WEBVTT

07:30.000 --> 07:54.200
I know the game sounds so I think I'm gonna win.

07:54.200 --> 07:55.800
I'm gonna play the game for 10 years man.

07:55.800 --> 07:56.800
Me too.

07:56.800 --> 07:57.800
You're a rookie man.

07:57.800 --> 08:01.560
Oh my god.

08:01.560 --> 08:02.560
Now I'll buy it.

08:02.560 --> 08:07.440
Of course it is.

08:07.440 --> 08:08.440
It's a Mara.

08:08.440 --> 08:13.240
Dude, you're not quick enough.

08:13.240 --> 08:14.240
417.

08:14.240 --> 08:15.240
That's correct.

08:15.240 --> 08:16.240
It's the Og.

08:16.240 --> 08:17.240
It looks like Copenhagen from the...

08:17.240 --> 08:18.240
I'll actually have this one.

08:18.240 --> 08:19.240
That's Andy.

08:19.240 --> 08:20.240
Yeah.

08:20.240 --> 08:21.240
So...

08:21.240 --> 08:25.240
Looks like Copenhagen from the...

08:25.240 --> 08:26.240
I'll actually have this one.

08:26.240 --> 08:27.240
That's Andy.

08:27.240 --> 08:29.240
So that is Nate.

08:29.240 --> 08:30.240
Oh, God, I got one.

08:30.240 --> 08:33.240
Well, it is better than what you do.

08:33.240 --> 08:35.240
One more time?

08:35.240 --> 08:36.240
No, no, no, no, no, no.

08:36.240 --> 08:37.240
Handy?

08:37.240 --> 08:38.240
No.

08:38.240 --> 08:39.240
Cyber?

08:39.240 --> 08:40.240
Oh, my God!

08:40.240 --> 08:42.240
Well, it is better than what you do.

08:42.240 --> 08:44.240
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

08:44.240 --> 08:45.240
Every fight is a...

08:45.240 --> 08:46.240
Doc?

08:46.240 --> 08:47.240
Chapel?

08:47.240 --> 08:48.240
No.

08:48.240 --> 08:49.240
No, it's a...

08:49.240 --> 08:57.760
There was time for coffee remember to stretch first. I'd like Val. Oh, sir. I mean I'm never getting

09:03.880 --> 09:08.340
Don't fuck this up. I think I think you'll you'll know it's pretty common for you

09:13.080 --> 09:17.080
It's not a it's not a gun it's not a gun and that's the whole animation

09:17.080 --> 09:19.080
Oh

09:47.080 --> 10:16.760
Welcome to Salt Lake City, where Utah's mines were once carved directly into the mountains,

10:16.760 --> 10:24.240
And where darkness wasn't your enemy, it was an ally.

10:24.240 --> 10:30.200
For generations, miners would step into those deep black tunnels.

10:30.200 --> 10:36.120
And based off of nothing but pure instinct, they would sometimes return home with an absolute

10:36.120 --> 10:37.900
fortune.

10:37.900 --> 10:44.240
This weekend here at this Rainbow Six Major, our remaining eight teams are looking to do

10:44.240 --> 10:46.720
the exact same thing.

10:46.720 --> 10:50.560
in the darkness, you might just strike gold.

10:50.560 --> 10:53.840
Welcome to the Rainbow Six Salt Lake City Major.

11:04.280 --> 11:07.640
We're surrounded by the marvelous mountains here in Utah,

11:07.640 --> 11:11.480
in Salt Lake City, where the city meets its peaks

11:11.480 --> 11:14.200
for another Rainbow Six Siege Major.

11:14.200 --> 11:21.080
this weekend we crowned yet another champion in our illustrious history and we're doing it in North America.

11:21.080 --> 11:23.960
We love it here. We love the crowds here. And how are we doing? We good?

11:24.960 --> 11:31.560
I thought as much. That's home soil, baby. Yeah, we've got the early birds rocking up and getting their seats nice and early on this Friday.

11:31.800 --> 11:37.280
And I'm joined by two NA superstars as well. We've got Fox and Lax. Guys, it must be good to be home.

11:37.280 --> 11:41.840
Oh, it sure is. I mean, easiest flight probably to any event that we've ever had.

11:41.840 --> 11:46.720
But Utah is beautiful. I mean, the scenery that you get from here, not only outside,

11:46.720 --> 11:49.280
but now we're going to get some amazing Siege scenery as well.

11:49.280 --> 11:52.080
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's the best both worlds. I mean, we got Siege here. Obviously,

11:52.080 --> 11:55.440
that's a family for me, but I also got family here as well, whether they're going to be in

11:55.440 --> 11:59.440
the crowd here later today or going forward. I mean, it's just a beautiful scenery to be here.

11:59.440 --> 12:01.520
And again, the NA crowd is always superior.

12:01.520 --> 12:06.240
Well, we're all saddled up and ready to ride. And I don't know whose idea it was to wear that cowboy hat.

12:06.240 --> 12:09.240
I'm not sure who the ugly. I'll

12:09.240 --> 12:11.240
take it. It might be me. Oh,

12:11.240 --> 12:12.240
thanks. It could be. Should we

12:12.240 --> 12:14.240
do a poll? We should do a

12:14.240 --> 12:15.240
poll. All right. Well, right.

12:15.240 --> 12:16.240
We're literally going for it. Who

12:16.240 --> 12:18.240
is the ugly? I'll take the hit

12:18.240 --> 12:20.240
if it needs to be. Listen, I'm

12:20.240 --> 12:21.240
so excited for this weekend, but

12:21.240 --> 12:22.240
we need to quickly take a look

12:22.240 --> 12:24.240
in the rear view mirror at the

12:24.240 --> 12:26.240
Swiss bracket of how we got here

12:26.240 --> 12:28.240
to the big dance. It was a lot

12:28.240 --> 12:30.240
of action and a lot of upsets

12:30.240 --> 12:32.240
and I guess surprise is Fox. I

12:32.240 --> 12:33.240
mean, there's been so many

12:33.240 --> 12:34.240
upsets and I'm not sure

12:34.240 --> 12:40.160
I mean, there's been so many upset every team that came to play every region put their best foot forward

12:40.160 --> 12:43.200
I mean being able to see a CNL team get some wins under the doubt

12:43.200 --> 12:46.600
They look amazing to be able to watch and now we have two new teams

12:46.920 --> 12:52.360
Essentially from underdeveloped regions that are now coming with twisted minds EP. They're looking very scary

12:52.360 --> 12:55.520
So we have everything that it could take for an R6 major

12:56.000 --> 13:02.120
What happened to the area? Where's my voice the area? Anyway, let's take a look at what we do have and these are our eight

13:02.120 --> 13:07.160
remaining teams coming into playoffs. I mean so everyone's brackets and predictions absolutely

13:07.160 --> 13:11.400
got messed up throughout this entire rendition just get here to the quarterfinals but the beauty

13:11.400 --> 13:16.280
of all eight of these teams is they all have a storyline and as to why they're so deserving to

13:16.280 --> 13:22.280
be here and why they can be the next SLC major champion. Well do not move from your saddle you're

13:22.280 --> 13:29.720
in for the long ride tonight we start at 10 and our last matchup is at 7 p.m. here in Salt Lake City

13:29.720 --> 13:31.920
and we have got some bangers land up.

13:31.920 --> 13:34.520
I mean, we do the two big games in the middle of the day.

13:34.520 --> 13:36.720
I mean, G2SR, Falcons phase.

13:36.720 --> 13:38.600
Those could be major finals games.

13:38.600 --> 13:40.760
But for me, I love seeing the underdog perform.

13:40.760 --> 13:42.200
I mean, the EP twists in mind game.

13:42.200 --> 13:42.600
Absolutely.

13:42.600 --> 13:43.840
I'm excited to see what they bring.

13:43.840 --> 13:45.000
A little bit of new.

13:45.000 --> 13:47.600
Hey, I'm excited to see a little bit of the wild car burst easy.

13:47.600 --> 13:49.080
I don't leave that out of the water.

13:49.080 --> 13:50.400
I mean, that should be a good game.

13:50.400 --> 13:51.400
There's some rivalry there.

13:51.400 --> 13:53.320
There should be, I mean, it's good matches across the board,

13:53.320 --> 13:54.080
plain and simple.

13:54.080 --> 13:55.400
You're going to be satisfied either way.

13:55.400 --> 13:56.080
Absolutely.

13:56.080 --> 13:58.320
We've got a stacked lineup of matches.

13:58.320 --> 14:00.240
And we've got a stacked on our team as well.

14:00.240 --> 14:03.960
Jonah has been out looking around the arena.

14:03.960 --> 14:05.880
Hey, guys, I wanted to take you through what our fans can

14:05.880 --> 14:09.040

14:09.040 --> 14:09.760

14:09.760 --> 14:11.480
As we work our way in the main entrance,

14:11.480 --> 14:13.000
one of the first things we can see

14:13.000 --> 14:15.240
is, of course, the merchandise area.

14:15.240 --> 14:18.640
We've got hoodies, t-shirts, team jerseys for sale,

14:18.640 --> 14:22.840
with, of course, the darkness is your ally slogan on it.

14:22.840 --> 14:25.040
As we work our way in towards the main stage,

14:25.040 --> 14:27.840
we come to one of my favorite things here at the Salt Palace

14:27.840 --> 14:32.560
convention center our demo booth where fans can experience all that the new

14:32.560 --> 14:38.080

14:54.680 --> 14:58.960
They may not have made the major, but they are certainly gonna make their impact here

14:58.960 --> 15:04.300
They have a marble race here at the tent the next race at 11 a.m.

15:04.300 --> 15:11.340
Where they're giving away prizes as you race your marbles down the track truly an amazing experience here for everyone as

In the Salt Palace Convention Center. We've got media village with our co-streamers

I know our fans here in person are excited. We've got the bleachers

15:37.780 --> 15:41.780
We've got the audience and boy are we ready to go

15:42.980 --> 15:44.980
Oh, we look Jonah this guy can yeah

15:44.980 --> 15:46.020
This guy can happen

15:46.020 --> 15:51.100
He's actually gonna be joining you in this place on the desk for the second half of playday one cannot wait to have him here

15:51.100 --> 15:54.240
Now we asked earlier out of the good the bad and the ugly who's the ugly

15:55.860 --> 16:01.000
Fox yeah, that's that's messed up that is I mean that's got to be sarcasm you are not I

16:01.100 --> 16:05.980
The hat the hat's not doing it for me. Okay. I definitely don't have that for a hat

16:05.980 --> 16:11.280
But like listen fuck yeah, but that's all the knowledge in there. You know, yeah, because I have a big head

16:11.620 --> 16:12.940
No

16:12.940 --> 16:16.380
You know you were good. I gel you got a lot of the information

16:16.380 --> 16:20.800
Listen, I'm gonna do your favorite move on here. Let's go on to the panorama

16:20.800 --> 16:25.800
This is where we take a look at the monster the moment and the must see of this event so far

16:25.800 --> 16:31.240
Let's start with the monster. I'm in the monster without a doubt has to go to hot and cold

16:31.240 --> 16:33.240
I mean the rise from

16:34.480 --> 16:36.480
Able to get dropped from M80

16:37.200 --> 16:40.360
Everyone ridden him off. He came to stand in for wild card to

16:40.880 --> 16:45.000
Essentially 1v3 clutches against five peers to send wild card to the main stage

16:45.000 --> 16:49.120
I mean this first clutch with such low HP to be able to get the pump in the 1v1

16:49.120 --> 16:51.560
All the way to the last round to clutch it out last

16:51.560 --> 16:51.920
I mean

16:51.920 --> 16:57.780
I think it just speaks in his individual prowess his tenacity to still want to continue and again like you said being drop

16:57.780 --> 17:02.180
I'm any right before this being picked up by wildcard due to their unfortunate circumstances with agent

17:02.180 --> 17:07.640
But being able to come and slot himself onto this team with very little prep and then being able to send me

17:07.640 --> 17:12.560
Sheen to get another main stage appearance. I mean he is making dividends happen

17:12.560 --> 17:18.000
What a beast. Hot and cold fans in the building right? I thought so. I think so. Yeah, I love

17:18.000 --> 17:21.760
hot and cold. Can't wait to see him on the stage. Let's talk about moments. We've had a lot

17:21.760 --> 17:24.800
in the build up too this weekend but there's one that stood out to you. Whether they're

17:24.800 --> 17:28.400
heartbreaking, whether they're heartwarming, this is definitely one that's going to be heartwarming

17:28.400 --> 17:34.000
for the Aussie boys. The boys down under, they make history here today. They make an appearance

17:34.000 --> 17:38.320
here on the main stage that in all of the blast circuit, we haven't seen that yet and on all of

17:38.320 --> 17:43.400
of the history. It's been six years since we've seen an APAC Aussie team to be able

17:43.400 --> 17:48.340
to make main stage and you see the man behind the neck. He is also the one was that representation

17:48.340 --> 17:53.400
back then in 2024. I mean 2020 on that fanatic roster. I mean he's brought so much energy

17:53.400 --> 17:56.800
to the team and I think it's something that's been talked about in the OCE region is imagine

17:56.800 --> 17:59.960
having the five best players you possibly could from your region in their respective

17:59.960 --> 18:03.840
role on a team. Now they have it and they're proving it themselves making it to the main

18:03.840 --> 18:08.240
guys limit the boys from down there gunning for glory let's talk about the

18:08.240 --> 18:15.840
must see shall we it's a matchup here today is g2 versus Shopify rebellion it's

18:15.840 --> 18:21.000
stomping versus spoy it's a star studded a fairlax cannot wait for this I mean

18:21.000 --> 18:23.360
this would be a beautiful one to watch and it's funny because when you look at

18:23.360 --> 18:26.960
both sides of the coin I mean you have spoiled an EU playing in NA you have

18:26.960 --> 18:31.800
stomping from NA playing in EU either way crowd is going to be supporting both

18:31.800 --> 18:38.800
I'm into so many parallels when you look at this team, just the amount of all-star players on both rosters, what they bring to the table.

18:38.800 --> 18:43.800
You can even look at the IGLs with Canadian and Alamow, there's just so much history between these two rosters.

18:43.800 --> 18:47.800
I mean, I'm biased, but I cannot wait to see my boy Canadian here in action.

18:47.800 --> 18:51.800
I know that the fans are going to love seeing him on stage as well.

18:51.800 --> 18:57.800
Speaking of the fans, it wouldn't be a major without them, and our boy Jonah has been out talking. See you guys.

18:57.800 --> 19:03.940
I'm here with Bryson and Gabbo two fans seated on the front row. You guys must have gotten here early

19:03.940 --> 19:09.040
I see the phase emblem. I can take it who you're rooting for what time did you guys get here this morning to get such good seats?

19:09.040 --> 19:15.720
Doors open at 9 30, but we were at 7 30 right in early. Yeah, amazing amazing Gabba. I'm loving the drip. You're looking good

19:15.720 --> 19:21.640
I don't see a logo though. Who are you rooting for to take this thing? I love Darcy. I'm going for dark. She'll for sure

19:21.640 --> 19:23.640
Oh, favorite player on DarkZero?

19:23.640 --> 19:24.640
NJR.

19:24.640 --> 19:26.640
Hell yeah, that is a great choice.

19:26.640 --> 19:28.640
I know what we can expect you guys to bring the energy this weekend.

19:28.640 --> 19:32.640
Have you had a chance to check out the photo booth, the SSG booth, anything like that?

19:32.640 --> 19:37.640
Oh yeah, we got the free backpacks, the DokaBee backpacks, the Seen the Trophy, everything looks sick here.

19:37.640 --> 19:40.640
Incredible. Well, we got the demo booth, so many other things for you guys to check out.

19:40.640 --> 19:42.640
Excited to have you guys here this weekend.

19:42.640 --> 19:43.640
Thank you.

19:43.640 --> 19:44.640
Back to you guys.

19:44.640 --> 19:45.640
Magical.

19:45.640 --> 19:48.640
This goes out to all my Singaporeans.

19:51.640 --> 19:52.640
Try that as well.

19:55.640 --> 19:56.640
Oh, shit!

20:00.640 --> 20:01.640
No!

20:02.640 --> 20:03.640
Fuck!

20:08.640 --> 20:09.640
Fuck!

20:17.640 --> 20:18.640
What?

20:18.640 --> 20:20.640
Oh, my God!

20:20.640 --> 20:22.640
Oh, my God!

20:22.640 --> 20:24.640
Oh, my God!

20:24.640 --> 20:26.640
Oh, my God!

20:26.640 --> 20:28.640
Whoa!

20:28.640 --> 20:30.640
My prima.

20:30.640 --> 20:32.640
KDs is the most nonchalant guy in the world.

20:32.640 --> 20:34.640
Nothing gets this guy hyped up.

20:34.640 --> 20:36.640
He wins back-to-back hammers,

20:36.640 --> 20:38.640
and he still shows no emotion in there.

20:38.640 --> 20:40.640
He just swish nothing.

20:40.640 --> 20:41.640
Cold as ice. Love that guy.

20:41.640 --> 20:43.640
And there's a reason why he's a two-time world champion.

20:43.640 --> 20:46.640
Absolutely. All right, let's talk about our first quarterfinal.

20:46.640 --> 20:53.440
Shall we we are minutes away from bringing our first two teams on to the stage two teams representing their regions

20:53.640 --> 20:59.720
Enterprise versus twisted minds. Let's start with the boys from down under shall we I absolutely

21:00.280 --> 21:07.480
Love this story enterprise. What a team. What a story and they are full of momentum. I mean, they've proven themselves

21:07.480 --> 21:10.760
I think they should be proud themselves of being able to make it this far

21:10.760 --> 21:14.800
I mean so much history on this team of players consistently trying to make it events

21:14.800 --> 21:21.680
Consistently trying to make it to the main stage and like you mentioned in earlier last the last time an OCE team has made it to the main stage

21:21.680 --> 21:29.720
Was six years ago in 2020 and that roster was fanatic and now there's one common denominator when you look all the way back to that

21:29.720 --> 21:32.360
That roster it's mad. It's mad

21:32.360 --> 21:36.680
He was the IGL for that roster that carried them all the way to that main stage now

21:36.680 --> 21:41.500
He's the coach for enterprise behind them being able to bring that experience. What worked in the past

21:41.500 --> 21:47.940
What's working now? He has such a vision for the game and he's been able to not only instill that but bring so much confidence to this rock

21:47.940 --> 21:53.340
Yeah, you know you want to talk about confidence just being able to make history says something for these players as an individual that they know

21:53.340 --> 21:54.540
That they can do it themselves

21:54.540 --> 21:57.700
But when they do it as a unit when they do it as a team when they have the support for Megan

21:57.700 --> 22:01.540
The sky really is the limit and none of these players have reached main stage yet

22:01.540 --> 22:05.220
But to have magnet behind you to be able to push you to your limits

22:05.220 --> 22:07.220
I mean they really can make magic happen

22:07.220 --> 22:11.560
But I mean players that they do have reaching limits is Jigsaw and Brenda

22:11.560 --> 22:16.340
I mean those players with mag behind them have been able to absolutely decimate their way

22:16.340 --> 22:19.640
There are two players within the top 10 of the remaining players in the tournament

22:19.640 --> 22:24.060
They haven't played phenomenally well when it comes to their respective roles one on the front one on the back

22:24.060 --> 22:28.700
And they're able to consistently find these kills find these openings. I mean Jigsaw. I mean himself

22:28.700 --> 22:31.220
He's had a run going from EU coming back

22:31.220 --> 22:35.340
back, Brendo on bliss, consistently making through events, but never reaching the main

22:35.340 --> 22:38.740
stage. Now they really have every piece of the puzzle that they need.

22:38.740 --> 22:41.820
They really do. And they cannot wait to prove what they can do, Charlotte, but they're

22:41.820 --> 22:45.500
going to have to do it up against another team looking to wreck their region hard. And

22:45.500 --> 22:50.180
they are coming into this event, cooking on gas. Twisted mines. Yeah, I mean, twisted

22:50.180 --> 22:54.500
mines, they are looking absolutely devastating for all of these teams that they're going

22:54.500 --> 22:58.140
up against. They have been demolishing them. And to say the least, I mean, we look at this

22:58.140 --> 23:02.220
roster clearly the defense has been the bread and butter for this team they're

23:02.220 --> 23:06.620
currently winning at 68% of the time and it really speaks into just how well

23:06.620 --> 23:10.460
that they're playing systematically on that defensive end and again a lot of

23:10.460 --> 23:14.740
these players are doing so well with the information they love the information

23:14.740 --> 23:18.100
game whether that's on attacker defense or using that solid snake they use the

23:18.100 --> 23:21.820
doki but they're not defense not only do they use the information they also like

23:21.820 --> 23:25.180
the trap they like using the Ella they like using the Fenrir the Thor and the

23:25.180 --> 23:29.620
solos. This is a team that knows how to systematically play a defense set up

23:29.620 --> 23:33.860
very strategically but it goes into question. Are we going to see enterprise

23:33.860 --> 23:38.260
go into the bands and try to alleviate some of that information from them and

23:38.260 --> 23:40.900
see how they can work with in those times. I mean that's the biggest question.

23:40.900 --> 23:44.460
If information is shut down are they going to be able to capitalize on it? I

23:44.460 --> 23:47.740
mean they have the players they play off of that aggressive info. I mean

23:47.740 --> 23:49.900
Hachoma is one of those players on the realm that you're always going to be

23:49.900 --> 23:53.100
scared to go up against because they're consistently moving playing off of that

23:53.100 --> 23:56.500
But if that info is not there, I can't be too worried for Twisted Mind.

23:56.500 --> 23:58.500
They're still going to make the plays based off of each other,

23:58.500 --> 24:01.500
based off of the situation, because they are fearless.

24:01.500 --> 24:03.500
Let's take a look at P9 and guards.

24:03.500 --> 24:05.500
Two players that we are obviously absolutely,

24:05.500 --> 24:08.000
and definitely we need to see Steph appear in this quarterfinal.

24:08.000 --> 24:10.000
Yeah, I mean, they've been the ones who have really been delivering

24:10.000 --> 24:12.500
for this team specifically, especially on P9.

24:12.500 --> 24:15.500
He's using a lot of that information, using a lot of that solid snake,

24:15.500 --> 24:18.500
being able to move players around, but especially for guards,

24:18.500 --> 24:20.500
being that spearhead on those shields.

24:20.500 --> 24:23.580
I need to see these two in synchronization, especially

24:23.580 --> 24:25.180
in those early rounds, open up rounds,

24:25.180 --> 24:27.020
get picks going into the favor, and then let

24:27.020 --> 24:29.820
Hashom prod and pride around a site,

24:29.820 --> 24:31.140
open up certain scenarios.

24:31.140 --> 24:32.620
So once they get to that late round,

24:32.620 --> 24:34.660
JLAD can come and take control of the round,

24:34.660 --> 24:36.260
set up for those executes, because that's

24:36.260 --> 24:38.620
where they've really been struggling is on those attacks.

24:38.620 --> 24:40.780
But I do believe that P9 can find rhythm,

24:40.780 --> 24:43.500
find that tempo with guards, alongside added with Hashom

24:43.500 --> 24:44.580
in the middle of there.

24:44.580 --> 24:46.860
This team can make magic happen once they finish

24:46.860 --> 24:48.220
onto those attacks, and once they get

24:48.220 --> 24:49.900
to those late round executes.

24:49.900 --> 24:55.180
Let's take a look at picks and fans coming into our first quarter final here.

24:55.180 --> 24:58.220
So crucial one of these two teams will dip out here and now.

24:58.220 --> 25:00.420
The other will make it into the 70s.

25:00.420 --> 25:04.140
Caffe, this is an interesting one for me, I mean, for all of the EP.

25:04.140 --> 25:06.180
I mean, when you look at this team as a whole,

25:06.180 --> 25:09.980
they don't have the strongest maps in terms of how well they've played on them.

25:09.980 --> 25:13.540
I mean, these first two maps in general have not played into their favor.

25:13.540 --> 25:16.140
And then when you look on the side of the twisted minds,

25:16.140 --> 25:18.980
especially on a map like Caffe, that's where they had that big comeback.

25:18.980 --> 25:22.900
That's where it's sent them here to be able to make it on main stage versus G2

25:22.900 --> 25:24.660
They're definitely gonna be in the driver's seat here

25:24.660 --> 25:30.860
But what I want to see on this defense is very early aggression from EP and then being able to dial it back being able to get that man

25:30.860 --> 25:34.820
Advantage play into those layers and force twisted mind isn't the unwinnable position

25:34.820 --> 25:38.620
I mean when you're looking at the maps, it doesn't look good for enterprise. That's map being map 3

25:38.620 --> 25:39.980
They have to make it all the way there

25:39.980 --> 25:43.220
They're gonna take the less evil because twisted mind have a look so good

25:43.220 --> 25:48.380
They haven't dropped the map when it comes to the tournament so when it no when it's the first essential cafe

25:48.380 --> 25:50.380
that's the best of the two

25:50.380 --> 25:51.380
evens. I'd agree. It's the only

25:51.380 --> 25:52.380
situation where Twisted Minds

25:52.380 --> 25:54.380
looked like they were in

25:54.380 --> 25:55.380
detriment to almost losing.

25:55.380 --> 25:57.380
Super snappy. Who's winning?

25:57.380 --> 25:58.380
I'm going with the boys down

25:58.380 --> 25:59.380
under. I'll go with

25:59.380 --> 26:00.380
Twisted Minds then. I love

26:00.380 --> 26:02.380
that. All right, let's get into

26:02.380 --> 26:03.380
this first quarter final.

26:09.380 --> 26:12.380
Of course, we had to dip the

26:12.380 --> 26:14.380
lights out for this one

26:14.380 --> 26:17.380
because obviously our theme is

26:17.380 --> 26:20.740
is the fact that darkness is your ally.

26:20.740 --> 26:24.420
There's a huge mining history here in Salt Lake City,

26:24.420 --> 26:27.540
and our players are deep within the mines right now,

26:27.540 --> 26:30.340
and they've got to dig deep to get into that semi-final.

26:30.340 --> 26:32.900
Let's welcome our first team onto the stage.

27:17.380 --> 27:24.080
from down under the first Australian team to ever reach the Black

27:24.080 --> 27:32.440
Asics major playoffs after years of heartbreaking near misses. OCE's long

27:32.440 --> 27:40.000
way ends here. They're not leaving without a fight.

27:40.000 --> 27:47.000
and their opponents.

28:10.000 --> 28:37.280
The men at Breakout Squad went straight from Challenger Series to undefeated in Swiss,

28:37.280 --> 28:43.280
They're announcing themselves as the new global threat that no one saw coming.

28:43.280 --> 28:47.280
Pure aggression meets major stage hunger.

28:47.280 --> 28:51.280
And this is their moment to shock the establishment.

29:07.280 --> 29:24.160
I'm going to start with you this must feel quite nostalgic being back on a stage like

29:24.160 --> 29:28.640
this feels really good to be back especially in front of so many fans appreciate everyone

29:28.640 --> 29:33.320
coming out and hopefully we'll show you guys some good things today are you ready for this

29:33.320 --> 29:36.800
opportunity. Yeah we are ready to live the trophy not just against Enterprise.

29:36.800 --> 29:41.120
This is my third time in the Ministry but I hope this time is different weight.

29:41.120 --> 29:46.600
I love the confidence guys can we get a quick handshake. Best of luck to both of

29:46.600 --> 29:51.880
you. Here we go let's get this major kicked off with the boys who've come all

29:51.880 --> 29:57.720
the way from Britain. It's Asian Dez. Thank you very much Mr. Chambers indeed.

29:57.720 --> 30:02.160
Here we are guys for the first game of the day. I'm Dez, this is Tim and this one

30:02.160 --> 30:06.040
It's a secret banger in waiting. I don't know how that it's that secret

30:06.040 --> 30:08.440
There's nothing waiting for this side for the last couple of days

30:09.040 --> 30:14.520
Absolutely hiked about it. I think it's gonna be a phenomenal game. I think everybody here and they know it as well

30:15.160 --> 30:18.880
Absolutely look for these boys. It's I said yesterday on the social media

30:18.880 --> 30:20.640
You've got a lot of big teams playing today

30:20.640 --> 30:24.240
I think this one's gonna be a sleeper for me a lot of people are back in twisted minds

30:24.240 --> 30:27.200
But I think I think enterprise has got something to show today

30:27.200 --> 30:29.840
So don't think this is gonna be a quick one. No, I agree

30:29.840 --> 30:32.040
I don't think it's going to be straightforward by any means,

30:32.040 --> 30:35.160
both of these teams showing that they've got some serious ability,

30:35.160 --> 30:37.840
not just to win rounds, but to fight back as well.

30:37.840 --> 30:41.240
If they do find themselves behind, it is absolutely not all,

30:41.240 --> 30:44.960
but for either of these two, and, yeah, I think we're in for a big one.

30:44.960 --> 30:46.320
One of my favourite stats from yesterday

30:46.320 --> 30:49.640
is that Enterprise are our most clutch team at the tournament.

30:49.640 --> 30:52.400
In 16% of junctures, they have the ability to clutch.

30:52.400 --> 30:55.480
They pulled it off when no-one else has quite managed to match that level yet,

30:55.480 --> 30:57.400
and they've done so across 10 maps.

30:57.400 --> 31:03.560
One thing that I'm interested to see today, of course, is how that kind of stage experience affects both teams.

31:03.560 --> 31:07.120
A little bit of a lack of it on the side of enterprise, it's fair to say.

31:07.120 --> 31:10.880
Whereas on the side of Twisted Minds, a few of those players have been through this before.

31:10.880 --> 31:15.560
They've done very well on NA soil before. You know, they know what it's all about.

31:15.560 --> 31:18.280
I spoke to the boys backstage before we came around here and I said to them,

31:18.280 --> 31:23.080
you've been here three times before. You've made top eight at NA LAN, surely?

31:23.080 --> 31:26.440
This is your time to see it over the line and they said, you'd hope so, right?

31:26.440 --> 31:29.760
And I was like, yes, let's hear the confidence back yourselves to do it.

31:29.760 --> 31:32.960
It's a golden time to do it, and it's of course no slight enterprise.

31:32.960 --> 31:36.600
This is probably their best chance of getting it done and over the line, in my opinion.

31:36.600 --> 31:40.880
Yeah, I'd agree with you. I think, you know, the draw has maybe been favourable for both of them.

31:40.880 --> 31:44.480
I think they both come in here with a very realistic chance of a semi-final.

31:44.480 --> 31:47.480
It's not like you've... And it's not just that, you know, to us, mine's already beat G2.

31:47.480 --> 31:51.680
It's not to say that just because you draw a G2 or a phase that you can't go on and do it,

31:51.680 --> 31:55.680
but I just feel like there's a real opportunity here for these two, you know,

31:55.680 --> 31:58.120
one of them to be the first men in the semifinals,

31:58.120 --> 32:02.120
one of them to be the first or seed team in a semifinal of a major.

32:02.120 --> 32:05.040
There's so much history that's going to be written here today,

32:05.040 --> 32:07.320
no matter what the outcome is.

32:07.320 --> 32:09.280
I've got a tiny pause before we get into game, Tim,

32:09.280 --> 32:12.120
and this one's a classic, but it's your first time on stage.

32:12.120 --> 32:14.120
Toilet break.

32:14.120 --> 32:16.320
See how on stage you go, oh, no, got to go pee.

32:16.320 --> 32:19.840
And then in that case now, we're just waiting for ourselves to get into the game.

32:19.840 --> 32:21.040
You've already seen as well the maps, Tim,

32:21.040 --> 32:22.760
cap it to kick things off.

32:22.760 --> 32:24.760
I'm really excited about that.

32:24.760 --> 32:26.760
If you get their fortress between these two,

32:26.760 --> 32:28.760
they've played it so well all tournament long.

32:28.760 --> 32:30.760
I didn't see them on that map.

32:30.760 --> 32:32.760
Yeah, I already want to see fortress.

32:32.760 --> 32:34.760
I think everybody else is going to want to as well.

32:34.760 --> 32:38.760
You know, we're in the wonderful Salt Palace here in Salt Lake City.

32:38.760 --> 32:41.760
It's filled up nicely for this big game to kick us off.

32:41.760 --> 32:44.760
Everybody is ready for a day full of quarterfinals,

32:44.760 --> 32:47.760
and you and I, we're just along for the ride, really, yes?

32:47.760 --> 32:49.760
You've got no choice but to sit there and come along for the ride,

32:49.760 --> 32:50.760
I think, at some point.

32:50.760 --> 32:57.760
You just gotta let it go where it's gonna go. Let that mine car run away and show us what they can do.

32:57.760 --> 33:01.760
It's gonna be a long day as you said. Four quarter finals we've got coming up today.

33:01.760 --> 33:05.760
Four best of threes. It could be a long one but every single game just feels like an absolute streamer.

33:05.760 --> 33:11.760
Of course not also forgetting. This feels like the first time in forever we've only had one Brazilian team in the four finals.

33:11.760 --> 33:12.760
What's going on there?

33:12.760 --> 33:16.760
Huge deal. There's so many stories gonna be written not just today but over the weekend.

33:16.760 --> 33:18.760
the end of all of this, but the

33:18.760 --> 33:20.760
face Falcons matchup later on

33:20.760 --> 33:21.760
basically one of them. It's going

33:21.760 --> 33:23.760
to be the first time they don't

33:23.760 --> 33:25.760
make to pay in a long time. And

33:25.760 --> 33:27.760
that is inevitable. It's crazy

33:27.760 --> 33:29.760
to think honestly just last year

33:29.760 --> 33:30.760
you and I cast that exact

33:30.760 --> 33:32.760
Brown final. Yes, I am Boston.

33:32.760 --> 33:34.760
Yeah, one of those two teams must

33:34.760 --> 33:36.760
go home and they're going to

33:36.760 --> 33:38.760
get the job done. They're going

33:38.760 --> 33:40.760
to get the job done. They're

33:40.760 --> 33:42.760
going to get the job done. They're

33:42.760 --> 33:43.760
going to get the job done. They're

33:43.760 --> 33:44.760
going to get the job done. They're

33:44.760 --> 33:51.760
Yeah, one of those two teams must go home on day one, if by us doesn't even make it to the setting. It's crazy. And the thing is, it's all based on seeding.

33:51.760 --> 33:57.260
You know, you've got to look at that and say, Falcons have kind of done it to themselves. Tim phase, obviously breeze through phase one as well.

33:57.260 --> 34:03.660
And dare I say, I know we're all saying, Oh, there's only one Brazilian team. It is phase that was speaking about the back to back world champion.

34:03.660 --> 34:10.860
That's the problem, isn't it? I think I said it on cast the other day, we were talking about it during one of the games and the fact that phase really only Brazilians left came up.

34:10.860 --> 34:13.820
and I said, yeah, but they're still going to win it, don't they?

34:13.820 --> 34:15.420
It doesn't always matter.

34:15.420 --> 34:18.180
So we will see whether the first are able to get it done or not.

34:18.180 --> 34:21.380
But of course, we would need to settle a little thing here

34:21.380 --> 34:23.900
between Enterprise and Twisted Minds before we do that

34:23.900 --> 34:26.340
and find out who our first semi-finalist is.

34:26.340 --> 34:27.940
I don't think we're too far away now.

34:27.940 --> 34:31.140
We can see a little bit of a huddle coming in from Enterprise.

34:31.140 --> 34:34.460
Man just wanting those last few words to his team.

34:34.700 --> 34:37.940
Maybe just calming a few nerves as well before we get the game underway.

34:38.100 --> 34:40.260
This is the thing we heard them speaking about the other day.

34:40.260 --> 34:42.500
when they haven't played great throughout the stages so far,

34:42.500 --> 34:44.340
it's when they've lost that confidence.

34:44.340 --> 34:46.100
The thing I've loved about Enterprise,

34:46.100 --> 34:47.900
all competition along so far,

34:47.900 --> 34:50.380
they talk absolute shit in the chat.

34:50.380 --> 34:52.300
And it is the best thing to watch.

34:52.300 --> 34:53.740
But that is when they're at the best,

34:53.740 --> 34:54.860
when they're bringing with confidence,

34:54.860 --> 34:58.500
when they're going all out on a psychological warfare basis,

34:58.500 --> 34:59.700
they come out on top.

34:59.700 --> 35:00.740
But if they let that dip,

35:00.740 --> 35:03.860
and I think here on a live stage that can be an impact,

35:03.860 --> 35:06.860
who knows, as long as the right team turns up today,

35:06.860 --> 35:08.220
this one's anyone's game.

35:08.220 --> 35:10.180
But it's like I said, when they were playing against Falkens,

35:10.180 --> 35:12.180
players. You know, they're not

35:12.180 --> 35:14.180
in their own room anymore. They

35:14.180 --> 35:16.180
know here in front of a big

35:16.180 --> 35:18.180
crowd ready to, you know, cheer

35:18.180 --> 35:20.180
and support both of these teams,

35:20.180 --> 35:22.180
but can they get it done under

35:22.180 --> 35:24.180
the bright lights under the

35:24.180 --> 35:26.180
pressure? Can they keep that

35:26.180 --> 35:28.180
phone? I think that's the

35:28.180 --> 35:30.180
important thing. I think if you

35:30.180 --> 35:32.180
see enterprise going quiet, if

35:32.180 --> 35:34.180
you see enterprise going quiet,

35:34.180 --> 35:36.180
if you see enterprise going

35:36.180 --> 35:38.180
quiet, if you see enterprise

35:38.180 --> 35:43.180
I think if you see Enterprise going quiet, if you see maybe, you know, the chat dying down a little bit,

35:43.180 --> 35:46.180
that's when we might see Twisted Minds getting on top of things.

35:46.180 --> 35:48.180
I know both teams have been gagging for it as well.

35:48.180 --> 35:53.180
I had a good chat with Twisted Minds boys in the hotel yesterday, and last night they looked cool as cucumbers.

35:53.180 --> 35:55.180
They were dead ready.

35:55.180 --> 35:57.180
Guards are sensitive, make you play them, believe me about it.

35:57.180 --> 35:59.180
You sure you're not your brother?

35:59.180 --> 36:01.180
He was like, I promise I'm not.

36:01.180 --> 36:03.180
But no, they're very much excited for it.

36:03.180 --> 36:06.180
Both teams are, as you've probably come to expect, still for Enterprise, maybe the pressure's there a little bit more than most.

36:06.180 --> 36:11.620
you'd hope the experience of Mag, of course, stepping in as their coach recently can do a hell

36:11.620 --> 36:15.940
of a lot for them. Final few checks here and then game will be underway. Well, you know, it's very

36:15.940 --> 36:20.020
good point that you make then. Mag, of course, has been on the biggest stage of all. You know,

36:20.020 --> 36:25.300
Mag's been there, he's been on that six-invitational stage with Fnatic in the past. He knows what

36:25.300 --> 36:30.660
it's all about and the question now is just how much can he impart that knowledge, impart that

36:30.660 --> 36:34.500
experience to his team, so that it can have an effect for them.

36:36.100 --> 36:38.100
That's a couple of tech checks I think going on before we jump in.

36:38.100 --> 36:40.180
A reminder again, our first map is Calvay.

36:40.180 --> 36:41.700
That is Enterprise's map pick.

36:42.260 --> 36:44.820
If they're going to start out strong anywhere, Tim, it should be here.

36:44.820 --> 36:48.580
But Twisted Minds have a 3-0 record on it over the last six months.

36:48.580 --> 36:50.260
They don't mind playing this map.

36:50.260 --> 36:52.100
And then they step into the halls of Clubhouse,

36:52.100 --> 36:54.740
where Twisted Minds played excellently the other day.

36:54.740 --> 36:57.860
And for Enterprise, it's not a map they've had a win on over the last six months.

36:57.860 --> 37:00.100
So if we can get through those first two maps, and it's 1-1,

37:00.660 --> 37:03.740
For my money, Fortress has to be the decider.

37:05.780 --> 37:07.340
I think we all want to see it, no?

37:07.340 --> 37:08.980
We're all ready.

37:08.980 --> 37:10.260
When have you got one round yet?

37:10.260 --> 37:14.020
And we're ready for 45, just ready to see

37:14.020 --> 37:16.620
every single inch of this match up.

37:16.620 --> 37:20.980
You get to see our trophy there before we head into Caffe.

37:20.980 --> 37:21.820
Well, it's all late sitting.

37:21.820 --> 37:24.100
Let's get ready for a banger of a Vesta 3

37:24.100 --> 37:26.940
to get our quarter final Friday underway.

37:26.940 --> 37:29.980
Enterprise versus Twisted Mines here on Caffe.

37:29.980 --> 37:32.740
You're all back in Twisted Minds, but Tim, like I said,

37:32.740 --> 37:35.140
I think there's a twist in this tale yet to come.

37:35.140 --> 37:38.540
I get the feeling as well that Enterprise are the sort of team

37:38.540 --> 37:41.220
that will be more than happy to be the underdogs.

37:41.220 --> 37:44.940
They'll be more than happy to come in the air and try and get an upset.

37:44.940 --> 37:48.660
They don't care, you know, whether people are back in there, not back in there.

37:48.660 --> 37:51.300
I think they'll be more than suited with their position.

37:52.060 --> 37:54.940
All right, let's get into what Operator Bands, first and foremost, Tim.

37:54.940 --> 37:57.140
Azami being taken offline.

37:57.140 --> 38:00.580
Shot was the first one to pass the shots in the chat as well.

38:00.580 --> 38:04.420
But like you say, the Xami and the Monti has been taken away as the first two bands here.

38:04.420 --> 38:06.140
The Monti, not a massive surprise.

38:06.140 --> 38:08.980
We have seen Enterprise wheel it out as and when necessary.

38:08.980 --> 38:10.980
Cairo, their main shield player.

38:10.980 --> 38:13.260
And Dockabee also going to follow. That's a really good band.

38:13.260 --> 38:15.460
Both of these teams love playing solid snake.

38:15.460 --> 38:19.140
And when he's not available, they jump over towards playing on the decay beat instead.

38:19.140 --> 38:24.780
But I think that having at least one taken away there means they know they're going to come up against the solid snake in the majority of rounds.

38:24.780 --> 38:30.780
I think they'll have a plan for that, so we've seen teams making good use of Mute to completely deceive the Snake and punish them for it.

38:30.780 --> 38:38.280
Yeah, Mute is the big one at the minute. There's a couple of counters for Snake, Alibi being another one of course, but yeah, Mute has really been the choice.

38:38.280 --> 38:43.780
Get out there on the run, because the thing is, you can combine it with a mozzie as well, for example. We've seen that so many times.

38:43.780 --> 38:51.780
Take the mozzie, take the Mute, just completely black out a floor, and then when Snake's trying to work his way through, surprise, you stood in a Mute jammer.

38:51.780 --> 38:55.780
We saw it. You know G2 got caught out with it. It was on the exact map as well.

38:55.780 --> 38:59.780
On this exact map, just straight in. Yep, we've got the all clear from the solo top radar.

38:59.780 --> 39:04.780
Straight in through mine in window. Run into train. Ah! There's a pulse stood in a huge hammer.

39:04.780 --> 39:10.780
Yes. And that was it. It was game over, so yeah, definitely something that I think we'll see if we start seeing that snake player creeping.

39:10.780 --> 39:14.780
Not picked up yet in the first round, but...

39:14.780 --> 39:20.780
Okay. I think it's a... I think on Cafe you're gonna see most of your snake player for kitchen attacks.

39:20.780 --> 39:27.020
kitchen attacks. Yeah, because you don't really need to do too much, but you do need to clear top floor, but you can't

39:27.020 --> 39:33.140
know where everybody's going to be if it's a reading hold or a minding hold, for example. So you don't need to worry about finding them too much.

39:33.580 --> 39:39.460
Why I love about the difference between these two teams is for those who've been eagle-eyed throughout the competition, we are very much in a trap

39:39.460 --> 39:44.700
meta right now, because you need to hold an awful lot of them out, be very, very aggressive around them because attackers are just so

39:44.700 --> 39:50.060
strong right now. Just in mind, they love that. They will play into the February. They'll play a lot of soloists.

39:50.060 --> 39:52.380
The cinema, of course, running around with a lot of thorn.

39:52.380 --> 39:55.700
On the other side, Enterprise will play more old-school style.

39:55.700 --> 39:57.780
They'll sit in behind mirrors, for example.

39:57.780 --> 39:59.460
They'll play a lot of warden, a lot of goyre,

39:59.460 --> 40:00.940
and they'll try and slow things down.

40:00.940 --> 40:02.380
So I'm very curious to see if that changes

40:02.380 --> 40:04.660
all throughout the series, but, twist and minus,

40:04.660 --> 40:05.860
they're carrying on as they start.

40:05.860 --> 40:07.580
It's in your soul, you've got the Fenrir,

40:07.580 --> 40:09.340
you've got the Valt, they want to be busy.

40:09.340 --> 40:11.260
And shock Horatim, the show,

40:11.260 --> 40:12.980
he's taking device outside the map.

40:12.980 --> 40:15.340
Yeah, getting really aggressive there, upon Red's stairs,

40:15.340 --> 40:16.980
just as soon as he hears that hack,

40:16.980 --> 40:18.660
I'm going to go and have a look.

40:18.660 --> 40:25.340
I'm going to see what I can get done, but at the minute, Enterprise not really leaning too strongly towards getting inside of the map above.

40:25.340 --> 40:29.580
It's been more about softening up Bakerie, softening up this ground floor.

40:29.580 --> 40:34.580
P9 is one to keep your eye on. It's a position I always point out. He's playing out in VIP.

40:34.580 --> 40:42.300
He's on the smoke. He needs to be dealt with. And some point during this round, unless the focus is going to be 100% towards Bakerie,

40:42.300 --> 40:46.420
which doesn't look the case right now, as Enterprise get themselves up onto the roof.

40:46.420 --> 40:49.380
It is very late to start that top floor down clearance.

40:49.380 --> 40:51.620
It is, but it's also coming up a lot against Twisted Vines.

40:51.620 --> 40:53.380
We've been very aggressive out on that road.

40:53.380 --> 40:55.340
And the nice thing about it for them, I suppose,

40:55.340 --> 40:58.700
is you're not going to have too much utility to have to deal with on site.

40:58.700 --> 41:01.820
There isn't going to be all those goyos that we often see set up downstairs.

41:01.820 --> 41:03.460
So you can afford to be a little bit slower.

41:03.460 --> 41:06.180
Plus, Tim, they have got a bit of a amount of vertical control set up here.

41:06.180 --> 41:07.460
With a minute or so to go,

41:07.460 --> 41:09.100
this is still plenty of time to make it work.

41:09.100 --> 41:12.900
The important part being they survived the initial onslaught with Twisted Vines.

41:12.900 --> 41:15.500
Cairo's got himself onto light stairs on the blitz.

41:15.500 --> 41:18.780
It's going to be his job, possibly, to clear IP 90.

41:18.780 --> 41:21.780
He's just kind of holding at the minute where it is for that opportunity,

41:21.780 --> 41:24.020
whilst all this vertical work goes on.

41:24.020 --> 41:25.940
Brenda manages to pick up chill-out.

41:25.940 --> 41:30.620
That's going to be our first kill of the quarter-final here in Solid City.

41:30.620 --> 41:32.340
And we see the work continuing here.

41:32.340 --> 41:35.460
It's the challenge onto P9, but P9 wins it,

41:35.460 --> 41:40.420
and they might just have lost their ability to clear the smoke out of VIP.

41:40.420 --> 41:44.420
But no! Brenda, second in the round, he finds the weirdes!

41:44.420 --> 41:47.540
You're going to see these guys throwing haymaker after haymaker at each of them.

41:47.540 --> 41:50.180
They will pursue these kills to the ends of the earth.

41:50.180 --> 41:54.260
Asshon, we saw him get a brilliant kill on to Alomar in this spot just the other day,

41:54.260 --> 41:55.620
because he went undroned him.

41:55.620 --> 41:57.700
I love this rotation from Tricks.

41:57.700 --> 42:02.340
P9 has been taken out of VIP, but this allowed him to get a little bit more aggressive.

42:02.340 --> 42:05.460
Because Tricks backing him up and Tricks does a job,

42:05.460 --> 42:10.580
gets a kill on to Brendon, but not before he found his own two-hand there for the trade.

42:10.580 --> 42:12.900
Three versus one, it's all up to guards.

42:12.900 --> 42:15.860
Three seconds to go, but the diffuser is being planted.

42:15.860 --> 42:19.660
This clock will be extended guards moving through the side.

42:19.660 --> 42:22.100
As you said, how big a tournament he has had.

42:22.100 --> 42:23.980
Will he be able to come up big for his team now?

42:23.980 --> 42:26.180
That's the first two more to find.

42:26.180 --> 42:28.580
Two hunts really low here, 1 HP, will it be enough?

42:28.580 --> 42:32.100
But no, he hits the shot, the head shot coming back.

42:32.100 --> 42:36.500
First round of this quarterfinal goes the way of the Aussies.

42:36.500 --> 42:39.420
Huge start, that's exactly what Mike Willough wanted for his team.

42:39.420 --> 42:44.620
come in there, get that first round, put a marker down, settle the nerves a little bit,

42:44.620 --> 42:48.700
find a bit of confidence, and maybe, just maybe, get in the chat a little bit.

42:48.700 --> 42:50.580
Oh, already been there, already there, team.

42:50.580 --> 42:55.260
Well, that's the way it's gotta be, and P9's coming back with us, we will see, we will see.

42:55.260 --> 42:58.620
Because we've done a lot throughout this tournament so far, team, we've seen P9,

42:58.620 --> 43:01.260
although it might not be the prolific entry fragger for the team,

43:01.260 --> 43:04.140
Hoshom is normally the one taking the entries.

43:04.140 --> 43:08.220
P9 very consistently in the mid-ban has been a guy picking up two, three kills

43:08.220 --> 43:11.660
to make sure they can convert early advantages into round wins.

43:11.660 --> 43:13.660
I'm very much excited to see what he can do

43:13.660 --> 43:15.180
as we move through this series,

43:15.180 --> 43:17.980
but what a fantastic first round for Brendo Tim.

43:17.980 --> 43:19.980
Three kills for himself to get this underway.

43:19.980 --> 43:21.420
A great round for Enterprise.

43:21.420 --> 43:24.700
I really like that because they showed some adaptability there as well.

43:24.700 --> 43:27.500
They went and had a little pork at Baker, and they had a one,

43:27.500 --> 43:28.780
and it wasn't happening.

43:28.780 --> 43:31.020
So they said, right, OK, plan B.

43:31.020 --> 43:32.940
We move upstairs. There was no panic to them.

43:32.940 --> 43:35.420
I said there was only a minute 40 left on the top

43:35.420 --> 43:37.020
when they were heading up to the roof.

43:37.020 --> 43:39.460
I was a little bit concerned about the time they had left.

43:39.460 --> 43:44.140
They dealt with VIP, a tough position to deal with, not downstairs, but twice.

43:44.140 --> 43:46.980
They took P9 out of there, they took Tricks out of there.

43:46.980 --> 43:50.380
They had the answers at every step of the way.

43:50.380 --> 43:53.660
Really solid start from Enterprise, very impressed.

43:55.300 --> 43:57.860
Reggie Teens, I think no team really has team,

43:57.860 --> 44:01.780
really got a grasp on the aggression that you commonly see coming out of Twisted Minds.

44:01.780 --> 44:04.100
You saw if Mishom there as well, very early on.

44:04.100 --> 44:07.380
poking his head over a hatch and looking to try and get an early kill out.

44:07.380 --> 44:09.580
This round I think may be a little more passive

44:09.580 --> 44:11.060
because of the line they've brought along.

44:11.060 --> 44:14.860
The view, the rune, the cross-looking in towards the goya and the mirror as well.

44:14.860 --> 44:18.500
They want to keep themselves a bit more dug in here, play behind a lot of utility,

44:18.500 --> 44:21.780
and force Enterprise to have to problem-solve throughout this round.

44:21.780 --> 44:24.020
So Sean is going to be the one that can be a little bit more free,

44:24.020 --> 44:26.660
so you will find him upstairs with the majority of the crowd.

44:26.660 --> 44:29.140
Either until he dies or is forced to pull back.

44:29.140 --> 44:32.540
And a change away from Enterprise to the black bear coming along here instead of the blitz.

44:32.540 --> 44:34.980
Twisted mines taking Regan for their second site.

44:34.980 --> 44:38.540
They're a team that don't generally play top floor, if memory serves.

44:38.540 --> 44:41.660
They will go with mining, usually as their third choice site,

44:41.660 --> 44:44.220
and they'll just avoid that theory to get rule together.

44:44.220 --> 44:47.660
Twisted mines, of course, let's not forget getting a win on Kaffir against G2.

44:47.660 --> 44:50.820
Just a few days ago as well, there's 8-7, that was what brought them here.

44:50.820 --> 44:55.820
So they're going to be unsure, they'll get themselves at least a few rounds on the defence.

44:55.820 --> 44:59.540
Tracks things will go out, and that's going to allow Enterprise to take a drop

44:59.540 --> 45:01.060
and get themselves inside the map,

45:01.060 --> 45:02.740
But for now, they're going to be held in fear.

45:02.740 --> 45:05.180
There's a Vulcan canister being detonated in cigar.

45:05.180 --> 45:06.900
They're having to push round the other way.

45:06.900 --> 45:08.580
And they get punished as they do guards.

45:08.580 --> 45:10.020
Managers to pick up Kairos.

45:10.020 --> 45:10.540
Who are?

45:10.540 --> 45:12.300
Is there with one of his own onto tricks?

45:12.300 --> 45:14.180
But Brendle is lost along the way.

45:14.180 --> 45:15.940
Guards is going big again.

45:15.940 --> 45:18.580
Knight in the shield and the Grim off the board.

45:18.580 --> 45:21.620
Enterprise, I spoke about adaptability in round one.

45:21.620 --> 45:23.780
You better find a bit more in round two.

45:23.780 --> 45:25.300
What is going to be the answer?

45:25.300 --> 45:27.780
This is why Runeys is so powerful on this top floor

45:27.780 --> 45:28.700
from inside the cocktail.

45:28.700 --> 45:30.300
You've got the long angle.

45:30.300 --> 45:33.460
So he's the click heads, they step on round from cigar shot.

45:33.460 --> 45:36.460
Jigsaw looking to do just that now, as Batman's going to join him.

45:36.460 --> 45:40.140
Looking a bit of a hard recovery as though here to the two versus four to pull off.

45:40.140 --> 45:44.940
I did say before we got into the end to surprise our Demos clutch team at the tournament.

45:44.940 --> 45:47.700
But a 1v4 for Jigsaw, 1v3 even.

45:47.700 --> 45:49.140
I think it's a bit too much to ask Tim.

45:49.140 --> 45:51.580
Yeah, probably, he's just working around barback storage.

45:51.580 --> 45:53.780
He's on actually inside now, don't think he knows that.

45:53.780 --> 45:58.020
Shum, he manages to just get himself hidden away in back storage there.

45:58.020 --> 46:00.180
Pops out, gets himself a kill with the Benria.

46:00.180 --> 46:05.020
very nicely done from twisted minds. Enterprise never got anywhere near this

46:05.020 --> 46:09.260
out there does. All that fighting was done over top floor. It was all done around

46:09.260 --> 46:13.300
new hatch cigar. They never really got themselves established. Very solid

46:13.300 --> 46:16.500
defence. They knew that guards was the main point about defence. Well in Cotts

46:16.500 --> 46:19.940
Tower of the DMR like I said Aruni is lethal from that position. So you've got

46:19.940 --> 46:22.860
to punish her and they tried. The Blackbeard first pushed in, they had the

46:22.860 --> 46:26.900
repelling to win them to the top side. But guards just so expertly dealt with both.

46:26.900 --> 46:29.340
You'll see it here. This is what I mean. The drop came on through.

46:29.340 --> 46:31.620
I think they're falling towards Troy, which is just a little bit,

46:31.620 --> 46:33.740
slightly a little bit off-time there, because the challenge

46:33.740 --> 46:35.940
coming in from downstairs from P9.

46:35.940 --> 46:38.660
So it was good disruption being run by twisted minds,

46:38.660 --> 46:41.060
but it just meant that guards could pop off.

46:41.060 --> 46:43.180
That was a very comfortable second round.

46:43.180 --> 46:45.340
Everybody should just get themselves hidden away.

46:45.340 --> 46:48.540
I think it's exactly the sort of style that we wanted to be seeing here

46:48.540 --> 46:49.860
in Saltworks City, to be honest.

46:49.860 --> 46:53.220
1-1 on the board, even spoils so far.

46:53.220 --> 46:56.260
And we continue on, Kathy, Enterprise.

46:56.260 --> 47:00.100
This time going to be attacking top floor, so Twisted Binds actually choosing to go there.

47:00.100 --> 47:05.380
Not going to take mine as their third choice. We'll see how they do with this one, up on a very 50-50 site.

47:05.380 --> 47:09.300
For the defenders, so there's an opportunity here, I feel, for Enterprise Desk.

47:09.300 --> 47:13.380
If they can get themselves established a little bit better and a little bit quicker than they have,

47:13.380 --> 47:17.540
maybe in those first two rounds. Take a little bit of map control, want to see him on the top floor,

47:17.540 --> 47:21.540
want to see him not lose anybody to this spawn peek, because you really can.

47:21.540 --> 47:25.780
I thought for a second the shot was also looking for the same, but he's still getting himself set up upstairs.

47:25.780 --> 47:30.340
This feels risky, it's so rare that we see teams go for an aggressive set up inside a piano

47:30.340 --> 47:33.220
unless you have the Azami on site, but can we just band away?

47:33.220 --> 47:36.580
You think they just band away entirely, maybe a shot will just play here, set the raring,

47:36.580 --> 47:37.620
and then look to move away?

47:38.340 --> 47:41.220
It's Cairo, he's probably got something to say about him being inside of there.

47:41.220 --> 47:44.980
They need a little bit more out of Cairo, the shields so far have been a little bit

47:44.980 --> 47:49.300
ineffective for Enterprise, and it's something that we know that they like to take advantage of.

47:49.300 --> 47:53.460
Cairo played the Blitz in the first round, Blackbeard in the second round, hasn't got a kill,

47:53.460 --> 47:56.660
Hasn't really taken any ground with those operators this time.

47:56.660 --> 47:58.660
We need to see that shield being put to use,

47:58.660 --> 48:01.780
particularly doing something like taking control of Piano.

48:01.780 --> 48:04.500
Go in there, force those players away, take ground,

48:04.500 --> 48:06.340
create a bit of map control for your team.

48:06.980 --> 48:09.380
I'm kind of a bad lucker to make use of these yo guys,

48:09.380 --> 48:11.860
rolling back the air so there's a bit of defense specialism there.

48:12.660 --> 48:13.620
I'll give you the information,

48:13.620 --> 48:15.700
it's sure enough they were constantly making use of that info,

48:15.700 --> 48:16.900
who's trying to feed what it could.

48:16.900 --> 48:19.380
Would your lad still gonna pop out and Scott Boss and get the entry?

48:19.380 --> 48:20.420
Down goes the stretch.

48:20.420 --> 48:27.420
A little bit of a return coming in though, Jigsaw knows his man is there, takes guards down and that's going to be Bappin on the P9.

48:27.420 --> 48:32.420
This is what I wanted to see from Cairo, look at the aggression here, just racing through psych to create space.

48:32.420 --> 48:36.420
Joe Admoni just to get one, but Bappin is there with a response and to Pile.

48:36.420 --> 48:41.420
I've been playing that trick very well, but he must be aware of a shot in freezer.

48:41.420 --> 48:46.420
He's now going to be single there, dealt with and it's all up to that last man, Tricks, on the Echo.

48:46.420 --> 48:49.620
On the echo, 1 vs 3, circles around Colombo.

48:49.620 --> 48:52.020
He's just been hounded by Cairo.

48:52.020 --> 48:55.020
I asked more from the Blitzners and he delivered.

48:56.660 --> 48:58.620
I think that Shom is the only player

48:58.620 --> 49:00.340
that would TP to the scuffle shell

49:00.340 --> 49:02.300
in front of two or three players.

49:02.300 --> 49:03.420
Bless his soul.

49:03.420 --> 49:05.060
Good round from both though, for every kill

49:05.060 --> 49:06.900
that we saw coming over to the side of Twisted Minds.

49:06.900 --> 49:08.180
You lad had a wonderful round.

49:08.180 --> 49:10.540
There was always a response from Enterprise.

49:10.540 --> 49:11.980
I said this back in round one,

49:11.980 --> 49:14.300
you're gonna see haymaker after haymaker

49:14.300 --> 49:16.380
being exchanged between the two teams.

49:16.380 --> 49:18.420
They won't back away, they won't slow down.

49:18.420 --> 49:19.980
It'll only get more and more fiery

49:19.980 --> 49:22.020
as we step on through the Aruni.

49:22.020 --> 49:22.860
Being banned away.

49:22.860 --> 49:24.140
I think they had enough of what they saw around too.

49:24.140 --> 49:26.220
It seemed like one guards back on that operator again.

49:26.220 --> 49:27.620
Not either would I.

49:27.620 --> 49:28.980
Phenomenal performance from him.

49:28.980 --> 49:31.060
But Blitz being taken away as well.

49:31.060 --> 49:31.900
Makes sense.

49:31.900 --> 49:34.260
Cairo, as I said, used it in round one, round three.

49:34.260 --> 49:35.900
He's also just come off the back

49:35.900 --> 49:37.660
of a really good round on the Blitz there.

49:37.660 --> 49:40.220
Just getting super aggressive through sight,

49:40.220 --> 49:43.460
taking control, forcing defenders into bad positions.

49:43.460 --> 49:44.900
So they decide no more Blitz.

49:44.900 --> 49:49.100
But my concern there for Twisted Minds would be he's just going to play the Blackbeard.

49:49.100 --> 49:51.600
He's just going to do the same job on another shield.

49:51.600 --> 49:56.500
So I think I've said this before, sometimes I think if you don't fully commit to those shield bands,

49:56.500 --> 50:00.400
they've let Doc be, you know, into the mix there, which I completely understand.

50:00.400 --> 50:04.900
But by going just Monty and Blitz, you know that you're going to be playing for the Blackbeard.

50:04.900 --> 50:08.000
So they're going to have to see how they deal with that.

50:08.000 --> 50:10.700
Actually, they're not because he's going to pick a win onto the run.

50:10.700 --> 50:13.100
Ah, Tim, you've made the classic mistake.

50:13.100 --> 50:13.940
He's got it!

50:13.940 --> 50:16.300
We all do it, we all do it.

50:16.300 --> 50:17.900
But we are getting that stake.

50:17.900 --> 50:19.740
It's nice to see it's sort of like mini-game play.

50:19.740 --> 50:20.580
You don't know what to do,

50:20.580 --> 50:21.780
band away in round three.

50:21.780 --> 50:23.140
So sometimes you weren't placing them.

50:23.140 --> 50:24.540
Now, guys, we're not playing stake this map.

50:24.540 --> 50:26.020
It's okay, please don't ban it.

50:26.020 --> 50:27.580
And now they're forced to ban something else away

50:27.580 --> 50:29.220
because they've had so much annoyance coming out

50:29.220 --> 50:30.060
from the Blitz,

50:30.060 --> 50:31.500
they probably are gonna make you sustain

50:31.500 --> 50:32.340
for the next three rounds

50:32.340 --> 50:33.460
because on a map like Cafe,

50:33.460 --> 50:34.380
that is very blocky,

50:34.380 --> 50:37.340
it's more tall than it is by wide or long or whatever.

50:37.340 --> 50:39.660
Stake is very, very effective on this map.

50:39.660 --> 50:46.660
to be a really big one. Reading

50:46.660 --> 50:48.660
door being taken away. It's going

50:48.660 --> 50:50.660
to give a quiet access point into

50:50.660 --> 50:52.660
the map should they want it. Default

50:52.660 --> 50:54.660
cam grabbed as well. That's really

50:54.660 --> 50:55.660
good work from the brava. Look at

50:55.660 --> 50:56.660
the light right. We're going to

50:56.660 --> 50:57.660
see that thorn in the malusia

50:57.660 --> 50:58.660
come on. This is when twisted

50:58.660 --> 50:59.660
mines are now going to be really

50:59.660 --> 51:01.660
heavy into their trap based

51:01.660 --> 51:02.660
operators on expense for the next

51:02.660 --> 51:03.660
few rounds. Just to slow down the

51:03.660 --> 51:04.660
fact they know there's going to be

51:04.660 --> 51:05.660
a snake on the other side. These

51:05.660 --> 51:07.660
mind games is back and forth

51:07.660 --> 51:08.660
nature. The brava certainly be

51:08.660 --> 51:11.060
be in the middle way. It's like a game of chess where you've always got to think

51:11.060 --> 51:16.660
two, three, four moves ahead to know what's going to happen as a reaction to what you choose to do.

51:16.660 --> 51:19.460
I think tricks being on the pull zone could be a bit of the next factor here,

51:19.460 --> 51:22.580
as long as he's getting all the information on where these players are pushing from.

51:22.580 --> 51:25.700
And suddenly it becomes a lot easier for the defenders to respond.

51:25.700 --> 51:29.060
Yeah, this is something that enterprise needs to deal with, needs to be taken out.

51:29.060 --> 51:31.060
It's kind of a central point for the Pulse here.

51:31.060 --> 51:34.500
You can see in just a few footsteps, most corners of the map,

51:34.500 --> 51:37.460
Immediate challenge coming through onto Batmoo.

51:37.460 --> 51:39.820
Gonna take a little bit of damage, P9!

51:39.820 --> 51:41.580
Steps down with a bit of an ego.

51:41.580 --> 51:44.820
He confines his man, a shom onto two hearts,

51:44.820 --> 51:47.660
and that's gonna be Twisted Minds with a decent advantage.

51:47.660 --> 51:50.140
Now, Brenda, though, does pick up cards.

51:50.140 --> 51:52.860
It's all crumbling in round four for Enterprise.

51:52.860 --> 51:55.660
Yeah, Kara almost in a spot there to pick up a couple of kills,

51:55.660 --> 51:58.140
but with the pistol, you're always gonna be a bit of a disadvantage.

51:58.140 --> 52:00.580
Two versus four, making it a one versus...

52:00.580 --> 52:02.380
One versus three, bring it up one more.

52:02.380 --> 52:06.540
finds a second Tim I think he has to get the ace here if he wants to see it over the line.

52:06.540 --> 52:09.820
Yeah I think he's going to have a good idea that one is downed in Barback's story so

52:09.820 --> 52:15.740
effectively 1v2 and he's got an absolute age on the clock as well. A minute 10 left so he can

52:15.740 --> 52:20.940
really just take his time here he can play with the nerves of Twisted Minds. See you know are they

52:20.940 --> 52:23.820
going to give him anything are they going to have a little peek are they going to give him that

52:23.820 --> 52:29.900
opportunity that would be a critical mistake for them right now because it could leave them in a 1v1.

52:29.900 --> 52:39.400
This is the problem. Look, Shom has to talk back, they've got the diffuser near them, they've got gadgets on the way to support them and give them information that he's coming, but more importantly, tricks to see everything the friendo is doing.

52:39.400 --> 52:46.400
There is nowhere that he can step without being spotted out here. So he's got to be so razor sharp on these gunfights.

52:46.400 --> 52:53.400
It's more sugary steps and no charge coming on through, guards. Shomining in the time is to get on down, goes to the wall, but can't quite find him.

52:53.400 --> 52:55.340
the ball. There's no chance

52:55.480 --> 52:56.420
for him to go back to the

52:56.520 --> 52:58.440
front. And he's got the ball

52:58.540 --> 53:00.480
on him. On many steps up and

53:00.580 --> 53:01.480
gets his mind. I think a

53:01.580 --> 53:02.480
well placed razor bloom has

53:02.580 --> 53:04.400
just really helped to

53:04.500 --> 53:05.480
estimate as he comes in. You

53:05.580 --> 53:07.480
can see it just really takes

53:07.580 --> 53:09.480
that focus away from the gun

53:09.580 --> 53:10.520
fight. He has to react to that

53:10.620 --> 53:13.520
danger indicator on his screen

53:13.620 --> 53:15.520
for the razor bloom. He flicks

53:15.620 --> 53:17.520
back towards it. He moves his

53:17.620 --> 53:19.520
feet and in that time, the

53:19.620 --> 53:21.020
shot is able to win that fight

53:21.120 --> 53:22.520
from behind bar. There was a

53:52.520 --> 53:56.040
the team that they're able to deal with players that are going big. Not all about things so

53:56.040 --> 54:00.280
far Tim, we go back down in towards the kitchen for round five.

54:00.280 --> 54:05.720
We saw this back in round one, it was an enterprise win. If you remember, I was very

54:05.720 --> 54:10.680
decisive when they played very complimentary of how they dealt with VIP. It was very complimentary

54:10.680 --> 54:15.400
of enterprises flexibility and adaptability when the bakery plan didn't really work out.

54:15.400 --> 54:19.800
They moved to a top floor clearance all the way down very quickly, got the vertical work

54:19.800 --> 54:39.800
done and push through freezer instead. It was really, really nice for Enterprise. So that's something the Twisted Mines need to deal with here. I think they did a very good job at the start of the round last time, sort of rebuffing Enterprise's approach to bakery, but then fell apart a little bit when that pressure came in from above. So needing maybe a little bit more action out in the map, Twisted Mines.

54:39.800 --> 54:48.800
It's just this very execute focus line-up as well. You look at the operators that are here, they just want to go at a given point to make it happen.

54:48.800 --> 54:52.800
And that's what I'm giving you now. We've seen teams try this, you put this over here, and I said, Sofía.

54:52.800 --> 54:58.800
This sends down, you Sofía, impacts out the ball as well. The shield charges on through, but we've seen so many teams completely crumble.

54:58.800 --> 55:04.800
Trying to make this work, but that is a fantastic adaptation. Kylo, got sprinted, going slow, and then getting rid of guards.

55:04.800 --> 55:08.800
A key player in this game and throughout this tournament, Tim, they're taking off line.

55:08.800 --> 55:13.600
work on the shield if you remember I said sometimes you've got to really commit to those shield vans

55:13.600 --> 55:18.800
though could be coming in as a band as a loud Cairo access continue to that

55:20.320 --> 55:26.720
now you're gonna find an absolute beauty rips the head off the shoulder four versus three though

55:26.720 --> 55:31.120
as Enterprise still have a good advantage and now mounting real pressure carols in a position

55:31.120 --> 55:35.520
where he could possibly plant here they just need that one extra kill it's going to be tricks but

55:35.520 --> 55:37.620
But are they going to find it? Yes, they do.

55:37.620 --> 55:42.420
Brendor finds his man that defuses their goal inside a side of this.

55:42.420 --> 55:44.060
That's what one versus one, Tim.

55:44.060 --> 55:48.220
It's Tuham coming up against the shot, who's upstairs on the verticals.

55:48.220 --> 55:52.260
As long as Tuham is careful, this could be his for the win.

55:52.260 --> 55:55.720
So much time to work with as well, but they see him on the camera.

55:55.720 --> 55:58.720
They see him on the scop-off shell, baiting out the T.P. for a second.

55:58.720 --> 56:01.080
Now that he knows where it is, he's going to be mindful of that.

56:01.080 --> 56:02.920
At least the knee is going to tuck it away.

56:02.920 --> 56:04.820
And now he can maybe get a plant down inside of Rice.

56:04.820 --> 56:08.620
It's hard to get the vertical angle down here, so now all movements come onto Tuhan.

56:08.620 --> 56:11.820
Really nice use of the last screen there. Does he get his angle?

56:11.820 --> 56:14.620
He can see him, but he doesn't want to go for the challenge just yet.

56:14.620 --> 56:19.220
Hasham's playing for a little bit of time, still this 50 seconds left on the clock.

56:19.220 --> 56:24.020
Tuhan has plenty of time available to him, so just try and bait out this fight.

56:24.020 --> 56:28.220
Maybe he goes a little bit wide. No, Hasham not taking the challenge just yet.

56:28.220 --> 56:33.020
Tuhan baiting him out, trying to bring him in a little bit closer by going for that plant.

56:33.020 --> 56:34.660
Now, Shams just playing the game, Tim.

56:34.660 --> 56:36.580
He's got Tuhan on the edge a little bit here.

56:36.580 --> 56:37.980
He doesn't feel safe enough to plant.

56:37.980 --> 56:39.460
He's rounding off towards the side of Shams.

56:39.460 --> 56:40.460
And hopefully, he's coming.

56:40.460 --> 56:42.460
Surely, Raoul comes to swing.

56:42.460 --> 56:43.300
Someone's got to win it.

56:43.300 --> 56:44.580
Our both going low.

56:44.580 --> 56:46.420
Now, Shambler, but he's on his belly, Tim.

56:46.420 --> 56:48.260
We've seen it a million times!

56:48.260 --> 56:50.980
And Shamb steps up, falls down quickly.

56:50.980 --> 56:53.300
It's Tuhan with the pistol, wins out.

56:53.300 --> 56:54.300
That won't be one.

56:54.300 --> 56:56.580
Some serious nerve from Tuhan there.

56:56.580 --> 56:59.700
I liked what he was doing coming around the corner,

56:59.700 --> 57:01.140
just changing his position.

57:01.140 --> 57:08.660
Spud, Crouch, just trying to give those confusing signals to Hasham and then finds his man with a beautiful shot to him

57:08.660 --> 57:15.300
Showing some serious nerve to get that done in the 1v1 3-2 now in favour of Enterprise

57:16.100 --> 57:21.580
I tell you what Tim, I think they'll be absolutely buzzing with three rounds at the attack. Both of these teams

57:21.580 --> 57:25.900
I've said it I think yesterday on social media. They're two of our best three defending teams

57:25.900 --> 57:30.020
Of course, FaZe is our best defending team, but these are number two and number three

57:30.020 --> 57:32.820
Their attacks are where sometimes they fall a little bit short.

57:32.820 --> 57:36.020
Both in the mid-40s range, it seems that as well as they have so far,

57:36.020 --> 57:41.720
their numbers could not be close to about 1% difference between them on both attack and defense.

57:41.720 --> 57:44.920
So maybe look at that, I think you know what, you'll take 3-3 hearts all the way through, Tim.

57:44.920 --> 57:49.320
I think I'm pretty sure I would, if it means that this turns into a screamer of a series.

57:49.920 --> 57:55.320
If Enterprise can get a fourth here, I think they'd have bitten your hand off if you'd have offered it before the match started.

57:55.320 --> 58:03.320
42 half on cafe, their map choice coming into defense would be absolutely brilliant for the might you say being one of those top three defending teams.

58:03.320 --> 58:06.320
Attack is where this matchup is really going to be won.

58:06.320 --> 58:12.320
And Sean getting a little bit aggro on the window doesn't quite catch his man.

58:12.320 --> 58:15.320
Brendo has taken a tickle of damage but...

58:15.320 --> 58:16.320
No problem, Dougie.

58:16.320 --> 58:18.320
You can stop worrying about grenades now.

58:18.320 --> 58:23.320
I'm sure Garza, this exists for the floor of course, running around the DMR of the Aruni,

58:23.320 --> 58:30.320
and away here, force instead over towards the Yeager, and you saw all three of those ADSs being placed down inside a cocktail.

58:30.320 --> 58:33.320
And good idea, I'll say to him, because look in the bottom left corner of your screen,

58:33.320 --> 58:39.320
eight, five grenades being brought along by the side of Enterprise, they really want to get him out of this position.

58:39.320 --> 58:44.320
Three up on the top floor that are going to need clearing altogether, Tricks, Guards and Hasham.

58:44.320 --> 58:48.320
They are the three that are going to be working together to keep control.

58:48.320 --> 58:50.320
Another opportunity there.

58:50.320 --> 58:53.320
Hoshom just dips away. Knows when the fight is done sometimes.

58:53.320 --> 58:55.320
Look how aggressive he is!

58:55.320 --> 58:57.320
He's amazing!

58:57.320 --> 58:59.320
Absolutely no idea.

58:59.320 --> 59:04.320
Hoshom gets his instant revenge for that lost 1v1 with an entry.

59:04.320 --> 59:10.320
P9 finds Jigsaw and all of a sudden it is 5 vs 3 in favour of Twisted Minds.

59:10.320 --> 59:17.320
I'm going to be a happy man team of three versus five for Enterprise.

59:17.320 --> 59:21.320
This one feels like system mines should be able to close it out.

59:21.320 --> 59:24.320
There's still a lot of time to play. We've already seen two Hongo big in the clutch,

59:24.320 --> 59:30.320
of course, he's not alive in this round, but as I've said, Enterprise have done it time and time again this tournament.

59:30.320 --> 59:31.320
There's no reason they can't hear.

59:31.320 --> 59:36.320
We're a minute 13 to the round. Enterprise have got nothing here, there's realistically.

59:36.320 --> 59:40.640
They're going to find themselves one kill. They're not inside the map. They haven't got any control.

59:40.640 --> 59:45.200
I don't really see any way that they get this round done now. One versus four for Baffin.

59:45.200 --> 59:48.720
He's going to see use a little bit of that time. Maybe they give him an opportunity.

59:48.720 --> 59:52.480
He does some damage to Jolad there, but I don't think he's going to get much more.

59:52.480 --> 59:58.400
Nitro comes out from Tricks and it is going to be the 3-3 half that I think we all really wanted here.

59:58.400 --> 01:00:02.640
Even spoils the both at big moments. Absolutely going at each other.

01:00:02.640 --> 01:00:08.000
what a way to start the quarterfinals and the live stage here in Salt Lake City.

01:00:09.120 --> 01:00:13.600
No team, one, two rounds back to back. It was pretty spectacular. Now I guess the heads

01:00:13.600 --> 01:00:17.520
up to you in the arena, you won't be able to hear the same of course because we're on microphones.

01:00:17.520 --> 01:00:20.880
So we'll see what comes out. We'll have a listen in and let you know what gets fixed.

01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:25.840
Right here, for mining, okay. Also, we have our new kitchen stuff. Harry, I've shown you the

01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.760
drawings of what we need to look for for fucking kitchen, okay? We also have the train that

01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:34.640
that train can put on the train okay on cocktail guys make sure they sit on the

01:00:34.640 --> 01:00:38.600
repels for the whole fucking round okay Hosham sits on the West fucking repel

01:00:38.600 --> 01:00:41.440
okay so we cannot be dying to these repels when we're playing our

01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:45.000
defenses okay we can be running out from the basement jig they like to put

01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:49.320
their claymores on the second floor okay on mining they do you they do like to

01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:52.960
play some guys okay on mining we have any you know counterstrat so we're gonna

01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:56.320
run okay but for mining they like to play their glass and they like to just put

01:00:56.320 --> 01:01:03.400
mining listen guys the new strats they have no third operators at all okay so we

01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:07.680
fall back safely just like I bought a custom really fucking second floor okay

01:01:07.680 --> 01:01:11.640
and play the seafalls yeah we're gonna be the ones to control the pace okay

01:01:11.640 --> 01:01:17.640
but also just make sure guys Brad plays and lurks with snake okay we have the

01:01:17.640 --> 01:01:21.640
mid-jammers but guess what on SR what were we not doing tell me guys what we

01:01:21.640 --> 01:01:26.080
were not talking no fucking talking okay if we if we don't around the new

01:01:26.080 --> 01:01:29.080
We were going to focus on one thing, the vision and the death, right?

01:01:29.080 --> 01:01:34.080
Let's do the prep for the map, we know what we want to take, we take with each other, and we take the info, and we take it.

01:01:34.080 --> 01:01:40.080
We're going to do fast push, we're going to be on the same page, we know we don't know how to do the map prep, because it's clear.

01:01:40.080 --> 01:01:47.080
Let's remember the talk, what we are doing, what they are doing, what we're going to do.

01:01:47.080 --> 01:01:52.080
And the last one, if we have a man of advantage, remember guys, we have Deimos.

01:01:52.080 --> 01:01:55.080
Let's track the last one, chill, chill, hard, and let's go.

01:01:55.080 --> 01:01:56.080
Let's go.

01:01:56.080 --> 01:01:58.080
And let's be...

01:01:58.080 --> 01:02:00.080
Every second is different, right?

01:02:00.080 --> 01:02:01.080
Yes, okay.

01:02:01.080 --> 01:02:03.080
Guys, every second is different.

01:02:03.080 --> 01:02:05.080
Every second is different.

01:02:05.080 --> 01:02:06.080
Okay, I'll let the QVD.

01:02:06.080 --> 01:02:07.080
Yeah.

01:02:07.080 --> 01:02:08.080
Bad.

01:02:12.080 --> 01:02:13.080
Alright.

01:02:13.080 --> 01:02:15.080
Without a chance to listen to what was going on there.

01:02:15.080 --> 01:02:17.080
And you can probably imagine twisted minds.

01:02:17.080 --> 01:02:19.080
A lot of it was in Arabic, so you can't translate too much of that.

01:02:19.080 --> 01:02:20.080
I can't say my...

01:02:20.080 --> 01:02:22.080
Ardott Lesson's got the quite air in time, Tim.

01:02:22.080 --> 01:02:26.080
I guess you're curious as well. I've heard a lot of praise for Diago, the coach who stood behind him soon.

01:02:26.080 --> 01:02:29.080
If he said, like, look, we sometimes come in English, he knows what we're saying.

01:02:29.080 --> 01:02:32.080
Sometimes, of course, he's out there putting a couple of thicker things out between themselves.

01:02:32.080 --> 01:02:35.080
And Mag, as you probably expect, he was very, very prospective to him.

01:02:35.080 --> 01:02:38.080
Here's how they like to play. You're going to see this player on this repel.

01:02:38.080 --> 01:02:40.080
They'll be doing this for drones. They'll play this operator on this site.

01:02:40.080 --> 01:02:44.080
It was very much, just remember what we've spoken about. Let's lock this down.

01:02:44.080 --> 01:02:51.080
And that's what I loved about it from Mag there. I think what he's doing there is factoring in that possibility for nerves in his team.

01:02:51.080 --> 01:02:53.480
Yes, they've been through that stuff already.

01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:55.920
Yes, you would expect that to have been discussed.

01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:58.920
But what he's doing there is recognizing that, you know,

01:02:58.920 --> 01:03:02.120
maybe their ability to recall all that information

01:03:02.120 --> 01:03:03.520
in the heat at the moment

01:03:03.520 --> 01:03:06.440
may actually be affected a little bit by the environment,

01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:08.160
by the nerves, by the stage.

01:03:08.160 --> 01:03:10.640
So what he's doing is just reinforcing that.

01:03:10.640 --> 01:03:12.560
Let's not make these mistakes.

01:03:12.560 --> 01:03:15.560
We are aware of these things. Let's punish them for it.

01:03:15.560 --> 01:03:18.480
And I think that's really, really good stuff from Mike.

01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:19.720
For those of you who sort like the one thing

01:03:19.720 --> 01:03:26.200
that really caught my attention was a potential to do a run out from base because of where the claymores get placed always on the second

01:03:26.200 --> 01:03:30.640
floor to keep him out of the players events fires if you see them heading down towards bottom light for example

01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:32.840
It could be some trouble to follow

01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:36.240
And now you're gonna see ourselves set up on the upstairs tip

01:03:36.240 --> 01:03:39.760
It's a very complicated second floor sites for those of you a little bit newer to siege

01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:45.880
If you can't defend around the site itself you tend to go and play above and top floor has a lot of soft flooring

01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:47.320
So you get yourself set up there.

01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:49.160
You force the attackers to have to come and fight you.

01:03:49.160 --> 01:03:51.200
Because if the tribe plan without clearing you out,

01:03:51.200 --> 01:03:52.480
you've got the vertical cover on them.

01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.880
You can shut them down before that diffuser can even get stuck.

01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:57.280
Mr. Mines, Tim, I did say earlier on,

01:03:57.280 --> 01:03:59.040
both of these teams love playing snake.

01:03:59.040 --> 01:04:00.440
They love playing to KB.

01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:01.440
The KB wasn't banned away.

01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:02.280
It was just a double shield.

01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:03.880
So we've got both on side here.

01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:05.360
Just Mr. Mines.

01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:07.640
Immediately over towards that east side,

01:04:07.640 --> 01:04:11.160
they're going to start dealing with the Castle Barricades.

01:04:11.160 --> 01:04:12.400
Havana is going to do that job.

01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:14.880
Tricks is the one with the clear moors that Hanna is well.

01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:18.840
2 on the side of the team. One has been placed already. So I would imagine what

01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:22.280
Enterprise are expecting is accurate because he's only been over to this

01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:26.440
east side so they should be on that second floor. So possible opportunities

01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:29.880
there for Enterprise for the time being. It's gonna be I keep working from the

01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:33.440
rooftop just pinging out all that gadgetry. So they're gonna be aware. They

01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.640
already know there's a mozzi on side but there's the Valkyrie. Those are the ones

01:04:36.640 --> 01:04:40.080
that they're really gonna be looking for. The whole line-up is just so cautious.

01:04:40.080 --> 01:04:42.880
Tristie Meissner really respects it because they know that Enterprise

01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:47.120
play aggressive sometimes. And as I said earlier on, they play a lot of play and a lot of mirror,

01:04:47.120 --> 01:04:51.120
they like to play slow. But I did say today maybe we're going to see them play a bit more aggressive

01:04:51.120 --> 01:04:55.360
in the balcony and the Thorns certainly do that. Ain't going to stop Cairo being the person to find

01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:59.360
the kill, but that's the snake off-lines him quite early in the round. Yeah, that's actually a really

01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:03.680
big player there. Just going to give a little bit of freedom to those players up on the top floor.

01:05:03.680 --> 01:05:08.640
I'm looking at Brenda, particularly on that castle. He's up there and can continue making a nuisance

01:05:08.640 --> 01:05:13.120
of himself until he is shipped down. He's going to dip back to light stairs momentarily,

01:05:13.120 --> 01:05:15.200
but you'll still have that option.

01:05:17.680 --> 01:05:21.920
Again, it's been so cautious. I really don't want to find ourselves losing more players out,

01:05:22.480 --> 01:05:26.560
a correction from Enterprise. Just about started to get top 4 control here,

01:05:26.560 --> 01:05:30.640
I think Enterprise will feel very happy with what they've accomplished. They're going to kill,

01:05:30.640 --> 01:05:35.280
it's wasting two minutes on the clock. Only now we've seen Twisted Mind starting to get eyes

01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:38.400
on site itself to know what it is that's still going to face up against.

01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:43.040
You're crossing the mute and the Mosse coming out a couple of C4s in fact three that they could still work with here.

01:05:43.040 --> 01:05:46.080
I feel that Enterprise have got all the tools required to see this over the line.

01:05:46.080 --> 01:05:49.280
Wrapping on the Valkyrie was being kind of heavily watched there in Trim,

01:05:49.280 --> 01:05:53.360
but doesn't really need to move, doesn't really need to change his position.

01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.240
So the clock continues to tick for Twisted Minds.

01:05:56.240 --> 01:05:59.200
Look at all the intel that Enterprise have got there.

01:05:59.200 --> 01:06:00.400
Still got Cams up there.

01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:03.920
Guards is going to manage to take down two and but is that enough?

01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:08.080
We are 30 seconds from the end of the round, by the time Twisted Minds have got their first kill,

01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:12.000
Garth is going to drop and look at the possibility of getting that confused attack.

01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:17.760
There's no threat from the book, but is there a planning of an enterprise to deny this one?

01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:20.480
They've got a couple of C4s to play with, Tim, but it is the top floor.

01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:22.480
I'm a little bit nervous about none of them have lost that control.

01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:23.600
They can't easily stop this.

01:06:23.600 --> 01:06:25.200
Wong wants to come up, Brown says.

01:06:25.200 --> 01:06:27.280
Brenda by the looks of it, but there's that first C4.

01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:28.160
It's on about, Tim.

01:06:28.160 --> 01:06:29.520
Then Swings had to find a kill.

01:06:29.520 --> 01:06:30.480
Garth into the match.

01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:34.760
The shot, and nice cut flick on towards Brando, but Bappen gets the close.

01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:36.760
An excellent defence from Enterprise.

01:06:36.760 --> 01:06:38.800
That was absolutely brilliant from them.

01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:42.040
They knew everything that was going to happen, not too much of a surprise,

01:06:42.040 --> 01:06:44.320
given the halftime talk that we heard from Mike.

01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:46.280
Very well prepared for this team.

01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:50.880
Let's not forget this saw Twisted Minds play on Caffè just a few days ago against G2.

01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:54.960
They have absolutely brand new footage that they will have been able to pour over,

01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.200
so they should be aware of everything that's going on.

01:06:57.200 --> 01:06:59.120
They were set up brilliantly for it.

01:06:59.120 --> 01:07:04.400
the amount of intel that they had, the way that they used the mute and the mozzie to slow them down.

01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:10.000
So it was down to the last 30 seconds when Enterprise were getting into that position to plant the reed.

01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:16.640
I just all brilliant stuff from them. Just completely in control of that map at all times.

01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.280
And this is the thing again that we heard during the TAC time, or on the TAC time,

01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:25.840
like the halftime from Mag, is about everything to expect. What we're going to see from Twisted

01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:29.200
in the half. What they should be doing about it to respond and shut them down

01:07:29.200 --> 01:07:32.880
and that whole setup just felt like it had every answer to anything Twisted

01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:36.520
Minds do. Again, they're one of the teams that have played Solid State the most at

01:07:36.520 --> 01:07:39.880
this tournament. We know they look like a lot of DKB. If you know that the line

01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:45.680
information to dominate the game, Mute and Mozi, absolutely brilliant. Being able to slow them down, using the C4s and the intel that you get from the

01:07:45.680 --> 01:07:50.040
Valkyrie. They've really just struggled with time there, Twisted Minds, and that's not been

01:07:50.040 --> 01:07:52.760
something that has been a big issue for me throughout the tournament. I think

01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:54.100
there they've been put off guard.

01:07:56.600 --> 01:08:00.600
Enterprise showing that they can also bring the aggression, bring the attempts at those

01:08:00.600 --> 01:08:06.200
beats. It's a shame that we saw trying previously and P9 had a little luck as well, but every

01:08:06.200 --> 01:08:10.120
day it's going to be safe, but to suffice not too much of a problem is to get themselves

01:08:10.120 --> 01:08:14.120
to the outline of the building. But same question as asked of Enterprise, what is going to be

01:08:14.120 --> 01:08:17.800
the approach, what is going to be the play? I would imagine that we will see them taking

01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:22.120
top floor given that they've brought P9 along on that snake. There's no point if you're

01:08:22.120 --> 01:08:24.200
You're just gonna go directly into Bear Creek.

01:08:24.200 --> 01:08:27.000
Get him across that top floor, let him start clearing out.

01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:28.480
And it's not gonna run like you.

01:08:28.480 --> 01:08:31.400
You don't bring those to unless you really want to look for that vertical control.

01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:33.480
We say it every time, I think we see him, Tim,

01:08:33.480 --> 01:08:36.360
but the Capitals would be one of the ones that, especially, I've got my eyes on here.

01:08:36.360 --> 01:08:38.840
Let's just let, uh, make sure they can get that vertical control,

01:08:38.840 --> 01:08:42.080
but it's gonna be the smoke and the fire that gives them room to make a plan.

01:08:42.080 --> 01:08:45.480
I'm just worried because on the other side, there is so much stall.

01:08:45.480 --> 01:08:47.400
Again, we've got the kind, we've got the two ground.

01:08:47.400 --> 01:08:48.840
They waste a lot of time by themselves.

01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:50.160
Clash is an absolute headache.

01:08:50.160 --> 01:08:52.440
You've still got a glow canister in that pocket for Bappen

01:08:52.440 --> 01:08:55.240
that I imagine he'll place based on where a hit starts to come from.

01:08:55.240 --> 01:08:58.200
They can look to waste a lot of time, but it's a shot.

01:08:58.200 --> 01:08:59.960
Downstairs, no upstairs on the ramp.

01:08:59.960 --> 01:09:00.880
He gets really good shot.

01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:02.880
Yeah, that's a really big start for them.

01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:04.560
The manager's just a tear down near Rooney.

01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:07.680
Two hands positioning is going to be particularly important

01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:08.960
for this round on the clash.

01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:11.360
He's just moving in between the two areas

01:09:11.360 --> 01:09:14.680
and then he wants to support Cairo out in VIP

01:09:14.680 --> 01:09:16.880
because they now have that hatch being opened up.

01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.120
So two hands, smart movement here.

01:09:19.120 --> 01:09:23.520
He got himself over towards Freezer and can back his team up, they've recognised this.

01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:26.320
Not too much pressure, Bakery, but saying that,

01:09:26.320 --> 01:09:30.520
to a sub-mines they've moved agendas and they've got two stacked up.

01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:33.920
Peanut and God are working double on that Bakery door.

01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:38.320
Did I have to see that? I just saw a class charging at White Stairs to go aggressive here.

01:09:38.320 --> 01:09:40.320
They managed to get rid of the one, he's still going!

01:09:40.320 --> 01:09:44.120
And that is a train in his own right, it's charged on through the retaking top floor here.

01:09:44.120 --> 01:09:46.120
This now completely shuts down the execute.

01:09:46.120 --> 01:09:51.240
Well, it's really smart if they're gonna try to push him from Bakery because now they're gonna make it super difficult.

01:09:51.240 --> 01:09:58.240
Wow! Do that to him. Managers are fine tricks. He was going hunting for him because they know how important the vertical is gonna be.

01:09:58.240 --> 01:10:04.440
They are stacked up. 45 seconds left to go. P9 taken down by Brendo trying to go outside of Bakery.

01:10:04.440 --> 01:10:14.720
And the entire fight now is going to come down to top floor control. The clash has abandoned his shield, just left it activated so that he knows there is still a presence there.

01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:20.880
The push comes in from the other side, Cairo manages to tear down a shot, it's all up to Jullad, he finds two half,

01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:28.360
but two versus one, 25 seconds and defuser down, I don't think they come back from this, and Cairo, he makes sure,

01:10:28.360 --> 01:10:33.440
Enterprise get themselves another defence, and they are now picking up some steam.

01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:40.520
I knew this game was going to be crazy, I didn't quite expect Clash charging up White Stairs' level of crazy tim,

01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:44.320
but it was so smart, the defuser was down, cool, get up there, there's no one to buff right now.

01:10:44.320 --> 01:10:48.160
Transit down, absolutely wonderful, well listen at this time.

01:10:48.160 --> 01:10:52.480
Let's see what we're gonna bring in the middle or top bomb site if they bring collectors.

01:10:52.480 --> 01:10:57.080
Remember to think what I say if we have problems with the guy under the skylight, we can bring

01:10:57.080 --> 01:10:58.080
flores or something.

01:10:58.080 --> 01:11:01.000
Guys, we need to use the U2 spatter.

01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:06.080
When we use the Tokayabi and when you flashbang, remember to say 3, 2, 1 and let's play together

01:11:06.080 --> 01:11:07.080
guys.

01:11:07.080 --> 01:11:10.800
I think we are, you know, we are trying to control too much.

01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:16.640
Take the kills use the word operators for the end of the round look the words and treat you what let's go guys

01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:22.320
No, don't need to be perfect. Don't need to you know, control everything. Let's let's let's take our in the gunfight, okay?

01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:35.580
The heads up from Daigo there something you kind of heard before around calming down but more than anything saying guys

01:11:35.580 --> 01:11:40.160
It hasn't got to be perfect. We're trying to control too much. We're trying to be busy around the entire map

01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:46.720
Why not slow things down a bit play behind our utile and especially do a three to one countdown some more in sync as a team

01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.520
I think yeah, it lines up with what we're seeing particularly on that kitchen attack

01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:56.320
They've chosen to split the attack and go to bakery and three above and white stairs

01:11:56.320 --> 01:11:58.840
But what did that do it open their caps?

01:11:58.840 --> 01:12:02.040
It gave the opportunity for Cairo to walk up white

01:12:02.040 --> 01:12:08.120
It gave the opportunity for to have to get aggressive and move back upstairs because they knew that there was the limited

01:12:08.120 --> 01:12:12.060
that middle floor because they

01:12:12.060 --> 01:12:14.060
had to be a corridor attacking

01:12:14.060 --> 01:12:16.060
them. Joe Adam P nine were down

01:12:16.060 --> 01:12:18.060
there. So smart player from

01:12:18.060 --> 01:12:19.060
enterprise recognizing here.

01:12:19.060 --> 01:12:20.060
There's going to be gaps here

01:12:20.060 --> 01:12:21.060
because they're not working

01:12:21.060 --> 01:12:24.060
together on one single attack.

01:12:24.060 --> 01:12:25.060
Great stuff. Really, really I

01:12:25.060 --> 01:12:26.060
keep from enterprise to some

01:12:26.060 --> 01:12:27.060
minds. Yeah, I think you know

01:12:27.060 --> 01:12:28.060
recognizing the issues there.

01:12:28.060 --> 01:12:29.060
They've got to work together

01:12:29.060 --> 01:12:30.060
more as a team and they've got

01:12:30.060 --> 01:12:31.060
to force these enterprise

01:12:31.060 --> 01:12:32.060
players out of the positions

01:12:32.060 --> 01:12:33.060
that they want to play. See

01:12:33.060 --> 01:12:34.060
what they can do to him is

01:12:34.060 --> 01:12:35.060
definitely going to be a bit

01:12:35.060 --> 01:12:36.060
of a recovery effort. I didn't

01:12:36.060 --> 01:12:37.060
expect them to come into this

01:12:37.060 --> 01:12:40.580
to come into this map and have a brilliant time because it is Enterprise's map pick.

01:12:40.580 --> 01:12:44.580
I know that Twisted Minds like it as well, but I imagine they've got their eyes on Clubhouse

01:12:44.580 --> 01:12:48.660
and Fortress knowing that this is the map Enterprise will always go into love.

01:12:48.660 --> 01:12:52.340
And despite what Daigo has said during that attack timeout, honestly a lot of it I think

01:12:52.340 --> 01:12:55.780
leads into how Enterprise are playing. Their setups have been brilliant, their countering

01:12:55.780 --> 01:12:58.980
the playstyle that Twisted Minds have run throughout much of this tournament. It's been very,

01:12:58.980 --> 01:13:04.340
very chaotic, it's been dominant, a lot of solo individual plays as the current meta enables it,

01:13:04.340 --> 01:13:08.540
But with the control of the scene coming out of the Aussies, they've got to put a lock on it.

01:13:08.540 --> 01:13:11.140
That joke goes out, not gonna be successful.

01:13:11.140 --> 01:13:13.140
There's the first challenge, Mozi down.

01:13:13.140 --> 01:13:14.140
What's going on?

01:13:14.140 --> 01:13:17.140
The Black Manages are behind Jigsaw, but Brenda onto her shot, elsewhere.

01:13:17.140 --> 01:13:19.540
An enterprise that's just crawling in confidence.

01:13:19.540 --> 01:13:21.340
There's the crawling in aggression.

01:13:21.340 --> 01:13:23.740
Baffin manages to take down Jigsaw.

01:13:23.740 --> 01:13:26.340
They're just absolutely running right at the minute.

01:13:26.340 --> 01:13:27.740
4 versus 3, Nate.

01:13:27.740 --> 01:13:30.940
Is gonna force Cairo back onto White's desk.

01:13:30.940 --> 01:13:35.740
So maybe here guards can get something going with that black beard reclaim a little bit of ground

01:13:36.220 --> 01:13:40.380
Reclaim a little bit of control here for twisted minds at the head of the day

01:13:40.380 --> 01:13:43.340
I was saying aggression was going to be the name of the game between these two teams

01:13:43.340 --> 01:13:49.580
They're both shown they can do it and enterprise of very much has pulled off the twisted minds on their three players swinging out

01:13:49.580 --> 01:13:54.940
And towards no door sepals coming out jump out at the same time. That's the classic a-fax style

01:13:54.940 --> 01:13:57.020
We all know and love from a few years ago

01:13:57.020 --> 01:14:03.060
And you can't say that yourself will be heard a little bit around the development of both teams really when it comes up against bigger teams around the world

01:14:03.060 --> 01:14:05.540
Have you got what it takes to show the maturity in play?

01:14:05.540 --> 01:14:11.300
I think Enterprise is showing extreme maturity in their cafe play. I love that from two-hand

01:14:11.300 --> 01:14:16.100
He was tracked by the Demos, but he got himself into the one safe spot that he could be

01:14:16.940 --> 01:14:23.500
He couldn't find any bullets down onto him from above and he then just uses the nitro with the info he was being given

01:14:23.500 --> 01:14:27.440
the defense. They've got a lot

01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:28.600
of work to do. They've got a

01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:29.600
lot of work to do trading out

01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:30.600
trading out as they have done

01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:32.640
consistently throughout this

01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:34.640
mark. Enterprise looking like a

01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:36.400
different beast on the

01:14:36.400 --> 01:14:39.540
defense. There's. And still

01:14:39.540 --> 01:14:41.600
laying on thick in the chats.

01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:43.600
I think I said the world with

01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:45.600
the word bought more than half

01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:47.600
throughout the whole tournament

01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:50.600
so far. In pretty thick books.

01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:52.600
It's 63 enterprise twisted

01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:54.600
you know, he knows where you

01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:55.600
are because he's giving your

01:14:55.600 --> 01:14:56.600
information on the reverse of

01:14:56.600 --> 01:14:58.600
the track. So just really

01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:00.600
asking for trouble there. And

01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:01.600
they got to this one. Look the

01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:02.600
other window. One of the

01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:03.600
job parts who on snow does

01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:05.600
this really players involved

01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:07.600
here empowering onto two players

01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:08.600
at track. So you know who you

01:15:08.600 --> 01:15:09.600
are. You know who you're

01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:10.600
tracking because you gave us

01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:12.600
you've chosen to track pulse.

01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:13.600
You are stood on a soft

01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:14.600
floor and you know that he

01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:15.600
knows where you are because

01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:16.600
he's giving your information on

01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:17.600
the reverse of the track. So

01:15:17.600 --> 01:15:18.600
just really asking for trouble

01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:20.600
there and they got to this

01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:23.600
in powering onto two players trying to push it towards Snowdorff.

01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:26.600
And they get away with it as well. Brilliant stuff.

01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:30.600
Just looking like a different base here on defence.

01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:33.600
They've really hit the accelerator pedal and like you said, Des,

01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:35.600
I think Twisted Minds mentally.

01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:37.600
They're still going to want to get some rounds back,

01:15:37.600 --> 01:15:40.600
but I think they've already got to be thinking towards Cobos.

01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:43.600
It's one thing we speak about this morning about predictions for today.

01:15:43.600 --> 01:15:45.600
I didn't think it was going to be as clear cut towards Twisted Minds.

01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:48.600
I think many were estimating because, yes, they've had a three-zero,

01:15:48.600 --> 01:15:52.600
But in all data, there is context that has to be considered.

01:15:52.600 --> 01:15:55.600
They beat a very, very pure, poor Furia.

01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:57.600
They've got an 8-7 over Waybo.

01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.600
They went all the way to map 15 of round of map 3 against G2.

01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:03.600
Manage to get it done there.

01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:06.600
If they'd lost that game, they could have had some real stiff competition to face

01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:08.600
to then make it to the main stage.

01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:10.600
And it's not at all to diminish their efforts.

01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:12.600
It's more me stressing a bit of caution here.

01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:14.600
They haven't been like the best team in the tournament so far.

01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:16.600
That definitely is going to be phase.

01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:21.200
And I think, I seem like Enterprise has got a better point to prove, can see them undone.

01:16:21.200 --> 01:16:26.000
Heading back to Reading Room then, the round that we saw, first of all, the sight that we saw in round 7,

01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:31.400
Enterprise played it brilliantly and I like to see that Twisted Minds have recognised what the problem was there

01:16:31.400 --> 01:16:38.200
and they've taken the Valkyrie away. They were getting absolutely hammered with intel when we saw Enterprise defending in Reading.

01:16:38.200 --> 01:16:42.200
Everything Twisted Minds were doing upstairs, Enterprise were aware of it at all times.

01:16:42.200 --> 01:16:44.920
They're still going to have an element of that, because instead of the Valkyrie,

01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:47.880
they brought the Pulse, which they've been very successful with so far.

01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.120
And they've still got the Mosse to deal with.

01:16:50.120 --> 01:16:51.640
A little bit of aggression from Brendor.

01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:54.600
He fancies this fight on the window, and it's no surprise,

01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:57.400
because Enterprise has been winning everything all over the map.

01:16:58.360 --> 01:17:01.480
And this is where I think Twisted Minds are kind of putting the fear of God in themselves.

01:17:01.480 --> 01:17:03.800
They're being so worried about what's going to happen.

01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:06.200
Like we heard the coach say, it doesn't need to be perfect.

01:17:06.200 --> 01:17:08.040
You've just got to do it together.

01:17:08.040 --> 01:17:10.440
Stop trying to control so much of the map.

01:17:10.440 --> 01:17:18.240
As long as the team can win, so far that win is eluding 75 seconds in, and only now just

01:17:18.240 --> 01:17:20.240
finally getting inside the building tin.

01:17:20.240 --> 01:17:24.680
On the window, one off towards his side, Brando, no this isn't a threat, back to the way here

01:17:24.680 --> 01:17:28.640
for the support, but now underneath, Jalad, waiting on bottom one, got a freebie and two

01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:31.640
ones there again with yet another C4 kill.

01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:37.920
The trigger and the utility usage from Enterprise have both been absolutely top tier, this last

01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:39.920
two rounds, Raleigh, and they have

01:17:39.920 --> 01:17:41.920
advantage, and Raleigh does that

01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:43.920
util, not land and get them a kill

01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:45.920
trade again, as I say, but Sean

01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:47.920
finds two and Jigsaw there to back

01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:49.920
his teammate up, they are playing

01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:51.920
as a five, and a well

01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:53.920
oiled unit, brilliant stuff, we're going to

01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:55.920
see the yellow pink coming out as well, with

01:17:55.920 --> 01:17:57.920
a bit of intel, guards take damage,

01:17:57.920 --> 01:17:59.920
three versus three, guards

01:17:59.920 --> 01:18:01.920
and tricks they've got, and what a utility

01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:03.920
they can use to get apart down here

01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:05.920
to cover P9, they've got the

01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:08.640
They've got the class. They should have everything they need

01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:11.080
They should

01:18:11.080 --> 01:18:15.000
But you've got a pulse on the other side. It's gonna see everything happening here

01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:18.320
And they know exactly what the game plan is gonna be. They know they've got the shing on sides

01:18:18.320 --> 01:18:21.040
And they're gonna pop up here Tim and maybe retake a vertical

01:18:21.040 --> 01:18:21.840
That could be

01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:25.280
Casus Shroffit because all three players have twisted minds and now they're on the second floor

01:18:25.280 --> 01:18:28.720
I love that from Cairo taking that opportunity

01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:34.320
It's probably not gonna matter because two kills coming on site and we find cards all alone

01:18:34.320 --> 01:18:39.800
one versus three trying to keep his team in this but it's looking less and less

01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:45.200
likely what happened finds the final kill and enterprise they take cafe it's

01:18:45.200 --> 01:18:49.700
one zero days I think we're gonna have to see if it

01:18:49.700 --> 01:18:52.600
provides twisted minds coming into clubhouse Tim and no doubt they'll have

01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:56.440
a lot more to show on that map but enterprise there for me have shown

01:18:56.440 --> 01:19:01.560
absolute mastery of the meta on cafe not giving a single inch over twisted

01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:04.080
minds of that second half, brilliant first man.

01:19:04.080 --> 01:19:07.320
Yeah, really, really impressed with the RCE team there.

01:19:07.320 --> 01:19:10.920
They have come and staked a claim already for a position

01:19:10.920 --> 01:19:12.080
in that semi-final.

01:19:12.080 --> 01:19:14.360
I think the day is going to get harder for them.

01:19:14.360 --> 01:19:16.080
I don't think clubhouse is necessarily

01:19:16.080 --> 01:19:19.880
going to be so simple, but what a start they've made.

01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:21.080
I'd like to say it's a very big win

01:19:21.080 --> 01:19:22.280
clubhouse in the last six months,

01:19:22.280 --> 01:19:23.880
but maybe that changes today.

01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:25.480
We'll be back after a short break.

01:25:31.560 --> 01:25:32.560
going into clubhouse?

01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:37.800
Ah, I think that's their map, they play really well and clubhouse is our map, we just need

01:25:37.800 --> 01:25:40.160
to play more confidence I think.

01:25:40.160 --> 01:25:43.920
Mag, that was quite an adjustment going into your attacking half, it sounded like you were

01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:49.480
countering them directly, what were you doing specifically that got them into so much trouble?

01:25:49.480 --> 01:25:53.000
So we identified that they do not play any vert operators on their attacks, it seems

01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:56.160
that they just play comfort picks, they don't really have any wink conditions, they run

01:25:56.160 --> 01:26:00.240
around and try to get picks so we've really counted all of the maps for today, the map

01:26:00.240 --> 01:26:03.440
beat it when our way so hopefully we just stay focused on the game plan and you know

01:26:03.440 --> 01:26:09.200
pick the series to a expect the boys from down under a one-up in our first quarter

01:26:09.200 --> 01:26:14.000
final here and twisted minds have got a lot of work to do if they want to flip the script

01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:19.280
and avoid an early trip home here on Friday in Salt Lake City man in the in the long side

01:26:19.280 --> 01:26:24.000
box and lacks lacks enterprise was so impressive yeah i think their game plan was really well

01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:27.920
there and what magnet said i think really speaks of christian i mean we saw immediately on that

01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:30.520
and attacking half is they understood they like the information.

01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:32.040
They like to trap other operators.

01:26:32.040 --> 01:26:34.240
You see the bands, they get rid of the Solas, the Azami,

01:26:34.240 --> 01:26:35.360
they get rid of the Aruni.

01:26:35.360 --> 01:26:37.320
But how they deal with the traps is they

01:26:37.320 --> 01:26:39.280
use the shields to bait out some of that utility.

01:26:39.280 --> 01:26:41.480
They bring the Brava to hack some of that denial,

01:26:41.480 --> 01:26:43.560
to hack those traps so they can start getting into site.

01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:45.720
And then they play their natural aggressive game

01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:46.680
where they play those.

01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:47.640
They play into the trades.

01:26:47.640 --> 01:26:50.600
They play into big 3Ks from some of these players specifically

01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:51.680
coming outside of Brenda.

01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:53.880
But once they swapped on that defensive half,

01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:56.080
that's where it really struck true to me

01:26:56.080 --> 01:26:57.560
in what their strategy was.

01:26:57.560 --> 01:27:00.520
And they were doing exactly what Twisted Minds likes to do on their defense

01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:02.600
and really got into the minds of Twisted Minds.

01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.880
I mean, you could tell that they were flustered once they got on that attacking half.

01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:09.240
And I'm really glad Mag had a chance to be able to chime in there

01:27:09.240 --> 01:27:11.080
because it looked like they had a great game plan.

01:27:11.080 --> 01:27:14.560
Even in the comms, when they called the timeout, Mag was very bullet point heavy.

01:27:14.560 --> 01:27:15.880
Exactly what they needed to do.

01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:18.560
On the side of Twisted Minds, it seemed like they were very shaken up.

01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:21.960
And their team comms, obviously, their coaches, they stand in on replacement,

01:27:21.960 --> 01:27:24.320
but it looked like they were just abandoning basics.

01:27:24.320 --> 01:27:26.960
This was round seven, one of the things that Mag highlighted.

01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:29.040
Their vertical play is just a good lock shot.

01:27:29.040 --> 01:27:31.920
If they get the first pick, they assume that site is clear.

01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:34.720
And as they push in, they try to push Jigsaw off,

01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:36.880
but he just rotates into the site because nobody

01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:37.800
is playing up top.

01:27:37.800 --> 01:27:40.160
So beautiful reading from Mag from the team,

01:27:40.160 --> 01:27:41.960
being able to understand that this is going to be the game

01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:42.480
plan.

01:27:42.480 --> 01:27:43.480
They're not playing up top.

01:27:43.480 --> 01:27:46.840
Let's abuse this entry into the site back to the retake

01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:48.640
because they're not having any coverage.

01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:51.280
And that's exactly what we saw all the way through every defense,

01:27:51.280 --> 01:27:54.840
them constantly being able to retake positions that Twisted

01:27:54.840 --> 01:27:55.880
Minds are fighting for.

01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:57.840
And that's the thing, both these teams, statistically,

01:27:57.840 --> 01:27:59.480
all their stats are relatively close.

01:27:59.480 --> 01:28:01.560
So when you're looking at a game of numbers here,

01:28:01.560 --> 01:28:02.640
you can't really focus on that.

01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:03.960
You have to focus on who's adapting,

01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:05.240
who's finding those pinpoints,

01:28:05.240 --> 01:28:06.640
who's able to take away these rounds.

01:28:06.640 --> 01:28:07.960
And Megan had said it best himself,

01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:09.600
and like you were saying, he was pinpointing

01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:11.760
each and every single thing that Twisted Minds

01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:13.680
was doing wrong and how he could capitalize on it.

01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:15.000
That is how you win a series.

01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:15.960
That's how you win a game.

01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:17.240
That's how you become a champion.

01:28:17.240 --> 01:28:19.840
And Megan knows what it takes to be at this level

01:28:19.840 --> 01:28:21.360
and what it's like to be here on stage.

01:28:21.360 --> 01:28:22.560
And he's doing a damn good job

01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:23.520
making sure they're all on time.

01:28:23.520 --> 01:28:28.920
Can he help his team get the job done in two is going to the opposition map in Clubhouse next?

01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:32.240
There's an S knew this was going to be a great series back to you guys

01:28:34.280 --> 01:28:37.520
Thank you very much, Mr. Chambers. It's clubhouse time Tim

01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:41.000
I said at the head of the series I could see this one being taken away by twisted minds

01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:43.000
They played it very well the other day

01:28:43.240 --> 01:28:46.400
Enterprise haven't found a win on it in the last six months

01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:50.400
But surely surely means we get a map three

01:28:50.400 --> 01:28:56.200
It really is feeling that way when you look at the recent history for enterprise. They're all in two here

01:28:56.200 --> 01:28:59.200
They did lose to G2 just a few days ago on clubhouse

01:28:59.200 --> 01:29:02.520
It was way more back in December that got the win against them as well

01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:09.280
So not the best history for enterprise on clubhouse, but that being said Mike comes in there

01:29:09.280 --> 01:29:10.840
We feel like we've won the map back

01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:17.240
We're gonna take this to zero and you look at it and think if they've predicted this pick coming in from twisted minds

01:29:17.240 --> 01:29:22.240
maybe we're going to really see something out of Enterprise here, maybe they've done a lot of work on that clubhouse.

01:29:22.240 --> 01:29:28.240
Maybe, maybe. I think the problem is during like a switch stage is you don't always know who your opponent's going to be.

01:29:28.240 --> 01:29:34.240
You have to have a few hours of prep time, you've got to sleep, wake up, play them, it's just not enough time to know what's going on realistically.

01:29:34.240 --> 01:29:39.240
And so I think when you come into a thing like today where you've had a couple of days of rest now to figure out what's going on,

01:29:39.240 --> 01:29:44.240
really dig into their map for a look at how they play things, it's why like we said during that tap time like in the previous game,

01:29:44.240 --> 01:29:47.940
the game. I'm not sure if you

01:29:48.240 --> 01:29:49.140
know that. I think it's a

01:29:49.240 --> 01:29:51.140
previous game or previous map.

