WEBVTT 22:00.000 --> 22:07.000 Eight teams will make the main stage here in Salt Lake City. 22:07.000 --> 22:12.000 Two have already sailed through. Phase and twist in minds handled business yesterday, 22:12.000 --> 22:20.000 but today the tide turns again. Three teams will punch their ticket, while three teams will be left dead in the water. 22:20.000 --> 22:27.000 G2 and Virtus Pro give us an all-European promotion game. Dark Zero and Wildcard collide in an all-NA battle. 22:27.000 --> 22:32.000 An enterprise gaming looking to keep riding one of the biggest waves of the tournament. 22:32.000 --> 22:36.000 Look to trash talk their way to victory over Shopify rebellion. 22:36.000 --> 22:42.000 On the elimination side of things, NIP are the team to watch after taking down Furia in an upset yesterday. 22:42.000 --> 22:46.000 Team Falcons could be the next team caught in their current. 22:46.000 --> 22:51.000 We've got promotion games on the A stream. We've got elimination games on the B stream. 22:51.000 --> 22:55.000 Day five of Salt Lake City starts now. 22:55.000 --> 23:01.000 Well, you might be mistaken with the two teams that we have playing in our very first match-up of the day because while we are in North America, 23:01.000 --> 23:10.000 we've got an EML derby to start things off. G2 had an opportunity yesterday to clinch a spot being the first team to go up 3-0 and advance to the main stage on Friday, 23:10.000 --> 23:21.000 and of course, it was another EML team that prevented them from doing so. Twisted Minds being the first team to qualify, and we will see a second team from that region in this VP G2 match-up. 23:21.000 --> 23:26.300 Yeah, you wouldn't expect it, Parker, because G2 topped the kickoff back during the EML domestic stage, 23:26.300 --> 23:30.800 but it's been their regional opponents who have given them the most trouble here in Salt Lake City. 23:30.800 --> 23:34.300 They'll get another battle, of course, up against Virtus.pro today to kick things off. 23:34.300 --> 23:37.800 But all day long, across both streams, we've got critically important games 23:37.800 --> 23:41.400 where every best of three matters to send someone home or to main stage. 23:41.400 --> 23:46.400 Absolutely. We'll have both streams running again, so you're not just going to be here for your drops and charm 23:46.400 --> 23:48.200 and everything that people were talking about in chat. 23:48.200 --> 23:53.360 You've also got the B stream, which Ace and Des will be on on the screen is your schedule. 23:53.360 --> 23:56.500 G2, Virtus Pro will be kicking off in just a few moments. 23:56.760 --> 24:04.440 Then we'll have Enterprise versus Rebellion and we'll round out the day with an all North American derby of Dark Zero versus Wild Card over on stream B. 24:04.640 --> 24:05.960 Los and Weibo. 24:05.960 --> 24:07.260 Loser goes home. 24:07.300 --> 24:08.100 Falconsnip. 24:08.340 --> 24:11.760 Loser goes home and all gamers five beers. 24:12.000 --> 24:13.140 Jesse, you know what I'm going to say. 24:14.100 --> 24:14.880 What are you going to say? 24:14.880 --> 24:15.880 Loser goes home. 24:15.880 --> 24:20.880 Of course, Parker, there are some really high stakes down there on the B stream, particularly looking at Falcons. 24:20.880 --> 24:26.720 I mean, they've been to the grand finals for the last three majors to not make it would be incredible. 24:26.720 --> 24:29.880 Here's your bracket and the path that all these teams took to get here. 24:29.880 --> 24:37.360 You can see on the far left and far right side of your screens that we've already sent two heat teams home and two teams to the brackets yesterday. 24:37.360 --> 24:41.880 Cyclots and Furia getting sent home without winning a match here at the major. 24:41.880 --> 24:46.440 unfortunate results for those two teams, higher expectations and disappointments, no doubt. 24:46.440 --> 24:50.920 Twisted Minds and Phase Clans, your first two teams will be playing in front of a crowd in Salt Lake City. 24:50.920 --> 24:55.720 And Fury was on a lot of people's markers as one of the favorites to go deep into the event, 24:55.720 --> 25:01.640 at least to make the live portion and the last day in Kag ending up as comparables. 25:01.640 --> 25:06.200 Don't usually think of Fury the organization as being along the same lines of Kag, 25:06.200 --> 25:10.040 but very obvious problems with the Panthers. They will have to sort that one out. 25:10.040 --> 25:16.360 Our combatants today are G2 vs. Virtus Pro, and let's take a look at this G2 team that 25:16.360 --> 25:17.760 is just similar to Furia. 25:17.760 --> 25:20.320 Many people have at the top of their sheet winning the whole thing. 25:20.320 --> 25:24.040 Yeah, I mean after the EML dominance that G2 showed, everybody thought this scene would 25:24.040 --> 25:27.400 be locks for the main stage, and they're still favorites even with the loss today. 25:27.400 --> 25:31.920 They'll get one more opportunity tomorrow, but there's no doubt G2 have had a couple 25:31.920 --> 25:34.280 of struggles yesterday's game versus Twisted Minds. 25:34.280 --> 25:37.960 It was blamed on poor decision making and a big tweet coming out from Doki, and so they're 25:37.960 --> 25:42.240 We're going to want to reverse some of that here in their domestic matchup versus VP. 25:42.240 --> 25:47.160 VP, actually the only team before yesterday to have taken a match off G2. 25:47.160 --> 25:51.160 They beat them in G2's season opener back in the domestic stage. 25:51.160 --> 25:53.520 Now they're looking to do that once again. 25:53.520 --> 25:57.600 Virtus.pro have been really surprising some people here at this major. 25:57.600 --> 25:58.880 They've had a lot of shield play. 25:58.880 --> 26:01.720 They're a different look from what we saw from them last season and it looks really 26:01.720 --> 26:02.720 good. 26:02.720 --> 26:06.320 Now you might be wondering what maps are we going to go to. 26:06.320 --> 26:11.680 Question chat and here you are first pick will be vertus pro's choice. We're gonna go to bank 26:11.960 --> 26:15.600 This is not exactly a map that we know them for we know g2 on this map 26:15.600 --> 26:20.440 It's a bit of an odd one chalet will be the second choice and if needed border will be our decider 26:20.440 --> 26:25.720 And this is like a very clear example of this VP not being the team we're used to seeing right the old VP 26:25.720 --> 26:30.600 You would have never gone to a map, but that they haven't played before but this is a brand new one for vertus pro 26:30.600 --> 26:36.160 They haven't shown it since before forming their new roster g2 beating Shopify rebellion earlier this tournament 26:36.320 --> 26:43.120 Yeah, I mean, we've been riding along watching G2 casting G2, so I mean, we'll see as that unfolds. 26:46.620 --> 26:47.920 Get interested about those maps? 26:47.920 --> 26:55.720 Absolutely. Getting dark zero, I should say. Troy teams, they always mix me up. 73% of you back in G2. 26:55.720 --> 27:00.320 Massive kind of swing for the community. They know how this game has gone in the past. 27:00.320 --> 27:06.960 a rematch of the EML finals between Virtus.pro and G2 and we kick it off on a brand new map for VP. 27:07.600 --> 27:12.640 Already the respect being shown here in chat and we'll see if that continues going forward. I know 27:12.640 --> 27:18.720 the guys on G2 have been liking a bit of text chat so far this event so if that does keep up then 27:18.720 --> 27:24.320 we'll see if VP respond in kind. Not a very vocal team on the defense to start things off. Virtus.pro 27:24.320 --> 27:29.280 will typically just close that text chat and not like to respond. The Mira banned out. That was their 27:29.280 --> 27:33.160 their first band when they played against Dark Zero two days ago coming through from G2. 27:33.160 --> 27:37.600 They followed it up with an echo in their previous matchup, but they will move to the 27:37.600 --> 27:41.480 Kaid. I think that is a more standard band. I think a very good band up against VP. 27:41.480 --> 27:45.960 Yeah. I mean, you get rid of one hard breacher or get one of the breach denials and you get 27:45.960 --> 27:49.680 rid of a hard breacher here on bank. That's pretty standard stuff. Nothing really that 27:49.680 --> 27:56.800 abnormal. I will say, Jesse, it has been eternity since I have casted Dan competing 27:56.800 --> 28:02.320 against G2. For the longest time these two were the Titans at the very top of Europe. 28:02.320 --> 28:07.120 Virtus.Pro obviously at the time having an all-Russian roster, they have a new identity now, 28:07.120 --> 28:11.600 and the team is still quite good. In fact, you mentioned that they faced off against G2 in the 28:11.600 --> 28:18.320 AML finals. Granted, G2 did have their way with them in that matchup. But some teams don't take 28:18.320 --> 28:22.720 that as seriously as they will hear knowing what their spot on the main stage is all they want. 28:22.720 --> 28:30.620 Exactly, that was a seeding match between G2 and Virtus Pro, and of course for Cry's money, SI points, and bragging rights, but this one will be the one that people remember. 28:30.620 --> 28:35.620 This is the one that counts, at least in terms of qualifying for top 8 here in Salt Lake City. 28:35.620 --> 28:42.620 You mentioned Dan briefly, Parker, and he's going to be a big focus for me here on these first 6 rounds, because defense-wise, he has been incredible. 28:42.620 --> 28:49.420 A 233 KDR on the defense in the tournament so far, that is the best of any player here in Salt Lake City, so watch out for Dan. 28:49.420 --> 28:52.520 He's likely to be the top rider for VP through these first six rounds. 28:54.660 --> 28:57.020 So keep all eyes on Dan and his utility. 28:57.360 --> 28:59.660 Pasha will roam. 28:59.660 --> 29:02.260 This is my first time casting another player on Skies as well. 29:02.260 --> 29:03.920 Jesse just does a side note here. 29:03.920 --> 29:08.060 I'm so used to casting Alex as he was known, the world champion 29:08.060 --> 29:11.700 who won with Elevate way back in the day and had a long tenured and storied 29:11.700 --> 29:14.800 career as a bit of a journeyman over in North America. 29:14.800 --> 29:17.560 We wish him well in his retirements to play in some T2 stuff. 29:17.560 --> 29:19.400 There's a new Skies in town. 29:19.400 --> 29:25.240 I'd like to be playing to enable his team in far away as Pasha's the first one involved in some action 29:25.240 --> 29:27.720 But scares away these G2 players then falls back himself 29:28.000 --> 29:31.560 And your master looking to capitalize off of that but is unable to find anything 29:31.560 --> 29:34.040 This is frankly a really cool defense from bird is pro 29:34.040 --> 29:38.240 They brought the castle which is not an operator often seen here on the bottom floor of bank 29:38.240 --> 29:44.140 And they've used it to kind of extend onto this mid floor given a bit more of an aggressive look over towards G2 not content 29:44.140 --> 29:45.960 Could just sit with your utility down in the bomb site 29:45.960 --> 29:50.960 They're gonna be looking for some early gun early gunfights hoping to stall out this clear a bit and there it is 29:50.960 --> 29:53.640 Dan the man of the hour finds the opening frag to doki 29:53.960 --> 29:59.000 Not exactly the start you want as day most Dan of course involved in this is always a good thing 29:59.000 --> 30:01.000 You highlighted those numbers just moments ago 30:01.480 --> 30:05.880 Now it's skies lined up with a nitro cell. He manages to get shaco. He took the body 30:05.880 --> 30:09.040 He took the man not the utility skies could have another as well 30:10.640 --> 30:15.920 This is a good defense from VP whether it's a castle slowing them down or a lacking utility g2 30:15.960 --> 30:17.960 has just bottomed out on this entry. 30:17.960 --> 30:20.960 Yeah, that Mute Jammer from Skye's means it's gonna be really hard to push him out. 30:20.960 --> 30:24.760 Benja can't see him on the snake, so it gets really awkward to clear this roam position. 30:24.760 --> 30:28.960 He is a bit caught, he doesn't have a good rotate back to site, and he's likely dead here to Benja, 30:28.960 --> 30:33.560 but NO! Loses the fight, Skye's so good with the SMG-11! 30:33.560 --> 30:40.160 Zero damage done to him, up till that point, Stompin' will find a little bit Skye's on a rampage. 30:40.160 --> 30:46.560 Allymouth shot down and it's stomping in a 1v5. This is not the start that G2 wanted whatsoever 30:47.400 --> 30:50.380 These are both very good attacking teams on this map 30:51.000 --> 30:56.360 The Defender win rate for VP not very good. You wouldn't know it after that one up a 30:57.080 --> 31:01.120 flawless start in a 4k from Skye's good lord 31:01.960 --> 31:04.440 Really good to see Skye's bouncing back Parker 31:04.440 --> 31:11.840 He was the MVP of the team back in their opening match versus Shopify Rebellion dropped 15 kills his first game in Salt Lake City 31:11.840 --> 31:17.900 But he hasn't had a really strong game since has gone negative or even every game since that first one versus SR 31:17.900 --> 31:21.280 So starts off 4-0 here roaming on bank and again 31:21.280 --> 31:24.540 I want to highlight that utility play the big problem with roaming in 31:24.900 --> 31:32.320 2026 is that you've got demos you've got doke of the you've got snake the attackers have so many tools to find your position and clear you out 31:32.320 --> 31:37.720 But because he's playing on the mute, he can set those jammers down. He can avoid a lot of that utility 31:37.720 --> 31:43.000 And so it meant that that snake in particular really was struggling to find that pick onto onto 31:44.160 --> 31:49.780 Skies I should say the vert play was excellent, but it was not quite good enough to come from G2 31:49.780 --> 31:51.800 So really strong start from BP. Yeah 31:51.800 --> 31:56.720 I mean all of it enabled by that castle as well G2 just trickling in one by one 31:56.720 --> 32:00.640 They broke the door they were looking for a 3 2 1 go onto that tellers portion of the map 32:00.640 --> 32:04.640 I think there's a little bit too behind there and it will be there undoing. 32:04.640 --> 32:12.640 A castle being brought again, so G2 will once again have to confront those bullet-proof 32:12.640 --> 32:13.640 barricades. 32:13.640 --> 32:16.640 We do say that because Glass is not shooting too many more, that was a long time ago. 32:16.640 --> 32:21.640 It required us to change up our language a little bit on that gadgetry, but still. 32:21.640 --> 32:27.640 Nook being brought by Doki, he had pretty lousy first round, picked off right away. 32:27.640 --> 32:29.640 This is a great Nook map. 32:29.640 --> 32:35.880 Yep. It was Alamow who was playing the softwriters so often in their last game against DZ here on this map, 32:35.880 --> 32:41.640 so a bit of a change up now. Alamow on the snake getting in very early, it's off-floor, finds a couple of bodies, but no heads, Parker. 32:42.040 --> 32:46.280 We've got another now over on the stairs, Dan leading things off again, and it's a mirror matchup. 32:46.280 --> 32:49.760 Dan versus Doki, it'll happen twice. Pasha guns down Alamow. 32:51.160 --> 32:58.080 The noob gambit that we were excited to see will end up doing nothing. 45 seconds into the round, and G2 have already fallen on their face. 32:58.080 --> 33:02.320 Yeah, yet to find a single kill in this matchpark, or uncharacteristic for G2, 33:02.320 --> 33:05.640 with their weakest start to a game so far, it felt like City Major, 33:05.640 --> 33:08.640 in a 3v5 now, a bit of the ability to work some picks back. 33:08.640 --> 33:12.520 They've got pop-floor control, that roam clear, it was very costly, 33:12.520 --> 33:14.560 but at least they take some space from it. 33:14.560 --> 33:16.880 Virtus.pro deciding they're happy to give up this control, 33:16.880 --> 33:18.640 despite the fact that Benji left here on the ram, 33:18.640 --> 33:21.920 and maybe a mistake, great shot from Benji to come through 33:21.920 --> 33:23.920 and get the first frag of the game for G2. 33:23.920 --> 33:26.640 Down goes Neko, but passive gadgetry, 33:26.640 --> 33:31.760 those Mute Jamers will still exist with how much Intel operators being are brought by G2. 33:31.760 --> 33:35.240 You have to imagine those Mute Jamers will come in very effective, especially at stopping 33:35.240 --> 33:36.680 those death marks from Shiko. 33:36.680 --> 33:39.440 He's still got two remaining in pocket. 33:39.440 --> 33:43.120 Soft destruction, hard destruction will round out the G2 operator lineup at the moment as 33:43.120 --> 33:45.240 we hit the halfway point in the round. 33:45.240 --> 33:48.800 Shiko is very close to being able to pull something off, but he loses the duel of the 33:48.800 --> 33:49.800 Pasha. 33:49.800 --> 33:51.480 What is going on with G2? 33:51.480 --> 33:55.680 Stopping trades it back, tied with Alimau for the best-rated player on the team. 33:55.680 --> 33:57.600 Ian Benjamin will need to do some serious work. 33:57.600 --> 33:58.440 The team will get another. 33:58.440 --> 34:01.600 It's a dead drop, shut down by Skye's. 34:01.600 --> 34:06.200 Neither of the two remaining players on VP have died. 34:06.200 --> 34:07.880 Stombin's got a minute to work through this, Jesse, 34:07.880 --> 34:09.240 but it's not looking good. 34:09.240 --> 34:11.680 Lots of time for the youngster, still 19 years old, 34:11.680 --> 34:12.880 looking to get this clutch here. 34:12.880 --> 34:15.640 It would be a critical round to win versus VP. 34:15.640 --> 34:16.800 He's a late round player. 34:16.800 --> 34:17.680 This is his role. 34:17.680 --> 34:21.320 This is why they have him existing so long in these rounds. 34:21.320 --> 34:24.160 The drone is good, but the shots need to be too. 34:24.160 --> 34:26.160 I mean that DMR does hit like a truck. 34:26.920 --> 34:27.920 Playing keep away. 34:28.540 --> 34:31.100 Anti-work forced on as he destroys the cubicles. 34:31.900 --> 34:33.560 Freeing himself from the chains of the corporal. 34:33.560 --> 34:35.060 I'm sorry, I was just, I was just... 34:35.060 --> 34:36.560 This guy's been a final kill. 34:37.160 --> 34:40.060 G2 unable to muster anything on those first two rounds. 34:40.060 --> 34:42.160 VP off to a screaming hot start. 34:42.460 --> 34:44.860 Yeah, a bit frustrating coming through from G2 because again, 34:44.860 --> 34:47.860 this is a map that Virtus.pro have not shown at all, 34:47.860 --> 34:50.060 but G2 have had a bit of history on. 34:50.060 --> 34:53.060 And you go back to that nook play from Doki that really started things off, 34:53.060 --> 35:02.360 creeping up those lobby stairs. On one hand, that's kind of an unexpected play. Nook doesn't see a lot of pick rate presence here at the 6th major coming through. 35:02.360 --> 35:08.560 We don't see a lot of that Nook, but it was played twice by Alamow on that very bomb site just two days ago. 35:08.560 --> 35:13.560 I mean, that is a strategy that G2 have shown in the past. So of course, VP were ready for it. 35:13.560 --> 35:17.560 They weren't just relying on visual aid to stop anyone walking up the spiral staircase. 35:17.560 --> 35:23.060 Ended up being some really early deaths from Doki and Al-Amao now in both rounds, but particularly that second round. 35:23.060 --> 35:26.660 And then you kind of get into this awkward space where you don't have the man count. 35:26.660 --> 35:28.160 You have good information. 35:28.160 --> 35:31.660 You saw it with the player just on the open area wall. 35:31.660 --> 35:37.660 There was a drone inside a printer that was staring at his position the whole time, but they still only go one for one on the trade. 35:37.660 --> 35:40.960 That has to be a clean frag when you have the intel advantage. 35:40.960 --> 35:45.260 Even when G2 are setting themselves up into good positions, they're not capitalizing on them. 35:45.260 --> 35:50.300 and this early talk time up for Ramalho I think makes me seem a little bit worried for this team. 35:50.860 --> 35:54.540 Oh, I didn't know you're a G2 fan. Uh-uh, listen, I want a good game between these 35:54.540 --> 35:58.140 teams Parker and the way G2 is playing at the moment. We're not going to get a good competitive 35:58.140 --> 36:03.740 game. Bank has the most rounds played here in Salt Lake City and it is overwhelmingly attacker 36:03.740 --> 36:10.060 favored. It is one of only two attacker favored maps at the moment. It is also very utility based, 36:10.060 --> 36:16.860 17 plants have gone down and yeah, 56% of all the rounds on bank won by the attackers that almost mirrors 36:17.140 --> 36:22.020 G2's win rate on this map over the last seven times that they've played it 36:22.980 --> 36:25.660 58 almost 59% for G2 36:25.660 --> 36:31.860 So obviously losing those two bomb sites really quite detrimental and what gives me a little bit more concern is that while we 36:31.860 --> 36:37.460 Haven't seen vertice pro play that much of this map their defender win rate is downright miserable 36:37.460 --> 36:44.500 39% defender win rate for VP on this map and you wouldn't know it looking at the score line 36:44.500 --> 36:46.180 Yeah, but again, like it's a new team 36:46.180 --> 36:48.540 They've made some roster moves since the last time they played it 36:48.540 --> 36:54.500 I think it really does speak to that new identity that verse pro wanted to bring into the 2026 season 36:54.500 --> 36:57.720 We're seeing that live now in this oh so important game versus G2 36:58.060 --> 37:02.020 It's only 2-0 in the tack time. Let's just be called. I don't want to ring the alarm bells yet 37:02.020 --> 37:06.620 It's also VP's pick so it's a long series don't panic yet stomping fans 37:06.620 --> 37:12.120 But certainly the start that VP were dreaming of now they go to the top floor and this is going to be a bit of an awkward spot 37:12.120 --> 37:13.960 Because Pasha has brought this bandit 37:13.960 --> 37:17.600 It's going to make the elevator wall very difficult to open up on the side of G2 37:17.600 --> 37:20.160 They've got stomping here and the dough could be to try to accomplish that goal 37:20.160 --> 37:25.520 But they'll need some nades or some other utility to find those bandit batteries before they can get the wall opened 37:26.160 --> 37:30.520 VP no roam down below nothing too aggro just happy to play behind their utility to start 37:30.520 --> 37:34.680 We've seen teams rock this on the top floor of banquet a kind gets banned out 37:34.680 --> 37:38.580 You have to bring the bandit the good news is the bandit has a terrific gun as well 37:38.800 --> 37:42.480 So in the hands of posha with all the noise he's been able to make finding a select kills 37:42.560 --> 37:47.320 You've got a good utility operator and a good fragging operator that wall that's now being dealt with that 37:47.320 --> 37:49.760 Oh my goodness manages to stay closed is 37:50.320 --> 37:57.060 affectionately referred to as canto spot named after the g2 player of canto when he used to play that double barricaded wall 37:57.280 --> 38:02.840 With with echo now g2 will have to confront a part of the map 38:04.680 --> 38:08.560 A long shot from Doki, he finds the body of Skye's first, first try of the game. 38:08.560 --> 38:13.080 That is a really important kill with 6-0 before that moment, but now things get awkward. 38:13.080 --> 38:18.680 Shrek wants to walk up these spiral stairs, the wall is closed, so this position will be very tough to clear out for the Frenchman. 38:20.080 --> 38:23.400 The Skylight drop, which has become far more common here on Bank. 38:23.400 --> 38:28.280 They've got another DMR in hands of Stompin looking for a mistake for Rorik to commit. 38:28.600 --> 38:32.000 So many players on the side of VP whose names we haven't said because they haven't really done anything. 38:32.000 --> 38:33.600 Jesse Rorik is definitely one of them. 38:33.600 --> 38:40.700 Pasha will eliminate Shaco and go for a drop. He might be able to get a nice flank off, paused for a moment as the Lion scan will go. 38:41.800 --> 38:45.200 He missed him. He sees one, he sees one, cuts him off a wire! 38:45.700 --> 38:48.800 Oh my goodness, target, Dummy's falling abound! 38:49.000 --> 38:53.400 Body's hitting the floor, Benjamaster now in a 1v4. 38:53.400 --> 38:57.500 Outside on repel, this round has not gone any better for G2, 38:57.500 --> 39:03.660 And it's Rorick to seal the deal, a perfect start and a perfect rotation for Virtus Pro! 39:03.660 --> 39:08.060 This has been clinical from VP Parker, just perfect U2 play. 39:08.060 --> 39:14.220 The fact that you stick the Bandit trick there from Pasha, absolutely incredible and honestly, 39:14.220 --> 39:19.260 really heartbreaking stuff for G2. I mean, they didn't think that that wall was going to be such a 39:19.260 --> 39:23.900 big problem. They only brought those EMPs. They had the Capitao Bolt, but none of it was enough. 39:23.900 --> 39:28.260 really bold play to stick the bandit trick and once that wall stays closed 39:28.260 --> 39:32.420 once the cancel wall is no longer an option option to get angles open it 39:32.420 --> 39:37.060 just becomes so difficult the crossfire was too strong the drop down as well with 39:37.060 --> 39:41.820 the Aruni punch I mean every plan that VP had there was perfectly crafted to 39:41.820 --> 39:45.940 counter what G2 wants to do on that push and after the tack time out you go 39:45.940 --> 39:49.820 down such devastating result you have to be better than that absolutely this one 39:49.820 --> 39:53.620 in particular I don't even know if he saw the player hanging on repel that was 39:53.620 --> 39:56.860 Yeah, who was that? Yeah, that was Alina. I don't know if you saw that one or not 39:56.860 --> 40:03.540 But I mean you got two players like spider-man Peter Parker himself hanging off a web in the middle of the lobby and none of them 40:03.900 --> 40:11.020 Looking for a potential flank. It was a shrewd and smart move from Furtis pro and they are absolutely dog walking g2 40:11.620 --> 40:14.700 Six kills from skies four from posh up four from Dan 40:14.700 --> 40:18.780 I mean it has really just been a master class from the fraggers on VP 40:18.780 --> 40:24.700 Neko, the hard support IGL still left off the kill feed, but that's exactly where he wants to be. 40:24.700 --> 40:29.860 We've talked about this with other IGLs. Parker, where sometimes we look at guys like Vitaking, guys like Canadian. 40:29.860 --> 40:34.620 If everything was going to plan, they should not be fragging, and that's exactly what's happened so far from Virtus Pro. 40:34.620 --> 40:37.860 Yeah, I mean, Neko is not seeing any real minutes at all. 40:37.860 --> 40:43.040 The only time we saw him was, I want to see him when he played Mute in round number two, if every search correctly, 40:43.040 --> 40:46.920 and then he was a bit more forward, but beyond that, this VP team doing very well. 40:46.920 --> 40:54.660 Obviously the kills will tell the whole story 15 to 4 in terms of the fragging department G2 not even putting up a fight as we 40:54.660 --> 40:56.460 Entered the fourth round 40:56.460 --> 41:00.020 Averaging just a little over one kill per round is not going to get the job done 41:00.020 --> 41:02.380 That's the type of thing that you might see at a team in playings 41:02.540 --> 41:06.440 Yeah, that's not the thing you expected of the top team coming out of EML and on one hand 41:06.440 --> 41:09.680 I like the mute band coming through from G2. It's gonna enable this roam clear 41:09.680 --> 41:14.840 That was the big problem opera that Skies was playing back in round number one when they got their flawless start to this game 41:14.840 --> 41:21.420 But on the other hand Parker VP don't have to roam anymore. They see the mute band. They say that's fine bring your snake bring your demos 41:21.420 --> 41:25.600 We're gonna go sit inside the bomb site a much more passive approach coming through from VP 41:26.060 --> 41:30.380 Opportunities maybe for guys like Skies to get aggressive at some points in this round 41:30.380 --> 41:32.980 But really they are not looking to take aggressive fights 41:32.980 --> 41:37.540 They're happy to shoot some drones hold their angles and fall back with all of their utility in sight 41:37.740 --> 41:43.300 Toxic babes to chunk of fire grenades everything they could possibly want to walk down this plant spot will be here 41:43.300 --> 41:50.000 It's going to kind of slow things down for G2, show them a different approach that they're not used to and force them to work with this utility. 41:50.000 --> 41:53.900 I'll mention it as well, without the Hibana they've been forced to bring three sets of can openers, 41:53.900 --> 41:56.700 which could be restricting the operators they want to bring for this attack. 41:56.700 --> 42:01.700 This reminds me of a very old bank. And when I say old bank, I mean Stompin fans weren't even born at this point in time. 42:01.700 --> 42:03.200 That's how old it was. 42:03.200 --> 42:03.700 Yeah. 42:03.700 --> 42:07.900 When there were only three hard breaches, Thermite, Hibana, and Maverick, 42:07.900 --> 42:11.600 and if you banned one of those hard breaches, you were doomed. 42:11.600 --> 42:16.720 You'd have to bring two at minimum that if one of them died early just like the olden days when it was just thermite and thatcher 42:16.960 --> 42:22.240 You are kind of screwed for this bottom floor execute. There's just so many reinforcements you have to deal with now 42:22.240 --> 42:26.560 We'll say G2 have brought good site utility. They've got the sends from stomping to lock off angles 42:26.560 --> 42:28.960 They've got the ying from Alamow to blind players, of course 42:28.960 --> 42:32.560 And even Shrek along this Grimm will have some bees to spot out player utilities 42:32.560 --> 42:37.600 They've got good tools to make this execute work, but so do Virtus Pro. This push is gonna be messy 42:37.600 --> 42:43.060 It's going to be chaotic and it's going to be really important that G2 find other angles to get frags in this push 42:43.060 --> 42:47.680 Because they likely won't be able to get that diffuse get down on the ground with all of these plant and our lumps 42:47.680 --> 42:53.760 Far and away the slowest round for both of these teams and honestly, that's credit to VP for playing more static defense here 42:54.120 --> 42:59.920 As Dan will quarterback this play from a position that we often see a pulse play in the solos will be there 42:59.920 --> 43:03.440 So Dan will be able to get give some information to his teammates 43:03.440 --> 43:07.440 Demos target going out, Snake walking in, 43:07.440 --> 43:11.440 Benja missing all of his shots, Skye's cut him down, now the Demos of Doki. 43:11.440 --> 43:15.440 Empty handed over in garage, looking to push over towards Balth, the cross is there as well. 43:15.440 --> 43:20.440 He gets Skye's, they were hoping for a response from VP, they almost get Doki. 43:20.440 --> 43:23.440 20 seconds left, Jesse, 8 players still on the board, make that 7, 43:23.440 --> 43:27.440 Magco tears through Doki, Alimow getting diffuser down. 43:27.440 --> 43:30.440 Dane will give that information, not before he kills Stompin in the process, 43:30.440 --> 43:32.440 and there goes the rest of G2. 43:32.440 --> 43:37.440 Good Lord, I wasn't aware we were going to a funeral so early this morning. 43:37.440 --> 43:40.440 Parker, it's been a rough to witness for G2 fans. 43:40.440 --> 43:42.440 I mean, everything they're trying to do is failing. 43:42.440 --> 43:45.440 I think they recognized the defense setup from BP very nicely there. 43:45.440 --> 43:47.440 They didn't just try to work a plant in through servers. 43:47.440 --> 43:49.440 That's good. That's not something that would have worked for them. 43:49.440 --> 43:51.440 They had a lot of different angles in that push. 43:51.440 --> 43:54.440 They had a player on gold hatch. They had a player dropping elevator hatch. 43:54.440 --> 43:55.440 They had a player on main stairs. 43:55.440 --> 43:59.440 Every angle you could want for that push, they had someone there. 43:59.440 --> 44:06.880 The problem is, if you just have individual players in those positions, once they lose their gunfights, there's no potential for a trade. 44:06.880 --> 44:14.540 And G2, they don't lose their gunfights very often. This is not a common problem, but today, they're getting outmanned, outgunned at all moments, 44:14.540 --> 44:17.880 and they're just not able to hit the shots that we're used to seeing from them. 44:17.880 --> 44:23.140 Almo eventually was in a plant position there, but it just didn't matter with all of his teammates falling around him. 44:23.140 --> 44:27.580 They couldn't want to fight to save their lives, and VP had been looking so good on those defenses. 44:27.580 --> 44:31.860 Reminder, this is Virtus.Pro's map, but they are defending first. 44:31.900 --> 44:36.860 Yes. Usually the assumption is that when it is your map, you will go to an early deficit. 44:36.860 --> 44:38.340 That is not the case here. 44:38.660 --> 44:40.900 And again, I hate to bring these numbers up. 44:41.860 --> 44:45.580 VP, downright bad on bank defense. 44:45.580 --> 44:50.620 Historically, a sub 40% ring rate that is well below the margins that we usually see. 44:50.980 --> 44:54.540 Typically, when we when we talk about sides, Jesse, it's a 44 to 56. 44:54.580 --> 44:55.860 An absolute most. Sure. 44:55.860 --> 45:02.740 So to see G2's stats on this map, very formidable on attack, almost a 60% attack or win rate, 45:02.740 --> 45:07.220 and almost a 40% defender win rate for VP, this is abnormal to say the least. 45:08.100 --> 45:12.020 You definitely got a question, G2's decision to start on the attack here, I just made sure that 45:12.020 --> 45:15.780 was correct, indeed it was. Here comes the push top square, Stalpin finds the opening frag here 45:15.780 --> 45:20.260 on the Blackbeard, the Blitz in as well, Alamo catching the retreat, no, not quite, it's Pasha 45:20.260 --> 45:25.700 instead who deals the damage and it's a 4-3 lead for G2. Very early push for G2 and it is working 45:25.700 --> 45:31.220 out in spades for the first time they have a numbers advantage posher will say no he's at seven kills 45:31.220 --> 45:38.260 sky's at seven kills g2 combining four seven kills themselves so you're going to be going up against 45:38.260 --> 45:44.420 some juggernauts and oh by the way dan is yet to die six and oh great on defense but he has not been 45:44.420 --> 45:48.900 the star of this show so far jesse no i mean there have been multiple stars here parker there's really 45:48.900 --> 45:53.860 been no bad performance for vp g2 maybe the best look they've had so far though this is a decent 45:53.860 --> 45:58.020 start for them. It's not an easy round. It's not free at this point, but they've got a 3v3 even 45:58.020 --> 46:02.500 man count spot and I like their tools. Stalpin on the Blackbeard, Shikoh on the Demos, and then 46:02.500 --> 46:07.060 Benja up top on this ram. It's going to make positions uncomfortable for Virtus Pro down to 46:07.060 --> 46:10.580 the bottom floor. Here's Skye's in the same position where he got his 4k and around 1, 46:10.580 --> 46:15.460 but with this ram up above, it is very scary to play here. A very ballsy play by him to assess 46:15.460 --> 46:21.060 the damage done by the ram. Benja Master was able to get a couple picks on this ram from that same 46:21.060 --> 46:25.020 spot when it was the open area bomb site he will stare down a very familiar part 46:25.020 --> 46:29.980 of this map as he's assumed the position Dan is waiting for the drop if they can 46:29.980 --> 46:34.100 catch him this would be a huge pick for g2 they'll use one of their deathmarks to 46:34.100 --> 46:38.760 isolate poshah maybe a flash as a drop can come in from small office the black 46:38.760 --> 46:43.060 beard will land it's all up to skies to clutch out he gets one no diffuse kit for 46:43.060 --> 46:47.020 g2 as they hold the lead and they hold the numbers advantage nitrous cell goes 46:47.020 --> 46:50.520 He lets him rip, he's downed him, now it's all up to him and Shiko. 46:50.520 --> 46:52.520 Shiko finally getting on the board. 46:52.520 --> 46:57.520 Skye's looking to break double digits, but he's got Shiko on his heels. 46:57.520 --> 46:59.520 Finally G2 win the round. 46:59.520 --> 47:03.020 That's a big motivator and Shiko needed to get in the game. 47:03.020 --> 47:05.520 Dropping a donut up until that round. 47:05.520 --> 47:09.520 Two kills for the Frenchman and G2 will avoid getting swept in this first half. 47:09.520 --> 47:15.520 Yeah, he was late to the party, Parker, but Shiko's arrival in this game could not have come at a more critical moment. 47:15.520 --> 47:21.520 stops that potential clutch coming through from Skye's and just working around his teammates really nicely in that 3v3 47:21.520 --> 47:25.080 It was a great push all together with of course that drop coming through from stop 47:25.080 --> 47:29.940 And he's the one player who can safely drop that stock hatch because he's got that big shield in front of him 47:30.460 --> 47:34.320 Unfortunate loss from Benja again skies has been so good today that nitro again 47:34.320 --> 47:38.340 It's just incredible play from Skye's but Shiko when he is required to 47:38.400 --> 47:43.480 Hits the shots and manages to win that 1v1 clutch really big stuff to get G2 on the board 47:43.480 --> 47:49.380 And honestly, it really does come down to how quickly they were able to roam or how quickly they were able to cut down on the 47:49.380 --> 47:52.680 Role. Yeah, right. We finally saw a good execute here. And 47:53.560 --> 47:59.380 Honestly, Jesse, a lot of these kills have been coming really, really early with the exception of the fourth round. 47:59.720 --> 48:03.760 Every first blood has been spilled before the halfway point of the round. 48:04.040 --> 48:10.960 Most of them within the first minute. So G2 bringing a Blackbeard as their main point, bringing an escort with it, 48:10.960 --> 48:16.100 Isolating these top four players and then pushing them back down into the bomb site 48:16.100 --> 48:24.240 You might not have come away with a player lead, but you gain so much map control and ultimately you didn't lose that much utility in the process 48:24.240 --> 48:26.240 That's what we like to see from G2 48:26.440 --> 48:32.920 And they've got one more attempt now on attack before they go to a side that statistically they're not as well practiced on 48:32.920 --> 48:34.200 Oh my goodness 48:34.200 --> 48:40.680 Benj almost gets a golden opportunity for two skies taking some damage and VP get away with their lives and heads still intact 48:40.960 --> 48:47.700 Both Hibana and Ace banned out. They can't try what they did last time with that Kanto wall, so that wall's gonna stay closed no matter which way you cut it. 48:47.700 --> 48:54.460 Now G2 will need a different approach. They brought Alamo here on the Thermite, so it looks like it's gonna be a top square plant coming through from G2. 48:54.460 --> 49:00.500 He repels in. Now it will begin to get this wall open. I'm always worried about the clash for this style of defense, Parker. 49:00.500 --> 49:08.200 Neko will be able to position himself over top square, running through the hallway now, and this is gonna make it really difficult for G2 to actually push in. 49:08.200 --> 49:14.640 They got the breach open, which is excellent, but making your way from their current positions into the bombsite through that breach is a whole another ballgame. 49:14.640 --> 49:19.600 Depending on the calls here from Niko, they could punish Alimao as Stompid and Rorik come to blows. 49:19.600 --> 49:25.180 A double stack up now as Shaco is in pursuit, Rorik playing off this angle, we've seen this time and time again. 49:25.180 --> 49:30.800 Out will go a razor-blue, nice shot from Stompid, he'll find a second through the wall, down goes Pasha. 49:30.800 --> 49:36.860 G2 once again, so formidable on this entry. This time though, Jesse, doing much better than the previous one. 49:36.860 --> 49:39.820 Almost an opportunity from Dan as the player jumps out the window. 49:39.820 --> 49:43.180 I believe it was Alamow trying to get that frag, but not quite gonna be able to secure it. 49:43.180 --> 49:47.080 Stomp, and this kid just looks magical. Sometimes he kills, he's able to secure it. 49:47.080 --> 49:50.740 Doki, who misses a couple of opportunities on disguise, playing inside of Long Desk. 49:50.740 --> 49:55.020 A two-man advantage should be good enough to execute, but they need to be sharp here for the last 75. 49:55.020 --> 50:02.660 Shago debilitated by that Razorbloom. Dan, a kill on to Doki, who's hanging on that cross outside of the bomb site. 50:02.660 --> 50:07.820 You'll need somebody to take up that position because it paralyzes the defenders often known as cut or cross or mailbox 50:07.900 --> 50:14.780 You're just gonna sit there on repel and hope that somebody rotates over in a way that they're not expecting and you punish them for it 50:14.780 --> 50:20.780 So G2 will have Ali now go into this position. He was over by square stairs final minute of this first half 50:20.780 --> 50:24.380 And it's G2 with the numbers of them Stomp is really looking for something here 50:24.380 --> 50:29.020 But it's Benj on spiral that opens things up at the last 45 Neko goes down. It's an answer from skies 50:29.020 --> 50:33.220 There goes Stalpin, Alimao with the defuse kit inside site, can he plant here? 50:33.220 --> 50:37.820 Skye's breaking double digits, sees Shaco over by stock trading and does not want to commit to this engagement. 50:37.820 --> 50:42.120 He gets torn asunder and now it's Dan to clutch out. He wasn't successful previously. 50:42.120 --> 50:49.120 Dan a great defensive player, but three monsters on G2. Plenty of time and the attackers have the bomb site. 50:49.120 --> 50:57.420 Alimao might be quiet on the offense, but he's getting that defuse kit down and it will now cause much greater heartache for this VP team. 50:57.420 --> 51:03.420 Dan isolated, you can see G2 has lined up looking for him, licking their chops at this final kill. 51:03.420 --> 51:10.420 It'll be Ali now to do that. He'll go not kill-less this first half. Carl getting the exit frag in round number six. 51:10.420 --> 51:18.420 G2 ultimately salvaging that first half. They desperately needed those two rounds. They get him, and now a mental reset for the second half. 51:18.420 --> 51:28.420 I'm gonna talk to some things about collected attacks, okay? 51:28.420 --> 51:32.420 I think like for the attack on Panera guys, like, I think like we can do it again, the 51:32.420 --> 51:35.820 same, I just pick like your kind of user is managed like the Winters and like they're 51:35.820 --> 51:39.420 gonna probably pick you up this round, so like if like you go far over time, you're 51:39.420 --> 51:43.220 gonna attack two times, I think they're gonna go open area and I'm gonna put basement, 51:43.220 --> 51:47.140 I think they go open area like you can do the Winters, they shoot the attack again, 51:47.140 --> 51:49.140 I think you guys should go in the windows, 51:49.140 --> 51:51.140 because the guy in the kitchen 51:51.140 --> 51:53.140 can also try to play the C4, 51:53.140 --> 51:55.140 so like you play on him, 51:55.140 --> 51:57.140 and for basement guys, 51:57.140 --> 51:59.140 I think we actually could plant 51:59.140 --> 52:01.140 at the same time we were hitting the back, 52:01.140 --> 52:03.140 you just didn't have to plant. 52:03.140 --> 52:05.140 So like let's focus on these details, 52:05.140 --> 52:07.140 like these many things 52:07.140 --> 52:09.140 that make us lose the round, 52:09.140 --> 52:11.140 like also open area, 52:11.140 --> 52:13.140 we almost lose just because of the fuser, 52:13.140 --> 52:15.140 so let's duplicate properly who has the fuser 52:15.140 --> 52:18.260 who we're gonna plant there, you know, like who's gonna be alone in server, okay? 52:18.260 --> 52:20.180 So like make sure we have that tree code. 52:20.180 --> 52:22.100 I don't think this is gonna work again, bro. 52:22.100 --> 52:26.820 Like we rush because we're surprised that they have the goyos, like we just got them off guard, you know? 52:26.820 --> 52:28.500 They're gonna pop the goyos and think we're doing the same again. 52:28.500 --> 52:30.580 Like is better push not gonna work because we don't have the other goyos? 52:30.580 --> 52:32.660 Yeah, I know, I know. I'm just thinking what should we do, you know? 52:32.660 --> 52:33.380 The bend is so hard. 52:34.020 --> 52:38.420 Like we could like do some like horizontal push, I think. 52:38.420 --> 52:39.460 They have so much to think about. 52:39.460 --> 52:40.740 Bro, Ramile, you can think about it. 52:40.740 --> 52:42.100 They're gonna tell you before they get there. 52:42.100 --> 52:43.060 After we get there, okay? 52:43.060 --> 52:43.620 Yeah, okay. 52:43.620 --> 52:45.620 For the defences 52:47.180 --> 52:52.060 You want me to play the turbo to start and then do the take a tube thing or should I just do a sneak we're gonna say fast 52:52.060 --> 52:57.580 It's on that's him. Let's go. Yes. If they go for service. There's just play touch and 53:01.500 --> 53:04.580 Listen, please guys, I'm I'm I'm a bit swear. I know you just 53:05.460 --> 53:09.900 And plus one deep. That's it. The server guy is dead. If I have that shot, that's it. Let's go guys 53:09.900 --> 53:12.860 Just enjoy this game. Let's finish this shit so easy 53:13.620 --> 53:19.960 Let's go. 53:19.960 --> 53:23.700 Different vibes across the two teams, a little bit there, Parker. 53:23.700 --> 53:27.640 Calmness from dark confidence exuding from the VP side of things. 53:27.640 --> 53:31.240 And again, you can tell with a little bit of that information advantage, not showing 53:31.240 --> 53:34.480 this map, they've caught them off guard so far in this game. 53:34.480 --> 53:38.560 It's a loud VP get a 4-2 lead, and they feel good about being able to close out these next 53:38.560 --> 53:40.560 three rounds on the attack. 53:40.560 --> 53:44.360 I mean, uh, if only it were that simple, right? 53:44.360 --> 53:46.560 Okay, we're gonna flash the elevator and then we're gonna kill him. 53:46.560 --> 53:47.560 Wow. 53:47.560 --> 53:50.240 You should tell my teammates that, right? 53:50.240 --> 53:51.400 I wish it was that simple. 53:51.400 --> 53:56.480 No, I mean, nothing has really been simple about this matchup for G2 in particular, Jesse. 53:56.480 --> 54:02.000 It was a hard fought end of this series where they were finally able to pick up some much 54:02.000 --> 54:03.520 needed kills. 54:03.520 --> 54:09.440 They eclipsed their kill total in just round five, then they had in the first three rounds 54:09.440 --> 54:15.200 G2 averaging just under two Ks around at the halfway point of that first half. 54:15.200 --> 54:16.960 Maybe they just, maybe they're not early risers. 54:16.960 --> 54:20.280 There have been a couple teams that have very openly said we don't like playing the morning games. 54:20.280 --> 54:23.680 For some gamers, if you're staying up late, you're grinding, you're not sleeping. 54:24.560 --> 54:30.000 Maybe you come online at one, two o'clock once that particularly non-sponsored energy drink hits, 54:30.000 --> 54:31.720 or just coffee, I guess. 54:31.720 --> 54:34.320 So G2 finally setting into their groove. 54:34.320 --> 54:36.760 The one thing I will be looking out for once again are these numbers. 54:36.760 --> 54:44.420 G2 are a pretty good defending team, not as good as they are on attack, but VP is a very good attacking team on this map. 54:44.420 --> 54:53.380 Yeah, of course G2, they played 6 rounds earlier in this tournament defending on Bank, they won 4, they lost 2, if they can do that once again, they'll be headed to overtime when their opponents pick. 54:53.380 --> 55:03.540 That is frankly a good result here in a best of 3. You don't need to win your opponent's map pick, but if you can, they put you in a really strong position, so that'll be the goal for G2. 55:03.540 --> 55:07.980 Band out the Monty which is going to limit the options for Neko coming through on Virtus.pro 55:07.980 --> 55:13.020 He's played just a single attacking round since the tournament began not on a shield 55:13.020 --> 55:15.980 No player has a higher shield pick rate here at the tournament 55:16.140 --> 55:20.620 94% of rounds on a shield one way or another so expect to see a lot of that coming through from Neko today 55:20.620 --> 55:22.260 Monty is the most played operator as well 55:22.260 --> 55:26.660 So I mean now you got to flex somewhere else you can go to a Blitz but you can go to a Blackbeard 55:26.660 --> 55:27.780 They're all going to play very differently 55:27.780 --> 55:33.140 And I know that the average viewer might not know how a Monty ablits a few shields even. 55:33.140 --> 55:37.540 And the Blackbeard do play, but Blackbeard is going to give you, ooh, that's a rough one. 55:37.540 --> 55:41.300 Blackbeard is going to give you a bit more fragging potential and can be a more bona fide 55:41.300 --> 55:44.540 aggressive entry than a Monty or even a Blitz. 55:44.540 --> 55:46.700 Monty, you're usually not going to get a lot of kills. 55:46.700 --> 55:48.260 You reference both the King and Canadian. 55:48.260 --> 55:50.020 They're great examples of it. 55:50.020 --> 55:52.940 Most of their attacking rounds, they're going to play that operator and they're not ever 55:52.940 --> 55:54.500 going to pull out their gun. 55:54.500 --> 55:59.300 So, with Neko, he's gonna be a little bit more active in the kill department, I have to imagine. 55:59.300 --> 56:03.400 Or at very minimum, he'll be set up to do so, should he find himself in this situation. 56:03.400 --> 56:08.200 Yeah, Neko is not the most passive shield player. You will absolutely see him ADSing when he needs to. 56:08.200 --> 56:12.600 As is pretty common here in the shield meta, we're currently in Shiko, an early engagement. 56:12.600 --> 56:17.200 He deals a little bit of damage on the posh of the other side of things, but the candela should force him back through the hatch. 56:17.200 --> 56:22.600 Indeed, it does. An easy retreat from Shiko. Never ran any real danger there as we hit 90 seconds. 56:22.600 --> 56:24.600 Shaco's in a very quiet day. 56:24.600 --> 56:26.720 One thing as well to keep note of here, Jesse, 56:26.720 --> 56:29.240 is that Shaco historically struggles 56:29.240 --> 56:31.920 the deeper into attorney he goes. 56:31.920 --> 56:33.620 He'll farm the first couple rounds 56:33.620 --> 56:35.220 and still be a good player, 56:35.220 --> 56:37.480 but we don't often see him taking over games 56:37.480 --> 56:38.460 against tougher opponents. 56:38.460 --> 56:41.060 He has absolutely not taken over this game. 56:41.060 --> 56:42.100 He's sitting at two kills. 56:42.100 --> 56:43.620 The only player on the team board right now 56:43.620 --> 56:45.000 is Allymount on a support role. 56:45.000 --> 56:48.140 So Shaco needs some time in the lab to incubate, 56:48.140 --> 56:50.040 I suppose, as we now hit the one minute mark 56:50.040 --> 56:52.040 and everybody is still alive. 56:52.040 --> 56:53.760 Harborsing hasn't gone to plan for VP. 56:53.760 --> 56:55.280 They didn't get the small office hatch open. 56:55.280 --> 56:57.400 Actually, they did just at the end there with the Habana charge. 56:57.400 --> 56:58.200 So nicely done. 56:58.200 --> 57:01.400 All hatches open, even if it took every little bit of utility. 57:01.400 --> 57:03.760 The Kaikos slowed things down, but it hasn't prevented 57:03.760 --> 57:04.800 the entry from Virtus.Pro. 57:04.800 --> 57:06.280 45 seconds though, Parker. 57:06.280 --> 57:08.800 I'm looking at two nitrous tiles still being held by G2. 57:08.800 --> 57:10.920 This push is going to get messy. 57:10.920 --> 57:13.880 Didn't you say that G2 attacked this site? 57:13.880 --> 57:14.680 And guess what? 57:14.680 --> 57:15.240 It got messy. 57:15.240 --> 57:15.880 It got messy. 57:15.880 --> 57:18.560 Jesse, doing his degree in mesology 57:18.560 --> 57:21.360 over at the University of Alberta. 57:21.360 --> 57:22.960 Everybody's still at 30 seconds now. 57:22.960 --> 57:23.480 There we go. 57:23.480 --> 57:26.040 Benjamaster giving the first opportunity for Dan. 57:26.040 --> 57:27.360 He might have another on the Shikoh, 57:27.360 --> 57:28.920 and he will do just that. 57:28.920 --> 57:30.280 Easy enough for Dan, right? 57:30.280 --> 57:32.720 Pasha, the only casualty, now is sneaking through garage. 57:32.720 --> 57:35.840 Skye is looking to get in under the line of sight of G2. 57:35.840 --> 57:38.360 Ali Malin, the board, traded out immediately. 57:38.360 --> 57:39.880 VP back to the advantage. 57:39.880 --> 57:43.360 Rorik almost taken down as it's a 2v1. 57:43.360 --> 57:45.320 Messi is an understatement here. 57:45.320 --> 57:47.160 They cast out the last two members. 57:47.160 --> 57:48.560 Rorik will head for the hills. 57:48.560 --> 57:52.240 A massive round from Stompin' to save it for G2, 57:52.240 --> 57:55.480 and the gap between these teams is now just one round. 57:55.480 --> 57:58.280 A really scary push coming out from Virtus.pro Parker. 57:58.280 --> 58:01.560 It started so strong with Dan dropping the elevator hatch. 58:01.560 --> 58:03.120 You saw Doki going for, not Dokes, 58:03.120 --> 58:05.740 Benji going for a bit of a look there in the early round. 58:05.740 --> 58:07.880 You could see that they were a little bit concerned 58:07.880 --> 58:08.720 about that. 58:08.720 --> 58:10.320 I don't think they realized how many players 58:10.320 --> 58:11.320 were gonna hit the back. 58:11.320 --> 58:13.880 It got VP off to a very early start, 58:13.880 --> 58:15.760 but the reaction coming through 58:15.760 --> 58:17.360 from those late round players, 58:17.360 --> 58:22.240 It was the roommates, the friends, the travel compadres here headed to Saltlight City. 58:22.240 --> 58:26.840 Doki and Stompin that really locked things down here in the 2vx. 58:26.840 --> 58:30.800 They were able to work together so nicely on those critical anchor operators. 58:30.800 --> 58:34.440 And despite playing initially over on that server side, when they came back over to trade 58:34.440 --> 58:38.440 their teammates, they worked together beautifully and they got G2 the first defense. 58:38.440 --> 58:41.600 And again, it really does come down to time management, doesn't it? 58:41.600 --> 58:44.000 Hard breaching failed so early in the round. 58:44.000 --> 58:49.240 bought g2 quite a bit of time and sometimes 10 15 seconds hell sometimes 58:49.240 --> 58:53.680 even five seconds can make a massive difference in this game the amount of 58:53.680 --> 58:57.000 times that we see a last-minute clutch with the diffuse kick down and 58:57.000 --> 59:00.720 somebody hops on the counter to save like nine eight seconds with just a 59:00.720 --> 59:05.440 second despair is quite incredible so if vp's not able to manage their time well 59:05.440 --> 59:08.920 and g2 is able to blunt their momentum when they get into the building g2 is 59:08.920 --> 59:12.520 gonna set themselves up quite nicely and vp in some sense kind of enabled that 59:12.520 --> 59:16.200 played by not banning the Kaid. It's the most commonly banned operator here on 59:16.200 --> 59:19.480 bank for the defense at the very least, and they leave it open favoring the Clash 59:19.480 --> 59:23.560 and the Mira ban instead. Clash is obviously a favorite operator of Stomp, 59:23.560 --> 59:27.080 and we know how good he is on that op, and we see Al-Mal playing the Mira from 59:27.080 --> 59:30.640 time to time on this map as well, but it's still surprising not to see that 59:30.640 --> 59:35.360 critical electricity operator not taken off the board from Virtus.Pro could be a 59:35.360 --> 59:38.840 target for them after we hit rounds 9, but that'll be a conversation for later 59:38.840 --> 59:42.760 in this game. For now, they've got to find ways around it. The claw being used on the 59:42.760 --> 59:46.800 Kanto wall once again, so the problems that G2 faced opening that wall will continue to 59:46.800 --> 59:51.000 persist for a few feet. 59:51.000 --> 59:55.680 A reminder as we now settle in to round number 8, G2 trailing Virtus Pro by just a single 59:55.680 --> 01:00:00.480 round, three in a row. Now by G2's, they look to close this gap that the B-Stream is running 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:05.880 at this particular point in time, loce playing against Weibo Gaming, all elimination matches 01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:09.540 over on the B stream. If you are a hater, you go hate watch B 01:00:09.540 --> 01:00:11.820 Street. That's just how it works because you're going to see 01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:14.940 three teams go home here on the A stream. Every single match up 01:00:15.140 --> 01:00:18.100 will send one of these teams on to the main stage, which is 01:00:18.100 --> 01:00:20.940 currently being built just with an arms reach of our booth. We 01:00:20.940 --> 01:00:24.900 can see it take shape. Anticipating quite a crowd here 01:00:24.940 --> 01:00:28.460 on Friday to kick off the first day of the Salt Lake City 01:00:28.460 --> 01:00:32.940 Major and the first American major since Charlotte technically 01:00:32.940 --> 01:00:34.500 since Boston wasn't a major. 01:00:34.500 --> 01:00:35.500 Uh, yeah. 01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:36.500 Am I forgetting? 01:00:36.500 --> 01:00:37.500 Uh, I'm getting one. 01:00:37.500 --> 01:00:38.500 I believe? 01:00:38.500 --> 01:00:39.500 Atlanta? 01:00:39.500 --> 01:00:40.500 Atlanta. 01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:41.500 Atlanta. 01:00:41.500 --> 01:00:42.500 There you go. 01:00:42.500 --> 01:00:43.500 Technically not Atlanta. 01:00:43.500 --> 01:00:44.500 Take them to Loot and not the Deloot you're thinking of. 01:00:44.500 --> 01:00:45.500 Shaco lead off pick. 01:00:45.500 --> 01:00:46.500 He's starting to warm up. 01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:49.300 His third kill now at one point he was 0-4, 3-1. 01:00:49.300 --> 01:00:51.300 Since then, Dan of all people down. 01:00:51.300 --> 01:00:53.300 That's a hard breacher and that's one of the best players on VP. 01:00:53.300 --> 01:00:56.220 Yeah, I got some work done on the wall already, though, so they've got some tools to work 01:00:56.220 --> 01:00:57.220 with. 01:00:57.220 --> 01:00:58.220 These Keebas still providing a challenge. 01:00:58.220 --> 01:00:59.740 Pasha, rare miss from him. 01:00:59.740 --> 01:01:01.180 And now we're seeing the pressure onto Shaco. 01:01:01.180 --> 01:01:02.180 This Blitz staring him down. 01:01:02.180 --> 01:01:06.500 good enough distraction for a pick. Shaco picked off in a good crossfire, watching Neko, who's 01:01:06.500 --> 01:01:12.900 now under fire and self-gassed out by Alli now. Alli now also starting to warm up the jets. 01:01:13.780 --> 01:01:18.580 Skies and Pasha the last two standing for VP. 50 seconds to go and they're going to be walking 01:01:18.580 --> 01:01:22.100 into a hail of bullets. There's crossfires established by G2 all over the place and 01:01:22.100 --> 01:01:28.100 I'm straggled from Pasha. Toki will get them both and G2 ties the game. What a comeback for 01:01:28.100 --> 01:01:34.040 Straight now from G2 and I hope none of the fans turn the stream off after they saw them go down 4.0 Parker 01:01:34.040 --> 01:01:37.540 Because the comeback has been phenomenal not just answering on the attack 01:01:37.540 --> 01:01:43.120 But now back-to-back defense round wins and just being able to really isolate where VP want to enter from that time 01:01:43.120 --> 01:01:47.340 It was a very heavy push in from the square side. You saw that blitz finding some good support there 01:01:47.340 --> 01:01:53.820 I think they wanted an earlier pick on to Shaco. Shaco has been such a good Romer an early defense player here for G2 01:01:53.820 --> 01:01:57.340 He was playing quite passive though outside of stock with those Tiba Barriers 01:01:57.340 --> 01:02:02.500 He was playing the really long angle from on top of the long desk and sometimes that makes all the difference 01:02:02.500 --> 01:02:04.220 You know if he's playing a little bit more passive 01:02:04.220 --> 01:02:10.620 He slows down that push from VP and that's kind of back-to-back rounds now where the clock has applied more and more pressure to 01:02:10.620 --> 01:02:17.180 Virtus Pro this was a big criticism of their old roster that they were sometimes too slow in these critical moments that it took them too 01:02:17.180 --> 01:02:19.380 Long what try to execute onto their plan 01:02:19.380 --> 01:02:23.620 What I don't think that's been as true of the new lineup from Virtus Pro 01:02:23.620 --> 01:02:26.500 But today old habits are creeping back in yeah 01:02:26.500 --> 01:02:30.260 Yeah, unfortunately they just seem to be running against the wrong side of this map. 01:02:30.260 --> 01:02:32.200 We have flipped the script here. 01:02:32.200 --> 01:02:36.960 What we expected was G2 would run up the score, attacking, and then it would tighten up when 01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:38.200 they swapped sides. 01:02:38.200 --> 01:02:39.640 The opposite has happened. 01:02:39.640 --> 01:02:46.000 VP winning the first four rounds, G2 winning the next four rounds, not a back and forth 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:48.080 series by any stretch of the imagination. 01:02:48.080 --> 01:02:50.860 G2 called their timeout after the second round. 01:02:50.860 --> 01:02:51.860 It did not pay off. 01:02:51.860 --> 01:02:56.820 win they would lose the next two rounds and finally regain some footing as that 01:02:56.820 --> 01:03:00.980 first half came to a close and G2 are playing with a lot more confidence now I 01:03:00.980 --> 01:03:04.580 will say those first two rounds they were wandering in I think they took VP a 01:03:04.580 --> 01:03:09.400 bit for granted now they realize hey these guys are pretty good we need to 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.900 give them the respect they deserve they're playing tighter it's working 01:03:12.900 --> 01:03:16.900 out well the cantaloupe gets preached one more on with that perspective yeah 01:03:16.900 --> 01:03:20.580 that repel's always been a little bit awkward but it's fine I believe the wall 01:03:20.580 --> 01:03:23.940 has been opened up now so I'll have a bit of an angle to come through on the side of 01:03:23.940 --> 01:03:24.940 Virtus.Pro. 01:03:24.940 --> 01:03:30.500 Rorick down below trying to find these couple of players. 01:03:30.500 --> 01:03:32.540 The roam game is heavy from G2. 01:03:32.540 --> 01:03:36.180 Benjish, Shaco, Alamo all playing up above the bomb site leaving just two players to 01:03:36.180 --> 01:03:37.540 anchor down below. 01:03:37.540 --> 01:03:41.860 The logic bomb comes through but there is no movement on the side of G2 so Virtus.Pro 01:03:41.860 --> 01:03:42.860 just have to wait. 01:03:42.860 --> 01:03:44.380 They need to start forcing these entries. 01:03:44.380 --> 01:03:48.500 I think Neko will be the one to do it on the Blitz but still taking his time. 01:03:48.500 --> 01:03:49.500 It's back on the drone. 01:03:49.500 --> 01:03:51.820 He doesn't want to rush this roam clear, Parker. 01:03:51.820 --> 01:03:53.900 Neko being caught in multiple crossfires 01:03:53.900 --> 01:03:56.580 through both of these attacking rounds is a major issue. 01:03:56.580 --> 01:03:58.540 You very rightly pointed out 01:03:58.540 --> 01:04:00.900 that he's usually quite active in the kill department. 01:04:00.900 --> 01:04:03.220 Rorik, not Sol, but he picks off Shaco. 01:04:03.220 --> 01:04:05.020 There goes Neko, Jesse. 01:04:05.020 --> 01:04:07.380 He's not finding a lot of value on that shield. 01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:08.980 Ali Mal will pay for his crimes 01:04:08.980 --> 01:04:11.580 at the hands of Skies outside on Repel. 01:04:11.580 --> 01:04:13.540 And as we hit the halfway point around nine, 01:04:13.540 --> 01:04:15.180 VP has the numbers advantage 01:04:15.180 --> 01:04:18.420 and are looking to break this streak that G2 is on. 01:04:18.420 --> 01:04:22.300 Benja has not been drowned. He is set up for a free kill here if they don't spot him out. 01:04:22.300 --> 01:04:27.300 There is one player about to creep into his sight line, but if he's not watching for it, it could not go his way. 01:04:27.300 --> 01:04:29.660 Rorik technically is getting all these kills, by the way! 01:04:29.660 --> 01:04:33.660 Oh my goodness, down goes Skyster. Benja Master of the Dane now on the run. 01:04:33.660 --> 01:04:35.660 He'll pull out the CZ-75. 01:04:35.660 --> 01:04:38.860 And a date with Rorik who's heating up himself. 01:04:38.860 --> 01:04:40.860 There haven't been many aces here. 01:04:40.860 --> 01:04:44.260 Could we find one? No, Dan will take down Benja Master Rorik. 01:04:44.260 --> 01:04:46.060 Not credited with anything on that kill. 01:04:46.060 --> 01:04:53.660 leave Stompin in a 1v3 VP, looking like they're going to snap this streak of G2, four rounds 01:04:53.660 --> 01:04:59.100 in a row for the one-time, two-time world champions, take only one center, twice center 01:04:59.100 --> 01:05:03.700 of the G2 banner, down goes Pasha to Stompin, revolver out, and he's punished by Rorik with 01:05:03.700 --> 01:05:10.380 a 4k from one of the support-oriented players, VP, don't want G2 to lead, they can tie, but 01:05:10.380 --> 01:05:12.380 not lead as VP takes it back. 01:05:12.380 --> 01:05:17.140 big round from Roark, the 23 year old from Mordovia, Russia, and this is his first international 01:05:17.140 --> 01:05:20.960 event. So he kind of expects him to be a little bit slow starting, especially when you're 01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:25.640 up against big names like G2, but he had the gap that round Parker crept his way through 01:05:25.640 --> 01:05:30.580 the lobby up those main stairs and it wasn't being watched properly by the guys on G2. 01:05:30.580 --> 01:05:33.680 Whether they had some mutil there and they just didn't hear it, whether there was some 01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:37.400 information there that they didn't quite capitalize on or whether it was just a gap that he was 01:05:37.400 --> 01:05:40.880 actually able to spot and the defense just wasn't set up the way it was supposed to be 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.280 on the side of G2. There was that opportunity. Here we can watch it. Rourke entered this 01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:50.000 2 and 5 and he will end it I believe 6 and 5 on the Kill Fee total. This one, the Kill 01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:54.080 Fee doesn't show it as his, but he does get that frag there on the skies as well. 01:05:54.080 --> 01:05:58.480 And then Benja again, really threatening. He could have gotten 2 from that position Parker, 01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:02.320 but he just wasn't fast enough with that first frag and then gets caught out a little bit at 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.480 the end there. So really good stuff from Rourke. Stops the disaster play from G2, 01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:08.560 which could have spiraled this game out of control. 01:06:08.560 --> 01:06:12.720 That was me clapping because you did math on broadcast, which usually we are told not to do. 01:06:12.720 --> 01:06:16.240 I have a math degree Parker, I better be able to do simple stuff like that. 01:06:16.240 --> 01:06:19.280 Is that the stepping stone to get your mesology PhD? 01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:22.800 Yeah, that was required for the mesology. Yeah, there's a lot of math involved in it, 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:26.640 surprisingly. Of course, all the angles, all the components, the derivatives, the 01:06:26.640 --> 01:06:30.400 stats, graphs, percentages. Yeah, yeah, it's been complicated for sure. 01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:32.480 Quarterly numbers are in, you gotta add those in too. 01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:36.560 Always, you cannot forget the quarterlies. Geez, big mistake for some people. 01:06:36.560 --> 01:06:38.080 And one day you'll be an island donor. 01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:40.480 One day, with all that, with the ma- 01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:43.920 I don't know, not in a PhD. Maybe a Master's in MESOLOGY here. 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:44.480 Working on it. 01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:47.680 Well, last operator ban's now locked in. 01:06:47.680 --> 01:06:49.840 Lots of confidence that G2 was exhibiting. 01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:52.480 And honestly, not a terrible round from them. 01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:53.440 All things considered. 01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:55.920 I mean, we're gonna compare it to some of those earlier rounds, 01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:57.520 which were really quite pitiful for G2. 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:02.000 I was sitting and waiting out this VP assault now. 01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:05.280 Rounds have been significantly slower when VP on attack 01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:12.680 Once again, it goes back to your point. G2, only one round, where first blood came after the first 90 seconds. 01:07:12.680 --> 01:07:16.880 Here, every single one, except particularly the last one, is almost 90 seconds in. 01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:22.480 Everyone has been after the first 90 seconds, so much slower for VP, which we come to know, 01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:26.080 but if they're getting the job done and they're roam clearing effectively, they don't necessarily need to get kills. 01:07:26.080 --> 01:07:28.680 And G2 could also be playing a more sheltered style. 01:07:28.680 --> 01:07:31.480 Well, they definitely have been, but this round that won't be the case, Parker. 01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:35.240 bit more of an aggressive roam style coming out from G2, very different from round number 7 01:07:35.240 --> 01:07:39.480 with a hard anchor inside the site. Now there's some really heavy pressure inside of open area. 01:07:39.480 --> 01:07:43.480 You've got a little bit of C4s to play with, you've got a little bit of plant denial, but really 01:07:43.480 --> 01:07:49.080 they kind of have to get some pressure on the roam game. Hard breach was a bit of a problem for VP 01:07:49.080 --> 01:07:55.000 a couple rounds ago. It does not seem to be the issue here. Kaid still on the board, but not in 01:07:55.000 --> 01:08:00.120 the arsenal for G2. They will play a slowing, obscuring style of lineup. They've got the 01:08:00.120 --> 01:08:03.000 Tuber out of slow things down, Fender to disorient you. 01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:07.880 If Doki wants to go for a late flank, a backstab as it's now often referred to as by the community, 01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:12.120 he's on a good opportunity to do that if they don't want him to call the plant as we saw VP do. 01:08:12.120 --> 01:08:15.160 And right now Doki is disconnected from the overall execute. 01:08:15.160 --> 01:08:18.280 He's wasting time upstairs in open area and he manages to get away. 01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:23.720 So many times we see teams hold open area for the first 90 seconds, drop the moment and hits that. 01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:25.720 Doki got back to site at 125. 01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:29.720 Yeah, but usually we see teams do that when they've got a Chancho and it got lots of C4s. 01:08:29.720 --> 01:08:32.720 There is the smoke from Stompin, but he's being utilized here on the blue stairs, 01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:35.720 so this is going to be an earlier smoke play from Stompin as well. 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:39.720 The plant denial is not that good from G2, so what's the game plan to win this round? 01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.720 The stall is great, but that's the last talk to babe just used by Zac. 01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:47.720 Now he's pinned down with the hatch open on top of him too, so it's only a matter of time until he gets cleaned up. 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:48.720 Is it single Nitro cell? 01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:49.720 Yep. 01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:54.720 That's pretty much all you got to stop this plant in its tracks, and now Neko will menacingly see Stompin in this position. 01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:58.220 in this position wouldn't it be nice to have a gas canister at this point he's 01:08:58.220 --> 01:09:01.500 gonna get to sorry and it followed up on posh technically credited with the 01:09:01.500 --> 01:09:05.740 kill though Nako did so much work there Intel will be grabbed by Virtus Pro as 01:09:05.740 --> 01:09:10.540 we reach the final stretch of this 10th round there's doki now back in this 01:09:10.540 --> 01:09:15.940 familiar spot in gold calling maybe they've got the diffuse get tumbling 01:09:15.940 --> 01:09:19.140 down maybe they'll play the long-range angles and just hope for direct gun 01:09:19.140 --> 01:09:23.140 fights the razor bloats will buy some time bench out dueling damn there we go 01:09:23.140 --> 01:09:30.460 Long-range engagements with the DMRs that will ultimately work out he people have to get the job done without their statistical best player 01:09:30.540 --> 01:09:32.540 Now it's all up to Skye's as in the site 01:09:32.540 --> 01:09:38.020 There's posh it traded out Neko on the board to cheat you just as donkey and he slaughtered by Rorick 01:09:39.180 --> 01:09:41.820 VP wins the round and they moved to map point 01:09:42.500 --> 01:09:48.860 Textbooked siege coming out from Virtus Pro Parker it all goes according to plan again with how much time they still have on the clock for that 01:09:48.860 --> 01:09:52.860 Execute it was really simple for them. I got a little bit worried when Dan went down early 01:09:52.860 --> 01:09:57.740 He was a little bit distracted by that razor bloom that almost did a bit of damage coming through to Neko 01:09:57.740 --> 01:10:03.300 But you've got a shield planting with that shield on his back. You had the one nitro cell, but Rourke was on the Thatcher 01:10:03.300 --> 01:10:06.080 So even if that C4 came through it could have been EMP'd 01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:08.420 I believe that is what ended up happening midway through 01:10:08.620 --> 01:10:13.500 Benja also might have just gone down before he could toss that nitro and part of that had to come through from Pasha 01:10:13.620 --> 01:10:19.220 You saw how aggressive he was dropping into the middle of that bombsite while the plant was threatening to go down 01:10:19.220 --> 01:10:25.860 that really got that kill advantage in favor of Virtus Pro and so all of the pieces came together beautifully from VP 01:10:25.860 --> 01:10:28.940 And I'm just left wondering like where was the game plan for G2? 01:10:28.940 --> 01:10:34.340 Surely the entire round wasn't meant to just rely on that one nitro cell to win it for you 01:10:34.340 --> 01:10:39.660 It wasn't gonna be a strategy they were hoping for but there was no flanks coming through there was no tachanka being played 01:10:39.660 --> 01:10:42.220 There was no real commitment to the roam game either 01:10:42.220 --> 01:10:46.020 I thought maybe they just try to take earlier gunfights, but all of that wasn't present 01:10:46.020 --> 01:10:52.020 Well, now when you say that, I do agree that there was really no threat on the roam play, 01:10:52.020 --> 01:10:57.380 but if G2 structured a lot of that around getting an early pick, they thought VP would 01:10:57.380 --> 01:11:01.580 be quick, and they had Doki hiding inside of open area, maybe their idea was, we know 01:11:01.580 --> 01:11:05.260 these guys like to be a little quick with how they take open area, we were able to slow 01:11:05.260 --> 01:11:09.900 down their hard breach before, you had Benja and Doki both roaming, what if we get an 01:11:09.900 --> 01:11:13.220 opening pick or two, then we can just consolidate around the bombsite, and we don't need a Goya, 01:11:13.220 --> 01:11:17.500 We don't need it at Chonka, we don't need any of that stuff, but VP responded very well. 01:11:17.500 --> 01:11:20.240 They probably thought G2 did that last time. 01:11:20.240 --> 01:11:24.940 Let's play this slow, weight them out, force them to get back to the site with limited utility, 01:11:24.940 --> 01:11:27.740 and then we can just beat them with our gadgetry. 01:11:27.740 --> 01:11:30.480 That was the plan. VP did it masterfully. 01:11:30.980 --> 01:11:34.280 One way or another, G2 will have to be perfect these next two rounds. 01:11:34.280 --> 01:11:37.340 Parker, the twist drone is in deep, but it didn't find the electric claw, 01:11:37.340 --> 01:11:39.740 so this wallet from Janitor will stay closed. 01:11:39.740 --> 01:11:42.020 Remember, bombsite down below in open area. 01:11:42.020 --> 01:11:48.180 So, gonna be important to clear this roam game, but it's not the entire game here for Top Floor of Bank. 01:11:48.740 --> 01:11:51.080 Virtus.pro gonna slow things down once more. 01:11:51.080 --> 01:11:53.360 The Top Floor clear was very good last time, Parker. 01:11:53.360 --> 01:11:57.260 Despite Mistro and Benjamaster, they had a really good opportunity to get a couple of frags. 01:11:57.460 --> 01:12:02.060 Rorak was the MVP that time, creeping up the main stairs, but G2 will be ready for that. 01:12:02.060 --> 01:12:05.220 Goki is kind of near that position, so they shouldn't get away with it again. 01:12:05.220 --> 01:12:09.060 And they were able to punish Shaco from the spot relatively easily, Jesse. 01:12:09.060 --> 01:12:13.420 Shaco's playing a little bit safer now, not exposing himself to the door. 01:12:13.420 --> 01:12:18.060 Pasha has a very good idea of where he is, and a couple bullets being that will go away very quickly. 01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:21.560 Shaco surviving longer than we thought! 01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:26.260 Finally down by that printer window, and Neko will now appear. 01:12:26.260 --> 01:12:28.060 He might be able to secure this. 01:12:28.060 --> 01:12:33.060 Shaco creeping over towards the rest of G2, bleeding out, and will be retrieved by Ali Mal. 01:12:33.060 --> 01:12:36.760 So, a good attempt by Virtus.pro, and that honestly could have been a backbreaker for G2. 01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:41.360 Yeah, but if he's still got top 4 control, I don't mind this at all from VP, especially not with Dan. 01:12:41.360 --> 01:12:43.760 Just gambles again. Yeah, he gets those frags. 01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:45.160 Shaco caught off a little bit. 01:12:45.160 --> 01:12:49.760 4 and 9 now potentially will be his final stat line if his team can't clutch up this 4v5. 