It's been up for grabs 10:36.340 --> 10:43.060 in this region. I think what we've seen so far is there's probably not a true dominant team that 10:43.060 --> 10:47.460 we can look at. In Asia, you've got Wavevo and also you've got Enterprise. Yeah, I think that's 10:47.460 --> 10:49.460 that's only the case. That 10:49.460 --> 10:51.460 being said, they're Jake. I 10:51.460 --> 10:53.460 think we might walk away from 10:53.460 --> 10:55.460 today with an answer. Potentially 10:55.460 --> 10:57.460 a lot of that does hinge though 10:57.460 --> 10:59.460 on how CG play today if they can 10:59.460 --> 11:01.460 assert themselves as the top team. 11:01.460 --> 11:03.460 Yeah, I think CG probably the team 11:03.460 --> 11:05.460 that's maybe in the soft position, 11:05.460 --> 11:07.460 but they're not a hard lock by any 11:07.460 --> 11:09.460 means. Of course, last night we had 11:09.460 --> 11:11.460 some eml action and certainly some 11:11.460 --> 11:13.460 big results that went down there as 11:13.460 --> 11:15.460 well, Gus. Yeah, a couple of 11:15.460 --> 11:22.960 in that last playday at G2, marching forward to their spot at the Salt Lake City Major, taking down Twisted Minds. 11:22.960 --> 11:29.960 And Virtus Pro, surprisingly, I think for me that stands out as being a little bit of a shock result, a clean 2-0 for them. 11:29.960 --> 11:33.960 And it seemingly feels like the new look G2 is better than ever. 11:33.960 --> 11:39.460 It means for secret Falcons, win and you're in, lose and you're out. 11:39.460 --> 11:43.960 The new look Falcons, of course, with June losing to Virtus Pro 2-0. 11:43.960 --> 11:49.600 I thought the tail end of that series before I went to bed and Jeff that is probably looking pretty strong 11:49.600 --> 11:55.520 But obviously G2 getting the better of them shifters twisted mines will battle it out for that last spot 11:55.520 --> 11:58.020 Which would be really good for twisted mines to see them 11:59.400 --> 12:02.600 Representing the men a portion of the ML getting back on the main stage 12:03.720 --> 12:09.440 Yeah, it would be really cool to see them have that run of form and well, I honestly I'm looking at that other game 12:09.440 --> 12:15.040 I'm hoping that Falcons can make it through. I think it has a lot to prove at an even higher level and so yeah 12:15.040 --> 12:17.040 You know shaping up quite interesting 12:17.200 --> 12:20.880 And of course the Salt Lake City Major probably not too far away at this point 12:20.880 --> 12:27.000 It feels like it's creeping up on a standby day, especially as we get towards the end of the kickoff and with that 12:27.000 --> 12:33.720 It means that these teams that miss out now around this week and next week have a bit of time off before stage 12:33.720 --> 12:36.880 Well, I like I'll have a bit of a break and look to read jig 12:36.880 --> 12:40.960 and it's the best time probably for those teams to have a break, because you're not going to have 12:40.960 --> 12:46.880 those roster shuffle mania moments that you saw after SI, so that'll be the time for the teams 12:46.880 --> 12:52.000 to sort of recalibrate their backs to the drone board prepare for stage one. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, 12:52.000 --> 12:56.880 we often see teams develop over this kind of period pretty rapidly, and so heading into, 12:57.680 --> 13:02.160 obviously, the major, but then beyond that with stage one, we could see things continue to shift 13:02.160 --> 13:06.240 around. A lot of the other regions, especially outside the APL sub regions, are very, very 13:06.240 --> 13:12.480 competitive towards the very top. Let's go to our impact North Bracket that we've got for today 13:12.480 --> 13:17.360 and where we stand heading into this week's action of week four, Kinitropes CIG in the upper 13:17.360 --> 13:21.840 final. That will be played today to determine who will book their place in the grand final. Of 13:21.840 --> 13:25.440 course, under the one spot, you've got to win the grand final. Firstly, you've got to get in there. 13:25.440 --> 13:31.920 D-plus help us out of foe in the quarter final. We will get that too. And that's a big match for a 13:31.920 --> 13:37.420 a D plus Kia roster that certainly has aspirations to make major scars will await the winner 13:37.420 --> 13:40.540 on that. So we're set for some really big games today, Gus. 13:40.540 --> 13:44.740 Yeah, absolutely. Again, that KineTrap CAG match sandwiched in the middle, the up or 13:44.740 --> 13:50.940 final on offer today. I'm looking at it at that as an opportunity potentially for CAG 13:50.940 --> 13:55.860 to really concrete themselves and solidify themselves as top team in the region. Best 13:55.860 --> 13:59.780 shot to take the major slot. But I tell you what, there's still a very strong chance 13:59.780 --> 14:05.180 to be very, very competitive in that matchup. If it flips the other way, then this bracket 14:05.180 --> 14:10.460 is going to be in absolute shambles, and that one and only slot will be so, so competitive. 14:10.460 --> 14:17.540 Of course, for those unfamiliar, help us out of the remnants of the XPSG Talon roster. 14:17.540 --> 14:21.740 So, you know, the teams that we have left, I think in APAC North by this point are the 14:21.740 --> 14:26.060 teams we expected to be here at this point, guys. I don't think there's really been any 14:26.060 --> 14:33.260 surprise packets, maybe Kynotrop being in that up of bracket final considering they actually took 14:33.260 --> 14:39.020 down Helbus being XPSG talent and then took down Skars, both of those two ones though. So it says 14:39.020 --> 14:44.940 to me there's not a big gap when it comes to Kynotrop and maybe the others, whereas CAG their 14:44.940 --> 14:53.260 opponent slated today, 2-0 and then 2-0 against E-Blas and on top of that it was a 7172. As we 14:53.260 --> 14:57.260 said, I think CIG is certainly leading the pack right now, but as we know with CIG, they're 14:57.260 --> 15:02.060 not always the team that you want to rely on. Let's be honest. We'll go to our matchup 15:02.060 --> 15:08.380 floor today though that begins. It is D plus care and help us LFO. The D plus care though, 15:08.380 --> 15:12.860 look, made it made a slight change. They bring music in, bullet leaves the team, but the 15:12.860 --> 15:18.340 same core for beyond that just haven't really hit the same strides as that we saw from them 15:18.340 --> 15:19.340 from last year. 15:19.340 --> 15:25.180 Yeah, not yet. I still think there's a warden which they can make a strong run through the 15:25.180 --> 15:30.060 level bracket. They started off particularly V2-0 victory over Can You Be My Enemy. That 15:30.060 --> 15:34.020 was an expected result. I think they'll obviously be quite disappointed in that CIG match. I'm 15:34.020 --> 15:38.660 not only did they fail to take a map, but they were struggling to win rounds over the 15:38.660 --> 15:43.300 course of both lair and border. They only accumulated a total of three rounds and we 15:43.300 --> 15:47.540 casted this game and they just, nothing went their way. It was one of those instances where 15:47.540 --> 15:50.320 COD were playing very very well and shutting down a lot of the playmaking 15:50.320 --> 15:54.560 pretend you're from D plus there was also just an element of it just wasn't 15:54.560 --> 15:57.740 their day and that can sometimes happen even in a best of three it's very 15:57.740 --> 16:01.460 difficult to recover when it slips out of your grasp as quickly as it did in 16:01.460 --> 16:05.660 this series and so I walked away from that a little disappointed on D plus's 16:05.660 --> 16:10.500 behalf but not I wasn't too concerned I still think that their potential was 16:10.500 --> 16:13.700 obviously way higher than what we saw just by the server I'm hoping that that 16:13.700 --> 16:17.380 was kind of just a one-off in isolation and they can lock back in in this 16:17.380 --> 16:21.300 level bracket and then I guess potentially go on to maybe rematch them for a spot at the major. 16:21.300 --> 16:24.900 That would be a really cool storyline if D-Post aren't able to make that run back 16:25.540 --> 16:31.460 and then take down COG in response. But yeah, they definitely need to step up their polish compared 16:31.460 --> 16:37.060 to their last outing because it was far below their standard. Now their opponents for today help us 16:37.060 --> 16:42.740 Alepho. They lost their opening match against Kiritrope in a 2-1 where they got pre-smashed 16:42.740 --> 16:48.280 actually on their two map losses seven three seven two and one when they got was fortress in an eight seven 16:48.420 --> 16:53.280 So I haven't really shone a lot in that but they did take down the new look fear at seven four seven five in a win 16:53.280 --> 16:58.100 I'm not long bracket to kick start their gauntlet run so they can take some form into this 16:58.100 --> 17:01.260 But it's been well a hot minute since we've seen them in fact 17:01.260 --> 17:06.560 It's been two weeks guys since we've seen this roster since they're win against fear X 17:06.660 --> 17:10.380 They've had two weeks off to sort of recalibrate a little bit 17:10.380 --> 17:13.780 It's almost like a mini bootcamp within the kickoff itself. 17:13.780 --> 17:17.380 It'll be their last opportunity to have such an extended break. 17:17.380 --> 17:20.380 Win or lose today, well, I mean, I technically, if they lose, 17:20.380 --> 17:23.460 they'll have a very exciting race if they win. 17:23.460 --> 17:25.700 If they wish, it's going to be all systems go. 17:25.700 --> 17:27.580 And certainly for today, because the winner of this 17:27.580 --> 17:31.420 will have to play the two Vesta Threes today alone. 17:31.420 --> 17:34.260 Is that a benefit then for them that they've had two weeks off? 17:34.260 --> 17:36.420 They're now going to look at the good and the bad 17:36.420 --> 17:39.940 and be mentally sharp and ready to go for what could be a long day 17:39.940 --> 17:42.140 if they aren't to beat D plus? 17:42.140 --> 17:44.060 It's so tricky to say. 17:44.060 --> 17:45.260 Given their team dynamic, 17:45.260 --> 17:47.740 I think I would probably actually lean into more, 17:47.740 --> 17:48.580 maybe more Rikindo. 17:48.580 --> 17:49.700 I feel like they're definitely the kind of team 17:49.700 --> 17:50.540 where if they're in form, 17:50.540 --> 17:51.620 they just want to play their games, 17:51.620 --> 17:54.220 get out there and not go cold. 17:55.020 --> 17:56.940 But if they haven't taken a more strategic angle, 17:56.940 --> 17:58.620 then obviously I'd be able to sit back and watch. 17:58.620 --> 18:01.860 I'm sure we'll aid in their preparations for today. 18:01.860 --> 18:03.380 You look at their numbers across the board 18:03.380 --> 18:05.020 and again, limited data set pool, 18:05.020 --> 18:05.860 but they're attacking winner. 18:05.860 --> 18:08.300 It's actually been relatively strong at 58% 18:08.300 --> 18:09.660 that's second in the league. 18:09.660 --> 18:12.860 And in terms of defense, again, they're up there at third. 18:12.860 --> 18:15.860 So I don't know if they're really good enough 18:15.860 --> 18:19.940 to take that next step to make it to the Salt Lake Major, 18:19.940 --> 18:22.740 the Salt Lake City Major, but they're not that far behind. 18:22.740 --> 18:24.260 And so maybe over the last couple of weeks, 18:24.260 --> 18:27.140 they've been up a tweak enough to find that edge. 18:27.140 --> 18:29.420 Well, we've got a special pre-match interview 18:29.420 --> 18:32.580 with someone who's done it all quite literally in siege. 18:32.580 --> 18:34.420 PJ, hey, welcome on in. 18:34.420 --> 18:35.740 You've been a cast, you've been a coach, 18:35.740 --> 18:38.540 you've been an analyst, you've retired, you've come back. 18:38.540 --> 18:40.060 You quite literally have done it all. 18:40.060 --> 18:40.900 Welcome in. 18:40.900 --> 18:41.780 It's good to have you here. 18:41.780 --> 18:44.460 How are you traveling these days? 18:45.380 --> 18:46.500 Hello, Genex and Goss. 18:46.500 --> 18:48.500 Thank you for being here. 18:48.500 --> 18:52.140 And yeah, I mean, the last year 18:52.140 --> 18:54.260 with the working with the Brazilian guy was amazing. 18:54.260 --> 18:59.100 And I'm also happy to be a commentator and streamers 18:59.100 --> 19:01.140 as a Korean sees, right? 19:01.140 --> 19:03.340 So yeah, I'm happy these days. 19:04.500 --> 19:05.340 Cool. 19:05.340 --> 19:06.900 It's good to hear that you're happy 19:06.900 --> 19:08.500 and happy to have you in here. 19:08.500 --> 19:21.500 What I wanted to ask you first up was sort of the Korean scene in general, it's been a talking point, certainly across APL, but even from those outside that predominantly watch NAL, EML, SAL, etc. 19:21.500 --> 19:30.500 When we get to the international events, I think the Korean teams that we've been able to see internationally haven't been able to stack up the region itself seems like it's lacking players. 19:30.500 --> 19:34.500 How do you view the region at the moment and where it sits? 19:34.500 --> 19:43.560 As you said, right before the lack of the player pool is the biggest problem in Korean 19:43.560 --> 19:50.020 seas, and plus most of the Korean grown men have to go to the military service. 19:50.020 --> 19:55.780 So they think about the future of their own life, like what if we lost some international 19:55.780 --> 19:56.780 matches? 19:56.780 --> 20:02.180 I have to go to the military service before I made up Gray's career, the opportunity 20:02.180 --> 20:03.660 to get a new team. 20:03.660 --> 20:07.460 So they always have a lot of things about their lives. 20:07.460 --> 20:11.140 I think that's a matter of like lack of experience 20:11.140 --> 20:14.900 or like they're getting a great, making a Korean siege. 20:14.900 --> 20:16.980 So like in real life, 20:16.980 --> 20:20.900 problem affects the gaming career, in my opinion. 20:22.300 --> 20:23.140 Yeah, for sure. 20:23.140 --> 20:24.620 PJ H, thank you for joining us. 20:24.620 --> 20:28.140 I'd love to get your insights on obviously D plus KIA. 20:28.140 --> 20:30.340 What was your experience like peraching them? 20:30.340 --> 20:32.980 And maybe what were some of the challenges that you faced 20:32.980 --> 20:35.740 and having a Brazilian team integrate into APL. 20:37.220 --> 20:40.660 Like first, I was an analyst, not a coach. 20:40.660 --> 20:44.340 So basically, Meet, Meet has a lot of things 20:44.340 --> 20:46.300 in throughout the last year. 20:46.300 --> 20:49.780 Like he was the IGL, he was playing coach. 20:49.780 --> 20:53.820 He made some great strategy, he watched all the replays. 20:53.820 --> 20:58.660 So like first, like I want to say he's a great mentor. 20:58.660 --> 21:02.300 I had a lot of things from him, not only in games, 21:02.300 --> 21:06.620 but also out of the games, such as mindset, motivation, 21:08.020 --> 21:10.700 yes, and working with the boys was amazing. 21:10.700 --> 21:13.980 Like when I talked about small detail ideas, 21:13.980 --> 21:17.180 they immediately accepted and just played right away, 21:17.180 --> 21:18.300 right throughout the screen. 21:18.300 --> 21:21.740 So it was fun to watch and fun to work with them. 21:23.300 --> 21:25.300 I do wanna ask, obviously, 21:25.300 --> 21:27.600 you'll always have an eye on the Korean teams 21:27.600 --> 21:29.660 in terms of the Korean players. 21:29.660 --> 21:32.060 When it comes to help us LFO, 21:32.060 --> 21:37.460 being the ex-PSU talent roster, they're the last Korean team left that has a chance to make the major. 21:37.460 --> 21:41.060 How do you view that roster and where they're at at the moment on their journey? 21:42.500 --> 21:48.820 Oh, like first, like finding organization is the biggest problem for them, right? 21:48.820 --> 21:52.700 So I think they can find all the organization these lists. 21:52.700 --> 21:59.060 So they are potential players, like fully experienced, like Amy, Hapho, Eunseong, Ryder, Soja. 21:59.060 --> 22:01.340 All the they are the Korean superstars. 22:01.340 --> 22:07.300 So, I mean, finding organization for the win, for the salary, you know? 22:08.140 --> 22:09.380 So I think they can manage it. 22:09.860 --> 22:11.260 Also, Dongguk is a great step. 22:13.420 --> 22:18.300 Obviously, one of these two teams is going to go on and play stars later today. 22:18.300 --> 22:19.620 How do you view that matchup? 22:19.620 --> 22:23.540 Do you think stars are the favorite or could one of these two teams take them down? 22:24.980 --> 22:28.820 First, I want to say about the previous DK versus CH in match. 22:28.820 --> 22:31.940 Like the reason why DK lost was like, 22:31.940 --> 22:35.300 CHE sniped their strategy so well. 22:35.300 --> 22:39.620 So in the terms of the high competitive matches, 22:39.620 --> 22:41.380 such as like the international matches 22:41.380 --> 22:44.820 or like the greatest team strong against strongest team 22:44.820 --> 22:49.180 matches, you have to prep well about their opponent strategy. 22:49.180 --> 22:54.020 So DK repeat their same strategy as SI. 22:54.020 --> 22:55.580 So like the layer, 22:55.580 --> 23:06.580 Every attack strategy was like made by me and Mithy, so the CAG already knew their attacking positions, movement, strategy, operator pool, everything. 23:06.580 --> 23:20.580 So, in terms of that, when you have to prepare in the Scarge match, you have to watch all the replays of the Scarge with previous matches, everything, drone work, drone position, operator combination, everything. 23:20.580 --> 23:23.580 So, you need to play well and then play well. 23:23.580 --> 23:32.220 it's been fantastic to have you on and kind of get your insights into the region, into the teams. 23:32.220 --> 23:36.220 Is there anything that you want to say I guess while we have you here and before we let you go? 23:38.060 --> 23:48.300 Oh I mean I want to say like every Korean players have a struggling their own lives 23:48.300 --> 23:58.300 So everyone is really doing hard work, not only for the players, but also staffs. 23:58.300 --> 24:03.300 So I want you guys to know they're really hardworking in these days. 24:03.300 --> 24:04.300 Yeah, that's it. 24:04.300 --> 24:06.300 Well, we appreciate that, PJ. 24:06.300 --> 24:10.300 Thank you so much for coming on, having a chat with us and indeed the Korean region. 24:10.300 --> 24:11.300 Always hardworking. 24:11.300 --> 24:16.300 Moving on, of course, the match not too far away from start in Korea's last hope. 24:16.300 --> 24:22.220 last hope. Thank you again to PJ. It's the Korean roster versus the Korean organization, 24:22.220 --> 24:26.540 really. You know, you've got the players versus an org that has Brazilians. One of them will play 24:26.540 --> 24:32.140 stars later today. The other, while their time is done. Yeah, it's a big moment for the region. 24:32.140 --> 24:39.020 It's such a brutal position to now find themselves in with only one major slot on the line. I think 24:39.020 --> 24:44.700 that I tend to agree with the sentiment that provided the preparation has been good enough, 24:44.700 --> 24:49.420 either of these two teams can then go on and beat Scars. I think there's weakness to be exploited there, 24:49.420 --> 24:52.860 and so for one of these two teams, it's going to be a big day potentially. 24:53.740 --> 24:58.860 Yeah, certainly will be. And I will say, I think whoever wins this is certainly a chance against 24:58.860 --> 25:04.460 Scars. I mean, Scars themselves as a roster haven't really been that notable in kind of 25:04.460 --> 25:08.940 smashing their opponents. They're always a little bit gettable. They can have lapses themselves. 25:08.940 --> 25:13.420 And we saw that in the loss against Keynetra where they won the first map and then just kind of went 25:13.420 --> 25:18.620 to sleep and just allowed KineTrope to run all over them in the next two maps. And so they're not 25:18.620 --> 25:22.860 really exactly coming into this with hot form either. They sit and they wait and they're not sure. 25:22.860 --> 25:29.180 And what we've seen so far is you can have teams that win this series that then just get that 25:29.180 --> 25:34.700 motivation. And we saw it as well. I think it was in OCE where the team won and then won again. 25:35.580 --> 25:39.580 Obviously there's been a lot of instances of that actually in the Six Invitational for instance 25:39.580 --> 25:45.380 So the last couple of years where teams have had to play multiple best of threes in a given day and we had what was it? 25:45.380 --> 25:49.900 The warm-up or fatigue and a lot of the time the warm-up does actually end up working out 25:49.900 --> 25:53.700 I think when we spoke to machine he even kind of attributed that and said yeah 25:53.700 --> 25:57.900 Why we just kind of felt like warmed up and and took the momentum into the next series 25:58.620 --> 26:04.660 Yeah, again, I think as a provider you've done the correct groundwork and respected your opponents enough 26:04.660 --> 26:09.220 and if you have gone that step further like EJ was kind of alluding to and really detailing 26:09.220 --> 26:12.940 out a lot of the strategy and being ready, maybe that's maybe that actually is the more 26:12.940 --> 26:18.740 favorite approach. I know there's kind of been a more self-centered approach from a lot of 26:18.740 --> 26:23.020 teams in recent years where they mainly focus on themselves and then play reactivity, but 26:23.020 --> 26:27.140 I don't mind the idea of also throwing some good solid prep work and it just aids you 26:27.140 --> 26:30.220 and propels you forward and probably gives you a bit more confidence that you have a stronger 26:30.220 --> 26:35.180 read on your point and then you can worry about adjusting later. So yeah, in terms of 26:35.180 --> 26:39.340 the discussion as to hindering or favoring, if you have to play the backpack series or 26:39.340 --> 26:43.300 not, the caveat will be being the length of the first series, right? I think that is up 26:43.300 --> 26:47.300 being a massive, cruelling, three-mapper. You're really having to expend a lot of energy and 26:47.300 --> 26:51.140 using your brain. Well, I can't help but feel that probably does give you, especially if 26:51.140 --> 26:55.940 the second series is prolonged, but I don't know, both of these days I'll probably want 26:55.940 --> 27:00.020 to rush to this first one quickly. Unfortunately though, I don't really see that happening. 27:00.020 --> 27:03.380 I think it's going to be a bit of a grind as both teams get a feel for one another. 27:04.260 --> 27:10.860 Let's go to the Vitos for the series and see which maps will be played out in a door die elimination game. 27:11.300 --> 27:18.020 The first map will be left, all that is Shallay if required, Bank the Decider. 27:18.460 --> 27:19.780 Early thoughts on this one guys. 27:21.100 --> 27:27.060 Yeah, having a look at in terms of like preferences over the last couple of months for both of these two teams. 27:27.060 --> 27:33.580 Up first, the selection of Hellboss LFO is actually quite intriguing given that there's 27:33.580 --> 27:37.820 not much history on this specific roster, if you tap into PSG, I'm sure there's some 27:37.820 --> 27:42.860 playtime in there, but on the flip side, actually, D plus, strong record, but low preference, 27:42.860 --> 27:46.660 so they don't typically want to go to this map all too often, but they've had some strong 27:46.660 --> 27:51.300 wins here and a 5-1 record overall, so it would be very, very interesting to see how 27:51.300 --> 27:53.260 they're able to translate that into the server. 27:53.260 --> 27:59.220 Shallay, the selection of D-Post up next, very strong preference map for them. Not a ton of play time 27:59.220 --> 28:04.960 and in fact they haven't touched it recently. Their last play was against Wave-O two months ago. 28:04.960 --> 28:09.660 They lost a couple of days or a week prior to that at 6th invitation. 28:09.660 --> 28:13.560 They actually did take down Shopify Rebellion 7-1. 28:13.560 --> 28:17.700 So that one's a little bit more up to me here for me, but should still be very strong for D-Post. 28:17.700 --> 28:20.260 And then if required, thank the decider. 28:20.260 --> 28:23.980 number one preference for D plus again we put a caveat on the four and all the 28:23.980 --> 28:27.180 preferences because some of us are a little wonky teams frequently banned 28:27.180 --> 28:32.820 against them and so hapus LFO have left it through who again have had it banned 28:32.820 --> 28:36.820 against them once very limited in terms of the data pool for this team in this 28:36.820 --> 28:41.060 new addition so I think it sets us up for a pretty exciting series large 28:41.060 --> 28:46.380 maps particularly there and bank and so that prep work and the depth of that 28:46.380 --> 28:49.820 That may be brought into the spotlight for this matchup. 28:49.820 --> 28:56.300 It does also mean this will be the third series straight for D-plus kit, where Lair is the 28:56.300 --> 29:01.700 opening map, but this time it's been picked by their opponent. 29:01.700 --> 29:07.260 And I guess that's kind of where it does kind of strike me as a confusing selection by Help 29:07.260 --> 29:09.020 or Salafo. 29:09.020 --> 29:13.020 Maybe they're looking at it in a short-sightedness approach, where CHE just completely demolished 29:13.020 --> 29:14.020 them, 7-1. 29:14.020 --> 29:18.980 we spoke to PJ, you know, he's kind of talking about the fact that CIG were able to put the 29:18.980 --> 29:25.140 time in and see what D-plus like to do on Lair and use their strategies against them to help 29:25.140 --> 29:31.220 us out of the foe having two weeks off. And I'm assuming, hoping, put the work in to see 29:31.220 --> 29:35.860 how D-plus here like to play on these sort of maps, or maybe Lair is something they'll feel 29:35.860 --> 29:40.420 comfortable to try and take into account, but D-plus did win this 7-2 back on the opening play 29:40.420 --> 29:42.420 day. We go to it regardless. 29:42.420 --> 29:44.420 For the past year, it's familiar territory. 29:44.420 --> 29:46.420 It's rare once again to kick start a series. 29:46.420 --> 29:51.420 In both of those maps, it was a seven to seven one 29:51.420 --> 29:54.420 result. So like demolition job one way or the other 29:54.420 --> 29:57.420 for the past year, big game, big elimination match. 29:57.420 --> 30:01.420 It's the last remaining Korean roster team versus 30:01.420 --> 30:04.420 the last remaining Korea organization. 30:04.420 --> 30:07.420 Now let's jump in. 30:07.420 --> 30:11.660 plus Kia will start on the comfort of defense. 30:11.660 --> 30:14.020 And they'll be looking to establish an early advantage 30:14.020 --> 30:15.980 in this one. 30:15.980 --> 30:17.180 I think the question will be, 30:17.180 --> 30:19.700 have the Hupasalafo done their homework? 30:19.700 --> 30:21.300 You would only be picking this map 30:21.300 --> 30:24.220 if you have picked apart that VOD, surely. 30:24.220 --> 30:26.620 They have scraped through that replay file 30:26.620 --> 30:28.820 and found absolutely every key piece of information 30:28.820 --> 30:31.060 that they need to feel confident. 30:31.060 --> 30:32.860 And so then for D plus Kia themselves 30:32.860 --> 30:34.380 to have let it through the video, 30:34.380 --> 30:37.560 especially given how the CIG matchup did play out, 30:38.740 --> 30:39.980 probably make a fair assumption 30:39.980 --> 30:41.560 that they've looked to adjust a couple of things 30:41.560 --> 30:45.120 in the background as well as we jump into the band phase 30:45.120 --> 30:49.040 or the conclusion of it, at least Monty Grimm banded Azami. 30:51.900 --> 30:53.860 I mean, the only thoughts for me as D-Plots, 30:53.860 --> 30:57.260 probably the team that should be winning this series, 30:57.260 --> 30:59.460 but that's not to take away anything from Helper Salafo. 30:59.460 --> 31:02.420 What we've seen, I think in terms of peak gameplay 31:02.420 --> 31:07.420 from Helper Salafo, probably maybe back in the Fabian era, 31:07.580 --> 31:10.060 is they do have the capabilities, 31:10.060 --> 31:11.940 they do have the quality. 31:11.940 --> 31:14.300 It's just all about can they get to click on the right day, 31:14.300 --> 31:17.140 the right moments, win the big plays, 31:17.140 --> 31:18.940 make the best plays in the smart plays. 31:18.940 --> 31:22.140 And at times they can pick one or two of those categories, 31:22.140 --> 31:25.020 but then just fall apart in a lot of the other ones. 31:25.020 --> 31:26.580 They can make a sick mechanical play 31:26.580 --> 31:28.220 and then just do something very silly. 31:28.220 --> 31:29.980 Or they can make the right strategical play, 31:29.980 --> 31:31.620 but don't hit the right shots. 31:31.620 --> 31:48.020 And that's the beauty of Siege is that there are so many different elements and so many different layers that go into the game where the best teams can usually pretty much cover all elements and the best and the worst teams will usually do none of them and then it's just all about figuring out in the middle. 31:48.020 --> 31:52.840 But for D-plus here, I think, again, at their best, they can cover a lot of those categories 31:52.840 --> 31:56.600 and should be more consistent in that against Helper-Sell-A-Foe. 31:56.600 --> 32:00.720 They get to start on the defense as well, which I think is going to set them up nicely. 32:00.720 --> 32:06.160 We haven't really seen, probably, at least when it comes to Lair, D-plus, well, they 32:06.160 --> 32:12.120 got the five attacking rounds in the opening, but then we go back to the match against CIG 32:12.120 --> 32:14.840 and they just could not break through CIG's defensive wall. 32:14.840 --> 32:19.360 It was a 5-1 half and I think I'm envisioning deep plus we'll do something similar here in this half 32:19.360 --> 32:22.560 I think this would be rather defend decided. I don't know if help a cell of foe 32:22.640 --> 32:26.120 How the attack quality to break down a lot of these fancy grounds 32:27.120 --> 32:30.040 Yeah, man, I definitely should have I could said 32:31.360 --> 32:36.400 But as a highlight before actually then I can limited off but they're attacking win rates if I don't kick off 32:36.400 --> 32:41.480 It's number two. So definitely not as bad as you's gonna buy with this. I'll say sometimes t to the like 32:41.480 --> 32:48.280 40% dish at times and it was certainly a killer's heel for them. Maybe that's 32:48.280 --> 32:51.760 something that they've been able to chip away at and we'll see that translate 32:51.760 --> 32:57.280 into this particular game. Right down below on the day more students might 32:57.280 --> 33:01.120 targets available and in the meantime Ops and Demers control for the rest of the 33:01.120 --> 33:05.600 attack but it's momentary. Muzie, long-angle, clean headshot, first pick 33:05.600 --> 33:14.080 it goes the way of the plus key up. No response from the plus L or foe. It's also the Karli 33:14.080 --> 33:17.560 of the board. So some of these longer lines of sight difficult to contest and any ability 33:17.560 --> 33:23.920 to clear the util with Lance is now also being taken off the board. It's a big stack of 33:23.920 --> 33:26.960 lobby at the moment from the attack. 33:26.960 --> 33:33.360 Now, isn't the Carly at this point down a player? 33:33.360 --> 33:36.680 You haven't got the mezz control that you would like, only just now Demik can maybe 33:36.680 --> 33:38.200 get in there. 33:38.200 --> 33:40.400 Take that space. 33:40.400 --> 33:42.840 Next kill, pretty much critical right now if you help a cellar foe. 33:42.840 --> 33:45.480 They've got to find the next pick to open up this side a little bit. 33:45.480 --> 33:47.040 You still got two nitrous cells, two gas babes. 33:47.040 --> 33:49.080 You've got the clash to deal with. 33:49.080 --> 33:51.000 Everything is set up for D plus here in this round. 33:51.000 --> 33:52.320 Now it's all about the execution. 33:52.320 --> 33:53.960 Now, they're in the driver's seat. 33:53.960 --> 33:59.380 got best position and help us LFO needs to try and get quite fortunate. Yeah, can they 33:59.380 --> 34:04.700 get a clean headshot as they end up trying to avoid this clash as much as possible. Love 34:04.700 --> 34:08.860 this reposition from this. He goes over towards mask. Now they can try and flush him out pushing 34:08.860 --> 34:12.900 back. That's the best thing. They want to go for that mask plant later in the round. 34:12.900 --> 34:17.420 Gas bait thrown out only 30 seconds. Help us LFO have to start getting into this room. 34:17.420 --> 34:19.420 not get it into the site. 34:19.420 --> 34:24.420 Well, they go for default, the nitro is going to pretty easily deny. 34:24.420 --> 34:26.420 Oh, that's a bit aggressive. 34:26.420 --> 34:28.420 Love it. Double kill. 34:28.420 --> 34:32.420 Very nice conversion, and this should be pretty straightforward from here. 34:32.420 --> 34:37.420 It may well be a flawless open up for D plus Kiyot. 34:37.420 --> 34:40.420 A cheap opening kill, and it compounded from there. 34:40.420 --> 34:44.420 Big stack from the attack was pretty easily dealt with. 34:44.420 --> 34:48.900 Yeah, I mean you could see the stall out once that D plus got that opening kill. It's a lot 34:48.900 --> 34:53.940 more difficult to help us all afford to play that flood game. So, you know, mask and R6 comes 34:53.940 --> 34:58.180 down to a few factors. Firstly, can you get mask opened up, get mes control, ops control? 34:58.980 --> 35:03.780 It's typically what you'll see the most of in terms of how teams will attack into it. And from 35:03.780 --> 35:07.940 there, it's like, can you get a nice headshot through a doorway angle peak? And then it's like, 35:07.940 --> 35:11.620 okay, well, now we're five four on the attack, and then we can start to flood. We know they're 35:11.620 --> 35:15.660 they're going to throw a lot of utility towards mask and it's almost like kind of waited out 35:15.660 --> 35:16.980 and go for that last second hit. 35:16.980 --> 35:21.940 But when you lose that opening death, it just becomes so much more difficult and the Kali 35:21.940 --> 35:24.460 as well, which can hold some longer angles. 35:24.460 --> 35:28.980 I would like to see attacking teams experiment a little bit more when it comes to that site. 35:28.980 --> 35:33.060 It does seem like it's really settled into that meta and that same kind of attacking 35:33.060 --> 35:34.460 hit time and time again. 35:34.460 --> 35:39.060 And a good example is probably bank as a comparison in terms of basement where it's just that 35:39.060 --> 35:43.700 server hits over here and we see that the best teams will offer different points where they might go vault 35:43.860 --> 35:47.800 Yeah, they go put pressure garage. They'll go and put main stairs pressure 35:47.800 --> 35:51.340 So it's not just a five-stack in through server for a CC plant. I think 35:52.020 --> 35:54.500 This top floor and layer has turned into a real 35:55.020 --> 35:59.380 Strong defensive side the good news for help for cell opposed that's locked away for the next two rounds 35:59.380 --> 36:04.940 And so they've got an opportunity over towards basement and then later the tertiary is it these are the rounds on the attack 36:04.940 --> 36:07.580 You've got to find results. Don't worry about top four that much 36:09.060 --> 36:31.500 Yeah, top floor is not critical, it's probably the easiest way to describe it, but again it's 36:31.500 --> 36:35.540 more so I think the way in which they attacked it and then the the struggles that they face 36:35.540 --> 36:40.580 it's not going to be as simple as relying on help as LFO to make mistakes. I'm sure that would have 36:40.580 --> 36:43.860 been a massive talking point for them, especially up at COG match. Yes, the counter play was good 36:43.860 --> 36:49.460 from COG, but the volume of mistakes that they lost here quite clearly made in that series was 36:50.580 --> 36:54.500 pretty noticeable, and I'm sure that they'll be looking to correct that here. 36:54.500 --> 37:05.680 The attacking win rates for comparison as well over the last couple of weeks globally 37:05.680 --> 37:16.100 second floor 43% basement is 45.6 so slightly edging out but still overall quite a depend 37:16.100 --> 37:27.900 decided that it's number four for defense of the nine map pool you know the 37:27.900 --> 37:36.020 most offended side it is in this region or this is global since the first of 37:36.020 --> 37:45.380 April I mean it's like fortress might be the easy answer otherwise I'm thinking 37:45.380 --> 37:49.380 I don't know if I should pitch either. 37:49.380 --> 37:51.380 Is it Consulate? 37:51.380 --> 37:52.380 Yeah, it's Consulate. 37:52.380 --> 37:57.380 That's 63% and then in Cafe it's 60%. 37:57.380 --> 38:01.380 Midi with the opening kill at the one minute mark remaining. 38:01.380 --> 38:08.380 It's been a slow burn for Halperzell LFO and has finally got some pressure horizontally here towards basement. 38:08.380 --> 38:12.380 They've lost them again and now again it's similar to that opening round. 38:12.380 --> 38:14.940 That's a good pick up from you and saying, that's one door for that. 38:14.940 --> 38:16.860 Biting his headshot angle through the doorway. 38:16.860 --> 38:21.940 Soldier got one onto Muzie and leaves us now 3v3 to the close of this second round. 38:21.940 --> 38:24.580 Very winnable for both teams. 38:24.580 --> 38:29.980 And even more so now with me is finding that next pick and the clash still alive as well for D plus Kier. 38:29.980 --> 38:34.340 Throw in the knife yourself or Levy and it's going to be very difficult for Ryder and Soldier. 38:36.900 --> 38:41.740 Twenty seconds, still a bit of a view tool to play around and Soldier does net one. 38:41.740 --> 38:47.740 But time is lacking. The CLEF shield up levees should be able to play off that position known. 38:48.740 --> 38:51.740 Did he use good isolate? They could maybe make this work if Ryder can cover. 38:52.740 --> 38:57.740 It just kind of leaves falls by himself, but he can just play behind the shield anyway. Ryder trying to get involved. 38:57.740 --> 39:03.740 Soldier will go for the plant, but they will be able to collapse on him. He wants to save the KD, gets off D+, with a 2-0 start. 39:03.740 --> 39:09.240 a bit of a slow round for help of Salafo didn't really do much for the first two minutes. 39:09.240 --> 39:12.620 And then eventually it just ended up kind of being that horizontal push in that we saw 39:12.620 --> 39:13.820 towards the end of the round. 39:13.820 --> 39:17.980 And they did have a little bit of first floor pressure, D plus another opening kill. 39:17.980 --> 39:23.180 It can then bank on that clash when it's like so late in the round when it's like 30 seconds 39:23.180 --> 39:26.100 left, you still got a clash up, you still got nitrocell, there's no panic. 39:26.100 --> 39:30.140 They have to still push into site, go for the plant. 39:30.140 --> 39:31.140 You just increase control. 39:31.140 --> 39:33.660 So I'm pretty comfortable around, I think, the D plus K. 39:33.660 --> 39:34.820 Yeah, there's that opening pick. 39:34.820 --> 39:35.620 We're at the minimak. 39:35.620 --> 39:38.620 And that's the worst time possible for Salafo. 39:38.620 --> 39:42.020 They did a decent job to get back to even numbers. 39:42.020 --> 39:45.140 But then you're spending quite a bit of time 39:45.140 --> 39:47.300 taking these gunfights and not really progressing 39:47.300 --> 39:50.300 in terms of the objective and getting kicked down, 39:50.300 --> 39:51.580 clearing out the right positions. 39:51.580 --> 39:53.500 You're essentially just playing TDM. 39:53.500 --> 39:55.460 And so when it all kind of then settles down 39:55.460 --> 39:56.860 into this 2v2, guess what? 39:56.860 --> 39:58.100 There's 10 seconds left. 39:58.100 --> 39:59.300 And it's like, oh, we're attacking. 39:59.300 --> 40:00.220 We're gonna do the plant down. 40:00.220 --> 40:04.220 So you're just kind of behind, and that's why that opening pick is so important for the defensive team, 40:04.220 --> 40:07.220 of which D-plus has been able to do now in the opening two rounds. 40:10.220 --> 40:17.220 Yeah, one number I'm looking across at now that I actually didn't know prior was the average time at entry. 40:17.220 --> 40:24.220 And so the lower that number is the deeper into the round that is. 40:24.220 --> 40:31.180 And you know help us out if I currently are the the slowest team that average time that entry is a minute 27 40:31.420 --> 40:37.620 For comparison, can you be my enemy of the fastest at a minute 41? So that's already 40:38.820 --> 40:44.320 About it on average about a 10 to 15 second gap of time that 40:45.980 --> 40:47.980 Is lessened for the rest of the round 40:47.980 --> 40:53.020 That's been pretty notable in the every couple of rounds just how slow that they have been 40:53.060 --> 40:55.420 It's not it's not inherently a negative 40:55.420 --> 41:00.180 But it is them relying on you having the key piece of utility up for late kids and layering utility and playing 41:00.700 --> 41:04.660 Off one another as a team and they haven't traded that 41:05.140 --> 41:10.700 Efficiently they were often seen the covering until late ready to play it down or liking some key utility and the positioning is not great 41:10.700 --> 41:13.820 So the trade-off hasn't hasn't been there at the moment for them 41:13.820 --> 41:21.940 So if they have better luck on the tertiary of dorms, line-up suggesting that they want 41:21.940 --> 41:29.560 to clear up above, it is unlikely to be direct with no sense in play, and unlikely spearhead 41:29.560 --> 41:34.100 with a double shield here and try and flush out these defenders on the vert. 41:34.100 --> 41:40.060 The only thing tonight as well in the D plus CAG game, it was only the two rounds that 41:40.060 --> 41:46.380 we got to see the plus on defense, but the mirror was banned away by CAG. It's been left 41:46.380 --> 41:50.420 up this time around and they've started to really utilize that throwing the clash and 41:50.420 --> 41:54.700 you can already start to see if they all hang on balls got very aggressive and writer is 41:54.700 --> 42:00.380 quick to react. This is going to help them on this top floor clear. Finally get their 42:00.380 --> 42:06.460 first opening kill. The double shield certainly have been helping them be able to push in 42:06.460 --> 42:10.500 take space but they lose Yoon Sang to the natural cell of midi. 42:10.500 --> 42:15.300 You don't have any more natural cells lefty plus VZ just going nuts towards me as good 42:15.300 --> 42:19.540 headshot onto Ryder takes the long battle against soldier but the shield is up on the 42:19.540 --> 42:25.820 blackbeard wants to recollect that kit which has been lost by helper seller foe really 42:25.820 --> 42:30.660 for the third round straight it's a disadvantage position for the attack guard break musi a 42:30.660 --> 42:33.940 wonderful headshot well played on for the blackbeard. 42:33.940 --> 42:39.220 He has started this very hot. He's got three in the round. He's got six from the opening three rounds 42:40.140 --> 42:43.220 Music does not want his campaign to end early 42:44.020 --> 42:50.940 On his new team he makes a big statement in the third round and it's the clean sweep in the opening three for D plus 42:53.220 --> 42:58.260 Starting to feel like this is going to be a very one-sided opening map 42:58.900 --> 43:02.860 Rich what that makes them that fear very concerning 43:03.940 --> 43:07.940 Fortunately for Hopper Sellefo, unable to leverage the shields properly in that round, 43:07.940 --> 43:13.340 Musa did a really good job after falls agressed to just play a safe position in the backline, 43:13.340 --> 43:15.980 stalled out the first shield, enabled the night show. 43:15.980 --> 43:19.660 And then off the back of that, that was his Q to then push forward, because that pocket 43:19.660 --> 43:22.740 of space wasn't filled immediately by the attack. 43:22.740 --> 43:29.020 He's able to get free and like right here, they kill him to rider, bang. 43:29.020 --> 43:32.780 And then to play this correctly against so much pressure with the blackbeard layered and 43:32.780 --> 43:40.700 Cross covered by the glass. He's done a phenomenal job there. That's a very difficult position to play and quite easy to be overwhelmed on 43:42.560 --> 43:48.940 He's looking at red hot here on a layer so far and there's really not too much 43:49.340 --> 43:52.960 It's a vault D plus four in that first rotation 43:54.380 --> 43:56.380 Tactical timeout called 43:56.380 --> 44:06.380 Correction, it's a tech pause. I thought that perhaps it would be a tech from out of a cell phone, but that's not the case. A technical pause. 44:06.380 --> 44:13.380 I suppose an opportunity for them to just stew over what has been a pretty difficult first few rounds. 44:13.380 --> 44:19.380 Yeah, I mean, difficult in the sense that they haven't really had, I guess, too many opportunities. First round flawless. 44:19.380 --> 44:26.480 non-factor second round at least got it to a 3v3 but the time was always against them and 44:27.300 --> 44:30.000 Then in the previous round you get the open kill great 44:30.120 --> 44:34.880 You think that's that's the perfect start our first pick well guess what you don't get another kill for the rest of the round 44:35.280 --> 44:42.220 Leaving for alive for the defense and music so far with already two 3k rounds one in the first and one in the third 44:42.620 --> 44:44.980 So he's six and one one zero on the entry 44:44.980 --> 44:54.060 Really good start from D plus kid. They put the foot down. They've come to play today and you know kind of in the pre match discussion 44:54.060 --> 44:57.880 We spoke about you can have an off date like the loss against CAG's 44:58.420 --> 45:05.260 Multitude of factors number one maybe being the fact that yeah, obviously CAG as we spoke to PJ did a really good job of counter-stradding 45:05.260 --> 45:08.620 It took away a lot of the strength of their opponents and D plus kill 45:08.620 --> 45:13.100 couple that with maybe a bad day not hitting your right shots not able to 45:13.100 --> 45:17.140 clutch up not making the best decisions and just ends up being a yeah okay a 45:17.140 --> 45:21.700 bit of a beat down but it's about how you respond more than anything you can 45:21.700 --> 45:24.980 have a bad day in a double elimination bracket as long as it's in the upper 45:24.980 --> 45:30.940 bracket have that bad day come down here switch on learn recover respond and 45:30.940 --> 45:33.940 they've done that so far to begin three rounds in they look sharp they look 45:33.940 --> 45:37.740 really clean and this is what we've seen from D plus in this region against the 45:37.740 --> 45:40.320 less the teams, they can really dominate. 45:45.480 --> 45:50.060 If we can have this issue resolved promptly, from what I understand, that has been a moss 45:50.080 --> 45:50.920 crash. 45:53.600 --> 45:56.000 So I think moss could be annoying at the best time. 45:56.040 --> 45:58.600 So hopefully it's a pretty quick resolution. 46:00.720 --> 46:04.440 And if you're destroying us, it was a very quick reminder that it is three zero, 46:04.440 --> 46:06.640 kindly in favour of the plus Kia. 46:08.520 --> 46:13.040 The map selection of the opposition though, who have struggled on attack so far, very slow, 46:13.040 --> 46:18.720 not gaining a lot of value on the entry, finding it then tricky to translate the control that 46:18.720 --> 46:21.040 they do get onto meaningful pressure on the site. 46:21.280 --> 46:26.120 And then even last round, really unable to get to the objective at all, not leveraging shields 46:26.320 --> 46:27.320 as well as level of light. 46:27.320 --> 46:28.520 So it's been rough. 46:28.520 --> 46:35.080 Not two rounds really is the only benchmark that they do need to hit. 46:35.080 --> 46:39.360 The additional bands as we enter round four, the ace and the clash. 46:39.360 --> 46:46.840 The clash band is good, I mean the clash has been a nuisance for Alba Salafo. 46:46.840 --> 46:51.840 If played correctly the clash is just so strong and if it's mispositioned or it doesn't get 46:51.840 --> 46:58.240 in the right positions, yeah it can very much be circumnavigated but so far it's been 46:58.240 --> 47:02.880 played really well. Twice by Niers, once by Falls, that was on Basement and that had large 47:02.880 --> 47:08.080 impact and really controlled the site. And I think it's a really solid ban considering 47:08.080 --> 47:12.360 they don't have access to the Monty. The shield play that we saw in the previous round when 47:12.360 --> 47:16.120 they bought the Blitz and the Blackbeard just wasn't really that effective either. So if 47:16.120 --> 47:20.280 you don't really want to play into the shield game, or you're not that strong at it, take 47:20.280 --> 47:24.640 away the clash and you can just go, you know, 10 guns up in the server, which is what we're 47:24.640 --> 47:28.960 going to see in this fourth round. The bad news is, you're going back to Master in R6, 47:28.960 --> 47:35.040 very strong site defensively, and with or without the clash, D plus will be well set 47:35.040 --> 47:40.120 up. And this time, instead of having a clash, defending towards mask, you just bring the 47:40.120 --> 47:44.840 Dechenka, sit back to master, hit the long angle, and the Shamiko launcher does the rest. 47:44.840 --> 47:50.000 Yeah, it's pretty textbook selection, but when you've identified that your opponent 47:50.000 --> 47:55.060 on attack is quite slow, then it's best to just play that, uh, that area in all late. 47:56.060 --> 47:59.980 And it means that, how possible if I need to introduce a different element to this attack, 47:59.980 --> 48:03.980 whether it be this vert down below from the bark or some kind of pressure on the sixth side, 48:04.900 --> 48:09.420 it's only to alleviate the pressure that's going to come their way towards that default plant position. 48:09.420 --> 48:15.340 Otherwise, it can't help but feel the basic attack here is likely to fall apart. 48:15.340 --> 48:27.020 That's very aggressive, you have to catch your timing but it doesn't quite work out. 48:27.020 --> 48:30.020 Maybe this is the difference though, as you mentioned it is the buck they didn't bring 48:30.020 --> 48:31.020 it in the opening round. 48:31.020 --> 48:34.980 They had the Deimos but the buck is certainly more effective on first floor putting the 48:34.980 --> 48:36.820 pressure with the actual vert. 48:36.820 --> 48:40.100 The Deimos is better in the sense that if someone comes roaming you can probably win 48:40.100 --> 48:42.100 those battles quickly with the vendetta. 48:42.100 --> 48:45.620 You can obviously get the death marks as well for more information as to where people are 48:45.620 --> 48:52.580 positioned but I think the bark is just overall a stronger operator when it comes to putting 48:52.580 --> 48:53.580 pressure on that first floor. 48:53.580 --> 48:56.740 Still going to open up this wall. 48:56.740 --> 48:59.460 Linsang will help with that. 48:59.460 --> 49:05.300 I did swap out the ace as well for the Hibana giving themselves more opportunities in case 49:05.300 --> 49:08.660 the Salmas get dealt with than you got the backup. 49:08.660 --> 49:12.100 first I mean the call did not get dealt with on that wall and he's out of lances 49:13.140 --> 49:18.020 so that's quite unfortunate for the attack and I can't help but feel that this is going to make 49:18.020 --> 49:23.060 things very very tricky unless it's been dealt with from down below now what's I'm thinking well 49:23.060 --> 49:28.660 you've got the bark as the as the backup to help with that anyway 40 seconds remaining in the route 49:29.860 --> 49:34.100 naturally this side is always going to come down to the last 20 30 seconds over given 49:34.100 --> 49:38.340 and they still haven't really been able to push in 49:38.340 --> 49:39.860 because you just don't get the opportunities 49:39.860 --> 49:42.140 until mask is opened up and then you can go for that plant 49:42.140 --> 49:43.380 but you're still gonna deal with the gas babes, 49:43.380 --> 49:45.780 the Shamika launcher, last gas babes going out 49:45.780 --> 49:47.620 and you still got two nitrocells as well 49:47.620 --> 49:49.340 and Yinseng's outside battling in the window 49:49.340 --> 49:51.380 because help us out if I'm more concerned 49:51.380 --> 49:53.960 about the fact that they're getting aggressed on 49:53.960 --> 49:55.420 through these window positions 49:55.420 --> 49:57.340 rather than pushing in towards the site. 49:57.340 --> 49:59.140 Big battle over towards display 49:59.140 --> 50:00.940 as falls hits the headshot onto Ryder. 50:00.940 --> 50:02.220 Mini has gone down. 50:02.220 --> 50:03.700 There's not a lot of time left in this round. 50:03.700 --> 50:05.700 Demik still needs to get the 50:05.700 --> 50:07.700 kit. He's now on the floor and 50:07.700 --> 50:09.700 they all fall apart as soldiers 50:09.700 --> 50:11.700 the last one. It's for nothing. 50:11.700 --> 50:15.700 D plus here. Wow, that was 50:15.700 --> 50:17.700 very impressive from the defense 50:17.700 --> 50:19.700 again. D plus K just adjusting 50:19.700 --> 50:21.700 enough that they needed to after 50:21.700 --> 50:23.700 the additional bands were 50:23.700 --> 50:25.700 layered. How about cellophane 50:25.700 --> 50:27.700 having some issues there with 50:27.700 --> 50:29.700 hard breach which made it tough 50:29.700 --> 50:31.700 and then force the filter inside. 50:31.700 --> 50:36.740 and the overall plan was really all that bad, but Neutral Larian could have done a bit of 50:37.460 --> 50:40.260 could have done with a bit of improvement. They were playing into some really strong 50:40.260 --> 50:44.100 anchor positions that were clearly very difficult to clear. They didn't win any of their straight-up 50:44.100 --> 50:48.500 gunfights, which compounded some of the problems that they did face. And so 50:50.580 --> 50:55.780 this it does start to feel like this match is spiraling out of control a little bit. 50:56.820 --> 51:01.380 You will soften the blow by saying again it is top floor, so take from that what you will, 51:01.380 --> 51:05.140 But these next two rounds essentially now are teed up as 51:05.940 --> 51:11.060 As muscle we was all very close to it for for help us all of them. I think you can definitely 51:12.260 --> 51:14.260 Coin it as must win when we get 51:15.780 --> 51:19.700 Maps like left when you've got a super strong defensive side top floor, right? 51:19.700 --> 51:25.460 You can almost just kind of chalk up two rounds typically for the defense is almost an automatic win, but the other 51:25.460 --> 51:28.300 the four rounds are the gettable rounds. 51:28.300 --> 51:32.940 Yeah, where if I'm not saying again, you're not going to see a four to attacking half all 51:32.940 --> 51:36.580 that often. I'm not saying they're given, but they're the ones where you're going to 51:36.580 --> 51:42.300 have more of a more of an ability to pinch around you. And so you get to this four zero 51:42.300 --> 51:46.460 position and you can say, wow, they're getting absolutely smashed and they are none of these 51:46.460 --> 51:50.500 rounds have really been that close. But you still got two opportunities where if you pinch 51:50.500 --> 51:56.180 these two, it's a normal half, like it's fine, like there's no issue. So they've just got 51:56.180 --> 52:00.300 to lock in, but it's really difficult to then just kind of go from four rounds of a beatdown 52:00.300 --> 52:06.100 and just suddenly flip that and go too straight on the attack. It's hard to envision that happening. 52:06.100 --> 52:11.820 Basement here and then obviously Bunkton briefing the site after that. And I don't think one's 52:11.820 --> 52:15.980 going to be enough either. I think five one half sets up D plus Q very nicely. They had 52:15.980 --> 52:25.660 a very very strong attacking showing on this map back on the opening playday. 52:25.660 --> 52:30.300 I'm surprised they don't bring the solid snake in this round, it is available and what we've 52:30.300 --> 52:34.460 seen a lot of teams start to do now guys is they go like Dokka B, Deimos and the solid 52:34.460 --> 52:40.580 snake in really just making sure they can complete this roam nice and quick and maybe 52:40.580 --> 52:41.580 even find a kill or two. 52:41.580 --> 52:46.200 Oh, I'm gonna say it don't feel like it's been too slow for them with the clears being clean 52:46.200 --> 52:48.200 But there is still like 52:48.360 --> 52:54.480 Offs yeah, and yeah, that's what they've gone completely first floor clear right. It was pretty fortunate to survive that 52:55.080 --> 52:57.080 Midi now aiding over what's front door? 52:57.760 --> 53:02.720 So much still to clear but the pressure at the room is defense, but Levy does fall 53:04.160 --> 53:09.720 And so it's advantage help us out before a sentence that hasn't really been uttered throughout this half just yet 53:09.720 --> 53:12.840 Look at the health and three of their players, right? 53:12.840 --> 53:17.480 So like already a bit of damage done from these rumors you and sang now taking the half health 53:17.480 --> 53:21.680 Like there's only one player that's healthy right now, which is soldier. He's basement on the black beards 53:21.680 --> 53:28.180 He's not really helping with a lot of this first floor roaming pressure that we're seeing right now from deep last gear and 53:28.760 --> 53:29.800 It's not his fault 53:29.800 --> 53:31.680 But they've got to make a decision at this point 53:31.680 --> 53:37.440 Do you go in for the direct hit when there's only two defenders on site and you go for a 5-8 to flog 53:37.440 --> 53:42.240 try and kill those guys quickly even if it means that to mid and nears they can play first floor retake 53:42.880 --> 53:46.480 Like these are the decisions that are gonna be made quickly. Oh, you got a fight quickly and you've got a nice clutch 53:46.960 --> 53:53.920 This is horrible for help a seller for they just sit they don't make the decisions in a timely manner. What do you soldier looking at? 53:54.880 --> 53:56.880 this is an absolute 53:58.080 --> 54:03.760 Be brutal beat down to the end of the round considering they got the opening kill and they just sat around did nothing and deep 54:03.760 --> 54:05.760 What's ksa? Thank you very much. Yeah 54:05.760 --> 54:09.440 Yeah, I think they got a little bit spooked by the Roam there. 54:09.440 --> 54:14.720 And so they went for the filtration stack, which again, I didn't think that's really the worst idea. 54:14.720 --> 54:20.080 But when you you have to commit someone to the flank watch, they had a like a soft flank watch up above, 54:20.080 --> 54:26.600 but that was only really going to be effective with a little bit of luck if D plus overplayed their hand, 54:27.680 --> 54:29.520 like over the world's up weapon maintenance position. 54:29.520 --> 54:35.240 But the actual most direct flank opportunity there, especially sitting top floor as well was never cleared either, 54:35.240 --> 54:41.440 was yes, not being hard watched. And so it was a pretty straightforward 54:41.440 --> 54:45.680 prank for me to just gift it on a silver platter. Really good work. 54:49.280 --> 54:53.520 And this series is this series is just shaping up to being so one side. I mean, 54:53.520 --> 54:56.080 I feel like this might end up in the most one sided maps that we've covered 54:56.080 --> 55:01.400 all kickoff. And we've had some pretty brutal breakdown so far at the moment. 55:01.400 --> 55:03.080 D plus is just absolute demolition. 55:04.200 --> 55:06.520 It's all about the decision making there at the end, though, 55:06.520 --> 55:10.520 if a helper sell a toy, they just looked like they didn't know what to do. 55:10.920 --> 55:15.520 And as you said, then you have fundamental breakdowns when you don't have the flank watch. 55:15.560 --> 55:18.080 So you know there's Rome is, but you're not flank watching. 55:18.080 --> 55:21.160 You know there's Rome is, so there's less on site, but you're not pushing site. 55:21.160 --> 55:22.760 You're in decisive. 55:23.320 --> 55:25.520 Indecisiveness has cost you that round. 55:26.240 --> 55:28.200 The filtration stack is fine. 55:28.200 --> 55:30.920 And I think pushing into site and trying to take the fight force, 55:30.920 --> 55:34.600 issue. 