WEBVTT 10:00.000 --> 10:02.000 I 15:30.000 --> 15:32.000 I 16:00.000 --> 16:10.600 It is day six of the Salt Lake City Major, and today it is win or go home. 16:10.600 --> 16:16.560 Our first intraragional matchup, EU vs EU, Falcons vs. Virtus Pro. 16:16.560 --> 16:21.300 When they played an EML kickoff, VP took the win, but with these two new rosters getting 16:21.300 --> 16:27.580 more familiar with each other each day, anything can happen. 16:27.580 --> 16:33.800 In our APL matchup between Enterprise Gaming and Weibo Gaming, a win for either team gets 16:33.800 --> 16:39.560 them a spot in the history books as a team from APL to make the main stage at a major. 16:39.560 --> 16:46.280 That hasn't happened for three years. 16:46.280 --> 16:50.520 And finally, to close out Phase 2, it is NA vs NA. 16:50.520 --> 16:56.320 Wildcard and the Hot and Cold Revenge Tour take on JJ Blast and Five Fears. 16:56.320 --> 17:05.080 the first major for three players on that roster, and they could very well make the main stage. 17:05.080 --> 17:10.920 It's make or break, it's do or die, it is their last chance to make the main stage. 17:10.920 --> 17:18.360 Well, thank you very much Jonah, and I have to say there should be some banger games today. 17:18.360 --> 17:22.600 I mean it's the final day of Swiss 2-2, and I hope we will see some excellent showings 17:22.600 --> 17:24.600 team involved, but of course, 17:24.600 --> 17:25.600 despite that, even if everybody 17:25.600 --> 17:27.600 shows up and puts in their 17:27.600 --> 17:28.600 basket, we'll be setting three 17:28.600 --> 17:29.600 teams home and three teams will 17:29.600 --> 17:31.600 make the main stage. It just 17:31.600 --> 17:32.600 comes at a heavy price. It really 17:32.600 --> 17:34.600 does. This is ultimate crunch 17:34.600 --> 17:36.600 time now here for the Salt Lake 17:36.600 --> 17:38.600 City Major. We are going to decide 17:38.600 --> 17:40.600 what the final three teams that we 17:40.600 --> 17:41.600 are going to be sending through 17:41.600 --> 17:42.600 into the live stage is going to be 17:42.600 --> 17:43.600 to join the teams that have 17:43.600 --> 17:44.600 already qualified over the course 17:44.600 --> 17:45.600 of the week, some of which have 17:45.600 --> 17:46.600 been qualified for quite a while. 17:46.600 --> 17:47.600 Think about someone like 17:47.600 --> 17:49.600 Faze. That has not been a name on 17:49.600 --> 17:51.600 the tip of my tongue for a long, 17:51.600 --> 17:56.600 old time. This is going to be 17:56.600 --> 18:20.600 our Swiss bracket. And as you can see on the left hand side, teams that have been sent home, teams that are now no longer. On the right hand side, you can see the teams that have qualified both twisted minds and phase coming in on that highest possible seed on that three wins and zero lost side of the bracket. Move one stage over to the left and you can see the teams that came in on the three wins and one lost side. And of course there we've got everyone's favorite G2, dark zero and SR. So a fairly good team. 18:21.600 --> 18:24.760 Heavy NA contingent in that 3-1 bracket. 18:24.760 --> 18:28.760 Heavy NA contingent, heavy EU contingent generally. 18:28.760 --> 18:30.680 But you know one team that isn't present 18:30.680 --> 18:33.280 in that side of the bracket, what's over side from FaZe? 18:33.280 --> 18:36.160 Brazil, Brazil and SAO generally having 18:36.160 --> 18:38.160 a massive fall off this event. 18:38.160 --> 18:39.160 Of course, on the other side, 18:39.160 --> 18:43.360 Furia and NIP going down both in pretty dramatic fashion. 18:43.360 --> 18:47.320 NIP in particular yesterday going down 7-2, 7-2. 18:47.320 --> 18:49.800 And they lost against our very first team 18:49.800 --> 18:52.240 in our first matchup of today. 18:52.240 --> 18:54.280 We've got Falcons versus Virtus.Pro coming up 18:54.280 --> 18:55.520 as the first best of three. 18:55.520 --> 18:56.680 And then, as Jonah mentioned, 18:56.680 --> 18:59.520 Enterprise versus Wave-O gaming right after that. 18:59.520 --> 19:02.240 And to round off the inter-regional derby 19:02.240 --> 19:03.520 we've got on the final day, 19:03.520 --> 19:05.940 it is five years versus Wildcard. 19:05.940 --> 19:08.120 And sure, domestic matchups, 19:08.120 --> 19:10.000 I think some Olly sometimes people can be a bit sad 19:10.000 --> 19:11.120 by, be a bit bothered by. 19:11.120 --> 19:13.040 But I have to say, each one of these games 19:13.040 --> 19:14.640 has a lot going for it. 19:14.640 --> 19:17.380 It doesn't really matter as much as it usually does 19:17.380 --> 19:21.580 because we've not got a heavy stack of Brazil already waiting in the finals. 19:21.580 --> 19:23.780 We've already got two teams from Europe qualified. 19:23.780 --> 19:26.480 We've already got two teams from NA qualified. 19:26.480 --> 19:28.680 And with these matchups, you don't need to be a genius to figure out 19:28.680 --> 19:33.180 that there's going to be three guaranteed from each region inside of the finals. 19:33.180 --> 19:35.780 Of course, for APL, it's going to be a little bit different. 19:35.780 --> 19:39.280 And there's a hell of a lot riding on that Enterprise versus Waybu game. 19:39.280 --> 19:41.480 But we'll get to that in due course. 19:41.480 --> 19:43.780 We'll get to that in due course because the first thing we have up, 19:43.780 --> 19:46.680 as we mentioned, is Falcons versus Virtus Pro. 19:46.680 --> 19:57.480 Two teams that, I mean, Juggernauts, well respected inside of Europe, but Virtus.pro in particular in a rematch of the email yesterday going down in a three-map series of G2 and now will face Falcons. 19:57.480 --> 20:05.360 Who are they able to deal with pretty handedly in the bracket the last time these two teams faced Virtus.pro taking the series two to zero and Falcons Ali struggling a bit in the Swiss stage? 20:05.360 --> 20:14.640 Yeah, Falcons not having the stage or not having the tournament that they will have been hoping for at the moment and Virtus.pro are going to be the team that are stood in their way at the minute. 20:14.640 --> 20:19.760 These guys have really impressed me. I think that they came out of Europe second. There was quite a lot of high expectation on them 20:19.760 --> 20:20.960 We're still seeing it develop 20:20.960 --> 20:26.360 We're still seeing them go through the motions a little bit and I think that that's something that's going to continue as we move through it today 20:26.360 --> 20:31.560 And of course into tomorrow should they qual I mean and hopefully we continue to see that development because one thing 20:31.560 --> 20:36.240 We've also noticed over the course of these games from bird's pro is that they always seem to start out very well 20:36.240 --> 20:40.240 They always seem to start off with a two-round streak a four-round streak go to the way bow game 20:40.240 --> 20:45.840 One of their more dominant victories throughout this tournament, 7-4, starting off with a 5-1-1-2. 20:45.840 --> 20:50.840 And then they seem to cool off a bit. Only two rounds of the 5-2-2-1-2 against Weibo, of course, 20:50.840 --> 20:53.240 for G2 yesterday, losing the next two maps. 20:53.240 --> 20:57.440 Virtus.pro always seemed to start off hot, but then their other team seems to get a little bit comfortable. 20:57.440 --> 21:02.240 And for the Vitos, where these two teams start, could prove to be very important because right at the beginning, 21:02.240 --> 21:07.840 Falcons pick, well, it's comfortable territory, shallow leg coming out right out of the gate. 21:07.840 --> 21:11.520 The gate of course, Virtus Pro, following up with Fortress right after that, Ollie and 21:11.520 --> 21:14.280 I's 86th Fortress game for this whole tournament. 21:14.280 --> 21:17.880 Starting off with Chalet, Ollie, this one, I mean for Falcons, you think about a lot 21:17.880 --> 21:20.120 of these players, Chalet feels like they're right at home. 21:20.120 --> 21:22.760 Well, it does in some ways and it does in others. 21:22.760 --> 21:26.320 This to me almost feels like we're starting where we sort of finish, or finishing where 21:26.320 --> 21:30.760 we started because Falcons first game inside of Swiss, it was against Wildcard and they 21:30.760 --> 21:34.160 lost 7-1 on this knowing map. 21:34.160 --> 21:47.160 So, it's maybe a little bit of a revenge sort here for Falcons, of course, it's a map they've played a little bit more than just that once against Wildcard, and it's certainly a map that VP have played recently as well, they played it yesterday against G2 and struggled. 21:47.160 --> 21:59.160 So, in terms of map preference, it looks okay for Falcons, on Shallay, Fortress is where I really start to worry, because that has not been a great map for really either of these teams, VP have been a little bit better on Fortress, 21:59.160 --> 22:05.520 And then Lair as a decider, I mean, that is the decider, or that was the deciding game inside of EML kickoff 22:05.520 --> 22:10.380 to decide which seed these two teams would have been going in and spoiler alert, it was VP that won it. 22:10.380 --> 22:15.060 Yeah, it was VP that won and VP winning quite a lot this past EML stage, so not a shocking sentence to say, 22:15.060 --> 22:19.620 but she'll lay out the gate. It is kind of interesting that just based up how these two tournaments have won both these teams, 22:19.620 --> 22:22.340 their most recent plays being losses on this map. 22:22.600 --> 22:26.880 Falcons obviously, we don't need to talk as much about that wildcard game only because with only eight rounds, 22:26.880 --> 22:29.900 There's only so much material you can mine now three, four days later. 22:29.900 --> 22:33.240 But for Virtus Pro as well, coming against G2, it was a game in which they seemed to 22:33.240 --> 22:38.000 have a decent performance at the start, but then G2 very quickly running away with it, 22:38.000 --> 22:40.400 wanting to believe four rounds in a row over the course of that map. 22:40.400 --> 22:43.540 Yeah, I think that comes down to something that we've identified really on this Virtus 22:43.540 --> 22:44.540 Pro roster. 22:44.540 --> 22:46.660 And there's maybe a bit of a lack of depth. 22:46.660 --> 22:51.520 We see a heck of a lot of want and need to play a lot of those shield operators. 22:51.520 --> 22:55.520 I'm sure it's going to be a big focus here in the band phase from Falkens. 22:55.520 --> 23:00.160 Well that's been something that we've identified really from VP. Something we've identified is something that VP 23:00.160 --> 23:07.960 Hopefully will rectify going into Chalet and the rest of this series because predictability is not the main ingredient for success 23:08.120 --> 23:15.320 At any international tournament and in particular not in Salt Lake City first map between Falcons and Virtus Pro will be 23:15.320 --> 23:19.520 The former's pick of Chalet and to your point about the operator band phase 23:19.520 --> 23:25.320 I think you and I even if it ends up being shield bands a lot more interested in what will go on than we normally are for these band 23:25.320 --> 23:33.320 Yeah, absolutely. Falcon's starting off on the attack, so it's going to be a little bit of time until we see what they want to dish out to VP on the sides, of course, Switch. 23:33.320 --> 23:46.320 There's been quite a punch on for a lot of those information-based operators, and Grim has seen very high BAM rate, no surprise, getting rid of the Azami as well, just removing some of that architectability. 23:46.320 --> 23:49.740 And we know there is so much of here on Shallay. 23:49.740 --> 23:56.080 I think Falcons for me, they've had one of those uncharacteristic tournaments for them 23:56.080 --> 23:59.960 so far because we're so used to seeing this team go all the way and yeah, sure, they've 23:59.960 --> 24:05.520 not, they don't win, but they make it to the main stage and it doesn't really cause them 24:05.520 --> 24:06.520 too many problems. 24:06.520 --> 24:08.760 They don't always have the most difficult rights of things. 24:08.760 --> 24:13.320 Obviously New Look with the roster, Jyko gone over to G2, Jume in as the replacement. 24:13.320 --> 24:18.620 Now that isn't the sole reason. It's not that Jume isn't performing. Jume's doing fantastic. I think he's settled in brilliantly. 24:18.620 --> 24:19.120 Yeah. 24:19.120 --> 24:21.120 But we're still yet to see that finished product. 24:21.120 --> 24:27.320 And I also think, you know, when you think about Jume settling into Falcons, not only on a lot of maps with this map in particular, 24:27.320 --> 24:32.120 you know, when you think of on the former roster, let's just, let's play a game real quick. 24:32.120 --> 24:35.120 Take a wild guess. Like, who was the main Danos player? 24:35.120 --> 24:37.120 Well, it's big shoes to fill, isn't it? 24:37.120 --> 24:42.620 Yeah, exactly. It was Shiko mainly playing this operator, not only on a lot of maps, but this map in particular for Falcons. 24:42.620 --> 24:46.520 and not really seeing Jume settle into that same role. 24:46.520 --> 24:48.520 LickyFack has kind of picked up the demos, 24:48.520 --> 24:50.520 it's gone to some other hands as well, 24:50.520 --> 24:54.520 but they've not tried to literally slot Jume into where Shaco was before 24:54.520 --> 24:57.520 because that's basically an impossible task. 24:57.520 --> 24:59.520 How could you possibly try to recreate that? 24:59.520 --> 25:01.520 So they've tried to pivot to something else, 25:01.520 --> 25:03.520 and one thing we've seen, not uncommon for Falcons either, 25:03.520 --> 25:05.520 been more of a move to Breeday on the smart team. 25:05.520 --> 25:07.520 I wouldn't say Breeday is the only player really for me 25:07.520 --> 25:09.520 that hasn't had to change too much with Shaco leaving 25:09.520 --> 25:11.520 and Jume taking on Mel's reigns 25:11.520 --> 25:16.120 Because Breda's job is just Breda's job. There's no one really that can do it better. 25:16.120 --> 25:20.120 There's no one else that's going to try and replace you. You're not going to ask them to do anything different. 25:20.120 --> 25:23.120 So it's no surprise to see Breda sticking some old favourites there. 25:23.120 --> 25:27.920 But even, you know, Solotov on the snake. Yes, we've seen Solotov in more of that flex role and flex position. 25:27.920 --> 25:34.120 But the snake? That's such a powerful operator. That is where you are looking to try and gain that early information and that early entry. 25:34.120 --> 25:39.120 Speaking of entries, it's going to be June. Takes, down, down, really catching him off guard there. 25:39.120 --> 25:44.960 The LionScan is just going to root any of these VP players in place from making a successful trade onto that. 25:44.960 --> 25:47.740 Good information now being gathered as well as Pasha. 25:47.740 --> 25:50.000 He's just going to be playing it down on those library stairs. 25:50.000 --> 25:56.480 He's got a little bit of a link play going on with Rorik, but Rorik's tucked over in towards Stock and this is where you see the true power of Snake. 25:56.480 --> 25:59.400 This is where you see the true power of all the information that Falcons are bringing. 25:59.400 --> 26:03.480 E1D, Dokeby, Caul and SolotonScan are all hitting at the exact same time, 26:03.480 --> 26:08.200 but that one doesn't actually involve any or at least result in any kills for Falcons. 26:08.200 --> 26:12.360 Instead, it was still that early lurk play by Jume and now a second one. 26:12.360 --> 26:15.320 Waiting inside a library for almost half the round at this point, he's crept down library 26:15.320 --> 26:18.040 stairs in his work, so understandably focused on Salatop. 26:18.040 --> 26:20.320 Forgot about the doke of his presence upstairs. 26:20.320 --> 26:21.960 Jume, quick play in with the doke. 26:21.960 --> 26:25.600 An operator that we normally saw Yuzus, I think mainly play on the previous iteration 26:25.600 --> 26:27.880 of the Falcons roster and obviously changing hands. 26:27.880 --> 26:31.160 And Yuzus maybe suffering for it a bit, having a bit of a rough tournament comparison to 26:31.160 --> 26:32.680 where he has been in the past. 26:32.680 --> 26:37.220 Typically Mr. Consistent, there's still time for that consistency to show over the longer 26:37.220 --> 26:42.180 course of the tournament. Maybe a little bit bigger of a sample size for users at the moment. 26:42.180 --> 26:46.340 Long old C4 there. It is going to do a bit of damage over onto Breede, but you can pretty 26:46.340 --> 26:48.740 happily see it. He's actually going to vault himself in. 26:48.740 --> 26:52.420 He's just going to hop in with the infuser in hand, but Pasha is so worried about the 26:52.420 --> 26:57.460 office balcony doorway. Ends up dying doing ADS from Breede. Huge double by Naquo, but 26:58.020 --> 27:01.060 Hawkins have already swung right into the site. Skye is going for the flank, put the 27:01.060 --> 27:05.540 one HP in the process. Must win fight against users around the corner. Mr. Consistence just 27:05.540 --> 27:11.180 Gotta win one, but Skye sees the angle first. He's just watching the other angle and a classic Monty 1v1 27:11.660 --> 27:17.260 Just go full shield try to pull them back as much as you can both impacts expended by Skye's but Breeday 27:17.300 --> 27:22.220 Very worried about hitting that full shield how he might be exposed even commits to a brief ADS 27:22.540 --> 27:24.740 Only now as he's walked out of the doorway 27:25.500 --> 27:32.480 Moved into the traditional position course with the changes you can just walk back safe and sound like you could before a lot more 27:32.480 --> 27:37.920 movement required. A lot more skill needed of Breide, but still eight seconds remaining. 27:37.920 --> 27:43.200 That is all he needs to last. Trying his best. Moving back and forth. 27:43.200 --> 27:48.880 Skye's only one second to go. And even if he got it, not enough time to counter diffuse. 27:48.880 --> 27:52.640 Breide keeps him at bay and locks in the first for Falcons. 27:52.640 --> 27:55.920 Breide just getting reps in for the final seven and a half seconds of that round. 27:55.920 --> 28:05.120 Just practicing his craft keeping players at bay standing firm on Monty a close round coming down to a one versus one 28:05.120 --> 28:10.400 I think that VP did a really good job of recovery in that round the plants it had to happen 28:10.400 --> 28:15.060 Didn't it there was no other way that they were going to be able to go around that you can force the kill and try and make 28:15.060 --> 28:18.320 Something work like that when you've got the Monty particularly users with that f2 28:18.320 --> 28:23.920 But it just wasn't the right place get that plant down and guaranteed around get that win condition locked on in 28:23.920 --> 28:28.440 I tell you what, there's no one I'd rather have on a Monty than Brede in that sort of position. 28:28.440 --> 28:32.960 No, I mean and even if like let's say even you don't want Brede, what? 28:32.960 --> 28:36.760 Like is Vita King really that much better? Is Canadian that much better? 28:36.760 --> 28:40.960 Like we're all talking, we're all talking a clear top three top four in the world that Brede has 28:41.480 --> 28:47.520 for years now, cemented himself as part of that upper echelon of Monty players inside of Rainbow Six. 28:47.520 --> 28:50.440 First round goes the way a Falcons might come out of 1v1 Ollie, 28:50.440 --> 28:56.160 But overall all things considered a fairly dominant round it required a double kill as the XC was going down for Naquo 28:56.160 --> 29:02.080 Just to put it to a 3d5 of course sky's hitting that flank later on and still needing to almost clutch a 1d3 to close things out 29:02.080 --> 29:07.040 So might be 1dx at the end but Falcon starting off decently well in their first round getting most of the control 29:07.040 --> 29:09.960 They wanted and getting an execute down without a whole lot of resistance from VP 29:09.960 --> 29:14.160 Oh, I really like the way that they went about getting the opening kills. There was so much focus on that 29:14.160 --> 29:17.480 I mean think about what's been banned. We've had the Grim over the Deimos band 29:17.480 --> 29:22.220 The Daemons is a big part of that opening play and a lot of big part of that information. 29:22.220 --> 29:25.700 In round one, we have a Lion, a Dogapie and a Snake. 29:25.700 --> 29:26.700 It's just disgusting. 29:26.700 --> 29:30.200 There's so much that you've got to do and every single time you've got to kill, bang, 29:30.200 --> 29:31.360 pop in the Lion scan. 29:31.360 --> 29:35.920 Just keeping those defenders restricted, keeping them in their little boxes. 29:35.920 --> 29:37.800 This time, no Lion, slightly different Lion. 29:37.800 --> 29:40.880 We've got the Nomad coming into play here and ooh, Nakeyoo. 29:40.880 --> 29:42.920 I think he has potentially been Mistro in there. 29:42.920 --> 29:46.760 I'm not sure if Leaky Fat was able to catch him out on that Soloton scanner, but he is 29:46.760 --> 29:49.080 He's entirely ignored him at the moment. 29:49.080 --> 29:54.120 He's completely focused on moving down Kitchen and Dining, and even if he is ignoring it, 29:54.120 --> 29:58.000 well never mind, I was gonna say, I was gonna say, oh no, Falcons don't have any flink watch 29:58.000 --> 29:59.960 set up aside from users on drone outside of Trophy. 29:59.960 --> 30:03.600 Oh well they've spotted, they've spotted Nekwam, now he's sitting outside in the bedroom, who 30:03.600 --> 30:06.120 might have to take a very quick fight with Licky Fack on Solar. 30:06.120 --> 30:08.000 It's possible to go down first though. 30:08.000 --> 30:14.440 Very strong defensive player for VP, he's by far away his strongest side, as the Orcs 30:14.440 --> 30:19.560 will make his way back. That just means that the soloist was lost. 30:19.560 --> 30:22.440 This guy is losing a lot of HP in that moment. 30:22.440 --> 30:26.840 He might retain the 4v5. Still a disadvantage, but retain something nonetheless. 30:26.840 --> 30:30.200 Doesn't take many of those DMR bullets to hit to put you down to 1 HP. 30:30.200 --> 30:34.440 This guy is not useless for the rest of the round. There's no nades left that he could be 30:34.440 --> 30:38.360 taking a bit of splash damage from. Still needs to be pretty cautious. 30:38.360 --> 30:42.120 In fact, let me see a bit of a response here. Two kills coming in for Virtus Pro. 30:42.120 --> 30:48.280 Both Wikifac and Jume fall into Dan and Rorik, that's going to destroy that information game. 30:48.280 --> 30:55.120 The logic bomb phone calls, the soliton scanner, pretty much everything that Falcons have been using to get this early control, gone by the wayside. 30:55.120 --> 31:01.880 And Dan, normally the player on Virtus.pro to play the Aruni from this position, a common position generally at a common player for VP to play it. 31:01.880 --> 31:08.280 But how much can you really counter Shrad? Dan with an M14 in hand, one of the best players in Europe for a long time, with one of the best guns in the game. 31:08.280 --> 31:10.080 not really much you can do. 31:10.080 --> 31:11.400 If Decent Chancey's gonna win that fight, 31:11.400 --> 31:13.080 even if you prepare the best you can. 31:13.080 --> 31:15.480 Dokeby, Snake goes down, will make this comeback 31:15.480 --> 31:18.360 a much more difficult and even compounded the solid top. 31:18.360 --> 31:22.240 Sound just the 1v4 as the Monty falls to the Oryx, 31:22.240 --> 31:25.600 a engagement that seemed destined to happen. 31:25.600 --> 31:28.440 We saw Oryx ratting earlier on in this round. 31:28.440 --> 31:30.600 And Yuzus, I feel like has always found himself 31:30.600 --> 31:33.000 typically in these 1vx positions. 31:33.000 --> 31:34.560 Well, doesn't have a lot of the right tools 31:34.560 --> 31:35.400 you might need for the job. 31:35.400 --> 31:36.680 No Dokeby calls like before, 31:36.680 --> 31:41.400 just one air jab, a couple flashes, and two little information. 31:41.400 --> 31:44.720 Naquah with a double kill to round off, round two for Virtus.Pro, 31:44.720 --> 31:46.720 and it's a tie game this early. 31:46.720 --> 31:49.120 With C. Falcon's not full commit and take Naquah down 31:49.120 --> 31:50.960 when he knew his position inside a master, 31:50.960 --> 31:53.880 and kind of ironic that Naquah's the player that gets the last kill in that round, 31:53.880 --> 31:54.960 it could have been anybody. 31:54.960 --> 31:58.760 There was four players alive for VP, so it doesn't really matter who gets it. 31:58.760 --> 32:02.720 It isn't the fact that Naquah wasn't dug out the reason that they lost the round. 32:02.720 --> 32:04.680 However, it seemed a little bit strange, 32:04.680 --> 32:07.480 because that has been so much of the focus so far for Falcons, 32:07.480 --> 32:09.780 has been gathering that information, getting the opening pick, 32:09.780 --> 32:12.200 and making sure you don't lose a body in the process. 32:12.200 --> 32:13.800 The difference between round one and round two, 32:13.800 --> 32:16.640 kind of night and day, they lost a lot in that round. 32:16.640 --> 32:18.920 Dan and Rory hitting two brilliant shots, 32:18.920 --> 32:22.160 and just entirely deleting the gym and leaky fact. 32:22.160 --> 32:23.880 Looks like we're gonna go in for a fairly similar lineup 32:23.880 --> 32:26.360 again here as we enter into that mid-floor. 32:27.720 --> 32:29.680 Which makes sense, I think when you look at, 32:29.680 --> 32:31.160 I think VP's lineups on defense, 32:31.160 --> 32:33.440 and I think most people's lineups on defense, 32:33.440 --> 32:39.440 They tend to be fairly consistent if you have both the Architect Operators Band, which in this case, obviously, is on me and Castle, the two bands, 32:39.440 --> 32:45.440 utilized by Falcons. What are you left with after that? Well, given the meta we're currently in, you're going to make some traps. 32:45.440 --> 32:50.440 You're going to bring usually at least two. Maybe it's a Thorna and Lucy, maybe a Thorna and Ella. In this case, it's an Ella and a Lucy. 32:50.440 --> 32:56.440 You're going to bring some combination of that. Warden as well for Pasha, one of the highest picked operators in Salt Lake City so far, 32:56.440 --> 33:02.440 as I think he generally has been for quite a long time. Smoke as well. I believe the highest picked defender inside of Salt Lake City so far. 33:02.440 --> 33:06.520 so far. Virtus.Pro aren't trying to really move beyond the meta too far with this lineup. 33:06.520 --> 33:11.480 Let's take a look at this mode. You just look down at a quick glance at Nakey's KD at the 33:11.480 --> 33:17.920 moment. 4-1. Big, big results there for Nakey. Hasn't been the player to get the most amount 33:17.920 --> 33:21.880 of kills. Often pretty headlocked into shield play when he's on the attack, so that's seen 33:21.880 --> 33:26.580 him stretching the legs a little bit here on this defense side. See me push it from 33:26.580 --> 33:31.680 library. You can see Monty is going to be just underneath there getting in toward games. 33:31.680 --> 33:34.180 Jim, opening up a couple of those lines of sight. 33:34.180 --> 33:36.980 And Breda just making sure there's no horrible traps kicking around. 33:36.980 --> 33:39.580 Solotov as well on this Solotov scanner. 33:39.580 --> 33:40.680 He's going to get some good information. 33:40.680 --> 33:44.380 He's going to know that there's a player at the bottom of those library stairs. 33:45.280 --> 33:48.780 Pasha for a brief time was finding himself in the crosshair, 33:48.780 --> 33:51.780 but it's actually Rory to retake this position. 33:51.780 --> 33:53.380 Now he will give the game away. 33:53.380 --> 33:54.980 Breda spots him there playing his day. 33:54.980 --> 33:58.780 with that hatch now open he's got a choice he's to try and scurry away but 33:58.780 --> 34:03.300 there are already angles being held from support here Pasha just kind of bait out 34:03.300 --> 34:07.460 his teammate a little bit right now yeah we saw this setup dismantled by 34:07.460 --> 34:11.300 Falcons last time but Rorick and Pasha trying to keep hold of it work playing 34:11.300 --> 34:19.180 much closer to the blue stairs and short by the dining site still of course these 34:19.180 --> 34:23.420 e1d's with the Salaton scan are so much information that can read out these 34:23.420 --> 34:28.880 Virts pro position, Jume, beautiful angle, finding Dan a second time on this clear again, different site earlier on. 34:29.820 --> 34:31.380 Finding him again 34:31.380 --> 34:36.500 just moving inside a library from the first half of the rounds. They, Falcons play it so slow on this side of the map. 34:36.900 --> 34:41.460 Pasha again not ready. It's another double for Jume to start out a library clear. 34:41.540 --> 34:44.780 If it ends the way it did last time, it might be a 1v1 at the end, 34:44.940 --> 34:50.460 but it could still be a Falcons round. Warwick now creeping up. Information on Jume who's sitting waiting 34:50.460 --> 34:57.320 for somebody in the wrong position looking down in the bar Roark popping up and then hopping out on the cans 34:57.920 --> 35:03.300 You just now can start to be a little bit more active in the round a lot of times spent on the drone a lot of time 35:03.840 --> 35:05.840 destroying some of this utility 35:06.460 --> 35:08.460 Make you tucked into bathroom 35:09.300 --> 35:12.020 Skies will hit that rotate now as well 35:12.300 --> 35:16.820 But three days just bearing him down and the defenders no real option now 35:16.820 --> 35:21.280 But to try and drop back, but they better believe this plane is on the side nice kill there from skies 35:21.280 --> 35:22.780 That's gonna do something to drag it back 35:22.780 --> 35:28.940 But Falcons have got the man count here and breed a already even 30 seconds left on the clock trying to get that plant down 35:28.940 --> 35:32.140 I'm not too sure that make you's gonna get past even the first here 35:32.140 --> 35:35.480 That's now confirmed drops the hatch straight into users his lap 35:36.260 --> 35:41.820 Now Falcons just keeping a consistent with I think the foundation they had set on that attacking side again 35:41.820 --> 35:47.740 It's a different site, but again, they try to take early control of library and just have Jim on that long angle 35:47.740 --> 35:52.640 Basically recreating what Dan was doing on the defense of that position m14 inside a library 35:52.800 --> 35:58.800 Trying to take down anybody who gets aggressive around piano or around the master of an office on the flip side 35:58.800 --> 36:01.540 Of course this kind of makes it difficult for the defense to play 36:01.540 --> 36:05.420 They can only really hang out around blue stairs can only hang out around fireplace stairs 36:05.600 --> 36:10.740 Can only hang around on fireplace stairs because a gigantic double door looking at that exact position and around blue stairs 36:10.740 --> 36:16.040 Well, they've also, Falcons have moved into bar and games down below. Again, playing very passive, 36:16.040 --> 36:19.600 they know at some point Virtus.pro are they going to move or are going to slip up, 36:19.600 --> 36:22.900 and that's been a reliable bet through the two rounds that Falcons have won so far. 36:22.900 --> 36:27.860 VP now taking a tactical timeout, understanding that getting as many rounds in the defense on a map 36:27.860 --> 36:33.540 that typically lends to the attack or trends toward the attacking side is of critical importance. 36:33.540 --> 36:39.520 Opaq of the time out for me has to be look just recognize what they're doing here 36:39.520 --> 36:43.980 the playing the lion the playing the Monty the playing the dokeby the playing 36:43.980 --> 36:48.820 the snake they are just hunting you out on the roam it's a big decision as to 36:48.820 --> 36:52.860 what you ban here at the start of round four because the Monty is secured some 36:52.860 --> 36:56.340 of these rounds think back to round number one definitely secured because of 36:56.340 --> 37:01.300 the Monty yes the early portion of the round was locked in by the lion and the 37:01.300 --> 37:05.460 and all that sort of stuff. You can only bomb one thing now, you can't get rid of everything. 37:05.460 --> 37:10.480 So get rid of the Monty, restrict that from Breede, and then start to recognize, okay, 37:10.480 --> 37:14.420 if we're going to play out there on the roam, we need to play even more together. There 37:14.420 --> 37:17.740 was an attempt, Pasha and Rorik were trying to watch each other back there, but there 37:17.740 --> 37:21.940 was just too big of a gap, especially with the utility that these attackers have. 37:21.940 --> 37:25.380 And you also compare that to the one round that Virtus.Pro have won on Bar and Games. 37:25.380 --> 37:30.380 We saw, of course, Na'Ko holding inside a bedroom, but then he tries to fall back. 37:30.380 --> 37:33.260 While one player goes down in the process, that's Pasha, it seems to be in a different 37:33.260 --> 37:35.300 position and the Orcs ends up making it back. 37:35.300 --> 37:39.900 So it's a small difference of 4v5 instead of a 3v5, but one, that's 20% of your player 37:39.900 --> 37:46.060 base and four players sat and tucked around mezzanine bar and games is a lot more workable 37:46.060 --> 37:49.300 than three players who have to maybe defend master bedroom and office while defending 37:49.300 --> 37:51.180 kitchen dining is the actual site. 37:51.180 --> 37:55.700 It's a much more workable position and so even if a player goes down in the room, the 37:55.700 --> 38:01.960 But one time, Verdi's Pro still got a generally coherent presence around the site. 38:01.960 --> 38:04.420 They were able to recover that round and close it out. 38:04.420 --> 38:08.400 So I think to your point as well, Ollie, that Rome game really important, even if somebody 38:08.400 --> 38:12.140 makes it back, that gives Verdi's Pro a much more winnable position. 38:12.140 --> 38:13.440 Go back to Master of Heaven office this time. 38:13.440 --> 38:17.660 He started off his defensive half at the very beginning, and as the montage has been banned, 38:17.660 --> 38:22.140 Verdi's decided shields are still his favorite operator, at least for this Shelley attack. 38:22.140 --> 38:26.420 Yeah, I would always get C3D on the Blitz, but it's something that's been working, hasn't it? 38:26.420 --> 38:32.040 It's been a winning formula so far. So it does make sense. Great information being found out nice and early here. 38:32.040 --> 38:36.940 You can keep your Soliton scanner, you can keep your Logic Bomb phone calls, just give B3D a drone and a yellow ping, 38:36.940 --> 38:41.140 and he's gonna find out where N.A.Q. is playing there on the top of those main stairs. 38:41.140 --> 38:46.840 Another lion scan used in conjunction with the Soliton scanner. We're seeing this be so powerful right now. 38:46.840 --> 38:54.040 And of course, the Blitz, arguably a more deadly prospect, you can move a lot quicker on toward those players as soon as you know where they are. 38:54.040 --> 38:58.000 And Solotov, he's got the confidence right now, but I don't think he's got the right intel. 38:58.000 --> 39:03.000 No. Confidence check. Information. Big fat X, unfortunately, for Solotov. 39:03.000 --> 39:12.200 Maybe thinking that the mezzanine player was a bit further down, maybe committed to a different angle, but the warden just swings around and the skies and the warden still intact on this side of the map. 39:12.200 --> 39:16.440 Brady gets a little bit of a line onto the mezzanine player, but only a little bit of damage. 39:16.440 --> 39:17.480 Nothing to write home about. 39:17.480 --> 39:19.720 Skye's still present, but walks right in front of Joom. 39:19.720 --> 39:25.960 Again, on this library cutoff position, he's got one job and one job through most of these rounds, 39:25.960 --> 39:28.040 and Joom is doing it excellently. 39:28.040 --> 39:30.280 Sends out his second dope, he call. 39:30.280 --> 39:33.160 His Nekor decides he still has some fight left in him. 39:33.160 --> 39:34.200 They know he's here. 39:34.200 --> 39:36.200 He knows he just has to hold out. 39:36.200 --> 39:39.080 Joom has been the player on this attacking side. 39:39.080 --> 39:43.560 This entry over on Library has got a double kill each time it's happened, 39:43.560 --> 39:46.280 but it's a bit different this time, Ollie, because we only got a minute left. 39:46.280 --> 39:52.680 Yeah, we've lost Leaky Fack in the process as well, so an even 3 vs 3 with the HP Advantage at the moment for VP. 39:53.480 --> 39:57.720 Just turning that R or U projector on and off, seeing if there's a line that can be found. 39:57.720 --> 40:01.960 But with this wall soft, there is an invitation here for Breed8 to make his way through, 40:01.960 --> 40:05.400 especially given that we've got double reinforcement over toward that Library side. 40:05.400 --> 40:09.880 So the half wall is going to be crucial here, but when you just fall in, that stops that plant from happening. 40:09.880 --> 40:15.240 Ooh, you just falling, and Jume not getting the kill either, it's been so good with that DMR and the SMG-12. 40:15.240 --> 40:17.880 Not getting that one is uncharacteristic of him so far. 40:17.880 --> 40:22.360 Runigate activated around the corner, Den needs to be exposed from this angle, and he is. 40:22.360 --> 40:27.000 Jume finds the head, still so clean for Falcons on this attacking side. 40:27.000 --> 40:30.840 But so many players going for the retake, Warwick gets the exact right timing he needed, 40:30.840 --> 40:33.800 with Jume focused elsewhere, and Pasha still alive. 40:33.800 --> 40:39.260 Not getting a lot of impact on this defensive side, but at the tail end of round four, getting it where it's needed. 40:39.260 --> 40:42.560 The important killing that round feels like the one on to Leaky Fight, doesn't it? 40:42.560 --> 40:45.360 Because Leaky Fight was already playing that cutoff position. 40:45.360 --> 40:51.960 He was hiding out on the roof, trying to support his team, Jume and Breeday as they were both pushing up library stairs and inside of library. 40:51.960 --> 40:53.500 Just holding a little bit of an angle there. 40:53.500 --> 40:58.500 I can only imagine that they dropped and then started to play on piano window, and that's where the problem started to happen. 40:58.500 --> 41:03.780 because as soon as you've got that cross all the way through, then you can start to get a plant down behind half wall. 41:03.780 --> 41:08.260 If Leaky Facts able to cut through that site, especially with Lyon and that DMR. 41:08.260 --> 41:11.220 But again, the take from Falcons, very good. 41:11.220 --> 41:16.980 The response this time though, from Virtus Pro, after that timeout, I have a little bit more confidence about you. 41:16.980 --> 41:23.780 Rorik, there, swinging Ivy and getting the kill onto Jume, just alleviate so much pressure in that situation. 41:23.780 --> 41:28.340 He has to make a play of that nature, because if he doesn't, what's going to happen? 41:28.340 --> 41:29.540 You're just going to get by back. 41:29.540 --> 41:32.140 Gene can overwatch with the DMR, and Brady can get the plumb down. 41:32.140 --> 41:34.340 So a good adaptation there from VP. 41:34.340 --> 41:37.620 Well, and also it's a small thing, but even Pasha getting a double. 41:37.620 --> 41:39.260 He had a donut going into that round. 41:39.260 --> 41:41.100 Zero kills and three deaths. 41:41.100 --> 41:44.100 He's the highest rated defensive player in this entire lobby. 41:44.100 --> 41:48.820 Going into this match, 125 EPS over June even at 124. 41:48.820 --> 41:52.220 And he, on the attacking side, only around 84 EPS. 41:52.220 --> 41:54.140 So one of the best defensive-sided players, 41:54.140 --> 41:56.220 the best defensive-sided player, not only for Virtus.Pro, 41:56.220 --> 41:57.820 but in this lobby. 41:57.820 --> 42:02.700 And so, obviously, still at 2-2, still doing pretty well, but if Pasha starts getting activated, 42:02.700 --> 42:05.820 that's when things get really scary for Falcons in the back half of these defences. 42:07.820 --> 42:09.820 I believe we're just waiting for a decision to be made at the moment. 42:09.820 --> 42:14.820 There's a bit of a call for a tech, call for a re-host, but nothing happens. 42:14.820 --> 42:18.820 We continue to play. The players have only got to go on... 42:18.820 --> 42:20.820 They've got to play to the whistle, as we like to say. 42:21.820 --> 42:25.820 It looks like they're playing to the whistle. It looks like we are continuing with round five here. 42:25.820 --> 42:31.580 had not in the bathtub skies he's tucked right now he's actually got a little bit 42:31.580 --> 42:35.540 of safety around him as well with some of those magnets Rorick we'll just be 42:35.540 --> 42:43.380 making a couple of rotations there as well now we got the rehost I don't know 42:43.380 --> 42:50.600 who was bugged there but Pasha gave the full bug calm I think it was Pasha that 42:50.600 --> 42:55.720 was typing and saying that Rorick was the bugger. 42:55.720 --> 42:56.720 Where was he? 42:56.720 --> 42:57.720 I don't know. 42:57.720 --> 42:58.720 He couldn't reinforce. 42:58.720 --> 42:59.720 Oh. 42:59.720 --> 43:01.240 How did he try to hold and get F? 43:01.240 --> 43:03.320 I've heard that that's a good solution. 43:03.320 --> 43:04.320 It's a normal solution. 43:04.320 --> 43:06.360 You know what I found out the other day? 43:06.360 --> 43:07.360 What? 43:07.360 --> 43:08.840 First set pause of the day. 43:08.840 --> 43:10.920 So forgive us for going a little bit off topic straight away. 43:10.920 --> 43:11.920 It's early days. 43:11.920 --> 43:14.600 I've always held F when reinforcing. 43:14.600 --> 43:15.600 Oh, yeah. 43:15.600 --> 43:16.600 You don't need to do that. 43:16.600 --> 43:17.840 No, you don't need to do that. 43:17.840 --> 43:19.240 But to be fair, I still hold F. 43:19.240 --> 43:20.240 Yeah. 43:20.240 --> 43:21.360 It's just like, it's a comfort thing. 43:21.360 --> 43:24.160 I think it's psychological, 43:24.160 --> 43:26.000 because when you see the bar filling up, 43:26.000 --> 43:27.760 normally when you see that in video games, 43:27.760 --> 43:29.800 that's like, oh, I need a one, 43:29.800 --> 43:31.160 you're doing something, 43:31.160 --> 43:32.440 but specifically you're doing something like, 43:32.440 --> 43:35.760 oh, if the bar's not filled, I can't let up off the key. 43:35.760 --> 43:37.240 And a lot often, is it gonna like, 43:37.240 --> 43:38.480 and all just go back to zero, 43:38.480 --> 43:40.240 or is it gonna slowly take out? 43:40.240 --> 43:43.440 I've never wanted in my life to take that chance. 43:43.440 --> 43:46.080 Can you imagine holding F to put up the reinforcement? 43:46.080 --> 43:47.520 And when you let go of F, 43:47.520 --> 43:49.840 the guy just slowly puts it back in, 43:49.840 --> 43:52.800 Just like, oh, okay, guess we're not doing that. 43:52.800 --> 43:53.920 I just never wanted to take the chance 43:53.920 --> 43:54.880 of having to do it again. 43:54.880 --> 43:55.880 I think that's fair. 43:55.880 --> 43:57.960 I mean, as we just saw, 43:57.960 --> 43:59.440 when you get the chance to reinforce, 43:59.440 --> 44:00.480 you wanna savor that. 44:00.480 --> 44:02.920 You wanna be able to do it for as long as you can. 44:02.920 --> 44:05.920 And you don't wanna waste the memory of people like Rorick, 44:05.920 --> 44:09.800 who were denied unfairly the ability to reinforce. 44:09.800 --> 44:12.160 And a 2-2 promotion elimination game 44:12.160 --> 44:13.680 at the Salt Lake City Major, 44:13.680 --> 44:16.440 you need to hold down F and reinforce for Rorick. 44:16.440 --> 44:18.320 I'd be holding, I'd be holding. 44:18.320 --> 44:19.760 I'll be holding till the day I die. 44:19.760 --> 44:21.920 I would have taken my finger off if it was this kind of a game. 44:21.920 --> 44:23.360 No chance. 44:23.360 --> 44:26.000 Be spamming that for the quick time of ending that. 44:26.000 --> 44:29.400 That'd be cool if you could tap it and it'd go quicker. 44:29.400 --> 44:30.760 No, no, no. 44:30.760 --> 44:31.920 We're not doing that. 44:31.920 --> 44:34.880 That's too much. 44:34.880 --> 44:35.640 Would be nice though. 44:35.640 --> 44:38.640 I kind of like that there, instant reinforcement. 44:38.640 --> 44:43.480 It's just like a custom builder, like you just place it. 44:43.480 --> 44:45.360 Just random point. 44:45.360 --> 44:47.280 I think that would kind of defeat a massive part 44:47.280 --> 44:50.200 of Rainbow Six Siege the video game, 44:50.200 --> 44:52.600 considering the whole setup time thing. 44:53.720 --> 44:55.040 I don't know, it's incredible, isn't it? 44:55.040 --> 44:56.200 Also, think about this, actually, 44:56.200 --> 44:58.400 if we wanna take this to its logical conclusion, 44:58.400 --> 45:00.120 because in the prep phase, be fine, 45:00.120 --> 45:01.480 but what about, like, for example, 45:01.480 --> 45:02.640 I don't remember which game it was, 45:02.640 --> 45:03.720 I think it was a Shopify rebellion game, 45:03.720 --> 45:05.840 we saw like four pocket reinforcements, 45:05.840 --> 45:07.680 but you still instantly placed them mid-round? 45:07.680 --> 45:08.800 No, you wouldn't be allowed to do that. 45:08.800 --> 45:11.400 So you could only place them in the prep phase? 45:11.400 --> 45:12.880 Imagine if you were like, quick on the sticks 45:12.880 --> 45:14.400 that are reinforcing someone's like, 45:14.400 --> 45:15.680 jiggle-picking an angle and you're just like, 45:15.680 --> 45:17.120 Nope, not a chance. 45:17.120 --> 45:18.920 Bang, reinforcing straight there. 45:18.920 --> 45:20.040 Just throw it straight up. 45:20.040 --> 45:21.240 Catches the bullet midair. 45:21.240 --> 45:22.440 That'll actually be sick. 45:22.440 --> 45:24.400 OK, you've now completely convinced me on this idea. 45:24.400 --> 45:26.560 I think this is a great idea. 45:26.560 --> 45:28.000 We should write this down. 45:28.000 --> 45:30.240 I don't know that this breaking momentum is going to be great 45:30.240 --> 45:31.240 for Falcons at the moment. 45:31.240 --> 45:33.480 They really came out of the gates hot today. 45:33.480 --> 45:35.360 First game, early game as well. 45:35.360 --> 45:37.520 So they've clearly been getting ready and clearly 45:37.520 --> 45:39.560 having a decent scrim ahead of this. 45:39.560 --> 45:41.440 Of course, with some of the teams now being sent home 45:41.440 --> 45:43.880 or on the way home, maybe a bit more scrim opportunity 45:43.880 --> 45:45.600 for that sort of thing as well. 45:45.600 --> 45:51.440 I'm sure the T2 scene here in NA is really making up for any lack of scrim there as well, 45:51.440 --> 45:56.440 but looks like we're going to be back into the game exactly where we left off. 45:56.440 --> 46:00.560 We did see a good portion, I quote, of round five. 46:00.560 --> 46:06.560 I think it will at least be the same sites, although we are going bar and games, 46:06.560 --> 46:08.560 and we did go kitchen dining, so... 46:10.400 --> 46:11.760 I mean, bar and games is open. 46:11.760 --> 46:14.760 It's not like it's a site that they've won on and restricted. 46:15.600 --> 46:17.400 played it on the back and round too. 46:17.400 --> 46:20.640 Well, and see our expert gamble of talking about nonsense 46:20.640 --> 46:22.280 during the tech pause, paying off, 46:22.280 --> 46:24.080 because we would have dedicated a lot of analysis 46:24.080 --> 46:27.280 to what is now a completely different site. 46:27.280 --> 46:29.440 Yep, with completely different operators, 46:30.360 --> 46:31.880 and a completely different setup. 46:31.880 --> 46:34.680 Even Falcons looks like they forgot 46:34.680 --> 46:37.080 what they were playing, because so far, 46:37.080 --> 46:39.720 we haven't got any of it on the screen right now. 46:39.720 --> 46:42.600 We've got into a glass thermite combination. 46:42.600 --> 46:44.560 I'm sure that's gonna change when they realize 46:44.560 --> 46:48.960 where the site is, and what exactly it is that they're going to be going up against here. 46:48.960 --> 46:52.480 And maybe it's slightly more trap focused than the side of Virtus Pro. 46:52.480 --> 46:56.920 We haven't really seen that same level of trap attention yet. 46:56.920 --> 47:00.360 Fenrir coming in arguably is one of the first. 47:00.360 --> 47:03.920 We've seen a couple of L plays, but we haven't seen like a full trifecta. 47:03.920 --> 47:07.680 We've not had everyone playing an L or Fenrir in a thorn and a lesion and all that sort of stuff. 47:07.680 --> 47:10.680 So it's slowly starting to trickle in a little bit here. 47:10.680 --> 47:15.000 And I'm sure that those FNATs will be a little bit of a thorn in the side. 47:15.000 --> 47:17.880 Fortunately, this time it's not used on the Twitch, it is going to be solid top. 47:17.880 --> 47:19.560 So again, something that can be dealt with. 47:19.560 --> 47:23.880 Yeah, generally speaking, when it comes to Virtus.Pro's defenses, 47:23.880 --> 47:26.680 it's pretty consistent for at least on Shelly, if you're to be in a rune 47:26.680 --> 47:28.040 in some kind of trap hop, right? 47:28.040 --> 47:29.480 Whether it's one, whether it's two. 47:29.480 --> 47:32.840 So this is just them again going with their pretty consistent game plan. 47:32.840 --> 47:35.480 And again, the thing about traps, as you said, you can slot a thorn in there. 47:35.480 --> 47:37.080 You can slot an L in there from Fenrir. 47:37.080 --> 47:38.160 They do different things. 47:38.160 --> 47:43.060 and yet they all feel the same general purpose, stopping the attack a little bit and giving 47:43.060 --> 47:46.780 information on where they're pushing, whether they're prioritizing when clearing that U2 47:46.780 --> 47:49.660 or what gets activated if they actually walk into a position. 47:49.660 --> 47:53.940 Something that is unwielding at the moment is Dan's want and need to play DMR, and we 47:53.940 --> 47:57.900 are seeing two DMRs that will be brought here in AQ joining in on that action as well. 47:57.900 --> 48:01.660 He's been playing quite a bit of smoke ahead of this round five. 48:01.660 --> 48:04.180 So clearly wanting to try and hold some of these longer lines. 48:04.180 --> 48:06.500 Zoom, got a bit of information there. 48:06.500 --> 48:08.660 There's no lion scan to route that player in place, 48:08.660 --> 48:10.500 so that player now can move. 48:10.500 --> 48:12.220 There's no one on an active drone at the minute. 48:12.220 --> 48:14.700 It's going to be looked down to the logic bomb phone call, 48:14.700 --> 48:18.500 and that's always an indicator that the pressure is starting to mount. 48:18.500 --> 48:22.060 And the C4 is always an indicator that the defender might be trying to move. 48:22.060 --> 48:24.020 Before, when he was playing Orix, 48:24.020 --> 48:26.780 we might dash across the window, made his way back. 48:26.780 --> 48:29.780 But not this time, unfortunately, 48:29.780 --> 48:32.740 felled by the P&O window player. 48:32.740 --> 48:40.480 now those Zodac, Zodo canisters falling, Oryx might have been particularly good in round two because of the Monty brought by Breidei, 48:40.480 --> 48:48.160 but in terms of broader applicability and slowing down the attack, I think losing those Zodos is going to be a lot more important. 48:48.160 --> 48:54.080 But one important thing, Ollie, they still have four players around bar and games, and that was sufficient for VP last time. 48:54.080 --> 49:00.760 And they've still got Dan playing at fireplace here, so let's off, is trying to challenge onto him at the moment, but Dan will eventually drop off. 49:00.760 --> 49:05.300 Smokes now gonna block off a lot of line of sight toward library as leaky fact 49:05.300 --> 49:10.880 He's got that library window now open skies is still tucked though and will just be discovered on the drone 49:10.880 --> 49:17.160 This is now how the round will be defined. I mean I say that solid off just swings and absolutely rinses in with the DMR 49:17.160 --> 49:20.640 So that's done and dusted Roryk will find one back as a trade though 49:20.640 --> 49:24.480 So the information gained on that solid on scanner no longer a factor in this round 49:24.480 --> 49:27.260 You have to find these players through sheer drone alone 49:27.260 --> 49:34.260 Sheer drone alone, and VP don't exactly have a lot of utility to stop any of the attackers from acting on the information gain. 49:34.260 --> 49:40.260 We're out of toxic canisters, our F-NOTs, who knows how many are remaining around the site, how close or far they may be, 49:40.260 --> 49:43.260 or even if they're in really applicable positions to where Falcons might be pushing from. 49:43.260 --> 49:47.260 This will be low time, they spot the smoke before the drone's inevitably shot. 49:47.260 --> 49:51.260 There will have to be some kind of over-performance from VP, and that's even harder with Breidae going down. 49:51.260 --> 49:57.760 Pasha who's been quiet through the first two to three rounds, who came alive in round four, has another 1v1 coming his way, but Saltop 49:57.760 --> 50:04.000 Quick around the corner, good headshot by Dan, but Falcons with too many men to deal with, there's not really much where this bro can deal 50:04.000 --> 50:11.040 The value that you just brings this team is incredible and it's so easy to miss it. That isn't something that's getting caught on a scoreboard 50:11.040 --> 50:16.040 It's not getting caught in an EPS line, rotating his drone from downstairs, finding not only the player 50:16.040 --> 50:22.340 Well, kind of confirming that there's a player in closet because you expected to be one there and also confirming the player led down behind long bar 50:22.480 --> 50:28.460 Bank immediately after that Rory's dead long bar is gone. I don't and dusted and from that point onwards 50:28.640 --> 50:34.880 It's fine because again, they've opened up the site. They know it's the player that's tucked inside a closet and lost player 50:34.880 --> 50:36.600 Pasha, I mean he can come from anywhere 50:36.600 --> 50:41.320 I think salt off must have known because it did look like there was a bit of a pre-fire going on there from sorts 50:41.320 --> 50:45.180 So I imagine a drone in and around that long corridor potentially as well 50:45.680 --> 50:49.980 It's it's far you that isn't seen well, and also when you think about those two manning players 50:49.980 --> 50:52.400 We confirmed two positions of them posh it wasn't confirmed 50:52.900 --> 50:59.160 But if you're solid top pushing down blue stairs, where's the most likely position of players probably riding in the late round? 50:59.360 --> 51:03.100 Do you think it's kitchen dining or do you think it's probably on lower blue landing? 51:03.220 --> 51:05.080 It's probably on lower blue landing 51:05.080 --> 51:08.020 So if you're gonna take that gamble you're gonna pre-fire and try to be ready for it 51:08.020 --> 51:11.340 And so Pasha wasn't in a situation of can I catch them off guard, there's probably more. 51:11.340 --> 51:16.040 Can I win this fight that is inevitably going to come for me and wasn't able to in that case. 51:16.040 --> 51:18.440 Good foresight, good information gathering by Falcons. 51:19.160 --> 51:24.420 Guarantee themselves at least an even half as Virtus.pro for their final side will try barring games again. 51:24.820 --> 51:27.020 They're really banging their head against this one aren't they? 51:27.020 --> 51:30.420 I get that they won it inside a round two, but they also won upstairs. 51:30.420 --> 51:31.920 Master bedroom in round four. 51:32.420 --> 51:35.720 Going back to barring games now, all right, you've got the mirror. 51:36.620 --> 51:37.920 You've got the Denari trip. 51:37.920 --> 51:42.420 Is that a big enough difference? The mirror window can be, of course, it can be massive. 51:42.420 --> 51:46.220 But I just don't know that that's going to help you hold onto library as much. 51:46.220 --> 51:51.280 Ooh, Leaky Fat. Careful now, C4. Like, oh, Jim saved the day! 51:51.280 --> 51:54.420 Shot him before he could dare to hit a C4. 51:54.420 --> 51:57.920 Leaky Fat was going for the martyrdom. He was like, if I'm going, you're coming with me. 51:57.920 --> 52:00.520 I'm just going to nade you and my nade will get you after the grave. 52:00.520 --> 52:03.920 But Jim has saved the day here in round six. 52:03.920 --> 52:09.920 Jume definitely candidate for MVP of Chalet Attack, not only 8 and 5, 52:09.920 --> 52:13.920 doing so much good work on that library entry to the first few rounds, 52:13.920 --> 52:15.920 but that not only could have been a single, depending on the proximity, 52:15.920 --> 52:17.920 that could have been a double right there at the C4. 52:17.920 --> 52:22.920 Instead, Falcons stacking up outside of the bar window, Pasha playing close around the corner. 52:22.920 --> 52:24.920 Can another defender catch Falcons off guard? 52:24.920 --> 52:27.920 Not if Jume, another double at the beginning of these rounds. 52:27.920 --> 52:31.920 Licky back looking to make good off that foundation set. 52:31.920 --> 52:38.260 3-day, gets shot in the back, Pasha might just make it away into stock, but only just. 52:38.260 --> 52:45.920 They still have the round to go, Falcons try to gamble and while they lose the shield, they keep the diffuser and that's the important part. 52:45.920 --> 52:51.820 They keep the diffuser, the HP is a little bit ropey though. It's gonna get a lot better once Skies falls. 52:51.820 --> 52:53.020 Leaky fact. 52:54.320 --> 52:58.320 Man on borrowed time it seems right now, after the way that this round started. 52:58.320 --> 53:02.880 And Junes to close things out, just Junes things, honestly, just a little wallbang, no worries about it. 53:03.600 --> 53:08.560 Light them player on the attack so far, Falcons, what a convincing first phase. 53:09.280 --> 53:13.120 Convincing first phase and I have to imagine Virtus.Pro gonna have to reckon with that going into this timeout. 53:13.600 --> 53:14.400 Good kill, Brigitte. 53:14.400 --> 53:15.360 Fucking Zagos. 53:15.360 --> 53:18.320 I just dropped you, Brigitte, but then I couldn't pick up the gun or anything, yeah. 53:18.320 --> 53:21.600 Yeah, no, no, I've got my smoke, so that's fine. 53:22.400 --> 53:25.200 Good stuff guys, communication's really good, adaptation. 53:25.200 --> 53:25.760 The guy was. 53:26.560 --> 53:27.040 Fine. 53:27.040 --> 53:31.040 Yeah, I'm just gonna talk about the genders too, because I already spoke about what they're gonna do. 53:31.040 --> 53:35.040 They're very young, mid-round, elite-round, about to retake. 53:35.040 --> 53:39.040 They don't like when opponents play aggro on them, so that's what they're gonna do. 53:39.040 --> 53:44.040 And early round, they are close to each other in general, so don't be young if you're killed. 53:44.040 --> 53:49.040 So they basically like, they're close to each other, so we are close to each other, and fucking full of frags, you know? 53:49.040 --> 53:53.040 You know how they play? Basically, it's like, basically, they will just like be all close to each other, 53:53.040 --> 53:56.720 to each other then after they will rotate and pinch from everywhere okay and their 53:56.720 --> 54:00.800 second way to play is full retard with full exact then can also go glass whenever 54:00.800 --> 54:04.440 he wants like doing the same thing as he do with main but he's just doing glass 54:04.440 --> 54:07.640 so I think we should always like have utility on the set so we force him to not 54:07.640 --> 54:10.920 play glass you know what I mean someone have to bring twitch for him or he can't 54:10.920 --> 54:15.360 play glass like this and yeah the defense 54:15.800 --> 54:20.080 here one can learn daining and one jungle or they can just go through their 54:20.080 --> 54:27.580 So Nikita, if you don't want to play Gass, you also can play any operator if you smoke. 54:27.580 --> 54:31.720 You smoke that pixel, and you rank A9 to try to kill the top main guy, you know? 54:31.720 --> 54:34.520 Because Glass for sure, like, you smoke and you pick the side guy. 54:34.520 --> 54:37.520 And if he's not like a top pick side guy, you just smoke and you run, and kill top main, 54:37.520 --> 54:38.520 kill jungle. 54:38.520 --> 54:40.680 So if you do Albers, you can do that type of shit. 54:40.680 --> 54:44.000 Also like for Albers, it's guy's check if you need Teche for the break the traps for 54:44.000 --> 54:45.760 your shield, so it's kind of fine. 54:45.760 --> 54:47.880 Like if you don't need it, you can play a lot of different operators, right? 54:47.880 --> 54:51.280 I think on Albert, Danila can end and get a jungle. 54:51.280 --> 54:52.680 They slept, I think they have a long time. 54:52.680 --> 54:54.080 I don't know, but whatever. 54:54.080 --> 54:56.680 Whatever, you guys just choose, this is not important. 54:56.680 --> 54:59.480 Now, you guys both have to play this position, so it's fine. 54:59.480 --> 55:01.480 Anyway, we are in solo attack. 55:01.480 --> 55:06.180 Danila, for you, the best operator you've seen, you can choose that. 55:06.180 --> 55:09.280 For solo attack, like a full fine, time to show that shit. 55:09.280 --> 55:10.680 And it's that case, let's go. 55:10.680 --> 55:12.080 Round by round. 55:12.080 --> 55:13.280 Round by round. 55:13.280 --> 55:16.080 Round by round. 55:16.080 --> 55:17.280 Time to show it. 55:17.280 --> 55:20.420 That's probably the best thing we could ever hear at the end of Attack Time Out. 55:20.420 --> 55:22.120 It's so insightful, isn't it? 55:22.120 --> 55:25.780 I mean, the thing is, it's not Do Or Die yet, it's Map 1 in the best of three. 55:25.780 --> 55:28.820 But you don't want it to start slipping so early. 55:28.820 --> 55:31.120 VP obviously fancies the chances here on Chalet. 55:31.120 --> 55:34.120 And, excitingly, they've got stuff they haven't shown us yet. 55:34.120 --> 55:37.880 And to your point about it, you know, not necessarily being Do Or Die, 55:37.880 --> 55:39.220 there's only being Map 1, 55:39.220 --> 55:40.780 Main Stage is not something at least in a major. 55:40.780 --> 55:43.720 VP are all that familiar with, they may be in Montreal, 55:43.720 --> 55:46.920 but one, that's already almost getting a year and a half ago, and two, 55:46.920 --> 55:48.760 That's still one of their only major appearances. 55:48.760 --> 55:50.200 The only other major appearance, I believe, 55:50.200 --> 55:53.120 is even going back to Raleigh in 2019 to Virtus.Pro. 55:53.120 --> 55:55.120 They've made Main Stage at SI plenty of times, 55:55.120 --> 55:58.280 but for Majors, it's something that not only has escaped them, 55:58.280 --> 56:00.040 even when they qualify, and I remember still back 56:00.040 --> 56:03.160 in Copenhagen, Atlanta, going out at the 2-3 Stage, 56:03.160 --> 56:05.800 that was that team's ceiling for quite a while. 56:05.800 --> 56:07.840 So making it to Main Stage at Majors 56:07.840 --> 56:10.120 is not something VP are guaranteed to do. 56:10.120 --> 56:12.480 Ever since Blast took over, it's only been one time 56:12.480 --> 56:13.320 so they've been able to do it, 56:13.320 --> 56:17.380 and might be a good reason to bring some stuff out 56:17.380 --> 56:19.440 that you have not shown up until this point. 56:19.440 --> 56:22.640 We see there were a tease for a little bit by Dan, 56:22.640 --> 56:23.680 but still giving some discretion 56:23.680 --> 56:24.800 only going with the Twitch right now, 56:24.800 --> 56:26.600 but could change, but maybe not this round. 56:26.600 --> 56:27.760 I think there were more thinking about that 56:27.760 --> 56:29.880 for some sort of solo sided master boss. 56:29.880 --> 56:32.360 And I mean, maybe they've been watching my rank stack 56:32.360 --> 56:35.640 because we have a great little sense play on that master side. 56:35.640 --> 56:38.080 If you ever come up against it, I'm sorry, I do apologize, 56:38.080 --> 56:41.120 but it's eight per time, it works every time. 56:41.120 --> 56:42.640 It really is a good one. 56:42.640 --> 56:45.840 We do seem to be loving this downstairs sight at the moment. 56:45.840 --> 56:50.940 Bar and Games has been by far and away the most popular sight that we have seen so far 56:50.940 --> 56:52.780 today on Chalet. 56:52.780 --> 56:56.340 Not only for VP on their defence, but for Falcons as well. 56:56.340 --> 56:57.340 Dan? 56:57.340 --> 56:58.940 He's just saving his own Twitch drone. 56:58.940 --> 56:59.940 We love that. 56:59.940 --> 57:00.940 It's resourceful. 57:00.940 --> 57:03.820 And he can clear through and start to destroy a little bit of utility. 57:03.820 --> 57:07.940 The bulletproof camera on those main stairs is an absolute classic by the way. 57:07.940 --> 57:10.580 That is something that Falcons do love to do. 57:10.580 --> 57:13.460 It looks like there's going to be a slightly different ideology here. 57:13.460 --> 57:17.580 There's a lot of drone work going on, not only in trophy, but also inside a kitchen as well. 57:17.580 --> 57:21.820 Well, and I was going to say, talking about ideology, you can see a different ideology from Falcons. 57:21.820 --> 57:26.460 Not banning any of the shields against Veritas Pro, but VP saying ideology, bringing out the Monty. 57:26.460 --> 57:31.100 It's Niko's least played shield, Blitz and Blackbeard. Take that by a wide margin. 57:31.100 --> 57:35.580 But it is still something, even in the tactile that we heard, Dark was talking about, you know, 57:35.580 --> 57:39.700 we can clear the traps for your shield this way, but the shield was almost being treated as a given. 57:39.700 --> 57:41.140 that of course he was going to play it. 57:41.140 --> 57:45.060 So it's clear that Virtus.Pro still want to stick with this, and going back to what we said earlier, 57:45.060 --> 57:49.260 about the potential lack of depth on this roster, it's not something we need to say they will lose the game for, 57:49.260 --> 57:50.460 but it's something to be worried about. 57:50.460 --> 57:54.060 R's VP still being a bit too predictable with these shields. 57:55.060 --> 57:57.060 If you don't ban the shields, you know what we're going to play. 57:57.060 --> 57:59.140 So you can get rid of other things, right? 57:59.140 --> 58:03.540 And Jume is well aware that the shield is going to be played, because they're playing the clash. 58:03.540 --> 58:07.260 A brilliant counter to a Monty, especially if you can keep your distance. 58:07.260 --> 58:11.700 Another benefit here is, well, you've got a removable deployable shield now. 58:11.700 --> 58:15.020 So you can just play a little bit aggro at the early portion around, and then guess what? 58:15.020 --> 58:18.860 Halfway point, you drop back, and you play the typical shield position inside a library. 58:18.860 --> 58:24.620 Great pick there from Solotov to take Dan down, unsuspecting there on the side of Cane and Repel. 58:24.620 --> 58:27.900 And he's just going to be allowed to slip back in to that fireplace position. 58:29.900 --> 58:35.420 And Skye's trying to come up from below, but it seems Falcon's completely ready for whatever VP have in store. 58:35.420 --> 58:39.420 I mean, he's walking through the barbed wire, and Brede is letting him just sit in shotgun ready. 58:39.420 --> 58:42.420 No problems whatsoever getting that kill. 58:42.420 --> 58:44.420 A lot of problems here for the Monty. 58:44.420 --> 58:46.420 Clash at the opposite side of the hallway. 58:46.420 --> 58:50.420 Three defenders bearing down on his position. 58:50.420 --> 58:52.420 I've also heard something from Julio. 58:52.420 --> 58:57.420 During the attack timeout, they like to play together in the early ground, so just don't peek them. 58:57.420 --> 59:01.420 But in a 5v1, you can be afforded a little troll time. 59:01.420 --> 59:08.220 5-2 now for Falcons, a flawless to begin their defences, and VP sticking with the same strategy 59:08.220 --> 59:11.300 and unfortunately might get some unfortunate results. 59:11.300 --> 59:13.420 It's about sending a message at that point, isn't it? 59:13.420 --> 59:17.820 5 vs 1, you might be a Monty on a shield, but we are just going to full send at you, 59:17.820 --> 59:21.820 because there is no way that you are going to be able to kill all of us. 59:21.820 --> 59:24.300 A trend on the attack has continued on to the defense. 59:24.300 --> 59:29.620 Granted, we've only seen one round, but Falcons have been so, so good with that opening pick. 59:29.620 --> 59:33.340 You can see sort of getting it over on to down there these two teams 59:33.340 --> 59:39.960 They know each other inside and out of the state and into this domestic matchup both these teams hail from EU 59:40.100 --> 59:45.280 So it is expected that they're gonna know each other quite well at this point the head-to-head for them both 59:45.460 --> 59:47.460 Has VP with an edge at the minute 59:48.100 --> 59:54.340 But Falcons always just seem like that bigger brother team throwing into the same category as G2 very much like a bigger brother team 59:54.340 --> 59:57.380 It feels like that's what we've seen so far on Shallay. 59:57.380 --> 01:00:02.260 It's not over by any stretch, but 5-2 is quite a mountain here for VP to climb. 01:00:02.260 --> 01:00:07.060 Quite a mountain and to your point is why I think VP is still looking to recover from that massive slump they had 01:00:07.060 --> 01:00:13.140 throughout most of last year and of course, necessitating at least in their minds this massive three person roster change 01:00:13.140 --> 01:00:16.660 but also for this round, necessitating a change in strategy. 01:00:16.660 --> 01:00:22.420 We see the Rora come in from Dan and maybe of equal importance of moving away from the shields for Naquo. 01:00:22.420 --> 01:00:25.520 So just to point out, going into this match, 01:00:25.520 --> 01:00:28.600 Neko had played 70 rounds of shields, 01:00:28.600 --> 01:00:32.800 and 170 rounds played on both attack and defense, 01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:34.000 going into this match. 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.300 That's almost half of total rounds on just shields, 01:00:37.300 --> 01:00:38.880 on just attack. 01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:42.720 So him going to ace, it's not like a massive exception, 01:00:42.720 --> 01:00:43.920 but it is kind of a big deal, 01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:45.960 and representative that VP, at least for this round, 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:47.520 are committing to something new. 01:00:47.520 --> 01:00:48.360 Big enough. 01:00:48.360 --> 01:00:50.800 It is big enough of an exception. 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:52.360 Nice drone balance there from Pasha. 01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:54.080 I'm stealing that one. 01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:58.400 Got some good information straight away and of course avoids that Denarii trip. 01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:02.880 It will be placed on the window, just as an annoyance more than anything else. 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:03.380 Ooh. 01:01:03.720 --> 01:01:04.920 Not so keen on the Selmetos. 01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.160 You have to pick that up and have a little re-attempt there. 01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:09.160 Making it will be getting that job done. 01:01:09.160 --> 01:01:10.920 C4 attempted there from Leakyback. 01:01:11.160 --> 01:01:13.040 I think he's potentially just trying to make something happen. 01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:14.440 But he's rewarding this time. 01:01:14.600 --> 01:01:17.240 He's gonna have a really good visibility through the smoke straight away. 01:01:17.240 --> 01:01:20.320 Good visibility through the smokes and the candela. 01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:25.400 I think you even heard one of the hard breach chargers, Selma chargers, get popped by Falcons. 01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:28.360 This initial play by Virtus Pro not working, but where are these doors going to go? 01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.320 See the initial push, solos, Neko ready for that flank. 01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:33.680 One of the big defenders on Falcons taken down. 01:01:33.680 --> 01:01:35.000 No clear lead. 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.840 As not only VP, lose their advantage, but also stuck on solo. 01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:41.400 We've seen a lot of attacking teams get stuck on this position, especially hitting that 01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:42.400 Denari trip up top. 01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:43.640 Can't really progress forward. 01:01:43.640 --> 01:01:47.740 Now, LickyFackin uses both looking to go for a two-man retake, swinging out, and they quote, 01:01:47.740 --> 01:01:53.440 not ready for it. Neither is Pasha, both hitting the deck as Fridae sends Skies to an early grave. 01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:59.840 Dan's only used one of those doors in that special new strat we heard Dark Call that it was time to bring out. 01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:05.040 Unfortunately, we might still be waiting to see its full impact, and maybe we'll never get to see it. 01:02:05.040 --> 01:02:11.440 Because at this rate, in a 4v1 with Dan on one HP stuck outside a bathroom window, 01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:15.200 It is looking like Falcons will acquire a four round lead 01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:18.760 Moving up over a vertus pro six to two 01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:22.000 The roar straight needs a little bit more time in the oven 01:02:22.640 --> 01:02:27.080 I'm not sure it is entirely cooked just yet. There was a sense one as well 01:02:27.080 --> 01:02:30.600 We maybe get to see yes a little bit later on maybe we'll get to see it here and now 01:02:30.600 --> 01:02:36.240 I would laugh my head off a falcon's band sense at this point and just knew they're just like how we've heard you've got something cooking 01:02:36.240 --> 01:02:39.440 We're gonna get rid of that no new stress for you today. I'm sure they won't 01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:45.560 We've got a little bit more time until the next round of Bands anyway, so let's see a couple of replays from the previous round 01:02:45.560 --> 01:02:51.920 Some really horrible trips there I think set up by users knowing that this solar side was going to be the side that VP pushed from and 01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:58.880 Annoyingly VP just tried to brute force it the same way that we've seen them kind of trying brute force a lot of things in this game 01:02:59.040 --> 01:03:02.540 It's been oh, this is where all the utilities this is where everything's set up 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:06.720 Well, unfortunately, this is our plan. So we've got to go through it how hard on us 01:03:06.720 --> 01:03:12.240 you know instead of being willing and able to go actually if there's all this here I wonder what's 01:03:12.240 --> 01:03:16.240 over at library oh nothing right well maybe just take from library side then and we'll still take 01:03:16.240 --> 01:03:21.440 top floor and we'll clear that way just feels like they're fighting falcons where they are strongest 01:03:21.440 --> 01:03:27.520 at the moment on every turn fighting falcons where they're strongest and VP after that unfortunate 01:03:27.520 --> 01:03:32.960 failure of at least the initial attempt of a new strategy now falling back on an old favorite 01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:36.560 And Naquill, picking the Blitz, and we've got a lot of good operators. 01:03:36.560 --> 01:03:43.360 Blitz, Ying, Glaz, with the Thatcher indicates you might have a bit of a rush, Ollie, but not all that atypical for VP. 01:03:43.860 --> 01:03:46.160 Surprising not to see the reward and be played this time. 01:03:46.160 --> 01:03:51.160 Something that you've mentioned yourself is that the very high pit crate when available inside of Salt Lake City, 01:03:51.160 --> 01:03:54.860 and now you've got a situation where you've got three things that it's going to be quite good against, 01:03:54.860 --> 01:03:57.560 and unfortunately for Vulcans, they don't have it instead. 01:03:57.560 --> 01:04:01.000 going to be going a little bit more down that trap route and certainly that catch route. 01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:06.560 Why am I in this game seeing an incredible rise in pick rate? Catchers fell out of popularity 01:04:06.560 --> 01:04:11.320 for quite a long time, really. And now we're starting to see a little bit of an introduction 01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:15.560 again. I don't mind it, it's not like we're going back to the 27-meter sort of stage, 01:04:15.560 --> 01:04:20.960 but it's nice to see everything getting its place in the sun a little bit. Jun, he's 01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:25.320 be cautious down there, he's clearing drones, but again he knows this team is going to try 01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:29.320 and push quite aggressively together in the early portion around him, just want to get caught out. 01:04:30.120 --> 01:04:33.720 And also knows that VP is probably ready for some kind of trick from him again, 01:04:33.720 --> 01:04:37.880 one of the best defensive players in this lobby, basically tied with Pasha, 01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:40.520 playing operators like Solis. Quick push in, 01:04:40.520 --> 01:04:43.520 UPs destroying any utility that might stop Naquo hit by the impact, 01:04:43.520 --> 01:04:47.720 can't disable that one with the EMP, glasshopping in quickly as well. 01:04:48.120 --> 01:04:53.120 But it hit with some DMR shots in the back, and this should be opening kill for Virtus Pro. 01:04:53.120 --> 01:04:55.960 Also required some library control, but Joom, 01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:58.640 was moving over by Mezzanine in fireplace, 01:04:58.640 --> 01:04:59.760 worked his way through the basement, 01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:01.600 now moved up to Blue Stairs, 01:05:01.600 --> 01:05:02.880 pops Warwick in the back, 01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:04.640 takes a Twitch drone down with him, 01:05:04.640 --> 01:05:06.320 and slips back down into bar on game, 01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:08.080 Solotov also with an angle. 