18:30.000 --> 18:44.000
I'm breaking necks and I'm climbing up, though I can't roll the stuff and my money out,

18:44.000 --> 18:56.000
cause I can't get down so let's wrap it up, I'ma keep it going till I ain't got nothing.

18:56.000 --> 19:00.000
I'mma keep it going, I'mma keep it going, so hang on now.

19:08.000 --> 19:10.000
Leo, I like the fit, the jacket's really nice.

19:10.000 --> 19:12.000
Thank you, I like your jacket even more actually.

19:12.000 --> 19:13.000
Thank you.

19:13.000 --> 19:16.000
Do you know what, I like bow free jackets, but I'm having a terrible day.

19:16.000 --> 19:17.000
I've lost my shoe, Leo.

19:17.000 --> 19:18.000
What is that?

19:18.000 --> 19:19.000
I had to seal your slider.

19:19.000 --> 19:20.000
Jack, it's fine.

19:20.000 --> 19:22.000
You're gonna watch Team Secret, you're gonna watch your favorite things.

19:22.000 --> 19:23.000
No.

19:23.000 --> 19:24.000
Everything's gonna be okay.

19:24.000 --> 19:25.000
No, no, no, Anne, you don't understand.

19:25.000 --> 19:27.880
In the lower bracket everything is going wrong for me this stage.

19:27.880 --> 19:28.880
Jack, it's fine.

19:28.880 --> 19:31.720
You will still see some of the best teams and the best players in EML.

19:31.720 --> 19:35.720
No, Leo, also you don't understand the best player in EML, Hungry.

19:35.720 --> 19:37.400
He's been eliminated.

19:37.400 --> 19:41.400
Everything is going wrong for me.

19:41.400 --> 19:42.400
Hungry.

19:42.400 --> 20:12.380
it is lower bracket day here at the

20:12.380 --> 20:19.380
I think it's good that we find ourselves here because judging that cold opener, I don't know if there's a cure acting career for us out there.

20:19.380 --> 20:32.380
What do you mean? We're actually pretty good. I thought it was great acting. Hungry. Yeah. See you could believe. Yeah. The disbelief. I believe you're not hungry. Hungry is genuinely my favorite player and there is no acting about that.

20:32.380 --> 20:39.380
That's fair. But yeah, the shirt and everything. Yeah, the shirt and everything. Yeah, the shirt and everything. Yeah, the shirt and everything. Yeah.

20:39.380 --> 20:43.180
no acting about that's fair but yeah the shirt everything it was it was fun to

20:43.180 --> 20:46.820
do I love doing these little bits that we do here we are hungry as well for some

20:46.820 --> 20:50.860
siege we'll talk about the brackets we've had a team starting in that we said

20:50.860 --> 20:54.100
goodbye to two of those at the end of the group stage 18 now find ourselves in

20:54.100 --> 20:57.060
the brackets and on Monday we had those matches in the upper bracket but

20:57.060 --> 21:00.660
today we're diving down into the lower bracket into the alligator's yeah it

21:00.660 --> 21:03.580
is elimination day and it means that we're gonna stand teams home and it

21:03.580 --> 21:06.660
means that some dreams will be crushed but it also means that you know

21:06.660 --> 21:10.580
I'm looking at the game sister Jack. They were no big surprise. I think the two fabrics really come on top. Yeah

21:10.820 --> 21:11.860
No, absolutely

21:11.860 --> 21:14.340
They did and of course lower bracket now that we're in it

21:14.340 --> 21:16.780
We're in the bottom two games on the left hand side of your screen now

21:16.780 --> 21:17.620
We're in those games

21:17.620 --> 21:22.580
Should you win you advance through to the games to qualify to yourself in Salt Lake City on Friday?

21:22.580 --> 21:25.620
Should you lose it? You are eliminated from Contention

21:25.620 --> 21:28.900
You will not be going to the major and you will be also at this point

21:28.900 --> 21:32.140
We put yourself in the back foot for SI standings and all that wonderful good stuff

21:32.140 --> 21:36.660
That's very far ahead still, but it's worth thinking about that already at the kickoff here

21:36.660 --> 21:41.860
We'll have a look at our schedule for today just to best of these and we saw on Monday thought that could go by

21:42.140 --> 21:45.420
Very fast. We had some really dominant matches, but looking at these ones

21:45.420 --> 21:49.740
I hope and I think they'll be more competitive today. Yeah, you would expect so I think the lower bracket

21:49.740 --> 21:54.300
I think from what we've seen from all of kickoff groups plus Monday's play days really sets itself

21:54.300 --> 21:59.460
You know a side is there's the teams that have had their trials and tribulations that have had their struggles

21:59.460 --> 22:04.020
But because a lot of them aren't so in the same boat you would expect quite competitive games because of that

22:04.020 --> 22:08.860
Yeah to game of inconsistencies right with team some really high highs from every team seven very low lows as well

22:08.860 --> 22:12.660
It's just a question of who's gonna turn up today fix the most mistakes and be the better team

22:12.660 --> 22:14.460
Yeah, before we jump in our matches today

22:14.460 --> 22:16.460
I think we have to talk about something that we saw yesterday

22:16.860 --> 22:23.700
Fresh off the press so near a player or or operator balancing changes that came out yesterday

22:25.100 --> 22:27.140
Yes, we could say some smaller ones

22:27.140 --> 22:31.180
So we could say they might be bigger, but at least we have a few of them that really affect what he's yeah

22:31.180 --> 22:37.500
Exactly, it's just a small tweak, but they've had quite a big impact particularly the he's that here's the four that we're looking at in terms of

22:37.500 --> 22:41.240
The ones that will influence our e-sport you've got Raora with the panel times

22:41.240 --> 22:46.720
But also the panel distance and Okudos has been posting a lot about the different things you can do with this one because believes

22:46.720 --> 22:51.340
That will have a big impact particularly the big change there is actually the time to deploy for the

22:51.340 --> 22:56.380
for the defenders to raise those gates is now six seconds, which is massive. Grimm's had a slight

22:56.380 --> 23:00.860
nerf with a lower deployment time in terms of, oh, a higher deployment time. So that means that

23:00.860 --> 23:07.100
if I see a Grimm now, I have like 0.2 seconds more to shoot at it. Exactly. Exactly. Clash just

23:07.100 --> 23:11.020
had a buff. I have no idea in the world who was asking for that apart from you, Leo. I

23:11.020 --> 23:16.620
would be honest. I wanted it. And then everybody, everybody can rejoice because smoke has got a

23:16.620 --> 23:21.660
shield back which makes it massive in our esport because shields are a big part of it and smoke with

23:21.660 --> 23:26.060
the shotgun is a big part of defensive self and i know that big anybody also probably requested the

23:26.060 --> 23:31.260
clash buff as well yeah so much power in that man let's focus on riora because i i think like

23:31.260 --> 23:35.180
you said kudos has showed some of the examples i think let's take an example of gash for example

23:35.180 --> 23:39.740
the new wrench so 10 more meters that means that you can directly take gash control you can

23:39.740 --> 23:43.340
close off the three steps and look all the way from gash steps you could close off directly

23:43.340 --> 23:47.740
the cash door. That one is OP and that means that basically if you want to go and you can close

23:47.740 --> 23:53.580
oil pit as well, in this scenario if you've got cash control that way I can be super effective

23:53.580 --> 23:58.860
and just keep in mind it's got a DMR, a really good one, it's got smokes, so right now it becomes

23:58.860 --> 24:03.260
a little bit more of a meta operator. It's difficult, I mean I hope to see some of those

24:03.260 --> 24:07.260
changes already coming into action today with our two matches that we have here. We can jump

24:07.260 --> 24:11.020
into the first match all the day. We got Rebels and shifters going up against each other

24:11.020 --> 24:15.020
they're in a best of three and there are 14 French players in total inside of our

24:15.020 --> 24:18.180
league eight find themselves inside this matchup despite that they've never

24:18.180 --> 24:22.060
played against each other before but they should know each other. When we look

24:22.060 --> 24:25.060
at Rebel's dough there's a reason they find themselves in this lower bracket I

24:25.060 --> 24:28.100
think it's very clear that they stood absolutely no chance against Verge for

24:28.100 --> 24:31.100
one day. Yeah there was clearly a big gap between the two teams I think like

24:31.100 --> 24:33.940
you said some of these players know each other obviously LMS has been

24:33.940 --> 24:38.420
around so long in this game that you know as a sample French player

24:38.420 --> 24:41.860
he knows the other very well. Asa has played with P4 and Asmo before.

24:41.860 --> 24:46.980
He was part of the Wolves rework around EWC last year, so we look at players

24:46.980 --> 24:51.380
and we look at improvements. I think in general, I want to highlight Feno because I think that

24:51.380 --> 24:56.820
we've mentioned before that the only two strongmen that were really stepping up were LMS and Asa,

24:56.820 --> 25:00.900
the two players that had the most experience. I think that we're expecting some of the younger

25:00.900 --> 25:05.220
players like Feno, for example, to step up. That was the case, Jack. However,

25:05.220 --> 25:24.220
still such a mess to get between them and VP. Yeah, and that really was the big difference for me between them and VP because I actually thought that Rebels put in an okay performance for most of the game, even though the scoreline wouldn't suggest it, was composure. I think realistically, composure, as the definition says here, is the state of feeling of being calm and in control of oneself.

25:24.220 --> 25:30.220
Now there was multiple rounds across this best of three with verse pro where it didn't feel like rebels had the composure

25:30.220 --> 25:32.420
If we take a look at the very first round as an example

25:32.620 --> 25:38.620
You will see that this is a CCTV attack that VP are doing rebels are ready for it. Actually they've got Goyo

25:38.620 --> 25:44.020
They've got C4s. They actually take all of these kills out this big flurry of kills down to two versus two

25:44.020 --> 25:48.620
They even have Goyo go and collect the guy main door who was there to counter the solace

25:48.620 --> 25:49.900
That's great two versus two

25:49.900 --> 25:53.180
So what are you gonna do have the composure see it out when the guy's planting?

25:53.180 --> 25:58.180
No, what the rebels do, they hide in construction, they hide red stairs, get themselves injured,

25:58.180 --> 26:04.180
and then have to pick each other up during the down, which allows Naprol, which allows Vp to then go and plant and see out the round.

26:04.180 --> 26:08.180
That lack of composure costs them around, even though they have the right win conditions.

26:08.180 --> 26:11.180
And that was just, you know, equal man count.

26:11.180 --> 26:16.180
If you take an example where they actually have a massive man advantage, they still lack the composure.

26:16.180 --> 26:21.180
When they attack on Lair, for example, in this setup, they're in a 5v3, they're gonna get traded a little bit.

26:21.180 --> 26:27.180
As you're going to see, they're surrounding the bomb site, they're moving forward, they lose one of their player that's fine,

26:27.180 --> 26:33.180
Twitch uses that momentum to then go aggressive, go through the smoke here, get aggressive on a clash with baby by the other.

26:33.180 --> 26:37.180
Cool, 4v2, you surround the bomb site and you should just isolate the gunfights here.

26:37.180 --> 26:41.180
Problem, a player runs in, he's not traded. Another player runs in, not traded.

26:41.180 --> 26:45.180
DKB is just baiting at bathroom, not going in, which means that she gets killed as well.

26:45.180 --> 26:49.980
killed as well. And look at Demos, the whole time, missing all of his shots everywhere here,

26:49.980 --> 26:53.980
staying at the door, all of his teammates are dying, and he takes ages to get in.

26:54.700 --> 26:59.260
We've just seen four different 1v1s, and they just did not use the 4v2 at all.

26:59.260 --> 27:03.180
And those were two examples of multiple rounds in that best of 3, which as pro,

27:03.180 --> 27:06.700
who were one of the top teams in this league, where Rebels strategically won it,

27:06.700 --> 27:10.620
but in the late round, were just making the wrong decisions because they lacked that composure.

27:10.620 --> 27:12.780
Well, the good thing is for Rebels that they started in the upper bracket,

27:12.780 --> 27:19.500
And today they will be using an extra chance against shifters a team that we didn't necessarily expect to see in this lower bracket either

27:19.500 --> 27:24.140
And especially when we pull up the roster and we look at the stats because they do have some big haters on this roster

27:24.140 --> 27:26.420
Yeah, I think it is a little bit of a surprise

27:26.420 --> 27:31.060
I think we gave this roster realistically a lot of luck me and you on the desk last year Leo

27:31.060 --> 27:33.540
But we also give them a lot of leeway in that they were growing

27:33.540 --> 27:39.420
It was a surprise to see them in that fourth position going into the lower bracket because we expected them to improve to an extent

27:39.420 --> 27:43.380
they didn't prove Robbie, particularly, was one of the players that we identified as being

27:43.380 --> 27:47.300
a player that needs to step up alongside Prec. He did that, top 10 rated player. So I think

27:47.300 --> 27:50.540
from that point of view, it's been good, but the fact that they were still in that fourth

27:50.540 --> 27:53.180
position and lower bracket, Leo, probably not good enough.

27:53.180 --> 27:56.620
Yeah, it's not good enough because they were at the Munich Major, because they were

27:56.620 --> 28:01.020
expected to try and retain that top four position in EML because they improved technically

28:01.020 --> 28:05.540
the roster on paper by rotating Virtue out and gaining Blast, who's also a top 10

28:05.540 --> 28:08.900
competitive player in EML. And so if you look at this roster, you might ask yourself,

28:08.900 --> 28:13.040
How did they end up in this position? For me, there's one clear reason and that is their

28:13.040 --> 28:19.660
defense. Their defense side is so weak right now, it's actually insane. They've got a 35

28:19.660 --> 28:23.880
win rate in defense and that is a big issue. It seems that they only rely on rugby for

28:23.880 --> 28:27.840
the clutches to win it out. And that is something that I did not expect from a team

28:27.840 --> 28:32.240
that was doing so well and progressing so much last year and only changed one player.

28:32.240 --> 28:35.400
Yeah, we hope this team's a high standard. They've got an incredible coach and staff.

28:35.400 --> 28:39.760
got now actually quite a lot of experience. They've got P4 who's had a year eye gelling

28:39.760 --> 28:43.480
in English and realistically was expecting to step up. So to see such a low defensive

28:43.480 --> 28:47.040
win rate, to see Robbie Neven's clutch, it's something doesn't quite add up there.

28:47.040 --> 28:50.880
No, it's definitely doing a lot of damage to them in this roster here, but today they

28:50.880 --> 28:54.840
play a best of three so they can really test those errors that they've been making

28:54.840 --> 28:57.960
and see if they've already been able to find the right improvements for them. Looking

28:57.960 --> 29:01.040
at the map, we're going to bank as the first one. Oh, you look...

29:01.040 --> 29:03.040
Yeah, there are a few surprises.

29:03.040 --> 29:03.760
I'll say this.

29:03.760 --> 29:06.640
The first one is to see shifters speak bank

29:06.640 --> 29:08.360
when they lost it to Fnatic.

29:08.360 --> 29:08.920
Yes.

29:08.920 --> 29:10.960
They had a convincing victory.

29:10.960 --> 29:13.240
Yeah, I mean, they had a Heraldics 7-1.

29:13.240 --> 29:14.480
Everybody was being Heraldics.

29:14.480 --> 29:15.160
Yeah, OK.

29:15.160 --> 29:15.760
Exactly.

29:15.760 --> 29:17.360
I wouldn't take it as a staple.

29:17.360 --> 29:18.840
And on top of that, it was a game where they could

29:18.840 --> 29:19.640
converse at heavily.

29:19.640 --> 29:21.960
They lost to Fnatic, a team that we've seen yesterday

29:21.960 --> 29:23.840
does not play at the highest level of this game

29:23.840 --> 29:24.840
most of the time.

29:24.840 --> 29:26.960
And so you look at Rebels on the other side

29:26.960 --> 29:28.440
and you look at their map pool.

29:28.440 --> 29:30.240
And you look at the last time they played bank,

29:30.240 --> 29:32.400
They played it seven times during Challenger's series.

29:32.400 --> 29:34.400
Jack, they won it six times out of seven.

29:34.400 --> 29:37.040
So it is not a bad map whatsoever for them.

29:37.040 --> 29:38.720
You know what's even more surprising?

29:38.720 --> 29:40.240
Rebels pick Cafe.

29:40.240 --> 29:43.120
How on earth do you let Rebels pick Cafe?

29:43.120 --> 29:45.120
The map on which they beat Team Secret

29:45.120 --> 29:49.040
and on one side, Shifters, previously BDS,

29:49.040 --> 29:53.040
had not played that map from the entirety of the season of 2025.

29:53.040 --> 29:55.760
They just played it once at Reload, got 7-1 Baffiria and said,

29:55.760 --> 29:57.920
ah, that's it. We're not playing it from the year.

29:57.920 --> 30:12.920
So it is a very big surprise for me. And that screams shifter stuff. You know why? Because they love the Counter-Stratz, they knew that if they left Café Open, Rebels would pick it, which gives them the advantage because they were starting defense, and I think they heavily Counter-Strat at that one.

30:12.920 --> 30:21.920
Yeah. It's one of those on the face of it that has to be upon behind it from shifters. And I have no doubt there will be. Like I said, we say often we really do trust the staff on that team.

30:21.920 --> 30:28.420
that will be upon behind it, but certainly picking back feels a little bit different, especially when you've lost it's fantastic this stage.

30:28.420 --> 30:32.120
Well, it's part A as the support step to come up with the ideas of how to counter strategy.

30:32.120 --> 30:36.220
It's part B then through the IGL to call that strategy and to execute it well, right?

30:36.220 --> 30:39.520
And that's another issue that we're seeing with these two rosters in particular.

30:39.520 --> 30:44.220
If we compare their IGLs to another French IGL that is currently performing better.

30:44.220 --> 30:48.520
Yeah, and obviously we did not want to compare them to Leakey fact, for example, in dominating a lot.

30:48.520 --> 30:51.500
I actually took a player that has, I would say, average experience.

30:51.500 --> 30:55.160
Neko has had a couple of seasons, two seasons at the tier one level.

30:55.660 --> 30:57.600
If I look at before, he's even more experienced.

30:58.160 --> 31:00.780
I have a problem with before and after right now on the rosters

31:01.040 --> 31:02.780
because I think that they are too selfless.

31:02.980 --> 31:06.340
I think that, yes, being the ideal gives you an excuse to not be there

31:06.340 --> 31:07.340
in terms of fragging power.

31:07.480 --> 31:10.520
However, you cannot drop significantly that bad.

31:10.840 --> 31:13.780
You know, you know, the Canadians of EML, basically, you know,

31:13.780 --> 31:17.260
like in a situation where you don't have a sport, where you don't have

31:17.260 --> 31:24.060
Huge fragger on your side. If you don't have to support Rex and Andy, like some heavy eaters on your side

31:24.460 --> 31:27.180
It becomes really hard for you to drop that number, right?

31:27.180 --> 31:31.500
Yeah, and then the second thing to me is that if I look at before especially he's not playing the shields

31:31.500 --> 31:34.940
Las Moines, so he has no excuse, you know, Mato is playing the shields all the time

31:35.340 --> 31:40.300
And on top of that I'm looking at some player that has more experience than everyone here

31:40.700 --> 31:43.900
So I'm still waiting to see him step up in terms of statistics. Yeah

31:43.900 --> 31:50.000
That's the problem. We're holding a cross that pedestal is a good idea in the sleep with that similar experience look at a girl

31:50.000 --> 31:50.620
He is negative

31:50.620 --> 31:53.500
But he is playing on the shield and he is clutching up as well

31:53.500 --> 31:57.780
Which is somewhat we what we'd be expecting people and Marta to be doing all right?

31:57.780 --> 32:02.380
Well, it's a lot to be tested for these ideas a lot of pressure on the shoulder inside this best of three

32:02.500 --> 32:05.580
The message almost ready, which means we can call our casters in for today

32:05.580 --> 32:09.020
We're joined by ace and the best and guys when I ask you a question

32:09.020 --> 32:12.780
Which I feel like I'm gonna get a different answer depending on who answers it first

32:12.780 --> 32:16.780
I'm going to surprise you. I

32:16.780 --> 32:18.780
actually love sending teams off.

32:18.780 --> 32:19.780
I think it's a really exciting

32:19.780 --> 32:21.780
point of the tournament when we

32:21.780 --> 32:22.780
get down to decisions. It's

32:22.780 --> 32:24.780
Oh, it really means to me. So it

32:24.780 --> 32:26.780
gets more excited. I don't love

32:26.780 --> 32:28.780
the teams going home, but it's

32:28.780 --> 32:30.780
just a really exciting part. I'll

32:30.780 --> 32:31.780
give you some of that question.

32:31.780 --> 32:32.780
That was a great question to

32:32.780 --> 32:33.780
last time. I'm probably the

32:33.780 --> 32:34.780
same side naturally, because I

32:34.780 --> 32:36.780
like chaos. I'm not going to

32:36.780 --> 32:37.780
get into that. I'm not going

32:37.780 --> 32:38.780
to get into that. I'm not

32:38.780 --> 32:39.780
going to get into that. I'm

32:39.780 --> 32:40.780
not going to get into that.

32:40.780 --> 32:44.780
I'm probably the same side naturally because I like chaos, but I surprised you from Tim. Good question.

32:45.780 --> 32:49.780
Alright, then if we like chaos and we like saying teams home, who do we think is going to get them home today?

32:52.780 --> 32:55.780
We were talking about all four teams playing today and which one it's going to be.

32:56.780 --> 32:58.780
Tim, you can go first again. I don't know.

32:59.780 --> 33:03.780
I think if we look at the other game, I think Team Secret beat tonight.

33:04.780 --> 33:07.780
This one I think is absolutely on a knife edge. It's a 50-50.

33:07.780 --> 33:11.580
I'm not sure if they would

33:11.580 --> 33:13.380
symbol teams play well if they

33:13.380 --> 33:15.380
both play the best that they've

33:15.380 --> 33:17.580
shown us. I go 51 49 in favor

33:17.580 --> 33:18.580
of shifter. Guys. Can I

33:18.580 --> 33:19.680
remind you what Tim was saying

33:19.680 --> 33:20.680
probably about a week ago that

33:20.680 --> 33:21.680
he thought shifters would be a

33:21.680 --> 33:23.680
top 14. He did. Don't remind

33:23.680 --> 33:25.680
you of that. It's this weird

33:25.680 --> 33:27.680
world that we live in, isn't

33:27.680 --> 33:29.680
it? Where things can change?

33:29.680 --> 33:31.680
What a strange world that we

33:31.680 --> 33:33.680
live in where you can have

33:33.680 --> 33:35.680
an opinion and things can

33:35.680 --> 33:38.880
I'm going to go to the top four.

33:38.880 --> 33:41.580
They're very serious dangerous.

33:41.580 --> 33:43.980
I'm going to talk about it starting too soon.

33:43.980 --> 33:45.280
The match hasn't even been gone yet,

33:45.280 --> 33:46.380
but it will begin now.

33:46.380 --> 33:47.880
So take it away.

33:47.880 --> 33:48.880
Thank you very much.

33:48.880 --> 33:53.180
And I've seen you've got my glasses.

33:53.180 --> 33:57.880
I've seen them because I'm so annoyed with you.

33:57.880 --> 33:59.380
Oh, excellent day.

33:59.380 --> 34:00.480
Well, Tim, as we've heard,

34:00.480 --> 34:02.680
it is a pretty big one to get into between these two.

34:02.680 --> 34:03.980
The loser is eliminated.

34:03.980 --> 34:07.320
the winner goes on with a

34:07.320 --> 34:09.320
chance of still making it to

34:09.320 --> 34:11.120
Salt Lake City. It is a hard

34:11.120 --> 34:13.120
once cool, but I'm very excited

34:13.120 --> 34:15.120
to get into it. I feel the same

34:15.120 --> 34:18.120
as the socials there. 5644

34:18.120 --> 34:21.120
Super super tight. I just I'm

34:21.120 --> 34:23.120
sticking by what I said. I feel

34:23.120 --> 34:25.120
this some real potential in

34:25.120 --> 34:26.120
this shift is roster the

34:26.120 --> 34:28.120
back room staff. All the rest

34:28.120 --> 34:30.120
of it rebels of great as well,

34:30.120 --> 34:31.120
but just feel like if they

34:31.120 --> 34:32.120
come out and really deliver

34:32.120 --> 34:37.740
the next step, you know, we'll see whether that happens or not either way. I think one thing we've got to remember

34:37.740 --> 34:43.580
Obviously moving on from here. There's tough games coming up for these teams next. There's tough tough games coming up

34:44.700 --> 34:46.920
There is yeah, you get through this game here

34:46.920 --> 34:49.220
Which already feels like a bit of a dogfight down at the bottom

34:49.220 --> 34:53.860
And you got a face up against potentially some real big boys coming down from our top four teams

34:54.260 --> 34:55.880
It feels like there's a little bit of a gap

34:55.880 --> 35:04.380
But hopefully they can surprise the day to him and surprise us on Friday when we have even more games to break out and see exactly how this player bracket ends.

35:04.380 --> 35:06.880
Any key players in your mind that you want to watch out for today Tim?

35:06.880 --> 35:09.880
I know you were quite excited by some of what you saw the other day and shifted to know you're the number one fan.

35:09.880 --> 35:11.880
So who are you excited about?

35:11.880 --> 35:17.880
I'm not fighting again. You've already had me in the net once. I'm not doing it again.

35:17.880 --> 35:21.880
The thing is Tim, you don't even look like a fish. You don't even know if you're still in the net.

35:21.880 --> 35:26.440
I think picking up on what the desk has said there, I think it's a really important point

35:26.440 --> 35:31.440
We've got to get in it's not to pile pressure on a play like people but he's super experienced

35:31.440 --> 35:37.880
He's running this team in terms of our yelling which unfortunately the modern world of siege being what it is

35:38.240 --> 35:40.240
We need that bigger contribution

35:40.760 --> 35:45.040
We need to see that little bit more. It's gonna be super helpful for his team

35:45.040 --> 35:47.520
It might just unlock those big players

35:47.520 --> 35:51.320
players, Blaz, Brett, Robbie, you know, the ones that we're really going to see kind of

35:51.320 --> 35:56.160
at the forefront of it, you know, a lot of opportunities there for this team and I feel

35:56.160 --> 35:58.160
like people could be the key.

35:58.160 --> 36:03.000
He could beat him, he could well be, but as of long as there are times you can be

36:03.000 --> 36:06.440
that 10-1 player, sometimes you can be that 1-10 player and of course it's got to do

36:06.440 --> 36:07.440
you.

36:07.440 --> 36:09.600
He does more in the games, you know, as I said, he's an eye gel at the same time,

36:09.600 --> 36:12.440
but there's a bit of work to do with him today against Rebels who are no looked

36:12.440 --> 36:16.240
pretty, disappointing against Virtus Pro, but Virtus Pro are really looking up on

36:16.240 --> 36:17.240
our best teams.

36:17.240 --> 36:21.360
good start to miss Robbie getting rid of a lens there who had no idea he was

36:21.360 --> 36:27.200
being watched from on high good start good start shifters get themselves off

36:27.200 --> 36:31.400
to a nice entry especially on a Rome clearance of bank one of the you know

36:31.400 --> 36:35.080
features of bank one of the things that I think of immediately when you say bank

36:35.080 --> 36:39.600
to me I think of roaming I think of all that lovely space that there is it's

36:39.600 --> 36:44.120
one of our biggest maps so shutting that down early is brilliant we've seen a

36:44.120 --> 36:48.560
11s countless times on the old BDS roster wanting to get out there wanting to grow

36:48.560 --> 36:51.960
Yeah, they're on the vigil making a nuisance of himself this time

36:51.960 --> 36:56.840
It was the new he gets shut down and that's gonna give shifters control of this map pretty much

36:56.840 --> 36:59.700
We've got answer and then or just on blue stairs

37:00.800 --> 37:07.000
Everything is shifters already time can be no excuse there's if it is at the end of this round then it's a big problem

37:07.480 --> 37:12.080
Yeah, so like criminals gore often in towards gold by the looks of downstairs to get themselves fully

37:12.080 --> 37:15.520
We had to put him the downstairs. They've abandoned their hold at Blue Stairs.

37:15.520 --> 37:19.280
Abandoned out of service and have got themselves well and truly dug in now here on the Defenders side.

37:19.280 --> 37:22.160
So feeling they've got that halfway mark in the round and a lot of it they can now

37:22.160 --> 37:26.000
let's try and play behind the utility of which Tim, there isn't a hold turn.

37:26.000 --> 37:29.600
I'm looking at those three smoke canisters on the C4. Yes, you've got the trucks coming

37:29.600 --> 37:32.960
out of the full but that's pretty much the feel like enough to be able to hold out here

37:32.960 --> 37:36.000
for this dance. But no doubt about to see from the Hibana opening up the full.

37:37.040 --> 37:40.880
Fennel does pick up one onto Robbie. They need to be careful here as well because

37:40.880 --> 37:45.360
the ground fennel back up onto the top floor this could be disastrous from shifter's perspective

37:45.360 --> 37:50.400
blaz managed to get linked it's all about what fennel does here because there's an opportunity

37:50.400 --> 37:55.360
for shifters here to recognize hang on there are a little bit light on site we can just push p4

37:55.360 --> 38:00.720
i said we need even more from him and he delivers in round one he cuts off that flank he cuts off

38:00.720 --> 38:06.640
whatever it was the fennel was up to that is massive shifters are seriously in the driving

38:06.640 --> 38:09.920
seat now i was going to say what the hell's martin walks through he knows that they're trying

38:09.920 --> 38:13.040
to play this dance around the execute here. What's he thinking he can do playing up on

38:13.040 --> 38:18.240
main stairs to the second floor? And this execute is going down. The man's in Narnia.

38:20.400 --> 38:24.720
All right. Okay. I mean, it's quite coincidental because Leo was the one who pointed out

38:24.720 --> 38:28.480
Marto's missteps the other day back on there, being miles back from the rest of the team

38:28.480 --> 38:32.560
when they were executing and trying to get kills and they threw away a four versus two.

38:32.560 --> 38:37.040
Maybe he had a reason for what he was trying to do, but he was holding inside the teller's

38:37.040 --> 38:43.600
I was like, you know the plants to go down the second right smoke hasn't got a limited canisters and that was a very weird first round

38:44.080 --> 38:46.080
Love that from shifters. It was

38:46.640 --> 38:52.040
It's one of the most textbook attacks in all the stages and it really that serve as attack on on bank

38:52.040 --> 38:54.040
We've all done it a million times

38:54.560 --> 38:57.760
I love what they did they go in there. They take out a lens

38:57.760 --> 39:01.920
So the reason that that's important is because then they know that they've got the map

39:01.920 --> 39:06.160
So you've got a couple of choices, but there's only one thing you really need to do

39:06.160 --> 39:11.160
that. And that was leave people

39:11.160 --> 39:14.160
on the fight. You can sit up

39:14.160 --> 39:16.160
there and just prevent anything

39:16.160 --> 39:18.160
then coming through top floor.

39:18.160 --> 39:19.160
He can prevent anybody pressuring

39:19.160 --> 39:21.160
from cafeteria because he's on

39:21.160 --> 39:22.160
those steps. He can hold his line

39:22.160 --> 39:24.160
aside, and they can only really

39:24.160 --> 39:26.160
hit shots onto blue stairs. Nobody

39:26.160 --> 39:27.160
is going to be at the top of

39:27.160 --> 39:28.160
there once you down and serve

39:28.160 --> 39:30.160
anywhere. So people just hold

39:30.160 --> 39:32.160
that position and he gets to

39:32.160 --> 39:34.160
for his free time. It gets

39:34.160 --> 40:03.160
Shifters have known that they are secure inside a server. Nobody can challenge us from the hatch, because people are on steps on the flight watch, so nobody can get to it, and you know, it just puts it off, and also, as P4 is finding these people pushing into him on top floor, he's saying, guys, there's only three inside, there's only two inside actually, and you can see the pressure increase from shifters pushing for that plant, pushing for everything to happen, finding them kills, being willing to get a bit more aggressive inside a site.

40:03.160 --> 40:05.960
Really nice. Really, really good first attack from Chef. He's impressed.

40:07.160 --> 40:09.160
Well, let's see how things build out from here, then.

40:09.160 --> 40:12.160
Like you say, Tim, it could yet be your number four team.

40:12.160 --> 40:14.160
Still always those spots to fight for.

40:14.160 --> 40:17.160
We know that at least two teams are guaranteed to mount up a bracket.

40:17.160 --> 40:20.160
Whoever wins those theories, whether the one's going forward into Salt Lake

40:20.160 --> 40:23.160
and there's two more to fight through here in the lower bracket,

40:23.160 --> 40:26.160
one of them could be held by one of the teams on your screen now.

40:26.160 --> 40:29.160
Now, at least there's a big focus on trying to get this main double wall opened up,

40:29.160 --> 40:31.160
which it has been done, and very commonly on this map,

40:31.160 --> 40:34.000
Maxing with double hard breach band coming away.

40:34.000 --> 40:35.320
Ace, the banner being banned away.

40:35.320 --> 40:37.120
Means you can play the entire season at the corridor

40:37.120 --> 40:39.400
because it's not then available to be opened.

40:39.400 --> 40:40.800
Obviously the bands we've got here,

40:40.800 --> 40:42.760
it does mean you're just gonna take full advantage of it.

40:42.760 --> 40:44.880
Get that open dog and restrict the ability

40:44.880 --> 40:45.720
the defenders to move.

40:45.720 --> 40:46.920
Got to say by the way,

40:46.920 --> 40:48.560
very rare that we see both mirror windows

40:48.560 --> 40:50.120
inside of Janice like this.

40:51.240 --> 40:53.520
Yeah, we're still there once or twice,

40:53.520 --> 40:55.000
but like you see it not too often.

40:55.000 --> 40:57.680
It's usually just the one that's in there.

40:57.680 --> 40:59.360
But by having the double there again,

40:59.360 --> 41:02.800
just increasing the work that needs to be done from those windows.

41:02.800 --> 41:07.280
I'm just going to see Lem's feet intel back in, but another round, another entry.

41:07.280 --> 41:10.560
Blast manages to get second of two, taking down Lincoln.

41:10.560 --> 41:15.360
That's now going to leave us with shifters on that man advantage five versus four

41:15.360 --> 41:19.120
and starting to build something here, starting to create a little bit of space.

41:19.120 --> 41:23.680
But the question is going to remain, what are they doing about janitor?

41:24.800 --> 41:27.040
At this point, it's kind of what the last thing you have to worry about, right?

41:27.040 --> 41:31.040
They can get control of Janus from the back side or just smoke it up like they've kind of carved them here.

41:31.040 --> 41:34.540
They haven't really got to worry about these two mirror windows, but pressuring them from the back side

41:34.540 --> 41:40.040
means the mirror can't sit and watch on towards windows, and that just lets everyone then flood in towards the side and look for an execute.

41:40.040 --> 41:44.040
People may be looking to do it from the other side here. In fact, they've got a lovely big hole here opened up by the ace.

41:44.040 --> 41:47.040
There you go. Both are gone. Smoke's being used to make sure they can get that done.

41:47.040 --> 41:50.040
At least one was from Freck. Two down was come down, and it's gone.

41:50.040 --> 41:53.040
Wonderful stuff. And now it's opened like it's in a bean's team.

41:53.040 --> 41:55.240
and they can see absolutely everything in there.

41:55.240 --> 41:56.120
And this is where it's gonna start

41:56.120 --> 41:58.440
getting really rough Rebels to hold on and less.

41:58.440 --> 41:59.840
Marto on the plank, he gets rid of one,

41:59.840 --> 42:00.800
Brack Elzberg gets one,

42:00.800 --> 42:02.120
but those shifters still in charge,

42:02.120 --> 42:04.480
40-3, and the plan is going down.

42:04.480 --> 42:06.640
I think Marto's maybe hoping for the possibility

42:06.640 --> 42:09.000
of a Nitro from underneath, he had to leave Janitor,

42:09.000 --> 42:11.320
so why not then play to those strengths?

42:11.320 --> 42:13.840
The Lens manages to take down P4, stops the plant,

42:13.840 --> 42:16.320
but Lasmu manages to find Fenno,

42:16.320 --> 42:19.640
three versus two, as Marto works his way back upstairs,

42:19.640 --> 42:22.440
but this is where Rebels could start getting caught out

42:22.440 --> 42:26.920
because as soon as shifters are aware they have to push back into the site and there it is.

42:26.920 --> 42:31.000
Last more picks at one, Robbie the other, they'd lost site control.

42:31.000 --> 42:35.080
Shifters had gratefully taken it and caused out the round 2-0

42:35.080 --> 42:38.000
and another solid round for him, shifters.

42:38.000 --> 42:39.720
Yeah, really, really good round that one.

42:39.720 --> 42:43.040
And at least the turnaround revels the recovery effort at the end was better,

42:43.040 --> 42:45.080
but just never going to be in a fall with them.

42:45.080 --> 42:46.280
They were always fighting a long range.

42:46.280 --> 42:48.360
You saw a lens get thrown on the flank during as well.

42:48.360 --> 42:50.040
No doubt they had the same info on Marto.

42:50.040 --> 42:51.760
It was never going to be recovered from there.

42:51.760 --> 42:55.360
But I did like the patience that we saw in the attack side of that round from shifters.

42:55.360 --> 42:59.960
Just piece by piece, open up stock, force the player out of there, get rid of the two mirror windows,

42:59.960 --> 43:03.840
combine utility to make that happen, deal with the player that's coming up from Lobby.

43:03.840 --> 43:07.080
And yes, they lost that on the flank, but then we saw immediately eyes from the windows

43:07.080 --> 43:11.880
returning on towards Banana to make sure anyone coming round that way was going to find themselves caught out.

43:11.880 --> 43:14.640
So it just feels like it's just about everything considered at the moment.

43:14.640 --> 43:16.760
And this is where Rebels are thinking they're going to really struggle.

43:16.760 --> 43:21.040
They've got to change something, Tim, because they're being battled around at the minute by shifters.

43:21.040 --> 43:32.040
I know we're only 2 rounds in, you know, there's plenty of seats to play yet, but it is nothing like mattershifting, is it?

43:32.040 --> 43:39.040
You know, they're just doing the basics really, really well. It's like they're just ticking all the boxes for each attack.

43:39.040 --> 43:43.040
So, you know, I already explained that basement attack and why it worked and why it was good.

43:43.040 --> 43:45.800
And then the top floor, they've got the capital, they've got the ace.

43:45.800 --> 43:49.040
It's nothing like revolutionary, but they've used it well.

43:49.040 --> 43:53.640
They've recognised that the linchpin point of that defence is Janitor with the double mirror,

43:53.640 --> 43:56.760
and they've dealt with the utility, cleared it out and forced the players away.

43:56.760 --> 44:02.320
Just, you know, simple stuff, but stuff that we often see teams get wrong or get missed.

44:02.320 --> 44:04.560
And, you know, that's how defenders pick up rounds,

44:04.560 --> 44:07.200
but shifters have dealt with what's in front of them really well.

44:07.200 --> 44:11.240
Ticking boxers, really good kind of checklist, see you in a minute.

44:11.240 --> 44:15.400
I'm just going to say, Tim, something really don't look right in this round on that rebel side.

44:15.400 --> 44:16.240
Had a great time.

44:16.240 --> 44:20.320
And now, on the vigil, that's surely the Alem's roles you're playing.

44:22.440 --> 44:23.080
Well, we'll see.

44:23.080 --> 44:24.760
That would be his go-to.

44:24.760 --> 44:26.080
I don't ever think of vigil.

44:26.080 --> 44:27.360
I always think of Alem just back in the day.

44:27.360 --> 44:29.400
That would be his go-to operator.

44:29.400 --> 44:32.960
But here is one very much on new tomato being dealt with on the entry here by Robbie.

44:32.960 --> 44:34.680
Seemingly no bother at all.

44:34.680 --> 44:37.000
Losing out with the DMR onto the Daymark.

44:37.000 --> 44:39.480
And that was inside his car cleared out very quick.

44:39.480 --> 44:41.040
Yeah, this is the problem at the minute.

44:41.040 --> 44:48.000
Rebels are trying to play those kind of cute little roles on the floor above or floor below

44:48.000 --> 44:50.240
where they're playing, and it's just not working at the minute.

44:50.240 --> 44:54.760
Shifters are picking them up every single time, that's three rounds, three entries, and that

44:54.760 --> 44:59.040
means there's three rounds that Rebels have had to play effectively 4v5 throughout.

44:59.040 --> 45:03.320
This time you 4v5, actually quite rightly said, also includes a Vigil as well, which could

45:03.320 --> 45:04.320
be a problem.

45:04.320 --> 45:08.160
Quite a selfish operator, doesn't bring a lot of utility for the team, so all you're

45:08.160 --> 45:21.160
The left wing now is the gun, and he's trying to get the SMG 12 working, does manage to find one, kill on to LASMO, but they did lose the smoker along the way, Vigil dealt with, shifters have got him in their pocket at the minute, there's...

45:21.160 --> 45:30.160
Yeah, he's a bit of no-man's on there, two players, three players around him on that top floor, at the very least he managed to get rid of one, but the problem is, every other player on his team has collapsed around him.

45:30.160 --> 45:35.360
It's all down to link you by himself inside his body people are given for not thinking we were attacking into basement right now

45:35.360 --> 45:37.900
But again, there are three players flooding in around him

45:38.000 --> 45:41.480
There's nothing you can do to hold on another collapse here from rebels

45:41.480 --> 45:47.720
They've only got four kills team here across three rounds. Yeah, and you picked up on that vigil there

45:47.720 --> 45:49.940
I'm not putting the whole round on the vigil

45:49.940 --> 45:52.720
But I think it is an important point to make we talk about vigil a lot

45:52.720 --> 45:58.300
He is a little bit of a gamble of an operator because he brings nothing for the team. He's very selfish

45:58.300 --> 46:03.060
There's two jobs and that's not to say that the players pick it himself. It's just there's an operator choice

46:03.380 --> 46:09.220
You know there's two jobs that vigil has to do one is get kills the other is burn time and unfortunately

46:09.220 --> 46:12.040
Then we achieve neither of those on that top floor arm

46:12.040 --> 46:17.300
So all of a sudden you've had a basement defense without a key operator

46:17.380 --> 46:23.580
They didn't have you know mirror for example last time they played with thorn they played with Valkyrie down there

46:23.580 --> 46:27.020
The thorn I would pick up specifically that's who Fennel played last time around

46:27.020 --> 46:31.020
you know, really valuable

46:31.020 --> 46:32.020
operator now you've lost all

46:32.020 --> 46:33.020
that utility. You've lost those

46:33.020 --> 46:35.020
razor blooms from your lineup to

46:35.020 --> 46:37.020
have that vigil. You've got to

46:37.020 --> 46:39.020
make the wrong work. You've got

46:39.020 --> 46:41.020
to get the juice out of it, and

46:41.020 --> 46:43.020
it just really hasn't happened

46:43.020 --> 46:45.020
for them there. And I'm not

46:45.020 --> 46:47.020
surprised at all to see rebels

46:47.020 --> 46:49.020
calling in at this tactical

46:49.020 --> 46:50.020
timeout. Well, how things are

46:50.020 --> 46:52.020
going to in the down to lose

46:52.020 --> 46:53.020
the half six zero if it carries

46:53.020 --> 46:55.020
on at this pace, like I said,

46:55.020 --> 46:56.020
four kills across three

46:56.020 --> 46:59.100
first quarter of the game in the second one could only go the same unless they

46:59.100 --> 47:02.580
changed things around. I think part of the battle is, like back in round one we

47:02.580 --> 47:05.860
saw them do that exact thing on calling for to change things around. They played

47:05.860 --> 47:09.740
more turds or they dug inside a site, but then things went a little bit weird when we

47:09.740 --> 47:12.540
had Martha roaming up towards the second floor. The smoke was left alone

47:12.540 --> 47:15.780
outside the site. And what has happened very repeatedly throughout those three

47:15.780 --> 47:19.660
rounds is Schipter's just got very very good at isolating single players

47:19.660 --> 47:22.820
on the side of Rebels, knowing that Bank is quite a big map and forcing it

47:22.820 --> 47:27.140
two or three versus one if it isn't coming down to that and it's one versus one that there are yellow

47:27.140 --> 47:31.460
pings everywhere there are drones feeding information they just look like a very very well put together

47:31.460 --> 47:38.420
team like that there are safe in like a top 14 imagine that there's oh i don't want to get ahead of

47:38.420 --> 47:45.460
myself oh the bait oh i'm having a nibble but i'm not talking about it i'm not going to get

47:45.460 --> 47:50.340
ahead of myself but i will say if they win this game they are top six so you know do with

47:50.340 --> 47:52.340
You win this one, Tim?

47:52.340 --> 47:54.340
It's a tough one.

47:54.340 --> 47:56.340
Well, actually, it's not...

47:56.340 --> 47:58.340
It is a tough one.

47:58.340 --> 48:00.340
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

48:00.340 --> 48:02.340
That gives you this one point.

48:02.340 --> 48:05.340
Both of the next games are tough, no matter which way you look around it.

48:05.340 --> 48:08.340
I just think the other side of the bracket, Team Secret and Fanatic,

48:08.340 --> 48:11.340
side is slightly tougher, because they've got Falcons or VP.

48:11.340 --> 48:14.340
On this side, you've got G2 and Twisted Bands.

48:14.340 --> 48:17.340
Both extremely good teams. I am not downplaying either.

48:17.340 --> 48:23.740
But for arguments sake a world where say twisted minds get knocked down to the lower bracket. Is that a game shifters can win?

48:23.740 --> 48:29.100
I think it is we've seen twisted minds be a little bit up and down over the kickoff group phase

48:29.460 --> 48:34.580
You know when they go they're very good, but they can be counted and played against as well

48:34.580 --> 48:40.020
So I can see a world where you know shift was have a path to Salt Lake

48:41.340 --> 48:45.340
Tell you what shift just to the person how to play this person rounds if they come up against twisted minds

48:45.340 --> 48:50.340
that will be a phenomenal game.

48:50.340 --> 48:56.340
I agree. I agree, especially with the prize that's on the line, just as a reminder to everybody,

48:56.340 --> 49:02.340
these are the lower bracket quarterfinals, so a loser goes home, winner moves on to the lower bracket semis.

49:02.340 --> 49:06.340
The point that you need to get to, you don't have to win the lower bracket final.

49:06.340 --> 49:12.340
Both lower bracket finalists go through to the major, as do both upper bracket finalists.

49:12.340 --> 49:16.860
So just winning the next game after this, is enough to get to the merger.

49:18.500 --> 49:19.460
Well, here we go.

49:19.460 --> 49:21.940
Top is coming out, trying to look for the way it's for,

49:21.940 --> 49:23.420
but it's been eight really coming out there,

49:23.420 --> 49:24.620
and it's asked to start stepping on four,

49:24.620 --> 49:25.940
while looking is going from 80,

49:25.940 --> 49:28.100
and it's again, shifters just in full control,

49:28.100 --> 49:30.660
knowing every single move the Rebels are going to take.

49:30.660 --> 49:33.300
And we're in the face of another four versus two here,

49:33.300 --> 49:35.500
Lames and Fenno, try and hold on,

49:35.500 --> 49:37.140
but can't even hit the shot they need to.

49:37.140 --> 49:38.380
Frack finds his third in the round,

49:38.380 --> 49:39.900
and Lames has got to do something.

49:39.900 --> 49:55.900
Notice the players from the side of ACM for great C4, he's going to find Blast, but it isn't going to find him in the round too, because that C4 was normally intended to try and deny what's going on upstairs, but a good spray to the wall, we'll get rid of Freck, a 1 vs 2 to go, 11's winding back the ears here, Tim, he's got 20 seconds to get it done.

49:55.900 --> 50:03.540
It's absolutely doable. He's got full HP and the problem that he's got is the time that's passed by because shifters have been able to get themselves

50:03.700 --> 50:09.340
Into positions you've got one outside on the repel. It's impossible to win now really with 50

50:09.340 --> 50:15.100
And there's a good reason why a lens has basically called it a day and he's having a chat with his team and giving him that

50:15.280 --> 50:17.940
Opportunity here. There's two things playing against him

50:17.940 --> 50:21.500
He'll know that he's got an IQ below that can just watch for when he gets on that diffuser

50:21.500 --> 50:23.900
And he knows that he's got last mile on the windows

50:23.900 --> 50:33.900
because of the changes that we had a while ago on the windows. Now, you vault animation out of the windows, you can't really like ADS and shoot on the way down.

50:33.900 --> 50:40.900
So getting the players off those windows, you know, we used to see players throw themselves out of the windows, get the kills, get back in, get upstairs.

50:40.900 --> 50:46.900
It's just really not feasible anymore, especially with 20 seconds left on the clock. So, Elems knew that the game was done there.

50:46.900 --> 50:51.660
So he's, I think, used his time wisely to, you know, have that kind of unofficial

50:51.660 --> 50:55.100
additional tact time. Obviously the coach can't get involved, but the rest of the

50:55.100 --> 50:59.340
team at least can have a chat between themselves and try to further pinpoint

50:59.340 --> 51:02.820
what's going wrong here, because things are going wrong for them. They've lost

51:02.820 --> 51:07.780
all four entry battles. They've lost all four rounds. You've got Robbie at the

51:07.780 --> 51:11.940
minute was five and one coming into that round. I'm not sure how many he

51:11.940 --> 51:15.140
picked up during the round, but, you know, you've got a shifters team that

51:15.140 --> 51:20.140
just starting to run away with

51:20.140 --> 51:21.140
it. You know, Fred went to be

51:21.140 --> 51:22.140
in that one. He's now 61

51:22.140 --> 51:23.140
Blast 4 and 2 P4 is getting in

51:23.140 --> 51:24.140
on the action. You remember I

51:24.140 --> 51:25.140
said they needed that little bit

51:25.140 --> 51:26.140
more from P4. A couple of those

51:26.140 --> 51:28.140
came in round one holding the

51:28.140 --> 51:30.140
flank facilitating those of the

51:30.140 --> 51:32.140
players on site as I was talking

51:32.140 --> 51:34.140
about brilliant stuff so far.

51:34.140 --> 51:35.140
Really impressive. Four zero

51:35.140 --> 51:38.140
shifters. Surprising no one

51:38.140 --> 51:39.140
Tim. I'm actually going to

51:39.140 --> 51:43.140
disagree with you. I think I

51:43.140 --> 51:48.140
I could understand the Tatsumai if you had like 60 plus seconds on the clock in a round, it was like a 1 vs 4.

51:48.140 --> 51:53.140
But I think that is kind of more speaking volumes about the mentality in the Rebels camp right now.

51:53.140 --> 51:57.140
We see now Animated Mato has been up to the first three rounds, he hasn't got like a happy bunny.

51:57.140 --> 52:03.140
I think for a lens planned aside for the 30 seconds left and although it's highly unlikely you win that round

52:03.140 --> 52:09.140
to give up with 30 seconds left in the post-plan and just think I'm just gonna sit here now and we'll chat

52:09.140 --> 52:11.500
could do if you try and lost the round as well.

52:11.500 --> 52:13.540
Just feels a little bit...

52:13.540 --> 52:15.260
Out of that, more like a mental breaker

52:15.260 --> 52:16.100
than anything else to me.

52:16.100 --> 52:17.580
And that's more again, the sign probably right now

52:17.580 --> 52:18.940
of the morale inside of Rebels

52:18.940 --> 52:20.460
than it was so much innocent decisions

52:20.460 --> 52:21.980
having an unofficial timeout.

52:21.980 --> 52:24.060
Hopefully, they've used that time well

52:24.060 --> 52:24.980
as something is gonna change

52:24.980 --> 52:26.940
because like we said during the timeout,

52:26.940 --> 52:29.140
they kind of have to get things moving now.

52:29.140 --> 52:30.460
If they get even one round at this point,

52:30.460 --> 52:31.940
it's gonna feel like a little bit of a miracle

52:31.940 --> 52:32.860
to be honest with you.

52:32.860 --> 52:35.460
Let alone the two, they've still got a chance to get.

52:35.460 --> 52:40.460
I think had the operators running and being different, I would agree with you.

52:40.460 --> 52:44.460
But knowing that there's an IQ underneath and somebody on the repair.

52:44.460 --> 52:48.460
I can see both sides of that argument. I would say that.

52:48.460 --> 52:51.460
It's on your fence, man.

52:51.460 --> 52:56.460
Well, you know, I think you knew that the round was done at that point.

52:56.460 --> 53:01.460
It's not about giving up, I think he knows there was no winning.

53:01.460 --> 53:19.460
I think that's what comes down to a mental point and that's why I kind of edge with agreeing with you a little bit, in that I think that Rebel's mental is gone right now. I think they need to give their heads a wobble, they're absolutely rattled.

53:19.460 --> 53:24.260
Shifters are just running over them at the minute. There's nothing they can do to get anything working.

53:24.260 --> 53:27.460
I tell you what they could really do with it, obviously you could always do with this.

53:27.460 --> 53:30.660
But they could just really do with the big 2v4 clutch here from these two.

53:30.660 --> 53:35.760
Master and Martau can like, lock this out. It'll just give them that fire moment of like,

53:35.760 --> 53:37.460
Right, come on, like, we've got a red...

53:37.460 --> 53:41.460
And they could come away 4-2 from the half, which, you know, would be there like robbery.

53:41.460 --> 53:44.460
They're probably not gonna, but it'd be there like robbery.

53:44.460 --> 53:47.460
Well, I also want a pink unicorn, but we can't all have what we want.

53:47.460 --> 53:50.460
I don't want to be a world in which they can hold this tower.

53:50.460 --> 53:53.460
They can stall a bit longer with Marco here getting out with more of these folks.

53:53.460 --> 53:55.460
Still got Barbarian by pocket, interestingly, by the way.

53:55.460 --> 53:56.460
He forgets one.

53:56.460 --> 53:59.460
Marco at least trades it out, but they know exactly where he is.

53:59.460 --> 54:01.460
Every single time a Rebels player fires a bullet,

54:01.460 --> 54:04.460
there are two guns on the side of the shifters pointed in their direction,

54:04.460 --> 54:06.460
and there is always a response.

54:06.460 --> 54:08.460
They look on fire right now, but like I've said,

54:08.460 --> 54:12.460
I think the mentor on the side of Rebels is just crumbling before our very eyes.

54:12.460 --> 54:14.460
If there is anything even left to crumble.

54:14.460 --> 54:17.100
you know, it's a lot of

54:17.200 --> 54:19.100
trouble. Yeah I agree with

54:19.200 --> 54:21.140
you. I think I think they

54:21.240 --> 54:24.100
need a break at this point. I

54:24.200 --> 54:25.700
think halftime. You know that

54:25.800 --> 54:27.200
halftime two minute time out

54:27.300 --> 54:29.140
cannot come soon enough for

54:29.240 --> 54:30.480
rebels right now. They're just

54:30.580 --> 54:32.000
even two minutes need to get

54:32.100 --> 54:33.920
out of this game. Just have

54:34.020 --> 54:35.580
that opportunity of like right

54:35.680 --> 54:36.880
we're up. We've got the side

54:36.980 --> 54:38.480
switch. It needs something to

54:38.580 --> 54:39.780
cling on to. You know whether

54:39.880 --> 54:41.420
it be a clutch, whether it be

54:41.520 --> 54:43.220
a side switch, whether it

54:43.220 --> 54:49.720
And they just packed it in that for the shifters at the minute, you know, we can see why shifters have picked back here.