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.160 Long angles being held by Rorick out on the rappel. 01:12:52.160 --> 01:12:54.460 Benjo, good answer. That clears up the ram. 01:12:54.460 --> 01:12:56.660 That's that vert pressure that will be taken off the board. 01:12:56.660 --> 01:13:01.360 A lot of the job likely already done by the ram gadgets, but even still watch out for this flank. 01:13:01.360 --> 01:13:04.960 They're aware of it though. Really nice peek by Neko on the blitz. 01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:06.680 sends Doki running for the hills. 01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:09.480 They picked up Shaco because they thought he would help from an offense standpoint. 01:13:09.480 --> 01:13:11.180 It really depends on what Alimau does. There you go. 01:13:11.180 --> 01:13:14.180 Shaco had just taken over Lois' rated player on G2. 01:13:14.180 --> 01:13:15.920 Alimau will take that one back. 01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:20.820 Benjo with two, and suddenly the round looks imminently more winnable for G2. 01:13:21.820 --> 01:13:23.920 They just got to wait out the next 30 seconds. 01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:26.920 Not a lot of time for them to wait out, but there is a shield still on the board. 01:13:26.920 --> 01:13:29.160 Neko will drop. No real crossfire there. 01:13:29.160 --> 01:13:31.360 Stomp and slaughtering him, finding his second kill. 01:13:31.360 --> 01:13:35.760 and now it's the man in the middle legend, Rorick, who's able to capitalize here before. 01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:41.920 He has his hands full, 20 seconds to go, and I think he understands what's going to happen. 01:13:41.920 --> 01:13:45.360 Timeout called by VP, Stompin will seal the deal. 01:13:45.360 --> 01:13:48.160 Three kills for the youngest player here at the tournament, 01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:51.440 and G2 will start their comeback. 01:13:51.440 --> 01:13:56.240 One more round here in regulation as the teams now get to talk to their coaches. 01:13:56.240 --> 01:13:59.280 Yeah, that's a clinical Zach Lam round if I've ever seen one Parker. 01:13:59.280 --> 01:14:04.540 It's really clean from Stomp in just inside the bomb site bailing his team out of a bad situation that push was looking 01:14:04.760 --> 01:14:10.760 Devastating from Virtus Pro everything G2 tried failed Shaco went for a couple of swings all of them got shut down 01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:16.420 Don't he went for a flank up main stairs that got spotted out everything aggressive. They tried in that moment failed 01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:19.840 Except for Stomp in Stomp and found those picks in the mid round 01:14:19.840 --> 01:14:23.800 He was so clean with the TCS G hit every head that was required of them 01:14:23.800 --> 01:14:30.200 11 and 8 after that round. He was, I believe, slightly negative, maybe even coming into that round. 01:14:30.200 --> 01:14:35.080 But of course, he's the one player on this team who has yet to go negative on any given map, 01:14:35.080 --> 01:14:40.680 even when they've been losing here at the 6th Major. So good to see Stomping continuing to be consistent. 01:14:40.680 --> 01:14:44.760 Worst game was 5-5. That's that line against DarkZero on this map. 01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:50.360 If you recall, he was 8-8 to start the round. Those 3 kills propel him now to the top of the leaderboard. 01:14:50.360 --> 01:14:54.720 4G2 in both EPS in KV and in total kills. 01:14:54.720 --> 01:14:57.320 So it's not in both, in all three technically. 01:14:57.320 --> 01:14:58.520 It has been the Stombin show. 01:14:58.520 --> 01:15:01.360 And as you pointed out, he's a very good late round player. 01:15:01.360 --> 01:15:03.200 We call them exit frags. 01:15:03.200 --> 01:15:06.040 Some regular sports fans will know it is garbage time 01:15:06.040 --> 01:15:08.400 when you're in the twilight moments of a round 01:15:08.400 --> 01:15:09.440 and you pick up a couple kills. 01:15:09.440 --> 01:15:10.760 Sometimes they matter. 01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:12.480 Sometimes they don't. 01:15:12.480 --> 01:15:14.560 If you're a guy like, you know, who 01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:16.440 was a Breeday in the Falcons match the other day, 01:15:16.440 --> 01:15:18.400 had something like over half of his kills 01:15:18.400 --> 01:15:21.240 were completely impactless when he was last alive. 01:15:21.240 --> 01:15:22.240 It does happen. 01:15:22.240 --> 01:15:25.120 And that is why you need to treat kills in KD 01:15:25.120 --> 01:15:28.080 with a bit more awareness. 01:15:28.080 --> 01:15:29.840 Because 11 kills doesn't necessarily 01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:30.920 mean you've been dominating rounds. 01:15:30.920 --> 01:15:33.040 11 kills might be, hey, I'm in a 1v5 01:15:33.040 --> 01:15:34.720 and I kill three people three times. 01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:35.800 That's nine kills. 01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:36.600 You still lose the round. 01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:37.160 Doesn't matter. 01:15:37.160 --> 01:15:37.400 Right. 01:15:37.400 --> 01:15:39.560 And that's not to say that the kills last round were impactful. 01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:39.920 They were so important. 01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:40.080 No, no, no. 01:15:40.080 --> 01:15:40.880 Very past-true. 01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:41.400 Of course. 01:15:41.400 --> 01:15:43.240 But yeah, sometimes that is the case. 01:15:43.240 --> 01:15:45.400 Coming into this matchup, Alamount, Stolphin actually 01:15:45.400 --> 01:15:47.440 had the exact same number of kills 01:15:47.440 --> 01:15:49.680 and the exact same number of deaths. 01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:51.680 This game, that's not been the case of course, 01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:53.240 but that doesn't mean that they're not both having 01:15:53.240 --> 01:15:55.080 a big impact on this matchup. 01:15:55.080 --> 01:15:57.240 Alamo is playing his role as an IGL, 01:15:57.240 --> 01:15:58.520 it's a bit more progressive player. 01:15:58.520 --> 01:16:01.160 Stompens is holding things down in the late round. 01:16:01.160 --> 01:16:03.280 Sometimes Stompens' worst games will come when G2 01:16:03.280 --> 01:16:04.880 is just dominating because Stompens 01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:06.880 is not as required in those moments. 01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:09.000 He is the guy who's gonna be last alive, 01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:11.400 the last line of defense, and if the front line of defense, 01:16:11.400 --> 01:16:13.680 if Doki and Shaco and Benja are all farming, 01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:15.600 then sometimes you don't need Stompens to pop off, 01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:17.320 but this game he's been required. 01:16:17.320 --> 01:16:23.320 Thank you for the clarification there, lastly I want is 100 million angry stalker fans and my DMs yelling things at me, so... 01:16:25.820 --> 01:16:29.320 They go back to the basement, Parker. This is a bit of an interesting choice by G2, 01:16:29.320 --> 01:16:33.320 deciding that even though it didn't work for them last time, they want to try it once more, and again, 01:16:33.320 --> 01:16:38.320 the game plan's kind of even been more aggressive. They've really been wanting to get into this roam game. 01:16:38.320 --> 01:16:43.320 They have to actually fight up here on the roam. If they give up this map control with 90 seconds still to go, 01:16:43.320 --> 01:16:46.160 They're only going to play with 1c4, that won't be enough. 01:16:46.160 --> 01:16:47.960 They have to get aggressive here in the early round. 01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:50.560 If they don't want VP, just go for another clean execute 01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:52.760 because the game plan is the same for Virtus.pro. 01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:54.160 They've got the shield, they've got the Thatcher, 01:16:54.160 --> 01:16:57.040 they've got the Capitao, they've got great tools to make an execute. 01:16:57.040 --> 01:17:00.200 You have to stop this push before it gets going, 01:17:00.200 --> 01:17:02.800 but so far they haven't been finding their marks. 01:17:02.800 --> 01:17:05.520 Yeah, G2 really running with a similar lineup, 01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:08.880 but it's VP only making the change on Pasha. 01:17:08.880 --> 01:17:11.280 All three attacks on this bomb site for VP. 01:17:11.280 --> 01:17:15.080 and Pasha has played a different operator from Ying over to Dukami now to Capitao. 01:17:15.080 --> 01:17:19.480 So Pasha really the flex here, but the other four locked in, that is vintage Verna's growth. 01:17:19.480 --> 01:17:22.280 Play the same operators every single time, win or lose, 01:17:22.280 --> 01:17:24.680 and your whole structure will revolve around that. 01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:27.480 Well the utility's been a little bit better, I'll say, from G2. 01:17:27.480 --> 01:17:30.580 Inside the site, this is going to be another 5v5 messy execute, 01:17:30.580 --> 01:17:34.080 but you've got Dreadmines from Shaco, you've got these storm traps coming through from Alamau. 01:17:34.080 --> 01:17:38.280 There are tools they can play around, but it's still going to be heavily favorited for VP. 01:17:38.280 --> 01:17:42.980 Maybe not heavily, but I would give them the edge with this Capitao, with this Sophia, with this Thatcher. 01:17:42.980 --> 01:17:47.160 The later that this goes, the more I like VP's chances, they clear Stomp it out of this position. 01:17:47.820 --> 01:17:54.220 Arguably, just about as successful as that Blue Hold was before. It was kind of the undoing for G2, their Achilles heel in this lineup. 01:17:54.220 --> 01:17:58.180 And now, Doki is trapped inside of Server, burning alive. 01:17:58.180 --> 01:18:03.180 They cook him into a position where he has to get out of there and has now trapped himself in the dirt tunnel. 01:18:03.180 --> 01:18:07.120 But they can just isolate him, Jesse. They don't even need to go from, let him languish in there. 01:18:07.120 --> 01:18:14.540 Down goes Vengeant, Naikou would join, Doki now in the ground, Virtus.Pro sinking their teeth into this G2 defense. 01:18:15.200 --> 01:18:22.140 Shiko and Alimao, the last two standing, usually having Shiko as one of the last two, is confidence inspiring. 01:18:22.480 --> 01:18:25.140 But Shiko's had a pretty rough map so far. 01:18:26.420 --> 01:18:32.200 They call upon their heroes when you need them most, and now Shiko will need to clutch out in a 1v4 VP, have him tracked! 01:18:32.360 --> 01:18:35.680 Dan gets the final kill, and Virtus.Pro win the map! 01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:42.680 One map away from being just the third team to qualify for main stage on Friday. 01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:45.680 You could look up a strap, look up perfect basement attacks on Bank, 01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:49.680 and they would just show you those couple of rounds from VP beautifully done. 01:18:49.680 --> 01:18:52.680 Will G2 win their map? We'll find out after this break. 01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:37.680 You 01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:52.820 Well, the old adage in sports is you're never in trouble until you lose at home. 01:25:52.820 --> 01:25:56.960 G2 somehow find themselves in trouble while not losing at home. 01:25:56.960 --> 01:26:00.800 Now G2 is going to go to their map pick and if they do lose at home, that's it. 01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:01.800 Virtus. 01:26:01.800 --> 01:26:02.800 Pro becomes our third team. 01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:04.800 Well, I guess that totally depends on what's going on over there. 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:07.680 combination game stream. Oh, yeah, that's true. Never mind. So 01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:09.680 Virtus Pro will be, see, thanks. That's why he's here. 01:26:10.160 --> 01:26:14.120 Virtus Pro will be the third team to qualify if they take G2's 01:26:14.120 --> 01:26:17.440 map. G2 obviously will now need to do the reverse sweep and make 01:26:17.440 --> 01:26:22.520 it through Chalet and onward, or else G2 will play yet another 01:26:22.520 --> 01:26:25.720 best of three tomorrow, which will be both a joint elimination 01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:26.800 and qualification game. 01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:29.520 Indeed it will Parker and it's not going to be an easy task for 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.320 Virtus Pro. Obviously map one was quite close between these two 01:26:32.320 --> 01:26:36.240 teams, but Shal-A is a map that's been rare to see from VP. 01:26:36.240 --> 01:26:39.920 This would have been the decider map in the EML finals 01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:42.760 when these two teams met, but it wasn't played 01:26:42.760 --> 01:26:44.720 because it was a 2-0 for G2. 01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:47.080 And because it wasn't played, Virtus.Pro have not played 01:26:47.080 --> 01:26:49.800 Shal-A once since forming this roster. 01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:52.520 We have no idea what they're going to look like on Shal-A. 01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:55.920 G2 played it just 24 hours ago and twisted minds, 01:26:55.920 --> 01:26:57.120 and they got a win. 01:26:57.120 --> 01:27:01.240 They did, and I will say, G2 fans, here is your copium. 01:27:01.240 --> 01:27:04.960 When G2 lost Twisted Mines map yesterday, 01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:07.120 Twisted Mines blew them out of the water. 01:27:07.120 --> 01:27:09.560 I believe it was a 7-2, if gallery serves correctly. 01:27:09.560 --> 01:27:13.320 So at least you pushed Virtus.Pro to the brink on their map. 01:27:13.320 --> 01:27:17.160 Now, granted, if you lose all of your games 5-7, 01:27:17.160 --> 01:27:18.940 you can be proud of your result, 01:27:18.940 --> 01:27:20.280 but you're still ultimately not winning. 01:27:20.280 --> 01:27:23.480 So the goal here for G2, dominate on Chalet, 01:27:23.480 --> 01:27:26.340 show that Bank was really just a stylistic difference 01:27:26.340 --> 01:27:28.100 on a map that your opponent knows better. 01:27:28.100 --> 01:27:29.720 That's presumably why they picked it, 01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:33.620 and then settle the score on-boarder because that is your only path forward. 01:27:33.620 --> 01:27:38.620 You lose Chalet, you go into tomorrow's matches with elimination and qualification on the line in Birders Pro. 01:27:38.620 --> 01:27:41.420 Ultimately, gets revenge for the EML finals. 01:27:41.420 --> 01:27:46.820 Azami and Mira were the two operators banned by G2 yesterday versus Twisted Minds. 01:27:46.820 --> 01:27:50.920 When they were on the attack, they will start much the same with Azami being removed. 01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:54.720 That is classic Chalet. It would be rare to see this map with her in it. 01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:57.620 But Mira not going to be removed like before. 01:27:57.620 --> 01:28:10.200 instead thorn the operator chosen to be deleted. That is a powerful up here. It's guys's most played defensive operator here at the Salt Lake City major. So a little bit of a target band, perhaps towards the Frenchman on 01:28:10.200 --> 01:28:23.120 Vertus Pro. On the other side, it is snake and grim to be removed. That snake has been played really well by Benjamaster in particular here at the major. And one of the things that when you think of chalet pops to mind is how often defenders want to take 01:28:23.120 --> 01:28:26.920 Engagements through windows if you are looking for somebody over at let's say bathroom 01:28:26.920 --> 01:28:33.580 Yep, which is where Naco is or if you look over towards big window or you look over towards balcony from potentially somebody playing 01:28:33.580 --> 01:28:36.580 The chimney position because they can also cover library 01:28:36.780 --> 01:28:40.740 You're gonna want to know where they're looking because if you want to vault in a window 01:28:40.740 --> 01:28:45.740 Which is usually the way to get into the top floor on chalet. You don't want somebody staring in your direction 01:28:45.740 --> 01:28:50.440 You are vulnerable you are exposed snake is amazing operator for not only finding Intel 01:28:50.440 --> 01:28:54.560 but where they are looking, he is a terrific solo up, 01:28:54.560 --> 01:28:56.760 but he's also really good at feeding Intel 01:28:56.760 --> 01:28:59.760 to the rest of the team, particularly aggressive shields. 01:28:59.760 --> 01:29:02.080 So taking that out of action on a map like Chalet, 01:29:02.080 --> 01:29:03.520 excellent decision by Virtus Pro, 01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:05.600 and of course, it handicaps one of the players 01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:07.160 on G2 in the process. 01:29:07.160 --> 01:29:09.880 Jesse, I believe they called that a win-win in the business. 01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:11.720 Yeah, you'll absolutely take that, of course, 01:29:11.720 --> 01:29:13.800 geared through the off-band phase. 01:29:13.800 --> 01:29:15.320 With Yuzami banned out too, 01:29:15.320 --> 01:29:16.600 you're gonna go to the next best thing, 01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:18.080 you're gonna bring the castle out here, 01:29:18.080 --> 01:29:19.440 that's what Pasha decided to pick 01:29:19.440 --> 01:29:22.800 for our first round on the top floor defense of Chalet. 01:29:22.800 --> 01:29:24.380 He'll be setting those up around site 01:29:24.380 --> 01:29:27.040 and then going for a bit of a roam away from his utility. 01:29:27.040 --> 01:29:29.920 Down here, currently on the bottom floor alongside Skies, 01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:31.720 could be looking to get somewhat aggressive 01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:32.760 here on this side of the map, 01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:35.600 especially if G2 want to enter through this side. 01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:37.600 Currently they've got players all around the place. 01:29:37.600 --> 01:29:39.560 Bench is close to site on that balcony. 01:29:39.560 --> 01:29:41.260 You've got Doki not too far either. 01:29:41.260 --> 01:29:44.640 This could be a fast move if G2 were feeling it. 01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:45.480 Yeah, there we go. 01:29:45.480 --> 01:29:47.200 There's the vault out. 01:29:47.200 --> 01:29:48.640 Good read on that one. 01:29:48.640 --> 01:29:50.760 down goes Doki, 01:29:50.760 --> 01:29:54.400 Lynx did an excellent job talking about this operator 01:29:54.400 --> 01:29:58.200 of Striker on Chalet, and why these recruits 01:29:58.200 --> 01:29:59.920 do get played so often. 01:29:59.920 --> 01:30:02.440 I recommend you go back and listen to the casting 01:30:02.440 --> 01:30:03.600 for the phase plan matchup, 01:30:03.600 --> 01:30:06.400 because they do love this operator KDS in particular, 01:30:06.400 --> 01:30:08.480 a very high value jack of all trades off, 01:30:08.480 --> 01:30:10.480 and in Doki's hands, he can do a lot of work with it. 01:30:10.480 --> 01:30:12.360 He will obviously be removed, 01:30:12.360 --> 01:30:14.440 and that's also the case that will need to be retrieved, 01:30:14.440 --> 01:30:15.280 Jesse. 01:30:15.280 --> 01:30:16.160 Yeah, so since that's a baffler, 01:30:16.160 --> 01:30:18.280 nobody's over there really at the moment to go pick it up, 01:30:18.280 --> 01:30:19.660 But at least it's outside the building. 01:30:19.660 --> 01:30:20.980 It should be recoverable. 01:30:20.980 --> 01:30:22.580 You just got to spend some time. 01:30:22.580 --> 01:30:24.020 Shai go kind of in that direction, 01:30:24.020 --> 01:30:25.340 but not going for it immediately. 01:30:25.340 --> 01:30:28.300 This has kind of been a thorn in their side for G2, 01:30:28.300 --> 01:30:31.020 because it was clear they wanted to maybe poke aggressively. 01:30:31.020 --> 01:30:33.500 But unfortunately, they had to rain things back 01:30:33.500 --> 01:30:35.340 and go over towards this side of the map instead. 01:30:35.340 --> 01:30:37.380 But Jesse Thorn's banned. 01:30:37.380 --> 01:30:37.780 Thank you. 01:30:37.780 --> 01:30:39.820 Yep, yeah, I could tell that one was coming. 01:30:39.820 --> 01:30:41.220 The moment that he, by the way, Chad, 01:30:41.220 --> 01:30:43.900 the moment that he said thorn in the side, 01:30:43.900 --> 01:30:46.420 he made a gesture, because he knew exactly what was coming. 01:30:46.420 --> 01:30:47.780 That's payback for the Maverick comment 01:30:47.780 --> 01:30:52.420 the other day when you actually looked up if they played Maverick or not when I use that term so yeah 01:30:53.060 --> 01:30:57.300 uh rora could take some serious damage over by piano but that was really all g2 could muster 01:30:57.300 --> 01:31:01.940 on this attack here of chalet they're still outside of the building they might struggle with that snake 01:31:01.940 --> 01:31:06.340 bank as we talked about they will have to rely an awful lot on that demos someone just ran over 01:31:06.340 --> 01:31:10.260 that a fuse kit but didn't pick it up he's leading it on the ground benjaminster slaughters dan but 01:31:10.260 --> 01:31:16.020 there's two to answer from vp shaco on the board far earlier than we saw on bank the two newest 01:31:16.020 --> 01:31:22.940 members of G2 will now work arm-in-arm to try to port two of the best players from the last map on VP and Pasha 01:31:23.260 --> 01:31:24.640 Well, he doesn't miss now 01:31:24.640 --> 01:31:30.540 It's up to Benj on a single point of HP Skye sends this one away and VP will start off on shell a with a victory 01:31:30.540 --> 01:31:35.220 Yeah, it's a beautiful round from birds pro park where they get aggressive at multiple different points throughout that round 01:31:35.220 --> 01:31:38.660 Of course, there's the runout which starts things off so cleanly for VP 01:31:38.660 --> 01:31:43.740 But even in the late round it's little swings from birds pro that are making those gunfights go their way 01:31:43.740 --> 01:31:47.460 They're not just sitting in their site letting G2 make the push that they want to go for instead 01:31:47.460 --> 01:31:54.520 It's aggression coming out particularly from Pasha and that's always been his role on this team since joining the squad years ago 01:31:54.520 --> 01:31:59.780 He's been the one aggressive member on the squad now that they've changed their identity a little bit 01:31:59.780 --> 01:32:02.220 You see more that aggression from the other players as well 01:32:02.220 --> 01:32:04.340 Skies likes to get aggressive of course from time to time 01:32:04.340 --> 01:32:09.220 We've seen how good he can be starting off maps just a few hours ago a few minutes ago even 01:32:09.220 --> 01:32:15.380 But it was really this aggressive play that I think halted G2 and caught them off a little bit where they didn't expect this file of play coming 01:32:15.380 --> 01:32:16.380 Up from VP 01:32:16.380 --> 01:32:21.700 Shelle is a map where you have to be aggressive where you have to get active on the defense if you sit still with all those 01:32:21.700 --> 01:32:26.020 Windows opened up with all the pressure the attackers can take you're not gonna find success with it 01:32:26.020 --> 01:32:27.780 It's one of the most attacker side of maps in the pool 01:32:27.780 --> 01:32:31.300 But VP they play really aggro and they shut that down before it gets started 01:32:31.580 --> 01:32:35.260 To your point one of the most attacker side of maps in the pool, but not here 01:32:35.260 --> 01:32:41.220 Oh clubhouse and bank at the highest attacker win rates so far everybody else defender right now things have flipped out 01:32:41.220 --> 01:32:42.300 I keep in mind 01:32:42.300 --> 01:32:48.420 Bank shall a have always been really favorable to the attackers and my eyesight always says shall a is really good for the attackers 01:32:48.420 --> 01:32:50.420 But Jesse something is 01:32:51.420 --> 01:32:56.480 You know that's like three or four maps. Well, I mean the most played map was bank at eight plays 01:32:56.480 --> 01:33:00.840 I'm just gonna start we're still we're still going through that. I mean, you know, so I mean it serves my purpose 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:03.480 So I'm gonna use the data to mine. 01:33:03.480 --> 01:33:05.440 What do they say there's lies, damn lies and statistics? 01:33:05.440 --> 01:33:07.600 Well Parker, the purpose for G2 is gonna be a rush. 01:33:07.600 --> 01:33:09.520 We've got a blitz, we've got a thinker, we've got a lion. 01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:12.480 This is about to go really crazy and jumping begins. 01:33:12.480 --> 01:33:15.240 And the Fenrir will give some intel. 01:33:15.240 --> 01:33:17.560 So while I get away, Skye's blinded out. 01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:19.480 Next one in the line of sight is Pasha. 01:33:19.480 --> 01:33:21.120 Far back away. 01:33:21.120 --> 01:33:23.120 Alley Mountain not in a position to contest there. 01:33:23.120 --> 01:33:25.400 Does not want to gamble his life on an ADS. 01:33:25.400 --> 01:33:27.400 Lest he get killed by a better shot. 01:33:27.400 --> 01:33:29.560 And honestly, with the way Pasha's been shooting today, 01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:32.140 I would not want to gamble a one we won against him either now 01:33:32.140 --> 01:33:38.860 Maybe a bit of a reset as e1d's will go off a gas canister tossed out in response by VP to try and slow this down 01:33:38.860 --> 01:33:43.260 And there's still two minutes left in the round. Yeah, I'll now got in but he's kind of alone now on these stairs 01:33:43.500 --> 01:33:48.220 Unfortunately the think of behind him Doki wasn't able to follow him up and now Pasha holding his crossfire 01:33:48.220 --> 01:33:53.700 It's gonna make it really awkward for Doki to actually get in and support Alamo all by himself now on the shield 01:33:53.700 --> 01:33:56.980 There's nobody up there and piano for him to fight with but even still this is dangerous 01:33:56.980 --> 01:34:00.900 And then ego peek by Dan out duels, Benjamin's turn now the shield is gone 01:34:00.900 --> 01:34:05.700 Alley now lived a little bit longer than we thought Shaco off the board to these castle barricades 01:34:06.180 --> 01:34:10.340 They've come back to haunt this g2 team. They were tough to deal with on bank now 01:34:10.340 --> 01:34:17.740 They're proving to be quite an obstacle for g2 on shall a just reached the halfway point of the round and five players left 01:34:17.740 --> 01:34:23.500 Make that four don't do the LMG in hand. You don't see that every day and it's uh, what is it? 01:34:23.500 --> 01:34:29.100 Operation outbreak, now remaining is Lyon and Finca, the last two standing operands for G2. 01:34:29.100 --> 01:34:32.600 Yeah, of course, back to this 2VX situation. Stompin and Doki know this position. 01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:36.700 They were so good on bank basements just in the last map, playing in that 2VX clutch. 01:34:36.700 --> 01:34:39.900 They'll have to do it once again. They've got top floor control more or less, 01:34:39.900 --> 01:34:42.700 but they know about Neko's position inside of piano. 01:34:42.700 --> 01:34:46.900 The two defenders are split up, Parker, but they could go for a deadly pinch at any moment. 01:34:46.900 --> 01:34:50.400 No utility whatsoever other than a proximity alarm. 01:34:50.400 --> 01:34:54.880 I don't think that's really gonna play much of a factor here with the time being what it is 01:34:54.880 --> 01:34:58.560 I mean, who knows maybe if they are able to get one of those kills they can use it for some information 01:34:58.560 --> 01:35:02.900 But VP are a team that very much like violence. They might just go straight to blows 01:35:04.040 --> 01:35:06.060 Stop it in doki don't have any drones remaining 01:35:06.060 --> 01:35:11.480 They have absolutely no intel to go off of can't say the same for this VP squad as you can see the dead players 01:35:11.480 --> 01:35:14.840 Cycling through the cams to give information to their teammates 01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:19.560 Rourke and Neko now, just waiting out this G2 offense. 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:24.840 Out goes the final Adreno surge, Doki walks in, it's his third, and he'll be in the showdown against Neko. 01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:30.840 Getting the Fuse Kid down, but Doki's got plenty of time, Doki's fully committed to this one, and he gets killed by Neko. 01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:33.340 Did you not hear the castle coming? 01:35:33.340 --> 01:35:37.340 VP start off just like they did on Bank 2-0. 01:35:37.340 --> 01:35:40.340 Pros don't fake Parker, but sometimes they maybe should. 01:35:40.340 --> 01:35:46.300 That 1v1 not going Doki's way. He wanted to stick that plant. Felt like he was in a good spot for it 01:35:46.300 --> 01:35:48.820 and certainly Neko had to move in order to stop that plant. 01:35:48.820 --> 01:35:54.320 But it's really nice there in the 1v2 to be able to clutch up for the side of VP Neko once again. 01:35:54.320 --> 01:36:01.120 The hard support IGL of this team. Everybody else considered a flex position, but Neko is the guy who needs to just sit on site. 01:36:01.460 --> 01:36:05.700 Sometimes maybe the the stomp end of VP is so impactful in the late rounds. 01:36:05.700 --> 01:36:09.220 really good round coming in here after Warwick goes down he's put in a 01:36:09.220 --> 01:36:13.020 difficult position but he isolates his kills he gets these frags and I want to 01:36:13.020 --> 01:36:17.060 credit VP as well in the early game too Parker because that rush was so scary but 01:36:17.060 --> 01:36:20.660 it was good play from guys like Pasha to be able to shut down that play only 01:36:20.660 --> 01:36:24.580 letting the Blitz through made the push a little awkward for G2 and it forced 01:36:24.580 --> 01:36:28.820 them to go for this kind of ridiculous 2v2 execute that didn't really favor them 01:36:28.820 --> 01:36:34.420 even in the long run. Now while Chalet might not at this event be Attacker 01:36:34.420 --> 01:36:38.100 favorite, it is still a very favorable map across a bunch of regions for kickoff, so 01:36:38.100 --> 01:36:41.860 obviously these can change up here, but why I don't think this will skew towards the attackers 01:36:41.860 --> 01:36:47.060 is ultimately the win rates for these two teams. Both of these teams seem to like this 01:36:47.060 --> 01:36:53.220 map and they both are far more dominant defending. 62% of the rounds, one on defense by Virtus 01:36:53.220 --> 01:36:58.940 Pro, or rather of the defending rounds for his Pro was 162 of them, G2 of 155. Both of 01:36:58.940 --> 01:37:03.900 their attacking win rates below 50%. I would say again on VP is different roster, so it's 01:37:03.900 --> 01:37:05.460 It's hard to type into those as well. 01:37:05.460 --> 01:37:08.140 I mean, that's only over the last six months, six to eight months. 01:37:08.140 --> 01:37:12.500 And of course, it's always going to be tough to do stats when there was so much upheaval in the comp scene. 01:37:12.500 --> 01:37:19.100 Yeah, both these teams making big roster moves, of course, over the offseason after the sixth invitational G2, a huge acquisition of... 01:37:19.100 --> 01:37:20.100 Benja. 01:37:20.100 --> 01:37:24.700 But that was a big one too, but I was going to say, Shiko, people forget about it. 01:37:24.700 --> 01:37:30.100 Tomato-Tamato, both great players that were acquired by G2 in the offseason, VP, of course, huge moves as well. 01:37:30.100 --> 01:37:32.740 Mako, Roark, and Skye's all coming onto this team. 01:37:32.740 --> 01:37:35.060 So lots of movements in the offseason. 01:37:35.060 --> 01:37:38.180 This is their first real test at an international level. 01:37:38.180 --> 01:37:39.620 That trick will not be fast enough 01:37:39.620 --> 01:37:41.260 so the wall gets opened up for G2. 01:37:41.260 --> 01:37:42.300 They did increase the speed 01:37:42.300 --> 01:37:43.780 at which the electrification happens. 01:37:43.780 --> 01:37:44.740 Good points, they did. 01:37:44.740 --> 01:37:46.420 But it was not quick enough 01:37:46.420 --> 01:37:48.540 and it looked like when it was thrown by Dan, 01:37:48.540 --> 01:37:50.220 he actually missed the first radius 01:37:50.220 --> 01:37:51.420 and had to pick it back up again 01:37:51.420 --> 01:37:52.780 and go for a second attempt. 01:37:52.780 --> 01:37:54.540 Had he committed to that first one and nailed it, 01:37:54.540 --> 01:37:56.740 I actually think that wall would have remained closed. 01:37:56.740 --> 01:37:58.900 Doki with the leadoff pick on DePasha. 01:37:58.900 --> 01:38:12.900 Doki with 4 kills. I don't know how he's amassed such a high kill total, so quietly, especially when he was the first death back in round number 1, but having the Scots can do well is always a key to success for G2, and he started off as well as he can. 01:38:12.900 --> 01:38:20.900 Now it's a little awkward. Gajin and Nitro's nice on the side of G2. They still don't have much control here on this map. Despite the man advantage, and that will get lost as well. 01:38:20.900 --> 01:38:24.340 Oh, Laura, great shot in a Benja for the head shot will make things even at four. 01:38:24.340 --> 01:38:29.300 And now these top floor players have to make a decision for VP at what point do you give this up, if at all? 01:38:30.180 --> 01:38:32.180 He's gonna worm through his leg. 01:38:33.100 --> 01:38:33.900 Sure. 01:38:33.900 --> 01:38:36.100 Mali Mal and Shagal getting very familiar. 01:38:37.460 --> 01:38:40.660 Algos pocket EMPs, a Thatcher EMP will go as well. 01:38:40.660 --> 01:38:43.940 This is all to slow down a potential nitro cell that could be thrown out. 01:38:43.940 --> 01:38:47.100 As you can see, there are none available for VP. Info is also gone. 01:38:47.100 --> 01:38:52.240 so any bulletproofs that might be up of the two that were placed by VP will not be able to give them any information. 01:38:52.240 --> 01:38:56.800 I fear that they used all this utility to get Shaco in, but the Diffuse Kit still has not gone down. 01:38:56.800 --> 01:39:01.140 Yeah, of course, the bombsite at one floor down below, they've got to get the wall open first, they want this control, 01:39:01.140 --> 01:39:04.940 they will find Dan here on the top floor, that's one of two roamers still existing up here. 01:39:04.940 --> 01:39:08.440 Leaf's sky's in an awkward position, now his teammate's gone down with us trade. 01:39:08.440 --> 01:39:09.880 What's he going to do? 01:39:09.880 --> 01:39:14.400 Calls Rorak up actually for a moment, but as the death mark comes through, he falls back to site as well. 01:39:14.400 --> 01:39:18.060 So, G2 desperate for information at this point in time. 01:39:18.060 --> 01:39:22.620 Neko far enough back that he will see these players coming with the TCSG in hand. 01:39:22.620 --> 01:39:24.320 He can do some big damage. 01:39:24.320 --> 01:39:26.320 Now we'll go to Flames to isolate these players. 01:39:26.320 --> 01:39:29.440 Some area denial to push them into the arms of G2. 01:39:29.440 --> 01:39:30.600 Doki takes down Neko. 01:39:30.600 --> 01:39:31.620 Skye's in trouble. 01:39:31.620 --> 01:39:33.080 Rorik the only one remaining. 01:39:33.080 --> 01:39:34.640 No, they're all gone. 01:39:34.640 --> 01:39:37.160 In the blink of an eye, G2 sweeps through. 01:39:37.160 --> 01:39:38.720 Doki looked like he picked up another kill. 01:39:38.720 --> 01:39:40.880 A huge round from him. 01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:44.480 And G2 are able to get on the board faster than they did on Bank. 01:39:44.480 --> 01:39:51.680 You know, Parker, I fell head over heels over myself to hype up the basement pushes from Burr's pro on our last map. 01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:52.680 Thank you. 01:39:52.680 --> 01:39:55.580 But I got to do it again here for G2 on Kitchen for Chalet. 01:39:55.580 --> 01:39:57.180 That was a really strong attack. 01:39:57.180 --> 01:39:59.680 They never bit off more than they could chew in that round. 01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:02.680 They got the office wall open and then they didn't commit to a full clear. 01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:03.380 Why? 01:40:03.380 --> 01:40:06.380 Because they had a Thermite down below, they had a Capitow down below. 01:40:06.380 --> 01:40:12.140 They were easily able to smoke that plant threatened the diffuser to go down and it really just forced those movements out of VP 01:40:12.140 --> 01:40:18.700 They knew exactly what their win con was throughout that rounds and it's just a textbook objective focus round coming through from g2 01:40:18.860 --> 01:40:22.100 Maybe it's not the flashes. Maybe it's not a massive stomp in 5k 01:40:22.100 --> 01:40:24.060 But hey, they don't ask how you get it done 01:40:24.060 --> 01:40:27.860 It just needs to get done and g2 will get their first round here on shall I 01:40:29.220 --> 01:40:32.100 It's a fun map to watch and one that I imagine will get quite chaotic 01:40:32.100 --> 01:40:38.600 As we go on VP typically a sluggish team. How will they fare on a much faster map? 01:40:38.860 --> 01:40:47.180 Like shall a the assumption being with this G2s being being G2s choice VP opting to go to defense gives them a leg up 01:40:47.180 --> 01:40:49.240 And I mean you lose the tertiary site 01:40:49.240 --> 01:40:52.040 That is the most common thing that we see in this game 01:40:52.040 --> 01:40:56.660 So if VP are able to win the same two bomb sites that they went on before 01:40:56.860 --> 01:41:01.940 Maybe even more because shall a does see all four bomb sites get played depending on the team and depending on the region 01:41:01.940 --> 01:41:04.620 so it would not be uncommon for us to see that. 01:41:04.620 --> 01:41:07.140 But if VP are able to hold that a 4-2 scoreline 01:41:07.140 --> 01:41:08.660 is pretty much standard. 01:41:08.660 --> 01:41:10.140 That's exactly what VP want. 01:41:10.140 --> 01:41:12.660 But then, you're going to need to be a little bit faster 01:41:12.660 --> 01:41:14.540 than this team sometimes can be. 01:41:14.540 --> 01:41:15.460 Yeah. 01:41:15.460 --> 01:41:17.900 Interesting, this is a clash band coming out from G2. 01:41:17.900 --> 01:41:19.540 It's not an operative that VP played at all 01:41:19.540 --> 01:41:21.020 who were first quarter of this game. 01:41:21.020 --> 01:41:23.260 But something we talked about in the Shopify rebellion 01:41:23.260 --> 01:41:24.860 versus FaZe Clan game of the day, Parker, 01:41:24.860 --> 01:41:26.740 is a lot of the time this third operator band 01:41:26.740 --> 01:41:29.020 is not so much a reaction to what the other team had been 01:41:29.020 --> 01:41:31.660 playing, but more so to enable a different strategy 01:41:31.660 --> 01:41:34.060 from your own team through these next three rounds. 01:41:34.060 --> 01:41:36.500 Because of course, after this, there's no more reaction damage. 01:41:36.500 --> 01:41:37.300 What? 01:41:37.300 --> 01:41:39.220 Oh, OK. 01:41:39.220 --> 01:41:41.420 Dan flips on a dime and dimes Benja. 01:41:41.420 --> 01:41:42.900 That's a brutal game below. 01:41:42.900 --> 01:41:45.420 That's his friend's game. 01:41:45.420 --> 01:41:46.300 OK. 01:41:46.300 --> 01:41:47.060 Benja gone. 01:41:47.060 --> 01:41:47.940 That is a rough one. 01:41:47.940 --> 01:41:49.100 He's had a bit of a slow start. 01:41:49.100 --> 01:41:51.220 AliMau will trade Pasha out, though, 01:41:51.220 --> 01:41:53.540 as the Monty menacingly inside a trophy. 01:41:53.540 --> 01:41:56.820 And what a trophy that is for AliMau to take care of Pasha. 01:41:56.820 --> 01:42:00.260 Pasha, Skies, and Dan carrying so much of the weight 01:42:00.260 --> 01:42:01.220 for VP on Bank. 01:42:01.220 --> 01:42:05.700 but Rorick probably had the most high impact kills outside of maybe Skye. 01:42:05.700 --> 01:42:08.020 So there's still some weapons for VP. 01:42:08.540 --> 01:42:10.900 G2 made their way into the building one minute off of the board. 01:42:10.900 --> 01:42:15.580 They are setting up on the main floor, but on the opposite side of where we'd expect. 01:42:15.580 --> 01:42:18.580 They are right below the bomb site now and taking a kitchen by force. 01:42:18.580 --> 01:42:21.300 Yeah, usually you'll see the strat with like a buck or something, Parker. 01:42:21.300 --> 01:42:23.420 But they've gotten bottom floor control and can't do much with it 01:42:23.420 --> 01:42:25.620 because of that. Neko's position can't be forced out. 01:42:25.780 --> 01:42:28.380 He gets that pick on Alamo finding a crossfire in the Melanthi. 01:42:28.380 --> 01:42:31.140 And this just got really awkward for G2 without their spearhead. 01:42:31.220 --> 01:42:35.360 Doki and Shaco side-by-side, Neko down from below. 01:42:35.360 --> 01:42:41.500 Doki still in his very favorable position, Shaco's given him the all-clear to assess the situation and aggress towards the bomb site. 01:42:41.500 --> 01:42:43.500 Diffuse kid has also been surrendered. 01:42:43.500 --> 01:42:47.580 That was the Valley now dying, so G2 will need to retrieve it from the Lion's Den. 01:42:47.580 --> 01:42:50.960 The thing is, though, Parker, all three of these players are pushing the same side. 01:42:50.960 --> 01:42:58.280 Everyone is going to have to finish through Solar, so VP, if they can just lock down bathroom and lock down the master door, they don't have to overreact. 01:42:58.280 --> 01:43:02.280 You're watching for a flank on G2, but there's unlikely to be one from Virtus.pro. 01:43:02.280 --> 01:43:04.280 Should I go down below? Yeah, you're absolutely right. 01:43:04.280 --> 01:43:09.280 They need to get him in the actual cut and thrust of this execute. Here he comes up those solar stairs. 01:43:10.280 --> 01:43:12.280 Diffuser, tantalizingly close. 01:43:12.280 --> 01:43:17.280 Have to imagine it'll be Stompin to retrieve it, as now there goes the Rotero drone. 01:43:18.280 --> 01:43:20.280 A scouting mission was just under a minute left in the room. 01:43:20.280 --> 01:43:22.280 Stompin's got over to big windows, so he's not going to be near that kid at all. 01:43:22.280 --> 01:43:26.280 Instead, it's a swing from Rorke. It's hard to punish. Nice trade by Skystow 2v2. 01:43:26.280 --> 01:43:31.600 And Skye's still alive here in the bathroom, flattened by Shiko, Stompin looking for the 01:43:31.600 --> 01:43:32.600 all clear. 01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:33.600 Dan, last one standing. 01:43:33.600 --> 01:43:38.120 We are seeing Stompin rotate on over. 01:43:38.120 --> 01:43:39.120 Dan will go for the run out. 01:43:39.120 --> 01:43:41.560 He suspects somebody's on big window but he's giving himself away and guess what? 01:43:41.560 --> 01:43:45.960 Shiko will have a line of sight over towards that part of the map that will coalesce towards 01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:47.800 the back of the site. 01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:52.240 Shiko versus Dan is a fight that we have seen time and time again and it never disappoints. 01:43:52.240 --> 01:43:55.000 Shiko will win it as is often the case. 01:43:55.000 --> 01:43:58.720 Dolbin was attempting to eat the fuse kit down, but no objective play needed from G2. 01:43:58.720 --> 01:44:01.440 They win it off of killing alone. 01:44:01.440 --> 01:44:03.640 A terrific round by G2 and they tie things up. 01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:05.840 Yeah, that's not an easy execute from G2. 01:44:05.840 --> 01:44:09.840 Even in the even man count situation, the positions were so much better for VP, 01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:11.280 but it's just little bits of utility. 01:44:11.280 --> 01:44:15.920 It's some pressure from down below and then a flashbang, which forces a swing out from VP 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:18.520 that allows G2 to kind of start that trade game. 01:44:18.520 --> 01:44:21.440 And they're so good at working together on these trades, Parker. 01:44:21.440 --> 01:44:25.260 One of the best team when it comes to going one for one killing your opponents, man 01:44:25.260 --> 01:44:31.660 It was an unfortunately start from Benjana how he loses this it gets answered back with another freebie right under fashion 01:44:31.660 --> 01:44:35.960 And then that kill right there from Doki starts the ball game. We start seeing trade after trade 01:44:35.960 --> 01:44:41.920 It was really good movement from Stomp and initially rotating over towards that big window that prompted the jump out in the end 01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:42.620 There from Dan 01:44:42.620 --> 01:44:45.420 That's why he jumps out the window because he knew Stomp and was in that position 01:44:45.420 --> 01:44:50.300 But but the time Dan gets to that spot Stomp and it's already rotated back towards playing with Shaco 01:44:50.300 --> 01:44:54.940 the duo has already set themselves up in a plant position. It is perfectly done by G2. 01:44:54.940 --> 01:44:57.580 Everything had to go right to win that round and it all did. 01:44:57.580 --> 01:45:00.140 You also feel there was a bit of restlessness for Virtus Pro. 01:45:00.140 --> 01:45:04.540 They did kind of over commit and over peek and I think when you have a setup where you feel like 01:45:04.540 --> 01:45:10.140 you are losing grip on the site, whether it be because of drones, whether it be because of utility, 01:45:10.140 --> 01:45:15.180 and you need to peek because you just cannot sit patiently and get beaten, 01:45:15.980 --> 01:45:19.500 Virtus Pro decides to take advantage. Now with some of these players and the way that they've 01:45:19.500 --> 01:45:21.640 they've been feeling, I don't hate that. 01:45:21.640 --> 01:45:22.920 They have been winning their duels 01:45:22.920 --> 01:45:25.040 against G2 more often than not. 01:45:25.040 --> 01:45:26.160 But obviously on that round, 01:45:26.160 --> 01:45:28.440 you are confined to very small areas. 01:45:28.440 --> 01:45:30.280 Most of the walls around you, 01:45:30.280 --> 01:45:32.720 easy fodder for a gun to shoot through 01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:33.880 and get a bullet-pen kill. 01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:36.040 So VP have no choice but to peek 01:45:36.040 --> 01:45:37.520 and they lost all of those duels. 01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:39.320 And Jesse, sometimes it's as simple 01:45:39.320 --> 01:45:41.360 as you losing your 50-50 gunfight 01:45:41.360 --> 01:45:42.840 and that's the end. 01:45:42.840 --> 01:45:44.800 Remember, VP have played this map once before 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:46.400 and kickoff, that was an 8-6 loss 01:45:46.400 --> 01:45:48.680 to shifters back during the regional stage. 01:45:48.680 --> 01:45:51.360 So, this has been an awkward map for them in the past. 01:45:51.360 --> 01:45:55.040 It's probably a big reason why G2 wanted to play the map up against Virtus.Pro. 01:45:55.040 --> 01:45:58.760 So, I apologize when I said it was all the old roster for this team. 01:45:58.760 --> 01:46:01.800 They have played it once under this new five-man stack. 01:46:02.800 --> 01:46:05.640 And now it'll kind of be up to Virtus.Pro to change the narrative a bit. 01:46:05.640 --> 01:46:07.800 This has been a map that they've struggled on in the past, 01:46:07.800 --> 01:46:10.600 and it kind of comes down to the stall game here in round number five. 01:46:10.840 --> 01:46:12.720 I love the two-brow being brought up by Neko. 01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:15.800 It will delay this office clear, but the monster might speed things up 01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:17.400 if he can walk his way in through the doorway. 01:46:17.400 --> 01:46:25.600 Yeah, Skies is there to support Neko in this position, their intended target is the Tuber Island, they let him get away because there's nobody escorting this Fenty of Alimau to really do damage. 01:46:25.600 --> 01:46:36.860 Doki still needed a few steps to get into position, they're worried about a re-aggress now as they lose their vision to the Fenrir gadget, but this is a fall-off from VP, they have completely conceded this top floor. 01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:44.360 Yeah, this has been nice space taken by G2, just the 90 second mark VP gave this up, so it's clearly according to plan for the squad. 01:46:44.360 --> 01:46:50.360 The site utility is going to be interesting as welcome through from G2 to Prada Finka, which is almost never seen outside of Rust strategy 01:46:50.360 --> 01:46:56.680 So I'm really curious to see how Doki wants to use his operator second time on this bombsite that Doki has employed this op 01:46:57.000 --> 01:47:01.960 Benja will take care of Dan. That's I guess some words from the previous round down goes stomp in the posh 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:05.960 I don't know where the doka be wise and I don't know how much utility that Korean operator had remaining 01:47:05.960 --> 01:47:11.680 But she is oh so effective at finding the team and as you can see it no mute jammer is present on the side of VP 01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:14.880 So those phones would have been ringing that would have been great intel for g2 to have 01:47:15.040 --> 01:47:20.040 They've got full control of the top floor as it looked like naco was threatening them over towards library stairs 01:47:20.040 --> 01:47:23.840 But this is a much more entrenched VP defense to ride out the final moments of the round 01:47:23.840 --> 01:47:28.380 Yeah, 4v4 this is gonna get awkward for VP the walls close in a little bit without this pressure up above 01:47:28.380 --> 01:47:33.160 They've only really got posh on a roam here comes the jump in and the half-strap is soon to follow now from g2 01:47:33.160 --> 01:47:36.560 And Ali now is literally gonna hang all of his hopes on the Shaco 01:47:36.560 --> 01:47:41.580 Usually that's a pretty good bet as an air jab goes off to isolate the player down in the alcove down below 01:47:42.080 --> 01:47:46.920 Also towards the main door expecting a swing from the smoke Rorik takes a gamble. It does not pay off 01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:50.960 He ultimately loses a lot of his HP in the process, but it allows alley amount to take up space 01:47:51.200 --> 01:47:53.480 Doki now covering from above down goes Rorik 01:47:53.480 --> 01:47:55.480 It's a sweep on through the site with Skies is there 01:47:55.720 --> 01:48:00.840 Neko dies G2 with the advantage Skies coming back to the site gets one. That's all he can muster 01:48:01.200 --> 01:48:03.200 Pasha in a 1v3 01:48:03.200 --> 01:48:11.000 Goki has his line of sight. He gets gunned down. No 10 kills for the Scotsman as it's Pasha now against a Monty and Benjah 01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:16.600 Ali Mal will just sit and observe the work he did with the case. Benjah has coverage from above 01:48:17.680 --> 01:48:20.120 Will he take the fight upstairs? That seems to be the goal 01:48:20.120 --> 01:48:27.100 He cannot take the Monty 1v1 because Benjah will just be sitting and waiting but Pasha's a decision Jesse might just kill him 01:48:27.620 --> 01:48:29.900 Shield break makes this a lot easier of a fight 01:48:29.900 --> 01:48:34.700 But you know Allymal is very comfortable on this role just wasting time shaking his head 01:48:34.700 --> 01:48:42.020 No as Pasha tries as he might Benji doesn't even need to get into harm's way because guess what you're out of time on the side of 01:48:42.020 --> 01:48:42.900 EP 01:48:42.900 --> 01:48:46.580 Finally Benji gets the kill Pasha goes down and it's another round for G2 01:48:46.580 --> 01:48:50.900 They take the lead on Shallow really nice push coming through again from G2 01:48:50.900 --> 01:48:52.500 It's been a couple rounds in a row now 01:48:52.500 --> 01:48:58.260 We've been putting together some excellent executes Parker and as we were watching a lot of that pressure come through over towards the 01:48:58.260 --> 01:49:02.820 Blue Stairs over towards the Library Hatch. It was Doki who vaulted over the Mezzanine 01:49:02.820 --> 01:49:07.860 and ended up just walking in through Bar. Found some huge kills with that LMG on Finca. 01:49:07.860 --> 01:49:12.140 Again, not really a common operator we see outside of Rush Strategies, but he was using 01:49:12.140 --> 01:49:15.660 it to pick up some downed teammates. He was using it to enable them to go through that 01:49:15.660 --> 01:49:19.660 aggressive push, and he was hitting some shots, so I can't argue with the results. Doki, 01:49:19.660 --> 01:49:24.540 a huge round to come through there. Again, in a tweet, blamed yesterday's loss on poor 01:49:24.540 --> 01:49:29.260 decision-making, but I thought his decision to drop that balcony going through the site door was 01:49:29.260 --> 01:49:33.100 perfectly played and it was really what opened up the bomb site for G2 in their last round. 01:49:33.100 --> 01:49:37.100 Doki was the first casualty back in round number one, so since then he's amassed 01:49:37.100 --> 01:49:41.340 nine kills in four rounds, so I don't think decision-making has really been the problem 01:49:41.340 --> 01:49:47.500 for Doki here to your point. I mean, they're playing about as angry as all the people in 01:49:47.500 --> 01:49:52.140 Doki's responses to that tweet, which my god, put on a hazmat suit and wander into the comments 01:49:52.140 --> 01:49:58.700 section over there. A fun little fact about this matchup. This is G2's first lead of the series. 01:49:58.700 --> 01:50:05.740 They tied or trailed all of Bank. They have now finally been able to put VP under and VP doesn't 01:50:05.740 --> 01:50:10.380 like it. They immediately respond by calling their timeout to talk through this. G2 are just there, 01:50:10.380 --> 01:50:13.980 a tough team to deal with. They have so many tools at their disposal. They've managed to win these 01:50:13.980 --> 01:50:20.540 rounds with Stompin getting a zero kills. And again, Stompin is a late round player. He is dying 01:50:20.540 --> 01:50:24.260 early witch through five rounds he has three deaths suggesting he survives on 01:50:24.260 --> 01:50:27.860 the rounds that they've won you don't really need him all that much you need 01:50:27.860 --> 01:50:32.140 him in the rounds where you're losing of course but he was one of the among the 01:50:32.140 --> 01:50:37.140 first to die in those lost rounds so you don't really need stopping that's okay 01:50:37.140 --> 01:50:41.400 you will likely wake up on the second half G2 showing a lot of confidence VP 01:50:41.400 --> 01:50:46.180 shaken and again this should be the favorable sign for VP so if they come 01:50:46.180 --> 01:50:51.400 out on the long side of a 4-2, a G2 holds a head, even more than they are now, that 01:50:51.400 --> 01:50:55.400 spells trouble, and also makes Bordr look like an inevitability. 01:50:55.400 --> 01:50:59.120 Part of the reason why the Taksima was just called by Dark, the long-time coach of Fear 01:50:59.120 --> 01:51:04.320 X now moving over to Europe to try to coach in for VP, there's only one more round on 01:51:04.320 --> 01:51:09.420 this side, so all of the Taksima had to just be used for this final 6th round, the defense 01:51:09.420 --> 01:51:14.160 on Kitchen and Dining, he must know how important this round is for the team, feeling that a 01:51:14.160 --> 01:51:18.760 3-3 is necessary at this point, you'll get a free time-out after this to talk about the second half. 01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:22.560 So there's no reason to call this unless you're very concerned about this round in particular. 01:51:22.560 --> 01:51:25.160 And what have they brought with it? Well, they brought a ton of utility. 01:51:25.160 --> 01:51:29.160 The laser gates coming through from Dan, the lasers coming through from Pasha as well. 01:51:29.160 --> 01:51:31.560 It's mission impossible, I thought, or shall I? 01:51:31.560 --> 01:51:35.560 You see them rappelling down amidst the Detroit crowd, the big crown jewel. 01:51:35.560 --> 01:51:41.760 Doki was first-death on round number one, and will exit the first half of the exact same situation 01:51:41.760 --> 01:51:47.680 as he's blown sky-high by a nitro-cell Doki on Blackbeard is, uh, not something you see every 01:51:47.680 --> 01:51:52.160 single day, but I mean, hey, if it works, it works, and it might be part of this broader strategy 01:51:52.160 --> 01:51:56.720 as VP gets to workshop this round, so too did G2. They get to speak to their coach as well. 01:51:56.720 --> 01:52:00.800 Obviously, the game does not pay off, Shaco dies to the hands of Rorik, and VP's full-court press 01:52:00.800 --> 01:52:06.720 across this entire map so far working out. Stompin', just like Alleymow, on bank, will not exit the 01:52:06.720 --> 01:52:11.520 first half. Fragless, as he gets one pick on the window, G2's gonna need to amass a couple more, 01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:15.540 because it's VP with the lead, issuing a correction. 01:52:15.540 --> 01:52:18.180 Rorick, trapped on stairs, tries to fight his way to that spot, 01:52:18.180 --> 01:52:22.240 dies to Benja, and VP giving up some costly errors here, 01:52:22.240 --> 01:52:25.040 and now they've lost the numbers advantage entirely. 01:52:25.040 --> 01:52:27.080 Things are falling apart for VP, Parker. 01:52:27.080 --> 01:52:29.740 A couple of, frankly, needless swings in the midst of this round 01:52:29.740 --> 01:52:32.280 have given the advantage back over towards G2. 01:52:32.280 --> 01:52:34.820 Uncomfortable spots to be in now if you're Neko or Dan. 01:52:34.820 --> 01:52:38.660 They must be able to close this round out with over 60 seconds to go. 01:52:38.660 --> 01:52:41.160 No utility in terms of C4s or anything to deny 01:52:41.160 --> 01:52:46.400 So it's all going to be on the gun play and G2 they can take their time with this set up some crossfires 01:52:46.400 --> 01:52:51.760 Set up a gunfight that's favorable to you and just go for the exit. The one thing that will work in VP's favor is information 01:52:51.760 --> 01:52:53.320 They have a bulletproof camera inside a kitchen 01:52:53.320 --> 01:52:56.880 It'll be able to get a good look at that trophy portion of the map Dan guns down 01:52:56.880 --> 01:53:00.080 Alley now benja master to slip through the fingers of Naco as well 01:53:00.160 --> 01:53:04.760 So that could have been two quick kills for VP to send us to a three three 01:53:05.120 --> 01:53:09.040 Second half but that won't come to pass stop and finds his third Jesse 01:53:09.040 --> 01:53:14.640 He said that he's never gone negative in a matchup, and he's now 3-3 with plenty more time to go. 01:53:14.640 --> 01:53:22.240 Niko worried about the cross, Benjaminster, good coverage, and that's a huge round for G2 as they stretch their lead. 01:53:22.240 --> 01:53:28.640 Trouble in the water for this VP team as they are now battling uphill in the second half. 01:53:28.640 --> 01:53:37.640 There's nothing, no bad feelings, that goes audio, they got to kill. 01:53:37.640 --> 01:53:39.640 Can I have some audio guys? 01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:42.640 Let me hear you with the clip. 01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:46.640 Look, for Master, like you're gonna play the tournament below, okay? 01:53:46.640 --> 01:53:49.640 Like you remember, I'm gonna have the multiplayer, okay? 01:53:49.640 --> 01:53:52.640 So like they're gonna have the Blitz, Zach is gonna play the L for yourself, okay? 01:53:52.640 --> 01:53:55.640 Zach is gonna play the games, and you're gonna play the Legion, okay? 01:53:55.640 --> 01:53:58.040 Okay, Legion Fair here. Okay, like for your role. 01:53:58.040 --> 01:54:03.560 Uh, and like, uh, so like, they go from first solo, they need to clean the looking and then like, I want you all, 01:54:03.560 --> 01:54:07.880 all, you guys like, see the end there, okay? Because like, they have to green, you look like them. 01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:11.640 Like, if they let it, they take it, they load it, so it's so hard for us, okay? So like, I think... 01:54:11.640 --> 01:54:15.800 Feeling for that, okay? This is not important at all. Things I want to say important here. 01:54:15.800 --> 01:54:19.960 Like, I already have used some things with Runeco before. The Operator Bonoak have nothing different. 01:54:19.960 --> 01:54:24.280 It's Azam, and Mead, and Clash. Like, they use some Clash in screen for Runeco, so I think 01:54:24.280 --> 01:54:28.280 I think it's going to be a good one, at least like if they don't show in the first out, I think they're still going to show after that. 01:54:28.280 --> 01:54:35.280 Different thing, I put replay, that the food is set up. I explain why, when they play games hold, we have a gap to jump in the canine window. 01:54:35.280 --> 01:54:39.280 Just one thing, in the paper, shoot Pasha two times, but basically he's a Nikita and Skies, right? 01:54:39.280 --> 01:54:42.280 Pasha going to bait with the demos in the game's window. 01:54:42.280 --> 01:54:47.280 And everything I created for attacking this map, guys, is because they can ban all the shields, like we always know. 01:54:47.280 --> 01:54:53.280 And Neko knows how he's going to play, for example, no shield, to a game set up, because we're going to play two guys in basement. 01:54:53.280 --> 01:54:55.280 You always gonna play ace, ok? 01:54:55.280 --> 01:54:59.280 You do that default ace on base on garage, you open game hold and you fuck that guy. 01:54:59.280 --> 01:55:04.280 If you have a shield, default. If you don't have a shield, Nick gonna play doca ad and go blue and Nikita mud. 01:55:04.280 --> 01:55:08.280 If Nikita, Nick will have a shield, you can do that flanking trough like you like, ok? 01:55:08.280 --> 01:55:10.280 Like normally you like to do. 01:55:10.280 --> 01:55:12.280 Which is that guys? Don't hear this thing too much. 01:55:12.280 --> 01:55:14.280 Like, so like, I can default this work. 01:55:14.280 --> 01:55:15.280 On game's clear? 01:55:15.280 --> 01:55:17.280 Like, gonna be open, you know? 01:55:17.280 --> 01:55:21.280 So you are Azami, you are Hibana, it's kinda... ok, but you have a green, you know? 01:55:21.280 --> 01:55:24.560 Not only did he force them to stop me for a game's hold, but they don't play. 01:55:24.560 --> 01:55:28.000 They play on the stairs. They just get out there and Shaik will just put the fainting trap there. 01:55:28.000 --> 01:55:30.240 So it's fine. You can play green, Indy, you're... 01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:36.640 Great information being given by the two Brazilian coaches of the European teams in front of us, 01:55:36.640 --> 01:55:40.640 both Romalho and Dark. Very experienced, very prepped in this matchup. 01:55:40.640 --> 01:55:46.000 Romalho in particular, the longest current coach still in under one organization. 01:55:46.000 --> 01:55:49.000 and joined the scene back in August of 2023 01:55:49.000 --> 01:55:50.000 and has been with them, 01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:51.500 been with G2 I should say, 01:55:51.500 --> 01:55:54.000 for some really high highs and some low lows 01:55:54.000 --> 01:55:57.700 was the coach of FaZe Clan back when they won the major in Sweden, 01:55:57.700 --> 01:56:01.600 but has yet to replicate that level of success so far for G2. 01:56:01.600 --> 01:56:02.800 If they can win this game, right? 01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:06.500 Claw things back on Chalet, win cafe, make it to the main stage 01:56:06.500 --> 01:56:07.800 and go through the brackets. 01:56:07.800 --> 01:56:09.900 I think it'll be quite confident with this team 01:56:09.900 --> 01:56:12.200 and I think this looks like maybe their best chance yet. 01:56:12.200 --> 01:56:12.900 Yeah, absolutely. 01:56:12.900 --> 01:56:17.660 I think honestly these teams both have a very good shot of making it to main stage 01:56:17.660 --> 01:56:22.280 I mean obviously depends on what happens tomorrow, and I guess what happens in the other matches today and 01:56:22.560 --> 01:56:28.100 Just a reminder now as we get set up for the second half that there is a B stream running alongside 01:56:28.460 --> 01:56:34.980 hours ace and desert over there right now casting Loose versus Waybo all of the matchups here on this stream are for 01:56:35.620 --> 01:56:39.640 qualification purposes to make the main stage on Friday stage that is being assembled just 01:56:39.640 --> 01:56:44.520 Again, with an arms reach of where we are casting from, it takes shape and anticipation 01:56:44.520 --> 01:56:50.320 to welcome all of you to Salt Lake City on Friday for the live portion of this event. 01:56:50.320 --> 01:56:53.160 On the B-Stream, it's a much sadder affair. 01:56:53.160 --> 01:56:55.280 Either Los Oruebo will go home. 01:56:55.280 --> 01:57:00.680 There are two more elimination games over there, and of course, if you are a North American, 01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:07.680 Australian, or just generally an enjoyer of teams that hate each other's guts, Enterprise 01:57:07.680 --> 01:57:14.320 and Shopify rebellion will do battle in our very next contest at the conclusion of G2 versus VP. 01:57:14.320 --> 01:57:19.200 We got to get there first though, and we might still need border. If G2's first half has any 01:57:19.200 --> 01:57:24.400 indication border looking very likely at this point in time to settle this best of three. 01:57:24.400 --> 01:57:28.160 It's been a great game from Doki Sochar here on map number two. He's been struggling to hit 01:57:28.160 --> 01:57:32.160 double digits the last couple of maps. Didn't do it at all versus Twisted Minds in that three map 01:57:32.160 --> 01:57:37.200 series and hit just seven back on bank. So one away now here as we head into the second half of 01:57:37.200 --> 01:57:41.960 of Chalet, likely to hit that high watermark at some point over the next few minutes. 01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:46.160 This bomb set of course, all the way over towards top floor inside of Master. 01:57:46.160 --> 01:57:50.320 So a bit of a roam clear going on from VP to start us off, and the tools are very strong. 01:57:50.320 --> 01:57:53.920 You've got the Doku, you've got the Deimos, you've got all these different ways to find 01:57:53.920 --> 01:57:56.640 these operators, and the information is flowing for VP. 01:57:56.640 --> 01:58:02.120 Stomp it is the first one underwatch, I guess that's a payback for his 3K in the previous 01:58:02.120 --> 01:58:05.560 round to go from 0-3 to 3-3, Dan gunning down Shiko. 01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:08.840 Shiko, competing with Alinao right now, is the lowest rated player on G2. 01:58:08.840 --> 01:58:10.660 It's been a bad game for the Frenchman. 01:58:11.040 --> 01:58:13.660 Benjamin will join him as well, and now there's a lineup over on the stairs. 01:58:13.660 --> 01:58:17.240 Doki swamping Rorik, he had stomped it in tow. 01:58:17.240 --> 01:58:20.520 Doki breaking double digits, the only person in the lobby to do that. 01:58:20.520 --> 01:58:23.800 Well ahead of all the rest, sitting at six kills. 01:58:24.160 --> 01:58:26.000 That would be Shiko and Skyes. 01:58:26.160 --> 01:58:29.800 A good answer back from G2 to take down Rorik after they lost two players of their own. 01:58:30.120 --> 01:58:31.040 Still not enough though. 01:58:31.040 --> 01:58:32.360 I mean, you've got a favor of VP. 01:58:32.360 --> 01:58:37.720 90 seconds left on the clock with a one-man advantage. They've got good map control as well all of bottom floor in their control 01:58:37.720 --> 01:58:39.720 And of course this piano extension as well 01:58:40.160 --> 01:58:45.980 Just being contested right now G2 do exist in piano, but Virtus Pro are not too far off just inside of mezz 01:58:46.400 --> 01:58:50.920 Not a hundred percent sure on the youth so they're gonna take their time to drone face check a few angles if they have to 01:58:51.200 --> 01:58:57.240 You can see how eager G2 are to answer this man count back Parker Stumpen wants to make this a 3v3 01:58:57.240 --> 01:58:59.700 Absolutely, and I mean at this point you kind of have to, right? 01:58:59.700 --> 01:59:04.600 This map is so easy to attack on, you cannot sit still, you cannot be restless, they can 01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:06.920 kill you through the floors, they can kill you through the walls. 01:59:06.920 --> 01:59:08.920 We said the same about VP just a couple rounds ago. 01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:11.960 It might look like a bit of restlessness, but you have to take these engagements, especially 01:59:11.960 --> 01:59:14.520 when there's a shield on the board, and you're down in numbers. 01:59:14.520 --> 01:59:17.720 And Doki understands the mission, he didn't have much to gamble on, he does gamble, it 01:59:17.720 --> 01:59:19.560 ultimately does not pay off. 01:59:19.560 --> 01:59:24.960 AliMal and Stompin in a 2v4, this is grim for G2, but AliMal blows up Posh with a Nitro 01:59:24.960 --> 01:59:27.960 has a golden opportunity to do some damage to the Blitz as well. 01:59:27.960 --> 01:59:30.960 Everybody on VP have taken their lumps. 01:59:30.960 --> 01:59:33.960 This is perfect for the guns in the hands of Ali Malin Stompin. 01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:36.960 They need to work together effectively to fuse Kit going down. 01:59:36.960 --> 01:59:38.960 Neko protected for the moment. 01:59:38.960 --> 01:59:41.960 Skye's watching to ensure he stays alive. 01:59:41.960 --> 01:59:42.960 Ali Malin pursuit now. 01:59:42.960 --> 01:59:43.960 We'll look for a swing. 01:59:43.960 --> 01:59:45.960 He's got the Blitz doing more damage, 01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:46.960 but he can't capitalize. 01:59:46.960 --> 01:59:48.960 Stompin dies because of it. 01:59:48.960 --> 01:59:49.960 Ali Mal trapped in the corner, 01:59:49.960 --> 01:59:52.960 and they'll play him like the piano he said on VP. 01:59:52.960 --> 01:59:57.560 VP, one round back at G2, they take the first round of their attack. 01:59:57.560 --> 01:59:59.920 There is maybe no team on this planet. 01:59:59.920 --> 02:00:03.000 It was harder to work picks back against then-Virtus-Pro. 02:00:03.000 --> 02:00:04.960 When they get themselves into an advantage parker, 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:07.680 they are so clinical at not giving anything up. 02:00:07.680 --> 02:00:09.920 You could see G2 hunting for those frags, 02:00:09.920 --> 02:00:12.000 whether it was Stalpin getting aggressive inside Piano, 02:00:12.000 --> 02:00:13.360 looking for a couple of those kills, 02:00:13.360 --> 02:00:15.680 whether it was Alamo jumping out the bathroom window, 02:00:15.680 --> 02:00:17.640 whether it was some aggression from Doki too. 02:00:17.640 --> 02:00:20.400 Everybody on G2 wanted to get aggressive. 02:00:20.400 --> 02:00:22.440 They wanted to answer back on the man counts. 02:00:22.440 --> 02:00:25.640 but VP gave them nothing, no aggressive positions, 02:00:25.640 --> 02:00:27.120 they were holding their flanks down below, 02:00:27.120 --> 02:00:29.480 they were just waiting for G2 to make a mistake 02:00:29.480 --> 02:00:31.960 and eventually they found it with that pick onto Doki. 02:00:31.960 --> 02:00:33.760 It opens the door for a plant to start 02:00:33.760 --> 02:00:35.720 being played in by Neko. 02:00:35.720 --> 02:00:38.040 And it gets Verz Pro back alive in this game. 02:00:38.040 --> 02:00:41.360 4-3 absolutely a place to work from if you're Verz Pro. 02:00:41.360 --> 02:00:42.280 And as we often say, 02:00:42.280 --> 02:00:44.680 Chalet can lean towards the attackers 02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:47.280 so G2 cannot let this spiral out of control. 02:00:48.280 --> 02:00:50.200 Go back and reference these numbers here on Chalet 02:00:50.200 --> 02:00:58.040 just so people need a bit of perspective both of these teams not very good at attacking on chalet statistically both much better as 02:00:58.800 --> 02:01:03.800 Defenders both of them having plus 50% win rates in the rounds that they want on defense 02:01:03.800 --> 02:01:05.800 But as you very correctly pointed out 02:01:05.960 --> 02:01:13.640 Virtus Pro half of those numbers are from a completely different roster right so while the org might have that number the team doesn't 02:01:13.800 --> 02:01:19.040 Necessarily and I mean when you add new players to the team and again almost every major team at this event 02:01:19.040 --> 02:01:29.040 made some kind of roster move. Unless you're basically phaser shopper by rebellion, there was some movement on your team, either from a coaching or active player stand-up. 02:01:29.040 --> 02:01:38.040 Those numbers don't tell the full story. And as you pointed out as well, we've only seen five chalets so far, nowhere near enough for us to save uncertainty. 02:01:38.040 --> 02:01:43.040 That's still not enough data for us to say, yeah, this is a defender-sided map. It can turn on a dime. 02:01:43.040 --> 02:01:48.040 VP looking pretty good on their attack. 40 seconds in now. Sky's already in the building. 02:01:48.040 --> 02:01:54.040 Deathmarks in pocket. Shotgun out. If this is a quick push from VP, it might catch this G2 team off guard, 02:01:54.040 --> 02:01:57.040 particularly Doki lurking in the basement. 02:01:57.040 --> 02:02:01.040 Yeah, a lot of their players are over towards the Solar side, so I don't think they're going to be immediately in towards the bomb site, 02:02:01.040 --> 02:02:05.040 but the map control is being acquired slowly, but surely from Virtus Pro. 02:02:05.040 --> 02:02:09.040 They've got players here outside the front door, and they've drone out the player in the basement too. 02:02:09.040 --> 02:02:15.400 Information will be flowing again for Ververs Pro. They've been really liking these Intel operators. We've got game most again once more 02:02:15.400 --> 02:02:18.040 You've got Roark being brought up here on the snake as well 02:02:18.040 --> 02:02:23.760 So there should be opportunities to find some of these players out. Shaco punished a little bit as he tries to poke his way towards dining 02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:25.920 But he does take some damage and has to retreat back 02:02:26.280 --> 02:02:30.520 No real map control being tested by G2. They're kind of just letting VP take this space 02:02:30.520 --> 02:02:34.160 You're really creative on your realms on Chalet too, right? I mean look at Shaco and Doki 02:02:34.160 --> 02:02:37.520 They're doing two totally separate things on this map and they 02:02:37.520 --> 02:02:45.200 necessitate a response from these attackers. So I do like the Intel Ops being brought from VP. It is a good response to G2's Defender setup. 02:02:45.620 --> 02:02:51.240 It will put some hurt on these defenders if they don't have any salvation. And the big thing obviously is the lack of mute. 02:02:51.240 --> 02:02:55.360 Mute is the single greatest counter to these Intel Ops. It's not present on the side of G2. 02:02:55.720 --> 02:03:00.880 Alimount dies early-ish. A minute to go in the round. VP will strike first. That's Dan 02:03:01.440 --> 02:03:06.880 starting to heat up. And VP have now a nice cool minute to work with this bomb site. 02:03:06.880 --> 02:03:09.720 Yeah, G2 really didn't want to give up that first frag, but there it goes. 02:03:09.720 --> 02:03:12.440 Finally, a mistake gets made and Burr's pro will punish. 02:03:12.440 --> 02:03:15.480 Time is ticking low, though, and you've still got good utility on the side of G2. 02:03:15.480 --> 02:03:17.760 Two Nitro cells, one from Benjyot, one from Stompin. 02:03:17.760 --> 02:03:20.720 The Blitz looking to jump over, but shoots the cam first. 02:03:20.720 --> 02:03:23.280 It got good player positions, and the Nitro answers, though. 02:03:23.280 --> 02:03:25.280 And look at this spectating, dear god. 02:03:25.280 --> 02:03:27.440 I couldn't imagine being one of our observers at the moment, 02:03:27.440 --> 02:03:30.600 because G2 is doing laps around the map. 02:03:30.600 --> 02:03:35.520 Neko dies to the Nitro cell, and that was the regress up blue stairs. 02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:40.440 Limited time now for VP to work with and they've lost one of their best tools, which was that shield 02:03:40.440 --> 02:03:43.560 They've got a good idea about the Kaede of Benjamaster inside a back part 02:03:43.560 --> 02:03:45.560 They've got to cut through a bunch of players in the process 02:03:45.560 --> 02:03:51.480 They'll do some serious damage through the wall Dan buying himself some time and concealment from that fire extinguisher 02:03:51.480 --> 02:03:55.840 The smoke doing wonders to keep Doki a bay Dan wins the duel slaughtered by a trade 02:03:56.000 --> 02:03:59.200 There was a hail of boards there as Shiko holds off the bomb site 02:03:59.560 --> 02:04:04.960 Everybody dying and it's off to Benjamaster to clutch out Yorick and Benji in a 1v1 and the game will win it 02:04:04.960 --> 02:04:09.460 G2, a terrific round! My my! 02:04:09.460 --> 02:04:13.160 G2 holding strong there in the late round, Parker. 02:04:13.160 --> 02:04:15.460 They waste so much time early on, right? 02:04:15.460 --> 02:04:18.160 And that was the big thing, is they weren't fighting Verse Pro early. 02:04:18.160 --> 02:04:19.960 They let them have the control of Kitchen. 02:04:19.960 --> 02:04:21.460 They let them have the control of Master. 02:04:21.460 --> 02:04:22.960 They let them have the control of Piano. 02:04:22.960 --> 02:04:25.460 All of this space was being taken by VP, 02:04:25.460 --> 02:04:28.960 and G2 were scared to challenge it because of how the previous round went. 02:04:28.960 --> 02:04:31.960 When they tried to get aggressive in round number seven, it bit them hard. 02:04:31.960 --> 02:04:34.260 And even though VP still got that opening pick, 02:04:34.260 --> 02:04:40.660 It took them so long that eventually when they got to that execute G2 had really good trade games. You mentioned it 02:04:40.660 --> 02:04:44.540 The movement was crazy. We saw rotates up the blue stairs down the blue 02:04:44.540 --> 02:04:46.820 It's just sick back through basements 02:04:46.820 --> 02:04:51.980 We watched Dan just outside of the game's door fight a guy on that blue stairs and he or on the snow stairs 02:04:51.980 --> 02:04:54.780 I should say and even after he gets the kill a second guy comes 02:04:54.900 --> 02:05:01.100 Barrowing up that staircase and it makes things really awkward and frustrating for verse pro where they just don't know where to look in 02:05:01.100 --> 02:05:03.540 in these late rounds, the time is ticking down, 02:05:03.540 --> 02:05:04.660 things are getting chaotic, 02:05:04.660 --> 02:05:06.980 and G2 did a great job of clutching things out, 02:05:06.980 --> 02:05:08.100 even in that 1v1. 