01:29:51.240 --> 01:29:53.140
You heard so much a bullet

01:29:53.240 --> 01:29:54.140
point. This is lack described

01:29:54.240 --> 01:29:56.140
it coming out from Mac. I

01:29:56.240 --> 01:29:57.140
think this won't be a clear

01:29:57.240 --> 01:29:58.140
good story either, but I would

01:29:58.240 --> 01:29:59.140
expect twisted minds to get it

01:29:59.240 --> 01:30:01.140
over the line. Enterprise

01:30:01.240 --> 01:30:02.140
taking away the bullets and the

01:30:02.240 --> 01:30:03.140
blackbeard. It's adding that

01:30:03.240 --> 01:30:04.140
they don't want to deal with

01:30:04.240 --> 01:30:05.140
any of that. I said back on

01:30:05.240 --> 01:30:07.140
cafe. It was kind of something

01:30:07.240 --> 01:30:08.140
that twisted minds tried to do,

01:30:08.240 --> 01:30:10.140
but they didn't fully commit

01:30:10.240 --> 01:30:11.140
to it wanting to take the door

01:30:11.240 --> 01:30:12.140
could be out of things as well

01:30:12.240 --> 01:30:14.140
and Cairo really punished them

01:30:14.240 --> 01:30:19.280
to deal with guards as shown as some phenomenal performances on the shields so far. Not just

01:30:19.280 --> 01:30:25.120
in terms of bullying players, not just in terms of creating space, but even on the Monty hitting

01:30:25.120 --> 01:30:31.040
some unbelievable kills as well. So guards definitely want to watch here. We're going to see

01:30:31.040 --> 01:30:36.480
the snake picked away. I think that's pretty fair given that they're attacking onto Jim and

01:30:36.480 --> 01:30:41.360
bedroom. This should have a good idea here. How enterprise are going to be set up? There will

01:30:41.360 --> 01:30:44.000
will be your presence around cash and CCTV.

01:30:44.000 --> 01:30:46.480
They need to take control of that and move their way over

01:30:46.480 --> 01:30:48.840
or put jacuzzi wall pushed from both sides.

01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:51.680
They don't really need to worry too much about those specifics

01:30:51.680 --> 01:30:53.800
that's there, it's gonna give you.

01:30:53.800 --> 01:30:56.240
Come back to what I said at the start of the series, Tim.

01:30:56.240 --> 01:30:57.960
You look back at the defensive tendencies

01:30:57.960 --> 01:30:58.800
of both of these teams,

01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:00.080
how they played throughout the tournament,

01:31:00.080 --> 01:31:03.160
enterprise went very heavily into things like Mira,

01:31:03.160 --> 01:31:06.200
Coyo and Sami really tried to dig themselves in

01:31:06.200 --> 01:31:08.640
behind utility, that water man coming away,

01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:09.480
you might look and then go,

01:31:09.480 --> 01:31:13.680
It's what the football clubhouse and it is but I think it's quite specific in towards Enterprise

01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:16.600
It's going to force them to have to play the map a little more actively

01:31:16.680 --> 01:31:18.680
That's what you see him coming out here guards

01:31:19.080 --> 01:31:23.040
Coming across on towards the Monty played it in a good three rounds against you to the other day

01:31:23.040 --> 01:31:25.200
It was found away from him after three rounds

01:31:25.200 --> 01:31:28.880
I think Enterprise have looked at that game and gone. You know what he did quite a lot of damage with that

01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:30.880
Let's get it offline here and now

01:31:31.320 --> 01:31:34.160
You see Cairo on the bandit just up against that wall

01:31:34.160 --> 01:31:40.320
He's playing for the bandit trick at the time being the dances being done with tricks just outside on the thermite

01:31:40.320 --> 01:31:41.680
He's gonna get one here

01:31:41.680 --> 01:31:45.520
I think as the exothermic goes on that's been dealt with so it's a mind

01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:48.720
She's gonna have to do a little bit better. This is clubhouse 101

01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:52.680
This is why they've got her shum underneath and he has got a track, but it's on to bappin really

01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:56.000
It's got to be on towards pyro here to force him away from that wall

01:31:56.000 --> 01:31:59.480
So then get it open just the one exothermic left and available to them now

01:31:59.480 --> 01:32:04.040
They're going to bail on it entirely and instead go for a push over towards the other side of the map

01:32:04.040 --> 01:32:08.220
They don't work hot blood in being out to get it done to one elsewhere goes down as a player about the swing

01:32:08.220 --> 01:32:13.360
You know flash comes on through surely he falls down here guards drop in that shield finds a kill 5v3

01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:16.460
The twisted mind starting strong. Yeah, this is good

01:32:16.460 --> 01:32:19.800
The one problem that they've got at the minute is that that breach isn't open

01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:24.800
So as you can see enterprise are able to continue using CTT here

01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:28.800
Tricks has come back, breach now opens, a minute left on the clock.

01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:34.600
Enterprise are in big trouble because Swiss of Mines have got everything they need to be able to close this head.

01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:39.300
They've even got a shum underneath in lounge. The whole thing is controlled, guards can go in and plant.

01:32:39.300 --> 01:32:41.300
He's going to look at doing that immediately.

01:32:41.300 --> 01:32:44.300
Yeah, it's taking a lot to get this side of the map cleared out, but now they've done it, Tim.

01:32:44.300 --> 01:32:48.500
They should be able to move forward at quite some pace because they have this 5 vs 3.

01:32:48.500 --> 01:32:51.900
When you break in this dead hold and get two kills like that, it might take you two minutes,

01:32:51.900 --> 01:32:54.780
but you're still coming out with a significant advantage.

01:32:54.780 --> 01:32:57.100
And you've got a Monty to lead the charge.

01:32:57.100 --> 01:32:58.780
That is the stuff of dreams.

01:32:58.780 --> 01:33:01.180
Enterprise very much goes back inside site here

01:33:01.180 --> 01:33:02.860
as we get into these last 30 seconds.

01:33:02.860 --> 01:33:05.660
Karo not got a C4, so gonna have to come back upstairs now

01:33:05.660 --> 01:33:08.300
and rejoin his team as they lock in for this execute.

01:33:08.300 --> 01:33:10.380
Yeah, expected to see Garth pushing forward

01:33:10.380 --> 01:33:12.860
onto that construction door a little bit more aggressively,

01:33:12.860 --> 01:33:14.780
looking for that space to a plant,

01:33:14.780 --> 01:33:16.140
but he hasn't seen it through.

01:33:16.140 --> 01:33:18.140
Tricks does manage to take down Brendon,

01:33:18.140 --> 01:33:20.780
though 5 versus 2, just playing for kills at this point.

01:33:20.780 --> 01:33:27.780
15 seconds left to go. They can just bully the player that's left Cairo on the band. It doesn't know that it's one just around the corner.

01:33:28.780 --> 01:33:36.780
There's the peak! Jalad managed to take it out. I was a little bit concerned there. They took over all of it. They took lines, they took garage, they took that breach so quickly.

01:33:37.780 --> 01:33:48.780
Got into CCTV, worked their way through, but then kind of hit the breaks a little bit. It took 30, 40 seconds from there to get that mounted towards site, but ultimately they find the kills and they get it done.

01:33:48.780 --> 01:33:52.380
The one thing I said to you during the break was maturity.

01:33:52.380 --> 01:33:54.380
And I spoke about it for enterprise on the previous map.

01:33:54.380 --> 01:33:56.380
They've shown extreme maturity on cafe.

01:33:56.380 --> 01:33:58.780
The understanding of the method, the game plan they brought in,

01:33:58.780 --> 01:34:00.780
it was very, very established.

01:34:00.780 --> 01:34:03.780
Sovereignty from a team that goes on to win an event team.

01:34:03.780 --> 01:34:06.980
I think Toastie Mines has shown a little bit about that in that first round.

01:34:06.980 --> 01:34:09.980
When they saw that main break for Stuck, they didn't then try again and think,

01:34:09.980 --> 01:34:11.980
oh, what are we doing this wrong? What's going on?

01:34:11.980 --> 01:34:15.380
They've rotated everybody over and then applied pressure from the other side.

01:34:15.380 --> 01:34:16.980
While making sure the players are Brenda,

01:34:16.980 --> 01:34:20.980
were able to jump out of sight windows and get rid of them while they were trying to clear players out.

01:34:20.980 --> 01:34:23.980
Garza did a great job, along with, I don't know who it was on the garage door,

01:34:23.980 --> 01:34:26.980
but the two players pushing in there together is what freed up that breach.

01:34:26.980 --> 01:34:29.980
It may have taken two minutes, but they got two kills.

01:34:29.980 --> 01:34:33.980
Excellent first round showing real adaptability from the men aside.

01:34:33.980 --> 01:34:34.980
Down to the base of the go-to.

01:34:34.980 --> 01:34:38.980
Now, Sheila and Matthew will be in every present operator for these first three rounds.

01:34:38.980 --> 01:34:40.980
Yeah, it was a good process.

01:34:40.980 --> 01:34:42.980
Run towards the man, it's a good bounce background.

01:34:42.980 --> 01:34:47.300
having lost that last map and you do look at this now and think that was fairly

01:34:47.300 --> 01:34:50.940
comprehensive from them. Enterprise is going to have to really show us something

01:34:50.940 --> 01:34:53.900
different. They're going to be down in the basement just having a look at where

01:34:53.900 --> 01:34:57.900
everybody's located. There's only two of them on site at the minute. Tuan and

01:34:57.900 --> 01:35:02.500
Bapham will be tasked with holding it down, Brenda rejoins. But Cairo and Jigsoth

01:35:02.500 --> 01:35:07.140
they're just going to stay up above a little bit. It's only kind of a half-dome I would say.

01:35:07.140 --> 01:35:11.020
They're not too aggressively out into site. There's nobody on the top floor and

01:35:11.020 --> 01:35:14.300
pretty much within touch and distance as I so there's an opportunity for

01:35:14.300 --> 01:35:17.740
Mr. Mines to get in here aggressively and take that map control.

01:35:17.740 --> 01:35:19.660
I'll raise the car if there's a spin on Main Stairs again.

01:35:19.660 --> 01:35:22.460
Just gotta stand on top floor. Why not? It was so well before.

01:35:22.460 --> 01:35:25.660
That was conditional on the diffuser being down in front of his feet but

01:35:25.660 --> 01:35:29.420
it was that kind of aggression that very much twisted Tristig Mines' nickers a

01:35:29.420 --> 01:35:31.900
little bit and couldn't quite figure their way through it.

01:35:31.900 --> 01:35:34.780
Here taking things slow though, no need to rush.

01:35:34.780 --> 01:35:37.580
It's been down that pit, you know, they've got a very good understanding of it.

01:35:37.580 --> 01:35:40.180
No doubt a good idea of how Enterprise play it.

01:35:40.180 --> 01:35:42.740
Both these teams have played G2 on this map this week.

01:35:42.740 --> 01:35:44.180
There is recent push from both.

01:35:44.180 --> 01:35:47.020
That's definitely contributed towards the Operator Band that we've got.

01:35:47.020 --> 01:35:49.380
But no doubt we'll also influence how the game is played.

01:35:51.100 --> 01:35:53.020
A lot of verticality going on now

01:35:53.020 --> 01:35:55.660
is going to force Cairo back deeper towards site.

01:35:55.660 --> 01:35:58.340
Not going to be able to play main stairs anymore.

01:35:58.340 --> 01:36:00.740
Top floor control and map control now

01:36:00.740 --> 01:36:03.300
is completely in the hands of Twisted Minds.

01:36:03.300 --> 01:36:06.380
So they will start on that process of opening up the hatches.

01:36:06.380 --> 01:36:09.820
They'll have a look inside the side, they'll be a little bit more drawn in to happen.

01:36:09.820 --> 01:36:15.340
What utility can we clear? Where is the space going to come from? Where is the execute point?

01:36:17.340 --> 01:36:21.580
I wasted tons of time, nearly on that main stairs, hold, and as you've seen for a while now,

01:36:21.580 --> 01:36:24.860
twisted minds have been getting these verticals. They've got a lot of the control that they need.

01:36:25.660 --> 01:36:28.860
And one cross there, ready for execute. Just yet Tim, they've only got a move of couple of players

01:36:28.860 --> 01:36:31.980
over towards blue to make that happen. I say that, we've got Gelado over there,

01:36:31.980 --> 01:36:35.580
we've got the Capitao down inside of oil. They are ready to push in. They're just waiting for

01:36:35.580 --> 01:36:37.980
for this west side of the map and fully set up ready for the hit.

01:36:37.980 --> 01:36:40.180
That's it, they've got him fully surrounded at the minute.

01:36:40.180 --> 01:36:42.980
An enterprise, they're going to be turning on their heels

01:36:42.980 --> 01:36:45.180
for the rest of this round realistically,

01:36:45.180 --> 01:36:48.180
because as soon as Twisted Bind starts moving forward,

01:36:48.180 --> 01:36:50.180
it's going to be crashing from every single side.

01:36:50.180 --> 01:36:51.980
The Denarius are covering multiple hatches.

01:36:51.980 --> 01:36:53.580
Really good setup they've got going on.

01:36:53.580 --> 01:36:56.180
The Bapham, the Denarius out first and fourth.

01:36:56.180 --> 01:36:57.980
This utility starts coming on three.

01:36:57.980 --> 01:37:00.380
You've seen all the ringleys go down, two kills go their way.

01:37:00.380 --> 01:37:02.980
At least one got faxed in the form of a C4 for July.

01:37:02.980 --> 01:37:05.180
With a wonderful swing, finds two hunts.

01:37:05.180 --> 01:37:09.580
Tricks into another, got one on the top of the back of it, but no, Penalty with the close.

01:37:09.580 --> 01:37:13.380
Twisted Minds in dominant form here in 2-0 on the attack.

01:37:13.380 --> 01:37:16.660
Just looking like a completely different team to the one that we saw on Café.

01:37:16.660 --> 01:37:20.580
Absolutely on top of things, so much so that Enterprise are going to call the timeout.

01:37:24.180 --> 01:37:25.980
No, this is the round that discusses close on the fucking thing.

01:37:25.980 --> 01:37:27.580
Alright guys, listen, there's a timeout, okay?

01:37:27.580 --> 01:37:28.380
I'm fine.

01:37:28.380 --> 01:37:32.380
What we can do is we can run for the top floor once, we can run out Bunkers traps.

01:37:32.380 --> 01:37:33.980
I don't think we should... Do you want to run?

01:37:33.980 --> 01:37:35.980
Do you want to go on the track?

01:37:35.980 --> 01:37:38.980
Not the TM1, it's just our bunker, more default tracks.

01:37:38.980 --> 01:37:40.980
That was a really default track.

01:37:40.980 --> 01:37:41.980
What are we playing really quick?

01:37:41.980 --> 01:37:43.980
All we need to do, pick the site now.

01:37:43.980 --> 01:37:45.980
CCM, it's nice.

01:37:45.980 --> 01:37:50.980
Let's play the fallback tracks and then play on our utility end there.

01:37:50.980 --> 01:37:55.980
If we can play more traps for Blue because they're double Blue plays, let's do it.

01:37:55.980 --> 01:38:00.980
But listen, let's play the fallbacks and bunker on site because these guys are really fucking slow.

01:38:00.980 --> 01:38:06.780
Okay, let's just make sure he walks. We talked to him. We worked together and we call our reactions and our wind conditions. Okay?

01:38:06.780 --> 01:38:08.780
We're not delegating cross angles as well, guys.

01:38:08.780 --> 01:38:09.780
Exactly. Let's get him. No, sorry.

01:38:09.780 --> 01:38:11.780
Let's not panic. Let's just delegate, okay?

01:38:11.780 --> 01:38:12.780
Yeah.

01:38:14.280 --> 01:38:17.780
So for those of you here in the venue, largely the call there being, let's play a bit more default.

01:38:17.780 --> 01:38:20.780
The boys saying, well, we kind of already have tried that, which Mag was then saying,

01:38:20.780 --> 01:38:26.780
cool, let's play more traps to protect Blue a little bit better than then fall back and play off by utility in the late round.

01:38:26.780 --> 01:38:34.780
But, looking to that, Tim, I'm seeing it a little bit here compared to what we saw back on Cafe, is it is as slow as twisted mines, and maybe we're used to, maybe there's something to exploit there.

01:38:36.780 --> 01:38:50.780
I don't know. I'd be a little bit concerned. I think, you know, obviously looking at round one, yes, twisted mines, I'd commented on it at the time, we're a little bit slowing, even across ones, they've got that map control, you know, and taking themselves onto site.

01:38:50.780 --> 01:38:55.700
But if you think about what Mike said there, which was, you know, let's try and bunker up a little bit more

01:38:55.700 --> 01:38:59.720
Let's play those traps bunker up like that's what they did in the last round

01:38:59.720 --> 01:39:05.540
And Twisted Minds decimated them. They got them. There was kills coming in from Hushamid Malto

01:39:05.540 --> 01:39:10.420
There was kills coming in from Jordin Blue. There was absolutely nowhere comfortable for them

01:39:10.420 --> 01:39:18.740
So in all honesty, if I'm enterpised, I'd be a little bit concerned about playing the bunker strategy because I feel like Twisted Minds are gonna pick you apart

01:39:48.740 --> 01:39:53.140
are gone so they still have to work on getting this breach open they try to do so they're going to

01:39:53.140 --> 01:39:58.660
find a few shots off and a bit of scarrows pellets but they do have at this point a small breach

01:39:58.660 --> 01:40:03.380
of thing yeah there we go so it's enough it's enough to keep people out of CCTV.

01:40:04.020 --> 01:40:07.620
I mean Garth probably focus on getting his way in towards garage same as last time

01:40:08.180 --> 01:40:12.420
did require that little Q3V1 onto the Azami the flashes became up we really enabled Garth to

01:40:12.420 --> 01:40:17.460
drop the shield get the kill and then start there march on forward to clear out this part of the map

01:40:17.460 --> 01:40:22.140
Bakun is at least set and ready, and the adaptation this time, as you'll see, is they've got a warden on side.

01:40:22.140 --> 01:40:24.700
They know the flushes for the main reason that he went down last time.

01:40:24.700 --> 01:40:26.820
So Twisted Minds would have dated in response to that, Tim.

01:40:26.820 --> 01:40:29.300
As part of that 3 or 4 moves ahead, Jet Scare may have to play.

01:40:29.300 --> 01:40:31.700
They're brought along a capitol to burn him out instead.

01:40:34.140 --> 01:40:37.780
Are they aware? Jigsaw had himself away down in Oil Peak.

01:40:37.780 --> 01:40:41.500
Good play, Spiral, I think they know exactly where he is.

01:40:41.500 --> 01:40:43.420
What a beautiful view we get of it as well.

01:40:43.420 --> 01:40:46.700
In comes the nade! Fantastic play from Ash-Yam.

01:40:46.700 --> 01:40:50.540
using DMOS and that need to get the job done.

01:40:50.540 --> 01:40:53.740
P9 finds Bakker and this is what I was concerned about.

01:40:53.740 --> 01:40:56.940
If you play too passive against the Twisted Binds team,

01:40:56.940 --> 01:41:00.300
if you try to bunker up, if you try to play turtle,

01:41:00.300 --> 01:41:02.140
they are going to punish you.

01:41:02.140 --> 01:41:03.420
They've even tried to play around the map,

01:41:03.420 --> 01:41:04.780
but they've been still being punished.

01:41:04.780 --> 01:41:07.500
Again, Twisted Mind showing great maturity on the map,

01:41:07.500 --> 01:41:10.540
a very good understanding of what Enterprise are looking to do

01:41:10.540 --> 01:41:13.100
and have so far found the answer.

01:41:13.100 --> 01:41:15.500
Very limited utility now available for Enterprise.

01:41:15.500 --> 01:41:18.860
We heard Max Kool play behind utility. What utility?

01:41:18.860 --> 01:41:21.500
B9 getting the trade on to Brenda with 3B2.

01:41:21.500 --> 01:41:23.820
Make it two as Kyro has gotten the ball back.

01:41:23.820 --> 01:41:26.700
You said yourself that's been the most clutched team so far.

01:41:26.700 --> 01:41:29.260
Even the tournament, are they able to find another?

01:41:29.260 --> 01:41:33.340
No! God, just about gets the job done on the Monty.

01:41:33.340 --> 01:41:35.340
He was under serious pressure,

01:41:35.340 --> 01:41:37.740
but he showed us again his ability

01:41:37.740 --> 01:41:41.180
to be able to cause out those rounds behind the shield.

01:41:41.180 --> 01:41:43.100
3-0, twisted minds.

01:41:43.100 --> 01:41:49.900
and what was a phenomenal start to the match for Enterprise is now turning into a bit of a nightmare on Clubhouse.

01:41:51.900 --> 01:41:57.700
What's also really impressive to him is every player on the side of Twisted Minds has a cost of 100%.

01:41:57.700 --> 01:42:04.700
Everyone's making themselves a herd. They're all getting involved. It's a real team effort to get themselves to this point.

01:42:04.700 --> 01:42:09.700
Now, Enterprise needs to turn it round. They've had the tap time-up. There's nothing more they can do.

01:42:09.700 --> 01:42:13.700
We heard the call from Mag during attack time-up and playing on the basement around blue.

01:42:13.700 --> 01:42:17.220
We need to play more traps. That's why you've got the Ella coming along.

01:42:17.220 --> 01:42:21.220
Something tells me, Tim, just in mind, maybe I'll just find our way through that problem as well.

01:42:21.220 --> 01:42:25.620
Yeah, I think that's the reality at the minute for Enterprises.

01:42:25.620 --> 01:42:26.660
You've got to win gunfights.

01:42:26.660 --> 01:42:27.160
Yeah.

01:42:27.160 --> 01:42:28.660
You've got to win gunfights.

01:42:28.660 --> 01:42:31.700
It doesn't really seem to matter, you know, what they bring on.

01:42:31.700 --> 01:42:32.420
They was so...

01:42:32.420 --> 01:42:33.380
I think it was P.

01:42:33.380 --> 01:42:36.820
If we're talking about traps, you know, there was a razor bloom, got a kill there.

01:42:36.820 --> 01:42:40.660
there was other traps involved but it's still not been enough to get them over the line.

01:42:40.660 --> 01:42:41.780
I'll give them that one.

01:42:41.780 --> 01:42:47.180
Monty was one HP. That was... that's unfortunate that he didn't manage to get the kill in the first place with the Super Shorty.

01:42:47.180 --> 01:42:51.740
But that's how the game goes. Sometimes, Timmy can come down to a single point of HP.

01:42:51.740 --> 01:42:54.820
Basically, that's where we're heading to. We're probably going to see a bit of a road in the park.

01:42:54.820 --> 01:42:58.180
Even with its line of gypsum especially being on the Scott Boss, going to go and play out.

01:42:58.180 --> 01:43:01.580
Reinforce the kick inside the strip. We saw this one with Scott Boss first game out.

01:43:01.580 --> 01:43:04.740
And I want to say it was Leaky Fat was one of the first players to make great use of it.

01:43:04.740 --> 01:43:08.060
Play the stop boss out here, of course, and things like that get any bit too heated.

01:43:08.060 --> 01:43:10.860
You just teleport back to your other shell and use it for themselves.

01:43:12.220 --> 01:43:13.660
Simple as that does.

01:43:13.660 --> 01:43:16.020
Simple as that, the only problem at the minute.

01:43:16.020 --> 01:43:17.420
I'm pretty surprised.

01:43:17.420 --> 01:43:20.900
It's the twist of mind to preventing anything being simple right now.

01:43:20.900 --> 01:43:24.100
They have all the answers as it stands.

01:43:24.100 --> 01:43:26.100
Of course, tricks on that snake.

01:43:26.100 --> 01:43:30.580
It's going to be a great option to try and go and track down anybody on the outside.

01:43:30.580 --> 01:43:33.020
They've got the fuse as well with guards.

01:43:33.020 --> 01:43:34.340
Yep, take them onto your way.

01:43:34.340 --> 01:43:40.940
Blackbeard puts up with the Fuse Shield instead, and I'm going to bring some pretty nasty utility along with it.

01:43:40.940 --> 01:43:47.140
Very often we see teams not even bothering to use the utility to fuse it, it's just the fact that there is a shield there and sometimes you need them.

01:43:47.140 --> 01:43:49.740
The half of each charge is also being available.

01:43:49.740 --> 01:43:56.140
And a site like this, Tim, when you've got a lot to destroy downstairs, we're seeing the castle, we're seeing the keepers, we're seeing of course the Goya, why not?

01:43:56.140 --> 01:44:02.140
There's a lot of pressure here as three players all come together to try and get rid of Bap and the Shundas, go down to the fire.

01:44:02.140 --> 01:44:09.140
That's not super ideal, but it's a 4 vs 4 shield that has some questions inside the sight of Jigsaw and the weak dispatch of the guards.

01:44:09.140 --> 01:44:15.640
Twisted mines getting so aggressive here, we said that they thrive in the chaos, and that's exactly what they're trying to create.

01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:23.140
We see the Soloton radar scan goes out, two hand down, all up to Brenda, 1v3, trying to fight his way back in,

01:44:23.140 --> 01:44:28.140
but you just know it's not very likely at this point your lag will finish that kill off.

01:44:28.140 --> 01:44:36.000
to the left and that's going to be twisted minds for zero and starting to really run away on clubhouse opportunity spot and Tim

01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:40.440
They identified once they've broken the blue hole that everyone else was off roaming around the map

01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:42.080
So why not just hit site?

01:44:42.080 --> 01:44:45.600
Why not flood all the way through even when they lost the shield?

01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:50.760
They have two or three players stepping into all the AK's and you saw the outcome players on the side of enterprise

01:44:50.760 --> 01:44:55.080
That's a scam for that down to basement. We couldn't get there in time a brilliant round

01:44:55.080 --> 01:45:00.720
that's mega.

01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:04.720
Talking in the old track coming from

01:45:04.720 --> 01:45:08.720
Swiss combines as well, they are quite happy to play back into the mind games.

01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:12.720
And I thought there was there was points where I wondered if to suppose we're

01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:15.720
maybe just getting a little bit of a head of themselves getting caught out with

01:45:15.720 --> 01:45:19.720
the destructible ingredients and things like that. But no, they just had such a

01:45:19.720 --> 01:45:23.720
good read on where everybody was. And the showing why clubhouse was there

01:45:23.720 --> 01:45:28.440
why Clubhouse was their map choice was zero no and they're going to be attacking on the top floor

01:45:28.440 --> 01:45:34.120
It's going to be jimmy bedroom again Enterprise last time around they did hold to a sub-binds a bear for a lot of the round

01:45:34.280 --> 01:45:39.340
But we're unable to get it done in the last 20 30 seconds. That's where I feel Enterprise

01:45:39.600 --> 01:45:46.400
They've really got to find that difference is that last minute. It's got to be winning the gun fights when that push comes

01:45:46.400 --> 01:45:50.840
When that three two one comes from to a sub-binds and they start to move forward

01:45:50.840 --> 01:46:01.840
Enterprises have got to find some some gunfights. They've got to find some kills and keep themselves in this. The trading from Enterprise on Kafe was brilliant. It's been non-existent here.

01:46:01.840 --> 01:46:08.840
And I think that comes down to what we spoke about in the second half of Kafe, saying Enterprise very established, looked very familiar to what they had the response to.

01:46:08.840 --> 01:46:15.840
Everything coming out through the side, twisted minds to the ones solving problems incredibly quickly and always having the right tools for the job.

01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:20.840
I don't think it matters what Enterprise do, they play out on the road and they get crushed, they play inside a site, they get crushed.

01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:24.840
Just in mind that it's good if this matters, simply that against G2 they took 4 attacks as well.

01:46:24.840 --> 01:46:31.840
And G2 also aren't a particularly strong clubhouse team, but you would expect them to be able to hold up on the defenses a few more times than they did.

01:46:31.840 --> 01:46:34.840
Maybe it's just just in mind that the Cairns are attacking this match in.

01:46:34.840 --> 01:46:36.840
They cover, it's on.

01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:38.840
Certainly lucky like it right now.

01:46:38.840 --> 01:46:43.840
Gonna send it to Extro and just tries to get the Vulcan canister but doesn't manage.

01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:47.380
a big moment there for Enterprise. They've got to be so careful because they've only

01:46:47.380 --> 01:46:50.680
got one frag grenade outside here and that's a P9. Of course you step back to try and throw

01:46:50.680 --> 01:46:53.560
the Nade, there's a good chance the player swings on you at the same time. He's got

01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:57.400
to be really, really careful. Without it, they can't just march up here. It's one of

01:46:57.400 --> 01:47:00.440
the first rounds too. In fact, it is the first round. We haven't got a shield on side.

01:47:00.440 --> 01:47:04.440
He's just in their guns for this round to get the job done as Cairo. Force back, but

01:47:04.440 --> 01:47:09.160
he's slowly burning out. There are a lot of damage onto the flash. That's the last

01:47:09.160 --> 01:47:13.560
option really, to be able to clear out that Vulcan canister at the top of Garage Stairs.

01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:20.480
This is becoming a real pain point for them, but that's what they need to do fine kills

01:47:20.480 --> 01:47:23.720
I'll swear so you're effectively just leaving back and out in the cold

01:47:23.720 --> 01:47:27.920
We can't clear that position. Okay, we'll make the position irrelevant jigsaw

01:47:27.920 --> 01:47:34.320
Managers to find out though the fight continues around construction and cash those are the areas they need to get a hold of

01:47:34.320 --> 01:47:37.080
But bap and gets caught out just slightly too

01:47:37.080 --> 01:47:44.080
Oh, on the keeper, Barakir Jolad walks in and has himself a field day in construction.

01:47:44.080 --> 01:47:47.080
They really fell asleep at the wheel of our enterprise, Tim.

01:47:47.080 --> 01:47:50.080
They had three players in construction, all watching in towards Cache.

01:47:50.080 --> 01:47:55.080
You see, try and waste time, but this comes back to what we saw the last time we were on this site.

01:47:55.080 --> 01:47:58.080
A good two minutes were burnt out on the run. They lost two players.

01:47:58.080 --> 01:48:03.080
Honestly, there, let his army go and get back towards site. That would have been the play.

01:48:03.080 --> 01:48:06.080
But they just held on a bit too long to that extended hold, thinking that was their key to victory.

01:48:06.080 --> 01:48:11.420
the key to victory, but you'll add four kills in this exact same position as you're seeing

01:48:11.420 --> 01:48:12.420
on the replay.

01:48:12.420 --> 01:48:17.420
A bit too much Devon Enterprise and Twisted Minds are up five and zero.

01:48:17.420 --> 01:48:23.180
Whoa, you did that.

01:48:23.180 --> 01:48:25.340
Just brilliant stuff from both sides so far.

01:48:25.340 --> 01:48:30.180
Great Enterprise on Kafe and a great Twisted Minds here on Clubhouse and this is exactly

01:48:30.180 --> 01:48:31.180
what we wanted to see.

01:48:31.180 --> 01:48:35.020
Both of these teams having their moments, delivering their best on the stage, showing

01:48:35.020 --> 01:48:39.740
that they belong there, and then we get a showdown on Fortress as to who goes through.

01:48:39.740 --> 01:48:41.500
That's not there yet!

01:48:41.500 --> 01:48:44.940
There is every possibility for Enterprise to come back into this, of course,

01:48:44.940 --> 01:48:47.780
which, since I commented on it before, we even played around.

01:48:47.780 --> 01:48:50.900
Enterprise have shown a great ability to dig deep.

01:48:50.900 --> 01:48:56.260
They've shown that mental resolve, that ability to find their way back into games.

01:48:56.260 --> 01:48:59.260
It's going to have to be a hell of a fight this time though, does it?

01:48:59.260 --> 01:49:02.460
Fortress is that one map that I really can't call between these two.

01:49:02.460 --> 01:49:06.060
Sort of beat them early in the fall, okay, club Twisted Minds, they play really well in the day.

01:49:06.060 --> 01:49:09.020
Enterprise time at 1 and 6 months, that's going to be a Twisted Minds map.

01:49:09.020 --> 01:49:12.220
Café, Enterprise, they know that Twisted Minds also like that map.

01:49:12.220 --> 01:49:16.860
The only reason they go there is if they have a response to what they've seen, and my God, did they have one?

01:49:16.860 --> 01:49:20.700
But Fortress, I think, is going to be the real tiebreaker, and actually it is.

01:49:20.700 --> 01:49:23.180
Whoever wins that one moves on to the semi-finals.

01:49:23.180 --> 01:49:25.820
Reminder again of what it means to both of these teams to him.

01:49:25.820 --> 01:49:26.620
That's huge.

01:49:26.620 --> 01:49:31.020
Six years, as we've seen, Magikorps on that stage, these players have never been on the main stage before.

01:49:31.020 --> 01:49:36.720
Twisted mines although they've made it to the top eight three times on any soil have never made it into a semi-final

01:49:37.220 --> 01:49:41.980
Someone's gonna make history for themselves here, but it's gonna take four just to figure it out. I think if this carries on

01:49:47.220 --> 01:49:49.220
Yeah

01:49:52.980 --> 01:49:56.500
Construction will keep an eye on where he is is currently pushing for blue

01:49:56.500 --> 01:50:02.060
which is it's been his position when they've been attacking church and arsenal and continues to make it is we're gonna have

01:50:02.060 --> 01:50:05.560
The hatch is being opened super quick work again from twisted minds

01:50:05.560 --> 01:50:11.340
And this was always the problem that I saw with what Mike said, you know, let's play down to bunkering up

01:50:11.340 --> 01:50:16.680
Let's try and waste their time if you give them the ground twisted minds are gonna take it quickly

01:50:16.700 --> 01:50:22.920
They're gonna aggress they're gonna find kills and that's the problem for enterprise trying to hold me on the air inside a site

01:50:23.340 --> 01:50:25.340
I'm not too sure about this

01:50:25.340 --> 01:50:30.780
Well, not a lot has worked so far, Tim. Maybe this time it's a little bit different.

01:50:30.780 --> 01:50:33.100
First time I've been the drone blocker's coming out as well, the whole tournament.

01:50:33.100 --> 01:50:36.860
I haven't seen it used as a gadget prior, but here we are now with Brenda.

01:50:36.860 --> 01:50:40.060
Tried to mine formation away from the other side, and I guess it's somewhat working.

01:50:40.060 --> 01:50:41.420
The Belize Man should get an entry.

01:50:41.420 --> 01:50:44.300
Their second of the game, interesting if the other entry was Cairo.

01:50:44.300 --> 01:50:48.060
Back in round three, upstairs on Cache and CC.

01:50:48.060 --> 01:50:51.740
Can they hold on? They get ready to land. The demon in the server right now.

01:50:51.740 --> 01:50:54.460
Cairo finally falls down, Tim. 3v4, just in mind.

01:50:54.460 --> 01:50:58.820
The question is, are they aware of Hasham wandering his way down long at the minute?

01:50:58.820 --> 01:51:01.540
He's gonna have to have a huge impact, shilling it all.

01:51:01.540 --> 01:51:03.980
As the peak comes around the corner, he takes damage.

01:51:03.980 --> 01:51:06.020
This has to be the round for enterprise.

01:51:06.020 --> 01:51:07.140
They need to close this out.

01:51:07.140 --> 01:51:10.220
Prendall manages to find Hasham, shuts down the ramp.

01:51:10.220 --> 01:51:12.380
It's all up to guards 1v4.

01:51:12.380 --> 01:51:15.260
He has time, but he has very little else.

01:51:15.260 --> 01:51:17.140
No Selmas, no Flashers.

01:51:17.140 --> 01:51:21.380
There is nothing for him to go on other than gun skill alone for this one, dead.

01:51:21.380 --> 01:51:29.380
Yeah, I think a 1v4 might be a bit much, even for him, he's had some wonderful rounds throughout the competition, but I think he might be asking just a little bit too much.

01:51:29.380 --> 01:51:37.380
I think it's really quite important here that we see one round going this side of Enterprise 2. You go into that second half 6-0, you know you've got to be right in every single round.

01:51:37.380 --> 01:51:44.380
You can make no mistakes. At least here they get one air quotes life to play with before OT is at least guaranteed.

01:51:44.380 --> 01:51:47.620
Guarantee but twisted minds out of Magentine. They'll be looking at this and thinking well

01:51:47.820 --> 01:51:51.780
We managed to absolutely clear G2R in the second half of the day. We didn't drop a single round

01:51:52.100 --> 01:51:58.540
Surely this could be done. Let's listen zero zero. We're resetting. We're taking it round by round. Okay scoreboard does not fucking matter

01:51:58.540 --> 01:52:04.140
Yes, yeah, yeah, guys. We're just gonna do the stuff that car is written up. Okay, direct

01:52:09.500 --> 01:52:13.420
We used to do okay, let's just be careful of the right corners, okay

01:52:13.420 --> 01:52:16.220
Make sure we extra drone, make sure we take our time, okay?

01:52:16.220 --> 01:52:19.620
The biggest thing, guys, is we're not doing everything too fast.

01:52:19.620 --> 01:52:22.420
We're doing everything together, step by step, okay?

01:52:22.420 --> 01:52:24.020
It's okay if we're slow.

01:52:24.020 --> 01:52:27.020
We've proven that on our last map cafe, okay?

01:52:27.020 --> 01:52:30.020
So let's just make sure we're working together on the next step, okay?

01:52:30.020 --> 01:52:34.020
For the last time in Play Club against G2, it was all over the place, okay?

01:52:34.020 --> 01:52:37.020
So let's get our Michaels in, let's get our 321s in,

01:52:37.020 --> 01:52:39.020
and let's just go step by step.

01:52:39.020 --> 01:52:41.620
Just be careful for the Hoshong loaves, okay?

01:52:41.620 --> 01:52:45.620
If you think they're not gonna do something silly, they're gonna do the silly thing. Okay, let's do it.

01:52:45.620 --> 01:52:46.620
Yeah.

01:52:46.620 --> 01:52:49.620
Thank you to any other APAC team, aggressive APAC team. Okay?

01:52:49.620 --> 01:52:52.620
The squad is not bad at all. We're playing 0-0 round by round.

01:52:52.620 --> 01:52:55.620
Okay, but we win the next round, but we lose the next round.

01:52:55.620 --> 01:52:57.620
Let's just make sure we reset and do everything together, okay?

01:52:57.620 --> 01:52:58.620
Yes, let's grab our nuts.

01:52:58.620 --> 01:52:59.620
Yes, sir.

01:52:59.620 --> 01:53:01.620
In the blue thing, you know?

01:53:01.620 --> 01:53:03.620
Okay, guys, they usually just do the same thing.

01:53:03.620 --> 01:53:05.620
I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.

01:53:05.620 --> 01:53:06.620
Garage and T-Shelf.

01:53:06.620 --> 01:53:08.620
Pass, don't put it above the drums, don't put it above the drums.

01:53:08.620 --> 01:53:09.620
Okay, okay, okay.

01:53:09.620 --> 01:53:16.900
They only go for default things in the gym, they usually prepare jacuzzi and be a while they hunt so you can hold one meter

01:53:16.900 --> 01:53:18.900
And if they bring to termite I can

01:53:19.460 --> 01:53:21.460
For this step

01:53:39.620 --> 01:53:40.660
We will start below.

01:53:40.660 --> 01:53:42.660
Let's do the new Rom.

01:53:42.660 --> 01:54:08.500
The new

01:54:08.500 --> 01:54:13.720
back on cafe. He said it was a real mess against G2 last time around. Hopefully this should

01:54:13.720 --> 01:54:17.500
be able to be an improvement on what happened in the day.

01:54:17.500 --> 01:54:22.180
Twisted mines I think are going to come in here and my one concern for twisted mines

01:54:22.180 --> 01:54:27.620
would be because it's 5-1 on the scoreboard and they are that chaotic team, they are that

01:54:27.620 --> 01:54:32.180
aggressive team. Don't burn that lead. Don't come in thinking, yeah, we've got a couple

01:54:32.180 --> 01:54:36.740
of rounds to spare. You know, just come in and get the job done. Just come in, lock

01:54:36.740 --> 01:54:38.740
You don't need the crazy

01:54:38.740 --> 01:54:40.740
rooms. You don't need the crazy

01:54:40.740 --> 01:54:42.740
players. Just play this solid

01:54:42.740 --> 01:54:44.740
and make like difficult friends

01:54:44.740 --> 01:54:46.740
prize. If they will be what they

01:54:46.740 --> 01:54:48.740
do, we will see as this one

01:54:48.740 --> 01:54:50.740
progresses. We move into round

01:54:50.740 --> 01:54:52.740
seven. It's going to be down to

01:54:52.740 --> 01:54:54.740
church and Arsenal. A terrible

01:54:54.740 --> 01:54:56.740
start for enterprise here really.

01:54:56.740 --> 01:54:58.740
You've got to go to one of the

01:54:58.740 --> 01:55:00.740
best defensive sites in the game

01:55:00.740 --> 01:55:02.740
and if you don't win it, you're

01:55:02.740 --> 01:55:04.740
six one down. Huge, huge about a

01:55:04.740 --> 01:55:08.580
of the upstairs around your bedroom being an absolute nuisance.

01:55:08.580 --> 01:55:11.620
We also got being forced into going down in cache CC here,

01:55:11.620 --> 01:55:12.980
fairly ahold intended.

01:55:12.980 --> 01:55:15.940
Bytisted mines, run the clock down, forced them to be slow.

01:55:15.940 --> 01:55:16.580
Five seconds.

01:55:16.580 --> 01:55:20.420
Well, I think Tyra having access to that blitz along with the line with Jigsaw,

01:55:20.420 --> 01:55:22.500
they could move through the map pretty quickly,

01:55:22.500 --> 01:55:26.100
but again, crucially what Magz said was, do it as a team.

01:55:26.100 --> 01:55:35.780
the top floor. P9 is out in

01:55:35.880 --> 01:55:37.780
strips, so lots of work here

01:55:37.880 --> 01:55:39.780
for enterprise to do. Join in

01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:43.780
the window floor as well. He's

01:55:43.880 --> 01:55:48.180
such a wrap. Every round. Every

01:55:48.280 --> 01:55:51.300
round without fail. Just making

01:55:51.400 --> 01:55:52.600
sure that he has the safety to

01:55:52.700 --> 01:55:54.700
get back to doorstep. This is

01:55:54.700 --> 01:55:59.540
Careful about not getting cut off here. We hear the drone just outside. They're gonna say surely it's time

01:55:59.540 --> 01:56:01.900
It's not he's still gonna stay there. Honestly

01:56:02.460 --> 01:56:05.700
They've got they know about it. Brenda's waiting to try and cut his way back through

01:56:05.700 --> 01:56:08.980
Do they know that he's down on the floor though? Surely they've got an inkling about it, Tim

01:56:09.420 --> 01:56:12.180
Otherwise, this could be absolutely catastrophic same as before though

01:56:12.180 --> 01:56:15.260
He did this to them back in the first half and made in the corner will force him to move

01:56:15.260 --> 01:56:19.260
And that's about it from Nong! Steps up before they can even dominate him!

01:56:19.260 --> 01:56:21.260
Another keeper goes down!

01:56:21.260 --> 01:56:24.260
Recover once again and run out from July for the support.

01:56:24.260 --> 01:56:26.260
This is wonderful from Twisted Mind.

01:56:26.260 --> 01:56:28.260
Yeah, it really is. They're working together.

01:56:28.260 --> 01:56:30.260
Absolute clockwork here. Oh my god.

01:56:30.260 --> 01:56:31.260
Managers to get another.

01:56:31.260 --> 01:56:34.260
Getting one in there is unlikely.

01:56:34.260 --> 01:56:36.260
Getting two. Unforgivable from Enterprise.

01:56:36.260 --> 01:56:39.260
Allowing him a second. Jigsaw manages to find P9.

01:56:39.260 --> 01:56:42.260
That's at least something for Enterprise.

01:56:42.260 --> 01:56:45.720
trade game has not been there since cafe four versus three

01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:48.500
to a summons of completely dropped back to site now damage

01:56:48.500 --> 01:56:51.440
done half of the round burnt and they will just wait for

01:56:51.440 --> 01:56:54.680
enterprise to push. Like we're saying during the hard time

01:56:54.680 --> 01:56:57.240
looks like playing as any of the way practice team you know

01:56:57.240 --> 01:56:59.880
what to expect and I think there's going to be a reminder

01:56:59.880 --> 01:57:03.080
team that that is absolutely correct. That is such balls

01:57:03.080 --> 01:57:06.120
you play from a shot nearly every single key were being used

01:57:06.120 --> 01:57:08.480
to commit on that window. They've got away with two kills at

01:57:08.480 --> 01:57:11.120
the back of it. The blitz is gone. The anchor is gone.

01:57:11.120 --> 01:57:15.720
arguably to the best of players on the scene, as you can see, taking away at that point in the round.

01:57:15.720 --> 01:57:19.520
Now that they've dug their way back in towards site, they don't need to play aggressive on the roam anymore.

01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:21.020
They can just see this one closed out.

01:57:22.320 --> 01:57:25.720
Jigsaw's gonna try and get things moving down those main stairs.

01:57:26.320 --> 01:57:30.820
It's the next kill that's so, so important for this round, and the PENTAPRAs want any hope.

01:57:30.820 --> 01:57:36.120
It has to go their way. I think Jigsaw's position is known at this point to twist the mine too.

01:57:36.120 --> 01:57:41.120
to the start of the round. And

01:57:41.120 --> 01:57:43.120
just giving them absolutely

01:57:43.120 --> 01:57:45.120
nothing now. Playing that safe

01:57:45.120 --> 01:57:47.120
space. Nitro calls out going to

01:57:47.120 --> 01:57:49.120
be shot out of the sky. Always

01:57:49.120 --> 01:57:51.120
nice to see, but here comes

01:57:51.120 --> 01:57:53.120
the action again three first

01:57:53.120 --> 01:57:54.120
shot. He goes to another bottom

01:57:54.120 --> 01:57:55.120
step and he's going for this

01:57:55.120 --> 01:57:56.120
one. It's going to be tricks

01:57:56.120 --> 01:57:58.120
who manages to pick him up

01:57:58.120 --> 01:57:59.120
though. So it's a mind six one

01:57:59.120 --> 01:58:01.120
and enterprise seriously on

01:58:01.120 --> 01:58:03.120
the ropes right now. Just

01:58:03.120 --> 01:58:04.120
another brilliant round. You

01:58:04.120 --> 01:58:05.120
can almost look at this to

01:58:05.120 --> 01:58:20.120
very much the reverse of what we saw on cafe or as well the same. It's just different teams playing differently. It's been so solid by twisted minds. Again, the understanding of the map, the way that they've played it has been so difficult to deal with, to understand, to respond to.

01:58:50.120 --> 01:58:55.640
are headed into map 3. Like you said, Enterprise did at least buy themselves a little bit of comfort

01:58:55.640 --> 01:59:03.080
in that first map by getting the win on Cafe, but it's been a very much a tale of two maps so far.

01:59:03.080 --> 01:59:09.000
7-3 on the first, they're staring down the barrel of a 7-1 here, both teams confidently taking their

01:59:09.000 --> 01:59:15.160
own pick. As you see, it always seemed destined at the beginning of the day when we saw Fortress

01:59:15.160 --> 01:59:21.880
coming that is where this one would be decided but five rounds enterprise need

01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:27.260
back to back is it impossible absolutely not is it unlikely you'd better

01:59:27.260 --> 01:59:29.680
believe it

01:59:29.680 --> 01:59:35.880
I mean it just can't be alone

01:59:35.880 --> 01:59:37.880
they'll have to punish it at some point for sure

01:59:37.880 --> 01:59:44.020
here it's heartbreaking to go to this extended hold making good use of the fuse charges to ensure there's going on the other side of the wall

01:59:44.020 --> 01:59:49.020
They've got that line of sight through that they need, made to control the window that you just saw in your stream there for a second ago,

01:59:49.020 --> 01:59:55.020
because the window that you get inside of CC looks across the entire south balcony into Washington and bedroom.

01:59:55.020 --> 02:00:00.020
So you need to make sure you have to control this side of the map. You don't have to be inside the map, Tim, but you have to be able to see.

02:00:00.020 --> 02:00:06.020
Really quick progress here. I love this from Enterprise. Two-hands just punished P9 on this breach.

02:00:06.020 --> 02:00:09.020
P9 just getting a bit over-aggressive. If you remember, I said at the beginning,

02:00:09.020 --> 02:00:13.260
said at the beginning, to a surmise, need to be careful that they don't give too many rounds to Enterprise.

02:00:13.260 --> 02:00:17.860
But I'm thinking, yeah, we can take the risk with 6-1 up, and P9 just strolled across that breach,

02:00:17.860 --> 02:00:20.900
looking to see if he could catch somebody out, and absolutely could not.

02:00:20.900 --> 02:00:25.140
So five versus four, and Shom's still at the top of those blue stairs,

02:00:25.140 --> 02:00:28.900
so they need to make sure that there are a way, actually, you've got to keep an eye on his position, don't you?

02:00:28.900 --> 02:00:31.180
He'll come to garage, and he's going to hit them from behind if they're not careful.

02:00:31.180 --> 02:00:34.060
Yeah, more than like, but that's exactly where he's moving now.

02:00:34.060 --> 02:00:36.260
They are aware though, can they win the fight?

02:00:36.260 --> 02:00:38.360
Yes! Enterprise! Get another!

02:00:38.360 --> 02:00:41.160
Bappen! Onto her shot! 5 vs 3!

02:00:41.160 --> 02:00:43.460
This is Enterprise's rank for the taking.

02:00:43.460 --> 02:00:45.860
I'm really trying to lock in here as well, but there's still split.

02:00:45.860 --> 02:00:49.560
Step up, there's Ophir. Bappen should be able to get the pre-fire on us in here, but no!

02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:52.860
Deng's here once again, Jalad just about keeping himself up!

02:00:52.860 --> 02:00:54.860
And Suhan gets in from the breach.

02:00:54.860 --> 02:00:58.560
Tim, just like Enterprise did, they've committed super hard to the extended hold.

02:00:58.560 --> 02:00:59.660
That's now failed.

02:00:59.660 --> 02:01:04.060
And Tricks is in for a wall apart. Suhan steps around and finds the kill to close it out.

02:01:04.060 --> 02:01:09.060
that's one out of five for

02:01:09.060 --> 02:01:12.060
enterprise still a lot of work

02:01:12.060 --> 02:01:14.060
for Mike and the boys to do in

02:01:14.060 --> 02:01:15.060
the second half of this one

02:01:15.060 --> 02:01:16.060
twisted minds. The problem is

02:01:16.060 --> 02:01:18.060
you just feel like when

02:01:18.060 --> 02:01:20.060
twisted minds inevitably rotate

02:01:20.060 --> 02:01:22.060
back to church and arsenal.

02:01:22.060 --> 02:01:24.060
You've got your enterprise must

02:01:24.060 --> 02:01:25.060
have that looming in their minds.

02:01:25.060 --> 02:01:27.060
It's like, yeah, okay. We

02:01:27.060 --> 02:01:28.060
win a top floor. Maybe we win

02:01:28.060 --> 02:01:30.060
another top floor in CCT.

02:01:30.060 --> 02:01:38.760
Yeah, okay. We win a top floor. Maybe we win another top floor in CCTV and cash, but then we're gonna have to get the win on Church and Arsenal. There is no way to do it.

02:01:38.760 --> 02:01:44.360
It's a very classic round, just in my eyes. There's 2v1 that we had attended on the breach, obviously fell apart. We had a shawm trying to flank.

02:01:44.360 --> 02:01:48.260
It's all twisted mines stuff that has worked for them previously throughout this event.

02:01:48.260 --> 02:01:52.960
There's no big like, you know, look at that round and go, oh my god, it was a car crash. Just in my eyes, what the hell is going on?

02:01:52.960 --> 02:01:59.460
They're playing the same way they had. If they get those kills, they get the trade on to breach, for example, if we have a shawm, slip the net and get a kill on Zophia.

02:01:59.460 --> 02:02:03.780
We're probably now looking at a 7-1 and we're going into a break, so it's closed still.

02:02:03.780 --> 02:02:08.020
Enterprise have got to be so, so careful. Tim, look at this, might not change though.

02:02:08.020 --> 02:02:11.060
They're going big into Warden. execute, we've got the Rourer coming along,

02:02:11.060 --> 02:02:15.060
got the Faction being brought, which these days is always a sign that you want to deny a way C4s

02:02:15.060 --> 02:02:19.940
or shut down Gadgetree on the other side. Typically at Warden, the glass also being there to me,

02:02:19.940 --> 02:02:22.180
just screams that they've got something creating with best leads.

02:02:23.540 --> 02:02:27.940
Yeah, let's see which side they sharepip towards, and I would expect

02:02:27.940 --> 02:02:32.940
It's a tough point to go because you look at the class of the Thatcher, the Thermite,

02:02:32.940 --> 02:02:37.940
it kind of lends me towards your standard CCTV wall take, which is where they are now.

02:02:37.940 --> 02:02:42.940
But then I think about that rower and I think about the damage you could do if you got yourself established in construction

02:02:42.940 --> 02:02:47.940
and you rowered off the flank behind you. There's all sorts of damage that you could do.

02:02:47.940 --> 02:02:51.940
But for the time being, it is going to be towards CCTV breach.

02:02:51.940 --> 02:02:56.940
They are getting construction as well, so I think we are going to see attention from both sides.

02:02:56.940 --> 02:02:59.140
They're gonna have to make a great job, and yet though.

02:02:59.140 --> 02:03:01.540
Nah. Unless it's going to do with the IP wall first,

02:03:01.540 --> 02:03:02.940
and then never take themselves back over.

02:03:02.940 --> 02:03:05.940
The main reason being, Garth is of course sat on this wall,

02:03:05.940 --> 02:03:08.140
waiting to check it out. They need to make him move,

02:03:08.140 --> 02:03:10.140
which means getting him below or potentially saying,

02:03:10.140 --> 02:03:12.740
forget about that, we're gonna hit instead from the construction side.

02:03:12.740 --> 02:03:14.340
But I don't think you really do that,

02:03:14.340 --> 02:03:16.340
bringing along the line that they've got here.

02:03:16.340 --> 02:03:18.340
The Valor especially, they're not looking at, just thinking,

02:03:18.340 --> 02:03:20.140
okay, what are we closing off?

02:03:20.140 --> 02:03:21.940
Of course, it happens very quick now.

02:03:21.940 --> 02:03:24.740
All those charges, all of them available at the very start of the round.

02:03:24.740 --> 02:03:26.740
And they've also found a shum ratting away.

02:03:26.740 --> 02:03:32.640
What a surprise that's it the problem that they've got for dealing with guards for the bandit trick is they've nothing to really deal with it

02:03:32.720 --> 02:03:35.480
You know, you maybe want the capitae that's been banned away

02:03:35.480 --> 02:03:39.960
You'd want some nades throw one of them in from CCTV window. They don't have any

02:03:40.120 --> 02:03:45.760
You know to get underneath you'd maybe want a book or an ash or something to open up that floor beneath it

02:03:45.760 --> 02:03:48.840
You'd have to rely on the DMR at this point to do it

02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:56.160
So I think guards his position is safe and I think Enterprise are going to have to push from construction side because of that lack of utility

02:03:56.160 --> 02:03:58.600
And as they do, they start to lose bodies.

02:03:58.600 --> 02:04:00.000
Baphin's gonna be taken out.

02:04:00.000 --> 02:04:02.200
That's the Rourer of Gond, five versus four.

02:04:03.480 --> 02:04:05.040
I was gonna say, Baphin really needs to survive.

02:04:05.040 --> 02:04:06.520
He survived the first attempt on his life,

02:04:06.520 --> 02:04:08.800
but not the second that Rourer would have been big for them.

02:04:08.800 --> 02:04:12.400
That's now Gond 2, so we see all these tools slowly whittling away.

02:04:12.920 --> 02:04:14.360
Still the smoke's available.

02:04:14.360 --> 02:04:16.400
Six, unsigned, jigsaw.

02:04:16.960 --> 02:04:19.760
Now one can do a lot of damage from construction,

02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:22.200
but they've got a first choose with the remaining utility

02:04:22.200 --> 02:04:23.400
on the side of Twisted Minds.

02:04:23.400 --> 02:04:24.760
One more smoke they've left.

02:04:24.760 --> 02:04:26.000
That comes out from Jalads.

02:04:26.000 --> 02:04:28.000
So now we can see where he's got his mines.

02:04:28.000 --> 02:04:30.000
P9 is the big problem from here.

02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:34.000
He's got Catwalk still, so as soon as they try to push in through this window,

02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:38.000
P9 is going to be in position to deal with 2 on inside a site,

02:04:38.000 --> 02:04:41.000
but Enterprise are actually getting aggressive really well, but there he is.

02:04:41.000 --> 02:04:44.000
I said that P9 was the problem and he delivers.

02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:48.000
2 vs 1 now. Jigsaw fighting back, he's on the secondary.

02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:50.000
He's got them on both sides of him.

02:04:50.000 --> 02:04:54.000
The most clutch side that we've had here in Salt Lake, they're going to have to bind 1 now.

02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:56.540
It's a bit much in the tall order I think Tim.

02:04:56.540 --> 02:05:01.000
They've played out these plantations so well, so fast with the mines, both doubled up inside

02:05:01.000 --> 02:05:03.800
a red, expecting a trade attempt to come on through.

02:05:03.800 --> 02:05:07.320
Jigsaw stepping out ready with the secondary, doesn't know the player's laid out towards

02:05:07.320 --> 02:05:08.320
his right hand side.

02:05:08.320 --> 02:05:11.360
Now he's got the idea, but I think he's going to be out of time Tim, they're swinging towards

02:05:11.360 --> 02:05:15.560
him, P9 full of confidence, nearly getting away with it, but not quite, and now Tricks

02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:17.060
disappears into the map.

02:05:17.060 --> 02:05:20.040
I'll bring it around below, this will be enough for him to step up here.

02:05:20.040 --> 02:05:22.040
Jigsaw might have enough time, but no!

02:05:22.040 --> 02:05:23.040
Yes!

02:05:23.040 --> 02:05:24.760
Looks for it, but no!

02:05:24.760 --> 02:05:29.760
Tricks it's what he needs, that's gonna be a 7-1 dominant bit for you to twist in mines.

02:05:29.760 --> 02:05:34.000
So close to Jigsaw at the end, but not close on the map.

02:05:34.000 --> 02:05:38.160
Twisted mines as you see, utterly dominant on purpose,

02:05:38.160 --> 02:05:40.760
giving enterprise absolutely nothing.

02:05:40.760 --> 02:05:47.080
Closing it out and that senses to forthrest as this is gonna come down to a designer on that final map.

02:05:47.080 --> 02:05:49.840
I can't tell you which way it's gonna go, but I know some guys who can.

02:05:49.840 --> 02:05:51.120
We'll speak to them just after.

02:05:51.120 --> 02:05:52.120
The short way.

02:12:21.120 --> 02:12:42.580
Mag, a very different look from map 1 to map 2.

02:12:42.580 --> 02:12:44.640
What went wrong there in that one?

02:12:44.640 --> 02:12:50.160
I honestly think we just didn't communicate properly on the defensive where we were holding.

02:12:50.160 --> 02:12:52.320
obviously is a very good map, Fortress of Mines.

02:12:52.320 --> 02:12:53.840
So we've already forgotten about that map

02:12:53.840 --> 02:12:54.880
and we're ready for Fortress.

02:12:54.880 --> 02:12:56.920
Jalad, you were floating out there,

02:12:56.920 --> 02:12:58.960
clutches around one, four, and five,

02:12:58.960 --> 02:13:00.360
multi-kills across the board.

02:13:00.360 --> 02:13:03.600
Did it feel for you as good as it looked for us?

02:13:03.600 --> 02:13:05.560
I mean, it felt really good, yeah.

02:13:05.560 --> 02:13:06.760
The main reason I played so good,

02:13:06.760 --> 02:13:09.520
like the first map, we were playing very bad.

02:13:09.520 --> 02:13:11.040
We were not playing our game,

02:13:11.040 --> 02:13:13.560
depending on them to do mistakes.

02:13:13.560 --> 02:13:15.560
We talked about, like, after the first map

02:13:15.560 --> 02:13:19.000
and after, like, knowing what to do,

02:13:19.000 --> 02:13:27.160
Thanks a lot. You can ask for a better start to a playoffs weekend here in Salt Lake City.

02:13:27.160 --> 02:13:32.600
We're going all the way in this fair series. Map 3 coming up, of course, Enterprise versus

02:13:32.600 --> 02:13:38.600
Twisted Minds. It's Ian and Fox and Lax as we get stuck into the analysis of Map 2 there.

02:13:38.600 --> 02:13:42.360
Any surprises? I don't think you're too surprised with that performance from Twisted Minds.

02:13:42.360 --> 02:13:47.480
Not really. I mean, Mag respected the fact that Clubhouse is a great map for Twisted

02:13:47.480 --> 02:13:51.580
And especially since when you look inside of enterprise they haven't won that map in six months

02:13:51.580 --> 02:13:53.040
They're her own three in it

02:13:53.040 --> 02:13:59.000
They lost the G2 in the same tournament that twisted mind to be G2 7 2 wanted so it was a given that twisted minds

02:13:59.000 --> 02:14:03.460
We're gonna have the upper edge but the way that they were so explosive on their attacks that info gathering

02:14:03.460 --> 02:14:07.460
They get it up they set it up and then they hit the site explosive from all angles

02:14:07.460 --> 02:14:10.280
Yeah, I think also just even here in the size and J. Lad just there in the interview

02:14:10.280 --> 02:14:12.440
He said you know the first map they weren't playing like themselves

02:14:12.440 --> 02:14:18.940
But going into this clubhouse, he was able to play like himself, feel it, and you could clearly see in the display and what he was showing on.

02:14:18.940 --> 02:14:22.440
He was able to get tons of multi-frags throughout this entire series.

02:14:22.440 --> 02:14:24.440
And that's exactly what you want to see from your ITL.

02:14:24.440 --> 02:14:31.440
Not only being able to facilitate a round, but also being able to get tons of frags on top of it, where that just ramps up everybody's performance.

02:14:31.440 --> 02:14:36.440
And I mean, this big, what, flank we want to call it here to be able to get this kill? I mean, it was beautiful.

02:14:36.440 --> 02:14:42.440
I mean just to be able to hit the backside here, I mean all the pressure coming from the CCTV side.

02:14:42.440 --> 02:14:46.440
I mean them being able to consistently keep Enterprise on their toes.

02:14:46.440 --> 02:14:49.440
You have no real understanding of where Twisted Mind is going to come from.

02:14:49.440 --> 02:14:53.440
He bates it like he's going to be going downstairs, climbs back up the ladder.

02:14:53.440 --> 02:14:57.440
I mean they had no idea that he was coming back through here.

02:14:57.440 --> 02:15:00.440
They thought it was clear as day, very good heads-up play.

02:15:00.440 --> 02:15:02.440
And I think we heard it from him in the interview.

02:15:02.440 --> 02:15:06.940
He understood exactly how Enterprise was playing, where he needs to go, how he needs to be able to position himself.

02:15:07.440 --> 02:15:08.940
Everything was lights out from there.

02:15:08.940 --> 02:15:13.940
And something I really just want to highlight, you know, we quickly glanced over talking about guards and P9 needing to be that spearhead.

02:15:13.940 --> 02:15:18.440
I mean, why not just have your IGL take that spearhead and take the reins there going 14 and 4.

02:15:18.440 --> 02:15:23.940
But I do want to highlight guards, especially early on in those attacking rounds, using that shield, using that montane to really be oppressive,

02:15:23.940 --> 02:15:28.940
taking a lot of the control and then letting the team be able to facilitate the rest of the round, gain that control,

02:15:28.940 --> 02:15:30.800
control and then move into those late round executes.

02:15:30.800 --> 02:15:33.520
And again, Jay Lad just playing extremely well.

02:15:33.520 --> 02:15:36.160
Doing exactly what we've highlighted has shown, being a rat

02:15:36.160 --> 02:15:38.960
and coming out of nowhere and catching EP off guard.

02:15:38.960 --> 02:15:40.280
The DeSada is a showdown.

02:15:40.280 --> 02:15:41.800
It is a shootout on Faltress.

02:15:41.800 --> 02:15:43.080
Who's got the upper hand?

02:15:43.080 --> 02:15:43.960
I think Enterprise.

02:15:43.960 --> 02:15:46.360
And we said they just needed one just to go to map three.

02:15:46.360 --> 02:15:47.680
And they'll be in the driver's seat.

02:15:47.680 --> 02:15:49.080
I think Enterprise has it.

02:15:49.080 --> 02:15:50.480
I'm going to go with Enterprise as well.

02:15:50.480 --> 02:15:51.760
I know that's a tough switch when you just

02:15:51.760 --> 02:15:53.200
watch how they play it on Clubhouse.

02:15:53.200 --> 02:15:55.600
But you learn a lot, especially when you lose that way.

02:15:55.600 --> 02:15:57.800
And if communication, which has really been the problem

02:15:57.800 --> 02:15:58.920
for them going into that map, I

02:15:58.920 --> 02:16:00.880
I have no doubt they fix it going into Fortress.

02:16:00.880 --> 02:16:03.960
You know what? I just want to give a shout out to the Rainbow Six fam that have arrived

02:16:03.960 --> 02:16:05.480
nice and early here in Salt Lake.

02:16:05.480 --> 02:16:07.560
I want to ask you guys a quick question.

02:16:07.560 --> 02:16:10.320
Who's taking the final map?

02:16:10.320 --> 02:16:12.520
Is it going to be Twisted Minds?

02:16:12.520 --> 02:16:17.320
Or is it going to be Enterprise?

02:16:17.320 --> 02:16:20.920
Yeah, favoritism here in Salt Lake City.

02:16:20.920 --> 02:16:22.720
Let's get into this final map.

02:16:52.720 --> 02:16:54.720
to be able to take the

02:16:54.820 --> 02:16:56.720
game back. It's interesting.

02:16:56.820 --> 02:16:58.720
A lot of support for

02:16:58.820 --> 02:17:00.720
enterprise here. It's only

02:17:00.820 --> 02:17:02.720
exciting, but the socials

02:17:02.820 --> 02:17:04.720
definitely siding with

02:17:04.820 --> 02:17:06.720
twisted minds. So even in

02:17:06.820 --> 02:17:08.720
that, we find ourselves

02:17:08.820 --> 02:17:10.720
split. One one. If you are

02:17:10.820 --> 02:17:12.720
just joining us, Enterprise

02:17:12.820 --> 02:17:14.720
were able to take cafe 73

02:17:14.820 --> 02:17:16.720
twisted minds took clubhouse

02:17:16.820 --> 02:17:18.720
72 and we go to fortress for

02:17:18.820 --> 02:17:20.720
the decider, of course, as a

02:17:20.720 --> 02:17:28.600
to be the first men a team to reach the semifinal of a major. Many of these players have been

02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:33.440
in this position before, but have never surpassed the top eight. So it would be a huge step forward

02:17:33.440 --> 02:17:38.440
both for them and the region, but also the same can be said on the opposite side of the

02:17:38.440 --> 02:17:46.280
stage. OCE, an opportunity for a first semifinal at a major. Meagher's been there at a side

02:17:46.280 --> 02:17:53.260
before but not in the majors so a lot rested on this one and we go into

02:17:53.260 --> 02:17:58.180
fortress with the mines will start off on the defense and it will be commander

02:17:58.180 --> 02:18:02.260
back to kick us off location of a bomb managed to win four of their defenses

02:18:02.260 --> 02:18:07.460
against furia and again just a few days ago furia as we all know very rough

02:18:07.460 --> 02:18:11.260
tournament zero and three in swiss and sent out one of our first teams to leave

02:18:11.260 --> 02:18:14.580
I didn't manage to win that a single defense but just in mines took three

02:18:14.580 --> 02:18:19.380
attacks in the second half so just like we saw back on club very unlikely to be

02:18:19.380 --> 02:18:22.680
slouches when it comes to attacking on fortress so it's pretty physical for

02:18:22.680 --> 02:18:27.020
Enterprise to get themselves moving early on in their own game on this map

02:18:27.020 --> 02:18:31.500
they won four attacks Tim so they're gonna feel very very confident about this

02:18:31.500 --> 02:18:35.140
we mentioned about the potential state ban coming on through

02:18:35.140 --> 02:18:37.660
we've had both teams also see Dokkaebe banned away against him by snake

02:18:37.660 --> 02:18:43.380
sometimes they left up. If two are coming in to change the ball it just feels like some teams lean towards banning Dokkaebe more than they would towards a snake

02:18:43.380 --> 02:18:48.380
And the 80mm also available, they're going towards that classic combo that they must end up with being together.

02:18:53.380 --> 02:18:56.380
We're having an awkward which side this push is starting to shake up from.

02:18:56.380 --> 02:19:00.380
And at the minute it's more towards the Eagle Stairs side.

02:19:00.380 --> 02:19:04.380
We don't have too much pressure yet over our whole tower, games and dorms.

02:19:04.380 --> 02:19:06.380
It is all over the other way.

02:19:06.380 --> 02:19:08.380
Do you have luck enough to take any damage there?

02:19:08.380 --> 02:19:10.380
He's going to continue holding on.

02:19:10.380 --> 02:19:15.660
to be in this position to support his teammate Trix, who is the one tap we're holding on to those

02:19:15.660 --> 02:19:20.940
white stairs. Two hand, a little bit of damage done. He's going to just dip away from that fight

02:19:20.940 --> 02:19:26.860
for the time being back onto the drones. Jigsaw taken down by Hashom and this is the problem.

02:19:26.860 --> 02:19:32.700
Enterprise have not pushed into game and dorms yet. Hashom is just being left to roam freely

02:19:32.700 --> 02:19:38.060
over that side and he hurts them with a big entry for Twisted Minds. This is where Enterprise

02:19:38.060 --> 02:19:41.660
probably need to take the advice that you had twisted mind receiving back on map one.

02:19:41.660 --> 02:19:45.260
Focus on controlling serve the parts of the map. Don't try to perfect.

02:19:45.260 --> 02:19:47.260
They've got one player to try to focus on a shamp,

02:19:47.260 --> 02:19:50.780
one that was challenging on towards your lad, two more outside towards horse.

02:19:50.780 --> 02:19:54.300
It has been a bit too much of a spread for me in terms of what they're trying to do.

02:19:54.300 --> 02:19:57.260
I'd like to see them tighten it up a little bit, work more together

02:19:57.260 --> 02:19:59.580
to punish players like a shamo out on the roam alone.

02:20:02.140 --> 02:20:06.860
Trying to think, see if there's any opportunities present themselves, but...

02:20:06.860 --> 02:20:11.660
the top of the map. So they've

02:20:11.660 --> 02:20:12.860
still got the to brown to deal

02:20:12.860 --> 02:20:14.860
with if you want to push from

02:20:14.860 --> 02:20:16.860
that top side from Eagles

02:20:16.860 --> 02:20:18.860
stairs, which is where we can

02:20:18.860 --> 02:20:19.860
see that they are currently

02:20:19.860 --> 02:20:21.860
shaping up towards at the

02:20:21.860 --> 02:20:23.860
minute. God's has been forced

02:20:23.860 --> 02:20:25.860
back into the bedroom, so there

02:20:25.860 --> 02:20:26.860
is at least a little bit of

02:20:26.860 --> 02:20:28.860
space here for enterprise to

02:20:28.860 --> 02:20:30.860
start taking, but that clock

02:20:30.860 --> 02:20:32.860
just keeps ticking. It's

02:20:32.860 --> 02:20:37.860
to start taking, but that clock, it just keeps ticking down, does.

02:20:37.860 --> 02:20:39.860
Got some tools that we should do if he hits this shot.

02:20:39.860 --> 02:20:41.860
This is going to be absolutely magical.

02:20:41.860 --> 02:20:44.860
It's a thorn that's going to tag down, though, not P9 in this case.

02:20:44.860 --> 02:20:46.860
Got another phone call they can use, sure enough.

02:20:46.860 --> 02:20:49.860
That'll come off now with P9. His patience is rewarded.

02:20:49.860 --> 02:20:51.860
Gets his first kill on the map.

02:20:51.860 --> 02:20:53.860
Of course, off the round. Still in a two versus three, though.

02:20:53.860 --> 02:20:55.860
Enterprise. They have a chance here, Tim,

02:20:55.860 --> 02:20:57.860
but it's getting slimmer by the seconds.

02:20:57.860 --> 02:20:59.860
Yeah, I really like this run to a surprise.

02:20:59.860 --> 02:21:01.860
They are playing so patiently.

02:21:01.860 --> 02:21:03.860
Yes, they've had their little peaks

02:21:03.860 --> 02:21:05.860
and they've had their little challenges,

02:21:05.860 --> 02:21:07.860
but they haven't overcommitted to anything.

02:21:07.860 --> 02:21:09.860
Sean managed to make it three in the round

02:21:09.860 --> 02:21:11.860
and twisted mines theirs.

02:21:11.860 --> 02:21:13.860
They looked so settled through that.

02:21:13.860 --> 02:21:15.860
Whilst they were being given games and dorms,

02:21:15.860 --> 02:21:17.860
they used it. They got a kill from there.

02:21:17.860 --> 02:21:19.860
When the challenge started coming from

02:21:19.860 --> 02:21:21.860
sort of up towards the eagle,

02:21:21.860 --> 02:21:23.860
they were there. They were ready for the fight.

02:21:23.860 --> 02:21:25.860
They adjusted, they maneuvered,

02:21:25.860 --> 02:21:27.860
but they didn't overexpose themselves.

02:21:27.860 --> 02:21:32.340
themselves really solid stuff from Twisted Bands.

02:21:32.340 --> 02:21:33.820
Looker, I'm out to about halfway through.

02:21:33.820 --> 02:21:36.180
That felt like a very disparate round for Enterprise.

02:21:36.180 --> 02:21:37.860
They weren't really on the same page.

02:21:37.860 --> 02:21:40.260
You're all trying to do their own things at their own times.

02:21:40.260 --> 02:21:42.180
You saw two hands being held back by Jalab.

02:21:42.180 --> 02:21:43.620
We had a shum, getting a freebie.

02:21:43.620 --> 02:21:45.820
Like I'm sure you'll see things on the replay,

02:21:45.820 --> 02:21:48.020
but P9 also not being skipped out.

02:21:48.020 --> 02:21:49.500
Very well managed by Twisted Mines,

02:21:49.500 --> 02:21:51.300
but I'm really worried for Enterprise here.

02:21:51.300 --> 02:21:53.140
If these rounds keep on going this way,

02:21:53.140 --> 02:21:54.060
it is only round one.

02:21:54.060 --> 02:21:56.460
We'll give them a couple more to get a sniff of how things are going,

02:21:56.460 --> 02:21:57.740
but it has to be better here.

02:21:57.740 --> 02:22:08.740
Yeah, just largely in effect, you know, if you look back at that first round and say to me, where on the map did Enterprise have control?

02:22:08.740 --> 02:22:14.740
They never had control, realistically, you know, yeah, they managed to get Eagle Corridor, you know, that was about it.

02:22:14.740 --> 02:22:23.740
Exactly, it was such a small portion of the map, they never really had any control anywhere, so that for me is going to be a big marker here of can they improve, you know.

02:22:23.740 --> 02:22:30.340
You know what, come the end of the round, what do they have control of, what areas are the users, where are they challenging from?

02:22:32.140 --> 02:22:35.540
We're just playing this merry dance around the courtyard, if we see Enterprise pushing in from that spot.

02:22:35.540 --> 02:22:38.940
We've seen players drop into there on the attacking side and look to control that corridor,

02:22:38.940 --> 02:22:42.540
but you're always them fearful, ebbed and eager to breathe through the corridor window.

02:22:42.540 --> 02:22:46.540
Someone with a pen to inside can step across and get to the freebie, and given what the site is,

02:22:46.540 --> 02:22:50.540
that is part of the map, where no doubt's missed a mind, they'll be holding at least in the early part.

02:22:50.540 --> 02:22:56.540
I've been trying to extend up towards that command side of the map, put some pressure there, waste a bunch of time.

02:22:56.540 --> 02:23:04.540
This is where it inspires you to be smart. You either choose to break open that hold as a team, or you just don't bother them in the first place and you try and go more direct towards them.

02:23:04.540 --> 02:23:09.540
Yeah, Brenda are working to soften up that courtyard side, removing a little bit of utility. Comes as well.

02:23:09.540 --> 02:23:15.540
It's just going to be giving up and a feedback that they have got that old tower hold its tricks on the WMA

02:23:15.540 --> 02:23:18.540
As they go to drop in here they could find themselves in trouble

02:23:18.540 --> 02:23:22.540
We do see utility flying in as the Magnet was deploying

02:23:22.540 --> 02:23:27.540
But tricks is still in a very very difficult position to move in from

02:23:27.540 --> 02:23:32.540
And he does have a little bit of support from Hasham who's hidden away underneath this window

02:23:32.540 --> 02:23:36.540
They know that he's there as he took a couple of shots in front of Bane to stand up there as the heartbridge goes up

02:23:36.540 --> 02:23:39.180
and they'll get the shot as well and not get taken out. Surely!

02:23:39.180 --> 02:23:40.980
They get a freebie. Yes, they do.

02:23:40.980 --> 02:23:42.780
Too hard. Mind if you're punishing him, but...

02:23:42.780 --> 02:23:45.260
They've done you a lot of their sense to do it.

02:23:45.260 --> 02:23:47.900
They needed that kill on the Tricks because the diffuser...

02:23:47.900 --> 02:23:49.980
After Tricks got the kill on the old tower drop,

02:23:49.980 --> 02:23:51.580
it was Cairo that he took out.

02:23:51.580 --> 02:23:54.220
The diffuser went down cold and old tower.

02:23:54.220 --> 02:23:56.660
Jilad with a brilliant trade for his team,

02:23:56.660 --> 02:23:58.780
though leaves them now. Three versus three.

02:23:58.780 --> 02:24:02.260
Jigsaw is battling, trying to get this diffuser back in hand,

02:24:02.260 --> 02:24:04.140
but they're not going to give it up easily.

02:24:04.140 --> 02:24:05.940
Constantly challenging it, Jilad.

02:24:05.940 --> 02:24:13.940
Holding that angle, two-hunt, fans P9 elsewhere, three versus two, one minute 15, this is a real opportunity for Enterprise now.

02:24:13.940 --> 02:24:19.940
They've just got to manage it carefully, like you say, tons of time to work with, not a lot of utility, but you've got three guns available here.

02:24:19.940 --> 02:24:22.940
Don't feel the need to rush, you've got an opportunity to use them.

02:24:22.940 --> 02:24:28.940
July the next one that surely needs to fall is Garth, he's still getting a little bit deeper, he had a wonderful round back on Cafe with the Arunis.

02:24:28.940 --> 02:24:33.940
He needs to be dealt with too, but I think first you try and worry about this element, try and hit you at every possible turn.

02:24:33.940 --> 02:24:38.940
Yeah, just trying to keep them guessing here, but you can't really do that for the rest of the round.

02:24:38.940 --> 02:24:40.940
You're going to have to get kills at some point in Shulad.

02:24:40.940 --> 02:24:44.940
He manages to do it aware that he might be challenged from that rear side.

02:24:44.940 --> 02:24:47.940
Tuhan holding the long angle through side, but he continues.

02:24:47.940 --> 02:24:51.940
They've not been able to do anything about Shulad this round.

02:24:51.940 --> 02:24:54.940
That's three for him, and he could well make it four.

02:24:54.940 --> 02:24:58.940
Tuhan has to push in here, has to just try and get something going.

02:24:58.940 --> 02:25:02.940
25 seconds, sees his bar cut down by guards and the DMR,

02:25:02.940 --> 02:25:08.940
and that is 2-0, Twisted Minds, Enterprise, starting to fall behind.

02:25:08.940 --> 02:25:12.940
They are a little bit here. I wouldn't be shocked if we see an early tap timeout at some point coming in from that,

02:25:12.940 --> 02:25:16.940
because those two rounds, the first one was rough, the second one was better,

02:25:16.940 --> 02:25:18.940
but still lacked that coordination to see it over the line.

02:25:18.940 --> 02:25:21.940
Granted, Twisted Minds, you know how they're going to play. They're going to be aggressive.

02:25:21.940 --> 02:25:24.940
They're going to fight you for every possible inch of the map.

02:25:24.940 --> 02:25:28.940
From start through to finish, even in a man disadvantage, that's exactly what they did.

02:25:28.940 --> 02:25:32.460
What they did in Enterprise just could not deal with the pressure.

02:25:33.180 --> 02:25:35.980
Could be a third round in a row here, but twisted minds on the defensive.

02:25:35.980 --> 02:25:38.540
We head downstairs, intubatingly cap it in.

02:25:38.540 --> 02:25:41.260
My concern for Enterprise here, if you remember on the way in,

02:25:41.260 --> 02:25:44.060
there's a sporking about this against Vulcans as well.

02:25:44.060 --> 02:25:47.260
They seem to me to play best when they are having fun,

02:25:47.260 --> 02:25:49.500
when the banter is there, when, you know, everything.

02:25:50.380 --> 02:25:52.860
Now the pressure's on, it's that moment again,

02:25:52.860 --> 02:25:54.700
where they're getting put back in their box,

02:25:54.700 --> 02:25:56.780
and they've got to find a way to get out of it.

02:25:56.780 --> 02:26:02.420
And right now it's P9 sending it all one way and the shot every chance he gets would normally before even though

02:26:02.420 --> 02:26:04.620
We're down zero and four on top. They were still giving it back

02:26:05.180 --> 02:26:08.980
But as we said going into the series when they get a bit too serious when the phone stops

02:26:09.340 --> 02:26:15.920
They stop playing yeah, and that's where I'm surprised to wake up now more of the same for just the minds again

02:26:15.920 --> 02:26:19.460
Barry's are seeing this line of this what they've run for the fast majority of the tournament the form

02:26:19.460 --> 02:26:24.620
It's always on the alert all about that truck based place trying to control large parts of the map and cover the gaps

02:26:24.620 --> 02:26:27.780
that might exist in such a spread out Rome coming in from the team.

02:26:27.780 --> 02:26:29.580
Enterprise need to punish that.

02:26:29.580 --> 02:26:31.980
And Darius Aitin, I keep on looking at him and thinking,

02:26:31.980 --> 02:26:33.500
we know that the Solid Snake's an option,

02:26:33.500 --> 02:26:34.660
we know you played it before,

02:26:34.660 --> 02:26:36.780
we know it's your favourite operator at this tournament.

02:26:36.780 --> 02:26:39.060
We could be making use of that for these little pinch scenarios

02:26:39.060 --> 02:26:41.260
where they keep facing up against two or three players

02:26:41.260 --> 02:26:42.460
who decide to just divide,

02:26:42.460 --> 02:26:44.900
but don't have full knowledge on where they are.

02:26:44.900 --> 02:26:47.060
Two-hand just misses his opportunity there

02:26:47.060 --> 02:26:49.860
as one freezes past the window, car finds his man,

02:26:49.860 --> 02:26:52.500
and that kind of feels like it sums up those first couple

02:26:52.500 --> 02:26:58.020
arounds for Enterprise just missing those opportunities and then the money's further down the line.

02:26:58.020 --> 02:27:02.020
Here comes the shield pushing on trying to get aggressive, trying to find some space.

02:27:02.020 --> 02:27:07.460
He's not going to work. P9 stands tall, binds himself a double. They know there's more to be

02:27:07.460 --> 02:27:13.140
hard but he can't find it. And Turan, he fights back. Enterprise managed to keep themselves

02:27:13.140 --> 02:27:18.660
in the rank and they find any more on the door. Yes they can. Turan brings it back to a three versus

02:27:18.660 --> 02:27:19.660
3!

02:27:19.660 --> 02:27:22.960
Got a big time here again between coming up through and he gets the down on such a line.

02:27:22.960 --> 02:27:25.860
This was quite finishing off but Bappen's there to get the close.

02:27:25.860 --> 02:27:29.660
A 3v2 Tim, we've been here before but not a 3v1.

02:27:29.660 --> 02:27:31.260
And Sean, with it all to do.

02:27:31.260 --> 02:27:33.260
Enterprise desperately need this round.

02:27:33.260 --> 02:27:35.560
They tried to throw that fast attack in.

02:27:35.560 --> 02:27:40.560
It looked like P9 had broken them but no, they have started to dig deep and show us

02:27:40.560 --> 02:27:42.560
that resilience that we know that they've got.

02:27:42.560 --> 02:27:43.560
And I like this.

02:27:43.560 --> 02:27:44.560
They're not rushing.

02:27:44.560 --> 02:27:45.560
They're not chasing the kill.

02:27:45.560 --> 02:27:46.760
They're not keeping anything away.

02:27:46.760 --> 02:27:47.760
They're back on the drones.

02:27:47.760 --> 02:27:51.200
We've got the diffuser near side. Incomes the door could be called.

02:27:51.200 --> 02:27:53.480
They can think about where this punk goes down.

02:27:53.480 --> 02:27:55.400
There is no rushing them right now.

02:27:55.400 --> 02:27:58.120
They know they need to make sure of that round.

02:27:58.120 --> 02:28:01.160
Baphen gets it done, and that is going to be enterprise,

02:28:01.160 --> 02:28:03.560
getting themselves their first round on the board.

02:28:03.560 --> 02:28:06.880
We might just have a match here on Fortress.

02:28:06.880 --> 02:28:08.360
I would say in convincing fashion,

02:28:08.360 --> 02:28:11.320
but it was a big recovery effort from Tuhan.

02:28:11.320 --> 02:28:14.200
Prior to that, four, it was messy.

02:28:14.200 --> 02:28:17.320
Two players, one of them being a shield, dying out to a UMP.

02:28:17.320 --> 02:28:21.040
I made it look easy, but this is what I spoke about with the trap based setup

02:28:21.040 --> 02:28:24.980
We've currently got in the meta that might be a charges in immediately into an elegant cost

02:28:24.980 --> 02:28:26.980
It's got no chance of winning out a gunfight then

02:28:27.240 --> 02:28:33.640
So you can deal with fast aggressive play for playing off the back of that utility and surprise interestingly going towards the

02:28:33.640 --> 02:28:35.080
Boyo to see that taken away

02:28:35.080 --> 02:28:38.220
It was only played back in the first round and the other side the day moss

02:28:38.340 --> 02:28:40.720
I'm not too surprised given we saw it in the first two

02:28:40.720 --> 02:28:50.880
What a nerve, up on that stage at the minute, I think on both sides of things. Twisted minds,

02:28:50.880 --> 02:28:56.480
they will love the start that they had to this, but I think losing that round from 5 vs 3,

02:28:56.480 --> 02:28:59.720
that's going to hurt them a little bit and it might just make them realise that this

02:28:59.720 --> 02:29:05.040
is more of a match-up than maybe they thought to begin with. So we will go into their next

02:29:05.040 --> 02:29:12.040
defensive segment. Half,

02:29:12.040 --> 02:29:14.040
whatever you want to call it.

02:29:14.040 --> 02:29:16.040
Water. I like water. It's half

02:29:16.040 --> 02:29:17.040
of the defense, but a quarter

02:29:17.040 --> 02:29:18.040
of the game, but we'll go into

02:29:18.040 --> 02:29:20.040
the second rotation anyway. It's

02:29:20.040 --> 02:29:22.040
going to be back to command and

02:29:22.040 --> 02:29:23.040
bathroom that they will go

02:29:23.040 --> 02:29:24.040
enterprise. We've got to see

02:29:24.040 --> 02:29:26.040
them get some map control here.

02:29:26.040 --> 02:29:27.040
I already commented on it. Round

02:29:27.040 --> 02:29:29.040
one was the really stark example

02:29:29.040 --> 02:29:31.040
of that where they just didn't

02:29:31.040 --> 02:29:33.040
control of anything. They didn't

02:29:33.040 --> 02:29:34.040
have games. They didn't have

02:29:34.040 --> 02:29:38.660
on site literally all they got was up near Eagle and a little bit of bedroom

02:29:38.660 --> 02:29:43.000
towards the end it just wasn't enough enterprise I want to see them sweep

02:29:43.000 --> 02:29:46.720
across four stores players out of that south side get rid of them out of the

02:29:46.720 --> 02:29:52.040
Ones and Games and four supposed to buy a practice site take that map from them

02:29:52.040 --> 02:29:55.280
I'll give that to the sudden that previous maps in when you see a thing's

02:29:55.280 --> 02:29:59.200
a factor coming along with the glass and the capital it screams you've got a game

02:29:59.200 --> 02:30:02.560
by an ex-cheese in mind, and I can only imagine

02:30:02.560 --> 02:30:05.200
Brenda's target is going to be trinkst on about Warden.

02:30:05.200 --> 02:30:07.200
Throughout this week, we've seen really good adaptation

02:30:07.200 --> 02:30:09.840
to that shot, teams rather than saying OK, well,

02:30:09.840 --> 02:30:11.760
they can zap out of our C4s.

02:30:11.760 --> 02:30:13.440
They say they can zap out of our C4s,

02:30:13.440 --> 02:30:15.200
then we've got a contest with the Warden, with a solo.

02:30:15.200 --> 02:30:17.200
This is a million more things you have to worry about.

02:30:17.200 --> 02:30:20.800
Jigsaw and Cairo are already dropping old tower

02:30:20.800 --> 02:30:23.280
and working their way into games and dorms,

02:30:23.280 --> 02:30:24.800
using the shield to do so.

02:30:24.800 --> 02:30:27.200
They've got the airjabs to prevent any flank coming up

02:30:27.200 --> 02:30:31.200
I love this from Enterprise. This is what we wanted to see.

02:30:31.200 --> 02:30:37.200
Go in there, get the wall open by two hands, so they can't play inside of lockers and dooms.

02:30:37.200 --> 02:30:42.200
Just make it difficult for them. They've got that area of the map, but now they need to use it.

02:30:42.200 --> 02:30:46.200
Very critically, they're playing as a team too much. I know it sounds like a really simple thing to say,

02:30:46.200 --> 02:30:50.200
but again, backing out one of them is so strong. They're trying to do two or three things at once.

02:30:50.200 --> 02:30:53.200
Here, they're very focused on getting brief and control as a group.

02:30:53.200 --> 02:30:56.640
a group. Yes, they've lost the shield. That is not ideal. And they've crushed Jigsaw.

02:30:57.280 --> 02:31:00.880
Oh, it's a bit of a car crash, Tim. Asha, I'm going to be causing bother now around breathing.

02:31:00.880 --> 02:31:05.680
It often is the death center in the middle of this map on the top floor. Fighting for control over

02:31:05.680 --> 02:31:11.200
it can be a real war. So far as one, the Twisted Mines are winning. Five versus three.

02:31:11.760 --> 02:31:15.120
Thankfully, still have their crucial operators on side, but I think without the shield, this could

02:31:15.120 --> 02:31:20.000
be a bit of a challenge. Yeah, Twisted Mines have controlled this round beautifully. It's like,

02:31:20.000 --> 02:31:23.560
like they really didn't try to hold on to dorms and games too much.

02:31:23.560 --> 02:31:25.240
I like that Enterprise went in and said,

02:31:25.240 --> 02:31:26.960
if you're offering it, we'll take it.

02:31:26.960 --> 02:31:29.400
But it was always part of the plan for Twisted Bands.

02:31:29.400 --> 02:31:31.800
They've dropped back, they've fought from behind that line

02:31:31.800 --> 02:31:32.800
and they have punished them.

02:31:32.800 --> 02:31:35.960
It's like they've let Enterprise into a kill box

02:31:35.960 --> 02:31:37.520
and then they've sprung their trap.

02:31:37.520 --> 02:31:38.560
Great stuff from them.

02:31:38.560 --> 02:31:40.400
They've now fallen back as well.

02:31:40.400 --> 02:31:41.320
They've not pushed it.

02:31:41.320 --> 02:31:43.840
As you can see, super, super compact.

02:31:43.840 --> 02:31:45.920
Not wanting to push forward and give them anything.

02:31:45.920 --> 02:31:48.840
They've got tricks aware of, you know, an adaptation,

02:31:48.840 --> 02:31:55.600
A rotation to try and push your people instead, just really, really tight defensive siege coming out at this amount.

02:31:55.600 --> 02:31:59.720
Got tricks out of the very, very back behind here, P9, sat right at the topside.

02:31:59.720 --> 02:32:02.800
So they've actually got a moment here to strike when they're not going to have the warden,

02:32:02.800 --> 02:32:04.080
boggling them on the way through.

02:32:04.080 --> 02:32:07.280
They're so sorely needed, Keltzup, I can't find Jalada to one more.

02:32:07.280 --> 02:32:11.000
Reboot put dangerously low, even with the fire burning out around horse.

02:32:11.000 --> 02:32:15.240
To 5v2 and 20 to play, it's the real tool, Lord, for enterprise.

02:32:16.240 --> 02:32:18.440
All the rounds will be the way here as well as two-hunt.

02:32:18.440 --> 02:32:21.560
He can't see nothing, so if you're seeing the frustration of this trap, Matt,

02:32:21.560 --> 02:32:23.360
they're an easy swing.

02:32:23.360 --> 02:32:25.920
That's a false round in the flawless one.

02:32:25.920 --> 02:32:27.520
Coming in for twisted mines.

02:32:31.800 --> 02:32:34.560
There is a lot to do.

02:32:34.560 --> 02:32:38.520
A lot for Enterprise to fight in, and then find the four-attack timeout.

02:32:38.520 --> 02:32:40.280
That thing goes, listen.

02:32:40.280 --> 02:32:44.560
We've either need to go direct and make sure each step is done together

02:32:44.560 --> 02:32:47.120
and then send some lurks, OK?

02:32:47.120 --> 02:32:50.360
or we need to just sweep with the shield, okay?

02:32:50.360 --> 02:32:52.720
They had a pre-placer, they know how we do that sweep,

02:32:52.720 --> 02:32:54.880
sorry, so they did a tiny bit of prep on us, okay?

02:32:54.880 --> 02:32:55.720
Yeah.

02:32:55.720 --> 02:32:57.360
For kitchen, I don't think we should do,

02:32:57.360 --> 02:32:58.600
I don't think we should get a top down.

02:32:58.600 --> 02:33:00.760
I think we can do the first floor execute if you want.

02:33:00.760 --> 02:33:02.080
But guys, we're in the round.

02:33:02.080 --> 02:33:03.240
We're gonna top down, are they wanting a love?

02:33:03.240 --> 02:33:04.400
I think we did so far for sure.

02:33:04.400 --> 02:33:07.320
Okay, but just make sure guys, in these rounds,

02:33:07.320 --> 02:33:09.120
we are not three two oneing,

02:33:09.120 --> 02:33:12.240
the next target we're going in one by one by one by one,

02:33:12.240 --> 02:33:13.080
okay?

02:33:13.080 --> 02:33:16.000
Let's make sure his next step, we're three two oneing, okay?

02:33:16.000 --> 02:33:22.880
We need is around on a half. Okay, so let's lock in 3 2 1. Let's do everything together and please get the traps for people

02:33:22.880 --> 02:33:24.880
Call it. Let's go. Yeah, so you'll see us

02:33:27.200 --> 02:33:34.360
I think like might be a little bit optimistic there if they've got a pre place on the exact route that your shield normally takes on a sweep

02:33:34.360 --> 02:33:37.440
I think they might have done more than a little bit of prep on you

02:33:38.720 --> 02:33:42.440
It's a perfect. Yeah, I think they've got a fair good idea of what was coming now

02:33:42.440 --> 02:33:44.840
This isn't the end of the world for Enterprise.

02:33:44.840 --> 02:33:47.040
It's been a great start for Twisted Minds.

02:33:47.040 --> 02:33:48.240
Credit where it's due.

02:33:48.240 --> 02:33:51.840
As you've said, these are two of our best defensive teams

02:33:51.840 --> 02:33:52.840
in the tournament.

02:33:52.840 --> 02:33:56.240
So it is no surprise to see Twisted Minds coming out.

02:33:56.240 --> 02:33:58.840
The problem here is, for Enterprise,

02:33:58.840 --> 02:34:01.840
their mentality and resolve is really going to be tested.

02:34:01.840 --> 02:34:04.240
I would expect them to have a better half

02:34:04.240 --> 02:34:07.440
when they get onto the defense and be able to fight this back.

02:34:07.440 --> 02:34:09.840
I think a 2-4 is absolutely fine for them

02:34:09.840 --> 02:34:11.240
when they get onto the defense.

02:34:11.240 --> 02:34:15.280
But the question is mentally, will they be broken by that?

02:34:15.280 --> 02:34:19.440
Will they be broken by that process of Twisted Bines getting the lead?

02:34:20.560 --> 02:34:22.680
The main thing that worries me is Magstack time out there.

02:34:22.680 --> 02:34:24.400
For those of you in the arena, they didn't get a chance to hear it.

02:34:24.400 --> 02:34:27.080
Largely more saying the same is what we heard back on club.

02:34:27.480 --> 02:34:30.800
Going together, do it step by step as a team, sweeping with the shield.

02:34:31.040 --> 02:34:32.680
Call for the 3-2-1.

02:34:32.680 --> 02:34:35.240
Make sure we're clearing out the utility that others have called for us.

02:34:35.560 --> 02:34:38.560
And that kind of combo, that kind of call, really points to

02:34:38.560 --> 02:34:42.160
The boys aren't able to solve the problems by themselves in the server.

02:34:42.160 --> 02:34:44.160
This is often what a lot of coaches will say is,

02:34:44.160 --> 02:34:46.560
you're trying to quit the team to be able to fix the problems by themselves.

02:34:46.560 --> 02:34:50.160
They shouldn't need you to step in and fix things unless it's really going wrong.

02:34:50.160 --> 02:34:52.960
And I'm just a little bit nervous that we're getting the same course of mag

02:34:52.960 --> 02:34:54.960
as what we saw on the previous map.

02:34:56.560 --> 02:34:58.760
Let's say it's not had the impact previously.

02:34:58.760 --> 02:35:01.560
Is it going to have the impact this time?

02:35:01.560 --> 02:35:03.760
So we are on the bottom side of the map.

02:35:03.760 --> 02:35:06.160
It's going to be dorms and game.

02:35:06.160 --> 02:35:11.680
is the site this time around, we will just see the continuation of this rotation coming in from Twisted Minds.

02:35:11.680 --> 02:35:16.480
Having a look at exactly what enterprise they're shaping up for, how are they going to work together,

02:35:16.480 --> 02:35:22.000
how are they going to challenge in numbers. You've got Bappen underneath, he's already got himself into

02:35:22.000 --> 02:35:27.120
Infirmary on the book and he's been supported by Cairo, so they're going to make sure that they've got

02:35:27.120 --> 02:35:32.480
the space there to be able to get those challenges in from underneath, but the big problem has gone,

02:35:32.480 --> 02:35:44.120
Again, same window, same window, there's massive, massive problem, you cannot lose two hand there, that's your heart for each gun, so they now can't open dawn's wall, massive problem.

02:35:44.120 --> 02:35:57.920
They've just got to drop it and hope for the best here, to then push him through a single doorway to try and get control of sight, sounds rough, and they haven't got anyone trying to lurk towards the top side of the map, everything's looking very very predictable here, for the side of the twisted mines.

02:35:57.920 --> 02:36:01.360
So that that wall being opened up as though the full-clad spot to aim for,

02:36:01.360 --> 02:36:03.280
so they've not supported all through the tower,

02:36:03.280 --> 02:36:05.640
and it is an absolute scourge to get this done.

02:36:06.640 --> 02:36:09.640
Cairo continuing to try and bully up there with the shield,

02:36:09.640 --> 02:36:11.160
create a little bit of space,

02:36:11.160 --> 02:36:13.840
but with so previously on this defence,

02:36:13.840 --> 02:36:16.920
they've got some lines from more than capable of winning those gunfights.

02:36:16.920 --> 02:36:18.960
There's Crossfire and Skull War right now,

02:36:18.960 --> 02:36:21.320
there's Cairo managing to take down Tricks,

02:36:21.320 --> 02:36:23.840
three versus three, Bredo, Cairo, Maffin,

02:36:23.840 --> 02:36:26.160
all trying to push from that vent outside,

02:36:26.160 --> 02:36:28.840
And they've got the down, that's three versus two now.

02:36:28.840 --> 02:36:31.240
Guards and P9 have been forced back.

02:36:31.240 --> 02:36:34.560
Guards inside a meeting, just taking that long angle,

02:36:34.560 --> 02:36:37.000
but he's going to be able to do nothing about this pump.

02:36:37.000 --> 02:36:39.160
It's all up to P9, but they've got him covered.

02:36:39.160 --> 02:36:42.000
This is Brendo, needs to protect his planter,

02:36:42.000 --> 02:36:44.880
and does so, prevents the push coming across.

02:36:44.880 --> 02:36:47.000
And right now, Tussier Mines on the retic.

02:36:47.000 --> 02:36:48.080
Kairos there to play his life.

02:36:48.080 --> 02:36:50.040
He's just got to bait for his teammates here a little bit.

02:36:50.040 --> 02:36:51.640
Give them the angle to get some kills.

02:36:51.640 --> 02:36:54.800
As for C'mines, step in to try and work their magic.

02:36:54.800 --> 02:36:57.720
want to send to range there from Brenda, not quite finding his man.

02:36:57.720 --> 02:37:00.680
His job is to hold this door, but has to win this gunfight.

02:37:00.680 --> 02:37:02.800
It is crucial he wins this first one.

02:37:02.800 --> 02:37:06.640
Bappas, getting rid of your lads, is building into a second round, Tim.

02:37:06.640 --> 02:37:10.040
Enterprise, get the job done despite that car crash start.

02:37:11.600 --> 02:37:15.640
That's a really important second round coming out for Enterprise,

02:37:15.640 --> 02:37:19.560
because what it does now is it creates a choice for twisted minds.

02:37:19.560 --> 02:37:23.400
Do they go back to the same site and try again upstairs,

02:37:23.400 --> 02:37:26.600
the world here for enterprise.

02:37:26.600 --> 02:37:28.400
So I feel like said the same one

02:37:28.400 --> 02:37:29.400
more times what we need. They've

02:37:29.400 --> 02:37:31.400
met their standard now. They

02:37:31.400 --> 02:37:33.400
have an opportunity to take the

02:37:33.400 --> 02:37:34.400
three three and mentally that

02:37:34.400 --> 02:37:36.400
will be a huge boost for them.

02:37:36.400 --> 02:37:37.400
If they're going into that

02:37:37.400 --> 02:37:38.400
second half, they know how good

02:37:38.400 --> 02:37:40.400
they are defensively, so they

02:37:40.400 --> 02:37:42.400
feel like if they can take the

02:37:42.400 --> 02:37:43.400
even split here that the matches

02:37:43.400 --> 02:37:54.400
they're going into that second half. They know how good they are defensively, so they feel like if they can take the even split here that the matches there is for the taking.

02:37:54.400 --> 02:38:02.400
They haven't got a single entry in this game so far. Enterprise is showing real grit and spirit to fight their way back in round three or five.

02:38:02.400 --> 02:38:09.400
But there is a lot more to come in this game. I'm sure as I mentioned, Twisted Minds had a very good attacking day against G2 on this map.

02:38:09.400 --> 02:38:11.960
It's a couple of days ago, just three days, four days.

02:38:11.960 --> 02:38:14.520
Long enough to go now, they're one of the first to qualify.

02:38:14.520 --> 02:38:16.000
Let's see, I end.

02:38:16.000 --> 02:38:17.040
Let's see how this first half goes.

02:38:17.040 --> 02:38:18.680
We'll get a 3-3 or a twisted mines,

02:38:18.680 --> 02:38:21.040
take that 4-2 advantage into the second half.

02:38:21.040 --> 02:38:23.000
It's a very, very similar line-up once again

02:38:23.000 --> 02:38:26.120
from a twisted mines going so heavily into these track operators

02:38:26.120 --> 02:38:28.720
and the Solis, as you've seen a couple of times

02:38:28.720 --> 02:38:30.120
throughout this half.

02:38:31.400 --> 02:38:34.200
Yeah, keep an eye on Chilac, keep an eye on his position.

02:38:34.200 --> 02:38:35.760
Bottom right, it'd be screened,

02:38:35.760 --> 02:38:37.840
particularly whether he's first, lower or second,

02:38:37.840 --> 02:38:39.840
Those are the really important points.

02:38:39.840 --> 02:38:40.840
Is he playing to low?

02:38:40.840 --> 02:38:41.840
Oh, again!

02:38:41.840 --> 02:38:42.840
And he's being alarmed to play a bit low.

02:38:42.840 --> 02:38:45.840
Guard's taking out Jigsaw with the Nitro.

02:38:45.840 --> 02:38:47.840
Great use of utility.

02:38:47.840 --> 02:38:49.840
Continuing throughout this game from both teams.

02:38:49.840 --> 02:38:52.840
And Guard's there getting them a really good early start.

02:38:52.840 --> 02:38:54.840
The Clorazos, the Boards.

02:38:54.840 --> 02:38:56.840
There's huge loss for Enterprise.

02:38:56.840 --> 02:38:59.840
Not quite down in the world as he wasn't their primary investment in this round.

02:38:59.840 --> 02:39:01.840
I still think it's going to be Kyro here.

02:39:01.840 --> 02:39:02.840
I like how they've let him towards the Twitch.

02:39:02.840 --> 02:39:03.840
I was thinking about it in the previous round.

02:39:03.840 --> 02:39:05.840
You know that these traps are a different problem.

02:39:05.840 --> 02:39:08.480
that's following you down, making the shield less defensive.

02:39:08.480 --> 02:39:10.320
After you deal with that, well, bring them on this.

02:39:10.320 --> 02:39:12.240
That's going to go to 1 versus 1, and to lad.

02:39:12.240 --> 02:39:14.200
And it just runs straight at the black beard

02:39:14.200 --> 02:39:15.480
and gets a freebie, Tim.

02:39:15.480 --> 02:39:16.960
That now feels like round over already,

02:39:16.960 --> 02:39:19.440
because you've lost the main parts in this round.

02:39:19.440 --> 02:39:21.240
A 2D5 to recover.

02:39:21.240 --> 02:39:21.960
That's only 2 minutes.

02:39:21.960 --> 02:39:24.200
So 60 seconds in the bounce, but it's already nearly done.

02:39:24.200 --> 02:39:25.200
Yeah, it's a big problem.

02:39:25.200 --> 02:39:26.200
You can't be losing.

02:39:26.200 --> 02:39:28.400
If Carol's going to be sent on that sweep,

02:39:28.400 --> 02:39:30.000
we heard Mag talking about it.

02:39:30.000 --> 02:39:32.960
Use the shield, go on the sweep, clear them out.

02:39:32.960 --> 02:39:35.280
If you're going to do that, you can't just run the head

02:39:35.280 --> 02:39:37.280
to the solace and give them the kill.

02:39:37.280 --> 02:39:39.280
Brenda manages to get another onto P9,

02:39:39.280 --> 02:39:41.280
but the problem is they know where he is now,

02:39:41.280 --> 02:39:43.280
so they can push him.

02:39:43.280 --> 02:39:45.280
Ooh, size very nearly past their head,

02:39:45.280 --> 02:39:46.280
but won't be able to.

02:39:46.280 --> 02:39:48.280
There's a shum, causes it out,

02:39:48.280 --> 02:39:50.280
and that's going to be Twisted Minds going with a 4-2-1 half.

02:39:50.280 --> 02:39:52.280
I think both teams come out of that.

02:39:52.280 --> 02:39:54.280
Pretty happy.

02:39:54.280 --> 02:39:56.280
I think Twisted Minds will feel very...

02:39:56.280 --> 02:39:58.280
I've been licking their lips at the prospects of this team,

02:39:58.280 --> 02:40:00.280
because again, they were a brilliant attacking team

02:40:00.280 --> 02:40:01.280
against G2 the other day.

02:40:01.280 --> 02:40:03.280
Let's have a listen in, though, to the halftime.

02:40:03.280 --> 02:40:05.400
One round at a time, okay?

02:40:05.400 --> 02:40:06.840
Cairo knows what's right for playing,

02:40:06.840 --> 02:40:10.560
but we just have to be careful of their shield pushes, okay?

02:40:10.560 --> 02:40:11.760
If they don't bend the clash,

02:40:11.760 --> 02:40:13.920
we can stand the clash on the rest, okay?

02:40:13.920 --> 02:40:17.440
But guys, listen, especially for that club game, okay?

02:40:17.440 --> 02:40:19.800
We just need to make sure that in the early round,

02:40:19.800 --> 02:40:21.200
we're carrying the lurks.

02:40:21.200 --> 02:40:22.840
We need to be very careful of spiral.

02:40:22.840 --> 02:40:24.640
Hasham loves to play around spiral, okay?

02:40:24.640 --> 02:40:25.600
On the track.

02:40:25.600 --> 02:40:27.120
Careful of the lurks.

02:40:27.120 --> 02:40:28.200
We need to make sure we're calling

02:40:28.200 --> 02:40:30.160
exactly what we're holding, okay?

02:40:30.160 --> 02:40:31.440
I don't know if we're running a furious shot or not,

02:40:31.440 --> 02:40:32.880
Andres, but guys, please.

02:40:32.880 --> 02:40:37.880
We should make sure we're holding things and telling each other what we're holding, okay?

02:40:37.880 --> 02:40:41.880
We had none of that on club, so let's be proactive, and late round as well,

02:40:41.880 --> 02:40:46.880
we just didn't make sure we have a win condition, okay? Don't forget the win condition, guys, okay?

02:40:46.880 --> 02:40:49.880
Zero zero, we reset here, okay? We take control of the game.

02:40:49.880 --> 02:40:51.880
Anything from me, Odros?

02:40:51.880 --> 02:40:54.880
No, we're going to go in a second, you guys. We're going to grind the fucking shields, so careful.

02:40:54.880 --> 02:40:56.880
Only one side guy plays it, okay?

02:40:56.880 --> 02:40:58.880
So then we just get a little tubing up.

02:40:58.880 --> 02:41:05.880
We're going to go, we're going to just do a couple of clashes up, we're going to go off the side first, if it's banned we have to do off the straight, so pay attention please.

02:41:05.880 --> 02:41:06.880
Yeah.

02:41:06.880 --> 02:41:08.880
So let's just make sure we're playing together.

02:41:08.880 --> 02:41:11.880
I don't think we are in the conference situation right?

02:41:11.880 --> 02:41:12.880
Yeah.

02:41:12.880 --> 02:41:13.880
Let's do the same thing guys.

02:41:13.880 --> 02:41:17.880
You know, we have balls and just play as if we did it.

02:41:17.880 --> 02:41:25.880
If we want to do some chill thing like break a barrier so I can try to get on peak, okay we get on peak, halas, let's revamp and go again.

02:41:25.880 --> 02:41:31.880
Our sensing is they repeat. If they cannot repeat, then we have to peek, reset, and go again to do so later.

02:41:31.880 --> 02:41:34.880
Yeah, that's it. Nothing to lose.

02:41:34.880 --> 02:41:38.880
Far away, far away.

02:41:38.880 --> 02:41:40.880
Three more rounds.

02:41:40.880 --> 02:41:45.880
Two, three, mine on. Far away, far away.

02:41:45.880 --> 02:41:47.880
Thanks.

02:41:47.880 --> 02:41:49.880
Hello.

02:41:49.880 --> 02:41:52.880
Hello.

02:41:52.880 --> 02:42:09.880
I think it's fair to say Twisted Minds are having a better time with this team. They were having a little Sing Song Ranger in their halftime.

02:42:09.880 --> 02:42:15.880
Yeah, it certainly seems like they're just dealing with that pressure a little bit better at maintaining the vibe within the team.

02:42:15.880 --> 02:42:19.880
you're going to be able to

02:42:19.880 --> 02:42:21.880
get it over the line. It's

02:42:21.880 --> 02:42:23.880
going to be a great team, but.

02:42:23.880 --> 02:42:24.880
Well, it's however you get it

02:42:24.880 --> 02:42:25.880
over the line is an enterprise

02:42:25.880 --> 02:42:27.880
move on to the defense. This is

02:42:27.880 --> 02:42:29.880
a really, really important round

02:42:29.880 --> 02:42:31.880
here. I think if. If twisted

02:42:31.880 --> 02:42:33.880
minds come out with an attack

02:42:33.880 --> 02:42:35.880
immediately and go up to five

02:42:35.880 --> 02:42:36.880
two, I think enterprise you

02:42:36.880 --> 02:42:37.880
start really worrying for them

02:42:37.880 --> 02:42:39.880
if you're an enterprise fan at

02:42:39.880 --> 02:42:40.880
that point. So, uh, you know,

02:42:40.880 --> 02:42:41.880
usually we'd talk about this

02:42:41.880 --> 02:42:42.880
maybe around about round nine

02:42:42.880 --> 02:42:44.880
where it becomes kind of a

02:42:44.880 --> 02:42:50.640
We see the bands coming through twisted mines have gone for the clash. They are leaning into the shield

02:42:51.440 --> 02:42:55.240
Enterprise allowed them to do it. They haven't we heard them talking about it

02:42:55.240 --> 02:42:59.480
They've chosen not to ban away the shield. They've gone with the doggie Damos instead

02:42:59.560 --> 02:43:03.840
So they are accepting that they're gonna have to deal with guard on those shields

02:43:04.560 --> 02:43:10.240
How is that? How are they gonna do that? What's the plan? That's what we've got to watch here traps traps and more traps team

02:43:10.240 --> 02:43:12.560
It worked quite effectively against enterprise on their attacks

02:43:12.560 --> 02:43:14.560
I think you're going to see the same coming out twisted minds

02:43:14.560 --> 02:43:16.560
And again for those of you in the venue

02:43:16.560 --> 02:43:19.560
I'm just speaking about spamming Clash and it's got a band

02:43:19.560 --> 02:43:21.560
Clash and Twisted Minds had a good read

02:43:21.560 --> 02:43:24.560
That Clash being taken away will shut down a lot of the ideas that they had

02:43:24.560 --> 02:43:26.560
So now the owners turn onto them to figure it out

02:43:26.560 --> 02:43:28.560
And there we go to the P9

02:43:28.560 --> 02:43:30.560
Running around on that snake, it was banned away from them

02:43:30.560 --> 02:43:32.560
And the last time they played on this map

02:43:32.560 --> 02:43:35.560
And I think we might be about to find out why now that guards is also on the blitz

02:43:35.560 --> 02:43:40.560
Yeah, Jigsaw and Bappen are going to be tasked with holding on to games and dawns

02:43:40.560 --> 02:43:44.160
going to be on that bottom side and I think they're going to be coming under

02:43:44.160 --> 02:43:47.400
quite a lot of pressure all though. P9 looks like he's going to be heading

02:43:47.400 --> 02:43:51.800
straight in through the indoor, opens it up and he wants to get up and get control

02:43:51.800 --> 02:43:54.800
of Eagle Stairs.

02:43:55.120 --> 02:43:59.000
I guess the thing is the twisted minds in the series. Noted it across both maps.

02:43:59.000 --> 02:44:03.720
I've not felt the need to explode in all the time, be hyper-aggressive and fast

02:44:03.720 --> 02:44:07.520
even happy. To slow it down, bottom down the enterprise themselves would like to go a little bit

02:44:37.520 --> 02:44:40.320
so not too much of a problem at the minute for Enterprise.

02:44:40.320 --> 02:44:42.360
You are there champion of well here.

02:44:42.360 --> 02:44:43.720
Missed opportunity though.

02:44:43.720 --> 02:44:45.440
P9 taking no damage.

02:44:45.440 --> 02:44:46.800
It's a good main attack.

02:44:46.800 --> 02:44:48.560
Two smokes that came towards Blue Tower.

02:44:48.560 --> 02:44:50.880
Once it's trying to turn the tension that way,

02:44:50.880 --> 02:44:52.200
Tujan wasn't falling for it,

02:44:52.200 --> 02:44:54.600
but couldn't find the head of P9.

02:44:54.600 --> 02:44:56.320
Jalad the first to strike down goes.

02:44:56.320 --> 02:44:57.800
He really puts a response back.

02:44:57.800 --> 02:44:58.960
A trade in from Jigsaw.

02:44:58.960 --> 02:45:01.280
Guardz is moving in through this bottom side now

02:45:01.280 --> 02:45:01.960
on the blitz.

02:45:01.960 --> 02:45:03.520
He's chasing Jigsaw away,

02:45:03.520 --> 02:45:05.720
so they do have that control over again.

