WEBVTT

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
Good luck, good luck.

07:02.000 --> 07:05.000
I don't know the name of the gun, so that's going to be the problem.

07:09.000 --> 07:10.000
Smoke?

07:10.000 --> 07:11.000
Finca.

07:15.000 --> 07:17.000
It could sound a little bad though.

07:20.000 --> 07:21.000
Callie.

07:23.000 --> 07:24.000
You know that one?

07:24.000 --> 07:25.000
I knew what I was doing.

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000
Okay, okay.

07:26.000 --> 07:34.960
I'm 870, this is kind of sad how good I am at this.

07:34.960 --> 07:37.960
I'm 27.

07:37.960 --> 07:42.480
Bro, when you pre-fired that shit, like...

07:42.480 --> 07:45.280
Yeah, I think we had a few good rounds in the beginning.

07:45.280 --> 07:46.280
I mean, I could just...

07:46.280 --> 07:47.280
I could just take two more.

07:47.280 --> 07:48.280
Okay, I'm just gonna guess.

07:48.280 --> 07:49.280
It sounds like Phillip Puck.

07:49.280 --> 07:50.280
Yeah, I think we had a few good rounds in the beginning.

07:50.280 --> 07:51.280
You didn't even go to the Philippines.

07:51.280 --> 07:52.280
I didn't know it was nice.

07:52.280 --> 07:53.280
What?

07:53.280 --> 07:53.780
What?

07:53.780 --> 07:55.280
Well, initial thoughts already.

07:55.280 --> 07:56.280
Oh, that was dope.

07:56.280 --> 07:57.280
You don't get the idea.

07:57.280 --> 07:58.280
Oh my god.

07:58.280 --> 07:59.280
Thankfully, just a straight up from once and you got me see.

07:59.280 --> 08:00.280
Oh my god.

08:00.280 --> 08:01.280
Dopey times terrible.

08:01.280 --> 08:03.280
A blind first aid!

08:03.280 --> 08:05.280
Lead on me. Impact going out!

08:05.280 --> 08:06.280
Well, my...

08:06.280 --> 08:08.280
Lead on me. Impact going out!

08:08.280 --> 08:10.280
I don't play with these sounds on, by the way.

08:10.280 --> 08:11.280
I don't either.

08:11.280 --> 08:12.280
You don't?

08:12.280 --> 08:13.280
Yeah.

08:13.280 --> 08:14.280
How do you know?

08:14.280 --> 08:15.280
Kind of like a magnet deploy, though.

08:15.280 --> 08:16.280
Like, well, my magnet?

08:16.280 --> 08:17.280
I don't know what a magnet is.

08:17.280 --> 08:18.280
Okay.

08:23.280 --> 08:30.280
Okay, so...

08:30.280 --> 08:33.280
And then...

08:33.280 --> 08:37.280
And then...

08:37.280 --> 08:41.280
And then...

08:41.280 --> 08:42.280
Havana.

08:42.280 --> 08:45.280
Yeah.

08:45.280 --> 08:47.280
The worst Havana noise I've ever heard.

08:47.280 --> 08:50.280
Okay, the middle one fell down, but the start and ending...

08:50.280 --> 08:52.280
That's the real thing.

08:52.280 --> 08:55.280
I don't know about that, but like, yeah.

09:50.280 --> 09:57.280
to get out alive. Now, welcome

09:57.280 --> 10:00.280
here to Salt Lake City for

10:00.280 --> 10:02.280
semifinals Saturday. I cannot

10:02.280 --> 10:04.280
wait to continue this major. We

10:04.280 --> 10:06.280
are saddling up ready to go again.

10:06.280 --> 10:08.280
My name's Ian alongside lacks and

10:08.280 --> 10:10.280
Fox yesterday was fun. Oh, it's

10:10.280 --> 10:12.280
so fun. The amount of games that

10:12.280 --> 10:14.280
we saw that went the distance.

10:14.280 --> 10:16.280
All of the upsets. I mean, some

10:16.280 --> 10:18.280
lovable players going home. I

10:18.280 --> 10:24.500
I mean it was loaded jam packed with siege whether it was for the fans whether for the family members that were supporting the playoff on stage

10:24.500 --> 10:31.220
I mean it was really a fun time to be here and honestly the NA crowd is by far the best for a Friday to see it that packed filled that loud

10:31.220 --> 10:37.740
You guys owe it to yourselves. You guys have been amazing. Can't wait to see the rest of this day unfold and the weekend

10:38.300 --> 10:42.580
It's gonna fill up even more of course got some NA teams in action

10:42.580 --> 10:47.880
So it's gonna get loud here at Salt Palace. Let's take a look at the bracket. Shall we this is how everything?

10:48.280 --> 10:52.480
has shaped out going into the final two days.

10:52.480 --> 10:56.640
Twisted mines, victorious, rebellion, victorious.

10:56.640 --> 10:58.880
The best team in the world doing what they do best

10:58.880 --> 11:01.080
and DZ making the fold too.

11:01.080 --> 11:02.720
I mean, so many amazing storylines.

11:02.720 --> 11:04.760
At the end of the day, if you're a North American fan,

11:04.760 --> 11:05.800
we got good chances.

11:05.800 --> 11:06.680
50% of them.

11:06.680 --> 11:07.520
Definitely some hope for you.

11:07.520 --> 11:09.200
50% for us to make it to the finals.

11:09.200 --> 11:10.160
I mean, at the end of the day,

11:10.160 --> 11:11.360
phase is the team to beat.

11:11.360 --> 11:12.880
Everyone's going to be looking at them.

11:12.880 --> 11:14.200
Well, we got a couple of wild cards,

11:14.200 --> 11:16.320
a couple of dark horses left with twisted mines.

11:16.320 --> 11:21.000
So any which way you cut it will be exciting. I mean, I did say that game yesterday for dark

11:21.000 --> 11:24.700
zeo and went the distance they had to fight tooth and nail to be able to close out that

11:24.700 --> 11:28.800
series to oh, but then you go through that slaughterhouse of a match and you immediately

11:28.800 --> 11:33.040
wake up to the next day and you have to go against phase. I can't say I'm too envious

11:33.040 --> 11:36.540
for them, but they definitely have the resilience and the mindset to get it done. Yeah, the

11:36.540 --> 11:41.200
brutal nature of a major like this is just nonstop. It is relentless and these teams

11:41.200 --> 11:45.360
are fired up and ready to get into it. Let's just take more of an in depth look back at

11:45.360 --> 11:49.260
yesterday because you've touched on some of the big story lines here but it's

11:49.260 --> 11:53.680
time to go panorama style the monster the moment and the must-see from

11:53.680 --> 11:57.180
yesterday who was the monster like so I think this is pretty obvious I mean that's

11:57.180 --> 12:01.480
an obvious one it has to be ambi I mean he was the terminator on that bank I

12:01.480 --> 12:06.300
mean 21 and one I mean I got to feel bad for his wrist at that point with the

12:06.300 --> 12:09.800
way that he was snapping getting so many of those frag he was such an

12:09.800 --> 12:13.600
instrumental piece in these rounds and again he plays that lurker all that

12:13.600 --> 12:19.280
entry and he does such a good job. And again, not only to be able to drop 21 kills as impressive

12:19.280 --> 12:24.720
in himself, but to do it against a team in a caliber like G2 that really speaks into existence.

12:24.720 --> 12:28.640
I mean, it sure does. He was just floating. Everything that he was doing was working. We

12:28.640 --> 12:33.680
heard him say that on stage. So much so now his mom and his grandmother have come to watch him

12:33.680 --> 12:37.680
as well to be able to see him in the crowd. I mean, he is just such an electric player inside

12:37.680 --> 12:40.960
and outside of the server. A lot of people have described him as just very cute guy,

12:40.960 --> 12:46.800
I love watching him play and succeeding. We called it once in a lifetime performance,

12:46.800 --> 12:51.120
but if he can do it again here today, this crowd is going to love it and he's going to put his

12:51.120 --> 12:55.360
team in good stead. Let's talk about the moment. It's quite a few to choose from. The moment has

12:55.360 --> 13:01.280
to be any one of the teams that got eliminated. G2 Falcons, Enterprise, Wildcard, every single

13:01.280 --> 13:05.680
tournament team that have made it to the main stage. They had amazing storylines, reasons to

13:05.680 --> 13:09.520
be here at the end of the day. It was a very heartbreaking day for all of these teams. Landryx

13:09.520 --> 13:20.320
to go out. A lot of them put up a great fight stomping one of those players that everyone wanted to see he did his absolute best unfortunately him and the rest of the teams that lost fell short but hopefully we'll see them again soon.

13:20.320 --> 13:30.420
And I think it's important to give our commiserations to these teams because they did have to battle their way and unfortunately their campaign did end yesterday but even for the boys down under EP I mean there's so much to keep your head held up high.

13:30.420 --> 13:35.420
You made history here. You were able to do what teams weren't able to in so many years.

13:35.420 --> 13:38.420
I mean all of these teams regardless should be proud of where they ended.

13:38.420 --> 13:40.420
It's just unfortunate they can't get it done.

13:40.420 --> 13:43.420
Back to the matters. We still have so many games ahead of us.

13:43.420 --> 13:46.420
And they'll be back. We can't wait to see all those teams back in action for now.

13:46.420 --> 13:50.420
Their flames are out, but now it's on to the must-see.

13:50.420 --> 13:53.420
Now I've got a pick here and I think the fans might agree with me too.

13:53.420 --> 13:58.420
The must-see here is Twisted Minds versus Shopify Rebellion.

13:58.420 --> 14:00.420
Now we cannot wait to see

14:00.760 --> 14:06.420
SR in action for lots of reasons of course this crowd is gonna pop off, but they're in for quite a test here

14:06.420 --> 14:09.460
That's for sure. I mean they sure are like you said if we could see ambi do it again

14:09.460 --> 14:14.220
I mean we've heard doki say we don't want to just play ambi want to play all of SR and they got it

14:14.220 --> 14:18.180
That's what they got so at the end of the day whether it's ambi alone or the team together

14:18.500 --> 14:24.460
Either which way SR have looked so dominant since the kickoff their improvement has been immense getting to this point

14:24.460 --> 14:26.100
And it's just for regional pride.

14:26.100 --> 14:28.700
I mean, for the meaner region to have your team represented

14:28.700 --> 14:32.260
here at a semi-final, possibly pushing you to a grand final.

14:32.260 --> 14:35.100
I mean, there's so much pride and joy that comes into that.

14:35.100 --> 14:37.180
I cannot wait to get into that series.

14:37.180 --> 14:41.260
And I cannot wait to see where our boy, Janna, is at right now.

14:41.260 --> 14:44.660
He's somewhere in the arena having a good time.

14:44.660 --> 14:45.860
Come on!

14:45.860 --> 14:47.900
Let's go!

14:47.900 --> 14:48.460
Sorry, guys.

14:48.460 --> 14:50.220
It was a little distracted here in the demo,

14:50.220 --> 14:54.580
But if you're busy trying out the new operation system override,

14:54.580 --> 14:58.160
which we're going to reveal tomorrow at 5.30 PM Eastern,

14:58.160 --> 15:02.020
the new map, Calypso Casino, the Doka B rework,

15:02.020 --> 15:05.260
which has already been teased quite a bit on social media.

15:05.260 --> 15:06.820
It's been pretty fun so far.

15:06.820 --> 15:09.380
So for all of our fans here at the Salt Palace Convention

15:09.380 --> 15:11.860
Center, they can come down and check it out.

15:11.860 --> 15:12.940
It's been really fun.

15:12.940 --> 15:14.460
Hopefully the reveal panel tomorrow

15:14.460 --> 15:16.700
will give us all the information we need.

15:16.700 --> 15:18.860
But until then, everyone here can

15:18.860 --> 15:23.780
go get a sneak peek of exactly what it's all about. Back to you guys. Thanks

15:23.780 --> 15:26.460
Jonah that sounds good actually I'm gonna go check it out. Now I'm kidding I

15:26.460 --> 15:29.820
actually need to do my job here. Should we get into this first semi-final what

15:29.820 --> 15:34.580
do you think? Absolutely. What do you think? Oh, they stayed sitting right there baby!

15:34.580 --> 15:39.780
You two have known each other for a long time I love that. Alright so it is of

15:39.780 --> 15:45.180
course Twisted Minds versus Shopify Rebellion. Let's begin by talking about

15:45.180 --> 15:55.180
about the men are history makers who have made it to the big dance before anybody else from their region has managed to do it and they've done it in style.

15:55.180 --> 16:03.180
I mean they've already made history. They could go one step further today. I mean when you look at the team as a whole something we highlighted was their information gathering being able to get those opening kills.

16:03.180 --> 16:12.180
That's exactly what we saw yesterday has shown was one of the standout players. He has been so amazing for this roster on finding those tools being so aggressive.

16:12.180 --> 16:14.100
It seems like everybody is just working so well,

16:14.100 --> 16:15.180
and they're playing with a stand-in

16:15.180 --> 16:17.660
to have guards be able to stand in consistently

16:17.660 --> 16:18.780
and do as well as he's doing

16:18.780 --> 16:20.940
the number one rated player on defense.

16:20.940 --> 16:23.900
It really is a big task, big shoes to fill for him,

16:23.900 --> 16:24.740
but they're doing it well.

16:24.740 --> 16:25.780
I mean, something that I really love,

16:25.780 --> 16:27.500
especially when we were talking about Hashom,

16:27.500 --> 16:31.300
is that he's been awarded the name, the Rat King.

16:31.300 --> 16:33.180
And to me, that resonates a little bit with me.

16:33.180 --> 16:35.840
I mean, I love to watch the way that he plays.

16:35.840 --> 16:39.100
He's so elusive, each and every single round.

16:39.100 --> 16:40.500
He can come out of nowhere,

16:40.500 --> 16:44.520
surprise you take you from the back steal around away and put the pressure put

16:44.520 --> 16:47.760
the clamps on any team that's in front of him it's why we're highlighting in

16:47.760 --> 16:51.900
here I mean he's been doing such a good job on that entry and can't wait to see

16:51.900 --> 16:55.760
what he does against the SSR roster you know I love about this guy I speak to a

16:55.760 --> 17:00.600
lot of players I mean he looks great cause he is cool as a cucumber if we

17:00.600 --> 17:04.280
still say that I don't know but I'll tell you what I love about him is I speak

17:04.280 --> 17:07.800
to a lot of players on the main stage right some of them have an aura some of

17:07.800 --> 17:13.400
them feel like they belong in big situations like this. This guy and the rest of his team

17:13.400 --> 17:18.720
feel so comfortable in these high pressure situations. Do you think that we've been sleeping

17:18.720 --> 17:23.320
on this team a little bit? Absolutely. It's a common misconception among the event that

17:23.320 --> 17:27.200
this team doesn't necessarily deserve to be here. You're saying his energy on stage is

17:27.200 --> 17:31.440
something that's almost proven, but if we really take a deep dive, look, it is proven.

17:31.440 --> 17:37.400
I mean, Hachom time and time again has been winning tournaments in Saudi in the EML and

17:37.400 --> 17:43.160
It's only been a year since Mena teams have been able to compete in the EML and they already are on the main stage.

17:43.160 --> 17:48.240
That being said, seven Saudi League tournaments, every event that they've gone to so far when we look at Montreal,

17:48.240 --> 17:51.400
the last invite, top eight finishes for Hachom and his team.

17:51.400 --> 17:55.040
At the end of the day, it's proven experience they deserve to be here.

17:55.040 --> 17:58.080
And now that they're in the EML, you'd think, oh, they would have came in with Falcons.

17:58.080 --> 17:59.600
No, Falcons didn't believe in them.

17:59.600 --> 18:01.840
They dropped them for an all-star team.

18:01.840 --> 18:02.960
Where's that team now?

18:02.960 --> 18:03.760
Not on the stage.

18:03.760 --> 18:04.280
On stage.

18:04.280 --> 18:05.160
Where's Hachom?

18:05.160 --> 18:05.600
On stage.

18:05.600 --> 18:06.960
Where's Luis at Mines?

18:06.960 --> 18:07.960
On stage.

18:07.960 --> 18:08.960
On stage.

18:08.960 --> 18:09.960
On stage.

18:09.960 --> 18:10.960
At the end of the day, it is proven.

18:10.960 --> 18:11.960
I'll tell you what.

18:11.960 --> 18:14.240
If you've been sleeping on twisted mines, it's time to wake up.

18:14.240 --> 18:19.440
And this crowd is going to wake up louder than ever before for Shopify Rebellion.

18:19.440 --> 18:26.040
Let's talk about twisted mines, opponents who have arrived in style.

18:26.040 --> 18:31.440
This is a roster that we've been hoping and expecting would click over time, but it feels

18:31.440 --> 18:33.080
like this is it.

18:33.080 --> 18:34.080
This could be it.

18:34.080 --> 18:35.080
It should be.

18:35.080 --> 18:38.440
were so heavily critical on their performance when it came to kick off.

18:38.440 --> 18:42.840
It wasn't the team that we were hoping to see, but wow, they have shaken the dust off.

18:42.840 --> 18:45.360
Everything from start to finish, getting those entries.

18:45.360 --> 18:48.960
I mean, every conversation we're going to talk about, Ami, but getting those entries.

18:48.960 --> 18:50.160
Amazing so far.

18:50.160 --> 18:52.160
Staying alive, focusing on the executes.

18:52.160 --> 18:56.960
You really see why each one of these players is incredible in their individual positions.

18:56.960 --> 18:59.080
Canadian being able to eye jail everyone behind it.

18:59.080 --> 19:02.920
And now when they have everything clicking, that's where we see the big start players

19:02.920 --> 19:05.800
from the SR turn up where they're able to have multi-kills.

19:05.800 --> 19:08.080
After multi-kills, the slaying power

19:08.080 --> 19:09.360
that we wanted to see against G2,

19:09.360 --> 19:11.880
we saw it now because everything's working for them.

19:11.880 --> 19:15.880
I don't think it's debatable that this is the best example

19:15.880 --> 19:17.960
and the best addition of this roster

19:17.960 --> 19:19.800
that we have seen today.

19:19.800 --> 19:22.720
And Lachlan is standing by with one of the reasons why.

19:23.640 --> 19:24.480
Yeah, of course.

19:24.480 --> 19:26.000
We already talked about how well

19:26.000 --> 19:28.080
that they've been looking so far in this tournament,

19:28.080 --> 19:30.320
and we really have to talk about their explosive attacks.

19:30.320 --> 19:31.720
Now, I wanna really take a look

19:31.720 --> 19:34.620
and dive into round three specifically

19:34.620 --> 19:37.480
because it was such a clean execute onto CEO.

19:37.480 --> 19:38.820
Now, they did the due diligence

19:38.820 --> 19:39.820
in the early bit of the round.

19:39.820 --> 19:41.300
They made sure that there was no one roaming

19:41.300 --> 19:42.900
on the first floor in basement.

19:42.900 --> 19:44.460
And from here, this is where everything

19:44.460 --> 19:45.740
would start to own fold.

19:45.740 --> 19:49.180
Now, they're gonna focus on Doki inside of Janitor,

19:49.180 --> 19:50.460
alleviate that pressure,

19:50.460 --> 19:51.800
and then from there, it's gonna follow

19:51.800 --> 19:53.060
onto a checkers push.

19:53.060 --> 19:56.140
You were then going to have a player on the CEO windows,

19:56.140 --> 19:57.220
and then you're gonna have Andy

19:57.220 --> 19:59.420
who's going to be coming up main stairs.

19:59.420 --> 20:01.380
And once this pick happens on Doki,

20:01.380 --> 20:03.720
What you're gonna see is everyone is going to converge

20:03.720 --> 20:06.060
and they're again going to collapse onto site.

20:06.060 --> 20:07.900
Now what you're gonna see here is,

20:07.900 --> 20:11.380
surf is below with the Deimos, finds the pick onto Doki.

20:11.380 --> 20:14.260
And then from here, again, you're gonna now see,

20:14.260 --> 20:17.860
Spoyt here holding all of the windows here on checkers,

20:17.860 --> 20:20.460
avoiding a lot of pressure, hitting this pick,

20:20.460 --> 20:23.340
which then will inevitably allow Troy to come up red

20:23.340 --> 20:24.700
and push through that site again.

20:24.700 --> 20:26.620
And you have Rexon out here on the window

20:26.620 --> 20:28.580
that is putting pressure into CEO,

20:28.580 --> 20:29.740
pushing pressure in the longer.

20:29.740 --> 20:34.700
Spoits get this kill, you have Ambie then coming up the main stairs, takes the pick on the player that was playing towards

20:34.700 --> 20:38.540
Doc, you have Troy then pushing through the site, being able to get this information,

20:38.540 --> 20:42.940
never really get this kill, and then it's really just up to the clash, it's up to Stomping at this point.

20:42.940 --> 20:49.260
There's nothing that Stomping can do. The rest of his team has been absolutely decimated across all of the map,

20:49.260 --> 20:55.260
and then they just shut it out clean and concise, and this is the explosive SR that we are going to be needing to see,

20:55.260 --> 20:58.620
especially going into this series, first twist in mind, and if they can do it,

20:58.620 --> 21:02.900
They are one step away getting to that grand final, but we won't know until we get back to the desk

21:03.740 --> 21:08.620
Thank you very much lacks and before we move on to discuss anything else

21:09.100 --> 21:11.100
There's something we have to address

21:11.660 --> 21:15.180
Matt picks and bands and we're hearing some reactions from the crowd here folks

21:15.180 --> 21:19.260
I mean layers one of those maps for SR that they're very comfortable on it

21:19.260 --> 21:22.540
They love to be able to go to layer it's one of their better maps about their best map

21:22.540 --> 21:26.580
So it's a very comfortable pick for them when you look at the side of twisted mines. They're only two on it

21:26.580 --> 21:33.380
They're not that great on their great ego pick, but in turn twisted minds picking clubhouse there for an Owen clubhouse

21:33.380 --> 21:37.580
This was their bread and butter during the Swiss face to make it to the main stage. It's another map

21:37.580 --> 21:40.380
That's a little iffy for SR. I mean they're even five and five

21:40.380 --> 21:45.460
It's an NA classic, but at the end of the day SR haven't had the most amount of success all in clubhouse

21:45.460 --> 21:48.740
I think when you look at the recent matchup though even for twist of minds on that clubhouse

21:48.740 --> 21:53.780
It was J. Lad that was really caring finding my momentum getting a lot of those frags going in their favor

21:53.780 --> 21:55.020
And that was coming from the IGL.

21:55.020 --> 21:56.180
And if you're going to look at SR,

21:56.180 --> 21:57.060
you're going to have that bot.

21:57.060 --> 21:57.780
You're going to be ready.

21:57.780 --> 21:59.820
You're going to be understanding that if there is a gap,

21:59.820 --> 22:02.220
they're going to instantly try to identify the make sure

22:02.220 --> 22:03.900
that they can catch twisted mind off guards,

22:03.900 --> 22:06.260
thinking that, oh, they're going to be laxadaisical.

22:06.260 --> 22:07.420
Let's just go for a quick link.

22:07.420 --> 22:09.660
That's not going to happen if this is the SR that we're

22:09.660 --> 22:11.740
seeing from G2 being displayed here today.

22:11.740 --> 22:14.340
Twisted minds are going to have to work a lot harder

22:14.340 --> 22:16.860
at getting some of these momentums going into their favor.

22:16.860 --> 22:18.540
And speaking of momentum, Fox, one thing

22:18.540 --> 22:20.300
that we haven't addressed here with twisted minds,

22:20.300 --> 22:21.580
it is the first time that they've

22:21.580 --> 22:23.260
been in a semi-final situation.

22:23.260 --> 22:27.660
Let's learn a North American arena up against a North American team.

22:27.860 --> 22:32.540
We talk about them being confident, composed and ready for situations like this.

22:32.740 --> 22:35.700
But you've got to address the fact that the crowds is going to be against them here.

22:35.700 --> 22:36.460
I mean, of course.

22:36.460 --> 22:40.020
But at the end of the day, if we look back at some of the players on Twisted Mind,

22:40.020 --> 22:42.620
specifically Hachom, he was in Atlanta with GK.

22:42.740 --> 22:46.380
They were fan favorites back there, even though they were playing against NA teams.

22:46.580 --> 22:49.620
So at the end of the day, I mean, the NA crowd loves whatever teams

22:49.620 --> 22:50.660
you're going to put on the best show.

22:50.660 --> 22:54.660
Of course, everyone wants to see SPLOY, wants to see SR, make it to the grand finals,

22:54.660 --> 22:58.580
but the momentum is going to be a difficult thing against a huge crowd.

22:58.580 --> 23:02.660
Not only do they have to go up against that, but they have to go up against Ambie as well,

23:02.660 --> 23:04.820
so it's no easy task for Twisted mind.

23:04.820 --> 23:06.740
Last second predictions. Lacks, give it to me.

23:07.540 --> 23:10.340
No, no predictions. Let's just get this game underway, shall we?

23:10.340 --> 23:11.780
Let's get this game underway.

23:11.780 --> 23:25.500
Once again, we stepped into the darkness here in Salt Lake City.

23:25.500 --> 23:30.180
You might not be able to see, but it is loud in here, right?

23:30.180 --> 23:39.460
Now the question is, who will dig deep enough to emerge victorious from the darkness and

23:39.460 --> 23:42.260
and book a spot in the grand final.

23:42.260 --> 23:44.100
Let's welcome team number one.

24:14.100 --> 24:35.100
The end, a aggressors who cut to the statement win of the G2 and sends Salt Lake Palace into their stage.

24:35.100 --> 24:37.100
Please welcome...

24:37.800 --> 24:42.300
Shopify Rebellion!

24:53.800 --> 24:56.300
And their opponents.

25:35.100 --> 25:39.980
Once cast aside as not good enough,

25:39.980 --> 25:43.620
this long-overlocked menospor

25:43.620 --> 25:47.660
stays undefeated in Salt Lake.

25:47.660 --> 25:52.660
Please welcome Twisted Minds!

26:05.100 --> 26:33.900
All right, the players are ready, as you can hear, the crowd is ready.

26:33.900 --> 26:35.900
Jolad, I'm going to come to you first.

26:35.900 --> 26:38.780
Undefeated, making history.

26:38.780 --> 26:40.980
Are you intimidated by this crowd?

26:40.980 --> 26:43.340
Not really. It gets me excited.

26:43.340 --> 26:46.780
We worked hard enough for this, and we're going to continue.

26:46.780 --> 26:48.300
Confidence, I love that.

26:48.300 --> 26:50.740
Amber, you were on Smoke yesterday. You're incredible.

26:50.740 --> 26:52.820
Can we see a performance like that again here?

26:52.820 --> 26:55.100
Of course. You know, you have this crowd back in us,

26:55.100 --> 26:57.780
and it's going to be a good game.

26:57.780 --> 27:00.060
Can we get a handshake?

27:00.060 --> 27:01.620
All right, go and take your seats.

27:01.620 --> 27:07.260
best of luck guys and listen we've got a full crowd here ready to go so I'm gonna

27:07.260 --> 27:14.660
ask one more time who's taking this semi-final is it twisted minds

27:17.940 --> 27:24.060
and maybe shopping for a rebellion

27:24.740 --> 27:30.780
the crowd's ready something next city is ready links and extra troika I know

27:30.780 --> 27:32.780
You're ready to let's get this started

27:33.060 --> 27:38.500
Could not be more ready to start off a day with a Shopify rebellion match at the end of phase one Oli

27:38.860 --> 27:42.260
Sport had grown tired of the narrative. He had felt that his team

27:42.380 --> 27:46.380
Maybe have been treated a bit unfairly while at the beginning of phase three

27:46.380 --> 27:49.580
I don't think anybody could have changed the narrative better than them

27:49.580 --> 27:54.180
But specifically better than ambi and we did a fantastic job in the yesterday

27:54.180 --> 27:59.260
It was a life performance from them and I don't think it's gonna we're gonna happen again

27:59.260 --> 28:00.980
It's going to take some replicating.

28:00.980 --> 28:03.140
You don't think 21-1 is happening again today?

28:03.140 --> 28:05.780
I think for me, the more important point is,

28:05.780 --> 28:07.140
if it's not Ambi, then who's it going to be?

28:07.140 --> 28:10.100
Because Spoy also had an incredible group stage.

28:10.100 --> 28:12.340
And despite Ambi's performance yesterday,

28:12.340 --> 28:13.820
he's still not caught up.

28:13.820 --> 28:15.580
True, which is honestly kind of insane

28:15.580 --> 28:17.660
when you consider the fact that not only was the first map

28:17.660 --> 28:20.580
21-1, I'll be at the end of 20-98.

28:20.580 --> 28:22.780
So it was a very heavy first map performance,

28:22.780 --> 28:27.220
but still a crazy showcase from Shopify Rebellion yesterday.

28:27.220 --> 28:28.780
But that just goes to show how dominant

28:28.780 --> 28:33.340
a tournament this has been from SPOIT, but even on map 2, we had Rexon showing up, we

28:33.340 --> 28:37.740
had Canadian starting off map 2 with a double kill, which again for the IGL that's not a

28:37.740 --> 28:42.220
lot, but for Canadian who has himself invited a lot of criticism for basically it to be

28:42.220 --> 28:47.620
a full 5 man quality performance the entire series, just with Ambide dropping a career

28:47.620 --> 28:54.140
best, a esport best performance, Shotfire Rebellion could not be showing up any better

28:54.140 --> 28:58.700
in this semi-final matchup, which as Ian mentioned on the desk, this has twisted minds

28:58.700 --> 29:03.180
first semi but sport has not been in the semi-final since the Berlin Major.

29:03.180 --> 29:09.020
I mean, Soul Lake City, do you think Shopify Rebellion have it?

29:09.020 --> 29:17.100
I'm feeling that's going to get a little bit louder as the day progresses.

29:17.100 --> 29:21.900
The twisted minds of course are worthy opponent at this stage.

29:21.900 --> 29:27.900
to give credit to them. The

29:27.900 --> 29:29.900
position that they find

29:29.900 --> 29:31.900
themselves in. Floor throughout

29:31.900 --> 29:33.900
the Swiss. Incredible showing

29:33.900 --> 29:34.900
late. Now there are some critics

29:34.900 --> 29:35.900
that maybe you're going to say,

29:35.900 --> 29:37.900
well, okay, but look at the teams

29:37.900 --> 29:38.900
that they play against. I think

29:38.900 --> 29:40.900
SR definitely run a bit more of

29:40.900 --> 29:42.900
a gauntlet to get to this point.

29:42.900 --> 29:44.900
We've got to give the men a team

29:44.900 --> 29:46.900
their credit where it is due.

29:46.900 --> 29:48.900
At the moment they sit on the

29:48.900 --> 29:50.900
very same stage as SR.

29:50.900 --> 29:52.900
We're going to be kicking off on lair.

29:52.900 --> 29:55.900
I was quite looking forward to this when I saw the maps come through Lynx.

29:55.900 --> 30:00.900
I really like a little bit of lair and particularly we've got quite a bit of experience casting Shopify on them.

30:00.900 --> 30:08.900
I mean one of SR's favorite maps and it's been one of their top preferences for basically a couple years at this point since the map first entered the pool.

30:08.900 --> 30:12.900
By the same token, something you guys talk about, a team's favorite is always going to invite a lot of tape.

30:12.900 --> 30:16.900
That doesn't mean the team will win as we saw with FaZe on Chalet yesterday.

30:16.900 --> 30:20.900
yesterday. A favorite map can still be comfortable and

30:20.900 --> 30:23.900
withable territory, even if you played a lot of times.

30:23.900 --> 30:26.900
The Rebellion starting off with the Cade and banned it, banned it.

30:26.900 --> 30:29.900
There is standard for the hard breaching, but Monty and Snake,

30:29.900 --> 30:32.900
this is going to go right to the heart of some of what we saw from

30:32.900 --> 30:35.900
Shopify Rebellion yesterday and historically. The Monty needs no introduction,

30:35.900 --> 30:37.900
but the Snake being taken out of the board by Twisted Minds.

30:37.900 --> 30:40.900
There's a couple of players I can look at the Rebellion who might want to pick up

30:40.900 --> 30:41.900
that Salaton scanner.

30:41.900 --> 30:44.900
Absolutely. Especially with this new look that they've been bringing

30:44.900 --> 30:51.500
Unleashing certain players for Ambit even rex has been getting involved. It really has been a resurgence top three button

30:51.500 --> 30:53.220
For this roster at the moment

30:53.220 --> 30:58.780
I think that that is only going to continue to grow as we move on up through at this first map

30:58.820 --> 31:04.280
Just a mind of course starting off on that defense and they've got some brilliant tools at their disposal guards already

31:04.280 --> 31:09.940
It's done a little bit of a look outside making sure there's no drones hidden away that could catch them out a little bit later on

31:09.940 --> 31:16.940
But it's players like Hashom that we're going to want to be keeping a really keen eye on a player that, let's be honest, there's no other way of describing it.

31:16.940 --> 31:19.940
I think Fox said the same, ratty plays, he's the best at him.

31:19.940 --> 31:21.940
It's going to be big.

31:21.940 --> 31:26.940
Contrast going into today, what we're going to see from twisted minds is a lot of plays like that.

31:26.940 --> 31:34.940
Hashom trying to take fights on those exterior angles, going prone beneath the desks, generally playing a much looser style than we see on the rebellion side.

31:34.940 --> 31:41.180
But for Herschelm, who stunned us all with that GK roster back in Atlanta in 2023, really

31:41.180 --> 31:45.660
put meta on the map at that tournament and since then, I've constantly been fighting

31:45.660 --> 31:49.420
for a seat at the table, got it last year with EML and now, crushing everybody for

31:49.420 --> 31:50.420
semi-final performance.

31:50.420 --> 31:55.020
I mean, totally going quick, which was surprising the lack of a ying ban from Twisted Minds is

31:55.020 --> 31:59.500
something that, well, I was going to say, the rebellion played quite a bit of on layer,

31:59.500 --> 32:03.540
but if you're just going to kill the ying as the second kill of the round, then we need

32:03.540 --> 32:05.100
We need to ban the Kim Nellis, now do you?

32:05.100 --> 32:07.580
Gone with it as well is the hard preacher, the Shom.

32:07.580 --> 32:08.620
He can activate his goggles.

32:08.620 --> 32:10.660
That's not gonna save you against an air jab.

32:10.660 --> 32:13.180
And Andy waits snow time, immediately moving in

32:13.180 --> 32:15.860
and trying to stop this bleeding at the moment.

32:15.860 --> 32:18.380
SR, they have lost a lot of their pushing power

32:18.380 --> 32:19.220
at the moment.

32:19.220 --> 32:22.220
That gink is designed to get in there and disrupt rooms

32:22.220 --> 32:23.980
and enable people to push in.

32:23.980 --> 32:25.500
Rexing on ace as well.

32:25.500 --> 32:29.220
We know how important it is to be getting walls open.

32:29.220 --> 32:31.620
Rebellion, the ban both the electrification operators,

32:31.620 --> 32:33.260
they are prioritizing that.

32:33.260 --> 32:35.900
However, they don't have any second to hard-brooch to fall back on.

32:35.900 --> 32:40.220
So transitioning from Ops all the way through into the top of Mesonim into site

32:40.220 --> 32:42.540
is going to be very difficult for them right now.

32:43.460 --> 32:47.180
So in all likelihood, you're going to look to the players we have left alive.

32:47.180 --> 32:49.260
Spoi and Andy.

32:49.260 --> 32:52.460
We're going to need to get big kills to open things up.

32:52.460 --> 32:54.620
Andy's already good for both kills.

32:54.620 --> 32:56.780
The Rebellion have acquired so far.

32:56.780 --> 33:00.100
As you mentioned earlier, Ali, Spoi had an insane tournament as well.

33:00.100 --> 33:02.620
Andy having an insane quarter-final.

33:02.620 --> 33:05.620
One of those players tagged up by the silence and P5.

33:05.620 --> 33:09.920
Guards substitute getting information on another.

33:09.920 --> 33:12.120
Twisted Minds have a good idea of his push.

33:12.120 --> 33:14.120
There's got a player inside of him after pretty much the whole time.

33:14.120 --> 33:15.920
Right as the door opens.

33:15.920 --> 33:18.720
Ambie's head taken clean off by J-Low around the corner.

33:18.720 --> 33:21.120
Guards finally winning his duel this point.

33:21.120 --> 33:24.420
And Twisted Minds, a statement out the gate.

33:24.420 --> 33:26.120
They've got their own narrative to write.

34:02.620 --> 34:08.420
But unfortunately, if you lose your heart breach, there ain't too many places you can go.

34:08.420 --> 34:12.540
You can block off the door, but as we saw, there's always going to be skinny angles being

34:12.540 --> 34:14.040
held by Twisted Minds.

34:14.040 --> 34:18.220
Twisted Minds not happen to play into that aggressive play style.

34:18.220 --> 34:21.300
Really just able to sit back once they got the opening fix.

34:21.300 --> 34:22.300
It was about retreat.

34:22.300 --> 34:23.300
It was about stabilization.

34:23.300 --> 34:26.580
Yeah, you know, pressure really only can at the beginning of the round.

34:26.580 --> 34:29.020
Just a couple runouts back up to get the kills.

34:29.020 --> 34:30.020
It's just good fundamentals.

34:30.020 --> 34:36.020
and as you said, it was a hard reach, but you also lose your ying, and a whole lot of rebellion can do to bounce back to that.

34:36.020 --> 34:39.020
Kristen Mines now moving to the basement.

34:39.020 --> 34:45.020
We'll see another play where Kristen Mines looked directly. Pressure of the rebellion on these extremities has shown during the Scopos.

34:45.020 --> 34:50.020
Of course, recall back to the site when the moment arises, but we'll also believe how P9 moving around the middle floor.

34:50.020 --> 34:57.020
There's plenty of options for this defense to move up to the top and the middle floor, out round two.

34:57.020 --> 35:01.980
down to a rebellion. I imagine take this first minute, trying map out a much of the as much

35:01.980 --> 35:03.500
of this realm as possible.

35:03.500 --> 35:09.300
Three kills for JLAD inside of round one as well. Big contribution there. I think Hasham

35:09.300 --> 35:13.860
is off from the player on everybody's lips, but JLAD has proved he can already have big

35:13.860 --> 35:17.740
contribution. We're going to be quite a big clubhouse player as well. And with that being

35:17.740 --> 35:21.540
map two in the series, he has to start us off a bit of a dangerous day. SRO really going

35:21.540 --> 35:26.940
to have the work out for him here. It's opening. Very important right now. Hasham calls

35:26.940 --> 35:31.260
out on the Dock ring, unable to transition at the moment, and the Deathmark. They're really

35:31.260 --> 35:33.580
throwing effort into making sure we've reached it out.

35:34.940 --> 35:40.540
Going shields at him, throwing Deathmark trackers. Every bit of utility the rebellion can muster

35:40.540 --> 35:45.260
for this roam clear, all dedicated to clearing out one guy. And when you understand the impact

35:45.260 --> 35:49.900
the show has, you completely get why they might make such a decision. It's the structure that's

35:49.900 --> 35:55.100
built around him as well. Twisted minds know he's going to invite such attention. And so P9

35:55.100 --> 35:57.360
And J-Lad on the roam as well.

35:57.360 --> 35:59.460
Lorian, Canadian and Serf.

35:59.460 --> 36:02.960
And you lose a Scopos, but you get a Blitz and a Dokeby in turn.

36:02.960 --> 36:06.800
Spoi, similar to Andy last round, doing a lot of heavy lifting

36:06.800 --> 36:08.760
when it comes to these kills.

36:08.760 --> 36:10.600
Or when the Rebellion are bleeding players,

36:10.600 --> 36:12.500
as they enter the map, you can't help but think

36:12.500 --> 36:15.560
Twisted Minds are getting the best of them.

36:15.560 --> 36:17.800
They're only in the kills, but also in the utility at the moment.

36:17.800 --> 36:21.200
P9 on that mute is just able to step into a jammer

36:21.200 --> 36:22.560
with Spoi going down as well.

36:22.560 --> 36:27.120
it gives the advantage away to Twisted Minds, three versus two at the moment.

36:27.120 --> 36:31.440
Fortunately for Spoy, he will be picked up now, and they've still got a minute to work with,

36:31.440 --> 36:35.760
but again, I look at the tools, grasping for a lot out of these boogie drones,

36:35.760 --> 36:40.720
and no one's able to sit on site or close to and catch these players as they roll out out of dodge.

36:42.720 --> 36:48.240
On that moment, expired earlier, they used all of it on Michonne and Twisted Mind for one step

36:48.240 --> 36:49.240
ahead of them.

36:49.240 --> 36:52.740
Markson will use his last boogie drone, get a bit of verticality.

36:52.740 --> 36:57.260
Again, given the reduced man count, it's hard to believe how much worth will come from these

36:57.260 --> 36:58.760
vertical angles.

36:58.760 --> 37:01.660
Even down to one deathmark tracker too.

37:01.660 --> 37:06.540
So as the rebellion push into sight, the last one used on the mute, but if one of these

37:06.540 --> 37:09.900
jambers is alive, they can cleanse in and that's exactly what will happen.

37:09.900 --> 37:12.100
Andy off the back of the flashers, pushes straight in.

37:12.100 --> 37:14.100
Skopo's camera getting some good information.

37:14.100 --> 37:16.900
But it goes not really good.

37:16.900 --> 37:18.500
You just know where death's coming from.

37:18.500 --> 37:20.300
Not whether or not you can avoid it.

37:20.300 --> 37:24.260
Trix in a 1v2, spoiling Ambi.

37:24.260 --> 37:26.140
A two-headed Hydra coming his way.

37:26.140 --> 37:29.660
And Trix now with information and a headshot on Spoil.

37:29.660 --> 37:31.140
Finally with the finisher.

37:31.140 --> 37:38.420
24 hours is not enough to cool off one of the hottest

37:38.420 --> 37:39.780
players in North America.

37:39.780 --> 37:44.780
to be able to pull it out of

37:44.780 --> 37:50.780
the bag. Still blazing from

37:50.780 --> 37:52.780
yesterday. Ambi. Rebellion

37:52.780 --> 37:54.780
needing the most is able to

37:54.780 --> 37:56.780
pull it out of the bag. That's

37:56.780 --> 37:59.780
a round links. Rebellion have no

37:59.780 --> 38:01.780
business walking away with. That

38:01.780 --> 38:03.780
is a layup round that twisted

38:03.780 --> 38:05.780
minds have just fumbled. And a

38:05.780 --> 38:08.780
lot of it. All of it comes down

38:08.780 --> 38:11.780
the one-man army that is Ambi.

38:12.780 --> 38:15.780
Well, no one's found a solution to slowing them down just yet.

38:17.780 --> 38:19.780
So much work done by Spoyd and Ambi this round,

38:19.780 --> 38:23.780
especially coming back from a play like this from Twisted Minds.

38:23.780 --> 38:27.780
I mean, so good. Hachom fading the attack into the whole defense.

38:27.780 --> 38:31.780
Really good play and it entirely coming down to individual performances from Spoyd

38:31.780 --> 38:34.780
and of course Ambi, that massive double kill moving into the site.

38:34.780 --> 38:39.580
site. I think rebellion needs to get them back into the game. We need a little bit

38:39.580 --> 38:42.700
more to make things competitive. The individual skill, I think at this point

38:42.700 --> 38:46.100
for Shopify rebellion, that's never been in question. But it is how they use these

38:46.100 --> 38:50.220
individual players that we saw very well yesterday. In two rounds so far, need to

38:50.220 --> 38:54.460
see a little bit more of a show. I just see a little bit of a rebellion player's

38:54.460 --> 38:59.140
head, but no shots. At least no damage exchange either way. That's the thing for

38:59.140 --> 39:02.460
me and this rebellion roster. You've got to think it's a very structured

39:02.460 --> 39:08.340
organization. They have a very clear system here and you could see that even demonstrated yesterday regardless of how dominant the

39:08.340 --> 39:15.460
victory was against G2. There were still occasions where they were making the right post just to get that extra 1, 2, 3% of guarantee that the

39:15.460 --> 39:22.060
right result is going to come out in the end. So when he starts now throwing individuals popping off on top of that as well, on top of

39:22.060 --> 39:28.540
those brilliant fundamentals, you get very dangerous team. And if Ambi can continue to play in this way and we can continue to see a

39:28.540 --> 39:31.260
a little bit more structure from the side of rebellion.

39:31.260 --> 39:34.020
The sky is genuinely the limit for them at the moment.

39:35.060 --> 39:38.060
Talk about structure, sploy, keeping a little bit

39:38.060 --> 39:39.540
away from the rest of the team.

39:39.540 --> 39:41.660
They maybe finds a gap top rock, top rock it,

39:41.660 --> 39:44.220
but J. Lydges walks up, finds the Dokeby removed

39:44.220 --> 39:45.060
very quickly.

39:45.060 --> 39:46.220
That's an important operator.

39:46.220 --> 39:48.180
We've seen the rebellion run the scrap plenty of times

39:48.180 --> 39:49.660
all the attacking bunks, proving that Dokeby,

39:49.660 --> 39:51.740
the ink, both pieces are important.

39:51.740 --> 39:54.500
Yeah, you need to ink, and you need that Dokeby.

39:54.500 --> 39:56.820
The calls and the information has already proved valuable

39:56.820 --> 40:00.180
in this series alone, let alone whatever anything else happened.

40:00.180 --> 40:05.220
Who will the hand be to grab one back, but with him, Brexit also falls.

40:05.220 --> 40:08.460
Brexit going down, a lot of weight falling into Canadian on this utility.

40:08.460 --> 40:11.220
The gains to displace, the idea going for a plant.

40:11.220 --> 40:14.660
The normal second part of that strategy, it is not happening, calls made.