30 seconds left as well. It's not like there was a minute and a half left. If there was 55:34.600 --> 55:39.000 more time on the clock, you play that very differently. Oh, this is a good opportunity for 55:39.000 --> 55:46.280 Levy and Ryder is not even watching reopening kills. D-plus during the search for a flawless half. 55:49.960 --> 55:54.920 And there has been a lot of beatdowns, because you're right. But I think in a lot of those one-sided 55:54.920 --> 56:01.160 matches, we kind of, or at least I try and frame it as maybe the scoreboard not truly reflective. 56:01.160 --> 56:06.200 You know, a lot of, maybe in a 7-1, there's two or three rounds that were clutchable, 56:06.200 --> 56:11.800 but it just all went one way. And a good example is that, is probably D-plus and CAG, like as 56:11.800 --> 56:17.000 much as D-plus got absolutely torn to shreds last week, they probably still had some winnable rounds 56:17.000 --> 56:21.000 and some clutch moments that they just couldn't capitalize upon, but there's been nothing of the 56:21.000 --> 56:27.240 saw in this half help us on the phone living up to their name they need some help 56:34.600 --> 56:39.020 Hopper does a spawn there here in round six and there's an opportunity to help us 56:39.020 --> 56:42.680 on the phone to at least hit the scoreboard on one occasion on the 56:42.680 --> 56:46.840 tertiary site give themselves an opportunity to hail married them out 56:46.840 --> 56:53.880 but at the moment it looks highly unlikely. Midpoint of the round, decent information in towards 56:53.880 --> 56:59.960 sight. They do have the Ying sense combo to layer and go for the direct green hit if they so choose 56:59.960 --> 57:05.640 and so their position accordingly for that. Fenrir may give some insight though that this is the 57:05.640 --> 57:12.280 play for the defense. Then it can work some additional hard bridge to expose in towards 57:12.280 --> 57:14.280 that pillar position. 57:14.280 --> 57:20.780 He's still in play, but with the util set here on the side of the attack, they don't have to be as concerned about this. 57:20.780 --> 57:25.280 I just gotta find that window of opportunity, that pocket of space to actually exploit. 57:28.280 --> 57:30.780 Oh, he's in a good position for the catch. 57:30.780 --> 57:32.780 Yeah, he doesn't need to push forward. 57:32.780 --> 57:36.280 I like the fact that he did push back, lost the battle to falls, he got tagged up, 57:36.280 --> 57:41.780 wanted to try and draw falls out to a bit more of an aggressive position so that the soldier could help. 57:41.780 --> 57:47.300 help up green stairs. He just lost his life as well. Demic at the exact same moment too. 57:47.300 --> 57:52.660 Goes down double for falls. Harper now by himself and the flawless half now is looking 57:52.660 --> 57:57.940 all bit assuredly 30 seconds for Harper in the 1v3 doesn't have the kit tagged up by the razor 57:57.940 --> 58:04.020 bloom shell only a little bit. But as he makes his way through the hallway, you would imagine it's 58:04.020 --> 58:10.900 only death that awaits him. D plus Kia with a six nothing demolition job on land. The game is not 58:10.900 --> 58:12.900 Well done, but ah ha, certainly is. 58:40.900 --> 58:47.900 I can make the sun come out, I can make the blind sun go, show you what it's all about, 58:47.900 --> 58:53.900 I can make all your beds in school, I can make all these runs come true. 58:53.900 --> 59:02.900 Just like a field time, wherever you are, man, I'm here for you. 59:32.900 --> 59:37.900 I can make it possible, I can make the sharpest cuts 59:37.900 --> 59:42.900 I can make it possible, I can make the sharpest cuts 59:42.900 --> 59:49.900 I can let you into paradise, I can make it all just seem alright 59:49.900 --> 59:56.900 Just like a filter, when everyone wants me, I'm a man, I'm a man 59:56.900 --> 01:00:24.540 Well, typically we have a halftime break, I think we may as well have just skipped 01:00:24.540 --> 01:00:34.180 to the map breaker. We're six nothing up here for D plus here. Help us out if I just look, 01:00:34.180 --> 01:00:38.900 I think we always try and find positives or angles and spins and things like that. They 01:00:38.900 --> 01:00:44.100 just they got taught a lesson in that half. Nothing worked for them. There wasn't a lot 01:00:44.100 --> 01:00:50.340 that went right. I think they made a lot of fundamental mistakes themselves. But if you're 01:00:50.340 --> 01:00:54.600 going to make fundamental mistakes, you certainly cannot be doing that against the top level 01:00:54.600 --> 01:00:59.820 team like D plus here, they will absolutely punish you. And we saw that in that fifth 01:00:59.820 --> 01:01:05.620 round, the basement, the stack filtration, you know, in that, that moment, you put better 01:01:05.620 --> 01:01:09.200 decision making in place, you maybe could walk away with a round win and you can maybe 01:01:09.200 --> 01:01:13.800 make that argument for a couple of rounds. By and large, though, D plus here were just 01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:19.080 far, far better in the half. Didn't make any mistakes themselves. Just clinical in all 01:01:19.080 --> 01:01:24.040 faster to the game, they got the majority of the open kills, they got multiple, multi-kill 01:01:24.040 --> 01:01:30.200 rounds, so in the half six rounds played four rounds, they had a player that got a 3k or 01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:34.340 more. So they always had at least someone that could pop off, Muzi with nine in six 01:01:34.340 --> 01:01:40.920 rounds, like, this is pretty one-sided. And so if I help a solo foe, picking this map, 01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:44.960 they're going to be kicking themselves, I think, for going here. 01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:57.960 Yep. Yeah, it definitely does then get marked as a very intriguing map video selection for them and one that has ultimately grew very, very, very costly. 01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:08.960 Again, for D plus, this map is not particularly bad for them. You look back all the way back to October 2025 to now. Again, they've got a 5-1 record. 01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:13.580 record they were very respectable record on this map and maybe half past LFO were 01:02:13.580 --> 01:02:18.120 lured in a little bit by the CIG result and maybe saw something there that they 01:02:18.120 --> 01:02:22.880 could try and continue with and exploit but we haven't even got into that point 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:25.560 where there's gotta play an offer because there's been a lot of just 01:02:25.560 --> 01:02:30.320 fundamental breakdowns from on attack so yeah they'll be kicking themselves a 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:36.200 little bit with how that has played out and they go top floor to defend for round 01:02:36.200 --> 01:02:42.080 Number seven, it's very very just stock standard comp lineup in terms of the 01:02:42.080 --> 01:02:47.120 double-planet denial. I've got the additions of the mirror, with that double 01:02:47.120 --> 01:02:51.080 nitro alongside the warden. I think D plus K are probably going to go for a 01:02:51.080 --> 01:02:56.120 pretty consolidated opposite cross maybe then split the push bathroom side as well 01:02:56.120 --> 01:02:58.480 and that's kind of the structure you can see deployed at the moment. 01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:03.280 Deimos is walking low clobby. That's a very very basic stuff here from both 01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:06.640 teams as D5 is trying to get the job done. 01:03:06.640 --> 01:03:12.760 Derek does get the first pick and there is a chance that they can avoid the 7-0, courtesy 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.120 of the defensive nature of this top floor. 01:03:15.120 --> 01:03:19.760 It helps as well when you get rid of the ace early on. 01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:30.240 Just the one tin can opener now from the capitol of 4-2-8 and 1. 01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:36.200 It's a shame they couldn't help themselves because on the defensive flair, they probably 01:03:36.200 --> 01:03:40.480 could have strung together a decent amount of rounds, built up confidence, and I think 01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:42.920 starting on the attack did not help them at all. 01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:47.280 This would have been a very different game had they, I think the gun on defense, certainly 01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:51.400 judging by the start here, they're bringing the right line-up composition, they get the 01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:54.360 early pick, they can be a little bit more settled. 01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:59.400 Flash has pushed hard back temporarily to the R6 room, 60 seconds left, C plus Kirt, 01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:01.400 I started to get mezz control 01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:08.480 They find it a pick on to you insane and nears as well headshot on to Demi music does his job on the Demos 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:13.520 And suddenly now T plus kill they got the numbers and they can start to push in right I got the trade 01:04:13.520 --> 01:04:15.520 But still the numbers remain with the plus kill 01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:23.760 Yeah, getting overwhelmed at the moment music takes a ton of damage bits of ice falls for plant writer for a sharp swing 01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:25.760 And now writer all I'm on V2 01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:34.960 I like the job down there for me is he just making sure he's safe on the rotate back up main stairs the swing against falls 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:41.240 Knowing he's still close by and that's all done seven nothing just like that from D plus care. They make quick work 01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:49.640 For half a second. I didn't even realize that technically that actually is over, but it certainly is D plus care in a speedrun performance 01:04:50.640 --> 01:04:55.360 Brutal beat down help us LFO are gonna need all the help they can get on shall a 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:35.760 I'm Kenzumi Saitama. 01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:40.760 It's the first time I've met a PS4 player in a series called Rainbow Six Siege. 01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:42.760 That's the reason. 01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:46.760 The reason I started playing Siege was because my brother loved the game, 01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:49.760 and I was influenced by it, and I loved the game. 01:05:49.760 --> 01:06:00.260 The game I played with my brother was COD's BO2, and I played it in the back space for the first time in my life. 01:06:00.260 --> 01:06:08.140 It was a lot of fun to play the game in a pure way, unlike the current one. 01:06:08.140 --> 01:06:11.760 When I was young, I still loved playing with people. 01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:18.520 Yes, I've always liked to compete with people since I was a kid. 01:06:18.520 --> 01:06:23.680 I've been doing a lot of middle school and high school. 01:06:23.680 --> 01:06:27.840 But I've given up. 01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:37.040 I've been playing games for a long time, and I've always wanted to win more than just having fun. 01:06:37.040 --> 01:06:41.640 And gradually, I became a professional. 01:06:41.640 --> 01:06:43.160 I became a professional fighter. 01:06:43.160 --> 01:06:47.400 That's right. I started from middle school. 01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:52.840 I left the result a little and went to high school like a water line. 01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:56.600 That's right. I think that's where the reflection is. 01:06:56.600 --> 01:06:59.200 I think that's what makes it so great. 01:06:59.200 --> 01:07:01.200 I started from a long time ago. 01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:05.040 I started from a young age, but I was very good at sports. 01:07:05.040 --> 01:07:10.880 At that time, I was a junior high school student, and there was a group battle. 01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:16.480 I think it was the most memorable moment for me to be in the KEN3 and be in the Kanto Taikyo. 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:25.600 The first reason I came here was because the team that I went to was very active and strong. 01:07:25.600 --> 01:07:28.400 And we all started from middle school. 01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:33.000 We had a goal to win the first time we were young. 01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.240 It was very interesting. 01:07:35.240 --> 01:07:36.440 That's why we started. 01:07:55.600 --> 01:07:57.600 I'm breaking next and I'm robbing out 01:07:57.600 --> 01:08:00.100 Though I don't know what's up with my money now 01:08:00.100 --> 01:08:03.100 Cause I can't make it down so I'm strutting up 01:08:03.100 --> 01:08:06.100 I'ma keep it going so I ain't nothing left 01:08:10.100 --> 01:08:13.100 I'ma keep it going, I'ma keep it going 01:08:13.100 --> 01:08:16.100 I'ma keep it going so I ain't nothing left 01:11:25.600 --> 01:11:50.000 Well a brutal showing from D plus gear has seen them run over the 7 nothing results on 01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:55.200 the opening map of layer their third time on the map goes to one over the three series played 01:11:56.080 --> 01:12:01.200 on that map. Disappointing from help of seller foe you can't help but say of course D plus played 01:12:01.200 --> 01:12:06.960 incredibly well made a lot of really good decisions made pretty much no mistakes sharp in the gunplay 01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:12.240 music was sensational balls had a big game as well ultimately it's a case of a team that was 01:12:12.240 --> 01:12:17.040 switched on versus a team that well didn't really come to the table. Yeah had them coveted so many 01:12:17.040 --> 01:12:21.360 facets of the game. Outside of I guess you could say opening kills that were 01:12:21.360 --> 01:12:25.440 three occasions where Hell plus LFO were able to find that opening duel and then 01:12:25.440 --> 01:12:30.000 still went on to lose the round and unlike maybe some of the other very 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:34.480 ones one sided on paper results that we've seen throughout kickoff whether 01:12:34.480 --> 01:12:39.520 over here in APN or elsewhere this one doesn't have the saving grace for the 01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:42.480 losing team of maybe having closely contested rounds or overall having 01:12:42.480 --> 01:12:45.840 the vibe that maybe they got a little unlucky. No, you look at the 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:51.840 Survival rate across the vast majority of these rounds and they were super dominant. You also look at the opening time of these 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:57.880 Engagements happening early and happening first in the round and those were typically quite deep as well 01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:03.720 Which leans into the storyline that in the first half on attack half a cell or foe were very slow and slows 01:13:03.720 --> 01:13:06.720 Okay, when you're able to set yourself up for the execute 01:13:07.360 --> 01:13:10.840 Unfortunately, they did look a little lost on most of those pushes 01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:14.200 unfortunately, and a deep-host Kia, a team that's really switched on every 01:13:14.200 --> 01:13:18.600 exploit weakness, kicked into gear, closed out these rounds, and the match was honestly 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:26.280 over before it really even got going. Interesting in the end, it was a 4-3 split in terms of the 01:13:26.280 --> 01:13:30.680 opening kills, so it's not like Helper's LFO didn't have opportunities when they had the 01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:36.520 5-on-4 advantages, they just couldn't capitalize, and in one of those rounds, that was the only 01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:40.040 kill they got was the opening kill, and another one, they only got two kills in that round, 01:13:40.040 --> 01:13:45.920 So they weren't able to string together rounds where they got a good early start and then we're able to compound on that 01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:49.480 Get a couple more kills and then have the numbers up in the gunfights 01:13:49.480 --> 01:13:53.040 It was always D plus care that even if they got the opening death 01:13:53.240 --> 01:13:59.840 The response was swift and pretty quick and on the flip side when they got the opening kill the round was basically done from there 01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:06.240 I had no point was helpers. I'll go able to get back into that given round. It was a very dominant round finish 01:14:06.240 --> 01:14:11.520 Ultimately, whenever you have the 7-0, you cannot really find a lot of positives to the 01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:12.520 team that lost. 01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:15.640 You didn't get a single round, you didn't get a single plant down, you didn't get a 01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:20.480 single clutch, you didn't get any multi-kill, so you got beaten up pretty badly. 01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:23.760 You make the case again where D-plus played incredibly well and sometimes you've got to 01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:28.000 tip your hat to your opponent, but you can lose games where your opponent played incredibly 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:33.200 well, but you still got at least two to three rounds and held a bit more of your own composure, 01:14:33.200 --> 01:14:35.960 but I just don't think they had any composure in the map. 01:14:35.960 --> 01:14:40.500 This was very brutal and it's a big wake up call for Helper Salafo going into the next 01:14:40.500 --> 01:14:43.880 map of Chalet, which is a map that actually played. 01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:47.960 So again, when we went back to that map, Vito, you've picked a map that your opponent 01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:51.900 has already played twice and dominated at least once him on. 01:14:51.900 --> 01:14:57.640 Then finally enough, the team in which picked against you, Chalet, well, you've played Chalet 01:14:57.640 --> 01:14:58.640 and they haven't. 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:03.240 Now, KineTrope beat Helper Salafo, 7-3 back from the opening, played out of Chalet. 01:15:03.240 --> 01:15:07.480 person who got one defensive round in that first half and that set it up then they go and beat 01:15:08.040 --> 01:15:09.800 BRX on it seven five 01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:15.560 They got four attacking rounds in the first half that set them up again defense was a little bit shaky gave up three three 01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:20.160 Half that's still won the map, but BRX as we saw with the new little lineup 01:15:20.280 --> 01:15:26.360 Weren't really too strong and so now against the class going over to Chalet. I'm very worried with help with cello phone 01:15:27.480 --> 01:15:33.040 Yeah, I'm super concerned as well man on screen now like moosey who is absolutely popping off on that 01:15:33.040 --> 01:15:40.680 That's our first map, finished 11-12, 86% past here is just all across the board. 01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:41.680 Just amazing. 01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:46.320 Had a phenomenal start round line over the kill, back that up with what was at least 01:15:46.320 --> 01:15:50.120 a triple and here's his little replay package on that particular map. 01:15:50.120 --> 01:15:51.960 It just felt like, where do you put him? 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:55.520 He would have impact throughout the three really good examples, get under pressure from 01:15:55.520 --> 01:16:00.480 the shield glass lineup from, help us out of the foe and I would just pick them apart 01:16:00.480 --> 01:16:02.720 And so, yeah, did a phenomenal job. 01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:05.480 Feels like the vibes for the D plus are much more positive, 01:16:05.480 --> 01:16:07.280 which I mean, goes without saying, 01:16:07.280 --> 01:16:08.800 they just have their opponents, 01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:10.360 so they're going to be pretty pleased with themselves. 01:16:10.360 --> 01:16:14.200 But yeah, if they can carry even a semblance of this form 01:16:14.200 --> 01:16:18.200 onto map number two, we haven't had a 14-0 yet, 01:16:18.200 --> 01:16:22.200 at least not that we've casted, but maybe this will be a lot. 01:16:22.200 --> 01:16:23.040 Yeah, that's true. 01:16:23.040 --> 01:16:26.520 I mean, I think that when you bring someone into a lineup, 01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:28.600 such as music, they've got to have impact. 01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:29.880 And he certainly had impact. 01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:35.880 I'll use the CAG game as a reference point where they got absolutely torn to shreds. 7-1 loss on Lair, which is quite... 01:16:37.080 --> 01:16:41.640 Their Lair games have been wild. They had a 7-2 win, then a 7-1 loss, and now a 7-0 win. 01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:45.080 Like, none of the Lair's that D-plus have been involved in have been close. 01:16:45.080 --> 01:16:49.240 They didn't have the 7-2 loss on Border. That music actually performed really well in that series. 01:16:49.240 --> 01:16:55.240 He was the only one that didn't go negative. He went 14-14. He went 1-0 on Entry, and he had a 71% cost. 01:16:55.240 --> 01:17:00.840 actually went positive EPS wise in that series loss. We've only got three round wins. Like that's 01:17:00.840 --> 01:17:05.400 actually quite staggering that you can have a performance such as that when your team has just 01:17:05.400 --> 01:17:12.040 been obliterated. And then we see now on the opposite side of that with a 7-0 win, he doesn't just 01:17:12.040 --> 01:17:17.320 kind of then fall back, but he's leading from the front. So he gets even more that goes his way. 01:17:17.320 --> 01:17:21.800 He's been a really big pick up, really big addition for D plus care. No surprise there. 01:17:21.800 --> 01:17:26.600 and he's a big reason why I think this team can still go all the way and make the major. 01:17:26.600 --> 01:17:30.600 They're a really solid team, they've just got to get it all to click in to gear and 01:17:31.160 --> 01:17:35.720 I'm sure they would have learned a lot from that CAG loss and they'd love to get a rematch in the grand final. 01:17:38.280 --> 01:17:42.360 Oh absolutely, we did have word a few minutes ago that there has been a 01:17:42.360 --> 01:17:46.680 re-host and as you can all quite clearly see in the background a couple of the D-plus players 01:17:46.680 --> 01:17:52.960 are restarting their clients at the moment and we are currently waiting on them to join 01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:58.080 the lobby which is ready to go so shouldn't it be a couple of moments away from map number 01:17:58.080 --> 01:17:59.080 two? 01:17:59.080 --> 01:18:04.280 Chalet of course in this best of three if required although that feels a long way away 01:18:04.280 --> 01:18:09.520 at the moment Bank will be the decider in this best of three the numbers on Chalet look 01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:17.040 a little bit more favourable for D plus, they'd probably help us out if I would like, but 01:18:17.040 --> 01:18:23.160 that's probably subsequent due to the depth that D plus does have to offer in this kind 01:18:23.160 --> 01:18:28.440 of series, and so it's always going to be very tricky to navigate this particular video. 01:18:28.440 --> 01:18:34.480 There's not a ton of data for D plus KIA, especially given the sheer amount we do have 01:18:34.480 --> 01:18:38.480 for them, at least here on Shallow, so I don't know what help us out if what I've seen here 01:18:38.480 --> 01:18:42.480 to allow it through, but let's find out. 01:18:42.480 --> 01:18:45.280 Well, D-plus are going to start on the defense once again, 01:18:45.280 --> 01:18:47.480 and they'll be very difficult to break down 01:18:47.480 --> 01:18:48.780 to help us sell a foe. 01:18:48.780 --> 01:18:51.440 They've got to find a wing here on Chalet, 01:18:51.440 --> 01:18:53.480 or their timing kickoff comes to an end, 01:18:53.480 --> 01:18:56.280 and the hands of D-plus here must wing territory for them now, 01:18:56.280 --> 01:19:00.080 here and then on bank to follow if required, 01:19:00.080 --> 01:19:02.780 if they can get back into this. 01:19:02.780 --> 01:19:05.380 7-0's aren't great, mentally. 01:19:05.380 --> 01:19:07.480 And I think that's the biggest thing 01:19:07.480 --> 01:19:10.920 now moving forward for helper cell info is cast your minds away from what happened on 01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:17.380 that obedient map back yourselves in and don't shy away from aggression and trying to make 01:19:17.380 --> 01:19:22.440 things happen and being scared of making mistakes coming into Chalet. You've got to go into 01:19:22.440 --> 01:19:27.400 that do or die mode and hope that that does enough to get you this result. And the good 01:19:27.400 --> 01:19:31.560 news about when you lose seven zero is it's irrelevant going into the second map. It's 01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:35.240 the same as if you lost eight seven. There's no difference. Map is done. Move on onto the 01:19:35.240 --> 01:19:42.240 second one. The bands Monty and Gring band away from Halpa Salafo and they'll take off 01:19:42.240 --> 01:19:45.240 the board the Asami and the mirror. 01:19:45.240 --> 01:19:59.740 Alright, so top four for the first site of choice. The Ryoura is an intriguing addition. 01:19:59.740 --> 01:20:06.380 I do anticipate we see some interesting radar stats brought into play, especially in her 01:20:06.380 --> 01:20:07.700 buffed state. 01:20:07.700 --> 01:20:11.340 The range of her launch is now actually pretty significant. 01:20:11.340 --> 01:20:13.860 You can do some pretty crazy lineups these days now. 01:20:13.860 --> 01:20:18.340 So unfortunately, we're not going to say it actually locked in for round number one, but 01:20:18.340 --> 01:20:21.900 certainly something to note going forward. 01:20:21.900 --> 01:20:24.420 The sensor is introduced into the lineup. 01:20:24.420 --> 01:20:31.780 So, suggesting that we'll see some kind of play centered around that later in the round. 01:20:31.780 --> 01:20:36.460 As for the defense, very denari-heavy here, so a lot of Trapp U-Tool has been deployed 01:20:36.460 --> 01:20:41.540 on the solar side push in the training edition, bringing the Rune as well with, of course, 01:20:41.540 --> 01:20:45.340 the strength of the DMR and then the ability to introduce more Trapp U-Tool as well, even 01:20:45.340 --> 01:20:49.820 the cast as well, to soak up some of the explosives, so it's a little experimental for both teams 01:20:49.820 --> 01:20:51.900 at the moment. 01:20:51.900 --> 01:20:55.660 positioning from the position of the attack though, suggesting we actually 01:20:55.660 --> 01:21:00.620 see a bit of activity on this solo side of the map and playing into this setup. 01:21:04.620 --> 01:21:09.180 Well, the opening map of last started with a flawless, so how do you do that first half 01:21:09.180 --> 01:21:12.620 has a flawless half as well. 01:21:13.820 --> 01:21:16.940 Alpha solo throw will be eager to get around on the board just for the 01:21:16.940 --> 01:21:19.820 confidence boost. 01:21:19.820 --> 01:21:25.340 But they can't think about getting it all back in one round. 01:21:25.340 --> 01:21:31.060 Just play the fundamentals, treat each round as if it's 0-0, in this case it is. 01:21:31.060 --> 01:21:32.900 Bring the Blackbeard off for a soldier. 01:21:32.900 --> 01:21:38.380 And a pretty heavy stack over towards Bathroom right now for D-plus Keir with Muzie and Nia's 01:21:38.380 --> 01:21:41.420 double stacking together. 01:21:41.420 --> 01:21:45.420 Which does lock down this position when you've got Levy over towards Piano as well. 01:21:45.420 --> 01:21:50.720 So that kind of balcony area for herpicella foe isn't really going to be all that strong 01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:52.620 for them if they stay tucked in. 01:21:52.620 --> 01:21:57.740 D plus offer them nothing that's going to force them at library side and solar side, 01:21:57.740 --> 01:22:01.100 which is what D plus want. 01:22:01.100 --> 01:22:04.980 Where the site really gets opened up is if the attack can clear out positions like bathroom 01:22:04.980 --> 01:22:09.220 and piano and then start to put pressure around the site. 01:22:09.220 --> 01:22:16.220 and he's putting his own sense of pressure right now from top library and he's saying 01:22:16.220 --> 01:22:17.220 all four. 01:22:17.220 --> 01:22:21.720 Here's Gats the pick over towards bathroom, a soldier is in towards solar, you can just 01:22:21.720 --> 01:22:26.740 see how open it is, the blackbeard is very strong in this area, for the head shot, a 01:22:26.740 --> 01:22:31.940 soldier was trying to find the pick and I love this strategy set up there by D plus 01:22:31.940 --> 01:22:37.060 Kier, open up the footholds, force them into solar, once they get into solar it's like 01:22:37.060 --> 01:22:41.140 walking into a trap. They're just completely opened up. They got no cover themselves and 01:22:41.140 --> 01:22:43.460 very difficult to hit the shots onto the bathroom holders. 01:22:44.740 --> 01:22:48.340 Yeah, there's a lot of different layers to that defense and going for the old school direct 01:22:48.340 --> 01:22:53.380 solar there is so high risk. I really don't think that's the most optimal way to approach that. 01:22:53.380 --> 01:22:57.620 You need a little bit more pressure down below, more util clearance, more explosives. 01:22:59.060 --> 01:23:02.260 Unfortunately, the spearhead there is very low percentage and 01:23:02.260 --> 01:23:09.260 And, well, ultimately, how Bacelofo get the result that was probably expected in that round, 01:23:09.260 --> 01:23:13.260 maybe even more of the whole website against them, of course, a flawless open up. 01:23:13.260 --> 01:23:18.260 What they needed, though, I think, is pressure library. Bring more bodies on the library side, 01:23:18.260 --> 01:23:22.260 and then once you've gotten control, get a couple to rotate off and go for a pinch. 01:23:22.260 --> 01:23:26.260 Instead, they just go for a stack push and it just falls right into the trap. 01:23:26.260 --> 01:23:35.700 And floorless again to start the second map as we did on the first map too so I mean when 01:23:35.700 --> 01:23:40.580 you lose the first map 7-0 started with the floorless going to the second map and it's 01:23:40.580 --> 01:23:45.700 flawless again and it's an 8-0 start to the series in favor of D plus Kia that's where 01:23:45.700 --> 01:23:51.700 mentally it's like very difficult even for the best to play as one of the most upmost 01:23:51.700 --> 01:23:58.700 professionals to kind of keep your head in the right frame of mind that you can still 01:23:58.700 --> 01:24:02.700 win because there's got to be naturally I think it's only human the thoughts in your 01:24:02.700 --> 01:24:05.420 back in mind can get you know we're probably not going to win this and as soon as that 01:24:05.420 --> 01:24:10.980 happens you're definitely not going to win it. 01:24:10.980 --> 01:24:14.740 I like Ryder going into the state, I haven't really seen that from help of Salafo, I changed 01:24:14.740 --> 01:24:23.620 up a little bit. But he's by games the site in which you need to bring it maybe against 01:24:23.620 --> 01:24:37.500 midi on the solar so if you can go hunt him down. And then if that's the goal, then that's 01:24:37.500 --> 01:24:38.500 the goal. 01:24:38.500 --> 01:24:40.500 Why not just bring the demos? 01:24:40.900 --> 01:24:42.900 Yeah 01:24:43.540 --> 01:24:45.540 Let's say let's say 01:24:45.780 --> 01:24:50.020 I'm really just holding on the time management here in this attack. It was a big sore point everyone layer 01:24:50.860 --> 01:24:57.060 It's something that will need to be addressed here on shall I am at that naturally should open itself up a little bit more once you're able to grind in 01:24:57.780 --> 01:25:01.800 In that initial map control. Well, there's some some presents on the map 01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:07.320 We've got that it on display now over to what's solid they can spearhead this bit of range half bridge to expose levy 01:25:07.320 --> 01:25:14.840 the peak with Muzie, Solider's under pressure but Halfer has his back. Good cross and we'll 01:25:14.840 --> 01:25:22.640 spot the second. Run out below while played for Midi, 4-4 and probably a net win for the 01:25:22.640 --> 01:25:26.480 defense however given that the active twitch is off the board and Lovie's already placed 01:25:26.480 --> 01:25:31.520 his U-Tool. Yeah, 100% and Ryna's not hunting Midi so Midi's under no pressure right now. 01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:37.080 It's a full solo side sweep across to help us LFO which is going to limit the impact 01:25:37.080 --> 01:25:44.080 of the solid snake in this round. 01:25:44.080 --> 01:25:48.240 The soldier's going to get places there, Jadson's going to play around with the Rateros. 01:25:48.240 --> 01:25:51.880 So it kind of leaves Damik and Ryder as the remaining two to hold some angles, see if 01:25:51.880 --> 01:25:54.440 they can push, drone out. 01:25:54.440 --> 01:25:57.600 And it's going to slow this round down massively. 01:25:57.600 --> 01:25:59.360 You've still got to clear out these Lyrid players. 01:25:59.360 --> 01:26:02.640 Funnily enough, the site itself is completely vacant. 01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:06.640 But such is the nature of bar games, if you don't clear a library, where are you going 01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:11.840 really get this plant down. There's just too many angles that you can cover from above and then 01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:16.960 Midi's still down boy watching anyway and he actually gets the kill on to Ryder so he beats 01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:23.520 out the solid snake. He does get traded though by Demik over towards Office and a lovely headshot 01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:28.240 from Soldier and gives Helper Salafo a big lead. They're just winning the gunfights in this round. 01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:33.520 D plus Kier instead of opting to fall back play side safe positions like Barstock. 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:40.760 They wanted to keep taking the gunfights leaves falls in 1v3 and help a cell of foe that streak finally comes to an end 01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:42.760 They're on the board for the first time in the series 01:26:43.200 --> 01:26:48.940 Maybe a little bit of over aggression from deep last gear gave them the pathway and they took advantage 01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:56.680 Well, it seems like the 14-0 dream is now dead and buried 01:26:57.680 --> 01:26:59.240 some 01:26:59.240 --> 01:27:03.320 Assemblance of confidence now for help by Salafo who have actually been able to win 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:06.920 Around with primarily gunfights there a lot of it 01:27:07.280 --> 01:27:13.160 Taking place overall towards the top four the opening trade wasn't super favorable for them losing the twitch for the Goya 01:27:13.160 --> 01:27:17.560 Didn't put them in the best position that then had to play so like a two-man frontline, but 01:27:18.600 --> 01:27:20.600 Now I'm able to back themselves 01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:24.840 I mean there's fights a couple of which are pretty awkward, but I'm gonna get the job done 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:33.000 And so now they have a little bit of a base to play off over to dining for round three, 01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:34.500 the selection D plus Kiyo. 01:27:34.500 --> 01:27:41.720 And help us all play well, we'll just be looking I think slowly build on that round, try to 01:27:41.720 --> 01:27:45.800 take again a little bit of confidence from that, try to continue to chip away at their 01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:51.120 tempo and their timings, which wasn't too bad in that last round, try and set that as 01:27:51.120 --> 01:27:55.240 the expectation are going forward they need to be the ones initiating players 01:27:55.240 --> 01:28:00.280 and getting in the face of this defense a little earlier. 01:28:09.320 --> 01:28:15.120 And curious to see if helpers can kick on from that as a result and use that as a 01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:22.120 a group of confidence and provide them with a little bit more vigor and spark and desire 01:28:22.120 --> 01:28:26.080 to push in, take the gunfights, look what we can do, we can hit the shots, we can hold 01:28:26.080 --> 01:28:31.560 these angles, we can beat these guys and so if that can fill the coffers of confidence 01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:35.320 well they'll find a way to get themselves back into this series. 01:28:35.320 --> 01:28:40.080 We know again they're a talented group of players, they can hit some good shots mechanically 01:28:40.080 --> 01:28:46.000 their sound and at the very best of what we've ever seen from these guys it's you know major 01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:52.640 level qualifications it should never be in the territory of 7071 destroyed by D plus out of 01:28:52.640 --> 01:28:57.760 out of kickoff that's not their their past mark at all if you're going to lose the D plus at least 01:28:57.760 --> 01:29:04.400 make it competitive i'm usually i like him now going on to the mozzie just to keep that pressure 01:29:04.400 --> 01:29:09.280 up and doubling down alongside the solders where they maybe get the sense that okay help us alifoe 01:29:09.280 --> 01:29:13.980 We're gonna start to try and be more aggressive. Let's match that night yourself almost gets rid of soldier 01:29:14.740 --> 01:29:16.120 But even it doesn't kill him 01:29:16.120 --> 01:29:22.600 It's still down hinders his ability to push into solar and be aggressive. Oh, yeah, false is over the wood starting with impacts 01:29:22.600 --> 01:29:25.980 I think the cool would go out that soldier may be low 01:29:27.100 --> 01:29:28.860 after that night shirt 01:29:28.860 --> 01:29:33.840 And force will be ready and waiting to catch soldier who's known a very compromised position 01:29:34.240 --> 01:29:36.320 So force will heavily contested 01:29:36.320 --> 01:29:43.320 Help us all if I've invested quite a big chunk of utility and haven't gained a lot from it. 01:29:43.320 --> 01:29:48.320 People's game is still going to be pretty active here on the second floor. 01:29:48.320 --> 01:29:52.320 Neers gets caught though. Good catch from Demik. 01:29:52.320 --> 01:29:57.320 Minute on the clock, now time starts to slowly become a concern. 01:29:57.320 --> 01:30:04.440 The music knows though he's now getting pinch pressure, hasn't had to deal with that. 01:30:04.440 --> 01:30:08.400 So he wanted to swing Ryder and take the 1v1, lost that good job from Ryder but he got taken 01:30:08.400 --> 01:30:11.040 low and a lot of other fights haven't gone their way either. 01:30:11.040 --> 01:30:16.600 Leaves us in this awkward predicament, there's still 40 seconds so they can try and salvage 01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:19.360 this if you help us out of the foe but they're very low on health. 01:30:19.360 --> 01:30:23.360 Yeah, Balls had the extra health advantage, took a bit of damage, got the immediate kill 01:30:23.360 --> 01:30:24.360 on to Ryder. 01:30:24.360 --> 01:30:28.840 is low impact getting pressured though by soldier. He's still very low and he knows 01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:32.280 he needs to try and keep the shield up at all times, especially with midi and falls 01:30:32.280 --> 01:30:39.480 pushing together and D plus respond. At least though what we're getting on charley is more 01:30:39.480 --> 01:30:45.160 competitiveness. Certainly it feels a little more competitive and then cup our cell phone 01:30:45.160 --> 01:30:49.480 the structure here on a map like charley that's a little more compact and a little easier to 01:30:49.480 --> 01:30:53.480 establish crosses is making their life a bit more comfortable that they could play some 01:30:53.480 --> 01:30:57.140 more static positions and don't feel as much pressure, whereas on Lair they have to be a 01:30:57.140 --> 01:31:01.380 little bit more mobile and that's where they were getting caught out. To be fair, through 01:31:01.380 --> 01:31:04.340 the mid-portion of that round, D plus K has started to look pretty unsettled and we're 01:31:04.340 --> 01:31:09.100 playing very ultra aggressive into those positions as opposed to maybe sitting back and draining 01:31:09.100 --> 01:31:15.820 more utility. So perhaps an element of impatience there from the defense. Although it wasn't 01:31:15.820 --> 01:31:19.420 terribly played, they're ultimately able to capture a good advantage there towards the 01:31:19.420 --> 01:31:25.100 and once in a key fight. They're doing a lot of utility as well from the attack and with that their health as well. 01:31:26.380 --> 01:31:31.580 Right here. It's a moody over-aggressing a little bit but then yeah some big picks went their way elsewhere 01:31:32.460 --> 01:31:36.460 and Soldier who was so low for the entirety of that round there's 01:31:36.460 --> 01:31:40.700 wasn't a whole lot that he could do in terms of playmaking so yeah good work there from D plus K 01:31:40.700 --> 01:31:47.600 certainly more competitive than lair. It's a long way to go if I help us on the 01:31:47.600 --> 01:31:52.000 phone to have a half that's actually competitive. 01:32:01.100 --> 01:32:04.620 One thing they've been able to do though is just not allow music to 01:32:04.620 --> 01:32:08.060 kind of do what he wants back on lair. He was just kind of running around and 01:32:08.060 --> 01:32:13.060 Having a bit of a free time got a lot of killings and now zero two is having to work a bit more for it 01:32:13.060 --> 01:32:17.260 You saw that in the previous round with the pinch pressure from bathroom and then piano window 01:32:18.320 --> 01:32:23.580 But they're making people us work for it a little bit more which is the good good news and good signs to help 01:32:23.580 --> 01:32:25.580 Help us out of both 01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:31.220 They're in the game, you know, it's it's to one that obviously the wider 01:32:31.860 --> 01:32:37.460 Picture of it is that they lost the first map so convincingly, but that's a relevant now and they should feel like 01:32:38.060 --> 01:32:42.060 They're a good chance here on Chalet off of what we've seen in the opening three rounds. 01:32:43.060 --> 01:32:48.060 But just because you're in the game and you're competitive doesn't mean it's suddenly going to mean you're going to just get wins for free. 01:32:48.060 --> 01:32:50.060 D-plus will step their own game up. 01:32:51.060 --> 01:32:53.060 And so that's going to be the bigger issue. 01:32:56.060 --> 01:33:02.060 And like already the aggression is kind of library extension with the mess hall just making sure that help a cell phone. 01:33:02.060 --> 01:33:07.060 No, they're not going to get free entry and they're really relying on this black bit and they'll use it for the remainder of this half. 01:33:07.060 --> 01:33:12.660 I don't know why they banned away the solid snake. I would have just taken the blackbeard off the floor and forced them maybe into Blitz 01:33:13.060 --> 01:33:16.480 Which is then a bit more hyper aggression compared to the safer blackbeard 01:33:17.260 --> 01:33:20.700 And so credit to help us all of her. They're making full advantage of that 01:33:22.020 --> 01:33:25.900 And they're very pretty decent pressure at the moment so they're playing the front line of the blackbeard 01:33:25.900 --> 01:33:29.740 But midi elsewhere drops Demik trying to support his shield 01:33:29.740 --> 01:33:33.740 They're not particularly eager to peel. 01:33:33.740 --> 01:33:35.740 I like this aggression, they're not backing down. 01:33:35.740 --> 01:33:40.740 They're forcing these placement with that comes the risk of the clear and Nears the victim of that. 01:33:40.740 --> 01:33:43.740 Midi still has not peeled back. 01:33:43.740 --> 01:33:45.740 Okay, finally forced out. 01:33:45.740 --> 01:33:48.740 I mean, it's a good sand ship on offer for both teams in this round. 01:33:48.740 --> 01:33:52.740 So in the most competitive round we've had so far and a good patch down below. 01:33:52.740 --> 01:33:54.740 Onto Midi for Munseung. 01:33:54.740 --> 01:33:55.740 This is better for me, help us. 01:33:55.740 --> 01:34:01.420 Again, really much better and there wasn't really much for Niers to do. That's just a wonderful shot from Levy 01:34:01.420 --> 01:34:05.360 Niers was like well he got fragmented, but then he's gonna be forced down to the open and probably dead 01:34:05.740 --> 01:34:11.060 So just one of those kind of predicaments and then Jinsen catches the timing on Mini pushing down library stairs 01:34:11.060 --> 01:34:13.900 It's because they're just more active and involved so far on charlotte 01:34:13.900 --> 01:34:19.540 Which is why we're seeing these rounds look far more competitive 3v3 under a minute left winnable for both teams 01:34:19.980 --> 01:34:21.980 And these are gonna be the moments now where? 01:34:21.980 --> 01:34:28.460 Your life in kickoff is determined. You drop these sort of rounds, help us LFO, then you're 3-1 down, and then 01:34:29.060 --> 01:34:32.200 Again, the doubt starts to creep back in. They've got to find a way to convert here 01:34:35.300 --> 01:34:43.580 The fuser in the hands of Soldier, Harper in support, essentially a 1v3 if this plant attempt is to go down 01:34:44.220 --> 01:34:48.180 And you can see he's in an awkward spot trying to progress, trying to find a pep 01:34:48.180 --> 01:34:53.500 U2 Dump Deep will allow the plant to go down, but Soldier and Hopper both so low on HP. 01:34:55.180 --> 01:34:58.860 They're just gonna allow them to get the plant, knowing that Hopper's gonna be covering. 01:34:58.860 --> 01:35:01.380 Falls then pushes up with extra numbers. 01:35:01.380 --> 01:35:04.980 Soldier got a kill. It cannot give him the 1v1 skill, especially in the Blackbeard. 01:35:04.980 --> 01:35:07.820 Trying to find a way to corral him in the corner, and as he went to pop up, 01:35:07.820 --> 01:35:10.820 the numbers prevail for D-plus, because Soldier hit his shots. 01:35:10.820 --> 01:35:15.460 It will be 3-1. Again, more competitiveness and better from Hopper's LFO. 01:35:15.460 --> 01:35:20.740 But it's not netting them the round wins in the last two rounds and but this is where you can look at the scoreboard and say 01:35:20.740 --> 01:35:22.580 What's three ones D plus? 01:35:22.580 --> 01:35:27.220 Probably could have been three one to help us out of phone. You couldn't say that on the opening map 01:35:29.380 --> 01:35:31.820 No, yeah, these are the competitive round 01:35:31.820 --> 01:35:38.340 I think again probably in that transition period towards plant they may have played a little differently where they routed the diffuser 01:35:38.820 --> 01:35:44.780 They carried a pretty high risk taking that early engagement as opposed to forcing plant and then maybe playing for retake 01:35:44.780 --> 01:35:50.380 straight off the bat. I like what we saw there on the library clear though. Again, D plus 01:35:50.380 --> 01:35:55.180 key error. I don't want to frame it as disrespectful, but they are playing maybe a little more 01:35:55.180 --> 01:35:59.900 aggressive against this attack than they would against a stronger opponent in the sense that 01:35:59.900 --> 01:36:04.420 they're not healing with a lot of conviction. They're willing to kind of hold their ground 01:36:04.420 --> 01:36:09.740 until the very last minute when they are, you know, 99% confident they absolutely must 01:36:09.740 --> 01:36:12.700 move. But up to that point, they're like, okay, I'm playing here and I'm like giving up this 01:36:12.700 --> 01:36:18.100 position at all costs. And that has obviously worked well for them generally over the course 01:36:18.100 --> 01:36:22.080 of the series, but it carries a bit of risk and Hapasello Fuego would eventually break 01:36:22.080 --> 01:36:30.580 that down, but in the late round, unfortunately, letting them down back in round number four. 01:36:30.580 --> 01:36:36.420 And so into the fifth, it feels like once more, I mean, two more opportunities now for 01:36:36.420 --> 01:36:41.580 Hapasello Fuego to find that second round and to remain competitive here in Chalet in 01:36:41.580 --> 01:36:42.580 the series as a whole. 01:36:42.580 --> 01:36:58.860 My concern is though you go back to that KineTrope game and help us LFO and they got 01:36:58.860 --> 01:37:02.700 the one defensive round themselves so they were very susceptible on the defense. 01:37:02.700 --> 01:37:07.780 Again it's a different series, a different day, it might be different today but it's 01:37:07.780 --> 01:37:13.300 It's still a reference point to make note of. 01:37:13.300 --> 01:37:16.800 And even against BRX, they gave up three attacking rounds. 01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:21.840 So where we already now sit with this 3-1 scoreline suggests to me that D-plus will 01:37:21.840 --> 01:37:25.720 be very difficult to beat in the second half, and they'll get attacking rounds. 01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:27.800 Big opening kills from half-up. 01:37:27.800 --> 01:37:31.160 And again, they've had a lot of opening kills in the series as a whole. 01:37:31.160 --> 01:37:32.460 They had the three back on land. 01:37:32.460 --> 01:37:33.960 This will be their third on Chalet. 01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:38.660 They just don't have the ways to convert lovely double kill low again for D plus 01:37:39.780 --> 01:37:42.380 It just keeps happening. It's just time and time again 01:37:43.020 --> 01:37:48.340 They get the opening pick help us all a vote and they don't have any ways then to compound on that advantage 01:37:52.420 --> 01:37:56.620 And the rest of the attack sure only to follow up from that early pressure in the meantime 01:37:56.620 --> 01:37:56.980 Love you 01:37:56.980 --> 01:38:02.060 He did a really phenomenal job staying alive earlier and backing it towards closer opening up that opportunity for boozy 01:38:02.060 --> 01:38:10.060 of those players now have been able to escape, essentially unharmed. 01:38:10.060 --> 01:38:14.560 There'll now be an opportunity for the defense to anchor on the side, they have 01:38:14.560 --> 01:38:19.060 nitro to play up, hence this McGoy-Youtzel midi-confirmed info. 01:38:19.060 --> 01:38:25.060 Not immediately of course, I'll hold to a buff for now, and look to exploit this 01:38:25.060 --> 01:38:28.060 man advantage that they afforded themselves with that really nice extension 01:38:28.060 --> 01:38:32.840 attention over what's sold on a cell phone now, minute on the clock. Again, their problem 01:38:32.840 --> 01:38:36.280 solving is going to be under the microscope. 01:38:36.280 --> 01:38:53.360 Oh, that's a good hold from Demik to just be patient. And Levy provides the opportunity. 01:38:53.360 --> 01:39:02.720 But then every time something goes right for help as LFO, they just lose someone else. 01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:07.520 And I like the patience here for help, there was time on the clock, there still is. 01:39:07.520 --> 01:39:12.700 They had a chance to just play it slow, see if someone presents, they got that with Levy. 01:39:12.700 --> 01:39:16.640 Then losing Yin Sang means that they don't go into this 3v3, had they been able to do 01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:21.480 so, you can flood this site, you can split off Midi who's not inside, double bar stock 01:39:21.480 --> 01:39:22.480 hold. 01:39:22.480 --> 01:39:26.040 You've got Capitao, you've got Smokes, they had the Flash, but in a 2v3 it's a lot more 01:39:26.040 --> 01:39:27.440 difficult to do that. 01:39:27.440 --> 01:39:32.160 Now they've completely run out of time, they get surrounded, they had to worry about the 01:39:32.160 --> 01:39:36.680 solace coming in from dining, they knew that if they pushed in they're going to get pinched, 01:39:36.680 --> 01:39:42.080 they can't really get and clear out Barstock for free, they didn't have a lot of options, 01:39:42.080 --> 01:39:46.520 and it's 4-1 in favour of D-plus gear, 3 rounds away from knocking out Hulk Percelli 01:39:46.520 --> 01:39:47.520 Fo. 01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:55.720 Yeah, so close yet so far in a couple of rounds here on chalet tactical timeout has been called 01:39:55.720 --> 01:40:06.760 presumably by half a cell if I may be the most logical prediction. Yeah, they just continue to 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:10.880 find themselves in okay positions. I wouldn't say that at least not last time we're particularly 01:40:10.880 --> 01:40:14.640 strong. The map clear was a little inefficient and then they're playing from a player down, 01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:17.440 they showed some good patience, it's a pretty good result in the mid-round and then 01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:22.080 unfortunately as they then transition in towards execute where they had the smokes to play off, 01:40:22.080 --> 01:40:26.080 it had some flashes, they had several options available to them, they could have tried to split 01:40:26.080 --> 01:40:30.000 backstories, you were kind of alluding to, but being a player down meant that they didn't kind of 01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:35.360 have that extra body to throw and with the kind of composure and structure that D plus Kio have 01:40:35.360 --> 01:40:43.360 been playing with today, it's been very difficult to unsettle them and so playing at a disadvantage 01:40:43.360 --> 01:40:47.120 makes it really tough late-round when those strong positions are being held to 01:40:47.120 --> 01:40:52.600 force a mistake and force their hands so look full credit to D plus K up then 01:40:52.600 --> 01:41:00.360 doing what they need to and as we enclose towards the the roll swapped 01:41:00.360 --> 01:41:04.200 there in such a good position once again 01:41:13.360 --> 01:41:27.480 I've already kind of pointed out I mean there's even getting the second attacking around it 01:41:27.480 --> 01:41:35.880 still doesn't quite well unless suddenly today help us become a defensive juggernaut on on 01:41:35.880 --> 01:41:41.880 chalet which I just struggled to see that happening chalet is a good map for attacking 01:41:41.880 --> 01:41:46.480 teams you get plenty of opportunities on pretty much all the sites like again 01:41:46.480 --> 01:41:51.640 defense will usually statistically be more likely but the opportunities there 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:55.360 and I think D plus care they're kind of team that will be able to take the most 01:41:55.360 --> 01:42:01.800 of those opportunities. Go back to kitchen and dining for the final time this 01:42:01.800 --> 01:42:09.280 half. My basement, basement is a site that you're probably seeing a little bit 01:42:09.280 --> 01:42:15.080 less and less of it's I would consider it like a flex sight some teams like it 01:42:15.080 --> 01:42:19.600 and set up well on it how the teams prefer to avoid it 01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:25.160 yeah it's only been played six times globally in the last couple of weeks 01:42:25.160 --> 01:42:32.000 bad to high 50s to 60s for most of the other sites so compared to where it 01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:36.600 probably used to sit I think in the metaphor shall I say it's also been 01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:42.600 1-5 out of the six times by attack. So it's pretty poor to defend at the moment. 01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:51.600 Just not one target available for Yunsang. 01:42:51.600 --> 01:42:56.600 Ryder is going to look up library stairs and they're going to try and see if they can pinch someone, 01:42:56.600 --> 01:43:01.600 but there's no one really there. They credit to D plus in the way that they've kind of set up in this round. 01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:05.600 They're not going to provide a lot of opportunities and then Demi is just down immediately. 01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:19.000 Again, they're just so proactive and so aggressive on the front-line of your D-plus 01:43:19.000 --> 01:43:22.260 key and not shying away from these fights and they're not wanting to fall from the ground 01:43:22.260 --> 01:43:23.260 all too easily. 01:43:23.260 --> 01:43:25.780 We'll see if that does change a little bit here. 01:43:25.780 --> 01:43:30.220 Given the early advantage, and they can play a safe backline position over the board, solo 01:43:30.220 --> 01:43:31.900 as you can see currently, it is a freeze. 01:43:31.900 --> 01:43:37.980 who to split from the defense and they do need to be cautious of the black bid 01:43:37.980 --> 01:43:43.740 especially in this round. Leverie in office, half wall position and his exit 01:43:43.740 --> 01:43:48.340 is covered. Well played. 