02:05:08.100 --> 02:05:10.820 I mean, you still have four players left, 02:05:10.820 --> 02:05:12.980 but you lack enough map control 02:05:12.980 --> 02:05:15.220 to hold these crucial avenues. 02:05:15.220 --> 02:05:18.680 How do you allow G2 to retake blue stairs 02:05:18.680 --> 02:05:22.540 when you've got three of your players on that same floor? 02:05:22.540 --> 02:05:24.680 It really is quite outrageous, 02:05:24.680 --> 02:05:27.920 and speaks to VP being maybe a bit too static 02:05:27.920 --> 02:05:29.820 with the way they wanted to go about that site. 02:05:29.820 --> 02:05:32.500 It's entirely possible that they mismanaged the clock. 02:05:32.500 --> 02:05:34.020 They thought that they would have more time. 02:05:34.020 --> 02:05:36.580 They ran out of opportunities. 02:05:36.580 --> 02:05:37.900 Dan was holding down lobby. 02:05:37.900 --> 02:05:39.380 He knew there was somebody downstairs. 02:05:39.380 --> 02:05:41.420 Or if he didn't know, he certainly had a very good idea 02:05:41.420 --> 02:05:43.100 that there was somebody downstairs. 02:05:43.100 --> 02:05:46.260 And ultimately, VP just cannot win a brawl. 02:05:46.260 --> 02:05:48.860 And Mr. Master's in messology. 02:05:48.860 --> 02:05:50.340 When there's eight people still alive 02:05:50.340 --> 02:05:52.060 and there's only 20 seconds left on the clock, 02:05:52.060 --> 02:05:54.420 you know it's going to give chaotic. 02:05:54.420 --> 02:05:57.340 There's no, even auctioneers can't talk fast enough 02:05:57.340 --> 02:06:01.360 to get that information so that you can turn on a dime and shut down your opponent. 02:06:01.360 --> 02:06:03.960 So kudos to G2 for the way they rode that one out. 02:06:03.960 --> 02:06:06.460 They called a timeout, which is a bit odd after winning the round. 02:06:06.460 --> 02:06:11.300 And to their credit, G2 have won five of the last six rounds, so they don't seem like they're 02:06:11.300 --> 02:06:13.940 in any trouble, but clearly they want to send this one away. 02:06:13.940 --> 02:06:18.380 And why not use your timeout to center yourself and send us over to map three? 02:06:18.380 --> 02:06:22.380 Well, I wonder if Ramalho wants to see maybe a bit more aggression from G2 in these early 02:06:22.380 --> 02:06:25.980 rounds, because again, sometimes those early plays have been a little bit scared inside 02:06:25.980 --> 02:06:30.300 of G2, Verspo really good at shutting that down, but if there are opportunities that 02:06:30.300 --> 02:06:33.540 Ramalho is seeing for G2 to get a bit more apt here, that could be what he's calling 02:06:33.540 --> 02:06:37.340 his attack time out for to try to encourage some of that more aggressive play. 02:06:37.340 --> 02:06:40.660 We haven't touched on it yet, but I just want to say quickly, of course, G2 going for the 02:06:40.660 --> 02:06:45.300 double shield ban up against Neko through 18 that's acting around before this game, Parker. 02:06:45.300 --> 02:06:50.260 He had 17 shield picks, and he's been on nothing but Blitz this entire first half. 02:06:50.260 --> 02:06:53.020 Expect the Blitz ban after this round, and it's going to put Neko in an awkward spot 02:06:53.020 --> 02:06:58.380 where you'll have to play an operator he's not really used to that is anything other than a shield off for these next few rounds 02:06:59.260 --> 02:07:02.460 Do you believe there'll be a shield ban because they didn't ban the blitz I? 02:07:03.260 --> 02:07:05.660 Think I think shall is a different ball game than bank 02:07:05.660 --> 02:07:10.900 I expect a blitz ban after this yeah Naco has looked a lot better on defense than he did on attack 02:07:10.900 --> 02:07:12.700 There is a possibility here, and I don't think you're wrong 02:07:12.820 --> 02:07:16.380 But there is a possibility here that there's another operator that they see as more 02:07:16.900 --> 02:07:22.180 Problematic that they can get rid of for example thatcher has been a staple for this VP team seems like an odd ban 02:07:22.180 --> 02:07:26.180 But if he's a major enabler for them, they'd have to respond with what? 02:07:26.180 --> 02:07:29.180 Either pocket EMPs, which will mean changing different operators, 02:07:29.180 --> 02:07:32.180 or going for a full clear, potentially underneath the bomb set. 02:07:32.180 --> 02:07:37.180 There's lots of options here for G2, and frankly, it's good that they're in this comfortable position 02:07:37.180 --> 02:07:41.180 because they have the availability to pick who they want to build. 02:07:41.180 --> 02:07:46.180 It doesn't just have to be a shield, though I think Blitz is probably going to be the choice to your credit. 02:07:46.180 --> 02:07:48.180 Benja taking care of Skies, and there's the Blitz we just talked about. 02:07:48.180 --> 02:07:52.020 We just talked about Neko marching in, dealing with the Kaid. 02:07:52.020 --> 02:07:55.260 This is reasons why I think the Blitz might not be banned, Jesse. 02:07:55.260 --> 02:07:57.420 He had really not been the most successful on that roll 02:07:57.420 --> 02:07:58.580 in the last two rounds. 02:07:58.580 --> 02:08:01.660 He's got control of Diffuse Kit inside of Dining Room. 02:08:01.660 --> 02:08:03.620 Benja, almost breaking double digits. 02:08:03.620 --> 02:08:05.540 Shiko, very close as well. 02:08:05.540 --> 02:08:07.900 Don't count out VP. 02:08:07.900 --> 02:08:08.860 Maybe count out VP. 02:08:08.860 --> 02:08:12.140 They're just down to Rorik now as G2, as I said that. 02:08:12.140 --> 02:08:13.580 Got a whole baby of kills. 02:08:13.580 --> 02:08:16.620 Doki and Rorik now in a 1v1. 02:08:16.620 --> 02:08:18.620 Rorick holds the defuse kit. 02:08:18.620 --> 02:08:20.460 Doki's got control from above, 02:08:20.460 --> 02:08:23.420 but Rorick doesn't seem to know where he is. 02:08:23.420 --> 02:08:24.700 Doki gets the read. 02:08:24.700 --> 02:08:26.780 He'll rotate over around towards the hatch, 02:08:26.780 --> 02:08:28.940 worried about Rorick falling off. 02:08:28.940 --> 02:08:31.140 Surely Doki saw him, right? 02:08:31.140 --> 02:08:34.500 Rorick attempting the fake, he'll go back on, now off. 02:08:34.500 --> 02:08:36.300 Doki can play time, he hears the sound call. 02:08:36.300 --> 02:08:40.140 Absolutely forcing Rorick off of this position. 02:08:40.140 --> 02:08:41.820 Rorick already had a clutch over on bank. 02:08:41.820 --> 02:08:44.100 Can he get the job done against Doki? 02:08:44.100 --> 02:08:45.660 Looks like he's gonna stick this one, 02:08:45.660 --> 02:08:46.940 falling off of the last second. 02:08:46.940 --> 02:08:48.460 Doki wins it. 02:08:48.460 --> 02:08:50.860 My goodness, sometimes it is that close 02:08:50.860 --> 02:08:52.860 and G2 moved to that point. 02:08:52.860 --> 02:08:54.980 It's never easy for G2 fans, is it? 02:08:54.980 --> 02:08:56.620 My God, clutch after clutch, 02:08:56.620 --> 02:08:58.340 but they get it done in the end. 02:08:58.340 --> 02:09:00.500 Doki masterfully playing with his food 02:09:00.500 --> 02:09:02.420 just up the hot floor, Parker. 02:09:02.420 --> 02:09:04.780 Making sure that he baits that sound a little bit. 02:09:04.780 --> 02:09:06.200 Fakes like he's gonna go for a drop. 02:09:06.200 --> 02:09:07.140 You see him sprinting. 02:09:07.140 --> 02:09:08.700 He's trying to put Rorick off the kit. 02:09:08.700 --> 02:09:10.060 He can't do so. 02:09:10.060 --> 02:09:11.540 He was on such little HP Rorick, 02:09:11.540 --> 02:09:13.380 so it was really tough to play that unfortunately 02:09:13.380 --> 02:09:16.660 down below despite how good he was breaking into the bomb site. 02:09:16.660 --> 02:09:17.660 The impact could have killed him. 02:09:17.660 --> 02:09:21.500 Yeah, the impact absolutely could have, but unfortunately it was a little bit off. 02:09:21.500 --> 02:09:22.500 Didn't matter in the end. 02:09:22.500 --> 02:09:24.940 Doki goes for the drop, wins that 1v1. 02:09:24.940 --> 02:09:27.020 You gotta give a lot of credit to Benja as well, I feel. 02:09:27.020 --> 02:09:28.020 Doki wins the clutch. 02:09:28.020 --> 02:09:31.180 She'll be the highlight player, but Benja did so well in the early game. 02:09:31.180 --> 02:09:32.940 They were worried about an electroclaw trick. 02:09:32.940 --> 02:09:33.940 You saw it from Roarx POV. 02:09:33.940 --> 02:09:36.700 He was waiting for the electroclaw, waiting for the electroclaw, waiting for the electroclaw. 02:09:36.700 --> 02:09:37.700 Waited for the electroclaw. 02:09:37.700 --> 02:09:38.700 It never came. 02:09:38.700 --> 02:09:41.060 The wall opened up, no problem, but that's because he had PCSG in hand and Benja hit 02:09:41.060 --> 02:09:45.940 some beautiful shots on the blitz and on that opening frag as well to give that massive 02:09:45.940 --> 02:09:50.740 man advantage over towards g2. That prompted you to say maybe you can count out vp. We couldn't 02:09:50.740 --> 02:09:56.900 but at the end they get counted out nonetheless by g2 and they'll earn themselves three opportunities 02:09:56.900 --> 02:10:01.140 to win this map. And not to not to denigrate rurik's success and contributions there jessie but 02:10:01.140 --> 02:10:05.380 that's exactly what i was talking about when i said impactless kills rurik picked up what a 3k in 02:10:05.380 --> 02:10:07.500 in that round and what was all for not. 02:10:08.940 --> 02:10:10.580 He gets three kills, he draws to a 9-9, 02:10:10.580 --> 02:10:12.180 he say, wow, he must have had a good match. 02:10:12.180 --> 02:10:13.500 And unfortunately, those three kills 02:10:13.500 --> 02:10:16.460 did not end up influencing the round result. 02:10:16.460 --> 02:10:18.460 It got them really close, 02:10:19.700 --> 02:10:21.820 but the impact is often measured by the conclusion 02:10:21.820 --> 02:10:23.660 and the conclusion was G2 winning the round. 02:10:23.660 --> 02:10:26.980 So you can pick up four kills in a 1v5, 02:10:26.980 --> 02:10:29.300 but if you lose that 1v1, people are gonna say, 02:10:29.300 --> 02:10:30.540 wow, that was a great opportunity, 02:10:30.540 --> 02:10:32.420 and sure, they'll share it on socials, 02:10:32.420 --> 02:10:35.280 but G2 still walks away with the round. 02:10:35.280 --> 02:10:39.420 He almost ended up losing Shiko there as he threw a Razor Bloom over towards Mudroom. 02:10:39.420 --> 02:10:41.100 Dan firing away. 02:10:41.100 --> 02:10:45.080 The Ying on the board has now been made aware of for G2, so they're going to need to bunker 02:10:45.080 --> 02:10:47.480 down this top floor bomb site and worry about the candelas. 02:10:47.480 --> 02:10:50.880 Yeah, there's a lot of players off site stomping and doping both down below, but this could 02:10:50.880 --> 02:10:53.600 be a rush from Virtus.pro if they are feeling it. 02:10:53.600 --> 02:10:57.280 They still got some players over on the piano side, Pasha in particular still over there, 02:10:57.280 --> 02:10:58.920 but look at these balcony players now. 02:10:58.920 --> 02:11:03.280 Rorick and Skye is ready to make things exciting here on the office doorway. 02:11:03.280 --> 02:11:06.440 Avenger will have to be sharp if this does end up being a rush play, and here come the 02:11:06.440 --> 02:11:09.480 Candels from Dan that might signal a start. 02:11:09.480 --> 02:11:13.360 Vault in, potentially, there it goes. 02:11:13.360 --> 02:11:18.080 Candelas go off, they've ultimately blinded themselves, Adrenal Surge 2, Doki taking damage, 02:11:18.080 --> 02:11:23.480 Venja taking damage, VP absolutely dominating, but hold on, it's the essence from G2, Stompin 02:11:23.480 --> 02:11:28.480 and Shiko working together to completely throw VP off of their momentum. 02:11:28.480 --> 02:11:31.440 The groove is gone, and it's a 3v3. 02:11:31.440 --> 02:11:35.920 The first minute of action is so good, down goes Alley Mal, the advantage swings back in favor of Virtus Pro. 02:11:35.920 --> 02:11:40.780 Shaco and Stompin will need to collect every kill in the round, make that just Stompin at this point. 02:11:40.780 --> 02:11:45.860 Dan down by the Razorbloom, Stompin working away, but it's a nice kill from Neko. 02:11:45.860 --> 02:11:52.960 If they actually trade, only one player ultimately survived that wasn't downed on the side of VP, but hey, 02:11:52.960 --> 02:11:54.460 they'll take it. 02:11:54.460 --> 02:11:59.360 Virtus Pro sticking around for one more opportunity, potentially two, 02:11:59.360 --> 02:12:01.680 as G2 still sits on that point. 02:12:01.680 --> 02:12:05.760 It's a risky gamble to call for a rush right when your opponents get onto that point, 02:12:05.760 --> 02:12:08.880 but Verzpro played those odds and it plays really well for them. 02:12:08.880 --> 02:12:12.480 I'm shocked that Definka Roark was able to get that opening frag in the midst of it. 02:12:12.480 --> 02:12:14.160 On my screen, that was full white. 02:12:14.160 --> 02:12:17.600 I don't know how he's finding the head in the midst of that chaos, 02:12:17.600 --> 02:12:21.280 but he managed to do so and it starts things off in the right foot for Verzpro. 02:12:21.280 --> 02:12:24.560 The other thing with that rush is it wasn't everybody just straight into the bomb site, 02:12:24.560 --> 02:12:26.640 like you often see for some of these teams. 02:12:26.640 --> 02:12:28.960 Instead, Pasha was all the way over towards games. 02:12:28.960 --> 02:12:34.600 He was kind of pressuring those roamers as his teammates were hitting the site and Neko the man of the hour the guy who hits that giant 02:12:34.720 --> 02:12:36.680 Multi-kill is actually coming in through solar 02:12:36.680 --> 02:12:38.640 He's playing those windows on the north side of the map 02:12:38.640 --> 02:12:45.000 Which really start to favor VP and start to apply that extra dimension that sometimes rushes miss inside of rainbow six right? 02:12:45.000 --> 02:12:49.600 You see the candellas coming you see the think of walking your way all your eyes are gonna be on that side of the map 02:12:49.600 --> 02:12:54.120 So when there's a backstab creeping through the other dimension it can be devastating for the defenders 02:12:54.120 --> 02:12:59.520 Structurally, a good round by Virtus.pro. Do keep in mind when G2 called their timeout two rounds ago, 02:12:59.520 --> 02:13:05.020 Virtus.pro is also allowed to talk to their team, so it's not just G2 who can settle things down. 02:13:05.020 --> 02:13:10.220 And there have been teams that have openly spoken about why they don't take late timeouts, 02:13:10.220 --> 02:13:14.020 it's because they know their opponents get an opportunity to work through it too. 02:13:14.020 --> 02:13:16.520 You don't necessarily want to let your opponent back in the match. 02:13:16.520 --> 02:13:21.720 I will say as well, Parker, we've been talking about Neko, the perma shield main throughout this matchup, 02:13:21.720 --> 02:13:25.440 And as soon as the third shield gets banned he hops on a gun and drops a 4k 02:13:25.840 --> 02:13:31.480 I'm a little fearful for G2 that you may have just unleashed the beast as now Neko the heart support 02:13:31.640 --> 02:13:38.040 IGL has been forced onto a gun and he might just be the most deadly player on this team. You were absolutely correct about the blitz ban 02:13:38.040 --> 02:13:43.400 I will say you were right. I know that that physically hurts me to say, but it is it is the truth 02:13:44.200 --> 02:13:48.680 You cast her cursed him Jesse. Alright, don't go for a swing there goes Neko and with it 02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:53.800 VP now need to hope that the round hasn't gone into the unreachable position. 02:13:55.400 --> 02:13:59.320 Rorak doing some damage. Doki taking even more. He's up to a dozen kills. 02:13:59.880 --> 02:14:05.080 A deceptive game for Doki. Rorak still posted up in this position. We'll get Ali now. Why are you swinging that spot? 02:14:06.440 --> 02:14:10.200 They might be feeling themselves on the side of G2 and you do have some extra runway to land this thing, 02:14:10.200 --> 02:14:16.760 but why give your opponent any breathing room here? Down goes Pasha to ignite yourself from Benji. G2 will regain the numbers of damage. 02:14:16.760 --> 02:14:22.000 He was trying to bail out Doki Parker. He's all on his lonesome over inside of office and he's still here, unfortunately. 02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:27.120 I mean, hasn't really been bailed out to any extent. They know his exact position, but as long as Doki sits still, 02:14:27.120 --> 02:14:28.960 there's really nothing that they can do to force him out. 02:14:28.960 --> 02:14:34.400 They've got a couple of bits of utility. One Nade on Warwick's probably gonna be their best tool to push this guy forward. 02:14:34.400 --> 02:14:39.640 They know he's just playing the half wall. This is so tense from Doki. His moment has to be chosen perfectly. 02:14:39.640 --> 02:14:54.640 Dan holding that Diffuse kit, waiting for G2 to swarm him, Doki gets yet another, Rorik dies, Nade just rolls away, Doki still surviving, Dan taking damage from the Razor Bloom, Stomping and Doki will now compete for this kill, an excellent position for G2. 02:14:54.640 --> 02:15:08.640 They ultimately choked the lead against Twisted Minds in that fateful third map yesterday, they are trying to prevent that here, but now two quick kills from VP with still plenty of time has made this way more winnable for Virtus Pro. 02:15:08.640 --> 02:15:12.600 I mean both Alnau and Stomp and kind of die trying to protect Doki in the midst of that 02:15:12.600 --> 02:15:15.280 I don't know that he needed the help did so much work on his own 02:15:15.280 --> 02:15:18.560 But because so many players tried to re-aggress onto that side of the map Parker 02:15:18.560 --> 02:15:23.080 It's now just a 2v2 I would be very comfortable with these two players still riding it out for G2 02:15:23.080 --> 02:15:26.160 Benjabaster and Shaco hoping to make VP look a little silly 02:15:26.840 --> 02:15:29.600 They managed to put it just in the hands of Skye's 02:15:30.160 --> 02:15:35.640 Diffuse kit he'll drop towards Lobby G2 can just watch these doorways and there'll be no hope for Virtus Pro 02:15:35.640 --> 02:15:38.340 especially since Skyz has given his position away. 02:15:38.340 --> 02:15:40.840 The Ying marching in, shake off the final kill, 02:15:40.840 --> 02:15:43.280 and we will go to a third map. 02:15:43.280 --> 02:15:45.760 You're never in danger until you lose at home, 02:15:45.760 --> 02:15:47.960 and both of these teams win their map, 02:15:47.960 --> 02:15:52.360 setting us up for a best of one showdown on boarder, 02:15:52.360 --> 02:15:53.560 coming up next. 02:22:35.640 --> 02:22:53.760 Do or maybe die tomorrow, I suppose is the stake here because neither of these teams 02:22:53.760 --> 02:22:56.040 are in jeopardy of going home. 02:22:56.040 --> 02:23:00.880 What is at stake is a spot on the main stage come Friday. 02:23:00.880 --> 02:23:05.880 One of these two teams will qualify for the main stage, joining FaZe Clan and Twisted 02:23:05.880 --> 02:23:11.360 Minds after this border shootout, one map to ultimately determine which of these teams 02:23:11.360 --> 02:23:12.360 is better. 02:23:12.360 --> 02:23:16.580 Now, I will say, I think both still could make a very good shot at qualifying, no matter 02:23:16.580 --> 02:23:17.580 what happens here. 02:23:17.580 --> 02:23:18.580 Yeah. 02:23:18.580 --> 02:23:23.200 But VP are going to look for some revenge after falling 2-0 to G2 during the EML kickoff. 02:23:23.200 --> 02:23:27.200 Yeah, it's a big revenge arc for Virtus.pro, of course, wanting to topple their regional 02:23:27.200 --> 02:23:28.880 rivals in G2. 02:23:28.880 --> 02:23:33.620 It's also a bit of a history repeating moment for G2 because just 24 hours ago they were 02:23:33.620 --> 02:23:40.000 denied a spot at main stage in an 8-7 Slauber knocker versus twisted mines and that was 02:23:40.000 --> 02:23:44.640 on cafe so you kind of worrying right back to where you were Parker where it's like 02:23:44.640 --> 02:23:49.600 is this going to happen again we've seen three map series that will go along that will make 02:23:49.600 --> 02:23:54.340 things very awkward and G2 need to be sharp in this matchup so they don't have the same 02:23:54.340 --> 02:23:57.120 thing happen again they cannot choke it at the last mile. 02:23:57.120 --> 02:24:01.840 But I was worrying what we were seeing on Chalet that maybe history would have repeated itself, right? 02:24:01.840 --> 02:24:07.040 There for the longest time G2 was in control of that cafe map against Twisted Minds. 02:24:07.040 --> 02:24:10.880 Ultimately, it goes to overtime G2 is the first round then drops the next two. 02:24:10.880 --> 02:24:17.360 Every time G2 was in a situation to capitalize yesterday against Twisted Minds, they were unable to do so. 02:24:17.360 --> 02:24:23.120 Now, that hasn't been the problem here against Virtus Pro, but Border is a very hectic map. 02:24:23.120 --> 02:24:28.540 In fact, Border has a lot of comparables to the map we just watched of Chalet. 02:24:28.540 --> 02:24:31.420 Lots of soft destruction, lots of vertical play. 02:24:31.420 --> 02:24:33.860 You can get shot through an abundance of walls. 02:24:33.860 --> 02:24:37.660 There's going to be a ton of action outside of the building, which is something that happened 02:24:37.660 --> 02:24:39.540 an awful lot on Chalet. 02:24:39.540 --> 02:24:44.580 So if Chalet is a comparable, it doesn't necessarily mean G2 is the favorite, but you're 02:24:44.580 --> 02:24:52.260 going to be feeling pretty comfortable playing on a tighter, smaller, more, I'm trying to 02:24:52.260 --> 02:24:54.080 Think of it, wait a minute. 02:24:54.080 --> 02:24:56.640 Sounds like they're going on a date, yes. 02:24:56.640 --> 02:25:00.200 It is a date, technically, a date for the main stage here. 02:25:00.200 --> 02:25:01.440 I was going to say hell in a cell, 02:25:01.440 --> 02:25:04.080 but I mean, we overuse that so regularly. 02:25:04.080 --> 02:25:06.960 Last minute comments coming in from the coaching staff 02:25:06.960 --> 02:25:08.160 on both of these teams. 02:25:08.160 --> 02:25:13.360 As, Jesse, we kick off our final map between these two teams. 02:25:13.360 --> 02:25:15.720 The community of supported G2, since the beginning, 02:25:15.720 --> 02:25:18.680 it bounced over towards Virtus.Pro ever so slightly. 02:25:18.680 --> 02:25:20.800 But you are now back in the pocket of G2. 02:25:20.800 --> 02:25:30.100 Will they be the third team and the second VML team to qualify for the main stage on Friday, or will VP stop the reverse sweep? 02:25:30.660 --> 02:25:37.700 Starting on the attack will be Virtus Pro. They have maybe the easier side here on this final decider map between these two squads. 02:25:37.700 --> 02:25:46.020 It was G2's choice on what side they wanted to start. They chose the defense, which I think is fine, just given how good their defenses have been so far at this tournament. 02:25:46.020 --> 02:25:53.820 Once again, both of these teams favoring their defense aside with around a 60% win rate on that defense, 40% on the attack, it's close for both. 02:25:53.820 --> 02:26:04.660 The Azami Band makes a lot of sense. Often on border, you'll see the Azami Band get paired along with a smoke, just to really shut down any E stairs pressure, but that's falling out of favor a bit over the last couple of months. 02:26:04.660 --> 02:26:11.980 It'll be a mute instead, so still kind of an operator that can hold down those E stairs, but now without those jammers, you're opening up the door for a Dokka. 02:26:11.980 --> 02:26:16.980 You're opening up the door for a snake. You're opening up the door for a grin even to come through if you hit those bees 02:26:16.980 --> 02:26:22.220 So there's some really good Intel operators that could make an appearance now for Virtus Pro since they banned out that mute 02:26:22.940 --> 02:26:29.500 Absolutely, and I mean with the Intel ops we've been harping on mute quite an awful lot moving moving through all of these maps 02:26:29.980 --> 02:26:35.820 It'll be interesting to see what value they can get here with those with those ops 02:26:36.380 --> 02:26:39.500 And immediately Rorick is gonna pick the Demos 02:26:39.500 --> 02:26:45.740 I don't know if they'll open up any other opportunities here G2 getting rid of the glass which is a terrific operator for this map 02:26:45.940 --> 02:26:52.860 Lots of good glass spots. You can put quite a bit of pressure over on security. You can work that vents balcony outside 02:26:52.940 --> 02:27:00.700 He's great on all the bottom floor maps the window in the vents the other the other vents by the way since there are two spots 02:27:00.700 --> 02:27:08.740 Often known as vents on this map and also the vending machine window leading into that bathroom tellers bomb site on the right side of your screen a 02:27:08.740 --> 02:27:11.780 a great operator, able to do so much, 02:27:11.780 --> 02:27:15.620 and more importantly, is able to empower other ops. 02:27:15.620 --> 02:27:18.720 We talk about shields and how they need some kind of escort 02:27:18.720 --> 02:27:20.320 or accompaniment. 02:27:20.320 --> 02:27:22.560 Blaz is a great operator to do that 02:27:22.560 --> 02:27:24.360 and allows somebody to work with those shields. 02:27:24.360 --> 02:27:25.400 And of course, without the Monty, 02:27:25.400 --> 02:27:28.300 any shields brought by VP, 02:27:28.300 --> 02:27:30.140 well, they're gonna have a little bit more difficulty 02:27:30.140 --> 02:27:31.460 keeping themselves safe. 02:27:31.460 --> 02:27:32.740 No blitz on the board for Neko, 02:27:32.740 --> 02:27:34.200 but he will be running shields pretty much 02:27:34.200 --> 02:27:36.880 every single round, and we'll start with the Blackbeard. 02:27:36.880 --> 02:27:40.200 Clearing up some of these razor blooms already is Dan here on the Twitch. 02:27:40.200 --> 02:27:43.840 Usually Shaka will play the Legion here on the top floor of Border 4 G2, 02:27:43.840 --> 02:27:48.880 so it's interesting to see that getting changed up a little bit from when we saw G2 play this map back during kickoff. 02:27:49.280 --> 02:27:52.680 Take a little bit more of a modern take, the thorn is towards the Legion. 02:27:55.680 --> 02:27:58.080 Just testing the bricks, making sure they're all up to code. 02:27:58.080 --> 02:27:58.680 No gun gym? 02:27:58.680 --> 02:28:00.280 We're standing in the boat, it's no gun gym. 02:28:00.280 --> 02:28:03.480 Everything is working fine here in the first round, that's good to see. 02:28:03.480 --> 02:28:06.480 And we'll get this front door shut open relatively quickly. 02:28:06.480 --> 02:28:08.480 It is an East Stairs pressure as well coming through. 02:28:08.480 --> 02:28:09.680 Doki was on this position. 02:28:09.680 --> 02:28:11.580 Shaka was here earlier as well. 02:28:11.580 --> 02:28:13.440 So you can kind of get aggressive on the set of the map 02:28:13.440 --> 02:28:14.980 if you're hungry for it for G2, 02:28:14.980 --> 02:28:16.480 but no hard hold with that. 02:28:16.480 --> 02:28:17.480 It's not only bad. 02:28:18.980 --> 02:28:22.480 That wall open now is this is a pretty respectable room 02:28:22.480 --> 02:28:24.280 from G2, very standard stuff. 02:28:24.280 --> 02:28:27.980 You've got that highway leading from fountain into security. 02:28:27.980 --> 02:28:29.380 You'll be able to watch those windows. 02:28:29.380 --> 02:28:30.880 You can also govern break room. 02:28:30.880 --> 02:28:33.180 There's a lot that you can do with this. 02:28:33.180 --> 02:28:36.460 Stompin will have some support from the Mira, a Benjamaster, 02:28:37.020 --> 02:28:40.980 early bit of contest now, as they made, like we intended for the barbed wire, but 02:28:41.420 --> 02:28:45.540 just out of reach of Stompin, I don't think the operator was the concern here, 02:28:45.540 --> 02:28:47.740 and there goes some of the floor as well, as now goes a flash. 02:28:47.940 --> 02:28:50.820 Stompin tucked into this corner, and what? 02:28:50.820 --> 02:28:53.100 No right to win that duel. 02:28:53.100 --> 02:28:57.020 Neko will want that one back, and Jesse, that's also case control. 02:28:57.140 --> 02:28:58.460 This is just Stompin things, man. 02:28:58.460 --> 02:29:02.140 Sometimes he takes impossible situations and still walks away with a gunfight 02:29:02.140 --> 02:29:06.040 that he goes his way. Ridiculous stuff from Stompin. I was surprised to not see him on 02:29:06.040 --> 02:29:09.860 the Aruni, but with the vigil, he's able to be a little bit more secretive, a little 02:29:09.860 --> 02:29:13.800 bit harder to pin down, and he gets that frag onto the Blackbeard, partly because of it. 02:29:13.800 --> 02:29:17.620 Now it gets awkward from Virtus.pro. Your spearhead is gone. How do you take space inside the 02:29:17.620 --> 02:29:21.300 building? You can try with the Bs, but it's not going to be the easiest thing in the world, 02:29:21.300 --> 02:29:24.980 so they rotate a few players over towards East and try to find an entry elsewhere. 02:29:24.980 --> 02:29:31.020 Yeah, this is going to be a rough one to wrestle that control away. Stompin deciding 02:29:31.020 --> 02:29:35.780 to go for Broke. I mean this round is also flown by, just 40 seconds left, just under 02:29:35.780 --> 02:29:41.460 that at this point in time. Here come the gadgetry from VP to isolate these players. Beautiful 02:29:41.460 --> 02:29:46.420 shot on the stomping, tucked in behind some debris on that banana portion of the map. 02:29:46.420 --> 02:29:49.580 And now push up towards the mirror window. Once you get security, that's the problem 02:29:49.580 --> 02:29:53.620 with that little rotate, right? You've got so much control over fountain, Shiko gets 02:29:53.620 --> 02:29:58.340 pounced upon. Virtus.Pro turned this one around, they suffered the first casualty, but here 02:29:58.340 --> 02:30:00.340 Here comes G2 off to the races. 02:30:00.340 --> 02:30:07.340 Beggar Master, sensational play, reducing just VP to Dan and Doki will send round one 02:30:07.340 --> 02:30:08.340 into the G2 win call. 02:30:08.340 --> 02:30:12.340 One of those rounds that maybe looks close in the number count Parker, but I truly think 02:30:12.340 --> 02:30:16.340 G2 were in control start to finish and it's all because of Stomp in. 02:30:16.340 --> 02:30:22.340 Even if he doesn't kill the Blackbeard there, he wasted two and a half minutes off the clock. 02:30:22.340 --> 02:30:24.340 A ridiculous time burn for G2. 02:30:24.340 --> 02:30:29.380 G2 so sure verse pro they got kind of a free pick in the midst of that to be in a 4v3 advantage 02:30:29.380 --> 02:30:35.220 But I honestly don't think it was ever in doubt that G2 were the favorites through that round even without the numbers advantage 02:30:35.220 --> 02:30:37.740 It just felt like there was no time to make that play happened 02:30:37.740 --> 02:30:41.860 They kind of collected themselves inside of open area inside of office 02:30:41.860 --> 02:30:47.660 And that would be a great place to mount and execute if you had any hard breach if you could actually get into the site from there 02:30:47.660 --> 02:30:52.980 But they were all funneling in through the few doorways the players on G2 at the end there were really good to close things out 02:30:52.980 --> 02:30:57.980 You know, Benja and Doki, excellence in that one, but despite just getting one frag, I think Stompin the MVP for me. 02:30:57.980 --> 02:31:02.980 Oh, absolutely. And he's had a very, very good series so far. 02:31:03.980 --> 02:31:06.980 Unfortunately, Jesse, your fun fact has broken. 02:31:06.980 --> 02:31:07.980 No. 02:31:07.980 --> 02:31:12.980 Stompin went negative on the map of Chalet that just followed this. 02:31:12.980 --> 02:31:19.980 So the first time that Stompin has yet to go even or positive, and I gotta say, it's gonna happen to everybody. 02:31:19.980 --> 02:31:20.980 Of course. 02:31:20.980 --> 02:31:23.740 Eventually you are going to go negative on a map, you are playing up against the best 02:31:23.740 --> 02:31:28.820 teams in the world, eventually you will have your number called by your opponents, but 02:31:28.820 --> 02:31:30.820 still quite an impressive run from the youngster. 02:31:30.820 --> 02:31:33.780 And the thing about Stompin is he's only going to continue to improve. 02:31:33.780 --> 02:31:37.780 He's already a terrific player, watching him grow has been quite a treat. 02:31:37.780 --> 02:31:40.100 This G2 squad flourished without him. 02:31:40.100 --> 02:31:43.540 Sometimes you don't need everybody to go possibly. 02:31:43.540 --> 02:31:44.540 That's the key point, right? 02:31:44.540 --> 02:31:47.220 I mean, G2 are a team that don't rely on Stompin. 02:31:47.220 --> 02:31:50.740 If things are going really well for them, Stompin often won't be getting into those 02:31:50.740 --> 02:31:55.140 high advantage situations where he's in a 1vx where he can pull off some ridiculous clutches. 02:31:55.140 --> 02:31:58.740 Round 1 was a bit of an uncharacteristic one where he is kind of the first line defense 02:31:58.740 --> 02:32:02.500 where he's getting aggressive, but that's just because the security position on the border is 02:32:02.500 --> 02:32:07.140 so difficult to play and you want kind of your best player in that spot. This time around Stompin 02:32:07.140 --> 02:32:10.500 will do it once more, but he's actually brought the denari here, Parker, and he's going to hold it 02:32:10.500 --> 02:32:15.460 down not just with the trips, but even a deployable shield set up inside a security for him to play around. 02:32:15.460 --> 02:32:19.540 He was playing some high-risk positions on Chalet on defense, certainly not the case on attack. 02:32:19.540 --> 02:32:23.460 He was playing that farther back supportive style of operator here on border though 02:32:23.460 --> 02:32:25.460 He's in kill positions quite frequently 02:32:25.660 --> 02:32:32.980 Security is a very important part of this map to hold you will see either a denari or an Ella playing on that table 02:32:33.900 --> 02:32:38.140 Controlling multiple avenues through that top floor that is going to be Stompens job 02:32:38.220 --> 02:32:43.820 He is in such a strong spot if he's enabled here it is if he's enabled by his teammates 02:32:43.820 --> 02:32:46.220 He can be some serious damage and they've called in the cavalry 02:32:46.220 --> 02:32:50.820 But Shiko missing all of his shots against Pasha, but one stop and trades him out 02:32:51.420 --> 02:32:57.020 And the shield will now breathe down his neck as Neko will want back that previous round 02:32:57.180 --> 02:33:03.060 Down goes stomping the Dan really good coordination here by VP and they have the numbers advantage with a little bit over a minute to go 02:33:03.060 --> 02:33:05.460 That the clear has been perfect and the Intel continues to flow 02:33:05.460 --> 02:33:11.900 They've got great things coming through and Alamo, but it doesn't save them great shot from the captain of G2 equals the numbers at 3 02:33:11.900 --> 02:33:16.060 I'm not even on any of these teams and I'm angry by the way that Neko's died two rounds in a row 02:33:16.060 --> 02:33:20.140 Oh, Rorick will give the lead back to VP in numbers. 02:33:20.140 --> 02:33:23.140 Allymount and Doki yet to die through that first round. 02:33:23.140 --> 02:33:24.580 I don't know if they're both going 02:33:24.580 --> 02:33:25.820 to make it at this point in time. 02:33:25.820 --> 02:33:27.220 Allymount in the afterlife now. 02:33:27.220 --> 02:33:31.020 Doki 2-0, top player on Chalet, a key part 02:33:31.020 --> 02:33:33.100 of why we are here at border. 02:33:33.100 --> 02:33:35.020 But it's hard to win a 1-V3 on this map. 02:33:35.020 --> 02:33:37.260 You are in such close proximity to the attackers 02:33:37.260 --> 02:33:38.140 at all times. 02:33:38.140 --> 02:33:38.860 He just shot. 02:33:38.860 --> 02:33:40.020 That gives the game away, Parker. 02:33:40.020 --> 02:33:41.740 He's not on site, so it's free for Dan. 02:33:41.740 --> 02:33:44.420 Holds the angle and perfectly catches the one player left 02:33:44.420 --> 02:33:45.740 alive on G2. 02:33:45.740 --> 02:33:53.740 To equalize this map, a really good clear coming out from Virtus.pro Parker, when that bombsite goes a floor below, it really expands this map. 02:33:53.740 --> 02:33:59.740 One of the biggest reasons why this map can be so easy for the attackers is because you can take a lot of the spikes from outside the building, 02:33:59.740 --> 02:34:05.740 you can force a lot of those early gunfights in your favor, and G2, they just weren't able to win some of them unfortunately, right? 02:34:05.740 --> 02:34:11.740 It comes in from across the mezzanine, it comes in from inside Break Room, and Wasta is a nice frag from stomping the midst of it. 02:34:11.740 --> 02:34:17.260 He gets traded out. He's only good enough for one. I love that clear come through from the top floor of VP 02:34:17.260 --> 02:34:19.980 You'd be forgiven not recognizing the bombsite was a floor below 02:34:20.700 --> 02:34:23.500 All the action top floor and that will do it for VP 02:34:23.500 --> 02:34:24.000 Yeah 02:34:24.000 --> 02:34:31.020 I mean we have seen time and time again teams play in that spot inside of security with that scorpion because you're always going to be engaging in 02:34:31.660 --> 02:34:33.300 Relatively close quarters fights 02:34:33.300 --> 02:34:37.540 Scorpion is a gun where players have been able to get the recoil down well enough 02:34:37.540 --> 02:34:41.120 especially since the horizontal recoil on the gun isn't as bad as it used to be. 02:34:41.120 --> 02:34:45.380 But you can win the occasional long-range duel, but you are best served using that bullet hose 02:34:45.540 --> 02:34:49.700 when they are right in front of you. Again, whether it's an Ella, whether it's a Denari, 02:34:49.700 --> 02:34:55.680 you've got that gun and an Ella? Great, because you can use the Guzman mines for intel and most importantly to stop shields. 02:34:55.680 --> 02:34:57.900 Denari working the same way with those tripwires. 02:34:58.300 --> 02:34:59.980 Stabba will once again play the Denari. 02:34:59.980 --> 02:35:03.260 I don't know if that's the part of the map that he will occupy. It sure looks like it. 02:35:03.260 --> 02:35:03.760 It will be. 02:35:03.760 --> 02:35:05.940 But he does need somebody to help him out. 02:35:05.940 --> 02:35:10.940 You cannot play on an island here, both times G2's had somebody backing him up to 50-50 success. 02:35:10.940 --> 02:35:13.940 Well, G2 are doing something that we basically never see in Siege Barker. 02:35:13.940 --> 02:35:17.940 They're playing the exact same site with the exact same operator lineup, 02:35:17.940 --> 02:35:23.940 and this is kind of the reason why you don't see teams run back the exact same strat twice in a row, 02:35:23.940 --> 02:35:25.940 because it gets kind of predictable. 02:35:25.940 --> 02:35:27.940 They spot-stop and inside of security. 02:35:27.940 --> 02:35:31.940 They punish maybe an aggressive move coming out from the youngster on G2, 02:35:31.940 --> 02:35:34.940 and one way or another, Verzpro are able to clean up that frag. 02:35:34.940 --> 02:35:41.140 That's a devastating loss to come through. The one MVP that they got a round from earlier will not be in play for round 3. 02:35:41.140 --> 02:35:43.060 Yeah, Rorick's had some really big moments. 02:35:43.060 --> 02:35:45.700 Winning rounds, almost winning rounds. 02:35:45.700 --> 02:35:51.900 The impact of his kills have been noted multiple times through this series, and I mean, that's a big pick to open up this part of the map. 02:35:51.900 --> 02:35:53.260 And it comes at a pretty good time. 02:35:53.260 --> 02:35:58.580 Now, Rorick's only gonna be good enough for one kill because Doki shuts him down, and now it's Neko in pursuit. 02:35:58.580 --> 02:36:03.580 Two rounds in a row, Neko has been kind of screwed out of his opportunities. 02:36:03.580 --> 02:36:08.100 I think that's fair to say both deaths from Neko have been befuddled 02:36:09.580 --> 02:36:16.660 He's got two almost three remaining players of this VP squad assembled near him fighting against Doki 02:36:16.660 --> 02:36:20.780 Who wisely falls off good clock management from G2? Yeah, I like that drop 02:36:20.780 --> 02:36:24.340 It's not a full commit from the Rome game force Alamo and Shaco still up here on the top floor 02:36:24.340 --> 02:36:29.700 But Doki's position was known so why stick around to potentially lose the fight leave it up to your other teammates who can make some 02:36:29.700 --> 02:36:31.700 aggressive moves Shaco in the hallway 02:36:31.700 --> 02:36:36.700 Playing with the idea, Parker, but I think just deciding that in the 4v4 it's not worth it. 02:36:36.700 --> 02:36:39.700 This is going to be favoring G2 as the time continues to tick down. 02:36:39.700 --> 02:36:41.700 They're not the ones who have to make the aggressive move. 02:36:41.700 --> 02:36:44.700 The drones will come out though, and Alina is in a difficult spot. 02:36:44.700 --> 02:36:47.700 He's got the hatch open to escape, but he has to be able to drop through it in time. 02:36:47.700 --> 02:36:50.700 We know he's up here. 02:36:50.700 --> 02:36:51.700 At least they do now. 02:36:51.700 --> 02:36:53.700 Oh, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl. 02:36:53.700 --> 02:36:54.700 Can't be doing that. 02:36:54.700 --> 02:36:56.700 He'll escape over towards security. 02:36:56.700 --> 02:37:00.700 He knows there's one over by the 90 position, looking through the wall too, technically. 02:37:00.700 --> 02:37:02.700 But Carl still frags so well. 02:37:02.700 --> 02:37:04.700 Benjamaster technically credited with that kill. 02:37:04.700 --> 02:37:06.700 That's the mirror getting in on the action. 02:37:06.700 --> 02:37:08.700 Neko takes down Ali Mal. 02:37:08.700 --> 02:37:10.700 But look at the time management. 02:37:10.700 --> 02:37:12.700 G2 in a number's disadvantage. 02:37:12.700 --> 02:37:14.700 But with only 40 seconds left on the clock, 02:37:14.700 --> 02:37:17.700 this is more winnable for G2 than you'd think. 02:37:17.700 --> 02:37:20.700 Yeah, but they've still got some good space to try to work things from, Parker. 02:37:20.700 --> 02:37:22.700 They know Doki's position now just inside events. 02:37:22.700 --> 02:37:24.700 If they can find one of these two isolated players, 02:37:24.700 --> 02:37:25.700 that can make all the difference. 02:37:25.700 --> 02:37:28.700 Thorn traps charge out 30 seconds to make this execute happen. 02:37:28.700 --> 02:37:34.220 you have it. Niko will drop on in the month or rather the blitz will be under watch. Pasha shreds 02:37:34.220 --> 02:37:40.060 Benjamaster. This is a rough spot for Doki. He's on a tiny portion of HP. There's no way VP was 02:37:40.060 --> 02:37:45.740 losing that. It looked good for about 20 seconds. And then it did not look very good for G2. Big 02:37:45.740 --> 02:37:51.500 round for VP. Really just good droning coming through from Virtus Pro. This roam clear has been 02:37:51.500 --> 02:37:55.420 excellent to come up from them. And you can go back to round number one Parker, right? If Virtus 02:37:55.420 --> 02:38:00.860 Pro are able to take that security control. If Stompin doesn't get that crazy kill onto the shield player to start this map, 02:38:00.860 --> 02:38:05.580 they could have even been up 3-0 here in this execute. I mean, they were doing a good job of punishing the 02:38:06.020 --> 02:38:11.460 aggressive moves being played out by G2. This is border. You have to play aggressively on the defense. 02:38:11.460 --> 02:38:15.060 I'm not saying I want them to rein it back in, but they've got to find some kind of an answer. 02:38:15.060 --> 02:38:22.100 Now VP will ban this Mira, and I think the reason why G2 wanted to run that bombsite and strategy back for a second time 02:38:22.100 --> 02:38:28.180 was because they were worried about that. They didn't want the Miraband to come through and not allow them to play that strap for a second time. 02:38:28.900 --> 02:38:35.460 Unfortunately though, it is 2 for 2 for Virtus.pro, and it just gets a little bit messy, I think, for G2 on the top floor. 02:38:35.460 --> 02:38:41.900 You know, Alinao is being chased around like a Monty Hillskit around the top floor of Border, just trying to dodge that blitz. 02:38:41.900 --> 02:38:49.660 He gets one great kill, but ultimately it is only so much that he can do. The top floor play not good enough from G2 on these roam games. 02:38:49.660 --> 02:38:55.540 They will reassess and bring the bomb site back up top, but when they go towards these fifth and sixth rounds Parker 02:38:55.540 --> 02:38:57.540 They will need different answers for the room 02:38:58.740 --> 02:39:04.020 I'm all worried about G2 you cannot roam is freely on this map, right? It is quite chaotic. It is quite claustrophobic 02:39:04.540 --> 02:39:11.780 You said intimate. I do believe G2 and VP swiped right mutually so they are now here together on a beautiful day on border 02:39:12.420 --> 02:39:14.420 looking at all the beige and 02:39:14.880 --> 02:39:20.000 Sand colored walls and all that adorn it. It's not where I would go for a first date, but it's got a charm 02:39:20.000 --> 02:39:22.720 It would you swipe right on G2 or VP? Oh, absolutely 02:39:23.120 --> 02:39:25.120 Which one would you swipe right on hard? 02:39:25.840 --> 02:39:28.920 Don't answer that. Okay. Don't want to be called a bias caster 02:39:29.960 --> 02:39:33.160 No, I mean it is it is a very it is a very small map 02:39:33.160 --> 02:39:39.200 So because of that your ability to rotate again will get caught and it's something that we talked about on chalet, too 02:39:39.200 --> 02:39:44.640 If you are playing in a portion of this map of the only ways to drop a hatch or vault over towards lobby 02:39:45.520 --> 02:39:50.400 Usually the attackers will have a line of sight there unless something's gone really really wrong and VP are 02:39:51.640 --> 02:39:55.940 They're playing very close together. Yeah, they are playing very intimately themselves. Jesse 02:39:56.360 --> 02:40:00.280 Let's bend up so Neko jumps on the block here. This is what he brought back in the first round 02:40:00.280 --> 02:40:05.160 Anyway, so it's not like he's had to adapt it all throughout this push trying to clear him through the east side of the map 02:40:05.160 --> 02:40:09.960 This is again going to be where verse focus is it was stomping they got that opening pick inside of security 02:40:09.960 --> 02:40:13.380 He is being supported of course by Benja just in that break room position 02:40:13.900 --> 02:40:15.600 Nobody down below for posh define 02:40:15.600 --> 02:40:20.020 So it's really good to be on these players out on the balcony to try to find these picks whether it's the Grim 02:40:20.020 --> 02:40:25.080 Whether it's some other big fragging operators coming through like the block beard. They've got to be able to get these players out. Oh 02:40:25.920 --> 02:40:28.280 Skies punished by Benja 02:40:28.800 --> 02:40:33.900 We talked about what the mute band would entail for VP and they have used these Intel ops 02:40:33.900 --> 02:40:37.680 But they haven't really needed them frankly on a map of this size 02:40:37.680 --> 02:40:41.160 It obviously helps it can really aid you especially if you fear the realm 02:40:41.160 --> 02:40:44.580 But VP will now have to do this round without the solid snake 02:40:44.580 --> 02:40:50.800 They've got no Intel really remaining outside of maybe if you want to call Blackbeard and Intel off which I wouldn't or the Twitch drones as well 02:40:50.800 --> 02:40:56.760 From Dan, but this might be just a dry execute from VP at this point in time the day just continues to shoot away 02:40:57.260 --> 02:40:59.580 Rorick is gone. That's another from Benja 02:40:59.580 --> 02:41:04.580 VP on the board. G2 seemingly cannot get more than two kills without an answer back. 02:41:04.580 --> 02:41:08.580 Down goes Dan at the hands of Ali Mal. This is a great spot in it. 02:41:08.580 --> 02:41:15.580 All these long-range guns. Two from a DMR. Two from the TCSG and NAKO will find himself in a 1v4. 02:41:15.580 --> 02:41:20.580 Taken care of by Shiko. G2 will answer back and tie up the map. 02:41:20.580 --> 02:41:25.580 Frags have been good from both these teams, Parker. We answer back and forth and back again. 02:41:25.580 --> 02:41:27.820 Again, G2, Tyusit2, and you're right, 02:41:27.820 --> 02:41:30.860 it's those long range weaponry being brought out by G2 02:41:30.860 --> 02:41:31.980 that's really giving them the edge 02:41:31.980 --> 02:41:33.340 in some of these gunfights. 02:41:33.340 --> 02:41:35.780 The TCSG is not an easy gun to control 02:41:35.780 --> 02:41:37.220 at some of these distances, Parker. 02:41:37.220 --> 02:41:38.360 You've got to be hitting the head, 02:41:38.360 --> 02:41:40.980 but if anybody is to be trusted in such a role, 02:41:40.980 --> 02:41:42.620 of course it's going to be Benja. 02:41:42.620 --> 02:41:44.640 Just a beautiful round to come through from him. 02:41:44.640 --> 02:41:46.020 He plays that break room position. 02:41:46.020 --> 02:41:48.260 He's very close to stomping on that top floor roam, 02:41:48.260 --> 02:41:51.080 but man, he is so good when he needs to be 02:41:51.080 --> 02:41:52.940 out and out back on site with the DMR too, 02:41:52.940 --> 02:41:54.540 just so clean on some of those fights. 02:41:54.540 --> 02:42:00.800 You know, it's not complicated siege, right? It's not like we're seeing glass come through obviously he's banned 02:42:00.800 --> 02:42:05.260 It's not some yin kendala's coming forward. It's not a bunch of shield play even though Neko was here 02:42:05.260 --> 02:42:08.000 He wasn't really a big factor in this round last alive 02:42:08.020 --> 02:42:11.900 She's coming down to these simple fights and see simple angles that VP are pushing 02:42:11.900 --> 02:42:17.380 They don't have the information if that snake goes down early those fights start to lean in favor of the defenders 02:42:17.380 --> 02:42:21.060 And so G2 I think working that early pick on the skies was a big factor for them 02:42:21.060 --> 02:42:23.460 They keep that up. This could really start to tilt their way 02:42:24.540 --> 02:42:29.620 I mean, as long as you've got Stomp and Doki and Benjamaster holding down the early moments of the round, 02:42:29.620 --> 02:42:34.020 you allow guys like Ali Mow and Shiko to play those support slash floater positions. 02:42:34.020 --> 02:42:36.220 And that's what Shiko's been doing through a lot of his math. 02:42:36.220 --> 02:42:38.220 He's been floating. 02:42:38.220 --> 02:42:41.660 And I don't mean that like the Kobe lacks, like the whole dark hero, like, we're floating. 02:42:41.660 --> 02:42:44.700 Like, no, I mean, he's just, he's playing this mid position. 02:42:44.700 --> 02:42:50.740 He's allowing Stomp and either enabled by Benja or Doki, as that was the case on those security defenses, 02:42:50.740 --> 02:42:53.980 to ultimately be empowered and trade off really quickly. 02:42:53.980 --> 02:42:58.780 G2 is usually a very good team at trading. VP to their credit, I've been doing a pretty good job as well. 02:42:58.940 --> 02:43:04.540 But Shiko has not needed to be involved in a lot of these rounds and unfortunately, 02:43:04.540 --> 02:43:11.480 all of his deaths have come when VP have been able to mob him because they so heavily outnumber G2. 02:43:11.620 --> 02:43:14.620 You saw what Shiko was able to do from that floater position in the previous round. 02:43:14.620 --> 02:43:18.800 It was a very good kill to seal the deal. If he could stay alive, we'd start to see his stocks rise, 02:43:18.800 --> 02:43:23.780 but do not panic Shiko fans. This is just the way that he's been used so far on board. 02:43:23.980 --> 02:43:28.460 that you weren't expecting to Kobylax reference in G2 vs. Crow, but we fit it in there, don't worry. 02:43:28.460 --> 02:43:32.780 Somebody has a parlay, and they just screamed with joy. 02:43:33.420 --> 02:43:37.980 Oh boy. Well, Shaco is close to getting one of those early gun fights that we're maybe waiting for, 02:43:37.980 --> 02:43:41.180 Parker. He's playing over on that East Stairs, but as soon as he gets tracked by the Snake, 02:43:41.180 --> 02:43:45.900 he says, screw it, I'm not sticking around any longer. Somewhat retaking to position now over 02:43:45.900 --> 02:43:49.820 here on East, he'd like to play this position again with the Azami just to block off some of these 02:43:49.820 --> 02:43:55.660 angles, but spanned out so he's over to his classic lesion. It's Benja. TCSG continues to ring out 02:43:55.660 --> 02:44:02.300 another pick from him on that gun. Neko has been on an island a lot of times, Jesse, and I liked a 02:44:02.300 --> 02:44:07.260 good one, Sip and Margaritas. I'm talking East Strand and it's cast away. Down goes Posh at the 02:44:07.260 --> 02:44:12.380 hands of Stoppin, once again playing so smartly in this position, Scorpion in hand, over by security, 02:44:12.380 --> 02:44:17.500 death taxes, and well, you know exactly what I just said. Nitroso goes in masterfully timed by Benja 02:44:17.500 --> 02:44:25.240 Master down goes Rorick Dan and skies will look and survey the destruction of their team as barely a point of damage 02:44:25.240 --> 02:44:28.980 Has been done to G2 in fact. I don't think a single bullet has landed from VP 02:44:28.980 --> 02:44:33.500 I think that damage from Ali now is just simply or it's crashing through a bunch of walls like the Kool-Aid man 02:44:33.700 --> 02:44:37.920 Down goes Dan at the hands of Shaco and now it's all up to skies F2 02:44:38.320 --> 02:44:42.460 Cannot compete that floater position of Shaco coming in handy 02:44:42.460 --> 02:44:47.260 flawlessly won by G2, a 3k from Shiko, and it's G2 with the lead. 02:44:47.260 --> 02:44:50.600 So the new pickups really from G2 that are shining late here on 02:44:50.600 --> 02:44:54.800 Border Parker, Shiko with a couple of big kills, but Benjamin Dorelli, really the 02:44:54.800 --> 02:44:58.760 star in my mind here for these last couple of rounds from G2, playing nearly 02:44:58.760 --> 02:45:03.280 a perfect game with the TCSG, with the nitro cells holding the angles that he 02:45:03.280 --> 02:45:06.840 needs to, but not over committing to put himself in a spot where he could go down. 02:45:06.840 --> 02:45:11.800 Benjamin was dropped from this G2 team actually almost exactly two years after 02:45:11.800 --> 02:45:16.680 their devastating result at, I believe, the Manchester Major, where they got last place 02:45:16.680 --> 02:45:21.800 losing to Fear X. That Fear X team coached by Dark, who has just called attack timeout 02:45:21.800 --> 02:45:26.600 for Virtus Pro now. So you're seeing kind of the old characters meet up in different 02:45:26.600 --> 02:45:31.920 ways. Benja has been so good for this G2 team since coming back from North America, and 02:45:31.920 --> 02:45:34.880 I think it's made a big difference on G2's game as a whole. 02:45:34.880 --> 02:45:39.560 This has been a very smart play from Benja, time and time again and again. And a lot of 02:45:39.560 --> 02:45:42.400 those kills that Stompin got early on was also enabled by Benja. 02:45:42.400 --> 02:45:47.960 Mike, can Stompin play as confidently in CCTV if there's no mirror window there with Benja 02:45:47.960 --> 02:45:48.960 there for backup? 02:45:48.960 --> 02:45:49.960 The answer is no. 02:45:49.960 --> 02:45:50.960 He can't. 02:45:50.960 --> 02:45:54.200 If a shield is going to hop in that window and Stompin is unsupported, that's a 50-50 02:45:54.200 --> 02:45:55.200 gunfight. 02:45:55.200 --> 02:45:56.200 I would even say the numbers are worse than that. 02:45:56.200 --> 02:45:58.560 It's about a 30-70 gunfight for Stompin. 02:45:58.560 --> 02:46:03.400 And while he did win it on round number one, again, in somewhat puzzling fashion to Neko, 02:46:03.400 --> 02:46:05.400 you've got Benja backing him up. 02:46:05.400 --> 02:46:07.560 We say this about some of the low-fragging IGLs. 02:46:07.560 --> 02:46:09.460 We've said it about Ali Mal, we've talked about it, 02:46:09.460 --> 02:46:11.560 Vita King and Canadian were the two you used at the top here, 02:46:11.560 --> 02:46:13.560 so I'm going to bring them back into this discussion. 02:46:13.560 --> 02:46:16.560 But there are lots of times where you are funneling players 02:46:16.560 --> 02:46:18.560 to your other teammates. 02:46:18.560 --> 02:46:22.560 So, Benjamaster, even though he is leading the team in kills, 02:46:22.560 --> 02:46:26.560 Benjamaster's kill tally could be even higher 02:46:26.560 --> 02:46:28.560 if he was the one picking up the kills and the trades 02:46:28.560 --> 02:46:31.560 that Stompin wasn't able to muster earlier in the round. 02:46:31.560 --> 02:46:34.560 So, all told, one of the quieter players on G2 02:46:34.560 --> 02:46:42.560 is having a huge impact here, and the success that G2 is having on boarder would not be had without Benjamaster's performance. 02:46:42.560 --> 02:46:43.560 That's a great point. 02:46:43.560 --> 02:46:50.560 G2 led 3-2 on Chalet, and it prompted attack timeout from Dark on VP, and it didn't work out for them, Parper. 02:46:50.560 --> 02:46:52.560 It ended up being a 4-2 split. 02:46:52.560 --> 02:47:00.560 He's done it once again. If this also doesn't go the way of Burt as pro, you start to wonder about the effectiveness of these tactical timeouts. 02:47:00.560 --> 02:47:05.000 Of course, you always want to be able to get at least an even half here in Siege, but 02:47:05.900 --> 02:47:10.960 When you've got this mandatory time-up between halves anyways, you always kind of question mark, right? 02:47:10.960 --> 02:47:15.300 It's only one round you're calling this tack time-up for so it must be good 02:47:15.320 --> 02:47:20.060 It wasn't in the second map it eventually resulted in a map lost for Virtus Pro 02:47:20.060 --> 02:47:22.420 That's why we're here on border to begin with 02:47:22.940 --> 02:47:25.780 This is a really big gamble coming out from the coach from VP 02:47:25.780 --> 02:47:30.420 And I really hope that they know what they're doing with this last call feeling they must get the 3-3 split 02:47:30.420 --> 02:47:43.420 The bombslayer has gone back to Vent's workshop, and to be fair, this is the bombslayer that VP had been dominating on to start to finish, but with the mirror banned out, it's a new strategy coming out from G2, it's new ops all around, and you'll have a different approach to try to hold down this bottom floor site. 02:47:43.420 --> 02:47:53.020 site. A minute here in G2 now, looking for some swings, looking to bring the heat 02:47:53.020 --> 02:47:56.700 towards his BP team. Doki needs to now be worried of what might be behind him. A 02:47:56.700 --> 02:48:01.260 missed opportunity from BP on that repel will give Doki information that he 02:48:01.260 --> 02:48:05.020 uses wisely to scoot off of that position, shuffling back towards the bomb 02:48:05.020 --> 02:48:10.500 site. Shaco will find kill number one on disguise, floating position, but this 02:48:10.500 --> 02:48:16.740 time involved in the fray earlier. G2 have surrendered control of office. Bombsite is 02:48:16.740 --> 02:48:21.780 down below, so now with your VP you've got to cut through that top floor, and G2 roughly 02:48:21.780 --> 02:48:25.900 around the same time as before have now decided to head towards that main floor. 02:48:25.900 --> 02:48:31.020 We're gonna lurk up those stairs, but he gets traded right back by Stomp and Parker. 02:48:31.020 --> 02:48:34.140 That's gonna be what he wants back, unfortunately. The position just known at the end, and it's 02:48:34.140 --> 02:48:37.700 a good trade from the youngster.

Enterprise 02:52:47.520 --> 02:52:53.480 gaming will go up against Shopify rebellion Jesse that one has all the 02:52:53.480 --> 02:52:58.960 makings of being an unforgettable best of three let's hope that it lives up to 02:52:58.960 --> 02:53:03.160 it that will come shortly after a break once this match concludes but before 02:53:03.160 --> 02:53:07.780 then will it be G2 will it be VP we do know that it will be in the MLT that's 02:53:07.780 --> 02:53:09.220 That's for certain. 02:53:09.220 --> 02:53:11.620 Well, it's been a very competitive series so far, Parker. 02:53:11.620 --> 02:53:16.100 It looks like Virtus.Pro were going to run away with it going up 4-0 on the very first map, 02:53:16.100 --> 02:53:19.860 but that was a long time ago now, and it's not in the backs of any of these players' minds. 02:53:19.860 --> 02:53:22.580 The only thing that matters are these next six rounds. 02:53:22.580 --> 02:53:24.420 VP trying to make up a 4-2 deficit. 02:53:24.420 --> 02:53:26.380 They banned the Snake for their second operator. 02:53:26.380 --> 02:53:29.860 That'll be a Benja target fan, and this is one of his favorite operators to play, 02:53:29.860 --> 02:53:34.380 certainly on-boarder, but throughout this tournament, it's his most played operator in Salt Lake City. 02:53:34.380 --> 02:53:38.060 So you're gonna take that off the board or move a bit of information here for G2 02:53:38.060 --> 02:53:43.060 And what is kind of a strategy gonna come out for from VP? It's gonna be this castle the trunk is set up a 02:53:43.820 --> 02:53:48.860 Nade kill in 2026. All right, didn't have that simple geometry. Yes, see they that's all they did 02:53:48.860 --> 02:53:53.620 They just they bounced it multiple times and that heat seeking made lands in the lap of 02:53:54.260 --> 02:54:02.180 Skies Skies has come crashing back down to earth. Yeah after an incredible bank over on Chalet 02:54:02.180 --> 02:54:05.500 He was even he went from positive to even the deep negative 02:54:05.500 --> 02:54:08.340 That is not the direction you want to go as this series tightens up 02:54:08.340 --> 02:54:13.020 Yeah, really tough to see from the Parisian of course playing his first international event in Salt Lake City 02:54:13.020 --> 02:54:17.540 So you're hoping to see him bounce back, but it won't be in around seven now damn a bit of a wrap spot 02:54:17.540 --> 02:54:20.420 Shifu pressure into offices lots of different dimensions of his push 02:54:20.420 --> 02:54:23.420 But it's all going G2 and G2's taken quite a bit of damage here 02:54:23.420 --> 02:54:27.100 So they traded out HP consistently to do this to Virtus Pro 02:54:27.100 --> 02:54:31.840 So, what you don't want as VP is to lose your first round in a hurry. 02:54:31.840 --> 02:54:33.340 You have to show some fight. 02:54:33.340 --> 02:54:37.220 I know they've got that dog in them, but right now it looks like it's maybe still a bit 02:54:37.220 --> 02:54:38.220 puffy. 02:54:38.220 --> 02:54:39.220 Gotta grow up a little bit. 02:54:39.220 --> 02:54:40.940 Pasha and Rorik, the only two still standing. 02:54:40.940 --> 02:54:41.940 There goes Shiko. 02:54:41.940 --> 02:54:44.860 Benjamaster and Alley now, also very low. 02:54:44.860 --> 02:54:49.700 Just as we said about G2 a number of rounds ago, this is more winnable for VP than it 02:54:49.700 --> 02:54:51.900 might first appear. 02:54:51.900 --> 02:54:53.140 Watch out for this time though. 02:54:53.140 --> 02:54:55.540 Minute 15, so much to work with still from G2. 02:54:55.540 --> 02:54:57.420 They've got all bodies around this bomb site. 02:54:57.420 --> 02:54:59.980 They've got good map control from top to bottom. 02:54:59.980 --> 02:55:01.620 The guns are very good from BP. 02:55:01.620 --> 02:55:02.220 I'll say that. 02:55:02.220 --> 02:55:05.580 Two long-range GMRs, both the Tuber out and the Aruni. 02:55:05.580 --> 02:55:08.100 It will be all in the mechanics of both Rorik and Pasha 02:55:08.100 --> 02:55:10.540 to hit some brilliant shots to make sure that this one doesn't 02:55:10.540 --> 02:55:12.300 spiral out of their control. 02:55:12.300 --> 02:55:14.900 The good thing for G2 is that they did all of this so quickly, 02:55:14.900 --> 02:55:17.140 Jesse, that they have time to course correct. 02:55:17.140 --> 02:55:18.900 And they have called to swap up now 02:55:18.900 --> 02:55:20.300 as they will take out on vents. 02:55:20.300 --> 02:55:21.420 Down goes Rorik. 02:55:21.420 --> 02:55:22.420 Pasha swinging over. 02:55:22.420 --> 02:55:25.700 They'll see him from the window, target acquired. 02:55:25.700 --> 02:55:28.980 Oh my, there goes Ali now, but Doki will find the frag 02:55:28.980 --> 02:55:31.500 as the Diffuse Kit was getting planted. 02:55:31.500 --> 02:55:34.580 Five, two, four G2. 02:55:34.580 --> 02:55:36.580 I fear for Virtus Pro that this match 02:55:36.580 --> 02:55:39.060 is just starting to get out of reach. 02:55:39.060 --> 02:55:41.140 Six minutes left, that's all it'll take. 02:55:41.140 --> 02:55:43.940 G2 really saw an attack coming through on the tall floor. 02:55:43.940 --> 02:55:45.500 It doesn't get cleaner than that Parker. 02:55:45.500 --> 02:55:48.220 It starts with just a brilliant frag grenade. 02:55:48.220 --> 02:55:49.780 You said it, of course, when those nades 02:55:49.780 --> 02:55:51.060 they bounce off certain walls, 02:55:51.060 --> 02:55:55.060 to make the fuse time a little shorter, makes it a little bit easier to actually get a Nade kill, 02:55:55.060 --> 02:56:00.740 which is, again, quite rare in 2026, but it was perfectly tossed out by G2 to work that first 02:56:00.740 --> 02:56:06.100 frag in on disguise, and then the man advantage just was never able to get clawed back. Vervespro 02:56:06.100 --> 02:56:10.900 tried to get aggressive. They tried to go for some swings to get these numbers back, but much like 02:56:10.900 --> 02:56:16.020 G2 on Chalet, when they were in that disadvantage spot, it was so difficult to claw things back, 02:56:16.020 --> 02:56:20.500 and unfortunately for the defenders here in this series, it's just not been so doable. Here's 02:56:20.500 --> 02:56:24.260 Here's this Nade Bounce once again, you bounce a couple different walls, he runs the wrong 02:56:24.260 --> 02:56:29.060 way, that's a first nice frag coming in from Benja, and then here's the aggression, right? 02:56:29.060 --> 02:56:33.900 It's Dan trying to work a pick, but he's got so many bodies all facing his direction. 02:56:33.900 --> 02:56:37.460 When they're working with the MantaVan is G2 are one of the scariest teams in the world 02:56:37.460 --> 02:56:38.940 and they are showing that on board. 02:56:38.940 --> 02:56:43.180 This has been quite the run for G2 over the last four rounds, Jesse, they've drawn first 02:56:43.180 --> 02:56:44.740 blood every single time. 02:56:44.740 --> 02:56:49.740 In fact, there is a 100% conversion rate if you strike first. 02:56:49.740 --> 02:56:54.780 So G2 drawing first blood five times VP2, well that's pretty standard stuff, but over 02:56:54.780 --> 02:57:00.220 the last four rounds G2 has not lost more than two players in any of those rounds. 02:57:00.220 --> 02:57:06.020 In fact, they won so flawlessly back in round number five, surrendering only one player in 02:57:06.020 --> 02:57:07.460 rounds four and six. 02:57:07.460 --> 02:57:12.340 These are very dominant round victories and while we did tip our hat to VP in the previous 02:57:12.340 --> 02:57:17.620 round saying it's more winnable than you think, G2's not given them much room to maneuver. 02:57:17.620 --> 02:57:20.320 VP are getting smothered at the moment. 02:57:21.320 --> 02:57:22.420 This is a rat play. 02:57:22.420 --> 02:57:23.820 How do they read that? 02:57:23.820 --> 02:57:28.220 Hushed on the ground and Stompin will be the snake charmer 02:57:28.220 --> 02:57:29.520 as he gets taken care of. 02:57:29.520 --> 02:57:32.920 Rorik finished off inside a security by Stompin again. 02:57:33.920 --> 02:57:35.620 He saw that he went negative in the previous map 02:57:35.620 --> 02:57:36.920 and he said, no more. 02:57:36.920 --> 02:57:40.620 G2 now looking at three players to get rid of 02:57:40.620 --> 02:57:42.920 and they'll sit on series point if they do so. 02:57:42.920 --> 02:57:44.920 The teenager is done with these games. 02:57:44.920 --> 02:57:46.420 Doki will get one as well. 02:57:46.420 --> 02:57:49.360 five to two now, Virtus Pro crumbling on all fronts, 02:57:49.360 --> 02:57:51.760 Neko one and six, Skye's two. 02:57:51.760 --> 02:57:53.360 They're just desperate for frags. 02:57:53.360 --> 02:57:56.480 They get one, but the round is done. 02:57:56.480 --> 02:58:00.180 G2 match and series points. 02:58:01.160 --> 02:58:02.640 I'm sorry, you said six minutes. 02:58:02.640 --> 02:58:05.960 I think if that keeps up, it might be a bit quicker 02:58:05.960 --> 02:58:06.800 than that one, Jesse. 02:58:06.800 --> 02:58:09.440 I think six minutes is being a bit kind 02:58:09.440 --> 02:58:10.480 of the Virtus Pro guys. 02:58:10.480 --> 02:58:13.280 I think the body language says it all. 02:58:13.280 --> 02:58:16.400 There have been, I'll stop myself for one second. 02:58:16.400 --> 02:58:23.040 Sure. It is almost historically impossible to read the emotions on Team Empire through Virtus.Pro. 02:58:24.240 --> 02:58:31.040 When they're winning, no emotion. When they're losing, no emotion. When you start to see emotion 02:58:31.040 --> 02:58:35.920 is when one of two things are happening. Number one, they're getting the hell beat out of them. 02:58:36.640 --> 02:58:42.640 Or number two, they're moments away from winning a championship. So the fact that we are starting 02:58:42.640 --> 02:58:49.440 to see the look of defeat creep into that team, I feel they know what's coming, and unfortunately 02:58:49.440 --> 02:58:53.280 a lot of these games are really determined by your mental. 02:58:53.280 --> 02:58:57.200 Yeah, and listen, I don't know if there's a new championship that's being given out 02:58:57.200 --> 02:59:00.960 for the first team to lose twice in a row to G2, but I don't think they're on the verge 02:59:00.960 --> 02:59:02.440 of any sort of championship here, Parker. 02:59:02.440 --> 02:59:03.440 So the trivia I'd want? 02:59:03.440 --> 02:59:07.920 No, not one that VP are likely to be hunting for, but it seems like it's coming their way 02:59:07.920 --> 02:59:08.920 no matter what. 02:59:08.920 --> 02:59:13.280 They've got to be perfect for the next four rounds and win over time. 02:59:13.280 --> 02:59:18.040 If they want to be able to secure this victory, again, they are not out of the tournament with a loss today. 02:59:18.040 --> 02:59:24.080 Parker, they will play tomorrow with one last opportunity where they make Main Stage or go home, 02:59:24.080 --> 02:59:28.760 but they want to avoid that. They can't be in that position if they can at all help it. 02:59:28.760 --> 02:59:31.680 Here comes the defense. The bomb site remains on the top floor. 02:59:31.680 --> 02:59:37.760 The Castle Barricades remain. Much is the same for Burbs Pro from what we've seen from them back in that first defensive round. 02:59:37.760 --> 02:59:43.420 How will the approach change though? What can they do differently to stop these brutal opening picks that have come through from G2? 02:59:43.420 --> 02:59:48.380 And both of those picks coming so fast within the first 40 seconds of each round. In fact, 02:59:49.380 --> 02:59:53.220 as of this exact second, it is now the slowest round for G2 on attack. 02:59:53.720 --> 02:59:59.520 The kill's coming at 2 minutes and 25 seconds, 2 minutes and 22 seconds still left into the round. Those are eye-watering numbers. 03:00:00.220 --> 03:00:06.760 I know that we like to dog on VP for being a little bit too slow, but it really is quite a point of comparison here. 03:00:06.760 --> 03:00:11.960 how diametrically opposed these teams are in the way that they take these attacks. 03:00:11.960 --> 03:00:16.860 Dan hoping to catch Shiko at that window as Doki is in, gets Neko. 03:00:16.860 --> 03:00:19.260 Neko has had a disappointing third map. 03:00:19.260 --> 03:00:24.360 They rely on him to do well. Dan will get Shiko as there's the Scorpion inside a security, 03:00:24.360 --> 03:00:25.660 moved up to the breakroom door. 03:00:25.660 --> 03:00:30.060 Rorik was hoping to give VP a leg up over G2, but it slips through his fingers. 03:00:30.060 --> 03:00:32.060 They might get one under the little mine. They will. 03:00:32.060 --> 03:00:34.660 Dan taken out by Stomp and there goes Doki. 03:00:34.660 --> 03:00:38.000 Neither of these teams is able to shake each other. That is good for VP. 03:00:38.000 --> 03:00:41.420 Another one back, Rorak. He's making some life over towards VP. 03:00:41.420 --> 03:00:44.500 They've got a man advantage for the first time in this half, and that could make all the difference. 03:00:44.500 --> 03:00:47.340 Alamo on the shield doesn't really have the opportunity to bring the gun out either, 03:00:47.340 --> 03:00:52.340 so it'll be just Benjamaster, the Danish terror here for G2, returning to his old team, 03:00:52.340 --> 03:00:54.740 trying to close things out against Virtus Pro. 03:00:54.740 --> 03:00:57.180 He'll take his time. Get back up with his captain. 03:00:57.180 --> 03:01:00.820 Make sure that he can play around Alamo. You don't want to take fights, but hey, 03:01:00.820 --> 03:01:03.300 if you're taking shots like that, maybe you do. 03:01:03.300 --> 03:01:09.300 Team Captain and IGL will now need to clutch out in a 1v2. This will be a tough go of it. 03:01:09.300 --> 03:01:17.300 As you pointed out, Stomp and Alli Mao entered this series as the two highest rated players with identical stats across the board. 03:01:17.300 --> 03:01:23.300 That is something we don't see all that often. Alli Mao has struggled to go positive in most of his events, 03:01:23.300 --> 03:01:29.300 but I mean, struggle might not even be the right word here because again, his deployment does not need him to go positive. 03:01:29.300 --> 03:01:34.120 Usually, IGLs tend to be at the very bottom of the scoreboard. 03:01:35.020 --> 03:01:38.660 Spiker's never gotten that memo, but pretty much every other IGL has. 03:01:39.660 --> 03:01:41.820 The feeling that Alley Mountain might just be dragging this one out 03:01:41.820 --> 03:01:43.900 as he's now spotted inside of Archives. 03:01:43.900 --> 03:01:46.500 And yeah, there we go. Two separate players all hunting for that final kill. 03:01:46.500 --> 03:01:49.360 Pasha will get it. VP stays alive for at least one more round. 03:01:49.360 --> 03:01:51.400 G2 still sitting on series point. 03:01:51.400 --> 03:01:56.000 It's a messy, messy round, Parker, but it's at least one that goes in the win column for VP. 03:01:56.000 --> 03:02:00.800 It's good enough to get them another chance here on board or 6-3 now the score 03:02:01.360 --> 03:02:03.960 G2 still start things off really strongly Parker 03:02:03.960 --> 03:02:11.240 I really feel like the gunfights on the new players especially have been brutal for verus pro you talk about some of the newcomers onto this team 03:02:11.240 --> 03:02:14.320 You talk about Skye's talk about Neko you talk about Rorick 03:02:14.320 --> 03:02:17.640 How many kills they have between them it might be up to eight at this point? 03:02:17.640 --> 03:02:22.480 But for the majority of this map they have both been around two or three kills apiece 03:02:22.480 --> 03:02:28.200 It's been really the veterans of Dan and Pasha who have been keeping verse pro alive in this matchup 03:02:28.200 --> 03:02:35.080 You can't just win a game with two players dragging out especially not a game against g2 of all teams to be going up against 03:02:35.080 --> 03:02:38.040 This is not one where you can just string along with a few players fragging 03:02:38.520 --> 03:02:44.760 Everybody needs to get involved for VP and that has to be the moment after round 9s win where everybody else starts to get more 03:02:44.760 --> 03:02:47.720 Active Neko and 4 and 8 all the way back on map number one 03:02:47.720 --> 03:02:50.760 but still provided a lot of value, particularly on attack. 03:02:50.760 --> 03:02:54.040 Now, number two, he, I don't want to say he carried the team, 03:02:54.040 --> 03:02:55.680 but he was certainly doing a lot better. 03:02:55.680 --> 03:02:57.640 Second highest EPS on the team. 03:02:57.640 --> 03:03:00.840 He went nine and eight, and is now two and eight. 03:03:00.840 --> 03:03:02.520 So one thing that is consistent, 03:03:02.520 --> 03:03:04.080 A, he's always going to play shields, 03:03:04.080 --> 03:03:08.680 and B, he's going to die eight times in all three of the maps. 03:03:08.680 --> 03:03:11.280 I mean, obviously you don't want that number to creep too much higher. 03:03:11.280 --> 03:03:13.280 I suspect it will, no matter what happens, 03:03:13.280 --> 03:03:16.120 that if G2 ultimately wins this contest, 03:03:16.120 --> 03:03:23.240 It's a high likelihood that Niko's numbers are going to continue to get worse, but frankly, there's really nobody who's looked good on Virtus Pro. 03:03:23.240 --> 03:03:28.340 I think right now the bar for VP has been fine for Dan and Pasha. 03:03:28.340 --> 03:03:32.140 Rorik, you know, he's 4-8. 03:03:32.140 --> 03:03:36.840 Rorik has had some decent rounds, and again, this goes back to the conversation we had on Bank. 03:03:36.840 --> 03:03:41.480 We talked about it on Shelly. Rorik can get kills that sometimes vary in value and impact. 03:03:41.480 --> 03:03:44.180 He's had less impact here in this particular round. 03:03:44.180 --> 03:03:50.020 The last round was big though, I mean it gets Rorick off that bubble that really does kind of give a bit of life over towards the VP 03:03:50.020 --> 03:03:54.620 and now facing three rounds in a row with all Moscow perfect, they go custom supply. 03:03:54.620 --> 03:04:00.420 All three of the bottom floor bomb sites are open and available for Virtus Pro, but they will go to the one that most pros tell you is 03:04:00.420 --> 03:04:03.140 nigh-unplayable here on boarder. 03:04:03.140 --> 03:04:03.860 It's because of this. 03:04:03.860 --> 03:04:11.500 Yeah, it really is. It's a tough site to hold onto, of course. There is some good Virt play, but holding security in and of itself can be quite the challenge. 03:04:11.500 --> 03:04:17.000 They will give that trust over to Rorak. He's a security player. The same position Stompin was in for the first six rounds. 03:04:17.000 --> 03:04:19.800 He has to be sharp playing with Skies up on this top floor. 03:04:25.400 --> 03:04:27.300 This is going to be the quiet before the storm. 03:04:28.600 --> 03:04:29.700 The comm is here. 03:04:30.600 --> 03:04:34.900 Who will end up in the eye of the hurricane? Skies taken out by Stompin. That's another opening pick. 03:04:35.100 --> 03:04:37.200 4G2 so far. 03:04:37.200 --> 03:04:42.360 He's opening picks, all but the previous round have determined who ultimately wins. 03:04:42.360 --> 03:04:45.820 VP hoping that the trend line from the previous round will hold, but it's not looking good. 03:04:45.820 --> 03:04:47.020 Down goes Dan. 03:04:47.780 --> 03:04:51.320 If you remove Dan and Pasha from the equation, VP will struggle, 03:04:51.320 --> 03:04:53.920 and they've got half of that job done on the side of G2. 03:04:54.320 --> 03:04:57.720 Yeah, you're really starting to clear out some of these key important players, Parker. 03:04:57.720 --> 03:05:00.060 Rorik, Neko, and Pasha, the last ones alive. 03:05:00.060 --> 03:05:02.400 Neko alone, alone on the site. 03:05:02.400 --> 03:05:05.800 Rorik and Pasha now here on the top floor, they've got to be able to get active, 03:05:05.800 --> 03:05:07.480 but at what point do you call your shot? 03:05:07.480 --> 03:05:10.000 At what moment do you try to get aggressive? 03:05:10.000 --> 03:05:11.480 I think Rorik's figured that one out. 03:05:11.480 --> 03:05:13.320 Shiko hasn't pinned down. 03:05:13.320 --> 03:05:15.200 The last stomping to post up towards the window. 