54:49.720 --> 54:53.720
They are absolutely running over them. Really, really good stuff from them.

54:53.720 --> 54:59.220
And we're going to see, they're not going to take their foot off the pedal, they're bringing the glass along again.

54:59.220 --> 55:03.720
It's worth mentioning in the patch notes, there was a bit of an adjustment to glass as well.

55:03.720 --> 55:09.220
They picked up on the main ones, which was really interesting on the desk, kind of the grim, the glass.

55:09.220 --> 55:14.320
Sorry, the clash the rower and all really important changes, but glass

55:14.700 --> 55:18.820
It's only a small change, but you know I when you move in with it

55:19.320 --> 55:21.320
your targets get fuzzy and

55:21.640 --> 55:28.580
To kind of reduce your accuracy and reduce the sort of value of his spoke when you move into preventing playing like an entry player

55:28.580 --> 55:31.620
If you were and we've seen that change a little bit move of time

55:32.060 --> 55:37.220
To reach maximum distortion has gone up three seconds. So it's 15 seconds rather than 12

55:37.220 --> 55:41.740
now so they just maybe be a little bit more stable in his scope when he's moving around

55:41.740 --> 55:44.220
but it shouldn't be a huge change.

55:44.220 --> 55:48.700
Well, sort of vivid things to worry about in the marker of details granted for Revolves

55:48.700 --> 55:49.700
so far.

55:49.700 --> 55:51.820
Tim and Eason have been real special puts together.

55:51.820 --> 55:54.380
Now, I did say everyone wants to see a bit of change coming out of them.

55:54.380 --> 55:55.860
I don't hate what they've gone for here.

55:55.860 --> 55:58.300
They've gone for this more aggressive track base set that they've gone for these

55:58.300 --> 55:59.820
roamers and the soldiers from the visual.

55:59.820 --> 56:01.820
They're looking to keep themselves busy.

56:01.820 --> 56:03.380
And to a point, it did start out that way.

56:03.380 --> 56:06.380
I'm like the other trucks trying to deal with the shield and they've got rid

56:06.380 --> 56:10.720
Good stuff. Again, as soon as the bullet comes out, there's an immediate response from the other side.

56:10.720 --> 56:16.080
However, I think as you just saw, we've got one player wrapping it out inside the CC right now, so that could be very interesting.

56:16.080 --> 56:17.280
And it's dead, never mind.

56:17.280 --> 56:19.980
That's going down. There's P4's got into position.

56:19.980 --> 56:22.880
He sees an opportunity and he's called it. He's going for it.

56:22.880 --> 56:28.280
And again, Rebels have been called to wait off-site, and now they have to start fighting back in.

56:28.280 --> 56:31.780
Freck manages to get a double. It's all up to Fano. He manages to get one.

56:31.780 --> 56:35.680
He's got two more to find. There's the first. 1B2 becomes a 1B1.

56:35.680 --> 56:40.320
He's downstairs now and he's searching for Breck, but Breck knows exactly where he is!

56:40.320 --> 56:44.080
It doesn't matter! Make it four in the round! Make it a clutch!

56:44.080 --> 56:48.240
I said Rebels needed something to cling to and Fenor just gave it them!

56:49.200 --> 56:52.800
Fenor the Fabulous! What a round from him at 4k!

56:52.800 --> 56:56.560
But again it says a lot when you look at the reaction from him.

56:56.560 --> 57:00.560
Not a shout, not a fist in the air, nothing.

57:00.560 --> 57:03.440
I think because Rebels still know there is a long way to come but I'll give it to

57:03.440 --> 57:07.440
a little bit nervous when he was still top square after the defuser had gone down.

57:07.440 --> 57:10.440
Let's go and hear what our desk got to say about that half though Tim.

57:10.440 --> 57:15.440
Thank you very much guys, a good comeback we saw there, briefly from Rebels, but in general in this first half

57:15.440 --> 57:18.440
it feels like shifters woke up today and all the sudden remembered who they were.

57:18.440 --> 57:20.440
These attacks have been flawless.

57:20.440 --> 57:23.440
Yeah, they're super clean. I think one guy that I want to highlight for this,

57:23.440 --> 57:25.440
we mentioned it during the pre-match was before.

57:25.440 --> 57:28.440
I think he's done an incredible job on the droning.

57:28.440 --> 57:31.440
You see him most of the time sitting on it, and then you see the Europeans

57:31.440 --> 57:34.160
and you see people dying again and again and again.

57:34.160 --> 57:37.400
The coordination led by the intel gathering is actually insane.

57:37.400 --> 57:39.640
And then the work of Frank as well, who's doing crazy.

57:39.640 --> 57:44.440
And some of these executes, if we look at them, you know, some of these executes are absolutely crazy.

57:44.440 --> 57:48.440
They do it perfectly. Look at this. The Drone Info P4, the opening kill, beautiful.

57:48.440 --> 57:52.240
These guys are aware they know he's in CO, it's fine. The trade is coming straight after.

57:52.240 --> 57:56.440
Two guys were ready to take it. The roam clear has been absolutely insane, Jack.

57:56.440 --> 57:59.040
The coordination from these stairs on the top level.

57:59.040 --> 58:14.040
And that's exactly what you want to see. You want to see in terms of P4, the fact that he's maybe calling not just for strats and calling like, hey guys, we do this strat, but actually the information calling players around, you need to push him, double ping, you know, yellow ping, double push him together, get the kill, get the advantage and roll out from that.

58:14.040 --> 58:27.040
In comparison though, we've got to talk about Mato as the IGL of Rebels because he had probably quite one of the biggest crash outs that we've seen in terms of the visual of the cameras, in terms of the crash out as well.

58:27.040 --> 58:31.040
Clearly looking as you can see here, very, very stressed inside this game.

58:31.040 --> 58:41.040
We were also fortunate enough to be listening to team comms and we're fortunate enough to be joined by a French-speaking man next to me who can kind of translate a little bit as well.

58:41.040 --> 58:47.040
Yeah, yeah, the reality is that the comms are going crazy, like in a team, they're overreacting to everything.

58:47.040 --> 58:53.040
You can see that as soon as they lose a player, once someone else will go pick, but they're all picking one by one, so they're getting picked up one by one.

58:53.040 --> 58:55.720
And then the reaction after this crash out is not the right one.

58:55.720 --> 58:59.040
They're supposed to play together and they're supposed to come things down.

58:59.040 --> 59:01.920
They didn't do it. They continued aggressing.

59:01.920 --> 59:03.920
They continued to play a wide extension.

59:03.920 --> 59:05.920
It got room cleared all the time.

59:05.920 --> 59:08.880
It was the wrong decision and the inexperience is really showing here.

59:08.880 --> 59:09.880
And there was only one clutch.

59:09.880 --> 59:12.720
That's the only reason they've won a round was a clutch that's gone wrong.

59:12.720 --> 59:14.840
As we move into this band phase as well,

59:14.840 --> 59:19.480
you see in Rebels actually take away these army, I think that's pretty far.

59:19.480 --> 59:22.560
Normally it's about breaches or utility on the side of bank.

59:22.560 --> 59:25.920
So, his army, maybe the merit to follow is actually going to be decayed as well.

59:25.920 --> 59:29.600
Very, very sensible. It still allows us to throw the bottom floor with getting rid of our electricity.

59:29.600 --> 59:33.280
I think the main thing to me is that it seems that right now they are struggling to react to whatever

59:33.280 --> 59:36.880
shifters were doing. Now they're in a position where they can be proactive. They're supposed to

59:36.880 --> 59:41.120
be in attack and that means that they have more opportunities to do something different here.

59:41.120 --> 59:44.560
Okay, both giving hope for rebels going into the second half. They need it as well.

59:44.560 --> 59:48.320
A clear reset is needed if they want to get a good score on this first fight.

59:48.320 --> 59:52.960
attackers. Thank you very much,

59:52.960 --> 59:54.680
Sean. Well, let's see what can

59:54.680 --> 59:56.120
transform here, Tim, in the

59:56.120 --> 59:57.720
second half. We so often say

59:57.720 --> 59:59.080
that there are two halves to a

59:59.080 --> 01:00:00.520
game of siege, both factual

01:00:00.520 --> 01:00:02.160
and metaphorical, that things

01:00:02.160 --> 01:00:03.800
can transform massively once

01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:06.120
decided what. But also, we're

01:00:06.120 --> 01:00:06.640
going to have to get away

01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:08.040
with this. And let's see if

01:00:08.040 --> 01:00:09.000
that's going to be the case.

01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:09.840
The blitz we had taken off

01:00:09.840 --> 01:00:10.560
line, I think the main one

01:00:10.560 --> 01:00:11.680
for me here, in terms of

01:00:11.680 --> 01:00:12.960
pace, being denied away from

01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:16.040
rebels. Yeah, that's a

01:00:16.040 --> 01:00:17.080
shift to say, you know,

01:00:17.080 --> 01:00:23.080
They've just got that last round, you know, not letting them have those kind of crutches to play behind,

01:00:23.080 --> 01:00:30.080
not giving them anything easy to build some momentum, you know, actual physical momentum within the game.

01:00:30.080 --> 01:00:35.080
You know, maybe take away, like you say, those opportunities to go fast, to get aggressive

01:00:35.080 --> 01:00:39.080
and just make them fight for it a little bit more.

01:00:39.080 --> 01:00:43.080
Shifters, I think, the gameplay here leans when I'm looking at their operators.

01:00:43.080 --> 01:00:45.520
It's towards the frustration of them now.

01:00:45.520 --> 01:00:47.080
They know that they can.

01:00:47.080 --> 01:00:49.360
Got them on the ropes, they've put a couple of body shots in,

01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:50.720
they've got them where they want them.

01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:54.880
So now on the attack frustrate and give them plenty to think about.

01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:57.680
You've got the smoke for the Nile, you've got razor blooms,

01:00:57.680 --> 01:01:00.720
you've got F-nats, you've got Faltcams to worry about.

01:01:00.720 --> 01:01:03.040
All this utility to play behind

01:01:03.040 --> 01:01:05.880
and just make life as difficult as possible for them.

01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.040
Well, with it being a little slow down,

01:01:09.040 --> 01:01:10.760
it's been a bit of flying the Monty being there.

01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:11.720
It does mean it's slightly slower.

01:01:11.720 --> 01:01:16.080
They've gone for a very execute heavy focus here. The docker be coming out along with the

01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:20.840
The the day must and they could have them some reason I don't know if you have no idea what it was

01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:26.600
They must the doc could be coming out together good for the Roma hunting side of things and also for moving through the map also both great

01:01:26.600 --> 01:01:31.200
For execution first resting, but the crucial thing about this is you have to then get to the point of execute

01:01:31.200 --> 01:01:35.080
Good make make me use the shield those that a lens get in and get rid of freck on the entry

01:01:35.080 --> 01:01:40.840
That is very critical entry as well to my thing because as we've seen they lost the majority of the first kills in the round

01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:44.840
the first half. Yeah,

01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:45.840
definitely. That's again, giving

01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:46.840
them a good foundation to build

01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:48.840
up and you couldn't take

01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:49.840
anybody better than Freck out at

01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:50.840
the minute 11 and three

01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:52.840
absolutely flying right now.

01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:53.840
But I like this first round

01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:55.840
attempt. You five one up. You've

01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:56.840
got an opportunity to say let's

01:01:56.840 --> 01:01:57.840
get out in the map and just

01:01:57.840 --> 01:01:59.840
see if we can, you know, make

01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:00.840
a real nuisance of ourselves.

01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:02.840
I think I'm wondering for

01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:04.840
Blasio. No, there's no I was

01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:05.840
going to say there's no

01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:06.840
mute jammer and stairs or

01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:07.840
anything. We just saw the

01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:08.840
death marks failing, but I

01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:13.640
because we do see that he is in a new genre at the minute, does manage to pick up Linky.

01:02:13.640 --> 01:02:19.740
And we're going to have a lens as well, getting one back onto Blast, so it leaves us still 4 vs 3.

01:02:19.740 --> 01:02:23.940
The Shield's doing great work as well, a minute 10, and they've actually cleared them back to site,

01:02:23.940 --> 01:02:27.440
and got a man advantage really well. This is better from Rebels.

01:02:28.240 --> 01:02:33.940
It is better, though, compared to about the first half, it was about a minute 30 when Rebels have fallen back into the basement.

01:02:33.940 --> 01:02:36.940
So I'm still a bit concerned here about how much time can be wasted

01:02:36.940 --> 01:02:42.220
by the side of shifters once we see rebels start asking the question you've got a what 30% hp

01:02:42.220 --> 01:02:46.700
monty here right now c4 has spoken to a hell of a lot of damage they've got a c4 they've got three

01:02:46.700 --> 01:02:50.380
spokes they've still got a lot of stools i think rebels are going to have to flood and go for kills

01:02:50.380 --> 01:02:53.980
here things they're not really a chance to play a round go for the diffuser i don't think

01:02:54.540 --> 01:02:59.260
35 seconds left to go they definitely need to get moving we see the first of those toxic

01:02:59.260 --> 01:03:03.900
babe canisters come out natural ripped and ready in hand of robbie he's going to send it but

01:03:03.900 --> 01:03:05.980
But there's nobody there waiting to receive it.

01:03:05.980 --> 01:03:08.900
The minute the plant is going out, no, he gets him.

01:03:08.900 --> 01:03:11.020
And that was that prior damage done.

01:03:11.020 --> 01:03:12.500
Even with a little bit of distance

01:03:12.500 --> 01:03:15.100
between the Nitro and the Montage, he gets the job done.

01:03:15.100 --> 01:03:17.860
That's going to find the defuser down on the ground.

01:03:17.860 --> 01:03:18.860
But they've managed to get in.

01:03:18.860 --> 01:03:21.100
Asta's got it in hand and he's going for it again.

01:03:21.100 --> 01:03:22.580
Will secure the plant.

01:03:22.580 --> 01:03:24.100
Kill does come in from P4.

01:03:24.100 --> 01:03:27.180
This is very winnable for shifters from this position.

01:03:27.180 --> 01:03:29.620
But Rebels have managed to relocate.

01:03:29.620 --> 01:03:32.220
They've got themselves back upstairs at least.

01:03:32.220 --> 01:03:37.860
He's going to need to find a kill-up of surely they really thought someone would come and try and play towards open here

01:03:37.860 --> 01:03:41.240
But there's no one actually on that side that the minute they're playing out towards square by the looks of it

01:03:41.240 --> 01:03:45.620
Tim got a force to your players into the retake upstairs perhaps who plays it from this first floor

01:03:45.620 --> 01:03:49.740
But now they've got to find them 11th from what after good for another this one is definitely done

01:03:49.740 --> 01:03:54.460
And this is a good post plan being played out by rebels was very nervous for a second that bottled it

01:03:54.460 --> 01:03:54.660
Tim

01:03:54.660 --> 01:03:59.420
It's been a great job there with the two left alive to finally get themselves over the line and now find

01:03:59.420 --> 01:04:01.420
the game. We saw a lot of

01:04:01.420 --> 01:04:03.420
players in the game. They

01:04:03.420 --> 01:04:05.420
were playing themselves with two

01:04:05.420 --> 01:04:07.420
rounds on the board. Good

01:04:07.420 --> 01:04:08.420
decisive play on that

01:04:08.420 --> 01:04:10.420
diffuser. We saw the nitro

01:04:10.420 --> 01:04:11.420
drop it inside a site as there

01:04:11.420 --> 01:04:13.420
was in there very quickly. Got

01:04:13.420 --> 01:04:14.420
a hold of that after the

01:04:14.420 --> 01:04:16.420
smokes had come down hatch. We

01:04:16.420 --> 01:04:17.420
saw the hatch drop as well.

01:04:17.420 --> 01:04:19.420
Everything snapped into place

01:04:19.420 --> 01:04:20.420
really quickly for rebels to

01:04:20.420 --> 01:04:22.420
say it's gone wrong. Here's

01:04:22.420 --> 01:04:24.420
plan B execute it now, and

01:04:24.420 --> 01:04:25.420
there was no dithering. There

01:04:25.420 --> 01:04:26.420
was no holding back. They

01:04:26.420 --> 01:04:27.420
just all through themselves

01:04:27.420 --> 01:04:28.420
into that next role that

01:04:28.420 --> 01:04:30.420
first defense.

01:04:30.420 --> 01:04:32.420
They were very, very critical one indeed.

01:04:32.420 --> 01:04:34.420
Again, maybe not as clean as what we've seen out of shifts before,

01:04:34.420 --> 01:04:36.420
but they managed to make it work.

01:04:36.420 --> 01:04:38.420
I think where the danger came in, really, for the defenders,

01:04:38.420 --> 01:04:40.420
was the fact that we were able to do this little dance here

01:04:40.420 --> 01:04:42.420
when they were still smoking out the door.

01:04:42.420 --> 01:04:44.420
Knox, they might have opened up that stuff all

01:04:44.420 --> 01:04:46.420
on towards default to try and go for a plant spot there instead.

01:04:46.420 --> 01:04:49.420
And again, it was maybe the also the retake style of it.

01:04:49.420 --> 01:04:52.420
They were expecting more contention inside of open and office,

01:04:52.420 --> 01:04:53.420
but just didn't get it.

01:04:53.420 --> 01:04:55.420
And ultimately, they had some real strap around the square

01:04:55.420 --> 01:04:56.420
to try and recover the ground.

01:04:56.420 --> 01:05:01.840
So the ballplay Bobbock is, definitely gets you just on their toes and trying to figure out exactly what it was they had to do.

01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:06.360
Now I don't think we're going to see that conch change too drastically, like I don't think we're changing it from the Monty here.

01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:12.020
Ooh, okay, so the front of the Monty, Tim, what I worry about is, it gave them a real good advantage of different parts in that round,

01:05:12.020 --> 01:05:14.180
but most importantly, getting map control.

01:05:14.180 --> 01:05:18.280
The entry was timstepping the side of Archive, sniffing around where the players were, pinging them out,

01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:23.500
and then you have players coming in behind him, like the lens, you then got that entry, that second entry of the entire game.

01:05:23.500 --> 01:05:26.200
So I'm a little bit nervous to step away from shields in this round.

01:05:26.200 --> 01:05:28.200
Let's see how it plays out.

01:05:28.200 --> 01:05:30.440
Yeah, Lars and Robbie have got a big job to do up up here.

01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:33.560
The LLM's has brought the Rams, so that just screams straight away.

01:05:33.560 --> 01:05:37.560
They need top floor control if they want to make the most out of that utility that they bring in.

01:05:37.560 --> 01:05:39.560
Plas has got Nitro in hand.

01:05:39.560 --> 01:05:44.200
One of these needs a big game. It goes out, but Katty just throws it a second too soon

01:05:44.200 --> 01:05:47.400
and it catches on that barricade but hadn't been shot out at that point

01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:49.640
and means that Assa was safe.

01:05:49.640 --> 01:05:53.640
They also know now for sure that somebody is up on that top floor.

01:05:53.640 --> 01:05:55.640
Kings are raining out actually as well

01:05:55.640 --> 01:06:02.120
and we're gonna see so much pressure that Robbie is gonna dip himself away and last has as well.

01:06:02.120 --> 01:06:05.640
Top floor has been gained in 45 seconds for Rebels, that's been really good.

01:06:07.160 --> 01:06:10.360
This is not bad so far, however that's more of a reconnaissance by having that early C4,

01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:13.000
there's still two more they've got to play the dance around and when they get inside the map

01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:16.600
they start working their way through as they are now. Well there's a lot of jammers around,

01:06:16.600 --> 01:06:19.960
they're muted, mostly these captives are seemingly everywhere so you don't quite know if they're

01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:23.640
still gonna be a defender somewhere just walking around hoping to capitalize on those flying

01:06:23.640 --> 01:06:24.680
Spots around the map.

01:06:24.680 --> 01:06:26.180
Now take it all off!

01:06:26.180 --> 01:06:28.180
Mainly really here, looking down towards the base.

01:06:28.180 --> 01:06:30.180
We did just have two players down there a second ago.

01:06:30.180 --> 01:06:31.380
In Bobby and Blast.

01:06:31.380 --> 01:06:33.380
He's now worked his way back up a little bit.

01:06:33.380 --> 01:06:34.880
No, no, he's back downstairs again.

01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:36.880
He's playing this happy little dance around for now.

01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:38.880
And that's where I get a little towards going.

01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:40.880
But this deep water is not behind us.

01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:42.880
That has some questions on a K then.

01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:44.880
But maybe inside of the site itself,

01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:46.880
behind him you jump up behind the boss and press.

01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:48.880
Brett just having his opportunity.

01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:50.880
He sees the man and pull him.

01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:52.880
Can't do anything about it.

01:06:52.880 --> 01:07:02.880
he's been flushed into danger, Feno was there waiting with open arms and he gives him a little squeeze as he sees him, takes him out of the round five versus four.

01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:12.880
Asa has taken some damage up there, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem for him. I like this from Rebels, but again, we asked the question of time last time around.

01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:18.880
I'm going to ask the same question again this time. Will it be an issue for them? They've got last underneath of them in it.

01:07:18.880 --> 01:07:24.640
He's got to be looking for that blue stairs push that little flank at the end because he's got no natural in hand at the minute

01:07:24.640 --> 01:07:31.440
Can't do anything from down there and Marta closes him out and takes him down rebels are looking like a different team on the attack

01:07:32.560 --> 01:07:35.120
Looking ironically like shifters did to a degree as well

01:07:35.120 --> 01:07:40.360
Well, they've been very very good at forcing these players these solo players on the side of shifters into to the ones

01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.440
Overwhelming them with Intel and then capitalizing off the back of it

01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:48.860
And that's what I think we should try and deny in this round with the new Adam Mosley obviously hasn't really worked out for them

01:07:48.860 --> 01:07:54.000
But we're at the last 20 seconds Tim now it's time to drop it over the execute. And here it goes the utility

01:07:54.000 --> 01:08:01.680
We see the Grim beans going in we see the Capitao doing the job on the angles to try and create space for the diffuser to go down

01:08:01.680 --> 01:08:05.180
It has to take some damage, but not enough he sticks it

01:08:05.180 --> 01:08:11.600
I love that from him P4 cannot get there quickly enough four versus one now as it's Robbie on the fight back

01:08:11.600 --> 01:08:16.600
the man in the back. One B4

01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:17.600
becomes a one B3 after he finds

01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:19.600
Fennel tries to get his way back

01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.600
into site sees the man knows

01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:22.600
that there is one across on the

01:08:22.600 --> 01:08:24.600
opposite side of cafeteria, but

01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:25.600
can do nothing about it at the

01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:27.600
minute cannot find an angle is

01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:29.600
fighting instead with the man

01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:31.600
inside of our cards cut down

01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:33.600
by a lens from that copy

01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:35.600
window and that is another

01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:36.600
good round from rebels. And if

01:08:36.600 --> 01:08:37.600
you're a shifters fan, you

01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:38.600
start looking a little bit

01:08:38.600 --> 01:08:39.600
worried at this now. The

01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:45.600
where is it that shifters will be able to find their bastion and get this over the line?

01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.600
Again to me, it just really comes back to what I said at the turn of the half is,

01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:52.600
you literally are seeing two very different halves of each year.

01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:54.600
One where Rebels are completely imploded.

01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:58.600
As the guys in the desk were saying that Martyr was having a meltdown inside of the chat

01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:01.600
by the sounds of his team and really morale was at an all-time low.

01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.600
We've gone to the second half and I wouldn't say spirits are high,

01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:07.600
but crowns look relatively convincing.

01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:10.760
What I will say, Shifters are being quite active in playing it, mind you.

01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:15.600
I think they're not really kind of someone just getting there and waiting to get 2v1'd or get droned out and flipped out by someone.

01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:22.000
They're trying these little cheeky suits for us. They're trying to play for inside of the base, but they're doing these little odd jobs that at some point I think will pay off.

01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:26.000
If Rebels slip up for even a second, that's when Shifters will be able to gain the edge.

01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:30.700
So I still kind of say it's not as like, this side is just pretty sore as compared to about the first half.

01:09:30.700 --> 01:09:34.600
It's closer than that, and I think Shifters will find a round at some point across the next couple.

01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:58.600
I didn't see enough there to lock in and call this a mistake, but I am interested and I look back after the game as to just what happened with Assa planting there because it appeared that P4 on the bandit could maybe see me taking a lot of damage and there was a lot of stuff going on at once and this is why I'm not sort of clean calling it as a mistake.

01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:03.400
I think it was being challenged from other places as well and just because he downs the partner

01:10:03.400 --> 01:10:06.040
It doesn't mean that the round would have gone differently necessarily

01:10:06.040 --> 01:10:11.800
But it was like literally one bullet he could have he could have sneezed on on aster and it would have got the kill

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:16.020
And it appeared on the free camp that we just thought the end

01:10:16.860 --> 01:10:20.520
The he kind of asses in behind the smoke and and people

01:10:21.360 --> 01:10:26.580
Behind him and there's many things he could literally be in his scope and he could be hidden by the housing of the scope

01:10:26.580 --> 01:10:28.820
You know, there's many things that could be going on there.

01:10:28.820 --> 01:10:30.820
I don't know that it was people doing the damage to him,

01:10:30.820 --> 01:10:32.500
but I'll be interested to watch that back

01:10:32.500 --> 01:10:34.900
because I think shifters have got really unlucky there

01:10:34.900 --> 01:10:37.060
because there was an opportunity, definitely,

01:10:37.060 --> 01:10:38.420
to pass it down on the ground.

01:10:38.420 --> 01:10:40.580
But continuing on, we're in round nine.

01:10:40.580 --> 01:10:44.100
We're going to see shifters going down to the bottom floor again,

01:10:44.100 --> 01:10:46.020
completely avoiding that top floor for now.

01:10:46.020 --> 01:10:47.860
Interesting, they've chosen to come back to a start

01:10:47.860 --> 01:10:50.100
that they struggled to win last time around.

01:10:50.100 --> 01:10:53.220
They have not committed to the rest of the map as heavily

01:10:53.220 --> 01:10:54.100
as they did last time.

01:10:54.100 --> 01:10:59.780
I said in round seven there were five one-up absolutely fine throws from there in the map see what happens

01:10:59.780 --> 01:11:02.620
Well, they saw what happened. They lost it this time

01:11:02.620 --> 01:11:05.020
They're going for a little bit more of a turtle strategy

01:11:05.020 --> 01:11:08.780
Trampon time to burrow causes many problems as they can

01:11:11.660 --> 01:11:17.500
Causing problems into a level wasting time right they really want to play the stall here and I've got the smoke on side

01:11:17.500 --> 01:11:20.260
They have C4s once again quite physically to grow out

01:11:20.260 --> 01:11:22.500
which you've already observed, and then also Goyo.

01:11:22.500 --> 01:11:23.780
But the big difference to me in this round,

01:11:23.780 --> 01:11:25.900
Tim, is how fast Red Bull's actually got inside the building.

01:11:25.900 --> 01:11:28.220
They have not got a Monty, leaving them in.

01:11:28.220 --> 01:11:29.780
They can afford to go that little bit quicker.

01:11:29.780 --> 01:11:31.580
Marto's already dropped into wall space for years,

01:11:31.580 --> 01:11:33.020
already trying to ask questions.

01:11:33.020 --> 01:11:34.100
This is looking really interesting.

01:11:34.100 --> 01:11:35.380
Now, if he gets a kill inside the vault,

01:11:35.380 --> 01:11:37.620
suddenly a lot of gold starts to become very explosive.

01:11:37.620 --> 01:11:38.460
Here we go.

01:11:38.460 --> 01:11:39.460
Oh, he's trying to do his best, Tim,

01:11:39.460 --> 01:11:41.020
but Freck has hit the deck and turned around

01:11:41.020 --> 01:11:42.020
and got a freebie.

01:11:42.020 --> 01:11:43.500
The glass falls because he's gone

01:11:43.500 --> 01:11:44.820
a little bit too far ahead, Tim,

01:11:44.820 --> 01:11:45.940
because look at everyone else.

01:11:45.940 --> 01:11:46.780
They're upstairs.

01:11:46.780 --> 01:11:47.620
They're on drones.

01:11:47.620 --> 01:11:48.460
They're holding angles.

01:11:48.460 --> 01:11:49.620
Yet he's tried to basically pull up

01:11:49.620 --> 01:11:54.660
I do get that small on the way that's the guy you're taking down because the

01:11:54.660 --> 01:11:58.980
Balkan canisters will be in play so it doesn't really matter. Robbie is getting

01:11:58.980 --> 01:12:02.580
tracked by the game-offs at the minute so he knows that was beautiful team work

01:12:02.580 --> 01:12:06.020
from shifters there that's like kind of the unseen team work we'll come back to

01:12:06.020 --> 01:12:09.580
that. Freckin' Blaz managed to get one a piece after the latest taking down

01:12:09.580 --> 01:12:13.700
Feno does get the trade, hits him with the F2 but they are now caught in

01:12:13.700 --> 01:12:16.980
No Man's Land. Robbie with one, Blaz picked up the Nitro kill and that

01:12:16.980 --> 01:12:20.780
the back closes out the round,

01:12:20.780 --> 01:12:22.580
but I love what I saw from

01:12:22.580 --> 01:12:24.180
shifters there. So you've got

01:12:24.180 --> 01:12:25.780
Robbie deep in garage down by

01:12:25.780 --> 01:12:26.980
the big fan and he's just

01:12:26.980 --> 01:12:28.580
hanging around because he's got

01:12:28.580 --> 01:12:29.780
that day. Most rock track on him,

01:12:29.780 --> 01:12:31.180
but it doesn't matter because

01:12:31.180 --> 01:12:32.780
he can see that day. Most is on

01:12:32.780 --> 01:12:34.180
marble and he's calling that out.

01:12:34.180 --> 01:12:35.780
He's calling that out. And

01:12:35.780 --> 01:12:37.180
they've got across fire through

01:12:37.180 --> 01:12:38.780
the door from vault and all

01:12:38.780 --> 01:12:40.180
that comes because the class

01:12:40.180 --> 01:12:42.180
Marto was unable to get that

01:12:42.180 --> 01:12:43.780
first kill. It didn't clear

01:12:43.780 --> 01:12:45.180
out vault so then vault can

01:12:45.180 --> 01:12:48.860
and all of a sudden, shifters are in a serious advantage there.

01:12:48.860 --> 01:12:50.820
Beautiful teamwork, beautiful crossfire.

01:12:50.820 --> 01:12:52.820
They put themselves on to map point.

01:12:54.180 --> 01:12:55.660
We're doing our final couple of bands coming out.

01:12:55.660 --> 01:12:58.020
It's going to be Mira and the doccan being taken away,

01:12:58.020 --> 01:13:02.060
which has been a bit of a mainstay, I'll say so far, for the attackers.

01:13:02.060 --> 01:13:03.780
It's in two of the three rounds that we've played on,

01:13:03.780 --> 01:13:06.780
just not that previous one in which the defenders, of course, came out on top.

01:13:06.780 --> 01:13:08.460
So maybe that's the way we've formulated them, and they've realised,

01:13:08.460 --> 01:13:10.140
oh, we can be a little bit cheeky here.

01:13:10.140 --> 01:13:11.180
We can afford the place time.

01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:13.260
We can play out around the map a little bit more if we want to.

01:13:13.260 --> 01:13:16.700
He can hold, but they can't always get a full read on to exactly where we are.

01:13:16.700 --> 01:13:19.420
So the doctor we've been taking away is a crucial one.

01:13:19.420 --> 01:13:21.820
But for me, the main thing that happened in that last round, like I mentioned,

01:13:21.820 --> 01:13:25.100
was Marta was the guy playing the backstop down Elevates.

01:13:25.100 --> 01:13:27.740
He went so far ahead of everybody else.

01:13:27.740 --> 01:13:30.780
They've sat on drones upstairs, still they weren't looking to lose,

01:13:30.780 --> 01:13:33.100
trying to make an execute happen or go for the drop.

01:13:33.100 --> 01:13:36.460
Just felt very, very de-signorized from the rest of his team.

01:13:36.460 --> 01:13:45.600
We could be, we could be in our final round here, at round 10, Rebels have got to be right

01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:50.060
here every single time now, they've got to get this gun and interest, the shifters have

01:13:50.060 --> 01:13:54.540
chosen this point to bring themselves up by the top floor, so Rebels are going to have

01:13:54.540 --> 01:13:59.140
to go up against the defence that they haven't seen as of yet, just looking at the line

01:13:59.140 --> 01:14:03.340
up that we've got, we've got a little bit of a shift in some of those operators,

01:14:03.340 --> 01:14:09.700
We've got the L a brought along can be powerful when dealing with the shields, but also kind of area denial

01:14:09.700 --> 01:14:13.340
We do see now more of a style from the propers and you see in it here

01:14:13.340 --> 01:14:18.260
But the good spot lines are kind of kept in pocket and are used as a more kind of active

01:14:18.740 --> 01:14:24.780
Gadget rather than kind of a place and forget this risk involved in that if you lose the L a really in the round

01:14:24.780 --> 01:14:26.500
You're losing that utility with her

01:14:26.500 --> 01:14:32.260
But it means that last more can be a little bit more adaptive there a little bit more flexible depending on where this

01:14:32.260 --> 01:14:34.260
you know, if they found themselves

01:14:34.260 --> 01:14:36.260
fronted up by a shield, which they

01:14:36.260 --> 01:14:38.260
don't know until they get into the

01:14:38.260 --> 01:14:40.260
round, something like that, then they

01:14:40.260 --> 01:14:42.260
can adjust and get that gadget over

01:14:42.260 --> 01:14:44.260
there where it is most useful.

01:14:44.260 --> 01:14:46.260
Alright, well let's take a look at what

01:14:46.260 --> 01:14:48.260
the folks are going to be here on the

01:14:48.260 --> 01:14:50.260
attacking side. As you've seen already,

01:14:50.260 --> 01:14:52.260
we've had those florae stones rolling

01:14:52.260 --> 01:14:54.260
on through, taking out soft wall,

01:14:54.260 --> 01:14:56.260
giving them a route directly into

01:14:56.260 --> 01:14:58.260
wall sides itself. We've got a couple

01:14:58.260 --> 01:15:00.260
dancing around on plas ready to play

01:15:00.260 --> 01:15:03.140
piece coming together they need here someone's pushing towards square or

01:15:03.140 --> 01:15:06.620
potentially towards and towards stock got a couple of kids play on windows

01:15:06.620 --> 01:15:09.260
they've got they've got the space control they need right now inside the

01:15:09.260 --> 01:15:14.020
only second as we saw we had shifters attacking here who's big folks are making

01:15:14.020 --> 01:15:17.120
sure they have control of them by opening it up with the ace so watch

01:15:17.120 --> 01:15:20.260
where the salmons go for some me that's the big read first one by in fact

01:15:20.260 --> 01:15:23.940
two here have gone inside a stock now that's interesting that means we're

01:15:23.940 --> 01:15:26.680
going to get full coverage into war chance for itself but they will get

01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:28.680
Right? We're really going to

01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:30.680
get into the game. And it's

01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:32.680
really going to be an awful

01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:33.680
looking straightaway into

01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:36.680
wall white corridor itself. Yeah

01:15:36.680 --> 01:15:37.680
I think that's fine. Um I think

01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:39.680
getting that spot position Yeah,

01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:40.680
I think getting that spot

01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:42.680
position clear is very

01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:43.680
important. I think one whole

01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:45.680
in janitor. You can live with

01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:47.680
rather than having the whole

01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:48.680
wall open, but like you said,

01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:50.680
we'll see, you know, as that

01:15:50.680 --> 01:15:52.680
develops through the route,

01:15:52.680 --> 01:15:53.680
whether it was proved to be

01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:55.680
problematic or not. Now then

01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:58.620
One takes down a lems, can't find the second though.

01:15:58.620 --> 01:16:02.920
Feno really could have done with being in position to prevent them losing the man on the window

01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:06.120
because that last Selma charge has gone within days.

01:16:07.320 --> 01:16:10.080
One thing in part that really missed the sim was the player to open up the double wall

01:16:10.080 --> 01:16:11.480
and watch that kind of thing from happening.

01:16:11.480 --> 01:16:13.560
That's what left break, get inside and get a freebie.

01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:15.200
They've traded it out, it's got the end of the world

01:16:15.200 --> 01:16:16.880
but this is now only a really scrappy

01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:18.560
because they haven't got full control of Hallway.

01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:21.160
It's quite having the operator available to make it happen.

01:16:21.160 --> 01:16:23.440
Shifters are going to sit and play behind Utility behind there,

01:16:23.440 --> 01:16:27.880
Traps behind the Intel coming out from the Valkyr and potentially see this one done and over the line.

01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:30.920
Two players left, otherwise Mat 1 only goes certain weight in.

01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:33.640
It's a 1v3 for none other than Mato.

01:16:34.240 --> 01:16:38.480
He's got to do it now. Put his team on his back and get him through this round and keep them back.

01:16:38.480 --> 01:16:42.360
If 1v3 becomes 1v2, can he find the man on the long angle?

01:16:42.360 --> 01:16:47.720
No, not yet. They know where the push is coming from and Robbie, he just glides to the side.

01:16:47.720 --> 01:16:53.720
Shuts his man down and causes outmatch one, that is bank going to shift us 7-3.

01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:59.720
Very dominant if you fare, Tim. A couple of rounds during that second half where Rebels just show a sign of life, I think on the attack.

01:16:59.720 --> 01:17:06.720
But those last two, just a little bit limp as they're in that last one especially, I think they were missing a very, very crucial part of it.

01:17:06.720 --> 01:17:10.720
Definitely worth to do before we get into match two. Let's find out what happens after a short break.

01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:19.720
I

01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:49.720
I

01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:19.720
I

01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:27.120
They finish off well what they started and it's down to two players in particular that

01:22:27.120 --> 01:22:28.440
we're seeing actually popping off.

01:22:28.440 --> 01:22:32.000
We mentioned one, the halftime show, but Robbie also really stepped up.

01:22:32.000 --> 01:22:33.000
Yeah, absolutely.

01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:34.000
It was both Frank and Robbie.

01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:36.000
They both stepped up phenomenally.

01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:39.200
It feels like a question ages all the time.

01:22:39.200 --> 01:22:40.840
Who's going to step up alongside Frank?

01:22:40.840 --> 01:22:41.840
That was Robbie.

01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:44.840
And I think both of us are really happy with the way P4 was thrown in, as you can

01:22:44.840 --> 01:22:47.640
with the animation to enable these guys as well,

01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:49.840
felt a very complete ownership as well.

01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:55.540
For me, exactly, it is the execution based on the enablers, right?

01:22:55.540 --> 01:22:59.840
Either A, the Intel gathering by P4, and their reaction,

01:22:59.840 --> 01:23:02.140
and the fact that they do it so well together,

01:23:02.140 --> 01:23:04.340
and then there's the overall plan, the game plan.

01:23:04.340 --> 01:23:06.140
Look at Frequence playing on Glass, for example.

01:23:06.140 --> 01:23:08.640
It's a utility-based operator, he's not there as an entry,

01:23:08.640 --> 01:23:10.640
he does not miss though, he covers everything,

01:23:10.640 --> 01:23:13.540
he gets the kills that he needs, both of them on double digits.

01:23:13.540 --> 01:23:17.380
It's a good work on the entry, but on top of that, on the utility gain as well.

01:23:17.380 --> 01:23:20.580
Is our general belief, I think, really sick play for shifters to go far,

01:23:20.580 --> 01:23:24.420
for them to go to international events, for them to compete at those international events?

01:23:24.420 --> 01:23:26.580
These are the two that really need to be on the song.

01:23:26.580 --> 01:23:30.260
And I think there's one last thing that I love with Blaz integration, is Blaz is talkative.

01:23:30.260 --> 01:23:31.460
Blaz has shot. Yes.

01:23:31.460 --> 01:23:35.700
He brings value to the table because that roster before, I think, lacked a bit of voices.

01:23:35.700 --> 01:23:37.860
Before I had to carry a lot when the voice comes.

01:23:37.860 --> 01:23:42.420
I think another voice on top of Frank that can shot call, like Blaz, is perfect.

01:23:42.420 --> 01:23:47.380
frag on the entry line, blast in the middle, and end before the way to end. Perfect! In every step of

01:23:47.380 --> 01:23:51.860
the round, you've got someone I can talk. Yeah, we'll keep it short here because as we hear a lot

01:23:51.860 --> 01:23:55.620
of positive things from the talking inside of shifters, there's some worrying things that

01:23:55.620 --> 01:23:59.300
we're hearing on the side of Rebels. We'll talk about that and how they should set them up

01:23:59.300 --> 01:24:01.300
for the second map after the break.

01:27:29.300 --> 01:27:36.300
I think we're going to have

01:27:36.300 --> 01:27:45.300
a lot of fun with that.

01:27:45.300 --> 01:27:49.300
Before we go into that, we want to highlight once again our IGLs, right?

01:27:49.300 --> 01:27:52.300
In the post, we hired another P4 positively.

01:27:52.300 --> 01:27:55.300
We want to talk about Marto as well because there are some concerns right there.

01:27:55.300 --> 01:27:56.300
Yeah, concerns.

01:27:56.300 --> 01:28:00.200
I'm not sure if you're going to

01:28:00.300 --> 01:28:02.300
be able to see that, but I'm

01:28:02.400 --> 01:28:04.300
especially disappointed he had a

01:28:04.400 --> 01:28:06.300
bit of a generational crash out

01:28:06.400 --> 01:28:08.300
as we've highlighted on the

01:28:08.400 --> 01:28:09.300
graphic there. Um didn't play

01:28:09.400 --> 01:28:10.300
well, particularly himself in

01:28:10.400 --> 01:28:12.300
terms of the stats as well. But

01:28:12.400 --> 01:28:13.300
that shouldn't matter for Nigel

01:28:13.400 --> 01:28:14.300
for Nigel. If you're you know,

01:28:14.400 --> 01:28:16.300
I gel is in game leader leader

01:28:16.400 --> 01:28:18.300
being the big word that you

01:28:18.400 --> 01:28:19.300
have to leave your team around

01:28:19.400 --> 01:28:20.300
now. Crash out is necessary.

01:28:20.400 --> 01:28:21.300
We've seen fuzzy and crash

01:28:21.400 --> 01:28:23.300
out time and time again, but

01:28:23.400 --> 01:28:24.300
in the right way. Um and

01:28:24.400 --> 01:28:25.300
I've actually got a clip

01:28:25.300 --> 01:28:28.340
I'm wondering how does an IGL do well, hiding as Mitchell?

01:28:28.340 --> 01:28:30.860
Here, this round, critical rounds for Rebels.

01:28:30.860 --> 01:28:33.180
They win it, they're back in, four, five, they can go for it.

01:28:33.180 --> 01:28:34.500
Makes it here of play.

01:28:34.500 --> 01:28:36.620
Completely on his own in a five versus five.

01:28:36.620 --> 01:28:37.900
Look at where that's with team one.

01:28:37.900 --> 01:28:40.860
Upstairs, on his own, so detached.

01:28:40.860 --> 01:28:43.300
I really worry that Matso as an IGL

01:28:43.300 --> 01:28:45.060
is not leading this team also.

01:28:45.060 --> 01:28:46.020
I think the main thing to me

01:28:46.020 --> 01:28:47.580
is that whenever we see Spiricam

01:28:47.580 --> 01:28:50.340
and we see how much he seems to be yelling,

01:28:50.340 --> 01:28:52.540
the problem is when you do it so much,

01:28:52.540 --> 01:28:53.700
at some point he loses value.

01:28:53.700 --> 01:28:57.300
You can have one crush out from time to time, every three months maybe, because it matters,

01:28:57.300 --> 01:28:58.300
right?

01:28:58.300 --> 01:29:01.260
But when you do that every single round, everyone loses faith in you.

01:29:01.260 --> 01:29:03.100
And the problem is, it affects other players.

01:29:03.100 --> 01:29:07.340
If you think of a player like Linko, for example, a player that is supposed to be the Hyped

01:29:07.340 --> 01:29:11.420
Man, supposed to be someone that's a bit jovial, that's bringing the jokes, that's known

01:29:11.420 --> 01:29:12.920
to trash talk a little bit.

01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:15.460
When you have someone on your team that's so negative in the comps, that impacts

01:29:15.460 --> 01:29:17.420
very much players that are emotional.

01:29:17.420 --> 01:29:20.140
I look at the result from Linko from the first map, he's 1-9.

01:29:20.140 --> 01:29:21.700
I'm not saying that's the fault of Mato.

01:29:21.700 --> 01:29:26.180
I'm just saying that when an IGL goes crazy like this and it goes heavy on his teammates,

01:29:26.180 --> 01:29:29.180
you're crushing the self confidence of your player.

01:29:29.180 --> 01:29:32.980
And you can see it in the statistics right now, because it does not come back from it.

01:29:32.980 --> 01:29:37.980
It can have that kind of opposite effect where you want your IGL to inspire and enable those players,

01:29:37.980 --> 01:29:41.820
but if they feel like they're under a lot of pressure because the guys are crashing out in 24-7,

01:29:41.820 --> 01:29:45.980
then they get timid, they get scared, they start second guessing, and you can get performances like that.

01:29:45.980 --> 01:29:49.180
So knowing that, going into map 2, do you think it's going to be a 2-0?

01:29:49.180 --> 01:29:50.380
is this over soon? Or is there

01:29:50.380 --> 01:29:51.620
a chance for them to get their

01:29:51.620 --> 01:29:53.060
fresh air and get back in?

01:29:53.060 --> 01:29:53.980
It would have to be a huge

01:29:53.980 --> 01:29:54.860
turnaround. It would have to be

01:29:54.860 --> 01:29:56.120
a huge turnaround and a complete

01:29:56.120 --> 01:29:57.060
mental reset. I think that's

01:29:57.060 --> 01:29:57.660
the same to what I was saying.

01:29:57.660 --> 01:29:58.820
It's the mental theme. So it's

01:29:58.820 --> 01:29:59.920
completely gone from Rumbles

01:29:59.920 --> 01:30:01.460
inside that game. They need to

01:30:01.460 --> 01:30:02.500
turn that back around and

01:30:02.500 --> 01:30:04.100
build into it. Is that my pick?

01:30:04.100 --> 01:30:05.360
So, you know, maybe there is

01:30:05.360 --> 01:30:06.340
something in that. Yeah, that

01:30:06.340 --> 01:30:07.140
is true. That's the kind of

01:30:07.140 --> 01:30:08.040
comfort that they have

01:30:08.040 --> 01:30:08.900
inside this match. They

01:30:08.900 --> 01:30:10.400
already made secrets on this

01:30:10.400 --> 01:30:12.240
map. But then again, future

01:30:12.240 --> 01:30:13.640
or best results rather don't

01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:15.180
guarantee anything for the

01:30:15.180 --> 01:30:16.280
future. We'll see how this

01:30:16.280 --> 01:30:19.960
doesn't fall to him after you.

01:30:19.960 --> 01:30:21.620
And even Will-Anne, thank you very much.

01:30:21.620 --> 01:30:24.040
Into cafe, we go sim.

01:30:24.040 --> 01:30:28.560
Now, I ain't saying that I need to repeal my former words,

01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:30.920
sim, but you could be looking at one of the top four teams

01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:33.680
right now.

01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:35.640
I'm not getting carried away, this.

01:30:35.640 --> 01:30:36.480
I'm not getting carried away.

01:30:36.480 --> 01:30:37.800
Oh, I do.

01:30:37.800 --> 01:30:39.440
You weren't getting carried away last week either, then,

01:30:39.440 --> 01:30:40.040
no?

01:30:40.040 --> 01:30:41.560
No, I'll just wait until they are.

01:30:41.560 --> 01:30:43.000
I'll just wait until they are,

01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:45.600
and then I'll say, oh, look, I was correct.

01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:49.600
was incorrect and we'll just leave it at that no more will be said about it.

01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:53.600
Yeah that sounds like a great deal to me. That sounds like a great deal to me.

01:30:53.600 --> 01:30:57.600
If we get to that point you've heard the Death Star speak about things that we were speaking about

01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:01.600
on the cast itself in terms of Marcel's crash outs being quite alone at times

01:31:01.600 --> 01:31:05.600
and also in terms of the gameplay it was very dominant coming out of the side of shifters.

01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:10.600
My smoke worry now is that the going bronzer cafe one of the more dependant maps we have in the game

01:31:10.600 --> 01:31:13.600
and look he starts on defense team, it's shifters.

01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:17.600
to rebels and really going to have to put a shift in.

01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:19.600
Yeah, that's one moving.

01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:24.600
I can't believe I've never made that joke before.

01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:27.600
Well, you know, you've got to keep some of the good ones, haven't you?

01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:30.600
Well, I just thought of it just then, as I was saying in the sense, and I was like,

01:31:30.600 --> 01:31:31.600
hang on a minute.

01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:33.600
This is genius.

01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:36.600
Well, you're playing a bit fast and hoax with the word genius there.

01:31:36.600 --> 01:31:39.600
Genius in that joke territory is genius.

01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:45.240
I think it's fair to say, uh,

01:31:45.240 --> 01:31:49.600
Freck being top of the pops so

01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:53.600
far coming out 14 and six four

01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:56.600
and two on entry 80% cost. Do

01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:57.600
I need to go on? He's done a

01:31:57.600 --> 01:31:59.600
fantastic job so far. Shifters

01:31:59.600 --> 01:32:00.600
are going to be looking for

01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:02.600
more of the same. And I think

01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:04.600
it's worth mentioning before.

01:32:04.600 --> 01:32:06.600
I'm going to say numbers

01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:11.760
It's worth mentioning before I'm gonna say numbers that you know, they're not gonna like the world on fire

01:32:11.760 --> 01:32:15.760
But the point is that contribution level that even as an iron

01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:23.460
Just need to see that little bit more doesn't need to be a lot better six and seven solid 80% cost

01:32:25.100 --> 01:32:27.260
You know he's involved in those rounds

01:32:27.260 --> 01:32:33.700
He's surviving where he needs to and he's is helping the team as as Leo pointed out with a lot of

01:32:33.700 --> 01:32:40.200
The cronin is doing a lot of things, facilitating the other players, so hopefully we'll see that continue from here as well.

01:32:40.200 --> 01:32:44.580
On the side of Rebels, we're going to need some change, we're going to need some improvement.

01:32:44.580 --> 01:32:52.780
Feno was the man to watch on Bank 10 and 9 overall, so a little bit off the pace in terms of what we saw from Shifters.

01:32:52.780 --> 01:32:59.540
And Rebels, it feels like they just need someone to, whether it be Mato or somebody else, to really leave from the front here.

01:32:59.540 --> 01:33:02.540
Grab the game, buy the scruff of the neck, have a couple of big rounds,

01:33:02.540 --> 01:33:06.220
And just, you know, giving that opportunity to think,

01:33:06.220 --> 01:33:09.540
this one's not over, we're in this, we're in it.

01:33:10.980 --> 01:33:14.780
First thing that makes me a bit nervous too is about the complete lack of half-reach.

01:33:14.780 --> 01:33:16.380
It's completely lack.

01:33:16.380 --> 01:33:18.700
They've got half-reach gadgets on side, yeah, but look again.

01:33:18.700 --> 01:33:20.540
This is the thing about shifters, same as on the last part,

01:33:20.540 --> 01:33:24.100
there is always another gun pointed the way of any rebels pilot shoot.

01:33:24.100 --> 01:33:26.500
They've always got an idea in mind, which is always great to see.

01:33:26.500 --> 01:33:30.260
Try Rebels or Kit, get figured out, and it's a good response from last part.

01:33:30.260 --> 01:33:38.220
a rebels okay they've just lost Marta underneath they've got linker just just

01:33:38.220 --> 01:33:44.300
walking in through long barred I'll see what I can find and he finds nothing

01:33:44.300 --> 01:33:48.820
very very quickly I don't hate that though because I think that's a risk

01:33:48.820 --> 01:33:51.500
versus reward player that he's taken that oh we think there's a gap here I'm

01:33:51.500 --> 01:33:54.260
gonna step in and try and get this player free just so happens he's

01:33:54.260 --> 01:33:56.540
missed crucial shot on towards the cocktail player let's not forget

01:33:56.540 --> 01:34:00.960
the exact same play on Monday kills a cocktail player, it's failed, it's been under the storage

01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:05.000
player, gets a double kill, the round is won there. Because that gets him to spell, he

01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.840
looks a bit silly for it, but he didn't have as much information on what was going on and

01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:13.320
then they weren't under as much pressure elsewhere, 100% agree with that, but it's cost him

01:34:13.320 --> 01:34:14.320
still.

01:34:14.320 --> 01:34:17.280
Yeah, the problem I've got there is that he dies either way, there's a player in

01:34:17.280 --> 01:34:22.200
freezer, it just, I feel like there's a lack of intel at the minute and that's

01:34:22.200 --> 01:34:27.160
why they lost, you know, Marto to the refrag to blast underneath, to blast underneath as well.

01:34:28.200 --> 01:34:32.280
So that was more my criticism that they're just basically walking into a problem,

01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:37.400
much like they've just, you know, pushed up there into a long angle. It just feels like they don't

01:34:37.400 --> 01:34:42.840
have a clear picture ahead of them in that round as to where everybody is. Like I say,

01:34:42.840 --> 01:34:47.480
you know, walking into a crossfire, getting the kill on to the solace underneath, but

01:34:47.480 --> 01:34:51.640
they're not being aware that

01:34:51.640 --> 01:34:53.480
Lazarus there for the refrag.

01:34:53.480 --> 01:34:54.580
Just yeah, little errors again

01:34:54.580 --> 01:34:55.480
for rebels, but it's just

01:34:55.480 --> 01:34:56.480
cost them the opening round, and

01:34:56.480 --> 01:34:57.480
that's the worst thing that

01:34:57.480 --> 01:34:59.480
could have happened. Losing

01:34:59.480 --> 01:35:01.480
that first round is bad news

01:35:01.480 --> 01:35:03.480
for rebels very ironically,

01:35:03.480 --> 01:35:04.480
they've actually kind of hurt

01:35:04.480 --> 01:35:05.480
themselves with that. Also

01:35:05.480 --> 01:35:06.480
quite couchwalk into the

01:35:06.480 --> 01:35:07.480
middle of bar. They've hurt

01:35:07.480 --> 01:35:08.480
themselves by banning away

01:35:08.480 --> 01:35:09.480
the mirror because if you

01:35:09.480 --> 01:35:10.480
look at the exact same

01:35:10.480 --> 01:35:11.480
situation two days ago, like

01:35:11.480 --> 01:35:12.480
I said here, that mirror

01:35:12.480 --> 01:35:13.480
was being distracted by

01:35:13.480 --> 01:35:14.480
player. This was when

01:35:14.480 --> 01:35:15.480
Croxton made the same

01:35:15.480 --> 01:35:18.840
for stories into War's piano because it's a player fresh from Windows and they knew they had to keep

01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:23.000
their eye on it. That's what Lekros and Crouch walk in, kill the cocktail player, then spin straight

01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:27.320
under the mirror inside a storage and kill them. Here, there's nothing really pinning that storage

01:35:27.320 --> 01:35:30.520
player to have to watch inside piano. They can't peek it because they've already died to the

01:35:30.520 --> 01:35:35.080
Windows. They've got no other choice but to sit and watch bar. So, very ironically, Rebels'

01:35:35.080 --> 01:35:39.560
own band choice kind of led to that failing. Very, very interesting. But I think larger

01:35:39.560 --> 01:35:42.200
than that, again, let's come back to what we heard the guys speak about in the desk,

01:35:42.200 --> 01:35:44.280
That's what we spoke about in our last map.