02:45:05.720 --> 02:45:11.380
The problem for Guardia does is there's nobody with him. Everybody else is over on that other side at the minute

02:45:11.380 --> 02:45:17.200
He's just playing distraction whilst they try to take Eagle whilst they try to push down onto that side door

02:45:17.200 --> 02:45:22.040
But at the minute twisted mines, they're a little bit stuck. They're not really progressing or moving forward

02:45:22.760 --> 02:45:25.600
No, it's not clear, but he's just trying to waste as much time as he can here

02:45:25.600 --> 02:45:27.600
He's come towards our last 60 seconds

02:45:27.680 --> 02:45:31.160
Potentially a preview, Brenda, the one finished off and now Guardia is marching on forward

02:45:31.160 --> 02:45:32.520
thought he got the fast one, no.

02:45:32.520 --> 02:45:35.360
There's a down from elsewhere, incomes have gone to...

02:45:35.360 --> 02:45:37.920
Gards was happy to sit and stare and beat him up to his team,

02:45:37.920 --> 02:45:40.320
and it's a close-out round for Twisted Minds, Tim.

02:45:40.320 --> 02:45:42.520
You said it'd be dangerous if they've got the first round.

02:45:42.520 --> 02:45:44.240
Well, they've got it. It's 5-2.

02:45:44.240 --> 02:45:46.240
Not only have they got the first round, Des,

02:45:46.240 --> 02:45:49.240
but they have punished a decision from Enterprise.

02:45:49.240 --> 02:45:52.400
So now you've got an element where those players can be in their heads,

02:45:52.400 --> 02:45:55.000
thinking, have we done the right thing with the DMO stock

02:45:55.000 --> 02:45:57.240
to be banned here? We've had guards come in.

02:45:57.240 --> 02:46:01.080
He's caused a real problem. He's gone in there, got the kill onto Jigsaw.

02:46:01.080 --> 02:46:04.520
He's then come around past Central Stairs, up into horse.

02:46:04.520 --> 02:46:08.360
He's basically run the bottom half of that map with the shield on his own.

02:46:08.360 --> 02:46:10.840
And that's something Enterprise have allowed him to do.

02:46:10.840 --> 02:46:13.680
Despite all the traps that they've brought, what's slowed him down?

02:46:13.680 --> 02:46:15.800
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

02:46:15.800 --> 02:46:19.800
They have to have a better plan to deal with these shields.

02:46:20.920 --> 02:46:22.760
They look a bit scared, Tim. Yep.

02:46:22.760 --> 02:46:25.160
They just look a bit scared.

02:46:25.840 --> 02:46:27.160
Back to the first half.

02:46:27.160 --> 02:46:29.040
Twist in mind, C4s on towards Windows.

02:46:29.040 --> 02:46:32.200
We're spending everything with absolute confidence.

02:46:32.200 --> 02:46:34.040
Enterprises in their previous rounds,

02:46:34.040 --> 02:46:35.600
preferred to try and sit behind utility

02:46:35.600 --> 02:46:38.720
and gave lots of space up for it and were aptly punished.

02:46:38.720 --> 02:46:40.800
You can't play these track-heavy lineups

02:46:40.800 --> 02:46:42.160
and then play defensive.

02:46:42.160 --> 02:46:43.880
You can sit behind the tracks,

02:46:43.880 --> 02:46:47.200
but that wasn't really what happened in the previous rounds.

02:46:47.200 --> 02:46:48.680
Now move ourselves down to the site

02:46:48.680 --> 02:46:50.520
at the other end of this top floor,

02:46:50.520 --> 02:46:52.560
which means an extension from Enterprise

02:46:52.560 --> 02:46:54.600
towards where we're defending just a moment ago.

02:46:54.600 --> 02:46:56.200
So you'll see some of the same action,

02:46:56.200 --> 02:46:58.120
but as we saw from Enterprises in their attack,

02:46:58.120 --> 02:47:00.000
There's been direct sight for this one more often than not.

02:47:00.000 --> 02:47:01.840
Didn't bother trying to go for a full sweep.

02:47:01.840 --> 02:47:03.160
Yeah.

02:47:03.160 --> 02:47:05.320
I think, you know, it's very, very common.

02:47:05.320 --> 02:47:06.760
Get that dorms wall open.

02:47:06.760 --> 02:47:09.320
Get control of old tower off the drop

02:47:09.320 --> 02:47:10.440
and try to push in.

02:47:10.440 --> 02:47:14.040
Briefing is such a difficult space to take from this side.

02:47:14.040 --> 02:47:17.240
And God is shaping up on the briefing side.

02:47:17.240 --> 02:47:19.600
He does have P9 in support as well over there.

02:47:19.600 --> 02:47:22.640
So it looks like it could be a full sweep across

02:47:22.640 --> 02:47:23.920
from the top floor at the minute

02:47:23.920 --> 02:47:26.120
that Twisted Binds are shaping up for.

02:47:26.120 --> 02:47:26.960
And I think it's a good idea.

02:47:26.960 --> 02:47:30.080
got all the utility in the world to do it those first three operators primarily the

02:47:30.080 --> 02:47:33.120
ones I'm looking at the snake of course fishing out all the information that he

02:47:33.120 --> 02:47:36.800
needs the flicks to charge on for the lion to punish anyone who's hanging around

02:47:36.800 --> 02:47:39.840
a bit too long even the forest to turn away with those drugs will get rid of all

02:47:39.840 --> 02:47:42.880
the barbed wire this week we've been seeing some teams bringing along six

02:47:42.880 --> 02:47:46.200
loads of barbed wire it's like a trap you can use to slow down the other side of

02:47:46.200 --> 02:47:49.760
course has the noise indicator as well it's just even more ways of slowing down

02:47:49.760 --> 02:47:53.520
the attackers Enterprise are reacting nicely to where the pressure is coming

02:47:53.520 --> 02:47:57.680
from Cairo is there, left on site to deal with the old tower drop, but otherwise,

02:47:57.680 --> 02:48:00.080
Touham has shifted forward into bathroom.

02:48:00.080 --> 02:48:03.840
Brendle has shifted out of dorms and more towards central stairs.

02:48:03.840 --> 02:48:08.640
They're all kind of budging over to try and support towards that command push,

02:48:08.640 --> 02:48:11.040
towards that Eagle push to hold on tight.

02:48:11.040 --> 02:48:12.640
But how about this, Hashom?

02:48:12.640 --> 02:48:17.120
He knows the peek is coming from Touham, uses the DMR to take him down.

02:48:17.120 --> 02:48:19.720
Five versus four, twisted minds.

02:48:19.720 --> 02:48:22.560
They really are pushing forward aggressively now.

02:48:22.560 --> 02:48:27.320
They tried to go across the two margains at the wrong time as the lion scams come out and all the other gadgetryers followed.

02:48:27.880 --> 02:48:33.560
So you're on going down, not the end of the world in Italy, it's about 90 seconds here, we've wasted all that time up on the top side of the map.

02:48:33.560 --> 02:48:41.080
Now you can get in, Cairo's reinforcing up the briefing wall to have to try and force the attackers to use more hard breach to get on through, which team they don't actually have any.

02:48:41.080 --> 02:48:43.240
So now they won't be able to get that wall open at all.

02:48:43.360 --> 02:48:51.840
Ashom's actually moved himself into an interested position on the lion, he's just waiting next to this wall, it's not breached at the minute, but he couldn't hop in through this window.

02:48:51.840 --> 02:48:54.780
Just giving a little bit of a ping a little bit of intel there

02:48:54.780 --> 02:49:00.000
I'm not sure how aware enterprise are he could really damage them as this round

02:49:00.300 --> 02:49:06.120
Progressive arrow is moving onto that window to challenge those so we're gonna have a little bit of a standoff

02:49:06.320 --> 02:49:10.680
45 seconds left to go twisted mind stalling out a little bit

02:49:10.680 --> 02:49:12.680
Yeah

02:49:21.840 --> 02:49:26.720
And again, Tibny Aussies are just crumbling under the weight of the Twisted Minds aggression.

02:49:26.720 --> 02:49:28.480
It's a one versus four, Cairo.

02:49:28.480 --> 02:49:30.800
Five seconds, but can't quite get any more.

02:49:30.800 --> 02:49:33.920
Twisted Minds up to Mappen's series point.

02:49:33.920 --> 02:49:38.640
They are one round away from giving men a their first semi-final.

02:49:38.640 --> 02:49:42.800
Twisted Minds, it feels like they can just smell the blood in the water at the minute, Des.

02:49:42.800 --> 02:49:47.840
They are circling and they know that Enterprise are very nearly done.

02:49:47.840 --> 02:49:51.040
The Aussies are going to have to dig seriously deep here.

02:49:51.040 --> 02:49:56.640
They need to find that strength within to bring themselves back into this matchup.

02:49:56.640 --> 02:50:00.000
And it is not going to be easy the first time on main stage,

02:50:00.000 --> 02:50:03.440
the first time that they face this kind of deficit.

02:50:03.440 --> 02:50:08.800
Four rounds in a row that they need to continue here at Salt Lake City.

02:50:08.800 --> 02:50:13.760
And those last two rounds from Twisted Minds, they have been so convincing.

02:50:13.760 --> 02:50:18.880
They have been absolutely clinical in everything that they have tried to do.

02:50:18.880 --> 02:50:22.880
the game. It's just a

02:50:22.880 --> 02:50:26.880
total of three rounds going the

02:50:26.880 --> 02:50:28.880
way of enterprise. And it's hard

02:50:28.880 --> 02:50:30.880
to see how twisted minds get

02:50:30.880 --> 02:50:32.880
slowed down here. It's a full

02:50:32.880 --> 02:50:34.880
round deficit. It does happen,

02:50:34.880 --> 02:50:36.880
but it is extremely unlikely,

02:50:36.880 --> 02:50:37.880
especially given the proficiency

02:50:37.880 --> 02:50:38.880
with which twisted minds

02:50:38.880 --> 02:50:40.880
played. Now come back to what I

02:50:40.880 --> 02:50:42.880
said earlier about that game.

02:50:42.880 --> 02:50:43.880
They're getting to the plate

02:50:43.880 --> 02:50:44.880
extremely well, but then on

02:50:44.880 --> 02:50:46.880
fortress and the re delivering

02:50:46.880 --> 02:50:48.880
will fans of playing them on

02:50:48.880 --> 02:50:50.880
club or fortress in the future?

02:50:50.880 --> 02:50:52.880
No, they'll get the opportunity to be honest.

02:50:52.880 --> 02:50:54.880
I think it is going to be unless you

02:50:54.880 --> 02:50:56.880
against somebody who is seriously confident

02:50:56.880 --> 02:50:58.880
in these maps themselves. It's going to be

02:50:58.880 --> 02:51:00.880
something that you see banned away from them.

02:51:00.880 --> 02:51:02.880
It's interesting because you know, Mike was so

02:51:02.880 --> 02:51:04.880
confident in that map and phase that

02:51:04.880 --> 02:51:06.880
they'd got the maps that they wanted, that

02:51:06.880 --> 02:51:08.880
it was what they expected.

02:51:08.880 --> 02:51:10.880
I don't know, you've got to feel at the

02:51:10.880 --> 02:51:12.880
minute like twisted minds have come away on top.

02:51:12.880 --> 02:51:14.880
So round eight, round nine

02:51:14.880 --> 02:51:23.140
could be the last and they're gonna be attacking onto that bottom floor. I think it's very telling that Enterprise have lost every single entry engagement in this game.

02:51:23.140 --> 02:51:34.640
They're only going to trade out one of them, but early aggression shown by just the mines and I say it early, sometimes it's not even super early in the round, it's quite late, but it's the aggression they show them, it executes which is what really gets them flying.

02:51:34.640 --> 02:51:44.840
I think that's the things Enterprise are always playing from the back foot. Ninth round in a row, they lose the entry. I think Enterprise are suffering a little bit to that misplaced confidence in their ability to

02:51:44.840 --> 02:51:48.560
deal with the shields as well it's not been the only problem but guards has been

02:51:48.560 --> 02:51:53.440
such a thorn in their spine. How about this P9 he makes it a third as he downs

02:51:53.440 --> 02:51:58.520
two-hand unlikely to be collected at this point but effectively two versus five

02:51:58.520 --> 02:52:03.120
do they fit the risk the aggression is mounting Cairo he manages to put the

02:52:03.120 --> 02:52:10.280
brakes on manages to find P9 gives Enterprise something to hope with. One more on some

02:52:10.280 --> 02:52:14.480
The Nielsen's are equal again, but they've got to win this shot, and then they're not going to hush on.

02:52:14.480 --> 02:52:16.880
Finds what he needs up to 11-3.

02:52:16.880 --> 02:52:23.380
Rendo with all three smokes in his back pocket, a C4 to help, but cannot stand the tithe of twisted minds.

02:52:23.380 --> 02:52:29.280
There is still a shield on the board, guards, he takes a little bit of damage, but can find his way in,

02:52:29.280 --> 02:52:35.680
and a little bit of space to pull that defuser down, Enterprise, two versus three as they start on the retic.

02:52:35.680 --> 02:52:40.080
The post-pun, five-pun to keep himself in the midget.

02:52:40.080 --> 02:52:44.240
Here we go, guys, up nice and points. He's been a fantastic player all along,

02:52:44.240 --> 02:52:50.600
and it only continues as they knock out Enterprise, breaking eight backhards,

02:52:50.600 --> 02:52:56.400
but raising and elevating many ones as they are the first team to step into our semi-finals.

02:52:56.400 --> 02:53:01.600
It really does cement that legacy and legend for this team, for these players there,

02:53:01.600 --> 02:53:07.840
for the longest time they have been fighting to push further into the top levels of these tournaments

02:53:07.840 --> 02:53:12.600
for that Mena region, we've seen them reach the top eight multiple times in an year.

02:53:12.600 --> 02:53:14.760
Haven't they just looked playing here, Dez?

02:53:14.760 --> 02:53:15.760
I think they've done it.

02:53:15.760 --> 02:53:20.240
And Shov said, yes, this could be their time to bring something home to Mena.

02:53:20.240 --> 02:53:24.280
If they carry on playing like this, they may well be absolutely right.

02:53:24.280 --> 02:53:26.280
Commiserations, of course, to Enterprise.

02:53:26.280 --> 02:53:29.120
First time for this roster of five on the main stage.

02:53:29.120 --> 02:53:33.800
No doubt, a lot to learn, and I am confident if they keep on playing like this and sit together,

02:53:33.800 --> 02:53:37.120
we will see them back at an event on the live stage.

02:53:37.120 --> 02:53:45.120
Yeah, brilliant performance from Enterprise, winning a lot of harks and a lot of fans here in Salt Lake City, but falling just short.

02:53:45.120 --> 02:53:52.120
It has been a brilliant accomplishment for them, but all it's done really, I think, is giving them the taste of what it could have been.

02:53:53.120 --> 02:53:57.120
I guess if you're looking for the silver lining team, at least it wasn't super close.

02:53:57.120 --> 02:54:00.120
It did take three maps, but it's set across those last two maps.

02:54:00.120 --> 02:54:01.120
Swisty minds, man.

02:54:01.120 --> 02:54:02.120
They were on another level.

02:54:02.120 --> 02:54:03.120
They were just a different piece.

02:54:03.120 --> 02:54:08.120
There's no slowing them down. They knew when to play slow, when to play fast, when to be aggressive.

02:54:08.120 --> 02:54:13.120
It was spectacular. Let's go to it now on the stage. You're standing by with a shot.

02:54:13.120 --> 02:54:19.120
Incredible scenes. We have just seen our first semi-finalist locked in. It is of course Twisted Minds.

02:54:19.120 --> 02:54:27.120
Sean, you've just made history putting men on the map. First ever men team to make it into a semi-final of this magnitude.

02:54:27.120 --> 02:54:29.120
How proud are you right now?

02:54:29.120 --> 02:54:36.560
I'm so proud of my teammates and I'm so proud, really, I'm so happy and thank you for the fans.

02:54:36.560 --> 02:54:42.560
And the MENA region are so good, I think they should bring MENA league back at least to support for us.

02:54:42.560 --> 02:54:43.560
And that's it.

02:54:43.560 --> 02:54:49.360
You look so confident and you've looked so confident from the moment I spoke to you at the start of this event.

02:54:49.360 --> 02:54:55.120
You said that you're going to go all the way for this trophy. Why are you so confident in yourself and the team?

02:54:55.120 --> 02:54:57.360
Because I have a monster with me.

02:54:57.360 --> 02:54:58.360
That's it.

02:54:58.360 --> 02:55:00.860
Have you got a message for your fans watching at home?

02:55:00.860 --> 02:55:03.860
Thanks for the fans. Just a jump.

02:55:03.860 --> 02:55:09.360
All right, so let's see, make some noise for Twisted Minds who are in the semi-final.

02:55:09.360 --> 02:55:12.860
Best of luck going forward. We're going to continue this ride.

02:55:12.860 --> 02:55:16.360
We roll on to our second quarter-final after the break.

02:55:28.360 --> 02:55:30.360
Ain't no time to waste

02:55:30.360 --> 02:55:32.360
I ain't even getting a go

02:55:32.360 --> 02:55:33.360
Breaking it right to the bone

02:55:33.360 --> 02:55:35.360
If I just tell me it couldn't be done

02:55:37.360 --> 02:55:38.360
Take it to action

02:55:40.360 --> 02:55:41.360
Do what the action

02:55:42.360 --> 02:55:43.360
Lights

02:55:43.360 --> 02:55:44.360
Lights

02:55:44.360 --> 02:55:45.360
Camera

02:55:45.360 --> 02:55:46.360
Camera

02:55:46.360 --> 02:55:48.360
Do what the action

03:01:58.360 --> 03:02:04.720
has already been made here in Salt Lake City and we are literally just getting

03:02:04.720 --> 03:02:10.120
started. Twisted minds become the first men a team ever to secure a spot in a

03:02:10.120 --> 03:02:16.520
semifinal. Congratulations to them but it came at the cost of enterprise out of

03:02:16.520 --> 03:02:20.200
the tournament here and now but it can hold their heads high. They sure can I

03:02:20.200 --> 03:02:24.520
mean to be able to after six years have an OCE team make it to the main stage

03:02:24.520 --> 03:02:28.200
you can't be upset. Yes Mag has the experience he's no he knows what it

03:02:28.200 --> 03:02:30.640
takes to be able to get your team after, you know, they're

03:02:30.640 --> 03:02:33.560
heading the game after losing a map down, but it's all those

03:02:33.560 --> 03:02:35.960
players first main stage appearance. You cannot be

03:02:35.960 --> 03:02:38.600
upset, especially how aggressive Twisted Minds are with

03:02:38.600 --> 03:02:39.680
getting those opening picks.

03:02:39.800 --> 03:02:41.600
Absolutely not. And for Twisted Minds, I mean, they can move

03:02:41.600 --> 03:02:44.280
that goal post one step closer of getting to a grand final.

03:02:44.280 --> 03:02:46.400
They just have to make it to that semi final. But I mean, we

03:02:46.400 --> 03:02:49.000
heard the cast even talk about, I mean, controlling the pacing,

03:02:49.080 --> 03:02:52.280
controlling that tempo, what they have 22 opening picks going

03:02:52.280 --> 03:02:55.280
into their favor on the side of BP with only six or seven not

03:02:55.280 --> 03:02:57.400
trying to make a joke there. But I mean, you can clearly

03:02:57.400 --> 03:03:00.840
understand why they took complete control of that Fortress map.

03:03:00.840 --> 03:03:03.720
Really impressive. Congratulations to Twisted Mines.

03:03:03.720 --> 03:03:07.400
We move on. The show goes on here in Salt Lake City.

03:03:07.400 --> 03:03:13.520
G2 versus Shopify Rebellion, aka Stomping versus Spite.

03:03:13.520 --> 03:03:15.560
Who do you think is the better player?

03:03:15.560 --> 03:03:18.000
We want to know what you think right here, right now.

03:03:18.000 --> 03:03:20.160
I can hear the fans shouting who they think is better.

03:03:20.160 --> 03:03:22.800
We will come back to the results shortly.

03:03:22.800 --> 03:03:26.360
Let's now talk in detail about G2.

03:03:26.360 --> 03:03:34.440
Rainbow Six Sieges bad boys have arrived and I absolutely love when these guys come into town for playoffs weekend.

03:03:34.440 --> 03:03:40.040
Yeah. Water team. They are some bad boys. And you know, speaking with Doki last night, well before today evening, I started asking,

03:03:40.040 --> 03:03:43.560
does it feel like a honeymoon phase with this new Shiko and Benja iteration?

03:03:43.560 --> 03:03:46.040
And he said absolutely not. Everything's been jelling extremely well.

03:03:46.040 --> 03:03:50.840
And I have to agree because when you think about it, Benja's already played on this roster. He won an SI with this team.

03:03:50.840 --> 03:03:53.160
So naturally that chemistry camaraderie is already there.

03:03:53.160 --> 03:03:57.060
But even for the side of Shaiiko when they were counter parts when he was on Falcons or BDS

03:03:57.360 --> 03:04:01.460
Doki and then were always hanging out after every single event. They were partying

03:04:01.460 --> 03:04:06.160
They were living life and you could clearly see it shows in their play whether it's been in kickoff

03:04:06.160 --> 03:04:09.480
whether it's been in Roz's most recent tournament and especially here now

03:04:09.480 --> 03:04:14.500
They are on main stage yet again to prove why they're so deserving to be here. They love to party don't they?

03:04:14.500 --> 03:04:20.780
They do absolutely. What is it about this roster that really is standing out to you right now?

03:04:20.780 --> 03:04:26.460
I'm getting chills just talking about it's the lethal dynamic of this team when you think about it that spearhead that entry point of

03:04:26.540 --> 03:04:32.240
Shiko and Doki being able to work tannily together be able to open up rounds to be able to facilitate that entry point

03:04:32.240 --> 03:04:37.900
And then you have Benja you have Alan now able to take the mid-round especially Benja on those operators to disrupt

03:04:38.120 --> 03:04:40.460
Operators to remove players out of positions

03:04:40.460 --> 03:04:47.620
But the biggest key the backbone of this team that I have to highlight has got to be stomping that young gifted

03:04:47.620 --> 03:04:49.500
a mechanically talented player.

03:04:49.500 --> 03:04:50.540
Stompin is the man.

03:04:50.540 --> 03:04:52.820
He is the backbone of this G2 roster.

03:04:52.820 --> 03:04:54.900
Now, when you think of rookies coming into a scene,

03:04:54.900 --> 03:04:56.460
they're playing those flashy operators.

03:04:56.460 --> 03:04:57.780
They're playing those entries.

03:04:57.780 --> 03:05:00.980
No, he is doing it on a defensive, supportive style.

03:05:00.980 --> 03:05:04.100
And especially on an attack, he is so meticulous.

03:05:04.100 --> 03:05:06.900
And the way that he plays, he is so calculating.

03:05:06.900 --> 03:05:09.100
He understands in those mid to late rounds

03:05:09.100 --> 03:05:11.820
where the position needs to be held, how he can execute.

03:05:11.820 --> 03:05:13.540
And he plays it like an entry player.

03:05:13.540 --> 03:05:15.500
He can get multi-frags on those roles.

03:05:15.500 --> 03:05:19.100
The second he is set up, he can make nothing out of something,

03:05:19.100 --> 03:05:20.580
and it is so tremendous to watch him.

03:05:20.580 --> 03:05:22.300
And something scary to even think about.

03:05:22.300 --> 03:05:23.020
He is so new.

03:05:23.020 --> 03:05:25.380
I don't even think he's reached his peak yet.

03:05:25.380 --> 03:05:28.220
And that is something so scary and frightening to go again.

03:05:28.220 --> 03:05:29.260
That's a beautiful way to put it.

03:05:29.260 --> 03:05:30.060
That was really well said.

03:05:30.060 --> 03:05:31.660
I mean, stopping himself, he's a player

03:05:31.660 --> 03:05:33.300
that can play every single role.

03:05:33.300 --> 03:05:35.100
Of course, you're going to look at him and be like, oh,

03:05:35.100 --> 03:05:36.420
shouldn't he be on entry?

03:05:36.420 --> 03:05:37.700
But that's not the key to it.

03:05:37.700 --> 03:05:38.860
You put him on a flex support.

03:05:38.860 --> 03:05:40.500
You put him as the third man in.

03:05:40.500 --> 03:05:41.980
Once he locks down a position, I mean,

03:05:41.980 --> 03:05:44.860
that's where the clutch factor comes out, those Jinxy 1v1s.

03:05:44.860 --> 03:05:47.100
That's where he's able to shine when he's in those situations.

03:05:47.100 --> 03:05:48.780
Clearly, it's paid dividends.

03:05:48.780 --> 03:05:51.660
I think the fans here are super excited to see him as well,

03:05:51.660 --> 03:05:54.940
and they're also massively excited to see the NA super

03:05:54.940 --> 03:05:58.820
team on the other side, Shopify Rebellion.

03:05:58.820 --> 03:06:01.220
Another star studded roster.

03:06:01.220 --> 03:06:03.900
The crowd cannot wait to see them in action,

03:06:03.900 --> 03:06:06.060
and Fox, they have arrived.

03:06:06.060 --> 03:06:07.940
I mean, I'm glad you said the NA super team,

03:06:07.940 --> 03:06:10.940
because some people forget that this is the NA super team.

03:06:10.940 --> 03:06:12.540
They have so much talent on the roster.

03:06:12.540 --> 03:06:16.600
Canadian, the best arguably historical IGL in the world,

03:06:16.600 --> 03:06:18.020
Ambi, up and coming rookie.

03:06:18.020 --> 03:06:21.020
I mean, it's really crazy to say that he's still a rookie,

03:06:21.020 --> 03:06:23.020
but that being said, he's an amazing player.

03:06:23.020 --> 03:06:24.860
Surf, Rex and the backbone players

03:06:24.860 --> 03:06:26.580
that are consistently there for the flex.

03:06:26.580 --> 03:06:28.940
I mean, this team has all of the pieces

03:06:28.940 --> 03:06:30.420
what they need to be able to solve.

03:06:30.420 --> 03:06:32.860
They have the best players in the best positions.

03:06:32.860 --> 03:06:34.180
They are flawless.

03:06:34.180 --> 03:06:36.500
And this event, they've really hit the ground running on it.

03:06:36.500 --> 03:06:38.540
One man you didn't mention there,

03:06:38.540 --> 03:06:40.660
but it seems like the rest of the world

03:06:40.660 --> 03:06:42.940
is talking about him, Spoyd.

03:06:42.940 --> 03:06:44.900
Yeah, I didn't mention it because we

03:06:44.900 --> 03:06:46.220
wanted to save it for this part.

03:06:46.220 --> 03:06:48.700
I mean, Spoyd, all eyes have been on him.

03:06:48.700 --> 03:06:50.420
And something that we saw during kickoff,

03:06:50.420 --> 03:06:53.500
him saying that if you're doubting me, that's fine.

03:06:53.500 --> 03:06:55.780
Just keep that same energy, and I'll prove you wrong.

03:06:55.780 --> 03:06:58.180
And I think, when you look at kickoff and SR

03:06:58.180 --> 03:06:59.940
and all the criticism that they were receiving,

03:06:59.940 --> 03:07:02.260
and now you look at how they came in to Salt Lake City

03:07:02.260 --> 03:07:04.740
in Utah, I mean, these are Spoyd night and day

03:07:04.740 --> 03:07:05.460
difference.

03:07:05.460 --> 03:07:08.740
He's been tremendous at getting those opening chills.

03:07:08.740 --> 03:07:11.980
And that's all of the problems from SR that have been solved.

03:07:11.980 --> 03:07:13.980
And when you look at his stats throughout kickoff,

03:07:13.980 --> 03:07:15.180
there really aren't that bad.

03:07:15.180 --> 03:07:17.100
He's still a top 10, top 20 player.

03:07:17.100 --> 03:07:17.820
Yeah, absolutely.

03:07:17.820 --> 03:07:19.940
So the fact that people are criticizing him so heavily

03:07:19.940 --> 03:07:21.100
is very confusing to me.

03:07:21.100 --> 03:07:23.180
But he took that personally.

03:07:23.180 --> 03:07:25.980
And the whole team has really been firing on all cylinders

03:07:25.980 --> 03:07:26.940
when it comes to this event.

03:07:26.940 --> 03:07:27.700
Yeah, they absolutely have.

03:07:27.700 --> 03:07:28.580
And I think it's something to note.

03:07:28.580 --> 03:07:30.660
I mean, they got a lot of shit during kickoff.

03:07:30.660 --> 03:07:31.660
It was in best of ones.

03:07:31.660 --> 03:07:33.660
We saw what they were able to replicate in best of threes.

03:07:33.660 --> 03:07:35.820
And they have ran to Gauntlet, technically speaking,

03:07:35.820 --> 03:07:36.300
even here.

03:07:36.300 --> 03:07:37.660
They had to play extra games.

03:07:37.660 --> 03:07:38.620
And even going into this years,

03:07:38.620 --> 03:07:41.040
They have more rounds played than G2 has.

03:07:41.040 --> 03:07:42.700
And when we think about it as form of players,

03:07:42.700 --> 03:07:44.820
getting those extra reps, especially coming

03:07:44.820 --> 03:07:48.020
into a main stage appearance, definitely will pay off.

03:07:48.020 --> 03:07:50.260
And when we look at kickoff and all the issues

03:07:50.260 --> 03:07:52.300
that they have, opening kills, staying alive,

03:07:52.300 --> 03:07:55.180
using that man advantage, being able to use Canadian,

03:07:55.180 --> 03:07:57.020
Spoit not only is playing amazing,

03:07:57.020 --> 03:07:58.300
but the whole team is amplified.

03:07:58.300 --> 03:07:59.500
They're the best survival team.

03:07:59.500 --> 03:08:01.900
They're the best entry team and the best cost team.

03:08:01.900 --> 03:08:03.980
So essentially when they're getting that opening kill,

03:08:03.980 --> 03:08:06.140
which they're dominating, they're able to stay alive.

03:08:06.140 --> 03:08:07.740
They're not losing these opening kills.

03:08:07.740 --> 03:08:10.980
not losing the man advantage and the cost. I mean that comes down to Canadian

03:08:10.980 --> 03:08:14.580
being able to use all this pause being able to position everyone where they

03:08:14.580 --> 03:08:18.660
need to be to close out these rounds that's exactly what SR has fixed from

03:08:18.660 --> 03:08:21.420
kickoff and why they look like a team that could win it all.

03:08:21.420 --> 03:08:26.580
Lax this is a who's who of Siege, Superstar, the McRostervoad, so many big names,

03:08:26.580 --> 03:08:31.180
so much big main stage experience as well that will come into play here because

03:08:31.180 --> 03:08:34.580
it's all well and good talking about how well these teams have performed in the

03:08:34.580 --> 03:08:38.180
this is where they know how to do it in the big leagues and there's a lot of

03:08:38.180 --> 03:08:41.180
experience coming to play here. Oh absolutely I mean all these players know

03:08:41.180 --> 03:08:43.580
what it's like to be on the stage some of these players know what it's like to

03:08:43.580 --> 03:08:46.740
win world championships to say the least but the fact of the matter is here

03:08:46.740 --> 03:08:49.940
something you can definitely expect from this matchup it's gonna be a

03:08:49.940 --> 03:08:54.060
frag fest. It is going to be blow-for-blow trade for trade I'm expecting

03:08:54.060 --> 03:08:57.780
nothing less than straight gunfights straight action and I just want to get

03:08:57.780 --> 03:09:01.020
into it. I want to get into it as well we said at the start that this was our

03:09:01.020 --> 03:09:04.940
must see and we cannot wait to see it. And I also cannot wait to see who you

03:09:04.940 --> 03:09:10.620
voted for. Who's the better player? Is it Stumpin or Spoyt and is you overwhelmingly

03:09:10.620 --> 03:09:14.140
going in favor of NA bias? Stumpin. What do you think of that?

03:09:14.780 --> 03:09:19.020
I mean it makes sense. I feel like again people are forgetting who Spoyt is.

03:09:19.020 --> 03:09:19.580
I agree.

03:09:19.580 --> 03:09:22.780
Straight out the gate being able to win your first major coming to NA.

03:09:22.780 --> 03:09:28.140
Being able to dominate on a team of so much talent always being that name that people talk about.

03:09:28.140 --> 03:09:33.860
And again, his statistics, he was still within that top 10, top 15, and people were criticizing it.

03:09:33.860 --> 03:09:35.300
Yeah, I mean, I guess.

03:09:35.300 --> 03:09:36.460
Tell us the gameplay speak for it now.

03:09:36.460 --> 03:09:40.060
I get it. I get it why stomping so high, but at the end of the day too, spoits up there.

03:09:40.060 --> 03:09:42.500
We gotta be able to hold these two hand in hand.

03:09:42.500 --> 03:09:44.300
You know who I wanna talk about here?

03:09:44.300 --> 03:09:46.540
One of my favorite players in the entire scene.

03:09:46.540 --> 03:09:51.420
And I met him actually at my very first event, the Charlotte Major way back in 2022.

03:09:51.420 --> 03:09:54.620
I think you might remember it when BZ went on to raise the trophy,

03:09:54.620 --> 03:09:57.260
and it was fronted by the man Canadian.

03:09:57.260 --> 03:10:00.460
And when he steps up in front of the home crowd like this,

03:10:00.460 --> 03:10:02.140
he tends to turn into a different beast.

03:10:02.140 --> 03:10:03.060
What do you think, Pops?

03:10:03.060 --> 03:10:04.900
I mean, I think something from Canadian that we all know

03:10:04.900 --> 03:10:07.420
and love is the passion that he's able to radiate.

03:10:07.420 --> 03:10:09.980
I mean, him screaming big, big, big, big, big, big, big.

03:10:09.980 --> 03:10:12.060
And something that he said in interviews before

03:10:12.060 --> 03:10:14.300
is that's not something that he's focused on too much.

03:10:14.300 --> 03:10:16.140
But whenever you're in front of an NA crowd,

03:10:16.140 --> 03:10:20.180
I hope that we're able to see that young 18-year-old Canadian.

03:10:20.180 --> 03:10:21.740
I mean, he's looking like a stand-up.

03:10:21.740 --> 03:10:22.620
Look at that line-up.

03:10:22.620 --> 03:10:23.700
Look at the crisp hairline.

03:10:23.700 --> 03:10:25.380
I mean, he's definitely turning back the years.

03:10:25.380 --> 03:10:28.900
I mean by far SR has one of the best rookies on the team, Canadian himself.

03:10:28.900 --> 03:10:30.500
Do you think he's still got it?

03:10:30.500 --> 03:10:31.500
Just turned 19.

03:10:31.500 --> 03:10:32.500
Do you think he's still got it?

03:10:32.500 --> 03:10:36.080
I think it's one of those things that when you look at SR, when you look at Canadian,

03:10:36.080 --> 03:10:39.540
you're not looking at him to still have it, still have kills, you're looking at him to

03:10:39.540 --> 03:10:40.540
be able to lead the team.

03:10:40.540 --> 03:10:44.340
When you look at the statistics, when it comes to cost, that's something that he's doing

03:10:44.340 --> 03:10:45.340
well.

03:10:45.340 --> 03:10:46.340
He's able to manage his team very well.

03:10:46.340 --> 03:10:50.140
And if they can keep getting those opening kills, then SR will be very comfortable.

03:10:50.140 --> 03:10:51.140
Absolutely.

03:10:51.140 --> 03:10:55.060
And I think that's an important note to take away here throughout the years and how much

03:10:55.060 --> 03:10:57.700
Troy in himself has evolved as a player. Sure, maybe he's not getting the

03:10:57.700 --> 03:11:00.820
frags, but he doesn't need to get the frags because he's surrounded by all-star

03:11:00.820 --> 03:11:03.940
players. And I'll say it's a big cause for concern if you see Troy at the top

03:11:03.940 --> 03:11:06.580
of the board, because clearly something is going wrong. But if you're seeing Troy

03:11:06.580 --> 03:11:10.220
going three and seven, two and five, whatever that is, that really is off the

03:11:10.220 --> 03:11:13.820
backing of him setting the rest of the team up and getting them into position

03:11:13.820 --> 03:11:17.580
to allow them to accept. Now we're saying if Canadians fragging and the rest of

03:11:17.580 --> 03:11:21.940
the team isn't, it's a bad sign. But if he's not fragging and the team is,

03:11:21.940 --> 03:11:22.940
That's a good sign.

03:11:22.940 --> 03:11:25.180
I mean, more often than not, that has been the case.

03:11:25.180 --> 03:11:27.900
So one issue was just in the phase game,

03:11:27.900 --> 03:11:29.340
where they got blown out of the water.

03:11:29.340 --> 03:11:30.220
The team was fragging.

03:11:30.220 --> 03:11:32.300
Canadian was on it, unfortunately.

03:11:32.300 --> 03:11:33.820
And the team just barely lost.

03:11:33.820 --> 03:11:36.140
And those are situations when you play against top tier

03:11:36.140 --> 03:11:37.700
competitors that they understand.

03:11:37.700 --> 03:11:41.660
If we can get that first pick, yes, it's a 4v5 on the roster.

03:11:41.660 --> 03:11:43.500
But at the same time, they're assuming.

03:11:43.500 --> 03:11:45.300
That's what phase was assuming, that Canadian

03:11:45.300 --> 03:11:47.980
is not necessarily going to be getting those trades back.

03:11:47.980 --> 03:11:49.820
Well, a lot of pressure is on his shoulders

03:11:49.820 --> 03:11:53.740
used a few pieces when they lose that opening kill to be able to win rounds back.

03:11:53.740 --> 03:11:57.500
I keep glancing at the on the screen down here and seeing what you guys are seeing at home

03:11:57.500 --> 03:12:01.900
and it still blows my mind for this day to see Shaiqa and G2 Jazzy. I'm loving it.

03:12:01.900 --> 03:12:03.580
Are you ready for Mat Vito's right now?

03:12:03.580 --> 03:12:04.300
I'm ready.

03:12:04.300 --> 03:12:07.420
All right let's do this for our second quarterfinal. Let's get stuck into it.

03:12:07.980 --> 03:12:12.700
I mean when you look at the map bands, both teams are arguably going to want to go to somewhere

03:12:12.700 --> 03:12:17.580
comfortable. G2's picking Bank. One of their better maps. It's a newer map for SR. We've only

03:12:17.580 --> 03:12:22.580
they've always seen them play it once so far into the tournament, they lost it, so they don't look that great on it.

03:12:22.580 --> 03:12:28.580
So it's a very obvious pick for G2. Then transitioning into CAFE, which is one of those maps that SR loved to play.

03:12:28.580 --> 03:12:34.580
They win and lose it sometimes. It's again, another small aggressive map that G2 can take advantage of.

03:12:34.580 --> 03:12:39.580
I mean, in both, in all three of these maps, you really have to be able to circumvent the map really well and play into those dynamics.

03:12:39.580 --> 03:12:44.580
But Lair is honestly the one that I'm looking at. I do expect us to get to a map 3, and that is the first preference for both of these teams.

03:12:44.580 --> 03:12:48.580
Now G2 does have a pretty hefty significant lead on it, 14 and 2 overall.

03:12:48.580 --> 03:12:53.580
But if you remember back in EWC 2025, SR would beat G2 in that matchup.

03:12:53.580 --> 03:12:57.580
But when you just even look in the past 180 days, the serving sample size of that,

03:12:57.580 --> 03:13:02.580
G2 has beaten FaZe, M80, twisted MVP most recently, and when you look at SR, they beat NIP.

03:13:02.580 --> 03:13:06.580
They beat M80, but they lost to one of them. They've lost to FaZe.

03:13:06.580 --> 03:13:10.580
And I would say that serving sample, if you're a G2 fan, you got to feel pretty comfortable going into that last match.

03:13:10.580 --> 03:13:13.580
I think SR's saving grace has to be the opening kills.

03:13:13.580 --> 03:13:15.580
When I look at Bank, when I look at G2,

03:13:15.580 --> 03:13:19.180
Doki roaming on the top floor, Stomp and Shiko roaming on the middle floor,

03:13:19.180 --> 03:13:21.780
that's something where SR is going to have to worry about it.

03:13:21.780 --> 03:13:24.480
If they can maintain that lead that they've been putting on

03:13:24.480 --> 03:13:27.780
throughout this event of getting that opening kill, they'll be looking good.

03:13:27.780 --> 03:13:31.780
I would say that's where both teams really have to be able to play their cards right here in this situation,

03:13:31.780 --> 03:13:34.280
being able to push and pull at any given moment,

03:13:34.280 --> 03:13:38.180
because both these teams, stylistically, they play and match up very well,

03:13:38.180 --> 03:13:40.680
so it's really going to be about who's countering,

03:13:40.680 --> 03:13:44.200
who's understanding when making your aggressive, how can you fall back, play off the layer,

03:13:44.200 --> 03:13:48.440
play off a teammate, play into your strengths and abuse the opponent's mistakes.

03:13:48.440 --> 03:13:52.680
Now just before getting here I actually did a road trip from Texas to Salt Lake City. You know

03:13:52.680 --> 03:13:58.360
else did? Stumping. How excited do you think he'll be to play in front of the home crowd here in the

03:13:58.360 --> 03:14:01.800
U.S.? I mean I think it's something where you're when you're playing in your home crowd every player

03:14:01.800 --> 03:14:06.680
that's experienced it has so much emotion for it. Obviously it means way more than just winning an

03:14:06.680 --> 03:14:10.360
event. You're winning somewhere in your hometown where people want to see you when they want to see

03:14:10.360 --> 03:14:14.120
You thrive and it's just a feeling like no other being able to hear that crowd

03:14:14.120 --> 03:14:17.220
Yeah, I was just about to say and a part of you is like a cheering for me

03:14:17.220 --> 03:14:21.540
I think it was a cheering thing and any stumping fans in the building

03:14:23.680 --> 03:14:30.160
So hold on hold on hold on. He's literally right behind there. Let me double check any stumping fans in the building

03:14:32.440 --> 03:14:38.320
See that's why he's gonna be here in any time he does anything clutch any time he makes a strong play and it does wonders for the

03:14:38.320 --> 03:14:41.840
So doesn't it yeah, absolutely and something that I didn't even get to mention in the beginning

03:14:41.840 --> 03:14:48.000
But the way that something plays it really allows the rest of his team to make a cute a few mistakes because he's able to pick up

03:14:48.000 --> 03:14:53.000
That way he's able to carry it through once you get into those later rounds, but I mean even on the side of you know

03:14:53.000 --> 03:14:56.280
Sports side, I mean he can make rounds happen out of thin air as well

03:14:56.280 --> 03:15:01.800
I mean I'm gonna be watching both these teams very meticulously and see how well that they're putting their players

03:15:01.960 --> 03:15:06.600
Putting their team in winning position. I think at the end of the day, we're going to see a lot of clips

03:15:06.600 --> 03:15:08.600
We're going to see a lot of one

03:15:08.760 --> 03:15:11.640
Yeah, so that's what I'm looking forward to the most is a show

03:15:11.760 --> 03:15:18.240
How star studded are these two rosters that we haven't even done a true deep dive on shite go yet?

03:15:18.240 --> 03:15:21.000
Who may consider one of the greatest players of all time?

03:15:21.080 --> 03:15:24.720
How much do you think he needs to step up and show what he can do on a main stage again?

03:15:24.720 --> 03:15:26.400
I think it's very important

03:15:26.400 --> 03:15:30.240
I think there's always been that conversation when you look to BDS when you look to Falcons

03:15:30.360 --> 03:15:34.840
Where does shite go go when it comes to these finals and he has the potential to be one of the greats

03:15:34.840 --> 03:15:39.720
He has the potential to win these tournaments, but we need to see it happen at an official major event.

03:15:39.720 --> 03:15:44.200
I was just saying, I think you also have to look in the aspect of where he was on BDS Falcons

03:15:44.200 --> 03:15:49.960
and that chemistry and where it is on G2. I would say G2 is far more relaxed, far more friendship-oriented.

03:15:49.960 --> 03:15:53.640
Not to say that Falcons aren't, but in order to get over a mental block and a hurdle,

03:15:53.640 --> 03:15:58.840
because Shiko's been here numerous times where we've seen him one inch away from getting a championship

03:15:58.840 --> 03:16:02.920
on any development, a major or world championship, now that pressure just doesn't seem like it's there

03:16:02.920 --> 03:16:04.920
there on the scene. I mean, it's the most I've ever seen him

03:16:04.920 --> 03:16:07.720
smile. So most I've ever seen him talk throughout my career in

03:16:07.720 --> 03:16:11.620
time. So obviously, things are working out very well on the

03:16:11.620 --> 03:16:13.520
side of I think that's a great point to because on those

03:16:13.520 --> 03:16:16.120
previous rosters that Shaco's been on a lot of the pressure

03:16:16.120 --> 03:16:19.320
falls on the absolutely be the one to be the saving grace. And

03:16:19.320 --> 03:16:22.820
now he's on the team with better players. So to say players

03:16:22.820 --> 03:16:25.120
that you can also share that burden. And at the end of the

03:16:25.120 --> 03:16:27.320
day, if you're G2 and something goes wrong, you could just

03:16:27.320 --> 03:16:31.720
blame Alamow. Do you not think there's there is still pressure

03:16:31.720 --> 03:16:35.600
on him though because he can draw in as a star player to help

03:16:35.600 --> 03:16:38.320
this team get back to winning ways and winning some silverware.

03:16:38.320 --> 03:16:39.160
But he is on.

03:16:39.160 --> 03:16:39.920
Yeah, I mean, absolutely.

03:16:39.920 --> 03:16:41.280
I mean, whenever you make a roster change,

03:16:41.280 --> 03:16:43.120
doesn't matter whether it's Gelen really well

03:16:43.120 --> 03:16:44.440
or it's taking a little bit of time.

03:16:44.440 --> 03:16:46.800
I mean, Shiko has always had the spotlight on him.

03:16:46.800 --> 03:16:49.480
And of course, when you make that transition to a brand new team,

03:16:49.480 --> 03:16:51.480
obviously you still want to be that star-studded player

03:16:51.480 --> 03:16:52.360
that you've always been.

03:16:52.360 --> 03:16:53.960
So the pressure is still always going

03:16:53.960 --> 03:16:56.040
to be there as a player of wine to perform,

03:16:56.040 --> 03:16:57.600
to keep your reputation high.

03:16:57.600 --> 03:17:00.960
But it's just, again, you have to look back on all the positives

03:17:00.960 --> 03:17:03.520
Now that come with G2, it's just surrounding yourself

03:17:03.520 --> 03:17:05.440
with better friends, a better environment,

03:17:05.440 --> 03:17:08.000
which naturally should just instill that momentum

03:17:08.000 --> 03:17:10.160
into his play, make him more confident,

03:17:10.160 --> 03:17:12.240
feel like he can take more risks and gambles

03:17:12.240 --> 03:17:14.040
without maybe someone yelling him like,

03:17:14.040 --> 03:17:16.000
Licky Fat getting angry, you've seen angry.

03:17:16.000 --> 03:17:17.480
You know, we've seen Licky Fat a couple of times

03:17:17.480 --> 03:17:19.120
in those mid-round comms yelling.

03:17:19.120 --> 03:17:22.240
But again, I think just the whole dynamic and atmosphere

03:17:22.240 --> 03:17:23.840
for Shiko to be around and surrounded,

03:17:23.840 --> 03:17:26.240
supported by this G2, whether it's Rosser,

03:17:26.240 --> 03:17:28.200
whether it's the fans, I just think overall,

03:17:28.200 --> 03:17:29.960
it's a great environment that he's found himself

03:17:29.960 --> 03:17:42.960
And sometimes, you know, if you're going through some of the losses that they went through collectively as a team in Balkans, the grand final losses, the close calls, it must feel like quite a relief to put that jersey in the rearview mirror a little bit.

03:17:42.960 --> 03:17:47.960
Sometimes you need a roster change. Sometimes you need a change of scenery, a change in environment.

03:17:47.960 --> 03:17:57.960
Gladly for Shiko, he was able to get it onto one of the best teams in the EML, if not the best team. And so now he's in a situation where all of those losses, all of those situations.

03:17:57.960 --> 03:18:00.760
I mean, if he comes here, he lifts the trophy in Salt Lake City.

03:18:00.760 --> 03:18:04.200
It makes it that much sweeter that you're able to really think back and be like,

03:18:04.200 --> 03:18:07.560
nah, it wasn't my fault. I wasn't losing with Falcons because of me.

03:18:07.560 --> 03:18:10.840
So it really makes things that much better for G2.

03:18:10.840 --> 03:18:12.840
Look, we've been yapping, yapping, yapping non-stop.

03:18:12.840 --> 03:18:14.280
Yes, I'm taking it. Who's taking it?

03:18:15.000 --> 03:18:16.920
I'm gonna go with the hometown heroes of SR.

03:18:18.120 --> 03:18:19.560
That's crazy. I guess I'm gonna go with G2.

03:18:19.560 --> 03:18:21.160
I think the crowd's with me on that as well.

03:18:21.160 --> 03:18:22.680
I'm gonna go with Stomp in.

03:18:22.680 --> 03:18:25.880
All right. Let's get into the second quarterfinal.

03:18:27.960 --> 03:18:37.160
Once again, we stepped into the darkness.

03:18:37.160 --> 03:18:42.880
We already know one of our teams that have managed to secure that spot in the semi-final,

03:18:42.880 --> 03:18:45.240
who will be next to join them.

03:18:45.240 --> 03:18:47.240
Welcome team number one.

03:19:15.240 --> 03:19:22.240
Welcome to the European Heavyweights!

03:19:22.240 --> 03:19:36.240
Drop just one map in Swiss, we'll still look every bit!

03:19:36.240 --> 03:19:44.240
The Perennial Contenders ready to remind the world why they are always in the conversation.

03:19:44.240 --> 03:19:50.600
This is their chance to turn star power into silverware once again

03:19:58.120 --> 03:20:00.800
Please welcome their opponents

03:20:44.240 --> 03:20:51.240
North America's most aggressive rebuild is clicking at the perfect time.

03:20:51.240 --> 03:20:57.240
Delivering pretty comebacks and math control masterclasses all week.

03:20:57.240 --> 03:21:04.240
They're here to crash the party and show the world that NA is back for real.

03:21:14.240 --> 03:21:39.600
two very familiar faces when it comes to Rainbow Six Siege here up on the main stage. I love

03:21:39.600 --> 03:21:45.760
having legends up here. Jocke, I'm going to come to you first. Is this the best version

03:21:45.760 --> 03:21:48.600
of G2? And how are you going to prove that here?

03:21:48.600 --> 03:21:53.200
Ah yeah, I mean, absolutely. We brought something in. We were guys' hometown favourite last year.

03:21:53.200 --> 03:21:56.700
It's the best player in the world. And then we thought we'd bring in a second best player

03:21:56.700 --> 03:22:00.280
in the world, Shrykel, to help him out. And then we thought we'd bring the third best

03:22:00.280 --> 03:22:05.600
player in the world, Benjamaster, to help him out. And then you've got me and Carl, so.

03:22:05.600 --> 03:22:13.360
Canadian, you love NNA crowds and I look to see you in front of them. How exciting it's again.

03:22:14.400 --> 03:22:16.720
Very, it's been a minute since I've been in front of a crowd.

03:22:18.080 --> 03:22:22.880
Yeah, excited to be back. A lot of people here, honestly. I'm so excited to feel the energy again.

03:22:23.680 --> 03:22:25.120
Let's play some good seed, yeah.

03:22:28.320 --> 03:22:31.280
I love that. Any last words for each other? I haven't had that in a while.

03:22:31.280 --> 03:22:34.360
I'm ready, bro.

03:22:34.360 --> 03:22:37.120
Guys, handshake, go and take your seats.

03:22:37.120 --> 03:22:39.000
Best of luck to both of you.

03:22:39.000 --> 03:22:41.040
Listen, I just want to give a quick shout out to the crowd

03:22:41.040 --> 03:22:41.540
here.

03:22:41.540 --> 03:22:44.400
You guys have shown up nice and early on this Friday.

03:22:44.400 --> 03:22:46.160
I want to make some noise together.

03:22:46.160 --> 03:22:48.600
What do you think?

03:22:48.600 --> 03:22:50.320
That's what I'm talking about.

03:22:50.320 --> 03:22:51.640
All right.

03:22:51.640 --> 03:22:55.840
Hey, Salt Lake City, who's taking this first quarter final?

03:22:55.840 --> 03:22:57.000
Is it going to be G2?

03:22:57.000 --> 03:23:10.200
I love it in there crowds. How about shopper firebell? Yeah. How is it only Friday? This

03:23:10.200 --> 03:23:15.440
is what we love about Rambo six and it's time to get into our second quarterfinal right

03:23:15.440 --> 03:23:22.240
now with crow and fellow taking away boys. Thank you so much Ian John. This is our time.

03:23:22.240 --> 03:23:26.280
This is the first time we've ever been in front of a crowd and what a match to do shopper

03:23:26.280 --> 03:23:41.040
the last time these two teams have played. Shabify have been 2-0 and 1-0 in a best of

03:23:41.040 --> 03:23:42.040
one.

03:23:42.040 --> 03:23:47.200
And one of those maps is while Harrison being on layer or decider if we get to a third and

03:23:47.200 --> 03:23:53.480
final map in this best of three series Harrison everything is on the line for these two teams

03:23:53.480 --> 03:23:55.960
securing class top eight.

03:23:55.960 --> 03:24:00.520
In terms of how both these teams like to play, I'm a really big fan of these multi-layered

03:24:00.520 --> 03:24:05.240
maps, going to bank, going to cafe, having layers as our decider, it's going to be a

03:24:05.240 --> 03:24:06.920
lot of fun today here.

03:24:06.920 --> 03:24:12.360
So we've seen the explosivity of G2, everyone on that team being positive in the entry and

03:24:12.360 --> 03:24:16.960
the KD department and Shopify Rebellion, a much slower and more methodical team, but

03:24:16.960 --> 03:24:21.800
they still have their stars so the players, specifically being the highest rated player

03:24:21.800 --> 03:24:28.100
At the event currently, there's a lot between these two teams in both history and how well they've been playing in Utah.

03:24:28.100 --> 03:24:32.100
Yeah, he and Surf actually both in the top 10, so is Stompin.

03:24:32.100 --> 03:24:37.200
I believe Shiko, Doki, and Ambi though are not far behind just outside of the top 10.

03:24:37.200 --> 03:24:42.200
Now, I know Ian already grilled the crowd about who they think is going to win, right? G2 or Shopify.

03:24:42.200 --> 03:24:45.200
There is a secret mysterious third option though.

03:24:45.200 --> 03:24:48.400
I don't know how many Brazilian fans we have in the crowd right now.

03:24:48.400 --> 03:24:55.100
Who thinks that whoever wins this game, not gonna really matter because FaZe are gonna win this event anyway.

03:24:56.900 --> 03:25:01.100
Oh, we gotta get mixed! We gotta get mixed!

03:25:01.100 --> 03:25:04.800
Starting off on the wrong foot with an NA crowdhairs and I might have been in a troll.

03:25:04.800 --> 03:25:07.400
I had to ask, they're back to back camps for a reason.

03:25:07.400 --> 03:25:12.200
That's true. Both these teams having plenty of history as well against FaZe.

03:25:12.200 --> 03:25:16.600
I didn't mention G2's style of play and being very aggressive towards that initial entry.

03:25:16.600 --> 03:25:18.160
They love playing the solid snake.

03:25:18.160 --> 03:25:19.880
They love playing the demos.

03:25:19.880 --> 03:25:22.200
Having Benja and Shiko on this team

03:25:22.200 --> 03:25:25.680
have allowed for such great fluidity towards the late round.

03:25:25.680 --> 03:25:27.320
That's where Stompin's been coming into play

03:25:27.320 --> 03:25:29.680
on those support roles, hitting a gap,

03:25:29.680 --> 03:25:32.360
finding multiple picks to secure a plant for that team.

03:25:32.360 --> 03:25:34.320
Their attacks have looked amazing.

03:25:34.320 --> 03:25:37.000
But the same thing can be said for Shopify Rebellion,

03:25:37.000 --> 03:25:39.520
but instead of that explosive start with the entry department,

03:25:39.520 --> 03:25:42.280
a lot of it works off of Canadian on the shield.

03:25:42.280 --> 03:25:45.360
His three most picked operators this event

03:25:45.360 --> 03:26:02.760
I've been all three attacking shields, the Blitz, the Blackbeard, the Montaigne, getting that info, getting that map control as early as physically possible, being that spearhead to let your gunners do the work to establish a late round advantage, that's what they need, starting on the attacking half of bank.

03:26:02.760 --> 03:26:07.000
Well, a lot of mistakes can happen in that first minute if you don't have the right information

03:26:07.000 --> 03:26:12.040
If you don't have the right positions to work off of one another a lock can fail when you're trying to you know

03:26:12.040 --> 03:26:17.100
Do what Goyle packs smoke grenades to Chaka Shamiko launchers on a basement attack

03:26:17.660 --> 03:26:24.560
Yeah, and I think too. This is gonna be a big big kind of ego match for Shopify rebellion, right on the side of G2

03:26:25.000 --> 03:26:31.800
Stopping he's had a lot of success with this roster. The other four have been there done that Shaco has numerous SI and major finals

03:26:31.800 --> 03:26:36.240
Of course, Alamo, Benja, and Doki have a six-invitational win.

03:26:36.240 --> 03:26:40.440
Shopify Rebellion have never broken into the semifinals.

03:26:41.440 --> 03:26:43.040
This could be their best shot at it.

03:26:43.040 --> 03:26:46.200
They've looked really consistent overall in the Swiss stage,

03:26:46.200 --> 03:26:49.880
now moving it into phase three with a crowd behind themselves

03:26:49.880 --> 03:26:51.640
for their own support.

03:26:52.440 --> 03:26:54.440
I really want to briefly touch up on Lair as well,

03:26:54.440 --> 03:26:56.680
a very interesting map for both these teams.

03:26:56.680 --> 03:26:58.240
Laxing mentioned it earlier.

03:26:58.240 --> 03:27:01.120
The near flawless record G2 has had on Lair

03:27:01.120 --> 03:27:07.520
being 14 and 2. One of those two teams to ever beat them was Shopify Rebellion in the EWC.

03:27:07.520 --> 03:27:11.440
You got to cast that game and I even got to interview Canadian during that matchup as well.

03:27:11.440 --> 03:27:18.080
It would be really interesting to have this go to a third map. G2 the social prediction leader

03:27:18.080 --> 03:27:22.960
of this game. Guys, do we agree with that? Does the crowd agree? Well, no one cares.

03:27:22.960 --> 03:27:34.960
All right. Oh my God. Thank you guys. You got donor walls live. That's crazy. All right. All good. Now, like you said, right?

03:27:34.960 --> 03:27:45.960
That last time they played there with Shopify rebellion one, you know, I think a big reason why they won is that Canadian actually had a really big performance for Shopify rebellion, both laxing and Foxy brought this up on the desk, right?

03:27:45.960 --> 03:27:50.440
Laxing argued, you know what, if everyone else on Shopify Rebellion is fragging out,

03:27:50.440 --> 03:27:53.640
Canadian can be 0-8 as long as the plans are working in Foxe.

03:27:53.640 --> 03:27:55.160
Kind of argued against that, right?

03:27:55.160 --> 03:27:57.720
You need your support player to sometimes find those frags,

03:27:57.720 --> 03:28:02.840
because as a famous man once said, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

03:28:02.840 --> 03:28:07.880
I think Shopify are going to need Canadian to maybe not go huge,

03:28:07.880 --> 03:28:10.120
but at least not go 0-4 against a team like G2.

03:28:10.120 --> 03:28:21.200
First round of play it'll be open area and stage for G2's defense. Overall fairly normal

03:28:21.200 --> 03:28:25.060
bans for each team you've got grim a lot of that mid to late round information clearing

03:28:25.060 --> 03:28:30.240
out power spots can be a bit more complex for them. Montane as well kind of a similar

03:28:30.240 --> 03:28:34.680
facet to that a lot of earlier on information you can make space because it's very hard

03:28:34.680 --> 03:28:39.040
to counter that fully extended shield whereas Rebellia on their attack they do not want

03:28:39.040 --> 03:28:42.880
to be stalled when you're getting the main breach opened up on top floor sites like CEO

03:28:42.880 --> 03:28:47.520
against that K dealing with hatches is now a million times easier because the lack of

03:28:47.520 --> 03:28:53.840
a Zodo canister and again the K clause we've already discussed G2 on a very heavy roam

03:28:53.840 --> 03:28:57.880
tons of information with the help of Doki on the solace, Benja playing Valkyrie with

03:28:57.880 --> 03:29:02.640
those black eye cameras and the mobility of Alamow on the Oryx and operator that is rarely

03:29:02.640 --> 03:29:06.880
seen nowadays but in a large map such as bank being able to hop in through those hatches

03:29:06.880 --> 03:29:11.440
can be very convenient in the right position. I think not only a big map like Bank but also

03:29:11.440 --> 03:29:16.480
knowing that Shopify or not specifically Canadian love those shields. Doki and Inkling that

03:29:16.480 --> 03:29:20.800
surf might be approaching his position just pops the gas canister and backs away to live

03:29:20.800 --> 03:29:26.080
and fight another day. Like you mentioned, Bank is a massive map. It's kind of the three

03:29:27.520 --> 03:29:32.560
maps having common is their size. Cafe maybe not as quite as horizontal as Bank and Lair,

03:29:32.560 --> 03:29:35.600
But Ambie already sneaking it on the nook, a pick on the Alamo,

03:29:35.600 --> 03:29:37.080
a very fast follow-up.

03:29:37.080 --> 03:29:39.920
And we mentioned how quickly both of these teams can be,

03:29:39.920 --> 03:29:41.000
and we've already got three kills.

03:29:41.000 --> 03:29:42.160
It hasn't even been a minute.

03:29:42.160 --> 03:29:43.800
Ambie spotting a gap on that nook.

03:29:43.800 --> 03:29:45.400
Huge entry pick.

03:29:45.400 --> 03:29:47.800
Spoigt going one for one as well, still making space,

03:29:47.800 --> 03:29:51.200
getting rid of the Oryx again, the most mobile operator

03:29:51.200 --> 03:29:52.160
in the game.

03:29:52.160 --> 03:29:54.640
But G2 are aware of the reposition from base,

03:29:54.640 --> 03:29:57.840
with Doki opening up this hatch, maybe looking in contest.

03:29:57.840 --> 03:29:59.720
But instead, go through square.

03:29:59.720 --> 03:30:01.360
You can maybe use that solo scanner

03:30:01.360 --> 03:30:07.720
Detect when and where this plant is going down to stop it again Shopify rebellion a very plant focused team

03:30:07.720 --> 03:30:13.720
So still having that insurance policy later on is going to be massive and Doki retaking that top floor could be huge

03:30:13.960 --> 03:30:20.120
Depending on where Shopify rebellion start to play remember not all of open area is destructible from above

03:30:20.320 --> 03:30:26.540
Doki spears this player on the rappel in comes rexon and it is an easy pick up for the soul is just before that though

03:30:26.540 --> 03:30:32.560
Canadian finds himself on the board actually finishing I believe the down from Ambi as now the nook is on the floor to

03:30:33.080 --> 03:30:39.980
Surve inside the bombsite gets quickly felled by the wonder kid now at two versus two as Ambi has been revived by Canadian

03:30:39.980 --> 03:30:46.520
But both attackers find themselves outside the bombsite Doki looking to maybe flank him through tellers as stop and holds on to beepers a minute left

03:30:47.020 --> 03:30:51.740
Canadian trying to force this issue here comes the peak stop and just narrowly avoids the DMR

03:30:51.740 --> 03:30:55.180
50 seconds left to go now to two versus two.

03:30:55.180 --> 03:30:57.260
Ami still having those frag grenades.

03:30:57.260 --> 03:31:00.020
The smoke as well for Canadian clearing off

03:31:00.020 --> 03:31:02.740
his longer angle that Stompin now tries to hold.

03:31:02.740 --> 03:31:04.700
He's expecting someone from that hatch upstairs

03:31:04.700 --> 03:31:06.980
and he's got a C4 prep for it perhaps.

03:31:06.980 --> 03:31:09.020
That's where Canadian will rotate exactly as well.

03:31:09.020 --> 03:31:11.940
It's still plenty of time to potentially attempt this plant

03:31:11.940 --> 03:31:13.220
but again, Stompin's ready.

03:31:13.220 --> 03:31:16.020
He could maybe land this nitrous cell to save the round.

03:31:16.020 --> 03:31:16.980
He hasn't had that prep just yet

03:31:16.980 --> 03:31:19.500
but Ami finds Doki on that teller's flank.

03:31:19.500 --> 03:31:20.340
Free for him.

03:31:20.340 --> 03:31:21.180
The drop comes in.

03:31:21.180 --> 03:31:26.240
This is the shots and now Canadian is in a position to plant with ambi to cover down goes the diffuser

03:31:26.660 --> 03:31:30.060
Halfway through now stomping likely does not have an angle to use his C4

03:31:30.060 --> 03:31:32.840
He knows this is gonna come down to the gunfights plant now completed

03:31:33.340 --> 03:31:38.400
Canadian can start to back off you see the nook already retreating leaving his IGL to try and fend for himself

03:31:38.400 --> 03:31:45.020
So the nook can take the advantage upstairs and Canadian even gets out and now this is a difficult proposition for stomp

03:31:45.020 --> 03:31:48.900
And he sees the case, but he knows the hatch is open. This should be a losing round

03:31:48.900 --> 03:31:51.500
It is an easy clean up for ambi.

03:31:51.500 --> 03:31:55.500
Shopify Rebellion's star rookie starts the game with four kills.

03:31:55.500 --> 03:32:00.800
And a fantastic entry for the Nukes while seeing a lack of defender presence.

03:32:00.800 --> 03:32:03.700
From lobby sneaks in, gets an opening pick,

03:32:03.700 --> 03:32:08.100
his team following suit shortly after with spoit going one for one on the demos.

03:32:08.100 --> 03:32:10.700
That sets the tempo early for Shopify.

03:32:10.700 --> 03:32:13.800
They can go for a reset, take their time to gather more info

03:32:13.800 --> 03:32:17.700
and figure out where these last defenders are before committing for a plant.

03:32:17.700 --> 03:32:26.120
That Aethel late round really helped Shopify and allowed Cading to walk back upstairs and play the open hatch for a plant off his smoke grenades.

03:32:26.120 --> 03:32:31.120
And Ambi winning that critical one-for-one fight towards the end of the round, putting Stompin in a one versus two.

03:32:31.120 --> 03:32:33.260
He's too far away to use that nitro cell.

03:32:33.260 --> 03:32:37.280
He's too low on HP to directly challenge Ambi with out enough information from his team.

03:32:37.280 --> 03:32:47.380
Solidify and Rebellion start their bank attack on the right foot, as now we start, I believe, in the basement for G2's second round with

03:32:47.380 --> 03:32:54.880
A fairly similar lineup, except this time they've got Stompin on the smoke for a little more delay towards that potential plant from default by CC.

03:32:54.880 --> 03:33:06.380
Yeah, that tends to be what the basement site comes down to, is just a soak of utility, how much can the attackers bait out from the defense before they really need to just go for the push with little time remaining.

03:33:06.380 --> 03:33:10.580
Shopify Rebellion have tons of information, those Snake, Deimos, Lyon.

03:33:10.580 --> 03:33:13.780
I imagine one or two players are going to attempt to push in from that garage side.

03:33:13.780 --> 03:33:17.380
They're likely to try and clear out this roam that's set up an open area as well.

03:33:19.180 --> 03:33:20.280
I do like the adjustment.

03:33:20.280 --> 03:33:23.080
Again, you've got more of the map to clear out for Shopify Rebellion.

03:33:23.080 --> 03:33:24.080
So what is your response?

03:33:24.080 --> 03:33:26.280
Bringing extra information out.

03:33:26.280 --> 03:33:30.280
You've got Lyon maybe denying the potential of a trade from G2

03:33:30.280 --> 03:33:31.880
if they're playing close by on the roam.

03:33:31.880 --> 03:33:37.600
once again on that demo. So great clearing operator, deathmark trackers in that two-shot pistol.

03:33:37.600 --> 03:33:41.880
And now, Ambi, on the snake, you can still play a lot by yourself with your scanner,

03:33:41.880 --> 03:33:45.400
but just have more information in your notes, for example, like we saw last round.

03:33:45.400 --> 03:33:50.120
Speaking of that info, another gap potentially for Shopify is Rexton's already deepened garage.

03:33:50.120 --> 03:33:53.880
And Ambi, a second entry kill in a row through this series.

03:33:53.880 --> 03:33:59.760
Five and 0 now as he starts to pick on the Benjamin Astor, one of those crucial mid-floor roamers for G2.

03:33:59.760 --> 03:34:05.360
There may be a trend trade attempts coming in from Doki. He spotted and they just narrowing these misses the rotate

03:34:05.920 --> 03:34:10.640
Attempted reengaged from Doki the attempts to bait out the angle with the impact and be though expect

03:34:11.680 --> 03:34:14.960
Another kill for the snake right now. He is unstoppable

03:34:16.240 --> 03:34:18.720
And now a rebellion once again two trades

03:34:19.280 --> 03:34:25.520
Uncontested by G2 have a two-man lead and another lot lion scan to force back

03:34:25.520 --> 03:34:30.540
G2 it might be Alan out trying to commit his life here working for a pick because at this point Harrison

03:34:30.680 --> 03:34:34.280
G2's plan was to live off of this room to waste as much time as possible

03:34:34.460 --> 03:34:36.520
They've only got the smoke to play in precise

03:34:36.520 --> 03:34:41.740
They have to take these gunfights and win them the rebellion remain gun up and now have a three-man lead

03:34:41.960 --> 03:34:46.720
Stopping trying to work a pick marble stairs will get forced back by the nade flashbangs coming out as well

03:34:46.880 --> 03:34:50.000
Forcing him back to main stairs almost gets caught by the player that's

03:34:50.000 --> 03:34:52.840
This one on the shot, and Rexon cuts two down!

03:34:52.840 --> 03:34:54.960
His lurk from Garage works for two picks.

03:34:54.960 --> 03:34:56.960
It's flawlessly done by the Rebellion.

03:35:00.120 --> 03:35:02.240
The patience there from Rexon,

03:35:02.240 --> 03:35:04.440
waiting for his team to walk down Marble.

03:35:04.440 --> 03:35:07.440
G2 had no idea what just hit them.

03:35:07.440 --> 03:35:09.440
Closing the round flawlessly,

03:35:09.440 --> 03:35:12.520
and an early time out for G2 to close this.

03:35:12.520 --> 03:35:14.680
Back to the back, like I want to change the angle.

03:35:14.680 --> 03:35:17.120
Like if it's not from now on,

03:35:17.120 --> 03:35:18.840
we'll stay on the back for like a few seconds.

03:35:48.840 --> 03:35:49.960
I'm not feeling this good, boys.

03:35:49.960 --> 03:35:51.660
That's been about as long as I'm on the floor.

03:35:51.660 --> 03:35:52.660
I'm fine.

03:35:52.660 --> 03:35:53.660
It's okay.

03:35:53.660 --> 03:35:54.660
It's okay.

03:35:54.660 --> 03:35:55.660
It's okay.

03:35:55.660 --> 03:35:56.660
Go.

03:35:56.660 --> 03:36:03.700
Now, Romario was talking much too quickly for me to pick up most of that, but I understood.

03:36:03.700 --> 03:36:05.060
They wanted them to ban Capitao.

03:36:05.060 --> 03:36:07.180
Shop of Firebelli intend to use that operator a lot.

03:36:07.180 --> 03:36:10.460
We usually see someone like Rexon or even Ambi on him.

03:36:10.460 --> 03:36:14.460
They have someone who's goal is to die on blue stairs once they rotate down to the bottom

03:36:14.460 --> 03:36:15.460
floor objective.

03:36:15.460 --> 03:36:25.220
but first it is top floor for G2, one of the least popular main sites in the game just because that window presence can be so so

03:36:25.480 --> 03:36:31.020
oppressive from both the north propel and outside lobby G2 though picking up the clash

03:36:31.280 --> 03:36:36.600
Stompin is gonna work likely in that soda hallway trying to force Shopify rebellion

03:36:37.160 --> 03:36:39.780
Not be able to take control of stock and push Janniter

03:36:39.780 --> 03:36:48.580
A lineup change for Rebellion as well, maybe noticing the clash, noticing the Azami and

03:36:48.580 --> 03:36:54.780
Aruni, so much utility to stop a Windorapel execute on CEO, so what they're going for

03:36:54.780 --> 03:36:59.220
instead, they still have the ring, Harbury to Habana, that can help assist opening the

03:36:59.220 --> 03:37:03.740
elevator wall up, that then gives breathing room for Canadian to walk up Marble, a majority

03:37:03.740 --> 03:37:08.220
of these players starting on the ATM side of the map, this could be just another lobby

03:37:08.220 --> 03:37:13.260
focus clear for rebellion and using the Jogity Lodge Bomb calls. Maybe Rens on the,

03:37:13.900 --> 03:37:18.780
Rexon on the sends as well to create space for those ROUs. It could be a direct push

03:37:18.780 --> 03:37:24.460
from that side of the map rather than a top square and repel execute that you tend to see for CEO.

03:37:25.100 --> 03:37:30.780
Ambius well already getting garage control lurking his way up marble, a good cut-off position to have

03:37:30.780 --> 03:37:35.900
but there is barbed wire on that staircase I believe to make sure that if he tries to get space,

03:37:35.900 --> 03:37:37.900
G2 will be aware of it.

03:37:41.340 --> 03:37:43.340
Someone droning ambi's way in.

03:37:44.620 --> 03:37:49.940
Again, seeing the barbed wire, seeing that there is a player at the top of these stairs to the asami of Shaiiko.

03:37:49.940 --> 03:37:56.240
Stompin also playing an E3 for a potential crossfires. Ambi, maybe just sits and baits for a rotation.

03:37:56.820 --> 03:38:02.600
Surf looking to maybe hug this soulless from below. Shopify Rebellion should now have all of first floor cleared out.

03:38:02.600 --> 03:38:05.960
They know that Doki is playing on site currently not for the plan though

03:38:05.960 --> 03:38:14.040
He could very easily rotate downstairs later on all of Shopify rebellion with the exception of him be currently just outside on their appels

03:38:14.040 --> 03:38:16.440
Surf again hunting down below to

03:38:17.720 --> 03:38:20.960
We're halfway through the round. This is the longest we've gotten so far

03:38:22.240 --> 03:38:28.600
It's that slow and methodical approach we shot the fire belly and they've got the map control to compensate for the time spent in this round

03:38:28.600 --> 03:38:37.000
Rexon as well. Playing up by the CEO window. Got those RUs again cutting off massive sight lines for G2 when we see this marble taken

03:38:37.000 --> 03:38:44.400
Nate paused out from surf as well. Clearing a corner, one of the only spots in the map you can't get vertical from downstairs in the entry.

03:38:44.400 --> 03:38:51.600
A third time in a row off that vert downstairs in the map control. It pays dividends as the Solus is the first to be gone.

03:38:51.600 --> 03:38:55.000
Serp taking out the Solus, it's huge Doki.

03:38:55.000 --> 03:38:58.560
No longer with the Solus, they can no longer rotate down below to have free info on the

03:38:58.560 --> 03:39:01.800
plant but as Serp tries to end the building, he's cut down by Bender, instantly traded

03:39:01.800 --> 03:39:02.800
by Spoy.

03:39:02.800 --> 03:39:03.800
Here's the lurker, and he's successful!

03:39:03.800 --> 03:39:08.800
On to Shaco, a 4-2 lead for Shopify Rebellion, here's the Blitz, close on the smoke, Alamauk

03:39:08.800 --> 03:39:09.800
can do nothing!

03:39:09.800 --> 03:39:15.280
And it's almost a stop in on the clash, he takes down Ambi but Spoy still outside, cuts

03:39:15.280 --> 03:39:17.880
him down, it's 3 in a row for the Rebellion.

03:39:17.880 --> 03:39:24.680
And despite the timeout, Shopify still look flawless in this attack.

03:39:24.680 --> 03:39:26.640
Immediate map control from ambi Bottom Garage.

03:39:26.640 --> 03:39:30.520
He gets through marble, there's a drone to assist him as well, and he doesn't overplay

03:39:30.520 --> 03:39:31.520
his cards.

03:39:31.520 --> 03:39:35.600
He waits for his teammates to start applying pressure downstairs, waiting for surf to get

03:39:35.600 --> 03:39:40.080
that entry, waiting for Rexon and the Habana to assist, applying pressure in from those

03:39:40.080 --> 03:39:41.080
site windows.

03:39:41.080 --> 03:39:47.800
And Canadian to get ready to push up marble, a perfect 3-2-1 coordinated attack for Shopify

03:39:47.800 --> 03:39:55.800
And it all worked in sync. G2 still no response yet in this first half as they now go back down to the basement of lockers in CCTV

03:39:55.800 --> 03:40:01.800
With more emphasis on the plant and I'll leave with Alamow. Now on Echo and the Warden.

03:40:01.800 --> 03:40:05.800
That was crazy. I didn't even know that until we saw the replay.

03:40:05.800 --> 03:40:12.800
I thought it was like a slide outside. That is ridiculous, but one thing I wanted to add is while Stockin now on the Warden

03:40:12.800 --> 03:40:19.120
Warden maybe they're expecting Shopify to focus more towards a CCTV execute, which we haven't seen from them

03:40:19.240 --> 03:40:25.080
Maybe he can bunker himself up inside of when scared to use that shotgun to be a real force to be reckoned with

03:40:25.080 --> 03:40:27.080
But you know have to wait and see as they're still setting up

03:40:27.440 --> 03:40:32.400
So anything else again the desk really highlighted players like stomp in and spoi

03:40:33.160 --> 03:40:36.040
What about ambi ambi's eight and oh right now?

03:40:36.040 --> 03:40:41.560
Yeah, that's great rounds getting a 4k in the first round two picks on the entry

03:40:41.560 --> 03:40:48.860
Despite being pressured out by multiple players in tellers and then working that lurk main stairs in the previous round now

03:40:48.860 --> 03:40:52.900
We see where I gather the most from that time out from G2 the basement site

03:40:52.900 --> 03:40:58.200
They're playing the echo they ban the capitao so shock fire rebellions execute is not gonna be quite as utility heavy

03:40:58.200 --> 03:41:04.000
They're not gonna have to worry about the firebolts stopping them from rotating in by red benjaminster spots the blitz

03:41:04.200 --> 03:41:06.840
Barrowing his way through printer and gets the hell out of it

03:41:06.840 --> 03:41:14.440
At least they cleared the roam out rather early, but again off of G2's lineup it looks like they don't want to prioritize

03:41:14.880 --> 03:41:17.120
spending time upstairs to work for kills

03:41:17.120 --> 03:41:22.640
They just want to burn a couple of seconds maybe get rid of a few drones for that late round and play off their resources

03:41:22.960 --> 03:41:27.960
Bundled up in sight the only one that continues to linger upstairs is Shiko by elevators

03:41:27.960 --> 03:41:30.300
But again that hatch has opened up right beside him

03:41:30.300 --> 03:41:34.080
He can fall off at any given moment if he feels too much pressure is applied to him

03:41:34.080 --> 03:41:40.120
And here comes canadian trying to run through marble, but instead it's to hunt down the fenrear, but still blind it cannot catch shakken when time

03:41:40.200 --> 03:41:45.200
He'll give it up to the upstairs, but again, it's still alive to play with his teammates in sight

03:41:45.720 --> 03:41:50.600
The first time the roam from G2 does not lose a body now. Here's the blue position

03:41:50.600 --> 03:41:55.320
We also heard talked about during that timeout stomping gonna be playing his life playing to die here

03:41:55.320 --> 03:42:00.000
You've seen one how much time he can waste in two how many bodies he can take with him

03:42:00.000 --> 03:42:04.000
He is obviously the Warden, so should Canadian get up close and personal flash,

03:42:04.000 --> 03:42:05.260
will have no effect.

03:42:05.260 --> 03:42:07.800
Stomp and trying to play this aggressively again to keep him at bay.

03:42:07.800 --> 03:42:09.700
Here comes the Blitz, it's a double swing!

03:42:09.700 --> 03:42:12.900
And for the fourth round in a row, the Rebellion start with the opening pick.

03:42:12.900 --> 03:42:17.400
And getting rid of the Warden, someone who is so expected to waste time on this staircase,

03:42:17.400 --> 03:42:20.300
but still a minute 30 to work with, is massive.

03:42:20.300 --> 03:42:22.700
He's got multiple Pragornades, multiple picks once again,

03:42:22.700 --> 03:42:25.100
and he's spoilt through the hatch, gets rid of Benja.

03:42:25.100 --> 03:42:26.800
He wasn't expecting this Harrison.

03:42:26.800 --> 03:42:29.400
Once again, Rebellion takes the man advantage,

03:42:29.400 --> 03:42:31.200
and still have time to rotate.

03:42:31.200 --> 03:42:33.040
They could apply pressure from marble.

03:42:33.040 --> 03:42:34.520
They could look down garage, which

03:42:34.520 --> 03:42:37.560
was so effective for them last time they attacked this bomb site.

03:42:37.560 --> 03:42:38.720
That's exactly what they're doing.

03:42:38.720 --> 03:42:41.080
They're giving up on CCTV and just looking

03:42:41.080 --> 03:42:42.440
for a different execute.

03:42:42.440 --> 03:42:44.480
Saying, you know what, Doki behind server stack.

03:42:44.480 --> 03:42:47.400
We don't want to risk losing any bodies clearing him out.

03:42:47.400 --> 03:42:49.600
Instead, we'll go back lockers side.

03:42:49.600 --> 03:42:51.240
Shaco currently tracked by the Deimos.

03:42:51.240 --> 03:42:54.760
In comes Canadian, blinded by the Dreadmine at least for now.

03:42:54.760 --> 03:42:56.440
He's worried about a potential crossfire.

03:42:56.440 --> 03:42:58.120
Doki does go down to serve.

03:42:58.120 --> 03:43:01.220
It's a five versus two, it's a five versus one.

03:43:01.220 --> 03:43:04.720
Alamow with one kill, but he can do no more.

03:43:08.920 --> 03:43:10.360
You give them an inch, Harrison.

03:43:10.360 --> 03:43:13.000
They will take a mile with these attacks.

03:43:13.000 --> 03:43:16.740
Four and O for Shopify Rebellion.

03:43:16.740 --> 03:43:19.360
Again, clinical clear on those extensions.

03:43:19.360 --> 03:43:22.320
They burn the open area defender at the 32nd mark.

03:43:22.320 --> 03:43:24.340
They gravitate towards Shiko, who's alone.

03:43:24.340 --> 03:43:26.560
They force him to fall back to site.

03:43:26.560 --> 03:43:27.400
What's left for them?

03:43:27.400 --> 03:43:29.040
Who's still off the objective?

03:43:29.040 --> 03:43:30.080
It's Stompin'.

03:43:30.080 --> 03:43:32.240
They send three people to hunt him down,

03:43:32.240 --> 03:43:33.680
opening the hatch to cut him off,

03:43:33.680 --> 03:43:35.520
so he has to play for his life.

03:43:35.520 --> 03:43:39.080
He either lives here and finds success or dies

03:43:39.080 --> 03:43:41.840
and gives the man advantage to people swinging him

03:43:41.840 --> 03:43:44.040
off that blitz shield to get the entry

03:43:44.040 --> 03:43:46.520
and following suit, eliminating another player

03:43:46.520 --> 03:43:48.280
right beside him as well.

03:43:48.280 --> 03:43:50.040
And instead of just trying to over commit

03:43:50.040 --> 03:43:52.520
to going to CCTV, they readjust before G2

03:43:52.520 --> 03:43:56.000
can realize what's going on, and they go through elevator,

03:43:56.000 --> 03:44:01.000
and yet again G2 no response after their timeout.

03:44:01.100 --> 03:44:02.600
And you can almost see the frustration

03:44:02.600 --> 03:44:04.080
starting to settle in on the faces

03:44:04.080 --> 03:44:05.600
of some of the G2 members

03:44:05.600 --> 03:44:08.440
as Shopify rebellion are running away with this.

03:44:08.440 --> 03:44:12.280
Okay, we mentioned, can Canadian afford to go over here?

03:44:12.280 --> 03:44:15.880
He's got no pills, but he also has not died yet.

03:44:15.880 --> 03:44:17.640
And that's another big difference

03:44:17.640 --> 03:44:19.760
between Shopify rebellion losing

03:44:19.760 --> 03:44:21.040
and Shopify rebellion living.

03:44:21.040 --> 03:44:23.400
How much value does Canadian get

03:44:23.400 --> 03:44:25.040
out of these shield operators?

03:44:25.040 --> 03:44:29.520
So far, he has been an instrumental part of these pushes, despite not having to kill you.

03:44:31.120 --> 03:44:35.460
Okay, and even looking back at last round, he was that distraction on to Stoppin,

03:44:35.460 --> 03:44:40.800
being able to force him backward loop, giving Rexon that opening entry,

03:44:40.800 --> 03:44:43.840
and still keeping a man advantage for Shopify.

03:44:44.400 --> 03:44:47.600
We'll now see them try to clear on this upstairs realm with...

03:44:47.600 --> 03:44:50.640
That was an interesting upgrade. His first time we've seen Roroha then play,

03:44:50.640 --> 03:44:54.080
maybe hoping to cut off some of these, again, longer angles for G2,

03:44:54.080 --> 03:44:57.620
where they play a trade and Canadian already dropping down as he is in the side-hairs then.

03:44:57.620 --> 03:45:02.080
He sees how much there is on the road and just tries to drop in, stomping for the first time.

03:45:02.080 --> 03:45:05.420
This match gives G2 the opening pick but he's very quickly punished for it.

03:45:06.260 --> 03:45:10.500
Canadian is just looking for an angle of plant as his players upstairs start to fall.

03:45:11.000 --> 03:45:15.140
Wreson though with two underneath the open hatch goes big very quickly traded by Benja.

03:45:15.500 --> 03:45:20.320
Surf now finds himself alone but we know how clutch he can be especially on this operator

03:45:20.320 --> 03:45:24.480
Benjamaster puts G2 on his back and on the board.

03:45:24.480 --> 03:45:27.400
Remaining cool, calm, and collected.

03:45:27.400 --> 03:45:30.760
Despite the round deficit, they're finally on the board,

03:45:30.760 --> 03:45:35.880
stopping with the entry on display to stop that entry from Evox.

03:45:35.880 --> 03:45:39.640
It was basically a sandwich that Shopify or Bellion were trying to go for there,

03:45:39.640 --> 03:45:42.880
getting stock control early so they can drop the open area hatch

03:45:42.880 --> 03:45:47.160
that they know has already been opened by the defense playing up above the objective.

03:45:47.160 --> 03:45:48.240
They send the Blitz in.

03:45:48.240 --> 03:45:53.200
Canadian does a lot of damage on site, but after Stompin gets that entry, the rest of G2 can now

03:45:53.200 --> 03:45:57.680
refocus on what's happening throughout the rest of the map. They put all their attention

03:45:57.680 --> 03:46:02.240
onto shutting down that execute and the element of surprise is now gone. They officially get on

03:46:02.240 --> 03:46:07.120
the board and is their last site pick for the first half. We'll be going back down into the

03:46:07.120 --> 03:46:13.280
basement again, tripling down this time on the emphasis towards utility for stopping and execute.

03:46:13.280 --> 03:46:17.920
They've now got the DeChonka. They've now got the smoke in play. They even have a thorn too.

03:46:17.920 --> 03:46:23.800
It seems someone is having unfortunately some technical issues though, so hopefully we'll get that resolve because this has been an

03:46:24.240 --> 03:46:31.000
Incredible first map Harrison for our own experience on the main stage an incredible first map for Shopify rebellion and all their fans

03:46:31.000 --> 03:46:32.840
I think and again

03:46:32.840 --> 03:46:38.160
I hate I hate to harp on it because we just talked about it if Canadian kills stomp when he drops the hatch

03:46:38.240 --> 03:46:39.800
He missed maybe

03:46:39.800 --> 03:46:44.520
One or two key shots and he kills stop in there. Spoiler is probably still alive

03:46:44.520 --> 03:46:46.880
I can't remember shop a firebellion have a better

03:46:48.040 --> 03:46:52.660
Constriction on the site with that hit for I believe it was the kitchen double door

03:46:52.660 --> 03:46:58.600
But I'm sure shop a firebellion are not too pressed about winning that round. They are still for one

03:46:59.200 --> 03:47:04.720
Boys and ready to take a five one half should this go their way. It's back down to the basement

03:47:04.720 --> 03:47:12.000
We have a different lineup though for G2. They've dropped the Echo. They've dropped the Omai. They're bringing the smoke and the Tachanka

03:47:12.400 --> 03:47:16.560
Allowing Shopify rebellion a lot of space to move and relying on that plant denial

03:47:17.040 --> 03:47:22.040
This time game and opting to get some pressure early from their tunnel breaking off this gas pipe

03:47:22.040 --> 03:47:26.120
But look see backing away. He's got no one with system doesn't want to give me that entry early

03:47:26.120 --> 03:47:29.920
So we'll just back off and wait for his teammates to start clearing the top floor

03:47:29.920 --> 03:47:35.040
spot seeing nobody playing up above will just start opening up the main hatch from janitor

03:47:35.040 --> 03:47:40.160
look maybe some angles yeah took a little longer than expected but either way again Shopify

03:47:40.160 --> 03:47:44.000
they've got some early map control given the fact that chi chi were opting for an anchor they

03:47:44.000 --> 03:47:49.040
want to play off this utility for as long as they can and because they have the chanka alive on

03:47:49.040 --> 03:47:53.760
alamow stop and can once again play blue stairs but instead of having the warden against the blitz

03:47:53.760 --> 03:47:58.800
they've got the toxic canisters to force everyone trying to challenge him from blue to take damage

03:47:58.800 --> 03:48:01.240
and then face off against that Moscow's Wild Well.

03:48:03.040 --> 03:48:06.880
Shiko, on his position in elevator once again, he's getting Deimos tracked,

03:48:06.880 --> 03:48:10.800
he's getting Doka be called, and instantly he decides to fall back.

03:48:10.800 --> 03:48:14.240
Again, with how good Shopify rebellion have been on their roam clears,

03:48:14.240 --> 03:48:16.160
it is a wise decision not to give up his life.

03:48:16.160 --> 03:48:21.520
Shiko also uncharacteristically, oh for five, G2 are going to need him to wake up.

03:48:22.880 --> 03:48:25.760
And now we see rebellion off of clearing the Fenrir,

03:48:25.760 --> 03:48:27.680
start working their way down through marble,

03:48:27.680 --> 03:48:30.360
That's the barbed wire gone, maybe a nade as well.

03:48:30.360 --> 03:48:31.880
To get rid of one of those dread mines,

03:48:31.880 --> 03:48:34.320
Canadians' main use of force on the blitz

03:48:34.320 --> 03:48:37.080
is to help gather information and make space.

03:48:37.080 --> 03:48:39.040
The dread mine directly countering that.

03:48:39.040 --> 03:48:41.520
Rebellion have to focus with dealing

03:48:41.520 --> 03:48:43.160
against those Fenrir mines.

03:48:43.160 --> 03:48:46.440
Ambius well now rotating from bottom blue off the shield.

03:48:46.440 --> 03:48:48.520
They could try to start applying pressure on this plant,

03:48:48.520 --> 03:48:51.040
but again, there's so many resources

03:48:51.040 --> 03:48:52.480
to stop a default plant.

03:48:52.480 --> 03:48:54.720
Rebellion most likely has to get aggressive here

03:48:54.720 --> 03:48:57.600
in this fight versus fight to work a pick and cause chaos.

03:48:57.600 --> 03:49:03.720
You see all the utility from G2 starting to come out, Alamow continuously trying to delay

03:49:03.720 --> 03:49:05.240
that default plant position.

03:49:05.240 --> 03:49:11.800
Stomp in also with one gas canister remaining as Alamow continues to force his utility into

03:49:11.800 --> 03:49:12.800
the bomb site.

03:49:12.800 --> 03:49:15.960
Last smoke goes out to prevent the hatch drop in from rebellion.

03:49:15.960 --> 03:49:19.560
Canadian no shooting, the fire extinguisher looks to get deep in.

03:49:19.560 --> 03:49:23.480
Find Stomp in, but loses the fight as Doki comes in for assistance.

03:49:23.480 --> 03:49:26.680
Another opening pick here for G2 in the last 30 seconds of the round.

03:49:26.680 --> 03:49:31.000
about traded back to drop in from Wretzen not working everyone on the rebellion

03:49:31.000 --> 03:49:35.200
falling it's all up to ambi with such little time remaining at a one versus

03:49:35.200 --> 03:49:39.880
three stuck outside the box like lands a nasty shot against Shaco and he has

03:49:39.880 --> 03:49:44.680
information on the player sitting in red but 12 seconds remain and g2 know

03:49:44.680 --> 03:49:48.120
that as long as they just separate there's no way that ambi can get both

03:49:48.120 --> 03:49:52.840
of these kills looking for one can't light up benjaminster light enough down

03:49:52.840 --> 03:49:56.520
Now goes Stoffin, but the time bleeds dry.

03:49:56.520 --> 03:50:03.020
And G2, not the half they wanted, but two and four,

03:50:03.020 --> 03:50:06.640
better than what could have been a near flawless half.

03:50:06.640 --> 03:50:10.120
For Shopify Rebellion, I love the discipline

03:50:10.120 --> 03:50:12.400
in that last round by G2.

03:50:12.400 --> 03:50:14.120
We're going to hear from both the coaches now,

03:50:14.120 --> 03:50:16.240
as the sixth round has ended, to see what they have to say.

03:50:16.240 --> 03:50:18.800
I think they have been so fast, they have been so fast.

03:50:18.800 --> 03:50:20.120
Like they always did in the member code.

03:50:20.120 --> 03:50:31.040
So like, I think like, if you go forward with timing, for example like, you can like, run again, like, they do this, but like, we can't someone like, try and hide or something like that, these monsters, pretty sure.

03:50:31.040 --> 03:50:39.700
They have, they have, they just like, they just like, they just like, studies, make all the machine, like, you know, go again, like, let's just go out, and the studies, okay?

03:50:39.700 --> 03:50:41.960
So like, next time we'll have everything, okay?

03:50:41.960 --> 03:50:43.060
Okay, okay, okay.

03:50:43.060 --> 03:50:48.840
And for that, I think, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take the clash, so like, expect like, taking like, a fight server, like, with Kazami.

03:50:48.840 --> 03:50:56.840
Yeah, I think the attack is fine bro, I think you can collect it for defense, we're gonna need somebody to play Gage, I think it's better right, if those players go out?

03:50:56.840 --> 03:51:01.840
If those players go out, I think they can play like a... here in Marguerite, like a rune or something

03:51:01.840 --> 03:51:05.840
Yeah, and then we have like Zed playing the ward and then up, yeah

03:51:05.840 --> 03:51:13.840
Yeah, and like... for the Panera, like they probably want to like... either like he exploits, he gets far away again, and then like he shoots, then I'm like...

03:51:13.840 --> 03:51:19.140
I don't see anything in the elevator with the shield and like a lurk garage.

03:51:19.140 --> 03:51:23.340
Those are the only two, the other guys were like potentially taking map for the server.

03:51:23.340 --> 03:51:27.640
They can also just do a three man server take with a factor, remember for basement.

03:51:27.640 --> 03:51:32.340
Benja always likes to drop E1, so we need to make sure we constantly have eyes on that, okay?

03:51:32.340 --> 03:51:37.540
We're open, the big thing I want to remind us about is that knock, they love to walk the knock lobby,

03:51:37.540 --> 03:51:40.840
especially up red, so make sure we're looking for that.

03:51:40.840 --> 03:51:45.600
They also have to play with the double shield where black blackbeard and shaga will be stock

03:51:45.600 --> 03:51:48.080
They'll run in top square with the blitz

03:51:48.600 --> 03:51:51.440
Doki will be with him with lion and they'll have one on the repels

03:51:51.840 --> 03:51:58.360
They also have that as open. Okay. They also have to like go up blue ace open triple wall look to walk there

03:51:58.520 --> 03:52:01.280
Like that's kind of like more of a default remember for that one

03:52:01.280 --> 03:52:04.040
They want a double push lobby to try to take archive tellers

03:52:05.000 --> 03:52:07.720
For CEO remember they like to hip e3

03:52:07.720 --> 03:52:12.720
They'll bring the EFT, so we want to make sure we run the tube to keep that shut.

03:52:12.720 --> 03:52:13.720
There's a bad intro verse.

03:52:15.720 --> 03:52:17.720
I like that timeout from Shopify Rebellion.

03:52:17.720 --> 03:52:22.720
Obviously, you in the venue could not hear it, but Super placed a lot of emphasis on the lurk potential from G2.

03:52:22.720 --> 03:52:28.720
Benjamaster dropping E1 on the basement attack of Nooklaq Wabi with her open area.

03:52:28.720 --> 03:52:33.720
Also highlighting that G2, just like Shopify Rebellion, really like to play the shield.

03:52:33.720 --> 03:52:39.100
shield so warning his players about both the lurk and also the fact that g2 on

03:52:39.100 --> 03:52:46.380
their normal entry always have some kind of trade game. Again for g2 being down

03:52:46.380 --> 03:52:50.980
four rounds in a row it's incredible they got the last two there. Do not have such a

03:52:50.980 --> 03:52:55.660
large disadvantage against rebellion on a new half. Love the discipline they

03:52:55.660 --> 03:52:59.220
showed on that basement defense. Doki especially rotating from garage to

03:52:59.220 --> 03:53:03.540
dealing with Canadian and kind of being that first snowball to go in their

03:53:03.540 --> 03:53:07.180
favor on the anchor we now have rebellion of course defensive half to

03:53:07.180 --> 03:53:11.880
info bands for them also removed the Deimos and snake I highlighted those two

03:53:11.880 --> 03:53:16.020
operators specifically going into this match Harrison where both I believe it

03:53:16.020 --> 03:53:21.300
was both Shiko and Benja loving these two operators to play for themselves get

03:53:21.300 --> 03:53:25.380
that early tempo and finding the entry kills off that information it's been

03:53:25.380 --> 03:53:28.300
very effective for them for the late-round execute so having those two

03:53:28.300 --> 03:53:32.740
operators gone now it'll be interesting to see what G2 opt for on their attack

03:53:32.740 --> 03:53:35.940
Currently, it's a Grim and Doki, but that could obviously change.

03:53:38.500 --> 03:53:41.540
I like Shopify, I'm going here, leading a lot into the information.

03:53:41.840 --> 03:53:45.240
Valkyrie and Mozzie, the traps from Fenrir and Ella.

03:53:45.240 --> 03:53:51.640
There should be no location that G2 go to that the rebellion do not instantly know about.

03:53:51.640 --> 03:53:57.740
Now, there is an IQ game brought by G2, so hopefully these Valkyrie cameras from Ambi are not long lived.

03:53:57.740 --> 03:54:01.540
There's also that Doki, too, to help shut down the Mozzie and the Valkyrie.

03:54:01.540 --> 03:54:05.620
but soon those traps are going to be something that G2 have to worry about, especially,

03:54:05.620 --> 03:54:10.260
I imagine they're placed more for the anchor game than for the roam.

03:54:10.260 --> 03:54:14.380
Typically the roams aren't too hard upstairs, you just look for that hatch fallback.

03:54:14.380 --> 03:54:20.860
So G2 are attacking with only 45, 35 seconds left, the Fenderer and Ellic are fairly well punished.

03:54:24.100 --> 03:54:28.700
G2 officially entering into the building now as Benja leading the way,

03:54:28.700 --> 03:54:30.500
Getting some vert as well with the DMR.

03:54:30.500 --> 03:54:32.300
Cutting off that rotate you tend to see

03:54:32.300 --> 03:54:34.060
from the middle of Marvel's stairs.

03:54:34.060 --> 03:54:35.340
Leading in the teller's office,

03:54:35.340 --> 03:54:37.260
that is where Canadian currently resides.

03:54:37.260 --> 03:54:39.220
He sees that vert established above him

03:54:39.220 --> 03:54:40.700
and might try to go for a nitro cell.

03:54:40.700 --> 03:54:43.100
He'll land it and it goes off.

03:54:43.100 --> 03:54:44.820
But of course, no one is playing close by.

03:54:44.820 --> 03:54:46.580
No three's already falling down to Marvel,

03:54:46.580 --> 03:54:48.460
waiting for him to rotate.

03:54:48.460 --> 03:54:50.700
Perfect adjustment made from G2.

03:54:50.700 --> 03:54:52.980
And off of that, Ambi tries to get the trade.

03:54:52.980 --> 03:54:55.620
Is unsuccessful and immediately starts to fall back.

03:54:55.620 --> 03:54:58.660
Spoight now knowing that a little bit of that horizontal

03:54:58.660 --> 03:55:03.580
Assistance is gone, is going to play more passive in open area and play for that fallback.

03:55:04.180 --> 03:55:06.020
Breslin also upstairs with him.

03:55:06.740 --> 03:55:10.900
Currently the only player on site is now Ambi, kind of on the main stairs.

03:55:10.900 --> 03:55:12.940
There's really no one directly on site.

03:55:12.940 --> 03:55:17.380
Surv tried to swing out the blue, he catches, don't give us an immediate trade from stomping

03:55:17.380 --> 03:55:19.460
as G2 are starting to get fired up.

03:55:20.140 --> 03:55:25.220
The IQ for the smoke here and value, I feel like G2 still have a big advantage here,

03:55:25.220 --> 03:55:28.820
not just from the man advantage, but now they can clear blue without any hassle.

03:55:28.820 --> 03:55:33.060
That would serve job just to keep his life alive in blue to use those toxic

03:55:33.060 --> 03:55:36.940
babies. But now that he's gone, you could put much more emphasis on going in for a

03:55:36.940 --> 03:55:42.060
CCTV clear hatches now opened up from Shaco with the pocket charges for Havana

03:55:42.060 --> 03:55:45.780
as well in play for extra breach, maybe for a low perhaps towards lobby.

03:55:45.940 --> 03:55:49.640
We'll have to wait and see in these next 50 seconds is G2 just hitting the pause

03:55:49.640 --> 03:55:52.860
button to gather more information. Stop them likely gonna head down blue and

03:55:52.860 --> 03:55:55.980
Open that default wall with the rest of his ex-Kairos.

03:55:55.980 --> 03:56:00.300
As we heard from the timeout, a super warned his players

03:56:00.300 --> 03:56:05.660
that Benjamaster likes to drop E1 when the ex-EU comes through by A.

03:56:05.660 --> 03:56:08.660
Might see a double retake here up marble stairs,

03:56:08.660 --> 03:56:12.460
very quickly assuaded by Benjamaster.

03:56:12.460 --> 03:56:14.340
Forcing the defenders back downstairs,

03:56:14.340 --> 03:56:16.940
utility starting to come out from Shaco too.

03:56:16.940 --> 03:56:19.340
Softwall is going to give Alamo the long angle

03:56:19.340 --> 03:56:22.220
to help protect his planter and even maybe shoot the C4

03:56:22.220 --> 03:56:25.940
from Ambi, but Ambi just goes late with the kill on the Shiko.

03:56:25.940 --> 03:56:28.460
He's inside gold, again, playing for that C4,

03:56:28.460 --> 03:56:31.660
but it gets stuck, and all of us in L about tries to shoot it,

03:56:31.660 --> 03:56:33.140
and Ambi's good for three!

03:56:33.140 --> 03:56:33.640
Yeah!

03:56:36.580 --> 03:56:39.380
Is that an IQ simply too high for us, Harrison?

03:56:39.380 --> 03:56:40.260
It might be.

03:56:40.260 --> 03:56:41.940
Was that the biggest bait of all time,

03:56:41.940 --> 03:56:44.820
missing the C4 throw, having it stuck on the wall,

03:56:44.820 --> 03:56:47.740
and as they try to shoot it, they're not prepared for Ambi

03:56:47.740 --> 03:56:49.060
to swing?

03:56:49.060 --> 03:56:50.700
I don't know if that was the actual play,

03:56:50.700 --> 03:56:57.560
but it certainly worked out for Shopify as Andy is now good for three with a great start to their second half.

03:56:57.560 --> 03:56:59.600
It looked rough at the beginning. No, get me wrong.

03:56:59.600 --> 03:57:03.560
Benjah had a great clear dealing with Canadian, cutting him off from marble stairs.

03:57:03.560 --> 03:57:08.640
The Ram boogie drones being a major distraction for that mazzi and then going one for one.

03:57:08.640 --> 03:57:10.200
The IQ versus the smoke.

03:57:10.200 --> 03:57:12.760
You now have blue stairs controlled to man advantage.

03:57:12.760 --> 03:57:15.080
Everything is going your way at this point, Harrison.

03:57:15.080 --> 03:57:18.800
But again, they still cannot clear out those power spots downstairs.

03:57:18.800 --> 03:57:24.540
And he goes in for a big swing and completely disables that execute now 15 kills

03:57:25.220 --> 03:57:28.840
In this map alone. This has been such an impressive performance

03:57:29.840 --> 03:57:33.920
He has really come here today to win. It is it is just simply absurd

03:57:34.440 --> 03:57:37.360
The a man named Bob Ross used to call those happy accidents

03:57:38.800 --> 03:57:42.520
Great great line. I don't know. I'm very distracted by that

03:57:42.520 --> 03:57:49.420
C4, chopper fire belly, and I'm sure very happy with the lead now up 5-2 going to open area as their next bomb site

03:57:49.920 --> 03:57:52.960
Little bit focused still on the traps with the Ella and the Malusi and B

03:57:53.740 --> 03:57:54.960
his

03:57:54.960 --> 03:57:59.340
His reward for being 15 and 1 is Canadian saying get on the umpra

03:58:02.200 --> 03:58:07.680
I mean hey no recoil it's a literal laser vehicle so yeah sure look at it

03:58:08.440 --> 03:58:10.440
I'll try to cope for envy don't worry

03:58:10.440 --> 03:58:15.080
You do have a lot to do as the castle of course cutting off a lot of those

03:58:15.080 --> 03:58:20.280
repel angles from both the garage side the wall and also from CEO. You've got

03:58:20.280 --> 03:58:23.940
Burt to make with that secondary shotgun, assisting your teammates who like to

03:58:23.940 --> 03:58:28.080
extend over by tellers and archives. That'll be Canadian once again rocking

03:58:28.080 --> 03:58:33.840
Malusi. And Benka now, playing the ram, trying to get this vertical down as quickly and as

03:58:33.840 --> 03:58:38.800
safely as possible. Still playing outside the map, holding for Janitor as he knows

03:58:38.800 --> 03:58:42.360
No Shopify are playing this position upstairs.

03:58:42.360 --> 03:58:47.280
Two people dedicated for the meantime, and now Alamow has locked up Lobby to try and cause

03:58:47.280 --> 03:58:49.200
some chaos as well on Montane.

03:58:49.200 --> 03:58:50.200
Another suck piece of utility.

03:58:50.200 --> 03:58:53.400
Rexon's able to recover and start to gas out spiral stairs.

03:58:53.400 --> 03:58:57.760
Of course, if that Finca Bruce goes off, you'll take even more damage from the gas canister

03:58:57.760 --> 03:58:58.760
speaking of damage.

03:58:58.760 --> 03:59:02.800
And he's already been let up, but he gets the opening pick onto Benjamaster.

03:59:02.800 --> 03:59:03.800
He is feeling it.

03:59:03.800 --> 03:59:10.360
Katsun catches Doki trying to jump in the banana, but Monty is just trying to ADS this guy and he loses the fight.

03:59:10.360 --> 03:59:12.980
Stopping and trying to go the last two maples in the back.

03:59:12.980 --> 03:59:14.980
Are you kidding me?

03:59:14.980 --> 03:59:17.980
He's even confused about how he just hit that shot.

03:59:17.980 --> 03:59:24.980
And now Stopping stuck in a one versus five, wondering what the hell just happened to his team in less than half the round.

03:59:24.980 --> 03:59:36.860
Oh! And Shopify adding insult to injury, closed the round flawlessly.

03:59:36.860 --> 03:59:42.820
No response from G2 still and no tack timeout to think things through in the second half

03:59:42.820 --> 03:59:49.220
of Bank. They need one more round and we will already be done with Bankhares and that is

03:59:49.220 --> 03:59:55.380
just absurd g2 and rebellion having a long history fighting against each other internationally

03:59:56.180 --> 04:00:00.100
so far at least it's looked phenomenal for rebellion but again cafe a very similar map

04:00:00.100 --> 04:00:05.700
may be giving g2 some extra hope when we get there the first map obviously not over yet the

04:00:05.700 --> 04:00:11.300
rebellion now choosing to go upstairs into ceo with another emphasis probably on the realm i would

04:00:11.300 --> 04:00:16.580
imagine surf now playing the solace i imagine g2 will have a lot of mini games to deal with when

04:00:16.580 --> 04:00:23.060
clearing out this map. Oh we gotta see the wall bang again. Where is it? Here it is. Oh my last

04:00:23.060 --> 04:00:33.300
bullet. He gave up on that. Oh my goodness. I mean there's a reason. There's a reason if you're a

04:00:33.300 --> 04:00:37.940
newer fan. I don't know if you know this. Before Stompin was the star rookie, Ambi was the talk of

04:00:37.940 --> 04:00:44.180
the town touted as one of the best players in the world since he entered the pro league scene

04:00:44.180 --> 04:00:53.220
and he is showing why. One death, 17 kills in eight rounds. He has over a 2KPR and a

04:00:53.220 --> 04:00:56.820
chance to hit 20 before we even hit round 10.

04:00:56.820 --> 04:01:06.060
It's not going to two-brow DMR. Two bullets. That's all you need to confirm a kill in most

04:01:06.060 --> 04:01:10.660
scenarios with this weapon. You could maybe just see that 20 bomb, Harrison, but in the

04:01:10.660 --> 04:01:15.220
In the meantime, G2 gathering some early information on the bomb site.

04:01:15.220 --> 04:01:18.660
Three attackers set up looking to deal with this position.

04:01:18.660 --> 04:01:20.340
Are these guys trying to rush in?

04:01:20.340 --> 04:01:24.660
Doki goes for a hail, Manny or Doki goes in for a millenia by mistake and Ambi's there

04:01:24.660 --> 04:01:29.340
to greet him with two shots to the chest and once again rebellion start on the right foot.

04:01:29.340 --> 04:01:32.940
The biggest starter this map would not be if G2 can come back at this point.

04:01:32.940 --> 04:01:35.660
It might be, can Ambi get two more kills this round?

04:01:35.660 --> 04:01:40.700
As he's already found Doki, he shuts down the very rarely played Iana.

04:01:40.700 --> 04:01:45.060
So I guess we won't really get to see what the plan was with that other than just having ARX.

04:01:45.060 --> 04:01:48.340
In the site goes Alamo. He's got to worry about this player and Janitor.

04:01:48.340 --> 04:01:53.380
Baylor comes out. Rexen doesn't expect it, but Ambi got his teammates back.

04:01:53.380 --> 04:01:58.180
Surf another kill. Ambi only needs one more for the 20 bomb.

04:01:58.180 --> 04:02:03.060
I can't believe this and he's trying to do it against Stompin, who's on the lapel,

04:02:03.060 --> 04:02:07.420
Watching his angle in front desk, Benjamaster looking to come up by Sparrow.

04:02:07.420 --> 04:02:13.220
Actually, he's outside the repel. I thought he was inside Lobby, but Benjam is still outside.

04:02:14.580 --> 04:02:15.340
Is Andy?

04:02:16.060 --> 04:02:18.740
I mean, he doesn't, he can't feel any pressure at all right now.

04:02:18.740 --> 04:02:20.580
He is going absolutely massive.

04:02:21.020 --> 04:02:24.940
Playing behind a reinforced wall, nothing much that Stompick can do except try to throw in his watch.

04:02:24.940 --> 04:02:26.140
Damn it, ma'am!

04:02:26.140 --> 04:02:27.740
You're gonna kill me!

04:02:27.740 --> 04:02:29.620
Damn you, son of a...

04:02:29.620 --> 04:02:33.620
Closing up the map for 21, Matt Zephrens!

04:02:35.120 --> 04:02:37.120
If you bleeped, you missed it!

04:02:37.120 --> 04:02:44.620
But we just saw Shopify dominate T2 in just 9 rounds of bank!

04:02:45.120 --> 04:02:47.620
What a matchup, Harrison.

04:02:47.620 --> 04:02:50.620
We've got plenty more to talk about in just a few moments,

04:02:50.620 --> 04:02:55.620
but as the map is included, we'll often have a quick break and return for Katvej Nostayevsky.

04:08:59.620 --> 04:09:01.020
in the world on your team.

04:09:01.020 --> 04:09:03.020
How are you going to prove that on map two?

04:09:03.020 --> 04:09:05.820
Um, well, I still believe it.

04:09:05.820 --> 04:09:07.620
Ambi just had one of those games.

04:09:07.620 --> 04:09:09.020
One of those games, bro, one of those games.

04:09:09.020 --> 04:09:10.620
That was like the same performance, to be honest.

04:09:10.620 --> 04:09:11.820
Not much we can do. We lost to Ambi.

04:09:11.820 --> 04:09:13.820
We didn't lose Shopify, so hopefully we can play Shopify

04:09:13.820 --> 04:09:15.920
next map and not just Ambi, maybe.

04:09:15.920 --> 04:09:17.520
Well, a second you just leaned over my shoulder

04:09:17.520 --> 04:09:19.520
and you told Ambi this is the craziest map you've seen

04:09:19.520 --> 04:09:21.320
from anyone in your life.

04:09:21.320 --> 04:09:22.820
How do you stop him on map two?

04:09:22.820 --> 04:09:24.220
At 21 and 1, it's crazy, right?

04:09:24.220 --> 04:09:26.520
So whatever, you have to just ignore it and just go next.

04:09:26.520 --> 04:09:28.320
Nothing to do. Nothing to be done.

04:09:28.320 --> 04:09:34.520
21 kills in nine rounds. This crowd is behind you. How did you pull this one off?

04:09:34.520 --> 04:09:39.760
I mean just everything I'm doing is working and I'm gonna feel bad for the next map.

04:09:39.760 --> 04:09:44.520
And we have to know the Valkyrie C4 toss was that a bait on purpose or did you just miss it?

04:09:44.520 --> 04:09:47.440
I missed it. I missed it. I just missed it.

04:09:47.440 --> 04:09:49.120
Well a happy accident. Thank you Ambi.

04:09:49.120 --> 04:09:54.080
I love that honesty. Absolutely love it.

04:09:54.080 --> 04:10:02.080
Rebellion rolls through G2 on their own, Matt Pick, Salt Lake City, how about Ambi?

04:10:04.080 --> 04:10:06.080
We're talking about the wrong two people on here on the desk.

04:10:06.080 --> 04:10:09.080
Yeah, good for Ambi for a little bit.

04:10:09.080 --> 04:10:12.080
Fox and Lacks joined us here to analyze what the hell just happened.

04:10:12.080 --> 04:10:15.080
I mean Ambi was saying everything's just working, but I don't think it's just that.

04:10:15.080 --> 04:10:21.080
I mean starting from their operators, bringing Doke, Demos, Snake, constant info operators

04:10:21.080 --> 04:10:23.780
to be able to get Ambien into these tight corners.

04:10:23.780 --> 04:10:26.080
He's able to catch everybody from G2 off guard.

04:10:26.080 --> 04:10:27.580
The opening picks from him alone

04:10:27.580 --> 04:10:29.580
is why they were able to just snowball.

04:10:29.580 --> 04:10:31.780
Because you could never pinpoint where Ambien is coming.