40:14.660 --> 40:17.100
Go for the kills, Surf spotting one bottom rocket.

40:17.100 --> 40:19.860
But again, Twisted Minds know they have the advantage.

40:19.860 --> 40:23.900
They know they have the positioning advantage as well, overshot before rebellion.

40:23.900 --> 40:26.580
So Surf pushed even further back towards Ops.

40:26.580 --> 40:27.780
A Canadian?

40:27.780 --> 40:29.820
Surely not, he's worked his way into the site

40:29.820 --> 40:31.660
for P9, ready for it.

40:31.660 --> 40:33.180
Sitting in front of a bulletproof camera,

40:33.180 --> 40:35.780
twisted minds are not letting any gaps form in this defense.

40:35.780 --> 40:39.940
Spurped using the chaos to his advantage, finds two.

40:41.060 --> 40:44.100
The Rebellion having good for these multi-frags,

40:44.100 --> 40:45.900
but they've only enabled clutches,

40:45.900 --> 40:48.780
comebacks in these first couple rounds.

40:48.780 --> 40:52.540
Spurped, Spurped done it plenty of time so far.

40:52.540 --> 41:02.800
Now, 43 seconds to go, no bees, no drones, no nothing.

41:02.800 --> 41:08.280
One player top green, bailiff in hand, noise being made, super shorty around the quarter

41:08.280 --> 41:12.120
as well, and he doesn't even know!

41:12.120 --> 41:17.080
It is just basic siege from twisted minds at the moment, and sharp reads on this defense.

41:17.080 --> 41:20.480
A Hail Mary attempt from Canadian there, I think to try and get the plump down, very

41:20.480 --> 41:24.280
the game. We're going to be

41:24.280 --> 41:26.180
concerned about what was going

41:26.180 --> 41:27.980
on upstairs. As you should be

41:27.980 --> 41:29.980
when attacking onto punk

41:29.980 --> 41:31.480
briefing or default camera right

41:31.480 --> 41:32.580
next year. That is always going

41:32.580 --> 41:34.280
to give the game away and give

41:34.280 --> 41:35.380
the job up somewhere that we

41:35.380 --> 41:36.980
haven't seen rebellion be

41:36.980 --> 41:37.980
fantastic over this first three

41:37.980 --> 41:38.980
rounds, and we've only seen

41:38.980 --> 41:40.480
three rounds. There's nothing

41:40.480 --> 41:41.980
great in that entry, and that's

41:41.980 --> 41:42.980
something we've seen them put a

41:42.980 --> 41:44.480
hell of a lot of focus on over

41:44.480 --> 41:46.480
the course of this tournament

41:46.480 --> 41:47.980
at the moment, specifically in

41:47.980 --> 41:55.940
major so far they are plus 14 on that entry. They've got a huge differential on very recent

41:55.940 --> 42:00.300
performance of how they've been playing and so far in this game we haven't seen that as

42:00.300 --> 42:04.060
much. We've seen a lot more risk taken from this roster.

42:04.060 --> 42:10.060
You see a lot of risk taking and you like the idea for a team that can sometimes I think

42:10.060 --> 42:15.740
be called fairly or unfairly a little slow. Easy sport taking those gaps and you think

42:15.740 --> 42:18.380
So if you get a kill there, that's the exact kind of play we need.

42:18.380 --> 42:20.740
Preplicate something like we saw against G2 yesterday.

42:20.740 --> 42:23.340
The twisted minds are quite clearly ready for it.

42:23.340 --> 42:25.900
Not only aware of the possibility that Shopify rebellion might do it,

42:25.900 --> 42:29.740
but also very conscious of where there might be gaps in their defense, even think to last round.

42:29.740 --> 42:32.540
J.L.I. didn't know quite my push from Ops necessarily,

42:32.540 --> 42:34.500
but he knew that somebody might push there,

42:34.500 --> 42:37.220
as it's very common for an attacker to walk in through Ops,

42:37.220 --> 42:38.540
make their way into the office,

42:38.540 --> 42:42.660
and then get an early line of sight onto the defensive setup on the second floor.

42:42.660 --> 42:44.260
He's aware of that, he acts on it.

42:44.260 --> 42:50.620
It is just really good reads and game sense from Twisted Minds right now and also of course that classic gun skill that this team has become famous for

42:51.860 --> 42:55.380
No real surprise to you. Game was taken away here at the start of round four

42:55.700 --> 42:58.360
And his army as well will fall by the way

42:58.360 --> 43:05.040
So I'm just in far less of his army really, but it is always a very popular operator's tube, particularly for this top floor

43:05.940 --> 43:13.180
Never kind of plays you got to be careful to hatch on making because you see they spend a lot of time at those exteriors a lot of time at the extremities of the building

43:14.260 --> 43:18.260
Spends an unreasonable amount of time outside for a defender.

43:19.260 --> 43:22.260
It shows today that, well, it's just another opponent.

43:22.260 --> 43:25.260
He doesn't mind if he's just going to continue to play his game.

43:28.260 --> 43:30.260
First two kills in the match so far.

43:30.260 --> 43:35.260
Player that could go a whole heck of a lot higher if Shopify Rebellion aren't careful.

43:35.260 --> 43:39.260
After that tech pause, after the rest of the van phase, they will take away the Azami.

43:39.260 --> 43:43.260
Operator that P9 was playing last time, but also an operator that Hoshone could go crazy

43:43.260 --> 43:44.900
with those Keebas getting aggressive.

43:44.900 --> 43:46.540
You never know what might be in store.

43:46.540 --> 43:47.900
They're looking out off the board.

43:47.900 --> 43:49.580
Going back to R6 from an office,

43:49.580 --> 43:51.660
only change we have in this defensive lineup

43:51.660 --> 43:53.780
is the introduction of a two-barrel.

43:53.780 --> 43:55.460
Leaving face on the echo.

43:55.460 --> 43:58.060
Also a smoke as well, making its way in.

43:58.060 --> 43:59.940
A lot of plant denial for twisted minds.

43:59.940 --> 44:02.100
And given the rebellion and their tendencies,

44:02.100 --> 44:04.020
I think that's a pretty good call.

44:04.020 --> 44:06.500
Rebellion again being quite skinny on the utility though.

44:06.500 --> 44:08.500
They're not bringing any redundancy here.

44:08.500 --> 44:11.620
We saw Canadian and Rexon both fall very early

44:11.620 --> 44:12.940
in round number one.

44:12.940 --> 44:15.620
Rexon falls again, and we don't see those walls open.

44:15.620 --> 44:19.020
We haven't seen a reasonable enough response right now

44:19.020 --> 44:21.580
for what to do if that goes wrong.

44:21.580 --> 44:24.500
So Rexon needs to keep himself really safe right now

44:24.500 --> 44:26.060
so that those helmets can be used,

44:26.060 --> 44:27.140
the walls can be opened,

44:27.140 --> 44:30.060
and we can start to see a little bit more of this plan.

44:32.740 --> 44:35.140
And really keeping that duo powerful operators alive, right?

44:35.140 --> 44:36.900
And we've seen it basically every single round,

44:36.900 --> 44:38.260
whether it's a ying and a demos,

44:38.260 --> 44:39.740
a demos, doke, be in a blitz,

44:39.740 --> 44:41.340
a ying and a doke, be in a grim,

44:41.340 --> 44:43.700
in this case a Ying and a Grim again.

44:43.700 --> 44:45.620
Shotfire Bellion have lost these powerful operators

44:45.620 --> 44:46.820
so consistently.

44:46.820 --> 44:48.500
Whatever they have in store for R6 Room,

44:48.500 --> 44:50.220
whether it is a plant focused execute,

44:50.220 --> 44:51.820
whether it's just going for the kills,

44:51.820 --> 44:54.060
it has to come through intact.

44:54.060 --> 44:57.220
Even if they lose a body, just keep those alive.

44:57.220 --> 44:58.380
Starting off on the outside,

44:58.380 --> 45:00.660
Rexon will put some of that hard breaching to use.

45:00.660 --> 45:02.820
Already at this point in round one,

45:02.820 --> 45:05.180
the rebellion were in a 5v3 with twisted mines

45:05.180 --> 45:08.700
running out of Skybridge, taking aggressive fights,

45:08.700 --> 45:09.740
getting a 5v3.

45:09.740 --> 45:13.120
This time, they're playing a bit more reserved, playing a bit more passive.

45:13.120 --> 45:16.540
Barret's clearly didn't get the memo. Smoke roaming down below.

45:16.540 --> 45:19.900
Spotted by Ami already. He had seven kills in three rounds.

45:20.700 --> 45:22.960
C4 attempted over the top there from J.L.A.N.

45:22.960 --> 45:26.040
And a mirror trick. We don't always get to see those.

45:26.040 --> 45:28.740
But a good read as to where the Selma was placed.

45:28.740 --> 45:31.240
The Zoto kinda started to slow that down.

45:31.240 --> 45:33.440
And then a mirror window to be placed on.

45:33.440 --> 45:36.540
It is gonna just entirely destroy that Selma.

45:36.540 --> 45:41.540
And it's gonna mean that we're only really able to make a crouch roll at the moment at the best.

45:41.540 --> 45:46.740
And that is if we don't see any further tricking business here by tricking himself.

45:46.740 --> 45:49.140
Looks like we will get a little bit open for...

45:49.140 --> 45:50.640
That's not ideal.

45:50.640 --> 45:51.940
No, you're not getting through that.

45:51.940 --> 45:55.140
Nobody on the planet is getting through that summer charge.

45:55.140 --> 45:58.640
Don't go things in a different way, but having the Grem, having the Ying is important.

45:58.640 --> 46:00.940
But again, the Ying is the first attacker to fall.

46:00.940 --> 46:04.380
Spoy already used all of his B's on the offside.

46:04.380 --> 46:09.740
And what better player for the round to maybe weigh on than Andy, especially as Rex in.

46:09.740 --> 46:12.300
Next up against this twisted 9's defense.

46:12.300 --> 46:16.460
Andy's trying to play the vertical throughout this mid-round and unfortunately with his team

46:16.460 --> 46:20.860
following up above, might have to move up green stairs to cover that diffuser.

46:20.860 --> 46:23.580
Joined up with Serp. It's now these two players.

46:23.580 --> 46:28.860
One half of them fall. The other two, Spoy with a bay lift, can only down tricks.

46:28.860 --> 46:36.220
Finished with the assault rifle, but twisted minds now with three rounds on shop of five rebellions favorite map

46:36.700 --> 46:42.540
If the alarm bells aren't sounding yet, just wait a couple more rounds and at this pace they will be soon

46:42.940 --> 46:45.540
We're almost a break glass tarot trillings

46:45.940 --> 46:53.820
Yeah, I mean guys. Yeah. Yeah. Listen our early round ideas are good. We're not being careful, and we're not being coordinated, okay?

46:53.820 --> 46:57.820
If we want to rotate, we need to make sure that we're counting down so we can all go

46:57.820 --> 46:58.820
together.

46:58.820 --> 46:59.820
They are giving us picks because they're being aggressive.

46:59.820 --> 47:00.820
We need to be patient.

47:00.820 --> 47:01.820
We need to be all together.

47:01.820 --> 47:02.820
Okay?

47:02.820 --> 47:07.320
If we're going solo, if we're not working together to do it, you're giving them what

47:07.320 --> 47:09.740
they want because they're just getting twos on you, right?

47:09.740 --> 47:11.740
They're giving them what and they're using teamwork.

47:11.740 --> 47:13.020
Use that against them, right?

47:13.020 --> 47:15.340
For baseman here, we might have gaps if they're fighting us.

47:15.340 --> 47:16.340
Let's try to ID that.

47:16.340 --> 47:19.900
Guys, the biggest thing you hear is, I think we have good early round ideas.

47:19.900 --> 47:22.260
Our mid and late round execution right now is poor.

47:22.260 --> 47:23.260
We're not working together, okay?

47:23.260 --> 47:31.260
Let's settle down, let's get on the same page. I want to hear 3-2-1s. We need to make sure that we're coordinating utility for each other, helping each other, okay?

47:31.260 --> 47:34.260
Let's get this fucking win this shit now, come on.

47:35.260 --> 47:44.260
Just a lot of talk during the attack timeout about tightening things up, playing together on those 3-2-1s, but also specifically closing gaps in Shopify Rebellion's mid-round.

47:44.260 --> 47:51.260
Mandy creeping up there, of course, gets the opening pick, but it seems to be this minute 30-45 second area where the Rebellion had the most trouble.

47:51.260 --> 47:59.260
No one needs to hear it from me, this is what a great read of the game and how it's playing out at the moment.

47:59.260 --> 48:05.260
Please write great early round ideas, but the execution is getting a little bit poor in that mid to late round.

48:05.260 --> 48:14.260
21 is not doing things together. We're consistently seeing SR give 1v1s or 1 vs 2s away, just drip, drip, drip.

48:14.260 --> 48:17.260
And we don't want to see that from this team, we know that they are better than that.

48:17.260 --> 48:22.640
than that. Twisted mind, their game plan at the moment is fantastic because they're not giving any space away,

48:22.640 --> 48:27.160
then allowing any sort of execute because of how tight they're playing together.

48:27.160 --> 48:29.520
We know them to be quite an individual team.

48:29.520 --> 48:35.260
We know them to have tendencies to go off there on the roam and aggressively play and really take a lot of risks.

48:35.260 --> 48:38.900
We've seen some risks taken here, but I've not seen anything that I've looked at on go.

48:38.900 --> 48:41.860
Ooh, that's a little bit beyond the norm.

48:41.860 --> 48:45.120
They've just been playing very good teamwork seats so far,

48:45.120 --> 48:53.120
And it's demonstrated in the squad right now, just in mind, if they get a 4 or 2 defense out of this, that's going to be fantastic, especially because this is Rebellion's best map.

48:53.120 --> 49:00.120
Ooh, Machoam taking another engagement. Won't find anything? Maybe another, actually.

49:00.120 --> 49:08.120
Lot of presence, lot of base being shown towards this scopos. I think Machoam gets away intact.

49:08.120 --> 49:13.760
Wait, too far around that corner, a little too slow unfortunately, taking a lot of damage

49:13.760 --> 49:15.560
within the first 45 seconds.

49:15.560 --> 49:20.200
A consistent play by Twisted Minds, fire some shots outside of these windows, then go for

49:20.200 --> 49:23.320
something a little later once you hit that mid-round point.

49:23.320 --> 49:27.480
Another thing, Super pointed out, Twisted Minds are clearly giving the rebellion picks,

49:27.480 --> 49:29.480
they are not at all worried about taking fights.

49:29.480 --> 49:33.700
And it comes likely from that confidence that the desk talked about, somebody wins under

49:33.700 --> 49:35.200
their belt.

49:35.200 --> 49:39.200
the farthest some of these players that Metta have made.

49:39.200 --> 49:41.200
The Rebellion maybe starting to take that into account.

49:41.200 --> 49:44.200
Jay-Laz the first to go down eight and three so far.

49:44.200 --> 49:47.200
And at times also big player in this tournament,

49:47.200 --> 49:49.200
specifically in that series yesterday.

49:49.200 --> 49:51.200
And so, Shopify Rebellion gained the advantage

49:51.200 --> 49:53.200
and moved to the halfway point around.

49:53.200 --> 49:56.200
This is where we need to see things tighten up for the attacking team.

49:56.200 --> 49:58.200
The positioning in the moment from her, Sean,

49:58.200 --> 50:00.200
is Tex talk to his play style.

50:00.200 --> 50:02.200
He's all the way on that top floor.

50:02.200 --> 50:04.200
He's got a hatch open and he can see through

50:04.200 --> 50:10.600
some of the bird. I've got no doubt in my mind that the Rebellion has no clue he is there and he

50:10.600 --> 50:14.840
is going to be the big playmaker here. At the moment he's leaving his team a little bit light on

50:14.840 --> 50:19.400
the side. It's going to be a five versus three if Rebellion choose to just push straight through.

50:19.400 --> 50:25.240
However, his impact through that lay around, it's going to be big. It's going to be big if he survives.

50:25.240 --> 50:29.480
Same might be said for Server the Shotgun around the corner. Two more attackers fall, guards get

50:29.480 --> 50:36.480
I don't know how that happened, dealing with fights in front and behind them, but the Rebellion quickly taking the lead away.

50:36.480 --> 50:38.480
I'll be it, only briefly.

50:38.480 --> 50:40.480
Asham moving back to the site, I do think?

50:40.480 --> 50:41.480
No!

50:41.480 --> 50:43.480
I think the Dogonikawa might have just interrupted it.

50:43.480 --> 50:45.480
It's totally tricked them all into the moment.

50:45.480 --> 50:48.480
Skopo so far away, quickly trying to rotate down.

50:48.480 --> 50:51.480
The trick's surviving, but he absolutely needs to.

50:51.480 --> 50:53.480
Asham finally making it back.

50:53.480 --> 51:05.640
back. Andy. Lois can walk to a spot to put the glass! Those late round fights are so tricky.

51:07.640 --> 51:11.880
If a defender has his back to you, I think anybody wins that on any day.

51:12.680 --> 51:17.080
I'm being the right place at the right time. Consistently, one of the last players alive

51:17.080 --> 51:19.080
4 Rebellion throughout this first map.

51:20.080 --> 51:22.080
Hashom, you have the right read.

51:23.080 --> 51:28.080
A rogue dog will be called, something he's not accounted for to slow him down from getting back down to site.

51:29.080 --> 51:34.080
Not able to find a pick through the floor and having to take that heads-up gunfight with little to no information.

51:39.080 --> 51:41.080
They told me to line up for him.

51:43.080 --> 51:44.080
Bit of a...

51:44.080 --> 51:45.080
Without a clutch it's poor.

51:45.080 --> 51:49.420
I was about to say, quite a, quite a stacked up attack from Shopfire Rebellion.

51:49.420 --> 51:54.920
Three players pushing through the same doorway and might be not only a clutch 1v1 from Ambi,

51:54.920 --> 51:56.760
but a clutch Dokeby call as well.

51:56.760 --> 52:02.440
Setting up for a 2v1 trade on the side and then Ambi end up positioning himself for the 1BX.

52:06.640 --> 52:09.920
Rebellion now with a chance to walk away with an even split on this first half.

52:09.920 --> 52:18.040
We've seen them play so many times inside the stage, one and two each year, plenty of

52:18.040 --> 52:19.040
times in kickoff.

52:19.040 --> 52:24.280
You'll be excused for expecting a little bit more from them out here, particularly when

52:24.280 --> 52:27.680
you remove those two rounds that they've won away.

52:27.680 --> 52:30.480
Both come off the back of Ambi.

52:30.480 --> 52:35.880
Makes for a good moment.

52:35.880 --> 52:36.880
Makes for something to talk about.

52:36.880 --> 52:42.880
But the rebellion only coming out of two attacks because of Andy 1v1's not what you want to see especially when a shulm

52:43.560 --> 52:46.820
Sitting it up storeway will be droned by the attack

52:47.480 --> 52:52.760
This has been a consistent element of twisted minds defenses and it seems the rebellion are now wise to it

52:53.720 --> 52:57.840
attackers consolidating around the skybridge position Andy 9 and 3 right now

52:58.640 --> 53:06.480
Only Claire positive by saw by a wide margin toxic canisters thrown out as a rebellion thinking of taking some quick control inside of lair

53:06.880 --> 53:13.360
You can hear that doggy logic bomb phone call going up now and P9 will be caught at the moment.

53:13.360 --> 53:16.960
The player on the upside down repelling the shield not too far away.

53:16.960 --> 53:19.840
He needs to be cautious just outside of storage right now.

53:19.840 --> 53:23.400
He needs to play it safe.

53:23.400 --> 53:28.440
His toxic canisters will buy him some time but Andy also looking for a mid-round fight

53:28.440 --> 53:31.440
to show him no idea he's here.

53:31.440 --> 53:37.440
The Rat King, beat the Pretender, or will Ambi just sitting around the corner?

53:37.440 --> 53:45.440
Shown face checking, ready for it as P9 goes down upstairs, but Shown finally commits!

53:45.440 --> 53:51.440
Dome's Ambi on first floor, and now the Rebellion decide they need to pick up the pace.

53:51.440 --> 53:57.440
Defenders sitting behind these mirror windows, Statter like flies, Canadian blinding one, but can't land the shot.

53:57.440 --> 54:01.440
Surf next up with a shotgun moving in for the finisher, but that's shield.

54:01.440 --> 54:04.440
When you're already low HP, legs exposed.

54:04.440 --> 54:08.440
Not much the defense can do, and not much they need to do.

54:08.440 --> 54:11.440
The Rebellion now, full clearing top floor.

54:11.440 --> 54:15.440
Guards, thinking about a retake just around the corner.

54:15.440 --> 54:17.440
Spoigt, he hears and knows he's there.

54:17.440 --> 54:20.440
Got an ID on Tricks, moving as well from the opposite position.

54:20.440 --> 54:22.440
A double pinch, but one goes to Solas' way.

54:22.440 --> 54:25.440
Shotgun as well for Dresden, good for it.

54:25.440 --> 54:30.440
These rounds have come down to the wire every single time.

54:30.440 --> 54:32.440
Now guards.

54:32.440 --> 54:34.440
Is the bees scatter?

54:34.440 --> 54:37.440
Are they just out of range?

54:37.440 --> 54:42.440
He is just ever so barely.

54:42.440 --> 54:46.440
There's no way.

54:46.440 --> 54:50.440
The rebellion with 25 seconds left.

54:50.440 --> 54:54.440
They think they have peace of mind.

54:54.440 --> 55:04.440
They think top four is clear, they think the Malusse is in the wind, and yet as Rexon holds on, he spots it at the last second!

55:04.440 --> 55:15.440
That could have been the end of everything, but Rexon, just checking all his bases, ties it for Shopify Rebellion.

55:24.440 --> 55:29.720
That first half we haven't had that the entire tournament the reason now that is the stress levels, okay?

55:30.000 --> 55:32.000
Let's calm down a little bit. Okay?

55:32.000 --> 55:37.560
That's work great team. We we offer those last two rounds all we need to do is trust each other work together

55:37.560 --> 55:39.560
Okay

55:39.680 --> 55:43.440
For a basement which are you first like the clash of the bureau one?

55:45.080 --> 55:48.440
Okay, so what are we running for master? We're gonna do what the valve first

55:49.360 --> 55:52.560
On the clock or what? Yeah, you should go class. Okay?

55:54.440 --> 56:00.840
um play what he normally does up to you willy i mean i can do that zombie time okay i'm working

56:00.840 --> 56:06.680
real please gonna be playing desk more yeah so okay i just want to remind you guys of what to

56:06.680 --> 56:12.360
expect okay on their ops takes uh they'd love to do four ones and what i mean by four ones is

56:12.360 --> 56:17.160
like a shield and a breach through ops they'll like to play a snake or info it could be anybody

56:17.160 --> 56:21.800
really on the bathroom windows and then they'll just walk one of the main stairs they'll use a

56:21.800 --> 56:26.800
First one, the north-west. Let's do the push where you go into position and then you rotate.

56:26.800 --> 56:28.800
I know. Tricks are shown levels.

56:28.800 --> 56:29.800
Yeah, the north-west.

56:29.800 --> 56:34.800
And then for basement, I said we're going to find the thing that's not clear.

56:34.800 --> 56:37.800
And for bugs, they're going to do something horizontal. Let's make sure.

56:37.800 --> 56:41.800
If they do a horizontal thing, I have something in mind you can do like a rush inside.

56:41.800 --> 56:45.800
If they don't think we do the default, they hold the bug, we can go for the north-west.

56:45.800 --> 56:48.800
Guys, remember, 3, 2, 1, prep, run, good prep, run.

56:48.800 --> 56:55.040
and fucking pick them, if they start to straight and hide guys, just pick them and put them

56:55.040 --> 56:57.040
guys, they are shaking

56:57.040 --> 56:59.040
yeah, yeah, yeah

56:59.040 --> 57:01.040
let's play with one

57:01.040 --> 57:03.040
come, come up

57:03.040 --> 57:05.040
guys, the words are gone

57:05.040 --> 57:07.040
we are going to get the words

57:07.040 --> 57:09.040
let's go guys

57:09.040 --> 57:11.040
let's go, let's go

57:11.040 --> 57:13.040
let's go

57:18.800 --> 57:25.800
A lot of talk of course of these halfway attack timeouts, but given Shot Fire Billion tying things at the very end

57:25.800 --> 57:29.800
It was looking not scary Ollie. I was getting completely nervous

57:29.800 --> 57:35.800
But even when you go like you have two rounds that are 1v1s from the guy who went nuclear yesterday

57:35.800 --> 57:36.800
I was getting a little worried

57:36.800 --> 57:39.800
Even the last round it took a 3k from Rexon to pull it off

57:39.800 --> 57:42.800
That's something that will happen over the course of a game

57:42.800 --> 57:44.800
It's just the way that seeds plays

57:44.800 --> 57:46.800
But every round was down to individual play

57:46.800 --> 57:53.360
play. I think the SR slowly slides the warm-up into the series ever so slightly. The Twisted

57:53.360 --> 58:02.240
Minds, they are confident in themselves right now. Happy to peek, happy to swing, no one

58:02.240 --> 58:08.400
needs to play this, strafing down space door, Andy and her shum attempt downstairs and the

58:08.400 --> 58:13.040
shum just doesn't open, you know what, I'm just peeking you flat out instead. The confidence

58:13.040 --> 58:16.320
This level on Twisted Minds right now is through the roof and it should be!

58:16.320 --> 58:18.320
Played some good siege to get to this point.

58:18.320 --> 58:21.320
And even half of left, no one's complaining.

58:21.320 --> 58:27.000
With how many wins they have racked up in, you know, the Saudi League before EML, coming

58:27.000 --> 58:37.000
in third inside of EML, qualifying 2-0 over G2, making it further than G2.

58:37.000 --> 58:40.720
We say there's good reason for Twisted Minds to be confident, but for show in particular,

58:40.720 --> 58:45.040
This guy's been confident since he literally came out of nowhere in Atlanta.

58:45.040 --> 58:50.000
And also, gave some of the best teams in that whole tournament a run for their money and

58:50.000 --> 58:51.640
beat some massive teams.

58:51.640 --> 58:55.840
That was two and a half years ago and that confidence has not dropped off since then.

58:55.840 --> 58:58.720
But Shulma's always played and his teams have always played.

58:58.720 --> 59:00.920
Like there's not a single bit of pressure on them.

59:00.920 --> 59:05.000
Like they're always just grateful to be here and it's the other teams that have to be shaking,

59:05.000 --> 59:09.520
that have to be nervous, that have to constantly worry about the pressure.

59:09.520 --> 59:17.160
That's Shopify rebellion or at least that's what twisted minds think and as we move into this back half of layer a Shopify rebellion move to their defenses

59:17.240 --> 59:20.940
Go to the top floor, but look to shake off some of those expectations

59:22.080 --> 59:27.720
Heavy shield line up being bought from twisted minds in round number seven the shield even on the side of

59:28.160 --> 59:30.160
The rebellion that's less

59:31.040 --> 59:35.160
About the do you like to play a lot of class? Do you see that quite often tricks?

59:35.160 --> 59:38.520
in the start to try and make a little bit of progress upstairs.

59:38.520 --> 59:41.440
Some pre-placed drones already that we can see at Garza's feet,

59:41.440 --> 59:44.280
just removing some of that defender utility,

59:44.280 --> 59:46.000
getting the default cameras dealt with,

59:46.000 --> 59:49.120
making it essentially Taylor's attention elsewhere now.

59:49.120 --> 59:51.320
Just waiting for some of the flames to dissipate.

59:51.320 --> 59:53.320
We also see the breach be open.

59:53.320 --> 59:55.080
Again, good little litigation ban.

59:55.080 --> 59:56.840
Teams not wanting to mess around,

59:56.840 --> 59:59.760
just want to be able to get those walls open nice and quickly

59:59.760 --> 01:00:01.040
and focus on the rest.

01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:02.600
But look at this from Sir.

01:00:02.600 --> 01:00:04.840
He's wanting to shield down, he's making the challenge.

01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:15.140
He made the stand and he hits him with the assist, but Hashom, no flies on him, immediately swings round 180 on the spot, takes him down.

01:00:16.140 --> 01:00:24.640
Shield for a shield is not a bad trade whatsoever, but the guard is pushing up quite deep off the bathroom hallway, but ended up losing a second if twisted mines aren't careful.

01:00:24.640 --> 01:00:29.640
Sends, I think, always telegraphs a push over towards the office side.

01:00:29.640 --> 01:00:32.640
We should try to throw those RRU projectors out.

01:00:32.640 --> 01:00:34.640
A lot of snow canisters being used early.

01:00:34.640 --> 01:00:35.640
Hachom finding another.

01:00:35.640 --> 01:00:37.640
Ambient stead.

01:00:37.640 --> 01:00:40.640
Over towards the Skybridge position, found out by the gridlock.

01:00:40.640 --> 01:00:43.640
Twisted mines with an advantage with still a minute to go.

01:00:43.640 --> 01:00:45.640
Jaila, got a bit of a line here.

01:00:45.640 --> 01:00:49.640
He knows where people are, but it's all on P9 to really make anything happen from below.

01:00:49.640 --> 01:00:50.640
Jaila, just get back.

01:00:50.640 --> 01:00:51.640
Take, spot down.

01:00:51.640 --> 01:00:53.640
That's just going to open things up here.

01:00:53.640 --> 01:00:56.960
4v2 this should be such an easy conversion.

01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:01.160
Canadian especially not only down to one top to canister but down to just himself.

01:01:01.160 --> 01:01:04.560
Talad! Both with the final two kills.

01:01:04.560 --> 01:01:08.800
Maybe the expectation still sitting heavy on Shotlify Rebellion's shoulders

01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:10.880
because Twisted Minds have another lead.

01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:16.280
Twisted Minds with a slightly alternate approach there as well.

01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:17.880
Not a lot coming in through the upside.

01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:18.440
Oh, not at all.

01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:20.360
Everything happening through bathroom, through museum.

01:01:20.360 --> 01:01:44.800
I got a save. North America, we're kind of getting dogwalked right now. He shows hitting

01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:51.940
Shots like that Jaylats hit a double kill at the end. I mean is this is this the end for the rebellion? Is this lair?

01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.760
Surely surely it can't be twisted minds up for three. I don't know

01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:04.480
I think it's time to get nervous

01:02:05.160 --> 01:02:09.320
One round of the sideswap so it's all clear how the rest will transpire

01:02:09.320 --> 01:02:16.320
Twisted mines still at the time now. If they continue to attack in that fashion.

01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:20.320
Who knows what's going to happen?

01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:26.320
You keep seeing how shotgun shots like that. I'm kind of nervous at what will happen.

01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:34.320
One thing to discuss though. You mentioned earlier that Twisted mines tend to play some very loose operators and Snake is one of them.

01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:41.320
That Soliton Scanner gives a lot of information, guards as well, has been playing the shield so consistently this event, quite lethally might I add.

01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:46.320
It will be aided by Intel, gathered by Hashel, and Ambi will run Ambi's information quite quick.

01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:49.320
Right with the destructive ingredient, good play by the Solus.

01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:54.320
It's only going to ward off the clear though, Ambi is pretty much buying itself, the impact goes out down so...

01:02:59.320 --> 01:03:03.320
Ambi's fine getting cut off there, frankly, somebody needed to put a stop to him.

01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:09.040
And he's alleviating a lot of pressure here in round number eight for the rebellion.

01:03:09.040 --> 01:03:13.800
Not only has he dealt with the blitz, but he's also dealt with the snake.

01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:19.220
Two tips of almost the same spear in terms of information gathering and value the attack

01:03:19.220 --> 01:03:20.720
are looking to bring.

01:03:20.720 --> 01:03:24.720
For the first time in a long time we see the rebellion with an advantage here in terms

01:03:24.720 --> 01:03:25.720
of man count.

01:03:25.720 --> 01:03:27.920
We really hope we'll be able to work this now.

01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:28.920
Twisted mines.

01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:32.480
We're going to have to dig back, go look at more old fashioned drones.

01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:34.240
There's some yellow pings knocking around here.

01:03:34.240 --> 01:03:36.400
JLAD can start to move through.

01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:40.600
But already the Rebellion recognizing the work that Ambier's already put in.

01:03:40.600 --> 01:03:41.760
They don't want to slander it.

01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:44.120
They don't need to play too far up right now.

01:03:46.120 --> 01:03:47.520
You don't need to with a 4v3.

01:03:47.520 --> 01:03:49.840
We still have plenty of great on-site utilities.

01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:50.960
C4 smokes.

01:03:52.160 --> 01:03:53.120
The calls probably already been made.

01:03:53.120 --> 01:03:56.560
The twisted mines will have to win this just by working in the mid-round.

01:03:56.560 --> 01:03:58.120
Good information gathered by the Grimm.

01:03:58.120 --> 01:04:00.160
C4 sent out by a spoilt.

01:04:00.160 --> 01:04:01.040
They're tucked around the corner.

01:04:01.040 --> 01:04:02.120
They don't have good for it.

01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:06.160
trying to do double duty on both those angles. P9 just deviates the next one.

01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:13.040
How could wrap around? Rexxing around the corner. There's a mirror window in this no-mass way.

01:04:13.040 --> 01:04:18.160
I was about to say, twisted minds not getting too ahead of themselves just yet. A different call.

01:04:19.520 --> 01:04:22.720
They're gonna pivot and they're gonna just try to clear out from downstairs.

01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:27.520
Because the problem with doing that is that you're still leaving defenders upstairs with great angles

01:04:27.520 --> 01:04:31.120
from there. Rexxing and Surf, look at the amount of floor that they've got open right now.

01:04:31.120 --> 01:04:35.720
They should be able to see everything they need, but Canadian lose the fight on the first!

01:04:36.220 --> 01:04:40.220
Tricks just getting the tightest angle imaginable, there was no way Canadian could win that.

01:04:41.220 --> 01:04:44.420
But Surf and Rexon boast still up above, oh no, Surf down below!

01:04:45.420 --> 01:04:46.720
That's Rexon, excuse me.

01:04:47.220 --> 01:04:48.020
He's waiting.

01:04:48.620 --> 01:04:53.620
Sees one around the corner, C4 goes out, lands right at Tricks' feet, another lefty-left for Rexon!

01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:58.220
Twisted mines are making it easy for him, but P9 taking the bird!

01:04:58.220 --> 01:05:02.420
It is another one with DX against the Rebellion and Twisted Minds.

01:05:02.420 --> 01:05:05.220
P9 has some information, but only some.

01:05:05.220 --> 01:05:12.820
He's got to recover this diffuser, bait out the plant, bait out the swing, and try and evade these vertical angles as best he can.

01:05:12.820 --> 01:05:19.220
Only three seconds ago, Surf Biting is time, waiting, walking, and fight for it!

01:05:22.220 --> 01:05:25.620
That is Shopify Rebellion's third one, DX!

01:05:25.620 --> 01:05:30.140
They might be too close for comfort, but they're getting the job done.

01:05:31.640 --> 01:05:34.980
Rebellion of fighting for recognition between themselves at the minute.

01:05:34.980 --> 01:05:37.700
Ambi, his impact is known now.

01:05:37.700 --> 01:05:41.940
We know what he did yesterday and we saw what he did there at the start of the round.

01:05:41.940 --> 01:05:45.900
Rexing for me and that late round play, keeping it cool,

01:05:45.900 --> 01:05:49.260
making the decision to drop back onto site,

01:05:49.260 --> 01:05:51.020
having the information to be able to pull it off.

01:05:51.020 --> 01:05:57.020
And the few of the players inside of North America that I would want personally in a clutch,

01:05:57.020 --> 01:05:58.020
nothing sir.

01:05:58.020 --> 01:06:07.020
A player who's worried when it comes to clutches, is called as Ice in that one versus one.

01:06:07.020 --> 01:06:12.020
And we think about Serp's clutches and how lethal they were, you think back to the Montreal

01:06:12.020 --> 01:06:18.020
Major, an insane performance in Serp that event, monstrous 1vx's, insane amount of kills for

01:06:18.020 --> 01:06:20.020
a player that's normally on the back line.

01:06:20.020 --> 01:06:24.020
And you know the crazy thing about the Montreal Major, Ollie?

01:06:24.020 --> 01:06:28.020
Is that the last time we saw this core on a main stage?

01:06:28.020 --> 01:06:32.020
It's been what? Unit? SIs?

01:06:32.020 --> 01:06:37.020
And out of Major, that was the last time we saw a surf Canadian...

01:06:37.020 --> 01:06:39.020
Well, excluding this one, of course.

01:06:39.020 --> 01:06:43.020
It has been a long time that this rostered, despite keeping a lot of the pieces together,

01:06:43.020 --> 01:06:48.020
they have struggled to really live up to not only the reputation with the name Shopify Rebellion,

01:06:48.020 --> 01:06:52.020
They did it yesterday. They're doing it today. Keep it close against Twisted Minds.

01:06:52.020 --> 01:06:55.020
That's another 1vx in a game that could not be closer.

01:06:56.020 --> 01:06:57.020
Drone ready.

01:06:57.020 --> 01:07:01.020
Still got some of the same flavors from yesterday, but it's stark contrast really, isn't it?

01:07:01.020 --> 01:07:04.020
We've still got a lot of coaches. We've still got a lot of big individual performance.

01:07:05.020 --> 01:07:09.020
The scoreline's 4-4. It's a different landscape entirely.

01:07:09.020 --> 01:07:13.020
And that's because Twisted Minds are putting up a hell of a fight right now.

01:07:13.020 --> 01:07:20.020
It's unclear which way this game will fall at round nine.

01:07:20.020 --> 01:07:23.180
Starts to get the feeling we might be headed to a little bit of an overtime if we continue

01:07:23.180 --> 01:07:25.740
to flip the flop between my locations.

01:07:25.740 --> 01:07:27.500
A lot of pressure on this entry now.

01:07:27.500 --> 01:07:31.020
It's been an engagement that twisted minds have lost.

01:07:31.020 --> 01:07:33.460
Lost five rounds in a row.

01:07:33.460 --> 01:07:37.860
With Snake being alive, you would expect to show him to have a little bit more info as

01:07:37.860 --> 01:07:39.900
to where these defenders are hiding.

01:07:39.900 --> 01:07:42.760
Oof, Jaylatt has some information.

01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:45.660
Spots the right side of just one guy's head.

01:07:45.660 --> 01:07:47.620
Are you stunned by the Okas and quickly backs off?

01:07:47.620 --> 01:07:49.060
Thinks better of that engagement.

01:07:49.060 --> 01:07:51.220
Especially so close to the site this early on.

01:07:51.220 --> 01:07:52.620
A lot of work for Twisted Minds to do.

01:07:52.620 --> 01:07:54.100
They can get the vertical play.

01:07:54.100 --> 01:07:56.540
They can hunt down anybody who might be thinking about

01:07:56.540 --> 01:07:58.860
moving beyond the immediate realm of the site.

01:07:58.860 --> 01:08:00.740
Rexon, for example, playing a bit aggressive

01:08:00.740 --> 01:08:02.140
over on the yellow stairs.

01:08:03.460 --> 01:08:06.940
Twisted Minds taking a very measured approach.

01:08:06.940 --> 01:08:09.020
Opening engagement's happening before half around

01:08:09.020 --> 01:08:13.820
both previous attacks in this one. I think it's still going to be quite a long time until we see it.

01:08:39.020 --> 01:08:41.020
P-Nod next up on deck!

01:08:43.020 --> 01:08:46.020
Three shots, three kills.

01:08:47.020 --> 01:08:48.020
Re-loading in.

01:08:48.020 --> 01:08:51.020
Rexxen's decided that the rebellion need a hero,

01:08:51.020 --> 01:08:54.020
and he comes clad in purple.

01:08:54.020 --> 01:08:57.020
How about lucky that we're good-willed?

01:09:01.020 --> 01:09:03.020
Now for show.

01:09:03.020 --> 01:09:17.820
Pocky ass can be. Do you think that you can handle this? Do you think with four kills

01:09:17.820 --> 01:09:21.420
That Brexit isn't gonna get you!

01:09:47.820 --> 01:09:57.820
The show is winning the battle but not the war of round 10, round 9.

01:09:57.820 --> 01:10:01.820
Brexen hit me so hard I forgot how to count.

01:10:01.820 --> 01:10:05.820
The show gets the one-gun fight, Ali, but impactless.

01:10:05.820 --> 01:10:08.820
Oh, without a doubt.

01:10:08.820 --> 01:10:10.820
Chokes him to the top of the stairs.

01:10:10.820 --> 01:10:12.820
We need to listen to him.

01:10:12.820 --> 01:10:16.860
to the arm-up control and split after this, okay?

01:10:16.860 --> 01:10:19.420
In the main wall, I have no banting office, right?

01:10:19.420 --> 01:10:21.500
I think we can prepare the main wall

01:10:21.500 --> 01:10:24.980
and take only ops and after this split and play.

01:10:24.980 --> 01:10:27.300
Grim is open, have so many things open.

01:10:28.180 --> 01:10:31.100
And in the basement, I think we just do the default,

01:10:31.100 --> 01:10:33.140
they're all Humpty, and also we can split

01:10:33.140 --> 01:10:35.580
or we can Humpty, remember what you did against DK?

01:10:35.580 --> 01:10:37.500
And should I echo, you can do the same thing.

01:10:37.500 --> 01:10:39.580
Okay, guys, listen to me.

01:10:39.580 --> 01:10:43.580
I saw the first step, and they gave me a penalty, I mean, I took the second step.

01:10:43.580 --> 01:10:44.580
Nice.

01:10:44.580 --> 01:10:49.580
The second step, from the one who's standing next to me, is like this, they're calling me a second step, and I'm going to take it, and I'm going to take it, and I'm going to take it.

01:10:49.580 --> 01:10:50.580
So what are we going to do?

01:10:50.580 --> 01:10:52.580
We're going to take the first step, and then we're going to run.

01:10:52.580 --> 01:10:53.580
We're going to run, we're going to run.

01:10:53.580 --> 01:10:55.580
Everyone is going to their place, and they're going to the place, and they're going to run.

01:10:55.580 --> 01:10:57.580
Because they don't know how to play this game.

01:11:09.580 --> 01:11:17.020
players for the rebellion. Obviously, this needs no introduction. A huge 4K with the M5

01:11:17.020 --> 01:11:22.300
9, but even to finish off their attacks, a big 3K from Rexon as well. Having a great

01:11:22.300 --> 01:11:26.540
game yesterday too, a player that is kind of fallen by the wayside on the rebellion

01:11:26.540 --> 01:11:30.460
in light of some of the bigger names. Absolutely, and you'd think that that'd be something that

01:11:30.460 --> 01:11:34.060
Twisted Minds could deal with. One player playing smoke at the top of some stairs,

01:11:34.060 --> 01:11:39.020
the shotgun. It happens on nearly every map. In that position, every time somebody's playing

01:11:39.020 --> 01:11:41.020
there's a smoke there.

01:11:41.020 --> 01:11:43.020
Stunned them into a tactical timeout,

01:11:43.020 --> 01:11:45.020
and it was enough to even force them back into

01:11:45.020 --> 01:11:47.020
native tongue, like they weren't speaking English

01:11:47.020 --> 01:11:49.020
in that time, and that was very specific, very direct.

01:11:51.020 --> 01:11:53.020
Just in mind, obviously, feeling the pressure here.

01:11:53.020 --> 01:11:55.020
Not wanting to let rebellion

01:11:55.020 --> 01:11:57.020
stretch too much of a lead right now.

01:11:57.020 --> 01:11:59.020
But the way that we've got some of these players

01:11:59.020 --> 01:12:01.020
performing,

01:12:01.020 --> 01:12:03.020
Rexon, Sir, Ambi,

01:12:03.020 --> 01:12:05.020
all of them have had incredible

01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:07.020
impacts over rounds, almost single-handedly.

01:12:07.020 --> 01:12:11.020
It's almost single-handedly brought them over the line for a rebellion right now.

01:12:12.740 --> 01:12:17.420
Two rounds away from taking us to the second map in the series, Twisted Minds now.

01:12:17.820 --> 01:12:19.420
A chance to try and stabilize.

01:12:23.340 --> 01:12:28.180
Chance to stabilize, but as the rebellion have begun posing problems in front of

01:12:28.180 --> 01:12:29.260
Twisted Minds, they've struggled.

01:12:29.660 --> 01:12:34.060
Something that Akali, Crowe and I, I think we've talked about many times with Twisted

01:12:34.060 --> 01:12:35.460
Minds. This team is great.

01:12:35.460 --> 01:12:47.460
They did the excellent gun skill, they are menaces in the server, but sometimes, you put a problem in front of them and they just seem to struggle a little bit, like their brains get broken sometimes.

01:12:47.460 --> 01:12:52.460
And in that case, when something's so simple as a smoke on the stairs, they peek them one by one by one.

01:12:52.460 --> 01:12:59.460
Here's another problem. You've got a player, Bottom Rocket. Maybe some vertical angles, but beyond that, this player's immediately clear.

01:12:59.460 --> 01:13:04.460
He's playing conservatively on Rocky with some magnets and some barbed wire.

01:13:04.460 --> 01:13:06.460
He's moving back up now.

01:13:06.460 --> 01:13:09.460
Twisted Minds Credit, they don't overpick. They don't get aggressive.

01:13:09.460 --> 01:13:13.460
But now that they're all joining together, how do you solve that problem?

01:13:13.460 --> 01:13:15.460
Exactly. So it's happy to give away that position.

01:13:15.460 --> 01:13:17.460
He doesn't need to commit any more magnets to it.

01:13:17.460 --> 01:13:18.460
He can say, you know what? I'll back up.