01:35:44.280 --> 01:35:46.440
It's Mato again going a little bit solo,

01:35:46.440 --> 01:35:48.600
Bola there walking his way down red and towards side,

01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:49.760
thinking guys, it's okay.

01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:51.400
I've walked in, I've killed everyone.

01:35:51.400 --> 01:35:53.440
At least that's what he wants to be able to say to them,

01:35:53.440 --> 01:35:55.400
but he gets the kill and immediately gets traded.

01:35:55.400 --> 01:35:57.280
Almost identical to the glass on bank basement

01:35:57.280 --> 01:35:58.440
last time around where he walked in,

01:35:58.440 --> 01:36:00.440
didn't get a kill and died anyway.

01:36:01.480 --> 01:36:02.880
Back to them.

01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:04.600
We're gonna have Mato bringing along the Blitz.

01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:07.440
I do like to see Linko on the solid snake.

01:36:07.440 --> 01:36:08.800
That's the way we can push Buster by himself.

01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:10.640
That's all it is.

01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:11.640
What have I done?

01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:12.640
You know what I'm saying?

01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:13.640
Yeah, with him, yeah.

01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:14.640
There's no drone at his feet.

01:36:14.640 --> 01:36:15.640
There's nothing.

01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:16.640
He's just going for it by himself.

01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:17.640
I was thinking about it.

01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:18.640
He might be right.

01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:19.640
This is what I wanted to see.

01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:21.640
So I criticized the Intel last time around.

01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:24.960
They walked into several situations where it felt like they didn't have a full appraisal

01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:27.640
of what they were going into and they lost lives because of it.

01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:29.640
Bringing along the solid snake, great idea.

01:36:29.640 --> 01:36:32.880
He's going to really help that player and see if he can do that solo or just

01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:33.880
be using that scam out.

01:36:33.880 --> 01:36:37.240
It's going to give him the Intel and it can take over a large area of the

01:36:37.240 --> 01:36:39.640
map quickly and that is exactly what we've done.

01:36:39.640 --> 01:36:43.920
So I actually think from Rebels, looking for the positives, that's a really smart pick there.

01:36:43.920 --> 01:36:48.320
And to switch it up and to bring the solid to make it long, I think that really helps them this way.

01:36:49.040 --> 01:36:51.480
Alright Mr Positive, you'll find your way, you'll find your way.

01:36:52.200 --> 01:36:54.320
Asking questions though down there at the very, very least.

01:36:54.840 --> 01:36:57.080
There's still a lot of utility they've got to work their way through.

01:36:57.080 --> 01:36:59.520
And last time around they did really bring a solution to the tie-in.

01:36:59.520 --> 01:37:02.640
At least they've got a batch of, but that's not the reason they brought it so long I think.

01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:04.400
Because then they've not really got too much to open up.

01:37:04.400 --> 01:37:07.240
All of the more focus on the hatch itself, like this, and there we go.

01:37:07.240 --> 01:37:09.880
So I'm going to worry about things like Bakery will be in lots of time.

01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:11.680
Normally it is obviously kept slightly open, but look at that.

01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:13.920
She's both in the election clause, both stay a little way,

01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.040
and that guarantees our hatch is open.

01:37:17.840 --> 01:37:21.480
So at least that one, they need to get Lars shifted out of VIP.

01:37:21.480 --> 01:37:24.880
That might actually be Marto's job later in the round

01:37:24.880 --> 01:37:28.080
to get up in his face and bully him with that blitz shield.

01:37:28.080 --> 01:37:30.480
This is going to be key to them being able to do anything.

01:37:30.480 --> 01:37:33.160
The other key is dealing with P4 on the clash.

01:37:33.160 --> 01:37:37.120
They've got to have a plan in place to prevent him playing spoiler as well.

01:37:37.120 --> 01:37:42.000
currently inside of Sight, and then it's time left to go, and it looks like the attention

01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:46.680
is just shifting towards Bakery a little bit here as well. They just want a bit of pressure

01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:49.000
on both sides, which I don't actually hate.

01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:53.720
Yeah, it does look like you're up here a little bit, you know, uncontested right now,

01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:56.520
but that's okay, like you say. The problem is you've got the flash on this side, so

01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:59.080
then look, it's way if it's a hop in, so they can bring him down. He knows that

01:37:59.080 --> 01:38:02.680
the fuck is there, though, so it's kind of like a, it's a weird situation. They

01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:06.600
can't make much happen unless what makes something happen is what can they really do about

01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:10.660
The clash is in here now as well to give a little bit more threat and they've been information down the corridor

01:38:10.660 --> 01:38:14.440
The Bobby turns into a kill that is wonderful. And now they've got a crossbar on towards the blitz

01:38:14.440 --> 01:38:19.480
It's got to go somewhere else. Mark says based on really valuable time I've been here for the last 45 seconds

01:38:19.480 --> 01:38:21.480
They need to push double doors

01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:29.200
They try to do so they lose two bodies there P4 with a double at the end great clash play great team play

01:38:29.720 --> 01:38:33.720
Fantastic round from shifters. I look forward to freshers breakdown of that one

01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:41.080
I feel like that hold from wedding was really nice little bit of an unusual position from freck on the one. I you don't tend to see

01:38:41.400 --> 01:38:48.440
Anybody play that aggressively on that window, but it worked fantastically well, didn't it just completely held up the blitz at the window

01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:53.480
The player on red it allowed p4 time to get in there on the clash and support Robbie on the long corridor

01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:55.880
Brilliant stuff from shifters

01:38:56.040 --> 01:39:00.680
And this is the day it's almost like again the incomplete picture we were speaking about on top floor of banker last map

01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:03.480
They didn't open up the wall, they had no pressure coming in from Lobby.

01:39:03.480 --> 01:39:06.960
It was just a little bit, a bit limp, it was missing a very, very key part.

01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:10.000
And it's a similar story in this run because they don't have VIP control.

01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:14.080
They haven't got front door control or coat control or really like true red control.

01:39:14.080 --> 01:39:17.000
They didn't have a player there, but they couldn't safely push down

01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:19.800
and challenge them towards wedding itself or into a small bay.

01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:22.360
And off the back of that, well, like you saw, the clash posted up.

01:39:22.360 --> 01:39:24.720
We had the second player inside of there as well because they knew

01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:26.680
they were never getting challenged from down red.

01:39:26.680 --> 01:39:28.680
And so then two players like, well, we've kind of got a force now.

01:39:28.680 --> 01:39:32.680
We haven't got time to control the rest of the map, so we've got to go double door.

01:39:32.680 --> 01:39:40.680
One's got to go through a small bait window, and the problem is that they knew that was the only card they had left to play, so it was very well read by shippers.

01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:47.680
But again, rebels are leaving themselves like one part of the map, or one that will check this fight too short, and it's costing them.

01:39:47.680 --> 01:40:05.680
I'm just looking at the line-up for rebels here. We've got largely unexpected. Hard to see the continued use of the Solid Snake. It will continue to address that intel issue from round one.

01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:23.440
I feel like actually back to was okay in that perspective. They took over those top two floors. They did really well. They've got that open. They just didn't really then use that too much. You know, going towards the end of the round. So, federal, let's see if you can do that great job again of helping clear out.

01:40:23.440 --> 01:40:34.200
He's going to have a little bit more of a direct force meeting in this time. We do have players up on that top floor. It's going to be Robbie left the lawn. No, last most of their women as well. Sorry on the water.

01:40:34.200 --> 01:40:41.000
So there is still two to clear out and I want to see rebels just with a little bit more of a structured approach to getting rid of those two

01:40:43.480 --> 01:40:44.520
You will see

01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:46.920
But a lot of the right tools on side to make something happen

01:40:47.080 --> 01:40:51.480
But then the case of actually making it take place and then getting the plan to come to live from the outside

01:40:51.480 --> 01:40:53.320
It is often the challenge we see things fall apart

01:40:53.880 --> 01:40:55.400
Sees the feet and now they know he's upstairs

01:40:55.400 --> 01:40:59.960
But they've always said and bullets then to come from rebels players guns tend to look up to wars where they came from

01:41:00.280 --> 01:41:03.960
Elsewhere these skills going either way not involved in the same gun fights in a trade

01:41:04.200 --> 01:41:07.480
a separate league, some Robbigo, and some Linkugo.

01:41:07.480 --> 01:41:10.240
Yes, that's one of those top four players has been to it.

01:41:10.240 --> 01:41:12.880
Too easy. A beautiful double from Blaz.

01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:15.280
I just want to pick up on this at this point as well.

01:41:15.280 --> 01:41:19.240
We saw in the last two rounds of Bank, Blaz got Nitro kills.

01:41:19.240 --> 01:41:21.720
In this round, round two, so within four rounds,

01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:23.680
he's got three Nitro kills.

01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:27.720
He has been using that utility fantastically on the Valk.

01:41:27.720 --> 01:41:30.760
And it is such a key thing, whatever operator you're bringing,

01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:33.200
you've got to be an expert in that secondary use

01:41:33.200 --> 01:41:38.240
to get the most value. And again the trades coming in, you said it in the last map days,

01:41:38.240 --> 01:41:44.320
and it is so true still of Shifters. Every time there is a death on their side, there is another gun

01:41:44.320 --> 01:41:50.000
there to find an answer. And right now it's all up to Fennault with the F2. He's trying to work

01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:54.800
something for his team here. We've already seen him have one big clutch today, one B3, it's

01:41:54.800 --> 01:42:00.400
possible. He has the skills, we know that, but Shifters have the patience. And right now

01:42:00.400 --> 01:42:04.400
that's what it is. It's a

01:42:04.500 --> 01:42:06.400
discipline. The composure.

01:42:06.500 --> 01:42:08.400
Just being ready for anything

01:42:08.500 --> 01:42:09.400
that comes at them here as well.

01:42:09.500 --> 01:42:10.400
Not even really requiring all

01:42:10.500 --> 01:42:11.400
three than just one in the end

01:42:11.500 --> 01:42:13.400
is enough to get the final shot

01:42:13.500 --> 01:42:14.900
they need. And this map starts

01:42:15.000 --> 01:42:16.400
out very similar to the

01:42:16.500 --> 01:42:17.900
previous team. It's absolute

01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:19.400
domination by shifters. Yeah,

01:42:19.500 --> 01:42:22.400
they just they look fantastic.

01:42:22.500 --> 01:42:24.300
You know, for the mistakes

01:42:24.400 --> 01:42:26.300
that we can find on the side

01:42:26.400 --> 01:42:28.300
of rebels. I think we can

01:42:28.400 --> 01:42:30.300
also find lots of positives

01:42:30.400 --> 01:42:32.400
really, really nice siege

01:42:32.400 --> 01:42:34.400
from them. And it's no wonder

01:42:34.400 --> 01:42:36.400
that rebels are struggling to find

01:42:36.400 --> 01:42:38.400
rounds against them right now. So we have

01:42:38.400 --> 01:42:40.400
our additional bands come in. We're going to see

01:42:40.400 --> 01:42:42.400
the Kaid go and we're also going to

01:42:42.400 --> 01:42:44.400
see the Grim taking away as well

01:42:44.400 --> 01:42:46.400
as that rebels tactical

01:42:46.400 --> 01:42:48.400
timeout coming on in.

01:42:48.400 --> 01:42:50.400
All right. I would like to

01:42:50.400 --> 01:42:52.400
say I'm surprised, but obviously I think we are after how

01:42:52.400 --> 01:42:54.400
the game has started. And this again is

01:42:54.400 --> 01:42:56.400
the exact replica of what we saw back on bank.

01:42:56.400 --> 01:42:58.400
Three rounds went by and our bands come

01:42:58.400 --> 01:43:03.400
to attack timeout. Of course,

01:43:03.400 --> 01:43:04.400
or a number of crashouts across

01:43:04.400 --> 01:43:05.400
those first three rounds.

01:43:05.400 --> 01:43:06.400
Hopefully the same thing isn't

01:43:06.400 --> 01:43:07.400
happening again though. I know

01:43:07.400 --> 01:43:08.400
we didn't have Marta on camera

01:43:08.400 --> 01:43:09.400
at least at the beginning of

01:43:09.400 --> 01:43:10.400
the start of this game. So

01:43:10.400 --> 01:43:11.400
maybe there's a reason for that

01:43:11.400 --> 01:43:13.400
still as morale remains low.

01:43:13.400 --> 01:43:14.400
Can't imagine it feels any

01:43:14.400 --> 01:43:15.400
higher team after a bruising

01:43:15.400 --> 01:43:18.400
three zero start. No, that's

01:43:18.400 --> 01:43:20.400
I don't know if it's maybe

01:43:20.400 --> 01:43:22.400
too far gone at this point.

01:43:22.400 --> 01:43:23.400
You know that. Yes, you can

01:43:23.400 --> 01:43:24.400
go in there and you say,

01:43:24.400 --> 01:43:25.400
right, this is how we're

01:43:25.400 --> 01:43:26.400
going to set up doing. We

01:43:26.400 --> 01:43:27.400
can look at the strategy and

01:43:27.400 --> 01:43:33.600
else, but surely the management of the mental has got to be the big focal point at the minute.

01:43:33.600 --> 01:43:40.560
This team has no two ways to make it, take and reveal the batting so far. Turning that

01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:47.040
around is going to be the big one. Turning that around is going to be surely the path

01:43:47.040 --> 01:43:54.800
to finding a few rounds before anything else. It's such a difficult job to do because

01:43:54.800 --> 01:43:58.800
You know, once you know yourself, once you're in that position,

01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:00.800
when you're feeling stressed, you're feeling the pressure,

01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:03.800
everything just becomes much more difficult.

01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:07.800
We know that Rebels have had better performances than this.

01:44:07.800 --> 01:44:10.800
We've seen them have better performances than this.

01:44:10.800 --> 01:44:14.800
Throughout kick-off, it's a tough day for them.

01:44:14.800 --> 01:44:17.800
I tell you what, Chifters, I love it.

01:44:17.800 --> 01:44:19.800
They are not making it any easier for them.

01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:23.800
You know, as a professional team, you look at that situation

01:44:23.800 --> 01:44:28.960
you think we've got them where we want them and you know you keep them down you keep the

01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:34.000
pressure on them and you just cause out the game and shift us into any prior job of that.

01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:36.960
We saw a fracking nibbling a little bit in the whole shot, like me with you Sim and

01:44:36.960 --> 01:44:42.480
the whole top four seeing anything using them, oh yeah the juice is down guys, just give

01:44:42.480 --> 01:44:45.760
them a little nibble dot yeah you just give them a little bit and that's all it needs

01:44:45.760 --> 01:44:50.160
sometimes to just you know it doesn't have to be wild, it doesn't you know it

01:44:50.160 --> 01:44:55.240
done have to be. There's a good chance Rebels have got the old chat off and maybe there's

01:44:55.240 --> 01:45:00.600
absolutely nothing. But those things work both ways. Maybe Rebels don't even see it,

01:45:00.600 --> 01:45:04.440
but what does it do for the confidence of the shifters players? What does it do for

01:45:04.440 --> 01:45:08.560
their confidence seeing that and being like, yeah, we're all over and we're all over.

01:45:08.560 --> 01:45:11.520
These boys are on the bros. It works both ways.

01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:15.720
Well, Vars is going to try another shield operator. That's the third different one

01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:18.800
that he's tried across the two maps so far. On the entry to the lens, it's

01:45:18.800 --> 01:45:22.240
and down here losing the brown early on nice not ideal to break

01:45:22.640 --> 01:45:28.240
Okay, and that's upstairs people good spread of damage there doing a lot on tools link with marto not finishing up either

01:45:28.480 --> 01:45:34.160
And breck himself falls down to a nade not able to switch shells and time there and get himself out of danger

01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:40.080
He asked a good nade coming in from marto there linko manages to go through and get a kill as well onto

01:45:40.240 --> 01:45:45.120
Robbie leaving us now in a three versus three last more hello

01:45:45.120 --> 01:45:50.120
Oh, picks up a nice knife up to Asta and another one.

01:45:50.240 --> 01:45:52.040
Three on the top floor.

01:45:52.040 --> 01:45:56.480
Last one goes absolutely ballistic.

01:45:56.480 --> 01:45:57.960
How have they missed him?

01:45:59.080 --> 01:46:00.720
They've pushed through bar.

01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:02.480
They've pushed into storage.

01:46:02.480 --> 01:46:03.800
They've made it a player out.

01:46:03.800 --> 01:46:06.280
They've sent it deep on lumber.

01:46:06.280 --> 01:46:08.600
Well, completely forgot about the shifter.

01:46:08.600 --> 01:46:10.200
Bust through was right there.

01:46:10.200 --> 01:46:12.280
And last one was like, guys,

01:46:12.280 --> 01:46:13.640
they're not pushing me guys, guys.

01:46:13.640 --> 01:46:14.480
I'll go for it.

01:46:14.480 --> 01:46:19.440
absolute chaos and anarchy on pixel against Capitile that leads to a knife kill. Like look at this

01:46:19.440 --> 01:46:24.880
look! They know that he's there! Where is the call that he's here? Does the player on my window

01:46:24.880 --> 01:46:28.880
should have him at least? You know, there's a known player that he's here doing damage,

01:46:28.880 --> 01:46:34.000
but he gets away with a massive 3k. Like I think we have the same reaction as Fred there,

01:46:34.000 --> 01:46:38.560
that was slippery, but my god rebels you cannot be letting that happen.

01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:44.560
and I think it's going to be

01:46:44.560 --> 01:46:46.560
really good. And in terms of

01:46:46.560 --> 01:46:48.560
rebels like and if you what did

01:46:48.560 --> 01:46:50.560
I speak about in immediately

01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:52.560
around wonders lack of intel

01:46:52.560 --> 01:46:53.560
and that's how it appeared to me

01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:54.560
that we were going into areas

01:46:54.560 --> 01:46:56.560
without pulling away exactly

01:46:56.560 --> 01:46:57.560
what they were against and

01:46:57.560 --> 01:46:58.560
where everybody was and they

01:46:58.560 --> 01:46:59.560
were maybe just trying to

01:46:59.560 --> 01:47:01.560
snatch opportunities to get

01:47:01.560 --> 01:47:03.560
something going and that to

01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:05.560
me looks like exactly the same

01:47:05.560 --> 01:47:12.760
I mean, okay, and we're going last morning that case to slip the net and do untold damage to them.

01:47:12.760 --> 01:47:17.000
They were, the thing is, I'm not, I wanted to go as far as to say,

01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:21.400
oh, they were in a winning position. It was early in the round, but they've done some good work.

01:47:21.400 --> 01:47:25.000
They've got rid of the warden, they've taken Frack out, you know, it was a nice

01:47:25.000 --> 01:47:29.000
need kill, cleared out the freezer. They were doing some good work, and it's all been

01:47:29.000 --> 01:47:39.000
done by this lack of intel and knowledge okay okay we are very quickly hurt

01:47:39.000 --> 01:47:43.040
into wards a similar score lines that we had back on bank where it'd be a 5-0

01:47:43.040 --> 01:47:47.960
start to shifters rebels need a round team a single round I feel would be

01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:51.280
enough because with the mental in the state that it is I don't see them coming

01:47:51.280 --> 01:47:54.800
back from the 60 depth split and I don't see them doing it's him and they

01:47:54.800 --> 01:48:01.400
missed shots like that. I noticed the F2, I know it can be hard to control. He hadn't

01:48:01.400 --> 01:48:04.480
dead to rise for a good three seconds and still couldn't land a single shot.

01:48:04.480 --> 01:48:11.920
I was going to have a little peek around the corner and I try and get that F2, doing some

01:48:11.920 --> 01:48:17.480
work for them but Fennel can't find anybody as yet. Losing the run as you said, not

01:48:17.480 --> 01:48:22.480
great at all, big loss of utility and it means that shifters, the main thing there

01:48:22.480 --> 01:48:30.480
Now the shifters can actually play those power positions inside of sight that they want to because they're not going to find that floor getting opened up above them.

01:48:30.480 --> 01:48:37.480
There's not many options, Ass has got a couple of hard preaches, but other than that they can struggle and maybe some holes with BMRs will be about as good as it gets.

01:48:37.480 --> 01:48:44.480
P4's good game continues. I want to keep this thread of P4 running, you know, we've picked upon him on the desk.

01:48:44.480 --> 01:48:49.600
We've mentioned him along the way as well, you know, we said he could be that extra 10%

01:48:49.600 --> 01:48:54.960
for shifters to start evolving their performance into one that is a team that you look at and say,

01:48:54.960 --> 01:48:59.920
you know what, there could be a salt work place on the way for them and I look at his performance to

01:48:59.920 --> 01:49:06.400
the 4-1 so far in the second map, very solid from P4, really facilitating his team and it's been

01:49:06.400 --> 01:49:11.440
another important part of what's going right for shifters. You know it's crazy, he's playing

01:49:11.440 --> 01:49:18.240
Well, he's nine and eight across the series you look from top down freck plus nine blazz plus seven Robbie plus seven

01:49:18.240 --> 01:49:23.200
Like we're not even talking about close up. There's not a player on the other side except

01:49:23.200 --> 01:49:25.200
I know he's 13 and 13 but not the others

01:49:25.200 --> 01:49:28.960
Positive link who's two and 13 after it's born 13

01:49:29.120 --> 01:49:33.540
They really haven't showed place. I'm about saying it's showing in the score at the top of the screen

01:49:33.540 --> 01:49:37.600
That said they get one back on towards blazz not the end of the world and convert it into a second

01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:39.440
This is a good little turnaround here from Rebels.

01:49:39.440 --> 01:49:42.120
An execute that is actually looking like it could work here.

01:49:42.120 --> 01:49:44.080
But that's a freebie and instant trade is there.

01:49:44.080 --> 01:49:45.880
Good from Linko to bring it back.

01:49:45.880 --> 01:49:47.120
And now we've got to see a retake.

01:49:47.120 --> 01:49:49.880
Come on in this two versus two from the shifters boys.

01:49:49.880 --> 01:49:51.600
Yeah, Rebels have done some good work here

01:49:51.600 --> 01:49:53.160
to give themselves an opportunity.

01:49:53.160 --> 01:49:54.480
Going to get sprayed down over.

01:49:54.480 --> 01:49:56.120
Okay, managing to find Linko.

01:49:56.120 --> 01:49:57.320
Frank gets the other.

01:49:57.320 --> 01:49:59.840
Shifters again have the answers.

01:49:59.840 --> 01:50:02.320
They are at least put to the test this time,

01:50:02.320 --> 01:50:04.840
but they get the job done.

01:50:04.840 --> 01:50:06.320
They always know what to say.

01:50:06.320 --> 01:50:10.880
always know what to do and where to look. There's right now. They just feel like they

01:50:10.880 --> 01:50:18.280
are ahead of time in this game. They know everything before it happens.

01:50:18.280 --> 01:50:20.920
And there's probably going to be no better mental breaker than around where you feel

01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:23.840
like, okay, something actually went good for us then. We played out three players

01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:28.440
that were on site. We've got the plant down and a post plant. And then to see it completely

01:50:28.440 --> 01:50:32.280
collapse in the three versus two is only going to shut our confidence even further.

01:50:32.280 --> 01:50:39.760
but for shifters it does nothing more than in fold and them 5-0 up at this point it looks like they're on for a cruise in 2-0

01:50:40.120 --> 01:50:44.600
Like you say Tim got an interesting next game waiting for them against potentially twisted minds

01:50:44.600 --> 01:50:49.000
I think they're in the B and one of the best series in the tournament so far given the play style of those two teams

01:50:49.320 --> 01:50:54.400
And given that there is quite literally a major spot on the line during the game

01:50:54.920 --> 01:50:57.200
Yeah, absolutely, you know massive

01:50:57.200 --> 01:51:00.880
We assume already that Twisted Binds are going to lose to G2.

01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:02.040
This is it.

01:51:02.040 --> 01:51:03.840
Let's not write Twisted Binds off.

01:51:03.840 --> 01:51:05.920
They've got an unpredictable playstyle.

01:51:05.920 --> 01:51:07.440
They're tough to play against,

01:51:07.440 --> 01:51:09.600
and they can deliver on the big stage.

01:51:09.600 --> 01:51:12.400
We'll see them do it time and time again now.

01:51:12.400 --> 01:51:17.280
So that matchup is far, far from decided.

01:51:17.280 --> 01:51:18.680
That's it.

01:51:18.680 --> 01:51:21.240
Let's see how that goes tomorrow,

01:51:21.240 --> 01:51:23.920
and then we'll see exactly how this concludes him on Friday.

01:51:23.920 --> 01:51:26.880
We'll be back casting. It should be good fun.

01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:29.040
It certainly could be a very, very whirlwind tournament,

01:51:29.040 --> 01:51:32.600
but some very interesting game style to build up here as things progress forward.

01:51:32.600 --> 01:51:35.680
Now, Amato is back on the bit, since things started this half.

01:51:35.680 --> 01:51:37.440
It didn't quite work out for many.

01:51:37.440 --> 01:51:41.360
Ended up staring at this window off to his right for the majority of that round, unfortunately.

01:51:41.360 --> 01:51:44.480
Hopefully to God, the guys got something a little bit better formulated here.

01:51:44.480 --> 01:51:48.400
Dr. Moose banned the wave, for example, so instead they turned out towards the lion

01:51:48.400 --> 01:51:49.840
and alongside the Deimos.

01:51:49.840 --> 01:51:52.480
Should give him a lot of information to be able to work the way through the map,

01:51:52.480 --> 01:51:55.200
but then equally there are some good roamers here on the side of the shifters.

01:51:55.200 --> 01:51:58.880
look it towards Brake and blast, there'll be a headache that are anywhere you put them.

01:52:01.840 --> 01:52:07.200
Just still in that, I was going to say, prep phase really, the leftovers of it,

01:52:07.840 --> 01:52:11.040
as the attackers were getting themselves positioned around the building, but they

01:52:11.040 --> 01:52:15.280
have been punished again from has been able to take down Feno, and that's the day,

01:52:15.280 --> 01:52:19.040
Master, be a blast, you know, when you're looking at somewhere that you're going to need

01:52:19.040 --> 01:52:23.440
to cause people down, shut down roamers, shut down these extensions, the day must

01:52:23.440 --> 01:52:27.600
can really help you to do so. So big loss there. But a big loss on the other side as well.

01:52:27.600 --> 01:52:32.560
P4 going down and the Tugerae going with them. That might just give a little bit of an opportunity there.

01:52:32.560 --> 01:52:38.720
The Warden not able to react quite quickly enough to the impact of that Nitro. But Blas is there to

01:52:38.720 --> 01:52:45.440
support taking down Mato as they did find the kill. Three versus two now as Rebels again managed

01:52:45.440 --> 01:52:49.440
to get themselves a little bit of a toehold in round six.

01:52:49.440 --> 01:52:53.600
bearing in mind that is the top floor. Now they came away with the numbers advantage which is really big for them

01:52:53.600 --> 01:52:58.000
but as I've often said it's the attackers who lose out when you, if you were going like 2-2 there

01:52:58.000 --> 01:53:01.520
on the road and top floor it tends to be the attackers that are losing out because you can't

01:53:01.520 --> 01:53:04.880
control as many points of the execution you might want, you can't have someone covering the plant

01:53:04.880 --> 01:53:08.640
while they're going down and the vertical and trying to go for a backstab at the same time.

01:53:09.200 --> 01:53:13.040
Risky Cfee away from Fred but he does get away with it here Tim as Linky falls to Robbie

01:53:13.040 --> 01:53:17.040
sure they don't lose a three versus two team.

01:53:17.040 --> 01:53:22.040
Surely not, I mean, it wouldn't be the first bad thing that's happened to them today, would it?

01:53:22.040 --> 01:53:27.040
So let's just hold that thought, Robbie, inside of the door here with the DMR

01:53:27.040 --> 01:53:31.040
and I don't think they've got any idea that he's stood on top of the plant spot right now.

01:53:31.040 --> 01:53:35.040
Acer is half health, that is a dangerous spot to be pushing into a DMR.

01:53:35.040 --> 01:53:38.040
He's one or two shots max, they now know his position.

01:53:38.040 --> 01:53:40.040
Are they going to find a prefire onto him?

01:53:40.040 --> 01:53:44.280
No, they are not! Robbie still finds a way into a or not.

01:53:44.280 --> 01:53:46.040
Frank found the other elsewhere.

01:53:46.040 --> 01:53:48.760
You really don't want to go up against Frank and Robbie today.

01:53:48.760 --> 01:53:51.560
They are putting up numbers and continue to do so.

01:53:51.560 --> 01:53:52.200
6-0!

01:53:53.960 --> 01:53:57.160
Yeah, I bet that's got a lot to say about this, Tim.

01:53:57.160 --> 01:53:59.320
Let's see from what they've got to say to us now.

01:53:59.320 --> 01:54:00.680
Yeah, I think you guys have mentioned it.

01:54:00.680 --> 01:54:01.800
There is Frank, there is Robbie,

01:54:01.800 --> 01:54:03.160
and there is also the brain behind it.

01:54:03.160 --> 01:54:05.160
I think we've mentioned before a couple of times already,

01:54:05.160 --> 01:54:07.160
but really, I just want you guys to pay attention

01:54:07.160 --> 01:54:09.720
to just how well they've been able to read rebels.

01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:13.880
we're on the basement right now and as you can see rebels they're trying to open up the hatch now

01:54:13.880 --> 01:54:17.880
there is a gate trick from shifterside that's fine it's problem solved by the toucher freezer

01:54:17.880 --> 01:54:22.840
hatch is open and as you can see actually rebels are drowning here and what do they notice they

01:54:22.840 --> 01:54:27.480
notice here p4 is on the clash on the boost and so what they want to do is they want to avoid

01:54:27.480 --> 01:54:31.560
the gunfight here they want to avoid that execute so as soon as they drum them

01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:36.520
actually they decide to go for the backside now the thing is many people would think

01:54:36.520 --> 01:54:39.520
As soon as you open the freezer hatch, oh, they're going to execute freezer.

01:54:39.520 --> 01:54:43.820
And so, Rebels right now, they think they're ahead of shifters, but shifter is actually ahead of them.

01:54:43.820 --> 01:54:48.320
Because I want you to pay attention to one player, P4 on the clash, has completely given up freezer,

01:54:48.320 --> 01:54:50.220
and he's already rotated towards bakery.

01:54:50.220 --> 01:54:54.920
And why is that important? Well, he's read everything, and you will see in terms of positioning,

01:54:54.920 --> 01:54:56.820
how he scores impacting everyone.

01:54:56.820 --> 01:55:01.120
Because Mato, they're clearly setting up a trap with Feno here on two frags.

01:55:01.120 --> 01:55:03.120
But look at the positioning from P4.

01:55:03.120 --> 01:55:06.960
Because he rotated there, P4 can go aggressive on the Bakery door with LASMO.

01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:11.360
Robby is holding right stairs if Feno goes down, effectively shifters have read them perfectly

01:55:11.360 --> 01:55:15.280
and they're ready for that trap to happen. So if we play here, what you're going to see is

01:55:15.280 --> 01:55:19.120
P4 and LASMO play together towards ASA and make sure they get a kill on the Bakery player.

01:55:19.120 --> 01:55:22.400
As soon as that pressure is removed, P4 can go and aggressive towards WEDDING,

01:55:22.400 --> 01:55:26.240
making sure that Blitz does not go in. Red stairs player dies to Robby holding the flank

01:55:26.240 --> 01:55:29.840
and at this moment, Marble jumps in each way too late. All of the gunfights have already

01:55:29.840 --> 01:55:33.760
happened and all of this because of flash because before the whole time it's

01:55:33.760 --> 01:55:37.680
created pressure on everyone rotating making sure there's to be one at every

01:55:37.680 --> 01:55:42.440
point honestly what are it from shifters they're just way ahead in terms of

01:55:42.440 --> 01:55:46.760
design in terms of strategy but also they commit to that so well all the

01:55:46.760 --> 01:55:50.520
time coordinating together it's a beautiful player from shifters all

01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:54.400
around that they do shit to see the absolute flow state right now not just

01:55:54.400 --> 01:55:59.400
before every player on this roster because what do you mean that gets away with a 3k

01:55:59.400 --> 01:56:00.400
in the freezer upstairs?

01:56:00.400 --> 01:56:04.280
Yeah, they've got the perfect read and then when they've not got the perfect read you get

01:56:04.280 --> 01:56:08.480
the big gameplays, you get those aura plays where you're just running into Big Cell, getting

01:56:08.480 --> 01:56:11.400
a knife kill and then getting a big triple kill off the back of it.

01:56:11.400 --> 01:56:13.920
Chifters are putting a perfect performance, it starts at the top, it starts at the

01:56:13.920 --> 01:56:17.520
top with the read from the support staff opening up the map in the map veto.

01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:19.880
It then goes through to P4 in the agileing.

01:56:19.880 --> 01:56:23.160
He was calling that that rotate was going to happen one minute into the round well

01:56:23.160 --> 01:56:25.960
before he even got drunk because we were listening to the team comes he's not

01:56:25.960 --> 01:56:29.240
muddled up in his thinking he's able to see that completely and then even then

01:56:29.240 --> 01:56:33.680
we're finally seeing that from free come alive for shifters it feels like a very

01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:35.320
perfect performance right now.

01:56:35.320 --> 01:56:36.720
What about the operator bands that we're seeing?

01:56:36.720 --> 01:56:41.200
I think so far nothing out of the ordinary you remove the Azami so it's easier to attack

01:56:41.200 --> 01:56:45.080
Piano side you remove the Cade so it's easier for the hatch of Basement of Beastly

01:56:45.080 --> 01:56:48.880
but also for the double reinforcement towards bathroom and freezer it's

01:56:48.880 --> 01:56:51.800
very clear that shippers are going for a traditional game and to be

01:56:51.800 --> 01:56:55.640
honest I won't blame them they're heavily in the lead here well they just need one

01:56:55.640 --> 01:56:58.600
round there's much point for a shift there's a elimination point of four

01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:01.080
rebels let's see how this one goes

01:57:01.080 --> 01:57:04.360
I don't know you guys keep it you keep it we don't need it all this is done

01:57:04.360 --> 01:57:06.920
you've got about three minutes worth there again let's rest a little bit of

01:57:06.920 --> 01:57:09.560
air time so we can get a little bit of chat doesn't the game go back on the

01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:12.200
desk anywhere are you fine

01:57:12.200 --> 01:57:18.440
oh thanks certainly will be um but at the minute rebels have got the problems

01:57:18.440 --> 01:57:23.360
We can see that. It's one round at a time, isn't it?

01:57:23.360 --> 01:57:25.240
You've just got to work your way through.

01:57:25.240 --> 01:57:27.440
They've just got to try and get something at the start,

01:57:27.440 --> 01:57:28.840
which here a couple of defences.

01:57:28.840 --> 01:57:30.840
I know it didn't prove enough previously.

01:57:30.840 --> 01:57:32.960
I don't think, honestly, it's going to prove enough.

01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:35.840
Now, they are likely to be eliminated

01:57:35.840 --> 01:57:37.600
from the playoff phase at this point,

01:57:37.600 --> 01:57:41.240
but you've got to start somewhere, haven't you?

01:57:41.240 --> 01:57:42.360
You're still in the game.

01:57:42.360 --> 01:57:43.720
It's still happening.

01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:46.560
We've seen 6-0 come back to before.

01:57:46.560 --> 01:57:51.520
you know, it's not really, she can return a little bit of sanity to the performance if nothing else.

01:57:52.800 --> 01:57:55.920
Difficult to their faces in that game where they beat Seagrot on this very map.

01:57:55.920 --> 01:57:58.880
You know, three attacks is what they walked away with. They walked through with zero here,

01:57:58.880 --> 01:58:02.640
which is why I'm very, very nervous for them now. Going onto the defensive side,

01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:05.600
of course, to see any kind of turnaround, but I hope we do.

01:58:06.160 --> 01:58:09.520
This German game can be this decisive, but that's the way they're just working out right now.

01:58:09.520 --> 01:58:12.480
Starting things out, of course, on the east side here, looking to get themselves in towards

01:58:12.480 --> 01:58:16.640
Coptail, I'm putting a bit of pressure on players up on the top floor, she's just looking to

01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:20.080
massage players away from this top floor first and foremost, get top floor control,

01:58:20.080 --> 01:58:23.360
then worry about the vertical and then they can start thinking about that site itself.

01:58:26.640 --> 01:58:33.040
Gonna take a little bit of space up at bottom right stairs there, hold the angle that we

01:58:33.040 --> 01:58:38.080
can see the aggressive drop come in, Robbie Ceezy's man in pixel goes for the challenge,

01:58:38.080 --> 01:58:45.840
loses it. Great start from a lens manages to give them something five versus four and a big entry there for rebels in the

01:58:46.040 --> 01:58:48.040
Looking to get aggressive

01:58:48.680 --> 01:58:50.680
People he's ready for that one

01:58:50.800 --> 01:58:56.360
To get out a bed sooner than that if you want to catch him out Frank manages to find a lens as well four versus three

01:58:56.360 --> 01:58:58.160
And what is a very late trade there?

01:58:58.160 --> 01:59:02.320
We see the track going on to the Ella of Lincoln as well

01:59:02.320 --> 01:59:03.320
Both are easy.

01:59:03.320 --> 01:59:05.320
Two as Blast picks up Mato.

01:59:05.320 --> 01:59:07.320
Isn't that looking good right now, Des?

01:59:07.320 --> 01:59:09.320
They've had one locked away by the gridlocks.

01:59:09.320 --> 01:59:11.320
They've had Yellowpings coming through on to them.

01:59:11.320 --> 01:59:13.320
They've had Trax coming through on to another from the Daymast.

01:59:13.320 --> 01:59:14.320
They've had Lyon scans going off.

01:59:14.320 --> 01:59:17.320
There is nothing that the other side of the group

01:59:17.320 --> 01:59:19.320
can do right now to surprise them.

01:59:19.320 --> 01:59:20.320
They won a gunfight.

01:59:20.320 --> 01:59:21.320
That'll certainly help.

01:59:21.320 --> 01:59:22.320
But look at that again.

01:59:22.320 --> 01:59:23.320
Beno gets a kill.

01:59:23.320 --> 01:59:25.320
Immediately another gun is pointed away to secure the trade.

01:59:25.320 --> 01:59:27.320
Shifters have played a brilliant attack,

01:59:27.320 --> 01:59:28.320
a brilliant series overall,

01:59:28.320 --> 01:59:30.320
and they deserve this one at 2-0.

01:59:30.320 --> 01:59:34.320
and they move on to face the loser of G2 against Twisted Mind.

01:59:34.320 --> 01:59:38.480
Yeah, brilliant stuff from shifters. They're asking every question asked of them.

01:59:38.480 --> 01:59:43.440
They've played some beautiful strategic siege, built chocolate stuff at times,

01:59:43.440 --> 01:59:48.960
one take after another, getting the job done, and they just did not give rebels the time to breathe.

01:59:48.960 --> 01:59:55.040
I love the professional performance from them, you know, putting a team down who was there to be beaten.

01:59:55.040 --> 01:59:58.720
Great stuff, and they move on to that low rackets semi-vinyl.

01:59:58.720 --> 02:00:02.320
It's all a little bit too pedestrian, it's just us today, but I imagine it'll be a very

02:00:02.320 --> 02:00:06.720
very good confidence builder, and if they can win that next move, as we said, Salt Lake

02:00:06.720 --> 02:00:07.720
City awaits.

02:00:07.720 --> 02:00:10.080
But what awaits that little bit still that's in, is a break.

02:00:10.080 --> 02:00:13.040
We'll go to that now, when we come back out of death, we'll once again break that

02:00:13.040 --> 02:00:14.040
down for you.

02:00:14.040 --> 02:00:14.320
See you in a few.

02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:08.720
to keep swimming in this lower

02:05:08.720 --> 02:05:10.720
bracket of 70 on map two to keep

02:05:10.720 --> 02:05:12.720
themselves alive in these

02:05:12.720 --> 02:05:13.720
players and therefore we get to

02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:14.720
speak to them as well to ask

02:05:14.720 --> 02:05:16.720
a few questions about this game

02:05:16.720 --> 02:05:18.720
as we're joined by Frank

02:05:18.720 --> 02:05:19.720
good albums. How are you feeling

02:05:19.720 --> 02:05:20.720
about this game? Did you

02:05:20.720 --> 02:05:22.720
expect it to be that fast

02:05:22.720 --> 02:05:24.720
as you

02:05:24.720 --> 02:05:26.720
like we knew the weaknesses

02:05:26.720 --> 02:05:30.160
This is, we played to it and it made it quick, I don't know.

02:05:31.040 --> 02:05:34.800
Yeah, I mean, looking at you guys play against them, it felt like you had them number the whole time.

02:05:34.800 --> 02:05:36.560
Like, literally you were reading them so well.

02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:41.760
I'm just wondering how much of that was heavy prepping or adaptation in the game?

02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:45.360
I mean, we already knew what they were going to do.

02:05:45.360 --> 02:05:48.560
So I think it's mostly prepping and then it's always like,

02:05:48.560 --> 02:05:52.000
are they going to do it in the game and then they do it and then you just play on to it.

02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:55.040
So mostly after Larry Thelon.

02:05:55.040 --> 02:06:01.000
Do you think that is a tier 2 team's mistake coming into tier 1 to just play the same maps

02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:06.640
and play the same strategies again in a BO3, not expecting that the teams in front of you

02:06:06.640 --> 02:06:07.640
will counter strategy?

02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:12.480
I mean it's kind of hard for them right, because there's only one, there's two players

02:06:12.480 --> 02:06:18.520
that play tier 1, so it's all new for them and they're just trying to learn and yeah,

02:06:18.520 --> 02:06:23.000
it's hard to learn everything and if there's only two people that like have played higher

02:06:23.000 --> 02:06:29.000
I can teach you or your coach, of course, but the other way is just to play to learn, so it's going to take some time.

02:06:29.000 --> 02:06:34.000
Freck, it feels like a long time since we've spoken to you, so congratulations on the win, first and foremost.

02:06:34.000 --> 02:06:44.000
Last year we spoke about Robbie and about Lazmo alongside you on the front line, and I suppose we saw at some points across the year in consistency.

02:06:44.000 --> 02:06:49.000
It felt like that front line was really working today, so is that something that you put a lot of effort into?

02:06:49.000 --> 02:06:56.520
Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's just confidence because you can see like the stuff that he pulls out, like it's just nice in people and

02:06:57.640 --> 02:06:58.680
I don't know what he's doing

02:06:58.680 --> 02:07:05.400
but like he does the crazy stuff every time and he's so good mechanically and I think for Rob, Rob is already getting into it

02:07:05.400 --> 02:07:09.320
Rob was playing a lot better already. Yeah, and he's just consistently showing it

02:07:10.520 --> 02:07:12.520
All right, then one more question before we let you go

02:07:13.080 --> 02:07:17.960
Your next match in this lower bracket is going to be against the looser versus of twisted mines and g2

02:07:17.960 --> 02:07:20.960
Who do you think you play against and how do you feel about that game?

02:07:20.960 --> 02:07:26.960
Probably to be honest, we've played them in the Invite qualms finals, or no finals, it was like semi-finals.

02:07:26.960 --> 02:07:32.960
We lost, but we play pretty shit. Again, we know how they play, so we'll be ready.

02:07:32.960 --> 02:07:36.960
It's going to be a very different game style if it is that right?

02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:38.960
Compared to today?

02:07:38.960 --> 02:07:39.960
Yeah.

02:07:39.960 --> 02:07:42.960
I mean, they're kind of like the same chaos plays style you know,

02:07:42.960 --> 02:07:50.960
But I think Twisted, they're more experienced. They know how to play it, want to play it a lot better, so yeah.

02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:55.960
Fair. We'll see if that's the match that you get for tomorrow for now. Good luck with your operation and we'll speak to you soon.

02:07:55.960 --> 02:07:57.960
Thank you very much. Bye-bye guys.

02:07:57.960 --> 02:08:03.960
Bye-bye. I think that there was something very interesting what you said is that Rebels has got the same chaos play style as Rebels.

02:08:03.960 --> 02:08:05.960
As Twisted minds, yeah.

02:08:05.960 --> 02:08:08.960
But they don't have the pacing, which I think is so true.

02:08:08.960 --> 02:08:12.560
is that if you look at the way they're aggressing, by the way, look at the way Rebels are aggressing.

02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:17.920
They are always aggressing at the wrong timing, never together, and also at the wrong moment in the round.

02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:22.080
And without making this necessarily about Rebels, because obviously, Schiff just played amazingly.

02:08:22.080 --> 02:08:26.000
Where did Rebels find success in their group stage to get them through the bracket

02:08:26.000 --> 02:08:30.400
when they played aggressive, when they played that kind of KO-thick style of scene, so I see it,

02:08:30.400 --> 02:08:34.240
but on a much, like you say, more inexperienced scale, a much lower scale.

02:08:34.240 --> 02:08:38.640
I mean, it's fine to make it a weapon, right? It's fine that what? What is that?

02:08:38.640 --> 02:08:40.640
What is that?

02:08:40.640 --> 02:08:43.640
That's, I guess, a secret weapon as well.

02:08:43.640 --> 02:08:49.640
But I think on the side of the rubble, I think it's fine to organize that your aggression is your main weapon.

02:08:49.640 --> 02:08:52.640
I think the main thing is, weaponize that at the right moment.

02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:57.640
No one to aggress, wait maybe till one minute before the exit, when everyone has got their utility and get aggressive then.

02:08:57.640 --> 02:09:00.640
But I think they were really struggling to find the right moment to do it.

02:09:00.640 --> 02:09:05.640
And when you do it all the time, shifters were ready all the time to punish it.

02:09:05.640 --> 02:09:07.640
And that's why they got punished all the time.

02:09:07.640 --> 02:09:11.480
I feel like a lot of mature words as well that you were hearing from Freck about the experience

02:09:11.480 --> 02:09:14.600
or the confidence that you're having, the kind of improvement that they're working on

02:09:14.600 --> 02:09:18.200
with that roster because for players like Laszlo and Robbie as well that are fighting

02:09:18.200 --> 02:09:20.280
their footing in this roster again.

02:09:20.280 --> 02:09:21.280
Yeah, exactly.

02:09:21.280 --> 02:09:22.840
I mean, he kind of spoke about it.

02:09:22.840 --> 02:09:25.560
Last year for those two players was very, very up and down.

02:09:25.560 --> 02:09:28.520
Freck was kind of the runner across that front three the whole time.

02:09:28.520 --> 02:09:30.960
But even when he came on into your last year, he was gassing those guys up.

02:09:30.960 --> 02:09:32.960
He's like, I know we've got it inside of us.

02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:34.480
And I think that's the story of Shifters.

02:09:34.480 --> 02:09:36.480
You know, we both say, there's a team there.

02:09:36.480 --> 02:09:41.520
There really is a team that can go far, especially inside of the EML standing from go to these

02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:45.960
international events, but it's just about refining the consistency.

02:09:45.960 --> 02:09:49.480
Because some days they'll look like Wild Beards, today they look like Wild Beards, and then

02:09:49.480 --> 02:09:53.760
other times, like in the group stage where they lost Fnatic, completely unexpected.

02:09:53.760 --> 02:09:56.680
I think overall though it is a good buy moment for Rebels.

02:09:56.680 --> 02:09:59.920
A few takeaways for me, I think some highlights first.

02:09:59.920 --> 02:10:02.720
LMS has still got it, I think he played really well.

02:10:02.720 --> 02:10:03.720
It was nice to see him back.

02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:04.720
It was nice to see him back.

02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:07.040
So, you know, they were drafters, of course, of his age.

02:10:07.040 --> 02:10:09.240
He's the eldest right now, he's 30 years old,

02:10:09.240 --> 02:10:11.040
and he still plays at the right level.

02:10:11.040 --> 02:10:14.200
I think Asa still showed some great statistics

02:10:14.200 --> 02:10:15.280
despite the worst role.

02:10:15.280 --> 02:10:17.800
Yeah, I think Feno especially, if you want to impress me,

02:10:17.800 --> 02:10:20.760
as the fragger, coming in, making a lot of moves,

02:10:20.760 --> 02:10:22.080
I think the other players,

02:10:22.080 --> 02:10:24.240
there's something that they need to fix,

02:10:24.240 --> 02:10:26.240
either in terms of behavior or comes.

02:10:26.240 --> 02:10:27.720
Yeah, I saw from the IGL,

02:10:27.720 --> 02:10:30.400
from Linko a little bit more self-confidence.

02:10:30.400 --> 02:10:32.320
He went 3 and 14, I think, in this match.

02:10:32.320 --> 02:10:33.480
Yeah, that's rough.

02:10:33.480 --> 02:10:35.000
and he also had the bad game before.

02:10:35.000 --> 02:10:37.440
So those are the things that you grow onto.

02:10:37.440 --> 02:10:39.080
Yeah, grow is a great word.

02:10:39.080 --> 02:10:40.320
Grow, maturing into it.

02:10:40.320 --> 02:10:42.720
I think, you know, we seem to come across

02:10:42.720 --> 02:10:43.680
quite an inexperienced team.

02:10:43.680 --> 02:10:45.600
Naturally, they came from challenger series.

02:10:45.600 --> 02:10:47.840
They were a tier two team not that long ago.

02:10:47.840 --> 02:10:49.800
Now they're in the big leagues, in the big games.

02:10:49.800 --> 02:10:51.240
They've really got a maturing into it

02:10:51.240 --> 02:10:53.360
because we will see them back in state one of course.

02:10:53.360 --> 02:10:54.760
Yeah, as we say goodbye to variables.

02:10:54.760 --> 02:10:56.080
We see shit's progress in the bracket.

02:10:56.080 --> 02:10:58.240
Very important to mention is that it flips as well, right?

02:10:58.240 --> 02:11:01.880
Those losers from match five and six tomorrow

02:11:01.880 --> 02:11:06.100
will be dropping down to the other side of that loser's bracket. That's why, for example,

02:11:06.100 --> 02:11:10.760
Shirtz will be playing the loser of G2 Twisted Minds, and that'll mean for, you know, the

02:11:10.760 --> 02:11:14.800
next match that we are coming up, there will be a difficult opponent too, right? That is

02:11:14.800 --> 02:11:19.920
going to be the loser of Falcons, Virtus. Pro, certainly not an easy match to go for,

02:11:19.920 --> 02:11:24.000
but hey, it is why people call the lower bracket an alligator swamp, because there

02:11:24.000 --> 02:11:28.560
are so many good contestants inside that lower bracket, and we have two more coming

02:11:28.560 --> 02:11:35.560
up after the break. We'll talk about phonetic and secrets.

02:14:58.560 --> 02:15:22.560
It is only one of the three

02:15:22.560 --> 02:15:23.560
four to the again. We're flying

02:15:23.560 --> 02:15:25.560
through these matches. We

02:15:25.560 --> 02:15:26.560
haven't had a two one a

02:15:26.560 --> 02:15:27.560
competitive game inside the

02:15:27.560 --> 02:15:29.040
because we have two big organizations.

02:15:29.040 --> 02:15:30.560
We don't want to see either of them go home,

02:15:30.560 --> 02:15:32.240
but one of them will have to,

02:15:32.240 --> 02:15:34.160
if you want to make it to the top four teams,

02:15:34.160 --> 02:15:36.560
that'll make it to the Salt Lake City Major.

02:15:36.560 --> 02:15:38.280
We're talking about FEDEC, we're talking about Secret,

02:15:38.280 --> 02:15:39.200
starting off with Secret,

02:15:39.200 --> 02:15:42.120
because there is the potential for Secret

02:15:42.120 --> 02:15:46.320
to lose a enormous streak of events that they've attended,

02:15:46.320 --> 02:15:47.800
should they lose as much today?

02:15:47.800 --> 02:15:49.000
I think for Savage,

02:15:49.000 --> 02:15:52.240
especially it would be the end of an incredible journey.

02:15:52.240 --> 02:15:55.040
These guys have attended every single event

02:15:55.040 --> 02:15:56.360
since the Manchester Major,

02:15:56.360 --> 02:15:59.760
that's two years in a row where they go through every single S tier event.

02:16:00.960 --> 02:16:07.760
Obviously the last one they missed was SI, 792 days ago in 2024.

02:16:08.560 --> 02:16:11.560
You know, if they lose today, it's elimination.

02:16:11.760 --> 02:16:14.760
It's Jack losing two of the favorite players during the transfer period.

02:16:14.960 --> 02:16:18.960
It's going from being the SI Grand Finalists and winning in a vote time

02:16:19.160 --> 02:16:21.760
that was crazy to missing the next major.

02:16:21.760 --> 02:16:29.160
It is a massive low when you've reached such a high. Yeah, only a few months before and also superstars

02:16:29.440 --> 02:16:34.740
Superstars about same secret are full of them. You know, no, no particular. Yeah, Mowgli

02:16:34.960 --> 02:16:41.280
But even even citizen back in the day was a superstar G2 having such these players and that cover player not a major would feel wrong

02:16:41.960 --> 02:16:46.440
That's the risk today for team secret because of their group stage performance

02:16:46.440 --> 02:16:50.240
They've ended up starting out in the low bracket, you know losing losing that game

02:16:50.240 --> 02:16:53.840
Ultimately, it's rebels, is what cost them and then put them in this position.

02:16:53.840 --> 02:16:57.680
Previous when we talked about Seeker, we talked about their two new pickups and how people were kind of

02:16:57.680 --> 02:17:02.400
disgusting that they would have lost the transfer window. I feel like people were kind of saying the same

02:17:02.400 --> 02:17:07.040
about that. If you did too, Jack, right? East of the day were the big losers of the last transfer window.

02:17:07.040 --> 02:17:10.320
Looking at this now, Leia, with their two new pickups, do you agree with us?

02:17:10.320 --> 02:17:14.080
I think the stats are showing that Jack was right in a way, that it's going to start for

02:17:14.080 --> 02:17:17.840
these players because I do think that they had potential. I think Hova was looking a lot of promises

02:17:17.840 --> 02:17:27.840
I think that that shot especially was a stand-up player for the Genji roster, along with Skye and Neko, but it just doesn't seem to work.

02:17:27.840 --> 02:17:32.840
Was it really the players they needed when they had so many more options on the table during the transfer window?

02:17:32.840 --> 02:17:40.840
When you had so many tier 2 rookies, when VP got Rorik from DK for example, there were talents available,

02:17:40.840 --> 02:17:46.840
and I'm not saying that that shot and Halva are not talents, I'm just saying that so far, these two new recruits on the set have started.