01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:10.080 Ooh, so patient with it! 01:05:10.080 --> 01:05:11.360 On the second attempt, 01:05:11.360 --> 01:05:12.720 it's Pasha Hoek who falls, 01:05:12.720 --> 01:05:15.120 the flankers, the roamers from Falcons, 01:05:15.120 --> 01:05:17.120 making some big mid-round plays, 01:05:17.120 --> 01:05:19.840 as Virtus Pro keep turning their backs, 01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:23.040 and keep making the same mistakes. 01:05:23.040 --> 01:05:29.440 Falcons with their third 7-2 in a row up 1-0 in the promotion game. 01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.920 Falcons look like they have had a match lit underneath them this past 24 hours. 01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:41.120 Very big result yesterday into a cracking map one of the series against Virtus.pro here today. 01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:46.320 We've got more to come. This is the best of three and VP need a little bit of time to adjust. 01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:47.680 We'll be back right after this. 01:13:23.040 --> 01:13:33.460 Well, that one wasn't even close, was it? I mean, 7-2 for Shally out the gate. Even more 01:13:33.460 --> 01:13:38.540 dominant than the game against G2 yesterday, BP unfortunately, trending in the wrong direction 01:13:38.540 --> 01:13:42.260 at the absolute worst possible moment. Yeah, it seems like that's the way Falcons 01:13:42.260 --> 01:13:46.120 games have been going right, though. They've had very quick games, and they've had one 01:13:46.120 --> 01:13:50.720 overtime game, 1-8-6. But aside from that, everything's felt like it's just been so one 01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:56.260 way or another and that kind of the polar opposite of where we started this Swiss stage when they played wildcard on 01:13:56.260 --> 01:14:02.640 Chalet and lost 1-7. Now they've kind of redeemed themselves a little bit here with that 7-2 win against VP. 01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:06.340 It isn't all sunshine and roses though when it comes to the maps for this series. 01:14:06.340 --> 01:14:12.120 No, unfortunately. Fortress is, I mean, honestly kind of a bit hit or miss for both teams. 01:14:12.120 --> 01:14:19.460 Fortress is a higher preference map for Virtus Pro, but by the same token, their most recent play on it was a 7-5 loss 01:14:19.460 --> 01:14:24.580 against Shotgunfire million and what was generally a pretty competitive game but before that at least 01:14:24.580 --> 01:14:29.060 in the past few months with this new roster the only major win is against Fnatic and like 01:14:29.860 --> 01:14:33.860 I don't have to say anything else beyond that. What are you trying to say? I think I've just said 01:14:33.860 --> 01:14:38.660 enough. I think you have. Falkens on the flip side they've played Fortress four times in the last 01:14:38.660 --> 01:14:44.500 six months and they've only been good for one win so again it's not like they've been a good early 01:14:44.500 --> 01:14:52.500 a big early fan of Fortress coming into things. Their one win was against Team Secret. It was about a month ago inside a kickoff, and it was a 7-0. 01:14:52.500 --> 01:15:04.500 So, take from that what you will, but obviously June was on that Falcons team at that point, having just left that Secret roster, and Fortress to the map, the Secret played a hell of a lot over at SI. 01:15:04.500 --> 01:15:12.500 Enough about them, and more about this, Falcons vs VP, second map here in this best of three, and we are going to be headed to Fortress. 01:15:12.500 --> 01:15:15.940 Fortress Falcons with a chance at taking a clean 2-0 01:15:16.380 --> 01:15:21.840 But VP are looking for a bit of revenge from cafe again vertus pro not 01:15:22.540 --> 01:15:26.300 Always a team that to makes these majors or main stages at the major 01:15:26.820 --> 01:15:28.820 Still Montreal one of the 01:15:29.020 --> 01:15:33.820 Exceptions to the rule that either they might fall short of qualification whether it's to the event period 01:15:33.860 --> 01:15:38.220 It's still struggling to consistently make those main stages with this new look roster 01:15:38.220 --> 01:15:44.620 trying to set a new standard for the team. Falcons, by the same extension, looking to still step out of Shaco's shadow, 01:15:44.620 --> 01:15:45.900 which, let's be honest, 01:15:45.900 --> 01:15:50.100 I think they're doing quite well. Jume's still an excellent player, one of the best players inside of Europe. 01:15:50.100 --> 01:15:55.740 I think making Main Stage, even if they don't get second, I think a Main Stage appearance out the gate is kind of required for the team, 01:15:55.740 --> 01:16:01.020 but I also think if they don't get more than that, I don't know how unhappy they'll be with his generally new iteration. 01:16:01.020 --> 01:16:04.100 You've got to think about how long the roster was together pre-change. 01:16:04.100 --> 01:16:10.520 It's a roster that hasn't changed for it. It's very akin to sort of your phase and there's not many rosters that go through a 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:14.380 Long period of time like two plus years without making a single roster change 01:16:14.380 --> 01:16:17.860 So it's impressive enough as it is that they've been able to slot in a new player 01:16:17.860 --> 01:16:23.540 And I think that just goes to show the flexibility of somebody like June boy. Oh boy. It's a chank of that 01:16:24.380 --> 01:16:26.840 Hello, I don't even know what to say about that like 01:16:27.300 --> 01:16:33.520 Chank is great on this map. He is honestly there's quite a few maps that he's very good on I think and if you think about some of the maps 01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:40.460 we see a lot of tachanka play layer for example comes to mind consulate one that comes to mind and what do all of those maps have in 01:16:40.460 --> 01:16:44.560 Common well aside from having like a ton of rooms that you have to worry about I 01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:50.640 Think I think another thing that they have is at least when it comes to the side look at you know command look at command for example 01:16:51.220 --> 01:16:56.240 Now a whole lot of space we got going on here if you're able to land a shumika and bank it on one of these doorways 01:16:56.240 --> 01:16:58.560 Not a lot of space and some very minimal entrances 01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:02.540 It's not like you could walk in through a breach and go to a bunch of off plant spots 01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:07.360 You're gonna probably stick in one of these corners and if you just bank a shumika, right? It's landing right at your feet 01:17:08.080 --> 01:17:13.080 Devastating I mean Falcons have played it once in the last two times 01:17:13.080 --> 01:17:19.800 They played this map for one round which they did win so a devastating back being brought out here by the I think they've really got a 01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:26.040 Good handle on how falcons defend their storms and games against twisted minds over a month ago 01:17:26.040 --> 01:17:29.560 And that, everybody, is the difference between theory and practice. 01:17:29.560 --> 01:17:35.160 I came up with, I thought, a sensible idea for why this Tachanka ban was so important. 01:17:35.160 --> 01:17:38.040 And Ali brings up a couple, uh, a couple of fair points. 01:17:38.040 --> 01:17:41.880 It is also something they did not ban in their game against Shopify Rebellion a few days ago, 01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:43.800 so this is clearly something VP are worried about. 01:17:46.600 --> 01:17:50.920 So, how, how about, how about, their rebellion also only played at once on their defense. 01:17:50.920 --> 01:17:52.200 I'm worried about it. That's all I'm gonna say. 01:17:52.200 --> 01:17:53.160 And VP won that round. 01:17:53.160 --> 01:17:55.320 Ooh, Nikki. At least we're worried about his feet. 01:17:56.040 --> 01:18:01.040 Blitz was a little bit vulnerable there, especially when you're walking on towards someone takes a little bit of damage 01:18:01.280 --> 01:18:04.840 Is able to chip you down somewhat, but not significantly 01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:10.200 Horrible lineup from Vulcans right now. Goyo kind of does denari trips raise blooms 01:18:10.840 --> 01:18:12.840 You name it 01:18:13.120 --> 01:18:18.440 Oh nice play from Solotov knows it's gonna be the shield backing it up with maybe hoping to get the drone as well there 01:18:18.440 --> 01:18:21.360 But look at the HP on Naked. He's lucky to be standing 01:18:21.360 --> 01:18:25.500 He's lucky to be standing, and he's probably going to run out all things considered. 01:18:25.500 --> 01:18:29.100 Just another impact, and we've seen Virtus.Pro go for this exact same shield play against 01:18:29.100 --> 01:18:33.340 Shopify Rebellion, moving in through old tower, trying to pressure the player inside 01:18:33.340 --> 01:18:34.340 of games. 01:18:34.340 --> 01:18:35.340 I mean, it's a strategy we've seen other teams do. 01:18:35.340 --> 01:18:39.340 It's not unique to Virtus.Pro, but again, with how consistently they've run these shields, 01:18:39.340 --> 01:18:42.020 we're getting well into the 80s now. 01:18:42.020 --> 01:18:45.340 We're getting close to the 80s for how many times Nape has played shields since kickoff 01:18:45.340 --> 01:18:47.180 and this event. 01:18:47.180 --> 01:18:51.740 Getting him to 1 HP is at this point a predictable part of the strategy for Falcons, that maybe 01:18:51.740 --> 01:18:53.620 they can reliably employ. 01:18:53.620 --> 01:18:58.540 Exothermic charge going on one side of the wall, will open up a small gap on the other, 01:18:58.540 --> 01:19:02.940 and since the next one is shot, they're able to open up completely in hard breaching they 01:19:02.940 --> 01:19:03.940 desire. 01:19:03.940 --> 01:19:08.460 And unfortunately it just comes with the cost of a blitz, which is a little important. 01:19:08.460 --> 01:19:11.660 The cost has been sort of paid earlier on with the fact that Nakey was on 1 HP, right? 01:19:11.660 --> 01:19:14.900 They've been able to get the wall open and they can now start to move through and operate 01:19:14.900 --> 01:19:19.780 inside the briefing but Falken's are okay with that pocket reinforcement they're able to battle it 01:19:19.780 --> 01:19:23.540 all off and go yeah okay you've brought your thermite you better be using those exothermics 01:19:23.540 --> 01:19:28.500 because you are going to need them now if you have the faction so Dan should be able to destroy 01:19:28.500 --> 01:19:32.180 these bandit batteries and I don't think that GM is really in a position to do too much about it 01:19:32.180 --> 01:19:37.780 given that he has gotten on the left wall now open but this is very one-sided that's this is a 01:19:37.780 --> 01:19:42.580 serious stack up from VP players and we're gonna need to see a little bit of a rotate off if they're 01:19:42.580 --> 01:19:45.740 They're gonna try and have success because they can't all just walk through that breach 01:19:45.740 --> 01:19:48.900 Yeah, they have to rotate and you would think I have a snake with a soliton scanner 01:19:49.060 --> 01:19:51.580 Should be able to do it or the candelish be enough to disrupt 01:19:51.580 --> 01:19:58.140 But Pasha's just throwing all of them they're struggling to push as the smoke canister lands another impact to seal the bait of a 01:19:58.140 --> 01:20:01.280 Virtus Pro player skies nice trade 01:20:01.780 --> 01:20:03.500 The Falcons have well and good 01:20:03.500 --> 01:20:09.220 Stalled his VP push for basically the entirety of the round all that matters now is winning this one off the kills 01:20:09.220 --> 01:20:14.500 Pasha and Skye's both going big work with one just around the corner Pasha so good with the cover 01:20:15.020 --> 01:20:17.780 Breeding catches him off guard, but absolutely 01:20:18.500 --> 01:20:24.500 Clinical play from VP bringing that round back from the brink in the late round. It turns out. Yeah, all they need to do is just push the breach 01:20:25.780 --> 01:20:26.820 Falcons 01:20:26.820 --> 01:20:33.200 Stacking up for him right there. We had leaky fucking gym and Solotov to a degree all dug quite far back 01:20:33.380 --> 01:20:37.860 Solotov gets his man and then gets traded out fine. No worries. You've already got the kill on snake you 01:20:37.860 --> 01:20:39.860 You can afford to trade that back 01:20:40.620 --> 01:20:47.420 Kill right here takes down down skies immediately swings great pre-fire by the way thinking it would have been prone there 01:20:48.020 --> 01:20:51.000 For me skies through the breach then you made that rotation back 01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:55.820 The logical move would have been to continue to push down that corridor and trying to be trying to be a backstab 01:20:55.820 --> 01:20:58.060 But I don't think that VP had their man count 01:20:58.060 --> 01:21:01.060 They didn't have sufficient pressure coming through that breach from elsewhere 01:21:01.140 --> 01:21:03.500 Pasha getting involved with a couple of kills as well 01:21:03.500 --> 01:21:10.900 but Skye is the man of the round. Three kills for him there to net the first here and already VP looking a lot more 01:21:11.060 --> 01:21:15.020 Comfortable on these attacks able to operate with short time remaining 01:21:15.740 --> 01:21:18.220 Lot more comfortable though all those definitely 01:21:18.580 --> 01:21:22.180 Earning the status of must win fights given how Falcons are able to stall them out 01:21:22.180 --> 01:21:24.820 But you're a good play by Skye's very good play by Pasha 01:21:24.820 --> 01:21:28.980 But also a trend keeping consistent from what we've seen from Falcons over the course of this map 01:21:28.980 --> 01:21:34.340 They're not necessarily the series really able to get the opening pick on Naquo and well obviously it falls by the wayside 01:21:34.460 --> 01:21:36.620 Alley going into this series 01:21:36.620 --> 01:21:40.220 Falcons haven't exactly been the best entry team inside of Salt Lake City 01:21:40.220 --> 01:21:42.420 Which is not at all what you would say about them in EML 01:21:42.540 --> 01:21:48.380 No, I think it's out of kickoff plus 17 on the entry to out of Salt Lake at the top of the top of today 01:21:48.540 --> 01:21:52.260 Now, okay, they've played some shorter games. Yeah, there's only plus four 01:21:53.140 --> 01:21:57.540 So an incomparable amount of maps to tend to eight which by the way is mental 01:21:57.540 --> 01:22:03.940 Especially when you consider how good they were on the entry inside of shall I now okay being plus doesn't necessarily mean that you're 01:22:04.300 --> 01:22:07.160 Having a low-plus number doesn't mean you bad because you might be good in some games 01:22:07.160 --> 01:22:10.460 Then lose a lot of openings in the others, but it's some more balances out 01:22:10.460 --> 01:22:13.620 It's still a low number for the team and the standard that we hold them to 01:22:13.620 --> 01:22:18.020 They've lived up to that standard here today at least on shall I and they have lived up to it on 01:22:18.700 --> 01:22:25.380 Obvious not being able to convert that round, but the openings definitely where Falcons are putting quite a lot of their attention at the moment 01:22:25.380 --> 01:22:27.980 It's a lot more difficult on the defense than it is the attack, 01:22:27.980 --> 01:22:30.580 and I think it was a lot more evident in their attacking rounds, 01:22:30.580 --> 01:22:34.580 but still, with the way that they're not over-aggressive and over-peaking too much here, 01:22:34.580 --> 01:22:35.980 you can understand why it's happening. 01:22:36.780 --> 01:22:40.380 You can also see that if you're able to recover rounds in which they're losing that opening pick, 01:22:40.780 --> 01:22:43.380 they start getting it, denying Falcons it entirely. 01:22:43.380 --> 01:22:45.980 They'll be keeping them in the general trend of Salt Lake City so far, 01:22:45.980 --> 01:22:48.580 which to be fair hasn't guaranteed Falcons' losses, 01:22:48.580 --> 01:22:50.780 but it did put them in the 1-2 yesterday. 01:22:51.380 --> 01:22:54.580 And in the tournament that Falcons have not looked bad, 01:22:54.580 --> 01:22:59.020 They've looked good, but they have looked beatable. They've looked human, which is not something we've always said about Falcons in the past 01:22:59.140 --> 01:23:00.580 We're still trying to 01:23:00.580 --> 01:23:05.860 Reattain that godlike status if that mythical status it felt like they had you that two-year run 01:23:06.540 --> 01:23:08.540 With Shiko on the roster 01:23:08.660 --> 01:23:14.580 Virtus. Pro on fortress looking to try and steal some of that energy for themselves pushing into this very stalwart defense 01:23:14.980 --> 01:23:22.860 Prefire on the corner by Salata, but hitting not one shield but two Blackbeard also being brought by Dan who gets the opening pick nails that Azami 01:23:22.860 --> 01:23:27.420 And Virtus Pro beginning to break with that trend, go Falcons, still with some fight. 01:23:27.420 --> 01:23:29.180 This is the site that we're dealing with. 01:23:29.180 --> 01:23:33.300 VP are knocking on the door, Falcons protecting their home the best they can. 01:23:33.300 --> 01:23:38.020 Two players lining up for the Blackbeard though, as Yuzus next up to challenge the Scar meets 01:23:38.020 --> 01:23:40.340 the same fate as Solotov. 01:23:40.340 --> 01:23:44.940 The duo, technically speaking, the newest entries before Jume onto this roster. 01:23:44.940 --> 01:23:48.940 Falling, and this will make VP in a much better position with this Monty to break through 01:23:48.940 --> 01:23:51.060 the defense with Rorik backstabbing. 01:23:51.060 --> 01:23:53.880 This is an extra dimension we needed to see from Virtus Pro. 01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:59.560 How much impact can one Blackbeard have to still get a 4th as Dan on the board will find 01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:05.560 it not the normal shield player on Virtus Pro but the man in round 2. 01:24:05.560 --> 01:24:09.280 Double shield being taken there from Virtus Pro really doubling down on the ideology that 01:24:09.280 --> 01:24:10.520 has worked quite well for them. 01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:15.840 Let's be honest throughout the course of their recent games. 01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:18.560 Dark picking the headset up in anticipation. 01:24:18.560 --> 01:24:19.560 It was coming. 01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:20.560 I could feel it. 01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:26.000 getting the tingles. Julio not happy with the way the first two rounds have gone. And 01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:29.720 for good reason, this is a night and day difference. It doesn't look like the team that has just 01:24:29.720 --> 01:24:34.080 absolutely smashed VP off the face of the Earth 7-2. This looks like the Falcons that 01:24:34.080 --> 01:24:39.940 we've seen in some of their games that they've done less well in. Now, reasons for that, 01:24:39.940 --> 01:24:42.840 what do we know about VP? We know they like to push together, we know they like to work 01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:46.680 off the back of a shield. Falcons have kind of already made their bed for this game in 01:24:46.680 --> 01:24:51.480 the fact that they didn't ban shields straight off the rip. If they had done that, instead 01:24:51.480 --> 01:24:54.840 of banning the doko be glass, maybe they would be going up against something a little bit 01:24:54.840 --> 01:25:00.480 different now. But, Neku, and in that round, with the addition of, I believe it was Dan, 01:25:00.480 --> 01:25:05.840 on the Blackbeard, all of a sudden you get a lot of push and power. That's fine, as long 01:25:05.840 --> 01:25:06.840 as you don't peek it. 01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:07.840 What happened Ali? 01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:13.120 Well we just saw it there. Users peeked it. And it wasn't the only one. Everybody peeked 01:25:13.120 --> 01:25:18.080 it because everybody felt like they had to. If we're gonna let the shields through, we need more 01:25:18.080 --> 01:25:23.760 of a solid way of dealing with it. And I think you need to be leaning far heavier into that trap 01:25:23.760 --> 01:25:28.480 layout. We're gonna see the elebrot this time, still maybe not as many traps as you potentially 01:25:28.480 --> 01:25:34.000 like. And with Doom on Solace, I don't think that planting really has been the order of the day 01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:38.720 from VP so far. So we'll see where that gets played, but at least for the meantime, it seems like 01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:42.120 like we're a little bit more trap focused, a little bit more stall focused, bring the 01:25:42.120 --> 01:25:46.360 goyos, bring the Ella, stop that shield from just being able to walk you down. 01:25:46.360 --> 01:25:51.600 And with the Ella in particular, while it might only be one trap specific operator, 01:25:51.600 --> 01:25:54.920 we do frequently see people either leave a razor bloom or leave a gershmot in the pocket 01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:59.700 and while Dan is not playing Blackbeard, Neko is playing the Monty, big shock, right? 01:25:59.700 --> 01:26:03.240 And so if you have a similar situation to what we saw last time, obviously it's a different 01:26:03.240 --> 01:26:06.560 site, but if you have a similar situation as to what we saw last time, it'll be helpful 01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:09.320 to have a Gersh Mod or two in pocket that you can chuck at the Monty if they 01:26:09.320 --> 01:26:13.420 on extend and taking 1v1 much much more feasible at that point. 01:26:13.420 --> 01:26:14.920 What about three Gersh Mods in your pocket? 01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:18.920 That would honestly be a probably a little excessive but I'd kind of support it to be honest. 01:26:18.920 --> 01:26:22.920 Especially if you dance, play, and twitch what like six rounds in a row on one map, makes sense. 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:26.420 Pockets are bulging like a school janitor with all the keys kicking around. 01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:31.880 Use this? I'm keeping the key now Matt. I wouldn't know where or I wouldn't know when they placed it. 01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:34.880 I don't think we'll be able to figure out roughly where but... 01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:39.160 Oh, they play. Nope. Not worth it. 01:26:39.160 --> 01:26:41.960 Is he actually keeping all three in pocket? Not worth it. 01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:45.400 He's not going to shoot with the score but he's going to throw him out of him. 01:26:45.400 --> 01:26:48.680 I mean, not a bad strategy, right? If you've got someone 01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:52.680 close to him that can take advantage of this disruption when it happens 01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:55.720 and they can buddy up together, then why not? And it's not like 01:26:55.720 --> 01:26:59.920 VP playing Shield is a bad bet to make. Oh, no. 01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:03.120 Fairly safe. Very safe bet. 01:27:03.120 --> 01:27:07.680 What do you know, Na'Qua pushing from the exact same position we saw the Blackbeard push last time. 01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:12.160 Guess who's set up in this area? The Goyo, the Ella, and hello, the Solas as well. 01:27:12.160 --> 01:27:16.240 Choum sitting on old tower stairs. Very easy pick by Skies, I will say. 01:27:16.240 --> 01:27:19.760 Some of the early round play we've seen from these roamers on Valkyans. 01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:25.400 Not some of the best, certainly not like what we saw, some of the mid-rin late round impact from the roamers on Chalet. 01:27:25.400 --> 01:27:29.440 As a result, Salatop and Yuji is pulling back. I don't think this is a bad idea at all. 01:27:29.440 --> 01:27:32.800 It's still a 4v5. We've seen them, or defense, be able to make that work before. 01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:37.480 Something that VP have been really good at is short time. They're not worried about working under the clock 01:27:37.480 --> 01:27:41.160 They're on business as usual right now. It's half the round and he already picks up two kills 01:27:42.240 --> 01:27:45.260 Who it now? I mean sure one player swinging around the corner 01:27:45.260 --> 01:27:50.780 But Licky fact trying to bail users out of a bad position ends up walking straight in the middle of the entire attack 01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:53.200 Who then separate the rest of the defenders? 01:27:53.760 --> 01:27:55.760 Breeding out one HP 01:27:55.760 --> 01:28:00.200 Fortunately, I think the only thing that might be bugged is this defense because everybody's just sprinting towards the attack 01:28:00.200 --> 01:28:02.560 running into a lot of issues. 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:04.600 3-day, good find on the skies. 01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:08.880 And 3-0, Destin, 4-verus, pro, not even close. 01:28:08.880 --> 01:28:11.560 That being the most dominant round we've seen so far. 01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:14.560 After the timeout, a bit of an alarm bell, really, isn't it? 01:28:17.440 --> 01:28:21.240 You've got to think, after a tactical timeout, 01:28:21.240 --> 01:28:23.040 you should be good for a round. 01:28:23.040 --> 01:28:25.320 And if you're not able to pull one off out of the bag, 01:28:25.320 --> 01:28:28.080 they'd gone different, they'd brought some different stuff, 01:28:28.080 --> 01:28:30.640 that it wasn't an entirely different ideology. 01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:33.280 I still don't understand where we get 01:28:33.280 --> 01:28:35.440 Gene playing Solace on old tower stairs from, 01:28:35.440 --> 01:28:38.440 because that should have been something that was, 01:28:38.440 --> 01:28:40.160 I thought that was what they were not gonna do 01:28:40.160 --> 01:28:41.120 at the end of that time out. 01:28:41.120 --> 01:28:43.000 I thought that was something that they were gonna stop doing, 01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:45.400 was putting themselves in harm way. 01:28:45.400 --> 01:28:47.880 Instead, we just see a continuation of that, 01:28:47.880 --> 01:28:49.480 a continuation of that willingness to be, 01:28:49.480 --> 01:28:50.840 and even more so, it's like, right, 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:52.160 not only are we gonna peak them now, 01:28:52.160 --> 01:28:53.440 we're actually gonna try and lurk on them, 01:28:53.440 --> 01:28:54.720 we're trying to roam on them instead, 01:28:54.720 --> 01:28:58.560 and see if VP are just so direct in what they do. 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:00.120 The Monty is the distraction. 01:29:00.120 --> 01:29:01.280 It's, hey, look over here. 01:29:01.280 --> 01:29:03.840 Monty over here, like, oh, I might turn my back on you. 01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:04.720 You never know. 01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:06.400 And then bang, you get killed by Skyce on the window. 01:29:06.400 --> 01:29:08.600 Also, we've seen one thing from VP's shield play 01:29:08.600 --> 01:29:10.040 so far on Fortress. 01:29:10.040 --> 01:29:12.560 They're not sprinting in with these shields really at all. 01:29:12.560 --> 01:29:15.160 Even whether the Blitz, the Blackbeard, or the Monty. 01:29:15.160 --> 01:29:17.480 Now, Dan on Blackbeard in round two 01:29:17.480 --> 01:29:18.480 is a bit of a particular case 01:29:18.480 --> 01:29:20.200 because he dropped down literally next to the site. 01:29:20.200 --> 01:29:21.040 Like, what's he gonna do? 01:29:21.040 --> 01:29:21.880 Sprint in immediately? 01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:23.280 No, obviously not. 01:29:23.280 --> 01:29:25.320 But every time they drop down old power, 01:29:25.320 --> 01:29:27.160 they've really taken their time with it. 01:29:27.160 --> 01:29:28.800 And basically for each of those shields, 01:29:28.800 --> 01:29:31.840 drone out those stairs and look to the right, 01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:34.240 because it's basically the only position 01:29:34.240 --> 01:29:35.080 you can get shot from. 01:29:35.080 --> 01:29:37.360 If the rotate holes open in a pool, different story. 01:29:37.360 --> 01:29:38.660 You could get shot from the hallway as well. 01:29:38.660 --> 01:29:40.120 So you got three positions to worry about 01:29:40.120 --> 01:29:41.960 for when it was dorms and games. 01:29:41.960 --> 01:29:43.120 But when they're just roaming over there, 01:29:43.120 --> 01:29:44.360 there's no rotate hole, 01:29:44.360 --> 01:29:45.880 and you probably have drones on the other side. 01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:47.560 The staircase is literally the only place 01:29:47.560 --> 01:29:48.840 you can get shot from aside from the door. 01:29:48.840 --> 01:29:50.320 So with a Monty especially, 01:29:50.320 --> 01:29:52.080 it's kind of, it seems kind of obvious 01:29:52.080 --> 01:29:56.260 going to check there. And they're clearing the way. It's exactly like dark said over 01:29:56.260 --> 01:30:00.140 on Shallay. Okay, just because you said it on Shallay doesn't mean it's not applicable 01:30:00.140 --> 01:30:05.460 here for fortress, but they are just clearing the way. Whether it's Thatcher or whether 01:30:05.460 --> 01:30:10.220 it's Twitch, the Shockjohns can move through, they can get rid of the Goyos, they can get 01:30:10.220 --> 01:30:14.100 rid of the Grishmox, they can get rid of all that utility, and if you want to go a little 01:30:14.100 --> 01:30:18.020 bit more electronic with it all, guess what, they bring the Thatcher. And both sides are 01:30:18.020 --> 01:30:22.400 work and everything so far has been around enabling make you to really do 01:30:22.400 --> 01:30:29.440 his job and he still managed to get two kills so you can complain which is not 01:30:29.440 --> 01:30:33.240 something we really saw on shell a I mean we saw you know not a whole lot of 01:30:33.240 --> 01:30:36.860 attacking rounds from vertus pro we only saw three and only in two of them did 01:30:36.860 --> 01:30:41.120 may call play the shields but anything back to bar and games that was a Monty 01:30:41.120 --> 01:30:44.180 attack we saw when they went for a full clear on the opposite side of the map and 01:30:44.180 --> 01:30:47.400 I think Valkyries were obviously ready for it. 01:30:47.400 --> 01:30:49.600 This is where VP are much better. 01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:54.440 I think VP as a team stand a lot better instead when they just have to front up against their 01:30:54.440 --> 01:31:00.400 opponent whereas on a map like Chalet you can kind of chop and change. 01:31:00.400 --> 01:31:03.960 You can cut through the site, you can get a lot of outside to win. 01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:09.120 You can really come from multiple different angles whereas Fortress is far more front 01:31:09.120 --> 01:31:10.120 up. 01:31:10.120 --> 01:31:12.760 It's banging your heads against one another and seeing who comes out on top. 01:31:12.760 --> 01:31:16.440 It's more of a rugby scrum than anything else because it is just a war of attrition and 01:31:16.440 --> 01:31:20.640 it's two sides battling against one another to see who can push the other off the ground 01:31:20.640 --> 01:31:22.520 and gain that advantage. 01:31:22.520 --> 01:31:27.480 It looks like, just to give you all an update, we are awaiting an admin decision. 01:31:27.480 --> 01:31:30.680 So we need to give the admins the most time and everything that they need to be able to 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:33.000 make the best decision for this situation. 01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:41.400 There was a call for a bug, a shield bug from LeakyFact at the end of round three. 01:31:41.400 --> 01:31:44.740 I've seen the issue with Falcon's underperformance. 01:31:44.740 --> 01:31:47.600 Julio has the two maps we aren't playing top up 01:31:47.600 --> 01:31:48.640 on his desk right now. 01:31:49.840 --> 01:31:51.640 That's because he's probably given everybody else 01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:53.640 the map that they are playing. 01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:54.480 Come on. 01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:57.240 You can see Breidae. 01:31:57.240 --> 01:31:58.720 Breidae's got the paper out. 01:31:58.720 --> 01:31:59.560 He's reading. 01:31:59.560 --> 01:32:00.680 Actually, and you know what's crazy? 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:03.240 That actually says Clubhouse on it. 01:32:03.240 --> 01:32:04.560 Julio's given the wrong maps to everybody. 01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:06.600 Now he can't do anything because it's tech pause. 01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:09.200 What's he gonna do? 01:32:09.200 --> 01:32:13.080 Reminder, tech pause is no talking for the players. 01:32:14.720 --> 01:32:15.860 That's what the official is doing, 01:32:15.860 --> 01:32:18.120 making sure that no one's talking. 01:32:18.120 --> 01:32:20.620 There will be an official in each room, of course. 01:32:20.620 --> 01:32:22.520 And just to ensure that the players aren't talking, 01:32:22.520 --> 01:32:25.460 very different to a tactical timeout. 01:32:25.460 --> 01:32:27.380 Technical timeout or a technical pause 01:32:27.380 --> 01:32:29.260 is when we investigate something 01:32:29.260 --> 01:32:31.360 that could have gone wrong, did go wrong, 01:32:31.360 --> 01:32:32.440 we don't know yet. 01:32:32.440 --> 01:32:35.920 Now, to be fair, like tech pause, you can't talk, 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:37.720 tactical timeout, it's the place where you're supposed 01:32:37.720 --> 01:32:42.200 talk. This is not a hard and fast rule for teams. For example, if you watch any of FaZe 01:32:42.200 --> 01:32:45.840 Clan's game, not a lot of talking in those tag timeouts. 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:46.340 No. 01:32:46.340 --> 01:32:51.160 So not something you strictly speaking need to do, but something sometimes seems to take 01:32:51.160 --> 01:32:52.160 advantage of. 01:32:52.160 --> 01:32:54.880 Something that I enjoyed was Jonah's intro today. 01:32:54.880 --> 01:32:55.880 I did enjoy it, didn't I? 01:32:55.880 --> 01:32:58.800 I feel like I want to go and play basketball. I'm sure we must have some more basketball 01:32:58.800 --> 01:33:02.080 footage that we can be rolling in this slightly extended break. 01:33:02.080 --> 01:33:03.080 Let's take a shot. 01:33:03.080 --> 01:33:05.080 Are you ready for the magical? 01:33:05.080 --> 01:33:07.080 This goes out to all my Singaporeans. 01:33:15.080 --> 01:33:16.080 Oh shit! 01:33:20.080 --> 01:33:21.080 No! 01:33:29.080 --> 01:33:30.080 What the hell is this? 01:33:33.080 --> 01:33:56.880 I mean, he's kind of hitting shots is kind of the thing we all know him for so arguably 01:33:56.880 --> 01:33:59.440 ending on the least impressive one that I kind of expected it. 01:33:59.440 --> 01:34:01.920 I think we need to get Jonah tonight because he didn't miss this morning. 01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:06.600 That's true, Jonah actually, probably the craziest R6 basketball record we've ever seen 01:34:06.600 --> 01:34:07.600 this morning. 01:34:07.600 --> 01:34:11.360 I mean, literally hitting a teleporting shot at one point at the end there, some technology 01:34:11.360 --> 01:34:15.440 the U.S. government eagerly seeking to buy his patent for. 01:34:15.440 --> 01:34:18.280 We probably might never see Jonah again after that video this morning. 01:34:18.280 --> 01:34:19.280 I think you might get picked up. 01:34:19.280 --> 01:34:23.040 Do you want to know why they put the Major in Salt Lake City? 01:34:23.040 --> 01:34:27.560 Because he's doing the, he's playing for the Utah Jazz right now, and so they had to work 01:34:27.560 --> 01:34:28.560 around his schedule. 01:34:28.560 --> 01:34:33.360 very busy over at the, I don't know, the Combine's NFL, so I don't know what the basketball 01:34:33.360 --> 01:34:36.080 version is, but he's practicing. He's playing quite hard. 01:34:36.080 --> 01:34:37.080 Oh, he's locked in. 01:34:37.080 --> 01:34:38.080 He's locked in. 01:34:38.080 --> 01:34:39.080 He's wired in. 01:34:39.080 --> 01:34:41.080 Didn't surprise him that Breidae got one in either. 01:34:41.080 --> 01:34:42.080 Honestly, he didn't either. 01:34:42.080 --> 01:34:44.520 Breidae just seems like that kind of guy. 01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:50.960 Thank you. These are all Jonah shots. Honestly, wait, can we just play the whole video and 01:34:50.960 --> 01:34:54.280 Ollie and I give our commentary? No, I don't actually want to do that. I don't want to 01:34:54.280 --> 01:34:55.280 do that. 01:34:55.280 --> 01:35:00.000 We're still in a tech pause. If you couldn't realize by the fact that 01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:04.520 tech pause is still in the top left corner of your screen, we're still hanging out. 01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:07.760 But I do believe we are going to get back into it soon. I've just heard word 01:35:07.760 --> 01:35:12.440 relayed. So that's nice at least. And it does seem as though there were no books 01:35:12.440 --> 01:35:17.280 found. That's good. Which is always a good thing. They teleported into the game 01:35:17.280 --> 01:35:21.560 and we're really scouring over the footage, over the floors, the 01:35:21.560 --> 01:35:25.080 surfaces of round 3, 4, 3, and they couldn't find me. It tends to take a little bit 01:35:25.080 --> 01:35:32.960 Yeah, they have to find the fly swatter and obviously get suited up with enough personal protective equipment so that they can 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:35.360 Go and combat the bugs. Yeah, exactly 01:35:37.080 --> 01:35:40.400 They don't get paid for those kind of messed up because like it is kind of an extra job 01:35:41.360 --> 01:35:45.360 You when you sound if you now I'm in past control isn't really the thing that you think you're gonna get into I 01:35:46.760 --> 01:35:49.000 Really wish could listen to these conversations because I want to know 01:35:49.560 --> 01:35:52.000 Because it was like fire obviously they called it so 01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:59.320 So they're probably going to be pretty convinced that there was something amiss, but figuring 01:35:59.320 --> 01:36:03.560 out the distinction between that is obviously going to take a little bit of time. 01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:08.240 And it's important that everyone feels like it's been a fair process. 01:36:08.240 --> 01:36:12.200 It can't just be a decision that's made in the blink of an eye and go yes or no, because 01:36:12.200 --> 01:36:15.400 it's quite a lot of standing really on that decision, especially when the round has already 01:36:15.400 --> 01:36:16.880 been played through to conclusion. 01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:22.720 It requires deliberation, requires a lot of, and you know, we joked about the old bug scouring earlier, 01:36:22.720 --> 01:36:26.560 like genuinely requires a lot of conversation, genuinely requires a lot of reviewing the footage, 01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:28.400 discussing with the admins, discussing with the teams, 01:36:28.400 --> 01:36:30.000 team discussing with each other. 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:36.320 But it seems like we are back in it, so almost, question mark, hopefully. 01:36:36.320 --> 01:36:40.800 I see some players typing in all chat on my screen, which usually is a good sign, 01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:44.480 and they're not like arguing with each other, which is also a good sign. 01:36:44.480 --> 01:36:47.760 But they're also not all type in English, so we can't really understand what it is that's been said. 01:36:47.760 --> 01:36:49.760 No, but they're all speaking in... 01:36:49.760 --> 01:36:51.760 It didn't look argumentative, did it? 01:36:53.360 --> 01:36:55.760 What? I've just been told by a producer that it's French. 01:36:55.760 --> 01:36:57.120 That's amazing. Thank you. 01:36:57.120 --> 01:37:00.720 I would never have expected that the French players are talking French to one another. 01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:01.600 Fantastic. 01:37:01.600 --> 01:37:02.880 Thank you, Bruno. Appreciate it. 01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:06.080 I understood one word and that was animation. 01:37:06.080 --> 01:37:09.360 But looks like we're going to be headed back into the game very shortly. 01:37:09.360 --> 01:37:10.560 We haven't missed anything. 01:37:10.560 --> 01:37:14.000 It's just been a very long deliberation on who is going to be banned here. 01:37:14.480 --> 01:37:20.360 Can't ban to Chanka because he's of course already been banned at the top of the show 01:37:20.360 --> 01:37:25.160 he needed to get that one out of the way with maybe that's the reason I mean we kind of 01:37:25.160 --> 01:37:29.880 joke a little bit but you think about how good the Chanka would be at blocking off the corridor 01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:33.440 for the shield pushing down if they're trying to get in the right position and they can 01:37:33.440 --> 01:37:38.640 bank it off oh I'm so stupid of course that's why that's that's why it is like it's because 01:37:38.640 --> 01:37:43.840 it's a very specific lineup that VP like to play they love to play the shield Falcons 01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:47.760 chose not to ban the shields away. To Chanke, you can sit in sight and just 01:37:47.760 --> 01:37:53.520 ban come off walls. I'm actually, I mean that part I got but I can't believe I 01:37:53.520 --> 01:37:58.120 was like of course it's the shield. Literally all they do is play shields. 01:37:58.120 --> 01:38:03.040 They do one thing. This guy does one thing, he plays shields and I was like, I 01:38:03.040 --> 01:38:05.760 missed that. He isn't gonna be playing one shield though. He isn't gonna be playing the 01:38:05.760 --> 01:38:10.720 Monty. He actually plays three shields, now only two shields. Yeah. It's not the 01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:13.320 Monty that's the favorite though, is it? It's the Blackbeard. No, it's the Blackbeard 01:38:13.320 --> 01:38:17.760 The Blitz are favorites by a wide margin. I think I gave the number earlier, but I'm pretty sure it is 01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:23.800 You know, I'll just look it up because I'm pretty sure I think it's like what I say was 70 rounds earlier 01:38:23.800 --> 01:38:30.220 I think it was like 60. No, it's 58 rounds going into this series on just black beard and blitz 01:38:30.220 --> 01:38:31.720 And it's only like 11 on Monty 01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:36.960 So it is like clear favorite black beard and blitz is kind of negligible blackbird wins out by like five 01:38:37.400 --> 01:38:39.400 But blackbird and blitz are by far and away 01:38:39.400 --> 01:38:44.540 Neko's two most preferred shield operators. So Monty Ban, I doubt he'll feel all that uncomfortable. 01:38:44.540 --> 01:38:48.060 I don't know if Falcons will feel all that uncomfortable because again, it's a known quantity. 01:38:48.060 --> 01:38:53.080 A quantity that, well known, they've still struggled to deal with and I think VP have done a good job playing around the shield so far. 01:38:53.080 --> 01:38:58.380 It's secured the limited map control they needed to. They positioned the shields very well and also been very thorough. 01:38:58.780 --> 01:39:03.100 Making sure that they don't get tripped up by any tracks, of course, but also specifically any flankers like June. 01:39:03.100 --> 01:39:10.300 Blitz, of course, having a lot more vulnerability here. That's something that Falcons are going 01:39:10.300 --> 01:39:13.520 to try and look to take advantage of. They don't want to go down too many more rounds 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:19.180 here on this defensive phase either. Three clean rounds at the moment for VP. A couple 01:39:19.180 --> 01:39:23.020 of opening picks thrown in there as well, something they did struggle to come by over 01:39:23.020 --> 01:39:28.460 on Chalet. They've definitely got the tools to get opening picks here and now as both 01:39:28.460 --> 01:39:32.620 the GameOS and the Snake are available. It's one of the good things about having a big 01:39:32.620 --> 01:39:36.600 shield player in your team is that you can't leave the way and clear the path to play some 01:39:36.600 --> 01:39:40.880 more of those information based operators. Pasha takes a couple of points of damage there 01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:44.560 and is just going to tap fire his way through until you can see what's going on on those 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:49.440 main stairs and already was starting to see skies rip open this top floor and start to 01:39:49.440 --> 01:39:53.320 work down from above. 01:39:53.320 --> 01:39:58.120 Import and control established by Virtus.pro early on. We've seen the verticality be important 01:39:58.120 --> 01:40:00.200 on this site before. 01:40:00.200 --> 01:40:01.240 Living in a twisted mines game, 01:40:01.240 --> 01:40:03.640 they make particularly good use of the vertical play 01:40:03.640 --> 01:40:07.400 on their fortress game against Furia that you and I casted. 01:40:07.400 --> 01:40:10.440 So for this site, always an excellent thing to have. 01:40:10.440 --> 01:40:12.480 But as you get to the mid and the half blind, 01:40:12.480 --> 01:40:13.960 vertical can only do so much for VP 01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:15.120 who maybe want to get the plant down. 01:40:15.120 --> 01:40:18.200 That could be important for holding out in a post plant. 01:40:18.200 --> 01:40:19.960 But what we really want to see impact from 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:21.120 is sure Neko on the shield, 01:40:21.120 --> 01:40:23.760 but I think Dan on the snake and Pasha on the damage. 01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:25.000 Two players we're going to be looking at 01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:26.520 as we reach this final minute 01:40:26.520 --> 01:40:30.520 for how they can break through any of these defenders in power positions like Breede, for example, 01:40:30.520 --> 01:40:33.720 but also how they can work in tandem with Neko moving in on this Blitz. 01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:36.520 Thorne spotted around the corner, but has some support. 01:40:36.520 --> 01:40:40.820 He's able to retreat through that Rotate Hole, leaving the deployable shield behind in its wake, 01:40:40.820 --> 01:40:43.720 and they're still a little bit away from an execute. 01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:48.120 Again, it's VP doing what they can do good at, and that's fronting up against this defense, 01:40:48.120 --> 01:40:50.120 and just further pushing it back. 01:40:50.120 --> 01:40:53.520 Now, of course, with Skies holding the vertical angles, it makes things a lot easier. 01:40:53.520 --> 01:40:55.920 He's in fact dropped. He's gonna just be outside of the site, 01:40:55.920 --> 01:41:02.420 but a double C4 kill and a hop-up from Breide with the Deagle immediately shifts the tide. 01:41:03.420 --> 01:41:06.920 Suddenly swings it to Falcons way, users still with that C4. 01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:10.420 Probably the big difference maker in round four for Falcons. 01:41:10.420 --> 01:41:12.920 The Pasha has this a zombie nailed down. 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:15.920 Him and Skye's both good for the pinch, but neither with flashbangs. 01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:17.420 Prone beneath the window. 01:41:17.420 --> 01:41:20.920 Does Skye's check this? Just sees the arm, figures it out. 01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:22.920 Triple for the ram so far. 01:41:22.920 --> 01:41:23.920 Ooh, another big frag. 01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:28.620 Is Pasha good for Yuzus? Again the advantage shifts, but Jume has only got five seconds 01:41:28.620 --> 01:41:34.540 It's all he needs just to win on time or to take down Pasha or to catch Skies off guard as a smoke clears looking the wrong way 01:41:34.540 --> 01:41:36.940 Mrs. The initial shot, but hits the one that matters 01:41:37.460 --> 01:41:41.820 Only so much Skies can do with limited information and on time 01:41:42.540 --> 01:41:44.540 Falcons with the first 01:41:44.860 --> 01:41:48.900 Jume making the best decision possible in the heat of the moment there 01:41:48.900 --> 01:41:54.540 misses a couple of shots realizes hey time zero that isn't the planter that 01:41:54.540 --> 01:41:58.020 isn't the person that I need to worry about quick check of the corner and he 01:41:58.020 --> 01:42:01.820 gets the job done a really close round and one that you thought was looking 01:42:01.820 --> 01:42:06.060 quite good at a time for VP they'd gotten so much pressure and control and 01:42:06.060 --> 01:42:11.940 then out of nowhere a double C4 kill that is always gonna really swing things 01:42:11.940 --> 01:42:16.740 let's take a look at that C4 kill really quick I was wondering whether I was 01:42:16.740 --> 01:42:27.740 I was wondering why the shield had gone above, because I was like, if you see a double C4 kill, it's always usually placed on the floor, and there's just two attackers stacked upon it, and I didn't realize it just landed it directly in the middle of two players. 01:42:27.740 --> 01:42:32.740 And also directly in the middle and directly behind the shield, really great timing by users there. 01:42:32.740 --> 01:42:43.740 Not always something you can predict where the players obviously are stationed, but once you hear the shield, it's always going to be a bit of a gamble, and this time it pays off big for Falcons, and pays off big for users. 01:42:43.740 --> 01:42:54.240 Going back to command now, we have seen quite a few times over this half already, the Falcons with that new burst of momentum making a 3v5 comeback in round 4. 01:42:54.240 --> 01:43:07.740 We'll try to build off of that. K2 Baral as their strategy. The gunfights have not worked, generally speaking, beyond that last round, and so now we are fully committing to the utility, not only bringing the K2, but a Mira as well. 01:43:07.740 --> 01:43:11.140 A lot of C4s, that's always going to be a big factor. 01:43:11.140 --> 01:43:15.740 At some point we're maybe going to have to do something about DMRs and C4s as a combination. 01:43:15.740 --> 01:43:21.340 It might just be a little bit too deadly, because at the minute you can play one of the better guns in the game on defense, 01:43:21.340 --> 01:43:26.740 and you've got the C4s, and you get 3 Zotocanisters for a few starts to get Deimos tracked, or... 01:43:26.740 --> 01:43:30.140 You know, there's so many little different interactions that you can get away with with that, so... 01:43:30.140 --> 01:43:33.540 It's also going to be taking advantage of that whilst they can. 01:43:33.540 --> 01:43:38.020 One on four at the moment, lead to fact, zero on four, so like you say, even June, only one on three, 01:43:38.020 --> 01:43:41.940 is only killed so far, but it's been an important one because it basically won his team the round. 01:43:42.900 --> 01:43:46.740 Important one, but another C4 prepped. Once Dan lets this go, let's see where he's gonna 01:43:46.740 --> 01:43:52.980 fly upstairs, sends out his feed. There is nowhere. Dan can run. Xenom shoots C4 recently. 01:43:53.700 --> 01:43:57.860 What was that about June? Not being a great performer on the defense so far on Fort Trace? 01:43:57.860 --> 01:44:02.660 It was true up until about 10 seconds ago. Second-year utility and the primary. 01:44:03.540 --> 01:44:08.540 That's a 5v3 for Falcons, the best start to a round they've had this entire map. 01:44:08.540 --> 01:44:11.140 Now surely we know that Jume is still there. 01:44:11.140 --> 01:44:15.340 Nake you and Skies, they have to make it a goal to try and deal with him here, 01:44:15.340 --> 01:44:17.940 but Yuzus already providing a little bit of support. 01:44:17.940 --> 01:44:22.740 He's got the wall open right next to him and he's just going to make crossing that Rubicon a little bit more difficult. 01:44:22.740 --> 01:44:25.240 Jume, he's never going to be stopped, Linkz. 01:44:25.240 --> 01:44:29.740 Takes Nake you down shield or not, and it looks like he's lining up for the next. 01:44:29.740 --> 01:44:35.040 Flashbang might try to go out to take down the unkillable Kade inside of tower. 01:44:35.040 --> 01:44:39.040 Pasha's got the shotgun to do it, but he still dies to the revolver! 01:44:39.040 --> 01:44:41.740 Thinking the Kade full committed to the drop. 01:44:41.740 --> 01:44:47.840 Four kills for Jume going from one and three to five and three, and it's another for Falcons. 01:44:47.840 --> 01:44:51.340 Jume's got a taste of the scoreboard at the end of round four and thought, 01:44:51.340 --> 01:44:55.640 you know what, I'm going back for seconds. I like how that feels. 01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:59.640 Four kills in the round. Just finding so much space. 01:44:59.640 --> 01:45:06.060 Not even dropping the hatch, just keeping himself on the edge of the hatch and like, tucking into the wall to find that final kill. 01:45:06.780 --> 01:45:07.780 Very impressive stuff. 01:45:07.780 --> 01:45:11.820 Falcons as well, doing a good job of rallying around him, users to highlight it in the moment. 01:45:11.820 --> 01:45:16.920 He was able to, you know, the wall was opened up, I don't think it was used to have opened it, but somebody was able to make that rotation 01:45:16.920 --> 01:45:19.060 and just give him a little bit more space to work in. 01:45:19.060 --> 01:45:28.340 That first C4, the angle on that brilliant, just to make sure it exited the wall a little bit, so it kind of followed the attacker really all the way out of that door up there. 01:45:28.340 --> 01:45:33.060 You always fancy that 6-12 at close range, but you're never gonna kill anyone looking at your feet 01:45:33.060 --> 01:45:35.060 I think he was anticipating the hatch had already been dropped 01:45:35.060 --> 01:45:41.900 But June with the double bluff holding his ground there and pretty much single-handedly winning the round up from one position 01:45:42.580 --> 01:45:49.100 We've it's also defenders. I think like very lukewarmly offering support like we've got one guy sitting in a rotate hole like yeah 01:45:49.100 --> 01:45:51.100 If you want like you want help to come back 01:45:51.540 --> 01:45:55.620 I'll give you a hand, but I think you generally got this under control. It's confidence isn't it? 01:45:55.620 --> 01:45:59.320 You know we don't need to try and save Jim here because through saving him 01:45:59.320 --> 01:46:04.340 We might actually lose the round we recognize what he's got and we kind of support him through getting a little bit more if he 01:46:04.340 --> 01:46:08.000 Can but if he dies at this point jobs done we just hold off our job 01:46:08.000 --> 01:46:13.400 It's a cave at a minute and a half with all of his utility placed in the C4 already with a kill like literally 01:46:13.400 --> 01:46:15.400 He's already paid. He's already paid 01:46:15.400 --> 01:46:21.320 It was all just extra at that point Falcons with faith in one of their well one of but absolutely 01:46:21.320 --> 01:46:28.520 V-Star player that people are looking at on Falcons and the newest entry still generally speaking hot off a second-place finish at the 6th 01:46:28.520 --> 01:46:30.520 Invitational 2026 01:46:31.320 --> 01:46:36.920 Definitely on that run on teams equid the player that everybody was looking at as we look to what uh 01:46:37.320 --> 01:46:41.160 Virtus. Pro might find in this round. How about some of yokai's still one in 01:46:41.720 --> 01:46:45.960 Breeday's pocket, but finding some very important utility early on for this attack 01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:50.080 If you want to go for the Diffuse Plant, it'll be very, very nice. 01:46:50.080 --> 01:46:52.280 You don't have to worry about that second Yokai. 01:46:52.280 --> 01:46:53.280 Two shields again though, Ollie. 01:46:53.280 --> 01:46:57.640 The only question is will Vortis Pro try to do the same attack with this quantity of shields? 01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:00.360 There's a danger that they do. 01:47:00.360 --> 01:47:02.360 We've got a bit less to deal with the shields this time. 01:47:02.360 --> 01:47:06.080 More information has been brought, not only an Echo, but also a Valkyrie. 01:47:06.080 --> 01:47:11.600 Again, a heavy preference on the C4s, which we once again see three brought. 01:47:11.600 --> 01:47:15.120 Some thorough drone work from Dan though, is going to discover a little Razor Bloom at 01:47:15.120 --> 01:47:16.560 at the top of old tower stairs. 01:47:16.560 --> 01:47:18.440 So it's off still with one in pocket though. 01:47:18.440 --> 01:47:21.520 We can look to try and replace it at a later point 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:22.920 or even put it somewhere else. 01:47:22.920 --> 01:47:25.960 Skies, there'll be a busy bee this round 01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:26.960 on that shock drone. 01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:29.480 That is, if it survives, it's taken out there. 01:47:29.480 --> 01:47:32.480 Its cameras continue to be flipped right now by Breede. 01:47:32.480 --> 01:47:34.560 Doing his best to try and gather information. 01:47:34.560 --> 01:47:37.520 Whereas we've seen players actively sort of attacking 01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:39.200 and actively swinging these angles, 01:47:39.200 --> 01:47:40.960 now we'll let the information do the work. 01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:43.680 And all of a sudden, Falcons can just dig back a little bit. 01:47:43.680 --> 01:47:47.020 talked about potentially while I was gonna say stunning that shield with a 01:47:47.020 --> 01:47:50.600 gershmot this time it seems the strategies the yokai if Neko tries to 01:47:50.600 --> 01:47:54.480 push hit him with the yokai stun but why don't just hit him with 2c4s instead 01:47:54.480 --> 01:47:58.660 just do chip damage enough until you get a hundred percent Dan was so 01:47:58.660 --> 01:48:03.620 successful on this attacking with last time 4k for him on the blackbeard you 01:48:03.620 --> 01:48:07.440 get the first kill for Virtus Pro this time but how different it is it's only 01:48:07.440 --> 01:48:12.240 one for VP it only comes with 45 seconds remaining it arrives when Falcons 01:48:12.240 --> 01:48:18.560 reach a 4-2 scoreline and he's the second to last to fall. These vertical angles and these C4s, 01:48:18.560 --> 01:48:22.080 a 1-2 punch that knocked VP to the ground. 01:48:22.080 --> 01:48:26.800 You look like rats running underneath your floor, weren't you? And there was just murder holes everywhere 01:48:26.800 --> 01:48:33.680 for users, leaky-fack, whoever it might be to have a do-through. I really rate the use of C4s there. 01:48:33.680 --> 01:48:35.440 Let's have a listen to what's in our studio. 01:48:35.440 --> 01:48:37.440 I was trying to sing in murder for the first time. 01:48:37.440 --> 01:48:45.200 Ok guys, just in general I'm gonna speak, I think they banned clash on the map and you're 01:48:45.200 --> 01:48:48.760 gonna do a lot of, you're gonna do a lot of shit play so just remind us ok, if they 01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:51.840 should play, bring something for the clash, cause they love to shit. 01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:52.840 Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. 01:48:52.840 --> 01:48:58.800 Do you think if you are, if you are playing as fast, it's good to get them or not? 01:48:58.800 --> 01:49:02.720 Um, yeah it can be good, also they hate playing glass so in my opinion if they don't ban 01:49:02.720 --> 01:49:06.360 glass, Jun to play glass, like you play like you, you know when you do tip or clear and 01:49:06.360 --> 01:49:11.000 When you bring the last BNBD, and you can smoke the meeting and swing the bathroom and stuff, 01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:13.000 you should do this kind of stuff. 01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:16.000 I think this is a policy against direct as well, no? 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:19.000 They are not that bad to win this, but we can try as well. 01:49:19.000 --> 01:49:21.400 But some sites, for example, we have a platform on that site, you don't need to go direct, 01:49:21.400 --> 01:49:23.800 but for me like the other one, I feel like direct is easy, because it's coughing like 01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:26.800 pressure is springing down and it leaves early, etc. 01:49:26.800 --> 01:49:27.800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:49:27.800 --> 01:49:30.800 We don't need directs, we don't need directs, we don't need directs. 01:49:30.800 --> 01:49:32.800 Yeah, I agree, I agree. 01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:34.800 On meeting, on meeting. 01:49:34.800 --> 01:49:39.200 after that is naked after the demos so we don't have to play much at all after that right so we 01:49:39.200 --> 01:49:43.040 just play on warden I don't know if they're gonna do different things like for the other one in that 01:49:43.040 --> 01:49:49.040 case we for sure we can do demos open all the game and we ban different after that but like we 01:49:49.040 --> 01:49:54.080 said before don't choke for glass or ingi because ingi is shit and the glass we have smoke tashaka 01:49:54.080 --> 01:49:58.240 c4s right it's not about just that warden for me warden here not gonna be like important 01:49:58.240 --> 01:50:05.240 Okay, I miss that guys, the rest is like a screens, don't have much expression. 01:50:05.240 --> 01:50:09.240 We're gonna buy a snake first, because like we say, a snake can make crazy shithounds, right? 01:50:09.240 --> 01:50:11.240 Demons know, demons is kind of a monster. 01:50:11.240 --> 01:50:13.240 If we hide Castle, what do I do on Castle? 01:50:13.240 --> 01:50:18.240 I think for me, you put one in blue, for Nikita, and a one exit, two in pocket. 01:50:18.240 --> 01:50:22.240 If they break exit, you go and put again, because normally it's roof guy, you know? 01:50:22.240 --> 01:50:25.240 So you can use a crucifix to find a hunter there, I don't care. 01:50:25.240 --> 01:50:29.040 but two in pockets in there, just like a renew somewhere, you know? 01:50:29.040 --> 01:50:30.640 I think that's cool. Let's go. 01:50:30.640 --> 01:50:33.040 What do we do first, Poshamina? 01:50:35.040 --> 01:50:37.740 One of the interesting differences between these two timeouts that we just saw, 01:50:37.740 --> 01:50:41.040 one, generally speaking, very player-led on the side of Falcons. 01:50:41.040 --> 01:50:43.240 A lot of calming between Licky, Fac and Salatov, 01:50:43.240 --> 01:50:45.740 and then of course with Juma users chiming in every now and then. 01:50:45.740 --> 01:50:49.240 But on VP, I mean, and this is pretty consistent with the VP timeouts I think we've seen, Ali. 01:50:49.240 --> 01:50:53.240 Dark, definitely the strong leader calling pretty much everything in these timeouts. 01:50:53.240 --> 01:51:08.240 It definitely feels like it's, I don't want to say his way or the highway, but when asked a question, he's like, either I don't mind or no, you do this, keep two in pocket, you know, play Castle here, if you destroy it, you know, replace one, like, it's very prescribed, it's very step by step. 01:51:08.240 --> 01:51:13.040 Julio does a lot of top-level stuff and will remind people of bands or preferences or 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:15.040 overall play styles 01:51:15.040 --> 01:51:18.720 But in that time out and differently to the shall I won it was so tough 01:51:18.720 --> 01:51:22.600 But was having a lot to say and really you know sort of fronting up against leaky back in some ways 01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:26.240 It's not in no sort of beef way, but just like I think this you know 01:51:26.240 --> 01:51:28.240 And I've got my own opinion on that and exchange of ideas 01:51:28.240 --> 01:51:29.200 Yeah 01:51:29.200 --> 01:51:32.440 Yeah, and definitely I think to your point as well like the trend seems to be like 01:51:32.680 --> 01:51:34.160 Julio gets some high-level stuff 01:51:34.160 --> 01:51:40.000 Licky fact jumps in and then at that point it just kind of devolves and all the players begin jumping in just two different ideologies 01:51:40.000 --> 01:51:46.040 Both valid ways of playing the game, but definitely different examples that we've seen and going into these attacks also one operator 01:51:46.040 --> 01:51:48.040 We heard mentioned the glass was talked about 01:51:48.520 --> 01:51:52.480 Falcons mentioning that VP don't seem to like the glass that it might be good to bring 01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:57.160 Do you might be good to be able to swing in if they go for some direct takes or if they don't want to go for some direct takes? 01:51:57.400 --> 01:52:03.240 VP basically the first thing we hear when we go to them is now we don't care about the glass warden who who cares we've got 01:52:03.240 --> 01:52:07.720 We've got smokes, we've got chonkas, we've got thorns, we've got all these different things we can use to counter. 01:52:07.720 --> 01:52:11.880 Warden not really that big of a deal. So clearly of course Falcons confident in their glass pick for VP. 01:52:11.880 --> 01:52:14.680 Also confident that if it's broad then they can counter it. 01:52:14.680 --> 01:52:20.040 Yeah, which is really nice because we're going to get to see either who was right or who's better in the heat of the moment. 01:52:20.040 --> 01:52:25.080 And I kind of fancy June on glass right now, especially with some of the shots that he's been hitting today. 01:52:25.080 --> 01:52:29.320 He's going to be wasting no time as he starts to get some of these exterior walls open. 01:52:29.320 --> 01:52:37.040 You can really just cut through a lot of that sight, a lot of those corridors in and around. 01:52:37.040 --> 01:52:38.840 Very much a little bit of no-man's on right there. 01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:42.520 It can be very important to get that open and just restrict some of the flow from these 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:43.520 defenders. 01:52:43.520 --> 01:52:45.440 Softball's now going to open by Leak Fak as well. 01:52:45.440 --> 01:52:47.240 The Retaro Drone's putting in a lot of work. 01:52:47.240 --> 01:52:49.960 This is very atypical of a Falcons approach. 01:52:49.960 --> 01:52:55.920 They tend to like to set the landscape a little bit more than VP do, whereas VP likes barreling 01:52:55.920 --> 01:52:56.920 off the back of a shield. 01:52:56.920 --> 01:52:58.560 Falcons will bring a shield as well, of course. 01:52:58.560 --> 01:53:01.560 We've got Breda playing on the Blitz, but they'll like to do a little bit more setup. 01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:07.560 The shield also feels a bit more like it's just a part of a broader lineup rather than the point of a lineup. 01:53:07.560 --> 01:53:14.560 Like Breda will play it and usually will get a decent amount of focus as a shield often will, but it is not like that's their thing. 01:53:14.560 --> 01:53:17.560 It's not like that is truly what they're basing the whole round on. 01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:20.560 Really here it's the combination of the Blitz and the Glass and all likelihood. 01:53:20.560 --> 01:53:23.560 Not the Ace is dead, but that classic DMR of his. 01:53:23.560 --> 01:53:29.560 Brought it on Chalet, bringing it here, finds Yuzu's at just about the halfway point. 01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:32.560 With a mirror window as well, and some Zakebas. 01:53:32.560 --> 01:53:37.560 Burdus Pro investing a lot of resources into this position for Dan to succeed. 01:53:37.560 --> 01:53:40.560 Got some information on the shield, not really revealing his position. 01:53:40.560 --> 01:53:43.560 I have a feeling Falcon's already decently aware of it. 01:53:43.560 --> 01:53:47.560 We'll see the Flores cross. There's three whole attackers on this side of the map. 01:53:47.560 --> 01:53:50.560 Now the Blitz begins to push, Flores trying to catch the Aruni. 01:53:50.560 --> 01:53:55.560 The one happened instead Dan just barely making it out joining the rest of the defense and as we hit the minute mark 01:53:55.560 --> 01:53:59.080 Falcons without a kill Danderman a really good job of slipping himself out there 01:53:59.080 --> 01:54:00.460 It looked like he should have been dead 01:54:00.460 --> 01:54:04.200 I think if Falcons had been a little bit more aggressive they couldn't potentially cut him off there 01:54:04.400 --> 01:54:08.320 Especially with the blitz but skies was just there for a little bit of support and Falcons 01:54:08.320 --> 01:54:12.200 Obviously feeling like they didn't need to fully send after that probably in parties 01:54:12.200 --> 01:54:13.360 The fact they've already lost users 01:54:13.360 --> 01:54:18.320 You don't want to lose another a load of bees get sent in now and that will give a bit of information over to Lord 01:54:18.320 --> 01:54:19.320 Solotov here. 01:54:19.320 --> 01:54:22.360 Oh, low-in-piction over to Solotov and some confidence as well. 01:54:22.360 --> 01:54:26.700 We've seen some great Grim plays from this player over the years, just a couple of years 01:54:26.700 --> 01:54:30.300 since that massive bailiff play in Manchester. 01:54:30.300 --> 01:54:35.020 Might need something out of him this round as Jume, the glass player we saw, clearly not 01:54:35.020 --> 01:54:37.540 a problem whatsoever for Virtus.Pro. 01:54:37.540 --> 01:54:40.420 It's three days causing more issues, just him and Solotov. 01:54:40.420 --> 01:54:43.540 To win this 2v4, 2v3 is where it is on the ground. 01:54:43.540 --> 01:54:45.140 It might be 2v2 if he catches Nato. 01:54:45.140 --> 01:54:48.780 quickly, but know the D-Eagle so powerful in the hands of the Azami. 01:54:48.780 --> 01:54:52.680 And Albrey Day, what does a shield do in a 1v3 like that? 01:54:52.680 --> 01:54:56.020 Your back's going to be turned to somebody and at that point it's pretty much done. 01:54:56.020 --> 01:54:59.260 Virtus Pro, a much needed round after losing three in a row. 01:54:59.260 --> 01:55:02.180 Again, VP, what do they do well at? 01:55:02.180 --> 01:55:04.500 They do well at setting out a stall. 01:55:04.500 --> 01:55:10.620 Azami, Mirror, really being able to dig in quite deep to some of those power positions. 01:55:10.620 --> 01:55:17.720 I think Falcons have brought a good lineup, but it just didn't have enough losing that users was obviously a big problem 01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:21.740 And then after that there was nothing really to deal with the mirror windows and not bringing a nice 01:55:22.740 --> 01:55:26.820 Nothing that they can just sort of immediately shoot and bang the mirror windows bomb 01:55:26.820 --> 01:55:28.340 You have to get up close to it now 01:55:28.340 --> 01:55:32.900 You could say that that's maybe blitz's job and you could say that blitz needs to run up aggressively and make that happen 01:55:32.900 --> 01:55:38.420 But it's not always as easy as that is it there's always somebody playing in and around and it's not a risk that you can always take 01:55:38.420 --> 01:55:44.000 So Dan is definitely going to be leveraging this mirror at full as long as possible here as a very high chance 01:55:44.000 --> 01:55:45.860 It will get banned out a little bit later 01:55:45.860 --> 01:55:49.740 I still yet to see the castle playing post that was being discussed as well by 01:55:50.180 --> 01:55:52.960 Two-pattern and dark during the halftime show 01:55:52.960 --> 01:55:56.380 And I can't wait to see that one when it eventually arrived again 01:55:56.380 --> 01:56:03.220 It leans into that same sort of ideology of big architect ops that are really looking to try and shape the sights and the way that it's playing 01:56:03.220 --> 01:56:08.300 As you can see, Dan hiding that mirror, just creeping out with 13 seconds left, both his 01:56:08.300 --> 01:56:09.300 black mirrors in pocket. 01:56:09.300 --> 01:56:17.100 I said I'm watching the west side of the map, over towards this long corridor that Nekor 01:56:17.100 --> 01:56:19.500 is currently moving in and about. 01:56:19.500 --> 01:56:25.140 And again, just look at all of this stall, the inverted scroll hat, smoke and goya, mirror, 01:56:25.140 --> 01:56:26.140 clash, thorn. 01:56:26.140 --> 01:56:31.340 Basically, through every way you could possibly imagine stalling or causing issues for an 01:56:31.340 --> 01:56:35.340 attack that would cost time is present for this Virtus Pro lineup. 01:56:35.340 --> 01:56:39.980 On the flip side for Valkans, no blitz, but we are keeping that glass, so part of Valkan 01:56:39.980 --> 01:56:43.260 strategy remaining consistent, instead of going with the Ying Glass, which also got 01:56:43.260 --> 01:56:46.940 a shout out from Dark, and they also didn't seem all that worried about it. 01:56:46.940 --> 01:56:47.940 No. 01:56:47.940 --> 01:56:53.260 It wasn't a very polite way that was used, but it wasn't an endearable. 01:56:53.260 --> 01:56:56.020 I disagree, I think the Ying could be fantastic. 01:56:56.020 --> 01:57:00.940 However, if you consistently lose an opening pick, are we really going to see the full 01:57:00.940 --> 01:57:04.060 breath of the operator. I don't know. 01:57:04.060 --> 01:57:08.620 Doom down on the glass. So of course still got the ying but vinging glass as a combination 01:57:08.620 --> 01:57:12.620 is very disruptive and it's often something that works quite well together. It's nice 01:57:12.620 --> 01:57:14.780 little marriage as it were. 01:57:14.780 --> 01:57:18.320 Use this and try and get rid of some of that barbed wire but you're just going to get 01:57:18.320 --> 01:57:23.780 batted away there as the tarot drone caught out before it goes into its bulletproof stage. 01:57:23.780 --> 01:57:27.820 Leaky fact, trying to now use the ying to take a little bit of map control doesn't 01:57:27.820 --> 01:57:31.420 Someone gets swung off the back of anyone swinging with that clash 01:57:31.420 --> 01:57:35.580 and instead he's going to dump all of his utility just in the sense to stay alive here. 01:57:36.900 --> 01:57:41.100 It's a desperate attempt by LickyFack. I mean, one that works, but he was throwing Candela as a ghost. 01:57:41.100 --> 01:57:45.620 That clash stopped maybe Naquo from planting the shield and taking the fight with him, 01:57:45.620 --> 01:57:51.900 but that's the rest of the Candela's use for what we know as really nobody who was going to swing around that doorway. 01:57:51.900 --> 01:57:54.920 Falcons as well, going back to that opening pick from Jume. 01:57:54.920 --> 01:57:58.520 Virtus.Pro 5-3 on the opening pick so far on Fortress. 01:57:58.520 --> 01:58:01.680 A return to the trend of Salt Lake City for Falcons. 01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:05.080 Not struggling on the entry engagement and that they're losing them all the time, 01:58:05.080 --> 01:58:09.240 but not the strong entry team that we saw inside of EML, and it continues. 01:58:09.240 --> 01:58:11.760 Ying had already used all of her utility. 01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:13.640 We'll put that in the glass taken down. 01:58:13.640 --> 01:58:17.280 It feels like the heart has been taken out of both of these Falcons' attacks. 01:58:17.280 --> 01:58:20.120 Yeah, they don't really have that bite left now, do they? 01:58:20.120 --> 01:58:24.660 We've lost the big impact operator in the ying and the glass, and we just left to try and win gunfights. 01:58:24.660 --> 01:58:29.540 And gunfights haven't been something that have been coming so easily to Falken's here on this attacking phase. 01:58:30.260 --> 01:58:35.800 In part, that's due to the fact that there's a clash often just bearing down and swapping a lot of information between the team. 01:58:35.800 --> 01:58:39.040 Still a toxic babe canister here, and it just feels like a lockout. 01:58:39.040 --> 01:58:43.640 It just feels like VP are gonna keep them at bay, UZUS will push, D, move around the clash. 01:58:43.640 --> 01:58:49.980 Oh, even pre-fires at the right level, but Rorik hopped it up, will take down UZUS with the shotgun, and it's not the Breeday 1BX. 01:58:49.980 --> 01:58:54.720 And it's another one he's going to lose two rounds in a row now for Virtus Pro five to three on their pick. 01:58:54.720 --> 01:58:57.220 It's not done yet, but it's getting close. 01:58:57.220 --> 01:59:01.280 Falcons need to wake up. They've already used their tactical timeout. We've had the halftime show. 01:59:01.980 --> 01:59:04.520 There really is nowhere left to turn right now. 01:59:05.020 --> 01:59:10.420 Are they going to continue along this track of glass and really making something happen? 