01:13:18.460 --> 01:13:21.460
I'll play the magnets upstairs a little bit deeper back anyway.

01:13:21.460 --> 01:13:24.460
And I'm a little bit more less vulnerable from player just walking up.

01:13:24.460 --> 01:13:26.460
They know that there's going to be a shield in play.

01:13:26.460 --> 01:13:30.060
as good as Shields are going upstairs which spoil the work. They're not that great.

01:13:30.060 --> 01:13:32.620
It's still a Mugung Fire that you really want to be taking.

01:13:32.620 --> 01:13:37.500
P9, his focus in this round is likely going to be to get a lot of that vertical work done.

01:13:37.500 --> 01:13:41.980
Still very unsure as to where anybody can be. We're going to transition upstairs.

01:13:41.980 --> 01:13:44.780
We've not really seen him use that skeleton too much this year.

01:13:46.460 --> 01:13:51.340
Now instead, the classic indication going for alert sees the default cameras off just

01:13:51.340 --> 01:13:53.220
just gonna push up, but it's 10.

01:13:53.220 --> 01:13:54.540
Spot position with guards.

01:13:55.660 --> 01:13:57.100
Join them on the rocket stairs.

01:13:57.100 --> 01:13:58.260
Hard breach, now it's accessible.

01:13:58.260 --> 01:14:00.100
Twist in mind, that was gonna say,

01:14:00.100 --> 01:14:01.020
here's one problem,

01:14:01.020 --> 01:14:02.980
split behind the Kiva barriers,

01:14:02.980 --> 01:14:04.140
with blast sitting in the smoke,

01:14:04.140 --> 01:14:06.860
it is about as simple a solution as you can get.

01:14:06.860 --> 01:14:09.060
This one's been more complicated though.

01:14:09.060 --> 01:14:13.540
Jaden still has 17 fire canisters,

01:14:13.540 --> 01:14:17.100
tucked behind a deployable shield at long range.

01:14:17.100 --> 01:14:19.980
Gotta take a lot to undo that position.

01:14:19.980 --> 01:14:21.980
That is the only thing they've got here to deny the plunder.

01:14:21.980 --> 01:14:23.980
Already the blitz is storming through!

01:14:23.980 --> 01:14:27.480
He's just run in, guards, eagle, peeks, all of them!

01:14:27.480 --> 01:14:30.980
Canadian insert fold of the pistol, but Ambi,

01:14:30.980 --> 01:14:35.980
he is miles away from the site, cannot stop this diffuser.

01:14:35.980 --> 01:14:41.480
And a 1v4 at these odds in this position.

01:14:41.480 --> 01:14:44.480
He's got information, he's ready with the pre-fire,

01:14:44.480 --> 01:14:47.480
but twisted minds seem to be ready with the angle too.

01:14:47.480 --> 01:14:50.240
There's one. It's got three more.

01:14:50.240 --> 01:14:53.200
Talked around the corner. A sub-rampal's trained his way.

01:14:53.200 --> 01:14:54.880
He's trying with these three fighters.

01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:59.320
He's trying his best, but P9, a skeleton key at close range,

01:14:59.320 --> 01:15:01.320
makes a mincemeat of the Fenrir.

01:15:01.320 --> 01:15:03.120
You can see it in Hashim's face there,

01:15:03.120 --> 01:15:05.680
regardless of that being a 4 vs 1.

01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:09.040
Relief to close it out.

01:15:09.040 --> 01:15:13.440
As soon as those two kills come out and you know how capable Andy is,

01:15:13.440 --> 01:15:17.440
do you start to wonder, have we just pushed it a little bit too far?

01:15:17.440 --> 01:15:22.040
Big opening for Twisted Minds.

01:15:22.040 --> 01:15:26.120
They gained so much space from a glass stood in the cloud of smoke.

01:15:26.120 --> 01:15:29.960
As soon as Spoyd died on desk, behind those Keeper barricades,

01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:32.160
nobody was in position to take that place.

01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:37.280
Nobody was able to retake that ground.

01:15:38.360 --> 01:15:40.680
And when you're relying on the Shumiko launcher,

01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:43.560
it's not as good as it sounds today, it's not as deadly.

01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:44.880
You can just storm through them.

01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:49.500
Well, and you know what the ironic thing about that is, I think you and I were sitting here

01:15:49.500 --> 01:15:52.620
literally asking about how often do we see a team actually storm a Tachanka?

01:15:52.620 --> 01:15:53.620
Yeah.

01:15:53.620 --> 01:15:55.620
Because it really does not happen at all.

01:15:55.620 --> 01:16:00.980
It is very rare you see a team actually make that play, and for anybody to do it, it kind

01:16:00.980 --> 01:16:02.940
of makes sense for it to be twisted minds.

01:16:02.940 --> 01:16:08.220
A team that really is not wedded to the quote unquote fundamentals or laws of seeds that

01:16:08.220 --> 01:16:09.620
I think all of us are used to.

01:16:09.620 --> 01:16:17.240
The last time I saw that, I think it was in like an M80 game when Ashen, of course, rushed up to Chaka on Bank and got him with the Bering 9.

01:16:17.240 --> 01:16:20.980
That was like 6 to 9 months ago. It's not something we see.

01:16:20.980 --> 01:16:26.060
The twisted minds are fine making that call, but clearly sharp and smart enough to make that call.

01:16:26.060 --> 01:16:31.020
And have the skill to keep this as close as possible on Shopify Rebellion's map.

01:16:34.540 --> 01:16:38.040
Especially when you start to think about what map you're in this series could look like.

01:16:38.040 --> 01:16:42.040
Not a map of PC, SR play all too often.

01:16:42.040 --> 01:16:47.040
They're going to need a result here if they want to avoid going to wall 3.

01:16:47.040 --> 01:16:50.040
Guards, we're starting to get that wall open.

01:16:50.040 --> 01:16:54.040
It's the first step of attacking into the bunk and briefing.

01:16:54.040 --> 01:16:56.040
Typically isn't too contested.

01:16:56.040 --> 01:16:59.040
We came up against a little bit of obstacle there.

01:16:59.040 --> 01:17:01.040
That now done.

01:17:01.040 --> 01:17:03.040
Attention can be turned elsewhere.

01:17:03.040 --> 01:17:05.040
A vertical clear, top down.

01:17:05.040 --> 01:17:13.040
Top floor is being held at the moment by all available defenders, nobody is sitting on the site.

01:17:13.040 --> 01:17:23.040
They have these tight angles, they have choke points, they themselves have generated 3 ADSes.

01:17:23.040 --> 01:17:30.040
All stacks up to spoiling an attempt to try and keep him alive, but it isn't going to stop the march from swissing his mind right now.

01:17:30.040 --> 01:17:37.040
Just slowly making progress up Skybridge, slow because of the insane amount of utility pushed.

01:17:37.040 --> 01:17:41.040
Just to hold this one position, C4 hits the floor.

01:17:41.040 --> 01:17:46.040
And unfortunately, for the top of our rebellion, the Blitz taking a negligible amount of damage.

01:17:46.040 --> 01:17:52.040
Got information on not only the Asami below the staircase, but even on the support being supplied by the Eager.

01:17:52.040 --> 01:17:58.040
Bruxen with the first, but in terms of the position that Twisted Minds are focusing on, it could not be better.

01:17:58.040 --> 01:18:01.420
And yet, Floyd's just turning to the right, finds one.

01:18:01.420 --> 01:18:02.920
But, Parv, what is this?

01:18:02.920 --> 01:18:04.620
He's at the site?

01:18:04.620 --> 01:18:07.620
Dealing with the vertical angles, guards on for three.

01:18:07.620 --> 01:18:12.120
It is just the retake for Shopify Rebellion now.

01:18:12.120 --> 01:18:15.620
Sirf, he's got the angles, he's got the time,

01:18:15.620 --> 01:18:17.620
but he's looking the wrong way.

01:18:17.620 --> 01:18:19.120
Guards might be planning it, sir.

01:18:19.120 --> 01:18:21.120
Tricks might be planning it, Smoke.

01:18:21.120 --> 01:18:23.120
But if Sirf is looking at the wrong angle,

01:18:23.120 --> 01:18:26.620
those glasses aren't gonna do squat.

01:18:26.620 --> 01:18:30.660
And now they just hold their post-plants with a shulma around the corner

01:18:30.660 --> 01:18:32.660
It has got to be a two-man retake

01:18:32.660 --> 01:18:35.260
Stacking up on the opposite side C4 will clear the way

01:18:41.260 --> 01:18:45.500
He says about both with five shots and twisted minds

01:18:48.900 --> 01:18:52.980
They have put all of us all of you on that point

01:18:56.620 --> 01:19:20.620
and I'm going to be back.

01:19:26.620 --> 01:19:48.620
playstyle. Yes, they've been aggressive. We've also seen a lot of structure. Navigating that plant down there, this is a team that barely plants. They have less than one plant per map on record at Salt Lake City. We've seen it attempted twice, and we've seen it go down once. They're changing the playstyle, they're changing the landscape, the way that they approach the game.

01:19:48.620 --> 01:19:51.620
And so far it's working against the Rebellion.

01:19:51.620 --> 01:19:53.620
Five seconds left.

01:19:53.620 --> 01:19:56.620
It could not be working better right now.

01:19:56.620 --> 01:20:03.620
And the thought that is weighing more and more in my mind as we've seen the Rebellion now play 12 rounds on Lair.

01:20:03.620 --> 01:20:08.620
It's that up there five rounds, three of them came down to 1v1s.

01:20:08.620 --> 01:20:15.620
One of them came down to a huge Rex and 4k in which Twisted Minds has peaked him one by one.

01:20:15.620 --> 01:20:22.620
When you think about who has been the better team, who has been the better five-man squad,

01:20:22.620 --> 01:20:29.620
it's increasingly looking like there might just be one answer to that question on there.

01:20:29.620 --> 01:20:35.620
I think the crowd certainly thinks Shopify Rebellion have one more round in them.

01:20:35.620 --> 01:20:40.620
Just one more defense. Is all the rebellion need to push this to overtime?

01:20:40.620 --> 01:20:44.620
Just a third round out of six. How hard could that be?

01:20:44.620 --> 01:20:49.620
As a Shome sends out the Doka V call, you won't find any resistance on this top floor.

01:20:49.620 --> 01:20:54.620
They will start moving down and already with some boogie drone holes made in the floor,

01:20:54.620 --> 01:20:58.620
they can start to root out some of that Defender utility below.

01:20:58.620 --> 01:21:00.620
Full top floor clear at the moment.

01:21:00.620 --> 01:21:03.620
It's not one of the Rebellion I'm really wanting to challenge onto.

01:21:03.620 --> 01:21:06.620
They're happy to get themselves back down to the side.

01:21:06.620 --> 01:21:09.620
We've got Ambi floating around a little bit, but it's only really Wrexen

01:21:09.620 --> 01:21:14.580
Rexon playing in his signature blue stairs position and I've got a funny feeling links

01:21:14.580 --> 01:21:17.300
I don't think that twisted mines are gonna push him one by one this time

01:21:17.300 --> 01:21:20.260
I think they might either ignore it or deal with it in a different way

01:21:21.060 --> 01:21:26.260
You know the twisted mine are gonna give him four 1v1s on round two of this site

01:21:27.020 --> 01:21:30.280
Perfectly space so they can reload the shotgun every single time. I

01:21:31.580 --> 01:21:33.580
Some odd don't think they're

01:21:35.020 --> 01:21:37.020
The nine my group is wrong

01:21:37.300 --> 01:21:39.300
There's a little bit of a difference isn't there

01:21:39.620 --> 01:21:43.220
This go-around, we have a clash supporting Rexon on this position.

01:21:44.500 --> 01:21:46.340
He flits around the corner as well.

01:21:46.340 --> 01:21:49.220
I think Twisted Minds can tend to let that survive for the time being

01:21:49.220 --> 01:21:51.620
that two minutes have been used so far,

01:21:51.620 --> 01:21:55.860
and one minute might separate Jaffa by rebellion from map two for overtime.

01:21:56.820 --> 01:21:58.980
For the time being, it is something that you can largely ignore

01:21:58.980 --> 01:22:00.980
and continue to make progress elsewhere.

01:22:00.980 --> 01:22:04.340
God's got some brilliant angles at the moment down and toward Toxin,

01:22:04.340 --> 01:22:08.260
and that's going to be a good position to try and cut off and restrict some of this play.

01:22:08.260 --> 01:22:10.260
A high-strap air could be lethal.

01:22:11.260 --> 01:22:20.260
Could completely demolish the rebellion, or if some utility placed at the bottom of that hatch might have just been enough to stop this twisted-minds attack.

01:22:21.260 --> 01:22:22.260
We haven't seen it.

01:22:23.260 --> 01:22:29.260
No hero has arrived. No knight in shining armor for Shopify rebellion with 30 seconds to go.

01:22:30.260 --> 01:22:35.260
If they just want to win this on time, they have got one less player. They have two less players.

01:22:35.260 --> 01:22:42.260
But they have Andy, the man who made it happen against G2 yesterday, gets hit in the face by a flashbang.

01:22:42.260 --> 01:22:47.260
It might get slapped around by Twisted Minds if he's not careful, but it's only 10 seconds.

01:22:47.260 --> 01:22:50.260
Just 10 seconds ago, Twisted Minds start dropping bodies.

01:22:50.260 --> 01:23:09.260
and between them, it's a holy fact that means you don't need three minutes, just ten seconds

01:23:09.260 --> 01:23:11.280
push the rebellion to OT!

01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:30.980
What do we, what do we come up with earlier?

01:23:31.420 --> 01:23:32.180
The postman?

01:23:34.820 --> 01:23:36.300
Andy delivers in round 12.

01:23:36.300 --> 01:23:41.300
It's a consistent theme at the moment, isn't it, for the Rebellion roster.

01:23:41.300 --> 01:23:44.300
Whenever they find themselves in a dark corner.

01:23:44.300 --> 01:23:46.300
He was blind!

01:23:51.300 --> 01:23:54.300
This guy's cheating. Get him out of the server.

01:23:57.300 --> 01:23:59.300
He's been the light for Rebellion.

01:23:59.300 --> 01:24:03.300
Not only here on Live, but yesterday as well.

01:24:03.300 --> 01:24:10.300
The only reason right now the rebellion have another chance here on La.

01:24:10.300 --> 01:24:14.300
It's another round we can put in the ambi column.

01:24:14.300 --> 01:24:16.300
Ten seconds left.

01:24:16.300 --> 01:24:19.300
A four now?

01:24:19.300 --> 01:24:21.300
Five seconds remaining.

01:24:21.300 --> 01:24:24.300
I cannot believe this guy dude.

01:24:24.300 --> 01:24:27.300
I cannot believe this guy.

01:24:27.300 --> 01:24:31.300
Coming into this roster in, what, back before Sao Paulo?

01:24:31.300 --> 01:24:37.820
little over two years with this squad. He's been on one team in tier one. He has made his

01:24:37.820 --> 01:24:42.900
home on Shopify Rebellion and while he might not be 21 in one, he has just three kills

01:24:42.900 --> 01:24:50.420
below that bank kill count yesterday. Rexon has been doing great as well, but ambi two

01:24:50.420 --> 01:24:57.700
1vx's and now a 4k to save Shopify Rebellion's map. Wisted mind is now moving to the defense.

01:24:57.700 --> 01:25:01.700
And the rebellion is going to breathe a sigh of relief and they're on attack for overtime as well.

01:25:01.700 --> 01:25:05.700
Attack has been by far and away their better side of things.

01:25:05.700 --> 01:25:09.700
Bucking the trend a little bit slightly forward, where as a map overall,

01:25:09.700 --> 01:25:17.700
their rep will tend to edge a little bit further toward that defensive side.

01:25:21.700 --> 01:25:24.700
Media pressure here, J.L.A. finds Canadian!

01:25:24.700 --> 01:25:34.700
How's he doing that? Just around the mirror window. Flashbang going out. Oh, so unfortunate.

01:25:34.700 --> 01:25:42.700
And a moment like this for the Blackbeard to fall, even struggling on the hard breach.

01:25:42.700 --> 01:25:51.700
Twisted mines are not at all phased by Andy's antics. Rebellion now in a three to four man disadvantage.

01:25:51.700 --> 01:25:55.500
Two amazing kills from J.L.A.D. as well, isn't it some absolute zingers there?

01:25:56.200 --> 01:26:00.600
Flicking now over into the Yo-Kai drone guards can start to move some of that utility around.

01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:02.600
Just as we hit a brief pause.

01:26:03.100 --> 01:26:05.600
Got a great read on search position right now.

01:26:06.200 --> 01:26:08.600
Just going to continue to send in those Yo-Kais.

01:26:08.900 --> 01:26:11.200
Won't stop the deployable shield from going down though.

01:26:11.900 --> 01:26:15.600
That's going to remove a little bit of safety at the end of the corridor for him.

01:26:17.500 --> 01:26:19.600
Is it another round where we have to look toward Ambi?

01:26:19.600 --> 01:26:23.280
Is it another time we have to ask too much of one player?

01:26:23.280 --> 01:26:24.880
Deploy Selma!

01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:27.380
Still got some teammates at his shoulders.

01:26:27.380 --> 01:26:29.440
But even that's going to slow things down.

01:26:29.440 --> 01:26:32.280
Selma getting destroyed by that Nitro cell.

01:26:35.040 --> 01:26:37.960
Taking hit after hit in the utility column.

01:26:37.960 --> 01:26:41.960
Shopify Rebellion seemed to be trying to take things a different way.

01:26:43.080 --> 01:26:48.400
Rexon's gone on the roof and is calming like his life depends on it.

01:26:48.400 --> 01:26:50.400
Coming up with a different idea.

01:26:56.400 --> 01:26:57.400
Last breaks.

01:26:59.400 --> 01:27:02.400
Shot by Rebellion still without a clear way in.

01:27:02.400 --> 01:27:07.400
P9, more utility than he could spend if he had 10 lifetimes.

01:27:07.400 --> 01:27:09.400
Surf runs right into it.

01:27:09.400 --> 01:27:13.400
Shot by Rebellion, running right into Twisted Mind's hands.

01:27:13.400 --> 01:27:24.920
and Rexon powerless, defeated, an impactless kill as impactless can get completely stopped

01:27:26.040 --> 01:27:33.560
at the gates, twisted minds on map point. Rexon put himself in a really unfortunate position

01:27:33.560 --> 01:27:37.800
there on ace. No way of dealing with that Mero window. No way of being able to get himself

01:27:37.800 --> 01:27:42.120
into the building there. Just hoping that twisted minds were going to overpeak. Hoping that one of

01:27:42.120 --> 01:27:45.640
of his teammates might be able to find a pick and he can cover the plant but as

01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:49.280
soon as surf goes down drops the diffuser and he's left with no choice but

01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:54.600
he's gonna push through then on his own. There is gonna become a point where too

01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:58.160
much is asked of one player.

01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:06.920
The individuals have stepped up when the moment has called for it for Shopify

01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:13.100
rebellion they have answered they saved this team in round 12 but again all of

01:28:13.100 --> 01:28:19.040
this is on their number one preference this is home more than eight other maps

01:28:19.040 --> 01:28:22.440
in this pool this

01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:33.480
I'm calling it a great game yesterday I just want to say that shout out

01:28:33.480 --> 01:28:46.480
Unfortunately right now, NA is not doing very well, Ollie, down six to seven, oh no, down six to seven against Twisted Minds.

01:28:46.480 --> 01:28:49.480
It is looking really...

01:28:54.480 --> 01:28:58.480
We're going to particularly bleak even how some of these defensive rounds have gone for the Rebellion.

01:28:58.480 --> 01:29:02.480
How well we've seen Twisted Minds perform on their own attacks.

01:29:02.480 --> 01:29:03.480
Downstairs we go.

01:29:05.080 --> 01:29:07.680
It's somewhere that the rebellion feel like they've got a lot of confidence.

01:29:08.080 --> 01:29:11.480
One man came down to Rexham playing out of his mind with a shotgun on some stairs.

01:29:11.780 --> 01:29:15.080
The other three late-hatch dropping, well, two other than Ambi,

01:29:15.280 --> 01:29:18.080
to clutch out the day and save things once again.

01:29:19.080 --> 01:29:20.880
So, part of an individual performance,

01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:25.180
not seeing anything that gives us the indication here from the rebellion

01:29:25.280 --> 01:29:27.980
that this is a sound sight.

01:29:27.980 --> 01:29:32.500
It's more that they know that they're able to clutch up on it a little bit more than others

01:29:32.500 --> 01:29:35.860
And of course it is gonna force a full clear here for twisted minds

01:29:35.860 --> 01:29:42.240
Just spending a little bit more time making sure that everything is clear, but I like this line that J.L.A. is finding

01:29:43.380 --> 01:29:47.900
Maybe just slips himself in to stop there is able to disable one of the razor blooms

01:29:47.900 --> 01:29:53.940
That's gonna be the game giving up now knows that that isn't gonna be a viable option at least before the opening portion

01:29:53.940 --> 01:30:00.940
will turn his attention elsewhere. Tricks, they'll be getting in and clearing up a little bit of that barb to over towards the back side

01:30:00.940 --> 01:30:03.940
and looking to try and work some of those vertical angles as well and likely

01:30:03.940 --> 01:30:08.940
to run himself up on those back stairs and hopefully deal with Rexon.

01:30:09.940 --> 01:30:12.940
Need to deal with Rexon and Canadian.

01:30:12.940 --> 01:30:17.940
There's Clash also, just moving a little bit further into this second floor.

01:30:17.940 --> 01:30:19.940
Taking some forward control.

01:30:19.940 --> 01:30:21.940
Twisted mines have an idea on how to deal with it.

01:30:21.940 --> 01:30:25.940
This native land in the corner might follow him down the hatch if he's not careful, but no.

01:30:25.940 --> 01:30:28.940
Stuck on the lip, Canadian will make it back down.

01:30:28.940 --> 01:30:34.940
Rebellion have been so, so passive on these defenses, and I don't say that it's a bad thing.

01:30:34.940 --> 01:30:38.940
Twisted mines have been eager to take fights, and the Rebellion want to win this off of utility alone.

01:30:38.940 --> 01:30:41.940
Fireboat going in, and still some more work needs to be done.

01:30:41.940 --> 01:30:47.940
Canadian now, caught out with the fire, can't aggress up the stairs anymore, can't retake any of that space.

01:30:47.940 --> 01:30:52.940
Modular bomb phone call isn't going to really give anything away for him, he's fairly well known right now.

01:30:52.940 --> 01:30:57.940
That's how the rest of the players on the rebellion side, again we've got guards trying to work this fur.

01:30:57.940 --> 01:31:02.940
I do fear if we go for a hatch-up again from Twisted Minds, we may just get a similar result.

01:31:02.940 --> 01:31:06.940
We've not done all the work to whittle down any of these players so far.

01:31:06.940 --> 01:31:13.940
Rebellion have kept them at bay as long as they possibly can. At some point twisted minds are going to push in.

01:31:13.940 --> 01:31:15.940
There are still so many Vulcan packs alive!

01:31:15.940 --> 01:31:18.940
The trick's way into Andy is not cut off.

01:31:18.940 --> 01:31:22.940
With 18 kills, shooting a Blackbeard through his shield.

01:31:22.940 --> 01:31:27.940
Not possible. You have to win. Wait for tricks to ADS or knock that shield back.

01:31:27.940 --> 01:31:31.940
Spoints, not a no attack at the moment, but Canadians are in hand.

01:31:31.940 --> 01:31:38.100
And if the first pick for Shopify Rebellion, it is another low-time execute for Twisted

01:31:38.100 --> 01:31:39.100
Minds.

01:31:39.100 --> 01:31:43.100
Don't have an advantage, don't have the time, don't have the kills.

01:31:43.100 --> 01:31:48.420
And it's not envy, it's not a young gut, it's the ITL.

01:31:48.420 --> 01:31:51.420
Moving it to a 2v2 and Rexing.

01:31:51.420 --> 01:32:01.420
Rexing might shut it down, but Canadian leads the way at around 15.

01:32:01.420 --> 01:32:14.900
We are going to need 15 rounds here on last decide who is going one map up in the series.

01:32:14.900 --> 01:32:19.020
Kind of feel that when ambi goes down inside of toxin there you think, oh, that's the,

01:32:19.020 --> 01:32:21.540
there's the X factor gone.

01:32:21.540 --> 01:32:24.660
The Canadian starts to roll back the years in sight.

01:32:24.660 --> 01:32:28.340
There's a couple of great kills, twisted mines.

01:32:30.180 --> 01:32:32.820
Not able to operate under that short amount of time.

01:32:32.820 --> 01:32:35.780
They had spent an incredible amount of time on that clear.

01:32:36.780 --> 01:32:41.260
Rexnan, Canadian, both assisting with that with their aggressive plays.

01:32:41.260 --> 01:32:44.780
Up those Queen Stairs, and inside of the top floor.

01:32:46.900 --> 01:32:52.740
15 seconds at the point, Andy goes down, and, well, how much siege can you cram into 15 seconds?

01:32:52.740 --> 01:32:54.740
The answer, a hell of a lot.

01:32:57.620 --> 01:32:59.120
Really coming down to the wire.

01:33:10.020 --> 01:33:14.500
All 15 rounds, just to get here.

01:33:15.700 --> 01:33:20.300
Rebellion still winning every round as close as it could possibly get.

01:33:20.300 --> 01:33:25.300
The most dominant victory, by the way, they had three players remaining.

01:33:25.300 --> 01:33:29.300
Everything else has been either two or one remaining.

01:33:29.300 --> 01:33:37.300
It has been hard fought for Shopify Rebellion. It has not been clean, and it's not getting decisive.

01:33:37.300 --> 01:33:53.300
But one bullet, that's about as clean as you can get in Rainbow Six Siege.

01:33:53.300 --> 01:33:58.300
Hashom on the bench for the last round of lair.

01:33:58.300 --> 01:34:04.300
You got to give it to Hashom for giving it a go, I think really, but Rex is too good in the moment.

01:34:04.300 --> 01:34:13.300
I'm going to feel it in round 15 as well. Good night.

01:34:19.300 --> 01:34:23.300
I'll assist in some of this early control and early map presence.

01:34:23.300 --> 01:34:26.300
The rebellion are going to be looking to get here.

01:34:26.300 --> 01:34:28.300
already made his way right up Jayla

01:34:28.840 --> 01:34:31.780
Caught out there just needs to be a little bit careful Andy

01:34:31.780 --> 01:34:34.700
If you find his own outside to in here

01:34:34.700 --> 01:34:40.880
We've not even seen rebellion commit to the mattress yet and already they've got two picks already up five to three

01:34:41.980 --> 01:34:47.260
Jayla 15 kills so far, but rebellion looking to commit to this clear spoilt also creeping closer

01:34:48.060 --> 01:34:54.900
Surf dumping in some utility into our six room, but still taking some time to drone taking some time to clear things out

01:34:54.900 --> 01:35:08.660
the P9 creeping up to the window. But Amby looking to close the door on round 15. JLad and guards.

01:35:10.580 --> 01:35:20.180
20% of the job done. But that's just one quarter of 80 and not his guards. We've been knocked out!

01:35:24.900 --> 01:35:37.900
Chopper Barrebelli almost lose their home, but in all 15, just stay alive.

01:35:37.900 --> 01:35:44.900
Chopper Barrebelli getting it done there on map number one.

01:35:44.900 --> 01:35:53.900
Chris & Man's putting up an incredible fight for a map we've barely seen them play.

01:35:53.900 --> 01:36:02.900
The North American team, SR, come on enough on that, we'll be back right after this.

01:36:23.900 --> 01:36:25.900
I

01:42:23.900 --> 01:42:26.460
you feel it when this crowd is chanting your name?

01:42:26.460 --> 01:42:28.600
I mean, yeah, like, you know, we're wearing no chance

01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:30.200
in headphones, but you can definitely hear them

01:42:30.200 --> 01:42:31.100
in the loud.

01:42:31.100 --> 01:42:32.780
Surf turns you at the end of this game,

01:42:32.780 --> 01:42:34.420
and he said, you're him.

01:42:34.420 --> 01:42:36.460
Do you feel like him right now?

01:42:36.460 --> 01:42:39.020
I mean, yeah, I never told you about my main stage.

01:42:39.020 --> 01:42:40.180
I'm feeling great.

01:42:40.180 --> 01:42:42.940
Gards, you've been standing up and taking

01:42:42.940 --> 01:42:44.700
in the energy of this crowd.

01:42:44.700 --> 01:42:47.940
What's it like playing in enemy territory?

01:42:47.940 --> 01:42:49.900
I love the cloud energy.

01:42:49.900 --> 01:42:51.020
They hide me up.

01:42:51.020 --> 01:42:55.820
So, no matter what they say, it's like giving me energy.

01:42:55.820 --> 01:42:57.220
So keep it up.

01:42:57.220 --> 01:42:59.340
Incredible. Thanks, guys.

01:42:59.340 --> 01:43:02.220
Now that is how you start semifinals Saturdays.

01:43:02.220 --> 01:43:04.660
The Rainbow Six, Salt Lake City Major,

01:43:04.660 --> 01:43:07.620
and we have kicked things off in phenomenal fashion.

01:43:07.620 --> 01:43:10.820
And we're having a good time, Salt Lake City!

01:43:10.820 --> 01:43:13.780
Crazy, crazy beginning to a fuzz here.

01:43:13.780 --> 01:43:16.180
And we're having a great time to watching it, right?

01:43:16.180 --> 01:43:17.380
We sure are.

01:43:17.380 --> 01:43:19.020
What a game to go back and forth.

01:43:19.020 --> 01:43:20.700
And SR coming out on top at the end of it.

01:43:20.700 --> 01:43:23.580
I mean, we saw so many immense performances.

01:43:23.580 --> 01:43:25.060
I just want to say, Twisted Minds,

01:43:25.060 --> 01:43:26.500
the way that they were going for their attacks

01:43:26.500 --> 01:43:27.780
was amazing, the double shield.

01:43:27.780 --> 01:43:30.140
It was really aggressive, really taking space.

01:43:30.140 --> 01:43:32.140
That was what was giving them that edge on their entries.

01:43:32.140 --> 01:43:33.500
Absolutely, and then for Ambi, I mean,

01:43:33.500 --> 01:43:34.980
you said it in the beginning of this,

01:43:34.980 --> 01:43:37.980
can he get another game, another lifetime career game,

01:43:37.980 --> 01:43:39.900
20 kills, he absolutely did.

01:43:39.900 --> 01:43:41.420
But as you were talking about, I mean, you were talking about,

01:43:41.420 --> 01:43:43.140
it wasn't just on Ambi as well.

01:43:43.140 --> 01:43:45.140
Rexxen was also the backbone of the team,

01:43:45.140 --> 01:43:47.180
being able to clutch up in many given moments.

01:43:47.180 --> 01:43:48.260
You were talking about Top Yellow,

01:43:48.260 --> 01:43:50.060
he gets that four-counter, but again,

01:43:50.060 --> 01:43:52.380
This is, I mean we can't talk enough to do this,

01:43:52.380 --> 01:43:55.040
Matt's Justice, you would have had to walk this game.

01:43:55.040 --> 01:43:56.380
Every single round, yeah, Ambi,

01:43:56.380 --> 01:43:58.020
I don't know how you do that line.

01:43:58.020 --> 01:44:00.460
Getting that kill on Blizz, then being able to transition.

01:44:00.460 --> 01:44:02.780
Get the kill, get the down, and then the switch into it,

01:44:02.780 --> 01:44:04.580
and get the diffuser being planted.

01:44:04.580 --> 01:44:08.420
Ambi is literally a walking highlight reel.

01:44:08.420 --> 01:44:11.580
He's him, he's driving, he's living every second.

01:44:11.580 --> 01:44:13.540
I mean it's one of those things for Ambi,

01:44:13.540 --> 01:44:16.060
when you just show up, even in the first rounds,

01:44:16.060 --> 01:44:17.420
first situation on main stage,

01:44:17.420 --> 01:44:19.140
we saw him yesterday have a big game.

01:44:19.140 --> 01:44:22.500
That type of energy backed by the crowd, backed by everyone's support.

01:44:22.500 --> 01:44:24.380
I mean, it's only going to propel him that much further.

01:44:24.380 --> 01:44:26.900
And a lot of those times, I mean, that round where he got that 4K,

01:44:27.100 --> 01:44:28.900
that was a make or break round.

01:44:28.900 --> 01:44:30.420
Absolutely. You lose that, maps over.

01:44:30.500 --> 01:44:33.140
So amazing for Ambi to be able to have highlight plays like that.

01:44:33.140 --> 01:44:34.380
But the whole team came to play.

01:44:34.540 --> 01:44:35.820
I love that you mentioned Rexon.

01:44:35.820 --> 01:44:39.740
I mean, yeah, that big 4K, the last round being able to shut down Hachom

01:44:39.980 --> 01:44:42.140
very early on, it was very important.

01:44:42.140 --> 01:44:44.500
And so now, SR, when they're playing together like a team,

01:44:44.660 --> 01:44:46.060
they really look unstoppable.

01:44:46.060 --> 01:44:50.020
But going to clubhouse, that's Swiss in mind's best map.

01:44:50.020 --> 01:44:51.380
I mean, I think that's what worries me,

01:44:51.380 --> 01:44:52.900
because especially when we heard in the comms

01:44:52.900 --> 01:44:55.620
from Super very early on, he talked about those mid

01:44:55.620 --> 01:44:56.180
to late round.

01:44:56.180 --> 01:44:58.180
Hinden says that's always been play.

01:44:58.180 --> 01:45:00.340
That's always been the Achilles heels for SR.

01:45:00.340 --> 01:45:02.540
And now you're going to their best map.

01:45:02.540 --> 01:45:04.580
Now, it's not to say that they didn't have to fight tooth

01:45:04.580 --> 01:45:06.220
and nail, that they can, you know,

01:45:06.220 --> 01:45:08.980
breathe a sigh of relief getting over this hurdle.

01:45:08.980 --> 01:45:10.980
But I mean, by no means can they let their foot out

01:45:10.980 --> 01:45:11.660
the gas here.

01:45:11.660 --> 01:45:13.500
No, I love that you brought up comms,

01:45:13.500 --> 01:45:16.300
because the funniest calm was, well, either shaking,

01:45:16.300 --> 01:45:17.980
or going to be, you think, that's all.

01:45:17.980 --> 01:45:20.460
That's all coming back and winning OT.

01:45:20.460 --> 01:45:21.300
Oh, that was bad.

01:45:21.300 --> 01:45:22.900
You know what, as well, I think we've all,

01:45:22.900 --> 01:45:25.780
we've always been crying out for a villain once again here.

01:45:25.780 --> 01:45:26.460
Absolutely.

01:45:26.460 --> 01:45:28.460
And see, and we've got one right now.

01:45:28.460 --> 01:45:30.620
Let's talk about guards for a moment here.

01:45:30.620 --> 01:45:33.740
He has been winding this crowd up big time,

01:45:33.740 --> 01:45:37.380
standing up in big moments, and just, you know,

01:45:37.380 --> 01:45:40.780
playing like a master, but also being a master

01:45:40.780 --> 01:45:41.820
in front of the crowd.

01:45:41.820 --> 01:45:44.160
I mean, he's been such a backbone for Twisted Minds.

01:45:44.160 --> 01:45:46.120
Yesterday, he had over 30 kills.

01:45:46.120 --> 01:45:48.880
He's a big proponent as to why Twisted Minds

01:45:48.880 --> 01:45:50.280
were able to win against E.P. yesterday,

01:45:50.280 --> 01:45:51.960
being able to keep it so close now.

01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:53.920
I mean, he's very good on the defense,

01:45:53.920 --> 01:45:56.880
but that being said, he was very impactful behind those shields,

01:45:56.880 --> 01:45:59.480
being able to be the flex player on those entries.

01:45:59.480 --> 01:46:01.020
So when you have the double shield set up,

01:46:01.020 --> 01:46:02.960
being able to take position and you put him in there,

01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:06.260
he's doing his best job to be able to close out those rounds.

01:46:06.260 --> 01:46:08.460
And I think there's one way you can either deal with the crowd.

01:46:08.460 --> 01:46:11.120
You can either take the hate and let it hinder your performance,

01:46:11.120 --> 01:46:14.160
Or you can keep feeding into it and only amplifying.

01:46:14.160 --> 01:46:15.680
And I think that's exactly what we're seeing.

01:46:15.680 --> 01:46:18.240
We even saw in the interview talking about he loves the crowd

01:46:18.240 --> 01:46:18.960
no matter what.

01:46:18.960 --> 01:46:20.640
He'll dig and dish out whatever he wants.

01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:21.640
He absolutely enjoys it.

01:46:21.640 --> 01:46:24.000
And I think that's such a good mentality to have

01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:26.360
is to use the hate to generate the feel

01:46:26.360 --> 01:46:27.960
to get you into the next series.

01:46:27.960 --> 01:46:28.680
I love that.

01:46:28.680 --> 01:46:30.560
Use the hate to generate.

01:46:30.560 --> 01:46:32.640
Let's talk about Canadian for a minute as well.

01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:34.640
He stepped up in some big moments too.

01:46:34.640 --> 01:46:35.680
And let's by example.

01:46:35.680 --> 01:46:37.640
I think he also got some shit talk, I believe,

01:46:37.640 --> 01:46:38.880
from guards saying, what?

01:46:38.880 --> 01:46:41.480
Can Canadian and Ambi up for 24 kills?

01:46:41.480 --> 01:46:43.980
Just contributing his four kills to Ambi's 18 at the time.

01:46:43.980 --> 01:46:46.060
But then he also had some very clutch moments

01:46:46.060 --> 01:46:48.520
in these rounds where had he not got a couple of those kills

01:46:48.520 --> 01:46:50.360
late into the round, they probably don't win it.

01:46:50.360 --> 01:46:52.100
And then this is a different talking point

01:46:52.100 --> 01:46:52.940
when we're up here.

01:46:52.940 --> 01:46:55.380
So it's good to see that Canadians returning the clock,

01:46:55.380 --> 01:46:56.940
looking like he's 18 again,

01:46:56.940 --> 01:46:59.420
and still being a huge proponent for our S.R. success.

01:46:59.420 --> 01:47:01.220
I mean, you only need him to show up when it matters.

01:47:01.220 --> 01:47:03.180
I mean, I believe it was round 10 or 11,

01:47:03.180 --> 01:47:04.580
and it was a 3v3 inside.

01:47:04.580 --> 01:47:07.140
He got the first kill to be able to set up on Flash.

01:47:07.140 --> 01:47:08.180
It's situations like that

01:47:08.180 --> 01:47:10.380
where you need to be able to be able to get the kill.

01:47:10.380 --> 01:47:11.500
Canadian knows how to do it,

01:47:11.500 --> 01:47:13.100
but when it matters most is him being able

01:47:13.100 --> 01:47:14.220
to position everybody.

01:47:14.220 --> 01:47:16.580
If you have Ambi getting those early opening kills,

01:47:16.580 --> 01:47:19.180
being able to slow everyone down, focus on the executes.

01:47:19.180 --> 01:47:20.260
That's something that we're going to see

01:47:20.260 --> 01:47:22.980
heavily displayed on club because it's a very generic map.

01:47:22.980 --> 01:47:25.420
You need a good IGL to keep everyone on their toes,

01:47:25.420 --> 01:47:28.140
keep everything fresh of where the direction's going to be.

01:47:28.140 --> 01:47:29.700
Because if you don't have it, we know.

01:47:29.700 --> 01:47:31.700
Clubhouse, same old, same old.

01:47:31.700 --> 01:47:33.460
It's always going to be very default

01:47:33.460 --> 01:47:35.260
so the adaptive heavy team is going

01:47:35.260 --> 01:47:36.340
to have the edge on club.

01:47:36.340 --> 01:47:39.940
I agree. Let's just take a

01:47:39.940 --> 01:47:40.440
look at a little tweet down

01:47:40.440 --> 01:47:42.340
here as well from that

01:47:42.340 --> 01:47:44.340
siege guy. I'm being rex and

01:47:44.340 --> 01:47:46.340
combined for 35 kills. Holy

01:47:46.340 --> 01:47:48.340
smoke shopper five takes map

01:47:48.340 --> 01:47:50.340
one, and we're off to clubhouse.

01:47:50.340 --> 01:47:52.340
I think that the generic and

01:47:52.340 --> 01:47:54.340
the general consensus across

01:47:54.340 --> 01:47:56.340
the board here is that was the

01:47:56.340 --> 01:47:57.340
perfect start to a semi final.

01:47:57.340 --> 01:47:58.340
It's just whether or not this

01:47:58.340 --> 01:47:59.340
NA team can follow up and

01:47:59.340 --> 01:48:00.340
deliver something as special

01:48:00.340 --> 01:48:02.340
on football now, but it's always

01:48:02.340 --> 01:48:04.340
some that resides within the

01:48:04.340 --> 01:48:10.420
Consistently their resilience to get over it every single time and again they get to breathe a side of relief

01:48:10.420 --> 01:48:15.200
They have that extra little lifeline here in the best of three by getting that first map underway

01:48:15.200 --> 01:48:19.160
So again the pressure is more going to be on twisted minds here now granted

01:48:19.160 --> 01:48:23.560
We did see them in their series verse EP they lost that cafe. They said you know what that's their map

01:48:23.560 --> 01:48:26.580
We don't care. We're coming to our dogs. What else and what did they do?

01:48:26.580 --> 01:48:31.100
They dominated EP so I have no doubt regardless of the crowds against them regardless

01:48:31.100 --> 01:48:35.340
it seems like the other guys, they're on their home turf and we already saw what they can do.

01:48:35.340 --> 01:48:41.260
I would say as well though, Fox, that we don't feel all like twisted minds are shook by that result

01:48:41.260 --> 01:48:45.500
because, you know, they took it right to the wire. It felt like at times they might clutch up and win it.

01:48:45.500 --> 01:48:49.260
And now with their backs against the wall, they're finished up and they're coming right back in.

01:48:49.260 --> 01:48:51.500
And I feel like they're going to be reset and ready to go again.

01:48:51.500 --> 01:48:54.380
I mean, you know, hope so. They've been on the main stage before, like we highlighted.

01:48:54.380 --> 01:48:58.620
They've been in situations where they're not the fan favorites. The last time they were in Atlanta.

01:48:58.620 --> 01:49:00.620
So that being said, they know what they're facing.

01:49:00.620 --> 01:49:03.220
They're using it to be able to fuel themselves, like you said.

01:49:03.220 --> 01:49:05.020
At the end of the day, it is their map pick.

01:49:05.020 --> 01:49:09.020
Four on it, they beat EP, they beat G272 on clubhouse.

01:49:09.020 --> 01:49:10.820
It's one of those maps that they're very confident on.

01:49:10.820 --> 01:49:12.620
And they're one of the best defensive teams

01:49:12.620 --> 01:49:13.820
coming into the tournament.

01:49:13.820 --> 01:49:16.620
So that being said, clubhouse is all about how you win your attacks.

01:49:16.620 --> 01:49:19.020
And they have been, they look very exceptional

01:49:19.020 --> 01:49:20.220
with that double shield lineup,

01:49:20.220 --> 01:49:22.820
which I would have hoped the SR would have been better prepped

01:49:22.820 --> 01:49:24.820
because of teams like Five Fears.

01:49:24.820 --> 01:49:27.820
That being said, it seemed like that was catching the edge off a lot.

01:49:27.820 --> 01:49:30.060
So now going to club, we'll see if they take it off the road.

01:49:30.060 --> 01:49:32.180
I think when I'm looking at the strategical matchup side of things,

01:49:32.180 --> 01:49:34.980
especially on that attacking side, I would have to give it a twist of mind.

01:49:34.980 --> 01:49:37.220
Just you were talking about highlighting with the shield plays,

01:49:37.220 --> 01:49:39.380
them being able to be a little flexible, versatile on it,

01:49:39.380 --> 01:49:41.380
whether it was tricks bringing the shields, whether it was guards.

01:49:41.380 --> 01:49:43.300
That's what I'm expecting here coming into this clubhouse

01:49:43.300 --> 01:49:44.660
when we start on that attacking half,

01:49:44.660 --> 01:49:46.140
is they are going to be bringing those shields.

01:49:46.140 --> 01:49:48.460
They are going to be flexing, they are going to be taking that control

01:49:48.460 --> 01:49:50.980
and then letting her show them even J-Lat again, the IGL.

01:49:50.980 --> 01:49:52.300
I mean, he's been popping off as well.

01:49:52.300 --> 01:49:54.100
I know we highlighted her show early into this,

01:49:54.100 --> 01:49:57.620
but if we can have that same performance replicated throughout that last map

01:49:57.620 --> 01:50:02.180
And then even what was happening with EP with JLAC getting into the building going for flank leading his team

01:50:02.180 --> 01:50:06.400
I mean there he can be a very scary team on this clubhouse if you allow them to take that space

01:50:06.400 --> 01:50:12.000
That's the biggest thing that I'm gonna be looking forward to is how close SR can keep it together if they win great

01:50:12.000 --> 01:50:14.700
I mean work to I yeah, I don't keep it close

01:50:14.700 --> 01:50:20.000
I just don't want to see the momentum completely shift by twisted minds steamrolling them because we already know

01:50:20.180 --> 01:50:24.000
SR is not shaping anymore. So one more time. Yes, I know we're going to three maps

01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:25.680
We're going to three maps. We're going to three maps?

01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:26.800
I think we're going to three maps.

01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:28.800
So, Lake City, are we ready for clubhouse?

01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:33.520
Let's get into it with Lynx and X-Atroica.

01:50:34.880 --> 01:50:40.240
It took every ounce of talent on the Shopify Rebellion roster

01:50:40.240 --> 01:50:44.960
just to win 8-7 on their favorite map, Ollie.