04:10:31.780 --> 04:10:33.280
Again, when you look at the Operator line of suit,

04:10:33.280 --> 04:10:34.080
like you were talking about,

04:10:34.080 --> 04:10:36.280
it only amplifies that level of play from Ambien.

04:10:36.280 --> 04:10:38.180
But, I mean, just even the team as a whole,

04:10:38.180 --> 04:10:40.380
they were working very well in tandem with one another,

04:10:40.380 --> 04:10:41.580
being able to work around them.

04:10:41.580 --> 04:10:44.280
That really can strict G2 on their defenses.

04:10:44.280 --> 04:10:46.580
Not really ever really giving them a chance to breathe

04:10:46.580 --> 04:10:49.380
outside of maybe him accidentally missing that C4,

04:10:49.380 --> 04:10:51.180
but still somehow turning into a three-cam.

04:10:51.180 --> 04:10:52.980
I mean, Ambier really stole the show.

04:10:52.980 --> 04:10:55.020
I mean, a lot of respect for Delky acknowledging.

04:10:55.020 --> 04:10:57.380
We lost to Ambier, mashed up by Rebellion.

04:10:57.380 --> 04:10:58.820
Hopefully, that's not going to be the case.

04:10:58.820 --> 04:11:01.460
But, I mean, you still have to get credit for the side of SR.

04:11:01.460 --> 04:11:03.820
I mean, they were all moving around the map very well

04:11:03.820 --> 04:11:04.820
and playing really well.

04:11:04.820 --> 04:11:06.420
It's just Ambier stole the show.

04:11:06.420 --> 04:11:07.660
And I do what I mentioned.

04:11:07.660 --> 04:11:11.260
I said Troy can go 0-0, 0-6, whatever it is,

04:11:11.260 --> 04:11:12.660
as long as the team is fragging,

04:11:12.660 --> 04:11:14.940
as long as Ambiers drop it 21-1,

04:11:14.940 --> 04:11:16.940
they are going to be sitting pretty.

04:11:16.940 --> 04:11:22.000
I was telling all of the information that they brought from the operators to their throne so many of the kills that

04:11:22.000 --> 04:11:23.240
Ami was able to get

04:11:23.240 --> 04:11:26.720
Information was all over the map so at the end of the day Ami's the spearhead

04:11:26.720 --> 04:11:29.360
But there was set up around him the team is working

04:11:29.520 --> 04:11:36.000
Absolutely, and when they got that opening kill they wouldn't lose it the way that they would tighten up understand G2 might go for fights

04:11:36.000 --> 04:11:41.400
might go for flanks they knew what was coming and I just don't think G2 adapted correctly their biggest issue was

04:11:41.400 --> 04:11:43.540
is playing to fall back to site,

04:11:43.540 --> 04:11:45.020
but then bringing more information

04:11:45.020 --> 04:11:47.040
as opposed to traps to deal with Ami.

04:11:47.040 --> 04:11:48.100
And this is where I was talking about that.

04:11:48.100 --> 04:11:49.500
Push and pull from both of these teams.

04:11:49.500 --> 04:11:51.420
I mean, you can expect it's Nasty and Ferocity

04:11:51.420 --> 04:11:52.220
from both of these teams.

04:11:52.220 --> 04:11:53.860
They're going to be trading blow for blow,

04:11:53.860 --> 04:11:55.780
but it's just SR had a better handle on it.

04:11:55.780 --> 04:11:57.780
They knew that they could keep putting that pressure

04:11:57.780 --> 04:11:59.380
and how they can apply that pressure,

04:11:59.380 --> 04:12:01.460
and it was Ami just getting in the thick of it,

04:12:01.460 --> 04:12:03.700
constantly while the rest were just converging,

04:12:03.700 --> 04:12:05.060
and again, constricting the site.

04:12:05.060 --> 04:12:07.340
I mean, G2 has to have a better result

04:12:07.340 --> 04:12:08.500
going into this second map.

04:12:08.500 --> 04:12:10.220
It's not just those here that have been reacting

04:12:10.220 --> 04:12:11.140
to Ambi's performance.

04:12:11.140 --> 04:12:12.980
The community has been loving it, too.

04:12:12.980 --> 04:12:15.180
Let's just pull up a couple of reactions

04:12:15.180 --> 04:12:17.740
to that incredible map from Ambi.

04:12:17.740 --> 04:12:22.180
You can see JJ saying, I mean, Ambi is just the fucking king.

04:12:22.180 --> 04:12:25.980
And you can't argue that.

04:12:25.980 --> 04:12:29.260
And heads, I mean, look, how many emojis do you need

04:12:29.260 --> 04:12:31.060
to explain what we've just witnessed there?

04:12:31.060 --> 04:12:32.380
It was a lifetime performance.

04:12:32.380 --> 04:12:34.140
I mean, that's the entire staff at G2's minds

04:12:34.140 --> 04:12:34.860
were blown after that.

04:12:34.860 --> 04:12:37.860
You got the coaching staff and the players.

04:12:37.860 --> 04:12:39.980
No, I mean, I think starting from round one,

04:12:39.980 --> 04:12:45.520
Especially if you're ambi in a North American crowd that round one walking up red being able to get the kills off top floor

04:12:45.520 --> 04:12:47.920
And then converting that into getting the kills bottom floor

04:12:47.960 --> 04:12:52.660
You've got to be just electrified for the rest of the series and he was he wasn't missing a single shot

04:12:52.660 --> 04:12:57.680
I mean when you look to the next map when you look to cafe again, I'm just thinking g2 saying

04:12:57.680 --> 04:13:01.960
Oh, we just hope to play the whole team not just ambi. I don't think it's that simple bring more traps

04:13:01.960 --> 04:13:03.960
They're gonna do the same type of work play

04:13:04.120 --> 04:13:09.800
I'll tell you what let's get back into this series. What do we think should we do Matthew? Yeah

04:13:09.980 --> 04:13:10.980
Yeah, let's do it, absolutely.

04:13:10.980 --> 04:13:12.480
Go and fellow him, you're doing a great job.

04:13:12.480 --> 04:13:15.480
Leaders into this one.

04:13:15.480 --> 04:13:17.680
Thank you so much, Ian.

04:13:17.680 --> 04:13:19.840
I mean, what more can we say about Ambi

04:13:19.840 --> 04:13:21.840
that the desk already has in?

04:13:21.840 --> 04:13:26.960
I mean, I guess I can say Ambi got almost half

04:13:26.960 --> 04:13:30.800
of the total possible kills that Shroudify could have gotten

04:13:30.800 --> 04:13:31.880
that whole match.

04:13:31.880 --> 04:13:34.560
That's ridiculous.

04:13:34.560 --> 04:13:35.720
And like, what do you do?

04:13:35.720 --> 04:13:37.200
I mean, say that right, don't you say?

04:13:37.200 --> 04:13:38.720
You just got to wipe it from your mind.

04:13:38.720 --> 04:13:40.980
You got to pretend it never happened and just move on.

04:13:40.980 --> 04:13:43.960
Because how easy is that though, right?

04:13:43.960 --> 04:13:45.600
Because you're going into this map now,

04:13:45.600 --> 04:13:48.880
knowing that Ambi just had one of the greatest performances

04:13:48.880 --> 04:13:52.120
Siege, single map performances Siege has ever seen.

04:13:52.120 --> 04:13:53.920
It can't be that easy to just ignore it.

04:13:53.920 --> 04:13:56.040
Every time you swing someone, you know Ambi plays.

04:13:56.040 --> 04:13:57.600
You got to be thinking in the back of your mind,

04:13:57.600 --> 04:13:58.640
OK, this might be Ambi.

04:13:58.640 --> 04:14:01.440
I might get slammed.

04:14:01.440 --> 04:14:03.640
Well, at least they've got rid of some

04:14:03.640 --> 04:14:06.080
of those crucial info ops that Rebellion were relying on

04:14:06.080 --> 04:14:06.840
for their defense.

04:14:06.840 --> 04:14:22.040
I mean, it's so, it's so rare to see that happen back to back to see lightning strike twice, but for Andy, I feel like it could happen to be honest going into five place and mining for rebellions first defense not starting on the attack this time for

04:14:22.040 --> 04:14:26.840
map number two of Cafe Dostoevsky. They've got a pretty normal line up, I would say.

04:14:26.840 --> 04:14:29.720
You know, obviously when you pick these middle four bomb sites for cafe, there's a

04:14:29.720 --> 04:14:33.080
lot of vert you can get on the site as an attacker. So how do you counter that?

04:14:33.080 --> 04:14:36.600
You go upstairs, you make the attack waste the time, don't give them the

04:14:36.600 --> 04:14:40.600
opportunities to get map control for free. That's clearly what rebellion are

04:14:40.600 --> 04:14:44.440
opting to go for with the Mellusi, with the Thorn, a lot of stall and intel ops,

04:14:44.440 --> 04:14:48.200
the Mira as well. Now you're required to bring some sort of ranged

04:14:48.200 --> 04:14:51.840
Har breach, maybe bring a twitch, which Ben is still highlighting over currently.

04:14:52.280 --> 04:14:55.520
That could obviously change, but they still have at least some tools to

04:14:55.520 --> 04:14:57.280
potentially deal with that.

04:14:57.280 --> 04:15:01.280
And with there being an emphasis on the flank watch as well in the round for G2,

04:15:01.280 --> 04:15:04.480
we are probably bound to see them use those air jabs again, just to stop

04:15:04.480 --> 04:15:05.680
anyone from walking up red.

04:15:05.680 --> 04:15:08.720
Like I believe the desk highlighted briefly as well, recontesting some of

04:15:08.720 --> 04:15:10.160
those key staircases that way.

04:15:10.160 --> 04:15:12.960
Once G2 get map control, they don't have to worry about rebellion, trying

04:15:12.960 --> 04:15:14.280
to fight back for it as easily.

04:15:14.280 --> 04:15:20.280
Yeah, I like the Brava pick here that Doki swapped off of Lyon onto she can counter the form

04:15:20.280 --> 04:15:25.600
But mostly you're probably gonna see her at default camps as well as the ban sheet from the Lucy and those

04:15:25.920 --> 04:15:32.460
Ernie gates so all that static utility is ripe for the picking from Doki as we already see him pile with his Brava in

04:15:32.460 --> 04:15:38.280
There's the snow ban sheet on and that's a crucial one because if this roam through ends up being fast into reading

04:15:38.600 --> 04:15:40.840
Chopped firebelly might miss out on those banshees

04:15:40.840 --> 04:15:46.440
They won't have the heads up of that. I guess the one was what you would call it.

04:15:46.440 --> 04:15:50.040
Just that really loud sound effect giving away. There's a rush to be had from sight.

04:15:50.040 --> 04:15:55.480
Again, before you can make that commitment towards the objective, you gotta focus on working these picks upstairs,

04:15:55.480 --> 04:15:58.280
getting that map control with the verticality and stopping.

04:15:58.280 --> 04:16:02.760
A well needed entry for his team that's now Rexing on from white.

04:16:02.760 --> 04:16:07.480
Shiko will look to take this space almost immediately and there should have go for a side brush here, looks like Harrison.

04:16:07.480 --> 04:16:12.320
And in comes the repel, but Canadian wins the fight against Alamow to drop the striker.

04:16:12.320 --> 04:16:18.040
In comes Ben-Shun, and Canadian is good for two, dropping the case in the middle of the bomb site.

04:16:18.040 --> 04:16:23.480
Surf caught by Doki, on newbout though, and G2 are able to even up the man count,

04:16:23.480 --> 04:16:29.240
but Canadian going huge in reading puts a damper on this G2 execute.

04:16:29.240 --> 04:16:35.800
The old man still got it, keeping his tie 3 versus 3 as Spoyt will still hold upstairs

04:16:35.800 --> 04:16:48.600
to stop this long clear and he goes for an aggressive play, but Doki's there to punish great patients for the blocker trying to help stomping upstairs do a exploit, but instead he's prepared for the run out with the lack of air job from the single doorway.

04:16:49.240 --> 04:16:54.360
Holding this window once again, spoi tries to tempt fate just like his teammate did, but doesn't want to meet the exact same death.

04:16:54.680 --> 04:16:58.600
So instead back away and let G2 keep this day in advantage of more importantly, Harrison,

04:16:58.600 --> 04:17:04.200
With Canadian winning those two fights earlier in this round, they've got case control, but he's not good for three.

04:17:04.200 --> 04:17:10.200
Stomp in, able to eat up those shots from the Vector, survive with one HP down through the wall by Spoit though.

04:17:10.200 --> 04:17:15.600
Kenny, they've got the hero play to shop a fire of Ellie, and all he's got to do is find Doki in this hallway,

04:17:15.600 --> 04:17:23.000
but the play goes down in the meantime, miss the round, Spoit can't land the shots, and Doki goes huge to put G2 on the board first.

04:17:23.000 --> 04:17:31.000
And G2 wasting zero time with that adjustment as well, realizing that, you know, it doesn't

04:17:31.000 --> 04:17:34.760
matter how much hurt they have, it doesn't matter how much map control they've established.

04:17:34.760 --> 04:17:37.920
If they don't have case, they're out of luck at this point.

04:17:37.920 --> 04:17:39.480
You've got to rotate back towards AC.

04:17:39.480 --> 04:17:41.320
You've got to take control by pillar.

04:17:41.320 --> 04:17:45.520
Now you've re-secured this man advantage, allowing yourself to get back into site.

04:17:45.520 --> 04:17:50.080
And with their amount of info they had, that knowing Canadian was the only person by train

04:17:50.080 --> 04:17:53.600
to defend the A bomb, they can just try to dog-fire him

04:17:53.600 --> 04:17:57.600
and being low on HP, recover that diffuser with a two if not three-player

04:17:57.600 --> 04:18:01.440
man advantage if Sleip won't get that wallbang kill from Reading Room

04:18:01.440 --> 04:18:06.080
and start Kafe off with an attacking round win. This map is obviously a little

04:18:06.080 --> 04:18:10.320
more attacker-sided than banked a map we had just gone to, but it is still

04:18:10.320 --> 04:18:13.920
a multi-layered map similar to banked that can give a lot of attacking teams

04:18:13.920 --> 04:18:18.800
struggle in the early to mid round. Yeah, so far this event Kafe has been

04:18:18.800 --> 04:18:24.640
One of the most defender-sided maps in the pool is third after Consulate and Labs,

04:18:24.640 --> 04:18:31.120
because a 61% defensive win rate, so 4-2 is pretty much what we're going to expect here.

04:18:31.760 --> 04:18:36.720
So G2 getting that first attack around really opened things up here for them to get it,

04:18:36.720 --> 04:18:41.840
perhaps a 3-3 split, which would be a huge advantage, heading into the latter half of this map,

04:18:41.840 --> 04:18:46.080
especially because Shopify Rebellion hover around 50% on both sides.

04:18:48.800 --> 04:18:59.300
We've now got the other middle floor bomb site in play for Shopify. It'll be Reading Room. Again, similar story to Mining, just less likely for a rush from the Mining window towards this time.

04:18:59.300 --> 04:19:06.400
You want to go for a top to bottom here, get that bird, force back the roam, and then just kind of stand with your way and decide.

04:19:06.400 --> 04:19:17.500
Hence why the lineup is almost, if not completely identical for G2, except the lack of a sledge in this round, whereas Rebellion, they also are looking to be having a very similar lineup as well.

04:19:17.500 --> 04:19:23.380
that C4 almost didn't get an early kick for Cerf and now he'll be hunted down and G2 ran a perfect date on his teammate.

04:19:23.380 --> 04:19:31.440
There's no spots from Cerf, but Junkie gets two to keep his band advantage with Tide almost immediately by Rex and as he falls off.

04:19:31.440 --> 04:19:38.940
The death set before we started this match, this is going to be a bloody battle and Rebellion and G2 are proving that to be a fact.

04:19:38.940 --> 04:19:44.340
Two trades for each team on that top floor. G2 started the killing off on the split.

04:19:44.340 --> 04:19:48.420
but thanks to surf anorexia and they do not lose the man advantage they do

04:19:48.420 --> 04:19:51.020
however lose the top floor

04:19:51.020 --> 04:19:54.900
luckily for them gc are not really bringing any dedicated soft breach there's

04:19:54.900 --> 04:19:57.780
no ram no sledge no box they don't even have

04:19:57.780 --> 04:20:01.580
breach in charges so all they'll really be working with here are the premade holes

04:20:01.580 --> 04:20:02.460
from the defense

04:20:02.460 --> 04:20:05.860
and some of those explosions made by the nades. The explosions

04:20:05.860 --> 04:20:09.780
still one more nitrocell here for Canadian they could have infill off a

04:20:09.780 --> 04:20:10.660
mazzi pest

04:20:10.660 --> 04:20:16.040
To potentially set that off in the right direction to get a man advantage now for Shopify air jab coming off

04:20:16.360 --> 04:20:17.940
Denying that rotate from Brown

04:20:17.940 --> 04:20:23.900
I believe in giving G2 a moment just to catch their breath gather more information before committing into reading room

04:20:23.900 --> 04:20:29.140
They've got the vert control upstairs Benji even dropping the diffuser off the dip of that

04:20:29.500 --> 04:20:33.720
Fall off by new being able to allow his teammate to pick that up

04:20:33.720 --> 04:20:35.280
So he can try to pressure this post plant

04:20:35.280 --> 04:20:40.100
But again, you've got to worry about Canadian and if he's in the right place to use this C4 while dodging that verticality

04:20:40.660 --> 04:20:47.180
Rexon also worried about this hatch that Benjamaster looks like he really wants to drop. We know how much he likes to lurk.

04:20:47.980 --> 04:20:54.260
I believe he heard Rexon on his runaway, but Rexon instead I think just one task say hell out of hell about.

04:20:54.260 --> 04:21:00.120
People from Canadian does not land. Now trapped in the Banshee is Benjam. He's got case planting it deep on the cover

04:21:00.120 --> 04:21:03.320
through upstairs from Shaiqo though. He's not quite good enough.

04:21:04.020 --> 04:21:07.180
Rexon steps up for Shopify Rebellion and puts Shaiqo.

04:21:07.180 --> 04:21:12.860
The lone Frenchman on G2 in a 1 versus 3, 24 seconds remaining.

04:21:12.860 --> 04:21:15.660
He's got information on the player on white stairs.

04:21:15.660 --> 04:21:19.580
That's Canadian, he's got the shotgun out, Apikos, Shiko cleans him up.

04:21:19.580 --> 04:21:22.620
Two more to find now, Ambien, Rexon though far afield.

04:21:22.620 --> 04:21:27.580
Shiko getting a little bit slowed down, almost catches Ambien, completely unaware.

04:21:27.580 --> 04:21:30.140
And now Rexon's the last man standing.

04:21:30.140 --> 04:21:35.580
More information is available for Shiko, but Rexon is just quite not close enough.

04:21:37.180 --> 04:21:46.780
A little too close for Comfort there for Shopify, but burning out the clock will tie us up one to one off the back of

04:21:46.780 --> 04:21:55.380
Rexons 3k in that round. The trade upstairs denied G2 that early man advantage to snowball against Shopify.

04:21:55.380 --> 04:22:01.180
They had a lot of vert to utilize in the site, but instead rebellion to counteract that just simply play in the further back

04:22:01.180 --> 04:22:06.060
regions, over by fireplace, playing over by reading hallway, waiting for that

04:22:06.060 --> 04:22:11.500
laundry hatch drop, those longer angles really being a benefit to Rexxon's two-shot

04:22:11.500 --> 04:22:16.380
DMR on the Tuber Al. And again, giving G2 no options to plant, they have to go for

04:22:16.380 --> 04:22:20.180
the gunfight, Shiko gets two, but runs at a time before he can try to fight for the

04:22:20.180 --> 04:22:24.940
third one there. And we're now not gonna be going into bar and cocktail, instead it'll be

04:22:24.940 --> 04:22:33.660
double kitchen in play for Shopify with again emphasis on the skull GQ have been having a slower approach over all

04:22:34.500 --> 04:22:39.300
When it comes into these attacks for cafe, so I think the clash of smoke is a great adjustment here to add into that

04:22:40.740 --> 04:22:44.380
Big trades again from Shopify rebellion on that top floor

04:22:44.380 --> 04:22:49.540
We talked about how good the trade game is for both of these teams and how important it'll be in such

04:22:49.660 --> 04:22:52.680
What we presume to be frag heavy matchup

04:22:52.680 --> 04:22:53.980
Activate your camera.

04:22:53.980 --> 04:22:56.780
I say presumed to be we just watched Ambi drop 21 kills in nine rounds.

04:22:56.780 --> 04:23:01.380
Of course, a realm upstairs for Shopify Rebellion.

04:23:01.380 --> 04:23:04.980
They do not want to allow G2 to have free reign of that second floor,

04:23:04.980 --> 04:23:07.980
especially with the ram now being brought from Stomp and Ambi,

04:23:07.980 --> 04:23:10.580
taking a lot of early damage here from G2.

04:23:10.580 --> 04:23:11.980
He's down to about half HP.

04:23:11.980 --> 04:23:13.780
Luckily, you can still play for that C4.

04:23:14.380 --> 04:23:16.980
Actually playing in VIP could get support from Canadian C3.

04:23:16.980 --> 04:23:20.880
The first time we're seeing the clash on our cap A defense here.

04:23:20.880 --> 04:23:28.880
A lot of times when you see this clash, he's either inside the site kind of by whiskey double, or you have him play in VIP to help protect.

04:23:28.880 --> 04:23:31.880
In this round, it would be Ambien.

04:23:31.880 --> 04:23:36.880
Canadian may be looking to make some distance here, allowing Rexton to this one-to-one.

04:23:36.880 --> 04:23:37.880
Oh wow!

04:23:37.880 --> 04:23:43.880
He made a Benja! Almost an opening duel, but Benja backs off immediately, doesn't want to tempt fate there.

04:23:43.880 --> 04:23:51.800
The Brava can still remain alive just for an extra gun, maybe they're nice in utility as well upstairs, but Benja is literally one HP.

04:23:51.800 --> 04:23:56.560
That barbed wire that both Dade and Surfeit brought, that might just be what downs him in this matchup.

04:23:56.560 --> 04:23:58.200
That'd be really funny actually.

04:23:58.200 --> 04:23:59.760
We've seen it before.

04:23:59.760 --> 04:24:05.560
Speaking of barbed wire, Doki punches it once and leaves, baiting out the shots from Ambi.

04:24:05.560 --> 04:24:11.360
Again, this clash is going to be such a focal point of the Rebellion's defense here today, the attempting fate.

04:24:11.360 --> 04:24:14.360
Benja keeping him at bay.

04:24:14.360 --> 04:24:19.360
Canadian then just picks up the shield, confirms the position of the Brava.

04:24:19.360 --> 04:24:25.360
Meanwhile, Stompin has been performing some renovations upstairs on the ceiling with his boogie drones.

04:24:25.360 --> 04:24:29.360
Lots of angles now opened up, no kills being had for G2 just yet.

04:24:29.360 --> 04:24:34.360
Instead, if the rebellion is start things off, Rexon trying to do his best and the impression here,

04:24:34.360 --> 04:24:38.360
taking off what little was remaining from Benja's health.

04:24:38.360 --> 04:24:42.120
And there's still plenty of info for the Rebellion as well, Shiko detected from red.

04:24:42.120 --> 04:24:43.400
The air jab to try to assist him.

04:24:43.400 --> 04:24:47.400
Rexon now good for another, and G2 trying to barrel their way from brown stairs.

04:24:47.400 --> 04:24:49.960
But there's so many angles to contest them.

04:24:49.960 --> 04:24:54.280
Two versus five for the Rebellion as they remain strong downstairs.

04:24:54.280 --> 04:24:56.680
Alamos stuck outside reception.

04:24:56.680 --> 04:25:00.440
Shiko on the other side of the map now coming down red.

04:25:00.440 --> 04:25:06.440
K-Nadion behind the shield cuts down the IGL for G2 and Shiko finds himself alone.

04:25:06.440 --> 04:25:07.960
Down goes Spoi.

04:25:07.960 --> 04:25:10.640
But there's still four more players to fight and look at this.

04:25:10.640 --> 04:25:16.820
There's a long-range totem pole from Shopify Rebellion as they hold on to carpet with all four bodies.

04:25:16.820 --> 04:25:19.320
Shai though, I don't know how the hell you're gonna win this man.

04:25:19.320 --> 04:25:21.480
You might be one of the best players ever.

04:25:21.480 --> 04:25:26.400
But Shopify Rebellion are trying to make damn sure you can't get down these stairs.

04:25:31.400 --> 04:25:35.520
The Rebellion once again collapsing in on G2's attack.

04:25:35.520 --> 04:25:42.000
The early information off of Canadian's clash to deal with that initial cut angle from reception lobby as well

04:25:42.000 --> 04:25:48.400
Benja having no real chance of contesting another gunfight later on as he's so low on HP from Rex and tagging his feet

04:25:48.400 --> 04:25:53.280
I believe from underneath the van if not it was spoilt maybe on the other DMR of the Aruni regardless

04:25:53.760 --> 04:25:55.600
Rex in the one to finish off Benja

04:25:55.600 --> 04:26:03.280
That's now the main advantage the rest of the rebellion having tons of information on G2's attack primarily focusing on VIP

04:26:03.280 --> 04:26:08.880
So they readjust their positions to hold crossfires work off of that clash shield and another timeout is called early for

04:26:33.280 --> 04:26:36.560
out their own problems like the head valve okay but it like doesn't matter like like let's

04:26:36.560 --> 04:26:39.600
look at what's there but let's see let's look at what's there like have you seen

04:26:39.600 --> 04:26:43.760
fucking low yeah open the hatch like let's like uh uh uh so look at the problems not

04:26:43.760 --> 04:26:47.120
about the problems guys like yeah we are better than that guys you guys know that like we are

04:26:47.120 --> 04:26:51.840
not playing all game let's fucking go guys wake up guys let's go guys let's go let's go guys

04:26:51.840 --> 04:26:53.680
let's go go go go

04:26:55.840 --> 04:26:57.200
dude he sounds stressed

04:26:57.200 --> 04:27:04.200
He sounds stressed. Two-one lead for Shopify Rebellion.

04:27:04.200 --> 04:27:09.200
Romaglio trying to hammer into his team that they need to reset.

04:27:09.200 --> 04:27:15.200
That they're better than this, that they keep getting picked, isolated by members of Shopify Rebellion.

04:27:15.200 --> 04:27:18.200
G2 have another three rounds to try and recover this half.

04:27:18.200 --> 04:27:25.200
Though we have mentioned that benefit of winning round number one on the attack, the standard split here for cafe.

04:27:25.200 --> 04:27:27.200
It's 4-2 for the defense.

04:27:27.200 --> 04:27:29.200
G2 only has to win one more.

04:27:29.200 --> 04:27:34.200
Obviously they want more than that, but they only need one more to reach that typical quota we see.

04:27:38.200 --> 04:27:40.200
Back to Mining we go.

04:27:40.200 --> 04:27:45.200
This was, I believe, one of the only bombsites they were successful at attacking.

04:27:45.200 --> 04:27:50.200
They had an initial rush idea, hoping to spot a gap with Canadian being that only person on site

04:27:50.200 --> 04:27:54.200
to defend against the rush from both way in Mining, but he still won those two picks back to back.

04:27:54.200 --> 04:27:57.940
back-to-back, then they recovered in the middle late round getting a man advantage and

04:27:57.940 --> 04:28:03.940
re-confirming case control. I imagine now at Alamo on this Montane they want to

04:28:03.940 --> 04:28:08.260
prioritize again clearing the ropes early for map control but also having a safety net

04:28:08.260 --> 04:28:12.180
when going in for a plant but there's a lot to counter him here.

04:28:12.180 --> 04:28:16.620
The fan she's to slow down this shield in the overall room to gather more info.

04:28:16.620 --> 04:28:22.580
Three nitro cells in the pocket of the rebellion as well but there being so much soft flooring

04:28:22.580 --> 04:28:26.180
up stairs and Alamow chooses to clear from piano. That could be his death warrant, so

04:28:26.180 --> 04:28:30.540
instead he'll opt to get down below some red stairs to get early map control towards the

04:28:30.540 --> 04:28:31.540
site.

04:28:31.540 --> 04:28:36.940
Stopping already opening up the walls of B. Back on the Ash, the operator that he first

04:28:36.940 --> 04:28:42.380
became known for and all those console montagers and Doki with the opening pick cuts down and

04:28:42.380 --> 04:28:46.620
B. Alamow already going for the plant and there is nothing that the rebellion can do

04:28:46.620 --> 04:28:52.500
to stop it. I say that but then Rexon comes in from the hallway, shuts out both Doki and

04:28:52.500 --> 04:28:56.500
Rocky and Alamo drops the case just as it was about to go down.

04:28:56.500 --> 04:29:02.500
Spoiling on his rotate down brown, caught by Shiko, a man lead now for G2 as it's all up to Surf.

04:29:04.500 --> 04:29:08.500
Beautiful work. Lurk is well from Stompin to make it this 3 versus 1.

04:29:08.500 --> 04:29:16.500
On the fade away kills, Benji can't believe this Harrison. It's now 1v2 and Stompin has case control.

04:29:16.500 --> 04:29:19.500
There's Invalid of the player, but from Nubut Shiko!

04:29:20.500 --> 04:29:28.000
Zero pressure, shuts him down with the DMR, and there's the two default rounds we were hoping two could find on their attack.

04:29:28.000 --> 04:29:36.000
And again, they do it on the first round of the new rotation, so there is more than just a small opportunity for more.

04:29:36.000 --> 04:29:42.700
G2 would love to get this 3-3-1 half here against Shopify Rebellion, as we talked about when this game first started.

04:29:42.700 --> 04:29:49.740
Shot of Fire Valley in despite cafe and in the tournament as a whole being more of a 6040 split.

04:29:49.740 --> 04:29:53.420
Shot of Fire Valley are very much 50-50 on this map.

04:29:53.420 --> 04:29:58.540
So you would think that one more round from G2 would at worst guarantee overtime.

04:30:02.060 --> 04:30:05.340
Only time will tell, but a well needed round nonetheless for G2.

04:30:05.340 --> 04:30:07.820
I loved how well they were able to play off of each other,

04:30:07.820 --> 04:30:09.820
getting that early pressure into the bomb site,

04:30:09.820 --> 04:30:15.560
the information from Alamo on Montaigne as well, but still having their insurance

04:30:15.560 --> 04:30:20.980
policy, still having the lurk that also caught Rotate's off guard from the rebellion, making

04:30:20.980 --> 04:30:24.700
sure they had a much bigger issue when it came to looking for those trades. They were

04:30:24.700 --> 04:30:30.100
initially successful, off Rex's two kills, but still having Benja and Shiko playing towards

04:30:30.100 --> 04:30:33.940
the chandelier side of the map made it very tricky for rebellion again on those later

04:30:33.940 --> 04:30:38.180
on rotations. We go back down to Reading Room where again it was the Rex and Show getting

04:30:38.180 --> 04:30:44.620
that 3k to keep Rebellion in the lead and he's still having a good game overall.

04:30:44.620 --> 04:30:48.460
Ambi, not as much, a lot more quiet compared to Bank obviously.

04:30:48.460 --> 04:30:52.820
I think what G2 have been doing well in the couple rounds they've won, and even in the

04:30:52.820 --> 04:30:57.860
early round of round two is sitting back and waiting for Shostar Rebellion to do something.

04:30:57.860 --> 04:31:02.580
G2 are playing these attacks a lot more passive, so if the round is a hole a lot more passive,

04:31:02.580 --> 04:31:06.900
then they were on the last map just waiting for someone on the Rebellion to get aggressive

04:31:06.900 --> 04:31:11.300
and overexposed themselves, and the angles G2 are already folding.

04:31:11.300 --> 04:31:14.380
About 30 seconds in now as G2 starts to mount this clear,

04:31:14.380 --> 04:31:16.740
the Reading Room fireplace is the site.

04:31:16.740 --> 04:31:18.700
Slap try and take away this top floor presence

04:31:18.700 --> 04:31:19.740
from Shopify Rebellion.

04:31:19.740 --> 04:31:21.340
Spoilery already taking a little bit of damage,

04:31:21.340 --> 04:31:23.260
takes the repel by stomping.

04:31:23.260 --> 04:31:27.540
Lionscan goes out, spotting two members of Shopify Rebellion.

04:31:27.540 --> 04:31:29.540
Stil these defenders upstairs hold firm.

04:31:29.540 --> 04:31:32.260
Spoil trapped in the corner, gets out,

04:31:32.260 --> 04:31:35.780
but can't make it past the rotate.

04:31:35.780 --> 04:31:43.180
Drone giving away that he's down as well only a matter of time before G2 go hunting the twit throne to finish off spoilt

04:31:43.180 --> 04:31:45.180
You don't see that one every day Harrison

04:31:45.800 --> 04:31:48.340
Officially taking the lead and detecting rexon on two

04:31:50.580 --> 04:31:56.020
He was looking to shoot the twitch turn and just dies to Shiko now G2 have the lead by three bodies

04:31:56.020 --> 04:32:01.700
I thought it was just funny, but it was big brain and now G2 for the three-man lead

04:32:01.700 --> 04:32:30.500
And finally that team synergy coming alive for G2, so much emphasis on just hunting down

04:32:30.500 --> 04:32:31.540
the initial Rome.

04:32:31.540 --> 04:32:34.940
Swaype had no chance of getting out of that position.

04:32:34.940 --> 04:32:36.780
He was cut off from the hell window,

04:32:36.780 --> 04:32:39.340
cut off all the way by Humidor and another player,

04:32:39.340 --> 04:32:42.740
not too far behind, gathering information for G2

04:32:42.740 --> 04:32:43.660
to shut him down.

04:32:43.660 --> 04:32:45.220
Rexon as well, denied of a trade,

04:32:45.220 --> 04:32:47.580
that Twitch throne, kind of baiting him in Shiko,

04:32:47.580 --> 04:32:50.260
taking full advantage of it.

04:32:50.260 --> 04:32:52.060
You've got those two bodies to your favor.

04:32:52.060 --> 04:32:54.140
Rebellion now forced to go for some aggressive picks

04:32:54.140 --> 04:32:56.180
and it doesn't net their way.

04:32:56.180 --> 04:32:59.260
There for the first time, well, I guess excluding round of one,

04:32:59.260 --> 04:33:00.420
because they were in the lead 1-0.

04:33:00.420 --> 04:33:03.020
They're now back in the lead since round number one

04:33:03.020 --> 04:33:04.060
concluded Harrison.

04:33:04.060 --> 04:33:07.220
And we're heading back down to Double Kitchen.

04:33:07.220 --> 04:33:11.820
So far, G2 have been incredibly solid on their own clear.

04:33:11.820 --> 04:33:14.380
This has been the only site they've yet to win just yet,

04:33:14.380 --> 04:33:17.300
however, and it was against a very similar lineup

04:33:17.300 --> 04:33:18.860
to what the Rebellion are bringing now.

04:33:18.860 --> 04:33:20.180
There's no more Val'Karin said.

04:33:20.180 --> 04:33:22.100
Ambius on the Fenrir.

04:33:22.100 --> 04:33:24.820
They'd be just adding extra stall potential

04:33:24.820 --> 04:33:28.380
to make sure that G2 can't just simply enter the map for free

04:33:28.380 --> 04:33:33.380
and try to work those coordinated entry picks that have netted them two rounds in a row on their attack.

04:33:35.380 --> 04:33:40.380
We talked about the fact that, you know, when ambi is dropping 21, canadian does not need to get kills.

04:33:40.380 --> 04:33:43.380
You know who rebellion do rely on to get kills?

04:33:43.380 --> 04:33:45.380
Is it ambi? Is it spoi?

04:33:45.380 --> 04:33:49.380
Yeah, but I was also going to say spoi to combine 1 for 9 right now.

04:33:49.380 --> 04:33:55.380
Spoi coming into this game, the second highest rated remaining player in the tournament.

04:33:55.380 --> 04:33:58.060
and second, I believe, to NJR.

04:33:58.060 --> 04:34:01.940
We talked about his tweet, how he did not have a good kickoff.

04:34:01.940 --> 04:34:04.580
The opening event of the year was not time to him,

04:34:04.580 --> 04:34:09.460
but so far in Salt Lake City, he has been a massive part

04:34:09.460 --> 04:34:11.460
of Shopify rebellion success, and they

04:34:11.460 --> 04:34:14.740
are going to need him if they want to succeed on that number two

04:34:14.740 --> 04:34:17.620
and take this before we go to the winner.

04:34:17.620 --> 04:34:21.260
G2 now a different lineup slightly as well.

04:34:21.260 --> 04:34:24.060
The Blackbeard to help get early map control on the top floor,

04:34:24.060 --> 04:34:31.160
Allowing for Stompin to get those boogie drones on the ground creating the vert pressure upstairs to try and signal a plant

04:34:31.160 --> 04:34:36.680
That's where the capitol and gridlock are going to come into play creating space for their teammates in the bomb site

04:34:36.760 --> 04:34:40.960
To get that diffuser on the ground cutting off crucial lines of sight

04:34:40.960 --> 04:34:46.860
There'd be no warden play either. There isn't a lot to counter these capitol smokes besides the limaggots

04:34:46.860 --> 04:34:49.760
We'll be catching them and displacing them in this round

04:34:49.760 --> 04:34:55.440
but zero time wasted for G2 on this vert, noticing the lack of a roam similar to round number three,

04:34:55.440 --> 04:34:59.280
and now Rebellion forced to readjust to avoid these angles above them.

04:35:00.000 --> 04:35:04.480
About half the round remaining. G2 are making pretty good time now they've got the vert done.

04:35:05.280 --> 04:35:10.240
Basically nobody from Shopify Rebellion inside the site itself. Everyone else just next to it and

04:35:10.240 --> 04:35:16.960
there's the double swing from Flash. Ami takes down Doki as the shock from the shield. Guard breaks

04:35:16.960 --> 04:35:19.900
Blackbeard, Doki maybe overextending a little bit.

04:35:19.900 --> 04:35:24.260
No help from his team, a result in an opening kill for the defense.

04:35:24.260 --> 04:35:27.820
Canadian backing off towards garage, just waiting for this freezer drop.

04:35:27.820 --> 04:35:29.500
That's sure to come from G2.

04:35:29.500 --> 04:35:31.220
There's two members setting up for it.

04:35:31.220 --> 04:35:33.060
Stomping, trying to push his way down.

04:35:33.060 --> 04:35:36.340
White Stairs and isolate Canadian, but now staring at the shield.

04:35:36.340 --> 04:35:37.900
Daring this clash to peek.

04:35:37.900 --> 04:35:39.620
Ambique could come in to support.

04:35:39.620 --> 04:35:42.300
There's so many bodies trying to hunt down Stomping.

04:35:42.300 --> 04:35:43.620
Canadian can't do it though.

04:35:43.620 --> 04:35:46.180
Alibou cleans him up with the asphyxiating bolt.

04:35:46.180 --> 04:35:50.660
And now G2 have started to cement their place in the bombsite through Freezer.

04:35:50.660 --> 04:35:52.820
Alamo crouching and gets him behind Bunker.

04:35:52.820 --> 04:35:54.580
Here comes Surf with the Pico!

04:35:54.580 --> 04:35:57.820
Shots down the case carrier and it's good for two!

04:35:57.820 --> 04:36:03.740
Stumped it down the last man standing in a one versus four as Rexon.

04:36:03.740 --> 04:36:07.620
And Surf once again put this team on their back.

04:36:10.980 --> 04:36:14.620
And Surf, it was a mighty gamble to go for,

04:36:14.620 --> 04:36:18.060
But when rolling the dice, you know it's worse to just lose your life

04:36:18.060 --> 04:36:20.540
than have a play go down in that position.

04:36:20.540 --> 04:36:24.780
The half is tied and the coach is brought back out once again for comms.

04:36:54.780 --> 04:36:57.660
to cover, to avoid the clash that we did there.

04:36:57.660 --> 04:36:59.300
So she gets to play like a crab,

04:36:59.300 --> 04:37:01.140
she gets to take the hit from there,

04:37:01.140 --> 04:37:02.500
and they have to have them on to push hit you

04:37:02.500 --> 04:37:03.460
because they have better bombs,

04:37:03.460 --> 04:37:04.860
just like you are my best, okay?

04:37:04.860 --> 04:37:07.420
So like they don't have traps, they don't have.

04:37:07.420 --> 04:37:08.740
And what do we do?

04:37:08.740 --> 04:37:09.980
Can everyone just talk about, okay?

04:37:09.980 --> 04:37:11.220
Like if this is not working,

04:37:11.220 --> 04:37:13.140
like let's run like five traps on them,

04:37:13.140 --> 04:37:14.980
like close the other windows,

04:37:14.980 --> 04:37:16.940
like put this in the game,

04:37:16.940 --> 04:37:19.900
like let's take the first one, okay?

04:37:19.900 --> 04:37:21.740
Okay, good.

04:37:21.740 --> 04:37:23.420
What do you want to do first?

04:37:23.420 --> 04:37:29.020
I think it's out of the ring guys like the hall was clear just like a goya friend of

04:37:29.020 --> 04:37:34.940
off for mining they get on the top every force of the back wall they played a mute there

04:37:34.940 --> 04:37:39.420
the word was playing skylight so beware doki is always going to be starting like skylight

04:37:39.420 --> 04:37:44.500
or shaco area pulse was in train and dining kade was kade is also playing in that area

04:37:44.500 --> 04:37:49.020
maziz red shaco loves to play like the maziz red if we're looking for white gaps I want

04:37:49.020 --> 04:37:53.140
you to be careful because alamount and I think pulse could be a third band if you want to

04:37:53.140 --> 04:37:59.860
I want to do some of these on me. I want to do so this because that was banned in that match and I'm pretty sure they spam run it

04:38:03.260 --> 04:38:06.780
That's fine. Okay, so again if we're looking for those white gaps

04:38:06.780 --> 04:38:12.340
I just want you to be careful because Alma likes to sit and like dining and basically pulse down onto white and like the hall there

04:38:12.620 --> 04:38:14.620
So just be aware of that

04:38:14.620 --> 04:38:16.620
for mining again

04:38:16.620 --> 04:38:23.920
Benji just likes to again placed under with C4 and again, they're gonna play under skylight check out like it's very default setup

04:38:23.920 --> 04:38:26.080
So just make sure we're prepared for react

04:38:27.880 --> 04:38:33.360
G2 Romalia warning his players about the shield play from Shopify rebellion trying to

04:38:33.880 --> 04:38:40.760
Hammer the point home that they need to be holding vert they need to play traps again with how fast Shopify rebellion like to be if G2 forced

04:38:40.760 --> 04:38:45.720
them through a maze of utility it will be sure to slow them down on the other side Shopify rebellion

04:38:45.720 --> 04:38:49.880
banning out the soulless we heard Canadians saying that instead of the Izami he wanted to take her

04:38:49.880 --> 04:38:56.040
out instead because G2 do run this operator a lot they even contemplated banning the pulse to

04:38:56.040 --> 04:39:04.440
and are we going to see two more information bans? Not really I mean Monty kind of okay no more

04:39:04.440 --> 04:39:08.440
utility so that's going to be Shopify rebellion just making those breaches a little bit easier

04:39:08.440 --> 04:39:13.320
but so far, especially in that first half, there was tons, tons of information getting made, right?

04:39:13.320 --> 04:39:19.400
No solos, no pulse, demo, snake, Val'kari, here on the other side, both teams are going to have a little more info available.

04:39:22.040 --> 04:39:27.000
Again, good on Rebellion for tying up the half as they go towards the attacking side now.

04:39:28.200 --> 04:39:33.240
G2, of course, emphasizing different information operators, with there being a solos band instead,

04:39:33.240 --> 04:39:39.560
Alomau is now on the pulse, which the rebellion did warn their teammates about during the halftime phase.

04:39:39.560 --> 04:39:42.080
We've got some other traps emphasized.

04:39:42.080 --> 04:39:47.680
Doki is on the thorn, Shiko with Legion, and Rebellion as well.

04:39:47.680 --> 04:39:52.840
Not having to worry about that, Cade on the board as well is going to make hard breach significantly easier,

04:39:52.840 --> 04:39:56.240
much faster for them to open up these power angles.

04:39:56.240 --> 04:40:02.240
And if a mirror is on the board, you typically see the Cade in synergy with her to have those mirror windows alive for a lot longer.

04:40:02.240 --> 04:40:09.600
Now that is an issue as well, but the shields something that G2 were prepared for with this composition will now be in place

04:40:09.760 --> 04:40:12.800
Canadian on the re-pick goes for his coveted blackbeard

04:40:13.840 --> 04:40:16.760
Again, there's that shield play that Romalia was talking about

04:40:18.320 --> 04:40:21.040
Blackbeard, of course, we did see in the previous round

04:40:22.240 --> 04:40:27.280
Instantaneously punished by the clash now G2 aren't bringing her but again, they've got the traps

04:40:27.280 --> 04:40:32.280
they've got Legion and Thorn who are sure to be a Thorn in the side of Plady.

04:40:32.280 --> 04:40:36.280
I don't get it. I don't get it. Alright.

04:40:38.280 --> 04:40:46.280
G2 also have the pulse. Alamount instead of Solus will be continuously scanning on this heartbeat sensor to make sure he knows exactly where Shopify Rebellion are coming from.

04:40:46.280 --> 04:40:51.280
He's also got two C4s available to him, one in his pocket, one in Fengen Masters.

04:40:51.280 --> 04:40:54.940
and you can see shop of our million obviously want to clear the top floor

04:40:54.940 --> 04:40:57.280
they've got the black beer and the lion for the clear

04:40:57.280 --> 04:41:00.520
spoiled to shut down the staircase once they have control and then we'll see

04:41:00.520 --> 04:41:05.040
ambi do away with the ceiling above the bomb site

04:41:06.040 --> 04:41:10.680
Razorbloom got there from Canadians and actually till now off the board as he

04:41:10.680 --> 04:41:16.280
works his way in through bar avoiding this test from piano is the best outcome

04:41:16.280 --> 04:41:20.680
to keep this shield alive as a lion's game will now go off allowing war map

04:41:20.680 --> 04:41:24.760
control to be established here for the rebellion but this gives a lot of time for G2 to also

04:41:24.760 --> 04:41:29.480
adjust and figure out how much emphasis is going into the top floor clear. It's only

04:41:29.480 --> 04:41:34.520
Canadian as the Rome falls off that can now allow for the the boogie drains to come in here from ambi.

04:41:35.720 --> 04:41:40.520
Like we see that soon as again the staircases now being locked down by sporting we try to see a

04:41:40.520 --> 04:41:46.600
cheeky uh cheeky push-up from Stomp in there but he does not net a kill. Train hatch now falling

04:41:46.600 --> 04:41:50.360
going to expose Alamow a little bit more, but you can see that at least for now no one's

04:41:50.360 --> 04:41:54.800
pointing directly on his hatch. Rexon could be an easy victim for a C4 as he's standing

04:41:54.800 --> 04:41:59.240
still droning right now. Alamow still on the cardiac sensor trying to see if he's going

04:41:59.240 --> 04:42:03.280
to stay there. Oh, I forgot that's a hard floor. That's on me. I didn't realize he was on that

04:42:03.280 --> 04:42:08.400
side of the wall. So now Alamow's got a C4 prep, maybe? Made some vert there with a shot.

04:42:08.400 --> 04:42:12.800
I'm expecting someone to go through that rotate, but 50 seconds left to go and Abellion now

04:42:12.800 --> 04:42:21.800
Now rotating outside, they've got ace on this mining wall, maybe to challenge Shaco, but he gets past two center angles, keeping the life for just an extra split.

04:42:21.800 --> 04:42:30.800
They're only dodging those positions to keep us at a five versus five, but again, all this pressure upstairs is making it such a nightmare to play directly in train.

04:42:30.800 --> 04:42:37.800
35 seconds left, going G2, are still five strong. This is going to be a difficult exit for Shopify rebellion.

04:42:37.800 --> 04:42:42.480
gets the first kill out of Doki, but Floyd is immediately traded back as Benjamaster lines up to

04:42:42.480 --> 04:42:49.560
a man's advantage now for G2. Alamow also in kitchen playing for the C4. A one-for-one trade goes

04:42:49.560 --> 04:42:54.960
out. Rexon abdating the nitro cell. It's just him and Ambi against three. Spotting Malaysian,

04:42:54.960 --> 04:42:59.360
taking him down. Ten seconds left and someone's got to pick up the case and start planting. Now

04:42:59.360 --> 04:43:04.840
it's a 1v2 for Alamow and he's not playing for the first. He's gonna try and retake up White.

04:43:04.840 --> 04:43:11.440
Amby covering Rexon as the play goes down and now both attackers can start to fall back

04:43:11.440 --> 04:43:14.200
but they'll play the aggressive position just holding this cross here.

04:43:14.200 --> 04:43:18.760
Pistol in hand, not good for Alamow and Shopify Rebellion take the lead.

04:43:18.760 --> 04:43:29.840
Reading them like a book Harrison the halftime call from the coach expecting the pulse rebellion

04:43:29.840 --> 04:43:34.000
were prepared for it. They dodged the nitro cell. That was the win condition left for

04:43:34.000 --> 04:43:39.440
G2 at that disadvantage. They readjust the plant position. They forced the pulse to come

04:43:39.440 --> 04:43:44.640
back upstairs and they're waiting with a man advantage. Great cut off by Pillar as well

04:43:44.640 --> 04:43:50.440
by Ambi to at least get that advantage initially and secure a very straightforward plan. For

04:43:50.440 --> 04:43:55.680
Rebellion as well, the initial clear upstairs went by so seamlessly. It felt like G2 were

04:43:55.680 --> 04:43:59.800
terrified of trying to clear out against Canadian on the Blackbeard despite there being

04:43:59.800 --> 04:44:03.100
No one directly behind him to play for his contact.

04:44:03.100 --> 04:44:05.260
Instead, Rebellion were waiting outside.

04:44:05.260 --> 04:44:06.940
They didn't want to lose any initial picks.

04:44:06.940 --> 04:44:09.700
They wanted to keep the gridlock and ram intact for the Vert

04:44:09.700 --> 04:44:12.420
and flank denial, which worked like a charm.

04:44:12.420 --> 04:44:14.300
They had plenty of time to set up for Vert pressure, which

04:44:14.300 --> 04:44:16.300
netted them a lot of success in the mid-round.

04:44:16.300 --> 04:44:20.180
And site control, forcing back G2 to go for the wing con

04:44:20.180 --> 04:44:23.500
of Alamo on the pulse, which again, they were expecting.

04:44:23.500 --> 04:44:26.900
They were ready for it, and they denied it.

04:44:26.900 --> 04:44:28.980
But then Rexon and Ambi coming in.

04:44:28.980 --> 04:44:31.900
There's the kill from Rexon and then Ambie with the perfect coverage.

04:44:31.900 --> 04:44:36.860
Stopping, stomping from walking up red and Alamo obviously unable to deny from below

04:44:36.860 --> 04:44:41.460
because Rexon moved on to the hard floor for the first time since round three.

04:44:41.820 --> 04:44:47.260
Shopify rebellion hold the lead despite Spoyt being 0 and 6 right now.

04:44:47.260 --> 04:44:54.860
And you have to imagine he has been so consistently dominant throughout this entire tournament so far.

04:44:54.900 --> 04:44:57.860
It's only a matter of time before he wakes up.

04:44:57.860 --> 04:45:01.260
And if Shopify or Ravelli are doing this,

04:45:01.260 --> 04:45:03.980
with them basically having no contribution on the scoreboard,

04:45:03.980 --> 04:45:06.540
how good are they gonna look once Twink gets activated?

04:45:07.860 --> 04:45:09.340
All the time we'll tell,

04:45:09.340 --> 04:45:12.180
the RRU to try and keep these Selmas intact

04:45:12.180 --> 04:45:14.300
will still be destroyed as you can shoot through them,

04:45:14.300 --> 04:45:15.460
Alamow.

04:45:15.460 --> 04:45:17.140
For the first entry of round number eight,

04:45:17.140 --> 04:45:18.340
down goes the ace,

04:45:18.340 --> 04:45:20.620
but at least those Selmas got deployed

04:45:20.620 --> 04:45:21.780
to open up the prep wall,

04:45:21.780 --> 04:45:24.140
to open up the single wall from Small Bake

04:45:24.140 --> 04:45:26.180
looking into large bakery.

04:45:26.180 --> 04:45:31.380
still angles for trades and that's where Valiant finds Ambion this look from garage shuts down Benja

04:45:31.380 --> 04:45:37.860
but those Vulcan packs still deployed during the prep phase will provide value and that final minute marker is the rebellion

04:45:38.180 --> 04:45:41.060
Based off their line-ups. They really want to emphasize getting in bakery

04:45:41.060 --> 04:45:45.780
But g2 were doing such a great job at denying them shaco and doki both holding onto this position

04:45:45.940 --> 04:45:51.060
Denying the rebellion any control here in bakery as shaco repositions and carpet

04:45:51.060 --> 04:45:58.300
Rebellion maybe now looking for a different angle seeing that they can't really get themselves in you see ambi outside reception

04:45:59.060 --> 04:46:01.500
Rexon also rotating over towards white

04:46:01.940 --> 04:46:09.580
Each player from the attack currently split off from the rest and now repositioning over towards small big rexon joining Canadian back at

04:46:09.700 --> 04:46:14.740
Bakery door C4 goes out though and it is perfect from Doki ambi with a quick trade

04:46:14.740 --> 04:46:20.660
It's still a one-man advantage for G2 the rebellion we're able to fight out of a two-three disadvantage just last round

04:46:20.660 --> 04:46:22.660
Can they do it again as Andy?

04:46:27.160 --> 04:46:33.780
He's good for three kills he and rexson has been so damn good and now G2 might be sweating a little bit

04:46:34.660 --> 04:46:41.460
Two versus two against the biggest frackers of the rebellion right now and 50 seconds left for intel and look at the utility left

04:46:41.460 --> 04:46:45.820
from Rebellion. They've got two smoke bolts and pockety in piece and an ice of

04:46:45.820 --> 04:46:49.820
that futility, but Alamo, a well-timed swing gets rid of Ambien. Now it's just

04:46:49.820 --> 04:46:52.900
Rexon in the one versus one, but he takes down Stomp and does he have any

04:46:52.900 --> 04:46:57.120
information on the Arunis position? He's since worked her way up towards Small

04:46:57.120 --> 04:47:01.300
Bank. Rexon may be aware of this. He's peeking the right angle. Rotates his way

04:47:01.300 --> 04:47:09.020
into site. Lit up to one HP, but Alamo is better in this one. The IGL ties the game

04:47:09.020 --> 04:47:17.980
for G2 by the skin of their teeth. G2 tie us once again off an incredible entry department

04:47:17.980 --> 04:47:23.500
and keeping Bakery control for over a minute and a half. Killing Smoit early, keeping him

04:47:23.500 --> 04:47:28.380
unactivated for the rebellion, forcing the trade from Ambia across the map. It was a

04:47:28.380 --> 04:47:33.100
good lurk, but the adjustment had to be made as they're still contesting for Bakery, keeping

04:47:33.100 --> 04:47:36.860
someone directly in that position against the single wall. And that's another kill for G2

04:47:36.860 --> 04:47:49.660
and a nitro cell getting rid of the ROU projectors, which would have been so helpful at denying those long-range lines of sight that G2 had at slowing down and denying this push from Bakery.

04:47:49.660 --> 04:48:05.100
Wow, that was a nasty shot there from Shiko. Although Rebellion had a good job of baiting out the Legion here, with Andy attempting to ball that goo mine and just going back to being gone off, it wasn't enough as G2 just kept upping the ante for those picks.

04:48:05.100 --> 04:48:11.260
We now see Reading Room in play for the ninth defense of Kafe with potential favor from them.

04:48:11.260 --> 04:48:15.740
We've got Oryx back in play, which I can't remember the last time I've seen him on Kafe specifically.

04:48:15.740 --> 04:48:22.940
This is a very interesting op, maybe used to counter the shields, but there are none in this composition picked by Shopify.

04:48:22.940 --> 04:48:28.540
Yeah, I think it's a similar situation to Bank while Kafe is not quite as large as Bank is.

04:48:28.540 --> 04:48:33.420
It can be just as if not more vertical, which like you mentioned, the Oryx can jump up

04:48:33.420 --> 04:48:35.880
There's hatches for really fast rotation.

04:48:35.880 --> 04:48:40.020
It also allows him to completely circumnavigate the grip lock

04:48:40.020 --> 04:48:43.320
that's going to display because those are going to be placed on those staircases.

04:48:43.320 --> 04:48:45.420
You don't need stairs if you're Oryx.

04:48:45.420 --> 04:48:48.720
And I think it's just he has the added benefit of being in the counter to the shield.

04:48:48.720 --> 04:48:51.520
That Shopify rebellion do like to bring us just this round.

04:48:51.520 --> 04:48:53.020
Just like on bank, actually.

04:48:53.020 --> 04:48:53.820
They don't have that.

04:48:53.820 --> 04:48:58.220
So we won't see that interaction from the Oryx surf on the IQ

04:48:58.220 --> 04:49:01.920
because they saw the Mazi and the pulse being played.

04:49:01.920 --> 04:49:09.800
So he'll be able to keep almost constant track of Alamo's position who's currently playing underneath the extension to support the deformation

04:49:10.360 --> 04:49:14.000
The shotgun to set up for a nitrocell from that main window

04:49:14.720 --> 04:49:18.400
It'd be a very deadly combination of G2 play their cards right

04:49:19.120 --> 04:49:21.120
Still the rebellion taking their time

04:49:21.760 --> 04:49:24.600
This round going from top to bottom on the map

04:49:24.600 --> 04:49:32.240
Spoigt creating for and some pressure looking into Piano and there's still nitro cells at the ready for G2 once they have the initial information

04:49:32.240 --> 04:49:35.360
All this cardiac sensor, but they don't know about spoigt unfortunately though

04:49:35.520 --> 04:49:41.280
He misses the opportunity for the kill keeping his tie out of five versus five as he pushes deeper in the building

04:49:41.280 --> 04:49:48.500
No harm no foul though. He hasn't lost his life and Doki looks to retake into Piano Canadian the opening pick on the Shaco

04:49:48.500 --> 04:49:53.540
Rexon very quickly traded back by Doki the player who I just called out was

04:49:53.540 --> 04:49:59.660
retaking into Piano so maybe Spoyt missing out on that frag came back to

04:49:59.660 --> 04:50:05.220
punish Shopify rebellion. Doki has since fallen back though down to bottom white

04:50:05.220 --> 04:50:09.140
everyone off the top floor for G2 and now there's a minute for Shopify

04:50:09.140 --> 04:50:13.380
rebellion to get this bird down from Ambi and try to set up for this execute.

04:50:13.380 --> 04:50:17.780
They know about the position from Piano maybe expecting this hatch to be opened

04:50:17.780 --> 04:50:20.060
up could be a great bait to set up

04:50:20.060 --> 04:50:21.660
Benja with a nitro-cell now as you

04:50:21.660 --> 04:50:23.180
hear that shorty in the background

04:50:23.180 --> 04:50:24.980
working more angles.

04:50:24.980 --> 04:50:26.420
The Boogie Drone deployed as well,

04:50:26.420 --> 04:50:27.900
opening up Reading Room.

04:50:27.900 --> 04:50:30.140
It looks to be the main execute point

04:50:30.140 --> 04:50:31.940
for the rebellion, as they now have

04:50:31.940 --> 04:50:33.300
the angles to cover this plant.

04:50:33.300 --> 04:50:35.700
And the main advantage of Canadian this round

04:50:35.700 --> 04:50:37.380
stopped and gone as well.

04:50:37.380 --> 04:50:39.700
This could be a seamless attack from rebellion

04:50:39.700 --> 04:50:42.900
so long as they keep that main advantage to trade.

04:50:42.900 --> 04:50:45.380
By Spoy finally entering the lobby,

04:50:45.380 --> 04:50:50.780
this map leaves just Alomau a similar position alone as Pulse.

04:50:50.780 --> 04:50:57.380
Canadian two kills on that entry and Spoight waking up. Good for yet another

04:50:57.380 --> 04:51:02.620
kill. Three kills for Spoight. We talked about it just the round prior. We know

04:51:02.620 --> 04:51:07.580
how good he is. It was only a matter of time and how good are the rebellion

04:51:07.580 --> 04:51:12.700
gonna be in the remainder of this map if Spoight can keep it up. The one round

04:51:12.700 --> 04:51:17.580
where it mattered most. Although Spoit lost the entry initially, missing an opportunity from Piano.

04:51:17.580 --> 04:51:24.220
He worked three different picks that tipped the tide in their favor versus G2. The initial trade

04:51:24.220 --> 04:51:30.220
upstairs, the flank watch denial with those gridlock tracks providing so much info throughout the

04:51:30.220 --> 04:51:36.620
round and closing it as Alamo attempts to rush him with the pistol. It isn't enough as Spoit still

04:51:36.620 --> 04:51:42.060
holds white stairs. We go to bar and cocktail potentially for G2. An interesting pick perhaps,

04:51:42.700 --> 04:51:50.500
Dipping in to round number 10, again, given the fact that this bombsite is so challenging to contest against the window rappel,

04:51:50.500 --> 04:51:54.500
positions held by most attacking teams when dealing with foreign cocktail,

04:51:54.500 --> 04:52:00.000
it'll be a really tough spot to get themselves out of. Maybe instead emphasizing on playing off the bombsite,

04:52:00.000 --> 04:52:05.900
they still have a big roam presence with that foreign shotgun. They've got Shiko on the mausoleum once again.

04:52:05.900 --> 04:52:07.900
Do we see around this round perhaps?

04:52:08.540 --> 04:52:13.180
Maybe, but instead it could just be it might just be a rotation over towards humidor

04:52:13.540 --> 04:52:17.600
Working off the back of these castles barricades to deny a lot of those longer lines of sight

04:52:20.380 --> 04:52:25.820
It would be interesting to see how G2 hold on the cigar they got the immunity gate on the castle on the double

04:52:25.820 --> 04:52:29.860
I feel like it's been a hot minute since we've seen a

04:52:29.860 --> 04:52:31.860
a

04:52:31.860 --> 04:52:37.940
Actual like a proper cigar with the castle and everything. Yeah, they don't have the new it's now

04:52:37.940 --> 04:52:40.420
I'll not shotgun instead with the razor-gleeves for shields

04:52:40.500 --> 04:52:45.060
Yeah, I feel like the mute is such a mainstay of this setting up the jammers inside

04:52:45.580 --> 04:52:50.060
Inside cigar shop making sure that I don't even go in playing with the shotgun

04:52:50.060 --> 04:52:57.180
But Ambi is also starting to be activated Shaco goes down first and G2 lose one of their two top fraggers

04:52:57.180 --> 04:53:03.740
That early drone info allows for the lion scan to go off and stopping Shiko dead in his tracks giving

04:53:03.740 --> 04:53:09.420
Ambi the entry of great call made early from the Rebellions to start this round on the right foot.

04:53:09.980 --> 04:53:14.140
Ambi getting a potential cut off for the late round as well destroying a castle barricade and

04:53:14.140 --> 04:53:19.740
another with his second frag grenade now readjusting great value gathered early on

04:53:20.300 --> 04:53:24.300
for the rebellion as they begin to look towards this double wall again there being no mute jammer

04:53:24.300 --> 04:53:30.060
There's nothing to deny this main breach leading into ticket to be opened up. They could try to avoid Alomar

04:53:30.300 --> 04:53:34.220
With the thorn shotgun maybe have a Canadian throw this frag grenade to push him out

04:53:34.220 --> 04:53:37.100
But instead he'll over commit and try to look for a kill under the hatch

04:53:38.780 --> 04:53:40.220
It's a gamble

04:53:40.220 --> 04:53:45.860
If he succeeds we'll be calling him a genius. If he fails we'll be calling him a moron. It's one of these 50-50 plays

04:53:47.060 --> 04:53:50.980
No one from the rebellion peaking it just yet though and of course Alomar with no C4

04:53:50.980 --> 04:53:53.700
Can't just lob one onto the roof to get a cheeky kill

04:53:54.300 --> 04:54:04.300
Kading and Spoyd so tantalizingly close to this. Now the Doe could be called. It's going out. They have to know the Nade forces him back. There's no peek and Alomau gets away.

04:54:05.300 --> 04:54:20.300
Maybe a little too passive there from the rebellion, but regardless, still a man up, not dying to Alomau under the red hatch. And Serp on a gap hit, maybe walking down through White, he could try to trade stop in here as he's now stuck on the open doorway. And he has to take this fight to recover case.

04:54:20.300 --> 04:54:23.900
Here comes the Rotate from Uemai, but serves misses his opportunity.

04:54:25.900 --> 04:54:34.500
The repeat though successful, so hits the bag, knowing that his team is just three kills away from being on match point.

04:54:34.500 --> 04:54:41.140
Hacking the cams, giving his team even more information. Should there be defaults up? Should there be VPs?

04:54:41.140 --> 04:54:44.740
Rebellion will have it all, and Spoyt gets yet another kill.

04:54:44.740 --> 04:54:49.060
Doki, feeling the pressure up white, shot comes down to Doki.

04:54:49.060 --> 04:54:54.900
Now only a one-man lead for the Rebellion with 45 seconds left, though they have plenty of time to play with.

04:54:56.180 --> 04:54:59.680
And now Alomar looking to assist his teammate at Toki, looks for the play.

04:54:59.680 --> 04:55:01.680
And Wenzel, are you kidding me?

04:55:02.020 --> 04:55:05.860
The start of a lifetime to keep G2's hopes on Kafei alive.

04:55:06.260 --> 04:55:09.140
Tying us two versus two, but it's in Wrexen.

04:55:09.460 --> 04:55:14.260
Double the distance for the ace, shot, then out here on the board, he's got Wenzel, and he won't!

04:55:14.260 --> 04:55:19.600
It's just Waxin now and he meets the same fate from Alamow!

04:55:19.600 --> 04:55:25.200
Five to five as G2 denies serious point for the rebellion.

04:55:25.200 --> 04:55:31.400
And then you've looked at G2, playing Alamow so aggressively under that hatch,

04:55:31.400 --> 04:55:35.240
the rebellion send in the Nade, they send in the Dokudikall,

04:55:35.240 --> 04:55:39.480
but they let him get away and it comes back to bite them,

04:55:39.480 --> 04:55:41.940
Playing inside cigar shot perfectly.

04:55:41.940 --> 04:55:46.220
Hitting like a life shot with the bricks on the CC

04:55:46.220 --> 04:55:48.180
against the player on the rappel.

04:55:48.180 --> 04:55:53.100
And then from there, playing perfectly with the M870.

04:55:53.100 --> 04:55:55.580
Surf maybe.

04:55:55.580 --> 04:55:57.900
I hope he didn't just lever on effect his team.

04:55:57.900 --> 04:55:58.620
Wow.

04:55:58.620 --> 04:55:59.980
Talk about ball knowledge.

04:55:59.980 --> 04:56:00.780
Oh my god.

04:56:00.780 --> 04:56:02.260
That's a deep pull.

04:56:02.260 --> 04:56:04.180
Shout out lever on wherever he is.

04:56:04.180 --> 04:56:18.660
Double kitchen we go to now for T2. They looked beautiful. Defending this bombsite Harrison,

04:56:18.660 --> 04:56:23.780
they immediately figured out that the rebellion's goal was to try to push into Bakery, get that

04:56:23.780 --> 04:56:29.260
single wall opened up, near out the extension, and push through PrEP to secure a plant with

04:56:29.260 --> 04:56:33.880
the help of the ROU projectors and once again they'll be extending over by the

04:56:33.880 --> 04:56:37.720
bakery side of the map just to initially deny that if things come down to the

04:56:37.720 --> 04:56:42.520
opportunity of it. Rebellion not opting in for a sense this time instead Rexon's

04:56:42.520 --> 04:56:46.880
on the capitao. Canadian with Blitz and a glass in play for the first time of this

04:56:46.880 --> 04:56:50.160
series I believe maybe just trying to throw everything including the kitchen

04:56:50.160 --> 04:56:54.560
sink at this warden but again don't to be is on the perfect option to stop these

04:56:54.560 --> 04:56:59.560
smokes from being a threat while dealing against Glaz's thermal optic.

04:56:59.560 --> 04:57:03.560
When it comes to a smoke battle, though, Glaz does tend to be a little bit stronger than

04:57:03.560 --> 04:57:04.560
Warden.

04:57:04.560 --> 04:57:08.560
Doki has to stand almost perfectly still to get complete use out of those glasses.

04:57:08.560 --> 04:57:13.560
The C4 that went through Bakery's door that killed Canadian last time does not land.

04:57:13.560 --> 04:57:14.560
Now they're one down.

04:57:14.560 --> 04:57:16.560
They've still got two from Spalvin and Benja.

04:57:16.560 --> 04:57:19.560
Here comes the smoke play and serve is good for the opening pick.

04:57:19.560 --> 04:57:24.960
and down goes that pesky bakery player that gave Shopify Rebellion so much trouble last time.

04:57:24.960 --> 04:57:31.000
A much better start here now for Shopify Rebellion as they smoke off the small big doubles.

04:57:31.000 --> 04:57:37.080
Surfer will be armed with holding this position for a long period of time until his teammates can get into bakery.

04:57:37.080 --> 04:57:40.640
Canadian will lead this charge on Blitz. Some damage dealt from the rotate,

04:57:40.640 --> 04:57:44.920
but now they've got control of it pushing through prep. Can G2 slow down this attack?

04:57:44.920 --> 04:57:51.920
Canadian has pushed deep in crab, and it's enough to flush out Stopper, but as he tries to jump through the window, Alamow cuts him down.

04:57:51.920 --> 04:57:57.920
It's a good deal, boys. From G2, even the odds against the Rebellion. Now three on three.

04:57:57.920 --> 04:58:02.920
More smokes come out. Surf gets smoked by Alamow on the pixel.

04:58:02.920 --> 04:58:10.920
The ITL on G2 is trying desperately to keep his team in this game and not allow the Rebellion to be on match point just yet.

04:58:10.920 --> 04:58:13.920
Spoy and Rexon both stuck inside Bakery.

04:58:13.920 --> 04:58:17.920
Benjamaster coming in from Freezer to try and help his team on the site.

04:58:17.920 --> 04:58:22.920
Spoy opening Alamo's ball, will force the Aruni back towards Whiskey Double.

04:58:22.920 --> 04:58:25.920
Rexon recovers the case that was dropped by Canadian in Split.

04:58:25.920 --> 04:58:27.920
He's got to worry about the player and coach.

04:58:27.920 --> 04:58:30.920
There's so many angles, he lights up Shike a little bit,

04:58:30.920 --> 04:58:33.920
but takes back a lot of punishment himself.

04:58:33.920 --> 04:58:36.920
Spoy trying to cover his teammate from Carthage.

04:58:36.920 --> 04:58:39.920
Flashbang will force the Azami away towards Reception,

04:58:39.920 --> 04:58:45.840
reception, but still, Alamow is jiggling this angle, daring Rexon to push his way in.

04:58:48.240 --> 04:58:54.800
Oh, he's so close. Alamow gathering information. He spots Rexon for a moment, calls it to his

04:58:54.800 --> 04:58:59.440
zombie, more missed shots from both sides, so much wasted time from Shopify or rebellion.

04:58:59.440 --> 04:59:03.360
30 seconds left, they try to get aggressive, though, spoilt. Lurched the pickover by the

04:59:03.360 --> 04:59:08.240
carpet head holes, and now we're on two versus two. Rexon, though, no spots of plant just yet.

04:59:08.240 --> 04:59:10.240
He's so worried about those head holes.

04:59:10.240 --> 04:59:13.240
Spoigt forced to board back out of the bomb site.

04:59:14.240 --> 04:59:17.240
Rexxen pushing deep behind the bomb chassis.

04:59:17.240 --> 04:59:18.740
Halfway through.

04:59:18.740 --> 04:59:20.740
Alamow worried about the player's small bank.

04:59:20.740 --> 04:59:22.240
Is there any chance for them to deny no?

04:59:22.240 --> 04:59:24.240
Spoigt takes off the head of Benjamaster.

04:59:24.240 --> 04:59:26.740
And now Alamow is left with it all to do.

04:59:26.740 --> 04:59:28.240
Lit up to 1 HP.

04:59:28.240 --> 04:59:31.240
Through a bellion, they can almost taste it.

04:59:31.240 --> 04:59:36.240
One bullet will put Alamow in the grave in the Saruni sooner or later.

04:59:36.240 --> 04:59:39.920
will be forced to push into the waiting arms of the attack.

04:59:39.920 --> 04:59:44.880
20 seconds remaining to get both these kills and hop on the case.

04:59:44.880 --> 04:59:47.440
Rexon sitting so passive in prep,

04:59:47.440 --> 04:59:50.640
spoilt just waiting to play off his teammate's contact.

04:59:50.640 --> 04:59:53.360
They are playing this with zero mistakes.

04:59:53.360 --> 04:59:56.000
Even Rexon able to get out of the bombsite.

04:59:56.000 --> 04:59:58.080
There is no chance for Al-Amal.

04:59:58.080 --> 05:00:00.800
Eight seconds left, seven seconds left.

05:00:00.800 --> 05:00:06.080
He's forced on the stick and the rebellion are one away from top four.

05:00:06.240 --> 05:00:23.400
The back-to-back clutch unsuccessful for Alamow Rebellion taking back this lead.

05:00:23.400 --> 05:00:29.600
One round away from overtime for G2 and a second chance to take this series to Lair or

05:00:29.600 --> 05:00:38.240
one round for the Rebellion for the first time in years, getting past the barrier of top 8 at any

05:00:38.240 --> 05:00:44.960
international event that we've seen them perform in for the past several years. It all came down to

05:00:44.960 --> 05:00:50.800
a 2 versus 2 with by the skin of their teeth Rebellion make enough space off of spoi to get

05:00:50.800 --> 05:00:57.920
Rexon on that defuse. You mentioned it Harrenson, when this team has spoi activated how well can

05:00:57.920 --> 05:01:05.840
G2 recover and it hasn't seen to be working out for him two massive rounds that rebellion have one off the back of

05:01:05.840 --> 05:01:12.720
spoits securing a triple kill and getting those trades and it's a reattempt of double kitchen

05:01:12.720 --> 05:01:20.260
I can't really blame them Harrison. This has been one of the best looking sites that G2 have gone for for cafe and the

05:01:20.260 --> 05:01:27.840
rebellion have gone for a near identical attack each time this site has been picked the question will be

05:01:27.920 --> 05:01:34.000
rebellion to try to triple down and go through vaguely or go for a different career this time around.

05:01:35.600 --> 05:01:44.640
John, it hasn't just been a while. They technically have not been in the top four since Copenhagen. Wow.

05:01:44.640 --> 05:01:51.200
When they were the Sonics, which is really not even the same team, the only player still there

05:01:51.200 --> 05:01:57.520
here is Lexen and I guess super as the coach counts too. So for this core, it would be

05:01:57.520 --> 05:02:04.160
a completely new experience to make it into the semifinals and all they have to do is

05:02:04.160 --> 05:02:07.480
repeat the success we just saw on Double Kitchen.

05:02:07.480 --> 05:02:16.440
Once again, orderly info gathered by Shopify and it seems like they'll try to pressure

05:02:16.440 --> 05:02:22.360
out Bakery yet again, but this time having more emphasis over towards the reception side of the map.

05:02:22.360 --> 05:02:27.080
I like this adjustment here from Shopify Rebellion because one of the biggest positions

05:02:27.080 --> 05:02:32.520
that almost saved the round for G2 was not only Red Hall, but Coachek guarding over so much of that

05:02:32.520 --> 05:02:37.000
prep location towards the bottom floor that they now want to deal with this spot early

05:02:37.000 --> 05:02:42.360
to not have the plant be as unsuccessful. Canadian getting his way into Coachek, pressuring this

05:02:42.360 --> 05:02:47.360
This is Ami. Try to go looking to take the fight, but loses it to the old man.

05:02:47.360 --> 05:02:50.360
Canadian puts his team on top.

05:02:52.360 --> 05:02:56.360
A second entry now for Canadian in this series, and a massive one to find.

05:02:56.360 --> 05:03:00.360
Losing co-check control makes the site so challenging.

05:03:00.360 --> 05:03:03.360
That's why Allen wants to reconnect with us now. Back up!

05:03:03.360 --> 05:03:08.360
He punches Canadian in the rear, but it's still traded out for rebellion.

05:03:08.360 --> 05:03:11.960
Here's your Blackbeard, but still have the cutoff nonetheless.

05:03:12.760 --> 05:03:17.560
You've got the user control as well outside as Rex and Espoid, maybe looking to readjust in this round.

05:03:17.560 --> 05:03:22.960
They notice a majority of that Brown position has been falling back up by G2.

05:03:22.960 --> 05:03:25.560
Maybe they could go for Freezer instead for an execute.

05:03:28.560 --> 05:03:30.360
Surf on the carpet cutoff.

05:03:31.860 --> 05:03:35.660
He hears the Doka be calling. He hears Doki inside Bakery.

05:03:35.660 --> 05:03:38.660
Here's the push-up from the shotgun, no from stopping.

05:03:38.660 --> 05:03:40.660
We'll let him finish the shot!

05:03:40.660 --> 05:03:43.660
Serve with a well-deserved team-ag!

05:03:43.660 --> 05:03:46.660
Look at brother fucking, that's it!

05:03:46.660 --> 05:03:49.660
It's all down to Ben Jail, one versus three!

05:03:49.660 --> 05:03:51.660
Shot of the five rebellion!

05:03:51.660 --> 05:03:54.660
Refill against expectations!

05:03:54.660 --> 05:03:56.660
Refill against history!

05:03:56.660 --> 05:04:01.660
And for the first time, crack it into the final four!

05:04:01.660 --> 05:04:10.740
And we as the Lightning could strike twice here in Utah for the rebellion against one

05:04:10.740 --> 05:04:14.980
of the best teams in Europe, it most certainly will today.

05:04:14.980 --> 05:04:18.820
We'll see you in Top 4 Shopify.

05:04:18.820 --> 05:04:22.580
Congrats on the win and G2.

05:04:22.580 --> 05:04:24.140
Better luck next time for them.

05:04:24.140 --> 05:04:29.740
They were one of the best teams coming out of Swiss stage, but they're set home early

05:04:29.740 --> 05:04:30.740
today.

05:04:30.740 --> 05:04:37.740
Harrison, unlike map one, everybody was firing on all cylinders today in map two.

05:04:37.740 --> 05:04:45.740
And that guarantees with DZ Wildcard later today we will have two NA teams in the semifinal bracket.

05:04:45.740 --> 05:04:55.740
What a game from Shopify Rebellion who now, since EWC last year, are 5-0 in maps against Q2.

05:05:00.740 --> 05:05:08.100
and it's and with that being said Harrison I cannot wait to hear what

05:05:08.100 --> 05:05:12.500
Shopify have to say about this post match series and we won't have to wait

05:05:12.500 --> 05:05:20.500
any longer it's Ian talking to spoi hey Salt Lake City rebellion are in the

05:05:20.500 --> 05:05:22.500
I'm so happy to see everyone in

05:05:22.500 --> 05:05:23.500
the crowd here. You guys are

05:05:23.500 --> 05:05:26.500
amazing. Thank you. Quite

05:05:26.500 --> 05:05:28.500
recently, you've been in the

05:05:28.500 --> 05:05:30.500
top four. Last time was way

05:05:30.500 --> 05:05:32.500
back in Berlin. We all know

05:05:32.500 --> 05:05:34.500
what happened there. How proud

05:05:34.500 --> 05:05:36.500
are you to be right back in the

05:05:36.500 --> 05:05:38.500
mix at the top again? It feels

05:05:38.500 --> 05:05:40.500
great to be back, you know,

05:05:40.500 --> 05:05:42.500
with a great team and big

05:05:42.500 --> 05:05:44.500
play flights on today, and I'm

05:05:44.500 --> 05:05:46.500
so happy to see everyone in the

05:05:46.500 --> 05:05:48.500
crowd here. You guys are

05:05:48.500 --> 05:05:55.500
Quite recently you, I guess, addressed some of the haters online who may be questioning your ability.

05:05:55.500 --> 05:05:59.500
Do you feel like this is another dagger to the doubters out there?

05:05:59.500 --> 05:06:03.500
I mean, they love to just, you know, I'm just doing my thing.

05:06:03.500 --> 05:06:05.500
You know, the haters are always a part of it.

05:06:05.500 --> 05:06:09.500
You know, people thought we were like the worst team for some reason, just after like one week.

05:06:09.500 --> 05:06:12.500
And now we are here in top four of the majors, so I'm just happy.

05:06:12.500 --> 05:06:13.500
I'm just very grateful. Thank you.

05:06:13.500 --> 05:06:15.500
You've already mentioned the crowd support.

05:06:15.500 --> 05:06:17.500
You're going to have a ton of it tomorrow in the semifinals.

05:06:17.500 --> 05:06:21.620
You're going up against Twisted Mind undefeated here.

05:06:21.620 --> 05:06:22.900
What do you make of them?

05:06:22.900 --> 05:06:24.140
We're going to beat them, of course.

05:06:24.140 --> 05:06:26.220
They haven't played Shopify yet.

05:06:26.220 --> 05:06:27.220
I love that.

05:06:27.220 --> 05:06:28.420
Spike, congratulations.

05:06:28.420 --> 05:06:30.340
I'll let you go and join the rest of your team.

05:06:30.340 --> 05:06:34.900
One more time for your semifinalists in Shopify Rebellion.

05:06:34.900 --> 05:06:36.500
But now we're going to go to a quick break.

05:06:36.500 --> 05:06:38.660
And when we come back, we've got an all-American,

05:06:38.660 --> 05:06:40.340
North American desk for you.

05:06:40.340 --> 05:06:41.940
Jonah is jumping in the hot speed.

05:06:41.940 --> 05:06:42.780
See you soon.

05:13:45.500 --> 05:13:48.820
Guys, it is so good to be with you here on the desk,

05:13:48.820 --> 05:13:50.580
but we've got to talk about that last game.

05:13:50.580 --> 05:13:52.820
We just witnessed clutch moments left and right,

05:13:52.820 --> 05:13:56.540
and be dropping 21 kills on that very first map.

05:13:56.540 --> 05:13:57.940
Lactic, they could not be touched.

05:13:57.940 --> 05:13:58.780
Yeah, it was ludicrous.

05:13:58.780 --> 05:14:00.180
I mean, we have to look back at some of those rounds,

05:14:00.180 --> 05:14:02.060
because that's what really carried the momentum for them

05:14:02.060 --> 05:14:03.220
to be able to get over this hurdle,

05:14:03.220 --> 05:14:04.900
and especially break into the semifinals.

05:14:04.900 --> 05:14:07.260
We haven't seen that for quite some time from this roster.

05:14:07.260 --> 05:14:09.780
But I mean, again, it's these rounds that really capture

05:14:09.780 --> 05:14:12.820
these moments from these players, specifically in round 11

05:14:12.820 --> 05:14:13.340
right here.

05:14:13.340 --> 05:14:15.580
Just from the gecko, Brooke plays from Serp.

05:14:15.580 --> 05:14:16.780
They get the early round.

05:14:16.780 --> 05:14:18.380
They get the picks going into their favorite.

05:14:18.380 --> 05:14:20.460
But then Starch has slowly fade away from them.

05:14:20.460 --> 05:14:22.940
They start to slowly lose their angle on this map.

05:14:22.940 --> 05:14:25.140
And Doki said, you know, we want to play the rest of the team.

05:14:25.140 --> 05:14:28.020
We just don't want to play on the side of Ambi.

05:14:28.020 --> 05:14:29.900
And sure enough, you got exactly what he asked for.

05:14:29.900 --> 05:14:32.300
You got every single player stepping up individually

05:14:32.300 --> 05:14:34.300
here on the side of Rebellion and being able to bring this round

05:14:34.300 --> 05:14:34.460
back.

05:14:34.460 --> 05:14:36.420
And something that I want to highlight in this moment,

05:14:36.420 --> 05:14:38.780
they did not give Alamo a chance to be

05:14:38.780 --> 05:14:39.860
able to bring this round back.

05:14:39.860 --> 05:14:41.980
And it just shows how much they wanted this.

05:14:41.980 --> 05:14:46.480
They sure did. Alomar was doing his best on that double door, but the discipline from Shopify Rebellion,

05:14:46.480 --> 05:14:50.480
I mean, they were really showing it when it mattered most, and it goes without saying.

05:14:50.480 --> 05:14:54.980
I mean, Ambi had an amazing map one. The team showed up map two to be able to back them up.

05:14:54.980 --> 05:14:55.980
The game plan from them-

05:14:55.980 --> 05:14:56.980
Ambi was on there twice!

05:14:56.980 --> 05:14:58.480
He's so good, he got to put him on there two times.

05:14:58.480 --> 05:14:59.980
Ambi was on there twice.

05:14:59.980 --> 05:15:02.980
I mean, something that we wanted to bloodbath, and that's exactly what we got.

05:15:02.980 --> 05:15:07.480
I mean, specifically that last round, Surf getting the 3K with the starting it off with the knife.

05:15:07.480 --> 05:15:10.480
I mean, that was just so beautiful. We saw the back and forth.

05:15:10.480 --> 05:15:13.160
We saw the clutches, we saw the great plays,

05:15:13.160 --> 05:15:14.680
cinema game.

05:15:14.680 --> 05:15:16.920
And Ambi putting himself in the history books

05:15:16.920 --> 05:15:18.960
in terms of KD on that very first map.

05:15:18.960 --> 05:15:22.320
You just do not see things like that ever.

05:15:22.320 --> 05:15:24.840
But moving into our next game here,

05:15:24.840 --> 05:15:28.240
it is another historic one because the World Champs

05:15:28.240 --> 05:15:31.320
are gonna come under fire and the challengers,

05:15:31.320 --> 05:15:35.120
Team Falcons will be looking to take them on.

05:15:35.120 --> 05:15:36.760
This is a big deal here for Team Falcons

05:15:36.760 --> 05:15:38.200
because going up against the World Champs

05:15:38.200 --> 05:15:42.900
as the underdog, always a big opportunity to prove that you belong.

05:15:42.900 --> 05:15:47.760
And I think their performance so far has proved that you can never call the Falcons the underdog by any means.

05:15:47.760 --> 05:15:51.140
And when you're talking about the Falcons, you immediately have to follow up with consistency.

05:15:51.140 --> 05:15:56.640
This is their eighth S tier event with this rendition ever since back in Manchester when they brought users and solid top back on,

05:15:56.640 --> 05:15:58.540
only being knocked out of top eight once.

05:15:58.540 --> 05:16:01.920
And that was back at EWC 2025 when they were defending their title.

05:16:01.920 --> 05:16:06.180
But back to the matters, they're still here on mainsates and they are just as lethal.

05:16:06.180 --> 05:16:09.140
If not, they can still manage to get to a grand final.

05:16:09.140 --> 05:16:13.820
And they are no stranger to the brutality that can come your way

05:16:13.820 --> 05:16:16.460
when you have to enter the lobby with FaZe.

05:16:16.460 --> 05:16:18.980
This team, no doubt, are going to be out for blood right now.

05:16:18.980 --> 05:16:19.540
Yeah, absolutely.

05:16:19.540 --> 05:16:21.780
I mean, when you look at why they're out for blood,

05:16:21.780 --> 05:16:25.380
I mean, on one end, I mean, FaZe is just the puppet masters

05:16:25.380 --> 05:16:28.740
of the Falcons roster, of even back during the Secret Roster

05:16:28.740 --> 05:16:30.620
where they would win their, inevitably,

05:16:30.620 --> 05:16:31.620
their second World Champion.

05:16:31.620 --> 05:16:34.260
But both these teams, both these players, rather,

05:16:34.260 --> 05:16:37.940
have lost two phase in a world championship final,

05:16:37.940 --> 05:16:39.860
where I have no doubt in my mind,

05:16:39.860 --> 05:16:41.380
if they can break through this,

05:16:41.380 --> 05:16:43.460
they can get over this obstacle of phase.

05:16:43.460 --> 05:16:45.940
I mean, this guy really can be the limit for this team,

05:16:45.940 --> 05:16:47.380
but do you know who's going to be the one

05:16:47.380 --> 05:16:48.740
and the key for that success?

05:16:49.620 --> 05:16:51.540
It's going to be Jume.

05:16:51.540 --> 05:16:54.580
Jume has added so much versatility to this roster,

05:16:54.580 --> 05:16:56.660
where they simply didn't have that with Shaika before.

05:16:56.660 --> 05:16:58.100
Even for a player like LickyFact,

05:16:58.100 --> 05:16:59.940
he was stuck on static rolls.

05:16:59.940 --> 05:17:01.460
He wasn't able to move around,

05:17:01.460 --> 05:17:03.140
but with the addition of Jume,

05:17:03.140 --> 05:17:05.060
Both of these players, there were a lot of questions.

05:17:05.060 --> 05:17:07.060
Who's going to fill that void of Shaco?

05:17:07.060 --> 05:17:08.140
Nobody's filling that void.

05:17:08.140 --> 05:17:11.540
They're taking shared responsibility of bringing what's necessary.

05:17:11.540 --> 05:17:13.700
And you know it as well as an ITL.

05:17:13.700 --> 05:17:15.100
When you're able to be versatile,

05:17:15.100 --> 05:17:17.060
you're able to flex around your operators,

05:17:17.060 --> 05:17:18.580
how you set up around the map,

05:17:18.580 --> 05:17:20.700
it only creates even more of a,

05:17:20.700 --> 05:17:24.780
just a plethora of opportunities and straps across your board.

05:17:24.780 --> 05:17:26.740
I mean, of course, when LickyFact joined the scene

05:17:26.740 --> 05:17:28.100
when he was first joining on BDS,

05:17:28.100 --> 05:17:30.700
those were his best roles, being the Romer, being that entry.

05:17:30.700 --> 05:17:32.620
And it's something we saw washed out a little bit

05:17:32.620 --> 05:17:35.020
as better players were joining the roster as well.

05:17:35.020 --> 05:17:36.380
But it's nice to see a player like Jume

05:17:36.380 --> 05:17:39.100
that can bring that flexibility, be aggressive, be defensive.

05:17:39.100 --> 05:17:41.380
And now there's so much versatility, like you said.

05:17:41.380 --> 05:17:43.580
Lickyback has so many opportunities

05:17:43.580 --> 05:17:45.580
to be able to change everything that he needs to,

05:17:45.580 --> 05:17:46.460
depending on a team.

05:17:46.460 --> 05:17:49.500
And we see it on main stages where Falcons struggle sometimes.

05:17:49.500 --> 05:17:51.980
So now having that more versatility to problem solve

05:17:51.980 --> 05:17:52.540
will make it easy.

05:17:52.540 --> 05:17:53.020
Absolutely.

05:17:53.020 --> 05:17:53.900
And you can even look at it.

05:17:53.900 --> 05:17:55.620
Just a team that even like DarkZero, for example,

05:17:55.620 --> 05:17:56.980
when they brought on the support players,

05:17:56.980 --> 05:17:57.740
you're seeing faults.

05:17:57.740 --> 05:18:00.700
You're seeing J9O be able to flex and be

05:18:00.700 --> 05:18:02.060
able to move around and just shine.

05:18:02.060 --> 05:18:05.220
And then that's the exact same thing that is here happening with the side of Falcons.

05:18:06.120 --> 05:18:08.120
Well, with FaZe, here's the deal.

05:18:08.120 --> 05:18:12.400
They are back-to-back World Champs for a reason because they are just that good box.

05:18:12.400 --> 05:18:18.200
The one thing that has eluded them so far, it's been a major title.

05:18:19.140 --> 05:18:19.900
It sure has.

05:18:19.900 --> 05:18:24.040
I mean, there really isn't anything besides a major title that FaZe haven't lifted up.

05:18:24.040 --> 05:18:26.240
I mean, they've done everything that they possibly could.

05:18:26.240 --> 05:18:30.240
And coming into this major, I mean, we know FaZe is a team that's going to be 3-0.

05:18:30.240 --> 05:18:33.800
We know that they're going to be three on when it comes to the Swiss phase making it the main stage

05:18:33.800 --> 05:18:35.960
It's expected almost guaranteed

05:18:35.960 --> 05:18:42.720
But I will say that this stage so far this kickoff event is something that phase has had some challenges and it goes to show

05:18:42.720 --> 05:18:47.720
Yes, they've won invites, but I'd say they showed us a lot more that that's impressive when it comes to their versatility

05:18:48.000 --> 05:18:54.000
Three different NA teams. They've beat three different complete ways the win condition was completely

05:18:54.000 --> 05:18:56.640
drastically change in each one of those.

05:18:56.640 --> 05:18:58.040
Yeah, they limped their way through kickoff.

05:18:58.040 --> 05:19:00.720
They were not the number one team from the SAL,

05:19:00.720 --> 05:19:03.240
but here they are, the only SAL team remaining.

05:19:03.240 --> 05:19:06.560
But as you said, right, it wasn't just pure clean domination.

05:19:06.560 --> 05:19:10.400
Yes, it was 3-0, but they did have a little difficulty

05:19:10.400 --> 05:19:11.240
getting all the way here.

05:19:11.240 --> 05:19:13.120
They sure did, but the way that they were able to adapt

05:19:13.120 --> 05:19:14.520
was something that was so beautiful.

05:19:14.520 --> 05:19:16.480
Against Five Fears, they knew they were an aggressive team,

05:19:16.480 --> 05:19:17.840
so they baited those gunfights.

05:19:17.840 --> 05:19:20.040
Against SR, they knew that Canadian

05:19:20.040 --> 05:19:21.680
isn't necessarily getting the kills,

05:19:21.680 --> 05:19:24.880
So they were going for opening engagements early on.

05:19:24.880 --> 05:19:27.040
And once they got that, they knew that they had that advantage.

05:19:27.040 --> 05:19:29.160
They used it against SR and against Wildcard.

05:19:29.160 --> 05:19:29.960
They understood.

05:19:29.960 --> 05:19:31.360
They have hot and cold to stand in player.

05:19:31.360 --> 05:19:33.840
They're probably not going to be great in those last few seconds

05:19:33.840 --> 05:19:34.520
of the round.

05:19:34.520 --> 05:19:37.840
So they push every single round to the max amount of limits

05:19:37.840 --> 05:19:39.600
if the time is working against Wildcard.

05:19:39.600 --> 05:19:42.760
So being able to acknowledge your opponent

05:19:42.760 --> 05:19:44.680
and approach it correctly is something

05:19:44.680 --> 05:19:46.000
that FaZe is so deadly at.

05:19:46.000 --> 05:19:48.040
But that's always been the driving point for FaZe.

05:19:48.040 --> 05:19:51.120
They are always able to control the tempo, the pacing,

05:19:51.120 --> 05:19:54.240
the momentum of a match, and that's why every team always

05:19:54.240 --> 05:19:55.800
ultimately succumbs to that.

05:19:55.800 --> 05:19:58.040
So, Falcons have to be on top of it.

05:19:58.040 --> 05:20:00.640
And it's exactly why that's been the dynamic here

05:20:00.640 --> 05:20:03.800
between these two teams throughout the past few years.

05:20:03.800 --> 05:20:07.640
Bayes has regularly had the upper hand over Falcons.

05:20:07.640 --> 05:20:08.800
I mean, they've played four times

05:20:08.800 --> 05:20:11.120
since Falcons has joined the EML,

05:20:11.120 --> 05:20:13.440
and that being said, Bayes has won three of those times.

05:20:13.440 --> 05:20:15.280
Arguably, the most important ones lack.

05:20:15.280 --> 05:20:17.240
They won both invites against Falcons.

05:20:17.240 --> 05:20:19.000
Falcons is the only one in Munich,

05:20:19.000 --> 05:20:20.640
and it's a situation where we're at a major.

05:20:20.640 --> 05:20:24.560
Maybe the tides will turn, maybe it's a different situation for Falcons to give them hope.

05:20:24.560 --> 05:20:29.260
But at the end of the day, Faze has shown so much consistency and hard evidence

05:20:29.260 --> 05:20:32.060
that they're able to adapt to whatever team is approaching them.

05:20:32.060 --> 05:20:34.980
And that's what I'm talking about. If you need momentum, you need something to push you over the edge.

05:20:34.980 --> 05:20:39.420
Getting a win over a team like Faze that has blocked you time and time again

05:20:39.420 --> 05:20:44.460
from ultimate success winning the biggest event of the year, this will pay dividends for this team.

05:20:44.460 --> 05:20:48.920
Not just even for the core Falcons, also for Savage, I mean not for Savage, but for Jume, like I said,

05:20:48.920 --> 05:20:52.220
on that roster because he was so close and he was robbed as well.

05:20:52.220 --> 05:20:56.320
Both these teams, both these players are looking for that comeback.

05:20:56.320 --> 05:20:59.720
Well, Juma is a huge story as we go into this matchup because coming into kickoff,

05:20:59.720 --> 05:21:00.920
he was the newest pickup.

05:21:00.920 --> 05:21:03.720
They picked the best player they could possibly find.

05:21:03.720 --> 05:21:04.920
Look at that team secret.

05:21:04.920 --> 05:21:05.820
They take him on.

05:21:05.820 --> 05:21:08.520
And now it's not just making them better, Fox.

05:21:08.520 --> 05:21:10.420
It's making the entire team better.

05:21:10.420 --> 05:21:11.620
Juma is playing well.

05:21:11.620 --> 05:21:16.020
And as Lax talked about, it is enabling every single player on this roster to thrive.

05:21:16.020 --> 05:21:18.320
I mean, sometimes roster changes works out for the player,

05:21:18.320 --> 05:21:20.240
leaving and the new player that's joining the team.

05:21:20.240 --> 05:21:23.280
I mean, we know Falcons has so much talent on the roster.

05:21:23.280 --> 05:21:24.720
I think Jume is exactly what they needed.

05:21:24.720 --> 05:21:26.560
Somebody that has that vocal ability,

05:21:26.560 --> 05:21:28.960
being able to make plays on that entry,

05:21:28.960 --> 05:21:31.400
being able to be very dynamic on his role.

05:21:31.400 --> 05:21:33.880
And so it allows players like Solotov uses

05:21:33.880 --> 05:21:36.840
to be able to just not think, just be able to entry,

05:21:36.840 --> 05:21:38.240
focus on getting those picks.

05:21:38.240 --> 05:21:40.000
And that's the beauty of having a player like Jume.

05:21:40.000 --> 05:21:40.920
And they're saying lose.

05:21:40.920 --> 05:21:43.440
Well, this is a routine that they did every single day

05:21:43.440 --> 05:21:44.560
going into their matches.

05:21:44.560 --> 05:21:46.760
We saw them at the hotel 10, 15 minutes

05:21:46.760 --> 05:21:47.960
before the game starts.

05:21:47.960 --> 05:21:50.400
You would expect them to be locked in, heads down, focused.

05:21:50.400 --> 05:21:52.400
They're outside, kicking a ball around, staying loose.

05:21:52.400 --> 05:21:53.440
I mean, that makes a difference.

05:21:53.440 --> 05:21:54.280
Yeah, it absolutely does.

05:21:54.280 --> 05:21:55.840
I mean, even me, back when we were playing,

05:21:55.840 --> 05:21:57.160
I didn't really care to scrim.

05:21:57.160 --> 05:21:59.200
I wanted to just focus on what I can control.

05:21:59.200 --> 05:22:00.200
And I think what they're doing, that's

05:22:00.200 --> 05:22:01.600
the exact thing that they're doing.

05:22:01.600 --> 05:22:03.120
It's just focusing on the communication,

05:22:03.120 --> 05:22:04.520
making us that they're in good vibes,

05:22:04.520 --> 05:22:05.640
making sure that they're loose.

05:22:05.640 --> 05:22:07.240
And that's something that I enjoy to see,

05:22:07.240 --> 05:22:08.320
that everyone's involved.

05:22:08.320 --> 05:22:09.840
No one is just sitting on the back end.

05:22:09.840 --> 05:22:11.400
Everyone is making sure that they're there.

05:22:11.400 --> 05:22:12.560
The camaraderie is there.

05:22:12.560 --> 05:22:13.520
The energy is there.

05:22:13.520 --> 05:22:15.640
And you can see that they are getting ready to be locked

05:22:15.640 --> 05:22:16.560
in for this match.

05:22:16.560 --> 05:22:19.960
It's good for the mental ability to be able to stay fresh in your mind.

05:22:19.960 --> 05:22:22.720
You know, the hand-eye coordination, it helps when it comes to playing games.

05:22:22.720 --> 05:22:25.200
I mean, we used to play ping pong back in the day sometimes.

05:22:25.200 --> 05:22:25.720
I'm still doing it sometimes.

05:22:25.720 --> 05:22:28.320
I'm able to stay active, so it's very helpful for the team.

05:22:28.320 --> 05:22:29.800
And one thing that they have done really well,

05:22:29.800 --> 05:22:32.640
and throughout my interviews with them this week, they said it every time,

05:22:32.640 --> 05:22:36.040
our mental has never really been all that bad,

05:22:36.040 --> 05:22:38.640
even when they suffered a bad loss here or there.

05:22:38.640 --> 05:22:40.840
They stayed calm, they stayed composed,

05:22:40.840 --> 05:22:42.600
and that's why they're here on the main stage.

05:22:42.600 --> 05:22:44.920
And again, I think when you also have the leader of Licky back, I mean, again,

05:22:44.920 --> 05:22:47.620
We know how intense he can get, but everyone can handle that.

05:22:47.620 --> 05:22:49.220
And it comes from a place of care.

05:22:49.220 --> 05:22:52.720
It comes from a place of knowing that they can be better versions of themselves,

05:22:52.720 --> 05:22:54.620
which is why you don't see that mental gift of them,

05:22:54.620 --> 05:22:58.520
is why you don't see them start to hide and shake because Licky Fax yell at them.

05:22:58.520 --> 05:23:02.020
Or even we saw in a couple of those call-ins or the timeouts,

05:23:02.020 --> 05:23:05.220
we saw him maybe even question Julio and some of those calls of just being,

05:23:05.220 --> 05:23:07.120
maybe we need to transition, maybe we need to do this.

05:23:07.120 --> 05:23:10.420
I think that is important for any team to be able to grow and just the dynamic of it.

05:23:10.420 --> 05:23:13.420
I mean, again, they're on main stage for a reason.

05:23:13.420 --> 05:23:18.700
They are, but when we talk about the conversation of mental fortitude, being strong, not letting Brown...

05:23:18.700 --> 05:23:19.420
Okay, I mean...

05:23:19.420 --> 05:23:23.900
Hurry! We're going up against FaZe. I mean, the back-to-back invite champions.

05:23:23.900 --> 05:23:28.620
If there's any team that's going to mentally lose it against an opponent, it's going to be FaZe,

05:23:28.620 --> 05:23:31.580
because they are perfect. They adapt. They understand exactly what they need to do,

05:23:31.580 --> 05:23:33.340
and they're consistently putting up walls.

05:23:33.340 --> 05:23:34.380
The ball is...

05:23:34.380 --> 05:23:37.100
That Falcons is going to have to figure out what to do with it.

05:23:37.100 --> 05:23:41.580
Well, let's slow things down for a moment and look where exactly we're headed to in this festive

05:23:41.580 --> 05:23:48.980
We've seen the importance of these maps so far throughout the first two series our second series just ending in two this time

05:23:48.980 --> 05:23:53.940
No doubt Falcons are gonna try to push this one as far as they can clubhouse. Oh, man

05:23:53.940 --> 05:23:58.620
I mean, we're already gonna be in for one hell of a match just right out the gates. I mean clubhouse very simple map

05:23:58.620 --> 05:24:01.320
We've talked about this is essentially the coliseum of maps

05:24:01.320 --> 05:24:03.780
It's really just counter playing of who's gonna show

05:24:04.020 --> 05:24:09.700
Fundamentally more sound and from what we've seen time and time again. It really has been phased but throughout this event so far

05:24:09.700 --> 05:24:12.780
We've already seen Falcons play this twice beating keg and nip now

05:24:12.780 --> 05:24:16.080
That's not the biggest serving sale, but at least for the side of nip

05:24:16.080 --> 05:24:20.380
We know clubhouse is a predominantly heavily favored map in the sal

05:24:20.380 --> 05:24:24.980
So the fact of the matter they're gonna bring phase here and already start out making them feel a little comfort

05:24:24.980 --> 05:24:29.200
Does give me a little bit of question marks there, but I mean still you move it to shall lay

05:24:29.200 --> 05:24:31.580
I mean we already saw how shall they look for the side for phase

05:24:31.580 --> 05:24:38.460
I mean we sure do phase are amazing on shall a arguably the best map 15 and 4 for the total years so far and

05:24:38.460 --> 05:24:41.060
And when it comes to them just being able to play on that map,

05:24:41.060 --> 05:24:43.660
they're very slow paced, but at the same time,

05:24:43.660 --> 05:24:45.560
the biggest hindrance on that map is Cyber.

05:24:45.560 --> 05:24:46.960
You never know where he's coming from.

05:24:46.960 --> 05:24:48.660
He's been able to be so flexible.

05:24:48.660 --> 05:24:50.560
We'll see him on the entry. We'll see him on the flex.

05:24:50.560 --> 05:24:53.060
We'll see him slowing it down, playing with the team.

05:24:53.060 --> 05:24:55.460
And that's something where I'm imagining

05:24:55.460 --> 05:24:58.260
that Falcons is trying to win the opening in Gatorade.

05:24:58.260 --> 05:25:00.360
They need to already at the time. They need to.

05:25:00.360 --> 05:25:03.060
And Faze is going to be adapting very heavily against it

05:25:03.060 --> 05:25:04.460
to be able to play back.

05:25:04.460 --> 05:25:06.160
So what is Falcons going to do?

05:25:06.160 --> 05:25:08.060
That's what I want to see is how they're going to be able

05:25:08.060 --> 05:25:10.460
to adjust to where cyber is positioned.

05:25:10.460 --> 05:25:11.500
I think the win comes in.

05:25:11.500 --> 05:25:12.100
Exactly.

05:25:12.100 --> 05:25:13.620
Are they going to get aggressive when they realize

05:25:13.620 --> 05:25:15.060
cyber is playing back?

05:25:15.060 --> 05:25:17.540
At the end of the day, if we go to a full three maps,

05:25:17.540 --> 05:25:19.860
both teams are pretty proficient on consulate.

05:25:19.860 --> 05:25:22.860
So I'm imagining both teams will be able to win their respective map.

05:25:22.860 --> 05:25:24.460
I love it when you guys get into it like this.

05:25:24.460 --> 05:25:25.700
I mean, it's just such good energy.

05:25:25.700 --> 05:25:28.820
Let's talk predictions, though, as we have to do before we go to the crowd.

05:25:28.820 --> 05:25:30.460
I want to hear what you guys have to think.

05:25:30.460 --> 05:25:31.580
Lex, who's got it?

05:25:31.580 --> 05:25:33.860
It's hard to predict if someone other than the World

05:25:33.860 --> 05:25:34.620
Chance is going to win.

05:25:34.620 --> 05:25:36.500
Do Falcons have what it takes?

05:25:36.500 --> 05:25:37.660
I think they do have what it takes.

05:25:37.660 --> 05:25:41.980
They've shown that they can beat them back in Munich now, obviously, you know, that doesn't attest to, you know,

05:25:41.980 --> 05:25:44.500
what an SI finish looks like, but I do think they can't get over there.

05:25:44.500 --> 05:25:48.580
But just for the simple fact, I mean, you have to give it to the two-time world champions and how composed they've been,

05:25:48.580 --> 05:25:52.340
how well they've been able to transition their play styles to accommodate each and every single team.

05:25:52.340 --> 05:25:53.660
I gotta leave them on the table with Faze.

05:25:53.660 --> 05:26:00.660
I agree. When it comes to the mental aspect and seeing Falcons on the stage like this and the outcomes until we're proven wrong,

05:26:00.660 --> 05:26:02.460
I gotta give it to Faze.

05:26:02.460 --> 05:26:06.580
All right, we're gonna go to crowd in just a moment, so hang the bear with me for a second.

05:26:06.580 --> 05:26:17.580
If we're going to see that third map, if we're going to see Conslet at that point, do you think, oh, it's guaranteed to be a phased victory, they've taken it all that way, or is that where Falcons can thrive?

05:26:17.580 --> 05:26:19.580
I think it's a phased victory.

05:26:19.580 --> 05:26:21.580
I mean, I still want to give credit to Falcons.

05:26:21.580 --> 05:26:24.580
They fought tooth and nail throughout many games here as well.

05:26:24.580 --> 05:26:28.580
I mean, it hasn't been a breeze for either of these teams to get to this point, but they all have the mental resilience.

05:26:28.580 --> 05:26:31.580
I think either way, it's not going to be clean cut and concise.

05:26:31.580 --> 05:26:34.580
Who's going to win it unless somehow we're seeing a quick 7-0 on this person?

05:26:34.580 --> 05:26:39.500
I think the biggest indicator will be how the team is looking and responding to each other on Falcons if they lose

05:26:39.580 --> 05:26:44.540
One of the first two maps going into map three depending on their morale their energy

05:26:44.540 --> 05:26:49.380
I think that will be a very big indicator. So maybe we revisit that question after map two

05:26:49.380 --> 05:26:54.100
All right, we'll absolutely do that. Of course phase they have not dropped a map yet here in

05:26:54.940 --> 05:26:59.860
SLC that means maybe when they face some adversity we could see things change a little bit

05:26:59.860 --> 05:27:01.700
But I never get the opportunity to do this

05:27:01.700 --> 05:27:07.460
So I'm gonna have to speak to the people behind me. All right. Let's see who thinks Falcons is gonna take this one

05:27:07.460 --> 05:27:09.460
Let's hear it. Come on

05:27:10.260 --> 05:27:16.260
Okay, little something something all right. Let's see back-to-back world champs. Let's hear it for phase

05:27:18.380 --> 05:27:22.960
I think it's obvious to side it. Yeah, I mean you gotta you gotta go to the Falcons

05:27:23.900 --> 05:27:27.240
What I mean, we know there's dream fans in the crowd

05:27:27.240 --> 05:27:30.160
We know we've got that fan base coming over from Team Secret.

05:27:30.160 --> 05:27:33.080
Just because of the performance that they put up at SI,

05:27:33.080 --> 05:27:35.160
what feels like not too long ago at all.

05:27:35.160 --> 05:27:37.520
Do you think he could take some of those lessons here,

05:27:37.520 --> 05:27:40.560
bring them to Team Falcons and say, hey, Faze did this to us.

05:27:40.560 --> 05:27:43.040
Here is what we need to prevent to make sure we get this one?

05:27:43.040 --> 05:27:44.800
Well, listen, I think there's one thing to take away,

05:27:44.800 --> 05:27:46.600
especially with Shaiiko's removal from the team,

05:27:46.600 --> 05:27:48.440
is when we even saw them play last time,

05:27:48.440 --> 05:27:51.000
we saw Licky Fack, the one who was performing the most.

05:27:51.000 --> 05:27:53.280
And we did see Jumi was the second highest rated player

05:27:53.280 --> 05:27:55.520
of that game in that championship final.

05:27:55.520 --> 05:28:02.660
So I would think it does alleviate a little bit of pressure there of inconsistency that have played this Falcons roster now going into this setup.

05:28:02.660 --> 05:28:06.800
But again, this isn't a grand final. This is a quarterfinal. There's still plenty of a road ahead of them.

05:28:06.800 --> 05:28:08.700
They need to get over this hurdle of Falcons.

05:28:08.700 --> 05:28:14.000
Having the experience is going to make Jume feel a lot more comfortable sitting in that seat going up against FaZe,

05:28:14.000 --> 05:28:18.800
especially since it's so recent. That being said, it's FaZe. They adapt. We just talked about it.

05:28:18.800 --> 05:28:24.460
Every single team that they've played against, different win condition, different ideal stylistic matchup

05:28:24.460 --> 05:28:25.660
on who they're going up against.

05:28:25.660 --> 05:28:29.100
So it really will be a battle on how fast Falcons can

05:28:29.100 --> 05:28:33.940
understand and adapt, and how fast Faze can adapt as well.

05:28:33.940 --> 05:28:35.500
Well, our players are ready to go,

05:28:35.500 --> 05:28:36.940
so here's what we need to do now.

05:28:36.940 --> 05:28:39.580
We have to find out if Falcons have

05:28:39.580 --> 05:28:43.140
what it takes to take on the back-to-back world champs,

05:28:43.140 --> 05:28:48.220
as Faze still chase their first ever major title.

05:28:48.220 --> 05:29:08.220
the next two teams. All right.

05:29:08.220 --> 05:29:10.220
Take a crack at the trophy, but

05:29:10.220 --> 05:29:12.220
to do that, you've got to get

05:29:12.220 --> 05:29:14.220
through your next opponent and

05:29:14.220 --> 05:29:16.220
these next two teams know each

05:29:46.220 --> 05:29:56.220
Team Falcons!

05:29:58.220 --> 05:30:09.220
After a major roster shakeup that shook their chemistry, this squad is here to prove everything can finally click on the biggest stage.

05:30:09.220 --> 05:30:15.720
Watch them hunt that old fire, and turn potential into playoff dominance.

05:30:22.720 --> 05:30:24.720
And their opponents.

05:30:39.220 --> 05:30:46.220
and

05:30:46.220 --> 05:30:49.220
and

05:30:49.220 --> 05:30:52.220
and

05:30:52.220 --> 05:30:55.220
and

05:30:55.220 --> 05:31:00.220
and

05:31:00.220 --> 05:31:05.220
and

05:31:05.220 --> 05:31:07.220
FaZe Clan!

05:31:09.220 --> 05:31:12.220
The back-to-back six Invitational champions

05:31:12.220 --> 05:31:15.220
are rolling undefeated through the Swiss

05:31:15.220 --> 05:31:21.220
and now continue to chase dynasty status on American soil.

05:31:21.220 --> 05:31:24.220
The Foulers run here, would fare the cement themselves

05:31:24.220 --> 05:31:27.220
as the team of the era.

05:31:35.220 --> 05:32:03.280
I mean talk about a familiar sight here the amount of times I've stood next to you guys

05:32:03.280 --> 05:32:09.400
You know each other inside and out. It's another opportunity to prove that you're better than these guys and that you're better than these guys

05:32:09.480 --> 05:32:13.400
Any final words for each other? It will be a good game like every time and

05:32:14.120 --> 05:32:15.200
Enuffin

05:32:15.200 --> 05:32:19.920
Come on KDS. Yeah, the same thing. You have a good time playing so they are very good

05:32:21.920 --> 05:32:25.040
Sportsmanship, can we get a handshake here guys good stuff

05:32:25.480 --> 05:32:32.200
To seasoned veterans ready to go at it here and call in the action. We got links and exciterica

05:32:33.280 --> 05:32:37.440
A lot of teams have beef with FaZe, and I think that puts it mildly.

05:32:37.440 --> 05:32:41.080
All of North America has basically lost a FaZe at this tournament,

05:32:41.080 --> 05:32:47.280
but no team at this event is fighting for revenge for one, but two grand finals, Oli.

05:32:47.280 --> 05:32:50.880
Oh yeah, this is a little bit of a grudge match in the making,

05:32:50.880 --> 05:32:55.280
and the fact we get to see it here in the quarters is a massive treat indeed.

05:32:55.280 --> 05:32:58.480
Of course, Falcons, they've got their own history with FaZe,

05:32:58.480 --> 05:33:02.880
but looking a little bit deeper, what's happened recently on this team Falcon side?

05:33:02.880 --> 05:33:11.880
Well, it is the addition of June and of course, who can forget June going up against FaZe in that team secret roster only a couple of months ago.

05:33:11.880 --> 05:33:13.880
So it's almost a double whammy here, Lynx.