02:17:46.840 --> 02:17:52.760
doesn't seem to click and so either this is wake up time either they should really be annoyed and not

02:17:52.760 --> 02:17:57.960
having picked up the best players. There are some good signs Jack but you need to tell me about some

02:17:57.960 --> 02:18:02.360
more positive stuff about Fnatic. Yeah because you've been going on the run non-stop about Fnatic.

02:18:02.360 --> 02:18:07.320
Do you know what? I actually worked out a win probability cycle for Fnatic and let's show you

02:18:07.320 --> 02:18:12.120
it because for Fnatic most of the round goes really well. As you get through the threat

02:18:12.120 --> 02:18:16.760
phase, the setup phase, the action phase, all goes pretty well. Quite high win probability,

02:18:16.760 --> 02:18:24.560
and then it hits crunch time and this is the bit where fanatics start playing not to lose rather than playing to win.

02:18:24.560 --> 02:18:29.360
In fact, let's not just show you graphic, let's show you a clip as well of a game that fanatic lost.

02:18:29.360 --> 02:18:38.360
They lost this game convincingly against G2 and in reality it's a game where they basically had top-floor control.

02:18:38.360 --> 02:18:45.560
They had side control. They were setting themselves up with an execute. No problem, 5 vs 4, man advantage.

02:18:45.560 --> 02:18:49.560
Everything's perfect, right? Everything is absolutely perfect, right?

02:18:49.560 --> 02:18:53.560
Apart from when they get to the post-plant scenario, with G2 having four players alive,

02:18:53.560 --> 02:18:56.560
where are they hauling the post-plant from? Ying, outside, passively.

02:18:56.560 --> 02:18:59.560
Player inside of the room there, very, very passively.

02:18:59.560 --> 02:19:03.560
The player's upstairs, holding the post-plant, so, so, so, so passively.

02:19:03.560 --> 02:19:05.560
This is what I mean about playing not to lose.

02:19:05.560 --> 02:19:07.560
No one's being the diffuser there.

02:19:07.560 --> 02:19:11.560
Rather than playing twin, exactly. Look how Ying dies here, very, very easily.

02:19:11.560 --> 02:19:13.560
Don't get spotted on the drone, flanking.

02:19:13.560 --> 02:19:20.000
They managed to kill the diffuser. They know doki swanking who's taking control of that doorway nobody because they're playing passively

02:19:20.120 --> 02:19:22.940
Nobody wants to be the man to step up to win the round for his team

02:19:22.940 --> 02:19:23.640
Oh my god

02:19:23.640 --> 02:19:26.640
The sledge just allows the sense to die and then the sledge dies themselves

02:19:26.720 --> 02:19:31.760
This is what I mean about them just sitting trying to wait out somebody else will be the one to win the round

02:19:31.880 --> 02:19:36.680
Nobody's taking ownership. Nobody's going to win in the round, but the 80% was so good

02:19:36.680 --> 02:19:40.800
That's rough. The last 20% when it gets to crunch time when it gets to play into win the round

02:19:40.800 --> 02:19:45.360
That's why they seem to struggle time and time and time it hurts not today Leo

02:19:45.360 --> 02:19:48.720
No, it hurts. It's just hurt because they do everything they do the hot was good

02:19:49.720 --> 02:19:56.400
They do the hot pot well that the simple part of just covering that it's just not done ownership is a problem

02:19:56.640 --> 02:20:00.200
Take a deep breath. We're not gonna crash out. I trust in them. I trust in them

02:20:00.200 --> 02:20:02.760
Okay, we're gonna be fine and we're gonna look at the map feature

02:20:02.760 --> 02:20:06.800
Okay, we're gonna see where the series will be taken to which three maps are selected for this matchup

02:20:06.800 --> 02:20:09.240
So the first one that we're going to be seeing is Lair.

02:20:09.240 --> 02:20:10.720
Yeah, Fnatic are going to pick into Lair.

02:20:10.720 --> 02:20:12.640
This has been a map that they actually won this stage.

02:20:12.640 --> 02:20:13.680
I think it was against Heretics.

02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:15.120
It's a map they've liked for a long time.

02:20:15.120 --> 02:20:18.120
It's generally a map that they leave open inside of the map.

02:20:18.120 --> 02:20:19.680
Vito, of course, is Team Secret.

02:20:19.680 --> 02:20:21.560
We've seen them play that map a lot.

02:20:21.560 --> 02:20:22.840
The one that's the worry for me

02:20:22.840 --> 02:20:24.720
is the fact that Team Secret have been allowed to play

02:20:24.720 --> 02:20:27.440
Shallow because Team Secret's a map they absolutely

02:20:27.440 --> 02:20:29.640
love in times of Shallow, but it's a map Fnatic

02:20:29.640 --> 02:20:32.120
absolutely hate at the same time.

02:20:32.120 --> 02:20:34.240
So they never seem to let it through in the veto.

02:20:34.240 --> 02:20:36.160
I think Fnatic are getting exposed a little bit

02:20:36.160 --> 02:20:54.160
I'm not sure that's going to be enough to step up against in secret. I look at some of the signs here and I look at some secrets starting in defense against a team that struggles to finish the rounds. I think that is a very important one. I look at Chalet, a team where the individuals on the server secrets are known to have some of the best gunners in the world.

02:20:54.160 --> 02:20:58.000
when I look at Team Secret starting in defense against a team that struggles to finish the

02:20:58.000 --> 02:21:02.000
rounds. I think that is a very important one. I look at Chalet, a team where the individuals

02:21:02.000 --> 02:21:06.320
on the server secret are known to have some of the best gunners in the world. Noah Mowgli,

02:21:06.320 --> 02:21:10.960
Evan Citizen to a degree. These are players that will really be allowed to be completely

02:21:10.960 --> 02:21:14.880
free roaming on Chalet where most of the gunfights are the key to victory. And then

02:21:14.880 --> 02:21:18.480
you go on the last one, Bank, the one where they had the longest standing win streak ever.

02:21:19.200 --> 02:21:21.760
Wow. That is a gamble of a map, Dito.

02:21:21.760 --> 02:21:23.760
I think it's getting exposed

02:21:23.760 --> 02:21:24.760
just a little bit in this

02:21:24.760 --> 02:21:25.760
veto. And I like what you're

02:21:25.760 --> 02:21:26.760
saying there because that's

02:21:26.760 --> 02:21:27.760
what we see in these best

02:21:27.760 --> 02:21:28.760
of threes, right? Like the

02:21:28.760 --> 02:21:29.760
teams that have the more

02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:30.760
depth will continue inside

02:21:30.760 --> 02:21:31.760
these records, especially

02:21:31.760 --> 02:21:32.760
here in the lower record as

02:21:32.760 --> 02:21:34.760
well. But it's time for more

02:21:34.760 --> 02:21:36.760
chaos. Time to send another

02:21:36.760 --> 02:21:37.760
team home. Time this one to

02:21:37.760 --> 02:21:39.760
send this one to ace and

02:21:39.760 --> 02:21:41.760
this. Thank you very much

02:21:41.760 --> 02:21:43.760
and indeed it is and Tim

02:21:43.760 --> 02:21:45.760
for the series where I

02:21:45.760 --> 02:21:46.760
think it's hard to really

02:21:46.760 --> 02:21:48.760
call which way it goes. I

02:21:48.760 --> 02:21:50.760
want to say secret. But you

02:21:50.760 --> 02:21:54.200
you've heard of the desk speaking about fanatic. They could do this, right?

02:21:55.080 --> 02:21:59.400
Well, until they show me that they can do it, I'm fully back secret for this one. Sorry,

02:21:59.400 --> 02:22:05.480
fanatic, I've got to say. But the last performance we saw from them, it was a rough watch. It was

02:22:05.480 --> 02:22:10.200
not good. We're going to have to have seen major changes, major improvements before this

02:22:10.200 --> 02:22:15.480
today. Secret, yes, have been on a roller coaster ride. I know that I've been one of the first

02:22:15.480 --> 02:22:19.680
I'm not sure that they will

02:22:19.680 --> 02:22:21.680
finish top four. Um in the

02:22:21.680 --> 02:22:23.280
AML kickoff that we might not

02:22:23.280 --> 02:22:25.280
see them at Salt Lake. I still

02:22:25.280 --> 02:22:27.280
back what I'm saying with that.

02:22:27.280 --> 02:22:29.280
Do I think that they've been

02:22:29.280 --> 02:22:30.780
comfortably better than

02:22:30.780 --> 02:22:32.780
fanatic in what we've seen?

02:22:32.780 --> 02:22:34.780
Yes, I do. Um so it's my back

02:22:34.780 --> 02:22:36.280
secret for the win on this

02:22:36.280 --> 02:22:37.280
one. All right. Let's get

02:22:37.280 --> 02:22:38.280
into it and find out which

02:22:38.280 --> 02:22:39.280
way it goes. Then shall we

02:22:39.280 --> 02:22:40.280
kicking things off with

02:22:40.280 --> 02:22:42.280
operator bands as you can

02:22:42.280 --> 02:22:43.280
see secret start on the

02:23:13.280 --> 02:23:19.440
taking away the Walden Isle. Absolutely fine. You know there are breaches that need to happen on there

02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:26.080
but what they do by doing that is expose themselves to a lot of other utility that they are going to

02:23:26.080 --> 02:23:31.360
have to play into. It means that the mirror is up. It means that the Azami is up. The Goyo is

02:23:31.360 --> 02:23:37.280
available. The Clash is available and that's just the start of it. The Aruni is still a bit.

02:23:37.280 --> 02:23:41.600
You know there's so much utility now that they're going to have to play into and play through.

02:23:41.600 --> 02:23:47.200
That's fine, but you've got to have a plan for it, you've got to be ready for it and you can't let the

02:23:48.000 --> 02:23:53.680
round be wasted away in that way. You know, and immediately look at what's being brought along.

02:23:53.680 --> 02:23:58.320
Did I mention a Zarmine? Did I mention Clash? They're both on the bone. We've got the bone,

02:23:58.320 --> 02:24:03.360
more utility. They've got the Tachanka, the Nile. There's an awful lot there. You know,

02:24:03.360 --> 02:24:08.640
and this is a map where those creatures can be dealt with. If they are electrified,

02:24:08.640 --> 02:24:12.880
You want mask wall go underneath and open it up. You've got the damage on side with shotgun

02:24:12.880 --> 02:24:18.320
I add you know, it's not a massive job to do and you could take away

02:24:19.520 --> 02:24:24.080
Things like this army. I know that they'll say the same thing about those army. It doesn't matter. There's army

02:24:24.080 --> 02:24:27.360
You'll play desk and we can go underneath and deal that with their must and they correct

02:24:27.600 --> 02:24:30.320
But let's see how it happens and let's make sure it happens

02:24:31.680 --> 02:24:36.320
All right focus them to muscle to get things off here for deeper eating with a nice long arm

02:24:36.320 --> 02:24:41.320
With that Salma over towards the wall to start getting get opened up before them unless there's a jammer waiting to fight C.

02:24:41.320 --> 02:24:45.320
Very reasonable to assume that you will have a jammer on that wall from the citizen to slow down and push forward.

02:24:45.320 --> 02:24:48.320
Yes, it's not un-preventable as you say. You can get him below and destroy.

02:24:48.320 --> 02:24:50.320
It also, of course, can deal with it in other ways.

02:24:50.320 --> 02:24:55.320
But it does mean that she has to move up a little bit for a truck coming in from below.

02:24:55.320 --> 02:24:58.320
I'm hoping to find someone up above it. I'm hoping he's playing that dance of death right now.

02:24:58.320 --> 02:25:03.320
But you've jumped it down, I cropped it on the other side, but neither has taken any damage so far.

02:25:03.320 --> 02:25:10.280
For now Savage is just going to be playing looking into ops trying to slow down any progress into there

02:25:10.280 --> 02:25:12.980
They have to play the clash there really with having that wall soft

02:25:12.980 --> 02:25:17.000
It gives the view all the way down mezzanine so soon as that clash has been forced away

02:25:17.000 --> 02:25:22.360
It means that essentially secret of giving up mezzanine and unable to play there and need to be careful

02:25:22.760 --> 02:25:27.240
About that rotation so something that they just need to be aware of but savage will stay there for now

02:25:27.240 --> 02:25:30.280
I think later in the round depending what happens remotely in this army

02:25:30.280 --> 02:25:34.920
We might see him drop back to play. We see hot and cold play the shield on the desk quite often

02:25:35.440 --> 02:25:37.600
Reads of great success a lot of the time

02:25:37.600 --> 02:25:43.600
So we might just see Savage get a little bit deeper back into sight or he might even switch over to like the R6 room side

02:25:43.800 --> 02:25:46.960
If there is any attention from Skybridge and that side

02:25:48.240 --> 02:25:50.360
Yeah, really should they've got the clash in mind of course

02:25:50.360 --> 02:25:54.880
It could be a real headache later in the round as we saw Leo speaking about in the desk clearly with this analysis of

02:25:55.160 --> 02:25:57.160
B4's excellent play in the last series

02:25:57.160 --> 02:26:02.160
So far so good though, Savage just kept himself mobile and kept him slow down for a large part of it here.

02:26:02.160 --> 02:26:06.160
Even asking questions, right towards three stairs, towards the entryway through.

02:26:06.160 --> 02:26:11.160
Now looking too bad and quite a lot of stools still to work on the side of Secret in the form of the Chanka.

02:26:11.160 --> 02:26:14.160
No Secret remains in the course of Citizen as that was used earlier on.

02:26:14.160 --> 02:26:17.160
But Noah's going to get first blood, so that's Deadshot falling down.

02:26:17.160 --> 02:26:20.160
Pretty crucial first kill. Was it getting one back though? One apiece.

02:26:20.160 --> 02:26:24.160
Yep, Citizen is the one to go for 3-45 seconds left to go.

02:26:24.160 --> 02:26:28.560
left to go. If you remember beginning of the round I spoke about time. I spoke about dealing with

02:26:28.560 --> 02:26:33.360
utility, getting through it and creating yourself the opportunities to get in and plant. They haven't

02:26:33.360 --> 02:26:37.760
done that yet. 35 seconds left to go and time is ticking down. They're starting to pressure

02:26:37.760 --> 02:26:43.120
onto bathroom. We can see the Deimos track is there as well. Direct triad, wizard on to Noah.

02:26:43.120 --> 02:26:47.440
That kind of suit, Fnatic Noah's over. Manage us to pick up Morgan. That's this army gone

02:26:47.440 --> 02:26:52.480
as well. This is good from Fnatic. Last 20 seconds the views are going down, creating problems,

02:26:52.480 --> 02:26:56.760
The bully in that clash, but look at Savage, manages to get the kill onto the Blackbeard.

02:26:56.760 --> 02:27:01.320
He's actually going to go and get his shield, relocate, and see what he can do in this one

02:27:01.320 --> 02:27:03.320
versus two with the user down.

02:27:03.320 --> 02:27:07.040
A little bit much from Halber there, like you know the folks playing are completely understand

02:27:07.040 --> 02:27:10.240
the play and pressure, but being so broad from the rest of your team means there's

02:27:10.240 --> 02:27:11.840
no chance of a guaranteed trade.

02:27:11.840 --> 02:27:15.600
However, the last two players left standing, Croc and Deepak, are playing this properly.

02:27:15.600 --> 02:27:20.160
The Villas with the spots go to get underneath the ad, go outside and play at range.

02:27:20.160 --> 02:27:22.160
to see where it's coming from.

02:27:22.160 --> 02:27:23.160
And there we go. Both players

02:27:23.160 --> 02:27:25.160
bring into action. They get the

02:27:25.160 --> 02:27:26.160
down they need and do my eyes

02:27:26.160 --> 02:27:28.160
to see if he did around just get

02:27:28.160 --> 02:27:30.160
better. The longer it went on

02:27:30.160 --> 02:27:32.160
for fanatic. Weird right? That

02:27:32.160 --> 02:27:34.160
was certainly an answer to

02:27:34.160 --> 02:27:36.160
Jack's graph that he showed us

02:27:36.160 --> 02:27:38.160
beforehand. And there certainly

02:27:38.160 --> 02:27:41.160
wasn't a drop off in the crunch

02:27:41.160 --> 02:27:42.160
time of the round. Then that

02:27:42.160 --> 02:27:43.160
was good from fanatic and you

02:27:43.160 --> 02:27:45.160
know, fresh was absolutely

02:27:45.160 --> 02:27:46.160
right in what he was saying.

02:27:46.160 --> 02:27:47.160
We've seen that repeatedly from

02:27:47.160 --> 02:27:49.160
them throughout kickoff. He's

02:27:49.160 --> 02:27:52.840
out kickoff. He's getting themselves into good positions and struggling to cause it out,

02:27:52.840 --> 02:27:57.840
but have Fnatic found the answers? They certainly did in round one. Like I say, I asked questions

02:27:57.840 --> 02:28:02.320
at the beginning. You know, are the electro bros the correct ban? Is that going to leave

02:28:02.320 --> 02:28:08.040
them susceptible to that other utility, which did get brought along heavily? But they had

02:28:08.040 --> 02:28:12.200
the answers. They found the kills created crossfires dealt with that utility, didn't

02:28:12.200 --> 02:28:15.840
really suffer to it and got the plant down with 20 seconds left to go. It was very

02:28:15.840 --> 02:28:16.840
Nice room for nothing.

02:28:18.240 --> 02:28:21.800
It's this round one, there's still plenty more to go of course, but

02:28:22.560 --> 02:28:26.840
actually the fans at home can start to more buoyed by what they've seen to start things off.

02:28:27.280 --> 02:28:30.920
Round two, we're going to find ourselves heading down stairs just a little bit here.

02:28:31.320 --> 02:28:34.160
Of course, that means we're going to find ourselves probably holding on this first floor,

02:28:34.400 --> 02:28:35.680
second floor, whatever you want to call it.

02:28:35.680 --> 02:28:37.600
First floor, it'll stay in the game, we'll go first floor,

02:28:37.920 --> 02:28:39.880
holding up there and looking to try and hold some angles.

02:28:39.880 --> 02:28:42.960
At least we'll have room for that to slow down the aggression

02:28:43.160 --> 02:28:44.960
coming out of the side of the nothing.

02:28:44.960 --> 02:28:48.960
There's some progattor right back in towards sight, at which case it comes about trying to hold on.

02:28:48.960 --> 02:28:53.960
The dear life as the heavens come down above you and all the pressure starts to mount upon the side of the Nasty.

02:28:53.960 --> 02:28:57.960
To that end, they've got a lot of utility and information for this team.

02:28:57.960 --> 02:29:01.960
I'm looking at the KAB, the DayMars, and of course them towards Solid Snake.

02:29:01.960 --> 02:29:04.960
Yeah, good luck to anyone on the side of Secret not being inside of sight here.

02:29:06.960 --> 02:29:09.960
Yeah, they're going to be, uh, they're going to be tracked and chased down.

02:29:09.960 --> 02:29:11.960
Absolutely no doubt about it.

02:29:11.960 --> 02:29:18.960
it. We see the breach coming

02:29:19.060 --> 02:29:21.960
on through immediately, which

02:29:22.060 --> 02:29:23.960
we would expect. So again, good

02:29:24.060 --> 02:29:25.960
quick progress. Nice and

02:29:26.060 --> 02:29:26.960
decisive siege coming in from

02:29:27.060 --> 02:29:28.960
fanatic looking to just make it

02:29:29.060 --> 02:29:29.960
very difficult to hold on to

02:29:30.060 --> 02:29:30.960
too much of this map and

02:29:31.060 --> 02:29:32.960
looking at the effect that it's

02:29:33.060 --> 02:29:33.960
hard. We need to do is look

02:29:34.060 --> 02:29:34.960
across the bottom right of

02:29:35.060 --> 02:29:36.960
your screen. You'll see that

02:29:37.060 --> 02:29:38.960
citizen is the only one left

02:29:39.060 --> 02:29:40.960
out in the map. And as I

02:29:40.960 --> 02:29:46.220
And he will now try to hold those yellow stairs. You've got savage over on blue stairs other than that

02:29:46.440 --> 02:29:50.560
Everybody's back inside good quick progress from finatic within a minute

02:29:51.560 --> 02:29:54.080
And I'm out of all the game when you got these three operators on side

02:29:54.080 --> 02:29:57.240
I feel like you've got to make it process right a lot of progress story

02:29:57.240 --> 02:30:00.760
Otherwise what's the point if you say you two minutes to clear them out with these three on side

02:30:00.760 --> 02:30:03.720
It would be devastating because you're investing a lot of your thing

02:30:03.720 --> 02:30:07.780
It was like a power budget in the five operators if you bring along and you kind of put in that budget in different parts

02:30:07.780 --> 02:30:11.300
the round. If you're looking at robo hunting and clearing up then after being a large investor

02:30:11.300 --> 02:30:14.500
with their power in this round, they don't have as much for an execute. They won't have

02:30:14.500 --> 02:30:18.340
like a grim on side. Then you've got a lion on side. Other things that make the execute

02:30:18.340 --> 02:30:22.820
itself that little bit stronger. They're very much blind. Overwhelm, get kills early out

02:30:22.820 --> 02:30:26.180
on the road and then hopefully just win through Sheen numbers late one in my opinion without

02:30:26.180 --> 02:30:29.340
them to set it up. So far, they've already given the side away. They've lost the

02:30:29.340 --> 02:30:34.060
Yo-Kai's on that side. That's a real sting and Deepak comes in for the second.

02:30:34.060 --> 02:30:37.260
Biggie Thieve running around on Daymoss. I didn't know I needed him.

02:30:37.260 --> 02:30:40.100
I was just going to say it's not a familiar sight, really, is it?

02:30:40.100 --> 02:30:44.140
Don't take that kind of aggressive look and taking the warden out,

02:30:44.140 --> 02:30:45.820
but he dealt with it brilliantly.

02:30:45.820 --> 02:30:47.780
Deadshot manages to pick up Morgally as well.

02:30:47.780 --> 02:30:50.020
Citizen gets one back onto Hauver,

02:30:50.020 --> 02:30:51.900
so it leaves us now in a four versus two,

02:30:51.900 --> 02:30:54.540
but surely a round of fanatic can close out.

02:30:54.540 --> 02:30:57.500
We're getting into that critical crunch time once again.

02:30:57.500 --> 02:31:01.420
So let's see how it progresses for them over the next 40 seconds.

02:31:01.420 --> 02:31:03.300
Are they aware of Noah's presence?

02:31:03.300 --> 02:31:05.740
It looks to me like they are.

02:31:05.740 --> 02:31:06.740
They're waiting.

02:31:06.740 --> 02:31:17.740
They find the kill and that is going to be four versus one effectively now. Deadshot with a double, closes it out, takes Citizen down and Fnatic with a double of their own, 2-0.

02:31:18.740 --> 02:31:25.740
A classic not seeing a player lay down the ground because of your gun. That is unfortunate. That's the way the cookie grumbles sometimes.

02:31:25.740 --> 02:31:30.740
Another really good round that, like I said, was a bit of a strange one. I'm not shocked that we're having a timeout coming in.

02:31:30.740 --> 02:31:35.740
It is from TC. Crit not from shifters as you're seeing in the top left. Forget that. I've dated for you in a second.

02:31:35.740 --> 02:31:42.940
But like I said, a lot of the power budget in that round from Panathic went into Roma hunting and hopefully getting kills out on the road to overwhelm them.

02:31:42.940 --> 02:31:51.940
So when it came around to like a 5v3 on site or a 4v3, whatever, they would just have the numbers to overcome them because they didn't really have a lot used to see to actually execute with and secret.

02:31:51.940 --> 02:31:54.040
Like don't play a very heavy role game.

02:31:54.040 --> 02:32:02.940
They do fall back, but they still play aggressive and it just gives a couple of kills over towards the side of Panathic who can then capitalize and accelerate the advantage in that round.

02:32:02.940 --> 02:32:07.420
really good stuff, but can't help feel like secret and making get a little bit easy for them.

02:32:13.420 --> 02:32:17.900
It feels like it's been a little bit of the story of some of Secret's performances so far.

02:32:18.460 --> 02:32:22.060
You know, I've mentioned this kind of roller coaster ride that we've seen them on,

02:32:22.060 --> 02:32:27.180
and it just seems to continue for them. We're very early on, yet we're only two rounds in.

02:32:27.180 --> 02:32:31.340
We know that just there's a plan of an early time out if he feels that it is needed.

02:32:31.340 --> 02:32:36.260
So, you know, let's see what he can turn around there and where the secret can get themselves into this

02:32:36.260 --> 02:32:40.760
I feel like it's probably more a slow start from secret rather than it is

02:32:41.340 --> 02:32:46.600
You know, just not switching on at all. I don't think we're gonna see Jonathan run away with this

02:32:46.600 --> 02:32:49.720
But looking at the positives so far for dramatic

02:32:49.720 --> 02:32:57.040
They are playing really nicely over those first two rounds the problems that they've dealt with and how they've picked those positions apart

02:32:57.040 --> 02:33:03.420
We just saw the replay of deep at dealing with the warden on filtration stairs. Absolutely beautiful stuff again

02:33:03.420 --> 02:33:07.860
I'd say the same as I said for shifters. Is it anything, you know, like meta shifting?

02:33:07.860 --> 02:33:13.220
Is it anything completely like, you know, mythical or unreal and unusual? No

02:33:13.300 --> 02:33:20.100
Is it the basics done really well and needs to take down a day most tracker player on the window and take the fight with the Vendetta?

02:33:20.820 --> 02:33:26.620
Beautiful stuff, you know, I love to see and it's done fantastically well and it's got the rewards that it deserves

02:33:26.620 --> 02:33:33.620
I'm going to continue on with

02:33:33.620 --> 02:33:35.620
a little bit of early attention

02:33:35.620 --> 02:33:37.620
towards ops. I think it was just

02:33:37.620 --> 02:33:39.620
there being sent in, but. Yeah

02:33:39.620 --> 02:33:41.620
you can have the people barricades

02:33:41.620 --> 02:33:42.620
still up. There we go. There's

02:33:42.620 --> 02:33:44.620
the attention towards those

02:33:44.620 --> 02:33:46.620
ups that I was expecting. Just

02:33:46.620 --> 02:33:47.620
going to be working from that

02:33:47.620 --> 02:33:48.620
repellence. A nice little angle.

02:33:48.620 --> 02:33:49.620
You can take that one away.

02:33:49.620 --> 02:33:50.620
Give it a whirling round. If

02:33:50.620 --> 02:33:51.620
you haven't before and you're

02:33:51.620 --> 02:33:53.620
trying to clear it off. You

02:33:53.620 --> 02:34:00.620
give it a whirling round if you haven't before and you're trying to clear out off so you have trouble winning those gunfights on to that double door.

02:34:00.620 --> 02:34:07.620
It's too easy, Citizen. Sold himself. He steps out into the doorway and Wizard comes him down with ease.

02:34:07.620 --> 02:34:13.620
Noah is there for the trade, but then, however, is there for the trade back four versus three.

02:34:13.620 --> 02:34:20.620
And again, something fanatic of him doing well is keeping themselves in an advantage on top of things

02:34:20.620 --> 02:34:24.700
keeping themselves with those extra men when they have them they use them love to

02:34:24.700 --> 02:34:29.540
see this so far four versus three a minute four to into the round and again

02:34:29.540 --> 02:34:35.100
another key point of fanatic success so far has been able to work quickly

02:34:35.100 --> 02:34:40.700
and been able to make their way through it which I think that's just going to have a position there so they maybe can't rely on that

02:34:40.700 --> 02:34:45.060
I think they were hoping to stop anybody walking into bathroom but it's just caught the door here

02:34:45.060 --> 02:34:53.760
I think it's honestly going to matter as Deadshot manages to find one onto Savage, 4 vs 2, now 4 vs 1,

02:34:53.760 --> 02:34:58.960
Deadshot's playing with some serious confidence, we see Morgan managed to take him down, another was down,

02:34:58.960 --> 02:35:06.660
but however, is there for the final kill and Secret's tactical timeout has not done them any favours in that round?

02:35:06.660 --> 02:35:07.760
It's 3-0.

02:35:09.860 --> 02:35:12.460
Sorry, it seemed you still by yourself but that was fantastic radio commentary.

02:35:12.460 --> 02:35:22.460
the game again. Well, you

02:35:22.460 --> 02:35:24.460
will do eventually this. You

02:35:24.460 --> 02:35:26.460
will do one day. Um I was good.

02:35:26.460 --> 02:35:28.460
You know, you're missing a bit

02:35:28.460 --> 02:35:30.460
of a treat really fanatic again.

02:35:30.460 --> 02:35:32.460
Another good round there in

02:35:32.460 --> 02:35:34.460
round three. Um you know the

02:35:34.460 --> 02:35:36.460
way that they've particularly

02:35:36.460 --> 02:35:38.460
impressive there was the

02:35:38.460 --> 02:35:40.460
trading that we had in

02:35:40.460 --> 02:35:45.980
Impressive there was the trading that they did every time they lost somebody. There was an answer coming back the other way

02:35:45.980 --> 02:35:49.180
It means that secret always in bad positions

02:35:49.620 --> 02:35:55.620
Not necessarily, you know, that's in their wrong positions. It was that's fanatic of put them in bad positions

02:35:55.620 --> 02:36:01.220
They've put themselves in spots to always be able to you know, create a lose-lose for them

02:36:01.220 --> 02:36:04.260
So yeah, maybe you get the kill, but we're gonna find you as well

02:36:04.260 --> 02:36:06.580
We're always gonna get that trade so great team play

02:36:06.580 --> 02:36:13.580
the. Um from the attic. They're

02:36:13.580 --> 02:36:16.580
three zero leaves us into

02:36:16.580 --> 02:36:18.580
round four, and we're going to

02:36:18.580 --> 02:36:21.580
be through the third choice site.

02:36:21.580 --> 02:36:23.580
This time around, I'll be honest.

02:36:23.580 --> 02:36:25.580
At the minute I don't hold out

02:36:25.580 --> 02:36:27.580
too much hope 14 secret on this

02:36:27.580 --> 02:36:29.580
that given the struggled with

02:36:29.580 --> 02:36:31.580
the primary choices so far. This

02:36:31.580 --> 02:36:34.580
one is going to be a little bit

02:36:34.580 --> 02:36:39.580
I'm back there. There we go.

02:36:39.580 --> 02:36:41.580
We've got a four man

02:36:41.580 --> 02:36:44.580
Commitment upon top floor does

02:36:44.580 --> 02:36:45.580
As we would expect and it's going

02:36:45.580 --> 02:36:50.580
to be the Bunk site.

02:36:50.580 --> 02:36:52.580
Before okay. Let's get things

02:36:52.580 --> 02:36:54.580
going. So not on this site, but

02:36:54.580 --> 02:36:55.580
on the mascot of this site is

02:36:55.580 --> 02:36:56.580
tried to hold onto top floor.

02:36:56.580 --> 02:36:57.580
It's just not work for them.

02:36:57.580 --> 02:36:58.580
So I expect more of the same

02:36:58.580 --> 02:36:59.580
from fanatic and try to get

02:36:59.580 --> 02:37:00.580
their way in there and take

02:37:00.580 --> 02:37:01.580
them apart. How many of a

02:37:01.580 --> 02:37:02.580
secret are upon the top floor

02:37:02.580 --> 02:37:03.580
at the moment? We've got

02:37:03.580 --> 02:37:05.780
Okay, now let's see how things build out from here then.

02:37:05.780 --> 02:37:07.020
Now, for Fnatic, obviously,

02:37:07.020 --> 02:37:08.740
we've seen them, like, lean to shields a little bit more.

02:37:08.740 --> 02:37:09.980
Harvath played the Blackbeard earlier,

02:37:09.980 --> 02:37:11.980
he's on the Monty in this round as well.

02:37:11.980 --> 02:37:14.820
A little bit nervous when I saw it, I half get it.

02:37:14.820 --> 02:37:17.220
He did out some interesting moments on Kafe the other day,

02:37:17.220 --> 02:37:19.100
especially just being blindsided

02:37:19.100 --> 02:37:20.420
and having not even a dog's chance

02:37:20.420 --> 02:37:22.380
in hell of winning a gunfight.

02:37:22.380 --> 02:37:24.020
Looking him on shields here does, of course,

02:37:24.020 --> 02:37:25.620
seem a little bit extra security,

02:37:25.620 --> 02:37:28.340
the extra information that you can feed up back of it.

02:37:28.340 --> 02:37:29.620
So far, it's getting in the results

02:37:29.620 --> 02:37:30.460
that they've been looking for,

02:37:30.460 --> 02:37:32.140
so no major complaints about it.

02:37:32.140 --> 02:37:33.380
And this is a bit of a different component

02:37:33.380 --> 02:37:38.340
it looks very esquipocus back in round two it was more focused on the Rome games so

02:37:39.060 --> 02:37:42.740
if we're seeing them change rounds around and try different strats all the time imagine our secret

02:37:42.740 --> 02:37:49.940
field dealing with that. The possibility is going to be key for team secret and to be honest with

02:37:49.940 --> 02:37:54.180
you getting around is going to be key for team secret right now um three zero down and this

02:37:54.180 --> 02:37:58.100
one's running away from them quickly it's not their map choice or not the end of the world

02:37:58.100 --> 02:38:03.740
And the death they talk about those map bands and how, you know, Bank and Shallow both gave a team secret.

02:38:03.740 --> 02:38:07.300
So, but I'm sure they're not going to want to be looking at it like that.

02:38:07.300 --> 02:38:10.260
Because the thing, the problem for me is I feel like a secret

02:38:10.260 --> 02:38:15.900
I struggled a little bit through the kickoff when they've been put under pressure with this new roster.

02:38:15.900 --> 02:38:20.100
And so, you know, it's not uncommon for a new roster while you're kind of jelly and working together.

02:38:20.100 --> 02:38:26.500
But do you want to go into map 2 and 3 having to win them if, you know, you've struggled a little bit under pressure

02:38:26.500 --> 02:38:34.020
Things are not getting any easier for them here as kill after kill after kill reigns in 4 and 0 for D for Dpeck

02:38:34.020 --> 02:38:39.940
We've got deadshot on 7 and 3 with it on 4 and 2 it's there's only crocs who's not been involved

02:38:39.940 --> 02:38:44.040
And he hasn't taken a death yet, so it's not even the end of the world that he doesn't have a kill

02:38:44.980 --> 02:38:46.980
He's just playing the pasta fist this game Tim

02:38:47.700 --> 02:38:51.900
He's just showing out and that's all he's really got to do because the rest of his team

02:38:51.900 --> 02:38:54.300
Again, everything done, which is excellent to see.

02:38:54.300 --> 02:38:56.300
That's their third entry in the row as well.

02:38:56.300 --> 02:38:59.100
It's not like a case where C grow back into the game.

02:38:59.100 --> 02:39:00.780
I'd say they're still wilting here,

02:39:00.780 --> 02:39:02.780
and Fnatic are just building in confidence

02:39:02.780 --> 02:39:05.260
as they add round after round to their tally.

02:39:07.580 --> 02:39:09.820
This is just going to have a little peek around the corner,

02:39:09.820 --> 02:39:10.940
but can't get it done.

02:39:10.940 --> 02:39:12.460
Citizen manages to find his man.

02:39:12.460 --> 02:39:13.740
But again, what have I said?

02:39:13.740 --> 02:39:14.940
What have I said about the trades?

02:39:14.940 --> 02:39:16.620
And they continue to do it to them.

02:39:16.620 --> 02:39:19.020
Citizen taking down seconds after.

02:39:19.020 --> 02:39:21.740
However, shield on back gets the plant down.

02:39:21.740 --> 02:39:27.500
Even at this third choice site, they've been able to go in here fanatic pick apart that top floor defense

02:39:27.660 --> 02:39:31.580
And now no one is all that is left tries to have a look around the corner

02:39:31.660 --> 02:39:36.220
Dpex there with the pistol and fanatic again have completely controlled that round

02:39:38.060 --> 02:39:42.860
It's just building a bit like I say that confidence is building the looking more and more in control as each round passes by

02:39:43.500 --> 02:39:45.740
And they think there's this very much secret in three four

02:39:45.740 --> 02:39:47.900
They've now lost three different sites as well

02:39:47.900 --> 02:39:51.500
we played second floor a couple of times here as well. Of course, haven't seen the outcome

02:39:51.500 --> 02:39:56.940
of that change. It's just a little bit concerning because they've got to find a way to bounce

02:39:56.940 --> 02:40:01.100
back into this. Yeah, I expect in the attack inside of Lairday will do better. But like

02:40:01.100 --> 02:40:04.420
we were saying back in our previous map, the mental damage that it does, the fact

02:40:04.420 --> 02:40:07.100
that you don't have any breathing room going into that second half. If you go in into

02:40:07.100 --> 02:40:11.420
it six zero down, I'm just not feeling super optimistic for secret right now. This

02:40:11.420 --> 02:40:13.420
that's going to be a good

02:40:13.420 --> 02:40:15.420
chance to get back to the

02:40:15.420 --> 02:40:16.420
next round. This could be a

02:40:16.420 --> 02:40:17.420
bruising next couple of rounds

02:40:17.420 --> 02:40:19.420
as well. I agree with you. I

02:40:19.420 --> 02:40:21.420
agree with you right now. And

02:40:21.420 --> 02:40:23.420
you know, we asked about the

02:40:23.420 --> 02:40:25.420
mental resilience of rebels and

02:40:25.420 --> 02:40:26.420
we're going to be asking about

02:40:26.420 --> 02:40:28.420
the same. Then when it comes

02:40:28.420 --> 02:40:30.420
to secret, you know how is

02:40:30.420 --> 02:40:31.420
their ability to bounce back?

02:40:31.420 --> 02:40:32.420
We have seen it. Don't get

02:40:32.420 --> 02:40:34.420
me wrong. We have seen them

02:40:34.420 --> 02:40:36.420
come back. Don't forget from a

02:40:36.420 --> 02:40:39.420
61 deficit here in the ML

02:41:09.420 --> 02:41:13.220
getting carried away. Yeah, I

02:41:13.220 --> 02:41:14.580
always say there's a lot of

02:41:14.580 --> 02:41:15.920
stage to play, but fanatic

02:41:15.920 --> 02:41:17.220
have looked now and day

02:41:17.220 --> 02:41:18.420
different in the first four

02:41:18.420 --> 02:41:19.920
rounds compared to what we

02:41:19.920 --> 02:41:21.420
saw in their last outing.

02:41:21.420 --> 02:41:23.420
The last day in this we had

02:41:23.420 --> 02:41:25.420
default cameras being left up

02:41:25.420 --> 02:41:28.420
and I'm not talking just on

02:41:28.420 --> 02:41:30.420
their side. I'm talking on

02:41:30.420 --> 02:41:31.420
the other side when they were

02:41:31.420 --> 02:41:32.420
on defense with a default

02:41:32.420 --> 02:41:34.420
camera left up a player

02:41:34.420 --> 02:41:36.420
walked through on the default

02:41:36.420 --> 02:41:38.420
cam and still got two kills

02:41:38.420 --> 02:41:42.020
in that last game, and this time this just seemed a lot more polished.

02:41:43.300 --> 02:41:47.780
They do, and they hopefully it's used into the other side of this map, and also of course into our second.

02:41:48.500 --> 02:41:51.380
It's certainly not going to be a one-and-done. It is their map, it had come in here with a

02:41:51.380 --> 02:41:55.780
lofty lot of counter-prep known what it is to play in up against, and they've got some brilliant ideas.

02:41:55.780 --> 02:41:59.540
Let's see how they end out the half. They're not quite there yet, of course. They've got round five

02:41:59.540 --> 02:42:03.380
and round six to play. But the comp is kind of a bit of a blend really, so it's looking with the

02:42:03.380 --> 02:42:08.140
the clouds that we saw before along with the Monty, but have that Dr. B on side here as

02:42:08.140 --> 02:42:11.300
well as we're pushing moving across towards playing the DMR on that switch.

02:42:11.300 --> 02:42:14.780
So lots of work can work with them really I'd say here Wizards use his getting in and

02:42:14.780 --> 02:42:17.460
getting rid of a lot of these traps that are scattered around. Got to deal with

02:42:17.460 --> 02:42:20.900
the Thorn Racer Blues, got to deal with the Goyo Canisters. There's a lot of things

02:42:20.900 --> 02:42:24.020
here to slow down this fanatic side when they're already a little bit slow because

02:42:24.020 --> 02:42:27.260
of the Monty. Here we go, he's on the march on through.

02:42:27.260 --> 02:42:34.700
Okay, then we're going to see that pressure continuing, I think, from Fnatic here.

02:42:34.700 --> 02:42:38.700
They've got the intel, the last few drones are going in, and they're going to look then

02:42:38.700 --> 02:42:39.700
to take some ground.

02:42:39.700 --> 02:42:45.180
I've just been doing a good bit of work with those shields, and we need to add them to

02:42:45.180 --> 02:42:47.380
go in there, create space, get the fuses down.

02:42:47.380 --> 02:42:51.020
We're going to be looking for a little bit more of that in round five, to which drone

02:42:51.020 --> 02:42:55.340
goes in, just looking to see exactly what's going on around the display window.

02:42:55.340 --> 02:43:00.580
So that maybe gives us a little bit of a suggestion as to where pressure might mount later on deadshot.

02:43:00.580 --> 02:43:02.540
Just saying that answers a little bit far there.

02:43:02.540 --> 02:43:05.940
It takes a little bit of that toxic beard canister probably doesn't need to.

02:43:05.940 --> 02:43:11.940
And on Skybridge they start coming up against the Schumacher canisters of Nerf on the Tachanka.

02:43:13.540 --> 02:43:14.340
Absolutely.

02:43:15.340 --> 02:43:18.940
Again, it's more of that time wasting. Now we're down to this point where what, we've got 60 seconds left.

02:43:18.940 --> 02:43:21.740
So actually, even with the twitch threatening a bunch of that utility early on,

02:43:21.740 --> 02:43:24.940
we're going to roll through the drop zone here by Sneaker to run the cart down.

02:43:24.940 --> 02:43:29.340
but now Fnatic are going to start asking very crucial questions at these main parts of sight.

02:43:29.340 --> 02:43:32.060
This looks like a bit of a distraction really coming in through the master wall as well,

02:43:32.060 --> 02:43:37.180
the one coming in towards Ops, one inside Bathroom, a lot of angles being pushed at once with Deadshot,

02:43:37.180 --> 02:43:41.020
even hailing that smoke goes down to that, approximately Stevens it back out,

02:43:41.020 --> 02:43:42.860
4v4 Tim, final 40 seconds.

02:43:43.900 --> 02:43:48.940
Yeah well done, become the factor here for Fnatic, they have the day most removed,

02:43:48.940 --> 02:43:52.460
a couple of rounds ago obviously they've done some good work with him in the past,

02:43:52.460 --> 02:43:57.460
We've seen it on this site where they've been able to go in on the internet and really sort of looting secret

02:43:57.460 --> 02:44:05.100
They haven't had that opportunity this time and maybe they're gonna start paying the price however manages to find savage 15 seconds left on the clock

02:44:05.100 --> 02:44:11.800
And we've got a three versus three fanatic not really in a position to put this the views of down crocs quiet game

02:44:11.800 --> 02:44:16.380
So far is gonna send in that last logic form just to try and get a bit of intel

02:44:16.380 --> 02:44:21.660
But secret of the deep and they're holding on a beautiful double from citizen crocs gets one traded out

02:44:21.660 --> 02:44:25.260
the game, but it's not going to

02:44:25.360 --> 02:44:25.960
be a good start. We're going to

02:44:26.060 --> 02:44:29.560
have to go a better defense from

02:44:29.660 --> 02:44:31.560
team secret. Much better. And

02:44:31.660 --> 02:44:33.060
again, it came down to that

02:44:33.160 --> 02:44:34.060
time game and one thing that we

02:44:34.160 --> 02:44:35.060
saw at the very start that we

02:44:35.160 --> 02:44:36.060
were a bit worried about the

02:44:36.160 --> 02:44:37.560
amount of store that was on the

02:44:37.660 --> 02:44:39.560
side of secret there really came

02:44:39.660 --> 02:44:40.560
to life. And I think again,

02:44:40.660 --> 02:44:41.560
partly enabled by the fact that

02:44:41.660 --> 02:44:42.560
we also saw fanatic going

02:44:42.660 --> 02:44:43.560
towards a slower comp at the

02:44:43.660 --> 02:44:45.560
same time, and it was just a

02:44:45.660 --> 02:44:46.560
case of how much time can we

02:44:46.660 --> 02:44:47.560
waste and how long does it

02:44:47.660 --> 02:44:48.560
take this Monty to get towards

02:44:48.660 --> 02:44:49.560
a spot where they can

02:44:49.660 --> 02:44:51.560
execute. Excellent stuff. And

02:44:51.660 --> 02:44:55.700
to be there. We're going to

02:44:55.700 --> 02:44:57.600
get a little bit of a chance

02:44:57.700 --> 02:44:58.700
on the board. Secret will be

02:44:58.800 --> 02:44:59.700
buzzing. That's one halber

02:44:59.800 --> 02:45:03.700
recovery, giving him a down 40

02:45:03.800 --> 02:45:06.700
. Okay then. Secret start the

02:45:06.800 --> 02:45:07.700
turnaround here and now it

02:45:07.800 --> 02:45:09.700
feels like if you come away

02:45:09.800 --> 02:45:10.700
with the two four, I said it

02:45:10.800 --> 02:45:11.700
in the last game as well. If

02:45:11.800 --> 02:45:12.700
you know they didn't manage

02:45:12.800 --> 02:45:13.700
to achieve it, but if secret

02:45:13.800 --> 02:45:15.700
come away with the two four

02:45:15.800 --> 02:45:17.700
here, then it's it's

02:45:17.800 --> 02:45:18.700
absolute daylight robbery to be

02:45:18.800 --> 02:45:19.700
fair, given what we've

02:45:19.800 --> 02:45:20.700
seen from fanatic so far. I

02:45:20.700 --> 02:45:22.700
to be able to do that. I

02:45:22.700 --> 02:45:24.700
think that's definitely been

02:45:24.700 --> 02:45:26.700
the better of the two sides. I'm

02:45:26.700 --> 02:45:28.700
sure you know, fanatic are

02:45:28.700 --> 02:45:30.700
going to want that five ones

02:45:30.700 --> 02:45:32.700
kind of steady the nerves a

02:45:32.700 --> 02:45:34.700
bit. Um. Get themselves that

02:45:34.700 --> 02:45:35.700
little bit of breathing space

02:45:35.700 --> 02:45:36.700
going into the second half

02:45:36.700 --> 02:45:37.700
where they move on to the

02:45:37.700 --> 02:45:38.700
defense, but honestly, I think

02:45:38.700 --> 02:45:39.700
they're going to be good

02:45:39.700 --> 02:45:40.700
comfortable on the defense. It's

02:45:40.700 --> 02:45:41.700
their map choice. You know,

02:45:41.700 --> 02:45:43.700
you'd expect them to come

02:45:43.700 --> 02:45:44.700
into there with two good

02:45:44.700 --> 02:45:46.700
sites, top floor and

02:45:46.700 --> 02:45:48.700
basement and you know, even

02:45:48.700 --> 02:45:54.700
themselves through overtime, but a 5-1 just really gives you an opportunity. You just need to lock down one side.

02:45:57.700 --> 02:46:05.700
One side though will be enough here, so at least keep secret barring. Again, if it goes with 5-1 down, I'm a little nervous for it, because like you say, one side plus another is more than enough.

02:46:05.700 --> 02:46:11.700
But, two halves to the game of speech, let's see how things go. Once you get the side swap and see how this one concludes first and foremost.

02:46:11.700 --> 02:46:17.200
Almost. Got that shield on side once again and although it's different operators it's still really the same intent I'd say.

02:46:17.200 --> 02:46:24.200
The sense coming along of course being the big focus on the SQQ here where previously it was the glass on the other side, it's still looking in towards stall.

02:46:24.200 --> 02:46:31.200
Got the Goyo on side, got the spokes on side, got the yokai's on side and a couple of truck operators to really force the other side to think.

02:46:31.200 --> 02:46:44.320
on the DMR with descents so we know what the player is going to be here, we know how they're

02:46:44.320 --> 02:46:53.160
going to try to get that space that they need underneath to put the diffuser down over just

02:46:53.160 --> 02:46:57.080
on those green stairs looking to push up and start this top floor clear and something

02:46:57.080 --> 02:47:01.900
that they did really well last time around. Fanatic, they were able to take over this

02:47:01.900 --> 02:47:05.720
top floor pretty much decimates everybody who was trying to hold on, Noah was the only

02:47:05.720 --> 02:47:12.800
one who really survived. But we're going to be looking at four more of the same secret.

02:47:12.800 --> 02:47:17.360
Did manage to switch things out a little bit. Here comes the start of the pressure into

02:47:17.360 --> 02:47:21.760
sight at least. We've got the Selma charge letting it in on the wall. That's just

02:47:21.760 --> 02:47:28.640
to give the line a sight in through there. So Deadshot is able to just hold that long line

02:47:28.640 --> 02:47:33.520
through there and Citizen's going to have to be careful about his movement. It's not too much happening

02:47:33.520 --> 02:47:37.440
from Fnatic towards those players above though. That would be my concern at the minute. We've

02:47:37.440 --> 02:47:41.920
got the air jabs going out and that's just going to prevent them kind of being flanked from

02:47:41.920 --> 02:47:47.040
top green stairs but the question is have they done enough to really buy the space that they

02:47:47.040 --> 02:47:51.520
need below here. Deadshot does manage to find Citizen. It felt a matter of time after that

02:47:51.520 --> 02:47:55.920
Selmer opened up the long angle. Citizen strayed a little too far and was punished.

02:47:57.200 --> 02:48:00.800
Sickle for sure and again that's the pain now. You start losing these players on the early entry

02:48:00.800 --> 02:48:04.480
if an athlete has shown throughout this whole map how good they can be when they've got these

02:48:04.480 --> 02:48:08.320
entries and pushed on and won the majority of those rounds. It's not good when you've lost

02:48:08.320 --> 02:48:12.000
one out too early on but admittedly with it being a Roma, Citizen know we're here really

02:48:12.000 --> 02:48:15.680
with two players you expect to go down earlier on. Losing one is at the end of the world but

02:48:15.680 --> 02:48:18.560
but already Latika asking questions inside itself.

02:48:18.560 --> 02:48:19.840
It's a lot of bait going on though,

02:48:19.840 --> 02:48:21.120
through because smokes have come out.

02:48:21.120 --> 02:48:23.000
We've had, of course, the send screens go out.

02:48:23.000 --> 02:48:25.520
It has drawn one smoke out of Savage,

02:48:25.520 --> 02:48:26.840
but it can just keep on rolling these out.

02:48:26.840 --> 02:48:28.920
It's kind of feel like Latika's overplayed

02:48:28.920 --> 02:48:30.120
their hand a bit here.

02:48:31.680 --> 02:48:32.800
Yeah, very possibly.

02:48:32.800 --> 02:48:35.160
I think maybe a little bit too reliance

02:48:35.160 --> 02:48:36.640
on that horizontal.

02:48:36.640 --> 02:48:40.200
Croxton's going to send out the logic form,

02:48:40.200 --> 02:48:43.080
and Latik just seems to be stalling out a little bit here.

02:48:43.080 --> 02:48:44.160
They've not got the progress

02:48:44.160 --> 02:48:45.000
that they hoped for.

02:48:45.000 --> 02:48:47.000
does take out D-Pect Wizard,

02:48:47.000 --> 02:48:49.000
manages to get up there and get the trade.

02:48:49.000 --> 02:48:51.000
Can he get himself another 15 seconds left to go?

02:48:51.000 --> 02:48:53.000
They're going to have to try and brute force this, really,

02:48:53.000 --> 02:48:55.000
if an attic just push themselves on in

02:48:55.000 --> 02:48:56.000
and try and get the plant.

02:48:56.000 --> 02:48:57.000
That's exactly what happens,

02:48:57.000 --> 02:49:00.000
but the Echo Drone continues to be a nuisance.

02:49:00.000 --> 02:49:01.000
Now is there opportunity?

02:49:01.000 --> 02:49:03.000
Surely they're having to be okay to drone,

02:49:03.000 --> 02:49:05.000
and however goes for it again.

02:49:05.000 --> 02:49:07.000
It could just be one scun away

02:49:07.000 --> 02:49:09.000
that managed to get the Echo Drone,

02:49:09.000 --> 02:49:11.000
though, and however is successful.

02:49:11.000 --> 02:49:12.000
No, it's not.

02:49:12.000 --> 02:49:13.000
He's taken off the plant,

02:49:13.000 --> 02:49:17.080
off the blunt and that's going to be the round for Team Secret 2-4.

02:49:17.080 --> 02:49:20.480
It was that dance upstairs that's the worst part because the Echo was in a spot where

02:49:20.480 --> 02:49:22.440
he was being covered off by the Goyo.

02:49:22.440 --> 02:49:25.880
We just had to push through the Goyo to try and get onto the Batman to stop that Danial

02:49:25.880 --> 02:49:26.880
coming on through.

02:49:26.880 --> 02:49:30.760
But when the Davak and Fort is going on through with the Goyo, you just got no chance there.

02:49:30.760 --> 02:49:33.360
Really well played by Goyo, but let's throw it to our desk and hear what they've

02:49:33.360 --> 02:49:34.360
got to say to him.

02:49:34.360 --> 02:49:35.760
Thank you very much guys.

02:49:35.760 --> 02:49:39.880
What an amazing half by Fnatic so far despite the last round not going in their favour.

02:49:39.880 --> 02:49:41.600
We have to say there's two players.

02:49:41.600 --> 02:49:45.760
kind of get a little bit slick before this game started, but they're picking up the pace.

02:49:45.760 --> 02:49:50.640
Somebody kind of gave me a little bit of a start. Yeah, Detsha and Halva, they were identified as the

02:49:50.640 --> 02:49:55.680
weaker players on the side of the Fnatic roster, and both have come alive today. I think it's worth

02:49:55.680 --> 02:49:59.520
saying. I think Detsha was really, really good, played a lot of those cut-offs. You know, had a

02:49:59.520 --> 02:50:02.960
very, very impactful round on the base, but round. And then Halva, since he jumped on the

02:50:02.960 --> 02:50:07.120
shields, yes, you know, low in terms of the kills and in terms of the deaths, but high

02:50:07.120 --> 02:50:12.800
impact as well. Yeah, I think it was easy to point them as basically culprits for the lack of success

02:50:12.800 --> 02:50:16.960
from Ftatic because when we looked at the roster, they were the one with the Vostats and there were

02:50:16.960 --> 02:50:21.760
the two recruits. So there were the two players that were supposed to help elevate the core of

02:50:21.760 --> 02:50:26.400
the players. And I think so far what I've done is pretty good. I think I liked the Dutch

02:50:26.400 --> 02:50:31.120
position most of the time as the flex player. They did a lot of estimates but got a lot

02:50:31.120 --> 02:50:34.960
of kills as well from doing that. Looking at the first few rounds, I look at Ftatic and I

02:50:34.960 --> 02:50:36.400
and I think there's too much respect here.

02:50:36.400 --> 02:50:38.040
What's happened?