01:50:44.960 --> 01:50:50.400
They might have the crowd buff, but Twisted Minds have something up their sleeve.

01:50:50.400 --> 01:50:53.040
It is their home turf up next.

01:50:53.040 --> 01:51:00.640
We have Clubhouse, map 2 between Shopify Rebellions and Twisted Minds, starting right now.

01:51:02.840 --> 01:51:06.840
Twisted Minds their pick. In this best of three, as you said, Lynx.

01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:10.040
It's going to be Clubhouse, and for very good reason.

01:51:11.440 --> 01:51:18.040
They've played this map four times in the last six months, and they've won it every single time.

01:51:18.040 --> 01:51:30.040
That's bad for us. That's bad for us. Why's it bad for us? Oh, it's actually great for you and I. Yes. Sorry. Me the North American. It's bad for us.

01:51:30.040 --> 01:51:38.040
I mean, I saw an old slouch on this map. They've got a lot more plays. They play it 10 times, but they're evens. They're 5 and 5. It's a little less impressive.

01:51:38.040 --> 01:51:43.080
You know, they played it a lot during kickoff. They played it a lot inside of AL as well

01:51:44.480 --> 01:51:47.520
So it's not unfamiliar territory. It's clubhouse for goodness sake

01:51:48.040 --> 01:51:52.280
We expect all teams to be very capable on this map

01:51:54.080 --> 01:51:57.120
Rebellion they are gonna be starting off on that defensive side

01:51:58.840 --> 01:52:06.160
Taking us downstairs in church national to kick things off for grim and a capital both removed the Cade and the mirror

01:52:06.160 --> 01:52:08.720
a very standard fans.

01:52:08.720 --> 01:52:11.960
Incidentally, rebellion chosen to leave open the shields,

01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:14.960
something that was so, so good.

01:52:14.960 --> 01:52:16.640
The Twisted Minds over on Lair.

01:52:16.640 --> 01:52:18.400
And not just leaving up the shields,

01:52:18.400 --> 01:52:21.680
but also leaving up the Deimos and the Snake.

01:52:21.680 --> 01:52:24.960
These are two operators that they played quite a lot

01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:27.840
against G2 when they, you know, just

01:52:27.840 --> 01:52:31.800
setting two of them in the twist stage.

01:52:31.800 --> 01:52:34.520
It tells me that one of two things are going to happen.

01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:39.880
And the rounds that the Rebellion do want to extend, they're gonna play a lot of mute jammers and they're gonna try and work around it that way.

01:52:39.880 --> 01:52:44.580
And the rounds where they don't really want to extend and not too interested, they're just gonna dig into those power positions.

01:52:44.580 --> 01:52:47.200
Because they've not got a Capitan, they've not got a Grim to go up against.

01:52:47.200 --> 01:52:53.280
And they're the best two operators for the attack when you try to root people out as strong positions inside.

01:52:53.280 --> 01:52:56.500
So the Rebellion have made their case fairly clear at this point.

01:52:56.500 --> 01:52:58.500
Have your shields, have your intel ops.

01:52:58.500 --> 01:53:01.880
We're gonna dig deep and we aren't gonna give ourselves away easily.

01:53:01.880 --> 01:53:06.920
And while there might not be any new jammers for this site, it seems like this first defensive

01:53:06.920 --> 01:53:09.240
base in the church arsenal is exactly that plan.

01:53:09.240 --> 01:53:12.920
We've got Vulcans packs, we've got Clashes, we've got Toxic Canisters, we've even seen

01:53:12.920 --> 01:53:15.960
quite a bit of Yeager play throughout this series so far.

01:53:15.960 --> 01:53:20.920
A couple times we've been to just bolster specific positions that the defense wants to hold, create

01:53:20.920 --> 01:53:23.320
an extra problem for Twisted Minds.

01:53:23.320 --> 01:53:27.840
Right out the gate, a boogie drone, not usually the kind of soft destruction we see on Blood

01:53:27.840 --> 01:53:32.400
house, but we sent right down the main hallway off towards Chain Repel and

01:53:32.400 --> 01:53:35.800
twisted mines trying to get some vertical destruction without engaging with

01:53:35.800 --> 01:53:38.360
the same kind of risk by entry kitchen hallway.

01:53:38.360 --> 01:53:42.600
Oh it's a nice angle, but Ambu's got himself there through that on the reverse.

01:53:42.600 --> 01:53:48.000
He doesn't put any damage down, but let's everybody know that he is there and he is

01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:55.440
watching. Can you hear him? Bit of a tough blow here to transition, it's always one that makes your toes curl when you see a shield walking underneath the

01:53:55.440 --> 01:54:18.400
One important thing to mention with these attacking bans, normally the capitol would specifically

01:54:18.400 --> 01:54:23.360
the Grimm great for this generator position. We basically see only those two sent there

01:54:23.360 --> 01:54:28.000
when they're available, but not only are they not there, this is where the Rebellion have

01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:34.960
put all of their ADS's. Vulcan packs as well, anticipating. Some kind of lurk! And P9 is

01:54:34.960 --> 01:54:39.440
found out immediately, thinking the Rebellion are a bit more lax than they actually are.

01:54:40.880 --> 01:54:45.760
See on the picture in picture, Twisted Mind's trying to get a bit of an alternate angle here.

01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:51.760
They've got the main stairs approach, they've lost that blue pressure, and now we start to see Derby open.

01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:54.320
Look at the stair kitchen right now.

01:54:54.320 --> 01:55:00.440
That's C4, almost did the finishing blow, but instead it was Rexon, straight onto the shop.

01:55:00.440 --> 01:55:03.960
Gards now though, pushing through, down the corridor.

01:55:03.960 --> 01:55:09.240
And now that he clear way through beyond that, he domes Rexon though, and he ready for the trade.

01:55:09.240 --> 01:55:15.960
You can make it a little harder for Andy. He's proving himself more capable in difficult

01:55:15.960 --> 01:55:25.320
engagements. And now Trix might just be electrocuted to death. Instead, Canadian, gun in hand, picks

01:55:25.320 --> 01:55:30.160
up the first round for Shopify Rebellion. The Rebellion are backing themselves in these

01:55:30.160 --> 01:55:34.560
late round executes at the moment. They're giving away so much map control in the knowledge

01:55:34.560 --> 01:55:36.860
that they can hold on when it matters most.

01:55:36.860 --> 01:55:40.320
They're playing fantastically around that utility.

01:55:40.320 --> 01:55:43.600
The Goyos, the ADSes, all of it working together.

01:55:43.600 --> 01:55:47.600
Canadian, a mobile riot squad at the minute on that clash,

01:55:47.600 --> 01:55:49.300
whether he wants to hold main stairs

01:55:49.300 --> 01:55:51.460
or whether he wants to just dig back.

01:55:51.460 --> 01:55:52.560
As we saw at the end of that round,

01:55:52.560 --> 01:55:54.300
he's just placing the shield down in church.

01:55:54.300 --> 01:55:56.400
They're really awkward position.

01:55:56.400 --> 01:56:00.160
No way of dealing with that at that point in the round.

01:56:00.160 --> 01:56:03.400
Rebellion's brief is clear at the moment.

01:56:03.400 --> 01:56:05.640
He's stacked up with just four of these defenders.

01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:07.640
These attackers, excuse me, support.

01:56:09.640 --> 01:56:12.520
Now's the love to play in blue, just stacking up all those ADSs

01:56:12.520 --> 01:56:14.720
while banning the Grim and the Capitao.

01:56:14.720 --> 01:56:16.600
Just a really nice pocket strat.

01:56:16.600 --> 01:56:18.640
Something that we usually see at events like this.

01:56:18.640 --> 01:56:21.440
An operator's not been picked for most of the event.

01:56:21.440 --> 01:56:23.320
And then all of a sudden, the semi-final, they're like,

01:56:23.320 --> 01:56:25.120
oh, turns out they have Jaeger's strat.

01:56:25.120 --> 01:56:27.720
So not just one, but two maps.

01:56:27.720 --> 01:56:28.800
Why?

01:56:28.800 --> 01:56:30.600
That's the semi, you need things like that.

01:56:30.600 --> 01:56:33.120
We've already been seeing a lot more one-eyed through the Swiss.

01:56:33.120 --> 01:56:36.800
And it's like it's just come to its full, you know, full evolution right now, isn't it?

01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:42.120
Or going back to the DZ Wildcard game yesterday, we saw Han cold in chat, Han cold in chat, Han cold in the arena,

01:56:42.120 --> 01:56:43.680
bringing out the Alibi yesterday.

01:56:43.680 --> 01:56:46.960
It is moments like this, when you're in the quarters, when you're in the semis,

01:56:46.960 --> 01:56:49.280
that something like that can just make the difference.

01:56:49.280 --> 01:56:52.560
Whether it's the MX-4 Storm or for utility, it doesn't matter.

01:56:52.800 --> 01:56:57.680
It is just something that the enemy team will not expect or something to make you comfortable.

01:56:58.520 --> 01:57:00.800
Riding in that chaos and that uncertainty.

01:57:03.120 --> 01:57:07.120
Just in mind, slightly slower approach here, in part due to the bandit.

01:57:07.120 --> 01:57:12.120
In addition, our bandit here in round number two, it's going to be Canadian Rock and Map.

01:57:12.120 --> 01:57:16.120
Don't believe he placed his bandit batteries on the flat wall instead.

01:57:16.120 --> 01:57:18.120
He's got them a little bit deeper on that cash wall.

01:57:18.120 --> 01:57:22.120
It's still going to reinforce, flatten, force an exothermic to be used to open that.

01:57:22.120 --> 01:57:27.120
So my course has three exothermics now, so it can be a little bit more liberal with the usage on those.

01:57:27.120 --> 01:57:31.120
Hashom, thinking about a little bit of a walk up these cash days here,

01:57:31.120 --> 01:57:35.120
as there is a little bit of an extension right now being put in from the rebellion.

01:57:35.120 --> 01:57:39.120
Man of the moment, Ambie, really in the hot seat,

01:57:39.120 --> 01:57:42.120
and a lot of tools being given and afforded to him right now.

01:57:42.120 --> 01:57:45.120
He's playing on the smoke, swimming himself, has got a ton of utility,

01:57:45.120 --> 01:57:48.120
but he's got ADSs, one of these, just come back online.

01:57:48.120 --> 01:57:50.120
The Nade will be good enough to destroy the shield though,

01:57:50.120 --> 01:57:52.120
and that's going to leave him vulnerable.

01:57:52.120 --> 01:57:54.120
It'll leave him vulnerable so he'll try to go prone.

01:57:54.120 --> 01:57:56.120
Oh, look at this angle from Hashom.

01:57:56.120 --> 01:58:01.800
A man that has spent three years of his pro career lying on the floor trying to gain an

01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:06.120
advantageous angle over Ambie. Instead, it is surf the lounge player first to go down.

01:58:07.720 --> 01:58:14.840
Wisted minds. Who have read the CCTV and cash extension struggling to clear it out despite

01:58:14.840 --> 01:58:20.200
how fervently shot by rebellion are keeping hold of it. Now making their way into CCTV,

01:58:20.200 --> 01:58:23.440
Ooh-hoo! A bullet flies by Andy's head.

01:58:23.440 --> 01:58:25.600
Another buries itself into his thigh.

01:58:25.600 --> 01:58:30.040
But Canadian burying attackers inside a CCTV.

01:58:30.040 --> 01:58:32.480
But only one!

01:58:32.480 --> 01:58:34.600
Instead, it's bodies out the rebellion

01:58:34.600 --> 01:58:36.640
that litter the second floor.

01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:37.880
Twisted Minds made the right call.

01:58:37.880 --> 01:58:40.440
The call was just to flood in and get the kills.

01:58:40.440 --> 01:58:42.680
They're tired of this utility game

01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:44.840
that the rebellion are wanting to play right now.

01:58:44.840 --> 01:58:47.720
We even have Canadian bandit tricking there inside of cash

01:58:47.720 --> 01:58:49.080
just trying to delay.

01:58:49.080 --> 01:58:54.280
those attackers moving through, but if you're bringing a Monty, you can pretty much just ignore all of that.

01:58:54.280 --> 01:58:57.960
Pull your way straight through the door and immediately start to open things up.

01:58:57.960 --> 01:59:01.240
Couple of kills found from the rebellion, but it was not enough.

01:59:01.960 --> 01:59:08.440
Entire defense of Jim Zide going down and all in CCTV being cached,

01:59:08.440 --> 01:59:10.200
because that's where the whole bush was from.

01:59:11.960 --> 01:59:15.640
We will be going to that CCL and cached area this time for round three though,

01:59:15.640 --> 01:59:19.640
Is that it? It's gonna be the bomb site chosen by the rebellion here.

01:59:21.640 --> 01:59:24.640
And the whole round is gonna go down to the gym bedroom.

01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:28.640
Every single kill is actually happening in Bathroom.

01:59:28.640 --> 01:59:30.640
Opposite side of the map.

01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:34.640
Good case, honestly.

01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:38.640
Depends on where the Azami's playing. Sometimes we've seen teams play the Azami in normal spotting rafters.

01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:42.640
Other times when you've had something like a Will My or a Yeager available,

01:59:42.640 --> 01:59:47.540
You'll actually see the Azami kind of play more around the construction or the bedroom position

01:59:48.320 --> 01:59:49.820
Rexon

01:59:49.820 --> 01:59:51.080
Magnets ready

01:59:51.080 --> 01:59:53.760
Getting a long angle tags up one

01:59:54.120 --> 01:59:58.600
But it's just guards who is going to take about half damage from the m14

01:59:58.840 --> 02:00:02.080
To twisted minds hoping that maybe rexon will overplay his hand

02:00:02.680 --> 02:00:07.460
Today Rex has got a very big job on this catwalk as you mentioned links. It's not the Azami

02:00:07.460 --> 02:00:10.000
It's gonna be the Aruni that is playing in this position now

02:00:10.000 --> 02:00:13.000
Now he has the DMR, so that's gonna be a fantastic tool.

02:00:13.000 --> 02:00:14.680
You only need to land a couple of bullets,

02:00:14.680 --> 02:00:16.320
couple that with the ACOG brilliant.

02:00:16.320 --> 02:00:17.680
His biggest vulnerability at the minute

02:00:17.680 --> 02:00:19.880
is that he's got no cover to work behind.

02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:21.840
And that couple of mages there likely,

02:00:21.840 --> 02:00:24.000
and he doesn't have to worry about a capital or a grim,

02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:26.000
but he's still gonna be a little bit exposed.

02:00:26.000 --> 02:00:27.720
Spoiler as well now, on the counter

02:00:27.720 --> 02:00:28.920
and the opposite side of that,

02:00:28.920 --> 02:00:30.240
it'll be playing inside of Jim,

02:00:30.240 --> 02:00:32.040
but he's got much more to play with.

02:00:33.120 --> 02:00:35.400
He's got three Keybuzz to play with right now.

02:00:36.640 --> 02:00:38.800
No new jammers, no Mazi pests.

02:00:38.800 --> 02:00:41.760
When they see that Keeba, they know someone is going to be in chip.

02:00:41.760 --> 02:00:43.080
He's not without support.

02:00:43.080 --> 02:00:46.880
Canadian ambi, fighting some support from logistics and bedroom.

02:00:46.880 --> 02:00:47.880
Spoigt is not alone.

02:00:47.880 --> 02:00:53.080
In the tournament he's been having, maybe not the most recent success with ambi, topping

02:00:53.080 --> 02:00:54.080
the chart.

02:00:54.080 --> 02:00:58.600
Spoigt has been unbelievable in phase one and two.

02:00:58.600 --> 02:00:59.600
Unbelievable this tournament.

02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:01.800
And now, he's in a difficult spot.

02:01:01.800 --> 02:01:06.560
Azami can be really good to play your life, but the more attackers start dropping down

02:01:06.560 --> 02:01:11.160
on to jacuzzi balcony, the more kiba's spoit has to expend, he's got to be careful with

02:01:11.160 --> 02:01:13.560
that hatch, that rotate hole isn't too far away.

02:01:13.560 --> 02:01:18.280
Half the rounds they've gone at this point, don't be called goes out, but more time by

02:01:18.280 --> 02:01:19.280
twisted mines being wasted.

02:01:19.280 --> 02:01:24.640
They try to get aggressive, try to hit the site, surf ready for it, the rebellion not

02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:27.240
leaving anything unchecked right now.

02:01:27.240 --> 02:01:35.280
A minute and 45 seconds, twisted mines have spent focusing on this room, and the only

02:01:35.280 --> 02:01:40.280
The only guy who's entered the building was on the opposite side of the map.

02:01:40.280 --> 02:01:47.280
We are now at two minutes spent trying to clear out this throne.

02:01:47.280 --> 02:02:01.280
And the best we get is a 5v1 and a 4v0.

02:02:01.280 --> 02:02:05.280
really getting dragged into the minigames that the rebellion I wanted to bring here.

02:02:05.280 --> 02:02:09.280
Spoiler attracting a lot of attention over in gym.

02:02:09.280 --> 02:02:14.280
Keeper barricades, support from Canadian and Namby.

02:02:14.280 --> 02:02:18.280
It doesn't matter. You can't root them out there, you've got to go elsewhere.

02:02:18.280 --> 02:02:21.280
I was gobsmacked to not see when somebody get onto gym window.

02:02:21.280 --> 02:02:23.280
Any window, any window really.

02:02:23.280 --> 02:02:25.280
It was just so passive from Twisted Minds.

02:02:25.280 --> 02:02:30.280
They're being given problems at the moment that they are not able to adapt quick enough to solve.

02:02:30.280 --> 02:02:34.280
And again, it floods into, you look back toward the bands.

02:02:34.280 --> 02:02:35.280
What's banned?

02:02:35.280 --> 02:02:36.280
Capitana Grimm.

02:02:36.280 --> 02:02:39.280
What would you love to get rid of Spoy playing inside a gym?

02:02:39.280 --> 02:02:43.280
Can you imagine just literally one firebolt going into gym?

02:02:43.280 --> 02:02:45.280
Oh, and then he just goes down the hatch.

02:02:45.280 --> 02:02:48.280
That round probably doesn't happen if you literally just have one.

02:02:48.280 --> 02:02:51.280
The fact that those two aren't in play, though, isn't the end all.

02:02:51.280 --> 02:02:54.280
There are still plenty of ways that you can deal with Spoy in that position.

02:02:54.280 --> 02:02:57.280
And Twisted Mind is just being a little bit too one-dimensional at the moment

02:02:57.280 --> 02:02:59.280
when they're trying to find those out.

02:02:59.280 --> 02:03:04.380
those out. We're gonna see a full site rotation here from the rebellion. Back

02:03:04.380 --> 02:03:07.560
downstairs we go. We're not giving another go up in Jim and Bertram just yet.

02:03:07.560 --> 02:03:13.200
The light would come at round five. We're gonna have another go downstairs.

02:03:13.200 --> 02:03:16.800
Especially while they've still got some decent tools at their disposal. The Goyo

02:03:16.800 --> 02:03:23.420
Pulse still in play here along with that Echo. His army now being taken out of the

02:03:23.420 --> 02:03:29.420
not that big a deal, but often for this downstairs hole, we need to see a feature in round one.

02:03:29.420 --> 02:03:31.420
But equally, we've not got the Clutch either this time.

02:03:31.420 --> 02:03:36.420
And that was quite a big success for the Rebellion in the way that they wanted to try and play.

02:03:36.420 --> 02:03:40.420
And I think to understand like why the Rebellion are moving the way they are,

02:03:40.420 --> 02:03:45.420
we've seen quite a few lurks be hit by twisted mines, really over the course of Salt Lake City.

02:03:45.420 --> 02:03:48.420
But over the course of Clutch specifically, we've seen players try to go up-gen,

02:03:48.420 --> 02:03:51.420
try to hop into the flat wall breach.

02:03:51.420 --> 02:03:55.420
And so when the Azami's down and he dropped the clash, what do we see come in turn?

02:03:55.420 --> 02:04:01.420
We've got the F-Miles. We've got the Fenrir's who can stop that generator, can hold these different positions.

02:04:01.420 --> 02:04:07.420
You can't really do the same projectile denial with the strat, Twisted Mind's literally just by sheer numbers can overcome that with this lineup.

02:04:07.420 --> 02:04:18.420
So Rebellion said moving to counter more directly, Twisted Mind's style, guards moving up the red stairs going for a massive full clear of which there is nobody for Rebellion present.

02:04:18.420 --> 02:04:20.420
It's a massive bait at the moment.

02:04:20.420 --> 02:04:23.420
So it's been on a little marathon of that top floor

02:04:23.420 --> 02:04:25.420
and placed a load of mute jammers all over the place.

02:04:25.420 --> 02:04:26.420
So what happens in the prep phase?

02:04:26.420 --> 02:04:28.420
Well, you set some pre-placed drones on that top floor

02:04:28.420 --> 02:04:30.420
and you see some mute jammers, and then you go,

02:04:30.420 --> 02:04:32.420
they must be holding upstairs.

02:04:33.420 --> 02:04:35.420
Spoiler alert, everyone's in the basement.

02:04:35.420 --> 02:04:37.420
There's nobody upstairs.

02:04:37.420 --> 02:04:38.420
There's nobody upstairs.

02:04:38.420 --> 02:04:41.420
And very quickly Twisted Minds have learned that,

02:04:41.420 --> 02:04:43.420
but it has already burnt the first hit

02:04:43.420 --> 02:04:45.420
and for a team that we know has struggled a little bit

02:04:45.420 --> 02:04:47.420
under the clock, not only in this map, but the last as well.

02:04:47.420 --> 02:04:50.660
Well, that's a win at the moment for the rebellion.

02:04:50.660 --> 02:04:53.260
They're going to be pretty happy savaging in that side,

02:04:53.260 --> 02:04:55.740
knowing, well, we gave it a good shot.

02:04:55.740 --> 02:04:57.900
We've bantered our own presence,

02:04:57.900 --> 02:04:59.660
and now they've wasted a good portion of time

02:04:59.660 --> 02:05:01.180
looking at the utility.

02:05:01.180 --> 02:05:03.420
But this is where the Ram really starts to get going,

02:05:03.420 --> 02:05:06.020
especially with the shot on that Ram.

02:05:06.020 --> 02:05:08.860
We saw the value out of the Ram inside of Ram 1.

02:05:08.860 --> 02:05:11.620
Kitchen floor did not exist.

02:05:11.620 --> 02:05:13.660
It was a very dangerous position to play in.

02:05:14.780 --> 02:05:17.100
Same can be said here for Kitchen corridor.

02:05:17.100 --> 02:05:19.100
All of that has been opened up as well.

02:05:20.900 --> 02:05:25.500
F-NOT being triggered, another slow mine, slow mine, slow loud from Twisted Mines.

02:05:26.500 --> 02:05:28.000
Why do you have the utility to compensate for that though?

02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:29.500
It's all from Scanners, Candela's.

02:05:29.900 --> 02:05:31.700
Just trying to get a little bit more utility.

02:05:31.700 --> 02:05:33.300
Good fight by Twisted Mines, in fact.

02:05:33.900 --> 02:05:35.200
But still looking for a kill.

02:05:36.200 --> 02:05:36.900
The Shone.

02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:38.800
Moving down, Moto Hats.

02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:40.200
Spot the Ocypher as Troubles.

02:05:40.200 --> 02:05:41.000
You'll take that.

02:05:41.500 --> 02:05:42.900
Player's playing aggro on the doorway.

02:05:42.900 --> 02:05:44.500
There is an F-NOT in here as well.

02:05:44.500 --> 02:05:46.200
More information being gathered.

02:05:46.200 --> 02:05:52.680
Five Shopify Rebellion, yokai number two, making its way, anticipating a plant over an arsenal,

02:05:52.680 --> 02:05:57.640
Bars putting it down, just creeping on in, gets in the right spot, but through ash wall,

02:05:57.640 --> 02:06:01.000
nobody expected it to go down in the opposition.

02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:06.800
It's a quick trade, neither side with a clear lead in terms of kills, but Twisted Minds now are treating to their positions.

02:06:06.800 --> 02:06:13.320
The catch open, the floor decimated, Twisted Minds have more vertical angles than they know what to do with.

02:06:13.320 --> 02:06:18.680
Rebellion now with half the post-plant gone as well. Still struggling to come up with an idea for this retake

02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:22.000
Spots one that's an easy kill

02:06:22.000 --> 02:06:27.200
Kaden have gone to the views and he's trying to defend his IGL his leader the best he can

02:06:28.200 --> 02:06:30.800
But again when the floor is all but gone

02:06:31.480 --> 02:06:33.680
What else is Ambi to do?

02:06:34.520 --> 02:06:38.280
Back and forth on clubhouse twisted mines tie the game

02:06:38.280 --> 02:06:43.280
the game. Massive impact there

02:06:43.280 --> 02:06:44.280
from twisted minds. We know

02:06:44.280 --> 02:06:45.280
that we're going to play the

02:06:45.280 --> 02:06:46.280
ram. We know they're going to

02:06:46.280 --> 02:06:47.280
open that kitchen floor open

02:06:47.280 --> 02:06:48.280
up entirely. So where's the

02:06:48.280 --> 02:06:50.280
best place to plant bang

02:06:50.280 --> 02:06:51.280
straight through ashore spot

02:06:51.280 --> 02:06:53.280
and just get it down there. It

02:06:53.280 --> 02:06:54.280
could be very easily held from

02:06:54.280 --> 02:06:56.280
upstairs. Kitchen hatches open.

02:06:56.280 --> 02:06:57.280
Defenders are going to be very

02:06:57.280 --> 02:06:59.280
reluctant to make that journey

02:06:59.280 --> 02:07:02.280
all the way back to the side of

02:07:02.280 --> 02:07:04.280
Arsenal. He nine did his job and

02:07:04.280 --> 02:07:06.280
more barbed wire. It was placed

02:07:06.280 --> 02:07:10.320
a bit further up. Maybe you

02:07:10.380 --> 02:07:11.280
position really to play and

02:07:11.280 --> 02:07:13.320
actively able to watch it. But

02:07:13.320 --> 02:07:14.320
when you get the call with the

02:07:14.320 --> 02:07:15.320
plants coming down, kind of

02:07:15.320 --> 02:07:17.320
attention gets drawn elsewhere

02:07:17.320 --> 02:07:18.320
and you get split into a little

02:07:18.320 --> 02:07:20.320
bit just by responding with a

02:07:20.320 --> 02:07:22.320
round, leveling things up. Let's

02:07:22.320 --> 02:07:24.320
not forget around to in gym and

02:07:24.320 --> 02:07:26.320
bedroom as well. This was the

02:07:26.320 --> 02:07:28.320
site where we had a heavy

02:07:28.320 --> 02:07:30.320
extension over towards CC TV and

02:07:30.320 --> 02:07:32.320
cash with a lot of bandit play.

02:07:32.320 --> 02:07:33.320
That isn't a fact this time. It's

02:07:33.320 --> 02:07:35.320
going to be a motion like a hole

02:07:35.320 --> 02:07:38.680
hold in that area. And hey, they were great for clearing out

02:07:38.680 --> 02:07:43.480
CCTV and cash when the site was not CCTV and cash. Something

02:07:43.480 --> 02:07:48.280
about that overlap seemed to boggle twisted minds. Well, mine,

02:07:48.840 --> 02:07:53.500
better way of phrasing that probably. Now, if you look towards

02:07:53.500 --> 02:07:58.840
Jim Bedroom, they make an attempt, win this site a second

02:07:58.840 --> 02:08:02.040
go around, have to go against the clash, which we saw on the

02:08:02.040 --> 02:08:07.260
basement site but not on Jim Bedroom and to me this actually indicates you might

02:08:07.260 --> 02:08:11.060
see an even harder CCTV casual than we did before. It's got the same shield in

02:08:11.060 --> 02:08:15.300
ADS's but a clash during the mix. Yeah it's gonna be a contradiction in terms isn't it?

02:08:15.300 --> 02:08:19.260
It's a harder hole but it's a little bit more passive because Kady could take his

02:08:19.260 --> 02:08:22.780
utility within this time. He's not committing all that utility to the spot

02:08:22.780 --> 02:08:25.580
and then feeling like they have to play it for the duration of the round. I'm

02:08:25.580 --> 02:08:29.140
being a little bit of a different story. He will still have the ADS's but there's a nice

02:08:29.140 --> 02:08:35.140
The rest of the mission here, he's been given two this time, because one ADS just leapt onto the top step and didn't catch the Nade.

02:08:35.140 --> 02:08:40.140
The Nade could destroy the shield and the ADS, and that was kind of the first undoing of this whole.

02:08:40.140 --> 02:08:47.140
The Twisted Mind is going to need to burn a little bit more in that area this time, but they've got plenty of means in doing so.

02:08:47.140 --> 02:08:50.140
It's all going to be about getting the minute and getting boots on the ground.

02:08:50.140 --> 02:08:54.140
P9 will be starting his approach, he walks up these garage stairs.

02:08:54.140 --> 02:08:57.020
Guys, that was more soft, that shook him an invocational way.

02:08:57.020 --> 02:08:59.420
See, Canadian, if not, Selma will certainly do.

02:08:59.420 --> 02:09:02.980
As you can tell, the heat inside's arising around me.

02:09:02.980 --> 02:09:04.820
He just gets caught, look at me in the wailing!

02:09:04.820 --> 02:09:07.820
Oh, God! He just walks up the stairs and takes him out!

02:09:07.820 --> 02:09:12.220
The heat is on, and Canadian's gonna get burned alive by twisted minds.

02:09:12.220 --> 02:09:14.820
Gun to the head, a couple shots.

02:09:14.820 --> 02:09:18.060
We'll do in both the young gun and the IGL's.

02:09:18.060 --> 02:09:20.660
Spoight, not long for this world either.

02:09:20.660 --> 02:09:25.660
the game. And now, it's

02:09:25.660 --> 02:09:28.660
a little bit of a mix in both

02:09:28.660 --> 02:09:30.660
falling to the 1812. Sir even

02:09:30.660 --> 02:09:32.660
sees the player on bedroom

02:09:32.660 --> 02:09:34.660
window, but that was a weird

02:09:34.660 --> 02:09:36.660
kill. It gets guards. But it

02:09:36.660 --> 02:09:38.660
basically means nothing. Twisted

02:09:38.660 --> 02:09:40.660
minds currently four to five in

02:09:40.660 --> 02:09:42.660
these opening duels and now

02:09:42.660 --> 02:09:46.660
three to two on rounds. God is

02:09:46.660 --> 02:09:49.660
lapping it up right now. Great

02:09:49.660 --> 02:09:53.420
There's been a big problem, a big problem for the rebellion at the moment.

02:09:53.420 --> 02:09:57.900
You don't think that I really enjoy, I enjoy how the rebellions set up the, not quite intricate,

02:09:57.900 --> 02:10:01.660
that they set up these nice holds and how they want to try and how they see the game playing out.

02:10:02.220 --> 02:10:04.620
God just picks a shield and just runs straight through all of it.

02:10:06.860 --> 02:10:13.420
Yeah, I, I have, okay, hold on. So here's my thing. Jump by rebellion, I like their game

02:10:13.420 --> 02:10:18.060
playing theory. They are giving these super complicated setups, right? We've got shields,

02:10:18.060 --> 02:10:21.740
We've got clashes, we've got ADS's, it's like 20-20 all over again.

02:10:23.100 --> 02:10:26.220
And to your point, Garth literally just runs straight through it,

02:10:26.220 --> 02:10:28.540
just runs up the stairs and Ambie's dead.

02:10:29.340 --> 02:10:31.980
We've basically seen this exact thing play out.

02:10:31.980 --> 02:10:35.900
Don't get me wrong, these setups have cost a lot of time for Twisted Minds.

02:10:35.900 --> 02:10:38.620
The opening engagement, that was the quickest one we've seen

02:10:38.620 --> 02:10:41.980
and it basically still happens at the halfway point of the round.

02:10:41.980 --> 02:10:47.340
It has taken almost 50% of each attack just for Twisted Minds to get the opening pick.

02:10:47.340 --> 02:10:50.740
Taking round four, it's still 38 seconds left.

02:10:50.740 --> 02:10:52.700
38 seconds before they got the opening pick.

02:10:52.700 --> 02:10:54.100
But what happened?

02:10:54.100 --> 02:10:55.840
They burned all the utility,

02:10:55.840 --> 02:10:57.700
and then they lurked up Generator.

02:10:57.700 --> 02:11:00.660
Down back to round two, they burned all the utility,

02:11:00.660 --> 02:11:03.660
and then they just pushed through the setup.

02:11:03.660 --> 02:11:05.500
Twisted Minds, if they had a reputation

02:11:05.500 --> 02:11:07.460
for struggling to solve problems,

02:11:07.460 --> 02:11:09.780
they either A, seem to be doing it just fine,

02:11:09.780 --> 02:11:11.980
even with their low time, or B,

02:11:11.980 --> 02:11:14.020
don't really care to solve the problem.

02:11:14.020 --> 02:11:24.020
I'm going to be no problem getting that wall open here in round six.

02:11:24.020 --> 02:11:26.020
Hibana sprites onto that case.

02:11:26.020 --> 02:11:31.020
He starts to cut a line immediately through with a bomb site.

02:11:31.020 --> 02:11:32.020
J-Lad.

02:11:32.020 --> 02:11:34.020
Bit of a danger man on there.

02:11:34.020 --> 02:11:36.020
A little bit of fire to here.

02:11:36.020 --> 02:11:40.020
I'm hitting a 4.5 KPR at the moment.

02:11:40.020 --> 02:11:45.020
Good info. Being gathered by Saff as well. He's got some brilliant Yokais out there.

02:11:45.020 --> 02:11:46.020
Oh!

02:11:46.020 --> 02:11:54.020
He finds himself in a bit of trouble with the hot water, throws some smoke on it and hopes that it's going to extinguish itself.

02:11:54.020 --> 02:11:57.020
Looks like he's been able to sneak himself away as well.

02:11:57.020 --> 02:12:04.020
Speaking of sneak, Andy literally slithering across swamp right now and guards just around the corner.

02:12:04.020 --> 02:12:07.020
A lot of attention being drawn by that yokai.

02:12:07.020 --> 02:12:10.020
Ambi, playing so passive.

02:12:10.020 --> 02:12:13.020
That lift was literally turned toward red stairs.

02:12:13.020 --> 02:12:16.020
Ambi had swung around, he could have got him in the back of the head.

02:12:16.020 --> 02:12:19.020
Instead, he is waiting so patiently.

02:12:19.020 --> 02:12:22.020
Now it's Rexon on rafters, drawing a lot of the attention.

02:12:22.020 --> 02:12:26.020
Ambi swings around, and that's what he was betting on.

02:12:26.020 --> 02:12:28.020
That twisted minds would get complacent that they wouldn't check,

02:12:28.020 --> 02:12:31.020
and he could swing around and take a fight through garage door

02:12:31.020 --> 02:12:35.520
and stay alive because the job is not to get an easy pick the job is to support

02:12:35.520 --> 02:12:41.640
Rexon however Andy can do that that is what he needs to do track by death mark

02:12:41.640 --> 02:12:46.220
rex and could be in a difficult spot guards now contemplating a rotate is

02:12:46.220 --> 02:12:49.500
it's a 3d file with a minute to go they've just not got the manpower to do

02:12:49.500 --> 02:12:52.580
what they usually do and just rock running through people starts needs

02:12:52.580 --> 02:12:55.940
someone on his shoulder and he's solo at the moment he knows Andy's position

02:12:55.940 --> 02:12:57.940
will surface down with the assassin.

02:12:57.940 --> 02:13:01.940
He's a thief, like, I'm not even needed!

02:13:01.940 --> 02:13:05.940
Oh, what do you even do? What do you even do?

02:13:05.940 --> 02:13:08.940
Trying to go for style points?

02:13:08.940 --> 02:13:12.940
He's afforded that courtesy in a 1v5.

02:13:12.940 --> 02:13:16.940
P9 has got his main sake and kills.

02:13:20.940 --> 02:13:23.940
It's about sending a message.

02:13:23.940 --> 02:13:30.660
It's about an IP9, even the most minimal of consolation prizes.

02:13:30.660 --> 02:13:40.340
Just as Twisted Mind string together two in a row, Shopify Rebellion, tie things up, two maps in a row.

02:13:40.340 --> 02:13:42.500
Where have we been here before?

02:13:42.500 --> 02:13:45.140
I'm going to tell you what I saw from them on their defenses.

02:13:45.140 --> 02:13:49.100
I want you to realize those attacks they just ran were exactly what we said.

02:13:49.100 --> 02:13:52.300
Okay, so I would expect these attacks to be very similar.

02:13:52.300 --> 02:13:55.100
Alright, for basement, they have a castle roam.

02:13:55.100 --> 02:13:58.260
If they don't have castle, he's gonna be Scopos, okay?

02:13:58.260 --> 02:14:00.020
He's gonna castle Main Stairs Window,

02:14:00.020 --> 02:14:04.500
Kitchen Hall, the B2 Door, the Pool Door, the Main Door.

02:14:04.500 --> 02:14:06.220
When I said the B2 Hall, I meant they're gonna put

02:14:06.220 --> 02:14:08.740
a BP-looking Kitchen Hall, okay?

02:14:08.740 --> 02:14:10.860
He plays in bar with the hatch open.

02:14:10.860 --> 02:14:13.940
A zombie from the castle strat will play in stock

02:14:13.940 --> 02:14:15.380
with the hatch open.

02:14:15.380 --> 02:14:17.860
He plays like weird Keebas, and you need to be careful

02:14:17.860 --> 02:14:19.620
of him running out of the stock door too.

02:14:19.620 --> 02:14:26.620
They play Goyo solo in site, he puts a Goyo in dirt but I didn't, his setup was long

02:14:26.620 --> 02:14:31.620
so I think you could scare him and just pop that because I didn't see him actually being able to start there.

02:14:31.620 --> 02:14:39.620
They play Ella Blue, lounge area, he can like run up and down and help above and Mute was playing above like Jib Masterside.

02:14:39.620 --> 02:14:42.620
If the yellow walks up, they'll use the jump.

02:15:09.620 --> 02:15:10.560
I swear.

02:15:10.560 --> 02:15:11.580
Great work.

02:15:11.580 --> 02:15:13.580
Remember to stay close to the cameras.

02:15:13.580 --> 02:15:15.560
They like the interpreters.

02:15:15.560 --> 02:15:16.720
Okay.

02:15:16.720 --> 02:15:19.560
Okay.

02:15:19.560 --> 02:15:21.560
Okay.

02:15:51.560 --> 02:15:59.720
3 3 half and now on Clubhouse the exact same story. They have not had a decisive series

02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:05.000
unfortunately Ali nothing remotely close to that G2 game yesterday twisted minds continue to surprise

02:16:05.000 --> 02:16:12.120
us but the rebellion by the same token continue to fight as hard as they can. The teammates worked

02:16:12.120 --> 02:16:18.520
for it today. They got a bit of a free lunch yesterday against G2 and as you all know there is no

02:16:18.520 --> 02:16:25.000
thing as a free lunch they are paying for it here against twisted mines another map where we go 33 at the side swap

02:16:30.320 --> 02:16:33.000
I did not be frambi it would be the 14

02:16:34.560 --> 02:16:38.760
Well, I mean that's just insane hit fire headshot on with a blitz

02:16:41.560 --> 02:16:47.820
Objectively funny from rexen. See how many magnets where Ambi's life is surrounded Ambi's body there just trying to catch any name

02:16:48.520 --> 02:16:53.280
You just you see the Nate bounce and just rexing with the quickest flick. It's like I and no thank you

02:16:53.680 --> 02:16:55.680
They'd be I'm still got credit with the kids

02:16:56.440 --> 02:16:58.440
Well, they look up the downmourning so

02:16:59.560 --> 02:17:01.560
But a lot funnier people

02:17:01.600 --> 02:17:05.580
Quick and mines now starting off church and arsenal

02:17:06.280 --> 02:17:08.280
No primary site for the clubhouse

02:17:08.280 --> 02:17:14.520
Defenses didn't see basically any Rome whatsoever from the rebellion on this site both times

02:17:14.520 --> 02:17:19.320
they played it they were basically playing as much on-site utility as you could imagine here

02:17:19.880 --> 02:17:25.640
Jlan is on solos and guards on Ella on the second floor in the first minute of the round. Maybe they'll fall back

02:17:26.360 --> 02:17:33.480
I don't think they're falling back. It's a polar opposite isn't it and I think it's the clash of play styles that we have with these two opponents right now

02:17:33.880 --> 02:17:38.440
On the one side we've got twisted mines that are happy to throw cautions to the wind and to play in this aggressive manner

02:17:38.520 --> 02:17:42.840
I don't even think we saw a single defender inside a strip the whole defense long for the rebellion

02:17:42.840 --> 02:17:49.140
And already we've got G9 hanging around the down the skull post and Sean harassing here at the top of garage storage

02:17:50.280 --> 02:17:53.480
Rebellion are gonna have the work quite out for them here, and they've switched some tools around

02:17:54.200 --> 02:17:57.560
They were claiming to bring the daemons a little bit earlier on. Daemons for a snake

02:17:57.560 --> 02:18:01.320
It'd have been fantastic here. Let's try and pin some of these players down because in a minute

02:18:01.320 --> 02:18:05.240
They've not really got anything besides some lion. We'll need to gather some information first

02:18:05.240 --> 02:18:12.240
We got her just a little bit, but it's on a player inside a site moving around dirt.

02:18:12.240 --> 02:18:16.240
More immediate issues finding us is on me who will make herself scarce.

02:18:16.240 --> 02:18:20.240
Used a lot of Keebas though. I think that's around three that she might have used on that window.

02:18:20.240 --> 02:18:25.240
And you don't need a lot to bolster Arsenal, but you need to make sure you have enough.

02:18:25.240 --> 02:18:28.240
And so one thing I'm a little concerned about going down while that's wasted the first minute.

02:18:28.240 --> 02:18:33.440
First minute show might be light on resources depending on what the rebellion have they do have three more nades

02:18:33.440 --> 02:18:38.040
For example and a dmr. If he was Mike it's shot the site might be softened up a little bit

02:18:38.040 --> 02:18:42.260
So how's it a minute though and there I was about to say Jay lad making himself known

02:18:42.280 --> 02:18:47.720
Well, tag up and be from the second time this round. He makes his way back this position him from jail. That's perfect

02:18:47.720 --> 02:18:49.200
He knows that I'm dropped

02:18:49.200 --> 02:18:51.200
God is coming into the party as well

02:18:51.200 --> 02:18:55.840
There's two players around the corner because that's to try and deal with now the need to isolate him

02:18:55.840 --> 02:18:58.840
The throw-off of Flashbang tried to ward him off.

02:18:58.840 --> 02:19:01.840
The barbed wire of a train guards a little bit on that flank.

02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:04.840
Spotted by DE-1Ds, they got the confirmation.

02:19:04.840 --> 02:19:06.840
But again, not in a great spot to finish him off.

02:19:06.840 --> 02:19:09.840
Rebellion, that was about to save, don't have a lot, but...

02:19:09.840 --> 02:19:12.840
Canadian and spoilt are literally at the door to site.

02:19:12.840 --> 02:19:14.840
They have walked up dirt.

02:19:14.840 --> 02:19:17.840
Spoilt with a long angle looking through these smoke grenades,

02:19:17.840 --> 02:19:20.840
but not a single twisted mind-player is peeking.

02:19:20.840 --> 02:19:24.840
Ambi's affecting Lurk down blue for two minutes now,

02:19:24.840 --> 02:19:26.580
But there's three players around the corner.

02:19:26.580 --> 02:19:27.920
Surely somebody's watching.

02:19:27.920 --> 02:19:28.960
Yes, they are.

02:19:28.960 --> 02:19:30.520
Turn their back to the air tap.

02:19:30.520 --> 02:19:32.760
We'll end up knocking Ruckson back up blue,

02:19:32.760 --> 02:19:36.000
but Tricks and a show of ready for it.

02:19:36.000 --> 02:19:40.120
Surf into 1v5 as Shopify Rebellion's attempt

02:19:40.120 --> 02:19:44.560
to quickly pierce the site is repelled by Twisted Minds.

02:19:44.560 --> 02:19:47.520
Shopify Rebellion never had a handle on that round.

02:19:48.960 --> 02:19:50.480
Not at all.

02:19:50.480 --> 02:19:53.000
Twisted Minds running roughshod all over him.

02:19:53.000 --> 02:19:54.680
A run game that was never dealt with.

02:19:54.680 --> 02:20:00.720
Lurkers that were allowed to rotate back and come down oil and having a huge impact in the later portion of the round

02:20:00.720 --> 02:20:03.940
And then we've got Canadian and sport just they didn't get the memo

02:20:03.940 --> 02:20:07.300
They didn't get the brief already making the way through into sight from dirt

02:20:08.680 --> 02:20:10.680
It's called kitchen dirt for a reason

02:20:14.240 --> 02:20:21.620
Oh, you need play I was gonna say for chef our billions blue dirt blue position that really seemed to travel

02:20:21.620 --> 02:20:24.380
But when Blues reinforce, Gluta isn't very good either.

02:20:24.380 --> 02:20:27.100
Because there's still such a decent between the two.

02:20:27.100 --> 02:20:30.500
When there's so many reinforcements in Blue,

02:20:30.500 --> 02:20:33.100
there's also three guys in Blue.

02:20:33.100 --> 02:20:35.260
And you're only two guys pushing down Blue.

02:20:35.260 --> 02:20:38.060
It's not a great recipe, unfortunately.

02:20:38.060 --> 02:20:39.140
Shotfire, Vellion,

02:20:39.140 --> 02:20:40.900
Boltering in the first round,

02:20:40.900 --> 02:20:43.100
only one lead for Twisted Minds.