45 seconds though on the clock and so immediately the 01:43:48.340 --> 01:43:51.980 discussion quickly pivots towards the clock once again and can help us 01:43:51.980 --> 01:44:08.940 Salafo from a position that looks decent actually convert around 25 seconds left for v3 been 01:44:08.940 --> 01:44:13.820 in this position before helpers Salafo haven't had the capabilities of winning rounds such 01:44:13.820 --> 01:44:19.340 as this legs shot out of soldier nears will fall back and they can very much now just 01:44:19.340 --> 01:44:23.480 play the site itself because help us out of phone if you keep one above you're 01:44:23.480 --> 01:44:27.420 gonna have the two inside you just completely outnumbered soldier goes 01:44:27.420 --> 01:44:31.460 down that's get on the floor for the half is coming to an end at least it's 01:44:31.460 --> 01:44:37.100 not six nothing but five one isn't a whole lot better for help us LFO is D 01:44:37.100 --> 01:44:41.060 plus care two rounds away from knocking them out 01:44:49.340 --> 01:44:54.140 more like a halo my conscious punish me for the past while I was out there trying to ball bet 01:44:54.140 --> 01:44:58.780 you seen through the mask hope I ain't being brash if I say you could have split it with me girl you 01:44:58.780 --> 01:45:02.780 with see riches with me if you stuck around through the brass my motivation is that it's 01:45:02.780 --> 01:45:07.420 different I mostly be to myself and I want to spoil a couple things I prayed for and was gifted 01:45:07.420 --> 01:45:11.500 just keep the drive see how I stayed in my lane when they shipped it I knew that time cannot erase 01:45:11.500 --> 01:45:16.140 what my destiny's written right there next to these written in my skin in my DNA like the one 01:45:16.140 --> 01:45:19.140 I'm not that brave and I'm what life is the only decision 01:45:19.140 --> 01:45:22.140 I'm not alone in my plate, I want you alone for the flight 01:45:22.140 --> 01:45:24.140 About to take off in a minute 01:45:24.140 --> 01:45:26.140 Black dream little, changed by my lifestyle 01:45:26.140 --> 01:45:29.140 New money, nice house, I claim it up 01:45:29.140 --> 01:45:31.140 Yeah, that seems a little, oh I'm game really 01:45:31.140 --> 01:45:34.140 Only I'm thinking of, that my sleep 01:45:34.140 --> 01:45:37.140 I see new scenes of a, just you need to breathe 01:45:37.140 --> 01:45:40.140 No strings to cut, but I don't know what you want 01:45:40.140 --> 01:45:43.140 You taking off, it makes me wrong 01:45:43.140 --> 01:45:44.520 Man, is it been too long? 01:45:44.520 --> 01:45:46.100 Yeah, yeah, still I got my eyes on the ground 01:45:46.100 --> 01:45:47.940 and they'll see cycles turn to vision 01:45:47.940 --> 01:45:50.300 If I got comas missing, I don't know who might come up missing 01:45:50.300 --> 01:45:51.860 I don't know who gon' be there through it 01:45:51.860 --> 01:45:54.580 Thought you were that one time that got proven not to be so true 01:45:54.580 --> 01:45:57.340 I got left halfway out, my mind had to get to some things 01:45:57.340 --> 01:46:00.020 Rearranging what really matter, cute casual fleas 01:46:00.020 --> 01:46:02.740 Set the goal and some netting that they had to take a risk 01:46:02.740 --> 01:46:04.140 Bet on me, cause that's what it will 01:46:04.140 --> 01:46:06.900 Before you fantasize it on you should dream of a better self 01:46:06.900 --> 01:46:07.740 And that's for real 01:46:07.740 --> 01:46:10.460 I dream, bitch, I'm a tank, I'm a lifestyle 01:46:10.460 --> 01:46:12.460 I 01:46:40.460 --> 01:46:47.420 I'm not too sure. There's much longer to go in this one. D plus Kier 5-1 up on the second map and making pretty quick work of 01:46:47.820 --> 01:46:53.020 their opponents, Helper-Salo-Fo, have looked more competitive. I think you can confidently say that, guys. 01:46:53.540 --> 01:46:59.260 Again, they split the opening kills 3-3 in the half. They got the plant down once. They had a multi-kill round. 01:47:00.340 --> 01:47:06.200 But I don't know if it's worth. It's still four rounds straight to D plus, 5-1 in the half. 01:47:06.700 --> 01:47:09.580 So they're a couple of those rounds. I think Helper-Salo-Fo 01:47:10.460 --> 01:47:15.740 had far more of an opportunity to get some wins on the board. And if everything had have gone 01:47:15.740 --> 01:47:20.780 absolutely right for them, maybe a three, three half could have been on the cards. And we would 01:47:20.780 --> 01:47:25.820 have been talking about the second half very differently. But fair to say this one is looking 01:47:25.820 --> 01:47:34.220 pretty much done. Yeah, I can't help but shake the same feeling. It feels like this is a formality 01:47:34.220 --> 01:47:41.340 from this point onwards, D plus Kia will be looking onwards to that next match of the day 01:47:41.340 --> 01:47:47.600 for the winner of these two in the form of SCARs and I think of D plus Kia complete this 01:47:47.600 --> 01:47:51.380 level of aggression and confidence against SCARs and something that's going to translate 01:47:51.380 --> 01:47:56.220 to as dominant of a result but I certainly think it's going to be a tough game for SCARs 01:47:56.220 --> 01:48:02.860 actually and I'm excited for that one later in the day. Of course we are speaking on the 01:48:02.860 --> 01:48:08.140 assumption that D plus K or D go on to win this match but I think it would be a pretty bold prediction to 01:48:08.780 --> 01:48:13.980 think otherwise based on what we have seen so far. My helpers Alaphaux have just not quite 01:48:13.980 --> 01:48:20.780 been able to click inside all the servers so far today. They now have defense. We'll see if they can 01:48:20.780 --> 01:48:27.420 do something special here and bring this one back. Its office as the first site of choice and the bands 01:48:27.420 --> 01:48:30.060 for the second half mirror denari grim and yin 01:48:40.700 --> 01:48:44.780 and we have the two maps in combined 18 and two 01:48:45.740 --> 01:48:48.060 are falls two deaths wow 01:48:48.060 --> 01:48:58.720 Well, music has obviously not been as impactful on Shenlai as he was on Le'er where he had 01:48:58.720 --> 01:49:06.420 11 and 2 on the map of Le'er, but Falls has been sensational across both of the maps. 01:49:06.420 --> 01:49:10.660 There's not a lot of positivity when you kind of look at the numbers for the helper cell 01:49:10.660 --> 01:49:17.460 of the players, the best has been Soldier 811-00 entry, but still only a 38% cost. 01:49:17.460 --> 01:49:22.860 So here's the defense, can they string a couple of rounds together to start the second half 01:49:22.860 --> 01:49:29.700 and see if they can fight to the end. 01:49:29.700 --> 01:49:34.780 Everything though, statistically across previous maps and what we've seen in this series does 01:49:34.780 --> 01:49:40.060 suggests that they're very unlikely to come back and win this map. 01:49:40.060 --> 01:49:48.500 Clear from you, the same music continues to shuggle here on Chalet 25 now for what was 01:49:48.500 --> 01:49:52.780 the standout back on layer and the standout in their loss against CAG. 01:49:52.780 --> 01:49:57.460 This has been his his worst map for a while and maybe even his worst map since joining 01:49:57.460 --> 01:49:58.460 this team. 01:49:58.460 --> 01:50:03.460 Luckily he's got very competent team mates though to carry the load. 01:50:03.460 --> 01:50:06.460 Neers is in towards library on the Monty. 01:50:09.460 --> 01:50:12.460 And half past now, we'll begin to appeal back. 01:50:12.460 --> 01:50:16.460 It's not as contesting maybe as heavily as we've seen from D plus K.O. who have 01:50:16.460 --> 01:50:20.460 typically been really forced out of position, whereas this time half past on the foe. 01:50:20.460 --> 01:50:27.460 Again with the main advantage that's understandably so, we'll appeal back a little more cautiously. 01:50:27.460 --> 01:50:33.380 In the meantime, Levy's been able to pivot below three targets available for him on the 01:50:33.380 --> 01:50:34.380 Deimos. 01:50:34.380 --> 01:50:38.820 He looks like a bit of a wild card in this round, so he's down below it on the tube around 01:50:38.820 --> 01:50:42.620 Nitro in pocket. 01:50:42.620 --> 01:50:46.100 Maybe in anticipation for a late solo pivot or perhaps something of a what's true. 01:50:46.100 --> 01:50:49.180 If he's in the meantime, Niers does tease Plant. 01:50:49.180 --> 01:50:53.380 Forstoff though, last gasp, last gasp, from Soldier, used and Niers has been able to find 01:50:53.380 --> 01:50:55.620 a pocket of space to maybe get the kit down. 01:50:55.620 --> 01:50:56.620 No contest. 01:50:56.620 --> 01:50:58.620 Oh, you're nitrousized by the yellow. 01:50:58.620 --> 01:50:59.620 Yeah, I get it. 01:50:59.620 --> 01:51:04.620 Big from Harper, but still, you're nitrousized not anywhere close to this, so it's still going to go up anyway. 01:51:04.620 --> 01:51:10.620 At least they got the kill off the falls, and Levy 2 goes down to you insane because it came up from Basement. 01:51:10.620 --> 01:51:13.620 I think he's completely caught Levy off guard. 01:51:13.620 --> 01:51:21.620 And so it's a 2v5 post-plant retake, but everyone's low on health to help us out of the fight, except for Demik, and Demik's the one that dies. 01:51:21.620 --> 01:51:27.540 This might be the most winnable 2v5 retake attempt that I've ever seen for the attacking 01:51:27.540 --> 01:51:28.540 team. 01:51:28.540 --> 01:51:32.460 Cause you can't just throw your bodies here, blindly, in a rush. 01:51:32.460 --> 01:51:36.420 They do get the kill on Taneer's midi, does he have an angle? 01:51:36.420 --> 01:51:40.900 One up close, Harper's on for the kit and they just got enough bodies to throw. 01:51:40.900 --> 01:51:45.100 All that was still close for help of Salafo, and they do get their second round. 01:51:45.100 --> 01:51:50.900 Yeah, a little dicey, I think they composed themselves really, really nicely. 01:51:50.900 --> 01:51:54.700 Planted our I think and good stall out the first was 01:51:55.140 --> 01:51:59.960 Exercise by the smoke that was good a good job from him at the gaspabe and then the follow-up 01:51:59.960 --> 01:52:03.940 Allo as well just brought it in addition a bit of time and maybe unsettled the attack a little bit and 01:52:04.280 --> 01:52:06.800 They didn't just sit there and still out the defense 01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:10.080 They then got proactive found a couple of picks and yes, sure the plant went down 01:52:10.080 --> 01:52:15.640 But they had that a strong man count to have it a flood overwhelm and retake down below our shadows 01:52:15.640 --> 01:52:17.640 What's he you didn't say in playing that sir? 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:21.900 Awkward position below he was able to hit a good flank and have impact in the round as well 01:52:22.560 --> 01:52:26.920 And so yeah overall the playmaking there from help us a little foe was I get some of the better 01:52:26.920 --> 01:52:28.920 We have seen throughout this series 01:52:28.920 --> 01:52:33.760 And so there might be a bit of life in this second half as they continue their march on defense 01:52:39.400 --> 01:52:44.240 Yeah, and immediately half it just goes over the clash they know the D plus are gonna want to play into the Monty 01:52:47.640 --> 01:52:55.720 And it's a bar game for the eighth round. Interesting lineup. They've got the catch 01:52:55.720 --> 01:53:03.160 utility with the ADSes from Ryder. Yunsang will play pulse in basement. It does mean 01:53:03.160 --> 01:53:07.960 though that when you bring a lineup such as this, it's not that full, anchor heavy sort 01:53:07.960 --> 01:53:13.680 of lineup. Not a lot of real trap utility. In fact, there's not really any kind of trap 01:53:13.680 --> 01:53:17.240 utility in contrast to what we saw in the D-plus gear on the same site. They've brought 01:53:17.240 --> 01:53:21.080 the goya they put the ally they thought the lesion put a lot more of that trap 01:53:21.080 --> 01:53:25.520 utility they could be a little susceptible here if they catch a good 01:53:25.520 --> 01:53:29.560 timing they get an early pick you and sang stuck in basement 01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:34.080 Demik will need to be very cautious with how he uses a lot of this gas babe 01:53:34.080 --> 01:53:38.600 utility he's he's sitting bastard this needs to be saved late round can't use it 01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:42.640 early the rider trying to contest drops down immediately gets nothing a big 01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:45.880 window so when you kind of look at library it's already completely 01:53:45.880 --> 01:53:51.160 vulnerable. Soldiers playing mezz, and so it's like, well, can you deal with the clash? 01:53:51.160 --> 01:53:54.840 If you get on, there you go, perfect. I mean, almost got the kill opportunity on to Harpo. 01:53:54.840 --> 01:53:59.160 He's back for showing. Now he can sit tucked in. It's a small little win for Halper cell 01:53:59.160 --> 01:54:02.200 of focus. He probably should have been dead there, and that would have just given the round over. 01:54:04.200 --> 01:54:07.400 Yeah, we'll see if they can dump the utility required to clear the clash. 01:54:07.400 --> 01:54:11.000 Actually, Harpo will drop in the meantime, so probably not wanting to take that risk. 01:54:11.000 --> 01:54:19.500 There enough is posed and fortify a position now in towards the objective with that shield or 01:54:19.500 --> 01:54:27.000 even rotate it elsewhere. Maybe just respecting the utility ability of DPSC here and wanting to 01:54:27.000 --> 01:54:32.280 prioritize that for the later on. There's one gas pipe left there guys, no nitrosols, no utility. 01:54:32.280 --> 01:54:34.560 So they're a little susceptible to big window 01:54:39.920 --> 01:54:44.520 Especially at the rest of the factor onto the clash and say half his position now is pretty compromised to fly 01:54:49.160 --> 01:54:54.160 Still a minute to good amount of time looking to clear out mez from a different angle of approach 01:54:54.160 --> 01:54:58.920 Demik though gets the kill on the call soldier can't win his battle wonderful pistol from niz 01:54:58.920 --> 01:55:05.360 He's just a 2v3 after the exchanging gunfights, the clash and Monty both dealt with, but the 01:55:05.360 --> 01:55:07.760 numbers are with help with Salafo. 01:55:07.760 --> 01:55:10.400 And you'd say he's actually a piano, he can get a good backwards flank here. 01:55:10.400 --> 01:55:15.080 I don't think D plus are aware of this at all, and he does indeed get the headshot on 01:55:15.080 --> 01:55:17.360 to Muzie, and that should be the round. 01:55:17.360 --> 01:55:20.800 That's going to make it too straight for help with Salafo, and let's let him pull 01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:21.800 off the 1v3. 01:55:21.800 --> 01:55:24.120 He's got 30 seconds to do so. 01:55:24.120 --> 01:55:32.640 should be a pretty simple clean up here for the defense and there we go help 01:55:32.640 --> 01:55:37.560 us a lot for able to get the job done over towards barb yeah well played round 01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:42.040 Harper especially I think it was a little risky for him to pivot as early as he 01:55:42.040 --> 01:55:45.920 did from the library tuck position but he was able to then reestablish control 01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:48.600 over its top library stairs and then despite being hard counted by the 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:52.480 Thatcher and he should actually having limited impact in that regard he was 01:55:52.480 --> 01:55:57.120 still able to value it to the point where he finds that multi and ultimately 01:55:57.120 --> 01:56:00.720 yeah sure traded out but he afforded his team the advantage made that clear 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:05.640 really awkward for D plus Kiyot as we catch the tail end of that little 01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:10.680 double from him and it was critical because the Monty was on a bit of a 01:56:10.680 --> 01:56:14.600 rampage that round but yeah he did a really really good job enabled that 01:56:14.600 --> 01:56:17.320 flight potential as well if it was needed but ultimately not the case with 01:56:17.320 --> 01:56:24.360 good anchor work on the objective. So it's back to back for help us have a 01:56:24.360 --> 01:56:28.640 vote. Tertiary site though given the context of the scoreboard is a necessity 01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:35.320 so let's see if this is a serious comeback or if it's going to wane here on 01:56:35.320 --> 01:56:40.800 round up now. Yeah I mean I think that they started really well in the second 01:56:40.800 --> 01:56:45.240 half and that's all you can really ask of them. I'm opposed to the questions 01:56:45.240 --> 01:56:49.680 regarding their defensive capabilities, just based on their previous matches of 01:56:49.680 --> 01:56:54.480 Chalet, against Kienatrope and DRX. And so they've already kind of improved upon 01:56:54.480 --> 01:56:59.800 those games. At least it's a good showing, it's a good sign. But they've also had the 01:56:59.800 --> 01:57:03.240 the early advantages in both of these two rounds. So what happens if someone gets 01:57:03.240 --> 01:57:07.320 picked early and then what happens if it becomes a 5v3, they're very susceptible. 01:57:07.320 --> 01:57:10.920 So you've got to stay locked in. You don't have margin for error because you gave 01:57:10.920 --> 01:57:14.760 up the five rounds in the first half. You still two rounds behind D-plus. D-plus 01:57:14.760 --> 01:57:19.240 still in a need one more round, but at least just book in overtime. So they're still in 01:57:19.240 --> 01:57:24.000 a pretty comfortable position where they can just go for a fast hit, try an over one, help 01:57:24.000 --> 01:57:28.440 us out a little bit on the side, and that's what they're going to do here. Pinch is right 01:57:28.440 --> 01:57:32.040 in the blitz, straight into kitchen for Niers. He's done really well to survive for this 01:57:32.040 --> 01:57:35.520 long, and he's getting the benefit of that now because his teammates are helping and 01:57:35.520 --> 01:57:38.400 getting kills. Midnight then gets rid of Harper. Niers can go for the point inside 01:57:38.400 --> 01:57:42.800 a kitchen, the fast kit, early on in this night's round. Seems like it'll pay off for 01:57:42.800 --> 01:57:45.200 D-class care help us all if it weren't ready for it 01:57:45.200 --> 01:57:46.400 They wanted to play their game 01:57:46.400 --> 01:57:51.580 They wanted to play the delay game and hope that D-plus would play into it and D-plus just gone through the front door 01:57:52.240 --> 01:57:53.920 Yeah 01:57:53.920 --> 01:58:01.320 Love that approach leveraging the blitz to the five post plant position. It is looking almost impossible 01:58:02.320 --> 01:58:04.320 And it should be flawless 01:58:06.920 --> 01:58:12.240 Yunsang has been pretty decent here on shall a but this is absolutely beyond his limit 01:58:13.440 --> 01:58:15.280 D plus Kia 01:58:15.280 --> 01:58:20.580 One step closer to winning the series. I love the shot call here on the tertiary site 01:58:21.120 --> 01:58:25.420 And help us out of foe their slow start in the first half is coming back to bite them 01:58:25.580 --> 01:58:30.640 Yeah, I mean, that's a really good round from D plus K and as you said, it's just a call. It's a set play 01:58:30.640 --> 01:58:35.560 We're gonna do this. We're gonna execute it and they've done it really well. That was a 01:58:36.760 --> 01:58:42.400 Really solid round from D plus kid because they and then they got kind of forced into playing and doing something like that 01:58:42.400 --> 01:58:45.280 where they had to go into the strap book and say, all right, let's let's try this. 01:58:45.640 --> 01:58:47.960 Because the first two rounds just weren't working, playing the more 01:58:47.960 --> 01:58:51.000 conventional default kind of style, playing into what help us, other fellow 01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:54.120 were doing, help us, other fellow were matching it, matching them and 01:58:54.920 --> 01:58:56.480 coming up better in the first two rounds. 01:58:56.480 --> 01:59:01.160 So they kind of try to dictate the round themselves because they were losing 01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:03.800 based on what the defense was providing. 01:59:04.080 --> 01:59:06.200 So this time they're like, we're going to do what we want to do. 01:59:06.280 --> 01:59:07.040 If it works great. 01:59:07.040 --> 01:59:10.560 If it doesn't, well, it is what it is, but we're going to try to be the ones 01:59:10.560 --> 01:59:12.280 to change the course of the round. 01:59:12.400 --> 01:59:14.980 the solace in the lion bands master bedroom and 01:59:15.760 --> 01:59:21.840 Office coming up for what could be the final round of this series six three lead for D plus they get three series points 01:59:21.960 --> 01:59:23.960 To knock out help us all a foe 01:59:25.320 --> 01:59:29.560 And and kind of came out of nowhere too because we haven't seen blitz play 01:59:30.320 --> 01:59:37.320 In the series except for a single round back on there, which was from help us a little so it wasn't even from D plus 01:59:37.320 --> 01:59:39.320 Kia they haven't played blitz at all 01:59:39.400 --> 01:59:42.380 so the I think that catches help 01:59:42.400 --> 01:59:47.000 to help us all a throw off guard, a deep loss of lent more into the Monty game, a little 01:59:47.000 --> 01:59:51.240 bit more of that slower pace they haven't, they themselves either being all that aggressive 01:59:51.240 --> 01:59:54.080 and fast paced and going for a set play like that. 01:59:54.080 --> 01:59:58.400 So when you don't do it at all, you finally bring it out and you execute it so quickly 01:59:58.400 --> 02:00:01.720 and there's no time to help us all a throw to really figure out what's going on and 02:00:01.720 --> 02:00:03.560 how we counter this. 02:00:03.560 --> 02:00:08.200 And then add in what was, you know, a really good play as well from Niers on the Blitz 02:00:08.200 --> 02:00:13.460 to just survive the amount of content coming his way, the guard breaks, the shots, that 02:00:13.460 --> 02:00:17.900 solidified the round and well deservedly the D plus kill. 02:00:17.900 --> 02:00:29.500 Well, can they get the job done here? 02:00:29.500 --> 02:00:30.500 Round ten. 02:00:30.500 --> 02:00:35.020 It certainly feels like an inevitability at this point. 02:00:35.020 --> 02:00:41.340 Also a case of when not if D plus Ki can book that ticket against scars in the 02:00:41.340 --> 02:00:46.620 lower bracket semi-final for what should be a very competitive match. Maybe not a 02:00:46.620 --> 02:00:49.420 soldier can have something to say about it finds the opener Harper as well 02:00:49.420 --> 02:00:54.060 getting on the action of Niez is low on HP on the side D plus Ki up. 02:00:54.060 --> 02:00:59.220 Does still find a kill on the inside and the soldier is low on HP. Niez has the 02:00:59.220 --> 02:01:04.020 protection of his shield as well which keeps this round a little interesting. 02:01:04.020 --> 02:01:16.420 susceptible to the smoke of course and so Nia's has to be patient again it's the 02:01:16.420 --> 02:01:19.780 one takeaway for helpers on this map they've been really good in the opening 02:01:19.780 --> 02:01:23.540 kills D plus have been a bit careless with their entries on the attack and 02:01:23.540 --> 02:01:27.980 they were a little susceptible on the defense too giving up three opening 02:01:27.980 --> 02:01:32.660 kills to the opposition if there's something to take away from this map 02:01:32.660 --> 02:01:36.940 Yeah, we don't lose with the D plus care certainly gonna be their entries 02:01:38.980 --> 02:01:41.440 With a lot of time remaining in this round though 02:01:41.440 --> 02:01:46.180 So they can slow the pace down trying to keep me as up on the Monty allowing to push forward later in the round 02:01:46.620 --> 02:01:48.620 That's a lot this wing from music 02:01:48.940 --> 02:01:50.980 He stays alive as well one HP 02:01:51.580 --> 02:01:53.940 Quite literally retreats back in towards library 02:01:54.420 --> 02:01:59.580 He and me is very low on health heads all over from music is exquisite. He started to five 02:01:59.580 --> 02:02:03.240 He's now six and six. He's come alive late in the PC on Chalet 02:02:03.640 --> 02:02:05.960 The nears will fall so no more Monty 02:02:06.560 --> 02:02:12.320 Falls who's been the MVP of the series though still alive and full health but music has come back to life 02:02:12.680 --> 02:02:14.680 right up by himself 02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:17.840 To keep helper Salafo in kickoff 02:02:18.320 --> 02:02:21.860 He's only got the two kills to his name so far on Chalet 02:02:21.860 --> 02:02:27.840 But he needs to double it up with 40 seconds left to push you'll get aggressive catches music prone up close 02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:29.980 So falls will not miss you shots 02:02:31.360 --> 02:02:39.480 Helper cell if oh are out of kickoff as deep plus care will book their date against scars later this evening 02:02:39.840 --> 02:02:41.840 In the quest of running the lower bracket 02:02:44.200 --> 02:02:49.240 Well, that's the the deep plus care that we've come to know a lot of here in 02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:53.400 The APL a much better return to form from them 02:02:53.400 --> 02:02:58.120 and then I think again tying in with the storyline that their earlier performance against CIG 02:02:58.120 --> 02:03:02.360 not a reflection of where this team is really at and I think they've now set themselves 02:03:02.360 --> 02:03:07.720 up with a really strong platform to go on through this lower bracket, make a run and 02:03:07.720 --> 02:03:12.680 that matchup against SCARZ later today I'm sure is going to be a really, really competitive 02:03:12.680 --> 02:03:13.680 one. 02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:14.680 Yeah, it certainly will be. 02:03:14.680 --> 02:03:15.680 I can't wait for that. 02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:18.880 Of course we'll have the upper bracket final before it. 02:03:18.880 --> 02:03:24.080 The D plus Kia, I think they'll be very happy with the series as a whole. They were incredibly 02:03:24.080 --> 02:03:30.360 dominant on layer seven, nothing, zero mistakes, gave help us out of very little look in shall 02:03:30.360 --> 02:03:34.720 I. Okay, a little bit more of a contest, but that was more towards the end of the map. 02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:40.480 They started with that five one lead exquisite defense in that first half. And again, a little 02:03:40.480 --> 02:03:44.800 shake you when it came to maybe their entries. And that was the pathway. I think we'll help 02:03:44.800 --> 02:03:48.480 the seller flow to be competitive in the rounds was getting those early picks and then playing 02:03:48.480 --> 02:03:54.160 off the numbers advantage, but I think the 7-3 scoreline is still the fairest result 02:03:54.160 --> 02:03:57.600 in favour of D-plus. They were far and away the better team in the series, deserve to 02:03:57.600 --> 02:04:03.160 win it out pretty comfortably and for Halper Salafo. Well, an extended break once again 02:04:03.160 --> 02:04:05.560 heading into stage one, they've got some work to do. 02:04:05.560 --> 02:04:11.160 Yeah, unfortunately, it now means that, sure, we still have a South Korean organisation 02:04:11.160 --> 02:04:16.960 in the bracket, but in terms of players inside of the server with Fear X eliminated even 02:04:16.960 --> 02:04:22.420 before help us a little photo. That's now unfortunately South Korea's run done here in the bracket, 02:04:22.420 --> 02:04:27.420 which was a big storyline heading into this match up and a reflection on where the where 02:04:27.420 --> 02:04:30.940 that part of the world is at right now when it comes to Rainbos 6. It's been a really 02:04:30.940 --> 02:04:35.140 rough run for them over the last few months and it seems like that pain is going to continue 02:04:35.140 --> 02:04:40.820 for a little while longer. So hopefully they can bounce back and stage one could be a little 02:04:40.820 --> 02:04:43.820 bit of a different storyline for those guys. 02:04:43.820 --> 02:04:49.740 for D plus now looking ahead. They get the match up against scars later this afternoon. 02:04:49.740 --> 02:04:55.300 Of course, they've not played so far in kickoff, but scars themselves again. I don't think 02:04:55.300 --> 02:05:01.840 they've been C AG level. If that makes sense, right? So I think that they've got every opportunity 02:05:01.840 --> 02:05:05.940 to go into that. It's maybe even the favorites, to be honest. We've got D plus kids coach 02:05:05.940 --> 02:05:12.100 held coming in for a quick chat after their result win against held for cello photo. Welcome 02:05:12.100 --> 02:05:22.100 Congratulations on the win, very dominant on Lair. Were you surprised that they picked that map into you guys after what you've shown on it so far, CAG Results us to you? 02:05:24.100 --> 02:05:37.100 Yeah, we're just... first, hello. And yeah, we're surprised that they picked the map. It's not our worst map, and even after we lost to Kaga, it's not our bad map, you know? 02:05:39.100 --> 02:05:40.100 Yeah, for sure. 02:05:40.100 --> 02:05:44.980 Yeah, cool. I want to look ahead at the the scars matchup that you guys have later today 02:05:45.460 --> 02:05:51.520 How much have you looked into their play style? Do you guys feel like you're well equipped to take down scars? 02:05:53.620 --> 02:05:59.240 Yeah, we're shooting like scars really good and the guys here already play against them 02:05:59.240 --> 02:06:01.240 So they know how to play 02:06:01.540 --> 02:06:05.740 They know their play style too. So I think it will be a good game. I 02:06:05.740 --> 02:06:12.780 I did want to dive a little into that CAG match-hole, especially from a coach's perspective. 02:06:12.780 --> 02:06:17.380 When you lose the way that you guys did, now I felt like a lot of the rounds were still 02:06:17.380 --> 02:06:22.020 competitive and the score lines maybe weren't quite indicative as to how the series really 02:06:22.020 --> 02:06:23.220 played out. 02:06:23.220 --> 02:06:27.740 We spoke to PJ H in an interview earlier today and his view on it was kind of the counter-strattling 02:06:27.740 --> 02:06:28.740 from CAG. 02:06:28.740 --> 02:06:30.740 Is that how you viewed it? 02:06:30.740 --> 02:06:39.060 Yeah, 100% they do a lot of counters, but it happens and it's not our day at this day. 02:06:39.060 --> 02:06:40.900 So that helped them. 02:06:40.900 --> 02:06:43.740 So we're going to have our rematch soon. 02:06:43.740 --> 02:06:45.820 Well, you very well might. 02:06:45.820 --> 02:06:48.660 I'll give you the floor here. 02:06:48.660 --> 02:06:51.980 Anything that you want to say before we let you go? 02:06:51.980 --> 02:06:57.660 Just say thanks to the fans, the people who support us and you can expect a better team 02:06:57.660 --> 02:06:59.660 for us every match. 02:06:59.660 --> 02:07:05.220 Well, we'll see if we can have another chat later this afternoon, hopefully we can chat 02:07:05.220 --> 02:07:06.220 again. 02:07:06.220 --> 02:07:07.220 Howl, thanks for coming on. 02:07:07.220 --> 02:07:08.700 Thank you, thank you guys. 02:07:08.700 --> 02:07:15.900 So, D-plus Kia will have a little break, guys, a couple of hours, I would imagine. 02:07:15.900 --> 02:07:21.820 KineTrope COG will be up next, and then SCARS will now play D-plus Kia later tonight. 02:07:21.820 --> 02:07:29.620 Yeah, we've got a big headline match up next in terms of the two teams from Japan, 02:07:29.620 --> 02:07:35.440 I feel like I've framed a couple of matches over the course of kickoff as maybe be the game of the day and then be flat out 02:07:35.440 --> 02:07:37.880 Wrong, so I want to be very careful given that label 02:07:37.880 --> 02:07:40.980 But I really am hoping that it's going to be a competitive match 02:07:40.980 --> 02:07:47.160 It will surely be more competitive than our first game of the day and APL is a tricky beast to try and predict 02:07:47.160 --> 02:07:48.660 We've all been there before all right 02:07:48.660 --> 02:07:53.620 We're gonna go to a short break when we come back. It's the upper bracket final again a trope versus CAG 02:08:29.620 --> 02:08:58.620 The first team I joined was a team called Sengoku Gaming, which I've been famous for a long time. 02:08:58.620 --> 02:09:02.620 When I was in the first place, I was a famous player. 02:09:02.620 --> 02:09:07.620 I used to say that when I was in the first place and I was going to make my own debut, 02:09:07.620 --> 02:09:09.620 I was very pressured. 02:09:09.620 --> 02:09:15.620 I thought that I could fight, but I did my best. 02:09:15.620 --> 02:09:23.620 The result was a little bad, but I was able to learn a lot from people. 02:09:23.620 --> 02:09:28.620 When I was in Z, I was playing in the amateur league. 02:09:28.620 --> 02:09:32.620 I was having fun, and I felt like I could compete there. 02:09:32.620 --> 02:09:35.620 But because of the RJC competition, 02:09:35.620 --> 02:09:38.620 I was able to fight with myself. 02:09:38.620 --> 02:09:40.620 I was able to become a professional. 02:09:40.620 --> 02:09:42.620 I was impressed. 02:09:42.620 --> 02:09:46.620 I was inspired to become a professional like this. 02:09:46.620 --> 02:09:50.620 Originally, when I was in the RJC, I was working. 02:09:50.620 --> 02:09:53.260 I didn't want to be a pro. 02:09:53.260 --> 02:09:56.180 I thought I'd end up working normally. 02:09:56.180 --> 02:09:58.340 But thanks to the RGAC, 02:09:58.340 --> 02:10:01.740 I was able to win the Guts Gaming that I was good at at the time, 02:10:01.740 --> 02:10:04.100 and I was able to do it in the CIG. 02:10:04.100 --> 02:10:05.020 I was thinking, 02:10:05.020 --> 02:10:08.020 I'd end up living my normal life, 02:10:08.020 --> 02:10:11.140 but I thought I'd just live my life like this. 02:10:11.140 --> 02:10:13.860 But thanks to that result, 02:10:13.860 --> 02:10:16.900 I thought I'd really become a pro. 02:10:16.900 --> 02:10:18.900 I'm not like that to my parents, 02:10:18.900 --> 02:10:20.500 but I'm the opposite. 02:10:20.500 --> 02:10:27.000 I was told that I was going to be an idiot, but I was told that I was going to be a real idiot. 02:10:27.000 --> 02:10:34.000 I was told that I was going to be an idiot, but I was told that I was going to be an idiot. 02:10:34.000 --> 02:10:37.500 But that was the reason I became a pro. 02:10:37.500 --> 02:10:40.000 I realized that the world was the best side. 02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:44.000 If I hadn't been in the RGAC, I wouldn't have been a pro. 02:10:44.000 --> 02:10:47.500 That was a huge off-line performance. 02:10:47.500 --> 02:11:01.300 Compared to the first World Cup, the second time after that was a pressure, but I felt like I had to win. 02:11:01.300 --> 02:11:06.300 It was an Atlanta or a Brazil or an England major. 02:11:06.300 --> 02:11:13.300 It was all about the atmosphere of the first time I saw it. 02:11:13.300 --> 02:11:19.300 It was about the pressure and the excitement. 02:11:19.300 --> 02:11:25.300 I felt like I was doing it with a smile. 02:12:01.300 --> 02:12:09.300 Yes, the pressure, the expectations from fans, and the performance of myself were great. 02:12:09.300 --> 02:12:15.300 The pressure was great, and I wanted to make Japan a new country. 02:12:15.300 --> 02:12:20.300 I couldn't understand how to enjoy the pressure. 02:12:20.300 --> 02:12:23.300 That's when I became very famous. 02:12:23.300 --> 02:12:36.300 We lost in the RGL league, and we lost a lot of things that we didn't believe in, but we still want to fight because of the RGAC. 02:12:36.300 --> 02:12:40.300 We want to go to the world as a professional team, and it's getting really high. 02:12:40.300 --> 02:12:45.300 We really want to quit our job immediately. 02:12:45.300 --> 02:12:52.300 We really wanted to quit our job at that time, and we really wanted to go to the world. 02:12:52.300 --> 02:12:58.300 I was happy and excited. 02:12:58.300 --> 02:13:02.300 I felt really strong. 02:13:02.300 --> 02:13:07.300 The difference is that the team is the same, and the communication is the same. 02:13:07.300 --> 02:13:14.300 We have the team power, so we can say what we think. 02:13:14.300 --> 02:13:19.300 I think it's better to have other teams in the team than that. 02:13:19.300 --> 02:13:27.800 We all have our own teams, and we don't want to be in a corner. 02:13:27.800 --> 02:13:33.800 But we were in a corner and we were in a corner until the night. 02:13:33.800 --> 02:13:36.300 I think that's why we were able to play in a team. 02:13:36.300 --> 02:13:41.300 There was a player named Shiro Neko who didn't have one at the time, 02:13:41.300 --> 02:13:49.800 and I contacted him and told him that I would like to play with him. 02:13:49.800 --> 02:13:55.800 At the time of the Zephyr, I was told that I was a family member, 02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:57.800 but it was really difficult. 02:13:57.800 --> 02:14:01.800 I was told that I was like a family member. 02:14:01.800 --> 02:14:05.800 In the war, my friends were playing games with each other. 02:14:05.800 --> 02:14:09.800 It was really fun, like we were playing together. 02:14:09.800 --> 02:14:14.800 I can't say anything that I want to say, 02:14:14.800 --> 02:14:19.800 but I don't want to hide it, or tell it to others. 02:14:19.800 --> 02:14:22.800 I feel like the current Skars are like family. 02:14:22.800 --> 02:14:25.800 I can't say anything easy, 02:14:25.800 --> 02:14:28.800 so I'll just talk to them if I find a good place to play. 02:14:31.800 --> 02:14:33.800 You 02:19:01.800 --> 02:19:09.300 from the lower bracket we return to the upper bracket it's time for the upper 02:19:09.300 --> 02:19:15.200 bracket final Kina troating on the CAG for a spot in the grand final and the 02:19:15.200 --> 02:19:19.320 best position to try and get yourself to a major it's not on automatic 02:19:19.320 --> 02:19:23.720 qualification you've still got to win the grand final but better to do so today 02:19:23.720 --> 02:19:28.240 booking your place in that very spot than having to go to lower bracket and 02:19:28.240 --> 02:19:33.320 potentially play D plus early where they're going all scars yeah again this 02:19:33.320 --> 02:19:37.880 bracket it doesn't feel near a certain as the other sub regions of course CAG 02:19:37.880 --> 02:19:42.720 probably still stand tall as the favorite but I feel like D plus Kia really 02:19:42.720 --> 02:19:45.880 gonna close the gap today before they've shown and I don't think that that match 02:19:45.880 --> 02:19:50.040 up would be super straightforward and I guess I'm not discounting KineTrip I 02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:53.800 still very much feel as if they have a strong dark horse potential here if they 02:19:53.800 --> 02:19:57.760 have a really good pop-off day in CAG off the mark then maybe they could find 02:19:57.760 --> 02:20:01.680 themselves in the grand final immediately. Let's get a key in a trope. First up, guys, 02:20:01.680 --> 02:20:07.440 I know for you and I, we haven't really got to see them up close and personal. This actually 02:20:07.440 --> 02:20:12.160 be our first time casting them so far in this split for kickoff. But we know, of course, 02:20:12.160 --> 02:20:16.480 these guys have been around a long, long time and they've always kind of felt very competitive 02:20:16.480 --> 02:20:21.600 within the region. Absolutely stacked, really good diamonds. They've just never really had 02:20:21.600 --> 02:20:26.560 that edge, I think on the strategic level to beat out the likes of CAG and D plus the 02:20:26.560 --> 02:20:31.320 old beer X roster, but this might be their time with a shake up within the region, the 02:20:31.320 --> 02:20:35.240 toss in the lower bracket, you never know what you're going to get from CAG in a given 02:20:35.240 --> 02:20:39.320 day. This is a really good opportunity. Maybe the best opportunity they've had in a long 02:20:39.320 --> 02:20:40.320 while. 02:20:40.320 --> 02:20:46.320 Yeah, they certainly feel pretty rejuvenated so far because of kickoff and comparison to 02:20:46.320 --> 02:20:51.440 you know, 2025 for instance, where it felt like they really had begun to derail and you 02:20:51.440 --> 02:20:57.600 know change was needed but you know in terms of roster structure etc so yeah I'm excited for them. 02:20:58.480 --> 02:21:04.720 In terms of their run up to this point it's it's been a point it hasn't been the most decisive 02:21:04.720 --> 02:21:11.520 right that the 2-1 help us a lot of foe and of course losing part of it beating out stars again 02:21:11.520 --> 02:21:17.200 2-1 so it's been solid certainly not as convincing though as CIG so that's kind of the storyline 02:21:17.200 --> 02:21:19.200 going to have to see another 02:21:19.200 --> 02:21:20.200 level and another dimension 02:21:20.200 --> 02:21:23.200 from these guys this afternoon. 02:21:23.200 --> 02:21:26.200 So their opponents in C AG. I 02:21:26.200 --> 02:21:28.200 mean, what a team within this 02:21:28.200 --> 02:21:30.200 region. So historic, maybe the 02:21:30.200 --> 02:21:32.200 most historic team up to date 02:21:32.200 --> 02:21:34.200 where we currently sit in 2026 02:21:34.200 --> 02:21:36.200 and there's obviously been a 02:21:36.200 --> 02:21:37.200 lot of talk about DD's 02:21:37.200 --> 02:21:39.200 inclusion in the roster. 02:21:39.200 --> 02:21:41.200 So we're going to have to see 02:21:41.200 --> 02:21:43.200 what's going to happen. 02:21:43.200 --> 02:21:47.640 There's obviously been a lot of talk about DD's inclusion in the roster, whether they 02:21:47.640 --> 02:21:52.480 were trying to get a new fifth in after he stepped in, and he's been holding his own 02:21:52.480 --> 02:21:55.880 and they feel like they get a lot of value from him and they've got enough firepower 02:21:55.880 --> 02:22:01.000 from the likes of Sharif and Jippetsu that they can continue with this Core 5 that has 02:22:01.000 --> 02:22:04.720 seen success over the last 12 months. 02:22:04.720 --> 02:22:10.280 Especially for, I think, when it comes to CAG, they're the kind of team where when you 02:22:10.280 --> 02:22:12.080 doubt them, they rise. 02:22:12.080 --> 02:22:17.560 And when you have the expectations, they fall. It's just time and time again, this ever-evolving 02:22:17.560 --> 02:22:21.800 cycle and you can never know which version of CIG is going to show up. 02:22:21.800 --> 02:22:27.000 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that was the storyline heading into the D-Pulse matchup, right? It 02:22:27.000 --> 02:22:32.760 was very much a case of CIG having expectation on the not super duper-firm favourites. It 02:22:32.760 --> 02:22:36.960 means it's made that to be a lot more close than it was in the end. But CIG, I think the 02:22:36.960 --> 02:22:40.400 big takeaway for me was in that matchup, they put themselves in strong positions and then 02:22:40.400 --> 02:22:44.800 they were able to convert. There was not a single point over the course of that particular 02:22:44.800 --> 02:22:49.920 series where they went back to old habits, choking, throwing, and creeping, you know, 02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:53.760 mistake creeping and allowing a match to become a necessary post-note. They were decisive. 02:22:53.760 --> 02:22:58.120 They got the job done, 7-1, 7-2. They didn't mess around. They got out of the server quickly. 02:22:58.120 --> 02:23:02.640 Didn't show as much as probably other teams would have liked in terms of prepping going 02:23:02.640 --> 02:23:07.120 forward in the bracket. And so they go into this match in a strong position. But again, 02:23:07.120 --> 02:23:13.760 just about meeting that expectation. Do we see maybe those mistakes and those cracks begin to form 02:23:13.760 --> 02:23:19.120 today or can they continue to truly get better for? We had the benefit of speaking to PJH. We had 02:23:19.120 --> 02:23:23.440 the even greater benefit of speaking to hell and getting the information up close. Plus their 02:23:23.440 --> 02:23:29.760 result against D plus KIA last week was so dominant, 7172. And it was counter-stradding that 02:23:29.760 --> 02:23:35.520 those two kind of spoke about was the big strength for CAG and they've now had the ability 02:23:35.520 --> 02:23:40.800 to look at a KineTrip roster that's performed well, beating stars, beating up a solo foe. 02:23:40.800 --> 02:23:46.240 Both of those series, 2-1. So there's a bit of strength in the little bit of weakness that 02:23:46.240 --> 02:23:50.080 certainly CAG will have looked at and said, well, can we exploit them here? They struggled in this 02:23:50.080 --> 02:23:54.320 department. They were really strong in this area. Can we take that away from them? There's no better 02:23:54.320 --> 02:23:58.320 team within the region when it comes to counter-straining than CAG. They'll be prepped, they'll be 02:23:58.320 --> 02:24:03.760 ready to go. And it will be something that for KineTrip, they've got to be mindful of. 02:24:03.760 --> 02:24:09.760 to KineTrip have extra tricks up their sleeve that they can bring out today that maybe CIG won't be 02:24:09.760 --> 02:24:13.600 prepared for. I think that's where for me, a difference could be had. 02:24:14.480 --> 02:24:18.640 Yeah, absolutely. And actually, one of the key take-points to not looking back at the two last 02:24:18.640 --> 02:24:24.560 series played by KineTrip, they played Labs, Border, Bank, Chalet, Fortress, Cobb. So they played 02:24:24.560 --> 02:24:30.240 six unique maps over the course of those two series. And if CIG's prep work is to be as few as 02:24:30.240 --> 02:24:35.240 the game. And so, um, hopefully 02:24:35.240 --> 02:24:36.240 for the track sake, they've made 02:24:36.240 --> 02:24:37.240 some adjustments because you see 02:24:37.240 --> 02:24:39.240 a G done. They do diligence 02:24:39.240 --> 02:24:41.240 once again, and it really hit 02:24:41.240 --> 02:24:43.240 that crap work and I've really 02:24:43.240 --> 02:24:45.240 well prepared and ready to go 02:24:45.240 --> 02:24:48.240 and know the fine details. Maybe 02:24:48.240 --> 02:24:49.240 there's a world in which we see 02:24:49.240 --> 02:24:51.240 another result that's very 02:24:51.240 --> 02:24:53.240 dominant from them. We're going 02:24:53.240 --> 02:24:55.240 to special little graphic before 02:24:55.240 --> 02:24:56.240 this match that was going to be 02:24:56.240 --> 02:25:01.280 from them. But we got a special little graphic before this match that we'll go to. It's about 02:25:01.280 --> 02:25:07.360 Gator and a Gator and the way that they've been, I guess, together for such a long time, 02:25:07.360 --> 02:25:13.040 or not together, but starting playing for such a long time, two players that when they 02:25:13.040 --> 02:25:18.000 came into the region, they were the young gunners, guys, they were the new hope for 02:25:18.000 --> 02:25:23.200 the eight pack North region at the time when they kind of made their way in. And now we're 02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:29.360 the mid 20s. Is this their peak? Are they going to start to fall off of cliff? Where 02:25:29.360 --> 02:25:34.040 do things go for these two, which are no longer now the young gunners within the region, but 02:25:34.040 --> 02:25:41.040 the older heads? No, and both of these teams are of course under the CHE banner and years 02:25:41.040 --> 02:25:47.360 gone by. And yeah, I think they'll be pretty comfortable in this position. Probably more 02:25:47.360 --> 02:25:51.960 say a Gator as opposed to to Gatorado who's been a bit of a hiatus, but it's good to see 02:25:51.960 --> 02:25:56.960 He's been firing like it and he doesn't feel like he's missed too much of a beat, at least from what we've seen so far. 02:25:56.960 --> 02:26:01.960 So excited to see these guys inside of the server and again, this is a big tester for them today. 02:26:01.960 --> 02:26:09.960 I think that Aged especially is going to have the spotlight on him today to probably be the one to be a big playmaker for Kinnotrope. 02:26:09.960 --> 02:26:12.960 He's the kind of player you want in your corner, clutching up rounds. 02:26:12.960 --> 02:26:18.960 That's the sort of potential that he brings to the roster and if he taps into that, then they can start to apply pressure back onto CIGI. 02:26:18.960 --> 02:26:22.800 Yeah, I think that's going to be the strength of of a kinetropically out of fine success 02:26:22.800 --> 02:26:29.560 You know can they get the fracking power out of those two it almost you probably not gonna beat CIG the mental and 02:26:29.840 --> 02:26:37.920 Strategical side of things but can you beat them in the server guns up and who can frag out better and play into that kind of strength 02:26:37.920 --> 02:26:39.920 Which kind of then makes it well 02:26:40.280 --> 02:26:42.600 What are the maps that are probably going to help you with that? 02:26:42.600 --> 02:26:47.440 I'm gonna be in the likes of border for instance might be to go to this for something like a kinetro 02:26:47.440 --> 02:26:50.440 They played it against scars. They won that seven five 02:26:51.040 --> 02:26:56.400 The other maps though that they've played and again showing a really deep map or as you kind of touched on before 02:26:56.800 --> 02:27:04.200 Like they can play the more conventional club houses fortresses as well in terms of that more structures 02:27:04.200 --> 02:27:06.960 We do go to the map readers will get a bit of an eye on it 02:27:09.000 --> 02:27:12.080 Now the maps that I've come through bank layer concerts 02:27:12.080 --> 02:27:15.840 So it's structure and scale and choke points, 02:27:15.840 --> 02:27:18.440 especially when you look towards console on the tail end. 02:27:18.440 --> 02:27:22.080 So these maps are really, really going to test 02:27:22.080 --> 02:27:23.840 attacking for us. 02:27:23.840 --> 02:27:26.960 Bank can lend itself into being a little more open 02:27:26.960 --> 02:27:28.720 and I'm sure CIG will try to exploit that. 02:27:28.720 --> 02:27:32.200 Maybe try and find pockets of space up the tempo, 02:27:32.200 --> 02:27:34.200 try and find more route one approaches. 02:27:34.200 --> 02:27:36.760 Don't see that being as viable though on the lights 02:27:36.760 --> 02:27:39.840 and especially there and to an extent concert, 02:27:39.840 --> 02:27:40.680 but not so much. 02:27:40.680 --> 02:27:45.560 I think this video is going to be a real good test for these two teams. Straight away from 02:27:45.560 --> 02:27:49.800 the more compact options like your Chalets and your Borders for example, which I personally 02:27:49.800 --> 02:27:53.160 probably actually did expect to see in this series, but they've gone a different route 02:27:53.160 --> 02:27:54.160 at Tyler. 02:27:54.160 --> 02:27:57.400 Well, unfortunately, we're going to have to let the tension simmer here for this upper 02:27:57.400 --> 02:28:02.160 bracket final in a big game here for A-Pak. North we will take short break while we get 02:28:02.160 --> 02:28:05.920 the game ready. When we return though, these two will go head to head for a spot in the 02:28:05.920 --> 02:28:06.920 grand final. 02:28:06.920 --> 02:28:20.520 Hi, my name is Rikuli and I'm a player for CIG Osaka for APL. 02:28:20.520 --> 02:28:25.360 We look for us, it was a surreal experience because it was our first time ever in a main 02:28:25.360 --> 02:28:28.680 stage on an international event so yeah it was amazing. 02:28:28.680 --> 02:28:34.600 It definitely motivated us to play better and just the confidence boost really. 02:28:34.600 --> 02:28:38.100 I was happy to be honest, but I wanted to win. 02:28:38.100 --> 02:28:44.600 Everyone was honest, so I was able to do it easily. 02:29:04.600 --> 02:29:14.600 Well, I was confident, but I thought I'd practice more and more, so I increased the number of times I ranked. 02:29:14.600 --> 02:29:24.600 I don't think it's going to change, but when I played badly, I was able to make fun of my teammates. 02:29:34.600 --> 02:29:44.600 A big part of that was that we couldn't scream for like a week, out of practice was definitely very, it really impacted us. 02:29:44.600 --> 02:29:50.600 We didn't know what we were doing at first, and by the time we knew it, we were already out. 02:29:50.600 --> 02:29:57.600 I mean, in the 6th round, if I won the 1v1 against Alamo, on him in 1T, then yeah, it could have been a 6th round. 02:29:57.600 --> 02:30:00.600 It could have just won easily, but it is what it is. 02:30:00.600 --> 02:30:10.880 I was a coach, Ken, so I was personally busy, but I think I got a simple, practical defect. 02:30:10.880 --> 02:30:11.880 I think I got a random defect. 02:30:18.960 --> 02:30:27.400 Well, it doesn't really change much, but the coach hasn't decided yet, so it doesn't really change much, but it's better than before. 02:30:30.600 --> 02:30:41.600 Massacre, SI, main stage is probably the minimum, and winning is the maximum. 02:30:41.600 --> 02:30:47.600 Let's start with winning the game. 02:30:47.600 --> 02:30:54.600 Let's start with the way it's called. 02:31:17.600 --> 02:31:30.600 Well, to be honest, I wasn't aware of it, so I didn't really like it, but it's a little bit of a nuisance. 02:31:30.600 --> 02:31:37.800 Honestly speaking, I was working on the building, 02:31:37.800 --> 02:31:42.520 and I didn't want to use a bulldozer, but I was working on a bulldozer. 02:31:42.520 --> 02:31:47.600 I didn't think it was cool when I started working on it, so I used a bulldozer. 02:31:47.600 --> 02:31:52.040 I didn't want to use it, and I didn't like it. 02:31:52.040 --> 02:31:57.160 I think the bulldozer style is more popular now. 02:31:57.160 --> 02:32:06.160 The reason is that the CIG in me is getting higher and the enemy doesn't like it. 02:32:06.160 --> 02:32:10.160 So I think the name Bulldozer is a bit strange. 02:32:10.160 --> 02:32:14.160 I think it's a very smart Bulldozer. 02:32:27.160 --> 02:32:29.960 a scrap, but the whole king of a scrap, Pino. 02:32:29.960 --> 02:32:31.760 If he goes uncontested and the kit goes cold, 02:32:31.760 --> 02:32:32.600 that'll be devastating. 02:32:32.600 --> 02:32:34.800 The grenade goes through that this way. 02:32:34.800 --> 02:32:37.200 Cyber and Bullet are able to get one apiece with the kit 02:32:37.200 --> 02:32:39.880 so far away, and Canadian down upstairs. 02:32:39.880 --> 02:32:43.000 Cyber, wow, that was special. 02:32:43.000 --> 02:32:45.040 It's a one, but it's three to hold, 02:32:45.040 --> 02:32:46.480 and they're pushing from behind. 02:32:46.480 --> 02:32:47.560 He's found one. 02:32:47.560 --> 02:32:49.360 He's got to get the vertical as well. 02:32:49.360 --> 02:32:51.560 They get pulled off six, but down to the last three 02:32:51.560 --> 02:32:54.000 and four seconds, Reinhardt's got another. 02:32:54.000 --> 02:32:55.000 He's held on. 02:32:55.000 --> 02:32:59.000 He's going to do it, but he has to take the 2-1 win. 02:32:59.000 --> 02:33:03.000 Both players spotted, but the Rams can be made successfully here. 02:33:03.000 --> 02:33:05.000 Oh! 02:33:05.000 --> 02:33:08.000 Another one for Salter. Information from the Bs. 02:33:08.000 --> 02:33:09.000 He goes dead. 02:33:09.000 --> 02:33:10.000 Shocking! 02:33:11.000 --> 02:33:13.000 Valio, Salter ends. 02:33:13.000 --> 02:33:19.000 They cement themselves as one of the greatest of all time. 02:33:19.000 --> 02:33:21.000 He's starting to get cooked alive, Ollie, 02:33:21.000 --> 02:33:22.000 but he's using the stem pencils. 02:33:22.000 --> 02:33:23.000 Look at this from the dark. 02:33:23.000 --> 02:33:24.000 Surely not. 02:33:24.000 --> 02:33:29.960 Really it let's play the year in my book place the game hits the old buddy didn't quite catch it 02:33:34.040 --> 02:33:36.440 He's going back he's not quite sure he 02:33:41.360 --> 02:33:44.600 This is an angle that he might be able to contest no unfortunately 02:33:44.600 --> 02:33:46.720 He takes just a bit of damage here a walk 02:33:46.720 --> 02:33:50.600 I guess the second one eclipse though we'll get one turning it into a 2v2 and I they push it on the side 02:33:50.600 --> 02:33:52.400 The defendant will lose out on this. 02:33:52.400 --> 02:33:54.760 Eclipse the last alive on the ally. 02:33:54.760 --> 02:33:56.800 Spots the head and takes the base. 02:33:56.800 --> 02:33:59.400 The ace for Waka. 02:33:59.400 --> 02:34:02.120 He will down BC, Canadian positioning to kick off, 02:34:02.120 --> 02:34:04.680 but that's going to result in a double base from Vertical. 02:34:04.680 --> 02:34:06.680 That's the core for him in the round. 02:34:06.680 --> 02:34:09.040 Necrox, the final defender against Vertical. 02:34:09.040 --> 02:34:11.680 The ace, absolute domination. 02:34:11.680 --> 02:34:14.080 We all believe in Magic, Michael. 02:34:14.080 --> 02:34:17.560 Team one does, as they win the Mexico Major. 02:34:50.600 --> 02:34:56.600 What's the difference between you and the world? 02:34:57.600 --> 02:35:00.600 We have experienced this in many countries, 02:35:01.600 --> 02:35:08.600 like we have noticed new things in our life. 02:35:09.600 --> 02:35:14.600 I think it's difficult to believe that evolution is the key to a new world, 02:35:14.600 --> 02:35:18.600 but we have to practice in the communication part of the world. 02:35:18.600 --> 02:35:23.600 I don't have any mistakes in communication with Zepto, 02:35:23.600 --> 02:35:28.600 and I've lost a lot of mistakes. 02:35:28.600 --> 02:35:31.600 When I was a beginner, 02:35:31.600 --> 02:35:38.600 I couldn't feel anything when I was playing with the players I only saw on the screen. 02:35:38.600 --> 02:35:41.600 I've always liked the players, 02:35:41.600 --> 02:35:43.600 and I've always liked the team I've always been in front of, 02:35:43.600 --> 02:35:45.600 and I've seen the players fight, 02:36:15.600 --> 02:36:20.600 I think we will be able to fight more in the world. 02:36:20.600 --> 02:36:25.600 We are in Japan, but we can only leave the result without a doubt. 02:36:25.600 --> 02:36:28.600 If we can meet a person who can hurt us more, 02:36:28.600 --> 02:36:31.600 I think it would be appropriate to win. 02:36:31.600 --> 02:36:40.600 Yes, Japan's A-PAC team is quite popular. 02:36:40.600 --> 02:36:44.600 I think there are times when the result doesn't come out, 02:36:44.600 --> 02:36:48.600 and I think there are times when the result doesn't come out, 02:36:48.600 --> 02:36:53.600 but honestly, it's not a good idea to say it's frustrating, 02:36:53.600 --> 02:36:57.600 but this year, I want to leave the result and leave the results 02:36:57.600 --> 02:37:01.600 to make sure that the result is strong. 02:37:01.600 --> 02:37:05.600 Yes, I think everyone has to lose, 02:37:05.600 --> 02:37:08.600 and I think there is a way to learn, 02:37:08.600 --> 02:37:14.600 I think the most important thing is to change the direction of losing and to stop the next one. 02:37:14.600 --> 02:37:19.600 Even if the world championship or Japan championship is lost, it's okay to lose. 02:37:19.600 --> 02:37:22.600 I think the most important thing is to not fall down there. 02:37:30.600 --> 02:37:33.600 There are a lot of changes in the meta. 02:38:38.600 --> 02:38:40.600 I 02:39:38.600 --> 02:39:40.600 I 02:43:08.600 --> 02:43:15.600 Thank you. 02:45:38.600 --> 02:45:40.600 I 02:46:08.600 --> 02:46:12.100 Shout out to people who love the red jeep on the top of the hill 02:46:12.100 --> 02:46:14.100 Then I fall back, I can't fall back 02:46:14.100 --> 02:46:16.100 I ain't like you tonight 02:46:16.100 --> 02:46:19.100 I ain't good to fall out of you and die back 02:46:19.100 --> 02:46:21.100 I never hit a ring when I work 02:46:21.100 --> 02:46:23.100 Cause I took my phone off 02:46:23.100 --> 02:46:25.100 Phone off, ay ay ay 02:46:25.100 --> 02:46:27.100 I'm a bad boy but killer killer 02:46:27.100 -->

02:46:58.780 --> 02:47:01.420 I don't know if it's a coincidence 02:47:01.420 --> 02:47:02.980 I don't care, I don't worry 02:47:32.980 --> 02:47:35.620 You and me was my vision line 02:47:35.620 -->