01:59:10.420 --> 01:59:12.020 We haven't seen the value out of it. 01:59:12.620 --> 01:59:13.860 VP quite rightly. 01:59:14.120 --> 01:59:15.460 Not worried about the Ying either. 01:59:15.780 --> 01:59:16.560 None of it. 01:59:16.960 --> 01:59:18.060 Causing them any trouble. 01:59:18.060 --> 01:59:26.060 It seems like this clash is the biggest problem right now, for Falcons, and it's a problem that isn't being played in Round 9. 01:59:29.060 --> 01:59:35.060 It's the stall though, broadly though, to your point. The stall, that's the big issue. The clash was one way that we just did it, but it's been a consistent factor. 01:59:35.060 --> 01:59:44.060 It's different this time, isn't it? We're now into that castle territory. We're dark, we're talking about leaving a couple of castles in your pocket and replacing them as we go along the course of the round. 01:59:44.060 --> 01:59:50.200 And again that mirror both of which have been huge players thrown as army in there for the times that you don't bring the clash either 01:59:50.300 --> 01:59:54.120 Potentially and you're always gonna have some sort of stall and some sort of problem 01:59:54.120 --> 01:59:58.960 So I see where those castles are going now and what the true intention is behind this 02:00:01.160 --> 02:00:06.960 Fortunately falcons or use at least is bringing sledge so those castles shouldn't be too much of a problem 02:00:06.960 --> 02:00:22.960 We all set at the beginning of the round, a little bit different than when Dark had potentially envisioned as keeping a couple in pocket, but I think still I was going to complain about putting all your cast barricades in valuable positions. 02:00:22.960 --> 02:00:27.960 Jume? Bringing in the Dokavi as he's done, generally over the course of this tournament. 02:00:28.960 --> 02:00:38.960 Not necessarily the only operator he plays, Jume quite a flexible player, but again, taking this role in place of users who used to play it back when Shai-ku was on the roster. 02:00:40.960 --> 02:00:46.960 Just trying to find some lurks and any kind of gaps he can find in the VPD fans, which Falcons have not really found. 02:00:46.960 --> 02:00:50.240 We've talked about the stall a couple times now, it's been present around 7 and 8, but 02:00:50.240 --> 02:00:53.720 the way it's manifested both times has been an opening picks that have either happened 02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:57.280 generally at the halfway point of the round, or if they've occurred early, have then resulted 02:00:57.280 --> 02:00:58.780 in VP retreating. 02:00:58.780 --> 02:01:01.920 Round 7, they split at a halfway point, and then VP fall back. 02:01:01.920 --> 02:01:05.640 Round 8 happens in the first minute, and then VP immediately fall back and play around each 02:01:05.640 --> 02:01:06.640 other. 02:01:06.640 --> 02:01:07.640 They are not looking to take these fights. 02:01:07.640 --> 02:01:10.400 They are not looking to play aggressive, so they're going to sit behind their utility 02:01:10.400 --> 02:01:12.400 and make Falcons come to them. 02:01:12.400 --> 02:01:15.880 And Falcons know this, they're bringing a really heavy lineup to deal with a lot of 02:01:15.880 --> 02:01:16.880 that utility. 02:01:16.880 --> 02:01:21.100 We've got secondary hard breach on leaky fact nades, we've got selmas on breed day, plenty 02:01:21.100 --> 02:01:25.200 of utility soft destruction for users and then the twitch to round things out on a little 02:01:25.200 --> 02:01:26.200 bit more doom. 02:01:26.200 --> 02:01:29.400 Play whatever you like, get him on a dog pee, he just needs to be getting a couple of kills 02:01:29.400 --> 02:01:33.120 on the entry, it's a big part of Shallow and so far the entry has been a battle that only 02:01:33.120 --> 02:01:36.160 Virtus Pro have won on this map of fortress. 02:01:36.160 --> 02:01:40.600 I think Falcon's got the first one but besides from that it's been very one sided indeed. 02:01:40.600 --> 02:01:43.120 Mirror window will be popped so we can hear that happen. 02:01:43.120 --> 02:01:46.120 Pasha, not gonna be playing around it at the moment, 02:01:46.120 --> 02:01:48.120 so you can see some good information being gathered there, 02:01:48.120 --> 02:01:50.120 but again, trying to go for one of those openings, 02:01:50.120 --> 02:01:52.120 and no one's there for the trade. 02:01:52.120 --> 02:01:54.120 Not Pasha just again playing his position, 02:01:54.120 --> 02:01:57.120 winning not only one, but the next as well. 02:01:57.120 --> 02:02:02.120 Such a high-powered defensive fragger for VP 7 and 3 on Fortress. 02:02:02.120 --> 02:02:06.120 It seems VP will continue their march to map points. 02:02:06.120 --> 02:02:09.120 Skies as well, 13 and 6. 02:02:09.120 --> 02:02:14.120 Six, a standout player on this roster in Salt Lake City. 02:02:14.880 --> 02:02:18.640 And LickyFack, gotta make a name for himself in round nine. 02:02:18.640 --> 02:02:21.120 And I think unfortunately that one might just be lost 02:02:21.120 --> 02:02:24.480 to history, double stacked inside of NIRS 02:02:24.480 --> 02:02:26.540 and Skies instead from behind. 02:02:26.540 --> 02:02:28.600 Not only with his third kill of that round, 02:02:28.600 --> 02:02:32.560 but VP's third round on defense on map point. 02:02:32.560 --> 02:02:35.340 VP have been fantastic on defense so far. 02:02:35.340 --> 02:02:41.500 If you look back to the game that they played against SR, they were only good for two attacks, 02:02:41.500 --> 02:02:46.880 so they've improved from there because they came out of here with three attacks. 02:02:46.880 --> 02:02:49.660 Flipping onto the defense side, it wasn't really the defenses where they found a lot 02:02:49.660 --> 02:02:50.660 of problems. 02:02:50.660 --> 02:02:52.500 They were able to get an even 3-3-1 there as well. 02:02:52.500 --> 02:02:57.860 So having already put in that hard work today on this attacking side, it makes sense. 02:02:57.860 --> 02:03:00.700 Very surprised to see the glass band of all things. 02:03:00.700 --> 02:03:02.740 That's had zero impact so far. 02:03:02.740 --> 02:03:05.820 Well, one, yes, you're entirely correct. 02:03:05.820 --> 02:03:10.100 But it is one of those things where you're up 6-3, you've won three defenses in a row, 02:03:10.100 --> 02:03:14.420 you're thinking to yourself, okay, do we have an op, we feel super strong about banning 02:03:14.420 --> 02:03:15.420 because it makes us uncomfortable. 02:03:15.420 --> 02:03:16.420 I don't think they care. 02:03:16.420 --> 02:03:17.420 Exactly. 02:03:17.420 --> 02:03:18.420 I honestly don't think they care. 02:03:18.420 --> 02:03:19.420 I think the first row, do not care. 02:03:19.420 --> 02:03:22.760 They would happily just play the rest of the game without another ban, just old-school, 02:03:22.760 --> 02:03:25.300 because what's it going to give them? 02:03:25.300 --> 02:03:26.300 They've dealt with everything. 02:03:26.300 --> 02:03:30.300 You could give Falcons the key and the secret right now, and I'm not sure that they'd come 02:03:30.300 --> 02:03:31.300 away with a round. 02:03:31.300 --> 02:03:37.120 Moving away from the glass when they attack the first floor side could be possible that if glass were unbanned that 02:03:37.420 --> 02:03:42.340 Bring the glass if they retried both dorms and command, but of course 02:03:42.780 --> 02:03:45.520 Let's see the glass has been banned by Virtus Pro 02:03:45.620 --> 02:03:49.540 Just gonna continue to disrupt Falcons plan a little bit. You want to keep them on their toes 02:03:49.540 --> 02:03:55.220 They're already taking two minutes and you know two minutes two minutes fifteen seconds with all the tools on the table that 02:03:55.580 --> 02:03:58.460 Generally speaking they can work with right snake in a Monty 02:03:58.460 --> 02:04:01.820 Those are two of the most banned operators at Salt Lake City. 02:04:01.820 --> 02:04:06.820 It's going to disrupt the Falcons, but I don't know if they're really going to freak out about it. 02:04:06.820 --> 02:04:14.020 But even after that, when you start having those issues, a glass is just one small thing to just make it a little bit nicer. 02:04:14.020 --> 02:04:19.620 Fortunately, we'll have a brief tech pause, transition into, I believe, a bit more prolonged tech pause. 02:04:19.620 --> 02:04:26.620 Not for any potential bug abuse reasons, just a little bit of a sound bug that seems to be difficult to kick. 02:04:28.460 --> 02:04:32.140 Hopefully we can get all the players back into the lobby and underway very shortly. 02:04:33.580 --> 02:04:36.300 At least Fortress seems like it might blink by. 02:04:37.580 --> 02:04:43.660 Seven-three is looking like a pretty realistic scoreline. If VP win this, both teams will have 02:04:43.660 --> 02:04:48.220 won their own maps very convincingly, which is the best of three. That's kind of how these 02:04:48.220 --> 02:04:52.060 things were expected to go when your own map and when the decider. Make sure that you're leaving 02:04:52.060 --> 02:04:55.500 something open for the decider that you want to play and that you've got a good chance on, 02:04:55.500 --> 02:04:59.500 because otherwise you are going to find yourself a little bit out of luck. 02:05:00.500 --> 02:05:05.500 Falcons, not a formidable force here on fortress today just yet. 02:05:06.500 --> 02:05:08.500 The VP, really going through the motions. 02:05:08.500 --> 02:05:10.500 Great recovery as well when you think about it. 02:05:10.500 --> 02:05:15.500 Losing 7-2 on Chalet to then be able to come out and give a performance like this. 02:05:15.500 --> 02:05:19.500 Just shows how confident they are in themselves and how much belief they have in the system. 02:05:19.500 --> 02:05:21.500 We joke about them banging their head against it a little bit, 02:05:21.500 --> 02:05:23.500 but there is so much where that's going to work. 02:05:23.500 --> 02:05:25.420 And this seems like it might be one of those cases. 02:05:25.420 --> 02:05:26.840 Of course, we did mention on Chalet 02:05:26.840 --> 02:05:29.140 that VP have a tendency so far in Salt Lake City 02:05:29.140 --> 02:05:31.020 to start out very hot in their games 02:05:31.020 --> 02:05:32.940 and then cool off a little bit, whether it's the map, 02:05:32.940 --> 02:05:35.520 whether it's the series, one three rounds in a row, 02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:38.380 lost three rounds, one three rounds in a row now. 02:05:38.380 --> 02:05:40.820 It's hardly possible that we now see a side rotation that 02:05:40.820 --> 02:05:42.380 goes completely the way of Falcons. 02:05:42.380 --> 02:05:44.700 I think both Ali and I, we acknowledge its possibility. 02:05:44.700 --> 02:05:47.860 I don't know how confident we are in it happening. 02:05:47.860 --> 02:05:50.340 Because we've seen, I think, VP do the same thing, 02:05:50.340 --> 02:05:52.860 but from multiple different starting places, right? 02:05:52.860 --> 02:05:55.560 It wasn't always Castle, it was a zombie in some cases. 02:05:55.560 --> 02:05:57.720 A zombie in Mirra, in other cases it was Mirra and Clash, 02:05:57.720 --> 02:05:59.660 in other cases it was Castle in the game. 02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:02.800 In some cases it's a rehost with a sound bug 02:06:02.800 --> 02:06:05.880 that we just cannot seem to beat. 02:06:08.280 --> 02:06:10.440 It's not Nemesis at the moment, isn't it? 02:06:10.440 --> 02:06:13.520 I think it was a rehost for VP's side, 02:06:13.520 --> 02:06:16.200 and then it was a rehost then just called by Falcons. 02:06:16.200 --> 02:06:19.520 Holly, I'm starting to get flashbacks. 02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:20.560 Oh no, no, no. 02:06:20.560 --> 02:06:21.400 I'm starting to get. 02:06:21.400 --> 02:06:23.400 We're too far into the series for flashbacks. 02:06:23.400 --> 02:06:25.400 I'm starting to get flashbacks. 02:06:25.400 --> 02:06:27.400 I am back in my room, 02:06:27.400 --> 02:06:29.400 and Bino is missing. 02:06:29.400 --> 02:06:31.400 We cannot find him. 02:06:31.400 --> 02:06:33.400 He's gone, and we cannot 02:06:33.400 --> 02:06:34.400 find Bino. 02:06:34.400 --> 02:06:37.400 Look, there's no way that we're able to lose a player here. 02:06:37.400 --> 02:06:39.400 We've got him all under lock and key. 02:06:39.400 --> 02:06:41.400 Can you imagine, Breida just gets up 02:06:41.400 --> 02:06:43.400 and walks out of the room. 02:06:43.400 --> 02:06:45.400 They're all in the same hotel. 02:06:45.400 --> 02:06:47.400 Actually, Jim's got a track suit on. He might go moving. 02:06:47.400 --> 02:06:49.400 Go for a run. 02:06:49.400 --> 02:06:52.840 interesting. Jim's the only one who wears the track suit on this team. I'm not 02:06:52.840 --> 02:06:57.200 surprised you've been outside. It is nice out. It's a million degrees. That is also 02:06:57.200 --> 02:06:59.480 true. It is a million degrees. It's only been a million degrees the past couple days 02:06:59.480 --> 02:07:02.720 ago. It is actually, for those who are not here, but for those who will be here 02:07:02.720 --> 02:07:06.320 hopefully in a couple days for Salt Lake City, it was beautiful weather the first 02:07:06.320 --> 02:07:10.880 days we got here and it is still very nice weather. It's quite hot. Even a little 02:07:10.880 --> 02:07:14.480 humid for the desert which is a little uncomfortable, but it should be back to 02:07:14.480 --> 02:07:19.640 pick like picturesque perfect weather for the live portion so hopefully you all 02:07:19.640 --> 02:07:23.360 will hopefully you all enjoy it hopefully it does not get it to 90 02:07:23.360 --> 02:07:27.920 degrees humid because that'd be bad it was it wasn't too humid yesterday but it 02:07:27.920 --> 02:07:31.680 was like 90 odd degrees it was been muggy a couple days ago too yeah it's been 02:07:31.680 --> 02:07:34.400 nicer I've enjoyed the weather anyone that's coming make sure you very sunny 02:07:34.400 --> 02:07:37.960 stay hydrated bring you some screen bring you some glasses as well and a hat 02:07:37.960 --> 02:07:42.800 that's always good I don't know I don't wear hats that's great for the sun 02:07:42.800 --> 02:07:45.040 It keeps the sun off your face, keeps you cool. 02:07:45.040 --> 02:07:46.040 I grow hair for that. 02:07:46.040 --> 02:07:50.960 You can do that as well, that is an option. 02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:53.520 It's my secret. 02:07:53.520 --> 02:07:59.600 Well, it's not my secret, they're not here. 02:07:59.600 --> 02:08:00.840 Looks like we are starting the game again. 02:08:00.840 --> 02:08:02.720 Thank you so much for bearing with us during this tech pause. 02:08:02.720 --> 02:08:07.280 It seems like we've been a little bit unfortunate so far with Falcons and Virtus Pro, but we 02:08:07.280 --> 02:08:10.600 are back underway in the break in this instance. 02:08:10.600 --> 02:08:12.600 Maybe she gave us Falcons a little bit. 02:08:12.600 --> 02:08:18.000 mentioned how VP can run a little bit hot and cold sometimes. Three rounds on 02:08:18.000 --> 02:08:23.800 the bounce for each of the teams in the series so far. Maybe just maybe it's time 02:08:23.800 --> 02:08:27.480 for a bit of a Falcons comeback. It'll be a late comeback but any three rounds 02:08:27.480 --> 02:08:32.940 to take this to an overtime. Time a chance at closing this series out at a 2-0 02:08:32.940 --> 02:08:39.280 scoreline. Just a reminder, the bands that came through, Glass and the Warden. So it is 02:08:39.280 --> 02:08:44.680 is forcing Falcons into something different, which again, might be a good thing for them, 02:08:44.680 --> 02:08:48.360 because what they have been doing so far, it hasn't been working, Lynx. 02:08:48.360 --> 02:08:52.240 It's not been working. It is plain and simple, not been working. 02:08:52.240 --> 02:08:57.240 It really could just kind of end there, because what else are you going to do? What else can 02:08:57.240 --> 02:09:00.440 you say about, you know, the two-round glass, the multiple attempts, you tried it with the 02:09:00.440 --> 02:09:03.720 blitz, you tried it with the ink. MVP who said they were ready for it and weren't worried 02:09:03.720 --> 02:09:08.320 about it, were clearly justified in that opinion. Though the ironic thing is, they were like, 02:09:08.320 --> 02:09:11.220 We're not worried about the glass, we have smoke, we've got Goyle, we've got all these things. 02:09:11.220 --> 02:09:16.060 Both times the glasses just died as either the first or the second pick in the rounds he was brought. 02:09:16.060 --> 02:09:21.120 So they literally just killed him with a gun rather than actually using any of the utility dimension. 02:09:21.820 --> 02:09:27.120 There have been four survivors in two of the rounds that VP have won so far on this defense, and three in the other. 02:09:27.120 --> 02:09:33.320 It has just been a kill problem. It is a mathematical problem at the moment that Falcons cannot seem to overcome. 02:09:33.320 --> 02:09:35.120 They cannot buy a kill. 02:09:35.120 --> 02:09:38.880 Never mind a kill on the entry, where we've seen them do quite well. 02:09:38.880 --> 02:09:43.620 Solotov moving quickly on the Blitz, looking to take some serious space right now, 02:09:43.620 --> 02:09:45.460 as Jume takes a ton of damage. 02:09:45.460 --> 02:09:48.280 Taking a lot of space, Jume eating most of that utility, 02:09:48.280 --> 02:09:50.680 just running ahead of the Razorbloom, running ahead of the Smoke, 02:09:50.680 --> 02:09:52.780 but now he's a bit separate from the rest of the team. 02:09:52.780 --> 02:09:55.080 Breidae and Jume, ideally like to support him, 02:09:55.080 --> 02:09:58.280 but Jume, well, that's not happening, exhibit A right here. 02:09:58.280 --> 02:10:00.640 Breidae as well, can't really hop in this building. 02:10:00.640 --> 02:10:03.580 There's a player sitting right on it, super shorty in hand. 02:10:04.220 --> 02:10:07.220 So Salatav is quite alone right now. 02:10:07.220 --> 02:10:10.220 Can't really die, because Breda is cutting off part of the angle. 02:10:10.620 --> 02:10:14.320 And these, of course, Salatav looking towards the other. 02:10:14.680 --> 02:10:19.220 This initial play to get quick control isn't really working out. 02:10:19.220 --> 02:10:23.920 Salatav now on one HP, him and Jume, one HP. 02:10:23.920 --> 02:10:27.920 Naeqo now also joining the Barely Alive Club on Fortress. 02:10:27.920 --> 02:10:32.880 and saw top licky fact the first two members of cam duty in round 10. 02:10:32.880 --> 02:10:36.060 Joom, he's been on one each piece at the beginning of the round, 02:10:36.060 --> 02:10:40.580 quickly facing a disproportionate load from the rest of his team. 02:10:40.580 --> 02:10:44.600 Falcons have tried, I wouldn't say everything, but they have tried, 02:10:44.600 --> 02:10:48.920 and tried, and tried, and tried, 02:10:48.920 --> 02:10:52.780 and every single time through all four of these attacks, 02:10:52.780 --> 02:10:57.020 it simply has not worked. 02:10:57.020 --> 02:11:03.220 Skies 15 and 6 can't get 16 as you Zeus in a 1v4 now 02:11:04.460 --> 02:11:09.740 Looking to take every fight he can get his hands on no candelas 02:11:09.820 --> 02:11:17.620 No smokes no nothing beyond an LMG and a pistol and I've lost count of how many times this castle barricades been punched 02:11:18.220 --> 02:11:20.220 This is the last one 02:11:21.140 --> 02:11:23.140 Does not seem like this one's happening 02:11:24.260 --> 02:11:26.260 Maybe now 02:11:27.020 --> 02:11:32.860 There we go. 7-3 for Virtus.Pro on their own pick. A prolonged ending to Fortress, 02:11:32.860 --> 02:11:38.140 but one that, once we got a couple rounds into VP's defenses, seemed like a foregone conclusion. 02:11:38.140 --> 02:11:42.580 I'll be honest, Lynx, when I saw the map for this series, I said the age-old, 02:11:42.580 --> 02:11:46.380 since I said a few times before, you win your own map, you win the decider. 02:11:46.380 --> 02:11:51.020 Fortress, not a great map for Falcons, shall I? Not a great map for VP. 02:11:51.020 --> 02:11:54.140 Who's gonna be better on Lair? Stay tuned. We'll be back. 02:11:57.020 --> 02:11:59.020 I 02:17:57.020 --> 02:17:59.020 I 02:18:27.020 --> 02:18:56.020 Now we have a fun one, Ali. We have Lair coming up as the sider. And last time these two teams faced, it was a good one. 02:18:56.020 --> 02:19:04.140 We've seen some fairly one-sided maps so far obviously for VP. I think there was only breeding that had anywhere near a hundred EPS 02:19:04.180 --> 02:19:06.260 We have a look at some of these scores. Bear in mind 02:19:06.260 --> 02:19:13.500 We had some star like standout performances from players like June and of course leaky-fack over on chalet 02:19:13.500 --> 02:19:17.420 And they just didn't exist 40% cost for June. Hey and June 02:19:17.420 --> 02:19:23.780 He got a big 4k in one round and unfortunately beyond that similar to the rest of Falcons 02:19:23.780 --> 02:19:29.980 It was very sporadic performances. Maybe licky-fack here or there, that June 4k, breeday the only consistent player. 02:19:30.180 --> 02:19:38.020 Meanwhile over on the side of VP, it generally speaking was pretty consistent. Sure in the kills, Skye's breaking away clear with 14 and 6. 02:19:38.100 --> 02:19:41.260 But in terms of impact, while Skye's might have been getting a lot of kills, 02:19:41.260 --> 02:19:46.580 it does feel like everyone was putting in some kind of effort. Dan maybe having a 4k and 1 round, but everyone definitely contributing. 02:19:46.580 --> 02:19:51.060 I don't think you could look at anybody on the side of that VP roster for that game of fortress and 02:19:51.060 --> 02:19:54.500 and say that they didn't perform or did not do their job. 02:19:54.500 --> 02:19:58.820 It was 7-3, well-oiled machine, everybody working together. 02:19:58.820 --> 02:20:01.700 I mean, Nekyo at 60% cost is criminal, by the way, 02:20:01.700 --> 02:20:04.980 for the value that he was having on the shields, on that attacking phase. 02:20:04.980 --> 02:20:08.580 It's just unfortunate that it isn't something that we can necessarily measure too well. 02:20:08.580 --> 02:20:10.020 It's a little bit subjective. 02:20:10.020 --> 02:20:12.740 Something that isn't subjective, though, is our next map, 02:20:12.740 --> 02:20:14.260 and that is going to be there. 02:20:14.260 --> 02:20:17.140 The last time that these two teams played this map, 02:20:17.140 --> 02:20:19.300 it was for qualification to this. 02:20:19.300 --> 02:20:27.300 It was inside of kickoff for you. Well, and surprise, surprise VP came out on top 02:20:27.300 --> 02:20:34.020 Not only in lab but also in that series. It was a 2-0. So it's gonna be a different result here regardless of which way it falls 02:20:34.900 --> 02:20:39.660 Looks like you guys at home can't decide either a 50 50 split straight down the middle 02:20:39.660 --> 02:20:45.180 We don't always get one of those but it just goes to show how well supported both of these two teams are 02:20:45.580 --> 02:20:48.500 Heading into layer. It really is anybody's 02:20:49.300 --> 02:20:51.700 And when you have one team winning 7-2 on their own pick, 02:20:51.700 --> 02:20:54.640 the other winning 7-3 on their pick, 50-50 does make sense. 02:20:54.640 --> 02:20:58.080 No clear favorite emerging as we go into Lair. 02:20:58.580 --> 02:21:00.440 And kickoff was a long time ago. 02:21:00.440 --> 02:21:02.440 Some teams have learned that lesson the hard way. 02:21:02.440 --> 02:21:05.280 Fury in one example, leading the SAL, 02:21:05.580 --> 02:21:07.980 and also leading Salt Lake City in the exits. 02:21:07.980 --> 02:21:09.980 Just because regional performance is there 02:21:09.980 --> 02:21:12.080 does not mean you're guaranteed to make it. 02:21:12.320 --> 02:21:14.320 And that is all true for these two teams. 02:21:14.320 --> 02:21:15.820 One will make it, one will go home. 02:21:15.820 --> 02:21:18.320 It will be decided at the end of Lair. 02:21:18.320 --> 02:21:22.900 We just have to play a few rounds to see what that looks like bands coming through 02:21:23.080 --> 02:21:28.180 Monty and banded out the gate Cade one of the most banned defenders at this event and I have to imagine 02:21:29.320 --> 02:21:31.320 They'll follow up with that here 02:21:31.800 --> 02:21:33.360 Monty Day must 02:21:33.360 --> 02:21:35.360 being taken away there 02:21:35.560 --> 02:21:39.560 Obviously we can reference the game that these two had because it's fairly recent 02:21:39.560 --> 02:21:42.920 It's gonna be very applicable for what we are watching here and now 02:21:42.920 --> 02:21:50.600 Now, getting rid of that Monty against Virtus Pro, oh surprise surprise, Nakey is just going 02:21:50.600 --> 02:21:54.160 to flex onto his other most played shield operators. 02:21:54.160 --> 02:21:59.240 Blackmede will be coming out here for round number one, of course VP is starting off on 02:21:59.240 --> 02:22:02.120 the attack. 02:22:02.120 --> 02:22:06.840 Previously when we saw this match uptake place, they were good for four rounds on that attacking 02:22:06.840 --> 02:22:07.840 side. 02:22:07.840 --> 02:22:13.840 So I'm expecting VP to have a pretty good idea of what they want to achieve right now. 02:22:13.840 --> 02:22:17.840 We've spoken already of VP's strengths in attacks. 02:22:17.840 --> 02:22:22.840 They're often very good when you can just front up directly. 02:22:22.840 --> 02:22:24.840 And that's what Lair is a lot of the time. 02:22:24.840 --> 02:22:28.840 A lot of the time for Lair, we are dealing with just walking into Waps room, 02:22:28.840 --> 02:22:32.840 fronting up to players on Mezzanine, and there's that war of attrition, right? 02:22:32.840 --> 02:22:39.520 They've got an incredible resilience for that consistent pound pound pound of trying to make their way through an angle 02:22:39.520 --> 02:22:42.460 I'm really trying to force their way in I imagine it is like 02:22:43.040 --> 02:22:48.520 Opening the door getting a crowbar and jamming it into the side and then just leveraging it open ever so slightly 02:22:48.520 --> 02:22:52.040 And with every pump of that lever you get it a little bit further open 02:22:52.040 --> 02:22:57.040 That's how VP's attacks kind of sort of transpire a lot of the time and on the flip side 02:22:57.040 --> 02:23:00.960 You think of the Falcons attacks and they're often everywhere and nowhere at the same time 02:23:00.960 --> 02:23:05.480 And they will really try and encircle you and cut you off and have someone playing cut off somewhere 02:23:05.480 --> 02:23:11.120 And it's a lot more techie fortress for me. Sorry layer for me the same as fortress 02:23:11.640 --> 02:23:17.220 Can be one of those maps where you can go a little bit more direct and you can just force a little bit more of the problem 02:23:17.800 --> 02:23:21.420 So it makes sense that last time we saw these two teams face off against one another 02:23:21.920 --> 02:23:23.920 VP came out on top 02:23:24.200 --> 02:23:26.200 particularly on that attack 02:23:26.200 --> 02:23:32.700 But then, of course, that means there's tape now, and there is an ability to counter-prep it. 02:23:32.700 --> 02:23:39.700 Falcons and VP are both going to have had a reasonably good idea as to what the maps should be moving into it. 02:23:39.700 --> 02:23:46.700 They're never really going into these situations blind, especially when they play each other week out inside of EUL. 02:23:46.700 --> 02:23:51.700 No, when you get that regional experience, you're always going to have a degree of familiarity. 02:23:51.700 --> 02:23:56.500 We've seen these amount of inter-regional matchups in the, really, honestly, in a lot 02:23:56.500 --> 02:23:57.500 of the promotion games. 02:23:57.500 --> 02:23:59.000 We had what, G2, Twisted Minds. 02:23:59.000 --> 02:24:00.500 We had G2, Virtus. 02:24:00.500 --> 02:24:01.500 Pro yesterday. 02:24:01.500 --> 02:24:02.500 We got Falcons, Virtus. 02:24:02.500 --> 02:24:03.500 Pro today. 02:24:03.500 --> 02:24:04.500 We had Furia, NIP yesterday. 02:24:04.500 --> 02:24:09.980 A couple days ago, excuse me, two days ago, in fact. 02:24:09.980 --> 02:24:14.700 And then, of course, we had NA, NA yesterday with DZ wild card. 02:24:14.700 --> 02:24:18.180 Now we have five Fears wild card latest day. 02:24:18.180 --> 02:24:22.860 And of course, Enterprise Webo, right after this game, which right after this map. 02:24:22.860 --> 02:24:24.580 Again, this is layer map number three. 02:24:24.580 --> 02:24:25.900 We do have another tech pause. 02:24:25.900 --> 02:24:29.540 We are all very excited that these things happen. 02:24:29.540 --> 02:24:34.660 And as we continue, one thing I'm intrigued to see, we saw, obviously saw Neko pick the 02:24:34.660 --> 02:24:39.260 shield in round one, and it is going to be a part of this Virtus.Pro attack at this point. 02:24:39.260 --> 02:24:41.460 It's just going to be a given. 02:24:41.460 --> 02:24:45.700 Win or lose this game, make it further in the tournament or not. 02:24:45.700 --> 02:24:49.700 It's going to be a big part of their identity, going to a point where there's something Falcons 02:24:49.700 --> 02:24:52.100 will very much be ready for. 02:24:52.100 --> 02:24:53.820 How is it going to look on Lair? 02:24:53.820 --> 02:24:57.620 You mentioned, of course, our six-room misposition, which they might just push straight into the 02:24:57.620 --> 02:24:59.420 defensive setup, another position. 02:24:59.420 --> 02:25:01.620 See Falcons roaming on basement? 02:25:01.620 --> 02:25:07.060 Say, going for some kind of extension could push straight into the setup inside of, say, 02:25:07.060 --> 02:25:12.220 arsenal or armory maintenance, those kinds of areas Virtus.pro might just push directly 02:25:12.220 --> 02:25:14.260 into by the same token. 02:25:14.260 --> 02:25:20.760 We have had two players over the course of this series, or at least two players in this lobby for Falcons, who are inclined to go for some roams. 02:25:20.760 --> 02:25:24.760 One of them was Jume on the Solus, and that did not really work on Fortress. 02:25:24.760 --> 02:25:29.760 There's one other player on this roster who loves, loves some Solus. 02:25:29.760 --> 02:25:35.260 That is Licky Fack, who will bring her in the first round on this defense of R6 room. 02:25:35.260 --> 02:25:37.260 Jume instead, bring the Azami. 02:25:37.260 --> 02:25:42.760 I'm trying to play some power positions, but Licky Fack, he'll be the Romer that Virtus.Pro need to concern themselves with. 02:25:42.760 --> 02:25:48.560 Bit of a different line up as well from what we used to see in when Falcons play this map, 02:25:48.560 --> 02:25:50.760 especially defending this top floor. 02:25:50.760 --> 02:25:56.200 They like to bring a clash of Goyo, they like to bring us a Chanka, all of which are available. 02:25:56.200 --> 02:26:01.080 The breaching is going to be very straightforward for this first 6 rounds, VP opting to give 02:26:01.080 --> 02:26:09.600 themselves the easier time of things, choosing to deal with static utility rather than spending 02:26:09.600 --> 02:26:15.280 their time getting batteries or electrification off the wall. It really is a, it's kind of 02:26:15.280 --> 02:26:18.680 a point where you really fall on one side or another really. Or you can fall in the 02:26:18.680 --> 02:26:24.240 middle. You don't have to be so decided that you've made your mind up for. I think it's 02:26:24.240 --> 02:26:27.920 becoming a bit more of a trend that seems to give themselves a slightly easier time 02:26:27.920 --> 02:26:31.840 getting the breach open so they can just be more adaptable, more flexible to deal with 02:26:31.840 --> 02:26:36.480 everything else. Pasha, he's going to be setting himself up a drone on yellow. He's 02:26:36.480 --> 02:26:39.840 playing on the snake. He has a great opportunity to go down below and make 02:26:39.840 --> 02:26:44.280 things happen. Not quite as good as Deimos, who is of course banding this round. 02:26:44.280 --> 02:26:47.960 You would expect the Deimos to be a player that would go below and whilst 02:26:47.960 --> 02:26:53.240 Pasha can feel a similar role on the snake, it isn't a one-for-one trade. 02:26:53.240 --> 02:26:57.500 Now Pasha will give you a bit more of the lurking, right? Send himself, send 02:26:57.500 --> 02:27:00.180 into a location, try and get some information where you haven't otherwise 02:27:00.180 --> 02:27:07.180 The Damos tries to target one particular player, for example, in a Damos. 02:27:07.180 --> 02:27:10.740 Maybe he would send a deathmark tracker out to find Licky Fack and hunt him down as he 02:27:10.740 --> 02:27:11.740 forces around. 02:27:11.740 --> 02:27:15.500 It is much simpler for Warwick to be on a drone, holding an angle, then Licky Fack takes 02:27:15.500 --> 02:27:17.100 the fight and loses it. 02:27:17.100 --> 02:27:22.060 No utility expended, nothing really lost by Virtus Pro in getting that kill, and the follow-up 02:27:22.060 --> 02:27:27.380 is Joom tries to either retreat into or peek out of R6's room. 02:27:27.380 --> 02:27:29.420 Well, he unfortunately loses his life as well. 02:27:29.420 --> 02:27:33.180 two of the most powerful operators on Falcon's defense. 02:27:33.180 --> 02:27:35.580 Dealt with, but Solotov still has something to say. 02:27:35.580 --> 02:27:40.460 Very quick peek on disguise lands the headshot on a Dan as well. 02:27:40.460 --> 02:27:43.820 The Thor with this Uzi, a menace against Virtus Pro, 02:27:43.820 --> 02:27:48.140 who has single-handedly saved Falcon's chances in round one. 02:27:48.140 --> 02:27:52.140 Now users looks to try and channel some of that same energy 02:27:52.140 --> 02:27:55.500 against a two-man stack pushing up rocket stairs. 02:27:55.500 --> 02:27:58.300 Smoke canisters supporting him to keep this attack at bay. 02:27:58.300 --> 02:28:02.300 Grimby's going out in turn, but a Virtus Pro for the moment stalled out. 02:28:02.300 --> 02:28:07.300 Yuzus repositioned, kept himself alive there, didn't overcommit. 02:28:07.300 --> 02:28:10.300 Back himself up a little bit along with Solotov. Breeday. 02:28:10.300 --> 02:28:18.300 Gonna be on that smoke. Just making himself a little bit of a rotation here to give it a slight option for later. 02:28:18.300 --> 02:28:24.300 One toxic babe canistery. Pick your doorway at this point, but Nakey already looking to take this space. 02:28:24.300 --> 02:28:28.800 Nothing really stopping him from pushing in right now, it's only guns that he needs to be concerned with. 02:28:31.300 --> 02:28:34.100 Especially with the shotgun right around the corner, it's going to be a big problem. 02:28:34.100 --> 02:28:37.600 Whether for the Blackbeard or for the Grim, whoever decides to take this fight, 02:28:37.600 --> 02:28:44.100 they're going to have to deal with this close M59, user's low HPs in the perfect position to compensate that with this gun. 02:28:44.100 --> 02:28:48.100 They quote now again, looking towards the single door and office. 02:28:48.100 --> 02:28:52.600 Going back and forth, trying to decide which way should they go. 02:28:52.600 --> 02:28:54.720 We'll creep in, put the diffuser down. 02:28:54.720 --> 02:28:57.760 That last toxic canister has been used and with no C4s, 02:28:57.760 --> 02:29:00.760 there's no utility coming in to stop this diffused plant. 02:29:00.760 --> 02:29:03.720 Pasha gets both lined up perfectly for that F2 02:29:03.720 --> 02:29:05.800 and uses the next to fall. 02:29:05.800 --> 02:29:08.360 Secondary and primary, good for the snake. 02:29:08.360 --> 02:29:10.880 And Virtus Pro get there first. 02:29:10.880 --> 02:29:14.440 So it's going to be the difficulty when you've got something as powerful as a black beard there 02:29:14.440 --> 02:29:16.640 and no utility to fall back on. 02:29:16.640 --> 02:29:18.920 No C4, one toxic babe canister. 02:29:18.920 --> 02:29:22.400 I mean, that's going to be good for covering one angle. 02:29:22.400 --> 02:29:26.600 But there's nothing stopping a player from just balling through and running straight past. 02:29:28.000 --> 02:29:30.400 You can kind of ignore the toxic babe kind of to a point. 02:29:34.300 --> 02:29:37.600 Bit of a missed opportunity, it seems, from Falcons. 02:29:38.200 --> 02:29:39.700 3 vs 3, time low. 02:29:41.500 --> 02:29:44.000 A lot of people swinging where they maybe didn't need to. 02:29:45.000 --> 02:29:48.300 You could argue that was a swing you didn't need to make and so I came out on top, but 02:29:48.500 --> 02:29:51.200 at the end of the day, both just challenging onto that door. 02:29:51.200 --> 02:29:55.200 As soon as you've already let the Blackbeard cross, you've lost the round. 02:29:55.200 --> 02:29:59.200 And again, with that minimal you told me a whole lot of options. 02:29:59.200 --> 02:30:04.200 I'm almost curious, are we going to see it to Chonka next time they attempt R6 just to give themselves a little bit something extra? 02:30:04.200 --> 02:30:11.200 You have to, don't you guys? It makes so much sense to bring it. It was a winning formula for them previously when they played this map against this team. 02:30:11.200 --> 02:30:18.200 Of course, you could have countered, maybe Veef you got to be ready for it, but it's a Chonka insight. 02:30:18.200 --> 02:30:26.800 It's one of the few things in the game that just does no zero-cour. 02:30:26.800 --> 02:30:27.800 It's like, what are you going to do? 02:30:27.800 --> 02:30:28.800 Like, Russia? 02:30:28.800 --> 02:30:29.800 You could. 02:30:29.800 --> 02:30:30.800 You could try. 02:30:30.800 --> 02:30:31.800 We haven't seen that work. 02:30:31.800 --> 02:30:33.300 But like, consistently, it's unclear. 02:30:33.300 --> 02:30:37.320 We'll have to see when Falcons inevitably try to attempt that second floor again, as 02:30:37.320 --> 02:30:41.760 one of the primary bomb sites, they will need, or well, probably should make another attempt 02:30:41.760 --> 02:30:45.800 at some point, or try basement as their next site. 02:30:45.800 --> 02:30:51.800 Jume picking up the Solas. Didn't see a lot of success from him on this operator on Fortress. 02:30:51.800 --> 02:30:57.800 If he wants to play fast and loose on this defense, maybe a good time to try and limit test. 02:30:57.800 --> 02:31:01.800 It's just unfortunate that it's Dokbe and Snake that he's going up against. 02:31:01.800 --> 02:31:06.800 Two operators that are absolutely perfect to find a roam or playing off-site. 02:31:06.800 --> 02:31:09.800 Currently, I believe Jume is lurking all the way on the second floor. 02:31:09.800 --> 02:31:12.800 while the attack is pushing more directly into dock. 02:31:13.800 --> 02:31:18.800 Trying to use some of these drones, both on attack and defense, to set up their respective sides. 02:31:18.800 --> 02:31:21.800 This glass also with a smoke canister going down. Oh, look at this. 02:31:21.800 --> 02:31:27.800 Pasha already in quite deep for a minute into the round, just sitting inside a toxin prone, 02:31:27.800 --> 02:31:31.800 ratting against the defense. Breidae, next up, but quickly traded by Naquo, 02:31:31.800 --> 02:31:35.800 as Virtus Pro taking very fast control, or at least very fast engagements, 02:31:35.800 --> 02:31:37.800 and still not making it very deep. 02:31:37.800 --> 02:31:44.520 A little bit jammed up there inside of Barrels, Rorick, you'll be able to have a look through 02:31:44.520 --> 02:31:45.520 it with Glaz. 02:31:45.520 --> 02:31:50.600 But a one for one there, you've lost your Echo for your Snake, both massive pieces of 02:31:50.600 --> 02:31:53.440 utility for either side. 02:31:53.440 --> 02:31:56.800 The Echo, it's a late round utility, that's what you really want it there for, the Snake. 02:31:56.800 --> 02:32:01.320 It's an occupational hazard going down first, you are likely going to be in those engagements 02:32:01.320 --> 02:32:06.440 a bit more often so you could say that this favours VP at the moment, almost a bit of 02:32:06.440 --> 02:32:11.000 of a mystery on there, but Nakey will be thorough and is able to call out there is someone just 02:32:11.000 --> 02:32:12.960 on the other side of the door. 02:32:12.960 --> 02:32:16.960 She gets through lab and exits that door to the right. 02:32:16.960 --> 02:32:21.040 You need to be cautious, but defenders, they can move. 02:32:21.040 --> 02:32:23.360 Nakey is instead going to try and push his way through toxin. 02:32:23.360 --> 02:32:26.280 Again, a very techie angle to challenge onto. 02:32:26.280 --> 02:32:28.400 Look at this buddied link play that we've got right now. 02:32:28.400 --> 02:32:32.760 Leaky fact, he's happy to put himself in the way, but Nakey just brunts up to him. 02:32:32.760 --> 02:32:38.500 Stadieses goes to the free fire and usually so focused up front back. It's being exposed to the Blackbeard Dan 02:32:38.500 --> 02:32:44.520 Good for the cover as well and you now are treating back to the site never really got an impact on that rat play 02:32:45.040 --> 02:32:51.740 Bird is pro feeling very confident on layer plant for the first round kills for the second both go their way 02:32:53.200 --> 02:32:58.200 So before VP were good for four rounds on the attack last time these two teams played lair 02:32:58.200 --> 02:33:08.280 It was a far closer game with rounds going one for one pretty much throughout the duration. 02:33:08.280 --> 02:33:10.440 This time a little bit different. 02:33:10.440 --> 02:33:13.840 VP of Streets, a little bit of a lead right out of the gate. 02:33:13.840 --> 02:33:17.960 And they're not really showing any sign of slowing down, they are just rolling that momentum 02:33:17.960 --> 02:33:25.160 over from Fortress onto Lair and playing in kind of a similar playstyle. 02:33:25.160 --> 02:33:31.160 is a lot around this shield play. And you start to wonder there, at what point did you 02:33:31.160 --> 02:33:32.560 just ban all three shields? 02:33:32.560 --> 02:33:38.660 And it's a funny question because not only can you, but we have made arguments on both 02:33:38.660 --> 02:33:42.920 sides of this equation, right? On the one hand, the shields are in own quantity. You 02:33:42.920 --> 02:33:47.280 know he's going to play that. So there's a compelling argument to just ban every single 02:33:47.280 --> 02:33:52.840 shield. But by the same token, if you know he's going to play shields every single time, 02:33:52.840 --> 02:33:57.200 When you know what one of the five operators is going to be on the attack, you can also 02:33:57.200 --> 02:34:01.700 consider he's available, reasonably guessed that there's going to be a solid snake, probably 02:34:01.700 --> 02:34:04.180 going to be at least one hard breach, and at that point you're already well on your 02:34:04.180 --> 02:34:07.300 way to figuring out what Virtus.Pro's line-up's going to be. 02:34:07.300 --> 02:34:11.700 It's a tricky situation because on Shalaya, the shields were basically useless on that 02:34:11.700 --> 02:34:13.100 Shalaya attack. 02:34:13.100 --> 02:34:17.060 On Fortress, they were useful, but they weren't necessarily dominant, but these two rounds 02:34:17.060 --> 02:34:20.220 have been some of the best shield rounds we've seen in the whole series. 02:34:20.220 --> 02:34:25.220 And so, I imagine Falcons probably gonna take a much closer look at a shield ban for the last one, 02:34:25.220 --> 02:34:29.220 but the Naquel would still have either Blitz or Blackbeard, one of them remaining. 02:34:29.220 --> 02:34:33.220 It's a tricky situation, and just so happens that VP Shield Play is working very well right now. 02:34:33.220 --> 02:34:37.220 We'll see if Falcons could get adjusted to it, either in-round or after a tactical timeout. 02:34:37.220 --> 02:34:41.220 The ladder's likely gonna be called, if the defense drops another one here, 02:34:41.220 --> 02:34:45.220 and if they try Bunk's creeping their third site on this defense so far, 02:34:45.220 --> 02:34:49.220 something's gotta give, and probably gonna be Julio hitting the button. 02:34:49.220 --> 02:34:54.300 I wouldn't expect it. I would expect tactical time out to come if this round doesn't go Falcons way 02:34:55.020 --> 02:35:00.240 Cannot afford to let that happen make you gonna burst on through from up 02:35:00.740 --> 02:35:06.400 Intimacy makes a nice little rotate there. I'm likely do the same into our six room 02:35:07.060 --> 02:35:10.580 That's gonna be a bit of a focus clearing out this top floor Rorick downstairs 02:35:12.620 --> 02:35:14.740 Just need to be a little bit cautious down here 02:35:15.780 --> 02:35:18.180 There is gonna be a rogue defender leaky fact 02:35:19.220 --> 02:35:22.780 He's a ways away from the time being, but it isn't something to keep an eye on. 02:35:24.060 --> 02:35:26.180 Skies can start to move through the soft wall. 02:35:28.260 --> 02:35:29.980 Ooh, mirror windows up there as well. 02:35:29.980 --> 02:35:33.180 Solid top again on a fairly unnecessary swing. 02:35:33.180 --> 02:35:35.740 Maybe just fancying himself to be a bit better, a bit quicker. 02:35:36.060 --> 02:35:37.020 He'll pay for it. 02:35:37.140 --> 02:35:38.220 Take a good portion damage. 02:35:38.220 --> 02:35:42.460 Still alive though, he can still start to plug up some of these holes with those Keeber barricades. 02:35:42.460 --> 02:35:44.580 It's only gonna buy a short period of time. 02:35:45.580 --> 02:35:47.500 And of course a lot more needs to be bought. 02:35:47.500 --> 02:35:50.940 My first time that we've seen Falcons really come away with an opening pick. 02:35:50.940 --> 02:35:52.860 It's a snake down below going for that lurk. 02:35:52.860 --> 02:35:55.500 That just means it's an effective 4v4 at the moment. 02:35:55.500 --> 02:35:58.540 Four players up top going against both on the attack and the defense, 02:35:58.540 --> 02:36:00.060 peeking down through the vertical holes. 02:36:00.060 --> 02:36:01.620 Neko good for one. 02:36:01.620 --> 02:36:03.380 Great C4 by Usus. 02:36:03.380 --> 02:36:08.100 It actually ties things up as Breedy gets a kill on a Skye shortly thereafter. 02:36:08.100 --> 02:36:09.820 And retreats down green stairs. 02:36:09.820 --> 02:36:14.140 It's rare we see an actual full clear of this top floor, 02:36:14.140 --> 02:36:18.900 in one resulting in the defenders surviving and then falling back to the site. 02:36:19.560 --> 02:36:23.220 Brown's usually won or lost based off his top floor clear. 02:36:23.220 --> 02:36:27.860 Now instead, users to be down below as Breide thinks about a retake up green, 02:36:27.860 --> 02:36:31.740 Vertus Pro with 30 seconds remaining, I've got one in the site, 02:36:32.140 --> 02:36:35.340 but Pasha actually decides to rotate out. 02:36:35.780 --> 02:36:38.500 He's heading for the flank through bottom rocket into medical 02:36:38.500 --> 02:36:41.500 and might just find the one ASP player! 02:36:41.500 --> 02:36:45.160 And he might see him, but killing is a whole different question. 02:36:45.160 --> 02:36:52.560 Lot of damage, Delta users, and Breede, but a slim chance at victory for Breede, and he gets both of them. 02:36:52.560 --> 02:36:59.240 A round seemed like it should go VP's way. Breede with one kill in the mid-game and two to finish things off. 02:36:59.240 --> 02:37:04.840 Breede was the only player with a pulse it felt like on Fortress for some rounds for Falcons. 02:37:04.840 --> 02:37:07.840 He continued that over here. 02:37:07.840 --> 02:37:11.400 Finally Falcons with a round there to talk about and to 02:37:11.900 --> 02:37:13.860 Give themselves a little bit of confidence 02:37:13.860 --> 02:37:18.060 I still wouldn't be surprised to see the timeout because that they can't just win down there every time 02:37:18.580 --> 02:37:21.420 There is something called a sight rotation ladies and gentlemen 02:37:21.420 --> 02:37:27.280 You cannot go to the same site if you win it until you have been to two different ones black beard and to chanca 02:37:27.660 --> 02:37:31.440 Finally we get the black beard band and in a way finally we get the chanca band 02:37:31.440 --> 02:37:35.960 It's just a shame that we didn't see Falcons use it in the first round because might have been a different story 02:37:35.960 --> 02:37:42.360 could have very well been a different story. Good clay though. We often judge teams quite 02:37:42.360 --> 02:37:47.760 heavily on how this clay really manifests itself. And the C4 from users just being able 02:37:47.760 --> 02:37:53.400 to dig back. Obviously playing soul tough up there. It's not unusual, but when you have 02:37:53.400 --> 02:37:57.720 both the mirror and the Azami, you've got no choice. You have to play it. I really liked 02:37:57.720 --> 02:38:04.880 the mirror window that was played looking back in toward mask from the storage room. 02:38:04.880 --> 02:38:14.880 It was a direction that you never really see that mirror window played in, but it was obviously a lot of confidence from Falcons that, ah, well, they're not going to push you from Skybridge, you know, if they do, we've got barbed wire and we've got laser means doing it. 02:38:14.880 --> 02:38:20.880 We knew that they were going to be coming in through the bathroom side and through the museum side, so a good little play there from Falcons. 02:38:20.880 --> 02:38:23.880 That's a little bit of risk management. 02:38:23.880 --> 02:38:25.880 Back onto this top floor we go. 02:38:25.880 --> 02:38:28.880 So, Nodeshchanka, that's now been banned. 02:38:28.880 --> 02:38:30.880 It wasn't brought in round one. 02:38:30.880 --> 02:38:33.880 Something else that wasn't brought in round one that maybe could or should have been. 02:38:33.880 --> 02:38:34.880 Go there. 02:38:34.880 --> 02:38:40.520 The Vulcan pack is very effective tools not only for basically knocking away shields that 02:38:40.520 --> 02:38:43.320 they decide to walk into the fire and just kind of eviscerating their HP if they were 02:38:43.320 --> 02:38:47.240 to do so, but the more effective and the more common way is of course wasting, you know, 02:38:47.240 --> 02:38:50.960 like 15, 20 seconds of the clock as the attack tries to push in. 02:38:50.960 --> 02:38:55.760 It can be very good, usually necessitates a twitch pick in turn or some nades being brought 02:38:55.760 --> 02:38:57.760 by the attack. 02:38:57.760 --> 02:39:02.880 It's something that always invites and really requires a response from the attacking team. 02:39:02.880 --> 02:39:09.880 Again, talking about things that we did see or didn't see, one thing we actually saw in those earlier attacking rounds was Dan on this Cali. 02:39:09.880 --> 02:39:15.880 He'll take down the Kiva barriers early on, also using a Lance to crack that mirror window. 02:39:15.880 --> 02:39:22.880 Not an operator we often see, but a focal point of VP's R6 room attacks, oddly enough. 02:39:22.880 --> 02:39:26.880 The other Kiva goes out to plug up the hole, allow the ops player the ability to retreat. 02:39:26.880 --> 02:39:29.680 Jume not doing so, only now. 02:39:29.680 --> 02:39:35.680 LuckyFact is at the opportunity to set up that fallback mirror window inside of office. 02:39:35.680 --> 02:39:39.320 Now is when the Azami and the mirror fall back and it's not like last time we saw Jume 02:39:39.320 --> 02:39:41.440 caught falling back into office. 02:39:41.440 --> 02:39:43.320 There's somebody taken down below. 02:39:43.320 --> 02:39:48.280 Now this time, everybody from the defense falls back and nobody, not a single person off-site. 02:39:48.280 --> 02:39:53.880 We're looking to try and play it a lot tighter on them, they know that VP are going to push 02:39:53.880 --> 02:39:54.880 fairly one-dimensionally. 02:39:54.880 --> 02:40:01.600 they're always gonna be booted up in some way. Shields or not. I'm still got a shield, 02:40:01.600 --> 02:40:04.560 thank you, still got the Blitz to play. That hasn't been removed from him either. 02:40:04.560 --> 02:40:08.880 Salt off. Gives a good damage in down range down. Can start to use those Zotos kind of 02:40:08.880 --> 02:40:15.680 systems. Just slow a little bit of the progress onto that site wall. It's a DMR from DMR Battle, 02:40:15.680 --> 02:40:19.680 though. This down also has the sniper on Cali. It is going to be good with it. 02:40:19.680 --> 02:40:27.080 We keep back. Dave managed to say Pasha down before that, but any sort of stall that Falcons 02:40:27.080 --> 02:40:31.120 were hoping to have with those Oto canisters is now disappeared. More importantly, that 02:40:31.120 --> 02:40:35.600 position behind desk, super powerful. Someone's going to need to plug that gap. 02:40:35.600 --> 02:40:40.480 June might be in the most immediate spot to rotate. Does there have any key lists to block 02:40:40.480 --> 02:40:46.640 off the door and get behind there? But he is playing in a talked position. Could very 02:40:46.640 --> 02:40:51.640 Well do it indeed you'll see things. He's got the opportunity. We'll take the forward position behind the desk 02:40:51.640 --> 02:40:54.840 You get no key buzz if any of these get shot get kicked by that sniper 02:40:55.360 --> 02:40:57.480 You could be in for a rough time 02:40:57.480 --> 02:41:01.000 No other nades to be fair from the attack no bees either 02:41:01.320 --> 02:41:03.400 The Junes got to hold out with 30 seconds 02:41:03.400 --> 02:41:07.600 He's been drone can call the smokes which are still present with 30 seconds remaining by the way 02:41:07.600 --> 02:41:12.240 We did not see this in the last our six room. So going for a plant would be much more complicated 02:41:12.240 --> 02:41:19.160 Licky fact taking June spot but going prone instead trying to evade the eye line of any drone in the Intel gathering 02:41:19.160 --> 02:41:24.120 Make one good doing this dance trying to decide by go through the single do I go to a do I go to be 02:41:24.440 --> 02:41:31.480 He made a decision last time we had a better opportunity now post play utility man advantage and diffuser at a clean position to do 02:41:31.480 --> 02:41:34.240 It but this go around is just not the case 02:41:34.680 --> 02:41:40.280 Instead of roaming Falcons all play onsite. Licky fact not first dead three kills by the end of the round 02:41:40.280 --> 02:41:53.280 Falcons did such a good job of taking their foot off the gas there. They recognized, look guys, we don't need to peek him. We don't need to play into their trap. If they want to play this game, let them. Let them take a little bit more space. We'll keep them at bay with utility. 02:41:53.280 --> 02:42:04.280 And as we saw in that round, Neku, bless him. Didn't know which way to go. Was he going left? Was he going right? There was no clear option because the work hadn't been done. There were still Razor Blooms hanging around the museum. 02:42:04.280 --> 02:42:07.160 They were still talking to babe canisters that hadn't been baited out earlier on 02:42:07.960 --> 02:42:13.700 The only big kill really was the the trade on the entry when solotov fell after that 02:42:14.080 --> 02:42:16.080 It was just so one-sided 02:42:16.120 --> 02:42:21.560 And I don't know if that's who's naked. He's trying to do maybe a little bit too much in the he's got to take the space 02:42:22.400 --> 02:42:24.100 push players out of the way 02:42:24.100 --> 02:42:30.380 Then try and plant the diffuser and it just seems like a lot when sometimes a blitz is better 02:42:30.380 --> 02:42:35.980 just to be thrown into the mix. Take space and get a kill. Take space and get a kill and push through 02:42:35.980 --> 02:42:40.620 that way or have someone behind you working on your shoulder. They had to play for the fuse 02:42:40.620 --> 02:42:46.300 because of the time, but I think that was the problem. Yeah, we haven't seen the shields really 02:42:46.300 --> 02:42:51.500 used to make space all that much for VP. All things considered, they've consistently been a vehicle 02:42:51.500 --> 02:42:55.740 for plants and even when they've got kills early in the game, they're still in a very stagnant position. 02:42:55.740 --> 02:43:02.740 Again, I'm still thinking about Dan's 4K, just sitting and as people ping and just swinging into the line of fire, Dan's like, 02:43:02.740 --> 02:43:04.740 Okay, well, kill that guy, kill that guy, kill that guy. 02:43:04.740 --> 02:43:10.740 Very rarely have we actually seen Virtus Pro really use the shield, but like we saw, it didn't work. 02:43:10.740 --> 02:43:15.740 But like we saw Breedade try an attempt on the last round of Fortress, running up the staircase, quickly taking control. 02:43:15.740 --> 02:43:19.740 It's been a lot slower play from VP on this site. 02:43:19.740 --> 02:43:23.400 basement down below they got some quick control but even then it was still a 02:43:23.400 --> 02:43:28.980 pretty steady push through toxin through doc and eventually reaching the 02:43:28.980 --> 02:43:34.380 site as he's bringing the Blitz again they go back on this operator we see a 02:43:34.380 --> 02:43:38.360 VP decide to switch things up Pasha throws down a boogie drone June gets the 02:43:38.360 --> 02:43:41.400 first pick and it seems maybe they might have tried to go for something 02:43:41.400 --> 02:43:46.120 similar and unfortunately the Blitz caught lacking Sola swings around the 02:43:46.120 --> 02:43:52.820 corner takes down the core shield player this is where VP can struggle unfamiliar 02:43:52.820 --> 02:43:56.780 territory really for VP things have been going their way and by quite a 02:43:56.780 --> 02:44:01.420 considerable margin we haven't seen them come up against any real hostility or 02:44:01.420 --> 02:44:08.500 hardship really since fortress my falcons chain with the rounds together 02:44:08.500 --> 02:44:14.540 remember the magic number last time that VP attacked was four rounds 02:44:14.540 --> 02:44:16.540 I'm better here 02:44:17.220 --> 02:44:21.740 That's personally from passion though that excellent burst through ends up getting work in the process 02:44:22.340 --> 02:44:27.700 Unfortunately, he's lost his support in might just lost the round off the back of it. You man. Licky fact 02:44:28.220 --> 02:44:32.700 Both get one a piece. I'm not saying it's a different story, but 02:44:33.420 --> 02:44:38.900 Burdice pro thing and they could just run straight through a barricade with a coio canister on and they only realize what it is 02:44:38.900 --> 02:44:43.460 is all too late. A lot more went wrong that round, not just 02:44:43.460 --> 02:44:46.840 Rourke getting burnt alive. Falcons now taking the lead on 02:44:46.840 --> 02:44:51.800 Lair. Back in the driver's seat now. I think the blip that we 02:44:51.800 --> 02:44:55.120 experienced on Fortress is just that. It's the best of three. 02:44:55.120 --> 02:44:58.760 When you're on that, when the decider, Falcons starting to 02:44:58.760 --> 02:45:05.080 show more signs of life as this game ticks on by. VP, time out. 02:45:05.080 --> 02:45:10.080 One round prior to the mandatory half-time show that we have now as well, 02:45:10.080 --> 02:45:14.240 where we get to listen in to both the coaches, both coaches get two minutes at 02:45:14.240 --> 02:45:20.680 the end of round six, but dark, wanted a bit more. He wants a minute before round 02:45:20.680 --> 02:45:26.220 six. He recognizes how important this round is though, a 3-3. I'm not gonna say 02:45:26.220 --> 02:45:30.920 it's a requirement, but anything less and it's gonna be extremely difficult. We 02:45:30.920 --> 02:45:35.320 We know just how good Falcons have been on the attack today. 02:45:35.320 --> 02:45:40.160 Their attacking rounds on Shallay are some of the best that I've seen this whole tournament. 02:45:40.160 --> 02:45:41.160 They haven't very good. 02:45:41.160 --> 02:45:44.640 It is just, again, such an odd timeout position. 02:45:44.640 --> 02:45:48.320 As you said, one round away from the half swap, but of course it is, you also pointed 02:45:48.320 --> 02:45:52.240 out, the attacks would be gone, wouldn't have any opportunity to try and tie the game. 02:45:52.240 --> 02:45:57.760 Well, wouldn't have any opportunity to better your chances at tying the game. 02:45:57.760 --> 02:46:06.760 Very rare, we see that much importance placed on the end of a half when the end of the half isn't like, you know, you're down 6-3, or 6-4, or 6-5. 02:46:06.760 --> 02:46:13.760 The 3-2 instead, kind of a gamble by Dark to use it at this point, not only betting that it'll be effective to get this attack round, 02:46:13.760 --> 02:46:18.760 but they won't need it on their defenses, and something so important that he decides to use it now. 02:46:18.760 --> 02:46:25.760 The final sight, we'll see Falcons defend in Virtus Pro attack. It will be another Bunks in Briefing defense. 02:46:25.760 --> 02:46:27.760 Last time we were here 02:46:27.800 --> 02:46:32.780 Virtus Pro went for a full clear. They got the advantage and were almost able to close out the round 02:46:33.060 --> 02:46:34.940 Till Breede decided to get active 02:46:34.940 --> 02:46:39.740 But it was a very close one one in which Virtus Pro had a lead in terms of control and manpower at one point 02:46:39.740 --> 02:46:41.740 It was snatched away from them at the very end 02:46:43.900 --> 02:46:48.100 And again as you said it was a full clear of this top floor which is a little bit uncharacteristic 02:46:48.540 --> 02:46:55.300 Often we'll see times teams will play a soloist or something of that nature and maybe even rip open a lot of the floor themselves 02:46:55.300 --> 02:46:58.660 so that they can retake up on that top floor as and when required. 02:46:58.660 --> 02:47:01.900 No solos this time, but still an ability to retake him. 02:47:01.900 --> 02:47:03.900 Plenty of explosive potential as well. 02:47:03.900 --> 02:47:07.500 Four C4s, they are just going to try and lock themselves in 02:47:07.500 --> 02:47:11.100 and keep as tight a hold as possible inside a mask 02:47:11.100 --> 02:47:14.300 and use those C4s to just deny entry at the windows. 02:47:14.300 --> 02:47:15.900 No hard breach this time. 02:47:15.900 --> 02:47:20.300 We saw the thermite last time and that was a good way of really opening up 02:47:20.300 --> 02:47:21.700 a lot of that top floor. 02:47:21.700 --> 02:47:24.900 Now that they're stuck to windows and doors only, 02:47:24.900 --> 02:47:26.900 Those C4s become a lot more powerful. 02:47:28.900 --> 02:47:31.900 Four C4s are always just a daunting number to stare at. 02:47:31.900 --> 02:47:36.900 Especially the information that Valve could enable, or the Zodos that could slow them. 02:47:36.900 --> 02:47:39.900 You always gotta worry about a C4 getting tossed, some which way. 02:47:39.900 --> 02:47:42.900 They call moving quite quickly through, not going into office instead. 02:47:42.900 --> 02:47:48.900 Cutting straight up the bathroom hallway, looking to take things from the R6 side. 02:47:48.900 --> 02:47:50.900 One move just far. 02:47:50.900 --> 02:47:52.900 Four players they have to worry about. 02:47:52.900 --> 02:47:54.900 Bit of an idea, some flanker. 02:47:54.900 --> 02:47:56.900 And Rorak's got the perfect cutoff. 02:47:56.900 --> 02:48:00.900 He's been roaming down below every single round, it seemed, on Grim on Snake. 02:48:00.900 --> 02:48:06.900 He's had very little impact. This time, Ketchesolotov, when VP needed a lucky break the most. 02:48:08.900 --> 02:48:10.900 Starting to try and get something going upstairs. 02:48:12.900 --> 02:48:14.900 It's not a Thermite, it's a Selma. 02:48:14.900 --> 02:48:18.900 It's not as good for pushing through. It's much more of a line of sight. 02:48:18.900 --> 02:48:22.740 It's still going to give value to these C4s, three of which are left. 02:48:22.740 --> 02:48:23.740 So it's off. 02:48:23.740 --> 02:48:24.740 I'm sure he's on his camera. 02:48:24.740 --> 02:48:27.380 It's a nice bit of vert play here from LeakyFact. 02:48:27.380 --> 02:48:30.660 Great C4, but shut out midair. 02:48:30.660 --> 02:48:35.540 Just able to find that bit of secondary utility. 02:48:35.540 --> 02:48:40.660 They are now still waiting, but this clear is not working like it was before. 02:48:40.660 --> 02:48:45.020 Virtus Pro were able to move in, get these trades, whittle the man down, but now they're 02:48:45.020 --> 02:49:14.020 stuck because of these toxic canisters, because of these Zodo canisters, because of the Falcons utility, and their complete unwillingness to take fights against these attackers, and yet still VP rat advantage, still they widen it, Pasha able to find another, and it's another 2vx for Breidae and a lone defender, now just Breidae, now nobody, dark bet everything on that time out, knowing a 3-3 half might be necessary, and it is exactly what VP get. 02:49:15.020 --> 02:49:26.220 Okay guys, good trick trick. I'm just going to summarize what they do and then the effects 02:49:26.220 --> 02:49:31.100 say what we can do. On the office, they usually play default, they don't play a lot of traps, 02:49:31.100 --> 02:49:35.420 they play, the guy can play between bathroom, windows, okay Josh. And then they're going 02:49:35.420 --> 02:49:40.660 to like try to waste time. Azami is going to help these guys falling back from bathroom 02:49:40.660 --> 02:49:46.020 main scents and that's it the rest is default tachanka okay for banks same thing default they're gonna 02:49:46.020 --> 02:49:51.700 have solis warden tachanka smoke just to stop the plant green plant and paint side the guy 02:49:51.700 --> 02:49:57.300 gonna double reinforce paint warden you play there you will not live there you know uh if you go there 02:49:57.300 --> 02:50:02.980 okay for labs they can do full turtle okay like they're gonna start like a machine stand get a drone 02:50:02.980 --> 02:50:08.980 full turtle with smoke and tachanka and echo and go like full turtle okay and then the other one 02:50:08.980 --> 02:50:14.980 you can do with more aggro, one guy on top floor, one guy on medic side, one guy on armory and mute key, okay? 02:50:14.980 --> 02:50:17.980 That's the summary, you can say it a long way back. 02:50:17.980 --> 02:50:22.980 And on banks, guys, they play for the floor with free for us, let's see what's going to be more strong. 02:50:22.980 --> 02:50:26.980 In the basement, we talked so much yesterday, right? We're going to do that new setup on Pasha, 02:50:26.980 --> 02:50:29.980 like he's going to do another mute sheet or the solid sheet, but that's me. 02:50:29.980 --> 02:50:34.980 If they're going to attack with Danila, or Pasha is going to help, or Pasha is going to hide. 02:50:34.980 --> 02:50:39.520 Anyway, we have to play in the same key because if Daniel is alone, just play to give and play to execution 02:50:39.520 --> 02:50:42.360 and if you think execution is not going to be good guys, we try to play something. 02:50:43.960 --> 02:50:47.680 On this setup they want to kill Daniela, Chris, and Pasha is playing Solis. 02:50:47.680 --> 02:50:50.160 Remember, you can go up, Garage stay, Yellow is there. 02:50:50.160 --> 02:50:52.620 So you control lobby and Pasha just think about Daniela. 02:50:52.620 --> 02:50:56.720 Because we're going to play just safe in this, right? That means we're going to domain Garage, so you and Nikita. 02:50:57.740 --> 02:51:01.740 Yeah, and the Bunkz guys, Bunkz is Bunkz. You guys know the options we have, don't have enough in too much to say. 02:51:01.740 --> 02:51:03.740 Be careful about like a 02:51:03.740 --> 02:51:07.220 The first round if you don't have a ward in control of main breach, they like to use glass death 02:51:07.220 --> 02:51:09.100 I know to Bamiro is threated 02:51:09.100 --> 02:51:14.300 I should be able to take care about that. So it's fine. I think I'll go 02:51:16.300 --> 02:51:20.820 For example, you're playing garage defense and they fucked up they cannot domain 02:51:23.260 --> 02:51:26.220 Dark using every single second of that tactical timeout 02:51:26.780 --> 02:51:30.340 Julio again given some high-level stuff licky-fack taking over as we swap 02:51:30.340 --> 02:51:37.340 But that will be one team's last midway tack pause for this tournament. 02:51:37.340 --> 02:51:41.340 It is map 3, tie game between Falcons and Virtus Pro. 02:51:41.340 --> 02:51:44.340 One team to make it, one team to go home. 02:51:44.340 --> 02:51:48.340 These will be almost your final set of bands for Lair. 02:51:48.340 --> 02:51:50.340 Hard breached denial, Monty Deimos. 02:51:50.340 --> 02:51:52.340 Of course we saw that round. 02:51:52.340 --> 02:51:54.340 Virtus Pro can carry with this momentum. 02:51:54.340 --> 02:51:57.340 Things could not have gone better in round six. 02:51:57.340 --> 02:52:03.820 VP did a really good job of stabilizing there I think. Again, quite a swingy game, two rounds 02:52:03.820 --> 02:52:08.540 for VP, two rounds for Falcons, round for VP, round for Falcons. You know, it really 02:52:08.540 --> 02:52:14.580 was that sort of a game. However, Dark came in with a genius timeout, executed by the 02:52:14.580 --> 02:52:20.260 team perfectly, guaranteed the 3-3. Mentioned it a couple of times. Last time these two 02:52:20.260 --> 02:52:26.060 teams played this map. Was in kickoff, qualification four. This event, this was a map that was 02:52:26.060 --> 02:52:30.680 played and it was won by VP they were good for four rounds on the attack in 02:52:30.680 --> 02:52:35.880 that series so they've either underperformed, Falcons have overperformed or it's only one 02:52:35.880 --> 02:52:39.960 round that we don't look too far into it. This is a tied game and this is where 02:52:39.960 --> 02:52:44.300 Falcons need to show that they still have life they need to give us what we saw 02:52:44.300 --> 02:52:50.360 on Shallay not what we saw on Fortress. To give us what we saw on Fortress VP are 02:52:50.360 --> 02:52:53.960 I'm just going to dog walk this game all the way to its conclusion. 02:52:56.680 --> 02:53:00.000 And dog walking is kind of the name of the game with this line of the VP of 02:53:00.000 --> 02:53:03.440 bringing. They're saying, Oh, you've got some really great players. 02:53:03.440 --> 02:53:06.440 You've got June who does like to play Blackbeard on this roster. 02:53:06.640 --> 02:53:09.600 One of one of his higher picked attacking operators. 02:53:09.760 --> 02:53:14.520 Well, we're going to throw Goyo at you to brow at you to chunk out you. 02:53:14.520 --> 02:53:19.000 Mira, we are making sure you need to spend double triple the amount of time you 02:53:19.000 --> 02:53:24.060 normally do to take control of power positions, to move into the site. That's how we're going 02:53:24.060 --> 02:53:27.700 to win this. We're going to stop you from getting active. We're going to keep you immobilized. 02:53:27.700 --> 02:53:31.780 We're going to just burn 20 seconds sitting outside of our six room, just on this Goyle 02:53:31.780 --> 02:53:36.180 pack. Nothing really gained from it beyond that, and it's just about sending a message. 02:53:36.180 --> 02:53:38.980 Ori is from Big Differences in the way that Falcons like to attack versus the way that 02:53:38.980 --> 02:53:44.620 versus Brody. Falcons more than happy to spread out, operate in different areas. We've got 02:53:44.620 --> 02:53:49.900 Jume threatening a backstab, Breede now starting to make that link with him over on the other side of Skybridge. 02:53:49.900 --> 02:53:54.320 But aside from that, you've got players really dug in, you've got Solotov all the way outside of Ops. 02:53:54.320 --> 02:53:58.820 It's not like they're just all flooding and piling the same place where that shield's playing. 02:53:58.820 --> 02:54:01.620 They trust each other to be a little bit more individual about it. 02:54:01.620 --> 02:54:05.620 Has that worked yet? It also hasn't worked yet. 02:54:05.620 --> 02:54:12.320 We are yet to see the result of it. It is just the fundamental differences between Falcons and VP in the way that these two teams like to operate. 02:54:12.320 --> 02:54:14.220 Leaky Facts, he's gonna be in below. 02:54:14.220 --> 02:54:17.900 Looks like he's got the run of his teeth down there and he's gonna likely find something. 02:54:17.900 --> 02:54:19.940 There's too many holes for him not to at this point. 02:54:19.940 --> 02:54:25.440 And even if he doesn't get a kill, still got half the skeleton key remaining to apply so much pressure to these defenders. 02:54:25.440 --> 02:54:30.440 To dump some flashbangs as well, can just deny people from playing in safe, important positions. 02:54:30.440 --> 02:54:31.740 You can see the impact of it. 02:54:31.740 --> 02:54:35.240 Dan running back and forth and is walking directly into the crosshairs of an attacker. 02:54:35.240 --> 02:54:38.120 Warrant taking a pit of some scattered shots in the skeleton key. 02:54:38.120 --> 02:54:41.660 The Licky Pack switches and just barely saves himself from death. 02:54:41.660 --> 02:54:45.260 We are taken down is it the biggest thing in the world might lose a c4 02:54:45.260 --> 02:54:51.800 But the active utility still there so it owes the shumikas and the c4, but Ali we've only got six shumikas left 02:54:52.100 --> 02:54:56.620 I was just about to say you get a lot of shumika launches, but one they have six left 02:54:56.620 --> 02:55:01.300 It's great. We've used them, but was also 45 seconds. You've got two c4s 02:55:01.300 --> 02:55:04.380 So you're not sure on ability to deny with right here 02:55:04.500 --> 02:55:10.900 Well that fire isn't gonna be effective for the whole round and falcons know it skies next plate to fall solos off pushes in 02:55:11.660 --> 02:55:17.400 Trying to make his way deeper, you can still give Virtus.pro credit if the goal was wasting as much time as possible. 02:55:17.400 --> 02:55:23.840 They've done the best they can, but Falcons, despite that, in their entrenched positions are still getting kills. 02:55:23.840 --> 02:55:26.900 Licky Facts got two, just through the verticals. 02:55:26.900 --> 02:55:35.120 This horizontal push has been problematic, sure, but out of 4-2 with Pasha and Dan on reduced HP, something has to break. 02:55:35.120 --> 02:55:41.520 Pasha might break Jewel at the entrance, he might get a third kill, as a matter of fact, and neither attack or with the defuser. 02:55:41.520 --> 02:55:45.680 Salta picks it back up, Likifak needs to win this fight and with the vertical angle 02:55:46.480 --> 02:55:50.720 it's the element of surprise that does it for Falcons in a retake their lead. 02:55:53.040 --> 02:55:59.520 Likifak underneath on the buck, he was given way too much space there. His team did such a good 02:55:59.520 --> 02:56:04.960 job of catching everything that he was throwing up and offering to them as well. As soon as that 02:56:04.960 --> 02:56:09.600 floor gets ripped open, defenders start to move, people get uncomfortable and you have to move 02:56:09.600 --> 02:56:11.600 out of different positions. 02:56:11.600 --> 02:56:13.600 Jume played so patiently. 02:56:13.600 --> 02:56:15.600 Breede arguably even more so. 02:56:15.600 --> 02:56:19.600 He was the other side of Skybridge, just watching flank for the majority. 02:56:19.600 --> 02:56:24.600 We had Jume, threatening at the door, dealt with the barbed wire, dealt with the player. 02:56:24.600 --> 02:56:29.600 Doesn't need to make this too complicated, doesn't need to over commit. 02:56:29.600 --> 02:56:35.600 I must admit, the line that Pasha had, I was a little bit worried. 02:56:35.600 --> 02:56:36.600 I was a little bit nervous. 02:56:36.600 --> 02:56:38.600 Pasha goes anywhere else there by the way, and he might get away with it. 02:56:38.600 --> 02:56:41.720 away with it. He might, if he pushes in and just lands a couple of bullets, that's kit 02:56:41.720 --> 02:56:46.680 on the floor cold and LickyFact can't really do too much. Just so happens he chose the 02:56:46.680 --> 02:56:48.600 worst doorway to go through. 02:56:48.600 --> 02:56:51.880 One in that vertical play being of the utmost importance because even though LickyFact's 02:56:51.880 --> 02:56:56.960 on one HP, if you don't end up checking your feet instead of in front of you, LickyFact's 02:56:56.960 --> 02:56:59.920 still going to get you and probably be the favorite one in that engagement even if he's 02:56:59.920 --> 02:57:03.480 one MPX away from death. 02:57:03.480 --> 02:57:06.840 A good play by Falcons. Probably the most effective vertical play I've seen for a little 02:57:06.840 --> 02:57:11.960 bit at this major. Licky fact doing so much work with that skeleton key. 9-4 right now. 02:57:11.960 --> 02:57:17.120 Four Falcons. Now going with the Snake. Him and Joom sometimes kind of trade these operators 02:57:17.120 --> 02:57:22.720 back and forth. Snake, Dohka B. Both have a bit of similar lurking tendencies. I think 02:57:22.720 --> 02:57:27.960 that's one difference we've seen between this Falcons lineup and the, uh, shut, uh, lineup 02:57:27.960 --> 02:57:32.360 of Shiko in it. Shiko always on operators like that. Deimos like that. No matter we all know 02:57:32.360 --> 02:57:37.560 the habitual psycho operators we've seen when he was on Falcons, formerly BDS. 02:57:37.560 --> 02:57:42.120 The Jume and Licky Fack have a bit more overlap and trade hands with some of 02:57:42.120 --> 02:57:44.840 these important operators. Even Jume bringing up the Blackbeard on behalf of them. 02:57:44.840 --> 02:57:50.800 Breeday with the disco around. His dopey call begins ringing out across layer to 02:57:50.800 --> 02:57:55.040 enable Breeday on this full clear. There's nobody from the defense really on 02:57:55.040 --> 02:57:59.000 this first or second floor. Everybody down below on the site, I think they pull the 02:57:59.000 --> 02:58:03.900 one exception, flying around the blue stairs, but even then he is in an easy position to 02:58:03.900 --> 02:58:04.900 rotate back. 02:58:04.900 --> 02:58:06.740 It was spoken about in the timeout, wasn't it? 02:58:06.740 --> 02:58:10.740 Dark was saying that they were going to play quite heavily inside of Warehouse, it ended 02:58:10.740 --> 02:58:13.460 up giving it quite a lot of map control away, but that was something that they were comfortable 02:58:13.460 --> 02:58:17.700 to do as a compromise, they were willing to take, the Falcons, they will know this, and 02:58:17.700 --> 02:58:21.940 they have already taken good control, like I say, and get that breach drone in, start 02:58:21.940 --> 02:58:26.220 ripping open some of this floor, in fact, still got that solid top scanner that he could flex 02:58:26.220 --> 02:58:31.620 about it and see what is able to find and that's it almost becomes even worse 02:58:31.620 --> 02:58:35.300 isn't it because we're not using the doka be called the Solotons guys to get 02:58:35.300 --> 02:58:38.940 opening kills we're gonna be using in late round when defenders have just got 02:58:38.940 --> 02:58:43.380 nowhere to go it's not like they can just slip away into the night bees as 02:58:43.380 --> 02:58:48.620 well getting thrown into that mix the info here is gonna be excruciating if 02:58:48.620 --> 02:58:52.860 the doka be called and the solotons get her for a brutal one-two punch Grimm 02:58:52.860 --> 02:58:55.700 also could get involved and displace some more players. 