02:20:43.100 --> 02:20:44.460
Also going over to Jim Bedrink,

02:20:44.460 --> 02:20:46.620
copying Rebellion's rotation so far.

02:20:47.780 --> 02:20:50.380
And continuing to show some marked defenses

02:20:50.380 --> 02:20:58.860
from their opponents. I believe we didn't see a single meter or a castle for that matter.

02:21:00.060 --> 02:21:04.620
Now we'll see both brought out in round 8 by Twisted Mines. Whoa, fortified!

02:21:06.220 --> 02:21:10.140
You need a little bit more difficult for Twisted Mines to play in the same manner

02:21:10.140 --> 02:21:15.660
that they played on basement on other sites. They're not afforded the same level of flexibility.

02:21:15.660 --> 02:21:22.620
Roman downstairs really has the same sting as hiding around upstairs and rotating back down later on.

02:21:22.620 --> 02:21:27.920
See, they're all going to be a little bit more condensed just through the nature of the side choices here for the next couple of rounds.

02:21:27.920 --> 02:21:32.420
J-Lap, fairly happy to sort of aggressively challenge on block.

02:21:32.420 --> 02:21:38.260
He knows as well as anyone that with that wall getting open, he stays inside of garage side, he's going to be cut off.

02:21:38.260 --> 02:21:43.980
Some good shoving around for the rebellion to be able to do inside of these first 50 seconds.

02:21:43.980 --> 02:21:52.180
Getting rid of some of the players on this extension. Still gonna have a shot and co to deal with their guards as well playing on that radio door

02:21:53.180 --> 02:21:58.620
This fall reinforced it will take pocket reinforcement to make that line of sight to open things up

02:22:00.620 --> 02:22:05.020
Tarves has been mentioned the best offensive player for twisted minds throughout this tournament

02:22:05.020 --> 02:22:08.700
He's already got one looking for a second and play him around the corner

02:22:08.700 --> 02:22:14.900
The shot by rebellion closing in him and P9 tried their best to hold off this attack and doing it expertly

02:22:15.460 --> 02:22:17.460
Guards is not giving up this position

02:22:18.220 --> 02:22:23.060
Pated around the corner of the shotgun a must win fight and Jayla had flaky up red stairs

02:22:24.140 --> 02:22:28.260
Saves guards his life and now split only half the round in

02:22:30.140 --> 02:22:32.140
1v3

02:22:32.260 --> 02:22:36.540
Crossfire holding this diffuser and twisted mines a

02:22:36.540 --> 02:22:42.740
a stack up high low angle to win two in a row on defense.

02:22:42.740 --> 02:22:48.380
So it's the minds happy to transition as much of this chaos across as possible.

02:22:48.380 --> 02:22:52.460
Keeping a really good tight hold upstairs there.

02:22:52.460 --> 02:22:53.820
Okay guys, can you hear me?

02:22:53.820 --> 02:22:56.180
Okay, these guys are doing what we talked about.

02:22:56.180 --> 02:22:58.260
I think what Richie said is exactly right.

02:22:58.260 --> 02:23:01.100
Like you guys know they're going to swing us right?

02:23:01.100 --> 02:23:04.140
That we need to make sure that we're calling what we're holding, what we're not holding

02:23:04.140 --> 02:23:09.140
and that we're seeking up when we push and that when we do push we're following through with what we push, okay?

02:23:09.140 --> 02:23:14.220
Yeah, I'll be on the same page and fight together for this cashier

02:23:14.220 --> 02:23:19.340
They like to do a zombie and Jaeger rafter and they like to do castle and lounge. Okay. Okay

02:23:20.620 --> 02:23:24.820
We're in fine positions. We're just not coordinating this shit. Okay, we're getting them moving

02:23:24.820 --> 02:23:28.740
You're getting opportunities to kill them. Okay, we just need to make sure that we're trading down

02:23:28.740 --> 02:23:33.060
That's the biggest thing you're catching us off by swinging and we're not getting trades. Okay, right there

02:23:33.060 --> 02:23:33.900
Let's go.

02:23:33.900 --> 02:23:34.720
Let's go.

02:23:34.720 --> 02:23:35.560
Let's go.

02:23:35.560 --> 02:23:36.900
Please everyone.

02:23:36.900 --> 02:23:37.800
If you need something, say it.

02:23:37.800 --> 02:23:39.500
Remember, like, any way to help.

02:23:43.000 --> 02:23:46.980
It was not shown on stream, but I thought I'd read a message

02:23:46.980 --> 02:23:47.980
from guards.

02:23:47.980 --> 02:23:49.460
Salt Lake City.

02:23:49.460 --> 02:23:52.800
Guards in chat said, hey guys, I have a great idea.

02:23:52.800 --> 02:23:54.620
Let's push it five seconds remaining,

02:23:54.620 --> 02:23:57.020
instead of 10 seconds remaining.

02:23:57.020 --> 02:24:00.380
Clearly, unhappy with the pace of rebellion's attacks.

02:24:00.380 --> 02:24:01.860
Do you think shop of fine rebellion

02:24:01.860 --> 02:24:14.660
pick things up. Do you think they have a few more rounds in them to come back on Clubhouse?

02:24:14.660 --> 02:24:22.340
The crowd seems to believe now rebellion just need to make good on that faith on that promise.

02:24:22.340 --> 02:24:27.700
They're up 1-0 in the series but twisted minds up 2 rounds on Clubhouse. And if this

02:24:27.700 --> 02:24:31.700
This tech timeout doesn't work Ali, I don't know what else might.

02:24:31.700 --> 02:24:35.700
Super statistical timeouts have been very effective throughout the course of the tournament,

02:24:35.700 --> 02:24:37.700
so you would expect them to be good for a round.

02:24:37.700 --> 02:24:40.700
It's never reinventing the wheel, it's just pointing gal.

02:24:40.700 --> 02:24:43.700
Obvious things that need serious attention.

02:24:43.700 --> 02:24:48.700
And for that particular timeout, a lot of focus on 3-2-1's and what are we pushing.

02:24:48.700 --> 02:24:49.700
Make sure that we're working together.

02:24:49.700 --> 02:24:52.700
They know that Twisted Mines are going to swing, they know that they're happy to regress.

02:24:52.700 --> 02:24:55.700
You're never going to be digging them out of a power position.

02:24:55.700 --> 02:24:57.700
You just need to work together on them.

02:24:57.700 --> 02:25:00.700
Very similar to the time that he gave over on where,

02:25:00.700 --> 02:25:02.700
and look at how that map ended.

02:25:02.700 --> 02:25:04.700
Different landscape here in the Twisted Mines

02:25:04.700 --> 02:25:08.700
have now a two-round advantage at the moment over the Rebellion.

02:25:08.700 --> 02:25:11.700
This starts to become a bit of a must-win round.

02:25:11.700 --> 02:25:14.700
The Twisted Mines are going to believe it when they get onto that series point.

02:25:14.700 --> 02:25:16.700
They are going to be thirsting for it.

02:25:16.700 --> 02:25:20.700
They'll be hungry to close out this map to bring us to Fortress.

02:25:20.700 --> 02:25:27.060
Just catching her shome inside of B1 but not able to confirm the kill by St. Token not dying response

02:25:27.060 --> 02:25:33.120
She'll rough map so far one and four when guards in five P9 11 and four

02:25:33.780 --> 02:25:37.580
Two of the three players we have seen lead the way for twisted minds this tournament

02:25:37.580 --> 02:25:44.100
You can afford to drop off a little bit by St. Token for shop power belly and amy the only player positive at eight and seven and

02:25:44.100 --> 02:25:51.680
And SPOIT, who we saw moving about strip at the beginning of this round, faces an early exit trying to work up main stairs.

02:25:51.680 --> 02:25:58.600
Canadian, seeking to deploy some powerful utility over by rafters, puts you below 58p.

02:25:58.600 --> 02:26:03.400
Dandell has hit P9 and serve hits him in the face with a well-placed DMR shot.

02:26:03.400 --> 02:26:08.400
Canadian now turning his attention to the default camera as garage cleared in the first half of round nine.

02:26:08.400 --> 02:26:12.400
A heavy stack of a play has twisted minds at the moment in and around my cash position.

02:26:12.400 --> 02:26:15.840
We've got God's Hashem and Tricks all in that area.

02:26:15.840 --> 02:26:18.120
Obviously very cautious for a bit of a walk up.

02:26:18.120 --> 02:26:20.000
But look at this, dealing with the problem.

02:26:20.000 --> 02:26:21.440
Head down, rexing.

02:26:21.440 --> 02:26:22.960
Good for the kill on Hashem.

02:26:22.960 --> 02:26:25.400
Isn't going to be able to stop the trade from happening though.

02:26:25.400 --> 02:26:27.040
That's good, they can trade that body

02:26:27.040 --> 02:26:30.000
and it's working exactly as Super said in the timeout.

02:26:32.000 --> 02:26:34.760
Going very well for the rebellion, but still a minute to go.

02:26:35.680 --> 02:26:37.920
Raxen's made his way up Raptors.

02:26:37.920 --> 02:26:40.800
Surf with a cutoff angle on the right wall.

02:26:40.800 --> 02:26:44.400
And he can provide some support from CCTV window.

02:26:44.400 --> 02:26:47.400
This diffuser's got to go down, and if it does,

02:26:47.400 --> 02:26:50.600
there are two C4s on twisted mines.

02:26:50.600 --> 02:26:52.000
They might go below.

02:26:52.000 --> 02:26:53.600
They might stay on the same floor.

02:26:53.600 --> 02:26:57.800
J-Lad concerning himself with the player outside a construction window

02:26:57.800 --> 02:26:59.400
ends up going down in the process.

02:26:59.400 --> 02:27:01.400
The other C4? It goes wide.

02:27:01.400 --> 02:27:02.400
Not a factor.

02:27:02.400 --> 02:27:06.200
And he finishes off J-Lad, and our Ruxen looks to move us into the post.

02:27:06.200 --> 02:27:07.600
Guard cannot much to do.

02:27:07.600 --> 02:27:14.600
Why don't you try and make the cross, but sir, the long angle cuts him down and now flashbang.

02:27:14.600 --> 02:27:20.600
Taking away guards as vision. The best player for Twisted Mind's defense.

02:27:20.600 --> 02:27:28.600
Unknown quantity by ambi. Needs three kills and only 20 seconds to do it.

02:27:28.600 --> 02:27:33.600
Surrounded on all sides, put to one HP. Guards!

02:27:33.600 --> 02:27:40.560
After Shopify Rebellion's tactical timeout will be the first to fall.

02:27:41.600 --> 02:27:45.600
SR just leaving a small reminder there about how they need to work as a team.

02:27:46.640 --> 02:27:49.200
Everything that they did in that round they did together.

02:27:49.200 --> 02:27:50.640
The cross was perfect.

02:27:50.640 --> 02:27:53.040
Rexon, save as ours is getting that plant down.

02:27:53.040 --> 02:27:54.800
Surfer one side, ambi on another.

02:27:56.240 --> 02:27:58.800
Is there a better sandwich to plant in between than that?

02:27:58.800 --> 02:28:02.000
Especially with the way we've seen both of them play so far.

02:28:02.000 --> 02:28:08.200
It is going to shorten the lead that Twisted Byons have at the moment in this series.

02:28:08.200 --> 02:28:12.800
Go to a 5-4 at round 10.

02:28:12.800 --> 02:28:17.620
With that level of teamwork, that might be enough to bring SR back into contention.

02:28:17.620 --> 02:28:21.280
Level things up at 5-5 and look to go forward from there.

02:28:21.280 --> 02:28:28.760
It's the kind of thing we need to see, especially working a 3v3, not a 5v4, not a 5v3, but a

02:28:28.760 --> 02:28:31.920
complete man equilibrium between the two teams.

02:28:32.960 --> 02:28:35.040
Ready for JLAD swinging out a construction window,

02:28:35.040 --> 02:28:36.900
ready for a player retaking a cross-plat,

02:28:36.900 --> 02:28:38.800
surfing particular on that last point,

02:28:38.800 --> 02:28:41.120
really effective for the final two kills.

02:28:41.120 --> 02:28:42.920
Jopf Firebelli, and I haven't tied the game yet,

02:28:42.920 --> 02:28:45.920
but they have done half of the job necessary to get there.

02:28:48.560 --> 02:28:50.960
By downstairs, this is gonna be the danger site.

02:28:53.560 --> 02:28:56.520
There is gonna be any inkling all the way,

02:28:56.520 --> 02:28:58.640
it needs to be thoroughly dealt with.

02:28:58.640 --> 02:29:02.360
And we need mind counts, we need to know where people are.

02:29:03.920 --> 02:29:06.720
With the lineup that we've got, it's a little bit less clear.

02:29:06.720 --> 02:29:07.800
And show them ACOG.

02:29:07.800 --> 02:29:09.480
Oh, no ACOG.

02:29:09.480 --> 02:29:10.600
Call me shocked.

02:29:10.600 --> 02:29:11.440
MPS?

02:29:12.800 --> 02:29:14.120
Oh.

02:29:14.120 --> 02:29:15.560
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

02:29:15.560 --> 02:29:16.840
He hit the DMR, buddy, something.

02:29:16.840 --> 02:29:19.360
The second time, he has just tagged Andy

02:29:19.360 --> 02:29:21.400
out of spawn when peeking secret window.

02:29:22.280 --> 02:29:25.200
Not a player learning from their past engagements.

02:29:25.200 --> 02:29:27.120
Same thing happening on the second attempt

02:29:27.120 --> 02:29:28.280
of church in Archimel.

02:29:28.280 --> 02:29:29.280
I'll be it, to be fair.

02:29:29.280 --> 02:29:30.280
Rebounded, cover him.

02:29:30.280 --> 02:29:31.280
Many differences beyond that.

02:29:31.280 --> 02:29:33.280
Noah Zali, she's been banned.

02:29:33.280 --> 02:29:35.280
Michele moves down very quickly.

02:29:35.280 --> 02:29:38.280
He stayed in secret for a few minutes last time.

02:29:38.280 --> 02:29:40.280
Now rejoining his teammates on the site.

02:29:40.280 --> 02:29:44.280
It really doesn't seem like anybody from Twisted Minds is rolling right now.

02:29:44.280 --> 02:29:48.280
Saving for maybe one player I think over by Main Stairs.

02:29:48.280 --> 02:29:51.280
It shouldn't take too long for us all to get that information

02:29:51.280 --> 02:29:53.280
and to fully understand that.

02:29:53.280 --> 02:29:54.280
And be playing on Daymos.

02:29:54.280 --> 02:29:57.280
He is going to be able to deathmark track people this round.

02:29:57.280 --> 02:30:01.680
is clear and it's already started. Targeting Hasham on that two brown.

02:30:01.680 --> 02:30:04.640
Seeing if we can just try and pick one out of the herd.

02:30:04.640 --> 02:30:08.640
Guards, this is a brilliant off position. No one is really going to be expecting

02:30:08.640 --> 02:30:13.840
you to play there, although Rexon's angle says otherwise.

02:30:13.840 --> 02:30:18.880
Just giving it a little bit of courtesy. Thinking he might see somebody flanking up

02:30:18.880 --> 02:30:23.360
oil pit. Won't find anybody today. Four players

02:30:23.360 --> 02:30:25.360
marked on Deimos' scanner.

02:30:25.360 --> 02:30:29.360
One of them being Hoshom, who we saw at the beginning of this round, going for a spawn puke.

02:30:30.360 --> 02:30:37.360
This deathmark tracker doesn't seem like you'll have a whole lot of use until the execute spade, with nobody from Twisted Minds

02:30:37.360 --> 02:30:43.360
threatening the mid-round, aside from anything but a C4, which, to be fair, Ali, they have four of them on the defense.

02:30:43.360 --> 02:30:46.360
Their greater concern might be utility from below, rather than a flanker.

02:30:46.360 --> 02:30:48.360
There's still quite a lot of utility cover here.

02:30:48.360 --> 02:30:52.360
We've got the ADS' guard to still harass him in his position there on Generator.

02:30:52.360 --> 02:30:54.360
generator it was a direct

02:30:55.240 --> 02:30:59.920
They're gonna need to be dealt with because a lot of these throwballs are gonna get wrapped up if they're not too careful

02:31:00.360 --> 02:31:03.680
Hatch and kitchen also something that needs to be the best great tension

02:31:03.680 --> 02:31:09.360
And it's really on Rex nor ambitiating to position to try and make that happen with the instruction of the sense into the lineup

02:31:09.360 --> 02:31:14.880
You're expecting something inside a church here. That's where the plant is most likely going to go down

02:31:14.880 --> 02:31:16.880
Oh, Canadian.

02:31:16.880 --> 02:31:18.880
Slowed inside of dirt.

02:31:18.880 --> 02:31:20.880
Has shown them swings around the corner.

02:31:20.880 --> 02:31:22.880
Another key operator for the Rebellion.

02:31:22.880 --> 02:31:27.880
Taken down before it can see its full potential.

02:31:27.880 --> 02:31:29.880
There was a big trend on their attacks on Lair.

02:31:29.880 --> 02:31:32.880
Not as much on their clubhouse attacks.

02:31:32.880 --> 02:31:35.880
It's more just then twisted minds running roughshot over the attacking team.

02:31:35.880 --> 02:31:37.880
And now going into this late round,

02:31:37.880 --> 02:31:39.880
I was going to say things like it's problematic,

02:31:39.880 --> 02:31:46.880
It's problematic, but Spoyt and Raxin Bow, just moving down blue, decides to end the round!

02:31:48.880 --> 02:31:51.880
With no fanfare whatsoever!

02:31:52.880 --> 02:31:57.880
Two-minute set-up for ten seconds of action, the Rebellion tifings up!

02:31:58.880 --> 02:32:00.880
It's been a while since we've seen a Spoyt round.

02:32:00.880 --> 02:32:05.880
You guys don't want to repeat this interview right now.

02:32:05.880 --> 02:32:06.880
What?

02:32:06.880 --> 02:32:07.880
You guys don't want to repeat this interview.

02:32:07.880 --> 02:32:10.880
Yeah, we're going to go jam and then base them together.

02:32:10.880 --> 02:32:14.880
Okay guys, I think they are bringing the operator.

02:32:14.880 --> 02:32:16.880
We can bring some jammers for demos.

02:32:16.880 --> 02:32:18.880
And we just need to play at the youth.

02:32:18.880 --> 02:32:19.880
Just exactly what we did.

02:32:19.880 --> 02:32:20.880
We did it well.

02:32:20.880 --> 02:32:22.880
It was only a small mistake.

02:32:22.880 --> 02:32:24.880
For some fucking reason we go for a garage.

02:32:24.880 --> 02:32:27.880
We can retake with clash maybe.

02:32:27.880 --> 02:32:29.880
Close the wall and retake with clash.

02:32:59.880 --> 02:33:05.400
required on map one for rebellion just to squeeze out their map pick but now to

02:33:05.400 --> 02:33:10.320
move from attack into attack twisted minds big survival weighing on them a

02:33:10.320 --> 02:33:14.600
lot more down 0-1 in the series shot for rebellions beginning to gain some

02:33:14.600 --> 02:33:19.960
momentum gain some speed on clubhouse twisted minds now rethinking their

02:33:19.960 --> 02:33:24.040
approach the focus lands on them the rebellion of doing cracking they've

02:33:24.040 --> 02:33:27.200
won the last two rounds the stars change things together and we're seeing a lot

02:33:27.200 --> 02:33:33.280
more teamwork as something that Super was really keen to burn to them. Okay, so that's the lineup.

02:33:36.000 --> 02:33:38.960
Everything that they're doing, they're doing together though, and that's the big takeaway at

02:33:38.960 --> 02:33:43.600
the moment for me with the way that they've started playing, particularly after that timeout.

02:33:43.600 --> 02:33:49.840
Post round eight is where we saw that timeout come through, so we're expecting them to really start

02:33:49.840 --> 02:33:54.800
to continue in that fashion right now. Somebody have been struggling and it's a point that we've

02:33:54.800 --> 02:33:57.560
over on there. The opening engagement has been all

02:33:57.560 --> 02:34:00.720
relieving them here and they are very often fighting from behind.

02:34:00.720 --> 02:34:05.280
It's again something else the rebellion worked incredibly hard on as well as a lot of operators

02:34:05.280 --> 02:34:10.000
switching up. We have seen them work incredible on that opening engagement. It was kind of

02:34:10.000 --> 02:34:14.640
a part and parcel of switching the operators up and sometimes changing the roles and that

02:34:14.640 --> 02:34:18.640
was really a sort of leading factor as to why that started to change as well.

02:34:18.640 --> 02:34:23.600
But as we move into round 11 here one team can start to speak a lead and put themselves

02:34:23.600 --> 02:34:28.960
on to a map point here. If it's the rebellion, it'll be a map and series point. If it's Twisted Minds,

02:34:28.960 --> 02:34:32.160
it will be quick to get a lifeline for a chance at Fortress.

02:34:34.880 --> 02:34:39.520
Praying for Fortress, Twisted Minds, making it farther than any men a team have made it in the

02:34:39.520 --> 02:34:46.240
past. We've seen quarterfinals, has shown himself, has seen a quarterfinal at a main stage, at a major,

02:34:46.240 --> 02:34:49.740
A semi-final, let alone a grand final.

02:34:51.040 --> 02:34:53.340
This would be not only farther than any team,

02:34:53.340 --> 02:34:57.040
but a rapid rise for a region that just two and a half years ago

02:34:57.040 --> 02:34:59.840
was hardly on anybody's radar.

02:34:59.840 --> 02:35:02.140
Just making it in, Vulcans at Copenhagen,

02:35:02.140 --> 02:35:04.240
but then GK at Atlanta.

02:35:04.240 --> 02:35:08.140
That's when Mena really started to make things happen.

02:35:08.140 --> 02:35:11.840
Twisted minds being to feel the weight of the region on their shoulders.

02:35:11.840 --> 02:35:12.740
Third in EML.

02:35:12.740 --> 02:35:15.040
They're used to success at this point.

02:35:15.040 --> 02:35:22.200
Rebellion, as they look to dash those hopes, need to keep that pressure on and keep these underdog turned villains at bay.

02:35:24.520 --> 02:35:29.440
P9 just gonna be popping a shield at the top of those cash stairs. He's got ex-nats working for him as well here.

02:35:29.440 --> 02:35:35.020
A bunch of castle barricades kicking around, but another round and another opener here for Hesham and Be Falls.

02:35:35.320 --> 02:35:40.600
And Be Falls and the rush to shop for Rebellion. If they're not careful, might all fall on these red stairs too.

02:35:40.600 --> 02:35:43.960
Lining up for P9, lining up for Hachome.

02:35:43.960 --> 02:35:48.240
Sir, with a direct feed on one, still has two more to cut through.

02:35:48.240 --> 02:35:52.600
Both Blackbeard and Deimos fall in some squint, adding another angle.

02:35:52.600 --> 02:35:54.400
But P9 ready for it.

02:35:54.400 --> 02:35:56.800
Does Sir feel confident?

02:35:56.800 --> 02:35:59.600
He tried his best, but hit by her will get the job done there.

02:35:59.600 --> 02:36:01.600
Garth!

02:36:01.600 --> 02:36:04.800
Garth, the side, he's fighting for the other team.

02:36:04.800 --> 02:36:08.200
Runs straight into the rebellion, but with a C4 from below.

02:36:08.200 --> 02:36:15.000
map point falls on surf look how much time there is here surf one versus two

02:36:15.000 --> 02:36:18.400
and look at the utilities going up against there's gonna be mirror windows

02:36:18.400 --> 02:36:29.080
castle barricades you name it they will have it to hide behind so much utility so

02:36:29.080 --> 02:36:34.720
much time but information on surf bulletproof camera and a mirror window

02:36:34.720 --> 02:36:38.920
So, staring out in front, in back, you'll attempt to cross.

02:36:38.920 --> 02:36:42.880
Taking refuge behind the bed, and that gives Jayla his opening.

02:36:42.880 --> 02:36:47.280
Swings around the corner, six to five for Twisted Minds.

02:36:47.280 --> 02:36:49.960
One round away.

02:36:54.440 --> 02:36:57.360
Big statement play here from Twisted Minds.

02:36:57.360 --> 02:36:59.320
Couple of other series where we see both teams

02:36:59.320 --> 02:37:01.680
that win their own map choice.

02:37:01.680 --> 02:37:04.240
Not that unusual in a best of three,

02:37:04.240 --> 02:37:07.500
but still close maps regardless.

02:37:07.500 --> 02:37:08.840
Not over just yet though,

02:37:08.840 --> 02:37:10.640
but it is back down to basement.

02:37:10.640 --> 02:37:14.140
We will go site there.

02:37:14.140 --> 02:37:16.580
It's kind of alluded Shopify,

02:37:16.580 --> 02:37:20.480
save a huge individual performance from spoilt

02:37:20.480 --> 02:37:22.080
back on the couple of rounds ago.

02:37:25.620 --> 02:37:27.960
Together, they're so much they were pushing here.

02:37:27.960 --> 02:37:29.960
I mean, the activation on those levels,

02:37:29.960 --> 02:37:33.960
we don't always see Warden getting the full value out of it.

02:37:33.960 --> 02:37:36.120
for the best I've seen in a long time.

02:37:38.160 --> 02:37:40.640
Crazy value from P9.

02:37:40.640 --> 02:37:42.360
Such an insane player this tournament.

02:37:42.360 --> 02:37:45.000
I mean, I'm gonna show him JLAD, P9 guards.

02:37:45.000 --> 02:37:47.560
They have been a monstrous quad

02:37:47.560 --> 02:37:49.320
that we've seen in Salt Lake City so far,

02:37:49.320 --> 02:37:51.440
but P9 took a little bit to get going

02:37:51.440 --> 02:37:53.080
in the group stage, in the Swiss stage,

02:37:53.080 --> 02:37:55.160
but has really shown up for his team

02:37:55.160 --> 02:37:56.920
in big key moments.

02:37:58.040 --> 02:37:59.920
Right now in these defenses, right now in Clubhouse,

02:37:59.920 --> 02:38:00.920
13 and 7.

02:38:00.920 --> 02:38:05.000
Seven we're still looking for that guy on the rebellion

02:38:05.680 --> 02:38:07.680
Everyone's doing fine. Everyone's putting in the work

02:38:08.400 --> 02:38:12.000
But it's not the Andy show. It's not the rex in the show like we saw on layer

02:38:13.040 --> 02:38:19.480
I don't entirely mind that they could still win games and not have an individual pop-off. That's just called a good team

02:38:19.800 --> 02:38:21.880
It just so happens that that's become the norm

02:38:21.880 --> 02:38:27.080
That's what we've become very used to so far with this rebellion must have particularly on this main stage

02:38:27.080 --> 02:38:33.540
Herschum, back up through his old tricks, maybe hiding out inside a stock.

02:38:33.540 --> 02:38:38.120
Drone Stardom's come in at his feet now, does anybody dare challenge?

02:38:38.120 --> 02:38:43.380
Even the fact that Twisted Minds have won all five of these defensive opening pools so

02:38:43.380 --> 02:38:45.280
far.

02:38:45.280 --> 02:38:49.720
Whatever poor soul decides to fight Herschum on this angle has got to be careful, has got

02:38:49.720 --> 02:38:56.120
to be clean, has got to be decisive and again, it is Canadian going down early on these shields.

02:38:56.120 --> 02:39:04.620
The Canadian has died as the opening death three times this attack so far, every single time, on an important operator.

02:39:04.620 --> 02:39:13.120
Twisted mind, stringing together two, he and I gives himself up to Rex in, but Gaurd is ready for it, baiting his teammate.

02:39:13.120 --> 02:39:20.120
Luring the rebellion in, setting a trap that not even the attack could perceive.

02:39:20.120 --> 02:39:22.120
but sir

02:39:22.760 --> 02:39:30.580
Reaping down bottom main has spotted one in sight has made his way through but without diffuser without his team

02:39:32.080 --> 02:39:34.080
He is just another body

02:39:36.400 --> 02:39:38.560
Another kill for twisted minds

02:39:42.640 --> 02:39:47.500
And so Andy last alive it's a very big ask from Andy again this

02:39:47.500 --> 02:39:52.500
We know what this player is capable of. We've seen what he can do this weekend already.

02:39:52.500 --> 02:39:55.500
He's got a minute on the clock. Two deathmarks.

02:39:55.500 --> 02:39:58.500
He's not in any massive hurry right now to get this job done.

02:39:58.500 --> 02:40:03.500
He can even go and recover a drone. He's able to shoot a mut jammer and recover that.

02:40:03.500 --> 02:40:05.500
He can start to really work this.

02:40:05.500 --> 02:40:08.500
It's not all down and out just yet.

02:40:08.500 --> 02:40:11.500
Sight utility. Not going to be as big a factor as you would think.

02:40:11.500 --> 02:40:14.500
Someone that's already starting to be burnt through.

02:40:17.500 --> 02:40:25.800
Taking every second at his disposal.

02:40:25.800 --> 02:40:28.760
Two deathmark trackers remaining.

02:40:28.760 --> 02:40:36.640
And he's been alone without help for a minute and a half now.

02:40:36.640 --> 02:40:39.440
Again checking all this information.

02:40:39.440 --> 02:40:41.720
Twenty seconds to go.

02:40:41.720 --> 02:40:45.520
One player in blue finally a little bit of info.

02:40:45.520 --> 02:40:46.760
He's got one.

02:40:46.760 --> 02:40:52.040
player found out he'll try and isolate this fight try to win this one but with

02:40:52.040 --> 02:41:00.000
only 10 seconds to go how much can he find with only five only three two one

02:41:00.000 --> 02:41:02.000
Nothing!

02:41:02.000 --> 02:41:04.000
Twisted Minds!

02:41:04.000 --> 02:41:07.000
Let the clock do the talking!

02:41:07.000 --> 02:41:11.000
And with not a single word,

02:41:11.000 --> 02:41:15.000
blows out club 7-5!

02:41:15.000 --> 02:41:18.000
For one more confident team left inside of the tournament,

02:41:18.000 --> 02:41:21.000
Twisted Minds using the clock there,

02:41:21.000 --> 02:41:26.000
using good old fashioned siege to secure that victory on Clubhouse.

02:41:26.000 --> 02:41:29.000
They did not want to leave anything up to chance.

02:41:29.000 --> 02:41:33.440
We do not want to give Ambi an opportunity at another highlight reel.

02:41:33.440 --> 02:41:37.120
All three maps required in our first semi-final of the day.

02:41:37.120 --> 02:41:39.600
We'll be back right after this with Vultras.

02:47:59.000 --> 02:48:15.000
Let's get into the action here, this is Jonah's showdown and this is the show where we take

02:48:15.000 --> 02:48:21.360
three of the best players in the world of Rainbow Six and we put them into a 1 vs 1 vs 1 trivia

02:48:21.360 --> 02:48:22.360
gauntlet.

02:48:22.360 --> 02:48:23.360
Are you guys excited to get started?

02:48:23.360 --> 02:48:24.360
Yes, sir.

02:48:24.360 --> 02:48:28.080
How many banshees can Melusi deploy in one round?

02:48:28.080 --> 02:48:32.200
Stop it for correct. That's a point for you great start honestly

02:48:32.200 --> 02:48:36.400
I forgot that I was supposed to bust in the first question now. I know the game

02:48:36.400 --> 02:48:43.600
I think now I'm locked in what is the range of thatcher's new EGS disruptor gadget fix off 30 meters

02:48:43.600 --> 02:48:46.640
Not quite little long. What else 30 meters?

02:48:51.000 --> 02:48:56.280
Okay, we'll work on the listening for the next one stop in go ahead. I know you want to 13 meter closer

02:48:56.280 --> 02:48:58.280
We're looking for 10 meters.

02:48:58.280 --> 02:49:02.280
15 seconds is how long the gadget lasts.

02:49:03.280 --> 02:49:05.280
Canadian, we know this team can be tricky.

02:49:05.280 --> 02:49:09.280
What do you need to do on this third map to take the win in front of the home crowd?

02:49:09.280 --> 02:49:13.280
I think just, I mean, honestly, just resetting and going into a new map.

02:49:13.280 --> 02:49:15.280
That's the three's work like that.

02:49:15.280 --> 02:49:17.280
You want to win your pick.

02:49:17.280 --> 02:49:18.280
They might win their pick.

02:49:18.280 --> 02:49:19.280
That's just how it goes.

02:49:19.280 --> 02:49:25.280
I think you just come into a side or a confident and, you know, trust, you know, trust what we prepared, trust what we want to do.

02:49:25.280 --> 02:49:28.320
want to do, trust the game plan, and believe in each other.

02:49:28.320 --> 02:49:30.000
And it's simple as that.

02:49:30.000 --> 02:49:33.240
I don't think there's any rocket science to it.

02:49:33.240 --> 02:49:34.720
I'm sure they'll say the same thing.

02:49:34.720 --> 02:49:36.800
So yeah, just reset and go to the next map.

02:49:36.800 --> 02:49:39.960
Guards, we know this crowd have made you guys the villain.

02:49:39.960 --> 02:49:44.360
How good would it feel to shut them up and win this third map?

02:49:44.360 --> 02:49:47.600
It's really fantastic, but I hope the crowd never shut up,

02:49:47.600 --> 02:49:49.840
because they are very good.

02:49:49.840 --> 02:49:55.080
And whoever say USA crowd is bad, he should like,

02:49:55.080 --> 02:49:57.760
I don't know how to say it, but like, hey, you should re-ticket, you know?

02:49:57.760 --> 02:49:58.760
Yeah.

02:49:58.760 --> 02:49:59.760
Incredible.

02:49:59.760 --> 02:50:00.760
Thank you.

02:50:00.760 --> 02:50:01.760
Ha.

02:50:01.760 --> 02:50:03.880
Fortress will be our finale.

02:50:03.880 --> 02:50:09.240
We are going all the way, as my good friend Ace will say, in this first semifinal here,

02:50:09.240 --> 02:50:12.440
Lax, Fox to pick apart what we've just seen there.

02:50:12.440 --> 02:50:15.560
Lax, I mean, Clubhouse, as we said, it's Twisted Minds House.

02:50:15.560 --> 02:50:18.120
I mean, you walked into their domain, they did come out on top.

02:50:18.120 --> 02:50:20.760
You asked, were we going to see a best three, go the distance?

02:50:20.760 --> 02:50:21.760
Absolutely.

02:50:21.760 --> 02:50:22.760
And I do want to highlight in round five.

02:50:22.760 --> 02:50:25.440
This is what I talked about with EP very early on.

02:50:25.440 --> 02:50:28.440
Guards and P9 working in tandem with each other,

02:50:28.440 --> 02:50:29.760
whether you're using the information,

02:50:29.760 --> 02:50:30.760
whether you're using the shields,

02:50:30.760 --> 02:50:34.440
but Guards here so instrumentally well on the Blitz here,

02:50:34.440 --> 02:50:36.080
using it to take control of Cash,

02:50:36.080 --> 02:50:38.920
and then pushing it even further to constantly get the kill,

02:50:38.920 --> 02:50:39.960
going in their favor,

02:50:39.960 --> 02:50:42.600
and then forcing the players into unlinable positions,

02:50:42.600 --> 02:50:44.680
forcing them into crossfire from P9,

02:50:44.680 --> 02:50:46.000
holding outside a Master,

02:50:46.000 --> 02:50:48.320
and then just a Master class round from these two.

02:50:48.320 --> 02:50:49.560
But not just that round of picker,

02:50:49.560 --> 02:50:51.840
the entire series of Clubhouse

02:50:51.840 --> 02:50:53.840
really came down to P9 and guards,

02:50:53.840 --> 02:50:56.080
equally putting up a great showing,

02:50:56.080 --> 02:50:59.280
14 and 8 on that side, and 10 and 9 on the other.

02:50:59.280 --> 02:51:01.120
We need this exact same performance

02:51:01.120 --> 02:51:02.960
from these two going into Fortress.

02:51:02.960 --> 02:51:04.520
I mean, couldn't have said it better myself.

02:51:04.520 --> 02:51:07.000
I mean, we saw that strength on map one with the shield play.

02:51:07.000 --> 02:51:08.760
We thought it was going to be a handle

02:51:08.760 --> 02:51:11.000
at this point in map two, but off of that climb.

02:51:11.000 --> 02:51:12.520
I mean, that was a terrifying blitz rush.

02:51:12.520 --> 02:51:13.360
It was.

02:51:13.360 --> 02:51:14.200
If you're on the other end of that,

02:51:14.200 --> 02:51:15.800
you have very limited time.

02:51:15.800 --> 02:51:17.640
That was the consistency, and that's the difference

02:51:17.640 --> 02:51:19.400
from map one to map two,

02:51:19.400 --> 02:51:21.480
is the shield play was still there,

02:51:21.480 --> 02:51:25.960
But on defense, we saw a little bit different of an approach from Twisted Mind, slowing it down,

02:51:25.960 --> 02:51:28.760
trying that same aggressive play, but running way more traps,

02:51:28.760 --> 02:51:31.560
sourcing SR to make the mistakes themselves.

02:51:31.560 --> 02:51:32.680
We didn't see that on map one.

02:51:32.680 --> 02:51:36.920
So now they've kind of figured it out on clubhouse, but also it's just a vein of the map.

02:51:36.920 --> 02:51:41.240
I think that's the important thing to note as well is they're a team that relies heavy on information.

02:51:41.240 --> 02:51:42.360
They love the trap.

02:51:42.360 --> 02:51:46.360
They like to be able to decide how their opponent is going to get into the building

02:51:46.360 --> 02:51:49.800
and how they're going to remove them in the exact way that they're going to be setting up.

02:51:49.800 --> 02:51:54.320
And then when we're looking into the map like for it does play similar to what we see in clubhouse

02:51:54.320 --> 02:51:58.000
Especially once you get into that later half of the round you are gonna have to deal with those traps

02:51:58.000 --> 02:52:00.280
You are gonna have to that be constricted going into the site

02:52:00.280 --> 02:52:03.280
So if I'm on the side of SR, I'm gonna need to speed things up

02:52:03.280 --> 02:52:09.240
I'm gonna need to use those shields to take that space early on so we have a lot more time to work it so we can navigate around

02:52:09.240 --> 02:52:11.880
These traps whether you're bringing the brava whether you're baiting out with shield

02:52:11.960 --> 02:52:17.960
Something has to be done on an aggressive nature side of things and then they can slow it down and do that little pitch and pull

02:52:17.960 --> 02:52:21.200
if they have the time on their side with his crowd here in Salt Lake City

02:52:21.200 --> 02:52:24.040
There's been absolutely popping off throughout the last two days

02:52:24.040 --> 02:52:29.840
I can feel a little bit nervous tension in the air because they want Shopify rebellion to get this over the line and

02:52:29.960 --> 02:52:32.060
Journal is standing by with one of them right now

02:52:33.000 --> 02:52:36.600
Thank you guys. I'm here in the thick of things in the middle of the crowd

02:52:36.600 --> 02:52:41.700
I've got Zay and Jared here with me guys die hard Shopify rebellion fans from what I understand

02:52:41.700 --> 02:52:47.080
Have you liked what you've seen from them so far? I liked what I've seen their strong points

02:52:47.080 --> 02:52:50.440
There's weak points. I'd like to see the shield not go down too early in the round.

02:52:50.440 --> 02:52:54.240
Canadian, I'm sure, understands that he knows what he's doing better than I do.

02:52:54.240 --> 02:52:57.880
We should go to the crowd for intel more often today.

02:52:57.880 --> 02:53:01.680
Okay, we go to the third map. What do they need to hang on to here?

02:53:01.680 --> 02:53:04.480
The best thing that Shopify Rebellion can take advantage of?

02:53:04.480 --> 02:53:07.280
I think absolutely going to be taking space with that shield.

02:53:07.280 --> 02:53:11.880
I think Canadian needs to be up there. I mean, getting good picks, getting utility.

02:53:11.880 --> 02:53:15.280
You know what I mean? I think Ambie needs to do his thing.

02:53:15.280 --> 02:53:18.280
I think ambi's doing great. I mean do your thing ambi. Hell yeah

02:53:19.320 --> 02:53:22.800
Incredible. Thank you guys so much the crowd here has been incredible

02:53:22.800 --> 02:53:28.840
And they've got some big brains on them as well back to you guys Jonah. Thank you. Thank you very much Jonah

02:53:28.840 --> 02:53:33.760
Listen guys, we've just got time now to predict who is going to be our first grand finalist for this series

02:53:33.760 --> 02:53:39.280
He said and done box give it to me sharp of our belly. All right. I'm about to say twisted minds

02:53:40.880 --> 02:53:42.880
Oh, yes the odds

02:53:45.280 --> 02:53:46.820
We're all ready!

02:53:46.820 --> 02:53:49.700
Map 3, Vinicida is now.

02:53:49.700 --> 02:53:55.060
Well, I mean, we heard guards pay the crowd some respects in his interview.

02:53:55.060 --> 02:53:59.260
Sir, Salt Lake City, does that mean that you also want twisted minds to win?

02:53:59.260 --> 02:54:00.260
What?

02:54:00.260 --> 02:54:07.760
So, wait, wait, wait, you're still rooting for Shopify Rebellion, right?

02:54:07.760 --> 02:54:13.760
They're going to win this 2-1, right?

02:54:13.760 --> 02:54:24.760
Fortress will be where we find out who is making the grand final and who is going home.

02:54:24.760 --> 02:54:30.760
Fortress, Ollie there's a little tidbit between these two teams on this map.

02:54:30.760 --> 02:54:36.760
Can you enlighten us as to why map 3 is just a little bit more special than it already is?

02:54:36.760 --> 02:54:42.760
Well as if it wasn't clear enough that we're in a map 3 after two very close.

02:54:42.760 --> 02:54:48.840
that one and twos. There's not a lot separating these two teams on fortress either. Both have

02:54:48.840 --> 02:54:56.200
got a 4-0 record on this map over the last six months. It is their second and third preference

02:54:56.200 --> 02:55:03.240
second for Twisted Mind, third preff for the Rebellion. There is nothing on paper that separates

02:55:03.240 --> 02:55:08.520
these two on this map. The only thing, and we might get to it a little bit later on,

02:55:08.520 --> 02:55:14.600
It's a little bit of a defense statistic, but aside from that, I am expecting another

02:55:14.600 --> 02:55:19.400
very close map between these two teams because let's be honest, we've had a close series so

02:55:19.400 --> 02:55:20.900
far.

02:55:20.900 --> 02:55:22.400
What's the point in coming to map three of us?

02:55:22.400 --> 02:55:24.680
We're going to go all the way.

02:55:24.680 --> 02:55:27.320
What is the point indeed?

02:55:27.320 --> 02:55:36.360
Shopify Rebellion absolutely baptized G2 yesterday and be demolished G2 yesterday.

02:55:36.360 --> 02:55:41.200
They come into the day going from a really good North American team to sudden tournament

02:55:41.200 --> 02:55:42.800
and grand final favorites.

02:55:42.800 --> 02:55:49.840
They have struggled for every single round, win or lose, on both Lair and Clubhouse.

02:55:49.840 --> 02:55:56.040
Now as we find ourselves on Fortress, this team I imagine is still face.

02:55:56.040 --> 02:55:59.840
The toughest fight they have this entire tournament.

02:55:59.840 --> 02:56:07.620
Pashom, again taking a peek outside the window, again, it is against Ambi, and again, neither

02:56:07.620 --> 02:56:11.900
party able to secure the kill, but Pashom makes Ambi regret it.

02:56:11.900 --> 02:56:15.400
Pashom does this on purpose just to chip players down a little bit.

02:56:15.400 --> 02:56:19.320
He never over commits, and he very rarely actually seems to lose his life to it.

02:56:19.320 --> 02:56:23.200
I think there was one occasion where Rexon put him in the dirt over on Club, but aside

02:56:23.200 --> 02:56:27.800
from that, he's very slippy, and he's good at getting away from these little early bouts

02:56:27.800 --> 02:56:28.800
of aggression.

02:56:28.800 --> 02:56:31.520
So just give Anne-Bee something to think about for the remainder of the round.

02:56:31.520 --> 02:56:35.680
He's a bit more cautious if he gets caught in any of those razor bloom traps as well

02:56:35.680 --> 02:56:37.680
that Hachome will be bringing.

02:56:37.680 --> 02:56:42.720
Hiding out here, a little bit of prone action, Anne-Bee's drone as well.

02:56:42.720 --> 02:56:45.080
These two just can't seem to stay away from one another.

02:56:45.080 --> 02:56:50.360
We'll be caught out there and should probably move, but won't.

02:56:50.360 --> 02:56:57.840
Hachome has never, when the option's presented itself, gotten up off the floor.

02:56:57.840 --> 02:57:04.240
This man lives, just sitting, prone, holding an angle as long as he could desire.

02:57:04.240 --> 02:57:08.940
He'll be droned, he'll be spotted by not only the Solotone Scanner but the Tokubi Call as well,

02:57:08.940 --> 02:57:13.560
and still he, and trickst, is moving around the extremities to the site.

02:57:13.560 --> 02:57:18.080
Hashom, it's not Ambi he dueled, it's Spoit he kills, it's J-Lad,

02:57:18.080 --> 02:57:22.660
leading the way for Twisted Minds in round one of Fortress Ambien's surf.

02:57:22.660 --> 02:57:24.960
Both quite low.