light of the night 02:49:41.580 --> 02:49:43.980 Jesus, I'm the love of soul 02:49:43.980 --> 02:49:46.580 Jesus, I'm the love of soul 02:49:48.580 --> 02:49:51.180 You're right 02:49:51.180 --> 02:49:56.180 Tell me everything I need 02:49:58.180 --> 02:50:00.780 You smile 02:50:00.780 --> 02:50:06.280 I still can't get over it 02:50:08.280 --> 02:50:12.280 Now, I don't know 02:50:12.280 --> 02:50:14.280 the name 02:54:14.280 --> 02:54:21.280 I 02:54:21.280 --> 02:54:24.280 I 02:54:24.280 --> 02:54:26.280 I 02:54:26.280 --> 02:54:28.280 I 02:54:28.280 --> 02:54:30.280 I 02:54:30.280 --> 02:54:32.280 I 02:54:32.280 --> 02:54:34.280 I 02:54:34.280 --> 02:54:36.280 I 02:54:36.280 --> 02:54:38.280 I 02:54:38.280 --> 02:54:40.280 I 02:54:40.280 --> 02:54:42.280 I 02:57:10.280 --> 02:57:12.280 I 03:00:40.280 --> 03:00:42.280 I can't be 03:00:42.280 --> 03:00:45.280 This is the last time I'm here 03:00:47.280 --> 03:00:50.280 I don't care if it's a lie 03:00:50.280 --> 03:00:54.280 I don't care if it's a lie 03:01:40.280 --> 03:01:43.280 I want to go back to the old days 03:01:44.280 --> 03:01:47.280 The lost voice is born in the city 03:01:48.280 --> 03:01:52.280 People who are far away from the past 03:01:52.280 --> 03:01:55.280 Even the distance between us is sweet 03:01:55.280 --> 03:01:59.280 Even a little bit of it is weak in this night 03:02:02.280 --> 03:02:05.280 The dawn that melts away 03:02:05.280 --> 03:02:09.280 This is the last wish 03:03:10.280 --> 03:03:38.520 I don't know, well apologies for the delay, we only had some sort of an outage issues which 03:03:38.520 --> 03:03:44.280 fortunately have now been resolved which means we can get underway with the upper bracket final or 03:03:44.280 --> 03:03:48.520 again thanks for sticking with us and we can get the straight bracket on the road guys. 03:03:50.120 --> 03:03:57.800 Now let's jump in to this best of three it's Bank, Blair and Consulate if required expectations 03:03:57.800 --> 03:04:03.640 or at least I hope that this will be a competitive matchup. CAG though still the firm 03:04:03.640 --> 03:04:10.520 favorites as we finally jump into this match. Again apologies as you said for the delay but it 03:04:10.520 --> 03:04:17.880 seems like all has been resolved. CAG to start out on attack and the bands as follows it's the 03:04:17.880 --> 03:04:24.280 mirror and Monty in the first wave and so we may well see double shield bands here nothing from 03:04:24.280 --> 03:04:26.080 from Kinitrope here on the defense. 03:04:28.200 --> 03:04:30.980 And in fact, no, it's the Echo and the Ying. 03:04:33.120 --> 03:04:35.000 Okay, I gotta build this one back up a little bit, 03:04:35.000 --> 03:04:36.840 but for Kinitrope, you know, 03:04:36.840 --> 03:04:38.880 this is a really good opportunity 03:04:38.880 --> 03:04:42.040 that the Disrosta probably haven't had 03:04:42.040 --> 03:04:43.680 a lot of opportunities to, you know, 03:04:43.680 --> 03:04:46.080 make a major and make a name for themselves 03:04:46.080 --> 03:04:48.840 and get over the tops of your CAGs, 03:04:48.840 --> 03:04:50.560 your D pluses in recent times, 03:04:50.560 --> 03:04:56.360 fear acts is over the course of last few years, an upper bracket final spot in the grand final 03:04:56.360 --> 03:04:59.560 where anything can happen on that given day. Then it's just one series to get a little 03:04:59.560 --> 03:05:04.000 break. Everyone has to then fight to even just get there to challenge you. I think 03:05:04.000 --> 03:05:09.200 CIG come into this as favorites, but I don't look at it as overwhelming favorites. I spoke 03:05:09.200 --> 03:05:14.000 it about before in the pre-match discussion, which that was a while ago now, but CIG is 03:05:14.000 --> 03:05:18.000 the kind of team that on a given day, well, I could see as you could win this seven one 03:05:18.000 --> 03:05:25.040 and they can go to 3 maps. It's a completely unknown territory in a series like this which 03:05:25.040 --> 03:05:29.440 makes it fascinating and exciting because we're not sure what we're going to get. 03:05:29.440 --> 03:05:37.000 I totally agree with that sentiment. I'm not going to be shocked if CIG went away with 03:05:37.000 --> 03:05:41.160 this match. Equally not going to be shocked if we see them take a little while to find 03:05:41.160 --> 03:05:47.640 their footing. As for the opening round, I like the belt of utility that they have on 03:05:47.640 --> 03:05:51.880 off to here here. The Monty banned out but of course the Blitz has made it through. They 03:05:51.880 --> 03:05:57.000 then have the Klaas, they can lay a pressure and then they go pretty old school with the 03:05:57.000 --> 03:06:00.840 Habana and the Thatcher combination to do with the hatches on this particular site. 03:06:00.840 --> 03:06:08.200 Defensively it's very much an anchor and a bunker down on the objective. The only real 03:06:08.200 --> 03:06:12.320 caveat to that being that a Claire over the wood blue stays on the Denari. The rest of 03:06:12.320 --> 03:06:17.040 the team that will bunker down with catch, they have the Maestro's Walfa, play Denar 03:06:17.040 --> 03:06:22.480 late and then so the old-school tools of the the smoke and the mute as well so 03:06:22.480 --> 03:06:27.600 yeah show me up to be a bit more of an old-school bank here as the CIG quite 03:06:27.600 --> 03:06:31.280 quickly worked their way through map control 03:06:32.120 --> 03:06:39.340 oh wow that's nice. That is so nice. Well quickly taking control it's definitely the 03:06:39.340 --> 03:06:43.200 goal and being able to achieve that that's already blue stairs under there 03:06:43.200 --> 03:06:48.400 belt. The gate does get a trade onto DD, man, so the faster it goes down. 03:06:50.720 --> 03:06:57.360 I do have a gate applying tucked in close CCTV. And typically in terms of the denial, 03:06:57.360 --> 03:07:03.120 you know, you'll have the Goyo didn't bring it. Obviously Echo banned down. So it's the three gas 03:07:03.120 --> 03:07:09.360 players of Aokaiu and Klaus, Maestrocams. That's pretty much what they've got in terms of denial. 03:07:09.360 --> 03:07:15.360 minute 30 on the clock. So COG's in a really solid position even though they did lose DD man and it's a 4v4. 03:07:20.080 --> 03:07:25.040 Hello this comes down to the util layering here for the attack, ensuring those smokes are in 03:07:25.040 --> 03:07:29.360 good positions to cover the lights of red and then Sharip can be given the license to peek through 03:07:29.360 --> 03:07:35.600 that. They still have a total of four available then plus the capital. So COG will just need to be 03:07:35.600 --> 03:07:39.840 disciplined here. Treet likely would actually drop a go for the back pinch but in the meantime 03:07:39.840 --> 03:07:45.600 Anderson does fall that does complicate things a little bit. Treet may consider actually a faker 03:07:45.600 --> 03:07:50.160 and then reconnect with the rest of the push and that seems to be the case. Our colleague goes for 03:07:50.160 --> 03:07:55.200 the first plant attempt but probably forced off. They've been able to draw out the utility though 03:07:56.320 --> 03:07:59.760 so it's all quick for CIG being played down but they're not in the worst position. 03:07:59.760 --> 03:08:07.080 isolation, the name of the game for Sharif and he loses that jewel, Arcali immediately 03:08:07.080 --> 03:08:14.280 to go for the plant and the cover does not land, somehow he gets the plant down but 1v4 03:08:14.280 --> 03:08:20.120 will quickly be dismissed. Good work from KineTrope and CAG, a couple of mistakes early 03:08:20.120 --> 03:08:23.120 in that initial round. Yeah I mean considering they got the opening 03:08:23.120 --> 03:08:27.760 pick, got the blue stairs under their control nice and early, I expected a little bit more 03:08:27.760 --> 03:08:33.200 from CAG and credit though has to go to Kinnichoke. They don't panic. They don't over invest. Obviously 03:08:33.200 --> 03:08:37.760 got that big kill onto DD man. So they're not going to get flooded in terms of the uneven numbers. 03:08:37.760 --> 03:08:42.240 They brought it back to 4v4. They lacked a little bit of that denial, but they made up with it with 03:08:42.240 --> 03:08:46.640 a little bit more of that forward aggression. So, you know, typically baseman bank, you'll see 03:08:46.640 --> 03:08:51.040 the defensive team just kind of go through the Utah game as their main source of defense. And 03:08:51.600 --> 03:08:55.840 the Kinnichoke kind of just got on the front foot. I mean, a lovely clear from Zaka. 03:08:55.840 --> 03:09:03.560 And unfortunately, Shariq just couldn't find the right angle in the glass and I think at that moment then the round probably went away from CAG 03:09:03.560 --> 03:09:07.760 Basement Bank is difficult to attack into the best of times and then they just lost too many bodies 03:09:08.000 --> 03:09:10.880 And credit has to get a kid atrop though. They just got active 03:09:10.960 --> 03:09:15.240 They didn't just kind of sit back and wait for CAG to make the most of the advantage 03:09:15.440 --> 03:09:22.360 Unfortunately, we've just lost a player so we're gonna get a technical pause which because the game just like just started just 03:09:22.840 --> 03:09:24.840 We now turn this through a rest 03:09:25.840 --> 03:09:32.400 Yeah, such is the case, yeah, I mean, a fingers crossed that's more so isolated to one player 03:09:32.400 --> 03:09:39.040 and isn't a sign that the servers have degraded again, but yeah, I like the fight back that 03:09:39.040 --> 03:09:43.360 we saw in that first initial round there from KineTrope, again, the blue clear was really 03:09:43.360 --> 03:09:48.540 nice from the attack we saw the, the Thatcher leverage to deal with any utility that then 03:09:48.540 --> 03:09:54.140 forced the anchor back down the stairs and clean shot followed. But unfortunately, then 03:09:55.340 --> 03:09:59.420 CIG had to prepare themselves properly for that final push. They had a lot of smoke utility, 03:09:59.420 --> 03:10:03.660 that a total of six smokes that they could play into, and then try to leverage the 03:10:03.660 --> 03:10:06.860 Glaz. And I think the ultimate plan was for Glaz to drop over towards 03:10:06.860 --> 03:10:10.380 elevator and provide that pinch pressure and make it very difficult for the backline to 03:10:11.740 --> 03:10:17.580 deny the default plan. But then Habana died, I believe, I don't tend in that round if I'm not 03:10:17.580 --> 03:10:23.580 mistaken and then we saw that initiate a bit of a pivot from CAG and in an unoptimal position 03:10:23.580 --> 03:10:31.020 they're unable to really leverage that belt of utility correctly so only a couple of minor areas 03:10:31.020 --> 03:10:34.860 but that's generally the case of basement it doesn't take too many things to go against you 03:10:34.860 --> 03:10:40.620 on this side of attack and it starts to look a little bit messy so hopefully for their sake 03:10:40.620 --> 03:10:46.540 that's just a bit of a one-off it'd be limited to that site and then they can look to reset going 03:10:46.540 --> 03:10:51.540 forward into what is expected to be top-floor up next. 03:10:51.540 --> 03:10:57.340 Well, just to cross all the eyes and make sure things don't delay too long, unfortunately 03:10:57.340 --> 03:11:00.940 for this re-host with the other ongoing issues, we will take a very short break, but hopefully 03:11:00.940 --> 03:11:02.340 it is indeed very short. 03:13:46.540 --> 03:13:48.540 I 03:15:16.540 --> 03:15:18.540 I 03:16:46.540 --> 03:16:48.540 I 03:21:16.540 --> 03:21:42.060 Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It's just one of those days where it seems like we're 03:21:42.060 --> 03:21:45.780 going to be running into maybe an issue here or there, but fortunately in this case it 03:21:45.780 --> 03:21:51.220 has been resolved to win get back underway and hopefully goes this could be the the last one 03:21:51.940 --> 03:21:56.500 but you never know with these things. It's awesome. Well, yeah, I mean, there's always one more. 03:21:57.380 --> 03:22:00.820 I think when it's one of those days, there's usually one more and it's not just a one-off thing, 03:22:00.820 --> 03:22:05.540 but yeah, hopefully it can now get underway because it's we've only played the one round, 03:22:05.540 --> 03:22:09.460 which was a good route from Keena Trap, of course, for CAG. They got the opening pick, 03:22:09.460 --> 03:22:13.860 they got the good clear of the wards, blue says, but Keena Trap switched on defense and 03:22:13.860 --> 03:22:15.380 I've got themselves off to a good start. 03:22:17.220 --> 03:22:20.660 Yeah, just before we jumped into the rehearse, the tracker that we have access to was actually 03:22:20.660 --> 03:22:24.180 showing archives as the site of choice that I just thought at the time that was 03:22:26.900 --> 03:22:30.820 a case of it was selected before the rehearse and it wasn't actually going to be committed to, 03:22:30.820 --> 03:22:36.580 but it seems like KineChip are going to be sending us to Teller's archives here for round number two. 03:22:36.580 --> 03:22:47.320 and if these numbers are to be exact this site has only been played one time globally in April 03:22:47.320 --> 03:22:53.140 2026 so that's interesting it was won by the attack I don't know the exact details as to where or 03:22:53.140 --> 03:22:57.620 when that did take place but this is very much a niche selection from the defense. 03:22:57.620 --> 03:23:04.100 You know, it's the one that you see as often. I mean, it's, it's, I'm trying to think of 03:23:05.380 --> 03:23:10.260 outside of April and how often it really does kind of get played. And again, it's like, uh, 03:23:10.260 --> 03:23:14.740 probably kind of like baseman chalet and that niche selection. You got some teams that 03:23:15.300 --> 03:23:18.580 I'm more than happy to play it. It'll feature very much on that top floor. 03:23:18.580 --> 03:23:27.180 deny the vert to the attack and this is actually where I think I mentioned it 03:23:27.180 --> 03:23:30.220 sort of pre-show when it comes to Kinatrop against CAG you're gonna have 03:23:30.220 --> 03:23:32.860 to have tricks up your sleeve well here's one of them right like these are 03:23:32.860 --> 03:23:35.980 the the little battles that I think are gonna determine this upper practice 03:23:35.980 --> 03:23:40.220 line or how they got the capabilities of showing things to CAG that CAG aren't 03:23:40.220 --> 03:23:47.860 gonna be ready for. On the last year 50 times basement for instance for reference 03:23:47.860 --> 03:23:54.260 This is the most played at 800, so we've been playing a fraction of the percent as much 03:23:54.260 --> 03:23:59.980 as those more popular in this particular site, and over the course of those 51 attempts, 03:23:59.980 --> 03:24:11.620 it's essentially a 50-50 site, 49% in favour of the attack, making it the second most attack 03:24:11.620 --> 03:24:17.140 decided, pardon me, the second most defender-sided objective on the map, but again, the frequency 03:24:17.140 --> 03:24:23.360 is so low. We'll see how KineTrap look to contest up above Agate is looking rather aggressive 03:24:23.360 --> 03:24:28.140 currently over the boards. Sack and flow is a 3-2 split from the defense. Agate with 03:24:28.140 --> 03:24:33.860 a really, really positive read here. A double swing from the defense onto Sharip, but he's 03:24:33.860 --> 03:24:38.940 clued in. Lose pretty conservatively, he's survived. Oh, and in fact, that's the kill. 03:24:38.940 --> 03:24:42.240 So he regresses at the right moment, finds a good opportunity to do D as well elsewhere. 03:24:42.740 --> 03:24:44.040 Taps in for C.A.G. 03:24:44.840 --> 03:24:45.740 We now go for the flank. 03:24:49.140 --> 03:24:53.140 Obviously got the plant down in the opening round as well, but we're unable to follow it up in the post. 03:24:53.140 --> 03:24:55.140 Why there should be a different story altogether. 03:24:55.540 --> 03:25:00.040 And maybe a good reason why this is a site that doesn't really see a whole lot of play. 03:25:00.840 --> 03:25:03.440 In contrast to the other sites on this map. 03:25:03.440 --> 03:25:07.240 And the thing is you don't need to play archives on bank. 03:25:07.240 --> 03:25:11.040 I think really, when you kind of think about the sides that do get played, I don't know 03:25:11.040 --> 03:25:15.920 really what you're thinking is that you're replacing is going to make this better. 03:25:15.920 --> 03:25:20.600 So, yeah, look, they went through something and you know what, I'll stand by it. 03:25:20.600 --> 03:25:25.120 I think it's good that they've tried something and then want to bring that sort of ace up 03:25:25.120 --> 03:25:26.120 the sleeve mentality. 03:25:26.120 --> 03:25:28.320 But boy, has it not worked in this round. 03:25:28.320 --> 03:25:33.840 Yeah, much better from CAG, more on the side of things that they capitalized. 03:25:33.840 --> 03:25:37.520 And they got the opening pick in the first round as well and then credit to kina trope 03:25:37.520 --> 03:25:40.760 But yeah, it's easier you could have done a lot more this time they follow through 03:25:41.480 --> 03:25:43.480 yeah good composure on the 03:25:43.840 --> 03:25:51.880 Can't a repel from Sharipi was able to buy his moment to find that open kill kickstart things and that pressure onto that top floor position 03:25:53.480 --> 03:25:57.920 Somewhat detracted from the rest of the defense that allowed the slip in and over towards the objective 03:25:57.920 --> 03:25:59.720 The plant was pretty simple to go down 03:25:59.720 --> 03:26:03.520 Kinechope weren't able to leverage a lot of that top-floor control in the end anyway. 03:26:04.520 --> 03:26:09.320 And so I don't think we are going to see that objective played again in this matchup. 03:26:09.320 --> 03:26:14.020 We go over to open area 4, round number 3. 03:26:14.820 --> 03:26:19.920 This being the more traditional tertiary sites selection. 03:26:23.120 --> 03:26:27.020 And based on the composition and the other positions here in the south, 03:26:27.020 --> 03:26:30.340 Kinechope, there should be a bit of an emphasis here on the top floor. They don't have the 03:26:30.340 --> 03:26:34.340 mirrorness, so they supplement the jam hold, but I think they'll still try and find a 03:26:34.340 --> 03:26:36.740 way to contest against that, but... 03:26:46.740 --> 03:26:52.340 It's also a series that has had, well, under two rounds played, there's been a lot of disruption, 03:26:52.340 --> 03:26:58.740 pre-series and then also between the rounds as well. So there's been zero opportunity for 03:26:58.740 --> 03:27:04.820 either of these two teams to really get their feet set and build momentum. That's a lovely 03:27:04.820 --> 03:27:10.820 kill for me. Okay, that shuts down the Sharip who's been arguably the best for CAG. 03:27:12.980 --> 03:27:18.580 I say arguably Chipitsu has been rated higher, but you just get the feeling Sharip is the 03:27:18.580 --> 03:27:25.340 Lifeline of this roster streams it ns. I don't think it's more a case of nice shot. It's more of a case of nice positioning 03:27:29.140 --> 03:27:31.140 You know I tend to agree 03:27:32.620 --> 03:27:37.860 So advantage for kina choke now and we'll see how they were to actually convert this position 03:27:38.780 --> 03:27:42.060 They should have a wealth of information available with the maestro up and maybe 03:27:43.660 --> 03:27:45.900 The pests as well from got a right to connect info 03:27:45.900 --> 03:27:50.380 Then have the freedom of the vigil to lurk around and roam around. 03:27:50.380 --> 03:27:53.900 So the top floor presence here from the defense. 03:27:53.900 --> 03:27:56.820 CIG looking to contest through square. 03:27:56.820 --> 03:28:03.780 Got her either under the pump, still has nitro, won't want to die with that in pocket. 03:28:03.780 --> 03:28:12.540 Take Hater again, oh he's putting the vigil to good use so far in his third round. 03:28:12.540 --> 03:28:17.980 The boss G has been impactful and it's taken down the two big heavy hitters for CAG. 03:28:19.140 --> 03:28:26.100 Well, if there's a statistic of CAG's wind percentage, the Jibitsu and Sharip being the first two dead in the 3v5 from here, 03:28:26.500 --> 03:28:28.540 I can't imagine it would be all that high. 03:28:31.700 --> 03:28:35.180 And so far, to begin, through the three rounds, 03:28:35.500 --> 03:28:38.540 I've had a bit back and forth. Both teams have had good moments. 03:28:38.540 --> 03:28:41.100 Hey, Gator, can you just drop? 03:28:42.540 --> 03:28:45.580 Big kill from Zaka though, on to Gatorada. 03:28:45.580 --> 03:28:47.580 Gorsaka is Akali. 03:28:48.700 --> 03:28:52.140 And I like the name Zaka, and he does go down though to Kawhi. 03:28:52.140 --> 03:28:53.740 Two player advantage for KineTrip. 03:28:53.740 --> 03:28:55.740 Hads is getting pressure from behind. 03:28:55.740 --> 03:28:57.740 Are they able to watch archives? 03:28:58.060 --> 03:29:00.780 Is Deity trying to follow in and play with this shield? 03:29:01.580 --> 03:29:02.700 There's just too many bodies. 03:29:02.700 --> 03:29:05.740 KineTrip has been very, very active on the defensive bank. 03:29:08.220 --> 03:29:10.220 It's not over just yet. 03:29:10.220 --> 03:29:14.580 Anaten could pack a punch on the Blitz, but he is pretty limited on HP. 03:29:15.080 --> 03:29:16.680 Should be pretty straightforward shutdown. 03:29:16.680 --> 03:29:19.880 There's Maestro in-fop as well, in towards the site. 03:29:19.880 --> 03:29:23.820 So even a 2v2 is going to be a challenge for COG. 03:29:28.020 --> 03:29:30.920 Kaeyuu gets the kill on the GD man, leaves it all down to Anaten. 03:29:30.920 --> 03:29:33.020 Oh, he hits the headshot, went onto a clear. 03:29:33.220 --> 03:29:36.020 Kaeyuu gets flashed and Anaten goes nuts! 03:29:36.420 --> 03:29:39.720 Wines back the clock as Anaten can usually do. 03:29:40.220 --> 03:29:46.140 and just have that moment where he flexes both outside the server and inside the server. 03:29:48.060 --> 03:29:53.180 Wow. Well, he's known as being one of the best in the world on the Blitz, and that's another 03:29:53.180 --> 03:30:01.340 really good example of just how strong he can be. It was Roland Chewley-Kinitrape's round to lose 03:30:01.340 --> 03:30:07.820 in a strong position, late man advantage, maestro info up, and even at the end, it was still a two 03:30:07.820 --> 03:30:13.500 versus one, but he just put himself in a position where he was able to isolate those players 03:30:13.500 --> 03:30:17.820 and back himself with really, really clean mechanical skill. 03:30:17.820 --> 03:30:23.980 They were still tricky opportunities to convert, but he was able to do so. 03:30:23.980 --> 03:30:30.020 So for KineTrope, it's about doing a better job going forward and just dealing with that. 03:30:30.020 --> 03:30:33.660 And then here, 3v2, K'A'Ow caught out. 03:30:33.660 --> 03:30:40.160 2 vs 2 looks rough with information, but then a Claire also presented an opportunity and then you can't really follow up with Kairi there. 03:30:41.160 --> 03:30:43.960 Gets caught up close, not a ton that he could do. 03:30:44.460 --> 03:30:50.660 And it's a big moment for CAG that will inject a bit of energy into this matchup, again, given its disrupted nature. 03:30:51.160 --> 03:30:54.960 They're the first team really to find some comfort inside of the server. 03:30:56.460 --> 03:31:03.260 And with that first rotation, now Don, we return to the top floor, it's Kairi and Capital to be benched. 03:31:03.660 --> 03:31:15.180 Make sure to be disappointed that probably should have been able to go on and win that 03:31:15.180 --> 03:31:16.180 round. 03:31:16.180 --> 03:31:24.900 It's 2v4 and again found the early kills on a Sharip and Chibbets to courtesy of Aya Gader 03:31:24.900 --> 03:31:27.020 and did a good job on that vigil. 03:31:27.020 --> 03:31:32.380 The 4 kills in the round from Anton and wins the 1v2 clutch. 03:31:32.380 --> 03:31:37.740 of the differences and that's usually what the best teams have in the arsenal is certain individual 03:31:37.740 --> 03:31:46.300 players that can win rounds off just sheer ability whereas if you play that round out and bring in 03:31:47.740 --> 03:31:51.260 many other teams if they don't have that kind of player they probably lose that round and 03:31:51.260 --> 03:31:57.420 aditons just that player in this region. Sharib can do that, Chibetsu can do that, 03:31:57.420 --> 03:31:59.420 That's the strength of the CIG roster 03:32:00.320 --> 03:32:04.760 Witnesses they can find themselves in those positions that they need to plant those big plays 03:32:09.940 --> 03:32:13.700 This is of course kinetrope's map pick so far CIG lead 03:32:20.420 --> 03:32:22.420 Kali and played for round four 03:32:22.420 --> 03:32:27.780 countering the castle and down below are Kali doing quite a bit of damage and 03:32:27.780 --> 03:32:32.780 disrupting those on site allows Chibisu to find the catch and that's some good 03:32:32.780 --> 03:32:37.540 work earlier here from CHE to Leia. Some really nice pressure uncontested, there's 03:32:37.540 --> 03:32:44.140 no one really in a position for Kinatro to go down below and take on the buck. So 03:32:44.140 --> 03:32:46.460 that now leaves them in quite a vulnerable position where they're a player 03:32:46.460 --> 03:32:49.860 down and no one's really able to make a response or produce a response in the 03:32:49.860 --> 03:32:56.360 Meantime if IU also falls and it feels like CAG are really beginning to lock in here on bank 03:32:57.100 --> 03:33:02.780 And again, we know what they're best and at their most dangerous. They are probably the best in the region 03:33:02.820 --> 03:33:04.820 so KineTrope will need to try and 03:33:05.860 --> 03:33:11.460 Find a response that's unlikely in this run, but at least going forward because at the moment CAG have a really good read 03:33:19.860 --> 03:33:25.600 It's going to come from anyone down this round for KineTrope, it's Aya Gader, especially after what we saw in the previous round on the vigil. 03:33:25.600 --> 03:33:30.780 Now on the runes, got the DMI, can certainly hit some pretty good shots from front desk position. 03:33:31.700 --> 03:33:38.220 When the entry for CIG is made late in the round, you know, time starting to dwindle, Gatorada's closed up this open area position. 03:33:38.220 --> 03:33:42.860 So they have a pretty good sense, you would imagine for the trio, how CIG are going to play this. 03:33:42.860 --> 03:33:46.140 It comes down to Aya Gader, can he catch a timing, but Shariq, this is smart. 03:33:46.740 --> 03:33:47.900 Yeah, wonderful. 03:33:47.900 --> 03:33:53.480 And even with 30 seconds on the clock, it's a 5v3. They know they still have the time and the numbers 03:33:53.600 --> 03:33:57.580 To clear out a deadly position such as aya gator love that from CAG 03:33:58.540 --> 03:34:03.220 Get around it does find an archers hull from down below in archives as the Claire is getting freshened up with Bob 03:34:03.220 --> 03:34:07.580 He's low on health needs to help forget a runner. They do get the kill on the gibbets who plant will go down 03:34:08.180 --> 03:34:11.700 Once you know in this site can be difficult to retake, but it's not at the window position 03:34:11.700 --> 03:34:16.060 So into the post plant and it's in we'll be able to bring that shield up with a black beard 03:34:16.060 --> 03:34:22.540 it has to hit the headshot long range here with the UMP and he does on to Sharip. 03:34:22.540 --> 03:34:25.900 30 seconds of Clare will make his vault in. 03:34:25.900 --> 03:34:27.220 Katerina needs to follow suit. 03:34:27.220 --> 03:34:28.220 Can they get the pinch? 03:34:28.220 --> 03:34:32.660 Did he able to win his battle up close and leaves Katerina by himself now? 03:34:32.660 --> 03:34:34.460 Little time remaining. 03:34:34.460 --> 03:34:36.340 They've got the pinch over towards long desk. 03:34:36.340 --> 03:34:39.860 A CAG will now make it a three to one lead. 03:34:39.860 --> 03:34:45.860 You know, a bad little fight back there in terms of the retake attempts, but you were 03:34:45.860 --> 03:34:50.420 doing a good job by sliding over to top square and a couple of neat shots to try and get 03:34:50.420 --> 03:34:54.260 back into the side, but when you're retaking into the black beard, it's always going to 03:34:54.260 --> 03:34:59.100 be a pretty stiff challenge, you know, and again trying good discipline in his shield 03:34:59.100 --> 03:35:00.100 play so far. 03:35:00.100 --> 03:35:05.500 Yeah, a three-on-score line, especially on the side of attack. 03:35:05.500 --> 03:35:11.180 Sun, Felix, CAG, have a bit of ascendancy here on map 1 of this series. We played package of that last round. 03:35:12.060 --> 03:35:16.860 Really loved the element of the Kali in this particular attack as well. 03:35:16.860 --> 03:35:20.140 Did good work on the castle early, put a lot of pressure on site, and then, 03:35:20.140 --> 03:35:24.780 had that look factor late, and there's the tail end of the package where Anerton was able to 03:35:26.220 --> 03:35:26.860 get that kill. 03:35:28.380 --> 03:35:31.580 Based on a good test of that, almost this round feels critically important. 03:35:31.580 --> 03:35:38.300 COG with this particular site, it makes the path forward for KineTrip for very, very volatile. 03:35:38.940 --> 03:35:43.100 The expectation will be the defence takes this, but if it does go astray, 03:35:44.540 --> 03:35:49.420 I think the lambos are beginning to ring a little bit here for KineTrip. 03:35:49.420 --> 03:36:05.660 I was looking at some of the numbers for APAC North and kickoff so far and the entry department 03:36:05.660 --> 03:36:10.220 and the agator is the best for Keenishope but only a plus two. 03:36:10.220 --> 03:36:14.780 He's gone eight and six in a lot of his entry battles. 03:36:14.780 --> 03:36:19.260 They probably need a little bit more out of Gatorada in that. 03:36:19.260 --> 03:36:20.260 He's only 1-1. 03:36:20.260 --> 03:36:24.300 He's only had two entry engagements so far this stage. 03:36:24.300 --> 03:36:26.380 You might get one here. 03:36:26.380 --> 03:36:30.540 The Tethamite, though, will dissuade him and force him back down main stairs. 03:36:30.540 --> 03:36:31.540 Come on, Cully. 03:36:31.540 --> 03:36:39.500 In terms of the highest rated player, actually, this kickoff stage, it's Chippetsu at a 136 03:36:39.500 --> 03:36:40.500 EPS. 03:36:40.500 --> 03:36:44.640 following him is Anitin and Sharit, closely tied together. 03:36:47.380 --> 03:36:50.740 Inetrop, it's only Kuao that's the highest 03:36:50.740 --> 03:36:53.620 as our colleague gets the kill onto Aya Gator. 03:36:53.620 --> 03:36:56.100 That's then Kuao falling to Chibitsu. 03:36:56.100 --> 03:36:58.780 Two quick kills for CHE at the two-minute mark, 03:36:58.780 --> 03:37:02.860 sees them in a similar position to the previous round. 03:37:02.860 --> 03:37:03.700 Yeah, Inetrop. 03:37:03.700 --> 03:37:04.540 Getting the early advantages. 03:37:04.540 --> 03:37:06.140 Inetrop are panicking for a bit of info there. 03:37:06.140 --> 03:37:07.340 Just before those two kills, 03:37:07.340 --> 03:37:09.060 the two or three members flicking cams, 03:37:09.060 --> 03:37:10.100 they didn't have a very good read 03:37:10.100 --> 03:37:15.060 to what COG was doing. The attack was patient. This could be a potential catch over to what's 03:37:15.060 --> 03:37:22.180 Garage and it is converted so it's okay but COG is still in a commanding position. 03:37:24.820 --> 03:37:28.500 Again, none of the benefit of information but with Anitin still on shield, you have the Damo 03:37:28.500 --> 03:37:33.540 Staff flyers, you have a ton of Grimm and Sons utility. The U-Tool here from COG will be able to 03:37:33.540 --> 03:37:35.540 So in the counterbalance that 03:37:38.740 --> 03:37:40.740 Well feels like a pivotal round in the map 03:37:41.980 --> 03:37:47.540 Cannot fear forwarding the loss on lockers CCTV catcher at winning it in the first round 03:37:48.220 --> 03:37:51.200 Even though the plant did successfully get put down by our colleague 03:37:51.880 --> 03:37:53.880 Okay, is that cut? 03:37:55.900 --> 03:38:01.040 Do the night so we've got her out of a he's over the woods chatted and we'll collect the kill on to chip it 03:38:01.040 --> 03:38:06.620 I should have been aware of the fact that he was still top-floor and had the information from the Deimos 03:38:07.360 --> 03:38:13.480 It even does get the trade and it means no nitrosol for the planted Nile. There is an impact available for Caillou 03:38:14.480 --> 03:38:18.520 Nitro cams as well, and he will be able to deny the tin can opener 03:38:19.040 --> 03:38:23.840 That is a big success here for the duo of Keenotro and may just force the SG through the doorway 03:38:23.840 --> 03:38:25.840 They do have the ROU's up from the SENS 03:38:31.040 --> 03:38:38.040 and it's in, blood deep, and you're out, plant down, and it gets crunched though, and DD's 03:38:38.040 --> 03:38:40.700 very long HP, it's a bit of a bull. 03:38:40.700 --> 03:38:45.100 I'm just gonna play this forward, the bottom chassis though, there was a prime player, 03:38:45.100 --> 03:38:52.380 DD and Alkayu, both very low on health, impact does nothing, DD man stood back and DD man 03:38:52.380 --> 03:38:57.140 stands up to win the clutch for CAG. 03:38:57.140 --> 03:39:00.580 a 4 to 1 lead. 03:39:00.580 --> 03:39:09.900 Wow, and again, I really didn't expect it to happen in terms of CAG being able to attack 03:39:09.900 --> 03:39:16.740 successfully on Basement, but that now really poses a difficult task for Kinnotrope losing 03:39:16.740 --> 03:39:23.140 the primary side in that fashion, sure it was close, but it's penciled in as a loss, 03:39:23.140 --> 03:39:28.620 It's in a tricky spot now, we get back to open area, another side in which they've been 03:39:28.620 --> 03:39:35.220 successful, 3-3 here with 50 seconds on the clock, Gatorade though, he gets caught, little 03:39:35.220 --> 03:39:40.540 over aggressive there on the drop, Anatnag would have lay some pressure through red, 03:39:40.540 --> 03:39:48.060 that was actually quite well dealt with by Kinetro, but then Akai fails to pre-fire around 03:39:48.060 --> 03:39:54.620 the corner loses that jewel that's a well city man's been the MVP yeah he has 03:39:54.620 --> 03:39:58.780 been the best player so far for CAG right the number one read a player inside 03:39:58.780 --> 03:40:02.860 of the server but most importantly for his team it's not even just the numbers 03:40:02.860 --> 03:40:06.300 team at that round in particular you get shot in the back got a right of drops 03:40:06.300 --> 03:40:11.660 down hatching towards admin and then he's able to then quickly turn around 03:40:11.660 --> 03:40:15.620 pistol kill him then he gets plant down and then in the post plate gets a kill 03:40:15.620 --> 03:40:23.020 then wins the 1v1 at the end but he's done quite a lot in just one round to get 03:40:23.020 --> 03:40:27.260 CIG into the best position possible and and prior to that he's gone plant down 03:40:27.260 --> 03:40:31.380 twice so he's gotten plenty on three times in five rounds which means he's 03:40:31.380 --> 03:40:34.340 staying alive is getting into the best positions to you know keep that kid in 03:40:34.340 --> 03:40:43.340 the good spot the highest survival rate in the server and goes six and two so 03:40:43.340 --> 03:40:47.340 He's fragging out. Yeah, he's six and two. I think that was... 03:40:48.740 --> 03:40:51.740 We lost a bit of the numbers after the first round. 03:40:56.580 --> 03:41:00.580 So Agate on the vigil here, round six, and an interesting fact regarding him. 03:41:02.220 --> 03:41:06.420 KineTrap have a 90% round win rate when he gets two or more kills, which makes sense. 03:41:06.420 --> 03:41:09.540 But critically, 32% if you get zero. 03:41:09.540 --> 03:41:15.220 So Aged it needs to continually have impact here to help his team on these rooms 03:41:16.560 --> 03:41:23.340 As shown the visual areas shown Pro-S so far and being able to do that. It's about trying to strike some consistency now 03:41:25.060 --> 03:41:31.020 During that of course, top 4 control is being chipped away by a CAG speed headed by a black beard 03:41:31.500 --> 03:41:33.500 Aged it though will 03:41:33.540 --> 03:41:35.180 Resume his room 03:41:35.180 --> 03:41:39.320 But on that note, we will actually chop down so top four now fake head 03:41:42.860 --> 03:41:47.460 And clear on the move but you know towards square, but things better off it 03:41:53.860 --> 03:41:56.980 Okay, so far with two open kills in the half is 03:41:57.900 --> 03:42:03.080 Leading in that department against ever and else and it's been four to one in favor of CIG as a whole 03:42:05.180 --> 03:42:09.520 of course didn't capitalize in the opening round which is so far the only 03:42:09.520 --> 03:42:18.720 round that they've lost and shriek goes hunting down below needs to be careful 03:42:18.720 --> 03:42:21.520 because he might be getting hunted from behind as they get a slip down bot main 03:42:21.520 --> 03:42:25.960 stairs it might just be a timing if he wants to push it but actually by the 03:42:25.960 --> 03:42:29.360 way he's holding this angle I imagine it's more to deny the push up towards 03:42:29.360 --> 03:42:35.960 Beepers rather than to go chasing below, but 35 seconds left in the round means for CAG 03:42:35.960 --> 03:42:41.360 They really need to start hitting the site and shrimp is actually double-backed and will take this fight against a your gator 03:42:42.400 --> 03:42:46.160 So culley gets the opening kill they got the pinch on him the cleared out main stars 03:42:46.160 --> 03:42:52.060 They can come through beepers get a riders point himself up and this is another 5v3 advantage for CAG 03:42:52.060 --> 03:42:58.820 It doesn't connect to DD man will get the plant down for the fourth time in the half as CAG are going to book at a 5-1 03:42:59.260 --> 03:43:06.900 Attacking half to kickstart the upper bracket final. There's being delays, but it's all swift inside of the server for CAG 03:43:22.060 --> 03:43:51.980 I'm just gonna call you now and tell you how I feel 03:43:51.980 --> 03:43:55.440 Baby, I'll get lucky somehow 03:43:55.440 --> 03:43:58.020 And you'll come on tonight 03:43:58.020 --> 03:44:02.740 And let your wildestiros do 03:44:02.740 --> 03:44:05.620 Come on tonight, and baby 03:44:05.620 --> 03:44:09.240 I just need to lose 03:44:09.240 --> 03:44:10.800 Come on tonight 03:44:10.800 --> 03:44:15.140 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 03:44:15.140 --> 03:44:16.740 The love is gone 03:44:16.740 --> 03:44:21.920 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 03:45:21.920 --> 03:45:28.320 from the break as CAG 5-1 up here on the opening map, which is KINATRIP's map as well as the concern 03:45:28.320 --> 03:45:34.160 and CAG Go defense. The wider concern to me is the series as a whole, not even the map. 03:45:35.040 --> 03:45:39.680 For me, Bank is a must win. After what we saw CAG do on Lair last week against D-plus KIA, 03:45:39.680 --> 03:45:46.320 where they absolutely routed them 7-1, very strong map pick for them, and Paul's troubled 03:45:46.320 --> 03:45:49.760 troubled after Kinetrop in the series as a whole? 03:45:49.760 --> 03:45:55.960 Yeah, I mean, I know we've had a couple of series that we've covered across APL in kickoff 03:45:55.960 --> 03:46:02.920 where maybe one team wins the opposition's map pick, and then we see the reversal, again, 03:46:02.920 --> 03:46:10.000 it could happen here, but it feels highly unlikely. I think that they look absolutely almost unstoppable 03:46:10.000 --> 03:46:16.280 on Lair and Shaw maybe can a trope of being able to review that for and take you know 03:46:16.280 --> 03:46:19.440 have some takeaways whatever I still think the gap on that map could be pretty substantial 03:46:19.440 --> 03:46:27.360 so to be walking away from the first half of Bank and that too being dominant it it 03:46:27.360 --> 03:46:32.040 makes it feel like this could be wrapped up pretty quickly pretty swiftly by CIG which 03:46:32.040 --> 03:46:37.200 is exactly the kind of result that these guys would have been gunning for being able to 03:46:37.200 --> 03:46:40.920 convert that inside of the server has to be a pretty positive feeling so far. 03:46:40.920 --> 03:46:46.320 Of course it's not done just yet, but it does feel like a bit of a formality at 03:46:46.320 --> 03:46:51.400 this point. They were dominant in that first half just across the board, able 03:46:51.400 --> 03:46:55.760 to activate their key players, playing some really good Siege, about four and six 03:46:55.760 --> 03:47:01.880 opening kills as a course of that half as well. I'm really outside of the first 03:47:01.880 --> 03:47:05.480 basement side again and objectively you're not expected to produce consistency. 03:47:05.480 --> 03:47:07.480 They were pretty good, so... 03:47:09.480 --> 03:47:12.480 It's only a challenge for Kinatrack to bring this one back. 03:47:24.480 --> 03:47:27.480 I mean, if you see it, you're just very happy with this half overall. 03:47:27.480 --> 03:47:29.480 Even the first round that you lost, 03:47:29.480 --> 03:47:34.480 probably could have been played out a little bit better after getting that opening kill. 03:47:34.480 --> 03:47:38.460 Locust in CCTV is not always that easy and that's really only been 03:47:40.420 --> 03:47:45.700 The site that had issue with and obviously did he was able to clutch up get them to win on that site 03:47:45.700 --> 03:47:52.140 The only other one was the staff open area where a gator got the if you recall that the two kills on the Chibitzu and 03:47:52.140 --> 03:47:58.340 Sharif and that opened up that particular and and then Anderson just went nuts all the other rounds pretty one-sided 03:47:58.340 --> 03:48:04.580 We'll remind her again, we did lose the data from the opening round inside the server due 03:48:04.580 --> 03:48:05.580 to the rehost. 03:48:05.580 --> 03:48:08.740 Wow, it's actually a 4-5, for instance. 03:48:08.740 --> 03:48:14.940 Deity is actually a 6-2, and, well, everyone per se, they add one death to their overalls, 03:48:14.940 --> 03:48:15.940 etc. 03:48:15.940 --> 03:48:16.940 There's a solid snake over here. 03:48:16.940 --> 03:48:22.140 Gator is going to look to push through archives once past the Grismoot mine. 03:48:22.140 --> 03:48:23.620 Two more in pocket for Sharipo. 03:48:23.620 --> 03:48:24.620 No, never mind. 03:48:24.620 --> 03:48:25.620 He's got no more. 03:48:25.620 --> 03:48:29.060 I was at Gator Ripsy's head off, he'll get the open and kill. 03:48:29.060 --> 03:48:31.540 He's looked the most lively for KineTrope 03:48:31.540 --> 03:48:33.380 in the early portion of rounds. 03:48:41.180 --> 03:48:44.300 I midpointed around and DD will elect a whole blue stairs 03:48:44.300 --> 03:48:46.560 instead of retreating to site. 03:48:47.500 --> 03:48:49.060 So I probably will drop elevator 03:48:49.060 --> 03:48:52.460 and so with that all four members basement 03:48:52.460 --> 03:48:55.140 with the asterix of DD ban. 03:48:55.620 --> 03:49:00.260 You will play Life Blue, and I presume Ketetrop will eventually try and shape up to clear him, 03:49:00.260 --> 03:49:03.620 then Default will have Secretary Hardbridge as well, 4-server. 03:49:04.740 --> 03:49:09.780 There is a one in which they can back here, they have the util layer for that potentially as well. 03:49:10.900 --> 03:49:13.980 But I mean at the moment, all signs pointing towards a server drop, 03:49:13.980 --> 03:49:16.100 and it's trying to support DD, but it gets caught. 03:49:16.780 --> 03:49:17.340 Yeah, timing. 03:49:17.340 --> 03:49:20.260 Guess maybe in hand, that was some bad timing on his part. 03:49:20.900 --> 03:49:24.780 Yeah, I think he was sensing the pressure of the Square Hatch drop, 03:49:24.780 --> 03:49:29.360 So he wanted to time it where he'd blow the gas babe and then push up blue stairs and hopefully get in their face 03:49:29.360 --> 03:49:31.360 And they wouldn't expect it, but they swung early 03:49:33.160 --> 03:49:39.300 You can see the the cops turning for DD man, but it just didn't work out a stupid suit at least shots down solid snake in 03:49:39.300 --> 03:49:41.300 Are you gator? 03:49:41.980 --> 03:49:46.980 Well, this is a big moment here but towards fault if our colleague can land this nitrocell 03:49:48.420 --> 03:49:50.420 And kill the gutter out of drop 03:49:50.420 --> 03:49:54.440 then you've got vault locked down and it's just server side that you got to 03:49:54.440 --> 03:49:58.400 worry about clouds pushing towards bot main stairs jibisu wants to get in his 03:49:58.400 --> 03:50:02.040 face oh it's a headshot well don't worry about the shield 03:50:02.040 --> 03:50:05.880 Gatorada still has to drop here and credit to Akali on the patience never 03:50:05.880 --> 03:50:08.920 might gives up on it with seven seconds remaining in the round Gatorada now has 03:50:08.920 --> 03:50:12.320 the freedom to drop and shoot him from behind that is some unfortunate timing 03:50:12.320 --> 03:50:16.560 jibisu can deny the plan Akali got off the Gatorada ends up winning the round 03:50:16.560 --> 03:50:23.680 our colleague would be kicking himself. I would ball be in that situation in any FPS 03:50:23.680 --> 03:50:28.640 game where you just watch you wait, you sit there for 30, 40 seconds, nothing humming your 03:50:28.640 --> 03:50:32.640 way. You're thinking, all right, I'm going to get off it and then immediate drop down 03:50:32.640 --> 03:50:39.200 and you're dead on the timing. I'd love to see our colleagues cam reaction when you get shot 03:50:39.200 --> 03:50:46.240 in the back for a gold he would have been massive I roll he waited so long there's 03:50:46.240 --> 03:50:49.640 the perfect rate it just the guinea-trick attack took so long that it 03:50:49.640 --> 03:50:56.280 actually thank you and the thing is right from the perspective and this is 03:50:56.280 --> 03:50:59.240 where it's really good to kind of get this across is if he keeps holding that 03:50:59.240 --> 03:51:03.640 and nothing ends up coming that way and then his teammates are dying on the more 03:51:03.640 --> 03:51:06.640 direct flights probably what are you doing you know you're sitting back doing 03:51:06.640 --> 03:51:12.040 Nothing so it's like you're kind of damned if you do damned if you don't on the timing nature of it 03:51:12.040 --> 03:51:14.040 This is that had the right read 03:51:14.040 --> 03:51:17.400 There's scrappy round, but credit to Keenicha they come into the second half 03:51:17.400 --> 03:51:22.560 I'm up to getting beaten down 5-1 in the first half and they take lock of CCTV to kick-start an attacking half 03:51:23.840 --> 03:51:25.160 It comebacks can happen 03:51:25.160 --> 03:51:28.160 That's certainly one way to do it if you're if you're gonna start it off 03:51:28.160 --> 03:51:31.080 You take that basement side on bank as the attacking team 03:51:36.640 --> 03:51:43.340 It was always going to be an uphill battle, but evidently off to a decent start, Kino 03:51:43.340 --> 03:51:46.340 Cho. 03:51:46.340 --> 03:51:50.220 So the question we'll now be, are they able to make that count? 03:51:50.220 --> 03:51:55.860 Can they start mounting any kind of pressure onto CIG again given their historical troubles 03:51:55.860 --> 03:51:58.660 and closing out close games? 03:51:58.660 --> 03:52:03.580 I'm sure that's certainly something Kino Cho will be trying to explore and potentially 03:52:03.580 --> 03:52:08.540 exploit in this matchup but there's still a long way away from getting to that point. 03:52:08.540 --> 03:52:12.940 Not need to grind out a couple more wins here on this initial rotation. 03:52:14.380 --> 03:52:17.500 As for this round top four, IQ lurk below. 03:52:20.620 --> 03:52:25.340 There you go, looking for these devices on site. There's a bit of catch on off to protect 03:52:25.340 --> 03:52:32.300 Jan, Malusianti lurk. The bandit of course that's rather predictable and even the solos as well 03:52:32.300 --> 03:52:36.300 could be an interesting interaction. Seems like there's good read and good information as well 03:52:36.300 --> 03:52:42.860 with Dread's onsite here for KineTrip. So the early round is, I guess I'm not going in their favor. 03:52:42.860 --> 03:52:46.300 I think they'd be pretty pleased with their position at the moment. 03:52:46.300 --> 03:53:06.160 It's pretty default setup for CAG, which might lead into the line up that Kierna trip important 03:53:06.160 --> 03:53:07.160 to this round. 03:53:07.160 --> 03:53:08.160 They don't have to worry about the mirror. 03:53:08.160 --> 03:53:09.160 They banned that away. 03:53:09.160 --> 03:53:13.640 The guy you can then put pressure with the ball, so towards Janitor, try and see if Gatorada 03:53:13.640 --> 03:53:18.440 can find a pick towards front desk here on the rappel. It's going to be a patient kind of round 03:53:18.440 --> 03:53:21.960 for Kino Trope. I know there's only a minute and 10 seconds left, but it's all about the patients 03:53:21.960 --> 03:53:27.080 here. Can you find a pick? See if someone from CIG makes a misstep. And there you go. It's there, 03:53:27.080 --> 03:53:30.920 you got it. He's been given the time and space to warp stop square. And it's him again. He's got 03:53:30.920 --> 03:53:35.560 an all three of the opening kills for Kino Trope here on this map of bank. And now you can start 03:53:35.560 --> 03:53:42.040 to see the layering of the utility from Kino Trope. And what's that going to try and do is force CIG 03:53:42.040 --> 03:53:47.080 in a response, put them into again bad positions where they've got everyone on the attack in a 03:53:47.080 --> 03:53:53.560 good angle to deal with it. The credit to CIG, they haven't over-invested here in the response, 03:53:53.560 --> 03:53:59.320 they've still got both their nitrocells, they've still got long desk control and can deny any kind 03:53:59.320 --> 03:54:04.680 of pushing over the wall. Oh, that's a lovely upside down repel though from Kawao. And that 03:54:04.680 --> 03:54:09.480 should be the round. In fact, this is very clinical right now from Kiena trip and Boardswell 03:54:09.480 --> 03:54:14.360 for this half in a comeback attempt. So far, I haven't put a foot wrong. It's flawless. 03:54:14.360 --> 03:54:21.360 And I just wonder if that might force a tie-up out from CAG. Haven't come out of the half 03:54:21.360 --> 03:54:22.360 at all. 03:54:22.360 --> 03:54:29.200 No, they haven't. I would anticipate that they wait one more round, at least play out 03:54:29.200 --> 03:54:35.680 the first rotation and they can think things forward from there. But yeah, it has been 03:54:35.680 --> 03:54:42.640 rather dominant, more so that round as opposed to Basement, that's kind of the natural progression 03:54:42.640 --> 03:54:47.360 of the site. They've done a really good job there to put their playmakers in a position to apply 03:54:47.360 --> 03:54:53.760 pressure early on to CAG and then they've split the attack in such a way that it's difficult then 03:54:53.760 --> 03:54:59.760 for them to fight back positionally into the balance. So credit to Kinitro, they've put their 03:54:59.760 --> 03:55:06.080 best foot forward but the question will then be what's CAG's resilience like and are they able to 03:55:06.880 --> 03:55:12.320 quickly switch on here. Next slide will be again essentially another muscle infecinitrate. I think 03:55:12.320 --> 03:55:16.000 they need to put themselves in the best position before we see the the reattempts of these sites 03:55:16.000 --> 03:55:21.920 where CAG should be able to probably correct or adjust based on what they've seen so far. 03:55:21.920 --> 03:55:30.560 the side of a good side is that they don't panic. The benefit of having someone like 03:55:30.560 --> 03:55:36.200 D.D. who's been in that sort of coaching role before and can even just talk the team through 03:55:36.200 --> 03:55:38.200 things a little bit. 03:55:47.200 --> 03:55:49.200 It's the ninth round we go. 03:55:50.200 --> 03:55:54.200 Well the tails are up, they're for Gennetro. They've got the momentum. 03:55:55.200 --> 03:55:58.200 They may only be two rounds, but it's the way in which they've won the rounds. 03:55:58.200 --> 03:56:01.200 They've got the opening kills, Gatoradas starting to get involved. 03:56:01.200 --> 03:56:05.200 Now three kills in that previous round, flawless as well on the top floor. 03:56:05.200 --> 03:56:08.080 And it will be repeat so they don't take the time out 03:56:08.400 --> 03:56:13.920 But they will repeat lockers and cctv and this is when I do have to concern though guys because if you lose this 03:56:14.000 --> 03:56:17.520 It's five four. You've lost basement twice. Then you take the time out, but 03:56:18.320 --> 03:56:20.400 What what's the discussion going to be then? 03:56:21.120 --> 03:56:24.960 Do you go lockers and cctv again? They what how do you frame it? 03:56:25.600 --> 03:56:30.240 Now they had to take the time out and off the back of that gorm basement and the boss charif again 03:56:30.240 --> 03:56:35.960 That's his third opening down to so far here on bank and jippus who's very very low 03:56:38.480 --> 03:56:45.020 They're misplaying this massively for a lockers and CCTV if you've lost one this early on and jippus who's this low 03:56:45.680 --> 03:56:51.560 Huge advantage for KineTrope absolutely massive start here in the night and it's instead as well. What what is going on? 03:56:51.560 --> 03:57:00.880 And they seem eager to take a lot of these aggressive fights on the fringe of the map 03:57:00.880 --> 03:57:06.120 and a lot of kind of trope of meeting fire at the moment and they're a mechanically gifted 03:57:06.120 --> 03:57:11.240 team really capitalizing upon those opportunities. 03:57:11.240 --> 03:57:18.000 So Chibisu low, it's five versus sort of two and a half here for CHE. 03:57:18.000 --> 03:57:21.400 It's going to take some pretty big clutch work here otherwise they're going to find themselves 03:57:21.400 --> 03:57:26.980 over one pretty quickly here down below. Chibisu is going to make a play. It's such high risk 03:57:26.980 --> 03:57:34.400 but it doesn't have too many options at this point. Hatch open above. Chibisu will need 03:57:34.400 --> 03:57:39.520 to retreat. Now they're boxed in this defense. 03:57:39.520 --> 03:57:44.440 And you can't do much, but wait 03:57:46.200 --> 03:57:48.840 That's the concern you kind of have to let them 03:57:49.480 --> 03:57:55.960 Get set up for the execution the capitao bolts the candelas from the ying flash dumps as well available 03:57:56.080 --> 03:57:59.600 There's so much utility and with the extra two players again to choke 03:57:59.600 --> 03:58:02.940 This would have to be a massive through even on lockers and CCTV 03:58:03.240 --> 03:58:07.800 Factory in that that chip is so low on health and needs to be a bit of a frontman target 03:58:07.800 --> 03:58:09.880 Cast my turn out from DD man 03:58:13.080 --> 03:58:21.680 And wow immediate drop down from main stairs easy kill onto our Kali and it's falling apart CG have already called a tactical time now 03:58:24.400 --> 03:58:27.560 Wow, kina trip that is such a statement round 03:58:28.680 --> 03:58:35.480 They make it three straight on the attack and you have that wonder where did this come from there has not been a defensive 03:58:35.480 --> 03:58:42.480 round win on bank since the opening round. 03:59:05.480 --> 03:59:08.680 getting caught out and not being allowed to retreat towards side and then play more of 03:59:08.680 --> 03:59:15.580 a util focused game late. So credit goes to Kinatrack for enabling these entries. The 03:59:15.580 --> 03:59:21.620 entries have been absolutely snappy from them. That's a very straight-fag. That is an impressive 03:59:21.620 --> 03:59:30.320 streak and critically they've been able to convert them. So I think for Sparky and the 03:59:30.320 --> 03:59:35.360 boys on CAG. It's a case of let's refocus, let's try and formulate a plan to better withstand 03:59:35.360 --> 03:59:44.640 the pressure in the early round and then let the late round come to us. 03:59:44.640 --> 03:59:50.520 So out of the time out into the bands, the Ying tanking off along with the Goyo. No lockers 03:59:50.520 --> 03:59:55.440 CCTV again for CAG. They go staff in open area for the first time in the second half 03:59:55.440 --> 03:59:59.560 and hope that the new site choice will be a lot of success. 03:59:59.560 --> 04:00:02.720 It's been a testament to Key in a trope though, because they looked a little down and out 04:00:02.720 --> 04:00:06.960 and a little sorry for themselves after a 5-1 half that ended on a flawless. 04:00:06.960 --> 04:00:15.040 I mean, CHE were just at the top of their game, but Ayagata has, I mean, he's been 04:00:15.040 --> 04:00:16.040 sensational. 04:00:16.040 --> 04:00:17.560 He's gotten all four of their opening kills. 04:00:17.560 --> 04:00:21.360 Yes, he had a lot of opening deaths in the first half as well, but I think it's a testament 04:00:21.360 --> 04:00:24.800 to someone who is just knowing his role. 04:00:24.800 --> 04:00:29.400 He needs to take the early battles and he's been able to come out the other side down 04:00:29.400 --> 04:00:31.960 this second half on top. 04:00:31.960 --> 04:00:35.520 He's had seven opening engagements in nine rounds. 04:00:35.520 --> 04:00:38.760 That is a huge amount. 04:00:38.760 --> 04:00:42.640 If you would have put that into a percentile, that's at the higher end, like seven out of 04:00:42.640 --> 04:00:43.640 nine. 04:00:43.640 --> 04:00:50.720 I hope this isn't what I think it is. 04:00:50.720 --> 04:00:52.960 I feel like maybe the servers died again, but 04:00:54.400 --> 04:00:58.520 They are continuing on from that point. It really has been a massive difference maker 04:00:58.520 --> 04:01:01.520 Not just it not just the opening kills and isolation 04:01:01.520 --> 04:01:06.640 But I think more so than the ability of kinetrope to not allow the repunish from CAG who naturally will then 04:01:07.920 --> 04:01:12.080 Lean into a grassy and we'll try to take that space back or finding another flank or play a 04:01:12.360 --> 04:01:16.460 Opportunity also can a job is said nope, and they've very definitively been able to win out 04:01:17.440 --> 04:01:19.440 all three of these rounds 04:01:20.720 --> 04:01:25.520 the first one. I'll tell you what, KinoTrip don't want is if we are to have another delay, 04:01:25.520 --> 04:01:29.440 this is the worst time for them because they're hot right now. Yeah, I know for sure. 04:01:35.040 --> 04:01:37.360 This is where you type in chat, who's got the potato PC? 04:01:41.920 --> 04:01:47.440 Someone from CAG's. Someone's warming up the toaster. 04:01:50.720 --> 04:01:56.920 I think CIG more than happy to just kind of sit here and take a tiny little breather back in under way 04:01:57.920 --> 04:01:59.920 out of the time and honestly 04:02:00.600 --> 04:02:02.600 This is where 04:02:02.640 --> 04:02:05.200 That's a solid two and a half three minutes 04:02:05.200 --> 04:02:11.400 Maybe for CIG after that previous round loss when you factor in the tactical time out into the bands into a small little delay 04:02:11.520 --> 04:02:17.980 Just enough time to have that rebreather less pressure coming at you because Kina Trevor bought the pressure in these rounds 04:02:17.980 --> 04:02:19.980 And I think 04:02:20.380 --> 04:02:25.020 Anatom going on to the clash now is a huge change-up in strategy for CAG 04:02:25.420 --> 04:02:29.420 Didn't show it in the first three rounds. Maybe in fear of it being banned away 04:02:29.420 --> 04:02:33.900 I doubt it considering if you had three rounds to probably win the map 04:02:33.900 --> 04:02:37.900 You would have played it. I think this is more of an in response to what we've seen from KineTrop 04:02:37.900 --> 04:02:41.420 CAG probably didn't want to play the clash. They probably wanted to play aggressive 04:02:41.900 --> 04:02:47.420 Now it's a factor of okay. Well, KineTrop's hitting some good shots. Agate is getting free opening kills. Let's bring the clash 04:02:47.420 --> 04:02:53.020 Let's try and straw up the defense and they brought a lot of trap utility as well with the dadarian thorn 04:02:54.140 --> 04:02:56.540 You got plenty of barbed wire everywhere 04:02:59.300 --> 04:03:00.500 But anti 04:03:00.500 --> 04:03:05.460 The strut let's make as low as difficult as possible. I mean that said he's already still in a pretty commanding position 04:03:05.460 --> 04:03:08.460 I put a woods blue and then see a G maybe force to invest the clash 04:03:09.740 --> 04:03:14.940 Inti dealing with that for now. I zero in play as well here for round 10 04:03:14.940 --> 04:03:21.680 Pretty low pick rate but six cams available and so if you can manage that correctly a bank is a really good example of a map 04:03:21.680 --> 04:03:22.680 Word 04:03:22.680 --> 04:03:27.680 Actually quite useful. There's also a bunch of you to them up. You have to disrupt as well on top of 04:03:28.160 --> 04:03:33.660 The information and you can see the whole suite of that as you fix to I love this setup though from CAG 04:03:33.660 --> 04:03:35.260 Although Sharib is 04:03:35.260 --> 04:03:37.940 Good enough to get one and he's not gonna get a second 04:03:37.940 --> 04:03:40.540 But with an intense position bottom square he denies 04:03:40.540 --> 04:03:46.660 he's aegated the ability to push up from first floor to second floor through square. 04:03:46.660 --> 04:03:50.900 That means that for the second floor hold, which is very extensive, 04:03:50.900 --> 04:03:54.580 I see that you were only playing and still only playing one on the side. 04:03:54.580 --> 04:03:57.540 In Aniston's position, yes, he may be on the quote-unquote first floor, 04:03:57.540 --> 04:04:00.180 but what he's doing is denying the ability for 04:04:00.180 --> 04:04:03.020 Kienetrot to push up and pressure from square side. 04:04:03.020 --> 04:04:06.700 So you only have to watch the hallway angle rather than worrying about, 04:04:06.700 --> 04:04:09.540 is someone going to push up from first floor. 