05:33:13.880 --> 05:33:24.880
I mean, the fact that 80% have a chip on their shoulder against FaZe from a match two years ago, and their newest pick up has a chip on their shoulder from a match that happened one year ago, basically the same tournament.

05:33:24.880 --> 05:33:26.880
It doesn't get much better than that.

05:33:26.880 --> 05:33:30.880
But June in particular in that secret series against FaZe.

05:33:30.880 --> 05:33:34.660
Channeling it seems like fate itself so many times and yet still falling short

05:33:35.180 --> 05:33:39.060
These do seem inevitable at points Ali. Do you feel that way about them today?

05:33:39.060 --> 05:33:42.160
I do in some ways and I don't in others

05:33:42.160 --> 05:33:47.080
I feel like it's a very difficult balance to strike here because for me and my money

05:33:47.080 --> 05:33:54.080
I don't know that we've seen phase play enough games yet here inside a Salt Lake the last time we saw them play

05:33:54.160 --> 05:33:59.680
Was Tuesday today's Friday. They've played four maps to get to this point

05:33:59.680 --> 05:34:02.760
I mean, Falcons, they've played 11.

05:34:02.760 --> 05:34:04.200
And you talk about phases struggles

05:34:04.200 --> 05:34:06.120
at majors in the past few years,

05:34:06.120 --> 05:34:09.440
Fox is right, they always qualified the 3-0 at the 3-1,

05:34:09.440 --> 05:34:10.640
but that means they might end up playing

05:34:10.640 --> 05:34:12.640
only four, five, six maps

05:34:12.640 --> 05:34:14.240
before getting into the main stage.

05:34:14.240 --> 05:34:15.880
But if you're going up against a team like Falcons

05:34:15.880 --> 05:34:18.680
who played 11 or other teams that have played double digits,

05:34:18.680 --> 05:34:20.000
that's where we see phase struggle.

05:34:20.000 --> 05:34:22.200
They go out in the quarters, they go out in the semis.

05:34:22.200 --> 05:34:24.960
It's at S-Size when you play 8 billion maps, they do well.

05:34:24.960 --> 05:34:26.400
But when you don't have a lot of time,

05:34:26.400 --> 05:34:28.320
phase have struggled here in the past.

05:34:28.320 --> 05:34:31.600
If you think about Falcons, what is the best possible outcome for them?

05:34:31.600 --> 05:34:32.800
Playing a lot of maps.

05:34:32.800 --> 05:34:34.040
They've just picked up June.

05:34:34.040 --> 05:34:36.000
It is all about getting those reps in.

05:34:36.000 --> 05:34:38.320
June doesn't need the experience of playing on the main stage.

05:34:38.320 --> 05:34:39.920
She's got that in the bank already.

05:34:39.920 --> 05:34:42.680
But the synergy with the team, that's something you can't fake.

05:34:42.680 --> 05:34:45.200
And they've had to do that through a lower bracket run in the Swiss.

05:34:45.200 --> 05:34:46.600
Not a complete one.

05:34:46.600 --> 05:34:50.520
They didn't go down 0-2, but Falcons had their back against the wall

05:34:50.520 --> 05:34:52.760
for a little bit of SLC already.

05:34:52.760 --> 05:34:56.080
But now it is do or die for Falcons,

05:34:56.080 --> 05:35:02.100
phase plan for our third quarter final of the day. Will it be the two-time world

05:35:02.100 --> 05:35:07.100
champs or will it be Falcons with a little bit of young star power to try and

05:35:07.100 --> 05:35:14.260
recreate that magic? We've got Clubhouse coming up right now. Clubhouse it is and

05:35:14.260 --> 05:35:19.900
what a map it is going to be. It's a bit of a rare treat to see Falcons play on

05:35:19.900 --> 05:35:24.420
Clubhouse. A delicacy. It's certainly a rare thing to see them lose it. It's the

05:35:24.420 --> 05:35:29.860
the night preference map, they very often ban it, and very seldom will they pick it themselves.

05:35:29.860 --> 05:35:35.180
However, when they end up playing it, they are bloody good at clubhouse.

05:35:35.180 --> 05:35:37.620
Faze on the flip side, third choice.

05:35:37.620 --> 05:35:39.860
So you can look into that and see what you will.

05:35:39.860 --> 05:35:42.260
Double positive on it, six and three, that's fine.

05:35:42.260 --> 05:35:46.020
They played a heck of a lot of club at the start of this year, and it's sort of tailed

05:35:46.020 --> 05:35:47.020
off a little bit.

05:35:47.020 --> 05:35:51.220
I'm a little bit surprised to see this be the map that we go to first in the series

05:35:51.220 --> 05:35:52.220
in itself.

05:35:52.220 --> 05:35:56.700
But we know that both of these two teams aren't necessarily massive on the old counter prep.

05:35:56.700 --> 05:35:58.860
They like doing their own things.

05:35:59.360 --> 05:36:04.020
Faze in particular, when you have a five that is this consistent, that is just this good,

05:36:04.020 --> 05:36:06.060
you don't need a counter strat half the time.

05:36:06.060 --> 05:36:07.420
You just focus on playing your game.

05:36:07.420 --> 05:36:13.300
But by the same token, that is where sometimes that, you know, only playing three, four maps can hurt you a little bit.

05:36:13.300 --> 05:36:17.700
If you're so focused on refining your game, if you don't have something to give you an edge, maybe you struggle.

05:36:17.700 --> 05:36:19.700
But that's the thing with Faze.

05:36:19.700 --> 05:36:20.900
They always just play their game.

05:36:20.900 --> 05:36:24.180
It's been three years of playing their game and they've won two six invitations

05:36:24.180 --> 05:36:26.500
all made every main stage and only gone out in the quarters.

05:36:26.500 --> 05:36:29.140
What one time in three years.

05:36:29.620 --> 05:36:32.220
Falcons today think they might just be the team to do it.

05:36:32.660 --> 05:36:36.220
And given how they played so far, Holly, I don't hate their chances.

05:36:36.780 --> 05:36:37.660
I really don't at all.

05:36:37.660 --> 05:36:40.220
Falcons going to be starting off here on the attack downstairs.

05:36:40.220 --> 05:36:42.860
We go as is tradition here with clubhouse.

05:36:43.380 --> 05:36:44.980
It's going to be quite the extension, though.

05:36:44.980 --> 05:36:48.060
The phase are bringing out with plenty of reinforcements going on upstairs

05:36:48.060 --> 05:36:50.460
inside of both CCTV and cash.

05:36:50.460 --> 05:36:54.940
and of course just making sure that that garage catwalk is locked off as well.

05:36:54.940 --> 05:36:58.940
Some real time wasting operators being brought from the side of FaZe.

05:36:58.940 --> 05:37:03.660
The Roman 2 round, Goyo canisters, and of course a couple of malusis

05:37:03.660 --> 05:37:07.820
just to stop you from being able to just plainly walk on in which is

05:37:07.820 --> 05:37:10.940
something that FaZe are looking to do. You can even bring in Snake.

05:37:10.940 --> 05:37:16.620
It evades the first round of buying beer and LeakyFact doesn't need too much of an invitation to play it.

05:37:16.620 --> 05:37:21.300
No, he does not. Snake has been one of LickyFax's most played operators over the course of the tournament.

05:37:21.300 --> 05:37:27.520
And basically, since the loss of Shiko, we've seen that kind of the ability to take those 1v1s that lurk trade hands quite a lot.

05:37:27.520 --> 05:37:32.160
He used to be Shiko and LickyFax now, uses will do it, EFAC will do it, Jume will do it as well.

05:37:32.160 --> 05:37:36.520
But Jume playing the Blackbeard as well, another operator that he's played quite a bit here in SLC.

05:37:36.520 --> 05:37:39.600
And one he will get very little showtime on in round one.

05:37:39.600 --> 05:37:44.080
Cyber, who's playing Smoke, by the way, but not on site with a shotgun.

05:37:44.080 --> 05:37:48.960
With the FMG9, he gets that first pick and Handy is hungry for a second.

05:37:48.960 --> 05:37:52.640
Solotov just outside, but Lucy will drop down.

05:37:52.640 --> 05:37:57.120
Spends 1-D trying to get that Romer and FaZe feel confident in their early game.

05:37:57.120 --> 05:38:00.000
It's an early drop-off. We dropped off after only a minute here.

05:38:00.000 --> 05:38:02.960
Typically you'll see teams try and push it just a little bit further,

05:38:02.960 --> 05:38:04.400
trying to get to the halfway point.

05:38:04.400 --> 05:38:07.520
But FaZe feeling like that could be a big win condition for them already.

05:38:07.520 --> 05:38:12.240
and just cementing those players down in the basement where they've got those strong power positions.

05:38:12.240 --> 05:38:16.960
As we'll see in right now, it is only a good thing. Sure, it gives the map control the way to Falcons,

05:38:16.960 --> 05:38:21.280
but look at what's been removed. It's the Blackbeard. That's a big push in power for late runnings around,

05:38:21.280 --> 05:38:25.360
as well as the roam clear. Falcons have retains to important utility,

05:38:25.360 --> 05:38:30.640
not just that soliton standard, but users also. Both of his no-coby calls likely intact for this

05:38:30.640 --> 05:38:34.800
execute. With all the bees as well to flood down blue, you would like the Blackbeard.

05:38:34.800 --> 05:38:40.360
The Falcons have a lot of primary utility to make this a workable execute, but given

05:38:40.360 --> 05:38:44.640
that's a 5v5 on site, you've got the F-naughts, you've got the Zodos, you've got a C4 and

05:38:44.640 --> 05:38:48.960
Vulcan packs as well, they still have some work to do before this site is right for the

05:38:48.960 --> 05:38:49.960
taking.

05:38:49.960 --> 05:38:52.960
There is a little bit of a verb going on inside of Kitchen now, and Breede is going to exasperate

05:38:52.960 --> 05:38:57.200
that problem to the players of FaZe that are looking to dig in a little bit below.

05:38:57.200 --> 05:39:00.920
Still a minute left on the block, so no real cause for concern, but LeakyFact already

05:39:00.920 --> 05:39:03.240
challenging Short and getting himself into Moto.

05:39:03.240 --> 05:39:06.040
Creeping on in potentially two kills to go his way.

05:39:06.040 --> 05:39:08.600
Dineclaw's one on blue, KDS turns his back.

05:39:08.600 --> 05:39:11.000
Understandable, but he sees a second.

05:39:11.000 --> 05:39:13.960
No way Cyber knew he could be peeked from that angle.

05:39:13.960 --> 05:39:15.080
He's back to sneaking in.

05:39:15.080 --> 05:39:15.960
How about a third?

05:39:15.960 --> 05:39:18.760
How about number four?

05:39:18.760 --> 05:39:20.920
Not even worried about it.

05:39:20.920 --> 05:39:22.720
3v1 now for Falcon.

05:39:22.720 --> 05:39:27.440
2v1 as the man himself picked back up.

05:39:27.440 --> 05:39:29.560
Only 30 seconds to go.

05:39:29.560 --> 05:39:31.360
He's easily burned by the Vulcan pack

05:39:31.360 --> 05:39:33.360
the heat of it too much for Solid Snake.

05:39:34.860 --> 05:39:37.960
And the 2v1 Falcons with 20 seconds to close this out.

05:39:37.960 --> 05:39:39.960
Souls is just one HP.

05:39:39.960 --> 05:39:41.960
The easiest kill of your lives.

05:39:42.460 --> 05:39:44.960
We've seen a lot of crazy plays from FaZe and Blue.

05:39:45.360 --> 05:39:46.960
We just won't see one today.

05:39:47.260 --> 05:39:50.860
Falcons need to start off strong and winning the first is about as good as you can get.

05:39:51.160 --> 05:39:52.560
What did I say at the start of that round?

05:39:52.860 --> 05:39:55.360
The utility they're bringing to stop players from just walking in.

05:39:55.360 --> 05:39:56.560
And what do we see happen?

05:39:56.860 --> 05:39:58.460
You place that utility out on the map.

05:39:58.560 --> 05:39:59.960
You then drop off from the roam clear

05:39:59.960 --> 05:40:02.720
because you think you've got the kill onto the Blackbeard and you're like that.

05:40:02.720 --> 05:40:04.160
You know what? We'll take it.

05:40:04.160 --> 05:40:05.600
We've got two minutes to hold on downstairs.

05:40:05.600 --> 05:40:06.920
That should be fairly straightforward.

05:40:06.920 --> 05:40:08.760
They're missing a body. They're going to miss a line.

05:40:08.760 --> 05:40:10.960
They're going to miss an angle to try and take us on.

05:40:10.960 --> 05:40:14.680
In fact, seize the gap, seize the space, walks down main stairs,

05:40:14.680 --> 05:40:15.880
straight through short.

05:40:15.880 --> 05:40:17.720
Doesn't need to play around with Churchill too much.

05:40:17.720 --> 05:40:19.120
It's already reinforced for him.

05:40:19.120 --> 05:40:21.560
He's got a clear line to get straight into Motel

05:40:21.560 --> 05:40:24.760
and the information from the Bs, the backstop from Solotov,

05:40:24.760 --> 05:40:28.320
coming down those blue stairs and giving him everything that he needs.

05:40:28.320 --> 05:40:33.040
Opened it right so bad. No rotate. Criminal.

05:40:39.280 --> 05:40:43.520
Big 4k from LickyFack out in round one. Getting one on basement as well.

05:40:44.400 --> 05:40:47.840
Can't get much better than that, especially going down in the opening pick. So now

05:40:48.400 --> 05:40:52.720
phase move up, try CCTV, go through the motions, go through the normal site rotation.

05:40:52.720 --> 05:40:57.040
In front of the CGM, in this case it'll be the other. Got a little bit of an extension,

05:40:57.040 --> 05:41:03.900
I imagine with souls bringing that castle so see some focus over on the bedroom side. I believe the talcans lock in their pics

05:41:04.720 --> 05:41:06.720
This is an annoying lineup, isn't it?

05:41:09.840 --> 05:41:12.760
Think about it you've not got all of them really annoying defenders in there

05:41:12.760 --> 05:41:19.860
You've got a couple scattered through the new in particular becoming increasingly more annoying because of these global abilities and because of how much

05:41:19.860 --> 05:41:23.100
Safety the new general fries will likely say it's on the side of the attack

05:41:23.100 --> 05:41:27.060
It isn't going to matter though two for two on opening deaths for June as once again

05:41:27.060 --> 05:41:31.340
We're seeing that big impact operator that Falcons are trying to bring here not a fighter

05:41:31.340 --> 05:41:34.820
But again look at if I he's about to walk with main stairs here

05:41:34.820 --> 05:41:37.520
He's got the solid top scanner to he could find both of these guys

05:41:38.060 --> 05:41:41.620
If it's you're already been drawn out early all e-fac has to do

05:41:42.700 --> 05:41:47.580
With f2 in hand is this creep up and take his moment when it arises

05:41:47.580 --> 05:41:51.420
Don't shoot the default trust your instincts. He catches his own blinker

05:41:51.420 --> 05:41:58.420
E-FAC a one-man army over in Bedbury right now, but still struggling against two different weapons.

05:41:58.420 --> 05:42:00.420
Running out of support.

05:42:00.420 --> 05:42:06.420
Cyber has been a big player on the defense, not only for FaZe this round, but for FaZe!

05:42:06.420 --> 05:42:11.420
I think E-FAC saw Ambi do some crazy work earlier on Solid Snake and thinks he can make it happen,

05:42:11.420 --> 05:42:14.420
but Cyber, a one-man army as well.

05:42:14.420 --> 05:42:18.420
Opposite sides on the second floor, putting Falcons in the 2v2.

05:42:18.420 --> 05:42:22.420
I think FaZe have done a very good job to stabilise there and a lot of it has come off the back of Cyber.

05:42:22.420 --> 05:42:28.920
LeafyFact has found so much space and value out of that bedroom push at the moment and he really has been screaming for support.

05:42:28.920 --> 05:42:32.720
And as the support was trying to get there, Cyber was just cutting him down along the way.

05:42:32.720 --> 05:42:37.220
Still a 2 vs 2 and plenty of time left, but look at the HP advantage.

05:42:37.220 --> 05:42:43.220
Two impacts on both FaZe players at the moment, even that alone is going to be enough to send EFAC into the grave.

05:42:43.220 --> 05:42:47.220
A strong breeze is enough to send EFAC into an early grave and maybe...

05:42:47.220 --> 05:42:52.820
Just seeing the tip of KDS's head, that might be sufficient trying to find him!

05:42:52.820 --> 05:42:53.820
Oh my goodness!

05:42:56.220 --> 05:43:01.820
He back in flow state, first two rounds of clubhouse, this man is finding every gap.

05:43:03.820 --> 05:43:05.820
Is he on the same set of bamboo as playing on?

05:43:06.820 --> 05:43:11.820
Ah, is that the secret sauce? We just got like a NASA computer in that third spot.

05:43:11.820 --> 05:43:12.820
They tried to keep us.

05:43:12.820 --> 05:43:16.420
I'm going to do some things combining a little bit of resources with the one that goes to the wall, you know?

05:43:16.420 --> 05:43:21.460
So in this one we're going to make a garage, with a cadet of tubarão, from the bench server,

05:43:21.460 --> 05:43:27.180
it will only attack and leave the one that goes to the wall of the server's wall, that's it.

05:43:27.180 --> 05:43:29.020
We're going to stay here, like, for all sides.

05:43:29.020 --> 05:43:33.140
Keep that idea of smoking, and the others can get an ammo, that's it.

05:43:33.140 --> 05:43:34.340
What ammo?

05:43:34.340 --> 05:43:36.700
At the bottom of the room, that we're going to get now.

05:43:36.700 --> 05:43:42.540
At the bottom of the chapel, we can basically keep the friends and net playing a little bit more there and there.

05:43:42.540 --> 05:43:46.220
But when are you going to make that stop to hide the vocal in the hotel?

05:43:46.220 --> 05:43:48.220
It's the second time I'm going to bomb it.

05:43:48.220 --> 05:43:49.420
For what?

05:43:49.420 --> 05:43:51.920
And now the bomb is money, man.

05:43:51.920 --> 05:43:55.820
We have to hold that stop that we combined with the guy who has gone up, right?

05:43:55.820 --> 05:43:57.820
Now it can be another play.

05:43:57.820 --> 05:43:59.820
Let's go, let's go.

05:44:12.540 --> 05:44:18.280
When they have struggled, it has been against underdogs who usually go on to lose the Major, might I add.

05:44:18.280 --> 05:44:21.680
Go all the way back to Copenhagen, it was a crazy run from Volts and Ness.

05:44:21.680 --> 05:44:27.040
Go all the way back to Atlanta, Lobin and Maya were having some of the best games we've ever seen on an international stage.

05:44:27.040 --> 05:44:31.480
In the Manchester, you get Gunnar putting in a crazy performance, and now what do you know?

05:44:31.480 --> 05:44:37.200
A couple years later in another May Major, EFAC is what, 7-1 in the first two rounds against FaZe?

05:44:37.200 --> 05:44:41.440
It is much too early days to call anything. It's Falcon's pick after all.

05:44:41.440 --> 05:44:46.080
But in a day of individual performances that has been phases a Kelly's heel at major past

05:44:46.720 --> 05:44:51.780
It wasn't too early for face to call the tactical timeout once he's trying to stop that bleeding recognizing

05:44:52.200 --> 05:44:56.900
Defensive rounds are right before the taking here on clubhouse two rounds by the way

05:44:56.900 --> 05:45:00.380
Well phase I've got the opening pick and still failed to compare on to it

05:45:00.520 --> 05:45:05.320
Something that Falcons have put quite a lot of focus on and they've been very good at is that opening engagement

05:45:05.320 --> 05:45:08.200
And I was kind of keeping my eye out for people gonna play similarly today

05:45:08.200 --> 05:45:12.440
And I'm sure as we get into the series, we may see a little bit more of that over on Chalet

05:45:12.440 --> 05:45:18.240
But the main takeaway at the moment for those two rounds of four versus five big big performances

05:45:18.240 --> 05:45:20.740
Not only for me five also three days well hitting that two and zero

05:45:25.160 --> 05:45:27.280
So I've been good as well with this four to two

05:45:28.880 --> 05:45:34.000
The only main performer today so far three K in the last round and that's 75% of the work he's done

05:45:34.000 --> 05:45:39.100
It's been a dominant performance in feedback with another one.

05:45:39.100 --> 05:45:41.260
This man could not miss a timing.

05:45:41.260 --> 05:45:43.900
He broke every clock in the room.

05:45:43.900 --> 05:45:49.300
He has every path in figured out and for Cyber in particular, one of if not the best defensive

05:45:49.300 --> 05:45:54.020
players on phase of this tournament, being able to nail down basically the one in the

05:45:54.020 --> 05:45:57.740
four plus one of phases set up is of the utmost importance.

05:45:57.740 --> 05:45:59.740
Quick.

05:45:59.740 --> 05:46:00.740
The wall now opens as well as Brutus.

05:46:00.740 --> 05:46:02.740
He's going to be rocking that Maverick torch.

05:46:02.740 --> 05:46:04.740
He can make a couple of murderholes as well.

05:46:04.740 --> 05:46:05.740
He's going to line a side.

05:46:05.740 --> 05:46:06.740
He has to pass for him!

05:46:06.740 --> 05:46:07.740
He's shot six games!

05:46:07.740 --> 05:46:10.740
Seals still managing to keep himself alive here

05:46:10.740 --> 05:46:11.740
in conscious of the push coming from elsewhere.

05:46:11.740 --> 05:46:13.740
This is something Falcons have been good at

05:46:13.740 --> 05:46:15.740
with the advantage when they had it.

05:46:15.740 --> 05:46:17.740
Granted not in this game, but previous.

05:46:17.740 --> 05:46:20.740
Squeezing and really dying to encircle on those opponents.

05:46:20.740 --> 05:46:23.740
That's a lay-off for Leaky back.

05:46:23.740 --> 05:46:24.740
Well, he's going to fall.

05:46:24.740 --> 05:46:27.740
He's going to fall, but Solotov's going to move quickly in.

05:46:27.740 --> 05:46:31.740
Realizing the loss and presence for Falcons, he tries to compensate with timing.

05:46:31.740 --> 05:46:34.740
Sprinting on into Jim, but Biddy came good for the retake.

05:46:34.740 --> 05:46:37.740
Lining up the second as Solotov positioned well-known at this point.

05:46:37.740 --> 05:46:42.740
Displaced deeper in the bedroom, and he's not finding the gaps that LickyFack has hit so far.

05:46:42.740 --> 05:46:47.740
He's got information that can make it work, but not if Handy's pre-firing like that.

05:46:47.740 --> 05:46:50.740
Jume's position revealed, and Jume quickly dispatched.

05:46:50.740 --> 05:46:54.980
their first after the attack

05:46:54.980 --> 05:46:58.080
timeout and finally an answer

05:46:58.080 --> 05:46:59.140
for Falcons. Very impactful

05:46:59.140 --> 05:47:00.320
time out there and it really

05:47:00.320 --> 05:47:02.040
changing the pace of the game

05:47:02.040 --> 05:47:03.240
at the moment in time. Think

05:47:03.240 --> 05:47:04.620
it was necessary really

05:47:04.620 --> 05:47:06.020
because you think about how

05:47:06.020 --> 05:47:07.180
dominant those first couple

05:47:07.180 --> 05:47:08.380
of rounds were granted a lot of

05:47:08.380 --> 05:47:09.820
it off the back of one single

05:47:09.820 --> 05:47:11.580
player, but being enabled by

05:47:11.580 --> 05:47:12.920
the rest of the team, the gaps

05:47:12.920 --> 05:47:14.360
still being found by leaky

05:47:14.360 --> 05:47:15.720
fact. They're just not as wide

05:47:15.720 --> 05:47:17.820
than others. It's not like the

05:47:17.820 --> 05:47:19.260
Grand Canyon of gaps anymore in

05:47:19.260 --> 05:47:20.360
this phase defense. They've

05:47:20.360 --> 05:47:23.560
opening pick still going the opposite way. Falcons get the opening pick there and you

05:47:23.560 --> 05:47:26.120
think they're going to start to run with it and do some good work, but a couple of nice

05:47:26.120 --> 05:47:28.520
little double kills and everything quickly changes.

05:47:28.520 --> 05:47:33.680
Don't think anybody's surprised with FaZe banning Solid Snake against the guy who has

05:47:33.680 --> 05:47:39.520
got eight kills on Solid Snake through three rounds. And again, in all seriousness, it's

05:47:39.520 --> 05:47:43.480
one of those powerful ops in the game as well. I think FaZe not really any other option

05:47:43.480 --> 05:47:47.440
to ban going into the second half. On the flip side, taking down the bandit Falcons will

05:47:47.440 --> 05:47:51.820
facems at least less resistance from the hard-breached denial. The utility again

05:47:51.820 --> 05:47:55.580
wasn't like the main star of the show in round three, Ollie. That was just some

05:47:55.580 --> 05:47:57.540
good coordination by FaZe upstairs.

05:47:57.540 --> 05:48:01.500
I've been there with distraction tactic here of playing Snake in the first couple of rounds.

05:48:01.500 --> 05:48:06.100
Opens up something, opens up a strategy that we've seen Farkins employee exceptionally well.

05:48:06.100 --> 05:48:07.820
And that has been that lion play.

05:48:07.820 --> 05:48:11.100
Solotov uses it originally. Solotov switching off onto it.

05:48:11.100 --> 05:48:15.940
The lion in conjunction with some more of those information operators is gonna be a great tool.

05:48:15.940 --> 05:48:19.540
Information operates in this sense. Not a global, not a dope, not a Deimos.

05:48:19.540 --> 05:48:25.460
You're gonna be just rocking the shields. You've got UZIST and G.U. both looking to try and bring some of that shield action now.

05:48:25.460 --> 05:48:29.540
And with the way that we've seen that lion played, I imagine the first kill's gonna come through,

05:48:29.540 --> 05:48:34.820
through that lion scramble we hit, and it's gonna root the defenders in place and assist them in chaining that advantage.

05:48:34.820 --> 05:48:40.500
The Thatcher's what interests me though, because we don't have any exterior walls as the focus of this attack.

05:48:40.500 --> 05:48:42.940
It is a basement defense from the FaZe.

05:48:42.940 --> 05:48:45.100
It seems to indicate to me,

05:48:45.100 --> 05:48:46.900
Falcon's really gutting for the post-plant

05:48:46.900 --> 05:48:48.940
and looking to disable two of those C4s

05:48:48.940 --> 05:48:51.700
being brought by KDS and Vittacang, respectively.

05:48:51.700 --> 05:48:54.540
First-line scanners will go out, no Deimos to track them,

05:48:54.540 --> 05:48:55.900
but we'll route those defenders in place

05:48:55.900 --> 05:48:57.100
and give some good information,

05:48:57.100 --> 05:49:00.380
namely that two to three currently moving around the bomb site,

05:49:00.380 --> 05:49:02.140
and that we'll leave a couple in the wind,

05:49:02.140 --> 05:49:03.380
handing out, dropping down,

05:49:03.380 --> 05:49:05.100
jorting the rest of the defense,

05:49:05.100 --> 05:49:07.940
leaving KDS and Cyber up top.

05:49:07.940 --> 05:49:09.140
It was about this point in the round

05:49:09.140 --> 05:49:12.900
where we previously saw FaZe drop off when they defended this site in round number one.

05:49:12.900 --> 05:49:16.500
They had got an opening pick off the back of that. This time, there's no real point.

05:49:16.500 --> 05:49:21.700
They've not achieved enough yet to drop back and to give up and surrender that map control.

05:49:21.700 --> 05:49:24.260
Cyber, little bit of a chance of an engagement there.

05:49:24.260 --> 05:49:27.300
Isn't going to fully commit to it though. Couple of pop shots through the wall,

05:49:27.300 --> 05:49:30.740
gets himself down those main stairs. Still with KDS at the top,

05:49:30.740 --> 05:49:32.660
there's a bit of an unknown factor right now.

05:49:35.060 --> 05:49:37.700
Whether or not he's unknown is going to be the big question here.

05:49:37.700 --> 05:49:40.820
And see one shield repelling up to the roof.

05:49:40.820 --> 05:49:44.160
That's Jume on the Blackbeard, who might just hop in the bedroom window.

05:49:44.160 --> 05:49:46.740
KDS, both of them now.

05:49:46.740 --> 05:49:48.900
Fires some potshots over towards the Blackbeard.

05:49:48.900 --> 05:49:52.780
Losing the Zodos might be rough, but KDS will try to survive as long as he can.

05:49:52.780 --> 05:49:59.340
Being pinched by two shields, I couldn't think of a worse situation for a roamer to face.

05:49:59.340 --> 05:50:01.980
KDS will try valiantly to survive as long as he can.

05:50:01.980 --> 05:50:06.220
But instead, Andy seeing him fall, and now looked to rat inside a garage.

05:50:06.220 --> 05:50:09.860
The question that we can only answer at the end of the round now is, did KDS do enough?

05:50:09.860 --> 05:50:14.300
Did he waste enough time? Nearly two minutes. Still with Handy out of action as well.

05:50:14.300 --> 05:50:16.500
Little bit on the top of these oil pit stairs.

05:50:16.500 --> 05:50:20.260
He's got a great chance after a few shots on Solotov, but does just let him pass.

05:50:20.260 --> 05:50:23.260
That's not the end of the world though, because he's still an unknown factor.

05:50:23.260 --> 05:50:26.940
We saw Falken's reaction incredibly well when the new one player was out on the road,

05:50:26.940 --> 05:50:29.580
but they had no idea about Handy.

05:50:29.580 --> 05:50:31.540
You still look at the cost though.

05:50:31.540 --> 05:50:35.700
Solotov losing some E1Ds that might be problematic by taking down those Zodos.

05:50:35.700 --> 05:50:36.900
It's still important.

05:50:36.900 --> 05:50:38.700
Paceup done good to mitigate the damage,

05:50:38.700 --> 05:50:41.300
but there is no decisive one for them just yet.

05:50:41.300 --> 05:50:46.000
Jume, locking in after a slow first quarter, trapped in smoke,

05:50:46.000 --> 05:50:50.000
recognizes his fate, and will accept it honorably.

05:50:50.000 --> 05:50:52.800
Cybers and Toxic canisters, handy with a couple kills.

05:50:52.800 --> 05:50:55.600
Breeday stuck at bottom main.

05:50:55.600 --> 05:50:57.500
Handy now with three.

05:50:57.500 --> 05:50:59.800
Looking to try and deny LickyFax double digits,

05:50:59.800 --> 05:51:03.200
keeping him locked inside of Modo, and souls will get it.

05:51:03.200 --> 05:51:06.000
He's win two in a row to tie things up early on.

05:51:06.880 --> 05:51:11.120
Not only was the contribution from KDS enough there in terms of the time that he wasted,

05:51:11.120 --> 05:51:16.800
but the fact that it was a big distraction and it held resource back from double and triple checking

05:51:16.800 --> 05:51:20.640
what was going on inside of Garage for Falcons. Binnerman holding to be honest stood at the top

05:51:20.640 --> 05:51:25.120
of oil pit stairs, but handy. He was dug in there for pretty much the majority in the round,

05:51:25.120 --> 05:51:29.840
at least right up until the point he gets the kill over onto Solotov, showed some great trigger

05:51:29.840 --> 05:51:31.560
Look at this, a point in there.

05:51:31.560 --> 05:51:35.120
Bit of a long bell really when June gets the kill inside the blue,

05:51:35.120 --> 05:51:36.400
but it was well-reacting soon.

05:51:36.400 --> 05:51:39.400
Bang, couple of shots of eight canisters over there.

05:51:39.400 --> 05:51:41.000
Another triple-three, four-handy.

05:51:43.680 --> 05:51:46.960
Hanny and Cybert both leading the way for this defensive side of FaZe,

05:51:46.960 --> 05:51:51.280
and that's not an uncommon sentence at literally any tournament in the past three years.

05:51:51.280 --> 05:51:53.120
Cybert, as I mentioned earlier, one of the best defenders,

05:51:53.120 --> 05:51:56.720
but Hanny pretty consistently one of the best players in the world

05:51:56.720 --> 05:51:59.800
and consistently an MVP or MVP contender for FaZe.

05:51:59.800 --> 05:52:02.960
At tournaments, they have one and lost.

05:52:02.960 --> 05:52:05.080
The defensive side, then bouncing back after the time,

05:52:05.080 --> 05:52:07.680
not just as instrumental as anything Raphael called.

05:52:07.680 --> 05:52:09.840
Now we'll go back to CCTV and see what adjustments

05:52:09.840 --> 05:52:10.960
both of these teams will make.

05:52:10.960 --> 05:52:13.200
Falcons having a preference for the double shield

05:52:13.200 --> 05:52:14.720
in round four,

05:52:14.720 --> 05:52:16.560
so doing that, things went quite well for them

05:52:16.560 --> 05:52:18.560
on the first go around on this attack.

05:52:18.560 --> 05:52:21.800
So I'll be involved in by Licky back on Snake again.

05:52:21.800 --> 05:52:23.840
Seems they'll be keeping a bit more of this

05:52:23.840 --> 05:52:25.720
execute or plant focus lineup.

05:52:25.720 --> 05:52:27.320
Now that Snake is still banned.

05:52:27.320 --> 05:52:30.160
They've got a nice slight Swiss army knife here, really, of tools, haven't they?

05:52:30.160 --> 05:52:32.960
You're gonna be able to get whatever they need to get open in terms of walls.

05:52:32.960 --> 05:52:35.280
Apology to the band, apology to the Thatcher.

05:52:35.280 --> 05:52:38.160
I look at the Thatcher and I think, that's gonna assist the garage player.

05:52:38.160 --> 05:52:40.800
We've got the one by Magnus, but we're gonna have some banshees in there.

05:52:40.800 --> 05:52:42.320
Soul is off on the door, man.

05:52:42.320 --> 05:52:44.400
It's not a bad tool to clear out that catwalk with.

05:52:44.400 --> 05:52:46.440
And if you can get in there and start to do a little bit of damage,

05:52:46.440 --> 05:52:49.000
it's all effectable through the draw hole.

05:52:49.000 --> 05:52:50.680
That wasn't on the bingo, Carl.

05:52:50.680 --> 05:52:53.720
The Jume is gonna pick up another kill here as an opener.

05:52:53.720 --> 05:52:55.840
He's been heavily involved in those opening engagements,

05:52:55.840 --> 05:52:57.840
We start to be on the right side of him now.

05:52:58.720 --> 05:53:00.220
The three out of four so far.

05:53:00.980 --> 05:53:05.420
June, when he gets going, as we've all seen in Paris, he can make magic happen.

05:53:07.020 --> 05:53:13.520
Two big 1v3s at that tournament just to keep secret alive, and it really seemed like he might just sail them to victory.

05:53:13.520 --> 05:53:16.220
But Faze again, ever consistent, denied them at that moment.

05:53:16.220 --> 05:53:20.420
But some good team play there to take down Cyber early on, handy with a C4.

05:53:21.300 --> 05:53:25.160
He tried bringing things back, but the drone slowly drifts by his head.

05:53:25.840 --> 05:53:28.440
probably doesn't feel as strong about that decision as he did before.

05:53:28.440 --> 05:53:31.500
Yuzus on cutoff, just sitting outside the lounge door right now,

05:53:31.500 --> 05:53:36.260
waiting to see if Handy or anybody from that matter decides to go for a walk through lounge.

05:53:36.260 --> 05:53:38.880
The FaZe have been pretty consistent about these decisions,

05:53:38.880 --> 05:53:42.340
trying to play their life, but as Handy takes the fight, Yuzus is ready for it.

05:53:42.340 --> 05:53:44.340
June next up on the KDS.

05:53:44.960 --> 05:53:46.960
Now it's Vidiking and Solz,

05:53:47.520 --> 05:53:50.000
trying to fight back with over half the round to go.

05:53:50.000 --> 05:53:52.760
The Tiki needs to be careful though, you can see him going back up the stairs.

05:53:52.760 --> 05:53:55.760
He doesn't want to leave Solz alone on the side right now.

05:53:55.760 --> 05:53:59.120
He has three toxic bay canisters, a minute 20 on the clock.

05:53:59.120 --> 05:54:00.520
A lot can be done with that.

05:54:00.520 --> 05:54:03.440
A C4 potentially would be a heck of a lot better,

05:54:03.440 --> 05:54:05.240
but Falcons don't need to rush this.

05:54:05.240 --> 05:54:07.960
They've got the advantage, they just need to leverage it,

05:54:07.960 --> 05:54:09.640
work themselves into the right position.

05:54:09.640 --> 05:54:12.080
We've got a bit of a stack up at the moment outside of Garage.

05:54:12.080 --> 05:54:13.280
That's free for the takers.

05:54:13.280 --> 05:54:15.560
And I imagine that drones are getting moved around now.

05:54:15.560 --> 05:54:19.200
Just to confirm that, we can start C players taking a little bit more space.

05:54:21.000 --> 05:54:23.200
To be told to use by Biddy King in response,

05:54:23.200 --> 05:54:26.280
Send out some toxic canisters over to the flat wall.

05:54:26.280 --> 05:54:31.120
SMG-11 not normally the gun we see used on that off angle.

05:54:31.120 --> 05:54:32.760
Got a lot of recoil for an engagement.

05:54:32.760 --> 05:54:36.280
That is about 30 yards away, it feels like.

05:54:36.280 --> 05:54:37.120
They'll try their best.

05:54:37.120 --> 05:54:41.080
Jume slowly being kicked down by some toxic gas, I believe.

05:54:41.080 --> 05:54:43.320
And Falcons, a minute since we kind of

05:54:43.320 --> 05:54:45.200
reached this 2B4 Equilibrium.

05:54:45.200 --> 05:54:47.760
The big problem here is that the King has got a great line,

05:54:47.760 --> 05:54:49.400
and Jume's just going to give himself away.

05:54:49.400 --> 05:54:52.360
Solz is miles away, but he has been held for about a minute

05:54:52.360 --> 05:54:57.240
by users now making has to deny has got to deny with no talks and canisters remaining

05:54:57.240 --> 05:55:02.080
I'll just have to be with the SMG 11 we have seen some crazy shots Ruxen treating us to

05:55:02.080 --> 05:55:06.600
a spectacle on this weapon earlier a bit of King little less so as it's windy inside of

05:55:06.600 --> 05:55:11.000
cash they'll give licky fat the opening to hop in go for the plant in default needs to

05:55:11.000 --> 05:55:17.760
win this fight on the platform player but Breide ready for it Falcons breaking phases

05:55:17.760 --> 05:55:21.440
momentum and have guaranteed themselves an even half it's a very difficult job that

05:55:21.440 --> 05:55:26.400
both Breda and users do at the end of that round, users hold an angle onto gym window

05:55:26.400 --> 05:55:30.400
for what felt like about a minute, and Breda never really got himself off repel.

05:55:30.400 --> 05:55:35.600
It wasn't required, but having to sit there, having to hold that angle and just know that

05:55:35.600 --> 05:55:39.280
the team is going to get on with the rest of it and give you that opportunity, force

05:55:39.280 --> 05:55:43.760
that player out of position, it's a very thankless task. Fortunately, they both got the moment

05:55:43.760 --> 05:55:48.760
in the sun, picking up a kill, a piece there to cement a brief lead here for Falcons as

05:55:48.760 --> 05:55:50.880
as we approach the halfway point of map one.

05:55:52.560 --> 05:55:54.520
Continuing their run of success on the opening kills,

05:55:54.520 --> 05:55:56.320
though that's the first time it actually results

05:55:56.320 --> 05:55:58.000
in a successful round for Falcons.

05:55:58.000 --> 05:55:59.600
It's been a game of recovery so far.

05:55:59.600 --> 05:56:02.160
That one, the only one that's been successfully converted

05:56:02.160 --> 05:56:04.680
by the winning team, in this case Falcons.

05:56:04.680 --> 05:56:07.280
Now, next up for the final site on defense,

05:56:07.280 --> 05:56:09.960
moving over to Jim and Bedroom for phases.

05:56:09.960 --> 05:56:12.680
Last attempt to tie the half.

05:56:12.680 --> 05:56:13.520
Bob looking right.

05:56:13.520 --> 05:56:14.360
Doing really good.

05:56:14.360 --> 05:56:15.200
In the middle of things,

05:56:15.200 --> 05:56:16.720
coming out of that tack timeout.

05:56:16.720 --> 05:56:20.920
The last thing we want to see is Falcons winning a round without Licky Fat going massive.

05:56:20.920 --> 05:56:23.160
That was a slow burn for Falcons.

05:56:23.160 --> 05:56:27.360
We won with every position covered, all the utility being used and everybody on the same page.

05:56:28.720 --> 05:56:33.320
Yeah, it's gone from standout performance, it's gone from S.I. to just a normal game of siege right now.

05:56:33.320 --> 05:56:38.000
We've seen it up in individual performance today already, and we've only watched a couple of games.

05:56:46.720 --> 05:56:53.040
In fact, take it a peek early, if I saw her get a kill from this angle, right at the beginning

05:56:53.040 --> 05:56:58.040
of this series against Jume, nobody looking to take a fight like we saw before.

05:56:58.040 --> 05:57:02.520
It's been a very slight measure of decrease in the early round presence from FaZe, but

05:57:02.520 --> 05:57:04.560
I think in moments like this, noticeable.

05:57:04.560 --> 05:57:08.960
Starting things out, very aggressive, swinging the main stairs window, trying to contest

05:57:08.960 --> 05:57:10.960
some of those extremities on Jim DeGroove.

05:57:10.960 --> 05:57:15.120
It's the same, can't be said, we've got a couple players over to CCTV at Cash, it's

05:57:15.120 --> 05:57:18.920
KDS and handy currently playing over on the east side, but even then

05:57:20.320 --> 05:57:26.140
Fairly ready to retreat if the moment arises not facing any pressure at the moment beyond a whole open and con

05:57:26.380 --> 05:57:30.220
Just trying to waste some more time over by flat Zodo canister goes down again

05:57:30.260 --> 05:57:37.200
We were treated to a spectacle early on with some crazy plays about the back half of this clubhouse attack from Falcons has been

05:57:37.380 --> 05:57:39.380
Slow and steady

05:57:39.380 --> 05:57:45.380
Yes, Sam, we saw this side. It was round number three, and we had Lisa Frank still trying to just walk in and find a lot of space.

05:57:45.380 --> 05:57:50.380
That's not being the game plan for the last couple of rounds from Falcons. They've transitioned into something much more traditional now.

05:57:50.380 --> 05:57:54.380
And he's doing them quite well. Good control around being starting to be taken.

05:57:54.380 --> 05:57:57.380
They're at least starting to burn away some of this utility handy.

05:57:57.380 --> 05:58:02.380
He used his Zoto canisters now, so the walls wasn't really going to be stopping them from getting open, you can see now.

05:58:02.380 --> 05:58:06.380
That's all picture and picture. There might be an opening up of that flat wall.

05:58:06.380 --> 05:58:10.300
Good presence inside a carriage as well, and it just forces these fades by attack.

05:58:10.300 --> 05:58:13.580
Fortunately for them, it must have been open, so if there's no real consequence to that,

05:58:13.580 --> 05:58:16.180
Rosé is going to be getting open now by Juba.

05:58:17.680 --> 05:58:21.580
Why do you tell me the Falcons need to make good on this investment so far?

05:58:21.580 --> 05:58:22.880
Two minutes we spent.

05:58:22.880 --> 05:58:25.180
We've got bees, we've got candelos that we just saw.

05:58:25.680 --> 05:58:26.980
The time is starting to run out.

05:58:26.980 --> 05:58:30.380
Not that I'm getting low on time, Ollie, but with a minute to go and they just open platform,

05:58:30.380 --> 05:58:33.780
Faze has done a good job at stalling, and Handy has done a good job of fighting back.

05:58:33.780 --> 05:58:36.620
Jube has been having a lot of trouble in this series so far.

05:58:37.860 --> 05:58:39.360
Got a few kills throughout, but...

05:58:40.200 --> 05:58:43.000
Constantly opening engagements and now two and three again.

05:58:43.000 --> 05:58:46.940
Going down early, Yuzus down on Metal balcony as FaZe

05:58:46.940 --> 05:58:50.940
have stalled time in the early round and now gone big in the late.

05:58:50.940 --> 05:58:51.940
Looking back.

05:58:52.780 --> 05:58:55.780
As Breide finds Cyber somewhere around the site,

05:58:55.780 --> 05:58:57.780
looking for the solo con push.

05:58:57.780 --> 05:59:00.400
Has a line on the player, trapped on bedroom door,

05:59:00.400 --> 05:59:03.400
but with watching players behind him and handy getting another.

05:59:03.400 --> 05:59:04.520
Reloading! Cover me!

05:59:04.520 --> 05:59:06.760
It has just felt like Falcons over the last minute.

05:59:07.320 --> 05:59:11.080
The last 40 seconds have slowly bled out in phase

05:59:11.720 --> 05:59:14.920
with just consistent pressure tie things up.

05:59:14.920 --> 05:59:18.360
Everybody's so well disciplined from phase there at the dying portion of the round.

05:59:18.360 --> 05:59:19.800
No one giving any peaks away.

05:59:19.800 --> 05:59:21.480
No one's trying to make anything happen

05:59:21.480 --> 05:59:24.200
and just really getting that job done cementing the round.

05:59:25.320 --> 05:59:26.520
So what do you want to do?

05:59:26.520 --> 05:59:27.960
I didn't know you wanted to bounce it like that.

05:59:27.960 --> 05:59:28.520
Listen to me, listen to me.

05:59:28.520 --> 05:59:29.720
Listen to me, listen to me.

05:59:29.720 --> 05:59:30.600
You want to catch it?

05:59:30.600 --> 05:59:33.160
Yeah, for church you guys know what they do.

05:59:33.400 --> 05:59:35.400
I can't explain the difference.

05:59:35.400 --> 05:59:40.160
Yeah, I think we don't do too much, just play a little bit, I think it's more like the way we want to play, you know?

05:59:40.160 --> 05:59:43.520
The only good thing they did was just forward taking together and playing aggro, you know?

05:59:43.520 --> 05:59:46.720
And I think anything we do, if we do together, it's good.

05:59:46.720 --> 05:59:53.520
If we play forward take, we can play really aggro at the start, together, they mainly just resume everything,

05:59:53.520 --> 05:59:56.520
they just push everywhere, they apply pressure, no, default phase, you know?

05:59:56.520 --> 06:00:02.360
And then they're going to see where is the gap and they're just going to push on this, so yeah, for me it's that simple.

06:00:02.360 --> 06:00:06.000
Their strong partners is when they execute, they execute all together, okay?

06:00:06.000 --> 06:00:09.000
They have a really good team play, so that's the only thing we look careful about.

06:00:09.000 --> 06:00:13.640
Mainly for replacement, they execute from Blue's Danger, or Kitchen Dirt, okay?

06:00:13.640 --> 06:00:16.960
Also, they do phase attacks, we cyber on the window,

06:00:16.960 --> 06:00:20.800
or they can do top floor control with Shieldmaster, Jumping Con, okay?

06:00:20.800 --> 06:00:25.600
Third team, usually they go direct with Andy Window, KDS, BB, Office Hatch, get the BB.

06:00:25.600 --> 06:00:27.600
I have a lot of luck with BB, you should continue alive, though.

06:00:27.600 --> 06:00:31.120
Ok, but you want to start, you don't want to start at 3.2, so...

06:00:31.120 --> 06:00:34.120
That's it, if you fall, you die, Diablo?

06:00:34.120 --> 06:00:36.220
If you fall at 2, you fall at other 3.

06:00:36.220 --> 06:00:38.980
Ok, but then the blue one is black and the guy is green?

06:00:38.980 --> 06:00:41.780
You can climb, remember, apparently, live, it's cool, right?

06:00:41.780 --> 06:00:43.280
Yeah, sure.

06:00:44.080 --> 06:00:46.080
And today, it's a wrap.

06:00:47.080 --> 06:00:48.080
That's it.

06:00:50.080 --> 06:00:51.080
That's it.

06:00:51.080 --> 06:00:54.580
Ok, but the part you fall from the sky is easier than the initial garage, right?

06:00:54.580 --> 06:00:56.080
If you fall over the mountain.

06:00:57.600 --> 06:01:00.600
I'm going to take the main, it's going to be empty

06:01:01.600 --> 06:01:02.600
We can cap the chopper

06:01:02.600 --> 06:01:05.600
Do you know if the other one is driving there?

06:01:05.600 --> 06:01:06.600
In the truck?

06:01:07.600 --> 06:01:09.600
Yes, he's driving the doll

06:01:09.600 --> 06:01:11.600
Oh, that one is driving the doll?

06:01:11.600 --> 06:01:14.600
I don't know if he's driving the doll, but he's driving the doll

06:01:15.600 --> 06:01:17.600
Let's go

06:01:17.600 --> 06:01:20.600
I'm going to take the C4 mirror, because the other one is driving the mirror

06:01:22.600 --> 06:01:23.600
Let's go

06:01:24.600 --> 06:01:25.600
Let's go

06:01:27.600 --> 06:01:32.680
Quick regroup at the half for Falcons in phase as we stand at 3-3 for both teams

06:01:33.200 --> 06:01:38.880
They's moving to the attack and Falcons moving to the defense. It's tricky so far up until the past

06:01:39.440 --> 06:01:44.160
Round five and six. They still have seen so far Ali not a clear lead for either team

06:01:44.160 --> 06:01:48.640
I mean it has been quite a slow burn for the back half of that first level for that first half

06:01:48.640 --> 06:01:52.640
And hopefully we see I think a little bit more pace because both these teams are quite excellent

06:01:52.640 --> 06:01:55.360
And it's good seed so far. I'd like to see a little bit more

06:01:55.360 --> 06:01:58.000
I'd like to see a little more of that SR energy we saw earlier.

06:01:58.000 --> 06:01:59.080
I mean, even half.

06:01:59.080 --> 06:02:00.840
So it's always going to be a good game, isn't it?

06:02:00.840 --> 06:02:03.200
I think FaZe started off very slow.

06:02:03.200 --> 06:02:05.280
That was evident in the first two rounds being taken.

06:02:05.280 --> 06:02:08.320
Not only that, but the fashion in which those first two rounds were won in.

06:02:08.320 --> 06:02:11.680
It was very dominant again, and it all came down to big solo players.

06:02:11.680 --> 06:02:16.840
FaZe is not a team that will let one player shine head and shoulders above the rest consistently.

06:02:16.840 --> 06:02:18.080
And it's been shown here.

06:02:18.080 --> 06:02:21.600
Title timeout, shut down, and now we've got a 3-3 half.

06:02:21.600 --> 06:02:23.520
Time to adjust, time to reset.

06:02:23.520 --> 06:02:25.520
to go on to their own attacks

06:02:25.520 --> 06:02:27.520
and to show us what they've got.

06:02:27.520 --> 06:02:29.520
Of course, Falcons to flick over

06:02:29.520 --> 06:02:31.520
onto their defenses. It's difficult

06:02:31.520 --> 06:02:33.520
to say who it favors at this point

06:02:33.520 --> 06:02:35.520
in the game, and I think it still

06:02:35.520 --> 06:02:37.520
just kind of hangs in the balance.

06:02:37.520 --> 06:02:39.520
It's map one. It is map one. It's also Falcons pick.

06:02:39.520 --> 06:02:41.520
It's also Clubhouse. Matt, I think both teams

06:02:41.520 --> 06:02:43.520
quite adept on will be quite experienced

06:02:43.520 --> 06:02:45.520
on. Give a bit of a tech pause.

06:02:45.520 --> 06:02:47.520
Apologies for the delay.

06:02:47.520 --> 06:02:49.520
Solza said two good of a tournament.

06:02:49.520 --> 06:02:51.520
We decided to kick him out of the game.

06:02:51.520 --> 06:02:53.520
He's a very good tournament.

06:02:53.520 --> 06:02:54.520
He's had a very good tournament.

06:02:54.520 --> 06:02:56.520
Highest rate player on the phase coming into the day.

06:02:56.520 --> 06:03:00.520
We make that point, but we could have literally said that about any other tournament in the past, like, five years, basically.

06:03:00.520 --> 06:03:03.520
I think you could do. The consistency's there, isn't it, with Solz?

06:03:03.520 --> 06:03:08.520
Not often does he get the big flashy plays. He's just always there, often lost alive.

06:03:08.520 --> 06:03:11.520
Although, Handy's taken that mantle away from him a little bit now as well.

06:03:11.520 --> 06:03:20.520
He's taken the mantle from him, and I will say, I still will remember sitting in South Hallow watching Night Haven Labs when I saw him miss a few prone shots on the floor.

06:03:20.520 --> 06:03:22.320
And oh, we all know what happened after that.

06:03:22.320 --> 06:03:24.920
So Souls 1, just as human as the rest of us,

06:03:24.920 --> 06:03:27.680
but I will say sometimes seems to enter a bit more God-like form

06:03:27.680 --> 06:03:29.080
than the other players on the phase.

06:03:29.080 --> 06:03:31.440
But again, you can pretty much say that about anybody.

06:03:31.440 --> 06:03:32.800
Vitaking is Monty Clutch is.

06:03:32.800 --> 06:03:35.120
Cyber has a solo roams on defense.

06:03:35.120 --> 06:03:37.320
KDS is just KDS half the time.

06:03:37.320 --> 06:03:39.080
And that's good enough.

06:03:39.080 --> 06:03:41.240
Balkans in the flip side.

06:03:41.240 --> 06:03:43.000
Never really trying to make a new system work,

06:03:43.000 --> 06:03:45.240
but the loss of Shiko is always going to be a problem.

06:03:45.240 --> 06:03:46.040
There's always going to be something

06:03:46.040 --> 06:03:48.520
you have to work around given the size and the magnitude

06:03:48.520 --> 06:03:49.640
of a player like that.

06:03:49.640 --> 06:03:53.080
So far, attempting to recreate him in the aggregate required a bit of a lower bracket run.

06:03:53.080 --> 06:03:55.840
But I think that is expected for any team that's made a change.

06:03:57.240 --> 06:03:59.280
And what a run it was for Falcons.

06:03:59.280 --> 06:04:03.880
They run a bit of a gong look through the Swiss stage, 11 maps to get to this point now.

06:04:04.600 --> 06:04:07.120
And I think that was demonstrated in the opening start of this game, wasn't it?

06:04:07.120 --> 06:04:11.240
They came out very hot, very, no messing about, we're straight into it.

06:04:12.320 --> 06:04:14.080
Faze had that little warm up time, didn't they?

06:04:14.080 --> 06:04:16.120
They had that just period of idling,

06:04:16.120 --> 06:04:22.140
It's never going to take phase too long to warm up into a series that much. We know for certain

06:04:23.420 --> 06:04:27.000
There's falcons being the team that stands in their way at the moment

06:04:29.680 --> 06:04:30.920
See it's

06:04:30.920 --> 06:04:35.400
Taking its toll a little bit on those players. Good boy guys for the extended tech port here

06:04:36.080 --> 06:04:39.400
Hopefully we'll get souls back into the lobby as soon as possible

06:04:40.360 --> 06:04:44.560
I'm sure we've got a computer or two line around we can replace with if necessary

06:04:44.560 --> 06:04:47.560
Sorry, we'll make sure that they are fully set up.

06:04:47.560 --> 06:04:49.560
So, Lake, can you guys indulge me for a second?

06:04:49.560 --> 06:04:51.560
I just want to ask a few questions.

06:04:51.560 --> 06:04:53.560
Do you guys actually want FaZe to win?

06:04:59.560 --> 06:05:02.560
I was going to say it because it sounded pretty even earlier

06:05:02.560 --> 06:05:05.560
and I was like, there's no way that in a North American event

06:05:05.560 --> 06:05:08.560
we're rooting for the one Brazilian team

06:05:08.560 --> 06:05:12.560
who's beat every North American team at this tournament.

06:05:12.560 --> 06:05:15.960
So just to clarify, do you want Vulcans to win?

06:05:21.960 --> 06:05:25.200
I really just needed to set the record straight because I came in quite mad.

06:05:25.240 --> 06:05:27.480
I was very worried as a North American.

06:05:27.480 --> 06:05:30.080
I was very worried and we're all good.

06:05:31.080 --> 06:05:34.960
I appreciate you all for bearing with me and bearing with us as well as we have

06:05:35.240 --> 06:05:37.200
thankfully souls back in the lobby.

06:05:37.200 --> 06:05:40.720
Hopefully we'll get things underway in just the next 10 to 15 seconds.

06:05:40.720 --> 06:05:45.880
clubhouse it's a tie game 3-3 as competitive as it can be for our first half.

06:05:45.880 --> 06:05:50.760
The FaZe have made some good pace in round six and as they move on to the other side

06:05:50.760 --> 06:05:52.760
are looking to carry forth that moment.

06:05:52.760 --> 06:05:57.560
What a bang potential here for the hard breaches.

06:05:57.560 --> 06:05:59.560
Two hard breaches removed from Vulcans.

06:05:59.560 --> 06:06:02.560
They're taking out the thermite and that Hibana.

06:06:02.560 --> 06:06:05.760
FaZe on the flip side removing both electrification ups as well.

06:06:05.760 --> 06:06:07.960
Kaden Bandit, see you later.

06:06:07.960 --> 06:06:10.840
Incredibly high van rate for both those two.

06:06:10.840 --> 06:06:13.600
Asshole 8 specifically.

06:06:13.600 --> 06:06:16.360
And these teams are starting to really like the idea of just

06:06:16.360 --> 06:06:19.120
being able to get stuff open and not have too much to worry

06:06:19.120 --> 06:06:20.360
about.

06:06:20.360 --> 06:06:23.800
Of course, secondary half-reach is a thing nowadays.

06:06:23.800 --> 06:06:25.640
So you can bring an ace, you can bring a Monty,

06:06:25.640 --> 06:06:26.440
you can bring a Grim.

06:06:26.440 --> 06:06:28.640
You've still got a heck of a lot of potential

06:06:28.640 --> 06:06:30.200
for getting those walls open.

06:06:30.200 --> 06:06:33.360
Big problem with that is, of course, a mirror window.

06:06:33.360 --> 06:06:41.360
Jesus, sure we'll be looking to be a bit of a nightmare with these placements, nor did we can see one on this platform, and we're getting that open straight away.

06:06:43.360 --> 06:06:48.360
Another operator we see make her debut on Falcon's defense, or at least not on the defense for Clubhouse, would be that thorn.

06:06:48.360 --> 06:06:51.360
Not something I believe we saw entirely in the first half from FaZe.

06:06:51.360 --> 06:06:56.360
So those Razor Bloomsaw, all the time falling back. Now looking over towards the Grim in secret.

06:06:57.360 --> 06:07:02.360
This is a baseman defense. Everybody act surprised. We've gone here for the first round.

06:07:03.360 --> 06:07:06.800
So, FaZe, saying this, oh that's awkward.

06:07:06.800 --> 06:07:09.360
I don't know what you can do about that.

06:07:09.360 --> 06:07:11.360
You banned the mirror.

06:07:11.360 --> 06:07:12.360
Honestly.

06:07:12.360 --> 06:07:14.360
Well that's a solution for three rounds from now.

06:07:14.360 --> 06:07:15.360
We are currently round seven.

06:07:15.360 --> 06:07:18.360
There's not too much that you're going to be able to do about that and use this.

06:07:18.360 --> 06:07:19.360
That's why you placed it there.

06:07:19.360 --> 06:07:20.360
It makes it so awkward.

06:07:20.360 --> 06:07:24.360
It's going to give a bit more security since the solo's up down there playing on small steps.

06:07:24.360 --> 06:07:27.360
And the clock is going to go, oh this clock's in the mouth!

06:07:27.360 --> 06:07:28.360
Oh my god!

06:07:28.360 --> 06:07:30.360
Man it gets to be saved there.

06:07:30.360 --> 06:07:32.360
It doesn't stop the opening pick from happening.

06:07:32.360 --> 06:07:34.360
Or if it's the king is left super low.

06:07:34.360 --> 06:07:38.360
I have not seen defenders pounce on a Monty quite like that.

06:07:38.360 --> 06:07:41.360
I think everybody cheering for those shield changes.

06:07:41.360 --> 06:07:43.360
On most costs, VitaKing his life.

06:07:43.360 --> 06:07:46.360
But FaZe knowing how strong their IGL is on that Monty.

06:07:46.360 --> 06:07:49.360
Want to keep him intact as we move into the late game.

06:07:49.360 --> 06:07:51.360
An operator that's up to banned against VitaKing.

06:07:51.360 --> 06:07:54.360
But these exact reasons, but putting him to 1 HP.

06:07:54.360 --> 06:07:56.360
All Falcons have to do is take a step back.

06:07:56.360 --> 06:07:59.360
They've got a C4, they've got Vulcan packs and Razor Blooms.

06:07:59.360 --> 06:08:05.360
Sure, maybe a lot of utility for FaZe, Ollie, but that Monty is not nearly the powerhouse he once was.

06:08:05.360 --> 06:08:12.360
Yeah, that Monty, he's dead to pretty much anything at the moment. Even an impact thrown in a decent location is going to be the damage.

06:08:12.360 --> 06:08:17.360
Look at this. Second reshot, then being used for a little bit of soft breach.

06:08:17.360 --> 06:08:22.360
Okay, if you go in for something a little bit more pinpoint, light destroyed, one of those fire ingredients, but...

06:08:22.360 --> 06:08:23.360
Hot breach!

06:08:23.360 --> 06:08:26.360
...it's never going to give you the sheer match stays off from required.

06:08:26.360 --> 06:08:28.720
With three bodies here and a very low Monty.

06:08:28.720 --> 06:08:32.880
You're going to be split in this final push, split in this execute.

06:08:32.880 --> 06:08:35.960
It's going to be a Moto-Hatch drop, that much is almost certain.

06:08:35.960 --> 06:08:37.680
A little bit of a mainstayers element in there.

06:08:37.680 --> 06:08:40.800
Kitchen, there's just not been enough work done in that area.

06:08:42.800 --> 06:08:44.280
It's as easy as that.

06:08:44.280 --> 06:08:47.040
Literally as easy as that to take care of Bitter King.

06:08:48.040 --> 06:08:50.360
Very quick investment from Jumen, he used this earlier,

06:08:50.360 --> 06:08:52.680
and it pays off with a sequel in the late round.

06:08:52.680 --> 06:08:54.520
And things were split before.

06:08:54.520 --> 06:08:57.240
Handy and KDS on opposite sides of blue.

06:08:57.240 --> 06:08:59.480
But Handy almost has two lineup for him.

06:08:59.480 --> 06:09:00.840
Uses good with that trade.

06:09:00.840 --> 06:09:03.800
KDS position revealed inside of blue.

06:09:03.800 --> 06:09:05.720
To move down generator.

06:09:05.720 --> 06:09:09.800
Trappin'l in his leg limping to a likely round loss.

06:09:09.800 --> 06:09:11.080
All of his Bs gone.

06:09:11.080 --> 06:09:13.160
No angles going his way.

06:09:13.160 --> 06:09:16.040
Valken's will answer back phases victory

06:09:16.040 --> 06:09:17.080
with one of their own.

06:09:18.520 --> 06:09:20.680
Very successful top floor hold there from Valken.

06:09:20.680 --> 06:09:21.720
They pay the price.

06:09:21.720 --> 06:09:24.120
They lost two bodies in very quick succession.

06:09:24.120 --> 06:09:28.120
But the teamwork and the synergy inside the garage was just beautiful to behold.

06:09:29.120 --> 06:09:33.120
Faze desperately trying to keep everybody alive, desperately trying to save Monty

06:09:33.120 --> 06:09:37.120
and destroy the key of our kid so Monty could back up out of garage.

06:09:38.120 --> 06:09:40.120
And it just wasn't enough in the end.

06:09:41.120 --> 06:09:43.120
He's very loose to slash damage there.

06:09:43.120 --> 06:09:46.120
Z-Souls whacking away trying to make something happen.

06:09:48.120 --> 06:09:50.120
Even users jumping out.

06:09:50.120 --> 06:09:53.120
I hadn't actually clocked to the time who it was that was trying to save Vitteking

06:09:53.120 --> 06:09:55.660
with users managing to get himself an angle there.

06:09:55.660 --> 06:09:58.860
Troubles from downstairs, bottom of blue to pick that kill up on Solve,

06:09:58.860 --> 06:10:01.960
just taking advantage of that confusion and that chaos.

06:10:04.560 --> 06:10:07.160
Really great team play from Falcons in the early game there,

06:10:07.160 --> 06:10:08.760
and of course, his closing things down in the late.

06:10:08.760 --> 06:10:11.920
Got a little nervous when we saw Handy walking down Modo

06:10:11.920 --> 06:10:13.460
and has the two line up for him.

06:10:13.460 --> 06:10:15.260
Run for beauty!

06:10:15.260 --> 06:10:16.600
Paris Handy does not miss that.

06:10:16.600 --> 06:10:18.460
Paris Handy gets all three kills, actually.

06:10:18.460 --> 06:10:19.520
Reach away at that.

06:10:19.520 --> 06:10:21.060
Like a lot of Handys do, to be fair.

06:10:21.060 --> 06:10:22.060
Thanks for waiting.

06:10:22.060 --> 06:10:24.700
Give him a couple of rounds time and he probably picks up both of those.

06:10:24.700 --> 06:10:25.740
He's also 10 and 4.

06:10:25.740 --> 06:10:27.820
So we don't really need to critique too much.

06:10:27.820 --> 06:10:30.900
Mandy having an excellent showing on Clubhouse so far.

06:10:30.900 --> 06:10:34.460
Cyber cooled off a bit, but thinking about Cyber this tournament,

06:10:34.460 --> 06:10:37.140
he's at like I think 120 or so EPS on defense.

06:10:37.140 --> 06:10:38.940
Only about 80 to 90 on the attack.

06:10:38.940 --> 06:10:42.500
This is by far and away his weaker side for base throughout this tournament.

06:10:43.740 --> 06:10:45.860
So we're gonna look to players like Kady,

06:10:45.860 --> 06:10:48.220
like Kady asked to try and pick up some of that slap.

06:10:48.220 --> 06:10:50.060
Now she's stopped and moved on 4 to 3.

06:10:50.060 --> 06:10:53.140
They start chaining together defenses, a win on Jim Beckham, for example.

06:10:53.500 --> 06:10:57.540
They's in a bit of tricky territory. This might be Falken's pick, but they haven't let...

06:10:58.180 --> 06:11:00.180
...comparatively speaking, underdogs...

06:11:00.700 --> 06:11:02.100
...again, we're doing this!

06:11:02.500 --> 06:11:03.500
We saw...

06:11:03.820 --> 06:11:07.700
...they's able to break through it last time, and look, Cyber coming in with the reaction...

06:11:08.020 --> 06:11:11.060
...just slipping in through lounge with a backstab against Jume...

06:11:11.300 --> 06:11:13.540
...who's been having a rough tournament so far.

06:11:14.180 --> 06:11:17.860
That's a very brave change that Leaky Fack has just made.

06:11:17.860 --> 06:11:21.860
In the line of the Monty, she's switched over on Skopos.

06:11:21.860 --> 06:11:23.420
Another kill coming in now.

06:11:23.420 --> 06:11:26.420
Saw it off in June, both out of action here.

06:11:26.420 --> 06:11:27.860
And FaZe in much better shape.

06:11:27.860 --> 06:11:30.500
They're not getting fooled again by that keeper barricade trick,

06:11:30.500 --> 06:11:33.500
trying to zone out that Monty.

06:11:33.500 --> 06:11:36.260
Now, Cyber ready for it, just moving into the lounge.

06:11:36.260 --> 06:11:37.620
Wiki back in the difficult position.

06:11:37.620 --> 06:11:39.420
He's got to fall back.

06:11:39.420 --> 06:11:40.860
Got to make his way back to the site,

06:11:40.860 --> 06:11:43.660
join the rest of the team on Jim in bedroom.

06:11:43.660 --> 06:11:46.700
The minute 46 seconds to go, what are Falcon's options?

06:11:46.700 --> 06:11:50.540
They just have to try to take a fight in this mid-game, work a pick back,

06:11:50.540 --> 06:11:53.260
because you have users with the C4 for later,

06:11:53.260 --> 06:11:56.220
but Oli, we've got a long way to go until we reach that point,

06:11:56.220 --> 06:11:59.500
and we have a hell of a drone in sight,

06:11:59.500 --> 06:12:01.900
a direct line on two of the remaining defenders.

06:12:01.900 --> 06:12:04.380
That's going to be massive, especially with the extra couple of mana advantage.

06:12:04.380 --> 06:12:07.420
You can commit somebody to the windows, you can get somebody in below.

06:12:07.420 --> 06:12:10.060
Those bees are going to further that information advantage,

06:12:10.060 --> 06:12:13.420
and it looks like Scythe will just be going through a wall with those main stairs.

06:12:13.420 --> 06:12:16.220
5v3, and they're still adding another dimension, by the way.

06:12:16.700 --> 06:12:19.700
Still going for a backstab that Yuzus is ready for!

06:12:20.700 --> 06:12:24.700
He's been greedy taking out the Lodgy player and like that, five to come two.

06:12:24.700 --> 06:12:26.700
Bidikin with a shield as well.

06:12:26.700 --> 06:12:31.700
Hey, yes, the only player with a gun to try to escort FaZe into a post-plant.

06:12:31.700 --> 06:12:33.700
Bidikin quickly moving in as well.

06:12:33.700 --> 06:12:35.700
One defender and Lodgy, the other in the hallway.

06:12:35.700 --> 06:12:38.700
Cyber gets one, but Yuzus with the next.

06:12:38.700 --> 06:12:41.700
Bidikin's been here before, but the shield changes.

06:12:41.700 --> 06:12:45.700
Make him on T1v1. A little more difficult.

06:12:45.700 --> 06:12:47.700
Being knocked back and forth.

06:12:48.700 --> 06:12:50.700
Okay, it has viticking prepped.

06:12:50.700 --> 06:12:53.700
Has he dry ran these changes?

06:12:54.700 --> 06:12:55.700
Trying his best.

06:12:55.700 --> 06:12:57.700
Half the round gone.

06:12:57.700 --> 06:12:59.700
Just gotta move a little further.

06:12:59.700 --> 06:13:02.700
A user's resorting to some destructive ingredients.

06:13:02.700 --> 06:13:05.700
And still, it's been 30 seconds.

06:13:05.700 --> 06:13:09.700
Users, tick, tick, tick, tick.

06:13:09.700 --> 06:13:11.700
Can you get it?

06:13:11.700 --> 06:13:14.700
Better luck next time.

06:13:14.700 --> 06:13:24.700
You lost. We're unfortunate.

06:13:24.700 --> 06:13:26.700
You just rounds out the round on

06:13:26.700 --> 06:13:28.700
a quad kill, but it is pretty

06:13:28.700 --> 06:13:30.700
impactless. In the one V1 with

06:13:30.700 --> 06:13:32.700
the Monty. It's only real hope

06:13:32.700 --> 06:13:34.700
there was the fire extinguisher

06:13:34.700 --> 06:13:35.700
and he tried it, but you're

06:13:35.700 --> 06:13:37.700
going to get stunned as well. So

06:13:37.700 --> 06:13:38.700
you've got about as much

06:13:38.700 --> 06:13:40.700
chances here in his ears got to

06:13:40.700 --> 06:13:42.700
stay alive. Very well played

06:13:42.700 --> 06:13:49.700
They've been there multiple times before. The coverage, of course, good. Good enough at least enable that plant to go down.

06:13:50.700 --> 06:13:54.700
And another very close round between these two storied opponents.

06:13:56.700 --> 06:13:59.700
If only that opening portion had gone slightly different.

06:14:00.700 --> 06:14:02.700
Surprise that Facebook pulled out by against me first. Two rounds to go.

06:14:03.700 --> 06:14:07.700
We could see in his army throw a keeper bar and get it on to the bottom of the garage and expect to get something going.

06:14:07.700 --> 06:14:16.700
going gets the kill right at the very end it is a hollow victory unfortunately for

06:14:16.700 --> 06:14:21.620
users but a king he has been in that position and ungodly number of times

06:14:21.620 --> 06:14:25.740
maybe once he has the king in particular I feel like always seems to find

06:14:25.740 --> 06:14:31.500
themselves in these 1v1s face continue stealing rounds back and forth neither

06:14:31.500 --> 06:14:36.460
team a clear favorite at the moment for Falcons that becomes worrisome because

06:14:36.460 --> 06:14:42.460
The clubhouse might be their pick, Ollie, but next up we have a man that is just unbelievable for FaZe.

06:14:43.460 --> 06:14:46.460
Yeah, Charlie is no joke for FaZe.

06:14:46.460 --> 06:14:51.460
The only thing is, and we've said this a few times, because it's been no joke for him for a while,

06:14:51.460 --> 06:14:56.460
the only thing is there's a lot of tape on it, so there's a chance, you know, but FaZe just do the same thing every round anyway,

06:14:56.460 --> 06:14:59.460
so you can know what they're going to do, but there's still just a little bit better.

06:14:59.460 --> 06:15:05.460
And Charlie is definitely one of those grounds where they have proved themselves on repeatedly over the last six months.

06:15:06.460 --> 06:15:11.460
Still a ways till we get there, and I wouldn't put this one pass going into an overtime.

06:15:11.460 --> 06:15:14.460
Just given the back and forth nature that we've seen so far.

06:15:14.460 --> 06:15:18.460
We aren't really waiting for one team to start to streak away a little bit.

06:15:18.460 --> 06:15:21.460
Big performances that we've enjoyed on both sides.

06:15:21.460 --> 06:15:23.460
Think back to the last two rounds.

06:15:23.460 --> 06:15:25.460
We've had eight kills in the last two rounds.

06:15:27.460 --> 06:15:29.460
Moving up to level four, first player on Balkans.

06:15:29.460 --> 06:15:32.460
Did the break double digits on Clubhouse?

06:15:32.460 --> 06:15:33.460
He has some time.

06:15:33.460 --> 06:15:35.780
It mentions June having a rough map so far.

06:15:35.780 --> 06:15:37.180
Good tournament, very good player.

06:15:37.180 --> 06:15:38.300
Setting up a pre-season sequence.

06:15:38.300 --> 06:15:39.820
He's getting a little bit comfortable right now

06:15:39.820 --> 06:15:42.140
and taking his time.

06:15:42.140 --> 06:15:44.860
But a player we will need to see show up if Africans want

06:15:44.860 --> 06:15:46.140
this to be decisive.

06:15:46.140 --> 06:15:48.300
Another difficulty with his plow wall.

06:15:48.300 --> 06:15:51.180
Selma on, full open to impact out.

06:15:51.180 --> 06:15:53.060
Now FaZe need to dedicate a little more energy

06:15:53.060 --> 06:15:54.780
to opening up one of the more basic angles

06:15:54.780 --> 06:15:57.660
and more basic positions on clubhouse attack.

06:15:57.660 --> 06:16:00.020
Soliton scanner will find three of these roamers

06:16:00.020 --> 06:16:01.700
on the west side of the map.

06:16:03.460 --> 06:16:10.460
Both teams taking their time on this attacking side, mapping out every single nook, clearing every single cranny.

06:16:11.460 --> 06:16:18.460
In soliton, the one Gershmot in pocket might just find himself in a tricky position. He's taking down Cyber early.

06:16:19.460 --> 06:16:24.460
LickyFack also getting active as Viddicking trapped again, and Faze will fight back.

06:16:25.460 --> 06:16:28.460
Two players in these column angles find their roamers, find their targets.

06:16:28.460 --> 06:16:33.460
Falcons, they just make it back to the side in peace, but FaZe might have just saved them out.

06:16:33.460 --> 06:16:38.460
It's not often that you see KDS missing out on opportunities there, when he's playing those close-up positions.

06:16:38.460 --> 06:16:40.460
There were two players there that he could have locked in.

06:16:40.460 --> 06:16:43.460
A third now, just feels a bit slow in the gunfight at the minute.

06:16:43.460 --> 06:16:47.460
Solz is able to take down LeakyFact. There's a lot of information here, users.

06:16:47.460 --> 06:16:49.460
He's still got a Yo-Kai drone.

06:16:49.460 --> 06:16:51.460
Another Lion scan going to go out here from KDS.

06:16:51.460 --> 06:16:54.460
Yousse and Jume now need to buddy up.

06:16:54.460 --> 06:16:56.460
They know that the Monty is a factor.

06:16:56.460 --> 06:17:01.140
There's only two guns that they're gonna be going head up with, but there's still 30 seconds.

06:17:01.140 --> 06:17:06.100
And FaZe have time to gather this information, have time to figure out, okay, we've got one in garage,

06:17:06.100 --> 06:17:09.260
we now know there's one at the top of red, where's the flank gonna go now?

06:17:10.260 --> 06:17:14.660
He's gonna put it outside of Cash Door, as users baited in, great trade by Jume.

06:17:15.180 --> 06:17:18.100
And this is technically just a one-b-one against him and Solz right now.

06:17:18.660 --> 06:17:22.980
Hitter King has the shield up, can push the Azami to the brink on ADS,

06:17:22.980 --> 06:17:26.480
You're just trying to find a way through the phase.

06:17:26.480 --> 06:17:27.980
The time is ticking again.

06:17:27.980 --> 06:17:29.300
They're on the other end.

06:17:29.300 --> 06:17:30.100
Did it, King?

06:17:30.100 --> 06:17:31.540
And hit by a headshot.

06:17:31.540 --> 06:17:33.740
And Jume just one more second.

06:17:33.740 --> 06:17:39.900
How about that Salt Lake City?

06:17:42.580 --> 06:17:44.020
Jume's got something to say.

06:17:44.020 --> 06:17:57.140
It's been a while since we've seen Jume amped up like that, but he is a player with clutch

06:17:57.140 --> 06:17:58.900
running through his veins.

06:17:58.900 --> 06:18:04.340
Somehow, I think that might not be the only one we see today.

06:18:04.340 --> 06:18:05.340
Somehow I don't.

06:18:05.340 --> 06:18:11.460
Jume has a tendency to find himself in those 1BXs against FaZe, mentioned early those 2

06:18:11.460 --> 06:18:13.460
That made us all believe.

06:18:13.460 --> 06:18:15.460
That's why looking to see Jume get active

06:18:15.460 --> 06:18:17.460
is really important for Falkens in this series.

06:18:17.460 --> 06:18:19.460
He's not the win condition. Don't get me wrong.

06:18:19.460 --> 06:18:21.460
This is a very, very even team

06:18:21.460 --> 06:18:23.460
when it comes to skill and impact.

06:18:23.460 --> 06:18:25.460
But Jume in these big moments in the past year,

06:18:25.460 --> 06:18:27.460
on secret especially,

06:18:27.460 --> 06:18:29.460
has made magic happen.

06:18:29.460 --> 06:18:33.460
A 1v3 there for Faze to put Falkens back in the lead.

06:18:33.460 --> 06:18:36.460
And he got a little dicey there, let's be honest.

06:18:36.460 --> 06:18:38.460
The knife, as Solz is looking at him,

06:18:38.460 --> 06:18:40.460
we all panic a little bit.

06:18:40.460 --> 06:18:52.460
A Jume is fired up after round 9, showing FaZe that they will have to do a bit more work

06:18:52.460 --> 06:18:53.460
than that.

06:18:53.460 --> 06:18:56.460
Round 10 it is.

06:18:56.460 --> 06:19:03.100
The 5-4 score line, this becomes a pivotal round.

06:19:03.100 --> 06:19:09.580
A chance for Falcons to put themselves onto a map point, submit their own map choice inside

06:19:09.580 --> 06:19:10.960
this best of three.

06:19:10.960 --> 06:19:15.700
They're not looking a million miles off the pace, let's be honest.

06:19:15.700 --> 06:19:20.240
That was down to a very tight one versus one, as a couple of the rounds have been already

06:19:20.240 --> 06:19:21.740
leading up to this.

06:19:21.740 --> 06:19:26.000
It's been a game of individual so far.

06:19:26.000 --> 06:19:27.000
Duming the last.

06:19:27.000 --> 06:19:30.300
Next two and a half minutes, we'll find out who it's going to be here inside of round

06:19:30.300 --> 06:19:31.300
ten.

06:19:31.300 --> 06:19:32.300
I'm sure it's going to be somebody.

06:19:32.300 --> 06:19:36.060
But at least for the start, we've got a leak track playing upstairs, solids off inside

06:19:36.060 --> 06:19:38.220
of stock, hatch open.

06:19:38.220 --> 06:19:40.220
So happy to roam up here for a little bit of time,

06:19:40.220 --> 06:19:41.500
surrendering that hatch and saying,

06:19:41.500 --> 06:19:43.820
look, we know you're gonna get it.

06:19:43.820 --> 06:19:45.860
We know that you'll bring some secondary heart breach.

06:19:45.860 --> 06:19:47.620
We're accepting of that.

06:19:47.620 --> 06:19:50.340
We would rather try and hold out a little bit longer

06:19:50.340 --> 06:19:52.340
and just waste a bit more time.

06:19:52.340 --> 06:19:54.100
There is an option, something quite direct here

06:19:54.100 --> 06:19:56.060
with Derby and Softon, vicking,

06:19:56.060 --> 06:19:58.180
already marching down, not only on the Blackbeard,

06:19:58.180 --> 06:19:59.700
but with the Defuser.

06:19:59.700 --> 06:20:01.380
We have to be careful in this position though.

06:20:01.380 --> 06:20:03.740
You and I have seen this go awry a couple of times before.

06:20:03.740 --> 06:20:05.220
All the way back in phase one,

06:20:05.220 --> 06:20:06.700
Blackbeard moving down and defenders

06:20:06.700 --> 06:20:10.840
start piling into dirt and they all line up for the shield. This time though

06:20:10.840 --> 06:20:13.960
Vinikeng might be Bolton Pax and a player in front of him. It's a jume to go down

06:20:13.960 --> 06:20:17.380
first again. He's been involved in so many of these opening engagements and

06:20:17.380 --> 06:20:21.940
unfortunately losing them more often than he's won. We've seen what can happen

06:20:21.940 --> 06:20:25.240
when he survives to the late round. That has not always been a given or a

06:20:25.240 --> 06:20:30.700
guarantee for Falcons. Now an advantage. Mentioned those roamers. Licky fact this is a

06:20:30.700 --> 06:20:34.340
consistent position on a consistent operator for him to play. He's been

06:20:34.340 --> 06:20:41.340
Now, Salatah basically the last vestige of this roam right on the hatch will quickly drop down.

06:20:41.340 --> 06:20:50.340
Right at the minute and a half mark, still got 50% to go as Valgen setting up the second layer of his defense as FaZe make things through.

06:20:50.340 --> 06:20:52.340
I quite like that from Green Day.

06:20:52.340 --> 06:20:56.340
Pocket Goal, Rochannister. He might be able to stop this hatch from getting opened as well.

06:20:56.340 --> 06:21:03.340
He is going to destroy this element. There are two tin openings on KDS, but that's going to mean he's going to rotate around to get into a position to use those.

06:21:03.340 --> 06:21:04.340
Make it all!

06:21:04.340 --> 06:21:05.840
We will commit once a Moto.

06:21:05.840 --> 06:21:06.840
That's fairly standard.

06:21:06.840 --> 06:21:10.340
If he wants to, Leaky Fat does still have a couple of impacts.

06:21:10.340 --> 06:21:14.840
If Kitchen Hatch remains closed in this round, it's going to be devastating, especially with

06:21:14.840 --> 06:21:17.840
the work that's already gone in towards that dirt side.

06:21:17.840 --> 06:21:20.840
We are starting to see a bit of a rotate off now.

06:21:20.840 --> 06:21:24.840
It could be more based around that Moto and that blue side.

06:21:24.840 --> 06:21:25.840
Ooh!

06:21:25.840 --> 06:21:30.840
Leaky Fat, this man is flying so many times, he knows when there might be a gap in the defense.

06:21:30.840 --> 06:21:36.840
quickly checks dirt. And that is one whole dimension of this attack that Falcons no longer have to worry about.

06:21:36.840 --> 06:21:43.840
It is a moto and blue push in all likelihood, and this is a position Falcons most defensive teams on Clubhouse have been in.

06:21:43.840 --> 06:21:49.840
Many, many times before Grimm coming down blue, we have Linky Fax still stopped by that.

06:21:49.840 --> 06:21:58.840
Bid of King finds an angle around the bomb chassis, and Falcons, even with that information, even with that foresight, are no match for FaZe.

06:21:58.840 --> 06:22:01.040
Yeah, they just capitulate under the brush of their face

06:22:01.600 --> 06:22:05.560
Recognizing the wind condition it isn't getting kitchen hatch open instead. It's pushing through moto

06:22:05.560 --> 06:22:09.180
It's pushing down blue and it's fighting them where they are a little bit weaker

06:22:10.480 --> 06:22:13.760
If multi is make now, I feel like they would not play more phase, you know

06:22:13.760 --> 06:22:16.280
Which is for her so far after I feel like for basement

06:22:16.280 --> 06:22:21.240
It just you can see play aggro, but it helps to fall back together and then be strong inside later

06:22:21.240 --> 06:22:25.480
We can do even do start doing flesh plays even for gene. I think now

06:22:25.480 --> 06:22:29.680
Now, we play part of our backs, more traps around, and we play the late round, you know?

06:22:29.680 --> 06:22:33.280
Because they're not gonna like, just do default, really default anymore, you know?

06:22:33.280 --> 06:22:35.080
Because they don't have Monty, they have Snake.

06:22:35.080 --> 06:22:38.880
If you guys, you still wanna play Agour, just fucking mute on the, mute on your guys' feet,

06:22:38.880 --> 06:22:39.880
and that's it.

06:22:39.880 --> 06:22:44.280
You can even bait on Jim, to play like Solis, and then you don't, you don't say Pyre.

06:22:44.280 --> 06:22:47.080
You stay above, and someone else will stay Pyre, you know?

06:22:47.080 --> 06:22:49.080
Because the Hengis are gonna track you, and just fucking...

06:22:49.080 --> 06:22:51.480
Right now, right now we can just do this, just drop this, as I'm with Jim.

06:22:51.480 --> 06:22:52.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:22:52.480 --> 06:22:53.480
I think it's good, I think it's good.

06:22:53.480 --> 06:22:54.900
You don't want to go base with top?

06:22:54.900 --> 06:22:56.180
No, no, no, no.

06:22:56.180 --> 06:22:57.780
Okay, base me for short.

06:22:57.780 --> 06:23:00.020
Yeah, I'm going to play good with short.

06:23:03.020 --> 06:23:05.900
Those in the arena, they were rapidly deciding

06:23:05.900 --> 06:23:07.200
which site they were going to right up

06:23:07.200 --> 06:23:08.840
until the end of that tack timeout.

06:23:08.840 --> 06:23:11.480
It literally swapped like five or six different times

06:23:11.480 --> 06:23:14.000
what Falcons were thinking about.

06:23:14.000 --> 06:23:16.100
Starting to feel a bit of that pressure against FaZe

06:23:16.100 --> 06:23:19.020
as not a single team has won two rounds in a row

06:23:19.020 --> 06:23:20.480
since round four from FaZe,

06:23:20.480 --> 06:23:22.920
it has been completely back and forth.

06:23:22.920 --> 06:23:25.080
Hawkins are good leading though, pretty well.

06:23:25.080 --> 06:23:27.320
I would say Ali, they consistently seem to be able to get it.

06:23:27.320 --> 06:23:29.640
And if they can this time, they'll be on their map,

06:23:29.640 --> 06:23:34.080
on six rounds, and will just need one more after that to close things out.

06:23:34.080 --> 06:23:37.200
I think the word is frantic for how that timeout was going.

06:23:37.200 --> 06:23:39.480
They really always speak quite quickly anyway,

06:23:39.480 --> 06:23:40.880
because they've got a short period of time,

06:23:40.880 --> 06:23:43.360
and it's about relaying as much information as possible.

06:23:43.360 --> 06:23:46.760
There's a bit of an unsure cause for whether we're going to be

06:23:46.760 --> 06:23:48.640
downstairs in basement, upstairs in gym,

06:23:48.640 --> 06:23:50.240
are you going to bait out on the Solace or not?

06:23:50.240 --> 06:23:51.360
Are you going to spam the clash?

06:23:51.360 --> 06:23:53.360
which angle are you going to be going for?

06:23:53.360 --> 06:23:54.360
Sam, the clash.

06:23:54.360 --> 06:23:57.360
The big addition in this line of the Parkinson's.

06:23:57.360 --> 06:24:01.360
You've got the clash and that's the one that I think a lot of people will be drawn to.

06:24:01.360 --> 06:24:02.360
For me, it's the mute.

06:24:02.360 --> 06:24:05.360
Mute cameras that you see, you can do so much with that.

06:24:05.360 --> 06:24:06.360
Those day mob scans.

06:24:06.360 --> 06:24:09.360
That death mark is pretty useless if you've got a mute camera at your feet

06:24:09.360 --> 06:24:11.360
or you've got one that you can run into

06:24:11.360 --> 06:24:15.360
and sort of cleanse yourself from that negative effect.

06:24:15.360 --> 06:24:17.360
So that's going to be a really key piece of utility.

06:24:17.360 --> 06:24:19.360
See Breedane, you've got one in pocket at the minute.

06:24:19.360 --> 06:24:24.880
Matt used to place that down at their moments notice, but it's going to be far less about that extension

06:24:24.880 --> 06:24:26.960
It's going to be a lot a lot more slippy

06:24:26.960 --> 06:24:30.960
They're going to drop off a lot senior and if Julio's anything to go by they're going to drop off together

06:24:31.000 --> 06:24:33.840
It's also very good read because after Falcons banned the Monty

06:24:33.840 --> 06:24:39.560
We see the demos in just one round from phase and I think Julio may be thinking that this might be part of a new look from phase

06:24:39.560 --> 06:24:44.520
But they'll at least in the second half of their attacks bring this a lot more consistently alongside the blackbeard

06:24:44.520 --> 06:24:49.520
Really good foresight from Balkans, of course, also bringing it in round 10 before the attack timeout.

06:24:49.520 --> 06:24:57.520
Just mute in this clash. We'll do work both on and off the side. As again, we have base creeping up through dirt.

06:24:57.520 --> 06:25:03.520
Vidikin going a little deeper into the tunnel than he did before. Nade goes through, Lucky Fat gets ahead of it.

06:25:03.520 --> 06:25:06.520
Chasing the attack outside of dirt.

06:25:06.520 --> 06:25:12.520
Exercising some of his property rights, trying to make sure that they get the hell out of here as fast as possible.

06:25:12.520 --> 06:25:15.120
You targeted, and that's just some support for the clash.

06:25:15.120 --> 06:25:17.200
That's not really going to give FaZe much of anything.

06:25:17.200 --> 06:25:20.000
LickyFax saw the attack, trying to get a quick play on Dirt,

06:25:20.000 --> 06:25:22.000
and he said, get the hell out of here.

06:25:22.000 --> 06:25:24.000
It just batters him back a little bit, doesn't it?

06:25:24.000 --> 06:25:26.160
There's still a couple of Candela's left around,

06:25:26.160 --> 06:25:28.160
but that's something that you've drained away.

06:25:28.160 --> 06:25:30.960
You've drained the Candela, we've also let them know,

06:25:30.960 --> 06:25:33.640
you're not just going to be able to just walk straight down.

06:25:33.640 --> 06:25:36.520
The potential for a bit of C4 action here,

06:25:36.520 --> 06:25:39.160
because we do have a player up above Solotov at the moment.

06:25:39.160 --> 06:25:44.160
He's been using his Zotocanisters to slow down these hatches from getting open.

06:25:44.160 --> 06:25:48.160
Oh, that was very narrow. Only just misses out on souls there.

06:25:48.160 --> 06:25:52.160
And an attempt and an impact. Second one will go through.

06:25:52.160 --> 06:25:56.160
Falkens, they are fighting suit and nail for these hatches right now.

06:25:56.160 --> 06:25:59.160
They do not want to give away an inch.

06:25:59.160 --> 06:26:03.160
And it's not been clean, but it has been harnessed by Falkens.

06:26:03.160 --> 06:26:07.160
They've been trying their best to deny this control. They've done a decent job.

06:26:07.160 --> 06:26:12.160
They've still got a 5v5. Bunkering so far has paid off, in that way at least.

06:26:12.160 --> 06:26:14.160
This is where things become tricky.

06:26:14.160 --> 06:26:19.160
Soil says he's actually all of his candelas and all of the nades on the attack have been used as well.

06:26:19.160 --> 06:26:23.160
So a lot of the key bits of utility, wait all the capitol bolts have been used too.

06:26:23.160 --> 06:26:27.160
Every bit of utility that FaZe could have to make this a bit easier, it's not as much a factor.

06:26:27.160 --> 06:26:29.160
They'll need to win this off-gun fights.

06:26:29.160 --> 06:26:32.160
That's something that FaZe have lived up to before.

06:26:32.160 --> 06:26:37.840
EFAC with one, side one the quick, lurk down blue, catches a timing, but down in the process as Bidikin moves in.

06:26:37.840 --> 06:26:42.560
The defense has lost control of Church, they have lost the narrative but maintain the advantage.

06:26:42.560 --> 06:26:46.160
Bidikin moving up, Handy moving in, has just found a line on one.

06:26:46.160 --> 06:26:50.560
But EFAC, going for the flank, he's been here so many times before!

06:26:53.360 --> 06:26:58.480
This man's done one thing for three and a half years.

06:26:58.480 --> 06:27:01.180
It has been flank, it has been lurk.

06:27:01.180 --> 06:27:03.660
He knows it better than anybody else.

06:27:03.660 --> 06:27:07.820
The prioritization there from LeakyFuck is second to none.

06:27:07.820 --> 06:27:09.920
He sees the player inside a moto,

06:27:09.920 --> 06:27:11.460
knows he could be going for the swing,

06:27:11.460 --> 06:27:12.620
but they've got the comms.

06:27:12.620 --> 06:27:14.960
They know it isn't a three versus two.

06:27:14.960 --> 06:27:16.260
It's a two versus two.

06:27:16.260 --> 06:27:18.060
And what happens when someone starts to plant?

06:27:18.060 --> 06:27:19.100
Two versus one.

06:27:19.100 --> 06:27:20.860
And with the time running that low,

06:27:20.860 --> 06:27:22.980
you have to prioritize the planter.

06:27:22.980 --> 06:27:24.500
Tell your teammates to stay alive,

06:27:24.500 --> 06:27:26.100
kill the person planting the diffuser,

06:27:26.100 --> 06:27:29.520
and just let time do the rest.

06:27:29.520 --> 06:27:31.900
Masterfully played by Leaky Pack.

06:27:35.900 --> 06:27:38.460
You can literally see him change directions.

06:27:38.460 --> 06:27:39.140
He just hears it, doesn't he?

06:27:39.140 --> 06:27:40.540
Mid swing.

06:27:40.540 --> 06:27:44.100
You can literally watch the moment he starts moving into Moto.

06:27:44.100 --> 06:27:45.540
He hears the case open.

06:27:45.540 --> 06:27:48.140
He pauses and just looks the other way.

06:27:51.020 --> 06:27:54.140
He's now moving into what I think,

06:27:54.140 --> 06:27:59.980
His third fourth full years the IGL of at least well couple of these players been a lot of rocks for changes since then

06:28:00.140 --> 06:28:04.220
Two years IGLing the Solotov and use a situation long time with Brede as well

06:28:06.380 --> 06:28:09.860
One of the longest ten-year players now just behind Brede to be fair

06:28:11.060 --> 06:28:13.060
That's done quite a lot of work for this team

06:28:13.620 --> 06:28:17.660
One of the OG fragging IGLs of the modern era of Rainbow Six

06:28:19.020 --> 06:28:21.020
And talking about fraggers

06:28:21.020 --> 06:28:26.320
But a bit of a rough game for Solotov hasn't it 3 and 12 right now and handy 16 and 7

06:28:26.660 --> 06:28:32.500
He calls his bluff within 10 seconds of the round starting absolutely binds him through the window there again

06:28:32.540 --> 06:28:36.580
Not the most common one, but pull it out in a format. Why not?

06:28:37.060 --> 06:28:38.420
You just play for me

06:28:38.420 --> 06:28:41.820
It's a good contribution on the side of Balkans grandstick of all those skills

06:28:41.820 --> 06:28:46.860
It will need to be impactless, but they are rounds that could have been one at normal at the left still

06:28:46.860 --> 06:28:48.660
Well, this pips all round.

06:28:48.660 --> 06:28:50.740
We are gonna see Falcons starting a man down.

06:28:50.740 --> 06:28:53.060
It wasn't too much of a problem for them at the start of the game,

06:28:53.060 --> 06:28:54.060
but things have changed.

06:28:54.060 --> 06:28:58.420
The landscape has shifted and FaZe have clicked in to another gear now.

06:28:58.420 --> 06:28:59.980
Now starting to operate,

06:28:59.980 --> 06:29:03.780
a lot more as we would have expected them to coming into this matchup.

06:29:05.140 --> 06:29:06.540
Oh, this is beautiful.

06:29:07.820 --> 06:29:13.420
Falcons are so consistently making this ace's life an living nightmare.

06:29:13.420 --> 06:29:17.940
This might be the first bridge we see open in the airport's proper way

06:29:17.940 --> 06:29:19.940
where you can actually transition through it.

06:29:22.900 --> 06:29:24.900
Mirror being banned, probably big reason for that.

06:29:24.900 --> 06:29:27.540
We give you a pat on the back, call that Brown Senate.

06:29:28.820 --> 06:29:31.900
Actually able to open up the plow, actually able to open up the jacuzzi wall,

06:29:31.900 --> 06:29:34.380
but now the class has changed hands, instead of licky-packed, bringing it.

06:29:34.820 --> 06:29:37.820
June, we're gonna get directly in the attack's face

06:29:38.820 --> 06:29:41.620
as Hive's bouncing all around gym bedroom right now.

06:29:41.620 --> 06:29:46.720
Faze taking their time again. This has been a really slow attack

06:29:47.980 --> 06:29:53.180
Opening kills have happened early, but they've used every second they have to set up this execute June

06:29:53.620 --> 06:29:59.340
Taking a little bit of a swing outside on jacuzzi wall will find souls. He's also not having a great game himself

06:30:00.140 --> 06:30:03.700
Three day spotting the blackbeard up on the side of Lodgy

06:30:04.260 --> 06:30:07.620
Handy down below these kills happening all over the place

06:30:07.620 --> 06:30:11.020
It is quite spread out from phase at the moment trying to find where falcons are weakest

06:30:11.620 --> 06:30:15.620
He's trying to be the link with the players that are dropping this lodging hatch at the moment.

06:30:15.620 --> 06:30:18.620
He's out there on the windows and needs to try and find an angle.

06:30:18.620 --> 06:30:21.620
But Falcons are not being given a reason to move just yet.

06:30:21.620 --> 06:30:25.620
We need a bit more info from Handi and we need KDS to come in with that shield.

06:30:25.620 --> 06:30:29.620
KDS to make his way in. Handy might send us to OT all on his own.

06:30:29.620 --> 06:30:32.620
Vinnikin also getting active.

06:30:32.620 --> 06:30:37.620
Cyber will close things out over time between Falcons and FaZe.

06:30:37.620 --> 06:30:39.620
Wouldn't have it any other way.

06:30:39.620 --> 06:30:49.020
Who'd have thought we'd be here, a 6-6, nothing separating these two teams, rounds going back and forth, all the way since round four.

06:30:51.020 --> 06:30:57.220
Soon as Faze got warmed up into the matchup, which, let's be honest, it took them two rounds, it didn't take them any time at all.

06:30:57.220 --> 06:31:00.220
This has been a very competitive matchup.

06:31:01.220 --> 06:31:04.820
As we were sort of hoping it was going to be, it's Faze Falcons, we're going to say.

06:31:04.820 --> 06:31:09.920
These two have played each other plenty of times enough now on big stages all around the world

06:31:11.540 --> 06:31:13.940
They're delivering here again inside a Salt Lake

06:31:15.500 --> 06:31:17.500
And he delivering it in round 12

06:31:18.140 --> 06:31:20.660
18 and 7 so far we're almost I mean well

06:31:20.660 --> 06:31:25.580
We're not almost at Andy's scoreline because that was 21 and 1 it'd be physically impossible to recreate that at this point in the game

06:31:25.860 --> 06:31:31.320
But handy almost reaching that 21 kill point a very quiet game for them. He's only okay

06:31:31.320 --> 06:31:35.760
I was gonna say he's only had a 3k, he's only had a 3k, 3 rounds so he's had, he's had quite a few good moments.

06:31:35.760 --> 06:31:40.120
But even then, that's only 50% of his kills. Everything else has been single ones or doubles here or there.

06:31:40.120 --> 06:31:43.080
It's not been a massive takeover game from Handi.

06:31:43.080 --> 06:31:48.160
Really a lot of that came in the first half. This has been just a very steady attacking side from FaZe.

06:31:49.600 --> 06:31:54.060
He has been a big player in the opening pick. He's had the opening kill of the last three rounds, which is a really

06:31:54.560 --> 06:31:56.320
powered FaZe on.

06:31:56.320 --> 06:32:02.320
Obviously, it hasn't been an indicator as to who wins around every single time both those teams capable of fighting back from behind.

06:32:02.320 --> 06:32:07.320
But when Handi is consistently finding that advantage, he's just taking a little bit of the pressure off.

06:32:07.320 --> 06:32:16.320
Everyone on the side of Falkens, I imagine, is going to be tucked up for the first few seconds, not wanting to give themselves away so early this time as we've seen happen in previous rounds.

06:32:18.320 --> 06:32:23.320
Especially you to switch into that scope. We're just going to try to teleport back to the site as soon as possible.

06:32:23.320 --> 06:32:27.320
Turnover stay you're welcome. Vittacame, fire some shots into the jacuzzi wall.

06:32:27.320 --> 06:32:32.320
Use some licky fact. Duo roam right now, construction and cash respectively.

06:32:34.320 --> 06:32:38.320
Gonna run in that solid snake. At some point the Soloton scanner could find him out.

06:32:39.320 --> 06:32:42.320
They're gonna need to debate this exact bait which Julio was talking about.

06:32:42.320 --> 06:32:44.320
Play the mute, generate your team.

06:32:44.320 --> 06:32:48.320
Let's, you know, give someone away, say that someone's out there, that they're gonna get caught on the Soloton scanner.

06:32:48.320 --> 06:32:52.320
But somebody needs to be hidden. Somebody needs to have a mute, generate their feet, and be that unpredictable factor.

06:32:52.320 --> 06:32:56.240
predictable factor. Force the drone work, force the clear. There's nothing here now.

06:32:56.240 --> 06:32:59.440
There's no shield that they're going to be able to brute force with. It's going to be

06:32:59.440 --> 06:33:03.240
on drone work alone, and if a new jump is in the way, it's going to be a problem.

06:33:03.240 --> 06:33:06.400
That is if Ferries directly try and deal with it.

06:33:06.400 --> 06:33:12.720
This is a bit of an if as users is just immediately going back to sight. I think LickyFack, yep.

06:33:12.720 --> 06:33:18.100
LickyFack in June, both on the roam. Trying to escape some of these bits of intel gathering

06:33:18.100 --> 06:33:22.300
from the attacking team, but one player sitting outside flat wall. Somebody's got to move

06:33:22.300 --> 06:33:26.860
at some point. This is a play all time. It's Jumon Katwalk saying look at me, look at me.

06:33:26.860 --> 06:33:30.780
Link, he's just overplayed his hand there and he was caught in the mute jammer. No one really

06:33:30.780 --> 06:33:34.220
knew that he was there and he was hoping to get a nice line off the back of that keeper.

06:33:34.220 --> 06:33:40.220
The game's now up, girls. Users in Solotov are joining them on their own. There are three players

06:33:40.220 --> 06:33:45.740
in CCTD cash right now. The site is basically empty. In fact, I think Brede is in dirt.

06:33:46.780 --> 06:33:51.260
If they realize this is happening, Vulcans might be in a bit of a tricky situation,

06:33:51.260 --> 06:33:53.260
but they begin falling back.

06:33:53.260 --> 06:33:55.500
I believe the Scopus has teleported back,

06:33:55.500 --> 06:33:56.500
Jume are treating down.

06:33:56.500 --> 06:33:58.660
Okay, they'll bolster the site in the final minute,

06:33:58.660 --> 06:34:01.660
but that looked a bit shaky for a moment for Falcons.

06:34:01.660 --> 06:34:03.020
Baving unsure, Clare was, now.

06:34:03.020 --> 06:34:05.300
I think the read there probably is that Faze

06:34:05.300 --> 06:34:06.420
know exactly what they're trying to do.

06:34:06.420 --> 06:34:07.700
They know the music in play.

06:34:07.700 --> 06:34:09.060
That was demonstrated by Cybers.

06:34:09.060 --> 06:34:11.700
Reluctance to go in and start to try and make something happen.

06:34:11.700 --> 06:34:12.820
We didn't see him on the scanner team,

06:34:12.820 --> 06:34:16.300
which he basically would have been lying to him at that point.

06:34:16.300 --> 06:34:18.100
Benos now, drop back to the site

06:34:18.100 --> 06:34:20.660
and force this essential low-time execute

06:34:20.660 --> 06:34:22.140
There's still a lot of work to do there.

06:34:22.140 --> 06:34:24.500
Kitchen hatch has made it open the LX.

06:34:24.500 --> 06:34:26.500
If Kitchen hatch isn't open at 30 for a second,

06:34:26.500 --> 06:34:29.380
Space will again need to win this one off gunfights alone.

06:34:29.380 --> 06:34:32.260
They very nearly did it on the last baseman attack.

06:34:32.260 --> 06:34:34.540
Of course, Linky Fax found the perfect angle over in church

06:34:34.540 --> 06:34:36.380
and just shut that down entirely.

06:34:36.380 --> 06:34:39.900
5-4 for FaZe, but his uses goes for the retake.

06:34:39.900 --> 06:34:42.100
He's got some good amount of kills himself,

06:34:42.100 --> 06:34:46.620
but FaZe is able to shut that down within seconds.

06:34:46.620 --> 06:34:47.740
They make it look easy.

06:34:47.740 --> 06:34:51.340
kitchen hatch not open, breeches not even workable.

06:34:51.340 --> 06:34:54.580
They only drop one body by the end of round 13.

06:34:54.580 --> 06:34:57.180
Faze are really happy to work very effectively

06:34:57.180 --> 06:34:59.020
in a short period of time.

06:34:59.020 --> 06:35:00.780
It was something that Julio talked about

06:35:00.780 --> 06:35:02.460
in the timeout for Falcons.

06:35:02.460 --> 06:35:03.980
He said, they're happy in the execute.

06:35:03.980 --> 06:35:04.860
That's where they are.

06:35:04.860 --> 06:35:08.780
It's where some of their strongest play comes out.

06:35:08.780 --> 06:35:09.900
And that was demonstrated,

06:35:09.900 --> 06:35:12.820
especially when you've invested so much into a Rome game,

06:35:12.820 --> 06:35:14.460
so much that just doesn't get cleared

06:35:14.460 --> 06:35:15.860
because Faze, no, they're like,

06:35:15.860 --> 06:35:19.460
We don't really want to challenge this, unfortunately it was the first kill.

06:35:19.460 --> 06:35:25.140
Leakey fact, challenging KDS. That broke the deadlock of defense saying,

06:35:25.140 --> 06:35:29.140
look, we're the defenders, we have the clock working down in our favor, you have to push us.

06:35:29.140 --> 06:35:32.980
And FaZe were just holding for that opportunity, they were holding for that opening.

06:35:32.980 --> 06:35:34.500
And Leakey fact gave it to him.

06:35:37.300 --> 06:35:41.540
Literally played the rest of the round now, just a whole two minutes it felt like after that opening

06:35:41.540 --> 06:35:50.540
pick. Actually not. Really? That's fun. That's like crazy. Half the round gone after that now that I think about it. Such a slow attack from FaZe all throughout their side.

06:35:50.540 --> 06:36:01.540
Now moving to the defense, there's one chance at it. Their main opportunity to close things out. This is Fulkin's pick we have right now. And Shalaya, map that FaZe are 11 and 2 on going into the playoffs.

06:36:01.540 --> 06:36:10.540
It's coming up right after this, no matter what. Win or lose. If FaZe can just win this one right here, they might be able to seal the series 2-0.

06:36:11.540 --> 06:36:16.380
Falcons, they are going to change their line of approach.

06:36:16.380 --> 06:36:20.620
Didn't play too many shields in the first six rounds.

06:36:20.620 --> 06:36:22.740
There was one round where we saw them play two.

06:36:22.740 --> 06:36:23.940
Stolls off.

06:36:23.940 --> 06:36:25.380
It's going to be on the blitz this time.

06:36:25.380 --> 06:36:26.780
Jume on the day, Moss.

06:36:26.780 --> 06:36:28.940
They're going to be going at four that clear.

06:36:28.940 --> 06:36:31.140
They know they need to get into the map very quickly

06:36:31.140 --> 06:36:33.980
and start to flood these players back towards site

06:36:33.980 --> 06:36:36.180
or even better still, send them to the cameras

06:36:36.180 --> 06:36:37.740
and take them out of things.

06:36:37.740 --> 06:36:40.140
The danger man at the moment has been handy.

06:36:40.140 --> 06:36:46.140
20 and 7 at the moment, and he's gonna be a big target for this first bout of roam clearing.

06:36:48.140 --> 06:36:50.140
They wanna hunt him down the best they can.

06:36:50.140 --> 06:36:53.140
Of course, the main target always will be Cyber.

06:36:54.140 --> 06:36:55.140
It's got Bidikinko support.

06:36:55.140 --> 06:36:58.140
Ironic, it's only the Valkyrie we see Cyber playing.

06:36:58.140 --> 06:36:59.140
Bidikinko said take that up.

06:36:59.140 --> 06:37:01.140
C4 coming downstairs.

06:37:01.140 --> 06:37:02.140
Shield goes out.

06:37:02.140 --> 06:37:04.140
Solotop down in the process.

06:37:04.140 --> 06:37:06.140
Jume also taking a lot of damage.

06:37:06.140 --> 06:37:09.140
If you wanted to clear out this roam, Skalkins,

06:37:09.140 --> 06:37:11.820
You'll need to try a bit harder than that.

06:37:11.820 --> 06:37:15.660
Three players, three players going to pick Solotov back up.

06:37:15.660 --> 06:37:18.540
Now Force Bidding King back downstairs.

06:37:18.540 --> 06:37:21.860
I believe, if I'm correct, will be everybody?

06:37:21.860 --> 06:37:24.140
No, almost everybody back to the site.

06:37:25.060 --> 06:37:27.060
So leave me, of course, Cyber's holding out.

06:37:27.060 --> 06:37:29.900
Moto Hatch open, but ready to drop at a moment's notice.

06:37:31.640 --> 06:37:33.580
He's got the facility to play it for a little bit of time.

06:37:33.580 --> 06:37:35.580
I mean, he's even got the default camera open.

06:37:35.580 --> 06:37:37.180
Just wants to take another drone down.

06:37:37.180 --> 06:37:40.760
just continue to wiggle this utility away for Falcons.

06:37:40.760 --> 06:37:42.320
A minute and a half left on the clock.

06:37:42.320 --> 06:37:44.800
And even 4 vs 4 on the execute,

06:37:44.800 --> 06:37:46.880
you haven't got a full HP at Blitz.

06:37:46.880 --> 06:37:49.400
And we've already seen how vulnerable a shield player can

06:37:49.400 --> 06:37:51.400
be when they are at little to no health.

06:37:53.880 --> 06:37:55.680
Especially with these impact grenades on the board,

06:37:55.680 --> 06:37:57.200
especially in all likelihood, this is going

06:37:57.200 --> 06:37:58.600
to be another slow on a team's alley.

06:37:58.600 --> 06:38:01.280
This kitchen hatch play has been excellent for both teams.

06:38:01.280 --> 06:38:03.640
Just like often we see the impacts get messed up.

06:38:03.640 --> 06:38:05.760
Seen with Ana really bait them out well.

06:38:05.760 --> 06:38:08.880
But so far this game, kitchen hats have been very difficult for the attacks to get.

06:38:08.880 --> 06:38:12.200
We've always seen these moto and blue tanks from both teams,

06:38:12.200 --> 06:38:15.920
and when you see why that's happening, or see how it's happening,

06:38:15.920 --> 06:38:18.760
you get why these attacks are happening with 20 or 10 seconds left.

06:38:19.400 --> 06:38:20.920
Top is still in pretty good position right now.

06:38:20.920 --> 06:38:23.520
They've still got users, and they've still got three sets of bees.

06:38:23.520 --> 06:38:26.480
So they're going to be able to flood in and find out where the players are.

06:38:26.480 --> 06:38:30.560
They're going to be hiding behind Generator, behind Kitchen, and behind inside a church.

06:38:30.560 --> 06:38:34.120
The problem is they haven't got the diffuser, and there's a very short amount of time left now.

06:38:34.120 --> 06:38:39.220
There's so much information being exchanged here from Cyber in that scan and the drone's coming through.

06:38:39.220 --> 06:38:45.420
People upstairs, where this drop is likely going to be coming from, it's going to be an explosive 25 seconds.

06:38:45.420 --> 06:38:48.420
Now Salta's got to make his way in. Falkins as well, overall.

06:38:48.420 --> 06:38:51.720
You explode into the site and not fall.

06:38:51.720 --> 06:38:59.420
Parade a phase, not fall. Parade to this prowess, not fall. Parade to the bot man squad that just nobody can see him to be.

06:38:59.420 --> 06:39:04.420
Vulcan's pick after 14 rounds goes the way of the two-time.

06:39:07.420 --> 06:39:09.420
Faze closed the book on Clubhouse.

06:39:09.420 --> 06:39:14.420
A Vulcan's map picked for one that they are all too familiar on.

06:39:14.420 --> 06:39:16.420
They started off a little bit slow.

06:39:16.420 --> 06:39:18.420
Little then people started thinking,

06:39:18.420 --> 06:39:20.420
this isn't the phase that we knew from the group stage.

06:39:20.420 --> 06:39:22.420
They've ran through every NA team.

06:39:23.420 --> 06:39:25.420
They pulled it out in the end.

06:39:25.420 --> 06:39:28.420
We've got more seats to come here at the Salt Lake City Major.

06:39:28.420 --> 06:39:30.420
We are going to be back with map 2, line up for this!

06:45:28.420 --> 06:45:39.420
Well, they're the two-time world champs for a reason.

06:45:39.420 --> 06:45:44.420
In a match like that, the back-and-forths, the cat-and-mouse, the adaptability from both

06:45:44.420 --> 06:45:49.940
teams, Bayes-Clan come out on top in his what-they-do-best box.

06:45:49.940 --> 06:45:54.900
Both teams played an incredible map, but it's no surprise that Bayes are the ones with the

06:45:54.900 --> 06:45:55.900
victory.

06:45:55.900 --> 06:46:01.180
a bittersweet moment for Falcons because they played so good both teams played amazing an adaptive master class

06:46:01.180 --> 06:46:04.420
I was saying it to you guys in the green room that when it was 5-5

06:46:04.420 --> 06:46:08.580
We saw Julio call that timeout he perfectly read exactly what Faye is doing

06:46:08.580 --> 06:46:15.340
They've transitioned to bringing the shields to hard pushing for the sites to be able to adapt to Falcons is roaming their utility

06:46:15.340 --> 06:46:17.860
And immediately say let's play back with play of the site

06:46:17.860 --> 06:46:22.300
Let's focus on stalling them out and that's when we go for the flanks and then it goes all the way to overtime

06:46:22.300 --> 06:46:27.300
What a situation both teams deserved it at the end of the day phase is the best team in the world.

06:46:27.300 --> 06:46:35.300
That was a clean shot and even for licking back, I mean they opened up this matchup with licking back getting too big in 4-0 just to put them up too ahead and even in this round for Jume.