02:58:56.340 --> 02:58:58.640 Falcons have a lot of important utility that Dope would be called 02:58:58.640 --> 02:59:02.080 the second of two, bringing out everybody silencing their phones. 02:59:02.340 --> 02:59:05.220 Rourke face to face with the Blackbeard to begin to have the melee exchange 02:59:05.220 --> 02:59:06.940 and it's Breidae hitting the process. 02:59:07.420 --> 02:59:09.120 Rourke only needs the one. 02:59:09.120 --> 02:59:11.920 The one bullet put Breidae's life to an end. 02:59:11.920 --> 02:59:14.320 Good trade by Licky Fack, pre-fire around the corner. 02:59:14.520 --> 02:59:17.020 He had the information, made the play. 02:59:17.020 --> 02:59:19.760 While you lose the Blackbeard, you gain a bit of a forward position. 02:59:19.960 --> 02:59:21.560 The Blackbeard could have broken that stalemate. 02:59:21.560 --> 02:59:23.560 It won't be a factor you have going forward. 02:59:23.560 --> 02:59:27.060 4 vs 4, Solotov's kinda active once again. 02:59:27.060 --> 02:59:30.360 E-Fact needs to win this engagement with Dan, but wasn't even ADS'd! 02:59:30.360 --> 02:59:33.560 That's gonna give a huge opportunity over here to Virtus Pro, 02:59:33.560 --> 02:59:35.560 as they've got the extra body to trade with. 02:59:35.560 --> 02:59:39.560 They've got the extra body, they've got two of Solotov's down in the process. 02:59:39.560 --> 02:59:44.060 Dan with that off angle, making things just that much sweeter for VP. 02:59:44.060 --> 02:59:50.060 Jume creeping in through the site gets one, but as his position's known, only so much he can do. 02:59:50.060 --> 02:59:53.500 Dan, three kills on the round and neither team 02:59:53.500 --> 02:59:56.420 able to get quite a lead over the other. 02:59:56.420 --> 02:59:59.540 This is shaping up to be a real good third map 02:59:59.540 --> 03:00:03.620 and a best of three for a qualification to the main stage. 03:00:03.620 --> 03:00:06.900 Neither team giving up an inch right now. 03:00:08.500 --> 03:00:10.720 Falcons with all of that map control, 03:00:10.720 --> 03:00:12.700 still unable to make it happen. 03:00:12.700 --> 03:00:16.620 And it was just down to a couple of kind of sloppy plays. 03:00:16.620 --> 03:00:21.580 Breeday gets shield bashed, Rorick there immediately to take advantage of it. 03:00:21.580 --> 03:00:26.980 Breeday ideally should have closed the distance a little bit there and not given too much of an opportunity away. 03:00:26.980 --> 03:00:30.140 You could also ask the question of Jim, why was he so far back? 03:00:30.140 --> 03:00:33.500 He'd have been a bit more forward, maybe he would have kept Breeday alive a little bit longer. 03:00:33.500 --> 03:00:36.140 E-Fack swings the corner on ABS. 03:00:36.140 --> 03:00:37.620 It's basics, isn't it at that point? 03:00:37.620 --> 03:00:39.900 I mean, he had the info on the Soltone scanner. 03:00:39.900 --> 03:00:44.060 Just a couple of key moments there in that round that you can really start to look to. 03:00:44.060 --> 03:00:47.340 because the strategy was good. 03:00:47.340 --> 03:00:49.820 You know, it was genuinely just down to a couple of misplays. 03:00:49.820 --> 03:00:52.820 And VP, they are so up for the fight right now. 03:00:52.820 --> 03:00:56.060 Skye's a little bit quiet at two and seven, but Paxia, 03:00:56.060 --> 03:00:58.500 10 and five, double positive for the minute. 03:00:58.500 --> 03:01:00.740 And again, a big defensive player, four bird is pro, 03:01:00.740 --> 03:01:02.260 Dan is well in that round, 3k. 03:01:02.260 --> 03:01:04.540 And that moment you mentioned between him and LickyFact 03:01:04.540 --> 03:01:07.740 with the Solotone scanner, he had it out. 03:01:07.740 --> 03:01:09.180 He literally was like, surely somebody's not 03:01:09.180 --> 03:01:11.700 going to be peeking this off angle, surely I'll be fine. 03:01:11.700 --> 03:01:15.460 decides not to use it, and of course, that's the exact moment he gets swung. 03:01:15.460 --> 03:01:19.740 It's always on luck, human situations like that occur, and it's likely one of the key 03:01:19.740 --> 03:01:22.860 moments that enabled VP to get that last round. 03:01:22.860 --> 03:01:27.100 Our six from defense now, as the attack was able to get a win here last time, and if VP 03:01:27.100 --> 03:01:31.620 can do so again, continue one of those games where it's back and forth that VP maintained 03:01:31.620 --> 03:01:36.780 their lead, and the Falcons have switched things up a little bit. 03:01:36.780 --> 03:01:43.020 of course have it's Chonka and the Goyo got it got to mention that the smoke as 03:01:43.020 --> 03:01:48.540 well but overall actually look at it actually don't really know fundamentally 03:01:48.540 --> 03:01:51.980 there really is all that much difference between these setups I think the 03:01:51.980 --> 03:01:54.700 main difference is coming in the approach from Falcons instead of playing 03:01:54.700 --> 03:01:58.340 the Blackbeard instead of trying to work through from that Skybridge side we've 03:01:58.340 --> 03:02:03.540 got the breach open now main breach open thermite proper job of it as well no 03:02:03.540 --> 03:02:07.540 we'll need to messin' about. Let's just get that done straight away. And Brede has gotten himself 03:02:07.540 --> 03:02:12.020 around there. We've got the sense. So that tells me that there's going to be some sort of a plank 03:02:12.020 --> 03:02:16.180 go down. We're going to see Solotov no doubt get himself into a position at the top of Mez, 03:02:16.180 --> 03:02:20.500 hence uses his position at the minute outside of balcony. He's going to be able to open up onto 03:02:20.500 --> 03:02:25.060 bathroom, hopefully affect any players and cut off anyone that's trying to rotate around and take 03:02:25.060 --> 03:02:28.820 control of Mez. There's still a bit of work to do here. The Vulcan packs are going to do a little 03:02:28.820 --> 03:02:34.340 bit of slowing down, but we do still have some nades kicking around for that. The biggest problem 03:02:34.340 --> 03:02:38.260 is of course the T'Chankin, the fact that we've still got 18 Chumiko launchers left. 03:02:39.620 --> 03:02:44.340 We've got 18 Chumiko launchers left, and I think to both of our points, while there are some changes 03:02:44.340 --> 03:02:48.100 in the operator lineup, like I said earlier with Smoke coming in, it's still the same strategy. VP 03:02:48.100 --> 03:02:53.460 have just doubled down on what worked before, at least what they tried to make work before. 03:02:53.460 --> 03:02:57.860 Continue to stall time, alleviate some of the pressure on Naquo, so as you mentioned, he can 03:02:57.860 --> 03:03:02.860 still have, you know, 15 Shumikas when, you know, not 5 with 45 seconds remaining. 03:03:02.860 --> 03:03:06.460 Not sort of for a variable, LeakyFax barely used any of his skills and key. 03:03:06.460 --> 03:03:08.060 There is no vertical presence whatsoever. 03:03:08.060 --> 03:03:09.060 That's a big part of this, though. 03:03:09.060 --> 03:03:13.260 I think the kind of get LeakyFax to be forgotten about because now when he starts to rip it 03:03:13.260 --> 03:03:15.060 open, this is when he sees the value. 03:03:15.060 --> 03:03:18.060 There should be nowhere for these defenders to go right now. 03:03:18.060 --> 03:03:21.860 And especially if you could imagine him locking in on Dan's position or somebody ratting in 03:03:21.860 --> 03:03:23.860 a corner, there would literally be nowhere to go. 03:03:23.860 --> 03:03:26.660 That seems Dan might not be drawing a key moment though. 03:03:26.660 --> 03:03:29.000 Breeday keeping watch from the opposition. 03:03:29.000 --> 03:03:30.700 An important kill for the Thermite. 03:03:30.700 --> 03:03:32.540 Salatow up good for two. 03:03:32.540 --> 03:03:35.980 And Pasha, who's trying to tip the scales, 03:03:35.980 --> 03:03:40.060 has unfortunately had dead weight attached to his ankles. 03:03:40.060 --> 03:03:42.500 A flawless for Falcons. 03:03:42.500 --> 03:03:44.900 Back in the lead. 03:03:44.900 --> 03:03:47.860 Really executed round from Falcons. 03:03:47.860 --> 03:03:48.980 You know what? 03:03:48.980 --> 03:03:52.820 You can't even discredit Virtus.Pro because they played perfect. 03:03:52.820 --> 03:03:55.380 They played great Siege, they had loads of denial, 03:03:55.380 --> 03:03:57.820 they had Goyo, they had Chanker, they had Smoke. 03:03:57.820 --> 03:04:01.980 It was all used very well, but the X Factor, 03:04:01.980 --> 03:04:04.140 Grim Bs, leak you back below. 03:04:05.020 --> 03:04:06.020 Soon as you got the information, 03:04:06.020 --> 03:04:07.140 that's why Grim's banned so often, 03:04:07.140 --> 03:04:08.820 because whereas you got a Deimos, 03:04:08.820 --> 03:04:11.220 and Deimos's death mark works for Deimos, 03:04:11.220 --> 03:04:13.820 the Bs is just, you just exposed, you know? 03:04:13.820 --> 03:04:14.860 You just call out there. 03:04:14.860 --> 03:04:17.060 So you are easily able to be found. 03:04:17.060 --> 03:04:20.020 And it can happen at such a shorter time period as well. 03:04:20.020 --> 03:04:22.100 It's like, swing a corner, bam, bam, 03:04:22.100 --> 03:04:26.100 Two canisters sent off and you've got in four on two corners now, which could be two positions 03:04:26.860 --> 03:04:31.520 It's in a heck of a lot of grim band and it's no surprise to see it banned here ahead of round 10 03:04:31.940 --> 03:04:36.340 There was a big reason as to why Falcons found themselves successful in the previous round. However 03:04:37.340 --> 03:04:38.540 What? 03:04:38.540 --> 03:04:40.720 Still got plenty to be going with 03:04:42.620 --> 03:04:47.360 What was the phrase you earlier knocking your head against the wall if you like it well 03:04:48.100 --> 03:04:50.100 they'll go for a third slam as 03:04:50.100 --> 03:04:59.020 is not Armory maintenance, not Bunk's briefing, VP for the third time this defensive half will 03:04:59.020 --> 03:05:07.060 try Master and R6, a site they have played twice and not won once. 03:05:07.060 --> 03:05:12.500 The first time, we all remember, we just talked about it, they quote very little Shumika's 03:05:12.500 --> 03:05:16.780 left, Pasha gets a 3k at the end, but massive vertical play from Licky Fack. 03:05:16.780 --> 03:05:21.060 that round, licky fact plays late, Grim gets a lot of good information, Falcons take up 03:05:21.060 --> 03:05:28.700 pretty convincing round. And so Virtus Pro decide to go for it again, and I think the 03:05:28.700 --> 03:05:33.380 only change they make is a thorn? 03:05:33.380 --> 03:05:41.900 It's not enough. The change of the thorn alone is not going to be enough. Now it can't 03:05:41.900 --> 03:05:45.300 be the exact same strategy from Falkens because the bees have been banned. 03:05:45.300 --> 03:05:48.900 Equally, it's not going to be the exact same strategy from Virtus.Pro because the go-go 03:05:48.900 --> 03:05:52.140 has been banned, both of which played in the last round the last time we saw this site 03:05:52.140 --> 03:05:53.140 play. 03:05:53.140 --> 03:05:56.300 The leak back is still going to be going underneath, but you can have a little bit less information 03:05:56.300 --> 03:05:57.300 to work off. 03:05:57.300 --> 03:06:01.360 It's going to be much more drone focused and call out based than necessarily just finding 03:06:01.360 --> 03:06:03.860 out where people are based off utility. 03:06:03.860 --> 03:06:08.220 Another important addition here for Falkens in the way that the channel approach this 03:06:08.220 --> 03:06:11.860 round 10 in particular is going to be the Rora. 03:06:11.860 --> 03:06:15.860 got the Rora, got the Nomad, it's a different landscape right now. 03:06:15.860 --> 03:06:19.540 We've also now got the Thermite, we've actually got the Ace, so breaching will be slightly 03:06:19.540 --> 03:06:22.900 different as well, but that is a little bit more nuanced. 03:06:22.900 --> 03:06:28.700 Jim, probably going to look to try and Rora off in and around Optorium at the moment, 03:06:28.700 --> 03:06:33.820 and just give a little bit of an option for some early foothold to be taken. 03:06:33.820 --> 03:06:38.820 That's the low that Dory blocked off, bottom rocket. 03:06:38.820 --> 03:06:40.820 He takes a line outside of the single window. 03:06:40.820 --> 03:06:45.820 And you're also looking towards the breach as one of... 03:06:45.820 --> 03:06:48.820 Well, I guess actually it's a hard breach chart that was used to open that angle. 03:06:48.820 --> 03:06:53.820 The first cell was used by Solotov to open up the elevated angle in ops. 03:06:53.820 --> 03:06:59.820 But it is about as slow around as you could get on Lair so far, a minute and 40 seconds in. 03:06:59.820 --> 03:07:04.500 Falcons in, some shumigas have been used, a toxic canister used as well, but Falcons 03:07:04.500 --> 03:07:07.580 are taking their sweet time with this. 03:07:07.580 --> 03:07:11.860 Licky back letting some skeleton key shots go, so to be aware of his presence, but this 03:07:11.860 --> 03:07:15.140 at this break, this is going to be red time when this execute hits. 03:07:15.140 --> 03:07:19.460 Quite possibly, Solotov opening pick there onto Dan, Azami removed the player that's 03:07:19.460 --> 03:07:24.020 looking to be behind that desk in a power position with those keepers as been taken 03:07:24.020 --> 03:07:25.020 out of the picture. 03:07:25.020 --> 03:07:26.780 Greede has been diffused right now, 03:07:26.780 --> 03:07:29.620 Solotov is eaten just about everything, 03:07:29.620 --> 03:07:32.100 and dies to Nakew and the Shumiko launchers. 03:07:32.100 --> 03:07:35.060 Leveled up then, 45 seconds left to go, 03:07:35.060 --> 03:07:38.460 and still there is no pace been taken out of this attack. 03:07:38.460 --> 03:07:41.180 No, Falcons are moving so slowly. 03:07:41.180 --> 03:07:43.340 LickyFack runs into two different razor blooms. 03:07:43.340 --> 03:07:45.740 He's not used to being upstairs on the second floor. 03:07:45.740 --> 03:07:47.380 He's like, there's no utility I have to worry about. 03:07:47.380 --> 03:07:48.820 I just have to get the vertical destruction, 03:07:48.820 --> 03:07:51.620 direct line on the roar, a kick-fire headshot. 03:07:51.620 --> 03:07:54.340 Just like that, Falcons back in the race. 03:07:54.340 --> 03:07:55.880 only 25 seconds left. 03:07:55.880 --> 03:07:59.040 Naeqo and Skye's both low with these canisters. 03:07:59.040 --> 03:08:00.600 They've got to bring out the guns. 03:08:00.600 --> 03:08:03.520 The LMG, it's been good for two so far to Chonka 03:08:03.520 --> 03:08:05.080 with 15 seconds remaining. 03:08:05.080 --> 03:08:07.800 The first line of defense, him and Pasha 03:08:07.800 --> 03:08:10.280 setting up the crossfire, but again with no utility, 03:08:10.280 --> 03:08:12.200 the defense has to play this with guns. 03:08:12.200 --> 03:08:13.440 They've got to win these fights 03:08:13.440 --> 03:08:15.440 and they couldn't win one if their whole life 03:08:15.440 --> 03:08:16.880 was on the line. 03:08:16.880 --> 03:08:19.680 Virtus Pro now on elimination point. 03:08:19.680 --> 03:08:22.200 Falcons up six to four. 03:08:22.200 --> 03:08:26.560 users and leaky fat covering the plant as it's going down. 03:08:26.560 --> 03:08:28.680 Basically body blocking there, 03:08:28.680 --> 03:08:30.360 not wanting to leave anything to chance. 03:08:30.360 --> 03:08:32.400 One stray bullet, 03:08:32.400 --> 03:08:35.060 and it would have opened the door for Virtus Pro. 03:08:35.060 --> 03:08:38.240 As it stands, they need two rounds here 03:08:38.240 --> 03:08:40.120 to take us to an overtime. 03:08:40.120 --> 03:08:41.880 I'll be honest, I'm for an overtime. 03:08:41.880 --> 03:08:43.480 This has been a banger series. 03:08:43.480 --> 03:08:45.840 Let's just have it all at this point. 03:08:45.840 --> 03:08:47.840 I'm sure folk can feel very differently, 03:08:47.840 --> 03:08:49.840 and they are gonna wanna try and convert this 03:08:49.840 --> 03:08:51.320 as soon as possible. 03:08:51.320 --> 03:09:02.020 But they found that spark again, the spark that we saw on Chalet, those attacks, that teamwork, the synergy, the plan, it has all been working it, it's all been clicking here so far. 03:09:03.820 --> 03:09:06.720 But also look at these defenses from Virtus Pro. 03:09:07.220 --> 03:09:18.420 It was almost basically the exact same kind of finish as we saw in round 7, both the smoke and the Tachanka using all of their utility by the time Falcons went for the plant. 03:09:18.420 --> 03:09:22.980 So, when they go tucked in that corner, the main thing we see is a smoke landing, a rush 03:09:22.980 --> 03:09:25.100 of Mika being banked across, and the plant being denied. 03:09:25.100 --> 03:09:28.580 When you don't have that, you're kind of screwed. 03:09:28.580 --> 03:09:34.900 You can't go flank around from the skybridge stairs and run through ox and backstab them. 03:09:34.900 --> 03:09:37.460 They tried that site three times. 03:09:37.460 --> 03:09:40.180 They lost it three times. 03:09:40.180 --> 03:09:47.820 And basically the same way each time, particularly the first and the last one as well, Vertus 03:09:47.820 --> 03:09:54.380 Virtus.pro have been consistent, but so far in SLC, Virtus.pro have been a bit predictable 03:09:54.380 --> 03:09:58.900 and it seems Falcons have begun to figure that out because I know for a fact that they 03:09:58.900 --> 03:10:02.780 were keeping track of the site rotation and they knew that the next site was going to 03:10:02.780 --> 03:10:07.300 be basement because when you're down 6-4, this is the only one VP have taken a victory 03:10:07.300 --> 03:10:08.300 on. 03:10:08.300 --> 03:10:11.900 And it felt like a bit of a lash out round as well from Falcons. 03:10:11.900 --> 03:10:15.940 They got a little bit of control early on, they maybe got a bit of a false sense of security. 03:10:15.940 --> 03:10:19.840 Then we kind of just saw people trying to walk in and trying to make something happen 03:10:19.840 --> 03:10:25.200 They lost the opening pick they lost three day on the blackbeard and that was really the big part of it that pushing power 03:10:25.200 --> 03:10:29.000 It just entirely disappeared read it again going to be playing on this blackbeard 03:10:29.000 --> 03:10:35.240 I hope he's going to keep himself a bit further away from Rorick and not try and close that gap anytime soon because that was 03:10:35.420 --> 03:10:39.760 That was the recipe that was the downfall good info being had on the drone right now skies 03:10:40.040 --> 03:10:42.580 Just gets forced off by the maid uses 03:10:42.580 --> 03:10:45.380 He knows that somebody is going to be inside the barrels at the moment. 03:10:45.380 --> 03:10:46.380 It is going to be Rorik. 03:10:46.380 --> 03:10:50.900 He just needs to wait for Breide to get into position and maybe try and pinch this player 03:10:50.900 --> 03:10:51.900 together. 03:10:51.900 --> 03:10:55.580 They've had information for a while now. 03:10:55.580 --> 03:10:58.300 The almost half the round has transpired. 03:10:58.300 --> 03:11:01.860 Got three players, Nade moving in. 03:11:01.860 --> 03:11:02.860 They'll hit by a Gershmot. 03:11:02.860 --> 03:11:04.220 He just can't provide the support. 03:11:04.220 --> 03:11:05.940 He otherwise would like impact a close quarters. 03:11:05.940 --> 03:11:08.980 We'll do actually more damage to Rorik than it did to Breide in turn. 03:11:08.980 --> 03:11:13.660 No gun flying around the corner to provide support for the shield, so, but the Azami and the Malusi. 03:11:13.660 --> 03:11:20.160 Taking shelter, taking refuge inside of the site, and basically every defender, now shoulder-width apart. 03:11:20.160 --> 03:11:24.920 Pasha, I think the only one who's a little bit further up than he even then, he's by blue stairs. 03:11:24.920 --> 03:11:27.960 Valkyries, had by the same token, taken some aggressive control. 03:11:29.160 --> 03:11:33.960 So let's off a bit of a danger man for me. He's looking to make his way in through Miss Island. Toxin right now. 03:11:33.960 --> 03:11:38.160 Skye's gonna be dug in there. He has a bit of support from Rorik, but other than that, 03:11:38.160 --> 03:11:44.260 Fairly on his own right now. As you said, a bit of a line being drawn in the sand right now for these VP defenders 03:11:44.260 --> 03:11:50.960 and you used it to be the first one to fall, solid soft, the danger man, as predicted, will deliver and he takes Pasha down. 03:11:51.460 --> 03:11:55.060 Just his line directly on the rotate, June with the pistol, good for another. 03:11:55.660 --> 03:12:00.860 And the vertical angle is still continuing with his work, using the sledgehammer. Now Breede moves in. 03:12:01.360 --> 03:12:07.760 A dangerous spot as Rorik falls and Neko without utility has so much to do! 03:12:07.760 --> 03:12:14.780 Famous for the shield. It's got to be the SMG-11 we know him for. As the plant goes down successfully, he's spotted one. 03:12:15.900 --> 03:12:19.020 What is Breeday going to expose himself to the ADS? 03:12:19.340 --> 03:12:24.420 If you're counting shots, you know that shotgun's got to switch around the corner. He lands it. 03:12:24.420 --> 03:12:33.300 It wouldn't be main stage without Falcons and VP. Your next team eliminated from Salt Lake City in this new look 03:12:33.300 --> 03:12:39.180 needs a little bit more work. A ball in after that from VP but the storyline here is Falcons. 03:12:39.180 --> 03:12:48.420 Bit of a change. No Shaco anymore, it's June. But still as formidable and still making main stages. 03:12:48.420 --> 03:12:59.380 Nothing else to do really if you're Falcons. This Org has a pedigree, it has a reputation. Say 03:12:59.380 --> 03:13:09.380 They were you will, they might have struggled to get it over the finish line, but not many teams can say they have been second in as many grand finals as they have been over the past few years. 03:13:11.380 --> 03:13:21.380 It would be quite strange if we didn't have them on the main stage at Salt Lake City. We also would be quite strange with Brazil leaving so many gaps in the line up as Faze the only team making it. 03:13:21.380 --> 03:13:26.820 it. If all things didn't take that opportunity to maybe have a good shot at closing things 03:13:26.820 --> 03:13:29.940 out we've seen them struggle before and struggle they have Holly it's been a rough tournament 03:13:29.940 --> 03:13:33.540 for them so far at least by their standards. It has I think the Falcons are going to be happy 03:13:33.540 --> 03:13:37.940 to put this to the stage behind them and just focus on the live stage from here because things 03:13:37.940 --> 03:13:42.740 have been tough. They've suffered some embarrassing losses but they've also bounced back and they've 03:13:42.740 --> 03:13:45.380 shown us what they are capable of as a team. 03:13:51.380 --> 03:13:58.980 Obviously, sportsmanship by both sides. It was a good performance by Virtus.Pro. 03:13:58.980 --> 03:14:03.980 All of these games were close. Three mappers against G2, three maps against Falcons. 03:14:03.980 --> 03:14:09.280 Close games against Shopify. Win or lose, Virtus.Pro have fought very hard for every single bit. 03:14:09.280 --> 03:14:14.080 Just unfortunate not enough to get to main stage. Falcons are your next team to qualify to main stage. 03:14:14.080 --> 03:14:16.980 We've got two more best of threes coming up right after this. 03:14:21.380 --> 03:14:23.380 Use back on top though. 03:19:21.380 --> 03:19:41.900 A big win for Falcons. 03:19:41.900 --> 03:19:44.340 They make the main stage, Jume. 03:19:44.340 --> 03:19:48.940 This matchup was, I mean it was so storybook because we saw them beat you not too long ago 03:19:48.940 --> 03:19:53.380 and kickoff what was different this time? I think since that game we have just 03:19:53.380 --> 03:19:57.820 been improving after every loss like every loss we just like learn something 03:19:57.820 --> 03:20:00.220 new and I think we're still just getting better and that's why we beat them today. 03:20:00.220 --> 03:20:04.100 Does it feel like you're also getting more used to this team and building that 03:20:04.100 --> 03:20:08.820 synergy? 100% yeah it's so good playing like next to each other just build so much 03:20:08.820 --> 03:20:12.180 synergy. Well talk to me about the main stage your first chance to compete with 03:20:12.180 --> 03:20:15.700 this team on the main stage it'll be an incredible experience for you I'm sure 03:20:15.700 --> 03:20:19.820 anyone you're looking forward to beating out there. I think mainly face and 03:20:19.820 --> 03:20:23.620 getting that revenge. Yeah, yeah. That would be nice. Incredible. Well we look 03:20:23.620 --> 03:20:26.940 forward to seeing you out there. Jume congratulations on the win. We'll see you 03:20:26.940 --> 03:20:29.580 on Friday. 03:20:45.700 --> 03:20:55.460 Here with VP, after the loss, Dan, a hard fought game, you guys take it deep to map 3. 03:20:55.460 --> 03:21:00.100 I talked with Falcons, you guys obviously beat them before in kickoff. 03:21:00.100 --> 03:21:01.880 What was different this time? 03:21:01.880 --> 03:21:03.980 What went wrong for you? 03:21:03.980 --> 03:21:10.860 I think, of course, in Majors is a different game than during the regular season, but from 03:21:10.860 --> 03:21:15.060 My perspective was just about experience. 03:21:15.060 --> 03:21:19.860 It's like the first major for our team, not for me and Pasha, of course, but for our team overall. 03:21:19.860 --> 03:21:26.560 And I think maybe me and Pasha didn't step up too much on this last map. 03:21:26.560 --> 03:21:31.360 Personally, I think I will blame myself for the difference, because I could do a lot better, 03:21:31.360 --> 03:21:35.160 even though they full counter me and stuff, but I need to do better these moments. 03:21:35.160 --> 03:21:40.260 But I'm proud of the team, we lost fighting, we didn't lose like 0-7, 0-7 and get home. 03:21:40.260 --> 03:21:47.900 I hope we made our fans a little bit proud at least, and yeah, I think that's it. 03:21:47.900 --> 03:21:52.460 Well, when you say they were hard countering you, what were they doing specifically that 03:21:52.460 --> 03:21:54.740 got you in such tough spots? 03:21:54.740 --> 03:21:57.500 I mean, it's just not like just me. 03:21:57.500 --> 03:22:03.860 Because we played in the last one, they saw a layer, they know exact positions, they know 03:22:03.860 --> 03:22:08.660 our strong positions on this map, so they were ready for that, not giving some stupid 03:22:08.660 --> 03:22:15.220 kills to us and that's it and basically we were trying to like react to it of 03:22:15.220 --> 03:22:19.940 course but I think we did some good adaptations but inside these adaptations 03:22:19.940 --> 03:22:25.100 we didn't play our maximum we could do better I think like the minimum of this 03:22:25.100 --> 03:22:28.460 pump should be overtime but this is what it is. Well tell me a little bit more you 03:22:28.460 --> 03:22:33.060 said this was the first major together as a team overall are you proud of what 03:22:33.060 --> 03:22:36.300 you've been able to accomplish getting as far along as you did in Salt Lake? 03:22:36.300 --> 03:22:41.060 Yeah, of course, I'm proud of everyone from my team, like big respect to them 03:22:41.700 --> 03:22:44.780 We fought till the end. That's the main thing. Like I don't care if I lose 03:22:45.340 --> 03:22:50.180 Any game, but if I lost that game fighting that's experience if I just lose 7-0 03:22:50.740 --> 03:22:54.460 Be just because we are worse. It's not experience that game was experience for us 03:22:54.460 --> 03:22:59.260 Like all our losses on the story into your experience for us. So only we can get better from there 03:22:59.820 --> 03:23:02.580 Amazing what we look forward to seeing you at future events down the line 03:23:02.580 --> 03:23:06.620 Thank you so much for being a part of this one. VP, of course, will be sent home 03:23:06.620 --> 03:23:11.660 and we will see Falcons a little later on down the road. Coming up next, it's our APL matchup. 03:23:11.660 --> 03:23:14.460 We've got two teams on the verge of making some history, 03:23:14.460 --> 03:23:18.300 so we're going to step aside for a moment and get that match started when we come back. 03:23:32.580 --> 03:23:35.580 What are you gonna do if I don't tell me you couldn't be gone? 03:23:36.580 --> 03:23:38.580 You're gonna take it to action 03:23:40.580 --> 03:23:41.580 You want that action? 03:23:42.580 --> 03:23:44.580 Lights, lights, camera, kill 03:23:45.580 --> 03:23:46.580 You want that action? 03:23:47.580 --> 03:23:48.580 You want that action? 03:27:02.580 --> 03:27:11.180 Three years ago, my heart specifically was broken because I landed on a flight back 03:27:11.180 --> 03:27:16.260 from Copenhagen and saw that SSG had lost an event, or not an event, well yes, an event 03:27:16.260 --> 03:27:20.140 technically, and SCARS had made Main Stage back at the Copenhagen Major. 03:27:20.140 --> 03:27:26.140 Since then, it has been three years and now we are guaranteed an APL team on Main Stage 03:27:26.140 --> 03:27:27.140 Ollie. 03:27:27.140 --> 03:27:31.340 On one side from OSU, we have Enterprise, and on the other, we have Webu Gaming, who, 03:27:31.340 --> 03:27:35.940 I have to say, it reminded me of a lot of that Atlanta roster, that Bleed roster that made a run so long ago. 03:27:35.940 --> 03:27:40.620 Yeah, a little bit. And like you say, a big moment here for APL in general. 03:27:40.620 --> 03:27:46.820 For anyone unfamiliar, APL, they get spots based on performance, so the performance of this game in particular 03:27:46.820 --> 03:27:52.220 is going to be pretty important to determine which teams qualify directly or which regions, more specifically, 03:27:52.220 --> 03:27:55.060 get direct qualification into the Japan Major. 03:27:55.060 --> 03:27:59.820 That is also in conjunction with another tournament, EWC, so there is a little bit of crossover there. 03:27:59.820 --> 03:28:05.620 But the ultimate point to be made is we all know majors equal SI qualification points. 03:28:05.620 --> 03:28:08.700 And SI qualification points is what everybody is fighting for. 03:28:08.700 --> 03:28:14.740 That, and of course prize, credit, credit, bragging rights, it just gets added on to the pile. 03:28:14.740 --> 03:28:17.420 So an important game for this matchup for sure. 03:28:17.420 --> 03:28:23.460 And also an important game for I think both of these teams as not completely dissimilar obviously they're both in the 2-2. 03:28:23.460 --> 03:28:28.740 But Enterprise I think making a big name for themselves and putting a lot of good teams really close to the brand. 03:28:28.740 --> 03:28:33.380 We have the map Vito coming right up though as once again not to spoil things 03:28:33.500 --> 03:28:41.540 But Ollie and I will be making a one-way return trip to Fortress our by far away most common cast about this whole tournament 03:28:41.540 --> 03:28:45.740 And it is enterprises pick and we have night Haven coming up after that now Fortress 03:28:46.100 --> 03:28:53.300 Enterprise number one pref but looking at night Haven Ollie way bow are kind of good at that map massive seven and one record on there currently 03:28:53.780 --> 03:28:56.940 Granted some of that is going to be against their home region 03:28:56.940 --> 03:29:01.500 So it's going to be APL games, the quality of which as we've understood is very different when you get to a major 03:29:01.500 --> 03:29:05.380 But there's still some key vitres in there that they've had and they have played at this tournament as well 03:29:05.380 --> 03:29:07.780 We'll get a little bit more into labs when we start 03:29:07.780 --> 03:29:09.340 But we can't seem to get away from it 03:29:09.340 --> 03:29:15.340 It's the elephant in our room at the moment and that is fortress has been incredibly popular 03:29:15.820 --> 03:29:21.500 Throughout the Salt Lake City major and again, it's one that we've ended up casting a lot. I don't mind it in particular 03:29:21.500 --> 03:29:32.300 I think the way that it plays, it's certainly suited Enterprise when they've played it so far, this competition being Edward Gaming on it, 7-2, a good record inside of Oast as well. 03:29:32.300 --> 03:29:36.300 Recent history for Weibo on it, so I can only expect that we're going to see another good game. 03:29:36.300 --> 03:29:40.700 I can only expect that this is going to be a good series, an entertaining series. 03:29:40.700 --> 03:29:48.300 Enterprise on one side, who are pretty much living in the all-chat for the first half of every map that they play. 03:29:48.300 --> 03:29:53.180 And Waybo Gabing, who I think for a lot of us, are still living in our hearts. 03:29:53.180 --> 03:29:58.860 We remember when Reeps really first launched onto the scene in 2022 and 2023. 03:29:58.860 --> 03:30:04.460 We remember when Turd was also an all-chat warrior all the way back in Atlanta. 03:30:04.460 --> 03:30:06.140 Both of these teams have entertained us. 03:30:06.140 --> 03:30:11.020 Both these players across rosters have entertained us so many times over the past three years. 03:30:11.020 --> 03:30:12.700 And one is guaranteed to make it. 03:30:12.700 --> 03:30:16.380 And as always, the cost is that one must go home. 03:30:16.380 --> 03:30:20.740 Fortress being our first map the band phase will begin and end just like that 03:30:20.980 --> 03:30:25.580 Snake and Monty is our attacking band some of the most band attackers at the tournament now that's surprising 03:30:25.580 --> 03:30:30.820 But on the flip side clash not as bad as often as you think but Goyo has the follow-up after that 03:30:30.980 --> 03:30:33.900 Yeah, Goyo coming out there. It's just a bit of a area denial 03:30:34.460 --> 03:30:39.900 We've seen already how valuable those walking packs can be and not how difficult they can be to deal with 03:30:39.900 --> 03:30:45.680 But it's just another process that teams are choosing to not want to go through very similar to people choosing to get rid of 03:30:45.680 --> 03:30:48.520 electrification. It's just a process that they do not want to go through. 03:30:48.520 --> 03:30:52.760 Electrification available here, still not being played so go figure. But we do have 03:30:52.760 --> 03:30:57.080 a little bit of denial or a little bit of slow utility in the form of leaks and 03:30:57.080 --> 03:31:01.200 those Zoto canisters I'm sure will see those used as well throughout. Little bit of 03:31:01.200 --> 03:31:04.760 shield plate to kick things off here. Garo gonna be rocking onto that blitz. 03:31:04.760 --> 03:31:09.120 Place to watch if you're new to Enterprise. Keep your very firm eye on 03:31:09.120 --> 03:31:15.240 players like Brendo. A big performer, a consistent performer on this roster at 03:31:15.240 --> 03:31:20.000 the moment someone else to keep an eye on is Jigsaw but however the consistency 03:31:20.000 --> 03:31:24.320 it's a little bit more hit or miss when it comes to them and in games where we 03:31:24.320 --> 03:31:27.440 see Enterprise do very well Jigsaw usually has a good time of things if he 03:31:27.440 --> 03:31:31.960 struggles it tends to be a signal that the rest of the team is also struggling 03:31:31.960 --> 03:31:35.760 a little bit and we see those games go a little bit less well for them. Is it going 03:31:35.760 --> 03:31:40.080 to be a hot or not day only time will tell? Ellen Surprise starting off here on 03:31:40.080 --> 03:31:43.200 the attack and they're going to be going through the motions taking a little bit 03:31:43.200 --> 03:31:46.720 control on that top floor and a good old bit of focus toward old tower. 03:31:46.720 --> 03:31:51.360 And a bit of focus on the flip side for some of the players as well that you should watch 03:31:51.360 --> 03:31:52.360 for. 03:31:52.360 --> 03:31:53.360 Weibo Gaming. 03:31:53.360 --> 03:31:57.040 Hoven had an unbelievable day yesterday. 03:31:57.040 --> 03:32:01.960 It was an 8-7, 8-6, and then 7-1 map on Fortress for Weibo. 03:32:01.960 --> 03:32:07.040 But Hoven throughout the entire series, not only dropping 17 kills on the first map, not 03:32:07.040 --> 03:32:13.160 only dropping 16 on the second map, ended the entire series with 43 kills in total. 03:32:13.160 --> 03:32:18.360 total coming the highest rated player not only on Waybo but in this entire lobby 03:32:18.360 --> 03:32:24.460 important player to watch an impactful player at that. At least at the moment, 03:32:24.460 --> 03:32:27.140 we're playing Malusi, he's really not the most exciting operator to talk about, but 03:32:27.140 --> 03:32:30.380 we might see some impact for him in the late round as Enterprise are taking 03:32:30.380 --> 03:32:34.100 things slow not only with the Blitz shield by the way but the Fuse shield as 03:32:34.100 --> 03:32:37.900 well. No, AK-12 actually. Just bringing that for the cluster charges. Fuse play for 03:32:37.900 --> 03:32:40.540 the love of the game, that one. Yeah that would have been a giga-troll I think 03:32:40.540 --> 03:32:43.660 it's in the future. We're not that down bad just yet. There's still a black bit of it, 03:32:43.660 --> 03:32:47.580 a little goodness sake. Two-ham, going to be using that secondary utility as well. Of course, 03:32:47.580 --> 03:32:52.140 Fuse, brilliant at opening things up and brilliant at destroying as well. You can already see some 03:32:52.140 --> 03:32:56.300 of those cluster charges going off and just getting rid of a myriad of utility, whether that's 03:32:56.300 --> 03:33:00.620 going to be Ella Banshees, whether it's going to be, sorry, Ella Banshees, Malusi Banshees, 03:33:00.620 --> 03:33:05.900 or Ella Grismos, either or Bulletproof Cameras as well, always a good target for that utility. 03:33:05.900 --> 03:33:10.220 And it does a good job of clearing people out of position. Barbed wire, that's a bit of a nightmare 03:33:10.220 --> 03:33:15.200 now fuses a pretty good pick I think if they weren't as slow it'd be played far 03:33:15.200 --> 03:33:20.060 more often however two hand willing to deal with the slightly sluggish speed in 03:33:20.060 --> 03:33:24.860 order to gain some good advantage maybe even gonna try and get rid of this 03:33:24.860 --> 03:33:30.140 Zotocaster oh it looked like the cluster charge got frozen even though it wasn't 03:33:30.140 --> 03:33:36.260 gonna get frozen and now it's just like a weird sort of passive state but his 03:33:36.260 --> 03:33:39.140 breach went off which is the big news did take a little bit of damage for it 03:33:39.140 --> 03:33:44.960 But that's going to be a big part of this push and I start to wonder why the way we have to go at the moment because 03:33:45.140 --> 03:33:49.660 There's no real way to hide everyone inside of either bathroom or museum at the minute 03:33:49.940 --> 03:33:54.580 C4's ripped and ready and the first kills coming in that first kill both team get somebody 03:33:55.300 --> 03:34:00.440 Brenda and speak easy trading death C4 out will force Cairo out of position 03:34:00.440 --> 03:34:02.540 They'll try again another C4 03:34:02.540 --> 03:34:07.540 It is basically just trade city in terms of utility terms of kills neither team able to get a quick advantage 03:34:07.540 --> 03:34:14.740 but Tuhan, another big player for Enterprise against SR yesterday, gets two kills to seal the deal on this diffuser. 03:34:14.740 --> 03:34:18.740 Hoven, who I highlighted earlier, might find a cheeky little one-tap right here, 03:34:18.740 --> 03:34:23.040 but even if he does, so much has to go, Waybo's way, for them to close out this round. 03:34:23.040 --> 03:34:27.740 Spotting a little bit of Tuhan, starting a little bit of the Blitz as well, but Jigsaw coming in, 03:34:27.740 --> 03:34:32.740 some saving graces, making sure Ape can stay alive towards the end of the round, 03:34:32.740 --> 03:34:35.940 or actually, no, sheltering him into an early death, doesn't want to save the other team, 03:34:35.940 --> 03:34:38.900 Instead, they dash Wave-O's hopes and take the first round. 03:34:38.900 --> 03:34:41.220 I really liked the way that they paced out the utility there. 03:34:41.220 --> 03:34:44.580 And surprise, such a good job of baiting out those C4s. 03:34:44.580 --> 03:34:47.620 The C4 bait being the bigger portion of that. 03:34:47.620 --> 03:34:51.380 But what was really nice was that once the C4s were baited out, 03:34:51.380 --> 03:34:53.620 that's when we saw the Capitile utility used. 03:34:53.620 --> 03:34:55.060 That's when we saw, right, 03:34:55.060 --> 03:34:57.780 if no C4s left, they can't just throw it from 03:34:57.780 --> 03:34:59.060 sat behind a half wall. 03:34:59.060 --> 03:35:00.260 Now they're going to have to swing us. 03:35:00.260 --> 03:35:01.140 So what are we going to do? 03:35:01.140 --> 03:35:02.580 We're going to use our Capitile utility. 03:35:02.580 --> 03:35:04.500 And it was just really well sequenced. 03:35:04.500 --> 03:35:05.460 You don't always see that. 03:35:05.460 --> 03:35:12.020 It can be a very subtle thing, but the sequencing of utility working very well for Enterprise and a good pace overall 03:35:12.500 --> 03:35:18.420 to round top through bottom. They brought the fuse and I think that was a brilliant way of trying to deal with not only the Zotocanus 03:35:18.420 --> 03:35:24.500 It's helping get the wall open, but it just has that secondary effect, that bonus of getting rid of a lot of utility as well 03:35:24.500 --> 03:35:26.980 because there is no telling where those clusterpunks are gonna go. 03:35:27.300 --> 03:35:32.180 No, you always gotta be careful. You kind of give it a wide berth before you end up moving into the room. 03:35:32.180 --> 03:35:37.180 Make sure they clear out all that utility and make sure you aren't anywhere near where it's going off. 03:35:37.180 --> 03:35:42.180 Jon picks it for a second, then switches back to the Deimos, a much more traditional pick. 03:35:42.180 --> 03:35:50.180 And it seems like we are just going to roll the dice and pick some of the most annoying and most picked operators at the whole tournament. 03:35:50.180 --> 03:35:52.180 Ying glass combo, you got it. 03:35:52.180 --> 03:35:56.180 Shield, how about a Blitz, and then Deimos rounding out the operator lineup. 03:35:56.180 --> 03:36:00.180 There's also a Zofia. She is present. 03:36:00.180 --> 03:36:04.180 present but for the rest across the board it is a lot of cheesy utility that 03:36:04.180 --> 03:36:08.640 Enterprise have to make use of to target some of these important players might be 03:36:08.640 --> 03:36:12.580 holding some important power positions which was basically all of Weibo's 03:36:12.580 --> 03:36:15.420 defense in the last round which is holding their positions playing close 03:36:15.420 --> 03:36:19.580 together and there is so much utility for Enterprise that is built to dismantle 03:36:19.580 --> 03:36:22.140 that exact kind of strategy. They've got the right utility for that haven't they? 03:36:22.140 --> 03:36:29.980 Lifelines, the Incandellas, even the Blitz to a degree. The players buddied up, this is a 03:36:29.980 --> 03:36:36.140 good set of tools to find them and root them out. Cairo, I'm just going to be throwing in a smoke. 03:36:36.140 --> 03:36:39.580 It's going to be something that Bapping can start to try and peek on through. And as that's 03:36:39.580 --> 03:36:43.740 happening, well elsewhere, we've got drops and we've got flooding into sight. Cairo, 03:36:43.740 --> 03:36:47.740 wasting no time here taking loads of ground quickly. We'll find in a couple of problems. 03:36:47.740 --> 03:36:52.460 A couple of problems, namely one player in front and one player behind. He's the first one to go 03:36:52.460 --> 03:36:58.060 down. Enterprise been good for the trade so far. But when they came out last time, they were able 03:36:58.060 --> 03:37:01.960 able to quickly move it into a defuse plant. We'll end a minute 49 seconds and 03:37:01.960 --> 03:37:06.940 oh we're way away from the side to on the next to fall back and also as it 03:37:06.940 --> 03:37:11.100 seems, Weibo got the message and playing a little bit further up than they were 03:37:11.100 --> 03:37:16.240 before. Not too far, just a couple rooms away. That's enough to make a difference. 03:37:16.240 --> 03:37:20.460 The Enterprise think they can take things quick and run straight into a 03:37:20.460 --> 03:37:24.860 three-way crossfire basically for Weibo. One of the insane things about 03:37:24.860 --> 03:37:27.500 Enterprise as well is that when you get little quiet portions in the round like 03:37:27.500 --> 03:37:29.500 where Jigsaw's just holding an angle, Brendo. 03:37:29.500 --> 03:37:31.500 They're kind of baiting, seeing what's happened. 03:37:31.500 --> 03:37:34.500 The two of them just fires up the old chap, 03:37:35.500 --> 03:37:36.500 baits someone into peeking. 03:37:36.500 --> 03:37:38.500 Surely an old chap for that one. 03:37:39.500 --> 03:37:41.500 Maybe an old chap after the fight. 03:37:42.500 --> 03:37:43.500 Hello there! 03:37:46.500 --> 03:37:47.500 Is that remaining? 03:37:48.500 --> 03:37:50.500 Good spot, another right here, actually, Brendo. 03:37:50.500 --> 03:37:51.500 Oh! 03:37:51.500 --> 03:37:53.500 I actually did think you'd get that. 03:37:53.500 --> 03:37:55.500 I was kind of humoring it, but... 03:37:55.500 --> 03:37:58.220 but a snappy shot on the Hovin. 03:37:58.220 --> 03:38:02.340 Now we find ourselves in a 2v2, you can see why Enterprise have gone silent. 03:38:02.340 --> 03:38:06.540 It's that bait time, isn't it? The diffuser's cold. 03:38:06.540 --> 03:38:10.420 That's gonna be their biggest problem right now. You've got a bit of info on the drone and now they know where Turd is. 03:38:10.420 --> 03:38:13.700 All they need to find out is where Ape is playing. 03:38:13.700 --> 03:38:18.620 Seven shumikas. Not a lot, really. Especially if you're gonna fluff one onto your own feet. 03:38:18.620 --> 03:38:22.820 Basically shut yourself off and peek in at angle, but if you have the mission stay alive, 03:38:22.820 --> 03:38:25.820 and your blessing in disguise forces you to play reserved. 03:38:25.820 --> 03:38:28.820 But Brendo has taken control off the back of it. 03:38:28.820 --> 03:38:30.820 They still lack that diffuser. 03:38:30.820 --> 03:38:32.820 Ape and Turt have crossed fire on that position. 03:38:32.820 --> 03:38:35.820 Both side waiting to see who blinks Brendo, a crazy prefire. 03:38:35.820 --> 03:38:38.820 Now moved into a 1v1 underrated player, 03:38:38.820 --> 03:38:41.820 but now handicapped by the Razorbloom, 7 seconds remaining. 03:38:41.820 --> 03:38:48.820 As Ape lights up his retreat, Brendo, there is just no way in heaven or on earth 03:38:48.820 --> 03:38:51.820 he can catch up to the Tachanka. 03:38:51.820 --> 03:38:57.980 In MVP, Razor Bloom, three minutes after it got placed, Wayboat get there first. 03:38:57.980 --> 03:39:03.060 For it to all come down to a Razor Bloom of all things, and hey, guess what, you only 03:39:03.060 --> 03:39:06.060 need to once you make a launch, you'd love to win the round, because he just has to block 03:39:06.060 --> 03:39:12.460 off the corridor. Nothing you can do about that. Maybe rotate back inside, maybe pick 03:39:12.460 --> 03:39:19.060 up with a fuse, and maybe bait them in, but that is a bit of a tall ask, Brenda. Really 03:39:19.060 --> 03:39:23.820 Shot said the second one on to turd. I mean, I'm surprised that's passed without comment 03:39:25.580 --> 03:39:27.580 He was kind of busy there's a guy right around 03:39:28.060 --> 03:39:30.060 There's been time 03:39:32.380 --> 03:39:37.420 Yeah, but a whole prep phase and we can confirm aside from one errant comment by jigsaw really not a whole lot of talk in the old chat 03:39:38.500 --> 03:39:40.500 one one 03:39:41.420 --> 03:39:44.580 Just a little bit of an exchange at the beginning of fortress 03:39:44.580 --> 03:39:50.580 As it feels like we've been in this part of the map for every single round. 03:39:50.580 --> 03:39:54.580 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. 03:39:55.580 --> 03:40:01.580 Pretty weighted change from Enterprise though. Going for the full line-up six-pick. 03:40:01.580 --> 03:40:07.580 Going into a maverick of all things. Typically if you see a maverick, you'd expect to see a glass, 03:40:07.580 --> 03:40:11.580 because some of those murder holes that the maverick can make can be pretty handy 03:40:11.580 --> 03:40:16.300 handy if you can place smoke behind them and have a glass just peeking on through. We don't have that. 03:40:17.340 --> 03:40:21.740 We do have secondary heart breach in Bappent as well. This is going to be something very specific 03:40:21.740 --> 03:40:25.900 that they're trying to go for. Now we've seen Enterprise move quickly and we've seen them move 03:40:25.900 --> 03:40:32.540 slowly. Maybe we've adapted very well to the quicker of those two play styles so far. So 03:40:32.540 --> 03:40:36.940 Enterprise likely gonna just take the foot off the gas ever so slightly here. They don't need 03:40:36.940 --> 03:40:40.940 to be really rushing in and making something happen. They've already proved that they can 03:40:40.940 --> 03:40:44.820 can systematically take part, take apart some of these defensive setups. 03:40:46.420 --> 03:40:50.820 And here, at least round number three, it looks like we are going to be going with one of those slightly slower play styles. 03:40:50.820 --> 03:40:52.260 Nice line, just made. 03:40:53.340 --> 03:40:57.020 It's gonna give a bit of a cut-through through no man's land. 03:40:59.660 --> 03:41:00.980 Just a little bit of a line for Two-Hong. 03:41:02.900 --> 03:41:04.500 Hopping to reinforce in the wall, backing up. 03:41:04.500 --> 03:41:06.860 There's another exchange between Cairo and Reeps. 03:41:06.860 --> 03:41:09.500 But no trade necessary. 03:41:09.500 --> 03:41:10.500 This go around. 03:41:10.500 --> 03:41:12.700 As the Blitz just wins it outright. 03:41:12.700 --> 03:41:16.580 And then a prize, first time with a 5v4. 03:41:16.580 --> 03:41:20.060 Take their time with it. 03:41:20.060 --> 03:41:22.100 It's command defense. 03:41:22.100 --> 03:41:24.900 We've made our way through pool, made our way through dorms. 03:41:24.900 --> 03:41:28.420 But this is where we always see the defense of the attack run headlong into each other, 03:41:28.420 --> 03:41:29.420 Ollie. 03:41:29.420 --> 03:41:32.460 This is where the bulk of the fights inevitably occur. 03:41:32.460 --> 03:41:33.460 Another line made. 03:41:33.460 --> 03:41:36.820 Two players sticking their face in this hole and Huffin still walks in front of it. 03:41:36.820 --> 03:41:42.220 Can't quite confirm the kill with the guns, then AID will get the job done, and it's a 5v3 for Enterprise. 03:41:42.220 --> 03:41:46.120 It's the oldest trick in the book, isn't it? Maverick Hall, don't go near it. If you see it, just run. 03:41:46.120 --> 03:41:50.520 You are probably being watched as you speak, as you sit there. 03:41:51.020 --> 03:41:53.620 Hover not realizing, not getting the memo. 03:41:54.420 --> 03:41:57.320 Two picks, as the openers here for Enterprise. 03:41:58.020 --> 03:42:01.820 It's surely not just gonna win the whole round through Maverick lines and walls. 03:42:01.820 --> 03:42:07.260 Ape, they've been giving that opportunity away a little bit here, he is going to be challenging 03:42:07.260 --> 03:42:08.260 on to that. 03:42:08.260 --> 03:42:12.460 Smoke starts coming now as well, can't afford to just hold that one angle for the whole 03:42:12.460 --> 03:42:13.460 time. 03:42:13.460 --> 03:42:16.380 Cairo pushing in, but it's Baphin that's got the diffuser. 03:42:16.380 --> 03:42:20.260 Baphin with the diffuser, but Cairo also on low HP, you've got to be careful with this 03:42:20.260 --> 03:42:22.900 TCSG and this crossfire as a matter of fact. 03:42:22.900 --> 03:42:27.540 Here's the reload around the corner, Enterprise running away with this second attack on to 03:42:27.540 --> 03:42:28.540 command. 03:42:28.540 --> 03:42:34.300 first one required a plan it was basically a slow and very close round by the end this one 03:42:34.300 --> 03:42:40.860 how would a flawless as Cairo begins and ends things on his own terms massive impact being had there 03:42:42.940 --> 03:42:44.540 now the old chat starting to kick off 03:42:47.980 --> 03:42:51.660 jigsaw hitting third where it hurts 03:42:51.660 --> 03:43:03.260 Oh, that one's rough. That one's me. You don't have to say that. We don't have to say that. 03:43:03.260 --> 03:43:06.280 Enterprise up 2-1 though. I think there's a very good chance that 03:43:06.280 --> 03:43:12.300 maybe we just have the chat off. I think back when Ashen was like really truly 03:43:12.300 --> 03:43:16.220 an all-chat warrior, I think everyone just had chat muted against him, so Ashen was just 03:43:16.220 --> 03:43:19.900 literally typing to no one. Literally just for the audience. 03:43:19.900 --> 03:43:24.240 For us it's just for our insane which I appreciate I'll take it. I'm totally fine with that 03:43:24.240 --> 03:43:29.260 Yep, I don't need to know that the players saw it. I just need to see it. You just need to see it read 03:43:29.260 --> 03:43:31.260 I just want to know what occurred 03:43:31.260 --> 03:43:33.260 Which I appreciate 03:43:33.260 --> 03:43:39.000 One for enterprise banning out the Chonka next very popular ban today at the Chonka is which you know 03:43:39.420 --> 03:43:43.120 At first you were like what the hell and I were like, oh, of course the Chonka ban classic 03:43:43.120 --> 03:43:44.740 You must ban this against the shields 03:43:44.740 --> 03:43:50.580 Otherwise, you will have the shield knocked out from in front of you and you'll be easier to kill by Turret or Havin or anybody who's in the site 03:43:51.260 --> 03:43:54.100 It is the winning formula as well. If you look at it on paper 03:43:54.100 --> 03:43:59.180 They've played to Janker once on Dorms and Games and it's the only round that they've won so far. So 03:44:00.620 --> 03:44:08.140 You solved it cracked absolutely cracked it to on still very early days despite how the old chap may be looking here 03:44:09.100 --> 03:44:11.580 Jigsaw gonna be bringing out an oldie, but a Goldie 03:44:12.220 --> 03:44:14.220 Finca LNG 03:44:14.740 --> 03:44:21.880 Locked and loaded a hundred rounds in the mag 98 now because he spent a couple but he loads the player of here 03:44:22.380 --> 03:44:28.940 And this in conjunction with time think it anyway in conjunction with shields is a bit of a nightmare because you just get that increased 03:44:28.940 --> 03:44:30.940 ABS time so it's great with the blitz 03:44:31.540 --> 03:44:35.300 Sometimes even better with the blackbeard because you're not going to a pistol. You're going to the scum 03:44:36.060 --> 03:44:41.100 I'm gonna take it out the scarf move over your shoulder quicker ADS time very nice for that Brenda's down. I 03:44:41.100 --> 03:44:47.100 I'm not entirely sure how. I think maybe pushing the laundry position. 03:44:47.100 --> 03:44:54.100 We turgis swung, got aggressive with the shotgun. Not entirely sure, but one impact we would see is 03:44:54.100 --> 03:45:01.100 if Enterprise wanted to go for a plant, would have been able to disable the C4s that likely would have been tossed in by Turd and Speakeasy, respectively. 03:45:01.100 --> 03:45:04.100 So lacking that could be a bit of an issue, yeah. 03:45:04.100 --> 03:45:08.100 Hopping in through the single window, taken down by one pump of the shotgun. 03:45:08.100 --> 03:45:09.880 a tale as old as time, 03:45:09.880 --> 03:45:10.920 Nade over top, 03:45:10.920 --> 03:45:14.000 as Enterprise look to even things up. 03:45:14.000 --> 03:45:16.920 Reeps, then a bit of a victim in these opening duels, 03:45:16.920 --> 03:45:17.840 three rounds in a row, 03:45:17.840 --> 03:45:19.640 either the second or the first dead 03:45:19.640 --> 03:45:22.240 every single time, safe around one. 03:45:23.740 --> 03:45:24.720 And the Solus as well, 03:45:24.720 --> 03:45:26.440 can't play retake up through the top anymore, 03:45:26.440 --> 03:45:29.320 can't relay that information to the rest of the team. 03:45:29.320 --> 03:45:31.040 Little impact from Reeps, 03:45:31.040 --> 03:45:34.200 and this is the series that he needs to shine brightest in. 03:45:34.200 --> 03:45:36.040 You know them to be a very capable player. 03:45:36.040 --> 03:45:37.880 Oh, speak easy. 03:45:37.880 --> 03:45:39.080 How's he get away with that? 03:45:39.580 --> 03:45:40.080 What?! 03:45:40.080 --> 03:45:41.580 It just moved to nowhere! 03:45:41.580 --> 03:45:42.580 Hahahaha! 03:45:42.580 --> 03:45:43.580 He didn't... 03:45:43.580 --> 03:45:44.080 He didn't... 03:45:44.080 --> 03:45:46.080 He moved next door! 03:45:46.080 --> 03:45:48.080 He didn't even switch postal codes! 03:45:48.080 --> 03:45:50.080 He's in the exact same spot! 03:45:50.080 --> 03:45:52.080 He's like, if I'm not looking at him, surely he can't see me. 03:45:52.080 --> 03:45:52.580 It's like... 03:45:52.580 --> 03:45:54.080 I'm just gonna sit there and close my eyes. 03:45:54.080 --> 03:45:55.580 Surely nobody can see me. 03:45:55.580 --> 03:45:56.080 It's like a T-Rex. 03:45:56.080 --> 03:45:57.080 He only sees movement. 03:45:57.080 --> 03:45:59.080 As long as you stand still. 03:45:59.080 --> 03:46:00.080 He will not get... 03:46:00.080 --> 03:46:00.580 I was wrong. 03:46:00.580 --> 03:46:02.080 He can in fact see movement. 03:46:02.080 --> 03:46:04.580 Jigsaw with the Finka LMG gets a kill. 03:46:06.080 --> 03:46:06.580 Hovin. 03:46:06.580 --> 03:46:10.580 I straight a player in this lobby going into the matchup. We'll go down next. 03:46:10.580 --> 03:46:14.580 So it falls to Ape and Turd. 03:46:14.580 --> 03:46:18.580 Cover the 2v3. Ape with a quick swing. 03:46:18.580 --> 03:46:22.580 He quickly takes...whoa! What was that? 03:46:22.580 --> 03:46:26.580 Howl of a flick on a 2-hawn. I have no idea how he's pulled that off. 03:46:26.580 --> 03:46:30.580 And how he even is still alive? 03:46:30.580 --> 03:46:34.580 That's a question for smarter minds than me to figure out through the wall. 03:46:34.580 --> 03:46:38.260 the pistol in hand as well. If he gets this one, I don't know what I'll do, see's another 03:46:38.260 --> 03:46:43.260 in front of him! And Jigsaw domed by Viola! 03:46:43.260 --> 03:46:49.420 Boppin has got three kills, but Ape, he's got me to believe. Turd now, all he needs 03:46:49.420 --> 03:46:55.860 to do is land a C4, land a hit with a shotgun with 15 seconds remaining. Surely he's got 03:46:55.860 --> 03:47:00.660 it shot by Boppin! But only likely one attempt at this diffuser. He's got to make a decision 03:47:00.660 --> 03:47:04.540 as he play it on time as he go for the kills. Turd's making the right move. Look it up 03:47:04.540 --> 03:47:09.700 far away he is gotta run over open he falls off there's a chance he might have 03:47:09.700 --> 03:47:15.180 stuck it but not when he falls off like that turd might survive but it's Ape 03:47:15.180 --> 03:47:20.460 with the credit took on the open kill and he was surviving in the end stayed 03:47:20.460 --> 03:47:27.900 alive all he had to do was play that old bait and switch make sure that the 03:47:27.900 --> 03:47:29.900 Time did the job for him. 03:47:31.500 --> 03:47:32.900 Ape MVP. 03:47:33.300 --> 03:47:34.500 Enterprise knew where he was. 03:47:34.700 --> 03:47:37.000 They're three players converging on that one position. 03:47:38.800 --> 03:47:40.700 Tactical timeout right now from Waybee. 03:47:42.400 --> 03:47:44.000 I mean, they just won the round. 03:47:44.600 --> 03:47:46.300 But that isn't always a good indicator. 03:47:46.300 --> 03:47:50.300 We see teams quite often win the round and still the call for the tactical timeout was 03:47:50.600 --> 03:47:52.900 either made at the start or there's something a little bit deeper going on. 03:47:54.200 --> 03:47:56.300 Gohan, maybe just reminding everyone to turn off the old chat. 03:47:57.900 --> 03:48:01.220 Have to believe it's off. We've seen nobody from wave over to Spain. Yeah 03:48:02.660 --> 03:48:04.180 That was insane 03:48:04.180 --> 03:48:06.620 I'm honestly this is one of those moments where I don't even want to talk 03:48:06.620 --> 03:48:09.940 I'm just like eerily waiting to see some of those kills again because that 03:48:10.540 --> 03:48:13.840 That flick with the scorpion was nasty 03:48:14.460 --> 03:48:16.460 This one this was crazy 03:48:17.340 --> 03:48:20.060 This was just comical. Oh my god 03:48:22.020 --> 03:48:24.160 Well, I just don't know why there was so much decent 03:48:24.160 --> 03:48:30.700 It's like Bappin and Jigsaw at that point. We're just so scared to push in like if you've got 03:48:30.700 --> 03:48:36.000 Brenda or Two-Hand on the hatch, you know that the down like they've spread a whole 03:48:36.000 --> 03:48:42.520 mig of scorpion. The down to that pistol is great. Excellent pistol. Overwhelm. Don't challenge on a 03:48:42.520 --> 03:48:46.840 long angle. That pistol's arguably better at a long range angle because if you can dome ahead, 03:48:46.840 --> 03:48:48.840 Great, but if you get barrel stuffed 03:48:51.360 --> 03:48:55.560 To team tight game right now going into round five nobody 03:48:56.080 --> 03:48:59.800 Streaking the lead so far and no team chaining more than a couple of rounds together 03:49:04.200 --> 03:49:06.520 I kind of enjoy that it's like a little fireside chat 03:49:08.960 --> 03:49:13.840 We'll see wait wave who have a taking a seat rested they've gained all their HP and stamina back 03:49:16.840 --> 03:49:18.840 They regenerated their flask. 03:49:23.840 --> 03:49:25.840 Jicks are going to be rocking the dokeby. 03:49:25.840 --> 03:49:29.840 Here for round number 5. Two and again on this Maverick. 03:49:29.840 --> 03:49:36.840 Surely the Maverick lines are old news by now and not a trick that maybe we are going to fall for again. 03:49:38.840 --> 03:49:43.840 We'll be going with a similar line here although it hasn't been fully reinforced. 03:49:43.840 --> 03:49:48.240 quite like that because it makes it so difficult now to actually go and put a line in it and to 03:49:48.240 --> 03:49:52.640 remove that angle away from the defenders. And Hovind's likely going to be able to play in there 03:49:52.640 --> 03:49:58.080 for a little bit longer. Has to be pushed away for that to fully happen and take cause, but 03:49:58.080 --> 03:50:00.400 you never really know where someone's going to peek from now. 03:50:02.400 --> 03:50:05.360 And there's been a tricky position. I was just thinking about like what do you do there? 03:50:06.400 --> 03:50:10.000 What is the immediate counter for that? It seems Kyro just didn't pass it, so 03:50:10.000 --> 03:50:15.440 Not the biggest worry. Dope because he's gone out, pushing a little bit after it's ended again. 03:50:15.440 --> 03:50:18.560 Somebody who's just caught not looking the right way. 03:50:18.560 --> 03:50:24.240 Kyra, despite the fact that he's stomping around pool, Havin is very intent on his objective. 03:50:24.240 --> 03:50:28.320 And Weibo very intent on it seems giving Enterprise this round. 03:50:28.320 --> 03:50:34.720 Reeps, who has been really having a rough game so far. Again, the second dead in one of these rounds. 03:50:34.720 --> 03:50:37.840 Hoppies up! That's something. 03:50:37.840 --> 03:50:42.640 It doesn't have yellow pistol, but at least maybe you have a better chance? 03:50:42.640 --> 03:50:46.400 Because aside from that, Weibo have really struggled so far this half. 03:50:49.200 --> 03:50:51.200 They're just not showing many signs of life. 03:50:51.200 --> 03:50:53.760 I feel like the players aren't locked in, they're not switched on. 03:50:53.760 --> 03:50:58.160 People just getting shot in the back, like, it's not even like it's a slow or quiet person. 03:50:58.160 --> 03:51:00.240 It's not like you've been snuck up on by a nook. 03:51:00.240 --> 03:51:02.800 It's like people sprinting now three seconds prior. 03:51:02.800 --> 03:51:10.400 Like, have we got volume? Have we got headphones on? I don't know. Strange as well, because 03:51:10.400 --> 03:51:14.640 in some rounds they kept pace, and it looked alright. Bit of a stall out here from Enterprise, 03:51:14.640 --> 03:51:19.280 but I think we'll be the next player to fall back and seize to it. They are handily dealt 03:51:19.280 --> 03:51:24.560 with. In 50 seconds now, 5 players alive for Enterprise. This is just about going through 03:51:24.560 --> 03:51:25.560 the movie. 03:51:25.560 --> 03:51:29.240 You really don't have to do much at this point. 45 seconds remaining. Just don't, well, I 03:51:29.240 --> 03:51:32.760 was going to say be careful sticking your head in abracoles. Maybe like Kyra. Take the 03:51:32.760 --> 03:51:36.660 the charge that happens down somewhere not entirely sure but there's jigsaw 03:51:36.660 --> 03:51:39.960 there's two on there's a flawless round for enterprise all things considered 03:51:39.960 --> 03:51:44.940 very real likelihood this should be at least a 4-1 right now 3-2 given the way 03:51:44.940 --> 03:51:49.060 enterprise of playing but also given the way way bower showing up it this really 03:51:49.060 --> 03:51:52.620 has not been that close second flawless round for enterprise the only rounds 03:51:52.620 --> 03:51:56.820 that way blue of one have come off the back of clutch is I pay inside around 03:51:56.820 --> 03:52:02.420 2, 3rd, round 4, 3rd didn't even get the killing round 4, you just stayed alive. 03:52:02.420 --> 03:52:06.820 Not that that's a problem, but there's a bit of a theme generated here, isn't there? 03:52:06.820 --> 03:52:13.820 Hauvern speakeasium reaps, 3 kills between them, reaps by the way, 1600 dpi, god. 03:52:15.820 --> 03:52:21.320 Not having the desired impact, crumbling at the moment against Enterprise. 03:52:21.320 --> 03:52:24.820 If you remove those two clutches, this is a 501 half. 03:52:24.820 --> 03:52:29.820 And not a particularly close 5-0 half at that. Not even really close. 03:52:29.820 --> 03:52:33.820 Three of Oppa's kills came two rounds ago. 03:52:33.820 --> 03:52:39.820 And if you exclude those, which obviously you can't actually do that, but the numbers just get even worse. 03:52:39.820 --> 03:52:42.820 And the numbers are already quite bad, as Ollie pointed out. 03:52:42.820 --> 03:52:45.820 It's Enterprise's pick. 03:52:45.820 --> 03:52:51.820 Knighthaven obviously. Wave will have a great streak 7-1, but if they're showing up like this early on in the game, 03:52:51.820 --> 03:52:55.820 This is a hard kind of loss to bounce back from. 03:52:55.820 --> 03:52:58.820 I got the same prizes paid, and maybe we did play yesterday. 03:52:58.820 --> 03:53:00.820 We played it really well. They beat loss. 03:53:00.820 --> 03:53:03.820 7-1, by the way. Los, not a bad team. Just be clear. 03:53:03.820 --> 03:53:06.820 Hero or team liquid Alienware, for what that's worth. 03:53:06.820 --> 03:53:09.820 I don't know. I say a bit of a washed region these days. 03:53:09.820 --> 03:53:11.820 It's a bit, you know. 03:53:11.820 --> 03:53:13.820 Worth nothing, apparently. 03:53:13.820 --> 03:53:14.820 It's a bad time. 03:53:14.820 --> 03:53:17.820 There are one region team now, or a one team region. 03:53:17.820 --> 03:53:25.500 You know that the one team is the two-time world champion one of the greatest rosters ever so and the region has two of the greatest rosters ever 03:53:31.300 --> 03:53:33.300 Not takes them I 03:53:33.780 --> 03:53:37.580 Think of the way that these rounds go on and as this series develops in general 03:53:37.900 --> 03:53:39.660 We're likely to see enterprise 03:53:39.660 --> 03:53:46.380 Swell with confidence as time goes by especially if they keep finding nice catches early on into the round 03:53:47.820 --> 03:53:56.320 Reinforced action there at the top of this old tower. It's Cairo. He's just walking through with zero consequences, removing utility for fun right now. 03:53:56.320 --> 03:54:05.320 Yeah, I was going to say, I was curious by that reinforcement. Normally we see that opened up and it allows defenders to not only challenge onto the old tower, but I think it also just makes it difficult to really rotate onto the staircase. 03:54:05.320 --> 03:54:11.320 But this time it has a lot of enterprise, full entry for free by the same token. It's also given Weibo a bit more protection. 03:54:11.320 --> 03:54:13.080 We're not gonna have to take that angle. 03:54:13.080 --> 03:54:14.480 And honestly, all things considered, 03:54:14.480 --> 03:54:16.040 I don't know if gunfights really would shoot, 03:54:16.040 --> 03:54:17.160 or what Weibo should be doing. 03:54:17.160 --> 03:54:18.680 Off they go, smoke taken down. 03:54:18.680 --> 03:54:20.400 That's a big win by Hubbin. 03:54:20.400 --> 03:54:22.400 Speakeasy also getting active. 03:54:22.400 --> 03:54:23.560 Might be traded out soon after. 03:54:23.560 --> 03:54:24.600 This is the closest round, 03:54:24.600 --> 03:54:26.000 it's probably we've had for Weibo so far. 03:54:26.000 --> 03:54:27.160 Ever since round one, 03:54:27.160 --> 03:54:30.120 and that was still one they ended up losing. 03:54:30.120 --> 03:54:31.160 These rounds, other than that, 03:54:31.160 --> 03:54:33.280 their wins have both been 1v1s. 03:54:33.280 --> 03:54:34.720 Could be trending that exact same way. 03:54:34.720 --> 03:54:36.480 Hubbin with low HP. 03:54:36.480 --> 03:54:38.400 Brendo, he's got three grims. 03:54:38.400 --> 03:54:39.240 We've got two nades. 03:54:39.240 --> 03:54:42.840 got a smoke and the glass still on board Ollie there's so much for Enterprise 03:54:42.840 --> 03:54:45.720 a minute to go. Enterprise have got a lot of tools to play with haven't they? 03:54:45.720 --> 03:54:50.440 They can do, recover this diffuser fairly easily as well the razor bloom not 03:54:50.440 --> 03:54:56.080 particularly well placed, Hovins super low HP, there's a little bit split right now. 03:54:56.080 --> 03:55:01.000 Jigsaw, Bappin playing somewhat together, Brenda a little bit on this on the 03:55:01.000 --> 03:55:04.200 periphery but he's gonna be working his angle through that breach and seeing if 03:55:04.200 --> 03:55:08.400 you can catch anybody rotating off. Reeps is tucking, just the left so it's 03:55:08.400 --> 03:55:10.800 It's going to be quite difficult right now. 03:55:10.800 --> 03:55:14.240 Wabu, their strength is in not moving at the moment. 03:55:16.280 --> 03:55:17.800 It's not the only strength they have so far. 03:55:17.800 --> 03:55:19.400 Utility isn't really a factor, 03:55:19.400 --> 03:55:20.960 not all that much for this team, 03:55:20.960 --> 03:55:23.200 but staying still, playing this crossfire, 03:55:23.200 --> 03:55:24.280 that could be quite good! 03:55:24.280 --> 03:55:26.360 Ooh, neither player getting the kill there. 03:55:26.360 --> 03:55:27.920 Boppin' and Reeps just passing each other. 03:55:27.920 --> 03:55:29.040 I have no idea how neither player 03:55:29.040 --> 03:55:30.840 took a bit of damage in that engagement. 03:55:30.840 --> 03:55:32.920 And again, with no utility, no time to deny the plant, 03:55:32.920 --> 03:55:34.200 it's gotta be gunfights. 03:55:34.200 --> 03:55:35.240 They need to win this. 03:55:35.240 --> 03:55:37.040 Jigsaw and Brendo, they haven't really been losing 03:55:37.040 --> 03:55:40.960 many gunfights this tournament have they, Ollie, Brendel, with both the final kills 03:55:40.960 --> 03:55:46.600 and enterprise, a dominant lead at 4-2, and it could have been a whole heck of a lot higher 03:55:46.600 --> 03:55:48.760 than that. 03:55:48.760 --> 03:55:51.640 Deep breathing. 03:55:51.640 --> 03:55:53.640 Okay. 03:55:53.640 --> 03:55:56.000 It is 0-0. 03:55:56.000 --> 03:55:57.240 Okay. 03:55:57.240 --> 03:56:07.000 What is the focus of defense gonna be? 03:56:07.000 --> 03:56:11.440 It's going to be communication and angle delegation, okay? 03:56:11.440 --> 03:56:12.560 And wind conditions. 03:56:12.560 --> 03:56:14.560 And wind condition, okay? 03:56:14.560 --> 03:56:15.640 Those three. 03:56:15.640 --> 03:56:17.440 We just need to care, guys, please. 03:56:17.440 --> 03:56:18.840 At the start of the round, 03:56:18.840 --> 03:56:22.240 we need to care some absolute blitz bombardery 03:56:22.240 --> 03:56:24.760 or some silly rust plants, okay? 03:56:24.760 --> 03:56:26.800 So let's make sure we work together, okay? 03:56:26.800 --> 03:56:27.840 If they don't burn the class, 03:56:27.840 --> 03:56:30.480 we can spam the class because we're burning the Monty, okay? 03:56:30.480 --> 03:56:32.360 And they're going to be fucked with our shields. 03:56:32.360 --> 03:56:35.000 Let's make sure we're counting numbers, okay? 03:56:35.000 --> 03:56:40.600 these guys they like to sweep Andreas will know more than me because he did fortress okay but from 03:56:40.600 --> 03:56:47.000 what I saw they like to sweep with a floris hitting the back getting you to okay nothing we haven't 03:56:47.000 --> 03:56:51.080 seen before so make sure the side player is always ready for those works right yeah ribs on 03:56:51.080 --> 03:57:01.560 floris just working yes okay and they haven't haven't like so like as well like they are not 03:57:01.560 --> 03:57:05.940 other ones more passive so the thing is you know you need to read and have the 03:57:05.940 --> 03:57:10.460 advantage he lacks you know deep breath control the heart they will try to move 03:57:10.460 --> 03:57:14.560 they try to hit frag so punish them and yeah we're gonna ban the kate 03:57:14.560 --> 03:57:28.740 kate kate kate clash and if anyone top break can just call 03:57:28.740 --> 03:57:45.780 home and he would make for us let's go let's go let's go for it guys you can do it right now 03:57:49.380 --> 03:57:52.980 guys we're gonna see the bands right if the band is naked we need to see you know how we're 03:57:52.980 --> 03:57:57.700 gonna keep making progress if they if you don't have good runs for this we're gonna have what 03:57:57.700 --> 03:57:59.900 We're going to have the Monty or another shoe. 03:58:02.300 --> 03:58:03.900 Again, another kind of differing philosophy. 03:58:03.900 --> 03:58:07.300 We got one that's a bit more decentralized and one that's a bit more top down. 03:58:08.260 --> 03:58:10.060 Mike has got his work out from those. 03:58:12.940 --> 03:58:14.500 He's trying to say it. He's here. Reeps. 03:58:15.060 --> 03:58:19.180 All I was thinking throughout that whole first minute of listening to 03:58:19.180 --> 03:58:24.980 Mike was just he has got his work out of those boys because they're so focused. 03:58:25.020 --> 03:58:26.540 And it's fine, by the way, the winning. 03:58:26.540 --> 03:58:32.920 Like this is no diss whatsoever, but they are so focused on the individual players that they're against and not just 03:58:33.100 --> 03:58:35.660 They're not nameless faces to them. They're playing against 03:58:36.740 --> 03:58:44.220 Speakeasy, Hoven, Turd, Reeps and Ape. They played so many times. They're not playing against a Blackbeard, a Blitz, blah blah blah blah blah 03:58:44.220 --> 03:58:46.220 They are playing against the individual and 03:58:47.620 --> 03:58:51.260 I mean, that's why they're so good, right? Because they can get a little bit on that personal level 03:58:51.260 --> 03:58:55.660 They can dig in a little bit deeper, but it just made me chuckle because Mag's like look it's 0-0 03:58:55.660 --> 03:58:59.720 there a brief like wing conditions angle delegations. 03:58:59.720 --> 03:59:05.260 Angle delegations, but he's taking it so seriously and he should do it. 03:59:05.260 --> 03:59:08.380 What was it? Coordination and angle delegation. 03:59:08.380 --> 03:59:12.340 He's taking it so seriously and he's right to, but I just bet this ends. 03:59:12.340 --> 03:59:15.220 I bet these enterprise boys, they are out of control without it. 03:59:15.220 --> 03:59:19.660 And you know the best part is that whole time you see Mac explaining and you see Jigsaw's 03:59:19.660 --> 03:59:23.860 eyes start darting to the keyboard like the green goblin mask is talking to him in 30 03:59:23.860 --> 03:59:30.100 seconds and you start typing and all chat. They're mid time out. This team is so funny. 03:59:30.100 --> 03:59:37.220 They're so funny. Well, the clash got banned and that was something that Enterprise were 03:59:37.220 --> 03:59:46.420 going to in their words spam. So they can't do that anymore. The Monty and the Snakebulk 03:59:46.420 --> 03:59:50.500 in and removed as well. There's a bit of talk and chatter about that from the way you side 03:59:50.500 --> 03:59:56.580 of things. Now, we were expecting some, well, or at least Mag was expecting some quick plays, 03:59:56.580 --> 04:00:01.740 you know, be aware of Blitz Bombardery, I think was the comment we'd use, which I just 04:00:01.740 --> 04:00:02.740 particularly loved. 04:00:02.740 --> 04:00:04.740 That meant it was not real. 04:00:04.740 --> 04:00:08.100 There's no Blitz. There is, in fact, a Blackbeard, but it doesn't look like anything's going 04:00:08.100 --> 04:00:13.460 to be happening too quickly. It seems fairly par for the course right now. Just general 04:00:13.460 --> 04:00:17.100 sell, get onto the roof, start getting some drones down, and figure out what the lay of 04:00:17.100 --> 04:00:19.380 the land is. 04:00:19.380 --> 04:00:24.980 Blackbeard Bombardery is a bit of a mouthful, but it still kind of works, and also, at least 04:00:24.980 --> 04:00:27.500 in terms of the strategy, could basically be the same thing. 04:00:27.500 --> 04:00:32.820 You won't get blinded by the shield, but generally speaking, if you see a Blackbeard, none of 04:00:32.820 --> 04:00:35.420 these players are going to be like, oh, Madge was wrong with the Blitz Bombardery call. 04:00:35.420 --> 04:00:37.420 You could be like, okay, this is the kind of thing. 04:00:37.420 --> 04:00:39.180 In fact, I might have just seen the Blackbeard. 