02:50:38.040 --> 02:50:39.360
Well, what's happening is that they're

02:50:39.360 --> 02:50:42.080
playing into a time-waste strategy most of the time.

02:50:42.080 --> 02:50:45.640
You see them bringing the clash, the Tachanka, the Azami.

02:50:45.640 --> 02:50:48.240
They are trying to burn time, which I understand.

02:50:48.240 --> 02:50:50.280
They think that Fnatic will be a slow team.

02:50:50.280 --> 02:50:52.000
What I love to see from Fnatic is that the problem

02:50:52.000 --> 02:50:53.560
solving is much quicker.

02:50:53.560 --> 02:50:55.560
Look at Deepak on demos, going quickly.

02:50:55.560 --> 02:50:57.640
Look at the hover on the shelf, pushing them away.

02:50:57.640 --> 02:50:59.560
We're seeing a Fnatic that is proactive,

02:50:59.560 --> 02:51:01.080
and that is really quick.

02:51:01.080 --> 02:51:02.400
I mean, the 80% has been gross.

02:51:02.400 --> 02:51:04.760
The 80% for Fnatic across the Netherlands.

02:51:04.760 --> 02:51:08.960
However long has been good today. It feels like the final linking up the 20% they work

02:51:08.960 --> 02:51:13.080
cause for a lot and really could have been agglisix a lot. Both of those two rounds they

02:51:13.080 --> 02:51:17.000
lost in the end. We're really hanging in the bounce very, very close game. But you know,

02:51:17.000 --> 02:51:20.120
when you're second on to a lot, that's not an easy map to attack on to. It's not

02:51:20.120 --> 02:51:24.800
straightforward. It's quite very all based on the buns that are put in against you.

02:51:24.800 --> 02:51:28.900
And then therefore it can be quite difficult, but the fact they've got a four to will

02:51:28.900 --> 02:51:33.480
give them a lot of confidence going forward into their defensive path. 100%. And then

02:51:33.480 --> 02:51:37.680
Again, this is the time for them to wake up right if we talk about that punch that needs to be good for like

02:51:37.840 --> 02:51:41.560
This is the moment with your final chance inside that lower bracket

02:51:41.560 --> 02:51:45.860
We can have a look at the operator Benzo because you say that that really determines an attack in half on layer

02:51:45.860 --> 02:51:50.560
Yeah, particularly so this there's kind of two operates for me that really determine the top floor

02:51:50.560 --> 02:51:52.240
Which is as army and mirror?

02:51:52.240 --> 02:51:56.400
So you'll often see teams go for like these army the mirror clash to out of the free on the defense

02:51:56.400 --> 02:52:00.840
All they'll go for the breaches if you ban away the breaches you've got to deal with all of that crap

02:52:00.840 --> 02:52:10.280
ultimately in terms of attacking into it or if you go for the as army mirror or clash then you

02:52:10.280 --> 02:52:15.160
have to deal with the wall bridge as it is actually secret i've gone for one of each yeah one one of

02:52:15.160 --> 02:52:18.680
each we're still into the caves in place some of these armies in place so i'm not sure i feel like

02:52:18.680 --> 02:52:22.920
you'd probably commit to one lane or the other really i think secret are now able to play

02:52:22.920 --> 02:52:26.040
two shields by the way i don't understand the black dot band and then you go into that

02:52:26.040 --> 02:52:29.480
That's a questionable one as well. Half-half of Narek as well.

02:52:29.480 --> 02:52:31.080
Yeah. It's a bit of a weird thing.

02:52:31.080 --> 02:52:32.640
It feels like these teams have maybe been, I don't know,

02:52:32.640 --> 02:52:33.640
scrimmaged for a lot of something.

02:52:33.640 --> 02:52:34.640
They've got to read into it.

02:52:34.640 --> 02:52:36.440
They were of course in different groups.

02:52:36.440 --> 02:52:37.800
But certainly, yeah, I think both teams,

02:52:37.800 --> 02:52:39.800
you stick to a line, really.

02:52:39.800 --> 02:52:40.600
Well, yeah, half-half.

02:52:40.600 --> 02:52:42.280
The first half is also already done,

02:52:42.280 --> 02:52:44.840
and we're going to have a look at how the second half plays out.

02:52:46.960 --> 02:52:50.040
Thank you very much, and guys, indeed we shall.

02:52:50.040 --> 02:52:51.040
Very much for the day to stop the run.

02:52:51.040 --> 02:52:52.800
I think maybe looking back at the previous games,

02:52:52.800 --> 02:52:54.800
they've played with these fans that have come on through.

02:52:54.800 --> 02:53:04.800
I agree with what they were saying, it's like a negative balance, it's fancy, it definitely looks strange and you've come to the side of the secret, leaving a car heat up, panning away a bandit, normally you'd always keep them goes a pair, right?

02:53:05.800 --> 02:53:09.800
Yeah, yeah, you really would. We see it, clearly, I guess.

02:53:10.800 --> 02:53:14.800
I look at it, I think, you know, again, it's the...

02:53:15.800 --> 02:53:20.800
A lot of value in having the Kaid here, I think that the Electricals will be reasonably easily dealt with.

02:53:20.800 --> 02:53:24.840
out with. The biggest problem you're going to have against the Kaid is down in the basement

02:53:24.840 --> 02:53:29.440
where he can obviously electrify the hatches, but I think in general terms it's only going

02:53:29.440 --> 02:53:33.240
to be that one round and we might actually see the Kaid come out as the third band, so

02:53:33.240 --> 02:53:36.320
it may well be that they're just looking at it thinking, you know what, we could deal

02:53:36.320 --> 02:53:40.240
with it for a few rounds especially on that basement, we can do it once and then we'll

02:53:40.240 --> 02:53:43.720
ban it out anyway and we won't have to worry about it again. So we'll see how that

02:53:43.720 --> 02:53:49.360
comes out, but I think let's see how this first round closes out. We're definitely

02:53:49.360 --> 02:53:55.120
getting ready for a little bit of attention underneath. And I like this from Fnatic just trying to get a little impressive with it.

02:53:55.120 --> 02:54:00.440
Actually, we're going to put a couple of holes in the floor there. We're going to start taking up some of those counter angles.

02:54:00.640 --> 02:54:05.680
And we're going to try and make it, you know, a little bit difficult to to get in underneath.

02:54:05.680 --> 02:54:07.960
You know, you're going to know that you're walking into a challenge.

02:54:07.960 --> 02:54:11.120
So we sit as an on the day. Most he is going to be working underneath.

02:54:11.120 --> 02:54:16.040
We can see that now he's trying to get himself into maintenance and see which way that falls for him.

02:54:16.040 --> 02:54:20.340
For now, let's see how fast it can move through the map.

02:54:20.340 --> 02:54:21.780
They've got all the upgrades they need.

02:54:21.780 --> 02:54:25.340
I'll say, oh, they've got two upgrades they need to be able to clear through and deal

02:54:25.340 --> 02:54:27.980
with those that are being a little bit problematic downstairs for them.

02:54:27.980 --> 02:54:30.540
This wizard who's gulping himself around here on this first floor.

02:54:30.540 --> 02:54:34.620
Just keeping them asking the question, reminding them this ain't a free walk-in downstairs.

02:54:34.620 --> 02:54:37.260
Deimos, you are not going to have a free chance to get in and start blowing things

02:54:37.260 --> 02:54:39.540
up from below and deal with those electroclaws.

02:54:39.540 --> 02:54:42.820
For example, it's a different form of wasting time just by stopping them from being

02:54:42.820 --> 02:54:44.580
able to achieve what they want to.

02:54:44.580 --> 02:54:48.740
trying to, for example, make use of Goya canisters to completely slow things down on the other side,

02:54:48.740 --> 02:54:53.060
but so far, it's been good. Half the round is gone, so you do need to get a wiggle on here,

02:54:53.060 --> 02:54:56.340
as most of them are still trying to figure their way into the building in the first place.

02:54:58.420 --> 02:55:02.740
Oh, I like that. The little team up there, however, does manage to find one,

02:55:02.740 --> 02:55:07.220
but the trade is immediate. It wasn't actually a citizen from Alpov. It was

02:55:09.140 --> 02:55:12.180
Noa who managed to, or Savage that managed to get the trade out on that one.

02:55:12.180 --> 02:55:22.180
It was a little bit more. Sorry it was 4v4. It leaves us as secret continue to try and sweep across that top floor.

02:55:22.180 --> 02:55:25.180
They've got themselves a good bit of ground here. I actually really like this.

02:55:25.180 --> 02:55:32.180
Nath is going to use an exothermic on the floor to try and get that wall open, given that there's electrification on there.

02:55:32.180 --> 02:55:36.180
But we'll see the turnaround coming out. There's auto-cannister. We'll just delay that for the time being.

02:55:36.180 --> 02:55:37.780
But Secret have made good progress.

02:55:37.780 --> 02:55:39.020
40 seconds to go.

02:55:39.020 --> 02:55:40.620
They have control of Mezzanine.

02:55:40.620 --> 02:55:42.140
They've now got themselves another kill.

02:55:42.140 --> 02:55:44.140
Beautiful use of the made great teamwork

02:55:44.140 --> 02:55:46.340
to flush him into Citizen's line of sight.

02:55:46.340 --> 02:55:49.100
But here comes Deadshot with a double two versus two.

02:55:49.100 --> 02:55:50.740
Nitro in hand now.

02:55:51.740 --> 02:55:53.460
The last was a hot mess.

02:55:53.460 --> 02:55:55.100
He held a right second there then Secret

02:55:55.100 --> 02:55:56.980
and he's going to start his march on board.

02:55:56.980 --> 02:55:58.060
That could have been very different.

02:55:58.060 --> 02:56:00.780
Steps across from the shot but does not find his man.

02:56:00.780 --> 02:56:02.540
Instead takes a couple of buttoons

02:56:02.540 --> 02:56:04.820
but it's still enough for him to keep on walking in the round.

02:56:04.820 --> 02:56:09.500
final 10 seconds here and this is where Secret start getting his unforced errors Tim to get

02:56:09.500 --> 02:56:14.940
down towards the 1 vs 1 deadshot versus Savage and he's trying his very best 10s in once but

02:56:14.940 --> 02:56:19.740
Deadshot is out of here Tim, he has left the building and Savage there is nothing that

02:56:19.740 --> 02:56:25.420
he can do, they will just about hold on but I think they get a crucial round 7.

02:56:25.420 --> 02:56:30.340
Deadshot just slipped the trainers on then didn't he? He was like no chance I am out

02:56:30.340 --> 02:56:36.340
he was on low health, so he

02:56:36.340 --> 02:56:38.340
just did a runner set off.

02:56:38.340 --> 02:56:39.340
Played it absolutely perfectly.

02:56:39.340 --> 02:56:41.340
That's all he needed to do to

02:56:41.340 --> 02:56:42.340
secure the round for his team,

02:56:42.340 --> 02:56:44.340
and it's a good first defense.

02:56:44.340 --> 02:56:46.340
But look, let's not take away the

02:56:46.340 --> 02:56:48.340
positives from secret that it was

02:56:48.340 --> 02:56:50.340
a good attack. They almost

02:56:50.340 --> 02:56:51.340
kind of suffered, you know, from

02:56:51.340 --> 02:56:53.340
similar to what the desk said

02:56:53.340 --> 02:56:54.340
about fanatic before the game.

02:56:54.340 --> 02:56:55.340
You know, it was that kind of

02:56:55.340 --> 02:56:57.340
crumbling crunch time, wasn't

02:56:57.340 --> 02:56:58.340
it? They came down to the

02:57:28.340 --> 02:57:32.300
coming out, Daymasters are basically always as faithful it feels at the top two of play

02:57:32.300 --> 02:57:35.820
anyway, but also a monster to help you move through. The other side then leads into Wars

02:57:35.820 --> 02:57:40.460
of Things, by trap operators leading into Wars Goyo for example, and you saw that clot become

02:57:40.460 --> 02:57:43.900
the enemy there at the dying part of that round, we saw it clop-polatize back in the

02:57:43.900 --> 02:57:48.940
first half as well, but it's certainly making for a very interesting game. See, you can

02:57:48.940 --> 02:57:53.740
close that gap otherwise at a 6-2 deficit, kinda feels like the snap can only go one

02:57:53.740 --> 02:57:55.340
to get it back to a five-three,

02:57:55.340 --> 02:57:57.900
something that we start having a very different conversation.

02:58:02.460 --> 02:58:05.740
Monty is going to start marching on into warehouse,

02:58:05.740 --> 02:58:09.100
so, secret again, taking ground quickly, not messing about.

02:58:09.100 --> 02:58:11.180
I like the, you know, use of the utility

02:58:11.180 --> 02:58:12.540
that has been left up for them.

02:58:12.540 --> 02:58:13.900
Blackbeard has been taken away,

02:58:13.900 --> 02:58:16.700
but Monty is still available, so we're going to use that.

02:58:16.700 --> 02:58:18.540
We're going to get in there. We're going to take that space.

02:58:18.540 --> 02:58:20.300
We're going to let Monty do his job.

02:58:20.300 --> 02:58:22.060
I love this from the braver as well,

02:58:22.060 --> 02:58:26.100
to be able to do that. But

02:58:26.100 --> 02:58:28.100
you know, it's just kind of

02:58:28.100 --> 02:58:30.100
flying around and getting a lot

02:58:30.100 --> 02:58:32.100
of those electronics dealt with

02:58:32.100 --> 02:58:34.100
and so that's going to again

02:58:34.100 --> 02:58:36.100
make things easy when it comes

02:58:36.100 --> 02:58:38.100
to that final push. First

02:58:38.100 --> 02:58:40.100
minute has gone by. However.

02:58:40.100 --> 02:58:42.100
For the good work secret of

02:58:42.100 --> 02:58:44.100
done. Just be aware of

02:58:44.100 --> 02:58:46.100
wizard upon that top offered

02:58:46.100 --> 02:58:48.100
finatic on the solace.

02:58:48.100 --> 02:58:49.100
A constant different. That

02:58:49.100 --> 02:58:50.100
feels like it's kind of role

02:58:50.100 --> 02:58:53.540
They want to say it's an aggressive entry roll because he's not doing pretty good at the kills,

02:58:53.540 --> 02:58:55.220
he's more looking to try and waste time.

02:58:55.220 --> 02:59:00.260
It's typically we'll say for attackers, entry is about trying to make space for the rest of your team to step into.

02:59:00.260 --> 02:59:04.820
But here it's denying space for the other players on the enemy team to be able to step into.

02:59:04.820 --> 02:59:07.220
And if I'm one, but there is a response back the other way,

02:59:07.220 --> 02:59:10.900
truthfully Tim, I'd take losing a Zidarei and picking up a counter tower any day of the week.

02:59:13.060 --> 02:59:16.660
Luckily it's just going to be holding this angle on the door for now,

02:59:16.660 --> 02:59:22.300
I agree. I think the trade is very worthwhile. Donary's gadgets, the trip

02:59:22.300 --> 02:59:26.660
connectors, they're all out already. I would have expected it at least, maybe not all of them,

02:59:26.660 --> 02:59:30.460
so I think we'll be held in pockets if we play it actively, but more than likely they've

02:59:30.460 --> 02:59:34.820
already been put out there. And it just leaves you in a great position, taking that capital

02:59:34.820 --> 02:59:39.540
utility off the board. So now four versus two, Coxson there for the traders,

02:59:39.540 --> 02:59:43.420
Savage does manage to find Deepak, 50 seconds left to go. It's all up to

02:59:43.420 --> 02:59:47.460
to be a good choice for the

02:59:47.460 --> 02:59:48.960
city. He can't do any of it.

02:59:48.960 --> 02:59:49.520
Was it manages find the final

02:59:49.520 --> 02:59:51.520
kill and fanatic put themselves

02:59:51.520 --> 02:59:52.520
on to map points and it's not

02:59:52.520 --> 02:59:53.520
comfortable for them on layer.

02:59:53.520 --> 02:59:55.520
It has to be said, I know that

02:59:55.520 --> 02:59:57.520
it's their map choice, but they're

02:59:57.520 --> 02:59:59.520
really shown why. Sure. And

02:59:59.520 --> 03:00:01.520
again, this really well played

03:00:01.520 --> 03:00:03.520
out round because even down to

03:00:03.520 --> 03:00:05.520
the bitter end of it, they

03:00:05.520 --> 03:00:07.520
still had control upstairs. They

03:00:07.520 --> 03:00:08.520
still had presence above. It

03:00:08.520 --> 03:00:10.520
wasn't ever really a moment in

03:00:10.520 --> 03:00:11.520
that round where you saw secret

03:00:11.520 --> 03:00:12.520
get a firm control of the

03:00:12.520 --> 03:00:17.920
And so it's again one of those where it just feels like again, but that's it could be in a little confusing and no doubt

03:00:17.920 --> 03:00:21.680
Very annoying the secret to deal with right now and it's leading to these little

03:00:22.040 --> 03:00:27.560
Confusing moments and mistakes that are really signed to bite them and cost them a number of rounds like I said six to down

03:00:28.280 --> 03:00:32.240
I think it's gonna be really hard press now for secrets to be able to call their way back into this map

03:00:32.240 --> 03:00:36.800
They're gonna already be thinking properly about what happens on their map pick a pick of Charlie. I

03:00:36.800 --> 03:00:45.600
I think you're exactly right, I think you know you're already kind of thinking beyond the end of this one

03:00:45.600 --> 03:00:49.880
But like I said, let's not forget team secret did have that big comeback

03:00:50.560 --> 03:00:54.120
During the kickoff phase we were able to come back from six one down

03:00:54.120 --> 03:01:01.680
So it is in locker is a possibility for them, but I would say as well with the way the performances have gone so far

03:01:01.920 --> 03:01:05.880
It is not something that I am overly expecting right now

03:01:05.880 --> 03:01:21.880
I'd say that I'd say I'd have said the same on the day that they did the six one come back to be honest because they didn't look very good at all through the first half of that and they've managed to turn it around so let's see if secret can do it or not but I'm sure secret fans going to be getting a little bit concerned here.

03:01:21.880 --> 03:01:28.100
Never fun to have to go and play the second and third map of a festive three when you're already won down because

03:01:28.480 --> 03:01:30.920
Kind of almost become best of ones in a sense

03:01:30.920 --> 03:01:37.600
So at a time however just straight into no man's land or hasn't recognized that that barricade was partially open

03:01:37.600 --> 03:01:39.600
And if picks up a nice three

03:01:42.160 --> 03:01:45.940
Then I was been causing quite a few of these early engagements in these rounds

03:01:45.940 --> 03:01:49.720
And it's it's strange because again when I look back at the game the other day when they were playing at

03:01:49.720 --> 03:01:54.920
at Swisted Minds. He was one of them being left in these 2v2 situations or a 3v2 for

03:01:54.920 --> 03:01:59.360
Fnatic and would die in a very, very weird spot. He's been involved much more up front

03:01:59.360 --> 03:02:02.520
in a number of these rounds. Only really involved directly in one entry and that was the one

03:02:02.520 --> 03:02:06.360
that he got back in round 7. Here of course is the entry depth but it's just really

03:02:06.360 --> 03:02:10.720
interesting seeing that change of play whereas Role is less passive and far more involved

03:02:10.720 --> 03:02:11.720
in the game.

03:02:11.720 --> 03:02:17.240
This is on the talk and we're just pausing for the time being whilst the team gets

03:02:17.240 --> 03:02:19.240
into position around him.

03:02:19.240 --> 03:02:21.920
He's just waiting on the X-Call to build up as well.

03:02:21.920 --> 03:02:24.720
No utility for him, so it's just about holding

03:02:24.720 --> 03:02:27.760
and preventing flanks and movement.

03:02:27.760 --> 03:02:29.560
You see a little bit of a trade there.

03:02:29.560 --> 03:02:31.000
Morglodon is just a fine DP,

03:02:31.000 --> 03:02:32.960
but Wizard is there for the response.

03:02:32.960 --> 03:02:34.800
Again, Fnatic continued to trade.

03:02:34.800 --> 03:02:36.200
Well, how about that, though?

03:02:36.200 --> 03:02:39.640
Citizen managing to find the tight shot around the corner

03:02:39.640 --> 03:02:41.520
to take off Wizard's head.

03:02:41.520 --> 03:02:44.000
And Secret are well on their way

03:02:44.000 --> 03:02:45.600
to another successful round.

03:02:45.600 --> 03:02:50.600
I don't think they know where he is, but in all honesty, I don't think it's going to be much of a problem.

03:02:50.600 --> 03:02:56.600
He maybe gets one now as he pops up as the door could be called, goes out, takes down there, but it still leaves in 1v3.

03:02:56.600 --> 03:03:01.600
And Noah is there for the answer. This is looking exactly like they did in the 6-1 comeback, to be honest.

03:03:01.600 --> 03:03:08.600
Well, maybe they just need to be playing against that round deficit. Maybe they just need to be fighting against Matt Pine.

03:03:08.600 --> 03:03:10.600
to be fighting against Matt

03:03:10.600 --> 03:03:12.600
point and then they just

03:03:12.600 --> 03:03:13.600
become you know that the meme

03:03:13.600 --> 03:03:14.600
of like the little dog and the

03:03:14.600 --> 03:03:16.600
big dog and maybe they just

03:03:16.600 --> 03:03:18.600
need to be against six rounds

03:03:18.600 --> 03:03:20.600
to be the big the big beef

03:03:20.600 --> 03:03:22.600
kick. Maybe that's what it is.

03:03:22.600 --> 03:03:24.600
You know the whole world

03:03:24.600 --> 03:03:25.600
against them. And then they

03:03:25.600 --> 03:03:26.600
just unlock a secret buff

03:03:26.600 --> 03:03:28.600
and online they come maybe

03:03:28.600 --> 03:03:29.600
but it's still three rounds

03:03:29.600 --> 03:03:30.600
to recover. Like I said, it

03:03:30.600 --> 03:03:31.600
feels like a hell of a

03:03:31.600 --> 03:03:32.600
stretch. And remembering the

03:03:32.600 --> 03:03:33.600
fanatic is still got the

03:03:33.600 --> 03:03:34.600
option of attack time out

03:03:34.600 --> 03:03:35.600
here to try and get the

03:03:35.600 --> 03:03:40.040
And remembering the fanatic has still got the option of attack time out here to try and spin things back around the right way

03:03:40.960 --> 03:03:45.600
See how things develop capital being taken away and there's that second Electro boat

03:03:45.600 --> 03:03:49.780
Electro bro band that we expected Tim Kairi to be taking away to

03:03:50.760 --> 03:03:55.000
It is worth mentioning. I've obviously brought up that six one come back a couple of times

03:03:55.000 --> 03:03:56.040
It was against GK

03:03:56.040 --> 03:03:58.440
It's worth mentioning the Cosm layer as well

03:03:58.440 --> 03:04:07.480
and it was the other way round they went on to the defense and they were able to come back and

03:04:07.480 --> 03:04:13.960
actually they got seven rounds in a row on the quite on the defense because obviously two of those

03:04:13.960 --> 03:04:19.160
were over time so there was one attack thrown in there but seven rounds in a row to get the job

03:04:19.160 --> 03:04:27.160
done so fanatic need to apply caution at least and try to make sure that they get this one done

03:04:27.160 --> 03:04:32.840
before a secret breathing down the neck. Honestly, now would be an ideal time to get that done.

03:04:32.840 --> 03:04:39.240
I know that's easier said than done, but yeah, I think once you get to four to five, you know,

03:04:39.240 --> 03:04:43.960
and you're looking at one or two rounds of comfort is not very much comfort.

03:04:45.400 --> 03:04:48.600
Absolutely. All right, let's see how this big round goes now.

03:04:48.600 --> 03:04:51.400
Then we'll be able to continue to fight back. Will we start to see some pressure coming on

03:04:51.400 --> 03:04:55.720
to fantastic or is the round end here? I think as we expected visibly it was going to

03:04:55.720 --> 03:04:59.340
probably a couple of rounds ago for now. We keep the fight going.

03:04:59.340 --> 03:05:02.560
The defensive side with a lot of stall almost taking out the leap out of the

03:05:02.560 --> 03:05:06.480
foot from Team Secret that we saw back in the first half, in that clutch on side of course.

03:05:06.480 --> 03:05:11.920
Coming out the smoke, the key missed the shoe through and a hell of a lot of barbed wire as well.

03:05:11.920 --> 03:05:14.320
It just means we're going to see if he could be busy in this round.

03:05:14.320 --> 03:05:17.520
And I come back to what I said back in the first half where I'm a little bit nervous.

03:05:17.520 --> 03:05:21.120
That when Fnatic are playing a comp that's intending to try and slow the other side down

03:05:21.120 --> 03:05:25.560
and Secret are then playing a relatively slow comp that is mostly execute

03:05:25.560 --> 03:05:28.560
focus let's say I'm looking more towards the Grim in the Monty there yes you got

03:05:28.560 --> 03:05:31.840
the ability to move quite quick with the solid safe on side but it's more of a

03:05:31.840 --> 03:05:36.080
lurker role citizens looking to kind of play vertically as well there's just a

03:05:36.080 --> 03:05:40.520
lot to get done here so keep an eye on how long it takes

03:05:42.760 --> 03:05:47.800
oh golly just holding that angle on to rocket stairs sees the guy or canister

03:05:47.800 --> 03:05:51.480
detonated and that's his cue to get on to the drones a little bit because he

03:05:51.480 --> 03:05:55.600
he knows at least he can't be pushed for that 15-20 seconds from that position,

03:05:55.600 --> 03:05:57.400
so it creates him a little bit of a stir.

03:05:57.400 --> 03:06:00.080
Hermione gets on in and opens up that Ops wall.

03:06:00.080 --> 03:06:03.040
Does see the clash, staring him down immediately,

03:06:03.040 --> 03:06:05.840
but that's at least two of the Vulcan canisters gone so far,

03:06:05.840 --> 03:06:08.400
so good progress again from Team Secret.

03:06:08.400 --> 03:06:10.080
And look at this, they've got the snake there.

03:06:10.080 --> 03:06:13.120
Bad bathroom window just feeding them all that intel

03:06:13.120 --> 03:06:15.320
about where these players are positioned.

03:06:16.920 --> 03:06:19.000
Let's see all the major countries trying to put out a lot of utility

03:06:19.000 --> 03:06:23.720
get their march on forward and very much pushed back straight away by the spokes here. So slow down,

03:06:23.720 --> 03:06:27.640
hit the half-way point around and they're at least asking questions at the top floor here.

03:06:27.640 --> 03:06:32.280
Just the main focus but again this is just getting actually set up itself. Not tons of

03:06:32.280 --> 03:06:36.760
stall left to play with. Still a smoke or two in back pocket I believe to work behind in that clash,

03:06:36.760 --> 03:06:40.440
ever looming and able to cause damage. Then they've got to deal with the actual setup inside

03:06:40.440 --> 03:06:44.360
of its side itself. This is where I start to feel a bit nervous for them. The blessing

03:06:44.360 --> 03:06:48.120
being, I tell you what, forget about the blasting team, how on earth is Deathshock on

03:06:48.120 --> 03:06:51.600
the way with that one? Manage your dance right in front of the Monty, kill the

03:06:51.600 --> 03:06:55.400
Harcric going down, get rid of Movie on Main Stairs, that might just be enough to

03:06:55.400 --> 03:06:58.680
stay cake, the players flow, now suddenly we're very very quick and now the

03:06:58.680 --> 03:07:01.000
round is over, Blink can you miss it?

03:07:01.000 --> 03:07:06.200
You really go for versus three and they did manage at least secret to get the response

03:07:06.200 --> 03:07:10.480
to try and limit the punishment, however by this the Monty has worked as a magnet

03:07:10.480 --> 03:07:15.840
has created a lot of attention on himself there but it doesn't matter as Wizard manages to find a

03:07:15.840 --> 03:07:21.200
double it's all up to Citizen 1v3 but he can't do it the clash is feeding his position and just

03:07:21.200 --> 03:07:28.320
as I said they might want to but that's it causing 0-7-3 on map one. Very very good performance

03:07:28.320 --> 03:07:32.400
well done, where was this team? I think they're gonna say that they had some very good rounds

03:07:32.400 --> 03:07:36.800
of the day it's just late round we see things that the way but in this game I think we've

03:07:36.800 --> 03:07:40.420
we've seen a very, very different than that, but the big question that stands is can that

03:07:40.420 --> 03:07:44.920
carry on to a map that isn't their pick? We find out after a short break.

03:12:36.800 --> 03:12:53.800
of this matchup. What an

03:12:54.800 --> 03:12:55.800
amazing start for phonetic

03:12:55.800 --> 03:12:56.800
inside this matchup. They come

03:12:56.800 --> 03:12:57.800
away with the victory there.

03:12:57.800 --> 03:12:58.800
We'll see it in the highlights

03:12:58.800 --> 03:13:00.800
as well. That final play that

03:13:00.800 --> 03:13:01.800
we're seeing from that show

03:13:01.800 --> 03:13:03.800
absolutely game winning in that

03:13:03.800 --> 03:13:04.800
one, but we're seeing that

03:13:04.800 --> 03:13:05.800
more and more individual

03:13:05.800 --> 03:13:10.760
I love the momentum being carried from one side to the other. I think the four zero stops really helped them

03:13:10.760 --> 03:13:13.700
I think that you know when you start them up that way to the statement

03:13:14.160 --> 03:13:16.920
It creates pressure on secret. They're here to the fabric

03:13:17.160 --> 03:13:24.520
They are also I think feeling the pressure of being you know back against the wall of losing a streak of qualifying to every

03:13:24.720 --> 03:13:27.340
Steer tournament in the past two years or a sports medic

03:13:27.620 --> 03:13:33.400
They've not been to the search element in the end of time except for reload once a reload where they didn't have to qualify

03:13:33.400 --> 03:13:41.400
So the reality is, you know, for Fnatic's roster right now, pressure is down them, despite being in a good orientation like this, and his move from the top.

03:13:41.400 --> 03:13:45.400
Yeah, I think a staple of also his performance throughout the map, Jack.

03:13:45.400 --> 03:13:51.400
Yeah, I think so. I thought Fnatic were really, really good. It was a map clearly they picked into, they were very, very confident.

03:13:51.400 --> 03:13:54.400
I think they maybe brought a few things that Secret 1 expecting.

03:13:54.400 --> 03:13:55.400
Yeah.

03:13:55.400 --> 03:13:57.400
really surprised them. And then

03:13:57.400 --> 03:13:59.400
crucially, they saw out the end of the

03:13:59.400 --> 03:14:01.400
rounds, which, you know, as you can see,

03:14:01.400 --> 03:14:03.400
I'm going to get memed on for my graphic

03:14:03.400 --> 03:14:05.400
just a little bit. But previously, what

03:14:05.400 --> 03:14:07.400
we saw from Fnatic was when it got to

03:14:07.400 --> 03:14:09.400
Crunchtrap, they really, really fell apart.

03:14:09.400 --> 03:14:11.400
But against Secret, they managed

03:14:11.400 --> 03:14:13.400
to get it over the line. We saw a couple

03:14:13.400 --> 03:14:15.400
of the highlights. Oh, yeah.

03:14:15.400 --> 03:14:17.400
We saw a couple of highlights there,

03:14:17.400 --> 03:14:19.400
where it was 4B2 situations, where it

03:14:19.400 --> 03:14:21.400
was 4B3 as it was getting to late rounds.

03:14:21.400 --> 03:14:23.400
The defense, when Secret won the defense, were able

03:14:23.400 --> 03:14:25.400
But for that I will shorten it down.

03:14:25.400 --> 03:14:27.400
What was the keyword? Composer.

03:14:27.400 --> 03:14:32.400
It was there. Finally, it's like all of the hard stuff that has been doing well.

03:14:32.400 --> 03:14:34.400
Finally, kicking in together.

03:14:34.400 --> 03:14:36.400
But also the last bit, the last moment.

03:14:36.400 --> 03:14:40.400
Also that moment was important, was well done for them.

03:14:40.400 --> 03:14:46.400
And I think that it looks like really all they needed was a big slap in the face, which was yesterday.

03:14:46.400 --> 03:14:49.400
To really be like a guy, seriously.

03:14:49.400 --> 03:14:50.400
Especially them up to.

03:14:50.400 --> 03:14:54.480
Exactly, seriously, we're not reacting, we're just losing to our own heads.

03:14:54.480 --> 03:14:56.960
Let's re-watch the game on Labs.

03:14:56.960 --> 03:14:58.000
It was not even a game.

03:14:58.000 --> 03:14:59.280
I mean, it was just like...

03:14:59.280 --> 03:15:00.160
They were toys for this game.

03:15:00.160 --> 03:15:03.120
It's like it took them to get embarrassed and that was the time point for them.

03:15:03.120 --> 03:15:06.480
And I just love that kind of thing because I think this is where you learn the most.

03:15:06.480 --> 03:15:09.200
And the four Rebels, they got slapped in the face yesterday.

03:15:09.200 --> 03:15:10.960
They got slapped again today and no reaction.

03:15:10.960 --> 03:15:13.280
And I think Fofnatic were starting to see a reaction.

03:15:13.280 --> 03:15:15.440
And that puts them on edge compared to Secret.

03:15:15.440 --> 03:15:18.480
Yeah, Reaction's in and around as well because what you were saying is that

03:15:18.480 --> 03:15:22.320
Xenok were bringing out some things that Secret weren't expecting. We saw that in the final round as well, right?

03:15:22.320 --> 03:15:26.240
That play by DeadShield, a player that we need to give phrases to because

03:15:26.880 --> 03:15:31.440
we did have our current insurance at the beginning of this map, but actually showing up now.

03:15:31.440 --> 03:15:36.240
Yeah, he really did show up. He got a lot of important kills. You saw that play in the very final round.

03:15:36.240 --> 03:15:39.760
That was looking like it was going to be a Team Secret round until somebody makes a play.

03:15:39.760 --> 03:15:42.800
And that's what we were talking about. When we showed the clips at the start of this game,

03:15:42.800 --> 03:15:46.560
we were talking about somebody taking ownership of being the one to win the round,

03:15:46.560 --> 03:15:47.560
Exactly.

03:15:47.560 --> 03:15:49.640
I.E. the whole team not trying to not lose the round.

03:15:49.640 --> 03:15:51.440
And it's a very fine distinction.

03:15:51.440 --> 03:15:55.480
Today, Deadshot was the one who stood up and was the one that was saying, it's not me guys,

03:15:55.480 --> 03:15:57.800
I'm going to be the one to make the round win in moments.

03:15:57.800 --> 03:15:58.960
And that's exactly what he did.

03:15:58.960 --> 03:16:01.080
Playing to win, not playing not to lose, you know.

03:16:01.080 --> 03:16:02.080
Yes exactly.

03:16:02.080 --> 03:16:04.280
And I think this is really what we were expecting for Fnatic.

03:16:04.280 --> 03:16:07.280
Finally that change in dynamic, in identity.

03:16:07.280 --> 03:16:08.280
It's working right now.

03:16:08.280 --> 03:16:10.280
They need to carry that moment to not lose the map.

03:16:10.280 --> 03:16:11.280
Yeah.

03:16:11.280 --> 03:16:14.200
That is their big pressure of course, their challenge to connect that into the second

03:16:14.200 --> 03:16:17.200
We'll talk so much more about that second map after the break.

03:16:44.200 --> 03:16:46.840
Cause I can't get down from this runnin' up

03:16:46.840 --> 03:16:49.840
I'ma keep it goin' til there ain't nothin' left

03:16:52.640 --> 03:16:54.640
goin' til there ain't nothin' left

03:19:44.200 --> 03:20:14.000
Secret arm just on the verge of elimination, they are also on the verge of losing.

03:20:14.000 --> 03:20:18.400
There are two years' tweak of making it to every single international event.

03:20:18.400 --> 03:20:20.120
Now, they don't want that to happen.

03:20:20.120 --> 03:20:23.680
The main question is, what needs to happen for Secret to keep the streak alive?

03:20:23.680 --> 03:20:26.880
I think the main thing to me is if they continue to play behind the show of Savage,

03:20:26.880 --> 03:20:29.280
they need to all be aligned behind the vision.

03:20:29.280 --> 03:20:32.880
I think Noah shared in an interview that they brought in Citizen, they brought in Nath.

03:20:32.880 --> 03:20:35.360
Those are guys that have a great vision, they can't shut call.

03:20:35.360 --> 03:20:39.360
The problem is in this situation, it's both a strength and a weakness.

03:20:39.360 --> 03:20:42.640
Because then you have too many cooks in the kitchen and I can see that hesitation in the game.

03:20:42.640 --> 03:20:47.040
I can see Savage calling with his Monty, and then hesitation, people playing for themselves,

03:20:47.040 --> 03:20:50.880
or playing for different games. And I think right now, if you want to keep playing default,

03:20:50.880 --> 03:20:55.120
a line behind Savage. Yeah. But we are going on some map of Shelly, so you don't necessarily

03:20:55.120 --> 03:20:59.360
have to play default. Obviously, that's a good thing they could do. If they want to get a little

03:20:59.360 --> 03:21:03.040
bit crazy, they could go a little bit twisted mines on Fnatic. In theory, secret. I've got

03:21:03.040 --> 03:21:06.720
better players than Fnatic from a gun skill point of view. So be a little bit erratic,

03:21:06.720 --> 03:21:10.960
but do it together. I want to see him hiding, ratting. Think what Hachan would do.

03:21:10.960 --> 03:21:15.280
He would be prone in some shrug way, someone, you know, inside of Ivy, on Shella, you know,

03:21:15.280 --> 03:21:18.560
that type of stuff that really can throw Fnatic off their game.

03:21:18.560 --> 03:21:20.960
We've seen it. The template is there for it as well.

03:21:20.960 --> 03:21:25.040
So I have a control, unite behind Savage and his sole vision for risk or go risk.

03:21:25.040 --> 03:21:25.760
Okay. Yeah.

03:21:25.760 --> 03:21:29.840
Well, it seems like there's many ways to roam or to stay alive inside this competition as well.

03:21:29.840 --> 03:21:31.920
Shella is where you find out a secret compound spec.

03:21:34.400 --> 03:21:36.720
Indeed, Michelle Anne. Thank you very much.

03:21:36.720 --> 03:21:39.200
We were having a little chat actually in the break just now and you were saying,

03:21:39.200 --> 03:21:41.320
You know, I can't really see that 6-0 in this.

03:21:41.320 --> 03:21:44.160
I just came to pick your brains on why that is, Tim.

03:21:44.160 --> 03:21:46.560
I think... I just think Secret have already shown...

03:21:46.560 --> 03:21:48.200
That's very the deep end or anything.

03:21:48.200 --> 03:21:51.440
I just think that Secret have already shown a weakness on layer.

03:21:51.440 --> 03:21:53.560
You know, it was a good comeback against DK,

03:21:53.560 --> 03:21:56.760
but DKB and the team that was eliminated,

03:21:56.760 --> 03:21:59.280
you know, took them right to the brink already.

03:21:59.280 --> 03:22:00.720
I think we're now coming into maps

03:22:00.720 --> 03:22:02.040
that they're going to be more comfortable on.

03:22:02.040 --> 03:22:04.880
So I honestly think that we see a little bit of difference.

03:22:04.880 --> 03:22:07.640
You know, there's the mental question, of course.

03:22:07.640 --> 03:22:09.840
You know, they've been beating up a little bit on that first map.

03:22:09.840 --> 03:22:13.480
Are they going to come back in and play their normal shallow to their normal standard?

03:22:13.680 --> 03:22:15.440
That's what we're going to find out.

03:22:15.440 --> 03:22:17.520
But personally, I think, yes, they probably do.

03:22:17.520 --> 03:22:20.280
There's a lot of experience across the team.

03:22:20.280 --> 03:22:23.800
So I don't think Fnatic are going to have quite the run of things

03:22:23.800 --> 03:22:25.560
as they have done on there.

03:22:25.560 --> 03:22:27.040
I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong.

03:22:27.040 --> 03:22:29.800
But yeah, I think we're going to see secret come back.

03:22:29.800 --> 03:22:33.560
I wouldn't be surprised to have a little bit of bank at the end of this.

03:22:34.800 --> 03:22:36.440
Mostly mostly of a system.

03:22:36.440 --> 03:22:39.640
great performances in a couple of months, S.I.

03:22:39.640 --> 03:22:43.120
bringing now Halkins, Furia, but

03:22:43.120 --> 03:22:44.600
this is a very, very different secret team

03:22:44.600 --> 03:22:45.920
as you've seen, you know, it's,

03:22:45.920 --> 03:22:46.760
it sounds weird to take the card,

03:22:46.760 --> 03:22:49.160
you change a couple of players to transform the team.

03:22:49.160 --> 03:22:50.120
Putting it into a different number,

03:22:50.120 --> 03:22:52.200
it's 40% of that team that has changed,

03:22:52.200 --> 03:22:53.920
and actually that's different voices,

03:22:53.920 --> 03:22:56.240
different ideas, play styles, synergies,

03:22:56.240 --> 03:22:58.680
like relationships that change in the team itself,

03:22:58.680 --> 03:23:01.960
you can really drastically affect how a team plays,

03:23:01.960 --> 03:23:05.040
not just overall, but also how certain maps run as well.

03:23:05.040 --> 03:23:07.960
And that's what I'm kind of concerned here that we may actually see.

03:23:07.960 --> 03:23:12.600
But that's it walking away with a 2-0 over secret, which no one had on their bingo card

03:23:12.600 --> 03:23:15.240
after how they played the other day. Time it will tell.

03:23:16.600 --> 03:23:19.280
Do you want to shut the coffee just in time for the game? Ain't that perfect?

03:23:22.080 --> 03:23:24.680
You know what, Tim? You would actually love one of these mugs that I've got.

03:23:24.680 --> 03:23:28.480
I thought you were going to say coffees. I was going to say, you know how to drink coffee, but...

03:23:28.480 --> 03:23:31.040
You don't know. But it's the mug.

03:23:31.040 --> 03:23:34.440
Because it's the picture of a cat with its two middle fingers up.

03:23:34.440 --> 03:23:37.440
And the line across the top and bottom is, I do what I want.

03:23:39.840 --> 03:23:40.840
Five seconds to go.

03:23:42.040 --> 03:23:43.840
How come the things I'm looking at are you and me?

03:23:45.040 --> 03:23:47.240
I'm literally the perfect look for you.

03:23:47.640 --> 03:23:48.640
It's phenomenal.

03:23:49.240 --> 03:23:50.640
A little quite literally is.

03:23:51.240 --> 03:23:52.440
Right, we're going to have Deadshot.

03:23:52.440 --> 03:23:54.640
Ooh, I was going to say he's just taking a repeat there.

03:23:54.640 --> 03:23:55.440
He did have a look.

03:23:55.440 --> 03:23:57.240
He didn't want to over commit to it.

03:23:57.240 --> 03:23:59.640
He dips himself back away a little bit

03:23:59.640 --> 03:24:01.840
and only gave it a couple of seconds.

03:24:01.840 --> 03:24:06.080
to be attacking onto that top

03:24:06.080 --> 03:24:08.080
floor immediate presence on

03:24:08.080 --> 03:24:10.080
towards the roof. I think

03:24:10.080 --> 03:24:11.080
that's going to be, you know,

03:24:11.080 --> 03:24:13.080
looking towards the piano

03:24:13.080 --> 03:24:15.080
window. There we go. And either

03:24:15.080 --> 03:24:17.080
above the piano window, looking

03:24:17.080 --> 03:24:19.080
towards Ivy window, that's going

03:24:19.080 --> 03:24:21.080
to be the initial point of

03:24:21.080 --> 03:24:23.080
pressure just to have a look

03:24:23.080 --> 03:24:25.080
at and make sure that he's

03:24:25.080 --> 03:24:27.080
rotating to freely around the

03:24:27.080 --> 03:24:28.080
area. Back towards back from

03:24:28.080 --> 03:24:29.080
the students. You saw that

03:24:29.080 --> 03:24:30.080
blitz on it with the show,

03:24:30.080 --> 03:24:31.080
where they have gone.

03:24:31.080 --> 03:24:33.080
Turn tail and run, Deadshot!

03:24:33.080 --> 03:24:35.080
No, no, it's right there behind him to get rid of.

03:24:35.080 --> 03:24:36.080
Which is sorry it was.

03:24:36.080 --> 03:24:38.580
On the flip side, Albert's a ball, this is a great star.

03:24:38.580 --> 03:24:40.580
The secret here, Deadshot gonna get one back,

03:24:40.580 --> 03:24:42.580
but again, the response is there.

03:24:42.580 --> 03:24:45.580
Noah looking good in the round, good for two to be precise.

03:24:45.580 --> 03:24:47.080
And now it's a four versus two.

03:24:47.080 --> 03:24:48.580
Croxton, very, very quiet.

03:24:48.580 --> 03:24:51.080
Last match, as we said, he was zero, zero, zero for a long time.

03:24:51.080 --> 03:24:52.580
He starts out at least with a kill here,

03:24:52.580 --> 03:24:54.080
but there's a lot to turn around.

03:24:54.080 --> 03:24:57.080
Like that, though, secret and down to a two versus two.

03:24:57.080 --> 03:24:59.080
Almost down to a two versus one.

03:24:59.080 --> 03:25:03.800
One is cabbage, eats the face for the bullets, but stays standing, close to being put down here as well.

03:25:03.800 --> 03:25:08.200
One more shot will be enough, there is no way they turn this on its head, right?

03:25:08.840 --> 03:25:13.120
Right, it really is possible though, they've got Nerf underneath at the minute,

03:25:13.120 --> 03:25:17.400
he's going to have to battle his way around, they've gone over to the diffuser as well,

03:25:17.400 --> 03:25:21.240
they're going to start that process, the job done, does the job.

03:25:21.800 --> 03:25:27.560
Deepak completely faithful in his teammate to get the job done there, didn't look around,

03:25:27.560 --> 03:25:36.880
didn't come off that diffuser just got the job done fanatic one zero Wow Wow and

03:25:36.880 --> 03:25:40.760
I was so I was so full of optimism at the start of that round about how they were

03:25:40.760 --> 03:25:45.040
approaching it smoking off Ivy window jumping into the wall's bathroom

03:25:45.040 --> 03:25:48.520
flooding in putting pressure on to a player and having your teammate then get

03:25:48.520 --> 03:25:52.400
the kill over your shoulder it's beautiful like this start here wisdom is dead

03:25:52.400 --> 03:25:55.640
surprised yet nothing he could do they've got three kills in the back of

03:25:55.640 --> 03:25:58.880
you. You know, it's a big

03:25:59.040 --> 03:25:59.920
loss. You know, you lost only

03:26:00.040 --> 03:26:01.080
one player to those shot in the

03:26:01.220 --> 03:26:02.980
middle. Even he was traded

03:26:03.120 --> 03:26:04.940
straight after it could not have

03:26:05.080 --> 03:26:06.780
gone better. How you go from

03:26:06.920 --> 03:26:08.820
that kind of position down to

03:26:08.940 --> 03:26:10.420
this without killing a single

03:26:10.540 --> 03:26:12.920
of the remaining two players

03:26:13.040 --> 03:26:15.120
are. Twist is going to be

03:26:15.240 --> 03:26:17.280
raging. Afe knows they've messed

03:26:17.420 --> 03:26:17.920
that up big time. Yeah, it's

03:26:18.040 --> 03:26:19.780
a big losses that one that

03:26:19.920 --> 03:26:20.920
those are the rounds that

03:26:21.040 --> 03:26:21.840
they cannot be given away.

03:26:21.980 --> 03:26:22.820
You know, if they lose this

03:26:22.940 --> 03:26:23.920
matchup and they're going to

03:26:53.920 --> 03:26:56.240
He's gonna get himself absolutely free then.

03:26:56.240 --> 03:26:58.440
It's snake, it's snake.

03:26:58.440 --> 03:26:59.800
It's unforgivable.

03:26:59.800 --> 03:27:02.000
He's got a gadget in his pocket.

03:27:02.000 --> 03:27:04.000
He's got a gadget in his pocket.

03:27:07.280 --> 03:27:09.080
I'm crashing, I'm crashing, aye.

03:27:10.680 --> 03:27:12.960
Here we are, I was so here for a team crash out.

03:27:15.440 --> 03:27:16.840
We'll see if the map gets much worse,

03:27:16.840 --> 03:27:19.240
and then you and Marto can have like a rage off

03:27:19.240 --> 03:27:21.040
on who can crash out the most.

03:27:21.040 --> 03:27:31.040
I think I am. I think I am. Right, okay, Kroxy's gonna get himself out to another Thor.

03:27:31.040 --> 03:27:42.040
He's thinking about causing more of a nuisance of himself. Maybe they'll let him kill the

03:27:42.040 --> 03:27:50.040
I don't know what to do with that tracking and dead shot manages to get another that's going to be more clear off the board as well one of the hard breaches what we the Hibana what necessarily

03:27:50.040 --> 03:27:51.040
What is that?

03:27:51.040 --> 03:28:03.040
Hard breaching, dead shot does find, well I think I've run it all over secret I mean honestly they're in free folders and I really, the thing is that I'm frustrated but I didn't expect this

03:28:03.040 --> 03:28:21.040
I was back in secret. I really thought we were gonna see, you know, more from them. We expect a good attack on Shalya, and right now, secret are in free fall. If you remember earlier, I said, you know, the question marks are there when they're under pressure, and right now, I think we're seeing exactly what I was saying.

03:28:21.040 --> 03:28:26.200
I you have no idea how badly I wanted croc to get the kill on to citizen by the way

03:28:27.400 --> 03:28:30.640
Just we could have got the kill without being trapped and that would have full sent you over the edge

03:28:30.880 --> 03:28:35.080
But I'm with you secret. Ah in freefall once again

03:28:35.080 --> 03:28:40.240
It just looks like fanatic of Turner patina. They simply aren't used to and fanatic

03:28:40.240 --> 03:28:42.680
I or what the hell do we do like how do we respond? What do we do?

03:28:42.680 --> 03:28:47.320
How do we deal with this? They came close in round one and honestly, I think lost their own accord

03:28:47.320 --> 03:28:51.760
ground 2 was much more controlled from Fnatic and I say controlled and that is

03:28:51.760 --> 03:28:54.960
crazy is what you see in here you know dead shot with the kills with a couple

03:28:54.960 --> 03:28:58.320
of soft soft walls cropped with the early kill that you got onto mud for

03:28:58.320 --> 03:29:02.920
example onto a solid state no less. One of them turned out to be very very

03:29:02.920 --> 03:29:12.120
interesting. Okay then on we go Fnatic continue their defensive rotation

03:29:12.120 --> 03:29:20.280
They're going to go to bar and gain and setting up on this and then they've got the Yague of a small, the Stork.

03:29:20.280 --> 03:29:21.880
Perhaps they have great success with the Stork.

03:29:21.880 --> 03:29:30.240
It's not so much through the gap, just through the loadout, I think, and kind of the ability to move quickly freely around the map.

03:29:30.240 --> 03:29:34.600
He's been doing a great job, so I would absolutely agree to just leave him on there.

03:29:34.600 --> 03:29:41.280
It's not too much verticality from the law for him to use, but if they can keep themselves above the resource, the possibility.

03:29:41.280 --> 03:29:55.280
I like this from Deadshot, getting at the windows, having a couple of bullets out of the window and just, you know, keeping them on their toes, making them know that they're now going to be pressed at every opportunity, because it seems to be that that's what Secret are finding difficult to deal with.

03:29:55.280 --> 03:30:02.280
As I said, it's that little bit of pressure, maybe in their own heads a little bit here, and then not playing their game, they're not playing as well as they can do.

03:30:02.280 --> 03:30:07.280
So absolutely, just keep right on top of them, just like we saw in the first game as well.

03:30:07.280 --> 03:30:11.400
Absolutely. I mean this is the question how fast can he put the cover and start getting

03:30:11.400 --> 03:30:15.560
themselves back into it before the game well and truly does run away from them.

03:30:15.560 --> 03:30:18.720
Just how this round goes out. They, of course, from the brava running through to

03:30:18.720 --> 03:30:21.120
take out what you'd normally expect to be a pretty standard bulletproof camera

03:30:21.120 --> 03:30:24.000
up on the stairs but it wasn't there. And what I love is that they're waiting for the

03:30:24.000 --> 03:30:27.240
bravas to get commuted out here and stuck and I was gonna say Dan Croft's

03:30:27.240 --> 03:30:30.120
been showing his face but no, they're shot it out now and they'll know that

03:30:30.120 --> 03:30:34.160
someone is stalking around but using this information to dart his way around a

03:30:34.160 --> 03:30:37.960
little bit sticks towards bar and game in the end was a bit of a headache if

03:30:37.960 --> 03:30:41.200
anyone tries to walk in through that front door now we go again dead shot

03:30:41.200 --> 03:30:45.120
with the entry on towards citizen what is mad Tim is we came into the big day

03:30:45.120 --> 03:30:48.280
saying oh that's a beautiful shot we were saying how good they've been on

03:30:48.280 --> 03:30:53.920
the entry 55% overall conversion has been their problem low 50s today I'm

03:30:53.920 --> 03:30:59.960
sorry I'm sorry slow down hold him on wait a minute what's he doing he's just

03:30:59.960 --> 03:31:03.280
He walks around like he's playing ranked and picks up three freebies,

03:31:03.280 --> 03:31:05.080
receiving no bother at all.

03:31:05.080 --> 03:31:07.600
You're chatting away, there's headshots to him.

03:31:07.600 --> 03:31:08.920
I've had the great time.

03:31:08.920 --> 03:31:10.680
Dead shots just get his guns.

03:31:10.680 --> 03:31:11.840
Okay, finally.

03:31:11.840 --> 03:31:12.760
Damage is done.

03:31:12.760 --> 03:31:16.520
He's taking the damos, the striker, and the ace off the board.

03:31:16.520 --> 03:31:17.720
They've got no hard breach.

03:31:17.720 --> 03:31:19.480
They've got very little utility.

03:31:19.480 --> 03:31:20.720
The damage is done.

03:31:20.720 --> 03:31:23.200
And they have to try and work their way through.

03:31:23.200 --> 03:31:25.080
The rest of the hold.

03:31:25.080 --> 03:31:26.600
They've got nerf down on bottom floor,

03:31:26.600 --> 03:31:28.600
nowhere upon top floor, which isn't ideal,

03:31:28.600 --> 03:31:31.680
because it means that they're massively separated now.

03:31:31.680 --> 03:31:33.920
So they're going to have no opportunity to impact

03:31:33.920 --> 03:31:34.800
on each other's kills.

03:31:34.800 --> 03:31:37.240
This is the stuff from Fnatic to be fair.

03:31:37.240 --> 03:31:39.040
However, gives himself up on the stairs,

03:31:39.040 --> 03:31:40.520
and that's then the second one.

03:31:40.520 --> 03:31:44.160
Noah's actually laid down really quickly to support his man.

03:31:44.160 --> 03:31:45.640
It's just being great close to positioning,

03:31:45.640 --> 03:31:47.840
but Noah's relocated, as I was saying it,

03:31:47.840 --> 03:31:50.200
and that's really good for them.

03:31:50.200 --> 03:31:52.080
It's a fantastic recovery, but...

03:31:52.080 --> 03:31:54.040
What is going on in this game?