06:46:35.300 --> 06:46:45.300
And I'm glad I highlighted these two players in particular because they're the one that are taking that response with their really being the most flexible and versatile but it really has been showing throughout the entire half.

06:46:45.300 --> 06:46:48.300
This was the dynamic that you highlighted coming in.

06:46:48.300 --> 06:46:49.300
Zoom on this roster.

06:46:49.300 --> 06:46:51.300
That'll be playing well and making the team strong,

06:46:51.300 --> 06:46:54.300
but enabling LeakyFat to perform incredibly well.

06:46:54.300 --> 06:46:55.300
That's exactly what we saw.

06:46:55.300 --> 06:46:57.300
I think there's something to also take from this,

06:46:57.300 --> 06:47:00.300
especially when LeakyFat can play on an operator-like solid sync

06:47:00.300 --> 06:47:02.300
where he can gain that info.

06:47:02.300 --> 06:47:04.300
He doesn't need to rely on the teammates to be able to get that feedback.

06:47:04.300 --> 06:47:05.300
So when he has that information,

06:47:05.300 --> 06:47:07.300
not only can he take control of the round

06:47:07.300 --> 06:47:09.300
and he's obviously mechanically gifted and can shoot back,

06:47:09.300 --> 06:47:13.300
but he can also instantly identify where the openings are,

06:47:13.300 --> 06:47:19.240
How we can find the gap how we can exploit and both phase and Falcons were doing such a phenomenal job at

06:47:19.660 --> 06:47:24.740
Understanding where they can go for an aggressive play where they can fall back to and then playing that trade game

06:47:24.740 --> 06:47:27.860
And it really was a game of numbers and just playing that back and forth

06:47:27.860 --> 06:47:29.460
Yeah, that round like you fact

06:47:29.460 --> 06:47:34.820
Flanked on the base and instead of going for the Moto guy prones goes for the secured on the round win

06:47:34.820 --> 06:47:40.180
I mean we're selling phase a little short here talking about how good Falcons was phase was amazing in their own right on

06:47:40.180 --> 06:47:42.860
on adapting, but I mean, it's another day in the office

06:47:42.860 --> 06:47:43.060
for them.

06:47:43.060 --> 06:47:43.940
They're expected it.

06:47:43.940 --> 06:47:46.940
And now, they're going to a map like Shallay,

06:47:46.940 --> 06:47:47.620
their best map.

06:47:47.620 --> 06:47:47.900
Right.

06:47:47.900 --> 06:47:50.260
And they also had the clutch potential on that last map

06:47:50.260 --> 06:47:52.340
that will no doubt carry over into Shallay.

06:47:52.340 --> 06:47:55.220
We saw the clutch from Vidiking as well on that last map.

06:47:55.220 --> 06:47:56.900
I mean, so many things that were going there.

06:47:56.900 --> 06:48:00.020
This is why I'm saying why, like, Clubhouse is fundamentally,

06:48:00.020 --> 06:48:02.140
that's where it's focused on, is the sheer fundamentals

06:48:02.140 --> 06:48:03.540
and capitalizing on some mistakes.

06:48:03.540 --> 06:48:05.900
And the mistakes already was allowing that information

06:48:05.900 --> 06:48:08.820
coming from Jim, where Cyber probably doesn't sprint up main

06:48:08.820 --> 06:48:09.500
and get that pick.

06:48:09.500 --> 06:48:11.820
Now granted, Falcons did have a good fight back.

06:48:11.820 --> 06:48:14.460
They responded very well, but it wasn't enough.

06:48:14.460 --> 06:48:16.540
They were able to take sight from the side from Faze.

06:48:16.540 --> 06:48:19.580
And then for Vittacombe, a master class, absolutely dog

06:48:19.580 --> 06:48:23.260
walking users around the top floor and inevitably giving them.

06:48:23.260 --> 06:48:24.940
And again, when it's a game of numbers,

06:48:24.940 --> 06:48:26.220
it's a game of these rounds.

06:48:26.220 --> 06:48:28.620
That round had that information maybe not been there.

06:48:28.620 --> 06:48:29.700
They get rid of it.

06:48:29.700 --> 06:48:32.100
This maybe turned into a 7-7, and we aren't here yet.

06:48:32.100 --> 06:48:34.420
And we could be discussing maybe Falcons then wins it

06:48:34.420 --> 06:48:35.060
in an overtime.

06:48:35.060 --> 06:48:36.860
But fact of the matter is Faze, whenever

06:48:36.860 --> 06:48:38.900
it comes down to these close rounds,

06:48:38.900 --> 06:48:40.300
They are ice cold.

06:48:40.300 --> 06:48:41.420
I mean, there's so many what ifs.

06:48:41.420 --> 06:48:43.660
But one guarantee is handy showing up

06:48:43.660 --> 06:48:44.460
when you need them the most.

06:48:44.460 --> 06:48:46.060
I mean, 20 kills.

06:48:46.060 --> 06:48:49.180
We've been having so many amazing individual plays.

06:48:49.180 --> 06:48:52.740
First ambi, we started licky-fack off hot on this map one,

06:48:52.740 --> 06:48:54.340
now handy with 20 kills.

06:48:54.340 --> 06:48:57.220
Listen, I can guarantee you that same portrait,

06:48:57.220 --> 06:48:59.460
that same facial expression on KDSSase

06:48:59.460 --> 06:49:01.260
was probably the exact same outcome

06:49:01.260 --> 06:49:02.820
once they finished that series.

06:49:02.820 --> 06:49:05.020
Well, here now, Valve just have to figure something out

06:49:05.020 --> 06:49:07.820
because they're going into FaZe's best map.

06:49:07.820 --> 06:49:10.660
How can they overcome this and send us to the third?

06:49:10.660 --> 06:49:11.740
Playing the exact same.

06:49:11.740 --> 06:49:12.740
That's it.

06:49:12.740 --> 06:49:14.420
Playing literally the exact same,

06:49:14.420 --> 06:49:16.580
and not allowing as little mistakes

06:49:16.580 --> 06:49:18.460
as that they were making here on Clubhouse.

06:49:18.460 --> 06:49:20.060
At the end of the day, it's phased.

06:49:20.060 --> 06:49:23.060
So either way, Falcons is putting their best foot forward.

06:49:23.060 --> 06:49:23.820
And I agree.

06:49:23.820 --> 06:49:25.260
They're adapting so well.

06:49:25.260 --> 06:49:27.900
The timeouts are coming in perfectly from Julio.

06:49:27.900 --> 06:49:32.620
Maybe if we can see Licky back being able to identify that

06:49:32.620 --> 06:49:35.420
earlier on instead of needing a timeout or faster,

06:49:35.420 --> 06:49:37.900
That's where we can see Falcons get the edge over Faze.

06:49:37.900 --> 06:49:39.100
Right, that's a big difference, Baker.

06:49:39.100 --> 06:49:40.940
You highlighted the importance of that timeout,

06:49:40.940 --> 06:49:43.940
how right at that moment, if Falcons were going to win the map,

06:49:43.940 --> 06:49:46.740
that could have been the breaking point for them,

06:49:46.740 --> 06:49:49.020
but Faze made the comeback they sent it to overtime.

06:49:49.020 --> 06:49:53.820
Lax, if they can recognize the adjustments they need to make sooner,

06:49:53.820 --> 06:49:55.260
you've got to think that will set themselves back.

06:49:55.260 --> 06:49:57.140
Absolutely, but that's going to be so important,

06:49:57.140 --> 06:49:59.180
is that they can identify those moments

06:49:59.180 --> 06:50:01.340
or identify those gaps very early on and realize,

06:50:01.340 --> 06:50:03.380
okay, Faze did play an aggressive game before,

06:50:03.380 --> 06:50:04.380
now they're playing a little slower.

06:50:04.380 --> 06:50:06.420
That's when we should maybe get a little more aggressive.

06:50:06.420 --> 06:50:08.140
Or when they notice they're playing a little aggressive,

06:50:08.140 --> 06:50:10.180
maybe that's when we should fall back sooner

06:50:10.180 --> 06:50:11.540
and then play into our layers.

06:50:11.540 --> 06:50:13.700
But again, that really is going to be on the side of Falcons.

06:50:13.700 --> 06:50:15.740
And again, for Faze, you're going on to, by far,

06:50:15.740 --> 06:50:16.820
one of your best maps.

06:50:16.820 --> 06:50:18.060
You're 15 and 4 on it.

06:50:18.060 --> 06:50:19.300
The comfort already come into this.

06:50:19.300 --> 06:50:21.740
I mean, you can, if we could just look at all the playercams,

06:50:21.740 --> 06:50:23.900
everyone is just calm, collect.

06:50:23.900 --> 06:50:26.180
I mean, this is day in, day out, Faze.

06:50:26.180 --> 06:50:27.060
Night in day.

06:50:27.060 --> 06:50:29.140
They're going to be expected to win this map.

06:50:29.140 --> 06:50:30.860
But it's not to say that Falcons certainly

06:50:30.860 --> 06:50:32.980
can't fight for it and push it to a map three.

06:50:32.980 --> 06:50:35.720
I mean, the main reason why FaZe is so dominant when it comes to

06:50:35.720 --> 06:50:37.120
Chalet is they're attacking half.

06:50:37.120 --> 06:50:40.900
They're very scary on it without really needing to take many of the

06:50:40.900 --> 06:50:42.840
well, they do a lot of it out exactly.

06:50:42.840 --> 06:50:44.100
They set up on the outsides.

06:50:44.100 --> 06:50:47.500
They set a lot of positions where if you're roaming, you run back to get caught.

06:50:47.500 --> 06:50:48.900
That's where you lose that opening pick.

06:50:49.060 --> 06:50:52.860
So that's what Falcons needs to go into it, keeping their head on a swivel,

06:50:52.860 --> 06:50:55.060
making sure they're not losing those opening picks outside the water.

06:50:55.060 --> 06:50:58.380
I think even more, especially on a map like this, this will only amplify how

06:50:58.380 --> 06:51:02.580
cyber can move and facilitate around and how he can just pick and prod around the

06:51:02.580 --> 06:51:06.580
map. They have to be vigilant of that. They have to be hyper fixated on. We haven't seen

06:51:06.580 --> 06:51:09.580
cyber on the board yet. Clearly he's looking for somewhere to attack.

06:51:09.580 --> 06:51:12.580
He was playing a lot slower because he was getting caught off guard.

06:51:12.580 --> 06:51:15.580
And it's Clubhouse. Exactly. They're not going to be able to do too much.

06:51:15.580 --> 06:51:19.580
But on a map like Xiaolay, again, we've seen cyber in many positions. And against SR,

06:51:19.580 --> 06:51:25.580
he had five opening kills himself. That being said, it's very possible for him to take control of the map.

06:51:25.580 --> 06:51:30.580
Well, the situation for Falcon here, obviously, they've had an incredible run through SLC so far.

06:51:30.580 --> 06:51:37.220
looking at this, if they lose this second map, do you consider SLC a failure for them or can they be okay with this?

06:51:37.220 --> 06:51:39.060
Because it's faked. I'm gonna be completely honest.

06:51:39.060 --> 06:51:44.100
I do see it as a failure because the whole point of making a Ross change was to finally win something.

06:51:44.100 --> 06:51:47.220
You don't want to keep getting second place. You don't want to keep getting third, fourth.

06:51:47.220 --> 06:51:51.700
You want to eventually win. And now would be the cherry on top is if they bring Jume into this roster,

06:51:51.700 --> 06:51:53.220
they're able to get over this hurdle.

06:51:53.220 --> 06:51:56.980
They're able to finally get over that hurdle of winning something.

06:51:56.980 --> 06:52:01.620
And if you go out sooner than later here, I would honestly say it's a failure, unfortunately.

06:52:01.620 --> 06:52:05.860
Well, Falcons need a win on FaZe's best map.

06:52:05.860 --> 06:52:11.860
It is Chalet, map number two over to Lynx and XR Troika to see if Falcons have what it takes.

06:52:13.060 --> 06:52:17.860
Falcons don't just need a win. Falcons need hope. They need a chance.

06:52:17.860 --> 06:52:23.540
They need to walk in because with a map like this coming up for FaZe,

06:52:23.540 --> 06:52:28.900
in on basically unbeatable record in the past six months. Players that are still playing

06:52:28.900 --> 06:52:35.340
some of the best siege three years into this roster being formed. Balkans need a whole lot

06:52:35.340 --> 06:52:39.300
and a lot of them can't even control to go their way if they're going to come out on

06:52:39.300 --> 06:52:40.300
Shatland.

06:52:40.300 --> 06:52:45.460
I quite enjoy what you say basically unbeaten. Do you want to hazard the guests to the two

06:52:45.460 --> 06:52:49.700
teams that have beat phase on this map? Did I bury the lead a little bit on that one?

06:52:49.700 --> 06:52:52.100
I think you may have buried the lead.

06:52:52.100 --> 06:52:56.540
They lost to Fluxo W7M, but they also have lost to Falcons.

06:52:56.540 --> 06:52:59.140
Now, it was a long time ago, back at the November Major.

06:52:59.140 --> 06:53:01.500
So, there is, I mean, it's the edge of the data

06:53:01.500 --> 06:53:05.060
that we've sort of gone to, and it's the deepest part of the tunnel

06:53:05.060 --> 06:53:07.020
that we dug to see what we want to talk about

06:53:07.020 --> 06:53:07.860
between these two teams.

06:53:07.860 --> 06:53:10.900
So, how much it means, time will only tell,

06:53:10.900 --> 06:53:12.940
but there is one thing for certain,

06:53:12.940 --> 06:53:14.740
and that is the 10-2 record on a map.

06:53:14.740 --> 06:53:18.100
In this day and age is no joke whatsoever.

06:53:18.100 --> 06:53:24.500
phase absolutely love shall I am for Falcons. They knew that going into this. They've left

06:53:24.500 --> 06:53:26.940
this map up my pope. This is the best of three. They could have got rid of this map

06:53:26.940 --> 06:53:32.180
if they wanted to, but they're obviously feeling confident enough to bring it out at this point.

06:53:32.180 --> 06:53:36.220
And you can feel you can understand a little bit why that is because if we just had, you

06:53:36.220 --> 06:53:41.340
know, the wild card game that started off, you go, Oh, why are we going to shall I? Yeah.

06:53:41.340 --> 06:53:45.220
But right at the end of the switch, we have a beautiful seven to performance against various

06:53:45.220 --> 06:53:49.220
in which Falcons did lock in, did get it figured out,

06:53:49.220 --> 06:53:52.220
and they completely demolished one of the best teams in Europe.

06:53:54.220 --> 06:53:56.220
So look at the bands that are starting to get into round number one,

06:53:56.220 --> 06:53:59.220
then Falcons are going to be starting off on an attack inside.

06:53:59.220 --> 06:54:02.220
They've opened up Asami and then Mira pretty far for the course.

06:54:02.220 --> 06:54:06.220
To the other side that I'm most interested in right now, the Monty and the Snake.

06:54:06.220 --> 06:54:13.220
It was a combination of Monty, Snake, Lyon and Deimos played in the game versus VP,

06:54:13.220 --> 06:54:15.720
and it was a very, very successful.

06:54:15.720 --> 06:54:19.020
Brede played Monty in four out of the six rounds,

06:54:19.020 --> 06:54:21.520
and it was a massive part of this pushing power.

06:54:21.520 --> 06:54:24.320
Now, we've still got the trifecta, we've still got Lyon,

06:54:24.320 --> 06:54:26.420
Dokkape, and Deimos,

06:54:26.420 --> 06:54:29.020
but you're just missing out on all those elements.

06:54:29.020 --> 06:54:30.520
You're missing out on another.

06:54:30.520 --> 06:54:32.620
Asolotov goes first down again.

06:54:32.620 --> 06:54:34.920
Handy continuing that opening pick.

06:54:34.920 --> 06:54:38.720
Prowess we saw on Clubhouse, right over onto Charlotte.

06:54:38.720 --> 06:54:40.820
He has not skipped a beat.

06:54:40.820 --> 06:54:43.360
And he's hit and made 21 with that kill.

06:54:44.580 --> 06:54:49.660
Just continuing unimpeachable performance per face throughout the series so far.

06:54:49.660 --> 06:54:53.260
But LickyFack has taken the reins, taken the dokeby.

06:54:54.260 --> 06:54:55.760
He's trying to hunt down Handy.

06:54:56.260 --> 06:54:59.260
Saw him on these blue stairs, he's still there right now.

06:54:59.500 --> 06:55:04.460
Jume, taking the exact position he typically plays on Jalei and Cyber.

06:55:04.760 --> 06:55:08.860
How is he ready for it? Jume is standing on the desk trying to avoid the C4.

06:55:08.860 --> 06:55:12.960
Hanging KDS can only do so much to avoid Licky Fack and Usus.

06:55:12.960 --> 06:55:15.760
Creeping up through the middle of the map, finding two kills.

06:55:15.760 --> 06:55:21.760
KDS and Handy both outside, and now Cyber, equally outside the rest of the setup.

06:55:21.760 --> 06:55:24.960
Not in a difficult position that defenders often have to play.

06:55:24.960 --> 06:55:28.760
Trying to play his life as Licky Facks holding his cutoff at Yokai will give some support,

06:55:28.760 --> 06:55:33.460
give some information, and push her back with the quick Yokai stun.

06:55:33.460 --> 06:55:38.760
But he still remains, and Licky Fack, one around the corner, or Cyber,

06:55:38.760 --> 06:55:43.760
Going up against users on the opposite side, no match for the F2, Falcons with an advantage.

06:55:43.760 --> 06:55:50.760
Users a massive kill there, the very patient to try and pick Cyber off and get him away from the rest of the pack, Vitzking.

06:55:50.760 --> 06:55:55.760
He can start to now rotate some of that Yokai utility and get it into a little bit of a better position.

06:55:55.760 --> 06:56:02.760
They've done a great job of holding out on that extension, but now they find themselves where they weren't able to keep Cyber safe and they weren't able to trade it back.

06:56:02.760 --> 06:56:07.760
So now we have a situation where Vitzking and Solz are left in a bit of a disadvantage here.

06:56:07.760 --> 06:56:14.660
Licky-fucking-users, yes, they are both low, but there's still 45 seconds left on the clock and still ways of gathering information.

06:56:14.660 --> 06:56:19.960
Breede, he's got a full wealth of utility, everything to play with on Capitow right now.

06:56:21.060 --> 06:56:24.060
And depending on how many magnets there are remaining, they could get caught, but...

06:56:24.060 --> 06:56:29.060
You've got some time to go through this barn, they've got time to walk off these angles, use these fire bolts,

06:56:29.060 --> 06:56:33.760
Licky-fuck a quick kill on Office Door, and Sol's stuck currently behind the piano shield,

06:56:33.760 --> 06:56:37.360
He's one creep in, but this is an easy position to read for Falkins,

06:56:37.360 --> 06:56:39.200
a much harder player to deal with.

06:56:39.200 --> 06:56:41.360
And it's just Licky Fack for a couple more seconds

06:56:41.360 --> 06:56:43.360
until Greedy can get back up.

06:56:43.360 --> 06:56:44.960
He grabs Brown, so he sees another,

06:56:44.960 --> 06:56:47.600
but it'll be so much ammo in that Rony.

06:56:47.600 --> 06:56:50.320
Even just a quick spray depletes his supply,

06:56:50.320 --> 06:56:52.560
and Falkins bounce back quick.

06:56:52.560 --> 06:56:55.840
Falkins, this is how they started off over on Clubhouse.

06:56:55.840 --> 06:56:57.440
And as we've learned, it doesn't matter how you start,

06:56:57.440 --> 06:56:59.040
it's how you finish, but that is the best way

06:56:59.040 --> 06:57:02.800
that they could have kicked off this campaign on Chalet right now.

06:57:03.760 --> 06:57:05.760
And he was looking a bit dicey for a time.

06:57:05.760 --> 06:57:09.760
I think the hole from FaZe in the early portion was fantastic.

06:57:09.760 --> 06:57:12.760
Again, it came down to a player like Euzis.

06:57:12.760 --> 06:57:17.760
Two very key kills that he's able to get that just free up the roam game.

06:57:17.760 --> 06:57:19.760
All of a sudden, perhaps don't need to worry about it.

06:57:19.760 --> 06:57:21.760
We can just start moving forward.

06:57:22.760 --> 06:57:25.760
Dealing with those players in those lurk positions

06:57:25.760 --> 06:57:29.760
and not allowing them to get back to site would be massive for Falcon so far.

06:57:29.760 --> 06:57:32.760
Not only have they been doing it quite cheaply,

06:57:32.760 --> 06:57:37.760
But we've also been doing it very effectively, time-wise, giving themselves plenty to the late Apportion.

06:57:39.760 --> 06:57:44.760
Two men cleared by Licky-Fack and users there. Only two players with Falcons get kills throughout that round,

06:57:44.760 --> 06:57:49.760
and quite literally just moving into the middle floor, carving up the roam, splitting the winnings,

06:57:49.760 --> 06:57:52.760
and moving on to the site and greedy to go for that plant.

06:57:52.760 --> 06:57:56.760
Big first round for Falcons to bounce back after a heartbreaking loss on their pick of Floodhouse.

06:57:56.760 --> 06:58:00.760
You need everything you can get your hands on, and face his home turf.

06:58:00.760 --> 06:58:04.760
The first site goes their way. Now look to bar and games for the second.

06:58:04.760 --> 06:58:08.760
One that we saw Falcons and I think a lot of teams so far in this tournament,

06:58:08.760 --> 06:58:12.760
Ali showed a preference for it. The position that we always see a lot of

06:58:12.760 --> 06:58:16.760
attention paid to is that stock position. Getting library, making sure

06:58:16.760 --> 06:58:20.760
you're not exposing yourself to that angle. It's something Falcons have to concern themselves with.

06:58:20.760 --> 06:58:24.760
KDS, with a lot of close play at the moment. He's also got

06:58:24.760 --> 06:58:28.760
Visicking down below. That hatch is open, which it is.

06:58:28.760 --> 06:58:31.280
He's going to have a nice line on anyone trying to hop on in.

06:58:31.280 --> 06:58:34.200
So he's going to be so straight forward to clear out this live

06:58:34.200 --> 06:58:36.800
reposition, especially given that KDS is playing on that one

06:58:36.800 --> 06:58:40.720
line deployable shield, couple of magnets kicking around.

06:58:40.720 --> 06:58:43.040
It's going to take a little bit more than the lion scan and a jump

06:58:43.040 --> 06:58:44.320
on in.

06:58:44.320 --> 06:58:45.840
And I'm going to have to see some utility

06:58:45.840 --> 06:58:48.040
exchanged over in that direction.

06:58:48.040 --> 06:58:49.000
Leaky back.

06:58:49.000 --> 06:58:50.080
You're going to get a chance here.

06:58:50.080 --> 06:58:52.000
And you're going to need to land too many shots for that.

06:58:52.000 --> 06:58:54.320
D-M-R sneaks his way in through mud

06:58:54.320 --> 06:58:56.880
and is able to take souls down.

06:58:56.880 --> 06:59:02.800
Now he's got the Blitz moving on in, users, and looking back, trying to make basically round one happen again.

06:59:02.800 --> 06:59:07.880
Don't be, don't be, might go down with the Blitz in the shields, in general alive inside the site.

06:59:07.880 --> 06:59:10.200
Where was this bump? It's on Clubhouse.

06:59:12.120 --> 06:59:14.880
Decided to show up at that plate, I guess. We'll take it.

06:59:18.040 --> 06:59:22.800
It's a carbon copy so far for how Clubhouse started. Two very dominant rounds.

06:59:22.800 --> 06:59:33.200
Let's hope for Falcon's sake, they don't run out of gas again.

06:59:33.200 --> 06:59:34.960
Early timeout from FaZe, potentially.

06:59:34.960 --> 06:59:36.120
No, surely not.

06:59:36.120 --> 06:59:38.240
It worked quite well on Club.

06:59:38.240 --> 06:59:39.240
Worked very well on Club.

06:59:39.240 --> 06:59:43.360
It worked well on Club, but I don't know, LeakyFact dropped like a truth nuke on the

06:59:43.360 --> 06:59:45.960
enemy team and dropped like eight kills in the first two rounds.

06:59:45.960 --> 06:59:47.960
We haven't really seen that happen so far.

06:59:47.960 --> 06:59:48.960
What's worse though?

06:59:48.960 --> 06:59:52.760
One player dropping eight, or you just dropping four, June dropping two, and LeakyFact dropping

06:59:52.760 --> 06:59:57.600
three. I think eight being the biggest number here and me being a very simple

06:59:57.600 --> 07:00:02.480
brain. This is simple brain person. I think the bigger number scares the team

07:00:02.480 --> 07:00:10.040
more than like the diffused smaller numbers. What do I know?

07:00:12.200 --> 07:00:15.200
Maybe a tentative. The Vikings play a little bit of a clash here. We've got

07:00:15.200 --> 07:00:20.240
Cyber on a bit of a trademark offense. It's going to be out there on Ella. Just looking to

07:00:20.240 --> 07:00:22.240
feel a little more self-sufficient, because,

07:00:22.240 --> 07:00:25.240
mind, they can help him to keep control of different areas.

07:00:25.240 --> 07:00:27.240
Those that have been a bit of a want,

07:00:27.240 --> 07:00:30.240
players getting in through mud, getting in through barren games.

07:00:30.240 --> 07:00:33.240
So, it's going to be where he's going to start to lay a couple of those traps,

07:00:33.240 --> 07:00:34.240
at least for the early board.

07:00:34.240 --> 07:00:36.240
He should barricade some of those doors.

07:00:36.240 --> 07:00:38.240
So, it's always Christmas in pocket, of course.

07:00:38.240 --> 07:00:40.240
He'll be playing those as and when required.

07:00:40.240 --> 07:00:42.240
But it's a big focus right now,

07:00:42.240 --> 07:00:44.240
and a similar focus is what we've seen

07:00:44.240 --> 07:00:46.240
from the last couple of rounds from Falcons is

07:00:46.240 --> 07:00:47.240
getting control of that library,

07:00:47.240 --> 07:00:52.240
library and getting downstairs into bar and games and trying to use that to push through the rest of the site.

07:00:54.740 --> 07:00:57.240
It's been the focal point for each one of these rounds from Falkens.

07:00:57.740 --> 07:00:59.240
They're in quite different ways.

07:00:59.740 --> 07:01:03.740
Saw a lurk in the first, she opened the second, now just more direct control in the third.

07:01:03.740 --> 07:01:07.740
Salatop hopping in, getting a immediate lay of the land.

07:01:07.740 --> 07:01:10.240
Then using the drones to then see what's over by Blue Stairs.

07:01:10.240 --> 07:01:12.740
See what's over in Short, see what's over from Kitchen.

07:01:12.740 --> 07:01:14.740
June, hello!

07:01:14.740 --> 07:01:18.740
A lot of opening deaths that we saw on Clubhouse this time.

07:01:18.740 --> 07:01:20.740
Playing the normal library position for Falcons.

07:01:20.740 --> 07:01:22.740
Fighting a bit more success this go-around.

07:01:22.740 --> 07:01:24.740
A long angle takes down Handy.

07:01:24.740 --> 07:01:27.740
Player, you have to deal with against Pace.

07:01:27.740 --> 07:01:30.740
We've seen throughout this series, but Cyber as well.

07:01:30.740 --> 07:01:33.740
An absolute menace on these defenses.

07:01:33.740 --> 07:01:35.740
A long angle.

07:01:35.740 --> 07:01:39.740
Nullifies the Candelas and that just leaves the intel for Falcons remaining.

07:01:39.740 --> 07:01:44.740
Also, a lot of utility dedicated towards clearing out Bidiking on this clash.

07:01:44.740 --> 07:01:50.740
He has to be careful. He is very, very far away from the rest of the defense.

07:01:50.740 --> 07:01:55.740
Falken's trying their best to use this utility, but there we go. That's the cross we needed to see.

07:01:55.740 --> 07:01:59.740
Switching out with the SMG, Bidiking will seal the kill while it's solo top.

07:01:59.740 --> 07:02:03.740
The phase not with any clear lead. Redate from the top ropes.

07:02:03.740 --> 07:02:07.700
Pyle drives the clash and yet fells in the process.

07:02:07.700 --> 07:02:10.620
Souls so good on this cross!

07:02:10.620 --> 07:02:13.580
Souls so good with the TCSG.

07:02:13.580 --> 07:02:18.180
Licky-Fack, can you succeed where your teammates have failed?

07:02:18.180 --> 07:02:21.300
Three bodies currently litter short.

07:02:21.300 --> 07:02:26.500
And men who thought themselves capable of fighting souls

07:02:26.500 --> 07:02:28.820
sitting inside of dining.

07:02:28.820 --> 07:02:30.620
No calls.

07:02:30.620 --> 07:02:32.940
No flashbags.

07:02:32.940 --> 07:02:38.180
What are you going to do to get around this? Intel spotted, playing it so patient.

07:02:38.180 --> 07:02:44.620
He sees him around the corner, but Solz doesn't even have to move to get four kills for FaZe.

07:02:46.500 --> 07:02:48.380
A bit of an unfortunate one there, four Falcons.

07:02:48.380 --> 07:02:50.540
They never actually managed to get that sidewall open.

07:02:50.540 --> 07:02:55.100
Just too distracted in the hold, too distracted in the clash, too distracted in cyber,

07:02:55.100 --> 07:02:57.100
and what was going on elsewhere on the map.

07:02:58.180 --> 07:03:01.940
Without that wall open, it's going to be very easy for a player like Solz to tuck in,

07:03:01.940 --> 07:03:05.420
find a very tight angle and just continue to hold it.

07:03:05.420 --> 07:03:08.580
Kept making a life for a good portion of time on those library stairs.

07:03:08.580 --> 07:03:12.820
And of course, as we saw, was able to grab three kills for his troubles.

07:03:12.820 --> 07:03:16.340
Faze, join Falcons on the scoreboard now.

07:03:16.340 --> 07:03:19.940
It's going to tilt two to one, which will favor Falcons.

07:03:19.940 --> 07:03:21.940
They are going to choose now to take their tactical time out.

07:03:31.940 --> 07:03:33.940
For those guys who are...

07:03:33.940 --> 07:03:35.940
Oh, listen, I'm going to keep going.

07:03:35.940 --> 07:03:37.940
And without the bomb from Sweet, from the bomb from Bar,

07:03:37.940 --> 07:03:39.940
the souls, take the Aruni,

07:03:39.940 --> 07:03:41.940
we're going to do the same move, just use the Aruni

07:03:41.940 --> 07:03:43.940
and put the person on the KD, you know?

07:03:43.940 --> 07:03:45.940
Because if you always do Foco Bomb,

07:03:45.940 --> 07:03:47.940
they're not bringing, like,

07:03:47.940 --> 07:03:49.940
to take you on the KD.

07:03:49.940 --> 07:03:51.940
So keep going there, and if you do it with the captain,

07:03:51.940 --> 07:03:53.940
the first one will be the KD's pinnacle.

07:03:53.940 --> 07:03:55.940
If you use the KD's point of view, it's done.

07:03:55.940 --> 07:03:57.940
That's it.

07:03:57.940 --> 07:03:59.940
Listen, Raph, you're the best picker in the smoke,

07:03:59.940 --> 07:04:01.940
You can, you can.

07:04:01.940 --> 07:04:02.940
Ok, let's go, let's go.

07:04:02.940 --> 07:04:04.940
You can also get souls.

07:04:04.940 --> 07:04:05.940
Let's go.

07:04:29.940 --> 07:04:34.440
biggest fan of. We'll try and game plan something different going into round four.

07:04:36.440 --> 07:04:40.940
FaZe understand the current meta for timeouts very well I think. They like to take an early timeout.

07:04:40.940 --> 07:04:46.440
They know they're going to get the halfway point to just sort of freshen up for whatever that second side is going to be.

07:04:46.440 --> 07:04:52.440
They don't let the bleeding really start to slip. It's a very similar landscape to what we saw over on Clickhouse.

07:04:52.440 --> 07:04:59.440
Starts to appear on Chalet as well. No clash this time but still some familiar faces. We've got the Ella this time being played

07:04:59.440 --> 07:05:04.300
by Solz. Cyber, he's gonna flip over onto a mute, and we are gonna start to see a little

07:05:04.300 --> 07:05:09.300
bit of thorn action. We've got a little bit inside of round two. We are gonna get it here

07:05:09.300 --> 07:05:17.380
in round four as well. Four holes now, four phase. The Falcons. It's all about how they're

07:05:17.380 --> 07:05:23.420
gonna try and break this. The first couple of rounds. You just massive three-k hit on

07:05:23.420 --> 07:05:27.560
Round ball and Leafy back, really impactful open and picking round two and round four.

07:05:27.560 --> 07:05:28.940
He's gonna take it out.

07:05:28.940 --> 07:05:32.380
Cyber catches him short with the SMG-11 and Lyon.

07:05:32.380 --> 07:05:37.540
Something that is often banned five days on this very map to try and keep people safe.

07:05:37.540 --> 07:05:39.260
There's no longer a fighter.

07:05:39.260 --> 07:05:41.540
No, Binikin forced out of the corner as well.

07:05:41.540 --> 07:05:44.860
Smoke, usually not an opportunity we see going down this early.

07:05:44.860 --> 07:05:47.740
Bites himself with the bottom of the block here on solar window.

07:05:47.740 --> 07:05:50.260
Falkins trying to get back into things.

07:05:50.260 --> 07:05:54.460
We've got three players, a Null Factor currently in round four.

07:05:54.460 --> 07:05:56.940
Two not even using the shield.

07:05:56.940 --> 07:05:58.940
He's put it on his back, pulled out the scar,

07:05:58.940 --> 07:06:02.460
and I'll be pulling out Cam Duty for three days

07:06:02.460 --> 07:06:04.020
for the next two minutes.

07:06:04.020 --> 07:06:06.540
Whatever gamble Falcons thought they could play,

07:06:06.540 --> 07:06:09.020
it did not pay off.

07:06:09.020 --> 07:06:10.700
They just quickly realizing the situation,

07:06:10.700 --> 07:06:12.580
getting a handle on things.

07:06:12.580 --> 07:06:15.020
We've got a repeated clubhouse for the moment,

07:06:15.020 --> 07:06:17.980
a big start by Falcons, a time out by Thays,

07:06:17.980 --> 07:06:24.220
and then a two round comeback in which it just seems like they have everything under control.

07:06:25.820 --> 07:06:29.900
And it wasn't even the timeout that did that for FaZe. It felt like the timeout could have

07:06:29.900 --> 07:06:33.340
happened or not. It was the way that Falcons approached the round. They were just running

07:06:33.340 --> 07:06:37.020
at them full sprinting, maybe trying to embody a little bit that energy that they brought in

07:06:37.020 --> 07:06:41.340
round one and two and this time it just being batted back at the threshold.

07:06:48.460 --> 07:06:53.660
You can see the idea from Falkins as well. Just trying to get some quick pace, especially if

07:06:53.660 --> 07:06:57.820
attack time out. As we obviously heard Faze paying a lot of attention to what operators

07:06:57.820 --> 07:07:00.700
they want to bring, what kind of setup. And a lot of operators as well, they don't really do a lot

07:07:00.700 --> 07:07:04.780
of moving, don't really do a lot of sprinting around the map on smoke, a lot of the runey talk.

07:07:04.780 --> 07:07:10.420
And so Falcons not even knowing that decided to make the read to go quickly and it's just completely something it's stopped

07:07:10.980 --> 07:07:13.140
Wounded entirely by FaZe Clan

07:07:14.140 --> 07:07:19.260
Now tie things up again just like clubhouse. This could mean we have another OT game for us in store

07:07:20.580 --> 07:07:24.500
FaZe have the momentum presently in Falcons now the onus is on them

07:07:25.180 --> 07:07:32.260
Bring this momentum back to make a compelling argument against the two-time world champions bar and games from FaZe now

07:07:32.260 --> 07:07:35.700
Another site we heard mentioned a little bit in the time-out of days

07:07:35.700 --> 07:07:39.180
I'll see what changes we see here because again it seems a size of cyber

07:07:39.180 --> 07:07:41.780
Which everyone's got the memo and it is stick to the site

07:07:47.020 --> 07:07:54.220
The mission objective is becoming increasingly more clear as this game takes on by and that is that phase are going to challenge

07:07:54.220 --> 07:07:56.220
Alchins at the spawn

07:07:56.220 --> 07:07:59.900
They are not going to give them free passage to the building at all

07:08:02.260 --> 07:08:06.420
even saying let me play let me do something let me have a bit of involvement here

07:08:07.940 --> 07:08:11.300
high spirits for the moment but this is going to get to crunch time very quickly

07:08:13.300 --> 07:08:15.380
especially losing your race things get problematic june

07:08:16.260 --> 07:08:20.020
plan that needs to go big with these dmr's caught with an aid in hand somehow doesn't die

07:08:20.900 --> 07:08:27.460
i honestly cannot believe june did not just die at kds's mp5 but my instead just slips back around

07:08:27.460 --> 07:08:33.000
the corner, plays the mezzanine position. All safe and sound for Falcons out on the

07:08:33.000 --> 07:08:40.160
balcony, but they still in the advantage. Again, KDS is popping in and out of library.

07:08:40.160 --> 07:08:44.120
He's got the shield to play behind. So can dodge line of sight against the attack to

07:08:44.120 --> 07:08:48.960
the moment. In a particularly difficult position for the attack to clear, you might have these

07:08:48.960 --> 07:08:52.720
magnets that can catch the bolts. You don't have a whole lot of secondary utility to burn

07:08:52.720 --> 07:08:56.200
it either, so getting used is activated by extension is going to be a bit more difficult

07:08:56.200 --> 07:09:03.340
So long as this is alive for Brede smoke moving down below users also join him doom around the mother position

07:09:12.840 --> 07:09:19.080
Blue stairs and that is likely going to now be the round bit of an impactless kill there coming through from Brede

07:09:19.080 --> 07:09:22.920
As he is able to get through the drone hole, but he won't be able to transition

07:09:26.200 --> 07:09:29.480
He's been locked down by a razor bloom, but a 1D1 to be the wall.

07:09:29.480 --> 07:09:32.120
He just sees the head again, fire vote going out.

07:09:32.120 --> 07:09:35.400
Might just force him out of position, force cyber to the left.

07:09:35.400 --> 07:09:38.600
This smoke might harm Breede just as much as it helps.

07:09:38.600 --> 07:09:42.120
He'll creep through as he regains all of his mobility.

07:09:42.120 --> 07:09:45.760
But it's an easy pre-fire for Handy and Faze with three in a row.

07:09:45.760 --> 07:09:49.120
Got a little bit real there, and it looked like Breede might actually pull it out of the bag.

07:09:49.120 --> 07:09:54.280
But then you remember who he is going up against in that final one versus two.

07:09:54.280 --> 07:09:58.040
Very duckback, no need to overreact, no need to pressure.

07:09:58.040 --> 07:10:00.560
Wait for Brede to make his chosen play,

07:10:00.560 --> 07:10:03.320
where that's gonna diffuse down and double-push it at that time,

07:10:03.320 --> 07:10:06.320
or he tries to sneak-play all the way through the smoke.

07:10:07.680 --> 07:10:09.840
And the call was good from Parking.

07:10:09.840 --> 07:10:11.280
He knew where the deployable shield was.

07:10:11.280 --> 07:10:13.240
They knew that there was no way that they were gonna get hard

07:10:13.240 --> 07:10:15.120
if they tried to just walk into the site,

07:10:15.120 --> 07:10:17.400
and especially going through that murdering angle.

07:10:17.400 --> 07:10:20.240
But they're just never accounting for Handi in Handi's position

07:10:20.240 --> 07:10:21.800
about the level of portion.

07:10:21.800 --> 07:10:25.480
But by the same token, it seems quite evident that Handi had accounted for that possibility.

07:10:25.480 --> 07:10:29.280
Well, guess what? If Leaky Fight dies first, where's Leaky Fight likely going to be coming up from?

07:10:29.280 --> 07:10:33.440
Probably Garage. Probably up those very blue stairs, that very blue corridor.

07:10:33.440 --> 07:10:35.600
And it just opens the door and Handi can go. Oh, great.

07:10:35.600 --> 07:10:37.720
Thanks, Simon. I'll just play here for free, shall I?

07:10:38.160 --> 07:10:43.000
And so, Faze continuing to show just how complete a package this team is.

07:10:43.000 --> 07:10:48.880
They've been a roster. They've been a core five for over three years at this point.

07:10:48.880 --> 07:10:52.640
These might have been in major finals before, but this roster, while they haven't,

07:10:52.640 --> 07:10:56.160
they have shown their dominance, their consistency on the international scene,

07:10:56.160 --> 07:11:00.640
time and time again, event after event. And a kind of thing like that,

07:11:02.160 --> 07:11:05.600
where the attack hasn't cleared out the top floor, or they're going to go based on it,

07:11:05.600 --> 07:11:11.120
they're going to go from blue or mudroom. They've made these calculations so many times in the past.

07:11:11.120 --> 07:11:13.920
It gives them the confidence to go for that solar spawn peek.

07:11:13.920 --> 07:11:20.080
gotta give leaky fat credit, still keeping positive and thankfully for all of us, no

07:11:20.080 --> 07:11:23.360
spawnpeek going the way it is. I love how both of them are still going for it here.

07:11:23.360 --> 07:11:27.280
This is a limited issue map potentially and the boat is having a bit of a laugh on them

07:11:27.280 --> 07:11:32.240
on a spawnpeek. Couple of points of damage put in on to leaky fat as well. One more siege,

07:11:32.240 --> 07:11:36.480
one shot headshot. Regardless of range you're gonna be out of there so let's dance them

07:11:36.480 --> 07:11:39.960
with the devil a little bit but we'll get away with it for the first opening portion

07:11:39.960 --> 07:11:45.480
of round six. No doubt there will be an engagement a little bit later on likely between those two,

07:11:45.480 --> 07:11:49.880
but at least in the first minute everyone has stayed alive. Pre-day has also made pretty good

07:11:49.880 --> 07:11:55.160
ground already giving himself through that fireplace and already knocking on the door of this upstairs

07:11:55.160 --> 07:11:59.800
breach. Obviously a whole lot of upstairs inside of office and master is pretty much required to

07:11:59.800 --> 07:12:04.520
keep control of kitchen. That's why handy's there. You can place those Zoto canisters and just slow

07:12:04.520 --> 07:12:05.520
down this progress.

07:12:05.520 --> 07:12:11.680
So I keep the attack away as long as possible, and he also faces some vertical pressure from

07:12:11.680 --> 07:12:13.760
player down below and dining.

07:12:13.760 --> 07:12:18.800
There's almost lethal damage to use this, but the ace just escaping, and handy taking

07:12:18.800 --> 07:12:21.400
up an off angle on the office balcony door when he's in June.

07:12:21.400 --> 07:12:24.840
Might just hang with them, got deathmark tractors to give them something advantage.

07:12:24.840 --> 07:12:29.000
They can't flash through the double window, but nobody actually on the rappel, so he's

07:12:29.000 --> 07:12:30.800
safe for the time being.

07:12:30.800 --> 07:12:36.480
I think to worry about that my change is uses moving up to the side of the building looking to take

07:12:39.200 --> 07:12:42.960
That was the easiest kill of his life because of our candidate earlier, but lucky back in June

07:12:43.840 --> 07:12:47.920
Just quickly hopping in of taking out not not with some important players, but the piano one in particular

07:12:48.240 --> 07:12:51.120
And cyber making that run out is now known to be off site

07:12:51.280 --> 07:12:54.640
He's having to make his way up solar and in through that area

07:12:54.720 --> 07:12:58.000
He can try and push in a little bit through bathroom try and push a bit through master

07:12:58.000 --> 07:13:01.000
But there is a bit of a cutoff being held on this top floor.

07:13:01.000 --> 07:13:05.500
The site is downstairs though, and now we have to see the transition here from Falcons.

07:13:05.500 --> 07:13:08.500
They haven't really got the bodies to leave somebody up here.

07:13:08.500 --> 07:13:12.500
We might see June maybe remain, but they need to make progress on the site here, Link.

07:13:12.500 --> 07:13:14.500
Otherwise, they're going to run out of time.

07:13:21.500 --> 07:13:26.000
Creating some new angles and the wall is only going to add so much to this Falcons attack.

07:13:26.000 --> 07:13:30.000
LickyFax made his way in, cleared a new path for the diffuser.

07:13:30.000 --> 07:13:33.000
Not in his possession, neither player made it in sight.

07:13:33.000 --> 07:13:38.000
June's gone down a bomb, and that means the horizontal's the main factor left for Falkins.

07:13:38.000 --> 07:13:43.000
That simplifies things for FaZe, and the last thing you want against the best team in the world

07:13:43.000 --> 07:13:47.000
is to give themselves an equation that they could solve in their sleep.

07:13:47.000 --> 07:13:52.000
Bride and LickyFax both just one bullet away, and with no time to go,

07:13:52.000 --> 07:13:56.800
Looking back, we'll give in to the good old college tribe at Cyber around the corner!

07:13:58.000 --> 07:13:59.200
He's been here before.

07:13:59.800 --> 07:14:01.600
He's got the job done.

07:14:01.800 --> 07:14:03.600
He's given FaZe a 4-2 lead.

07:14:13.800 --> 07:14:14.600
Can you hear me?

07:14:14.600 --> 07:14:15.100
Yeah.

07:14:15.600 --> 07:14:17.000
Okay, one attack.

07:14:17.200 --> 07:14:18.800
They are pushing at the same time.

07:14:18.800 --> 07:14:20.800
At the same time, so we should be ready to react together.

07:14:20.800 --> 07:14:23.560
I think we just play our game, like what the fuck do we have to lose, you know?

07:14:23.560 --> 07:14:25.640
Don't have nothing to lose guys, if you guys wanna play fucking aggro,

07:14:25.640 --> 07:14:28.920
in fact we can do it, if we wanna play for back, we can do it good as well.

07:14:28.920 --> 07:14:31.800
I feel like on attack, these last rounds, just like,

07:14:31.800 --> 07:14:36.000
the guy pauses and say, oh it's Paul Pitch, I don't know what to do, you know?

07:14:36.000 --> 07:14:38.640
And then last round, I think, just missy with like the 3-2-1, you know?

07:14:38.640 --> 07:14:41.520
You just go at the same page, and that's what we need for defense, okay?

07:14:41.520 --> 07:14:43.120
Yeah, you can explain the...

07:14:43.120 --> 07:14:46.120
Yeah, I will just say like, they always put at the same time,

07:14:46.120 --> 07:14:48.560
exactly at the same time, that's why they are good on the map, guys.

07:14:48.560 --> 07:14:55.920
So when we see someone pushing, the other will push, or there is maybe the jungle guy cutting, but they will all push at the same time, and that's why they're really good on this map, okay?

07:14:56.400 --> 07:14:58.080
So we should be ready to react together.

07:14:58.400 --> 07:15:04.920
They never put their morn on the piano and pass through windows, but they put always four library mud, and they carry it, so if you want to run out, you run out of the window.

07:15:05.080 --> 07:15:07.240
You don't run out mud or library, okay, useless.

07:15:07.240 --> 07:15:07.740
Yeah.

07:15:07.740 --> 07:15:14.240
Our gaming, the AXR go master solar clear, as far with one old thing piano, or like you come back from piano.

07:15:14.240 --> 07:15:16.240
I'm not letting anyone play, man.

07:15:16.240 --> 07:15:17.240
Fuck.

07:15:19.240 --> 07:15:21.240
And that's it. We can't talk.

07:15:22.240 --> 07:15:23.240
And the baron?

07:15:24.240 --> 07:15:26.240
Stop being scared, guys.

07:15:26.240 --> 07:15:30.240
They like to do that replay of yours, just like that.

07:15:30.240 --> 07:15:32.240
They play a replay of yours.

07:15:32.240 --> 07:15:35.240
You make the two walls, just like they do on Tesla.

07:15:35.240 --> 07:15:36.240
They take the drone.

07:15:36.240 --> 07:15:39.240
The way to replay it, we keep going forward.

07:15:39.240 --> 07:15:41.240
You can take the burning bomb, it's an old one.

07:15:41.240 --> 07:15:42.240
I'll take the other one.

07:15:42.240 --> 07:15:44.640
None of the stuff is transferable to the fire department

07:15:44.640 --> 07:15:46.640
It depends on the fire department

07:15:46.640 --> 07:15:48.640
The fire department is changing a lot

07:15:48.640 --> 07:15:50.640
And the guy always hits the KDS

07:15:50.640 --> 07:15:52.640
So the KDS will be fine if you start with him

07:15:52.640 --> 07:15:54.640
He always starts with the KDS

07:15:54.640 --> 07:15:56.640
and does that HSE and you can go out

07:15:58.640 --> 07:16:00.640
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

07:16:00.640 --> 07:16:02.640
Let's go, let's go, let's go

07:16:02.640 --> 07:16:04.640
Let's go, let's go

07:16:04.640 --> 07:16:06.640
Let's go

07:16:06.640 --> 07:16:08.640
I'm going to see who the other guys are

07:16:08.640 --> 07:16:10.640
Because I have

07:16:12.240 --> 07:16:20.120
One thing I think it's worth mentioning that we heard in that tag timeout, nothing really

07:16:20.120 --> 07:16:21.120
angry.

07:16:21.120 --> 07:16:25.040
I feel like every event we've been treated to like some kind of crash out from licky

07:16:25.040 --> 07:16:28.440
fact a moment where it just seems like the pressure's getting to them or he's freaking

07:16:28.440 --> 07:16:31.040
out and everybody on the team feels scared.

07:16:31.040 --> 07:16:33.080
Falcons were laughing for 30, 45 seconds.

07:16:33.080 --> 07:16:36.920
They were literally cracking jokes about Cyber spawn peeking them and it feels like even

07:16:36.920 --> 07:16:40.440
at the end of losing this, it feels like Falcons have absolved themselves of the pressure

07:16:40.440 --> 07:16:44.120
that was really weighing them down on those past rosters and those past tournaments.

07:16:44.120 --> 07:16:48.040
It was evident even from Julio wasn't it? It was just guys I think we just go out there and have fun

07:16:48.040 --> 07:16:51.800
if we want to play quickly, play quickly, if we want to play aggro, play aggro, just go out there

07:16:51.800 --> 07:16:55.800
and play whatever you think is going to be the best playstyle, whatever matches that the best.

07:16:56.760 --> 07:17:01.560
It's quite refreshing in some ways, especially for an online nation game, for a game

07:17:01.560 --> 07:17:07.320
in that gives a spot to the semi-finals tomorrow. I was definitely expecting a little bit more

07:17:07.320 --> 07:17:11.660
He and a bit more passion coming out of there, but Falcons happy to keep cool heads

07:17:11.960 --> 07:17:15.740
Maybe understanding that that's where they're going to perform their best here is they go into what is

07:17:16.260 --> 07:17:19.940
Undoubtedly going to be a tough half off siege against phase

07:17:23.720 --> 07:17:26.600
Now the issue playing phase on these shally attacks is a

07:17:27.960 --> 07:17:33.400
Every style in the meta we have right now they play shields. They play game. I still could be snake

07:17:33.400 --> 07:17:38.400
If they play more structured setups with disruption ops like the Grim and the Yeen,

07:17:38.400 --> 07:17:44.400
it's probably on this map against FaZe in particular where the bands feel the most pointless for their opponents.

07:17:44.400 --> 07:17:46.400
Because you can take out important things.

07:17:46.400 --> 07:17:51.400
Monty Snake probably can do best bands on this map against FaZe, on equivocally,

07:17:51.400 --> 07:17:58.400
and they can just basically play every style on this map that you can play for your own comfort because you're not going to play to disrupt FaZe.

07:17:58.400 --> 07:18:00.400
You still give inside a demo at the end of the day.

07:18:00.400 --> 07:18:02.960
You know, and if you don't mind the day much, you're still giving him snake.

07:18:02.960 --> 07:18:05.440
If you don't mind that you're still giving him the dog, you get the picture.

07:18:05.440 --> 07:18:08.400
You're only going to be giving them something extremely powerful.

07:18:08.400 --> 07:18:10.880
Hand it off on the black beard as well.

07:18:11.760 --> 07:18:15.120
You had a fun fight about KDS on this map, didn't you?

07:18:15.120 --> 07:18:18.480
An unthinkable amount of rounds on the striker.

07:18:18.480 --> 07:18:23.600
Something close to like 50 rounds on striker throughout their like the past few months on Chalet.

07:18:23.600 --> 07:18:28.080
It's just, it's just so funny because it's like striker just feels like such a nothing operator.

07:18:28.080 --> 07:18:34.440
Like KDS is picking an M4 flashes and two nades and he's like, yeah, that's my guy. That's all I need. That's all I need

07:18:34.440 --> 07:18:35.960
That's my guy right there

07:18:35.960 --> 07:18:42.040
That's all KDS needs to get the job done or at least it often is but if a quiet to show in in the opening six rounds here on

07:18:42.040 --> 07:18:45.340
Chalet, but kind of out shun by both souls and cyber

07:18:46.560 --> 07:18:51.440
At least scan onto a leaky fuck. I believe he'll cleanse himself there in one of those mute jammers and

07:18:51.800 --> 07:18:57.140
Immediately get rid of that death mark tracker, but it's not stop cyber from moving in towards solar side

07:18:58.080 --> 07:19:01.920
He's not stopped him. Jumen Likifeck also, taking a peek over towards Piano.

07:19:01.920 --> 07:19:05.320
He's going to say KDS will absolutely be known by Falcons.

07:19:05.320 --> 07:19:09.320
He always plays this position, always plays it on this operator.

07:19:09.320 --> 07:19:10.520
Thank you, Assistant. You're under the cover.

07:19:10.520 --> 07:19:12.160
But you have a bit of a decision to make as the defense.

07:19:12.160 --> 07:19:13.880
Do we try to go for a two-man push?

07:19:13.880 --> 07:19:15.840
Could we just try to swing him on that window?

07:19:15.840 --> 07:19:18.160
But to get him the information that Cyber's already pushed in,

07:19:18.160 --> 07:19:22.200
that Handy's moving in as well, they decide to fall back and rely on this utility.

07:19:22.200 --> 07:19:26.120
That Valkyrie camera could not be any deeper in the rafters

07:19:26.120 --> 07:19:31.120
If you literally put it in the buildings foundation, there's no way that things are going to spot that.

07:19:31.120 --> 07:19:33.120
So that's a great amount of visibility.

07:19:33.120 --> 07:19:36.120
Handy, he can get himself in towards this top floor now.

07:19:36.120 --> 07:19:40.120
He starts to remove some of this utility, but a brilliant shot from Solotov.

07:19:40.120 --> 07:19:43.120
A player that's been quite quiet up until this point.

07:19:43.120 --> 07:19:46.120
He might just have landed an important kill onto Souls,

07:19:46.120 --> 07:19:49.120
securing some more of those reinforced walls.

07:19:49.120 --> 07:19:52.120
Okay, some have already been helping, but players inside a fireplace

07:19:52.120 --> 07:19:54.120
are going to breathe a small sigh of relief.

07:19:54.120 --> 07:19:56.120
from the flip side, you've lost Leaky Fack,

07:19:56.120 --> 07:19:58.720
you've lost that Zolotov, still that Zola scanner.

07:20:00.320 --> 07:20:03.320
Ooh, lost the Deathmark trackers too.

07:20:03.320 --> 07:20:05.320
Zyu picking up the pace a little bit.

07:20:05.320 --> 07:20:07.120
A lot of some Blackbanks flying behind him and Ivy Windo

07:20:07.120 --> 07:20:08.320
and decides to swing ahead.

07:20:08.320 --> 07:20:09.520
Turn this back to the warm-up time,

07:20:09.520 --> 07:20:12.320
and Saved by Usas and saves himself.

07:20:14.320 --> 07:20:17.320
Vulcans always seem to start these haves early,

07:20:17.320 --> 07:20:20.120
but getting everyone involved in round seven,

07:20:20.120 --> 07:20:22.320
it's about as good a start as we can hope.

07:20:22.320 --> 07:20:25.000
And again, the big contribution comes team-wide,

07:20:25.000 --> 07:20:27.760
but individually, users hitting the shots,

07:20:27.760 --> 07:20:29.440
being in the right place at the right time,

07:20:29.440 --> 07:20:31.760
and finding those levels of consistency

07:20:31.760 --> 07:20:35.040
that we've seen him struggle with throughout Swiss and Plains.

07:20:35.040 --> 07:20:37.280
Now is the time that we need to see players like users

07:20:37.280 --> 07:20:39.600
really coming online, of course.

07:20:39.600 --> 07:20:40.960
We expect it from players like June.

07:20:40.960 --> 07:20:43.680
We expect it from players like Leaky Fag.

07:20:43.680 --> 07:20:47.240
But big round there, from Falcons at the sideswap.

07:20:47.240 --> 07:20:48.960
Still trailed by one,

07:20:48.960 --> 07:20:51.360
a phase with a little bit more to think about

07:20:51.360 --> 07:20:52.360
going into round eight.

07:20:54.560 --> 07:20:57.660
We have a little work from Cydre, those long angles.

07:20:57.960 --> 07:21:00.160
They're beautiful for Falcons in that round.

07:21:00.160 --> 07:21:02.060
Solotov with the first kill on that thorn.

07:21:02.060 --> 07:21:04.460
Users obviously with that great double that we just saw.

07:21:05.260 --> 07:21:07.660
Basically just holding the power positions around library

07:21:07.660 --> 07:21:10.460
and doing the absolute most they possibly could with them.

07:21:11.460 --> 07:21:14.160
That's a very good sign for success on the Shelly defenses.

07:21:14.160 --> 07:21:16.460
Something that Desk talked about quite a bit is how

07:21:16.460 --> 07:21:19.160
FaZe make good use of those exterior angles.

07:21:19.360 --> 07:21:20.560
But for that side in particular,

07:21:20.560 --> 07:21:22.800
That's probably one of the hardest ones to do.

07:21:22.800 --> 07:21:24.800
You've got the library window.

07:21:24.800 --> 07:21:26.800
You've got the office balcony window,

07:21:26.800 --> 07:21:29.840
but you don't have necessarily the focus on piano window

07:21:29.840 --> 07:21:31.520
like you do in books with full clear.

07:21:31.520 --> 07:21:33.680
You're not necessarily applying a lot of direct pressure.

07:21:33.680 --> 07:21:36.560
And so for Falcons to basically not only avoid those windows,

07:21:36.560 --> 07:21:38.000
but also hold out around library,

07:21:38.000 --> 07:21:39.840
it's a great sign for that site going forward.

07:21:41.920 --> 07:21:43.920
Orchid Falcons, they can't just play that one side.

07:21:43.920 --> 07:21:46.000
They have to rotate around,

07:21:46.000 --> 07:21:47.520
or they're likely going to see the value

07:21:47.520 --> 07:21:50.400
of those exterior angles increase a little bit.

07:21:50.400 --> 07:21:52.600
as the rounds that drive on by.

07:21:52.600 --> 07:21:55.040
I remember the cheeky shock from the drone there,

07:21:55.040 --> 07:21:59.040
as Jume actually catches a drone with one of his Mozzie pests.

07:21:59.040 --> 07:22:00.680
Ooh, that's probably not what you want to see

07:22:00.680 --> 07:22:02.120
if you are stuck at the moment.

07:22:02.120 --> 07:22:06.720
Did go for a C4, but it's going to have to try and retreat back.

07:22:06.720 --> 07:22:09.640
Basically all he does about C4 is keep the defender outside.

07:22:09.640 --> 07:22:11.320
Now there's nothing he can do there.

07:22:11.320 --> 07:22:13.320
Handy tosses an aid through, takes down Jume.

07:22:13.320 --> 07:22:14.480
Probably the easiest opening pick.

07:22:14.480 --> 07:22:16.520
We've seen Faze get this series so far.

07:22:16.520 --> 07:22:19.160
Looking back, looking to trade it back, running out of support,

07:22:19.160 --> 07:22:22.160
Impact up front, but one player from Budweb coming in from behind.

07:22:22.160 --> 07:22:25.160
Handy! Just clotheslines him on the retreat.

07:22:25.160 --> 07:22:31.160
A minute in in Falcons could not have gone through a worse reversal from last round and now.

07:22:31.160 --> 07:22:36.160
Nine day distance isn't it? It lost three bodies and they haven't been able to give a single response so far.

07:22:36.160 --> 07:22:40.160
Cyber comes in with the kill on to three days and uses...

07:22:40.160 --> 07:22:44.160
There's only a few seconds ago I was praising him, but this is a tall, tall order right now.

07:22:44.160 --> 07:22:48.160
An ace clutch against FaZe. You just don't fancy his chances.

07:22:49.160 --> 07:22:54.160
Especially with what? No secondary utility, 1 HP now.

07:22:55.160 --> 07:23:01.160
This is 5-3 for FaZe and users might as well just keep the ball rolling. Flawless for FaZe Clan.

07:23:01.160 --> 07:23:05.160
Completely erasing the last round from Falken's mind.

07:23:05.160 --> 07:23:09.160
Massive response there from FaZe, round 1 not going their way on the attack.

07:23:09.160 --> 07:23:13.160
The difference, the recipe. Didn't really change all that much.

07:23:13.160 --> 07:23:16.160
There was just a bit more of a focus on gathering that information.

07:23:16.160 --> 07:23:20.880
maybe not the one but to be honest guys I think I would just fall back stress there

07:23:20.880 --> 07:23:24.400
we are all pre-estimating the execute you know like the first round was so easy

07:23:24.400 --> 07:23:28.800
because I think they probably gonna when the solider can bring the valk you can bring intel

07:23:28.800 --> 07:23:33.120
bring the traps just play together you know I feel like if you guys want to aggro the first step

07:23:33.120 --> 07:23:36.960
you guys have to be ready to be five fucking players on the first step you know because they

07:23:36.960 --> 07:23:40.080
they don't care if they take two minutes to clear you guys they're gonna clear you guys okay

07:23:40.080 --> 07:23:44.640
so it's up to you guys how you guys want to play but I feel like fall back with info to retake

07:23:44.640 --> 07:23:47.640
Or maybe like a lot of traps can be good, you know?

07:23:47.640 --> 07:23:48.640
But if you guys...

07:23:48.640 --> 07:23:53.640
I would play trap this round and me as a me and we play full aground their face.

07:23:53.640 --> 07:23:55.640
And the game is in the end.

07:23:55.640 --> 07:23:57.640
In fact, we play full back out.

07:23:57.640 --> 07:23:58.640
No, no!

07:23:58.640 --> 07:23:59.640
Play aground this round.

07:23:59.640 --> 07:24:00.640
Play aground this round.

07:24:02.640 --> 07:24:05.640
Again, another hectic call, but in a good way.

07:24:05.640 --> 07:24:08.640
Quite collaborative in the Falcon products right now.

07:24:08.640 --> 07:24:10.640
Talking about what they might want to do this round.

07:24:10.640 --> 07:24:12.640
And they will need to put all five of their heads together.

07:24:12.640 --> 07:24:18.040
He's collecting, creating a round like we just saw from Handy in particular, still having

07:24:18.040 --> 07:24:21.160
a great series, 95 by Nopy, 20 and 8.

07:24:21.160 --> 07:24:24.680
That means he's got 29 kills through two maps so far.

07:24:24.680 --> 07:24:27.400
Faze are playing at their absolute best right now.

07:24:27.400 --> 07:24:31.240
This might only be their, what, sixth map in the whole tournament.

07:24:31.240 --> 07:24:35.480
But they are playing like they have not missed a step since Paris.

07:24:35.480 --> 07:24:39.840
It's a scary thing about this, Faze, after they can get to the finals and play 8 maps.

07:24:39.840 --> 07:24:41.140
It's just disgusting, isn't it?

07:24:41.140 --> 07:24:44.180
Because it's just so little that you will have then seen of them

07:24:44.180 --> 07:24:46.780
to know what current form they are necessarily in,

07:24:46.780 --> 07:24:48.500
such as small sample size.

07:24:48.500 --> 07:24:51.780
We'll have played less maps than Falcons have come into this series.

07:24:53.780 --> 07:24:55.060
It's not over yet, though.

07:24:55.060 --> 07:24:56.700
And Falcons, after their time out,

07:24:56.700 --> 07:24:59.380
you would hope that they'll be good for a round.

07:24:59.380 --> 07:25:02.540
The Colson Julio, whatever you're going to do, just do it together.

07:25:02.540 --> 07:25:04.580
Because FaZe are going to spend that time clearing you.

07:25:04.580 --> 07:25:07.620
They don't mind if they spend two minutes of their time

07:25:07.620 --> 07:25:11.340
clearing out every single inch of the map because they are confident in their

07:25:11.340 --> 07:25:16.060
ability to execute. So how do you counter that? Well you can play aggressive but if you

07:25:16.060 --> 07:25:20.060
get a play aggro it needs to be done as a full five and that's where we've seen the

07:25:20.060 --> 07:25:24.060
gaps introduced in rounds eight and round seven and that's where we've seen phase two

07:25:24.060 --> 07:25:27.180
a little bit of an advantage.

07:25:28.980 --> 07:25:34.620
When you've been a team this long the rounds all fade together in proportion to each other.

07:25:34.620 --> 07:25:41.620
You can spend minutes, it's been hours in total, slowly piecing these attacks together.

07:25:41.620 --> 07:25:45.620
It is all one and the same for Fades.

07:25:45.620 --> 07:25:51.620
One long career, how many times have they cleared stock, they just did this thing the exact last round.

07:25:51.620 --> 07:25:56.620
And so here, Black Clear jumps in again, you've got your head's information on it, but Yuz is giving more support.

07:25:56.620 --> 07:26:01.620
Trying to play like a full five, and yet Solz, downing two in the process.

07:26:01.620 --> 07:26:07.860
Vulcan's committing so much to helping that Rome and it works. They get fit a king and handy two important picks

07:26:07.860 --> 07:26:09.860
It's better than what we saw before

07:26:09.860 --> 07:26:13.540
It's a two-to-two and you've lost your trap operators trap operators are great for the early portion around

07:26:13.540 --> 07:26:16.340
You know what's good for the later portion a blackbeard phase

07:26:16.340 --> 07:26:21.340
I definitely come up with words out of that opening engagement, but they've got time now to be said

07:26:21.340 --> 07:26:24.060
They've got time to reposition themselves. Yes

07:26:24.060 --> 07:26:29.220
There's still gonna have to go up against leaky back on the his army and likely a couple of grids my mind's kicking around from users

07:26:29.220 --> 07:26:33.700
But it puts them in a much better position now Falcons again. It's about stabilizing

07:26:33.740 --> 07:26:38.340
They need to remember what what's been the recipe for success there. They've done it together reload it

07:26:39.660 --> 07:26:41.220
Play as a full five

07:26:41.220 --> 07:26:46.980
Buy into the same vision the only thing you can do to win against face plan no matter what that strategy is

07:26:46.980 --> 07:26:51.940
You cannot be split team. You cannot be a house divided against a team of this caliber

07:26:52.860 --> 07:26:54.580
So cyber

07:26:54.580 --> 07:26:57.560
Z ping on the Azami walking to the Goya walking the Goumine

07:26:59.220 --> 07:27:02.660
We'll waste a little bit of time for the attack.

07:27:02.660 --> 07:27:06.580
We get a drone in sight while he's just creeping in, but spotted.

07:27:06.580 --> 07:27:11.220
But the fact takes a couple damage, but gains information in turn might be a worthy trade.

07:27:11.220 --> 07:27:13.820
It was whatever angle Cyber could have gotten activated.

07:27:13.820 --> 07:27:15.420
Time running really low down.

07:27:15.420 --> 07:27:16.940
Leaky 5 bit kill on to souls.

07:27:16.940 --> 07:27:20.220
Breede is still below with a C4 as well, to deny this plunge.

07:27:20.220 --> 07:27:24.220
He can easily do it, whether it's Cyber or KDS, but it's got a land.

07:27:24.220 --> 07:27:27.220
The players are dropping up top, and Breede is going to play down below.

07:27:27.220 --> 07:27:31.360
He uses, needs to buy time and Breide needs to buy around.

07:27:31.360 --> 07:27:34.660
Oh and a deathmark tracker on the final player.

07:27:34.660 --> 07:27:37.620
He's been saving it the whole time.

07:27:37.620 --> 07:27:41.380
It hits his feet and Cyber immediately clears out.

07:27:41.380 --> 07:27:44.220
Rotates all the way around.

07:27:45.700 --> 07:27:49.280
Just a knife in the heart of Falcons on round nine.

07:27:49.280 --> 07:27:50.700
Moving it into the post.

07:27:50.700 --> 07:27:52.240
Sia, Breide catches one.

07:27:53.100 --> 07:27:54.940
Your deathmark tracker remaining so Cyber

07:27:54.940 --> 07:27:56.740
just has to win this on intuition.

07:27:57.220 --> 07:28:01.220
Moving as far back as he possibly can.

07:28:01.220 --> 07:28:05.220
This TCSG is a menace at long range.

07:28:05.220 --> 07:28:12.220
It can be difficult to control, but if it hits cyber, he is going down and going down fast.

07:28:12.220 --> 07:28:16.220
So much time though. Breida taking this the slowest phase, taking their attacks,

07:28:16.220 --> 07:28:18.220
and yet cyber giving out a bit of information.

07:28:18.220 --> 07:28:22.220
Not moving a muscle, not moving an inch as Breidae,

07:28:22.220 --> 07:28:29.220
trying, struggling, desperately seeking for some kind of ray, some kind of hope, and

07:28:29.220 --> 07:28:40.220
Cyber snuffs it out by just making him afraid, winning around, off fear alone.

07:28:40.220 --> 07:28:45.220
Breede, not even attempting the bait and switch there to disable that diffuser.

07:28:45.220 --> 07:28:51.220
A big piece of utility that was working against Breede in that clutch, a bulletproof camera,

07:28:51.220 --> 07:28:58.220
He was constantly played by Falcons on those main stairs, hacked by Grava in the opening portion of the round.

07:28:58.220 --> 07:29:05.220
All of that information just being fed directly over to Cyber, enabling him to play as far back as he did.

07:29:05.220 --> 07:29:08.220
As soon as I saw him retreat, I was like, they must have info.

07:29:08.220 --> 07:29:14.220
There's no way Cyber puts that much space between him and the diffuser unless they know exactly what is going on.

07:29:14.220 --> 07:29:16.220
They have got info on that post plan.

07:29:16.220 --> 07:29:19.100
He knew that. He knows the camera has been compromised.

07:29:19.100 --> 07:29:23.820
He knows that every one of his moves is being relayed over to Cyber.

07:29:23.820 --> 07:29:26.620
An incredibly close round coming down to a 1v1.

07:29:26.620 --> 07:29:29.260
We've not seen rounds that close since Clubhouse.

07:29:30.140 --> 07:29:33.260
But now it just pays in a very dangerous position.

07:29:33.260 --> 07:29:34.460
Matching series point.

07:29:38.700 --> 07:29:40.940
So patient from Cyber in that clutch as well.

07:29:40.940 --> 07:29:50.940
Well, the confidence to go that far away from the diffuser and just know you'll be okay.

07:29:50.940 --> 07:29:55.140
You just cannot get there without the kind of experience that Cyber has, that FaZe have

07:29:55.140 --> 07:29:57.940
to support that player, to support each other.

07:29:57.940 --> 07:30:02.940
Falkens will get to play bar and games one more time, thankfully the site's now unlocked.

07:30:02.940 --> 07:30:06.940
But it's looking like this might just be a 7-4 even if Falkens get this.

07:30:06.940 --> 07:30:12.220
the space are playing like they want for this roster the first major trophy like

07:30:12.220 --> 07:30:18.420
they need it. The two hammers are not good enough they have a little bit more

07:30:18.420 --> 07:30:23.220
to prove especially as the last Brazilian team trying to cement themselves as one

07:30:23.220 --> 07:30:25.580
of the greats.

07:30:25.580 --> 07:30:33.500
round ten. Will it be here or will Falcon's head on the floor a little bit longer?

07:30:33.500 --> 07:30:39.860
The rip-offs are very close affair. So far on Shallow, it's gone kind of as we expected

07:30:39.860 --> 07:30:46.500
for a team white phase with this level of record on this map. Jesus, gonna be a little

07:30:46.500 --> 07:30:51.140
bit on his own at the moment. His breathing not too far away underneath, but it does need

07:30:51.140 --> 07:30:57.380
be cautious his location is very lightly known and the drone will move through and start to confirm that

07:30:58.340 --> 07:31:02.100
which gets baited in our position ever so slightly. There's nowhere to go here, Leeds.

07:31:03.860 --> 07:31:07.380
Nowhere to go. You'll get aggressive on the window though. No more see them drop down the hatch but

07:31:07.380 --> 07:31:13.380
use us. Nobody himself gets too comfortable. Understands the odds at state perfocums right now.

07:31:13.380 --> 07:31:18.660
Understand that just one round separates them from survival and death.

07:31:18.660 --> 07:31:23.020
They'll take the aggressive line against Vidicang, decimate the Capitao utility,

07:31:23.020 --> 07:31:27.720
zoom, barely takes any damage, but from that M4 KDS will fall off the window in

07:31:27.720 --> 07:31:31.340
response. Phase for the first time it feels like this whole half really had a

07:31:31.340 --> 07:31:36.580
deficit. The souls, a quick nade, a zombie, she was destined to die in the library.

07:31:36.580 --> 07:31:38.700
It was a matter of when, not if.

07:31:38.700 --> 07:31:41.860
Uzi's done a good job though, he's held on for a little bit of time and he got an opening pick.

07:31:41.860 --> 07:31:45.420
Remove the Capitao and all of the utility that that brings. The diffuser,

07:31:45.420 --> 07:31:48.120
That's in a little bit of a dodgy spot as well because, guess what?

07:31:48.120 --> 07:31:49.720
Vittigin had that in his possession.

07:31:49.720 --> 07:31:51.320
So, Faze want to try and plant this round.

07:31:51.320 --> 07:31:52.720
They're going to have to go and recover it.

07:31:52.720 --> 07:31:55.220
Fortunately, they've got the time to do so.

07:31:55.220 --> 07:31:57.320
But whereas we saw Falcons play aggressively

07:31:57.320 --> 07:31:59.020
and players all fight together,

07:31:59.020 --> 07:32:01.620
they've progressed a little bit and they're a little bit more separate.

07:32:01.620 --> 07:32:03.720
Hence, users not getting traded out there

07:32:03.720 --> 07:32:06.320
and just ended up having to play his life.

07:32:06.320 --> 07:32:09.820
Cyber now moving through the top of this office area.

07:32:09.820 --> 07:32:12.320
He's got a good line over onto library.

07:32:12.320 --> 07:32:16.000
And just needs to land the shot. He's getting peppered left and right right now.

07:32:16.000 --> 07:32:19.840
He's getting demolished by face clan as they quickly move into Ivy.

07:32:19.840 --> 07:32:22.000
Solotov needed to win it!

07:32:24.720 --> 07:32:27.280
Falcons just decide to walk in.

07:32:27.280 --> 07:32:31.760
Four kills in one second to keep them alive.

07:32:36.560 --> 07:32:41.840
Falcons staying in this game by the skin of their teeth right now.

07:32:42.320 --> 07:32:47.240
Four six, they cannot afford to slip up once.

07:32:47.240 --> 07:32:51.600
FaZe will walk away with the map and the series, if that happens.

07:32:51.600 --> 07:32:54.760
Falcons need to be flawless from here on out.

07:32:54.760 --> 07:33:00.960
These next two rounds, try and cement and overtime and give themselves another opportunity.

07:33:00.960 --> 07:33:05.920
They had an opportunity on Clubhouse, one that they squandered.

07:33:05.920 --> 07:33:11.480
They are not going to be able to afford to do the same again here on Schalem.

07:33:11.480 --> 07:33:19.320
So far, the timeout from Julio has worked, it's picked up a round, but they need to do it again.

07:33:20.600 --> 07:33:28.680
Just the one round. Dust the one round they picked up so far. Two more times, two more defenses,

07:33:30.200 --> 07:33:35.000
six minutes against FaZe with everything on the line.

07:33:35.000 --> 07:33:41.000
We've been down to kitchen and dining, Hawkins.

07:33:41.000 --> 07:33:46.000
We've been committing a decent bit to playing aggressive on these roams, to holding these power positions.

07:33:46.000 --> 07:33:49.000
It's worked on bar games twice. It's been really, really good.

07:33:49.000 --> 07:33:55.000
That's these other sides that have proven tricky, that have proven problematic when FaZe have a bit more room, it seems.

07:33:55.000 --> 07:33:57.000
Maybe to find holes in these defenses.

07:33:57.000 --> 07:34:02.000
ADS now marching over towards Ivy Window.

07:34:02.000 --> 07:34:06.320
window same position but different operator than we saw last time instead him picking up the shield

07:34:08.560 --> 07:34:13.520
we'll be bringing the blackbeard to the party right now some later cams being sent out from

07:34:13.520 --> 07:34:18.240
solotop as well as the last valkyrie camera there just going to go in toward main lobby

07:34:21.520 --> 07:34:27.600
you should do though because space love playing that double window position outside and this time kds

07:34:27.600 --> 07:34:33.600
He's going to be even harder to shift from that spot as he's on the Blackbeard C4 thrown out and shot me there.

07:34:33.600 --> 07:34:37.600
You can pepper that shield all you like, you're not going to get much of a damage onto it.

07:34:37.600 --> 07:34:45.600
Maybe a run out of bathroom could be more successful, but that seems a little bit risky given the stakes right now.

07:34:45.600 --> 07:34:52.600
Saltop just wishing he could win that fight, just wishing he had a better chance against a Blackbeard.

07:34:52.600 --> 07:34:56.600
It's not happening and against an IQ, he's caught you completely off guard. It's not either.

07:34:56.600 --> 07:35:00.600
Cyber 13 and 6 right now up against Falkens.

07:35:00.600 --> 07:35:05.600
Another player will be lured in by the siren song on Ivy window

07:35:05.600 --> 07:35:08.600
and will be just as powerless to do anything about it.

07:35:08.600 --> 07:35:12.600
Lucky Facken stand on the solar side, just sees the head.

07:35:12.600 --> 07:35:15.600
The soul is peeking a little bit but instead sees the feet.

07:35:15.600 --> 07:35:17.600
He goes down.

07:35:17.600 --> 07:35:19.600
Jume as well.

07:35:19.600 --> 07:35:23.600
Uses needing to face a lot of resistance, spots the Blackbeard,

07:35:23.600 --> 07:35:25.020
Turn to the side!

07:35:26.220 --> 07:35:28.600
Uzius has started showing up on these defenses.

07:35:29.360 --> 07:35:32.520
And on this roam, he might just be the only player remaining.

07:35:32.520 --> 07:35:36.060
The good thing about this is Uzius has dealt with the players that are inside of the building right now.

07:35:36.060 --> 07:35:37.900
The rest of FaZe, they're on the periphery.

07:35:37.900 --> 07:35:39.900
They're the ones that were trying to hold these cutoffs.

07:35:39.900 --> 07:35:43.720
We do have Handy at Snow Door. We do have Souls on Solar Repel.

07:35:43.980 --> 07:35:47.300
But we've got to transition. We have to now make a bit more progress.

07:35:47.880 --> 07:35:49.700
Well, Uzius, please get this.

07:35:49.700 --> 07:35:51.800
lands on the head, but just can't land the shot.

07:35:51.800 --> 07:35:53.800
Another attack, and he still falls short.

07:35:56.360 --> 07:36:02.000
And so we come to Breide, who's scuttoned himself back

07:36:02.000 --> 07:36:03.720
into the site.

07:36:03.720 --> 07:36:07.220
One player outside, broke the window.

07:36:07.220 --> 07:36:10.840
Three engagements, and he cannot mess up.

07:36:10.840 --> 07:36:13.760
Krim and Dokobie going for the double swing.

07:36:13.760 --> 07:36:18.880
Breide sees one, gets the shot, but he can't land the next.

07:36:18.880 --> 07:36:22.800
Bays have made corner after corner.

07:36:22.800 --> 07:36:27.320
And unfortunately, pumpkins are just another brick in the wall.

07:36:27.320 --> 07:36:31.960
Bays 2 to 0, clues into the semis.

07:36:31.960 --> 07:36:34.440
They might not have played the most maps here at Salt Lake,

07:36:34.440 --> 07:36:37.680
but they have had the biggest impact so far.

07:36:37.680 --> 07:36:41.000
Bays sailing through here.

07:36:41.000 --> 07:36:43.360
Stage maps is all they have played

07:36:43.360 --> 07:36:46.840
to get to a semifinal spot.

07:36:46.840 --> 07:36:47.840
Almost did now.

07:36:47.840 --> 07:36:49.720
Who are they going up against?

07:36:49.720 --> 07:36:52.280
Well, who are they going up against?

07:36:52.280 --> 07:36:55.080
Seems like it might be an NA team either way,

07:36:55.080 --> 07:36:56.640
given the odds that we have in the bracket.

07:36:56.640 --> 07:36:58.760
And that is not good for us.

07:36:58.760 --> 07:37:00.520
It's the first non-NA team face

07:37:00.520 --> 07:37:01.920
have played so far this tournament.

07:37:01.920 --> 07:37:05.280
And unfortunately, they fall just the same.

07:37:05.280 --> 07:37:06.440
2-0 in the best of ones.

07:37:06.440 --> 07:37:08.480
2-0 in each best of three they've played.

07:37:08.480 --> 07:37:10.040
Barely even any OT maps.

07:37:10.040 --> 07:37:12.200
Just a couple thrown in there.

07:37:12.200 --> 07:37:14.000
Bays continue to impress, continue

07:37:14.000 --> 07:37:16.240
to dominate the opposition.

07:37:16.240 --> 07:37:18.960
Whoever has a date with them in the 70s tomorrow,

07:37:18.960 --> 07:37:22.840
I imagine is taking a big deep breath right now

07:37:22.840 --> 07:37:25.000
because they'll need to get dialed

07:37:25.000 --> 07:37:26.800
and against an opponent like this.

07:37:28.840 --> 07:37:31.920
Faze are inevitable at the moment.

07:37:31.920 --> 07:37:35.320
It wouldn't be a major in our beautiful game

07:37:35.320 --> 07:37:38.320
if they weren't present throughout the course of the weekend.

07:37:39.400 --> 07:37:42.320
Let's throw it over to Ian on the desk.

07:37:42.320 --> 07:37:44.400
He's got KDS ready for a check.

07:37:44.400 --> 07:37:45.600
Thank you very much, X.

07:37:45.600 --> 07:37:56.600
I mean, FaZe Clan put themselves into the semi-finals, you just like clockwork, easy work, you haven't dropped one single math out here.

07:37:56.600 --> 07:37:58.600
How is everything so easy for you?

07:37:58.600 --> 07:38:08.600
I just, we are just playing very well, you know, like, we're very confident and we're watching the communication very well, so I think it's the main thing for us.

07:38:08.600 --> 07:38:09.600
Communication?

07:38:09.600 --> 07:38:10.600
Yes.

07:38:10.600 --> 07:38:19.600
You have been on top for some time now of course. There's no denying that you are the greatest team in the world at the moment, back to back world champions.

07:38:19.600 --> 07:38:25.600
You've never got this done personally KDS, you've never won a major. What would it mean to you to get one on the board?

07:38:25.600 --> 07:38:39.600
I think the star match would be very good for us because we're trying to build something. Only us, we need this major and the AWC.

07:38:39.600 --> 07:38:43.720
are you going to get to the end of this event without dropping a single map and

07:38:43.720 --> 07:38:49.360
then raising that trophy? I don't think so because they're very good teams yet in the

07:38:49.360 --> 07:38:56.400
tournament so I think it would be tough to do only zero map loss but we are finding the

07:38:56.400 --> 07:38:59.600
best and we are going to make it. We're definitely doing a good job so far

07:38:59.600 --> 07:39:03.480
ladies and gentlemen make some noise for FaZe Clan but themselves in the

07:39:03.480 --> 07:39:06.840
semi-final congratulations KDS I'll let you go and join the rest of your team

07:39:06.840 --> 07:39:09.840
We will be back with our final quarter-finals after the break.

07:45:36.840 --> 07:45:46.800
That's the thing about FaZe Clan.

07:45:46.800 --> 07:45:48.600
It doesn't always have to look flashing.

07:45:48.600 --> 07:45:54.600
They don't always need the hero plays, but they are always better than almost everyone

07:45:54.600 --> 07:45:55.600
else.

07:45:55.600 --> 07:45:56.600
They do it every single time.

07:45:56.600 --> 07:46:01.560
They get the win, put themselves over the line, and they are semi-final bound.

07:46:01.560 --> 07:46:02.560
I mean, it's no surprise.

07:46:02.560 --> 07:46:04.400
I mean, you asked who we were going to predict.

07:46:04.400 --> 07:46:09.180
It is a little heartfelt to see the side of the Falcon not be able to get over this hurdle

07:46:09.180 --> 07:46:12.960
But I mean it goes to showcase live base player time world champion

07:46:13.500 --> 07:46:17.960
Consistency has always been key with this roster for a long time coming and again

07:46:17.960 --> 07:46:23.080
It just shines through each and every single time. I mean is there a conversation to be had Falcons, you know

07:46:23.080 --> 07:46:28.120
They gave rid of Shiko they bring in June do they still have the same issues when it comes to main stage maybe but at the end of the

07:46:28.120 --> 07:46:31.480
Today, FaZe really just looked like the two-time champ.

07:46:31.480 --> 07:46:33.480
They were amazing in the way that they were able to find

07:46:33.480 --> 07:46:36.240
their picks outside of the map without risking bodies,

07:46:36.240 --> 07:46:40.680
continuously making sure that every decision is for some type

07:46:40.680 --> 07:46:43.760
of game, to be able to get the defuse down to stall time.

07:46:43.760 --> 07:46:46.080
They played phenomenally well and we talked about it

07:46:46.080 --> 07:46:47.280
at the end of the day.

07:46:47.280 --> 07:46:49.160
Any given map, any given round,

07:46:49.160 --> 07:46:51.480
Cyber can take control and in map two,

07:46:51.480 --> 07:46:53.920
that's exactly what we saw Cyber was so dominant

07:46:53.920 --> 07:46:55.680
on finding those picks.

07:46:55.680 --> 07:46:57.200
Falcons just didn't have an answer.

07:46:57.200 --> 07:46:59.920
There are so many teams we highlight as a triple threat

07:46:59.920 --> 07:47:00.920
or quadruple threat.

07:47:00.920 --> 07:47:04.320
It feels like everyone on FaZe can get the job done,

07:47:04.320 --> 07:47:07.120
whether it's KDS lighting up the scoreboard or it's Handy.

07:47:07.120 --> 07:47:09.640
This is a team that will just knock your socks off.

07:47:09.640 --> 07:47:10.960
I mean, you got to give them a hand, right?

07:47:10.960 --> 07:47:12.320
I mean, 31 and 15.

07:47:12.320 --> 07:47:13.920
I mean, give them an extra hand at that point.

07:47:13.920 --> 07:47:15.240
I mean, 6 and 1 on the entry.

07:47:15.240 --> 07:47:18.120
Again, you can't take any single player on FaZe lightly.

07:47:18.120 --> 07:47:19.680
They all can clutch up at any given moment.

07:47:19.680 --> 07:47:21.240
They all can pop up at any given moment.

07:47:21.240 --> 07:47:25.120
And Handy, two times in a row, back to back as I was the MVP

07:47:25.120 --> 07:47:28.240
for a reason and he never lets us put off the gas.

07:47:28.240 --> 07:47:30.240
I mean, if there's one thing that is always true,

07:47:30.240 --> 07:47:32.520
it's consistency with FaZe, but also with KDS

07:47:32.520 --> 07:47:34.320
is just nonchalantness.

07:47:34.320 --> 07:47:36.360
Well, if there are three best of threes down

07:47:36.360 --> 07:47:38.880
and we got one left, let's give you an updated bracket picture

07:47:38.880 --> 07:47:41.480
to see how this has all shaken out so far.

07:47:41.480 --> 07:47:44.400
And the semi-finals that we have ahead of us,

07:47:44.400 --> 07:47:46.760
Twisted Minds and Shopify Rebellion,

07:47:46.760 --> 07:47:48.800
that is locked in at this point.

07:47:48.800 --> 07:47:53.800
FaZe Clan now await the winner of Dark Zero and Wildcard.

07:47:53.800 --> 07:48:00.980
And that is exactly where we go next in all NA grudge match a matchup that we have seen

07:48:01.600 --> 07:48:07.040
Several times already this year. I mean truly there is nothing like it

07:48:07.040 --> 07:48:10.120
I know people have been waiting for this NA matchup because yes

07:48:10.240 --> 07:48:13.240
It's a bummer that two teams from NA are facing each other

07:48:13.440 --> 07:48:18.120
But as an NA fan it means we're definitely gonna see an NA team in the semi-final

07:48:18.120 --> 07:48:20.120
So don't mind if I do yeah

07:48:20.120 --> 07:48:23.640
I mean of course it goes without saying the NA fans want to be able to see their favorite players

07:48:23.640 --> 07:48:29.880
I mean wild cards look so good internationally, especially with getting hot and cold. Wow. He's got so much left in the tank

07:48:29.880 --> 07:48:33.680
I hope the team picks him up next stage as for the side of dark zero

07:48:33.680 --> 07:48:37.240
They look arguably the best NA team coming into the event

07:48:37.680 --> 07:48:43.160
They are very consistent when it comes to Salt Lake City now. I must speak from a former player side things

07:48:43.160 --> 07:48:44.720
This is the worst case scenarios

07:48:44.720 --> 07:48:52.120
You get to this point and you have to play an interregional match against someone that you were already familiar with and already have played numerous times

07:48:52.120 --> 07:48:57.800
So for the player side of thing that definitely is a little bit of a bum. Well dark zero is a team that wild Carter familiar with

07:48:57.800 --> 07:49:03.000
They're a team that we're familiar with they were called SSG last year at least the core of this roster

07:49:03.000 --> 07:49:09.120
You throw Kino you throw NJR into the mix and Fox we have seen just how lethal this team can be

07:49:09.280 --> 07:49:13.640
Everybody on the roster is performing so well with getting that versatility of Kino and NJR

07:49:13.640 --> 07:49:17.720
the core SSG players all connecting on dark zero they've been phenomenal

07:49:17.720 --> 07:49:23.540
I mean they look so ahead of the meta when it comes to innovating finding new ways to play being proactive off of each other

07:49:23.540 --> 07:49:27.960
And also just having fun. We always talk about this team call out this synergy the mental

07:49:28.280 --> 07:49:31.120
Mental fortitude that he brings to the team making sure everyone's playing together

07:49:31.240 --> 07:49:36.480
They respect him they respect his call the more importantly folds inside of the server and we seem fold

07:49:36.480 --> 07:49:41.360
Yeah, just continuously dominate this event players that we haven't talked about that much in the previous year

07:49:41.360 --> 07:49:48.040
They're showing up now again, and he's turning back the clock just due to the fact that they did bring on support players like Kino like NJR

07:49:48.040 --> 07:49:52.240
I mean again, it's paying dividends for this roster the most structure we've seen from this team

07:49:52.240 --> 07:49:55.320
Well, there's a lot of pieces to this DZ puzzle that make them successful

07:49:55.320 --> 07:49:59.840
But NJR has been the one up and above the rest so far through SLC

07:49:59.840 --> 07:50:02.820
I mean, he's the best player in the tournament so far coming into the day

07:50:02.820 --> 07:50:07.560
Obviously stats have been inflated now that they haven't had a chance to play but he's so consistent

07:50:07.560 --> 07:50:11.200
They've really found the mark on where NJR needs to be for the team.

07:50:11.200 --> 07:50:12.360
Because he's always been that player.

07:50:12.360 --> 07:50:13.360
He locks down a position.

07:50:13.360 --> 07:50:14.600
He locks down an angle.

07:50:14.600 --> 07:50:17.240
He's so difficult to get him out of those holes.

07:50:17.240 --> 07:50:19.360
And DarkZero have done a great job

07:50:19.360 --> 07:50:21.640
of being able to put him exactly where he needs to be.

07:50:21.640 --> 07:50:23.120
And he's a century turn at that point.

07:50:23.120 --> 07:50:24.160
He does not miss.

07:50:24.160 --> 07:50:25.560
And that's what we're seeing now.

07:50:25.560 --> 07:50:27.880
Well, the big challenge here for Wildcard,

07:50:27.880 --> 07:50:32.320
their opponents today, has been navigating some roster problems.

07:50:32.320 --> 07:50:33.720
They lose Adrian.

07:50:33.720 --> 07:50:36.480
And who do they find to replace him?

07:50:36.480 --> 07:50:41.920
than hot and cold and that is what this whole arc has turned into the hot and

07:50:41.920 --> 07:50:48.540
cold revenge tour dropped by M80 comes to Salt Lake City and so far he has been

07:50:48.540 --> 07:50:51.960
a monster. I was hoping you could say he's been hot but we did highlight him

07:50:51.960 --> 07:50:54.960
being on the monster he's the reason why Wildcard is here he sent them here off

07:50:54.960 --> 07:50:57.920
that tremendous clutch throughout that series but again when you look at the

07:50:57.920 --> 07:51:01.480
Wildcard roster as a whole I mean it's filled and comprised of phenomenal

07:51:01.480 --> 07:51:05.040
players I mean ever since they came in during reload they have made every single

07:51:05.040 --> 07:51:07.720
main stage since then so you can't discredit the rest of the players they're

07:51:07.720 --> 07:51:10.160
all performing exceptionally well and if you're gonna pick up someone in

07:51:10.160 --> 07:51:14.160
replace of Adrian who better than Han Calden he's absolutely been performing but

07:51:14.160 --> 07:51:17.640
again now you're playing inter regionally now you're playing against

07:51:17.640 --> 07:51:21.360
Archie you did just recently lose to them in the Swiss stage so there is a

07:51:21.360 --> 07:51:25.880
little bit of grief there but I know they want to fight right back and get

07:51:25.880 --> 07:51:29.800
that win well they've had to fight to get here it's been a heck of a road

07:51:29.800 --> 07:51:33.840
through the Swiss they have had a very tough schedule lacks I mean you look at

07:51:33.840 --> 07:51:42.840
They had to brawl too, but when you look at the strength of schedule, I feel for Wildcard, they got here despite having some very difficult opponents to face.

07:51:42.840 --> 07:51:48.840
And I would say, and I would argue in this situation that you want that kind of road leading up until this point because then you can refine your skills.

07:51:48.840 --> 07:51:56.840
So once you get to the main stage, everything should be concrete at that point. There shouldn't be any room for errors. There shouldn't be room for mistakes.

07:51:56.840 --> 07:52:03.020
You shouldn't have to say what is you should be as concrete as you possibly can and as structured going into this

07:52:03.020 --> 07:52:07.860
Especially again, you know where you went wrong against easy in the most recent matchup

07:52:07.860 --> 07:52:11.900
Well exactly the elephant in the room here is that these two teams their NA rivals

07:52:11.900 --> 07:52:15.000
They've played not only several times throughout kickoff leading up to this

07:52:15.000 --> 07:52:18.300
But just a few days ago here in Salt Lake City

07:52:18.300 --> 07:52:23.540
Let's start with kickoff and see how that broke down exactly Fox because these teams they are rivals

07:52:23.540 --> 07:52:26.780
They played quite a few times in kickoff playoffs.

07:52:26.780 --> 07:52:28.740
It was Wildcard who took the win.

07:52:28.740 --> 07:52:29.780
It was a very close match.

07:52:29.780 --> 07:52:32.020
As you can see, Labs, Clubhouse,

07:52:32.020 --> 07:52:35.060
very nail-biter of a game, really pushed the distance.

07:52:35.060 --> 07:52:36.780
But now we find ourselves in a situation

07:52:36.780 --> 07:52:39.380
where Dark Zero's not just going to let this go to waste.

07:52:39.380 --> 07:52:41.380
They're going to use it, try to improve themselves.

07:52:41.380 --> 07:52:43.660
And that's what makes their win during this event

07:52:43.660 --> 07:52:45.260
so much more dominant is the fact

07:52:45.260 --> 07:52:48.820
that they ego-pick Labs and Clubhouse exactly where

07:52:48.820 --> 07:52:51.620
they want to take them and absolutely shut Wildcard down.

07:52:51.620 --> 07:52:53.420
And again, if we can just quickly transition back

07:52:53.420 --> 07:52:55.980
So people can really see the stats on the side of Wildcard.

07:52:55.980 --> 07:52:59.300
How different it is, granted there was a third map added.

07:52:59.300 --> 07:53:02.260
But you can clearly see, from one game to the next,

07:53:02.260 --> 07:53:04.220
whether it was kickoff or here, not everyone

07:53:04.220 --> 07:53:06.580
has been on the same page, the same chapter, the same book.

07:53:06.580 --> 07:53:07.580
That is going to be the only thing.

07:53:07.580 --> 07:53:08.900
I mean, forget the script at this point.

07:53:08.900 --> 07:53:10.300
I'm going to focus on being a player.

07:53:10.300 --> 07:53:13.820
You need to come into this series mentally there, ready,

07:53:13.820 --> 07:53:14.900
even on the coaching staff.

07:53:14.900 --> 07:53:16.720
Don't just call time out just because you're

07:53:16.720 --> 07:53:18.220
calling the time out to reset everyone.

07:53:18.220 --> 07:53:19.420
It needs to be with a purpose.

07:53:19.420 --> 07:53:22.500
And for everyone to be there, coming in with a purpose,

07:53:22.500 --> 07:53:24.840
because that is the only way you're going to get through this series

07:53:24.840 --> 07:53:27.040
is understanding that you need to be able to depth,

07:53:27.040 --> 07:53:29.600
you need to be able to recognize the flaws that DC has

07:53:29.600 --> 07:53:30.560
and how you can exploit it,

07:53:30.560 --> 07:53:33.280
and especially when you lose the way that they did against ArcZero,

07:53:33.280 --> 07:53:36.200
you are going to extrapolate a lot more from that loss

07:53:36.200 --> 07:53:39.040
than DarkZero just having a really good day and getting that win over them.

07:53:39.040 --> 07:53:41.160
Well, Fox talked to me about the maps here, as we said.

07:53:41.160 --> 07:53:43.260
It's going to be vitally important because these teams

07:53:43.260 --> 07:53:45.840
have been jockeying for position, playing against each other,

07:53:45.840 --> 07:53:46.680
where we headed to tonight.

07:53:46.680 --> 07:53:47.800
I mean, if we've seen anything,

07:53:47.800 --> 07:53:50.120
probably don't take DarkZero to Clubhouse or Labs,

07:53:50.120 --> 07:53:52.820
which is heavily going to decrease Wildcarts chances

07:53:52.820 --> 07:53:54.820
because those are great maps for them.

07:53:54.820 --> 07:53:56.900
DarkZero's picking out Clubhouse right away.

07:53:56.900 --> 07:53:58.100
I mean, we just talked about it.

07:53:58.100 --> 07:54:00.660
They dominated them 7-3 when it came into the tournament.

07:54:00.660 --> 07:54:02.140
Yes, they've had a little bit of time,

07:54:02.140 --> 07:54:03.060
but that's the biggest fear.

07:54:03.060 --> 07:54:04.340
It really doesn't come down to the maps.

07:54:04.340 --> 07:54:05.440
It's at the end of the day,

07:54:05.440 --> 07:54:07.180
Wildcart is playing with a standing

07:54:07.180 --> 07:54:10.340
and as smart as Han Kolt is, as versatile as he is,

07:54:10.340 --> 07:54:12.700
at the end of the day, it feels like that rope,

07:54:12.700 --> 07:54:14.340
there's only so much of it left.

07:54:14.340 --> 07:54:16.280
I agree, but I will say, when push comes to shove,

07:54:16.280 --> 07:54:18.680
that is the nice caveat of having Han Kolt

07:54:18.680 --> 07:54:21.740
is he can bring a different idea, a different ideology

07:54:21.740 --> 07:54:23.660
coming into this match, especially where we've

07:54:23.660 --> 07:54:25.740
seen time and time again, when wildcards backs

07:54:25.740 --> 07:54:26.500
are against the wall.

07:54:26.500 --> 07:54:27.900
That's when they manage to persevere.

07:54:27.900 --> 07:54:30.900
That's when they manage to come together and make magic happen.

07:54:30.900 --> 07:54:33.020
And again, you add that little bit of added layer

07:54:33.020 --> 07:54:35.660
from Han Kold, from his eye yelling on MAD.

07:54:35.660 --> 07:54:37.100
They maybe can take something, which

07:54:37.100 --> 07:54:40.420
is why they chose into boarder, knowing that DZ hasn't had

07:54:40.420 --> 07:54:41.060
a lot of success.

07:54:41.060 --> 07:54:42.480
They're 0-2-1 to lose in a shopfire,

07:54:42.480 --> 07:54:43.500
barely twice on it.

07:54:43.500 --> 07:54:46.140
I have no doubt they're going to find success on their maps.

07:54:46.140 --> 07:54:48.420
And then we get to that cafe, which, honestly, for me,

07:54:48.420 --> 07:54:53.020
That's a little bit of toss-up because that is one of Darkseals, if not their best map.

07:54:53.020 --> 07:54:56.480
Well, we've talked a lot about what players do to get ready for matches today.

07:54:56.480 --> 07:54:58.360
I can tell you what Hot and Cold was doing.

07:54:58.360 --> 07:55:01.480
He was watching Ambie pop off earlier.

07:55:01.480 --> 07:55:03.120
He had a tweet to say about it.

07:55:03.120 --> 07:55:07.200
It's nice watching Ambie drop 20 kills on other teams.

07:55:07.200 --> 07:55:09.960
I've had to deal with missing majors because of this guy.

07:55:09.960 --> 07:55:13.840
I mean, that is what he was doing, busy studying up on the competition.

07:55:13.840 --> 07:55:15.480
I mean, I'm sure you guys know.

07:55:15.480 --> 07:55:19.320
It's nice to see things like that not happening to you.

07:55:19.320 --> 07:55:20.160
Yeah, of course.

07:55:20.160 --> 07:55:22.440
It's amazing to see your rival in a way

07:55:22.440 --> 07:55:24.080
be able to dominate another team.

07:55:24.080 --> 07:55:26.800
But saying that and then realizing that you

07:55:26.800 --> 07:55:29.360
have to play another NA team as well, like you said,

07:55:29.360 --> 07:55:31.000
that's the worst situation for an NA team.

07:55:31.000 --> 07:55:34.320
Because everyone knows the little intro details that you do.

07:55:34.320 --> 07:55:36.920
It really comes down to just who's adapting on the day.

07:55:36.920 --> 07:55:39.520
Well, who do you think can adapt on the day?

07:55:39.520 --> 07:55:43.840
It's gone both ways so far in the last few weeks.

07:55:43.840 --> 07:55:45.200
It's a hard one to predict.

07:55:45.200 --> 07:55:51.060
I mean, for me, like I said, Wildcard's playing with a substitute, dark zero, Neur's parents

07:55:51.060 --> 07:55:53.300
are in the crowd, Chino's parents are in the crowd.

07:55:53.300 --> 07:55:55.380
I gotta give it to dark zero.

07:55:55.380 --> 07:56:00.380
I gotta say Wildcard, you got Han Kul's parents in the crowd, I believe, or his mom in the

07:56:00.380 --> 07:56:01.820
crowd, and you have to support it.

07:56:01.820 --> 07:56:04.860
I mean, I believe everyone is supporting Wildcard, right?

07:56:04.860 --> 07:56:09.500
I mean, all right, so I mean, I'd have to go with Wildcard just because of what we've

07:56:09.500 --> 07:56:13.060
seen them consistently throughout all of these SDR events.

07:56:13.060 --> 07:56:19.140
storyline is amazing with the hot and cold revenge arc. We have seen this before with him,

07:56:19.140 --> 07:56:26.020
right? Discarded, essentially, from a team. Chip on his shoulder comes back and dominates. I mean,

07:56:26.020 --> 07:56:29.940
we are well on our way to something very similar. I mean, he's done it so many times. He did it with

07:56:29.940 --> 07:56:35.380
Unwanted in Boston. I believe they got to top four, and then he did it with Beast Coast. He

07:56:35.380 --> 07:56:40.660
was able to make the Beast Coast roster of these one two events. So at the end of the day, I mean,

07:56:40.660 --> 07:56:42.460
I mean, what can't Han Cole do?

07:56:42.460 --> 07:56:43.960
At this point, it's still a head

07:56:43.960 --> 07:56:45.460
scratcher to me on why Han Cole

07:56:45.460 --> 07:56:47.460
was dropped in the first place.

07:56:47.460 --> 07:56:48.560
We may never know.

07:56:48.560 --> 07:56:49.860
Maybe we don't get into that now,

07:56:49.860 --> 07:56:51.260
but what we can get into a little more

07:56:51.260 --> 07:56:53.360
lacks is talking about the dynamic

07:56:53.360 --> 07:56:54.960
that that might lead to on Wildcard.

07:56:54.960 --> 07:56:58.460
I mean, you have a very good IGL in Spiker.

07:56:58.460 --> 07:57:00.460
He's a fragger and IGL a leader.

07:57:00.460 --> 07:57:01.860
He's been that way for a while,

07:57:01.860 --> 07:57:03.660
but you bring in another big voice,

07:57:03.660 --> 07:57:04.660
another IGL.

07:57:04.660 --> 07:57:06.660
How do you manage that dynamic?

07:57:06.660 --> 07:57:07.560
I think that's the important thing.

07:57:07.560 --> 07:57:09.160
I think you are going to obviously give

07:57:09.160 --> 07:57:14.880
Biker the reins it is his team it is wild cards roster, but it's adding that little added leverage with hot and cold

07:57:14.880 --> 07:57:20.080
Where he might see something or he can give another idea different process for us talking about the different ideologies

07:57:20.080 --> 07:57:22.440
Obviously coming from 80 he still has a strap of the mind

07:57:22.440 --> 07:57:26.240
He knows how they deal with these teams and that's the beauty of playing an interregional team like dark zero

07:57:26.240 --> 07:57:31.440
We can take something that they were doing very well against m80 and use that here against our team and add it on

07:57:31.600 --> 07:57:37.320
To an even depth further their strategy going into this match exactly and I think that's what we're seeing border to come out map

07:57:37.320 --> 07:57:42.360
It's not really a map that I would say is a wild card map but Han cold coming over from a man M80

07:57:42.360 --> 07:57:44.480
He doesn't have a reason to necessarily hide strats

07:57:44.480 --> 07:57:49.760
He can bring a lot of new ideas to and that's why I think it's a good map for them to pick against dark zero

07:57:49.760 --> 07:57:55.720
So they're going to it with hopefully some new strategy. We can't talk about dark zero without highlighting their coaching prowess

07:57:55.720 --> 07:57:59.760
This was always something we highlighted when they were on SSG call out is still here

07:57:59.760 --> 07:58:05.280
He goes toe-to-toe and essentially a coaching matchup with Ligonus here during that halftime break

07:58:05.280 --> 07:58:09.120
It's going to be fascinating to hear like what exactly they're communicating to their player.

07:58:09.120 --> 07:58:12.480
I mean every single time we've heard those interviews I mean both I mean interviews those

07:58:12.480 --> 07:58:16.880
timeouts both coaches do a very good job at pinpointing certain situations and how to get

07:58:16.880 --> 07:58:21.440
everyone focused on the one goal and get everyone feeding in that information. I mean it's really

07:58:21.440 --> 07:58:25.440
hard to say now if you're looking at longevity wise I'd say the bonus on wildcard has found more

07:58:25.440 --> 07:58:29.680
success with this team just based off their placing so far at these events but when you just look at

07:58:29.680 --> 07:58:33.920
the culture and dynamic that we've always highlighted back on that SSG now dark zero

07:58:33.920 --> 07:58:41.920
That culture, that brotherhood, stands next to none in the entire region of the world, across the world in terms of the professional scene.

07:58:41.920 --> 07:58:47.420
Now I can't speak for a little bonus, but, um, Dark Zero's practice room's right next to my hotel room,

07:58:47.420 --> 07:58:49.420
but I got to see them a good amount, and every home...

07:58:49.420 --> 07:58:50.420
You didn't get sleep either.

07:58:50.420 --> 07:58:54.920
No, not out too much, but every single time that they're practicing, or even if the players are relaxing,

07:58:54.920 --> 07:59:01.920
call out is just always working, always figuring out counter-straps, always bottom-viewing, making sure that everything is figured out.

07:59:01.920 --> 07:59:17.920
out and obviously I mean it goes without saying their energy that they bring to the table I mean I was asking them if there was anything they wanted me to say on the desk for them and it was just that new Drake album was coming out that was about it they're bumping that getting ready for the match that's that's their key point well it is time for our last quarter

07:59:17.920 --> 07:59:23.320
final of the day. It is an NA grudge match, so we're going to turn down the lights. We're

07:59:23.320 --> 07:59:31.440
going to get loud here in Salt Lake City as Dark Zero and Wild Guard go toe to toe.

07:59:31.440 --> 07:59:40.520
Here's a fart on this Friday as the lights go out once again. We've seen some teams

07:59:40.520 --> 07:59:47.040
emerge from the darkness, Victorious, and others crumble beneath the pressure. We've

07:59:47.040 --> 07:59:54.640
We've got one more quarter-final to play, and it is an all-American affair.

07:59:54.640 --> 07:59:56.640
Let's bring out our first team.

08:00:17.040 --> 08:00:42.320
Welcome Dark Zero!

08:00:42.320 --> 08:00:49.360
The rebuilt North American cart and early swiss stumbles into a statement run,

08:00:49.360 --> 08:00:54.880
proving their new identity is battle tested and dangerous.

08:00:54.880 --> 08:01:01.240
They are locked in and ready to remind everyone why veterans still own the big moments.

08:01:06.480 --> 08:01:08.720
Let's welcome their opponents.

08:01:42.320 --> 08:01:52.320
Wildcard came in!

08:01:52.320 --> 08:01:59.320
The ultimate granders who clawed their way here.

08:01:59.320 --> 08:02:03.320
Cure North American resilience on full display.

08:02:03.320 --> 08:02:06.320
No one handed them this stage.

08:02:06.320 --> 08:02:11.320
They earned every seat they're about to take.

08:02:11.320 --> 08:02:40.320
All right.

08:02:40.320 --> 08:02:46.320
Standing by with Fultz and Spiker, first things first, this is a rare occasion.

08:02:46.320 --> 08:02:51.320
All-American quarter-final in North America. Let these guys hear you!

08:02:57.320 --> 08:03:01.320
I know that you guys love to talk shit sometimes.

08:03:01.320 --> 08:03:04.320
Can we get some final words for one another?

08:03:04.320 --> 08:03:08.320
Uh, I'm gonna let the servers do the talking. I got nothing.

08:03:08.320 --> 08:03:10.320
What do you think, Spikeya?

08:03:10.320 --> 08:03:13.320
We owned them all last year, and we're gonna get back to that today.

08:03:13.320 --> 08:03:15.320
Any final words?

08:03:15.320 --> 08:03:16.320
What do you say?

08:03:16.320 --> 08:03:17.320
Say it again?

08:03:17.320 --> 08:03:21.320
We owned you guys all of last year, and we're gonna do it again.

08:03:24.320 --> 08:03:25.320
0-2.

08:03:25.320 --> 08:03:27.320
Okay!

08:03:27.320 --> 08:03:29.320
Can we get a handshake, guys?

08:03:29.320 --> 08:03:31.320
Go and take your seats.

08:03:31.320 --> 08:03:33.320
I am so ready for this.

08:03:33.320 --> 08:03:36.320
Salt Lake City, are we ready?

08:03:38.320 --> 08:03:46.440
I'd say who's ready? We've got Parker, we've got Jesse and a very special guest for this one.

08:03:48.160 --> 08:03:54.360
Thank you so very much Ian. We've got an all-American duel, so why not bring in some North Americans?

08:03:54.360 --> 08:04:01.080
And who knows ball better than the guy who coached the last American team to victory on American soil?

08:04:01.080 --> 08:04:03.080
Are you excited to hear Min talk?

08:04:03.080 --> 08:04:09.960
You were a little worried. I was a little worried and I still am a little scared. Can't

08:04:09.960 --> 08:04:13.000
believe I didn't say yes to doing this. I'm not going to lie. But at the same time, how

08:04:13.000 --> 08:04:17.720
could I pass up a chance to 8 BZ and do a little bit of BZ hatewashing at the same time?

08:04:17.720 --> 08:04:21.440
Root on my best friend. 10 years hot and cold. I think he's the people's champion.

08:04:21.440 --> 08:04:27.120
Are we not rooting for hot and cold? Always good to get things started with some bias.

08:04:27.120 --> 08:04:31.000
Right. That's asking. You're going right. I mean, why not? We've got such an amazing

08:04:31.000 --> 08:04:36.120
matchup in front of us dark zero and wild card two organizations who go back years in

08:04:36.120 --> 08:04:40.120
North American history and of course he had DZ kind of have that head-to-head matchup

08:04:40.120 --> 08:04:44.480
but it's a brand new core for dark zero and these wild card guys you heard spiker said

08:04:44.480 --> 08:04:49.720
it were dominated all year long last year so this is the moment now to prove exactly

08:04:49.720 --> 08:04:53.560
who's on top wild card's been a very interesting story right because over the last calendar

08:04:53.560 --> 08:04:57.920
year they have been one of the most consistent teams in North America but also the world

08:04:57.920 --> 08:05:02.600
Yeah, and unfortunately they were knocked a bit of stride with Adrian being unable to play now

08:05:02.900 --> 08:05:05.900
Obviously there was a little bit of draw line balding hot and cold

08:05:05.900 --> 08:05:08.260
I think that's fair to say and what a resurgence

08:05:08.260 --> 08:05:10.260
It's been for him as he stepped on to this team

08:05:10.340 --> 08:05:16.840
But while he has been under the microscope so strongly do not discredit the other four players on this team

08:05:17.000 --> 08:05:22.000
Nor their coach of Lagonas. It is not the hot and cold show in fact

08:05:22.200 --> 08:05:27.580
It has been the bay and baby shark show for this wild card team

08:05:27.920 --> 08:05:32.160
Yes, you need hot and cold to show up, but a baby shark and they have bad days today.

08:05:32.160 --> 08:05:36.240
Foltson's prediction of an O2 might actually come to pass.

08:05:36.240 --> 08:05:39.400
Yeah, and I think that's kind of been the problem in the matchups that they've had against them.

08:05:39.400 --> 08:05:43.280
This baby shark has not really been showing up against DarkZero.

08:05:43.280 --> 08:05:46.320
He's kind of their X factor. He's X factor for this match 100%.

08:05:46.320 --> 08:05:49.320
Internationally, I think he's their best performing player at the moment at this tournament.

08:05:49.320 --> 08:05:53.680
But for some reason, when they play against these NA teams, it's like they have him figured out.

08:05:53.680 --> 08:05:57.560
He struggles regionally, but we'll have to see if he can kind of show up here.

08:05:57.560 --> 08:06:00.440
Yeah, well that's been the story for Wildcard all year long, right?

08:06:00.440 --> 08:06:04.520
Sure, internationally, we've seen them go on deep run after deep run after deep run,

08:06:04.520 --> 08:06:07.800
but consistently, domestically, they haven't shown that same play.

08:06:07.800 --> 08:06:11.800
So we've got a little bit of an interesting situation where sometimes,

08:06:11.800 --> 08:06:14.920
you know, it's not exactly what we had come to expect from Wildcard.

08:06:14.920 --> 08:06:16.840
Haughton Gold's mother, everybody.

08:06:16.840 --> 08:06:18.120
Cheering for her son.

08:06:19.240 --> 08:06:20.360
We love them all, Buck.

08:06:22.920 --> 08:06:24.200
All the way from SoCal.

08:06:24.200 --> 08:06:25.320
Congratulations, Haughton.