04:00:39.180 --> 04:00:44.140 Make eye contact as the Vulcan Packs pop to hear him break through the wall. 04:00:44.140 --> 04:00:48.980 He's creeping forward also heard some calls that might be a hoven lurk on the back side 04:00:49.460 --> 04:00:55.620 Clearly worried about you know a very sizable front push but then one or two players lurking either on the extremities or on the back side 04:00:55.620 --> 04:00:58.980 Something they're worried about hoven on the z1 even quite effective so far spotted 04:00:58.980 --> 04:01:02.500 I think three different players, but no demos on the board for the attacking team 04:01:02.500 --> 04:01:06.460 So it can't make as much use of that utilities you'd like I was gonna say I think the lion on its own now 04:01:06.620 --> 04:01:11.060 We're starting to see the value of lying and it needs to be brought as part of two or three operators 04:01:11.060 --> 04:01:15.660 the wider vision because at the minute lying on their own, these boys are just going to 04:01:15.660 --> 04:01:21.260 laugh at that. Okay, find the first kill over on the two-hand, takes him out, a little bit 04:01:21.260 --> 04:01:25.420 of a headshot there as we can start to see a little bit of progress work its way through, 04:01:25.420 --> 04:01:28.940 but speak easy. Next player to fall, Blackbeard, just turning his head. 04:01:28.940 --> 04:01:33.580 It gets bombarded by the Vector, just swinging around the corner, Boppin' 6-1 right now. 04:01:33.580 --> 04:01:39.620 Crazy stat line over on Enterprise, 6-1, 7-1, 6-2 between Bopp and Jigsaw and Brenda. Some 04:01:39.620 --> 04:01:43.960 Crazy individual performances and wayboats by starting out with the first that back side lurk 04:01:44.040 --> 04:01:46.840 It's found out by enterprise might not be hovin 04:01:46.840 --> 04:01:52.540 It's off a instead still looking to try and channel some of that energy that big 3k gone in the Ella 04:01:52.540 --> 04:01:56.800 We're still waiting Reeps redeems itself a little bit. He's been struggling this game as well 04:01:56.800 --> 04:01:58.240 It's just him and hovin 04:01:58.240 --> 04:02:04.700 I'm trying to narrow this to round lead that enterprise have over them if user currently out of the attacks possession 04:02:04.700 --> 04:02:06.220 But they're still in this round 04:02:06.220 --> 04:02:12.420 They're still fighting back as much as they can, but despite Webo starting off with a 5v4 04:02:12.740 --> 04:02:17.980 Reaps now at 1 HP got a cover the diffuser get these kills all with only 10 seconds remaining 04:02:18.660 --> 04:02:22.940 Information on one, but only one to try to bait out the swing in enterprise 04:02:23.380 --> 04:02:27.480 They seem to understand the assignment if mad got anything through to them 04:02:27.480 --> 04:02:32.960 It's do not troll 5 to 2 enterprise take their first round on defense 04:02:32.960 --> 04:02:37.360 I like how they've started to make the room their own as well, they've got a jersey up 04:02:37.360 --> 04:02:38.360 on the wall. 04:02:38.360 --> 04:02:42.000 That's the first team that we've seen do that, I rate it. 04:02:42.000 --> 04:02:48.680 First round on the defense going very well there for Enterprise and Wabu Gaming, again, 04:02:48.680 --> 04:02:51.920 the same as they looked on defense, just look a little bit off the pace. 04:02:51.920 --> 04:03:00.360 They were able to get a couple of kills this time, but again there's that sort of inability 04:03:00.360 --> 04:03:02.920 to recognise what really is going on. 04:03:02.920 --> 04:03:10.780 It's one of those, there are these weird games that we cast sometimes, and not we as in like 04:03:10.780 --> 04:03:14.220 you and me, but like I think that a lot of times just kind of happened and that, you 04:03:14.220 --> 04:03:17.580 know, when you're a desk analyst, when you're a caster, you kind of, you have to read the 04:03:17.580 --> 04:03:20.340 game, you have to interpret the game, you've got to relate it to the viewer. 04:03:20.340 --> 04:03:24.580 But it's always difficult things where weibo just don't really feel like a factor, and 04:03:24.580 --> 04:03:27.300 they were in that round, which is the weird thing, they got the opening pick. 04:03:27.300 --> 04:03:28.300 It was only a 2v1. 04:03:28.300 --> 04:03:30.500 That is a close round, all things considered. 04:03:30.500 --> 04:03:37.500 And yet there's just this feeling you get over the course of the series that they are not the complete architects of their own fate. 04:03:37.500 --> 04:03:44.500 That they're just not. And that round it felt kind of similar. Even though they were getting kills and even though they were keeping the round close, 04:03:44.500 --> 04:03:51.500 it never really felt like there was something going their way. It was more like things were happening rather than Webo were making things happen. 04:03:51.500 --> 04:03:59.500 And I get that's not a particularly helpful statement, but it's just one of these weird feelings you get where there is nothing I can quite put my finger on in particular, 04:03:59.500 --> 04:04:03.740 just nothing seems to be going that well. For me it's lack of awareness and that's kind of what it 04:04:03.740 --> 04:04:08.300 comes down to because we're consistently seeing players caught flat footed off guard looking the 04:04:08.300 --> 04:04:12.540 wrong way or defense especially. Yeah I mean it's happened a little bit on the attack we've got the 04:04:12.540 --> 04:04:16.940 black beard losing the life because the turn in the wrong way is the the transition in over past 04:04:16.940 --> 04:04:24.620 the doorway. Are you just thinking we weren't seeing all of that Falcon's VP. Gotta call it when it is 04:04:24.620 --> 04:04:29.740 Speaking of, calling things that are a little bit new or different, we have this janker 04:04:29.740 --> 04:04:30.740 this time. 04:04:30.740 --> 04:04:35.140 So these corridors are going to be a bit of a tough space for Speakeasy to work through 04:04:35.140 --> 04:04:36.140 on that blitz. 04:04:36.140 --> 04:04:40.180 We will have a bit of a harder time making that happen. 04:04:40.180 --> 04:04:46.220 Lion Scan comes out, but no one really feeling the pressure in this early portion of the 04:04:46.220 --> 04:04:47.220 round just yet. 04:04:47.220 --> 04:04:52.900 It does jigsaw, just sort of hanging around and threatening and engagement with Hoven, 04:04:52.900 --> 04:04:55.560 You basically just going to be that's a glee to it for quiet 04:04:57.240 --> 04:05:00.120 Just waiting for it. I how many times 04:05:00.820 --> 04:05:06.360 How many times have we really seen that museum exterior engagement be a quagmire for the attack? 04:05:06.360 --> 04:05:09.400 It always feels like we see an attack or whether it's deus on theory 04:05:09.400 --> 04:05:14.760 I really any player on that door they just get sucked into this game of this waiting game between the defenders 04:05:14.760 --> 04:05:19.060 And they always inevitably either lose their life or don't have impact and it's not just a way boat thing 04:05:19.060 --> 04:05:21.700 It feels like we see it so consistently on this map. 04:05:21.700 --> 04:05:24.660 You wait, you think you can get it, then you end up failing. 04:05:24.660 --> 04:05:27.460 You inevitably get Jigsaw, but you've lost the Blitz, 04:05:27.460 --> 04:05:30.980 and you've lost the Lion, who maybe gave some good information to the Deimos, 04:05:30.980 --> 04:05:32.340 but who is now dead? 04:05:32.340 --> 04:05:36.580 Wrapping 9-1 currently, potentially 10-1 if you can get that Lion onto Ape. 04:05:36.580 --> 04:05:38.260 That's a lengthy pre-fire around the keyboard. 04:05:38.260 --> 04:05:39.860 A good pre-fire at that. 04:05:39.860 --> 04:05:42.260 And Weibo continue to struggle. 04:05:42.260 --> 04:05:46.740 Enterprise continue to set the pace by which Weibo needs to play at. 04:05:46.740 --> 04:05:48.900 A minute to go, they'll try to fight back. 04:05:48.900 --> 04:05:59.900 Jigsaw, astute as ever, Reeps is alive. Reeps and Ape, to try and make this happen, we've 04:05:59.900 --> 04:06:04.020 got a bit of kit, we're going to see some Rhetero drones used, even if they don't destroy 04:06:04.020 --> 04:06:09.700 anything it's going to give a bit of information away. Reeps, choose to drop off and maybe find 04:06:09.700 --> 04:06:13.060 a little bit of an alternate line here, it's going to leave Ape a little bit vulnerable 04:06:13.060 --> 04:06:17.140 for all the time being, they hold the diffuser, so if this just comes down to the wire that 04:06:17.140 --> 04:06:21.140 That is going to be required. Default camera open above Reap's shoulder, I think, and you 04:06:21.140 --> 04:06:24.940 can already see with the way that the outlines are moving, that information is getting fed 04:06:24.940 --> 04:06:30.060 straight away. Jigsaw locks into that old tower camera, and it's no surprise now to 04:06:30.060 --> 04:06:33.140 see Reap on one HP. Can't land the shots! 04:06:33.140 --> 04:06:34.140 Aw, it's windy. 04:06:34.140 --> 04:06:42.140 It's Cairo. Able to get the job done. Enterprise. They've nearly got map 1 done here. 04:06:42.140 --> 04:06:46.540 If Ape doesn't clutch that 1v1, that is the end of map 1 right there. 04:06:46.540 --> 04:06:52.140 Weibo just have not been a factor on Fortress so far, not at all whatsoever. 04:06:52.140 --> 04:06:56.340 And I think a good moment in that round is at the very end, you see Reeps go for that backstab, 04:06:56.340 --> 04:07:00.540 and in theory, that's a big gamble that could pay off, right? 04:07:00.540 --> 04:07:03.540 You go up the back, nobody's looking, they're so focused on the front. 04:07:03.540 --> 04:07:07.040 But the difficulty with going with a backstab in that situation is, 04:07:07.040 --> 04:07:09.840 there's two players left alive, 04:07:09.840 --> 04:07:14.120 And Ape is ace. What's he gonna do to distract them? 04:07:14.120 --> 04:07:23.020 He's got no secondary utility, no primary utility, he's got the diffuser, so he can't really go for a plant since you're going for a backstab. Who's covering him? 04:07:23.020 --> 04:07:31.120 Reeps is just betting it all on himself, and maybe it works out, but he didn't. If you get spotted, he isn't maybe not the first that went down. 04:07:31.120 --> 04:07:39.440 But there was nothing to distract to make that backstab more likely. Reeps was literally just betting that Enterprise would do something they have not really done in this game so far. 04:07:39.440 --> 04:07:44.500 And that's not been aware of their surroundings. Enterprise have had good awareness. They've had good coordination. 04:07:44.500 --> 04:07:52.880 You can't get multiple people all at six to nine kills and not have a decent idea of what's going on and where there might be a gap in your setup. 04:07:58.580 --> 04:08:04.980 Six-two, Enterprise, poised and ready to take their map pick of Fortress. 04:08:04.980 --> 04:08:09.560 It is worth remembering at this point in the proceedings that yes, this is indeed Enterprises 04:08:09.560 --> 04:08:16.520 map choice and we will be moving on to labs as Wabuse map choice next, that much is guaranteed. 04:08:16.520 --> 04:08:23.180 But often the way that map one is won can certainly shape for some teams how the rest 04:08:23.180 --> 04:08:28.640 of the games will go, or the rest of the series, jigsaw, and caught out on the drone there, 04:08:28.640 --> 04:08:32.720 route to the spot by a lion, but again there's no bite off the back of this lion scan. 04:08:32.720 --> 04:08:36.440 It's not the same way we were seeing falcons use it where there were lions, guns, snakes, 04:08:36.440 --> 04:08:37.440 daemons, everything. 04:08:37.440 --> 04:08:38.440 What a shot from Jigsaw! 04:08:38.440 --> 04:08:39.440 Let's just move on. 04:08:39.440 --> 04:08:40.440 Let's just move on. 04:08:40.440 --> 04:08:41.440 Let's just move on. 04:08:41.440 --> 04:08:45.440 Daemons, track on, not happy to one-tap through the window. 04:08:45.440 --> 04:08:51.720 That could be the first of five nails going into the coffin right now for Weibo on Fortress. 04:08:51.720 --> 04:08:53.920 You can hear Mag Hammering right now. 04:08:53.920 --> 04:08:56.760 Just getting the lid ready, attaching it. 04:08:56.760 --> 04:09:00.640 Feels like Weibo had been gone for a long time on this map. 04:09:00.640 --> 04:09:02.280 Last round, they won, it was in round four. 04:09:02.280 --> 04:09:05.520 That was a 1v1, one before that, round two. 04:09:05.520 --> 04:09:07.540 That was also a 1v1. 04:09:08.660 --> 04:09:13.020 Basically 50-50s, a coin flip, or what a given Waybo, 04:09:13.020 --> 04:09:15.580 only two victories on board, or on fortress. 04:09:15.580 --> 04:09:17.020 And it might not be their pick, 04:09:17.020 --> 04:09:19.360 but Enterprise are gonna have a massive momentum boost 04:09:19.360 --> 04:09:23.060 going into Night Haven if Waybo cannot get it together soon. 04:09:23.060 --> 04:09:24.980 The Deimos in line, objectively a great combo. 04:09:24.980 --> 04:09:27.500 I'm glad they moved to that after the solo line in round one. 04:09:27.500 --> 04:09:29.940 But with the Deimos dead, you don't have a lot to fall back on. 04:09:29.940 --> 04:09:34.400 E1D not great. We don't have a lot of utility to back it up with the roteros have all been used and 04:09:34.620 --> 04:09:37.660 Ash and ace as we said before aren't really gonna get the job done 04:09:37.780 --> 04:09:41.500 Turt is just walking through they've got no idea jigsaw's position and 04:09:41.980 --> 04:09:45.980 Based on what's happened. I kind of favor him to just wide swing this breach and get this kill 04:09:45.980 --> 04:09:48.220 Maybe he won't it is off a who's had a good time 04:09:48.220 --> 04:09:52.660 It's off a who will now be on cameras is jigsaw is at three how about another one be one? 04:09:52.660 --> 04:09:57.660 Maybe maybe this will be the difference just one more one you want that'll do it now you've got to win four 04:09:57.660 --> 04:10:04.660 Speakeasy eventually shuts Jigsaw down, but Jigsaw knows the damage has been done at this point. 04:10:04.660 --> 04:10:11.660 Whether he's only speaking to us and the viewers and his own teammates or whether the old chat is in fact on. 04:10:11.660 --> 04:10:13.660 It doesn't matter at this point. 04:10:13.660 --> 04:10:15.660 35 seconds, defuser recovered. 04:10:15.660 --> 04:10:21.660 Speakeasy needs to double his kills if he's going to help to keep Webu in this map. 04:10:21.660 --> 04:10:28.380 He's got the 417, good gun to do it, but again, Enterprise have generally been patient. 04:10:28.380 --> 04:10:32.620 Some information revealed, the shotgun spotted around the corner, and hey, there's a 1v1 04:10:32.620 --> 04:10:36.380 right here, Brendo got to be careful, but 2-on will finish things off. 04:10:36.380 --> 04:10:40.620 It's a 7-2 for Enterprise, but it could have been even better than that. 04:10:40.620 --> 04:10:45.980 It is not a contest on Fortress, and Enterprise one map away from Main Stage. 04:10:45.980 --> 04:10:48.820 Enterprise, I'll fire it up for the fight right now. 04:10:48.820 --> 04:10:52.620 They are giving us some very exciting siege to watch. 04:10:52.620 --> 04:10:57.520 They can only play the opponent that's in front of them, but they have made mincemeat 04:10:57.520 --> 04:10:59.620 of Webu on map 1. 04:10:59.620 --> 04:11:04.620 Fortunately, we have a map 2 in the series, and we'll be back with labs right after this. 04:17:48.820 --> 04:18:10.980 Basically nothing different between Series 1 and Series 2, both beginning with a 7-2 04:18:10.980 --> 04:18:13.940 and somehow despite the same scoreline, I don't think we've seen a performance quite 04:18:13.940 --> 04:18:15.780 as dominant today as that from Enterprise. 04:18:15.780 --> 04:18:20.220 It felt a bit different, didn't it? It felt very different to the way that Falcons PVP 04:18:20.220 --> 04:18:26.060 on their first map. It just felt a little bit like maybe we're off the pace here. Lack 04:18:26.060 --> 04:18:30.020 of awareness was one of the words that we used to characterize the performance that 04:18:30.020 --> 04:18:34.260 we've seen so far from the five players on the right-hand side of your screen at the 04:18:34.260 --> 04:18:35.260 moment. 04:18:35.260 --> 04:18:36.260 Look at that cost! 04:18:36.260 --> 04:18:44.100 33% cost for three players. Reaps, by the way. 22%. Two kills! Only good for kills on 04:18:44.100 --> 04:18:47.940 on that defensive side, he got one entry on the defense. 04:18:47.940 --> 04:18:50.420 And other than that, he was either the first or the second 04:18:50.420 --> 04:18:52.740 dead in nearly every single round. 04:18:52.740 --> 04:18:56.340 And then Ape, obviously up top, 78% cost, 8 and 8. 04:18:56.340 --> 04:18:59.020 He got way above one of their rounds. 04:18:59.020 --> 04:19:03.220 Remember that massive L of 3K, Scorpion in the pistol, 04:19:03.220 --> 04:19:05.820 objectively, crazy mechanical skill. 04:19:05.820 --> 04:19:07.380 That was literally one of the only good things 04:19:07.380 --> 04:19:08.500 that happened for way above that round. 04:19:08.500 --> 04:19:10.580 And it was still a clutch that needed to happen. 04:19:10.580 --> 04:19:12.340 It just was not a factor. 04:19:12.340 --> 04:19:16.340 The team was not a factor on Fortress, but that was the Enterprise's pick. 04:19:16.340 --> 04:19:20.840 We've got...Weibo is coming up right now, and Olly, I need you. 04:19:20.840 --> 04:19:22.340 I need you. 04:19:22.340 --> 04:19:24.340 This is a promotion elimination game. 04:19:24.340 --> 04:19:25.840 We are in the 2-2. 04:19:25.840 --> 04:19:29.840 Weibo have a 7-1 record on this map going into this game. 04:19:29.840 --> 04:19:30.840 7-1. 04:19:30.840 --> 04:19:33.340 That is plus 6 if you can't do math, which I can't. 04:19:33.340 --> 04:19:34.340 I prepped that ahead of time. 04:19:34.340 --> 04:19:35.840 I've been practicing it all day. 04:19:35.840 --> 04:19:39.840 Surely, surely, Weibo can come back. 04:19:39.840 --> 04:19:41.340 Surely they have something to offer. 04:19:41.340 --> 04:19:45.140 Well, across the Major so far, they've played it twice. 04:19:45.140 --> 04:19:45.660 OK. 04:19:45.660 --> 04:19:47.180 Muck it a little bit further back, yes. 04:19:47.180 --> 04:19:50.260 That's when you get the magical 6-1, 7-1 record. 04:19:50.260 --> 04:19:51.460 Across the Major, they've played it twice. 04:19:51.460 --> 04:19:52.740 They've won one, lost one. 04:19:52.740 --> 04:19:54.340 They've played it against Twisted Minds. 04:19:54.340 --> 04:19:57.900 Who, by the way, qualified in top seed, or second top seed, 04:19:57.900 --> 04:19:58.420 to face on. 04:19:58.420 --> 04:19:58.820 Yeah. 04:19:58.820 --> 04:19:59.940 It's basically top, just because of the way 04:19:59.940 --> 04:20:01.460 that the games are played. 04:20:01.460 --> 04:20:02.620 They beat Twisted Minds on there. 04:20:02.620 --> 04:20:03.860 8-7. 04:20:03.860 --> 04:20:04.740 Sorry, they lost to Twisted Minds. 04:20:04.740 --> 04:20:05.300 8-7. 04:20:05.300 --> 04:20:06.020 They beat loss. 04:20:06.020 --> 04:20:07.540 That's a close game, though. 04:20:07.540 --> 04:20:10.340 They beat loss 8-7. 04:20:10.340 --> 04:20:11.340 on the previous day. 04:20:12.100 --> 04:20:14.100 And hey, they had a lead against Twisted Minds that game. 04:20:14.100 --> 04:20:15.340 If you recall, 04:20:15.340 --> 04:20:18.480 Twisted Minds had to come back from a deficit 04:20:18.480 --> 04:20:21.020 in order to defeat Wave-O Gaming. 04:20:21.020 --> 04:20:23.460 What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, 04:20:23.460 --> 04:20:26.620 was Fortress Bad, yes, but Night Haven Labs, 04:20:26.620 --> 04:20:28.580 this is a map with a good record for them, 04:20:28.580 --> 04:20:30.260 two very close games this whole tournament, 04:20:30.260 --> 04:20:32.740 and what could very well be two victories, 04:20:32.740 --> 04:20:34.460 and if they had closed out that regulation 04:20:34.460 --> 04:20:36.900 against Twisted Minds who qualified quite quickly, 04:20:36.900 --> 04:20:38.460 might I add, 04:20:38.460 --> 04:20:42.260 They could be 2-0 and have a really good record on this map at this tournament 04:20:42.260 --> 04:20:44.460 specifically alongside their victory against Los. 04:20:44.620 --> 04:20:46.020 Weibo are not out of this yet. 04:20:46.020 --> 04:20:47.020 This is a comfortable map. 04:20:47.020 --> 04:20:49.940 This is a good map and one that they can perform well on this tournament. 04:20:51.060 --> 04:20:52.060 I appreciate what you've done there. 04:20:52.100 --> 04:20:54.180 You've given the Waby fans a little bit of hope. 04:20:54.260 --> 04:20:55.980 I have never met a hill I wouldn't die on. 04:20:56.020 --> 04:20:57.220 I'm about to dash it. 04:20:57.220 --> 04:20:58.140 Why would you do that? 04:20:58.140 --> 04:20:59.060 That's just out of the tournament. 04:20:59.060 --> 04:20:59.700 Why would you do that? 04:20:59.700 --> 04:21:05.420 I'm about to just pour water over the fire and the flames that you have just tried to kindle. 04:21:05.820 --> 04:21:06.740 Can I sit down at least? 04:21:06.740 --> 04:21:07.460 Falcons. 04:21:08.460 --> 04:21:09.460 Team Falcons. 04:21:09.460 --> 04:21:11.580 I would assume not the animal. 04:21:11.580 --> 04:21:16.460 They lost to Enterprise on this very map only a couple of days ago. 04:21:16.460 --> 04:21:19.180 What was the score? 04:21:19.180 --> 04:21:20.180 86. 04:21:20.180 --> 04:21:21.180 Okay. 04:21:21.180 --> 04:21:26.460 Enterprise also narrowly lost to SR on this map. 04:21:26.460 --> 04:21:27.980 Another overtime game. 04:21:27.980 --> 04:21:28.980 And... 04:21:28.980 --> 04:21:32.060 Had it not been for Spoint having an incredible series... 04:21:32.060 --> 04:21:34.220 Incredible tournament, my dad. 04:21:34.220 --> 04:21:38.260 An incredible series in an incredible map on that specific day. 04:21:38.260 --> 04:21:40.260 Enterprise would have walked away with a win there as well. 04:21:40.260 --> 04:21:41.260 Okay. 04:21:42.260 --> 04:21:49.260 I think that the opponents that Enterprise have beaten and come close to beating on this map outweigh Waboo's record on this map currently. 04:21:49.260 --> 04:21:57.260 And I do not believe for one second that Waboo are out of hot water here coming into Nighthaven Labs, particularly given that they're starting on the attack. 04:21:57.260 --> 04:22:02.260 Okay, okay. I hear what you're saying and all of that is fair. I acknowledge all of that. 04:22:02.260 --> 04:22:08.920 Counter-argument, counter-argument, it's a bad map one, but Hoven is still going into the series, 04:22:08.920 --> 04:22:11.960 the highest rated player in the lobby. One of the highest rated players in the tournament, 04:22:11.960 --> 04:22:18.560 I'm about to add, after his insane 43 kill series yesterday, an extremely close series, 04:22:18.560 --> 04:22:24.560 a hard fought series to get them to this point. He's on demos currently, so much investment can go on that one operator, 04:22:24.560 --> 04:22:27.960 particularly in tandem with the lion, Ape, who had a good game last game. 04:22:27.960 --> 04:22:30.960 We've got some good utilities, some good ideas from Wayba out the gate, 04:22:30.960 --> 04:22:33.960 And maybe we can invest in this star player, 04:22:33.960 --> 04:22:36.600 this person who has basically made the whole tournament for Weibo, 04:22:36.600 --> 04:22:38.440 Hoven, especially in the back half. 04:22:38.440 --> 04:22:42.440 Maybe that is what they need to bounce back from a rough fortress 04:22:42.440 --> 04:22:44.680 and to seal the deal on Nighthaven for the defense. 04:22:44.680 --> 04:22:47.240 We got a pulse down below, a few different things to talk about, 04:22:47.240 --> 04:22:50.000 some tools that Enterprise will have to stop that from happening. 04:22:50.000 --> 04:22:51.920 Enterprise also bringing the clash. 04:22:51.920 --> 04:22:55.280 They were wanting to spam the clash in the words of Mag. 04:22:55.280 --> 04:22:56.760 Unfortunately. 04:22:56.760 --> 04:22:58.080 And they weren't allowed to do it. 04:22:58.080 --> 04:22:59.280 Clash was banned. 04:22:59.280 --> 04:23:06.280 This time available. Interestingly, opposite side of the reinforcement that is more typically done inside of Connector, 04:23:06.280 --> 04:23:10.280 and it is just going to give a little bit of a corner for Carol to hide in. 04:23:10.280 --> 04:23:17.280 Can look to try and play that clash, not aggressively, but in an information gathering role. Are they coming through Connector? 04:23:17.280 --> 04:23:22.280 The stallout in this round has been pretty severe. They've got good control of mid-floor, 04:23:22.280 --> 04:23:28.280 but they've got no idea that Jigsaw is below just feeding all this information to the rest of his team. 04:23:28.280 --> 04:23:34.480 Hoven is looking to try and get something done vertically, and doesn't realize Jigsaw's working vertically on him. 04:23:36.380 --> 04:23:39.480 Hunter becoming the hunted for the minute 15 to go. 04:23:41.380 --> 04:23:42.880 Or gadgets being used, but... 04:23:43.680 --> 04:23:49.380 Every 1D? 3Ds? Going hunting for the pulse? We'll find them, I was about to say. Surely Hoven gets that kill, and indeed he will. 04:23:49.680 --> 04:23:54.780 My cost a lot of damage, that's the pulse dealt with, that's a C4 from below you don't have to worry about. 04:23:54.780 --> 04:24:00.380 On the issue though, you still got this clash up top, and the zombie as well, there's something for Enterprise to work with here. 04:24:00.380 --> 04:24:03.780 There's nothing that Waboo have got to deal with this clash in the shield. 04:24:03.780 --> 04:24:05.980 They've got a couple of nades, that's about it. 04:24:06.780 --> 04:24:10.580 They've got to be in the right position to throw those nades, and they're going to have to go gun down to do so. 04:24:10.580 --> 04:24:13.180 Two-hand, still playing inside a fish. 04:24:13.180 --> 04:24:18.380 Ape, now going to be joined potentially by Hoven as Hoven makes that rotation over toward storage. 04:24:18.380 --> 04:24:22.580 He's got a couple of people that he can track on the death mark, and the first target is going to be the clash. 04:24:22.580 --> 04:24:25.880 But at a 30 second mark, it feels like that's a bit too late. 04:24:25.880 --> 04:24:29.580 It feels a bit odd and it's speakeasy hopping directly in a barbed wire. 04:24:29.580 --> 04:24:33.480 Baphin just is playing the normal angle on Generator, swings around the corner, 04:24:33.480 --> 04:24:34.680 but way though, keeping it close. 04:24:34.680 --> 04:24:36.880 In fact, even Turd has made his way into site. 04:24:36.880 --> 04:24:39.680 Playing on the B bomb, Chas, he's got two different players in this position. 04:24:39.680 --> 04:24:42.480 Oh, Baphin almost loses that opportunity. 04:24:42.480 --> 04:24:44.680 Taking the kill on Reeps a little bit for granted. 04:24:44.680 --> 04:24:47.380 Now Turd finds himself in a difficult situation, but a one if you want. 04:24:47.380 --> 04:24:49.180 Oh, just sees the Izami's head. 04:24:49.180 --> 04:24:52.180 Camouflaged enough by the monitor, there's two Han around the corner. 04:24:52.180 --> 04:24:57.140 Who thinks that if user's going down in the wrong spot, but too much time has passed big 3k from turd 04:24:57.140 --> 04:24:58.100 But not enough 04:24:58.100 --> 04:25:04.820 It's a 1v1 for enterprise to end it and they continue their streak enterprise has been very well disciplined in those late round moments 04:25:04.820 --> 04:25:10.140 Where things could go wrong. You've got twitch you've got the F2 you've got turd skill player talented 04:25:10.300 --> 04:25:14.020 Who's to say he's not gonna flick two heads who's to say we don't line up a misplay 04:25:14.020 --> 04:25:18.380 You don't need to push that the times are in low force him into the plant usually utility 04:25:18.380 --> 04:25:22.580 It's always a safe bet that someone's planting behind pillar. That's why you'd usually end up planting it 04:25:22.580 --> 04:25:25.620 It was a very off-spot that turned found himself in with the diffuser 04:25:26.120 --> 04:25:30.940 It's a decent clear from where it just all took far too long jumping into barbed wire 04:25:31.940 --> 04:25:38.180 2026 that's things can damage you it gives the game where you get slowed down even more you just get swung it's electric 04:25:38.180 --> 04:25:40.180 What do you expect? 04:25:40.180 --> 04:25:43.540 Ways of dealing with some things and then a lack of ways of dealing with others 04:25:43.540 --> 04:25:49.720 They're three nades as we've got players jumping into barbed wire for goodness sake like that's what I was crazy like 04:25:53.660 --> 04:25:55.660 Three nades 04:25:56.380 --> 04:26:01.260 Didn't didn't usually deal with the class of the class died of died of wrong means so natural causes nothing natural causes. Yeah 04:26:02.540 --> 04:26:07.080 It's a killer. It's happens. It's natural someone say circle of life and all that 04:26:08.140 --> 04:26:11.700 But I'm being able to clear the barbed wire. I didn't really seem like they knew about the barbed wire 04:26:11.700 --> 04:26:17.860 You got Bap and Flanking, they already killed the guys in that position, they're still open 04:26:17.860 --> 04:26:18.860 to the reinforcement. 04:26:18.860 --> 04:26:22.140 You kind of pointed it out and it's really taken a map to set in. 04:26:22.140 --> 04:26:25.820 There have been so many people on Weibo that have been shot with either side of their back 04:26:25.820 --> 04:26:26.820 turn. 04:26:26.820 --> 04:26:29.900 And it's like, it's not a phenomenon at this point that I'm thinking about every game 04:26:29.900 --> 04:26:35.780 that we've casted and it is like, it is insane how often it seems to be occurring in this 04:26:35.780 --> 04:26:36.780 series. 04:26:36.780 --> 04:26:44.960 need to have us placed on the wall and reaps the looks and put those exothermic charges 04:26:44.960 --> 04:26:45.960 down. 04:26:45.960 --> 04:26:49.200 I'm feeling like they need to go for a bit of a full clear here, I mean, they've got 04:26:49.200 --> 04:26:53.820 the ram they can do that, which is danger now is that he gets caught out before being 04:26:53.820 --> 04:26:57.660 able to rotate back downstairs and actually get the main wall open. 04:26:57.660 --> 04:27:01.420 There is a little bit of redundancy, Turd can be playing on the ace, Radoca be phone 04:27:01.420 --> 04:27:05.900 called, just to make these roamers think twice, you can hear those boogie drones now, no doubt 04:27:05.900 --> 04:27:12.140 going in through IT and starting to open up towards storage. This top floor is 04:27:12.140 --> 04:27:16.980 going to need to be cleared. Speakeasy at the minute is inside a kitchen. I'm far 04:27:16.980 --> 04:27:19.700 more worried about this top floor than what's going on inside of that kitchen 04:27:19.700 --> 04:27:25.420 site because besides being downstairs, you can't just ignore it. You can't ignore 04:27:25.420 --> 04:27:29.780 that vertical hold. And you'll see Waybo starting to consider it. Speakeasy 04:27:29.780 --> 04:27:33.620 turning the corner. Blackbeard I think just quickly making his way towards XO 04:27:33.620 --> 04:27:41.320 Reeps. He's had a rough performance. Third kill over the whole series. He finds an important one to cover the Blackbeard as they make their way down XO. 04:27:41.320 --> 04:27:48.200 Up in my fall, don't be called another factor, but WaveR making some very good progress right outside of the site. 04:27:48.440 --> 04:27:53.560 He needs some support. There are these vertical angles as well. You can see the Blackbeard's concerned about it. 04:27:53.560 --> 04:27:58.080 Can you put the diffuser down? He's right in front of the vertical hole and there's nobody at the window. 04:27:58.960 --> 04:28:01.440 There's no utility being used to cover it. 04:28:01.440 --> 04:28:08.040 It's turd in a 1v4, just barricades in his way. 04:28:08.040 --> 04:28:09.920 There's a shotgun around the corner. 04:28:09.920 --> 04:28:11.880 And it's enterprise with another round. 04:28:11.880 --> 04:28:13.760 Enterprise again, doing a really good job 04:28:13.760 --> 04:28:15.240 of sticking to their wing conditions. 04:28:15.240 --> 04:28:16.920 They know, holding that top floor, 04:28:16.920 --> 04:28:18.800 spreading themselves quite thin, and just 04:28:18.800 --> 04:28:21.560 supporting the player that's going to be inside of storage. 04:28:21.560 --> 04:28:24.520 We didn't see a single body from where we would get into storage. 04:28:24.520 --> 04:28:25.640 That's always a big problem. 04:28:25.640 --> 04:28:26.760 If you're going to clear top floor, 04:28:26.760 --> 04:28:27.920 it's got to be the whole thing. 04:28:27.920 --> 04:28:30.160 You have to start on that top floor, go through, 04:28:30.160 --> 04:28:33.940 clear the mid-floor, flush the defenders down, lose a few bodies, kill a few, whatever, however 04:28:33.940 --> 04:28:38.180 it takes, it's always a little bit messy, it's always scrappy. But the end goal, if you're 04:28:38.180 --> 04:28:42.140 going to try and get the plant down, in that default spot, is you need control of storage. 04:28:42.140 --> 04:28:45.620 And if you don't have control of storage, you are going to struggle. And for us to know 04:28:45.620 --> 04:28:49.900 this, hence why they are playing, or they were playing, inside of storage. Because they 04:28:49.900 --> 04:28:52.740 know that is the link on. 04:28:52.740 --> 04:28:57.180 Mag has got this team very well drilled at the moment, and it is showing in the server. 04:28:57.180 --> 04:29:03.300 Is this a game? Okay, I'll wait to be playing the best Siege. No. But, are Enterprise playing 04:29:03.300 --> 04:29:07.580 the best Siege for the game that has been put in front of them? Yes. And would it be 04:29:07.580 --> 04:29:13.700 very easy to slip and to start just playing like a massive troll? Absolutely. 04:29:13.700 --> 04:29:17.460 And that's what I was starting to think about as we saw the end of round one, is that I 04:29:17.460 --> 04:29:22.020 think really the true hallmark of Enterprise so far is that they're up to it right now, 04:29:22.020 --> 04:29:25.660 it's not a particularly close series, but in every game they've played, they have always 04:29:25.660 --> 04:29:31.980 been very quick to trash talk. And maybe they've led a lead slip here or there, but one who hasn't. 04:29:32.540 --> 04:29:36.380 They're a bit of a newer team, the international stage. Those seven players with quiet a bit of 04:29:36.380 --> 04:29:41.180 international experience. But they haven't really let like a, I really feel like a massive lead 04:29:41.180 --> 04:29:45.980 slip consistently. They have against teams that I think we would unequivocally say on paper are 04:29:45.980 --> 04:29:50.940 their betters. They've taken them the distance. Shopify Rebellion in one of the best tournament 04:29:50.940 --> 04:29:55.500 forms we've seen from that team in quite a long time. All three maps, really close series against 04:29:55.500 --> 04:30:02.600 They vintage sport performance in what sports best tournament in years. They're they're making good progress also you got to say 04:30:03.600 --> 04:30:07.860 Brenda has been on a heater in Salt Lake City 04:30:07.860 --> 04:30:10.860 He was plus what 37 or something going into this game 04:30:11.720 --> 04:30:16.800 Unbelievable stuff from Brenda so far this tournament him and jigsaw have been lights out 04:30:16.800 --> 04:30:20.920 And it's just kills like that that are one of many for Brenda in Salt Lake 04:30:20.920 --> 04:30:25.920 5-1 at the moment, that is giving the plus column a good deal more. 04:30:25.920 --> 04:30:29.920 Speakeasy ratting at the bottom of fish stairs, takes Cairo down. 04:30:29.920 --> 04:30:35.920 Has a chance at an angle onto another, impact just as he retreats up those stairs. 04:30:35.920 --> 04:30:37.920 He's kind of cut off right now. 04:30:37.920 --> 04:30:38.920 Mapping. 04:30:38.920 --> 04:30:43.920 He knows that he's popped the Vulcan pack and doesn't want to take that less than favourable angle. 04:30:43.920 --> 04:30:47.920 It's never good firing up the stairs, whereas he kind of wants to be the one at the top. 04:30:47.920 --> 04:30:52.440 Vicky's he holds the high ground at the moment, still it isn't going to help him too much, 04:30:52.440 --> 04:30:56.920 he's got to expend bees to just ensure that he isn't going to get flanked up on. 04:30:56.920 --> 04:30:59.440 Still not too sure at the threat of a flank from below. 04:30:59.440 --> 04:31:03.640 Two hands gone like a thief in the night, he's well out of there. 04:31:03.640 --> 04:31:08.400 The three remaining players for Enterprise, just kind of consolidate after an early burst 04:31:08.400 --> 04:31:09.400 from Brendo. 04:31:09.400 --> 04:31:13.840 They don't need to overcomplicate it, they don't need to do too much now. 04:31:13.840 --> 04:31:17.860 And it left, and only a super shorty to make you vert. 04:31:17.860 --> 04:31:18.860 I'll take those odds. 04:31:18.860 --> 04:31:23.960 And this is another good example of Enterprise not making things more difficult for themselves. 04:31:23.960 --> 04:31:24.960 It's a 3v3. 04:31:24.960 --> 04:31:26.160 It is already hard. 04:31:26.160 --> 04:31:28.720 You also don't have a lot of great utility for this late round. 04:31:28.720 --> 04:31:31.160 You've got whatever Vulcan packs, whatever bad cheese might survive. 04:31:31.160 --> 04:31:35.080 You've got a C4 that I think is pre-placed actually right now for Chuhon. 04:31:35.080 --> 04:31:36.400 But that's it. 04:31:36.400 --> 04:31:37.560 That's all you've got. 04:31:37.560 --> 04:31:41.640 And so the recipe here, as always, Ali, is don't peek if you don't need to. 04:31:41.640 --> 04:31:44.440 off angle if you think you've got a chance, take a fight if you think you're favored, 04:31:44.440 --> 04:31:48.440 but just do not peek. Do not make it harder than you have to. And two Hanh I think is a good 04:31:48.440 --> 04:31:52.840 example of this. Playing pass and holding the off angle in Gen that immediately backs off 04:31:53.560 --> 04:31:57.800 once the thermite peeks. Because with 30 seconds remaining there's only so much you can do. 04:31:58.680 --> 04:32:02.040 When you have the vertical angles you've lost the control there, you're gonna need to play a bit 04:32:02.040 --> 04:32:06.280 reactive. Ape hops in, there are no angles actually directly above this planter and that's where the 04:32:06.280 --> 04:32:12.680 the C4 was pre-placed. The whole round, it has been in that exact spot, on default, ready 04:32:12.680 --> 04:32:18.440 for Waybo to move in, to on detonates, and that's the round. Huffin can go pick this 04:32:18.440 --> 04:32:22.800 back up, he can try, but Speakeasy needs to cover, needs to get all three as he's worried 04:32:22.800 --> 04:32:27.000 about the Verge. Huffin actually should be able to get this diffuser down as Enterprise, 04:32:27.000 --> 04:32:31.000 instead of directly challenging the diffuser, go to retake the vertical instead. Speakeasy 04:32:31.000 --> 04:32:35.560 spritz again to the garage, will actually spot the Goyo for bop and spots him. An important 04:32:35.560 --> 04:32:38.560 The first to potentially three as another walks down the corner. 04:32:38.560 --> 04:32:40.560 It's now just Jigsaw and Speakeasy. 04:32:40.560 --> 04:32:44.560 This might be the third 1v1 so far, but Webo need any round to get their hands on. 04:32:44.560 --> 04:32:49.560 Speakeasy got a push. Speakeasy needs to push, and he'll push all too late. 04:32:49.560 --> 04:32:53.560 Enterprise have been consistent. It's their first clutch of the series, 04:32:53.560 --> 04:32:56.560 but it's another knife to Webo's heart. 04:32:56.560 --> 04:33:01.560 Even when things start to look like they are going right for Webo, they go wrong. 04:33:01.560 --> 04:33:05.900 the post plan where's the post plan I've drilled this into you please don't let 04:33:05.900 --> 04:33:11.280 me down where is the post plan for storage it's in outside of the window 04:33:11.280 --> 04:33:18.280 get yourself outside all you've got to do is get yourself outside outside garage 04:33:18.280 --> 04:33:23.280 in the window I don't even think the wall was open no I don't think the wall was 04:33:23.280 --> 04:33:28.560 open to be fair it's always gonna be tough isn't it and that was one of the 04:33:28.560 --> 04:33:29.840 Were... 04:33:29.840 --> 04:33:31.200 Those are one of the worst examples. 04:33:31.200 --> 04:33:34.080 It was one of the examples where Enterprise kind of throw himself at the problem. 04:33:34.080 --> 04:33:38.440 We got people jumping over the top rope inside a warehouse and maybe just floating. 04:33:38.440 --> 04:33:39.920 Some mistakes. Some mistakes. 04:33:39.920 --> 04:33:41.240 The door was open. 04:33:41.240 --> 04:33:43.480 Speakeasy very much had the opportunity there. 04:33:43.480 --> 04:33:46.360 But he'd just given too much space to jigsaw and I think the call was brilliant. 04:33:46.360 --> 04:33:49.080 Because the player was not downed and not finished. 04:33:49.080 --> 04:33:52.560 There was a lot of information that Bapping could exchange. 04:33:52.560 --> 04:33:54.280 Didn't get finished straight away. 04:33:54.280 --> 04:33:58.520 Now, oftentimes we'll say sometimes you don't need to chase after kills, sometimes you do need to chase after kills, 04:33:58.520 --> 04:34:02.800 It's a bit it's a varying standard that was an occasion where you need to chase after the kill and you need to get him 04:34:02.800 --> 04:34:05.560 Gone quickly because all happens doing is just looking at speak easy 04:34:05.560 --> 04:34:09.840 He's just killed him and he can give all the information in the world and say hey Jake 04:34:09.920 --> 04:34:15.260 He's still not moved. He's still not and if jigsaw's already started to disable that diffuser 04:34:17.760 --> 04:34:23.560 Crazy kills from Brenda to start by the way that double was insane also good lurk for speak easy as well 04:34:23.640 --> 04:34:28.440 Sure doesn't clutch that what the 1v3, but in this game so far 04:34:28.440 --> 04:34:34.960 That was a really big kill not only to take down the clash but also just sneaking in gaining a bit of initiative when we go really needed an opening 04:34:34.960 --> 04:34:37.280 It's will put them in a 3v3. It took down a big operator 04:34:37.720 --> 04:34:39.980 Speak easy. We talk about a packless kills 04:34:39.980 --> 04:34:44.720 But I think if you want to also like give credit or credit to do really big individual plays from him in that round 04:34:44.720 --> 04:34:48.260 Not only with the gun skill, but again that mid round lurk. It's a shame. It did not pay off 04:34:49.320 --> 04:34:51.600 And I'm still thinking about that C4. I mean 04:34:52.280 --> 04:34:58.400 When I first noticed it was like 30 to 40 seconds before the diffuser went down and it was already pre-placed 04:34:58.440 --> 04:35:01.760 I cannot imagine how long it has been there for a while. 04:35:01.760 --> 04:35:03.360 It's been there for ages. 04:35:03.360 --> 04:35:05.760 Which is a big risk because it is a dry aged C4. 04:35:05.760 --> 04:35:08.480 You should be kind of aware of that. 04:35:08.480 --> 04:35:10.480 You hear the beef in, even a drone underneath. 04:35:10.480 --> 04:35:12.480 It's not uncommon to play pools on that side. 04:35:12.480 --> 04:35:15.040 So little drone underneath, you might have spotted that C4 and gone up. 04:35:15.040 --> 04:35:16.560 Yeah, okay, we'll deal with that when we go in. 04:35:16.560 --> 04:35:19.000 EMP it will shoot through the floor, whatever it might be. 04:35:20.000 --> 04:35:22.880 Enterprise, three rounds in a row now. 04:35:24.120 --> 04:35:27.120 And to be honest, round three feels like the sort of round 04:35:27.120 --> 04:35:30.480 maybe would have won on fortress through a clutch because the two rounds that they won 04:35:30.480 --> 04:35:35.680 were through clutches. It's now asking too much. That isn't going to be a consistent theme here. 04:35:35.680 --> 04:35:40.400 We can't constantly be asking to team for players to clutch up so that maybe we can win a couple 04:35:40.400 --> 04:35:44.000 of rounds. They're going to need to dig a little bit deeper than that. They've still got a timeout 04:35:44.000 --> 04:35:53.280 which I'm kind of surprised they've not used yet. Time will tell. Oh I was going to say if 04:35:53.280 --> 04:35:55.840 If you are winning engagements like that, you might be in rough shape. 04:35:57.360 --> 04:36:00.000 Just a one tap SMG-12 at the single window, not today. 04:36:01.920 --> 04:36:05.680 All five scanned for these Deathmark trackers. 04:36:05.680 --> 04:36:08.640 Really great information that Havin has at his fingertips. 04:36:09.360 --> 04:36:10.960 Why I'm really not even necessary at that point. 04:36:10.960 --> 04:36:14.320 Could freeze people of course, but for scanning, you've already got that job done. 04:36:14.800 --> 04:36:17.280 Be helpful alongside the Blackbeard Zodo canisters. 04:36:17.520 --> 04:36:20.800 Again, a good bit of insight into Enterprise's mentality. 04:36:20.800 --> 04:36:24.000 Waste of time, but also, you're up 3-0. 04:36:24.000 --> 04:36:27.100 They do have direct information on this too, Brow, I was going to say. 04:36:27.100 --> 04:36:29.100 That's the easiest 3-5 towards career. 04:36:29.100 --> 04:36:31.300 When in the battles we need to, that's what's important. 04:36:31.300 --> 04:36:33.800 5-E4 now, taking Garage, control off the back of it. 04:36:33.800 --> 04:36:35.800 Again, I like this as well with the Azami band. 04:36:35.800 --> 04:36:36.800 It's going to be easier. 04:36:36.800 --> 04:36:38.300 Brendo throws out a C4. 04:36:38.300 --> 04:36:39.800 That takes down the Blackbeard. 04:36:39.800 --> 04:36:41.300 That's unfortunate. 04:36:41.300 --> 04:36:43.300 We still have the Deathmark trackers as well. 04:36:43.300 --> 04:36:45.800 Havin can go below, use some of that verticality. 04:36:45.800 --> 04:36:46.800 Maybe clear the mirror window. 04:36:46.800 --> 04:36:47.800 Maybe clear the players on B. 04:36:47.800 --> 04:36:49.300 We've still got a minute and 20 seconds. 04:36:49.300 --> 04:36:50.300 So much time to work with. 04:36:50.300 --> 04:36:53.780 There is enough time here enough time for both teams really enough time for waiting to 04:36:54.380 --> 04:37:00.820 Continue to tighten this net enough time for enterprise to just reposition ever so slightly 200 Brembo both dug quite deep 04:37:01.780 --> 04:37:03.940 Not been given too much of a reason to move at the minute 04:37:03.940 --> 04:37:08.500 Two hands steal the C4 in his pocket players now starting to congregate at the bottom of these fish stairs 04:37:08.740 --> 04:37:11.260 Hovin thinking about a bit of a walk-up for me 04:37:11.260 --> 04:37:13.860 He's got a minute and he's got everyone available on a death mark 04:37:13.860 --> 04:37:17.900 You should probably try and make that happen a little bit a little bit of dirt through the floor 04:37:17.900 --> 04:37:21.560 Now look at this, with the fish player falling, 04:37:21.560 --> 04:37:25.480 I think Wave-O correctly identifying that this side is completely exposed. 04:37:25.480 --> 04:37:30.540 Brenda-O taking an angle, you got to be careful, but you can play the trades on this side. 04:37:30.540 --> 04:37:34.360 Bapin and Cairo can only do so much. Double swing, good trade. 04:37:34.360 --> 04:37:36.920 Wave-O playing this very well fundamentally. 04:37:36.920 --> 04:37:38.440 Reaps down, moving in with the diffuser. 04:37:38.440 --> 04:37:41.840 Bapin with his back turned, that is unfortunate timing on the ARX. 04:37:41.840 --> 04:37:45.120 They've got this player locked in IT, they've moved into the post. 04:37:45.120 --> 04:37:49.120 They're bapping on low HP as well. Okay, off they tagged up a little bit. 04:37:49.120 --> 04:37:51.120 They've also spotted the backside player. 04:37:51.120 --> 04:37:54.120 Cairo running straight into the air jab flashed as well. 04:37:54.120 --> 04:37:57.120 It's my few Wavos first clean round in a while. 04:37:57.120 --> 04:38:05.120 No 1 VX necessary. The first genuine full victory from Wavo coming exactly when they needed it. 04:38:05.120 --> 04:38:09.120 Round 4 of Labs. A big pivotal moment there for Wavoo. 04:38:09.120 --> 04:38:14.120 Is that going to be the sign of the momentum starting to break here in this game? 04:38:14.120 --> 04:38:16.760 We're already starting to see some cracks 04:38:16.760 --> 04:38:18.600 starting to show an enterprise. 04:38:18.600 --> 04:38:20.320 Now, that might sound strange. 04:38:20.320 --> 04:38:21.720 They have won three rounds. 04:38:21.720 --> 04:38:23.560 One came very close. 04:38:23.560 --> 04:38:25.400 Came down to one versus one. 04:38:25.400 --> 04:38:27.680 Third, three came round one as well, 04:38:27.680 --> 04:38:30.120 but a good recovery from Brenda. 04:38:30.120 --> 04:38:33.200 Play that isn't stepping up at the moment for Enterprise, 04:38:33.200 --> 04:38:35.240 who has been not only a big talker, 04:38:35.240 --> 04:38:38.280 but also a big performer, is Jigsaw. 04:38:38.280 --> 04:38:40.680 And it's the games where Jigsaw lacks behind 04:38:40.680 --> 04:38:42.240 that we see this team struggle. 04:38:42.240 --> 04:38:43.600 Now, Brenda seven and two, 04:38:43.600 --> 04:38:46.400 He's doing a reasonable job of carrying his buddy there. 04:38:46.400 --> 04:38:49.640 But who's carrying Cairo at 0-1-4? 04:38:49.640 --> 04:38:54.240 Because between Jig and Cairo, they've got one kill between them in five rounds. 04:38:54.240 --> 04:39:00.720 Okay, we've not seen all of round five yet, but you get the picture, you get the premise. 04:39:00.720 --> 04:39:02.680 Get the idea. 04:39:02.680 --> 04:39:06.720 There's a game here if we want it. 04:39:06.720 --> 04:39:08.920 Just depends how badly they want it. 04:39:08.920 --> 04:39:11.320 Depends how badly they want it. 04:39:11.320 --> 04:39:15.240 depends what they can find, what they can do for themselves. 04:39:15.240 --> 04:39:18.280 They've got the first, and they played very good trades 04:39:18.280 --> 04:39:19.360 in that late round. 04:39:19.360 --> 04:39:21.880 I think also, when I was talking about playing the team 04:39:21.880 --> 04:39:23.860 in front of them, when Enterprise slipped up, 04:39:23.860 --> 04:39:24.800 gave them a little bit of an opening, 04:39:24.800 --> 04:39:26.160 they were ready to take it. 04:39:27.600 --> 04:39:29.760 There's a lot of good we can look to in that round. 04:39:29.760 --> 04:39:31.760 The thing about for Weibo going forward, 04:39:32.920 --> 04:39:35.240 one thing that we'll need to see here, 04:39:35.240 --> 04:39:36.560 dealing with this vertical play, 04:39:36.560 --> 04:39:39.640 we literally did not see a single player, 04:39:39.640 --> 04:39:46.640 A single bit of utility from Wayvo last time this site was attacked, to deal with that player up top, inside of storage. 04:39:46.640 --> 04:39:51.640 We need to see it this time, but the soloist there, she simply cannot be allowed to survive. 04:39:51.640 --> 04:39:54.640 Or an absolute minimum cannot be allowed to play in that position. 04:39:54.640 --> 04:39:59.640 They've gone for a slightly different approach as well. They've got the Dukabee and the Deimos this time. 04:39:59.640 --> 04:40:06.640 No lion to round it out as a trifecta, but also no ram going for Hobbit on book instead of the ram. 04:40:06.640 --> 04:40:13.120 ram. Maybe going to be a little bit more precise, a little bit more accurate with where they 04:40:13.120 --> 04:40:18.520 are making those rotations or making that vert. Either way, it's going to have to be 04:40:18.520 --> 04:40:22.680 done. The better clear of the top floor is going to be required, but that also needs 04:40:22.680 --> 04:40:28.040 to transition into a successful clear down below. Grendel, caught out on the remnants 04:40:28.040 --> 04:40:32.880 of the logic bomb and reaps. Doesn't know which way to turn. Cairo putting him in a 04:40:32.880 --> 04:40:37.760 Blender right there. He finally gets his first kill panic smoke just trying to disappear out of that engagement 04:40:38.400 --> 04:40:42.280 Cairo blind will buy a one-shot with the boss G hoping he gets lucky 04:40:43.040 --> 04:40:49.080 Not today unfortunately jigsaw. He's truck. They're trying to deal with them inside of storage. We give them credit for that 04:40:49.520 --> 04:40:53.920 He takes one in the prop in the process and it's the Deimos to be taken down 04:40:54.320 --> 04:40:58.760 Be such a good player to hunt down any of these remaining defenders down below 04:40:58.760 --> 04:41:02.760 but as he falls and speakies, he's out of Dokeby canisters, or Dokeby calls. 04:41:04.760 --> 04:41:09.760 Again, in a position where a Weibo are lacking tools, when they need every advantage they can get, 04:41:09.760 --> 04:41:12.760 and a 3v4 to bring things back, oh, bopping. 04:41:12.760 --> 04:41:14.760 All the long flank. 04:41:14.760 --> 04:41:16.760 And he's playing patient, too. 04:41:16.760 --> 04:41:19.760 Sitting behind the pillar, waiting. 04:41:19.760 --> 04:41:25.760 Ollie, he is going to hit this with the perfect time, just creeping up through garage, vertical angle. 04:41:25.760 --> 04:41:30.240 He just might spot Huffin down below, the Buck instead. 04:41:30.240 --> 04:41:33.760 Moving to the side, just slips through. 04:41:33.760 --> 04:41:36.760 Again, more information as another goes to clear. 04:41:36.760 --> 04:41:39.920 He gets one up top and another down below. 04:41:39.920 --> 04:41:42.960 Bopping across two dimensions, making it work. 04:41:42.960 --> 04:41:45.360 The third might slip past, 04:41:45.360 --> 04:41:47.920 but he's sealed around for enterprise. 04:41:47.920 --> 04:41:51.600 Speak easy again, left in this clutch. 04:41:51.600 --> 04:41:53.080 One versus three. 04:41:53.080 --> 04:41:57.080 has the diffuser but only has 18 seconds to play with. 04:41:57.080 --> 04:42:02.080 No major denial, but Enterprise, they're doing what they do best 04:42:02.080 --> 04:42:07.080 and that is not move, wait until the opportune moment presents. 04:42:07.080 --> 04:42:13.080 If a Brenda, that was then, swings around, cleans things up there 04:42:13.080 --> 04:42:18.080 and another round chalked up for Enterprise and a better win on the balance of things 04:42:18.080 --> 04:42:21.080 because we've seen a couple of clutchy rounds so far from Enterprise. 04:42:21.080 --> 04:42:23.960 We've seen a very top-heavy contribution. 04:42:25.160 --> 04:42:27.680 Seen a top-heavy contribution, and also to give Waybo credit, 04:42:28.080 --> 04:42:31.640 some actually genuine attempts there to throw off Enterprise 04:42:31.840 --> 04:42:34.640 that really came down to some individual players getting important kills. 04:42:35.000 --> 04:42:37.320 They pressured Jigsaw, Jigsaw was able to get a kill, 04:42:37.480 --> 04:42:38.600 but he's quickly traded out. 04:42:38.840 --> 04:42:40.840 Really, the big moment is this kill right here. 04:42:40.840 --> 04:42:42.960 The fact that Kairos is able to get Reeps in Garage, 04:42:43.280 --> 04:42:45.080 that kind of affects the rest of the game. 04:42:45.080 --> 04:42:47.640 Like, yes, obviously a big two-piece from Boppin. 04:42:47.640 --> 04:42:54.380 But imagine if REAPS doesn't go down and they're able to at least maybe get a 4-4 on a jigsaw and then isolate on the Cairo, 04:42:54.380 --> 04:42:59.200 it's kind of a different game. Then you have an advantage, you can focus a bit more on controlling the flank up top, 04:42:59.200 --> 04:43:06.280 you don't just have Ape going up, taking a 1v1 with the Ella, it's a bit of a different situation and unfortunately, 04:43:06.280 --> 04:43:13.360 to spin that positive into a negative, it is REAPS again in these moments. How consistent has it been? 04:43:13.360 --> 04:43:20.940 One of the first one to two dead in these rounds not having really any impact and again being easy fodder for enterprise 04:43:20.940 --> 04:43:27.300 He has three kills through maps one and two three kills in 14 rounds 04:43:29.060 --> 04:43:31.060 It's just uncharacteristic at this point 04:43:31.060 --> 04:43:31.960 I 04:43:31.960 --> 04:43:37.700 Think back to I think about Reeves as a player and the first thing I think of is obviously the super high DPI 04:43:37.700 --> 04:43:39.700 It's a bit of a meme, isn't it? 04:43:40.380 --> 04:43:42.820 Aside from that like crazy player 04:43:43.360 --> 04:43:47.160 Crazy potential loads of kills usually but in this structure in this team 04:43:47.800 --> 04:43:55.020 It's just not able to find him as easily but then again who is like speakeasy's been a bit of a standout in this theory so far 04:43:55.020 --> 04:43:59.760 But even there four and four third six and four hoven yesterday 04:44:00.400 --> 04:44:05.560 But look at what happens when he goes two and five. This is and and that's the thing like we can talk you can focus on any 04:44:05.560 --> 04:44:09.380 Given round you can focus on reefs you can focus on how many first anybody but it's a team issue 04:44:09.380 --> 04:44:12.880 They're at the moment for Waybo. It is just pure and simple, a team issue. 04:44:12.880 --> 04:44:15.380 People always, I think, when does the team lose the team, but right now, 04:44:16.880 --> 04:44:19.880 Waybo's a 5, are just not there currently. 04:44:19.880 --> 04:44:23.380 There's still some good moments. I think Nighthaven has definitely looked better. 04:44:23.380 --> 04:44:27.380 The last round, there were still some moments in which they were keeping it competitive against Enterprise, 04:44:27.380 --> 04:44:29.380 and it only broke away towards the end. 04:44:30.380 --> 04:44:34.380 But it's still 4-1. It's still a chance that this half ends. 04:44:34.380 --> 04:44:38.880 And again, another basically 9-6-0, just like how fortress was. 04:44:38.880 --> 04:44:44.180 Clash on the board right now keeping things at bay up top Blackbeard thinking about hopping in down below 04:44:44.180 --> 04:44:47.960 It's exactly what speak ease you do. Hey, it's flying in over top 04:44:48.000 --> 04:44:54.080 He's good for the first but again the Blackbeard trade very quickly bopping with another jigsaw winning his fight on it 04:44:54.080 --> 04:44:57.720 And literally in less than 10 seconds 04:44:58.000 --> 04:45:01.800 It goes from a 5v5 to another 04:45:02.640 --> 04:45:03.880 enterprise 04:45:03.880 --> 04:45:06.860 Dominant advantage. We have seen so many 04:45:07.120 --> 04:45:13.880 5v1s, 4v1s, and it feels the worst enterprise can do at any given moment is a 3v1. 04:45:14.080 --> 04:45:21.060 Maybe around here, maybe around there for Waybo, but they are still at only three rounds over two maps and 04:45:21.620 --> 04:45:29.200 there's no other way of putting it. If Waybo want to survive, if Waybo want to make an argument, it must be 04:45:29.760 --> 04:45:31.760 better. 04:45:33.880 --> 04:45:37.880 Yeah, everyone get on the attack zone, get on the attack zone.

It is all about reality. Just trying to teach and impart something upon the youth. 04:47:57.840 --> 04:48:02.840 And really, he's done quite a good job. 5-1-1-2 currently for Enterprise. Still playing lights out. 04:48:02.840 --> 04:48:06.840 Really good fundamental siege. And the best highlight for me, Ollie. What's the first thing they talked about? 04:48:06.840 --> 04:48:09.840 We were here against Falcons before. Please, let's not lose our heads. 04:48:09.840 --> 04:48:15.840 That was for me as well. It's 0-0. Treated us fresh. And let's not make the same mistakes that we've made previously. 04:48:15.840 --> 04:48:19.280 previously and I think that's massive because it shows growth and it shows 04:48:19.280 --> 04:48:23.280 learning and it shows they are very mindful of the fact that it doesn't take 04:48:23.280 --> 04:48:27.200 long for things to slip it doesn't take long for something to just slide out of 04:48:27.200 --> 04:48:33.440 your control. Mike again, giving some very key words of wisdom, very different 04:48:33.440 --> 04:48:36.760 timeout from Wabri. I don't know if I'm like misunderstanding obviously we 04:48:36.760 --> 04:48:39.800 come through we listen to the Enterprise timeout first we've got the 04:48:39.800 --> 04:48:42.920 first minute there so we didn't get the first minute really of the Wabri timeout 04:48:42.920 --> 04:48:49.140 But it just felt like they were kind of planning for one round like it didn't feel like they were planning for 04:48:49.700 --> 04:48:54.680 It wasn't very top level. It was very like granular. It was like, oh, yeah, we'll play the class 04:48:54.680 --> 04:48:58.920 You know and maybe play a mirror and do this and should we go top floor or should we go basement? 04:48:58.920 --> 04:49:01.120 It's like that ain't gonna matter because you need to win it everywhere 04:49:01.620 --> 04:49:04.800 Like it should have matter where you start because you were all right 04:49:04.960 --> 04:49:09.760 Maybe if you want a certain operator before they get banned out and start around 10 then whatever 04:49:09.760 --> 04:49:15.000 But it just felt a little bit too granular. It felt a little bit too caught in the weeds and I think that's 04:49:15.440 --> 04:49:20.360 Maybe one of the reasons why we're seeing where the struggle is they need to just step back and look a little bit more big picture 04:49:23.080 --> 04:49:25.700 We I think everyone just really wants Waybo to reset 04:49:27.440 --> 04:49:29.680 APEC teams guaranteed to go we don't lose either way 04:49:30.560 --> 04:49:32.280 First time in three years 04:49:32.280 --> 04:49:37.440 We're all happy no matter who wins this game and so that means the only thing we want is something competitive 04:49:37.440 --> 04:49:44.440 You just want something that will make us all happy, something to give us some good seeds, something to give us something to talk about. 04:49:44.440 --> 04:49:46.440 And people might be talking at the end of this game. 04:49:46.440 --> 04:49:48.440 I really think so. 04:49:48.440 --> 04:49:50.440 I think the Enterprise aren't talking all that much. 04:49:50.440 --> 04:49:52.440 They've quietened down in the off-shot, haven't they? 04:49:52.440 --> 04:49:57.440 They'll talk after rounds, but beyond that it's just like, what do you say at this point? 04:49:57.440 --> 04:49:58.440 What do you say? 04:49:58.440 --> 04:50:02.440 Well, for Turd, he says, you're not getting that angle. I've seen that one before. I've seen that at this tournament. 04:50:02.440 --> 04:50:04.440 You're not getting that over me. 04:50:04.440 --> 04:50:10.360 An ass angle, what a predictable one, two-hand. Going down, best thing you guys have done. 04:50:12.040 --> 04:50:17.080 Oh, it turns, turned the old shot on, so at least gonna be a participant there. 04:50:17.960 --> 04:50:21.080 Reeps, trying to reactivate that laser gate. 04:50:21.080 --> 04:50:23.560 This Cairo is looking to start to push in now. 04:50:23.560 --> 04:50:27.240 He's able to bait out a thorn trap as well, and with the laser gate reactivating, 04:50:28.040 --> 04:50:31.000 he's gonna require Jigsaw on the faction to do something about it. 04:50:31.000 --> 04:50:34.200 And Cairo, not really got the space to take that control yet. 04:50:34.200 --> 04:50:38.520 We kind of joked and dogged on seeing a few shield earlier. We've got it here for round seven 04:50:39.080 --> 04:50:44.440 That guy we're trying to make it work. Don't know how effective he's going to be able to use these cluster charges just 04:50:45.080 --> 04:50:49.080 Already we've seen some struggles over on the connector side. So I think getting into position might be quite difficult 04:50:49.720 --> 04:50:51.720 So we see some diversification 04:50:52.920 --> 04:50:54.920 Popping going down below with the deathmark trackers 04:50:55.480 --> 04:50:57.480 That you're creeping in the it 04:50:58.360 --> 04:51:00.360 launcher in hand 04:51:00.360 --> 04:51:06.960 Grov control fully taken by the attacking team and so the cluster charges will go out as they try to open up some of these angles 04:51:07.080 --> 04:51:10.920 Explosives hitting all around Reeves his feet though doesn't actually lose any HP in the process 04:51:11.040 --> 04:51:15.440 We even take a very aggressive line on the hole opened by the can opener 04:51:15.880 --> 04:51:18.440 He's got three different players that might turn towards him 04:51:19.800 --> 04:51:22.600 Some great information being gathered by Cairo at the minute 04:51:23.640 --> 04:51:27.640 It's gonna be only a matter of moments until we see a player rotate onto this fish side 04:51:27.640 --> 04:51:32.220 And I think that Waybu recognizing that and they're starting to understand that that is going to be a factor 04:51:32.560 --> 04:51:35.360 Bappin gets the kill over onto Reeps Cairo himself 04:51:35.360 --> 04:51:41.520 He's going to be the one to make that rotation over towards fish is made starts come up from below and further displays some of these attackers 04:51:42.840 --> 04:51:46.160 Just continue doing damage up a tagged up from behind the shield 04:51:46.160 --> 04:51:52.200 This can only be safe haven for so long as Enterprise recovering from that deficit way below holding on 04:51:52.920 --> 04:51:57.080 nails fighting into the grip just trying to keep a hold on this round and 04:51:57.640 --> 04:52:02.200 Trying to stop match point. Ape has been trapped behind the shield. 04:52:02.200 --> 04:52:07.480 It has become a prison and yet you just three more seconds are all that's required. 04:52:07.480 --> 04:52:10.280 And it should be enough to keep Weibo in the fight. 04:52:10.840 --> 04:52:17.160 Enterprise understand they will let it slip through and Weibo for the first round on defense. 04:52:17.160 --> 04:52:20.680 Get, I don't know, any more important victory than this. 04:52:21.400 --> 04:52:26.280 Clash being a really key factor there. Ape able to set up shop. 04:52:26.280 --> 04:52:31.840 and continued to play that clash shield despite the damage from below, despite 04:52:31.840 --> 04:52:37.080 flu's cost of charge, despite nades, despite the facture. The clash saw 04:52:37.080 --> 04:52:43.320 incredible value there for that top floor. Big opening kill as well, turd. Taking 04:52:43.320 --> 04:52:46.920 down 2-an. 04:52:46.920 --> 04:52:52.800 See the old chat kicking off in between these rounds now. We start to get to what 04:52:52.800 --> 04:52:56.160 the business end of things is more than likely gonna heat up a little bit. 04:52:56.160 --> 04:53:02.480 in there. Round number eight we're going to be headed downstairs. Assembly room and tank. 04:53:02.480 --> 04:53:10.240 No clash this time for Waby. Instead a little bit of castle play. I'm trying to reinforce some 04:53:10.240 --> 04:53:15.400 of these areas upstairs. Just give a little bit more fortification to play from. Hatch is being 04:53:15.400 --> 04:53:20.960 reinforced as well so no we're not going to be looking to try and firmly hold up here and then 04:53:20.960 --> 04:53:24.960 drop back at the hatches at a later point. Instead it's going to be far more typical. It's just 04:53:24.960 --> 04:53:28.400 going to be a case of holding space for as long as they can and then making the 04:53:28.400 --> 04:53:30.800 way down Exo and cargo appropriately. 04:53:33.440 --> 04:53:36.520 Some big changes by Enterprise in the attacking operator lineup. We got the 04:53:36.520 --> 04:53:39.200 Monty coming through but also some switches towards the Dokobie and the 04:53:39.200 --> 04:53:44.360 Snake. So much information that Enterprise is trying to gather. Turd, picking up on 04:53:44.360 --> 04:53:49.860 something outside of the house single window. He'll dip off and move into 04:53:49.860 --> 04:53:54.320 kitchen. This gives Enterprise an idea. There might be a solo roam or moving 04:53:54.320 --> 04:53:59.020 around the middle floor and with a Monty and a Doke being a snake, can't think of any better 04:53:59.020 --> 04:54:03.080 tools you have to isolate her and finish him off. 04:54:03.080 --> 04:54:05.840 Seems like they might move away from that idea though. 04:54:05.840 --> 04:54:11.040 Kylo taking a lot of damage, not entirely sure from where, but below half HP. 04:54:11.040 --> 04:54:14.760 That could be problematic, especially if they decide to go for a single pinch later. 04:54:14.760 --> 04:54:17.000 Great C4 by Hovind. 04:54:17.000 --> 04:54:19.240 Brendo sent out early on within the first minute. 04:54:19.240 --> 04:54:20.640 That's a soft breach as well. 04:54:20.640 --> 04:54:22.520 They've not brought a ram, they've not brought a book. 04:54:22.520 --> 04:54:26.120 They were relying on Brendo to make a lot of this soft destruction happen and without 04:54:26.120 --> 04:54:28.520 that it's going to be very difficult from here on in. 04:54:28.520 --> 04:54:31.680 That top floor pressure that they've got, it's not worth as much because they're not able 04:54:31.680 --> 04:54:35.880 to open up an effect onto that mid-floor and then when and if they do get that mid-floor 04:54:35.880 --> 04:54:39.960 control there's even less that they're going to be able to do later on. 04:54:39.960 --> 04:54:43.600 Bapping, trying to flash out at the top cargo and make something happen and they're just 04:54:43.600 --> 04:54:45.400 going to have to go a little bit more direct. 04:54:45.400 --> 04:54:49.720 Any advantage they were hoping to have from above is now entirely nullified and a lot's 04:54:49.720 --> 04:54:53.000 What's going to have to happen off the back of Cairo in the shield? 04:54:53.000 --> 04:54:56.120 A lot really has to happen, especially when you consider there are four defenders on this 04:54:56.120 --> 04:54:57.120 middle floor right now. 04:54:57.120 --> 04:55:01.560 They're a bit spread out, but they can all trade each other, move into the right positions. 04:55:01.560 --> 04:55:03.440 Such an important kill as well. 04:55:03.440 --> 04:55:08.320 That Monty was soft enough and Turd makes good off of that earlier effort. 04:55:08.320 --> 04:55:10.000 Both Dopey calls used. 04:55:10.000 --> 04:55:14.800 Jigsaw's utility becomes more and more important and enterprise need bigger and bigger performances 04:55:14.800 --> 04:55:16.520 in order to bring this back. 04:55:16.520 --> 04:55:19.220 One player spotted of many still around the middle floor. 04:55:19.220 --> 04:55:21.420 Speekies, he gets another through the wall. 04:55:21.420 --> 04:55:26.880 It might have taken a long time, but Weibo just finding their way back into it could 04:55:26.880 --> 04:55:31.940 have been a flawless round if Chuhan in a 1v5 didn't get that kill. 04:55:31.940 --> 04:55:35.700 But so long as Weibo don't give engagement after engagement to this Thermite, they are 04:55:35.700 --> 04:55:37.460 beginning to claw things back. 04:55:37.460 --> 04:55:44.240 If they can close this out, round nine might be the moment, might be the three minutes 04:55:44.240 --> 04:55:45.940 that night haven hinges on. 04:55:47.140 --> 04:55:51.040 Another big round there for maybe they are starting to fight back a little bit here. 04:55:51.840 --> 04:55:56.040 Two successful rounds on the defense and all that was banging around my head as 04:55:56.040 --> 04:55:58.940 we were listening and watching to the close of that round. 04:55:59.740 --> 04:56:03.740 With my first words in the time out, obviously aside from look at me and 04:56:03.740 --> 04:56:05.440 you know, look at me when I'm talking to you. 04:56:06.340 --> 04:56:07.340 Zero zero. 04:56:07.640 --> 04:56:10.140 This is night haven. Oh, this is labs attack. 04:56:10.140 --> 04:56:16.640 Recognizing that this is maybe something that Enterprise doesn't necessarily have a problem with, 04:56:16.640 --> 04:56:21.640 but it potentially doesn't come as easy as fortress attacks did to them, for example, 04:56:21.640 --> 04:56:26.140 because they are coming up against considerable opposition right now. 04:56:26.140 --> 04:56:30.640 That is not a complicated hold the way we've just pulled out by any stretch. 04:56:30.640 --> 04:56:35.640 Fairly straightforward to do. This gets a lot more techy. 04:56:35.640 --> 04:56:39.560 Skopos in the thorn. 04:56:39.560 --> 04:56:47.000 That's true it does, but also keep in mind, they played SR yesterday, who had been running 04:56:47.000 --> 04:56:54.040 a Skopos kitchen dining strat, basically since Spoi joined the team, who was playing that 04:56:54.040 --> 04:56:59.220 up when he was also on M80 on this exact site. 04:56:59.220 --> 04:57:01.480 When Maya was on Liquid, they ran a similar strat. 04:57:01.480 --> 04:57:02.480 This is not new either. 04:57:02.480 --> 04:57:04.480 There might maybe it's new for Waybo who knows but 04:57:05.780 --> 04:57:11.200 Enterprise have literally ran into this exact strategy or something very similar to it in the past day 04:57:11.680 --> 04:57:15.640 Clash and thorn as you pointed out they are added variables. You have to consider 04:57:15.640 --> 04:57:20.480 They're going to complicate things but even then enterprise they've been in something comparable before 04:57:21.000 --> 04:57:25.960 It's more complicated. There is a core that they've experienced within the past 24 hours 04:57:26.720 --> 04:57:28.720 If here they still really struggle 04:57:28.720 --> 04:57:32.960 Mag's definitely going to call that tactical timeout, but Wave-O might be fully back in 04:57:32.960 --> 04:57:33.960 it. 04:57:33.960 --> 04:57:38.880 Just a quick push as Boppin moving in with the Bering 9, maybe moving a bit more comfortable. 04:57:38.880 --> 04:57:42.160 Just creeping up, hoping that Castle pushes through, doesn't even need to do it. 04:57:42.160 --> 04:57:47.200 As Cairo instead, with the M762 gets his man, Boppin as well, just popped towards head, 04:57:47.200 --> 04:57:50.080 speak easy, down for the count as well. 04:57:50.080 --> 04:57:55.280 Enterprise just needed a reminder, needed some indicator to jog their memory, to knock 04:57:55.280 --> 04:57:56.880 things loose. 04:57:56.880 --> 04:57:59.500 And again, it's a clash, stuck behind her shield. 04:57:59.500 --> 04:58:04.520 It's again Reeps, two players on Weibo with so much to do. 04:58:04.520 --> 04:58:06.480 He's got an important pick. 04:58:06.480 --> 04:58:10.440 Afe now creeping around the staircase, could catch the Capitao off guard. 04:58:10.440 --> 04:58:11.440 It's a good flick. 04:58:11.440 --> 04:58:14.680 He needs to get another, but Boppin's ready for it. 04:58:14.680 --> 04:58:20.920 And Reeps, now marching back down fish stairs, information on one at the end of the hallway, 04:58:20.920 --> 04:58:24.520 but using the clash's own shield against the defense. 04:58:24.520 --> 04:58:28.240 What does he need to do as Enterprise keep moving in? 04:58:28.240 --> 04:58:29.240 Kai run out down. 04:58:29.240 --> 04:58:31.120 Information on another. 04:58:31.120 --> 04:58:33.760 Reeps has struggled so much this whole series. 04:58:33.760 --> 04:58:35.800 He's damaging them so much. 04:58:35.800 --> 04:58:36.800 Sophia down. 04:58:36.800 --> 04:58:38.440 Glass 1 HP. 04:58:38.440 --> 04:58:41.880 Just something needs to break his way as he spots the ram. 04:58:41.880 --> 04:58:43.560 They are all tucked in one corner. 04:58:43.560 --> 04:58:53.520 A C4 would have done so much, but a thorn with no hope to do, it is now six rounds promotion 04:58:53.520 --> 04:58:59.860 point for Enterprise. Enterprise just needed a little bit of a brief reminder, a slap 04:58:59.860 --> 04:59:05.260 round the face from Wayboo with those two rounds, seven and eight, and round nine 04:59:05.260 --> 04:59:12.100 Enterprise come out swinging. Very quick entry. Yes, Tom. Very quick entry toward 04:59:12.100 --> 04:59:14.800 that first kill. 04:59:15.360 --> 04:59:21.200 Third, hoping that there's a comeback on the cards, trying to manifest something in 04:59:21.200 --> 04:59:27.940 the old chat. There's only been one king of the old chat so far and it's been pretty 04:59:27.940 --> 04:59:32.060 much everyone at Enterprise. Mainly Jig as he comes out with some of the funnier stuff 04:59:32.060 --> 04:59:42.740 but they sit now in promotion point. Game on Friday, the live stage, only a couple of 04:59:42.740 --> 04:59:49.260 minutes away. Wayboo. They've only got themselves to turn to here, Lynx. They've shown us that 04:59:49.260 --> 04:59:54.300 can do it. I guess that's one of the frustrating things. Round 7, round 8, if they'd been playing 04:59:54.300 --> 04:59:58.700 like that from the start of the series, we maybe would have seen a little bit of something. 04:59:58.700 --> 05:00:03.340 There was a lot more togetherness about it. Enterprise have obviously dwarfed them today. 05:00:03.340 --> 05:00:09.820 It's been a night and day difference. There has been a contest there, but it's mainly come off 05:00:09.820 --> 05:00:13.420 the back of clutch plays. It's mainly come off the back of individuals with Wavy, whereas you can 05:00:13.420 --> 05:00:27.420 You can look at that enterprise side, you can't really pick, Bappin, Bendo, either one of those two as MVP for the labs in particular, but then Jigsaw, massive contribution on Fortress, it's difficult to say, everyone's at their own part of the puzzle supply. 05:00:28.420 --> 05:00:35.420 Everyone's played a factor for sure. Everyone has been involved to some extent, in some way shape or form, just a really impressive team that we've seen. 05:00:35.420 --> 05:00:39.980 We've seen, could Vero be our first APL representative 05:00:39.980 --> 05:00:41.700 to the main stage in three years. 05:00:41.700 --> 05:00:43.420 Well, it's guaranteed they'll be one of these teams, 05:00:43.420 --> 05:00:45.980 but it might just be Enterprise who do it. 05:00:47.540 --> 05:00:49.820 This location, we will just need three in a row, 05:00:49.820 --> 05:00:51.220 just need three in a row. 05:00:52.100 --> 05:00:53.900 But they won second floor, they won basement. 05:00:53.900 --> 05:00:55.940 This could be six, five, and a seven, five, 05:00:55.940 --> 05:00:58.740 all things considered, that'd be close. 05:00:58.740 --> 05:01:00.460 That'd be competitive. 05:01:00.460 --> 05:01:01.860 We know Waybo can win these sides, 05:01:01.860 --> 05:01:03.700 but the clash band, it's going to be different. 05:01:03.700 --> 05:01:08.660 Flash was very important to these defenses, but in particular to this second floor. 05:01:08.660 --> 05:01:13.260 Turd also been important to these defenses as well, but the opening picked that round. 05:01:13.260 --> 05:01:16.460 It was a lot of good for Wave-O throughout. 05:01:16.460 --> 05:01:22.860 And so, as the Enterprise do the normal stuff, the opening exterior, breaches, IT, connector, 05:01:22.860 --> 05:01:25.460 all the stuff we expect these Night Haven attackers to do. 05:01:25.460 --> 05:01:28.900 Wave-O are just playing their positions right now. 05:01:28.900 --> 05:01:29.900 Nobody's pushing too far. 05:01:29.900 --> 05:01:34.540 some players down below, but they are inviting Enterprise to come fight them. 05:01:37.660 --> 05:01:41.820 I think that's the key at the moment for Wavy. Leave that invitation open. 05:01:43.900 --> 05:01:48.220 Make Enterprise search you out here. Brenda, taking a little bit of damage. Jigsaw, 05:01:48.220 --> 05:01:53.900 slightly softened up already. A little bit of a HP deficit so far for Enterprise. 05:01:53.900 --> 05:01:56.940 You can almost feel the weight of this round. 05:01:56.940 --> 05:01:58.940 Is it slow? 05:01:58.940 --> 05:02:03.940 Bappen gets off the drone at the wrong moment, routed to the spot. 05:02:03.940 --> 05:02:06.940 Hoven doesn't want to move. 05:02:06.940 --> 05:02:08.940 Bappen should be dead. 05:02:08.940 --> 05:02:11.940 There should be a flank on the cards here. 05:02:11.940 --> 05:02:14.940 It all depends on how Hoven plays his hand. 05:02:14.940 --> 05:02:17.940 He just has to push up. 05:02:17.940 --> 05:02:19.940 That is all he needs to do. 05:02:19.940 --> 05:02:20.940 Oh, jig might know. 05:02:20.940 --> 05:02:21.940 No, surely. 