03:31:54.040 --> 03:31:56.400
I can't blast secret in the previous round

03:31:56.400 --> 03:31:58.160
and not do the same to Fnatic here.

03:31:58.160 --> 03:32:03.520
Fnatic a five versus two. Now they're 1v2. What is happening?

03:32:05.460 --> 03:32:09.120
I think Deepak knows that the pressure is gonna come from downstairs. He's got the shot.

03:32:09.120 --> 03:32:10.520
Go nuts to walk. No.

03:32:10.520 --> 03:32:16.680
Surely he gets the second. He goes a little bit soon. The knif's gonna move and create the distance, but it doesn't matter.

03:32:16.680 --> 03:32:23.000
Deepak gets the 1v2 and rescues Fnatic's knif's. They're blushers, Thaz.

03:32:23.600 --> 03:32:26.240
Oh my god. I tell you what, man, they're even funnier.

03:32:26.240 --> 03:32:31.560
I got I was getting a couple of messages on what's that from someone on the fanatic back bedroom staff right that round

03:32:31.960 --> 03:32:35.760
They're sure got his 3k who's like I generally don't know what's happening playing so good

03:32:36.120 --> 03:32:39.520
Then they got down to the 1v2 and they were like, yeah, never mind. That's what's happening

03:32:39.520 --> 03:32:43.960
I was like lol no way and then defect does that. He's like never mind. I've not got a clue again

03:32:45.800 --> 03:32:53.320
That was bar me absolutely bar me up and down from start through to finish what around that was to witness

03:32:53.320 --> 03:32:58.920
I'm surprised. I'm surprised.

03:32:59.020 --> 03:33:00.220
We're going to see, uh, to us

03:33:00.320 --> 03:33:02.320
to take the tactical time out

03:33:02.420 --> 03:33:05.820
for team secret. Uh, the best

03:33:05.920 --> 03:33:07.820
word I think that I've used to

03:33:07.920 --> 03:33:09.820
describe this secret side so far

03:33:09.920 --> 03:33:11.720
on this performance is what I'll

03:33:11.820 --> 03:33:13.820
say again. It is freefall at

03:33:13.920 --> 03:33:15.320
the minute. They are just in

03:33:15.420 --> 03:33:17.720
freefall and they have to find

03:33:17.820 --> 03:33:19.220
a way of putting the brakes on

03:33:19.320 --> 03:33:21.220
here. Um that was what it's

03:33:21.220 --> 03:33:26.220
I said that at the time didn't

03:33:26.220 --> 03:33:28.220
know. I said that at the time I

03:33:28.220 --> 03:33:30.220
was kind of so just being like

03:33:30.220 --> 03:33:32.220
prone on the on the stairs. Look

03:33:32.220 --> 03:33:33.220
there's a few things there that

03:33:33.220 --> 03:33:35.220
I think secret or unlucky with

03:33:35.220 --> 03:33:37.220
look the real I was I was

03:33:37.220 --> 03:33:39.220
critical of nerf and noise

03:33:39.220 --> 03:33:40.220
position. They were so far

03:33:40.220 --> 03:33:41.220
separated one in basement one

03:33:41.220 --> 03:33:43.220
on top floors like this. They

03:33:43.220 --> 03:33:45.220
so open to one V ones. You

03:33:45.220 --> 03:33:46.220
know they're in a two V X.

03:33:46.220 --> 03:33:47.220
It needs to be kind of

03:33:47.220 --> 03:33:48.220
playing together so that they

03:33:48.220 --> 03:33:50.220
can use each other and trade

03:33:50.220 --> 03:34:10.220
I think real. Okay. It's really really quickly, Nathan gets a kill on to however is kind of left himself in no man's land. He's led prone, but all that does when you're on a platform at the top of stairs like that is actually just leave you at eye level. So he's, you know, he gets killed, but there's no is there to pack his teammate up and gets the kill on to the man just, you know, inside the wall.

03:34:10.220 --> 03:34:16.300
from secret to that point. And then another thing that they do right is the need in through

03:34:16.300 --> 03:34:21.820
Bardoa. The need in through Bardoa is particularly important because it forces the Pec away. And

03:34:21.820 --> 03:34:25.340
if you know that a player's on a shotgun, you want to force them away. You want to create

03:34:25.340 --> 03:34:29.540
a longer angle of engagement if you can because the shotguns will be less lethal at that

03:34:29.540 --> 03:34:34.180
greater distance. But again, there's just a bit of bad luck creeps in there because

03:34:34.180 --> 03:34:38.780
they don't quite create enough distance and it's still then just a single shot gets

03:34:38.780 --> 03:34:43.980
and it doesn't help that they're up against the SCS Shotgun, which as we know is particularly lethal.

03:34:43.980 --> 03:34:48.380
So there's a couple of moments of a little bit of bad luck for Secret there,

03:34:48.380 --> 03:34:52.780
and you know, Deepak does really well to dig his heels in and turn that around for Fnatic.

03:34:54.860 --> 03:35:00.220
All right, let's see if the madness continues, or if that tax timeout is going to have any

03:35:00.220 --> 03:35:03.820
impact for them. Savage working towards Office Storeway joined up there by

03:35:03.820 --> 03:35:07.820
I think they can fare as well. So, Halvin might be back to come under a little bit of pressure here.

03:35:07.820 --> 03:35:13.820
Of course, your 60 players come and go through Lobby at some point as well for now keeping the shield very, very quiet here.

03:35:13.820 --> 03:35:15.820
They want to catch them off guard here. I think they want to go fast.

03:35:19.820 --> 03:35:24.820
They're trying to go fast. The Blitzcores are racing in through the smokes. The path is already going down.

03:35:24.820 --> 03:35:29.820
Wizard does manage to stop the Blitz, but do they know about the plant? Can they do anything about it?

03:35:29.820 --> 03:35:33.720
They cannot flow versus four as Mowgli completes putting the case down

03:35:33.720 --> 03:35:38.820
Noah manages to find one with the DMR a spray through the software will find nothing from deadshot

03:35:38.820 --> 03:35:44.060
Who's then taken down summarily dispatched by Noah with the pistol four versus two

03:35:44.320 --> 03:35:51.160
Secret fighting back as Mowgli gets one for himself and surely it's all over deep it might have rescued them last time

03:35:51.160 --> 03:35:56.240
But not this time. He's gonna be taken out and secret gets their first round

03:35:57.280 --> 03:35:59.280
Absolutely essential for them

03:35:59.820 --> 03:36:04.820
I think it's a good one. Yeah,

03:36:04.820 --> 03:36:05.820
really good round from nowhere,

03:36:05.820 --> 03:36:06.820
especially there. Imagine find

03:36:06.820 --> 03:36:08.820
the gap getting inside the

03:36:08.820 --> 03:36:09.820
bathroom window and from there

03:36:09.820 --> 03:36:11.820
just planted his feet and found

03:36:11.820 --> 03:36:12.820
three massive kills. The main

03:36:12.820 --> 03:36:14.820
one on towards how Bruce playing

03:36:14.820 --> 03:36:16.820
around half wall. He was really

03:36:16.820 --> 03:36:17.820
the main agent of despair for

03:36:17.820 --> 03:36:18.820
secret. He was the one who

03:36:18.820 --> 03:36:19.820
could stop that plant going

03:36:19.820 --> 03:36:20.820
down who could do some real

03:36:20.820 --> 03:36:22.820
damage. So once he was dealt

03:36:22.820 --> 03:36:23.820
with. They have been it was

03:36:23.820 --> 03:36:25.820
in the redmore like a retake

03:36:25.820 --> 03:36:26.820
scenario for banana to play

03:36:26.820 --> 03:36:28.820
into. So it was what secret

03:36:28.820 --> 03:36:38.820
I'll make it continue. Okay,

03:36:38.820 --> 03:36:40.820
it's round five. We're going to

03:36:40.820 --> 03:36:42.820
be down in dining and kitchen.

03:36:42.820 --> 03:36:44.820
For our second to last defensive

03:36:44.820 --> 03:36:47.820
round for fanatic. I still feel

03:36:47.820 --> 03:36:49.820
like they are very much worth

03:36:49.820 --> 03:36:51.820
a five one half if they're able

03:36:51.820 --> 03:36:53.820
to secure it. They've looked

03:36:53.820 --> 03:36:55.820
really good through round one

03:36:55.820 --> 03:36:57.820
to three. That being said, a

03:36:57.820 --> 03:36:59.820
the

03:36:59.820 --> 03:37:01.820
game.

03:37:01.820 --> 03:37:03.820
We're all cooking for so they

03:37:03.820 --> 03:37:05.820
are starting to show some

03:37:05.820 --> 03:37:07.820
signs of weakness, and it may

03:37:07.820 --> 03:37:09.820
be just suggests that, you know,

03:37:09.820 --> 03:37:11.820
there's been a few rounds there

03:37:11.820 --> 03:37:13.820
that you could have lost that

03:37:13.820 --> 03:37:15.820
were maybe winnable.

03:37:15.820 --> 03:37:17.820
But I think we'll I'm sure

03:37:17.820 --> 03:37:19.820
look to continue that

03:37:19.820 --> 03:37:21.820
momentum.

03:37:21.820 --> 03:37:23.820
Okay, let's see if the

03:37:23.820 --> 03:37:25.820
Madness settles or to continue

03:37:25.820 --> 03:37:27.820
Top floor take to begin with, of course.

03:37:27.820 --> 03:37:30.180
Hopefully not some more crazy shots out of dead shots.

03:37:30.180 --> 03:37:33.820
Just completely kill off any of the real pressure coming through into the round itself.

03:37:33.820 --> 03:37:37.420
It was mostly a belief, actually, that someone was trying to challenge through library

03:37:37.420 --> 03:37:41.320
into World's piano where dead shot was then suddenly really sort of causing him some headaches.

03:37:41.320 --> 03:37:43.820
Right now, dead shot's the one dancing around on library hall itself.

03:37:43.820 --> 03:37:46.820
So could side step across into being where he was before,

03:37:46.820 --> 03:37:49.820
but we usually just kind of set up on the top floor here when you look across mares,

03:37:49.820 --> 03:37:52.820
across the library stairs, cause a little bit of bother.

03:37:52.820 --> 03:37:56.820
You don't want to hold it super aggressively on wager here when defending on this side in particular

03:37:56.820 --> 03:38:00.820
because you're more moved towards the topside. Baron gaming is absolutely perfect, but here

03:38:00.820 --> 03:38:04.500
it needs to be that little bit lighter, which is why I think he started to stop a library stairs

03:38:04.500 --> 03:38:09.060
and then has a shield to sit behind, which is that just off the piano itself, so you can still look to challenge.

03:38:10.180 --> 03:38:15.380
Nerf takes down Crocs. It's going to be the opener. Again, a good start for Team Secret,

03:38:15.380 --> 03:38:20.260
just keeping that momentum going for them. As Nerf manages to find another, it was actually

03:38:20.260 --> 03:38:22.800
as you can see, and they're

03:38:22.800 --> 03:38:25.800
building up to that point.

03:38:25.800 --> 03:38:26.660
Actually, they're who did a lot

03:38:26.660 --> 03:38:28.600
of the work last time and that

03:38:28.600 --> 03:38:30.460
big comeback that they had the

03:38:30.460 --> 03:38:33.300
six been the 61 comeback against

03:38:33.300 --> 03:38:35.540
GK Citizen, managing to find

03:38:35.540 --> 03:38:36.480
another. If we have a look, it's

03:38:36.480 --> 03:38:38.140
actually a big fight back from

03:38:38.140 --> 03:38:39.940
secret to get that entry

03:38:39.940 --> 03:38:41.780
because so far up to that point,

03:38:41.780 --> 03:38:42.780
it was three one in favor of

03:38:42.780 --> 03:38:44.340
fanatic on the entry. They've

03:38:44.340 --> 03:38:45.780
got one and they've built from

03:38:45.780 --> 03:38:46.820
there and got the round. Not

03:38:46.820 --> 03:38:47.680
only have they got the round.

03:38:47.680 --> 03:38:49.600
They've got it.

03:38:49.600 --> 03:38:54.960
again. Well, you know, secret had just been kind of away at the races for the first couple of

03:38:55.760 --> 03:38:59.760
first couple of rounds. She's not really present and then all of a sudden just wake up.

03:39:00.960 --> 03:39:04.640
What I will say is if you look at all the kills that happened that round, I've got about the

03:39:04.640 --> 03:39:07.760
one of the fifth one. I can't remember, but the first three in the very last one,

03:39:07.760 --> 03:39:11.360
so we wanted to get the fourth one. I know they all came from outside the building.

03:39:11.920 --> 03:39:15.200
And I think what's secret of red during that time out and what's been communicated

03:39:15.200 --> 03:39:19.200
by twister is look these guys are playing aggressive they're getting up in our face

03:39:19.200 --> 03:39:22.160
crocs that is getting up and waiting for our snakes trying to come in through mud

03:39:22.160 --> 03:39:25.680
the headshot is peeking everybody who's outside the map they're trying to disrupt us

03:39:25.680 --> 03:39:28.400
and we're giving it to them we're trying to be too fast we're trying to move in

03:39:28.400 --> 03:39:31.440
probably because of the map itself shall we we're trying to accelerate things

03:39:31.440 --> 03:39:35.040
in a more than we should slow things down play outside the map

03:39:35.040 --> 03:39:37.680
we know if we're actually moving in towards you and trying to make things

03:39:37.680 --> 03:39:40.480
happen just pick off players from that spot and I think that's what

03:39:40.480 --> 03:39:44.000
you see especially in that round just then is the change in playstyle for

03:39:44.000 --> 03:39:47.800
secret has rewarded them and now really comes on to fanatic side of things and

03:39:47.800 --> 03:39:51.440
they're into that to be able to say okay if they've done this they're changing

03:39:51.440 --> 03:39:55.120
play style what are we gonna do to respond and honestly Tim what they're doing

03:39:55.120 --> 03:39:58.520
in this round I think it's the right idea to play much more in behind the

03:39:58.520 --> 03:40:01.520
utility you've got the mirror you've got the Warden coming along you've got the

03:40:01.520 --> 03:40:04.920
Doc who's a big old chunky boy and then a lot of thrown utilities in our

03:40:04.920 --> 03:40:07.840
between the Jager and the Warden who yes can get out in Rome but they can

03:40:07.840 --> 03:40:11.120
also make sure that that site is very very hard to break open so that I

03:40:11.120 --> 03:40:12.960
I think they have a goalie here.

03:40:12.960 --> 03:40:15.480
Does that mean they'll get round six over the line?

03:40:15.480 --> 03:40:17.520
We'll find out they'll feel robbed to think if they don't

03:40:17.520 --> 03:40:18.960
because the three-three split.

03:40:18.960 --> 03:40:19.960
I'd have taken that at the start.

03:40:19.960 --> 03:40:21.960
They're going far with Ceca, probably.

03:40:24.520 --> 03:40:26.600
Yeah, I agree with you.

03:40:26.600 --> 03:40:29.680
They'll be looking to skewer the next two.

03:40:29.680 --> 03:40:31.960
Twitch strong goes in and drop that mirror window.

03:40:31.960 --> 03:40:35.800
So that at least makes library box a little bit trickier

03:40:35.800 --> 03:40:37.160
to play inside of.

03:40:37.160 --> 03:40:38.920
However, does get taken down.

03:40:38.920 --> 03:40:43.720
that's going to be no managing to find that kill bringing along the dock. Interesting choice

03:40:43.720 --> 03:40:50.280
could be for the bulletproof camera, of course, but not one that we see too often used at

03:40:50.280 --> 03:40:57.960
this sort of level. And again, secret I've got. I don't know anymore. Secret just seems

03:40:57.960 --> 03:41:04.200
to have given the red to wobble. Is it the time out? You know, what's been said

03:41:04.200 --> 03:41:08.160
in that time out that, you know, is created. We're going to have two flawless rounds

03:41:08.160 --> 03:41:11.860
to make sure that doesn't

03:41:11.860 --> 03:41:13.660
happen. Finds a kill on to

03:41:13.660 --> 03:41:15.660
more click. But right now he's

03:41:15.660 --> 03:41:17.660
going to close this out. You

03:41:17.660 --> 03:41:19.660
know, he's getting some until

03:41:19.660 --> 03:41:21.660
he finds one. Get shot on to

03:41:21.660 --> 03:41:23.660
another. Yeah, he gets a few,

03:41:23.660 --> 03:41:25.660
but they were always likely to

03:41:25.660 --> 03:41:27.660
just be exit kills. There's

03:41:27.660 --> 03:41:28.660
because you know that the

03:41:28.660 --> 03:41:30.660
sharks were circling at that

03:41:30.660 --> 03:41:32.660
point, secret get another what

03:41:32.660 --> 03:41:33.660
looks like fairly comfortable,

03:41:33.660 --> 03:41:35.660
casual round over line, and

03:41:35.660 --> 03:41:37.660
all of a sudden it's three

03:41:37.660 --> 03:41:39.700
I don't want to say.

03:41:39.700 --> 03:41:42.740
Noah is the diff, but Noah is the

03:41:42.740 --> 03:41:44.780
diff team he is absolutely flying.

03:41:44.780 --> 03:41:46.280
Let's go. Let's go to say about

03:41:46.280 --> 03:41:47.600
a domain talk more about Noah's

03:41:47.600 --> 03:41:48.980
privacy during that first half.

03:41:49.780 --> 03:41:51.100
Thank you very much guys.

03:41:51.100 --> 03:41:52.560
We're looking at his first half

03:41:52.560 --> 03:41:54.440
and we're kind of looking at two

03:41:54.440 --> 03:41:56.220
halves inside this first half as well.

03:41:56.220 --> 03:41:57.500
Yeah, it was a half of two halves.

03:41:57.500 --> 03:41:58.380
It really was, you know,

03:41:58.380 --> 03:41:59.980
fanatic babe raced out to a

03:41:59.980 --> 03:42:01.600
three no lead that was off the

03:42:01.600 --> 03:42:03.260
back of being aggressive really secret.

03:42:03.260 --> 03:42:04.820
Didn't really know what what was going

03:42:04.820 --> 03:42:06.060
to hit me. Looked like same old,

03:42:06.060 --> 03:42:07.260
same old secret and we're thinking,

03:42:07.260 --> 03:42:09.220
Hey, Fnatic really are there.

03:42:09.220 --> 03:42:10.820
I think that was off the back of Dead Shop.

03:42:10.820 --> 03:42:13.100
Dead Shop played really, you know, really, really well.

03:42:13.100 --> 03:42:15.260
Wrapped up a whole load of kills

03:42:15.260 --> 03:42:17.980
across the first half of the first half,

03:42:17.980 --> 03:42:19.420
and he was enjoying himself.

03:42:19.420 --> 03:42:22.340
He was really enjoying the way that Shallay plays out.

03:42:22.340 --> 03:42:23.780
He's been on a lot of good Shallay teams,

03:42:23.780 --> 03:42:25.220
so maybe he brings something different.

03:42:25.220 --> 03:42:27.740
Notice in his play account here on these kills,

03:42:27.740 --> 03:42:29.300
on these kills, how he smiles.

03:42:29.300 --> 03:42:30.620
He's really having a good time.

03:42:30.620 --> 03:42:31.900
This round actually came down to Deepak

03:42:31.900 --> 03:42:34.500
getting one versus two clutch to actually win it out.

03:42:34.500 --> 03:42:37.440
But, fantastic race since we're free middle league.

03:42:37.440 --> 03:42:39.640
But then, Twister called the timeout,

03:42:39.640 --> 03:42:41.680
and his timeout was Uber effective.

03:42:41.680 --> 03:42:44.080
And one player that carried all of that was Noa.

03:42:44.080 --> 03:42:47.280
So you see Noa right now, 13 kills, only four deaths.

03:42:47.280 --> 03:42:50.720
And he's the one that starts the whole thing together.

03:42:50.720 --> 03:42:54.000
After the tech timeout from Twister, they go for a rush.

03:42:54.000 --> 03:42:55.240
Let's take a look at round four,

03:42:55.240 --> 03:42:57.920
because it's really when everything starts shifting

03:42:57.920 --> 03:42:59.200
on the side of secret.

03:42:59.200 --> 03:43:00.600
That's the moment where we see

03:43:00.600 --> 03:43:02.000
all of that potential come together.

03:43:02.000 --> 03:43:04.920
They call the rush and ready surprise Natty.

03:43:04.920 --> 03:43:08.120
This is the blitz being killed here to bait for the plant.

03:43:08.120 --> 03:43:10.840
At the same time you have some flashes going on on master window.

03:43:10.840 --> 03:43:14.000
Look at Noah that went in from bathroom window at the top of the screen here.

03:43:14.000 --> 03:43:18.600
Gets a first peek, confirms piano pressure, gets a second peek onto the piano player

03:43:18.600 --> 03:43:22.360
and then will continue to hand down every single player here.

03:43:22.360 --> 03:43:25.600
Another kill onto the master player and then will go back to piano and again

03:43:25.600 --> 03:43:27.840
challenge the office and piano player.

03:43:27.840 --> 03:43:31.760
That is an incredible round from Noah that kicks off the back of secret.

03:43:31.760 --> 03:43:36.480
come back a secret. Coaches are worth their weight in gold or they can be worth their weight in gold.

03:43:36.480 --> 03:43:40.320
Twister when he called his timeout he said guys and he hadn't even seen round three at that point

03:43:40.320 --> 03:43:44.480
he said guys don't know what happened in round three. Rounds one and two I've noticed two things

03:43:44.480 --> 03:43:49.040
they're not bringing a bulletproof cameras and they're not bringing a warden. Do direct takes

03:43:49.040 --> 03:43:52.800
and you'll find success. We've just seen that round that kickstarted secret and then they're

03:43:52.800 --> 03:43:56.560
back. The other thing to note actually was that it was actually very much citizen and a nape that

03:43:56.560 --> 03:43:59.560
that were shotcalling and jailing the team around,

03:43:59.560 --> 03:44:01.880
very little of savage inside of the half-bought

03:44:01.880 --> 03:44:04.640
that combat came primarily because of Twister's call.

03:44:04.640 --> 03:44:05.760
Greenman the most removed.

03:44:05.760 --> 03:44:07.160
If you wanna carry that moment to be sure,

03:44:07.160 --> 03:44:08.200
continue to be aggressive.

03:44:08.200 --> 03:44:10.400
If you wanna leverage the skill set of Secret,

03:44:10.400 --> 03:44:12.160
which is the Royal Firepower,

03:44:12.160 --> 03:44:13.760
this is exactly the bands that you do.

03:44:13.760 --> 03:44:14.840
It's kind of what you were suggesting,

03:44:14.840 --> 03:44:16.440
right, bringing in more of that Twisted Minds.

03:44:16.440 --> 03:44:18.000
Yeah, maybe a little bit, yeah.

03:44:18.000 --> 03:44:19.480
Yeah, I mean, we're seeing that aggression

03:44:19.480 --> 03:44:20.960
and so far it's working well,

03:44:20.960 --> 03:44:23.760
especially in that second half of the first half.

03:44:23.760 --> 03:44:24.680
The real question is now,

03:44:24.680 --> 03:44:27.560
Secret can continue that and get the second buff in the bag.

03:44:30.160 --> 03:44:30.960
Thank you very much, Anne.

03:44:30.960 --> 03:44:32.600
We will see if they can get it in the bag.

03:44:32.600 --> 03:44:35.400
We'll see if this turns into a good combat for them after,

03:44:35.400 --> 03:44:39.320
like you guys said, a pretty disastrous first half of the first half,

03:44:39.320 --> 03:44:41.080
i.e. a quarter.

03:44:41.080 --> 03:44:44.000
We're saying a half or two halves, and I was like, guys, it's called a quarter.

03:44:44.000 --> 03:44:46.680
It was pretty disastrous a secret, but it has been recovered.

03:44:47.200 --> 03:44:48.040
Let's see how things go down.

03:44:48.040 --> 03:44:49.760
The boots are on the other foot, so fanatic.

03:44:49.760 --> 03:44:52.640
I'm going to kick things off on the attack team here on the top floor.

03:44:52.640 --> 03:44:59.640
to be a third map of bank. It

03:44:59.640 --> 03:45:01.640
didn't look very likely for the

03:45:01.640 --> 03:45:03.640
first three rounds, but then

03:45:03.640 --> 03:45:04.640
it is completely flip flopped. It

03:45:04.640 --> 03:45:06.640
has gone the other way and the

03:45:06.640 --> 03:45:08.640
secret look like never losing

03:45:08.640 --> 03:45:10.640
another round again over the

03:45:10.640 --> 03:45:11.640
last three. So who knows which

03:45:11.640 --> 03:45:12.640
way this one will go for

03:45:12.640 --> 03:45:13.640
attic? I know I'm going to

03:45:13.640 --> 03:45:15.640
have a slightly tougher time of

03:45:15.640 --> 03:45:16.640
things. I would expect now that

03:45:16.640 --> 03:45:17.640
they are on the attack

03:45:17.640 --> 03:45:18.640
because I'm going to be

03:45:18.640 --> 03:45:22.960
is slightly tougher time of things I would expect now that they are on the attack. Secret

03:45:22.960 --> 03:45:27.640
get three rounds and are able to play the game at their pace now that they are on the

03:45:27.640 --> 03:45:32.320
defence. We've got Morgler with Nitro, Writter ready out and the window it goes. Not going

03:45:32.320 --> 03:45:37.320
to do any damage up and they managed to avoid that one so the first trap has been sidestepped.

03:45:37.320 --> 03:45:42.320
That's for now. Just a little quick second to come back and talk about it Tim. We're

03:45:42.320 --> 03:45:45.480
going to mention there and of course the despector getting at the half-time in

03:45:45.480 --> 03:45:50.600
to share their thoughts too, but 3-3 case in that first half, I think it was rounds 3, 5 and 6,

03:45:51.640 --> 03:45:55.480
really made himself known and I think it was very instrumental in part of that combat that

03:45:55.480 --> 03:45:59.880
Sifra had. Round 4, 5 was the floor to the front over also, because he was trying to get himself

03:45:59.880 --> 03:46:03.240
through on that one, he gets because he's getting involved too. But if he carries on playing

03:46:03.240 --> 03:46:06.760
the Alcibiac, if he carries on playing the way that he has been, then nobody's through cruising,

03:46:06.760 --> 03:46:10.120
but no, he's the first to fall in this round. Now where are the rest of the kills on his

03:46:10.120 --> 03:46:13.880
team. Very spread. Very fit.

03:46:13.880 --> 03:46:16.280
Maze manages to get 1-0 of the things up

03:46:16.280 --> 03:46:19.080
forward versus forward, but deep back onto

03:46:19.080 --> 03:46:21.480
Morgley. Again, Secret just finding a

03:46:21.480 --> 03:46:24.440
little bit of difficulty in getting

03:46:24.440 --> 03:46:26.600
space on this defence. Everywhere they've

03:46:26.600 --> 03:46:28.360
tried to move around the map there has

03:46:28.360 --> 03:46:30.760
been a fanatic gun pointing.

03:46:30.760 --> 03:46:33.880
Game working well as a team is

03:46:33.880 --> 03:46:36.440
creating difficult situations for Secret.

03:46:36.440 --> 03:46:38.680
There's no escape route for them

03:46:38.680 --> 03:46:42.680
I mean, essentially, we're gonna see it's only utility dealing with the shield there, though.

03:46:42.680 --> 03:46:46.440
There was a razor bloom, there was a stun, there was all sorts going on,

03:46:46.440 --> 03:46:50.040
but again, fanatic at the end for the trade wizard.

03:46:50.040 --> 03:46:53.960
Manages to get it, gets that F2 singing, three versus two.

03:46:53.960 --> 03:46:55.960
Salt, Teneff and Savage.

03:46:55.960 --> 03:46:59.480
It is here. This is where the question comes in when we see the top frag running to the side

03:46:59.480 --> 03:47:03.480
who has dragged them through at least two of those rounds that they won in the back end of the last half.

03:47:03.480 --> 03:47:06.200
How do they recover? Who then steps and makes themselves count?

03:47:06.200 --> 03:47:08.440
We're about to find out. So we've seen both teams.

03:47:08.440 --> 03:47:11.320
It was recovered by Fnatic.

03:47:11.320 --> 03:47:13.720
So let's see if both teams throw away a four versus two

03:47:13.720 --> 03:47:15.320
or at least a couple of men in advantage.

03:47:15.320 --> 03:47:18.280
A three versus two Fnatic here isn't a guarantee win,

03:47:18.280 --> 03:47:19.880
especially not on the attacking side.

03:47:19.880 --> 03:47:20.760
And there's the jump.

03:47:20.760 --> 03:47:24.360
As he was sat on the drone, he's literally watched his own death, Tim.

03:47:26.120 --> 03:47:27.560
Yeah, you hate that, don't you?

03:47:27.560 --> 03:47:29.800
And you just know you're not going to be able to get off the drone in time.

03:47:29.800 --> 03:47:33.400
Nerf manages to find Wizard at Leaves, Crocs in a one of E2.

03:47:33.400 --> 03:47:34.600
He does have full health.

03:47:34.600 --> 03:47:38.200
that's something at least but everybody against him does as well. I'm sure it's a matter of

03:47:38.200 --> 03:47:42.960
time until that peak for Tiff, Fnatic, they were struggling, Secret had a nice crossfire

03:47:42.960 --> 03:47:46.480
there, they knew that he was just going to move into that kill zone and when he did,

03:47:46.480 --> 03:47:51.240
it was going to be good night game over and that's exactly what happens. So, that

03:47:51.240 --> 03:47:55.200
sees Team Secret take themselves another round and on we move.

03:47:55.200 --> 03:47:59.320
You know what I was saying about the whole multi kills thing, like literally solo winning

03:47:59.320 --> 03:48:06.920
rounds they should just walk to 4k. He should just walk to 4k from a similar position where

03:48:06.920 --> 03:48:11.080
everyone it felt seemed to know where he was and there's just some praise being cleaned up there.

03:48:11.080 --> 03:48:14.680
The scene is occurring at the beginning with as well which is what makes it even worse.

03:48:15.240 --> 03:48:19.160
Real pain to experience on the side of Fnatic but the name and the rest of secret

03:48:19.160 --> 03:48:25.400
it's a bit of a reprieve because for the first time in the series they are now ahead.

03:48:29.320 --> 03:48:33.960
That's the secret hand of that, that I said that they were struggling to kind of play against the pressure at times.

03:48:33.960 --> 03:48:39.440
And that's certainly how it seemed, but maybe that takes a little bit off, maybe that lifts the weight.

03:48:39.440 --> 03:48:43.800
Nerf has gone one way towards doing a lot of that work, supported by Nord.

03:48:43.800 --> 03:48:48.320
21 kills between the two of them, seven between the best of the team.

03:48:48.320 --> 03:48:53.320
Difficult to find them, of course, Redmore and Nerf are poovering them all up as they are.

03:48:53.320 --> 03:48:56.440
It just means that maybe Cepat have got...

03:48:56.440 --> 03:49:11.440
It's one of two things, either if those two guys go quiet secret could be in trouble again, or alternatively, it means that secret have got more strength and depth, because the others are just waiting, poised, ready to get into this game in a more meaningful way, so that's it.

03:49:11.440 --> 03:49:21.440
They continue this time attacking onto kitchen and dining, so they're going to want some top floor control office is going to be the area particularly, that they need to stop secret hanging out.

03:49:21.440 --> 03:49:27.460
And then they can think about getting downstairs for a plant inside a guy and that's based on them shaking up around

03:49:27.880 --> 03:49:32.240
The lively side of things is no pressure on solar or trophy at the minute

03:49:32.240 --> 03:49:35.500
So it suggests that they're not gonna be going for a push from that side

03:49:39.120 --> 03:49:43.360
He's off early on towards the Ivy window and then the pressure burning of the scene at any of time before

03:49:44.560 --> 03:49:48.660
Sticking around a tune through a bunch to shoot facility. We saw rush you how we're in the previous round

03:49:48.660 --> 03:49:51.900
I think we're going forward through it, which smoke was being tagged out by 4-1 as well,

03:49:51.900 --> 03:49:53.780
at the same time being shot at by a citizen.

03:49:53.780 --> 03:49:54.940
It wasn't a pretty affair.

03:49:54.940 --> 03:49:55.780
So you might look at it and go,

03:49:55.780 --> 03:49:58.060
is it really worth it to clear out a razor bloom?

03:49:58.060 --> 03:50:00.860
I'd say yes, given me a part that has happened before.

03:50:04.500 --> 03:50:06.060
The door is going to get opened.

03:50:06.060 --> 03:50:08.860
And you can see more utility being cleared away.

03:50:08.860 --> 03:50:11.340
Piano window is clear, Savage takes a peek,

03:50:11.340 --> 03:50:14.780
takes an aggressive fight onto deadshot and wins it.

03:50:14.780 --> 03:50:16.980
That's going to just release a little bit of the pressure

03:50:16.980 --> 03:50:24.180
that was about to start mounting a round fireplace and so it gives them at least a little bit of

03:50:24.980 --> 03:50:28.260
breathing space, a little bit of a reprieve here for secrets.

03:50:28.260 --> 03:50:33.940
The attic have got themselves on into library and can start pushing forward from there.

03:50:33.940 --> 03:50:39.700
The crouch just saving citizen there as he moves across doesn't get spotted out wizard,

03:50:39.700 --> 03:50:44.740
however, does find there's no saving him. So part of that question that I asked

03:50:45.700 --> 03:50:49.620
Are the others able to step up when things have been quiet for them previously?

03:50:49.620 --> 03:50:51.540
Is in part going to be answered, Noah.

03:50:51.540 --> 03:50:55.700
The last of that dynamic duo left alive with Nerf being taken out.

03:50:55.700 --> 03:50:58.660
It leaves us 4 vs 4, 59 seconds left to go.

03:50:58.660 --> 03:51:00.980
Wizard feeding that intel back into his team.

03:51:01.780 --> 03:51:05.380
Yeah. How they are active for that information is the most critical part.

03:51:05.380 --> 03:51:07.380
They get the notifications that they know where you are.

03:51:07.380 --> 03:51:10.020
You've of course got the recharge, have to worry about two.

03:51:10.020 --> 03:51:12.500
Several things that I mean they've got to step forward at this start again.

03:51:12.500 --> 03:51:16.500
The kills they find one but it is traded out and they're into another that name again

03:51:16.580 --> 03:51:20.000
Just keeps on coming up on your screens. Alva stepping in look at what he can

03:51:20.000 --> 03:51:23.420
It's got one nice and close to it, but it's got away out this fight gets the knockdown now be the

03:51:25.420 --> 03:51:31.880
But Morgan from behind managed to get it back as a trade now down to a 1v1 is deep back coming up against savage with

03:51:32.280 --> 03:51:34.280
20 seconds on the clock

03:51:36.020 --> 03:51:38.020
He's got

03:51:38.020 --> 03:51:41.860
Real job ahead of him here, 15 seconds left to go, Savage.

03:51:41.860 --> 03:51:44.900
He's just holding a long angle, he's just waiting for him to appear,

03:51:44.900 --> 03:51:47.460
although he does take a little bit of movement had he waited.

03:51:47.460 --> 03:51:49.780
He might have had an opportunity, Deepak stunned out,

03:51:49.780 --> 03:51:53.140
does have defuser in hand, but he knows he needs to try and find the kill.

03:51:53.140 --> 03:51:57.540
He goes around the corner, gets his man, Deepak rescues Fnatic again.

03:51:59.140 --> 03:52:03.940
Again, twice in one map. Without that, Tim, we're staring down the barrel here

03:52:03.940 --> 03:52:06.900
of this map basically being cut. We could have been by this point,

03:52:06.900 --> 03:52:11.860
It could have been well up past six over on towards seven and the mat would have been done or we'll be looking on towards our next

03:52:12.100 --> 03:52:15.380
It's the same as how just a couple of days ago someone we watched fanatic play

03:52:15.380 --> 03:52:21.320
He was to save you for them on labs. You remember down the basement here a wonderful 3k and then a clutch in the following round

03:52:21.940 --> 03:52:26.000
He just will not sit down doesn't matter if he's the old guard of this roster

03:52:26.000 --> 03:52:31.420
They'll still keep on shining. However, but that's it calling attack time out here to see if they can get these wheels

03:52:31.420 --> 03:52:33.420
So just a little bit faster

03:52:33.420 --> 03:53:00.420
I think this is a good time to take it really on the back of that win. You know talk about maybe what the difference was what went right what went wrong. It still came down to a 1v1 so it certainly wasn't an ideal round. And I think now you could provide a blue parent for the next couple of rounds the big focus for fantastic for now I think is going to be getting themselves on to six obviously it's easy to say you know yeah of course they just want to go on and get the win and get this done.

03:53:00.420 --> 03:53:07.520
I think if they can focus on getting a couple of rounds and giving themselves that match point opportunity guarantee a little bit of overtime

03:53:07.520 --> 03:53:13.340
Then who knows what might happen. I think that's kind of gonna be immediate focus. Let's get five. Let's get six

03:53:13.340 --> 03:53:18.260
Let's go from there and then we've got every chance of turning them over on their map pick

03:53:18.260 --> 03:53:21.900
But it's gonna be a hard loss is that round four secret as well

03:53:21.900 --> 03:53:28.180
The thorn didn't really know kind of which way to turn at that point and it was always gonna be a difficult one for Mowgli

03:53:28.180 --> 03:53:35.020
Sorry for Savage at the end there and yeah it's a tough loss for them to absorb really.

03:53:35.020 --> 03:53:39.500
Savage had a long angle that he was holding but then decided to move up and just caused

03:53:39.500 --> 03:53:44.420
that gap a little bit, got himself a bit stranded on West Main Stairs and ultimately ended up

03:53:44.420 --> 03:53:51.260
having to take that fight and lost it so I'm going to deep pick and we go on, 4-4.

03:53:51.260 --> 03:53:54.020
Game onwards we wrecked.

03:53:54.020 --> 03:53:57.020
For a second I was really excited we were going to see Rara coming out there.

03:53:57.020 --> 03:54:01.020
We heard in the pre-show and you and I spoke about it a little bit as well, of course, to change the she's got.

03:54:01.020 --> 03:54:06.020
And that make her a very, very interesting operator for, since she rushes, early executes.

03:54:06.020 --> 03:54:09.020
Even executes in general because of the increased range that she's now got.

03:54:09.020 --> 03:54:14.020
It was really cool to see her team try and start finding out more ways of making use of her now, just a little bit stronger.

03:54:14.020 --> 03:54:21.020
Another bunch of teams that we spoke to in the early days when she first came around were like, yeah, we've got some, you know, real cool little, like, knee-straps to try and use and ways to use,

03:54:21.020 --> 03:54:23.020
but still quite experimental for now.

03:54:23.020 --> 03:54:29.660
the worst of every operator in the game, the worst round win percentage at any of the operator.

03:54:29.660 --> 03:54:33.020
And a lot of teams then sort of stopped playing. It was very rare we saw her for a while. So

03:54:33.020 --> 03:54:37.220
at least personally, Tim, I'm hoping to see more of her as the weeks go by.

03:54:37.220 --> 03:54:43.140
Patero's doing big work again. We've already seen this previously from Kanati-Kona-Tak,

03:54:43.140 --> 03:54:47.100
just taking away a lot of that utility. We've got Barbed Wire and Banshee's being cleared

03:54:47.100 --> 03:54:51.620
away ahead of the pass. It's likely to be a good report on the pass that Haver

03:54:51.620 --> 03:54:53.180
will be taking on the Blackbeard.

03:54:53.180 --> 03:54:55.060
He's going to do the one that they want to make sure

03:54:55.060 --> 03:54:57.340
is free to move as required.

03:54:57.340 --> 03:54:58.180
How about that though?

03:54:58.180 --> 03:55:00.540
Mowgli manages to get himself out of trophy window,

03:55:00.540 --> 03:55:01.540
free beyond to wizard.

03:55:01.540 --> 03:55:03.660
That's a big pick up to start things off

03:55:03.660 --> 03:55:06.940
of 15 secret, big advantage taking the Twitch drone

03:55:06.940 --> 03:55:07.780
off the board.

03:55:07.780 --> 03:55:10.700
I'm not sure how much of the other utility

03:55:10.700 --> 03:55:12.580
that the Twitch would normally focus on,

03:55:12.580 --> 03:55:15.140
things like the bulletproof cam, the proximity alarms.

03:55:15.140 --> 03:55:16.820
How much of that has been dealt with

03:55:16.820 --> 03:55:18.260
before they've lost that line?

03:55:18.260 --> 03:55:24.260
I've got to press on as they might do for the man down, fortunately here in half the round, still some work with it.

03:55:24.260 --> 03:55:26.260
Got the light of control that was beaten, but not an instant target.

03:55:26.260 --> 03:55:29.260
There's still two players looking to challenge deadshot, getting rid of Noah.

03:55:29.260 --> 03:55:34.260
If you can kill anyone on that secret side right now, he feels like the best one to be catching out.

03:55:34.260 --> 03:55:37.260
It isn't at least reminding them though that they have another layer of defence to fall back to,

03:55:37.260 --> 03:55:40.260
and they still haven't cleared top library just yet.

03:55:40.260 --> 03:55:47.260
the corner. He's the man just

03:55:47.260 --> 03:55:49.260
sticking his head out of IV

03:55:49.260 --> 03:55:50.260
tries the little pop shot

03:55:50.260 --> 03:55:51.260
through the wall but doesn't

03:55:51.260 --> 03:55:52.260
get any joy with it for

03:55:52.260 --> 03:55:53.260
natic in a situation where

03:55:53.260 --> 03:55:54.260
they've got a little bit of

03:55:54.260 --> 03:55:56.260
damage taken as well. However,

03:55:56.260 --> 03:55:57.260
and dead shot with a little

03:55:57.260 --> 03:55:58.260
bit of chip on there that

03:55:58.260 --> 03:56:00.260
they just need to be aware

03:56:00.260 --> 03:56:03.260
and cautious of and.

03:56:03.260 --> 03:56:06.260
Continue trying to dislodge

03:56:06.260 --> 03:56:07.260
the secret players. They're

03:56:07.260 --> 03:56:09.260
still inside a bar stock. I

03:56:09.260 --> 03:56:13.100
be fairly happy with their positions at the minute. Mowgli is there ready for if

03:56:13.100 --> 03:56:16.300
anybody jumps in through that double window. That's the peak that we keep

03:56:16.300 --> 03:56:20.540
seeing him look around with. They have the Ratero moving there for the time being, but

03:56:20.540 --> 03:56:23.980
he'll just maneuver back in there as soon as that detonation's gone off.

03:56:23.980 --> 03:56:27.660
There's nobody in position from Fnatic to be able to really take advantage of

03:56:27.660 --> 03:56:32.020
that somebody in, you know, sort of double window or in fireplace, for example,

03:56:32.020 --> 03:56:35.300
that have that angle through the door maybe. They've not really been able to

03:56:35.300 --> 03:56:39.300
secure those areas and take advantage of that utility that they're using.

03:56:39.300 --> 03:56:45.300
Now without that last 15, it's going to start getting very very low. Each starting with the word.

03:56:45.300 --> 03:56:50.300
A little bit wrong here for Fanatic and sure enough, two kills flying through for Nath and Mowgli.

03:56:50.300 --> 03:56:54.300
Denying the entry into the site of Fanatic themselves, however, two kills are going on back through.

03:56:54.300 --> 03:56:57.300
They're going to try and stick this. You might try as he wants to, but he's got a kill stab at you.

03:56:57.300 --> 03:57:01.300
Rightly so, backs away into War's Lobby. Doesn't want to get involved there in the dying seconds,

03:57:01.300 --> 03:57:03.300
and they see the round over the line.

03:57:03.300 --> 03:57:07.300
line. Yeah, we start seeing

03:57:07.300 --> 03:57:08.300
this one become much more

03:57:08.300 --> 03:57:09.300
competitive than it was in the

03:57:09.300 --> 03:57:11.300
first map and the beginning of

03:57:11.300 --> 03:57:13.300
the second secret now really on

03:57:13.300 --> 03:57:15.300
the trail looking to get their

03:57:15.300 --> 03:57:16.300
map secured and take us into

03:57:16.300 --> 03:57:18.300
number three on bank. They

03:57:18.300 --> 03:57:20.300
will continue working at

03:57:20.300 --> 03:57:21.300
shallow, but it is a good

03:57:21.300 --> 03:57:23.300
round from them in round nine

03:57:23.300 --> 03:57:24.300
where they're able to get it

03:57:24.300 --> 03:57:27.300
over the line. I've for this

03:57:27.300 --> 03:57:28.300
one. It is still anybody's

03:57:28.300 --> 03:57:30.300
don't discount fanatic at

03:57:30.300 --> 03:57:31.300
this point. But you do feel

03:57:31.300 --> 03:57:32.300
that secret now are in the

03:57:32.300 --> 03:57:35.940
that advantage at least things are starting to creep in their favor things

03:57:35.940 --> 03:57:39.940
like the entry kills they've just gone five four now on the entry so they've

03:57:39.940 --> 03:57:44.180
taken the lead on the entry for the first time as well as now taking the

03:57:44.180 --> 03:57:49.620
lead on the scoreboard so everything's kind of edging in their favor it's you

03:57:49.620 --> 03:57:53.420
feel a matter of time as the way things stand until they get themselves at

03:57:53.420 --> 03:57:58.740
least on to that map point opportunity. Yeah looking good aren't they?

03:57:58.740 --> 03:58:04.180
Then if you keep synpanatic staying lockstep and keep things nice and tight, then overtime

03:58:04.180 --> 03:58:05.180
may be a bomb.

03:58:05.180 --> 03:58:07.940
Because we were very optimistic the day saying, oh yeah, we're sure we'll get some overtime

03:58:07.940 --> 03:58:09.580
at some point in one of these games today.

03:58:09.580 --> 03:58:13.580
And then we just had two zeros that were absolutely rollovers to the most part.

03:58:13.580 --> 03:58:16.180
And it felt like we were having that a little bit today in our first series.

03:58:16.180 --> 03:58:17.180
It was definitely the case.

03:58:17.180 --> 03:58:20.500
We weren't super optimistic for this game and we thought that might be a bit of

03:58:20.500 --> 03:58:21.500
a stomp by secret.

03:58:21.500 --> 03:58:24.460
We really got to synpanatic fight their way through.

03:58:24.460 --> 03:58:27.940
If this then mandates that we go to bank to see how things close out, that feels

03:58:27.940 --> 03:58:32.940
It was like the perfect battleground to set it on, baseman team for these two to use so far tonight.

03:58:34.940 --> 03:58:36.940
Five seconds to insertion.

03:58:37.940 --> 03:58:43.940
It's like we've done the denarii. We get a lot of denarii setups over this side of shallot.

03:58:43.940 --> 03:58:51.940
On the top floor you see though I really kind of lock connected to use the middle point over the top of...

03:58:51.940 --> 03:59:08.940
You go up half the wall, up small wall, up the wall with the piano, and use the kind of connecting point over the top of there, and it means that you can get an entire gun from bathroom down to piano window, so it does make them super popular up here, and very difficult to take care of, actually, to take care of.

03:59:08.940 --> 03:59:13.940
I'm afraid. No, he gets out

03:59:13.940 --> 03:59:15.940
there gets the job done and

03:59:15.940 --> 03:59:17.940
gets back in safely, even though

03:59:17.940 --> 03:59:19.940
it was being watched. Big

03:59:19.940 --> 03:59:22.940
loss for fanatic. Fortunately,

03:59:22.940 --> 03:59:24.940
yeah, because again, the sense

03:59:24.940 --> 03:59:25.940
being lost spoke about a lot of

03:59:25.940 --> 03:59:26.940
the utility, maybe not being

03:59:26.940 --> 03:59:28.940
used to his best effects

03:59:28.940 --> 03:59:29.940
in the previous round. Tim and

03:59:29.940 --> 03:59:30.940
the fox certainly didn't help

03:59:30.940 --> 03:59:31.940
and I think you see more of

03:59:31.940 --> 03:59:36.940
that here as well.

03:59:36.940 --> 03:59:41.540
Well, where does it isn't?

03:59:41.540 --> 03:59:42.940
That was Halva died there.

03:59:44.940 --> 03:59:46.180
I think the other end of the line

03:59:46.180 --> 03:59:48.300
is how three secret players died there.

03:59:48.300 --> 03:59:51.180
Fernandes have got themselves back into an advantage here.

03:59:51.180 --> 03:59:54.100
There's three versus two, despite losing the sense

03:59:54.100 --> 03:59:54.940
and the monty.

03:59:54.940 --> 03:59:56.140
This is still very doable.

03:59:56.140 --> 03:59:59.220
The problem that they've got is that lack of utility now.

03:59:59.220 --> 04:00:01.020
Of course, you know, a lot of the plant

04:00:01.020 --> 04:00:03.540
will have been focused around those two.

04:00:03.540 --> 04:00:05.060
They do still have Deepak,

04:00:05.060 --> 04:00:10.580
who's got those arrows on the capitao, both smokes and both fires still available.

04:00:10.580 --> 04:00:14.540
And they've got time on their side as well, that's the other one at the minute.

04:00:14.540 --> 04:00:16.780
They're just waiting for a little bit of intel here.

04:00:16.780 --> 04:00:19.220
Look, they don't know how close he is.

04:00:19.220 --> 04:00:21.540
Look, he just dances away.

04:00:21.540 --> 04:00:23.260
The challenge is there, wizard.

04:00:23.260 --> 04:00:24.780
Almost has his man.

04:00:25.780 --> 04:00:26.940
Yeah, and Wally's here as well.

04:00:26.940 --> 04:00:28.580
They're constant. Right now, they've got to be careful.

04:00:28.580 --> 04:00:32.660
The ploy is basically lava, they can't safely step into plants seemingly anywhere.

04:00:32.660 --> 04:00:39.660
So at least if that cover coming off it should force them backwards, secret should be pushed back into the other site and then they can look for a plant here.

04:00:39.660 --> 04:00:48.660
I guess the nice thing for fanatic is they haven't got to rush this team. They've got 60 seconds to play with another phone call, they've got smoke, they've got fire, they've got flashes.

04:00:48.660 --> 04:00:53.660
On paper now, looking at the current state of the round, fanatic should not lose this.

04:00:53.660 --> 04:01:00.660
I pray we don't get the fanatic in the desktop route, then we get to see more of map 1 fanatic, but let's see how it goes from here.

04:01:00.660 --> 04:01:10.660
Mowgli and Nerf are playing this nicely though. They're not over-committing, they're burning time down, that's 30 seconds that they've done so far, using utility, playing behind it and keeping themselves in 12 angles.

04:01:10.660 --> 04:01:21.660
The diffuser is going down, as you say, so Nerf has to make a move, deadshot punishes Mowgli, and that changes Nerf's situation drastically, D-Pick picks him up, and that levels us up again.

04:01:21.660 --> 04:01:29.660
Five, five on the scoreboard, as I said, this one continues to rattle backwards and forwards between the two of them.

04:01:29.660 --> 04:01:37.660
Well, another interesting round where in the middle of it it just felt like a lot of bullets were fired and a bunch of people died and Fnatic came out with a bad advantage.

04:01:37.660 --> 04:01:44.160
It was very, very strange again because for me, like, however in the Monty, I was like, you can't be dying there, that's your, this is your spots being.

04:01:44.160 --> 04:01:53.660
Like, you're facing in towards the door where Citizen is and then somehow he's gone. Very, very strange. However, they managed to recover well and the 3 vs 2, like I said, on 34 and 50 seconds were left.

04:01:53.660 --> 04:01:56.660
They couldn't be losing that. It looks absolutely perfect for them.

04:01:56.660 --> 04:01:58.660
So, make it what you will,

04:01:58.660 --> 04:02:01.260
I'm looking away from that one in very, very good health.

04:02:01.260 --> 04:02:03.260
Now, let's see how things go from 5-5 to more,

04:02:03.260 --> 04:02:07.260
at least guaranteed to see all 12 rounds of regulation

04:02:07.260 --> 04:02:10.760
may yet see overtime come our way.

04:02:13.760 --> 04:02:16.160
Whoo, an exciting prospect between these two, to be honest.

04:02:16.160 --> 04:02:18.960
This has turned into a really good game here on Chalet,

04:02:18.960 --> 04:02:21.860
especially the really hot battling backwards and forwards,

04:02:21.860 --> 04:02:24.760
and just as soon as one feels like they've got themselves

04:02:24.760 --> 04:02:30.580
to work forward. The other is able to find a way back into it. We're going to see this

04:02:30.580 --> 04:02:36.800
time secret bringing along the clash, the malusia, the lesion. This is all about slowing

04:02:36.800 --> 04:02:41.940
them down. Deepak on the blitz says they've read into that beautifully because that's

04:02:41.940 --> 04:02:46.020
exactly what it's aimed at. You bring those traps, you bring those slowing effects to

04:02:46.020 --> 04:02:50.220
try and prevent that kind of speed and aggression that an operator like the Shield

04:03:20.220 --> 04:03:24.060
previous map as well often dealt with by things like Twitch, but it has been this dance of like

04:03:24.060 --> 04:03:28.460
utility clearance by both sides. Just something that they can move through the map a little bit

04:03:28.460 --> 04:03:32.860
more effectively, especially the shields. Yeah, in the middle it's been things like Monty quite a lot,

04:03:32.860 --> 04:03:37.100
but here D-Pex across onto Walls of the Blitz. On the other side though, Nathan's matching off

04:03:37.100 --> 04:03:41.100
with Flash on side, but here we go to Brassit, they're just going to say go for it. I was

04:03:41.100 --> 04:03:44.860
going to send it, there's a guy behind you, but either way they've been absolutely

04:03:44.860 --> 04:03:50.860
Yeah, that's just full and flat, hasn't it? Croxton now trying to rescue something.

04:03:50.860 --> 04:03:53.860
Managers to take down Savage, they've lost the Blitz, they've lost the Snake.

04:03:53.860 --> 04:03:57.860
Not ideal, but they do still have some utility to work with.

04:03:57.860 --> 04:04:01.860
However, on them, Afrika as well can do a bit of work on any reinforcements,

04:04:01.860 --> 04:04:03.860
but he knows that he's there.

04:04:03.860 --> 04:04:05.860
He's looking through that line that he's drawn,

04:04:05.860 --> 04:04:07.860
but he's not able to find his man.

04:04:07.860 --> 04:04:09.860
Deadshot's kind of in behind here inside a trophy.

04:04:09.860 --> 04:04:11.860
He's got Haver on the other side on Mezzanine.

04:04:11.860 --> 04:04:17.860
on mezzanine they're kind of trying to pinster them in between themselves but yellow pink here he knows

04:04:17.860 --> 04:04:25.220
dead shot takes down citizen good intel from fanatic 5 5 2v2 on the scoreboard it could not be more

04:04:25.220 --> 04:04:30.500
even there's a mini term left on the cock load there's plenty of time here that was risky it's

04:04:30.500 --> 04:04:34.980
how you are getting on the middle of the start like that was high risk but how we've been watching

04:04:34.980 --> 04:04:38.980
all this time towards nath he's letting slip unfortunate in simi's managed to get himself

04:04:38.980 --> 04:04:42.180
of the drop. He's managed to

04:04:42.180 --> 04:04:43.180
pick up dead shot and now Halvah's

04:04:43.180 --> 04:04:45.180
got a clutch shot by himself.