02:57:24.960 --> 02:57:33.440
Hachom finally getting another, but his main prey public enemy number one for twisted minds has still not gone down

02:57:33.440 --> 02:57:37.840
It is ambi in the 1v4 just one player peeking around the corner

02:57:37.840 --> 02:57:42.760
He finds them a 3k for Hachom beginning and ending

02:57:43.480 --> 02:57:46.240
Trying to fight and succeeding to fight ambi

02:57:47.240 --> 02:57:52.520
It started with the ambi versus the show and standoff and it finished the very same way

02:57:52.520 --> 02:57:59.520
the way. SR's attack. kind of

02:57:59.520 --> 02:58:01.520
just crashing. Crushing out, not

02:58:01.520 --> 02:58:03.520
really achieving their desired

02:58:03.520 --> 02:58:04.520
goal. Of course, never ideal

02:58:04.520 --> 02:58:06.520
losing that opening pick,

02:58:06.520 --> 02:58:07.520
especially when it is spoiled on

02:58:07.520 --> 02:58:09.520
snake. You're looking for that

02:58:09.520 --> 02:58:10.520
for a lot of that information.

02:58:10.520 --> 02:58:12.520
They even had good reads as to

02:58:12.520 --> 02:58:14.520
where the show was playing. He

02:58:14.520 --> 02:58:15.520
was laid prone on stairs and

02:58:15.520 --> 02:58:16.520
shot the drone. Still didn't

02:58:16.520 --> 02:58:18.520
move. The expectation is that he

02:58:18.520 --> 02:58:20.520
will. So kind of a good bait,

02:58:20.520 --> 02:58:22.240
to your opponent's mind.

02:58:22.240 --> 02:58:26.160
There is no doubt in Twisted Mind's mind though,

02:58:26.160 --> 02:58:28.400
as they are looking pretty confident here,

02:58:28.400 --> 02:58:29.240
and they should be.

02:58:29.240 --> 02:58:33.040
Defense is gonna be mega favorite on Fortress.

02:58:33.040 --> 02:58:35.360
It is the most defended side of the map

02:58:35.360 --> 02:58:37.640
that we have in the pool at the moment.

02:58:37.640 --> 02:58:40.000
And I don't see that changing over the course of this series,

02:58:40.000 --> 02:58:40.960
not just yet.

02:58:40.960 --> 02:58:43.360
No, I don't see map three of Rebellion

02:58:43.360 --> 02:58:44.760
versus Twisted Mind's changing that.

02:58:44.760 --> 02:58:47.320
It has been three free halves, both maps you've had so far,

02:58:47.320 --> 02:58:48.440
as close as it can get.

02:58:48.440 --> 02:58:49.920
Five seconds to insertion.

02:58:49.920 --> 02:58:51.280
All 12 rounds on the second.

02:58:51.280 --> 02:58:54.360
All 15 on the first.

02:58:54.360 --> 02:58:56.920
We can only hope it'll be the same fair on map three.

02:58:56.920 --> 02:58:59.320
Hachom, I don't even need to say it at this point.

02:58:59.320 --> 02:59:00.640
We all know it.

02:59:00.640 --> 02:59:02.600
Never mind, we don't know what he's going to do.

02:59:02.600 --> 02:59:04.160
He's not peeking out the window this time.

02:59:04.160 --> 02:59:07.800
He has sat prone beneath the single window.

02:59:07.800 --> 02:59:09.480
Want to see a Shopify rebellion clear it

02:59:09.480 --> 02:59:11.720
if they use or send a drone over to that position

02:59:11.720 --> 02:59:13.280
as on the rebellion side.

02:59:13.280 --> 02:59:15.200
Canadian, again, bringing in the shield.

02:59:15.200 --> 02:59:17.480
Characteristic for these rebellion attacks.

02:59:17.480 --> 02:59:20.480
Monty banned, he goes to the Blackbeard or the Blitz.

02:59:20.480 --> 02:59:23.240
You have to look over on this old tower side

02:59:23.240 --> 02:59:24.680
to make sure he doesn't get caught up by anybody.

02:59:24.680 --> 02:59:26.440
Say, riding through a window.

02:59:26.440 --> 02:59:27.560
Yeah, I think the show was just gathering

02:59:27.560 --> 02:59:28.560
a little bit of information there.

02:59:28.560 --> 02:59:29.880
He catches a couple of players,

02:59:29.880 --> 02:59:31.960
the sound cue of them getting up there on the Repel.

02:59:31.960 --> 02:59:34.760
He can continue to play and harass around this area.

02:59:34.760 --> 02:59:36.520
And again, just make it difficult

02:59:36.520 --> 02:59:37.880
for the Rebellion to move in.

02:59:37.880 --> 02:59:40.320
You can see how heavily stacked up everybody is

02:59:40.320 --> 02:59:42.080
at the moment on this command move.

02:59:42.080 --> 02:59:42.920
And if they're over the fence,

02:59:42.920 --> 02:59:44.360
falling off the back of Canadian,

02:59:44.360 --> 02:59:46.200
they might have a bit of a problem.

02:59:46.200 --> 02:59:50.060
All stack up Canadian as well as face a bit of difficulty on these shield entries

02:59:50.060 --> 02:59:55.680
But shot by the value of maintaining an advantage and be pushing in deep holding through the smoke still shot through it

02:59:55.680 --> 02:59:59.860
No smokes don't block bullets and JLAD as Canadians got a watch his own flight

03:00:00.960 --> 03:00:03.680
Ends up putting one to the back of that soulless his head

03:00:04.200 --> 03:00:05.720
But a quick pause

03:00:05.720 --> 03:00:08.540
Zambia can be picked back up P9 can go for another flank

03:00:09.800 --> 03:00:11.800
But catches the blitz instead

03:00:12.160 --> 03:00:14.160
Facing a lot of trouble

03:00:14.160 --> 03:00:20.640
That's nobody from the rebellion to get a handle on P9 and now in the 2v2 rebellion

03:00:21.560 --> 03:00:23.560
completely pushed back

03:00:24.240 --> 03:00:28.080
The call off wasn't sufficient there P9 being allowed to play in that position

03:00:29.040 --> 03:00:31.040
retake that ground

03:00:31.560 --> 03:00:37.920
Devastated the advantage that the rebellion worked so hard for they almost at the plant down at one point and the decision was to come

03:00:37.920 --> 03:00:42.000
Off and guarantee it by having a good idea as to where these remaining defendants were

03:00:42.000 --> 03:00:48.000
Now we've got Rexon left scrambling trying to gather as much as he can out of the drone and they're both going to push one door

03:00:49.240 --> 03:00:53.520
Just one door a high-low angle and he just slithers in front of them

03:00:54.960 --> 03:00:58.920
Guards knew that gunfire was coming three whole seconds in advance

03:01:00.000 --> 03:01:03.080
Now Rexon trying to make it work from the exact same position

03:01:04.040 --> 03:01:09.080
Down some support no information a new angle one flashbang

03:01:09.080 --> 03:01:12.700
He's made his way into sight with the fuser in hand.

03:01:12.700 --> 03:01:17.380
Start to put it down, maybe he paid out some kills, but no, not today.

03:01:17.380 --> 03:01:20.080
Garret's playing patient, Twisted Minds.

03:01:20.080 --> 03:01:24.880
Not the ratty team we thought they were, closed out the 2B1 with some textbook siege.

03:01:24.880 --> 03:01:27.280
Twisted Minds happy to play from deep there.

03:01:27.280 --> 03:01:29.080
They've got DMRs they may as well.

03:01:29.080 --> 03:01:31.380
It's going to be perfect for that sort of an engagement.

03:01:31.380 --> 03:01:33.780
Only a couple of bullets needed to be landed.

03:01:33.780 --> 03:01:38.580
Rebellion, really attempting to go for that all or nothing play.

03:01:38.580 --> 03:01:40.420
They're sending Canadian through.

03:01:40.420 --> 03:01:42.260
They've got a decent opener.

03:01:42.260 --> 03:01:43.940
Rexon was able to take a shunt down,

03:01:43.940 --> 03:01:45.660
wiped him off the face of the board straight away.

03:01:45.660 --> 03:01:48.260
So that's all of a sudden, the third player, the flanker,

03:01:48.260 --> 03:01:51.460
the player that you're expecting to be a bit of a problem.

03:01:51.460 --> 03:01:53.740
The problem player was B9.

03:01:53.740 --> 03:01:55.820
Yeah, sure, Canadian gets the kill on J-Lad,

03:01:55.820 --> 03:01:59.980
but back cross right there from B9 was devastating.

03:01:59.980 --> 03:02:02.420
Not only grabbing one, but a second as well.

03:02:03.420 --> 03:02:05.540
Spoil, tasked with watching that window,

03:02:05.540 --> 03:02:09.260
Watching that doorway and making sure nobody crosses.

03:02:09.260 --> 03:02:10.140
Gamma ready to run.

03:02:10.140 --> 03:02:14.300
It's really cost the end result of the round.

03:02:14.300 --> 03:02:16.180
Two rounds to zero now for Twisted Minds.

03:02:16.180 --> 03:02:17.980
They start to streak a bit of a lead.

03:02:17.980 --> 03:02:19.620
It's not unusual in this series.

03:02:19.620 --> 03:02:23.980
We've seen both teams go up by at least two at some point.

03:02:23.980 --> 03:02:27.460
But this is the time for response.

03:02:27.460 --> 03:02:28.980
We need to see a response from the Rebellion

03:02:28.980 --> 03:02:31.820
or we'll probably see a timeout from Super.

03:02:31.820 --> 03:02:34.060
I'm surprised we didn't see it.

03:02:34.060 --> 03:02:35.420
All things considered.

03:02:35.420 --> 03:02:37.660
I mean, it was a bit of a close affair in round two, but round one,

03:02:37.660 --> 03:02:40.620
there was only one body lost for Twisted Minds.

03:02:40.620 --> 03:02:42.260
They get three in a row.

03:02:42.260 --> 03:02:44.580
They're making the most compelling argument

03:02:44.580 --> 03:02:46.780
this entire series, that they,

03:02:49.180 --> 03:02:52.140
the best meta team we've seen on the international stage

03:02:52.140 --> 03:02:56.300
in the history of this game, making a semi-final.

03:02:56.300 --> 03:02:58.220
They'll be making an argument that they can push this,

03:02:58.220 --> 03:03:00.220
one more map, one more series,

03:03:00.220 --> 03:03:03.300
and be the first meta team in the grand final

03:03:03.300 --> 03:03:06.060
of an S tier event.

03:03:06.060 --> 03:03:08.620
Twisted minds now looking to get that third round

03:03:08.620 --> 03:03:10.740
will move down to the first floor.

03:03:10.740 --> 03:03:13.340
Everybody scattered around the bomb site

03:03:13.340 --> 03:03:17.260
but nobody up top has shown ever the confident player

03:03:17.260 --> 03:03:18.820
will go down early to Rexon.

03:03:20.060 --> 03:03:22.100
Not having desired impacts over the last couple of rounds.

03:03:22.100 --> 03:03:23.180
He was brilliant in round one,

03:03:23.180 --> 03:03:25.300
but aside from that, he's been quiet.

03:03:25.300 --> 03:03:27.020
I don't know the kill since the opening portion

03:03:27.020 --> 03:03:30.180
of this game and will be quiet here in round three.

03:03:30.180 --> 03:03:32.300
Rexon again on that entry.

03:03:32.300 --> 03:03:36.060
Again, that player has been quietly putting the work in so far for SR.

03:03:36.640 --> 03:03:39.560
No immediate response, no immediate ground-taking here.

03:03:39.860 --> 03:03:42.200
As SR are just looking to try and further this advantage.

03:03:42.360 --> 03:03:45.720
See if they can catch another one of these players just out of position.

03:03:46.060 --> 03:03:46.560
Guards.

03:03:47.040 --> 03:03:51.380
He's been moving through the sitting room downstairs, but he's got a great chance for those doors being open.

03:03:52.840 --> 03:03:54.900
Great chance for the breach open. Window as well.

03:03:55.160 --> 03:03:57.320
Dope's call goes out. Instead, Tricks again.

03:03:57.520 --> 03:04:00.300
Canadian going down early on these powerful operators.

03:04:00.300 --> 03:04:02.940
Now it's two kills that fly the way of Twisted Minds.

03:04:03.540 --> 03:04:09.000
Still at the halfway point, it's really equal. J-Lad put Spoigt Flat on his back.

03:04:09.440 --> 03:04:15.960
And it is again, Twisted Minds just completely dominating the rebellion. It might only be one body.

03:04:16.600 --> 03:04:20.320
The rebellion started off with an opening pick. This round and the last!

03:04:20.320 --> 03:04:24.360
And now when we get to the end, it is Twisted Minds up two.

03:04:25.000 --> 03:04:27.440
A beautiful recovery in round three.

03:04:27.440 --> 03:04:35.680
So Serp who has clutched so many times in so many positions sees a laser just right on the window sill

03:04:35.680 --> 03:04:37.680
Just a little bit of hope and yet

03:04:38.160 --> 03:04:42.960
It seems unlikely for him to get this clutch especially with the fuser in their hands

03:04:42.960 --> 03:04:45.600
It just feels like an ask that is too big at this point

03:04:45.600 --> 03:04:49.440
Sure, everyone's low, but they're booted up and they've got control of the kit

03:04:49.440 --> 03:04:54.460
There's 40 seconds for Serp to try and work with here. He may find one, but picking up all three

03:04:54.460 --> 03:04:56.460
It's gonna be near impossible

03:04:56.460 --> 03:05:00.460
It does not seem likely, especially with a shotgun right around the corner.

03:05:00.460 --> 03:05:06.460
Jaylatt and Tricks might be low HP, but Surf would have to hit one of the craziest shots.

03:05:06.460 --> 03:05:10.460
This whole tournament, Jaylatt swings a little early.

03:05:10.460 --> 03:05:13.460
Gershmott gives away Surf's position, but they already knew that.

03:05:13.460 --> 03:05:17.460
They just saw their teammate get decimated by this R4C.

03:05:17.460 --> 03:05:20.460
Time, it's getting low.

03:05:20.460 --> 03:05:24.460
Surf's gotta move forward, gotta push into site, gotta either bait out these picks

03:05:24.460 --> 03:05:27.460
or somehow some way put the diffuser down,

03:05:27.460 --> 03:05:30.460
but twisted minds who've done it so many times,

03:05:30.460 --> 03:05:32.460
they just burn out the clock in Tricks.

03:05:32.460 --> 03:05:34.460
Are you fast enough?

03:05:34.460 --> 03:05:36.460
Can you get there in time?

03:05:36.460 --> 03:05:39.460
Seize him and snuffs it out.

03:05:39.460 --> 03:05:43.460
Got a little bit closer than it really needed to be there.

03:05:43.460 --> 03:05:46.460
Tricks just found himself a little bit too far away,

03:05:46.460 --> 03:05:48.460
still with just about enough time,

03:05:48.460 --> 03:05:50.460
but if that had been a slightly off position,

03:05:50.460 --> 03:05:58.040
I've surfed at another moment to reposition after getting that kill may have seen that plank go down and a bit of a post plan generate as it stands

03:05:58.480 --> 03:06:02.360
Nothing is stopping twisted mines so far on this map of fortress

03:06:03.280 --> 03:06:10.480
Still surprised. We've not at the time out yet. It feels like it's looming. This is the most important side of fortress

03:06:11.760 --> 03:06:13.760
We've seen early timeouts before

03:06:15.120 --> 03:06:19.040
That is pretty much what I wanted to tell you right we know these guys are highly reactive

03:06:19.040 --> 03:06:21.200
They're just flying to wherever we are.

03:06:21.200 --> 03:06:22.920
We should be looking to apply pressure

03:06:22.920 --> 03:06:25.080
by removing the traps from the equation

03:06:25.080 --> 03:06:27.280
so they can't rely on these traps,

03:06:27.280 --> 03:06:29.320
pulling them, because we know they're gonna react

03:06:29.320 --> 03:06:30.800
and just seeing if we can split.

03:06:30.800 --> 03:06:33.200
But we have to make sure we cannot do that

03:06:33.200 --> 03:06:35.480
if we're not clearing fucking anything, okay?

03:06:35.480 --> 03:06:37.240
So we need to make sure that we're bringing shit

03:06:37.240 --> 03:06:38.800
to clear traps, clear barbs,

03:06:38.800 --> 03:06:40.480
so we actually have split pressure.

03:06:40.480 --> 03:06:43.400
If we just are sitting there, hoping they run away,

03:06:43.400 --> 03:06:44.240
it doesn't matter,

03:06:44.240 --> 03:06:46.280
because they know they have the traps to rely on, okay?

03:06:46.280 --> 03:06:48.400
Guys, I think we've been doing great

03:06:48.400 --> 03:06:51.760
trading these down early, we're losing the mid-rate round again.

03:06:51.760 --> 03:06:55.080
We need to reset, get on the same page, talk about how we're going to help each other,

03:06:55.080 --> 03:06:56.760
how we're going to push off each other, okay?

03:06:56.760 --> 03:06:57.760
Let's go, come on!

03:06:57.760 --> 03:06:58.760
Come on, let's go!

03:06:58.760 --> 03:06:59.760
Don't hide from the number, run, run, run!

03:06:59.760 --> 03:07:05.200
Yeah, the same thing, same the first time, yeah.

03:07:05.200 --> 03:07:10.920
That time out, we're told by Ollie and I think all of us sitting at home, seeing Shopify

03:07:10.920 --> 03:07:15.480
rebellion, slowly letting this game, I get slowly quite rapidly actually Ollie, letting

03:07:15.480 --> 03:07:21.840
this game spin out of their control. Three uncontested rounds for twisted minds on these

03:07:21.840 --> 03:07:27.800
fortress defenses and if we get a fourth, God forbid a fifth. We might be down one NA team

03:07:27.800 --> 03:07:34.280
in just half an hour. Coming into this day, Rebellion had a 55% attacking win rate on this

03:07:34.280 --> 03:07:38.520
map. Over half, which is great for a map that's tough to attack on. Like you would expect

03:07:38.520 --> 03:07:43.240
this to say like a 48% sort of thing. So the fact that they haven't won a round yet means

03:07:43.240 --> 03:07:48.080
They can't achieve that 55% of course, because W3 will be 50-50.

03:07:48.080 --> 03:07:51.000
They can still perform and they can still be fantastically well.

03:07:51.000 --> 03:07:54.440
But Super sort of recognise there, they're going to have to shift up their attitudes

03:07:54.440 --> 03:07:56.680
if they want to try and make that happen.

03:07:56.680 --> 03:07:59.360
The traps are becoming a huge problem for them,

03:07:59.360 --> 03:08:03.240
bringing big powerful operators like Canadian has been doing on the Inconsistently,

03:08:03.240 --> 03:08:07.160
or the Blitz had not seen the desired value out of it.

03:08:07.160 --> 03:08:11.320
And the player that's been quite quiet at the moment has been spoiled.

03:08:11.320 --> 03:08:15.320
Zero and three across the first three rounds here.

03:08:15.320 --> 03:08:18.920
They don't characteristic from the sport that we were used to seeing inside of the Swiss.

03:08:18.920 --> 03:08:21.320
He hasn't had the greatest series so far.

03:08:21.320 --> 03:08:24.320
Well, this could be a redemption map if he wants it to be.

03:08:26.120 --> 03:08:28.320
Not the lowest-rated player on Shopify Rebellion,

03:08:28.320 --> 03:08:30.820
but just four EPS above Canadian right now.

03:08:30.820 --> 03:08:35.320
Spoyt has been having the roughest series this whole tournament.

03:08:36.120 --> 03:08:38.020
Coming off the back of a rough kickoff,

03:08:38.020 --> 03:08:41.020
Rebellion need every player to show up right now.

03:08:41.320 --> 03:08:47.320
After the tactical timeout, super trying to get the team together, trying to come up with the solution.

03:08:47.320 --> 03:08:52.320
It'll be a slow beginning, getting a lot of utility. Hacking these Arunigates.

03:08:52.320 --> 03:09:00.320
They've got no shortage of targets with that bloodstone, mind you. Arunigates, Razor Blooms, F-Nauts, so much utility, a bulletproof as well.

03:09:00.320 --> 03:09:07.320
That the rebellion can look towards at the beginning to try and create graphs, create little opportunities for the rebellion to slip into this mid-round.

03:09:07.320 --> 03:09:15.320
You get ambi activated, you get spoilt activated, especially if the snake has survived this mid-half band phase and got some good tools.

03:09:15.320 --> 03:09:21.320
All the focuses have been on the traps, hasn't it? Shot drones from Twitch, hood drones from Brava, you name it, ambi.

03:09:21.320 --> 03:09:24.320
He's going to have the info here as to where guards is positioned.

03:09:24.320 --> 03:09:28.320
But guards, he's going to dig back, play in a deeper angle with that DMR.

03:09:28.320 --> 03:09:32.320
The drone comes through to confirm it, but they are out of there, not willing to hang around.

03:09:32.320 --> 03:09:36.320
They don't need to see what happens when they stick around.

03:09:36.320 --> 03:09:39.360
They know what will happen, especially with Andy around the camera.

03:09:39.360 --> 03:09:42.920
Rexon, the first kill on the J-Lad, Mira goes down.

03:09:42.920 --> 03:09:45.320
That's Rexon's third opening kill in a row.

03:09:45.320 --> 03:09:48.320
And Rebellion don't have a single round off the back of it.

03:09:48.320 --> 03:09:54.320
The 5v4 is never something to shirk at, but it's also something you don't want to waste.

03:09:54.320 --> 03:09:59.320
Ashom, it's another early death for Canadian, but Rebellion maintained their advantage.

03:09:59.320 --> 03:10:04.320
P9, he put big in this position earlier, he'll go down in the same spot.

03:10:04.320 --> 03:10:08.680
Sir, pistol in hand, mind you, just walks in,

03:10:08.680 --> 03:10:12.080
wins an important engagement, but guards,

03:10:12.080 --> 03:10:14.400
twisted mind, secret weapon on this defense,

03:10:14.400 --> 03:10:16.440
though P9 has made a good run for that title

03:10:16.440 --> 03:10:18.120
throughout this series.

03:10:18.120 --> 03:10:20.000
They'll be the next to fall to the AK-12,

03:10:20.000 --> 03:10:22.000
and so, we look to Trist.

03:10:22.920 --> 03:10:26.000
1v3, rebellion after their tactical timeout,

03:10:26.000 --> 03:10:28.200
looking like they've put together the pieces,

03:10:28.200 --> 03:10:30.560
like they've come up with something, anything,

03:10:30.560 --> 03:10:33.520
just one shot to keep them competitive

03:10:33.520 --> 03:10:36.600
against an up-start team.

03:10:38.400 --> 03:10:41.840
They put their first round on the board.

03:10:43.880 --> 03:10:46.000
I bet the Rebellion wish they could have a tactical timeout

03:10:46.000 --> 03:10:48.760
from Super ahead of every single round played,

03:10:48.760 --> 03:10:50.880
because it is very, very effective.

03:10:51.920 --> 03:10:53.520
It's taken a while to come online here

03:10:53.520 --> 03:10:56.280
on our third and final map of the series,

03:10:56.280 --> 03:10:58.120
but it has been good for another round.

03:10:58.120 --> 03:11:00.200
The difference, a focus on tracks,

03:11:00.200 --> 03:11:03.480
and again, a reminder and a focus on that teamwork.

03:11:03.480 --> 03:11:07.000
Work those three two ones and really play to those strengths.

03:11:07.000 --> 03:11:08.200
They got an opening pick.

03:11:08.200 --> 03:11:09.240
It didn't last too long.

03:11:09.240 --> 03:11:10.360
It was traded back.

03:11:10.360 --> 03:11:13.000
But Surf's impact here from Hamam Roof

03:11:13.000 --> 03:11:16.800
just being able to affect onto the players inside of horse.

03:11:16.800 --> 03:11:18.880
Massive.

03:11:18.880 --> 03:11:21.280
Big 3K from Surf in round four.

03:11:21.280 --> 03:11:24.800
Pistol and F2 getting the job done.

03:11:24.800 --> 03:11:25.840
3-0 direction as well.

03:11:25.840 --> 03:11:26.840
The opening kill so far.

03:11:26.840 --> 03:11:29.760
Finally a conversion for it as well.

03:11:29.760 --> 03:11:31.600
Rebellion getting some good trends going their way

03:11:31.600 --> 03:11:36.600
and they need it most. It's only one round, but every single half so far has been a 3-3

03:11:36.600 --> 03:11:42.840
Rebellion. I've been able to tie things up. Both maps. It'd be the biggest streak they'd

03:11:42.840 --> 03:11:48.840
have to run to do it this time. They've done it before. One round, two rounds. Three is

03:11:48.840 --> 03:11:52.880
just barely greater than both of those. So now, we look over to the old tower side to

03:11:52.880 --> 03:11:55.680
win this new site being brought by Twisted Minds.

03:11:55.680 --> 03:12:00.280
Three rounds, unfortunately, massive for the attack anyway. I think a good standard would

03:12:00.280 --> 03:12:03.720
be two rounds, one's good and certainly workable.

03:12:03.720 --> 03:12:04.920
But they're gonna need a little bit more

03:12:04.920 --> 03:12:06.200
out of this first phase.

03:12:06.200 --> 03:12:08.800
If you want to give themselves an easier time of things,

03:12:08.800 --> 03:12:09.960
come that side slot.

03:12:09.960 --> 03:12:12.080
Twisted Minds, they too know this.

03:12:12.080 --> 03:12:14.080
And then they're gonna take that round lost too lightly.

03:12:14.080 --> 03:12:15.920
They're gonna try and tighten things up again.

03:12:15.920 --> 03:12:18.200
Still, we see them bringing a lot of track focus,

03:12:18.200 --> 03:12:20.640
but whereas we've seen a braver and a Twitch

03:12:20.640 --> 03:12:22.760
just dismantle a trap game,

03:12:22.760 --> 03:12:24.320
now we have a new in the picture,

03:12:24.320 --> 03:12:26.040
slowing down some of those tools

03:12:26.040 --> 03:12:27.680
that the attackers are starting to build.

03:12:27.680 --> 03:12:29.480
So we're seeing this Twisted Minds team

03:12:29.480 --> 03:12:32.040
with a bit more adaptation in their belt.

03:12:32.040 --> 03:12:34.840
They're also bringing a mirror, a fantastic tool,

03:12:34.840 --> 03:12:37.240
especially when defending onto this top floor.

03:12:37.240 --> 03:12:38.520
They gave you so many good angles,

03:12:38.520 --> 03:12:40.160
just looking out from the site.

03:12:40.160 --> 03:12:42.240
Also putting a lot of pressure on the rebellion.

03:12:42.240 --> 03:12:45.400
If they try to push in, just do an old tower direct,

03:12:45.400 --> 03:12:47.840
they're gonna feel really compressed on that side of that.

03:12:47.840 --> 03:12:49.800
We see a lot of teams, even with shields,

03:12:49.800 --> 03:12:51.480
get really stuck up on that position

03:12:51.480 --> 03:12:53.000
and face a lot of difficulty.

03:12:53.000 --> 03:12:54.760
Nice find with the shot ground,

03:12:54.760 --> 03:12:57.080
with their minds over on the command side,

03:12:57.080 --> 03:12:59.320
finding a little bit of good utility play on the showroom front,

03:12:59.320 --> 03:13:01.720
beneath this window for quite a long time.

03:13:01.720 --> 03:13:04.240
This presence will be known as J-Lat's sound down.

03:13:04.240 --> 03:13:06.920
Ambie, quick kill, but quickly traded out of town.

03:13:06.920 --> 03:13:09.200
Rebellion playing so close together.

03:13:09.200 --> 03:13:12.360
Knaded with the shotgun around the corner, finds his second.

03:13:12.360 --> 03:13:15.760
P9, again playing this museum side,

03:13:15.760 --> 03:13:18.880
but it seems that the rebellion have an idea.

03:13:18.880 --> 03:13:21.920
Surf and SPOIT watching this position.

03:13:21.920 --> 03:13:23.840
They'll both fire some shots as Surf

03:13:23.840 --> 03:13:25.920
takes a more forward stance, but P9,

03:13:25.920 --> 03:13:28.920
Now luring them deeper into this top floor.

03:13:30.720 --> 03:13:33.920
A decision needs to be made here as to whether they're going to deal with P9 or not.

03:13:33.920 --> 03:13:36.920
Are they just going to let him hang around there and deal with them at the end of the round?

03:13:36.920 --> 03:13:39.520
Or are they going to actively try and seek that player out?

03:13:39.520 --> 03:13:43.320
With the amount of space they've got at the minute, you'd be foolish to try and chase after him.

03:13:43.320 --> 03:13:46.920
You've really just got to give him that space and hope that you can still keep things tight,

03:13:46.920 --> 03:13:50.820
knowing that you've got a man advantage coming into the final minute.

03:13:50.820 --> 03:13:53.420
Little bit of diffuser juggling going around here as well,

03:13:53.420 --> 03:13:56.860
as we will start to see some of these sidewalls get opened.

03:13:56.860 --> 03:13:58.700
See the walls get opened, see the round as well,

03:13:58.700 --> 03:14:00.940
spoiling Nassabana tricks in a show.

03:14:00.940 --> 03:14:03.780
He's been sitting at this window for two minutes and 10 seconds.

03:14:03.780 --> 03:14:04.660
Goes down.

03:14:04.660 --> 03:14:06.340
P&I only get one as well.

03:14:09.340 --> 03:14:12.420
First there was zero, then one.

03:14:12.420 --> 03:14:16.980
Now Shopify Rebellion with two just need another round

03:14:16.980 --> 03:14:18.260
to tie things up.

03:14:18.260 --> 03:14:23.700
to be the final match of the

03:14:23.760 --> 03:14:26.200
season. The performance on

03:14:26.260 --> 03:14:28.200
fortress could already be

03:14:28.260 --> 03:14:30.200
enough. They may not have to

03:14:30.260 --> 03:14:32.100
go the hallway and get the

03:14:32.160 --> 03:14:34.040
equal 33 split that we see a

03:14:34.100 --> 03:14:36.140
lot of these more even maps

03:14:36.200 --> 03:14:39.180
bringing us.

03:14:42.240 --> 03:14:43.840
Crowd slowly starting to warm

03:14:43.920 --> 03:14:45.120
up here for what will be the

03:14:45.180 --> 03:14:48.220
final map of this series.

03:14:48.260 --> 03:14:52.700
really do not want to let squander the twisted minds.

03:14:52.700 --> 03:14:56.660
Bit of a wake-up time, like they had a really easy time of things those first three attacking

03:14:56.660 --> 03:14:57.660
rounds.

03:14:57.660 --> 03:15:02.940
A tactical time out from Super and the board has just been flipped on its head.

03:15:02.940 --> 03:15:06.660
And one thing you heard discussed by Super in that tactical time out was how reactive

03:15:06.660 --> 03:15:07.660
twisted minds are playing.

03:15:07.660 --> 03:15:11.220
That whenever we do something we go there and something I noticed in round four, which

03:15:11.220 --> 03:15:16.060
you saw Canadian use two Candelas early, then they rotated to the other side, clearly trying

03:15:16.060 --> 03:15:19.740
the bait twisted minds away then hit where they're just now rotating from and where they're

03:15:19.740 --> 03:15:20.740
their weakest.

03:15:20.740 --> 03:15:25.460
It's taping it to his ear.

03:15:25.460 --> 03:15:29.740
That is dedication.

03:15:29.740 --> 03:15:32.100
That's going to be wild to take off later.

03:15:32.100 --> 03:15:37.220
That is going to be crazy to take off later.

03:15:37.220 --> 03:15:44.460
If you find ourselves three to two Salt Lake City Shopify Rebellion just need your faith

03:15:44.460 --> 03:15:45.820
for a little bit longer.

03:15:45.820 --> 03:15:48.500
They'll need it for more than one round if they want to win.

03:15:48.500 --> 03:15:52.100
But for this half, to get themselves the same tie game

03:15:52.100 --> 03:15:56.180
they had on Lair, on Clubhouse, here on Fortress,

03:15:56.180 --> 03:15:59.500
they will need you to believe for another three minutes

03:15:59.500 --> 03:16:02.620
and 30 seconds, including the prep phase.

03:16:02.620 --> 03:16:03.740
They need to make good on it.

03:16:03.740 --> 03:16:07.260
The Rebellion now after that, Tech.

03:16:07.260 --> 03:16:09.100
Well, hold on.

03:16:09.100 --> 03:16:10.500
Nate, we'll have another one.

03:16:10.500 --> 03:16:14.500
We will have another one.

03:16:14.500 --> 03:16:18.500
I hate when I get a bug in my mouse.

03:16:18.500 --> 03:16:22.500
Don't you hate the mouse bug?

03:16:22.500 --> 03:16:26.500
I've been thinking, Wings. You've been thinking?

03:16:26.500 --> 03:16:30.500
I've been thinking. What are you thinking? I'm wondering if the Rebellion have done enough already

03:16:30.500 --> 03:16:34.500
here on this map. There's a crazy stat we can drop.

03:16:34.500 --> 03:16:38.500
We've got a little bit of time. Okay, go on. I'm listening.

03:16:38.500 --> 03:16:46.420
out of 19. Okay, those are that's a fraction. The defensive wins for SR on

03:16:46.420 --> 03:16:51.380
this map. So you're saying in the past what four plays? Yeah. SR have won 17 out

03:16:51.380 --> 03:16:58.540
of 19 rounds on defense on defense. Okay, that's kind of insane. That's what 88%

03:16:58.540 --> 03:17:05.860
something like that. So close 89.5. I'm kind of the goat. That was terrible at

03:17:05.860 --> 03:17:10.740
math, awful at math actually. That was actually a massive anomaly in my life, all things considered.

03:17:10.740 --> 03:17:14.300
As evidenced, given that you were a whole percents and a half off.

03:17:14.300 --> 03:17:19.500
And given that I heard people laughing after I said that, so, unfortunate really. But 17-19

03:17:19.500 --> 03:17:24.020
defensive wins for Shopify Rebellion in the past four plays of Fortress, and I would

03:17:24.020 --> 03:17:29.940
assume no equivalent from Twist and Minds. A little bit more of a poultry, 68% on both

03:17:29.940 --> 03:17:34.460
sides. That's not poultry. That's actually really good, all things considered. But if

03:17:34.460 --> 03:17:38.420
If Shotfire Rebellion can really prove to be that good on these defenses, this might

03:17:38.420 --> 03:17:41.640
just be enough for two rounds, that could certainly be it.

03:17:41.640 --> 03:17:44.620
But a 3-3, and all you need is what?

03:17:44.620 --> 03:17:48.540
To land 50%, not 50% if it's a 3-3 of course.

03:17:48.540 --> 03:17:51.500
But what, 2-3rds, 66% on your defenses?

03:17:51.500 --> 03:17:53.700
That's worse than both the Twisted Minds defensive win rates.

03:17:53.700 --> 03:17:54.700
It is.

03:17:54.700 --> 03:17:59.180
I think the context to throw into that is that Twisted Minds are a very good fortress team.

03:17:59.180 --> 03:18:03.060
So you can kind of take that with a pinch of salt because their attacks are fantastic.

03:18:03.060 --> 03:18:09.260
Whereas the sample size for SR is going to be a little bit more shifted towards teams that maybe aren't as good at that attack inside on Fortress.

03:18:09.260 --> 03:18:12.960
And we all know that Twisted Minds are very capable on this map.

03:18:12.960 --> 03:18:15.460
We've already taken down some formidable opponents.

03:18:15.460 --> 03:18:17.960
Most notably, Enterprise, only a day ago.

03:18:17.960 --> 03:18:22.060
That's where we saw that 7-2 win versus the all Aussie lineup.

03:18:22.060 --> 03:18:25.060
Gave them that spot in the game here today.

03:18:29.060 --> 03:18:32.060
They also took out G2 before that for what it's worth.

03:18:32.060 --> 03:18:37.820
Enterprise obviously great team shout out top eight. They also took down g2. I feel like that's worth mentioning

03:18:37.820 --> 03:18:41.700
Don't want to bury the lead as you said yesterday. I don't want I don't want to

03:18:42.020 --> 03:18:45.820
I'm gonna cast for the Brit. I need to work on the slang. I need to work on the pronunciation

03:18:46.460 --> 03:18:51.700
And hopefully we've not worked on the mouse's the mouse bug has been solved and hopefully now

03:18:51.940 --> 03:18:54.620
We are looking to get back into the series

03:18:54.620 --> 03:19:03.220
As it stands, 2-3 for Shopify Rebellion just looking for one more round on this attacking

03:19:03.220 --> 03:19:04.220
side.

03:19:04.220 --> 03:19:10.820
Twisted Minds have held off formidably this entire series, even on that 8-7 loss on Lair.

03:19:10.820 --> 03:19:16.220
Now let's try and take the first definitive lead at the half out of this entire best of

03:19:16.220 --> 03:19:17.220
three.

03:19:17.220 --> 03:19:24.940
We've been treated to 3-3 being the side swaps at the halfway point.

03:19:24.940 --> 03:19:26.660
Will this map be any different?

03:19:26.660 --> 03:19:33.100
Tristigmines, they would love to go on their attack in half with a brief lead over Shopify

03:19:33.100 --> 03:19:34.100
Rebellion.

03:19:34.100 --> 03:19:37.740
The tools that are going to be bringing to it, they're just going to be doubling down

03:19:37.740 --> 03:19:39.740
on those pain points.

03:19:39.740 --> 03:19:41.620
Traps, traps, traps.

03:19:41.620 --> 03:19:43.620
That's the order of the day right now.

03:19:43.620 --> 03:19:49.900
And only if we've got Thorne that we've seen already in all but one round, we're now also

03:19:49.900 --> 03:19:55.460
seeing Elby Roar, those Fnats from Fenrir, they could be a nightmare, especially without

03:19:55.460 --> 03:20:00.620
many techy small corridors we've got over on Fortress, and a good old T'Chanket just

03:20:00.620 --> 03:20:04.500
to bring a bit of stability and really zone off those corridors.

03:20:04.500 --> 03:20:09.420
A lot of corridor play on Fortress, it really is very layered once you've got yourself into

03:20:09.420 --> 03:20:12.900
the building, you can't just get into a new corridor in a lot of instances when you're

03:20:12.900 --> 03:20:14.620
trying to attack that top floor.

03:20:14.620 --> 03:20:17.820
This jank can be brilliant for sowning up large portions

03:20:17.820 --> 03:20:19.740
of that map.

03:20:19.740 --> 03:20:22.580
Also reporting out, that was three sets of barbed wire put

03:20:22.580 --> 03:20:24.140
down at the bottom of old tower.

03:20:24.140 --> 03:20:25.820
It's not only good for zoning out positions,

03:20:25.820 --> 03:20:27.420
but in particular that spot.

03:20:27.420 --> 03:20:28.860
If for some reason the rebellion tried

03:20:28.860 --> 03:20:30.300
to go for a direct take down there,

03:20:30.300 --> 03:20:32.540
if you've seen a lot of teams do want to attack this event,

03:20:32.540 --> 03:20:33.700
they could cut that barbed wire.

03:20:33.700 --> 03:20:37.580
That fire is going to envelop their feet

03:20:37.580 --> 03:20:40.340
and likely take down anybody who walks through that position.

03:20:40.340 --> 03:20:42.820
Seems the rebellion has something different in mind, though.

03:20:42.820 --> 03:20:44.820
trying to building around the map.

03:20:44.820 --> 03:20:47.300
Opening up some of the important exterior walls.

03:20:47.300 --> 03:20:49.220
Also getting some important information.

03:20:49.220 --> 03:20:50.740
That Soliton scanner, I believe.

03:20:50.740 --> 03:20:53.380
P9 and JLADs bought it by it.

03:20:53.380 --> 03:20:54.860
I do something else as well.

03:20:54.860 --> 03:20:56.540
Canadian, prepping some utility.

03:20:56.540 --> 03:20:58.180
Again, this might just be a fake.

03:20:58.180 --> 03:20:59.700
Might just be two candelas used

03:20:59.700 --> 03:21:00.740
without any commitment behind it,

03:21:00.740 --> 03:21:04.220
but as we get to three, this is entirely different.

03:21:04.220 --> 03:21:05.940
Canadian catches P9 off guard,

03:21:05.940 --> 03:21:08.740
and he next up onto JLAD.

03:21:08.740 --> 03:21:11.220
Looking for another, finds one,

03:21:11.220 --> 03:21:15.380
And look at him run back down the hallway out of the range of that Salaton scanner

03:21:15.380 --> 03:21:17.340
and joining the rest of the team on site.

03:21:18.840 --> 03:21:21.940
Twisted mind now trying to dig a little bit deeper.

03:21:21.940 --> 03:21:27.240
They've got some utilities to do it, but losing two bodies cleanly on that roam clear

03:21:27.240 --> 03:21:30.480
with very little spent is a big, big problem.

03:21:30.480 --> 03:21:33.560
Yeah, we've seen the Candela's use, but we've not always even seen Canadian get

03:21:33.560 --> 03:21:36.700
chance to use those Candela's and we've still had closed rounds.

03:21:36.700 --> 03:21:39.900
So the fact that he's still got one in pocket, gonna spend that out there now.

03:21:39.900 --> 03:21:44.240
Hash off will get a very important refrike back though, but he's still in hot water.

03:21:44.240 --> 03:21:47.580
Still hot water as Rexxen quickly trades him around the corner.

03:21:48.300 --> 03:21:50.700
Minute ten seconds to go, shot by Rebellion.

03:21:50.940 --> 03:21:53.500
Has its user outside in the single lane now currently.

03:21:54.440 --> 03:21:57.120
Need to go pick that back up unless they want to finish this off.

03:21:57.120 --> 03:21:58.040
Kiro's cards.

03:21:58.380 --> 03:22:00.380
What a big rotate by Kaniyan.

03:22:00.680 --> 03:22:02.320
Oh, just face checks the angle.

03:22:03.260 --> 03:22:04.120
He's ready for it.

03:22:04.620 --> 03:22:09.260
Shotgun tags up guards a little bit now that Malusi quickly sprinted back to site LMG.

03:22:09.900 --> 03:22:12.940
Tracing a player as they walk down the old tower stairs.

03:22:12.940 --> 03:22:16.040
Flashbang sent out intern to keep him at bay.

03:22:16.040 --> 03:22:18.200
Barnes now taking another 1v1.

03:22:18.200 --> 03:22:21.080
Desperately trying to find a successful gunfight.

03:22:21.080 --> 03:22:23.340
He's tried so many at this point.

03:22:23.340 --> 03:22:25.680
He's looked at every player.

03:22:25.680 --> 03:22:32.120
Negligible damage dealt to every single one.

03:22:32.120 --> 03:22:37.620
And after three in a row, the rebellion tie it again.

03:22:39.900 --> 03:22:50.440
when we banned Monty they ramped up the pace a lot and I thought it was giving us more

03:22:50.440 --> 03:22:55.300
trouble which is why they're banned the Blitz so they have to play Monty Pace.

03:22:55.300 --> 03:22:56.300
I think so.

03:22:56.300 --> 03:23:03.340
Okay so let's do Snake and Monty guys, sorry Snake and Blitz, sorry, sorry, sorry, hold

03:23:03.340 --> 03:23:05.340
in a minute, okay.

03:23:05.340 --> 03:23:07.660
So for commands, they showed two different attacks.

03:23:07.660 --> 03:23:08.940
Obviously they could do different,

03:23:08.940 --> 03:23:12.660
but they brought a shield, blue through master,

03:23:12.660 --> 03:23:15.700
ace went breach, gridlock was core store,

03:23:15.700 --> 03:23:17.660
Flores was outside art window,

03:23:17.660 --> 03:23:19.620
and they had a snake working up spiral,

03:23:19.620 --> 03:23:20.820
so that guy could go anybody,

03:23:20.820 --> 03:23:22.860
maybe like a Deimos or a Dokeby.

03:23:22.860 --> 03:23:24.900
They also have a spiral direct.

03:23:24.900 --> 03:23:29.900
For that, they ran Twitch on Catwalk, Grim on ladder,

03:23:29.980 --> 03:23:32.220
Ying, or like above ladder.

03:23:32.220 --> 03:23:34.180
Ying, art window, blitz,

03:23:34.180 --> 03:23:39.180
So probably Monty, Shield and Flora is walking up Spiral, okay?

03:23:39.780 --> 03:23:43.180
Or Bugs, the only attack that we saw from them was a Split.

03:23:43.180 --> 03:23:46.660
It was a Shield dropping ladder, Snake walking up Spiral,

03:23:46.660 --> 03:23:47.920
Ying Art Window.

03:23:49.100 --> 03:23:51.500
But if they turtle and turtle and turtle and turtle,

03:23:51.500 --> 03:23:54.940
okay, let's remember to bring some operator to YouTube.

03:23:54.940 --> 03:23:59.440
Ying, Norm, it's Captain, whatever.

03:23:59.440 --> 03:24:00.940
I forgot the name of the legend.

03:24:00.940 --> 03:24:02.940
Oh

03:24:30.940 --> 03:24:33.760
Yeah, I'll do that.

03:24:33.760 --> 03:24:36.380
Yeah, I'll do that.

03:24:41.560 --> 03:24:45.340
Another tide half, three maps in a row.

03:24:45.340 --> 03:24:50.340
Having an OT on each one, but at least for this first bout,

03:24:50.340 --> 03:24:52.240
through every single map of this series,

03:24:52.240 --> 03:24:55.840
neither one able to acquire a decisive lead.

03:24:55.840 --> 03:24:59.360
So a shot by Rebellion moved the defenses, and twisted mine,

03:24:59.360 --> 03:25:02.080
Move to their attacking side.

03:25:02.080 --> 03:25:05.920
They try to level things up.

03:25:05.920 --> 03:25:07.920
Ooh, I thought maybe we'd get the double

03:25:07.920 --> 03:25:10.360
hard reach to now, Ben, but no, it is instead

03:25:10.360 --> 03:25:12.360
Snake and Blitz taken down.