03:05:15.200 --> 03:05:17.800 There goes Pasha, there goes Rorik. 03:05:17.800 --> 03:05:21.120 G2's already had a flawless round in this map. 03:05:21.120 --> 03:05:23.080 Will they do it again? 03:05:23.080 --> 03:05:26.160 It's all up to Neko as he gets away from the time being. 03:05:26.160 --> 03:05:28.880 G2 will clinch their spot 03:05:28.880 --> 03:05:32.240 and a birth on the main stage is theirs. 03:05:32.240 --> 03:05:33.240 Let the world know. 03:05:33.240 --> 03:05:43.840 G2 does not lose to two EML teams here in Salt Lake City, 7-3 on the third map, and we will see G2 in front of a crowd, on-front. 03:05:43.840 --> 03:05:51.540 The European champs are back where they belong. On the main stage, where the lights get bright, that is where they stand the tallest. 03:05:51.540 --> 03:05:57.940 They couldn't get it done yesterday against Twisted Minds, but in an email finals rematch, they will secure the victory. 03:05:57.940 --> 03:06:01.420 Virtus.pro, I think the light's a bit too bright for them at the end of that game. 03:06:01.420 --> 03:06:03.980 They fell apart towards the final few rounds there. 03:06:03.980 --> 03:06:08.940 Parker, a couple of the younger players on that team, not able to secure it in the way they were hoping for. 03:06:08.940 --> 03:06:11.380 But in the end, they will have another opportunity. 03:06:11.380 --> 03:06:13.660 They will be back tomorrow for one last chance. 03:06:13.660 --> 03:06:19.500 Well, this man right now in the front and center of your screen was quite honest about what went wrong with G2 yesterday. 03:06:19.500 --> 03:06:21.820 And I mean, there's quite a spotlight on him. 03:06:21.820 --> 03:06:25.580 Everybody on G2 has quite a spotlight on themselves, so there's nobody who's going to dodge that. 03:06:25.580 --> 03:06:30.620 that Doki top-fragging and being the most impactful player on Chalet and 03:06:30.620 --> 03:06:34.460 boarder contributing an awful lot to G2's victory. 03:06:34.460 --> 03:06:38.060 Virtus.Pro a good effort and we may still see them on the main stage 03:06:38.060 --> 03:06:42.780 but they'll have to qualify tomorrow. There's an incredible amount of history 03:06:42.780 --> 03:06:45.980 in this room Parker. The respect being shown between these two players. Not a 03:06:45.980 --> 03:06:49.820 lot of typing in the chat today but of course after the game is done that 03:06:49.820 --> 03:06:52.620 respect gets shown and we will see at least two new 03:06:52.620 --> 03:06:58.220 teams on the fun. Great discipline from G2 and it ultimately pays off. The third team to qualify. 03:06:59.500 --> 03:07:04.220 We've got more matches for you. Enterprise, Shopify or Billy, up next. 03:10:52.620 --> 03:11:02.340 G2 are headed to the main stage here in Salt Lake City. 03:11:02.340 --> 03:11:06.480 Not too much of a surprise to anyone here, but maybe took them one game longer than you 03:11:06.480 --> 03:11:07.480 would have liked. 03:11:07.480 --> 03:11:09.540 Doki, start with your performance today. 03:11:09.540 --> 03:11:11.940 You popped off top-fragging on two maps. 03:11:11.940 --> 03:11:16.180 Did the loss to Twisted Minds power you up today? 03:11:16.180 --> 03:11:17.180 What was going on? 03:11:17.180 --> 03:11:18.180 Was it the top golf last night? 03:11:18.180 --> 03:11:19.180 It was the top golf last night. 03:11:19.180 --> 03:11:21.180 I was just about to say we all went top golf. 03:11:21.180 --> 03:11:28.900 So, yeah, we played really good together as a team, yeah, I don't know what to say, 03:11:28.900 --> 03:11:32.620 but it was really fun, like after Bank was out of the way, it was just easy going, so, 03:11:32.620 --> 03:11:33.620 yeah, it was fun. 03:11:33.620 --> 03:11:38.220 Well, talk to me about how you guys regrouped and got those vibes back, VP, take it off 03:11:38.220 --> 03:11:43.020 to an early lead in the second map, what did you guys change to get back into gear? 03:11:43.020 --> 03:11:47.220 Um, I mean, we knew Bank was going to be a little bit tricky, and the other maps, Stefan 03:11:47.220 --> 03:11:51.140 they were more in our favor but banks are historically one of our best maps so we were 03:11:51.140 --> 03:11:56.340 pretty confident going into bank but the problem is like they just played very good and they 03:11:56.340 --> 03:12:01.460 stepped by step defenses and our attacks went up to par to counter them but we tried to claw back 03:12:01.460 --> 03:12:07.140 I think it was a good game so yeah I think the couple of rounds went differently we could have been 03:12:07.140 --> 03:12:12.980 looking at two over there. Number two and this is me who will see this on the main 03:12:12.980 --> 03:12:16.260 I mean, couldn't have said it better myself. 03:12:16.260 --> 03:12:20.740 Yeah, very wise words coming out from Doki there, of course, still headed to the major, 03:12:20.740 --> 03:12:24.820 right, going to top eight main stage is a massive success story for G2, so they gotta 03:12:24.820 --> 03:12:25.820 be happy. 03:12:25.820 --> 03:12:26.820 Absolutely. 03:12:26.820 --> 03:12:28.580 I mean, Virtus. Pro did put up a really good fight. 03:12:28.580 --> 03:12:31.660 Again, we said it so many times during the cast, there's a very highlight, we heard that 03:12:31.660 --> 03:12:33.740 VP can still make main stage. 03:12:33.740 --> 03:12:37.620 They're just gonna have to do it tomorrow in a dual qualification elimination game. 03:12:37.620 --> 03:12:41.620 So some good, some bad, but they're not the only team that's gonna be fighting for their 03:12:41.620 --> 03:12:45.780 lives over on the B stream. While we get ready for our next match up here, there are two teams 03:12:45.780 --> 03:12:50.420 fighting for their lives. Los and Weibo right now playing the loser of that series goes home over 03:12:50.420 --> 03:12:56.660 on the A stream right here. Good news. It's only good things about for these teams because after 03:12:56.660 --> 03:13:01.380 this break, we will send our fourth team to the main stage will be the North American squad of 03:13:01.380 --> 03:13:06.380 of Shopify Rebellion or the Oceana Squad of Enterprise, Satycom. 03:16:31.380 --> 03:16:36.140 winner will move on to the main stage top eight here at the Salt Lake City major and 03:16:36.140 --> 03:16:38.140 you've got the maps in front of you right now. 03:16:38.140 --> 03:16:42.860 It is cafe Dostoevsky to be picked first by Enterprise Night Haven Labs will fall in Fortress 03:16:42.860 --> 03:16:43.860 as the decider. 03:16:43.860 --> 03:16:46.500 Well, it does a little bit here on cafes. 03:16:46.500 --> 03:16:50.580 We get into this game because it's one that Enterprise have been quite confident on since 03:16:50.580 --> 03:16:51.740 this season began. 03:16:51.740 --> 03:16:58.020 It's 2-0 over Team Enneos and Man LFO down in the OCE regional kickoff. 03:16:58.020 --> 03:16:59.940 Shopify Rebellion have struggled though. 03:16:59.940 --> 03:17:06.180 season long on cafe they played it earlier this season up against m80 and dark zero they fell in 03:17:06.180 --> 03:17:11.140 both of those games it's going to be a tough start for Shopify rebellion who are looking to make 03:17:11.140 --> 03:17:17.140 main stage for the first time in their organization's history here in rainbow six siege but it's only a 03:17:17.140 --> 03:17:22.580 best of three you don't have to win your opponent's pick night haven labs comes next and fortress 03:17:22.580 --> 03:17:28.260 after that so it seems like the players are ready to go with this matchup so we'll kick it right off 03:17:28.260 --> 03:17:32.260 Enterprise and Shopify Rebellion, starting on Cafe. 03:17:34.660 --> 03:17:38.260 Our community vote comes through with exactly 69% very nice. 03:17:38.260 --> 03:17:41.360 Going over towards SR to win this matchup. 03:17:41.360 --> 03:17:46.460 Of course, they will be the favorites as the North Americans coming in against the APAC team. 03:17:46.460 --> 03:17:53.160 It has been a long and difficult few years for OSFans who have been waiting to see their team, 03:17:53.160 --> 03:17:56.200 and one of their representatives on the big stage, 03:17:56.200 --> 03:17:59.760 no team from OCE has made it in front of a crowd 03:17:59.760 --> 03:18:04.360 since SI 2020, when Mag led Fanatic to sixth place 03:18:04.360 --> 03:18:08.040 in Montreal, it has been so many years, 03:18:08.040 --> 03:18:11.240 over six at this point, since we've seen an OCE team 03:18:11.240 --> 03:18:12.520 make it to the big stage. 03:18:12.520 --> 03:18:16.160 And with Mag now entering in as the coach for enterprise, 03:18:16.160 --> 03:18:17.800 they will be hoping to run that back. 03:18:17.800 --> 03:18:18.840 The Tech Chat, of course, 03:18:18.840 --> 03:18:20.720 already getting off through a good start. 03:18:20.720 --> 03:18:23.220 We didn't get much of it in our last matchup 03:18:23.220 --> 03:18:26.020 when we saw Virtus.Pro meet up against G2. 03:18:26.020 --> 03:18:28.260 That was a bit of a quiet game coming through, 03:18:28.260 --> 03:18:32.300 but in this one, we will get active right away. 03:18:32.300 --> 03:18:34.920 Operator bands on cafe, very standard, 03:18:34.920 --> 03:18:36.060 of course, from these two teams, 03:18:36.060 --> 03:18:38.360 the Azami often followed up, maybe Amira, 03:18:38.360 --> 03:18:40.940 sometimes a Solis, we've seen Castle, 03:18:40.940 --> 03:18:42.900 there it is coming through being banned out. 03:18:42.900 --> 03:18:44.940 So two operators that have been really strong 03:18:44.940 --> 03:18:46.660 at kind of closing out those long angles, 03:18:46.660 --> 03:18:48.540 stopping those windows from opening up, 03:18:48.540 --> 03:18:50.180 had just been removed off the board, 03:18:50.180 --> 03:18:53.140 It's kind of going to allow things from SR to be a little bit more free. 03:18:53.140 --> 03:18:56.660 It's going to allow a little bit better window play to come through from this team. 03:18:56.660 --> 03:18:59.220 And we'll see how that comes through throughout this half. 03:18:59.220 --> 03:19:02.740 Of course, Ying and Blitz being banned by Enterprise. 03:19:02.740 --> 03:19:07.460 Two of the favorite operators, of course, from Canadian, the primary shield player here on Shopify Rebellion. 03:19:07.460 --> 03:19:10.580 You know him, you love him, and you expect to see him on a lot of those operators. 03:19:10.580 --> 03:19:14.980 Maybe not as much as Neko, who, of course, we just casted for Virtus.Pro. 03:19:14.980 --> 03:19:19.540 I touched on it a couple of times in that last game, but he had far and away the highest shield percentage. 03:19:19.540 --> 03:19:24.260 pick rate coming through at this event. Canadian still 49% attacking rounds being 03:19:24.260 --> 03:19:28.060 played on one of our three primary shields so expect that to come out depending on 03:19:28.060 --> 03:19:34.180 the site on cafe but for now not going to be selected. We start on a reading room 03:19:34.180 --> 03:19:38.380 as well a bit of an odd site choice to see coming out. The top floor is always a 03:19:38.380 --> 03:19:41.940 point of contention coming through with cafe just because the top floor can be 03:19:41.940 --> 03:19:46.220 quite popular but also quite unsuccessful for some of these teams. The 03:19:46.220 --> 03:19:49.020 win rain has really fallen off in the last couple of years and we've seen both 03:19:49.020 --> 03:19:53.340 kitchen, the mid-force sites, find a lot more presence because of it. I love this 03:19:53.340 --> 03:19:58.260 Denari set up too coming through from BAP and you just see this maze inside of 03:19:58.260 --> 03:20:01.740 BAR making it nearly impossible for the attackers to make their way in, whether 03:20:01.740 --> 03:20:04.460 it's through the skylight, whether it's in through the cigar drop, 03:20:04.460 --> 03:20:08.780 cigar drop, they will have multiple ways in but none of them will be easy with 03:20:08.780 --> 03:20:16.460 these Denari setups as Enterprise begin this first defense and SR safety stage. 03:20:16.460 --> 03:20:18.560 What'd I miss? 03:20:18.560 --> 03:20:20.240 Nothing at all. 03:20:20.240 --> 03:20:21.740 Parker, just some off-bands. 03:20:21.740 --> 03:20:23.980 Oh, your favorite part of the broadcast. 03:20:23.980 --> 03:20:26.780 Truly, and I got to yap my heart out. 03:20:26.780 --> 03:20:32.100 I'm so glad that I missed this. 03:20:32.100 --> 03:20:34.140 I like the thorn shotgun being brought. 03:20:34.140 --> 03:20:37.980 We have been seeing an incredible rise of this Irish operator. 03:20:37.980 --> 03:20:42.980 But so seldom do we see the M870, unless you are going to be playing a very tight angle, 03:20:42.980 --> 03:20:48.180 I imagine that will be the play here for Enterprise as they use Intel from the mirror windows 03:20:48.520 --> 03:20:54.900 From the cams and of course from the pulse to give information the pulse also running a shotgun because of the Reaper MK 2 up 03:20:55.880 --> 03:21:02.140 Well, I fear I spoke too soon about the pulse there goes to Han there goes Cairo a great entry for rebellion 03:21:02.380 --> 03:21:06.240 Canadian loses his head to the M870 down goes jigsaw 03:21:06.680 --> 03:21:11.220 Rebellion in full control with a minute and 40 to go. Yeah, absolutely feeling very confident 03:21:11.220 --> 03:21:16.180 leaves just bapping alone now into 1v4. He will get Rex in to make it just the 1v3, but 03:21:16.180 --> 03:21:20.820 still 90 seconds to go in this half. SR have so much time to work with him as the phone 03:21:20.820 --> 03:21:22.940 call rings that will begin to get no- 03:21:22.940 --> 03:21:23.940 Get over the can! 03:21:23.940 --> 03:21:29.660 That didn't matter. It would have been our second nade kill in about 30 minutes though, 03:21:29.660 --> 03:21:31.140 Parker. That would have been insane. 03:21:31.140 --> 03:21:33.060 For there to be two of them would be quite odd. 03:21:33.060 --> 03:21:39.740 Yeah, one is something, but not quite the final blow there in round number one. SR clean 03:21:39.740 --> 03:21:44.060 on that top floor take. It was really a nice setup. We saw the Denari, we saw the Thorn, 03:21:44.060 --> 03:21:48.060 the Pulse, but SR were able to find really good ways into the building. They started 03:21:48.060 --> 03:21:51.260 off strong with some nice opening frags and it really did just spiral from there. 03:21:52.460 --> 03:21:56.860 I mean Shopify Rebellion have settled in quite nicely here, making small changes to the way 03:21:56.860 --> 03:22:01.740 that they deploy their players. I saw some actual conversation about it on both Twitter 03:22:01.740 --> 03:22:06.860 and Reddit. Yes, I do sometimes visit those websites even though it was probably ill advised 03:22:06.860 --> 03:22:09.980 for my mental health. But there were some really good points that were made about how 03:22:09.980 --> 03:22:13.020 spoilt and this is something we've also mentioned on broadcast. Spoilt is seeing 03:22:13.580 --> 03:22:19.580 harder opponents and is actually doing quite well in his deployment. On particular maps and on 03:22:19.580 --> 03:22:26.140 particular sides both Rexon and surf are being given safer assignments and taking up those 03:22:26.140 --> 03:22:31.740 pseudo support style of plays that spoilt had originally played. A good example of that. 03:22:31.740 --> 03:22:36.600 Spoigt played an awful lot of Nomad across a wide variety of maps, but he's been playing 03:22:36.600 --> 03:22:40.960 more Deimos recently, he's been playing more DokaB recently, here we have him on Ace, and 03:22:40.960 --> 03:22:47.240 while you're accustomed to seeing hard breaches be more support ops, Ace is more of a fragging 03:22:47.240 --> 03:22:51.800 op than you'd think, so Spoigt is still in a very strong position to get some kills here. 03:22:51.800 --> 03:22:55.680 As you can see, it was almost a team ace, Canadian as his tradition will not start off, 03:22:55.680 --> 03:22:59.220 but the kill would probably take him some time to be involved in the cut and thrust, 03:22:59.220 --> 03:23:06.220 Ultimately, Rebellion don't need him to do a lot of that heavy lifting, and of course, in that previous round, it was perfectly on display. 03:23:06.220 --> 03:23:13.720 Well, we get a little bit of a roam clear starting off here from SR. They found the one player over towards Red Stairs, so they've got a bit of information to work with. 03:23:13.720 --> 03:23:18.720 This is not going to be a full top-down clear, Parker. A lot of it is starting horizontal on this big side of things. 03:23:18.720 --> 03:23:24.720 Good smoke to try to get the Selma off in towards Bakery, but I think Brenda was able to spot that out and shoot the Selma off. 03:23:24.720 --> 03:23:29.380 More Selma's will come through, this is just going to deny that position and know in fact it just gets opened up the first time. 03:23:29.380 --> 03:23:32.340 So they don't have to worry as much about this Bakery position any longer. 03:23:32.340 --> 03:23:38.520 Jigsaw has to back up, Tuhaan has to pack up, and a lot of these players that want it to be aggressive inside Bakery just can't do it anymore. 03:23:38.520 --> 03:23:40.720 Thanks to that one Selma thrown off by Spoi. 03:23:43.720 --> 03:23:47.720 Well, AirJab is going to prevent them from rotating into Bakery. 03:23:47.720 --> 03:23:51.720 That will obviously be an issue that has to be dealt with here by these defenders. 03:23:51.720 --> 03:23:58.120 As Clash will pick up her shield yet again and two on will scoot ever so far back into this site. 03:23:58.120 --> 03:24:04.320 Selma's going off to give more opportunities for fragging and tomfooling on the side of Rebellion as they set up. 03:24:04.320 --> 03:24:09.320 Looking for a direct hit on the bakery with some over clear at the moment. Jigsaw gets punished. 03:24:09.320 --> 03:24:13.620 It sounds like it was Rexing to get that kill, but it's always hard to tell. He'll get finished off. 03:24:13.620 --> 03:24:18.620 Rexing indeed credited with the kill, so he got the down and he will inch up to the A-bomb door. 03:24:18.620 --> 03:24:21.220 still top-floor control for this Rebellion Squad, 03:24:21.220 --> 03:24:24.620 but Enterprise is starting to assemble their own forces up there. 03:24:24.620 --> 03:24:26.720 Yeah, what is this retake of mid-floor Parker? 03:24:26.720 --> 03:24:28.120 I don't know if we see this very often, 03:24:28.120 --> 03:24:30.620 they're just swarming, Andy thinking it's just a sledge up above, 03:24:30.620 --> 03:24:32.720 but he hits the shots, Cairo goes down, 03:24:32.720 --> 03:24:35.520 and another gunfight the whole time, Canadians planting too. 03:24:35.520 --> 03:24:38.120 It's all to Bappin, who's also back up there, 03:24:38.120 --> 03:24:42.120 Diffuse Kit goes down, he'll get two Han back from the dead. 03:24:42.120 --> 03:24:44.620 The two remaining players will need to work together 03:24:44.620 --> 03:24:47.320 against this Rebellion Squad. 03:24:47.320 --> 03:24:53.680 Canadian successful with the objective and spoiten rexon will cover these staircases Canadian involved in this post plan as well 03:24:53.680 --> 03:24:55.120 He's still alive 03:24:55.120 --> 03:24:57.400 It's got one smoke canister in pocket 03:24:57.400 --> 03:25:02.000 He can use it to potentially funnel these defenders into their waiting arms, but with the clock being what it is Jesse 03:25:02.000 --> 03:25:04.000 I don't think that will be the case 03:25:04.320 --> 03:25:07.320 Do Han and Bapit now working their way through 03:25:07.720 --> 03:25:10.440 The peripheries of the bombsite not really fighting that much 03:25:10.440 --> 03:25:13.720 There's Canadian on the board for one Bapit of a delayed reaction 03:25:13.720 --> 03:25:19.160 he gets spoilt rex and finds a kill again and it's a 2-0 start for the North American squad. 03:25:19.160 --> 03:25:23.960 Some laughter I think after that round from Shopify Rebellion Parker. It comes back to the fact 03:25:23.960 --> 03:25:30.200 that's just one of the most ridiculous cafe bottom floor defenses I've ever seen out of enterprise 03:25:30.200 --> 03:25:35.720 and around the 90 second mark they send three different bodies to retake that mid floor and I 03:25:35.720 --> 03:25:40.680 see the logic in it too right? Shopify Rebellion were not full clearing top. Usually on that site 03:25:40.680 --> 03:25:44.200 You'll see a full top control and you'll see maybe five bodies up on that second floor 03:25:44.200 --> 03:25:47.160 But they had just put ambi up there shop by our building 03:25:47.160 --> 03:25:50.300 We're kind of trying to shortcut things because they knew there wasn't a roam game 03:25:50.300 --> 03:25:52.200 They said we'll just send an ambi on the sledge 03:25:52.200 --> 03:25:57.600 Well then everybody else in through bakery and we'll get all that space for free without having to dedicate a bunch of bodies 03:25:57.600 --> 03:26:00.660 And then we just push in through the site so enterprise tried to punish it 03:26:00.660 --> 03:26:06.560 They tried to retake up above they sent their players forward two big problems though number one ambi is ridiculous 03:26:06.560 --> 03:26:12.200 any get-to-kills despite being all alone inside of mining and number two is SR reddit 03:26:12.200 --> 03:26:18.040 They spotted the gap. Canadian was able to get in and start a plant as all of the defenders just vacated the bomb site 03:26:18.040 --> 03:26:21.140 So maybe a little bit predictable inside of Enterprise 03:26:21.200 --> 03:26:26.020 Maybe it's a little bit too much information flowing for the side of SR and despite the fact this is EP's pick 03:26:26.020 --> 03:26:28.540 They're off to a horrendous start versus the North Americans 03:26:28.540 --> 03:26:31.840 Yeah, I mean I know that there was a lot of chatter about the 03:26:32.320 --> 03:26:35.920 potential for this enterprise squad and I think for good reason but 03:26:35.920 --> 03:26:42.340 They have really faltered when the bright lights have been on them and a lot of teams do you suffer through that some players suffer through that 03:26:42.340 --> 03:26:46.600 We just saw G2 play and said this about Shiko when he's been on squads in the past 03:26:46.920 --> 03:26:50.040 It is not a unique phenomenon to any particular team 03:26:50.320 --> 03:26:55.520 So you do need to keep an eye on okay. Are you running up the score against phase one teams? 03:26:55.520 --> 03:26:58.520 How are you actually doing against the teams that top their regions? 03:26:58.520 --> 03:27:01.820 Oce is geographically Iceland. 03:27:01.820 --> 03:27:06.760 Australia does struggle to play up against tougher opposition because all of A-Pack is 03:27:06.760 --> 03:27:10.680 a bit of a step behind at the moment from the rest of the regions, but Oce tends to 03:27:10.680 --> 03:27:13.520 be a little bit behind that as well. 03:27:13.520 --> 03:27:17.720 And unless they're consistently coming to LAN events, they really struggle to get that 03:27:17.720 --> 03:27:22.280 international a series under their belt and the experience that comes with it. 03:27:22.280 --> 03:27:25.880 And the Rebellion are just progressively getting better the deeper into this tourney 03:27:25.880 --> 03:27:26.880 they go. 03:27:26.880 --> 03:27:28.880 Big Saw dies! Oh my goodness! 03:27:28.880 --> 03:27:35.180 Surflip time for the reload, maybe a little bit of fun as Brenda goes down, and it's another terrific entry for the Rebellion. 03:27:35.180 --> 03:27:37.680 As now Canadians involved as well. 03:27:37.680 --> 03:27:42.080 A minute fifty on the clock, and it's just two on in a 1v5. 03:27:42.080 --> 03:27:46.180 He does deny a flawless round. Jesse, will he get more than that? 03:27:46.180 --> 03:27:50.580 Survey says no. 3-0 to start here for the Rebellion. 03:27:50.580 --> 03:27:54.880 Immediately attack time over requested by Mag, and I think it couldn't have come sooner. 03:27:54.880 --> 03:28:03.720 This has been a disaster. Enterprise throughout this event have impressed they've been crushing some top-level opponents every time they've gone up against a Brazilian team 03:28:03.720 --> 03:28:07.600 They've shown some really good grit. They've been able to get some huge wins under their belts 03:28:07.600 --> 03:28:10.800 But today it just feels like a different story 03:28:11.160 --> 03:28:18.160 Enterprise have not loaded into this lobby and Mag will need to put the brakes on this momentum as soon as possible 03:28:18.440 --> 03:28:23.360 Because he knows what it takes. He knows what this can turn into if they don't check it early 03:28:23.360 --> 03:28:32.200 Just so quickly, Shopify rebellion are finding gaps. They're finding ways to move in and it's not like SR are going for these like really complicated full five man stacks. 03:28:32.200 --> 03:28:37.660 A lot of it is individuals seeing opportunities and choosing to take those moments when they see them. 03:28:37.660 --> 03:28:40.700 You saw it from surf in that previous round on the snake in particular, right? 03:28:40.700 --> 03:28:48.000 Finds an angle just in through the pillar door. It's not being washed. There's a bit of a gap here on the Enterprise setup, both in rounds one and three now. 03:28:48.000 --> 03:28:51.940 They've had quite Rome heavy setups where they're trying to extend throughout the map quite a bit. 03:28:51.940 --> 03:28:56.220 And it's just opened themselves up to get punished a little bit because there are those gaps that exist 03:28:56.460 --> 03:29:01.160 Shopify rebellion have been excellent in exploiting that the snake will get banned out that will help 03:29:01.160 --> 03:29:04.220 But there will need to be a lot more done on the side of EP. Yeah 03:29:04.220 --> 03:29:11.060 I mean this entry has been with so much confidence so much gusto so much moxie surf in particular as he started things off in round 03:29:11.060 --> 03:29:14.260 One got the opening pick in round three and he is not slowing down 03:29:15.100 --> 03:29:20.340 whatsoever, it's obviously concerning when you have to call a timeout so soon and 03:29:20.340 --> 03:29:26.460 And it doesn't always mean you're gonna be able to fix it again not wanting to read too much into the narrative aspect here 03:29:26.460 --> 03:29:30.780 But did you see the body language of enterprise jigsaw in particular look like he was ready to go home? 03:29:30.780 --> 03:29:37.300 Yeah during that time out and obviously things can change very quickly you can win a couple rounds get your confidence back 03:29:37.420 --> 03:29:40.380 Everything is okay, honky-dory. You're all good 03:29:41.460 --> 03:29:46.300 But there's been very little for me to look at with this enterprise team and think yeah 03:29:46.300 --> 03:29:49.460 Now they'll be able to change the wins the way they're blowing right now. 03:29:49.460 --> 03:29:53.300 It's going to need to be a response at some point and it's going to come sooner rather 03:29:53.300 --> 03:29:54.300 than later. 03:29:54.300 --> 03:29:56.700 Again, this is Enterprise's map pick. 03:29:56.700 --> 03:29:58.820 Shop 5 billion shows to start on the attack. 03:29:58.820 --> 03:30:00.420 You might get a little bit caught off guard by that. 03:30:00.420 --> 03:30:04.740 It's kind of weird to choose to start on the offensive side, but clearly SR had felt that 03:30:04.740 --> 03:30:06.580 there was a weakness here on the defense. 03:30:06.580 --> 03:30:09.020 I don't know why they're feeling that, frankly. 03:30:09.020 --> 03:30:13.900 Enterprise have been the single best defense team at the major so far, but whatever caused 03:30:13.900 --> 03:30:19.100 to make this call is clearly correct because Enterprises Defenses have been looking horrible 03:30:19.100 --> 03:30:20.980 through this first quarter. 03:30:20.980 --> 03:30:24.900 Back with the quarters. 03:30:24.900 --> 03:30:26.620 What do you want me to call it, two eights? 03:30:26.620 --> 03:30:29.740 Yeah, it'd be fun. 03:30:29.740 --> 03:30:31.220 One-sixth of the way through. 03:30:31.220 --> 03:30:32.220 Sure. 03:30:32.220 --> 03:30:33.220 Yeah. 03:30:33.220 --> 03:30:35.300 Really putting that math degree to good use. 03:30:35.300 --> 03:30:36.300 Thank you. 03:30:36.300 --> 03:30:39.860 Not a lot of Mestology to talk about over the course of these three rounds. 03:30:39.860 --> 03:30:43.700 All of Enterprises seem like they're taking a class in Mestology right now, frankly, 03:30:43.700 --> 03:30:47.600 It's a little mean it's kind of mean spirited. I want to see him bounce back Parker 03:30:47.600 --> 03:30:53.000 They've been so good so far here at the Celtic City Major, but it just feels like a different team that's shown up 03:30:53.000 --> 03:30:56.380 Miner setback for a major comeback. Jesse. That's what it boils down to here 03:30:56.380 --> 03:30:58.940 I mean bad in the mid-round bad in the entry, etc 03:30:58.940 --> 03:31:03.260 This is this is reminiscent of the match that just preceded this which was the G2 VP game 03:31:03.260 --> 03:31:10.340 Yeah, VP screamed off to an 04 start on their own map on the cortical bad side and look what ended up happening 03:31:10.700 --> 03:31:12.580 obviously no spoilers, but 03:31:12.580 --> 03:31:18.220 Let's just say that recoveries are very much possible. So, Enterprise, how do you deal with this now? 03:31:18.220 --> 03:31:23.820 Logic Bombs will go off as you see the shield over by top of red stairs, Bappen rebuffing the Monte for a period of time. 03:31:25.180 --> 03:31:30.100 Taught on the windows by Rexon, a very tough spot for Bappen to be in, especially unsupported. 03:31:30.100 --> 03:31:33.980 Yeah, that's a thing, right? All by himself. It's a really nice coordinated clear from SR. 03:31:33.980 --> 03:31:38.540 We're talking a lot about Enterprise, but I think the rebellion have played so incredibly this game as well. 03:31:38.540 --> 03:31:40.540 the team play is there when it needs to be. 03:31:40.540 --> 03:31:43.040 Sometimes it's been opportunity seeking from guys like Serf, 03:31:43.040 --> 03:31:46.240 but other times it's been just behind this Monty like we're seeing in round four. 03:31:46.240 --> 03:31:49.240 It's been these players pushing together to clear the roam game. 03:31:49.240 --> 03:31:51.040 There aren't still a couple of players here on the top floor. 03:31:51.040 --> 03:31:53.840 It's really just Cairo who's sitting upstairs inside of Cocktail. 03:31:53.840 --> 03:31:55.140 He's got the pulse below. 03:31:55.140 --> 03:31:57.340 Brando finds Ambi. That's a good answer back. 03:31:57.340 --> 03:31:58.740 And it's another one from Jigsaw. 03:31:58.740 --> 03:32:00.840 So this is starting to turn for Enterprise. 03:32:00.840 --> 03:32:02.840 Honestly, confidence plays a huge factor here. 03:32:02.840 --> 03:32:04.540 And for guys like Brando and Jigsaw, 03:32:04.540 --> 03:32:07.040 who are able to carry more than their own weight 03:32:07.040 --> 03:32:09.680 and have consistently done so through this event. 03:32:09.680 --> 03:32:13.080 Having them be mentally positive is huge. 03:32:13.080 --> 03:32:14.360 That was Brendo's first kill. 03:32:14.360 --> 03:32:15.440 It was Jigsaw's second. 03:32:15.440 --> 03:32:18.040 So there's time for these guys to get on the board. 03:32:18.040 --> 03:32:19.600 Once again, talking about impactless kills, 03:32:19.600 --> 03:32:21.000 Papad is four, but most of them 03:32:21.000 --> 03:32:22.880 not really turning the functions of the round. 03:32:22.880 --> 03:32:24.600 Down goes Cairo with the hands of Spoit. 03:32:24.600 --> 03:32:26.680 He'd flushed Cairo out of that position with a nade 03:32:26.680 --> 03:32:29.160 and then had the F90 do the rest of the job. 03:32:29.160 --> 03:32:30.080 That's a great gun. 03:32:30.080 --> 03:32:32.200 Shackled to gridlock, so he don't see it all that often, 03:32:32.200 --> 03:32:33.920 but she's a terrific operator here on this map. 03:32:33.920 --> 03:32:34.760 It's what he shows. 03:32:34.760 --> 03:32:38.960 What he can do from a fragging potential, Rexon goes to the Nitro Selt from 2 on down below. 03:32:38.960 --> 03:32:41.640 Canadian will have to rely on Spoit as his only coverage. 03:32:42.280 --> 03:32:44.540 Spoit, a bit of a messy set of engagements there. 03:32:44.540 --> 03:32:47.840 Canadian takes one down, traded right back, and Spoit will need to clutch up. 03:32:48.240 --> 03:32:51.740 Best opportunity for Enterprise, but it might all be for naught. 03:32:52.920 --> 03:32:55.240 Spoit with very limited time, Jesse. 03:32:55.240 --> 03:32:57.020 Prendo just needs to play keep away. 03:32:57.020 --> 03:33:00.460 Spoit will find himself in an unfortunate position. 03:33:01.320 --> 03:33:04.460 Out of time, not getting the final kill is fine for Enterprise. 03:33:04.460 --> 03:33:08.040 they will play off the clock and that's a big win for Ose's best hope. 03:33:08.040 --> 03:33:11.140 Alright, they've managed to pull things back after the attack timeout from Meg. 03:33:11.140 --> 03:33:14.500 Got us such a critical round to halt the momentum, but still not a bad round from 03:33:14.500 --> 03:33:18.100 Shopify Rebellion, Parker. I mean, they still had some really nice coordination 03:33:18.100 --> 03:33:20.900 cleaning up those players. It was the mid-round where we started to see 03:33:20.900 --> 03:33:24.900 Enterprise strike back with some critical frags. That really is what turned the 03:33:24.900 --> 03:33:28.580 tide. And then even then, it gets so close. You start to look back at some of 03:33:28.580 --> 03:33:32.060 those kills. If Smoid's able to get that frag through the vert, if he's able to 03:33:32.060 --> 03:33:36.080 miss that player, not miss that player, through the floorboards. We could be looking at a 4-0 03:33:36.080 --> 03:33:39.420 for shopped by Rebellion, but it's good enough here on the top floor for Enterprise. It's 03:33:39.420 --> 03:33:42.860 still really nice to be able to hit some of those shots, and you said it. Guys like Jigsaw 03:33:42.860 --> 03:33:47.980 can carry more than their own weight. It can be so incredibly good in the right moments 03:33:47.980 --> 03:33:51.140 when they're confident with their own abilities, and we need some more of that coming through 03:33:51.140 --> 03:33:56.220 for Enterprise. You have strong individuals. You have really good moments as a team as 03:33:56.220 --> 03:34:00.300 well, but you can put those pieces together. If you can combine the strong individuals 03:34:00.300 --> 03:34:03.660 I'm enterprise with good team play and this map is still far from over 03:34:06.780 --> 03:34:12.140 Um, Jesse yes the other day you said there's two halves to siege there sure are sometimes in 7-0s 03:34:12.140 --> 03:34:15.900 You barely have a second half, but that's not the case right here right now 03:34:16.380 --> 03:34:21.980 It was a very very close round for enterprise. So maybe a bit too close for comfort here 03:34:22.700 --> 03:34:29.420 Rebellion still I think have the distinct edge on this half of the map. Yeah, which granted 03:34:30.300 --> 03:34:36.620 We say this every time this unfolds in front of our eyes, this is Enterprise's map, they should lose the first half. 03:34:36.620 --> 03:34:43.980 That is typically how things work, but by how much you lose and the way in which you lose, those tell a very different story. 03:34:43.980 --> 03:34:49.340 Not all four to first halves are the same and right now rebellion looks so dominant. 03:34:49.340 --> 03:34:53.420 They still might not lose this first half, we gotta say as well this could still go 3-3. 03:34:53.420 --> 03:34:59.180 Shopfire rebellion have gone for a very cool strat here that got Ambien on the nook and that means that this camera being played by Tuhan 03:34:59.180 --> 03:35:04.780 is not going to spot him out. As long as Ambi isn't shooting or sprinting, then this is going to be completely unknown. 03:35:04.780 --> 03:35:09.820 Tuan, I don't think he's looking that direction anyways on the Echo Cam, but Ambi has a good opportunity here. 03:35:09.820 --> 03:35:14.780 Now I will say, there's a barricade that is perfectly blocking the progress towards the site, so that's not going to be a factor, 03:35:14.780 --> 03:35:19.580 but there it is! Fights ahead of Jigsaw and the best player on Enterprise has just been failed. 03:35:19.580 --> 03:35:22.380 Five rounds, five first bloods, four rebellion. 03:35:22.380 --> 03:35:28.860 Enterprise are not doing as well on this roam, whether it be unsupported, whether it be a time waster, whether it be a drone wastage, 03:35:28.860 --> 03:35:35.880 Any of those things. This is really not great for Enterprise and I'm looking for opportunities to praise them here, Jesse 03:35:35.880 --> 03:35:38.940 Kyro is still playing above so this is top-floor control for me 03:35:38.940 --> 03:35:42.840 You've got to keep that in the back of your mind if you're SR could walk down those brown stairs 03:35:42.840 --> 03:35:45.180 You can try to play around the kitchen hatch if it's open as well 03:35:45.180 --> 03:35:46.940 But to Han feels like that's not going to be enough 03:35:46.940 --> 03:35:49.620 That's why he started to get a little bit more aggressive here with the echo 03:35:50.100 --> 03:35:55.700 Not a top-down take from SR again to focus on bake. I really do like the amount of shotguns being brought by Enterprise 03:35:55.700 --> 03:35:59.860 This is to counter the aggression for rebellion knowing that these are going to be close quarters engagements 03:36:00.500 --> 03:36:05.780 But the problem is is that they're not getting close enough to you for that to matter and time and time again 03:36:05.780 --> 03:36:09.980 Enterprise have to pull out those secondary weapons to make some noise. Brendo takes care of Canadian 03:36:09.980 --> 03:36:15.100 That's actually a huge get here as down goes the sends ambience surf will join shortly thereafter 03:36:15.100 --> 03:36:18.700 So this mid round from Enterprise was mighty good in the previous round 03:36:19.220 --> 03:36:25.580 Those same players that's in gusto is shown up here as too hard exploits them finds the backstab grab 03:36:25.700 --> 03:36:31.620 to an enterprise have suddenly narrowed this gap to putting the first half within reach. 03:36:31.620 --> 03:36:38.180 The QE comes alive in round four again Parker. This map far from over. The timeout from Mag clearly 03:36:38.180 --> 03:36:43.380 paying dividends for this APAC team up against the favorites from North America. Really nice 03:36:43.380 --> 03:36:47.300 defense coming through once again. Shopparabayan, they changed their attack. Don't get me wrong. 03:36:47.300 --> 03:36:52.100 It was not the exact same look as we saw back in round two, but it was a similar style. They're 03:36:52.100 --> 03:36:55.800 They're still going horizontal, they're still just trying to take that control around the 03:36:55.800 --> 03:36:57.660 site rather than getting up above it. 03:36:57.660 --> 03:37:01.660 And there's a reason why that push is not oh so popular these days, it's because you 03:37:01.660 --> 03:37:04.620 really have to be able to win your fights when you're taking this space. 03:37:04.620 --> 03:37:08.620 It was a good kill from Ambi to start this round off, but then Touhan inside of Coach 03:37:08.620 --> 03:37:11.460 Check was just able to make some really nice moves. 03:37:11.460 --> 03:37:15.580 Canadian went down early on the sends, around that front door in small bake area. 03:37:15.580 --> 03:37:21.740 A couple players went down with him and Touhan absolutely did his best six and four now. 03:37:21.740 --> 03:37:26.200 The victory here today, he would be the first New Zealand based player in history to play 03:37:26.200 --> 03:37:29.900 in front of a crowd at an official Ubisoft sponsored event. 03:37:29.900 --> 03:37:33.400 S tier event. 03:37:33.400 --> 03:37:35.700 First host team to make main stages. 03:37:35.700 --> 03:37:36.700 Six years. 03:37:36.700 --> 03:37:37.700 Good Lord. 03:37:37.700 --> 03:37:43.820 Of course we have Terzda who's done some great things for New Zealand as well and has made 03:37:43.820 --> 03:37:46.240 main stage at EWC. 03:37:46.240 --> 03:37:50.380 But not quite the same as the Major Parker, I think most would agree with that. 03:37:50.380 --> 03:37:56.180 Tertz there right now and his team fighting for their lives on the B stream as Los is going up against Waybo gaming 03:37:56.660 --> 03:38:00.940 We still got a couple teams from the CNL and APAC from that side of the world competing 03:38:00.940 --> 03:38:06.340 Obviously, you've got enterprise here all gamers will be in action later today over on the B stream as well 03:38:06.340 --> 03:38:09.100 And then you've got way more gaming playing right now 03:38:09.100 --> 03:38:15.100 So this isn't really quite your forte enough that we want to shove you into the open arms of ace and des because they're British 03:38:15.100 --> 03:38:18.860 And we know as Canadians we get to joke about the Commonwealth all the time 03:38:18.860 --> 03:38:23.060 But if you do want to see what's going on in Elos and Weibo, they are still in action. 03:38:23.060 --> 03:38:25.860 That has been a very long 3-map series. 03:38:25.860 --> 03:38:30.560 I don't know what's going on in map number 3, and of course we don't want to spoil anything ahead of time. 03:38:30.560 --> 03:38:36.860 But I'm sure it's been an electric affair, just simply because we had our own best of 3, and it's already over, and we've moved on to our second series. 03:38:36.860 --> 03:38:43.860 Since Band of Snake, SR have not been able to find the same opportunities, and once more, Jigsaw will get that first frag onto Canadian. 03:38:43.860 --> 03:38:46.300 and actually playing down below the bomb site 03:38:46.300 --> 03:38:48.360 will take down the shield as Canadian tries 03:38:48.360 --> 03:38:50.020 to enter in through the building. 03:38:50.020 --> 03:38:52.620 Logic Bombs come out, but that just prompts a jump. 03:38:52.620 --> 03:38:54.100 Sure, it's traded with the Claymore, 03:38:54.100 --> 03:38:55.860 but that's huge value from the Oryx. 03:38:55.860 --> 03:38:56.700 That's massive. 03:38:56.700 --> 03:38:57.540 Logic Bombs go off. 03:38:57.540 --> 03:38:59.220 Gamos tracks as well. 03:38:59.220 --> 03:39:02.660 A bevy of information for Rebellion still at their disposal. 03:39:02.660 --> 03:39:03.700 Down goes Ambys. 03:39:03.700 --> 03:39:06.980 Circle now try his luck as he's got a cross. 03:39:06.980 --> 03:39:09.020 Walls blowing up in front of his very eyes, 03:39:09.020 --> 03:39:10.220 bapping with two kills. 03:39:10.220 --> 03:39:11.580 There goes Rexon. 03:39:11.580 --> 03:39:18.580 Enterprise, stitching three together, they will survive the first half at the same score line as the Rebellion. 03:39:18.580 --> 03:39:21.580 What a comeback it was for these folks. 03:39:28.580 --> 03:39:31.580 Bro, I said claim on your window, Karin, you jumped down anyway, did you get a five? 03:39:31.580 --> 03:39:32.580 No, no, I just wanted to know. 03:39:32.580 --> 03:39:34.580 Alrighty, alrighty, here we go, guys. 03:39:34.580 --> 03:39:36.580 We are attacking Shopify's offending. 03:39:36.580 --> 03:39:37.580 Karin, listen. 03:39:37.580 --> 03:39:38.580 Guys, everyone look at me please, alright? 03:39:38.580 --> 03:39:39.580 Karin, let's have a look. 03:39:39.580 --> 03:39:44.660 Okay, listen, we've got this flow start out of the way. The comms are flying. Okay, let's just keep it up 03:39:44.660 --> 03:39:50.100 Okay, look at look how much better what happens when we're talking about what we want to do and we're setting these wind conditions 03:39:50.100 --> 03:39:53.820 I need some more talk guys. Okay, let's fucking have the back-and-forth feedback 03:39:53.820 --> 03:39:59.780 Yeah on mining they we need a braver or a twitch they most likely gonna be running the kite and the tub 03:39:59.780 --> 03:40:04.140 Okay, we need to care lobby run out these guys on the defense 03:40:04.140 --> 03:40:08.940 are super fucking aggressive at running out and peeking windows. If we're ready for that, 03:40:08.940 --> 03:40:13.700 we're getting three picks, okay? On readings, they love to run the pulse to Valkyrie. We 03:40:13.700 --> 03:40:21.100 might be able to bring an IQ for the Valk if we can afford it, okay? Pulse below. Actually, 03:40:21.100 --> 03:40:25.940 Chick, you might be able to go IQ and kill the pulse from below because he sits in train 03:40:25.940 --> 03:40:27.420 and fucking on his stand up. 03:40:27.420 --> 03:40:28.420 From Monning? 03:40:28.420 --> 03:40:29.420 Yes. 03:40:29.420 --> 03:40:30.420 He ran through the prep wall. 03:40:30.420 --> 03:40:34.100 Yeah, he ran through the prep wall, and then he ran at bay. The second time, they ran 03:40:34.100 --> 03:40:37.140 they just cleared through with Sledge Ramdoke shield. 03:40:37.140 --> 03:40:39.140 They basically sends off like the VIP, 03:40:39.140 --> 03:40:40.620 they didn't sends off the long angle, 03:40:40.620 --> 03:40:41.580 which obviously they could, 03:40:41.580 --> 03:40:44.500 but they send stuff like the VIP drop from white 03:40:44.500 --> 03:40:48.260 and they dropped a shield with like one guy dropping with him. 03:40:48.260 --> 03:40:49.520 They were holding the red flank, 03:40:49.520 --> 03:40:52.060 like most of that round that the doki-dewas. 03:40:52.060 --> 03:40:53.300 For reading, they sent, 03:40:53.300 --> 03:40:54.560 like we were talking about earlier, right? 03:40:54.560 --> 03:40:57.520 They send the gridlock red a lot of time by himself, 03:40:57.520 --> 03:40:59.780 Lion, Heaven, or Pell, Stryker, C3 window. 03:40:59.780 --> 03:41:01.740 This is when they try to do like the early Nade 03:41:01.740 --> 03:41:02.780 with the Thatcher will. 03:41:02.780 --> 03:41:03.740 So be careful of that. 03:41:03.740 --> 03:41:08.380 Grimm was basically skylight there after they just tried to clear through and 03:41:08.380 --> 03:41:11.860 finish reading door. Second time they had a guy sitting mining bout, Sledge and 03:41:11.860 --> 03:41:16.160 Habana drop red and walk CS. Duke was again in the basement and Grimm was a 03:41:16.160 --> 03:41:20.100 snowbath by himself so expect a lot of Grimm against these guys. Once again for 03:41:20.100 --> 03:41:22.700 reading they cleared through and they tried to finish reading door. 03:41:22.700 --> 03:41:24.700 Monty Snake right? Yeah. 03:41:24.700 --> 03:41:26.700 For Mike. 03:41:27.940 --> 03:41:31.900 Calling for the Monty Snake Band to start things off here in the band phase and it was 03:41:31.900 --> 03:41:36.780 really the snake that was so important for shopfirebellion to find those early gaps in 03:41:36.780 --> 03:41:42.100 those early entries on cafe surf was excellent on the snake through these first three rounds 03:41:42.100 --> 03:41:45.780 and it was a very good band to come up from enterprise to take that off the board halfway 03:41:45.780 --> 03:41:50.900 through. It'll be important that SR can remove it earlier here in this matchup. The mirror 03:41:50.900 --> 03:41:56.300 band out as well. I will say it's a little surprising to see SR fall off so quickly so 03:41:56.300 --> 03:41:59.740 So dramatically after just losing that one operator, 03:41:59.740 --> 03:42:02.220 Surf in particular has been so versatile 03:42:02.220 --> 03:42:04.060 so far here at the Salt Lake City Major. 03:42:04.060 --> 03:42:06.240 He's played 39 different operators, 03:42:06.240 --> 03:42:08.860 more than any other player here at the Major 03:42:08.860 --> 03:42:10.960 that's across both attack and defense. 03:42:10.960 --> 03:42:13.520 But when he needs to jump on the most powerful 03:42:13.520 --> 03:42:14.900 Intel operator in Siege, 03:42:14.900 --> 03:42:16.980 he clearly has quite a strong impact. 03:42:16.980 --> 03:42:20.180 So really good to see that coming out from him. 03:42:20.180 --> 03:42:21.220 Maybe a bit of an issue, 03:42:21.220 --> 03:42:25.740 some stinky going on inside the Enterprise camp. 03:42:25.740 --> 03:42:31.340 I'm not exactly sure how that one's gonna go, but looks like it's all cleared up, not a long-standing problem. 03:42:31.340 --> 03:42:35.640 So we'll ban out the Snake on the side of SR, and whenever the second ban comes through for Enterprise as well, 03:42:35.640 --> 03:42:38.140 should be the Izami if we're playing Standard. 03:42:40.240 --> 03:42:43.240 And it will be the Kaid instead. Not a bad ban either. 03:42:43.240 --> 03:42:47.940 Often you'll see Kaid plus Izami, or Mira plus Izami, but it's odd to see the Izami get let through. 03:42:48.340 --> 03:42:51.740 I mean, you've still got that second ban, so I mean, you can always go back to the drawing board. 03:42:51.740 --> 03:42:54.660 If you don't think she's going to be a major hindrance here, 03:42:54.660 --> 03:42:55.900 then you can just leave her through. 03:42:55.900 --> 03:42:58.020 I mean, we discussed that at the G2 VP game 03:42:58.020 --> 03:43:00.020 about taking care of the Blitz, right? 03:43:00.020 --> 03:43:02.580 If you're thinking that while she is a strong operator, 03:43:02.580 --> 03:43:04.380 she's not being used to most effect, 03:43:04.380 --> 03:43:07.140 is there a more optimal ban somewhere else, 03:43:07.140 --> 03:43:09.300 specifically a target ban? 03:43:09.300 --> 03:43:10.860 Because a zombie is usually a target ban 03:43:10.860 --> 03:43:12.580 because most teams have an zombie player. 03:43:12.580 --> 03:43:14.900 In fact, most teams have multiple zombie players 03:43:14.900 --> 03:43:17.620 because a baby can play a zombie well in most maps 03:43:17.620 --> 03:43:18.580 at this point. 03:43:18.580 --> 03:43:20.500 Yes, for sure. 03:43:20.500 --> 03:43:25.540 see maybe after three rounds hopefully you don't lose every single round do the 03:43:25.540 --> 03:43:29.940 problems that are created by an Azami but if you feel very confident about this 03:43:29.940 --> 03:43:33.940 then you can always go back to that drawing board and take her out next. 03:43:33.940 --> 03:43:38.500 Well the point is I would argue one of the best Azami players in the world 03:43:38.500 --> 03:43:42.220 however he's not gonna rock the operator at least for round seven he'll start on 03:43:42.220 --> 03:43:46.700 the Aruni to get that long-angled DMR this is the typical pick for him so I 03:43:46.700 --> 03:43:49.860 I think SR is choosing not to deviate from their set strategies, 03:43:49.860 --> 03:43:52.940 maybe expecting an Azami ban and feeling like it's just going to be more 03:43:53.340 --> 03:43:56.660 to their style to play what they know and not mess things up too much. 03:43:56.820 --> 03:43:59.740 Lots of information here on this defense and it prompts a run out early for 03:43:59.740 --> 03:44:01.540 man and doesn't amount to any frags, 03:44:01.660 --> 03:44:04.020 but kind of puts the idea in the back of Enterprise's head like, 03:44:04.020 --> 03:44:05.820 okay, these guys could be playing aggressive. 03:44:05.820 --> 03:44:07.180 It's the first defense of the half. 03:44:07.340 --> 03:44:08.260 Let's watch out. 03:44:08.740 --> 03:44:11.620 And it is crazy to think how much more successful Enterprise could have been 03:44:11.620 --> 03:44:13.380 if their early roams were supported. 03:44:13.380 --> 03:44:15.660 The mid round is where this team really shined. 03:44:15.660 --> 03:44:21.660 Now for Rebellion, they've got Ambi doing most of the calling here on the defensive side of their maps. 03:44:21.660 --> 03:44:27.660 And it's been very cool to see his growth as he's been able to stretch his legs and watch this Shopify Rebellion team excel. 03:44:27.660 --> 03:44:30.660 But it hasn't been without its warts. 03:44:30.660 --> 03:44:33.660 There have been some issues with them going to the same bombsite multiple times. 03:44:33.660 --> 03:44:37.660 That particular Falcons matchup really does come under the microscope here. 03:44:37.660 --> 03:44:39.660 But Ambi's a young guy. He's a fragger. 03:44:39.660 --> 03:44:42.660 He's going to be playing these free-flowing roles and calling at the same time. 03:44:42.660 --> 03:44:44.660 That's really difficult to do. 03:44:44.660 --> 03:44:48.900 Yeah, he's got a lot on his plate at the moment. He went for the runout, he was then caught by that lion charge, 03:44:48.900 --> 03:44:53.940 merely a suggestion as he sprints away to not dive that window position earlier on from Tuhan. 03:44:53.940 --> 03:44:55.580 So good for Mammy to stay alive. 03:44:55.580 --> 03:45:00.220 What's this push looking like really from Enterprise? They've not got really any control up towards the top floor. 03:45:00.220 --> 03:45:05.620 Of course, they're outside the mining window, as you always will be on this bomb site, but without this information, right, 03:45:05.620 --> 03:45:09.020 they've got some good intel, but without being able to capitalize on it, without a pick, 03:45:09.020 --> 03:45:12.180 it's going to be difficult to swarm into the site like they might be hoping for. 03:45:12.180 --> 03:45:16.700 So instead of passive play, it's waiting for a swing, but no opportunities capitalized on yet. 03:45:17.340 --> 03:45:19.780 Spot holding this window, two on the first to die. 03:45:19.780 --> 03:45:23.340 Opening picks have not been in the forte of this Enterprise team. 03:45:23.340 --> 03:45:28.240 Only one time, it was in the previous round, so Rebellion back to striking first. 03:45:29.440 --> 03:45:33.120 Losing that line will be top of Stool of the Doca Bean, but now you've lost Brendo as well. 03:45:33.120 --> 03:45:37.020 Brendo usually competing for the top for Enterprise. 03:45:37.020 --> 03:45:41.660 Down goes Jigsaw and my, oh my, a suffocating defense for. 03:45:41.660 --> 03:45:47.260 Rebellion they are not letting Enterprise up for air one bit spuit the only casualty so far 03:45:47.260 --> 03:45:51.740 But Cairo has his hands full he'll have to deal with four players on the side of rebellion 03:45:53.740 --> 03:45:55.740 Even doing this point in time 03:45:57.660 --> 03:46:00.800 I mean 60 seconds here Cairo. It's got the diffuser 03:46:01.100 --> 03:46:06.620 There's a pulse on the board so they will know where he's coming from killing rexon over by white gives them even more information 03:46:06.780 --> 03:46:11.440 And now in this corridor fighting to survive fighting to keep Enterprise in this 03:46:11.660 --> 03:46:18.460 It was a great comeback for this Oast team, but I think they might have just bit off a bit more. They can chew with that very first attack. 03:46:18.900 --> 03:46:26.340 Nitro Cell goes out, Rebellion will regain the lead, Enterprise will need to wait a little bit longer to lead on their own map on Cafe. 03:46:26.460 --> 03:46:30.500 Nice little Nitro to cap off the 3k from Surf, he takes down Cairo. 03:46:30.500 --> 03:46:33.140 I mentioned how Surf is the most ops played here at the event. 03:46:33.140 --> 03:46:36.220 Cairo, the most operators played for Enterprise so far. 03:46:36.220 --> 03:46:41.340 he was at 30 before this series and it really is kind of an aggressive defense coming through from 03:46:41.340 --> 03:46:46.940 Shopify Rebellion. It starts with Rex and getting so aggro over inside a piano. It's really important 03:46:46.940 --> 03:46:50.860 that the mental illness gets shaken after that second quarter comeback from Enterprise. They 03:46:50.860 --> 03:46:55.420 just got three rounds straight in a row. You have your two minutes timeout. Shopify Rebellion do a 03:46:55.420 --> 03:46:59.820 good job of not letting that get into their head. It was initially Ambi who brings that aggression, 03:46:59.820 --> 03:47:04.060 who runs out, who gets caught by the lion, who is threatening that pressure, but that's not 03:47:04.060 --> 03:47:08.620 where the first strike comes. If SR can continue with that, right, playing with their food a little bit, 03:47:08.620 --> 03:47:12.540 showcase some aggression over here, but then the actual swing and frag comes up over there. 03:47:12.540 --> 03:47:15.980 It's going to be really difficult for Enterprise to get a handle on this defense, 03:47:15.980 --> 03:47:19.980 but it might struggle in this second half. Yeah, I mean, it can be really, really tough 03:47:19.980 --> 03:47:24.380 running uphill, and I mean, Rebellion obviously have a big difference now in the way that they 03:47:24.380 --> 03:47:30.220 approach these defenses with a whole different set of eyes governing them. Canadian often comes 03:47:30.220 --> 03:47:36.540 under fire for his play he's three and four right now he's been more active on this map in his 03:47:36.540 --> 03:47:41.900 engagements he didn't play shields through all of that first half and now he's going to be playing 03:47:41.900 --> 03:47:46.060 operators that allow him to get into engagements maybe a bit more whether it be a valkyrie on a 03:47:46.060 --> 03:47:52.300 map like he would play on nighthaven labs or pulse what might i dare say it be his most 03:47:52.300 --> 03:47:59.900 signature operator he will be funneling people into the arms of rebellion and i mean hey the guns 03:47:59.900 --> 03:48:05.020 You're getting right now spoiling a positive surf positive rex and positive some of that does need to be given credit 03:48:05.500 --> 03:48:08.620 Yeah, he loves his information here on this reading room bomb site Parker 03:48:08.620 --> 03:48:14.500 If it's not the pulse it's usually something like the something like the mazzi just to gather that information tonight a bit for the defenders 03:48:14.980 --> 03:48:17.180 Outside the windows still remains enterprise 03:48:17.180 --> 03:48:20.100 They want to be able to work one of these pics before they get in towards the building 03:48:20.100 --> 03:48:23.940 They again didn't ban the a zombie which makes you think maybe they aren't gonna be outside as much 03:48:23.940 --> 03:48:29.860 But it's not being played so the opportunities are there back and outside the mining window does find the first frag through 03:48:29.900 --> 03:48:34.340 to one of those out of positions and it's Canadian to tap them to go down. 03:48:34.340 --> 03:48:36.620 Tuan's looking for another and he'll get it. 03:48:36.620 --> 03:48:40.620 As Endure Prize will find yet another kill, I believe technically Bapin got that very 03:48:40.620 --> 03:48:43.500 first pick if memory serves correctly. 03:48:43.500 --> 03:48:47.580 With you losing Canadian, there's a difference again between active and passive Gadgetry. 03:48:47.580 --> 03:48:49.680 If you're Pulse, you gotta stay alive. 03:48:49.680 --> 03:48:51.580 That's really the name of the game. 03:48:51.580 --> 03:48:58.820 Play a safe position, usually isolated or protected by reinforcements, maybe other Gadgetry. 03:48:58.820 --> 03:49:02.040 If you're running a Valkyrie, you can keep those black eye cams in positions where they can help. 03:49:02.040 --> 03:49:03.880 Canadian going down is really detrimental. 03:49:03.880 --> 03:49:07.120 Ambi on the run out takes care of Brendo. Does he get back in alive? 03:49:07.120 --> 03:49:10.660 He does. So Ambi will live to see another day and there goes two on to Spoit. 03:49:10.660 --> 03:49:15.060 Around that look like it might have been out of reach is suddenly very competitive here for both teams. 03:49:15.060 --> 03:49:18.660 It's a long angle fight from Spoit in cocktail, but he gets traded right back out from Cairo. 03:49:18.660 --> 03:49:21.900 So this is not out of the woods just yet for SR. They've got Surf alone, Top Floor. 03:49:21.900 --> 03:49:24.460 They don't know his position, but they're clearing these angles one at a time. 03:49:24.460 --> 03:49:27.260 and Ambie under fire down towards the bottom of the white stairs. 03:49:27.260 --> 03:49:30.340 A great made forces surf back, almost caught by the demos 03:49:30.340 --> 03:49:32.740 and there goes the frag, Ambie alone in the 1B3. 03:49:32.740 --> 03:49:37.300 Really well orchestrated, execute, and again, Enterprise 03:49:37.300 --> 03:49:39.900 doing very well in this mid-round. 03:49:39.900 --> 03:49:44.180 The difference is they had a great start to this round as well, Jesse. 03:49:44.180 --> 03:49:46.020 It's pushed Ambie into an unwinnable position 03:49:46.020 --> 03:49:49.460 as now his cross is being held by Jigsaw and make no mistake, 03:49:49.460 --> 03:49:51.260 Jigsaw will punish him for it. 03:49:51.260 --> 03:49:58.000 Enterprise yet to lead here on their own map, but they put themselves in a position where one more successful round 03:49:58.000 --> 03:50:03.320 And the lead is there as they tied things up. Yeah, EPs simplifying. I think a little bit there on round number eight 03:50:03.320 --> 03:50:06.000 Right, they're not getting inside the building and trying to cause chaos 03:50:06.000 --> 03:50:10.640 They're spending a little bit more time out on the windows whether it's mining whether it's piano 03:50:10.640 --> 03:50:13.460 They've got these long angle fights. They're always going to favor them 03:50:13.460 --> 03:50:18.800 He's always not being run from SR the cast is not being run from SR run around right hold these long angles 03:50:18.800 --> 03:50:23.000 You know they want to play aggressive and that's exactly what they were trying to do on the side of Shopify rebellion 03:50:23.000 --> 03:50:27.640 It was some good aggro moves particularly from ambi that kind of got them back in this game 03:50:27.640 --> 03:50:33.040 But you'd rather be in a position where they're getting aggressive to get back into it rather than to extend that man count lead 03:50:33.040 --> 03:50:35.560 Right, so it's good passive play to come through from enterprise 03:50:35.560 --> 03:50:41.440 They tie us back up at four and they stay alive on their own pick really good discipline from EP and Jesse 03:50:41.440 --> 03:50:44.560 We have something to report that wasn't noted because we were looking at replays 03:50:46.040 --> 03:50:48.040 Enterprises typers have entered the chat 03:50:48.800 --> 03:50:56.140 You know enterprise are feeling mighty good about their prospects if those fingers are finging in chat and oh boy 03:50:56.140 --> 03:50:58.140 Were they ever baffin? 03:50:58.160 --> 03:51:03.640 Criticizing the runout in the previous round again a lot of this game is confidence based 03:51:03.640 --> 03:51:06.680 I will give some credit to rebellion on that previous round 03:51:06.680 --> 03:51:12.360 They knew where the last couple EP players were but they were just at really disadvantageous fights 03:51:12.500 --> 03:51:17.260 So even when they're losing rebellion still have a good idea of where enterprise are 03:51:17.260 --> 03:51:27.180 One or two more players on rebellion are still alive. Maybe that intel nets a positive kill and suddenly you're in a better spot 03:51:27.180 --> 03:51:31.100 But that wasn't the case really tight mid-round from enterprise and they went off of it 03:51:31.420 --> 03:51:35.580 Canadian tried to hide this clash down inside of kitchen, but whether it was successful or not 03:51:35.580 --> 03:51:40.180 There have been loads of clash counters brought in this lineup for enterprise. You've got the nomad 03:51:40.180 --> 03:51:45.180 You've got the Cabot Tau and you've got really good virk play up above which can make things really awkward for the clash 03:51:45.180 --> 03:51:50.460 Ideally, if you're playing Clash on this site, you want like a horizontal shield push to come in from the attackers. 03:51:50.460 --> 03:51:55.520 That is not what's being brought by Enterprise. Taking this top floor should be relatively free. 03:51:55.520 --> 03:52:00.700 There's nobody roaming on the side of SR. They could go for a late flank, but once you set up these air jabs, 03:52:00.700 --> 03:52:03.540 I think that's likely not going to be an option for Shopify or a billion. 03:52:03.540 --> 03:52:06.740 They're probably just gonna have to sit inside the site. So expect this to be a slow round. 03:52:07.140 --> 03:52:10.960 Often on this cafe, bottom floor site, you're gonna see teams work through top two floors, 03:52:10.960 --> 03:52:14.120 pop the hatch, and then make their way in towards the bomb site from there. 03:52:14.120 --> 03:52:20.360 They brought just two can of personal pyro, so if something crazy goes down and he dies before getting the freezer hatch 03:52:20.360 --> 03:52:21.720 That could be a disaster 03:52:21.720 --> 03:52:26.800 There are Valkyries which can guide some of your cells, but as long as Tuhan is sharp he's playing the IQ here 03:52:26.800 --> 03:52:28.800 That shouldn't be a problem for it for EP 03:52:29.080 --> 03:52:35.560 Relatively slow entry for enterprise right now and with the way that rebellion have been working on both attack and now also on defense 03:52:35.560 --> 03:52:42.760 You don't necessarily want to put yourself in a position where you get picked off early enterprise though have been able to scround out a couple victories 03:52:42.760 --> 03:52:47.320 even though they've lost that first player again, crediting this mid round for the team. 03:52:47.320 --> 03:52:50.840 If you can recover really gracefully after surrendering that first pick, 03:52:50.840 --> 03:52:54.520 that really does speak to some good cohesion and structure on the team. And I mean, 03:52:54.520 --> 03:52:59.400 you said it, last time an Osteam played on Main Stage six years ago. Who was on that team, Jesse? 03:52:59.400 --> 03:53:00.040 It was Mag. 03:53:00.040 --> 03:53:01.400 And what is he now? 03:53:01.400 --> 03:53:02.360 Coaching EP. 03:53:02.360 --> 03:53:07.080 And he knows he's very prepared. We've learned an awful lot about the prep work from this team 03:53:07.080 --> 03:53:10.440 in these midpoint timeouts that we've listened to. 03:53:10.440 --> 03:53:14.140 Well, they've got a great drone here. Look at this right in the back of Ambi. 03:53:14.140 --> 03:53:17.540 Usually the Valkyrie's got info on her side, but this time it's favoring the attackers. 03:53:17.540 --> 03:53:21.140 Doohan doesn't want to get overeager with this. They still need to get that half-joke, 03:53:21.140 --> 03:53:25.340 and it looks like it just got popped by Cairo, so that's going to be an angle that they have open to drop in for the kit. 03:53:25.340 --> 03:53:32.240 Clearing VIP is critical. Whether you smoke this guy off or get the kill, you cannot drop this hatch safely until he's taken care of. 03:53:32.240 --> 03:53:36.040 And Ambi is under fire. Nade's going off in front of him. 03:53:36.040 --> 03:53:41.340 They're throwing everything but the kitchen sink in his direction, and he's exchanged some words as well. 03:53:41.340 --> 03:53:45.640 Bullets go out, nitro cell will go, try to buy time, Cairo getting the defuse kit down. 03:53:45.640 --> 03:53:49.340 Nope, Canadian to the rescue, and he might have another on the sledge. 03:53:49.340 --> 03:53:51.940 The old dog doesn't need to be taught new tricks. 03:53:51.940 --> 03:53:54.140 He knows this map, he knows this play. 03:53:54.140 --> 03:53:58.940 A multiplayer stack up over towards Freezer, reflexes maybe a bit too slow for that one. 03:53:58.940 --> 03:54:01.940 Brenda outdulls him, ambi with the D, rexing on the board. 03:54:01.940 --> 03:54:06.440 frozen out inside of this part of the map and there's no time left for recovery. 03:54:06.440 --> 03:54:10.940 Enterprise will need to wait yet again for this lead. They have tighter trailed 03:54:10.940 --> 03:54:14.740 as Rebellion continued to win these scrappy affairs. 03:54:14.740 --> 03:54:19.340 They say a shield is Canadian's best friend, but he just abandoned it in that round, Parker. 03:54:19.340 --> 03:54:22.040 Left the class shield down towards the bottom of red. 03:54:22.040 --> 03:54:25.240 Said I'm gonna bring out this SMG and stop the plant all by myself. 03:54:25.240 --> 03:54:29.440 It was brilliantly played by Enterprise to get past Ambi on that Valkyrie. 03:54:29.440 --> 03:54:31.740 They had the drone perfectly. They smoked him out. 03:54:31.740 --> 03:54:36.060 The C4 didn't land. I mean everything to the VIP player was perfectly executed. 03:54:36.060 --> 03:54:40.460 The only problem is there was another guy in the site and that was Troy. 03:54:40.460 --> 03:54:43.980 Really big moves from Canadian to recognize what that push was trying to do. 03:54:43.980 --> 03:54:46.780 Understand that he wasn't going to accomplish much on the clash. 03:54:46.780 --> 03:54:49.980 Usually the clash is finding a lot of value, maybe if there's a bakery push, 03:54:49.980 --> 03:54:53.260 because you can play those horizontal angles to stop you from coming in. 03:54:53.260 --> 03:54:55.580 But as long as you just focus on the horizontal, 03:54:55.580 --> 03:54:58.540 you just can't do a lot when Enterprise go for that top-down take. 03:54:58.540 --> 03:54:59.580 So what does he do? 03:54:59.580 --> 03:55:04.020 He leaves the shield bottom brown. He says I don't need it and he stops that plant from going down 03:55:04.020 --> 03:55:06.680 If you can't make that play the plant goes down 5v5 03:55:06.680 --> 03:55:11.260 I think enterprise wouldn't that round but the captain to stop firebellion really stands tall in round number nine 03:55:11.420 --> 03:55:16.780 Cafe is a map that and I know look you the viewer you probably hate me saying this but I am good friends with Troy 03:55:16.940 --> 03:55:20.580 But I am happy to call us beta spade. He is very critical of my casting 03:55:20.580 --> 03:55:24.340 He had some choice words for some things I've said about shop firebellion in the past. That's just the way it goes 03:55:24.340 --> 03:55:29.580 but I did talk about Troy after that fateful kickoff game where I think he 03:55:29.580 --> 03:55:33.340 got zero kills when Andy had that life game. Troy literally did come over to my 03:55:33.340 --> 03:55:35.980 house for dinner a couple days later and I said what happened there and he just 03:55:35.980 --> 03:55:40.140 said very flatly he's like I really shouldn't be getting kills on Kathy. 03:55:40.140 --> 03:55:44.020 Andy should be getting those kills and surf should be getting those kills. It's 03:55:44.020 --> 03:55:48.060 abundantly clear that Spoyd has picked up some of those spots as well but to 03:55:48.060 --> 03:55:52.380 his credit Canadian now has four frags and I do hope the naysayers are maybe 03:55:52.380 --> 03:55:57.540 say nay a little bit less because it's undeniable the way that he is using this 03:55:57.540 --> 03:55:59.900 team and the way that he's playing and the way that his teammates are playing 03:55:59.900 --> 03:56:02.700 things are going pretty well for this rebellion team and I mean the numbers 03:56:02.700 --> 03:56:06.620 don't lie right now everybody's having a pretty decent game at the moment many of 03:56:06.620 --> 03:56:09.660 the naysayers in this matchup of course will be the Australian playing against 03:56:09.660 --> 03:56:17.820 Canadian they don't say nay they say no no we lost the round sorry for that one 03:56:17.820 --> 03:56:21.820 No, I had to. Yeah, I appreciate it. He sent me up so well. 03:56:21.820 --> 03:56:24.820 I'm a Rudy Band-O by Enterprise. This was a sports operator. 03:56:24.820 --> 03:56:27.820 Last time they came around to mining and dining, he swaps over to the castle. 03:56:27.820 --> 03:56:31.820 Again, not choosing to play his most common operator of Azami in this position. 03:56:31.820 --> 03:56:34.820 Really interested to maybe ask him why that is the case, 03:56:34.820 --> 03:56:38.820 but the sledge being brought by Jigsaw, a lot of those castle barricades will get dealt with relatively quickly. 03:56:38.820 --> 03:56:41.820 Of course, it can be quite powerful over on that cigar door, 03:56:41.820 --> 03:56:44.820 so perhaps there's just some important angles for him to want to deal with, 03:56:44.820 --> 03:56:49.420 But good answers being brought by enterprise so far almost a minute deep into this round 03:56:49.420 --> 03:56:50.620 And they've not found a kill just yet 03:56:50.620 --> 03:56:54.900 And I mean you were a little surprised that we didn't see the Azami banning yet SR has not played the Azami once 03:56:54.900 --> 03:56:59.340 So I mean again sometimes you make changes as you go along 03:56:59.340 --> 03:57:04.060 You could have banned the Azami, but they don't see it being a need because she hasn't shown up just yet 03:57:04.060 --> 03:57:07.060 There goes to haunted the hands of rex in that DMR. Oh, boy 03:57:07.060 --> 03:57:11.880 It's a nasty gun in the right hands and rex it is usually the right hands for that kind of mechanical play 03:57:11.880 --> 03:57:16.880 Enterprise really struggling at the opening moments of every round attack or defense. 03:57:16.880 --> 03:57:21.880 Well this Castle Bear can actually on the back bar door is going to make things very safe for the skylight, which is one thing, 03:57:21.880 --> 03:57:28.880 but Spoyt still goes down, no DMR to hold things down, instead Rexons will have to sing two frags in this round as his teammates start to fall around him, 03:57:28.880 --> 03:57:30.880 but that is okay, man advantage SR. 03:57:30.880 --> 03:57:38.880 Rexon right now in freezer? Man chill, what are you doing here? He's playing the Zerno Canisters, this guy's cold all across the board. 03:57:38.880 --> 03:57:43.080 They're looking to close on in, but Rexon is just destroying them. 03:57:43.080 --> 03:57:45.080 A third target now for him. 03:57:45.080 --> 03:57:47.080 Jesse, you and I yet to cast an ace. 03:57:47.080 --> 03:57:48.440 We're not going to do it. 03:57:48.440 --> 03:57:49.720 I got to stop saying stuff like that. 03:57:49.720 --> 03:57:50.880 Rexon taking care of it. 03:57:50.880 --> 03:57:52.680 Brendo goes for the swing on the freezer. 03:57:52.680 --> 03:57:55.480 Advantage still for rebellion with lots of time left. 03:57:55.480 --> 03:57:57.280 Enterprise might be in a bit of trouble here. 03:57:57.280 --> 03:57:58.680 Yes, surface still top white too. 03:57:58.680 --> 03:58:01.280 Like this is not a complete call off from the roam game. 03:58:01.280 --> 03:58:03.280 Surface very aggressive up towards the top floor. 03:58:03.280 --> 03:58:05.080 They seemingly don't know either. 03:58:05.080 --> 03:58:06.880 So it's free right onto Brendo. 03:58:06.880 --> 03:58:08.680 They thought it was clear, but not the case. 03:58:08.680 --> 03:58:09.960 Bappin 1v3. 03:58:09.960 --> 03:58:13.280 Jesse, would you say it's for real estate? 03:58:13.280 --> 03:58:14.680 It's free at this point. 03:58:14.680 --> 03:58:16.080 Oh, I don't think you've seen the video. 03:58:16.080 --> 03:58:17.960 We simply have to show you the video. 03:58:17.960 --> 03:58:18.960 He doesn't know ball chat. 03:58:18.960 --> 03:58:19.520 He doesn't. 03:58:19.520 --> 03:58:21.000 It's ball knowledge of Tim and Eric. 03:58:21.000 --> 03:58:23.000 It's just needs to get up there. 03:58:23.000 --> 03:58:25.240 Bappin right now, I do fear might be prolonging 03:58:25.240 --> 03:58:26.960 the inevitable just a little bit. 03:58:26.960 --> 03:58:28.240 No case control. 03:58:28.240 --> 03:58:30.120 He's still got some track stingers in pocket, 03:58:30.120 --> 03:58:32.440 but they're not going to really have much use here. 03:58:32.440 --> 03:58:33.720 He had a good read on surf, but I 03:58:33.720 --> 03:58:36.760 mean, you're at the disadvantage at that point in time. 03:58:36.760 --> 03:58:42.040 Great round for the Rebellion, one away from sniping Enterprise's map. 03:58:42.040 --> 03:58:46.760 And it again comes back off those really important kills from Rex in Ritchie Coronado, 03:58:46.760 --> 03:58:52.060 genuinely one of the most consistent players that I have been able to cast over the last five or six years. 03:58:52.060 --> 03:58:57.160 He's been on this team for over five years now, if you include that Sonic's core that became Shopify Rebellion. 03:58:57.160 --> 03:59:02.800 And you go back through his stats, he's almost never gone negative in that time here on SR. 03:59:02.800 --> 03:59:05.400 He's not always the flashiest guy in the game, right? 03:59:05.400 --> 03:59:09.640 When Sports hitting Multi-Kills, when Ambys hitting Multi-Kills, when Surf's getting crazy clutches, 03:59:09.640 --> 03:59:15.720 Rexon often isn't talked about, but he is so consistent for the last few years on this team 03:59:15.720 --> 03:59:20.520 that it's no wonder how he's kept his spot and how he's been able to make such big moments happen 03:59:20.520 --> 03:59:25.160 with Shopify or Bellion throughout some big games in the past. That's probably his best round of the 03:59:25.160 --> 03:59:31.880 tournament so far. He sets 12 and 7 to kill Leader inside this lobby. Again, I gotta go back to Surf 03:59:31.880 --> 03:59:35.180 as well as rap spots so important in that last round to give themselves a win. 03:59:35.180 --> 03:59:36.980 Callie boys, man. 03:59:36.980 --> 03:59:42.080 California dreamin' here, not too far removed from Salt Lake City, another good California. 03:59:42.080 --> 03:59:45.080 Cotton Cold will be playing later today. 03:59:45.080 --> 03:59:48.280 Over on the B stream, we do have a result between Loose and Webo, 03:59:48.280 --> 03:59:49.680 but we will not spoil it. 03:59:49.680 --> 03:59:52.880 The next matchup is set to begin in just a matter of moments. 03:59:52.880 --> 03:59:57.080 It might even be ongoing, but we are, this might surprise some people, 03:59:57.080 --> 04:00:00.880 we're not actively watching the other stream while casting this stream. 04:00:00.880 --> 04:00:03.640 I'm not that ADHD pill, I suppose. 04:00:03.640 --> 04:00:06.640 No, we need some, some casters might be, right? 04:00:06.640 --> 04:00:07.480 Give me a little tip. 04:00:07.480 --> 04:00:09.400 Maybe you got to stand me, absolutely. 04:00:09.400 --> 04:00:11.480 I'm not that kind of guy. 04:00:11.480 --> 04:00:13.080 I need to stand every now and then. 04:00:13.080 --> 04:00:14.640 Sure, maybe just a little bit. 04:00:14.640 --> 04:00:15.600 Caffeine helps. 04:00:15.600 --> 04:00:17.960 Rebellion though, about to take Enterprise's map. 04:00:17.960 --> 04:00:20.760 The phrase we said, and have said on broadcast time and time 04:00:20.760 --> 04:00:22.880 again, you're not in trouble until you've lost at home. 04:00:22.880 --> 04:00:26.560 And that is what is staring down Enterprise at this moment. 04:00:26.560 --> 04:00:28.280 Staring down the barrel of defeat. 04:00:28.280 --> 04:00:34.600 And then rebellion get to go over to the night even labs and will be in really good shape to close this out in a two 04:00:34.600 --> 04:00:40.200 Oh, I will remind people. This is a qualification match. So loser does get to play again 04:00:40.700 --> 04:00:44.480 This is just to play on the main stage and neither of these teams played in front of the crowd 04:00:44.740 --> 04:00:47.560 So rebellion hoping for that to be true 04:00:48.480 --> 04:00:54.820 The invincible castle barricade surviving two direct frag grenades now parker. That's tough one coming out from the black beard of Cairo 04:00:54.820 --> 04:01:01.820 Keep Serf's position so strong just inside of Cigar now as they've been really doing their best to clear this out. 04:01:03.820 --> 04:01:08.820 At this point, even if Serf dies in Cigar, he's wasted so much good time that I honestly think it's okay. 04:01:08.820 --> 04:01:14.820 You'd want Spoyt to get a trade if that does happen, but they're so confident playing their spots, they don't have to move. 04:01:14.820 --> 04:01:16.820 The onus is on Enterprise to force these players out. 04:01:16.820 --> 04:01:22.740 out. I'll go the Bs to try and isolate this play at top light. Halfway through the round, 04:01:22.740 --> 04:01:27.460 Rexon eliminating two on Enterprise. I've only been able to strike first twice so far in this 04:01:27.460 --> 04:01:32.740 entire series. The mid-round has been there 14. They might not have enough bodies to get there at 04:01:32.740 --> 04:01:38.740 this point in time. Jesse Rebellion have taken out another as now Jigsaw is gone. Nobody on this 04:01:38.740 --> 04:01:44.500 team in a positive KD. Brenda will die. Rebellion looking for a flawless round will not be found. 04:01:44.500 --> 04:01:48.560 on Cairo, eliminating Rexon, and now a fall off from the rebellion. 