04:04:09.540 --> 04:04:13.120 And he's really denying a lot of space here for Kinnotrope. 04:04:13.120 --> 04:04:17.920 Now that's why Ayaget has now gone over to War's Main Stairs. 04:04:17.920 --> 04:04:19.680 They do find the kill onto Didi, man. 04:04:19.680 --> 04:04:20.680 He was the one inside. 04:04:20.680 --> 04:04:25.160 He was the only one inside. 04:04:25.160 --> 04:04:27.520 And so, Kinnotrope got another big advantage. 04:04:27.520 --> 04:04:31.760 And the power of the clash is just so much stronger when you have bodies around you. 04:04:31.760 --> 04:04:34.960 If you're playing it by yourself, you're a little bit more weaker, you're gonna have 04:04:34.960 --> 04:04:36.200 to spend more time with the shield. 04:04:36.200 --> 04:04:39.720 the cloud a good angle fight onto Chippis who went hunting 04:04:41.000 --> 04:04:47.560 once another one over towards stalk and that's our kali and genotrope on the verge of tying this map up 04:04:53.720 --> 04:04:57.240 okay i mean cg just don't know what to do defensively at the moment 04:04:57.800 --> 04:05:03.560 yeah at the moment genotrope just have a full read on them they're doing a really good job 04:05:03.560 --> 04:05:05.560 even into that kind of setup to just 04:05:06.200 --> 04:05:10.080 Agata in a put a gator in position where he's still able to pressure 04:05:10.080 --> 04:05:12.720 He's not necessarily going to be one netting big kill count in that round 04:05:12.720 --> 04:05:16.840 But he's still doing enough questioning the the castle set up there 04:05:17.120 --> 04:05:24.360 Sorry, the clash set up there in that round and the big investment that was made from CAG and it still doesn't work for them 04:05:25.960 --> 04:05:31.640 So it's a 5-5 scoreline in probably the most attack decided bank I think I have 04:05:31.640 --> 04:05:38.920 literally ever casted, which is saying a lot. Based on though, the test on CAG 04:05:38.920 --> 04:05:45.600 absolutely need to win this side. They're going aggressive. Rotations first 04:05:45.600 --> 04:05:50.680 floor, hatches open. Instead of going into the defensive and going into their 04:05:50.680 --> 04:05:54.200 shells, they're getting on even more on the front foot here. They want to try and 04:05:54.200 --> 04:05:59.520 kill Ayugator and contest him as early as possible. Then I'm taking any second 04:05:59.520 --> 04:06:15.520 and 04:06:15.520 --> 04:06:20.520 and this is do or die now for the C A G 04:06:20.520 --> 04:06:28.520 and a single defensive round is separating these two teams right now 04:06:28.520 --> 04:06:33.520 is really pushing it now considering what we've seen from Kierna Troupe. Even just down the way, 04:06:33.520 --> 04:06:37.520 just nonchalantly was pushing in towards Bop, Blue Stairs. 04:06:38.520 --> 04:06:43.520 And Chipposu watching over the ward staff though to make sure no one pushes through Electrical. 04:06:43.520 --> 04:06:45.520 Got Arata on the Nook. 04:06:46.520 --> 04:06:51.520 And Kierna Troupe, you've got to just say, have been so exceptional in the second half. 04:06:51.520 --> 04:06:52.520 half. 04:06:52.520 --> 04:06:57.640 Got one adding in the opening kills, they've had multiple multi-kills from Aeya Gator, 04:06:57.640 --> 04:07:03.320 Gatorada, Akayu, they're getting early picks around the two-minute mark quite often. 04:07:03.320 --> 04:07:09.040 But this time it goes the other way, as Anerton fires the shot and shuts down the Blackbeard. 04:07:09.040 --> 04:07:13.160 They did get the opening kill in the previous round, but this one might have more effect. 04:07:13.160 --> 04:07:18.720 No Blackbeard basement on Bank and puts a lot of pressure on Gatorada to probably get 04:07:18.720 --> 04:07:25.360 this kill and an over peek from our cully you have to beg the question of why why do you need to 04:07:25.360 --> 04:07:34.400 over peek that yeah makes it awkward when the road's now going to be under immediate pressure 04:07:34.400 --> 04:07:40.320 and similar response there's a big owner some responsibility on katarata again in this round 04:07:40.320 --> 04:07:45.040 having impacts his position of course is known so he's lost that element of surprise 04:07:45.040 --> 04:07:52.420 you just don't have to feed him yeah it's a difficult position and it prompts the 04:07:52.420 --> 04:07:55.620 rotate understandably so but the options here are now pretty limited for 04:07:55.620 --> 04:08:01.420 kinitro shereep also in archives so keep that in mind there's a rotate as well 04:08:01.420 --> 04:08:09.100 well surely this is around the cg can tuck away 60 seconds left shereep 04:08:09.100 --> 04:08:15.520 lovely just didn't over swing didn't over play his position waited for the 04:08:15.520 --> 04:08:21.220 opportune time until Koal would walk into his sightlight and gets his reward 04:08:21.220 --> 04:08:26.100 and the downside for Gatorade he was so deep over in garage that by the time he 04:08:26.100 --> 04:08:29.280 actually gets out of garage makes his way back into the building through lobby 04:08:29.280 --> 04:08:33.220 there's only 40 seconds left in a 2v4 for all the good work of Kina Trevor 04:08:33.220 --> 04:08:38.440 bringing this game back it is still gonna end up in a map point scenario for 04:08:38.440 --> 04:08:46.160 CAG finally it's taking them some time but they secure overtime at minimum and 04:08:46.160 --> 04:08:52.720 finally able to get their first defensive round in the half as a Clare 04:08:52.720 --> 04:08:58.920 cannot win out against Sherry as CAG return to the winning side of things 04:08:58.920 --> 04:09:03.120 for the first time since the sixth round stopping a full round win streak of 04:09:03.120 --> 04:09:05.360 Kinatro 65 map point 04:09:06.800 --> 04:09:13.560 Yeah, and puts to end a nine round streak on the side of attack shed across both teams it was 04:09:14.360 --> 04:09:20.960 quite remarkable just how how strong and how well both teams were able to attack in quick succession, but 04:09:22.440 --> 04:09:27.420 As kind of expected finally basement sees success for the defense 04:09:28.440 --> 04:09:31.520 Anatomaphir can kill and then conversion from the others 04:09:33.120 --> 04:09:38.280 and got a rather unfortunate, they were unable to have meaningful impact in that 04:09:38.280 --> 04:09:45.600 round outside of the singular kill garage. Back to the top floor and this 04:09:45.600 --> 04:09:51.080 will pose a challenge for the defense. It seems like the clash is going to once 04:09:51.080 --> 04:09:55.560 again be introduced, hitting over towards elevator, so you have to try to 04:09:55.560 --> 04:09:58.280 leverage that previously. And it was actually dealt with pretty well by 04:09:58.280 --> 04:10:01.720 Kenneth Trope who you look across at the lineup are gonna have a pretty big 04:10:01.720 --> 04:10:05.440 bulk of utility explosives on sixes potentially as well. 04:10:05.440 --> 04:10:08.840 So, Addison's gonna have a lot to juggle in his regard, 04:10:08.840 --> 04:10:11.000 and I don't think they can necessarily fully rely 04:10:11.000 --> 04:10:14.600 on that clash being sort of a permanent fixture in the round 04:10:14.600 --> 04:10:16.480 in terms of that shield being available 04:10:16.480 --> 04:10:18.200 and actually being in a playable area. 04:10:18.200 --> 04:10:23.240 It's gonna be a task to juggle that. 04:10:23.240 --> 04:10:25.280 And then you consider it with the mirror band out 04:10:25.280 --> 04:10:27.160 that there's Janvonricle. 04:10:29.160 --> 04:10:31.000 It's gonna be quite a tricky round 04:10:31.000 --> 04:10:37.000 for the defense, so we'll see how they try and look at that. 04:10:37.000 --> 04:10:40.000 Madden the pressure as well. 04:10:40.000 --> 04:10:49.000 We're able to avoid the match point scenario for so long, Cunichord. 04:10:49.000 --> 04:10:52.000 And in 7 now for Gatorada's been their best. 04:10:52.000 --> 04:10:56.000 And Iigata's 9 and 7, including the opening round. 04:11:01.000 --> 04:11:05.000 It's interesting, he's after that 7 out of 9 straight for Iigata in the opening engagements. 04:11:05.000 --> 04:11:12.000 It's the last two rounds that he hasn't been as involved, and most importantly in the previous round they lost. 04:11:12.000 --> 04:11:14.000 And Iigata goes on to the Blackbeard. 04:11:14.000 --> 04:11:18.200 for the first time we see shield play from a gator and you just have to wonder 04:11:18.200 --> 04:11:23.440 will that potentially limit his ability to have an impact early in the round 04:11:24.840 --> 04:11:30.320 oh good angle from a car you guess really good damage into add-on I think 04:11:30.320 --> 04:11:35.320 it's a shoot as well right so again that's what I mean about before actually 04:11:35.320 --> 04:11:38.800 retaining the shield is in we such a challenge into that lineup and yeah 04:11:38.800 --> 04:11:40.800 on Q, KineTrap has done a good job dealing with him. 04:11:42.800 --> 04:11:43.800 It's gonna stay without the shield. 04:11:44.800 --> 04:11:49.800 He's probably still a big factor, but now while on health and only SMG, yeah, he's easily dealt with. 04:11:49.800 --> 04:11:51.800 And it is, Ayaketa, that finds the opening kill. 04:11:51.800 --> 04:11:53.800 That's a good omen for KineTrap. 04:11:57.800 --> 04:12:01.800 Every single time Ayaketa's got the opening pick in this half, they've gone on to win the round. 04:12:01.800 --> 04:12:06.800 And with DD-Man down on the soloist, it's a 5v3 and becomes theirs to lose. 04:12:08.800 --> 04:12:14.220 They have double nitrope, but actually leveraging that is going to be very difficult 04:12:14.860 --> 04:12:16.860 Getting a trip in such a good position 04:12:18.400 --> 04:12:20.400 Hang on a second 04:12:20.680 --> 04:12:23.160 CIG haven't gone for the revival of DD man 04:12:23.160 --> 04:12:26.840 But he is in a revival position potentially towards long-test depending on the angles 04:12:27.040 --> 04:12:30.540 She was trying to fight over what stock has got her out of caught over the wall spiral 04:12:31.000 --> 04:12:38.100 The class what about the plane side of CEO the cheapest who catches Koel that will they've tried to make a lot of different entries in different positions 04:12:38.100 --> 04:12:41.220 They're just feeding 1v1s, but Eklat wins that one. 04:12:41.220 --> 04:12:47.300 They do get the revive on a DD man, which keeps the advantage with CAG 3v2 in the last 30 seconds. 04:12:47.300 --> 04:12:49.580 Eklat and Akayu are split. 04:12:49.580 --> 04:12:54.100 They're just solo, Shirit watching towards the Janitor doorway position. 04:12:54.100 --> 04:12:57.020 They still remain with two nitrocells available too. 04:12:57.020 --> 04:13:00.460 If Akayu is to make his way in, they don't have any smokes. 04:13:00.460 --> 04:13:07.700 He's caught towards top square, and this might be map done despite what looked like a great start to their outfakina trope. 04:13:07.700 --> 04:13:11.700 It comes to a close with CAG taking their map pick. 04:13:11.700 --> 04:13:14.700 A strange old map of Bank. 04:13:14.700 --> 04:13:16.700 It was a 5-1-1 to CAG. 04:13:16.700 --> 04:13:19.700 It seemed like it was going to be an easy ride. 04:13:19.700 --> 04:13:22.700 But like a rollercoaster with ups and downs, 04:13:22.700 --> 04:13:24.700 it still ends with the same result. 04:13:24.700 --> 04:13:26.700 CAG, get the win. 04:14:07.700 --> 04:14:20.420 I'm a support player in the team. 04:14:20.420 --> 04:14:30.380 At first, I started playing as a battleground, but there were too many hacks in the battleground, so I looked for a game with my friends and went to the restaurant. 04:14:30.380 --> 04:14:38.580 Battleground was not like a game that was just a game, so I liked to move the strategy. 04:14:38.580 --> 04:14:43.780 And that's why I think it was fun to play the same way. 04:14:43.780 --> 04:14:53.140 There are certainly both fun, but since I'm a little job-oriented, I'm fun, but I had a sense of pressure. 04:14:53.140 --> 04:14:55.140 I only have 4 years of age difference between me and you. 04:14:55.140 --> 04:14:57.140 Well, you and I... 04:14:58.140 --> 04:15:00.140 I don't really know you. 04:15:00.140 --> 04:15:03.140 I think I went to the PC room the most. 04:15:03.140 --> 04:15:08.140 I think I went to the middle school the most. 04:15:08.140 --> 04:15:10.140 I think I went to the most. 04:15:10.140 --> 04:15:16.140 The season of Nomad came about 4 years ago. 04:15:16.140 --> 04:15:18.140 I was just ranking. 04:15:18.140 --> 04:15:25.020 I was nervous because it was so different from the regular rank test. 04:15:25.020 --> 04:15:29.620 I was nervous and a little bit difficult to play with the people I met for the first time. 04:15:29.620 --> 04:15:35.140 I didn't know much about it, but I wasn't nervous about the competition scene. 04:15:35.140 --> 04:15:41.020 I was a little bit shy, so I didn't get nervous with the people. 04:15:41.020 --> 04:15:42.820 I think there was a little pressure. 04:15:42.820 --> 04:15:47.740 I felt like I had to do well because I was the first pro player in the tournament. 04:15:47.740 --> 04:15:50.740 18th Floor Calculance 04:18:17.740 --> 04:18:20.740 The one who will make the way to the faraway world. 04:18:20.740 --> 04:18:23.740 Even if it's a long distance, it's sweet. 04:18:23.740 --> 04:18:28.740 Even if it's a little bit, let me call you in this world. 04:18:30.740 --> 04:18:37.740 You're the last hope to melt away. 04:18:38.740 --> 04:18:41.740 It doesn't matter if it's a lie. 04:18:41.740 --> 04:18:44.740 It's the only thing I don't need. 04:18:47.740 --> 04:18:49.740 You're the only one I need 04:18:49.740 --> 04:18:52.740 This is the last big thing 04:18:52.740 --> 04:18:54.740 I don't care what you say 04:18:54.740 --> 04:18:57.740 I don't care if it's a lie 04:18:57.740 --> 04:19:01.740 I don't care if it's a lie 04:19:01.740 --> 04:19:02.740 You're so 04:19:02.740 --> 04:19:04.740 Oh, oh, oh 04:19:04.740 --> 04:19:06.740 That I don't care 04:19:06.740 --> 04:19:08.740 Oh, oh, oh 04:19:08.740 --> 04:19:10.740 That I don't care 04:19:10.740 --> 04:19:12.740 Oh, oh, oh 04:20:12.740 --> 04:20:34.720 Well, a turbulent bank which led with a 5-1-1-1 for CAG ended up being a 7-5 result. 04:20:34.720 --> 04:20:36.220 That was a good fight back from Keenatrope. 04:20:36.220 --> 04:20:40.620 They strung together four rounds straight to tie it up 5-5, but CAG come out the other 04:20:40.620 --> 04:20:41.900 side for the better. 04:20:41.900 --> 04:20:47.360 They get the result that they were searching for, which is taking away KineTrips' map and 04:20:47.360 --> 04:20:50.800 putting themselves in the best position to qualify for the Grand Final now on the layer 04:20:50.800 --> 04:20:51.800 to follow. 04:20:51.800 --> 04:20:54.880 Yeah, I mean, it's what I was volatile to say the least. 04:20:54.880 --> 04:20:58.160 It was an incredibly attack-assided map across the board. 04:20:58.160 --> 04:21:00.560 That was true in both halves. 04:21:00.560 --> 04:21:02.760 COG kickstarted quite nicely. 04:21:02.760 --> 04:21:07.440 They were able to kickstart some serious momentum after that big clutch from Aniston, and then 04:21:07.440 --> 04:21:10.120 able to kind of roll that forward. 04:21:10.120 --> 04:21:14.400 But then as we transitioned into the second half, Kinatrapra was able to dip into some 04:21:14.400 --> 04:21:16.720 expertise of their own. 04:21:16.720 --> 04:21:21.760 They were very strong, particularly on the basement site, in keeping CIG on us, off the 04:21:21.760 --> 04:21:24.120 objective and then being able to convert. 04:21:24.120 --> 04:21:31.520 But eventually the Danwall did end up breaking and CIG were good enough to just get the job 04:21:31.520 --> 04:21:32.520 done. 04:21:32.520 --> 04:21:34.800 It was suddenly very, very close. 04:21:34.800 --> 04:21:39.920 but ultimately they were too good in the end in terms of setting up the series. 04:21:39.920 --> 04:21:44.880 Well, that was the selection of Kinatrop, so for COG, it's looking pretty rough from here. 04:21:45.840 --> 04:21:50.960 We had the hands ahead earlier with Agada and Garada, even though they're on the same team. 04:21:53.200 --> 04:21:57.600 I think that for these two, it was pretty clear cut, wasn't it, on Bank, that if they were going 04:21:57.600 --> 04:22:02.240 to get the job done, it was going to come from them. Agada with the opening kills and his ability 04:22:02.240 --> 04:22:06.320 to impact the game early on in rounds and then probably get Arata at times towards maybe the 04:22:06.320 --> 04:22:11.840 latter stages of the round. So he ended up with eight opening engagements across the 12 rounds 04:22:11.840 --> 04:22:16.400 played, which is still a significant margin. He went 5-3. So I mean, that's a win. That's a good 04:22:16.400 --> 04:22:21.520 result. But it also meant that if he did get those opening deaths, which we saw quite more of in the 04:22:21.520 --> 04:22:26.160 first half, they were very susceptible without him. And they lost a lot of firepower. Got Arata, 04:22:26.160 --> 04:22:30.640 got a 3k in the eighth round, which was on the top floor. He had a big involvement. That was a 04:22:30.640 --> 04:22:36.520 a flawless round. They both went to 10-8, 0 opening engagements from Gatorada. So maybe 04:22:36.520 --> 04:22:41.440 wanted to see them actually split that workload a little bit more in the early portions off 04:22:41.440 --> 04:22:45.480 the round, but different roles. And certainly the way that Agator was playing, he took the 04:22:45.480 --> 04:22:50.240 full onus on himself to get into the building in the second half, find the early picks and 04:22:50.240 --> 04:22:55.160 he did a really good job of that picking up 4 opening kills in the second half, but no 04:22:55.160 --> 04:22:59.880 opening deaths. So he went 4-0 in that second half on the Attacked Bank. That was a big, 04:22:59.880 --> 04:23:05.800 after him. Not enough though clearly to get the job done and so Gatorados is just going over some 04:23:05.800 --> 04:23:11.640 notes of play. Yeah, they're in a Discord screen share at the moment so clearly they've got some 04:23:12.440 --> 04:23:18.840 ideas brewing here on the second map and so fingers crossed ends up being a decently 04:23:19.720 --> 04:23:25.320 competitive outfit. I struggled to do the visual one which is near as attack aside as what we 04:23:25.320 --> 04:23:31.480 we saw back on bank, I think that that would surely be a bit of a one-off, but you know, 04:23:31.480 --> 04:23:38.520 I think we've come to expect the unexpected here in APL. But yeah, I think we'll be jumping 04:23:38.520 --> 04:23:43.800 in pretty soon. So excited. Heading over to Leather, there's got to be concerns now for Kierna 04:23:43.800 --> 04:23:49.080 Troek considering what CIG did to V-plus last time. But if I did want to add a spin to it, 04:23:49.080 --> 04:23:55.160 the result that CIG got against V-plus Kier as we spoke to Howlard, spoke to PJ was largely 04:23:55.160 --> 04:24:01.240 in result to counter-stradding. So it was more a case of what CAG did to not only stop what D-plus 04:24:01.240 --> 04:24:06.040 would like to do there, but also the best ways to play against how D-plus play, which does lead 04:24:06.040 --> 04:24:09.800 then to the conversation, well, they're not playing D-plus today. They're playing KineTrip. 04:24:09.800 --> 04:24:14.360 And KineTrip's going to play there very differently to how D-plus played it. And so it might not be 04:24:14.360 --> 04:24:19.480 a case of, oh, well, CAG, you know, beat a very good team 71 on it, therefore, to translate across 04:24:19.480 --> 04:24:23.240 to KineTrip. It very well may not. You know, the way that KineTrip, like, maybe want to enter the 04:24:23.240 --> 04:24:27.600 the building, all the strategies they bring to this map will very much differ, you would 04:24:27.600 --> 04:24:29.760 imagine, to what D-plus did. 04:24:29.760 --> 04:24:34.360 So I'm not going to completely just talk this up as like guaranteed, Bang on, CJ 100% 04:24:34.360 --> 04:24:35.360 going to win it. 04:24:35.360 --> 04:24:37.760 They're going to go in as favourites, it's their map, they clearly had a good result 04:24:37.760 --> 04:24:38.760 in the last time. 04:24:38.760 --> 04:24:43.800 But I'm curious to see what KineTrip are going to do to offer a point of difference. 04:24:43.800 --> 04:24:53.120 Yeah, based on what we've seen so far, I think there's a very strong chance that they try 04:24:53.120 --> 04:24:58.760 and really leverage Aegator specifically on entry, put him on the likes of the Snake or 04:24:58.760 --> 04:25:04.560 the Deimos or some kind of info gather, Dokka B, et cetera, something in that realm, and 04:25:04.560 --> 04:25:11.240 have the pre-placed or droning live in front of him to try and facilitate that entry battle. 04:25:11.240 --> 04:25:14.760 it was clearly very successful back on bank and I don't see Levin massively 04:25:14.760 --> 04:25:18.760 indifferent in that sense that he'll be able to have that license maybe try and 04:25:18.760 --> 04:25:22.880 isolate a couple of picks or whatever the case may be so I think it's gonna be a 04:25:22.880 --> 04:25:28.400 big you know potential win condition for them but equally CAG now probably 04:25:28.400 --> 04:25:32.640 I've clued into that a little bit more and maybe on Levin especially being their 04:25:32.640 --> 04:25:35.560 selection they'll probably be a little bit more comfortable I think in actually 04:25:35.560 --> 04:25:38.800 countering that back on bank but I think we did see them be a little bit 04:25:38.800 --> 04:25:42.560 half-hearted in some of the ways that they do try and counter and eventually it clicked but 04:25:43.360 --> 04:25:47.440 Yeah, I think the expectation will be that it's a little more refined here on the second map 04:25:48.560 --> 04:25:56.280 To the second map we go. Lea is calling as CAG one map away from booking their place in the grand final for kickoff 04:25:56.280 --> 04:26:00.160 Forget a reminder when it comes to APAC north there's only be one slot 04:26:00.840 --> 04:26:06.400 And they have to win the grand final to book their place in solid lake city 04:26:06.400 --> 04:26:25.400 The better news for A-Pack North as well is that their one slot, when we kind of talk about the slots, is that whoever the team that does go into the Major, best performing from the A-Pack regions can potentially then get an extra slot for the next coming stage. 04:26:25.400 --> 04:26:29.840 So, you know, CIG here in hot form, I think they're the kind of team that again, they 04:26:29.840 --> 04:26:33.280 could either go dead last to the major or probably get a top eight finish. 04:26:33.280 --> 04:26:38.680 So, I think A-Pack North would probably like to see CIG actually go over there to have 04:26:38.680 --> 04:26:40.960 the best chance of maybe getting a second slot in stage one. 04:26:43.720 --> 04:26:45.800 Yeah, certainly a possibility. 04:26:46.720 --> 04:26:49.440 Well, I mean, unless you'd like to go yourself, though, of course. 04:26:53.000 --> 04:26:53.520 No doubt. 04:26:53.520 --> 04:27:00.340 the bands for the first half it's the bandit mirror and a double shield so the 04:27:00.340 --> 04:27:04.440 monty and the Blitz taken out clearly kinetrope feeling and sensing that the 04:27:04.440 --> 04:27:09.720 pressure that anitton was able to create especially back on bank on the Blitz 04:27:09.720 --> 04:27:15.240 specifically several clutch moments as well they don't want to deal with that 04:27:15.240 --> 04:27:19.280 here on Lair and you think about some of the hallway straight points etc that 04:27:19.280 --> 04:27:22.680 this map has to offer I kind of prefer the Blitz or the Monty would have been 04:27:22.680 --> 04:27:27.640 very very strong selection so and it's a really force to pivot like the answer 04:27:27.640 --> 04:27:32.100 the likes of the the glass maybe even before some type of hard bridge in the 04:27:32.100 --> 04:27:35.600 sense of the case for the second round 04:27:44.880 --> 04:27:50.280 and the fact that Q-na-trupe at least get to start defense is is probably a 04:27:50.280 --> 04:27:55.080 a good saving grace coming into CAG's map pit. But it means you still got to get the 04:27:55.080 --> 04:27:59.000 round wins. And if you do give up quite a few attacking rounds in this first half, then 04:27:59.000 --> 04:28:04.120 it's going to be a long way back. Well, surprise, surprise. No surprises. Aya Gator opening 04:28:04.120 --> 04:28:11.840 kill on to Sharip. He has been sensational. Five zero technically in the last five. So 04:28:11.840 --> 04:28:17.640 he started one three in the first half from bank. And then since then five straight to 04:28:17.640 --> 04:28:23.780 Aya Gator and in his opening opening battles and and what a perfect way to start here on land you get rid of the doccabee 04:28:23.780 --> 04:28:25.780 Sharib's obviously a top player and 04:28:26.140 --> 04:28:29.020 You can just go back play site fortify up and 04:28:29.780 --> 04:28:32.700 Cg it's just very unlikely to get much from this round now 04:28:36.780 --> 04:28:43.180 Can change quickly and they do still have I guess all of the pieces needed to probably take this site still up 04:28:47.640 --> 04:28:57.760 Yeah, it's not the end of the world territory just yet for this round, but it's gonna be 04:28:57.760 --> 04:28:58.760 a grind. 04:28:58.760 --> 04:28:59.880 They have the key pieces. 04:28:59.880 --> 04:29:04.540 They can still open the two primary heart breaches, try and activate the glass and cut 04:29:04.540 --> 04:29:10.360 off some lines of sight, no med for a bit of crack control as well. 04:29:10.360 --> 04:29:15.520 Having a holding the docker bee is nice, but it's not essential in this particular site. 04:29:15.520 --> 04:29:17.520 That's it, he's at the plant there initially. 04:29:18.720 --> 04:29:27.220 Oh, and Tibius is the big one. If they're gonna win this round, it's off of the back of him, and he does at least get a kill onto a Clare. 04:29:28.320 --> 04:29:32.920 Now, there isn't a Nitro Cell available for Kierna Troupe, but they don't have the smoke. 04:29:32.920 --> 04:29:39.020 So no gas babes, there's not really long-range denial towards Mask, and they don't have the clash. 04:29:39.020 --> 04:29:43.880 Defensively, Kierner trope, I'm missing quite a few pieces here and denying the ability for 04:29:43.880 --> 04:29:47.720 C.A.G. to just, you know, lay a smoke, get plant down in mask, and allow Chippus to then 04:29:47.720 --> 04:29:48.720 hold the angle. 04:29:48.720 --> 04:29:52.880 Chippus is going to be very careful though here, overwars Armory. 04:29:52.880 --> 04:29:53.880 He needs to stay alive. 04:29:53.880 --> 04:29:57.400 He's a big piece to the puzzle for C.A.G. if they are to win this round. 04:29:57.400 --> 04:29:59.200 Kanarana keeping him at bay. 04:29:59.200 --> 04:30:04.520 There's only 40 seconds left as DD man takes mezz control, slips down server, maybe sensing 04:30:04.520 --> 04:30:07.320 that there's a gap here in the defense, and boy, is there ever. 04:30:07.320 --> 04:30:12.840 I'm an awards display. He's able to clean out a lot of information, but Chibisu dies to the nitrosault 04:30:12.840 --> 04:30:16.000 Akali is dead to Akali and Didi man 04:30:16.200 --> 04:30:21.200 Well, he got his job done in terms of infiltrating from behind. Anatoin will go for the play inside of R6 04:30:21.200 --> 04:30:26.240 This is certainly not the conventional way that you'll attack into this round more often than not and Koua 04:30:26.360 --> 04:30:29.920 Is able to shut down Anatoin as Kinoshita will take top floor 04:30:31.600 --> 04:30:37.040 Yeah, I think CEG if they had their time over would have better formulated a plan to play you 04:30:37.320 --> 04:30:42.760 around DD and I'm sure it was being communicated and they're kind of in positions where it was a 04:30:42.760 --> 04:30:48.360 little tricky given where the diffuser was to actually pivot that quickly, play off here, 04:30:48.360 --> 04:30:54.520 maybe go for a late pivot to the R6 room position. So it was a little tough and the 04:30:54.520 --> 04:30:57.320 round certainly played out in a fashion that was pretty unconventional. 04:30:58.440 --> 04:31:05.080 It's also top four. So again, it's expected that defense will be very successful there and 04:31:05.080 --> 04:31:08.520 It's a similar storyline that will translate towards basement as well 04:31:09.480 --> 04:31:12.840 but for me the key takeaway really was the beginning of that round. 04:31:12.840 --> 04:31:18.920 Aeya Gator, again, he's been absolutely stacking kills on entry at the moment, 04:31:18.920 --> 04:31:21.000 really setting his team up nicely. 04:31:21.000 --> 04:31:38.280 I'm just around though that CIG is probably not too fast about losing it is master and 04:31:38.280 --> 04:31:42.560 R6 for that basement. 04:31:42.560 --> 04:31:48.520 Then last time out we saw CIG on there was last week and it was a 5-1 defensive half 04:31:48.520 --> 04:31:55.800 that really set them up against D plus Kia and I won 2-0 in the attacking half 04:31:55.800 --> 04:32:02.600 to close it out 7-1. Technically, Kinetro has already done better than D plus 04:32:02.600 --> 04:32:09.200 did on the defense against CAG even if it did get a little bit messy. So alt is all 04:32:09.200 --> 04:32:16.080 that matters. And considering the sledge and the ramp had been brought in the 04:32:16.080 --> 04:32:22.240 second round you have to expect that for COG it's not going to be a direct hit they will go for the top down clear 04:32:24.760 --> 04:32:27.360 And Jimmy's who will aid in that with the doccaby calls 04:32:34.920 --> 04:32:37.680 The KineTrip pressing some questions all which 04:32:38.520 --> 04:32:44.600 And again, hey guys, I mean it's ounces out of nowhere finds our culley and with that 04:32:44.600 --> 04:32:46.600 It's advantage KineTrip again. 04:32:49.760 --> 04:32:52.000 I'll tell you what, KineTrip lose this series. 04:32:52.000 --> 04:32:53.600 Agate is gonna sit back and lie. 04:32:53.600 --> 04:32:55.600 Well, I've done everything I possibly can for these guys. 04:32:55.600 --> 04:32:56.600 I don't know what else you want me to do. 04:32:56.600 --> 04:32:59.600 He sits nothing straight in terms of opening kill engagements 04:32:59.600 --> 04:33:01.600 from the second half of Bank to the start of Lair. 04:33:04.600 --> 04:33:06.600 Generado is pinched. 04:33:06.600 --> 04:33:09.600 That's a really good play for C.A.G. though to catch him. 04:33:09.600 --> 04:33:18.120 But a Clare able to shut down Shereepe. 04:33:18.120 --> 04:33:24.500 It's been a serious to forget for Shereepe, he's a high impact player on his best days 04:33:24.500 --> 04:33:30.480 but last thing stands he's got the lowest percentage cost, he's got the worst entry 04:33:30.480 --> 04:33:38.420 differential at least in terms of the KD department now only 910 but it's been trending 04:33:38.420 --> 04:33:39.420 downwards. 04:33:39.420 --> 04:33:52.980 Oh, again, he survives, that was an opportunity, maybe presenting itself for CAG. 04:33:52.980 --> 04:33:59.940 There's a lot of, uh, quite a bit of utility here, uh, full bottle of flashes. 04:33:59.940 --> 04:34:04.980 Oh, I thought that was catch out, Koal, that was a big overpeak. 04:34:04.980 --> 04:34:09.980 What an angle though to be fair, it's a very tight angle for Titi to hit that shot. 04:34:09.980 --> 04:34:12.980 He has connected onto Koal, and it's a taken low on the Blackbeard. 04:34:12.980 --> 04:34:15.980 Jip is still fighting over towards Lab, he's got two different fights though going on at once. 04:34:15.980 --> 04:34:18.980 Claire was knocked, he is down at the moment. 04:34:18.980 --> 04:34:22.980 Akai can not go for that raise, he's getting aggressed upon, it leaves it down at Eagator. 04:34:22.980 --> 04:34:24.980 The man who starts it all now needs to finish it. 04:34:24.980 --> 04:34:30.980 As Titi goes to the plant, and that impacts, that's like when you're trying to throw a punch in your dreams, 04:34:30.980 --> 04:34:32.980 it just didn't go far at all. 04:34:32.980 --> 04:34:34.980 And that's it 04:34:34.980 --> 04:34:39.780 No, he says just hold create an angle create space for DD met. Oh my goodness. Hey a gator 04:34:40.960 --> 04:34:48.780 Gets rid of anitin with ease and creates the 1v1 against DD and clutched up earlier on bank in they said 1v1 04:34:48.780 --> 04:34:50.780 It does it again. Wow 04:34:51.160 --> 04:34:56.180 It's the clutch master apparently versus the opening engage king 04:34:57.020 --> 04:35:00.960 But in that moment, it's on DD's battleground. He clutches up again 04:35:00.960 --> 04:35:03.960 And C.A.G. are on the board on there. 04:35:03.960 --> 04:35:05.960 He's like, not bad for a coach. 04:35:05.960 --> 04:35:08.960 That's not a coach anymore. 04:35:08.960 --> 04:35:10.960 That's two really composed 1v1s. 04:35:10.960 --> 04:35:14.960 And I mean, A.Gate is clearly the most dangerous 04:35:14.960 --> 04:35:16.960 and the scariest man inside of the server at the moment. 04:35:16.960 --> 04:35:18.960 And despite being very pinged, 04:35:18.960 --> 04:35:21.960 he was able to hold his nerve and win out that fight. 04:35:21.960 --> 04:35:23.960 He's a recovery effort from C.A.G. 04:35:23.960 --> 04:35:25.960 They were able to, in the three versus four, 04:35:25.960 --> 04:35:27.960 I was like, very nasty shot. 04:35:27.960 --> 04:35:28.960 They covered the round. 04:35:28.960 --> 04:35:34.560 Look, DD finished the round, but he also opened it up, the opportunity there by finding that kill, assisting on the flood. 04:35:34.560 --> 04:35:39.360 And while there's nothing he could do, yeah, there's nothing he could do to help Anatoin, but yeah. 04:35:39.360 --> 04:35:42.960 On the red ping, he wins that fight, really well timed swing. 04:35:42.960 --> 04:35:47.960 And so, well, Kinnotrape again, they're leveraging agate really nicely. 04:35:47.960 --> 04:35:54.960 You can't turn into a situation where it's him or nothing. There needs to be a little more structure around him. 04:35:54.960 --> 04:35:59.960 You look at the numbers here so for CAG across again looking at both maps here 04:35:59.960 --> 04:36:05.000 But like did he's actually the highest dragon with 11 kills the lowest is shoot with nine 04:36:05.080 --> 04:36:08.980 But you've got three players that have got nine and then obviously anitin then with ten 04:36:08.980 --> 04:36:10.800 So like you can clearly see that for CAG 04:36:10.800 --> 04:36:12.800 This is just a full spread team effort 04:36:13.040 --> 04:36:18.440 Then you go to Kinect route and a gay has got 14 the kai's got seven and then you get the so there's a gap 04:36:18.440 --> 04:36:20.440 So it's not quite as 04:36:20.440 --> 04:36:28.160 even a CAG. It really is kind of Aya Gator of Bust at the moment. As Kali finds a very 04:36:28.160 --> 04:36:32.520 early opening kill and stops this streak for Aya Gator, even if Aya Gator is not the one 04:36:32.520 --> 04:36:37.120 who died, he's also not the one who got the opening kill. And again that puts the pressure 04:36:37.120 --> 04:36:41.160 though. It almost is like, oh well look at that, someone else got into an early engagement, 04:36:41.160 --> 04:36:45.880 they die. Aya Gator then probably senses that he has to do it and the concern for me will 04:36:45.880 --> 04:36:50.840 be what happens is if he overaggresses in that department. If CIG streams together a couple 04:36:50.840 --> 04:36:56.600 of rounds, he may then put too much emphasis on having to be the one to get that opening kill 04:36:56.600 --> 04:37:00.200 and might put himself in actually disadvantaged positions. 04:37:00.200 --> 04:37:22.540 so the sense he's the only one that's got an unopened kill for kinectro the sense in 04:37:22.540 --> 04:37:30.700 play for CAG this round so I'll be going to mitigate the need to clear the vert and instead 04:37:30.700 --> 04:37:34.300 can be a little bit more of a direct approach here. They've also alleviated some pressure 04:37:34.300 --> 04:37:38.260 by finding the first one to come out and they'll spend some time now being able to prepare 04:37:38.260 --> 04:37:43.740 themselves on green side. I have the XO-Femex as well to expose the objective and it should 04:37:43.740 --> 04:37:48.620 be pretty straightforward with the Nome to cut off the flanks. This should be a pretty 04:37:48.620 --> 04:37:52.320 Scrim style round for CAG where they're able to have the freedom to set up 04:37:52.320 --> 04:37:56.140 They can shot calls synchronize and just execute upon the play that they've probably done 04:37:57.960 --> 04:37:59.960 Dozens of times at this point 04:37:59.960 --> 04:38:01.960 It's an 80% execution base from here 04:38:02.600 --> 04:38:06.240 80% plant rate as well for CAG in this series on their attacks 04:38:06.880 --> 04:38:10.000 So that's something to be concerned about for Kena Troat 04:38:10.000 --> 04:38:14.520 Yeah, they're just finding it too easy to get the plants down and that's a big kill perfectly timed 04:38:14.520 --> 04:38:19.680 Now DD man has been doing a tremendous job in being able to grab kick get it on the ground 04:38:20.480 --> 04:38:22.480 Getting into the right positions 04:38:23.680 --> 04:38:29.480 Well, they've lost. Yeah, not just the sense that lost to even that's a big death. It's a 3d4 40 seconds left 04:38:29.480 --> 04:38:31.480 This is winnable for kineshrae 04:38:31.760 --> 04:38:36.800 There is a lot pressure up above that for the attacks at your business should be able to find a good time in here and disrupt 30 seconds 04:38:38.880 --> 04:38:43.600 To see if he catches this at the right time doorway is being held and they've just lost our Kali 04:38:43.600 --> 04:38:48.420 Flash is it effective at D it is lands on to a clear helps him clear out storage 04:38:48.940 --> 04:38:53.220 15 seconds. Hey get a still up. He's been a little bit more quiet and he's on this top floor 04:38:53.220 --> 04:38:55.900 What's a try and find the kid? He's got all of this information 04:38:55.980 --> 04:39:01.540 But the most important one is found and secured it is just down there you get up 04:39:01.540 --> 04:39:08.320 But he's on the solace the best operator in this position to deny the plant and he should be able to from above 04:39:08.320 --> 04:39:10.480 Hey, you get a clutch as the kina trope 04:39:13.600 --> 04:39:18.080 Wow, he has played that absolutely perfectly. 04:39:19.440 --> 04:39:23.040 C.A.G. electing to alleviate the pressure up above. 04:39:23.520 --> 04:39:26.040 And that meant that the Souls was unchecked. 04:39:26.040 --> 04:39:29.480 So I can't help but shake the feeling if they had their time again. 04:39:29.760 --> 04:39:31.040 Chibusi would have stayed above. 04:39:31.040 --> 04:39:35.080 He was in a position even if just to disrupt, but instead he tries to pivot down green 04:39:35.080 --> 04:39:37.160 and maybe aid on a clearance on the side. 04:39:37.560 --> 04:39:41.160 I'm guessing is the theory that I have a bit more body on the objective. 04:39:41.160 --> 04:39:45.680 But if they knew that Soles was in play, I can assume that they did. 04:39:45.680 --> 04:39:48.200 You have to, if you've got man advantage, stick someone above there. 04:39:48.200 --> 04:39:52.080 You don't necessarily have to find a kill, but you have to do just enough to prevent the plant and all. 04:39:53.000 --> 04:40:01.240 And so a gate, of course, under the microscope in that moment, had to be composed and did exactly that right here. 04:40:01.240 --> 04:40:06.000 So 3 vs 2, 20 seconds, and she was to just be right down towards green stairs. 04:40:06.000 --> 04:40:11.280 Maybe more conscious of the horizontal flank, I don't know, the exact theory behind that. 04:40:11.280 --> 04:40:14.400 Again, if you know the soul is up, the soul is going to be above, so... 04:40:15.840 --> 04:40:21.120 I think that was a combination of one, a bit of an oversight from CAG, but then, of course, really good conversion from... 04:40:21.600 --> 04:40:26.080 ...Aya Gator, who, again, if Gator went to lose this game, he's... 04:40:26.800 --> 04:40:30.240 I don't think he's the one to blame, he's had a very, very good time inside of the server. 04:40:30.720 --> 04:40:32.000 Well, if you want to add in... 04:40:32.000 --> 04:40:36.260 reasonings as to how he's been allowed in that position I have to maybe ask the 04:40:36.260 --> 04:40:39.080 question if they actually straight up just didn't know he's up there simply 04:40:39.080 --> 04:40:43.880 basing the fact a getter actually was very quiet in that round and didn't 04:40:43.880 --> 04:40:48.720 really show anything until the last second so there is a part of me that 04:40:48.720 --> 04:40:52.760 maybe thinks he's just lost track and lost side of him towards the end and 04:40:52.760 --> 04:40:56.240 then when you add in the time factor they lost DD man who is usually their 04:40:56.240 --> 04:41:00.360 planter I think that there's a lot of things happening even if it's a lot of 04:41:00.360 --> 04:41:04.680 little things, you can lose sight of something and maybe just lost sight of the solar saygator 04:41:04.680 --> 04:41:08.440 up on the top floor and what he can do to deny late into the round. 04:41:08.440 --> 04:41:14.600 Clearly, I mean, if they knew he was there, surely there's no warden which should be so 04:41:14.600 --> 04:41:16.320 he goes back down green stairs. 04:41:16.320 --> 04:41:24.800 So I'm going to go with the assumption that they didn't actually know he was there. 04:41:24.800 --> 04:41:27.480 Whether they should know or shouldn't, all of the shoulds are different. 04:41:27.480 --> 04:41:30.200 Who cares about shoulds and woods and whatnot? 04:41:30.200 --> 04:41:36.860 just dealing with the reality in that round. To one lead for KineTrip. As we head back to 04:41:36.860 --> 04:41:58.340 the top floor, Master and R6. Yeah, return to the top floor. More gypsy always getting 04:41:58.340 --> 04:42:06.320 got and elsewhere our colleague does so oh it's gonna kill yeah for someone not 04:42:06.320 --> 04:42:12.220 a gator for kina trope in the series uncharted territory for kina trope but 04:42:12.220 --> 04:42:17.620 honestly one of the best ways possible showing that load a little bit and again 04:42:17.620 --> 04:42:25.220 it's the sense of the board so they lose that key piece of execute you till minute 04:42:25.220 --> 04:42:27.620 30 dd strikes elsewhere 04:42:33.620 --> 04:42:39.660 Yeah, just need to see Sharip and that it's in probably wake up a little bit and get more involved on there 04:42:40.420 --> 04:42:45.220 Chibis is doing his best. Didy man's doing his best. Our colleague's being active and Sharip goes down again 04:42:45.220 --> 04:42:47.260 It's been a it's been a rough series for Sharip 04:42:47.700 --> 04:42:50.300 Didy meant to cover does get the trade onto a gator 04:42:50.300 --> 04:42:53.820 Leason in the 3v3 heading into the last minute of this fourth round and 04:42:53.820 --> 04:42:59.740 And for a top floor site, I mean this is this is actually not too bad for C AG 04:43:03.020 --> 04:43:08.900 No, it's definitely doable they've lost the vert element though with the day most and so it's a lot of horizontal now 04:43:09.660 --> 04:43:13.220 In you tool would be pretty critical on the clear of the words display 04:43:13.900 --> 04:43:15.900 Hi, I'm king 04:43:15.940 --> 04:43:17.940 push for the rush 04:43:17.940 --> 04:43:23.940 I don't know about that one and we went bailiff trying to maybe catch off Akayu through the gaspade. 04:43:23.940 --> 04:43:27.940 Let's go out now on a 1v2 to try and solidify this top floor. 04:43:27.940 --> 04:43:30.940 As Anatoly will get the point down over towards R6, Tupac will cover up. 04:43:30.940 --> 04:43:34.940 Kawhi just tried to pre-fire check a couple of these corners. 04:43:34.940 --> 04:43:38.940 He's obviously not quite sure where these two are located to the left of you. 04:43:38.940 --> 04:43:43.940 They're in R6 and he gets chunked down massively on his move over towards display. 04:43:43.940 --> 04:43:45.940 He wants to come around the other side. Anatoly's watching. 04:43:45.940 --> 04:43:50.940 We had a teammate to watch the back anyway, so he could just turn around and watch both sides. 04:43:50.940 --> 04:43:56.940 Two to two, two attacking rounds for CAG. One of them on the top floor of Master R6. 04:43:56.940 --> 04:44:03.940 Four rounds through. The scoreline might be equal, but can't help but feel like CAG with that round win. 04:44:03.940 --> 04:44:05.940 Now slightly in the better position. 04:44:05.940 --> 04:44:11.940 Yeah, definitely with not only reaching the two round benchmark, but factoring in top floor as well. 04:44:11.940 --> 04:44:20.460 a big win for CED. DD doing a good job in that round to find that trade of world of 04:44:20.460 --> 04:44:24.980 this lobby, but this was sort of the key moment in the round. I didn't dislike that from DD, 04:44:24.980 --> 04:44:28.580 the rush forward, they had their third bodies in that position in response to the utility 04:44:28.580 --> 04:44:32.100 that they outlined and so it wasn't a case of he just ran in solo, the rest of the team 04:44:32.100 --> 04:44:36.060 was able to then cover the line and find the trade on that space. So there's actually 04:44:36.060 --> 04:44:42.140 are pretty well formulated there by CAG, they've been out the round and they now find themselves 04:44:42.140 --> 04:44:48.380 in a pretty decent position here. It's entering a bit of an interesting phase here of Lair. 04:44:49.020 --> 04:44:52.620 Kinetrope will be no doubt disappointed but they can correct course here with a win down below. 04:44:54.220 --> 04:44:57.980 Yeah it's one of those positions now where if Kinetrope can just win the next two rounds we 04:44:57.980 --> 04:45:02.860 probably walk away and go into the second half. All things pretty much as expected 04:45:02.860 --> 04:45:06.460 But it means that the CAG, the pressure's off a little bit. 04:45:06.460 --> 04:45:09.020 Yeah, you've got two rounds now to go for a free hit. 04:45:09.020 --> 04:45:13.260 See if you can extend your margin and take as many rounds as possible going into your 04:45:13.260 --> 04:45:21.540 defense in the second half and set yourselves up for what could be a grand final position. 04:45:21.540 --> 04:45:27.020 And Anitzen was a big factor at the close of that round as well. 04:45:27.020 --> 04:45:32.740 Getting a couple of crucial kills. 04:45:32.740 --> 04:45:36.020 enough in terms of that open and kill discussion there are three of the four 04:45:36.020 --> 04:45:42.860 rounds have not been converted clearly not that the B and all when it comes to 04:45:42.860 --> 04:45:49.300 let it almost catches the timing on a gator it's it hasn't really been his day 04:45:49.300 --> 04:45:52.940 not that he did anything wrong there in fact you get a lot right it just doesn't 04:45:52.940 --> 04:45:55.980 get a reward for it when it's not your day sometimes you can do a lot right and 04:45:55.980 --> 04:46:00.940 not get rewarded and sometimes you can do a lot right and you still end up 04:46:00.940 --> 04:46:07.060 dying you just you get flanked or the timings or whatever it may be and that 04:46:07.060 --> 04:46:11.740 might just be the data shrieks having but he can turn it around 04:46:13.060 --> 04:46:18.020 all gay wait on let's tell you what I was getting caught he was very hungry for 04:46:18.020 --> 04:46:22.860 that drink I'm gonna cut cloning a pinch because he has lost that opportunity 04:46:22.860 --> 04:46:30.900 now to escape cleanly that's just calms that's just teamwork that's 04:46:30.900 --> 04:46:36.020 about understanding how you can swing that bridge safely. And that's twice now that CAG 04:46:36.020 --> 04:46:40.340 around that Skybridge area have been able to win those sort of battles and get that pinch from 04:46:40.340 --> 04:46:44.740 both sides, catching someone from KineTrip by themselves deeply by through the bridge and 04:46:44.740 --> 04:46:51.460 I'm able to kind of get back to safety. So that's happened twice now. So player advantage for CAG 04:46:51.460 --> 04:46:56.900 on this basement site, you still got quite a bit of a run game employee here for KineTrip as well. 04:46:56.900 --> 04:47:00.180 And it works out for a you gay that's what's medical shunts down shippetsu 04:47:00.580 --> 04:47:06.260 And the clown though goes down to the bailiff as an it's in has just suddenly woken up started one three. He's got four kills straight 04:47:07.380 --> 04:47:10.700 And we'll call to an it's in a shriek stand up and one of them has 04:47:11.580 --> 04:47:15.020 Yeah, it's an I think maybe just a little uncomfortable with the double shield band 04:47:15.020 --> 04:47:17.900 But he's been able to find a little bit of form towards the tail end now of this 04:47:18.740 --> 04:47:21.220 attacking half advantage cag and 04:47:21.220 --> 04:47:26.540 And this round if they're able to double down on the primary and secondary sites here, 04:47:26.540 --> 04:47:31.820 Kinitro finds this one's in such an awkward position. This is a really big moment for CAG as they drop. 04:47:31.820 --> 04:47:35.440 And they go over the drop, they go straight towards the site, and it's Aniston finds yet another kill. 04:47:35.440 --> 04:47:37.960 This one onto AE Gator, who's been the most lively for Kinitro. 04:47:37.960 --> 04:47:43.160 He's got four who's on for the Yaze, he just has to find a Kairi, who's over towards Reception on the first floor. 04:47:43.160 --> 04:47:49.380 And now that they've located him, Aniston's probably going to get on the sprint and go and try and find him to get this A-Secured. 04:47:49.380 --> 04:47:54.220 They'd be more worried about securing the roundwind though as they get the plant successfully down through DD man 04:47:55.220 --> 04:47:57.400 And it's in now on the first floor is hunting 04:48:00.180 --> 04:48:05.540 He's just patiently lurking waiting for a car you to rotate down the hatch. It's coming. This is the ace. Oh 04:48:06.900 --> 04:48:11.140 I mean, honestly from a car you that's uh a decent job to just 04:48:12.380 --> 04:48:14.420 Almost tired of the barbed wire and the razor bloom 04:48:14.420 --> 04:48:21.500 And and honestly it takes attitude could have stayed there and tried to go for the ace 04:48:21.500 --> 04:48:25.500 But he makes the team play just fall back now. It's you know, no time left now 04:48:25.500 --> 04:48:30.040 Can he get the ace okay? He probably doesn't want to drop gets the kill into DD man 04:48:32.920 --> 04:48:38.440 Yeah, I mean I like that from attitude he doesn't really care about the ace he's had plenty of those in his career 04:48:39.440 --> 04:48:42.480 I'm guessing in long career. I'm sure he has 04:48:44.420 --> 04:48:51.020 Yeah, good from CIG. The last two rounds could end up being pretty definitive in the context 04:48:51.020 --> 04:48:57.060 of this series to win our top and below. I think it's taken the sting out of this defensive 04:48:57.060 --> 04:49:02.980 half for KineTrope, securing at least an equal footing, heading into the second half for CIG 04:49:02.980 --> 04:49:07.500 in a very strong series winning position. KineTrope, well, like, doubled down. 04:49:07.500 --> 04:49:11.380 Yeah, and instead of retempting a buff, it's one choice. 04:49:11.380 --> 04:49:24.620 So if CAG get three attacking rounds, they'll get another opportunity to try and get a fourth 04:49:24.620 --> 04:49:27.140 and they're very good on the defensive layer. 04:49:27.140 --> 04:49:33.260 They've set this up a bracket funnel up now to go their way, it's all about just how they 04:49:33.260 --> 04:49:34.260 close it out. 04:49:34.260 --> 04:49:41.580 You've said it before, you know, Aya Gator or Boston probably has been the case. 04:49:41.580 --> 04:49:42.580 He hasn't clapped. 04:49:42.580 --> 04:49:46.940 In the last three rounds, he hasn't found an opening kill and in the last three rounds 04:49:46.940 --> 04:49:49.060 it's been two to one in favour of CAG. 04:49:49.060 --> 04:49:54.200 I think this will be a case of Aya Gator will just set his vaulting canisters and desperately 04:49:54.200 --> 04:49:58.260 search for the first pick of the round to give his team the best chance to win. 04:49:58.260 --> 04:49:59.260 It's actually the Okaeyu. 04:49:59.260 --> 04:50:01.620 And it's on to Sharif. 04:50:01.620 --> 04:50:03.620 This man can not catch a break! 04:50:06.620 --> 04:50:07.620 No. 04:50:07.620 --> 04:50:09.620 I'm pretty rough. 04:50:15.620 --> 04:50:17.620 What? That's rough. What? 04:50:17.620 --> 04:50:19.620 Hang on. What? 04:50:22.620 --> 04:50:24.620 That was... 04:50:25.620 --> 04:50:29.620 Did it catch the gas pipe? Is that what... 04:50:31.620 --> 04:50:33.620 I'm not but I'm aware of... 04:50:36.620 --> 04:50:38.620 Either way, it's a... 04:50:38.620 --> 04:50:41.620 It's all the way to equalize the man count! 04:50:42.620 --> 04:50:45.620 GVC's just sending it through here over to security. 04:50:45.620 --> 04:50:47.620 Yeah, that's what I'm gonna get her out of. 04:50:47.620 --> 04:50:49.620 So that's the, uh... 04:50:49.620 --> 04:50:50.620 Out of the room dealt with. 04:50:50.620 --> 04:50:51.620 In fact, that's both parts. 04:50:51.620 --> 04:50:52.620 The Claire falls as well. 04:50:52.620 --> 04:50:55.620 A Kai, Aya Gator, 2v4. 04:50:55.620 --> 04:51:04.040 Yeah, well, I was completely wrong about a gator maybe trying to just go for broken finding an early pick is down 04:51:04.820 --> 04:51:10.300 Midway through this final round of the half and needs to bring get at least the next two kills takes a little breather 04:51:11.380 --> 04:51:13.380 Adjusts the hair as he locks in 04:51:16.340 --> 04:51:20.380 Incredibly CG though because they were getting challenged to start here on land and 04:51:21.100 --> 04:51:25.520 Bank itself what was the challenge to I mean Kea trip have been very competitive 04:51:25.620 --> 04:51:29.620 But C.A.G. has just always had that one little step forward, that one little answer. 04:51:32.460 --> 04:51:34.140 Replace from Akayu. 04:51:36.020 --> 04:51:38.580 As any guy that sees himself come back down the basement. 04:51:40.060 --> 04:51:42.860 As much as you want to find the positive as a kind of trap, you do have to ask the question, 04:51:42.860 --> 04:51:44.860 why you've gone back to labs again? 04:51:47.940 --> 04:51:51.180 It could be a costly decision for the minute to go in the round. 04:51:52.180 --> 04:51:53.860 So much agility for C.A.G. 04:51:53.860 --> 04:51:57.100 There's so many entry points that they now need to be aware of. 04:52:00.940 --> 04:52:02.940 Well, this one's done, you'd think. 04:52:04.440 --> 04:52:10.240 Just swings into the double stack there of CAG, leaving Agator in the 1v4 with a death mark, 04:52:10.240 --> 04:52:17.100 floating around. It's a 4-2 half for CAG as they take an extensive lead, 04:52:17.100 --> 04:52:20.200 heading into defense there on their map pick. 04:52:20.200 --> 04:52:23.700 They're three rounds away from booking their place in the grand final. 04:54:23.860 --> 04:54:36.500 Well, the man on our screen really showed up towards the back end of that first half 04:54:36.500 --> 04:54:41.040 as Anerton got going, so did C.A.G. and from there, four to half, three rounds straight 04:54:41.040 --> 04:54:46.380 leads them to the defense on Lair and only needing now three more rounds to book their 04:54:46.380 --> 04:54:51.500 place to the Grand Final, shaping up easily as the favorites to head to the major from 04:54:51.500 --> 04:54:55.980 the APAC North region, it can all change, though, even from here. 04:54:55.980 --> 04:55:00.300 Genotrope have been competitive. And the one thing that's not lost on the guys is when 04:55:00.300 --> 04:55:06.060 we were sitting at the half from bank at 5-1, thinking maybe that one was going to be over. 04:55:06.060 --> 04:55:10.260 And then Genotrope put four rounds on the board. Who's to say what will happen here 04:55:10.260 --> 04:55:16.860 in the second half? We kind of have to keep our eyes peeled for things because CIG, they 04:55:16.860 --> 04:55:25.340 do like to keep their fans guessing. Yeah, that can certainly be the case. And I think 04:55:25.340 --> 04:55:34.540 we got a glimpse of that over back on Bank. I still have faith like CIG can consolidate 04:55:34.540 --> 04:55:39.220 this position. We play package of about six and sure, it's just not being his day. I don't 04:55:39.220 --> 04:55:44.780 know how much of that is in his fault. Just maybe a string of bad luck. That's how for 04:55:44.780 --> 04:55:49.140 that point I would say that you are very competent in dealing with the dual roam and then able 04:55:49.140 --> 04:55:55.180 to collapse onto the objective pretty confidently. 04:55:55.180 --> 04:56:00.260 So into round seven it's Monty, Ying, Mira and Smoke, unavailable top floor site of 04:56:00.260 --> 04:56:01.260 choice. 04:56:01.260 --> 04:56:08.700 And so with the smoke off the board we'll see CIG get a little more creative, they'll 04:56:08.700 --> 04:56:13.980 persist with the Tachanka, they'll then look to play Azami on site to hold on to control 04:56:13.980 --> 04:56:19.140 as much as possible and it's going to be an emphasis on those nitro cells as well from 04:56:19.140 --> 04:56:21.180 CAG landing as a form of plant to know. 04:56:21.180 --> 04:56:26.340 There's a 1 and 3 staffer and it says well he's egg nothing, he's egg zip, he's just 04:56:26.340 --> 04:56:32.660 really locked in towards the back end of the half. 04:56:32.660 --> 04:56:36.580 No bigger round than of course the 4k and the 5th round got plant down the round before 04:56:36.580 --> 04:56:41.660 that so really after the first 3 rounds he just locked in and put together a really good 04:56:41.660 --> 04:56:44.860 display in the final three rounds of the half and and no surprise. 04:56:44.860 --> 04:56:46.960 Finally enough, C.H.G. one or three of those rounds. 04:56:47.820 --> 04:56:51.260 He is always a big barometer for the team. 04:56:51.260 --> 04:56:53.560 Vanityen's playing well, usually C.H.G. too. 04:56:55.300 --> 04:56:57.900 What's really helped them though in this series as well as D.D.'s 04:56:58.000 --> 04:56:59.060 been really, really good. 04:56:59.060 --> 04:57:01.340 Chippers who's continued, he's top form this stage. 04:57:01.940 --> 04:57:06.900 So even if it's been one to forget, I think for Sharip's standards, 04:57:06.900 --> 04:57:08.700 he's still 10-13 across the series. 04:57:08.700 --> 04:57:11.560 It's still an awful game, but it's 2-5 in the end. 04:57:11.660 --> 04:57:17.620 44% cost, yeah. To his standards he's definitely a little bit below, but the 04:57:17.620 --> 04:57:22.140 power of CAG is they've just got so many weapons. 04:57:22.140 --> 04:57:28.460 An A-Gate is gonna be entrusted on the Deimos to provide early opportunity for 04:57:28.460 --> 04:57:35.060 Keen and Trope. He'll be on that first floor. I'm contested as well. 04:57:41.660 --> 04:57:51.900 So I'm going to close on the midpoint then all this round and Kino trait just putting 04:57:51.900 --> 04:57:53.820 in the final pieces of groundwork. 04:57:53.820 --> 04:57:59.580 Amitun looking to be pretty aggressive here on the band at this turn in denying the pressure 04:57:59.580 --> 04:58:00.580 to site. 04:58:00.580 --> 04:58:04.140 Sharip with big responsibility, Mez. 04:58:04.140 --> 04:58:08.060 He'll be looking to change his fortune for this map. 04:58:08.060 --> 04:58:12.540 Xanaten retreats from his position and Sharip as well will also fall back. 04:58:12.540 --> 04:58:18.460 So CIG not afraid to forfeit some of this control of Kinetrape Force to work for it. 04:58:18.460 --> 04:58:23.500 And as a clear, the die elsewhere, CIG advantage. 04:58:23.500 --> 04:58:29.820 So Akai you go searching at the doorway towards Mez to just see if you can cut off an angle. 