03:25:12.360 --> 03:25:14.400
And Ali, these are two operators that twisted minds

03:25:14.400 --> 03:25:18.080
play so much on every single one of their attacks.

03:25:18.080 --> 03:25:21.000
Yeah, it ties into the timeout that SuperGay was, you know,

03:25:21.000 --> 03:25:22.840
ban the Snake, ban the Blitz.

03:25:22.840 --> 03:25:25.800
The theory behind it for everyone in the arena that didn't hear it

03:25:25.800 --> 03:25:28.680
is, of course, that the Rebellion are much happier

03:25:28.680 --> 03:25:31.480
with them dealing with a Monty pace in a Blitz pace.

03:25:31.480 --> 03:25:36.680
So on Clubhouse where we had Blitz and Garg just running through site setups

03:25:36.680 --> 03:25:39.320
because they're Blitz and they can do it because they're a little bit quicker,

03:25:39.320 --> 03:25:42.840
they're a bit easier to, you know, mobile the way through.

03:25:42.840 --> 03:25:45.080
It's getting much more difficult to do that on a Monty.

03:25:45.080 --> 03:25:48.200
And I don't think that that's going to be something that really twisted minds are even

03:25:48.200 --> 03:25:50.200
going to attempt at least for this first round.

03:25:50.200 --> 03:25:51.880
We've not seen the Monty locked in.

03:25:51.880 --> 03:25:53.960
It wouldn't be unusual to even play the shield,

03:25:53.960 --> 03:25:57.480
but I think the Blitz band is brilliant because it just picks away at something

03:25:57.480 --> 03:26:01.000
that twisted minds they'd exceptionally well at, Uncle House.

03:26:02.280 --> 03:26:05.840
It is a good lead by Shopify Rebellion on the flip side.

03:26:05.840 --> 03:26:08.000
Kate and Mere being taken down, two operators at.

03:26:08.000 --> 03:26:11.320
Sure go to the heart of Shopify Rebellion's defensive strategy.

03:26:11.320 --> 03:26:15.880
But also two operators be banned so often on so many of these maps.

03:26:17.560 --> 03:26:21.000
It is not really going to throw the rebellion off guard, I think.

03:26:21.000 --> 03:26:24.360
Because when you look at what they have, it is still quite a comfortable lineup.

03:26:24.360 --> 03:26:26.680
Not only for the rebellion, but again, in general.

03:26:26.680 --> 03:26:33.180
A couple trap operators, a couple time denial with the smoke and the Goyo being brought by Shopify Rebellion.

03:26:33.180 --> 03:26:39.180
And then of course you have an M14, a Rooney, it's contractionally obligated. They literally have to bring a DMR.

03:26:40.680 --> 03:26:46.180
I mean if you don't bring a DMR at the moment on defense, you're pretty much throwing because they are genuinely that good.

03:26:47.180 --> 03:26:53.180
It's an incredible uptake from the use of DMRs, particularly since they kept hold of the ACOG.

03:26:53.180 --> 03:26:59.180
It can be a brilliant tool to really affect some of those longer angles that you will find.

03:26:59.180 --> 03:27:02.180
Fortress, again not being a map that's a stranger to a long angle.

03:27:02.180 --> 03:27:06.180
Once things start to get open on that top floor you can really cut through it.

03:27:06.180 --> 03:27:08.180
So good early U-Tow clear here from J-Lad.

03:27:08.180 --> 03:27:11.180
It can be on the Twitch just seeing what he can find is target.

03:27:11.180 --> 03:27:16.180
Lightly going to be some of that Goyo and that Ella utility.

03:27:16.180 --> 03:27:18.180
Trying to clear the way for Garves.

03:27:18.180 --> 03:27:21.180
Whereas we would have seen that be a blitz previously.

03:27:21.180 --> 03:27:27.740
This time it's a Monty and Rebellion they feel more comfortable dealing with that. Let's see if that actually is the case

03:27:29.380 --> 03:27:31.380
You can see it in theory with the slower pace

03:27:31.380 --> 03:27:32.820
But as you pointed out

03:27:32.820 --> 03:27:36.500
I imagine guards can still get a bit quick with that shield even if slower than the blitz

03:27:36.780 --> 03:27:38.780
So many barricades on this side of the map

03:27:39.180 --> 03:27:41.980
Gonna give rebellion good information for where

03:27:42.980 --> 03:27:44.820
Bottom a shot drone as well

03:27:44.820 --> 03:27:49.420
likely indicate to ambi that maybe this could just be utility clear on one side

03:27:49.420 --> 03:27:53.660
it could be rotating could be pushing from old tower p9 conversely

03:27:53.660 --> 03:27:58.660
human tricks both right outside the site instead pushing from tower itself and

03:27:58.660 --> 03:28:03.740
looking to bring in this other element of the attack these two concurrent pieces

03:28:03.740 --> 03:28:08.780
and squish the defense between them ready for that play new ambi was gonna go

03:28:08.780 --> 03:28:14.460
for it. A zone barbed wire telegraphing that play. Sir, so focused on the other angle.

03:28:14.460 --> 03:28:19.980
So worried about the Deimos. Goes down in the process. Another rebellion. Fight back with two.

03:28:21.020 --> 03:28:27.980
It is equal on both sides. An equivalent exchange that just solidifies twisted mind's advantage.

03:28:27.980 --> 03:28:35.740
Spoint spotting one above. Stacked up above the boxes. Just slightly cuts off some hair.

03:28:35.740 --> 03:28:38.780
Shaves his head, and now down to do a 1v2.

03:28:39.980 --> 03:28:41.980
Shome's gotta cover JLAD in this diffuser.

03:28:43.100 --> 03:28:47.940
Waiting so patiently, JLAD will pop up for a second, but they have 25 seconds to play with.

03:28:48.980 --> 03:28:50.340
They can try and bait out Spoight.

03:28:50.940 --> 03:28:55.100
They can try to see what he's gonna do, as the Ella commits, as he swings around the corner.

03:28:55.100 --> 03:28:57.340
He's softened up JLAD quite a bit.

03:28:57.660 --> 03:29:01.420
But Trax's thing was on one side, so low HP, so little time.

03:29:02.260 --> 03:29:04.260
Where's he gonna go? Where's he gonna commit?

03:29:04.260 --> 03:29:09.540
That's one player around the corner, and they're just barely dodging these angles to take the long-angled fight.

03:29:09.540 --> 03:29:11.300
Try to beat it out!

03:29:11.300 --> 03:29:17.860
Who the hit-fire had shot on one HP spoilt just needs one!

03:29:17.860 --> 03:29:28.860
Good night, and good luck.

03:29:28.860 --> 03:29:33.860
Shopify Rebellion, retake the lead.

03:29:33.860 --> 03:29:54.140
What a time for the fight to show up.

03:29:54.140 --> 03:29:55.140
Round seven.

03:29:55.140 --> 03:30:01.920
and a one versus three for his troubles.

03:30:01.920 --> 03:30:06.960
Navigated to perfection.

03:30:06.960 --> 03:30:11.960
And Sean pretty disconnect.

03:30:11.960 --> 03:30:17.520
Just flat looking the wrong way on Bridlop.

03:30:17.520 --> 03:30:21.120
He's gonna be stuck out and you can see half of the body.

03:30:21.120 --> 03:30:24.240
This is what he swings the corner.

03:30:24.240 --> 03:30:32.740
We said earlier, spoiler of the quiet series, even if that's his only contribution, it's enough or it could be,

03:30:32.740 --> 03:30:35.240
depending on how these next rounds go.

03:30:35.240 --> 03:30:41.740
I mentioned already, the Rebellion, a fantastic eye-watering defensive win rate on this map.

03:30:42.740 --> 03:30:45.240
But it hasn't always come from clutches like that.

03:30:45.740 --> 03:30:50.240
It's been teamwork, synergy, good coms.

03:30:50.240 --> 03:30:57.000
If that's what they can do on a bad day, I want to see what they can do on a good round.

03:30:57.000 --> 03:31:03.100
On round one, the only thing that separated Shopify Rebellion and Twisted Minds was one

03:31:03.100 --> 03:31:04.100
round.

03:31:04.100 --> 03:31:05.600
Just one round.

03:31:05.600 --> 03:31:06.600
Three minutes.

03:31:06.600 --> 03:31:07.600
Five kills.

03:31:07.600 --> 03:31:13.320
Barely anything to take notice of in the grand scheme of things, but in games like that,

03:31:13.320 --> 03:31:17.840
if you can get a player that buys you a round by sheer force of will, that can make the

03:31:17.840 --> 03:31:22.800
difference with how close this game has been. If Shopify Rebellion become the

03:31:22.800 --> 03:31:28.920
team, channel that defensive energy that you pointed out in 89.5 defensive win

03:31:28.920 --> 03:31:34.520
rate in their past four plays of Fortress. That round might still be the

03:31:34.520 --> 03:31:39.280
difference maker in what has been one of the closest series we've seen in all of

03:31:39.280 --> 03:31:45.360
Salt Lake City. Garth, moving down tower with fire in his way. There's nothing he

03:31:45.360 --> 03:31:48.680
he can do, he understands he can't retake that position.

03:31:48.680 --> 03:31:52.120
Jobfire, Bellion will fall off in turn, reinforce off.

03:31:52.120 --> 03:31:55.800
As the Deimos and Monty join forces to begin this round clear.

03:31:57.800 --> 03:31:59.920
Really good extension there from SR.

03:31:59.920 --> 03:32:01.560
Not committing too heavily to it.

03:32:01.560 --> 03:32:02.960
Low pocket reinforcement,

03:32:02.960 --> 03:32:05.040
and they can immediately block that off.

03:32:05.040 --> 03:32:06.480
Spoits.

03:32:06.480 --> 03:32:08.280
Looking to finish where he left off here

03:32:08.280 --> 03:32:11.000
as he's keeping his close eye on the hoppin.

03:32:11.000 --> 03:32:12.480
Lions can always a good indicator

03:32:12.480 --> 03:32:14.080
that something's gonna start happening.

03:32:14.080 --> 03:32:16.080
He's gonna be jailed. Let's take a little bit of damage there.

03:32:16.080 --> 03:32:19.080
It's Canadian to put him down in the dead.

03:32:19.080 --> 03:32:21.080
But it's Spotted to finish him off.

03:32:21.080 --> 03:32:23.080
Nimpac grenade.

03:32:23.080 --> 03:32:27.080
IGL setting up his team, but Spoit will lose his life for it.

03:32:27.080 --> 03:32:32.080
Tricks from outside, punishes the Ella for his insolence.

03:32:32.080 --> 03:32:36.080
So Twisted Minds aren't quite in the disadvantage they once were.

03:32:36.080 --> 03:32:38.080
Only a minute to go.

03:32:38.080 --> 03:32:42.080
Two minutes been spent getting this control, but they have made it progressively closer to the site.

03:32:42.080 --> 03:32:47.080
More Razor Blooms go off, some damage dealt to this attacking team, but still a little bit of work to do.

03:32:48.080 --> 03:32:52.080
God's trying to bear down on the Monty now, but the Utility's just keeping him at bay.

03:32:52.080 --> 03:32:56.080
Vulcan packs. That's going to be enough to burn at least 15 seconds.

03:32:56.080 --> 03:33:00.080
And even then he's going to push in and see what Rexon's staring straight at him.

03:33:00.080 --> 03:33:05.080
Again, it's not like he's playing the Blitz. It's not like Clubhouse where he can just ignore that and push through.

03:33:05.080 --> 03:33:11.080
He's calling for his team. Toxic Baycasses now coming. It just furthers the problem links.

03:33:11.080 --> 03:33:16.640
Issue compounding on top of issue for twisted minds Shopify rebellion just playing the game

03:33:16.640 --> 03:33:20.320
They love to based off utility based off teamwork and the

03:33:30.280 --> 03:33:32.280
Knife to the chest

03:33:36.760 --> 03:33:40.080
The rebellion now two rounds in the lead

03:33:41.080 --> 03:33:48.000
Canadian rolling back the years there first and last kill in round number six

03:33:48.000 --> 03:33:55.480
eight. Let's just a bit you guys what we did in the first round is right let's

03:33:55.480 --> 03:33:59.680
keep controlling the map split each one and go the one side now will be

03:33:59.680 --> 03:34:05.280
kitchen you guys want to do the vertical one horizontal I think yeah okay with

03:34:05.280 --> 03:34:21.280
This is the game that you're playing, you're going to play in the Landry, and I'm playing in Shawar, and you're going to play in Fog, and you're going to play in Trixid, and you're going to play in Trixid's music, right?

03:34:21.280 --> 03:34:23.280
Oh

03:34:43.000 --> 03:34:47.600
Twisted mind's taking a breather as Shopify rebellion now have not just three

03:34:47.600 --> 03:34:54.040
But five rounds in a row across two different sides. They have won both primary defensive sites

03:34:54.040 --> 03:35:00.400
And as predicted in the tack timeout, but I think a reasonable prediction for anybody to make it will likely be kitchen as

03:35:00.520 --> 03:35:03.040
The third site for Shopify rebellion

03:35:03.440 --> 03:35:10.320
It's always the tertiary one. We see defensive teams go to Ali to twisted minds thinking a lot about what they want to do for this one

03:35:10.320 --> 03:35:17.000
It's time to lock in. They really need to understand how they want to approach these

03:35:17.000 --> 03:35:23.400
next couple of rounds. Five rounds in a row. Side hasn't really played too much of a factor.

03:35:23.400 --> 03:35:28.240
Passed the time out from Super by the way. The rebellion have not lost a round since

03:35:28.240 --> 03:35:32.000
round number three and it was the end of round number three but we heard the tactical time

03:35:32.000 --> 03:35:36.160
out. They were incredibly effective. Yes, you've got a side swap thrown in there,

03:35:36.160 --> 03:35:42.000
onto a side that they are very favorite at. But they're still going out there and doing the business.

03:35:42.000 --> 03:35:45.120
They're still getting monster shields put in the face. They've still got Deathmarch

03:35:45.120 --> 03:35:49.280
trackers. They've still got these thrown out. They are still going out there and putting in the work.

03:35:54.160 --> 03:35:57.840
You can see the rebellion locked in with smiles starting to appear on their face when it has

03:35:57.840 --> 03:36:02.920
been tense in the Shotfire Rebellion and paddocks up until this point. Maybe just allowing themselves

03:36:02.920 --> 03:36:08.280
a little bit of joy in what has always been quite a stoic, quite a dedicated, but very

03:36:08.280 --> 03:36:14.680
whole team. You've seen Canadian get loud when the moment arises. I imagine if Shotfire

03:36:14.680 --> 03:36:19.480
Rebellion make the grand final tomorrow, we will see him electric as he's always been.

03:36:19.480 --> 03:36:25.120
It's been, I think, four years since Canadians been in a grand final. All the way back in

03:36:25.120 --> 03:36:32.640
Charlotte when dark zero at the time led by Canadian won the Charlotte Major and it has been a long time

03:36:33.240 --> 03:36:40.520
Since Canadian has been there since then in that time these coasts last m80 have risen then fallen risen then fallen again

03:36:41.800 --> 03:36:48.600
Brazil took over Brazil starts falling by the way side of space the only ones that remain so much seed has occurred in four years

03:36:48.600 --> 03:36:53.200
years and it just shot by rebellion can net two more rounds.

03:36:53.600 --> 03:36:55.500
They'll be like no time has passed at all.

03:36:58.800 --> 03:37:00.800
Login on phone calls trying to open things up here.

03:37:00.800 --> 03:37:03.800
Then at four twisted minds, they are still trying this

03:37:03.800 --> 03:37:04.300
Monty.

03:37:04.400 --> 03:37:07.600
They are still trying to gain control and they are still

03:37:07.600 --> 03:37:09.500
facing the same old tricks.

03:37:09.800 --> 03:37:13.600
Smoke canisters keeping them at bay, not able to progress,

03:37:13.600 --> 03:37:16.400
not able to gain that map presence that we know that

03:37:16.400 --> 03:37:21.440
can work exceptionally well with when they get it. But they're going to have to do something

03:37:21.440 --> 03:37:25.120
about the positioning of these two players right now. You've got small and Canadian both

03:37:25.120 --> 03:37:30.760
just batting them back at the fringe. Gods, he's got loads of information, but he's no

03:37:30.760 --> 03:37:34.160
real way of doing anything about it. He's going to need a little bit of support here

03:37:34.160 --> 03:37:36.320
to come in through that Hamam room.

03:37:36.320 --> 03:37:40.960
Where is that support going to come from? That's the issue I think I'm seeing right

03:37:40.960 --> 03:37:46.000
now because sure you've got the dopey calls, but what's the next Othermix going to do?

03:37:46.000 --> 03:37:51.360
It's an F2 going to do on its own. You've got a lot of secondary utility, tons of smokes, in fact.

03:37:51.360 --> 03:37:55.780
But not a lot of that powerful primary utility we normally see for the attacking team.

03:37:55.780 --> 03:37:58.680
Spoil with a trade, not with the player he's killed.

03:37:58.680 --> 03:38:01.180
That's honestly kind of good, all things considered.

03:38:01.180 --> 03:38:05.920
The Monty goes down? That is huge for Shopify Rebellion.

03:38:07.800 --> 03:38:12.440
Taking all the pace out there. Attack hasn't it? Jailite now left to try and move through main hall.

03:38:12.440 --> 03:38:14.560
See if there's anyone they can find on the periphery.

03:38:14.560 --> 03:38:18.720
while on the default cam and again it just looks like there's a lack of information right now

03:38:18.720 --> 03:38:23.120
for the side of Twisted Minds players inside of the side they can already start turning their

03:38:23.120 --> 03:38:28.000
attention and they have got information themselves Rexon knows exactly where J-Lad is

03:38:28.000 --> 03:38:31.600
going to be positioned at the minute doesn't need to do anything there's nothing that he's going to

03:38:31.600 --> 03:38:35.520
make a player move with the remaining utility that Twisted Minds have.

03:38:37.120 --> 03:38:41.600
Does have to win this off-gun fight. Twisted Minds have proven they can do it. They've done

03:38:41.600 --> 03:38:44.400
on his time and time again through Salt Lake City.

03:38:44.400 --> 03:38:46.060
Ambi has two.

03:38:46.060 --> 03:38:48.480
We've seen round after round, kill after kill,

03:38:48.480 --> 03:38:50.440
moment after moment.

03:38:50.440 --> 03:38:52.680
Ambi gets one in round nine.

03:38:52.680 --> 03:38:54.240
The Chopped Fire Rebellion.

03:38:54.240 --> 03:38:56.040
The 15 seconds to go.

03:38:56.040 --> 03:38:58.080
Need three more to push us up.

03:38:58.080 --> 03:38:59.600
Six to three.

03:38:59.600 --> 03:39:03.360
Canadian winding back the years.

03:39:03.360 --> 03:39:04.640
Tripped.

03:39:04.640 --> 03:39:05.680
Can you find that?

03:39:07.680 --> 03:39:09.800
Could you find the kill?

03:39:09.800 --> 03:39:15.200
If your tournament depends on it, six in a row.

03:39:15.200 --> 03:39:19.600
The Rebellion, one away from a grand final.

03:39:19.600 --> 03:39:45.600
All you need is one round, this is six rounds in a row here.

03:39:45.600 --> 03:40:03.160
They're believing.

03:40:03.160 --> 03:40:05.200
Six in a row.

03:40:05.200 --> 03:40:06.880
Six rounds in a row, Olly.

03:40:06.880 --> 03:40:14.600
He's getting to the point of twisted minds where you start thinking how many more times

03:40:14.600 --> 03:40:19.160
They're gonna bang their head against the same wall before we see something change

03:40:20.040 --> 03:40:22.760
Again, it's the Monty and again

03:40:23.560 --> 03:40:30.440
How are they going to deal with the most basic of utility taking control of the map 10 seconds to go

03:40:31.800 --> 03:40:33.240
The lineup

03:40:33.240 --> 03:40:35.000
Has to go where it takes

03:40:35.000 --> 03:40:39.320
Yeah, they might be able to replay us out, but SR have already proven they're happy to play dug in

03:40:39.320 --> 03:40:43.000
They don't need to move, Rex and Belly moved the whole last round.

03:40:43.000 --> 03:40:45.000
Still came way in the football kills.

03:40:46.760 --> 03:40:50.920
It just feels like the tide has turned in this series.

03:40:50.920 --> 03:40:55.560
And considering that map one was an 8-7, map two a 7-5,

03:40:55.560 --> 03:40:59.160
it just doesn't feel like fortress is going to be as close.

03:41:01.880 --> 03:41:03.400
It's starting to feel that way.

03:41:03.400 --> 03:41:06.520
The twisted minds struggling more and more.

03:41:06.520 --> 03:41:13.520
They haven't won around in, what, 15, 18, 20 minutes?

03:41:13.520 --> 03:41:17.520
Conceived time on one map. That is ancient history.

03:41:17.520 --> 03:41:22.520
It's only been rebellion victories in recent history.

03:41:22.520 --> 03:41:31.520
The shuttle opens up an angle and tries to rat, and surf makes him pay for it.

03:41:36.520 --> 03:41:38.680
No response from the opening pick, Husham.

03:41:38.680 --> 03:41:39.960
Blocking their side.

03:41:39.960 --> 03:41:41.960
They're a quiet supply here on Forge.

03:41:41.960 --> 03:41:43.960
That's what it's massive the most.

03:41:43.960 --> 03:41:45.960
Guards trying to make something happen.

03:41:45.960 --> 03:41:47.080
He's got the read.

03:41:47.080 --> 03:41:48.920
He's just got another softsie favorite.

03:41:48.920 --> 03:41:50.280
He's seeing it.

03:41:50.280 --> 03:41:52.280
Back at Alien.

03:41:56.120 --> 03:41:58.120
Just completely shut down.

03:41:59.880 --> 03:42:05.080
J-Lad tagged up P9, finding Canadian.

03:42:06.520 --> 03:42:08.520
Silencing the crowd for the moment.

03:42:08.520 --> 03:42:11.240
The twisted minds look to be going for a direct take.

03:42:11.240 --> 03:42:15.320
Ali with struggling in the mid-round will bring it to a pause.

03:42:17.800 --> 03:42:19.240
They've removed the pace out of the round now,

03:42:19.240 --> 03:42:21.080
recognising that it's still winnable.

03:42:21.080 --> 03:42:23.240
They're still not in a terrible position at the moment.

03:42:24.040 --> 03:42:26.040
But SR are in arguably the best position.

03:42:26.040 --> 03:42:27.720
They're agile, they're leader.

03:42:27.720 --> 03:42:28.680
They've sat back watching.

03:42:28.680 --> 03:42:32.120
Canadian can just move the chess pieces as he sees fit here.

03:42:32.120 --> 03:42:33.880
And they've got them on advantage.

03:42:33.880 --> 03:42:36.680
That should, in itself, be enough to work with.

03:42:38.280 --> 03:42:39.680
That should be enough.

03:42:40.480 --> 03:42:43.880
Directing his team, directing Ambi.

03:42:44.280 --> 03:42:47.280
A man who has needed no introduction.

03:42:48.080 --> 03:42:52.080
A man who does so much for Shopify Rebellion.

03:42:53.080 --> 03:42:56.480
But it is the team, it is the rebellion

03:42:57.280 --> 03:43:02.280
that have kept twisted minds at bay for two minutes and twenty seconds.

03:43:02.280 --> 03:43:04.280
And it is the rebellion!

03:43:04.280 --> 03:43:09.280
You've pleaded that this is no real insulting city!

03:43:09.280 --> 03:43:15.280
North America make a grand final and the rebellion will be live!

03:43:17.280 --> 03:43:22.280
As modernization this weekend has been a deep plunge into the darkness.

03:43:22.280 --> 03:43:26.280
For a star this is uncharted territory.

03:43:26.280 --> 03:43:31.280
The first time, as I know, they will make a main stage and with that win,

03:43:31.280 --> 03:43:34.280
they'll put a spot in the grand finals tomorrow.

03:43:36.280 --> 03:43:41.280
It's been a long journey for this roster and while they do have major winners,

03:43:43.280 --> 03:43:46.280
it will be a long time since we've seen them lift the trophy.

03:43:50.280 --> 03:43:54.280
It has been so long since we have seen the rebellion,

03:43:54.280 --> 03:43:58.120
since we've seen Canadian in a moment like this

03:43:58.120 --> 03:44:00.720
with a grand final tomorrow.

03:44:00.720 --> 03:44:02.000
And either way, you've caught it.

03:44:02.000 --> 03:44:05.080
Could fight his old team for the trophy,

03:44:05.080 --> 03:44:08.640
or could fight the two-time world champions

03:44:08.640 --> 03:44:12.080
in a duel to the death in Salt Lake City.

03:44:13.440 --> 03:44:16.680
A massive performance for Shababai Rebellion,

03:44:16.680 --> 03:44:19.120
a big moment for North America,

03:44:19.120 --> 03:44:22.600
and a big moment for one man in particular.

03:44:22.600 --> 03:44:29.580
And I do believe we have that man on stage in Ian. It is Canadian that I want to hear from right now

03:44:35.380 --> 03:44:37.380
So let's see

03:44:37.620 --> 03:44:44.520
We give flowers to legends while they're still doing what they love make some noise for Canadian

03:44:52.600 --> 03:45:04.840
He's shot down the USA, Canadian, you're a legend up here, but this roster, everything

03:45:04.840 --> 03:45:08.480
seems to be clicking at the right time.

03:45:08.480 --> 03:45:09.480
What's happening here?

03:45:09.480 --> 03:45:14.520
I'm going to be honest, I don't think any of us really know what it was.

03:45:14.520 --> 03:45:20.280
I think, I think we actually got this somewhere during this takeoff stage.

03:45:20.280 --> 03:45:25.880
I think he's got so much like negative feedback and just like he finally became an underdog.

03:45:25.880 --> 03:45:30.880
And I think a switch put in us of not playing with so much pressure and playing to prove

03:45:30.880 --> 03:45:34.280
people wrong rather than, you know, we deserve to win.

03:45:34.280 --> 03:45:37.880
We deserve to be like as good as people expect.

03:45:37.880 --> 03:45:42.440
And we played like we have to prove that point and we play with the belief in each other

03:45:42.440 --> 03:45:44.640
that we believe we're that good.

03:45:44.640 --> 03:45:46.680
No one else believes it, but we believe it.

03:45:46.680 --> 03:45:51.160
And we play like that now, and I think ever since then it hasn't gone bad.

03:45:51.160 --> 03:45:55.920
On a personal level, it seems like you are rolling back the years.

03:45:55.920 --> 03:45:58.800
It's like you stepped into a time machine.

03:45:58.800 --> 03:46:04.080
How are you doing this at this level, at this point in your career?

03:46:04.080 --> 03:46:10.440
I'm off and on, I'm still getting smoked, but I mean, the guys are just absolutely thriving

03:46:10.440 --> 03:46:11.440
though.

03:46:11.440 --> 03:46:12.440
I think we're playing great as a team.

03:46:12.440 --> 03:46:14.640
I think our coaching staff is incredible too.

03:46:14.640 --> 03:46:18.960
the amount of prep work we've done and like how much less stressful it's made it for me,

03:46:19.680 --> 03:46:23.920
you know, compared to pass here that I've had to deal with, with like doing so much extra work,

03:46:23.920 --> 03:46:29.600
I think it lets me just focus on how I'm going to call on like what I want to focus on and not

03:46:29.600 --> 03:46:35.760
being too stressed out. But I don't know, I just signed like competing then. I think it's until,

03:46:35.760 --> 03:46:40.160
until I really feel like I can't do it, or there's something else I want to do that I want to

03:46:40.160 --> 03:46:44.160
prioritize. I'm going to do it. I love doing this. I love being a part of the team. I mean,

03:46:44.160 --> 03:46:47.400
I mean, there's nothing more rewarding than, you know,

03:46:47.400 --> 03:46:48.640
thankless work and hard for this.

03:46:48.640 --> 03:46:53.120
And I mean, yeah, like getting back to this stage,

03:46:53.120 --> 03:46:54.960
getting back to a grand finals,

03:46:55.960 --> 03:46:57.560
it's not something I take for granted

03:46:57.560 --> 03:46:58.600
and just competing in general.

03:46:58.600 --> 03:47:00.640
It's not something I take for granted and never will.

03:47:00.640 --> 03:47:04.840
So I think you're making me quite nostalgic as well

03:47:04.840 --> 03:47:06.880
because the last time we stood together

03:47:06.880 --> 03:47:09.920
in a situation like this was 2022,

03:47:09.920 --> 03:47:12.360
the Charlotte Major, you're back in North America,

03:47:12.360 --> 03:47:13.760
Another grand final.

03:47:13.760 --> 03:47:15.960
Can you do it again?

03:47:15.960 --> 03:47:17.000
I mean, this guy's the limit.

03:47:17.000 --> 03:47:18.400
Obviously, nothing's going to be easy.

03:47:18.400 --> 03:47:20.360
Nothing's granted.

03:47:20.360 --> 03:47:23.720
But we know we're capable of being any team as long as we

03:47:23.720 --> 03:47:27.040
show up and do our due diligence and play as a team

03:47:27.040 --> 03:47:29.160
and believe in each other and play with confidence.

03:47:29.160 --> 03:47:30.200
We're capable of anything.

03:47:30.200 --> 03:47:30.960
We all know that.

03:47:30.960 --> 03:47:34.320
So I'm not going to get ahead of ourselves.

03:47:34.320 --> 03:47:37.560
But we're not going to be no pushover tomorrow,

03:47:37.560 --> 03:47:38.760
that's for sure.

03:47:38.760 --> 03:47:40.040
All right, Salt Lake City.

03:47:40.040 --> 03:47:50.040
One more time for Canadian and Shopify Rebellion, your grand finalist, the Liz Nature!

03:48:10.040 --> 03:48:12.040
I

03:54:40.040 --> 03:54:59.480
It's official, we've got a North American team in the Salt Lake City Major grand final.

03:54:59.480 --> 03:55:05.800
Shopify rebellion locked and loaded in position waiting to find out who they will face off

03:55:05.800 --> 03:55:08.760
against in Championship Sunday.

03:55:08.760 --> 03:55:13.320
My name's Ian Chambers alongside Fox, and lacks the crowd,

03:55:13.320 --> 03:55:14.960
nearly blew the roof off this place.

03:55:14.960 --> 03:55:17.720
Fox, what a reaction, and warrants it as well, wasn't it?

03:55:17.720 --> 03:55:20.880
I mean, well-deserved, to win seven rounds in a row.

03:55:20.880 --> 03:55:22.440
That's something that you don't see every day.

03:55:22.440 --> 03:55:23.720
I mean, I was getting a little nervous

03:55:23.720 --> 03:55:26.960
as a North American fan to see twisted minds go up 3-0,

03:55:26.960 --> 03:55:30.320
but fortress defense, the fact that they tied up 3-3

03:55:30.320 --> 03:55:32.920
once a sideswap at that point, it was lights out.

03:55:32.920 --> 03:55:35.200
I mean, we have to look at this round specifically.

03:55:35.200 --> 03:55:37.520
Round seven, this is the momentum shift

03:55:37.520 --> 03:55:40.240
that all of rebellion needed to be able to, like you say,

03:55:40.240 --> 03:55:42.200
to bring those seven rounds into their favor,

03:55:42.200 --> 03:55:44.840
to close out this series, to put them in a grand final.

03:55:44.840 --> 03:55:47.720
Spoight, what an incredible clutch.

03:55:47.720 --> 03:55:51.600
A 3v1 able to bring it down to that nail biter,

03:55:51.600 --> 03:55:53.480
where we weren't sure what was going to happen,

03:55:53.480 --> 03:55:55.740
and he absolutely delivered.

03:55:55.740 --> 03:55:56.580
I mean, he sure did.

03:55:56.580 --> 03:55:57.960
That was the final nail in the coffin.

03:55:57.960 --> 03:55:59.600
I truly do believe at that point,

03:55:59.600 --> 03:56:01.120
first round on sideswap,

03:56:01.120 --> 03:56:03.120
you're shutting down twisted minds like that.

03:56:03.120 --> 03:56:05.480
At that point, very difficult emotionally

03:56:05.480 --> 03:56:06.320
to come back from it.

03:56:06.320 --> 03:56:07.220
But when you look at the scoreboard,

03:56:07.220 --> 03:56:09.660
I mean, at the end of the day, the whole team showed up.

03:56:09.660 --> 03:56:11.820
But again, Ambi has been consistent.

03:56:11.820 --> 03:56:13.540
Listen, outside of just focusing on the players,

03:56:13.540 --> 03:56:14.980
one second, I do want to reel it back in.

03:56:14.980 --> 03:56:16.780
I want to focus on Super.

03:56:16.780 --> 03:56:20.500
Seth has done such a phenomenal job in his coaching.

03:56:20.500 --> 03:56:22.340
Every time we heard those timeouts,

03:56:22.340 --> 03:56:25.300
he was so concise and particular

03:56:25.300 --> 03:56:27.820
about what he wanted to convey to his teammates.

03:56:27.820 --> 03:56:29.940
And every single time after those timeouts,

03:56:29.940 --> 03:56:32.860
you would immediately see the shift in the momentum

03:56:32.860 --> 03:56:35.340
and the change in the team and how they were performed.

03:56:35.340 --> 03:56:41.240
So definitely big hats off to super hats off to super canadian gave a lot of hype there to the coaching staff as well

03:56:41.340 --> 03:56:47.980
And look it's always nice to see it officially locked in one grand finalist in position

03:56:48.500 --> 03:56:49.660
rebellion

03:56:49.660 --> 03:56:52.620
Hey, baby. Oh you like that. Yeah, of course

03:56:52.620 --> 03:56:55.580
I mean that's about time I finally can say Anna is in a grand final

03:56:55.580 --> 03:57:00.980
Can we just give some commiserations as well to the history makers in twisted minds they leave here with their heads held high

03:57:00.980 --> 03:57:03.820
I mean they performed exceptionally well at the end of the day

03:57:03.820 --> 03:57:07.120
Farthest they've ever been as a region as a whole that being said

03:57:07.120 --> 03:57:12.680
I'm sure we'll see them down the line coming to more events and a lot of people were sleeping on them and they came to play

03:57:12.680 --> 03:57:14.040
They delivered the end of the day

03:57:14.040 --> 03:57:18.400
There's a little bit of an experience difference when you're going up against Shopify with Canadian on the IGL

03:57:18.400 --> 03:57:20.760
So the end of the day they performed exceptionally well

03:57:20.760 --> 03:57:22.800
I mean nobody wants to lose once you get this close

03:57:22.800 --> 03:57:26.040
But the fact of the matter is they have worked their asses off

03:57:26.040 --> 03:57:32.560
They were absolutely so deserving to be here and they gave us quite the show to watch and they should be leaving here with their heads held high

03:57:32.560 --> 03:57:37.720
And I have no doubt that we are gonna see them in the future. Hey, that's the only one semi-final done

03:57:37.720 --> 03:57:39.720
Let's get on to the next one

03:57:39.720 --> 03:58:01.720
You know who? Dark. Dark Zera DZ

03:58:01.720 --> 03:58:03.720
another NA team looking to step

03:58:03.720 --> 03:58:05.720
forward and see if they can make

03:58:05.720 --> 03:58:07.720
it an all NA grand final. But

03:58:07.720 --> 03:58:14.280
phase plan. The best team in the world are in the building and I think it's important here,

03:58:14.280 --> 03:58:20.600
Lax, to not, I guess like, not take these guys for granted because there might not be the flashiest

03:58:20.600 --> 03:58:25.640
team in the world. There might not be the loudest team in the world, but they are proven time and

03:58:25.640 --> 03:58:31.400
time again that they are the best and as a neutral you can sit back, relax and know for a fact that

03:58:31.400 --> 03:58:35.080
you are about to see some magnificent scenes played out. They don't need to be flashy. Two

03:58:35.080 --> 03:58:38.980
Two hammers says more than enough when they walk in, they make an appearance, they make

03:58:38.980 --> 03:58:41.140
a presence, they make it be felt.

03:58:41.140 --> 03:58:43.660
Fact of the matter, they are so phased, so clean.

03:58:43.660 --> 03:58:47.340
They are the only team here that has gone flawless so far.

03:58:47.340 --> 03:58:51.480
You spoke with KDS yesterday after their series versus Valorant, what would it mean for them

03:58:51.480 --> 03:58:53.100
to get this major underneath their belt?

03:58:53.100 --> 03:58:54.940
KDS said it would mean everything to them.

03:58:54.940 --> 03:58:58.220
They want to be the only team in history, not only to win back to back world champions,

03:58:58.220 --> 03:59:02.540
but to follow it up with the major win, to only further and etch their names in Siege's

03:59:02.540 --> 03:59:04.160
history and legacy.

03:59:04.160 --> 03:59:06.960
And by God, do they have the players to do it?

03:59:06.960 --> 03:59:08.640
Speaking of the players, let's talk about them.

03:59:08.640 --> 03:59:11.400
Cyber, Handy, absolute showstoppers.

03:59:11.400 --> 03:59:13.280
Listen, we've talked about Handy at SI.

03:59:13.280 --> 03:59:15.240
He was the back-to-back, two-time world champ,

03:59:15.240 --> 03:59:16.600
but also the MVP.

03:59:16.600 --> 03:59:18.280
But we also have to look at Cyber.

03:59:18.280 --> 03:59:20.600
I mean, both of these two in their series were his Falcons.

03:59:20.600 --> 03:59:22.320
These are two players that you are absolutely

03:59:22.320 --> 03:59:23.520
going to have to watch.

03:59:23.520 --> 03:59:25.400
They are the head honchos of this team.

03:59:25.400 --> 03:59:27.240
They were leading in those opening engagements,

03:59:27.240 --> 03:59:29.320
and they are quite the forts to be reckoned with.

03:59:29.320 --> 03:59:30.840
I mean, we know what Handy's going to deliver.

03:59:30.840 --> 03:59:32.000
He's always so good.

03:59:32.000 --> 03:59:33.960
Every time the moment gets so high,

03:59:33.960 --> 03:59:34.960
He shows up.

03:59:34.960 --> 03:59:37.340
Cyber is one of those players that we were highlighting yesterday.

03:59:37.340 --> 03:59:38.840
You never know when it's going to happen.

03:59:38.840 --> 03:59:42.400
He could definitely be on the bottom of the leaderboard and then instantly he's able to

03:59:42.400 --> 03:59:43.400
hit the flanks.

03:59:43.400 --> 03:59:46.900
He's successful on being able to just run numbers on the other team.

03:59:46.900 --> 03:59:49.240
He's the snake that you have to consistently worry about.

03:59:49.240 --> 03:59:50.840
Like I said, he's a snake in the grass.

03:59:50.840 --> 03:59:53.780
One thing I love about these two, with how aggressive they are and how they can control

03:59:53.780 --> 03:59:56.000
the round is when you think about Cyber, he can flank.

03:59:56.000 --> 03:59:59.760
He can get aggressive at any given moment, whether it's early, mid to late round, where

03:59:59.760 --> 04:00:02.620
you will see handy shine and bring brilliance into the round.

04:00:02.620 --> 04:00:06.380
It comes anywhere into the mid to late round with the team, but back to the matters, both

04:00:06.380 --> 04:00:11.060
of these players are never scared to take an engagement, regardless if it's a 2v1.

04:00:11.060 --> 04:00:12.060
Odds are against them.

04:00:12.060 --> 04:00:14.300
You can best believe they're going to be in your face.

04:00:14.300 --> 04:00:16.460
Do you know what, Lex?

04:00:16.460 --> 04:00:20.180
If you were to put these two teams against each other, I know that you're an NA guy.

04:00:20.180 --> 04:00:23.660
If you were to compare them both, how close really is it?

04:00:23.660 --> 04:00:27.740
Honestly, it's actually surprising when you've looked so far into this series and this tournament.

04:00:27.740 --> 04:00:29.620
They are relatively close in EPS.

04:00:29.620 --> 04:00:30.620
They're tie neck and neck.

04:00:30.620 --> 04:00:32.220
but when you look at their attack,

04:00:32.220 --> 04:00:33.700
DZ has the upper hand.

04:00:33.700 --> 04:00:35.340
They are looking significantly better

04:00:35.340 --> 04:00:36.420
where Faze is only a third.

04:00:36.420 --> 04:00:38.020
But however, the defense,

04:00:38.020 --> 04:00:39.380
that's something that we're looking at here.

04:00:39.380 --> 04:00:42.500
They are trailing hard over side of Dark Zero.

04:00:42.500 --> 04:00:44.660
And then the entry, Dark Zero's doing very well.

04:00:44.660 --> 04:00:46.380
Traes are looking well for Dark Zero as well.

04:00:46.380 --> 04:00:48.180
But back to the matter, there are so many things

04:00:48.180 --> 04:00:50.100
when you're watching this series to look out for.

04:00:50.100 --> 04:00:52.820
If you're a DZ fan, you better watch for those attacks.

04:00:52.820 --> 04:00:55.260
If you're a Faze fan, you want to watch those defenses.

04:00:55.260 --> 04:00:56.100
I mean, you need to.

04:00:56.100 --> 04:00:58.900
If you're Faze, again, the biggest outlier

04:00:58.900 --> 04:00:59.740
when it comes to their attacks

04:00:59.740 --> 04:01:03.380
finding his opening kills. Same thing for Dark Zero. Cyber is the main player that you're

04:01:03.380 --> 04:01:07.740
going to look at when you're faced to be able to find it. So a lot of pressure on his shoulders

04:01:07.740 --> 04:01:12.740
to find those openings, to find the gaps. Sometimes we've seen it not happen. But so far, if yesterday

04:01:12.740 --> 04:01:17.100
was anything of an indicator, Cyber is awake. He's able to do it. You just never know when

04:01:17.100 --> 04:01:18.580
he's coming, but you've got to be aware of it.

04:01:18.580 --> 04:01:23.340
Well, you know what? Looking to knock the best team in the world off their patch, we've

04:01:23.340 --> 04:01:29.420
got another NA team that has just arrived into the building. How cool is it for the

04:01:29.420 --> 04:01:35.140
fans here in Salt Lake City that fresh off the back of watching Shopify Rebellion make

04:01:35.140 --> 04:01:40.980
it into the grand final. They get to lose their minds and their voices collectively to support

04:01:40.980 --> 04:01:45.500
another team. DZ in the building. It's not just amazing for the crowd. It's amazing even

04:01:45.500 --> 04:01:49.260
for these players here because they will be able to work off that exact same energy, have

04:01:49.260 --> 04:01:53.180
that fed into them, have that feel them throughout their series because they are going to need

04:01:53.180 --> 04:01:56.980
it going against the likes of face. But I will say this new Darkseer with the addition

04:01:56.980 --> 04:02:02.340
of Kino has really been painting the picture that this team has never had this sort of structure

04:02:02.340 --> 04:02:06.980
and by God it has it been paying its margins paying its dues and that's why they are here

04:02:06.980 --> 04:02:12.420
and a semi-final going against this base. How impressed are you with this team?

04:02:13.700 --> 04:02:17.140
Is that it again? How impressed are you with DZ? Oh I've been extremely impressed again back

04:02:17.140 --> 04:02:20.580
when it was the old SSG roster I mean I never thought they could ever get to this point just due

04:02:20.580 --> 04:02:25.300
to the structure they didn't have support players like Kino like NJR and with this addition of these

04:02:25.300 --> 04:02:29.060
to it's allowed this team to flourish. It's allowed players to feel revitalized,

04:02:29.060 --> 04:02:32.660
re-energized, and we're seeing it through and through with each and every single game.

04:02:32.660 --> 04:02:36.100
And I would say if it was back in the day, the old roster they were going against Faze,

04:02:36.100 --> 04:02:40.020
I wouldn't have the hopes. But I'm going to be completely honest with how this roster looks now.

04:02:40.020 --> 04:02:42.900
I am confident that they can make this game relatively close.

04:02:42.900 --> 04:02:46.340
You've already touched on some of the stats that make this team so good.

04:02:46.340 --> 04:02:49.620
Fox is standing by to talk about why their attacks are so impressive.

04:02:49.620 --> 04:02:52.980
Well, it's not about brute force. They don't just punch their way through a problem.

04:02:52.980 --> 04:02:57.900
It's about creating an environment to allow their opponent to make a mistake and that's where dart zero snap

04:02:57.900 --> 04:03:02.660
We saw yesterday on round 10 when the DZ is attacking into the master bomb site

04:03:02.660 --> 04:03:06.700
They're gonna go for a CC over but first they want to be able to get the outer connector wall

04:03:06.700 --> 04:03:08.820
So now they have time to set up one of these traps

04:03:08.820 --> 04:03:12.140
You got Kino who's watching the CC window for a swing Jane

04:03:12.140 --> 04:03:18.980
I know holding connector for a rotate NJR rotate again and newer is getting the wall and fault is on the hatch now

04:03:18.980 --> 04:03:23.860
The environment set up they need a reaction Foltz big brains is going to throw a nade at gold

04:03:24.220 --> 04:03:29.000
Forcing Kansan into a position where he gets caught from NGR beautiful opening kill now

04:03:29.000 --> 04:03:33.940
We rotate the phase to another situation that they're gonna create a trap for they have the man advantage

04:03:33.940 --> 04:03:38.780
They're gonna put pressure taking top red and CC to force wild card to go for a play

04:03:38.780 --> 04:03:42.860
But at the end of the day they have the trap newers outside of garage on a drone

04:03:43.180 --> 04:03:45.860
Well as the push comes out they has to go for a flank

04:03:45.860 --> 04:03:48.520
Spotted, Nurez gets the kill. Huge man advantage.

04:03:48.520 --> 04:03:51.520
Wildcard are in a situation where they gotta go for a play.