04:01:48.560 --> 04:01:53.900 They've got so much damage here, and they are in excellent position to close out Enterprise's map. 04:01:53.900 --> 04:01:59.140 All the pressure on Bapin and Cairo, they must win this 2v4 clutch, but it's so tough. 04:01:59.140 --> 04:02:00.820 They've got time to work with, that's one thing. 04:02:00.820 --> 04:02:02.940 The Fuser is kind of far away. 04:02:02.940 --> 04:02:05.740 It's outside the building, just outside of White Stairs as well, 04:02:05.740 --> 04:02:08.100 so they really won't be able to go for a plant here, Parker. 04:02:08.100 --> 04:02:10.340 They have to go in and find all four frags. 04:02:10.340 --> 04:02:12.580 That Nade went off to try and take care of the Castle Barricade. 04:02:12.580 --> 04:02:15.220 It did not work. Those Nades give it and they take it away. 04:02:15.220 --> 04:02:18.020 Jesse, you need to bring some other type of direct destruction. 04:02:18.580 --> 04:02:20.860 Maybe on map number two, because that's where we're heading. 04:02:20.860 --> 04:02:22.500 Enterprise just as Bap and Levine. 04:02:22.500 --> 04:02:25.000 And he says, good night. See you later. 04:02:25.000 --> 04:02:26.440 Café is ours. 04:02:26.440 --> 04:02:31.260 SR taking Enterprise's map with an incredible performance. 04:02:31.260 --> 04:02:33.140 Seven for the scoreline. 04:02:33.140 --> 04:02:38.100 One map away from SR being on main stage for the first time ever. 04:02:38.900 --> 04:02:41.640 A massive result coming out, taking their opponents. 04:02:41.640 --> 04:02:46.380 It started so strong with three in a row and the mountain was just too big to come back from 04:02:46.620 --> 04:02:50.420 Shopify rebellion steal their opponent's pick in this best of three series 04:05:41.640 --> 04:05:43.640 I 04:09:41.640 --> 04:09:46.440 matches here on the a stream and boy oh boy was that a bit of a shocker yeah 04:09:46.440 --> 04:09:52.480 enterprise shop of ira baleon shop of ira baleon said this is your map this is 04:09:52.480 --> 04:09:56.480 my map and now shop of ira baleon is up 1-0 and they are a single map away from 04:09:56.480 --> 04:09:59.720 the first time that they would play in front of the crowd since their 04:09:59.720 --> 04:10:03.800 inception yeah exactly shop fire billion have yet to make it to that big main 04:10:03.800 --> 04:10:07.320 stage they've been hoping for of course under old organizations they've hit that 04:10:07.320 --> 04:10:11.720 high-water mark but not here since representing the lime green so gonna be 04:10:11.720 --> 04:10:15.480 really excited to see if they can close things down on night Haven labs this 04:10:15.480 --> 04:10:19.000 will be their map pick as well Enterprise students start on the 04:10:19.000 --> 04:10:22.640 defense as expected so they will have to be able to rack up the rounds early 04:10:22.640 --> 04:10:28.840 otherwise SR could be off to a strong day and you the people think that SR is 04:10:28.840 --> 04:10:32.720 gonna walk away with this so far you've been pretty correct with your social 04:10:32.720 --> 04:10:36.800 predictions don't forget to get your predictions in and spam the chat with 04:10:36.800 --> 04:10:41.680 exclamation mark charm. It does increase your ability to get those drops. Let's see. We'll 04:10:41.680 --> 04:10:50.000 SR close this one out to oh, we'll enter prize fight back and stay in convention to make it to main 04:10:50.000 --> 04:10:58.560 stage. A reminder, the loser is still in this event. They will play tomorrow in a best of three 04:10:58.560 --> 04:11:06.080 to see if they go home or go to the main stage. So the stakes are high, but it's not dire enterprise 04:11:06.080 --> 04:11:08.820 or Shop of Fire Rebellion, we'll have at least one more chance. 04:11:08.820 --> 04:11:11.820 20% community vote is not bad if you're enterprise. 04:11:11.820 --> 04:11:13.880 They've come back from worse than that. 04:11:13.880 --> 04:11:16.780 And of course, just yesterday, a huge upset victory, 04:11:16.780 --> 04:11:20.540 beating the Falcons 8-6 and the best of one on this very map. 04:11:20.540 --> 04:11:23.680 So we know that enterprise can be exceptional playing here, 04:11:23.680 --> 04:11:26.880 but it's also a lot of footage that Super and the rest of the squad on SR 04:11:26.880 --> 04:11:29.340 will have been reviewing over the last 24 hours. 04:11:29.340 --> 04:11:32.520 So hopefully they've had some time to change up their strats just a bit. 04:11:32.520 --> 04:11:34.240 Shop of Fire Rebellion 2-0 this season, 04:11:34.240 --> 04:11:38.040 beating both one of 30 and Edward gaming so both teams quite familiar with this 04:11:38.040 --> 04:11:41.820 map both teams quite good at this map but maybe a bit of an information edge 04:11:41.820 --> 04:11:45.820 favoring the North American team they will ban electricity off the walls of 04:11:45.820 --> 04:11:49.960 course as we accept as we come to expect from the very hard-breach focused map of 04:11:49.960 --> 04:11:54.220 night Haven labs and then you can ace removed by Enterprise unfortunately 04:11:54.220 --> 04:11:59.540 longtime haters of Nikola Tesla and was your guys name oh Thomas Edison the guy 04:11:59.540 --> 04:12:00.420 He stole all of it for me. 04:12:00.420 --> 04:12:01.020 Click. 04:12:03.120 --> 04:12:04.040 Don't have a lot to say that. 04:12:04.040 --> 04:12:07.520 Because Edison is American, of course, and we are in America. 04:12:07.520 --> 04:12:09.580 So I see just a small joke here. 04:12:09.580 --> 04:12:10.880 But yeah, I mean, no electrification 04:12:10.880 --> 04:12:13.180 means that getting open those walls will be relatively easy. 04:12:13.180 --> 04:12:15.120 Not that teams usually struggle with that. 04:12:15.120 --> 04:12:16.320 Even if they do. 04:12:16.320 --> 04:12:17.220 Depends on the team. 04:12:17.220 --> 04:12:17.720 OK. 04:12:17.720 --> 04:12:18.220 Hold on. 04:12:18.220 --> 04:12:18.720 Hold on. 04:12:18.720 --> 04:12:19.220 Hold on. 04:12:19.220 --> 04:12:19.720 Hold on. 04:12:22.220 --> 04:12:23.540 Yes. 04:12:23.540 --> 04:12:28.580 Some teams struggle with their own drums. 04:12:28.580 --> 04:12:36.020 short. But teams are starting to get to the point where they can approach this bomb site with the 04:12:36.020 --> 04:12:39.220 electrification remaining open. I do think you're correct. I think they're good bands, but an 04:12:39.220 --> 04:12:43.460 Azami band is not a bad idea here either. Yeah. Even though we didn't see an Azami band on map number 04:12:43.460 --> 04:12:48.820 one, she is a very strong operator here. Mira is a strong operator here. There are lots of good 04:12:48.820 --> 04:12:54.500 options and just simply not enough bands at this point in time. And again, as we said about the 04:12:54.500 --> 04:13:00.820 zombie all the way back on the first map. You can always ban after three rounds. 04:13:00.820 --> 04:13:05.460 Yeah, Mira of course a common ban on this Bonse as well. Not necessarily because the window is 04:13:05.460 --> 04:13:09.780 going to be so good to help gun fights, but just because it is another wall denial operator, 04:13:09.780 --> 04:13:14.180 when you toss those impacts, when you make some threatening moves throughout that open window on 04:13:14.180 --> 04:13:18.900 the IT breach, that's exactly what Kyra has just done with his secondary window being placed down 04:13:18.900 --> 04:13:22.740 on the breach. So it's still not going to be free for SR to open that one up, but with Surf on the 04:13:22.740 --> 04:13:26.540 On the Habana, they should have the tools that are needed to make that play happen. 04:13:26.540 --> 04:13:32.840 Now, Tujan, over onto the pulse, this is actually not going to be a top floor defense. 04:13:32.840 --> 04:13:36.740 So I was going to say pulse very odd on this pulse site, but of course the site is storage 04:13:36.740 --> 04:13:41.260 and control, so a little bit less uncommon here to see this operator come through. 04:13:41.260 --> 04:13:44.900 But once more, the top floor will be the focal point for this attack. 04:13:44.900 --> 04:13:47.740 Generally what a team would want to do on this site is they want to open up IT breach 04:13:47.740 --> 04:13:52.460 up above and then get in through the site window, but it will be Canadian with a Twitch 04:13:52.460 --> 04:14:01.460 Yes! Yes! We don't get to see Twitch Drone kills. I'm sorry. I just, I remember back in the day when they used to do 10 damage and you could spawn in and kill somebody in prep phase. 04:14:01.460 --> 04:14:02.460 Yeah. 04:14:02.460 --> 04:14:10.460 Because you just tased somebody who was AFK 10 times. Oh my goodness. It's like when you see somebody dying like a breaching charge or something. It just brings out the inner kidney. That's all. 04:14:10.460 --> 04:14:15.460 I delight in, again, the Tom Fulery. Kyro will join Jigsaw. 04:14:15.460 --> 04:14:21.960 Down goes Canadian to a nitro cell, so Enterprise still has some bark left alongside their fight, 04:14:21.960 --> 04:14:25.460 but they're gonna need a bit more bite, especially now that Tuana has perished. 04:14:26.460 --> 04:14:32.460 I see that Old Habit still die hard. A very fast pace was set by SR on map number one. 04:14:32.460 --> 04:14:35.960 They have not let off the gas at all here on map two. 04:14:35.960 --> 04:14:40.460 No, it's been technically a double kill from Spoit. That twitch drone frag credited to him down from the bottom of garage. 04:14:40.460 --> 04:14:45.100 And now he's got to do Canadian's job once again as he picks up that the fuse kit tries to plant it 04:14:45.100 --> 04:14:47.360 No more nitro cells. So it's got to be a pure raw swing 04:14:47.680 --> 04:14:53.760 Ambious better though and Bapin in the 1v4 will have to play the post plant very good coordination to cover that angle 04:14:53.760 --> 04:15:00.560 And I mean Bapin picked up a lot of kills and garbage time on the previous map some more helpful than others 04:15:00.940 --> 04:15:07.520 But very few actually turned the tides of this round. He's got one to his name three targets to find 04:15:07.520 --> 04:15:09.660 There's actually a plenty to happen for Enterprise 04:15:09.660 --> 04:15:15.660 But with the discipline that's been shown by the rebellion, I do not love his chances to compound batters. 04:15:15.660 --> 04:15:17.660 He's got the timer working against him. 04:15:17.660 --> 04:15:21.660 Scorpion maybe not the gun to engage at this long range. He does a little bit of damage. 04:15:21.660 --> 04:15:25.660 But those bullets tickle you at that point in time and no tickle fight to be had. 04:15:25.660 --> 04:15:30.660 Rex in the final kill and SR, their reign of terror over Enterprise continues apace. 04:15:30.660 --> 04:15:32.660 I want to highlight Cerf briefly, Parker. 04:15:32.660 --> 04:15:36.660 He was such an important part of that 3-0 lead that SR was able to get back on CAFE 04:15:36.660 --> 04:15:41.220 cafe and really a lot of it was just finding and hitting those gaps when the opponents aren't 04:15:41.220 --> 04:15:45.380 expecting it at the most critical times. He did it again. We didn't catch it on the main stream 04:15:45.380 --> 04:15:49.780 but of course, Sirf able to just walk his way in through lounge, got a critical frag just in the 04:15:49.780 --> 04:15:54.100 midst of that, the second of the round favoring Shopify Rebellion and so it's just those little 04:15:54.100 --> 04:15:57.940 moments, those little gaps in the defense that Enterprise have had throughout the day that 04:15:57.940 --> 04:16:02.340 Shopify Rebellion have done such an amazing job at finding out and making sure that they can 04:16:02.340 --> 04:16:06.900 can capitalize on. If you were to give the Twitch drone kill over to Canadian, which I 04:16:06.900 --> 04:16:11.980 know we can't, but if you were, it would have been a teammates to come through from SR, but 04:16:11.980 --> 04:16:16.860 Spoyt gets the down initially, so it will be slightly denied here on the offensive side. 04:16:16.860 --> 04:16:18.860 Exactly, same thing happened around 1-0. 04:16:18.860 --> 04:16:21.860 Yeah, you're right. Was it Rex that was the one who got the double kill? 04:16:21.860 --> 04:16:25.980 I think Rex had got 2, and Kennedy got 0, but he still had an assist, so big ups to 04:16:25.980 --> 04:16:28.660 him. Yeah, we'll count that, of course, for the 04:16:28.660 --> 04:16:33.220 hardcore stat believers but interested that we're not seeing Enterprise go 04:16:33.220 --> 04:16:37.260 top floor still there are some sites where like the first site you play is 04:16:37.260 --> 04:16:40.180 kind of up in the air like yeah hey you can really go anywhere first site 04:16:40.180 --> 04:16:44.620 shallay we see teams mix things up for the first site but not even labs I mean 04:16:44.620 --> 04:16:48.140 the top floor is just thought to be so much better than either of the other 04:16:48.140 --> 04:16:51.620 sites that you see I could maybe see going storage and then top but the fact 04:16:51.620 --> 04:16:55.940 the top is not being played at all until round three likely is I don't know it's 04:16:55.940 --> 04:16:59.620 bit of a surprise to me. So, Jesse, I know you're not a very good cook, but there is a kitchen on this map. 04:17:01.300 --> 04:17:07.860 People do defend this bomb site from time to time. We saw bar stage on Clubhouse. Anything is possible. 04:17:07.860 --> 04:17:13.860 It's possible. We saw supply on border. Like, less than an hour ago, crazier things have happened. 04:17:13.860 --> 04:17:19.300 And teams will work pocket strats, but you are spot on. Usually, you have the three site rotation here. 04:17:19.860 --> 04:17:25.540 Teams, depending on familiarity, might go over to kitchen if it's a Hail Mary pass or 04:17:25.940 --> 04:17:32.640 They feel they are really experienced on it, but typically that bomb site does not show up more than maybe twice in an event. 04:17:32.640 --> 04:17:36.340 Some teams like it, but again, they usually favor over this basement site. 04:17:36.340 --> 04:17:38.740 This bottom floor bomb site has kind of been... 04:17:38.740 --> 04:17:41.040 It's been really falling out of favor. 04:17:41.040 --> 04:17:43.540 I mean, there's been a lot of talk on Twitter about this bottom floor site. 04:17:43.540 --> 04:17:48.540 I know Grant's the former analyst has talked a lot about its win rate and how it's not really finding much success these days. 04:17:48.540 --> 04:17:50.340 Jigsaw finding some success, though. 04:17:50.340 --> 04:17:52.740 His first kill of the map will find Rexon and the Thermite. 04:17:52.740 --> 04:17:56.740 He had done most of his job already, but that's still a big pick to come through from Yellow. 04:17:59.740 --> 04:18:00.740 He's looking for another. 04:18:02.540 --> 04:18:05.440 So now there's some calm as that logic bomb finally falls off. 04:18:05.440 --> 04:18:07.040 Shelly kind of went through that same rotation. 04:18:07.040 --> 04:18:10.640 Hey, the bottom floor bomb site on Shelly was really popular for quite some time. 04:18:11.040 --> 04:18:13.940 And now you see teams avoid it like the plague. 04:18:15.440 --> 04:18:17.840 Enterprise at the halfway point. 04:18:18.640 --> 04:18:20.440 Just waiting out this day most mark. 04:18:20.440 --> 04:18:28.440 SPOIT! SPOIT has been the lightning rod for this team and my god, I don't even think Bapin saw that! 04:18:28.440 --> 04:18:35.440 Yeah, I mean, you've got the demo track on you, you clearly know this if you're Bapin, you're gonna go for the 1v1 versus SPOIT of all people? 04:18:35.440 --> 04:18:38.440 I don't know, that's a tough fight to take for Enterprise. 04:18:38.440 --> 04:18:48.440 And the SPOIT far and away have the most kills at this event, but it is worth noting, SR has played something like 20 more rounds than the next closest team. 04:18:48.440 --> 04:18:51.100 It's one of those things where you're just going to pick up kills based on the amount 04:18:53.360 --> 04:18:58.880 All right, it's gonna be one of those types of days. It's one of these games. It's just a bunch of youngsters that just 04:19:00.200 --> 04:19:03.880 They're on there. It's yeah, there were some things I could say 04:19:03.880 --> 04:19:08.400 But I'm not gonna say them because I don't want to see offensive. But yeah, they're they're insane 04:19:09.560 --> 04:19:12.400 Now you got spoilt lined up for a potential other kill 04:19:13.040 --> 04:19:17.920 That would have made him. Oh my goodness. He could have got jigsaw there surf will get it instead 04:19:18.440 --> 04:19:23.440 Down goes, spoilt, ambitrains it back. Rebellion not slowing down at all. 04:19:23.440 --> 04:19:30.440 Big motivating round. Incredible first map and definitely feels like the wind is at the back of the rebellion. 04:19:30.440 --> 04:19:35.440 How many times has event Parker, have we talked about that Intel operator trio, Dokeby, Snake and Deimos, 04:19:35.440 --> 04:19:39.440 who have made roaming so difficult in the meta that we have today. 04:19:39.440 --> 04:19:46.440 And what are the three operators left alive in that 3v3? It's Snake, Deimos, Dokeby, ready to just lock down that bomb site. 04:19:46.440 --> 04:19:49.880 Brilliant shots being hit by Ambien's spoit in particular. 04:19:49.880 --> 04:19:56.520 Spoit, you know, maybe we'll forget about those basement engagements just because of how good the first fight was up on the wards that cafeteria side, 04:19:56.520 --> 04:20:01.080 but even still like SR just seemed like they're firing on all cylinders right now. 04:20:01.080 --> 04:20:10.120 They look so sharp on the individual mechanics and when you combine a really high-skilled player with all of the information that SR clearly have, 04:20:10.120 --> 04:20:17.440 not just on the three operators, but also Canadian either playing a drone operator or a shield operator gathering info to help his teammates as well 04:20:17.440 --> 04:20:24.760 It really just sets up SR to be in the best position to be so scary to fight against on any like far off site position 04:20:25.520 --> 04:20:30.880 And with this being their map pick it should be Enterprise running up the score and yet 04:20:30.880 --> 04:20:32.800 Yeah, they have looked listless 04:20:32.800 --> 04:20:38.160 I will say just from the eye test Enterprise do look better and more comfortable here 04:20:38.160 --> 04:20:43.200 Agreed then they did on cafe. Now, obviously we could dive into the numbers and maybe some of the ball knowers would be 04:20:43.680 --> 04:20:45.280 able to shine a 04:20:45.280 --> 04:20:47.280 Other stronger or a different light than us 04:20:47.280 --> 04:20:52.360 But just from what we've seen and what we've assessed enterprise looks like they're more warmed up now 04:20:52.360 --> 04:20:56.400 It's entirely possible. They just came in cold on cafe. It really could be something like that 04:20:57.040 --> 04:21:01.560 But here you cannot let things get too far ahead of you on cafe 04:21:01.560 --> 04:21:07.280 You let SR run up the score you managed to pull it back for the first half before falling apart 04:21:07.280 --> 04:21:21.280 Here, it's completely different. SR is going to be going on to their preferred side, so it is incumbent upon you to get a couple rounds here, and maybe make SR question their own strategy and get in their heads. 04:21:21.280 --> 04:21:28.280 No mirror, no mute, so these walls get opened up with really no issues on the side of SR. There is Jigsaw, of course, here on the two-round. 04:21:28.280 --> 04:21:35.280 He had the opportunity to close off that connector wall. He didn't take it. I think he wants to save all three of these other canisters just for IT. 04:21:35.280 --> 04:21:40.400 IT. I will often call this the most important wall in all of Rainbow Six. It continues to 04:21:40.400 --> 04:21:45.680 be so critical for attackers and defenders to focus on. So even though it will open eventually, 04:21:45.680 --> 04:21:49.760 this massive stall game coming up from Jigsaw could make a huge difference when we get into the 04:21:49.760 --> 04:21:54.560 last 60 seconds. Never heard you say that before. Well, there you go. There you go. Now I've heard 04:21:54.560 --> 04:21:59.200 something new and I will shamelessly take it. The wall has been opened up by the way. And so the 04:21:59.200 --> 04:22:03.440 the rigmarole that typically happens in IT, we have a couple of maps where there is rigging and 04:22:03.440 --> 04:22:07.920 rolling as we talked about. Downstairs bank basement is a good one. Now that you've opened it up, 04:22:07.920 --> 04:22:12.320 what's next? This connector portion right here is so incredibly important because once that 04:22:12.320 --> 04:22:17.600 bridge is open, if you can wrestle control here away from the defenders, you have a perfect crossfire 04:22:17.600 --> 04:22:23.040 to paralyze the defenders and gun them down. There you go. Look at that. Spoint on the glass, 04:22:23.040 --> 04:22:28.400 answer back. Spoint's deaths all seemingly coming from nitro cells. I think it's shot in the previous 04:22:28.400 --> 04:22:33.120 round there's Andy with the F2 in hand and cannot out to a Brendo. Down goes 04:22:33.120 --> 04:22:36.800 Rex and he'll get picked back up by service. Canadian gets dropped yet again 04:22:36.800 --> 04:22:41.040 by an M8-7. It's the second time that that's happened in this series. It's a little 04:22:41.040 --> 04:22:46.720 odd with how little we see that shotgun, but with Thorne on the board, you'll see 04:22:46.720 --> 04:22:49.880 it from time to time. It's a bit of a hole that the Rebellioner and Jesse have 04:22:49.880 --> 04:22:53.600 got a lot of time to work with. Enter prize. Just need to sit tight and not give 04:22:53.600 --> 04:22:56.960 too much up and they should skate to victory. Yeah, no need to overpeak this. 04:22:56.960 --> 04:22:59.720 of course those airgebs getting tossed out but they've just been shot so it's 04:22:59.720 --> 04:23:03.000 not really gonna be something to worry about. Rexxan is praying for a swing but 04:23:03.000 --> 04:23:06.240 it should not come from Cairo. 04:23:06.640 --> 04:23:14.120 Surf might have something to do with the shotgun too. This is winnable. He gets one. 04:23:14.120 --> 04:23:17.840 Surf now has to turn his sights towards the two other players running at a time 04:23:17.840 --> 04:23:23.680 and look at that the warden of two on close up. Saw the Azami maybe for a pixel, 04:23:23.680 --> 04:23:29.200 A pixel of her for a split second, but ultimately not a knob really well played by enterprise again 04:23:29.440 --> 04:23:33.600 Through that mid to late round things go well, and I once again will report 04:23:34.160 --> 04:23:36.160 Enterprises typing in chat 04:23:37.000 --> 04:23:43.280 Again Parker, it's the best side of the map for a reason and we finally get there for enterprise and finally they do manage to close 04:23:43.280 --> 04:23:46.480 That one out. It's just really good mid-round fighting as you said 04:23:46.480 --> 04:23:51.480 It was Brenda who got that frag on to Andy and then it was Kyra with the shotgun that killed Canadian 04:23:51.480 --> 04:23:54.580 you said at the M870, he was just trying to make his way in through 04:23:54.580 --> 04:23:58.180 Electrical. That's where Cairo was playing the entire round practically 04:23:58.180 --> 04:24:00.480 trying to support Babin over on that connector side. 04:24:00.580 --> 04:24:03.680 Even after Babin dies, Cairo continues to hold down that position. 04:24:03.680 --> 04:24:05.880 I don't know. We think it's a catch it quite on the main feed. 04:24:05.880 --> 04:24:07.980 So maybe Canadian just getting melee. 04:24:07.980 --> 04:24:09.880 Maybe he's a little bit isolated by his teammates. 04:24:09.880 --> 04:24:13.280 That'll happen from time to time, but so difficult to push onto 04:24:13.280 --> 04:24:16.480 that top floor of Nighthaven Labs Enterprise alive in this series. 04:24:16.480 --> 04:24:17.380 They get their first. 04:24:17.380 --> 04:24:24.380 Can't call it a tertiary site because it is obviously quite often, but very first time 04:24:24.380 --> 04:24:26.180 they go to it, it gets used. 04:24:26.180 --> 04:24:29.100 And Parker, I don't know if you've known this, but there is actually a kitchen on this map 04:24:29.100 --> 04:24:30.100 of Nighthaven Labs. 04:24:30.100 --> 04:24:31.100 Okay. 04:24:31.100 --> 04:24:34.460 You can't just take my line. 04:24:34.460 --> 04:24:35.460 I don't know what you're talking about. 04:24:35.460 --> 04:24:39.860 This is going to be the fourth bomb site that Enterprise have played in four rounds. 04:24:39.860 --> 04:24:44.220 So clearly feeling that all maps are comfortable for them. 04:24:44.220 --> 04:24:53.220 I said this in pairs, I'll say it again, I hate you so much for the things that you say. 04:24:53.220 --> 04:24:59.220 Oh boy. Nobody sees you as mad, nobody sees you as bombsite, you always go down stairs, 04:24:59.220 --> 04:25:03.220 your kitchen's been more popular, oh did you know that they're playing kitchen? 04:25:03.220 --> 04:25:05.220 I don't sound like that, I didn't say you did. 04:25:05.220 --> 04:25:06.220 I don't sound like that. 04:25:06.220 --> 04:25:11.220 But anyway, we go to kitchen cafeteria, this will be a full run across the map for Enterprise, 04:25:11.220 --> 04:25:12.980 you very correctly pointed out. 04:25:15.380 --> 04:25:19.140 Of course, as with any main floor bomb site, most teams are 04:25:19.140 --> 04:25:21.340 going to want to go for a top down clear you can see from the 04:25:21.340 --> 04:25:23.940 blue silhouettes on your screen. Enterprises paying quite 04:25:23.940 --> 04:25:27.220 attention to the top floor and rebellion will need to wrestle 04:25:27.220 --> 04:25:29.900 it away. Throughout the course of this series, but they're 04:25:29.900 --> 04:25:32.140 going to be terrific at trying first blood enterprise only 04:25:32.140 --> 04:25:34.620 being able to the first kill three times on both maps. 04:25:34.660 --> 04:25:37.020 Yes, likely to be keeps our back and the first one to get into 04:25:37.020 --> 04:25:40.060 gunfire for EP in this round Parker. It's that top kind of 04:25:40.060 --> 04:25:45.560 The lobby stairs position is currently played by Bappin, which is often so powerful for the defenders to control. 04:25:45.560 --> 04:25:49.560 It doesn't actually have a lot of utile. Often you'll see a clash played here, sometimes a deployable shield, 04:25:49.560 --> 04:25:54.560 but really just the Suria gate being played, and of course the long-range DMR doesn't get droned out, 04:25:54.560 --> 04:25:58.060 but we'll shoot it before he gets the opportunity, so they know that somebody is playing in that spot. 04:25:58.060 --> 04:26:03.060 Now, he's got Cairo to support him down below, and again, Jigsaw over on the other side of top floor to hold things down. 04:26:03.060 --> 04:26:11.060 Waiting for more drone work to be done. You can see the intel being gathered by Rebellion Enterprise just sitting back cooling their heels right now. 04:26:11.060 --> 04:26:19.060 There go the logic bombs and looking for a vault in, but the barbed wire might give them some pause here as there's an explosion upstairs, all this utility being used to good effect. 04:26:19.060 --> 04:26:25.060 Rexon had a terrific first map, but again, they swap these roles around in the way that they play. 04:26:25.060 --> 04:26:30.980 has been involved in way more action than Rexon on this map up to this point. When you have the 04:26:30.980 --> 04:26:36.820 versatility that the rebellion has, it's easy for you to be able to jostle that around. Cairo is 04:26:36.820 --> 04:26:41.780 not aware of Ambi's position and Ambi saw on his radar that there was another really close by, 04:26:41.780 --> 04:26:46.020 so if Enterprise are not able to deal with this, Ambi can continue to do some serious damage. 04:26:46.900 --> 04:26:50.420 Canadian not beating the allegations on that one. There's absolutely nothing I can say about that. 04:26:50.420 --> 04:26:55.780 Ambi dies to two haunts, they've regained some of the momentum inside the bomb site for Enterprise, 04:26:55.780 --> 04:26:58.580 drawing even with just under a minute left in the round. 04:26:58.580 --> 04:27:02.740 It's almost 30, cut him some slack. We'll get back on the drones now in the 4v4 and hopefully try 04:27:02.740 --> 04:27:07.220 to get some info for his fraggers to get these kills. They've got lobby control under their grasp, 04:27:07.220 --> 04:27:11.140 but of course the top floor has been conceded as well as Jigsaw fell off that not long ago. 04:27:11.140 --> 04:27:15.460 So 4v4, the execute that hits the freezer hatch gets opened up here by surf, 04:27:15.460 --> 04:27:18.500 and these angles will start to get even tougher for Enterprise. 04:27:18.500 --> 04:27:23.860 All of this utility by rebellion has found a place on this map very high value. You know, 04:27:23.860 --> 04:27:29.060 Canadian likes his utility based systems. Enterprise hard to tell what their utility is 04:27:29.060 --> 04:27:33.860 doing right now because Shopify have been in pursuit of this for so long. Rexxon probably 04:27:33.860 --> 04:27:38.420 shouldn't have won that engagement, but he does anyway. Back to a 3v3 we go, but dying moments 04:27:38.420 --> 04:27:43.860 of the round. Nesology in front of our very eyes. Tuhan clearing out the server all on his lonesome 04:27:43.860 --> 04:27:47.640 Jigsaw hoping for an opening. He will find it but lose the duel. 04:27:47.640 --> 04:27:50.920 Bredno and Touhan last alive. There's Bredno to the rescue. 04:27:50.920 --> 04:27:56.260 Serpho get it done. A 4k from Touhan and a huge round as Enterprise ties things up. 04:27:56.260 --> 04:28:00.660 Touhan, just such strong anchor play Parker. They can't seem to beat him in these gunfights 04:28:00.660 --> 04:28:04.300 and that's so important when this is a little bit of a chaotic final push 04:28:04.300 --> 04:28:07.300 coming out from shop of fire rebellion. They got the top floor under their control. 04:28:07.300 --> 04:28:10.540 They even stopped the flank. It really wasn't the early game that was the issue. 04:28:10.540 --> 04:28:13.060 It was getting that execute in from bottom Lobby 04:28:13.380 --> 04:28:15.940 Canadian tried to get in maybe try to get some kind of a plant going 04:28:16.300 --> 04:28:20.380 Eventually sport had to recover the kit and go for it himself. I thought sport played that really well 04:28:20.380 --> 04:28:24.620 But in the end you can only do so much when the trades are coming out from enterprise 04:28:24.620 --> 04:28:29.880 It was really nice defense coming out from the guys on EP they tied this game to to a piece 04:28:29.880 --> 04:28:35.940 I hate to keep saying it because nobody likes a broken record. You're a holy intact record 04:28:35.940 --> 04:28:39.900 but guess what? Mid to late round for Enterprise. Oh, so good. 04:28:40.140 --> 04:28:42.040 And it's hard for people to gauge. 04:28:42.040 --> 04:28:45.180 Is this because maybe rebellion fall apart in the mid round? 04:28:45.680 --> 04:28:47.380 I don't think that's the case at all. 04:28:47.380 --> 04:28:50.780 We complimented rebellion for how they were using their gadgetry. 04:28:50.920 --> 04:28:52.880 But what did Enterprise do? 04:28:52.880 --> 04:28:56.280 All of that ceiling above their heads taken out by the Ram, boogie drones. 04:28:56.280 --> 04:28:58.500 Guess what? They repositioned and they hold new angles. 04:28:58.660 --> 04:28:59.920 Enterprise respond to that. 04:28:59.920 --> 04:29:04.400 They'd set up Valkyrie into positions where rebellion only found them towards the end. 04:29:04.400 --> 04:29:09.620 Yeah, sure, sir, found one early on, but some of the intel really important for the mid-round. 04:29:09.620 --> 04:29:16.380 Enterprise's big struggle is matching up against the fragging power in the first bit of action. 04:29:16.380 --> 04:29:16.880 Yeah. 04:29:16.880 --> 04:29:21.340 If they can get past that, and again, of all of the rounds completed, Jesse, 04:29:21.340 --> 04:29:24.080 only three first bloods for Enterprise, if they can get past that, 04:29:24.080 --> 04:29:27.800 who knows what would have happened on map one, and who knows what would be happening here on map two? 04:29:27.800 --> 04:29:29.640 And again, I'll say it again, Parker. 04:29:29.640 --> 04:29:33.600 The reason why this early game is so tough for EP is all of the information 04:29:33.600 --> 04:29:35.320 that Shopify rebellion have. 04:29:35.320 --> 04:29:36.480 Even in that moment, right? 04:29:36.480 --> 04:29:38.120 Like, Two Han was inside of cafeteria. 04:29:38.120 --> 04:29:40.360 He was caught on that scan from Snake. 04:29:40.360 --> 04:29:41.880 If Canadian doesn't whip those shots, 04:29:41.880 --> 04:29:44.160 then he dies, and that's probably another SR around. 04:29:44.160 --> 04:29:46.800 So it really has been difficulties 04:29:46.800 --> 04:29:48.680 countering these information operators. 04:29:48.680 --> 04:29:50.720 Andy, Spoight, and Surf on the Snake, 04:29:50.720 --> 04:29:53.480 Deimos, Dokobe is such a devastating combination, 04:29:53.480 --> 04:29:55.240 and they will get to come through once again. 04:29:55.240 --> 04:29:57.520 It is a bit of a roam game, frankly, 04:29:57.520 --> 04:29:59.300 down here on the bottom floor at bombsite. 04:29:59.300 --> 04:30:01.920 Everybody on this mid floor, with the exception of Cairo. 04:30:01.920 --> 04:30:08.320 Topla's clear, Ambie can confirm that with his scanner, but there's players on cargo stairs, players vending stairs, there's going to be a player in storage. 04:30:08.320 --> 04:30:10.520 There are so many other angles you've got to worry about. 04:30:10.520 --> 04:30:12.220 Bap, and here's the final in cafeteria. 04:30:12.820 --> 04:30:17.620 If these players are isolated on the defense, it should be free pickings for SR on these intel ops. 04:30:17.620 --> 04:30:19.720 Look, Ambie, do you know there's a kitchen on this map? 04:30:20.020 --> 04:30:20.520 Really? 04:30:20.520 --> 04:30:21.220 Yeah, there is. 04:30:21.220 --> 04:30:21.720 Oh! 04:30:21.720 --> 04:30:22.320 It's quite nice. 04:30:22.320 --> 04:30:22.820 It's quite nice. 04:30:22.820 --> 04:30:24.020 Lots of good utility there. 04:30:24.220 --> 04:30:29.920 Just as Ambie doesn't really need his utility, he will once again rock that solid snake, holding Diffuse Kit, finds a way in, 04:30:29.920 --> 04:30:32.340 They're refrain as old as time. 04:30:32.340 --> 04:30:35.700 Enterprise suffering through that first pick, but here's Tuhan to the rescue. 04:30:35.700 --> 04:30:40.940 Brenda, Bapin, all of these guys so good at belated trades to keep these numbers close. 04:30:40.940 --> 04:30:44.380 And frankly, Ambi has been the difference maker, walking and getting the kill, 04:30:44.380 --> 04:30:46.380 but then immediately gets shut down. 04:30:46.380 --> 04:30:51.720 That gives Enterprise an opening as Tuhan is on a heater, finding his second on the Rexon. 04:30:51.720 --> 04:30:54.440 He'll lose some of the protection, finished off by Cerf. 04:30:54.440 --> 04:30:59.060 Rebellion, trying to keep as close as possible to Enterprise here. 04:30:59.060 --> 04:31:01.260 and still lots of tools to be used. 04:31:01.260 --> 04:31:05.180 LogiBombs all gone, last death mark to go out. 04:31:05.180 --> 04:31:07.580 Rebellion are about to be flying blind in this final minute. 04:31:07.580 --> 04:31:09.620 Yeah, but still the roamers have fallen off, 04:31:09.620 --> 04:31:10.940 so it's not the end of the world, Parker. 04:31:10.940 --> 04:31:12.300 Even if they don't have full information, 04:31:12.300 --> 04:31:14.060 this top floor is going to be clear. 04:31:14.060 --> 04:31:16.780 Tujan has kept Enterprise alive in this game. 04:31:16.780 --> 04:31:18.620 They're feeling confident with their current position. 04:31:18.620 --> 04:31:20.380 Now you can start to work at the bird a little bit. 04:31:20.380 --> 04:31:22.340 You did, you lost Ambien, 04:31:22.340 --> 04:31:24.580 Rexon is really not a lot of soft reach there, 04:31:24.580 --> 04:31:27.180 so you just bring a lot of soft reach in general. 04:31:27.180 --> 04:31:32.760 SR gonna have a bit of trouble working with these vert positions, but they still got a little bit time on their hands 35 seconds 04:31:32.760 --> 04:31:37.880 They're pressuring in towards XO. This has to be where the plant comes down. They've got to be sharp to find these players out 04:31:39.960 --> 04:31:44.400 There go the smokes to isolate Bapin trying to take advantage of that he's caught in between both of them 04:31:44.400 --> 04:31:46.400 This could be quite the surprise for rebellion 04:31:47.360 --> 04:31:53.200 Canadian with diffuse kids still searching for his first kill and you gotta worry about a nitro cell being tossed out a lot of teams 04:31:53.200 --> 04:31:55.320 Do you but guess what? We know there's no nitro left 04:31:55.320 --> 04:31:58.620 So they're predicting this as it will be a double swing. 04:31:58.620 --> 04:32:00.120 Nice coverage by Spoight. 04:32:00.120 --> 04:32:01.320 He's only good enough for one kill. 04:32:01.320 --> 04:32:05.120 Now it's Canadian to try to find his first frag with Surf with him. 04:32:05.120 --> 04:32:07.520 Not too far removed. 04:32:07.520 --> 04:32:11.120 Canadian can't hit Bapin, so now it's all up to Surf. 04:32:11.120 --> 04:32:13.520 Seize them by the defuse kit. 04:32:13.520 --> 04:32:15.620 Surf playing very patiently here, 04:32:15.620 --> 04:32:17.720 and he does not need to over commit to this. 04:32:17.720 --> 04:32:19.520 That is the goal, Jess. 04:32:19.520 --> 04:32:21.320 Out goes a flash, gas canister. 04:32:21.320 --> 04:32:22.720 We'll go to obscure as well. 04:32:22.720 --> 04:32:25.060 Well, through the floor, a nice pick! 04:32:25.060 --> 04:32:27.220 Bappin' with the clutch and Enterprise 04:32:27.220 --> 04:32:30.500 will find their first lead of this series. 04:32:30.500 --> 04:32:33.180 Massive frag, immediate response, 04:32:33.180 --> 04:32:34.340 straight on to Surf Parker. 04:32:34.340 --> 04:32:35.740 It felt like they had that round 04:32:35.740 --> 04:32:36.860 in the palm of their hands, 04:32:36.860 --> 04:32:38.820 but Bappin, what a shot, 04:32:38.820 --> 04:32:40.500 sticks to the table and then gives himself 04:32:40.500 --> 04:32:42.340 a well played right after in the chat. 04:32:42.340 --> 04:32:44.980 That is how it's done from the young entry fragger 04:32:44.980 --> 04:32:46.100 on Enterprise. 04:32:46.100 --> 04:32:48.460 Beautiful stuff coming down in the late round. 04:32:48.460 --> 04:32:50.900 But again, that's kind of how you have to play 04:32:50.900 --> 04:32:53.540 when you're up against that triple intel operator lineup 04:32:53.540 --> 04:32:54.900 coming through from SR. 04:32:54.900 --> 04:32:56.200 They still went for the roam. 04:32:56.200 --> 04:32:58.140 They still tried to commit to those early fights, 04:32:58.140 --> 04:32:59.660 but they just had the frag back. 04:32:59.660 --> 04:33:00.940 They kept things even. 04:33:00.940 --> 04:33:02.700 And then once you got to that execute, 04:33:02.700 --> 04:33:03.540 you set up Parker. 04:33:03.540 --> 04:33:04.620 The intel had run out. 04:33:04.620 --> 04:33:06.340 The utility really wasn't there from SR. 04:33:06.340 --> 04:33:07.580 They had a couple of smokes, 04:33:07.580 --> 04:33:09.060 which allowed them to go for that plant. 04:33:09.060 --> 04:33:10.780 I actually think Cairo could have denied the plant. 04:33:10.780 --> 04:33:12.660 He had two toxic babes playing inside a site. 04:33:12.660 --> 04:33:14.660 There was a world where that doesn't even go down. 04:33:14.660 --> 04:33:15.740 But one way or another, 04:33:15.740 --> 04:33:17.300 they get that a fuse kit on the ground. 04:33:17.300 --> 04:33:19.180 And frankly, in that position, 04:33:19.180 --> 04:33:20.300 you got a favor, Serif. 04:33:20.300 --> 04:33:21.580 I don't think he did anything wrong. 04:33:21.580 --> 04:33:22.820 He played that as perfect as he could, 04:33:22.820 --> 04:33:24.700 but sometimes young gunners, 04:33:24.700 --> 04:33:26.820 they hit shots that you just can't even imagine. 04:33:26.820 --> 04:33:27.820 We talk about it with Andy. 04:33:27.820 --> 04:33:28.820 We talk about it with Scoit, 04:33:28.820 --> 04:33:30.780 but don't count out Bapin, 04:33:30.780 --> 04:33:33.820 the young Australian who has been making a name for himself 04:33:33.820 --> 04:33:34.820 for the last couple of years. 04:33:34.820 --> 04:33:37.180 It's a brilliant one on that round. 04:33:37.180 --> 04:33:40.300 Yeah, it's been an incredible run here for Bapin and Tuhaan. 04:33:40.300 --> 04:33:41.700 They're not usually the guys 04:33:41.700 --> 04:33:44.660 that are towards the top of the scoreboard, 04:33:44.660 --> 04:33:46.860 but they are making their presence felt. 04:33:46.860 --> 04:33:50.900 And while again, they might not be your flashy fraggers, 04:33:50.900 --> 04:33:53.860 they are making up for Jigsaw and Brendo 04:33:53.860 --> 04:33:57.460 simply getting outmaneuvered by the rebellion. 04:33:57.460 --> 04:33:59.340 Jigsaw and Brendo are great players 04:33:59.340 --> 04:34:01.420 and they consistently rise to the occasion, 04:34:01.420 --> 04:34:03.100 but there is a time where your best gunners 04:34:03.100 --> 04:34:05.600 are simply not as good as your opponent's best gunners. 04:34:05.600 --> 04:34:07.340 So in that collision course, 04:34:07.340 --> 04:34:08.980 do you take ambi over Jigsaw? 04:34:08.980 --> 04:34:10.900 So far, you'd be crazy not to. 04:34:10.900 --> 04:34:12.940 That leaves it all in the support 04:34:12.940 --> 04:34:14.860 and those auxiliary players. 04:34:14.860 --> 04:34:21.360 And Tuhan and Bapin have been terrors that rebellion on cafe and now here on Nighthaven Labs. 04:34:21.360 --> 04:34:23.760 A lot of times just don't have an answer for it. 04:34:23.760 --> 04:34:28.060 Tuhan entered this game as the only player for enterprise without a positive KD. 04:34:28.060 --> 04:34:32.760 Every other player was positive. Tuhan enters this matchup 41 and 44. 04:34:32.760 --> 04:34:37.360 So minus three coming into this game. He will far surpass that of course in this game. 04:34:37.360 --> 04:34:39.360 Make up for it and go positive. But... 04:34:40.360 --> 04:34:42.860 To your number? He is plus one right now. 04:34:42.860 --> 04:34:44.460 Okay, so he's not made up for it? 04:34:44.460 --> 04:34:52.700 It's not quite but cafe was really bad for the kills department. Yeah, so at the present time across both maps to on his 14 and 13 04:34:52.900 --> 04:34:59.660 But that's the best on enterprise now again a lot of that really falls on to how detrimental cafe was it 04:35:00.140 --> 04:35:05.580 Enterprise almost that's their kill to other their round total. Yeah, and we've still got half the game to go 04:35:05.700 --> 04:35:08.960 So again passes the eye test and the numbers back it up 04:35:08.960 --> 04:35:15.560 And your brides are getting more comfortable and settling in more and this is also a map where maybe the rebellion are a bit over exposed 04:35:15.560 --> 04:35:20.160 Jesse yeah, perhaps I mean to home playing this kind of aggressive position with Brenda a bit on this 04:35:21.120 --> 04:35:26.060 Rafters position. It's gonna be jigsaw who opens things up there goes ambi the best young fragger on SR 04:35:26.060 --> 04:35:32.080 So he gets removed and it's a 5v4 lead for enterprise playing this top floor for the second time here on night heat and labs 04:35:32.400 --> 04:35:35.120 Usually the primary site they want it back in the rounds three 04:35:35.120 --> 04:35:38.780 But now in round six they get a second opportunity and it's looking just as good this time 04:35:38.960 --> 04:35:42.880 Yeah, I mean, Ambi usually gets a kill, dies immediately, that's been the way it goes. 04:35:42.880 --> 04:35:46.080 There's been a couple rounds where he's picked up a two-piece, as you can see from his score line, 04:35:46.080 --> 04:35:47.760 he's not just getting traded out. 04:35:47.760 --> 04:35:52.320 And Ambi will shoulder some more of the team's responsibilities when he goes on to defense. 04:35:52.320 --> 04:35:56.880 Down goes Brendo, and Canadian knows there's somebody nearby because the tripwire keeps disappearing, 04:35:56.880 --> 04:36:01.200 so Spoy will walk up. The attention turns towards Canadian, a great distraction. 04:36:01.200 --> 04:36:04.080 That's why we say sometimes Canadian doesn't need to get that kill. 04:36:04.720 --> 04:36:07.040 We'll ignore some of the whips earlier in the first half, 04:36:07.040 --> 04:36:12.740 But Canadian a huge part of why that worked now. I'll get diffuse kid down with spoilt watching over him 04:36:13.340 --> 04:36:20.980 It's a 3v3 with Canadian immobilized for the time being but will very quickly become a 4v3 is now Canadian is back up with that shield in hand 04:36:21.180 --> 04:36:27.940 Down goes surf to Cairo damage being done to jigsaw and all out brawl inside the site as they marched their way towards the Monty 04:36:28.300 --> 04:36:33.180 Spoilt out dual Canadian finally on the board and jigsaw will ascend fish stairs 04:36:33.180 --> 04:36:40.620 the winners. Freeze them out of a possible retreat. Serve not able to be recovered yet. 04:36:40.620 --> 04:36:45.420 Spindrexon will get him right back up and now it's a 3v1. The mountain will be staring 04:36:45.420 --> 04:36:50.300 you down and I mean unless Jigsaw can move mountains, this one's going SR. Not exactly 04:36:50.300 --> 04:36:55.340 the result they wanted. A 3-3 first half for SR on their own map but they will take that 04:36:55.340 --> 04:37:00.860 enterprise. Unable to amass a lead on the favorable side of labs. 04:37:00.860 --> 04:37:01.860 The winner. 04:37:01.860 --> 04:37:03.860 Of course it's not. 04:37:03.860 --> 04:37:04.860 It shouldn't. 04:37:04.860 --> 04:37:05.860 That is hooked up. 04:37:05.860 --> 04:37:06.860 Alright guys. 04:37:06.860 --> 04:37:08.860 Let's just reset okay. 04:37:08.860 --> 04:37:10.860 All we're doing now is fucking attacking. 04:37:10.860 --> 04:37:11.860 Okay. 04:37:11.860 --> 04:37:13.860 What are we banding Andres? 04:37:13.860 --> 04:37:14.860 It's true. 04:37:14.860 --> 04:37:15.860 Okay, guys. 04:37:15.860 --> 04:37:17.860 They're going to be spamming the class. 04:37:17.860 --> 04:37:20.860 The class is going to be super aggressive on IT. 04:37:20.860 --> 04:37:23.860 On top floor we can either do our CS if they're playing the class. 04:37:23.860 --> 04:37:25.860 They will most likely ban Nomad. 04:37:25.860 --> 04:37:26.860 Okay. 04:37:26.860 --> 04:37:28.860 And we need to make sure we're either focusing the class together. 04:37:28.860 --> 04:37:32.540 We could even go below demo secure the class if she gets aggressive in it 04:37:32.540 --> 04:37:36.580 Yeah, but let's make sure we're either doing the CS or in the class. Okay, the top floor 04:37:37.180 --> 04:37:41.100 Miro window on the it breach. Let's just remember that. Okay, how bridge players? 04:37:41.820 --> 04:37:47.480 And we might need a Zofia and play this year straight. Okay, okay on control 04:37:48.740 --> 04:37:54.380 Control weibo is so free. Okay, if we do it fast together, it's really free. Okay, but Jackson 04:37:54.380 --> 04:37:58.180 I want you to go up from basement if we do do it. Okay, they have no see-through from below 04:37:58.180 --> 04:37:59.620 They just have an Ella playing side. 04:37:59.620 --> 04:38:02.740 Okay, so we get, we made the utila, we jump in, okay? 04:38:02.740 --> 04:38:06.220 On kitchen, let's do our clear, let's not do the rush. 04:38:06.220 --> 04:38:09.580 Okay, we've practiced the clear recently as well. 04:38:09.580 --> 04:38:11.460 Okay, docker, docker piece. 04:38:11.460 --> 04:38:13.060 They were trying to send a blitz in 04:38:13.060 --> 04:38:16.740 through the garage wall into storage with docker B, 04:38:16.740 --> 04:38:19.260 like lurking the mudside, basically holding rafter 04:38:19.260 --> 04:38:21.420 and thermite waiting on the window to jump. 04:38:21.420 --> 04:38:23.700 Sophia was just holding the IT breach. 04:38:23.700 --> 04:38:25.980 Just, they were not able to get in the garage wall, 04:38:25.980 --> 04:38:27.460 so they rotated off 04:38:27.460 --> 04:38:29.420 And they just basically tried to flip it to top, 04:38:29.420 --> 04:38:32.020 and they ended up bringing the bomb like cargo side, 04:38:32.020 --> 04:38:34.300 with the Doku be walking fish for that. 04:38:34.300 --> 04:38:38.460 The second time, then for basement, okay? 04:38:38.460 --> 04:38:40.980 The first basement, they sent a blitz to clear above. 04:38:40.980 --> 04:38:43.980 Doku's cargo window, snake was 90. 04:38:43.980 --> 04:38:47.140 Buck went through fish like garage side, 04:38:47.140 --> 04:38:47.980 and there might con. 04:38:47.980 --> 04:38:49.580 Basically, they just tried to clear. 04:38:49.580 --> 04:38:50.420 The second attack, 04:38:50.420 --> 04:38:52.180 they just tried to straight up wall rush, 04:38:52.180 --> 04:38:54.900 where they had glass stature and blitz, 04:38:54.900 --> 04:39:00.660 And Ying went to storage window to like Ying the Vert, and then the other, the bono was like mud. 04:39:00.660 --> 04:39:01.160 Go ahead. 04:39:01.160 --> 04:39:01.660 They did the condom. 04:39:04.840 --> 04:39:10.860 Clearly anticipating a Nomad ban on the side of Enterprise, thinking there would be a lot of clash play from SR, 04:39:10.860 --> 04:39:15.100 but I guess not wanting to ban it out, thinking it's something they can counter and play around. 04:39:15.100 --> 04:39:21.820 It is Kapital Kaid instead. Kapital is certainly a strong ban for the clash play, if that's the way you want to run it. 04:39:21.820 --> 04:39:26.240 You can't, again, really afford a clash band with how many other good operators there are. 04:39:26.240 --> 04:39:30.040 Bandit Kaid likely removed, and here it is, exactly predicted by Mag. 04:39:30.040 --> 04:39:31.960 So really good research coming into this. 04:39:31.960 --> 04:39:33.740 The Nomad typically played by Brenda. 04:39:33.740 --> 04:39:36.620 He'll have to swap over to a different operator here for this top floor 04:39:36.620 --> 04:39:39.580 and expect those clash plays to come out from Canadian. 04:39:39.580 --> 04:39:40.780 Go back to this fifth round. 04:39:40.780 --> 04:39:42.020 You talk about Canadian on a shield. 04:39:42.020 --> 04:39:44.420 I think this was his best round of the game so far, Parker. 04:39:44.420 --> 04:39:49.100 He just makes so much distraction for his teammates over towards top fish, as you said. 04:39:49.100 --> 04:39:53.020 And it really just does kind of come down to the positioning inside of Enterprise 2. 04:39:53.020 --> 04:39:55.820 They were a little bit disconnected, caught with their pants down a bit, 04:39:55.820 --> 04:39:58.300 with not enough players over on that west side. 04:39:58.300 --> 04:40:00.700 And because of it, they lose that sixth round and we're tied. 04:40:02.460 --> 04:40:05.260 No closer to a conclusion than when we started. 04:40:05.260 --> 04:40:09.660 A reminder, the winner of this series goes on to the main stage, 04:40:09.660 --> 04:40:13.020 Shopify Rebellion, with all the money, all the weight, and all the expectations 04:40:13.020 --> 04:40:15.580 by them have actually never played in front of a crowd. 04:40:15.580 --> 04:40:17.020 So they are very much hoping to do that. 04:40:17.020 --> 04:40:24.500 No Australian team has played in front of a crowd in six years when it was that old roster with mag on it now the coach of 04:40:24.740 --> 04:40:29.080 Enterprise neither of these teams will go home the loser will be competing tomorrow 04:40:29.080 --> 04:40:34.800 But we can't say the same for the B stream a reminder that there is a second stream running right now 04:40:34.980 --> 04:40:40.900 Team Falcons are playing ninjas in pajamas and over on the B stream the losers 04:40:41.420 --> 04:40:42.780 Go home 04:40:42.780 --> 04:40:53.780 So, if Falcons lose, that's it. If Ninjas and Pajamas lose, spoiler alert, Loos was eliminated in their matchup earlier today against Weibo Gaming. 04:40:53.780 --> 04:41:02.780 If Nip, who are currently in an 0-1 deficit, loses, three of the four Brazilian teams will go out and not make main stage, 04:41:02.780 --> 04:41:09.780 which is quite a juxtaposition to FaZe Clan, who were one of two teams to win 3-0. 04:41:09.780 --> 04:41:14.780 So, while I'm considered the most competitive region, Brazil having some struggles here in North America. 04:41:14.780 --> 04:41:22.780 No guarantee that Nip will ultimately lose, but have the feel for Brazilian fans if they only have one team representing them on the main stage. 04:41:22.780 --> 04:41:25.780 And so, we're playing the same lineup they showed earlier in this tournament versus EDG. 04:41:25.780 --> 04:41:29.780 This is going to be this clash focus strategy that Enterprise were expecting. 04:41:29.780 --> 04:41:32.780 They've got the Zofia, which can be a good clash counter at times. 04:41:32.780 --> 04:41:34.780 It's not the easiest software to clear up the clash with. 04:41:34.780 --> 04:41:38.700 We need a little bit of team coordination to be able to capitalize on the shield break, 04:41:38.700 --> 04:41:42.980 but it's absolutely doable with those concussion grenades that you can throw the way of Clash. 04:41:42.980 --> 04:41:46.620 Where's this push going to come from, EP? It looks like it's going to be connector-sided focus. 04:41:46.620 --> 04:41:50.780 That's where BAP is currently situated. Of course, IT is always a big focus as well. 04:41:50.780 --> 04:41:55.580 2HUN got the wall open with really no issues, despite the fact that this mirror window was placed here 04:41:55.580 --> 04:41:59.460 and there were impacts held by Canadian. He's not able to stop the wall from opening up, 04:41:59.460 --> 04:42:02.380 so this is going to be a nice little angle they have straight in towards IT. 04:42:02.380 --> 04:42:04.620 and it makes spoits life just a little bit more awkward. 04:42:04.620 --> 04:42:06.060 He's sitting at the top of rafters 04:42:06.060 --> 04:42:07.340 and Cairo is down here at the bottom 04:42:07.340 --> 04:42:09.300 trying to force him out of the position. 04:42:09.300 --> 04:42:11.260 He's got the DMR, clear of his keep of barricades, 04:42:11.260 --> 04:42:13.420 but it's a lot of work to do just to find spoits 04:42:13.420 --> 04:42:14.580 out of this extended position. 04:42:14.580 --> 04:42:17.300 You talked about Capitao being banned for the clash, 04:42:17.300 --> 04:42:20.540 but Capitao also is a hard counter for the spot on rafters. 04:42:20.540 --> 04:42:22.380 So it helps Canadian in this position, 04:42:22.380 --> 04:42:24.980 but it also helps spoits stay in that spot. 04:42:24.980 --> 04:42:26.220 If you pair it with a Lamai 04:42:26.220 --> 04:42:27.980 or even dare say somebody get crazy enough 04:42:27.980 --> 04:42:29.060 to bring a Jaeger, 04:42:29.060 --> 04:42:30.620 it's really tough for you to deal 04:42:30.620 --> 04:42:32.220 with this rafter's position. 04:42:32.220 --> 04:42:36.080 An Enterprise are getting kind of bogged down here, Jesse. This is a very slow take. 04:42:36.080 --> 04:42:38.800 We have less than a minute in the round of all 10. 04:42:38.800 --> 04:42:41.240 Spoint is ready for that. Down goes Cairo expecting another. 04:42:41.240 --> 04:42:45.580 They're all walking into Rebellion's bullets. Canadian dies to two haunts, so they get the clash. 04:42:46.500 --> 04:42:51.020 But that's all they've got so far. Rebellion in control with an advantage of one. 04:42:53.760 --> 04:43:00.140 They're in IT. Close it up, and Spoint's tucked in! The Swede! Oh, how sweet it is! 04:43:00.140 --> 04:43:11.140 Bappet now in a 1v4, rebellion wanting to take the lead, and Ambi will give it to them, a terrific defense to start off the second half. 04:43:11.140 --> 04:43:19.140 Nice little triple from the Azalini position, and again, you're right. Having a Nomad, having a Capitile would have been great to clear that out, but instead, what did they do? 04:43:19.140 --> 04:43:23.140 They just tried to jump in the window, Parker. You saw it from Cairo, just trying to catch Spoiler Off Guard. 04:43:23.140 --> 04:43:27.140 I don't hate the attempt there, but it needed to be a little bit better, a little bit more coordinated. 04:43:27.140 --> 04:43:33.220 There had to be somebody else also pressuring at the same time whether walking in that top rafter's door whether it was pressuring in from 04:43:33.220 --> 04:43:38.320 It was just a bit solo on the side of enterprise and they weren't able to clear out those power positions 04:43:38.340 --> 04:43:42.500 It is top floor of night Haven labs. You're not expecting to win that site is attacking team 04:43:42.500 --> 04:43:49.780 It's one to forget but huge credit over towards boy hits double digits in this game and continues to lead the Salt Lake City 04:43:49.780 --> 04:43:53.540 Major in overall frags for the event and yet Jesse 04:43:53.540 --> 04:44:00.420 And yes, Rexon has the most kills deceptively in the series. 04:44:00.420 --> 04:44:02.300 We haven't really been saying his name that much, have we? 04:44:02.300 --> 04:44:06.500 Now, Spoit obviously a highlight real player tucked into the corner. 04:44:06.500 --> 04:44:09.980 That little rat spot goes undroned, but I mean, at that point in time, you don't have 04:44:09.980 --> 04:44:11.660 enough drones, you don't have enough time. 04:44:11.660 --> 04:44:12.660 He's going to make you pay. 04:44:12.660 --> 04:44:19.220 Rexon right now is sitting at a very pretty 19 kills, and I will issue a correction. 04:44:19.220 --> 04:44:22.740 Now that the kills have finally come in, Spoit has left over him. 04:44:22.740 --> 04:44:26.680 Now it's 20 kills, so 10 kills on both maps. 04:44:26.680 --> 04:44:30.720 Spoight with the highest EPS, everybody on the rebellion, 04:44:30.720 --> 04:44:34.300 above Enterprise except for Canadian, 04:44:34.300 --> 04:44:36.500 which again is pretty much the case. 04:44:36.500 --> 04:44:39.780 So your fraggers are fragging, what more can you want? 04:44:39.780 --> 04:44:41.220 Spoight, the first player in Salt Lake City 04:44:41.220 --> 04:44:43.140 to break 100 kills as well. 04:44:43.140 --> 04:44:44.980 Did it earlier in this map when he hit 04:44:44.980 --> 04:44:47.020 his second frag of Nighthaven lap, 04:44:47.020 --> 04:44:49.980 he sets it 108, now total throughout the tournament. 04:44:49.980 --> 04:44:51.420 You mentioned it, he's played a lot of rounds, 04:44:51.420 --> 04:44:53.220 but even still compared to his teammates, 04:44:53.220 --> 04:44:55.860 he is far and away the highest fragger on SR. 04:44:55.860 --> 04:44:57.820 So you have to give credit where it's due. 04:44:57.820 --> 04:45:00.020 Spoight has been fantastic this tournament. 04:45:00.020 --> 04:45:02.060 He's really been finding his old form again. 04:45:02.060 --> 04:45:04.180 And it's a big reason why Shopify rebellion 04:45:04.180 --> 04:45:06.060 are just three rounds away from main stage. 04:45:06.060 --> 04:45:07.940 Hard to say if he did it himself or again, 04:45:07.940 --> 04:45:09.340 it's because of these role changes 04:45:09.340 --> 04:45:10.960 and putting them on more forward roles. 04:45:10.960 --> 04:45:15.140 But I mean, this is among the best SR has looked 04:45:15.140 --> 04:45:19.460 in a long time and crazy that suddenly Spoight 04:45:19.460 --> 04:45:22.740 able to do more than just sit and be a training dummy, 04:45:22.740 --> 04:45:24.100 is actually helping this team. 04:45:24.100 --> 04:45:27.260 So a good call either from Spoit or from the rest of the team, 04:45:27.260 --> 04:45:29.140 whether it be Canadian or the coaching staff, 04:45:29.140 --> 04:45:30.700 on the rebellion to make this call. 04:45:30.700 --> 04:45:34.300 But they look like a far more well-rounded squad 04:45:34.300 --> 04:45:35.460 with him in this position. 04:45:35.460 --> 04:45:38.180 And obviously, they're three rounds away 04:45:38.180 --> 04:45:41.500 from their first birth on a stage in front of a crowd. 04:45:41.500 --> 04:45:45.340 Obviously, things working out with that change. 04:45:45.340 --> 04:45:46.660 Pressure in towards Cairo. 04:45:46.660 --> 04:45:48.340 He's trying to find space on the salt floor. 04:45:48.340 --> 04:45:54.780 The both whiz both ways and here comes the clash Canadian makes the rotate and now it's just devastating to play on this black beer position 04:45:54.780 --> 04:45:56.280 Hold on to the gun one more 04:45:56.280 --> 04:46:03.020 Brendo a mighty distraction say goodbye to spoilt rex incredibly with the kill and there's the sewing 04:46:03.540 --> 04:46:08.340 They're all playing together arm and arm and arm rebellion just too many to overcome 04:46:08.620 --> 04:46:11.540 Down goes ambia. There's another on fish scares cases there 04:46:11.540 --> 04:46:15.540 Bappin is in desperate need of help as he's got the shotgun and the clash 04:46:15.540 --> 04:46:19.540 BABBIT of course kills Canadian because why not? 04:46:21.540 --> 04:46:28.540 Canadian was in the position to potentially go for a fight there and ultimately came up empty-handed, but who's to say? Who's to say? 04:46:28.540 --> 04:46:33.540 Even when Canadian's getting his head blown off, he's enabling kills for his team. 04:46:33.540 --> 04:46:36.540 Yeah, I mean there were two kills that just happened there because of him. 04:46:36.540 --> 04:46:41.580 I think Canadian would easily trade himself out for his teammates to thrive 04:46:41.580 --> 04:46:45.620 Start with the kill and another round for rebellion as they are 04:46:46.740 --> 04:46:55.740 Demolishing enterprise in this best of three looking more like a best of two as we are six minutes away from Shopify rebellion being the fourth team 04:46:56.060 --> 04:46:59.180 To make it to main stage. It's a team play for me Parker 04:46:59.180 --> 04:47:04.260 It's not just that they're winning individual gunfights, but it really comes down to have the trade game from SR 04:47:04.260 --> 04:47:06.180 You saw it towards the top of fish stairs there 04:47:06.180 --> 04:47:11.160 I mean really yes, Canadian is being a distraction on that clash is a huge menace, but it's not just Canadian 04:47:11.160 --> 04:47:13.760 There's players pushing into the top floor which are getting those frags 04:47:13.760 --> 04:47:19.640 There was one that came up from the bottom of fish stairs as well every angle that enterprise could have maybe worried about 04:47:19.640 --> 04:47:22.540 They had to worry about because there was somebody else on SR 04:47:22.660 --> 04:47:26.720 Getting aggressive and taking that fight a lot of worse teams a lot of younger teams 04:47:26.720 --> 04:47:31.880 Who have maybe not had the experience that SR have had will sit in a spot on defense and say this is my spot 04:47:31.880 --> 04:47:35.640 I'm trying to defend this and I'm gonna do my best to make sure nobody takes his control away from me 04:47:35.640 --> 04:47:37.640 That's fine, you know, that's not bad. 04:47:37.640 --> 04:47:42.640 But the way SR have been playing on these defenses is it's really reactive to where Enterprise want to push. 04:47:42.640 --> 04:47:47.640 They initially had a lot of bodies over towards Raptors, over towards IT, over towards Electrical. 04:47:47.640 --> 04:47:51.640 But once they realized the pressure was coming fish side, everybody spointed in that direction. 04:47:51.640 --> 04:47:54.640 And they said, we've got to work with our captain, Canadian. 04:47:54.640 --> 04:47:57.640 We've got to be able to collectively go for these frags and fight as a team. 04:47:57.640 --> 04:48:03.640 But even when we lose a couple fights, even when one of our guys like Canadian gets fried on the first angle, 04:48:03.640 --> 04:48:07.640 or anyone else is there to back them up and to get that kill in response. 04:48:07.640 --> 04:48:10.640 Spoyd, another good example, got kind of fried early in that round, 04:48:10.640 --> 04:48:12.640 but it didn't matter because Spoyd is playing with his teammates 04:48:12.640 --> 04:48:15.640 and other players were able to get the refrag. 04:48:15.640 --> 04:48:20.640 I haven't really been seeing a lot of Scopos so far, Jesse, by my count. 04:48:20.640 --> 04:48:24.640 This is only the 15th round that this operator has been brought out on. 04:48:24.640 --> 04:48:27.640 Very site-dependent and very map-dependent. 04:48:27.640 --> 04:48:31.640 Typically played on the big maps where you can stash one of your two robots 04:48:31.640 --> 04:48:34.540 in a position where they can give you information. 04:48:34.540 --> 04:48:37.200 A big map that we see it on quite often. 04:48:37.200 --> 04:48:39.640 Clubhouse, another good map is Lair. 04:48:39.640 --> 04:48:40.640 What do they have in common? 04:48:40.640 --> 04:48:41.940 They are huge. 04:48:41.940 --> 04:48:44.440 So because of that, Night Even Labs 04:48:44.440 --> 04:48:46.240 is also deceptively large. 04:48:46.240 --> 04:48:48.140 You tuck one of those robots in the basement, 04:48:48.140 --> 04:48:50.040 keep another close to the bomb site. 04:48:50.040 --> 04:48:51.540 You don't have somebody on Flank Watch. 04:48:51.540 --> 04:48:54.140 They can easily get you. 04:48:54.140 --> 04:48:55.240 Just like they got Rexon. 04:48:55.240 --> 04:48:56.340 Brenda walks right in. 04:48:56.340 --> 04:48:58.340 Enterprise struggling to get on the board first. 04:48:58.340 --> 04:49:00.340 Not really much of a challenge here in round nine. 04:49:00.340 --> 04:49:03.980 Yeah, the top floor clear has gone very well for them. It was kind of a light hold from SR 04:49:03.980 --> 04:49:08.400 And you might be worried if you're an enterprise fan because this is just not a bomb site that gets played much in Australia 04:49:08.400 --> 04:49:12.600 I know EP played it earlier just today a couple minutes ago, but attacking 04:49:12.600 --> 04:49:15.080 They don't have a whole lot of history on this bomb site 04:49:15.080 --> 04:49:17.480 So SR choosing to come here a common site from them 04:49:17.480 --> 04:49:23.440 It will play Canadian just towards that bottom lobby and now spuit. He lost his his second body Parker 04:49:23.440 --> 04:49:27.080 He lost that second robot to rotate into but that doesn't mean he can't still flank 04:49:27.080 --> 04:49:33.280 There should be a drone watching for this but again when there's five players live sometimes it could be really tough to not catch this timing 04:49:33.280 --> 04:49:38.840 And again, it's a big map. If you are so focused on a quick execute and you don't have flank drones up 04:49:38.840 --> 04:49:41.640 And you look at the lineup from Enterprise none of them have any any claim 04:49:42.120 --> 04:49:46.940 There's no claymore nothing. They know where he is now. He got spotted inside of Electrical 04:49:47.640 --> 04:49:51.340 So the jig is up on spoy, but guess what? He can always rotate again 04:49:51.340 --> 04:49:54.960 He doesn't need to go for the backstab and maybe that's not going to be the plan here 04:49:54.960 --> 04:50:00.240 It's good when you are outnumbered, because you can get one or two, you're in a great spot, 04:50:00.240 --> 04:50:03.440 you've just swung the round back, but Enterprise are not going to let him do that. 04:50:04.160 --> 04:50:08.160 Canadian, somewhat by himself, of course, got players inside the site, they've got head holes 04:50:08.160 --> 04:50:12.160 here as well to try to play off this clash shield, and Canadian, just trusting the shield to watch 04:50:12.160 --> 04:50:15.920 his own back, he's steering front and center towards where these players might be jumping in. 04:50:15.920 --> 04:50:20.560 Here comes Cairo in the main lobby on a hard clean, and Canadian just sitting ready for the swing. 04:50:20.560 --> 04:50:24.080 And all he needs to do is just sit in light, they obscure behind with the F-knot, 04:50:24.080 --> 04:50:29.040 by the Fenrir of Surf, there's Canadian to pop up, the jig is up now, he's on a duel against Cairo, 04:50:29.040 --> 04:50:34.480 Canadian, oh my goodness, a blunder, he misses most of his shots, but he's far from the only 04:50:34.480 --> 04:50:40.400 problem, everybody crumbles on the side of the rebellion, and Enterprise have closed the gap 04:50:40.400 --> 04:50:45.120 to just a single round. Okay, I know it didn't work, but that was kind of a crazy strap from 04:50:45.120 --> 04:50:48.320 Canadian because he was prone there in that position, you might be thinking, okay, well, 04:50:48.320 --> 04:50:52.000 he's really not checking his back, like surely they could just walk on him and frag him, but 04:50:52.000 --> 04:50:55.160 Remember the bottom of the class shield is not actually see-through 04:50:55.160 --> 04:51:00.040 So he was kind of posting up as if he had left his shield there and rotated back in towards site 04:51:00.040 --> 04:51:01.520 I don't know how he would have got back there 04:51:01.520 --> 04:51:06.400 But it wasn't obvious his exact position and so he had a good opportunity to make something of it 04:51:06.400 --> 04:51:10.880 Unfortunately, just not quite there with the gunplay so it is enterprise who closed out that round 04:51:10.880 --> 04:51:14.320 But so some cool ideas coming out from the rebellion and that one 04:51:15.080 --> 04:51:18.600 Gets one for his troubles. I guess really the problem is the rest of team, right? 04:51:18.600 --> 04:51:22.320 They're kind of falling apart inside the site. It was an early death coming out there 04:51:22.320 --> 04:51:26.180 I believe from rex and to start that round and then spoi just unsuccessful with that flank 04:51:26.180 --> 04:51:32.380 It's so difficult when you're playing that scopus and you lose your shield one of the big reasons why that site so weak is because 04:51:32.380 --> 04:51:35.760 Flanking for the top floor is just so predictable one drone 04:51:35.760 --> 04:51:40.460 So I'm not sure it was all it took to stop that flank coming out from spoits huge credit over to enterprise 04:51:40.460 --> 04:51:44.720 So you will watch those drones expect the flank to come through it didn't get tripped up in the early game 04:51:44.720 --> 04:51:51.200 They didn't get tripped up by the aggressive mid game coming up from spoil either and eventually that site execute just came all together with what they needed 04:51:53.560 --> 04:51:56.420 Our good friend links just pinged to me and said that 04:51:56.960 --> 04:52:00.960 Spoilers only ever played scopos on that side pretty much exclusively 04:52:01.400 --> 04:52:07.640 And because of that enterprise surely must have read into it now when we did that middle of the match timeout Jesse 04:52:07.640 --> 04:52:11.360 We didn't get to hear everything mag said there was the other half when super was talking 04:52:11.360 --> 04:52:15.360 Maggot a great read on the clash, Superd a great read on them bringing a Doka beat. 04:52:15.360 --> 04:52:19.360 There's entirely a possibility that they talked about the Skopos as well. 04:52:19.360 --> 04:52:23.360 So they might have been prepared for that before even the round had loaded in. 04:52:23.360 --> 04:52:26.360 Yeah, definitely. I mean, they droned it early too, right? 04:52:26.360 --> 04:52:29.360 It was just sitting just at the top of the hallway outside of meeting, 04:52:29.360 --> 04:52:31.360 so they were very much aware that that could be a threat. 04:52:31.360 --> 04:52:34.360 But it's a good answer, and certainly Lynx is correct so far this season. 04:52:34.360 --> 04:52:36.360 It's the only operator sport he's ever played on that site, 04:52:36.360 --> 04:52:40.360 so that's a good stat coming through from our compadre on the casting desk. 04:52:40.360 --> 04:52:41.920 Thank you, Lynx. Thank you, Lynx. 04:52:41.920 --> 04:52:44.800 Even though Lynx is off today and there is no desk here. 04:52:45.400 --> 04:52:47.240 Well, sometimes you lie. 04:52:47.240 --> 04:52:48.240 Lynx? 04:52:49.240 --> 04:52:50.240 All the desk we need. 04:52:51.540 --> 04:52:54.340 Doing the work of two casters, isn't that right? 04:52:54.340 --> 04:52:58.240 I think, I think Fresh is on his way here as a content creator. 04:52:58.240 --> 04:53:01.740 You know, I'm assuming that Fox and Lax will be joining us at some point as well. 04:53:01.740 --> 04:53:03.920 But it's a good thing we've got Lynx here. 04:53:04.580 --> 04:53:07.920 Rebellion now, not wanting to relinquish control of their lead. 04:53:07.920 --> 04:53:15.320 We got to say it one thing that always seems to plague this rebellion team is the ability to close out matches 04:53:15.320 --> 04:53:18.440 It was not much of a problem back on cafe 04:53:19.040 --> 04:53:24.720 But I do worry a little bit that we might end up with a third map even with this score line being what it is 04:53:24.720 --> 04:53:28.760 I'm not worried until they lose this round Parker. They lose a tertiary site. It's night Haven lab 04:53:28.760 --> 04:53:32.400 You lost kitchen fine. This is the bomb site that should be a freebie 04:53:32.400 --> 04:53:35.640 This should be the one where you get yourselves up onto series points 04:53:35.640 --> 04:53:42.840 If this doesn't go their way, then the alarms start ringing, I would expect it's act time to come through from Super, but for now, this is all according to plan. 04:53:42.840 --> 04:53:48.040 Even throughout the rounds, they've given up very little space, midi control held by Enterprise, but that's totally fine. 04:53:48.040 --> 04:53:56.440 Canadian with that clash, still just playing inside a connector. He's got an important player behind him too, that's Rexon just inside of servers, can try to support the clash from behind the breach. 04:53:56.440 --> 04:54:00.940 When Canadian's elbow might be shot off his body, as look at all the damage that's being done. 04:54:00.940 --> 04:54:03.900 Canadian swings down, goes back, but he could have another as well. 04:54:03.900 --> 04:54:05.700 But he's funneling these kills on in. 04:54:05.700 --> 04:54:10.140 Suddenly the kill beat turns blue, and Enterprise have slaughtered Rebellion. 04:54:10.140 --> 04:54:13.100 Spoight will need to clutch. He won't get it done! 04:54:14.100 --> 04:54:16.980 Oh my goodness! Enterprise tie the game! 04:54:16.980 --> 04:54:20.060 Alright, now I'm worried. Now I'm starting to get concerned. 04:54:20.060 --> 04:54:24.620 I promise you I would be. And really, it just comes down to ignoring the clash, Parker. 04:54:24.620 --> 04:54:26.860 They decided we're not going to be able to get past this player. 04:54:26.860 --> 04:54:29.220 We don't have a nomad. We don't have a cap. It's out. We don't have an ace. 04:54:29.220 --> 04:54:34.900 That's fine. We're just gonna go in through Electrical. They had Cairo on the ying that was making so much good space 04:54:35.140 --> 04:54:38.420 to be able to jump in and take those fights over towards it 04:54:38.740 --> 04:54:46.260 Over towards Electrical and all the frags just went the way of enterprise jigsaw a massive double kill in the midst of that round 04:54:46.420 --> 04:54:50.100 Really started things off strong and then the flurry of kills coming right after 04:54:50.660 --> 04:54:52.980 It will be a tack timeout from enterprise 04:54:53.460 --> 04:54:56.740 After that round I thought for sure it would be an SR attack 04:54:56.740 --> 04:55:01.460 But instead it's EP finding that despite the fact that they just tied things up five to five 04:55:01.460 --> 04:55:03.980 There are things to discuss there are problems to fix 04:55:04.340 --> 04:55:07.700 They know how important it is to close out these next couple attacking rounds 04:55:07.700 --> 04:55:10.440 The bomb sites will begin to open up starting in this round 04:55:10.440 --> 04:55:14.980 They will all be available for SR to choose from so there's a lot to talk about if you're mag 04:55:15.460 --> 04:55:17.100 But the job is being done 04:55:17.100 --> 04:55:21.620 I think his time must have been excellent so far here in Salt Lake City his first major as a coach 04:55:21.620 --> 04:55:26.140 And this is a big moment to prove his worth for the team now five five versus SR 04:55:26.140 --> 04:55:29.360 I mean you talked about getting film on this map for Enterprise, right? 04:55:29.440 --> 04:55:36.340 But Shopify rebellion going all the way back to the Munich major and I think that's worth qualifying because they are not changed their roster 04:55:36.340 --> 04:55:42.080 Sure, they played it nine times. They're shoving fire rebellion fans of Ferris Peeler stay off with no nine 04:55:42.380 --> 04:55:47.860 Times and they won six of those and their numbers are good. They have a positive attack win rate 04:55:47.860 --> 04:55:50.500 They have a positive defender win rate. They are statistically 04:55:50.500 --> 04:55:56.920 better on attack than they are on defense. They just won this game a couple days ago against Edward gaming 7-3. 04:55:56.940 --> 04:56:04.340 So yes, they are a very good team, but like I said, maybe a touch over exposed with what we're hearing from Mag in particular. 04:56:04.500 --> 04:56:10.340 Enterprise are very diligent about their prep work. They know what to expect. Now, 04:56:10.700 --> 04:56:17.320 for an inexperienced team that's never played on a main stage, being able to execute on that information is the tricky part, 04:56:17.320 --> 04:56:23.100 but having that information isn't. So if you know that Spoid is going to play 04:56:23.100 --> 04:56:25.780 Scopus on that bombsite every single time, if you know that they're going to 04:56:25.780 --> 04:56:29.320 position a clash on on fish stairs all the time, if you know that they're going 04:56:29.320 --> 04:56:34.120 to put a mute downstairs every single time near control room, then guess what? 04:56:34.120 --> 04:56:39.520 Your players are going to be well versed because there's so much footage from 04:56:39.520 --> 04:56:46.100 SR and again SR struggles to close out these maps and they just drop two 04:56:46.100 --> 04:56:50.180 consecutive rounds, I'm starting to get that same feeling we get when we cast SR. 04:56:50.180 --> 04:56:54.420 And listen, Parker, if you're worried about the footage being your downfall, that means 04:56:54.420 --> 04:56:55.740 it's time to change things up. 04:56:55.740 --> 04:56:59.580 Canadian off the clash for the first time, this game moves over to the smoke, wanting 04:56:59.580 --> 04:57:02.820 to play just inside of that top floor to support his teammates. 04:57:02.820 --> 04:57:06.340 Rexon will often play the smoke on this site, he's gone to the mute instead, not a bad pivot 04:57:06.340 --> 04:57:07.340 at all. 04:57:07.340 --> 04:57:10.300 He's just going to be playing at that C4 over on the A site. 04:57:10.300 --> 04:57:14.300 It is him and Cerf, two of the longest standing members of this team, trying to walk down that 04:57:14.300 --> 04:57:19.520 bottom floor while the rest of S.R. try to lock down up above. There is a world 04:57:19.520 --> 04:57:22.460 where this ends up being a rush in through the window. I don't see it 04:57:22.460 --> 04:57:26.980 happening here, but 2-0's got to diffuse kid. I mean, they're waiting to breach to 04:57:26.980 --> 04:57:30.740 set the right moment. They get intel with the snake. Traditionally, you'd want to 04:57:30.740 --> 04:57:34.660 clear top floor first. IT has been opened up, so if they do go for a plant inside 04:57:34.660 --> 04:57:40.060 of storage, then they likely can deny the vert, but even still, lots of droning 04:57:40.060 --> 04:57:44.340 coming through and potential maybe to kind of close in on sport on the Azami. 04:57:44.940 --> 04:57:46.240 They knew exactly where he was. 04:57:46.240 --> 04:57:48.740 They throw the grenade out, hoping for a swing on the window. 04:57:48.740 --> 04:57:50.240 No follow up from down below. 04:57:50.240 --> 04:57:52.440 Spoint. Oh my goodness. 04:57:52.440 --> 04:57:57.240 Smited by the shield of Cairo Enterprise with two to Han in danger. 04:57:57.240 --> 04:57:59.780 But this is a great entry from Enterprise. 04:57:59.780 --> 04:58:01.920 The timeout working wonders. 04:58:01.920 --> 04:58:06.020 Ami, the only one to get a kill so far as to Han gets to defuse, get to the halfway point. 