08:06:25.320 --> 08:06:29.100
I know he's been waiting a long time to have his family here rooting him on in the crowd

08:06:29.100 --> 08:06:33.080
And that's got to be a huge moment to play under these lights with family in the building

08:06:33.080 --> 08:06:34.880
Well, let's get things underway

08:06:34.880 --> 08:06:37.480
We know it's been a long day for most of you here

08:06:37.480 --> 08:06:43.800
Which of these teams will be our second North American squad to make it to tomorrow?

08:06:44.200 --> 08:06:49.960
Dark zero the favorites on social media, but the crowd here seems to be behind wild card

08:06:49.960 --> 08:06:53.320
Will there be any difference? Do we think it's enough?

08:06:53.320 --> 08:06:56.760
Who has the edge on map one of Clubhouse?

08:06:56.760 --> 08:06:59.560
Barber, it's going to all come down to what gets shown in the server.

08:06:59.560 --> 08:07:02.840
This is a map. These two teams have played many times before,

08:07:02.840 --> 08:07:05.720
and as we jump into the operator bands, we know what to expect.

08:07:05.720 --> 08:07:08.840
Kaid and Bandit, the most commonly banned operators here for the defense.

08:07:08.840 --> 08:07:10.680
A Capitao starts for the offense.

08:07:10.680 --> 08:07:12.760
Mint, what are we expecting of these off-bands?

08:07:12.760 --> 08:07:16.200
I mean, yeah, 100% it should be a Cade-banded band or a Mirror-band.

08:07:16.200 --> 08:07:19.000
You're usually going to be talking the wall denial.

08:07:19.000 --> 08:07:22.160
Do you see what's going to get put out here?

08:07:22.160 --> 08:07:24.520
So there is that bandit and there is that ace.

08:07:24.520 --> 08:07:26.800
We are going to see the mirror on the wall, but Habana's up.

08:07:26.800 --> 08:07:30.800
So I mean, they should have no problem getting the walls open.

08:07:30.800 --> 08:07:33.760
Are you a fan of the Keene body?

08:07:33.760 --> 08:07:34.560
I did see that tweet.

08:07:34.560 --> 08:07:35.280
Is there any reference?

08:07:35.280 --> 08:07:36.160
You didn't answer.

08:07:36.160 --> 08:07:36.840
Yeah.

08:07:36.840 --> 08:07:37.960
I did not answer.

08:07:37.960 --> 08:07:41.280
I didn't want to talk about what I was saying.

08:07:41.280 --> 08:07:43.480
He did talk about this Keene bandit band.

08:07:43.480 --> 08:07:45.520
We know that there is a casual aspect of this community

08:07:45.520 --> 08:07:48.280
who watches these shows brought about by all of the co-streamers

08:07:48.280 --> 08:07:52.920
And in fact, we've actually ripped you away from your coastfaming machine to join us so sad

08:07:52.920 --> 08:07:55.000
I mean shout out to George and Macy holding them before

08:08:00.760 --> 08:08:05.240
We're getting set up here on the very first round. What's your expectation here? You know Paul

08:08:05.440 --> 08:08:10.440
We're not gonna ask you to make a prediction, but yeah, if you had to do me first question

08:08:10.440 --> 08:08:12.440
Do you think we go all three maps? I

08:08:12.760 --> 08:08:18.240
Like to say we do I'd like to say we're gonna get a really good game between these two that baby shark is gonna show up

08:08:18.280 --> 08:08:21.640
hot cold the other dog story we're gonna pull her through but you know I'm

08:08:21.640 --> 08:08:25.800
expecting a quick little 2-0 for Wildcard man 2-0 Wildcard

08:08:25.800 --> 08:08:27.800
I don't want that

08:08:27.800 --> 08:08:29.800
I think

08:08:29.800 --> 08:08:33.320
okay well we'll have to see how it comes through of course these two teams

08:08:33.320 --> 08:08:36.640
extremely familiar with each other not just in the matches that they've played

08:08:36.640 --> 08:08:40.240
over the last couple of weeks as the death broke down but also in the scrims

08:08:40.240 --> 08:08:42.760
we've heard interviews from these players over the last couple of days

08:08:42.760 --> 08:08:45.800
talking about that the fact that they are scrim partners they played a lot

08:08:45.800 --> 08:08:49.760
against each other on stream but also off stream as well so it's going to be

08:08:49.760 --> 08:08:53.080
really coming down to these players finding ways to adapt finding new ways

08:08:53.080 --> 08:08:54.880
to surprise their opponents.

08:08:54.880 --> 08:08:57.160
Sometimes that can be kind of hard isn't it Vince?

08:08:57.160 --> 08:08:58.280
Yeah this is one of those

08:08:58.280 --> 08:09:02.720
straps actually that DZ is kind of famous for. They have NJRs with Pachanka, they have the

08:09:02.720 --> 08:09:06.920
Raptor wall double reinforced and if they go to that garage table they see that Pachanka

08:09:06.920 --> 08:09:10.880
fires come out over the top. Now this caught Wildcard by surprise when the last

08:09:10.880 --> 08:09:14.360
time they played but they're now well prepped they have Habana, they have the

08:09:14.360 --> 08:09:17.560
range breach they have hot and cold on the demo second track that the truck but

08:09:17.560 --> 08:09:20.120
we do see a flip coming yeah it does look like they're gonna go for the

08:09:20.120 --> 08:09:23.560
master side over so that is all me kind of rafters position probably won't see a

08:09:23.560 --> 08:09:27.000
lot of presence early on in this matchup maybe late depending on how this

08:09:27.000 --> 08:09:30.520
round kind of plays out but we're expecting kind of a full over clear from

08:09:30.520 --> 08:09:33.880
wild card right we're seeing these players over on the roam game Kino in

08:09:33.880 --> 08:09:37.280
particular the most extended player on dark zero he has to be good in the

08:09:37.280 --> 08:09:41.680
early round survey these walls that have been opened up now by the hard breach on

08:09:41.680 --> 08:09:45.720
the side of dark zero talked about when that kait and band and band came in that

08:09:45.720 --> 08:09:49.520
the walls will get open very quickly a good pace so far from wild card another

08:09:49.520 --> 08:09:54.160
thing you referenced Kyle yeah that's how wild card would be this is this is

08:09:54.160 --> 08:09:59.080
two gray rosters it's also a coaching showdown callout and lagonas receiving

08:09:59.080 --> 08:10:02.920
praise from all regions for what they're able to do for their team yeah and this

08:10:02.920 --> 08:10:05.520
seems like again like a look good as perfectly they're trying to pull them

08:10:05.520 --> 08:10:08.640
onto the side of the garage you see hot and cold actually on the tub side right

08:10:08.640 --> 08:10:12.640
He's waiting for Kina to get pulled, Engel yard to get pulled back to the other side.

08:10:12.640 --> 08:10:16.640
They're gonna drop highway windows here and they're gonna get a lot of intel with that snake utility.

08:10:16.640 --> 08:10:19.640
The Hotten Cold's still lurking. Should see his gunplay happening soon.

08:10:19.640 --> 08:10:23.640
And there's a logic one to go off. Two kills for Dark Zero, baby shark on the board.

08:10:23.640 --> 08:10:25.640
Full from monster takes down two.

08:10:25.640 --> 08:10:31.640
Suddenly it's the man of the hour in a 1v4, a potentially hopeless situation.

08:10:31.640 --> 08:10:34.640
One minute to go and Hotten might just go for the reset here.

08:10:34.640 --> 08:10:37.640
I think he's well aware of the stakes and how nigh unwinnable this position is.

08:10:37.640 --> 08:10:40.840
This position is so long, that Stark Zero doesn't throw their brains out.

08:10:41.160 --> 08:10:45.640
Hot and cold is the most clutches of any player in Salt Lake City 5 so far coming into this game.

08:10:45.640 --> 08:10:50.440
So if anyone can do it, it should be Matt, but this is a really tough spot 1v4.

08:10:52.760 --> 08:10:55.560
Yeah, I mean, this point you just gotta find anything you can.

08:10:55.560 --> 08:10:58.680
They've got some Demos utility, but they know he's gonna be underneath and lounge.

08:10:59.480 --> 08:11:03.240
You're really just kind of hoping that DZ is gonna like throw around and go for some peeks,

08:11:03.240 --> 08:11:05.800
but they're well disciplined, they're well coached, and they're call out.

08:11:05.800 --> 08:11:08.920
Expect them to just kind of sit in sight right there. They're a very good defensive team.

08:11:08.920 --> 08:11:12.840
Double the time left, only 20 seconds. So Hot and Cold just waiting things out.

08:11:13.720 --> 08:11:18.280
He's been very vocal on this team. Spiker of course doing the lion share of the calling.

08:11:19.480 --> 08:11:23.000
He might be able to take this time to reset and think about what comes next in the next round

08:11:23.000 --> 08:11:27.000
because there's no universe in which Hot and Cold pulls this off. Discipline the absolute

08:11:27.000 --> 08:11:30.440
word. You describe this Dark Zero defense and they'll take round number one.

08:11:31.000 --> 08:11:35.640
Really simple stuff coming out from Dark Zero right. Solid anchor play from Hot and Cold.

08:11:35.640 --> 08:11:39.980
It felt like a little bit maybe a little bit timid on the wild card side

08:11:39.980 --> 08:11:41.700
They didn't get a lot of map control early

08:11:41.700 --> 08:11:43.540
Of course, they weren't focused on the rafter side

08:11:43.540 --> 08:11:48.060
But it took them a really long time even to engage with that roam game on the master side

08:11:48.060 --> 08:11:51.540
Are we worried at all about nerves on a stage like this for wild card?

08:11:51.620 --> 08:11:52.740
Yeah, I wouldn't say nerves

08:11:52.740 --> 08:11:54.900
But I do think it's just going off a prep again

08:11:54.900 --> 08:11:58.500
They're not trying to give away their take you seeing a lot of them sitting on the roof for the first like a minute

08:11:58.500 --> 08:12:03.460
Yeah, I'm trying to pull dark zero onto one side not just try to be super predictable in their attacks

08:12:03.460 --> 08:12:06.900
and I think that's just, it kind of goes into Lagunas' way of thinking.

08:12:06.900 --> 08:12:12.340
So, bottom floor bomb site up next.

08:12:12.340 --> 08:12:17.220
Not abnormal to see a team head downstairs, but we do tend to see them go one side up-site,

08:12:17.220 --> 08:12:20.100
upstairs, then immediately jump over to the next one.

08:12:20.100 --> 08:12:22.020
Mr. Major winning kill.

08:12:22.020 --> 08:12:26.100
Why have been that rotation and instead skewed down to the bottom floor?

08:12:26.100 --> 08:12:28.580
I mean, bottom floor is really good, especially when you have a roam coming out here.

08:12:28.580 --> 08:12:30.340
We're going to have newers on the visual.

08:12:30.340 --> 08:12:33.980
Wildcarts I think statistically been one of the worst attacking teams this event

08:12:33.980 --> 08:12:38.220
Which is just something that's gonna happen when you have a new player into the roster hot and cold as good as he is

08:12:38.580 --> 08:12:42.060
You know, he's an IGL he's gonna play a little bit differently than Adrian

08:12:42.060 --> 08:12:47.020
So it's gonna take some kind of figuring out and then here's DZ. They're gonna play a David already been doing this room before

08:12:47.660 --> 08:12:51.420
It's just gonna try to see if they can roam clear it. Yeah, newer than the vigil

08:12:51.420 --> 08:12:54.180
This is something we saw from him earlier in the tournament not a huge surprise

08:12:54.180 --> 08:12:57.020
This should be expected from wildcard, but you're also actually right man

08:12:57.020 --> 08:13:02.620
Block our 40% offensive win rate one of the loans that we have here in Salt Lake City in particular on this base

08:13:03.020 --> 08:13:06.980
Basement bomb sites they played it three times here in Salt Lake only a single win

08:13:06.980 --> 08:13:11.500
So they've had some struggles on this map and with such a heavy roam game as well

08:13:11.500 --> 08:13:15.660
It's gonna be really difficult to root these players out and still have time to go for that execute

08:13:15.820 --> 08:13:19.640
Sets up that CCTV portion of the site as well to be the tertiary right so

08:13:20.020 --> 08:13:22.020
For a lot of teams that is all reliable

08:13:27.020 --> 08:13:28.780
I got my coordinates crossed.

08:13:28.780 --> 08:13:30.420
I am standing on the different side of the desk,

08:13:30.420 --> 08:13:33.060
and usual left is right, right is left.

08:13:33.060 --> 08:13:34.220
Throws you freely.

08:13:34.220 --> 08:13:35.580
Nearer is up here towards top, Red.

08:13:35.580 --> 08:13:37.540
With the boss, G, not a super common gun

08:13:37.540 --> 08:13:39.100
that we see all the time these days,

08:13:39.100 --> 08:13:40.700
will have to be shot by his shots.

08:13:40.700 --> 08:13:42.540
The push is coming in from wildcard now,

08:13:42.540 --> 08:13:44.380
as we're seeing these players into the building.

08:13:44.380 --> 08:13:46.020
Baby shark over towards Lodgy.

08:13:46.020 --> 08:13:48.700
Hot and cold over towards Jim.

08:13:48.700 --> 08:13:52.300
And hot and cold, the first one straight on default.

08:13:52.300 --> 08:13:53.580
Operator, he knows very well.

08:13:53.580 --> 08:13:55.620
Faults playing that Hibana time and time again.

08:13:55.620 --> 08:13:59.820
good entry from hot and buys them some time newers still lurking not too far

08:13:59.820 --> 08:14:03.780
removed as is typical with this map we get towards the halfway point if you

08:14:03.780 --> 08:14:06.420
don't hold map control and get the kills you want you fall back and there was an

08:14:06.420 --> 08:14:10.260
escort there with Jane I know hosting up they've switched spots now with Jane I

08:14:10.260 --> 08:14:15.420
know that standing watching the lounge and stop portion could this catch wild

08:14:15.420 --> 08:14:18.620
card off guard yeah it's interesting just to waste a little bit more time

08:14:18.620 --> 08:14:21.420
there because they don't have that man advantage falling back down but what

08:14:21.420 --> 08:14:24.660
they do have is because newers is on the vigil it's gonna counter the grim it's

08:14:24.660 --> 08:14:29.500
He's the only operator that can actually do it nowadays, so he's just going to be able to back up and play that blue position and

08:14:29.500 --> 08:14:32.000
have to see how Wildcard's going to want to attack this.

08:14:32.000 --> 08:14:36.800
Yeah, going to be giving up that soft top space in 4v5. You have to favor Wildcard a little bit going into this.

08:14:36.800 --> 08:14:41.940
It feels like they've got really good time on their hands. They've got, of course, the man advantage, but there are some details inside the site

08:14:41.940 --> 08:14:47.560
they've got to worry about. You mentioned the vigil, these goyocancers as well, so they're going to be set up inside the site, the mute jammers, the keybos.

08:14:47.560 --> 08:14:54.300
There's a lot of utility still to work through if you're Wildcard, so they've gotten past their own game. That's great, but a lot of the hard part is still to come.

08:14:54.660 --> 08:14:58.920
Nades to clear away now toward that portion of blue.

08:14:58.920 --> 08:15:00.900
Bay will work through the keep of barriers here,

08:15:00.900 --> 08:15:02.580
a setup for a drop towards kitchen,

08:15:02.580 --> 08:15:06.100
while somebody out wildcard holds that cross inside of blue.

08:15:06.100 --> 08:15:08.460
40 seconds to go, and still wildcard

08:15:08.460 --> 08:15:10.300
getting very safely positioned.

08:15:10.300 --> 08:15:11.940
Yeah, I'd like to see them go for the trick,

08:15:11.940 --> 08:15:13.620
or not the church side, the kitchen side,

08:15:13.620 --> 08:15:15.540
because the zombie is super, super good

08:15:15.540 --> 08:15:17.700
and very annoying to try to get out of this church position,

08:15:17.700 --> 08:15:19.820
but they are going to get the first pick

08:15:19.820 --> 08:15:22.820
on to their worst, which is going to be a easy execute now.

08:15:22.820 --> 08:15:24.580
And now you got the shotgun posted up on the church

08:15:24.580 --> 08:15:26.780
12 time running out for Wildcard.

08:15:26.780 --> 08:15:28.700
And after referred to as a death drop,

08:15:28.700 --> 08:15:30.180
they're going to have to hit the deck.

08:15:30.180 --> 08:15:33.020
Down goes Kanzan at the hands of J9L, DZ on the board.

08:15:33.020 --> 08:15:34.460
Kino there as well.

08:15:34.460 --> 08:15:36.100
He's got another over towards Blue.

08:15:36.100 --> 08:15:38.300
DZ's actually doing mighty good in the kill department,

08:15:38.300 --> 08:15:40.740
but now it's NJR in a 1v2.

08:15:40.740 --> 08:15:43.820
He's sequestered over inside a dirt tunnel that'll buy time.

08:15:43.820 --> 08:15:45.500
But they will get the final kill,

08:15:45.500 --> 08:15:48.580
as Spiker is not able to get diffuser down.

08:15:48.580 --> 08:15:50.700
Wildcard will answer back.

08:15:50.700 --> 08:15:52.340
Yeah, I was just going to say easy execute,

08:15:52.340 --> 08:15:54.620
and I thought I was about to get my first caster curse,

08:15:54.620 --> 08:15:57.340
which is so good a thing I passed it.

08:15:57.340 --> 08:15:59.700
Glad to not have that happen yet.

08:15:59.700 --> 08:16:01.500
But yeah, they just needed a 3-2-1-something.

08:16:01.500 --> 08:16:02.780
Anything that got the man advantage

08:16:02.780 --> 08:16:03.820
made it a lot easier for themselves.

08:16:03.820 --> 08:16:04.900
They got kind of lucky that they didn't

08:16:04.900 --> 08:16:06.180
pop the Vulcan canister there so they

08:16:06.180 --> 08:16:07.100
can get an easy plan.

08:16:07.100 --> 08:16:09.180
Yeah, no really nice little defense coming out there

08:16:09.180 --> 08:16:09.980
from Dark Zero.

08:16:09.980 --> 08:16:11.980
Wildcard maybe a little bit off the mark

08:16:11.980 --> 08:16:13.180
going for that big execute.

08:16:13.180 --> 08:16:15.620
But of course, in the end, Wildcard, excuse me,

08:16:15.620 --> 08:16:17.700
GZ a little bit off the mark, stopping that coming through.

08:16:17.700 --> 08:16:21.180
But Wildcard, get it done, and they make that play happen.

08:16:21.180 --> 08:16:24.540
It's good somebody's wearing their jersey.

08:16:24.540 --> 08:16:26.820
All right, all right, all right.

08:16:26.820 --> 08:16:28.820
We're allowed a little bit of fun.

08:16:28.820 --> 08:16:31.500
Mid started the show by saying he was going to be hate watcher.

08:16:31.500 --> 08:16:32.380
That's true.

08:16:32.380 --> 08:16:33.380
You should have seen it.

08:16:33.380 --> 08:16:34.780
Luckily, there's no camera on me.

08:16:34.780 --> 08:16:36.860
Han Cole got the opening pick, and I'm just fist bumping.

08:16:36.860 --> 08:16:39.620
Ha ha ha ha.

08:16:39.620 --> 08:16:40.260
That's been great.

08:16:40.260 --> 08:16:41.260
Starts here two and one.

08:16:41.260 --> 08:16:43.260
Of course, the substitute coming in for Wildcard.

08:16:43.260 --> 08:16:45.580
You haven't been following throughout the group stage.

08:16:45.580 --> 08:16:47.860
Bit of controversy with him being a veteran of his team.

08:16:47.860 --> 08:16:50.060
And now a last minute sub in for Adrian.

08:16:50.060 --> 08:16:58.060
He used to play fantastic with the clutches and of course in the late round, but can frag in the early round too when you're going for that full roam clear, everybody needs to participate.

08:16:58.060 --> 08:17:04.060
Yeah, not only that, it's the comms he also provides. You look back at Wildcard when they were performing internationally. They had Dash on the team.

08:17:04.060 --> 08:17:10.060
He's also a vocal secondary leader. With Adrian, he's rumored to be a little bit quieter coming from secret, so now they do have Hot and Cold.

08:17:10.060 --> 08:17:17.060
He's able to play the shields and let Spiker kind of frag a little bit more, and he's also, because he's an IGL, he's able to talk a lot more and help out with the executes.

08:17:17.060 --> 08:17:22.220
Yeah, especially for Spike, I mean he's clearly an experienced IGL. He's one of the best that we have in North America

08:17:22.220 --> 08:17:28.500
But he's also the youngest IGL at this event, right? He still is somewhat inexperienced as a player, 21 years old

08:17:29.000 --> 08:17:31.860
So having someone like Hot and Cold can be big to play behind him

08:17:32.500 --> 08:17:36.820
Just missed the exothermic charge that'll open up a position now to punish bolts

08:17:37.700 --> 08:17:43.540
As it said, going back downstairs, they ought to go back to the top floor. Newers gets down, Hot and Cold

08:17:43.540 --> 08:17:51.440
Neurus is still existing inside this position. You saw the Skopos playing semi-unsupported inside a rafters and he cycles down

08:17:55.100 --> 08:18:00.340
Yeah, that was extremely risky I'm surprised I didn't just bring Habana for the briefs like her almost caught off guard the mirror

08:18:00.340 --> 08:18:03.620
I mean we're about to possibly see it again here potential to see for as well

08:18:03.620 --> 08:18:10.620
Oh, the BFB just caught it the last moment, so they can't throw up that extra thermal charge, and the wall is open.

08:18:10.620 --> 08:18:17.620
And Bay has been one of their best performing players from a fragging perspective, but small little pieces of utility like that.

08:18:17.620 --> 08:18:22.620
Not really reflected on the scoreboard, but huge value and huge importance, and they have been flowed over round.

08:18:22.620 --> 08:18:26.620
What's the game plan now from Wildcard? They don't have cash control, they're sitting outside the jacuzzi breach.

08:18:26.620 --> 08:18:30.620
They've got some good utility, but what do you want to see from them in these next 90 seconds, Mint?

08:18:30.620 --> 08:18:33.580
I mean, they're going to have to figure out what side they want to attack.

08:18:33.580 --> 08:18:36.340
They're obviously trying to pull the defenders possibly back from the calf side.

08:18:36.340 --> 08:18:39.300
We see a drone from Kansan moving into the cashroom, set up his flanks.

08:18:39.660 --> 08:18:43.860
Now they're going to be able to play Windows, and it looks like we probably should see a little bit more of a direct take

08:18:43.860 --> 08:18:48.620
in using the kind of the power operators, the glass, the game to try to get some of these killed out.

08:18:49.140 --> 08:18:51.820
K9O is going to block this window upright as the Kandela comes in.

08:18:51.820 --> 08:18:54.980
That buys them even more time, and J9O is such a strong spot here.

08:18:55.500 --> 08:18:57.940
I was wondering if the glass had revealed itself just yet.

08:18:57.940 --> 08:19:02.500
K-9-0 will continue to plug that hole. Flashbangs go in where the Candela can't do the trick.

08:19:02.500 --> 08:19:05.380
Newers is a good cross now over towards that open jacuzzi breach.

08:19:05.380 --> 08:19:08.020
K-9-0 is not relinquished control of that window.

08:19:08.020 --> 08:19:11.780
He might expose his backside, but the attention of Wildcard is elsewhere.

08:19:11.780 --> 08:19:16.220
Final 45 seconds and we are inches from these teams coming to blow, Jesse.

08:19:16.220 --> 08:19:17.380
Yeah, this could be really tight.

08:19:17.380 --> 08:19:20.020
Of course, the Candela still could be firing up, but they've all been used up,

08:19:20.020 --> 08:19:22.820
so they've got to find other ways to force these players through.

08:19:22.820 --> 08:19:24.300
K-9-0 is still fighting for his life.

08:19:24.300 --> 08:19:26.940
They're throwing everything at him except for the kitchen sink.

08:19:26.940 --> 08:19:31.380
Cans in and folds now on the board, but the number is favoring Dark Zero for the moment.

08:19:31.380 --> 08:19:34.800
J9L gets the ball in, wildcard desperate because they're running out of time!

08:19:34.800 --> 08:19:36.080
A good opportunity!

08:19:36.080 --> 08:19:37.680
Bay takes down two!

08:19:37.680 --> 08:19:41.500
Suddenly it's all up to NJR as Baby Shark and Bay will work together.

08:19:41.500 --> 08:19:45.980
NJR caught inside a construction, and believe you me, there's work to be done.

08:19:45.980 --> 08:19:52.180
Down goes Baby Shark, Bay empty-handed with no defuse hits, and the mayor does it again!

08:19:52.180 --> 08:19:54.240
NJR the clutch!

08:19:54.240 --> 08:19:57.040
He did it in Charlotte. That's how you want to major with him.

08:19:57.040 --> 08:19:59.700
And now he's done it here and solely.

08:19:59.700 --> 08:20:02.120
Yeah, I mean him going to the SSG core,

08:20:02.120 --> 08:20:05.400
they already had so many clutch players and J9O and Neuers.

08:20:05.400 --> 08:20:07.320
And now they get NJR as well.

08:20:07.320 --> 08:20:09.240
And it's just it's just not even fair.

08:20:09.240 --> 08:20:12.440
But that's how it doesn't matter if it's a 1v2, 1v3 for Nick.

08:20:12.440 --> 08:20:14.040
Everyone knows you can still clutch it out.

08:20:14.040 --> 08:20:15.840
Yeah, second opportunity for NJR.

08:20:15.840 --> 08:20:17.480
He gets it done in the second moment.

08:20:17.480 --> 08:20:20.120
So really massive right to come through from NJR.

08:20:20.120 --> 08:20:22.240
If you were listening to our first cast of the day,

08:20:22.240 --> 08:20:23.640
long group stage, of course,

08:20:23.640 --> 08:20:31.040
But if you listen to ace and bez casting enterprise to us to try not to you would have heard that enterprise were the most clutch team throughout this tournament

08:20:31.040 --> 08:20:35.100
And that is correct. But one percentage point behind them was dark zero

08:20:35.100 --> 08:20:41.980
They've been so good in these late rounds and despite the fact that hot and cold has the single most clutches coming into this game as a team

08:20:41.980 --> 08:20:46.820
It's been DZ who have been stronger in those moments. So not a surprise to see clutch just three rounds deep

08:20:46.820 --> 08:20:53.660
Yeah, we see the mirror getting banned out now too, by the way, and the thermite which is really just going at that wall

08:20:53.660 --> 08:20:55.340
And I again we don't want them to open up the big wall

08:20:55.340 --> 08:20:59.260
So we're just gonna bring cans at this point. We are going I think this is the basement site

08:21:03.140 --> 08:21:05.940
It is whoa, whoa, whoa wait till we get there

08:21:06.860 --> 08:21:09.000
Last round I just not having anything to get Jane

08:21:09.000 --> 08:21:12.980
I know out of cash or out of the gym position and he played it easy

08:21:12.980 --> 08:21:17.580
He played it fantastic. He played it so much time. Again, they had nothing besides

08:21:17.580 --> 08:21:23.580
Candela's. There's some players in North America that don't have to just move all the time.

08:21:23.580 --> 08:21:29.980
Jayne, I know had a terrific kickoff, one of the highest rated players in North America,

08:21:29.980 --> 08:21:34.780
really proving his value. I know that there were some, I think it's fair to say, some

08:21:34.780 --> 08:21:41.260
decent and reasonable criticisms of DZ's offensive potential when you saw this roster announced.

08:21:41.260 --> 08:21:43.260
said, okay, maybe, maybe, maybe

08:21:43.260 --> 08:21:44.260
newers, but where's the support?

08:21:44.260 --> 08:21:46.260
Well, Jaina knows been moved into that position, and frankly, it's flourished.

08:21:46.260 --> 08:21:50.260
It's been a really nice to see him finding some success here on his DZ team.

08:21:50.260 --> 08:21:53.760
Everyone's been really putting in the work, but now here in round four, after that last

08:21:53.760 --> 08:21:56.260
set of off-vans come through, we see a bit of a change up.

08:21:56.260 --> 08:21:59.260
Faults has jumped on this clash, and this is something that it seems like they might

08:21:59.260 --> 08:22:01.260
have been saving until after that final ban came through.

08:22:01.260 --> 08:22:04.260
What do you feel is with the clash on this bottom site?

08:22:04.260 --> 08:22:08.260
Yeah, I feel like when you hold onto the main stairs, it's kind of a knowledge check, in

08:22:08.260 --> 08:22:10.260
a sense. Like, you're just trying to see if they are going to have anything to create

08:22:10.260 --> 08:22:11.100
everything to clear this out.

08:22:11.100 --> 08:22:12.240
The opposite end of the capital.

08:22:12.240 --> 08:22:13.620
So it's a great plan here.

08:22:13.620 --> 08:22:15.580
I'm guessing he hit the clash as well.

08:22:15.580 --> 08:22:16.420
There's no Nomad.

08:22:16.420 --> 08:22:18.540
So this is like one of those positions again

08:22:18.540 --> 08:22:20.380
where they had a good read about wild card

08:22:20.380 --> 08:22:22.500
and not being able to clear certain power spots.

08:22:22.500 --> 08:22:24.700
And we might be seeing it again here.

08:22:24.700 --> 08:22:26.220
Unfortunate shot of the C4 there.

08:22:26.220 --> 08:22:27.060
That's okay.

08:22:28.060 --> 08:22:29.660
We want to throw up with it again.

08:22:29.660 --> 08:22:30.820
Fault has been doing a great job.

08:22:30.820 --> 08:22:32.020
It feels like wasting time.

08:22:32.020 --> 08:22:32.860
Like you're right.

08:22:32.860 --> 08:22:33.700
There's no Nomad.

08:22:33.700 --> 08:22:35.380
They don't have a good way to force Fault's back.

08:22:35.380 --> 08:22:36.980
And even if they have a way to maybe catch him

08:22:36.980 --> 08:22:38.540
on the verpe when he rotates through,

08:22:38.540 --> 08:22:39.660
he has no reason to move.

08:22:39.660 --> 08:22:41.660
like the seagulls from finding Nima.

08:22:41.660 --> 08:22:44.260
Minus three different people are looking,

08:22:44.260 --> 08:22:48.100
but Matthew Stevens tears through two, Kino shuts him down.

08:22:48.100 --> 08:22:49.980
A great entry point from Wildcard.

08:22:49.980 --> 08:22:52.220
We've still got half the round to go.

08:22:52.220 --> 08:22:53.820
Well, sometimes when you don't have utility,

08:22:53.820 --> 08:22:55.220
you've got to make something happen.

08:22:55.220 --> 08:22:57.780
And Han cold, he's been around even DZ long enough

08:22:57.780 --> 08:22:59.620
to know when we're going to stall,

08:22:59.620 --> 08:23:00.860
someone's got to make a hero play,

08:23:00.860 --> 08:23:02.900
drop down a motor hatch, that's a better move.

08:23:02.900 --> 08:23:04.860
Yeah, massive play from Han cold, of course.

08:23:04.860 --> 08:23:07.980
He finds that gap, DZ a little bit down with their pants,

08:23:07.980 --> 08:23:10.880
So they're gonna have to kind of find some way to work the man count back.

08:23:10.880 --> 08:23:14.080
This is of course still a very defender favorite site sometimes.

08:23:14.080 --> 08:23:14.680
Oh my.

08:23:14.680 --> 08:23:16.580
Oh, the info is so good though.

08:23:16.580 --> 08:23:19.180
And the follow-up, baby shot!

08:23:19.180 --> 08:23:23.080
It was the same map where he had quite a blunder and kickoff.

08:23:23.080 --> 08:23:25.980
I don't know if there's a clubhouse curse with the Frenchman,

08:23:25.980 --> 08:23:29.180
but it is at least through NJR off this position.

08:23:29.180 --> 08:23:32.280
Kitchen hatch opened up, impact by NJR does not succeed,

08:23:32.280 --> 08:23:34.780
and we've got just under a minute to go in the round.

08:23:34.780 --> 08:23:36.080
Yeah, I'm still worried.

08:23:36.080 --> 08:23:40.360
3v4 for dark zero, but at the same time who's alive. It's NJR

08:23:40.360 --> 08:23:44.080
We already seen in clutch a 1v2 once man count just doesn't matter to this guy

08:23:46.040 --> 08:23:50.120
Maybe shark takes down Kino he avenges himself now double numbers for wild car

08:23:51.360 --> 08:23:56.680
Looking for success on this bottom floor bomb site yet again amazingly it's gonna struggle for them

08:23:56.680 --> 08:23:59.820
It might still be NJR takes down spikers

08:23:59.820 --> 08:24:02.820
Baby Shark, is he about to do it again?

08:24:02.820 --> 08:24:04.820
I said I would eat a hat if Souls clutched.

08:24:04.820 --> 08:24:06.820
NGR will not do it.

08:24:06.820 --> 08:24:07.820
My stomach is safe.

08:24:07.820 --> 08:24:11.820
Newers will have to win a 1v2 inside a church,

08:24:11.820 --> 08:24:14.820
saying his prayers, clutching his rosary.

08:24:14.820 --> 08:24:15.820
Look at that answer.

08:24:15.820 --> 08:24:18.820
It's the kill and we've got a tie game.

08:24:18.820 --> 08:24:20.820
Oh, luckily for Wildcard, they got the weapon.

08:24:20.820 --> 08:24:22.820
The weapon, 94, stepping up what it matters.

08:24:22.820 --> 08:24:24.820
You referenced it before the game.

08:24:24.820 --> 08:24:25.820
It's got to be Bay.

08:24:25.820 --> 08:24:28.820
It's got to be Baby Shark stepping up what it matters.

08:24:28.820 --> 08:24:34.820
He might have missed that easy kill, but at least we have the storm coming down Bane Hall to end the round.

08:24:34.820 --> 08:24:39.820
Yeah, what a round coming through from Bay, making sure things don't fall apart at the final moment.

08:24:39.820 --> 08:24:42.820
That's a critical kill to get here at the last moment for Wildcard.

08:24:42.820 --> 08:24:45.820
Bay almost underrated players, and here's that play from Hawthorn.

08:24:45.820 --> 08:24:48.820
It opens the door. That's really got to be the play, because you're right.

08:24:48.820 --> 08:24:52.820
They didn't have any good ways to get past the clash on the main stairs, so hot and cold said,

08:24:52.820 --> 08:24:55.820
I got to take a risk. I have to make something happen. He did just that.

08:24:55.820 --> 08:24:59.900
He did just that, newer than a potential spot to clutch things up, but what a shot from

08:24:59.900 --> 08:25:02.180
Bay finishing that up and tying the game 2-2.

08:25:02.180 --> 08:25:06.060
Yeah, still, that's what's worrying me though, is they're not really having the operators

08:25:06.060 --> 08:25:07.560
to kind of deal with some of these positions.

08:25:07.560 --> 08:25:11.040
They kind of rely on a hero play from Hot Gold, but at the same time, they struggle on

08:25:11.040 --> 08:25:14.740
attack, we're at 2-2, like this is still looking really good for Law of Turner.

08:25:14.740 --> 08:25:16.740
I was gonna say, what's the win con here, right?

08:25:16.740 --> 08:25:22.940
Wildcarts do not choose this map, usually, Siege Wisdom is a 4-2 on the side that you

08:25:22.940 --> 08:25:27.380
choose on the map you didn't choose is pretty basic right? The wild card is not

08:25:27.380 --> 08:25:31.220
just a team that is going along with the trends they've got a new player on the

08:25:31.220 --> 08:25:35.380
roster then that pool might be a little smaller. It's harder for them to attack as

08:25:35.380 --> 08:25:41.460
you both address gear so is a 3-3 even a good cushion for wild card or they need to shoot half?

08:25:41.460 --> 08:25:44.860
I mean you would love higher but a 3-3 would be great I think the last time they

08:25:44.860 --> 08:25:48.380
matched up they didn't win a single attack if I remember correctly versus 3-0.

08:25:48.380 --> 08:25:50.380
It was rough on the offense for sure.

08:25:50.380 --> 08:25:51.380
Yeah, it was rough on the offense.

08:25:51.380 --> 08:25:53.380
So, you know, 3-3's looking pretty good.

08:25:53.380 --> 08:25:56.380
I have a lot more faith in them on the defense path.

08:25:56.380 --> 08:25:59.380
I think Darkshear can sometimes struggle with that.

08:25:59.380 --> 08:26:02.380
Even though Stats don't show it, I think they're the highest attack.

08:26:02.380 --> 08:26:04.380
They have the highest attack when you're at Yelp.

08:26:04.380 --> 08:26:07.380
So, but I still think they can struggle because they have that four support structure.

08:26:07.380 --> 08:26:08.380
Really only newers.

08:26:08.380 --> 08:26:13.380
So, I mean, depending on what Wildcat does, I think they're looking good on the defense path.

08:26:13.380 --> 08:26:16.380
Well, looking at balance back, of course, they won this site back in round number one.

08:26:16.380 --> 08:26:20.620
the same NJR back here on the Chonka. You got the Azami inside of rafters, although it's newest.

08:26:20.620 --> 08:26:24.500
Sorry, it's like a G and I know when the Leafs are on the Eggers here, but they're straight in the site.

08:26:24.500 --> 08:26:28.300
Baby Shark's running in! Oh, and he gets turned on by J9O!

08:26:28.300 --> 08:26:32.340
Baby Shark needs to hone his aiming shots just a little bit.

08:26:32.340 --> 08:26:37.980
That's the second time in two rounds. He's had a golden opportunity and ultimately missed.

08:26:37.980 --> 08:26:40.900
Would have liked to see if it draws more player, maybe sink that up a little bit,

08:26:40.900 --> 08:26:45.020
since Jack was standing up to pick that gun. If I should have been a trade there, maybe I missed the opportunity,

08:26:45.020 --> 08:26:48.320
But at least Jack is one HP probably going to be the next marketer.

08:26:48.320 --> 08:26:50.720
It can't Scott the air jab down towards bottom garage.

08:26:50.720 --> 08:26:53.920
The buckle tools try to force him out if those ADSes have been burned.

08:26:53.920 --> 08:26:57.420
So there are opportunities, but Singer is getting awkward for Dark Zero now.

08:26:57.420 --> 08:26:59.620
The momentum is scurrying to build for Wildcard.

08:26:59.620 --> 08:27:01.320
Balls down inside of Oilpit.

08:27:01.320 --> 08:27:03.720
This is a crazy position for him to be in on the castle.

08:27:03.720 --> 08:27:06.320
It is. I mean, he's just expecting them to have no answers.

08:27:06.320 --> 08:27:09.020
Basically, Walk in and start walking up the rafter stairs.

08:27:09.020 --> 08:27:10.720
And to be honest, he's not far off.

08:27:10.720 --> 08:27:12.220
Again, this is the problem with Wildcrup.

08:27:12.220 --> 08:27:13.920
There's no answer here.

08:27:13.920 --> 08:27:19.680
They do have a drone pointed in that direction, though, so you know, baby shark will be working those cams from the bench.

08:27:20.560 --> 08:27:26.720
Jane, I know it's done a very good job of sticking with this position. He didn't when he was defending that gym window as well.

08:27:26.720 --> 08:27:31.760
He's a completely immovable object. There's cans and to get it. You ought to take the body or you take the air job.

08:27:32.000 --> 08:27:35.440
But as mentioned, you've got faults here in auxiliary. He's your insurance policy.

08:27:36.400 --> 08:27:41.520
And I don't know if we're going to check this being this low on time. They're already worried about NJR with those two chonka fires over the top.

08:27:41.520 --> 08:27:45.520
I called it out that first strap, I've seen a lot of teams kind of take this.

08:27:46.520 --> 08:27:48.520
Doesn't seem to have an idea.

08:27:48.520 --> 08:27:50.520
Yeah, they clearly know there was a castle down there, right?

08:27:50.520 --> 08:27:53.520
You'd expect the castle to be somewhere around lounge, so they've got a clue that it could be,

08:27:53.520 --> 08:27:55.520
but they're kind of pulling off that position.

08:27:55.520 --> 08:27:57.520
They cleared the rafter's guide great, they don't have to play that.

08:27:57.520 --> 08:28:00.520
They don't really have the time for the man to have to do so.

08:28:00.520 --> 08:28:02.520
Volta's gonna look for the run out here.

08:28:02.520 --> 08:28:05.520
Two bodies all three lined up, but he's worried about it.

08:28:05.520 --> 08:28:07.520
Knocked over a free kill, maybe no.

08:28:07.520 --> 08:28:09.520
Volta's still able to enjoy her!

08:28:09.520 --> 08:28:12.260
However, how does it take advantage of that one?

08:28:12.260 --> 08:28:13.680
Both the newers on the board,

08:28:13.680 --> 08:28:17.100
Spiker the lone kill so far, but suddenly it's a 2v2.

08:28:17.100 --> 08:28:18.700
Bay with a kill of his own.

08:28:18.700 --> 08:28:20.180
Time running out for Wildcard,

08:28:20.180 --> 08:28:22.380
looking for that ever important third round.

08:28:22.380 --> 08:28:24.060
Spiker has pulled an opportunity.

08:28:24.060 --> 08:28:25.180
Bay's watched out of position.

08:28:25.180 --> 08:28:26.820
Spiker will still commit.

08:28:26.820 --> 08:28:27.660
There go the Flames.

08:28:27.660 --> 08:28:29.780
Spiker will have to take the man, the body.

08:28:29.780 --> 08:28:32.300
Aquino will seal the deal.

08:28:32.300 --> 08:28:36.460
Best Wildcard can hope for is a 3-3 first half as DZ.

08:28:36.460 --> 08:28:37.780
Now sit on through.

08:28:37.780 --> 08:28:39.020
This is the problem with DZ.

08:28:39.020 --> 08:28:41.620
We keep talking about it, but it's these late round players

08:28:41.620 --> 08:28:43.660
because they've got so many star players

08:28:43.660 --> 08:28:45.500
in those late moments on their roster.

08:28:45.500 --> 08:28:48.060
It's Kino, it's NJR, the best achalka in the world

08:28:48.060 --> 08:28:48.900
in that position.

08:28:48.900 --> 08:28:49.900
There's no doubt about it.

08:28:49.900 --> 08:28:52.800
The Thorn having good value with that utility as well.

08:28:52.800 --> 08:28:55.420
Just really nice late round coming through from DZ.

08:28:55.420 --> 08:28:56.420
And again, for Wildcard,

08:28:56.420 --> 08:28:58.700
took them a really long time to clear Raptors.

08:28:58.700 --> 08:29:00.380
Didn't exactly see them take that space

08:29:00.380 --> 08:29:01.540
after they cleared it out as well.

08:29:01.540 --> 08:29:04.300
So maybe not the push we were looking for, man.

08:29:04.300 --> 08:29:06.300
Now, I mean, again, Plan A didn't work.

08:29:06.300 --> 08:29:08.100
It took them a long time to come up with that Plan B,

08:29:08.100 --> 08:29:09.780
And I mean, credit credit to them.

08:29:09.780 --> 08:29:11.140
They did make it happen.

08:29:11.140 --> 08:29:13.900
I really like that they rotated the bomb to the left side

08:29:13.900 --> 08:29:15.820
to try to counter the chopper and try to close to the drone

08:29:15.820 --> 08:29:16.320
hole.

08:29:16.320 --> 08:29:18.420
But no audio on the full to run out, I'm guessing.

08:29:18.420 --> 08:29:20.460
Maybe there was a little bit of hectic comp, which

08:29:20.460 --> 08:29:22.300
is something that was kind of nervous to me.

08:29:22.300 --> 08:29:24.060
I had a conversation with Hot and Gold,

08:29:24.060 --> 08:29:26.300
and said, what's kind of the biggest problem

08:29:26.300 --> 08:29:27.300
there is within filling in.

08:29:27.300 --> 08:29:29.660
And with his added voice onto the team,

08:29:29.660 --> 08:29:32.860
it does seem like it does add a lot of extra comps into it.

08:29:32.860 --> 08:29:35.020
I mean, there is a benefit of having somebody like Adrian

08:29:35.020 --> 08:29:35.420
on the team.

08:29:35.420 --> 08:29:38.060
If he's not talking a lot, there is more silence, right?

08:29:38.060 --> 08:29:39.500
It's easier for you to hear things,

08:29:39.500 --> 08:29:41.460
and teams have commented on this too.

08:29:41.460 --> 08:29:43.460
You know, one of the things that people thought about

08:29:43.460 --> 08:29:46.340
during this, maybe there are way too many cooks

08:29:46.340 --> 08:29:47.620
in the kitchen, and I mean,

08:29:47.620 --> 08:29:49.300
they got thrown out of free of this event,

08:29:49.300 --> 08:29:50.660
so it would appear that none of those cooks

08:29:50.660 --> 08:29:52.380
can actually cook at all.

08:29:52.380 --> 08:29:55.740
But in here, if you've got Han cold being very open,

08:29:55.740 --> 08:29:57.540
it's very easy for an airjab to go missed

08:29:57.540 --> 08:29:59.460
when you're staring down 20 seconds on the clock,

08:29:59.460 --> 08:30:00.620
you got three bodies stacked up,

08:30:00.620 --> 08:30:01.460
you're stalling out,

08:30:01.460 --> 08:30:05.100
and you just were able to flush out some of garage.

08:30:05.100 --> 08:30:06.900
Whether you know Colts is there or not,

08:30:06.900 --> 08:30:10.340
There's still more work to be done, and it's just ultimately a good time.

08:30:10.340 --> 08:30:12.660
He's even making a lot of chaos here on these defense.

08:30:12.660 --> 08:30:14.100
They've got one more opportunity now.

08:30:14.100 --> 08:30:15.860
They'll go gym bedroom for the second time,

08:30:15.860 --> 08:30:18.100
and the captain's gone back onto the clash again.

08:30:18.100 --> 08:30:19.900
They didn't show this in their first-side rotation,

08:30:19.900 --> 08:30:20.660
but he'll bring it back.

08:30:20.660 --> 08:30:21.900
NJR on the chunk of twos.

08:30:21.900 --> 08:30:24.740
They've got really good ways to slow down the wild card

08:30:24.740 --> 08:30:27.300
on both this catch-side clear, but also, of course,

08:30:27.300 --> 08:30:28.740
going for that plant.

08:30:28.740 --> 08:30:30.660
There's no roamers really down below the site,

08:30:30.660 --> 08:30:34.060
but they can use these utilities to kind of clear through on towards red.

08:30:34.060 --> 08:30:35.100
That's where Fault is playing.

08:30:35.100 --> 08:30:39.260
got newers right beside him over on the cash side too. Are we fully committing to this clear

08:30:39.260 --> 08:30:42.620
manager? Are they kind of looking around and thinking is this what we want to push for?

08:30:42.620 --> 08:30:47.020
Yeah I still think they're kind of looking here and you mentioned it. I mean Duxero's lineup is full

08:30:47.020 --> 08:30:51.660
stall operators. Nick on his favorite operator for some reason he loves to chonka. They have the

08:30:51.660 --> 08:30:56.300
clash which you should thank god we have hot and cold on the Zofia but it doesn't look actually

08:30:56.300 --> 08:31:00.220
we're going to rotate to maybe a direct take. They bought that Zofia to get Jane I know out of that

08:31:00.220 --> 08:31:04.460
position that was earlier in gym. That might be their adaption here and we'll we'll see if they

08:31:04.460 --> 08:31:05.460
They kind of do the same thing.

08:31:05.460 --> 08:31:07.740
They basically have to fault alone over Cache's side.

08:31:07.740 --> 08:31:10.820
So every other defender on Dark Zero can kind of hold down the site.

08:31:10.820 --> 08:31:13.100
This is going to be really tough for Wildcarts to break into.

08:31:13.100 --> 08:31:15.180
They don't have the ying like they had last time either.

08:31:15.180 --> 08:31:18.140
So they've got to find some other way to break through his defense.

08:31:18.140 --> 08:31:20.060
90 seconds deep and not a kill on the board.

08:31:20.060 --> 08:31:21.980
Wildcarts, you've got to think they want a little more than that.

08:31:21.980 --> 08:31:23.820
Yeah, I mean, they swapped out the glass, the ying.

08:31:23.820 --> 08:31:25.780
They bring utility instead with the line in the demo.

08:31:25.780 --> 08:31:29.420
So the problem is assessing where they are and then flushing them into your waiting arms.

08:31:29.420 --> 08:31:30.220
Why not bring some in?

08:31:30.220 --> 08:31:33.020
Tell for you, you got some pretty good guns at the process.

08:31:33.020 --> 08:31:36.460
Game was also pretty decent when it comes to the caliber-based destruction.

08:31:36.460 --> 08:31:40.740
The clash now buying time as Folt successes the two holes opened up on the cruising wall.

08:31:41.220 --> 08:31:44.220
He might be on a collision course with Hotten now as he walks up.

08:31:44.220 --> 08:31:48.020
He's spotted knocking that shield out, but there's not enough coordination.

08:31:48.020 --> 08:31:49.460
Maybe sure enough, fast enough.

08:31:49.460 --> 08:31:52.620
Kanzin and Bay on the board, they'll get the clash on the run.

08:31:52.620 --> 08:31:54.900
Maybe Sharp almost got more than he could shoot.

08:31:54.900 --> 08:31:56.660
The round is over.

08:31:56.660 --> 08:32:04.660
Five kills in the span of two seconds and a flawless end to the first half for Wildcard as they tied the game.

08:32:11.660 --> 08:32:14.660
We're like just same shut the fuck gate man.

08:32:14.660 --> 08:32:19.660
You're gonna use a snake, come through the strip side, look at that main rotation early, and you're gonna work our way back afterwards.

08:32:19.660 --> 08:32:20.660
Oh yeah.

08:32:20.660 --> 08:32:24.020
We'll just kind of play it slower off, showing that cache side pressure as well. They probably will

08:32:24.740 --> 08:32:27.860
blow down main or stage side. So you cut that guy, then when we're actually ready to crank,

08:32:27.860 --> 08:32:32.500
you're gonna work on main off that. Okay. And then for cache, if we identify they are

08:32:32.500 --> 08:32:35.620
not doing a lounge extension, which they're probably not without the mirror. The only way they

08:32:35.620 --> 08:32:40.020
could do is with castle. You're gonna work below, you and polker, you're gonna do like the fucking

08:32:40.020 --> 08:32:44.580
big fuck. So upright. Or you're gonna go through the sludge. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, usually don't work

08:32:44.580 --> 08:32:48.500
a lot. Outside of that, you know, this attack half right here, let's adjust your drone as well.

08:32:48.500 --> 08:32:51.540
use it as kind of like a free drone and then because they have changed a couple of things

08:32:52.100 --> 08:32:54.660
get the information you look great about that because you have an opportunity for it not what

08:32:54.660 --> 08:32:57.300
you're going and then just fuck the extra drone like last time it doesn't matter

08:32:58.900 --> 08:33:04.420
hurt hurt all right that's it that's it that's it all right well artistic display

08:33:04.420 --> 08:33:09.620
well artistic display falls take take some rest here on the roof yeah here we go let's do

08:33:10.660 --> 08:33:14.020
otherwise we're going to be super pinched right yeah for a cash box I have to be careful the

08:33:14.020 --> 08:33:18.100
the rest is here and probably going to send the nearest to play on first floor right away

08:33:18.100 --> 08:33:22.340
for our friends correct so be careful with that okay this guy running for you guys so the main

08:33:22.340 --> 08:33:25.380
thing that is helping Bayon lounge, helping Bayon lounge is super important you're going to have the

08:33:25.380 --> 08:33:28.900
one mine which they should wear that so helping him in the initial part is fine because the middle

08:33:28.900 --> 08:33:32.660
one's going to be a little bit more different right okay and for basin bro playing the pulse right

08:33:32.660 --> 08:33:35.540
there like being smart right we're going to start with five baits set up and then we're going to play

08:33:35.540 --> 08:33:38.900
more bunker but at the end of the day spanker don't get killed in the room it is a bunker

08:33:38.900 --> 08:33:41.940
set up but it just want to bait some triggers right okay you guys talk about it first try

08:33:41.940 --> 08:33:48.940
They want to try to get a blue hatch, they try to shoot on cancer, they want to try to get a hatch, right?

08:33:48.940 --> 08:33:51.940
They want to try to use the tip, like, what we're doing from there to try to get a kitchen.

08:33:51.940 --> 08:33:53.940
It's a super important part.

08:33:53.940 --> 08:33:54.940
Which strategy?

08:33:54.940 --> 08:33:55.940
Just in general.

08:33:55.940 --> 08:33:56.940
In general, yes.

08:33:56.940 --> 08:33:59.940
Like, now initial plans don't have the echo, but during the match, guys, the echo can be very good, right?

08:33:59.940 --> 08:34:01.940
Who has a problem for them.

08:34:01.940 --> 08:34:05.940
So like, stick with the initial plan for the second round, if it's still not being done, bring it back, right?

08:34:05.940 --> 08:34:06.940
I don't know.

08:34:06.940 --> 08:34:07.940
And read the game for us, people.

08:34:07.940 --> 08:34:08.940
I think we can see our cash easy again.

08:34:08.940 --> 08:34:10.940
Keep the energy, good communication, let's go.

08:34:10.940 --> 08:34:17.620
I mean, the two best coaches at N.A. like I love a lot.

08:34:17.620 --> 08:34:20.540
Goten is time out and a call out time out.

08:34:20.540 --> 08:34:22.380
Sometimes I have no idea what call out is talking about.

08:34:22.380 --> 08:34:26.180
He's just talking about catalyzing gorillas and you better crank up the whatever it is

08:34:26.180 --> 08:34:29.180
like all this lingo.

08:34:29.180 --> 08:34:30.180
It's actually insane.

08:34:30.180 --> 08:34:31.180
And then you have the blue bonus.

08:34:31.180 --> 08:34:32.180
He's actually more strategical.

08:34:32.180 --> 08:34:34.540
Hey, let's not get those free picks like her.

08:34:34.540 --> 08:34:37.160
Let's make sure we're kind of playing backed up, playing off our team.

08:34:37.160 --> 08:34:38.360
It's very interesting dynamic.

08:34:38.360 --> 08:34:40.900
I think call out even had like over a minute left there is like, Hey, that's it.

08:34:40.900 --> 08:34:45.580
Like just chill. Yeah, it's crazy the dynamic right because called doesn't even need the full two minutes

08:34:45.580 --> 08:34:48.280
It's even need one and then Lagonas. He's wrap-gotting the whole way

08:34:48.280 --> 08:34:53.620
I mean frankly meant if you're looking for a play-by-play casters to do it with you might have Lagonas on your side

08:34:54.740 --> 08:34:59.380
He's been feeling out the information. I like that. We got the replay from Bay here just at the end there too

08:34:59.380 --> 08:35:03.980
He was really that key point that we didn't get to catch live where he's coming in through jacuzzi right when that push

08:35:03.980 --> 08:35:07.700
Is happening up the main stairs Bay's elevated himself up now eight and three

08:35:07.700 --> 08:35:12.640
He's the highest rated player on wildcard through those first six rounds as we come to expect from day 94

08:35:12.680 --> 08:35:16.860
Yeah, the storm like we mentioned before 8 and 3 the storm was arrived

08:35:16.860 --> 08:35:23.180
But baby shark we need you to arrive on this defensive half if we are going to see them close out on this map

08:35:23.180 --> 08:35:25.420
I gotta ask where do these nicknames come?

08:35:26.420 --> 08:35:30.140
94 the storm oh well, you know what they come from Bay himself

08:35:30.140 --> 08:35:34.060
He actually types in check the storm has arrived right when that's when you know

08:35:34.060 --> 08:35:39.500
He is lost the weapon is here like he talks about himself in the third person, but you know what it gets us

08:35:39.500 --> 08:35:42.540
Hi, didn't why not have a couple names if you're really bad at the game

08:35:42.540 --> 08:35:44.380
It's cringe if you're really good at the game

08:35:44.380 --> 08:35:47.740
It's still kind of cringe, but at least you're good at the game so we accept

08:35:47.900 --> 08:35:52.620
But he gets away with it. All right, he's got the talent. He could say exactly what he wants in such a text chat

08:35:52.620 --> 08:35:54.300
All right, we'll let him fly

08:35:54.300 --> 08:36:00.300
highest rated player most frags as well and I don't expect me to slow down any at all on this side of the map

08:36:00.300 --> 08:36:02.960
The one person that will be looking at his cotton cold

08:36:03.540 --> 08:36:08.320
He's had some games where he's fallen off longer. It's gone long. He's done pretty well on his wall

08:36:08.320 --> 08:36:12.280
He's going to be leading us quite heavily as a smoke in this one

08:36:13.440 --> 08:36:18.560
And we see the operator bands span it up. They're not running it. So we're going to bring the thermite

08:36:18.560 --> 08:36:20.080
It's going to create a ton of ghost pressure

08:36:20.080 --> 08:36:24.720
It's going to make it really hard for wildcard to kind of figure out the takes and that's exactly what they're going to talk about

08:36:24.720 --> 08:36:26.720
Do not be fooled. Do not be baited

08:36:26.720 --> 08:36:28.720
I don't know what's going on.

08:36:28.720 --> 08:36:31.720
They're going to be a gym side over push from dark zero.

08:36:31.720 --> 08:36:33.720
They started to close in on baby shark.

08:36:33.720 --> 08:36:35.720
He was the man we were asking for a little bit more from.

08:36:35.720 --> 08:36:38.720
He didn't have the best first half three and five here coming into the round seven,

08:36:38.720 --> 08:36:40.720
but he can be the difference maker.

08:36:40.720 --> 08:36:43.720
If he has a good swing, that could change all the momentum.

08:36:43.720 --> 08:36:46.720
Yeah, like you said, they're going to be going for that gym position.

08:36:46.720 --> 08:36:49.720
Kino on the blitz is going to be the key driver here.

08:36:49.720 --> 08:36:52.720
And I think he's kind of been struggling a little bit this tournament compared to domestically.

08:36:52.720 --> 08:36:54.720
How like one of the best players in NA.

08:36:54.720 --> 08:36:59.320
in NA, so we're gonna have to see it again, some domestic competition in pizza.

08:36:59.320 --> 08:37:04.080
I mean, Kino's numbers were so inflated after those first couple games where DZ demolished

08:37:04.080 --> 08:37:08.480
teams in the group stages, ended up coming in 4-0 to the playoffs, and after the very

08:37:08.480 --> 08:37:12.080
first playoff matchup, everybody thought, oh, they're gonna be favorites to win.

08:37:12.080 --> 08:37:15.120
Kino coming back down to Earth, DZ's chances fell a little bit.

08:37:15.120 --> 08:37:19.240
First blood, by the way, spilled by DarkZero, answered back, baby sure gets one, traded

08:37:19.240 --> 08:37:20.240
immediately.

08:37:20.240 --> 08:37:24.240
Kino, the shield is down, there goes Spiker as well, Bay and Hot and Cold on the run.

08:37:24.240 --> 08:37:31.240
Dark Zero doubling up on them, which is still over a minute to go, and Hot and Cold's position spotted as he'll be frozen in place from an E1D.

08:37:31.240 --> 08:37:38.240
They might have to call him baby back after that play, but unfortunately his teammates are falling, Parker. One back from Hot and Cold, back brings us close to within one now.

08:37:38.240 --> 08:37:46.240
These players are on wildcard, they've been so aggressive on the master side, it's been a really good job of downing these numbers on the side of DZ, but there's still so much time.

08:37:46.240 --> 08:37:53.240
Yeah, this is exactly what they needed to do, because they were down in a man count, usually pro teams, they want to make sure it's a 3v3 before they back up on this side of the map.

08:37:53.240 --> 08:37:57.920
on this side of the map. It's widely thought that if you give them the man advantage in the space over here,

08:37:57.920 --> 08:38:02.680
it's extremely hard to win the late rounds. So we saw hot cold getting aggressive naked and aggressive and at this point

08:38:02.680 --> 08:38:04.080
it's low time.

08:38:04.080 --> 08:38:06.080
They will sit and lay down

08:38:06.120 --> 08:38:12.680
trying to ride out the storm. Han cold takes out MJR. He exchanged most of his HP and he's nothing but a gun at this point.

08:38:12.680 --> 08:38:17.360
Two guns technically because of the arsenal brought by hot cold. No gas canisters remaining.

08:38:17.360 --> 08:38:21.080
He's got mirrors up far removed, fighting his way out.

08:38:21.080 --> 08:38:23.720
Neewer's now looking for intel, but he's a little bit far removed.

08:38:23.720 --> 08:38:26.280
You've got to go time, not on your side.

08:38:26.280 --> 08:38:28.560
There goes Heimkohl, J90, finding the entry.

08:38:28.560 --> 08:38:30.880
They looking for double digits, and he finds both.

08:38:30.880 --> 08:38:31.880
He gets it.

08:38:31.880 --> 08:38:34.160
His position pushed out by the name,

08:38:34.160 --> 08:38:36.080
and Neewer's will get the follow-up.

08:38:36.080 --> 08:38:38.080
Very good coordination by DarkZero

08:38:38.080 --> 08:38:40.200
as they take the first round of the second half.

08:38:40.200 --> 08:38:41.120
No storms here.

08:38:41.120 --> 08:38:44.000
It's got all clear skies going through from DarkZero.

08:38:44.000 --> 08:38:46.760
What a great attack that was over on the master side push.

08:38:46.760 --> 08:38:50.440
Wow, and almost a 2v4 in their way, going in their direction,

08:38:50.440 --> 08:38:53.800
but like you called before, like you just can't beat Darkseer in these end rounds.

08:38:53.800 --> 08:38:56.120
Hot and cold almost did it, the veteran presence there,

08:38:56.120 --> 08:38:58.040
but he just stuck out a little bit in the backstab.

08:39:01.320 --> 08:39:03.080
I like they didn't panic too much in this, again,

08:39:03.080 --> 08:39:05.560
like they didn't know Baby Shark's position here in South bathroom.

08:39:05.560 --> 08:39:07.320
You see Kino gets a little bit caught off by that,

08:39:07.320 --> 08:39:10.840
but it doesn't matter, just because you lose that spearhead, that shield,

08:39:10.840 --> 08:39:12.520
you can still find ways to battle back.

08:39:12.520 --> 08:39:15.240
They did a really good job trading through, and I think in this 2v2,

08:39:15.240 --> 08:39:20.080
like it's unfortunate what Cole goes down in the midst of that I really did feel like that was a winnable position coming

08:39:20.080 --> 08:39:23.600
Up from wild card, but in the end there's just too many angles to worry about isn't it?

08:39:23.920 --> 08:39:27.960
Yeah, it is and I mean what did concern me there the dark sir hate watch coming up

08:39:27.960 --> 08:39:30.160
They were a little slow in the next few after their first

08:39:30.560 --> 08:39:35.280
Initial and then they started just kind of shoulder around bleeding some bodies as we call it to that to be to and then didn't know

08:39:35.280 --> 08:39:39.480
What to do where they should have been able to read the hot cold and they kind of coming on that massive

08:39:39.480 --> 08:39:41.480
Adressing newers was underneath of the snake

08:39:41.480 --> 08:39:45.480
I think Kodak walked up that earlier into the space, but yeah, Darkseer is just not quite there yet.

08:39:47.480 --> 08:39:51.480
I think I did want to ask you, is it still there? You know a thing or two about this game?

08:39:51.480 --> 08:40:00.480
Gager's Pickering has been towards the bottom of all the operators. He's been in the sub 15 of the bottom 15 operators employed so far up this event.

08:40:00.480 --> 08:40:08.480
And yet, we've actually seen a fair bigger count so far. What is it that is suddenly shoving that German operator to be used by now? Both?

08:40:08.480 --> 08:40:12.720
Yeah, well first off I see an OSA and I want to know what that pick rate might be but

08:40:12.720 --> 08:40:17.680
at the end of the day I think something Jager does is against these split kind of taking

08:40:17.680 --> 08:40:21.360
teams it forces a little bit of teamwork so it forces you know people to come over here

08:40:21.360 --> 08:40:25.840
and have some clear but bring a batch or bring whatever type of burn that you might need so

08:40:25.840 --> 08:40:29.680
it forces again the team play which it's a nice little counter sometimes.

08:40:29.680 --> 08:40:35.400
OSA the seventh least picked operator so far at this event so I mean you're spot on with

08:40:35.400 --> 08:40:39.600
that frost the least picked operator of all very surprisingly been played one

08:40:39.600 --> 08:40:45.080
round so far also for a round up to this point that makes a lot of sense and I'm

08:40:45.080 --> 08:40:47.640
wondering if we're gonna see an old-school take here which was the

08:40:47.640 --> 08:40:51.880
oh so going down the kitchen hatch maybe they read into this defensive lineup

08:40:51.880 --> 08:40:55.680
that there is no actual impacts or anything to really stop that oh so

08:40:55.680 --> 08:40:59.600
plant which was a read that we used to have on old dark zero when we kind of

08:40:59.600 --> 08:41:03.960
figured out the state from me who was joined us from Eminem.

08:41:03.960 --> 08:41:05.320
Yeah, there.

08:41:05.320 --> 08:41:07.080
And yeah, this looks like, again,

08:41:07.080 --> 08:41:08.720
kind of looking at that prep.

08:41:08.720 --> 08:41:10.160
That is Zosa, thank you.

08:41:10.160 --> 08:41:12.000
Couple of nitrates here that you've got a worry about,

08:41:12.000 --> 08:41:14.000
of course, is an Osa player, but Baye on the Ozami

08:41:14.000 --> 08:41:16.200
not bringing impacts over on the barbed wire instead.

08:41:16.200 --> 08:41:18.160
Bit of a Rome presence that they're worried about too.

08:41:18.160 --> 08:41:19.480
Of course, hot and cold here using

08:41:19.480 --> 08:41:20.440
the aggressive new cameras.

08:41:20.440 --> 08:41:22.320
He will find the shield of Kino first,

08:41:22.320 --> 08:41:25.760
rips that nitro, but Kino able to back off, shoot that C4.

08:41:25.760 --> 08:41:27.080
And now hot and cold is on mission,

08:41:27.080 --> 08:41:28.640
waste as much time as possible.

08:41:28.640 --> 08:41:33.780
That bing goes off, he gets the kill, also gets the hatch from not going up to the high-rise.

08:41:33.780 --> 08:41:35.840
Pyros, a nice throw by Kino.

08:41:35.840 --> 08:41:40.120
Oddin knows that roll very well, and I'm sure that's a sweet one for Kino to take him down.

08:41:40.880 --> 08:41:45.560
Yeah, I mean, still two minutes of time left, wouldn't love to see Mag get one, maybe two,

08:41:45.560 --> 08:41:50.200
but we'll have some kind of cyber-crazy play there, but, I mean, at the end of the day, not gonna happen.

08:41:50.200 --> 08:41:55.500
I would like to see Wildcrow try to get a dress up here, because I'm really worried about this execute.

08:41:55.500 --> 08:41:56.820
Yeah, 50 seconds now to go.

08:41:56.820 --> 08:41:58.260
You've got Kandell's head by Jaina.

08:41:58.260 --> 08:42:00.260
I know you've got the Osa Shrink coming in for fault

08:42:00.260 --> 08:42:00.760
with the plant.

08:42:00.760 --> 08:42:02.760
So much utility in here, exactly right.

08:42:02.760 --> 08:42:03.900
The kitchen drop here to come.

08:42:03.900 --> 08:42:05.900
The double drop with both the shields out.

08:42:05.900 --> 08:42:08.940
Yes, Osa technically counts, but gassed so effectively

08:42:08.940 --> 08:42:09.620
by Spiker.

08:42:09.620 --> 08:42:10.260
Shut down.

08:42:10.260 --> 08:42:11.580
There's points gone.

08:42:11.580 --> 08:42:13.620
Osa will not be much of an impact here.

08:42:13.620 --> 08:42:15.780
Now Kino breathing in those same gases.

08:42:15.780 --> 08:42:17.060
Beating, looking for the back step.

08:42:17.060 --> 08:42:18.220
We'll find Baby Shark.

08:42:18.220 --> 08:42:19.580
Spiker gets yet another.

08:42:19.580 --> 08:42:22.220
This is very good defense.

08:42:22.220 --> 08:42:24.220
Maybe a small pause now as there's

08:42:24.220 --> 08:42:29.920
20 seconds left in the round. Case will need to be recovered by Guard Zero as a surrender from that drop.

08:42:29.920 --> 08:42:33.200
Newer takes down Bay. Wildcard will trail yet again.

08:42:33.200 --> 08:42:38.720
Barks Zero looking to go 2-2 on these attacks and they are in mighty good shape to do that.

08:42:40.240 --> 08:42:44.480
Newer is so damn good on attack that round. No, exception.

08:42:44.480 --> 08:42:50.240
The best attacking team in Salt Lake City showing up today on their own map pick of Clubhouse.

08:42:50.240 --> 08:42:53.960
2-0 to start this and Wildcard need to find a way to pump the brakes.

08:42:53.960 --> 08:42:57.320
It's just how they actually have to stop with the smoke.

08:43:00.200 --> 08:43:02.840
Same attacks, right? Let's bring in more traps from Cached Defaults, okay?

08:43:02.840 --> 08:43:03.840
Can I make out?

08:43:03.840 --> 08:43:05.840
Yeah, no, no. Cached Defaults, normal, okay?

08:43:05.840 --> 08:43:07.840
You play the Echo, okay, Jake? That was said before.

08:43:07.840 --> 08:43:09.440
Play the Echo, set the Rear, do the Game Frost.

08:43:09.440 --> 08:43:11.720
Shaq, complete the tourney and kill them. You complete the Loots.

08:43:11.720 --> 08:43:13.720
So, let's have some more traps, okay?

08:43:13.720 --> 08:43:17.120
Remember, they already did that Master Tier, so be careful and direct the bomb site, okay?

08:43:17.120 --> 08:43:18.400
But the playstyle was the same.

08:43:18.400 --> 08:43:20.320
What if we're going for a basement? If we return later.

08:43:20.320 --> 08:43:23.800
Let's put the same new chambers for Hot On Cold, top floor, but we don't need anyone right there.

08:43:23.800 --> 08:43:25.140
They are a little bit slow, right?

08:43:25.140 --> 08:43:25.640
Yeah.

08:43:25.640 --> 08:43:26.140
Sorry, how to go?

08:43:26.140 --> 08:43:26.640
No.

08:43:26.640 --> 08:43:28.760
You can play the Goyo, Spiker, open with the smoke,

08:43:28.760 --> 08:43:29.560
the rotation stops.

08:43:29.560 --> 08:43:31.280
So let's bait, that's what we play, bunker.

08:43:31.280 --> 08:43:34.160
Like, in the T2 execution, just anticipate a little bit,

08:43:34.160 --> 08:43:35.680
anticipate a little bit, moral hatch,

08:43:35.680 --> 08:43:37.760
a little bit like, pre-hatch, and that's it, OK?

08:43:37.760 --> 08:43:39.640
When you go, team, don't forget about it.

08:43:39.640 --> 08:43:41.320
It's important we tune a behavior, right?

08:43:41.320 --> 08:43:42.680
So they're going to speed with behavior.

08:43:42.680 --> 08:43:43.880
We do the rotation in that case.

08:43:43.880 --> 08:43:45.240
Yes, CC.

08:43:45.240 --> 08:43:47.160
Lots of information being relayed by Lagona.

08:43:47.160 --> 08:43:49.600
It's very operator-specific intel coming out for him

08:43:49.600 --> 08:43:50.720
and his teammates, too.

08:43:50.720 --> 08:43:52.400
Looking for a bit of echo play for half.

08:43:52.400 --> 08:43:55.360
looking for some go-yo play, and then focusing in on the traps,

08:43:55.360 --> 08:43:57.600
wanting to see these different operators used out.

08:43:57.600 --> 08:43:58.840
And when you're going up against Anosa,

08:43:58.840 --> 08:44:00.840
and especially when you're going up against this Blitz,

08:44:00.840 --> 08:44:03.280
the Kino has been running a lot here on these attacks.

08:44:03.280 --> 08:44:05.920
Sometimes those stall operators, those trap operators,

08:44:05.920 --> 08:44:08.120
can be really impactful to stop that momentum.

08:44:08.120 --> 08:44:09.480
I said they have to pump the brakes.

08:44:09.480 --> 08:44:11.160
That could be a good way to do it.

08:44:11.160 --> 08:44:12.920
Yeah, I mean, you just said it right there

08:44:12.920 --> 08:44:14.000
with the stall operators.

08:44:14.000 --> 08:44:16.720
I think Lagornus, aka Lagornus,

08:44:16.720 --> 08:44:18.560
is kind of breeding into Dark Zero,

08:44:18.560 --> 08:44:20.240
being really slow on these attacks.

08:44:20.240 --> 08:44:25.060
I mean every round is like 20 seconds kind of left and remaining and these guys just keep clutching up

08:44:25.060 --> 08:44:27.900
So let's add some late-round utility. Let's play off of some echoes

08:44:27.900 --> 08:44:32.660
Let's play off of some loyal farms and here we're gonna see even thorn for those late rounds as well

08:44:34.220 --> 08:44:38.700
Stal potentials been the name of the game so far you highlighted when guard zero was defending now

08:44:39.220 --> 08:44:41.220
Wildcard will do the same

08:44:41.500 --> 08:44:47.460
For those that have been asleep for the last year or so you might be very confused as to thorns pick rate

08:44:47.460 --> 08:44:53.100
But she received a number of buffs during stage two of last year has now become a very critical operator

08:44:53.100 --> 08:45:00.140
and only one of the highest provenance actually of all the defenders really good for soft pressure good for Intel and also

08:45:00.140 --> 08:45:03.200
There's kill potential especially if you're worried about that razor bloom killing you

08:45:03.420 --> 08:45:06.220
You might want to take the body again when the casual get you out

08:45:07.260 --> 08:45:12.020
It's hard to find a better form player than baby shark to it's his most played operator here at the Salt Lake City Major

08:45:12.020 --> 08:45:14.700
He's got a 60% right on this off

08:45:14.700 --> 08:45:20.560
So you know how good wildcard can be they're kind of falling back into some comfort picks Bay here on the echoes a fun one, too

08:45:20.560 --> 08:45:23.100
You don't really think about Bay as a hard support echo player

08:45:23.100 --> 08:45:27.540
But he's so good with this until be one of the best echoes in all in all of North America really

08:45:27.840 --> 08:45:32.900
Yeah, and wildcard love to use vision usually it's a lot of out in echo play in their defenses

08:45:32.900 --> 08:45:37.140
I actually think they're ahead of the meta on that against a lot of certain teams because the attack

08:45:37.500 --> 08:45:39.220
With the new snake operator

08:45:39.220 --> 08:45:45.140
It's the information meta on a tax the only way or one of the ways to counter that a lot of you are finding is to bring the information

08:45:45.140 --> 08:45:49.380
And to figure out what exactly the attack is doing and then we heard the go to say once you've got what they're doing

08:45:49.380 --> 08:45:51.740
Then we have our reaction then we have a response

08:45:52.860 --> 08:45:54.860
information

08:45:55.540 --> 08:45:59.380
You gotta bring it up bring Intel you bring Intel I bring Intel it was like that a whole

08:46:00.100 --> 08:46:06.060
Bulletproof meta where you have to bring grenades you had to bring explosives as response to the defenders

08:46:06.060 --> 08:46:11.400
Not not a fan of this. I think the first time this was brought out was souls, right?

08:46:11.400 --> 08:46:16.200
You basically think this black beer would be the ACOG and you actually cannot see this guy.

08:46:16.200 --> 08:46:19.860
This one is the best place to kind of go to the Rappler and everything just jumping over. Wow.

08:46:20.580 --> 08:46:23.740
No response to that, right? How else are you going to try to force this guy out?

08:46:23.740 --> 08:46:26.540
They try to get aggressive. It's like a worried about what could come next babe

08:46:26.540 --> 08:46:30.100
and wanting to get aggressive on the echo here again. He's an aggro player.

08:46:30.100 --> 08:46:33.940
This is what he does for enough offering in anything. Intel you've got the smokes.

08:46:33.940 --> 08:46:38.020
you still got the flames of J9O so Wildcard a little worried about playing

08:46:38.020 --> 08:46:42.340
too standard too passive and letting dark zeros utility do all the talking a

08:46:42.340 --> 08:46:45.620
great operator in the hands of baby shark he'll lead off the killing on the

08:46:45.620 --> 08:46:50.100
side of Wildcard now it's Bay engaging with the blackbeard dancing around that

08:46:50.100 --> 08:46:53.580
grenade as it sails in over his head.

08:46:53.580 --> 08:46:58.140
Bosco showed us how much damage this can do and Bay is suffering for it right now.

08:46:58.140 --> 08:47:02.820
Down he goes to Kino similar position baby shark now for backup he's gotta read

08:47:02.820 --> 08:47:06.880
He doesn't walk on in smoke will go good patience here from the Frenchman

08:47:06.880 --> 08:47:12.660
And what a spray transfer he misses it will come back to haunt him J9O shuts him down

08:47:12.660 --> 08:47:19.980
Wait a moment wildcars bailed them out of this position the ghosts of J9O in a 1v2

08:47:20.940 --> 08:47:26.900
Good utility everything was starting off so well for guard zero, but it's fallen by the wayside. Here are the razor blooms

08:47:27.180 --> 08:47:31.540
They know that even the smallest bit him and his daddy wanders into the gas concealed by the smoke

08:47:31.540 --> 08:47:37.860
wild card win a much needed round much needed and off the time out from the

08:47:37.860 --> 08:47:41.700
bonus I mean those were some great adaptions they took some early engagements

08:47:41.700 --> 08:47:44.660
to in the garage door fights that I actually didn't even mind with they

08:47:44.660 --> 08:47:47.620
getting aggressive with that echo hindsight but I think he was actually

08:47:47.620 --> 08:47:51.500
pretty safe from that cap to a fire to play with Harry or basically underneath

08:47:51.500 --> 08:47:55.100
the stairs yeah but he went for the fight but we needed baby shark to show up

08:47:55.100 --> 08:47:58.260
and he did yeah really important for baby shark to come aggressive especially

08:47:58.260 --> 08:48:02.220
playing with his team right Bay and baby shark that's the entry duo on wild card

08:48:02.220 --> 08:48:05.520
that's the duo that you expect to see out there on the roam so to see them

08:48:05.520 --> 08:48:08.860
having that coordination it's not just Bay all by himself on the echo making a

08:48:08.860 --> 08:48:12.220
play he's got that teammate to support him so it's nice to see wild card coming

08:48:12.220 --> 08:48:15.860
back out here with an aggressive defense after losing too straight after

08:48:15.860 --> 08:48:18.620
having kind of your back against the wall it's good to see that aggression

08:48:18.620 --> 08:48:22.740
coming back that was the first round gentlemen where the team that struck

08:48:22.740 --> 08:48:27.780
first did not convert it to a round victory so so far the name of the game

08:48:27.780 --> 08:48:30.300
If you draw the first kill, go from there.

08:48:30.300 --> 08:48:31.860
There's a trade all the way back around, number one.

08:48:31.860 --> 08:48:34.420
But since then, the team that has opened the scoring

08:48:34.420 --> 08:48:36.660
has gone on to carry that forward.

08:48:36.660 --> 08:48:38.900
White clockwork, we highlight the way

08:48:38.900 --> 08:48:40.500
that teams can convert that first blood.

08:48:40.500 --> 08:48:44.420
Usually the number is somewhere around 75 to 80%.

08:48:44.420 --> 08:48:46.420
Here, well, it's well beyond that.

08:48:46.420 --> 08:48:48.700
So when you're a team like DZ, when

08:48:48.700 --> 08:48:50.420
you are an amazing attacking team,

08:48:50.420 --> 08:48:53.300
when you've got a guy like Newers who is usually so good at it,

08:48:53.300 --> 08:48:54.780
he makes it look effortless.

08:48:54.780 --> 08:49:01.780
If DSE is able to keep up these opening duels and they have the first one in every round of their attack so far,

08:49:01.780 --> 08:49:05.780
that is going to constantly put so much heat on the defenders of Wilde.

08:49:05.780 --> 08:49:11.780
Makes things so much more difficult for those roamers, of course, on a wildcard, but it makes it so critical they have to come in and get those frags.

08:49:11.780 --> 08:49:14.780
We had Bay at the halftime, with 8 and 3 coming into this.

08:49:14.780 --> 08:49:18.780
Haven't found the scoreboard over these last couple of rounds, but look who's stepping it up.

08:49:18.780 --> 08:49:23.540
Hands in now time his teammate for top right here on the lobby. He's been a huge performer and again

08:49:23.540 --> 08:49:27.860
I'm not saying that they has not had big moments. I think he was important in that last one

08:49:27.860 --> 08:49:29.860
But really nice to see him stepping up

08:49:32.860 --> 08:49:34.860
Going to be by some hot

08:49:35.980 --> 08:49:41.720
He's either hot or he's cold or I should see him a seven and six yard. He may be time to back off here

08:49:44.060 --> 08:49:46.060
You're gonna you're gonna be in the video now

08:49:46.060 --> 08:49:48.760
Yeah, I'm already in enough of those videos. It's okay

08:49:51.980 --> 08:49:56.740
Love your fans. All right, we do see operator bands by the way, I was actually surprised

08:49:58.060 --> 08:50:02.320
I was actually surprised they ran the map the first round prior when thermite was up

08:50:02.320 --> 08:50:05.340
Maybe they didn't have enough information folks was on that now. We're gonna see

08:50:07.620 --> 08:50:10.860
Now walls are gonna be nice and easy for NJR newers to open up

08:50:10.980 --> 08:50:13.780
That's not opening to where you're talking about cast across a little bit

08:50:13.780 --> 08:50:17.540
Tansen's gonna be the first to fall, so that gives a heavy advantage over towards Dark Zero.

08:50:17.540 --> 08:50:19.380
Again, they haven't really cleared that catch-side.

08:50:19.380 --> 08:50:21.380
Both these teams favoring to go a little bit more direct,

08:50:21.380 --> 08:50:24.060
not taking out as much map control when they go for these pushes.

08:50:24.060 --> 08:50:26.060
Still plenty of time though for DZ to work with.

08:50:26.060 --> 08:50:28.380
They can walk inside a rafters, they can hunt for more frags,

08:50:28.380 --> 08:50:30.380
and that's exactly what they're doing.

08:50:31.780 --> 08:50:34.980
Yeah, looks like they want to get Bay out of the lounge position.

08:50:37.460 --> 08:50:40.580
A nasty shot by Neewer's answered back by Damian Shark.

08:50:40.580 --> 08:50:46.580
He's gone to J9-0, he's punished by NJR holding this cross inside of construction.

08:50:46.580 --> 08:50:51.580
Things have gone very bad in the state of Wildcard over the last 20 seconds.

08:50:51.580 --> 08:50:55.580
I mean, when Newer's hitting shots like that to break double digits, what on earth are you to do?

08:50:55.580 --> 08:50:59.580
More players on the side of DZ, but more IGL still up on the side of Wildcard.

08:50:59.580 --> 08:51:03.580
They can try to put their heads together and work their way out of this man disadvantage.

08:51:03.580 --> 08:51:06.580
My worry is the time. There's so much still to play with for DarkZero.

08:51:06.580 --> 08:51:10.740
They thought that accused get in their hands about util as well. What's the game plan here to claw things back?

08:51:10.740 --> 08:51:15.100
I mean, it's just gonna be a normal window take that and they took the cash side is gonna be a really default

08:51:15.100 --> 08:51:18.900
But spikeers already reading into this. He has to hold this gym window here. You've got to get aggressive

08:51:18.900 --> 08:51:21.580
But there's no ring in force to be there now. I'm gonna go for a rat play

08:51:22.300 --> 08:51:24.580
Foltz doesn't see this. No, he's got a good read

08:51:25.780 --> 08:51:30.060
Dark zero moving to map points in a hurry

08:51:30.060 --> 08:51:49.060
history repeating itself here clubhouse has been such a problem that for wildcard in his head to head versus dark zero of course we saw 7 3 domination back on Tuesday when DZ beat their regional opponents here on club and now two more opportunities to just the same.

08:51:49.060 --> 08:51:51.660
You guys talk about the improvement, though.

08:51:51.660 --> 08:51:52.660
Hey, we got four rounds.

08:51:52.660 --> 08:51:53.660
You're right.

08:51:53.660 --> 08:51:54.660
You're right.

08:51:54.660 --> 08:51:55.660
You're right.

08:51:55.660 --> 08:51:56.660
You're right.

08:51:56.660 --> 08:51:57.660
It's not over.

08:51:57.660 --> 08:52:01.580
The third time they play this map, who won it?

08:52:01.580 --> 08:52:02.580
Watch out.

08:52:02.580 --> 08:52:05.260
Well, that's actually something I wanted to bring up, and I was kind of hoping in this

08:52:05.260 --> 08:52:09.380
series is something we have at the high levels, like the rematch theory, the best of three

08:52:09.380 --> 08:52:10.380
theory.

08:52:10.380 --> 08:52:13.940
It's usually the team that loses the prior best of three.

08:52:13.940 --> 08:52:18.020
They do the most learning in the body view, and they're going to win the next best of

08:52:18.020 --> 08:52:21.100
three and you know that's totally me coping right now yes I would like to see

08:52:21.100 --> 08:52:25.420
the stat on that I did notice that they brought a copium tank over here I was

08:52:25.420 --> 08:52:27.620
wondering what it was

08:52:27.620 --> 08:52:32.980
hitting it in between each round I mean I think that is that is mostly correct

08:52:32.980 --> 08:52:35.460
right there's I think there's ego I think there's complacency I think

08:52:35.460 --> 08:52:39.580
this preparation all of which play into that theory but Wildcard are gonna be an

08:52:39.580 --> 08:52:43.260
aberration they are not playing at their full five and while Han cold is a

08:52:43.260 --> 08:52:47.820
terrific player and is in arguably a huge part of why Wildcard even with a

08:52:47.820 --> 08:52:51.420
Sub have been able to make top eight at this event.

08:52:51.420 --> 08:52:52.780
They're still not at full potential.

08:52:52.780 --> 08:52:54.980
If they had Adrian and they made it to the top eight,

08:52:54.980 --> 08:52:57.860
yeah, I think there's a good chance

08:52:57.860 --> 08:52:59.740
that we could see Wildcard more competitive.

08:52:59.740 --> 08:53:01.500
Well, listen, substitute or not, Wildcard

08:53:01.500 --> 08:53:02.820
will have to put all of their hopes

08:53:02.820 --> 08:53:03.900
here in these next two rounds.

08:53:03.900 --> 08:53:05.140
They've gone back down to the basement,

08:53:05.140 --> 08:53:06.300
a site they lost last time,

08:53:06.300 --> 08:53:08.180
but the one difference they've made in the off pool,

08:53:08.180 --> 08:53:09.500
they brought hot and cold on the goal.

08:53:09.500 --> 08:53:10.940
This is something that Donis called for,

08:53:10.940 --> 08:53:13.060
an attack timeout, it's something he wanted to see.

08:53:13.060 --> 08:53:15.180
Previously on the mute, now changing things up,

08:53:15.180 --> 08:53:17.140
makes their tunnel a lot more difficult to clear through,

08:53:17.140 --> 08:53:20.140
and that's exactly where Dark Zero are poking around.

08:53:20.140 --> 08:53:21.340
Yeah, I think this was a great call.

08:53:21.340 --> 08:53:23.500
They faked that roam again, but they got off the mute.

08:53:23.500 --> 08:53:26.100
They expected them to go for dirt and ignore the roam

08:53:26.100 --> 08:53:27.900
that they were doing the previous round.

08:53:27.900 --> 08:53:29.740
Now they have to go and free these Goyo fire,

08:53:29.740 --> 08:53:31.660
or these Vulcan canisters that early,

08:53:31.660 --> 08:53:32.900
which is a good play by Kino.

08:53:32.900 --> 08:53:34.420
Anyway, this is why you bring the Blackbeard,

08:53:34.420 --> 08:53:35.380
just so you have these nades.

08:53:35.380 --> 08:53:36.700
You get rid of the Vulcans.

08:53:36.700 --> 08:53:39.180
This gives you the option to go dirt late.

08:53:39.180 --> 08:53:41.340
Absolutely no roam game at all here.

08:53:41.340 --> 08:53:43.420
So Wildcrow are happy to just sit in their site,

08:53:43.420 --> 08:53:45.140
wait behind their Goyo canisters,

08:53:45.140 --> 08:53:47.100
giving up some space towards Dark Zero.

08:53:47.100 --> 08:53:50.460
Little bit concerned about that just because we do have a lot of utsils still on this DZ side

08:53:50.460 --> 08:53:55.420
I'm looking at a ying and looking at a capitao. They can get these hatches open if they can get ready for a strong execute

08:53:55.420 --> 08:53:57.860
It's gonna be maybe awkward for wildcard to hold things down

08:53:58.380 --> 08:54:00.380
and then all these dark zero silhouettes are

08:54:01.060 --> 08:54:07.260
Trapped on over towards the end of dirt tunnel. You think that this will be a pretty quick execute on the kitchen once all is said and done here

08:54:07.260 --> 08:54:10.060
Kyle I think that's exactly where it's going and I'm a little worried

08:54:10.060 --> 08:54:12.060
I just looked down and saw the capitao and I'm like

08:54:12.060 --> 08:54:16.300
Because that's usually a very strong operator to attack the kitchen side.

08:54:16.300 --> 08:54:19.660
Once you have dirt control, then they got the fires, they can fire on anyone.

08:54:19.660 --> 08:54:23.420
Canine, church door, it just makes it extremely hard to hold.

08:54:23.420 --> 08:54:26.060
Trying to save this utility coming through with the nades.

08:54:26.060 --> 08:54:30.060
Of course, still 5v5 as we expect for this bombslay with no normers on the board.

08:54:30.060 --> 08:54:31.420
J9 know where the cord's blue.

08:54:31.420 --> 08:54:34.460
That's going to likely be where we see Ivory the Grim where the Capitals coming through

08:54:34.460 --> 08:54:37.980
makes that position really annoying to try to hold on to for Wildcard.

08:54:37.980 --> 08:54:40.300
In that position, you've got the Azami, you've got Bay.

08:54:40.300 --> 08:54:45.580
He has been critical for wildcard success so far in this game. You'll have to have another big round from inside blue

08:54:46.660 --> 08:54:51.580
Yeah, I mean just the storm holding down blue, but you called it with the cap. That's actually rotating over the stock

08:54:51.740 --> 08:54:58.060
Looks like we're gonna go quick on the dirt position here. You know looking for a follow-up off the candela an opportunity for Han cold

08:54:58.060 --> 08:54:59.940
He no makes no mistake about it

08:54:59.940 --> 08:55:04.980
There's the first one from wildcard taking down dark zero with 40 seconds to go holding on to this numbers advantage

08:55:05.660 --> 08:55:09.380
Hoping to hook these claws in a little bit deeper. They'll get one

08:55:10.300 --> 08:55:25.300
It's the man of the hour, Mr. Attacker himself, Neuer's a dozen kills, make that another, DZ sweep through them and take their own map. Dark Zero, what that blame for moving on to the sevenths.

08:55:25.300 --> 08:55:36.300
Ethan James, Neuer's won a round to close things out, the multi-kill key on the attack, a massive performance from DZ, but it's their own map pick and it's still a long series.

08:55:36.300 --> 08:55:41.300
It is their own map, Nick, but I'm a little worried because we're following the pattern of the previous game where

08:55:41.300 --> 08:55:50.300
Newers, he had his best career game ever against these guys, 13-4, 13-6, not far off, baby shark, 7-10, kind of negative at the moment too.

08:55:50.300 --> 08:55:53.300
We're not seeing the players that we need to see, uh, they get the map green.

08:55:53.300 --> 08:55:57.300
You're never in trouble today to lose at home, if Wildcard lose at home, that's the ball game.

08:55:57.300 --> 08:56:00.300
What happens on corner? We'll find out in a few minutes.

09:01:36.300 --> 09:02:02.020
We're here in Salt Lake City where we've put some of the best seeded players in the

09:02:02.020 --> 09:02:07.860
world in a one versus one versus one trivia contest. Who's the youngest player here?

09:02:07.860 --> 09:02:12.340
Thanks, Spiker. It's me. Spiker Classic. Spiker the youngest out here. It's always going to be you.

09:02:12.340 --> 09:02:17.940
These will be questions about operator lore. You guys should be pretty good at this, right?

09:02:17.940 --> 09:02:19.860
Hopefully. Policy? No.

09:02:19.860 --> 09:02:21.380
Should I just check your head? No.

09:02:21.380 --> 09:02:24.420
Who's the shortest player left here in Salt Lake City?

09:02:24.420 --> 09:02:25.220
Can you lie? I guess.

09:02:27.540 --> 09:02:28.660
No points for that one.

09:02:28.660 --> 09:02:32.140
Which gadget enables an operator in a wheelchair

09:02:32.140 --> 09:02:33.860
to be active on duty?

09:02:33.860 --> 09:02:35.740
We're looking for the exact name of the gadget.

09:02:35.740 --> 09:02:37.500
It's just called the Scopo Show?

09:02:37.500 --> 09:02:39.140
Almost, you missed a couple of words in there.

09:02:39.140 --> 09:02:40.100
There's four words in there?

09:02:40.100 --> 09:02:42.700
There are, well, one of them is some letters, some numbers.

09:02:42.700 --> 09:02:43.540
Oh, my gosh.

09:02:43.540 --> 09:02:48.460
It is Scopo's V10 Pantheon Cells.

09:02:48.460 --> 09:02:49.460
That sound familiar?

09:02:49.460 --> 09:02:50.300
No, no.

09:02:50.300 --> 09:02:52.940
I've never heard that in my life.

09:02:52.940 --> 09:02:55.940
What is the name of Blitz's Special Forces?

09:02:55.940 --> 09:02:58.380
DSD, oh, DSD Spine?

09:02:58.380 --> 09:03:00.360
to be one of them. Pick one, and I'll take it.

09:03:00.360 --> 09:03:01.020
Yes, team mate.

09:03:01.020 --> 09:03:05.100
Correct. Good point there.

09:03:05.100 --> 09:03:06.540
That was a wild time to record.

09:03:06.540 --> 09:03:08.980
I looked ridiculous, but the players were into it.

09:03:08.980 --> 09:03:12.620
It was fun, and hopefully people will get a kick out of that.

09:03:12.620 --> 09:03:15.600
But DarkZero, they take the win to start things off here

09:03:15.600 --> 09:03:16.700
on Clubhouse.

09:03:16.700 --> 09:03:19.100
That is why you don't take DarkZero to Clubhouse.

09:03:19.100 --> 09:03:20.620
Fox, we saw it in front of us.

09:03:20.620 --> 09:03:22.500
They were simply the better team.

09:03:22.500 --> 09:03:25.340
I think it really just came down to the experience aspect.

09:03:25.340 --> 09:03:26.580
No hate onto Wildcard.

09:03:26.580 --> 09:03:27.860
They played a hell of a game, but it

09:03:27.860 --> 09:03:29.940
It felt like the casters were saying,

09:03:29.940 --> 09:03:32.380
when it came down for the last couple of seconds,

09:03:32.380 --> 09:03:34.020
that's where DZ arrived.

09:03:34.020 --> 09:03:35.500
They were just doing amazing.

09:03:35.500 --> 09:03:37.940
And when it came down to the big individual plays,

09:03:37.940 --> 09:03:38.900
that's what we saw.

09:03:38.900 --> 09:03:42.100
Not only was a great team play, but great clutches.

09:03:42.100 --> 09:03:45.500
I mean, NJR in round three in a nice 1v2 situation.

09:03:45.500 --> 09:03:48.620
Bay was able to get two picks pushing into the site.

09:03:48.620 --> 09:03:50.300
But then NJR clutched up in a 1v2.

09:03:50.300 --> 09:03:52.220
And that was something that was so beautiful for me.

09:03:52.220 --> 09:03:54.460
And this is what we talked about, being a turret.

09:03:54.460 --> 09:03:55.620
He's locked in a position.

09:03:55.620 --> 09:04:05.540
Hell of a sell still back against the wall he gets to and then it goes without saying I mean yours is big clutch himself to be able to push this round that much closer to being a secure win.

09:04:05.540 --> 09:04:07.900
I mean this three came from him locked in a church.

09:04:07.900 --> 09:04:15.180
He realized that the fuselage way too far away couldn't get to his team so he took matters into his own hands was able to handle it all on his own.

09:04:15.300 --> 09:04:15.500
Yeah.

09:04:15.500 --> 09:04:16.980
Neuers was definitely firing on cylinders.

09:04:16.980 --> 09:04:20.700
I mean there was multiple occasions where Neuers was just getting multi-frags like you're saying.

09:04:20.700 --> 09:04:21.860
NJR just being a center.

09:04:21.860 --> 09:04:24.300
I mean, 82, I mean, when you just look at the cost

09:04:24.300 --> 09:04:26.620
from both sides, I mean, clearly, everyone

09:04:26.620 --> 09:04:27.900
is trying to show up as best they can.

09:04:27.900 --> 09:04:29.900
But again, DarkZero, just a little ahead of the curve.

09:04:29.900 --> 09:04:31.980
They're newers, playing exceptionally well.

09:04:31.980 --> 09:04:34.500
But again, one thing I really want to highlight outside

09:04:34.500 --> 09:04:36.420
of just newers is those opening kills.

09:04:36.420 --> 09:04:37.620
We heard Parker talk about it.

09:04:37.620 --> 09:04:39.540
There was only one round out of those opening kills

09:04:39.540 --> 09:04:40.900
that it wasn't converted.

09:04:40.900 --> 09:04:44.340
Opening kills really led the way for either side, who

09:04:44.340 --> 09:04:45.220
as ever were getting in.

09:04:45.220 --> 09:04:47.020
Clearly, if you look on the side of DarkZero,

09:04:47.020 --> 09:04:49.380
they were running away with those opening things.

09:04:49.380 --> 09:04:50.020
They sure were.

09:04:50.020 --> 09:04:52.660
And even in those situations, that seemed very clutch

09:04:52.660 --> 09:04:53.780
appropriate for Wildcard.

09:04:53.780 --> 09:04:56.140
Han cold inside of Lodgy in the 2v4.

09:04:56.140 --> 09:04:59.260
A lot of these situations, it felt like Wildcard, Han cold

09:04:59.260 --> 09:05:00.780
most of the time, was on his own.

09:05:00.780 --> 09:05:02.860
He had to be able to get that man advantage back.

09:05:02.860 --> 09:05:04.220
And he tried his absolute best.

09:05:04.220 --> 09:05:05.780
But at the end of the day, you've

09:05:05.780 --> 09:05:08.020
got five DZ players running at you in Sturt Club.

09:05:08.020 --> 09:05:09.380
There's nothing you can do about it.

09:05:09.380 --> 09:05:11.060
I mean, in one way, I'm glad that you mentioned that,

09:05:11.060 --> 09:05:13.620
because he did almost find success in that one top floor

09:05:13.620 --> 09:05:16.220
round, where he did just over-aggress and he gets picked

09:05:16.220 --> 09:05:17.100
off from behind.

09:05:17.100 --> 09:05:18.540
But even in that basement round,

09:05:18.540 --> 09:05:20.340
He gets pushed all the way into the strip.

09:05:20.340 --> 09:05:22.740
I mean, I would almost say go back to a turtle.

09:05:22.740 --> 09:05:24.580
Have that little man advantage below,

09:05:24.580 --> 09:05:27.580
being able to make this round go more into their favor,

09:05:27.580 --> 09:05:30.940
just losing a death like that with no trade potential,

09:05:30.940 --> 09:05:32.340
no one able to save him.

09:05:32.340 --> 09:05:33.980
I need to see him more with the team,

09:05:33.980 --> 09:05:35.700
especially in a dire situation now

09:05:35.700 --> 09:05:36.860
where they don't have a lifeline.

09:05:36.860 --> 09:05:38.140
Yeah, backs against the wall.

09:05:38.140 --> 09:05:40.060
Wildcard need a win.

09:05:40.060 --> 09:05:43.260
So maybe for some inspiration, our very own Ian Chambers

09:05:43.260 --> 09:05:47.220
sat down with Hot and Cold's family ahead of this map.

09:05:47.220 --> 09:05:53.340
you never forget your very first e-sports event, especially if that first event features

09:05:53.340 --> 09:05:58.900
your son performing on stage. That is the case right here for Kristen. Kristen, you

09:05:58.900 --> 09:06:02.380
are hot and cold, Mum. How much are you enjoying this experience?

09:06:02.380 --> 09:06:07.780
Thanks so much. I'm so blessed to be here. Nothing was going to keep me from coming here.

09:06:07.780 --> 09:06:10.700
How proud are you of him? Extremely proud of him. I am his biggest

09:06:10.700 --> 09:06:13.460
fan, always. Do you think he's going to come back? I mean,

09:06:13.460 --> 09:06:14.460
look. Oh, yeah. Of course.

09:06:14.460 --> 09:06:20.300
You go we're going three maps. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Nick is here too. Now Nick hot and cold job, brother

09:06:20.460 --> 09:06:23.860
Does this feel like an emotional moment to see him perform live?

09:06:24.500 --> 09:06:28.880
It's sure a cool moment for sure. I'd say it's cool

09:06:29.340 --> 09:06:35.700
Interesting when you've been watching him online, I guess did you imagine what an event like this would be like to see it live

09:06:35.700 --> 09:06:39.020
And in person I tried to imagine but until you're here you can't

09:06:39.700 --> 09:06:42.780
Yeah, yeah, so he's gonna win. Yeah, of course

09:06:42.780 --> 09:06:47.020
Kristen is lovely to meet you. I hope you enjoy the rest of this event and for your sake

09:06:47.020 --> 09:06:48.860
I hope he goes on to win this thing. He will

09:06:49.820 --> 09:06:51.820
Thank you very much back to you guys

09:06:55.580 --> 09:07:01.780
Wild card moments away from diving into this one and as we said they need a little bit of energy

09:07:01.780 --> 09:07:06.620
They need that comeback and you know, maybe that can power hot and cold up a little bit see his favorite there in the crowd

09:07:06.620 --> 09:07:08.020
There's nothing like a mother's support

09:07:08.020 --> 09:07:13.420
I mean there's nothing that can come closer to and I think she is absolutely right and being able to have faith in hot and cold

09:07:13.420 --> 09:07:16.940
And the rest of boys wild card to make something you love to see it at the end of the day

09:07:16.940 --> 09:07:20.620
Even if he's not able to push in win this series win this tournament

09:07:20.620 --> 09:07:24.540
I'm sure we're gonna see hot cold yet again on the main stage in the future

09:07:24.540 --> 09:07:32.260
Well border is next and we've got our fantastic try cast standing by and ready to go in tarot Jesse and mint take it away

09:07:32.860 --> 09:07:37.680
Well, I know it baby wasn't the result that you wanted but you can't say it wasn't a good map mint

09:07:38.020 --> 09:07:46.020
I'm cold, certainly far from the problem, but again, Wildcard, they've been kind of running up hill this entire event, and it might just be too steep of a climb.

09:07:46.020 --> 09:07:51.020
I mean, hey, I'm going to Salt Lake City Mountain. It looks like they're, uh, well, you can't Uber to the top of the mountain, that's for sure.

09:07:51.020 --> 09:08:02.020
So, is this the end of the road for Wildcard? Porter awaits us, and, yeah, man, I'm going to ask you, are we going to map three?

09:08:02.020 --> 09:08:13.020
Yeah, just just have a little bit more of that cope, you know, and I think we are going to map 3, but me and Jesse were we were just talking about this map pick coming out from wild card, which is actually quite interesting.

09:08:13.020 --> 09:08:15.020
It's not even one of their favorite maps.

09:08:15.020 --> 09:08:21.020
No, I'm talking to them before the event. They actually have no idea even what their map poll is. Maybe they're just like, Hey, maybe orders are map.

09:08:21.020 --> 09:08:23.620
But traditionally this is not a wild card map.

09:08:23.620 --> 09:08:27.420
And so them picking it here doesn't make a lot of sense.

09:08:27.420 --> 09:08:31.420
Unless you're looking at Dark Zeros map rate as well,

09:08:31.420 --> 09:08:34.620
where they lost 3-7, I believe it was, to...

09:08:34.620 --> 09:08:37.320
Yeah, to shop Fireballion, back during the kickoff playoffs.

09:08:37.320 --> 09:08:39.120
Which I don't even think is the strongest border team,

09:08:39.120 --> 09:08:42.820
so I'm expecting Lagownas again, hopefully having good prep on border.

09:08:42.820 --> 09:08:45.420
But the biggest problem that last map for me was the opening kills,

09:08:45.420 --> 09:08:47.420
only having three opening kills.

09:08:47.420 --> 09:08:49.020
They don't have any pushing power.

09:08:49.020 --> 09:08:51.700
They didn't run a shield a single time.

09:08:51.700 --> 09:08:54.260
I would expect that to change on a map like border.

09:08:54.260 --> 09:08:55.700
Yeah, border is so important too.

09:08:55.700 --> 09:08:57.980
Those opening frags can be even more critical.

09:08:57.980 --> 09:09:00.300
So you've got kind of a really important goal

09:09:00.300 --> 09:09:01.700
in front of you for wild card.

09:09:01.700 --> 09:09:03.060
Find some of those entries.

09:09:03.060 --> 09:09:04.620
Sink your teeth into a little bit.

09:09:04.620 --> 09:09:05.460
You mentioned it.

09:09:05.460 --> 09:09:06.540
This is a bit of a curve ball pick.

09:09:06.540 --> 09:09:09.580
We don't expect wild cards to be picking a map like border,

09:09:09.580 --> 09:09:11.420
but they do it out of maybe desperation.

09:09:11.420 --> 09:09:13.380
They've played DZ so many times in the past.

09:09:13.380 --> 09:09:14.500
They've lost 2-0.

09:09:14.500 --> 09:09:16.380
They've struggled on some of their own map picks.

09:09:16.380 --> 09:09:17.980
So throw a bit of a curve ball in there.

09:09:17.980 --> 09:09:21.620
The only time we've seen this wildcard team play on boarder,

09:09:21.620 --> 09:09:25.220
the factoring Cloud9 against Cloud in the kickoffs,

09:09:25.220 --> 09:09:26.740
that was an 8-6 win.

09:09:26.740 --> 09:09:29.380
So a win, but very scrappy.

09:09:29.380 --> 09:09:31.300
And I'm going to run on a limb here and say,

09:09:31.300 --> 09:09:33.140
Dark Zero are a better team than Cloud9.

09:09:33.140 --> 09:09:35.180
I don't know how you can say such brash things

09:09:35.180 --> 09:09:37.060
on a podcast like that.

09:09:37.060 --> 09:09:38.940
That's a crazy, that's a heater right there.

09:09:38.940 --> 09:09:39.780
That's a-

09:09:39.780 --> 09:09:41.420
They bring me in for the hot takes.

09:09:41.420 --> 09:09:42.780
That's why you're here.

09:09:42.780 --> 09:09:45.100
To your point about the first bloods in the previous half,

09:09:45.100 --> 09:09:47.820
every single player on Dark Zero.

09:09:47.820 --> 09:09:52.580
Struck first all five of the players drawing first blood at least once

09:09:53.420 --> 09:09:57.540
Of course across both attack and defense. So that is a well-oiled machine and again

09:09:58.140 --> 09:10:03.920
Dark zero and they assembled this roster taking the core of space station gaming. The concern was

09:10:04.380 --> 09:10:08.060
Bragging, but if all of them are fragging and bragging first

09:10:08.380 --> 09:10:11.660
Yeah, well, I mean, I suppose they can all kind of shoulder some of that

09:10:11.660 --> 09:10:17.660
Yeah, on a map like Borders, it doesn't really even matter how long it takes you because you don't really have to get much map control.

09:10:17.660 --> 09:10:21.660
I mean, East Stairs already given here, Kino, in quickly with the shield operator.

09:10:21.660 --> 09:10:24.660
But the first problem they're going to run into is the triple walls actually bandit trick.

09:10:24.660 --> 09:10:26.660
Spike hit the bandit during the prep phase.

09:10:26.660 --> 09:10:29.660
It looks like I caught Don Sero off guard. They have nothing to do with this.

09:10:29.660 --> 09:10:32.660
And even the floor has droned. It keeps giving zap off this bulletproof.

09:10:32.660 --> 09:10:37.660
That's a third time in a row now. They've zapped it away so they can't pull up this wall.

09:10:37.660 --> 09:10:40.660
Mr. Mordekill, they do it again!

09:10:40.660 --> 09:10:45.020
I mean until you force this guy off the camera that is going to stay closed. There's no way to open it

09:10:45.020 --> 09:10:47.020
They're not allowed to play with their toys

09:10:47.100 --> 09:10:51.020
They are very firm in time out. Mr. Multi kill newer is the first one to die

09:10:51.020 --> 09:10:57.940
That is not the entry that DZ wanted and given that they drew first blood on every single attack on clubhouse

09:10:57.940 --> 09:11:02.280
Things have already shifted ever so slightly. Yeah, I didn't look speaking of shifting

09:11:02.280 --> 09:11:06.620
It looks like they're actually running at the CC player which is going to be the storm here in CC with the Aruni BMR

09:11:06.620 --> 09:11:10.100
He is so good inside CC TV right up there

09:11:10.660 --> 09:11:14.820
with Noah. How is that not a headshot? I'm not even playing and I'm mad about that one.

09:11:15.540 --> 09:11:20.660
Nice picks from Kansan and Han cold. Only one kill so far. Jartzer struggling with this one.

09:11:20.660 --> 09:11:25.860
That's all that we have in the muster. The sub himself wearing your jersey. The unwanted

09:11:25.860 --> 09:11:31.380
jersey gets the final kill. Wildcard go up to a 1-0 lead. Yeah, nice shout out there with

09:11:31.380 --> 09:11:36.340
Unwondered by the way. I like that. But I like Fruit of the Loom. Fruit of the Loom. Fruit of the

09:11:36.340 --> 09:11:41.060
the room. It's extremely comfortable. Yes. They're breathable. Breatheable. I like what

09:11:41.060 --> 09:11:44.540
they did there on defense. So they didn't try to play the trap heavy meta, which border

09:11:44.540 --> 09:11:48.340
usually is. That's like the plant A for most of these teams. They went to like that plan

09:11:48.340 --> 09:11:51.260
B, which is going to be using the castle. They probably would have loved the mirror

09:11:51.260 --> 09:11:56.660
if it was up and then the bandit as well. You can get those at most stores all over

09:11:56.660 --> 09:12:01.500
the world. Not a hard shirt to find. Not hard jersey to wrap. I miss it. I'm not going to

09:12:01.500 --> 09:12:04.620
wear anyone. I'm wearing the championship white. You're wearing the home dress. We would have

09:12:04.620 --> 09:12:09.720
be. This would have been our

09:12:09.720 --> 09:12:10.720
home. Yeah, we would have worn

09:12:10.720 --> 09:12:12.720
this for the very fun. Well,

09:12:12.720 --> 09:12:13.720
really good start from wild card

09:12:13.720 --> 09:12:14.720
one way or another. It starts

09:12:14.720 --> 09:12:15.720
with cans and getting that

09:12:15.720 --> 09:12:16.720
opening pick something we've

09:12:16.720 --> 09:12:17.720
been focused on here, even though

09:12:17.720 --> 09:12:18.720
you say game. I mean, glad you

09:12:18.720 --> 09:12:19.720
brought that up with the bandit

09:12:19.720 --> 09:12:20.720
tricks coming through. We saw

09:12:20.720 --> 09:12:21.720
it with the bulletproof camera

09:12:21.720 --> 09:12:22.720
as well. Made it really difficult

09:12:22.720 --> 09:12:23.720
for dark Sierra to find an

09:12:23.720 --> 09:12:24.720
opening on that defense. We'll

09:12:24.720 --> 09:12:25.720
get a second chance coming

09:12:25.720 --> 09:12:26.720
down here towards the bottom

09:12:26.720 --> 09:12:27.720
for a ventilation workshop will

09:12:27.720 --> 09:12:28.720
be our second approach for

09:12:28.720 --> 09:12:29.720
wild card. What are you hoping

09:12:29.720 --> 09:12:30.720
to see of the defense from

09:12:30.720 --> 09:12:33.720
What are you hoping to see out of this defense from wallcard?

09:12:33.720 --> 09:12:37.720
Well, again, it's going to be another compact defense running the cave tube.

09:12:37.720 --> 09:12:42.720
So they're going to be trying to force dark zero to actually work to take some of this map control.

09:12:42.720 --> 09:12:47.720
Probably if they want to read into the books walks, which is basically walking outside the CC balcony.

09:12:47.720 --> 09:12:49.720
I'm assuming the army wall is double reinforced.

09:12:49.720 --> 09:12:53.720
Now they're forcing folks to bring that back here to try to open up the wall.

09:12:53.720 --> 09:12:56.720
Actually, it's the jail wall, which is also good.

09:12:56.720 --> 09:13:01.900
So this is, again, it's just problem-solving. They're forcing DZ to play an uncomfortable

09:13:01.900 --> 09:13:05.380
border. It's not just like traps and get a bunch of picks and get a bunch of easy kills.

09:13:05.380 --> 09:13:06.380
They actually have to problem-solve.

09:13:06.380 --> 09:13:09.540
Yeah, and I like the Twitch being brought out from J9O. You already see a little bit

09:13:09.540 --> 09:13:12.860
of that problem-solving coming through alongside the faster, which you already mentioned, being

09:13:12.860 --> 09:13:16.580
brought out by Volks. You got viewers in the IQ, so they've got the right tools here to

09:13:16.580 --> 09:13:19.820
deal with it, but there's still a lot on the board they're going to have to clear through,

09:13:19.820 --> 09:13:23.060
already opening things up and through Passport. It looks like there is a strong focus here

09:13:23.060 --> 09:13:26.540
on the mid-floor one. They're trying to get into the south side of the map. They can get

09:13:26.540 --> 09:13:29.540
space they might not have a bug the bombsite they might not be able to break

09:13:29.540 --> 09:13:32.860
into lockers but they'll still have some good map control to then move over and

09:13:32.860 --> 09:13:37.580
try to work some more picks. And in goes Kino, he's got two players nearby but he

09:13:37.580 --> 09:13:42.940
might not be aware of that as he continues to, for a haul ass I believe, is the

09:13:42.940 --> 09:13:47.820
official tower and he's blinded the battery. Baby Shark made that one a little bit too

09:13:47.820 --> 09:13:51.660
close for comfort. On the side of Dark Zero I'm certain of that and Han cold wants

09:13:51.660 --> 09:13:54.940
no smoke whatsoever. He peels completely off of his position, will survive for the

09:13:54.940 --> 09:13:59.100
time being is whereabouts known by the drone inside a bathroom and the

09:13:59.100 --> 09:14:03.980
kaiid will wait and live to see at least another few seconds cold so on his

09:14:03.980 --> 09:14:08.100
own dark zero one to get that secured he doesn't get a frag that'll be a 5v3

09:14:08.100 --> 09:14:11.980
advantage for DG so it's critical that Matt can do something here yeah it looks

09:14:11.980 --> 09:14:16.140
like they're reading into dark zero just trying to go for like a workshop

09:14:16.140 --> 09:14:19.540
plan they actually gonna just have to take some fights and they're narrowing them all

09:14:19.540 --> 09:14:24.420
down three players a wild card no longer available as dark zero finding a

09:14:24.420 --> 09:14:28.100
A little bit more sharpness on this entry than in the previous round.

09:14:28.100 --> 09:14:32.980
Setting themselves up very effectively for a flawless end around number two to tie this up.

09:14:32.980 --> 09:14:35.620
It all hinges on Kanzin and Bay.

09:14:35.620 --> 09:14:37.300
Got the bird here, Parker. This is massive.

09:14:37.300 --> 09:14:40.580
And the slope comes through, but with this shield, so difficult to deny the plants.

09:14:40.580 --> 09:14:44.100
And they drop. It's the support player to fault collecting all of these kills.