04:04:45.180 --> 04:04:46.180
He's not been having a good kick

04:04:46.180 --> 04:04:47.180
off. Admittedly, I don't imagine

04:04:47.180 --> 04:04:48.180
this round is going to change

04:04:48.180 --> 04:04:49.180
all that much more. No against

04:04:49.180 --> 04:04:51.180
the shots. Secret move up to

04:04:51.180 --> 04:04:55.180
map point. Excellent stuff.

04:04:55.180 --> 04:04:56.180
Excellent stuff from secret to

04:04:56.180 --> 04:04:57.180
cause that out there at the

04:04:57.180 --> 04:04:58.180
end, maybe a little closer than

04:04:58.180 --> 04:05:00.180
they might have liked, but

04:05:00.180 --> 04:05:01.180
they managed it well,

04:05:01.180 --> 04:05:02.180
especially that kill onto

04:05:02.180 --> 04:05:03.180
dead shot and like you say

04:05:03.180 --> 04:05:05.180
managing to escape past

04:05:05.180 --> 04:05:06.180
however just really gave them

04:05:06.180 --> 04:05:08.180
the opportunity to be able to

04:05:08.180 --> 04:05:13.940
one down so if you fanatic here it's time to dig your heels in isn't it you need to be coming in here

04:05:13.940 --> 04:05:18.660
they tried the fast brush it really didn't work out they haven't paid enough attention to what was

04:05:18.660 --> 04:05:23.700
above I think we saw the shots coming on to deep heck from above there and despite their shots

04:05:23.700 --> 04:05:27.700
hard work from the back it just misses a few shots there listen are you think there's an

04:05:27.700 --> 04:05:32.660
opportunity in another timeline that he actually gets that kill but yeah I think fanatic maybe

04:05:32.660 --> 04:05:36.740
just getting a little bit ahead of themselves there you know wanting to kind of snatch

04:05:36.740 --> 04:05:41.740
the top floor. I think it was

04:05:41.740 --> 04:05:42.740
fanatic that was cracked a

04:05:42.740 --> 04:05:44.740
little bit that time just

04:05:44.740 --> 04:05:45.740
trying to get in there a little

04:05:45.740 --> 04:05:46.740
bit too soon. They haven't

04:05:46.740 --> 04:05:47.740
dealt with the top floor. They're

04:05:47.740 --> 04:05:49.740
not aware of the top floor

04:05:49.740 --> 04:05:53.740
properly. I just lose the

04:05:53.740 --> 04:05:55.240
They haven't dealt with the top floor.

04:05:55.240 --> 04:05:57.440
They're not aware of the top floor properly.

04:05:57.440 --> 04:06:00.240
They just lose their bullets very, very quickly along the way.

04:06:00.240 --> 04:06:03.140
All right.

04:06:03.140 --> 04:06:04.440
Let's see if they can force O.T. then, Tim,

04:06:04.440 --> 04:06:07.540
or if it is going to be map three back to the side,

04:06:07.540 --> 04:06:09.240
which way this thing goes.

04:06:09.240 --> 04:06:11.240
Again, the loser overall is the first of three,

04:06:11.240 --> 04:06:12.540
where I set the map.

04:06:12.540 --> 04:06:13.740
Loser is out.

04:06:13.740 --> 04:06:16.840
Winner goes on for a pretty,

04:06:16.840 --> 04:06:18.540
I'd say, unfavorable match for the thing.

04:06:18.540 --> 04:06:21.940
It's better to say it's in Falcons or Virtus Pro.

04:06:21.940 --> 04:06:23.940
can't stay up until playing either of those two teams.

04:06:23.940 --> 04:06:26.620
I mean, they give it how effectively both are playing.

04:06:26.620 --> 04:06:29.540
I think the secret, it would be a cruel reunion

04:06:29.540 --> 04:06:31.340
with their former teammate now that Jume has gone

04:06:31.340 --> 04:06:33.420
and joined Team Falkas too.

04:06:33.420 --> 04:06:34.420
Wouldn't be an exciting affair,

04:06:34.420 --> 04:06:35.620
or maybe they'd have a point to prove.

04:06:35.620 --> 04:06:36.820
You just don't know.

04:06:36.820 --> 04:06:38.340
Let's see if we can, of course, even get there first.

04:06:38.340 --> 04:06:39.580
We'll see if it comes down to it,

04:06:39.580 --> 04:06:41.340
at least here on its chalet.

04:06:41.340 --> 04:06:44.060
I hope you're ready with this pre-ripped C4.

04:06:44.060 --> 04:06:45.540
Right, idea is there is a player out here

04:06:45.540 --> 04:06:47.540
on the solar side, but they are way down the floor.

04:06:47.540 --> 04:06:49.620
He really has to let it sail for a while,

04:06:49.620 --> 04:06:56.620
and then hopefully connects on towards the player to find him.

04:06:56.620 --> 04:07:00.420
Where is Haver going to go all the way to the non-T? That is the big question.

04:07:00.420 --> 04:07:03.420
Picks it up, the diffuser isn't going to go straight in through trophy

04:07:03.420 --> 04:07:07.220
and try and get himself up trophy stairs, create a little space, wouldn't make sense.

04:07:07.220 --> 04:07:10.820
E1D scan comes in, which would suggest there might be a little bit of movement.

04:07:10.820 --> 04:07:12.620
Morgly actually pockets that nitro.

04:07:12.620 --> 04:07:17.420
He could well just be glad that he did because Haver is indeed moving up those stairs.

04:07:17.420 --> 04:07:22.820
It's going to give them the opportunity to use that Nitro, maybe not even to get a direct kill, to do the damage,

04:07:22.820 --> 04:07:26.420
but at least to create a shield break that could give them the opportunity.

04:07:26.420 --> 04:07:35.120
However, moves on to Bedroom Door, was looking to be a stoic presence, looking in through the door, feeding Intel to his teammate.

04:07:35.120 --> 04:07:42.720
Things out the player will be reporting that they are lead prone, but there's nobody on the side of Fnatic able to do anything with that just yet.

04:07:42.720 --> 04:07:44.840
Not quite, yeah. I was gonna say who's gonna fall first.

04:07:44.840 --> 04:07:47.160
This Moby here picks up my deep back here.

04:07:47.160 --> 04:07:48.760
Albert and a good spot to be the host of his team.

04:07:48.760 --> 04:07:50.880
All he's gotta do here, Tim, is survive.

04:07:50.880 --> 04:07:53.360
They've thrown me in back to him, and he's remained standing.

04:07:53.360 --> 04:07:56.480
This is where he's gotta communicate now and call, and sure enough, he will.

04:07:56.480 --> 04:07:58.200
He called out Savage here on this doorway.

04:07:58.200 --> 04:08:00.720
They have to know and have to deal with him some way, shape or form.

04:08:00.720 --> 04:08:04.000
The citizen is gonna get too bad the longest way coming in from Savage.

04:08:04.000 --> 04:08:05.120
Doesn't quite find his man.

04:08:05.120 --> 04:08:07.760
Albert coming up close to apply a little bit of pressure.

04:08:07.760 --> 04:08:10.200
Both players left on the side of Secret, doubling up here,

04:08:10.200 --> 04:08:12.840
but it's against him as three versus super fanatic.

04:08:12.840 --> 04:08:14.800
They played it so well last time,

04:08:14.800 --> 04:08:16.240
surely they do the same again.

04:08:17.600 --> 04:08:20.240
It's happened just to get the reverse angle onto wizard,

04:08:20.240 --> 04:08:21.840
and this is where the Monty kind of gets

04:08:21.840 --> 04:08:23.160
a little bit less powerful here.

04:08:23.160 --> 04:08:25.080
As soon as you come into that 2v2,

04:08:25.080 --> 04:08:26.720
you've kind of lost the gun there,

04:08:26.720 --> 04:08:31.000
and you've only got one active ADS versus two, effectively.

04:08:31.000 --> 04:08:31.840
It can be tough.

04:08:31.840 --> 04:08:33.080
Howver's thinking about going for it.

04:08:33.080 --> 04:08:35.800
He's got the cover from Epec,

04:08:35.800 --> 04:08:37.040
but no, he's gonna be cut down.

04:08:37.040 --> 04:08:38.640
That is not ideal.

04:08:38.640 --> 04:08:43.520
overcomes off the plant and it is surely going to be over as Team Secret pressure forward

04:08:43.520 --> 04:08:48.680
citizen gets the final kill and Team Secret takes Shaleh to mean we're going to that third

04:08:48.680 --> 04:08:50.680
mark. It's going to be back.

04:08:50.680 --> 04:08:54.160
A real rollercoaster map overall I think Sim has barred. I think after those first three

04:08:54.160 --> 04:08:57.680
rounds he was starting to think, oh man, this is going to be a 2-0 and what the hell

04:08:57.680 --> 04:09:02.760
has happened to Secret today but they have recovered and they get to step into bank

04:09:02.760 --> 04:09:06.760
next which for them it's what I remember has always been actually a solid map. Can't

04:09:06.760 --> 04:09:08.120
We can't wait to see how it goes though, Sim.

04:09:08.120 --> 04:09:10.200
For now, we'll go to the break and when we come back,

04:09:10.200 --> 04:09:12.200
we'll see how this series ends.

04:10:12.200 --> 04:10:14.200
I

04:11:12.200 --> 04:11:14.200
Oh

04:14:12.200 --> 04:14:14.560
Oh, the more it changes, the more it says the same.

04:14:14.560 --> 04:14:19.760
Fnatic, you know, unfortunately, were, you know, they racing to leave.

04:14:19.760 --> 04:14:21.200
They were good, I think is what I'm saying.

04:14:21.200 --> 04:14:22.080
They were good.

04:14:22.080 --> 04:14:24.920
They're competitive on the map, really, that they don't play, you know,

04:14:24.920 --> 04:14:27.800
in all fairness, it is a very, very low preference map for them.

04:14:28.080 --> 04:14:32.120
So arguably a 5-7 loss against a team that was in the SI Grand Final

04:14:32.240 --> 04:14:34.200
in the context of that isn't that bad.

04:14:34.200 --> 04:14:38.080
But the very final round for me, it was just they were thinking too much.

04:14:38.080 --> 04:14:39.280
They were in their own heads.

04:14:39.280 --> 04:14:40.520
The round was in their control.

04:14:40.520 --> 04:14:46.120
You just need them to play with the confidence play with the balls and just go for it and they didn't ultimately

04:14:46.440 --> 04:14:50.200
And that's why we're sitting here talking about some five victory to secret rather than

04:14:51.000 --> 04:14:54.520
A 6-6 going in for now. I think that confidence was shattered

04:14:55.080 --> 04:14:57.800
Ever since the the tactical time that was from twister

04:14:57.880 --> 04:15:01.400
Yeah, I think he finds something in the game that gives them an edge, right?

04:15:01.400 --> 04:15:05.320
Yeah, which is that cool about the fact that they don't play wild and the fact they can go and play for the rush

04:15:05.320 --> 04:15:10.440
Right that gives them then the rush and then after that they snowball they get along this one

04:15:10.520 --> 04:15:15.520
And like, you wonder, right? Phase 3 at this point, it's looking so good, yeah.

04:15:15.520 --> 04:15:17.020
And then where's the trade potential?

04:15:17.020 --> 04:15:19.020
Yeah, I don't know, it's looking so good.

04:15:19.020 --> 04:15:22.020
And I think the fact of the matter is they got a bit blinded.

04:15:22.020 --> 04:15:24.020
They wanted to maybe do things a little bit too pathetically.

04:15:24.020 --> 04:15:27.520
They wanted to try throwing flashbangs, using the Monty to plant.

04:15:27.520 --> 04:15:30.520
Just, you know, I said Z division, Monty to plant, hold the cover,

04:15:30.520 --> 04:15:33.520
they've got to push the Monty, you kill them as they push it, get it completely.

04:15:33.520 --> 04:15:38.020
But, I don't know, they were just a bit too flustered in that end round there.

04:15:38.020 --> 04:15:42.380
It's a game of two players, really. If you look at this, look at the stats from these two players.

04:15:42.380 --> 04:15:48.300
I mean, Deadshot is at 30 kills in two maps, Noah at 24, incredible cost for the two of them,

04:15:48.300 --> 04:15:51.860
really aggressive. Both of them have been involved in opening engagements,

04:15:51.860 --> 04:15:55.260
in opening engagements out of the two maps for the two guys, now 15 actually.

04:15:55.260 --> 04:15:59.460
Incredible DPS. I mean, it's really up to who's going to be the best here.

04:15:59.460 --> 04:16:03.340
Yeah, I agree. Noah's kind of been on the main character arc for a while now as an A-ball.

04:16:03.340 --> 04:16:05.340
I mean, he had two because of Jume leaving right.

04:16:05.340 --> 04:16:12.340
And especially now in terms of the new team secret, yeah, but I am actually quietly happy for that shot because I don't think so far this stage in this team

04:16:12.340 --> 04:16:19.420
He's really put in a great account of himself up until this fixture if he can then be the guy to spare his team on to get them into the next game

04:16:19.420 --> 04:16:21.260
Yeah, it'll be absolutely phenomenal from him

04:16:21.260 --> 04:16:26.620
But he's you know, certainly both players have had very positive games so far. They have and regardless of who wins this match

04:16:26.620 --> 04:16:30.060
I'm just really glad that we're getting a final competitive game

04:16:30.060 --> 04:16:32.060
first one. Yeah it is the first

04:16:32.060 --> 04:16:33.060
time we're actually going to

04:16:33.060 --> 04:16:34.060
have to go to a third map to

04:16:34.060 --> 04:16:36.060
decide the victory inside of

04:16:36.060 --> 04:16:37.060
our bracket. That's kind of

04:16:37.060 --> 04:16:38.060
crazy to say. It takes four

04:16:38.060 --> 04:16:40.060
games to get to that point.

04:16:40.060 --> 04:16:41.060
But as we said, we will need

04:16:41.060 --> 04:16:43.060
to decide to see who stays in

04:16:43.060 --> 04:16:44.060
the competition and we'll talk

04:16:44.060 --> 04:16:45.060
about bank after the break.

04:19:00.060 --> 04:19:02.060
I

04:20:30.060 --> 04:20:37.860
Just one more map, stands between these three teams and their hopes and dreams of making

04:20:37.860 --> 04:20:39.780
it to the Salt Lake City Major.

04:20:39.780 --> 04:20:44.020
Now we're going to go to Bank as our decider and I feel like we talk about Bank quite often

04:20:44.020 --> 04:20:50.500
in the form of Secret being a really good Bank team but if we look at the numbers, Leo,

04:20:50.500 --> 04:20:52.100
it's they're a great Bank team.

04:20:52.100 --> 04:20:56.420
As soon as we started to see the comeback of Secret, I was thinking, wow, what happens

04:20:56.420 --> 04:20:57.980
if they go to Bank?

04:20:57.980 --> 04:21:06.020
Secret they've won 16 out of the last 17 times they played the map. In fact before a second final before facing fame in one bank

04:21:06.020 --> 04:21:09.640
They had a 16 win streak on it. They were the best bank team in the world

04:21:09.740 --> 04:21:12.660
So you tell me they did lose it last time they played it. They did

04:21:12.660 --> 04:21:17.140
But they're a phenomenal bank team and we think that Savage is probably the best actor in the world on this map

04:21:17.540 --> 04:21:19.540
Just has a way has an answer for everything

04:21:19.940 --> 04:21:24.820
Directs his trooper rounds his troops around that being said obviously we now know that especially on the attack

04:21:24.820 --> 04:21:31.500
There are some more voices, so even though we've not seen this secret on bank, we'd still expect it to be phenomenal.

04:21:31.500 --> 04:21:37.540
I do think, however, that looking at the set of SMADIC, a team that has the tendency to lose their composer in the late round,

04:21:37.540 --> 04:21:46.900
that has the tendency to feel the pressure, and that will not be on the back foot after having led 3-0 on a map where they already had 1-0.

04:21:46.900 --> 04:21:51.500
They just needed to win that map. I think they will feel the pressure. I think mentally right now,

04:21:51.500 --> 04:21:56.460
The team that has the momentum is secret, and I just don't see how Fnatic gets that momentum back

04:21:56.460 --> 04:21:58.380
if it's not for Death Note going crazy again.

04:21:58.380 --> 04:22:02.460
I mean, I don't want to be in their shoes right now trying to find out this final map here.

04:22:02.460 --> 04:22:05.180
It's a do or die situation for both these teams.

04:22:05.180 --> 04:22:07.900
You lose, you lose your chances of the Salt Lake City Major.

04:22:07.900 --> 04:22:10.540
You win, you keep those hopes and dreams alive.

04:22:10.540 --> 04:22:12.380
Just one more map and we'll send it to our casters.

04:22:14.700 --> 04:22:16.940
Thank you very much, and you are right.

04:22:16.940 --> 04:22:21.420
One more map stands between these two teams and either going home or going home.

04:22:21.420 --> 04:22:26.060
the game. You're going to be

04:22:26.560 --> 04:22:28.020
going on to face falcons or

04:22:28.160 --> 04:22:30.020
first not particularly enticing

04:22:30.160 --> 04:22:31.760
prospects either way Tim, but

04:22:31.900 --> 04:22:32.760
only one of those two past

04:22:32.900 --> 04:22:34.060
could see you going to Salt

04:22:34.200 --> 04:22:36.300
Lake City.

04:22:36.960 --> 04:22:38.300
Well, it all comes down to this.

04:22:38.420 --> 04:22:39.500
It's the best the wonders.

04:22:39.620 --> 04:22:41.900
They've won one a piece and

04:22:42.020 --> 04:22:43.760
right now feel like you've got

04:22:43.900 --> 04:22:45.000
a back secret at this point.

04:22:45.120 --> 04:22:46.100
Fnatic, it feels like the

04:22:46.220 --> 04:22:47.720
chance might just have sailed

04:22:47.860 --> 04:22:49.060
them by like a ship in the

04:22:49.060 --> 04:22:56.060
the night does. Look how well

04:22:56.060 --> 04:22:57.060
they started both maps.

04:22:57.060 --> 04:22:59.060
Incredibly well. Do I think

04:22:59.060 --> 04:23:01.060
fanatic can win it? Yes. Do I

04:23:01.060 --> 04:23:03.060
think they will? I'm not sure.

04:23:03.060 --> 04:23:05.060
I genuinely think secret now come

04:23:05.060 --> 04:23:07.060
out of that. I always like the

04:23:07.060 --> 04:23:08.060
team that wins the second map.

04:23:08.060 --> 04:23:09.060
You know that in a best of

04:23:09.060 --> 04:23:11.060
three. If we go into the third

04:23:11.060 --> 04:23:12.060
map, especially in this

04:23:12.060 --> 04:23:13.060
matchup of the way that

04:23:13.060 --> 04:23:14.060
secret finished the back end

04:23:14.060 --> 04:23:15.060
of that, whatever said,

04:23:15.060 --> 04:23:16.060
whatever twist they said

04:23:16.060 --> 04:23:21.060
and yeah I think I'd do fair but I'm.

04:23:21.060 --> 04:23:24.060
My worry is, I think we saw a very very planer down that previous match,

04:23:24.060 --> 04:23:27.060
we've seen them make changes compared to a couple of days ago.

04:23:27.060 --> 04:23:31.060
The big note to one on my side has been the role that Halvers can play in, right?

04:23:31.060 --> 04:23:35.060
You put him on shields a lot today and it's good because on shields you still get to put pressure down

04:23:35.060 --> 04:23:38.060
you still get to force defenders away, they have to move and react to you.

04:23:38.060 --> 04:23:44.060
But outside of that, you think just in a few situations we really have to be asking a little bit more from him.

04:23:44.060 --> 04:23:46.860
I was looking down at the numbers during the break, for example.

04:23:46.860 --> 04:23:50.740
I think overall now he stands at like 31 to 65 on KD.

04:23:50.740 --> 04:23:57.940
And it's not all about the numbers of kills, but it's the manner in which we've seen those kills and deaths go by that is, I think, probably really frustrating.

04:23:57.940 --> 04:24:01.860
It just feels like having to play around, you know, him by forcing him onto shields for the minute.

04:24:01.860 --> 04:24:07.700
And that's not the way that the fanatic of trying to play as far as we saw during the first cricket kick-off walk stage and back on Monday.

04:24:07.700 --> 04:24:09.340
It was a different affair.

04:24:09.340 --> 04:24:12.660
So I hope we see him step up and perform now.

04:24:12.660 --> 04:24:16.260
Because if he isn't on a day that with different players, well either is very, very frank.

04:24:16.260 --> 04:24:20.980
Croc's on a very, very quiet first map. It's mainly been Deadshot that had a really good day so far today.

04:24:20.980 --> 04:24:26.660
We've got to see other players stepping up, but I'm still waiting for that day when we see how we'll be in that play to step up.

04:24:28.980 --> 04:24:30.980
Today would be a very good day to do it, Dez.

04:24:31.940 --> 04:24:36.180
Today would be a very good day to do it, as you see it comes down to this.

04:24:36.180 --> 04:24:42.180
This one is for all the marbles who's this and will be eliminated from kickoff phase.

04:24:42.180 --> 04:24:45.700
you will be sat at home watching the Celtic City edge.

04:24:45.700 --> 04:24:49.140
Gonna have the long angle being held by Noah for the time being.

04:24:49.140 --> 04:24:52.060
I don't expect Deadshot to be giving himself away to that one.

04:24:52.060 --> 04:24:53.780
He should be familiar with that.

04:24:53.780 --> 04:24:55.700
And there is indeed more opportunity

04:24:55.700 --> 04:24:58.460
to take any pot shots at him for now.

04:24:58.460 --> 04:25:02.540
I just don't know what you have the old elevator with hell there,

04:25:02.540 --> 04:25:05.780
but there's not gonna be any opportunity to find anybody.

04:25:07.020 --> 04:25:08.580
Now, lastly, the question is to make sure

04:25:08.580 --> 04:25:09.900
that they get that part of the map, right?

04:25:09.900 --> 04:25:11.980
It's about the march on forward.

04:25:11.980 --> 04:25:13.980
the other side of things. You

04:25:13.980 --> 04:25:14.980
can see it. They've got a good

04:25:14.980 --> 04:25:16.980
few players still around here on

04:25:16.980 --> 04:25:17.980
this top floor, but now it's

04:25:17.980 --> 04:25:19.980
going to cut off their retreat

04:25:19.980 --> 04:25:20.980
back into war site. This could

04:25:20.980 --> 04:25:22.980
be genius to be fair to them. Get

04:25:22.980 --> 04:25:23.980
away with it. They can stop

04:25:23.980 --> 04:25:24.980
everyone getting back into

04:25:24.980 --> 04:25:25.980
war site, even get rid of a

04:25:25.980 --> 04:25:26.980
couple of them. That makes the

04:25:26.980 --> 04:25:28.980
execute downstairs that little

04:25:28.980 --> 04:25:30.980
bit easier. And again, it's

04:25:30.980 --> 04:25:31.980
however that's been picked up

04:25:31.980 --> 04:25:35.980
first with that. Just a

04:25:35.980 --> 04:25:36.980
missed opportunity there. It

04:25:36.980 --> 04:25:38.980
was only a fleeting one, but

04:25:38.980 --> 04:25:39.980
the back does see the man

04:25:39.980 --> 04:25:41.980
the man move past on the repel.

04:25:41.980 --> 04:25:44.980
It was a fight in position and ready to do anything with it.

04:25:44.980 --> 04:25:46.980
A bit of support is probably going to be needed here.

04:25:46.980 --> 04:25:47.980
Oh!

04:25:47.980 --> 04:25:50.980
It's absolutely running over Croxton.

04:25:50.980 --> 04:25:54.980
You thought that Croxton's going to win that fight all day long.

04:25:54.980 --> 04:25:56.980
And then Citizen just comes around with a beautiful pre-fire.

04:25:56.980 --> 04:25:58.980
The Blizzard is in and Bud.

04:25:58.980 --> 04:26:00.980
The Blizzard is in and Bullying.

04:26:00.980 --> 04:26:02.980
And we've got now a 5v1.

04:26:02.980 --> 04:26:05.980
And it looks like round one is going the direction of Team Secret

04:26:05.980 --> 04:26:09.980
that's the way the previous

04:26:09.980 --> 04:26:11.980
two maps have started. It's

04:26:11.980 --> 04:26:13.980
great for that. Normally, but

04:26:13.980 --> 04:26:15.980
here secret have come out and

04:26:15.980 --> 04:26:17.980
put a statement down in round

04:26:17.980 --> 04:26:19.980
one. Yeah, great start from

04:26:19.980 --> 04:26:21.980
them. That's kind of what I was

04:26:21.980 --> 04:26:23.980
expecting. Coming with that

04:26:23.980 --> 04:26:25.980
momentum that they've built up

04:26:25.980 --> 04:26:27.980
on shall it's a map that they

04:26:27.980 --> 04:26:29.980
are very, very familiar

04:26:29.980 --> 04:26:31.980
and comfortable with the

04:26:31.980 --> 04:26:36.980
on. It's a map that they are

04:26:36.980 --> 04:26:37.980
very, very familiar and

04:26:37.980 --> 04:26:40.980
comfortable on as the desk of

04:26:40.980 --> 04:26:43.980
said, and you know, I think. The

04:26:43.980 --> 04:26:44.980
thing is as well, they've

04:26:44.980 --> 04:26:46.980
started on the attack, and if

04:26:46.980 --> 04:26:47.980
they can come through here and

04:26:47.980 --> 04:26:49.980
get three or four rounds, I

04:26:49.980 --> 04:26:50.980
don't see them giving anything

04:26:50.980 --> 04:26:51.980
up on the defense. So I feel

04:26:51.980 --> 04:26:53.980
like it piles the pressure on

04:26:53.980 --> 04:26:55.980
fanatic as well. This is the

04:26:55.980 --> 04:26:57.980
map that we actually saw.

04:26:57.980 --> 04:26:58.980
If you remember, I was a

04:26:58.980 --> 04:27:00.980
little bit critical earlier of

04:27:00.980 --> 04:27:05.980
I was saying that they were actually different tonight and they'd done, you know, that was something they'd done previously.

04:27:05.980 --> 04:27:10.980
And I spoke about when they had a default camp, and I think it was, I can't remember who they were playing against.

04:27:10.980 --> 04:27:15.980
But they'd had a default camp left up by the end of the team.

04:27:15.980 --> 04:27:17.980
It was a must have mind to have a brass there.

04:27:17.980 --> 04:27:19.980
It was a must have mind, yeah.

04:27:19.980 --> 04:27:25.980
And it was a both spiral and they had every opportunity to watch exactly what was going on in the air.

04:27:25.980 --> 04:27:30.980
I think it might have been Michelle Walker through and got two kills.

04:27:30.980 --> 04:27:38.980
I look at Bank and I think it doesn't fill me with confidence for their defences on Bank,

04:27:38.980 --> 04:27:43.980
so I feel like they need as good a half as they can to start things off.

04:27:45.980 --> 04:27:47.980
We shall see.

04:27:47.980 --> 04:27:49.980
This one's always a fun sight to play through.

04:27:49.980 --> 04:27:52.980
We've seen it quite a lot, as you and I lately, I guess.

04:27:52.980 --> 04:27:57.980
We've always seen different approaches in terms of attacking it, some very, very smart, some really interesting.

04:27:57.980 --> 04:28:03.480
The one that was missing earlier on, the one we spoke about it, was the focus on the lobby side, right?

04:28:03.480 --> 04:28:06.980
And look at what we've got here, on the lobby side. How weird is that?

04:28:06.980 --> 04:28:11.480
Peter has to really note though, of course, that he's not playing hard bridge, he's under the KB.

04:28:11.480 --> 04:28:14.480
So when he's looking at this, he's poking a few holes around, and that's a few questions.

04:28:14.480 --> 04:28:19.480
That wall should very much stay closed here, and that means that fantastic has got a lot of security

04:28:19.480 --> 04:28:24.120
to be able to play through Whitehall itself and accept a much more resolute defence.

04:28:25.400 --> 04:28:27.160
He's the man he knows he's there.

04:28:27.160 --> 04:28:30.200
Surely they're aware of somebody hanging out in lawn offices.

04:28:30.600 --> 04:28:33.240
One of the first places that you know you need to check.

04:28:33.600 --> 04:28:35.080
They've got to hit the phone if you're right.

04:28:35.400 --> 04:28:36.200
Absolutely not.

04:28:36.200 --> 04:28:36.720
Oh.

04:28:36.720 --> 04:28:39.200
Crock misses his chance and loses his life.

04:28:39.480 --> 04:28:40.520
That's the one.

04:28:40.760 --> 04:28:43.320
That's the one that you've really got to pick up.

04:28:43.400 --> 04:28:47.440
You know, he's got to wear with one to be allowed to be there in the first place.

04:28:47.440 --> 04:28:51.780
You know if you go in on that repellent usually one of the first places you check is there anybody in lobby?

04:28:51.780 --> 04:28:54.120
Is there anybody in law office? So I don't get picked off

04:28:54.360 --> 04:28:58.720
You know they've actually given him the opportunity by not doing so and not finding him

04:28:58.720 --> 04:29:03.000
And then he hasn't got the kill on the back of it. DPEC does manage to find there

04:29:03.000 --> 04:29:09.480
That's it's the doctor off. So they at least have one less call to deal with that's something savage finds dead shot

04:29:09.480 --> 04:29:13.160
Seeker continue to find themselves in the advantage four versus three

04:29:13.160 --> 04:29:18.160
Not just my eyes, the very reflexive event cast down towards where each other would appear, right?

04:29:18.160 --> 04:29:22.160
When Savage just paused for a second and he was lurking in the camera, I was like,

04:29:22.160 --> 04:29:25.160
he's getting an old chat here, he's got something he wants to say.

04:29:25.160 --> 04:29:29.160
But nothing follows, however, the thing about what we saw was the big turning point back on Charlie,

04:29:29.160 --> 04:29:31.160
it was kills from outside the building.

04:29:31.160 --> 04:29:33.160
We're seeing a lot of that stepping up now.

04:29:33.160 --> 04:29:36.160
The two kills we've got from Secret in this round were from outside the building.

04:29:36.160 --> 04:29:39.160
They let it for us to just kind of play themselves with their own death.

04:29:39.160 --> 04:29:46.040
Mowgli manages to take down Wizard, we've got a citizen just having a look at the little

04:29:46.040 --> 04:29:49.940
Spider-Man attempt there, he decides he's going to come down on in and get on to the

04:29:49.940 --> 04:29:54.560
action because he knows if he doesn't, Mowgli's going to find all the kills because he finds

04:29:54.560 --> 04:29:58.560
another one at least, how many times has Deepak been left in these situations?

04:29:58.560 --> 04:30:02.840
This is at least the fourth that I can think of between Bank and Shallie, he was

04:30:02.840 --> 04:30:07.080
in round one and round two of Bank, he's been left in a 1BX and then we saw it twice

04:30:07.080 --> 04:30:09.080
to be a little bit more dangerous

04:30:09.180 --> 04:30:10.880
now. The smiles the laughs, the

04:30:10.980 --> 04:30:12.880
old chat. It's all starting to

04:30:12.980 --> 04:30:14.880
come together. I think it's

04:30:14.980 --> 04:30:16.480
entirely avoidable, though,

04:30:16.580 --> 04:30:17.480
being honest, like the back to

04:30:17.580 --> 04:30:18.980
what I said during that round.

04:30:19.080 --> 04:30:19.980
A couple of players on fanatic

04:30:20.080 --> 04:30:21.980
just a bit too keen. They're

04:30:22.080 --> 04:30:22.980
exposing themselves to players

04:30:23.080 --> 04:30:24.980
that aren't even inside the

04:30:25.080 --> 04:30:26.980
box, but they're trying to

04:30:27.080 --> 04:30:28.980
make sure that they're

04:30:29.080 --> 04:30:29.980
going to be able to get

04:30:30.080 --> 04:30:31.980
into the box. They're

04:30:32.080 --> 04:30:33.980
going to be able to get into

04:30:34.080 --> 04:30:35.980
the box. They're going to

04:30:35.980 --> 04:30:39.680
in the middle of the building

04:30:39.780 --> 04:30:40.880
in the middle of the building.

04:30:40.980 --> 04:30:41.880
And then there's the on even

04:30:41.980 --> 04:30:42.880
inside the building, admittedly

04:30:42.980 --> 04:30:44.880
yeah, crocky. He had a massive

04:30:44.980 --> 04:30:46.480
cock up there when he could have

04:30:46.580 --> 04:30:47.380
got a free beyond to the player

04:30:47.480 --> 04:30:48.480
at the top of loan. And then

04:30:48.580 --> 04:30:49.980
obviously died to know inside

04:30:50.080 --> 04:30:51.980
of 80 m to free the second

04:30:52.080 --> 04:30:52.980
player died from outside the

04:30:53.080 --> 04:30:53.980
building from Savage on the

04:30:54.080 --> 04:30:54.980
windows that is going to happen

04:30:55.080 --> 04:30:56.980
sometimes. But both deaths

04:30:57.080 --> 04:30:58.980
there were avoidable. It was

04:30:59.080 --> 04:30:59.980
just trying to do things a

04:31:00.080 --> 04:31:01.980
little bit too trying to do a

04:31:02.080 --> 04:31:02.980
bit too much a bit too extra

04:31:03.080 --> 04:31:04.980
thing that is cost them a

04:31:04.980 --> 04:31:09.140
as well, because they realised very early on, it's going to only carry on going one way and

04:31:09.140 --> 04:31:10.700
less changes are made.

04:31:10.700 --> 04:31:17.060
Yeah, I think early intervention is probably needed here, because I can say, we've seen

04:31:17.060 --> 04:31:21.700
that bank isn't necessarily kind of, you know, they're more solid of maps, especially

04:31:21.700 --> 04:31:24.940
not when you look at it, you know, in comparison to the performance time secret, are going

04:31:24.940 --> 04:31:28.580
to be put in up to, I think, yeah, you've got to stop the bleeding early if you

04:31:28.580 --> 04:31:31.980
think there's something that you can say to do that, especially with the manner

04:31:31.980 --> 04:31:51.980
of the two rounds that we've seen so far as well. I can say they've both come down to serious one VXs for the PEC, you know, they can't just be allowing that to continue. So hopefully, that's enough of, you know, recognize something there that's going to be able to turn things around for them for a couple of rounds, get them back into this one.

04:31:51.980 --> 04:31:57.480
you know, let's not forget this is the first time they've actually been behind pretty much in the entire series

04:31:57.480 --> 04:32:01.180
They started out really well on that one went on to win it seven three

04:32:01.180 --> 04:32:07.280
So all of shally is just secret catching up to them and now that they go one or two rounds behind here

04:32:07.280 --> 04:32:09.560
That puts them behind in the overall series

04:32:09.560 --> 04:32:14.320
So this is the first time that we're seeing that this is where they really under a little bit of pressure and start thinking

04:32:14.320 --> 04:32:17.380
You know those thoughts creeping of maybe this is the end of

04:32:17.380 --> 04:32:24.500
of EML kickoff for us and so yeah that's where we're really going to start seeing how the fulfillment of pressure

04:32:26.420 --> 04:32:32.580
Okay well I think that timeout has any impact or if it just goes from bad to worse for the side of the

04:32:32.580 --> 04:32:38.580
NADIC. This time around changing into a few track comps where it's being brought along here as well

04:32:38.580 --> 04:32:42.980
mainly towards the timeways so we can go of course but again it's how can they slowly

04:32:42.980 --> 04:32:47.940
the side down. We know that Savage lost playing on shields and good response towards that is to bring

04:32:47.940 --> 04:32:53.300
something like the lesion. Is that open sight we're stepping into now as well? Was it maybe the one

04:32:53.300 --> 04:32:57.220
looking to get a little bit busier and about the bulletproof and the barbed wire already being

04:32:57.220 --> 04:33:00.580
deployed? He's having a pretty good look at a forward to go and do whatever the hell he wants

04:33:00.580 --> 04:33:04.980
to around the map. But now it's out towards Sellers and a very very minor extension. Croc upstairs

04:33:04.980 --> 04:33:09.220
along with Halva and Deadshot. Three of them all playing above looking to deny. We'll probably

04:33:09.220 --> 04:33:13.220
of the man that's going in clear that top floor before they think about the size of themselves.

04:33:16.980 --> 04:33:22.260
Just on the edge there wanting to get himself onto that stop window I think. We're just having a

04:33:22.260 --> 04:33:26.100
look at exactly what's going in and we see the drop in front of us there. Crocs is going to take

04:33:26.100 --> 04:33:30.900
a little bit of damage but that does mean that stock is now available. I think we're going to have

04:33:31.700 --> 04:33:35.380
Savage where are you going? He's going to go into electrical actually as Mochlet manages to

04:33:35.380 --> 04:33:39.040
pick up D-Pect 5 versus 4 I thought he was maybe going to push in through top

04:33:39.040 --> 04:33:42.640
square and try to push down and work and get access to the wall that way, he's gone

04:33:42.640 --> 04:33:45.280
back up and he's now going to go into the top square thanks Savage.

04:33:45.280 --> 04:33:53.320
So he does ultimately push in where I thought he was going to push in but I think they were fairly confident that there was nobody else upstairs but then

04:33:53.320 --> 04:33:59.240
as works his way back up there now drops back down so Savage is probably a little bit more free now once they

04:33:59.240 --> 04:34:03.040
Realize that to be able to go in and start pressuring that says

04:34:04.040 --> 04:34:09.520
What's the straight in there for deep at dying is he knows the crocs and took shots from Mowgli playing on that Prince of window

04:34:10.040 --> 04:34:11.040
20 seconds ago

04:34:11.040 --> 04:34:14.520
There's a very good chance that Mowgli hasn't moved because of how early it was in the round

04:34:14.520 --> 04:34:18.240
But it's exposed himself to that window and died for free hasn't landed a single bullet back

04:34:18.440 --> 04:34:22.400
If he was trying to tell me to kill him right it was a failed attempt nice try

04:34:22.520 --> 04:34:26.360
If he wasn't then it's a mistake of game sense there and just not being aware of exactly what it is

04:34:26.360 --> 04:34:30.080
that you're exposed to. So a little bit of a misplacing at the start there by

04:34:30.080 --> 04:34:32.960
D-Pet that's left him without the legion and of course those Goumines come online

04:34:32.960 --> 04:34:36.560
slowly over time. That can only be a good thing to savage which may be part of the

04:34:36.560 --> 04:34:41.120
reason why he's changed the way where he wants to approach from.

04:34:41.120 --> 04:34:44.840
Citizen holding that long dangle down through into archives. I don't think he's gonna get his

04:34:44.840 --> 04:34:50.600
opportunity. No one manages to find Crox, I just can't see Wizard pushing that far forward,

04:34:50.600 --> 04:34:53.760
but it means that he can't. That's the more important point.

04:34:53.760 --> 04:34:55.760
Deadshot does take down Morgley.

04:34:55.760 --> 04:34:57.760
Ooh, manages to get himself a second as well.

04:34:57.760 --> 04:34:59.760
Onto Savage, three versus three.

04:34:59.760 --> 04:35:01.760
Fnatic fighting back into this and

04:35:01.760 --> 04:35:03.760
the words spoken during that tactical time out

04:35:03.760 --> 04:35:05.760
are doing some serious work.

04:35:05.760 --> 04:35:07.760
He's making a third citizen,

04:35:07.760 --> 04:35:09.760
causing and tries to get aggressive.

04:35:09.760 --> 04:35:11.760
Noah there for the ultimate trade,

04:35:11.760 --> 04:35:13.760
but three happy killers.

04:35:13.760 --> 04:35:15.760
You feel like Fnatic are just going to let

04:35:15.760 --> 04:35:17.760
another one pass by, are they?

04:35:17.760 --> 04:35:19.760
The diffuser's going down.

04:35:19.760 --> 04:35:21.760
Now's the time, it's all up to Noah

04:35:21.760 --> 04:35:32.480
man. You know a famous caster once said why are you asked why are you sprinting? I'd probably

04:35:32.480 --> 04:35:37.280
ask the same to wizards. That's the time to be gun up. You know that you're 1v1 for a

04:35:37.280 --> 04:35:40.960
brief amount of time while that diffuser is going down so yes time is of the essence

04:35:40.960 --> 04:35:44.840
but you know full well the player that is covering him is going to be looking for where

04:35:44.840 --> 04:35:47.800
you're coming from. They're going to hear you, they're going to take that gunfight

04:35:47.800 --> 04:35:50.520
and you do not have a gun at the ready, you're gonna lose it.

04:35:51.880 --> 04:35:54.080
That's a rough one to solo, I think,

04:35:54.080 --> 04:35:55.420
because Halver has sat there in a spot

04:35:55.420 --> 04:35:57.360
where he's been easily gunned down by Noah,

04:35:57.360 --> 04:35:59.520
who's had another wonderful round is worth stressing,

04:35:59.520 --> 04:36:02.860
and then with it has really horribly misplayed that 1v2.

04:36:02.860 --> 04:36:04.680
It's not saying that they should have won it,

04:36:04.680 --> 04:36:07.160
but it should have been far closer than it was.

04:36:09.600 --> 04:36:11.360
Oh, dear, oh dear, fanatic.

04:36:11.360 --> 04:36:13.960
It's starting to look very, very difficult

04:36:13.960 --> 04:36:15.800
for them, three rounds down,

04:36:15.800 --> 04:36:18.300
And with Secret being on the attack,

04:36:18.300 --> 04:36:20.000
it's going to be a tough second half.

04:36:20.000 --> 04:36:22.560
One Secret get themselves onto the defense.

04:36:22.560 --> 04:36:24.720
You really feel like now might have been their opportunity

04:36:24.720 --> 04:36:26.720
to get some rounds on the board.

04:36:26.720 --> 04:36:28.880
Like he said, just sprinting in there.

04:36:28.880 --> 04:36:30.680
It's easy to get, I think, tunnel vision,

04:36:30.680 --> 04:36:33.040
especially when you hear that the fuse is going down.

04:36:33.040 --> 04:36:34.640
Maybe he thought it was an opportunity

04:36:34.640 --> 04:36:37.680
to get into a position where he could do something about it.

04:36:37.680 --> 04:36:39.680
Maybe he thought that the situation was a bit more

04:36:39.680 --> 04:36:42.760
time limited than it was, but ultimately,

04:36:42.760 --> 04:36:44.680
as you quite rightly said, sprinting was maybe not

04:36:44.680 --> 04:36:45.480
the option there.

04:36:45.480 --> 04:36:50.480
loses his life and that's going to be fanatic losing the round 3-0 then to secret and they

04:36:50.480 --> 04:36:55.160
are going to be attacking on to the basement level once again like a CCTV they want it back

04:36:55.160 --> 04:36:59.120
in round one just looking at what the additional bands come in it's the blackbeard that's been

04:36:59.120 --> 04:37:04.260
taken away and so you're going to see instead a no shield approach this time just a yin

04:37:04.260 --> 04:37:05.260
instead.

04:37:05.260 --> 04:37:12.000
I was just trying to reason why you sprint there did he think he was 1v1 he couldn't

04:37:12.000 --> 04:37:16.320
because he had two pings, but both players are p- he could have wall banged it as well, like,

04:37:17.280 --> 04:37:21.760
I don't know. That was just a very, very weird end to that round. Very weird, very weird,

04:37:21.760 --> 04:37:25.440
and Seeker are up 3-0. That's what the back of Attack Timeout is worth stressing,

04:37:25.440 --> 04:37:30.240
which means things that probably only go from bad to worse. The Goiwa has been taken offline

04:37:30.240 --> 04:37:33.920
and away from the side of Fnatic, one of the most played operators. They love it for

04:37:33.920 --> 04:37:37.680
stalling out rounds. If you look down at all of our teams, in kickoff, they have the

04:37:37.680 --> 04:37:42.120
the other team that has played going the most by quite away as well and now that's not available

04:37:42.120 --> 04:37:44.880
to them so they're going to have to turn towards other options and that's what we're seeing coming

04:37:44.880 --> 04:37:48.540
out here, things like the fire coming out from Halver or of course Tuber out coming

04:37:48.540 --> 04:37:53.380
out. They are trying to replace it here but I think things just got a little bit easier

04:37:53.380 --> 04:37:54.380
for the side of the secret.

04:37:54.380 --> 04:37:59.880
That bridge charge is going to be going on to the tower's wall that's going to

04:37:59.880 --> 04:38:05.700
maybe make fanatic think about this elevator position or was it supposed to think about

04:38:05.700 --> 04:38:07.940
There we go. Drops away. I thought that was going to be coming.

04:38:07.940 --> 04:38:11.140
It has a little look through the drone hole. Doesn't get his opportunity.

04:38:32.820 --> 04:38:33.940
I think I've lost you, Tim.

04:38:35.700 --> 04:38:40.700
I'm going to assume you're still speaking and I'll say nothing.

04:38:43.700 --> 04:38:45.700
Another line to Tim's gun.

04:38:45.700 --> 04:38:48.700
Woohoo! It's the deadshot! Let's go!

04:38:48.700 --> 04:38:51.700
In which case we'll crack honestly how the round plays out.

04:38:51.700 --> 04:38:56.700
Mainly focusing around square here. Three players on the side of St. Croix are being matched up against deadshot.

04:38:56.700 --> 04:38:59.700
On that smoke, two of those canisters already burnt.

04:38:59.700 --> 04:39:02.700
Now all three, gone as we get down to the last 60 or so.

04:39:02.700 --> 04:39:11.300
It's worth noting that Halva hasn't used a single fire canister yet. They are available, and if Tim was here, he would wax lyrical about the...

04:39:12.100 --> 04:39:13.500
Come on, man!

04:39:15.300 --> 04:39:16.300
Hal!

04:39:17.100 --> 04:39:18.500
Halva!

04:39:20.100 --> 04:39:26.900
His job is to be there to deny the plant. You can rotate through two of those pellets at the same time and stall that for a solid minute.

04:39:26.900 --> 04:39:31.500
There is less than a minute on the clock. You could have had a big impact here and forced secret to have to go deep.

04:39:31.500 --> 04:39:33.340
That is no longer an option.

04:39:33.340 --> 04:39:34.940
So, now they're pushing.

04:39:34.940 --> 04:39:35.980
They get rid of Deepak.

04:39:35.980 --> 04:39:39.060
They're into a 5 versus 3 with 30 seconds still to work with.

04:39:39.060 --> 04:39:40.660
Savage looking pretty damn low.

04:39:40.660 --> 04:39:42.820
Laksa Candela's he can yeet in towards Scythe.

04:39:42.820 --> 04:39:44.060
Smokes him back pocket.

04:39:44.060 --> 04:39:46.020
They've got the utility to get this one done.

04:39:46.020 --> 04:39:48.540
But Wizard of course is available on the movement as well.

04:39:48.540 --> 04:39:50.500
A C4 at the ready at the same time.

04:39:50.500 --> 04:39:52.980
Being so careful about what Hovered the die to,

04:39:52.980 --> 04:39:54.340
which was a play down towards Garage,

04:39:54.340 --> 04:39:55.300
but they moved away.

04:39:55.300 --> 04:39:57.020
He's left 1 versus 5.

04:39:57.020 --> 04:39:58.460
This one is a washed secret.

04:39:58.460 --> 04:40:01.060
Yet again, pull off a brilliant attack

04:40:01.060 --> 04:40:04.340
and go up four and zero.

04:40:04.340 --> 04:40:06.140
And again, for Fnatic, it's gonna feel

04:40:06.140 --> 04:40:07.940
like a bit of heartbreak here, unfortunately.

04:40:07.940 --> 04:40:09.940
They really can't fight their way back in.

04:40:15.180 --> 04:40:16.220
We've got Jack joining me.

04:40:16.220 --> 04:40:17.980
Woo! One Northerners will die for another.

04:40:17.980 --> 04:40:19.500
How are we doing, Jackie Boy?

04:40:19.500 --> 04:40:21.260
Hello, Des. This is a strange one.

04:40:21.260 --> 04:40:22.300
I lost power last week.

04:40:22.300 --> 04:40:24.140
Tim covered for me. Tim's now lost power.

04:40:24.140 --> 04:40:27.060
And I'm covering for Tim, but yes.

04:40:27.060 --> 04:40:28.700
Welcome. I made the joke at the time last week.

04:40:28.700 --> 04:40:30.380
Like, you guys at North are only just starting

04:40:30.380 --> 04:40:34.220
to discover what electricity is. I'm glad that we're getting there, and at least here

04:40:34.220 --> 04:40:36.860
by you being in Copenhagen, powers online, real good.

04:40:36.860 --> 04:40:41.380
I know, I know. I tell you what, powers not online, but all the fanatic defences so far

04:40:41.380 --> 04:40:46.580
because they're going to fall down. Wow. We've actually just had a look at Vintype.

04:40:46.580 --> 04:40:51.620
The analyst has got the ability to listen to teams during the game, and listening

04:40:51.620 --> 04:40:57.540
to the secret attacks is so clean. It's so clean. Such good information from absolutely

04:40:57.540 --> 04:41:02.700
everybody across the attacks. Savage is absolutely singing like a songbird and everybody is giving

04:41:02.700 --> 04:41:07.460
so much energy. It is night and day difference from map one and the first half of map two

04:41:07.460 --> 04:41:11.780
in showy as well. They're really flicking their muscles on this map right now.

04:41:11.780 --> 04:41:15.380
Having a lot of fun and you can see why even with the roster changes you know it's their

04:41:15.380 --> 04:41:19.660
favourite map. They've got like a 6-1 record on it over the last six months or so. This

04:41:19.660 --> 04:41:22.540
is their battleground and it feels a bit crazy that they're even here in the

04:41:22.540 --> 04:41:26.180
first place but this is the battlefield that Panalik have chosen for us to come

04:41:26.180 --> 04:41:31.300
to and so far only one team has turned up to actually fight it's it seems it is

04:41:31.300 --> 04:41:34.220
to turn around these last couple of rounds though before we get the side switch

04:41:34.220 --> 04:41:39.980
and then maybe just maybe she's fantastic show a little bit on the inside hey yeah

04:41:39.980 --> 04:41:43.180
absolutely it's all about just getting a little bit of a point at this point

04:41:43.180 --> 04:41:46.260
for fantastic it's not going well so far you know you've got three players

04:41:46.260 --> 04:41:49.860
sitting there looking like they're on doughnuts with it how about and Croxton

04:41:49.860 --> 04:41:53.580
with to be honest deep-heck and dead shot not going too well either I felt

04:41:53.580 --> 04:41:57.820
like Wither had a big, big, big brain fart in the room that he could have clutched, because

04:41:57.820 --> 04:42:01.900
there were players that would be in red ping as well. But anyway, like you say, they move.

04:42:01.900 --> 04:42:05.500
They've gone through an area, they've brought a little bit of information, they've got a mirror

04:42:05.500 --> 04:42:09.580
window set up on the upstairs, they're going to try and bait Secret into coming for this top floor

04:42:09.580 --> 04:42:13.500
attack and then hopefully capitalising when they do, trying to kick them off on that push.

04:42:15.660 --> 04:42:18.700
I heard Tim's back on his way by the way, sounds like he's got his hamsters running in

04:42:18.700 --> 04:42:22.540
in them wheels again to generate a little bit of power so his PC can come back on so

04:42:23.580 --> 04:42:28.700
it's been fun mate it's been emotional it has as much as i wanted to keep you casting solo we

04:42:28.700 --> 04:42:32.460
couldn't have done it for an unlimited number of rounds good information i'm on the market mate

04:42:32.460 --> 04:42:36.620
it would have said it does follow podcasts but it was bad that's great still there's no dead shot

04:42:36.620 --> 04:42:40.780
dead shot should have had him dead to right there but no no as well i tell you what mate

04:42:40.780 --> 04:42:44.620
i'm sure you feel the same no has been absolutely phenomenal these last three months

04:42:44.620 --> 04:42:47.980
yeah he really has he's been so good and i think he really had to take over the month

04:42:47.980 --> 04:42:51.920
After June left the roster and he's done it perfectly in the end

04:42:51.920 --> 04:42:56.280
You know Nate found a kill as well. You've got secret. They've taken top floor control

04:42:56.280 --> 04:42:58.960
They've got a minute 15 now to work with for them

04:42:58.960 --> 04:43:03.700
It's all about establishing control. Can they clear this player outside of teller's office deep?

04:43:03.700 --> 04:43:08.180
It could be a problem if they don't have information if they can't how are they going to make their entry into site?

04:43:08.180 --> 04:43:12.020
You see Nate from defuser elevate hallway. You've got the game. It's going to be savage

04:43:12.020 --> 04:43:16.560
It's going to have to force his way through teller, but there's going to be some resistance until deep breaks found

04:43:17.980 --> 04:43:21.580
Yeah, that's big, because when 3 vs 4 you feel you might be able to recover.

04:43:21.580 --> 04:43:25.580
You see that happen a lot throughout the series, the 4 vs 2 is a much harder affair.

04:43:25.580 --> 04:43:29.580
Here we go, down goes Wizards, it's going to be another secret round going up to 5,

04:43:29.580 --> 04:43:34.060
and Watt, sorry, 5 and 0 here on the scoreboard, plant going down.

04:43:34.060 --> 04:43:39.180
However, trying to do what he can with the C4 going, not really anywhere,

04:43:39.180 --> 04:43:43.820
full flashed out, swung on the corner, Savage finds his kill, and then they find the round.

04:43:43.820 --> 04:43:48.860
the game. I think that's a

04:43:48.960 --> 04:43:50.500
good point. Yeah, when the

04:43:50.600 --> 04:43:52.100
goings getting good, it's

04:43:52.200 --> 04:43:53.500
carrying on being good 14

04:43:53.600 --> 04:43:55.300
secret. I think too big

04:43:55.400 --> 04:43:56.500
engagements there for me was

04:43:56.600 --> 04:43:58.100
the walk up the main says the

04:43:58.200 --> 04:43:58.700
lobby stairs, even though

04:43:58.800 --> 04:43:59.700
fanatic had the information,

04:43:59.800 --> 04:44:01.300
they lost the gun fight. That

04:44:01.400 --> 04:44:02.300
tells me that they're stressed.

04:44:02.400 --> 04:44:02.900
Tells me that they're a

04:44:03.000 --> 04:44:04.220
little bit. You know, they're

04:44:04.320 --> 04:44:04.820
not as confident as they

04:44:04.920 --> 04:44:06.320
previously were in the last

04:44:06.420 --> 04:44:07.420
couple of months. They're

04:44:07.520 --> 04:44:08.020
losing those ones, and

04:44:08.120 --> 04:44:08.820
sometimes it does just come

04:44:08.920 --> 04:44:10.020
down to losing that entry

04:44:10.120 --> 04:44:11.620
engagement. They win that

04:44:11.720 --> 04:44:12.620
they retain top floor for

04:44:12.720 --> 04:44:13.220
a little bit longer. They

04:44:13.220 --> 04:44:23.220
He got shut down as well. And from there, it was a team secret controlling the entire round and the pace of the game.

04:44:23.220 --> 04:44:33.220
Yeah, it's just, again, it's just their battleground. They know what they're doing here and no one, even with the constant changes, looks like it's going to be an easy fight against Secret.