04:58:06.220 --> 04:58:08.860 Nitro cell goes out. It does not work. 04:58:08.860 --> 04:58:12.620 Cairo taking some damage, but this is an excellent position for Enterprise. 04:58:12.620 --> 04:58:15.120 This comeback very real at this point. 04:58:15.120 --> 04:58:19.980 Ambi, a one-man band, all up against Enterprise. 04:58:19.980 --> 04:58:21.060 They've got him isolated. 04:58:21.060 --> 04:58:22.300 Brendo shuts the door. 04:58:22.300 --> 04:58:24.060 Three in a row for Enterprise. 04:58:24.060 --> 04:58:25.940 They're on map point. 04:58:25.940 --> 04:58:28.260 And the nerves start to set in. 04:58:28.260 --> 04:58:31.300 This is all falling apart for Shopify Rebellion. 04:58:31.300 --> 04:58:34.460 Overtime is now their only path to the main stage, 04:58:34.460 --> 04:58:37.420 other than that third map or tomorrow. 04:58:37.420 --> 04:58:41.740 What incredible Blackbeard play coming up from Kyro Parker, the captain of Enterprise. 04:58:41.740 --> 04:58:46.460 If you didn't know that bash can go through a window that's long enough range and Spoight will 04:58:46.460 --> 04:58:51.260 find that out the hard way. Up at the top of Rafters, really good drones coming out there in the early 04:58:51.260 --> 04:58:56.140 game, really good capitalization off of that information. Late, here's that play. Again, 04:58:56.140 --> 04:59:00.700 that melee bash, such a long range that you've got on that utility and then it really just comes 04:59:00.700 --> 04:59:05.740 down to the other frags around the map. Jigsaw over towards IT was able to find Canadian. They got 04:59:05.740 --> 04:59:09.660 this garage control really nicely with the snake coming through and the drones 04:59:09.660 --> 04:59:13.360 coming through it was information that made the big difference that's what gave 04:59:13.360 --> 04:59:17.460 Enterprise a leg up in that round didn't need to focus on the plant didn't need to 04:59:17.460 --> 04:59:21.520 cheese it with a ying they just had the intel they won the fights shop of fire 04:59:21.520 --> 04:59:25.180 rebellion their last lifeline in regulation they will go to the top 04:59:25.180 --> 04:59:30.140 floor they will bring Canadian on the clash for the fifth time this game all 04:59:30.140 --> 04:59:34.580 All of it relies on this one defense, and things haven't changed much for SR. 04:59:34.580 --> 04:59:38.820 You do worry here, you worry an awful lot, Jesse. 04:59:38.820 --> 04:59:40.140 I have no skin in this game. 04:59:40.140 --> 04:59:44.460 I think there's great storylines for both of these squads, and the loser will still 04:59:44.460 --> 04:59:50.500 have an attempt tomorrow to make their way to the main stage. 04:59:50.500 --> 04:59:54.100 It's going to be an important game, of course, between these two teams, and I like the one 04:59:54.100 --> 04:59:56.060 adaptation we're really seeing on this defense. 04:59:56.060 --> 04:59:57.420 Parker, it's Rexon. 04:59:57.420 --> 04:59:58.940 He's jumped onto the warden. 04:59:58.940 --> 05:00:01.820 It's going to be the operator that you need to be able to stop some of the ying play that 05:00:01.820 --> 05:00:05.780 was being so powerful for enterprise, but a response to the ying doesn't get played. 05:00:05.780 --> 05:00:10.380 EP, that was the real utility that they used to try to get in through electrical and IT. 05:00:10.380 --> 05:00:13.060 Without that being on the board, what is their game plan? 05:00:13.060 --> 05:00:17.020 What is their path to success to try to make this space upward and top floor? 05:00:17.020 --> 05:00:21.220 That's going to be my big question coming through this round. 05:00:21.220 --> 05:00:24.900 But I am worried about rebellion bouncing back here, Jesse, as now I've finished my 05:00:24.900 --> 05:00:25.900 part. 05:00:25.900 --> 05:00:26.900 Oh, patient man. 05:00:26.900 --> 05:00:27.900 Okay. 05:00:27.900 --> 05:00:33.160 Okay, I'm a very patient man. This is a nice angle from to Han. This is going to be coming to a ranked game near you 05:00:33.760 --> 05:00:37.520 It's a few times but on the a stream with two big orcs playing 05:00:38.160 --> 05:00:44.740 Just know people are gonna be copying it for good reason wall opened up good scouting so far and your crisis drone work has been really 05:00:44.880 --> 05:00:50.040 Sensational over the last couple rounds. It's something we haven't really highlighted that much, but the amount of information they're gaining 05:00:50.240 --> 05:00:52.240 They're impressive 05:00:52.240 --> 05:00:55.720 Down below Bappin is gonna be hunting for this class of course Canadian 05:00:55.720 --> 05:01:00.120 He's inside connector at the moment. He can kind of guide his movement based on where this 05:01:00.740 --> 05:01:05.800 Damos comes through where the tracks are he'll get that info Brenda on the on the buck down below too 05:01:05.800 --> 05:01:09.040 But look at Andy. He's lurking in the basement. This is the answer 05:01:09.040 --> 05:01:12.820 There might be a response if they're ready for this if they're watching for a flank to come up 05:01:12.820 --> 05:01:17.900 But they need to stop this vert pressure as soon as possible because as long as this exists Canadian is not safe 05:01:17.900 --> 05:01:24.500 It is up to Andy to deny these vert players down below Babbin and Brenda. You might find his opportunity now wandering up 05:01:24.500 --> 05:01:31.080 Sees the Deimos, that's one. Another turns in his direction. It's a glorified trade and a nice shot from Brendo. 05:01:31.080 --> 05:01:38.780 Tuan also on the board. Tuan has been the savior in this series. Now it's the warden, Rexon, coming in for the support against Canadian. 05:01:38.780 --> 05:01:45.380 Tuan taking damage. Rexon walks away with that frag. Out goes the shield of Cairo. He's looking to live on borrowed time. 05:01:45.380 --> 05:01:50.560 Brendo in a 1v3. Rebellion and managed to save themselves for the time being. 05:01:50.560 --> 05:01:55.560 What can Brendo get to lucky number 13 if he does? 05:01:55.560 --> 05:01:56.560 Yes, he. 05:01:56.560 --> 05:02:00.560 It's Enterprise moving us over to Fortress as the decider. 05:02:00.560 --> 05:02:02.560 It's got his work cut out for him. 05:02:02.560 --> 05:02:05.560 They've got the diffuser electric inside too, partner. 05:02:05.560 --> 05:02:08.560 There's not a lot of time, doesn't have much to work with. 05:02:08.560 --> 05:02:11.560 The clash will be a real impediment here. 05:02:11.560 --> 05:02:13.560 Now goes the flashbang. 05:02:13.560 --> 05:02:15.560 Brendo tucked in. 05:02:15.560 --> 05:02:18.560 Nigh unwinnable for the Aussie. 05:02:18.560 --> 05:02:21.780 especially with no information, but 05:02:21.780 --> 05:02:28.520 toil as he might, overtime on the menu, at least two rounds to settle this score. 05:02:28.520 --> 05:02:34.980 SR walked away with Enterprises map, but it's been quite a struggle on their own. 05:02:34.980 --> 05:02:36.980 I don't really need to do too much here. 05:02:36.980 --> 05:02:38.380 Overtime we go! 05:02:38.380 --> 05:02:41.480 Brenda finally taken out by Rex, it was only a matter of time, 05:02:41.480 --> 05:02:46.380 and they will avert disaster, moments beforehand. 05:02:46.380 --> 05:02:49.080 We're going OT for the first time in this series. 05:02:49.080 --> 05:02:50.640 Really big round from Rexon Parker. 05:02:50.640 --> 05:02:53.180 He plays around that classroom, Canadian so beautifully, 05:02:53.180 --> 05:02:55.520 ends up being a triple kill with that Warden shotgun. 05:02:55.520 --> 05:02:57.720 And I was worried because, you know, they didn't bring the Ying. 05:02:57.720 --> 05:03:00.380 That was really the reason why Warden got brought on the board, 05:03:00.380 --> 05:03:01.320 but it's OK. 05:03:01.320 --> 05:03:03.520 Ying or not, that Warden can find success 05:03:03.520 --> 05:03:06.620 in those enclosed spaces playing around electrical. 05:03:06.620 --> 05:03:09.120 Rexon was really able to find the bulk of those frags. 05:03:09.120 --> 05:03:11.560 And when you have that Blackbeard versus the Clash combo, 05:03:11.560 --> 05:03:15.120 it just becomes so awkward to find value. 05:03:15.120 --> 05:03:18.680 The game plan was clear from Enterprise, they were trying to work their way down below, 05:03:18.680 --> 05:03:22.360 apply pressure to the clash from the bottom floor, but Andy was really the problem. 05:03:22.360 --> 05:03:26.800 The second bat then dies, you lose that ability to get burnt in onto the clash. 05:03:26.800 --> 05:03:30.880 And Theory Brenda still could have applied that pressure, but there is a little bit of hard floor 05:03:30.880 --> 05:03:33.840 just inside of Electrical that Canadian was playing around on this clash, 05:03:33.840 --> 05:03:37.040 so it becomes so difficult to actually get that frag. 05:03:37.040 --> 05:03:41.280 Really well played by Rexon and Troy, that is the duo that they needed most 05:03:41.280 --> 05:03:44.400 in round number 12, and it keeps them alive on Nighaven. 05:03:44.400 --> 05:03:53.760 Rexon once again having a terrific game three players on rebellion to break double digits only to over on enterprise things spread out a little bit 05:03:53.760 --> 05:03:55.760 More evenly on that team 05:03:55.760 --> 05:04:00.240 Jigsaw having a historically poor match so far, which is quite a surprise 05:04:00.240 --> 05:04:02.240 But again, you go up against tough opponents 05:04:02.480 --> 05:04:08.320 Jigsaw has been the MVP of a day here already showing his might that was back during phase one 05:04:08.320 --> 05:04:11.680 But I think it is fair to say let's break your competition in phase one 05:04:11.680 --> 05:04:19.320 But both of these teams ultimately did qualify through the first phase enterprise doing so on the very first day 05:04:19.320 --> 05:04:21.500 And it was a very efficient run for them rebellion 05:04:21.500 --> 05:04:26.040 It took a little bit more time for them to to fully rise. Yeah, put it that way 05:04:26.200 --> 05:04:32.720 So we head into OT rebellion will defend once potentially twice depending on if we need all 15 rounds 05:04:33.000 --> 05:04:37.760 Well, they defended top floor three times Parker, but they lost it once they defended storage twice 05:04:37.760 --> 05:04:43.160 But they lost it once and they defended kitchen cafeteria once, but they lost it once so kitchen on this map 05:04:43.280 --> 05:04:49.360 There's a kitchen on this map not where Shopify rebellion want to go though because this time around they will play the fourth site 05:04:49.360 --> 05:04:53.000 They will go down to the bottom floor. They are keeping enterprise on their toes 05:04:53.000 --> 05:04:56.360 Keep in mind as soon as we hit overtime all bomb sites unlock 05:04:56.360 --> 05:04:59.760 So SR could have gone anywhere and they choose the one place where they have not gone before 05:04:59.960 --> 05:05:06.000 It's gonna keep things really awkward for enterprise. They've got to really be able to identify this defensive setup in a Jiffy 05:05:06.000 --> 05:05:08.040 They've got to make sure they're bringing the right attacking operators. 05:05:08.040 --> 05:05:12.040 I like their lineup so far here to Han on the thermite able to open up this wall 05:05:12.040 --> 05:05:17.000 There's no real wall denial operators other than the mute and of course that is mostly just being used for the roam game 05:05:17.000 --> 05:05:18.640 So that shouldn't be an issue for them 05:05:18.640 --> 05:05:25.760 Minute 40 here on the clock. The roam game is alive and well from SR first solos that we see from SR and first echo that we see from 05:05:25.760 --> 05:05:26.960 SR too so 05:05:26.960 --> 05:05:34.040 Information obviously the name of the game Canadian on echo doing very well in the match that we saw just a couple days ago played on layer 05:05:34.040 --> 05:05:39.640 able to assist his teammates to get kills, but the thing is, is Canadian needs to survive. 05:05:39.640 --> 05:05:43.960 It was a bit of a struggle for him when he was playing the pulse over on the earlier 05:05:43.960 --> 05:05:49.480 map of Cafe. As long as he can find himself in a very safe and sequestered part of this 05:05:49.480 --> 05:05:54.360 map, those yokai drones, all three of them, can be scattered about to either assist on 05:05:54.360 --> 05:05:58.360 the roam or down below. And there you go. Picture in picture to show you where these 05:05:58.360 --> 05:06:02.920 are located. They'll lose one, so good set of eyes on the Blitz. 05:06:06.440 --> 05:06:10.120 The ground has not really been taken. Parker, this is now 60 seconds on the clock. 05:06:10.120 --> 05:06:13.640 There are 10 players still alive in this lobby. SR control of the Rome game, 05:06:13.640 --> 05:06:16.360 but we're here in Exo from Cairo. Brenda will go down. 05:06:16.360 --> 05:06:19.400 Likely that's Ambi up on the top floor, finishes off at Surf instead. 05:06:19.560 --> 05:06:23.200 4v5 execute incoming. Ambi and Cairo on a collision course now. 05:06:23.200 --> 05:06:26.680 Both sustaining serious damage as Bapin is looking for somebody off site. 05:06:26.680 --> 05:06:31.360 There goes Ambi, he was on the ground, secured by the blitz of Cairo as he's going to look for an opening, 05:06:31.360 --> 05:06:33.360 but has to be concerned with what's above. 05:06:33.360 --> 05:06:38.440 Say goodbye to Jigsaw, Spoits on the board, Diffuse Kitt was attempted, but will instead fall off. 05:06:38.440 --> 05:06:40.120 Yokai Drone's still up as well. 05:06:40.120 --> 05:06:43.160 Rebellion will be giving these calls, Canadian in particular. 05:06:43.160 --> 05:06:48.240 A circle looked to break double digits and join everybody not named Canadian on this team. 05:06:48.240 --> 05:06:54.240 Cairo wanted to get that Diffuse playing down a 20 seconds ago, Jesse, but he's not been able to find that comfort level. 05:06:54.240 --> 05:06:55.920 He'll trap Canadian in the corner, 05:06:55.920 --> 05:06:58.720 spoilt as the Cross Enterprise put together 05:06:58.720 --> 05:06:59.920 quite an impressive streak, 05:06:59.920 --> 05:07:03.760 but it sure seems like Rebellion will move to series point 05:07:03.760 --> 05:07:06.600 unless Bappin can find something. 05:07:06.600 --> 05:07:08.440 He downs Rexon, but that's all she wrote. 05:07:08.440 --> 05:07:12.240 Rebellion move to series point one round away 05:07:12.240 --> 05:07:14.000 from sealing the deal on their map. 05:07:14.000 --> 05:07:15.240 Parker, seven rounds ago, 05:07:15.240 --> 05:07:16.960 we got to listen into these two coaches 05:07:16.960 --> 05:07:18.800 and we heard just how much good prep work 05:07:18.800 --> 05:07:20.040 had been done by Enterprise. 05:07:20.040 --> 05:07:22.440 They expected every move from the Rebellion. 05:07:22.440 --> 05:07:23.520 They knew about the clash. 05:07:23.520 --> 05:07:26.680 They knew about the top floor site. They knew about the mid floor sites as well 05:07:26.680 --> 05:07:34.520 But that basement is something that SR had been holding on to and I think choosing that bomb site is really what won it for Shopify rebellion 05:07:34.520 --> 05:07:39.180 I mean that was not a good attack from Enterprise. We have to say it. They had very little map control 05:07:39.180 --> 05:07:40.400 They hadn't dealt with the roamers 05:07:40.400 --> 05:07:45.860 They lost a really scrappy body up towards its off-floor and usually when you go for that direct-to-site XO hit 05:07:45.860 --> 05:07:50.380 You've got control at least of storage up above because that is the one spot that could deny your plant 05:07:50.380 --> 05:07:54.740 Rexon was there the whole time. The map control was so weak on the side of Enterprise 05:07:54.740 --> 05:07:59.260 And I truly think that it was just a scramble the attack because they didn't think that would be the site 05:07:59.260 --> 05:08:04.840 They didn't expect that one to come through from SR and because they hadn't practiced on it through the last six rounds up against the 05:08:04.840 --> 05:08:12.060 Rebellion it just overwhelmed them a little bit and SR have managed to get themselves another match point in what looked like a hopeless map 05:08:12.540 --> 05:08:15.380 Yeah, I mean concern was here if they could shake off 05:08:15.380 --> 05:08:19.140 off the, uh, I don't know who you want to call it, but if they can, 05:08:19.180 --> 05:08:23.940 if they can shake off the bad vibes when they get into these favorable 05:08:23.940 --> 05:08:28.060 spots, AK match point, this team really can flourish. I mean, 05:08:29.140 --> 05:08:31.620 there was a period of time where it didn't even look like job by rebellion 05:08:31.620 --> 05:08:34.140 would make it during kickoff. Here they are. 05:08:34.300 --> 05:08:37.940 And then after that Falcons matchup in the very first phase, 05:08:37.940 --> 05:08:41.980 people were wondering, are they even going to make it past the plans? 05:08:42.260 --> 05:08:44.060 They have and they've looked pretty good so far. 05:08:44.060 --> 05:08:46.500 They haven't been flawless, which is why they're in this position. 05:08:46.500 --> 05:08:52.340 But dropping a single series on right to a main stage appearance is the highest result 05:08:52.340 --> 05:08:55.420 that this team and this organization will have seen. 05:08:55.420 --> 05:08:58.500 It's been a long time since some of these players have played on a stage. 05:08:58.500 --> 05:09:05.180 So shake off any concerning bad vibes, anything like that, and dial yourself in. 05:09:05.180 --> 05:09:07.900 You've got two opportunities to get this job done. 05:09:07.900 --> 05:09:11.900 And the good news is that historically over those nine times that we've seen Rebellion 05:09:11.900 --> 05:09:14.660 play this map? There's statistically much better on attack. 05:09:15.740 --> 05:09:19.540 There's a kitchen on this site, Parker. What? It's gonna be our 05:09:19.540 --> 05:09:23.060 potentially final bomb site. And the last time Enterprise chose to 05:09:23.060 --> 05:09:26.380 defend here, it was two on with four kills. It was able to lock 05:09:26.380 --> 05:09:29.540 things down from inside the site, shopfire, rebellion, we're 05:09:29.540 --> 05:09:32.540 very similar Intel focused lineup. You've got ambi on the 05:09:32.540 --> 05:09:35.820 snake, Canadian here this time on the twist drone. It was built to 05:09:35.820 --> 05:09:38.180 be last time, which he fortunately wasn't able to hit 05:09:38.180 --> 05:09:41.780 the shots with. Now he's got a bit of a simpler gun. The DMR and 05:09:41.780 --> 05:09:45.620 hands that dealt early damage to Bappet. That was right when the round began over 05:09:45.620 --> 05:09:48.780 towards the top lobby door so that's going to be a bit of information, a bit 05:09:48.780 --> 05:09:52.820 of early damage they can try to work with. A couple of run-ups as well that we've 05:09:52.820 --> 05:09:56.820 seen Tuhan earlier on in this round and now Brendo too getting a little bit 05:09:56.820 --> 05:10:04.620 spotted by that snake. Slow and steady so far from SR but the chaos is about to begin. 05:10:04.620 --> 05:10:08.420 Fire going August Bappet has taken some damage but that's really all that we can 05:10:08.420 --> 05:10:12.980 see right now a lot of drones a lot of intel that's being done by rebellion as 05:10:12.980 --> 05:10:18.140 they ultimately tied that first half no team better on their respective halves 05:10:18.140 --> 05:10:23.300 three threes across the board there goes ambi to jigsaw and babin dies not 05:10:23.300 --> 05:10:27.340 much longer for this earth canadian finds a rare kill on the Cairo and suddenly 05:10:27.340 --> 05:10:30.580 rebellion of a numbers advantage with a bit more than a minute to go it's 05:10:30.580 --> 05:10:33.420 exactly what they needed canadian with the dmr is able to hit his shots this 05:10:33.420 --> 05:10:37.820 time around so it's a 3v4 favoring the rebellion they don't have a whole lot of 05:10:37.820 --> 05:10:44.820 They've got control up above, they've got lobby control under their hands as well, Enterprise mostly playing around lounge at the moment. 05:10:44.820 --> 05:10:49.820 They're quite far removed from the bomb site. It opens the opportunity for a plant from SR, but is it just a trap? 05:10:49.820 --> 05:10:56.820 There's Gersmoth being held by Tuhan, there's Impact, there's Nitrocells. This is not free for a plant and Tuhan himself is even still inside of a site. 05:10:56.820 --> 05:11:03.820 They'll slow peek the window hoping for something. You won't find it just out of reach of those players above. 05:11:03.820 --> 05:11:08.340 You have tough work control, that's fine, but you've got to translate that to the bomb site rebellion need to hurry 05:11:08.660 --> 05:11:12.740 Because clock management is a real consideration and there you go first smoke will go off 05:11:13.180 --> 05:11:17.420 Another call is surf will smoke a different direction. I don't know if that was a course correction 05:11:17.420 --> 05:11:24.180 Spoit takes down jigsaw only to remain for enterprise. This has been a valiant effort from the team all the way down under 05:11:24.700 --> 05:11:27.220 Can they pull this one off diffuse kid going down? 05:11:27.220 --> 05:11:29.820 They will scramble to regain the site to on and Brenda have been 05:11:29.820 --> 05:11:35.100 sensational Tuhan in particular, but it just might be too much for the Namustor Tuhan on the board. 05:11:35.100 --> 05:11:40.780 He himself has carried the weight for this team, but it might be a bit too much for him to lift. 05:11:41.500 --> 05:11:48.700 Rebellion failed in regular time. We go into overtime and they are in full control as Tuhan 05:11:48.700 --> 05:11:54.700 and Rexon will come to words. Rebellion moments away from a birth on the main stage. Only one 05:11:54.700 --> 05:12:02.760 player stands between them and he won't have any success. Shopify Rebellion win 2-0 and 05:12:02.760 --> 05:12:07.700 an NA team will be seen in front of the Salt Lake City crowd. 05:12:07.700 --> 05:12:11.940 Relief on the faces of the blue and green, but they have done what they came to do. They 05:12:11.940 --> 05:12:16.560 made it through the kickoff inside of North America. They made it through phase one and 05:12:16.560 --> 05:12:21.760 now phase two is behind them. They're headed to top eight. They're headed to the main stage 05:12:21.760 --> 05:12:25.760 What a game it was 8-6 on this final map of Night Haven Labs. 05:12:25.760 --> 05:12:28.760 They had to adapt constantly throughout this series Parker, 05:12:28.760 --> 05:12:33.760 but in the end the better team came out on top and Shopify Rebellion for that team. 05:12:33.760 --> 05:12:41.760 A lot of fans for this organization, big name players, and yet their fans have never been able to cheer them on in person. 05:12:41.760 --> 05:12:47.760 That ends in just a couple days, and North America will have something to cheer for. 05:12:47.760 --> 05:12:55.520 more NA teams joining them later today and tomorrow, but for now, revel in it fans of SR. It's been a 05:12:55.520 --> 05:13:01.920 long winter, but spring has arrived. And for the Enterprise fans, it's been six years, but they'll 05:13:01.920 --> 05:13:07.040 get one more opportunity tomorrow. Of course, six years in a day doesn't change that much in the 05:13:07.040 --> 05:13:11.520 grand scope of things. They will have another opportunity, but this one's got a sting. We 05:13:11.520 --> 05:13:15.360 talked to them earlier in the day park. We got the chance to chat with Mag. He thought this was 05:13:15.360 --> 05:13:18.060 their best opportunity to make it to the main stage. 05:13:18.060 --> 05:13:20.660 He thought they matched up really well against SFR, 05:13:20.660 --> 05:13:22.660 but unfortunately the confidence wasn't enough 05:13:22.660 --> 05:13:23.860 and they lost it today. 05:13:23.860 --> 05:13:26.060 Well, we've got to send one more team to the main stage. 05:13:26.060 --> 05:13:26.960 Who will it be? 05:13:26.960 --> 05:13:27.560 Sick tight. 05:13:27.560 --> 05:13:28.760 We'll find out after the break. 05:16:15.360 --> 05:16:45.160 Vibes are high here over in the SR room after they book themselves a ticket to the 05:16:45.160 --> 05:16:50.440 main stage here in Salt Lake City, Rexon, what a performance from the team, what a performance 05:16:50.440 --> 05:16:56.200 from you, 14 kills on both maps, 28 and 15, great stuff, what was it feeling like for 05:16:56.200 --> 05:16:57.200 you out there? 05:16:57.200 --> 05:17:01.080 I mean, I just wanted to win really, I didn't realize I wasn't like playing as well, it's 05:17:01.080 --> 05:17:05.120 like, you know, I pressed down on the cap at the end of the game and Troy put me on 05:17:05.120 --> 05:17:08.560 two browns instead of Kate Barbwire in the basement, so I was able to finally be able 05:17:08.560 --> 05:17:11.080 to, you know, floor us in that spot, which would be great, but no, I'm just really happy 05:17:11.080 --> 05:17:12.080 that, you know, we made it. 05:17:12.080 --> 05:17:17.840 I also want to know at the very beginning of this matchup you said you're talking into the boy and my all chat is off 05:17:17.840 --> 05:17:21.580 Was that true? Yeah? Yeah, I just meet the chat. There's no point. I don't guys type all the time 05:17:21.580 --> 05:17:25.640 It's nothing serious, but I would just rather not read it. There's like 30 to point 05:17:25.640 --> 05:17:31.960 So yeah, that was that was true just meet the chance to keep playing well expectations ahead of main stage you guys as an 05:17:32.340 --> 05:17:37.080 Organization will be heading to the main stage for the first time. How you feeling about that? That's pretty good 05:17:37.580 --> 05:17:40.280 Especially like this event not only being in the US, but I flew up my brother 05:17:40.280 --> 05:17:43.880 So it's going made it so he'll be able to see it's like a huge sport of me and I appreciate it 05:17:43.880 --> 05:17:45.880 So I'm actually really excited to be the main stage 05:17:46.480 --> 05:17:51.640 Incredible looking forward to seeing you guys out there SR to the main stage. They go. We'll see them on Friday 05:17:56.600 --> 05:18:00.680 In here in Siege the yet to come we've got dark zero versus a wild card 05:18:00.840 --> 05:18:05.640 We've got our map bands in front of us so we can see exactly where we're gonna be going 05:18:05.640 --> 05:18:11.400 It's night here. The labs and clubhouse are going to be the main two cafe if we need it 05:18:11.480 --> 05:18:17.600 But this is an all-american short end is going to guarantee is another North American side in 05:18:19.000 --> 05:18:24.520 Life-stage matches this what I love about it most is the history between the two as well Tim dark zero wild card 05:18:24.520 --> 05:18:29.880 They played each of the 12 times as an organization throughout history. Guess how many times wall cards one Tim? 05:18:30.800 --> 05:18:33.760 Just the ones I think it might be there's I guess when that was Tim 05:18:33.760 --> 05:18:35.560 Well, when was that, Dez? 05:18:35.560 --> 05:18:37.560 It was back at kickoff. 05:18:37.560 --> 05:18:40.760 That's the only time Wildcard have got one over on DZ. 05:18:40.760 --> 05:18:42.560 Do you feel like they can do it here today? 05:18:42.560 --> 05:18:43.560 Or are you going for DZ? 05:18:43.560 --> 05:18:44.560 I'm going for DZ today. 05:18:44.560 --> 05:18:45.960 Well, I'll go towards Wildcard. 05:18:45.960 --> 05:18:47.360 Tim will make it nice, easy and competitive. 05:18:47.360 --> 05:18:48.760 Shall we? Back after a short break 05:18:48.760 --> 05:18:50.560 and then we'll get underway with that series. 05:22:33.760 --> 05:22:48.200 Welcome back to the Salt Lake City Major. We're getting into our final best of three 05:22:48.200 --> 05:22:54.840 of the day and it's an all American showdown. Dark zero versus wild card, Undez. This is 05:22:54.840 --> 05:22:58.280 Tim. You got the Brits for this North American showdown. We're just getting everywhere today 05:22:58.280 --> 05:23:02.040 there. We are. Honestly, just throw us anywhere and we'll do what we always do. We'll shout, 05:23:02.040 --> 05:23:04.040 I'm gonna cast some good siege too. 05:23:04.040 --> 05:23:06.040 This one's gonna be an interesting one because as you know, 05:23:06.040 --> 05:23:08.040 the winner of this qualifies to the main stage. 05:23:08.040 --> 05:23:13.040 It will be another American team making it to Friday's quarterfinals. 05:23:13.040 --> 05:23:16.040 You're thinking it's DZ. I'm thinking it's Wildcard. 05:23:20.040 --> 05:23:23.040 We saw DZ. We cast DZplay yesterday. 05:23:23.040 --> 05:23:26.040 I lose track of exactly where the games were, but we've seen DZplay 05:23:26.040 --> 05:23:29.040 and they were actually looking really, really good. 05:23:29.040 --> 05:23:34.040 really good. This should be 05:23:34.040 --> 05:23:35.040 the top team coming out of any 05:23:35.040 --> 05:23:36.040 but the big thing for me here 05:23:36.040 --> 05:23:37.040 is obviously the NA teams are 05:23:37.040 --> 05:23:38.040 going to know each other better 05:23:38.040 --> 05:23:39.040 than anybody. And I think 05:23:39.040 --> 05:23:41.040 having somebody subbing as good 05:23:41.040 --> 05:23:43.040 as hot and cold is and as well 05:23:43.040 --> 05:23:45.040 as he has fitting with that team. 05:23:45.040 --> 05:23:47.040 I just really think that if you 05:23:47.040 --> 05:23:48.040 playing somebody from your own 05:23:48.040 --> 05:23:50.040 region, that's when you're really 05:23:50.040 --> 05:23:52.040 going to get exposed. If there's 05:23:52.040 --> 05:23:54.040 any weaknesses there. And so 05:23:54.040 --> 05:23:55.040 that's why I'm leaning on the 05:23:55.040 --> 05:23:56.040 side of Dark Zero. 05:23:56.040 --> 05:23:57.040 I'm just having that frontier. 05:23:57.040 --> 05:23:58.040 I mean, we saw them as you say 05:23:58.040 --> 05:24:04.680 play against NIP for the first three rounds. We got very worried about them. Only for them to then go on to win seven in a row. Impressive stuff. 05:24:04.680 --> 05:24:12.800 Did struggle a little bit against loss for both of these teams. Faced off against loss on this map or on this map on bank. So we've got a little bit of comparison point between the two. 05:24:12.800 --> 05:24:19.320 And arguably Wildcard had the better results. As you can see on your screen, baby shark. Another question marks around his performance during kickoff team. 05:24:19.320 --> 05:24:23.840 But I think those questions have been answered. He is playing fantastically so far. 05:24:23.840 --> 05:24:30.280 Yeah, he's really been going off lately Bay as well getting in on the action since some big moments from him 05:24:30.680 --> 05:24:34.040 Wildcard are a team that I really really enjoy he's spiker 05:24:34.040 --> 05:24:40.240 I tell you it was one of the best agile's that we've got certainly coming out of North America right up there with the best of them 05:24:40.560 --> 05:24:44.680 Really impressed with him over the last year or so the Gornes as coach as well 05:24:44.720 --> 05:24:51.280 You know, it's been an upward trend from Munich onwards for me. Really they had that great performance there and they've been consistent with it 05:24:51.280 --> 05:24:55.440 They've continued threatening. They've not just had one good tournament. They've had a good tournament 05:24:55.440 --> 05:24:59.400 But then they have continued to be one of those teams that are in the conversation 05:24:59.400 --> 05:25:04.640 It really really like wildcard. It's a shame to see them of course not a shame to see them without gold 05:25:04.640 --> 05:25:09.600 But it'd be nice to see the full line up with Adrian, but it is what it is hot and cold is here 05:25:09.600 --> 05:25:12.320 He's fitting. Well games have been a little up and down 05:25:12.320 --> 05:25:14.600 But what a story line that is as well of course well 05:25:14.600 --> 05:25:15.440 He said a couple of days ago 05:25:15.440 --> 05:25:21.040 He quite literally has lived up to his name had one game where he was on fire and the next one relatively 05:25:21.040 --> 05:25:24.400 absent inside the server and I'm sure he's hoping that today he is going to be more than 05:25:24.400 --> 05:25:27.840 present inside the server because as we've said it's a classic showdown between these 05:25:27.840 --> 05:25:32.000 two orbs inside the region. It is a spot on Friday on the line. No one wants to have to 05:25:32.000 --> 05:25:36.000 go into tomorrow knowing it's due or die. Here at least you get a second chance if you lose 05:25:36.000 --> 05:25:39.280 but I don't know about you Tim. I'd hate to playing on the last day knowing everyone's 05:25:39.280 --> 05:25:44.640 going up for it. Yeah it's like you said going into that like nobody wants to play on the last 05:25:44.640 --> 05:25:49.440 day realistically. I think get it done now get it locked out. That'd be the dream wouldn't it. 05:25:49.440 --> 05:25:55.920 I hear our game is basically ready so we will get into things in just a second kicking things off to him with night Haven labs are a reminder 05:25:55.920 --> 05:25:59.720 We have labs. We have club and we have cafe if required 05:25:59.720 --> 05:26:04.600 It can be done into one of these teams wins out on top. This is wildcars map pick 05:26:04.600 --> 05:26:09.760 It is one of DZ's top maps though. So I feel wildcard are going in here try to fight strength with strength 05:26:10.360 --> 05:26:13.800 And that's I'll be honest what I like to see 05:26:14.360 --> 05:26:17.880 You know we yourself well, this is it we get different types of bands 05:26:17.880 --> 05:26:21.980 And sometimes it will be about trying to play, you know, a bad map of the other team. 05:26:21.980 --> 05:26:26.180 Sometimes it will be about just trying to play what you feel is a great map for you. 05:26:26.180 --> 05:26:30.780 And I personally lean a little bit of favoritism towards the side of, 05:26:30.780 --> 05:26:34.580 come out and just pick a map you think you're great on, even if the others are good there. 05:26:34.580 --> 05:26:35.580 Just back yourself. 05:26:35.580 --> 05:26:38.180 Going with that confidence, like you say, wildcard looking like, 05:26:38.180 --> 05:26:39.780 that's exactly what they are doing. 05:26:39.780 --> 05:26:44.880 So, bands going to come on through, and we'll see exactly who we're going to be missing here. 05:26:44.880 --> 05:26:48.640 I would have thought Kaid will probably be one of them with some consistent cave banning 05:26:48.800 --> 05:26:54.760 Not just on that if a lab's put throughout the tournament it will continue here and Grimm will be the first 05:26:55.240 --> 05:26:57.440 attacker that has gone by the wayside 05:26:57.800 --> 05:27:02.440 Do you want to touch on that game back and kick off between these two teams by the way because it was an absolute 05:27:02.960 --> 05:27:06.840 bomb burner 42 rounds it took across the three maps and Tim 05:27:06.840 --> 05:27:13.160 You're gonna love this night here in labs was one of those maps and it ended up being an eight seven win to the side of 05:27:13.160 --> 05:27:17.560 wild card so you might look at that and think okay we do a repeat I'd like to 05:27:17.560 --> 05:27:20.120 seal 15 rounds of this one between these two I really want to see and throw 05:27:20.120 --> 05:27:23.480 down sure they've learned from the last time that they played against each other 05:27:23.480 --> 05:27:26.880 but equally both will have been going away and cooking in the kitchen something 05:27:26.880 --> 05:27:30.920 a little bit special to make sure this one's a bit more dominant starting things 05:27:30.920 --> 05:27:35.080 off with Dark Zero on the attack we are gonna be down we're upstairs sorry on 05:27:35.080 --> 05:27:40.440 the second floor inside the command center and service Dark Zero will kick 05:27:40.440 --> 05:27:45.080 things off on the defence end and the clash is being brought along immediately. 05:27:45.080 --> 05:27:50.120 Of course, Ion Fultz, where will we expect to see that played? Well, everywhere on this 05:27:50.120 --> 05:27:55.320 top floor. They do tend to get about a little bit. The focal points, I would imagine, will 05:27:55.320 --> 05:28:00.560 be pillar, connector, electrical, that side of things, maybe top-aqua. If needed, we 05:28:00.560 --> 05:28:05.960 don't tend to see too much clash on and around Catwalk because Jenna and I was going to be 05:28:05.960 --> 05:28:10.680 there on the Islamic maybe a little breeze into it if there's a bit too much 05:28:10.680 --> 05:28:14.120 pressure coming through there but folks is gonna get his steps in our dimension 05:28:14.120 --> 05:28:18.800 in this round and he's gonna have to get a little bit active yeah I mean you and 05:28:18.800 --> 05:28:25.000 our cast labs four five yeah plenty of dances to them much to your joy is your 05:28:25.000 --> 05:28:29.160 favorite love it you're often the 13 and what we see in the main focus as you 05:28:29.160 --> 05:28:32.400 probably expect is an IT and warehouse take is where most teams start out the 05:28:32.400 --> 05:28:36.800 round and maybe you'll have a late round back start coming into Acqua and of course you'll 05:28:36.800 --> 05:28:41.440 always take the pick in our game that we had earlier on we saw actually a very heavy focus 05:28:41.440 --> 05:28:46.240 into meeting instead now that led to some very very interesting dances with shield operators but 05:28:46.240 --> 05:28:49.760 I think what were thought being here on the clash would mean that if the shield came in from the 05:28:49.760 --> 05:28:54.000 other side it had the ability to pretend it's quite comfortably and sure enough wildcard for now 05:28:54.000 --> 05:28:58.320 I've got that main breach open inside connector I suggest they will have some pressure from 05:28:58.320 --> 05:28:59.700 They're late to run. 05:28:59.700 --> 05:29:04.320 Yeah, Nura's at the minute is the one just behind Pilla, tasked with holding down connector, 05:29:04.320 --> 05:29:06.320 but there's not too much immediate pressure. 05:29:06.320 --> 05:29:11.620 He's actually backed up by Fultz, which is one of main areas that I suggested we would see that clash working. 05:29:11.620 --> 05:29:16.120 Meanwhile, the Thermite of Kanzan will move over and get IT wall open. 05:29:16.120 --> 05:29:19.820 Love this. Inside of the first minute, plenty of breaching has been done. 05:29:19.820 --> 05:29:24.220 Kanzan can go back to the drones and then he's just another gun in the lineup 05:29:24.220 --> 05:29:28.120 because no further breaching is really going to be required. 05:29:28.120 --> 05:29:31.000 Couple of players now baby shark and hot and cold setting themselves up towards 05:29:31.640 --> 05:29:35.320 Electric and in towards connector as mentioned earlier on we will get some pressure 05:29:35.320 --> 05:29:41.880 But no doubt builds around it by that wall can open up to that's why I could have wanted the fuser currently dancing around that position on the capital 05:29:42.520 --> 05:29:43.640 And that's a military team 05:29:43.640 --> 05:29:47.000 There is a lot of utility to chew through here in terms of the fact we've got the bulletproof sensor 05:29:47.000 --> 05:29:51.800 Of course got the clash got the key vests to glance around got shield smokes are still still through a c4 05:29:52.040 --> 05:29:54.760 I think I just got ripped and tossed somewhere no recovered by njr 05:29:54.760 --> 05:29:58.900 I didn't see it leave his pocket and I was like where's the boom didn't hear the boom because he didn't explode it 05:30:00.160 --> 05:30:06.760 Just on the rooftop they're gonna be using that factor to try and deal with a lot of Gadgetry there 05:30:06.760 --> 05:30:11.660 We see bulletproof cam ADS effect of the clash was underneath as well did not however 05:30:12.200 --> 05:30:17.800 Manage it to deal with the Nitro and J.R. Throws it out gets himself a good kill onto hot and cold 05:30:17.800 --> 05:30:24.320 Five versus four dark zero one minute left to go toxic beard canister is deployed by keynote into electrical 05:30:24.320 --> 05:30:34.320 Just to stop that push for Baby Shark coming through, challenge on to the breach from Colts and NJR, get themselves two solid stuff from Dark Zero. 05:30:34.320 --> 05:30:40.320 Yeah, Wildcard pulled the trigger on the fact that she disabled the clash and wanted to push into IT of the back of it but couldn't. 05:30:40.320 --> 05:30:46.320 ADS is blocking out the utility they tossed into, they chose to hold firm a little bit longer and arguably that has costed it. 05:30:46.320 --> 05:30:51.360 It would have been their moment, but dark Sarah looked completely unbothered on this first defence. 05:30:51.360 --> 05:30:57.080 Tim, they've got a 4 vs 1, about 30 seconds to play, and all newers need is a small sound cue to pop out, 05:30:57.080 --> 05:31:00.080 collect the headshot and a very comfortable first round win. 05:31:00.080 --> 05:31:03.200 We see that same sort of situation again for Bay on the Thatcher there. 05:31:03.200 --> 05:31:06.960 We're talking about this quite a few times actually, Desk, as we keep seeing it now. 05:31:06.960 --> 05:31:11.040 And that is the Thatcher kind of being overwhelmed, having too much choice. 05:31:11.040 --> 05:31:13.080 What do I concentrate on? 05:31:13.080 --> 05:31:15.600 There was a warden there, there was a clash there. 05:31:15.600 --> 05:31:21.520 Bulletproof Cam, ADSs, Nitro, you know, how do you focus on all of those things? 05:31:21.520 --> 05:31:25.040 How do you, you know, pick out which one is going to be the most important? 05:31:25.040 --> 05:31:31.520 We saw the EMP being used, but it was just before NJR was able to get the job done with the Nitro. 05:31:31.520 --> 05:31:37.080 So when there's so much going on, electrically, you're kind of always going to end up missing something. 05:31:37.080 --> 05:31:39.040 Something is always going to slip the net. 05:31:39.040 --> 05:31:42.440 And in this case, it was a Nitro that really got the round underway. 05:31:42.440 --> 05:31:45.480 I'm really impressed with that defense from Dark Zero. 05:31:45.480 --> 05:31:47.360 It's exactly what I expected from them. 05:31:47.360 --> 05:31:50.880 I said coming in here, I think Wildcard are in for a tough game. 05:31:50.880 --> 05:31:52.520 That shows that I was right. 05:31:52.520 --> 05:31:54.240 There's plenty of seeds left to be played. 05:31:54.240 --> 05:31:57.600 This one, you know, plenty for Wildcard to come and win. 05:31:57.600 --> 05:32:00.320 But I just think they are going to have to be on top of their game 05:32:00.320 --> 05:32:01.160 if they want anything. 05:32:01.160 --> 05:32:04.720 They didn't really manage to force any avenue of attack 05:32:04.720 --> 05:32:06.520 onto Dark Zero there. 05:32:06.520 --> 05:32:08.520 I think it was one of them rounds where you look at it 05:32:08.520 --> 05:32:11.440 afterwards and just go, wow, that was a really bad take. 05:32:11.440 --> 05:32:14.480 what the hell were they doing? And I've said this a lot on the beach during the earlier 05:32:14.480 --> 05:32:18.080 to date and you can say this about teams like G2 when things work out for them they look like 05:32:18.080 --> 05:32:22.400 absolute geniuses but when it falls apart they look like the worst team in the world and most 05:32:22.400 --> 05:32:26.400 times the high risk how reward plays to try and make and wild card in that previous round like I 05:32:26.400 --> 05:32:31.200 said with focusing so much on IT making use of the fracture to disable the clash and the warden 05:32:31.200 --> 05:32:34.640 but just didn't manage to make anything happen off the back of it in a well-placed C4 and 05:32:34.640 --> 05:32:38.800 to hot and cold removing the middle angle it was just very well defended by dark zero overall so 05:32:38.800 --> 05:32:43.520 while it looked a little bit limp from Wildcard, the right idea was there that it didn't anticipate 05:32:43.520 --> 05:32:46.960 all the things that Darkseer would then about to throw at them, because in this day and age, 05:32:46.960 --> 05:32:51.040 Tim, might as well ward an ever-gonna sprint to IT breach and get a kill. It's so rare. More 05:32:51.040 --> 05:32:54.560 typically, you'll die trying to do that because someone will be holding you from stairs or the 05:32:54.560 --> 05:32:58.880 upside down repel. Just little siege time in moments really hurts them and set them back there. 05:32:58.880 --> 05:33:03.840 Not quite get to see where the Twitter on and got the second Vulcan canster there or not giving 05:33:03.840 --> 05:33:07.240 given that it was shot out, just as it took the shot. 05:33:07.240 --> 05:33:10.520 It was a very slim angle that it was trying to detonate 05:33:10.520 --> 05:33:14.080 that canister from, but good work was done by the drone. 05:33:14.080 --> 05:33:17.280 Anyway, more importantly at the minute is this top floor. 05:33:17.280 --> 05:33:20.680 Wildcard going in, having to chase down these players. 05:33:20.680 --> 05:33:23.400 Up there, it's gonna be Fultz taking a bit of damage there. 05:33:23.400 --> 05:33:26.680 Hot and cold also, Fultz manages to drop himself away, 05:33:26.680 --> 05:33:29.120 keep himself alive, Jin, I know I'm still up there, 05:33:29.120 --> 05:33:32.040 but as I say that, we'll come down Aqua stairs. 05:33:32.040 --> 05:33:34.340 It was a nice attempt from Wildcard, making use of the decay. 05:33:34.340 --> 05:33:37.140 He'd be getting the call out as they knew the pressure was coming onto these players 05:33:37.140 --> 05:33:39.440 and looking to catch them out, but they'd slipped the net. 05:33:39.440 --> 05:33:42.240 And Fultz, who was one of those players that slipped the net to him, 05:33:42.240 --> 05:33:44.740 oh, Shah King, they'd be chomping down on anything any time soon. 05:33:44.740 --> 05:33:46.840 He's taken off line. The second duck would be cool. 05:33:46.840 --> 05:33:48.840 Not going to be available to Wildcard. 05:33:48.840 --> 05:33:51.640 And he's got these two rounds again that had the right sort of idea. 05:33:51.640 --> 05:33:53.340 They just haven't seen him come to fruition. 05:33:53.340 --> 05:33:57.340 Bit of damage done to J-Nano and Fultz, who was trying to hold on to that top floor. 05:33:57.340 --> 05:33:59.940 But I think, to be honest, they will happily accept that. 05:33:59.940 --> 05:34:05.120 They've wasted about a minute forty, minute forty-five before Wildcard can really start pressure inside. 05:34:05.120 --> 05:34:07.960 Look at this aggression coming out from Beardo. It's as easy as that. 05:34:07.960 --> 05:34:11.160 Walks down, gets warm. Can he find himself a second? Yes, he can. 05:34:11.160 --> 05:34:14.660 The threat comes down the hatch behind him. We see that from the silhouette. 05:34:14.660 --> 05:34:19.560 Four versus three now, and we've got a lot of pressure coming into sight for Dark Zero. 05:34:19.560 --> 05:34:24.560 Really good call by Bay. He's got a third as well. Tim literally putting his team on his back in this round. 05:34:24.560 --> 05:34:28.100 Spike on the one with the diffuser, though. He needs to drop the hatch himself in towards Animus 05:34:28.100 --> 05:34:29.900 and then look to tuck in tight for the plant. 05:34:29.900 --> 05:34:31.060 Doing that right now. 05:34:31.060 --> 05:34:33.180 Bay looking for the fourth, but Fultz finds one. 05:34:33.180 --> 05:34:36.220 NJR another, hot on goal, starting to warm up. 05:34:36.220 --> 05:34:38.980 And that diffuser is down at 2v1. 05:34:38.980 --> 05:34:40.260 Fultz has had a great round team, 05:34:40.260 --> 05:34:41.860 but it's a lot for him to save. 05:34:41.860 --> 05:34:44.980 Yeah, especially on low health as well, very unlikely. 05:34:44.980 --> 05:34:47.100 Gonna be trying to get that TCSG working, 05:34:47.100 --> 05:34:49.220 but he's got about 25 seconds left 05:34:49.220 --> 05:34:50.220 in order to do this. 05:34:50.220 --> 05:34:52.740 Likely to have to take a hatch drop as well, 05:34:52.740 --> 05:34:54.980 because he's a good distance from any stairs. 05:34:54.980 --> 05:34:57.180 Nice 3v1 for him, 1v1. 05:34:57.180 --> 05:35:01.180 about 15 seconds left he's gonna switch to the pistol drop down you can start 05:35:01.180 --> 05:35:05.020 playing with the diffuser a little bit here spike is on a very long row to 05:35:05.020 --> 05:35:07.500 manage to get up above it's gonna be close 05:35:07.500 --> 05:35:14.780 it's still gets the kill anyway Tim what are you doing to us 05:35:14.780 --> 05:35:19.260 aura farming Tim that's what you've just witnessed aura farming welcome to the 05:35:19.260 --> 05:35:24.220 montage yeah hi Rick I honestly 05:35:24.220 --> 05:35:26.940 thought he was gonna stick it and see the disabled come on through 05:35:26.940 --> 05:35:30.540 But, man saw a chance to pad out the KD a little bit further. Why not? 05:35:30.540 --> 05:35:34.240 Tell you what, that took some nerve coming off and going for that fight. 05:35:34.240 --> 05:35:38.440 But, he gets it won, and I think Wildcard, they're going to be kicking themselves there. 05:35:38.440 --> 05:35:41.240 I said Dark Zero, what really solid round one. 05:35:41.240 --> 05:35:44.740 Didn't look decent round two, but it was a good attack from Wildcard. 05:35:44.740 --> 05:35:48.540 Bage is taking an opportunity, seeing that chance to walk down, 05:35:48.540 --> 05:35:51.340 get himself a couple of kills and just take over site. 05:35:51.340 --> 05:35:56.640 It was good from Wildcard, but you're going to have to win those rounds. 05:35:56.640 --> 05:36:04.440 They're the ones, you're not gonna get loads of opportunities against ArtZero, so you can't let him slip through your fingers like that. 05:36:04.440 --> 05:36:09.640 We cast Labs earlier on over on the B stream when we cast our first series of the day between Labo and Loss, 05:36:09.640 --> 05:36:14.640 and there were many rounds that we felt you were probably described as a bit of a throw. 05:36:14.640 --> 05:36:19.640 Once where a team had a very, very convincing advantage, when Bayard dropped down and got three kills for his team, 05:36:19.640 --> 05:36:25.640 after they'd lost Baby Shark, I was like, wow, 4v2. It's gonna be so hard to lose this round if user goes down, I thought. 05:36:25.640 --> 05:36:31.120 This is so enough and done as you say those are the kind of rounds that you will later look back on and say 05:36:31.280 --> 05:36:37.040 We should not a ball that if it comes down to very very close into this game is 75 to DZ wild card 05:36:37.040 --> 05:36:40.420 We'll be kicking themselves about round two either way 05:36:40.420 --> 05:36:45.360 That's us down with two into the third site of the quarter and then I imagine lots of have the operator man 05:36:45.360 --> 05:36:47.980 We will go back through the same three-site rotation 05:36:49.120 --> 05:36:52.220 Storage while card needs to be looking for vertical control here 05:36:52.220 --> 05:36:56.220 to kick things off. They don't have the ram on side in this roundup they've had in prior, 05:36:56.220 --> 05:36:59.580 but I still expect them to go upstairs and ensure they've got vertical control before 05:36:59.580 --> 05:37:04.540 thinking about an execute. Yeah, you would expect so. I mean, looking across the Dark Zero line-up, 05:37:04.540 --> 05:37:10.220 you've got three of them up there, Thulce, Jane, I know, and Kino. So definitely need 05:37:10.220 --> 05:37:14.540 to be dealing with those. Kino's going to be playing over at Aquari. He's got support on 05:37:14.540 --> 05:37:20.380 Warehouse Catwalk. We've got Goyle Canisters. We've got a serious investment up here on this 05:37:20.380 --> 05:37:25.100 top floor to try and keep a hold of it. And you can see why because it is one of those 05:37:25.100 --> 05:37:30.260 power positions. Warehouse wall is going to be opened up. So that's going to be a little 05:37:30.260 --> 05:37:34.380 bit of pressure for J9O. He needs to be careful of his angles now because he can be challenged 05:37:34.380 --> 05:37:40.020 from below on that wall. Also going to prevent any rotations underneath. I'm going to have 05:37:40.020 --> 05:37:42.220 further breaching going on. This time IT wall. 05:37:42.220 --> 05:37:55.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, it happens. Okay, he's charging to fire and burned to death. 05:37:55.540 --> 05:37:59.100 It works. She released inside of control and now looking to go for this West Side Plant 05:37:59.100 --> 05:38:01.140 thing. So forgotten about trying to go for storage altogether. 05:38:01.140 --> 05:38:06.020 Instead, control is the target. The bolt cam now taken out as Bay gets NJR. 05:38:06.020 --> 05:38:09.980 News is inside of control, though I'm not sure that they accounted for him as he manages 05:38:09.980 --> 05:38:11.980 to get the trade takes down 05:38:11.980 --> 05:38:13.980 and that takes a little bit of 05:38:13.980 --> 05:38:15.980 the power behind this push away 05:38:15.980 --> 05:38:17.980 and wildcard they need to go back to the drawing board 05:38:17.980 --> 05:38:19.980 spiker has been forced away with the fuser 05:38:19.980 --> 05:38:21.980 in hand but 05:38:21.980 --> 05:38:23.980 how much control can dark zero muster 05:38:23.980 --> 05:38:25.980 from above? Kino going to be taken 05:38:25.980 --> 05:38:27.980 down by the Blitz and they decide here 05:38:27.980 --> 05:38:29.980 wildcard that they need to get up there 05:38:29.980 --> 05:38:31.980 and make sure that they've got top floor cleared out. 05:38:31.980 --> 05:38:33.980 And is that last phone call coming out 05:38:33.980 --> 05:38:35.980 from baby shark two the final three players 05:38:35.980 --> 05:38:37.980 all being tagged out they'll know that they're nearby 05:38:37.980 --> 05:38:40.580 Surely baby shark knows off towards his left. 05:38:40.580 --> 05:38:42.020 Faults is just ready and waiting. 05:38:42.020 --> 05:38:43.780 He's literally in the room next door to my man. 05:38:43.780 --> 05:38:46.100 Once he's been in, but I think maybe slightly conscious 05:38:46.100 --> 05:38:49.060 of the longer angles that could be being held onto him here. 05:38:49.060 --> 05:38:50.700 Also, of course, verticals. 05:38:50.700 --> 05:38:51.540 He's got the right idea. 05:38:51.540 --> 05:38:52.900 There are players upstairs, Tim, 05:38:52.900 --> 05:38:55.100 but not currently over his head. 05:38:55.100 --> 05:38:57.300 Faults, I think, are aware that there's somebody outside of here. 05:38:57.300 --> 05:38:59.500 He doesn't need to get aggressive at the end of the day. 05:38:59.500 --> 05:39:02.420 He's the defender and can just wait this out. 05:39:02.420 --> 05:39:04.140 The clock works in his favor. 05:39:04.140 --> 05:39:07.500 Baby shark takes the keeper barricade as an opportunity 05:39:07.500 --> 05:39:12.780 the class across. Nice. Gonna see Kansan picking up Neewer's 3 vs 2 now. 20 seconds. I like 05:39:12.780 --> 05:39:17.420 this from Wildcard and how patient it's been. There's been no rush, no worry in them. They've 05:39:17.420 --> 05:39:21.900 taken their time, they've solved the problems and Spiker is now gonna be getting that diffuser 05:39:21.900 --> 05:39:26.020 down on the ground. Nobody can do anything about it. J9O is gonna be cut down as he tries 05:39:26.020 --> 05:39:31.500 to challenge a good attack from Wildcard. The immediate plan of getting into site didn't 05:39:31.500 --> 05:39:36.540 work. Neewer's put a stop to it. So Spiker called an adaptation. Get upstairs, get them 05:39:36.540 --> 05:39:41.900 clear it out, move back down, use the clock, use the time that we've got. No rush, no panic, 05:39:41.900 --> 05:39:43.660 and it was good stuff from Wildcard. 05:39:43.660 --> 05:39:47.020 The key thing that happened there, Jane on over sat inside a warehouse with the majority 05:39:47.020 --> 05:39:50.900 of the round on his army, just watching down control corridor, knowing that they'd already 05:39:50.900 --> 05:39:54.240 pushed past it into War's cargo, and at that point they couldn't easily pull back without 05:39:54.240 --> 05:39:57.380 taking the gun fight. And so like you say, going upstairs, he's like, okay, if they now 05:39:57.380 --> 05:40:01.540 appear above me, I'm a dead man, then fled off into War's storage to go and support 05:40:01.540 --> 05:40:05.540 Faults. And that was when the boys said, right, now we can drop back out, get back into control 05:40:05.540 --> 05:40:10.220 corridor and then hit the site. Really well managed by wildcard overall who've 05:40:10.220 --> 05:40:14.060 you guys seen got their first round there's a tack timeout calling from them 05:40:14.060 --> 05:40:17.020 you'd probably be surprised by that given they're just one around but now that 05:40:17.020 --> 05:40:19.500 we've seen three sites and they're thinking okay attack is where we're 05:40:19.500 --> 05:40:23.580 really gonna win or lose this game call an attack timeout discuss those three 05:40:23.580 --> 05:40:26.900 sites we've just seen what needs to change how can we overcome what we've 05:40:26.900 --> 05:40:30.100 seen against Dark Zero but all things considered Tim they probably should be 05:40:30.100 --> 05:40:34.140 up two and one. Yeah I think there was definitely an opportunity there for 05:40:34.140 --> 05:40:38.100 them on the basement they'll know that and they're doing pretty well at the 05:40:38.100 --> 05:40:42.540 minute like we said obviously you know a slightly unusual situation for them 05:40:42.540 --> 05:40:45.940 having hot and cold on the standing but the thing is as the tournament progresses 05:40:45.940 --> 05:40:49.420 as well the more games that they have the stronger wildcard are gonna become 05:40:49.420 --> 05:40:53.220 each time because it's just basically every day that passes is another day 05:40:53.220 --> 05:40:57.360 that our goal can learn can settle in can you know become familiar that they'll 05:40:57.360 --> 05:41:02.100 start playing in their own style you know for this tournament at least so it 05:41:02.100 --> 05:41:06.400 It certainly doesn't hurt them, but right now, I think DarkZero will be happy with that as well. 05:41:06.400 --> 05:41:09.700 You know, it was a good clutch up to get the second round done. 05:41:09.700 --> 05:41:12.000 They were really solid on this top floor. 05:41:12.000 --> 05:41:16.600 If they can continue that through and take a 4-2 on defense on a map that's not their pick, 05:41:16.600 --> 05:41:18.400 I think they're going to be happy enough with that. 05:41:18.400 --> 05:41:22.500 Of course, the Thermite taking away along with the Mirror. 05:41:22.500 --> 05:41:27.000 Now, I didn't see Mirror at all in that first quarter, but I suspect it's more a... 05:41:27.000 --> 05:41:28.200 ...anticipatory band. 05:41:28.200 --> 05:41:31.400 I think that now that we're going into the second quarter, we'll see a bunch of different loose tracks come out. 05:41:31.400 --> 05:41:41.200 One of those likely involving a mirror as they're taking it offline is the way to go and the thermite on the other side only saw it in one round, but as we know opens up some pretty epic big holes. 05:41:41.200 --> 05:41:50.600 So take it offline, force them to have to shift things around a little bit further with a Hibana and also likely have to commit some secondary gadget slots to hard breach charge, 05:41:50.600 --> 05:41:56.000 which is exactly what you're seeing here, hot and cold with two and cans and jumping onto the striker to bring along two more. 05:41:56.000 --> 05:42:03.400 Exactly the same lineup has been brought along by DarkZero as they had in round 1, which is not too much of a surprise given how successful it was. 05:42:03.400 --> 05:42:14.800 The setup is the same, we've got NJR playing the shield inside, Electrical newest is looking for a little peek here outside of the window, not going to get any joy, I don't think Wildcard won't give him anything quite so easily. 05:42:14.800 --> 05:42:21.800 Foltz is poised on the clash here to go on Aqua Stairs, but he's going to shift across I think to Connector now 05:42:21.800 --> 05:42:25.800 and just make sure that he's there ready for any push coming in to the outside or maybe IT. 05:42:25.800 --> 05:42:32.800 This is exactly where he played last time, so this is actually a really interesting opportunity to see for Wildcard how well they develop. 05:42:32.800 --> 05:42:36.800 Like you say, they've changed their approach a little bit, brought some different utility. 05:42:36.800 --> 05:42:41.800 You know, how well do they adapt to what went wrong last time because they are playing into the same thing. 05:42:41.800 --> 05:42:46.220 I also went to Valor very strictly, and I saw this first picked up in round 1, but that 05:42:46.220 --> 05:42:47.220 sure is a card here. 05:42:47.220 --> 05:42:50.060 And anticipating their attacking downstairs, they'll six pick it out later. 05:42:50.060 --> 05:42:51.980 Well, I'd re-pick it out later. 05:42:51.980 --> 05:42:53.500 One about the years on a six pick. 05:42:53.500 --> 05:42:54.500 Wow. 05:42:54.500 --> 05:42:55.940 But no, it's more, I think, to help deal with the clash. 05:42:55.940 --> 05:42:56.940 They acknowledged it, it's available. 05:42:56.940 --> 05:42:57.940 They know they're going to be running it. 05:42:57.940 --> 05:43:00.700 And so a couple of times down, we've seen them tagging up folks. 05:43:00.700 --> 05:43:04.020 My main concern was last time back in round 1, they had the tag come through. 05:43:04.020 --> 05:43:05.860 I was like, cool, they can go forward from that. 05:43:05.860 --> 05:43:07.900 And then didn't, because the warden wasn't tagged out. 05:43:07.900 --> 05:43:11.380 He was still able to deal with the flashes in the smokes that were coming on through. 05:43:11.380 --> 05:43:13.540 So I think it's going to be more of the same here. 05:43:13.540 --> 05:43:17.220 Look, you're really smart about how they'd break open this IT hold. 05:43:17.220 --> 05:43:24.540 Multiple EMPs used there to deal with kind of the ADS bulletproof camera, clashing IT area. 05:43:24.540 --> 05:43:26.780 But nothing really gained on the back of it. 05:43:26.780 --> 05:43:29.060 They've not been able to go in and get any ground here. 05:43:29.060 --> 05:43:31.060 Wildcard, nobody's really been dislodged. 05:43:31.060 --> 05:43:34.740 When I look at the Dark Zero setup now, it's the same as it was. 05:43:34.740 --> 05:43:38.180 Bay is going to push in now that that bulletproof camera is taken down. 05:43:38.180 --> 05:43:40.180 This is what they were aiming for. 05:43:40.180 --> 05:43:42.420 They've had Baywalking to site a few times. 05:43:42.420 --> 05:43:43.420 He takes the clash. 05:43:43.420 --> 05:43:45.980 Can he get J9 or as well as he certainly can. 05:43:45.980 --> 05:43:48.180 That is what they were looking for. 05:43:48.180 --> 05:43:50.460 They didn't manage it the first couple of attempts, 05:43:50.460 --> 05:43:53.740 but third time lucky, it's worked a treat for Wildcard. 05:43:53.740 --> 05:43:55.820 Extremely well managed and coordinated. 05:43:55.820 --> 05:43:58.220 Bay again, being that guy, going big for them 05:43:58.220 --> 05:43:59.900 after using a lot of his utility. 05:43:59.900 --> 05:44:02.300 A 4v1 doesn't even need the diffuser to go down to him 05:44:02.300 --> 05:44:05.020 as Kanzan picks up the final two from Pillar. 05:44:05.020 --> 05:44:06.380 Very convincing rounds. 05:44:06.380 --> 05:44:08.300 Yeah, you see it's the Clashers' movement 05:44:08.300 --> 05:44:09.180 that allows that there. 05:44:09.180 --> 05:44:14.520 So the first time that those EMPs had come in, we saw that Fultz was knocking about on IT doors. 05:44:14.520 --> 05:44:17.480 So Bay has no opportunity to be able to walk in there. 05:44:17.480 --> 05:44:22.980 But as soon as Fultz moves away back to Pillar, I think there's a little bit of pressure applied there by Hot and Cold. 05:44:22.980 --> 05:44:25.420 He comes in and says, right, I'll give him something to think about. 05:44:25.420 --> 05:44:27.380 Fultz moves out and then straight away. 05:44:27.380 --> 05:44:32.780 It's like, take down the bulletproof cam, Bay goes in, two kills, gets Fultz in the back, 05:44:32.780 --> 05:44:37.780 which is a beauty for them taking the clash off the board and then also clearing out Catwalk. 05:44:37.780 --> 05:44:41.860 the round is done at that point. Really, really well worked from Wildcard. 05:44:41.860 --> 05:44:47.260 Exactly what I would expect of a Lugonis team like that led by Spiker as well. 05:44:47.260 --> 05:44:50.460 Just, you know, strategically, it's so, so tight. 05:44:51.460 --> 05:44:54.940 Let's see if they can even build in on that lead then Tim, that's two in a row now. 05:44:54.940 --> 05:44:56.140 And again, it could even have been a three. 05:44:56.140 --> 05:44:59.380 One, if you look back at that second round that they all said all day of the week. 05:44:59.380 --> 05:45:01.940 Well, every day of the week, they should have had it over the line. 05:45:01.940 --> 05:45:05.020 Alas, this is Siege and Fultz had a pretty nice clutch. 05:45:05.020 --> 05:45:07.460 Looking at the line-up change, they've seen quite a bit of a shift away 05:45:07.460 --> 05:45:11.700 from what we've seen historically. So rather than going in towards a very, very dug in defensive style, 05:45:11.700 --> 05:45:16.100 we've still got a little bit of that one on the chanker. Otherwise, they've got three operators 05:45:16.100 --> 05:45:20.500 that want to go absolutely bananas around the map. Jane Arnaud being on the Thorn, of course, 05:45:20.500 --> 05:45:24.980 Nua's on the Ella, and then Pino being on the Soul. It's between them all because a lot of trouble 05:45:24.980 --> 05:45:29.940 and slowdown wildcard. So really, the aim of this lineup is to get out in the map, to be busy, 05:45:29.940 --> 05:45:34.980 to get a couple of kills ideally before wildcard get a chance to even start sniffing at the site. 05:45:34.980 --> 05:45:40.820 and you can see that now since you're running so ready to to have a look at it 05:45:40.820 --> 05:45:44.820 but newest things better of it I'm gonna get himself back inside of the mark 05:45:44.820 --> 05:45:49.220 having a look at that top floor Jane I know and folks are the ones up there 05:45:49.220 --> 05:45:53.340 again we saw them last time around do some good work they wasted about a minute 05:45:53.340 --> 05:45:57.020 50 up here took a little bit of damage along the way but dealt some out and 05:45:57.020 --> 05:46:02.260 it's again a real commitment up there with the Vulcan canisters and the utility 05:46:02.260 --> 05:46:04.260 try and help them stay up there. 05:46:04.260 --> 05:46:05.260 This is going to be the whole thing, 05:46:05.260 --> 05:46:07.260 like trying to waste as much time as you can around the map 05:46:07.260 --> 05:46:09.260 if you can get a couple of kills. 05:46:09.260 --> 05:46:10.260 The way it's come back fire though, 05:46:10.260 --> 05:46:11.260 as you start losing players, 05:46:11.260 --> 05:46:12.260 you start exposing gaps in the lineup, 05:46:12.260 --> 05:46:14.260 and while this sort of thing happens, 05:46:14.260 --> 05:46:16.260 Bay, but not the first time this game, 05:46:16.260 --> 05:46:17.260 is going for a march in towards site. 05:46:17.260 --> 05:46:19.260 Last time he got three kills down here, 05:46:19.260 --> 05:46:21.260 just playing a little bit of ring around the roses here 05:46:21.260 --> 05:46:23.260 with NGR, who so far is in great work. 05:46:23.260 --> 05:46:25.260 Here he comes, burning out Bay, 05:46:25.260 --> 05:46:26.260 aiming at the floor, 05:46:26.260 --> 05:46:28.260 and Bay has got nothing he can do about it. 05:46:28.260 --> 05:46:29.260 Great play by NGR. 05:46:29.260 --> 05:46:31.260 Yeah, he's dealt with that situation well. 05:46:31.260 --> 05:46:35.760 Well, like I say, you know, fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me 05:46:35.760 --> 05:46:39.940 There's absolutely no shame on dark zero there as we go allow it to happen second time 05:46:40.140 --> 05:46:46.340 NGL manages to get another baby shark on to full so that's one of the Romans taking down three versus three as they try to push 05:46:46.340 --> 05:46:51.900 Directly into site here with Spiker. Maybe thinking about just getting a plant on that door if they can get sufficient cover 05:46:53.260 --> 05:46:54.860 Thinking about it 05:46:54.860 --> 05:46:59.060 But like you say the covers got to be good enough of NGR gets into the right spot 05:46:59.060 --> 05:47:03.660 It could be dangerous, but he's currently guys attention towards cargo. I'm not a hundred percent sure that they're aware 05:47:07.660 --> 05:47:12.100 We're not gonna be able to tear his way through the smite is just to cover the sale Mary and let's get it going 05:47:12.100 --> 05:47:16.700 That's it. The ram is just covering the sound it's preventing them knowing that the plant is going down 05:47:16.700 --> 05:47:21.900 That's like it is gonna be successful on the retake. He know managers to take the shield down 05:47:21.900 --> 05:47:23.700 That is a big kill for dark zero 05:47:23.700 --> 05:47:30.000 But baby shark manages to get himself one and having him up above is going to be the win condition here 05:47:30.000 --> 05:47:33.320 Just getting that ram to be able to hold on to the diffuser 05:47:33.320 --> 05:47:39.400 He needs to be aware of this flank that is coming off and he is beautiful stuff by baby shark 05:47:39.400 --> 05:47:42.440 He's just won the round for wild card. I really feel for energy ox 05:47:42.440 --> 05:47:45.760 It's been such a good job this round some of those angles on the chanker have been fantastic 05:47:45.760 --> 05:47:48.520 His little dance with Bay also a big success for him 05:47:48.520 --> 05:47:52.380 The wild card just a bit too hard to slow down here. Unfortunately Tim 05:47:52.380 --> 05:47:57.580 That's three in a row and three attacking rounds on one of these he's favorite maps 05:47:57.580 --> 05:48:01.200 I certainly won't be complaining about that. Not really good stuff 05:48:01.200 --> 05:48:04.360 I think Lagonas will be very happy with what he's seeing at the minute 05:48:04.360 --> 05:48:08.760 They've been absolutely clinical those last few rounds coming in, you know first two rounds 05:48:08.760 --> 05:48:13.320 I thought Dark Zero looked great and predicted coming in that I expected them to maybe have 05:48:13.320 --> 05:48:15.320 have a better day of things 05:48:15.320 --> 05:48:17.320 given that Wildcard have the 05:48:17.320 --> 05:48:18.320 sub there. Darkzero know them 05:48:18.320 --> 05:48:19.320 very well. They should be able 05:48:19.320 --> 05:48:21.320 to take advantage of that, but 05:48:21.320 --> 05:48:23.320 it's just not playing out that 05:48:23.320 --> 05:48:25.320 way. Wildcard showing that they 05:48:25.320 --> 05:48:27.320 are very, very clean, very tight, 05:48:27.320 --> 05:48:29.320 playing great Siege, really 05:48:29.320 --> 05:48:31.320 impressed with those last couple 05:48:31.320 --> 05:48:32.320 of rounds. 3-2 and they could 05:48:32.320 --> 05:48:34.320 well take a 4-2 attack in half. 05:48:34.320 --> 05:48:36.320 Now there's one hell of a turnaround 05:48:36.320 --> 05:48:37.320 given how the first two rounds 05:48:37.320 --> 05:48:39.320 went. Four in a row is 05:48:39.320 --> 05:48:41.320 Finger Dreams. Set up, although 05:48:41.320 --> 05:48:44.320 set up although it is still leaning very heavily into these trap operators Tim at 05:48:44.320 --> 05:48:48.320 least on this top floor to try and slow time down isn't a drastic it's a lot 05:48:48.320 --> 05:48:51.520 like what we saw on an early defensive this site of course the shield facing 05:48:51.520 --> 05:48:54.760 off and towards connected for example a bunch of the denier tripwires going down 05:48:54.760 --> 05:48:58.160 upstairs to waste time and newers looking to give support from below most 05:48:58.160 --> 05:49:02.760 likely on this solace we're there to make sure his team stay informed as I said 05:49:02.760 --> 05:49:06.760 before these trap operators are all about wasting time to the wildcard it's a 05:49:06.760 --> 05:49:10.360 case of speed how fast can they move through this there's a lot of the line 05:49:10.360 --> 05:49:14.440 they've got Tim it screams to me they want to be looking at that site as soon as possible. 05:49:14.440 --> 05:49:19.000 Yeah exactly that, get the smokes down, use the glass, play the Ings in there, 05:49:19.000 --> 05:49:24.440 just make it as difficult as possible for Dark Zero to get themselves comfortable on this one I 05:49:24.440 --> 05:49:29.240 think. We're going to see breaching going on immediately, connector wall has been breached, 05:49:29.240 --> 05:49:34.520 IT wall will be next, so that's going to be the access that they would be looking for, 05:49:34.520 --> 05:49:38.360 North Atcher this time around so it's going to be a slightly different game plan, they know they're 05:49:38.360 --> 05:49:43.680 They're not gonna get away with walking baying through it this time. What's cancer thinking this to me Tim screens? 05:49:43.680 --> 05:49:47.320 Yeah, our spike is there ready and waiting racers on your marks 05:49:49.240 --> 05:49:52.440 There's actually one countdown yet there we go now we're going in 05:49:52.440 --> 05:49:57.240 Let's see what we could find on our charge up the double impacts on towards these windows gets him in and charging 05:49:57.240 --> 05:50:02.640 And that's what he's dead to right great little bit of clean play coming up from wild card cancer into a second 05:50:02.640 --> 05:50:06.280 Tim they've run them over already and surely now it's a case of closing out a 5v3 05:50:06.280 --> 05:50:14.080 Meanwhile, Hot and Cold has moved his way into IT. He could have a big impact here as well. Still 4 versus 3. 05:50:14.080 --> 05:50:19.180 Hot and Cold just getting pinned down a little bit, but Spiker is getting the plant down. There you go. 05:50:19.180 --> 05:50:22.380 That's the impact that they needed from Hot and Cold. But how about this? 05:50:22.380 --> 05:50:28.380 J-9-0 is able to walk through site, stop the plant and bring it back to Dark Zero. 05:50:28.380 --> 05:50:31.380 NJR with the final kill and a 3-3 half. 05:50:32.180 --> 05:50:33.380 Wow. What? 05:50:33.380 --> 05:50:43.380 What? That was going so well! It was so clean from Wildcard! Punished 2 players very fast, got into a 5v3 with 2 minutes still in the clock! 05:50:43.380 --> 05:50:46.380 And then it all collapses. Let's take a listen in to the hard time. 05:50:46.380 --> 05:50:50.380 On the D.V.S. side bulk, if we go to overtime, you're avoiding command. We need to avoid that site right now. 05:50:50.380 --> 05:50:53.380 We're giving them too much space up and they're able to just fucking crank it. 05:50:53.380 --> 05:50:57.380 Browertas, let's go supply and then end the basement. 05:50:57.380 --> 05:51:01.380 And honestly too, we still have the clash up. You could even make a sketch in it. 05:51:01.380 --> 05:51:05.300 Overall, if we're going to go to like the mid-sites right there, like either the kitchen 05:51:05.300 --> 05:51:08.500 or the supply, play it out, consolidate it more so as to like the horror area. 05:51:08.500 --> 05:51:12.220 So like extend out the kitchen area off that, like if it is supply, if it's kitchen, extend 05:51:12.220 --> 05:51:15.140 out its supply area and mainly focusing, consolidate it like in the horror area and like extend out 05:51:15.140 --> 05:51:17.080 that way instead of vertically because when we're doing that, we're giving them too much 05:51:17.080 --> 05:51:19.500 gaps and just taking them between us right now. 05:51:19.500 --> 05:51:20.500 Same applies for basement. 05:51:20.500 --> 05:51:24.700 Prioritize like if anything, maybe more of like a fucking 31S scheme, keep one site, three 05:51:24.700 --> 05:51:27.940 horror and then like one top just to be a fucking nuisance waste of it. 05:51:27.940 --> 05:51:28.940 Okay, that's our base. 05:51:28.940 --> 05:51:29.940 Yeah, exactly. 05:51:29.940 --> 05:51:31.940 just focus on the traps for the extenders on that. 05:51:31.940 --> 05:51:32.940 Yeah. 05:51:32.940 --> 05:51:33.940 Okay. 05:51:33.940 --> 05:51:35.500 And then on the attack set, fellas, we already know the plan. 05:51:35.500 --> 05:51:37.380 I'm not going to say it again. 05:51:37.380 --> 05:51:39.300 Just keep it creative here, what we're looking for. 05:51:39.300 --> 05:51:41.260 Like we have the crank set up for command. 05:51:41.260 --> 05:51:44.620 If that doesn't pan out for whatever reason on the other sites, don't be afraid if we 05:51:44.620 --> 05:51:46.420 fucking need to call someone else, call someone else here. 05:51:46.420 --> 05:51:48.620 Push the zones a bit deep, get the information, let's crank it. 05:51:48.620 --> 05:51:49.620 Yeah, heard. 05:51:49.620 --> 05:51:50.940 You want us to run that command off-rib, right? 05:51:50.940 --> 05:51:53.660 Mito floor, it's my coccisional, that's Mito floor, right? 05:51:53.660 --> 05:51:54.660 One more. 05:51:54.660 --> 05:51:59.220 On the XO half though, like if they have Monty, the storage guy can't kill him. 05:51:59.220 --> 05:52:05.180 doesn't matter you literally can't shoot them okay I think this is of course I 05:52:05.180 --> 05:52:08.100 think if you guys see the moment so guys I already have one more in 05:52:08.100 --> 05:52:11.740 condition we can pick two boys in the bomb site we drop one more small in 05:52:11.740 --> 05:52:14.540 that case Jake can I say this type of assembly storage and shotgun drop small 05:52:14.540 --> 05:52:20.220 so I have sharks before possibly of course out of code so far true so I think 05:52:20.220 --> 05:52:22.460 that's something if you guys see the moment we can make two players bomb site 05:52:22.460 --> 05:52:26.340 spike your hot and cold and shark on them other thing remember I have their own 05:52:26.340 --> 05:52:28.580 on the other baseman defense, understand? 05:52:28.580 --> 05:52:29.580 If it was good, you guys repeat. 05:52:29.580 --> 05:52:30.940 If it is more like we needed something, 05:52:30.940 --> 05:52:32.420 oh, there, like emotional pressure is taking, 05:52:32.420 --> 05:52:33.260 we can do the bunker, 05:52:33.260 --> 05:52:34.540 we have the clash to do the retake, right? 05:52:34.540 --> 05:52:35.380 We talk about it. 05:52:35.380 --> 05:52:36.300 If you guys need more aggressive, 05:52:36.300 --> 05:52:38.380 we can do the default that we talk, right? 05:52:38.380 --> 05:52:40.300 First of all, to be careful the direct ball side, 05:52:40.300 --> 05:52:41.380 especially motor rafters, 05:52:41.380 --> 05:52:43.140 we talk about the assembly smoke. 05:52:46.500 --> 05:52:49.260 Well, both coaches there coming in 05:52:49.260 --> 05:52:51.780 with very strong direction, I think, 05:52:51.780 --> 05:52:54.820 call out more concerned about what had gone 05:52:54.820 --> 05:52:56.500 rather than what was coming. 05:52:56.500 --> 05:52:59.460 He was confident that his team already had the plans in place 05:52:59.460 --> 05:53:02.020 of what they need to do on the attack. 05:53:02.020 --> 05:53:03.900 Lagorn is focusing there, of course, 05:53:03.900 --> 05:53:07.220 on what they are going to be doing on that defense. 05:53:07.220 --> 05:53:09.540 But a good game so far, to be honest, 05:53:09.540 --> 05:53:11.700 with you very, very solid from both sides. 05:53:11.700 --> 05:53:15.460 3-3, both definitely winning the rounds they've been having. 05:53:15.460 --> 05:53:17.340 I think Wildcard were a bit unfortunate on this, 05:53:17.340 --> 05:53:18.180 to be honest. 