05:02:21.940 --> 05:02:27.940 Jigsaw's going to check again. Sprinting through, but Hovind's making his way up. 05:02:27.940 --> 05:02:32.940 If he just makes it to the next floor, if he just makes it, oh, but he's looking. 05:02:32.940 --> 05:02:35.940 Even if he doesn't know, he's got a feeling. 05:02:35.940 --> 05:02:40.940 48 seconds though. A lot of energy being wasted, and now turning his attention back. 05:02:40.940 --> 05:02:45.940 It is not clear information. They are not certain he's looking the wrong way. 05:02:45.940 --> 05:02:50.940 He misses his first chance, but he gets it on the second, and Jigsaw's down below. 05:02:50.940 --> 05:02:54.060 That means there are only three attackers on this top floor. 05:02:54.060 --> 05:02:57.700 Hovind can just bathe the attention of the rest, and that'll be uncertainty. 05:02:58.200 --> 05:03:03.840 Playing in the minds of Enterprise, casting doubts on their plan, and they are still not committing. 05:03:03.840 --> 05:03:06.940 Cairo, stuck outside, frozen by the Zodo. 05:03:06.940 --> 05:03:10.540 Hovind having more impact as he moves up house stairs. 05:03:11.040 --> 05:03:12.840 Jigsaw now trying to join the fray. 05:03:13.340 --> 05:03:16.340 Trying to outflank the flanker, but it feels like the moment's gone. 05:03:16.340 --> 05:03:19.740 One shot to the back of the head as clean as professionals can do it. 05:03:19.740 --> 05:03:26.100 Cairo has some crazy picks, but still only a 2v2 with two seconds remaining and a Razor 05:03:26.100 --> 05:03:28.620 Bloom does in their chances. 05:03:28.620 --> 05:03:35.740 Wave-o still some work to do, but another round and just one more brick in the wall. 05:03:35.740 --> 05:03:40.540 Hovham playing a masterful flank when it matters the most. 05:03:40.540 --> 05:03:48.660 Round 10, he attracted so much attention, not a lot of utility granted, but so much focus, 05:03:48.660 --> 05:03:56.020 So much time was spent on a ghost and eventually he makes his way up Exo's stairs and eventually 05:03:56.020 --> 05:04:01.580 he is able to move through and take down Bappin but Bappin distracted for the entirety was 05:04:01.580 --> 05:04:06.700 never able to focus on his primary job and that is use the skeleton key from below, rip 05:04:06.700 --> 05:04:12.140 open the floor and clear the way for the monty, clear the way for players upstairs. 05:04:12.140 --> 05:04:16.500 The second kill as well, I think that was a really kind of big problem because Hovind 05:04:16.500 --> 05:04:20.420 Not only does he get the kill on to Bappin, if he gets traded at that point, okay fine. 05:04:20.420 --> 05:04:24.020 But then he continues the flank and he comes full circle almost. 05:04:24.020 --> 05:04:28.740 Eventually getting taken down by Jigsaw, but two kills on the round was massive and a very big swing. 05:04:28.740 --> 05:04:35.060 Enterprise, I do worry because that's very different to the way that we've seen them play rounds up until this point. 05:04:35.060 --> 05:04:39.940 There was a little lack of confidence, there was a little lack of bite in closing out that round. 05:04:39.940 --> 05:04:40.860 10 seconds left. 05:04:44.360 --> 05:04:47.520 Can't have a worry that it's starting to slip a little bit. 05:04:47.520 --> 05:04:49.020 Kitchen dining was good. 05:04:49.020 --> 05:04:51.480 They got the tertiary site. 05:04:51.480 --> 05:04:55.640 And it feels very silly to say that round 12 might be the 05:04:55.640 --> 05:05:00.120 most important round in a 6-5 game if we get there. 05:05:00.120 --> 05:05:02.520 But Weibo are just keeping pace right now. 05:05:02.520 --> 05:05:05.040 They're winning the sites again, which is very good. 05:05:05.040 --> 05:05:06.640 It's very good that they're doing that. 05:05:06.640 --> 05:05:10.840 Enterprise, as you said, beginning to stall out, not to sys it. 05:05:12.440 --> 05:05:16.240 Giving Wave a lot of chances to get back in, Wave-o playing well on these defenses. 05:05:16.440 --> 05:05:21.240 Feels like we're starting to see the team that they've had the reputation of being, going through these flanks. 05:05:21.840 --> 05:05:25.240 Being exciting, being quite adept in the gunfights as well. 05:05:27.240 --> 05:05:33.040 Havin' as well, 8-0-8 now. It's a paltry scoreline compared to some of the high seas achieved, but in this series, 05:05:33.040 --> 05:05:37.100 This is exactly what we need to see. Roots hunting for some of these drones, 05:05:37.100 --> 05:05:43.360 now fall back. Swaybo look to defend basement and keep enterprise on the 05:05:43.360 --> 05:05:47.360 back foot to keep them guessing and also keep these attacks as slow as they 05:05:47.360 --> 05:05:51.800 can. The attacks have definitely slowed down as soon as Enterprise get 05:05:51.800 --> 05:05:55.520 themselves onto map and series point you can feel that level of pressure 05:05:55.520 --> 05:06:00.880 starting to seep through into the gameplay just ever so slightly. Jigsaw 05:06:00.880 --> 05:06:03.700 Oh, we'll be making this way in upstairs. 05:06:03.700 --> 05:06:05.500 Shouldn't have too much standing in his way. 05:06:05.500 --> 05:06:08.300 He's got a hoven over toward rafters. 05:06:08.300 --> 05:06:09.980 I think there's gonna be some drone information 05:06:09.980 --> 05:06:12.220 on Hoven's location just through where Jigsaw 05:06:12.220 --> 05:06:13.420 is aiming right now. 05:06:13.420 --> 05:06:14.940 Oh, I actually don't know. 05:06:14.940 --> 05:06:17.320 Two hands got a drone over toward fish side. 05:06:19.460 --> 05:06:21.380 Oh, they don't know. 05:06:21.380 --> 05:06:22.620 We haven't seen a full commit though, 05:06:22.620 --> 05:06:24.420 and Hoven will drop off. 05:06:24.420 --> 05:06:26.460 I'll look at the sound cue. 05:06:26.460 --> 05:06:27.660 Now the boogie drones go out, 05:06:27.660 --> 05:06:30.620 so Hoven and Reeves in a bit of a tricky position. 05:06:30.620 --> 05:06:33.860 Gotta be careful where they play this might be exposed these vertical angles 05:06:34.700 --> 05:06:39.280 Don't know if there's Intel on that top floor, but not detonating the C4 just yet. It's pre-placed 05:06:40.300 --> 05:06:44.580 Hoping to catch an attacker as we go talk about slow attacks two minutes into this round 05:06:44.580 --> 05:06:47.260 We are still on second floor. We have not even applied a 05:06:47.900 --> 05:06:53.700 Single bit of pressure to these mid floor defenders jigsaw blinding himself as he walks down fifth stairs 05:06:53.900 --> 05:06:59.900 It has been a struggle for enterprise just to get to this point in this point is basically step one and a half 05:06:59.900 --> 05:07:10.900 Enterprises have been really quick on the first three rounds of attack as well, all the kills coming in around the 2 minute, 15, 2 minute, 20 mark, this coming in at the 45 second mark, but it's a big one, it's Reeps going down. 05:07:13.900 --> 05:07:19.900 Now a weird engagement between the Monty and Speakeasy, trying to keep them at bay, no ADS! 05:07:19.900 --> 05:07:28.900 Speakeasy staying a bit too long and another player found on the roam, but again, it has taken so long for Enterprise to get to this point. 05:07:28.900 --> 05:07:32.900 Wabo again just need to hold on. 05:07:32.900 --> 05:07:38.900 Ape, a big pick onto Ram, onto Jigsaw, another spotted through the hatch. 05:07:38.900 --> 05:07:42.900 Cairo might get the trade, but turd on one HP, seven seconds. 05:07:42.900 --> 05:07:49.900 That's all he needs. Just one gunfight, one chance. He's got to win it, the one that matters most! 05:07:49.900 --> 05:07:57.900 And he falters at the finish line. Three years it's taken. An enterprise have their day. 05:07:57.900 --> 05:08:05.900 They are your first APL team, your only APL team to make Main Stage in SLC. 05:08:05.900 --> 05:08:12.860 there it is we finally get some Aussie representation on the main stage it has 05:08:12.860 --> 05:08:21.380 been so long in the making this team of players right here have done a fantastic 05:08:21.380 --> 05:08:29.620 job we have more seats coming up another qualification game right after this 05:12:05.900 --> 05:12:23.460 I'm here with Enterprise, the winning team and a historic win, Batman. 05:12:23.460 --> 05:12:26.700 We've talked about this a little bit already on broadcast. 05:12:26.700 --> 05:12:28.180 Haven't seen this happen for three years. 05:12:28.180 --> 05:12:31.260 An APL team make the main stage at a major. 05:12:31.260 --> 05:12:35.620 I mean, what's this feeling right now for you guys having worked through a long, arduous 05:12:35.620 --> 05:12:40.660 battle here over the course of these last couple of days and made it to the main stage. 05:12:40.660 --> 05:12:45.000 I feel like it's definitely been difficult, but overall we've been here last night to 05:12:45.000 --> 05:12:47.340 like 1am to 2am putting this prep in. 05:12:47.340 --> 05:12:51.260 So I think the results show like the work we're willing to do, main stage, that's just 05:12:51.260 --> 05:12:58.540 another achievement for us, for Australia, get another spot for our region, it's grateful. 05:12:58.540 --> 05:13:02.420 The prep it seems like, obviously the trash talk has been a huge part of your identity, 05:13:02.420 --> 05:13:08.380 So has the prep right we're hearing in these pauses in and at the halftime just how much work you guys are doing 05:13:08.580 --> 05:13:15.060 Tell me a little bit more about that what the process is like for you guys as you're studying up on an opponent like Waybo today 05:13:15.820 --> 05:13:22.840 Prep basically is just consists of Andreas Cairo that guys brain for the game is insane him and mag just bounce off each other really well 05:13:23.020 --> 05:13:25.660 We all sit here like pitch into each other's ideas 05:13:25.660 --> 05:13:32.660 is. We've scrimmed them all the time back home. We had a lot of info, nothing too crazy 05:13:32.660 --> 05:13:39.660 going into it. We know they'd play a bit like APAC, so we just predicted them all and got 05:13:39.660 --> 05:13:40.660 the result. 05:13:40.660 --> 05:13:44.660 Well, tell me a little more about your performance here, because obviously you know you've been 05:13:44.660 --> 05:13:48.660 having some good games, some more off games coming into this event, or coming into this 05:13:48.660 --> 05:13:53.780 game you were like minus five on the KD, playing decently well. Twenty and eleven or twenty 05:13:53.780 --> 05:13:57.460 one kills over the course of this series. What was different about today for you? 05:13:58.340 --> 05:14:00.780 I don't know. I just had a feeling today. You know, you just get that feeling. 05:14:00.780 --> 05:14:06.220 You're since the flow state had to do it. I don't know what to say. No, 05:14:06.220 --> 05:14:09.060 you're totally fine. I mean, you were absolutely electric out there. 05:14:09.060 --> 05:14:12.620 Now going into the main stage, you have all these teams again to face, 05:14:12.620 --> 05:14:16.220 to prep on, as I'm sure you guys will do. Anyone you're looking forward to beating, 05:14:16.220 --> 05:14:19.300 anyone you really want to, to trash talk into the ground again. 05:14:19.300 --> 05:14:24.380 I don't think there's anyone specific like whoever wants to vote starts taking a vote starts 05:14:25.580 --> 05:14:32.180 Nothing else amazing anything else you got to say to the to the fans out there the supporters of the Aussies of the one 05:14:32.420 --> 05:14:36.660 New Zealand player on the team. I just want to shout out my mom and my dad who are watching at home 05:14:37.060 --> 05:14:43.420 Appreciate the support my grandma everyone's supporting me from home all the Australian people watching our games enterprise of course and 05:14:43.900 --> 05:14:46.140 Appreciate Boston. It's major is really good 05:14:46.140 --> 05:14:48.140 Well congratulations on this win. 05:14:48.140 --> 05:14:50.140 We'll see you at the main stage in two days time. 05:14:50.140 --> 05:14:51.140 Congratulations on your performance. 05:14:51.140 --> 05:14:52.140 You played incredible. 05:14:52.140 --> 05:14:54.140 That is enterprise after the win. 05:14:54.140 --> 05:14:56.140 As we've set a historic win today, 05:14:56.140 --> 05:15:00.140 we will see them competing on the main stage this weekend. 05:15:46.140 --> 05:15:48.140 I 05:17:46.140 --> 05:18:15.700 What's up everyone, welcome back for the thrilling conclusion of the Swiss stage. 05:18:15.700 --> 05:18:20.340 I'm Harrison, and I'm, of course, joined by my recently completed leg surgery 05:18:20.840 --> 05:18:25.500 Castler, John, uh, I, I don't know what else to say. 05:18:25.540 --> 05:18:26.440 I came up with that. 05:18:26.440 --> 05:18:27.340 You can just keep coping. 05:18:28.740 --> 05:18:31.440 We have another interregional matchup. 05:18:31.440 --> 05:18:38.280 It is five fears versus wild card JJ nation versus spiker mafia and a rematch 05:18:38.380 --> 05:18:40.580 from the NAL kickoff finals. 05:18:41.320 --> 05:18:45.020 And in that matchup, specifically, Harrison, it was two and O victory 05:18:45.020 --> 05:18:51.780 For five years. They've had a rough start to Swiss stage. They played against FaZe and lost 7-5. They played against Virtus Pro 05:18:51.780 --> 05:18:58.940 They lost 7-5 but in the lower bracket. They've been near perfect having a great display of performance just yesterday 05:18:59.140 --> 05:19:03.300 Against all gamers, especially on Chalet. We've seen some 05:19:04.100 --> 05:19:09.060 inconsistencies towards again the beginning of stage or phase two I should say but they've looked 05:19:09.060 --> 05:19:16.460 significantly better in terms of improvement. Their entry stats almost all positive except for rival and he's one of their support players 05:19:16.460 --> 05:19:18.100 So that is still pretty impressive 05:19:18.100 --> 05:19:24.320 Yeah, they have at the very beginning if we remember after the first couple best of three snake was basically the only player 05:19:24.460 --> 05:19:26.460 Positive by more than a couple points 05:19:26.740 --> 05:19:34.980 Everyone else lagging behind and since then the entire roster has woken up your lowest rated players being your support players at 05:19:34.980 --> 05:19:42.920 91 is really good. Let's flip over and look at their NA opponents wild card the number two seed coming out of NA 05:19:42.980 --> 05:19:47.960 It's a very different story. Their highs are higher, but their lows are lower 05:19:47.960 --> 05:19:55.740 And again, they're two top performers Bay and baby shark double if not quadruple on their entry stat 05:19:55.740 --> 05:20:02.220 Bay 12 and 3 is such a polarizing staffer entry. This guy has been going crazy so far this event 05:20:02.220 --> 05:20:06.140 It would really be awesome for them to make it to that top eight position same thing for baby shark 05:20:06.140 --> 05:20:10.060 We got to cover wild card earlier this event. He dropped double digits against Los 05:20:10.060 --> 05:20:14.380 I believe it was but we'll take a look at the map bands try to waste as little time as 05:20:14.860 --> 05:20:18.700 Possible heading into this final best of three series for phase two 05:20:18.700 --> 05:20:21.460 It's shall lay cafe and clubhouse 05:20:21.460 --> 05:20:25.100 Which these teams still have a past playing against each other 05:20:25.100 --> 05:20:29.660 But those three coveted maps that we've seen five years play almost religiously 05:20:29.660 --> 05:20:37.060 you know fortress still being four and oh on layer being one of their best maps and night haven labs they've all been banned by wild card 05:20:37.060 --> 05:20:38.740 Which it makes perfect sense 05:20:38.740 --> 05:20:45.220 I feel like this has been a really solid map ban phase for both five years and wild card specifically again with those three target picks 05:20:45.300 --> 05:20:46.940 The first two maps though 05:20:46.940 --> 05:20:54.700 I think do lean a little bit more five years away since kickoff started five years have played it twice right you remember 05:20:54.700 --> 05:21:00.060 This is kind of the map where everyone started to take five fears seriously almost seven owing 05:21:00.300 --> 05:21:05.780 Shopify rebellion during the kickoff and then we just saw them defeat all gamers here 05:21:06.060 --> 05:21:11.420 Seven to four on the other side wild card a little bit more of a mixed bag 05:21:11.420 --> 05:21:14.340 They recently lost this to phase 05:21:15.540 --> 05:21:19.100 17 after beating Falcons 7-1 05:21:19.100 --> 05:21:26.340 Another point that we had noticed before coming into this broadcast, Harrison, was the amount 05:21:26.340 --> 05:21:32.300 of times five fears specifically choose to go on attack in these maps. 05:21:32.300 --> 05:21:35.100 That's statistically been their best side. 05:21:35.100 --> 05:21:40.020 They've had a really big struggle on defense, keeping those consistent entries. 05:21:40.020 --> 05:21:42.820 Plant Denial as well, something we'd like to highlight probably later on during this 05:21:42.820 --> 05:21:43.820 broadcast. 05:21:43.820 --> 05:21:47.420 But for attack, they've been doing a lot better, securing those first opening picks, getting 05:21:47.420 --> 05:21:48.620 the plant down. 05:21:48.620 --> 05:21:54.580 Overall for their plant statistics, they are 10 for 15 on successful plant conversions 05:21:54.580 --> 05:21:59.020 So no matter what they've gotten the plant down and have won it two out of three times 05:21:59.900 --> 05:22:07.460 66% that is pretty impressive given the amount of plants. They've gotten down at this event alone on the flipside though 05:22:08.100 --> 05:22:15.140 They have allowed nine. I believe I think it's nine. They have not won a 05:22:15.140 --> 05:22:21.780 a single retake. So you kind of think yourself, okay, five fears, they play very much for the 05:22:21.780 --> 05:22:27.380 objective on the attack. They play very much for the denial on the defense, but should that diffuser 05:22:27.380 --> 05:22:34.100 go down, it's almost a guaranteed loss for this team, which Wildcard may look to take advantage of, 05:22:34.100 --> 05:22:41.140 but they also only have four plants throughout this entire event so far. So we'll see how that 05:22:41.140 --> 05:22:46.420 works out whether Five Fears denial is going to be stronger but they will start out on the attack 05:22:46.420 --> 05:22:51.700 as we mentioned. Five Fears have been pretty consistently choosing the attacking side which is 05:22:52.660 --> 05:22:59.700 counter to what we normally expect in this game as a whole. Defense being usually the much stronger 05:22:59.700 --> 05:23:06.180 side. Speaking of attack, Snake the opening pick onto the best entry player of Wildcard. They cut 05:23:06.180 --> 05:23:10.300 cut down below my fairly early as well so just like we say when the zombie gets 05:23:10.300 --> 05:23:13.940 picked off well my he's got that regenerating gadget this early I think 05:23:13.940 --> 05:23:17.820 he's only probably got two discs down and that was the power position held over 05:23:17.820 --> 05:23:23.540 by mezzanine we did see the twitch grown trying to disable that mirror but hey you 05:23:23.540 --> 05:23:26.580 know if you can't get rid of the mirror window get rid of the player behind it 05:23:26.580 --> 05:23:30.500 and we'll still get the job done just fine one less person to have that utility 05:23:30.500 --> 05:23:34.740 for a late round bolstering up towards site minute burned away and again you've 05:23:34.740 --> 05:23:40.420 already got that first entry, you still have Snake alive on Deimos, you still have Forest now positioned on Highway, 05:23:40.420 --> 05:23:46.440 a prime cutoff position when attacking off as the bombsite in play for Wildcard's first round of Chalet. 05:23:46.440 --> 05:23:51.660 He's in a great spot with that Snake Scanner to really help give info for the Executes. 05:23:51.660 --> 05:23:58.700 Speaking of the Devil, he's the next one to find a kill for 5 Fears now and a 2-man lead as they rotate over towards Solar, 05:23:58.700 --> 05:24:02.440 because I believe they want to try to get this plant out of the back of these smokes held by JJ. 05:24:02.440 --> 05:24:05.800 Hot and cold on the board now too, but Spiker gets refragged. 05:24:05.800 --> 05:24:10.100 Now it's a 4-2 advantage for Five Fears as they start to take into the site. 05:24:10.100 --> 05:24:12.200 JJ planting now. We'll see if Hot and Cold can deny. 05:24:12.200 --> 05:24:16.740 There's the C4 JJ able to reposition though and then get back into his plant spot 05:24:16.740 --> 05:24:20.860 as Baby Shark now dies and there's the coverage behind the bomb chassis from Fens 05:24:20.860 --> 05:24:23.900 and Five Fears with a fantastic opening round. 05:24:23.900 --> 05:24:27.700 And that's why they choose to go attack almost every single time, Harrison. 05:24:27.700 --> 05:24:32.100 They are so clinical off of that information. 05:24:32.100 --> 05:24:35.660 Again, Snake, able to be a very consistent solo player. 05:24:35.660 --> 05:24:39.400 He puts himself on an info roll like Solid Snake or Deimos. 05:24:39.400 --> 05:24:41.940 Those are two of his favorite operators so far. 05:24:41.940 --> 05:24:45.020 In the Swiss stage, he has a lot of chances 05:24:45.020 --> 05:24:47.260 to gather his own information and work a play 05:24:47.260 --> 05:24:50.300 off of someone else's initial attack somewhere 05:24:50.300 --> 05:24:52.980 like that library extension from Mezzanine. 05:24:52.980 --> 05:24:56.300 He creates a massive diversion, gets the first entry. 05:24:56.300 --> 05:24:59.260 And now that you lose that Mira over from Mezz, 05:24:59.260 --> 05:25:01.900 the rest of your library player can begin to unfold. 05:25:01.900 --> 05:25:03.900 You can start getting other positions like blue stairs. 05:25:03.900 --> 05:25:07.660 You can start applying pressure towards the office double wall, looking for more frags. 05:25:07.660 --> 05:25:13.600 That gives force the opportunity to go highway and also get a one for one kill favoring Five Fears. 05:25:13.600 --> 05:25:17.600 With two trades being unsuccessful for the defense, they're at a massive disadvantage. 05:25:17.600 --> 05:25:21.100 And I believe Five Fears spotted the gap towards Solar for a plant opportunity. 05:25:21.100 --> 05:25:23.300 Hence why they went on that rotation. 05:25:23.300 --> 05:25:27.500 They weren't successful on the plant, but they did get the round nonetheless, so I'm sure they don't care that much. 05:25:27.500 --> 05:25:31.500 Yeah, honestly, I expect Five Fears to continue to run up the score here. 05:25:31.500 --> 05:25:37.740 Of course, this is their map. So if you're a wild card fan and that happens not necessarily a cause for alarm 05:25:37.740 --> 05:25:42.720 Just yet, but five fears through their couple plays of this map since kickoff started. They have an 05:25:44.100 --> 05:25:51.100 83% attacking win rate on this map. That is just absurd as a map that is typically 50-50 05:25:51.100 --> 05:25:57.580 Which is reflected in wild cards defense that they're perfectly 50-50. So again, I expect JJ and Co. 05:25:57.580 --> 05:26:03.020 five fears to continue to be successful here on this starting side as the 05:26:03.020 --> 05:26:07.420 snowmobile garage is starting to get breached so that way JJ can move in with 05:26:07.420 --> 05:26:11.580 the Blitz and five fears can ensure that no one from Wildcard would be able to roam in the base. 05:26:11.580 --> 05:26:16.060 Rival gatherings and info as well, the impact being made up above JJ's head. 05:26:16.060 --> 05:26:20.940 There's Vert now established from that mez balcony denying him of trying to walk at the staircase but 05:26:20.940 --> 05:26:25.580 he's got a smoke grenade. They can maybe try to walk past it and at least get this stock wall 05:26:25.580 --> 05:26:30.620 opened up. Good space made there to now clear one of the two biggest power positions that's used 05:26:30.620 --> 05:26:34.700 to stop a plant from that game's window. Now five years getting that wall opened up, 05:26:34.700 --> 05:26:39.420 they'll begin to rotate and try to commit not only the clear out library to deny the vert pressure 05:26:39.420 --> 05:26:43.980 for a plant, but also pushing their weight into site again to play for the objective they're so 05:26:43.980 --> 05:26:47.340 consistent at establishing. I thought that was going to be a clear, but I guess they must have 05:26:47.340 --> 05:26:51.260 already have had info that there was no one playing down there and have a library clear. 05:26:51.260 --> 05:26:56.260 can begin droning out spotting Spiker plant spotting that he has support by 05:26:56.260 --> 05:27:00.780 Bay on mezzanine waiting for the Zerunigate to get cleared now that 05:27:00.780 --> 05:27:04.380 no one can play in bar stock John not only does that deny an important power 05:27:04.380 --> 05:27:07.540 position for the defense to deny the plant but also makes it so that it's a 05:27:07.540 --> 05:27:11.620 lot harder to play the vert on the sand which jumped in we might also see a lurk 05:27:11.620 --> 05:27:16.020 here from Fens but he doesn't know about cans in on blue stairs the snake gets 05:27:16.020 --> 05:27:20.900 cut down trying to go for an early play and five fears curiously enough this has 05:27:20.900 --> 05:27:22.900 It's been pretty rare. Don't have a response. 05:27:22.900 --> 05:27:24.900 To slow start for them as well. 05:27:24.900 --> 05:27:30.900 Still unable to clear out library entirely as Baby Shark now hiding in the mini box. 05:27:30.900 --> 05:27:34.900 JJ, at least getting rid of the position Doc usually likes to play when he's in this round. 05:27:34.900 --> 05:27:37.900 He'll finally drop in to go for the execute spotting the Erune. 05:27:37.900 --> 05:27:40.900 He needs to win this fight. No one's here to help Spiker. 05:27:40.900 --> 05:27:44.900 The IGL's gone and they're side control now for five fears. 05:27:44.900 --> 05:27:47.900 This is such a great call. And Snake has the cutoff by the main door. 05:27:47.900 --> 05:27:51.640 And the main doors, who he kills, they try to fall back from mezzanine, baby shark falls 05:27:51.640 --> 05:27:52.640 as well. 05:27:52.640 --> 05:27:55.080 The plant goes down from rival. 05:27:55.080 --> 05:28:01.240 This call from Five Fears, I mean what a read, Wildcard had basically the perfect library 05:28:01.240 --> 05:28:06.080 hold going on with the Aruni, the support from mezzanine, the reposition of the Warden, 05:28:06.080 --> 05:28:10.400 and under the cover of those smokes, I'm sure Wildcard thought to themselves, okay, here 05:28:10.400 --> 05:28:15.160 are the smokes, they're trying to isolate our angles, here's the library clear. 05:28:15.160 --> 05:28:20.220 But instead, JJ just drops through the hatch, kills the guy Barstock, and then everyone 05:28:20.220 --> 05:28:24.920 else from Five Fears is set up on cutoffs so that when the defense panics and tries 05:28:24.920 --> 05:28:28.200 to rotate back to site, they just kill him on the way there. 05:28:28.200 --> 05:28:33.660 Because again, even if you don't necessarily win any gunfights upstairs, those smoke bolts 05:28:33.660 --> 05:28:39.260 you highlighted, JJ still entering into library, that still clears that position where you 05:28:39.260 --> 05:28:41.400 need to hold for it to stop a plant. 05:28:41.400 --> 05:28:46.600 So now, JJ having all of library control for five years, he can drop the hatch, the rest 05:28:46.600 --> 05:28:50.000 of his teammates are hopping in through the bar window, they can play for his trade, they 05:28:50.000 --> 05:28:55.520 just look for isolated defenders, they spot Spiker over in stock, no one else is playing 05:28:55.520 --> 05:29:01.760 by sight to a system, that's now a tied man count, and you have literally every which 05:29:01.760 --> 05:29:05.920 position to go for a plant because you've already cleared out library, great step by 05:29:05.920 --> 05:29:08.760 step process there from five years. 05:29:08.760 --> 05:29:12.720 We'll see Wildcard now attempting to go in through the dining room and kitchen defensive 05:29:12.720 --> 05:29:16.840 bomb site, emphasizing at least a few more trap ops. 05:29:16.840 --> 05:29:21.560 They've got Baby Shark now on the thorn hoping to alleviate some of the issues that Oblitz 05:29:21.560 --> 05:29:24.400 could continue to cause if he would be in play. 05:29:24.400 --> 05:29:28.280 It's probably why I call it a Wildcard option to ban the Blackbird and Montane off the 05:29:28.280 --> 05:29:32.360 red, because Five Fears really love to emphasize the shield ops. 05:29:32.360 --> 05:29:35.000 And that's another successful plant conversion by the way. 05:29:35.000 --> 05:29:41.400 they're now at 11 and 11 for 16 in successful plant conversions. Technically, 11 for 15 if 05:29:41.400 --> 05:29:46.320 we're not counting the plant that Snake got in a 1 versus 3, which was kind of unwinnable 05:29:46.320 --> 05:29:51.200 to begin with. But either way, five fears, that's two gap hits in a row, playing for 05:29:51.200 --> 05:29:55.520 the objective twice in a row, and that is their MO. Wildcard need to find a way to 05:29:55.520 --> 05:30:02.320 try and stop the five fears advance, either bank on just a ton of utility on the site 05:30:02.320 --> 05:30:07.160 to stop that execute, or you have to disrupt this team before they can set up. 05:30:07.160 --> 05:30:12.120 Speaking of the setup, Harrison, we saw that Ratero drone breaking the West main barbed 05:30:12.120 --> 05:30:13.120 wire. 05:30:13.120 --> 05:30:18.120 There's less information now if there is alert to be had from five fears. 05:30:18.120 --> 05:30:24.240 Not a lot of utility overall that the Ratero drone is necessarily needed to get rid of. 05:30:24.240 --> 05:30:27.100 So the barbed wire, that's priority number one. 05:30:27.100 --> 05:30:30.880 No bulletproof cameras as well in this round could maybe look for that shield Bayes brought 05:30:30.880 --> 05:30:35.280 on the smoke, but again the emphasis on the entry for five years. 05:30:35.280 --> 05:30:40.880 That's now a third or a second entry for them in this first half out of the three rounds. 05:30:40.880 --> 05:30:43.680 They did at least trade after losing the entry fight back in runner two. 05:30:43.680 --> 05:30:47.780 And plenty of info once again provided by this snake playing from highway. 05:30:47.780 --> 05:30:51.080 They're looking to dog pile onto Bay as he's now alone in piano. 05:30:52.280 --> 05:30:54.180 Rival also has been recovered. 05:30:54.180 --> 05:30:55.880 The Nade forcing Bay out of position. 05:30:55.880 --> 05:30:57.780 He tries to just go for a desperate run up. 05:30:57.780 --> 05:30:59.980 A forest is more than ready for it. 05:30:59.980 --> 05:31:03.220 JJ trying to make his way into site, gets softened up but still survives 05:31:03.220 --> 05:31:05.720 and is waiting for the Bandit to try and peek him from office 05:31:05.720 --> 05:31:08.940 as he makes his way to the corner, plant spot, fends from bathroom window, 05:31:08.940 --> 05:31:11.340 has a perfect cut onto said Bandit, 05:31:11.340 --> 05:31:14.140 collecting more information, seeing that there's still a player in solace. 05:31:14.140 --> 05:31:17.900 Baby Shark, that player he spotted, does kill Forrest. 05:31:17.900 --> 05:31:20.300 Spiker though, trying to retreat to the site dies. 05:31:20.300 --> 05:31:24.300 Baby Shark pushing back up Trophy, drops JJ and drops the case. 05:31:24.300 --> 05:31:28.180 It's now still under his control, but the trade attempt from Rival is successful 05:31:28.180 --> 05:31:31.820 And that's three in a row for five fears. 05:31:31.820 --> 05:31:36.740 And five fears continuing to pick apart these extensions 05:31:36.740 --> 05:31:40.180 from Wildcard, you saw three different members of Five 05:31:40.180 --> 05:31:43.940 Fears dedicating their utility, dedicating their time 05:31:43.940 --> 05:31:46.380 to just hunt down the smoke upstairs. 05:31:46.380 --> 05:31:47.820 They had a position from highway. 05:31:47.820 --> 05:31:50.060 They managed to have the office double wall opened up. 05:31:50.060 --> 05:31:53.700 They had someone swinging the piano double as well. 05:31:53.700 --> 05:31:55.980 The smoke had no more options left except just 05:31:55.980 --> 05:31:57.540 to hop out of the highway window 05:31:57.540 --> 05:31:59.540 and hope they can at least go one for one 05:31:59.540 --> 05:32:01.220 before being traded most likely. 05:32:01.220 --> 05:32:05.300 Kansan, who at one point was close by to Pianod to assist, 05:32:05.300 --> 05:32:07.300 was forced to fall back off of, again, 05:32:07.300 --> 05:32:10.540 the information provided by the Grim, I believe it was, 05:32:10.540 --> 05:32:12.220 in that round, Harrison, just, again, 05:32:12.220 --> 05:32:15.280 impeccable coordination and team play. 05:32:15.280 --> 05:32:17.140 I feel like every single time we've covered 05:32:17.140 --> 05:32:20.140 five fears this event, they just continue to improve 05:32:20.140 --> 05:32:22.860 on the foundation of their attacks. 05:32:22.860 --> 05:32:23.820 And it's clearly showing. 05:32:23.820 --> 05:32:25.340 They're currently flawless on Chalet, 05:32:25.340 --> 05:32:31.360 Wildcard have already forced their tap timeout hoping to at least tie their their better half on chalet, but 05:32:32.000 --> 05:32:36.580 Again, it's just been it's been so impressive for five years and a snake man 05:32:36.580 --> 05:32:43.460 I'm I'm not too shocked because of how again the info has been netting five years so much early success in this half 05:32:43.460 --> 05:32:47.660 Yes, snake being played in both both rounds one and three 05:32:47.660 --> 05:32:53.520 I'm sorry, all three rounds. I forgot, Fendt's also died on the entry round too. 05:32:53.520 --> 05:32:56.460 Rounds one and three, he found a lot, a lot of value. 05:32:56.460 --> 05:32:59.600 Tons of information being gathered. Five Fears, of course. 05:32:59.600 --> 05:33:02.260 Again, they have played against Wildcard before. 05:33:02.260 --> 05:33:06.560 They played in the NAL kickoff finals in five years one to nothing. 05:33:06.560 --> 05:33:10.160 So, the maps, one of those maps was not Chalet. 05:33:10.160 --> 05:33:16.060 So, this is a new one. I'm actually pretty surprised that, yeah, Wildcard banned Labs and Fortress, 05:33:16.060 --> 05:33:22.300 but uh, sorry, banning Laren Fortress, but Labs is not a super good map for Five Fears. 05:33:23.020 --> 05:33:27.980 Kind of shock Wildcard, allow Shallay through because Five Fears have been so consistent 05:33:27.980 --> 05:33:33.660 on this map so far, uh, through their lifespan. Again, 83% attack on the right is, is nuts. 05:33:35.500 --> 05:33:40.140 Could also be the lesser of two evils, Harrison, you know, Fortress. A map that Five Fears are 05:33:40.140 --> 05:33:47.100 They're still flawless on this year, I guess, that the stage for both the NAL pick off. 05:33:47.100 --> 05:33:49.740 And I believe, have they played and lost here? 05:33:49.740 --> 05:33:51.940 No, they are still 4-0 overall, that's right. 05:33:51.940 --> 05:33:58.180 So not losing at all on Forgears is still incredibly impressive, but 83% Chela attack 05:33:58.180 --> 05:34:02.140 is pretty darn close to 100% as well. 05:34:02.140 --> 05:34:04.560 Here comes the bottom floor clear by 5 years. 05:34:04.560 --> 05:34:09.300 The opportunity to rush up solar might be possible for them as JJ already working his 05:34:09.300 --> 05:34:13.700 way through the staircase. I believe all they're doing is set up now is maybe someone to come 05:34:13.700 --> 05:34:18.260 in through that master repels this and have a keen cutoff. Nitrocel Dodd here from JJ, 05:34:18.260 --> 05:34:24.980 but off-screen rival on another lurk is dealt with by Wildcard, so they do lose that first entry. 05:34:24.980 --> 05:34:29.140 But again, they're now setting up to try to get this cutoff established here by Forrest, 05:34:29.140 --> 05:34:32.180 and maybe making enough space here for another post plant. 05:34:32.180 --> 05:34:41.460 Five fears having Fens rotate over towards highway, I believe. Snake down below on the Namos, 05:34:41.460 --> 05:34:47.780 maybe start to track people from below. Search for a pick. There is nothing to stop these tracks, 05:34:47.780 --> 05:34:52.460 nothing like a mute or anything, so no matter who Snake chooses, we'll successfully go onto them. 05:34:52.460 --> 05:34:58.820 Fens and JJ looking to push through trophy as Snake also now joins the Naval Force Fiker out of 05:34:58.820 --> 05:35:04.120 of Owl and that gives enough space for JJ to walk up the stairs and start to take control 05:35:04.120 --> 05:35:06.280 of Solar though he backs off a little bit. 05:35:06.280 --> 05:35:10.800 He and Fens not terribly confident yet and I think it's because of this position from 05:35:10.800 --> 05:35:15.040 Kansan as he continues to be tracked, he got spotted by the Lion's scan, I think it was 05:35:15.040 --> 05:35:18.200 from Forest and through the floor Snake will take him out of the closet. 05:35:18.200 --> 05:35:20.920 Fens also from Solar window killing Baby Shark. 05:35:20.920 --> 05:35:25.720 JJ though losing against one against Bay so you lose your player actually in Solar. 05:35:25.720 --> 05:35:31.560 Here comes the drop from Vay, looking to pressure out Snake on the Deimos, but then gets tracked. 05:35:31.560 --> 05:35:36.800 Flash the Nade, he's stuck here, there is absolutely nothing that Vay can do to stop 05:35:36.800 --> 05:35:38.920 Five Fears from killing him. 05:35:38.920 --> 05:35:43.540 What a use of utility there from Five Fears, shutting down the chance of a rotate, holding 05:35:43.540 --> 05:35:48.220 the cutoff and the flash, making that grenade impossible to dodge. 05:35:48.220 --> 05:35:52.360 Man advantage, now secured for Five Fears, once again with 50 seconds left to go, no 05:35:52.360 --> 05:35:55.940 No nitro cells and plenty of info for 5 years to work off of. 05:35:56.580 --> 05:36:01.760 They knew exactly where this mute was, but Forrest, in his desperation to get out of range of that Razor Gloom, 05:36:01.760 --> 05:36:04.420 runs right into the waiting arms of Spiker, the repel. 05:36:04.420 --> 05:36:07.840 Spiker misses a couple key shots, he needs Hot and Cold to come in to support. 05:36:07.840 --> 05:36:09.840 As he repies, he goes down to Fens. 05:36:09.840 --> 05:36:12.000 Now they know exactly where Hot and Cold is. 05:36:12.000 --> 05:36:14.700 Snake tracking him, calling his position out in bathroom. 05:36:14.700 --> 05:36:18.880 Fens is going to take that opportunity to push deep and flank as the Deimos goes down. 05:36:18.880 --> 05:36:20.640 Where's Fens? There's he is! 05:36:20.640 --> 05:36:24.180 Shotgun out going hot and cold with another clutch. 05:36:24.180 --> 05:36:28.400 He's been so good for Wildcard and he gets them on the board. 05:36:28.400 --> 05:36:30.180 And by the skin of his teeth, 05:36:30.180 --> 05:36:35.240 Hot and Cold will secure the first round in this series for Wildcard. 05:36:36.580 --> 05:36:40.420 A nail-biting moment as Five Fears tried to go for the smart play, 05:36:40.420 --> 05:36:43.920 sending fends on the rotate to sandwich Hot and Cold, 05:36:43.920 --> 05:36:48.940 keep him trapped in bathroom to find a potential fourth round 05:36:48.940 --> 05:36:55.420 in a row in this first half but Snake being on such low HP from the first two gunfights he's had 05:36:55.420 --> 05:37:00.860 is one shot from that P-10 Rony. He dies and hearing the audio call behind him, 05:37:00.860 --> 05:37:06.860 the Mazze has just enough time to react. Pull up the Super Shorty and put Five Fears down six feet 05:37:06.860 --> 05:37:12.780 under. What a recovery there by Hot and Cold especially after Spiker lost his life there. 05:37:13.340 --> 05:37:18.460 I feel like through the entirety of that round Five Fears did such a good job working off of 05:37:18.460 --> 05:37:19.760 of each other's contact, right? 05:37:19.760 --> 05:37:21.640 The deathmark trackers for information, 05:37:21.640 --> 05:37:24.360 the vert to get Snake that four versus four position, 05:37:24.360 --> 05:37:25.800 but now he's low on HP. 05:37:25.800 --> 05:37:27.440 So he's forced to play passive. 05:37:27.440 --> 05:37:29.400 That's where Fens comes into play, 05:37:29.400 --> 05:37:31.980 utilizing that flash grenade to blind Denari 05:37:31.980 --> 05:37:34.680 so the Nade can kill him and keep Snake alive 05:37:34.680 --> 05:37:37.240 to continually use those deathmark trackers 05:37:37.240 --> 05:37:39.600 for more and more info, which again, 05:37:39.600 --> 05:37:42.320 Five Fears had so much info that round, 05:37:42.320 --> 05:37:44.160 they were able to work a ton of picks 05:37:44.160 --> 05:37:46.400 in the last 50 to 60 seconds, 05:37:46.400 --> 05:37:50.700 But it still wasn't enough against Hot and Cold as he's now tied up his kill count as well. 05:37:54.600 --> 05:37:56.500 So close for Fens there. 05:37:56.900 --> 05:37:59.500 Again, seeing that he had the Ronium surprise key backed off, 05:37:59.500 --> 05:38:05.400 JJ smoking out the objective already, trying to bait some utility out from the defense, the gas canisters. 05:38:05.400 --> 05:38:08.800 Keep the shield at bay as Snake takes it through Kotecek as the glass. 05:38:10.400 --> 05:38:11.800 Wildcard expend. 05:38:12.100 --> 05:38:15.500 One gas canister though, and really nothing else. 05:38:15.500 --> 05:38:18.700 for five fears using three smokes. 05:38:23.820 --> 05:38:34.300 It isn't going to slow start for five fears, but again, their their biggest priority is just getting library cleared out enough so they can start pushing their way into Silas this time. 05:38:34.860 --> 05:38:43.060 They're going for something different. JJ beginning to work his way in from office. Here comes the lurk from forest. No information for wild card. 05:38:43.060 --> 05:38:53.140 That's another entry in their favorite rival to follow suit, and all of a sudden, it's a two-man advantage once again, with everyone disjointed by Wildcard. They're on three separate floors. 05:38:53.140 --> 05:38:58.820 Wildcard trying to extend their presence all across the map, but they get incredibly punished for it. 05:38:58.820 --> 05:39:05.620 There's Forest on the left main stairs, and Rival was playing the cutoff on Bathroom Window, killing Baby Shark all the way. 05:39:05.620 --> 05:39:11.620 I believe he was trying to play inside Master or Closet, one of those two positions that leaves Bay 05:39:11.620 --> 05:39:17.920 all alone on the top floor playing Mezzanine. He has some support from Kansan on Blue Stairs. 05:39:17.920 --> 05:39:23.820 Is that going to be enough against this shield now rushing in from JJ already in the bomb site? 05:39:23.820 --> 05:39:30.420 Has the pings on the guy main stairs too? Thought about maybe working to isolate him, but hot and cold instead. 05:39:30.420 --> 05:39:40.420 Stuck outside the objective, here he comes, trying to gas out the Rotate, JJ gets off the plant, distracted by the player dropping the hatch, he kills him, but is swiftly refragged by Hot and Cold. 05:39:40.420 --> 05:39:47.420 Canned's gonna kill for himself as well before he goes down, it's not only a one-man lead for five fears, Wildcard, got some good trades back. 05:39:47.420 --> 05:39:50.420 Hot and Cold, very low HP though, so is Snake. 05:39:50.420 --> 05:39:57.920 On the glass, rival spots a player to rotate for a moment, their snake and rival, each with their own DMRs, 05:39:57.920 --> 05:40:01.920 getting a kill each and solidifying a 4-1 lead for 5 Fears. 05:40:01.920 --> 05:40:09.420 And what it looked like their Harrison was just a bait, you know, the last time we saw 5 Fears attacking barring games, 05:40:09.420 --> 05:40:18.420 it was a fairly quick execute, they took time to set up, deal with Library, utilize those smokes to make enough space to then pressure site and go for a plant. 05:40:18.420 --> 05:40:24.600 Wildcard expecting that once again off the Thatcher EMP sound cue off the smoke grenades. They saw visually they're thinking 05:40:24.600 --> 05:40:29.940 Okay, everyone's gonna commit themselves for rushing into site. They start spreading out preparing for a retake 05:40:29.940 --> 05:40:35.700 That's where five fears adjust by doing an office over clear with force lurking through bottom main 05:40:35.700 --> 05:40:42.260 And it catches them completely by surprise because they were focused on the entire other half of the map 05:40:42.260 --> 05:40:45.060 That's now two picks uncontested once again 05:40:45.060 --> 05:40:51.820 The lack of trades from wild card is a really big red flag going into this first map Harrison that we've continued to see for them 05:40:51.820 --> 05:40:53.820 throughout this stage and 05:40:53.860 --> 05:40:57.980 Although we had that heroic moment for hot and cold just around to go 05:40:58.100 --> 05:41:03.820 It's still a three-round advantage for five fears and you know if wild card don't even get this two to four split 05:41:03.820 --> 05:41:05.820 They could be in a lot of trouble on their attacks, too 05:41:05.820 --> 05:41:13.820 Dining room in the kitchen, where Wildcard will mount their last stand on this half, try to at least salvage two rounds, 05:41:13.820 --> 05:41:19.820 and get a 4-2 split, which is certainly not a death sentence. 05:41:19.820 --> 05:41:25.820 Very easy to come back from that lead if it just happens to be, or from that deficit, if it just happens to be an attacker side, it shall lay. 05:41:25.820 --> 05:41:31.820 Five fears, once again bringing the doka be in the deimos, they've got information, bringing JJ on that blitz shield as Wildcard. 05:41:31.820 --> 05:41:42.820 Once again, have an extension both upstairs and horizontally with Baby Shark, playing inside bar and games, but he is a bit isolated. 05:41:42.820 --> 05:41:52.820 He has no help, and if Five Fears can establish the cutoff main door and one on Ivy window, maybe even lurk someone down below, they should be able to pinch him out pretty easily. 05:41:52.820 --> 05:42:00.300 Forrest might want to set up for that cutoff, perhaps. 05:42:00.300 --> 05:42:05.580 Don't give me for the Lodgy Bomb, still tons of info at the use of Five Fears. 05:42:05.580 --> 05:42:11.020 The Lodgy Bomb goes off, maybe allowing Five Fears just to create more space in this top 05:42:11.020 --> 05:42:13.580 to bottom position they've had. 05:42:13.580 --> 05:42:16.700 Working over through Mez, they might want to try to get this double wall opened up. 05:42:16.700 --> 05:42:20.700 There's Kanzin for the opener, though, on to Forrest, so that highway position now gone 05:42:20.700 --> 05:42:24.940 that allows for more fluidity for Wildcard upstairs, 05:42:24.940 --> 05:42:26.780 contesting against this blitz, 05:42:26.780 --> 05:42:28.060 dealing with Snake up above, 05:42:28.060 --> 05:42:31.340 and allows for the runout perfectly timed from Kansan. 05:42:31.340 --> 05:42:33.340 But Rival responds with two of his own. 05:42:33.340 --> 05:42:35.500 Here comes the falloff from Wildcard. 05:42:35.500 --> 05:42:37.340 They've worked two picks in their advantage, 05:42:37.340 --> 05:42:38.740 and they've burned about a minute 30. 05:42:38.740 --> 05:42:40.860 Now they can fall back closer to site, 05:42:40.860 --> 05:42:43.620 and wait for five beers to either over-commit 05:42:43.620 --> 05:42:45.460 towards going down trophy stairs, 05:42:45.460 --> 05:42:47.180 maybe holding some of those longer angles, 05:42:47.180 --> 05:42:50.500 and forcing a plant to have a 3v2 advantage in theory, 05:42:50.500 --> 05:42:53.740 or wait for them to waste more time to go back through lobby 05:42:53.740 --> 05:42:56.340 to get an angle opened up from dining in towards B site. 05:42:56.340 --> 05:42:58.340 It's a pretty good position for both teams, 05:42:58.340 --> 05:43:00.820 although Five Fears with only three players remaining 05:43:00.820 --> 05:43:05.140 will have to really worry about a flank upstairs from Wildcard. 05:43:05.140 --> 05:43:08.460 And you can see Kansan on the library stairs right now, 05:43:08.460 --> 05:43:09.460 maybe going for it. 05:43:09.460 --> 05:43:11.620 Rival, I think they have info. 05:43:11.620 --> 05:43:13.380 He's just going to wait for this Valkyrie. 05:43:13.380 --> 05:43:15.860 Here's the silhouette working up towards Piano. 05:43:15.860 --> 05:43:19.140 And he has absolutely no idea that Rival is holding his rotate. 05:43:19.140 --> 05:43:24.920 Now a man advantage for five fears and probably no retake attempt again from wildcarnes 05:43:24.920 --> 05:43:30.060 They've already lost a body you have to assume that the attack had information with how easily they dealt with the Valkyrie 05:43:30.180 --> 05:43:35.260 Smoke grenades coming out from JJ does he know about Bay in the corner right next to him 05:43:35.260 --> 05:43:40.500 He's backed off behind the bomb chassis. They can't spot him and from the hatch snakes cover is perfect 05:43:40.500 --> 05:43:44.860 They even had information on the other player down in the basement of spiker now 05:43:44.860 --> 05:43:49.100 to retake from West Main but he's staring down this blitz shield and he's got tons of support. 05:43:50.140 --> 05:43:54.300 A massive 2k upstairs for a rival to equalize the man count. 05:43:54.300 --> 05:43:58.860 Kansan had a great performance dealing with the highway player of Forrest and hopping out 05:43:58.860 --> 05:44:03.580 and being able to at least get those first two picks but a 5-1 split now favoring five 05:44:03.580 --> 05:44:06.220 feet. We'll hear the coaches have to say after that one. 05:44:10.380 --> 05:44:13.100 All right guys listen we're at 5-1 we got a fat lead. 05:44:13.100 --> 05:44:16.700 Keep taking the shit around at a time right now. Okay, if they're literally confused, 05:44:16.700 --> 05:44:20.220 they're going to go to their defaults and then we talked about an attack on this map. Okay. 05:44:20.220 --> 05:44:25.020 Do not stress. Take this round at a time. Press the fucking entries, make it hard for them to get 05:44:25.020 --> 05:44:30.860 in the map and walk. Okay. Do not let them walk and plant nuts for free. Okay. We do that. I promise 05:44:30.860 --> 05:44:35.100 we're fine on this defense. You guys are playing amazing right now. We're locked in the fucking 05:44:35.100 --> 05:44:39.980 opposers there. Just keep it there. Do not get ahead of ourselves round at a time. Zero zero every 05:44:39.980 --> 05:44:42.700 every fucking round until that shit hits seven, okay? 05:44:42.700 --> 05:44:43.980 I'm proud of you guys right now. 05:44:43.980 --> 05:44:44.960 Keep it the fuck up. 05:44:44.960 --> 05:44:47.460 This is how we play fucking proper Siege right here, boys. 05:44:47.460 --> 05:44:48.300 This is beautiful. 05:44:48.300 --> 05:44:49.580 Yep, let me talk real quick, boys. 05:44:49.580 --> 05:44:50.420 I'll probably say one thing, Broxley, 05:44:50.420 --> 05:44:52.020 you can take us home on the strats, okay? 05:44:52.020 --> 05:44:54.340 Guys, this is the best Siege I've seen us play all weekend. 05:44:54.340 --> 05:44:55.180 Okay? 05:44:55.180 --> 05:44:56.140 Best Siege I've seen us play in a while. 05:44:56.140 --> 05:44:58.540 This is fucking five year Siege, okay? 05:44:58.540 --> 05:45:00.260 We keep this up on defense now. 05:45:00.260 --> 05:45:03.580 Play with no fear, press the entry, play the strats, 05:45:03.580 --> 05:45:05.780 make sure you open that stock wall, okay? 05:45:05.780 --> 05:45:07.420 If the month is open, let's see. 05:45:07.420 --> 05:45:08.260 If the month's open, it's in. 05:45:08.260 --> 05:45:12.260 But that's it, and they won't get for you, pay attention. 05:45:12.260 --> 05:45:15.020 On this barbunker, they reinforce off C wrong. 05:45:15.020 --> 05:45:18.800 You can play the buck, they, and you can buck from off C, kill the guy on top fire. 05:45:18.800 --> 05:45:21.460 From the off to the K9, Alc, right there, they don't reinforce, so you can buck and kill 05:45:21.460 --> 05:45:22.460 the guy on top fire. 05:45:22.460 --> 05:45:23.460 Okay. 05:45:23.460 --> 05:45:24.460 Okay, they heard you about it. 05:45:24.460 --> 05:45:25.460 And Spike reflects on this one. 05:45:25.460 --> 05:45:28.460 You can play dash if they have mirror, you can play the dokaebi, if you just need like 05:45:28.460 --> 05:45:29.460 to the fast pistol. 05:45:29.460 --> 05:45:30.460 That's it. 05:45:30.460 --> 05:45:32.860 Kitchen, they do the emery shape, okay, emery setup. 05:45:32.860 --> 05:45:35.300 Let's get the opening kill on the bathroom player. 05:45:35.300 --> 05:45:37.540 The closet player, he always starts the bathroom now, okay? 05:45:37.540 --> 05:45:39.140 We're going to do a setup right here. 05:45:39.140 --> 05:45:41.380 Sparky, you're playing the Blackbird on the bathroom window. 05:45:41.380 --> 05:45:43.660 Shackun starts to feel Shackun can play smoke. 05:45:43.660 --> 05:45:45.220 If the docker's burning, he can play a sense. 05:45:45.220 --> 05:45:47.060 We're going to start grenade this game, Baffoon. 05:45:47.060 --> 05:45:50.260 Jake starts on the solar rappel on the kitchen attack. 05:45:50.260 --> 05:45:53.660 And then after, sorry, Jake starts on the solar rappel, 05:45:53.660 --> 05:45:54.900 and after, go to the library, OK? 05:45:54.900 --> 05:45:55.860 Jake's going to say something. 05:45:55.860 --> 05:45:56.500 Where does he start? 05:45:56.500 --> 05:45:57.020 Yes. 05:45:57.020 --> 05:45:58.340 Yeah, he's at our bathroom. 05:45:58.340 --> 05:45:59.740 You and Shackun are going to be in the bathroom window. 05:45:59.740 --> 05:46:00.240 What? 05:46:00.240 --> 05:46:01.900 You want me to play trophy for level? 05:46:01.900 --> 05:46:03.220 On the kitchen attack, OK. 05:46:03.220 --> 05:46:05.140 Chain split. 05:46:05.140 --> 05:46:07.140 for you to the pin to him. 05:46:09.100 --> 05:46:10.900 I agree with with JJ. 05:46:10.900 --> 05:46:13.380 This is probably the best five years we've seen 05:46:13.380 --> 05:46:15.100 so far this event. 05:46:15.100 --> 05:46:17.860 And I think part of it is probably the fact 05:46:17.860 --> 05:46:20.060 that these two teams know each other really well, right? 05:46:20.060 --> 05:46:22.060 Like this is a domestic matchup. 05:46:22.060 --> 05:46:24.340 Five years have already beaten Wildcard before 05:46:24.340 --> 05:46:27.180 and it really looks like not only are Five Fears 05:46:27.180 --> 05:46:28.700 playing really, really well, 05:46:28.700 --> 05:46:30.300 it looks like they know exactly what Wildcard 05:46:30.300 --> 05:46:32.560 are gonna do almost every step. 05:46:35.140 --> 05:46:41.220 My point that I was trying to finish out earlier as well was you know two to four 05:46:41.220 --> 05:46:46.020 split that's not entirely bad but a five one split you only need essentially two 05:46:46.020 --> 05:46:50.740 default round wins from five fears two opportunities to out best wild card on 05:46:50.740 --> 05:46:55.220 their attacks and map one is already over and done with so there isn't a lot of 05:46:55.220 --> 05:47:00.100 room to breathe I know it is just a one round difference but still a tough spot 05:47:00.100 --> 05:47:03.820 to be in now for wild card as they transition into the attack again five 05:47:03.820 --> 05:47:09.820 fears just had such an impeccable recovery at the end of this first half rival with those 05:47:09.820 --> 05:47:15.220 two big kills. The info that they had was top notch at denying the flank. Even noticing 05:47:15.220 --> 05:47:19.140 there was only one person on site and that their vert coverage could even cut off the 05:47:19.140 --> 05:47:23.980 chance of stopping a plant there. Again, I think that plant was also run down successfully 05:47:23.980 --> 05:47:29.260 so they have a 100% conversion still with two plants in this first half. Yep, yep. Two 05:47:29.260 --> 05:47:34.260 for two. Just pad more of the plant stats I guess at this point, but they'll have to 05:47:34.260 --> 05:47:38.200 maybe get a chance at a retake perhaps. Now that they're on the defensive side, it's 05:47:38.200 --> 05:47:43.680 Office and Master first in play for five years. They've got an interesting mirror composition 05:47:43.680 --> 05:47:49.520 as well to assist with the anchor game. I'm wondering if Snake had one deployed over on 05:47:49.520 --> 05:47:54.160 the library back there. I don't believe so, maybe using these last two over towards Sight 05:47:54.160 --> 05:47:58.520 and Stead. Even keeping the double office wall opened up, so with the help of these 05:47:58.520 --> 05:48:02.720 As roamers from mezzanine, they can apply more pressure, maybe some crossfires, if that's 05:48:02.720 --> 05:48:05.760 where wildcard want to start their attack from. 05:48:05.760 --> 05:48:10.360 They also have a pretty plant focused lineup, not from a shield necessarily, like we saw 05:48:10.360 --> 05:48:15.760 five beers bringing a lot, but instead the RRU projectors ran by the Senz, that's what 05:48:15.760 --> 05:48:20.000 Baby Shark is playing currently, used to cut off along those longer lines of sight, same 05:48:20.000 --> 05:48:22.440 thing for Capitao and their smoke bolts. 05:48:22.440 --> 05:48:26.560 And fire bolts too as well, the clear power spots like Owl, which is something I believe 05:48:26.560 --> 05:48:30.880 Lugilnes was talking about during their halftime mission by the way I just 05:48:30.880 --> 05:48:34.880 realized earlier I had mentioned right five years have that 83% attacking 05:48:34.880 --> 05:48:39.280 win rate if you can't if you can't do that that's me if you don't know what 05:48:39.280 --> 05:48:43.520 that is fractionally or how that translates to seed rounds 83% is 05:48:43.520 --> 05:48:49.080 exactly five for six so five years still with a perfect 83% as they're up five 05:48:49.080 --> 05:48:55.080 one forest taking a fight against those solar windows taking a little bit of 05:48:55.080 --> 05:48:58.580 And I think maybe softening up hot and cold just a little bit as well. 05:48:58.580 --> 05:49:05.580 He opts to fall back, usually challenging those solar windows unless you're up super close is a losing proposition. 05:49:05.580 --> 05:49:09.580 So he knows that you can just play along with Snake in tandem here. 05:49:09.580 --> 05:49:14.080 JJ as well, working up to the position that Forrest had just recently held. 05:49:14.080 --> 05:49:19.580 And Bay, again, we highlighted him as the best entry player so far this tournament for Wildcard. 05:49:19.580 --> 05:49:22.080 He gets another opening pick on the fence. 05:49:22.080 --> 05:49:29.760 But it's no advantage. It's both baby shark and hot and cold both fall soon after and it seems like five beers are still willing to contest 05:49:29.760 --> 05:49:33.400 Solar most of wildcard unable to even enter the building until they 05:49:33.720 --> 05:49:38.720 Finding a second for himself in this round a lack of utility and a lack of HP now for wildcard 05:49:38.720 --> 05:49:42.240 They're still over a minute to work with but they do equalize the man count at least 05:49:42.880 --> 05:49:47.120 Spiker now maybe looking to reposition over the roof to play close to bay 05:49:47.120 --> 05:49:52.440 They still have those smoke bolts at least to mask some of these angles five years to hold 05:49:52.440 --> 05:49:55.960 You know now that they've realized the repositions happened over from library 05:49:55.960 --> 05:50:00.840 They could go over in the master play looking in towards office to stop a potential plant 05:50:00.920 --> 05:50:06.280 But they still have so much HP to work with your Harrison and snake has got a C4 his back pocket 05:50:07.400 --> 05:50:10.520 Snake play snake operator 05:50:10.520 --> 05:50:20.520 using his scanner sees that rival has bathed off from piano. He now sees that snake has kind of worked his way over towards the half wall rival 05:50:20.520 --> 05:50:27.520 maybe looking to retake to of course with those two walls reinforced there's no way for you to get an angle on the planter from piano 05:50:27.520 --> 05:50:37.520 you highlighted though again snake on the mirror he's got that C4 here it comes and it blows spikers sky high and simultaneously rival succeeds in his flank 05:50:37.520 --> 05:50:42.640 flank a 6-1 lead for Five Fears. 05:50:42.640 --> 05:50:44.880 And again, they only needed two good rounds. 05:50:44.880 --> 05:50:46.760 That's one for two by Five Fears. 05:50:46.760 --> 05:50:50.300 Matchpoint secured in round number A. 05:50:50.300 --> 05:50:54.640 A brilliant job at shutting down wildcarts set up. 05:50:54.640 --> 05:50:57.320 You did have Bay securing the entry on defense, 05:50:57.320 --> 05:51:00.240 but a majority of that clear was focused 05:51:00.240 --> 05:51:01.600 for getting into solar. 05:51:01.600 --> 05:51:04.440 The mirror window wasted a lot of time and resources. 05:51:04.440 --> 05:51:07.280 Eventually, after Five Fears had found a trade, 05:51:07.280 --> 05:51:12.280 JJ even re-took a majority of Solar completely shutting out the rest of Wildcard. 05:51:12.280 --> 05:51:15.280 I didn't even notice that until the replay. That's hilarious. 05:51:15.280 --> 05:51:23.280 But with the Solar Exeggcute being unsuccessful by Wildcard at a 2 vs. 2, they're forced to reposition 5 Fears. 05:51:23.280 --> 05:51:26.280 Notice that, and they still have the right tools for the job. 05:51:26.280 --> 05:51:30.280 That Nitro Self from Snake denies the potential of a plant there against the Capitow, 05:51:30.280 --> 05:51:38.140 the capitol and the solid snakes info which did initially start the rally call to get in behind the half wall to plant that diffuser 05:51:38.140 --> 05:51:43.740 But again still unsuccessful and as that seafloor is going off you also have to worry about fence on the flank 05:51:43.740 --> 05:51:49.080 So you probably want to try to cover your planter directly looking from office after that nitrosilis tossed out 05:51:49.080 --> 05:51:52.920 And that's exactly the moment fence chooses to flank and it works like a charm 05:51:52.920 --> 05:51:56.560 Yeah, really smart to flank him because the snake has to cover and he's got to be gone up 05:51:56.560 --> 05:51:58.560 He can't be looking at that scanner 05:51:58.560 --> 05:52:05.320 at the same time so a 6-1 lead for five fears obviously there is a very good 05:52:05.320 --> 05:52:10.680 reason why this is their map pick I think if they end up winning this this 05:52:10.680 --> 05:52:14.760 series and going to main stage this is gonna be a map that maybe the strong 05:52:14.760 --> 05:52:20.840 international teams have to ban against them. Our young NA upstarts have 05:52:20.840 --> 05:52:24.400 looked unstoppable on this map through the three times that they have now 05:52:24.400 --> 05:52:28.960 played it of course there is still one round for them to win we have seen 05:52:28.960 --> 05:52:34.040 crazier comebacks it's not over for wildcard just yet the defense's dining 05:52:34.040 --> 05:52:38.280 kitchen five fears of course have plenty of players upstairs it's a 3-1-1 05:52:38.280 --> 05:52:43.600 split with forest even down in the basement likely with that dining hatch 05:52:43.600 --> 05:52:47.720 open so you can see four behind it behind the table for that default plant 05:52:47.720 --> 05:52:54.360 spot wildcard mounting they're clear upstairs as well you can see spiker 05:52:54.360 --> 05:53:00.140 I believe it opened the windows earlier. That's going to be a song off forest is down in West main 05:53:00.140 --> 05:53:03.920 I think maybe tried to walk up and yeah, I got likely caught by baby shark on the windows 05:53:04.720 --> 05:53:11.260 They didn't confirm these injured however, so they are spending some resources to try and get rid of forest or more concerned 05:53:11.640 --> 05:53:18.020 About the presence right beside the objective in West main only a few feet away from the a objective 05:53:18.020 --> 05:53:21.340 There's also some vert established by snake looking to recover his teammate perhaps 05:53:21.340 --> 05:53:27.200 Or at least just deny the initial entry from West Main as JJ now rotates to get the res here snake 05:53:27.560 --> 05:53:30.480 A well-needed kill and now this res can go off without a hitch 05:53:30.480 --> 05:53:34.320 But this is the moment wild card choose to go for the side rush because there's three players 05:53:34.660 --> 05:53:39.200 Distracted on the player down from West fends those still upstairs kills Bay 05:53:39.200 --> 05:53:46.080 He was the man responsible for trying to lurk upstairs JJ gets one instantly traded back snake almost found on the stairs instead 05:53:46.080 --> 05:53:50.840 It's just damage all three players of five fears are incredibly low HP 05:53:50.840 --> 05:53:58.840 So is the defuse carrier of spikers. He makes his way in through A. Trying to plant behind the bomb chassis as there's coverage from the hatch. 05:53:58.840 --> 05:54:06.840 Snake maybe letting this go down as Hot and Cold gets a kill onto Forest. No floor bang successful for Snake. 05:54:06.840 --> 05:54:12.840 We mentioned earlier that five fears have allowed nine plants and they have zero successful retakes. 05:54:12.840 --> 05:54:19.840 Wildcard looking to keep that negative streak alive with Hot and Cold covering outside the breach, waiting for the drop that comes from Snake. 05:54:19.840 --> 05:54:28.840 A triple kill for Hot and Cold, and Fens on 1 HP finds himself alone with about 15 seconds to get both of these kills and hop on that case. 05:54:28.840 --> 05:54:35.840 SpikeR knows exactly where he is. Fens can kind of see the crossbow up above, but there's the assistance from Hot and Cold. 05:54:35.840 --> 05:54:40.840 Another big round from the super sub, and Wildcard stay alive. 05:54:40.840 --> 05:54:46.000 And again well job done there for what for wild card and hot and cold specifically 05:54:46.520 --> 05:54:52.680 Assisting by getting open the main breach looking into dining and helping his players from that West main execute 05:54:52.680 --> 05:54:58.480 You had for us down does he tried rotating down the staircase and that was kind of the initial rally called just trying to work 05:54:58.480 --> 05:55:00.280 Off of that initial tempo 05:55:00.280 --> 05:55:05.520 For the most part fives by fears of the good job at stopping that snake from the bird gets that first 05:55:05.520 --> 05:55:10.560 official entry in the round and JJ is able to resist TMA and win a gunfight from West Main, 05:55:10.560 --> 05:55:14.480 but again that Selma charge being opened up literally cuts the site in half. You can look 05:55:14.480 --> 05:55:20.560 all the way from bottom fireplace into trophy stairs dealing tons of damage with an AK-12, 05:55:20.560 --> 05:55:24.240 getting itself into the bomb site to cover for while that plant is going down, 05:55:24.240 --> 05:55:29.120 killing the player off on the hatch drop. At least one successful round that wild card needs, 05:55:29.120 --> 05:55:34.960 but it will be another force to at least proc over time as we're seeing bar and gains in defense 05:55:34.960 --> 05:55:40.400 picked here by Five Fears. Another heavy emphasis on the utility extension. You've got rival on the 05:55:40.400 --> 05:55:45.600 Izami probably using most of these Keevos for both mezzanine and maybe some assistance towards 05:55:45.600 --> 05:55:50.720 the library position itself. You also have some of these Eleger's Mott mines to provide extra 05:55:50.720 --> 05:55:55.760 information and maybe help counteract the shields as Spiker at the last second switches on to Black 05:55:55.760 --> 05:56:01.120 I'm also interested in seeing JJ on Sentry, another helpful nitro cell, maybe to stop 05:56:01.120 --> 05:56:05.720 a plant or again deal damage to those ever so powerful shield operators, but the Proc 05:56:05.720 --> 05:56:10.880 Alarm too, there's a lot of chances for lurks, both of the bottom blue staircase and bottom 05:56:10.880 --> 05:56:15.400 main, maybe having those Proc Alarms dedicated to those two staircases gives the Elevors 05:56:15.400 --> 05:56:20.240 lots more opportunities to be placed elsewhere up above for the initial extension and to 05:56:20.240 --> 05:56:22.600 keep one in Snake's back pocket. 05:56:22.600 --> 05:56:25.900 The Nades are already coming out from Spiker to try and burn away these Goyo canisters 05:56:25.900 --> 05:56:31.400 that are on the window where Wildcard will likely try to end after successfully clearing 05:56:31.400 --> 05:56:34.500 library, I would imagine. 05:56:34.500 --> 05:56:40.860 Five Fears also in losing that round are now 0 for 10 in retakes. 05:56:40.860 --> 05:56:44.640 Really looking like they cannot afford to let that defuser down, otherwise it's an automatic 05:56:44.640 --> 05:56:47.860 win for the other team. 05:56:47.860 --> 05:56:52.540 Wildcard still collecting information on both the site and maybe these upstairs players. 05:56:52.540 --> 05:56:56.980 So far the snake from Wildcard has been used attempting to lurk. 05:56:56.980 --> 05:57:02.900 It's been successful one round, kind of, not the other as they had instantly died in the 05:57:02.900 --> 05:57:03.900 round prior. 05:57:03.900 --> 05:57:11.380 C4 goes out, hits the field, and Forest with a dot onto Spiker, kills the Blackbeard, and 05:57:11.380 --> 05:57:14.780 takes away Wildcard's shield before the execute can even begin. 05:57:14.780 --> 05:57:19.100 At least cleared out stock with the help of these Selma charges, but again, losing your 05:57:19.100 --> 05:57:26.660 Blackbeard that's kind of your safety net to allow for a plant to go down. You still have Capitao to at least make space perhaps 05:57:26.860 --> 05:57:32.700 with these fire bolts and smoke bolts, but you still have one more Nitrocell in the pocket of JJ. Plenty of information 05:57:33.380 --> 05:57:37.380 left at their disposal and a minute left to go now for Wildcard. 05:57:37.380 --> 05:57:42.420 They have completely slowed down because of Spikers lost early in round number nine. 05:57:42.580 --> 05:57:47.060 They begin to slowly work their way towards Mezbay winning a crucial fight there looking for another. 05:57:47.060 --> 05:57:53.740 He's traded but the rest of wildcard are still in this fight completely reclaiming the top floor and even 05:57:54.020 --> 05:57:56.760 Even resin Bay to make it a three versus three 05:57:57.260 --> 05:58:01.580 JJ forest and snake all downstairs now snake making a rotation through the basement 05:58:01.580 --> 05:58:07.180 Maybe looking to cover main so that wildcard can't get a walk through lobby JJ and forest both on the site 05:58:07.180 --> 05:58:11.020 No more C4 in hand as JJ has also already used his 05:58:11.020 --> 05:58:16.760 Bay looking towards the bar stop position, lights up JJ, knows about the prone, and as soon as he gets the kill, 05:58:16.760 --> 05:58:23.600 Forrest has a response to keep us into 2 vs 2. Snake hears the drop from Kanzan, and there is the position on Main Stairs that I talked about, 05:58:23.600 --> 05:58:28.440 instantly making sure that the Florez was not going to be able to walk into site with that case. 05:58:28.440 --> 05:58:38.980 Now Baby Shark has to both recover the diffuser and try to find a way into the site, or hunt down both these players who are on opposite sides of the map with only 15 seconds left. 05:58:38.980 --> 05:58:43.720 He enforced exchange a couple of blows, but still the time so low. 05:58:43.720 --> 05:58:50.860 Looking for Snake, who has since wisely backed off, he gets into the bomb site, now planting right under a prox alarm. 05:58:50.860 --> 05:58:57.760 He gets it halfway through. Five fears, maybe gonna play for the retake, he hops off as the L is sprints in, and time will expire. 05:58:57.760 --> 05:59:01.700 Five fears with a dominant 7-2 win on map 1. 05:59:01.700 --> 05:59:16.360 And Snake forcing the solid Snake funneling up off that plant, the clock hitting triple zero, all that force had to do was just sit in the back of Dining Room and look pretty a 72 victory to start off this best of three series. 05:59:16.360 --> 05:59:20.760 We're gonna go to a quick break and return to mountain number two just shortly, so don't go anywhere. 06:06:31.700 --> 06:07:01.180 Welcome 06:07:01.180 --> 06:07:06.180 back to five fears versus wildcard hour Swiss stage finale. 06:07:06.460 --> 06:07:07.300 Yep. 06:07:08.500 --> 06:07:11.620 Kind of hoping for a kind of hoping for a better first map 06:07:11.620 --> 06:07:15.420 though, five years just dominated wildcard seven to on their 06:07:15.420 --> 06:07:20.460 pick of Chalet. And as you can see from the stats, it was quite 06:07:20.460 --> 06:07:25.140 one sided. The only person going positive for wildcard was 06:07:25.140 --> 06:07:28.660 hot and cold eight and seven. And he was one of the biggest 06:07:28.660 --> 06:07:32.660 reasons why Wildcard won those two rounds. Again, you had that massive clutch in 06:07:32.660 --> 06:07:38.820 Bathroom, the 1 versus 2 against Snake. You also had the 4k he got as ace for 06:07:38.820 --> 06:07:43.100 that dining room attack. The rest of the matchup however, five fears were so 06:07:43.100 --> 06:07:48.660 incredibly dominant. Snake, their best gunner on the team by far going 12-2 and 06:07:48.660 --> 06:07:52.860 so impressive. It's funny too Harrison because we've made this comment a 06:07:52.860 --> 06:07:56.820 couple of times about five fears that even when Snake has a bad game, which is 06:07:56.820 --> 06:08:00.380 have been a couple of times, everyone else has played their part. 06:08:00.380 --> 06:08:03.880 Now that he's been activated towards the end of the Switch stage, everyone else is also 06:08:03.880 --> 06:08:05.180 having a great game still. 06:08:05.180 --> 06:08:06.180 Yeah, absolutely. 06:08:06.180 --> 06:08:09.220 Every single person positive except Fence, who is only minus one. 06:08:09.220 --> 06:08:19.260 If we want to take a look at where our next battleground is, it's Café. 06:08:19.260 --> 06:08:26.580 Now the interesting thing about this map, John, Café is not necessarily a fantastic 06:08:26.580 --> 06:08:34.180 map for either team. Wildcard do sometimes go here. They're one in one most recently. 06:08:34.180 --> 06:08:40.700 They played it against Five Fears in that NAL kickoff final and lost it. 06:08:40.700 --> 06:08:49.940 Can it maybe be the comeback map? Wildcard desperately needs against Five Fears. The 06:08:49.940 --> 06:08:55.860 social prediction is still favoring Wildcard just slightly despite the near flawless performance 06:08:55.860 --> 06:09:01.260 by the entire team of 5 Fears on their pick of Chalet. 06:09:01.260 --> 06:09:04.460 I'm interested for Wildcard if they're going to choose to go for the Double Shield 06:09:04.460 --> 06:09:06.500 Band that they had brought last time on Chalet. 06:09:06.500 --> 06:09:10.100 It was Blackbeard and Montane off the board for them. 06:09:10.100 --> 06:09:12.060 One of those two ops will be removed. 06:09:12.060 --> 06:09:17.380 Castle also following suit for 5 Fears' Band on their starting attack half. 06:09:17.380 --> 06:09:20.100 I think Castle's a great band for this map specifically. 06:09:20.100 --> 06:09:23.380 You have a lot of extensions that Castle can assist with upstairs. 06:09:23.380 --> 06:09:29.700 stairs, a lot of those piano over clears tend to be a much longer process, require more 06:09:29.700 --> 06:09:34.220 utility when castles on the board. You need some sort of range breach or just ignoring 06:09:34.220 --> 06:09:38.660 the castle barricades outright. So having you off the board is nice, a zombie to follow 06:09:38.660 --> 06:09:43.300 suit. Basically for the same reason, she's a great defensive operator to assist with 06:09:43.300 --> 06:09:48.420 extending on certain parts of the map and forming power positions. And then we have 06:09:48.420 --> 06:09:53.420 blitzband for wildcard so not the same shield as last time but one of the three 06:09:53.420 --> 06:09:59.100 shields that's played you know almost all the time by five years again this map 06:09:59.100 --> 06:10:05.260 was played in that kickoff final five years one at seven to five and in that 06:10:05.260 --> 06:10:10.740 game John five years had a five one defensive split so we will see how they 06:10:10.740 --> 06:10:15.460 start off on attack they did choose to start on the attack and so before we 06:10:15.460 --> 06:10:18.180 get into the action I think we didn't get really get to mention it before the 06:10:18.180 --> 06:10:21.820 game started because we kind of had to go quickly. The game was ready. 06:10:22.460 --> 06:10:27.060 It rarely go. This is a very special match for John and I. JJ and 06:10:27.060 --> 06:10:30.540 Spiker are two guys that we've been casting for a very long time. Back 06:10:30.540 --> 06:10:35.820 when I started casting 2019, Spiker was 14 and JJ was 15, I think. So I 06:10:35.820 --> 06:10:39.060 have watched these guys careers. I've casted their careers since 06:10:39.060 --> 06:10:42.660 then for the basically the last seven years and for them to be in a 06:10:42.660 --> 06:10:46.080 winner takes all game. That's crazy. Also, again, you know, 06:10:46.080 --> 06:10:52.020 Kansan, Kazan back in T3, Rival, Fens, even Forrest, back on Ape, Snake, I remember when 06:10:52.020 --> 06:10:56.580 Snake got, funny thing, I don't know if we've mentioned this or if any of the other T1 casters 06:10:56.580 --> 06:11:02.420 have mentioned this, Snake actually one time got banned from T3 because of JJ because people 06:11:02.420 --> 06:11:07.940 were convinced he was macroing. And JJ started this movement saying that no one should play 06:11:07.940 --> 06:11:13.260 in any T3 leagues unless Snake was banned. And here they are on a team, one map away 06:11:13.260 --> 06:11:19.020 from main stage. Isn't that crazy? Incredible ball roll. Like enemies to lovers story. It's like 06:11:19.020 --> 06:11:24.220 we were meant to be here to cast this game. For real? Not like Nagar requests or anything crazy, 06:11:24.220 --> 06:11:30.460 but I will say by pure coincidence we've also casted four out of the five five years matches 06:11:30.460 --> 06:11:34.860 during this list stage. Yeah it's the only one that we like we're like yeah can we do this one? 06:11:34.860 --> 06:11:38.700 All the others are just scheduling and just having to work. And because they started O&2 after 06:11:38.700 --> 06:11:42.600 After they officially won against Kaga, I think it was their first official match. 06:11:42.600 --> 06:11:43.760 I made a bet with them saying, 06:11:43.760 --> 06:11:47.680 If you guys end up winning and making the main stage, I will shave my head. 06:11:47.680 --> 06:11:49.600 And they've already won one map, Harrison. 06:11:49.600 --> 06:11:52.840 They're just moments away from making that happen, but Wildcard... 