09:14:44.100 --> 09:14:46.740
Kanzin unable to determine the location of the new kit.

09:14:46.740 --> 09:14:49.540
That's the first defuser planted in this series.

09:14:50.260 --> 09:14:52.020
These teams are usually pretty good with utility,

09:14:52.020 --> 09:14:54.020
But it's been all violence all the way down

09:14:54.940 --> 09:15:00.020
Just stop a flawless end. Kansan will need to collect one two maybe five kills. Who knows?

09:15:00.660 --> 09:15:03.020
Kansan sets a pretty nice clutch using his career

09:15:03.260 --> 09:15:06.940
It starts by taking down pulse, but he'll run right into the blitz a keynote

09:15:06.940 --> 09:15:07.440
What?

09:15:07.440 --> 09:15:09.440
How did Kansan hit that one?

09:15:09.940 --> 09:15:13.760
Unphased as ever, but his luck will run out after two

09:15:15.220 --> 09:15:19.700
Dark zero answer back and tie the game. Well, it would have been the greatest clutch of the tournaments

09:15:19.700 --> 09:15:22.540
What do you think is his greatest clutch?

09:15:22.540 --> 09:15:24.860
Because he does have a good nickname after him.

09:15:24.860 --> 09:15:25.860
Clutch is pretty good.

09:15:25.860 --> 09:15:26.860
You know?

09:15:26.860 --> 09:15:27.860
Yeah.

09:15:27.860 --> 09:15:28.860
What's my what?

09:15:28.860 --> 09:15:29.860
What do you think is his best clutch then?

09:15:29.860 --> 09:15:30.860
Do you think it's the bank?

09:15:30.860 --> 09:15:31.860
It's the bank one for sure.

09:15:31.860 --> 09:15:32.860
You did that in jeans.

09:15:32.860 --> 09:15:33.860
There's something to it.

09:15:33.860 --> 09:15:36.100
There's something hot and cold right now.

09:15:36.100 --> 09:15:37.100
The black shirt.

09:15:37.100 --> 09:15:38.100
It's not only the black shirt.

09:15:38.100 --> 09:15:39.100
He's wearing jeans.

09:15:39.100 --> 09:15:40.100
He's wearing jeans as well.

09:15:40.100 --> 09:15:41.100
Dream.

09:15:41.100 --> 09:15:42.100
Dream is sexy.

09:15:42.100 --> 09:15:43.100
You can get that chant gone maybe.

09:15:43.100 --> 09:15:45.940
But anyway, he likes to play in jeans as well.

09:15:45.940 --> 09:15:46.940
Why not?

09:15:46.940 --> 09:15:50.380
because they're khakis being worn by Kalo.

09:15:50.380 --> 09:15:52.180
A lot of jeans in the wildcard fans, too.

09:15:52.180 --> 09:15:55.100
That's good to see starting to represent the team a little bit.

09:15:55.100 --> 09:15:57.420
Of course, on the top and at the bottom,

09:15:57.420 --> 09:15:59.980
these two squads have loaded up the arena

09:15:59.980 --> 09:16:01.020
with their fans here today.

09:16:01.020 --> 09:16:04.180
Dizzy and wildcard jerseys all throughout the crowd.

09:16:04.180 --> 09:16:06.540
In this hometown matchup, we came to expect it.

09:16:06.540 --> 09:16:08.420
But I don't know, I feel like the Dizzy fans

09:16:08.420 --> 09:16:10.820
have been a little bit louder today.

09:16:10.820 --> 09:16:13.900
I mean, I wouldn't fault any of these fans

09:16:13.900 --> 09:16:17.340
after how loud that Shopify Rebellion G2 match was.

09:16:17.340 --> 09:16:20.540
And that one was about five, six hours ago.

09:16:20.540 --> 09:16:23.640
So, I mean, the fact that they've been able to stay in

09:16:23.640 --> 09:16:26.220
prize to the occasion, kudos to you and the fans.

09:16:26.220 --> 09:16:28.740
We are expecting a very noisy barn tomorrow

09:16:28.740 --> 09:16:31.740
as even more fans fill in those seats here in Salt Lake.

09:16:31.740 --> 09:16:35.340
Typically Fridays are the quietest day, and I gotta say.

09:16:35.340 --> 09:16:37.740
Crowd, I'm not trying to win you over here,

09:16:37.740 --> 09:16:39.580
but you've been pretty good for a Friday crowd.

09:16:39.580 --> 09:16:41.580
So, give yourself a hand.

09:16:41.580 --> 09:16:42.080
Yeah!

09:16:45.080 --> 09:16:48.080
Incidentally, the loudest they've been is for themselves.

09:16:48.580 --> 09:16:49.080
True.

09:16:50.080 --> 09:16:51.080
They know what's important.

09:16:51.080 --> 09:16:52.080
Of course, man!

09:16:54.080 --> 09:16:57.080
If you're in a bathroom push, there's not a lot of map control being taken early.

09:16:57.080 --> 09:17:00.580
I love this Sen's Law from Neewer's. It's wrapping a bit of a direct take fast here.

09:17:00.580 --> 09:17:03.080
Are they gonna commit to it though, Mint? It feels like maybe not.

09:17:03.080 --> 09:17:07.080
No, I think this is a fake kill going on ahead into another good read from DarkZero.

09:17:07.080 --> 09:17:10.080
That previous round also, they noticed there was no Warden or soul, so they hit the site.

09:17:10.080 --> 09:17:13.520
What do we see again? No more than no solo. They're not able to read it to the take.

09:17:13.520 --> 09:17:17.760
It's just pure Wolvenile, which seems like that's kind of what the plan is for Wildcard.

09:17:17.760 --> 09:17:20.640
We're seeing a lot of this bandit Kaiji brought out by Wildcard.

09:17:20.640 --> 09:17:23.920
It was good enough to support them in that first round, not good enough in the second.

09:17:23.920 --> 09:17:26.560
Easy. Finding success when they can get some of these early picks,

09:17:26.560 --> 09:17:29.040
when they can make things a bit messy, when they can lower the round count,

09:17:29.040 --> 09:17:31.520
the man count, over on the side of Wildcard.

09:17:31.520 --> 09:17:34.240
They'll pivot now to a top floor take. Of course, the util throwing is a sight,

09:17:34.240 --> 09:17:36.640
but they want to find some of these roamers before they get too active.

09:17:36.640 --> 09:17:43.920
opportunity and they do down canton the midst of it is he aware though canton immobilized

09:17:43.920 --> 09:17:47.640
by the immediate follow-up they need you on the full-souls one and back pocket there goes

09:17:47.640 --> 09:17:48.640
the shield.

09:17:48.640 --> 09:17:54.520
Gita will hope for something is there canton, canton is finished off, njr securing the kill

09:17:54.520 --> 09:17:58.200
he started earlier on it's also the shield that's been dropped so bay is falling off

09:17:58.200 --> 09:18:02.280
of this position he's got a gun in hand he'll take down vaults biker dies elsewhere the

09:18:02.280 --> 09:18:04.520
advantage right now, four darts zero and they're going to

09:18:04.520 --> 09:18:08.200
knock a bunch of utility in. This is a brisk one, one minute,

09:18:08.200 --> 09:18:10.760
twenty still on the board. Kino getting confused, get down,

09:18:10.760 --> 09:18:14.360
Nitro self-tossed a little bit short. Hotten's arm just not

09:18:14.360 --> 09:18:19.320
strong enough. How does he not see him back, you Stevens? Oh my,

09:18:19.320 --> 09:18:22.760
some tisk, tisk, your mother's in the audience, my friend.

09:18:22.760 --> 09:18:25.560
Suddenly the advantage though, swinging back in favor of wild

09:18:25.560 --> 09:18:29.400
card. Newellers and J9 now to stand for the next 30 seconds

09:18:29.400 --> 09:18:32.400
as the job was done by Kino earlier.

09:18:32.400 --> 09:18:36.120
There goes Neewer, so far it could retake Jack Fultz in,

09:18:36.120 --> 09:18:38.440
but only find one.

09:18:38.440 --> 09:18:42.320
Isolavane's a wild card as they pounce on the defused kits,

09:18:42.320 --> 09:18:45.720
and wild card regains the lead.

09:18:45.720 --> 09:18:48.200
He did miss the blitz there, but did we see the react?

09:18:48.200 --> 09:18:50.600
That was a nasty shot.

09:18:50.600 --> 09:18:51.640
Oh, my god.

09:18:51.640 --> 09:18:53.000
He's feeling 19 again.

09:18:53.000 --> 09:18:56.040
It's like he's flipping that game.

09:18:56.040 --> 09:18:58.240
Well, the Huns turned back the clocks.

09:18:58.240 --> 09:19:00.360
And of course, he's on the Valkyrie.

09:19:00.360 --> 09:19:02.040
I've been calling Hot and Cold a Valkyrie crutch

09:19:02.040 --> 09:19:03.400
for as long as I can remember.

09:19:03.400 --> 09:19:07.280
On on one or two, I mean, yeah, he needs the MPX, basically.

09:19:07.280 --> 09:19:08.360
Well, he hits heads with it.

09:19:08.360 --> 09:19:10.040
That's all you can ask for a guy like that.

09:19:10.040 --> 09:19:12.840
And really big moment there to secure that play.

09:19:12.840 --> 09:19:14.280
Get that frag up on the hatch.

09:19:14.280 --> 09:19:16.360
And then, of course, stick that disable, at least at the start.

09:19:16.360 --> 09:19:17.960
Force the jump in from J9O.

09:19:17.960 --> 09:19:19.160
It'll be a tactile easy.

09:19:19.160 --> 09:19:20.160
Yeah.

09:19:20.160 --> 09:19:21.040
They go back to Army here.

09:19:21.040 --> 09:19:22.080
That's what I want to focus on.

09:19:22.080 --> 09:19:23.880
Like, for the two mid-sights, it was pretty good.

09:19:23.880 --> 09:19:25.920
On the Identifier early boat, like, I

09:19:25.920 --> 09:19:27.520
want to push Jones deep with the triple between force

09:19:27.520 --> 09:19:31.680
If it's not reinforced, I just want to fully commit to you so I have it as reinforced keynote

09:19:31.680 --> 09:19:35.000
I want to go for your metal take where you like work up off that you just fucking straight up blast the trade

09:19:35.000 --> 09:19:36.480
Decided to go to CC guy

09:19:36.480 --> 09:19:40.960
Yeah, but you have to do it like Michael Montan or Bob. Yeah, yeah

09:19:40.960 --> 09:19:41.880
That's perfectly fine

09:19:41.880 --> 09:19:45.840
And then if it and like I said if it's not reinforced boker and let's just take ease just work all the way through a work

09:19:45.840 --> 09:19:48.920
If you a semi on these guys, yeah, they did do with a man last time. That's what I'm saying

09:19:48.920 --> 09:19:50.680
It could be either one

09:19:50.680 --> 09:19:54.020
On the on on like the vents in the teller site

09:19:54.020 --> 09:20:00.020
identify it's top hold. If it is a top hold, you can look for the rush, you can look for the top, like crank, whatever else it might be.

09:20:00.020 --> 09:20:04.020
And then for teller's samesh, that's probably more default to sign-in, so she'll call us in.

09:20:05.020 --> 09:20:08.020
Yeah, I mean, interesting. The whole time Al's kind of revolved around that triple wall, really.

09:20:08.020 --> 09:20:14.020
I mean, we'll see. Just kind of call into this armory. Specifically use most of the time for armory to try to get this round win.

09:20:14.020 --> 09:20:21.020
Do they want to crank up the metal stairs and go for the CC player? Go at Storm again? Or do they just want to commit

09:20:21.020 --> 09:20:23.820
They just want to commit to actually going through the triple wall.

09:20:23.820 --> 09:20:26.500
And then, I don't know if I like the call on vents, actually.

09:20:26.500 --> 09:20:28.660
If it's a full top of, if they bring the warden soloist,

09:20:28.660 --> 09:20:31.060
he wants to hit the site, but that might be the time

09:20:31.060 --> 09:20:33.500
to go for the other direction, take our custom,

09:20:33.500 --> 09:20:35.660
taking the free space, but we'll see how it works out here.

09:20:35.660 --> 09:20:38.300
I do expect Ralford to not do the same thing.

09:20:38.300 --> 09:20:40.860
They should attack, and we're seeing it here.

09:20:40.860 --> 09:20:41.700
Yeah, immediately.

09:20:41.700 --> 09:20:43.900
It's not even the same site coming out from log guards.

09:20:43.900 --> 09:20:46.500
They will play all four sites on board, back to back to back

09:20:46.500 --> 09:20:47.180
to back.

09:20:47.180 --> 09:20:50.500
Customs supply basically never seen at a tier one level

09:20:50.500 --> 09:20:53.300
Every now and again, but this is a really big curve ball

09:20:54.100 --> 09:20:59.820
You know the biggest curve ball for me is we were running wall denial and yes, Kate got banned

09:20:59.820 --> 09:21:03.660
But we're not gonna run bandit. We're gonna run hot hold on the alibi. Is that what I've been playing this event?

09:21:03.660 --> 09:21:07.860
I would damn good questions. We'll check the numbers

09:21:07.860 --> 09:21:15.020
I crushed the numbers and send them to me Jesse or us. I love alibi here, but trying to play in sight with you alibi

09:21:15.020 --> 09:21:19.420
I don't know if this is just a snake counter. Obviously Miller's was on the snake and some people think that

09:21:20.500 --> 09:21:24.340
Good counter instead of standing on a meat jammer, but you guys sound fantastic, huh?

09:21:24.340 --> 09:21:26.020
Oh, no!

09:21:26.020 --> 09:21:29.540
How on earth did folks find Spiker in the first 20 seconds of the round?

09:21:29.540 --> 09:21:31.700
That is a devastating loss!

09:21:31.700 --> 09:21:33.060
Dead.

09:21:33.060 --> 09:21:35.940
So that's kind of a normal play. I mean, Spiker plays around the firehatch.

09:21:35.940 --> 09:21:37.940
I feel like this is kind of...

09:21:37.940 --> 09:21:39.060
Let's see it right here.

09:21:39.060 --> 09:21:40.100
An instant replay.

09:21:40.100 --> 09:21:40.900
Wow.

09:21:40.900 --> 09:21:42.500
Window is prepped.

09:21:42.500 --> 09:21:45.300
Spiker likes to play aggressive around there early, fall down the bathroom hatch,

09:21:45.300 --> 09:21:48.660
and try to go for a flank late. Looks like another aggressive play, possibly.

09:21:48.660 --> 09:21:55.560
Good read from one captain on to another baby shark hunting for a frag, but Neuers seems to be aware of it waiting for this peak.

09:21:56.360 --> 09:21:58.360
I think baby sharks gonna think better of this.

09:21:59.660 --> 09:22:04.160
You hope so, but this is just a patience battle and my money's on Neuers.

09:22:04.860 --> 09:22:08.460
Yeah, mine is too. He's looking for a claymore. Of course, there's nothing there. He's used to Skagit.

09:22:08.960 --> 09:22:10.960
It's good to read. Doesn't see anything though.

09:22:11.460 --> 09:22:12.960
Maybe, maybe should be seeing that.

09:22:13.360 --> 09:22:14.860
I think they might have an idea.

09:22:14.860 --> 09:22:19.340
A pretty damn good idea as Fultz will go for a second.

09:22:19.340 --> 09:22:22.340
He's got the lead, does he have the reflexes?

09:22:22.340 --> 09:22:25.740
Can't control the recoil, but Neurs is there for the backup and a good one too.

09:22:25.740 --> 09:22:28.620
Punches start Xero's lead and they come close.

09:22:28.620 --> 09:22:31.820
As clean as they come, huge now two-man lead coming out.

09:22:31.820 --> 09:22:33.980
Ninety seconds still here on the round as well.

09:22:33.980 --> 09:22:37.420
Somebody on a wildcard has to make a big play now that they're down this much.

09:22:37.420 --> 09:22:39.300
Yeah, you just said it. I mean it's a 3v5.

09:22:39.300 --> 09:22:41.300
At this point you can't let them execute.

09:22:41.300 --> 09:22:43.900
You need to try to find some aggressive plays.

09:22:44.860 --> 09:22:51.860
The nitro cell goes out, maybe that would have gotten the kill in another round, nobody even close by now as they would have to fall off in this position.

09:22:52.860 --> 09:23:01.860
It feels almost desperate coming out from Wildcard, even with their phones ringing they have to make these aggressive plays, over towards Metal, Hot and Cold wants to be the hero but nobody finding his line of sight yet.

09:23:02.860 --> 09:23:06.860
It's got a great gun for it and it seems to sense that there's going to be a player walking in this front door.

09:23:07.860 --> 09:23:10.860
I don't, can you beat the SMG-12?

09:23:10.860 --> 09:23:14.860
Mary do you have Huffs as I can?

09:23:14.860 --> 09:23:19.860
Wow. He's been golfing a lot. He's really hitting his shots. That's a good swing.

09:23:19.860 --> 09:23:23.860
40 seconds now. Better than his Huff swing.

09:23:23.860 --> 09:23:29.860
Hunting for another. Didn't quite find it. 38 seconds. You managed to bring things back towards one, but you still want more before they go for their push.

09:23:29.860 --> 09:23:32.860
This is quite the gut to control. My God!

09:23:32.860 --> 09:23:38.860
Han cold shreds. K9-0 and he is still running laps around this map.

09:23:38.860 --> 09:23:45.820
They will get taken care of by Kino secured in just a matter of moments. I'm sure as Kino is looking for more opportunities

09:23:46.180 --> 09:23:49.620
Newers will be the one credited with that one is Kanzin and Han cold now hit the deck

09:23:50.020 --> 09:23:52.700
Two rats looking to make some noise

09:23:53.620 --> 09:24:00.020
A cheesy play, but if there's anybody to find it it's those rats down goes Han cold Kanzin will need to save this one

09:24:00.020 --> 09:24:02.020
He pops up down goes one

09:24:03.580 --> 09:24:08.380
Time will run out though just too many targets for him to hit and TZ will win the round

09:24:08.860 --> 09:24:14.860
At the last second he hit that shot. At the last possible second, he hit that shot.

09:24:16.860 --> 09:24:19.860
And the fans are rowdy in Salt Lake City.

09:24:19.860 --> 09:24:26.860
Oh my god, that one hurts to see Hot and Cold doing what he needs to do is the Super Sub finding some picks with Alibi.

09:24:26.860 --> 09:24:30.860
I was about to go on a big segment about how I think Alibi is actually underrated.

09:24:30.860 --> 09:24:34.860
Go on! That gun is, I mean, go on. You got the time? I got the time. You got the time.

09:24:34.860 --> 09:24:38.860
The gun is great. We see Shaco take it first off. Shaco, great player, of course.

09:24:38.860 --> 09:24:42.860
It's got a great gun, faster to fire. You got the payload, you got proxy arms for the gaps.

09:24:42.860 --> 09:24:47.860
It's actually not that bad, especially in the middle now. Wicked Snake, we see him make those big plays.

09:24:47.860 --> 09:24:53.860
I would have liked for Bay maybe to not give away his position in Blue Lobby or Blue Dust, maybe right a little bit and force next to you.

09:24:53.860 --> 09:25:00.860
I don't even know if he was pinged. And then of course he upped right at the end of the round. Like, if Kanton had any other gun.

09:25:00.860 --> 09:25:05.100
Yeah, unfortunately, the dam is just not quite enough.

09:25:05.100 --> 09:25:07.460
There's two storms on Wildcard in that round,

09:25:07.460 --> 09:25:11.740
but even still not quite enough to stop Dark Zero.

09:25:11.740 --> 09:25:14.300
And look at this, Wildcard, despite the fact

09:25:14.300 --> 09:25:15.660
that the top floor is often thought of

09:25:15.660 --> 09:25:17.500
as the strongest side of the map,

09:25:17.500 --> 09:25:18.780
they're not gonna go there.

09:25:18.780 --> 09:25:20.660
They knew that maybe that's where the top time on

09:25:20.660 --> 09:25:21.980
was being placed for the bonus,

09:25:21.980 --> 09:25:24.100
so instead, or for Dark Zero, I should say,

09:25:24.100 --> 09:25:26.300
so instead, they're just gonna avoid the top floor.

09:25:26.300 --> 09:25:28.980
They'll save it until the very last round of their half

09:25:28.980 --> 09:25:30.900
if they even played at all in that 6th round,

09:25:30.900 --> 09:25:32.820
and go Ventsport Shot instead.

09:25:32.820 --> 09:25:35.060
Yeah, and here's them switching it up again.

09:25:35.060 --> 09:25:36.380
They're going to go to that top hold.

09:25:36.380 --> 09:25:39.540
We see four players from Wildcard holding the top floor.

09:25:39.540 --> 09:25:40.780
They're bringing Wildcard up.

09:25:40.780 --> 09:25:44.180
Warden now for those smoke planets anticipating a rush.

09:25:44.180 --> 09:25:47.900
Oh, no.

09:25:47.900 --> 09:25:50.300
So if we go back to Clubhouse,

09:25:50.300 --> 09:25:54.660
Dart Zero has first blood on every attacking round,

09:25:54.660 --> 09:25:56.460
except for one.

09:25:56.460 --> 09:25:58.100
And that was all the way back in round number one

09:25:58.100 --> 09:26:01.260
of this affair since then, DZ has been terrific.

09:26:01.260 --> 09:26:02.660
You both have tripped over yourselves

09:26:02.660 --> 09:26:04.380
to talk about how good Dark Zero is on the tag,

09:26:04.380 --> 09:26:05.900
and boy, oh boy, is it showing up

09:26:05.900 --> 09:26:07.780
handily here on boarder.

09:26:07.780 --> 09:26:09.820
It is, but I mean, it's still 2-2.

09:26:09.820 --> 09:26:10.980
Yes, they got the man advantage

09:26:10.980 --> 09:26:12.300
as long as they're able to get some trades here.

09:26:12.300 --> 09:26:14.940
This is a very attacker-sided map.

09:26:14.940 --> 09:26:17.140
I think for Dark Zero, you're obviously hoping

09:26:17.140 --> 09:26:19.300
for a 3-3, but more than likely,

09:26:19.300 --> 09:26:21.100
you want that 4-2, you want to close out

09:26:21.100 --> 09:26:22.380
these next few rounds.

09:26:22.380 --> 09:26:23.500
Well, it's been a couple of good rounds

09:26:23.500 --> 09:26:24.660
coming in from yours as well,

09:26:24.660 --> 09:26:26.300
starting to get active here on boarder.

09:26:26.300 --> 09:26:29.740
It's the main entry fragger on this DZ squad, and he finds that one on the shark.

09:26:29.740 --> 09:26:31.140
Now they've got to work some more picks.

09:26:31.140 --> 09:26:33.500
Of course, taking this map from Troll upstairs with Kino.

09:26:33.500 --> 09:26:37.940
Down below, Newer's on a bit of a lurk all by himself, down here towards the front door.

09:26:37.940 --> 09:26:41.420
Okay, here with the Scorpion, a critical position.

09:26:41.420 --> 09:26:46.140
He wants to hold this as long as possible, but hot and cold is actually the one to strike back.

09:26:46.140 --> 09:26:48.820
Just put him on Valq, please.

09:26:48.820 --> 09:26:50.580
Like, more often, put this guy on Valq.

09:26:50.580 --> 09:26:51.740
I mean, six in for you right now.

09:26:51.740 --> 09:26:52.940
He's trying his best.

09:26:52.940 --> 09:26:54.780
We just need the rest of Wildcard to wake up.

09:26:54.780 --> 09:26:59.500
It's been baby shark who's really been the boat anchor on this team coming in as one of the best rated players

09:26:59.500 --> 09:27:02.080
I believe the best rated player on the team statistically

09:27:02.080 --> 09:27:07.740
Yeah, he is the second worst rated player on wildcard this current point in time only spiker is below him

09:27:07.740 --> 09:27:09.820
Which is abnormal for spiker as well

09:27:09.820 --> 09:27:14.700
But I mean baby shark struggles are usually online on land he flourishes

09:27:14.700 --> 09:27:17.580
But he's been swimming against the current and I think it's starting to take him away

09:27:18.820 --> 09:27:21.500
A couple of big positions now being held dark zero

09:27:21.500 --> 09:27:23.900
They've got newers just at the top of these metal stairs. Of course

09:27:23.900 --> 09:27:28.460
He's hoping someone makes his swing can't and hold the other end all the gold on a favorite operator

09:27:28.460 --> 09:27:33.700
There's a second. Oh, but he's out dualed by folks these two vets on a collision course

09:27:34.060 --> 09:27:39.700
Newers and folks will now need to stare down the three on wildcard with folks hanging on to that diffuse kids

09:27:40.620 --> 09:27:45.100
Objective play was not that important on clubhouse. We have seen the diffuser planted twice

09:27:45.860 --> 09:27:49.180
Already on boarder will it happen again? I think it's a little unlikely

09:27:49.180 --> 09:27:54.720
likely. Final 30 seconds now, Foltz walking into the danger zone. Out will go a logic

09:27:54.720 --> 09:27:58.980
bomb. Well timed by Neuers. Foltz looking to capitalize off bad as he retakes the top

09:27:58.980 --> 09:28:04.140
floor. He has his hands full against Bay, but he wins the engagement. A puzzling one and

09:28:04.140 --> 09:28:08.900
now Neuers will join him. Arm in arm, hunting them down. Spiker good enough for one. Neuers

09:28:08.900 --> 09:28:14.340
will need to be the savior with very limited time. Kanzin and Neuers in a 1v1. Hoping to

09:28:14.340 --> 09:28:19.020
flush Kanzin out of this position. Neuers will get the kit to the halfway points. Kanzin

09:28:19.020 --> 09:28:22.020
He's blocked off by the castle.

09:28:22.020 --> 09:28:25.020
His own teammates utility, undoing him.

09:28:25.020 --> 09:28:27.020
He's giving his position away.

09:28:27.020 --> 09:28:28.020
Neuers will greet this.

09:28:28.020 --> 09:28:30.020
Neuers is feeling himself today.

09:28:30.020 --> 09:28:34.020
A dozen kills on map number 1-4 here so far.

09:28:34.020 --> 09:28:36.020
Kansan hoping for the best.

09:28:36.020 --> 09:28:40.020
Hopes on, he'll get a huge round from Neuers and dark zero.

09:28:40.020 --> 09:28:41.020
Take the lead.

09:28:41.020 --> 09:28:44.020
Easy fans on their feet after the big 1v1.

09:28:44.020 --> 09:28:46.020
Neuers back to back rounds.

09:28:46.020 --> 09:28:48.020
A huge impact coming through from his team.

09:28:48.020 --> 09:28:59.620
team, Florida's finest can't quite do it now. Two rounds in a row as well in those clutch positions, in those late rounds with the MPX, with the other guns with the shotgun, he's not able to find those clutch moments today.

09:29:00.500 --> 09:29:15.060
Yeah, he's not. And if it wasn't for that castle, I thought he was going to have that. Yeah, weird that he didn't know that that castle was there in that strat. But I want to say how good DZ is in these late rounds. But that was a total blunder from Wildcard in a 3v2.

09:29:15.060 --> 09:29:16.940
why we're taking any engagements.

09:29:16.940 --> 09:29:19.780
They had no win condition except walk upstairs

09:29:19.780 --> 09:29:22.140
and find some kills before they can go for a plant

09:29:22.140 --> 09:29:24.260
because we did have the vertical control.

09:29:24.260 --> 09:29:25.140
They walked upstairs.

09:29:25.140 --> 09:29:26.460
They got the ones that they wanted.

09:29:26.460 --> 09:29:27.300
They traded it out.

09:29:27.300 --> 09:29:30.700
And then again, a weird end round by Kansas.

09:29:30.700 --> 09:29:32.100
Yeah, I mean, you can see right here, Bay.

09:29:32.100 --> 09:29:33.860
Maybe a bit disconnected from Slyker,

09:29:33.860 --> 09:29:35.860
the other top floor player in the midst of that.

09:29:35.860 --> 09:29:37.140
It's kind of where you're seeing those,

09:29:37.140 --> 09:29:38.340
maybe blunders come through,

09:29:38.340 --> 09:29:40.180
but I did like from fault in the midst of that.

09:29:40.180 --> 09:29:42.740
Before going up, that'll be flashes right towards the site.

09:29:42.740 --> 09:29:58.740
That kind of puts the idea in the head of Wildcard, like oh they might just be going for a plant, they might not be clear up above, obviously a lot going on and they eventually figured it out, but even still, really good push from Dark Zero, capitalizing on some of those mistakes, and now 3-2, they cannot lose this half.

09:29:59.740 --> 09:30:06.740
Yeah, and best case scenario for Wildcard, obviously get this round, we're not too happy with their attacks, that 40%.

09:30:06.740 --> 09:30:14.060
Yeah, you have to imagine they'll be favorites on the second half BZ.

09:30:14.060 --> 09:30:15.460
This is Vintage Nick right here.

09:30:15.460 --> 09:30:17.860
This is Mailbox 101.

09:30:17.860 --> 09:30:20.860
Let's get this guy Kali and just look at a window for two minutes.

09:30:20.860 --> 09:30:23.860
She's a Gijbaad of Bay that was thrown out earlier.

09:30:23.860 --> 09:30:27.900
A North American team earlier today has already punched their ticket to the semifinals.

09:30:27.900 --> 09:30:30.540
Shot of Ira Dalyan with a statement game against G2.

09:30:30.540 --> 09:30:34.780
Andy was giving off one of the best single-matt performances we've ever seen.

09:30:34.780 --> 09:30:38.380
We're guaranteed another North American team, but what do they win?

09:30:38.380 --> 09:30:42.380
They win a matchup against FaZe Clan, the defending world champions, who have yet to

09:30:42.380 --> 09:30:44.860
drop a single map here at this event.

09:30:44.860 --> 09:30:48.780
We've already seen one death who's hot cold and who died.

09:30:48.780 --> 09:30:51.780
So what do they must do about this?

09:30:51.780 --> 09:30:52.780
Pardon me?

09:30:52.780 --> 09:30:56.900
I mean, that was a battle happening for about 20 seconds.

09:30:56.900 --> 09:30:58.860
They just had his pistol out.

09:30:58.860 --> 09:31:01.660
Let's fight a guy on a sniper rifle and win it.

09:31:01.660 --> 09:31:02.660
Only they make that play.

09:31:02.660 --> 09:31:07.140
Like who else in the world is gonna swing a tally up on that window with a pistol of all guns?

09:31:07.140 --> 09:31:11.860
I mean you have to you're not swinging it with a scorpion, but good lord. That's not bank. That's the weapon by the way

09:31:12.020 --> 09:31:14.020
That's the weapon

09:31:15.140 --> 09:31:17.140
Sometimes you can't get caught in the storm

09:31:18.180 --> 09:31:19.620
Collie could not ride that one out

09:31:19.620 --> 09:31:24.740
And I mean what an answer back wild card suffering through hot and cold of all players to die earlier on

09:31:25.140 --> 09:31:29.300
And they've managed to somewhat recover another pistol on this side though watch out for it

09:31:29.300 --> 09:31:40.300
But Nuer is down below, 6-2, he's been the best player on DarkZero these last couple of rounds, he's been so deadly on these opening duels, two for two these last couple rounds, now hoping to be able to close this one out with a win.

09:31:40.300 --> 09:31:48.300
Yeah, they're targeting Spiker here in Archives, they got the radio wall open next to him, but Spiker's gonna try to play in a spot here where he can stay alive, but they haven't trapped.

09:31:48.300 --> 09:31:51.300
It's a suicide position for Bay.

09:31:51.300 --> 09:31:56.300
Inside of security, we see that Ella or even the Denai, played in that position.

09:31:56.300 --> 09:31:58.300
Bay is living on borrowed time.

09:31:58.300 --> 09:32:01.300
Barry leaves with HP. You were right. They're trying to track down Spiker.

09:32:01.300 --> 09:32:03.300
They've been unsuccessful so far. Bay gets another.

09:32:03.300 --> 09:32:06.300
Oh my goodness, and now it's Kino on the ground.

09:32:06.300 --> 09:32:10.300
Baby Shark needs to make up for lost time. He gets Spurs as well.

09:32:10.300 --> 09:32:14.300
J9O will need to clutch out into 1v4. This is a gaunted task walking in.

09:32:14.300 --> 09:32:20.300
He's going to drag Spiker down with him, how many more can he claim?

09:32:20.300 --> 09:32:24.300
We've kind of been waiting for J9O to pop off.

09:32:24.300 --> 09:32:28.500
This could be the potential, not a lot of time now for the superstar on Dark Zero to

09:32:28.500 --> 09:32:29.500
work with.

09:32:29.500 --> 09:32:32.660
He's got a good read.

09:32:32.660 --> 09:32:37.540
Now in pursuit of Baby Shark, he's way around the TMR getting put in good news.

09:32:37.540 --> 09:32:40.300
J9O with that pocket SMG in hand.

09:32:40.300 --> 09:32:41.300
This is a messy one.

09:32:41.300 --> 09:32:44.260
J9O wins it, but running out of time.

09:32:44.260 --> 09:32:49.100
No defuse kit, can he find two kills in five seconds of valiant effort from Jack?

09:32:49.100 --> 09:32:52.740
But it won't be enough while Carp will win on time alone.

09:32:52.740 --> 09:32:56.700
3-3 the first half, neither of these teams close to victory.

09:32:56.700 --> 09:33:00.340
Just like on Clubhouse, things oh so tight between these two NA Titans.

09:33:00.340 --> 09:33:02.340
Yeah!

09:33:02.340 --> 09:33:04.340
Yeah!

09:33:04.340 --> 09:33:06.340
Oh!

09:33:06.340 --> 09:33:08.340
Oh!

09:33:08.340 --> 09:33:10.340
Oh!

09:33:10.340 --> 09:33:19.340
Yeah, let's do it more. We just talked about, like, early on in the round, if they're playing it slow, when it gets quiet and they start stacking that pressure, that's when you look to get aggressive on them.

09:33:19.340 --> 09:33:24.340
Especially on a map like this. And then, like Eddie was saying as well, make sure we're cheating. They're not that comfortable on this map. They don't play it a lot.

09:33:24.340 --> 09:33:25.340
Yeah. Yeah.

09:33:25.340 --> 09:33:26.340
Yeah.

09:33:26.340 --> 09:33:27.340
They're a little hangage.

09:33:27.340 --> 09:33:28.340
They're a little hangage.

09:33:28.340 --> 09:33:30.620
Yep, if you're not choosing at least do something,

09:33:30.620 --> 09:33:34.120
like choose a helicopter or a bunch of that window.

09:33:34.120 --> 09:33:34.960
There, yeah.

09:33:37.460 --> 09:33:38.860
I think you can see the launch air for a minute.

09:33:38.860 --> 09:33:40.060
Yeah, hold your legs.

09:33:40.060 --> 09:33:40.900
It shows the light there.

09:33:40.900 --> 09:33:41.900
Light for a little bit.

09:33:41.900 --> 09:33:42.980
Hold on, hold on.

09:33:42.980 --> 09:33:43.980
Little plant.

09:33:43.980 --> 09:33:45.060
Wow.

09:33:45.060 --> 09:33:45.900
Another round of little plants.

09:33:45.900 --> 09:33:47.100
So bro, even more, like they're like,

09:33:47.100 --> 09:33:50.220
they're like the walks and even more with the sub though,

09:33:50.220 --> 09:33:51.620
they're like not fully comfortable enough.

09:33:51.620 --> 09:33:54.740
If they're not fully like they're in fire and defuse,

09:33:54.740 --> 09:33:56.340
so it's even more of an enable for them

09:33:56.340 --> 09:33:58.180
to do those green walks, okay?

09:33:58.180 --> 09:34:04.180
Yeah, yeah, we're just talking about the rushes or like fast walks for sure.

09:34:04.180 --> 09:34:05.180
Yeah.

09:34:05.180 --> 09:34:06.180
Yeah.

09:34:06.180 --> 09:34:09.180
Alright, I love the rushes with the cat post plan outside that window.

09:34:09.180 --> 09:34:11.180
If I see him out there, I'm actually gonna laugh.

09:34:11.180 --> 09:34:13.180
The cat bar is out.

09:34:14.180 --> 09:34:16.180
Also, as well, Bulkard, just case is over time.

09:34:16.180 --> 09:34:19.180
If we do go back to the attack on the army site, we're not doing the best we can.

09:34:19.180 --> 09:34:22.180
What do you want, defense? Army 5th, 5th, tall, extended.

09:34:22.180 --> 09:34:23.180
They have some blanket strategies.

09:34:23.180 --> 09:34:26.180
Remember, we can do some speed setups against Bulkard.

09:34:26.180 --> 09:34:39.680
I think a lot of gunfights bro, like bring it, bring it for a third throw, bring it for a Q for this, but the strategy is open, the wall is expected to remember the hatch, you're going to be important, keep burning, drop on the hatches, so make sure Brad plays the right part, then I'm going to have the best creators for that to be seen from, right?

09:34:39.680 --> 09:34:40.180
Yeah.

09:34:40.180 --> 09:34:45.180
So there you go, we're finally matching three defense right here, they love to attack, right?

09:34:45.180 --> 09:34:45.680
Yeah.

09:34:45.680 --> 09:34:49.680
It's for a reason that they think that's why it's our time to work, cook them, talk about it.

09:34:49.680 --> 09:34:50.180
Yeah.

09:34:50.180 --> 09:34:51.680
That's a friend right at the moment, right?

09:34:51.680 --> 09:34:53.180
Yo Admin, can I get more water?

09:34:53.180 --> 09:34:54.680
I'm out.

09:34:54.680 --> 09:34:56.680
I could get a lot of buy-in if you want to have it.

09:34:58.680 --> 09:35:00.680
I don't want to stick water.

09:35:00.680 --> 09:35:01.680
I haven't touched it.

09:35:02.680 --> 09:35:04.680
Thank you for remembering, but I hope this mic can make it.

09:35:04.680 --> 09:35:05.680
You can't be sympathetic.

09:35:05.680 --> 09:35:06.680
Let's see what they've got.

09:35:06.680 --> 09:35:07.680
Here, go base.

09:35:08.680 --> 09:35:10.680
We're running the fuse here, right?

09:35:10.680 --> 09:35:13.680
The weapon is thirsty, and that must be quenched.

09:35:13.680 --> 09:35:15.680
First and foremost, let's get that handled.

09:35:15.680 --> 09:35:18.680
They asked me for some water at the end of that tack time-out,

09:35:18.680 --> 09:35:20.680
but I want to focus on Kino a little bit.

09:35:20.680 --> 09:35:23.680
He spoke up in that time-out, and makes a bit of a statement there,

09:35:23.680 --> 09:35:26.940
saying these guys are uncomfortable on boarder, but they're even more uncomfortable

09:35:26.940 --> 09:35:30.820
the fact that they're playing with a substitute. That's substitute sitting

09:35:30.820 --> 09:35:35.440
across the stage from Kino, none other than hot and cold. The one player that was

09:35:35.460 --> 09:35:39.820
side by side with Kino six months ago when they lifted the trophy in Munich.

09:35:39.940 --> 09:35:43.700
We have two major champions going head to head. And it's not a surprise that

09:35:43.700 --> 09:35:46.900
Kino's got a little bit of a deeper read given his former teammates on the other

09:35:46.900 --> 09:35:50.220
side. Yeah, even folks with a deeper read as well as mentioning the

09:35:50.220 --> 09:35:54.700
The capitalities outside Ben's window, here's the 94, wow.

09:35:54.700 --> 09:35:55.700
You said it.

09:35:55.700 --> 09:35:56.700
Who else could do that?

09:35:56.700 --> 09:35:58.580
Who else has the confidence to do that?

09:35:58.580 --> 09:35:59.580
Not me.

09:35:59.580 --> 09:36:00.580
While he's thirsty, too.

09:36:00.580 --> 09:36:01.580
But what?

09:36:01.580 --> 09:36:02.580
The 94 is now quenched.

09:36:02.580 --> 09:36:07.100
It's a whole lake for him to drink from, not too far from here.

09:36:07.100 --> 09:36:08.100
Salty though.

09:36:08.100 --> 09:36:09.100
Salty.

09:36:09.100 --> 09:36:10.100
Yeah.

09:36:10.100 --> 09:36:11.100
Maybe we shouldn't drink from that.

09:36:11.100 --> 09:36:15.260
But they did also mention about doing a lot of ghost pressure as well.

09:36:15.260 --> 09:36:18.340
They want to slow down wild part, even if they're not going through these peaks, they

09:36:18.340 --> 09:36:21.340
when I at least hit the barricades what I call like speed bumping you're just

09:36:21.340 --> 09:36:24.860
trying to make them even slower but they would forward again you don't really

09:36:24.860 --> 09:36:28.980
need to take that much map control this is a cheese map they were aware that

09:36:28.980 --> 09:36:32.180
hey they might try to cheese on this map but again you have to take much

09:36:32.180 --> 09:36:34.860
map control you take east stairs and then from there you take like two rooms

09:36:34.860 --> 09:36:39.780
if you're in the site. Well as we come into the task swap once again it's all tied up.

09:36:39.780 --> 09:36:43.820
When one might was also tied up on clubhouse that's the one thing when

09:36:43.820 --> 09:36:47.580
wildcard moved to that second half they really started to struggle back on club

09:36:47.580 --> 09:36:51.160
but they have to be able to answer much faster here on boarder.

09:36:51.160 --> 09:36:55.200
Small difference though, or maybe massive difference actually.

09:36:55.200 --> 09:36:59.280
That was DZ on attack and DZ attacking is their forte.

09:36:59.280 --> 09:37:04.880
Wildcark was able to hold Dark Zero to just three successful attacks on this map.

09:37:04.880 --> 09:37:09.140
So that could change the trajectory of this particular map.

09:37:09.140 --> 09:37:14.440
Now Dark Zero will have to ride presumably the harder side, at least based on their own metrics.

09:37:14.440 --> 09:37:15.640
But they seem pretty confident.

09:37:15.640 --> 09:37:17.400
I mean, color's been happening.

09:37:17.400 --> 09:37:19.920
Just why don't you?

09:37:19.920 --> 09:37:22.560
Yeah, this is going to be a sighting hit right here.

09:37:22.560 --> 09:37:24.640
I can't remember if this was wild card that did this

09:37:24.640 --> 09:37:25.560
or somebody else.

09:37:25.560 --> 09:37:28.520
But basically, a lot of people go for a back archive

09:37:28.520 --> 09:37:29.160
plan.

09:37:29.160 --> 09:37:32.640
They, one team, which is pretend it's not wild card,

09:37:32.640 --> 09:37:34.640
used a maru to go through the window and actually

09:37:34.640 --> 09:37:36.440
plant the window and take the archive side.

09:37:36.440 --> 09:37:37.520
I think this is the reverse.

09:37:37.520 --> 09:37:38.480
We're going to go through the window.

09:37:38.480 --> 09:37:39.720
Baby Shark eats through the window.

09:37:39.720 --> 09:37:42.440
Our map's going to suppress with the concussion

09:37:42.440 --> 09:37:43.440
from the Zothia.

09:37:43.440 --> 09:37:45.440
And we should see an execute coming here.

09:37:45.440 --> 09:37:47.240
It's going to be dangerous the moment it comes through.

09:37:47.240 --> 09:37:48.800
Shocked under the hand for Baby Shark.

09:37:48.800 --> 09:37:51.400
He's just there for the frags, hoping to capitalize on some of that.

09:37:51.400 --> 09:37:53.840
It's going to be Spiker, of course, who gets that plant down.

09:37:53.840 --> 09:37:55.800
But already half HP, it's going to be risky.

09:37:55.800 --> 09:37:58.480
Jane, I know the only one not heard with these logic policies.

09:37:58.480 --> 09:37:59.480
He sits on a new jammer.

09:37:59.480 --> 09:38:01.480
There they go off to the races.

09:38:01.480 --> 09:38:04.080
He now finished off by Baby Shark using that guard hook

09:38:04.080 --> 09:38:07.160
to slingshot his way into the heart of PZ's defense.

09:38:07.160 --> 09:38:08.200
They'll turn the tables.

09:38:08.200 --> 09:38:10.200
Newers eliminated Baby Shark.

09:38:10.200 --> 09:38:11.680
So the surprise is good.

09:38:11.680 --> 09:38:15.520
The fuse kick goes down, the surprise is even greater.

09:38:15.520 --> 09:38:19.720
Four players on each side still alive, 8 of 10 up for this post-plant.

09:38:19.720 --> 09:38:23.280
Perfect time to bring out the logic bomb.

09:38:23.280 --> 09:38:26.120
Those new jammers doing an excellent job of concealing new defenders,

09:38:26.120 --> 09:38:28.240
but Dark Zero cannot rest on their laurels.

09:38:28.240 --> 09:38:32.880
They're running out of time, and so far the coverage for Wildcruise has been very good.

09:38:32.880 --> 09:38:35.920
Neuer's trying his best, looking for kill number nine.

09:38:35.920 --> 09:38:39.280
He'll get it, NJR under the fuse kicked up with the hole.

09:38:39.280 --> 09:38:42.020
Nick, if you'd only trusted him, you would've probably

09:38:42.020 --> 09:38:43.520
won the round.

09:38:43.520 --> 09:38:45.760
Wildcard pulled that one out of that pocket,

09:38:45.760 --> 09:38:47.560
and they take the lead.

09:38:47.560 --> 09:38:50.000
Thank God for the backstab there, because I was worried

09:38:50.000 --> 09:38:52.720
that that was just about to be a defuse.

09:38:52.720 --> 09:38:54.680
Neuris nearly steals that away.

09:38:54.680 --> 09:38:56.920
The defuse happening at the exact same moment.

09:38:56.920 --> 09:38:58.920
A scary final post plant.

09:38:58.920 --> 09:39:02.160
But Wildcard, they get the job done in the end.

09:39:02.160 --> 09:39:05.560
Those Kiba barriers are not quite enough to stop things out.

09:39:05.560 --> 09:39:07.720
And unfortunately, just jumping off that defuse kit, man.

09:39:07.720 --> 09:39:09.760
That could have been such a different story

09:39:09.760 --> 09:39:10.720
if they can just stick it.

09:39:10.720 --> 09:39:12.600
But Wildcard, they keep the pressure up

09:39:12.600 --> 09:39:13.640
through the midst of that, right?

09:39:13.640 --> 09:39:15.960
Of course there's that is on and coming through.

09:39:15.960 --> 09:39:18.360
But of course there's the Amaru up through the hatch as well,

09:39:18.360 --> 09:39:20.480
but it doesn't seem to matter when the plant's going down,

09:39:20.480 --> 09:39:21.480
they trade out the Amaru,

09:39:21.480 --> 09:39:25.160
but they objective play still so good from Wildcard.

09:39:25.160 --> 09:39:26.640
Yeah, I really like this Carapel Hook play.

09:39:26.640 --> 09:39:28.000
I mean, again, they mask the sound,

09:39:28.000 --> 09:39:29.480
the warden had absolutely no idea.

09:39:29.480 --> 09:39:30.520
I would have just liked Baby Shark

09:39:30.520 --> 09:39:32.600
to maybe pump the brakes there a little bit,

09:39:32.600 --> 09:39:34.040
knock it over aggressive,

09:39:34.040 --> 09:39:36.800
because you know the bomb is going to go down,

09:39:36.800 --> 09:39:40.240
You need as many bodies as you can, especially against Dark Zero,

09:39:40.240 --> 09:39:41.960
to make sure that they can't go for that retake.

09:39:41.960 --> 09:39:43.400
What about Spike or two in the midst of that?

09:39:43.400 --> 09:39:46.400
I mean, the fact that he downs the Azami as the Kiba is coming out,

09:39:46.400 --> 09:39:49.240
if he's a second later on that, of course, there's no chance

09:39:49.240 --> 09:39:51.840
that he's able to get that frag, and it's a completely different post plant,

09:39:51.840 --> 09:39:53.600
so huge credit to Spike.

09:39:53.600 --> 09:39:56.040
Of course, got the plant earlier in that one too.

09:39:56.040 --> 09:39:57.920
Gains the lead now for Wildcard,

09:39:57.920 --> 09:40:00.440
something they desperately need on their own pick.

09:40:00.440 --> 09:40:03.080
Right. This looks like a read out of here from Dark Zero.

09:40:03.080 --> 09:40:04.760
They're, at that point, they got the script.

09:40:04.760 --> 09:40:06.680
They know Wildcard wants to go for these fast takes,

09:40:06.680 --> 09:40:11.080
So they're going to just play a top hold here with the Warden and the Solas, so they are ready for any direct takes.

09:40:11.080 --> 09:40:15.680
But, you see the weapon, he's on a weapon, he's on Pali right now.

09:40:16.680 --> 09:40:18.680
It looks like he's going to go for the CZTB thing.

09:40:19.380 --> 09:40:20.480
It's J9O, get a peek.

09:40:22.480 --> 09:40:23.480
Hold your breath.

09:40:24.280 --> 09:40:27.180
Pave the Cajones to do it when he was facing Nicole.

09:40:27.180 --> 09:40:30.480
He has stolen all that power from NJR.

09:40:31.980 --> 09:40:33.680
Shot once though, and now they know, right?

09:40:33.680 --> 09:40:35.180
Now it's going to be a game of chicken.

09:40:35.180 --> 09:40:36.940
You can't beat these angles.

09:40:36.940 --> 09:40:39.140
Everything going to what you said.

09:40:39.140 --> 09:40:40.060
This will be a quick one.

09:40:40.060 --> 09:40:44.460
They're using so much utility on the side of Wildcard.

09:40:44.460 --> 09:40:46.660
Maybe they might get a read of their own.

09:40:46.660 --> 09:40:48.820
If Darkseer responded saying we're going to slow them down,

09:40:48.820 --> 09:40:51.020
we're going to bog them down, Wildcard

09:40:51.020 --> 09:40:52.900
might have to go back to the drawing board here,

09:40:52.900 --> 09:40:57.220
because after those calls were made, patience on their side.

09:40:57.220 --> 09:40:58.700
It does look like plan B coming out.

09:40:58.700 --> 09:41:00.900
They were just trying to go for that CC pick early.

09:41:00.900 --> 09:41:04.980
But now majority of the players on the radio side

09:41:04.980 --> 09:41:07.180
They're going for this jump in, just trying to clear top floor.

09:41:07.180 --> 09:41:08.180
Oh, and they'll trade it out.

09:41:08.180 --> 09:41:09.940
Kansai missing the golden opportunity,

09:41:09.940 --> 09:41:13.060
and NJR doesn't realize how close he came to certain death.

09:41:13.060 --> 09:41:15.540
They'll realize who though, as Foltz gets punished by Spike

09:41:15.540 --> 09:41:18.180
or an NJR, will have two lined up.

09:41:18.180 --> 09:41:20.420
They've immediately vacated the premises.

09:41:20.420 --> 09:41:22.220
Wildcard with the numbers advantage.

09:41:22.220 --> 09:41:23.580
So they change things.

09:41:23.580 --> 09:41:25.740
They make an adaptation, but it immediately works.

09:41:25.740 --> 09:41:27.540
And now Wildcard, if his numbers advantage,

09:41:27.540 --> 09:41:29.220
would have to round to go.

09:41:29.220 --> 09:41:30.780
So clean to come through from Wildcard.

09:41:30.780 --> 09:41:32.100
Now they can just play with their food.

09:41:32.100 --> 09:41:33.900
They know the aggressive swans are going to come out,

09:41:33.900 --> 09:41:36.380
so they just hold their angles, they're waiting for it.

09:41:36.380 --> 09:41:38.900
Not a moment there for Bay to grab it, but still hungry.

09:41:38.900 --> 09:41:42.140
And again, I don't think Darkseer have been following here.

09:41:42.140 --> 09:41:44.140
They're gonna just try to play the aggressive fights,

09:41:44.140 --> 09:41:45.820
and there's the weapon.

09:41:45.820 --> 09:41:50.220
Oh, Jane, I know Falter's Bay now looking for his 10th kill.

09:41:51.540 --> 09:41:54.460
This looks a little grand for Dark Zero.

09:41:54.460 --> 09:41:55.460
They seemed a little confident.

09:41:55.460 --> 09:41:57.700
Kino and Call-Out and the Timeout basically said,

09:41:57.700 --> 09:41:58.820
like, they don't play this map,

09:41:58.820 --> 09:42:00.580
they're not very comfortable here.

09:42:00.580 --> 09:42:01.700
Well, this is discomfort,

09:42:01.700 --> 09:42:03.880
I'd hate to see what a comfortable wild card

09:42:03.880 --> 09:42:08.000
is able to do. NJR taking up baby shark now. The logic bombs are gone so you would have

09:42:08.000 --> 09:42:12.400
just been a gun in hand and I mean, no one will have baby shark warm up. Two of the most

09:42:12.400 --> 09:42:16.920
clutch players in the game. They brought a 2v4 right down to a 2v2. Kino and NJR, two

09:42:16.920 --> 09:42:22.040
men you can never count out. Kansid's got the fender of NJR on the run. Good tracking

09:42:22.040 --> 09:42:27.960
on his position. Kino will take that major winning experience to the bank with 30 seconds

09:42:27.960 --> 09:42:34.760
to go, Spiker holding onto the case. No utility remaining, no flashes, no nades, Lyon starved

09:42:34.760 --> 09:42:39.160
for that gadgetry. Kino will patrol from above, but I'm certain that they've heard this and

09:42:39.160 --> 09:42:44.200
they'll send Kanzin in pursuit. Spiker will now get defused, get down. Blackbeard being

09:42:44.200 --> 09:42:49.560
a great distraction. Kino will drop. He's not able to stop this one. Pulls out the shot

09:42:49.560 --> 09:42:56.040
got in the corner, they have no idea how much it is there for insurance, what a round from

09:42:56.040 --> 09:42:57.040
Wildcard.

09:42:57.040 --> 09:43:03.720
I felt the caster curse coming, but thankfully we have Jesse here who realized that NJR was

09:43:03.720 --> 09:43:08.920
still alive, that 4v2 quickly turned into a 2v2, and again that was something I discussed

09:43:08.920 --> 09:43:13.160
with these guys right before the event is some of their problems is when they get that

09:43:13.160 --> 09:43:16.880
man advantage, they have the two IDLs that are kind of coming up with these ideas, what

09:43:16.880 --> 09:43:20.480
What do we do in the mid-round? How do we end the round? And they just need to trust one.

09:43:20.480 --> 09:43:23.480
Yeah, it's really scary when that drop comes out in the 1v2.

09:43:23.480 --> 09:43:26.680
Of course, such a huge opportunity to come through from Kino.

09:43:26.680 --> 09:43:30.680
Didn't know where the plant was at first. It was only the shots of the play and it gave him a bit of a clue.

09:43:30.680 --> 09:43:35.680
So that could have been even worse, but thankfully the trade was so quick to come right back out from the black pier.

09:43:35.680 --> 09:43:39.280
A huge round from Kanzin. He's had a couple of big clutch opportunities.

09:43:39.280 --> 09:43:44.080
He's yet to really capitalize on them, but that 1v1 was probably the best one that he could have gotten.

09:43:44.080 --> 09:43:49.200
5v3 now from wildcard after that play again, you know, no idea figures it out at the last moment

09:43:49.200 --> 09:43:54.720
But it's so quick the follow-up from kanzin and now you can see the the the face of the bonus

09:43:54.720 --> 09:43:59.600
I mean, he's thrilled. He's so excited by this movement because they are now just two rounds away from map 3

09:44:00.800 --> 09:44:02.800
Yeah, not only not only the bonus

09:44:02.800 --> 09:44:06.160
I think the crowd might be waking up for a little bit. There might be some

09:44:06.160 --> 09:44:10.160
Yeah, I might be seeing a map 3. I'm here. I think I have a chance to find the goal today in one day.

09:44:10.160 --> 09:44:17.240
It is it is late in the day again. This is a this is a potentially tired crowd as the

09:44:17.800 --> 09:44:22.200
First match began 12 hours ago, but I mean that's a long day for gamers. They're awake

09:44:22.680 --> 09:44:25.920
What's 7 p.m. Mountain time so most of them should be waking up about now

09:44:27.800 --> 09:44:31.040
Yeah, it looks like another adaption now coming out in dark zero

09:44:31.040 --> 09:44:32.680
We said maybe they don't know how to play them out

09:44:32.680 --> 09:44:36.640
But this is a good sign right here because they're bringing them here. They're bringing the castle

09:44:36.640 --> 09:44:39.840
They're bringing the Goyo, they're going to force Wildcard out.

09:44:39.840 --> 09:44:43.680
Instead of getting your free picks, we're going to be able to sit, trade on defense.

09:44:43.680 --> 09:44:45.280
You have to clear us out of these spots.

09:44:45.280 --> 09:44:48.080
That's a completely different defense of lineup coming through now from DZ.

09:44:48.080 --> 09:44:49.800
So they're really trying to change things up.

09:44:49.800 --> 09:44:52.920
They have a little bit more experience on boarder, so maybe you'd expect that to come

09:44:52.920 --> 09:44:53.920
through from them.

09:44:53.920 --> 09:44:58.000
Forcing different ideas out from Wildcard, really testing this team, as you said.

09:44:58.000 --> 09:44:59.760
And so far it's been a bit slow from Wildcard.

09:44:59.760 --> 09:45:00.760
They're doing a lot of droning.

09:45:00.760 --> 09:45:02.920
I like that Twitch is being brought up by Baby Shark.

09:45:02.920 --> 09:45:06.040
This is an excellent counter, both through the Goyo and to the Mira.

09:45:06.040 --> 09:45:08.920
information. I mean that might be the most valuable aspect at all.

09:45:08.920 --> 09:45:14.200
Uh-oh! And you've trapped Bolton to the corner and he loses the Miro window too!

09:45:14.200 --> 09:45:18.520
Huge value from the Frenchman Baby Shark. A bit of frustration was shown on his face

09:45:18.520 --> 09:45:24.280
when that first drone got shot. The second one far better and the value that comes from just

09:45:24.280 --> 09:45:28.680
a small piece of his gadgetry. Now we'll give Wildcard a bit of breathing room here. They're two

09:45:28.680 --> 09:45:35.560
for two on opening duels as attackers but with 90 seconds to go. Why around? Nobody dead yet.

09:45:35.560 --> 09:45:40.260
So a little bit of utility being used out here, baby Sharky with the Amarley last time they attacked this site.

09:45:40.260 --> 09:45:43.960
So he's had big value both on those two rounds that they've had so far.

09:45:43.960 --> 09:45:46.160
Here's the top down now. You can start to see the picture.

09:45:46.160 --> 09:45:50.060
DZ spread across this tall floor. They've got players in security. They've got players in break room.

09:45:50.060 --> 09:45:54.860
They've got players in east. So much map control still being held by Dark Zero. 75 seconds.

09:45:54.860 --> 09:46:01.560
Yeah, looks like they got to try to get NJR out of the east air position for him to still be here with two minutes and just throwing smokes now.

09:46:01.560 --> 09:46:03.860
I mean, Kaden has to take the fight into a smoker, Nate.

09:46:03.860 --> 09:46:07.300
Why didn't they got him out? In a casket?

09:46:07.300 --> 09:46:08.700
It's Piker with another?

09:46:08.700 --> 09:46:09.500
One high Britain.

09:46:09.500 --> 09:46:14.420
That's two very fast kills as Wildcard pounce upon Guard Zero's offsite players.

09:46:14.420 --> 09:46:18.500
Neewer's also suffering a beating, but so too a baby shark and hot and cold.

09:46:18.500 --> 09:46:21.900
Right now the kills on the side of Wildcard spread out quite evenly.

09:46:21.900 --> 09:46:24.820
Bay leading away, Kansan and Hot and Cold just steps behind.

09:46:24.820 --> 09:46:27.860
Nine kills in the hands of Neewers and he is still alive.

09:46:27.860 --> 09:46:31.460
40 seconds. So scary at this moment, right?

09:46:31.460 --> 09:46:33.020
You have to do something if you're Dark Zero.

09:46:33.020 --> 09:46:35.180
You just don't have the numbers, but what can they do?

09:46:35.180 --> 09:46:37.060
Everybody on Wildcard's safe around offense.

09:46:37.060 --> 09:46:38.140
They have to make a play.

09:46:38.140 --> 09:46:40.460
Looking for an opening towards the safe offside.

09:46:40.460 --> 09:46:41.700
Newer's still in this position.

09:46:41.700 --> 09:46:42.900
Good enough for one.

09:46:42.900 --> 09:46:46.260
Traded out as there's Hotten Cold hitting his ninth.

09:46:46.260 --> 09:46:49.260
J9O and Kino now far enough back to welcome in

09:46:49.260 --> 09:46:50.980
this advance from Wildcard.

09:46:50.980 --> 09:46:52.500
Kansan holding the defuse kit.

09:46:52.500 --> 09:46:53.940
The welcoming committee though.

09:46:53.940 --> 09:46:55.260
They're a mean bunch.

09:46:55.260 --> 09:46:58.860
And J9O might be greeted with some hostility.

09:46:58.860 --> 09:47:02.140
He tears through Hotten, misses out on Kansan.

09:47:02.140 --> 09:47:10.940
He's dropped spiker, but there's the weapon, the secret weapon to send Wildcard to map point.

09:47:10.940 --> 09:47:12.540
Oh, if only he knew.

09:47:12.540 --> 09:47:15.940
Oh, if only he knew where the plan was going down, Mint.

09:47:15.940 --> 09:47:18.140
I'm glad he didn't know.

09:47:18.140 --> 09:47:19.340
I'm glad he didn't know, Matt.

09:47:19.340 --> 09:47:20.740
Asking right now for a timeout.

09:47:20.740 --> 09:47:23.540
Maybe we're going to see one from all out possibly here.

09:47:23.540 --> 09:47:25.140
I mean, at 6-3, probably.

09:47:25.140 --> 09:47:27.340
I was a little worried how slow that attack was.

09:47:27.340 --> 09:47:31.140
Again, trying to get Nick out of a power position after wasting two minutes,

09:47:31.140 --> 09:47:37.340
But it worked out Kansan the veteran player making a great play all running through the smoke and a triple and spiker with another

09:47:37.340 --> 09:47:40.060
Frag and then they had the time to once you get East airs

09:47:40.060 --> 09:47:45.360
You're either gonna go office or CC side and chose office with the Habana no mute on board was a great call

09:47:46.260 --> 09:47:48.260
Wind Bastion bands by the way

09:47:48.700 --> 09:47:53.480
Don't like the uniforms and then we say you know we don't like no matter Kaid either at the time out was called for

09:47:53.540 --> 09:47:59.440
It will not arrive. We will go into a very important round for dark zero gentlemen

09:47:59.440 --> 09:48:03.700
I know you were exceptionally skeptical of this border pick, but this is why

09:48:04.160 --> 09:48:09.680
This is why we talk about the game because guess what we were skeptical, but it looks like wild card

09:48:09.720 --> 09:48:11.720
Maybe do what they were

09:48:11.800 --> 09:48:17.540
Yeah, I was skeptical. I mean I would almost thought it was desperation like the map pools just didn't really quite align

09:48:17.540 --> 09:48:23.800
They try to take him to some more comfortable maps for them like labs the last time they played and just work out because DZ's really good at these

09:48:24.040 --> 09:48:28.040
Structured default maps having four support players down their team, right now

09:48:28.040 --> 09:48:31.040
Now we're taking them to Border where it really doesn't fit their playstyle.

09:48:31.040 --> 09:48:34.040
Maybe we're going to solve something the last time that they played Shopify.

09:48:34.040 --> 09:48:36.040
The reason they lost 3-7 as well.

09:48:36.040 --> 09:48:39.040
Yeah. I think right now it's looking like a great call.

09:48:39.040 --> 09:48:40.040
Whoa!

09:48:40.040 --> 09:48:41.040
Good information.

09:48:41.040 --> 09:48:44.040
And again, this is showing more familiarity with the map of Border.

09:48:44.040 --> 09:48:48.040
Like, sure, this is just a drone, but so far the pushes have looked really good from Wildcard.

09:48:48.040 --> 09:48:52.040
The way they've been able to put together different aspects against different defenses.

09:48:52.040 --> 09:48:56.040
Dark Zero's done a great job showing many different books to Wildcard that we've highlighted,

09:48:56.040 --> 09:48:59.840
piloted but it doesn't seem to matter you'd be forgiven not thinking that

09:48:59.840 --> 09:49:03.440
dark zero was the number one attacking team of the tournament after this map

09:49:03.440 --> 09:49:07.200
because wild carbon flawless through three and they've gotten first blood in

09:49:07.200 --> 09:49:11.080
all of those when DZ rode that second side of attack back on clubhouse they

09:49:11.080 --> 09:49:15.200
struck first every single round and that momentum carried them to a victory

09:49:15.200 --> 09:49:19.480
wild Carter now in the exact same position three for three on these opening

09:49:19.480 --> 09:49:23.200
three loaded and they're hoping that momentum will net them the same result

09:49:23.200 --> 09:49:31.860
That DZ was greeted with back on clubhouse if that is the case and Darkseer are unable to push us to overtime

09:49:31.860 --> 09:49:36.500
Cathay will win them as a third map and of course gentlemen

09:49:36.500 --> 09:49:39.540
I expect a free map on our final series of the day

09:49:39.540 --> 09:49:41.560
They're on the site baby shark

09:49:41.560 --> 09:49:43.560
Bloundling as Foltz gets torn through

09:49:43.820 --> 09:49:45.420
Diffuse get going down though

09:49:45.420 --> 09:49:47.420
They sacrifice the Frenchman

09:49:47.420 --> 09:49:50.320
And blood for the blood god has paid off for the time being

09:49:50.960 --> 09:49:52.540
Nitro Cell gets out

09:49:52.540 --> 09:49:55.540
Pick back up by Foltz, Smyker's died too.

09:49:55.540 --> 09:49:59.540
35 seconds remain, Dark Zero still have every player up,

09:49:59.540 --> 09:50:02.540
but Wildcard unlocked in in this post plant.

09:50:02.540 --> 09:50:04.540
They'll look with the Monty on the board,

09:50:04.540 --> 09:50:08.540
Han cold on the very familiar shield operator.

09:50:08.540 --> 09:50:10.540
They trying to waste as much time.

09:50:10.540 --> 09:50:13.540
Can Dark Zero get on there? No, there goes they.

09:50:13.540 --> 09:50:17.540
Han cold looking to smoke Foltz to keep him area destroyed.

09:50:17.540 --> 09:50:21.540
Good coverage so far. Foltz on it, and we will go one more round.

09:50:22.540 --> 09:50:27.540
Really nice play by Dark Zero with the kid on the ground.

09:50:27.540 --> 09:50:30.540
Yeah, that was a really smart call from Wildcard, actually.

09:50:30.540 --> 09:50:32.540
It was actually a fake.

09:50:32.540 --> 09:50:33.540
Matt was Montane taking East.

09:50:33.540 --> 09:50:35.540
They opened up the passport wall as well,

09:50:35.540 --> 09:50:39.540
and had everyone on Dark Zero convinced that there was just going to be a normal East take.

09:50:39.540 --> 09:50:40.540
But what actually happened?

09:50:40.540 --> 09:50:43.540
They went for that site hit with the blitz jump through the window.

09:50:43.540 --> 09:50:46.540
The candelas, the thatcher for any C4s and smokes.

09:50:46.540 --> 09:50:48.540
Really good call, really good fake.

09:50:48.540 --> 09:50:50.100
However, they lost too many bodies.

09:50:50.100 --> 09:50:52.740
That is a hard retake to go against the zombie.

09:50:52.740 --> 09:50:54.060
Another little pocket strat.

09:50:54.060 --> 09:50:56.460
Now, how many times we've seen this at a wild card today, right?

09:50:56.460 --> 09:50:58.940
They started things off with the Amaru jump off the hatch,

09:50:58.940 --> 09:50:59.940
plant with the doka-dia.

09:50:59.940 --> 09:51:02.700
I mean, they've got a lot of these little fake plant strategies

09:51:02.700 --> 09:51:04.540
that you highly just started to happen.

09:51:04.540 --> 09:51:07.740
But at some point, these ideas start to get predictable, right?

09:51:07.740 --> 09:51:10.340
At some point, Dugs need a start to read into things.

09:51:10.340 --> 09:51:11.740
If we're able to deny the plant,

09:51:11.740 --> 09:51:14.860
despite having all that utility talks of babes, impact, C4s,

09:51:14.860 --> 09:51:15.900
they didn't need it.

09:51:15.900 --> 09:51:17.660
They were able to find so many of those frags.

09:51:17.660 --> 09:51:22.620
And you start to wonder do darks here have to read at this point have they figured it out exactly what wild card

09:51:22.620 --> 09:51:26.980
I do want to love these game plans. So we won around. Well, I don't want to sound the alarm just yet

09:51:26.980 --> 09:51:29.660
But man wild card not good enough in round number nine

09:51:30.180 --> 09:51:32.180
ten

09:51:32.220 --> 09:51:34.220
Yeah, that's a great point and

09:51:34.780 --> 09:51:40.500
Honestly, I would like wild card probably just go back to some defaults here, right? Let's not just try to cheese the whole time

09:51:40.500 --> 09:51:44.540
I know we're up six three. You got a couple rounds to throw away. Why not? You just threw one way

09:51:44.540 --> 09:51:47.540
Let's go for a new state. We got Spike around the A's. We got Habana.

09:51:47.540 --> 09:51:51.540
Looks like we're going to try to open up some walls and clear some of these guys out of their positions.

09:51:51.540 --> 09:51:56.540
Pump things down a little bit. Go buy the book. You don't have to get crazy every single round.

09:51:56.540 --> 09:52:00.540
Vent's workshop, of course, with our site. The plenty of tall floor pleasant.

09:52:00.540 --> 09:52:05.540
The presence to try to clear through. Kino on this solo might be a bit of a difficult position over inside of Armory.

09:52:05.540 --> 09:52:10.540
They've got a couple different players here locked out of the tall floor. Kino alongside J9O and NJR.

09:52:10.540 --> 09:52:15.780
The triple digit letters coming through to support this top floor room and Kino with this information

09:52:15.780 --> 09:52:19.740
He sees all these drones just scurrying around on the roof. They claim the skylight too

09:52:20.180 --> 09:52:24.960
Wildcard clearly having a bigger budget for the names letters were too expensive on the side of guard zero

09:52:25.100 --> 09:52:30.540
There goes they at the hands of J9O as he will now escape through the hatch linking up with newers

09:52:30.980 --> 09:52:33.340
On the bottom floor on that electrified jail wall

09:52:33.980 --> 09:52:37.500
Suffering early deaths for wildcard now after they were the ones to strike first

09:52:37.500 --> 09:52:42.660
This is not a good look and it is a bit of a worrying sign the alarm bells might be getting a little louder just yeah

09:52:42.660 --> 09:52:46.140
They're starting to ring a little bit Parker here comes the entry from what's on into the map

09:52:46.300 --> 09:52:50.940
He's scared under their control of course still you have faults down below to try to apply some pressure

09:52:50.940 --> 09:52:57.060
But these players with their phones ringing their positions will be known and all of a sudden this space is getting really small for DZ

09:52:57.900 --> 09:53:01.780
Yeah, I mean that was babe just walking down the hallway by the way like over two minutes

09:53:01.980 --> 09:53:06.060
Yeah, I wonder if he had that same cam and CC and just all play and they sent the weapon at him

09:53:06.060 --> 09:53:07.300
but didn't work out.

09:53:07.300 --> 09:53:09.060
We're now going to have to see a little bit of a pivot here.

09:53:09.060 --> 09:53:12.500
I think we're going to have to go for some of these top four picks.

09:53:12.500 --> 09:53:14.140
Lepid's misfire.

09:53:14.140 --> 09:53:15.540
It happens.

09:53:15.540 --> 09:53:17.020
He's gun jammed, I don't know.

09:53:17.020 --> 09:53:20.380
Still hoping for one of these players to wander into a crossfire.

09:53:20.380 --> 09:53:22.180
Wildcard, they have to get more aggressive than this.

09:53:22.180 --> 09:53:23.780
They have to be the ones to force the play.

09:53:23.780 --> 09:53:25.100
That's why the flashbang comes out.

09:53:25.100 --> 09:53:26.540
Lots of damage on the Keen over.

09:53:26.540 --> 09:53:28.380
No follow-up.

09:53:28.380 --> 09:53:29.180
He's not blinded.

09:53:29.180 --> 09:53:31.500
Oh, maybe he is.

09:53:31.500 --> 09:53:33.300
Getting some remedial aim training for Han.

09:53:33.300 --> 09:53:35.060
No, he'll break double digits on that one.

09:53:35.060 --> 09:53:37.060
Kansan was right there with him

09:53:37.060 --> 09:53:43.820
Kino doesn't do any damage to either of these players on wildcard and with one minute to go back to a stalemate in numbers 4v4

09:53:44.620 --> 09:53:46.300
It's good clear on the top floor though

09:53:46.300 --> 09:53:51.980
This is wild cards portion of the map those nitro cells can be your undoing and spiker will learn that the hard way

09:53:52.700 --> 09:53:56.020
It's a good clear, but they don't have any verdox. I was saying this was plan B

09:53:56.020 --> 09:54:01.460
So it's gonna be a really tough execute. I can't clear anyone out of vents. They already lost somebody to a c4

09:54:02.260 --> 09:54:04.260
What's gonna be the answer here?

09:54:05.060 --> 09:54:11.760
A mighty good question and on a lot of time with Wildcard, holding their defuse kit now, having to go to the bomb sites.

09:54:11.760 --> 09:54:17.860
Kansan knows there's a follow up too, in fact, but he can't hit them, and the drop is not good enough.

09:54:17.860 --> 09:54:27.160
One round separating these two, the comeback very real, the alarms blaring on the side of Wildcard as DZ, push us to round 12.

09:54:27.160 --> 09:54:33.860
Cafe at one point seemed like an inevitability, and now it's a huge question mark. DarkZero rally with two straight.

09:54:33.860 --> 09:54:35.860
Hello, hello, let's look at here, okay?

09:54:35.860 --> 09:54:37.860
They can go Armory or Customs, correct?

09:54:37.860 --> 09:54:39.860
If they go Customs, let's play Direct Bombsite.

09:54:39.860 --> 09:54:41.860
They have a little bit to leave that you guys just had, right?

09:54:41.860 --> 09:54:43.860
So if you guys saw the potential to kill the guy on Workshop, kill him, okay?

09:54:43.860 --> 09:54:45.860
But keep him working Direct Bombsite.

09:54:45.860 --> 09:54:47.860
Even if they make spotters on both sides,

09:54:47.860 --> 09:54:50.860
take a look if there's any gaps, we can spread a little bit, go Mortalis, etc.

09:54:50.860 --> 09:54:53.860
What do you think, Armory guys? Let's look at the loud, Direct Bombsite again.

09:54:53.860 --> 09:54:55.860
Hot and cold, play the ace.

09:54:55.860 --> 09:54:57.860
Play the Zofis, but okay, the story goes open, I have to go all normal.

09:54:57.860 --> 09:55:00.860
And one thing for Ushakun, enter and tell us, you're gonna walk the ace's stairs.

09:55:00.860 --> 09:55:07.480
If you guys kill the armor guy like let's oppose over his position like archives or cute armor guy already planted the bomb right there

09:55:07.480 --> 09:55:09.480
Let's abuse the gap of the queue. What about me?

09:55:09.480 --> 09:55:11.480
I love if you don't get the queue you could play normal

09:55:13.260 --> 09:55:18.740
It's correct if we slow down we open the radio all okay gonna radio all so all we're gonna get the queue and play the bomb or

09:55:23.220 --> 09:55:25.220
Yeah interesting, I mean

09:55:25.220 --> 09:55:31.040
Kind of getting cute with it. I would kind of like that to simplify it a little bit. I mean, Pagona's some good ideas.

09:55:31.040 --> 09:55:33.140
Armoring, maybe we can do a little bit of a flip-flop.

09:55:33.140 --> 09:55:35.340
Joby Armory player, go fast, plant the bomb.

09:55:35.340 --> 09:55:37.820
Or he's going to put hot gold on the ace.

09:55:37.820 --> 09:55:39.820
Maybe they don't get that pick. They at least have a plan B.

09:55:39.820 --> 09:55:45.060
They're able to pivot off it and use the ace to start opening up some of these power positions and don't let the defenders hide.

09:55:45.060 --> 09:55:51.220
But again, I'd really dislike them maybe even just bring like a montane and let's just start slowly working some of these picks out.

09:55:51.220 --> 09:55:55.060
Well, this is kind of a problem too. You call a pocket strap for the bombs that you expect to come out.

09:55:55.060 --> 09:55:59.420
And then what happened? Dark zero is saying, nope, we're not going to let you plan for that.

09:55:59.420 --> 09:56:03.660
We're going to go to a bomb site. You will not have come to expect customs and supply.

09:56:03.660 --> 09:56:07.100
This is the same trick that Wildcard played after DZ's tack time.

09:56:07.100 --> 09:56:10.100
Oh, Wildcard, we occur. Ball said, we're going to play the fourth side on this map.

09:56:10.420 --> 09:56:13.020
DZ have the exact same trick up their sleeve.

09:56:13.300 --> 09:56:16.700
Well, it is pretty typical for after a time out to go to that fourth bomb site.

09:56:16.700 --> 09:56:20.740
But the bonus did actually say if they do go customs, normally there's going to be a guy in workshop.

09:56:20.740 --> 09:56:23.340
They want him to go direct at this site,

09:56:23.340 --> 09:56:26.300
work the guy in the workshop and then see if he can just keep working direct.

09:56:26.300 --> 09:56:28.580
Maybe plant in some smokes and they have a lot of them here.

09:56:29.340 --> 09:56:32.780
The nine of a good coach is to be able to find multiple different opportunities,

09:56:32.780 --> 09:56:36.260
know what the defense could go for, so it's not going to fully catch them off guard,

09:56:36.260 --> 09:56:38.460
even if it waits a little bit of that time up.

09:56:38.780 --> 09:56:41.300
I'm just astonished at how fast he's able to spit that information out.

09:56:41.300 --> 09:56:44.500
I think I'm a pretty quick talker, but I feel out of breath listening to him.

09:56:44.500 --> 09:56:46.380
I really need up my cardio.

09:56:46.620 --> 09:56:48.940
These Brazilian coaches, they sure know how to spit the information.

09:56:48.940 --> 09:56:50.420
I believe...

09:56:50.740 --> 09:56:55.740
I have to focus. I'm just looking down, just trying to think, what are they saying?

09:56:55.740 --> 09:56:56.740
Yeah.

09:56:56.740 --> 09:57:04.740
Too much stimuli makes it hard to understand if DarkZero ultimately win this, we go to overtime, wildcard, prevail, we go to cafe.

09:57:04.740 --> 09:57:16.740
Either way, FaZe Clan will be the opponent for these teams tomorrow, so the Brazilians get to drop a map through this entire event, the defending two-time world champions.

09:57:16.740 --> 09:57:27.740
They love these teams beating the stuffing out of each other, and the more maps that these teams play, the more they will have to prep for tomorrow's game, and you know they best be feeling mighty comfortable no matter which NA team it is.

09:57:27.740 --> 09:57:33.740
Don't worry about the nitro, they got it. Don't worry about it. It was EMPed, but there was a timer on the EMP, so it gets shot.

09:57:33.740 --> 09:57:42.740
This has been a real nightmare of a U-Till game over on the jail wall, men. I mean, they've been really trying to get this wall open since the round began, and still no luck.

09:57:42.740 --> 09:57:49.060
Yeah, this is really difficult. I mean, we're trying to go for a direct take into a bandit too, which is probably

09:57:49.060 --> 09:57:51.000
I don't even know if that's the right call

09:57:51.000 --> 09:57:54.460
But they are seeing like behind cold on the game if they do get this wall open

09:57:54.460 --> 09:57:59.220
There isn't any warden or really any vision up. So a direct call could be really good here

09:57:59.500 --> 09:58:05.380
Well, they wasted almost well more than half the round really but they finally get the wall open to brow cannot delay the entire

09:58:05.380 --> 09:58:10.420
Three minutes. Thank God, but still with all of that time easy have been able to hold on to the top floor

09:58:10.420 --> 09:58:12.820
There's not really any map that will help by Wildcard.

09:58:12.820 --> 09:58:14.300
Look at how active this is.

09:58:14.300 --> 09:58:15.720
The Nitro Cell goes out.

09:58:15.720 --> 09:58:17.860
J9O was lined up for another.

09:58:17.860 --> 09:58:18.780
Bolts will go down.

09:58:18.780 --> 09:58:22.020
If the hands are hot and cold, Wildcard quite even their lives.

09:58:22.020 --> 09:58:24.260
They do not want overtime to be followed.

09:58:24.260 --> 09:58:27.140
But Darkseal have other ideas.

09:58:27.140 --> 09:58:29.580
Jail opened up.

09:58:29.580 --> 09:58:31.300
Now, next steps for Wildcard.

09:58:31.300 --> 09:58:33.300
Just under a minute to go.

09:58:33.300 --> 09:58:35.180
Looking for one of these opportunities still.

09:58:35.180 --> 09:58:37.140
The drone information's been solid for Wildcard.

09:58:37.140 --> 09:58:39.460
But these players up above have yet to really been dealt with.

09:58:39.460 --> 09:58:43.100
There's been no attention paid to Jane I know no attention paid to these tall floors

09:58:43.100 --> 09:58:47.500
He is alone up here, but even still if you can get a work play that could be so critical to end the round

09:58:48.060 --> 09:58:54.100
Worry about stalling out for wild card. They've sputtered a little bit over the last couple rounds taking their foot off the gas

09:58:54.100 --> 09:58:55.740
There's Jane. I know

09:58:55.740 --> 09:58:57.740
Shark hunting the spear will go through

09:58:58.380 --> 09:59:03.860
They now getting defused get down can Delos go off to obscure it pay at the halfway point natural so goes

09:59:03.860 --> 09:59:09.860
It's good! DarkZero just bought themselves some serious time, but Kansan shuts down Neuers.

09:59:09.860 --> 09:59:15.300
Now Kansan's sustaining serious damage, there goes Hotten. Kansan knows it's a done deal.

09:59:15.300 --> 09:59:19.860
DZ win three of their own, and we go to X-Grimmings.

09:59:19.860 --> 09:59:28.660
It can never be easy between these two NA Titans. DarkZero will not allow Wildcard to escape in regulation.

09:59:28.660 --> 09:59:33.620
6-6, and it all comes down to the U2 game, the stall, and that 1v1 top floor.

09:59:33.620 --> 09:59:34.620
What a round.

09:59:41.540 --> 09:59:43.040
You set up a stall with the

09:59:44.780 --> 09:59:47.840
bandit in the two growl like that's what worries me sometimes

09:59:47.840 --> 09:59:50.600
that these real strategic coaches is do we have like the

09:59:50.600 --> 09:59:53.840
thinking power, the IGN power in game or the freedom in game

09:59:54.080 --> 09:59:56.600
to kind of make a different call from what we're seeing from the

09:59:56.600 --> 09:59:58.280
operators because to me the top

09:59:58.600 --> 10:00:00.760
top players probably looking like maybe a better option here

10:00:00.760 --> 10:00:02.360
instead of wasting two minutes at the site.

10:00:02.360 --> 10:00:04.360
He also wanted them to work the workshop pick.

10:00:04.360 --> 10:00:06.280
They never even had enough time to look over there

10:00:06.280 --> 10:00:08.200
because they were worried about the wall the whole time.

10:00:08.200 --> 10:00:10.700
They were susceptible to that C4 out the window, which

10:00:10.700 --> 10:00:13.560
is something we were doing on DZ like four years ago,

10:00:13.560 --> 10:00:15.960
by the way, that we're still not ready for.

10:00:15.960 --> 10:00:17.520
It just has me a little bit worried.

10:00:17.520 --> 10:00:20.080
And this is all after Hot and Cold was asking Darkseer

10:00:20.080 --> 10:00:22.920
to call a timeout when they were up 6-3,

10:00:22.920 --> 10:00:24.600
and they haven't won a round after that.

10:00:24.600 --> 10:00:26.080
That's karma.

10:00:26.080 --> 10:00:28.360
I mean, I hate to say his name, but a lot of us

10:00:28.360 --> 10:00:32.000
really does get down to Baby Shark being shut down so

10:00:32.000 --> 10:00:38.160
effectively by DarkZero now. It's hard to gauge whether it's you falling short of your own expectations

10:00:38.160 --> 10:00:43.280
or your opponents just simply having your number. But for a guy who came in as the best player on

10:00:43.280 --> 10:00:50.240
this roster, he is a point ahead of Spiker for worse in the entire game. That's exactly right,

10:00:50.240 --> 10:00:54.880
Park. I mean, they relied on Maybechart to get to this point here, top 8 in the playoffs. He was

10:00:54.880 --> 10:01:01.120
on pace before this game to have the best career or the best event of his career. 111 EPS plus 18

10:01:01.120 --> 10:01:06.400
coming into this, but if he can't find some way to dig deep, if he can't perform for his team on the biggest stage,

10:01:06.800 --> 10:01:14.040
it's not worth it in the end. Unfortunately for him, he just went up against DZ and an NA regional farming team.

10:01:15.240 --> 10:01:18.440
They're actually going to be going for the weapon here in security.

10:01:19.040 --> 10:01:23.640
Mirrors having sensational outings so far, we come to expect that from player Vizcalibur.

10:01:23.960 --> 10:01:26.720
12 kills in round one, he's matched that tally now here.

10:01:26.720 --> 10:01:32.720
On-border plenty of time for him to amass even more as we will get two more rounds, potentially a third.

10:01:32.720 --> 10:01:38.720
A limited OT is not on the board here, so one of these teams will ultimately prevail in the next 10 minutes.

10:01:38.720 --> 10:01:44.720
First to eight on-border. The first 60 seconds of this overtime have gone without too much impact, but here comes a play from day.

10:01:44.720 --> 10:01:50.720
And the run around, but he misses the opportunity. They've got him dead to rights.

10:01:50.720 --> 10:01:55.720
Suddenly Baby Shark will swim into uncharted waters.

10:01:55.720 --> 10:02:01.560
You know holding down the fort buying as much time as possible baby shark looking for the fall of over towards the break room

10:02:01.560 --> 10:02:08.100
Area, they doing double duty now dancing around these days. Keto will land it blowing bay sky high

10:02:10.840 --> 10:02:16.180
Goodbye to Kansan dark zero firing up the war machine. You got faults already walking towards sight

10:02:16.180 --> 10:02:21.000
But thank goodness for baby shark suddenly hot and colds on the board as well. NGR will shut down the shark

10:02:21.000 --> 10:02:26.220
DarkZero still with the advantage here. These teams coming to blows with plenty of time left in the round

10:02:26.420 --> 10:02:31.040
It's the IGLs again. The brain power on the team. Can it also be the clutch power?

10:02:31.040 --> 10:02:35.500
We said hot and colds, one of the most clutch players at this event. Can he make magic happen again in overtime?

10:02:36.000 --> 10:02:40.660
Information seems good for DarkZero though. So much time to play with Hinkino. He's been excellent on the block here today.

10:02:40.960 --> 10:02:46.700
Trying to take this space towards the top floor. J9o firing off to find these frags. They forced them back. No kills just yet.

10:02:46.960 --> 10:02:48.960
55 seconds is continues to tick.

10:02:48.960 --> 10:02:53.360
I think spiker might have one here. I don't think they have the information on them like we're saying

10:02:53.360 --> 10:02:57.720
I don't see anyone on drones for DZ. We're just kind of watching at the moment. Looks like Jane. I know

10:02:58.320 --> 10:03:00.320
You're actually a drone behind them

10:03:01.840 --> 10:03:03.840
I might have heard them

10:03:04.120 --> 10:03:09.640
They seem to have to read maybe not and the drop immediately follows the kill

10:03:10.120 --> 10:03:13.120
Diffuse kitten on the hands of either remaining dark zero player

10:03:13.640 --> 10:03:16.560
The brain trust as you called them spiker and hot and cold

10:03:16.560 --> 10:03:21.560
Right now on 19 kills, Han cold leading the way on his team.

10:03:21.560 --> 10:03:26.560
He does not want this to be the end of this major, though he didn't think he would make it here.

10:03:26.560 --> 10:03:28.560
What a performance it's been.

10:03:28.560 --> 10:03:30.560
A 13th kill for Matthew Stevens.

10:03:30.560 --> 10:03:32.560
Who will find J-9-0?

10:03:32.560 --> 10:03:35.560
How about Matthew Stevens again?

10:03:35.560 --> 10:03:43.560
A huge round from Wildcard, and they stave off defeat for the time being, going up back to match point.

10:03:43.560 --> 10:03:53.560
The match point, the captain and the substitute, the two IGLs staying alive and straight to the text chat, lost in the sloth.

10:03:53.560 --> 10:03:59.560
Why are we, why are we or a farming right now, Hockfold? We were up 6-3. Just close it out, please.

10:04:01.560 --> 10:04:07.560
Start to worry in moments like this, but you also got to keep the vibes up, right? I mean, you've kind of thrown this lead already.

10:04:07.560 --> 10:04:10.560
You're worried about how that round was going. It should have been a DZ round.

10:04:10.560 --> 10:04:13.620
you know, I thought was excellent in this position with the Blackbeard.

10:04:13.620 --> 10:04:17.020
He's got that Nade frag forced early on to get that security player.

10:04:17.020 --> 10:04:20.860
It was taking a really good space, but it was that mid-round frag from Baby Shark,

10:04:20.860 --> 10:04:22.360
and then Hot and Cold is spikered.

10:04:22.360 --> 10:04:26.520
Really the duo. You wouldn't expect the chemistry as they've not really played together in the past,

10:04:26.520 --> 10:04:29.600
but this event, they've shown all of the coordination in the world.

10:04:30.100 --> 10:04:33.600
I will say this, never having been a player, and you can correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

10:04:33.860 --> 10:04:37.460
One of the greatest things that I have heard from players, and one thing that I've observed myself,

10:04:37.460 --> 10:04:39.600
is how easy it is to play around Hot and Cold.

10:04:39.600 --> 10:04:46.400
He can flourish on a support role, he can flourish on shields, he can flourish on IGL, and you can make him frag if he needs to.

10:04:46.400 --> 10:04:48.900
And I imagine that's quite the boon here for the Wild Hunt.

10:04:49.900 --> 10:04:52.900
They're setting me up to glaze him again. I mean, this is insane.

10:04:52.900 --> 10:04:53.400
Yeah.

10:04:53.400 --> 10:04:54.300
That's why we brought Yanni.

10:04:54.300 --> 10:04:59.700
Yeah, I mean, Han Kohl, like, we put him on Thermite when he was 18, but he's always been a fragger, right?

10:04:59.700 --> 10:05:04.200
The Ashmane from California with a ping advantage way back in the day.

10:05:04.200 --> 10:05:04.700
Like, yes, sir.

10:05:04.700 --> 10:05:09.140
If he needs to 14 kills, I mean, could you ask for a better super sub right now?

10:05:09.140 --> 10:05:12.420
This is actually insane. No, this is exactly what they needed out of hot and cold

10:05:12.420 --> 10:05:16.660
He has shown up big time for his temporary team here at the Salt Lake City major

10:05:16.660 --> 10:05:22.740
But still they need one more round in order to force us on to cafe. We've gone to bathroom and tellers

10:05:22.740 --> 10:05:25.500
This is the bonfire where we saw wildcard go for that crazy rush

10:05:25.500 --> 10:05:29.140
They can't do that again. They try it once more. It'll easily be read by BZ

10:05:29.140 --> 10:05:31.140
So it's not a me a different approach

10:05:31.140 --> 10:05:35.200
Starting on the west side going to clear some of these positions over towards jail

10:05:35.200 --> 10:05:40.320
Over to war is archives. They've got different opportunities to get into the map, but there's problems up on the top floor

10:05:40.320 --> 10:05:44.640
It's got NJRVs. You've got Kino inside of office. You've got Faultons out of lockers

10:05:44.640 --> 10:05:48.440
I mean so many players with pop score to deal with so what's the game plan for wild card?

10:05:48.600 --> 10:05:53.240
No distinctive advantage here with attackers or defenders three three halves across the board to get us to this point

10:05:53.240 --> 10:05:55.600
So he's a coin toss here

10:05:56.560 --> 10:06:00.840
Yeah, I mean this just looks like they're just trying to do that same pool strategy right now hot and cold outside

10:06:00.840 --> 10:06:04.280
window with the sense just kind of baiting that same take with opening the passport wall.

10:06:04.280 --> 10:06:08.680
But we actually have Spiker outside of customs. Maybe more looking for a horizontal take.

10:06:08.680 --> 10:06:12.440
Customs is completely free. I mean Newers is kind of looking to retake it right now.

10:06:12.440 --> 10:06:16.120
Might be reading into this. He's really worried about being picked off. There goes Han cold the

10:06:16.120 --> 10:06:20.600
bolts. The blitz of Spiker is in off to the races. They found an exploit. There's a path to the bomb

10:06:20.600 --> 10:06:26.120
site and Baby Shark wins the duel against Newers. Spiker hoping for enough coverage. He's had to

10:06:26.120 --> 10:06:27.220
to peel off the defuse kit.

10:06:27.220 --> 10:06:29.820
Chase now, they taking some serious damage.

10:06:29.820 --> 10:06:32.180
It's an absolute brawl.

10:06:32.180 --> 10:06:34.720
Nobody right now coming out ahead.

10:06:34.720 --> 10:06:36.260
NJR will take down Kansas.

10:06:36.260 --> 10:06:40.100
Spike are still here, light-wishing, breathing in that gas.

10:06:40.100 --> 10:06:42.000
He's not long for this Earth.

10:06:42.000 --> 10:06:45.020
Baby Shark in a 1v3 looking to make some noise,

10:06:45.020 --> 10:06:47.140
but DarkZero are locking down the bomb site.

10:06:47.140 --> 10:06:49.140
They have control of the case.

10:06:50.260 --> 10:06:51.540
It doesn't have any utility left.

10:06:51.540 --> 10:06:53.060
Just throwing up the last flashbang,

10:06:53.060 --> 10:06:55.460
and it's NJR to shut us down.

10:06:55.460 --> 10:07:00.460
A single round will determine whether we have a third map or a victor in Dark Zero.

10:07:02.460 --> 10:07:07.460
It was a great response out of Dark Zero. They retook cat control. They actually kind of right into that newer's.

10:07:07.460 --> 10:07:12.460
Unfortunately, lost the fight. That was a big fight to get a B-shark right there. I thought that was the round winner. I'm not going to lie.

10:07:12.460 --> 10:07:18.460
But I think it was the defender that retook cat. He didn't have any, Spiker didn't have any cover. He couldn't plant the bomb.

10:07:18.460 --> 10:07:22.460
He couldn't plant the case. So he sat there waiting to see if they can make something happen.

10:07:22.460 --> 10:07:24.340
And you saw the chaos in the site.

10:07:24.340 --> 10:07:25.740
They didn't even know Spike's position.

10:07:25.740 --> 10:07:26.820
One player was smoking.

10:07:26.820 --> 10:07:28.140
The other had his back to him.

10:07:28.140 --> 10:07:30.180
It was not a clean round for Dark Zero.

10:07:30.180 --> 10:07:31.100
But you know what?

10:07:31.100 --> 10:07:32.100
They don't ask how.

10:07:32.100 --> 10:07:34.220
All that matters is that we're headed straight

10:07:34.220 --> 10:07:35.980
towards round 15.

10:07:35.980 --> 10:07:38.140
Missed that play from Giannino retaking Catwalk,

10:07:38.140 --> 10:07:38.940
just as you were saying.

10:07:38.940 --> 10:07:41.180
Mint's so critical to grab back control in,

10:07:41.180 --> 10:07:43.260
but also around the bomb site.

10:07:43.260 --> 10:07:45.620
Dark Zero maybe a little bit more comfortable on board

10:07:45.620 --> 10:07:47.260
and it's showing at the final hour.

10:07:47.260 --> 10:07:50.580
I will say when Wildcard defended all the way back 30

10:07:50.580 --> 10:07:55.620
minutes ago in those first six rounds they won on Armory twice they won

10:07:55.620 --> 10:07:58.900
bathroom tellers once the only bomb say that they won here and overtime was

10:07:58.900 --> 10:08:03.660
completely different sites so they have options at their disposal where they

10:08:03.660 --> 10:08:07.180
want to go is really up to them and they're gonna go to bathroom tellers

10:08:07.180 --> 10:08:12.740
so how did it go? All the way back around number three they persevered they

10:08:12.740 --> 10:08:17.420
with the clutch after Kino got the fuser down ultimately a very good round for

10:08:17.420 --> 10:08:21.580
wild card, but that was ages ago. That might as well have been a whole other map again.

10:08:21.580 --> 10:08:25.500
Are they going to be able to learn from that? Will we see three consecutive defender victories?

10:08:25.500 --> 10:08:30.300
If that ends up unveiling, we go to cafe and we need one more map.

10:08:30.300 --> 10:08:34.940
No matter what the circumstance, round 15 always demands a hero. And I gotta say, since

10:08:34.940 --> 10:08:39.660
mentioning his name, Baby Shark has really stepped it up here on border. He has had some

10:08:39.660 --> 10:08:44.260
critical frags in the mid-round, both rounds of overtime so far. If he could be the difference

10:08:44.260 --> 10:08:50.560
He's playing Warden on site, so might not be super involved early, but watch out for these high-impact players on Wildfire.

10:08:50.560 --> 10:08:55.760
This is a team who've made deep run after deep run after deep run at so many events in the past.

10:08:55.760 --> 10:08:58.260
One more. It's so close to them here.

10:08:59.260 --> 10:09:01.260
Yeah, I'm worried again. We...

10:09:01.260 --> 10:09:04.260
A lot of fast players. This is gonna be the base of a Wildfire just in.

10:09:04.260 --> 10:09:06.760
They saw it and they liked it very much, so they're gonna go in.

10:09:06.760 --> 10:09:09.260
Das being breathed in by this Dark Zero team.

10:09:09.260 --> 10:09:14.260
The Warden purge is on with commando pro Lutkin, Akina, books down as well.

10:09:14.260 --> 10:09:16.260
The Sharkhunt is by new orders.

10:09:16.260 --> 10:09:18.260
Hot and cold sustaining some damage.

10:09:18.260 --> 10:09:22.260
Inside the site, they're tossing for control this tug-of-war between the teams.

10:09:22.260 --> 10:09:27.260
And there might be a brief ceasefire now as things slow down.

10:09:27.260 --> 10:09:30.260
Bay might be dead, but we are in the eye of the storm.

10:09:30.260 --> 10:09:33.260
Spiker opportunity taught me. Seize the handbook.

10:09:33.260 --> 10:09:38.260
No! NGR is better in man advantage for Dark Zero.

10:09:38.260 --> 10:09:40.260
Who put him on ash?

10:09:42.340 --> 10:09:44.340
The right call it would seem

10:09:47.140 --> 10:09:49.140
No

10:09:51.060 --> 10:09:55.460
If this is the end it's been one hell of a run from this wild card team playing with the sub

10:10:08.260 --> 10:10:10.260
finals!

10:10:10.260 --> 10:10:12.260
Darn, this is your ally!

10:10:12.260 --> 10:10:14.260
That's like FDZ, isn't it?

10:10:14.260 --> 10:10:16.260
2-0 for them as they move on.

10:10:16.260 --> 10:10:18.260
What a statement, Atrium Dark 0.

10:10:18.260 --> 10:10:20.260
Against their regional opponents,

10:10:20.260 --> 10:10:22.260
they beat them so many times in the past.

10:10:22.260 --> 10:10:24.260
13-1 record here,

10:10:24.260 --> 10:10:26.260
but so much to play for.

10:10:26.260 --> 10:10:28.260
They let their entire heart out on the stage.

10:10:28.260 --> 10:10:30.260
In mids, you gotta feel bad for these

10:10:30.260 --> 10:10:32.260
Blancark guys. They played so well just to get here.

10:10:32.260 --> 10:10:34.260
Played so well, and on their map,

10:10:34.260 --> 10:10:36.260
they got 6-3. Plenty of potential

10:10:36.260 --> 10:10:39.460
to bring about any of those rounds and close them out.

10:10:39.460 --> 10:10:41.020
But it doesn't really matter.

10:10:41.020 --> 10:10:43.620
I mean, again, they have a sub for this tournament.

10:10:43.620 --> 10:10:46.060
That's not going to go and pick those rounds apart.

10:10:46.060 --> 10:10:47.900
They had a hell of a turn at the underdog story.

10:10:47.900 --> 10:10:49.020
It was almost there.

10:10:49.020 --> 10:10:50.860
And you see respect being shown once again,

10:10:50.860 --> 10:10:51.980
hot and cold in Kino.

10:10:51.980 --> 10:10:55.860
They lifted the hammer together six months ago in Munich.

10:10:55.860 --> 10:10:57.540
But it won't be together here.

10:10:57.540 --> 10:10:58.900
Only one could move on.

10:10:58.900 --> 10:10:59.980
And today it's Kino.

10:10:59.980 --> 10:11:02.460
Well, North America will have two teams in the semifinals.

10:11:02.460 --> 10:11:05.140
So there will be much to cheer for as we move on.

10:11:05.140 --> 10:11:08.380
The wall card was really hoping that Adrian's visa would clear in time.

10:11:08.380 --> 10:11:09.980
They waited, they waited, they waited.

10:11:09.980 --> 10:11:14.080
Alas, for no reason, it was not able to be done.

10:11:14.080 --> 10:11:18.660
Hotpult stepped into a tough situation and ignored all the N80 stuff in the background

10:11:18.660 --> 10:11:23.260
of what a performance it was from him to try and make this as close as possible.

10:11:23.260 --> 10:11:26.300
But DZ just loved their all NA matchups.

10:11:26.300 --> 10:11:30.620
The last time that a North American team made the grand finals on home soil, it was this

10:11:30.620 --> 10:11:31.620
squad.

10:11:31.620 --> 10:11:36.320
different players, but this organization that took home a trophy and made you were a key

10:11:36.320 --> 10:11:41.180
part of that DZ, still very much in the running and tomorrow they will play up against the

10:11:41.180 --> 10:11:44.500
two time defending world champions in FaZe Clan.

10:11:44.500 --> 10:11:48.620
Don't really gonna get harder here at the Salt Lake City Major, but that's exactly what

10:11:48.620 --> 10:11:53.540
they signed up for DarkZero, a huge roster change coming into the season and it's paid

10:11:53.540 --> 10:11:54.540
off so far.

10:11:54.540 --> 10:12:01.060
We know it was a long day, but it was an exciting day and let's cap it off with Kena on stage.

10:12:01.060 --> 10:12:03.060
Thank you very much, Parker.

10:12:03.060 --> 10:12:08.060
Dark Zero, a semi-finalist here in Salt Lake City.

10:12:08.060 --> 10:12:14.060
Kino, that was a crazy map, too.

10:12:14.060 --> 10:12:15.060
Oh, yeah.

10:12:15.060 --> 10:12:17.060
We love the 7-7s.

10:12:17.060 --> 10:12:18.060
You look the best ones.

10:12:18.060 --> 10:12:21.060
You do love them, and I'm getting the impression

10:12:21.060 --> 10:12:24.060
that you're really enjoying playing in a Dark Zero jersey.

10:12:24.060 --> 10:12:26.060
How much are you enjoying being a part of this roster?

10:12:26.060 --> 10:12:27.060
Oh, I love it.

10:12:27.060 --> 10:12:29.060
I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else.

10:12:29.060 --> 10:12:30.840
I like the full black day, even.

10:12:30.840 --> 10:12:33.940
Starks, no shoes, it's wonderful out here.

10:12:33.940 --> 10:12:35.980
Now, what I love about this as well,

10:12:35.980 --> 10:12:38.480
we are literally just a matter of meters away

10:12:38.480 --> 10:12:41.040
from your mum and dad who are watching.

10:12:41.040 --> 10:12:44.020
Can we just make some noise for mum and dad down here?

10:12:44.020 --> 10:12:45.680
Yeah!

10:12:45.680 --> 10:12:46.320
Are you enjoying it?

10:12:46.320 --> 10:12:47.520
Does it give any more pressure?

10:12:47.520 --> 10:12:50.080
Is it amazing to play in front of them?

10:12:50.080 --> 10:12:51.720
Yeah, it's great fun playing in front of my dad

10:12:51.720 --> 10:12:54.120
and my girlfriend's also here somewhere.

10:12:54.120 --> 10:12:55.720
And yeah, it feels good,

10:12:55.720 --> 10:12:56.920
it feels good to win in front of them.

10:12:56.920 --> 10:12:58.160
We'll see what happens.

10:12:58.160 --> 10:13:03.040
You obviously lifted a major trophy not that long ago alongside Hot and Cold.

10:13:03.040 --> 10:13:05.120
You just had to shake his hand and wave him off.

10:13:05.120 --> 10:13:07.280
Was there any emotion there?

10:13:07.280 --> 10:13:09.600
No, that's my boy, kind of the day.

10:13:09.600 --> 10:13:10.880
Yep.

10:13:10.880 --> 10:13:14.400
And can you see yourself raising another trophy here?

10:13:14.400 --> 10:13:17.120
Because to do it tomorrow, first things first,

10:13:17.120 --> 10:13:20.000
you need to be arguably the best team in the world in Faze Man.

10:13:20.800 --> 10:13:22.560
I'll be honest, I'm not really thinking about that.

10:13:22.560 --> 10:13:23.840
We're just playing the game in front of us.

10:13:24.640 --> 10:13:26.240
Don't care about the trophy, don't care about Faze,

10:13:26.240 --> 10:13:27.360
don't care if I think you're just playing.

10:13:27.360 --> 10:13:30.280
I can't wait to see you in action once again tomorrow.

10:13:30.280 --> 10:13:31.280
Great to see you.

10:13:31.280 --> 10:13:32.280
Well done.

10:13:32.280 --> 10:13:33.280
Big up moment, Dad.

10:13:33.280 --> 10:13:34.280
And the girlfriend as well.

10:13:34.280 --> 10:13:36.840
Kino goes to join the rest of his teammates.

10:13:36.840 --> 10:13:38.440
Dax Hero are in the semifinals.

10:19:27.360 --> 10:19:33.080
game and in an NA versus NA grudge match, we knew it would be about adaptability, about

10:19:33.080 --> 10:19:37.880
changing things up on the fly, and that is where DZ won the game.

10:19:37.880 --> 10:19:38.880
Yeah, absolutely.

10:19:38.880 --> 10:19:40.380
I mean, you have to look at the timeout coming from Wildtart.

10:19:40.380 --> 10:19:43.280
I think that's where really everything started to fall apart for them.

10:19:43.280 --> 10:19:46.240
I don't know why it came out where it did, and then we also heard they definitely did

10:19:46.240 --> 10:19:48.240
a bait and switch on that timeout.

10:19:48.240 --> 10:19:49.560
They were getting prepped for armor.

10:19:49.560 --> 10:19:53.520
You could hear from Lugonis and how they wanted to set up, and immediately it got instantly

10:19:53.520 --> 10:19:54.520
turned on ahead.

10:19:54.520 --> 10:19:59.520
DarkZero went to Customs, completely caught them off guard, and they didn't know how to respond from there.

10:19:59.520 --> 10:20:11.520
But they even pushed that pass further. I mean, there was the one Archive Teller round, whether it was the one Teller's round, based on Teller's bathroom round, where they went for that quick execute or Z-Times jump into that window, try to go for that plant.

10:20:11.520 --> 10:20:18.520
What I would have much rather have them see is they know. DarkZero knows that Wildcard can throw away some rounds.

10:20:18.520 --> 10:20:24.400
What I would have rather had Wildcard season do is bait for that plant to move DarkZero around the map,

10:20:24.400 --> 10:20:29.520
then take the round, take the site, take the control, and then essentially shoot fish in a barrel.

10:20:29.520 --> 10:20:36.320
It was really Wildcard's game to win here to push to a map 3, and every single time they gave it away to DarkZero.

10:20:36.320 --> 10:20:41.320
Yeah, I mean, we talked about it, map 1 was an instance of, you know, DarkZero was really winning it out in the later rounds.

10:20:41.320 --> 10:20:45.200
They're a set team, they're not playing with a stand-in like Wildcard is, but at the end of the day,

10:20:45.200 --> 10:20:48.700
You've got to give credit for Wildcard and that being said hot and cold himself

10:20:48.700 --> 10:20:53.740
I mean I found myself watching that game and sometimes thinking to myself if hot and cold wasn't here

10:20:53.940 --> 10:20:58.440
Do wildcard even make it this far? It felt like he was keeping them alive in this series

10:20:58.440 --> 10:21:02.200
He's been having an amazing tournament so far. I know it's a team game at the end of the day

10:21:02.200 --> 10:21:03.400
Wildcard is a great team

10:21:03.400 --> 10:21:09.200
But that being said it felt like a little bit of inconsistencies issues that happen because they're just playing with us up

10:21:09.200 --> 10:21:11.200
It is what it is feels like that is a

10:21:11.200 --> 10:21:15.880
The 7-3, if Hot and Cold is not having the game that he is having, Baby Shark was a little

10:21:15.880 --> 10:21:21.900
quiet and given that he was a key component of Wildcard's success so far in Salt Lake

10:21:21.900 --> 10:21:23.400
City, it really hurt them.

10:21:23.400 --> 10:21:26.960
I mean, but again, regardless of focusing on Hot and Cold's performance, like I said,

10:21:26.960 --> 10:21:31.200
they were up 6-3 and even in some of the rounds that I was originally going to try to grab,

10:21:31.200 --> 10:21:36.240
they had those rounds, Kansan in that one post-plant, he was unfortunately missed on

10:21:36.240 --> 10:21:39.240
the diffuser of whoever's covering over him, I believe there was one second left.

10:21:39.240 --> 10:21:40.240
That could have been a 7-3.

10:21:40.240 --> 10:21:41.080
could have been another round,

10:21:41.080 --> 10:21:42.600
or could have been a 7-2, essentially.

10:21:42.600 --> 10:21:45.000
I mean, it's these small, crucial mistakes

10:21:45.000 --> 10:21:47.280
that end up punishing in a situation like this.

10:21:47.280 --> 10:21:50.160
It costs them their entire campaign here at SLC.

10:21:50.160 --> 10:21:52.200
And all in that I am a little heartbroken

10:21:52.200 --> 10:21:54.720
that the hot and cold revenge story comes to an end,

10:21:54.720 --> 10:21:58.080
but I am stoked for the dark zero story

10:21:58.080 --> 10:22:00.960
that is just starting to come together

10:22:00.960 --> 10:22:04.920
because tomorrow they take on the world champs.

10:22:04.920 --> 10:22:07.960
FaZe Clan are the next one coming under their gun.

10:22:07.960 --> 10:22:10.400
I mean, you're going to go through that huge, crazy series

10:22:10.400 --> 10:22:12.920
against Wildcard, breathe a little bit of fresh air,

10:22:12.920 --> 10:22:15.640
wake up tomorrow, and then you're going against the world

10:22:15.640 --> 10:22:16.400
champions.

10:22:16.400 --> 10:22:18.800
I mean, I can't say I'm too envious on that upper side

10:22:18.800 --> 10:22:19.480
of the bracket.

10:22:19.480 --> 10:22:21.080
I mean, it really is at the end of the day,

10:22:21.080 --> 10:22:23.880
who's going to be able to beat FaZe if any of the teams still

10:22:23.880 --> 10:22:25.560
in the tournament can beat FaZe?

10:22:25.560 --> 10:22:28.120
We're assuming it's going to be a gray match versus Dark Zero.

10:22:28.120 --> 10:22:30.760
But at the end of the day, even if FaZe make it to the final,

10:22:30.760 --> 10:22:33.120
SR twisted minds, it's an uphill battle

10:22:33.120 --> 10:22:35.960
no matter what against the double-time invitational

10:22:35.960 --> 10:22:36.480
champion.

10:22:36.480 --> 10:22:41.000
So either way, you cut it, somebody has to be face.

10:22:41.000 --> 10:22:43.200
It is true that this one could go either way.

10:22:43.200 --> 10:22:44.840
I mean, you look at the bracket,

10:22:44.840 --> 10:22:47.880
it's going to be a bumpy finish for all of these teams.

10:22:47.880 --> 10:22:50.000
S.R. has to take on the twisted mind.

10:22:50.000 --> 10:22:52.160
So there's a lot of seats yet to be played.

10:22:52.160 --> 10:22:55.080
You can still get your predictions in if you haven't already.

10:22:55.080 --> 10:22:58.000
You can head over to the R6 Esports website,

10:22:58.000 --> 10:22:59.760
and you can win some prizes.

10:22:59.760 --> 10:23:01.400
So if you haven't done that, make

10:23:01.400 --> 10:23:04.920
sure to do it before the matches get underway tomorrow.

10:23:04.920 --> 10:23:07.080
But Lex, I mean, you excited about the matches?

10:23:07.080 --> 10:23:08.960
We got about two semifinals coming our way.

10:23:08.960 --> 10:23:10.200
Today, absolutely delivered.

10:23:10.200 --> 10:23:13.720
And again, every storyline is being made here in these moments.

10:23:13.720 --> 10:23:17.320
I mean, even for tomorrow, if SR or the side of Twist of Minds makes it,

10:23:17.320 --> 10:23:18.720
that's another piece of history.

10:23:18.720 --> 10:23:21.640
Not only for SR, they're able to attend a grand final at that point.

10:23:21.640 --> 10:23:23.880
And then even for the Mena region, once again,

10:23:23.880 --> 10:23:25.800
we've never seen them here at a semifinal.

10:23:25.800 --> 10:23:26.960
They're going to be here in a semifinal.

10:23:26.960 --> 10:23:27.920
They push it once that further.

10:23:27.920 --> 10:23:29.400
We've never seen them in a grand final.

10:23:29.400 --> 10:23:30.200
Again, history.

10:23:30.200 --> 10:23:31.600
There's so many storylines.

10:23:31.600 --> 10:23:32.920
I'm excited to get into tomorrow.

10:23:32.920 --> 10:23:35.920
And as an NA fan, we have two chances of making it.

10:23:35.920 --> 10:23:39.080
Wait, if I do, there might be a little copium on one side of him.

10:23:39.080 --> 10:23:41.240
At the end of the day, but yeah, there's so much story.

10:23:41.240 --> 10:23:42.600
I mean, three new teams that are going

10:23:42.600 --> 10:23:45.040
to be able to make it to the final besides Faze.

10:23:45.040 --> 10:23:46.920
So that's why I think there are the Titans.

10:23:46.920 --> 10:23:48.160
Everyone's looking at me.

10:23:48.160 --> 10:23:49.680
And if DarkZero can take him out,

10:23:49.680 --> 10:23:51.560
that makes the final even that much more juice here,

10:23:51.560 --> 10:23:54.600
because we've never seen two of these teams in a final play

10:23:54.600 --> 10:23:55.480
against each other before.

10:23:55.480 --> 10:23:58.440
Well, DarkZero and Faze will be the second match tomorrow.

10:23:58.440 --> 10:24:03.240
We will warm things up at 1 PM with Shopify Rebellion

10:24:03.240 --> 10:24:04.320
and Twisted Minds.

10:24:04.320 --> 10:24:05.840
To everyone who's tuned in today

10:24:05.840 --> 10:24:08.120
for our marathon of a quarter final day,

10:24:08.120 --> 10:24:09.440
thank you so much for watching.

10:24:09.440 --> 10:24:11.560
To the crowd here in Salt Lake City,

10:24:11.560 --> 10:24:12.520
you've been amazing.

10:24:12.520 --> 10:24:14.640
We look forward to more action tomorrow.

10:24:14.640 --> 10:24:15.560
Thank you so much.

10:24:15.560 --> 10:24:18.760
The action continues tomorrow at 1 PM.

10:24:18.760 --> 10:24:20.080
We'll see you then.

10:24:20.080 --> 10:24:22.080
I