05:53:18.180 --> 05:53:19.020 I'd be interested to see. 05:53:19.020 --> 05:53:20.260 It was that kill there, I think, 05:53:20.260 --> 05:53:22.180 that just like frees it up a little bit. 05:53:22.180 --> 05:53:27.580 losing the glass that allows Gen 9 to get active inside a site and he just 05:53:27.580 --> 05:53:30.420 dismantles them. How on earth has he managed to make that cross in front of 05:53:30.420 --> 05:53:35.460 two people? I'll never know. It was biblical. But all that matters, Sim, is it's an even 05:53:35.460 --> 05:53:38.780 score line and that could mean we start going to, again a reminder the last time 05:53:38.780 --> 05:53:44.020 these two teams played a kickoff, 42 of 45 rounds was required. I'm not saying 05:53:44.020 --> 05:53:47.940 today necessarily is going to require that many, but as this has started so far, 05:53:47.940 --> 05:53:51.100 it's looking like a pretty close affair and I do view the quality of seeing just 05:53:51.100 --> 05:54:06.100 I mean, you know, that's what we would always hope for at a big event like this, but, you know, it's not always possible for the teams to deliver on the day necessarily, but I think these two are playing, you know, some absolutely great siege even by their own high standards. 05:54:06.100 --> 05:54:16.100 And it's an enjoyable experience at the minute. So first site choice out of wildcard. We heard Odomis speaking about it, but it's going to be control and storage. 05:54:16.100 --> 05:54:22.100 Alright, certainly a way to try things. Normally your two teams go downstairs or upstairs and then go to the other 05:54:22.100 --> 05:54:26.100 and then control and storage would be the offside. But we also saw it run by games earlier. 05:54:26.100 --> 05:54:31.100 Off the back of the TAC timeout in round 12, we then saw Waybird choose to take us over towards the kitchen site 05:54:31.100 --> 05:54:37.100 anticipating that all the conversation during that TAC timeout would have been a standard one of the three sides that we go to. 05:54:37.100 --> 05:54:45.100 So here, maybe it's just a slight attempt to try and throw things off, or perhaps Wildcard have got to set it down very, very confident in for this site in particular. 05:54:45.100 --> 05:54:54.340 to above baby shark and be they're going to be tasked with holding on to the verticals for as long as possible baby shark and it be on that catwalk 05:54:54.340 --> 05:54:57.860 But how about this new as it's made his way quickly into the basement? 05:54:57.980 --> 05:55:00.340 So they know that there's nobody playing underneath 05:55:00.820 --> 05:55:05.860 Canson on the solace would have been a concern for them as to where he was located with that scanner 05:55:06.260 --> 05:55:11.780 New as though having not found anybody in the basement now as an opportunity to maybe have a little 05:55:11.780 --> 05:55:17.720 Cup stairs and he could just pop up in a little bit of a surprise location for the defenders 05:55:17.720 --> 05:55:22.140 They get cans and that would be absolutely massive because naturally running around on the soul 05:55:22.140 --> 05:55:27.780 This has got a lot of work to do later in the round is as early on to you can be excellent for the plank denial 05:55:27.780 --> 05:55:29.540 As soon in the tent comes on through 05:55:29.540 --> 05:55:33.400 But he gets of course shut down by new is here then having a very very good conversation 05:55:33.700 --> 05:55:37.820 The cans and is keeping himself busy and away from that elsewhere as you can see on the top floor 05:55:37.820 --> 05:55:42.040 There's a lot of work going on to ensure that Dark Zero can get the top floor control that they need 05:55:42.040 --> 05:55:46.820 and then start getting some of the floor opened up so they can see what's going on inside a site underneath their kit. 05:55:46.820 --> 05:55:51.820 Yeah, I'm gonna push forward, baby shot. I can bear both in force back towards Aqua Stairs. 05:55:51.820 --> 05:55:58.820 So top floor is largely in the control of Dark Zero now, but this is one little corner of the world. 05:55:58.820 --> 05:56:01.820 Yeah, they still need to be very aware of dealing with this. 05:56:01.820 --> 05:56:05.820 They can't necessarily just ignore it because it is like playing with a wasp in the room. 05:56:05.820 --> 05:56:10.260 They've got that threat on the flight. They've got all those keeper barricades to hide behind 05:56:10.980 --> 05:56:16.740 Beautifully done as they open the angle baby shark has to move NJRs. They're ready and waiting 05:56:16.740 --> 05:56:18.860 He was just tried to make his way upstairs 05:56:18.860 --> 05:56:23.940 But a little bit ineffectual so far he's gonna drop back down to XO and just kind of hold 05:56:23.940 --> 05:56:27.300 I think he's happy to play underneath now knowing that canton's on the board 05:56:27.620 --> 05:56:31.280 There's a response coming in from wild card who doing all they can to try and bring Kino down 05:56:31.280 --> 05:56:34.140 He's stupidly low at this point about 10hp to his name 05:56:34.700 --> 05:56:36.480 It'll take him one shot. It'll be enough 05:56:36.480 --> 05:56:41.180 But Andrea there with the bait to play alongside the shield they get away with what they need to him all the kills 05:56:41.180 --> 05:56:44.640 Racking up and it's a 5v2 hot and cold and spiker 05:56:44.840 --> 05:56:48.820 Let's try and salvage this round. Yeah with this all this off the board 05:56:48.820 --> 05:56:54.020 You've got to say this heavily favours darks here or now as they managed to find the kill onto hot and cold 05:56:54.020 --> 05:56:57.620 Kino's done some serious work on that shield getting himself a kill 05:56:57.620 --> 05:57:03.560 He was put in the diffuser down as well didn't end up having time those the final kill came in flawless round and dark 05:57:03.560 --> 05:57:06.720 Zero take their first attack that looked pretty convincing 05:57:06.720 --> 05:57:13.120 But it was a storage and control site not always considered kind of the strongest of them 05:57:13.120 --> 05:57:19.640 But you've got to ask the question was it the smart player to go there first the funniest thing was the the brown was really one when 05:57:19.800 --> 05:57:22.800 So it wasn't even involved. It was all going on upstairs 05:57:22.800 --> 05:57:26.360 We head downstairs to the site now so the next round I'm keen to see how it plays out 05:57:26.360 --> 05:57:30.940 But this goes back to what I spoke about in the B stream earlier throughout a lot of this tournament so far 05:57:30.940 --> 05:57:32.220 We've seen teams 05:57:32.220 --> 05:57:38.740 Not taking opportunities to make these little cute 2v1s or these 3v1s these little team plays that really see them come out on top 05:57:38.780 --> 05:57:42.820 Yeah, consistently throughout these first seven rounds. We've seen both teams doing that from DarkZero 05:57:42.820 --> 05:57:48.180 I'd say in the previous round it was the most convincing of all even when certain things started going wrong like you know 05:57:48.180 --> 05:57:52.500 Being taken down to low HP. They still had an answer a smart little play from NJR 05:58:22.500 --> 05:58:27.340 Kind of a reactive gadget, keep them in pocket and wait and see where people are coming from. 05:58:27.340 --> 05:58:30.960 They're going to be aware that the soft wall is next to the mirror. 05:58:30.960 --> 05:58:34.060 They won't know that the Nitro is in hand here from hot and cold, 05:58:34.060 --> 05:58:36.740 but I'm sure there's going to be some care taken. 05:58:36.740 --> 05:58:42.140 That said, immediate pressure moving across and opening up our animus. 05:58:42.940 --> 05:58:45.940 Yeah, the fact that he's there now with the soft wall ready to C4 to go at any time 05:58:45.940 --> 05:58:48.740 means that the attackers need to go above to force him away. 05:58:49.300 --> 05:58:52.100 Either that or you risk to C4, but the problem is you've only really got one way 05:58:52.100 --> 05:58:56.340 you can run which is backwards. If that C4 goes slightly behind you, well you're dead to right. 05:58:56.340 --> 05:58:59.780 You have to run forward and try and hide yourself in against the mirror window and then you're just 05:58:59.780 --> 05:59:04.260 asking to get hit by somebody else or by Hot and Cold if you sat on that mirror anyway. 05:59:04.820 --> 05:59:08.420 So hopefully he's being popped out there for a moment. I can't imagine too much more comes 05:59:08.420 --> 05:59:12.660 in off the back of it. That's the first phone call out of the TKV. Here another smoke pops out 05:59:12.660 --> 05:59:16.660 as well as upstairs. You can see a lot of colours, a lot of outlying signs. Move around, 05:59:16.660 --> 05:59:20.180 it's about to get exposed to the peer team. Yeah, there's only Hot and Cold on site at the 05:59:20.180 --> 05:59:21.280 at the moment. Everybody else 05:59:21.280 --> 05:59:23.780 saying that Kansan has just moved back down, 05:59:23.780 --> 05:59:26.980 but otherwise serious numbers up above from Wildcard. 05:59:26.980 --> 05:59:28.860 They commit to it and they get their kills. 05:59:28.860 --> 05:59:30.920 Bay with a double two headshots. 05:59:30.920 --> 05:59:32.980 Neuerson, J9, all taken down. 05:59:32.980 --> 05:59:35.340 Had Keenor to the list as well. 05:59:35.340 --> 05:59:36.700 That's the shield taken off. 05:59:36.700 --> 05:59:38.420 And again, it's another one of those rounds 05:59:38.420 --> 05:59:40.420 where a team just comes out, grabs hold of it 05:59:40.420 --> 05:59:41.540 and wins it does. 05:59:41.540 --> 05:59:42.380 I think that was new. 05:59:42.380 --> 05:59:44.340 It's just not acknowledging that he'd seen Bay there. 05:59:44.340 --> 05:59:46.380 And let me off the back of it into a second, 05:59:46.380 --> 05:59:48.140 then into a down onto the Monty. 05:59:48.140 --> 05:59:50.020 You can't really ask for much more than that. 05:59:50.020 --> 05:59:58.680 just goes to show sometimes at the top level, even the smallest of the potential, the smallest moment to react late to a situation can be what can cost you a round. 05:59:58.680 --> 06:00:00.180 Faults left to the 1B5. 06:00:00.180 --> 06:00:03.420 That'll be a flawless round to Wildcard in round eight. 06:00:04.920 --> 06:00:07.180 This one really is getting back and forward, isn't it? 06:00:07.180 --> 06:00:10.280 We've got to remember, of course, that this is Wildcard's choice. 06:00:10.280 --> 06:00:14.680 Second map will be Clubhouse, which is where DarkZero wanted to take us. 06:00:14.680 --> 06:00:20.220 So, of course, Wildcard are gonna be looking for as good an introduction here as they can get. 06:00:20.220 --> 06:00:25.240 Clubhouse, it's a bit of a mixed bag for them, four and four in recent history. 06:00:25.240 --> 06:00:30.020 Plenty of footage available for them as well for DarkZero to have been studying. 06:00:30.020 --> 06:00:35.980 Although, that being said, things could have changed a little bit with Hot and Cold coming in for this tournament. 06:00:35.980 --> 06:00:39.640 So, it may not always be the most valid intel. 06:00:39.640 --> 06:00:42.020 Four-four, we have on our scoreboard. 06:00:42.020 --> 06:00:44.020 We're going to move on to Kitchen. 06:00:44.020 --> 06:00:46.720 Some bold side choices coming out of Wildcard. 06:00:46.720 --> 06:00:48.720 Do not want to go near that top floor. 06:00:48.720 --> 06:00:51.520 For now, maybe they'll send us there next. 06:00:51.520 --> 06:00:52.920 Maybe it's based on banning strategy. 06:00:52.920 --> 06:00:55.220 They still feel a little bit exposed up there. 06:00:55.220 --> 06:01:00.720 Hiding away Kanzan here is tucked into the very bottom corner of Hexawand to give absolutely nothing away. 06:01:00.720 --> 06:01:03.720 He's setting of course upstairs so they don't get drones rolling on through. 06:01:03.720 --> 06:01:05.320 And just to kind of recap this moment again, 06:01:05.320 --> 06:01:08.920 it was the two kills that they found from that position that was a little bit of a stinger. 06:01:08.920 --> 06:01:11.820 Had they known he was in there, we could have had a different conversation, 06:01:11.820 --> 06:01:16.140 But this is of course why you might play a vigil sometimes you can sit the net of information 06:01:17.820 --> 06:01:19.820 I think 06:01:24.460 --> 06:01:30.240 Inbasement then of course it's unlikely I may find in for the entirety of this site because the focus will be initially 06:01:31.540 --> 06:01:33.980 I think they might have found in there. I think they might have found him Tim 06:01:34.140 --> 06:01:39.900 The problem with the pool I mean so a pool stare in basement is gonna have I would say limited impact on kitchen 06:01:39.900 --> 06:01:41.900 I mean direct impact 06:01:42.420 --> 06:01:48.340 He can feed Intel in of course he can be underneath the site and he can be using the heartbeat scanner and feeding a lot of 06:01:48.340 --> 06:01:51.380 Intel in but he can't have any direct impact. There's no vertical 06:01:52.020 --> 06:01:58.060 Available from that place up into kitchen realistically. So in terms of actual like direct impact 06:01:58.060 --> 06:02:01.820 It could have been a little bit tough for him, but as it is it doesn't really 06:02:02.780 --> 06:02:04.780 None of it's gonna be 06:02:04.780 --> 06:02:12.780 It's really unfortunate because he actually gets a good second of shooting at newers, but of course he's a thief, you know, that goes with damage. 06:02:12.780 --> 06:02:18.780 Not particularly great, and it was enough time for the newers to respond and get it free, but otherwise Camden definitely had the jump on him, just couldn't quite capitalise. 06:02:18.780 --> 06:02:24.780 Either way, Dizzy in a good position once again, 5-4. Doing a touch on the last time they played Gippa, by the way. 06:02:24.780 --> 06:02:29.780 It was a 4-4 score line back then as well, so we are very much mirroring what we've already seen before from these two teams. 06:02:29.780 --> 06:02:34.380 Folks is gonna get the boogie drone into meeting start opening up the verticals one concern 06:02:34.380 --> 06:02:38.740 I've got for this attack at the minute is there is no presence or pressure on to kitchen window 06:02:39.020 --> 06:02:43.140 Which can be one of those kind of real last gas bastions 06:02:43.340 --> 06:02:48.260 Where you will try to hold on from there as there's no verticals, but it does manage to find Achilles 06:02:49.780 --> 06:02:54.740 20 seconds ago and he continues to lock himself inside a kitchen news is low health as well 06:02:54.740 --> 06:03:14.740 4 vs 3 wildcard are holding on well here, toxic verb camester, going to do the damage that it needs to do, Kino taking out Jhin, I know onto hot and cold, 3 vs 3, 3 vs 2 effective with all the Kino down, Seize is mad, sprays him down, Darkzero have managed to bring this one back from what looked like a losing position. 06:03:14.740 --> 06:03:19.740 It's a matter of pixels there. I thought he might see the gun barrel before he saw the player, but no, he finally collects him anyway. 06:03:19.740 --> 06:03:23.740 Kino could be recovered here. We still got loads of time to play with as well, Tim. 06:03:23.740 --> 06:03:28.740 60 seconds, but look at the top of your screen here. His baby shark upstairs on the Solus. 06:03:28.740 --> 06:03:31.740 He can deny a lot from up here. Shield definitely helps. 06:03:31.740 --> 06:03:34.740 Now all we've got to do is find a safe location where the Solus won't have to stand on to them. 06:03:34.740 --> 06:03:41.740 That's the problem. I can say if they go deep into kitchen, there's nowhere that Solus can have any impact on that plant spot, 06:03:41.740 --> 06:03:43.620 and that's exactly what they're going to do. 06:03:43.620 --> 06:03:45.900 They're moving that diffuser all the way around 06:03:45.900 --> 06:03:48.060 so that they can come in from that other side. 06:03:48.060 --> 06:03:49.940 And I think we will see them, like I said, 06:03:49.940 --> 06:03:52.820 going into kitchen deep for the plant by the window. 06:03:52.820 --> 06:03:54.220 It's going to give them an opportunity 06:03:54.220 --> 06:03:55.700 to hold that from the outside. 06:03:55.700 --> 06:03:56.860 Very little can be done, 06:03:56.860 --> 06:03:58.660 new as he's holding a skinny angle. 06:03:58.660 --> 06:04:02.700 And that is a great recovery from Dark Zero, 5-4. 06:04:02.700 --> 06:04:04.020 When those two girls came in from bay 06:04:04.020 --> 06:04:05.100 and fault's in the middle of the round, 06:04:05.100 --> 06:04:06.900 I was just like, oh dear, oh dear. 06:04:06.900 --> 06:04:08.500 They're going to start letting it slip away. 06:04:08.500 --> 06:04:10.700 But again, I come back to what I spoke about before, 06:04:10.700 --> 06:04:16.300 now to isolate an individual player, punish them as a group of two or three to force them an advantage. 06:04:16.300 --> 06:04:20.860 Haven't seen them for that throughout the event, but in this game we are seeing it in spades. 06:04:20.860 --> 06:04:24.540 DarkZero up 5-14, but they're still cool in attack timeouts. 06:04:25.340 --> 06:04:30.780 Nicole, I obviously seen something that he wants to address, maybe again just giving them that 06:04:30.780 --> 06:04:35.580 opportunity for a little bit of a breather, but also feeding some information to them, maybe giving 06:04:35.580 --> 06:04:39.740 them a blueprint for the next round or two. Let's try and get this over the line. I think DarkZero 06:04:39.740 --> 06:04:44.940 know how valuable this map is if they can get this one done. I think they're very confident going 06:04:44.940 --> 06:04:52.220 into clubhouse that they can close it out in two. I think it'll be over in two. I think it could be 06:04:52.220 --> 06:04:57.580 like I said four and four a very mixed bag for wildcard as a history um on clubhouse not amazing 06:04:57.580 --> 06:05:02.060 it's dark zero choice it's not necessarily an amazing record for them they're one and two as well 06:05:02.060 --> 06:05:07.820 um but yeah I think at the minute I think they're going it's one of those maps I think if you go 06:05:37.820 --> 06:05:45.620 and we are going to be looking at a basement defense I think this one was. 06:05:45.620 --> 06:05:54.740 Presence above already from Wildcard not wanting to give up any, they very much 06:05:54.740 --> 06:05:59.220 haven't wanted to give up any of the map really so far. No, control and storage 06:05:59.220 --> 06:06:04.220 sorry so they're gonna continue with those mid-floor sites. Again they don't 06:06:04.220 --> 06:06:08.220 I don't actually have the choice of basement yet because they want it back in round eight. 06:06:08.220 --> 06:06:16.220 My apologies there. So they've got to go another but yeah, it just shows that the commitment is basically there to not touch top floor. 06:06:16.220 --> 06:06:24.220 And I kind of get it, you know, we were talking about it earlier. There's, you know, the way it is at the minute, if you're on a static site, which top floor is this. 06:06:24.220 --> 06:06:29.220 And what I mean by that, there's not much opportunity for extension and there's not much opportunity for roaming. 06:06:29.220 --> 06:06:33.220 a little bit if you want I guess with a Valkyrie or a pulse but it's not really going to gain you 06:06:33.220 --> 06:06:37.700 very much in terms of the site you know yes you might get a Nitroker but other than that you can 06:06:37.700 --> 06:06:42.660 largely be left out in the cold and the problem is you're going to face so much utility being dumped 06:06:42.660 --> 06:06:46.980 in against you there's so many sort of power players we've already seen glass use we've already 06:06:46.980 --> 06:06:51.700 seen the thatcher use we've already seen you know all these things brought by wildcard when 06:06:51.700 --> 06:06:56.180 attacking darts here or so much so that at the halftime we heard call out say if we go to orbit 06:06:56.180 --> 06:07:02.020 time you don't touch command do not go up to the top floor so you know you kind of just sticking 06:07:02.020 --> 06:07:07.780 yourself in a box and waiting for them to attack you so I kind of get avoiding it. Possibly. 06:07:08.420 --> 06:07:11.700 The nearest half got an iron in this round because you see the Valkyrie on the other side I can't 06:07:11.700 --> 06:07:15.220 suspect that the knuckle is just a random pick here it just happens to match up when there's a 06:07:15.220 --> 06:07:19.540 Valkyrie on the side they want to make use of the intel reliance that will come out from the other 06:07:19.540 --> 06:07:23.620 side and be able to capitalize on the back of it but as we're getting top floor control those 06:07:23.620 --> 06:07:27.460 as you can see there are a couple of players lurking around up here that need healing with. 06:07:27.460 --> 06:07:28.620 Drones roll on through, 06:07:28.620 --> 06:07:34.860 his army target number one, Bay, not taking any damage there, but is wasting a good bit of time up here. 06:07:34.860 --> 06:07:38.900 There's Kansan with the star on towards Neewers and away goes the nook. 06:07:38.900 --> 06:07:45.300 Yeah, good stuff there and Dark Zero finding themselves in a position where they're gonna have to fight from behind. 06:07:45.300 --> 06:07:53.500 Again, to try and get this round, we saw them able to turn around the last round where they were attacking onto kitchen. 06:07:53.500 --> 06:07:57.900 They're gonna find themselves a little bit of space on the top floor as Kino starts to 06:07:57.900 --> 06:07:58.900 progress forward. 06:07:58.900 --> 06:08:02.820 That's sort of backed everybody up a little bit, they've got the top floor, they've got 06:08:02.820 --> 06:08:03.820 the kill. 06:08:03.820 --> 06:08:07.860 NJR managed just to take down Azami, Bay is gone off the board. 06:08:07.860 --> 06:08:12.900 4 vs 4 as the Grimby's going, Kino's just dropped over into Warehouse so pressure is 06:08:12.900 --> 06:08:15.260 gonna start mounting directly onto site. 06:08:15.260 --> 06:08:20.460 Fultz gets 1, Fultz gets 2, might just have turned the round for Dark Zero fighting from 06:08:20.460 --> 06:08:26.780 behind again and now they have a considerable lead in round 10. Yeah really caught wildcard asleep 06:08:26.780 --> 06:08:30.620 at the wheel there unfortunately it was in that four versus four they now got top floor control 06:08:30.620 --> 06:08:35.420 then dropped away found two onto players that simply weren't paying attention converts the third 06:08:35.420 --> 06:08:38.940 and spike has got it all to do can't even get the shots on ngr in front of his nose 06:08:39.500 --> 06:08:44.780 around to dz team they're up six and four and if there's ever a time to see this one over the line 06:08:44.780 --> 06:08:49.820 in fashion and in comfort surely it's now. Yeah dark zero feel like they've just found 06:08:49.820 --> 06:08:55.660 another gear for me, like I said. I think it's just starting to maybe expose those weaknesses 06:08:55.660 --> 06:09:00.300 of Wildcard a little bit, the way that they dealt with that top floor hold. Absolutely, 06:09:00.300 --> 06:09:05.660 Wildcard struggled to hold on for a minute up there. Kino doing great work with the shield, 06:09:05.660 --> 06:09:10.700 we've seen him on those shields for the longest time and he continues to deliver value on them, 06:09:10.700 --> 06:09:17.500 went in there, got Catwalk, pushed into the top floor, went above and just really created that 06:09:17.500 --> 06:09:23.340 space then drops down into warehouse starts pressure inside as well. He just takes so much attention. 06:09:27.100 --> 06:09:30.460 Really good round, I can say it's here with a little bit of see disjainment as well because 06:09:30.460 --> 06:09:34.860 Kanzan actually got shots onto him. If you got that kill, fantastic. It probably goes the way of 06:09:34.860 --> 06:09:39.340 wild car. But as we always say Tim, small advantages, small moments in siege often 06:09:39.340 --> 06:09:44.380 determine the outcome. So let's see if they can get it done 7 and 4 now. It would be a big statement 06:09:44.380 --> 06:09:47.940 at the head of this series and going into clubhouse. You probably would heavily back 06:09:47.940 --> 06:09:52.020 at DZ to see things over the line given that is their map choice. The Wildcruel I'm sure 06:09:52.020 --> 06:09:56.380 still got something to say to the Leaning even more heavily now into this heavy roam 06:09:56.380 --> 06:10:00.500 and trap-based composition. The digital on-site for Bay, we've got the Balkyre coming along 06:10:00.500 --> 06:10:03.820 and then the three operators that we've seen from both sides quite a lot this game, the 06:10:03.820 --> 06:10:05.660 Solis the Thorn and Giozami. 06:10:05.660 --> 06:10:10.860 It's been 50-50 on entry in this second half, doesn't really seem to matter too much to 06:10:10.860 --> 06:10:14.220 dark zero they've got three out of the four rounds so they don't really mind 06:10:14.220 --> 06:10:18.340 which way it goes but what a start it would be for them if they can pick up 06:10:18.340 --> 06:10:22.900 that first kill wild card really need to avoid that here don't want to be selling 06:10:22.900 --> 06:10:27.380 themselves too easy they are down in the basement which has been the site that 06:10:27.380 --> 06:10:31.340 they've won so far so maybe they can build a little bit of comfort there baby 06:10:31.340 --> 06:10:36.420 shark gonna be playing inside of storage and we've since so far today it's such a 06:10:36.420 --> 06:10:40.140 a pivotal location, not just for this site, but for others as well. 06:10:42.140 --> 06:10:45.780 This is something the Wildcars and the Nature are holding on to. 06:10:46.300 --> 06:10:49.660 In more of the same blast round as what I expect to see, you know, fighting over this top floor, 06:10:50.300 --> 06:10:52.140 we've got the one player up there at the minute in Bay. 06:10:52.860 --> 06:10:54.340 From what I've seen from Dark Zero so far, 06:10:54.340 --> 06:10:55.940 I'm making some support coming up back here as well. 06:10:55.940 --> 06:10:58.100 It's going to be very, very good. 06:10:58.100 --> 06:11:00.940 They're finding isolated players and punishing them as a team. 06:11:01.540 --> 06:11:03.620 So Bay has got to be careful of that one. 06:11:03.620 --> 06:11:08.280 The looks get support from his teammates which Kanzan is currently offering some of that or look to get out of there 06:11:08.280 --> 06:11:10.280 When things start getting a little bit hard sure enough 06:11:11.000 --> 06:11:15.080 Lining up almost on the perfect angle here as the phone call comes on through from the decay be 06:11:15.320 --> 06:11:18.720 Adrenaline also putting that out won't seem quite because of the gadget being active 06:11:18.720 --> 06:11:21.160 But they'll know that is here because of the shot that just came on through 06:11:21.160 --> 06:11:26.880 Yeah, that's gonna give away his position but I don't think he minds that really is again a bit of a bit of a magnet for that 06:11:26.960 --> 06:11:32.560 Attention can just waste more time pops around the corner there with the Reaper keynote managing to get the kill J9 06:11:32.560 --> 06:11:43.560 I know. Onto Spiker. This is all going in favour of Dark Zero right now. Five versus three and you feel like Bay up above on the vigil, he's kind of the last hope for them. 06:11:43.560 --> 06:11:55.560 Managers to take NJR. Can he find himself a second? No! Kino is there. Another important moment on the shields. Newers onto Baby Shark and Shule, a matter of time. Hot and cold. 06:11:55.560 --> 06:11:58.520 him has been all over this tournament. 06:11:58.520 --> 06:12:01.760 Is he able to give us one more reason to speak about him? 06:12:01.760 --> 06:12:03.480 There's one versus four. 06:12:03.480 --> 06:12:05.880 There's just no way Kino and Cole let this one go. 06:12:05.880 --> 06:12:07.440 They've got a trap available on Neuers. 06:12:07.440 --> 06:12:09.120 They've got a shield to front up against him. 06:12:09.120 --> 06:12:11.000 If they really want to choke him out here, 06:12:11.000 --> 06:12:12.320 that's the best way to do it. 06:12:12.320 --> 06:12:14.080 Kino asking questions now. 06:12:14.080 --> 06:12:16.080 If that head shot had landed, different conversation, 06:12:16.080 --> 06:12:17.280 but because it didn't, 06:12:17.280 --> 06:12:18.600 this one feels like it might be a little bit 06:12:18.600 --> 06:12:20.000 of a foregone conclusion. 06:12:20.000 --> 06:12:21.400 Last 30 seconds or so, 06:12:21.400 --> 06:12:22.680 the player coming in behind that shield 06:12:22.680 --> 06:12:23.880 for the third time this round, 06:12:23.880 --> 06:12:25.280 looking to try and find a kill. 06:12:25.280 --> 06:12:30.180 Newers is going to collect it in Dark Zero with a dominant 7-4 on Knighthaven Labs. 06:12:30.180 --> 06:12:36.620 Yeah, I think it's fairly reasonable to call that a comfortable win there from Dark Zero on the whole. 06:12:36.620 --> 06:12:42.060 Wildcard had some really good passages of play, the rounds that they won, they really went out and won them. 06:12:42.060 --> 06:12:47.860 But overall, particularly in the second half, Dark Zero winning four rounds out of five 06:12:47.860 --> 06:12:51.260 and just got themselves into another gear, looked so, so good. 06:12:51.260 --> 06:12:53.540 You're gonna see a very different wildcub coming out for Mat 2, 06:12:53.540 --> 06:12:56.700 otherwise they find themselves in the death bracket tomorrow. 06:12:56.700 --> 06:12:58.420 We'll go through a break when we come back. 06:12:58.420 --> 06:12:59.700 Mat 2 awaits. 06:19:51.260 --> 06:20:08.100 Dark Zero kicking things off with a dominant win on Night Haven Labs, which is Wild Cards 06:20:08.100 --> 06:20:09.100 and Map Picks. 06:20:09.100 --> 06:20:14.860 7 and 4 that one ended and now we go into Dark Zero's Map Picks in its clubhouse. 06:20:14.860 --> 06:20:20.740 Last time these two teams played here it was 8-7 to Wild Cards but Dark Zero looking a little 06:20:20.740 --> 06:20:25.460 to go today. It's going to be a big uphill battle for Wildcard. Let's see if they can send us to 06:20:25.460 --> 06:20:32.420 map three or if this ends here and now in a two zero. Yeah, I agree. I think it's going to be, 06:20:33.060 --> 06:20:37.700 as I said, a tough one for Wildcard here. You know, we have to remember as good a player as 06:20:37.700 --> 06:20:43.300 hot and cold is, they are playing with a sub and that is going to open gaps up from time to time. 06:20:43.300 --> 06:20:48.740 Dark zero seem to be going from strength to strength at the minute of what I've seen of them. 06:20:48.740 --> 06:20:53.300 They are now walking much more, I mean I had a little bit of a maybe a wobble coming into the 06:20:53.300 --> 06:20:58.020 tournament to begin with, you know a little bit up and down but I think they're settling much more 06:20:58.020 --> 06:21:04.500 into that position now. The number one team from NA Bandit and Ace are going to be our first, 06:21:04.500 --> 06:21:09.540 I imagine Kade, maybe Hibana will be the second, I don't know it's a bit of a funny one if you're 06:21:09.540 --> 06:21:16.740 going to take Ace first of all. There Matt, the other one, the other option. I mean personally 06:21:16.740 --> 06:21:26.740 Well, if it was me, I'd have probably gone to Hibana because you're affecting the hatches more, which are more important on top of us, I guess, but by taking the two hard breaches, it makes top floor quite difficult. 06:21:26.740 --> 06:21:38.740 Well, we typically agree as well, but when you look at, like you said, sort of top floor, you're playing across your room and bedroom, you're playing across Cache and CC, if you're doing a full map row, when you're playing downstairs, then the thermite has an impact on every single round. 06:21:38.740 --> 06:21:42.740 True. So I think that's all a bad idea, and it's pretty good in terms of what we're taking away. 06:21:42.740 --> 06:21:47.040 Okay, I'm gonna start things out, Tim, and yeah, again, a bit of a strange start inside is Jim and Bedrim. 06:21:47.040 --> 06:21:51.840 Pretty much every team starts down in the basement, and for a time actually, even especially in EML, 06:21:51.840 --> 06:21:56.340 we saw teams start to step away from Jim and Bedrim as a secondary site, becoming their tertiary. 06:21:56.340 --> 06:21:59.740 The Caching CC is stepping into that second half slot. 06:21:59.740 --> 06:22:02.740 Not quite the case here for our card, because that's where the kicking things are. 06:22:02.740 --> 06:22:08.140 Yeah, Caching CC always seems like rotating in terms of popularity sometimes. 06:22:08.140 --> 06:22:15.140 James will avoid it, you know, for anything and then it'll just be quite happy to play it as a first or second choice. 06:22:15.140 --> 06:22:21.140 We've got the mirror window being played on that jacuzzi wall, so we know exactly what the story there is going to be. 06:22:21.140 --> 06:22:24.140 It's going to be about opening that up and trying to make it difficult to breach the wall, 06:22:24.140 --> 06:22:30.140 but given that it's Jnano on the hip-harner, it should be reasonably accomplishable, 06:22:30.140 --> 06:22:37.140 should they choose to do so, and I imagine Kino will probably come over to try and deal with the CCTV wall, 06:22:37.140 --> 06:22:42.420 TV War, given that he's got the secondary hard breaches. That's exactly what he's doing now actually. 06:22:43.140 --> 06:22:48.900 There you go. Downside, of course, are playing a- who wanted to play a firm up, but not being able to see the size of the holes, but typically get opened up. 06:22:48.900 --> 06:22:53.620 You can't use a high ban to do it, but you have to use a lot of those. It's Kairos to give Monty a straight walk in, 06:22:53.620 --> 06:22:57.620 i.e. leaving out- being able to leave his Monty shield fully deployed, not having to undeploy it, 06:22:57.620 --> 06:23:02.900 step through the breach, and then be able to redeploy it, because all the time that you're doing that is a bit of a risk. 06:23:02.900 --> 06:23:05.700 Now Kino quite naturally wants to try and unsettle. 06:23:05.700 --> 06:23:08.500 Spiker, who is sat right now up on the catwalk. 06:23:08.500 --> 06:23:11.500 He's really dead from down to all the dark zero to find a way to overwhelm. 06:23:11.500 --> 06:23:15.300 Typically Capitao or Nath would be the go-to weapon of choice. 06:23:15.300 --> 06:23:17.700 He hit him with a flashing hand, he's had the Monty walk straight up at him, 06:23:17.700 --> 06:23:19.900 and he's just been walk up and straight headshot into him, 06:23:19.900 --> 06:23:21.700 almost like he isn't bothered in the slightest. 06:23:21.700 --> 06:23:24.100 Yeah, brilliant play from Kino on the Monty there. 06:23:24.100 --> 06:23:28.700 He was taking some aggression from Spiker, but it didn't back him up, didn't concern him. 06:23:28.700 --> 06:23:32.500 He's got himself a Yorkie as well. Another big loss there for Wildcard. 06:23:32.500 --> 06:23:37.300 to keep them on the board as long as you can. They have left it out in Nomad's land, so they will 06:23:37.300 --> 06:23:42.020 lose it after all that. Four versus four is what I'm called. Managers to pick up folks. That's 06:23:42.020 --> 06:23:47.700 something at least the Nomad gone, although I would imagine by now, yeah, Jabs should likely be in 06:23:47.700 --> 06:23:51.540 position. Bear in mind, this is all about the extended hold that we're looking at here as well. 06:23:51.540 --> 06:23:55.540 Of course, we're not attacking into gash and cc, and as Kino, maybe a little bit too big for his 06:23:55.540 --> 06:24:00.500 boots there with the pistol coming out, Bay finds his head, removes the shield, well down to a 3v3 06:24:00.500 --> 06:24:02.980 despite that very successful start for Dark Zero. 06:24:02.980 --> 06:24:04.900 Yeah, Bay takes a little bit of damage there, 06:24:04.900 --> 06:24:09.540 but the important thing for Dark Zero is that they've got CCTV and cash control quite quickly. 06:24:09.540 --> 06:24:13.620 So it means that they can start pressuring from the windows without having to worry too much about that. 06:24:13.620 --> 06:24:16.580 Although, for the minute, we kind of catch them in a little bit of flux. 06:24:16.580 --> 06:24:18.820 They're just moving around, changing ideas, I think, 06:24:18.820 --> 06:24:20.180 about exactly where they're going to go. 06:24:20.180 --> 06:24:24.100 Nuis is positioned ready to challenge from those windows with the Flores. 06:24:24.100 --> 06:24:25.540 He will move to do that now. 06:24:25.540 --> 06:24:30.340 And whilst he does so, NJR is on a big rotate around the back, 06:24:30.340 --> 06:24:34.100 to try and apply. You can just see him darting across the back of your screen there. So he's 06:24:34.100 --> 06:24:38.180 going to be moving 45 seconds left to go. They don't have all the time in the world to get this 06:24:38.180 --> 06:24:41.620 done. Just getting the steps into the day isn't he Finn? Especially with the mirror window on this one. 06:24:41.620 --> 06:24:46.740 Yeah and as you can see there, that might get Scarra to go off, needs the micro EMP to unjam that 06:24:46.740 --> 06:24:50.740 from the jammer. I'm sure enough it is done. Get ourselves moving, the C4 comes out there and that'll 06:24:50.740 --> 06:24:54.900 be enough to keep these clothes up. So now NJR can't push in from Jacuzzi. This team is why we 06:24:54.900 --> 06:24:59.220 were speaking about the bands earlier on. Well it's working pretty good wonders for them right now 06:24:59.220 --> 06:25:01.620 because this should now be easy for Wildcard to wrap this one up. 06:25:01.620 --> 06:25:03.620 Yep, Kansan is going to pick up J9L. 06:25:03.620 --> 06:25:05.020 It's just a matter of time. 06:25:05.020 --> 06:25:06.620 I think Neuers walks into site. 06:25:06.620 --> 06:25:09.220 He needs to just get aggressive and get kills in Ausup Bay. 06:25:09.220 --> 06:25:11.220 He's inside of the bathroom and he's just a finding. 06:25:11.220 --> 06:25:12.220 Can he pick up a second? 06:25:12.220 --> 06:25:15.020 NJR is in a position to start putting the deducer down. 06:25:15.020 --> 06:25:16.620 It's all down to the cover of Neuers. 06:25:16.620 --> 06:25:17.820 He can't do it though. 06:25:17.820 --> 06:25:20.420 And they have no choice but to try and stick it. 06:25:20.420 --> 06:25:22.020 That's going to be three in the round for Kansan 06:25:22.020 --> 06:25:24.620 and that's going to be Wildcard taking their first defense. 06:25:24.620 --> 06:25:25.620 1-0. 06:25:25.620 --> 06:25:26.820 Close for a second, yeah. 06:25:26.820 --> 06:25:28.220 I think keeping that jacuzzi wall closed 06:25:28.220 --> 06:25:32.220 was the most important thing we managed to get away with there too. If that gets opened up, 06:25:32.220 --> 06:25:35.340 you've got potentially three angles to be stabbed in from and it starts to get very, 06:25:35.340 --> 06:25:39.500 very messy. But great use of the back for a great way of manipulating the bands there, 06:25:39.500 --> 06:25:44.860 to your advantage on the side of Wildcard. So no complaints about the first round from them. 06:25:44.860 --> 06:25:48.060 Let's go down to C-Swalf. I'm not even going down to Basement. We're leaving until third, 06:25:48.060 --> 06:25:52.940 aren't we? Really? I mean, I don't hit it. Matt, you've still got a plate. You're going to play 06:25:52.940 --> 06:25:57.500 all of them and I think, oh, if you go to zero on these top floor sides, you're going to be 06:25:57.500 --> 06:26:02.700 pretty confident about maybe a 3-0 then if you've got church arsenal to play so um yeah I don't 06:26:02.700 --> 06:26:07.100 I think it's it's optionality I think like if you go downstairs and you lose it for example then 06:26:07.100 --> 06:26:10.700 okay you're given a good bash but if you're relying on that as your sort of main primary site which 06:26:10.700 --> 06:26:14.860 for many teams it is it's our most successful defensive site in the game bar none from when 06:26:14.860 --> 06:26:19.580 I checked it back a couple of months ago that was a very interesting sneeze Tim you'd at least 06:26:19.580 --> 06:26:22.860 have the option to go back there if another site doesn't work whereas leaving it here until third 06:26:22.860 --> 06:26:28.260 Once you lock it down then you should go back there in a sixth, but either way all the sides will be played and I just 06:26:28.260 --> 06:26:30.920 Part of a fixed rotation for points now 06:26:30.920 --> 06:26:35.020 We had a little bit of a setup coming out to all of gym and bedroom hot and cold still hanging out there for now 06:26:35.420 --> 06:26:40.280 If I've got cans of coming out to drop down one of those mirror windows baby sharpers around there with a couple of those mines 06:26:40.620 --> 06:26:46.280 So truly trying to put up a bit of a wall here before the attackers to force them to have to chew through a bunch of utility 06:26:46.400 --> 06:26:50.400 Of course, you could just see dark sir ignore that and instead go directly towards catwalk once again 06:26:52.860 --> 06:26:58.360 Janano is going to head straight towards Catwalk on the Capitaic, it's going to be his job. 06:26:58.360 --> 06:26:59.860 The Monty's on the Cousy, yeah? 06:26:59.860 --> 06:27:02.860 Yep, that's going to be his job to try and clear that out. 06:27:02.860 --> 06:27:07.860 I think he's got hard breach gadgets, so it's going to be onto this wall to begin with, 06:27:07.860 --> 06:27:13.860 and then smash the mirror, get himself across, maybe open up the bottom of Catwalk 06:27:13.860 --> 06:27:16.860 and the bottom of Garage, but as it stands, actually, they've opened, 06:27:16.860 --> 06:27:20.860 there's your Sage and Cousy wall with Kino, that leaves Baby Shark over that side, 06:27:20.860 --> 06:27:25.360 side but it's moving like again you know very changeable for dark zero they're 06:27:25.360 --> 06:27:29.680 trying to do a lot all at once and losing bodies as they do it with newers 06:27:29.680 --> 06:27:33.400 being taken out. Yeah it just walked straight into a shop in there really and 06:27:33.400 --> 06:27:37.360 waiting for a hot cold was around main stairs. Again this is a reminder for them 06:27:37.360 --> 06:27:40.240 that there's a lot going on on this side of the map are you sure you want to invest 06:27:40.240 --> 06:27:43.900 and try to clear it? Yes they say because the shield is still looking to push in 06:27:43.900 --> 06:27:48.160 Kino the one I've got my eyes on whenever you see a shield with a diffuser you 06:27:48.160 --> 06:27:51.160 You can typically follow that and see what's going to happen throughout the round. 06:27:51.160 --> 06:27:54.760 Now doing it very very best, I've got to step on towards Baby Shark, great use of the utility. 06:27:54.760 --> 06:27:56.760 Ron Fultz has stepped in in combo with... 06:27:56.760 --> 06:27:58.060 Loading the mag! 06:27:58.060 --> 06:27:58.760 Okay. 06:27:58.760 --> 06:28:01.260 I was just about to say that it was great teamwork. 06:28:01.260 --> 06:28:05.360 I mean, because what happened was Kino came in through Jacuzzi breach, 06:28:05.360 --> 06:28:08.560 took all the attention from Baby Shark and as he was challenging him, 06:28:08.560 --> 06:28:10.760 that's when Fultz went in the window and got the kill. 06:28:10.760 --> 06:28:14.860 And then he takes down the shield, he was always going to be the tip of the spear. 06:28:14.860 --> 06:28:17.760 It falls apart after that, Wildcard take the round. 06:28:17.760 --> 06:28:22.760 I think it's fair to say Tim callout will not be too pleased with how this map has started. 06:28:22.760 --> 06:28:26.760 I think they're going to need to see some improvements there. 06:28:26.760 --> 06:28:32.760 There's the kind of swear that I can put it. I think they've been out of sync on those two rounds. 06:28:32.760 --> 06:28:38.760 Like I said, you know that late late rotate from NGR all the way around the mapping round one. 06:28:38.760 --> 06:28:42.760 I think they're going to need to see some improvements there. 06:28:42.760 --> 06:28:48.840 that late late rotate from NJR all the way around the map in round one. You know it was such a 06:28:48.840 --> 06:28:54.200 kind of almost the Hail Mary because it burned 20 out of 45 seconds left. So by the time it 06:28:54.200 --> 06:28:59.320 didn't work out and they didn't get that breach open it just left them in such a tough situation 06:28:59.320 --> 06:29:06.760 to try and get anything done. You know it was such a risk old strategy and then again in round two 06:29:06.760 --> 06:29:11.720 there you've got a team kill it's unfortunate it happens you know folks feels that there's a challenge 06:29:11.720 --> 06:29:16.360 needs to be made, maybe towards the watch you wrote here and catchers keynote, but still, 06:29:16.360 --> 06:29:19.480 you know, it's like I say, it's that disconnect, it's that de-sync. 06:29:19.480 --> 06:29:23.720 It's very much a spray on towards gold in case it was an attempted trade coming on through 06:29:23.720 --> 06:29:29.320 100%. These things happen, but let's just get things reset here and go again. Again, 06:29:29.320 --> 06:29:32.280 with it being Dark Zeros, Matt Pick, if you're coming in here with all the counterpart that 06:29:32.280 --> 06:29:35.520 they need on Wildcard, if you have good attacks in mind and how to deal with everything they're 06:29:35.520 --> 06:29:41.680 coming across, just not dealing with your own Monty would be a fantastic start. Really, 06:29:41.680 --> 06:29:46.160 good hold from Wildcard though now finally till we get to see ourselves down in the basement 06:29:46.160 --> 06:29:49.840 and we've got a bit of a mix set up on the go. There's very much dug in nature offered by a 06:29:49.840 --> 06:29:54.880 Goyo and a Mirror along of course with the Yokais but since there's two other operators I'm very 06:29:54.880 --> 06:29:59.360 especially interested in the Thorn and the Solis we're going to keep themselves very busy 06:29:59.360 --> 06:30:03.600 I imagine around the map and try to waste as much time, utility and potentially lives on the dark 06:30:03.600 --> 06:30:10.640 zero sides. 10 seconds to go. Let's see how much of a presence there is out in the map with 06:30:10.640 --> 06:30:13.600 of scenario contrast between teams depending down here. 06:30:13.600 --> 06:30:15.880 So I'm happy to kind of sit them turtle 06:30:15.880 --> 06:30:18.120 and invite that pressure later in the round. 06:30:18.120 --> 06:30:20.640 Some of them wanting to get themselves active 06:30:20.640 --> 06:30:21.640 all over the place. 06:30:21.640 --> 06:30:23.760 I personally would lean into the second. 06:30:23.760 --> 06:30:26.120 I think we tend to see a bit more success 06:30:26.120 --> 06:30:27.480 when time is wasted elsewhere. 06:30:27.480 --> 06:30:29.200 But of course, you've got to balance that 06:30:29.200 --> 06:30:31.800 with cautiously making sure that you get in players back 06:30:31.800 --> 06:30:32.880 to site that you need. 06:30:32.880 --> 06:30:36.280 Kansan Bay, they're going to be the two out on the top floor. 06:30:36.280 --> 06:30:39.040 Bay with that echo, definitely not somebody 06:30:39.040 --> 06:30:41.040 who wants to be losing early in the round. 06:30:42.720 --> 06:30:46.720 What about the ESL VPEX1 with good use of the Yo-Kai to see who's coming from where? 06:30:46.720 --> 06:30:50.720 I identify that one is coming from spawn, and he finds a little drone for himself as well. 06:30:50.720 --> 06:30:51.480 How ideal. 06:30:52.040 --> 06:30:56.320 He's really there to waste time, as I've said, they don't want to be full setting up upstairs. 06:30:56.320 --> 06:30:58.600 It's more, can we teach you for a little bit of time here? 06:30:58.600 --> 06:30:59.880 Can we play the majority of the map? 06:30:59.880 --> 06:31:02.200 We refer into this with the operator band, Tim. 06:31:02.200 --> 06:31:05.400 So they might be taking away, do slow things down upstairs. 06:31:05.400 --> 06:31:07.360 With Baby Shark on the sole, it's going to kick things off. 06:31:07.360 --> 06:31:12.160 that's new as again on the state going down as the entry in the round. It's twice that's happened now Tim. 06:31:12.160 --> 06:31:14.100 You can't be losing that state this early. 06:31:14.100 --> 06:31:18.800 Not so powerful as an operator, especially when you've still got two players. 06:31:19.040 --> 06:31:21.040 Three now that baby shark on the sole. 06:31:21.040 --> 06:31:27.920 This has got up to top floor out in the map that need tracking down and dealing with and now it makes it tough for the rest of 06:31:27.920 --> 06:31:33.920 the team. That's all that on radar would I'm sure be very welcomed at this point to help that sweep across baby shark 06:31:33.920 --> 06:31:43.540 He's going to drop himself back down, but Bear Canson still very much committed to that top 06:31:43.540 --> 06:31:44.540 goal home. 06:31:44.540 --> 06:31:48.820 The really interesting thing will be whether or not DZ identified that that is a thing. 06:31:48.820 --> 06:31:51.460 Like you'll probably know there's a barricade that's going to be there because the noise 06:31:51.460 --> 06:31:52.460 is made by you opening it. 06:31:52.460 --> 06:31:55.620 You know there's a Goyo in the round so it's not going to get popped out in the way that 06:31:55.620 --> 06:31:57.100 you'd expect when it's broken down. 06:31:57.100 --> 06:32:01.220 But if he just keeps on stepping back and forth like that he could really upset somebody. 06:32:01.220 --> 06:32:06.820 They get rid of Fultz, Baby Shark comes with another, he has been unstoppable in this round, 2v3 for DZ. 06:32:06.820 --> 06:32:09.620 Feels like Wildcard might hold on for a third in a row. 06:32:09.620 --> 06:32:14.100 Yep, certainly could do, I think they weren't aware of Bay's position on Catwalk and he caught them out. 06:32:14.100 --> 06:32:21.060 NJH does manage to pick up Kansan, so now Baby Shark and Hot and Cold both down inside of site need to be dealt with. 06:32:21.060 --> 06:32:30.620 And they're going to have to face up to a Blackbeard who is pushing down there in fact, they're going to dip away from that thinking we don't want that fight anywhere near as direct as it was going to be. 06:32:30.620 --> 06:32:34.380 Of course, the closer the blitz is, sorry, the black beard, the more dangerous he is. 06:32:34.380 --> 06:32:37.260 NJR, as you say, just waiting for that head to pop up, 06:32:37.260 --> 06:32:40.580 and now Kino can just slowly edge his way across. 06:32:40.580 --> 06:32:43.980 Needs to be careful, though. No more impact nades left. 06:32:43.980 --> 06:32:47.820 So now the worry is gone. He can just cause this distance slowly. 06:32:47.820 --> 06:32:50.900 And if he makes it all the way up, then it is round over. 06:32:50.900 --> 06:32:52.260 DarkZero, take that first. 06:32:52.260 --> 06:32:55.100 Really well recovered too, because they're saying, yeah, 3 vs 2, 06:32:55.100 --> 06:32:58.980 this feels like one for Wildcard to lose, and a lot for DZ to recover. 06:32:58.980 --> 06:33:00.980 the first round of the board 06:33:00.980 --> 06:33:01.980 so maybe not in the fashion 06:33:01.980 --> 06:33:02.980 they want to want it because 06:33:02.980 --> 06:33:03.980 they lost out on the brown game 06:33:03.980 --> 06:33:04.980 but they managed to come up big 06:33:04.980 --> 06:33:05.980 in the clutch towards the end 06:33:05.980 --> 06:33:06.980 first quarter down we go into 06:33:06.980 --> 06:33:08.980 our next operated banning phase 06:33:08.980 --> 06:33:09.980 so you ask it's taken away will 06:33:09.980 --> 06:33:10.980 it be another hard breach will 06:33:10.980 --> 06:33:11.980 we lean towards things we've 06:33:11.980 --> 06:33:12.980 seen before left the Grim Band 06:33:12.980 --> 06:33:13.980 coming out no it's going to be 06:33:13.980 --> 06:33:14.980 capital and the mirror 06:33:14.980 --> 06:33:15.980 which is that it's quite a bit 06:33:15.980 --> 06:33:16.980 of a yeah I think so you know 06:33:16.980 --> 06:33:17.980 capital you're looking towards 06:33:17.980 --> 06:33:18.980 cctv holding on to catwalk for 06:33:18.980 --> 06:33:19.980 a game and you're going to 06:33:19.980 --> 06:33:20.980 get a little bit of a bit of a 06:33:20.980 --> 06:33:21.980 bit of a bit of a bit of a bit 06:33:21.980 --> 06:33:22.980 of a bit of a bit of a bit of 06:33:22.980 --> 06:33:23.980 bit of a bit of a bit of a bit 06:33:23.980 --> 06:33:24.980 of a bit of a bit of a bit of 06:33:24.980 --> 06:33:31.360 You know capital you're looking towards CCTV holding on to catwalk for example much makes that much easier. I mean capital 06:33:31.360 --> 06:33:33.360 I think I don't think he's 06:33:34.200 --> 06:33:40.500 Like he's underrated or underpicked. I think not certainly not at pro level, but I think you know in general terms 06:33:40.500 --> 06:33:46.100 I think what I'd say is people forget how powerful capital really is he has smart 06:33:46.100 --> 06:33:52.940 He has this fixation balls. He's fast. He's got hard breach gadgets as an option like he can do so much 06:33:52.940 --> 06:33:59.140 You know, we used to talk about the days when Buck was wildly self-sufficient when he had hard breach charges 06:33:59.140 --> 06:34:05.540 He's got the skeleton key, you know, he was great. I see Capitao as the same. He's just so self-sufficient. It's unreal 06:34:07.340 --> 06:34:11.400 And that's something of course that easily unaware of they're playing it back in round two 06:34:11.400 --> 06:34:15.700 So I've been taken away from them specifically when they were attacking into the catch and see some side 06:34:15.700 --> 06:34:17.260 This leaves Slake online 06:34:17.260 --> 06:34:18.940 But I think as we've seen so far Tim 06:34:18.940 --> 06:34:24.620 Nunes has struggled to get himself involved in the entry depth in both rounds in which he's played a snake now Jim 06:34:24.620 --> 06:34:25.940 Benjamin returns to you once again 06:34:25.940 --> 06:34:30.340 You saw this earlier the extended hold attempt coming on through it's all about wasting time now 06:34:30.380 --> 06:34:31.980 Do you remember very very vividly? 06:34:31.980 --> 06:34:37.100 Darts are a struggle to get the jacuzzi ball opened up that was the main frustration point for them in that round 06:34:37.300 --> 06:34:40.500 The thing is here what they brought along another set of half-reached gadgets 06:34:40.500 --> 06:34:44.380 We've now got six of them on side because they know for certain they want things opened up 06:34:44.380 --> 06:34:49.380 Man officer, and they're going to get things opened up. 06:34:49.380 --> 06:34:52.380 It's going to be construction wall with two holes in it. 06:34:52.380 --> 06:34:57.380 And we're going to have CCTV wall opened up at the same time. 06:34:57.380 --> 06:34:59.380 So, canton. 06:34:59.380 --> 06:35:00.380 Canton in bit. 06:35:00.380 --> 06:35:04.380 There's going to be a ones task with holding onto that side of the map. 06:35:04.380 --> 06:35:11.380 So all six of these used very rapidly inside of the first 45 seconds 06:35:11.380 --> 06:35:13.380 to open up as many angles as possible. 06:35:13.380 --> 06:35:18.260 the question now is where the dark zero shape up for the attack minute they've 06:35:18.260 --> 06:35:23.220 got Jane I know he's looking below kind of a pool table area I think you know 06:35:23.220 --> 06:35:26.700 looking to get in there maybe pressure main stairs open up the hatch see what 06:35:26.700 --> 06:35:30.780 they can do from underneath they've got pressure over on jacuzzi wall not 06:35:30.780 --> 06:35:35.460 really playing into cash and CCTV hold at the minute it's very fun one for you 06:35:35.460 --> 06:35:37.900 if you guys are curious about what's happening over on the beat stream by the 06:35:37.900 --> 06:35:42.420 way we do have all gamers against five fears the top team from China coming up 06:35:42.420 --> 06:35:47.340 I think who many of you listening live now will probably say everyone is getting behind a very very fun team to follow 06:35:47.340 --> 06:35:52.940 Five fears are it's been an OT on lair. I'm hearing a lot of noise from our friends and crow and fellow in the booth next 06:35:52.940 --> 06:35:59.060 Well, so I'm not 100% sure what's just happened in the latest round, but it sounds like it's a fantastic game over there as well 06:35:59.060 --> 06:36:01.060 So you got to monitor Tim. Why not watch both? 06:36:02.540 --> 06:36:04.540 But keep listening to us 06:36:06.060 --> 06:36:09.260 Right, okay, we're gonna have presence underneath in bar 06:36:09.260 --> 06:36:11.260 Well aware of it here. False 06:36:11.260 --> 06:36:13.260 Managers to pick up Kansan elsewhere. 06:36:13.260 --> 06:36:15.260 Dead to right. This is going to be over. 06:36:15.260 --> 06:36:17.260 J9O Managers to pick up here. 06:36:17.260 --> 06:36:19.260 And it looks like Dark Zero might just have 06:36:19.260 --> 06:36:21.260 woken up here on clubhouse. There's 06:36:21.260 --> 06:36:23.260 a little bit quiet through those first 06:36:23.260 --> 06:36:25.260 two rounds. But five versus three now. 06:36:25.260 --> 06:36:27.260 Pressure mounting inside of sight. We can 06:36:27.260 --> 06:36:29.260 see bullets spraying up through the floor 06:36:29.260 --> 06:36:31.260 towards baby shark. J9O just 06:36:31.260 --> 06:36:33.260 doing what he can with the intel 06:36:33.260 --> 06:36:35.260 at hand. Newers does manage 06:36:35.260 --> 06:36:37.260 to take him down. It's all up to Spiker 06:36:37.260 --> 06:36:40.960 and then here come Dark Zero getting aggressive. 06:36:40.960 --> 06:36:43.700 Hot and cold gets a second, can't get any more. 06:36:43.700 --> 06:36:46.500 And JR downs him and that is going to be end of the round. 06:36:46.500 --> 06:36:48.780 And two, two, Dark Zero back in the wrist. 06:36:48.780 --> 06:36:51.300 When Dark Zero pulled the trigger and make a move as a team, 06:36:51.300 --> 06:36:52.580 it's really impressive. 06:36:52.580 --> 06:36:54.780 Like they move at such pace and normally two or three bodies 06:36:54.780 --> 06:36:56.240 on the other side fall down. 06:36:56.240 --> 06:36:58.220 And then Wildcard has sort of stuck, 06:36:58.220 --> 06:36:59.220 just like trying to react. 06:36:59.220 --> 06:37:00.540 Like, okay, now what the hell's going on? 06:37:00.540 --> 06:37:01.460 It's like you've been punching the face 06:37:01.460 --> 06:37:03.020 and being asked what your plan is. 06:37:03.020 --> 06:37:04.380 They don't always seem to know in the moment 06:37:04.380 --> 06:37:06.700 that team play has been very, very impressive. 06:37:06.700 --> 06:37:09.740 I can understand and see very clearly other company in IP game 06:37:09.740 --> 06:37:11.780 But this is definitely a level up to what we saw the other day 06:37:11.780 --> 06:37:16.420 I can see why a few of the coaches that have spoken to had DZ down as a potential winner 06:37:16.620 --> 06:37:22.420 Yeah, I can see that they are when they play when they play when it's good. It's very good. Oh, yeah, and it's good 06:37:22.420 --> 06:37:28.260 It's very good. Well, it's bad team what then the thing is and I wouldn't say it's you know 06:37:28.660 --> 06:37:33.260 To complete the same you'd say when it's bad, but I wouldn't say it's very bad 06:37:33.260 --> 06:37:38.820 I think you know as as time goes on even the rounds from dark zero where there are mistakes 06:37:38.820 --> 06:37:41.260 You know they do tend to be small they do tend to be minimal 06:37:41.260 --> 06:37:45.940 We've seen them fight back and reclaim a few of those rounds where they've given the opportunity to wild card 06:37:45.940 --> 06:37:49.300 So yeah, I think I would agree. I'm gonna put them up there 06:37:49.460 --> 06:37:54.980 You know mentally at the minute. I think I would put them up there towards the top four that we've seen at the minute 06:37:56.900 --> 06:38:00.060 I'm a bit complex with what happened around 14 on the other stream to bar 06:38:00.060 --> 06:38:08.560 Well, Fern's got a 4k, so then there's the 1v3 and the 4k to keep them in the game that's going to round 15, wow. 06:38:09.560 --> 06:38:16.560 Certainly had a close game over here, maybe we'll see, well a less close game over here, maybe we'll see that one go the full distance. 06:38:16.560 --> 06:38:20.560 Alright, let's see what happens here and whether or not DZ can get themselves into the lead. 06:38:20.560 --> 06:38:26.560 As you said, it was a slow start but they really feel like they've woken up now and are playing back at full force the same way that we saw back on Nighthaze. 06:38:26.560 --> 06:38:32.160 even lad starting off on this cap CC wall, decided for a specific round out and saw the 06:38:32.160 --> 06:38:35.600 bands that came through with of course the ace and the thermite, if you said it would 06:38:35.600 --> 06:38:38.760 be a bit harder to get these walls opened up, it's what have lent quite heavily into 06:38:38.760 --> 06:38:40.640 these hard-willed, dreaded, moving job. 06:38:40.640 --> 06:38:46.680 Yeah, I mean the mute jammers won't do anything to them, so if you didn't know that, there's 06:38:46.680 --> 06:38:50.080 no signal to be detected, there's no signal to be shut down, because you're just kind 06:38:50.080 --> 06:38:54.360 of pulling a pin out and then the explosion starts, I think that's the logic, so yeah 06:38:54.360 --> 06:38:58.560 You can just go up there straight onto the wall. No problem. You're not going to slow them down at all 06:38:58.560 --> 06:39:01.580 We're going to see them applied to the construction wall as well 06:39:01.580 --> 06:39:08.160 That is going to make it just that little bit more difficult for a wild card to move their way back through there 06:39:08.400 --> 06:39:14.160 At the minute, Kansan is playing in construction. They've got one in logistics as well. It's the Legion 06:39:14.560 --> 06:39:19.480 Hot and cold is going to be shipped down by J90. So another good entry for Dark Zero 06:39:19.880 --> 06:39:23.720 J90 gets caught out. All those ways is his life and does 06:39:23.720 --> 06:39:28.280 Spiker just seeing the opportunity there to drop down those stairs and get his man 06:39:28.280 --> 06:39:34.020 And that could be a really key moment for this wild card defense if Janna and I would have been able to get onto red stairs 06:39:34.020 --> 06:39:37.280 It would have meant trouble really good defense. I think Spiker there 06:39:37.880 --> 06:39:42.200 Opportunity spotting garage wasn't opened up for the game. They're not gonna push me. I'll push you 06:39:42.520 --> 06:39:49.040 Was a freak you found on the downstairs his team then turning it into two three more that leaves new as in a one versus four 06:39:49.040 --> 06:39:52.720 I know he's had some wonderful rounds of points to him. We know exactly how good 06:39:52.720 --> 06:39:56.360 he can be. I think even asking him to convert this one by himself might be a 06:39:56.360 --> 06:39:58.040 bit of a tool for that. 06:39:58.040 --> 06:40:03.440 And spray up through the floor just kind of hoping for the best. See what you can 06:40:03.440 --> 06:40:07.760 get. Spotted out on the camera as well. They know exactly where he is. Surely a 06:40:07.760 --> 06:40:12.440 matter of time. He's gonna move his army back but it's really unlikely to matter 06:40:12.440 --> 06:40:16.600 much. 45 seconds left to go. He needs to hope that somebody presents him with an 06:40:16.600 --> 06:40:20.680 opportunity here. Not going to be the case. Beautiful angle held by a baby shark down 06:40:20.680 --> 06:40:24.600 through the hatch and the soft wall picks up his mount and that's going to be 3-2 for 06:40:24.600 --> 06:40:31.880 Wildcard but I will say I think a 3-3 attack in half actually suits DarkZero just fine. 06:40:31.880 --> 06:40:35.240 Oh massively, I completely agree. That's assuming of course that we get there. 06:40:35.240 --> 06:40:39.400 Yeah, well I'm interested to see back on our previous map where Wildcard found the most 06:40:39.400 --> 06:40:43.320 success was on the attack. That's when they got that 3-3 split. It was the defenses where 06:40:43.320 --> 06:40:46.440 they struggled they only managed to find one so I do think you're gonna see 06:40:46.440 --> 06:40:50.480 wildcow come out the gate pretty good in that second half and so for DZ I think 06:40:50.480 --> 06:40:53.760 getting three here is gonna be really important if you want to see it over and 06:40:53.760 --> 06:40:57.960 done with inside too as you'd expect but it was also our third site it's gonna 06:40:57.960 --> 06:41:01.680 be our sixth down to church and Arsenal in the basement and the lineup looking 06:41:01.680 --> 06:41:06.480 very very reminiscent of what we saw back in round ten. 06:41:06.480 --> 06:41:14.240 Last time around I saw Dark Zero doing well on the fight around the map that 06:41:14.240 --> 06:41:18.640 was the key. By the time they got down to the site there was only two of Wildcourt 06:41:18.640 --> 06:41:23.240 left and they went in with Keenor they were able to bully hot and cold it was 06:41:23.240 --> 06:41:27.560 actually beautiful it was the beautiful kill on to baby shark as well as he 06:41:27.560 --> 06:41:31.160 popped his head up above the wall they predicted he was gonna get up on the 06:41:31.160 --> 06:41:35.920 boxes and try the long angle and able to take him down fantastically well it's 06:41:35.920 --> 06:41:40.960 gonna be a fight over top floor again this time. Let's see where the wildcard learn anything 06:41:40.960 --> 06:41:45.640 from last time because they lost quite a few bodies up there. They do have Bay out in garage 06:41:45.640 --> 06:41:50.600 again. That's the same as last time. Kansan is up there to join him, same as last time. 06:41:50.600 --> 06:41:55.120 He's actually in bedroom rather I think he was more over kind of construction cash last 06:41:55.120 --> 06:42:01.960 time. But baby shark joining as well. He was a little bit more up and down those stairs 06:42:01.960 --> 06:42:06.160 So it feels like if anything they've kind of bolstered this top four hole from last time 06:42:07.520 --> 06:42:10.920 Quite as well. I mean in Middle East they did work out last time. Let's not forget 06:42:10.920 --> 06:42:14.600 They got themselves into a 3v2 on the defense and it was like great Rome successful 06:42:15.080 --> 06:42:19.300 then NGR drops a 4k and sometimes you just can't just late for that Tim 06:42:19.300 --> 06:42:24.560 You can't legislate for a player popping off and dragging around over the line when it feels like you should be in a winning position 06:42:25.080 --> 06:42:30.000 But having a peter as you saw by the fire inside of dirt and the two shields on side here Tim 06:42:30.000 --> 06:42:33.000 That gives him two angles that can afford to quite aggressive play round. 06:42:33.000 --> 06:42:37.000 And Monty, working his way down through Dirk, he only got himself outside a garage, 06:42:37.000 --> 06:42:41.000 and I'm sure we'll get moving soon as he takes a few shots, it's newest to get rid of Ganze. 06:42:41.000 --> 06:42:43.000 Oh, oh, oh. 06:42:43.000 --> 06:42:46.000 That's the second time today, since somebody made themselves. 06:42:46.000 --> 06:42:50.000 J9H might have been having last time, I think he's getting ahead of themselves, 06:42:50.000 --> 06:42:52.000 and trying to get a bit too aggressive. 06:42:52.000 --> 06:42:55.000 There is another kill though, J9H taking down Ganze, 06:42:55.000 --> 06:42:58.000 an opportunity for Volts to plant here, I'm not sure they can do anything to stop it. 06:42:58.000 --> 06:43:02.380 He does actually just come off there the cover was a little bit late 06:43:02.380 --> 06:43:08.140 But does get the job done folks goes back on to the plant Bay folks gone 06:43:09.180 --> 06:43:14.620 He's managed to find him. I thought maybe a guns for Yoko, but no need this for when the gun does just as good a job 06:43:14.780 --> 06:43:18.820 But if we retake attempt coming in here for the two defenders they get rid of one new as in for a double 06:43:18.820 --> 06:43:20.880 Just one more pushing his way up through blue 06:43:20.880 --> 06:43:27.140 It'll come down to a one-by-one, but newest secures the trade dark zero even it out of three apiece 06:43:27.140 --> 06:43:32.460 I'm really not sure I feel keep found that kill. I don't know if he'd maybe gone above 06:43:32.460 --> 06:43:36.620 Got a chip damage. Yeah, I don't know where the angle was that he found it from but 06:43:43.940 --> 06:43:48.700 What I want us to do is adjust the Jones fell so rotate the basement Jonah get information on if they're doing the 06:43:48.940 --> 06:43:52.580 Lounge hold or not. So like if they are if they're doing the lounge hold 06:43:52.580 --> 06:43:55.940 We're gonna do like the fifth that I talked about but I want you to practice IQ go linear off that 06:43:55.940 --> 06:44:01.020 So like hunt those echo drones off clear the information and then we're looking clear across in that if they're not doing the long attention 06:44:01.020 --> 06:44:03.760 Boker, I want to see the lurk attack like apply the pressure making thing 06:44:03.760 --> 06:44:07.000 We're clearing over games. We keep showing that pressure across that side then we go for the lurk 06:44:07.000 --> 06:44:09.580 We just hammer up through the fucking oil pit like with our fucking nades 06:44:09.580 --> 06:44:14.120 We crank that guy Kino as well like on this attack side if we do go back. I think we're gonna fucking hammer on defense 06:44:14.120 --> 06:44:15.760 I'm not saying we're not but like if we do go back 06:44:15.760 --> 06:44:20.500 Don't be afraid is echoed on see there with this fucking Monty like if I press around this guy as well like 06:44:20.780 --> 06:44:24.660 If it happens it happens utility does not exist to Kino anymore for the rest of this game, right? 06:44:24.660 --> 06:44:26.660 Okay, third? 06:44:26.660 --> 06:44:27.660 Third. 06:44:27.660 --> 06:44:30.000 These guys fellas don't, like last map is not the same fucking map. 06:44:30.000 --> 06:44:31.000 The gaps are not as prevalent. 06:44:31.000 --> 06:44:32.000 We're sticking to the game plan here. 06:44:32.000 --> 06:44:33.000 They're 80 foot out for us. 06:44:33.000 --> 06:44:34.000 Yeah, I heard. 06:44:34.000 --> 06:44:35.000 We're gonna crank it harder here. 06:44:35.000 --> 06:44:36.000 Take a couple fights around one. 06:44:36.000 --> 06:44:37.000 How long should you know about that? 06:44:37.000 --> 06:44:39.000 We didn't know about that, Bob. 06:44:39.000 --> 06:44:40.000 I mean, what's that? 06:44:40.000 --> 06:44:41.000 Oh, I do. 06:44:41.000 --> 06:44:42.000 Yeah, take a couple of fights. 06:44:42.000 --> 06:44:45.200 Like Neewers, being these guys side of puzzle, you know, super important guys have been 06:44:45.200 --> 06:44:46.200 reminded about that. 06:44:46.200 --> 06:44:47.200 Okay. 06:44:47.200 --> 06:44:50.360 What if we just talk about this guys, about our communication later on. 06:44:50.360 --> 06:44:53.240 Let's make sure you don't think that, not that don't think that much, but you think 06:44:53.240 --> 06:44:54.240 a little bit more. 06:44:54.240 --> 06:44:57.680 Yeah, I don't want that to reset, but the whole game is like if we do what they want. 06:44:57.680 --> 06:45:04.140 Labs like Jace was getting the kills, so guys can keep moving, like at least in the first situation that you guys are going to face that, keep moving. 06:45:04.140 --> 06:45:17.840 Like you know, I suppose it did a master clear, right, on the cash bomb site, master clear, don't need to open the door, sometimes keep walking, don't let them think it's doing good, because the kills were getting, it's just that later on we can finish better rounds, right? 06:45:17.840 --> 06:45:22.760 So talk about that. One thing that happened on team defense, they liked to see for the server wall 06:45:22.760 --> 06:45:26.720 there was around that they didn't reinforce like server walls. Be careful like slashing them. 06:45:26.720 --> 06:45:29.180 And for team, when we attack in team, we can do two things. 06:45:29.180 --> 06:45:34.320 Team fast, but like not need to do fast, but they set up with checking like they must start the Azami, can be something. 06:45:34.320 --> 06:45:35.820 And Windows is gonna be amazing. 06:45:40.060 --> 06:45:42.660 It's a very good proplex by Tark's here this time. 06:45:42.660 --> 06:45:43.060 I think... 06:45:43.060 --> 06:45:45.400 It's kind of interesting that they're going on to the attackers like that. 06:45:45.400 --> 06:45:50.440 we've seen it before and I think it's taking that opportunity you're almost it's quite smart really 06:45:50.440 --> 06:45:55.720 because you've got that tactical timeout at half time that opportunity and what you're really doing 06:45:55.720 --> 06:46:02.360 there is maybe saving yourself a need for a tactical timeout to discuss overtime should it come about 06:46:02.360 --> 06:46:07.080 I'm going to get that boxed off now so I don't need to worry about that and then the whole focus 06:46:07.080 --> 06:46:11.480 if I do need a tactical timeout can just be about the fence that we're currently on and I think 06:46:11.480 --> 06:46:17.160 from call out there. A is showing confidence in his team and their defense. He doesn't think I need to, 06:46:17.160 --> 06:46:21.320 you guys know what to do there. Just go and do it. I think we're going to win. But here's what 06:46:21.320 --> 06:46:25.880 I've seen if we do go back to the attack. Yeah, you've already had the plan laid out for us and 06:46:25.880 --> 06:46:29.400 how we're going to play this half. We don't need to talk about it. Reflect on what we can learn from 06:46:29.400 --> 06:46:33.640 that first. Maybe very true. We're going to start things out in Cache CC Tim. It's another team. 06:46:33.640 --> 06:46:38.520 She's a not-so-go-church Arsenal 4 there. First site I'm liking what I'm seeing. But 06:46:38.520 --> 06:46:43.000 got a lot to come and hold onto garage with here I'm seeing the Yeager I'm 06:46:43.000 --> 06:46:46.680 seeing the Wamai I'm seeing the Azami three operators there that can make this 06:46:46.680 --> 06:46:50.760 a headache to deal with and that's even with a capital band coming on through to 06:46:50.760 --> 06:46:55.260 me Reeve like they really don't want to give up that house or garage at all they 06:46:55.260 --> 06:46:58.640 want to hold on to the entire round and maybe try and force Wildcard to have to 06:46:58.640 --> 06:47:01.280 come in from Jacuzzi's side instead. 06:47:01.280 --> 06:47:02.280 Five seconds left. 06:47:02.280 --> 06:47:04.280 One, two, three. 06:47:04.280 --> 06:47:06.840 Well done, Wildcard. 06:47:06.840 --> 06:47:09.080 Now is your moment. 06:47:09.080 --> 06:47:11.680 Of course, as a reminder to everybody, it's not over. 06:47:11.680 --> 06:47:14.880 If Wildcard don't win here, they will have another chance 06:47:14.880 --> 06:47:16.920 to get themselves qualified tomorrow, 06:47:16.920 --> 06:47:19.320 but it becomes a much higher stakes game 06:47:19.320 --> 06:47:21.480 because it is literally do or die. 06:47:21.480 --> 06:47:23.800 All the games tomorrow, the winners will qualify, 06:47:23.800 --> 06:47:27.880 the losers will be eliminated, whereas in this one, 06:47:27.880 --> 06:47:34.620 still have that extra chance so 3-3 at the half as I said and I don't want to get 06:47:34.620 --> 06:47:39.520 carried away just yet a lot of seeds to play but I think that 3-3 attacking half 06:47:39.520 --> 06:47:44.520 actually suits Darkseer or just fine we heard it call like this here I'm sure 06:47:44.520 --> 06:47:49.600 we're gonna slam them on the defense and that is gonna be the expectation for 06:47:49.600 --> 06:47:54.720 the NA side and they're gonna expect to come away from this map quality. 06:47:54.720 --> 06:48:02.720 They're feeling the back going fast here too, and there they are, the drop coming on through, fire raining everywhere on the floor to make it hard for Spike to step on forward, but he's done just that. 06:48:02.720 --> 06:48:10.720 Very much now, Pintz is in the back corner, and the swing comes on through, but Dark Zero have refuted them in every single gunfire bar, just in case Kino's gone down. 06:48:10.720 --> 06:48:13.720 And Roasted Spike, if a dinner sounds pretty good to me, Tim. 06:48:13.720 --> 06:48:15.720 Well, that didn't work, did it? 06:48:15.720 --> 06:48:19.720 I'm going to say what, I said earlier on, I don't mind that, I'm all good with it. 06:48:19.720 --> 06:48:23.480 good with it. If you give it a go and it comes off, you look like a genius. If you try it 06:48:23.480 --> 06:48:27.560 and it goes wrong, like it just did, you look like morons. It was still a good idea just 06:48:27.560 --> 06:48:31.480 because it didn't work doesn't mean it was necessarily a bad idea. It's more that the 06:48:31.480 --> 06:48:33.800 other side was ready and prepared for it. 06:48:33.800 --> 06:48:36.600 Yeah, sometimes you've got to give it a go. Like you said, you know, if you catch him 06:48:36.600 --> 06:48:41.720 on a way, it's then great. I think it was maybe a little bit of a risk, like I say, 06:48:41.720 --> 06:48:46.160 given that we are expecting Dark Zero to be very strong on the defensive side here. You 06:48:46.160 --> 06:48:50.480 don't really want to be giving them any rounds or you know giving sort of I think 06:48:50.480 --> 06:48:55.040 taking those high-risk ones but they gave it a go. It didn't pay off for them I'm 06:48:55.040 --> 06:48:58.560 sure they will just shake that one off and move on. Dark Zero are gonna head 06:48:58.560 --> 06:49:05.360 down to church and Arsenal next up that's gonna be the next site and I think 06:49:05.360 --> 06:49:09.000 this is really tough for Wildcard now actually. Having lost that last round you 06:49:09.000 --> 06:49:14.080 go to the best defensive site in the game pretty much and you're staring down 06:49:14.080 --> 06:49:19.840 the barrel of 5-3 here and dark 0 taking back to back defensive rounds. Are they playing 06:49:19.840 --> 06:49:25.040 anybody out in the map? Yes they are, newest. Newest is on the vigil, he's going to be 06:49:25.040 --> 06:49:29.480 joined by a keynote up on the top floor as well, so Wildcard you've got your work cut 06:49:29.480 --> 06:49:33.120 out for you. And maybe NGR as well, typically a goyo. 06:49:33.120 --> 06:49:36.560 It feels weird to say there's a one speed out roaming on the map but one the Vector's 06:49:36.560 --> 06:49:40.120 an excellent gun, very very high rate of fire, a bit of a headshot machine. So once your 06:49:40.120 --> 06:49:43.560 gadgets are actually down you can disappear and do whatever you want, you're last year 06:49:43.560 --> 06:49:49.060 But I think given the fact that he's not playing off from the back to here, he actually means that he's very much going to sit here and hold. 06:49:49.060 --> 06:49:53.560 Do they know about that walking canister above? I'm not sure they do, Tim. 06:49:53.560 --> 06:49:58.060 I reckon you could get a bit cheekier. Someone steps in, they're dead to rise. 06:49:58.060 --> 06:50:02.060 I thought they'd run back through fire and die. We'll have to run forward and you're on to the end of NJR's gun. 06:50:02.060 --> 06:50:03.560 This could be really interesting. 06:50:03.560 --> 06:50:07.560 It is. You create a situation, it's high risk, high reward. 06:50:07.560 --> 06:50:11.560 They've got to hit the headshot coming through there. Opportunity missed, is it? 06:50:11.560 --> 06:50:13.800 Are they aware? Takes the shot. 06:50:14.800 --> 06:50:19.280 It's going to be Fultz that loses his life, but Spiker takes a lot of damage along the way. 06:50:19.600 --> 06:50:22.600 Baby Sharks managed to get up on the roof here, so I'm ready to contest. 06:50:22.600 --> 06:50:25.640 But Nuerz knows you can't really hang around in the same position for too long. 06:50:25.960 --> 06:50:28.440 There'll always be someone ready to repeat that angle. 06:50:28.440 --> 06:50:30.320 So he's rotated himself away entirely. 06:50:30.720 --> 06:50:33.360 He's now trying to do some challenge into the basement itself. 06:50:33.360 --> 06:50:37.880 The fact that he's here so early on should give some of these Dark Zero players a moment for pause. 06:50:37.880 --> 06:50:40.560 I think, okay, maybe it's good we get back to the wood sight here 06:50:40.560 --> 06:50:41.960 because they're already starting to come. 06:50:41.960 --> 06:50:46.480 If Spiker gets caught by that Vulcan canister at all on his low life, by the way, 06:50:46.480 --> 06:50:49.040 if he goes back to dirt, he's going to be in serious trouble. 06:50:49.040 --> 06:50:51.640 Kino, NJR managed to find a killer piece. 