04:44:33.220 --> 04:44:37.520
I'm right there with you deep back I'm afraid. Not a massive head shake in the

04:44:37.520 --> 04:44:42.640
screen but it's very very gentle side to side it gives off that kind of I'm not

04:44:42.640 --> 04:44:47.200
angry I'm just really disappointed kind of vibe isn't it? Yeah.

04:44:47.200 --> 04:44:50.620
Looking good. Well let's see if anything can transform here. We look pretty

04:44:50.620 --> 04:44:53.400
dire a bit like we speak for earlier on today and then we should turn it around.

04:44:53.400 --> 04:44:57.160
Maybe we see the same for Thalada Keer but I feel to do that they need to get

04:44:57.160 --> 04:45:00.400
this round over long. This is their best chance. They're down in the basement.

04:45:00.400 --> 04:45:02.680
They've got the smoke, of course, got the chanker.

04:45:02.680 --> 04:45:05.160
Let's not die first time round, this time round, however.

04:45:05.160 --> 04:45:07.840
They've got the board on the side to be able to deal with the smokes that come out.

04:45:07.840 --> 04:45:12.000
They have got all the tools they need to pull up an offensive bunker defence here,

04:45:12.000 --> 04:45:15.320
but it requires the players playing their part in that defence.

04:45:15.320 --> 04:45:20.280
OK, I've been told that your wonderful co-caster is back from his couple of rounds out,

04:45:20.280 --> 04:45:22.040
so this is where I'm going to depart here, Derry,

04:45:22.040 --> 04:45:24.600
and wreck him to keep his head back into the mix.

04:45:24.600 --> 04:45:25.360
Boo!

04:45:25.360 --> 04:45:28.120
Trash, I am back indeed, and I see that things haven't changed!

04:45:28.120 --> 04:45:29.280
I've reached it!

04:45:29.280 --> 04:45:33.840
Um, we had a little spontaneous power cut second in 15 years, how about that?

04:45:33.840 --> 04:45:34.840
You're a bad luck.

04:45:34.840 --> 04:45:38.040
You missed, uh, you missed a little Halver crash out for me, mate, when they were defending

04:45:38.040 --> 04:45:39.800
downstairs, as they are now, basically.

04:45:39.800 --> 04:45:40.800
Another one.

04:45:40.800 --> 04:45:44.880
And he was playing Shanker, yeah, 40 seconds on the clock, 5v5, oh great, he's Shanker.

04:45:44.880 --> 04:45:49.520
He's got 20 shumma, because they can win this, and then he dies to Garage.

04:45:49.520 --> 04:45:50.520
Oh, it's me.

04:45:50.520 --> 04:45:51.520
Not ideal.

04:45:51.520 --> 04:45:52.520
Not ideal.

04:45:52.520 --> 04:45:55.520
It's not ideal, it's a nice and easy way to put it short.

04:45:55.520 --> 04:46:02.720
That was that you use when G2 killed themselves twice and came round on laps against Secret.

04:46:02.720 --> 04:46:05.720
Not ideal was the exact phrase that you used there and I agree it's still true.

04:46:05.720 --> 04:46:07.320
We try to find the positive guys.

04:46:07.320 --> 04:46:10.320
Let's see if there's any positive in round six for Fnatic to be found.

04:46:10.320 --> 04:46:13.920
It is five versus four so they've got a little bit of something going for them at least.

04:46:13.920 --> 04:46:17.920
Noah has been taken down so that's this entry off the, sorry, the striker off the board

04:46:17.920 --> 04:46:23.120
and a lot of utility gone with it and much like Secret did previously, you know,

04:46:23.120 --> 04:46:27.160
you know, they were behind on

04:46:27.160 --> 04:46:28.200
it's about getting that first

04:46:28.200 --> 04:46:28.220
round for them. They're gonna

04:46:28.220 --> 04:46:31.100
be now working the utility

04:46:31.100 --> 04:46:31.760
which runs going in just to

04:46:31.760 --> 04:46:35.260
get that hatch open, which is

04:46:35.260 --> 04:46:35.900
now gonna be successful. They've

04:46:35.900 --> 04:46:39.100
got a little bit of access

04:46:39.100 --> 04:46:40.100
into word service. So things are

04:46:40.100 --> 04:46:44.100
at least starting to work for

04:46:44.100 --> 04:46:45.100
secret on the attack. Yeah, I

04:46:45.100 --> 04:46:46.100
can't imagine. Stop how many

04:46:46.100 --> 04:46:47.100
houses have you had to get

04:46:47.100 --> 04:46:50.100
in wheels running around? Easy

04:46:50.100 --> 04:46:53.540
Why is he there? Why is...

04:46:53.540 --> 04:46:56.540
You're playing a bunker strat with denial.

04:46:56.540 --> 04:46:59.540
Why is Halberd at the bottom of garage ramp?

04:46:59.540 --> 04:47:01.540
What is he looking for?

04:47:01.540 --> 04:47:04.540
And you've had a player run down main stairs and go,

04:47:04.540 --> 04:47:06.540
oh, thank you very much. I don't get it.

04:47:06.540 --> 04:47:08.540
By some miracle, the rest of his team

04:47:08.540 --> 04:47:10.540
have managed to recover this deadshot.

04:47:10.540 --> 04:47:12.540
It's been a wonderful job on blue stairs

04:47:12.540 --> 04:47:14.540
to potentially save this round.

04:47:14.540 --> 04:47:16.540
They have not... They've got 2c force.

04:47:16.540 --> 04:47:18.540
That's what they've got left to play with here

04:47:18.540 --> 04:47:19.540
inside 40 seconds of denial,

04:47:19.540 --> 04:47:21.540
I think secret now have to go for kills.

04:47:21.540 --> 04:47:23.540
Yeah, Savages, unfortunately.

04:47:23.540 --> 04:47:25.540
It looks like he's disconnected partway through the round.

04:47:25.540 --> 04:47:26.540
I think he was still alive.

04:47:26.540 --> 04:47:28.540
So, certainly not ideal for them.

04:47:28.540 --> 04:47:30.540
At least it is in a tough spot.

04:47:30.540 --> 04:47:31.540
Deepak takes him down.

04:47:31.540 --> 04:47:34.540
But, well, you know, as far as fanatic are concerned,

04:47:34.540 --> 04:47:36.540
however they've got across the line there,

04:47:36.540 --> 04:47:38.540
whether, you know, a player drops out, you know,

04:47:38.540 --> 04:47:39.540
things happen.

04:47:39.540 --> 04:47:40.540
It doesn't matter.

04:47:40.540 --> 04:47:41.540
They've got the round one

04:47:41.540 --> 04:47:43.540
and it gives them something to work from.

04:47:43.540 --> 04:47:45.540
Before I have another crash hour about Halberton,

04:47:45.540 --> 04:47:47.540
let's go to the studio, please.

04:47:47.540 --> 04:47:53.120
I love how everyone has become with just crashing out about what's happening with team so far

04:47:53.120 --> 04:47:56.540
But I want to take us back to one round in particular in this first half

04:47:57.040 --> 04:47:59.040
Again, we could crash out about that

04:47:59.040 --> 04:48:00.040
Oh, yeah

04:48:00.040 --> 04:48:01.040
Well, I could do it by super

04:48:01.040 --> 04:48:02.040
What was this round?

04:48:02.040 --> 04:48:04.040
Yeah, it was. Well, it wasn't because Deadshot was over here

04:48:04.040 --> 04:48:05.540
Deadshot was killing everybody

04:48:05.540 --> 04:48:06.540
He killed absolutely everybody

04:48:06.540 --> 04:48:07.540
Even look at this shot

04:48:07.540 --> 04:48:08.540
For no, no

04:48:08.540 --> 04:48:10.540
Then he dies

04:48:10.540 --> 04:48:12.540
And then he gets to two versus one

04:48:12.540 --> 04:48:13.540
Zero seconds

04:48:13.540 --> 04:48:14.540
Sorry

04:48:14.540 --> 04:48:15.540
Wizard, he's been red pinged

04:48:15.540 --> 04:48:16.540
He's been red pinged

04:48:16.540 --> 04:48:18.540
Red ping, why?

04:48:18.540 --> 04:48:19.540
Two players are here.

04:48:19.540 --> 04:48:22.540
Two players, red ping, just killed upon that, and you're sprinting.

04:48:22.540 --> 04:48:24.540
One V2.

04:48:24.540 --> 04:48:25.540
Why?

04:48:25.540 --> 04:48:26.540
One V2.

04:48:26.540 --> 04:48:28.540
Timer is at 0.00.

04:48:28.540 --> 04:48:30.540
You see two red things.

04:48:30.540 --> 04:48:33.540
So that means that someone is planting, and that means that someone is covering.

04:48:33.540 --> 04:48:34.540
Two?

04:48:34.540 --> 04:48:35.540
Two red things.

04:48:35.540 --> 04:48:37.540
One is planting, one is covering.

04:48:37.540 --> 04:48:38.540
Perfect.

04:48:38.540 --> 04:48:39.540
That's where he is.

04:48:39.540 --> 04:48:41.540
Either you peek the guy that's covering.

04:48:41.540 --> 04:48:45.540
It's just basic late round composure problem.

04:48:45.540 --> 04:48:46.540
Once again.

04:48:46.540 --> 04:48:47.540
Yeah.

04:48:47.540 --> 04:48:51.340
But at the same time, it's just Dechat brings their own back and even then he made the

04:48:51.340 --> 04:48:56.900
mistake by the way, because when he gets a triple kill, he's safe behind the couch in

04:48:56.900 --> 04:48:57.900
kitchen.

04:48:57.900 --> 04:49:01.940
Someone jumps in, print a window, and he tries to pull his pistol and stands up and

04:49:01.940 --> 04:49:02.940
he dies there.

04:49:02.940 --> 04:49:05.380
If he just stays hidden, they win the round.

04:49:05.380 --> 04:49:08.460
We can joke all we want, but so far this has been a really good half from Seagood

04:49:08.460 --> 04:49:10.580
and we get to give them credit, we're credited with you too.

04:49:10.580 --> 04:49:11.580
Yeah, no they have.

04:49:11.580 --> 04:49:15.020
I think, you know, Savage just, I said it was such a good IGF.

04:49:15.020 --> 04:49:18.360
He really, really understands everything in this map.

04:49:18.360 --> 04:49:22.420
The way he frame works so quickly in terms of knowing, okay, we're doing this, we need

04:49:22.420 --> 04:49:23.420
this.

04:49:23.420 --> 04:49:24.420
If we're not doing this, we need this.

04:49:24.420 --> 04:49:25.420
Exactly.

04:49:25.420 --> 04:49:26.660
This target, this target is down.

04:49:26.660 --> 04:49:28.160
Next target, this target is down.

04:49:28.160 --> 04:49:29.160
There's this guy.

04:49:29.160 --> 04:49:30.160
Okay, let's follow this opportunity.

04:49:30.160 --> 04:49:34.400
And the main thing is, no one, no one is speaking around him.

04:49:34.400 --> 04:49:38.820
It is literally savage, pinpointing every target and they just achieve that after,

04:49:38.820 --> 04:49:39.820
after, after.

04:49:39.820 --> 04:49:40.820
Which is not indicative.

04:49:40.820 --> 04:49:44.900
It's beautiful, it's proactive, it's exactly what we need to see from Secret.

04:49:44.900 --> 04:49:59.900
And I think we will ask him eventually if he wins that, but I want to know how much of an impact was a tactical timeout at the end of the quarter of Basique of Chalet, and since then, we're seeing a team that is playing so well together, it's very impressive.

04:49:59.900 --> 04:50:09.900
Like in the look of these bands coming in so far, hopefully it's a banner, that's kind of what I'm thinking. It caused fanatic problems in the early round and then they're not going to have too many problems in the long run.

04:50:09.900 --> 04:50:12.820
They do leave the Hibana open, but they have got rid of the ace.

04:50:12.820 --> 04:50:14.420
I'll cap it down again for the excuse.

04:50:14.420 --> 04:50:17.020
Mirror and clash coming in from Fnatic.

04:50:17.020 --> 04:50:19.420
It makes a lot of sense, but what it does leave open

04:50:19.420 --> 04:50:22.300
is the strongest site on Bank, which is the basement.

04:50:22.300 --> 04:50:24.380
It leaves open the Cade and the Tubra,

04:50:24.380 --> 04:50:26.780
which means Fnatic in this round, in Round 7,

04:50:26.780 --> 04:50:28.740
are going to have a very big problem in the late round.

04:50:28.740 --> 04:50:33.740
You can see already Smoke, T'Chanka, Cade, Tubra picked from the defensive.

04:50:33.740 --> 04:50:37.140
We very clearly know our secret win condition is going to be in this round.

04:50:37.140 --> 04:50:45.140
Alright, well seems like a lot of problems for them to solve. Not just in this upcoming round, but this round deficit that they've got going on for themselves, going into the second one.

04:50:47.140 --> 04:50:53.140
Yeah, they've got problems alright, and probably if you see what I'm going to count at this point, it is looking rough.

04:50:53.140 --> 04:50:59.140
See what we're asking secret? And this show is over there. Chances of making Salt Lake just right side in the upper bracket.

04:50:59.140 --> 04:51:06.440
He's gonna slip through their fingers, and I think Nerv probably claimed that he was the main perpetrator of their downfall tonight, Tim.

04:51:06.440 --> 04:51:11.940
Yeah, look, the main problem that Fnatic have got right now is that fifth round.

04:51:11.940 --> 04:51:19.440
It's always the... If you lose the fifth round, if you go five-one down when a team's going on to attack, it's a problem.

04:51:19.440 --> 04:51:24.840
And the reason it's a problem is that all he needs to find one side, which is he's found one side that the team went past.

04:51:24.840 --> 04:51:32.320
You know, if top floor's not there jam today, it doesn't matter. Just win server twice. If that doesn't work, just win over the twype.

04:51:32.320 --> 04:51:40.320
You just need to find one start to lock down. I think they're actually probably going to do it, you know, quicker, probably a little bit more convincingly than that.

04:51:40.320 --> 04:51:45.720
But it just ramps the pressure up for the team that's facing that situation.

04:51:45.720 --> 04:51:52.720
You know, a fanatic knows that at some point they have to win all three of the sites that Secret choose.

04:51:52.720 --> 04:51:56.560
and that is going to be tossed. As it stands, we're going to have an early track coming in.

04:51:56.560 --> 04:52:00.160
It's on to that man who has been a serious headache

04:52:00.160 --> 04:52:03.520
for them over the last few rounds now until he stands.

04:52:03.520 --> 04:52:11.440
And the information will be relayed. It will relay rather. It will find himself being challenged

04:52:11.440 --> 04:52:18.080
by Haver on the shield. He drops away to safety and secret continue to operate the five players.

04:52:18.080 --> 04:52:24.760
All right, well they've got control pretty early on as well as off the gap only 60 seconds in and they've got all they need

04:52:24.760 --> 04:52:28.960
Every player on the side of secret is down in the basement

04:52:31.480 --> 04:52:36.440
Did he get down by the C4 from Mowgli? I think he did exactly that's all right

04:52:39.280 --> 04:52:42.880
I need like a live action replayer that I'm dead confused how the Halish has gone down

04:52:42.880 --> 04:52:46.840
By the way, he's back on his feet and they still have all those sense gadgets to be able to work with here

04:52:46.840 --> 04:52:51.900
Another truck of the round may be coming out from deep-wrapped, testing it for a couple of seconds, can confirm. They still work.

04:52:52.780 --> 04:52:56.080
And they need to get themselves set up for the site itself, and let's not forget

04:52:56.480 --> 04:53:01.920
Touch wood, Nathan's on the chanca here, sat deep inside a lockers able to deny the default plant spot.

04:53:02.000 --> 04:53:06.400
We aren't gonna dive to the entry. We aren't gonna go wandering down garage ramps too early in the round,

04:53:06.400 --> 04:53:11.520
are we? We're gonna do sensible things here, and he will enable us to stall out a lot when you can't wait up with things like these

04:53:11.520 --> 04:53:16.560
Well, thanks for those people's also free smokes to work behind here. This is a lot of potential

04:53:17.840 --> 04:53:23.440
Yeah, this is a perfect example of a to change the defense is just burning out that entire

04:53:24.000 --> 04:53:26.320
You know plan spot. I was not taking any damage

04:53:26.880 --> 04:53:32.080
This should be launched deep enough. He's just gone people. He's not gone for the additional

04:53:32.240 --> 04:53:38.240
I think it's always a good idea to fire two at a time in there get one default and one slightly deeper on to door to

04:53:38.240 --> 04:53:42.840
to prevent that happening because it forces them deeper into sight to be able to put the plant down.

04:53:42.840 --> 04:53:46.280
So that's actually really big from Fnatic being able to get that diffuser down

04:53:46.280 --> 04:53:49.400
whilst the chemical launcher is active and bringing them in.

04:53:49.400 --> 04:53:52.480
It's a big play, with a huge double hominest.

04:53:52.480 --> 04:53:54.920
There's stopping that flank from coming up.

04:53:54.920 --> 04:53:57.640
There is no reason that Fnatic should be losing this now.

04:53:57.640 --> 04:54:00.280
Deepak picks up Nerve and it is all up to Mowgli.

04:54:00.280 --> 04:54:02.080
He's trying to get anything he can going.

04:54:02.080 --> 04:54:03.080
He picks up over.

04:54:03.080 --> 04:54:05.640
That's going to be a dead shot with the final kill.

04:54:05.640 --> 04:54:07.280
And Fnatic get themselves another round.

04:54:08.240 --> 04:54:12.880
That's Halber. He did the hard work, got the plant down, still really wants to go for it.

04:54:12.880 --> 04:54:13.880
He did a job that round!

04:54:13.880 --> 04:54:14.880
He did a job that round!

04:54:14.880 --> 04:54:21.560
He did, he did, he did, it was a good round, it was a good round overall, but Aliq as

04:54:21.560 --> 04:54:24.840
well. Well played the most in the pre-plot and in the post-plant I thought too, executed

04:54:24.840 --> 04:54:28.040
as a round overall, very effectively. And it's why I'll always say there are two

04:54:28.040 --> 04:54:31.080
halves to a game of siege. Don't count a team out just because you didn't play

04:54:31.080 --> 04:54:35.040
bad on one half, things can turn around quite drastically afterwards. I'll not say

04:54:35.040 --> 04:54:36.760
So that's what we'll see for the rest of this half.

04:54:36.760 --> 04:54:38.600
They've been out with one of the five brown win streak here.

04:54:38.600 --> 04:54:40.960
They're good, but I think he's still looking promising here.

04:54:40.960 --> 04:54:42.240
They can pull off a very good execute

04:54:42.240 --> 04:54:44.720
onto baseman side of bank.

04:54:44.720 --> 04:54:46.080
Now we go to the top floor.

04:54:46.080 --> 04:54:48.080
Let's see how they fair up here, Tim.

04:54:48.960 --> 04:54:50.280
Well, this is it.

04:54:50.280 --> 04:54:52.480
You know, we've always got to base,

04:54:52.480 --> 04:54:54.040
we've always got to base it on what we've said.

04:54:54.040 --> 04:54:55.120
And what we've said so far

04:54:55.120 --> 04:54:56.960
is Team Fit being very dominant.

04:54:56.960 --> 04:55:01.080
So yes, the reality is they possibly are probably winners.

04:55:01.080 --> 04:55:03.160
But are we right in Finastercoff?

04:55:03.160 --> 04:55:07.760
absolutely not any team that is in the server can turn it around can bring it

04:55:07.760 --> 04:55:13.440
back and fight their way into a match and Fnatic can only do that one round at a

04:55:13.440 --> 04:55:17.440
time they promised inside there if you're a Fnatic fan is that they've taken

04:55:17.440 --> 04:55:21.600
the hardest site they've dealt with or arguably the hardest site server has been

04:55:21.600 --> 04:55:24.560
cleared out they've got the attack in win there they will need another one

04:55:24.560 --> 04:55:28.400
down there likely because I think we will see secret go there again you

04:55:28.400 --> 04:55:32.120
know should Fnatic come back into this but for the time being they are

04:55:32.120 --> 04:55:35.560
not going to be attacking up onto that top floor. Just having a look at the line-up.

04:55:35.560 --> 04:55:39.560
We've got the big slide. Expect to see how Vamir be going in from top square or stop,

04:55:39.560 --> 04:55:42.520
trying to create a little bit of space, trying to deal with Janitor.

04:55:42.520 --> 04:55:47.000
And then you've got DPEC. On the ying, you've got Crocs on the class.

04:55:47.000 --> 04:55:51.240
So it's going to be a window-heavy focus, I would expect.

04:55:51.240 --> 04:55:53.240
Yes, no realism is that right.

04:55:53.240 --> 04:55:55.240
Let's pop all the players up on there is what we look for.

04:55:55.240 --> 04:55:57.720
And the rest of the looking is trying to ease the pressure,

04:55:57.720 --> 04:56:00.680
or at least create the pressure, unless you get stuff going elsewhere.

04:56:00.680 --> 04:56:04.780
I stopped and spoke about earlier a player no one looking to open up the wall so you can see down the hallway

04:56:05.080 --> 04:56:09.740
And get the ocean to do that in this round the banner was available chosen not to take it

04:56:09.740 --> 04:56:12.680
I'm trying to remember just go more direct towards fighting. How is the point pan?

04:56:12.680 --> 04:56:16.640
I hope this works out in here. We go. Let's step in on four juiced up as well

04:56:16.640 --> 04:56:19.480
Now back at least for a moment though while they deal with everything else

04:56:19.480 --> 04:56:22.480
Classes up and over the top to try and make more room for the rest of the now

04:56:22.480 --> 04:56:25.480
It's a push on fours. It was wizard creating that distraction for them

04:56:25.480 --> 04:56:28.840
Not a whole lot of ground game so far team, but at least they're inside the building

04:56:28.840 --> 04:56:34.840
Cross manages to get the opener. Crocs takes down Savage, with one onto Wizard himself.

04:56:34.840 --> 04:56:38.840
He's got a little bit of a blind spray through the smoke. Not going to find any joy, but it doesn't matter

04:56:38.840 --> 04:56:43.840
because Crocs is doing serious work with that Flasko. Manages to make it a third in the round

04:56:43.840 --> 04:56:48.840
and that could be a real critical moment because it swings the balance now to four versus two.

04:56:48.840 --> 04:56:53.840
Four versus one as Deadshot picks up Mowgli. Fnatic is just running around side

04:56:53.840 --> 04:57:00.840
I think it might be. I mean there's a two really good attacks on the two primary sites of bank. Unsurprisingly, just like

04:57:00.840 --> 04:57:02.840
to get the kill at elevators.

04:57:02.940 --> 04:57:04.840
That's going to be fanatic

04:57:04.940 --> 04:57:06.840
taking a second attack in a row.

04:57:06.940 --> 04:57:09.840
Is it on? There's is it on?

04:57:09.940 --> 04:57:11.840
You tell me, Tim. Is it on?

04:57:11.940 --> 04:57:13.840
I think it might be.

04:57:13.940 --> 04:57:14.840
I mean, those are two really good

04:57:14.940 --> 04:57:16.840
attacks on the two primary sites

04:57:16.940 --> 04:57:18.840
of bank. Unsurprisingly, just

04:57:18.940 --> 04:57:20.840
like that did back in the in

04:57:20.940 --> 04:57:21.840
the first half after just two

04:57:21.940 --> 04:57:23.840
rounds secret calling an attack

04:57:23.940 --> 04:57:24.840
timeout because they've

04:57:24.940 --> 04:57:25.840
realized, Oh, we've been

04:57:25.940 --> 04:57:27.840
slammed two sites in a row

04:57:27.940 --> 04:57:28.840
now. We need to turn our

04:57:28.840 --> 04:57:36.200
now, we need to turn our fortunes are out. Yeah, we're going to have another one of those

04:57:36.200 --> 04:57:41.120
mythical twister timeouts. We saw what happened last time around. It had a big impact on the

04:57:41.120 --> 04:57:46.560
game. Can he do the same here to get his team over at the line? You know, I've spoken about

04:57:46.560 --> 04:57:50.960
secret playing under pressure with Sinem, kind of wobble one sort twice. There's not been

04:57:50.960 --> 04:57:55.040
under huge pressure, you know, and that's the ones in the group phase. Fourth place

04:57:55.040 --> 04:57:57.840
was fine. You get yourself through into the playoffs. You know, there wasn't

04:57:57.840 --> 04:57:59.840
that's a huge pressure there.

04:57:59.840 --> 04:58:03.640
But yeah, I think when we've seen teams kind of go at them

04:58:03.640 --> 04:58:05.040
or sort of come back at them,

04:58:05.040 --> 04:58:08.640
they seem to be susceptible to losing a few rounds here

04:58:08.640 --> 04:58:09.640
and there back to back.

04:58:09.640 --> 04:58:10.880
We've seen that happen.

04:58:10.880 --> 04:58:13.480
And if that continues two more, it's level

04:58:13.480 --> 04:58:14.880
and it's absolutely anybody's.

04:58:14.880 --> 04:58:17.040
So I think Twister needs to be having

04:58:17.040 --> 04:58:19.600
as much of an effect as he can right now.

04:58:19.600 --> 04:58:21.680
We've seen them down in the basement.

04:58:21.680 --> 04:58:23.560
We've seen them on the top floor.

04:58:23.560 --> 04:58:27.040
I'm now wondering, do they try one of those again?

04:58:27.040 --> 04:58:29.160
They're every day most comfortable, and yes, they do.

04:58:29.160 --> 04:58:31.720
I was wondering, do they do that, or do we go to open area?

04:58:31.720 --> 04:58:33.680
I always think open area is a difficult site

04:58:33.680 --> 04:58:35.080
if you've lost the other team.

04:58:35.080 --> 04:58:38.400
So, yeah, we're gonna take them back down to server.

04:58:38.400 --> 04:58:40.560
I do agree, it'd be weird when I think to go to here.

04:58:40.560 --> 04:58:41.640
Let's stick to the primary side,

04:58:41.640 --> 04:58:42.600
which is always gonna be the base,

04:58:42.600 --> 04:58:43.560
but the second club really,

04:58:43.560 --> 04:58:46.080
teams will always default to going downstairs first.

04:58:46.080 --> 04:58:46.920
Similar vibe here,

04:58:46.920 --> 04:58:48.600
I'm gonna worry about verticals being opened up

04:58:48.600 --> 04:58:50.040
or be ahead anywhere near as much as you might

04:58:50.040 --> 04:58:51.080
on somewhere like club,

04:58:51.080 --> 04:58:52.400
which makes it a lot more defendable,

04:58:52.400 --> 04:58:54.240
lots of utility, you can just stack to

04:58:54.240 --> 04:58:55.440
lock things away,

04:58:55.440 --> 04:59:01.240
It dictates really tight time for attackers to be able to plug in overwhelmed defenders that are otherwise unbunked and I think,

04:59:01.240 --> 04:59:05.140
and looking at how they're setting up for this side, again, it's a similar sort of story.

04:59:05.140 --> 04:59:11.740
Maybe even going back to the days of Alton, when I've seen this one for a while, having a pulse playing inside of gold to call when the defuse is going down.

04:59:14.940 --> 04:59:18.640
The pick on the Deimos. Actually going to relocate.

04:59:18.640 --> 04:59:24.440
He'd gone down there to have a little look at the book, decides maybe that support is needed for his team elsewhere.

04:59:24.440 --> 04:59:27.640
of course on the day more she'd expect him to join him in the room clear the one

04:59:27.640 --> 04:59:31.320
manages to take down dead shot again continuing his great run he's going to

04:59:31.320 --> 04:59:35.960
be on the Fenrir upstairs I'm just a little bit concerned of how Fnatic are

04:59:35.960 --> 04:59:39.920
dealing with Noor or whether they are he manages to escape he's got a way Scott

04:59:39.920 --> 04:59:45.280
free with an opener onto a sledge there not the biggest loss necessary for Fnatic

04:59:45.280 --> 04:59:48.640
the biggest loss of dead shot going here is the kills that he's been

04:59:48.640 --> 04:59:52.800
getting and the utility not the end of the world there's not too much

04:59:52.800 --> 04:59:55.800
you're going to be wanting the

04:59:55.800 --> 04:59:56.800
hatches. That's about it, and

04:59:56.800 --> 04:59:57.800
you're going to need our breach

04:59:57.800 --> 04:59:58.800
for that anyway, which they've

04:59:58.800 --> 05:00:00.800
got. So, you know, maybe the

05:00:00.800 --> 05:00:02.800
needs, but they can live without

05:00:02.800 --> 05:00:04.800
the, like I said, the bigger

05:00:04.800 --> 05:00:05.800
problem is the man himself. But

05:00:05.800 --> 05:00:06.800
four versus five at the minute,

05:00:06.800 --> 05:00:07.800
they know that there's

05:00:07.800 --> 05:00:08.800
somebody on blue stairs. Deep

05:00:08.800 --> 05:00:09.800
actually just going to hold

05:00:09.800 --> 05:00:10.800
that angle for the time being

05:00:10.800 --> 05:00:12.800
three versus five as citizen

05:00:12.800 --> 05:00:14.800
managers to find crocs. They

05:00:14.800 --> 05:00:15.800
still haven't got open area

05:00:15.800 --> 05:00:16.800
control. Well, that control

05:00:16.800 --> 05:00:18.800
yet and secret have the

05:00:18.800 --> 05:00:20.800
luxury now of being able to

05:00:20.800 --> 05:00:21.800
hold those positions for much

05:00:21.800 --> 05:00:24.300
for much longer than the otherwise might have done.

05:00:25.300 --> 05:00:26.800
It's taken another death by the...

05:00:26.800 --> 05:00:30.800
It just feels like the first few deaths in the round they've lost needlessly.

05:00:30.800 --> 05:00:35.300
The number of times that we've watched old Virtus Pro was Team Empire's mobile thing to come out,

05:00:35.300 --> 05:00:39.300
where we'd have joystick pushing in top floor on stage and there would always be a drone at his feet.

05:00:39.300 --> 05:00:42.300
You've had deadshot try pushing upstairs, died for free.

05:00:42.300 --> 05:00:46.300
Cross the bush towards open area without knowing if it's clear, died for free.

05:00:46.300 --> 05:00:49.800
At least I was one that's come back, but these are wholly avoidable deaths

05:00:49.800 --> 05:00:56.800
I don't know, she's very, very weird to see.

05:00:56.800 --> 05:01:04.800
Access has somewhat been gained, but I fanaticly put themselves established in server at least.

05:01:04.800 --> 05:01:12.800
But what is their answer to this? The classic pulse in gold bars just start feeding all that intel with the pulse scanner throughout the war.

05:01:12.800 --> 05:01:15.800
They brought the nerd to deal with the shield. Fantastic.

05:01:15.800 --> 05:01:20.400
Recognize that the janker was part of the problem last time they did manage to work around it

05:01:20.400 --> 05:01:21.760
They didn't want to have to again

05:01:21.760 --> 05:01:26.260
So they've removed the shield and that will force nerf to step away from that cover

05:01:26.260 --> 05:01:31.740
So a good first step here in comes to my utility. You expect to see fanatic making a way with it

05:01:32.520 --> 05:01:34.520
Was it nice to get off drone here really? I think

05:01:40.440 --> 05:01:43.400
Okay, we've got the diffuser down it's in a good spot

05:01:43.400 --> 05:01:47.440
and then he's going to go to

05:01:47.500 --> 05:01:48.900
the back of the car. If you

05:01:49.000 --> 05:01:49.500
come for the retake here, which

05:01:49.600 --> 05:01:51.500
they should do and send to

05:01:51.600 --> 05:01:52.200
upstairs. He's done but know

05:01:52.300 --> 05:01:55.300
that watch him on the reverse

05:01:55.400 --> 05:01:57.300
angle. And like that they will

05:01:57.400 --> 05:01:59.300
deny. Unfortunately, how we're

05:01:59.400 --> 05:02:01.300
very much left a man on the

05:02:01.400 --> 05:02:03.300
island. As was have watched on

05:02:03.400 --> 05:02:05.300
from a drone inside a garage

05:02:05.400 --> 05:02:07.300
and that unfortunately is cost

05:02:07.400 --> 05:02:09.300
them. If really confident of

05:02:09.400 --> 05:02:11.300
the cover being provided by

05:02:11.300 --> 05:02:15.620
final kill and fanatic any momentum that they felt that they might be building

05:02:15.620 --> 05:02:21.140
has now seemingly been lost as they find themselves on the receiving end of three

05:02:21.140 --> 05:02:25.340
match points coming up from Team Secret which we'll see them any one of them

05:02:25.340 --> 05:02:30.680
one will see fanatic eliminated from the ML kickoff phase secret will progress

05:02:30.680 --> 05:02:35.300
into that lower bracket semi-final where they will have a tough match up

05:02:35.300 --> 05:02:39.860
no matter what happens tomorrow there's they will face either team

05:02:39.860 --> 05:02:47.260
Falcons or Virtus. Pro neither of them will be easy and secret of what I work to do to get themselves to

05:02:47.260 --> 05:02:52.820
start work, but it has to start here and now. Yeah, you also can't spend a thing as much time as it is today

05:02:52.820 --> 05:02:57.860
warming into this series like now. It's cool it has to house. They were very slow to start things off

05:02:57.860 --> 05:03:02.020
and you can't afford to be dropping a map against one of those teams if you are going to make it.

05:03:02.020 --> 05:03:05.500
I think you've got to come out the gate swing and really have them on the back foot from the off

05:03:05.500 --> 05:03:09.660
rather than playing a recovery game yourself like you're already at a disadvantage and then having to

05:03:09.660 --> 05:03:13.700
the game. It's just no way you

05:03:13.700 --> 05:03:15.200
come out on top there. So

05:03:15.200 --> 05:03:16.200
hopefully you've got a lesson to

05:03:16.200 --> 05:03:17.700
learn and hopefully a different

05:03:17.700 --> 05:03:18.700
secret that we see turn up. Of

05:03:18.700 --> 05:03:20.700
course, assuming they get this

05:03:20.700 --> 05:03:21.700
one over the line here and now

05:03:21.700 --> 05:03:23.700
there are still three rounds of

05:03:23.700 --> 05:03:25.700
a fantastic good fight back, but

05:03:25.700 --> 05:03:27.700
it is a tall order. That's

05:03:27.700 --> 05:03:28.700
pretty noticeable deficit him.

05:03:28.700 --> 05:03:29.700
I'll be surprised if it gets

05:03:29.700 --> 05:03:31.700
to O. T. Yeah, well, again,

05:03:31.700 --> 05:03:32.700
the big problem is secret.

05:03:32.700 --> 05:03:33.700
I've got a full rotation now,

05:03:33.700 --> 05:03:34.700
haven't they? And you know,

05:03:34.700 --> 05:03:35.700
they can go top floor. They

05:03:35.700 --> 05:03:36.700
can go open and then they'll

05:03:36.700 --> 05:03:37.700
have servers open to them

05:03:37.700 --> 05:03:38.700
again as well. And it was

05:03:38.700 --> 05:03:55.700
So yeah, pretty good, you know position for secret to be in. But again, let's not write. Let's not write fanatic off just yet. They've certainly shown improvements today, you know, over some of the issues that they've had throughout kickoff and they did enough ultimately to get themselves into the upper bracket.

05:03:55.700 --> 05:04:01.380
down here to the lower bracket. And it is filling the wheelhouse. It is still possible,

05:04:01.380 --> 05:04:07.300
but it is going to take a mammoth effort from all the team in order to get themselves over the

05:04:07.300 --> 05:04:12.740
line. For now, the Rateros will start raining in. That is not ideal. Noah takes down. However,

05:04:12.740 --> 05:04:18.260
the grin is lost. It's going to be a big part of the execute. That Nitro, absolutely on point

05:04:18.260 --> 05:04:23.460
from Noah on the Tuber Owen. His great break game continues. It does. Yeah, really

05:04:23.460 --> 05:04:25.380
really been a bit of a terror-hazardly so far.

05:04:25.380 --> 05:04:26.740
Unfortunately for Howard, and I'll put him down

05:04:26.740 --> 05:04:29.660
at, I think, at 8 and 26 throughout this series,

05:04:29.660 --> 05:04:33.020
really hasn't been his days, he's tournament,

05:04:33.020 --> 05:04:35.700
it's not been a good tournament overall for him unfortunately.

05:04:35.700 --> 05:04:37.420
And it only goes from bad to worse here at the time,

05:04:37.420 --> 05:04:39.100
and I feel like they really could use him.

05:04:39.100 --> 05:04:40.780
You know, yes, if you've seen Grimm have a Nerf,

05:04:40.780 --> 05:04:43.060
he's still ridiculously powerful as an operator.

05:04:43.060 --> 05:04:44.540
We've seen him banned out a couple of times

05:04:44.540 --> 05:04:46.100
so far tonight as well.

05:04:46.100 --> 05:04:47.500
Really could have done without for the execute

05:04:47.500 --> 05:04:48.340
now instead.

05:04:48.340 --> 05:04:49.940
I'll have to turn towards,

05:04:49.940 --> 05:04:51.980
look at that, he's all the turns of operators,

05:04:51.980 --> 05:04:56.020
to try and keep them going, but there's a lot on the other side to contend with, and

05:04:56.020 --> 05:04:58.060
they've only got half the rounds to work with.

05:04:58.060 --> 05:05:05.500
Dron just having a look around site. Can they locate anybody? I think they're just trying

05:05:05.500 --> 05:05:10.220
to get anything to go off here. DPEC didn't see anybody. He's going to be leaving that

05:05:10.220 --> 05:05:13.940
for Haver to watch. I have no doubt he's scrolling through the drones at this point

05:05:13.940 --> 05:05:16.940
in time. Just trying to feed a bit of intel. He needs to be careful, though, because

05:05:16.940 --> 05:05:22.060
sabbages done, the Nitro written ready. It was taking a bit of damage there, I like that,

05:05:22.060 --> 05:05:27.500
I've been spotted out, those drones doing their job, that does just force him back away, Nitro

05:05:27.500 --> 05:05:33.020
back in pocket, and it also means that Janitor, really playable at this point, and Deepak is able

05:05:33.020 --> 05:05:37.580
to open up that wall, that it needs to be careful though, giving a few too many chances there to

05:05:37.580 --> 05:05:42.620
lose a body at top square. They're really fighting it up all tired here, it feels unless they can

05:05:42.620 --> 05:05:46.780
and get off the board and just equalize things a little bit more, but there'll be Ghost Savage.

05:05:46.780 --> 05:05:51.280
He had so many chances inside of Janitor, inside of the Declan Death sorry, to try and get a kill.

05:05:51.280 --> 05:05:53.840
Wasn't able to find it and eventually he's been bitten back.

05:05:53.840 --> 05:05:58.180
Bosses come on through and the stream on four pushes in, but another kill goes the way of Secret Team

05:05:58.180 --> 05:06:02.380
and they manage to get Savage back up. They get at least one back, but it's a 4v3 here

05:06:02.380 --> 05:06:04.180
and not a lot of time left to work with.

05:06:04.180 --> 05:06:06.060
And look at all the damage that Mowgli's done.

05:06:06.060 --> 05:06:09.180
I know he doesn't get a kill, but he damages Crox. He damages Deepak.

05:06:09.180 --> 05:06:12.120
Noah manages to pick up Deepak. These are one shot now.

05:06:12.120 --> 05:06:16.920
Cross as well, quad kill, could be an ace to finish it off and push them into the semifinal

05:06:16.920 --> 05:06:21.480
No, Wizard says he's not having any of that, what magic has he got left in his pocket though

05:06:21.480 --> 05:06:27.840
1 vs 4 becomes a 1v3, becomes almost a 1v2 but can't quite find his man, 3 seconds left

05:06:27.840 --> 05:06:33.960
to go, and surely this is done, he shakes his ADS, he knows the outcome and it's going

05:06:33.960 --> 05:06:38.200
to be in teams secret, take the map, take the match and move on to the lower bracket

05:06:38.200 --> 05:06:39.200
semifinal

05:06:39.200 --> 05:06:42.200
Very well deserved, I think it shows some real resilience tonight.

05:06:42.200 --> 05:06:47.200
I think to battle back when things are going so bad on that first map and turn things around just shows

05:06:47.200 --> 05:06:52.200
that that fighting spirit is still there in secret despite the recent roster changes

05:06:52.200 --> 05:06:55.200
and that they could still be building something pretty useful here.

05:06:55.200 --> 05:07:00.200
Commissarations of course to Fnatic, they will be out and not home to Salt Lake City,

05:07:00.200 --> 05:07:02.200
but that's the end of the game, so we'll go to a break.

05:07:02.200 --> 05:07:05.200
When we come back to our desk, break down what just happened for you.

05:07:39.200 --> 05:07:41.760
Oh, I don't know what's up in my running out

05:07:41.760 --> 05:07:44.560
Cause I can't make it down from the starting up

05:07:44.560 --> 05:07:47.200
I'ma keep it going so there ain't no left

05:07:52.000 --> 05:07:54.480
I'ma keep it going, I'ma keep it going

05:07:54.480 --> 05:07:57.200
I'ma keep it going so there ain't no left

05:12:09.200 --> 05:12:17.720
What a great comeback in this series by Secret. They keep that great streak alive on Bank as

05:12:17.720 --> 05:12:21.360
well and therefore we get to speak to Secret. In fact, we get to speak to Savage to ask

05:12:21.360 --> 05:12:25.200
him a few questions. Savage, congratulations, keep your hopes and dreams alive of making

05:12:25.200 --> 05:12:29.920
it to the Salt Lake City Major. My main question is how did you guys manage to get

05:12:29.920 --> 05:12:34.000
to such a big comeback?

05:12:34.000 --> 05:13:03.000
I think the maps helped a little bit, like I felt like we were quite a linear team, we don't really have that many variabilities, like in kind of plays on the tag, so that kind of doesn't help us, and I think as well like we just went into the game, not on the wrong mindset, but like on the wrong playstyle, you know, like we knew these guys are good individuals and like they'll be more than happy to take that one V1s and we just kept feeding them that one V1s, and just giving them solo swings.

05:13:04.000 --> 05:13:11.360
Nick were punishing us so that was quite hard to play online. I think then on Chalet, we understood

05:13:12.240 --> 05:13:19.920
changing maps, kind of what we needed to do in order to get the best out of us and to actually

05:13:20.880 --> 05:13:24.320
win the game, to play a different playstyle than what we were doing at the start.

05:13:25.680 --> 05:13:30.480
So Rij, talk to me about the timeout from Twister on Chalet particularly because you guys

05:13:30.480 --> 05:13:35.520
with down zero three. Um I just just lost the clutch and then you guys were able to come back and

05:13:35.520 --> 05:13:40.720
really set your dominance after that. Yeah, it was a good timeouts. Like you uh call for a very

05:13:40.720 --> 05:13:45.840
good play there like the brush. Um mostly to try to go more to the direct play because they were

05:13:45.840 --> 05:13:49.920
very extended on the map. They wanted to take off one of you once. So kind of like getting away

05:13:49.920 --> 05:13:54.160
from that kind of like how we did the first round like it worked but then we lost it

05:13:54.160 --> 05:13:58.320
but like just doing that again so we could focus more on the direct plays there like catching

05:13:58.320 --> 05:14:01.120
and then like extending the map, start off a map and focus more on the game,

05:14:01.120 --> 05:14:04.680
then bomb down rather than you know just giving these guys gunfights.

05:14:05.280 --> 05:14:09.840
So do you think after winning Chalier you had won the game already going into bank?

05:14:09.840 --> 05:14:13.040
Because you guys have such a crazy record on that map.

05:14:13.040 --> 05:14:17.360
16-1 and then obviously the only listed to phase, I mean command.

05:14:17.360 --> 05:14:19.960
And now that's 17 out of 18 left and you played it.

05:14:20.840 --> 05:14:23.960
Yeah, I didn't say a lot, but I'm not losing points at these guys,

05:14:23.960 --> 05:14:25.760
there's no way, so it's okay.

05:14:25.760 --> 05:14:35.160
Honestly, I'm just debating right now, I'm thinking about Noa more and more because every game is just proving to be so consistent.

05:14:35.160 --> 05:14:39.760
I mean, this game entirely, every single map, even the one you lost, he has double digits, you know?

05:14:39.760 --> 05:14:47.260
And I'm just debating, and it's an open question to you. Do you think that because of Jum's departure, he has more place to shine?

05:14:47.260 --> 05:14:54.220
Yeah, I think that's the case because because I saw roles wise like he's still playing most of the same role

05:14:54.380 --> 05:15:00.620
But like even there as you guys could maybe see like he for example bank is no all windows play anymore

05:15:00.620 --> 05:15:04.320
Ben is citizen is and he's taken out more a free role

05:15:04.320 --> 05:15:10.220
No, he's actually lurk but more like more aggressive like playing like I'm trying to get him as much as possible like behind me

05:15:10.220 --> 05:15:13.580
On the shield because I feel like every time like he's behind me. Just I can't work

05:15:13.580 --> 05:15:15.740
The guy just destroys him, yeah.

05:15:15.740 --> 05:15:18.220
So, like, he's been able to even shine a bit more,

05:15:18.220 --> 05:15:21.140
like, taking more aggro, like, roles.

05:15:21.140 --> 05:15:23.980
And I think, obviously, like, he kind of stepped up

05:15:23.980 --> 05:15:28.420
to the lack of gym, in a sense, you know?

05:15:28.420 --> 05:15:31.020
Like, obviously, gym would always, like, show up

05:15:31.020 --> 05:15:32.700
and be the saviour for us.

05:15:32.700 --> 05:15:34.580
Sometimes, not always, but all the times,

05:15:34.580 --> 05:15:37.060
now it's taken a role, you know?

05:15:37.060 --> 05:15:40.300
Like, now it's Noah, the guy that's trying to understand.

05:15:40.300 --> 05:15:41.900
Yeah, I think you've wrote it really nice.

05:15:41.900 --> 05:15:46.900
So thank you so much for giving us all these insights, Savage, and best of luck on the continuation in your bracket one.

05:15:48.900 --> 05:15:52.900
The saviour of this roster is what Savage is saying right now with the departure of Dune,

05:15:52.900 --> 05:15:57.900
but we're seeing that so well in these games, keeping up an insane KD over all three maps.

05:15:57.900 --> 05:16:00.900
So many triple kills, so many, so many...

05:16:00.900 --> 05:16:05.900
You wanted the ace, you wanted the ace in that round just to cap off an amazing performance.

05:16:05.900 --> 05:16:12.900
Probably look at his reaction, I mean, he's really becoming the main character of that roster, I think it was hard for him to really full this shine

05:16:12.900 --> 05:16:22.900
when you already had Jume that was achieving similar statistics, and now that player that is beyond everyone else, that is one in a lifetime player,

05:16:22.900 --> 05:16:29.900
is not on the same roster, he's been given better roles, he's also been given more space, and he's also been forced to step up

05:16:29.900 --> 05:16:33.900
because you don't have that player getting multi kills anymore, he needs to be that one.

05:16:33.900 --> 05:16:38.800
if you look at the series of Rome 39 kills he was one kill shot of 40 kills

05:16:38.800 --> 05:16:45.460
Jack out of three maps yeah that's just phenomenal that's what you want from

05:16:45.460 --> 05:16:49.900
your frontline player that's what you want from a player to be that consistent

05:16:49.900 --> 05:16:55.980
in the best of three the second best has 22 kills yeah it's crazy it's

05:16:55.980 --> 05:17:00.540
absolutely crazy but when you're in and let's be fair it's a secret they

05:17:00.540 --> 05:17:06.320
played really if we're gonna be honest well for a map and a half yeah when

05:17:06.320 --> 05:17:09.800
you're in those types of best of freeze when you're facing not going to your

05:17:09.800 --> 05:17:15.120
first event in a long time a long time over two years you need some of this

05:17:15.120 --> 05:17:17.920
step up to just drag you through it now of course it was a team from the

05:17:17.920 --> 05:17:21.320
special on bank it was really really good but no one was the one that was

05:17:21.320 --> 05:17:25.320
the driving force behind that step up it's just that when I look at the map

05:17:25.320 --> 05:17:29.160
scores. I can't help but feel bad for Fnatic. I mean it's...

05:17:29.160 --> 05:17:30.920
They tried that well. Yeah, but yeah.

05:17:30.920 --> 05:17:36.440
They got 40 kills. Yeah, and they got the first map. They look really good in the first half of

05:17:36.440 --> 05:17:41.080
Shelly, or the first quarter of Shelly. Oh no, no, no, no. Again, we're looking at a day of the life

05:17:41.720 --> 05:17:44.840
in the life of Fnatic or Fnatic Fence, and then again it just...

05:17:45.800 --> 05:17:49.800
It really felt GG after Shelly. It really did feel GG after Shelly, and that is

05:17:49.800 --> 05:17:53.800
completely by the place alone. I feel like Fnatic really messed themselves up. There was

05:17:53.800 --> 05:17:57.160
a couple of rounds on Shelly

05:17:58.360 --> 05:18:05.160
Yeah, it's hard to say because they've had to that stage and up until the start of this game where they've not looked great

05:18:05.160 --> 05:18:10.260
Especially in those late rounds the crunch time the crunch points then they showed us la and again

05:18:10.260 --> 05:18:14.720
It's fantastic. It's in a way kind of similar shippers. There can be a team that they can chose that

05:18:14.720 --> 05:18:17.040
They went and dominated a team that was just in the SFI final

05:18:17.160 --> 05:18:22.000
But it was only for one map which isn't good enough inside of a whole you know a whole stage

05:18:22.000 --> 05:18:26.000
map pool, depth being exposed, all these kinds of things are the best of three.

05:18:26.000 --> 05:18:30.000
Leifron Composer as well, some players clearly missing the mark, Lid Virial,

05:18:30.000 --> 05:18:33.000
like I think all of the two recruits that we highlighted before the match,

05:18:33.000 --> 05:18:38.000
however, and the chat needed to step up, one stepped up, dropped 40 kills, the other struggled.

05:18:38.000 --> 05:18:42.000
He's playing a rough role to be fair, he's playing Monty, he's playing the anchor at the same time.

05:18:42.000 --> 05:18:46.000
I think that's new as well. I think over the way some of the group stage went,

05:18:46.000 --> 05:18:50.000
I think they've kind of put him on the shields, and he had a couple of bad shield moments

05:18:50.000 --> 05:18:53.440
what I've said inside of particular Chalet as well, when he was playing the Blackbeard in the Monty.

05:18:53.440 --> 05:18:57.120
Just try and force him to, you know, force a team play around him.

05:18:58.000 --> 05:19:01.280
But that, it kind of speaks to me that they made us a lot more trust in him in that game,

05:19:01.280 --> 05:19:06.960
if I'm being brutally honest though. So yeah, I don't know. I don't know what the solution is for Fnatic.

05:19:07.600 --> 05:19:12.400
That's a question that they will have to find an answer to in this upcoming time before Stage 1 starts.

05:19:12.400 --> 05:19:16.320
But before we get there, we can take a look at our updated brackets and look at the

05:19:16.320 --> 05:19:20.740
a game. We're going to be

05:19:21.860 --> 05:19:24.040
lower brackets of how it's gone

05:19:24.040 --> 05:19:25.940
out so far how it's turned out

05:19:25.940 --> 05:19:28.140
so far today. We say goodbye to

05:19:28.140 --> 05:19:29.980
phonetic and we say goodbye to

05:19:29.980 --> 05:19:32.380
rebels or two losers from today.

05:19:32.380 --> 05:19:34.140
That means that secrets and

05:19:34.140 --> 05:19:35.780
shifters move on and mind you

05:19:35.780 --> 05:19:36.940
the losers from match five and

05:19:36.940 --> 05:19:38.220
six will drop down to the

05:19:38.220 --> 05:19:39.620
lower bracket as well. But

05:19:39.620 --> 05:19:40.820
that's where the bracket

05:19:40.820 --> 05:19:43.180
flips right so secretly playing

05:19:43.180 --> 05:19:44.780
against the loser of Falcons

05:19:44.780 --> 05:19:51.200
like either way, you've put in such a show today and then looking at the opponent that'll drop down tomorrow is not going to be easy.

05:19:51.200 --> 05:19:57.820
It's formidable opponents across the board. I think realistically, G2 Falcons VP look heading away the best three teams in the ML.

05:19:57.820 --> 05:20:05.980
You obviously, two of them probably will qualify. But even to its mind, should they fall to G2, which isn't a given by the, but should they fall to G2?

05:20:06.340 --> 05:20:14.140
They're a tricky proposition to anybody in this league, just because of how unique they are as well. So, you know, realistically, we're in for some bangers tomorrow and Friday.

05:20:14.140 --> 05:20:18.460
And the top truth is that if you looked on paper at EML before the stage started,

05:20:18.460 --> 05:20:22.300
you would have said that the top four would have been secret Falcons G2 and VP.

05:20:22.940 --> 05:20:28.460
And in the current IO, you know that they cannot all four qualify because one will have to full.

05:20:28.460 --> 05:20:31.500
Falcons, VP or secret, one will miss, so like city.

05:20:31.500 --> 05:20:31.980
Yes.

05:20:31.980 --> 05:20:33.740
Because of the way the bracket works.

05:20:33.740 --> 05:20:35.820
And that's down to secret coming forth.

05:20:35.820 --> 05:20:36.300
Exactly.

05:20:36.300 --> 05:20:36.700
Yeah.

05:20:36.700 --> 05:20:41.420
And so that basically triggers the whole chain reaction of like one of these three big names

05:20:41.420 --> 05:20:47.020
are going to miss it despite being quite good at this in the in giga. But that means one of

05:20:47.020 --> 05:20:52.300
shifters G2 and two of shifters G2 and Twisted Minds are going to go to the Fault Lake, which is a

05:20:52.300 --> 05:20:56.700
great story for other shifters of Twisted Minds who were probably coming to the stage considered

05:20:56.700 --> 05:21:00.060
outside on the top four. One of them will go. Yeah, but that's a good thing, right? When the

05:21:00.060 --> 05:21:03.260
bracket gets really difficult on one side, it's opportunities on the other side. It's a

05:21:03.260 --> 05:21:07.260
really kind of profit off of what's going on there and the matchups that you might be given

05:21:07.260 --> 05:21:11.180
in that situation. If you did have a good look at our schedule for tomorrow, you noticed

05:21:11.180 --> 05:21:16.060
that we have a bit of a busy day going on tomorrow, not two, but three best of threes in total. And for

05:21:16.060 --> 05:21:19.980
that reason, we're starting one hour earlier as well. And so if you want to make sure that you

05:21:19.980 --> 05:21:25.260
do not miss all the action tomorrow in the upper bracket of the email playoffs, make sure to tune

05:21:25.260 --> 05:21:30.220
in at 5pm CEST for now. We'd like to thank you so much for watching. It's been a great pleasure

05:21:30.220 --> 05:21:34.620
to have you with us here in the evening and we'd hope to see you again tomorrow. 5pm CEST.

05:21:34.620 --> 05:21:36.620
Have a good rest of your night.

05:22:04.620 --> 05:22:11.620
I'ma keep it going, I'ma keep it going, I'ma keep it going, so hold on now!