06:11:53.720 --> 06:11:58.420 Managing to get this second win on Cafe is they at least set up with the entry, Spiker! 06:11:58.420 --> 06:12:02.800 Getting rid of JJ, that's your only shield presence in the round for five fears. 06:12:03.500 --> 06:12:06.800 At least some destruction being dealt now by the Boogie Drone of Snake. 06:12:06.800 --> 06:12:11.700 As he's got this piano overextension beginning to push back, Fens, a well-needed trade. 06:12:11.700 --> 06:12:15.580 But they don't know about Baby Shark ratting behind the corner, now good for two, 06:12:15.580 --> 06:12:18.480 as he shuts down Snake, backing away through the humidor. 06:12:18.480 --> 06:12:23.140 And Wildcard look to be taking away the first round of cafe in stride, 06:12:23.140 --> 06:12:28.380 as they only have to secure one more pick onto Forrest, wrapping around in through Freezer now. 06:12:28.380 --> 06:12:33.300 He's got the yellow ping onto Baby Shark, but he wins that tussle with Relativese. 06:12:33.300 --> 06:12:35.920 What a recovery round for Wildcard. 06:12:35.920 --> 06:12:41.040 You had a rough look going into Chalet, but you come out of the gate swing on your first defensive round of cafe 06:12:41.040 --> 06:12:47.380 That's exactly what you need. Absolutely. That is a great start to this game after such a dominant loss on reading room 06:12:47.380 --> 06:12:53.140 To being able to win the site without anyone from the attack even touching that first floor 06:12:53.140 --> 06:13:00.720 That has to be a massive confidence boost for wild card and for baby shark who is so instrumental in that upstairs hold 06:13:00.720 --> 06:13:02.720 I believe getting yet three kills on the thorn 06:13:02.720 --> 06:13:07.000 Strangely enough for five fears, one of their biggest strengths we saw in Chalet, 06:13:07.000 --> 06:13:11.200 that information was just completely absent from that attack. It started with 06:13:11.200 --> 06:13:15.720 JJ dying to spike Earth through the train hatch as he tried to pressure the 06:13:15.720 --> 06:13:19.880 walls, and in five years he just had absolutely no idea that baby shark was 06:13:19.880 --> 06:13:24.200 playing right next to the trash wall. We'll see if five fears amend that 06:13:24.200 --> 06:13:28.200 mistake as Wild Card now go to the other first floor site. It is mining and 06:13:28.200 --> 06:13:33.800 and dining. They still got quite the Rome presence. They've still been the mazzi on hot and cold. 06:13:33.800 --> 06:13:39.320 It's a pretty similar lineup all around in terms of philosophy. You've got the traps still from 06:13:39.320 --> 06:13:41.320 Form 2. You see me really getting played again. 06:13:41.320 --> 06:13:45.000 Spiker on the soulless, and you'll be able to provide a lot of information to the team. 06:13:45.000 --> 06:13:49.880 Kansan even bolster in this top floor. Hold up a Cade because Five Fears not taking the Thatcher. 06:13:51.000 --> 06:13:55.000 And one thing we mentioned briefly before, map number one that I'll say again, 06:13:55.000 --> 06:14:01.700 With 5 Fears being such a dominant team on attack, it's so important for Wildcard to win these rounds on defense. 06:14:01.700 --> 06:14:12.600 And another point to make about that as well is when 5 Fears are on the defensive side, they struggle a lot with denying the plant or winning successful retakes once the plant is successful. 06:14:12.600 --> 06:14:21.800 So again, how well Wildcard do on this first half could really help set them up for success going into their own attacks against 5 Fears. 06:14:21.800 --> 06:14:25.960 Lack of info right now in the hot and cold he hears, at least the rappel of Snake initially, 06:14:25.960 --> 06:14:30.120 but he might have heard that claim more as well, and maybe requiring Spiker to come over and utilize 06:14:30.120 --> 06:14:34.280 some of those impacts or use the solo scanner, so he knows where to shoot for to get rid of this 06:14:34.280 --> 06:14:39.320 player of JJ now, establishing info from the piano side of the map. Nothing too shocking so far. 06:14:39.320 --> 06:14:43.880 I think the most interesting thing we can maybe see is where Forest chooses to lurk from on the 06:14:43.880 --> 06:14:49.560 nook, or this C4 if it can land, it does, but it won't eliminate the nook, only tag her up. 06:14:49.560 --> 06:14:54.720 Boris, oh, just narrowly avoids the Razor Bloom too. 06:14:54.720 --> 06:14:58.680 We saw earlier, Fens opening up some of those, I believe, one of the mirror windows inside 06:14:58.680 --> 06:15:05.280 Freezer and once more, no information on this top floor hold from Five Fears. 06:15:05.280 --> 06:15:10.280 The mirror sprints through the smoke on Freezer Door, takes out the nook, and is freed and 06:15:10.280 --> 06:15:11.880 falls back to the bomb site. 06:15:11.880 --> 06:15:18.200 He gets away in Five Fears through two rounds, have no response for these early deaths. 06:15:18.200 --> 06:15:21.320 Still a lack of info being punished from Wildcard. 06:15:21.320 --> 06:15:26.520 Fantastic discipline there from Babychart saying you know what, it'll be a matter of time for the first to clear me out here. 06:15:26.520 --> 06:15:33.240 Rival. At least trapping Bay in a corner to equalize now as the rest of five fears have cleared this top floor. 06:15:33.240 --> 06:15:38.280 But it's taken almost two minutes and they can't even get any vertical directly in the bomb site. 06:15:38.280 --> 06:15:41.880 They could at least get some over from Piano looking into Train. 06:15:41.880 --> 06:15:45.960 That's the basically connecting room between both bomb sites here. 06:15:45.960 --> 06:16:00.960 Maybe get some pressure established over from bottom-wide as well, getting some boogie drones down, at least in reading room as long as offenders like to position themselves in a crossfire angle, playing by reading room to help deal with and execute towards the final 30 second mark. 06:16:00.960 --> 06:16:06.100 Rival also rotating using some ring panzers to clear out that little chandelier position. 06:16:06.100 --> 06:16:11.460 But in the meantime, five years still spending so much time just preparing to enter into the bomb site. 06:16:11.460 --> 06:16:16.360 I don't know if they'll have enough time to clear out these power spots Wildcard have just set themselves up in. 06:16:16.360 --> 06:16:18.660 I don't know if they have enough info available either. 06:16:18.660 --> 06:16:24.460 You could see towards the tail end of that top floor clear, they were face checking all the angles in cocktail, etc. 06:16:24.460 --> 06:16:28.860 Rival even had to use one of his Grimm's Distachy if there was anyone playing Darkspot. 06:16:28.860 --> 06:16:31.900 because his drone couldn't get through thanks to the mazzi. 06:16:31.900 --> 06:16:35.900 Kansan lurking on those brown stairs just waiting for a flank. 06:16:35.900 --> 06:16:37.600 He gets the pick on the Fens on Heaven. 06:16:37.600 --> 06:16:41.060 Or sorry, on Mubau, Cotton Cold also getting a kill on the rival. 06:16:41.060 --> 06:16:42.900 JJ is trapped between two players. 06:16:42.900 --> 06:16:45.660 He's finally finished off by Baby Shark and Wildcard. 06:16:45.660 --> 06:16:49.900 Shut down five fears after a successful top floor hold. 06:16:49.900 --> 06:16:52.300 They do not allow five fears into the bomb site either. 06:16:52.300 --> 06:16:56.900 An incredible, incredible roam by Wildcard. 06:16:56.900 --> 06:16:59.500 Again, baby shark, ratting in the same corner, 06:16:59.500 --> 06:17:01.660 is undrown by five fears. 06:17:01.660 --> 06:17:04.060 He wins that first entry and immediately backs off. 06:17:04.060 --> 06:17:05.620 He's overstayed his welcome. 06:17:05.620 --> 06:17:09.300 And five fears, now terrified to lose more bodies upstairs, 06:17:09.300 --> 06:17:12.080 spend a significant amount of time clearing 06:17:12.080 --> 06:17:14.300 every single corner up top. 06:17:14.300 --> 06:17:16.700 They cleared out all the freezer, cleared out all the bathroom, 06:17:16.700 --> 06:17:17.940 got white hall control. 06:17:17.940 --> 06:17:19.500 And they did get a kill off of that. 06:17:19.500 --> 06:17:23.620 Bay wasn't able to fall back over from the hell window, 06:17:23.620 --> 06:17:25.020 or the heaven window, my mistake. 06:17:25.020 --> 06:17:28.900 So he at least brought that position into a four versus four. 06:17:28.900 --> 06:17:31.300 But again, that took over two minutes. 06:17:31.300 --> 06:17:33.660 That had 60 seconds left just to gather vertical, 06:17:33.660 --> 06:17:35.900 get more information as to where Wildcard 06:17:35.900 --> 06:17:37.620 have repositioned themselves from. 06:17:37.620 --> 06:17:39.980 And they still weren't playing directly on the site 06:17:39.980 --> 06:17:40.540 in the anchor. 06:17:40.540 --> 06:17:43.980 They were all spread out, forcing, again, more map 06:17:43.980 --> 06:17:46.700 control to be gathered for five fears before they could push 06:17:46.700 --> 06:17:47.340 into the bomb site. 06:17:47.340 --> 06:17:48.780 Because even if they get that plant down, 06:17:48.780 --> 06:17:52.740 the chance for a retake is incredibly strong for Wildcard. 06:17:52.740 --> 06:17:59.060 An early tack timeout called by Five Fears, oddly similar to what we saw on their map 06:17:59.060 --> 06:18:04.980 pick of Chalet where Wildcard after two unsuccessful rounds also went for a tack timeout of their 06:18:04.980 --> 06:18:06.700 own. 06:18:06.700 --> 06:18:11.260 Interested in seeing now what Bar and Cocktail in play for Wildcard at that timeout could 06:18:11.260 --> 06:18:16.300 potentially be their remedy and also, they won't really need to do an official top-to-bottom 06:18:16.300 --> 06:18:18.220 clear of an entire floor. 06:18:18.220 --> 06:18:22.540 Most teams only have to get some outside pressure either from the piano windows or the Cocktail 06:18:22.540 --> 06:18:27.120 windows and then start harrowing the execute immediately after they don't 06:18:27.120 --> 06:18:30.280 have to deal with an entire floor of rum extension to then put pressure on the 06:18:30.280 --> 06:18:36.200 side itself. Early time out from Five Fears trying to amend these attacking 06:18:36.200 --> 06:18:40.040 mistakes again last time they played they took a 5-1 split on defense so I 06:18:40.040 --> 06:18:44.440 don't think they're terribly worried about that other side but so far four 06:18:44.440 --> 06:18:50.080 members of wild card death list through the first couple rounds and again like 06:18:50.080 --> 06:18:55.020 We have both touched on, the information game has been a struggle for this team. 06:18:55.020 --> 06:18:59.900 They'll try to amend it with the Deimos and the Snake, so they'll get a lot of free info there. 06:18:59.900 --> 06:19:06.380 They've got JJ once again on the Monty that I got picked off pretty early on, thanks to the player underneath that train hash. 06:19:06.380 --> 06:19:09.340 That was, I believe, Spiker in train who was able to kill him. 06:19:10.100 --> 06:19:11.920 Wildcard now on bar and cock kill. 06:19:11.920 --> 06:19:14.380 Avoiding Kitchen, at least for now. 06:19:14.860 --> 06:19:15.480 Even though... 06:19:15.880 --> 06:19:18.940 I feel like people tend to avoid the top four more common things these days. 06:19:20.080 --> 06:19:27.480 Again, it's just such an easy bombsite to attack because that lack of map control the defense really has besides on the top four 06:19:27.480 --> 06:19:29.480 Which is where the two bombsite from located 06:19:30.200 --> 06:19:36.900 Wildcard at least have some vert to try to pressure out people like fence for example who's underneath or was for a moment underneath as 06:19:37.480 --> 06:19:42.080 They must know he is I forget it's three floors and not you know two floors in a basement for cafe 06:19:42.080 --> 06:19:45.440 This is it's been a while since we've actually covered this map. No, I think about it 06:19:45.440 --> 06:19:48.120 but Ben is currently underneath the bomb site. 06:19:48.120 --> 06:19:50.280 If there is a drone protecting a red ping 06:19:50.280 --> 06:19:52.240 or getting a red ping off on the defense, 06:19:52.240 --> 06:19:53.880 that could allow for a deathmark track to go off 06:19:53.880 --> 06:19:54.920 and hunting someone down. 06:19:54.920 --> 06:19:58.800 And Spiker spotting JJ, they lock eyes for a moment there. 06:19:58.800 --> 06:20:02.040 So maybe Spiker is forced to fall back a little bit. 06:20:02.040 --> 06:20:03.760 He'll still probably linger down below 06:20:03.760 --> 06:20:06.120 and maybe flanking up one of those two major staircases 06:20:06.120 --> 06:20:09.160 later in the round as I would doubt a lone Montaigne 06:20:09.160 --> 06:20:11.320 could really do much to clear out this Jaeger. 06:20:15.440 --> 06:20:19.920 Yeah, JJ had found him. He probably just had to sit there and stare. 06:20:19.920 --> 06:20:22.440 He'd be like, hey guys, there's a Yeager. 06:20:22.440 --> 06:20:26.000 That's not all he could do. 06:20:26.000 --> 06:20:28.720 The C4 does not land from hot and cold. 06:20:28.720 --> 06:20:36.120 Five fears sitting here biding their time waiting for JJ to walk up light and create 06:20:36.120 --> 06:20:40.920 some space as Kansan is still playing behind that bomb chassis upstairs next to the sentences 06:20:40.920 --> 06:20:46.040 that we saw. Kansan, the player I had just mentioned, kills Rival, descends, I believe, 06:20:46.040 --> 06:20:51.240 on Skylight. Snake is good for a refrag downstairs, softens up, though am I as well, but does 06:20:51.240 --> 06:20:56.800 not get to kill. Now, two players stacked up on White, it's JJ and Fens. The C4 will 06:20:56.800 --> 06:21:06.480 kill them both! And Wildcard looking for a resounding three-round lead. What a recovery! 06:21:06.480 --> 06:21:11.280 how last map went. Sorry, Snake's pain noise there really distracted me. That sounded weird. 06:21:11.280 --> 06:21:15.440 Kansan with the second kill of the round and now Snake has to try and fight against a mirror window. 06:21:15.440 --> 06:21:22.240 That is a losing fight to take and Wildcard are storming back. And for a third time, Harrison, 06:21:22.240 --> 06:21:27.920 we continue to sing the praise of the info established from Wildcard. Spiker on the 06:21:27.920 --> 06:21:33.680 roam, detecting there's a montane already walking through White Stairs that allows the rest of Wildcard 06:21:33.680 --> 06:21:39.020 to set up two bodies near pallet with a nitro cell to stop that initial attack. 06:21:39.020 --> 06:21:44.580 SpikeR may of course have died on flank watch from Snake, but again, so much emphasis was 06:21:44.580 --> 06:21:50.020 put on that bottom to top, clear done by Five Fears, and nothing was gained from it. 06:21:50.020 --> 06:21:52.220 You lose your Montaine. 06:21:52.220 --> 06:21:55.820 The Deimos downstairs didn't get a lot of information or even worked a pick through 06:21:55.820 --> 06:21:56.820 that vert. 06:21:56.820 --> 06:21:58.900 The only successful kill was Snake. 06:21:58.900 --> 06:21:59.900 What a C4. 06:21:59.900 --> 06:22:00.900 Yeah, it was an incredible C4. 06:22:00.900 --> 06:22:20.900 Speaking of information, not a single sound cue or even a phantom pressure was applied from Piano, so that allows the rest of Wildcard as well to play pretty comfortably from White Hall, that there being anyone pushing behind them for a flank towards Piano, because again the mirror window and lack of general presence established there by five years. 06:22:20.900 --> 06:22:29.160 3 rounds in a row now for wildcard even after the tack timeout of five years and they'll go back to reading room where the again 06:22:29.360 --> 06:22:36.860 Spiker got that initial entry onto JJ the shield presence has really been lacking in this first half for five years and baby shark 06:22:36.860 --> 06:22:40.420 Off a lack of correct info by five years got a triple kill 06:22:40.420 --> 06:22:46.420 I I still feel like that lack of information from five years has been one of their biggest weak points 06:22:46.420 --> 06:22:49.580 And I think that's probably why they're bringing so much information this brown hair 06:22:49.580 --> 06:22:54.900 and look at what they've got. There's a Grim, a Deimos, and Snake being played by Solid Snake, funny enough. 06:22:55.660 --> 06:23:02.380 They also have banned the Mausie, maybe trying to make it a little bit easier to drone into the building. 06:23:02.380 --> 06:23:09.020 They get information there. I mean, again, just look at the score lines. From last map, Snake, who was 12 and 2, 06:23:09.020 --> 06:23:14.020 he's 1 and 3, Forest is 0 and 3, Baby Shark is 8 and 0. 06:23:14.020 --> 06:23:21.620 So, he is having a tremendous start here trying to push us to a map 3, which I think we both 06:23:21.620 --> 06:23:22.620 agree that we would enjoy. 06:23:22.620 --> 06:23:23.620 Absolutely. 06:23:23.620 --> 06:23:25.940 This game to go on longer, so. 06:23:25.940 --> 06:23:31.260 If you are a wild card fan, fingers crossed that they can keep up this momentum, especially 06:23:31.260 --> 06:23:32.780 heading into the second half. 06:23:32.780 --> 06:23:37.840 Now the game is not yet over for five fears if they can still salvage two rounds on this 06:23:37.840 --> 06:23:38.840 side. 06:23:38.840 --> 06:23:43.540 Still in a pretty good position heading into the latter half. 06:23:43.540 --> 06:23:46.380 Like you mentioned, Five Fears taking a lot of information. 06:23:46.380 --> 06:23:48.180 The Wildcard haven't been of information too. 06:23:48.180 --> 06:23:50.580 They've got Echo, they've got Valkyrie, they've got Thorns. 06:23:50.580 --> 06:23:52.020 They've got tons of cameras. 06:23:52.020 --> 06:23:53.580 They've got some traps at their disposal 06:23:53.580 --> 06:23:56.100 to call out the location that Five Fears push. 06:23:56.100 --> 06:23:59.020 Five Fears right now, focus on both the top four, 06:23:59.020 --> 06:24:00.980 as well as JJ walking in through light, 06:24:00.980 --> 06:24:02.220 taking some damage from the floor, 06:24:02.220 --> 06:24:03.900 but now walking his way up to pressure 06:24:03.900 --> 06:24:06.180 through pallets and into cocktail. 06:24:06.180 --> 06:24:08.380 Dodging the anchor at least on the first floor, 06:24:08.380 --> 06:24:11.180 maybe sandwiching this player behind the shot 06:24:11.180 --> 06:24:16.700 the Shikos yield. Han cold still the initial entry though. Is that a fourth entry now in a row for Wildcard? 06:24:16.700 --> 06:24:18.080 I believe it is. 06:24:18.080 --> 06:24:22.080 Five years do get a response at least and are now successful at clearing up this top floor, 06:24:22.080 --> 06:24:28.780 but at what cost, Harrison, they're still at a player advantage, and now they have to begin pushing deeper towards that bottom floor, 06:24:28.780 --> 06:24:30.780 maybe to work for picks or at least 06:24:31.200 --> 06:24:35.460 sneaking their way into site. It's no longer mining room this time. JJ can plant from reading. 06:24:35.460 --> 06:24:40.060 Rival does have the cutoff, but Wildcard also can just ignore White Stairs. 06:24:40.060 --> 06:24:43.460 They could push from Brown, they could go from Red, which is exactly what they've done now. 06:24:43.460 --> 06:24:46.460 Looking for a three versus two retake, they're just buddying up. 06:24:46.460 --> 06:24:52.460 Rival now establishing a vert presence. JJ almost catches Spike off guard to even things up. 06:24:52.460 --> 06:25:01.060 Wildcard may have to go for a top floor retake here and leave JJ alone and try to power Rival 3 against 1. 06:25:01.060 --> 06:25:07.060 The gridlock, maybe hearing baby shark climbing those white stairs, is aware of this push, 06:25:07.060 --> 06:25:11.860 takes some damage, looking to back off. Does this create enough space for the other two defenders to 06:25:11.860 --> 06:25:16.420 pressure on JJ? No, baby shark dies. Kansan's getting this counter-diffuse, but again, 06:25:16.420 --> 06:25:22.180 the gridlock is placed upstairs, three for rival, and five fears recover the round to get their first point. 06:25:22.900 --> 06:25:29.300 A big gamble there for five fears sending JJ all the way through right to white to assist on that 06:25:29.300 --> 06:25:34.560 clear upstairs but it was able to once again cut off the fallback. The Romers 06:25:34.560 --> 06:25:38.080 initially thought they would have had over from Palitz again the open hatch. 06:25:38.080 --> 06:25:42.780 You tend to see established dropping into laundry that safe haven right off the 06:25:42.780 --> 06:25:47.040 bomb site of Reading Room inaccessible. The Montaigne blocking him off and as 06:25:47.040 --> 06:25:51.980 well the heaven balcony being guarded from the window or pelt outside the map. 06:25:51.980 --> 06:25:56.940 Great sandwich there from five fears and once they noticed off the grim 06:25:56.940 --> 06:26:00.840 information that both defenders near white stairs just back down into the 06:26:00.840 --> 06:26:04.740 first floor they had an open bomb site they immediately get that plant down 06:26:04.740 --> 06:26:08.100 rival goes back upstairs they've already cleared out the top floor so they can 06:26:08.100 --> 06:26:12.500 establish vert now and JJ just starts taking everyone through circles around 06:26:12.500 --> 06:26:17.780 the first floor he's wasting as much time as humanly possible and it gives 06:26:17.780 --> 06:26:22.300 enough opportunity for five years to bring it back in the post plant still 06:26:22.300 --> 06:26:28.460 still having a perfect conversion at least in this game for plants, they're finally on 06:26:28.460 --> 06:26:33.140 the board and again just an identical scoreline while we had that first half of map 1. 06:26:33.140 --> 06:26:39.100 Yeah the call to just send JJ in for the plant was a brilliant shades of the gap bits we 06:26:39.100 --> 06:26:42.820 were spotting or that they were spotting and that we saw on Chalet. 06:26:42.820 --> 06:26:46.620 They are going to need a lot more of that if they want to recover the half because that 06:26:46.620 --> 06:26:52.620 round was still down to the wire. Wildcard still took advantage of the lack of 06:26:52.620 --> 06:26:57.540 information from Five Fears, the improved tradeability that we've also seen 06:26:57.540 --> 06:27:01.680 from the gestures on map number two. It's gonna be a kitchen defense for the 06:27:01.680 --> 06:27:06.500 first time this map. They have not gone here just yet. Baby Shark on the Rome 06:27:06.500 --> 06:27:10.700 along with Kansan, who I'm sure has established some sort of verticality 06:27:10.700 --> 06:27:15.580 in-train and around the top of that bomb site. Baby Shark now rotating back 06:27:15.580 --> 06:27:19.420 downstairs towards reg because five fears are starting to pressure out Bakery. 06:27:21.260 --> 06:27:24.300 Like the call made from Wildcard as well, going to a new bomb set of double 06:27:24.300 --> 06:27:29.100 kitchen, still emphasizing the roam that five fears have initially struggled 06:27:29.100 --> 06:27:32.620 with, but also for their anchor, having a lot of plant denial focused 06:27:32.660 --> 06:27:36.260 operators like the echo, like the smoke and with those rumors, while baby 06:27:36.260 --> 06:27:38.420 sharks being alive on souls could also be massive. 06:27:38.420 --> 06:27:42.540 But the info game from five years starting to wake up here as JJ sneaks 06:27:42.540 --> 06:27:46.920 in through prep, getting rid of the Wilmae early is a massive kill to find, and they 06:27:46.920 --> 06:27:51.560 could maybe start getting pressure directly into site, but that smoke grenade tossed 06:27:51.560 --> 06:27:53.920 out forcing JJ to back away. 06:27:53.920 --> 06:27:57.640 It looks to be a bakery direct for five years as of right now as they hop in through small 06:27:57.640 --> 06:28:01.400 bakery, getting this cut off now established. 06:28:01.400 --> 06:28:02.640 Are we going to see a plant soon here? 06:28:02.640 --> 06:28:06.000 So it's likely, but again, we've talked about all the utility that Wildcarts still 06:28:06.000 --> 06:28:07.000 had to shut it down. 06:28:07.000 --> 06:28:11.840 Oh, but the solace upstairs is dead, and Kansen is out of gas canisters trying to delay 06:28:11.840 --> 06:28:16.080 JJ and Prep, it's up to Spiker now, just with his gun to take down the Nomad. 06:28:16.080 --> 06:28:19.940 Rival's the man with the case though, and he's also inside Prep. 06:28:19.940 --> 06:28:24.280 A lot of this is probably gonna come down to whether or not Spiker can use his Yokais 06:28:24.280 --> 06:28:31.280 to delay enough time for Kanzan and Hotten Cold to make a play as Hotten works his way through VIP. 06:28:31.280 --> 06:28:35.320 Likely going to either make a move up White to flank or just continue to watch this hatch. 06:28:35.320 --> 06:28:41.080 Spiker, I believe through the vert, takes down Forrest to even the odds at three bodies apiece. 06:28:41.080 --> 06:28:44.240 Rival is still not comfortable enough to go for this plant. 06:28:44.240 --> 06:28:49.340 He's worried about the yokais and the bevy of information that they can supply to the rest of the defense. 06:28:49.340 --> 06:28:55.160 Spots it for a moment, down goes one as Snake gives his team the man advantage, though Hot and Cold very quickly 06:28:55.660 --> 06:28:59.960 puts it back in the hands, or puts the round control back in the hands of Wildcard. 06:28:59.960 --> 06:29:03.960 Though I say that, Jon, I didn't realize they picked off Spiker, the Echo. 06:29:03.960 --> 06:29:07.880 So now there's zero plant denial available for Wildcard. 06:29:07.880 --> 06:29:13.000 Five fears though, still worry about the information they provide. Another yokai being spotted by Rival. 06:29:13.000 --> 06:29:17.960 Snake now in a position to help cover him, he's going to have to worry about both the whiskey double door, 06:29:17.960 --> 06:29:23.240 as well as those head holes into carpet. Snake has to watch basically two angles at the same time 06:29:23.240 --> 06:29:28.760 as Rival starts to complete this plant. The C4 shot out of midair, but Rival dusted off a bit. 06:29:28.760 --> 06:29:33.880 I believe he fell off the plant, worried about the C4, and with two seconds left there is nothing 06:29:33.880 --> 06:29:38.020 That snake can do. Oh, we didn't trust his teammate Harrison wild card 06:29:38.720 --> 06:29:43.840 Stealing the round away after it was a good gap spotted from five fears initially 06:29:43.840 --> 06:29:50.200 The lack of vert through prep allows JJ to walk in for free gets the entry on to bay and the second one to follow suit 06:29:50.360 --> 06:29:55.480 From rival but the composure from wild card and the intel off of spikers 06:29:55.480 --> 06:29:59.400 Yo Kai is what kept them consistently battling back 06:29:59.960 --> 06:30:01.640 against five fears 06:30:01.640 --> 06:30:07.900 Equalizer pick after equalizer pick from spiker. You still had your smoke player and coat check that key cutoff 06:30:08.080 --> 06:30:13.460 To stop a plant from a bakery sided attack wild card despite losing some initial bodies 06:30:13.480 --> 06:30:16.060 Had a lot of power positions at five years 06:30:16.280 --> 06:30:22.060 Didn't really have a response for it felt like in that round and again seeing this moment 06:30:22.060 --> 06:30:25.780 And that's the poor boy shot. Yeah, he was just seconds away 06:30:25.780 --> 06:30:29.700 I mean maybe cans and if he you know over swung a little bit there could have still killed him 06:30:29.700 --> 06:30:32.740 but at least the plant would have gone down in a one versus two. 06:30:33.380 --> 06:30:35.620 It was a nice shot landed by Snake. Don't get me wrong, 06:30:35.620 --> 06:30:40.740 but Wildcard double swinging off hearing the plant Q guaranteed them that pick. 06:30:41.100 --> 06:30:43.940 And now it's a two versus one with Snake really out of options there. 06:30:43.940 --> 06:30:48.820 Wildcard have been playing near perfectly on their defensive half. 06:30:48.840 --> 06:30:50.420 I've been so impressed by them. 06:30:51.260 --> 06:30:55.580 Yeah. This is like a complete 180 from what we saw on Chalet, 06:30:55.580 --> 06:30:59.340 where Wildcard were allowing five fears to set up when they did roam. 06:30:59.340 --> 06:31:03.260 They roamed a little bit solo and got picked off by the really good players from Five Fears. 06:31:03.260 --> 06:31:08.900 There's significantly less gaps in the defenses that we're seeing with the exception of that one round. 06:31:08.900 --> 06:31:11.180 That Five Fears got the plant down here on cafe. 06:31:11.180 --> 06:31:17.100 They haven't been able to gap hit. Their info has been lacking and wildcard have been taking full advantage of it. 06:31:17.100 --> 06:31:19.780 Now our final defense is on mining. 06:31:19.780 --> 06:31:23.100 Five Fears unable to crack it on round two. 06:31:23.100 --> 06:31:26.700 They need to here if they want that two-four split. 06:31:26.700 --> 06:31:31.700 Snake finding some Goyo packs, getting a lot of value out of these Twitch drones. 06:31:31.700 --> 06:31:35.700 Five fears set up outside that mining window. 06:31:35.700 --> 06:31:40.700 I imagine though they'll at least have somebody holding up Stigia. 06:31:40.700 --> 06:31:44.700 Okay, there's two players on the roof. JJ also rotates up here as well. 06:31:44.700 --> 06:31:46.700 And they'll try to deal with Baby Shark. 06:31:46.700 --> 06:31:51.700 And that Mira off the board now allows them to at least force back this Mira. 06:31:51.700 --> 06:31:55.700 Get the Habana in the building, open up that hatch through the train. 06:31:55.700 --> 06:32:00.660 Again, a key position to have for the defense is you can watch over both mining room and 06:32:00.660 --> 06:32:05.260 fireplace, and even have some pretty strong anchor spots as well through the train to avoid 06:32:05.260 --> 06:32:08.820 a lot of that verticality things like to establish. 06:32:08.820 --> 06:32:13.420 About over a minute burned off of five years' timer as I start pushing in these bogey drones, 06:32:13.420 --> 06:32:16.980 again establishing burr over not only the bomb site but also partially train room. 06:32:16.980 --> 06:32:20.860 A lot of defenders like to play in from there. 06:32:20.860 --> 06:32:24.580 And still just double checking to make sure there's no one else left above on this top 06:32:24.580 --> 06:32:28.420 floor for a potential flank which has almost happened once or twice from 06:32:28.420 --> 06:32:32.740 wildcard's heavy roam but now we see the rotate down below into the first floor 06:32:32.740 --> 06:32:36.980 with baby shark having a nitro cell if placed correctly that could stop a 06:32:36.980 --> 06:32:42.940 plant outright from both sites I believe. Absolutely I think there's some safe spots 06:32:42.940 --> 06:32:48.580 not very many baby shark and also I think he's trying to establish verticality 06:32:48.580 --> 06:32:52.140 under the window so that if someone jumps in to go for that plant you can 06:32:52.140 --> 06:32:55.900 and catch them from below, about a minute left now for five 06:32:55.900 --> 06:32:57.580 fears to mount this push. 06:32:57.580 --> 06:32:59.660 They established top floor control. 06:32:59.660 --> 06:33:03.500 They got the ram to open up most of that ceiling. 06:33:03.500 --> 06:33:06.420 I believe they're going to try and end mining considering 06:33:06.420 --> 06:33:08.700 that's where the twitch's focus was in destroying 06:33:08.700 --> 06:33:10.100 most of those Goyopax. 06:33:10.100 --> 06:33:13.580 I think all of the Goyopax that were actually in the B site. 06:33:13.580 --> 06:33:15.860 JJ likely going to look to drop Trayn soon. 06:33:15.860 --> 06:33:18.860 He'll have to worry about Spiker and Han Cold 06:33:18.860 --> 06:33:21.780 maybe thinking about a top floor retake. 06:33:21.780 --> 06:33:30.740 Spiker though disoriented by the Zofia, killed by Rival, upstairs here comes the flamethrower from Hot and Cold, spotted by Fens and now dealt with as he tries to rush over to the hatch. 06:33:30.740 --> 06:33:36.520 JJ sticking this plant dies to Baby Shark below, but all the frags are coming up five fears. 06:33:36.520 --> 06:33:47.400 Baby Shark may have been able to deny the first plant attempt, but with all of his teammates dead, Rival is able to easily get the reattempt and now it's a 4v1 retake for the mirror. 06:33:47.400 --> 06:33:52.000 They know exactly where he is rival shuts him down and five fears take their second attack a 06:33:52.800 --> 06:33:58.280 Clinical attack from five fears to at least bring us in a two to four split for the half 06:33:58.280 --> 06:34:04.620 We'll see what both coaches now have to say after round number six is concluded. Hey, yep. Yep. I listen to me, please 06:34:05.400 --> 06:34:11.240 Stop trying to rush to win. We can take our time bring the series back in win the same way we did last time, okay? 06:34:11.360 --> 06:34:15.320 Stay confident you talked about our defenses press the fuck out of them 06:34:15.320 --> 06:34:21.560 Don't let them impress does not mean blitz and do stupid crazy shit and means make them use their utile against the fucking building 06:34:21.560 --> 06:34:27.140 That way they have no to the clear site. Okay, play fucking smart here. Listen to your teammates listen to Brock's calls 06:34:27.140 --> 06:34:32.640 Listen to the wind counts. Don't get ahead of ourselves round by round. We get one more round here. We're fully back in this game 06:34:32.640 --> 06:34:36.800 Okay, they locks they compose. We're fucking good right now boys. Beautiful fucking half 06:34:39.160 --> 06:34:42.400 So baby shark is useless a five before every round 06:34:42.400 --> 06:35:00.400 I think we just do another one, there should be another one there. 06:35:00.400 --> 06:35:06.640 I want you to get your glass prox with the LKV stuff and remember for a second time that I do this G to change a little bit 06:35:06.640 --> 06:35:11.120 Bait the distance walls, right? Be careful for this no-door peek. Yeah, I can bait that right now. 06:35:11.120 --> 06:35:17.120 For next time we can bait a little bit, okay? Who plays no matter if I am going in, haven't I? 06:35:17.120 --> 06:35:19.120 Yes, for the readying both sides. 06:35:20.000 --> 06:35:24.000 And keep your eye on the thing, of course, this is a playing setup, but read the game. If you need something fast, of course. 06:35:24.000 --> 06:35:26.000 You guys call it really fast, something fast, of course. 06:35:26.000 --> 06:35:29.600 And that's it. I think it just focus about communication guys again 06:35:29.600 --> 06:35:32.440 What is the next step make sure that we talk about right in this less defense? 06:35:32.440 --> 06:35:35.020 Yeah, a little bit better, right? But right here same stuff, okay? 06:35:35.020 --> 06:35:38.440 We're gonna kill better from we've got a kill better from now on who we're gonna kill gonna kill freezer 06:35:38.440 --> 06:35:42.480 Okay, how we do that right talk about it and remember what it says back about execution 06:35:42.480 --> 06:35:47.520 Sometimes gonna have top four. We don't need to take a hundred times to like a hundred years to execute 06:35:47.520 --> 06:35:51.480 Sometimes guys gonna see the portuna to tempo right that's execution. If you have to go to kill 06:35:51.480 --> 06:35:55.400 Do you said about the first goal? We don't have much vertical so it can go for this execution, right? 06:35:55.400 --> 06:35:59.560 Another thing about the mentality, maybe Farz is going to do the runouts, right? 06:35:59.560 --> 06:36:02.760 If you do a runout, maybe you have the gift to push bomb site, right? 06:36:02.760 --> 06:36:04.360 Remember that, and of course, in this game... 06:36:08.120 --> 06:36:14.120 Timeouts have concluded, five fears still confident going into these defensive half despite being down to four. 06:36:14.120 --> 06:36:18.840 Again, I think a big part of that being that the last time they played Wildcard here, they went five-one, 06:36:18.840 --> 06:36:23.720 and that will be enough to win the map. There's the Glasban, they were talking about the Dokobe as well 06:36:23.720 --> 06:36:30.840 to try and take away some of that lurk ability and there she is. Azami and Castle go down for the 06:36:30.840 --> 06:36:37.480 attack or rather the attackers ban Azami and Castle for the defense. So on Cafe we see a lot of 06:36:37.480 --> 06:36:43.160 Castle play. We see a lot of Azami play so that you can extend into locations like Cigar shop, 06:36:43.160 --> 06:36:50.120 like Piano, etc. Castle and especially with this map being so window heavy those two operators are 06:36:50.120 --> 06:36:56.200 very useful so taking those away might force five fears to play a little bit closer to the bombsite. 06:36:58.200 --> 06:37:02.520 First bombsite in play for five fears will be reading room and fireplace. 06:37:03.320 --> 06:37:08.280 It's got the mute and mazzy composition as well to help with that drone denial and also 06:37:08.280 --> 06:37:12.600 just keeping this roam alive for a while longer to again the lack of active information because 06:37:12.600 --> 06:37:17.320 the mute jammers and the mazzy pests could make it harder to clear out rat spots which is kind of a 06:37:17.320 --> 06:37:23.060 a problem area for 5 fears in their first half. 06:37:23.060 --> 06:37:26.860 You also do have some nitrosomes you can play for underneath, once forced in Snake, maybe 06:37:26.860 --> 06:37:32.480 choosing to fall back, you can create a ton of vertical with 4 shotguns in play, 3 of 06:37:32.480 --> 06:37:36.500 them being the secondary shotgun of a Super Shorty, so that's kind of funny. 06:37:36.500 --> 06:37:40.720 This might be the most shotguns we have seen in a game, because Baby Shark I think also 06:37:40.720 --> 06:37:44.740 has the Mosper too, and Bay is on gridlock. 06:37:44.740 --> 06:37:50.540 They also, by the way, 0-5 so far has not been having a great series again as the top 06:37:50.540 --> 06:37:56.860 rated player I believe for Wildcard, especially the best when it comes to those entry engagements. 06:37:56.860 --> 06:37:59.820 Wildcard, now that they're on the attack, a more difficult side, I think they're going 06:37:59.820 --> 06:38:03.720 to really need they to wake up. 06:38:03.720 --> 06:38:05.420 Five years of course extending upstairs. 06:38:05.420 --> 06:38:11.660 They've got Rival in Cocktail, Fens and Snake supporting over by Cigar and Fianas. 06:38:11.660 --> 06:38:18.580 Despite the loss of the Azami in the castle, a very far forward extension on the top floor. 06:38:18.580 --> 06:38:24.580 Patch is already being opened. Snake may be thinking about sending one up through on the roof. 06:38:24.580 --> 06:38:29.580 I think he was just waiting for a quick drop. Wildcard of course are going to contest this top floor. 06:38:29.580 --> 06:38:35.580 They've got a lot of tools to do so, and once they get it clear, we're going to see Baby Shark start to work on that floor. 06:38:35.580 --> 06:38:41.420 The war is on to the angles as well being established to maybe assist with dealing with 06:38:41.420 --> 06:38:46.660 piano here, bang finally on the board as he tried walking up through wide I believe in 06:38:46.660 --> 06:38:52.140 those at least two for one not a bad start here for a wildcard in this second half baby 06:38:52.140 --> 06:38:56.300 shark getting himself sneaked into bathroom as well off the maybe the sound cube the Selma 06:38:56.300 --> 06:39:00.700 charges wildcard still with that man advantage looking to clear out the rest of this top 06:39:00.700 --> 06:39:04.780 floor they still have time to get vertical at that minute 30 mark but again you gotta 06:39:04.780 --> 06:39:09.780 Don't worry about at least the one nitro cell still left in Forrest's back pocket as he now sets up for Vert as well. 06:39:09.780 --> 06:39:17.280 Maybe to counteract Wildcard once they push past this barrier of Freezer heading into the position of Cocktail deeper to look towards site. 06:39:17.280 --> 06:39:26.780 Rival though the next to Fall C4 prepped and ready from Forest. Wildcard have quite the advantage now as Baby Shark starts to work on that floor. 06:39:26.780 --> 06:39:28.780 Right above the... 06:39:28.780 --> 06:39:37.780 ...Spiker now rotating downstairs for a plant to tend through the snow door, supported by Hot and Cold, who of course has the fire arrows to stop any push up. 06:39:37.780 --> 06:39:41.780 C4 goes up from Forest, but it does not land. 06:39:41.780 --> 06:39:44.780 Now there's no C4 at all for this defense. 06:39:44.780 --> 06:39:47.780 JJ contesting Snowdoor for a moment, but ends up falling back. 06:39:47.780 --> 06:39:53.780 I think by fears now know about the game plan from Wildcard that they're going to try and flood and go through that B door. 06:39:53.780 --> 06:40:00.440 The rotation, not being spotted, JJ gets one, but he's quickly refried by Hot and Cold that Forest also finds in kind. 06:40:00.440 --> 06:40:06.260 Worried about a potential plant attempt, he checks it, is able to get all the way back despite Spiker being inside. 06:40:06.260 --> 06:40:12.160 Killer, here's the swing from Forest, they both soften each other up through the wall, but there's no kill. 06:40:12.160 --> 06:40:14.160 His baby shark is still playing upstairs. 06:40:14.160 --> 06:40:21.860 He now drops into Pillar, trying to support Spiker, knowing that Forest is very unlikely to try and retake top Florena 1 vs 2. 06:40:21.860 --> 06:40:23.940 Spiker in a very safe plant spot. 06:40:23.940 --> 06:40:28.180 Forrest with no C4 cannot deny he'll have to forfeit that plant attempt and brew the wall. 06:40:28.180 --> 06:40:32.180 Spiker gets off the case and confirms the round for wild card. 06:40:32.180 --> 06:40:34.100 A smart move by Spiker there as well. 06:40:34.100 --> 06:40:37.300 Getting up the default plant and instead going behind the couch, 06:40:37.300 --> 06:40:42.020 it completely threw Forrest through a whirl, having no clue where this plant was going down. 06:40:42.020 --> 06:40:46.820 He kept getting peeked as well by the sledge of Baby Shark just slowly chipping away 06:40:46.820 --> 06:40:48.740 at his HP when the plant finally gone down. 06:40:48.740 --> 06:40:56.380 You're back into two versus one forces one shot and locked out of sight wild card an extremely well paced round 06:40:56.380 --> 06:40:58.500 It wasn't fast or out of the ordinary 06:40:58.500 --> 06:41:04.140 But it opened up with Bay getting two for one kills in that minute to minute 30 marker 06:41:04.140 --> 06:41:08.420 We saw for wild card that gave them plenty of extra time to deal with the rest of the room 06:41:08.420 --> 06:41:10.060 That was had upstairs 06:41:10.060 --> 06:41:14.780 Establish vert pressure and keep a consistent trade game. It didn't feel like wild card 06:41:14.780 --> 06:41:17.820 We're going for any flashy lurks towards the end of that round 06:41:17.820 --> 06:41:24.780 They already secured two picks necessary to start putting pressure into site and playing for the win condition of the plant and unfortunately forest 06:41:25.220 --> 06:41:31.560 Unable to win that round wild card a massive lead still heading into their attacks for cafe 06:41:31.560 --> 06:41:38.480 We're heading into double-pitching now for five fears still a good emphasis of utility over towards that bakery side of the nap 06:41:38.480 --> 06:41:42.720 Again, that's where they ended up pushing in from whilst they attack this bottom four objective 06:41:42.720 --> 06:41:47.420 We saw the sends being mentioned as well during that halftime phase Harrison 06:41:47.420 --> 06:41:53.780 That is going to be played almost immediately by wild card again using those RU projectors to cut off a lot of those long 06:41:53.980 --> 06:41:59.700 Sightlines you typically see held by defenders on double kitchen can make that better for a plant significantly easier 06:42:00.180 --> 06:42:06.160 Also shout out Bay. We mentioned he was 0 and 5. They needed him to wake up on that attack. He fights two kills 06:42:07.140 --> 06:42:09.140 immediately 06:42:09.140 --> 06:42:15.440 And off of those entries Wildcard were able to help score, they were able to storm that top floor and mount that execute. 06:42:15.440 --> 06:42:17.640 Now five fears, they're on double-kitchen. 06:42:19.200 --> 06:42:26.520 They've got one person on the second floor and that snake, but he very quickly just shoots a drone and then falls back. 06:42:27.140 --> 06:42:36.040 Five fears, I think, remembering that their biggest strength through this tournament so far has been their ability to play off each other in the anchor. 06:42:36.040 --> 06:42:40.460 Their sight game has been almost unbeatable. 06:42:40.460 --> 06:42:45.460 Really, the only times we saw it get beat was by all gamers with those Monty plays on there. 06:42:45.460 --> 06:42:54.160 Other than that, they have been incredibly stalwart when they force the attack to push into a 5-man hole. 06:42:56.160 --> 06:42:59.660 Wildcard beginning to establish some vert from upstairs. 06:42:59.660 --> 06:43:05.660 The lack of a round did make that initial first minute quite safe for Wildcard's spending time. 06:43:05.660 --> 06:43:07.460 Just gathering information, double checking, okay? 06:43:07.460 --> 06:43:09.060 They don't have anyone playing upstairs. 06:43:09.060 --> 06:43:12.060 We can now bring the buck in, utilize that skeleton key 06:43:12.060 --> 06:43:14.060 to clear out positions towards site. 06:43:14.060 --> 06:43:16.260 Maybe even getting some angles towards Coachek 06:43:16.260 --> 06:43:19.660 as you almost always have someone playing close by to Coachek. 06:43:19.660 --> 06:43:22.660 No matter how you like to defend on a double-kitchen defense. 06:43:22.660 --> 06:43:24.460 There's a lot more presence here by VIP 06:43:24.460 --> 06:43:26.860 and Brown slash Whiskey Bar, however, 06:43:26.860 --> 06:43:29.460 for five fears looking to challenge that Brown staircase 06:43:29.460 --> 06:43:31.660 and put pressure towards White, 06:43:31.660 --> 06:43:33.960 which given the fact that the top to bottom clear from Wildcard, 06:43:33.960 --> 06:43:39.620 They could just try to drop down through freezer rather than clearing from bakery like we saw five fears do in an attempt 06:43:39.620 --> 06:43:44.520 To secure that plant and the RRUs are so effective at clearing out the sink position 06:43:45.000 --> 06:43:51.800 Making that long wall to dodge the red double and give yourself basically a free window hop in to plant by the sink making it 06:43:51.800 --> 06:43:54.240 Very safe to establish a post plant setup 06:43:54.240 --> 06:43:59.360 But no one's died just yet from either side to the 40 second marker where spiker gets a pick through this vert 06:43:59.360 --> 06:44:04.360 Forest also, I believe the only player left on the defense who still had a C4. 06:44:04.360 --> 06:44:10.360 JJ and Fens have both expended theirs. The flank attempt from Snake is spotted by Hot and Cold. 06:44:10.360 --> 06:44:15.360 He's not dead just yet. There's information thanks to the Valkyrie cameras up in the chandelier. 06:44:15.360 --> 06:44:18.360 Spiker drops into the bomb site and gets lit up. 06:44:18.360 --> 06:44:25.360 Close to him is Fens who's just gonna try and sneak through, but he ends up dying to Bay who's taken deep into Bunker. 06:44:25.360 --> 06:44:30.720 Spiker gets the plant down and we know just how bad this is for five fears. 06:44:30.720 --> 06:44:32.440 0 and 10 on the retakes. 06:44:32.440 --> 06:44:35.000 One death away from being 0 and 11. 06:44:35.000 --> 06:44:37.880 Wildcard up 6 to 2. 06:44:38.640 --> 06:44:41.920 A beautiful clear from Wildcard. 06:44:41.920 --> 06:44:44.200 Obviously no roam to be dealt with upstairs. 06:44:44.200 --> 06:44:47.400 They get the vert down at an extremely reasonable time, 06:44:47.400 --> 06:44:50.640 but picking apart that defensive extension bit by bit 06:44:50.640 --> 06:44:55.400 and ignoring the parts of the map that weren't required to get a post plant. 06:44:55.400 --> 06:44:59.440 They only had to clear out a majority of that bomb site with the help of the skeleton key, 06:44:59.440 --> 06:45:03.880 the help of the ROUs, they get bunker control, so now the solid snake can assist sense. 06:45:03.880 --> 06:45:06.440 Waltz stays to secure a plant by default. 06:45:06.440 --> 06:45:10.760 There's no chance for five fears to recover once that plant has gone down. 06:45:10.760 --> 06:45:12.480 Their flank was unsuccessful. 06:45:12.480 --> 06:45:14.920 They had the opening death in this round. 06:45:14.920 --> 06:45:18.400 It almost looked like Fence could have gotten away with at least stopping the plant outright, 06:45:18.400 --> 06:45:22.800 But even then, you just have your teammate recover that diffuser and continue that same plan. 06:45:22.800 --> 06:45:25.600 And now you've got Vert upstairs to cover the diffuser. 06:45:26.100 --> 06:45:29.900 Very tough bombsite once the plant is down to come back from as a defender, 06:45:29.900 --> 06:45:33.200 unless it's a close man count between each teams. 06:45:33.400 --> 06:45:40.500 Like you mentioned, map point now for Wildcard one round away from bringing us to Clubhouse, 06:45:40.500 --> 06:45:44.500 where just yesterday Wildcard lost to Dark Zero. 06:45:44.500 --> 06:45:48.140 So an interesting third map choice between both teams. 06:45:48.780 --> 06:45:51.540 Another new extension done by Five Fears. 06:45:51.540 --> 06:45:56.100 They also have extra info denial with the help of the Solis rather than a Mazi. 06:45:56.500 --> 06:46:00.780 And Wildcard, another aggressive composition we almost saw. 06:46:00.820 --> 06:46:02.020 No, we do have the Ying in play. 06:46:02.020 --> 06:46:03.820 I almost thought I got six picked off. 06:46:03.820 --> 06:46:04.900 We've got the Ying in play. 06:46:04.900 --> 06:46:06.700 Spiker is still on Blitz. 06:46:06.700 --> 06:46:09.060 Kansan's now rocking the Sens instead. 06:46:09.300 --> 06:46:13.500 Again, just emphasizing how important it is to get this plant down 06:46:13.500 --> 06:46:16.700 because the lack of successful conversions here from 5 Fears. 06:46:19.000 --> 06:46:24.800 And like I said, 5 Fears are now 0 for 11 in retakes. 06:46:26.100 --> 06:46:30.300 If that diffuser goes down, that's probably why Fenn's got so desperate to stop it. 06:46:30.300 --> 06:46:32.200 That's basically a death sentence. 06:46:32.300 --> 06:46:38.700 And JJ though, will give Kansan a death sentence at least in this round. 06:46:38.700 --> 06:46:43.660 he picks off the sends which was a major part of the execute we just saw. 06:46:46.280 --> 06:46:49.260 RAU's no longer being a threat in this round, but he's still the smoke grenade. 06:46:49.260 --> 06:46:50.620 It's no warden in play. 06:46:50.620 --> 06:46:54.000 Could make things complicated, but the round might just be over before it started. 06:46:54.000 --> 06:46:56.760 Forreston's snake just getting crazy with it. 06:46:56.760 --> 06:47:02.800 Forreston's just sitting by the van, spiker at least trades, but it took a lot of his HP. 06:47:02.800 --> 06:47:07.480 It's a 4 versus 2 now, five fears in a dominant performance. 06:47:07.480 --> 06:47:12.160 For round number nine, it's Baby Shark and Spiker downstairs. 06:47:12.160 --> 06:47:15.360 Maybe looking just to creep their way up a staircase 06:47:15.360 --> 06:47:16.760 and kind of hope for the best here, 06:47:16.760 --> 06:47:20.240 but Wildcard had such a dominant lead in the second half. 06:47:20.240 --> 06:47:22.440 I'm sure it won't be that big of an upset for them 06:47:22.440 --> 06:47:26.400 to lose this round if Five Peers keep their advantage 06:47:26.400 --> 06:47:28.200 with a minute 30 left to go. 06:47:28.200 --> 06:47:30.880 Everyone from Five Peers playing rather close to each other. 06:47:30.880 --> 06:47:34.080 They want to keep that trade system alive and kicking 06:47:34.080 --> 06:47:36.360 to make sure if someone from Wildcard gets a pick, 06:47:36.360 --> 06:47:40.920 It's almost immediately fought back by five fears, especially up against a shield. 06:47:40.920 --> 06:47:43.360 It's really hard to take multiple engagements at one time. 06:47:43.360 --> 06:47:48.960 If you're forced to ADS with that pistol, Spike, you're going to take a moment to drone spots, 06:47:48.960 --> 06:47:56.040 Fens, lying in weight and a, I believe also saw Snake in the hallway, cuts off one rotation. 06:47:56.040 --> 06:47:59.960 But through the smoke, Fens domes him just following those tracers. 06:48:00.160 --> 06:48:05.760 JJ shore goes down to baby shark, but there's still three more to find and he won't get another five 06:48:05.760 --> 06:48:08.260 fears survive, at least for another round. 06:48:11.260 --> 06:48:14.100 Wildcard, I imagine not too upset about that round loss. 06:48:14.100 --> 06:48:18.100 Five fears, doing a good job of at least denying the initial 06:48:18.100 --> 06:48:19.740 setup from Wildcard. 06:48:19.740 --> 06:48:23.620 Again, three-fifths of their lineup was strictly for the 06:48:23.620 --> 06:48:24.180 execute. 06:48:24.180 --> 06:48:26.540 They wanted the Blitz to make space and cause chaos. 06:48:26.540 --> 06:48:29.940 They wanted the Yan Candela's to blind and smoke off key 06:48:29.940 --> 06:48:33.060 positions, the Sen's doing exactly the same thing with 06:48:33.060 --> 06:48:38.700 those ROU, so they wanted to make enough space to get down to plant and play for a potential 06:48:38.700 --> 06:48:43.900 retake by 5 Fears and with a run out from Forest and Snake happening almost back to 06:48:43.900 --> 06:48:49.100 back in tandem, netting 3 different kills, that is completely out of the ballpark. 06:48:49.100 --> 06:48:54.260 Those were two very interesting bands though, between Wildcard and 5 Fears. 06:48:54.260 --> 06:48:58.340 Solas picked out for Wildcard, again a lot of that information and intel denial against 06:48:58.340 --> 06:49:04.380 Drones is now gone for a bomb site like bar and cocktail so it can also play down below and deny 06:49:04.380 --> 06:49:11.740 I think like every plant position maybe it's like yeah, yeah, can you still plant on the long like bar top? 06:49:11.740 --> 06:49:17.700 Yeah, you can bar you can but you can still see like anyone's body the bars a little too thin to be covered from down below 06:49:18.220 --> 06:49:23.880 Not only that the nomad band has welcomed five fears maybe trying to enable a better 06:49:23.880 --> 06:49:28.080 are flank potential because they haven't been clashed yet. 06:49:28.080 --> 06:49:31.680 So the only thing I could really see is maybe, you know, forcing a gridlock of flank watch 06:49:31.680 --> 06:49:35.920 or having practically no flank watch at all, which we've seen five fears gone for a lot 06:49:35.920 --> 06:49:38.000 of flanks here in this second half. 06:49:38.000 --> 06:49:43.440 Yeah, I think it's just to keep the fluidity of the defense alive so that they can feel 06:49:43.440 --> 06:49:46.800 free to rotate wherever they want, run out whenever they want, right? 06:49:46.800 --> 06:49:51.000 Because that last round, you mentioned Wildtron not being too upset about it. 06:49:51.000 --> 06:49:52.560 That was five fears getting a little crazy. 06:49:52.560 --> 06:49:55.120 They were getting a little wicked, some might say. 06:49:55.120 --> 06:49:58.560 Stands it out again. 06:49:58.560 --> 06:49:59.560 Even wicketer. 06:49:59.560 --> 06:50:01.560 Is that even a word? 06:50:01.560 --> 06:50:02.560 No. 06:50:02.560 --> 06:50:07.680 He hears the rappel and he's just waiting for something. 06:50:07.680 --> 06:50:10.800 And Forrest of course extended all the way towards P.A. with Cigar, the Forrest does 06:50:10.800 --> 06:50:11.800 fall back. 06:50:11.800 --> 06:50:13.320 JJ can support with these mirror windows. 06:50:13.320 --> 06:50:17.440 They've also got the Aruni game outside of the mirror just to protect it from anything 06:50:17.440 --> 06:50:19.960 like a Hibana or an Ash. 06:50:19.960 --> 06:50:22.400 Someone who can shoot some kind of utility. 06:50:22.400 --> 06:50:27.840 is the Hibana, so Kansan will likely have to deal with that before he can open the mirror windows, 06:50:27.840 --> 06:50:31.040 which is not the biggest deal in the world because you can just, you know, use the tool, 06:50:31.760 --> 06:50:39.200 open it, and then go about your day. Interesting too that Five Fears opt to go for, uh, top floor. 06:50:39.200 --> 06:50:42.880 Their rotation has been kitchen mining bar instead of going reading. 06:50:44.160 --> 06:50:49.200 It is to throw Wild Card off guard. There's another entry now for JJ. Baby Shark gone. That's your 06:50:49.200 --> 06:50:52.360 your ying and a nitro cell to get rid of hot and cold. 06:50:52.360 --> 06:50:53.880 A lot of your info off the board. 06:50:53.880 --> 06:50:57.680 And again, that key operator to make space for a plant 06:50:57.680 --> 06:51:01.360 is gone with those candelas removed from Baby Shark. 06:51:01.360 --> 06:51:04.000 You still have Grim Canisters and the Snake Scanner as well 06:51:04.000 --> 06:51:05.560 to at least provide extra information. 06:51:05.560 --> 06:51:08.040 But two bodies up for five fears once again. 06:51:08.040 --> 06:51:10.480 All they have to do is play the buddy system. 06:51:10.480 --> 06:51:14.920 They've got four people over on White Hall slash Freezer. 06:51:14.920 --> 06:51:17.320 They are trying to guarantee as much as possible 06:51:17.320 --> 06:51:21.560 they can play for a trade game again just trying to slowly add up this round count. 06:51:23.320 --> 06:51:30.120 Losing your ying this early certainly going to hurt JJ the IGL stepping in and stepping up for his 06:51:30.120 --> 06:51:37.160 team. Not quite sure how wildcard I'm going to break in now unless Five Fears start giving up 06:51:37.160 --> 06:51:43.720 their lives. JJ kind of overextends in bathroom overstays his welcome and gives his life up. 06:51:43.720 --> 06:51:52.720 Snake, of course, down below will ping his C4 and wait for a call from the rest of the team, but Fens dies to a Nade, and Wildcourt are starting to push deep into Freezer. 06:51:52.720 --> 06:51:58.720 Bay and Kanz are in a very forward position, Spiker waiting for his team to make enough space for him to get this plant down. 06:51:58.720 --> 06:52:05.720 There's the C4, denying that entry, so does Rival, and now it's all on Kanz and he flips around to kill 4 as takes out 1. 06:52:05.720 --> 06:52:10.720 Snake and Rival now both low, and they're just going to try and play for this plant attempt. 06:52:10.720 --> 06:52:15.000 No rival rotates around towards long bar and five fears are strung together to in a row 06:52:15.560 --> 06:52:17.960 Again JJ on the initial entry pick 06:52:18.400 --> 06:52:20.400 Killing one of the most important 06:52:20.520 --> 06:52:27.680 Operators for a post plant attempt and that's baby shark off of the ying a nitro cell kill to follow suit on the one of your info 06:52:27.680 --> 06:52:32.440 Ops a lion hot and cold is now dead and I love this time out as well from wild card 06:52:32.440 --> 06:52:37.040 You just lost two rounds back to back five fears are gaining their momentum on the defense 06:52:37.040 --> 06:52:43.320 and you're trying to stop that before you give away any more rounds to potentially have to look at max regulation 06:52:43.440 --> 06:52:45.440 six to five 06:52:48.740 --> 06:52:52.360 Yeah, again a good idea for wild card to take this time out 06:52:52.360 --> 06:52:56.280 They've still got a little bit of a buffer between them and overtime 06:52:56.280 --> 06:53:02.800 This is also the first time this entire map that five fears have gotten two rounds in a row 06:53:02.800 --> 06:53:12.300 As far as what Wildcard are talking about, I imagine Lagonas is probably just hammering into Wildcard's head 06:53:12.300 --> 06:53:19.300 that five fears will get crazy on this map. We've seen it the past couple rounds. They're running out. 06:53:19.300 --> 06:53:26.300 They're peeking Wildcard as they enter the building. Wildcard need to be ready at basically every step of the way 06:53:26.300 --> 06:53:31.300 for someone to shove their face at an angle like JJ did, like Rival did. 06:53:32.800 --> 06:53:40.280 Five fears now rotating down stairs once again 06:53:42.360 --> 06:53:44.360 This is the first play 06:53:45.400 --> 06:53:51.080 Our sorry the second play of reading rooms since round number seven since besides swapped 06:53:51.600 --> 06:53:54.120 Where wild cards top floor hold? 06:53:54.680 --> 06:54:01.200 Was not ideal they started out the round with two kills in a row five fears kind of with a 06:54:01.200 --> 06:54:06.700 a different lineup. They're bringing the Goyo, the Oruity, the Thorn, so it's a little bit more trap-heavy 06:54:07.480 --> 06:54:11.360 than it was in the previous attempt when they had the Mute and the Mazi in the Sentry 06:54:11.520 --> 06:54:16.920 kind of leaning more into that Info denial. They've still got the Mazi, but I think that they're attempting to 06:54:17.580 --> 06:54:19.580 probably if they're gonna keep the same place file 06:54:20.480 --> 06:54:26.400 try to meet Wildcard where they enter and then once they feel the pressure is too much they can fall back behind those traps. 06:54:26.400 --> 06:54:32.480 Again, that early round aggression from Five Fears, they could have the spawn peak near 06:54:32.480 --> 06:54:38.600 Garage and Forest waiting just under the hell doorway for a potential run out. 06:54:38.600 --> 06:54:43.480 Doesn't seem to net anything, however, Wildcard looking for that default top to bottom clear. 06:54:43.480 --> 06:54:48.560 They've got tons of verticality with that Sledgehammer brought by Kansan, Baby Shark 06:54:48.560 --> 06:54:53.480 as well, running Deimos, tons of information on the Deathmark trackers, and that soft flooring 06:54:53.480 --> 06:54:57.280 to get a couple of picks on the Reading Room bomb site. 06:54:57.280 --> 06:55:00.520 Forced, maybe flirting with the idea of overpeaking 06:55:00.520 --> 06:55:03.000 from the AC window, looking for a cheeky kill on someone 06:55:03.000 --> 06:55:05.280 going up on the default repel, but again, 06:55:05.280 --> 06:55:10.080 doesn't net out anything for either team just yet. 06:55:10.080 --> 06:55:12.320 Interested in seeing if Wildcard want to utilize some 06:55:12.320 --> 06:55:15.120 of these grim canisters early and off the back of four 06:55:15.120 --> 06:55:17.880 different sets of frag grenades to help clear the initial 06:55:17.880 --> 06:55:20.520 extension up top to then get that vert down 06:55:20.520 --> 06:55:21.560 at a decent time frame. 06:55:21.560 --> 06:55:26.520 Again, the pacing of Wildcard in their initial second half was fantastic. 06:55:26.520 --> 06:55:31.160 Only until Five Fears secured those early entries were they able to have impact in these defensive rounds. 06:55:31.160 --> 06:55:36.680 But for a third time Harrison in a row, Five Fears have found an uncontested entry kill. 06:55:36.680 --> 06:55:40.120 These opening picks have been crucial for Five Fears in the last couple rounds. 06:55:40.120 --> 06:55:45.960 They started on the hot and cold and with that kill, they back off from the top floor. 06:55:45.960 --> 06:55:50.920 Now the only person really there is Fens placed on White, but even then he's on lower white. 06:55:50.920 --> 06:55:53.480 I thought he was on upper, read the silhouette wrong. 06:55:53.480 --> 06:55:55.400 Five Fears have completely abandoned that top floor, 06:55:55.400 --> 06:55:56.320 saying, all right, you know what? 06:55:56.320 --> 06:55:57.600 We got the kill. 06:55:57.600 --> 06:55:59.680 We've wasted more than half the round. 06:55:59.680 --> 06:56:03.520 Now let's go back and fall on our strength, anchoring 06:56:03.520 --> 06:56:06.960 and playing around each other around that bomb site. 06:56:06.960 --> 06:56:09.520 Wildcard though, do still have the sledge alive 06:56:09.520 --> 06:56:11.400 so Kansan can go and work first, 06:56:11.400 --> 06:56:13.560 open up these angles, force the defenders 06:56:13.560 --> 06:56:14.760 out of these power spots. 06:56:14.760 --> 06:56:16.760 And you've also got Bae for once that execute 06:56:16.760 --> 06:56:19.320 starts to come through, the center to be instrumental 06:56:19.320 --> 06:56:22.200 and isolating those sight lines that Five Fears would like to hold, 06:56:22.200 --> 06:56:24.520 and also preventing that trade battle. 06:56:24.520 --> 06:56:26.480 Again, it'll all come down to this plant, 06:56:26.480 --> 06:56:29.800 and Wildcard still having the right tools to set up for it. 06:56:29.800 --> 06:56:33.000 You've got the vert still being established by cans and upstairs. 06:56:33.000 --> 06:56:37.040 Grim canisters, several of them in play for Spiker with that diffuser. 06:56:37.040 --> 06:56:40.480 And like you mentioned, Baze, all of your projectors cutting off 06:56:40.480 --> 06:56:44.640 those long lines of sight Five Fears could use to work for picks 06:56:44.640 --> 06:56:47.720 in a five versus four, 30 seconds left to go. 06:56:47.720 --> 06:56:51.720 and still Wildcard continuing to set up in this top floor, 06:56:51.720 --> 06:56:53.960 working their way down below and the rest of Five Fears 06:56:53.960 --> 06:56:56.600 continuing to wait, hoping they can get a trade. 06:56:56.600 --> 06:56:59.200 But look at Snake, he's over by Red Stairs. 06:56:59.200 --> 06:57:01.480 He might be able to go for a flank and I'm not too sure 06:57:01.480 --> 06:57:03.240 if Wildcard would be prepared for that. 06:57:03.240 --> 06:57:05.760 JJ instead just pushes out of the bomb site, 06:57:05.760 --> 06:57:07.360 is good for one and his baby shark 06:57:07.360 --> 06:57:09.320 tries to get into the bomb site. 06:57:09.320 --> 06:57:10.440 He gets traded out by four. 06:57:10.440 --> 06:57:12.000 I see here's the position from the Mozzie Snake 06:57:12.000 --> 06:57:13.640 finally getting his kill, Kansan. 06:57:13.640 --> 06:57:15.000 He's got to worry about two different people 06:57:15.000 --> 06:57:16.480 and Rival shuts him down. 06:57:16.480 --> 06:57:20.720 Five Fears are mounting a comeback! We're one away from OT! 06:57:20.720 --> 06:57:25.760 Again, a third entry kill in a row uncontested by Wildcard. 06:57:25.760 --> 06:57:31.840 It's the initial pick for Five Fears that allows them to fall off the roam extension early without 06:57:31.840 --> 06:57:37.120 being punished because Wildcard have to adjust where they're starting their clear from. It failed 06:57:37.120 --> 06:57:42.560 initially by Cocktail and White Hall, so they go back closer to red. They still get information on 06:57:42.560 --> 06:57:46.800 Humidor still get info by piano and bar then they can get the vert down 06:57:46.800 --> 06:57:54.560 This is spending so much time and resources to set up for the execute that even then because five fears played 06:57:54.800 --> 06:58:02.120 Incredibly aggressive towards the site doorway wildcard didn't have time to gather info about that factor gather proper vert above default 06:58:02.360 --> 06:58:09.220 Giving five years another point for the element of surprise a second one for one that just nearly got traded and all the while 06:58:09.220 --> 06:58:11.720 This is happening five years and ace up their sleeves 06:58:11.720 --> 06:58:16.960 We talked about the nomad van allowing for that fluidity allowing for the flanks allowing for the runouts 06:58:16.960 --> 06:58:23.500 That's exactly what snake does to guarantee wildcard do not have a chance of winning that round and here we have it Harrison 06:58:24.100 --> 06:58:26.600 max regulation five to six 06:58:27.080 --> 06:58:32.700 One more round secured for five years in a row and we're bound to see overtime on cafe 06:58:32.700 --> 06:58:36.980 And not only will they push it to overtime John, but they're the ones on the streak 06:58:36.980 --> 06:58:44.580 Momentum will be squarely in their back pocket. However, they do also start attack 06:58:44.980 --> 06:58:51.080 Should we need around 13? I also mentioned, you know, you mentioned the flank from 06:58:51.920 --> 06:58:55.340 Snake, I love what we saw earlier too because we saw him attempt the flank earlier 06:58:55.340 --> 06:59:02.820 And what he did was he shot the pot shot the drone then went downstairs for about 30 seconds and then reattempted the flank 06:59:02.820 --> 06:59:08.660 almost starts this round with a bang with that C4 and said it'll just be damage on the baby shark. 06:59:08.660 --> 06:59:12.980 And also we talked about right during the timeout where, I don't know if this is what Wildcard's coach, 06:59:12.980 --> 06:59:18.380 I don't know if this is what LeDonus was saying to Wildcard, but they need to be ready for 5 Fears to keep swinging. 06:59:18.380 --> 06:59:22.140 What do we see coming around? Rival swings top floor and everyone backs off. 06:59:22.140 --> 06:59:28.100 And then as Wildcard is setting up for the execute, they're getting vert now, whatever, JJ just walks out the snow guy. 06:59:28.100 --> 06:59:35.060 They wildcard have to be ready for 5-3 at any moment for someone on the defense to swing them. 06:59:36.560 --> 06:59:39.940 Well, Han Kold now enters the building from the hatch drop through red. 06:59:40.740 --> 06:59:45.940 His gridlock tracks providing a safety net for him as he continues to gather more information. 06:59:45.940 --> 06:59:51.760 We've got at least one player just around the corner by Chandelier, no nitrous over here for JJ, obviously. 06:59:51.760 --> 06:59:55.320 He's on the wrong operator for that, and just backs away. 06:59:55.320 --> 06:59:59.560 doesn't want to give himself to a potential one versus one who'll now join forces right next to 06:59:59.560 --> 07:00:05.560 forest. A majority of this roam now beginning to fall off, but Rival wants to get at least one or 07:00:05.560 --> 07:00:10.840 burn a couple more resources before doing so. However, with this montane again it provides 07:00:10.840 --> 07:00:15.720 a lot safer of a push from the top floor and because we're on mining room Harrison you don't 07:00:15.720 --> 07:00:20.760 technically have to clear out reading room. A lot of emphasis being put on red stairs alone. 07:00:20.760 --> 07:00:24.120 They might just try to plant from mining room but they would need to have someone covering from 07:00:24.120 --> 07:00:29.280 outside like Spiker to make sure there isn't a wraparound from the back reading hall close to the pillar 07:00:29.480 --> 07:00:35.960 You'll have to worry about rival who's starting to make his move in cocktail. He's repositioned 07:00:36.680 --> 07:00:40.120 But he might go for that push into piano if he does 07:00:40.120 --> 07:00:43.480 You'll have to worry about the vert. Chanson though is still outside 07:00:43.480 --> 07:00:48.840 I think on the rappel and here's the first fight of the round forest outdulls Bay on red stairs 07:00:48.840 --> 07:00:52.340 Income the smokes from the Monty, the Thorn, wins a second! 07:00:52.340 --> 07:00:55.840 Spiker, you have to hit those! They knew about him! 07:00:55.840 --> 07:00:58.840 And yet Forrest still wins the Disinventigious Fight! 07:00:58.840 --> 07:01:03.340 In comes Fens on the Mira, he's prone, he dies, but Forrest gets a third! 07:01:03.340 --> 07:01:06.140 Make it four for Roman! 07:01:06.140 --> 07:01:07.840 Oh my goodness! 07:01:07.840 --> 07:01:09.640 Off the back of the Thorn! 07:01:09.640 --> 07:01:12.340 Five fears push us to round thirteen! 07:01:13.340 --> 07:01:16.840 Welcome back to the game, Roman Barrow! 07:01:16.840 --> 07:01:32.840 What an impact play on the thorn, shutting down the vert denial, killing Spiker on a crucial cutoff angle, and adding insult to injury gets another two to seal overtime on cafe for five fears. 07:01:32.840 --> 07:01:37.840 What a round from the support player. That was incredible. 07:01:37.840 --> 07:01:43.720 But like you mentioned Harrison five fears on their weaker attack on their weaker half of attack 07:01:44.080 --> 07:01:48.400 It's two to four split is what we saw last time at the beginning of cafe 07:01:48.400 --> 07:01:49.880 And like you mentioned as well 07:01:49.880 --> 07:01:55.040 They're typically a five-to-one split team for their defensive side as well 07:01:55.040 --> 07:02:01.520 This is gonna be a potentially rough overtime split for them against wild card who at least at the beginning on defense 07:02:01.960 --> 07:02:03.960 Looked quite impressive 07:02:03.960 --> 07:02:09.260 I'm trying to look back at my notes to see if it was the initial, yeah they were practically 07:02:09.260 --> 07:02:15.540 flawless until round number four where five fears were able to spot a gap on this bonsai 07:02:15.540 --> 07:02:19.440 action of Reading Room to get a plant down. 07:02:19.440 --> 07:02:22.580 They're lined up though looking fairly different from the most part that could change, yeah 07:02:22.580 --> 07:02:26.340 JJ's now in the montagne maybe noticing that we're here on Reading Room. 07:02:26.340 --> 07:02:31.260 Wildcard as well, big emphasis on stall, they have the Mira again looking over towards 07:02:31.260 --> 07:02:38.660 Piano and the Kate electroclaw to also assist but five fears getting info on that also switch over on to the factor and having 07:02:39.460 --> 07:02:42.820 Ranged breach pardon of those a Selma charges 07:02:42.820 --> 07:02:49.180 They could still do a red overtake and deal with the mirror windows accordingly to at least get rid of some of those power spots early on 07:02:49.180 --> 07:02:53.540 But we'll have to wait and see if that's the initial play that five years want to go for as they also have 07:02:53.540 --> 07:02:56.980 Lion of Forrest now setting up towards the cocktail repel. 07:02:56.980 --> 07:03:00.500 And again, after that four round streak, 07:03:00.500 --> 07:03:05.060 five fears have the momentum squarely in their corner. 07:03:05.060 --> 07:03:06.980 Wildcard need to shut this down. 07:03:06.980 --> 07:03:10.180 I'm really surprised that they didn't go back to a site 07:03:10.180 --> 07:03:12.020 like either upstairs or kitchen 07:03:12.020 --> 07:03:15.860 because they had some really confident defenses there. 07:03:15.860 --> 07:03:18.980 Like you mentioned, this is one of the only sites 07:03:18.980 --> 07:03:20.980 that five fears were able to crack. 07:03:20.980 --> 07:03:28.340 It was there one and two here and then one and two on mining wild card, of course habitat floor extension 07:03:28.340 --> 07:03:30.900 It's Bay and baby shark as usual 07:03:30.900 --> 07:03:36.620 They've got the mirror setup upstairs cans and also playing by pallets by fears of the lion scan 07:03:37.300 --> 07:03:43.300 Dropping JJ now in through red hatch also. Yeah, I don't know why but they were EMPing 07:03:43.300 --> 07:03:46.980 I think maybe one of the foreign traps on the red hatch so that way they could make it through without any damage 07:03:46.980 --> 07:03:51.120 They're just going to swap to a red stairs push, opening the barricade, but hot and cold. 07:03:51.120 --> 07:03:53.440 Smokes rival off the pillar of pellets. 07:03:53.440 --> 07:03:56.680 Three unanswered kills for Wildcard. 07:03:56.680 --> 07:04:01.320 Five fears still unable to consistently crack these defenses. 07:04:01.320 --> 07:04:06.320 It's Fens and the hero from last round, Forrest in a 2v5. 07:04:07.840 --> 07:04:12.320 Wildcard, a near perfect denial of that rush. 07:04:12.320 --> 07:04:16.080 Through Reading Hall, another kill collected for the man who started this round. 07:04:16.080 --> 07:04:23.200 so flawlessly for his team it's ended as well the same way. After being forced into overtime, 07:04:23.200 --> 07:04:29.040 Wildcard immediately put their foot down, taking back the lead match point, but they've got to go 07:04:29.920 --> 07:04:35.200 back under the attacking half as well, where five fears also had four rounds in a row of 07:04:35.200 --> 07:04:42.400 successful defensive holds. They really again have to focus on not losing that entry fight. Wildcard 07:04:42.400 --> 07:04:46.400 have been so slow at recovering after they've lost that initial entry. 07:04:46.400 --> 07:04:52.000 The lack of trades as well has been a major impact for their attacks. 07:04:52.900 --> 07:04:56.600 It'll be fireplace and mining covered over right now for five fears. 07:04:56.600 --> 07:04:59.300 Their lineup, this is, I believe, 07:04:59.300 --> 07:05:02.800 identical to what they just played for round number 12. 07:05:03.800 --> 07:05:05.460 It is. Yeah, it is identical. 07:05:05.460 --> 07:05:07.000 It's I mean, hey, they broke the fixer. 07:05:07.000 --> 07:05:11.000 Mining is also the only site that five fears played 07:05:11.000 --> 07:05:16.280 multiple times and one both times so if there's any time that they're gonna 07:05:16.280 --> 07:05:22.340 re-grab that momentum and force us to around 15 it is right here we'll see if 07:05:22.340 --> 07:05:26.500 they have a similar setup where they play a bunch of utility the mirrors on 07:05:26.500 --> 07:05:31.880 the top floor rival in cocktail and then very quickly fall back once wild card 07:05:31.880 --> 07:05:38.240 start to drone their way in wild card also so far with the exact same lineup 07:05:38.240 --> 07:05:41.760 as they brought on that fateful round 12. 07:05:42.760 --> 07:05:43.880 There's no repicks. 07:05:43.880 --> 07:05:47.120 So once again, they'll have the gridlock to try and lock down the flanks. 07:05:47.120 --> 07:05:52.520 They'll have the ram to attempt to create all the furt over piano and over mining. 07:05:52.520 --> 07:05:54.160 And actually, I lied at the last second. 07:05:54.160 --> 07:05:59.440 The spider could swap off of a Grim onto the Twitch, 07:05:59.440 --> 07:06:04.480 likely to deal with the Mira and the Goyo a lot more easily. 07:06:04.480 --> 07:06:12.280 In those Vulcan packs, also made the potential for trades very challenging after Forrest 07:06:12.280 --> 07:06:17.280 won those first two picks over by bottom red again, killing Bay as he was trying to stop 07:06:17.280 --> 07:06:23.480 any vert for plant denial, spiker playing outside of that, black top balcony looking 07:06:23.480 --> 07:06:28.400 over through the red hallway into that chandelier location and pillar. 