06:50:51.640 --> 06:50:53.440 It wasn't the Vulcan canister in the end. 06:50:53.440 --> 06:50:56.880 It was the TCSG that did it direct with a headshot, Nitro, 06:50:56.880 --> 06:51:00.080 shot out of the sky by Baby Shot, but two versus three. 06:51:00.080 --> 06:51:02.000 Wildcard have got some serious work to do. 06:51:02.000 --> 06:51:05.120 They need to work for this fire to burn out from the Vulcan canister. 06:51:05.120 --> 06:51:07.360 One problem they've got at the minute is they're all pushing, 06:51:07.360 --> 06:51:09.040 both of them from this side. 06:51:09.040 --> 06:51:15.600 NJR Kino knew us. They know it. They're all faced up in this direction. Three guns pointing at them in a massive crossfire 06:51:16.120 --> 06:51:19.560 Yeah, this is now rough to battle your way through. However, let's not forget 06:51:19.560 --> 06:51:24.000 We saw dark zero when a 2v3 in this exact position back in the first half 06:51:24.400 --> 06:51:27.120 You probably magical on their side. There's already been that call to say look 06:51:27.120 --> 06:51:28.440 Let's not do anything crazy here 06:51:28.440 --> 06:51:33.560 They're gonna open up any holes in the wall that immediately give away where we are and guarantee a free kill to the other side 06:51:33.720 --> 06:51:36.280 We can afford to play a little more carefully 06:51:36.280 --> 06:51:41.000 NJR still watching around Dirt and just waiting to see if anyone dares come on through. 06:51:41.000 --> 06:51:44.600 Fires been popped out but that's a diffuser I believe just in front of his face. So 06:51:44.600 --> 06:51:50.520 recovery effort is required. Yeah none of the rest matters now. 35 seconds left to go. They know 06:51:50.520 --> 06:51:54.120 at this point that they have to play for kills. Hot and cold is going to take the hot drop. 06:51:54.120 --> 06:51:58.600 Does he find anybody? No. He's searching seeking around site. I'm not sure they know that he's 06:51:58.600 --> 06:52:02.760 come down with that. There's no freebies available for him though. They're playing this smart two of 06:52:02.760 --> 06:52:07.880 of them in dirt. They know that all they have to do is sit on top of that case. That is the win 06:52:07.880 --> 06:52:11.640 condition. That's one that's going to get them the win. I think they might have actually moved 06:52:11.640 --> 06:52:18.440 that Vulcan canister. I think they've relocated it to be able to protect the diffuser that is down 06:52:18.440 --> 06:52:23.960 on the ground. And it is doing a perfect job. Newers manages to find the kill. It is the Vulcan 06:52:23.960 --> 06:52:29.720 canister that does it. Baby Shark taking out. End of round and another win for Dark Zero. 06:52:29.720 --> 06:52:32.720 I love that play with the Vulcan canister in dirt. 06:52:33.220 --> 06:52:36.820 I feel like if all of those moments in ranked when the diffusers just down in the weirdest of places 06:52:36.820 --> 06:52:40.220 and it's an absolute battle to try and recover. 06:52:40.420 --> 06:52:44.520 Wildcard calling an attack timeout after just two rounds. They haven't won either of them. 06:52:44.820 --> 06:52:48.220 It's looking pretty brutal and DZ could be on for that 2-0, Tim. 06:52:48.220 --> 06:52:50.020 Yeah, I think they're in trouble now Wildcard. 06:52:50.020 --> 06:52:53.520 As I said, once Dark Zero got onto the attack, a 3-3 half suits them. 06:52:53.520 --> 06:52:54.620 Absolutely fine. 06:52:54.620 --> 06:52:59.020 Winning that first one, having Church and Arsenal to go to, such a strong hold 06:52:59.020 --> 06:53:01.900 and it gives them now that two round lead, bit of comfort. 06:53:01.900 --> 06:53:05.340 We're coming into that round now and at that all-important 5-3 score line 06:53:05.340 --> 06:53:09.460 I talk about it every time, 6-3, big difference to 5-4. 06:53:09.460 --> 06:53:14.580 DarkZero, they are going to come out and give everything to hold on to this CCTV. 06:53:14.580 --> 06:53:16.900 You're looking at possible matchups, does? 06:53:16.900 --> 06:53:19.780 They could be pretty brutal tomorrow. It's all regional matchups. 06:53:19.780 --> 06:53:25.220 You have VP versus Falcons, Wildcard against Five Fears and Enterprise versus Wave. 06:53:25.220 --> 06:53:26.180 Not confirmed yet. 06:53:26.180 --> 06:53:28.900 Not confirmed yet. It does depend on DarkZero in this series 06:53:28.900 --> 06:53:35.900 and it depends on five years when in their series they're currently at 1-0 in maps so you can probably assume they're going to crack on there and get it to a win. 06:53:36.900 --> 06:53:42.900 Well, well, well, well, it means every region loses a team if that is how it shakes down. 06:53:42.900 --> 06:53:47.900 On the other side of things, it guarantees one more EU team, one more N18 and an APAC team. 06:53:47.900 --> 06:53:53.900 We've actually got a very good split at the minute, I think. It's actually the Brazilians that are the big losers so far. 06:53:53.900 --> 06:53:59.460 so far. They're the ones that very, very unusually are struggling to get teams into 06:53:59.460 --> 06:54:02.980 that final live stage. They've only got phase. That's it. 06:54:02.980 --> 06:54:07.420 Put it out on Twitter earlier on. I also said earlier, they've only got phase. 06:54:07.420 --> 06:54:09.940 They've only got phase. They've only got phase and phase is going 06:54:09.940 --> 06:54:13.820 to go on and win it. Yeah. That is the expectation, I think, for 06:54:13.820 --> 06:54:17.380 a lot of people. You know, Phase Fury and G2 were coined as the three favourites, and 06:54:17.380 --> 06:54:21.500 I think Phase are the ones with the experiments quietly powered their way through the competition. 06:54:21.500 --> 06:54:25.780 2-0 over Wildcard they had, who's dominating with a 7-1 on map 1. 06:54:25.780 --> 06:54:28.820 Took him up to take an 8-7 win, but they got the job done. 06:54:28.820 --> 06:54:32.740 Very keen to see how they deliver on Friday alongside the other teams that will be joining them, 06:54:32.740 --> 06:54:35.860 and which VZ is looking likely to beat and get them off them. 06:54:35.860 --> 06:54:38.660 So, let's see how we can settle in for a gym at the Bedroom Defense. 06:54:38.660 --> 06:54:41.140 Wildcard have had that attack time, not a chance to recover. 06:54:41.140 --> 06:54:42.500 Ooh, no. 06:54:42.500 --> 06:54:43.860 There you come, my friends. 06:54:43.860 --> 06:54:45.220 Here they are. 06:54:45.220 --> 06:54:46.460 Oh! 06:54:46.460 --> 06:54:48.820 Oh! 06:54:48.820 --> 06:54:50.460 Get spun on, newers. 06:54:50.460 --> 06:54:59.760 Shark sits him down. Not the one you want to be targeting. We often say that you don't get to choose who it is on a spawn peak like that. 06:54:59.760 --> 06:55:07.960 I think if you'd had the prior knowledge that it was going to be Baby Shark, you might have just backed out of that and said he can hit a shot or two. 06:55:07.960 --> 06:55:08.960 Really big. 06:55:08.960 --> 06:55:11.260 I feel like this place can't think it's going to be the problem. 06:55:11.260 --> 06:55:12.760 Now they've got to deal with getting through this wall. 06:55:12.760 --> 06:55:15.460 This is where Baby Shark comes over and feeds it out as he has done. 06:55:15.460 --> 06:55:16.960 And that wall will go through. 06:55:16.960 --> 06:55:18.260 They're getting one back as entry. 06:55:18.260 --> 06:55:19.460 I guess a knife kill. Hello. 06:55:19.460 --> 06:55:22.960 And just like that, Dark Zero still starts turning the round on its head. 06:55:22.960 --> 06:55:26.960 Wildcard lose three all inside the first 50 seconds of the round. 06:55:26.960 --> 06:55:29.960 Yet again, they're in A2 versus three. 06:55:29.960 --> 06:55:31.960 Dark Zero didn't let the last one slip away from them, Tim. 06:55:31.960 --> 06:55:33.460 I doubt they'll let this one either. 06:55:33.460 --> 06:55:35.960 Yeah, Dark Zero just saw good on the defense. 06:55:35.960 --> 06:55:40.300 They play for each other fantastically, always a trade, always a backup. 06:55:40.300 --> 06:55:47.600 Anybody who wants to go and get a kill against them often has to put themselves in a bad position, a bad situation, and they punish them. 06:55:47.600 --> 06:55:50.100 They've got the clash left alive as well. 06:55:50.100 --> 06:55:54.760 This is going to be a rough finish for Wildcard if they want to get this round done. 06:55:54.760 --> 06:55:57.700 2 vs 3, next kill is essential. 06:55:57.700 --> 06:56:02.000 Hot and cold, working it from Jacuzzi Breach, sends in a little bit of utility, 06:56:02.000 --> 06:56:08.140 He's not going to follow that in because he knows what will happen if he does need to wait for spiker to make a bit of action 06:56:08.140 --> 06:56:11.880 Up main stairs here, but folks is sat waiting 06:56:12.860 --> 06:56:19.420 Flash for the course is a class you can now back out those of the feet but not quite able to finish off great covers off from the 06:56:19.420 --> 06:56:21.560 Breach at the same time well played by folks 06:56:21.560 --> 06:56:27.340 Yeah, absolutely brilliant shield player there if you're wondering where's the strategy wears the skill in the shields 06:56:27.340 --> 06:56:34.740 That's exactly it. Understanding how it covers your body, what angles you can use, your movement up and down, stairs, for example. 06:56:34.740 --> 06:56:40.040 How does that affect? Great stuff. Jnano is going to be taken out by a hot and cold on the secondary. 06:56:40.040 --> 06:56:46.640 It means that that clash gets a little bit weak now, because Fultz needs to think about planting that shield and getting onto his weapon. 06:56:46.640 --> 06:56:51.040 Diffuser is being teased for the time being, but how about it? 06:56:51.040 --> 06:56:55.440 Fultz was just waiting for Kino on the rotate, and then they pick up one apiece, 06:56:55.440 --> 06:57:00.800 and it is 6-3, Dark Zero cruising towards the live stage at the minute. 06:57:00.800 --> 06:57:04.320 I did say I thought that's where I might see Wildcard fight into this map a little bit, 06:57:04.320 --> 06:57:08.240 given their attacking prowess that we saw back on Nighthaven last, but sadly, 06:57:08.240 --> 06:57:12.640 they just aren't quite able to deliver the goods in this series. As said, 06:57:12.640 --> 06:57:16.080 assuming things will go according to plan, if five fears go on to be all gamers, 06:57:16.080 --> 06:57:21.600 and this ends up with a 2-0 to DZ, which looks very likely Wildcard will face five fears tomorrow. 06:57:21.600 --> 06:57:27.600 They're also face all gamers even so they face the winner of the series, Loser of the series sorry. 06:57:27.600 --> 06:57:32.600 So if that's all of our matchups tomorrow are pretty much locked in, as soon as you get this one done. 06:57:32.600 --> 06:57:36.600 That drops so NJR's throwing a Nitro at Logi Hatch. 06:57:36.600 --> 06:57:43.600 The Blackbeard drops right on top of him as he releases the Nitro so he just knifes it and has done with it. 06:57:43.600 --> 06:57:49.600 Unbelievable stuff as the Blackbeard is going to be absolutely human in that situation I think. 06:57:49.600 --> 06:57:52.200 Um, CCTV cash then for Dark Zero. 06:57:52.200 --> 06:57:54.240 Is it gonna be our final round? 06:57:54.240 --> 06:57:57.240 Are they going to be able to hold onto it 06:57:57.240 --> 06:57:58.480 and get the job done here? 06:57:58.480 --> 06:58:02.320 And now they've been very, very solid on the defense so far, 06:58:02.320 --> 06:58:04.360 and you would not bet against them. 06:58:04.360 --> 06:58:06.600 Wildcard need three in a row. 06:58:06.600 --> 06:58:10.600 Dark Zero just need one for the whole kickerboodle. 06:58:10.600 --> 06:58:14.720 The map, the series, and the place in the live finals. 06:58:14.720 --> 06:58:16.600 End it off on the Tachanka. 06:58:16.600 --> 06:58:19.480 not one that we see too often on this side. 06:58:19.480 --> 06:58:20.980 Five seconds left. 06:58:20.980 --> 06:58:22.340 I think we saw it a little bit earlier on. 06:58:22.340 --> 06:58:23.020 A little bit. 06:58:23.020 --> 06:58:25.220 It's creeping in a bit more. 06:58:25.220 --> 06:58:27.520 Again, it's a shot that you can absolutely 06:58:27.520 --> 06:58:30.340 make if you want to deny the server stacks. 06:58:30.340 --> 06:58:32.860 You can shoot over the top and you can bounce it back 06:58:32.860 --> 06:58:33.860 into that default spot. 06:58:33.860 --> 06:58:36.260 To defend me, after seeing his tech on Night Heaven Labs, 06:58:36.260 --> 06:58:37.460 I'll let him play on any side. 06:58:37.460 --> 06:58:39.660 Anyway, he'll find some interesting angles. 06:58:39.660 --> 06:58:41.940 Man's studying geometry while playing Siege. 06:58:41.940 --> 06:58:44.420 We'll see what else he can find for this one in particular. 06:58:44.420 --> 06:58:49.060 play it back in round seven. If it worked for, well, well, it picks what ain't broken. 06:58:49.060 --> 06:58:54.180 Quite literally getting the set square and protractor out, I think, on the straight. 06:58:54.180 --> 06:59:00.180 The slide rule is coming into effect. Right, okay, we've got a whole top floor hold coming in from 06:59:00.180 --> 06:59:05.140 Dartsiro. Kino is out in master bedroom, going to be coming under immediate pressure as Jacuzzi 06:59:05.140 --> 06:59:10.660 wall is opened. Drones go in, and this is something we've been seeing a lot more for CCTV 06:59:10.660 --> 06:59:15.140 Kashry recently is not just an extension to Master and Jim that's not 06:59:15.140 --> 06:59:19.340 like the the biggest news but it's the commitment it's the reinforcements that 06:59:19.340 --> 06:59:23.860 are going with it it's the double kill from Kino on the Jager putting the 417 06:59:23.860 --> 06:59:30.740 to use managing to find two Twitch and Deimos baby shark and Bay I don't think 06:59:30.740 --> 06:59:35.060 that could have been a worst start for Wildcard no not when Bayton playing as 06:59:35.060 --> 06:59:40.980 as well as he has been, you know down to Kansans Fiker and Hot and Cold, Hot and Cold 06:59:40.980 --> 06:59:44.620 especially not having a particularly bad map, but he's sat here on the Monty. How much 06:59:44.620 --> 06:59:49.340 can he really do against everything else that sits on the other side? All the fire available 06:59:49.340 --> 06:59:53.580 for NJR, yes, there are no C4s to play behind. That's why you can start out doing that, Tim, 06:59:53.580 --> 06:59:57.700 his second kill of the map could be a critical one, Kino, the one to fall, the one who'd 06:59:57.700 --> 06:59:59.140 already found two in the round. 06:59:59.140 --> 07:00:03.020 Yeah, the thing is that Dark Zero just made the call, you saw it happen in front of you 07:00:03.020 --> 07:00:04.660 with the silhouettes, right, everybody back. 07:00:04.660 --> 07:00:06.420 We don't need to give them anything here. 07:00:06.420 --> 07:00:08.780 All drop back and just play the long game. 07:00:08.780 --> 07:00:10.980 Just let them play into our angles. 07:00:10.980 --> 07:00:12.420 They know that they're not pushing breach. 07:00:12.420 --> 07:00:14.060 They know that they're not pushing catwalk. 07:00:14.060 --> 07:00:15.900 So they don't really need to worry about 07:00:15.900 --> 07:00:16.900 where they defend from. 07:00:16.900 --> 07:00:19.220 They can defend from inside a CCTV, 07:00:19.220 --> 07:00:20.500 which is exactly what they're doing, 07:00:20.500 --> 07:00:22.020 and they can just hold them up there 07:00:22.020 --> 07:00:23.300 with the Shumiko launcher. 07:00:23.300 --> 07:00:25.380 Can they just manage to find J9-0?

We've got twisted minds phase 07:08:05.500 --> 07:08:09.300 We've got g2 dark zero and Shopify rebellion that have gone through today 07:08:10.020 --> 07:08:11.660 Eliminated on the left hand side 07:08:11.660 --> 07:08:15.440 We've got Kagan furia and we've got one still to join them 07:08:15.440 --> 07:08:18.480 but NIP and loss a bad day for the Brazilians today. 07:08:18.480 --> 07:08:21.640 And then tomorrow we will see those final three games. 07:08:21.640 --> 07:08:23.000 They've got to go one by the way, haven't they? 07:08:23.000 --> 07:08:24.360 Tomorrow again, I said earlier on, 07:08:24.360 --> 07:08:26.280 it's horrible knowing that if you win, 07:08:26.280 --> 07:08:27.400 you've got what you always wanted. 07:08:27.400 --> 07:08:28.880 You get to play on the live stage 07:08:28.880 --> 07:08:30.560 in front of a crowd here in Salt Lake City. 07:08:30.560 --> 07:08:33.400 But if you lose, why are you on the next plane home? 07:08:33.400 --> 07:08:34.600 And that's going to be heartbreaking. 07:08:34.600 --> 07:08:36.240 I tell you what, Tim, for all six of them tomorrow, 07:08:36.240 --> 07:08:37.080 I wish them all the best, 07:08:37.080 --> 07:08:38.360 because it is going to be a rough day. 07:08:38.360 --> 07:08:39.560 And we've seen some good performances. 07:08:39.560 --> 07:08:42.040 Enterprise, you and I took a lot of like into early on. 07:08:42.040 --> 07:08:44.080 They're in there tomorrow, wild card. 07:08:44.080 --> 07:08:45.880 This wasn't a good performance for them. 07:08:45.880 --> 07:08:48.680 Only one player, Bago, in positives through the whole series. 07:08:48.680 --> 07:08:50.120 They've got to turn it round before tomorrow. 07:08:50.120 --> 07:08:52.440 I can guarantee you the team's going to be up late tonight. 07:08:52.440 --> 07:08:54.600 Workshopping, how the hell they get this done tomorrow 07:08:54.600 --> 07:08:56.760 so they can play on that stage in front of a home crowd. 07:08:56.760 --> 07:08:58.000 Yeah, a lot of work to be done. 07:08:58.000 --> 07:08:59.360 And that's, you know, the flip side of that 07:08:59.360 --> 07:09:01.160 is something you can't, you know, 07:09:01.160 --> 07:09:03.080 sort of play down too much for the teams 07:09:03.080 --> 07:09:04.120 that are through already. 07:09:04.120 --> 07:09:05.680 They get that couple of days off. 07:09:05.680 --> 07:09:07.000 They can have a little bit of rest, 07:09:07.000 --> 07:09:08.240 a little bit of relaxation, 07:09:08.240 --> 07:09:11.400 but also a lot of work to be prepping ready 07:09:11.400 --> 07:09:12.920 for who they think, you know, 07:09:12.920 --> 07:09:19.220 that they might go up against who's it? You know, obviously it's a draw so they don't necessarily know, but you get ready for everybody, a bit of everything. 07:09:19.220 --> 07:09:24.420 Well, at some point, Tim, you've got to play through all the teams in one way or another, either that team themselves or a team that has beaten them. 07:09:24.420 --> 07:09:30.220 You've got to go through quarters, semis, and of course, the Grands. So there's going to be a lot of prep to do. 07:09:30.220 --> 07:09:36.020 Either way, though, we hear still, of course, that the B-stream is still going on. As mentioned, you have all games coming up against five fears. 07:09:36.020 --> 07:09:41.020 Let's jump in and watch that now. We'll see you guys tomorrow on the A-stream for more action, but for now, enjoy the rest of this series. 07:10:12.920 --> 07:10:38.280 I'm not sure five years know about because when we saw the drill work, we saw them spot 07:10:38.280 --> 07:10:42.280 I don't know if we ever saw this bottom of pillows. 07:10:42.280 --> 07:10:43.280 They did not. 07:10:43.280 --> 07:10:44.280 Well, now they know. 07:10:44.280 --> 07:10:47.280 They did spot them, but unable to react in time to the gurs not mine, 07:10:47.280 --> 07:10:51.280 so JJ will be full health, and now completely okay. 07:10:51.280 --> 07:10:53.280 Actually, it wasn't, it was flizzish. 07:10:53.280 --> 07:10:54.280 Yeah, it was forest, my mistake. 07:10:54.280 --> 07:10:56.280 The other yellow icon to operate it. 07:10:56.280 --> 07:10:57.280 Thank you. 07:10:57.280 --> 07:10:59.280 Put the words right out of my mouth. 07:10:59.280 --> 07:11:02.280 Snake there on the cutoff from master as well. 07:11:02.280 --> 07:11:04.280 Maybe looking for the adjustment here. 07:11:04.280 --> 07:11:06.280 Forest is now positioned from highway. 07:11:06.280 --> 07:11:09.320 This seems to be a plant over from the solar side of the map. 07:11:09.320 --> 07:11:11.160 There is one nitricle left for Railgun. 07:11:11.160 --> 07:11:13.720 He'll try to swing out, but Fence punishes him. 07:11:13.720 --> 07:11:16.520 And the plant is successful for five fears. 07:11:16.520 --> 07:11:17.800 Wow, what a gap spot. 07:11:17.800 --> 07:11:19.400 And the coverage is perfect. 07:11:19.400 --> 07:11:20.880 Fence able to get away. 07:11:20.880 --> 07:11:23.000 Two solo mid cleans up JJ, though, 07:11:23.000 --> 07:11:25.440 while he attempts to kill Macy through the footholds. 07:11:25.440 --> 07:11:27.960 Forest cleans up Macy. 07:11:27.960 --> 07:11:30.120 And now look at these post plant positions from five fears. 07:11:30.120 --> 07:11:32.680 You have one outside double window, one down below, 07:11:32.680 --> 07:11:33.880 one outside solar. 07:11:33.880 --> 07:11:35.400 This is going to be basically impossible 07:11:35.400 --> 07:11:42.880 Fens gets his third moonlight finally out of his misery and five fears take round number one Fens with three 07:11:43.600 --> 07:11:47.640 An incredible gap spotted as well for five fears there 07:11:47.640 --> 07:11:51.300 Their initial idea was to try to get that shield inside a library 07:11:51.300 --> 07:11:57.440 But they take their time together info before jumping the gun they don't know what they're giving themselves into they spot two people downstairs 07:11:57.680 --> 07:11:59.680 Fens winning one of those two entries 07:11:59.680 --> 07:12:04.440 initially, and their highway players now trading. So if JJ were to push in by 07:12:04.440 --> 07:12:08.520 himself from library, he doesn't really have anyone close by to a system. So what 07:12:08.520 --> 07:12:11.520 they do instead, they take more time together in form, realize, wait a minute, 07:12:11.520 --> 07:12:16.160 there's all this off-site presence by dining room, over by library and bar. 07:12:16.160 --> 07:12:20.400 Let's just rotate. We could get Blackbird in behind the master bed and try to get 07:12:20.400 --> 07:12:24.080 this plant down. And as long as we kill the Mira with her nitro cell, that's all 07:12:24.080 --> 07:12:27.600 we have to really worry about before we get this plant down. And because the 07:12:27.600 --> 07:12:33.920 Mira overextended herself into that line site Benz was holding easy pickings for him now 07:12:33.920 --> 07:12:38.240 You've got a post plant position in that man advantage and plenty of cutoff angles from outside the map again 07:12:38.240 --> 07:12:43.980 That's something we've highlighted before heading in a shali officially is that you get a lot of damage from just sitting 07:12:43.980 --> 07:12:51.120 Someone outside on an angle because how much you can watch in terms of defender rotations that round proving the point perfectly is five 07:12:51.120 --> 07:12:55.000 Fears get a buddy ace and a round win off the jump on their map there 07:12:55.000 --> 07:13:00.000 I didn't realize Forest also had two there. Now, our gamer is going to swap to Barr. 07:13:00.000 --> 07:13:04.000 They, of course, have this upstairs extension from Macy on the Orooni. 07:13:04.000 --> 07:13:09.000 Yes, playing over towards Office, probably just shooting for drones, and fall back, just like Moonlight is all the way by Solar. 07:13:09.000 --> 07:13:12.000 Do not expect them to stay there. 07:13:12.000 --> 07:13:16.000 Five Fears, still rocking the snake this time. Fens will thaw on that operative. 07:13:16.000 --> 07:13:21.000 There's plenty of information in combination with him, Malion, the Dokebe, and Fens will start things off. 07:13:21.000 --> 07:13:27.660 as I said don't expect Moonlight to stay there. I thought he was gonna fall back not hit the ground the Izami is dead 07:13:28.020 --> 07:13:32.700 Within 30 seconds, that's like 80% of her Keebas are now gone 07:13:33.280 --> 07:13:39.560 That's why the best operator you had for your extension upstairs. It's a very light hold by all gamers 07:13:39.720 --> 07:13:42.760 some of the stereotypes can be helpful of course for library, but 07:13:43.400 --> 07:13:46.120 The Keebas are basically just inflatable shields, right? 07:13:46.120 --> 07:13:53.200 And I remember back in the old like well my Jaeger met a how strong the shield combination was top blue and over by mezz 07:13:53.440 --> 07:13:58.880 Now you've got nothing to really supplement that unless Railgun brought his one deployable shield 07:13:59.480 --> 07:14:01.480 Upstairs if it hasn't been destroyed already 07:14:01.600 --> 07:14:03.960 I kind of doubt that though 07:14:03.960 --> 07:14:08.840 So a great opening pick to find for five years out of all the defenders in the roster of all gamers 07:14:08.840 --> 07:14:12.520 It's also very easy to spite a yokai on the board to still get this plant down 07:14:12.520 --> 07:14:16.500 You already have forced applying pressure from the site window spotting the Fender's head 07:14:16.500 --> 07:14:19.340 But unable to adjust his crosshair and time to flick onto it 07:14:19.740 --> 07:14:24.580 It's still tons of information and lurks now being established as well for five years 07:14:24.580 --> 07:14:29.220 Which the lurk was detected and shut down a couple of times by all gamers 07:14:29.220 --> 07:14:33.180 But still we had moments where snake was able to get some success on the basis for bombsite 07:14:33.180 --> 07:14:40.800 So maybe we can see that happen once again here in round two and the Aruni has absolutely no idea that snake has jumped through the double window 07:14:40.800 --> 07:15:09.800 5-3 advantage for 5 Fears, rival confirming full control of Library, Forest also holding on the IV window, through the Vert, Snake almost kills Solo mid, Yaz also spotted Top Main and it looks like through the first couple rounds, 5 Fears just have every single possible avenue accounted for, even JJ getting on the board outside the bar window on the Solo mid, the Echo caught in a rotate and it is flawlessly done by 5 Fears. 07:15:10.800 --> 07:15:18.000 And don't get me wrong Harrison. This is the map pick of five fears. This is not the side they wanted to start on and 07:15:18.960 --> 07:15:20.720 This is one of their best 07:15:20.720 --> 07:15:22.760 This is one of their best halves in general 07:15:22.760 --> 07:15:24.520 They're an incredible attacking team 07:15:24.520 --> 07:15:29.680 But just the way they've been winning this rounds the way they've been catching all gamers off guard 07:15:29.680 --> 07:15:34.840 That is the concern for me in all honesty and you know because this is not five fears is initial 07:15:34.840 --> 07:15:38.520 You know choosing side that means all gamers wanted to start on defense 07:15:38.520 --> 07:15:43.900 They wanted some more comfort by being able to set the tempo set the precedent maybe looking for those early entries 07:15:43.900 --> 07:15:49.020 They're now currently owing to one entry against Fens and they're forcing attack timeout early 07:15:49.260 --> 07:15:56.220 Meaning they will have no room to breathe if their attacks also start on the wrong foot like we've seen here on defense 07:15:56.220 --> 07:15:58.420 So they still have four rounds to play with on defense 07:15:58.420 --> 07:16:03.660 So they could get a pretty decent half of themselves then going into their preferred side of attack as well obviously 07:16:03.660 --> 07:16:06.740 But this has been a near perfect start 07:16:06.740 --> 07:16:12.220 by five fears. Again, their entry games spot on. They've detected multiple 07:16:12.220 --> 07:16:15.620 different gaps. Snake as well specifically in round number two. I don't 07:16:15.620 --> 07:16:19.300 know if he either hacked the Syria gate or just used a smoke grenade to burn it, 07:16:19.300 --> 07:16:25.780 but getting through completely unnoticed by MC, it just cut the head off of that 07:16:25.780 --> 07:16:30.060 snake from the top floor extension from the player. That wasn't it. That was 07:16:30.060 --> 07:16:33.380 not intentional. I swear I'm not that smart of a guy, but player snake or the 07:16:33.380 --> 07:16:35.380 That's animals. 07:16:35.380 --> 07:16:39.380 That's a pretty big number. 07:16:39.380 --> 07:16:41.380 You're getting near my limit, Harrison. 07:16:41.380 --> 07:16:44.380 I only got a couple more digits before things start getting weird. 07:16:44.380 --> 07:16:48.380 By the way, we want to welcome the A-stream viewers to the B-stream, 07:16:48.380 --> 07:16:55.380 as Jon DarkZero have confirmed their spot in playoffs, winning 2-0 over Wildcard. 07:16:55.380 --> 07:17:02.380 And if the information I have received is correct, the winner of this game will play a problem. 07:17:32.380 --> 07:17:36.780 where the snake died on highway, but then five years with that beautiful rotate to the other side on 07:17:37.180 --> 07:17:43.640 For the master exit man dining and kitchen five years obviously going to be looking to clear upstairs all gamers have plenty of 07:17:43.640 --> 07:17:46.020 DMRs to challenge these long angles upstairs 07:17:46.020 --> 07:17:53.140 You've got moonlight and solo mid Yaz and MC also supporting so there's four people on this top four extension 07:17:53.540 --> 07:17:55.220 Love the early gridlock 07:17:55.220 --> 07:18:01.380 Tracks to your usage as well cutting off two of the major staircase is on shall way and the piano swing from Ivy 07:18:01.380 --> 07:18:09.780 So that does allow for a safer setup allowing JJ to walk in his stature, remove this electricity off the main wall upstairs. 07:18:09.780 --> 07:18:16.680 That'll be the cave claw disabled. It cannot be tricked against both the Selma charges and the Thatcher EMPs, 07:18:16.680 --> 07:18:20.040 but it will be prolonged with the help of this two-brow Zodo canister. 07:18:20.340 --> 07:18:25.980 JJ spotting the cave claw on his gadget will proc it once again before the electricity is 07:18:26.820 --> 07:18:28.820 reapplied off that Zodo canister 07:18:28.820 --> 07:18:35.700 Being removed tons of utility being traded back and forth between five years and all gamers as it is only a matter of time 07:18:35.900 --> 07:18:39.280 Before this wall gets opened up, but at least to all gamers credit 07:18:39.280 --> 07:18:44.980 They're burning away a lot of seconds off five years as clock moonlight though officially out of zoto canisters 07:18:44.980 --> 07:18:49.300 Of course thatcher has more EMPs than tuber out has freezes 07:18:49.300 --> 07:18:55.460 So the wall will eventually fall now five years have that avenue into the top floor 07:18:55.460 --> 07:19:00.740 extension, they can hold outside office. The next question is, John, what do Five Fears do from here? 07:19:00.740 --> 07:19:04.660 Because there's always two possibilities, right? You open the office wall, you either sit someone on 07:19:04.660 --> 07:19:10.660 the balcony, hold it, and deny the vert, or you mount a full top floor clear. We'll see if Five 07:19:10.660 --> 07:19:15.860 Fears decide to go minimal here in a moment, but with Fens running in the middle of piano and the 07:19:15.860 --> 07:19:20.420 drones confirming these couple of defender positions pushed back towards solar, I think Five Fears 07:19:20.420 --> 07:19:24.020 are going for the clear. They've dropped the defusers, Wal Harrison, they're pushing deeper 07:19:24.020 --> 07:19:27.500 through piano I think they want to take these gunfights, JJ now recovering that 07:19:27.500 --> 07:19:31.580 case. Still upstairs however is another body. It's only a matter of time before 07:19:31.580 --> 07:19:35.500 Five Fears trying to look for someone overextending to work this first entry 07:19:35.500 --> 07:19:38.580 but they've got so much map control and that lack of vertical could maybe allow 07:19:38.580 --> 07:19:41.820 them to slip in the site and get a plant down. They're looking for someone 07:19:41.820 --> 07:19:46.700 overextending but the problem is nobody is. Yes but they opening pick onto rival 07:19:46.700 --> 07:19:49.820 and that takes away one of these players upstairs for the attack and it 07:19:49.820 --> 07:19:52.660 seems like off of that Five Fears are gonna decide you know what we don't 07:19:52.660 --> 07:20:02.660 No need to full clear, let's just have people hold. Railgun tries to rotate into the objective, cut down by JJ, but now both he and Forrest die to solo mid holding the long-angle trophy. 07:20:02.660 --> 07:20:14.660 A 3 vs 2 in the favor of all gamers, now just up to Snake, not even able to find the kill through the vert. Moonlight domes him with the pistol, and that puts all gamers on the board. 07:20:14.660 --> 07:20:17.360 immediately after the tack chime out as well, Harrison. 07:20:17.360 --> 07:20:21.280 That is exactly what all gamers need for their defensive half. 07:20:21.280 --> 07:20:24.800 Good composure by them, again, not overextending on the rotates. 07:20:24.800 --> 07:20:26.800 They hear the audio from highway. 07:20:26.800 --> 07:20:29.600 They see that window opened up, looking into bathroom, 07:20:29.600 --> 07:20:34.320 seeing the entirety of that back half of solar and master. 07:20:34.320 --> 07:20:37.360 They see all this pressure building up on the master window or Pell. 07:20:37.360 --> 07:20:39.360 Two people directly inside of office. 07:20:39.360 --> 07:20:42.160 That's four people committed to the top floor and no one's died yet. 07:20:42.160 --> 07:20:46.780 That means basically no one can work their way down below to try to get a plant. Yes JJ 07:20:46.780 --> 07:20:50.460 Does at least spot one player a bit overextended inside a dining room 07:20:50.460 --> 07:20:54.880 But you still have the malusi and solo mid without a rune DMR watching from across 07:20:55.320 --> 07:20:58.720 The first floor to guard the only safe avenue 07:20:59.260 --> 07:21:05.120 Leading into sight because I believe the ace had used almost all their salmas if not every Selma 07:21:05.120 --> 07:21:11.820 Yeah upstairs to help clear the extension which you know kind of seems like a bit of an error now because that 07:21:12.160 --> 07:21:16.460 That composition looks so focused towards going in for a post-plane. 07:21:16.460 --> 07:21:19.760 You had smoke grenades, you had a glass for those long lines of sight. 07:21:19.760 --> 07:21:26.460 And yes, we had secondary shotguns on gridlock and brava, but really no dedicated perk operator. 07:21:26.460 --> 07:21:31.960 So it just, it seemed like a lot of time was spent upstairs without really any game by five years. 07:21:31.960 --> 07:21:35.660 Yeah, weird that they used so many summons on that office wall. 07:21:35.660 --> 07:21:41.100 as you saw towards the end right JJ even EMPed the Titanfall like they were gonna go 07:21:42.220 --> 07:21:47.580 like they were gonna try and open it all gamers go back to master where five years started off with 07:21:47.580 --> 07:21:52.860 that really impressive rotation after clearing one of the players down below we'll see where they 07:21:52.860 --> 07:21:57.980 spawn it's all library side so we'll probably go for the library over clear that they had 07:21:57.980 --> 07:22:03.820 initially wanted to attempt in round number one before the rotate there is no one playing 07:22:03.820 --> 07:22:09.980 Bar for for the defense everybody's here upstairs, so we should see five years come up to this 07:22:13.180 --> 07:22:17.320 Now more utility emphasized by all gamers extending into mezzanine though 07:22:17.580 --> 07:22:21.020 We've got Goyo Vulcan packs burning away a lot of precious time 07:22:21.020 --> 07:22:26.760 Maybe you can deal in damage if someone overextended into them and the asami kivas making MC's position 07:22:26.760 --> 07:22:32.800 very favorable to take gunfights from library while also avoiding that cutoff angle held 07:22:32.800 --> 07:22:34.620 by the office double window. 07:22:34.620 --> 07:22:39.060 One they tossed out, keep it deployed preemptively, maybe to avoid some vert if Snake were to 07:22:39.060 --> 07:22:41.140 go down below with these deathmark trackers. 07:22:41.140 --> 07:22:43.060 That's exactly what he'll be attempting here. 07:22:43.060 --> 07:22:46.980 So now the Azami can waste even more time and resources and maybe still work a gunfight 07:22:46.980 --> 07:22:47.980 in their favor. 07:22:47.980 --> 07:22:51.260 And Moonlight kills Snake the day most down below. 07:22:51.260 --> 07:22:58.340 Where oh, he's moonlight probably just descended the blue stairs to kill him and then walk back up to hold his position 07:22:58.340 --> 07:23:05.220 Top blue and prevent anyone from jumping in through Ivy window or walk the staircase to try and pinch onto MC 07:23:05.220 --> 07:23:12.220 Five fears a minute and a half into the round kind of stuck here JJ finally just gonna jump in the library and try to make something 07:23:12.220 --> 07:23:14.220 happen along with fence 07:23:15.020 --> 07:23:18.180 There is the echo in play though, so JJ is gonna have to be careful 07:23:18.180 --> 07:23:22.340 One burst and he'll be exposed to the gun of MC. 07:23:22.340 --> 07:23:28.820 Trying to isolate this Ella now, JJ drops the hatch, maybe looking to call up the staircase on of it, 07:23:28.820 --> 07:23:30.980 Railgun in the meantime has killed Rival. 07:23:30.980 --> 07:23:35.620 And JJ dies to the Ella who's still on Blue Stairs. 07:23:35.620 --> 07:23:40.260 Kills though, come the way of Five Fears Forest, finding two in Lobby. 07:23:40.260 --> 07:23:44.340 And just like that, I thought this was going to be a lockout for all gamers, 07:23:44.340 --> 07:23:46.260 but Five Fears have brought it back to a two on two. 07:23:46.260 --> 07:23:54.460 The echo is still alive. He could rotate these yokai's into site and play for Intel late round because there's only 40 seconds left to work with here 07:23:54.460 --> 07:23:59.620 Harrison, and I think that's what Solomon is going for they understand five years are hitting a reset 07:23:59.620 --> 07:24:04.580 They want to look for Intel on their own and maybe look to set up together to allow this plant to go down 07:24:04.580 --> 07:24:08.000 Mahabana's opened up the main breach that can allow fence to walk in 07:24:08.340 --> 07:24:15.180 Secure a plant potentially and use these ash charges maybe get burnt underneath if they don't want to play outside instead 07:24:15.180 --> 07:24:21.740 They'll use the ash charge to make a runnable entry way without the UCs exteriors charges and now switching positions to go for the plant 07:24:21.740 --> 07:24:26.700 But again because solo mid has rotated those yokais and Ella having two gersvot mines 07:24:26.700 --> 07:24:33.060 They could easily stop this plant with only 10 seconds left yokai I think getting shot the walls being reinforced means this is just gonna 07:24:33.060 --> 07:24:34.780 Have to be a run-up in master 07:24:34.780 --> 07:24:40.820 Here's the flame from moonlight caught by the ass the plate goes down and five fears are just one kill away from being up 07:24:40.820 --> 07:24:46.100 3-1 after an immense off-site hold from all gamers. 07:24:47.940 --> 07:24:53.220 And I was just about ready to sing the praises of all gamers on an extension they had so much 07:24:53.860 --> 07:24:57.540 to stop the library pushing with the help of that Blackbeard, 07:24:57.540 --> 07:25:04.420 Yo-Kai for information, Gershmots to slow them down, the Kiva barriers to deny the Deimos 07:25:04.420 --> 07:25:09.620 from killing the guy Mez without directly confronting him or his teammate of Moonlight, 07:25:09.620 --> 07:25:14.380 Well, I believe either like you said walk down blue to kill Snake in a one-for-one or looking through the hatch 07:25:15.020 --> 07:25:19.980 Into bar, which we're gonna crazy angle if that were true. I'm not 100% sure but regardless 07:25:19.980 --> 07:25:22.660 It was on blue good comms on that Harrison 07:25:23.020 --> 07:25:28.020 But regardless of that they were so tunnel visioned on shutting down the blackbeard 07:25:28.020 --> 07:25:30.460 They had no one on cams to check for lobby 07:25:30.860 --> 07:25:35.980 Forest walked up main stairs and killed two if not three people and all of a sudden the rounds winnable 07:25:35.980 --> 07:25:43.580 You're in a two versus two and immediately when five minutes go for that plant, they destroy the only yokai left in that round 07:25:43.580 --> 07:25:49.780 and Ella who had two gherzmots in pocket, is the guy flanking and dies because Benz was prepared for it. 07:25:49.780 --> 07:25:51.980 Five beers, read them like a book. 07:25:51.980 --> 07:25:57.580 And it was so easy to catch him because all gamers reinforced both of the Ivy walls. 07:25:57.580 --> 07:26:01.980 So you basically isolate the angles that you can throw to Ella mine. 07:26:01.980 --> 07:26:07.580 You basically isolate the angles that you can pressure the planter from for the attacker. 07:26:08.380 --> 07:26:13.680 A strange play from all gamers and results in another incredible recovery for Five Fears. 07:26:13.680 --> 07:26:15.480 And I think we're about to see a rush. 07:26:15.780 --> 07:26:21.380 Smokes and nades in through the drone hole, in comes Forest on the Black Fear, the C4 gets EMPed! 07:26:21.580 --> 07:26:22.680 FUN FENS! 07:26:22.680 --> 07:26:31.280 What a play Forest gives the opening pick just to add insult to injury and it's basically a 5v5 plant from the NA squad. 07:26:31.980 --> 07:26:38.680 4 vs 4 as Lyon gets picked off, but still the advantage, squarely in the hands of Five Fears. 07:26:38.680 --> 07:26:44.980 They still have two shields left alive. They still have Snake on the glass, who can sit on the long angle. 07:26:44.980 --> 07:26:49.880 With the location of this case, you cannot long arm this. 07:26:49.880 --> 07:26:55.080 You have to be exposed to one of the angles on the windows, and so much time has been wasted. 07:26:55.080 --> 07:27:00.280 Jon, there was 17 seconds just now in the timer, and we were still in a 4 vs 4. 07:27:00.280 --> 07:27:04.280 A couple bodies now from Allgamers falls, everyone from Five Fears starting to take the bite. 07:27:04.280 --> 07:27:05.280 But they have no time! 07:27:05.280 --> 07:27:08.280 Because they know that the time is too low. 07:27:11.280 --> 07:27:17.280 And just like that, Five Fears Harrison, 4-1 in the first half. 07:27:17.280 --> 07:27:22.280 The only resurgence from Allgamers has been the dining room defensive site. 07:27:22.280 --> 07:27:26.280 They'll probably go here again for the last round of the first half, 07:27:26.280 --> 07:27:30.820 But this has been such a rough look from all gamers. 07:27:30.820 --> 07:27:37.820 They only had one option, one Hail Mary, a C4 from the mirror to stop that plant. 07:27:37.820 --> 07:27:39.400 And JJ and Co were prepared for it. 07:27:39.400 --> 07:27:44.820 Five Fierce had the Thatcher in their selection, perfectly shot out to destroy and disable that 07:27:44.820 --> 07:27:51.460 nitro cell, allowing for the plant to go down because of the lack of echo in that composition 07:27:51.460 --> 07:27:52.460 from all gamers. 07:27:52.460 --> 07:27:56.960 Now you've got a post plan again the outside positions we've highlighted in the past are 07:27:57.320 --> 07:28:03.280 Extremely strong for five years when they're already in a post plan position two shields still up and alive 07:28:03.280 --> 07:28:07.300 Just way too many bodies for all gamers to challenge without you know 07:28:07.300 --> 07:28:14.420 Risking themselves of either putting someone on that diffuser and having them run down someone running out and giving away their position and again 07:28:14.420 --> 07:28:17.300 Five years just having all their bases covered 07:28:17.300 --> 07:28:22.140 We are going to be going back down to Dining as we had mentioned earlier by all gamers. 07:28:22.140 --> 07:28:28.420 Extending once again over towards Library, which I don't necessarily hate, but you know, 07:28:28.420 --> 07:28:31.340 five fears, they've already won the four default attack rounds. 07:28:31.340 --> 07:28:35.420 Maybe, maybe with this composition they have Harrison, do they just want to go for another 07:28:35.420 --> 07:28:36.420 rush? 07:28:36.420 --> 07:28:39.860 I really, I really want to know, are they going to go for more of a Solar Clear? 07:28:39.860 --> 07:28:42.420 Look at where they're pushing that right now, a Forrest and Snake. 07:28:42.420 --> 07:28:45.900 I was thinking maybe it was going to be a fast play with the Ying and the Dokobi and 07:28:45.900 --> 07:28:49.820 in the Rauora, but it's all right, JJ to get the first kill 07:28:49.820 --> 07:28:53.180 from the window rappel onto Yaz, 07:28:53.180 --> 07:28:55.660 one of the most powerful cutoffs in the game. 07:28:55.660 --> 07:28:56.980 Your warden is gone. 07:28:56.980 --> 07:28:59.020 Now these smokes and yin canisters 07:28:59.020 --> 07:29:00.940 become so much more powerful. 07:29:00.940 --> 07:29:04.260 MC kills rival on highway from the Ivy window, however. 07:29:04.260 --> 07:29:06.100 In comes more utility upstairs. 07:29:06.100 --> 07:29:07.700 Forrest is in the bomb site, 07:29:07.700 --> 07:29:10.380 and he has no idea that Railgun is wrapping around him. 07:29:10.380 --> 07:29:11.620 Now the fight being taken against, 07:29:11.620 --> 07:29:13.540 spends the shotgun down to the dope, 07:29:13.540 --> 07:29:14.580 being out of nowhere, 07:29:14.580 --> 07:29:32.800 What seemed like an almost insurmountable advantage for five fears moving in through top floor sight control as well has devolved into a 1v3 for snake thanks to the efforts of rail gun on the bombsite killing forest and fens snake tussling around split with the shotgun this is a dangerous fight 07:29:32.800 --> 07:29:34.800 Hit fires, rail gun! 07:29:34.800 --> 07:29:38.800 First bullet headshot, no ABS required! 07:29:38.800 --> 07:29:40.800 Case though, not in hand. 07:29:40.800 --> 07:29:42.800 It's inside A, inside kitchen. 07:29:42.800 --> 07:29:48.800 Both MC and solo mid must know that thanks to the comms from rail gun. 07:29:48.800 --> 07:29:52.800 Snake, I don't think he's going to be interested in trying to push upstairs. 07:29:52.800 --> 07:29:55.800 He destroys the bullet proof cam. 07:29:55.800 --> 07:29:56.800 There might be another one. 07:29:56.800 --> 07:29:59.800 Yeah, there's two being brought, one from MC, one from solo mid. 07:29:59.800 --> 07:30:07.000 So there is still some site info for all gamers snakes drone basically useless because it's right next to a signal jammed 07:30:07.440 --> 07:30:12.220 Drone hole upstairs. He goes. He's gonna try and look for the fights. Maybe bait 07:30:13.200 --> 07:30:18.000 Shot sent in now looking to recover case has to worry about the hatch. He's out of candelas 07:30:18.680 --> 07:30:23.440 So it'll be no more blinds as he attempts to plant in the default corner by kitchen 07:30:23.440 --> 07:30:26.040 For the Cality looking to be established by solo mid 07:30:26.040 --> 07:30:29.880 It's in the wrong spot, but it does take Snake off his plant attempt. 07:30:29.880 --> 07:30:32.280 Looking for the floorbank, does some damage. 07:30:32.280 --> 07:30:35.120 Rotates in through B, hoping that there's less information here. 07:30:35.120 --> 07:30:37.280 There's one more bulletproof that he can deal with. 07:30:37.280 --> 07:30:41.000 Been planting once again in a rather safe corner. 07:30:41.000 --> 07:30:45.600 You can tell all gamers don't know exactly where it is, but still Snake is being forced off this plant 07:30:45.600 --> 07:30:47.840 and so much time being wasted. 07:30:47.840 --> 07:30:53.640 Now just trying to do it on the doorway, but he couldn't be exposed to that angle from Trophy by MC. 07:30:53.640 --> 07:30:59.940 Solo mid once again finds him thanks to the verticality and thanks to the band she calling out his position now 07:30:59.940 --> 07:31:06.140 Just planting in full view of the hatch halfway through verticality from solo mid though. He's not checking the hatch 07:31:06.140 --> 07:31:09.500 He lets it go down and now snakes got the post plant 07:31:09.500 --> 07:31:16.360 He can just watch this hatch finds the sentry we're in a one versus one and all he has to do is wait and 07:31:16.740 --> 07:31:20.720 See now downstairs work his way through split gets the wall bang 07:31:20.720 --> 07:31:26.720 Whether he knows it or not, Snake is downed and all gamers have a 2-4 half. 07:31:26.720 --> 07:31:30.720 A sigh of relief washing over all gamers. 07:31:30.720 --> 07:31:36.720 As they've got plenty of time left on the counter diffused, they'll end the half 2-4. 07:31:36.720 --> 07:31:44.720 A good look still for 5 fears on their map pick, but they're still a sign of life for the full Chinese team. 07:31:44.720 --> 07:31:52.720 It'll be the halftime now, a clip sync for five years in all gamers and the coach perspective for our comms. 07:31:52.720 --> 07:31:56.720 We breathe, okay, take time to go back to some calm. 07:31:56.720 --> 07:31:58.720 Pushy pushy. 07:31:58.720 --> 07:32:20.200 I saw from them that the heavy traps line up, then I will turn ELA every time. 07:32:20.200 --> 07:32:24.960 So we can ban thenary ELA, right? 07:32:24.960 --> 07:32:26.960 What is the point of the game? 07:32:26.960 --> 07:32:29.960 Most of the time they extend because of those traps line-up. 07:32:29.960 --> 07:32:31.960 So we're going to ban those traps line-up. 07:32:31.960 --> 07:32:34.960 So we need to be careful if they don't change how they play. 07:32:34.960 --> 07:32:40.960 You know, like more bunker, like more like closed strats, you know, and not extended. 07:32:50.960 --> 07:32:52.960 Again, focus on the prep phase. 07:32:52.960 --> 07:33:00.960 Okay, we focus on the prep phase, see what kind of setup they are, if they extend, we can go solo, if they bank or more, we can go transfer library, okay? 07:33:00.960 --> 07:33:08.960 Don't let a DMR spread to you, right? Like on the mud, on the Marvapel, K9 one day, like shut like that guys, like do not give me some exterior kills. 07:33:08.960 --> 07:33:12.960 They can work for everything they got and get, but let's also like press it. 07:33:12.960 --> 07:33:15.960 I think at the end of the day here, just like... 07:33:15.960 --> 07:33:20.960 Wasn't the Snake walking us down too? Also, I might change the band, I said it last like to... 07:33:20.960 --> 07:33:26.160 No, no, they will run, trust me, they will run the ying and the glass and fucking run our shit with it 07:33:26.160 --> 07:33:30.080 Take out the mati, um, glass box, and then third, they will be able to sneak out 07:33:30.080 --> 07:33:32.080 The mati was the biggest issue last time 07:33:36.080 --> 07:33:38.880 We got this guys, just breathe, alright, we got this, this is our game 07:33:39.920 --> 07:33:43.040 I might fuck around and throw it and lose to china for fun 07:33:45.040 --> 07:33:47.040 I mean, why would we want to fucking handle win right now, bruh? 07:33:47.040 --> 07:33:47.840 They take our help dude 07:33:47.840 --> 07:34:02.240 I mean if they want to go home I keep a full head of hair, so would I be totally upset? 07:34:02.240 --> 07:34:04.680 Not so much. 07:34:04.680 --> 07:34:08.240 Denarii LL likely going to be the vans for all gamers as they discussed in the time-out 07:34:08.240 --> 07:34:09.320 same thing with Monty Glash. 07:34:09.320 --> 07:34:15.960 I do agree with JJ that Monty was a massive issue for them last map. 07:34:15.960 --> 07:34:17.960 And Fenomir is also right. 07:34:17.960 --> 07:34:23.560 Denari and Ella, very often played by all gamers to allow for those extensions, those 07:34:23.560 --> 07:34:27.940 tripwires are super, super hard to deal with with Chalet because it's such like a window 07:34:27.940 --> 07:34:29.440 heavy map as well. 07:34:29.440 --> 07:34:31.560 So I like the dance. 07:34:31.560 --> 07:34:36.280 For them both, Teams Master is also going to be the first site for Five Fears 2. 07:34:36.280 --> 07:34:39.560 If you see Snake, I really thought, I thought he was going to win that. 07:34:39.560 --> 07:34:42.880 But I think that little opening is what killed him. 07:34:42.880 --> 07:34:45.240 Like that little opening on the client wall. 07:34:45.240 --> 07:34:53.060 We'll see 5 Fears defend top floor, bit of a different line-up than what we saw all 07:34:53.060 --> 07:35:00.840 the gamers bringing, obviously no Ella to be played, they also don't have Zami, they don't 07:35:00.840 --> 07:35:04.600 have Mai, they don't have Merec, sorry they do have Merec, they don't have Castle, they 07:35:04.600 --> 07:35:08.760 don't have Fenrir, they're leading more into stuff like the Warden just in case there's 07:35:08.760 --> 07:35:12.480 a Ying at play or some kind of smoke plant which it looks like all the gamers are going 07:35:12.480 --> 07:35:16.440 I'm also excited to see Rival. He's one in five right now, but he's getting let loose. 07:35:17.080 --> 07:35:20.240 He's off the leash on the Vigil Boss G. 07:35:22.000 --> 07:35:26.020 Maybe seeing some potential spawn peaks or just again one-shot 07:35:26.680 --> 07:35:30.760 ACOG shotgun here, dealing tons of damage if someone has caught off guard. 07:35:30.760 --> 07:35:37.620 Maybe even able to work up blue perhaps if in a library over clear. Not too sure how all gamers want to approach this, 07:35:37.620 --> 07:35:42.300 but very heavy emphasis on wanting to get this plant down. Looks to be a solar overtake. 07:35:42.480 --> 07:35:48.640 Getting Blackbird in the building off the back of these scents are U projectors to Capitao bolts and Ying candellers 07:35:48.880 --> 07:35:54.560 JJ is on the warden they talked about that during the intermission Harrison that being would be played almost entirely 07:35:55.080 --> 07:35:58.320 By all gamers that they choose not to ban it over the Montaigne 07:35:58.720 --> 07:36:05.800 This could be the moment for JJ to work some sort of pig with that nitrocell once he hears the candela's and utility flying from this 07:36:05.920 --> 07:36:11.680 Backwind bill of solar giving the right time for a call to be made as a rotation. Oh that does remind me 07:36:11.680 --> 07:36:17.100 Rival is in the basement. All gamers are worried about a potential runout. They've got claymores for it as well 07:36:17.100 --> 07:36:23.940 But they're also guarding it just in case rival decides to impact open this barricade and try to go for something cheeky on the master window player 07:36:25.240 --> 07:36:29.020 It thinks better of it at least for now all gamers spotting that 07:36:29.680 --> 07:36:36.180 There's not a ton of stuff dedicated to holding solar. It could be a pretty easy take here 07:36:36.180 --> 07:36:43.080 I think their main obstacle might be a mirror window if there's one placed facing that direction 07:36:43.080 --> 07:36:49.760 There's the runout from rival looking for someone on the double window, but rail gun was still wary of trench 07:36:49.760 --> 07:36:55.080 So runout does not find any pics. See JJ here's this guy on the rappel 07:36:55.960 --> 07:36:58.920 Wants to pick him off of it and surprise this ying 07:36:58.920 --> 07:37:03.600 First take though, Forest falls to Yaz on the DMR, 07:37:03.600 --> 07:37:09.100 put Yaz on the repel way outside on Slant. 07:37:09.100 --> 07:37:13.780 I don't even know about JJ Harrison. 07:37:13.780 --> 07:37:18.120 He can maybe jump over that bed, have the high ground against his Blackbeard shield while planting, 07:37:18.120 --> 07:37:20.120 and maybe kill him outright. He is low on HP. 07:37:20.120 --> 07:37:22.420 But again, you need help from your teammates. 07:37:22.420 --> 07:37:23.820 You need some sort of distraction. 07:37:23.820 --> 07:37:28.120 And right now, all gamers are still continuing to add more pressure on this execute, 07:37:28.120 --> 07:37:34.680 But a massive kill to find that's the cup player allowing for the rest of five years to rotate and assist JJ behind this bomb chassis 07:37:34.680 --> 07:37:41.200 The Nade not able to flush him out either, but one of his teammates has been down rival good for two kills though on the vigil 07:37:43.760 --> 07:37:46.560 Two versus two with friends on the ground 07:37:48.080 --> 07:37:52.240 Moonlight and Yaz looking for a way and Yaz still outside on 07:37:53.320 --> 07:37:54.640 highway 07:37:54.640 --> 07:37:58.640 Holding the cut, but Snake and JJ neither of them exposing themselves. 07:37:58.640 --> 07:38:02.640 JJ starting to rotate through, gives his life up to Moonlight. 07:38:02.640 --> 07:38:07.640 And that leaves Snake in yet another clutch, wasn't able to get it done the round prior. 07:38:07.640 --> 07:38:09.640 Can he do it here? 07:38:09.640 --> 07:38:11.640 Plank going down, Yaz covering. 07:38:12.640 --> 07:38:14.640 He spots the barrel, goes for the fight, wins! 07:38:14.640 --> 07:38:17.640 It turns around for the second, but Moonlight is better! 07:38:17.640 --> 07:38:21.640 And all gamers able to recover their first attack. 07:38:21.640 --> 07:38:28.200 And after a quiet performance by Moonlight in the first half, when it matters most, wins 07:38:28.200 --> 07:38:33.440 the first fight against JJ, cutting off his rotate and securing the last frag, trading 07:38:33.440 --> 07:38:39.920 his teammate after getting off the diffuse, narrowly out-dueling Snake and denying the 07:38:39.920 --> 07:38:41.720 clutch. 07:38:41.720 --> 07:38:47.840 A crucial round defined for all gamers after so many things went wrong for them on that 07:38:47.840 --> 07:38:54.240 execute even downing rival as well they're getting the triple kill impressive job by moonlight now 07:38:54.240 --> 07:39:00.560 going back from three and five to positive at the beginning of this second half you lose your 07:39:00.560 --> 07:39:05.680 ying early in the candela's themselves not creating a lot of space the capitao and blackbeard 07:39:05.680 --> 07:39:11.840 being annihilated by rivals smg-12 as he rotates off the roam everything looks dire as three 07:39:11.840 --> 07:39:16.680 Many nades were thrown at JJ after he killed the game and he also didn't die. 07:39:16.680 --> 07:39:22.360 Everything looked top notch for 5 beers, but again, the heroics of Moonlight were just 07:39:22.360 --> 07:39:28.440 enough to get them over that finish line and bring us one round to a potential tied game 07:39:28.440 --> 07:39:31.360 between 5 beers versus all gamers. 07:39:31.360 --> 07:39:37.000 Despite their loss, 7-8 on Lair, they are still alive and kicking to keep things close 07:39:37.000 --> 07:39:40.480 on Chalet. 07:39:40.480 --> 07:39:47.360 being brought again. I imagine with Warden still being up, all gamers are gonna be looking a lot 07:39:47.360 --> 07:39:51.760 towards that sense. Five Fears talked about maybe banning the Snake in the second half. All gamers 07:39:51.760 --> 07:39:59.360 haven't played him just yet. Maybe relying so much on this sense as this is an absurd runout. 07:39:59.360 --> 07:40:04.800 Okay, that's fine. Maybe playing the Sends and relying on it so much could bait Five Fears into 07:40:04.800 --> 07:40:14.800 abandoning them, and then the snake comes out in the second half. We'll have to see. 07:40:14.800 --> 07:40:21.080 So we have a Rome emphasis as well by five years. Interested in seeing forest, actually, 07:40:21.080 --> 07:40:24.160 you know, roaming, not just the extension of above, that's very common for dining, but 07:40:24.160 --> 07:40:28.880 also playing closer towards fireplace and mezz. But JJ, I think one of the only players 07:40:28.880 --> 07:40:33.800 close to sight ends up dying. The hands of Railgun there, a good entry to find for all 07:40:33.800 --> 07:40:38.520 all gamers, the lurk from downstairs by MC detects rival near blue hall and he expects 07:40:38.520 --> 07:40:42.840 another to assist from solo build stairs, but loses to fight the forest that's huge 07:40:42.840 --> 07:40:44.920 for five years. 07:40:44.920 --> 07:40:48.960 Rivals still alive, able to utilize that solo scanner in case a plant were to go down and 07:40:48.960 --> 07:40:54.760 these horizontal angles are so favorable for the DMR but forest is low and it'll have to 07:40:54.760 --> 07:40:58.000 pick these gunfights wisely if he starts to get pushed by all gamers. 07:40:58.000 --> 07:41:05.460 Yeah, all gamers starting to confirm and push forward their control of trophy, as well as West Main. 07:41:05.460 --> 07:41:12.040 The sense now inside kitchen going for this plant, the cover from his team is good, it's keeping the defense at bay. 07:41:12.040 --> 07:41:18.680 Maybe they didn't even know that the plant was going down. Yaz finishes it, and now all gamers can start to back off. 07:41:18.680 --> 07:41:22.360 Yaz with the pick on the snake, shuts down the Fenrir. 07:41:22.360 --> 07:41:29.360 From below, Rival looking for a runout. Can't find the player on the rappel because he had to take the time to shoot the claymore. 07:41:29.360 --> 07:41:38.360 Rappeling inwards though, his railgun fence finds him. Two versus three with a player with one attacker. Upstairs, on that double window rappel. 07:41:38.360 --> 07:41:46.360 He's since come down and now posted up on Trophy window. In order to support Yaz inside Trophy and Moonlight playing in West Main cleans up the round. 07:41:46.360 --> 07:41:49.360 All gamers have tied us up for a piece. 07:41:49.360 --> 07:41:52.600 What a gap spotted from all gamers as well, Harrison. 07:41:52.600 --> 07:41:55.480 Wasting zero time getting pressure in through Trophy. 07:41:55.480 --> 07:41:57.360 They win that first gunfight onto JJ. 07:41:57.360 --> 07:42:00.800 And after some drone work, they realize no one's on site. 07:42:00.800 --> 07:42:05.760 They have the perfect operator to cut off all these long lines of sight 07:42:05.760 --> 07:42:07.000 that Forrest was trying to use, 07:42:07.000 --> 07:42:09.640 or the players upstairs on the roam were trying to use 07:42:09.640 --> 07:42:13.200 to play for vert against this post-plant potential. 07:42:13.200 --> 07:42:14.360 They have sense. 07:42:14.360 --> 07:42:17.200 And without the info either from a lack of an audio call 07:42:17.200 --> 07:42:21.700 or just no other cameras in sight being blocked by the RRU projectors, 07:42:22.200 --> 07:42:25.660 all gamers get to plant down essentially for free in that four versus four. 07:42:25.900 --> 07:42:31.000 The rest of five fears disjointed on total opposite sides of the map. 07:42:31.000 --> 07:42:34.060 Again, Forrest was completely alone trying to come back into sight from fireplace. 07:42:34.060 --> 07:42:38.400 You had snakes or rivals still downstairs on the solos attempting to run out. 07:42:38.660 --> 07:42:43.740 Fenz is the only one doing any damage, but he was also very far away from sight 07:42:43.740 --> 07:42:47.700 trying to walk down solar stairs but there's a cutoff from the trophy window 07:42:47.700 --> 07:42:53.100 which is where all the chaos initially started from by all gamers. I think it 07:42:53.100 --> 07:42:56.820 has had better info and a quicker response time to when they realized the 07:42:56.820 --> 07:43:01.660 site was free and they had the perfect tools to keep five fears out of the 07:43:01.660 --> 07:43:07.020 objective and into a safe position for themselves to get a plant down. 07:43:07.340 --> 07:43:11.660 Five fears now for the first time rocking clash on Chalet for this far 07:43:11.660 --> 07:43:18.180 our game's defense force, we will likely see holding top blue with that clash shield. 07:43:18.180 --> 07:43:21.940 Still some traps around for J.J. on the forend though, I'm sure Five Fears are probably 07:43:21.940 --> 07:43:25.660 sorely missing the denarii that they play so often on this map. 07:43:25.660 --> 07:43:30.100 All gamers on the other side, sure they don't have the Monty available, but they do have 07:43:30.100 --> 07:43:34.620 a Blackbeard which they also ran pretty consistently here on Lair. 07:43:34.620 --> 07:43:39.700 They're working for a complete opposite side over push because there is no roam presence 07:43:39.700 --> 07:43:41.020 from Five Fears. 07:43:41.020 --> 07:43:46.620 The closest person is Snakebind behind this reinforcement on Office. 07:43:50.120 --> 07:43:51.820 Let me see if everyone hops up that ladder. 07:43:52.420 --> 07:43:53.820 Oh, here's some sort of queue. 07:43:54.320 --> 07:43:59.320 Maybe a rotate could happen as well from Office since Blackbeard's already pushed up deep past Piano. 07:44:00.220 --> 07:44:01.520 Spots the, uh, I believe it. 07:44:02.020 --> 07:44:04.620 You know, spots out the doke would be opening up this back barricade. 07:44:04.620 --> 07:44:09.820 He tries to go for an aggressive swing, but isn't met by anyone besides a drone and now just backs away and not- 07:44:09.820 --> 07:44:13.820 willing to risk his life for free from that balcony. 07:44:13.820 --> 07:44:16.820 A lot of map control gained early for all gamers. 07:44:16.820 --> 07:44:20.820 Again, a lot of emphasis on utility to clear out power positions. 07:44:20.820 --> 07:44:27.820 They've got gridlock tracks, air jabs, which could now be used as a tool to deter the clash, 07:44:27.820 --> 07:44:30.820 because they already have flank watch off of this gridlock. 07:44:30.820 --> 07:44:33.820 No pocket EMPs, but plenty of frag grenades as well to assist for the clash here, 07:44:33.820 --> 07:44:38.820 and to burn both the, well, my magnets and ADS in play here for five beers, 07:44:38.820 --> 07:44:43.220 It'll just be a game of cat and mouse until all this utility is finally cleared away. 07:44:43.220 --> 07:44:45.020 The ROU is being set up. 07:44:45.020 --> 07:44:48.620 They want to isolate Forest from Rival. 07:44:48.620 --> 07:44:52.020 Take away that connection and go for a kill on one of them. 07:44:52.020 --> 07:44:54.260 There's the ROU's being activated. 07:44:54.260 --> 07:44:55.900 In comes the push from all gamers. 07:44:55.900 --> 07:44:58.820 MC inside Ivy though almost dealt with. 07:44:58.820 --> 07:45:01.300 Railgun killed by Snake now. 07:45:01.300 --> 07:45:04.780 This push so far only good for a kill as Moonlight cleans up Rival. 07:45:04.780 --> 07:45:07.220 Fen still playing by Pot kills Moonlight. 07:45:07.220 --> 07:45:14.860 And we're even at three apiece after this initial scuffle on the top floor concludes the most important thing though 07:45:14.860 --> 07:45:18.960 Fens still has library and Forrest is still here on blue 07:45:18.960 --> 07:45:22.500 But he doesn't have the time to put down the shield MC looking to run up on him 07:45:22.500 --> 07:45:26.320 But Forrest able to walk back JJ dies on the bomb site 07:45:27.220 --> 07:45:34.140 Upstairs the fight being taken by DMR Fens wins the first engagement looks for the second dies to solo mid and now Forrest 07:45:34.140 --> 07:45:39.140 finds himself alone as all gamers trade game upstairs was so good. 07:45:40.340 --> 07:45:45.440 Can't quite land the shots on Yas solo mid down to a thorn trap and now it's just 07:45:45.440 --> 07:45:50.440 Yas armed with the shotgun and he can't land enough pellets five fears 07:45:50.640 --> 07:45:56.440 off of the back of forest retake their lead forest hitting the deck and it 07:45:56.440 --> 07:46:01.040 works out against the gridlock super shorty not enough pellets landed the 07:46:01.040 --> 07:46:09.500 Free fire it took a few attempts, but it's finally successful for him five fears take back the lead after a nail biting razor 07:46:09.500 --> 07:46:14.420 Bloom finishes off the already weakened nomad from the upstairs confrontation against Ben's 07:46:15.020 --> 07:46:18.580 Making it an official 1v1 and they instantly ban her 07:46:18.860 --> 07:46:24.900 They're like we are not letting this happen again guys and the sends being banned as well for for five fears 07:46:24.900 --> 07:46:29.540 Which I think is a perfect counter. Yes, we've seen ying played almost every single round 07:46:29.540 --> 07:46:36.240 But the real catalyst for getting space into site and securing these post plant positions that mind you all gamers 07:46:36.320 --> 07:46:43.360 Had a flawless plank inversion back on their map pick of lair and have been near flawless here on chalet already as well 07:46:43.400 --> 07:46:50.500 The big catalyst operator was those sends or are used to make enough space to get into site and have an abuser on the ground 07:46:50.500 --> 07:46:54.800 But the warden's been enough plenty to counteract the seeing so I think that was a 07:46:55.360 --> 07:46:58.840 wise decision made by five fears going in around ten 07:46:59.540 --> 07:47:06.500 I like that all gamers too have had five fears ban the sends now because they played it so often 07:47:06.500 --> 07:47:12.260 I thought maybe we were gonna see the snake start being played because we had five fears talked about how good all gamers were with 07:47:12.260 --> 07:47:17.060 That snake as well as the Monty but instead so limits swaps onto the nomads 07:47:17.820 --> 07:47:21.700 No solid snake just yet five years go to kitchen dining 07:47:21.700 --> 07:47:29.420 Again, this site was won thanks to all gamers having a really early trophy control and then 07:47:29.420 --> 07:47:34.260 converting that into a plant holding onto West Main and forcing five freeers to try 07:47:34.260 --> 07:47:37.580 and retake into the crossfire. 07:47:37.580 --> 07:47:41.660 See how five freeers end up holding onto the top floor this time. 07:47:41.660 --> 07:47:44.580 We've got three players up here. 07:47:44.580 --> 07:47:46.460 We're gonna see them forced in the basement. 07:47:46.460 --> 07:47:48.460 JJ, the only player on site. 07:47:48.460 --> 07:47:54.340 He did die early on that round, that round eight execute. 07:47:54.340 --> 07:47:56.180 He was the first pick. 07:47:56.180 --> 07:47:57.860 And he was the only anchor, which is what 07:47:57.860 --> 07:47:59.700 helped open things up for all games. 07:47:59.700 --> 07:48:02.500 Hopefully for five fears, their IGL is 07:48:02.500 --> 07:48:04.660 going to have a little bit more survivability this time, 07:48:04.660 --> 07:48:08.020 although they also have forest working in tandem with him. 07:48:08.020 --> 07:48:11.340 And they got five fears playing a lot closer to the chest. 07:48:11.340 --> 07:48:13.260 There is still an extension up above. 07:48:13.260 --> 07:48:14.780 The forest playing from less main 07:48:14.780 --> 07:48:16.900 could obviously threaten a potential run out 07:48:16.900 --> 07:48:23.000 through Trench or Leesha's play close to site to slow down anyone pushing in from Trophy 07:48:23.000 --> 07:48:27.500 which was the main push from all gamers last time they attacked this objective. 07:48:27.500 --> 07:48:29.420 Again, no sense in place. 07:48:29.420 --> 07:48:34.940 He's been banned, meaning that the only use for smokes here is by MC and the smoke grenades 07:48:34.940 --> 07:48:39.660 here from Railgun as well which can be countered from a warden picked out by Fens and the entry 07:48:39.660 --> 07:48:45.340 as well favoring Five Fears JJ getting rid of Railgun damaged out onto Snake but he still 07:48:45.340 --> 07:48:49.940 He still lives to fight another day, he still keep us in his back pocket to allow for a rotation, 07:48:49.940 --> 07:48:55.940 but JJ overstaying his welcome is now injured, tying us up into 4 vs 4 and all gamers putting 07:48:55.940 --> 07:48:59.740 every bit of utility onto hunting down Rival. 07:48:59.740 --> 07:49:05.700 Forrest dies on the trophy stairs as MC swings in Rival though trades it back onto Moonlight 07:49:05.700 --> 07:49:11.580 as the top floor is still firmly in the hands of five fears, the three last remaining players 07:49:11.580 --> 07:49:14.100 all upstairs. 07:49:14.100 --> 07:49:24.260 has been dropped by all gamers. I believe it's inside Trophy with JJ. Or is it, I can't 07:49:24.260 --> 07:49:31.340 tell. Is that upstairs? I think that's upstairs in Solar. I think maybe Moonlight dropped it. 07:49:31.340 --> 07:49:35.740 It is upstairs. Okay. So even worse for I thought maybe it was like, okay, it's downstairs 07:49:35.740 --> 07:49:38.940 in Trophy. If they can force the guys back from SolarVert, maybe they can recover it. 07:49:38.940 --> 07:49:43.180 Oh, Macy, actually, MC just walks up to the doorway and is able to grab it. JJ finally 07:49:43.180 --> 07:49:47.480 He does bleed out because MC looks for an angle into the bomb site. 07:49:47.480 --> 07:49:51.480 Yaz is going to go up to Solar and leave Solo mid on the cutoff highway. 07:49:53.080 --> 07:49:57.580 MC now in trophy. Yaz actually swings in and doesn't get punished for it. 07:49:57.580 --> 07:49:59.280 Maybe five fears. 07:49:59.280 --> 07:50:01.780 They get afraid of this player on the double window cut. 07:50:02.680 --> 07:50:05.280 MC dumps his utility in because the player upstairs 07:50:05.280 --> 07:50:08.280 who nearly sees him through the hatch, but now he's full blind. 07:50:08.280 --> 07:50:11.680 But luckily there's a warden in play for five fears. 07:50:11.680 --> 07:50:19.180 Sees the Capitao through the smoke, shuts down the plant attempt, and now there's basically no time for all gamers to do anything. 07:50:19.180 --> 07:50:24.180 And an active desperation solo mid swings in, but he and Yaz are swiftly dealt with. 07:50:24.680 --> 07:50:32.680 And the immediate target man on sends, paying dividends for the round by 5 fears. 07:50:32.680 --> 07:50:38.680 They didn't have as an effective of a response, it took more time and emphasis to clear out Trophy Room, 07:50:38.680 --> 07:50:43.080 to deal with the Blue Staircase, which is where Forrest was playing, rather than Rybel. 07:50:43.080 --> 07:50:48.120 JJ wins that first entry kill on, not to Moonlight, I believe, because they still had the grim canisters, 07:50:48.120 --> 07:50:54.840 but winning an entry kill, nonetheless. Forrest then rotates from West, heading in to that Blue Staircase 07:50:54.840 --> 07:51:00.520 by Solar, wasting a lot more resources by all gamers, and also burning their time. They had less 07:51:00.520 --> 07:51:06.600 moments to gather info, to have more resources besides the Capitao, to allow for that plant to go down, 07:51:06.600 --> 07:51:13.280 And it never felt like they were allowed to also apply pressure on the rest of that Rome extension upstairs rival 07:51:13.840 --> 07:51:19.500 Basically never contested the rest of his team makes upstairs never contested besides a rogue flash 07:51:19.500 --> 07:51:23.520 But they didn't have to ever push past the player on that master window cutoff 07:51:23.520 --> 07:51:28.400 So they were safe and sound and we're now on series point five fears are 07:51:28.920 --> 07:51:36.300 One round away from having a rematch against their NA rivals wild card or all gamers 07:51:36.600 --> 07:51:42.740 Potentially a few more rounds to at least score overtime and have a second chance on bank 07:51:43.080 --> 07:51:48.820 If they can win in that 15 round position, but it's not looking good. Oh, no 07:51:50.260 --> 07:51:56.280 Jinx he's lost your Thatcher up against this Kade. That is a 07:51:57.420 --> 07:52:03.740 Devastating loss. I mean at least you have your fuse. So maybe you can get into lobby and start to send cluster charges down 07:52:03.740 --> 07:52:09.500 Also on round 11 all gamers one round from elimination. They bring the osa 07:52:10.620 --> 07:52:13.740 Jesse J chick. I hope you're watching. This is your favorite operator 07:52:14.140 --> 07:52:19.460 We'll see if it works out for all gamers here, but they've lost their thatcher. Where do they go from here? 07:52:19.940 --> 07:52:25.260 There's a runout. I think upstairs is five fears are exuding their presence all across the map 07:52:25.260 --> 07:52:31.900 They have a full three tiered Rome that all gamers at least for right now are not contesting 07:52:31.900 --> 07:52:37.120 Just as I say that, oh, Snake almost takes a fight with Yaz. 07:52:37.120 --> 07:52:41.080 The dangerous thing here for all gamers is if they don't clear this out, Snake is going 07:52:41.080 --> 07:52:44.140 to be able to just play upstairs with the Solas. 07:52:44.140 --> 07:52:49.820 They also have no real response to the K-Claws besides Fuse, maybe, or a well-placed Frag grenade 07:52:49.820 --> 07:52:50.820 by NC. 07:52:50.820 --> 07:52:55.960 It's going to make getting into the bombsite very challenging to utilize those Osa talent 07:52:55.960 --> 07:53:00.980 shields as cutoff angles for the longer positions held from Connector all the way down by Big 07:53:00.980 --> 07:53:04.420 garage, or at least getting someone in the building safely. 07:53:04.420 --> 07:53:08.140 There comes Benz, a well-needed kill, now to 5 vs 3, and again, this owes the shield not 07:53:08.140 --> 07:53:10.620 doing anything to protect all gamers. 07:53:10.620 --> 07:53:14.580 Solo mid with 1, the flank though for Rybel, good for a kill onto the shield player, very 07:53:14.580 --> 07:53:18.140 quickly traded back, but Snake has a double up, and solo mid. 07:53:18.140 --> 07:53:23.340 The last player standing between all gamers in defeat, and it's JJ Blasphal, who says 07:53:23.340 --> 07:53:30.140 Nihao, and Zaijin to all gamers, shi-shi for the win, and they've got a date against Wildcard 07:53:30.140 --> 07:53:38.620 tomorrow. They started out rough here at Salt Lake City Harrison going 0-2 in the Swiss stage 07:53:38.620 --> 07:53:44.940 but in the lower bracket they have one more shot one more opportunity to make it to the main stage 07:53:44.940 --> 07:53:52.220 for the first time as a brand new team in North America going flawless in playoffs and one more 07:53:52.220 --> 07:53:58.220 match against Wildcard tomorrow that I cannot wait to see but before we've got the interview 07:53:58.220 --> 07:54:03.460 Ready for JJ. We'll hop in a quick break to set that up. So don't go anywhere. We'll be right back in a couple minutes 07:58:58.220 --> 07:59:00.700 reactions after this exhilarating win for you. 07:59:00.700 --> 07:59:02.380 We don't like any of them as on ourselves. 07:59:02.380 --> 07:59:03.740 They're like, we'll fuck themselves. 07:59:03.740 --> 07:59:05.580 We're here to play for ourselves. 07:59:05.580 --> 07:59:07.420 And that's a good team win, and a win's a win. 07:59:07.420 --> 07:59:09.420 We don't care about the narrative. 07:59:09.420 --> 07:59:11.020 I don't know how to put your thoughts on this one. 07:59:11.020 --> 07:59:12.780 You know, it's about time we get our turns. 07:59:12.780 --> 07:59:15.580 But we're just gonna talk about this before we leave. 07:59:15.580 --> 07:59:17.900 Obviously, people are gonna make you to be looked at on this. 07:59:17.900 --> 07:59:19.500 I think we all can see that coming fence. 07:59:19.500 --> 07:59:22.060 You were telling me you're gonna thrive in a situation like that. 07:59:22.060 --> 07:59:23.580 Yeah.

All gamers heads held high as they come out of this one defying 08:01:20.340 --> 08:01:22.340 expectations. 08:01:50.340 --> 08:01:54.340 First half match, again, three match of the NAF final. 08:01:54.340 --> 08:01:58.740 Yeah, Spiker and JJ two extremely brilliant in-game leaders 08:01:58.740 --> 08:02:02.420 that we have a lot of information about from our past experience, 08:02:02.420 --> 08:02:07.420 Caster 2, C3, NG2, NAF, I believe we have the concluded bracket 08:02:07.420 --> 08:02:11.100 for our end of day, but first the stats from today's match 08:02:11.100 --> 08:02:15.220 at White and Steak, again, really back and forth action 08:02:15.220 --> 08:02:17.860 between all games and five years on the player. 08:02:17.860 --> 08:02:20.020 He had an unfortunate three-pointer, 08:02:20.020 --> 08:02:23.620 and he did that game in real time, five years ago. 08:02:23.620 --> 08:02:26.660 He's the only bomb site that all gamers were successful 08:02:26.660 --> 08:02:29.100 on defending, bringing them to their map, 08:02:29.100 --> 08:02:31.220 and it would chip on their shoulder. 08:02:31.220 --> 08:02:33.420 It's once he ended Chalet as Valhalla, 08:02:33.420 --> 08:02:35.220 it's a really such a good job 08:02:35.220 --> 08:02:38.580 at stopping the initial pento of all gamers, 08:02:38.580 --> 08:02:40.620 changing the numbers and run fighting. 08:03:10.620 --> 08:03:17.620 I 08:03:17.620 --> 08:03:20.620 I 08:03:20.620 --> 08:03:23.620 I 08:03:23.620 --> 08:03:26.620 I 08:03:26.620 --> 08:03:30.620 I 08:03:30.620 --> 08:03:34.620 I 08:03:34.620 --> 08:03:38.620 I