04:58:29.820 --> 04:58:32.380 They still have an opened up mask, that's the concern for me. 04:58:32.380 --> 04:58:37.020 If you're not going to have mask opened up, your ability to kind of get in through this 04:58:37.020 --> 04:58:43.660 is always so difficult. Now, Akali has been pushed out from behind that key barrier. Okay, 04:58:43.660 --> 04:58:47.740 let's see if Akali with the flame bolt from the capitol and he has been taken low. But 04:58:47.740 --> 04:58:51.740 that's it. They haven't really been able to do much else with it. And the air gator then falls 04:58:51.740 --> 04:58:57.260 to Sharif. Akali does slip in and then immediately gets shot. And again, it's like walking into 04:58:57.260 --> 04:59:03.180 the Hornets nest. So difficult if you don't open up mask. Let's get a rubber trade with the super 04:59:03.180 --> 04:59:07.180 shorty. It's not going to 04:59:07.180 --> 04:59:09.180 work out a CAG. Make it four 04:59:09.180 --> 04:59:11.180 rounds straight. Perfect way to 04:59:11.180 --> 04:59:13.180 kickstart the second half as 04:59:13.180 --> 04:59:15.180 they go. Five two up two more 04:59:15.180 --> 04:59:17.180 rounds required to book their 04:59:17.180 --> 04:59:21.180 place in the grand final. Yeah, 04:59:21.180 --> 04:59:23.180 very, very solid effort there in 04:59:23.180 --> 04:59:26.180 that round. Kind of try failing 04:59:26.180 --> 04:59:28.180 to flush out that site 04:59:28.180 --> 04:59:30.180 efficiently. Hard bridge 04:59:30.180 --> 04:59:37.060 effect towards the tail end of that round and see a G aren't going to screw that up so I could 04:59:37.060 --> 04:59:44.100 start for them they tick off the top floor and the beauty of their position after the first half is 04:59:46.660 --> 04:59:53.380 they can tick off baseman again expected to then they're only on series point and they have 04:59:53.380 --> 04:59:58.740 that that bubbles to then play around so if it's gonna choke it's a tricky position we'll see if 04:59:58.740 --> 05:00:05.460 if they can continue to fight here into the eighth round on the B contending with the Skopos 05:00:05.460 --> 05:00:11.940 in this particular occasion. And so Sharip has been given the license to roam around 05:00:11.940 --> 05:00:18.060 a little bit now, able to flip his fortune with some picks in the last round. I'll be 05:00:18.060 --> 05:00:24.620 intrigued to see actually how much, how eager he is to stay off site, or if it's going to 05:00:24.620 --> 05:00:26.620 K is appealing back pretty quickly. 05:00:32.300 --> 05:00:38.460 Yeah, and just happy really for Sharip to finally have a round where it all just kind of came together for him 05:00:38.460 --> 05:00:42.980 That's the kind of player he is you can get those multi-kill rounds. You can go pop off get three four K's 05:00:43.700 --> 05:00:47.500 It's a 3k in that previous round and suddenly the map of it doesn't look so bad 05:00:47.500 --> 05:00:49.500 You go from one five four five just like that 05:00:54.620 --> 05:01:00.960 And KineTrip must now be thinking though they've got a lot of work to be done if they're going to get back into this series 05:01:02.780 --> 05:01:08.080 They were in a very similar position back on Bank it was a 5-1 deficit. This is 5-2 05:01:08.540 --> 05:01:11.340 They got it back to 5-5 just couldn't hold on and 05:01:12.620 --> 05:01:20.740 Actually CAG got the map done. This is going to be a difficult and more difficult task considering they're attacking into layer against CAG 05:01:20.740 --> 05:01:29.100 And again it in towards Lockers nice good position early on here for baseman by himself 05:01:29.100 --> 05:01:33.300 and kind of just over towards Stark they're gonna go rather direct they catch up Kali on the drop 05:01:33.300 --> 05:01:39.740 and Kinnitrope will they all funnel in behind these players and just go direct towards Scythe 05:01:39.740 --> 05:01:52.220 30 and it's equalized with Kawhi falling. There you go, that has been so patient. It's 05:01:52.220 --> 05:01:58.060 a half swing from Anderson and punished accordingly. Good advantage. Now for KineTrope plant going 05:01:58.060 --> 05:02:01.260 down DD manifold. And there should be Kierter Troops. 05:02:06.100 --> 05:02:09.820 And to be three post plant should be Kierter Troops 100% 05:02:11.500 --> 05:02:16.600 should be suit. And the rest of the barb just susceptible to 05:02:16.600 --> 05:02:19.820 that slipping. They found the gap courtesy of a Gator and the 05:02:19.820 --> 05:02:21.880 solid snake really showing off the power of the radar and 05:02:21.880 --> 05:02:26.820 should read big kill on to a clip. Was it sure it time if you 05:02:26.820 --> 05:02:30.900 We can win this next battle and it might be more of a chance, but it's Ayaketa that closes it out. 05:02:30.900 --> 05:02:34.660 10 seconds quickly for Chippetsu to either go for the kit. 05:02:34.660 --> 05:02:38.340 He actually doesn't even have the time to really get there and get on it. 05:02:38.340 --> 05:02:40.820 Ayaketa already just says, yeah, GG. 05:02:40.820 --> 05:02:45.500 He'll swing, there's no time, and Kiritro. 05:02:45.500 --> 05:02:49.220 We'll take this basement site, four in the round for Chippetsu, but it won't matter. 05:02:49.220 --> 05:02:50.860 It's the round win that goes the way of Kiritro. 05:02:50.860 --> 05:02:56.140 They make it five-three, and they stop the CAG streak at four rounds straight. 05:02:56.820 --> 05:03:03.820 as they did have a 2-1 lead. They've now finally gotten their third round. 05:03:03.820 --> 05:03:08.820 But I think a lot of that round actually is still off of Aya Gator. He doesn't get the open kill. 05:03:08.820 --> 05:03:14.820 That's Akayu, but the solid state, being able to slip in towards site, get deep position towards lockers, 05:03:14.820 --> 05:03:21.820 have a good cut off of this hallway position, and facilitate the ability for the rest of the team to follow in, 05:03:21.820 --> 05:03:27.180 follow in, get plant down and not even have to worry about that first four as a big reason 05:03:27.180 --> 05:03:30.220 why Kinetrape win the round. 05:03:30.220 --> 05:03:35.780 Well they stay like for a little while longer, sure you could provide an opportunity to close 05:03:35.780 --> 05:03:41.420 that gap even further over to dorms for the ninth round. 05:03:41.420 --> 05:03:43.980 Again they're doing a good job in leveraging AyoGator. 05:03:43.980 --> 05:03:50.100 I think Solid Snake is an operator that's particularly favours his play style and being 05:03:50.100 --> 05:03:55.620 able to lurk into positions, be patient, and it's obviously difficult to ascertain how 05:03:55.620 --> 05:03:58.980 much of the information he's gathering. Is that just for his sole purpose? Is that being 05:03:58.980 --> 05:04:05.780 related to the rest of the team? It's probably an element of both. 05:04:05.780 --> 05:04:12.100 And so as expected on this side, there's an emphasis on the top floor from defense with 05:04:12.100 --> 05:04:16.740 Fert. Going to try to elect him not to go the sense route though. Their lineup is probably 05:04:16.740 --> 05:04:20.820 actually without the capitao, without the sense, etc, suggesting it's going to be a proper 05:04:20.820 --> 05:04:24.460 flash out of above. 05:04:24.460 --> 05:04:36.220 It just keeps this alive, doesn't it? 05:04:36.220 --> 05:04:41.860 I mean, two rounds is in touching different and touching distance for Kynetro. 05:04:41.860 --> 05:04:45.640 reliance on a gator to continue to perform to the level that he has been 05:04:45.640 --> 05:04:50.540 sure but it seems like he's up for the task 05:04:52.180 --> 05:04:56.380 good news for cg those shrieks come to the party and and it's in continuous 05:04:56.380 --> 05:05:00.720 his strong form of course wasn't much he could do against a gator he was pre- 05:05:00.720 --> 05:05:05.860 lined up for about 40 seconds and didn't know it all clear on the radar as a 05:05:05.860 --> 05:05:10.860 a gate successfully through basement can now make his way up yellow. 05:05:20.860 --> 05:05:25.860 The Aminifoy has gotten pretty good ground here with low risk and investment, 05:05:25.860 --> 05:05:29.860 but now comes the hard part of especially with that his army in play, 05:05:29.860 --> 05:05:32.860 there's going to be a lot of utility clearance required, 05:05:32.860 --> 05:05:36.660 And there's a lack of heartbreak shot off to here as well. 05:05:36.660 --> 05:05:44.160 That being said, some of the pills being forced as DD will fall back down to the side, Chibisi. 05:05:44.160 --> 05:05:52.160 Ah, Kully, Anerton, well they were a second fall, but they too have also at least teased the retreat initially. 05:05:52.160 --> 05:05:55.160 Chibisi is in a position to play for life though, it would appear. 05:05:55.160 --> 05:06:01.400 Now, Koli's in quite a high-risk position as well, despite that, Shibusy lands the shot 05:06:01.400 --> 05:06:07.260 up to 13, drops down for a second, and CAG have been able to pass big time in this round. 05:06:07.260 --> 05:06:09.060 It's flawless for CAG. 05:06:09.060 --> 05:06:12.140 Wow, that was quick. 05:06:12.140 --> 05:06:17.380 And that whole time, I'm sitting and I'm actually watching Aya Gator because he was playing 05:06:17.380 --> 05:06:24.500 Snake's first floor security and using that radar constantly to try and get information 05:06:24.500 --> 05:06:32.780 to aid his team. But he wasn't able to really get involved. He wasn't going for a push 05:06:32.780 --> 05:06:37.260 to those inside Bunk's briefing and trying to take the fight with them while that second 05:06:37.260 --> 05:06:42.060 floor push was happening. So he never really got a chance to be involved. And while what 05:06:42.060 --> 05:06:48.300 he was necessarily doing wasn't bad, is he the kind of player that you want sitting back 05:06:48.300 --> 05:06:52.460 doing nothing while all of this is going on? I'd rather see how you get it be on the front 05:06:52.460 --> 05:06:57.820 line if that's how you're going to play it rather than being the one only providing information he's 05:06:57.820 --> 05:07:02.300 been your best gunner he's gotten all your opening kills he's the reason why you're winning rounds 05:07:02.300 --> 05:07:05.580 and if he's sitting there playing that role feeding information and you can't play off of that 05:07:06.540 --> 05:07:10.700 well yeah there's a reason why at six three and three match points and series points for cag 05:07:10.700 --> 05:07:14.780 but they played that really well i mean jib is so back himself in played for life got a sick head 05:07:14.780 --> 05:07:20.860 shot dropped down and they just had kina trope read like a book that whole round flawless from cag 05:07:22.460 --> 05:07:27.160 It's their second of the series. Kinetra got one back on bank as well 05:07:29.860 --> 05:07:32.740 As Chibisuga's 14 and 4 05:07:33.660 --> 05:07:36.740 2113 across the two maps 3-0 on the entry 05:07:36.980 --> 05:07:44.580 He's statistically been the highest-rated player in the server and he's been the highest-rated player for the stage guys averaging a 136 EPS 05:07:52.460 --> 05:08:05.260 Well, can CAG now put the cherry on top? 05:08:05.260 --> 05:08:11.260 It should be pretty straightforward from here, but time will tell. 05:08:11.260 --> 05:08:18.460 CAG of course have a pretty notable reputation of sometimes prolonging the closure of games. 05:08:18.460 --> 05:08:23.700 But I feel like maybe we're seeing the other side of that, at least the recent form was 05:08:23.700 --> 05:08:27.940 anything to go by where they're doing a much better job of closing out strong, advantageous 05:08:27.940 --> 05:08:28.940 positions. 05:08:28.940 --> 05:08:32.940 And we'll see if this one is to be an exception or not. 05:08:32.940 --> 05:08:38.180 About 40 seconds into this round and we have a lurk employed from Sheree Pulse where the 05:08:38.180 --> 05:08:41.660 rest of the team focusing their efforts to sack into the floor and as for the attack 05:08:41.660 --> 05:08:49.540 of kinetropids. Purely on the exterior at the moment, gaining info on drones. Deimos 05:08:49.540 --> 05:08:55.940 and the solid state combination for the best round will hopefully offer them a lot of information. 05:08:55.940 --> 05:09:01.780 IQ for the side of electronics as well. And now I'm able to chip away at a little bit 05:09:01.780 --> 05:09:10.780 of ground. That flank though could be dangerous if Sherry pits the right timing here. Kowak 05:09:10.780 --> 05:09:12.780 who would find himself in a world of hurt 05:09:14.620 --> 05:09:17.120 One for one at the very least keeps things equal 05:09:17.900 --> 05:09:21.700 But that's what you wanted to get a truck. You want to get a getting involved nice and early 05:09:23.140 --> 05:09:29.020 One the majority of the rounds when he's got in the opening picks and look the best as well 05:09:31.420 --> 05:09:33.180 Listen to crimp 05:09:33.180 --> 05:09:37.700 Versus the is army. I'd probably rather have the is army to be honest, but it's a bit 05:09:38.460 --> 05:09:40.460 however, you feel like 05:09:40.780 --> 05:09:50.860 The Grim can be decent of course heading into Master and R6 to get some information, clear 05:09:50.860 --> 05:09:55.740 out certain positions, but the Islamic just as strong with the keeper barriers. 05:09:55.740 --> 05:10:04.260 55 seconds remaining, declare the patience and it does pay off, catches Sarip down below. 05:10:04.260 --> 05:10:09.420 It gives Kienetro the extra number, he does go on to that front line now. 05:10:09.420 --> 05:10:16.100 He goes for a flank here last second wants to reevaluate where he wants to enter get more information off the radar 05:10:19.540 --> 05:10:21.540 And wants to go through ops 05:10:23.980 --> 05:10:26.700 30 seconds, there's a lot of utility for Kino track 05:10:26.700 --> 05:10:32.420 They just need to make sure they deploy it correctly here. I get it could hit the backstab and they should be in a good spot 05:10:32.420 --> 05:10:38.920 They are leaving themselves low on time though. 05:10:38.920 --> 05:10:41.600 Akai is going to have to get this planned down uncontested. 05:10:41.600 --> 05:10:44.660 There's a clan lost to his battle against Shipputsu. 05:10:44.660 --> 05:10:45.660 Ayagata. 05:10:45.660 --> 05:10:50.440 Nitrosol from DD Man shuts him down and that will be the end of the map and therefore the 05:10:50.440 --> 05:10:58.280 series as CAG will book their place in the 8 pack North kickoff grand final. 05:10:58.280 --> 05:11:06.040 drops Keenotrope to the lower bracket. They will get reprieved. They will get a second 05:11:06.040 --> 05:11:11.200 chance. But who knows if it will be against CAG in the grand final. They've still got 05:11:11.200 --> 05:11:16.200 to get through either scars or D plus, which will be up next. But for CAG, one more best 05:11:16.200 --> 05:11:21.760 of three away from the major. Yeah, well, CAG putting in another really 05:11:21.760 --> 05:11:27.800 strong result. Truly didn't expect to two zero in this series. I think we saw a good 05:11:27.800 --> 05:11:31.960 amount of fight from Kintro, but CG overall a little more well rounded in this team obviously 05:11:31.960 --> 05:11:36.680 with a world of experience behind them at this point. They got pushed, they got tested on a 05:11:36.680 --> 05:11:42.040 couple of occasions whether it be back on map 1 or here on lair, but ultimately I think they just 05:11:42.040 --> 05:11:47.320 had a little more depth and their strategy here on lair seems to be very difficult to take down 05:11:47.880 --> 05:11:52.920 despite whatever counter work Kintro may have done heading into it. So now it's on performance for 05:11:52.920 --> 05:11:58.200 them all round and it didn't come at the end. He had a bit of a rough start there on 05:11:58.200 --> 05:12:01.200 Blair. I think the double shield bounce only didn't help him in terms of feeling comfortable, 05:12:01.200 --> 05:12:06.240 but when he was able to get going, the rest of the team followed. In terms of, I guess, 05:12:06.240 --> 05:12:09.560 if there was another player to highlight as well, Didi, he had two massive flushes over 05:12:09.560 --> 05:12:12.600 the course of this series, which were actually pretty pivoted moments of both respective 05:12:12.600 --> 05:12:18.520 maps and overall did a really good job. I think CIGs are the vibes are strong and I 05:12:18.520 --> 05:12:21.640 I think, yeah, as a very small preview to the Grand Final, 05:12:21.640 --> 05:12:23.800 they're probably going in as the favorite, 05:12:23.800 --> 05:12:25.400 unless we see something super dramatic 05:12:25.400 --> 05:12:27.200 throughout this little bracket. 05:12:27.200 --> 05:12:30.360 We're gonna go and have a chat with Sparky from CIG, 05:12:30.360 --> 05:12:31.400 fresh off of that win. 05:12:31.400 --> 05:12:32.840 Sparky, congratulations, 05:12:32.840 --> 05:12:36.880 the spot in the Grand Final won away from the Major. 05:12:36.880 --> 05:12:39.400 We had a couple of interviews earlier today, 05:12:39.400 --> 05:12:42.040 one with PJH, one with Hell from Deep Plus, 05:12:42.040 --> 05:12:43.480 and they're talking about CIG's 05:12:43.480 --> 05:12:47.400 counter-stradding of Deep Plus in that series last week. 05:12:47.400 --> 05:12:53.000 Coming into today though, how much work was kind of put into Kino Trope and what they've been doing so far this stage a kickoff? 05:12:54.200 --> 05:12:55.480 Yeah, hi everyone. 05:12:56.480 --> 05:13:00.440 Yeah, so not as heavy as the D-plus game for sure. 05:13:02.200 --> 05:13:03.520 Not as heavy as the D-plus game. 05:13:03.960 --> 05:13:15.160 I think Kino Trope is a hell of a team in terms of their playstyle, which I think encompasses and sort of shows 05:13:15.160 --> 05:13:24.760 like what the APAC region is all about pretty much, especially in the last few years. 05:13:24.760 --> 05:13:31.080 So yeah, I mean, I don't have much to say about, they're just a weird team, like I'm 05:13:31.080 --> 05:13:38.600 going to be honest, they just do weird things, like for example, on Lair, we never played 05:13:38.600 --> 05:13:40.160 smoke, right? 05:13:40.160 --> 05:13:42.720 So it's not a counter ban, it's a comfort ban. 05:13:42.720 --> 05:13:44.720 Like, how to smoke a comfort band? 05:13:44.720 --> 05:13:47.720 Like, some things just don't make sense to me. 05:13:47.720 --> 05:13:51.720 I cannot comprehend what they're doing. 05:13:51.720 --> 05:13:54.720 But some of the things they do actually do make sense, 05:13:54.720 --> 05:13:57.720 because they're like, they're nonsense, 05:13:57.720 --> 05:13:59.720 but it's the nonsense that works. 05:13:59.720 --> 05:14:01.720 Like, that also the top teams do. 05:14:01.720 --> 05:14:03.720 Like, those kind of unpredictable things. 05:14:03.720 --> 05:14:05.720 But some things I'm just, I'm just, I don't know, 05:14:05.720 --> 05:14:08.720 I don't know what to say. 05:14:08.720 --> 05:14:10.720 On the topic of nonsense, actually, 05:14:10.720 --> 05:14:14.920 bank briefly because that was probably one of the most attack-asided banks I 05:14:14.920 --> 05:14:19.000 think I've ever seen in my life. What the hell was going on there for both teams? 05:14:19.000 --> 05:14:28.120 Yeah, bank has to go. Everyone's got to figure it out, especially in the last 05:14:28.120 --> 05:14:33.560 stage. It's just two attacker sides, it's too static, it's just figured out by the attack. 05:14:33.560 --> 05:14:38.160 It has to go. It was a classic, like last couple years it's classic, now it's become 05:14:38.160 --> 05:14:43.840 like too much of a classic, like it's too figured out. What was going on? I have no idea. We didn't 05:14:43.840 --> 05:14:49.680 adapt properly to what they were doing. We didn't really counter start that heavy this game and it 05:14:49.680 --> 05:14:54.240 was my fault because like they're a very heavy, they're a team you need to counter start like 05:14:54.240 --> 05:14:58.320 heavily but at the same time I was like this is a new team so I wasn't really sure what they were 05:14:58.320 --> 05:15:02.960 gonna do because like first game they played in the league, they played totally different from 05:15:02.960 --> 05:15:07.600 the second game and so I didn't really know what they were gonna bring up so I just sort of like 05:15:07.600 --> 05:15:13.600 Just sort of train more, stay flexible and gradually work out. 05:15:15.100 --> 05:15:17.600 Sparky, before we let you go, I just want to ask one last question. 05:15:17.600 --> 05:15:19.600 You guys are in the grand final now. 05:15:19.600 --> 05:15:22.600 Obviously, a week until that gets played. 05:15:22.600 --> 05:15:26.600 Just talk us through what's the next week going to be like for you and the team. 05:15:27.600 --> 05:15:30.600 Another day in the office. Another week in the office. 05:15:31.600 --> 05:15:33.600 That's the best answer, Sparky. 05:15:33.600 --> 05:15:36.600 Congratulations again on making the grand final the best of luck next week. 05:15:37.600 --> 05:15:39.600 Thank you. Thank you very much. Bye 05:15:41.320 --> 05:15:49.120 So CAG in another grand final in a pack daughters canetry tried their best seven five seven three the map results 05:15:49.120 --> 05:15:51.120 Hey again, it certainly did trace best us 05:15:54.360 --> 05:16:00.360 Yeah, honestly, it's really interesting in the thoughts of that matchup as a whole it seems like CAG and I mean spiking 05:16:00.360 --> 05:16:05.440 We're specifically kind of walking away from that with mixed feelings gonna try maybe catching them off in some parts 05:16:05.440 --> 05:16:11.840 But then also being a pretty predictable and easy to read in others. And so, yeah, ultimately they walk away with the wind on the less and 05:16:12.600 --> 05:16:17.160 Yeah, in terms of looking at that summary as a whole there was some some big names firing inside of the server 05:16:17.160 --> 05:16:20.720 So sets us up for an exciting grand final 05:16:20.720 --> 05:16:27.120 But the ultimate question will be who joins them and that lower bracket is still very much up in the air as to how that will develop 05:16:27.920 --> 05:16:30.480 Well, we're kind of on schedule today despite the 05:16:30.480 --> 05:16:36.120 the two two zeroes that we had due to the earlier delays, but short break and on the 05:16:36.120 --> 05:16:41.800 other side back to the long bracket and a dual dive match between D plus KIA and SCARS. 05:18:00.480 --> 05:18:12.840 It's been a long time since I've played a game like this, so I'm really happy. 05:18:12.840 --> 05:18:16.360 It's fun to play a game outside of the game. 05:18:16.360 --> 05:18:26.860 I really like the gun, even if it's not the most popular gun in Korea, I use it as if it's in a top 3. 05:18:26.860 --> 05:18:31.460 I think it's a gun that's really impossible to shoot. 05:18:31.460 --> 05:18:42.220 In the past, I thought it was just a gun, but I think it's a gun that's really good at shooting. 05:18:42.220 --> 05:18:48.380 I think I'm a deeper player than the language. 05:18:48.380 --> 05:18:54.580 I don't know if you're actively playing. 05:18:54.580 --> 05:18:58.060 What should I say about you? 05:18:58.060 --> 05:19:03.060 If you're a player, you can't defend your opponent well. 05:19:03.060 --> 05:19:05.580 If you're a player, you're really good. 05:19:05.580 --> 05:19:13.580 I didn't think you were winning the first game, because you were a very good player. 05:19:13.580 --> 05:19:21.580 I didn't think you were winning the first game, but I was happy that you won the NIP. 05:19:21.580 --> 05:19:30.580 I didn't think you were using the Rage Seizure at all, so I didn't think you were using it. 05:19:30.580 --> 05:19:34.180 I think it was fun to set up some of those things. 05:19:34.180 --> 05:19:36.740 First of all, I was really happy. 05:19:36.740 --> 05:19:39.340 SNS, too. 05:19:39.340 --> 05:19:47.020 When we came up here and saw the best team, I couldn't feel it. 05:19:47.020 --> 05:19:52.940 I definitely have to work harder because I'm representing Korea. 05:19:52.940 --> 05:19:55.860 I kept getting those emotions. 05:19:55.860 --> 05:20:04.860 I was thinking, let's play some more, but it didn't work out. 05:21:25.860 --> 05:21:31.860 I think it's time for me to go back to my old days. 05:21:31.860 --> 05:21:39.860 I'm not sure if there are any people who are working out with their muscles because of all the sports. 05:21:39.860 --> 05:21:45.860 Of course, you have a lot of personality and personality. 05:21:45.860 --> 05:21:51.860 I learned a lot from the mind of the game I play. 05:21:51.860 --> 05:22:01.860 My parents didn't like pro games, so I think I didn't know how to play them. 05:22:01.860 --> 05:22:13.360 But Faker showed me how to play pro games, so I think I know how to play pro games. 05:22:13.360 --> 05:22:35.360 If you don't play a lot of games, you only know League of Legends, so I'm here at the LCK team, so I asked for autographs. 05:22:35.360 --> 05:22:41.360 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to compete in the tournament. 05:22:41.360 --> 05:22:46.360 I think I'm doing better because my name is so big. 05:22:46.360 --> 05:22:52.360 The first international tournament was just a big goal. 05:22:52.360 --> 05:23:00.360 But the second international tournament was a little bit of a success, so I got a goal. 05:23:00.360 --> 05:23:09.000 I haven't won any international tournaments in the past year or two. 05:23:09.000 --> 05:23:12.160 I haven't won any international tournaments in the past year or two. 05:23:12.160 --> 05:23:21.360 I think there's still a way to win the tournament. 05:23:21.360 --> 05:23:25.360 I don't think there's a lot of impact on the tournament. 05:23:25.360 --> 05:23:33.760 We have a lot of strategy, and we have a lot of hard work to do. 05:23:33.760 --> 05:23:43.280 I think we have a top team, but we also have a team that needs to compete for the top. 05:23:43.280 --> 05:23:47.240 Except for our team, I think it's all a team that needs to compete for the top. 05:23:47.240 --> 05:23:54.200 If our team doesn't make it to the top, then we won't be able to eat it all. 05:23:54.200 --> 05:24:01.600 I think I kept trying hard to win the national championship and to retire. 05:29:24.200 --> 05:29:26.200 I 05:32:54.200 --> 05:33:21.820 I think that would be good idea. 05:33:21.820 --> 05:33:25.820 I don't think we can all make it. 05:33:25.820 --> 05:33:40.820 We have a lot of experience like us, so we'll do our best. 05:33:40.820 --> 05:33:42.820 I'm looking forward to the game. 05:33:42.820 --> 05:33:48.820 What are your expectations for the game? 05:33:48.820 --> 05:33:58.820 The game itself has changed, so I'm looking forward to it the most, and I'm looking forward to the results of the other tournaments. 05:33:58.820 --> 05:34:10.820 The potential of the individual is high, so it's a little scary when it explodes. 05:34:10.820 --> 05:34:26.820 The players who play in Asia are not in their own region, and there is a reason why they are in Asia. 05:34:26.820 --> 05:34:40.820 I don't want to disappoint my fans, but DPLUSGIA is our team. 05:34:40.820 --> 05:34:48.820 I just want to be a player who reminds me of Korea. 05:34:48.820 --> 05:34:55.380 I personally hope that in the whole world, 05:34:55.380 --> 05:35:02.420 I will be the best support player in the world. 05:35:18.820 --> 05:35:21.140 This region has got to up up! 05:35:25.540 --> 05:35:29.380 Well, a slightly extended break there due to ongoing server issues, 05:35:29.380 --> 05:35:33.660 but hopefully we can get underway for our final series of the night. 05:35:33.660 --> 05:35:37.740 Scars and D plus Kier, do a diet elimination game in the low bracket. 05:35:37.740 --> 05:35:39.900 Winner will play Kierner trope next week, 05:35:39.900 --> 05:35:43.060 because in what would be a big low bracket final, 05:35:43.060 --> 05:35:44.660 because Kierner trope had been looking very good. 05:35:44.660 --> 05:35:47.420 They did lose out close to CIG in our previous matchup, 05:35:47.420 --> 05:35:54.320 But they were very competitive to these two teams scars and deep whilst editing short of a major you think is value on the stage 05:35:54.500 --> 05:35:58.160 Certainly the D plus here a team with big aspirations in the region 05:35:58.980 --> 05:36:02.900 Yeah, absolutely. They obviously got locked down a peg after that devastating 05:36:03.500 --> 05:36:08.620 smacking against Cyclops who have gone on to prove that well, maybe they are the real deal and 05:36:09.340 --> 05:36:14.860 Contributed anyone in this region, but yeah, honey, you know D plus here that didn't start to the day 05:36:14.860 --> 05:36:18.980 A, eased into it quite nicely with a pretty confident win over Halba Salah Foe 05:36:18.980 --> 05:36:22.820 and heading into this game, I feel like I have a pretty decent read on D-Post Keeo 05:36:22.820 --> 05:36:26.900 in terms of how they can play, what the potential is, and they can certainly go 05:36:26.900 --> 05:36:30.940 into this match and I think be very, very confident. But that's if they ever 05:36:30.940 --> 05:36:34.420 could read on their opposition in Scarsworth, where truthfully, I haven't 05:36:34.420 --> 05:36:38.300 really seen enough of them this stage to have a great read on where they're at 05:36:38.300 --> 05:36:42.820 specifically right here right now. So for D-Post Keeo, I think it's more so about 05:36:42.820 --> 05:36:46.860 just internalizing, focusing on themselves, refining what they've got on offer, and activating 05:36:46.860 --> 05:36:51.100 some of the key players that they know have so much skill, and I think we actually saw 05:36:51.100 --> 05:36:55.900 a pretty good demonstration of that in the series earlier today, where Muzie in particular 05:36:55.900 --> 05:37:00.820 stood out as a player that really came alive, the replay package of the mofo, you know, 05:37:00.820 --> 05:37:05.380 supporting that where he got to a little slow start on Chalet, but he here was phenomenal 05:37:05.380 --> 05:37:08.940 over the course of that series, but it was also a team-wide effort where they're all 05:37:08.940 --> 05:37:12.820 They're all on the same page. They minimise mistakes. They didn't really hesitate off 05:37:12.820 --> 05:37:16.420 all over the course of that series. And I think that's what really led to that dominant 05:37:16.420 --> 05:37:17.420 result. 05:37:17.420 --> 05:37:22.980 Yeah, I think the D plus kids, it was probably a little case of back to the drawing board 05:37:22.980 --> 05:37:27.380 after they lost the CIG and it's been spoken at length that how they kind of took them 05:37:27.380 --> 05:37:32.420 apart. But it seems like they were pretty quickly from that. And for scars, it was their loss 05:37:32.420 --> 05:37:37.940 against Keener truck getting back in the bracket semifinal that sent them to the law bracket. 05:37:37.940 --> 05:37:43.400 they then beat LFO, no name, but again, wasn't really all that easy for them. They got a 05:37:43.400 --> 05:37:47.680 seven one, but then they lost eight seven and had to go to that third map on fortress, 05:37:47.680 --> 05:37:52.440 which we felt at the time going into that third map, anything could happen, but they 05:37:52.440 --> 05:37:56.760 were just way too good on the defense in that, in that map of Fortress ended up winning 05:37:56.760 --> 05:38:02.360 it seven threes. We look at the scars roster for this matchup. I can't help but get the 05:38:02.360 --> 05:38:08.360 feeling that they come into this as ever so slight underdogs. But if not that pretty equal 05:38:08.360 --> 05:38:12.760 margin, I think with where D plus Kira at the moment, they still got some really talented players 05:38:12.760 --> 05:38:17.080 rack and Nina are clearly having a very good stage themselves. Certainly Nina, when you look at the 05:38:17.080 --> 05:38:23.000 EPS numbers, but they couple that with his cost percentage plus four entries, they've got themselves 05:38:23.000 --> 05:38:29.240 a very solid roster. And it's always been a case of just trying to get it all to work together 05:38:29.240 --> 05:38:34.520 at the right time and what has many consider not really the strongest of the regions when it comes 05:38:34.520 --> 05:38:39.480 to even a pack level in comparison to Asia, but a very competitive region when you consider the 05:38:39.480 --> 05:38:44.920 teams that we've got. You're like Qnatrox, CAG, the last previously fear axe who were at the top of 05:38:44.920 --> 05:38:50.120 that list. Scars have just never been able to really kind of leapfrog a couple of those and put 05:38:50.120 --> 05:38:57.640 themselves in a major contention position. No, they've definitely dropped off the radar a little 05:38:57.640 --> 05:39:02.400 bit but I think that you know kickoff offers an opportunity for somewhat of a 05:39:02.400 --> 05:39:05.840 surge is from them they still have a very skilled experienced roster and I 05:39:05.840 --> 05:39:09.720 think it's about finding confidence I don't think the meadow is really going 05:39:09.720 --> 05:39:14.120 to do them too many favors I think they're actually in a pretty good 05:39:14.120 --> 05:39:20.160 position and so far they've looked solid 52% attacking win rate 68% 05:39:20.160 --> 05:39:24.840 defensive win rate the numbers they've been posting over the last few months 05:39:24.840 --> 05:39:31.080 have been quite positive and it's actually been a pretty fair spread in terms of EPS as well for 05:39:31.080 --> 05:39:34.680 the team looking at some of the numbers like Nina's leading the charge 122 but fish likes at the 05:39:34.680 --> 05:39:39.160 bottom 90 like he's actually stepped up a bit that quite a lot in that regard offering quite a bit 05:39:39.160 --> 05:39:45.880 of value to the team and so I'm hoping that this match really does offer some good back and forth 05:39:45.880 --> 05:39:50.760 from a strategic standpoint as well we've seen too many games that have blown out of being one-sided 05:39:50.760 --> 05:39:54.200 and I'm really hoping that this one does have a bit of back and forth about it. 05:39:54.200 --> 05:39:59.000 It's kind of funny. You say that with scars their last two series both two ones with deep loss here 05:39:59.000 --> 05:40:00.280 They've been in the blowout 05:40:00.280 --> 05:40:04.720 So you've got one team that's been in these kind of close series and then you've got the other one which has been 05:40:05.000 --> 05:40:11.720 Either for them or against them a blowout and I don't know. I guess does that then favor deep loss care that they've probably got the 05:40:12.000 --> 05:40:13.760 capabilities of just blowing out of a team 05:40:13.760 --> 05:40:19.120 So I think that the me if you come into a table cars are kind of struggled even in their wins 05:40:19.120 --> 05:40:22.240 They've kind of struggled. 05:40:22.240 --> 05:40:26.920 Their last time that they had a very easy time was against VRX7274 back on the opening 05:40:26.920 --> 05:40:27.920 playday. 05:40:27.920 --> 05:40:32.040 Again, new look, VRX roster, tried some different things, couple of new players, clearly a big 05:40:32.040 --> 05:40:33.040 shake up. 05:40:33.040 --> 05:40:37.320 And so they were very vulnerable to this stage, hence why they just went lost, lost. 05:40:37.320 --> 05:40:41.960 But outside of that one result, then even against other for no name, the fact that that 05:40:41.960 --> 05:40:45.800 goes three maps, but they had a 7-1, scars are like an enigma. 05:40:45.800 --> 05:40:47.400 They're kind of like COG light. 05:40:49.400 --> 05:40:50.360 Yeah, sure. 05:40:50.360 --> 05:40:53.720 I think in some respects, that's a pretty fair assessment. 05:40:53.720 --> 05:40:56.120 I think on a bad day, then sometimes it does bring 05:40:56.120 --> 05:41:00.000 D plus kids mental resolution into question 05:41:00.000 --> 05:41:01.200 under the microscope a little bit. 05:41:01.200 --> 05:41:03.640 I think we saw them shut down very quickly 05:41:03.640 --> 05:41:05.160 in that one-sided COG matchup. 05:41:05.160 --> 05:41:06.000 But then on the flip side, 05:41:06.000 --> 05:41:07.560 looking at it from a positive perspective, 05:41:07.560 --> 05:41:09.200 I think their momentum based nature 05:41:09.200 --> 05:41:10.480 means that they come out of the gate super strong 05:41:10.480 --> 05:41:11.800 in a series and they're feeling themselves 05:41:11.800 --> 05:41:14.000 and they're playing well and they kind of find a play state. 05:41:14.000 --> 05:41:18.460 It's very difficult for teams to wrangle back. So let's see where this series will take place 05:41:18.460 --> 05:41:22.120 Of course best of three map Vito and we'll see how it has 05:41:23.040 --> 05:41:27.880 Transplied I don't really have too many specific expectations for this series 05:41:28.080 --> 05:41:31.280 It ends up being club, lair and cafe 05:41:31.760 --> 05:41:34.480 Interestingly fortress was allowed through 05:41:35.120 --> 05:41:39.160 D plus Kia I presume would probably have the strategic depth to play it 05:41:39.160 --> 05:41:43.440 But ultimately, Scarlet will sidestep and Caffe ends up being the decider. 05:41:43.440 --> 05:41:46.160 So we see three maps that have seen a lot of playtime through appeal so far. 05:41:46.160 --> 05:41:48.160 And D-plus get there there again. 05:41:48.160 --> 05:41:54.160 It means they will play every single series thus far up to this point, including this match now. 05:41:54.160 --> 05:41:59.160 Clubhouse comes in, it's kind of middle of the park, near-back north region for selection. 05:41:59.160 --> 05:42:06.160 Lair has, well, probably thanks to D-plus here, become the most played map this day to kickoff. 05:42:06.160 --> 05:42:12.160 kickoff cafe is the least played but if we do get there and it does get played 05:42:12.160 --> 05:42:16.160 in the series it'll then therefore be tied as the least played with Nine Haven Labs 05:42:16.160 --> 05:42:20.920 for whatever reason Nine Haven Labs is just not a big map in this 05:42:20.920 --> 05:42:25.280 particular sub-region and and certainly Lair again courtesy of Div Lascair being 05:42:25.280 --> 05:42:29.160 the most played just seems like a map where a lot of teams feel comfortable to 05:42:29.160 --> 05:42:32.480 go because I guess from Skars perspective I mean they picked clubhouse 05:42:32.480 --> 05:42:36.920 But they have allowed Lair by not banning it away. They wanted to get rid of Chalet and Bank 05:42:37.200 --> 05:42:40.840 More so than allowing D plus the opportunity to play Lair again 05:42:42.120 --> 05:42:47.380 Yeah, I think the stage is then set pretty clearly right if scars fail to win their map selection. I 05:42:48.560 --> 05:42:54.260 Don't know what the path forward from there is given just how formidable D plus have looked on Lair 05:42:54.260 --> 05:42:57.520 Their ability to break it down what they've been able to show so far their response 05:42:57.520 --> 05:43:05.520 I think it makes it very very tricky, and I definitely do not take D plus lightly on that first map of clubhouse 05:43:05.520 --> 05:43:11.640 They will know the structures in and out and more more more importantly than that the flow of the team play that they had on off 05:43:11.640 --> 05:43:18.760 Earlier today, which is really strong you could transpose that over the world's club where you already know kind of the basic structures 05:43:18.760 --> 05:43:22.000 Etc. It's just about implementing that on the day then yeah 05:43:22.000 --> 05:43:27.560 I think it's going to be a tough little matchup for Skars and hopefully we again we see that that fight back and forth 05:43:27.560 --> 05:43:33.760 I want to see these two teams battle it out a little more strategically than maybe some of the other series that we've had so far 05:43:35.040 --> 05:43:37.000 Yeah, I mean clubhouse as I agree with you 05:43:37.000 --> 05:43:42.760 I think will be the deciding factor in a series like this where if Skars can win it then this has the potential of 05:43:43.040 --> 05:43:47.640 Going all three maps or and maybe then giving them the confidence boost to going into land which 05:43:48.240 --> 05:43:51.600 Whenever you allow a map like that through you do have to take the note 05:43:52.000 --> 05:44:00.420 the notable takeaways from D plus's loss on that map to C AG, but it's very difficult to just sort of emulate what C AG did 05:44:00.420 --> 05:44:04.260 And we saw that in the earlier series today where of course D plus beat out helper cell phone 05:44:04.260 --> 05:44:06.400 They beat them seven nothing on that map 05:44:06.760 --> 05:44:12.600 So clubhouse for me needs to be must win for scars if they lose this map D plus will go very confidently 05:44:13.000 --> 05:44:20.280 Into their map pick up layer puts the pressure on nice and early. It is a lower bracket elimination game all bracket semi-final 05:44:20.280 --> 05:44:26.220 Scars D plus winner will take on kina trope next week in the lower bracket final 05:44:26.640 --> 05:44:28.640 The loser is done 05:44:31.700 --> 05:44:35.840 Well, let's see if we finally get the close game that we have been I 05:44:36.280 --> 05:44:40.920 So is begging for it. He had this point kick it off over towards clubhouse 05:44:40.920 --> 05:44:45.380 But pick of scars and as such they will start out on attack. I 05:44:45.380 --> 05:44:51.880 I want to say D-Post have the comfort of defense, but with the way that clubhouse sometimes can play out the way it can get broken down, 05:44:52.380 --> 05:44:54.380 it's part of that, of course, dependent on the bands. 05:44:54.880 --> 05:45:00.380 It may not necessarily translate to the most comfortable of positions for them. 05:45:00.880 --> 05:45:04.380 The bands, as I have played out, it is the Monte Grimm combination. 05:45:04.380 --> 05:45:09.880 So two operators that are particularly strong on this map, especially when you think about strongholds such as Rafters. 05:45:09.880 --> 05:45:16.240 And then as we typically see teams want to alleviate pressure on the hard breach and so the kite and the bandit will be benched as well 05:45:18.360 --> 05:45:21.640 Church and Arsenal the site choice no surprises there 05:45:24.320 --> 05:45:26.320 Excited this one though 05:45:26.760 --> 05:45:31.880 Again, I think outside of like 50 plus they they come into this with overall overall good form 05:45:31.880 --> 05:45:33.880 They just had the one slip up against 05:45:34.280 --> 05:45:37.640 Cag but outside of that they've been very dominant against everyone else 05:45:37.640 --> 05:45:43.320 And so I'm a little worried for Scars if Scars brings some of the inconsistencies that we 05:45:43.320 --> 05:45:46.800 saw from their matches, including even in their wins. 05:45:46.800 --> 05:45:50.720 You can't help but then feel as if they pass with too strong for them and too aggressive 05:45:50.720 --> 05:45:55.760 and and certainly from a strategic level, the Brazilians are next level when it comes 05:45:55.760 --> 05:45:56.760 to that. 05:45:56.760 --> 05:46:01.560 When they get to start on defense on your map pick, like they can get a pretty hefty 05:46:01.560 --> 05:46:04.920 lead if it's five one-half territory then it's sort of like oh boy this is 05:46:04.920 --> 05:46:10.440 nervous times you know we see it's gonna start basement but Levy's gonna go on 05:46:10.440 --> 05:46:14.280 to the scope horse and with a lot of activity on the second floor right now 05:46:14.280 --> 05:46:19.080 I just wonder if D plus want to kick things off with a nice aggressive early 05:46:19.080 --> 05:46:29.080 own. Yeah, certainly it looks that way. 05:46:29.080 --> 05:46:38.040 A lot of presence around the map here at the moment for D plus Kiga. 05:46:38.040 --> 05:46:47.960 This could be Deroz. It could be. Maybe. They're investigating. 05:46:47.960 --> 05:46:54.680 like might give the call here but it's clear. Yeah that delays, that just delays. Falls is already 05:46:55.640 --> 05:47:00.600 retreated back to the site just to prevent that from being an easy route one attack. 05:47:02.200 --> 05:47:08.200 It's still going to emphasis though. Yeah it's playing out very standard for a dirt tease. 05:47:08.200 --> 05:47:11.160 Oh levy though, it takes a big chunk of damage courtesy of Nino. 05:47:11.160 --> 05:47:16.160 I'll say he just can't swap back. 05:47:16.160 --> 05:47:24.520 Look, I don't think this is, well, this is now a win for D plus Ki, again, in the opening 05:47:24.520 --> 05:47:25.520 kill. 05:47:25.520 --> 05:47:26.520 It's going to save her. 05:47:26.520 --> 05:47:28.600 We've either seen a bit of a stalemate start, but the fact that scars are put, you know, 05:47:28.600 --> 05:47:34.960 the double stack over towards with with Wreck and, um, also Dino, I can't remember his name, 05:47:34.960 --> 05:47:36.440 sorry, but Midi gets another one. 05:47:36.440 --> 05:47:42.640 to view kids and everyone's lounge midi has completed the trifecta and it is now 05:47:42.640 --> 05:47:45.440 indeed just the double stack towards dirt that's all that's left and this is 05:47:45.440 --> 05:47:49.680 the thing is that for these two in dirt that kind of just been sad here doing 05:47:49.680 --> 05:47:52.680 really not a whole lot 05:47:57.120 --> 05:48:05.800 yeah it's just good stall out yeah but a snake a plant no okay Nizi will line 05:48:05.800 --> 05:48:08.880 them up and D plus Keele confidently take round one. 05:48:08.880 --> 05:48:14.640 Yeah, but Bodgy's also doing is of course fish like they love their name changes sometimes 05:48:14.640 --> 05:48:18.320 a pack players. 05:48:18.320 --> 05:48:23.520 So yeah, I mean, it's the kind of round where if if D plus arts which don't have the right 05:48:23.520 --> 05:48:28.160 utility, there is a chance that the dirt push could have been on for scars. 05:48:28.160 --> 05:48:34.620 But as soon as that first ball can canister pops and you get the scope was to to shell 05:48:34.620 --> 05:48:40.000 transfer back you've got to give up on that and just go for whatever is you 05:48:40.000 --> 05:48:43.560 know your plan B but I wonder with that lineup did they even really have a plan 05:48:43.560 --> 05:48:49.400 B that's a disappointing start for scars I mean I always say it when it comes to 05:48:49.400 --> 05:48:53.280 base with globhouse you don't need to win it but you want to be competitive 05:48:53.280 --> 05:48:57.200 and I certainly wasn't competitive that's it's pretty comfortable in the 05:48:57.200 --> 05:49:12.280 the end for D-plus kill. So I'm over to CacheCCTV and D-plus I think they typically do this 05:49:12.280 --> 05:49:16.800 bring the castle for the vert hold down below through lounge, try to alleviate some pressure 05:49:16.800 --> 05:49:21.440 that can be generated by the attack either from directly verting or up the main stairs 05:49:21.440 --> 05:49:25.440 And I'll also bring the clash as a second layer of defence. 05:49:25.440 --> 05:49:35.440 Of course it's important to note that the Monty and Grim are banned out and so Muzie and Gavraj should have a little bit better of a time defending over towards rafters, 05:49:35.440 --> 05:49:40.440 but the Capitao is still available, still a good chunk of utility that can be dumped into that position. 05:49:40.440 --> 05:49:48.440 Raterios as well can have impact, so it's not exactly a free place to contest. 05:49:48.440 --> 05:49:54.560 The high boots they should be pretty free and pretty straightforward, and I was already 05:49:54.560 --> 05:49:55.560 opened up. 05:49:55.560 --> 05:50:01.920 I'm chipping away some of the Castle Utility down below as well as his Skars, before I show 05:50:01.920 --> 05:50:06.800 that first grenade to me to quite hit the mark. 05:50:06.800 --> 05:50:10.600 I'm intrigued to see how Skars look to break this one down, how they ultimately want to 05:50:10.600 --> 05:50:11.880 deal with the clash as well. 05:50:11.880 --> 05:50:19.160 going to be a tricky part of this defense to deal with. They've given themselves 05:50:19.160 --> 05:50:22.200 lots of different routes, I think they've also done a good job investing in to 05:50:22.200 --> 05:50:25.000 deal with the castle down below as well. Maybe they're eager to activate the 05:50:25.000 --> 05:50:29.520 Deimos, trying to reckon a playmaking position. Whether they know the lot as 05:50:29.520 --> 05:50:33.960 well, maybe in the garage, could be quite exposed here if they can open in 05:50:33.960 --> 05:50:38.520 through secret. Maybe get a bit of a foothold over the front door, he could get caught in a 05:50:38.520 --> 05:50:46.040 crunch, Barwashoi, he falls. He needed some help there, he was kind of pinched on the 05:50:46.040 --> 05:50:49.680 right side of that and was a little bit trapped to the swing of Midi. What they needed to 05:50:49.680 --> 05:50:54.320 do is have someone on that left side of the opening so that if he did go for the swing, 05:50:54.320 --> 05:50:58.120 and again it's the same thing has happened. What's needed doing there, he's got to help 05:50:58.120 --> 05:51:01.660 out. Now he's trying to take a 1v1. Finally they get the pinch pressure coming in from 05:51:01.660 --> 05:51:06.720 secret but Midi's already gotten two kills when he shouldn't have even gotten one. They 05:51:06.720 --> 05:51:10.680 could have easily gotten some help over to a shoy he could have tucked in get 05:51:10.680 --> 05:51:15.400 someone on the left side of that if mitty swings that you get the kill and 05:51:15.400 --> 05:51:19.840 they're gonna draw your attention back over towards site and you still got to 05:51:19.840 --> 05:51:24.400 deal with this clash music just sits rafters he hasn't been cleared out you 05:51:24.400 --> 05:51:30.280 also wasted one of your flame bolts as well in dealing with midi so he's gonna 05:51:30.280 --> 05:51:33.080 They're not going to be able to clear here unless Musi gives his life away 05:51:41.640 --> 05:51:47.900 And Musi's done a very good job in valuing his life and eventually does get caught by fish like so three three 05:51:48.400 --> 05:51:50.700 30 seconds wreck has cross 05:51:52.320 --> 05:51:57.120 Skars don't find themselves in the worst position right now falls with double gas baby. Is that enough to 05:51:57.120 --> 05:52:01.400 To stall out this push. Yeah, I mean with 20 seconds. It is when you couple it with the clash 05:52:01.400 --> 05:52:09.040 I think it is enough and I haven't got any presence down below lounge up through red. So it's all gonna be rather direct 05:52:09.900 --> 05:52:13.840 Well, hang on. It's now a 1v2, but it's still gonna get the kid onto the ground 05:52:13.840 --> 05:52:20.820 Let me complete a time a little bit Rex been able to reacquire it. He is very very low trying to play off the pings 05:52:20.820 --> 05:52:26.260 Unsuccessfully because it's planted towards default the other side of the server, right? That's one down 05:52:26.760 --> 05:52:31.200 Nina is very low. This is so winnable for levy and he converts. Yeah job done 05:52:33.900 --> 05:52:35.400 That's nice 05:52:35.400 --> 05:52:39.640 I love the way that he is just immediately sprung into action 05:52:39.640 --> 05:52:46.700 No hesitation has a clear plan and by by doing that and by not messing around both players who are lower to HP 05:52:46.700 --> 05:52:53.020 Get trapped in a position. That's a readable that he doesn't allow someone to escape outside or someone to go deep rafters or jump out 05:52:53.460 --> 05:52:59.860 The vent window for example, he crunches them into a position. That's predictable and readable and able to move them down 05:52:59.860 --> 05:53:03.740 That's a really really good clutch attempt in conversion 05:53:04.460 --> 05:53:09.140 And D plus K off to you know flying start at the moment here on defense club 05:53:09.140 --> 05:53:14.540 I think scars did a good job though of getting themselves into a winnable winnable position in that round 05:53:14.540 --> 05:53:19.240 You know, it was what three three twenty seconds left you mentioned the two gas babes that should be enough usually 05:53:19.980 --> 05:53:26.080 To at least delay like a default plant. I mean it depends on how safe you are in being able to throw those out 05:53:26.080 --> 05:53:30.880 But falls just kind of goes down a little too easy right there Nina just pushes through plans to kill and 05:53:31.680 --> 05:53:35.000 They dealt with me is on the clash pretty comfortably 05:53:35.280 --> 05:53:40.540 The downside was that they had little time and the players that were left alive were pretty low on health 05:53:40.540 --> 05:53:48.240 So it gave Levy a really good opportunity in a 1v2 where he wasn't totally without a world's chance. 05:53:48.240 --> 05:53:51.240 It was probably a pretty even 1v2, all things considered. 05:53:51.240 --> 05:53:58.240 You know, in that situation, if you have one person outside, you know, repel Kennels, it's very different. 05:53:58.240 --> 05:54:02.740 Because getting the crossover towards the bomb chassis is far more difficult, but they were double stacked together. 05:54:02.740 --> 05:54:05.740 So he had space to push into CCTV. 05:54:06.380 --> 05:54:11.020 To nothing start for D plus care though so far so good getting the jobs on on the defense 05:54:11.020 --> 05:54:13.440 And it just means for scars got to be mindful of the fact that 05:54:14.380 --> 05:54:18.180 Yeah clubhouse can certainly favor defense, but 05:54:19.160 --> 05:54:23.860 You need to get at least your two rounds. It's it's the one that where it's like yeah 05:54:23.860 --> 05:54:27.480 You probably having some good opportunities, especially cash and CCTV 05:54:28.260 --> 05:54:32.940 But you got to convert and they didn't on that opportunity now Jim bedroom for D plus to go around the world 05:54:32.940 --> 05:54:36.940 get a 3-0 and start it is up next. 05:54:47.580 --> 05:54:52.140 So the mirror available it's going to be exploited this round by D plus kill 1, 05:54:52.140 --> 05:54:56.700 orange QZ and the second follow up towards Barthun that adds two layers of 05:54:56.700 --> 05:55:01.700 of Hard Bridge's disruption against this attack. 05:55:01.700 --> 05:55:05.340 I like to just bring the solid primaries on W'shoi, 05:55:05.340 --> 05:55:07.220 but there are secondaries of course, 05:55:07.220 --> 05:55:10.340 a plethora of them available across both Breck and Fischleck. 05:55:12.660 --> 05:55:14.300 The false task of holding this position 05:55:14.300 --> 05:55:16.300 has perhaps to assist, 05:55:17.620 --> 05:55:20.780 and say with one impact left to be trying to ensure 05:55:20.780 --> 05:55:24.100 that that lands if additional Hard Bridge is used on the wall 05:55:24.100 --> 05:55:29.100 and then the rest of these catch-all swimming middies looking for information, 05:55:29.100 --> 05:55:35.100 if it was Lodgy in nears as well, with a bit of a shoulder peek over towards Rafters. 05:55:35.100 --> 05:55:40.100 You'll fall for that position, peel back towards the side as the Lodgy bomb rains out. 05:55:42.100 --> 05:55:46.100 And so both teams will be pretty content at this point of the round. 05:55:46.100 --> 05:55:50.100 I think D-Post key though, for the low risk that they've had to play this round, 05:55:50.100 --> 05:55:53.100 they've been able to absorb quite a bit of time. 05:55:53.100 --> 05:55:56.540 That being said though, a minute's plenty to work with when the entire defence has 05:55:56.540 --> 05:56:00.380 squeaked back towards the side as opposed to maybe holding Lodgy or holding 05:56:00.380 --> 05:56:05.100 into its con. I say Lodgy, but midi actually is there as well with Nitro. 05:56:05.100 --> 05:56:09.260 And then with these army onsite, these bank positions might not be 05:56:09.260 --> 05:56:13.900 actually that weak. Nina falls, and D plus Kiya get the first down. 05:56:13.900 --> 05:56:17.780 It can get this res on Nina, but it's going to be a time investment. 05:56:17.780 --> 05:56:22.380 40 seconds left in the round, so you haven't got a lot of it. He's not parking, someone will go get the res. 05:56:22.380 --> 05:56:29.180 I mean, you would imagine someone is taking a while and all they've got is cash. That's it 05:56:29.180 --> 05:56:31.460 That's the only bit of control inside of the building right now for scars 05:56:31.460 --> 05:56:37.020 So they've been completely kept out away from the site. You've still got impacts. Not yourself for midi hauling towards logistics 05:56:37.020 --> 05:56:42.300 This is gonna have to be a red time rush from scars as the logic bomb rings out for the new kids after they got Nina 05:56:42.300 --> 05:56:47.300 Backed up its knees that gets to open the kill under which way midi and let me both fall at the same time looking for that 05:56:47.300 --> 05:56:53.140 Pressure over towards the balcony with a jump out of 10. Yuki's goes down 2v2 7 seconds wreck inside a gym 05:56:53.140 --> 05:56:56.940 Has to go for the plant behind wait as near as good shot though onto Nina 05:56:57.060 --> 05:57:00.060 Rec then got off kit. No time left and the rounds done 05:57:00.060 --> 05:57:04.300 You could just run at him and rec will get off to save the KDs D plus go three straight 05:57:05.820 --> 05:57:07.100 D plus 05:57:07.100 --> 05:57:09.100 Looking red hot at the moment 05:57:09.620 --> 05:57:12.780 And that's even despite scars themselves actually looking pretty sharp 05:57:12.780 --> 05:57:16.940 that's now back-to-back rounds where they've been able to fight themselves into a pretty 05:57:16.940 --> 05:57:21.740 winnable position. I think that their ability to snap there on the execute back in that third 05:57:21.740 --> 05:57:26.780 round was actually pretty impressive. But yeah, the race absorbed quite a bit of time 05:57:27.500 --> 05:57:31.180 and some of those anchor positions proved difficult to deal with as well. The Izami was 05:57:31.180 --> 05:57:36.620 offering a lot of value. It was definitely a tricky round to try and break down on 05:57:36.620 --> 05:57:41.300 and E plus Kia with a couple of big individual efforts 05:57:41.300 --> 05:57:44.400 mechanically have done a good job here 05:57:44.400 --> 05:57:47.340 in establishing a good clean first rotation. 05:57:48.420 --> 05:57:50.300 And as we enter round number four, 05:57:50.300 --> 05:57:53.600 it's the Deimos and the Mirror that have been panned out. 05:57:56.260 --> 05:57:58.600 Attackers need to locate and diffuse bombs. 05:58:03.220 --> 05:58:04.740 Look at the replays of the previous round. 05:58:04.740 --> 05:58:06.140 Again, just setting the scars, 05:58:06.140 --> 05:58:13.420 himself so little time on the clock and this didn't help either having to go and get Nina back up, 05:58:13.420 --> 05:58:18.060 which just forced her to execute time down to the last 20 seconds. They did a decent job though, 05:58:18.060 --> 05:58:23.340 to be fair, of actually getting quite a few kills. At one point, technically it was a 2v4, 05:58:24.540 --> 05:58:28.780 there's a technicality, I think it was a down play or two, and then again there was only like 05:58:28.780 --> 05:58:35.740 10 seconds left in the round, you're scrambling at that point. Just D plus K in good positions, 05:58:35.740 --> 05:58:40.940 set up very nicely and we head back to basement and this is going to be a big test now for scars 05:58:40.940 --> 05:58:44.540 you know you're three hill down they've gone around the world you're going to get a second 05:58:44.540 --> 05:58:49.500 opportunity on each of these sites most likely and unless you maybe win here they might repeat but 05:58:49.500 --> 05:58:53.260 nevertheless you've got to get you two rounds you've got three opportunities to do so 05:58:55.820 --> 05:59:01.340 and there hasn't been a whole lot to show so far right now as to why clubhouses and map pick was 05:59:01.340 --> 05:59:09.420 the the right call that they're not breaking through this defense of D plus and last time 05:59:09.420 --> 05:59:14.460 now it was the wasted time towards dirt this time around fish like goes dirt immediately again 05:59:15.420 --> 05:59:17.580 they have dropped the glass for the solid snake 05:59:23.980 --> 05:59:27.180 yeah we'll save that in combination with the lion canada it's some intel gathering 05:59:27.180 --> 05:59:34.180 They seem pretty eager though to again have fish like working on the blitz over towards 05:59:34.180 --> 05:59:35.180 dirt. 05:59:35.180 --> 05:59:40.420 Probably in an attempt to force some of that defense actually back to the site which isn't 05:59:40.420 --> 05:59:47.300 inherently the worst idea ever. 05:59:47.300 --> 05:59:53.060 Still a big investment offside here from D plus Kia. 05:59:53.060 --> 05:59:55.260 Still roars cash kitchen stage. 05:59:55.260 --> 06:00:00.380 He is in a pretty aggressive position over to what's kitchen currently. 06:00:00.380 --> 06:00:02.180 I wonder if Skars can catch him. 06:00:02.180 --> 06:00:07.460 I don't know what he's doing. 06:00:07.460 --> 06:00:11.700 That is bamboozling to say the least, but they at least open up the opportunity for 06:00:11.700 --> 06:00:12.700 the trade. 06:00:12.700 --> 06:00:13.700 That's not the end of the log. 06:00:13.700 --> 06:00:18.860 I mean, if you're going to lose that early defender, it's certainly into his army, which 06:00:18.860 --> 06:00:20.700 is so strong on basement. 06:00:20.700 --> 06:00:22.780 He's got to get that trade and really he's done a good job. 06:00:22.780 --> 06:00:27.620 He's been so active in the server at the moment and I love his position. 