07:06:28.400 --> 07:06:32.000 Forrest once again maybe looking for an early entry this time on the top floor and Snake 07:06:32.000 --> 07:06:37.880 as well. Holding the red hatch-drop, maybe using a nitro cell, it felt necessary too. 07:06:37.880 --> 07:06:43.800 Kansan, ton of damage done, his force went for a run-up, but the Claymore claimed him! 07:06:43.800 --> 07:06:48.720 By the skin of his teeth he'll live, Kansan still being alive to tell the tale, and the 07:06:48.720 --> 07:06:54.800 hero of round 12 is only left up to fairy tales as he's gone! 07:06:54.800 --> 07:07:01.160 He wasn't able to deal enough damage to Kansan before the drop forced him out of ADS, that 07:07:01.160 --> 07:07:06.760 is tragic for Forrest. He likely knew that it was going to be a one-for-one either way, 07:07:06.760 --> 07:07:12.460 but not getting that kill is huge for Wildcard's chances here in this round. They keep not only 07:07:12.460 --> 07:07:17.180 the man count, but also their Hibana, who's going to be responsible for opening those 07:07:17.180 --> 07:07:22.000 sight lines upstairs, maybe even opening the sight lines into mining. Bay taking a little 07:07:22.000 --> 07:07:27.020 bit of damage from the thorn trap placed in Cigar. We'll see if 5 Fears decide to make 07:07:27.020 --> 07:07:30.860 move to try and get a pick back but no instead they'll completely fall off the 07:07:30.860 --> 07:07:37.420 top floor now the vertical can begin to go down off these boogie drones hot and 07:07:37.420 --> 07:07:41.300 cold also beginning to push up as well potentially for that plant once the 07:07:41.300 --> 07:07:45.500 exkairos charges go off his hands and still alive do his job as the primary 07:07:45.500 --> 07:07:50.180 breacher 50 seconds left for wildcard to kick start this execute 07:07:50.180 --> 07:07:54.740 fences now rotated down below however maybe prepared setting up some burn 07:07:54.740 --> 07:07:57.660 and having that Nitro Cell at the ready to stop an initial plant. 07:07:57.660 --> 07:07:59.780 Even looking all the way through this top floor, 07:07:59.780 --> 07:08:01.380 because of the boogie drones, 07:08:01.380 --> 07:08:04.620 he can see up at the piano and might look for a cheeky kill 07:08:04.620 --> 07:08:06.660 before the drop eventually begins. 07:08:06.660 --> 07:08:08.180 He spots Hot and Cold now alone. 07:08:08.180 --> 07:08:10.380 The Nitro Cell goes off, but it misses, 07:08:10.380 --> 07:08:12.020 and now Hot and Cold is officially in a site, 07:08:12.020 --> 07:08:13.700 but he's completely by himself. 07:08:13.700 --> 07:08:15.580 He's made his way deep into A. 07:08:15.580 --> 07:08:18.820 Off-screen, Rival had evened the man count with the kill 07:08:18.820 --> 07:08:22.900 onto Kansan, one of the best players from Wildcard. 07:08:22.900 --> 07:08:24.500 Rival spotting the Monty before his angle 07:08:24.500 --> 07:08:31.900 Smoked off hot and cold is getting so much good information also spotting fends on why JJ dies to the vert as he attempts to retake trade 07:08:31.900 --> 07:08:38.100 Upcome spiker the mirror has absolutely no idea snake with a kill make it to on the baby shark and bevo 07:08:38.100 --> 07:08:44.940 Those are both the players upstairs and piano and now there's only four seconds left as the defense has retaken in the train 07:08:45.180 --> 07:08:50.020 Spiker is isolated on white and five years bring the round back a 07:08:51.940 --> 07:08:53.940 Massive play for snake 07:08:53.940 --> 07:08:59.240 Keeping his team alive and rival to follow suit, sandwiching the Montaigne. 07:08:59.740 --> 07:09:03.840 But they have to go back to attack once again. 07:09:03.840 --> 07:09:10.440 We saw the immediate struggle from them going into round number 13, trying to spot a gap towards mining room. 07:09:10.440 --> 07:09:13.940 And it being unsuccessful, hot and cold finds the entry. 07:09:13.940 --> 07:09:21.840 His team follows suit on the split and immediately both IGLs communicating as much as they can. 07:09:21.840 --> 07:09:28.320 The final bombsite in play for map number two will be fireplace and mining room a bombsite that 07:09:29.040 --> 07:09:35.920 for the most part five years again have struggled with so many times that first round we saw it in 07:09:35.920 --> 07:09:42.320 play baby shark had the entry onto forest there was so much time wasted by utility of those nitrous 07:09:42.320 --> 07:09:48.080 elves which there are several of in play once again for wildcard and the thorn this time being 07:09:48.080 --> 07:09:52.800 played though by Bay rather than baby shark who initially had that operator selected at the 07:09:52.800 --> 07:09:58.560 beginning of the first half. Five Fears once again maybe opting just to go for the shield pick of 07:09:58.560 --> 07:10:04.880 Montaigne to gather extra information and try to make space but only a handful of times I feel like 07:10:04.880 --> 07:10:10.400 it's worked out for them. Wildcard have been extremely successful at counteracting the shield 07:10:10.400 --> 07:10:15.760 play by Five Fears and yeah it makes a lot of sense then the last second Five Fears will change 07:10:15.760 --> 07:10:22.240 course and instead have JJ on the Habana, an active gun with either the Type 89 or that two-shot DMR 07:10:22.240 --> 07:10:28.240 and more ranged heart breach to try and counter the Mira, but unlike the last round we saw from 07:10:28.240 --> 07:10:35.040 Five Fears' attack, there's no EMPs in play by a Thatcher or Pocket EMPs. You mentioned Five Fears 07:10:35.040 --> 07:10:42.400 really struggled with this site in round two, but also the very last round of that first half 07:10:42.400 --> 07:10:46.700 that they were successful on was also a mining attack. 07:10:46.700 --> 07:10:49.900 Now, this defensive lineup is much closer to the one they brought in Round 2, 07:10:49.900 --> 07:10:54.900 with the exception of the Mazi being dropped in favor of the Tuberow from Hot and Cold, 07:10:54.900 --> 07:10:57.900 who can work to delay the breach from JJ, 07:10:57.900 --> 07:11:01.200 as Rival gets incredibly lit up and now finished by Bay on the run out, though. 07:11:01.200 --> 07:11:04.300 He's instantly- you're sorry, Snake dies. 07:11:04.300 --> 07:11:09.000 Rival is the one who takes damage, but he does get the instant refrag. 07:11:09.000 --> 07:11:15.160 So it ends up being a one-for-one HP advantage for Wildcard, and you've lost Snake on the Snake, 07:11:15.160 --> 07:11:20.520 so that's a lot of information now gone, and you've probably also lost your primary Lurker, 07:11:20.520 --> 07:11:24.600 so either Five Fears have no Lurk, or someone else is gonna have to do it. 07:11:24.600 --> 07:11:28.360 I think that someone else was gonna be forced, but he dies to Baby Shark on the Vert. 07:11:29.000 --> 07:11:32.600 Another runout attempted here from Spike, with the help of those two Browsotos, 07:11:32.600 --> 07:11:36.520 to freeze off the Claymore, but no one's left on this Repel. 07:11:36.520 --> 07:11:40.840 Cut off being attempted towards red, but nothing found just yet beautiful shot 07:11:40.840 --> 07:11:44.640 from Kansan just slipping past everyone heading back into piano fends 07:11:44.640 --> 07:11:49.720 completely unaware about this and wildcard just two kills away from 07:11:49.720 --> 07:11:53.160 bringing us to clubhouse here so the less five fears for a second round in a 07:11:53.160 --> 07:11:57.880 row can clutch this out and now it's just rival left the top of skylight with 07:11:57.880 --> 07:12:02.360 no one left to help him. Five fears really dropping the ball here on what 07:12:02.360 --> 07:12:10.200 Could be the final round the run out from Bay going one for one no info on the vert held by baby shark 07:12:10.840 --> 07:12:16.520 Kansan slipping into red and wild card prevent the five fears come back 07:12:16.520 --> 07:12:21.000 They put their foot down in round 15 and we will see clubhouse 07:12:22.360 --> 07:12:24.760 A little too close for comfort there for wild card 07:12:24.760 --> 07:12:27.720 But a win is a win at the end of the day and baby shark 07:12:27.720 --> 07:12:30.840 Maybe a little too excited stuff this foot there, but I'm sure he'll be 07:12:30.840 --> 07:12:35.520 job-sure he'll be just fine. Great recovery there from Wildcard and Overtime. 07:12:35.520 --> 07:12:39.240 We'll send us to a quick little break and return for the decider map of Clubhouse 07:12:39.240 --> 07:12:43.320 in just a few minutes. Don't go anywhere. 07:19:27.720 --> 07:19:39.880 Welcome back for the thrilling conclusion of Five Fears vs. Wildcard. 07:19:39.880 --> 07:19:46.840 Our final Swiss game is quite the NA derby despite a comeback attempt from Five Fears 07:19:46.840 --> 07:19:51.320 and the best efforts of Forest, Wildcard still come away 8-7. 07:19:51.320 --> 07:19:55.480 By the skin of their teeth they bring us onto Clubhouse where previously they played Dark 07:19:55.480 --> 07:20:02.120 0 here yesterday and weren't that successful losing 7-3 if not 7-4 I believe it was, what 07:20:02.120 --> 07:20:08.140 4 rounds in a row being successful for Dark Zero, kind of similar role we had for both 07:20:08.140 --> 07:20:13.820 teams actually on Cafe and Chalet for their respective map picks today, a much better 07:20:13.820 --> 07:20:16.300 show of team play by Wildcard. 07:20:16.300 --> 07:20:20.100 Several people in double digits, we had a lot of great rounds from Kansan in the middle 07:20:20.100 --> 07:20:26.580 late position baby shark came out of the gate swinging with that 3k back on round number was either one or two 07:20:26.580 --> 07:20:30.780 I believe was round number one where he got the three count thorn one and still yeah 07:20:30.780 --> 07:20:39.200 And then he ended up getting the initial entry in the same rat spot that we had initially the only person really fighting back effectively was rival 07:20:39.200 --> 07:20:43.900 If we're excluding that forest 4k to secure over time 07:20:43.900 --> 07:20:49.980 So hopefully for five years a little more composure a little more synergy going on to our decider pick 07:20:50.100 --> 07:20:56.100 But no matter what Harrison, I feel like it's a win because we're gonna have a third North American team making it 07:20:56.740 --> 07:21:01.340 Into phase three and if it's one of these two teams making it I go in bald 07:21:01.340 --> 07:21:06.420 So check it to have a laugh and if not I keep my hair and it's a massive weight 07:21:06.540 --> 07:21:08.540 I've taken off my chest 07:21:08.660 --> 07:21:11.340 Harrison, what are your initial thoughts for clubhouse going into this? 07:21:11.340 --> 07:21:13.900 So like you mentioned wildcard did just lose this man 07:21:13.900 --> 07:21:19.900 They actually beat DZ here in the NAL kickoff and then lost it more recently in the Major. 07:21:19.900 --> 07:21:23.200 Five Fears don't play this map a whole lot. 07:21:23.200 --> 07:21:26.500 Their only really recent play was also in kickoff. 07:21:26.500 --> 07:21:30.400 They beat 1 of 30 here in Math's overtime. 07:21:30.400 --> 07:21:40.400 But I think, I'm trying to remember, I'm pretty sure that this was also the same map that Bino disconnected for like three or four rounds. 07:21:40.400 --> 07:21:43.200 And they still got brought to overtime. 07:21:43.200 --> 07:21:48.040 So, good and bad, I guess, for both teams here on Clubhouse, 07:21:48.040 --> 07:21:52.720 the most default map in the pool, and what better way to end a game 07:21:52.720 --> 07:21:57.120 than on a map where your fundamentals are really what make or break you. 07:21:59.400 --> 07:22:05.720 The biggest thing for fundamentals by far for wild card was just the lack of trades in a lot of cafe, 07:22:05.720 --> 07:22:08.520 but great information, I have to say. 07:22:08.520 --> 07:22:13.280 Again, on their defense, they were picking out where Five Fears began their attack. 07:22:13.280 --> 07:22:18.280 Who's vulnerable for that opening gunfight? Which corner can I hide behind that's been mis-droned? 07:22:19.120 --> 07:22:22.120 And even the adjustments when the plant was being attempted as well. 07:22:22.120 --> 07:22:25.880 I believe Five Fears were still able to get some plants down back at map number two, 07:22:25.880 --> 07:22:30.080 but significantly less to what we had going on through Chalet. 07:22:30.080 --> 07:22:33.680 An immediate clash pick from JJ as well. 07:22:33.680 --> 07:22:39.920 an operator that we have not seen at all from app one or two, I believe, now being locked 07:22:39.920 --> 07:22:44.240 in as the first pick here for five fears on their basement defense, probably screaming 07:22:44.240 --> 07:22:46.400 that they want to have a heavy anchor down below. 07:22:46.400 --> 07:22:51.400 You can still of course roam upstairs to waste time and resources, but you've got the denari. 07:22:51.400 --> 07:22:56.000 A lot of those tripwires can be used just to stop the initial push from wildcard. 07:22:56.000 --> 07:23:02.320 The warden as well denying smokes, which one of those two smoke operators of Capitao is 07:23:02.320 --> 07:23:07.480 also gone banned by five fears and even a nomad also being taken off the board. 07:23:07.480 --> 07:23:11.320 I feel like nomads is an interesting ban for clubhouse, dude, 07:23:11.320 --> 07:23:12.480 starting to have to be mauling. 07:23:13.980 --> 07:23:15.920 Yeah, it's an odd ban here. 07:23:15.920 --> 07:23:21.520 I mean, she has been played, I won't say often, but it's not a super, 07:23:21.520 --> 07:23:22.720 super rare occurrence. 07:23:22.720 --> 07:23:26.620 And I think especially with how Wildcard we're trying to shut down the 07:23:26.620 --> 07:23:30.420 fluidity and the rotatability of five fears on that second map, 07:23:30.420 --> 07:23:36.420 The banning the Nomad definitely makes sense against Clubhouse is very staircase heavy so Nomad can shut down those rotations. 07:23:36.420 --> 07:23:41.420 Snake waiting here with a C4 will send it out, but it will go fully wide. 07:23:41.420 --> 07:23:44.420 Kansan completely avoids any and all damage. 07:23:44.420 --> 07:23:48.420 Of course, like you had mentioned, there is really no roam here for five fears. 07:23:48.420 --> 07:23:51.420 The closest player being JJ who's just playing on main. 07:23:51.420 --> 07:23:59.420 He's just trying to see if the push ends up coming through bar and just calling out whether or not this is going to be mainly like a blue and dirt focused execute. 07:24:00.420 --> 07:24:05.440 Depending on the resources as well, it could be very challenging to clear Clash from the 07:24:05.440 --> 07:24:09.120 stairs, could waste a lot of time, even if Clash were to die. 07:24:09.120 --> 07:24:12.960 If that's a commitment there for two to two and a half minutes burned away, then that 07:24:12.960 --> 07:24:14.280 death is honestly worth it. 07:24:14.280 --> 07:24:16.520 That's a great sacrificial lamb. 07:24:16.520 --> 07:24:20.240 Speaking of which, if for time at least a minute has been taken off the clock for wild 07:24:20.240 --> 07:24:24.820 cards as they do this top to bottom, clear Baby Shark off that skeleton keyvert will 07:24:24.820 --> 07:24:29.040 that's hacked the clash already twice to establish this cutoff but Fens is 07:24:29.040 --> 07:24:35.000 waiting for it incredible game sense from Fens and JJ spotting the buck 07:24:35.000 --> 07:24:40.200 early and expecting the vert to go down obviously your skeleton key deployed you 07:24:40.200 --> 07:24:44.840 don't have your rifle at the ready so that gives Fens an easy one for one yeah 07:24:44.840 --> 07:24:47.720 I mean and that's how you try and counter the clash on the main stairs right 07:24:47.720 --> 07:24:51.280 you make the vert and you force her to fall back and then her back is going to 07:24:51.280 --> 07:24:56.480 exposed at some point. Beautiful read from Five Fears knowing that wild card. We're basically 07:24:56.480 --> 07:25:01.360 gonna do what you're supposed to do, but then they have Fens swinging off of it. You also saw 07:25:01.360 --> 07:25:06.240 the tripwires being established above the Moto hatch, and there's a network there, so that's 07:25:06.240 --> 07:25:11.920 pretty much gonna be impossible for wild card to drop unless they have EMPs, which they do not. 07:25:11.920 --> 07:25:17.760 Spike are also getting lit up by kitchen, by that hatch. Where do wild card decide to end? 07:25:17.760 --> 07:25:21.160 There's trips basically everywhere by Blue and Modo. 07:25:21.160 --> 07:25:25.360 Some of those trips Blue do get dealt with by the Nade thanks to Kanzan, 07:25:25.360 --> 07:25:27.160 but there's still plenty of bodies in and around Blue. 07:25:27.160 --> 07:25:29.160 Look at that, Snakeforth and Rival all stacked up. 07:25:29.160 --> 07:25:30.560 Hot cold! He's gonna try and drop. 07:25:30.560 --> 07:25:32.960 He kills Forrest. He's very quickly felled though. 07:25:32.960 --> 07:25:36.160 Beigo's 1 for 1 and the man advantage falls away. 07:25:36.160 --> 07:25:37.360 We're tied at 2 apiece. 07:25:37.360 --> 07:25:38.960 Spiker getting the plant down. 07:25:38.960 --> 07:25:42.560 Kanzan watching Long catches JJ in the rotate 07:25:42.560 --> 07:25:45.760 as he just completely ignores Box 2. 07:25:45.760 --> 07:25:52.760 Fenz now the last player standing. He had the opening pick. He'll have to get the last two if he wants to win this one. 07:25:52.760 --> 07:25:57.760 Luckily for him, both players are downstairs. He doesn't have to retake Furt. He kills Spiker. 07:25:57.760 --> 07:26:03.760 But in the meantime, Kanzin has retaken above, so this open hatch is going to be Fenz's worst enemy. 07:26:03.760 --> 07:26:07.760 He'll need a fourth kill, and he's just going to try and long arm behind the box. 07:26:07.760 --> 07:26:11.760 But of course, the angle for Kanzin will still be very easily found. 07:26:11.760 --> 07:26:15.820 Despite the three kills from Fens, Wildcard come away with round one. 07:26:15.820 --> 07:26:19.160 And a good adjustment there mid-round for Wildcard. 07:26:19.160 --> 07:26:23.060 They try to use Baby Shark to clear out Clash early, and it doesn't work. 07:26:23.060 --> 07:26:26.060 So they give up on trying to get Main Stairs controlled. 07:26:26.060 --> 07:26:27.660 They give up on a Moto drop. 07:26:27.660 --> 07:26:34.260 They still emphasize blue, but focus more towards the Arsenal side of the map with blue control. 07:26:34.260 --> 07:26:35.660 They have the Grim Canisters. 07:26:35.660 --> 07:26:40.060 They have Snake gathering more info and the Nade spam to work some of those fights. 07:26:40.060 --> 07:26:47.900 Even Han cold taking an aggressive stance from blue just to be that spearhead to get the rest of his team in the bomb site and play for a trade game 07:26:47.900 --> 07:26:51.120 Which is something they've been lacking most of this game Harrison 07:26:51.120 --> 07:26:54.880 I love the fact that while card fully commit to a new plan B 07:26:54.880 --> 07:26:59.300 They get psychic toll off it secure that plant deny JJ on that rotate day 07:26:59.300 --> 07:27:02.280 Which was which was really funny to watch as well 07:27:02.280 --> 07:27:07.560 And although like you said Fenn's got a nice 3k you've got vert upstairs on an open hatch 07:27:07.560 --> 07:27:10.900 There isn't much you can deal after that point so wild card 07:27:11.340 --> 07:27:15.080 Biting back after losing the entry to still take the round win altogether 07:27:15.240 --> 07:27:18.900 Yeah, that was a great gap hit hot and cold again spot like like I mentioned right? 07:27:18.900 --> 07:27:25.300 Oh, there's three players hovering around blue and hot gold just drops kitchen and kills two people wild card now 07:27:25.300 --> 07:27:28.640 Have to attack cash and CCTV five fears bringing the castle 07:27:28.640 --> 07:27:31.640 They're gonna try and extend over towards gym and bedroom 07:27:31.640 --> 07:27:37.860 They've got forest on the T'Chanka as that primary plant denial too fends fully reinforced off inside garage 07:27:37.860 --> 07:27:39.860 He is playing this position to die 07:27:40.580 --> 07:27:45.900 Wildcard curiously enough are rocking a Cali and they're just about to spot the castle of JJ 07:27:45.900 --> 07:27:49.580 He narrowly misses him rotating back up to red 07:27:50.780 --> 07:27:54.620 JJ gets away. I could have been an early find for for Bay 07:27:54.620 --> 07:28:02.340 still now this looming threat of a Cali sniper downstairs on your cutoff might 07:28:02.340 --> 07:28:07.140 make the rotates for five years very challenging in the ace Selma already 07:28:07.140 --> 07:28:12.100 going off on flat wall that opens up another angle that you know allow wild 07:28:12.100 --> 07:28:16.220 card to deal some damage or by garage perhaps at least cutting off the rotate 07:28:16.220 --> 07:28:21.740 between both a and b bomb site there is still a lot of utility as well wow of 07:28:21.740 --> 07:28:26.220 wild card but five fears and aggressive peek from snake destroying that castle 07:28:26.220 --> 07:28:31.020 barricade cans and had no idea what just hit him that is at least one less 07:28:31.020 --> 07:28:35.180 body from five years to now worry about but they still have enough tools to open 07:28:35.180 --> 07:28:38.940 up this garage double wall to help with the Habana exkiros charges and maybe 07:28:38.940 --> 07:28:42.620 start throwing out these grenades or lance charges from day to destroy the 07:28:42.620 --> 07:28:47.660 kibas but you can see the angle that they got not very good rival was able to 07:28:47.660 --> 07:28:53.740 shoot off the other half of those Hibana pellets. So Wildcard really have no angle into Rafters, 07:28:53.740 --> 07:28:58.380 and Fenz can just close it up with his Keeva and force Wildcard to waste a ton of ammunition on 07:28:58.380 --> 07:29:03.340 breaking them, which they do. Fenz with one Keeva in pocket will see if he decides to use it to 07:29:03.340 --> 07:29:08.620 bolster the Rafters clear, or if he decides to block off Garage, it is for Rafters. He just 07:29:08.620 --> 07:29:14.380 narrowly is able to cover his rotation as he avoids the Nade, but they takes the life of JJ. 07:29:14.380 --> 07:29:19.740 Another Nade comes in and Fenz is unable to escape it, so Wildcard have two picks in a 07:29:19.740 --> 07:29:23.420 row now after losing Kanzin and they have Garage Control. 07:29:23.420 --> 07:29:27.580 Great use of utility, hot and cold lurking from Oil Pit to use his Frag grenades with 07:29:27.580 --> 07:29:33.020 the help of his teammates from Flatwall to flush out Garage from Fenz's Azami. 07:29:33.020 --> 07:29:36.140 That was precise by Wildcard. 07:29:36.140 --> 07:29:37.700 They've got so much map control. 07:29:37.700 --> 07:29:42.500 They brought back the main advantage after Bay is well got to kill Offscreen onto JJ 07:29:42.500 --> 07:29:47.940 And they have info about Red and the only player, Cash, which is forced onto Chonka. 07:29:47.940 --> 07:29:51.780 That might mean for Snake, he'll try to go and run out, maybe applying some pressure 07:29:51.780 --> 07:29:53.400 from that highway balcony. 07:29:53.400 --> 07:29:58.320 Here comes the walk up here from Red as well, beautifully done from Wildcard on this execute. 07:29:58.320 --> 07:30:05.020 Now it's just forced into one versus four in Wildcard, two back to back rounds. 07:30:05.020 --> 07:30:10.300 Brilliant work from them on the attack and just like Café, an immediate attack timeout 07:30:10.300 --> 07:30:17.900 for five fears. Another gap hit by this attack seeing that really the only thing they had, 07:30:18.700 --> 07:30:24.060 the only thing they had for Garage was Keebas. There was nothing to stop Nades. 07:30:25.580 --> 07:30:30.620 They didn't even need a shield, they just opened a little bit of that Garage wall and it's enough 07:30:30.620 --> 07:30:36.540 to make sure that Fens and JJ cannot escape those Nades and then from there, Ella is basically 07:30:36.540 --> 07:30:40.500 off-site, so it becomes a 4v2 on cash in CCTV. 07:30:40.500 --> 07:30:41.900 They're able to walk up red. 07:30:41.900 --> 07:30:44.540 I think that was the big kill was Bay finding the warden, 07:30:44.540 --> 07:30:46.860 despite getting hit by that Elamide, 07:30:46.860 --> 07:30:49.340 and that really opened things up for Wildcard 07:30:49.340 --> 07:30:51.100 to just continue to flood in. 07:30:51.100 --> 07:30:53.060 Five fears, I understand the timeout. 07:30:53.060 --> 07:30:55.020 You just went to your two primary bomb sites 07:30:55.020 --> 07:30:58.940 on Clubhouse Defense, and were unable to win either. 07:31:01.180 --> 07:31:02.740 Five fears, scratching their heads, 07:31:02.740 --> 07:31:04.780 wondering the next best option here 07:31:04.780 --> 07:31:06.660 for their clubhouse defense. 07:31:06.660 --> 07:31:10.420 There'll be gym and bedroom in play for round number three. 07:31:10.420 --> 07:31:11.980 Heavy emphasis maybe on the roam. 07:31:11.980 --> 07:31:14.460 Once again, you can easily extend with the help of the mute, 07:31:14.460 --> 07:31:16.540 the help of those Azami Kiba barriers. 07:31:16.540 --> 07:31:17.380 Attackers need to load. 07:31:17.380 --> 07:31:19.340 Interested in seeing if they're gonna have snake 07:31:19.340 --> 07:31:20.900 maybe play top red as well. 07:31:20.900 --> 07:31:22.580 Or if you don't have something like a Jaeger 07:31:22.580 --> 07:31:24.900 or a Wamai when playing for gym and bedroom. 07:31:24.900 --> 07:31:26.140 Warden can easily hold there. 07:31:26.140 --> 07:31:28.500 You bring your own shield or have someone else do that 07:31:28.500 --> 07:31:30.620 and bring a nitro cell for yourself instead. 07:31:30.620 --> 07:31:32.700 Have the shotgun for close calls of red. 07:31:32.700 --> 07:31:38.920 the SMG-12 for long-range fights towards flat wall, very effective 1-2 combination. 07:31:38.920 --> 07:31:43.900 The mirror windows as well to help set up the sight anchor towards bathroom, and probably 07:31:43.900 --> 07:31:47.540 Lodge I would imagine as well as most of the mirrors like the first mirror that was there. 07:31:47.540 --> 07:31:48.540 No! 07:31:48.540 --> 07:31:53.040 The second one's dedicated towards the main breach, maybe just to stop the Selma charges 07:31:53.040 --> 07:31:55.700 or any other heart breach from getting the main wall opened up. 07:31:55.700 --> 07:32:00.580 That could be a really effective way of denying a gap hit for wall card, just another execute 07:32:00.580 --> 07:32:05.900 in general because for the most part Wildcard, despite losing two entries in a row, their 07:32:05.900 --> 07:32:11.540 mid to late round have brought them so many recovered kills and successful executes in 07:32:11.540 --> 07:32:15.580 the site. 07:32:15.580 --> 07:32:21.180 Back when they played one of 30 of their defenses weren't necessarily great either, they only 07:32:21.180 --> 07:32:28.420 have about a 50-50 on each side, attack and defense, so five years only take three rounds 07:32:28.420 --> 07:32:32.620 In this half, it's pretty average, both for them and the map as a whole. 07:32:32.620 --> 07:32:38.220 Clubhouse currently actually means 51% in the favor of the attack. 07:32:38.220 --> 07:32:43.920 So just barely, Wildcard thankful for that as they've strung together two rounds in a round. 07:32:43.920 --> 07:32:50.620 They're now bringing Ying Glaz, something that can be incredibly annoying for any defense to deal with 07:32:50.620 --> 07:32:53.420 if your warden is not in the right place. 07:32:53.420 --> 07:32:57.620 So a lot of this round, I imagine, is going to come down to how much value 07:32:57.620 --> 07:32:59.620 five fears can get out of snake. 07:32:59.620 --> 07:33:05.100 A lot of info gathered now for Wildcard. 07:33:05.100 --> 07:33:09.380 They noticed the lack of the extension anymore by Cash and said it's only rival holding 07:33:09.380 --> 07:33:10.380 from construction. 07:33:10.380 --> 07:33:11.860 He has a fallback from Lodgy. 07:33:11.860 --> 07:33:17.020 I would like to deal some damage before giving up the at least one half of the top floor 07:33:17.020 --> 07:33:19.180 for a skill down below. 07:33:19.180 --> 07:33:20.580 Really wants to go for this run out. 07:33:20.580 --> 07:33:22.340 Impact grenade comes out but it's mistimed. 07:33:22.340 --> 07:33:27.340 Wildcard not losing Bay on Jacuzzi is a massive position to hold at this minute thirty 07:33:27.340 --> 07:33:30.500 Mark as Wildcards now begin to rotate towards Cash. 07:33:30.500 --> 07:33:34.300 I was a close one, he just got out of the way and the C4 will tickle Spiker, but it 07:33:34.300 --> 07:33:36.220 is certainly not a big deal. 07:33:36.220 --> 07:33:40.380 Gas canister, sorry not gas canister, smoke grenades coming out on Highway to cover Baby 07:33:40.380 --> 07:33:46.940 Shark as the gas pipe explodes right next to Snake who's just playing around this window 07:33:46.940 --> 07:33:49.060 as Bay now jumps in. 07:33:49.060 --> 07:33:52.940 Snake spots the Hibana, is able to get one kill, now he's staring down the Blackfeard 07:33:52.940 --> 07:33:55.620 He kills Spiker before he gets traded back! 07:33:55.620 --> 07:33:57.820 They and Baby Shark go with two kills. 07:33:57.820 --> 07:34:00.940 Kansan makes an advantage now for Wildcard. 07:34:01.780 --> 07:34:05.140 And Rival and Fens are both off-site. 07:34:05.140 --> 07:34:09.500 They will have to retake into gym with Wildcard holding full site control. 07:34:09.500 --> 07:34:12.160 But they have the case! I forgot! 07:34:12.160 --> 07:34:14.060 Spiker was carrying it! 07:34:14.060 --> 07:34:20.220 And since he died to Spiker, Rival and Fens can continue to just hold Khan. 07:34:20.220 --> 07:34:24.720 What do Wildcard do here? They could go Lodgy, they could pinch from that and Condor, 07:34:24.720 --> 07:34:28.220 they could go on the highway and hold the window to cut off their rotation as well. 07:34:28.220 --> 07:34:34.220 They've got plenty of time to do so, there's still 30 seconds left and if they're able to get K safely, 07:34:34.220 --> 07:34:39.720 then it becomes that situation where 5 viewers have to retake into their own bombsite. 07:34:39.720 --> 07:34:45.220 20 seconds remaining. Fens inside Conn, rival supporting from Sheetdoor. 07:34:45.220 --> 07:34:51.220 Cannot find an angle, but Gryvel overexposes himself and Baby Shark has since recovered the case. 07:34:51.220 --> 07:34:54.220 Fence has to work his way back in. He takes down one. 07:34:54.220 --> 07:35:01.220 Plank gets confirmed by the glass though, and with such low HP, there's gonna be a tall task for Fence. 07:35:01.220 --> 07:35:07.220 One bullet from either of these guns will put him down. He doesn't catch the rotation from the glass outside the window. 07:35:07.220 --> 07:35:14.220 And now Wildcard have a player on highway. The Azami has to run out and take this fight, and it's an easy clean up for Baby Shark. 07:35:14.220 --> 07:35:21.020 And despite Snake in the Rack Corner getting two kills, dropping the diffuser from Spiker's hands, 07:35:21.020 --> 07:35:25.520 the Jacuzzi execute was top notch from Wildcard. 07:35:25.520 --> 07:35:30.920 It was a great split take to basically smother the rest of Five Fears on that defense. 07:35:30.920 --> 07:35:33.220 He had the Yin Candela's dropping from Lodgy. 07:35:33.220 --> 07:35:39.220 You have the Highway presence and also again because Forrest missed his runout on the ace. 07:35:39.220 --> 07:35:45.620 Bae was able to run in as well and cause chaos towards site off of those yin kandelus and smoke grenades. 07:35:45.620 --> 07:35:52.220 Five Fears had just too much to deal with all at the exact same time and just got a little overstimulated there. 07:35:52.220 --> 07:35:59.620 And again, yes, you were able to rotate back towards Khan, but you have over 40 seconds for wild card to hit that reset button. 07:35:59.620 --> 07:36:07.920 Gather their bearings, rotate towards highway to cut off the defensive rotation as well and pick up that diffuser to play for the win Khan. 07:36:07.920 --> 07:36:12.920 Three rounds in a row again, like we saw on Wildcard's map pick of Cafe. 07:36:12.920 --> 07:36:19.920 We'll see that brought here to the Cider pick of Clubhouse, where it will be church and arsenal in play once again for 5 Fears. 07:36:19.920 --> 07:36:27.920 Where, yes, off Clash's info, they did kill Baby Shark on Buck, but they were unsuccessful at stopping the Kitchen Drop from Hot and Cold. 07:36:27.920 --> 07:36:36.920 They were unsuccessful at denying that information and losing Blue Control, meaning, again, another plant position set up for Wildcard where 5 Fears 07:36:36.920 --> 07:36:42.240 Are also still oh and oh and what 12 at this point or even more than that on their retakes 07:36:42.440 --> 07:36:47.240 We've seen what two plants here this game so far. Yeah, cuz they were or not this game 07:36:47.240 --> 07:36:51.400 This man. Yeah, they're now oh and they're now oh and 12. I believe yeah. Oh 07:36:53.000 --> 07:36:55.120 My wow, okay. All right 07:36:55.120 --> 07:36:59.260 We'll see if that's enough to turn the tide snake with a spawn peak on the hot and cold that goes to Hibana 07:36:59.360 --> 07:37:05.600 That is a massive pick on this basement defense. That means that wild card are gonna have to make a choice now 07:37:05.600 --> 07:37:08.720 Now, Kansan and Spiker do both have can openers. 07:37:08.720 --> 07:37:15.200 They can get all the hatches, but that last one, they'll have to use either church wall 07:37:15.200 --> 07:37:16.200 or dirt. 07:37:16.200 --> 07:37:20.400 They'll have to make a decision one way or the other if they had that Hibana. 07:37:20.400 --> 07:37:25.400 Basically, every avenue they could have asked for would be open to them. 07:37:25.400 --> 07:37:30.400 They at least still have two sets of pocket breeches for both the Shryker and Grim. 07:37:30.400 --> 07:37:34.320 So getting the hatches open, that won't be completely impossible, but you'll be very 07:37:34.320 --> 07:37:40.000 Reexposed to the nitro cells in play for five years as Fenn's challenging bay from main stairs 07:37:40.000 --> 07:37:44.600 They were able to get away with a kill before baby shark can establish that first cutoff the skeleton key 07:37:44.920 --> 07:37:51.640 Ripping the floorboards to shreds as they've got info about this position from baby shark off the Valkyrie black eye cameras 07:37:51.640 --> 07:37:54.200 There's a guy here. It's just running here. Hello 07:37:55.400 --> 07:37:58.940 Wildcard unbeknownst to them. There's just a Valkyrie chilling in kitchen 07:37:58.960 --> 07:38:03.140 That's how a third kill in a row uncontested by wildcard 07:38:03.140 --> 07:38:08.240 It looks to me that at least five fears can get on the round count finally, but a 07:38:08.920 --> 07:38:15.400 Very comedic round I would say where five fears just kind of doing what they do best of catching their opponents off guard 07:38:15.400 --> 07:38:19.640 But the initial entry and just continuing to take these one-for-ones before wild card can set up 07:38:19.760 --> 07:38:27.520 And he forced getting on the board is also important before that both he and then JJ and rival two were all on donuts 07:38:27.520 --> 07:38:29.040 Now he's got support from snake 07:38:29.040 --> 07:38:33.080 Thanks to the C4 underneath and Forrest just hops up and peeks Spiker. 07:38:33.080 --> 07:38:36.080 Kansan not able to pressure it in time and it's a third! 07:38:36.080 --> 07:38:39.040 Forrest just got three kills in kitchen! 07:38:41.520 --> 07:38:43.840 That was not on my bingo cards for today, Harrison. 07:38:43.840 --> 07:38:47.480 I've got to admit, a flawless round for five fears. 07:38:48.480 --> 07:38:52.000 Some semblance of life in this first half, but Wildcard again, 07:38:52.000 --> 07:38:55.360 they've already won the three default attacks that they wanted to 07:38:55.680 --> 07:38:58.080 before coming into this decider pick again. 07:38:58.080 --> 07:39:05.080 And you mentioned how 50-50, this map has been for both teams and just the sides in general for both attack and defense. 07:39:05.080 --> 07:39:13.080 And also for Church and Arsenal being the bombsite one for five fears, that's one of the more defender sided objectives you can pick for Clubhouse. 07:39:13.080 --> 07:39:21.080 So I'm sure Wildcard aren't that upset of things considered given how clinical they've been for their previous attacks. 07:39:21.080 --> 07:39:24.280 We've got Jim and Beverly now in play once again for Five Fears. 07:39:24.280 --> 07:39:28.380 They now have the Clash reintroduced onto JJ and Wildcard. 07:39:28.380 --> 07:39:32.280 Also, they've got some slightly different options, but that could obviously change. 07:39:32.280 --> 07:39:36.180 We'll be figuring out where exactly Five Fears have chosen to defend. 07:39:36.180 --> 07:39:44.080 It looks like the extension from Five Fears is going to continue as well over by Cache and CCG with a mere identical lineup. 07:39:45.080 --> 07:39:47.980 Not a lot of resources besides, again, the Warden glasses perhaps. 07:39:47.980 --> 07:39:55.240 Maybe JJ actually could play over from either Khan or also in cash directly just to provide more information as to how many bodies are 07:39:55.460 --> 07:40:04.120 Dedicated towards that CC over clear and also just stalling it outright clash is an extremely effective operator at just wasting time and 07:40:04.380 --> 07:40:11.140 Whit 5 fears being successful on every single entry if they can do it again while also having a clash that could really 07:40:11.200 --> 07:40:16.660 Cripple the attack here for wild card and they try to go for it for us. What pretty much what it was unsuccessful 07:40:17.980 --> 07:40:24.980 The Ying, though, can also help stop the clash from finding a ton of value just by completely blinding her, 07:40:24.980 --> 07:40:28.980 as well as her support in trying to make your way around her shield. 07:40:28.980 --> 07:40:34.980 Five Fears, of course, do have an extension all the way over towards Cash and CCTV, 07:40:34.980 --> 07:40:40.980 while the card go ahead and open a flat wall and then they shift over towards Khan's single as well, 07:40:40.980 --> 07:40:45.980 so that side of the map is fully opened up to mount this clear. 07:40:45.980 --> 07:40:52.420 The CJJ on the clash is playing in and around Shlap and it's Bay with the opening pick, smoking 07:40:52.420 --> 07:40:58.840 Forest and taking down the Solus who is likely supposed to play for that late round. 07:40:58.840 --> 07:41:03.300 No more information, at least from the Solus scanner, no more plant-in-op perhaps from 07:41:03.300 --> 07:41:07.500 underneath or those potential run-outs we saw attempted by him previously. 07:41:07.500 --> 07:41:09.660 Great heads-up play by Bay. 07:41:09.660 --> 07:41:14.580 Either maybe seeing him melee the soft wall and just being gun up forward or in general 07:41:14.580 --> 07:41:16.780 is having a sixth sense perhaps. 07:41:16.780 --> 07:41:19.700 The entry kill, finally unsuccessful for five fears. 07:41:19.700 --> 07:41:22.180 And again, you've got all this utility focus 07:41:22.180 --> 07:41:24.180 towards getting yourself in the bomb site. 07:41:24.180 --> 07:41:26.500 You've got the glass to cover that plant, which smokes. 07:41:26.500 --> 07:41:28.300 You've got Spiker as Blackbeard, 07:41:28.300 --> 07:41:30.020 still alive to make that space. 07:41:30.020 --> 07:41:33.300 The yin candela is blinding three-fourths. 07:41:33.300 --> 07:41:35.900 The member's still alive, four or five fears. 07:41:35.900 --> 07:41:37.880 The only person to hard counter that is, of course, 07:41:37.880 --> 07:41:39.580 Snake on Warden. 07:41:39.580 --> 07:41:40.940 Here comes the push in from Spiker. 07:41:40.940 --> 07:41:42.060 A lot of damage is dealt, 07:41:42.060 --> 07:41:43.620 but he's still able to attempt this plant. 07:41:43.620 --> 07:41:49.220 Right behind the reinforcement, he's got tons of cover, the glass on the window, stopping Fens from making any kind of push. 07:41:49.220 --> 07:41:54.180 But JJ just steps up big, gets his way into gym and kills the planter. 07:41:54.180 --> 07:41:58.180 Baby Shark, though, with two massive frags to give his team the man advantage. 07:41:58.180 --> 07:42:04.020 And as JJ gets traded, Rival finds himself in technically what is a one versus two hot and cold bin. 07:42:04.020 --> 07:42:10.220 Baby Shark on the floor, out on highway, Wildcard not looking like they're going to go for the res. 07:42:10.220 --> 07:42:13.940 The Zed just take this 2v1 against the last lone defender. 07:42:13.940 --> 07:42:16.220 One coming in from the hallway. 07:42:16.220 --> 07:42:18.940 Rival, not sure if he's ready for it. 07:42:18.940 --> 07:42:23.380 He can hear those players out on the balcony and he gets spotted and lit up by the gas pipe. 07:42:23.380 --> 07:42:28.460 Excellent game sense from Vay to deal a lot of damage to this Mute as he rotates into Lodge. 07:42:28.460 --> 07:42:31.340 Bake retakes the case. 07:42:31.340 --> 07:42:33.820 Now planting once again in gym. 07:42:33.820 --> 07:42:35.900 Rival knows that Kansan is holding his angle. 07:42:35.900 --> 07:42:39.660 He spots the Ying for a moment, but Kansan cleans him up and wildcard 07:42:39.660 --> 07:42:41.660 with a commanding 4-1 lead. 07:42:41.660 --> 07:42:45.420 And again, just having all the right tools for the job, it felt like. 07:42:45.420 --> 07:42:50.220 Spiker knew that even if he dies, I've got two other teammates outside to get my trade. 07:42:50.220 --> 07:42:52.220 I just want to stick this plant. 07:42:52.220 --> 07:42:56.140 And off of a glass and ying, there isn't a lot that, you know, 07:42:56.140 --> 07:42:58.540 five fears can really do to close that distance. 07:42:58.540 --> 07:43:01.820 The ying candela is being used over by Laji again, getting rid of those. 07:43:01.820 --> 07:43:06.300 One of those two big power positions on the top floor for five fears is defense. 07:43:06.300 --> 07:43:13.600 and the glass being such a looming threat, because if you don't have Warden close by, those smokes can be a death sentence. 07:43:13.600 --> 07:43:19.200 You can't see where exactly Baby Shark is playing from with that Thermal Optic, and him just sitting back by Highway, 07:43:19.200 --> 07:43:25.100 getting two kills with the Bering Nine was more than enough to cripple the retake attempt by five fears. 07:43:25.100 --> 07:43:30.400 Another successful post-plan. If not a post-plan, at least just an execute. I can't recall the plan. 07:43:30.400 --> 07:43:34.300 He did not go down. Yeah, no, because Spiker had died to Jager. Jager, that's correct. 07:43:34.300 --> 07:43:38.780 But it will be a re-attemptive gym and bedroom now again for five fears. 07:43:39.340 --> 07:43:42.940 I know that the attacking half is their best side for five fears, 07:43:42.940 --> 07:43:48.500 but just the way they've been losing on this first half and the way they haven't been able to work off into this contact 07:43:48.780 --> 07:43:53.260 has been such a red flag going all the way back to Chalet where it was the total opposite. 07:43:53.700 --> 07:43:55.700 It feels like the wins been knocked out of their sales. 07:43:55.860 --> 07:44:01.340 Yeah, I mean they had four opening picks in a row to start this game and the only one one of those rounds. 07:44:01.340 --> 07:44:06.940 Finally wild card get on the board in the entry department five fears are able to immediately get that 07:44:07.680 --> 07:44:11.900 The planter and JJ gets to I don't know how they are sorry not pay 07:44:11.900 --> 07:44:18.060 I don't know how baby shark is allowed to get two kills on highway with the the bearing nine 07:44:18.900 --> 07:44:23.180 So it's not even like he cut people off through the smoke using his his rifle or anything 07:44:23.180 --> 07:44:29.300 I think they tried to either peek outside or run out like maybe run out con peak server window something like that baby shark 07:44:29.300 --> 07:44:34.740 was just ready for it. Every single time it looks like five fears have an advantage, 07:44:34.740 --> 07:44:38.660 somebody on wildcard is able to slip through the cracks. 07:44:40.020 --> 07:44:44.020 I think Ad is bearing nine now just prepared for a run out or a swing because his teammate from 07:44:44.020 --> 07:44:48.580 Highland is also injured. That's also another key point for wildcards. They're playing a much 07:44:48.580 --> 07:44:53.700 better trade game than they were back on Katve Dostoevetsky. They still ended up winning in 07:44:53.700 --> 07:44:59.060 max overtime versus five fierce some early damage dealt today but still alive 07:44:59.060 --> 07:45:02.900 utilize these last two ratero drones we're breaking out of shield we're 07:45:02.900 --> 07:45:07.620 moving more utility off the pool here five fears also a cool trick if you 07:45:07.620 --> 07:45:10.740 pre-detonate that ratero drone while it's up in the air it can get rid of those 07:45:10.740 --> 07:45:15.020 surrogates while detonating and getting rid of extra utility around Aruni's 07:45:15.020 --> 07:45:19.940 gadget no mute jammer left and the warden shield up top red is destroyed 07:45:19.940 --> 07:45:24.500 nearly for free forcing rival back this has been good map control established 07:45:24.500 --> 07:45:30.220 early for wild card as five years now forced to respect this clear from tctv 07:45:30.220 --> 07:45:34.740 good keeping usage as well to block off the cut by highway letting snake fall 07:45:34.740 --> 07:45:38.220 back a little bit safer but rival is actually gonna commit to holding red 07:45:38.220 --> 07:45:41.300 he's worried about the cutoff downstairs to maybe catch him on a flank 07:45:41.300 --> 07:45:45.220 flashbangs coming through could herald the clear from wild card but forrest 07:45:45.220 --> 07:45:49.420 starts the killing off on the baby shark too for rival on top red he was right to 07:45:49.420 --> 07:45:52.300 Stay there, but wild card may just be back in the round. 07:45:52.300 --> 07:45:56.660 No, Snake makes sure that Spiker is left in the clutch. 07:45:56.660 --> 07:45:58.460 He finds one, two more to find. 07:45:58.460 --> 07:46:02.960 Forrest and Fens, the former holding close on the door 07:46:02.960 --> 07:46:04.780 with the shotgun. 07:46:04.780 --> 07:46:07.260 Fens on the main stairs holding the long angle. 07:46:07.260 --> 07:46:10.580 Spiker pre-fires it, but Fens is not peeking it. 07:46:10.580 --> 07:46:13.620 He's waiting for Forrest contact, and there it is. 07:46:13.620 --> 07:46:17.660 The swing from the shotgun gives five fears a second round. 07:46:17.660 --> 07:46:19.180 This game is not over yet. 07:46:23.980 --> 07:46:25.780 OK, Mere, we run the baff, OK? 07:46:25.780 --> 07:46:26.280 Hur. 07:46:26.280 --> 07:46:27.000 All right, listen. 07:46:27.000 --> 07:46:27.500 Let me talk. 07:46:27.500 --> 07:46:28.460 Not dependent. 07:46:28.460 --> 07:46:29.180 Oh, no, no, no. 07:46:29.180 --> 07:46:31.300 OK, Mere. 07:46:31.300 --> 07:46:32.180 All right. 07:46:32.180 --> 07:46:33.860 Listen, guys, we clawed that back right there. 07:46:33.860 --> 07:46:35.420 We had some really close rounds. 07:46:35.420 --> 07:46:36.940 Stop letting this moment be bigger 07:46:36.940 --> 07:46:38.980 and stop letting our emotions get to us. 07:46:38.980 --> 07:46:40.620 Stop letting our fucking feelings get to us 07:46:40.620 --> 07:46:42.340 and just play the fucking game, OK? 07:46:42.340 --> 07:46:44.100 The only reason we're down 2-4 right now 07:46:44.100 --> 07:46:45.380 is because we are literally sitting here, 07:46:45.380 --> 07:46:47.420 letting our emotions get the fucking best of us 07:46:47.420 --> 07:46:49.100 in a super important situation. 07:46:49.100 --> 07:46:51.620 Stop floating so much, stop spinning so fucking hard 07:46:51.620 --> 07:46:53.540 on the map, listen to your IGLs, 07:46:53.540 --> 07:46:55.780 listen to the gameplay and fucking stick to it. 07:46:55.780 --> 07:46:57.100 Yeah, I heard. 07:46:57.100 --> 07:46:58.420 I heard. 07:46:58.420 --> 07:46:59.780 I was looking back on the full state attacker now 07:46:59.780 --> 07:47:01.100 and we're gonna dominate. 07:47:01.100 --> 07:47:02.420 Yep, yep, I remember guys, 07:47:02.420 --> 07:47:04.780 the way we need to play attack here is clinical. 07:47:04.780 --> 07:47:06.220 We need to open all the fan and pressure. 07:47:06.220 --> 07:47:07.180 We need to step by step, 07:47:07.180 --> 07:47:09.300 just like we've done in the recent scrims, okay? 07:47:09.300 --> 07:47:13.360 Guys, we are banning and the mirror, okay? 07:47:13.360 --> 07:47:16.260 So all we have to do is Nikki J, play the entry Mav, 07:47:16.260 --> 07:47:22.020 map the bottom of the wall without dying, shoot bandit off, if they tub it, they tub it, we can get everything open.

Yeah 07:49:00.500 --> 07:49:08.020 So all of five fears could be that the nerves are getting to them could be that they're so close that they're starting to realize 07:49:08.020 --> 07:49:13.820 just what this map means and that can break a team sometimes if you're not 07:49:13.820 --> 07:49:17.620 ready for the pressure so good job calling for the coach just saying you 07:49:17.620 --> 07:49:21.940 know what guys calm down know how to play better than this you have been 07:49:21.940 --> 07:49:25.220 playing better than this and you can bring this back five fears know that 07:49:25.220 --> 07:49:29.020 if they again hit that flow state on attack like Roman said they are an 07:49:29.020 --> 07:49:35.380 attacking team they can crack clubhouse clubhouse is 50 50 we'll see how this 07:49:35.380 --> 07:49:39.980 This first defense goes wildcard up on gym bedroom, of course with this cash extension from bay. 07:49:39.980 --> 07:49:43.380 There's going to be a lot of utility for five fears to chew through. 07:49:43.380 --> 07:49:45.580 Thanks to the alumni, thanks to the mute. 07:49:45.580 --> 07:49:46.680 They'll even have a bandit. 07:49:46.680 --> 07:49:49.780 Kansan could work on jacuzzi, could work on plat wall. 07:49:51.280 --> 07:49:56.080 And five fears thinking about, they were thinking about the blitz. 07:49:56.980 --> 07:49:59.380 Instead, they're going to run triple hard breach. 07:49:59.380 --> 07:50:03.980 Just like JJ said, they want to get everything open and keep wildcard guessing. 07:50:05.380 --> 07:50:12.740 Again, allows them to keep Wildcard separate from one another, denying that trade, 5 fears. 07:50:12.740 --> 07:50:16.540 Despite losing a good chunk of these rounds in the first half, we're still very successful 07:50:16.540 --> 07:50:19.220 on the entry, winning 5 out of the 6. 07:50:19.220 --> 07:50:23.420 The only round they did it was Bay getting rid of Forest as he tried peeking through 07:50:23.420 --> 07:50:27.060 the dirt tunnel, looking over towards that jacuzzi balcony. 07:50:27.060 --> 07:50:31.820 Got JJ and Snake now set up, looking to get this mav trick going, a good angle gear for 07:50:31.820 --> 07:50:34.700 JJ to look for an early pick. 07:50:34.700 --> 07:50:38.700 No one decides to challenge you, no bandit in sight, nope, 07:50:38.700 --> 07:50:41.140 I'd be able to most likely blow it up with an exothermic charge, 07:50:41.140 --> 07:50:44.140 or get a Selma to go over from this position, 07:50:44.140 --> 07:50:47.180 nothing too crazy so far from five fears. 07:50:47.180 --> 07:50:49.860 And again, it is a gym defensive hold for wildcard, 07:50:49.860 --> 07:50:53.260 so if they need to give up the cash and CC area early, 07:50:53.260 --> 07:50:55.660 it's something else in the world, but wow, 07:50:55.660 --> 07:50:58.060 what an impact grenade from Bay, 07:50:58.060 --> 07:50:59.820 that's now a second thermite charge 07:50:59.820 --> 07:51:01.460 dedicated to this initial breach, 07:51:01.460 --> 07:51:03.660 which it's not the end of the world, 07:51:03.660 --> 07:51:10.180 You do still have Selma charges and a Maverick and Pocket Breacher for us, but that was perfectly tossed from Bay. 07:51:10.580 --> 07:51:13.820 And it's not quite as big a breach as you would like. 07:51:13.820 --> 07:51:19.620 It gives you a lot less time to kill a defender should they be sprinting past the angle to get to CC window. 07:51:19.620 --> 07:51:20.500 Hot and cold. 07:51:20.620 --> 07:51:22.180 This take a lot of damage from... 07:51:22.780 --> 07:51:26.180 ...something, I think, a nade from Snape? 07:51:26.900 --> 07:51:28.860 But he still persists underneath that Lodgy hatch. 07:51:28.860 --> 07:51:33.420 Jacuzzi the next wall to fall JJ gets that one open with basically no trouble 07:51:35.220 --> 07:51:39.180 Five fears we mentioned they said during the timeout that they want the Phantom pressure 07:51:39.180 --> 07:51:45.140 They want everything open and that can make it confusing for both wild card and us even to figure out where they eventually 07:51:45.540 --> 07:51:50.540 Want to end and it looks like it's gonna be a jacuzzi execute into gym as you from the utility 07:51:50.900 --> 07:51:55.380 Flashbangs going out to make sure there's no one my an opening bathroom to make sure no one can play in there 07:51:55.380 --> 07:52:00.980 Yep, because JJ is in the third line rival, still having all three of his Selmas to open up this wall, 07:52:00.980 --> 07:52:04.900 leading into bathroom from a safe distance, no one having a run into the building. 07:52:04.900 --> 07:52:10.900 Over-exposing themselves, the line of fire held by wildcard, that now clears out a majority of bathroom. 07:52:10.900 --> 07:52:16.220 Snake on the lurk as well, a majority of this presence, held from cash, has been forfeit. 07:52:16.220 --> 07:52:21.820 Excluding Kansan, who's still holding close from the cash wall, but JJ lands a critical entry kill 07:52:21.820 --> 07:52:26.320 for five fears, they've now got red control and are slowly constricting Kanzan. 07:52:26.320 --> 07:52:29.320 Five fears have been so excellent in this entry department. 07:52:29.320 --> 07:52:31.920 Their problem has been being able to convert, 07:52:31.920 --> 07:52:34.320 but Rival gets another kill before Snake is refragged. 07:52:34.320 --> 07:52:38.120 Fence finds Kanzan as a 4-2 lead for five fears. 07:52:38.120 --> 07:52:40.520 As Baby Shark is now forced out of cash. 07:52:40.520 --> 07:52:42.220 Worried about the player on the window forced, 07:52:42.220 --> 07:52:45.420 maybe looking to play JJ's contact, in comes the Thermite, he dies. 07:52:45.420 --> 07:52:48.620 Baby Shark can keep playing around the Kiva and gets back to site. 07:52:48.620 --> 07:52:50.420 This is massive for Wildcard, 07:52:50.420 --> 07:52:55.180 But rival in the meantime has already made his way into bathroom after spiker died 07:52:55.420 --> 07:52:59.240 It's all on hot and cold. He's been so clutched for wild card. Can he do it again? 07:52:59.260 --> 07:53:04.060 There's one under rival looking for the other two fences dead and there's barely any time remaining 07:53:04.380 --> 07:53:10.060 Forces to go for the swing and high and cold. He just keeps getting away with it 07:53:10.460 --> 07:53:16.100 and a third clutch for hot and cold in this entire series a 07:53:16.100 --> 07:53:23.040 A star performance from him, the super sub that wild card need to keep this advantage 07:53:23.040 --> 07:53:29.320 against five fears and baby shark now lighting the all chat as well. 07:53:29.320 --> 07:53:32.400 It can't get any better than this from wild card. 07:53:32.400 --> 07:53:38.600 The recovery from baby shark netting two kills on the con extension to fall back into site 07:53:38.600 --> 07:53:45.600 and hot and cold, three separate one-for-one engagements that he played so perfectly. 07:53:45.600 --> 07:53:51.240 Re-contesting bathroom, fighting the guy from Khan's single wall and playing close with 07:53:51.240 --> 07:53:58.400 five seconds left with the Mossberg as Forrest has no chance in hell of planting that diffuser, 07:53:58.400 --> 07:54:02.760 a buddy ace for the Izami and Warden. 07:54:02.760 --> 07:54:06.640 I was about ready to sing the praises of five years because again their early round was 07:54:06.640 --> 07:54:14.720 3 kills in a row with 0 response from Wildcard, but their discipline and composure again against 07:54:14.720 --> 07:54:18.720 Five Beers has been impressive to save the Least Harrison. 07:54:18.720 --> 07:54:23.840 A new defensive site shows in for Wildcard, they'll continue to hold this top floor, but 07:54:23.840 --> 07:54:29.600 now from CCTV and Cache instead, we've got an interesting lineup as well, tons of stall 07:54:29.600 --> 07:54:34.520 here with Goyo being selected by Kansan Bay as well on the yoke or on the echo with these 07:54:34.520 --> 07:54:39.520 yokais gathering early information and redpings to figure out what operators 07:54:39.520 --> 07:54:43.200 exactly five fears is running kind of like a pseudo default cam except well 07:54:43.200 --> 07:54:46.160 you can't really shoot this one it's gonna fly in the air all over the place 07:54:46.160 --> 07:54:52.000 so little more challenging than that there isn't a lot of utility that five 07:54:52.000 --> 07:54:55.960 fears have to directly counter the azami except for capital luckily for them 07:54:55.960 --> 07:55:01.200 there's no gager or reliance so one fire bolt from force could be enough to 07:55:01.200 --> 07:55:05.420 overexposed spiker, but you'd want to have another set of guns here to assist 07:55:05.420 --> 07:55:08.880 forces. You wouldn't be going up to take that fight, so it'll take a lot of 07:55:08.880 --> 07:55:13.200 coordination here from Five Fears if you want to go for this garage tank. 07:55:13.200 --> 07:55:19.320 But yet another opening pick that Five Fears were unable to capitalize on. 07:55:19.320 --> 07:55:24.400 Again, just like I said in the defensive half, Five Fears get these entries. 07:55:24.400 --> 07:55:30.240 They've been great in the early round, but then somebody from Wildcard, one guy, 07:55:30.240 --> 07:55:35.220 slips through the cracks and has been changing every single round for the 07:55:35.220 --> 07:55:40.000 better for this wild card squad. Like you mentioned this is likely going to be a 07:55:40.000 --> 07:55:44.220 garage tape from Five Fears. They've already opened one of those garage walls. 07:55:44.220 --> 07:55:48.480 Fens lurking in lounge making sure to cut off any rotate either bottom garage 07:55:48.480 --> 07:55:53.800 or down red. With that camera being shot wild card should be aware of his 07:55:53.800 --> 07:55:57.720 position though they also spot the Valkyrie in oil pit so Fens can hold 07:55:57.720 --> 07:56:02.460 his rotate blue. If Baby Shark wants to rotate up, he'll have to take the long way. He'll 07:56:02.460 --> 07:56:08.460 still play an oilpint despite being spotted though. It is wasting more time but oh here 07:56:08.460 --> 07:56:12.100 comes Forest. Playing down below, smokeball now, wow! 07:56:12.100 --> 07:56:13.540 What? Why are we doing this? 07:56:13.540 --> 07:56:18.860 He doesn't play gun up! That's a huge blunder for five fears, losing your capital against 07:56:18.860 --> 07:56:24.540 an Azami extension on Rafters. And Baby Shark threw the Metal Grades, kills another, are 07:56:24.540 --> 07:56:27.100 you kidding me? 07:56:27.100 --> 07:56:32.100 B-Shark's feeling it, now trying to take the fight against JJ as Fenz gets lit up in Garage, 07:56:32.100 --> 07:56:38.100 trying to amend for his teammate's mistake, Spiker kills Fenz, JJ finally won back for his team, 07:56:38.100 --> 07:56:45.100 but the damage is done. A terrible Garage clear from Five Fears is about to put Wildcard on Ciri's point, 07:56:45.100 --> 07:56:50.100 unless Snake has something to say about it. Down goes Spiker. 07:56:50.100 --> 07:56:56.100 He's got three more bodies to find though, and can't pick up the case because of that gas pipe. 07:56:56.100 --> 07:57:02.140 This will all be down the kills and wildcard know it they hear him sprinting 07:57:02.140 --> 07:57:07.020 in through garage C4 out it's got his name on it it deals some damage but Snake 07:57:07.020 --> 07:57:10.180 is just gonna have to make his way through this window there's a 90 degree 07:57:10.180 --> 07:57:16.820 cross being held and wildcard are just one away from main stage. Six to two 07:57:16.820 --> 07:57:24.300 series point in favor of wildcard and five fears unable to win the initial 07:57:24.300 --> 07:57:31.020 gunfights, unable to deal with one person from oil pit, the world is crashing down around them. 07:57:31.900 --> 07:57:39.420 It's a church and arsenal defense, one of the trickiest bomb sites to play against as any attacking 07:57:39.420 --> 07:57:45.340 team, some of the best teams in the world struggling with clearing out that bomb site. And again, 07:57:45.340 --> 07:57:51.260 just seeing that moment for forest, having out his fireball, maybe expecting Baby Shark to be 07:57:51.260 --> 07:57:54.860 hiding behind natural cover I can understand wanting to use your gadget 07:57:54.860 --> 07:57:58.220 there instead to force him out into your line of fire but having no one else 07:57:58.220 --> 07:58:01.700 there to assist you that's the point I made during the prep phase yes your 07:58:01.700 --> 07:58:04.580 capuchin that's great for clearing his honor but someone has to be gone up 07:58:04.580 --> 07:58:08.180 with you because you don't have your own rifle available to use during that time 07:58:08.180 --> 07:58:13.780 and baby shark capitalizing off of that wins the first entry gets a kill to the 07:58:13.780 --> 07:58:18.380 metal greats and gives no second chance for five fears in that round we're 07:58:18.380 --> 07:58:36.380 seeing what looks to be a roam extension for Wildcard as well, trying to utilize as much of this top floor as they can to waste time and resources where five fears, a very aggressive lineup as well in their composition, maybe utilizing the blitz here to help deal with that roam up top. 07:58:36.380 --> 07:58:42.380 You've got force already gathering a lot of information through the cons out of the map now leading into master 07:58:42.380 --> 07:58:49.220 It looks like everybody on wildcard has although put some utility upstairs has fallen back down into the basement 07:58:49.620 --> 07:58:53.060 Excluding baby shark still lingering by main stairs 07:58:53.180 --> 07:58:59.580 But in the meantime more info gathered for five years as they're looking to be pushed the envelope towards blue instead with fens 07:59:06.380 --> 07:59:09.700 Wildcard have since confirmed that there are no roamers. 07:59:09.700 --> 07:59:12.940 Now it's down to how many hatches they can open. 07:59:12.940 --> 07:59:15.780 They only have two can openers. 07:59:15.780 --> 07:59:18.300 The ace likely to be mainly for church wall, 07:59:18.300 --> 07:59:22.740 so I imagine they'll get all three hatches open. 07:59:22.740 --> 07:59:26.380 Fenn's going to be working the fur in kitchen down into arsenal. 07:59:26.380 --> 07:59:31.180 You can already hear that skeleton key starting to go off. 07:59:31.180 --> 07:59:32.020 Again, five fears. 07:59:32.020 --> 07:59:35.300 They're game plans to open everything they possibly can 07:59:35.300 --> 07:59:40.840 and create phantom pressure. One of those Selmas is used for dirt, so if they want all three 07:59:40.840 --> 07:59:48.560 hatches open, Rival is going to have to use his last two. And I think they'd be on kitchen. 07:59:48.560 --> 07:59:54.180 Fens, looks like he's aware of this verticality being held by hot and cold. He skates just 07:59:54.180 --> 08:00:00.640 past the angle C4, goes up from the mute, but it's not going to land. Fens able to avoid 08:00:00.640 --> 08:00:06.440 is he's standing on that counter in the kitchen about halfway remaining in the rounds and 08:00:06.440 --> 08:00:09.000 Tuberow is delaying this church push. 08:00:09.000 --> 08:00:13.560 It's also behind the Grim canister and it's from giving away crucial information for 08:00:13.560 --> 08:00:14.560 five beers. 08:00:14.560 --> 08:00:19.400 I trust Cell prepticell for Baby Shark, he's waiting for the Zodo canister to finish off 08:00:19.400 --> 08:00:22.800 and then he'll toss it out knowing someone's close to that triple wall at least breaking 08:00:22.800 --> 08:00:23.800 the Selma charge. 08:00:23.800 --> 08:00:27.880 It's great use of utility there but regardless Rival still having one last Selma charge can 08:00:27.880 --> 08:00:32.200 get this Manuel opened up but has to wait another second longer for that last 08:00:32.200 --> 08:00:37.720 Soto canister. So much time has been used up here by Wildcard. Only 50 seconds 08:00:37.720 --> 08:00:41.840 for five years to start this execute and now they're dropping the case off of 08:00:41.840 --> 08:00:45.480 Forrest on JJ. They might be trying to adjust last second but it might be too 08:00:45.480 --> 08:00:52.240 late Harrison as they've lost JJ. The Grim Dead case drop outside short just 08:00:52.240 --> 08:00:56.900 inside of Moto. Forrest gonna try and come down blue. Rival takes down 08:00:56.900 --> 08:01:01.360 Spiker who tried to get aggressive by main stairs look at this angle from baby shark 08:01:01.360 --> 08:01:05.320 There is no way that rival is going to be able to fight this another trade 08:01:05.320 --> 08:01:11.680 And now the man advantage is in the hands of wild card Fens trying to make something happen by moto the 2v1 being taken by 08:01:11.680 --> 08:01:16.520 Forrest doesn't work out Fens is the last man standing against two players holding blue 08:01:16.520 --> 08:01:21.420 He cuts the head off of bay, but hot and cold has been so clutch 08:01:21.420 --> 08:01:27.780 Reload comes and the shotgun is there and once again Hot and Cold puts Wildcard on 08:01:27.780 --> 08:01:32.120 his back. The Cinderella for JJ Nation ends here. 08:01:32.120 --> 08:01:37.060 Spiker Mafia is going to mainstay. 08:01:38.180 --> 08:01:45.420 From bench player to clutch factor for Wildcard, it's Hot and Cold to close out 08:01:45.420 --> 08:01:54.420 the series 7-2 for Wildcard, ruining the hopes of former J.J. and Co. Now five 08:01:54.420 --> 08:02:02.460 fears the lower bracket run ends today as Wildcard are eighth confirmed team for 08:02:02.460 --> 08:02:08.380 phase three after a beautiful performance on cafe sealing the deal in 08:02:08.380 --> 08:02:17.900 and overtime round 15, and it didn't even look close there on most rounds for Clubhouse. 08:02:17.900 --> 08:02:23.740 An absolutely beautiful game, and I hope we get to see both these teams in the next major 08:02:23.740 --> 08:02:27.620 and more out of Wildcard as they make it to playoffs. 08:02:27.620 --> 08:02:32.140 Before we get the interviews underway, we'll hop in on Quick Break to set them up and return 08:02:32.140 --> 08:02:39.140 shortly so don't go anywhere. 08:06:02.140 --> 08:06:31.260 Welcome back, everyone. If you missed that series, you missed an incredible show. 08:06:31.260 --> 08:06:35.600 So JJ versus Spiker with main stage on the line. 08:06:35.600 --> 08:06:39.140 Five Fears looked incredible after map one. 08:06:39.140 --> 08:06:41.980 They were really close on map two. 08:06:41.980 --> 08:06:43.260 Wildcard just a little bit better. 08:06:43.260 --> 08:06:44.940 And then we get to map three. 08:06:44.940 --> 08:06:48.340 And Wildcard by far and away looked like the better team. 08:06:48.340 --> 08:06:50.060 Almost every single round. 08:06:50.060 --> 08:06:52.540 It was night and day from Louison Chalet. 08:06:52.540 --> 08:06:54.140 I almost thought we were gonna have Five Fears 08:06:54.140 --> 08:06:56.180 sweeping the series 2-0 like they have 08:06:56.180 --> 08:06:57.380 throughout the lower bracket. 08:06:57.380 --> 08:07:00.700 But Wildcard on cafe, they did an incredible job 08:07:00.700 --> 08:07:03.160 of stopping the entry from five fears, 08:07:03.160 --> 08:07:06.780 having a better info game and ratting quite often as well. 08:07:06.780 --> 08:07:09.260 And then they brought a lot of that same style of play 08:07:09.260 --> 08:07:12.300 going into clubhouse despite five fears 08:07:12.300 --> 08:07:15.500 being five and six on the entry in the first half. 08:07:15.500 --> 08:07:19.180 They only won two out of the six rounds altogether. 08:07:19.180 --> 08:07:21.860 Just going to show how incredible this team 08:07:21.860 --> 08:07:25.580 was playing off their utility, off their crossfires, 08:07:25.580 --> 08:07:28.260 doing a fantastic job of still getting the gap 08:07:28.260 --> 08:07:29.100 in towards site. 08:07:29.100 --> 08:07:31.180 Hot and cold as well, having some of the most 08:07:31.180 --> 08:07:32.340 kills on that team. 08:07:32.340 --> 08:07:34.140 I think Baby Shark still had more at 29. 08:07:34.140 --> 08:07:35.340 It was Hot and Cold 26. 08:07:35.340 --> 08:07:38.340 That was a great performance by both him, the Super Sub, 08:07:38.340 --> 08:07:41.620 and Baby Shark, who has been fairly inconsistent 08:07:41.620 --> 08:07:42.700 since the Swiss stage. 08:07:42.700 --> 08:07:45.060 But today, he brought the firepower. 08:07:45.060 --> 08:07:48.100 Yeah, Hot and Cold, we can't sing his praises enough. 08:07:48.100 --> 08:07:51.900 He was absolutely instrumental in that clubhouse victory. 08:07:51.900 --> 08:07:55.260 Two clutches, one huge gap hit on basement. 08:07:55.260 --> 08:07:57.500 If it wasn't for Hot and Cold, we 08:07:57.500 --> 08:08:02.060 could be in the game still with a 5-4, 5-fears lead. 08:08:02.060 --> 08:08:04.780 But we are going to go ahead and talk to the winners. 08:08:04.780 --> 08:08:07.780 Jonah is here with Wildcard. 08:08:07.780 --> 08:08:09.660 Wildcard, take the win. 08:08:09.660 --> 08:08:12.180 And they're going to main stage. 08:08:12.180 --> 08:08:13.580 Hankel, tell me right now. 08:08:13.580 --> 08:08:16.220 I mean, the feeling right now is going through your body. 08:08:16.220 --> 08:08:16.820 Can we reset?

08:09:02.940 --> 08:09:04.860 I mean, of course, it feels good. 08:09:04.860 --> 08:09:07.820 It feels super good. 08:09:07.820 --> 08:09:11.220 I know that during the kickoff, I had a tough time. 08:09:11.220 --> 08:09:14.300 It was not my best performance. 08:09:14.300 --> 08:09:16.460 And I'm super happy. 08:09:16.460 --> 08:09:22.600 Being able to go play on main stage with a substitute, 08:09:22.600 --> 08:09:24.380 with Matt, I mean, we're super happy. 08:09:24.380 --> 08:09:26.840 And of course, I was going to have my team. 08:09:26.840 --> 08:09:29.360 I'm back, I told it on Twitter. 08:09:29.360 --> 08:09:32.440 I'm just back, I want to win everything. 08:09:32.440 --> 08:09:35.520 We're going to give our best to give like the NA 08:09:35.520 --> 08:09:37.200 and another trophy. 08:09:37.200 --> 08:09:39.480 Man, it also feels like we saw some of your best today. 08:09:39.480 --> 08:09:42.320 When we think of fragging IGLs in NA, 08:09:42.320 --> 08:09:44.600 it's usually Spiker that comes to mind. 08:09:44.600 --> 08:09:46.360 You were dropping some insane numbers. 08:09:46.360 --> 08:09:48.720 I mean, so many different clutches throughout the game. 08:09:48.720 --> 08:09:49.960 I mean, what was different for you 08:09:49.960 --> 08:09:51.720 as you went into this lobby? 08:09:51.720 --> 08:09:54.080 I think I was very cool, calm and collected today. 08:09:54.080 --> 08:09:59.920 I think when I let I let the clutches come to me instead of trying to make the clutches if that makes sense 08:09:59.920 --> 08:10:03.380 You know that wasn't forcing the hero plays just kind of letting the round come to me 08:10:04.160 --> 08:10:06.580 Amazing when we will see wild card on the main stage 08:10:06.580 --> 08:10:11.980 We will see hot and cold and his mom in person here in Salt Lake City. So we'll see you there 08:10:13.400 --> 08:10:17.000 Awesome stuff. I mean like you said hot and cold cool calm and collected 08:10:17.000 --> 08:10:22.780 Maybe the superist sub of all the super subs and baby shark super right. He's back, right? 08:10:22.780 --> 08:10:29.060 We talked about one of the the big talking points heading into this event for wild card was obviously hot cold coming into sub 08:10:29.060 --> 08:10:32.340 But also yeah baby shark did not have a good kickoff 08:10:32.340 --> 08:10:34.220 It was not a kind event to him 08:10:34.220 --> 08:10:40.620 But he is most definitely back and now we can talk to JJ and his team and see their thoughts after that match 08:10:42.560 --> 08:10:46.420 Five years here after the loss guys you played a great game 08:10:46.420 --> 08:10:50.880 It was a valiant effort you guys impressed so many people and it sounded like JJ 08:10:50.880 --> 08:10:53.760 and I'll start with you, that the message in here 08:10:53.760 --> 08:10:57.680 was one of gratitude, appreciation, 08:10:57.680 --> 08:11:00.280 rather than hanging your heads in defeat. 08:11:00.280 --> 08:11:03.280 Yeah, you're gonna, God damn it, man. 08:11:03.280 --> 08:11:06.320 I was fine until you said I shouldn't have. 08:11:06.320 --> 08:11:07.240 I was fine, man. 08:11:08.280 --> 08:11:11.080 I mean, fuck me. 08:11:11.080 --> 08:11:12.440 I'm just so proud of the boys here. 08:11:12.440 --> 08:11:14.800 Like, I couldn't imagine even being at a LAN event 08:11:14.800 --> 08:11:16.640 come last year with where I started in my career 08:11:16.640 --> 08:11:19.200 and everything, and these boys put so much trust 08:11:19.200 --> 08:11:22.880 faith and like love and just being great teammates and even when I'm not the best 08:11:22.880 --> 08:11:27.560 teammate and I truly like they deserve the world man. I'm just proud of them for 08:11:27.560 --> 08:11:31.680 how hard they worked and the fight we put on and I'm just I'm optimistic for 08:11:31.680 --> 08:11:34.840 their future because I know we can achieve a lot. I was hearing you guys 08:11:34.840 --> 08:11:39.520 going around complimenting each other about what what went well. Snake is 08:11:39.520 --> 08:11:44.200 that something that you know you guys are looking forward are gonna be 08:11:44.200 --> 08:11:47.960 holding on to the success you've had here? Yeah we're just gonna try to build on 08:11:47.960 --> 08:11:51.000 You know what we did throughout the year. We know like what we do good 08:11:51.000 --> 08:11:55.400 We know what we do bad and we just got to try to like make our weaknesses our strengths going forward really 08:11:56.920 --> 08:11:58.920 You know, we'll be a land team at some point 08:11:59.480 --> 08:12:06.440 I mean, this is this is the first land event for or at least the first international competition for three of you, right? 08:12:06.440 --> 08:12:11.680 I mean, this is this is a big moment and I think you guys performed incredibly well 08:12:11.680 --> 08:12:16.400 I know there's people out there that hate you there's people out there that love you so so much rival 08:12:16.400 --> 08:12:20.400 I mean, to either of those groups, do you have anything you want to say to them? 08:12:20.400 --> 08:12:23.400 I mean, I feel like all the haters are just going to end up loving us even more 08:12:23.400 --> 08:12:27.400 after they see, like, how we're going to go with things, I think, on the stages and the fluke, 08:12:27.400 --> 08:12:31.400 and I think the people that gained to love us, love us, and the people that hate us for right now, 08:12:31.400 --> 08:12:35.400 over the Rio, so whatever they think they're going to be drawn to be dramatic about, 08:12:35.400 --> 08:12:40.400 I think they're going to begin to love us when we continue to put on the shows that the game deserves 08:12:40.400 --> 08:12:43.400 and what we continue to do throughout the maps and the stages and the lanes. 08:12:43.400 --> 08:12:45.400 As we close things out 08:12:45.560 --> 08:12:51.880 JJ I'll pass the mic to you just briefly. Is there anything else you want to say to the people as we wrap things up? 08:12:51.880 --> 08:12:54.760 And what has been a successful first chunk of the year for five years? 08:12:54.800 --> 08:12:58.640 Yeah, just thank you to all the guys who actually showed up in support for us from day one 08:12:58.920 --> 08:13:03.720 Thank you to our work. They're truly great guys, you know, they're a small group of guys, but they care for us 08:13:03.720 --> 08:13:06.040 they do a lot for us and they do a lot more than others would and 08:13:06.560 --> 08:13:10.040 Very grateful to them. I guess the last thing is Ballsign Nation will keep riding 08:13:10.040 --> 08:13:16.720 I was waiting for that. Five fears, a fantastic showing in what is essentially their first 08:13:16.720 --> 08:13:20.920 international event ever. 08:13:20.920 --> 08:13:25.360 And for their first ever international event Harrison, I feel like they did quite well 08:13:25.360 --> 08:13:28.560 for themselves. Obviously you want to make it to that main stage, you want to hear the 08:13:28.560 --> 08:13:33.200 crowd cheering you on, but for a team that a lot of people initially for the NAO kickoff 08:13:33.200 --> 08:13:39.160 weren't expecting to not only make it into the major, but the first and flawless, this 08:13:39.160 --> 08:13:44.260 It's been an incredible storyline for them, and I think they've got plenty more in the tank after this event 08:13:44.260 --> 08:13:50.040 Yeah, I think as they gain more experience. They will like for a set transition from being an online 08:13:50.560 --> 08:13:56.160 To a land team again JJ see him get teared up. Oh my god 08:13:56.160 --> 08:14:00.240 That was that was tough for that we catch that guy for oh my god seven years now 08:14:00.240 --> 08:14:06.240 The same thing for spiker super glad to see at least one of them make the main stage and speaking of the main stage 08:14:06.240 --> 08:14:12.560 John, we know our matches for Friday. Of course, this is a single elimination 08:14:12.560 --> 08:14:17.260 BO3 tournament up until the finals that are best of fives. And we have some treats. 08:14:17.260 --> 08:14:22.320 FaZe Clan versus Falcons. The rematch from Boston. 08:14:22.320 --> 08:14:28.360 DZ versus Wildcard. Another NA Derby. Wildcard, of course, playing DZ and 08:14:28.360 --> 08:14:32.140 kicking them to the lower bracket in the NAL kickoff stage. 08:14:32.140 --> 08:14:41.640 Twisted Minds versus Enterprise, ME&A versus Australia, and then another classic G2 versus Shopify Rebellion. 08:14:41.640 --> 08:14:48.640 Big Vanadium versus Alamow, that will be an incredible battle of the wits for our fourth quarter final. 08:14:48.640 --> 08:14:55.640 The two, I would say, most dark horse teams of Enterprise, the only APAC team to make it into top eight, 08:14:55.640 --> 08:15:01.140 and Twisted Minds has shown one of the most enjoyable people to watch play this game as well. 08:15:01.140 --> 08:15:06.420 Remember that GK play from him with the Azami on Oregon that still lives in my head rent free 08:15:06.420 --> 08:15:09.840 He does such an amazing job at making those hero plays work out 08:15:09.840 --> 08:15:14.480 But Harrison I cannot wait for phase three and luckily we won't have to wait all that much longer 08:15:14.480 --> 08:15:20.720 We'll have the day of rest for all the players and return on Friday, and I believe 10 o'clock if not 10 08:15:21.220 --> 08:15:25.820 Yeah, it's 10 a.m. Mountain. Yes, so that's noon eastern if you're on a real time 08:15:26.340 --> 08:15:31.100 Don't know what it is for Europe. I think it's like what are they six hours seven hours? 08:15:31.140 --> 08:15:35.860 hours ahead. Yeah, so about something like that. 5 to 7. I said noon, right? Yeah, 08:15:35.860 --> 08:15:40.740 so 5 to 7 PM. Thank you all for watching. We will see you all back here on 08:15:40.740 --> 08:15:46.300 Friday at 10 a.m. Mountain Time for all four of those single elim best of threes. 08:15:46.300 --> 08:15:49.380 Again, thank you all so much for watching.