06:00:27.620 --> 06:00:33.420 A little late though to react Nina just wide swings it and Mitty just lets him get quite 06:00:33.420 --> 06:00:37.820 a bit of a gap on the swing a little late to fire. 06:00:37.820 --> 06:00:44.580 You're going to play that aggressive in a 4v4 baseman side clubhouse a minute left. 06:00:44.580 --> 06:00:46.660 You could opt to just go back down main stairs. 06:00:46.660 --> 06:00:49.620 You've got to really hit your shot. 06:00:49.620 --> 06:00:52.700 Again, another trade music. 06:00:52.700 --> 06:00:55.980 And that's what D-plus can do a good job of, is if they lose the player, they'll double 06:00:55.980 --> 06:01:01.100 down and they'll try and get either the advantage back, or to even it back up. 06:01:01.100 --> 06:01:05.260 3v3, still the blitz up though for Fishlight, in towards Arsenal, along with Moushoy. 06:01:05.260 --> 06:01:09.180 They're the last two up now, falls with a big pick, but he gets traded by the pistol. 06:01:09.180 --> 06:01:12.500 They've got more time on the clock, this is better, they've got 30 seconds. 06:01:12.500 --> 06:01:16.860 And that's a lovely shot from Moushoy on to Buzi, and it leaves Levy now on the 1v2, coming 06:01:16.860 --> 06:01:18.100 in from blue. 06:01:18.100 --> 06:01:24.660 His fish light gets off the plant, repositions inside of Arsenal to a safer location away 06:01:24.660 --> 06:01:28.220 from this church angle all levy and the plant will be successful. 06:01:28.220 --> 06:01:33.340 And he'll immediately get that shield back up in his face and certainly looks like now 06:01:33.340 --> 06:01:37.460 scars should be able to find their first attacking round win unless they absolutely 06:01:37.460 --> 06:01:38.460 butcher it from here. 06:01:38.460 --> 06:01:40.980 Trying to find the shoulder shot which would get the down. 06:01:40.980 --> 06:01:41.980 Foot shot will do the job as well. 06:01:41.980 --> 06:01:46.260 Doesn't know where we're sure he is and walks a little too close to the sun as he's blinded 06:01:46.260 --> 06:01:49.260 by the shield of the Blitz. Scars are on the board. 06:01:52.260 --> 06:02:01.760 Good work from Scars. The final portion of the round there was really impressive. Doing a good job to get the defuser safely on the ground. 06:02:03.260 --> 06:02:15.260 Despite winning the round, Scars will actually take their tactical time out. Sensing that this is an opportunity probably for them to build a little bit of momentum, 06:02:15.260 --> 06:02:20.780 maybe try to hit the scoreboard a couple more times in the half and then sort of 06:02:20.780 --> 06:02:26.340 make up for a bit of a slow start. They continue to levitate the blitz nice nicely. 06:02:26.340 --> 06:02:31.940 I've been enjoying that. I think D plus Kib probably doing it a poor job that 06:02:31.940 --> 06:02:36.500 time around and dealing with that. We saw some oddities off the site with Nikkis 06:02:36.500 --> 06:02:39.580 getting completely caught out of Doors Kitchen and whilst that was traded I 06:02:39.580 --> 06:02:43.500 think it did fell off their structure a little bit. I'm kind of playing on the 06:02:43.500 --> 06:02:45.500 back foot for the majority of that ground but 06:02:45.980 --> 06:02:50.780 Probably one they can pretty easily chalk down to being some big mistakes that they can correct going for 06:02:53.780 --> 06:02:56.260 Cush and a CCTV on this yeah 06:02:56.260 --> 06:03:01.500 I mean you don't have to go flawless if you do plus keep you be a little bit annoyed and concerned that you did give up church 06:03:01.500 --> 06:03:03.500 I still be able to get the credit to scars 06:03:04.540 --> 06:03:11.060 But I also do question a little bit of the philosophy of D plus in that round just a little too aggressive at times and certainly 06:03:11.060 --> 06:03:18.180 Some of the holds I think were overly aggressive and gave good opportunities for scars to get picks on a basement site where at times 06:03:18.180 --> 06:03:22.900 You'll see plenty of teams just thought for a five stack down below to give the attacking team absolutely no chance 06:03:22.980 --> 06:03:27.020 the downside of that is you then give yourself pretty much no chance of finding an early pick and 06:03:27.980 --> 06:03:31.660 Usually pretty high win rate if you can get a 5v4 advantage as the defense 06:03:31.660 --> 06:03:36.260 So it has merit to why you would want to play that aggressive style 06:03:36.260 --> 06:03:43.500 I just wanted they over invested a little bit and the other factor in all of this is scars time management was far better 06:03:43.940 --> 06:03:48.160 So you get the 1v2 situation or in their case 2v1 you have 30 seconds 06:03:48.160 --> 06:03:50.380 So you're not rushed you're you know rushing around 06:03:50.980 --> 06:03:56.720 If it was like eight seconds to go well, I could have played out very differently. They just gave themselves some breathing room 06:03:59.900 --> 06:04:05.180 And happy to see scars get a little reward for effort because yeah, it was a three nothing started 06:04:05.180 --> 06:04:07.180 but that had good moments. 06:04:11.180 --> 06:04:13.180 Yeah, they certainly have. 06:04:15.180 --> 06:04:18.180 I might find that magical second round though in the half, 06:04:18.180 --> 06:04:21.180 open the sense for round number five. 06:04:22.180 --> 06:04:28.180 And again, uncontested, pretty simple in terms of opening up these exterior hard breach positions. 06:04:29.180 --> 06:04:31.180 I mean, just to know what the four behind the sense is, 06:04:31.180 --> 06:04:36.380 it's typically used for util dump on con side here so you can then dash across and get the plan on 06:04:36.380 --> 06:04:42.700 the table or... it's all got a safer position, it's out of cash itself I presume. We'll see something 06:04:42.700 --> 06:04:46.860 similar here as well. It's probably versus whole enough that you can make it work over towards 06:04:46.860 --> 06:04:51.260 kennels as well and we'll show it's currently cooking that up. You can block some of the lines 06:04:51.260 --> 06:04:56.460 aside from red or for cash itself, maybe you can go for a tough plan. May mean they try and 06:04:56.460 --> 06:05:02.240 short cut the garage clue as well but I feel that is very high risk very aggressive also 06:05:02.240 --> 06:05:07.880 midi down below he'll need to be contested otherwise that plant is not going down well 06:05:07.880 --> 06:05:10.000 utils cooking up here so scars might be going 06:05:10.000 --> 06:05:24.280 oh again well midi is down I did lose wreck midi's been pretty active on the defense so 06:05:24.280 --> 06:05:33.080 so far in this half largely to a lot of success, but I don't think they're going to be able 06:05:33.080 --> 06:05:34.680 to get him back up to be honest. 06:05:34.680 --> 06:05:43.760 Muzie probably would want to just sit rafters and not have any risk. 06:05:43.760 --> 06:05:48.320 I think at this point, Midi's just going to be the live down drone to get some information 06:05:48.320 --> 06:05:53.320 below rafters for musi and that's his role for the next 10 seconds 06:05:56.860 --> 06:05:59.500 the seconds that are pretty crucial for scars right now 06:06:01.100 --> 06:06:06.300 so 4v4 45 seconds and you still haven't cleared out rafters and nearsaw has a 06:06:06.300 --> 06:06:07.980 nitro cell over towards cash 06:06:09.100 --> 06:06:12.180 you got a couple of flashes you can dump into the site along with the sends r u so 06:06:12.180 --> 06:06:13.740 they can get away in 06:06:14.620 --> 06:06:17.460 but they're pushing in late again with time 06:06:18.320 --> 06:06:20.960 Lovely clear though, onto muzie. 06:06:22.200 --> 06:06:24.200 And now they've opened up rafters. 06:06:24.200 --> 06:06:26.920 With the play red Vantage, this becomes oh so winnable. 06:06:29.440 --> 06:06:32.920 I'm nervous about that plant and I'll potentially down below those 15 seconds. 06:06:32.920 --> 06:06:34.600 Have scars accounted for it. 06:06:34.600 --> 06:06:37.120 Oh, how's that from Niers? 06:06:37.120 --> 06:06:38.240 Does it move a muscle? 06:06:38.240 --> 06:06:40.680 Just tap tap finds the kill onto Fishlight. 06:06:40.680 --> 06:06:44.240 Traded to site and this is where it's a big moment from Levy. 06:06:44.240 --> 06:06:47.280 Outside gets the kill through CC window. 06:06:47.280 --> 06:06:53.080 And nothing that Nina can do is the time expires. It's another round win for D plus kids. They go for one up 06:06:55.880 --> 06:07:00.840 Yeah, another really good plan to lay around a couple of key positions a hell really clean shot 06:07:00.840 --> 06:07:03.720 Overwards rafters to disrupt the default plant scars 06:07:04.120 --> 06:07:08.760 No, there's no I think there's an element there too much fluffing around when they had really good belt of utils still remain 06:07:08.760 --> 06:07:11.480 They could have made that count at least consider the tuck plant 06:07:11.480 --> 06:07:18.280 They had coverage down below in lounge and there's some never got in any kind of position to force the hand force that plant 06:07:18.280 --> 06:07:20.280 And I'll out from D plus Kia 06:07:21.200 --> 06:07:26.500 It was a clean shot the jump out was well timed falls to his job of the back line as well 06:07:28.640 --> 06:07:35.080 That's a good half from D plus Kia and it quickly flips into a great half provided they win this next round 06:07:41.480 --> 06:07:47.760 I mean, this is the pivotal round now. It's not make or break, it never is. No game of siege comes down to a single round, but 06:07:48.480 --> 06:07:52.280 The difference between a 5-1 and a 4-2 can go such a long way 06:07:56.680 --> 06:07:58.680 4 map pick as well 06:07:59.040 --> 06:08:06.360 So Jim Bedford corner round of the half, E plus stop, Nearset marker 4 round, Nearset 1 away from Nearset marker 2 06:08:06.360 --> 06:08:13.340 It's been a good contest, I mean, for a 4-1 scoreline, again, the rounds have been pretty 06:08:13.340 --> 06:08:16.920 lively, they've been pretty close back and forth, certainly in a lot of the early-round 06:08:16.920 --> 06:08:17.920 engagements. 06:08:17.920 --> 06:08:29.840 Midi started incredibly hot, but they've started to clue onto what he's doing now. 06:08:29.840 --> 06:08:34.240 Yuki's is going to go one during through the map with a strip side entrance 06:08:49.360 --> 06:08:55.680 Yeah, the solid snake is an interesting addition for the sixth round. Yuki's will be pretty eager to try and hit that scoreboard 06:08:55.680 --> 06:09:00.000 a little harder just the one pick for him so far, but he can like the low and give 06:09:00.000 --> 06:09:04.200 information at the moment. What we're gonna be more useful if and when he can 06:09:04.200 --> 06:09:10.000 transition up main, give info late round. I don't think he's really expecting to be 06:09:10.000 --> 06:09:15.440 able to deliver much at this portion of the round. Yeah clearly the defense all 06:09:15.440 --> 06:09:19.840 staggered on the second floor at the moment and so unless it's a drop or a 06:09:19.840 --> 06:09:24.840 rotation. He's not going to find a lot of value from the radar. 06:09:24.840 --> 06:09:28.840 Early U2 belt, minute 40. Skars at the go button. 06:09:28.840 --> 06:09:32.840 They're going to pick up the pace. It's been a slow-pacing half, but it's going to work 06:09:32.840 --> 06:09:35.840 out for D-plus in their favor right now. What should we do? Give him the plant down inside 06:09:35.840 --> 06:09:39.840 of the gym. Hello, up close. Music gets the knife. He gets the knife kill onto a 06:09:39.840 --> 06:09:44.840 shoot, traded immediately by U-Kiss, but it disrupts the attack quite a lot. 06:09:44.840 --> 06:09:48.840 U-Kiss getting that trade from below, so no one inside of the building with the kit 06:09:48.840 --> 06:10:15.840 gym. That's a big win for D plus Kia. They'll be very happy that they've been able to offset that rush attempt by scars. And for scars, when you go for those kind of rushes, usually that's your plan A and your only plan. Your plan B now is to, I don't even know, you've got no candles left. You've got no real utility. You're going to have to just drone and just hope that you can win your 1D1s. Try and force D plus out of sight. Force them out of these tucked in positions. 06:10:18.840 --> 06:10:19.340 Yeah. 06:10:21.220 --> 06:10:22.020 It's got all... 06:10:22.260 --> 06:10:22.760 What? Nears? 06:10:22.760 --> 06:10:23.760 That's exactly what you need. 06:10:24.720 --> 06:10:27.680 That's another fat, badly calculated play from Nears. 06:10:27.680 --> 06:10:32.180 Unfortunately that we've captured only the grasses and bring it back to a 33. 06:10:32.680 --> 06:10:34.720 30 seconds on the clock and scars. 06:10:35.720 --> 06:10:38.820 It's still rough from here, but they couldn't block it at patience. 06:10:39.120 --> 06:10:40.820 Oh my goodness, from Wreck. 06:10:41.260 --> 06:10:45.560 He sat waiting at Jacuzzi, hoping they'd forget all about him, and they certainly did. 06:10:45.560 --> 06:10:52.160 Big play from Rex steals the round for Scars. It should have been 5-1, but a massive play 06:10:52.160 --> 06:10:56.160 sees Scars get the second round at the end of the half. 06:11:15.560 --> 06:11:19.560 Yeah, yeah, I got what you need. 06:11:19.560 --> 06:11:26.560 Yeah, under the night sky, I want your eyes so long. 06:11:26.560 --> 06:11:33.560 Don't tell me last now, I always get mad. 06:11:33.560 --> 06:11:35.560 Don't leave me. 06:12:05.560 --> 06:12:07.560 And you will see it 06:12:07.560 --> 06:12:11.560 Oh, I got you wrong 06:12:11.560 --> 06:12:15.560 I got you wrong 06:12:15.560 --> 06:12:19.560 I got you wrong 06:12:19.560 --> 06:12:23.560 I got you wrong 06:12:23.560 --> 06:12:27.560 I know there's nothing wrong 06:12:27.560 --> 06:12:31.560 Get to the stars where you want it all 06:12:31.560 --> 06:12:34.120 Oh, the best stuff you can do 06:12:34.120 --> 06:12:36.660 Don't let the fool you know 06:12:36.660 --> 06:12:38.160 Oh, neah, neah 06:12:38.160 --> 06:12:39.160 How about you? 06:12:39.160 --> 06:12:41.160 Won't you try it? 06:12:41.160 --> 06:12:43.860 Oh, no, it's a nice guy 06:12:43.860 --> 06:12:46.060 I want your eyes 06:12:46.060 --> 06:12:49.160 So hold me in 06:12:49.160 --> 06:12:51.760 Go and tell me your lies 06:12:51.760 --> 06:12:54.160 I always get mine 06:12:54.160 --> 06:12:55.960 And nothing with me 06:12:55.960 --> 06:12:57.960 So do you want it? 06:12:57.960 --> 06:12:59.960 Do you want it? 06:12:59.960 --> 06:13:14.360 All righty, well four to half in the end half of the course for both of these two teams cars getting a 06:13:14.360 --> 06:13:20.600 reprieve courtesy of a big play from Racky just suck outside balcony of jacuzzi for 06:13:21.480 --> 06:13:25.720 I mean a good 40 seconds he just kind of kept himself and just waited and waited until someone 06:13:25.720 --> 06:13:31.800 came to fight it the whole way, really nicely done from Skars to get that last round. Otherwise, 06:13:31.800 --> 06:13:38.360 there was daring down the barrel of a pretty big deficit. Look at the bands, Kaeyid, Mirak, 06:13:38.360 --> 06:13:44.840 Grima, and Thermite. We go basement to begin, and it feels like it's game on now. That was a 06:13:44.840 --> 06:13:48.040 big round needed for Skars and just resets things a little bit. 06:13:48.040 --> 06:13:55.920 Yeah, it certainly helps their cause. 06:13:55.920 --> 06:14:03.360 B plus Ki are just a couple loose moments there, particularly in the last round. 06:14:03.360 --> 06:14:06.400 They'll be looking to tidy up. 06:14:06.400 --> 06:14:10.600 Certainly positive signs though, because cars are being able to punish those opportunities 06:14:10.600 --> 06:14:11.600 and capitalize. 06:14:11.600 --> 06:14:17.040 They're able to have their Ki hitters work inside of the server. 06:14:17.040 --> 06:14:23.460 Basement first up, big investment in terms of Tenari utility interestingly here from 06:14:23.460 --> 06:14:30.860 Skars and so see how impactful that ends up being, hatches will remain closed and despite 06:14:30.860 --> 06:14:36.420 that it seems like there may be an investment offsite with utility with Wreck over towards 06:14:36.420 --> 06:14:42.540 the second floor position so we'll see if that's actually going to persist like I doubt 06:14:42.540 --> 06:14:43.540 it. 06:14:43.540 --> 06:14:50.780 It's always a little tricky sometimes to read the game plan of Scars and how much they 06:14:50.780 --> 06:14:53.320 want to actually commit offsite. 06:14:53.320 --> 06:14:56.100 As for T-Poskea, they have the solid snakes to deal with that. 06:14:56.100 --> 06:15:01.100 They can, for example, unvert the bark as well, and so, I mean, Wreck does have Kettles 06:15:01.100 --> 06:15:05.900 reinforced, so if he commits to this position, it's vivid all in play. 06:15:05.900 --> 06:15:15.760 I don't think you'll fully commit considering the God was shown over the war secret he has 06:15:15.760 --> 06:15:20.740 the ability to go down red stairs and yeah it's pretty much already he's done that. 06:15:20.740 --> 06:15:24.740 Oh yeah five stack down below four scars. 06:15:24.740 --> 06:15:29.940 I'll keep it safe, I'll keep it comfortable, not trying to do anything too tricky and certainly 06:15:29.940 --> 06:15:33.340 from D plus aside they're not going to go for any dirt shenanigans so we should get 06:15:33.340 --> 06:15:38.540 a pretty streamlined default look in Basel Clubhouse. 06:15:38.540 --> 06:15:41.740 Midi on the Bark will open up over towards Bar and Kitchen. 06:15:41.740 --> 06:15:45.660 Another one Nitro Sallow for this Bunker Defense. 06:15:45.660 --> 06:15:49.700 Three Gas Babes from Fish Life will be important later in the round. 06:15:49.700 --> 06:15:51.740 There are options for D-plus Kear as well. 06:15:51.740 --> 06:15:54.540 They can go Hadstrop Potential with the Candela's Blackbeard. 06:15:54.540 --> 06:15:59.060 They can get Nears to push either Down Main or even Blue. 06:15:59.060 --> 06:16:02.380 But I really do like this lineup for D-plus Kear. 06:16:02.380 --> 06:16:07.380 The interesting thing for me will be how does music play the solid snake in this room? 06:16:07.380 --> 06:16:14.380 Yeah, currently maybe drop soil works, could go secret as well. 06:16:14.380 --> 06:16:18.380 I think either would work. 06:16:18.380 --> 06:16:21.380 Red, I'll spot one blue, one dummies. 06:16:21.380 --> 06:16:28.380 That is a pretty easy relay but also equally pretty predictable positions, it's certainly a snake for that. 06:16:28.380 --> 06:16:31.380 and say 60 seconds on the clock, 4 cannelles left 06:16:32.380 --> 06:16:36.380 there's a belt of utile also as well with the grenades and the flashes from the nears and minions respectively 06:16:37.380 --> 06:16:39.380 and first pick, tamuzi 06:16:40.380 --> 06:16:43.380 will that open up the round enough here for D plus Keo? 06:16:43.380 --> 06:16:46.380 yeah, it's always an interesting philosophy with the solid state 06:16:46.380 --> 06:16:49.380 you know they're going to be there, but you just get that guaranteed information 06:16:49.380 --> 06:16:52.380 there is that drop down as well with the blackbeard from the hatch 06:16:52.380 --> 06:16:55.380 nitrocell doesn't really do enough 06:16:55.380 --> 06:16:58.840 Like it does get near as low, but he's still gonna be in a black position now 06:16:58.840 --> 06:17:03.560 You're gonna get up close and personal nice little swing though from washoi to get the kill under the black beard 06:17:03.920 --> 06:17:11.000 Can you get another one? He can headshot lands onto miti and it almost got one more falls wins that battle 06:17:11.160 --> 06:17:13.540 But it does get taken low 3v2 06:17:13.540 --> 06:17:18.140 Let me's got the cross main stairs and then just caught Nina who did not even pay attention 06:17:18.720 --> 06:17:24.480 To his left and his right. He just ran across the hallway through his life away and D plus gear on the attack 06:17:24.480 --> 06:17:30.080 to do now. It's not 06:17:30.080 --> 06:17:34.080 baseman is always, uh, yeah, 06:17:34.080 --> 06:17:37.280 a big positive for any attacking 06:17:37.280 --> 06:17:41.280 team. Big effort. I'm gonna 06:17:41.280 --> 06:17:43.280 seal the deal there. D plus 06:17:43.280 --> 06:17:45.280 key up. Not necessarily the 06:17:45.280 --> 06:17:47.280 seal for the map just yet, but 06:17:47.280 --> 06:17:49.280 it puts them in prime position 06:17:49.280 --> 06:17:51.280 on this first rotation to maybe 06:17:51.280 --> 06:17:53.280 even get themselves in a 06:17:53.280 --> 06:18:00.480 and then really apply the blowtorch to Skars who it feels like are being outmatched slightly at 06:18:00.480 --> 06:18:07.920 the moment and as we as we painted the picture during the map video honestly lair is very very 06:18:07.920 --> 06:18:13.280 scary and i don't really see their fortune changing around dramatically on that second map 06:18:13.280 --> 06:18:18.320 something that's impossible but i really don't see Skars showing more fight on that second map 06:18:18.320 --> 06:18:23.440 compared here to club so we'll see if they can tidy things up now onto the tertiary and then they 06:18:23.440 --> 06:18:29.440 can bring 10 pairs from if it's a quiet. We'll hide the clash this round, try to get value from 06:18:29.440 --> 06:18:32.960 fish like who's actually had a pretty good day today and in terms of numbers overall it's actually 06:18:32.960 --> 06:18:39.040 pretty consistent. I'm in a more consistent band compared to what we would typically see from them 06:18:39.040 --> 06:18:47.040 in terms of that spread. So let's see how it goes on the side of D plus they'll actually bring the 06:18:47.040 --> 06:18:53.900 Carly into play this round and the Mavericks a couple of intrigue interesting pocket picks on this occasion 06:18:54.440 --> 06:18:56.440 If the thing might bend up 06:18:57.480 --> 06:19:00.860 Not bring the Reterra as well on the floor as to help counter these on me 06:19:08.440 --> 06:19:12.920 I'm just kind of undoes a little bit of the good way to close to the first half as well for scars 06:19:12.920 --> 06:19:17.740 It's almost as if it was a five one half. They're back on the back foot now and 06:19:19.040 --> 06:19:23.260 A confidence pill of a two to three plus to get that first attacking round 06:19:27.480 --> 06:19:31.420 I like this like on the clash though very good shield player 06:19:33.200 --> 06:19:37.460 You know you got the one and only nitrous out you're gonna make the most of it and gets nothing from it 06:19:38.120 --> 06:19:40.280 You have to miss early on in the round for stars 06:19:40.280 --> 06:19:47.280 It falls, like what's happening back to work with the blowtorch on the Maverick. 06:19:57.280 --> 06:20:04.280 Sounds like Midi's been able to get pretty good value from the floor this round, lost her terror out and deployed. 06:20:04.280 --> 06:20:10.780 hopefully for his sake hello he's on his main counter yeah I like the side to 06:20:10.780 --> 06:20:15.660 become they're trying to call me in here as a as a counter combo for the double 06:20:15.660 --> 06:20:22.460 punch it could work it's pretty volatile it's not super consistent I'll just try 06:20:22.460 --> 06:20:25.100 and keep the clash at bay for now it's a double suck outside the site as well in 06:20:25.100 --> 06:20:29.380 the meantime they may be in a position of pro about main good swing from me no 06:20:29.380 --> 06:20:37.940 trade yeah that's rid of the Kali his did find a kill on to wreck but I think 06:20:37.940 --> 06:20:42.340 getting into the Kali from that balcony is a good result for scars a little bit 06:20:42.340 --> 06:20:45.620 more for safety blanket as well fish like you kids ready to swim they're 06:20:45.620 --> 06:20:49.780 never getting pressured up top main stairs midi down that was a bit of a 06:20:49.780 --> 06:20:53.620 non-contest for midi and didn't really have a lot of hole behind that nears is 06:20:53.620 --> 06:20:59.340 more so concerned about Jim there's not much you can do though with the 06:20:59.340 --> 06:21:03.340 clash and so far fish lake has been quite a nuisance for the attack of T plus 06:21:03.340 --> 06:21:07.020 Kier. Midi's called his way all the way outside towards jacuzzi and he is 06:21:07.020 --> 06:21:11.740 will step back in towards top main stairs notice this one in logi. Let me 06:21:11.740 --> 06:21:15.420 losing his life to Nina means that for scars now in the best position to win 06:21:15.420 --> 06:21:23.900 this round. So 20 seconds on the clock midi low stranded falls as well buying 06:21:23.900 --> 06:21:27.980 his time outside and I'm so reliant on that kill everyone's a lot jibbered it 06:21:27.980 --> 06:21:33.120 doesn't quite land and Scars have done a good job to hold out this round. 06:21:34.360 --> 06:21:36.840 Falls has made his way into the building and he does find two. 06:21:37.880 --> 06:21:42.000 I'm not going to get too excited as it's forced to go for the plant straight on 06:21:42.000 --> 06:21:46.480 camp. Scars look it out and a better defense there over to what's bedroom. 06:21:46.960 --> 06:21:52.040 Yeah, much better, much better from Scars. And I think again, it's been quite 06:21:52.040 --> 06:21:56.160 competitive. I mean, there's not too much separating these two teams. 06:21:56.160 --> 06:22:09.160 I think D plus at times have shown certainly a couple of weaknesses whether they're over investing or they're getting caught from some aggression from scars and sort of untimely situations where they're maybe not expecting it. 06:22:09.160 --> 06:22:17.160 Music on the balcony just gets completely caught unaware of a potential swing from the bedroom window. 06:22:17.160 --> 06:22:21.960 Well, D plus will know this is not going to be an easy half to close out and they haven't 06:22:21.960 --> 06:22:26.520 really got anyone. Well, there's no one really inside of the server that's ultra dominating 06:22:26.520 --> 06:22:32.560 either. You know, the highest KD is eight kills for me and eight for music. But yeah, 06:22:32.560 --> 06:22:37.720 midi's eight and eight muses eight, five. And then there's also no one under fracking. 06:22:37.720 --> 06:22:43.040 Everyone's had a minimum five kills. Like it is an incredibly even game. When you look 06:22:43.040 --> 06:22:48.200 at these metrics, but it's a fire through the score line so it's just been a 06:22:48.200 --> 06:22:53.360 couple of rounds where maybe scars have not been able to close out or D plus have 06:22:53.360 --> 06:22:57.080 stolen one and that's about it there's not a lot of difference so if your scars 06:22:57.080 --> 06:23:01.880 right now thinking well we're on defense here we play this round out make it 06:23:01.880 --> 06:23:04.840 5-4 we take a band away from them maybe we get rid of the black beard 06:23:04.840 --> 06:23:09.040 force them on to maybe a more passive Monty and we could really still take 06:23:09.040 --> 06:23:15.600 this map. They're in this game well and truly. But it's close enough that Deed plus could 06:23:15.600 --> 06:23:20.320 just run away with it if they just switch on for two rounds and play to their very, very 06:23:20.320 --> 06:23:21.320 best. 06:23:21.320 --> 06:23:36.840 We're slowly probing over towards Pigeon. This is pretty high risk for the smoke to 06:23:36.840 --> 06:23:40.280 He's also been drained out and instead of backing away, he's gonna double down. 06:23:44.280 --> 06:23:49.080 We'll see if that pays off, but there's certainly a risk from him elsewhere. 06:23:49.080 --> 06:23:53.240 Again, Mav in play and Nina with the line-up Nitro. 06:23:53.240 --> 06:23:56.040 We'll see if he's able to make this one count. 06:23:57.880 --> 06:23:59.160 Yeah, bang, perfect. 06:24:00.840 --> 06:24:03.240 That's why we don't really see a whole lot of Mav play these days. 06:24:03.240 --> 06:24:05.080 He's quite vulnerable. 06:24:06.840 --> 06:24:12.840 jump out okay I'm liking this from scars at the moment by D plus Kira 06:24:12.840 --> 06:24:17.880 fighting back midi has been so strong in the frag department today outside of 06:24:17.880 --> 06:24:21.680 his leadership skill qualities as well but he's been it's so impactful in the 06:24:21.680 --> 06:24:27.240 scoreboard is they're taking charge play hard left Nina in the talk is it cleared 06:24:27.240 --> 06:24:36.480 by D plus Kira yes maybe no oh it's got to get that one completely caught knees 06:24:36.480 --> 06:24:42.560 off guard, got the guard break but just couldn't connect the shots enough, Nears gets a little 06:24:42.560 --> 06:24:46.800 bit of a fright but he gets away with his life. In fact Nears don't want to shot though onto Levy. 06:24:46.800 --> 06:24:51.040 Levy just went for the peek but I don't think he was ever prepared to really shoot. 06:24:52.560 --> 06:24:55.280 The scars now on the verge of picking up their fourth round. 06:25:01.120 --> 06:25:06.160 Good shot though from Nears. I don't think Wreck was expecting him to just be holding 06:25:06.160 --> 06:25:11.280 the angle of the gun up. Maybe was expecting the Blackbeard with the shield up. Still a lot of 06:25:11.280 --> 06:25:16.160 time in this round. 50 seconds for a 2v2 and then Nina just catches the side of Nias. The Blackbeard 06:25:16.160 --> 06:25:22.800 goes down. Mitty knows where U-Kizz is but doesn't quite know where Nina is. Gets a bit of an idea 06:25:22.800 --> 06:25:27.920 though with that shot that just rings by. Chapped in the corner. Great headshot onto U-Kizz. 30 06:25:27.920 --> 06:25:36.080 seconds to the 1v1. But Nina repositions beautifully. 5 to 4 as Skars are bringing her back here. 06:25:36.160 --> 06:25:45.800 on Clubhouse. Good work there from Scarz. I was able to just hold on in what was a pretty 06:25:45.800 --> 06:25:55.440 decent clutch attempt. Now trailing by one round 5-4 the score line. Additional bands 06:25:55.440 --> 06:26:01.640 now to come in to play for, yeah, what it shaped up to be a very close competitive Clubhouse 06:26:01.640 --> 06:26:10.280 so far, D-plus Kea unable to run away with it. It's the bandit to accompany the Kaedas, 06:26:10.280 --> 06:26:17.160 Walden, Arbencht, and then the Ying also dealt with back down to basement, which D-plus Kea 06:26:17.160 --> 06:26:30.840 were surprisingly able to win out last attempt. 06:26:30.840 --> 06:26:36.600 It just feels like they got the momentum now, two rounds to the row. 06:26:36.600 --> 06:26:40.200 And what's been working for them is they're happy to play the trade game, they're happy 06:26:40.200 --> 06:26:45.960 to play into the gun skill department against D plus Kier, not overthink things, they're 06:26:45.960 --> 06:26:48.400 Happy to swing, take gunfights. 06:26:49.340 --> 06:26:52.120 The deep waters just need to be a little bit more aware 06:26:52.120 --> 06:26:54.200 of that, a little bit more switched on 06:26:54.200 --> 06:26:57.000 when they're getting close to the site 06:26:57.000 --> 06:26:58.400 that scars like to be active, 06:26:58.400 --> 06:27:00.320 they like to swing, they like to get in your face, 06:27:00.320 --> 06:27:01.520 they're not just gonna sit back, 06:27:01.520 --> 06:27:04.200 play the default defensive positions. 06:27:05.760 --> 06:27:08.600 I say that and last time on this side of the basement, 06:27:08.600 --> 06:27:11.720 they very much did, they just kinda kept it five on site. 06:27:11.720 --> 06:27:14.720 and caution only when the mission calls for it. 06:27:15.720 --> 06:27:20.120 I'm curious to see just how aggressive Wreck will choose to get on the Skopos. 06:27:21.920 --> 06:27:25.020 Sometimes it really is a case of just getting a couple of drones 06:27:25.020 --> 06:27:27.920 and then transfer back, don't have to over invest. 06:27:29.520 --> 06:27:33.680 But the way he's shaping up towards Rafters right now is he'll at least 06:27:34.380 --> 06:27:36.080 deny a little bit of this map space. 06:27:36.080 --> 06:27:42.720 You know, UKIS towards lounge and then Nina's cash, so I mean, that's three players that 06:27:42.720 --> 06:27:45.160 are pretty invested in this area of the map. 06:27:45.160 --> 06:27:49.720 Again, very easy to rotate back down secret and get to site and into position. 06:27:49.720 --> 06:27:54.680 So just because they're there now, it takes about five seconds and they're all back to 06:27:54.680 --> 06:27:55.680 site. 06:27:55.680 --> 06:28:09.840 Well, they're not all back to site. 06:28:09.840 --> 06:28:15.240 And I'll see if Nina's able to have impact over towards Lodgy. 06:28:15.240 --> 06:28:20.120 In a position where if he hits the timing it can be impactful and levee on the snake 06:28:20.120 --> 06:28:21.960 with radars all the way down into basement. 06:28:21.960 --> 06:28:29.000 Nina's position should be pretty unsighted and unheard outside of maybe the logic bomb 06:28:29.000 --> 06:28:36.120 from Nia's which we'll refresh in a moment. This attack is though enclosing over towards 06:28:36.120 --> 06:28:39.480 Blue side midpoint of round. Nia's finds the first. 06:28:41.560 --> 06:28:48.200 And Nina's still Lodgy. And that's a war. Wow. Okay. Well, Levy's very unfortunate to not win 06:28:48.200 --> 06:28:50.800 in that battle what a shot from Vishlak. 06:28:50.800 --> 06:28:54.120 Again, Nina's still lodging and it's a 3v3. 06:28:54.120 --> 06:28:57.040 So they've done all of this without Nina. 06:28:57.040 --> 06:28:59.520 He'll get to go for a late flank, 06:28:59.520 --> 06:29:01.400 but he needs to make sure it's not too late 06:29:01.400 --> 06:29:03.560 because the plant is going down at the moment. 06:29:03.560 --> 06:29:06.600 It looks like it will actually be a successful plant 06:29:06.600 --> 06:29:08.080 and the color was there as well 06:29:08.080 --> 06:29:09.400 to help out falls from kitchen. 06:29:09.400 --> 06:29:11.480 That was Musi with the shots from above. 06:29:11.480 --> 06:29:13.760 He caught Nina as well who was rotating. 06:29:13.760 --> 06:29:15.280 So he was quick to flick around 06:29:15.280 --> 06:29:16.880 and catch him in the hallway. 06:29:16.880 --> 06:29:22.640 to scars. I've given up basement again. That's been the determining factor here on clubhouse. 06:29:22.640 --> 06:29:27.280 Is this basement site that D plus Kia just continued to win and have now got two map 06:29:27.280 --> 06:29:34.000 points? It's going to be a bit appeal to swallow for scars if map two doesn't go their way 06:29:34.000 --> 06:29:39.040 and the determining factor of the first map of club is not being able to successfully 06:29:39.040 --> 06:29:44.640 defend that basement site. Again, it's never a given sites never are in siege, but certainly 06:29:44.640 --> 06:29:48.180 certainly gonna be winning it on at least one occasion if you want to look 06:29:48.180 --> 06:29:55.260 competitive on a map that is bitterly disappointing for them now it's about a 06:29:55.260 --> 06:29:59.580 recovery effort on the on bedroom and then I suppose put them in an awkward 06:29:59.580 --> 06:30:04.740 position if they are going to decide whether to reattempt that or not again 06:30:04.740 --> 06:30:10.860 for context over the last couple weeks basement clubhouse has been 51% in favor 06:30:10.860 --> 06:30:15.120 of attack going pretty much 50-50 across the board. So again you've got to be taking one 06:30:15.120 --> 06:30:19.680 of those home. The fact that D plus K have been able to break it down times. I'm pretty 06:30:19.680 --> 06:30:25.160 convincing on both versions as well, mind you, is I'm going to be frustrating for Scars 06:30:25.160 --> 06:30:27.640 and it could result in a bit of a boil over here. 06:30:27.640 --> 06:30:42.400 The scars have shown the ability to win two rounds in a row back in rounds 8 and 9. 06:30:42.400 --> 06:30:44.320 In bedroom, cash and CCTV. 06:30:44.320 --> 06:30:51.120 I'll have to replicate that now and on arguably those two sites, I just don't see them going 06:30:51.120 --> 06:30:55.720 back to basement for the remainder of this half. 06:30:55.720 --> 06:31:05.800 And it's been a really entertaining match, as I said, it's been very competitive. 06:31:05.800 --> 06:31:09.680 Multiple clutches, a lot of 3Ks apiece. 06:31:09.680 --> 06:31:14.520 Both teams have been able to successfully get at least one plant down, in their respective 06:31:14.520 --> 06:31:19.080 attacking arms. 06:31:19.080 --> 06:31:21.740 This has definitely been one factor though, that Skylar's been pretty good at with an 06:31:21.740 --> 06:31:28.060 nitro-cell usage and the biggest concern is the scars of the opening kill 06:31:28.060 --> 06:31:33.840 department. They've only picked up two opening kills this entire match. 06:31:40.120 --> 06:31:44.960 T-plus also historically have a very high conversion rate when it comes to 06:31:44.960 --> 06:31:51.360 opening kills. I think it's at 92% the last intro I got 06:31:51.360 --> 06:31:58.800 heading to this game for kickoff so very rarely do they lose after finding that opening pick and 06:31:58.800 --> 06:32:07.360 it's been a strength for them in some of these key rounds. Fishlight targeted on the Azami's 06:32:07.360 --> 06:32:15.040 Nina postures for a peek outside. All of this comes down to timing he's being watched from 06:32:15.040 --> 06:32:21.840 Kennells though, D plus Kea are trying their best to be patient. Levy, does he land the shot? 06:32:22.640 --> 06:32:25.520 Can't be too patient for too long though. There's a minute 15 left in the round. 06:32:26.080 --> 06:32:28.480 He's still got a bit of work to do over towards the side as well. 06:32:30.640 --> 06:32:35.600 I mean Levy can sit here as long as the other four are active and you know kind of getting to work 06:32:35.600 --> 06:32:42.560 but man 60 seconds left and it's starting to rotate towards this jacuzzi position Nina. 06:32:42.560 --> 06:32:46.540 I mean Levy can pretty much sit here the whole time. He's going to expect at some point 06:32:46.540 --> 06:32:52.000 Maybe for someone to rotate to that CC window, and he'll be ready for it right gets the kill on to midi 06:32:53.460 --> 06:32:55.400 Let me it's still holding kennels 06:32:55.400 --> 06:32:59.160 He's finally going on up and he'll look to push in from that 06:32:59.360 --> 06:33:02.440 Kettle's position. Oh music wins the battle below against Nina 06:33:03.200 --> 06:33:05.360 Anticipating potential nitrous all up through the hatch 06:33:05.920 --> 06:33:12.120 Big kill from a short low on health inside a bedroom needed that kill for scars heading into the last 30 seconds still time for D 06:33:12.120 --> 06:33:18.200 plus. The one-for-one trade. Lovely vault in though from Muzie. Leads it down to Yuki's 06:33:18.200 --> 06:33:22.920 and there's still time here for Muzie and Falls to navigate the end of this round. 06:33:22.920 --> 06:33:27.560 They want to go for the plant they can. He's cut off towards construction. 06:33:27.560 --> 06:33:31.720 As Falls is navigated over towards Gym now, he'll have to start thinking about the plant. 06:33:31.720 --> 06:33:39.080 Muzie will cover as the smoke dissipates Yuki's at the doorway. Muzie in a great tucked-in position, 06:33:39.080 --> 06:33:45.880 catches him off guard up close and D plus care will steal the map pick of scars. 06:33:45.880 --> 06:33:52.280 A hot and heavy battle on Cloudhouse that it's the Brazilians representing the Korean organization 06:33:52.280 --> 06:33:55.000 that will take the first map. 06:35:09.080 --> 06:35:16.080 I'm a keep it going, I'm a keep it going, I'm a keep it going, I'm a keep it going... 06:35:26.680 --> 06:35:33.680 They've come out windmilling like an Englishman looking for a scrap, a talking of a scrap! 06:35:33.680 --> 06:35:37.520 An Englishman looking for a scrap, the whole king of a scrap, Pino! 06:35:37.520 --> 06:35:40.080 If he goes uncontested, the kicker is called, that'll be devastating. 06:35:40.080 --> 06:35:42.080 And there he goes, here, that's the swing! 06:35:42.080 --> 06:35:47.320 Cyber and Bullet are able to get one apiece with the kick so far away, and Canadian down upstairs. 06:35:47.320 --> 06:35:50.120 Hyper, wow, that was special. 06:35:50.120 --> 06:35:53.880 It's a one, there's this three to hold, and that person is from behind. 06:35:53.880 --> 06:35:56.760 He's found one, he's gotta get the vertical as well, 06:35:56.760 --> 06:35:59.920 they get pulled off, sit, put down to the last three and four seconds, 06:35:59.920 --> 06:36:03.600 Ryder's not a nether! He's held on! He's gonna do it! 06:36:03.600 --> 06:36:06.800 And B is here! Take the 2-1 win! 06:36:06.800 --> 06:36:10.320 Both players spotted, but the Reds can be made 6-0 for him. 06:36:10.320 --> 06:36:12.320 Oh! 06:36:12.320 --> 06:36:15.360 Ryder has the search of information from the Bs! 06:36:15.360 --> 06:36:17.360 It goes in! 06:36:18.880 --> 06:36:21.120 Now he has 7-0 ends! 06:36:21.120 --> 06:36:26.720 They cement themselves as one of the greatest of all time! 06:36:26.720 --> 06:36:30.560 He's starting to get cooked alive only but he's using his stem pistols. Look at this from the dark. 06:36:30.560 --> 06:36:32.560 Surely not. Brilliant! 06:36:32.560 --> 06:36:34.560 Let's play the year in my book. 06:36:34.560 --> 06:36:37.560 He plays the game, hits the old body, doesn't quite catch it. 06:36:37.560 --> 06:36:39.560 Oh my god, Seth! 06:36:39.560 --> 06:36:41.560 He does it after all! 06:36:41.560 --> 06:36:43.560 He's going back. He's not quite sure. 06:36:43.560 --> 06:36:45.560 He's going to go. 06:36:45.560 --> 06:36:47.560 A few seconds stick it, Nass. He'll stick it. 06:36:47.560 --> 06:36:51.560 This is an angle that he might be able to contest. 06:36:51.560 --> 06:36:53.560 No, unfortunately, he takes just a bit of damage here. 06:36:53.560 --> 06:36:56.000 Walker gets the second one. Eclipse though. Wilkhead one. 06:36:56.000 --> 06:36:57.960 Turning it into a 2v2 9-day pushin' on the side. 06:36:57.960 --> 06:36:59.600 The bandit will lose out on this. 06:36:59.600 --> 06:37:01.960 Eclipse the last alive on the Ella. 06:37:01.960 --> 06:37:04.000 Spock the head and take the ace. 06:37:04.000 --> 06:37:06.560 The ace for Walker. 06:37:06.560 --> 06:37:08.000 He will down BC. 06:37:08.000 --> 06:37:09.360 Canadian positioning to kick off, 06:37:09.360 --> 06:37:11.160 but that's gonna result in a double-take. 06:37:11.160 --> 06:37:12.760 Vertical, let's go for it. 06:37:12.760 --> 06:37:13.960 For Havons around. 06:37:13.960 --> 06:37:16.360 Necrox, the final defender against Vertical. 06:37:16.360 --> 06:37:18.760 The ace. Absolute domination. 06:37:18.760 --> 06:37:21.360 I don't believe it's Magic, Michael. 06:37:21.360 --> 06:37:25.360 Team War does as they win the Mexico Major. 06:40:51.360 --> 06:41:08.100 Well, D-plus Kia are one map away from the lower bracket final next week against KineTrope 06:41:08.100 --> 06:41:12.780 as they take the map pick of Skars on Clubhouse and look, it was a hotly contested one a little 06:41:12.780 --> 06:41:14.180 bit back and forth. 06:41:14.180 --> 06:41:18.300 The one dominating factor certainly was the opening kill department, 9-2 in favour of 06:41:18.300 --> 06:41:19.300 D-plus Kia. 06:41:19.300 --> 06:41:24.980 a lot of the rounds there were actually incredibly close and you make the argument that yeah maybe 06:41:24.980 --> 06:41:29.380 on a different day scars could have actually won this map had they just been a maybe a little 06:41:29.380 --> 06:41:33.940 sharper and a little cleaner they kind of just came down to maybe even the first three rounds 06:41:33.940 --> 06:41:38.660 deep shot out of the gates they got out to a three nothing leave from that moment on it was 06:41:38.660 --> 06:41:45.860 back and forth maybe even slightly edging in favorite scars yeah sure i think i largely agree 06:41:45.860 --> 06:41:50.580 with that big determining factor though ended up being that in that second half back-to-back 06:41:50.580 --> 06:41:54.100 basement attacking round wins for D plus Q and you never want to 06:41:54.820 --> 06:41:58.900 filter a win all the way down to just maybe a round or two or a specific side or whatever 06:41:58.900 --> 06:42:03.460 and really did feel like a big difference maker in this matchup with typically the 06:42:03.460 --> 06:42:07.300 standard is for D defense to win at least one of those attempts which are false on 06:42:07.300 --> 06:42:12.180 both occasions and if my memory serves me correctly they were both pretty convincing 06:42:12.180 --> 06:42:18.020 3 players alive with both of those attacks ended up splitting heads in the end 7-4 victory 06:42:18.020 --> 06:42:23.080 and the second map of lair we've pitched it as being very strong, the D plus key and the 06:42:23.080 --> 06:42:28.240 path forward now for scars and their time here in kickoff now looks like it may be 06:42:28.240 --> 06:42:29.240 expiring. 06:42:29.240 --> 06:42:34.920 I mean we'll see and if you can happen going into this map, next map of lair but what we 06:42:34.920 --> 06:42:39.240 do know is it's a map, the D plus have got a lot of history on every single series so 06:42:39.240 --> 06:42:43.960 So far a kickoff, this map has featured for D+, and well they've only lost at once which 06:42:43.960 --> 06:42:50.200 was to CAG, who of course are sitting in the grand final for good reason, they're a quality 06:42:50.200 --> 06:42:54.920 outfit, they counter-strategied D+, well and truly, just because they did, doesn't mean 06:42:54.920 --> 06:42:58.580 SCARS have the ability to do the same as well. 06:42:58.580 --> 06:43:04.720 Big test now for SCARS, they do get to begin on the defense of Lair, which may, may aid 06:43:04.720 --> 06:43:10.880 them. But can you be my enemy? Well, they gave up the 5-1 first half to D plus when D plus 06:43:10.880 --> 06:43:17.520 were on the attack to help us LFO. It was a six nothing on defense. So therefore not even being 06:43:17.520 --> 06:43:26.080 tested on D pluses attack either. So I mean, I think what we're going to look at this is just 06:43:26.080 --> 06:43:30.640 again, will we see the same competitiveness that we saw on clubhouse? It was seven four was closed a 06:43:30.640 --> 06:43:35.600 a bit back and forth. I just need to see that from scars. And if they can string together 06:43:35.600 --> 06:43:38.960 a couple of rounds, you've got to be winning your master and R six is on defense. That 06:43:38.960 --> 06:43:43.760 should be at least two rounds in the bank, win basement, at least once there's three. 06:43:43.760 --> 06:43:47.800 Can you get to that three or four round mark in this first half and you might have a shot 06:43:47.800 --> 06:43:52.800 Attackers need to locate and defuse as many bombs as they can. 06:43:54.800 --> 06:43:59.800 So it's Kai Bandit alongside Grim and Ying to be banned. 06:43:59.800 --> 06:44:03.800 Outs is similarly to CobbHouse. We're going to see the hard breach excel here, 06:44:03.800 --> 06:44:09.800 and then a lot of the late rounds are going to come down to Displacement and Clearing Utility, etc. 06:44:09.800 --> 06:44:15.800 Top Floor especially. We're going to see how Ducos Quizz endgame is tested with both the smoke 06:44:15.800 --> 06:44:21.960 both the smoke and the Tachanka up default plants are a rarity. They certainly come in a premium, 06:44:21.960 --> 06:44:27.080 they have to typically work very hard to kill at least one of the smoke of the Tachanka and 06:44:27.880 --> 06:44:32.280 typically that's going to be very, very hard. So we'll see how they go about approaching this site. 06:44:33.560 --> 06:44:37.480 The inclusion of the Zofia is quite intriguing and I do wonder if that's for some kind of 06:44:37.480 --> 06:44:40.680 additional utility influence in combination with the Ash. 06:44:40.680 --> 06:44:51.760 for the side of defense for scars. Again, I'm somewhat concerned about their depth here 06:44:51.760 --> 06:44:57.440 on this map of lead. Do they have what it takes to bite back in this series? And we've 06:44:57.440 --> 06:45:03.240 only seen them play this map once, and that started dating all the way back to October 06:45:03.240 --> 06:45:10.240 last year. It was just the one appearance. I haven't banned it themselves though, typically 06:45:10.240 --> 06:45:18.240 band against them. So, we'll see. That last result of course was three weeks ago. 06:45:18.240 --> 06:45:25.240 Comfort of win over fear axe? How much do you want to put into that way and see? It was a 70 victory. 06:45:25.240 --> 06:45:28.240 And now we're looking to replicate something similar here today. 06:45:28.240 --> 06:45:43.200 and it's all on the line as well for scars now as they come into this map you know the 06:45:43.200 --> 06:45:49.600 pressure is is going to be high they're a really good organization good team this is 06:45:49.600 --> 06:45:57.280 the big test though they would maybe feel as if the unit could be gettable and that 06:45:57.280 --> 06:46:01.600 was a 2-1 series where they lost it last time, but it was a close series, so they made me 06:46:01.600 --> 06:46:06.240 feel as if we can just get past D plus that spot in the grand final and we know we could 06:46:06.240 --> 06:46:13.160 catch CAG on one of their bad days. So far, proving to get past D plus proves to be tricky 06:46:13.160 --> 06:46:15.840 for Krek with the open kill on Teneirz. 06:46:15.840 --> 06:46:20.040 I think that's the third. I don't want to negatively highlight too much, but Teneirz 06:46:20.040 --> 06:46:24.680 has had some very, very poor moments over the course of this series today. I don't know 06:46:24.680 --> 06:46:29.080 what's going on. Some strange, strange moments that I play that typically Ashley is very, 06:46:29.080 --> 06:46:33.600 very good. Maybe just sensing that someone has to make a bit of a Hail Mary play. Somebody 06:46:33.600 --> 06:46:36.440 needs to try and find an opening. We don't really have enough going elsewhere. So he 06:46:36.440 --> 06:46:38.160 kind of steps up and says, all right, I'll take one. 06:46:38.160 --> 06:46:41.200 I mean, he's, he's probably won on entry. I wouldn't be too happy. 06:46:41.200 --> 06:46:44.760 His entry has been, his entry has been okay, but there's also been about three, four moments 06:46:44.760 --> 06:46:49.200 where he's done some of the worst plays we've seen inside the seven today. So I don't know 06:46:49.200 --> 06:46:50.200 what's going on there. 06:46:50.200 --> 06:46:55.840 doesn't help when it's not like this but falls will make up for it by getting rid of 06:46:55.840 --> 06:46:59.600 wreck and they're straight into master now they can actually push in the shumiko 06:46:59.600 --> 06:47:05.000 launchers to try and block off the push from mezzanine with delay a little bit 06:47:05.000 --> 06:47:08.960 the falls can continue to push forward and now the path is open up but the 06:47:08.960 --> 06:47:13.600 right side angle was still there for the defense falls gets another one he's 06:47:13.600 --> 06:47:17.240 only got midi left for company but midi is a great player to have in terms of 06:47:17.240 --> 06:47:24.760 still being alive and you kids will shut down the rampaging falls and maybe has 10 seconds to find 06:47:24.760 --> 06:47:29.800 three lovely little pre-fire check swing from Nina and scars were on the board as they take master 06:47:29.800 --> 06:47:37.320 and r6 yeah better clear overall there kick started by finding the opener and allowing the sneak 06:47:37.320 --> 06:47:42.520 in through sight from the Zofia eventually the pressure did begin to compound a little bit from 06:47:42.520 --> 06:47:46.600 the exterior breach but again I had enough Utah that they could play off as pretty straightforward 06:47:47.240 --> 06:47:54.720 They would hit the scoreboard and they'll be pretty pleased with opening their account, but again hot-float defense 06:47:55.000 --> 06:47:57.000 you want to be 06:47:57.680 --> 06:48:01.180 Closing that round out naturally anyway, and that's a specific site 06:48:02.160 --> 06:48:05.000 Now as we go down below for round number two scope post 06:48:05.800 --> 06:48:11.460 Intriguing addition here. So you kids is being given the license to probably work around on that first floor position then can 06:48:11.460 --> 06:48:16.060 and pivot back onto the second shell on site. 06:48:16.060 --> 06:48:18.420 And then in terms of that on site hold, 06:48:18.420 --> 06:48:23.060 it's actually very trap slash stall heavy. 06:48:23.060 --> 06:48:26.780 When you have the Denari and the Goyo combination, 06:48:26.780 --> 06:48:28.700 that can stall out and waste quite a bit of time 06:48:28.700 --> 06:48:30.580 in utility, have Washui as well, 06:48:30.580 --> 06:48:35.260 who may play the Yokois actively as well to an extent, 06:48:35.260 --> 06:48:37.660 and then can have a couple of position 06:48:37.660 --> 06:48:39.260 double load basement as well. 06:48:39.260 --> 06:48:44.360 And then in combination with the smoke as well, this is a lot of good story on offer here from Skars. 06:48:44.360 --> 06:48:47.960 D plus on the flip side, they'll be looking to exploit map clearance. 06:48:47.960 --> 06:48:51.460 They've got the Daemons and the Blitz to facilitate that. 06:48:51.460 --> 06:48:56.560 And then maybe late round they can try to cook out something unique here, the Rayora in play. 06:48:57.560 --> 06:49:01.760 I've seen limited Rayora today, I'll probably anticipate it a little bit more. 06:49:01.760 --> 06:49:07.760 But I think teams are gonna have to probably have a bit more time with her to really exploit her new state. 06:49:09.260 --> 06:49:25.420 I mean, I really do like this lineup for scars so they can just bank on the fact that D plus 06:49:25.420 --> 06:49:30.860 will take a little too long on their clear above, you know, get down to basement with 06:49:30.860 --> 06:49:35.740 maybe 30, 40 seconds for the execute, but then you got to deal with gas babes, you know, 06:49:35.740 --> 06:49:38.460 gokais, have you cleared all the vaults and canisters, 06:49:38.460 --> 06:49:41.340 tripwire connectors, and it's actually really smart from Rek. 06:49:41.340 --> 06:49:44.860 He's kept two of them in pocket because he knows it's going to take a while for the clear. 06:49:45.340 --> 06:49:49.340 They want to give them up freely and then place them late in the round that they're still going to be active. 06:49:50.700 --> 06:49:54.460 And so they place them in the right positions as to where D-Post are going to be attacking from. 06:49:55.660 --> 06:49:59.340 Comes with that, the risk of course, if he dies won't they don't get used but 06:50:01.020 --> 06:50:05.020 you're not really ever going to be in a position where if you're pretty much sitting basement here 06:50:05.020 --> 06:50:09.540 here on lead to die. 06:50:09.540 --> 06:50:13.020 Finally Sacken's in the round and I think so far Skars will be very happy with the way 06:50:13.020 --> 06:50:15.020 this round's playing out. 06:50:15.020 --> 06:50:18.020 This would be going to their plan. 06:50:18.020 --> 06:50:25.660 Well, Rektor's first blood midi falls. 06:50:25.660 --> 06:50:30.700 That's back to back opening kills for Skars. 06:50:30.700 --> 06:50:32.020 Successful conversion last round. 06:50:32.020 --> 06:50:34.060 They'll be looking to find the same here. 06:50:34.060 --> 06:50:37.560 Yuki's are still above the second full flank position. 06:50:42.560 --> 06:50:48.860 So if he's able to make this count, could find a timing. 06:50:50.360 --> 06:50:52.560 Oh, he's going to get one here. Oh, it's being watched. 06:50:54.560 --> 06:50:55.060 Four. 06:50:55.160 --> 06:50:57.560 Levy just kind of hesitated on that swing a little bit. 06:50:57.560 --> 06:51:00.560 If he had it just fully committed, I think he gets that kill onto Yuki. 06:51:00.560 --> 06:51:10.560 Yuki's can transfer if he wants, but I think he may actually just enjoy the fact that he can actually push him from behind. 06:51:12.560 --> 06:51:18.560 30 seconds left and the push coming through down from D plus Kier, 4v4. Yuki's still on that first floor. 06:51:18.560 --> 06:51:20.560 Levy as well over to Watt's Armory. 06:51:20.560 --> 06:51:25.560 Muzi can't quite hit the headshot onto Nina. Yuki does go down to Levy, so he wins the battle towards Armory. 06:51:25.560 --> 06:51:30.180 Plank are down from falls, they lose music, plant will be successful, the yokai a little 06:51:30.180 --> 06:51:35.800 bit delayed, the falls has been downed close by to the kit, nearsome levy vs Nina and washoi. 06:51:35.800 --> 06:51:41.920 We're trying to find some information with the yokai, Nina watching above of course that's 06:51:41.920 --> 06:51:45.680 where both nears and levy are located on that first floor. 06:51:45.680 --> 06:51:47.920 You've got to go for the retake and do so quickly. 06:51:47.920 --> 06:51:49.920 They haven't really done that. 06:51:49.920 --> 06:51:53.480 They've taken way too long trying to find information so they'll play the low percentage 06:51:53.480 --> 06:51:55.480 of sickage at the log cover. 06:51:55.480 --> 06:52:01.440 Levy will win his battle against Nina and then get the second on to a show is D plus Kia are on the board 06:52:03.200 --> 06:52:06.560 Yeah, I mean really solid attack from D plus Kia 06:52:06.560 --> 06:52:10.040 But you have to kind of make the question that you the yokai burst too late 06:52:10.040 --> 06:52:14.160 And if that tonight's plant we saw that falls went down pretty quickly thereafter 06:52:14.200 --> 06:52:19.460 There would have been a whole different round and then the hesitation in the post plant by not going for the retake up above 06:52:19.640 --> 06:52:23.720 Yeah, I think the order of my rotation that round again 06:52:23.720 --> 06:52:25.720 Yeah, more small margins, but it was a little bit off 06:52:26.880 --> 06:52:31.160 You heard the end of that yo guys who picked up falls down on the ground and then Nina was low 06:52:31.160 --> 06:52:35.560 So he's hesitating and we'll show you made the call or find info. I had the time again 06:52:35.560 --> 06:52:37.560 I think you just send them up above the Nina place bait 06:52:37.560 --> 06:52:39.720 We're sure you can try and trade it back to a 1v1 and then 06:52:40.800 --> 06:52:42.800 You take the coin flip at that point, but 06:52:43.680 --> 06:52:46.400 That wasn't because not meant to be D plus Kia 06:52:47.760 --> 06:52:50.600 He would grind their way through round number two 06:52:50.600 --> 06:52:57.520 And now it's time for the tertiary over the walls doors, which can sometimes be a defining factor as to how this much 06:52:57.720 --> 06:52:59.720 Or how this math rather can play up 06:53:05.080 --> 06:53:07.080 Attackers have discovered the location of a bomb 06:53:08.480 --> 06:53:09.880 I 06:53:09.880 --> 06:53:12.120 Think you keep played that well on the scope also 06:53:12.120 --> 06:53:17.960 It's a it's a very fun operator in terms of the decision-making that you have as a team and certainly as the operator, but 06:53:17.960 --> 06:53:23.500 You know, it's kind of like, well, he didn't get cleared, he's left up a bar so he can 06:53:23.500 --> 06:53:27.420 play the pinch, but then if they do try to clear him, it wastes time and they don't get 06:53:27.420 --> 06:53:30.900 the kill, he can then transfer back down below, so it's kind of a dammed if you do, dammed 06:53:30.900 --> 06:53:36.420 if you don't, if played right, you know, if you're unable to get the kill, or if you're 06:53:36.420 --> 06:53:41.420 unable to watch the flank, but they ended up watching the flank, that was the difference, 06:53:41.420 --> 06:53:45.180 and that's kind of what halted him from having impact in that round, and then Levy wins the 06:53:45.180 --> 06:53:46.180 1v1. 06:53:46.180 --> 06:53:52.080 Big Nitro from wreck that's three straight opening kills from wreck by the way all three of his kills have been opening 06:53:52.440 --> 06:53:57.000 And then nothing thereafter and it's on to music music being shot down here 06:53:57.600 --> 06:54:03.820 To begin on layer. We know how good he's been as a player since joining this roster. He's not been able to get going 06:54:16.180 --> 06:54:22.300 Not your soul? 06:54:22.300 --> 06:54:28.980 What, that's unfortunate for Levy, that one has had quite the range on it there. 06:54:28.980 --> 06:54:35.340 I'm sorry, this attack is a full upon entirely for D-PUS key, which is a big, big boost for 06:54:35.340 --> 06:54:41.060 scars on this site unless there's a fight back on offer, maybe it does. 06:54:41.060 --> 06:54:43.580 Isolate with Shui. 06:54:43.580 --> 06:54:49.440 3-1 split control above for the defense, D-plus key with these U2 belt can't go direct, the 06:54:49.440 --> 06:54:56.680 divert will shred them and they need to clear second floor and so they will commit, need 06:54:56.680 --> 06:55:05.100 to leverage the blackfield here, okay, ooh clean shot, betrayed 2-2 and getting rid of 06:55:05.100 --> 06:55:10.720 the race of them shell too as well, not bad in that little moment, still a minute, so 06:55:10.720 --> 06:55:14.960 Amidium falls one they can kind of dictate the last 60 seconds 06:55:15.320 --> 06:55:20.560 Try and find some information for Stina and fish like down below. I 06:55:21.880 --> 06:55:28.040 Think if you possibly can't can you get the two on one pinch on one of these two defenders now 06:55:28.040 --> 06:55:31.660 That's gonna be the goal whether it be first floor site whether that be second interesting 06:55:31.660 --> 06:55:32.560 Need has gone back up 06:55:32.560 --> 06:55:36.800 So they're gonna try and play the denial where D plus actually gonna try and see if they can get the plant down 06:55:36.800 --> 06:55:41.760 And the wink on here for D plus is really if you can just successfully get that plant down keep two players up 06:55:42.160 --> 06:55:46.420 Probably go on and win this round because it falls the scars there and have to play into the drop and 06:55:47.140 --> 06:55:48.140 So far 06:55:48.140 --> 06:55:52.460 You know and and I was gonna say I thought I gave them maybe the plant 06:55:52.460 --> 06:55:55.220 But it just got tonight at the last second Mini will capture 06:55:55.220 --> 06:56:00.220 He's got 20 seconds will go for a rotate away and fish last gonna hope he can deny from above 06:56:00.820 --> 06:56:03.060 Me trying to play mind games one fake 06:56:03.740 --> 06:56:05.740 Can fish like find the angle easy 06:56:06.800 --> 06:56:12.240 It gets off it again. Flash does nothing into the warden glasses, which have been activated. It does 06:56:12.240 --> 06:56:15.920 just kind of maybe disorientate him in terms of where meeting is planting in terms of sound cue, 06:56:15.920 --> 06:56:21.600 but fish like does not get disorientated plays that perfectly. And there was so little time remaining. 06:56:21.600 --> 06:56:26.560 I think I'm going to be honest. Mini's probably overcooked that ever so slightly. You can tell 06:56:26.560 --> 06:56:31.920 what he's trying to do. And he's doing a great job. But just one of the earlier points you've 06:56:31.920 --> 06:56:38.800 you gotta commit. Left it too late. Yeah, I think he's end goal was there to try and 06:56:38.800 --> 06:56:44.520 force the draw up at least on the first few attempts, but fish like remain composed, didn't 06:56:44.520 --> 06:56:50.600 fall into that trap. And so scars, straw came down to one versus one, but a lot of the groundwork 06:56:50.600 --> 06:56:55.160 there on the tertiary side was actually pretty clean in dealing with the early portion of 06:56:55.160 --> 06:56:57.960 that push music fall first, let me follow it on repel. 06:56:57.960 --> 06:57:03.400 Delivered the Blackbeard pretty well at this point of the round, minute 20 remaining. 06:57:03.400 --> 06:57:06.080 And then Midi. 06:57:06.080 --> 06:57:11.800 He's absolutely hardest to force Fish-like down, and well, Fish-like eventually did take 06:57:11.800 --> 06:57:12.800 the bait. 06:57:12.800 --> 06:57:20.320 But he was able to quite easily get that final kill and win the round for Scars. 06:57:20.320 --> 06:57:24.720 That's the first rotation complete to Chanker. 06:57:24.720 --> 06:57:28.640 out alongside Daemur so that opens up the default site now a little more for the attack 06:57:29.360 --> 06:57:32.640 then we'll see if D plus Kier and find success this time around 06:57:39.440 --> 06:57:44.000 either way it's been a good start for stars compared to the opening two rounds in clubhouse 06:57:44.000 --> 06:57:49.920 where they gave up the first three rounds to D plus Kier but they were attacking in that first 06:57:49.920 --> 06:57:54.000 half on club and they're defending here on layer so it's hard to really use it as a full 06:57:54.000 --> 06:58:00.160 comparison point, but so I think starting defense here on land was always going to be really big 06:58:00.160 --> 06:58:09.120 for them just to get off to a good start, get some rounds on the board. Borschti plus to have to 06:58:09.120 --> 06:58:13.600 really think their way through this first half. Now D-plus probably only need the two attacking 06:58:13.600 --> 06:58:20.160 rounds if we're being honest, but so far again the competitiveness of scars that we saw on 06:58:20.160 --> 06:58:26.800 clubhouse is certainly translated into Lair as well they've been very good three from three in 06:58:26.800 --> 06:58:32.240 terms of opening kills as well all from wreck there he is on picture 06:58:32.240 --> 06:58:54.040 So I'm up to control now for D plus Kia again expectation being a fully and default with 06:58:54.040 --> 06:58:58.920 the Tachanka ban that's the most logical game plan in the meantime Moosey has got a 06:58:58.920 --> 06:59:04.520 foot hold main stairs as well somewhat conscious of the flank but as we can see 06:59:04.520 --> 06:59:08.440 it's all second floor for Skars 06:59:11.160 --> 06:59:16.280 patience at the moment you can see the plan here with D plus key maybe try and 06:59:16.280 --> 06:59:22.200 debate the flank attempt in from the defense but Skars not biting just yet 06:59:22.200 --> 06:59:27.920 Nina did drop below security so keep that in mind if he can make his move at the 06:59:27.920 --> 06:59:31.440 right time it could be devastating but if D plus key are disciplined on flank watch then 06:59:32.320 --> 06:59:34.560 it's difficult to see him having much of an impact. 06:59:36.560 --> 06:59:40.240 I'm ticking though and I think for Skylar that's probably their best wing condition at this point 06:59:40.240 --> 06:59:46.960 but there's Racky does get caught. That's four from four in the opening in Gatron's but the bad 06:59:46.960 --> 06:59:52.240 news is this time it was an opening death. Core opens up now mezz control is there for D plus 06:59:52.240 --> 06:59:56.400 key up they can start to kind of keep Skylar towards the back of the site or what is what should 06:59:56.400 --> 07:00:01.240 We're doing funnily enough. It's news that gets to free being it's those kind of moments that news has had at times 07:00:01.240 --> 07:00:06.340 This time is on the right side of it and now it's a must they can get the plant down force the gas babes out nice and early 07:00:06.340 --> 07:00:11.660 Reposition from falls your kids does get one onto midi, but the plant will be successful. So it's irrelevant 07:00:11.680 --> 07:00:18.720 Yeah, you're in a 3v4 post plant retake the casp a little too late from fish Lake. It's already down and the timer goes yellow 07:00:19.240 --> 07:00:25.560 And it does have the nitrocell over towards blue stands now through armory, but that time is ticking scars get to get on the move 07:00:25.560 --> 07:00:34.520 Time is ticking. Big disadvantage and levy. Puts off you, kids. There's no way. 07:00:34.520 --> 07:00:39.440 This guy's gonna be able to win this round. Flames on the Fuse off-prone position for Nears. 07:00:39.440 --> 07:00:44.680 Big round from Nears. Holy. Yeah, he really turned it on. I think it may have been our 07:00:44.680 --> 07:00:48.320 falls that I caught out previously. I definitely was actually talking about Nears in terms of 07:00:48.320 --> 07:00:52.880 some of the weird moments that he's had over the course of this series, but the big positive. 07:00:52.880 --> 07:00:58.040 No, you definitely said nears. Okay, there you go. All right, so I definitely did mistake earlier 07:00:58.880 --> 07:01:01.880 I was right. He's a strange moments today 07:01:03.280 --> 07:01:05.480 But that one's strange for all the right reasons 07:01:06.040 --> 07:01:10.240 Yeah, I think a couple of strange moments here or there but largely has been very very good 07:01:10.680 --> 07:01:13.960 Outside of those strange moments and we saw that back in clubhouse 07:01:15.160 --> 07:01:22.180 It would with 5-1 on the on the entries and I think that's just kind of where his game is being is like on the line 07:01:22.180 --> 07:01:26.400 Where it's like it can be great when it's great and when it's bad. It looks quite bad 07:01:26.400 --> 07:01:32.880 But I think sometimes you want that on the team and just because you can get rounds like that from this huge huge round 07:01:34.760 --> 07:01:41.400 And especially on that top floor like just getting that pick on direct gets rid of the Azami and who's playing that more 07:01:41.960 --> 07:01:44.800 Forward space is one of the most important roles on that site 07:01:45.240 --> 07:01:50.280 You're just kind of blocking off that mezzed doorway position. You get a little bit of vision over towards mask 07:01:50.280 --> 07:01:57.760 And as soon as you get that pick everyone else on the defense is just so far back and can't really then deny the plant from going down 07:02:01.760 --> 07:02:08.560 Well, there's the two rounds for deep plus here on the attack of lair already acquired be helping hand from nears with the four kills 07:02:10.360 --> 07:02:12.860 And now they get kind of two free punches here at scars 07:02:16.840 --> 07:02:18.840 Yes, so 07:02:18.840 --> 07:02:26.760 I think D plus cable feel like they're in a good position at the moment, but I don't want to convert this 07:02:31.160 --> 07:02:33.560 There's a bit of a lock-in cheer over towards weapons side 07:02:35.320 --> 07:02:39.880 Quickly try and get control and open up hatches with second cart bridge and he will 07:02:40.840 --> 07:02:42.440 do just that 07:02:42.440 --> 07:02:44.440 as for the defense, it's a 07:02:44.440 --> 07:02:51.920 4-1 split, the Scopos left to his own devices, that's Yuuki's top small storage hall, and 07:02:51.920 --> 07:03:01.400 the rest of that defense down towards the basement. 07:03:01.400 --> 07:03:06.280 And the more and more the D-plus can put scoreboard pressure on scars, the more likely they'll 07:03:06.280 --> 07:03:10.640 eventually just kind of fall with so much on the line. 07:03:10.640 --> 07:03:13.840 Interesting return just to force Fish like a little bit back up the stairs, but his gas 07:03:13.840 --> 07:03:21.920 was still active. We're sure it would be the one to watch in the Echo this time. Last time 07:03:21.920 --> 07:03:29.640 out just wasn't able to get the Yokai burst, you know, used in time and the plant was successful, 07:03:29.640 --> 07:03:38.240 but they did still win the round. Sorry, 3 plus 1 the round because of that. And it's 07:03:38.240 --> 07:03:55.240 that gets the opening kill. Falls, battling very nicely against Bish Lake. That's not an easy fight to win when you're going up against a smoke who's playing the close angle with the shotgun. Even if you are on the blitz, you've got to make sure you hit that flash perfectly, pull the pistol out, time it all. 07:03:55.240 --> 07:03:58.380 It's a wonderful kill from falls. It's been very good this series 07:03:58.900 --> 07:04:04.220 60 seconds to play advantage for T plus but wreck gets involved. He's been their best so far on layer and 07:04:04.860 --> 07:04:06.860 Just then okay 07:04:06.860 --> 07:04:12.500 Back to a winnable position still for scars needed that one before they eventually would have got flooded and outnumbered 07:04:14.140 --> 07:04:16.140 They're 45 falls of kit 07:04:16.940 --> 07:04:21.100 Filtration site here bit of it now being established by D plus 07:04:21.100 --> 07:04:28.740 flash layering as well falls will likely just go to the total plant immediately in the doorway 07:04:28.740 --> 07:04:36.540 impacts are waiting for rep this is a big moment if he can land this you can't see anything though 07:04:36.540 --> 07:04:43.180 just desperately throws out an impact and hope and pray again no success from the echo plant 07:04:43.180 --> 07:04:48.940 will be successful big kill though on to music to clear out his position you kiss up close hollow 07:04:48.940 --> 07:04:51.300 It's the blitz, but it's a bit of help from washoi 07:04:52.260 --> 07:04:54.620 That's some lovely cover and scars 07:04:55.420 --> 07:05:01.580 Need to get the next two kills quickly and we're back in his position again with you kids and washoi not going up above 07:05:01.580 --> 07:05:07.380 We're sure it this time though actually figured it out. We have to clear above you kids to stay below 07:05:07.380 --> 07:05:11.460 He gets caught in the hallway and that's gonna be it. They didn't learn from last time guys 07:05:14.500 --> 07:05:16.500 No 07:05:16.500 --> 07:05:24.500 Like it's always tough. I actually think that regardless that they probably lose that D plus key had really actually really strong angles and positions 07:05:24.500 --> 07:05:30.500 They're up above in anticipation. Like they're ready. I'm waiting. They're like guys, right? You're not gonna put it down below 07:05:30.500 --> 07:05:34.500 You're gonna come up and fight us and I'll do it. There's a bit of a half cooked effort there from scars 07:05:34.500 --> 07:05:42.740 from Skars and so D plus Kia again they win out down below a basement they've 07:05:42.740 --> 07:05:45.780 they've ticked off the one of two attempts on Master like this has been a 07:05:45.780 --> 07:05:49.140 strong attacking half from them at the moment even from some of these 07:05:49.140 --> 07:05:52.820 challenging positions they're still fighting win-cons and they're still 07:05:52.820 --> 07:05:58.980 finding plants as well which I think they should be commended for and ever 07:05:58.980 --> 07:06:03.620 since trucks come off that Hito in terms of the OP kill metric of course 07:06:03.620 --> 07:06:10.620 firstly rounds went his way. Maybe that's just disrupting the star's structure a little 07:06:10.740 --> 07:06:17.740 bit and it's beginning to reflect that if there's a word in which D plus gear can top 07:06:18.060 --> 07:06:22.540 this off with a top four win, they are in such a commanding position. 07:06:22.540 --> 07:06:27.380 I mean I think they're in a good position. You win this round, go full two in the second 07:06:27.380 --> 07:06:31.820 half, switch into defense, yeah commanding position well and truly. This is the must 07:06:31.820 --> 07:06:36.620 win round now for Skars. It backs up against the wall, cannot allow D-plus Kier to get 07:06:36.620 --> 07:06:40.340 a two round advantage heading into their own defensive half where they've been very, very 07:06:40.340 --> 07:06:48.460 good on this map. And what's interesting as well is D-plus Kier winning this half and 07:06:48.460 --> 07:06:53.180 Musi still hasn't found the kill. He's gotten a couple of assists, he's been active, but 07:06:53.180 --> 07:06:57.660 yeah, he's been one of their best players since joining this roster and hasn't found 07:06:57.660 --> 07:07:03.180 kill yet they're still beating out scars who are getting quite a bit from wreck and everon is 07:07:03.180 --> 07:07:10.380 performing at a pretty similar level fish legs had some good moments and scars were two one up 07:07:10.380 --> 07:07:18.220 and de plus have now just gone back to background wins his nears we'll just kind of look at fish 07:07:18.220 --> 07:07:35.920 like for a little bit. And so if you like will retreat with the 07:07:35.920 --> 07:07:40.020 uh calculate decision if he hangs around too much longer he's susceptible to quite a lot 07:07:40.020 --> 07:07:44.080 of utility from the attack and he's better served having the the shield 07:07:44.080 --> 07:07:53.400 available late round. Love you in the meantime, he's got control bathroom. In the face of 07:07:53.400 --> 07:07:58.860 the clash though, it's tricky for him to make progress without assistance also. So he'll 07:07:58.860 --> 07:08:05.280 just posture for now. I think we're just established. I'm intrigued in his choice of position here 07:08:05.280 --> 07:08:10.320 on the Goliaths. He could lay a utility and actually try and unlock this position by pushing 07:08:10.320 --> 07:08:15.880 forward through the smokes. We don't even hold the cross a little more passively in 07:08:15.880 --> 07:08:20.480 terms of plantar here. It doesn't feel like it was here too far away from 07:08:20.480 --> 07:08:25.800 tempting plan or at least drawing out utilities. We've got three gas babes up and nitro, so it 07:08:25.800 --> 07:08:31.440 shouldn't be a straightforward plan. So final minute of the half. 07:08:31.440 --> 07:08:36.200 He's like doing his best dancing around on the flash. Wreck gets the opening kill and he 07:08:36.200 --> 07:08:41.240 gets a second as well to double down the advantage. He's probably been their best 07:08:41.240 --> 07:08:44.320 and certainly most impactful in this art for scars. 07:08:44.320 --> 07:08:50.640 Now, Dillers' Nina. Deepest kiss. They'll need to get past this clash, but Levy allowed 07:08:50.640 --> 07:08:54.400 to swing in and get the kill on to Wreck. Not much that Nina could, sorry, not much 07:08:54.400 --> 07:08:58.760 that Fishlight could do to really help. He needed to keep the shield up, and full steps 07:08:58.760 --> 07:09:03.680 in towards Mask gives it a little bit of a look. He gets downed. They can get this revived. 07:09:03.680 --> 07:09:08.800 huge nitro though from washoi and that should solidify the round. 07:09:08.800 --> 07:09:13.640 Musi, yet to find a kill this half can he get at least one on the board slips in towards 07:09:13.640 --> 07:09:18.840 mask expecting that fish like will maybe peek it but fish like is composed he doesn't need 07:09:18.840 --> 07:09:21.360 to go past that shield. 07:09:21.360 --> 07:09:26.360 Skars will tie it up at the half it will be three to three but is that going to be enough 07:09:26.360 --> 07:09:28.840 for them heading into the second half? 07:09:28.840 --> 07:09:37.420 music desperately desperately searching for his first he won't find it all tied at the half three to three 07:09:37.420 --> 07:09:40.740 D plus will go defense after the Raw Swap timeout 07:11:28.840 --> 07:11:56.840 the 07:11:56.840 --> 07:12:04.280 on a winning notes, but it's going to be difficult times ahead. De Plasco defense, they're four 07:12:04.280 --> 07:12:08.440 rounds away from progressing to the lower bracket final as the bands come through its 07:12:08.440 --> 07:12:16.600 Monty Grimm, Kaid and Bandit. And Bung's briefing first off. I was wondering where you were going 07:12:16.600 --> 07:12:22.520 with that and then I spotted the objective. Yeah, I mean, not the most absurd selection ever. 07:12:22.520 --> 07:12:27.920 and deep boss care maybe trying to just catch scars off kilt her a little bit 07:12:27.920 --> 07:12:32.480 without having the opportunity elsewhere in the sort of the free punch maybe 07:12:32.480 --> 07:12:35.360 that top floor can deliver sometimes for the attack to sort of just get into a 07:12:35.360 --> 07:12:38.320 little bit of the swing of things you kind of get thrown into the deep end 07:12:38.320 --> 07:12:43.600 where you need to deliver here first attack straight off the reel 07:12:43.960 --> 07:12:48.800 we'll see how our scars look to approach it what kind of operators they want to 07:12:48.800 --> 07:12:53.720 the bands of course to note Monty Grimm, Kai Bandit, so leaves up the 07:12:53.720 --> 07:12:57.860 capital which is initially selected, we probably might see some sense play here 07:12:57.860 --> 07:13:03.320 from Skars, really just depending on what kind of approach they want to go for 07:13:03.320 --> 07:13:07.640 themselves. They've definitely got some good joins, one in particular actually 07:13:07.640 --> 07:13:12.880 inside of Briefing, so they have that read and they've changed their ops as a 07:13:12.880 --> 07:13:16.240 result. The sense in play gridlock as well for me to find quite a trip above in 07:13:16.240 --> 07:13:18.240 in combination with the Nomad as well. 07:13:32.880 --> 07:13:38.240 A real statement for Skars would be probably winning Top Floor, so maybe there's a sense 07:13:38.240 --> 07:13:43.760 of let's not give them that opportunity to get off to a good start, one for one trade, 07:13:43.760 --> 07:13:47.600 Most importantly though, it's the uh, what's the high brief for the clash? 07:13:50.780 --> 07:13:54.020 I'd say you'd probably want the clash a little bit more and 07:13:54.260 --> 07:13:58.400 Here's is it being impactful, but yeah loses his life early on in this round 07:13:59.520 --> 07:14:04.720 Fish like himself has also been you know, very prominent force guards. That's a big loss for them 07:14:04.720 --> 07:14:06.720 So we'll play out the rest of this round 4v4 07:14:13.760 --> 07:14:21.040 We'll see how many issues they encounter without that hard breach, I don't think it's 07:14:21.040 --> 07:14:22.040 the end of the world. 07:14:22.040 --> 07:14:28.340 The rest of the patch is probably going to be more of a relief for Skars. 07:14:28.340 --> 07:14:32.960 Midi down below giving us some really good info as to Nina's position currently on that 07:14:32.960 --> 07:14:36.120 repellent of some of the U2 that's being deployed up above. 07:14:36.120 --> 07:14:41.240 Meanwhile, on site, Lennon will lock that down and Midi's rotated down below Barrels 07:14:41.240 --> 07:14:42.880 as we saw him previously. 07:14:42.880 --> 07:14:45.880 It leaves just the two above of Muzi Falls. 07:14:45.880 --> 07:14:51.880 Have a pretty key role in contesting up above and forcing the more direct hit here from the attack. 07:14:51.880 --> 07:14:57.880 As Levy, a sole player on the site, has been able to let the advantage for D-plus kill. 07:15:03.880 --> 07:15:07.880 And just as much as it would have been bigger, stars could have come in first round on the attack, win at top floor. 07:15:07.880 --> 07:15:12.600 floor well it's pretty big at d-plus can go and straight up win bent bunks briefing to start the 07:15:12.600 --> 07:15:16.280 half and then you probably go top four after this and you could be standing down five three and 07:15:17.240 --> 07:15:22.760 that's a long way back then for scars and let me take a bit of contact towards bunks is going to 07:15:22.760 --> 07:15:30.520 get flamed out by Nina who's got no flame bolts left and see the area is gone but he does still 07:15:30.520 --> 07:15:32.520 have the smokes. 07:15:32.520 --> 07:15:38.840 Pregnades for you kids, flashes for Vashoy, they still have an air jam, track stingers, 07:15:38.840 --> 07:15:39.840 but 30 seconds. 07:15:39.840 --> 07:15:43.520 A lot of this utility now isn't going to help them except for the smokes from Nino. 07:15:43.520 --> 07:15:48.360 It's probably just banking on the fact, layer the smokes, dump a couple of flashes, go for 07:15:48.360 --> 07:15:49.360 the plant. 07:15:49.360 --> 07:15:53.360 Layers the smokes, doesn't go for the plant. 07:15:53.360 --> 07:15:57.120 And he hits the handshot onto Midi. 07:15:57.120 --> 07:15:58.120 There's a pile. 07:15:58.120 --> 07:16:00.120 Interesting, actually. 07:16:00.400 --> 07:16:03.960 Everybody doesn't feel like he, well, he probably didn't feel like he could get the plant. 07:16:04.360 --> 07:16:08.960 No, not the board. The thing is now you have to. Oh, let me not expect it. Double n triple drop! 07:16:09.280 --> 07:16:15.120 Wow, Skars will take Bunk's briefing. I was a strange old round. 07:16:15.920 --> 07:16:19.360 I mean credit to Skars though, because if he had to just run into Wardsite, 07:16:19.360 --> 07:16:23.920 and if they didn't put pressure on that top floor, they probably don't get that plant down. 07:16:23.920 --> 07:16:27.160 So they know that they have to go clear above. Even though he's got kit, 07:16:27.160 --> 07:16:32.480 He still wants to add extra bodies to that and then you can always just drop go plant last second 07:16:32.480 --> 07:16:34.480 That's a really well worked around for scars 07:16:35.440 --> 07:16:40.640 Yeah, it looks a bit goofy, but it was actually pretty well thought out going for plant directly there and 07:16:41.400 --> 07:16:46.080 Having maybe a low percent chance of winning the fights above leaves you very vulnerable to the warden 07:16:46.080 --> 07:16:51.760 And so by flooding above then going for the the triple drop down below 07:16:52.480 --> 07:16:56.520 Sure, it looked a little weird, but some yeah actually really really well 07:16:57.160 --> 07:17:03.680 It also helps though, I guess in the positioning sense of Levy at the end, if he's actually 07:17:03.680 --> 07:17:10.040 in a position where he can maybe get that first kill, tuck in high, there's only seven, 07:17:10.040 --> 07:17:11.800 eight seconds left. 07:17:11.800 --> 07:17:14.880 Maybe it could have played out a little differently, but because technically he was out in the 07:17:14.880 --> 07:17:20.760 open from where the hatch was, a lot easier for them to just get that triple drop to work. 07:17:20.760 --> 07:17:23.200 Longest briefing goes to my scars. They take the lead 07:17:23.700 --> 07:17:30.320 Here on where and attacking round to kickstart the second half top floor will be a different beast altogether 07:17:31.040 --> 07:17:36.320 But you can see from just their cameras alone how much it meant to them is all wreck pumped up 07:17:37.200 --> 07:17:39.760 So they do get that opening attack round 07:17:40.600 --> 07:17:42.980 Just get themselves a good confidence booster 07:17:50.760 --> 07:17:57.760 It was the tertiary side of the show, so there's a dash of jokes over that round, but yeah, 07:17:57.760 --> 07:18:02.080 clearly the overall strategy for D plus Q in terms of selecting that side hasn't quite 07:18:02.080 --> 07:18:03.080 paid off. 07:18:03.080 --> 07:18:08.320 I do wonder if D plus could go on tilt if they lose this round, this one right here. 07:18:08.320 --> 07:18:13.120 5-3 down, things aren't working out, they'll probably call time out. 07:18:13.120 --> 07:18:16.560 While they're not on the ropes, I do think on the ropes, potentially they're being 07:18:16.560 --> 07:18:20.000 tilted and that could affect them going forward. 07:18:20.000 --> 07:18:23.560 You can see in the camera reactions in the previous round, a couple of players kind of 07:18:23.560 --> 07:18:27.520 threw in the head back a little bit, it's like, oh my god, how did they get that one? 07:18:27.520 --> 07:18:30.400 And there's been a couple of rounds like that from Skars too. 07:18:30.400 --> 07:18:41.880 I think I may have mentioned that in the earlier portion of the day, maybe that if you get 07:18:41.880 --> 07:18:44.920 the impression, at least from what we see body language wise, etc., that D-Block are 07:18:44.920 --> 07:18:48.800 pretty momentum based and that goes strongly both ways when they're up and about, they're 07:18:48.800 --> 07:18:54.640 playing well. They're very happy and that confidence serves them well but equally. 07:18:54.640 --> 07:18:57.500 When things start to get a little frustrating sometimes it looks like they 07:18:57.500 --> 07:19:02.520 do go a bit quiet inside of the server and that's something we saw in Cyclops 07:19:02.520 --> 07:19:08.200 game. And I'll be hoping that they don't fall victim to that here in this matchup 07:19:08.200 --> 07:19:14.080 as Falls finds the first. He's going for a cross country dirty outside as 07:19:14.080 --> 07:19:17.440 Levy finds one in the meantime and unfortunately for Scarves this round 07:19:17.440 --> 07:19:20.880 has essentially already fallen apart in the first two minutes. 07:19:20.880 --> 07:19:24.480 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's the one site though, where you can probably say it's acceptable 07:19:24.480 --> 07:19:28.320 for it to fall apart and you don't, and you probably don't get a lot of success. 07:19:28.320 --> 07:19:33.360 Not that they'll give up on the round. Still, if you can find the next two kills, it's back on. 07:19:33.360 --> 07:19:38.400 I'll have to do so quickly. Do you still have some decent utility? There's a couple of smokes. 07:19:38.400 --> 07:19:42.320 Got the incendiary. You got a death mark for I grenade. If you kids can maybe do something here 07:19:42.320 --> 07:19:45.920 from the first floor, this will be another death mark going out onto the mirror. 07:19:45.920 --> 07:19:48.320 Oh, Muzie, who by the way, gets to find a kill. 07:19:50.840 --> 07:19:53.960 Gaspay thrown out from midi. They do still have the Nitro from falls. 07:19:57.240 --> 07:19:59.080 So far, one to forget for Muzie. 07:20:01.160 --> 07:20:02.520 Oh, that's the opportunity. 07:20:02.520 --> 07:20:04.080 Niaz just goes wide peeking. 07:20:04.080 --> 07:20:07.840 I don't know why he just walks into the middle of the room and swings that. 07:20:07.840 --> 07:20:10.160 You can just hold, wait for them to flood in. 07:20:10.160 --> 07:20:23.360 and then falls, and the round is done. Musi gets a second at the end of it as well. D-plus 07:20:23.360 --> 07:20:29.080 gear tied up for four comfortably in the end, able to defend the top floor. 07:20:29.080 --> 07:20:38.960 Yeah, but it'll look down pretty, uh, concisely in the end, some big plays early in the round, 07:20:38.960 --> 07:20:44.480 ultimately working out nicely there for D plus Kee up and so the school now sits 07:20:44.480 --> 07:20:51.320 for a piece as we enter the ninth round basement will be the site of choice 07:20:51.320 --> 07:20:59.780 again this is a match that's so tricky at the moment to call either way this 07:20:59.780 --> 07:21:04.080 first rotation thrown off a little bit by the initial site selection D plus 07:21:04.080 --> 07:21:07.400 Kee right towards dorms that didn't pay off but they've been able to respond 07:21:07.400 --> 07:21:12.400 nicely top-floor basing another opportunity for them to reclaim the lead. 07:21:18.400 --> 07:21:25.400 So the tight one here 4-4, SCARs fighting to stay alive and kick off D-plus, just want to get this one done. 07:21:25.400 --> 07:21:29.400 Looked their place into next week's finals, I guess. 07:21:29.400 --> 07:21:34.400 Lower bracket against KineTrope awaits and then a grand final against CAG. 07:21:37.400 --> 07:21:44.760 Levy's been magnificent so far on let 12 and 4. 07:21:44.760 --> 07:21:51.000 It's been a very even spread performance across the two maps from both teams. 07:21:51.000 --> 07:21:54.920 The highest kill leader is at 16 kills, which is Rakan Niers. 07:21:54.920 --> 07:21:59.040 7 and 2 on the entry for Niers as well. 07:21:59.040 --> 07:22:03.280 I mean, I know Niers has certainly had some goofy moments, even actually one in the previous 07:22:03.280 --> 07:22:05.480 round with the wide swing on site. 07:22:05.480 --> 07:22:08.080 But he has statistically been the best player in the server 07:22:19.520 --> 07:22:21.520 Rec with the basement workers 07:22:22.760 --> 07:22:26.200 Not your bomb available now for you kids if they want to get some information 07:22:27.320 --> 07:22:32.760 Need to be mindful of the EDDs placed by nears as many days a big chunk of damage thing 07:22:32.760 --> 07:22:35.760 I think that was from Washoi or maybe U-Piece. 07:22:40.760 --> 07:22:42.760 A bit of a question in this lineup though for Skars. 07:22:42.760 --> 07:22:45.760 The DokkaVity Ash, the Snake, the Blackbeard to help. 07:22:48.760 --> 07:22:53.760 A lot of Traputility in this round as well for D-Plus is kind of the perfect counter. 07:22:57.760 --> 07:22:58.760 Emphasis on a lot. 07:23:02.760 --> 07:23:10.200 Looks like they'll shape up for a horizontal creep and then he'll stay above for now. 07:23:10.200 --> 07:23:19.640 A couple of targets still potentially await him on this first floor. 07:23:19.640 --> 07:23:23.480 Skars will drone forward further deeper in towards the objective, Nina. 07:23:23.480 --> 07:23:28.080 I still get to use his radar here to confirm the positions of any one above, but the logic 07:23:28.080 --> 07:23:32.000 bomb might give him a sound cue to play off. 07:23:32.000 --> 07:23:36.060 Here's them to the right, can he land the shot? 07:23:36.060 --> 07:23:39.560 Oh, he's being watched. 07:23:39.560 --> 07:23:41.060 Oh, he is. 07:23:41.060 --> 07:23:44.060 Oh, and he shoots the body for good measure. 07:23:44.060 --> 07:23:47.060 I think he's putting your face on the body there. 07:23:47.060 --> 07:23:51.060 Being critical of some of his sloppy moments, he's been really... 07:23:51.060 --> 07:23:56.060 Hey, like you said, he's also had some very good moments, so it's one of the other. 07:23:56.060 --> 07:23:59.860 40 seconds of the round, by the way, as the time has just completely dwindled away from 07:23:59.860 --> 07:24:03.340 scars and then they've lost Nina now it's just gonna have to be a flood into 07:24:03.340 --> 07:24:10.300 sight through basement direct Rex gonna lead the charge he's just kind of 07:24:10.300 --> 07:24:14.020 also been forced back his D plus a plan the hiding game there they've got three 07:24:14.020 --> 07:24:18.060 on this first floor so if scars do go fully direct here getting this plant 07:24:18.060 --> 07:24:21.940 down is not gonna be easy and they're coming in very late and you still got to 07:24:21.940 --> 07:24:27.020 do with falls and music playing the site directly heading into red time this is 07:24:27.020 --> 07:24:29.020 very, very late for scars. 07:24:29.520 --> 07:24:34.680 Wreck is just sitting and hoping he can catch some of these defenders that will be looking to come in horizontally. 07:24:34.680 --> 07:24:38.120 Plant going down and it looks like it will be successful from Fish Lake. 07:24:38.120 --> 07:24:41.600 It will be a post plant and they got the kill on to Midi. Big battle here. 07:24:41.600 --> 07:24:45.160 Let me win against U-Kiss. We'll get the quick revival on to Nears. 07:24:45.320 --> 07:24:47.560 Now, of course, they've already got players on this first floor. 07:24:47.560 --> 07:24:52.420 So you've got a little bit of the vert control, but you do need to get some bodies in the site itself. 07:24:52.420 --> 07:24:58.740 This now becomes very winnable for scars wreck more worried about the vert falls able to swing 07:24:58.740 --> 07:25:05.780 And now they get the next shot as well 1v2 against the black bit of fish like and it's music for a distance 07:25:06.300 --> 07:25:08.980 The man who couldn't buy a kill in the first half 07:25:09.940 --> 07:25:15.860 Clotches up in the ninth round as deep lost here make it too straight and go take the lead five to four 07:25:15.860 --> 07:25:21.380 Well, that was an impressive retake. What a string of shots landing there for D plus 07:25:21.380 --> 07:25:26.860 key on most of them at a medium long range. Didn't really miss a beat there. 07:25:26.860 --> 07:25:32.260 A little chaotic, especially with the lurk over towards first floor lobby that was being 07:25:32.260 --> 07:25:38.060 employed there by Skars, but they were able to find the kill, hit the rez, 07:25:38.060 --> 07:25:43.260 transition that into what's sight some really good comms, especially with like the drop slash 07:25:43.260 --> 07:25:47.580 swing combination that we saw from Falls, a good example of that, and then swiftly dealt with the 07:25:47.580 --> 07:25:52.620 Blackbeard. If that first initial shot doesn't land, there may be a world of which Scars could 07:25:52.620 --> 07:25:55.900 actually play for time there in the post with the Blackbeard even in the 1v2, so... 07:25:58.940 --> 07:26:03.980 Nice. Little run of form for T-plus key of 5 for the Skullline. 07:26:06.860 --> 07:26:10.380 They get one step closer towards knocking out Scars. 07:26:13.260 --> 07:26:20.260 Two more rounds needed for D-plus kill. 07:26:26.960 --> 07:26:31.940 And again, one of the strengths of D-plus kill have been the opening kills for them. 07:26:31.940 --> 07:26:33.660 We brought up the statistic earlier. 07:26:33.660 --> 07:26:39.820 It was the first three rounds, when we called back, it was Wreck that was able to get the 07:26:39.820 --> 07:26:44.220 The first air-opening kills and scars were 2-1 off that. 07:26:44.220 --> 07:26:51.020 And then Wreck got a fourth one later on to close the first half, which they converted on that. 07:26:51.020 --> 07:26:58.620 So they only failed to convert on one open kill round for scars, but they just haven't got enough of them. 07:26:58.620 --> 07:27:02.320 That's kind of being the issue. They're not really getting these early advantages now. 07:27:02.320 --> 07:27:05.720 It's been five out of last six rounds. 07:27:05.720 --> 07:27:10.880 D plus have gotten these early advantages so long behold in the five out of last six rounds that one 07:27:11.840 --> 07:27:14.520 Well the vast majority of the rounds and now take the lead 07:27:19.700 --> 07:27:24.580 Do or die now for scars every round from here must win super critical 07:27:26.880 --> 07:27:28.880 We started Bunk's briefing 07:27:29.040 --> 07:27:33.280 To kickstart this second half, which was a strange decision by D plus didn't pay off 07:27:33.280 --> 07:27:36.540 They lost it to scars and scars will now get a second go at it 07:27:36.860 --> 07:27:40.260 See if they can win it again and tie this up 5-5 if they don't 07:27:41.960 --> 07:27:43.960 Up floor unlocks after this round 07:27:49.100 --> 07:27:53.360 Two minutes on the clock and scars need to step it up here 07:27:54.840 --> 07:27:59.280 Top floor clear first on the agenda trying to flush out those above defense 07:28:03.280 --> 07:28:07.100 It's a 2-2-1 split. So two top floor currently for D plus Keo. 07:28:08.440 --> 07:28:15.360 Muzie and Nia's first floor medieval work at barrels that seemingly in a position that he likes. We've seen that previously from him. 07:28:16.200 --> 07:28:19.720 From it is she being able to really information then being in a position of flank late as well. 07:28:22.520 --> 07:28:24.520 Also in a very 07:28:24.960 --> 07:28:27.440 progressive position over the woods skydrages. Wow. 07:28:28.560 --> 07:28:30.560 The Fuki's contests 07:28:30.560 --> 07:28:36.060 I'm to levee and they'll kind of court in all good spots. Regardless those cars will take this control. 07:28:36.060 --> 07:28:40.060 Seemingly undeterred. 70 seconds now remain. 07:28:40.060 --> 07:28:44.060 Right, watching the flank over towards lobby. Again, there needs to be a mouth of Skybridge. 07:28:44.060 --> 07:28:47.060 Falls is still in that position. 07:28:48.060 --> 07:28:55.060 I think D-Boss K are probably going to play for the Colots back onto the second floor, if time permits. 07:28:55.060 --> 07:29:02.060 And for Scarves, they're trying their best to flush out the objective and set up this plan. 07:29:08.060 --> 07:29:14.060 Oh, Midi does deny the plan. He gets traded immediately, but the job done, and now it's forcing us into action. 07:29:14.060 --> 07:29:19.060 Picks it up inside of the smoke, which will begin to dissipate shortly, but they're winning battles elsewhere. 07:29:19.060 --> 07:29:24.520 elsewhere courtesy of fish like it's a night kill there from nears and that 07:29:24.520 --> 07:29:28.560 means that for scars they're gonna go down and get this kid 20 seconds at 07:29:28.560 --> 07:29:34.840 least one has to drop maybe even both have to go down to take on nears and 07:29:34.840 --> 07:29:39.000 musi especially with a clash still up 10 seconds this is dual die right now for 07:29:39.000 --> 07:29:42.280 scars you've got to be quick in your decision-making at this point you got to 07:29:42.280 --> 07:29:45.800 go for the kills there's only six seconds left I'll look for a last second 07:29:45.800 --> 07:29:50.520 dropped in three seconds literally on the last second and music shots wrecked out this third time 07:29:51.160 --> 07:29:54.280 It's now matching series point to D plus here 07:29:56.680 --> 07:30:03.000 Wow, they've done a really good job in sustaining a lot of pressure in that round they they looked in control 07:30:04.200 --> 07:30:08.440 And for scars that time really coming back to bite them 07:30:09.400 --> 07:30:13.480 And now their backs are well and truly up against the wall 07:30:14.120 --> 07:30:15.640 It's gonna be tough 07:30:15.640 --> 07:30:21.360 tactical timeout called by stars in the last ditched attempt to stay alive here in kickoff. 07:30:21.360 --> 07:30:29.080 Yeah, I mean they've had opportunities and it's been competitive. At the very least, 07:30:29.080 --> 07:30:33.720 I think I said pre-match, I know we had a couple of delays, I can't even remember at what point 07:30:33.720 --> 07:30:40.000 we actually had pre-match discussions, but it needs to be competitive. You can't just get 07:30:40.000 --> 07:30:44.880 absolutely smashed here by D+, if you lose it, it's got to be close. And at the very least for 07:30:44.880 --> 07:30:48.400 of them, you know, the takeaway is it has been close. It has been competitive. 07:30:48.400 --> 07:30:52.520 Deep plus have had to fight for this. And that's good signs moving forward for the 07:30:52.520 --> 07:30:56.080 rest of the year for this guy's roster. The bad news is, though, you're now facing 07:30:56.080 --> 07:31:01.000 elimination from kickoff. It's going to be, you know, essentially a fourth place 07:31:01.000 --> 07:31:07.560 finish, which means you're, you know, behind Kina Troat, which is maybe not ideal. 07:31:08.240 --> 07:31:12.240 It's just a reality, the bracket and the way things shaped up. I mean, scars had 07:31:12.240 --> 07:31:18.040 their their chance they could have beaten kinnich open that upper bracket semi-final they won the first map in that all the way back then 07:31:19.040 --> 07:31:25.480 They so they had an opportunity to have a maybe at least minimum secure top three still being alive, but 07:31:26.160 --> 07:31:30.860 Two rounds straight needed to try and force overtime to then try and force cafe 07:31:32.720 --> 07:31:34.440 Out of the time out 07:31:34.440 --> 07:31:37.880 But into the top floor. That's now the concern 07:31:37.880 --> 07:31:43.680 for Scars. They've not been able to win top floor. They only had the one crack at it, but 07:31:43.680 --> 07:31:48.780 it was a pretty clean defense for D plus here. They had the four players alive. Falls got 07:31:48.780 --> 07:31:52.500 the opening kill on the Wachoi and from there, everything just fell apart for the attack 07:31:52.500 --> 07:31:59.960 of Scars. But outside of that site, outside of this site, two alive in there, in there, 07:31:59.960 --> 07:32:04.320 win on Bunk's Briefing, two alive, two alive in the other two losses, basement and Bunk's 07:32:04.320 --> 07:32:11.320 briefing. Again, the competitive this has been there for scars. 07:32:18.280 --> 07:32:21.400 I need the first kill or they probably lose this site. 07:32:21.400 --> 07:32:28.400 Taking into account the statistics for D-Plus but also this site. 07:32:34.320 --> 07:32:41.160 I was there, another gear to be found here for Skars or are they going to peter out? 07:32:41.160 --> 07:32:46.560 D plus Kav looked the better of the two so far today but Skars have showed some pretty 07:32:46.560 --> 07:32:48.880 good resilience here on there so far. 07:32:48.880 --> 07:32:55.600 I've got the right tools to deal with the lineup here from the defence which is very 07:32:55.600 --> 07:32:56.600 util heavy. 07:32:56.600 --> 07:32:58.600 Yeah, Malusie 07:32:58.600 --> 07:33:03.080 The Azami and the castle you kids has to prioritize that utility correctly 07:33:03.800 --> 07:33:05.800 And it's so much he can do and there's a 07:33:06.000 --> 07:33:10.480 lack of explosives also as well a couple gone sixes, but still it's gonna be a 07:33:11.320 --> 07:33:18.080 net negative for the attack in terms of what they can and can't actually clear and so that utility could certainly come into play later 07:33:18.080 --> 07:33:22.160 It's also a plethora of pop while so there's shortage of 07:33:23.080 --> 07:33:25.080 Utah level stall at this push of late round 07:33:26.600 --> 07:33:33.840 midpoint and Skar's still peppering around fish like with control over to 07:33:33.840 --> 07:33:38.720 what skybridge and Nina in ops that's bad yet at the moment 07:33:40.560 --> 07:33:44.360 it's concerned for me there's the timing I mean I'm also around six will play 07:33:44.360 --> 07:33:47.240 slow naturally but the one round that they've won in this half was the opening 07:33:47.240 --> 07:33:50.760 kill of the two and a half inner mark that was against them but it just meant 07:33:50.760 --> 07:33:54.200 that the action kind of floated a little earlier since then it's just been all 07:33:54.200 --> 07:34:00.020 a minute and below or Nina he's desperately searching desperately trying 07:34:00.020 --> 07:34:03.260 to find that kill they're on to midi barbed wire just keeps him at bay as 07:34:03.260 --> 07:34:07.300 midi can hold the close angle at the corner levy with a drive by a shot 07:34:07.300 --> 07:34:12.060 we're short now very very low still has for Ken dollars down the last 50 seconds 07:34:12.060 --> 07:34:19.700 of the round here the flashes Ken we're sure find value of his army continues to 07:34:19.700 --> 07:34:26.420 to stall him out. Now just over 30 seconds remain, Gen D plus Kea hold on and lock out 07:34:26.420 --> 07:34:27.420 the series. 07:34:27.420 --> 07:34:31.260 We've got the two smokes as well from W'shoi that are going to have to be thrown out along 07:34:31.260 --> 07:34:35.900 with these Gendellas to help facilitate for Wreck. They need to try and combine together, 07:34:35.900 --> 07:34:39.340 get that glass into a power position. W'shoi is just going to send it, forget about the 07:34:39.340 --> 07:34:44.540 smokes. He just got a shotgun mode and picks up the pace and with a bit of help as well 07:34:44.540 --> 07:34:49.020 from Fishlight they got the first two kills in the round. But the response is swift from 07:34:49.020 --> 07:34:54.500 D plus Kia and low on time you need the kills because now Nina needs to get the kit down 07:34:54.500 --> 07:35:00.540 he's by himself it's a 1v1 but as the time expires Musi will get the freest of kills 07:35:00.540 --> 07:35:05.740 surely but he's slow to react he'll get off the plant he might get a chance it's over 07:35:05.740 --> 07:35:12.540 Musi clutches it up Nina had one chance one shot and he couldn't land it D plus Kia will 07:35:12.540 --> 07:35:18.540 move forward to the lower bracket final next week on that quest for the major 07:35:18.540 --> 07:35:26.340 spot it's still alive the scars their time in kickoff comes to an end 07:35:26.860 --> 07:35:31.700 really impressive start from D plus Kia throughout the course of the day they 07:35:31.700 --> 07:35:35.660 lick their wounds after that loss against Cyclops in the upper bracket 07:35:35.660 --> 07:35:40.020 send me to respond firstly against Hopperfeller phone and backing it up 07:35:40.020 --> 07:35:48.660 against Scarb with another comprehensive performance and I still can't help but shake the feeling that they might be the team. 07:35:48.660 --> 07:35:53.300 There is that possibility that they can make this run count in the Lollabrackup. 07:35:53.940 --> 07:35:55.940 And it's another team 07:35:56.100 --> 07:36:02.980 guys that we've had throughout kickoff where they've had to play the two best of threes in a given day and they've won both of them. 07:36:03.540 --> 07:36:08.340 It's the warm-up versus fatigue factor that again the warm-up seems to be 07:36:10.020 --> 07:36:16.420 the one side that comes out on top. You've got to take into account it's D plus Kier, they're a strong team, 07:36:16.420 --> 07:36:20.740 and certainly would have come in as favorites regardless having played that earlier series, 07:36:20.740 --> 07:36:24.740 but it's still a very, very long day for these guys. We're talking about an eight hour long day, 07:36:25.300 --> 07:36:31.620 and you can see what it meant to them after that win against Skars. They'll take on Kierna Trope gaming 07:36:31.620 --> 07:36:35.380 next week in the lower bracket final, and they'll have to do back to back best threes again 07:36:35.380 --> 07:36:39.440 to win that one and then win the grand final too. 07:36:39.440 --> 07:36:41.480 But they'd rather be in that position 07:36:41.480 --> 07:36:44.220 than be in Skars position who have been knocked out. 07:36:44.220 --> 07:36:45.840 For middle ball from Skars, 07:36:45.840 --> 07:36:48.980 certainly as I've kind of reiterated a few times, 07:36:48.980 --> 07:36:50.860 competitive and I thought you wanted from Skars. 07:36:50.860 --> 07:36:53.520 You didn't want this to be a one-sided affair. 07:36:53.520 --> 07:36:56.520 And at least for their case, they went down fighting. 07:36:56.520 --> 07:36:57.360 Yeah, for sure. 07:36:57.360 --> 07:37:01.060 I think naturally they're going to be very disappointed. 07:37:01.060 --> 07:37:03.860 I think they probably viewed kickoff as a real opportunity 07:37:03.860 --> 07:37:09.780 to start reclaiming a little bit of form and unfortunately it didn't quite go their way 07:37:09.780 --> 07:37:10.780 right? 07:37:10.780 --> 07:37:15.060 Losing to Kinatrop set themselves up for this low bracket position where it looked very 07:37:15.060 --> 07:37:20.380 likely that D plus was an eventual opponent after that CAG result and so they probably 07:37:20.380 --> 07:37:25.940 looked at this match as a real opportunity to take down what is arguably one of the top 07:37:25.940 --> 07:37:30.660 two teams I suppose that are currently in APN and they fall short of the mark so Fiskars 07:37:30.660 --> 07:37:35.940 about picking themselves back up for stage one. Yeah, I think for D plus care, though, 07:37:35.940 --> 07:37:39.900 they know for a while, they should be making the grand final. Kinectro should be just the 07:37:39.900 --> 07:37:45.180 team that's in their way. They'll respect them. They'll put the work in and they'll 07:37:45.180 --> 07:37:50.020 know that Kinectro have had a good kickoff stage so far. But really, it's at the very 07:37:50.020 --> 07:37:54.500 least for the likes of, I think just two teams in this APAC, North region in C, G and D plus 07:37:54.500 --> 07:38:00.460 care. It's grand final minimum because only one of them can actually go to the grand final, 07:38:00.460 --> 07:38:04.700 So at least grand final minimum has to be for both of those two 07:38:05.020 --> 07:38:09.720 We'll go to out MVP for the day which ends up being music now 07:38:09.780 --> 07:38:15.660 The way this works is kind of just based on the three series matchups that we had you pick an MVP 07:38:15.820 --> 07:38:18.900 Across the three of those and he's performance earlier today 07:38:19.500 --> 07:38:26.180 Against helpers other though, maybe not so much the series that we just had but in that series he walks away as the MVP 07:38:26.940 --> 07:38:28.940 Yeah, it's pretty solid across the board 07:38:28.940 --> 07:38:37.520 He was only narrowly edged out by falls in terms of full APS in that matchup, but I mean certainly probably had some higher impact moments 07:38:38.940 --> 07:38:44.100 18-9 KD 1-1 entry and across the board was just really clean and consistent, which is kind of what you want 07:38:44.620 --> 07:38:47.500 This play right here for me is probably one of the better of the day 07:38:47.500 --> 07:38:49.460 But he was able to withstand the pressure of the black bin 07:38:49.460 --> 07:38:55.100 This is quite early in the series where they plus key were then able to go on and sort of establish a little bit of dominance in that regard 07:38:55.100 --> 07:38:59.100 So they're credit-taking, put-outting, shallow levels are too indifferent, though. 07:38:59.100 --> 07:39:04.100 Yeah, again, it was kind of one of those series where there were a couple of players in contingent, 07:39:04.100 --> 07:39:07.100 but MVP, for instance, right? Like, Fallen wasn't far behind, yeah. 07:39:07.100 --> 07:39:10.100 Two Clutches, a plant, a disable in that series as well. 07:39:10.100 --> 07:39:14.100 So, yeah, you could kind of roll the dice a little bit between a couple of them, 07:39:14.100 --> 07:39:19.100 because they're from D plus K, but a good highlight of a player and a team by extension 07:39:19.100 --> 07:39:21.100 that kickstarted momentum. 07:39:21.100 --> 07:39:24.540 The start was strong in that series and then there were kind of the better factors of having 07:39:24.540 --> 07:39:27.980 two best of three's in the day where they were never confident, they were sharp, they 07:39:27.980 --> 07:39:31.340 were ready to go and then that translated across to the Scars match as well. 07:39:31.340 --> 07:39:32.340 Yeah, 100%. 07:39:32.340 --> 07:39:36.620 I think that his addition to this roster has been a solid one. 07:39:36.620 --> 07:39:39.900 Loss of bullet, who I think is a really good player as well, doesn't help but you bring 07:39:39.900 --> 07:39:43.100 in someone with a lot of experience and certainly a lot of quality. 07:39:43.100 --> 07:39:46.180 Maybe it wasn't that he's very, very best against Scars, certainly on Lair where I 07:39:46.180 --> 07:39:50.260 think he started 0-6, but once he got going, well, no surprise to me, plus Kib were able 07:39:50.260 --> 07:39:55.620 close it out and book their place in the lower bracket final guys what a day though for APL kickoff 07:39:55.620 --> 07:40:00.260 APAC North here on the Friday and all it does is kick off the weekend ahead as well so i'm looking 07:40:00.260 --> 07:40:05.940 forward to some more action to come if it's anything like today uh once you get down to the tail end 07:40:05.940 --> 07:40:11.060 of the tournament you get some really fun games with a lot on the line we saw that and again 07:40:11.060 --> 07:40:15.460 unfortunate for scars but it was just a little bit better we'll go to the bracket as we shape up 07:40:15.460 --> 07:40:22.180 where we sit now going into what will be next week's last week, our last day for kickoff APAC North. 07:40:22.180 --> 07:40:26.580 CAG, they sit in the grand final spot after beating Kinetrope earlier today. 07:40:26.580 --> 07:40:31.220 D-plus Kia continue their run in the low bracket, defeating Helper Sella Foe, 07:40:31.220 --> 07:40:35.860 and then defeating Scars. Now they book their place in the low final against Kinetrope next weekend. 07:40:36.420 --> 07:40:43.140 Yeah, it very much feels to me like the most likely outcome is a D-plus Kia victory over Kinetrope 07:40:43.140 --> 07:40:50.140 and then we see a rematch of that upper semi-final. Yeah, actually, I almost lost it for the upper semi-final. 07:40:51.140 --> 07:40:56.140 And the hope will be that if that is the case, D plus key at play, better to their potential, 07:40:56.140 --> 07:41:00.140 probably respect the prep work, maybe that's CG going to do a little bit more heading into that matchup, 07:41:00.140 --> 07:41:04.140 and then going, well, okay, do we see a three-map belter for the major qual? 07:41:04.140 --> 07:41:08.140 And that's not to disrespect Kinectrope by any stretch. They showed some positive science today, 07:41:08.140 --> 07:41:14.120 today but I just think when the pressure really mounts and the margins close D plus 07:41:14.120 --> 07:41:18.220 KIA the me have shown enough to probably win that series. I have they shown 07:41:18.220 --> 07:41:23.020 enough to actually take down CAG. I would hesitate to say yes I think it's 07:41:23.020 --> 07:41:28.860 still pretty marginal and CAG are still favourites to take that slot at the 07:41:28.860 --> 07:41:32.820 major but again and we had this discussion at the start of the day it 07:41:32.820 --> 07:41:38.060 still doesn't quite feel as clear top as maybe Asia and post-it. 07:41:38.060 --> 07:41:42.800 We've got Falls in for an interview fresh off of the win. 07:41:42.800 --> 07:41:46.640 Hello Falls, thank you so much for coming in and having a chat with us pretty much straight 07:41:46.640 --> 07:41:47.640 off to the game. 07:41:47.640 --> 07:41:53.800 I did want to ask you one question here which is maybe a bit tongue in cheek, but do you 07:41:53.800 --> 07:41:56.440 think that's the last time you're going to get to play Lair for the rest of this kickoff 07:41:56.440 --> 07:41:57.440 stage? 07:41:57.440 --> 07:42:06.760 I don't know, I think it depends on the other teams to be honest and thank you for your 07:42:06.760 --> 07:42:12.480 You're welcome, to be honest, I think I miss you guys, I miss you in interviews and all of it. 07:42:12.480 --> 07:42:14.880 But yeah, it's going to depend on the other teams. 07:42:16.160 --> 07:42:18.800 I mean, on the team, let's jump straight into it, right? 07:42:18.800 --> 07:42:25.040 You have a big run ahead of you. If you are to make it to the Major, give us your thoughts on your path to the Major. 07:42:25.040 --> 07:42:29.120 How confident you guys can make it, I guess, to the Grand Final first and foremost. 07:42:29.120 --> 07:42:34.080 And then, CAG, unfortunately, you guys had a very rough game against them last time. 07:42:34.080 --> 07:42:38.380 And if we do see that very much, how do you adjust your game plan and your style to try 07:42:38.380 --> 07:42:40.580 to take them down on that second attempt? 07:42:40.580 --> 07:42:43.500 Yeah, I feel that we are pretty confident. 07:42:43.500 --> 07:42:47.580 We are still in the process like we put Musee on the lineup. 07:42:47.580 --> 07:42:53.380 So we're still like learning a lot, like adapting how we play with him in the core. 07:42:53.380 --> 07:42:58.140 So there is like this tournament is like a learning thing for us, it's the first tournament 07:42:58.140 --> 07:42:59.140 together. 07:42:59.140 --> 07:43:09.640 And I can see, of course we're gonna do some adjustments, but when you wake up and it's not your day, there's not much you can do. 07:43:09.640 --> 07:43:16.140 So I think we just need to be more prepared for a matchup with them, and I think it will be fine. 07:43:17.140 --> 07:43:21.640 Fools, you guys have now been in the APAC region for quite a bit of time now. 07:43:21.640 --> 07:43:25.960 Now, where do you kind of view it going into 2026, quality-wise? 07:43:25.960 --> 07:43:29.840 Do you feel like it's improving about the same as last year? 07:43:29.840 --> 07:43:32.840 How do you kind of view the APAC North region? 07:43:34.040 --> 07:43:38.040 Like, I'm liking it, like the same way I like it last year. 07:43:38.040 --> 07:43:44.040 I think we did a lot of improvement, like as a team, you know, like last year we are the new team on the block. 07:43:44.040 --> 07:43:49.040 And now the team already kind of knows what we are capable of. 07:43:49.040 --> 07:43:56.040 And I really believe that we have like some improvements on APL and NERF teams also. 07:43:56.040 --> 07:44:00.040 Actually, CAC, for example, I think they're better than last year. 07:44:00.040 --> 07:44:05.040 So yeah, I'm pretty hyped and I think it's good to have a challenge, you know? 07:44:05.040 --> 07:44:11.040 The last one before I let you go, obviously when it comes to the slots for majors, etc. 07:44:11.040 --> 07:44:18.040 The team that performs the best at those international events can then help their own region get an extra slot. 07:44:18.040 --> 07:44:25.080 lot, does that give you motivation to see the APAC North region improve so you go from say one 07:44:25.080 --> 07:44:31.160 slot to two for potential future majors? Yeah, definitely. But first of all, we need you to 07:44:31.160 --> 07:44:37.880 make it to the major. Our first step, like, have the opportunity to do this for a technology is 07:44:37.880 --> 07:44:43.080 pretty cool. If you have the chance, I'll be really honored. Awesome. Thank you so much, 07:44:43.080 --> 07:44:47.240 Forse, for having a chat and best of luck next week for what is going to be your run to the 07:44:47.240 --> 07:44:52.940 the major. Hopefully for your 07:44:53.140 --> 07:44:54.140 sake. Hopefully. Thank you, guys. 07:44:54.240 --> 07:44:55.940 Bye. Bye. See you. Big Thank you 07:44:56.040 --> 07:44:57.240 to falls for coming on. We've 07:44:57.340 --> 07:44:59.140 got the schedule ahead for the 07:44:59.240 --> 07:45:01.140 action on the mainstream. EML 07:45:01.240 --> 07:45:03.140 will be starting a good couple 07:45:03.240 --> 07:45:05.140 of hours time and big matches 07:45:05.240 --> 07:45:06.140 there, guys, especially in that 07:45:06.240 --> 07:45:08.140 little bracket for the four 07:45:08.240 --> 07:45:10.140 teams that remain to, of course, 07:45:10.240 --> 07:45:12.140 will make it to the major two 07:45:12.240 --> 07:45:15.140 will not. Yeah, two big games 07:45:15.240 --> 07:45:17.140 in the lower bracket semi 07:45:17.240 --> 07:45:23.460 As well towards the major so you're very exciting for a ML which is producing my interesting results 07:45:23.460 --> 07:45:24.960 So it's a big roster changes over there as well 07:45:24.960 --> 07:45:30.260 So if you are from APL and for whatever reason you're awake in three and a half hours, which to be fair 07:45:30.260 --> 07:45:32.260 We probably will be then go check it out 07:45:33.580 --> 07:45:38.620 Alrighty well, we're gonna close up for today's action here for a pack north.