04:03:51.520 --> 04:03:52.820
Baby Shark gets the pick.

04:03:52.820 --> 04:03:53.860
Aziz running back.

04:03:53.860 --> 04:03:56.320
NJR, the best mailbox in the game,

04:03:56.320 --> 04:03:59.520
is already on the wall that they had gotten from the start.

04:03:59.520 --> 04:04:01.920
They used that man advantage to snowball,

04:04:01.920 --> 04:04:04.860
and that's why Dark Zeros attacks are perfect.

04:04:04.860 --> 04:04:06.320
They're meticulous, calculated.

04:04:06.320 --> 04:04:08.820
They take their time, and it's limited risks

04:04:08.820 --> 04:04:10.020
to get that opening kill,

04:04:10.020 --> 04:04:13.120
and that's gonna be their game plan against Faze today.

04:04:13.120 --> 04:04:14.120
Love that, and you know what?

04:04:14.120 --> 04:04:17.560
They're absolutely going to need those attacks, if they want to stop the best.

04:04:17.560 --> 04:04:19.640
Can I quickly say that's why he was my IGL?

04:04:19.640 --> 04:04:23.640
Just the way that he broke that down, I mean that was so beautifully done.

04:04:23.640 --> 04:04:27.000
But they are going to need to be in point and attack Ray Argen.

04:04:27.000 --> 04:04:28.760
You can't make mistakes against FaZeCon.

04:04:28.760 --> 04:04:31.320
You can, they punish you absolutely every single time.

04:04:31.320 --> 04:04:34.040
So if they can play this concrete just like Box was breaking down,

04:04:34.040 --> 04:04:37.400
FaZe is going to have a hard time, but that's always been the thing with the Space Roster

04:04:37.400 --> 04:04:39.400
is they're so good at controlling tempo.

04:04:39.400 --> 04:04:41.080
They're so good at understanding their opponent,

04:04:41.080 --> 04:04:43.560
and they're so good at breaking down those flaws.

04:04:43.560 --> 04:04:48.260
All right, let's take a look at picks and bands for this last semi-final of the day.

04:04:48.260 --> 04:04:52.260
We're going to bring your IGL back into the mix here in the studio as well.

04:04:52.260 --> 04:04:53.460
Let's go.

04:04:53.460 --> 04:04:56.660
Clubhouse, honestly, it doesn't matter what map you're going to play, FaZe.

04:04:56.660 --> 04:04:59.060
They have a very depth map pool.

04:04:59.060 --> 04:05:01.860
So the fact of the matter, I see Clubhouse coming out here for start two.

04:05:01.860 --> 04:05:04.660
I really like this because you already want to start the game on,

04:05:04.660 --> 04:05:06.860
just focusing on sheer fundamentals.

04:05:06.860 --> 04:05:08.660
You don't want to give FaZe an upper hand

04:05:08.660 --> 04:05:11.360
and you can't really give a lot of teams an upper hand going into Clubhouse.

04:05:11.360 --> 04:05:14.100
It really just comes down to those basics.

04:05:14.100 --> 04:05:16.240
Bank, however, that is a little bit worrisome

04:05:16.240 --> 04:05:18.040
because the last two maps specifically

04:05:18.040 --> 04:05:20.640
are very, very strong for Faze.

04:05:20.640 --> 04:05:22.740
I mean, it's a beautiful pick from Dark Zero

04:05:22.740 --> 04:05:24.720
because what we talk about, the opening kills.

04:05:24.720 --> 04:05:26.040
On a map like Clubhouse,

04:05:26.040 --> 04:05:28.480
you're able to eliminate Cyber's X-Factor ability.

04:05:28.480 --> 04:05:30.680
There's not much creativity you can do on it.

04:05:30.680 --> 04:05:31.920
That gives Dark Zero the edge.

04:05:31.920 --> 04:05:33.420
They're able to take their time,

04:05:33.420 --> 04:05:35.320
like I showed in the wild card match,

04:05:35.320 --> 04:05:37.680
being able to pick a part where Faze is going to be.

04:05:37.680 --> 04:05:40.160
Now, again, a great pick. Faze going to Bank.

04:05:40.160 --> 04:05:44.000
That's where Cyber can come through, going through the garage, the dirt tunnel, finding those openings.

04:05:44.000 --> 04:05:46.000
So again, we've been painting the picture.

04:05:46.000 --> 04:05:50.960
It's really just about the teams in the server, but it's all going to come down to those opening engagements.

04:05:51.840 --> 04:05:57.600
Well, we can now take a look at the double world champions, the back to back world champions,

04:05:57.600 --> 04:06:03.600
the first to ever do it in Siege history, hodling up and getting set for what they desperately want.

04:06:03.600 --> 04:06:07.760
Of course, FaZe Clan in the past have won a major, but not as this roster.

04:06:07.760 --> 04:06:13.400
We already had KDS there, how important is they're trying to build something Fox?

04:06:13.400 --> 04:06:16.900
I mean look, us watching on, we know they've already built something, they're building

04:06:16.900 --> 04:06:20.880
a legacy, but they want more and they want to do it with a major championship on their

04:06:20.880 --> 04:06:21.880
cabinet.

04:06:21.880 --> 04:06:24.040
I mean I'm glad you said legacy because it really is that for FaZe.

04:06:24.040 --> 04:06:26.520
At the end of the day, there's a little bit of pride for them too.

04:06:26.520 --> 04:06:28.880
Everyone talks about how Furia is one of the best legacies.

04:06:28.880 --> 04:06:32.800
You know everyone says G2, but I think it's safe to say that Furia has surpassed them

04:06:32.800 --> 04:06:36.320
and now for FaZe, they want to be not only the best team in the world, but for them there's

04:06:36.320 --> 04:06:37.320
a chip on their shoulder.

04:06:37.320 --> 04:06:39.760
be better than Furia. I think there's something for me when it comes to this

04:06:39.760 --> 04:06:43.440
phase roster when you think of egos, you think of prestige, whatever that might be.

04:06:43.440 --> 04:06:47.080
Phase really does focus on themselves. They don't care about the opponent that's

04:06:47.080 --> 04:06:50.720
in front. They focus primarily on what they can do to better themselves that

04:06:50.720 --> 04:06:54.240
then favors them in their matchup which is why they're so good and you even just

04:06:54.240 --> 04:06:56.760
talked about you know sure they aren't so flashy, they aren't the you know

04:06:56.760 --> 04:07:00.280
prettiest team to be watching but it's because they play Siege at such a high

04:07:00.280 --> 04:07:03.560
strategic level that it works and it's the reason why they're a two-time

04:07:03.560 --> 04:07:07.120
world champion. It's the reason why they're one game away from a grand final to

04:07:07.120 --> 04:07:09.160
make their name etch it even further in the history.

04:07:09.160 --> 04:07:11.520
I mean, this team is just so fun to watch

04:07:11.520 --> 04:07:13.600
if you like to pick the brains and really

04:07:13.600 --> 04:07:16.600
look at the strategical aspect that Siege is all about to explore.

04:07:16.600 --> 04:07:18.280
But you know what's interesting about picking

04:07:18.280 --> 04:07:19.360
their brains in a strategy?

04:07:19.360 --> 04:07:21.400
I really feel like that's what Dark Zero has come to,

04:07:21.400 --> 04:07:24.920
since picking up this roster, getting Kino, keeping NJR.

04:07:24.920 --> 04:07:26.920
It really feels strategically they're on a new level.

04:07:26.920 --> 04:07:28.480
I mean, when we look at clubhouse,

04:07:28.480 --> 04:07:30.040
something that everyone's been talking about

04:07:30.040 --> 04:07:32.240
is how they've innovated clubhouse using the tachanka

04:07:32.240 --> 04:07:33.240
in so many areas.

04:07:33.240 --> 04:07:35.040
That's been a way that they've elevated their play.

04:07:35.040 --> 04:07:38.520
I feel like this is a perfect matchup for both of these two teams and at the end of the day

04:07:38.520 --> 04:07:42.880
Whoever can be phase is going to look like the better team going into the fine

04:07:42.880 --> 04:07:47.760
I think that goes without saying absolutely you know else goes without saying I need predictions lax

04:07:49.680 --> 04:07:54.620
I gotta go face if it's gotta be face. I'm gonna go with dark zero. All right good stuff

04:07:54.640 --> 04:07:59.560
Nice little reaction from the crowd there. It is time for our second semi-final

04:08:05.040 --> 04:08:14.920
of course, the lights go out once again. We've seen so many teams find the light, others

04:08:14.920 --> 04:08:22.440
have let the pressure get the better of them and collapse beneath it. One team has already

04:08:22.440 --> 04:08:30.760
booked in their spot in the grand final to fight for this trophy. Who will join them in

04:08:30.760 --> 04:08:32.760
in that battle. Time to find out.

04:09:00.760 --> 04:09:22.760
The Rebuilds, any squads that tear the alley swish stumble into a decisive quarterfinal sweep.

04:09:22.760 --> 04:09:31.260
A pit not paved under the pressure is Dark Zero!

04:09:42.760 --> 04:09:45.260
Let's welcome their opponents.

04:10:22.760 --> 04:10:30.760
The Bats are back, world champions who haven't dropped a single map,

04:10:30.760 --> 04:10:37.760
all events and crews through the quarters with flawless precision.

04:10:37.760 --> 04:10:42.760
Welcome, Big Clan!

04:10:52.760 --> 04:11:12.000
All right, a brief conversation before we get into this, a spot in our grand final is

04:11:12.000 --> 04:11:13.000
at stake.

04:11:13.000 --> 04:11:14.000
We've got Foltz and KDS.

04:11:14.000 --> 04:11:18.240
KDS, look, you're not intimidated by anything.

04:11:18.240 --> 04:11:19.240
I've seen it before.

04:11:19.240 --> 04:11:22.480
Are you intimidated by this crowd and why?

04:11:22.480 --> 04:11:27.820
Of course not. We know they hate us because they're not Americans, but they're going to beat them.

04:11:29.720 --> 04:11:32.120
KDSS, we're gonna beat them.

04:11:32.980 --> 04:11:37.780
Folks, this is your last chance to get this crowd riled up. What do you want to say?

04:11:38.420 --> 04:11:42.180
Yeah, the only thing I want to say is this is America. This is our turf.

04:11:45.820 --> 04:11:47.720
I'll lead it off here. Ready?

04:11:47.720 --> 04:11:53.720
USA! USA! USA! USA!

04:11:53.720 --> 04:11:55.720
We got handshake.

04:11:55.720 --> 04:11:57.720
Look at that. Best of luck, guys.

04:11:57.720 --> 04:12:01.720
This is going to get spicy. I can feel it.

04:12:01.720 --> 04:12:05.720
And we need a special try cast for this one, I think.

04:12:05.720 --> 04:12:10.720
So we've got Des, Ace, and a bit of a legend from down under.

04:12:10.720 --> 04:12:11.720
Good day, mate!

04:12:11.720 --> 04:12:12.720
Good day.

04:12:12.720 --> 04:12:14.720
Thank you very much, Mr Chambers.

04:12:14.720 --> 04:12:16.720
Yes, what a quarter final we've got coming up.

04:12:16.720 --> 04:12:25.040
I don't think the crowd are like what I'm going to say, but I think today's might just be DZ today. Oh

04:12:25.040 --> 04:12:34.080
I'm going to be a bit nervous, but look, it's my first event as a coach and I'm also making my debut as a customer. So hopefully I'll just take him boxes here, Mike. Just taking boxes. And what I'm going to do it for as well. Big semi-final coming up. North America, the

04:12:34.080 --> 04:12:39.420
North America versus North America final, but Baysfield a bit too scary for a lot of people to overcome.

04:12:39.420 --> 04:12:40.720
What do you think is going to happen today?

04:12:41.800 --> 04:12:46.360
I don't think the crowd will like what I'm going to say, but I think today's might just beat DZ today.

04:12:46.360 --> 04:12:47.860
Oh, thank you!

04:12:47.860 --> 04:12:48.860
Oh, God, right!

04:12:48.860 --> 04:12:50.860
You got what you wanted, Mike!

04:12:50.860 --> 04:12:52.140
He's not with us! He's not with us! It's okay!

04:12:52.140 --> 04:12:55.140
I mean, if you guys want DZ to win, make sure you give a lot of cheers, alright?

04:12:55.140 --> 04:12:57.140
Because it really helps the boys up on stage, yeah?

04:12:57.140 --> 04:12:59.140
You said that yourself up to yesterday, mate.

04:12:59.140 --> 04:13:00.140
Of course, you saw...

04:13:00.140 --> 04:13:03.140
You've always fought valiantly. A brilliant cafe can help you guys.

04:13:03.140 --> 04:13:07.140
Yes, then hopefully in these three matches coming up, we see something particularly special.

04:13:07.140 --> 04:13:11.140
We are starting out on the top house. Expectations for this first map tip?

04:13:12.140 --> 04:13:15.140
I think Dark Zero need a strong start is what I would say.

04:13:15.140 --> 04:13:19.140
We were speaking earlier about it and I said when you consider Fizz,

04:13:19.140 --> 04:13:23.140
you've got to think as a team in these big moments, these big semi-finals, grand finals,

04:13:23.140 --> 04:13:28.140
Fizz are without a doubt going to turn up and deliver 8 out of 10 as a minimum.

04:13:28.140 --> 04:13:31.580
9 out of 10, 10 out of 10, most likely.

04:13:31.580 --> 04:13:34.660
So you have to come out, you have to send a message to them.

04:13:34.660 --> 04:13:37.380
And Piz, you've got to beat them, Des.

04:13:37.380 --> 04:13:40.300
They are never going to give you anything.

04:13:40.300 --> 04:13:42.740
So DarkZero got to come out strong.

04:13:42.740 --> 04:13:44.420
Are they capable of that on Clubhouse?

04:13:44.420 --> 04:13:45.980
I definitely think that they are.

04:13:45.980 --> 04:13:47.060
Well, it's their map, Piz,

04:13:47.060 --> 04:13:48.620
hoping they can start out strong.

04:13:48.620 --> 04:13:51.500
It does mean DarkZero keep things off on the attack.

04:13:51.500 --> 04:13:54.820
Piz on the defensive is DarkZero's map, Piz.

04:13:54.820 --> 04:13:57.380
Zolaic City, it's time to get behind your boys.

04:13:57.380 --> 04:14:00.500
Can they do this? Let's find out here and now.

04:14:04.260 --> 04:14:05.660
You know, the buttons coming through there.

04:14:05.660 --> 04:14:08.020
We'll see who we want to be seeing.

04:14:08.580 --> 04:14:10.500
First ones will come in.

04:14:10.500 --> 04:14:13.420
K. Monta was going to ask you if there's any surprises there, Mike,

04:14:13.420 --> 04:14:15.100
but I think I already know the answer.

04:14:15.100 --> 04:14:16.060
Absolutely not.

04:14:16.060 --> 04:14:18.420
You know, Monta, just a classic operator for Clubhouse,

04:14:18.420 --> 04:14:20.220
clearing rafters, doing sweeps.

04:14:20.220 --> 04:14:22.420
And of course, I think the band is going to come out here as early.

04:14:22.420 --> 04:14:25.100
Yep. So, you know, just some classic operator bands,

04:14:25.100 --> 04:14:29.700
obviously the thermite, especially on Clubhouse, are very effective at getting a lot of walls

04:14:29.700 --> 04:14:33.860
open now that he has three breach charges. Interesting to get your thoughts on that a

04:14:33.860 --> 04:14:37.380
little bit, Mike. The Cade and Bandit Bandcombo, it's something I've spoken about a little

04:14:37.380 --> 04:14:41.980
bit through the event. We've seen, you know, Pengu talking about it on socials. It seems

04:14:41.980 --> 04:14:45.420
like, you know, a few different camps about this because obviously we know that it's

04:14:45.420 --> 04:14:48.540
going to speed things up. That's the hope. You're going to get those breaches off easier.

04:14:48.540 --> 04:14:53.020
On a map like Clubhouse, where there are alternatives, you've got soft floors that you can go underneath,

04:14:53.020 --> 04:14:56.700
you can clear out that thunder, you can, you know, work a little bit of, I get with the

04:14:56.700 --> 04:15:00.580
hatches a little bit, you know, you've got less options to the cave, but it leaves you

04:15:00.580 --> 04:15:07.300
fighting Azami, Mira, Legion, Fenrir, you know, all these trucks, all this utility.

04:15:07.300 --> 04:15:10.300
What do you think about that trade off there?

04:15:10.300 --> 04:15:14.880
I think obviously because Clubhouse has a lot of exterior walls, you know, bending the

04:15:14.880 --> 04:15:18.800
bend it and Kaid is just easy to open up and then get, you know, into the round straight

04:15:18.800 --> 04:15:24.200
away but recently there are teams now that if you don't ban the Cade and the Bandit they

04:15:24.200 --> 04:15:27.960
won't even run it. So you know teams that will run it will definitely want to ban it

04:15:27.960 --> 04:15:31.760
against it but of course I think the meta right now is just the Cade Bandit.

04:15:31.760 --> 04:15:34.640
You've had a double ban for so long, teams are conditioned into not playing it and like

04:15:34.640 --> 04:15:36.840
oh we're not practised it, it's not available.

04:15:36.840 --> 04:15:38.760
It was like mirror for the longest time wasn't it?

04:15:38.760 --> 04:15:39.760
Yeah.

04:15:39.760 --> 04:15:43.320
You know mirror was just bunged out so consistently that even when she slipped through nobody used

04:15:43.320 --> 04:15:46.600
it because nobody practised with it.

04:15:46.600 --> 04:15:49.260
Well, she is available for this round, at least, Tim, and Handy for sure.

04:15:49.260 --> 04:15:51.540
He's pretty confident with that operator.

04:15:51.540 --> 04:15:54.340
Very much a dug-in setup, this trifecta of the architects,

04:15:54.340 --> 04:15:57.660
the castle, the azami, the mirror being brought along by FaZe.

04:15:57.660 --> 04:16:00.540
They want to make this bombsite really difficult for Darkseer

04:16:00.540 --> 04:16:03.000
to work their way through, and if you look at it as well, Tim,

04:16:03.000 --> 04:16:05.820
30 seconds in, we've basically got no one roaming around the map.

04:16:05.820 --> 04:16:08.460
Whereas, traditionally, on this map, we're used to seeing a lot of teams

04:16:08.460 --> 04:16:10.060
and really in the current meta overall,

04:16:10.060 --> 04:16:11.700
a lot of roaming all around the map.

04:16:11.700 --> 04:16:14.300
FaZe saying, now, we know our game, we're going to play it.

04:16:14.300 --> 04:16:16.140
Yeah, I mean, you know, you're all good at team-light fairs.

04:16:16.140 --> 04:16:22.120
If anybody's gonna get it done in any situation, it's gonna be them, but you know again coming to you there my guy when you're not

04:16:22.120 --> 04:16:28.120
Committing to the map here. You're basically giving dark zero minutes to where you're down and we've got some super powerful

04:16:28.780 --> 04:16:34.020
Utility on the attack is you're gonna have to deal with the grim the game the black beards all pushing you into size

04:16:34.020 --> 04:16:36.460
It's not a little bit of a race for a risk for face

04:16:36.580 --> 04:16:40.300
It's definitely a risk for face as we see cyber taking some damage

04:16:40.300 --> 04:16:47.060
but on Clubhouse you don't want to give the whole map for free, which is why we see cyber-attacking fights with Castle Barricades on the first floor.

04:16:47.060 --> 04:16:56.380
Time is of the essence and as a defender, especially on Clubhouse, you want to waste as much time as you can, so when the execute does come out, it might not be as easy to execute on.

04:16:56.380 --> 04:17:02.140
I'd say so far, so good. They've chewed through a lot of the drones on this attacking side, and Cyber still hasn't gone down towards site.

04:17:02.140 --> 04:17:07.940
He said he's very much put himself at the end of the hallway, Tim. If they know that he's here, they should get messy, and he gets rid of one!

04:17:07.940 --> 04:17:09.820
They missed out on the chance to pick him off there.

04:17:09.820 --> 04:17:11.820
If they'd known that he was there, it would have been beautiful.

04:17:11.820 --> 04:17:15.340
But counting those drones, they know that they had no idea the castle was there.

04:17:15.340 --> 04:17:17.700
And it was the Blackbeard that is taken down.

04:17:17.700 --> 04:17:22.340
Removing that shield from the lineup is going to be a big pain point for DarkTier.

04:17:22.340 --> 04:17:24.580
Oh, now he was taking a lot of damage on the sledge.

04:17:24.580 --> 04:17:26.940
He can't really be going into gunfights like this.

04:17:26.940 --> 04:17:31.140
One bullet is going to see the end of him, so he also needs to be careful first.

04:17:31.140 --> 04:17:33.780
I think two minutes wasted and the Blackbeard down.

04:17:33.780 --> 04:17:36.140
They're going to be happy with what they got out of that castle.

04:17:36.140 --> 04:17:40.060
Honestly, really, really good job from Cyber there, playing in a rack corner in kitchen hallway,

04:17:40.060 --> 04:17:44.060
getting a pick especially on the basement, where there are so many, you know,

04:17:44.060 --> 04:17:47.900
positions that you have to cover as a defender, is honestly a really big win for FaZe in my opinion.

04:17:48.700 --> 04:17:52.700
And here we go, Yings being dropped down, smoke coming through as well as the hit comes on through.

04:17:52.700 --> 04:17:56.860
Fourth for first, the four inside of no-toe. Deals at least the first of those F-nats,

04:17:56.860 --> 04:18:02.140
but Neewers getting rid of bit of King, the 4v3, the dark zero, as long as they can find another Tim, no!

04:18:02.140 --> 04:18:07.340
Andy, doing work on that mirror, good for one, good for two, it's just a bit too good sometimes then

04:18:07.340 --> 04:18:11.140
But Mila's collects a second, Sol's in a 1v2, I clutch kink

04:18:11.140 --> 04:18:15.140
If you're gonna hide behind something, it better be something a little bit tougher than that part

04:18:15.140 --> 04:18:19.740
One versus one, Sol's having picked up newers, we know that Sol's is just a clutch

04:18:19.740 --> 04:18:22.740
KING! He comes out with another one!

04:18:22.740 --> 04:18:27.740
Absolutely delivering again and again for this team, I'm not even talking here in Salt Lake

04:18:27.740 --> 04:18:32.580
It's all has been delivering up touches like that for years, and he just doesn't stop

04:18:33.740 --> 04:18:39.040
Honestly great way from phase there getting the pick at the start in a 4v4 situation for the basement

04:18:39.040 --> 04:18:44.800
They're using their utility excellently with the as armies on site especially and just playing around their reinforcements really well

04:18:45.740 --> 04:18:47.660
Good tech pause here, but Tim

04:18:47.660 --> 04:18:54.300
I think that first round was the think of very good representation of the experience many teams in Salt Lake have had when they've come up against phase

04:18:54.300 --> 04:18:56.820
They have been flawless so far.

04:18:56.820 --> 04:18:59.260
In fact, in speaking to Siburni earlier on,

04:18:59.260 --> 04:19:01.500
no team has gone on a hat, an invincible run,

04:19:01.500 --> 04:19:03.820
not dropping a single map at a tournament phase.

04:19:03.820 --> 04:19:06.100
Could be on their way there to get a 2-0 here.

04:19:06.100 --> 04:19:08.100
The closest was G2 back at Raleigh.

04:19:08.100 --> 04:19:11.540
Got to the final and then lost it 3-1.

04:19:11.540 --> 04:19:12.660
There's a lot of firsts,

04:19:12.660 --> 04:19:14.660
a lot of firsts available for FaZe here.

04:19:14.660 --> 04:19:15.860
You might look at it and think,

04:19:15.860 --> 04:19:17.460
wow, they just keep coming out and winning things.

04:19:17.460 --> 04:19:18.660
But it's not about that.

04:19:18.660 --> 04:19:23.700
We look at this, teams have not historically followed up well from SI.

04:19:23.700 --> 04:19:27.700
They have the opportunity to do the first one to win that next top tier event.

04:19:27.700 --> 04:19:29.700
We've never had that from an SI winner.

04:19:29.700 --> 04:19:34.700
Usually, they will go on to that next event and not be successful.

04:19:34.700 --> 04:19:37.700
Faze with an opportunity and, you know, we talk about Faze

04:19:37.700 --> 04:19:41.700
and what we talk about the word Dynastia, what we talked about it with that W7M,

04:19:41.700 --> 04:19:45.700
Splash, Furia, Roster. We now have to start talking about it for Faze.

04:19:45.700 --> 04:19:48.700
I don't think that we're quite there yet with this roster.

04:19:48.700 --> 04:19:51.700
You can't turn up and just win one thing once a year and, you know,

04:19:51.700 --> 04:20:04.700
I don't get me wrong, but something like this, backing it up, folding it up with a major, and just really starting to cement themselves, I think that starts opening that conversation up.

04:20:04.700 --> 04:20:09.700
Do you think if they do this event, they down declare themselves as the best team of all time, Matt?

04:20:09.700 --> 04:20:15.700
Well, no team, correct me if I'm wrong, has won an SI and then won the next major.

04:20:15.700 --> 04:20:21.780
Yeah, I think two SIs and the potential major afterwards. Obviously G2 Penta had that dominant phase in 2018, but

04:20:22.420 --> 04:20:27.060
But you know what's the pro league final following us? Yeah, that's the hard part, right? I don't know

04:20:27.060 --> 04:20:32.940
Yeah, I think two major wins or a major winning in this I will in my opinion solidify the most of us

04:20:32.940 --> 04:20:35.540
Oh, they're very very close to got another bout to go and then they're all well in good

04:20:35.740 --> 04:20:40.700
One more match tomorrow, maybe assuming they get the job done here, but I'm sure Darkseer

04:20:40.700 --> 04:20:41.860
I've got something to say about it

04:20:41.860 --> 04:20:44.180
We had a chat with Cole out behind the scenes before we got to this game

04:20:44.180 --> 04:20:47.500
He said you can't just spring things on phase the surprise of the rushes

04:20:47.500 --> 04:20:49.720
They always seem to be ready, but it feels to be team

04:20:49.720 --> 04:20:52.380
But they might be trying to catch them out from underneath here, too

04:20:52.380 --> 04:20:54.380
Slowly crawling their way through

04:20:54.620 --> 04:20:57.760
Neuers and ports working their way up. Maybe I'd catch the player on main stairs

04:20:58.420 --> 04:21:00.420
So fingers

04:21:00.420 --> 04:21:02.380
It's gonna be maybe catching them out on main stairs

04:21:02.380 --> 04:21:05.900
That's gonna be best thought because I know all of us are up on that top door

04:21:05.900 --> 04:21:09.100
So there's nothing really to be gained from the basement at the minute

04:21:09.100 --> 04:21:12.380
They've backed out of that. I think they might have been a concern that there was somebody down there

04:21:12.380 --> 04:21:15.900
I think it's just a classic bait and putter, they come up to the stairs here.

04:21:15.900 --> 04:21:18.380
Oh, nice and post.

04:21:18.380 --> 04:21:21.660
Look at the ready on that sledge, as if I find it's about a cyber.

04:21:21.660 --> 04:21:25.060
With a knife through the side of the front towards Keynow, a trace out the other side and do it.

04:21:25.060 --> 04:21:32.180
Kits one, they make it three. Dark Zero have exploded forward, consumed the majority of that baseline of it's a 3D2.

04:21:32.180 --> 04:21:36.220
The problem that they've got at the minute is they split in half between Vittor King and GDES.

04:21:36.220 --> 04:21:39.180
You've got GDES on Catwalk, problem solved!

04:21:39.180 --> 04:21:45.540
I don't know any of us pick up on a piece and well fish crumbled partway through that round

04:21:46.260 --> 04:21:50.940
Honestly a very interesting attack there from dark zero usually you have the garage side of sweep

04:21:50.940 --> 04:21:53.060
You have the gym side of sweep dark zero

04:21:53.060 --> 04:21:58.700
They're faking the gym sided sweep and then actually just coming straight up the stairs onto site and face

04:21:58.700 --> 04:22:01.780
Just not ready for it at all because they were putting the numbers on the gym side

04:22:03.140 --> 04:22:06.860
Well, I bet it's which but certainly enough that it caught them off guards him and again cool

04:22:06.860 --> 04:22:10.780
I was saying it is hard to surprise face. They've done a pretty good job. I'd say around to yep

04:22:10.780 --> 04:22:12.780
Not an easy thing to achieve at whatsoever

04:22:12.780 --> 04:22:18.380
But I think the other problem is once you get away with it once once you make a surprise and kind of put them on alert

04:22:18.380 --> 04:22:22.140
Don't you know they're ready for it then they think you what's the you know?

04:22:22.140 --> 04:22:26.460
What's the other alternatives that we need to be prepared for there and to see them going back?

04:22:27.980 --> 04:22:29.980
They're gonna be

04:22:29.980 --> 04:22:31.980
It's a whole lot of top floor again.

04:22:31.980 --> 04:22:32.980
3-4 here is Magbox.

04:22:32.980 --> 04:22:35.980
Obviously, you've done a lot of work with Enterprise as their coach.

04:22:35.980 --> 04:22:38.980
The up-bound system changed last year too.

04:22:38.980 --> 04:22:40.980
You're looking at this game, how it's gone so far across these three rounds.

04:22:40.980 --> 04:22:42.980
You're seeing the picks that both teams have come away with.

04:22:42.980 --> 04:22:46.980
If you're looking at this, what are you saying needs to disappear in the next rounds?

04:22:46.980 --> 04:22:47.980
That's honestly a really tough question.

04:22:47.980 --> 04:22:49.980
Maybe the mirror needs to go.

04:22:49.980 --> 04:22:52.980
They've run it every single round, especially because of the thermite band.

04:22:52.980 --> 04:22:55.980
You can impact, say, the ace charges and whatnot.

04:22:55.980 --> 04:22:58.980
And honestly, the LSD can start it is tough.

04:22:58.980 --> 04:23:04.580
of what you guys want to end on, you know, DZ's attacking side because they've just run these sort of one-off strats.

04:23:04.920 --> 04:23:13.860
Obviously a lot of prep work has gone into this game for Dark Zero looking at this round, so definitely Miraband would be my band for Dark Zero.

04:23:13.860 --> 04:23:19.980
I know you've had this special look behind the team. Have you ever seen something say interesting? Man, I wish that would meet again.

04:23:20.980 --> 04:23:21.480
I've had-

04:23:21.480 --> 04:23:22.480
You ever get the itch?

04:23:22.480 --> 04:23:26.480
I've had the itch before, especially if, you know, we're making mistakes and making the wrong calls.

04:23:26.480 --> 04:23:28.480
It's like no if I was now I would have done this.

04:23:28.480 --> 04:23:35.560
Now honestly the boys are really good you know a lot of talented young people on my team and you know

04:23:35.560 --> 04:23:38.060
I've put my trust in them, so I just let him play

04:23:39.280 --> 04:23:41.280
In a great job throughout the event

04:23:41.680 --> 04:23:47.120
We're here. It's about these two this third round to be the one that settles the tiebreaker for that first quarter

04:23:47.280 --> 04:23:50.680
Well, they were not we see a strong attacking start because he's always that supportive

04:23:50.680 --> 04:23:54.120
That's attacking team at the tournament dark zero best defending team phase

04:23:54.120 --> 04:23:56.600
It's the unstoppable force the immovable object

04:23:56.600 --> 04:24:03.240
But like one tree there who comes out on top interestingly phase it actually just completely shifted on the top floor after only a minute

04:24:03.240 --> 04:24:06.540
They've been forced away from catch right stairs construction

04:24:06.540 --> 04:24:12.240
It's all empty at the minute and it is there for the taking but dark zero don't have anybody there to take it

04:24:12.240 --> 04:24:19.160
They've opened CCTV wall and that's enough for them the focus instead is coming on the jacuzzi side phase are ready for it

04:24:19.160 --> 04:24:26.600
But it doesn't matter because folks manages to find that opening gunfight picks up hang there takes him off the board five versus four

04:24:29.600 --> 04:24:34.820
Even in the server side is free no attack and no defender is there very interestingly enough faces

04:24:34.820 --> 04:24:38.880
Just to start it to go back to site and bunker. I think a lot of ghost pressure as well

04:24:38.880 --> 04:24:41.780
It is in the middle so you open a certain side and then

04:24:42.000 --> 04:24:44.680
Go the other way but here comes a demos from below very nice

04:24:44.680 --> 04:24:48.240
You know use of the Izami there so he cannot get shot from below

04:24:49.160 --> 04:24:52.360
Of course, the tube could eventually, or a nape might not be took too bad a shout either up,

04:24:52.360 --> 04:24:56.680
it comes, and sure enough, there's Cyberhunter Geena, but a trade tip, at least a response is there.

04:24:56.680 --> 04:25:02.480
Fultz has made a move as well, he's actually rotated himself over, and he's going to be moving into cash any second now.

04:25:02.480 --> 04:25:07.000
If he comes through into construction onto that door, I think it's going to be a big surprise for Fiers,

04:25:07.000 --> 04:25:13.440
who spoke about how difficult they can be to surprise, but there could be one in the pipeline at the minute.

04:25:13.440 --> 04:25:17.720
thinking about this construction window is he aware yes they must have picked

04:25:17.720 --> 04:25:21.360
that up maybe a sound call maybe a bit of Intel that's told him that folks is

04:25:21.360 --> 04:25:26.120
pushing forward so angle is being held a little bit of progress being made on

04:25:26.120 --> 04:25:30.720
main stairs and jacuzzi breech by dark zero here the net is tightening down

04:25:30.720 --> 04:25:34.040
the target now that's it because time is starting to run sure that clock becomes

04:25:34.040 --> 04:25:38.440
a sixth man but they've got KDS all on his own with 15 seconds to go

04:25:38.440 --> 04:25:40.440
So, both sides, what do you need?

04:25:40.440 --> 04:25:42.440
Dark Zero showing their attacking price

04:25:42.440 --> 04:25:43.440
with a 2-1 star.

04:25:43.440 --> 04:25:45.440
Really nice from Dark Zero there, Mike.

04:25:45.440 --> 04:25:47.440
Just the way that they adapted midway through,

04:25:47.440 --> 04:25:49.440
the roundfuls rotated,

04:25:49.440 --> 04:25:51.440
and then they just brought this circle.

04:25:51.440 --> 04:25:53.440
Titer and Titer in, force face together,

04:25:53.440 --> 04:25:55.440
and then pick them off one at a time.

04:25:55.440 --> 04:25:57.440
Honestly, just great seeds from Dark Zero.

04:25:57.440 --> 04:25:59.440
Obviously, the highest attacking win rate

04:25:59.440 --> 04:26:01.440
team at the event,

04:26:01.440 --> 04:26:03.440
and just the way they were able to, you know,

04:26:03.440 --> 04:26:05.440
open everything up, have a look at what's weak,

04:26:05.440 --> 04:26:06.440
and then just head it.

04:26:06.440 --> 04:26:10.760
it is, it's absolutely just incredible to watch. Now I get to see the adaptation,

04:26:10.760 --> 04:26:14.920
sure enough that mirror ban has come on through, played in all three of those rounds by three

04:26:14.920 --> 04:26:18.520
unique players, of course, highlighting on the side of face, and on the other it's going to be the

04:26:18.520 --> 04:26:23.480
Grim being taken away, which also saw play across all three of those rounds. Yeah, I mean no surprise,

04:26:23.480 --> 04:26:29.320
we know how powerful Grim is on the attack, you know, just makes it so so difficult to move defenders

04:26:29.320 --> 04:26:33.640
around to rotate if you need to, sometimes to retake ground because you're just going to find

04:26:33.640 --> 04:26:39.560
you so but such a disadvantage if you need to move through those things so we head back on the same

04:26:39.560 --> 04:26:46.120
rotation for Bayes back down to church and Arsenal we go and they will be again looking to hold on

04:26:46.120 --> 04:26:51.480
without too much of a top floor presence I don't think although saying that handy has just gone

04:26:51.480 --> 04:26:55.400
all the way up to top on that men's first pretty curious to hear your take on this as well Macko

04:26:55.400 --> 04:26:58.920
we haven't seen a stake played in any of those first three rounds and now the booms come in back

04:26:58.920 --> 04:27:02.520
straight away on towards the stake the impression we've got is that teams will often not play something

04:27:02.520 --> 04:27:08.120
into three rounds, wait until that third ban comes in, then turn around to play it. Is that what you guys do over at Enterprise as well?

04:27:08.120 --> 04:27:17.920
That is definitely something that we do. Obviously it comes with that third ban. In this case, you know, I think they're running the snake purely because they are running a huge room setup.

04:27:17.920 --> 04:27:22.120
But that is definitely something that we do and a lot of the teams do here at this tournament too.

04:27:22.120 --> 04:27:27.320
I think your guys second most played operator at this event until yesterday was Snake as well behind just the ace.

04:27:27.320 --> 04:27:29.320
Obviously very, very powerful in the current meta,

04:27:29.320 --> 04:27:32.320
but Chris was seeing this heavy trap meta that has developed some sure enough bays.

04:27:32.320 --> 04:27:34.320
They have mixed things up compared to round one team,

04:27:34.320 --> 04:27:36.320
not playing that total setup we saw before.

04:27:36.320 --> 04:27:39.320
They're right in the map and looking to engage Dark Zero everywhere.

04:27:39.320 --> 04:27:41.320
Just sticking with that Snake theme for a second, Magga.

04:27:41.320 --> 04:27:45.320
Are you tending to use that as just like complete solo clearance,

04:27:45.320 --> 04:27:47.320
or is there a little bit of drawn-in still happening with him?

04:27:47.320 --> 04:27:50.320
What's the reliance on that gadget like?

04:27:50.320 --> 04:27:53.320
The only time you'd actually drone if there was, say, like a mute on the team,

04:27:53.320 --> 04:28:01.320
but underlies, Snake is just so overpowered, it's so like clearing things as we see even you as he gets in these sort of power positions as Solz gets a kill on Kynad.

04:28:01.320 --> 04:28:02.320
Ouch.

04:28:02.320 --> 04:28:08.320
Not ideal to lose down a shield so early on here in the round, it's like a 60 second pot bite, and that's a lot of pressure that'll lose coming down dirt.

04:28:08.320 --> 04:28:12.320
Look, you can put the Blitz down there for that as well, but there's a reason you've got the two shields on side.

04:28:12.320 --> 04:28:18.320
You want the Blackbeard to be the one pushing down with those nades, clearing the way through slowly, and normally looking towards a Blitz to hit somewhere else at the same time.

04:28:18.320 --> 04:28:19.320
That's not an option anymore.

04:28:19.320 --> 04:28:23.240
an option anymore. Yeah we know that Kino is going to regularly bring those shields it's not something

04:28:23.240 --> 04:28:28.520
they've actually had too much value from. It was the opening death of the last time that they were

04:28:28.520 --> 04:28:33.720
attacking onto this site so we asked them yet to see. Got zero, have that blackbeard available

04:28:33.720 --> 04:28:40.760
soon and we see that utility inside a site forcing the Blitz deeper, Foltz gets taken out, J90 down

04:28:40.760 --> 04:28:46.280
as well, leaves us a couple going down for phase along the way, but effectively 2v2,

04:28:46.280 --> 04:28:52.000
New as SuperLowHealth there's a lot of time on the clock, but you feel like first still in the driving seat.

04:28:52.000 --> 04:28:56.200
SuperLowHealth potentially on for an ace here as well. He's got a triple in the round.

04:28:56.200 --> 04:28:59.400
He finds the final two. This place is going to erupt.

04:28:59.400 --> 04:29:03.480
Jane I know, I think, recoverable. He's bottom of main stairs, tucked in, so it might be a tough one, however.

04:29:03.480 --> 04:29:06.040
Has got a teammate coming, but Tim, oh ho ho!

04:29:06.040 --> 04:29:09.160
Uncharacteristic from Solz to miss a couple of three shots.

04:29:09.160 --> 04:29:13.480
And the arguably paid the price. That impact should be enough to get Jane I know finished off.

04:29:13.480 --> 04:29:16.200
Great play by Solz, but that's another 30 seconds gone.

04:29:16.200 --> 04:29:22.140
The snake is still alive. So even if they don't have any drones, I can still get information as we see it from Noah as he goes in.

04:29:22.280 --> 04:29:26.060
See he's absolutely everything, like you say. It's one HP and a dream.

04:29:26.460 --> 04:29:29.700
Could be on for the ace if you can find either. They've already moved away here.

04:29:29.700 --> 04:29:30.580
Wait just to make sure.

04:29:30.580 --> 04:29:36.900
There's got the ball read on them, but again another scan comes on through as KDS finds NGR just as it appears on the screen in front of him.

04:29:36.980 --> 04:29:41.780
It's a big moment for Noah's once he's left and once towards his right. It feels like it's all asked him.

04:29:41.780 --> 04:29:44.860
You know where they are. The question is can you do anything about it?

04:29:44.860 --> 04:29:49.260
Almost full health on the side of Faze as well, you really feel like it's a matter of time.

04:29:49.260 --> 04:29:53.060
That man again, soles, steps up so solid, so stable.

04:29:53.060 --> 04:29:57.060
Managers, the quarter of that round, it's going to be Faze leveling things up, 2-2.

04:29:58.060 --> 04:30:01.060
Not only is Snake very effective at clearing the roams,

04:30:01.060 --> 04:30:04.460
or going for backstabs, but even just then in that 2v2 situation,

04:30:04.460 --> 04:30:07.060
he can just see where the team is.

04:30:14.860 --> 04:30:16.860
I'm just doing a small trick, you know, to...

04:30:16.860 --> 04:30:17.660
to... to die.

04:30:18.060 --> 04:30:18.560
Okay?

04:30:18.560 --> 04:30:19.360
I'm just...

04:30:19.660 --> 04:30:20.760
I'm just...

04:30:20.760 --> 04:30:24.760
I'm just getting a Muti there, so I can hit it, at least a little bit, to get it there, and then it's recored.

04:30:25.360 --> 04:30:29.560
Basically, we're going to play it in the recored, from the old way of playing, remember?

04:30:29.960 --> 04:30:30.660
Then I'm...

04:30:30.660 --> 04:30:31.460
Your warding?

04:30:32.260 --> 04:30:35.660
You can be the ward, and the Red can get a Ferri, so you don't have any surprises, like, from the front.

04:30:35.660 --> 04:30:36.360
Okay.

04:30:36.660 --> 04:30:37.260
Okay?

04:30:37.260 --> 04:30:38.360
Okay.

04:30:38.360 --> 04:30:39.260
And the KTB?

04:30:39.660 --> 04:30:41.660
In the KTB, we can get a lot of...

04:30:41.660 --> 04:30:42.960
My PNM is...

04:30:42.960 --> 04:30:44.160
Is getting a garage.

04:30:44.160 --> 04:30:48.000
We have to get a little bit more info about the game and then we'll be back

04:30:48.000 --> 04:30:49.600
Are you going to want to make a fix on this money?

04:30:49.600 --> 04:30:50.600
Now or not?

04:30:50.600 --> 04:30:51.600
Or do it again?

04:30:51.600 --> 04:30:52.600
Let's go

04:31:14.160 --> 04:31:21.160
We've got a translation coming through in our chat soon, but just to recap those first four rounds, we've had two of these so far both.

04:31:21.160 --> 04:31:25.160
Playing exactly as you'd expect, both really wanted to get this over the line.

04:31:25.160 --> 04:31:32.160
If that's your tactical time out there, Mike, what are you saying to the team at this point? 2-2, pretty solid, you know, even either side.

04:31:32.160 --> 04:31:34.160
What do you think they're trying to inject there?

04:31:34.160 --> 04:31:42.160
I think maybe FaZe has the read that, you know, DZ are using a lot of these one-off plays, maybe even cannering, what FaZe usually play.

04:31:42.160 --> 04:31:46.160
play, maybe FaZe might start getting even more aggressive on these defences

04:31:46.160 --> 04:31:49.600
because they have been especially on the gym bottom side just giving too much up

04:31:49.600 --> 04:31:54.080
to the attackers. So I think once we watch these next two rounds we'll have an

04:31:54.080 --> 04:31:57.120
idea of exactly what they could say during the time out.

04:31:57.120 --> 04:32:02.440
One thing I love about DZ throughout this tournament and the thing about you, it's felt like watching my perfectly patient

04:32:02.440 --> 04:32:05.800
surgical procedure at times. Like it's not watching a game of chess at points and a

04:32:05.800 --> 04:32:08.800
think coming up against FaZe, it's a perfect match in that regard. It really is a

04:32:08.800 --> 04:32:12.800
case of, who could execute down to the millisecond better than the other?

04:32:12.800 --> 04:32:16.800
Yeah, I just, I, I, the routine that I've really enjoyed watching at the minute, I enjoyed

04:32:16.800 --> 04:32:20.160
what I saw of them through kickoff, you know, obviously it's a roster that's been put together

04:32:20.160 --> 04:32:24.080
in March, it's kind of, you know, almost, I, I won't say it come out of nowhere, you know,

04:32:24.080 --> 04:32:27.600
we know it. It's in the decoy, yeah. Yeah, you know, we know these players, we know how good they are.

04:32:27.600 --> 04:32:32.640
But the way that they've been able to build this so quickly, so consistently, when you look at maybe

04:32:32.640 --> 04:32:36.240
some of the other rosters that have had changes in how they've had a little bit of difficulty getting

04:32:36.240 --> 04:32:41.200
running. It is really really impressive, and DarkZero continue to do that here. They've got the

04:32:41.200 --> 04:32:46.880
opening breach sorted, it's that CCTV breach done, Saagua is a push going to be playing on

04:32:46.880 --> 04:32:51.760
cash draw, but no more aggressively than that. So next step looks like here in that garage catwalk.

04:32:51.760 --> 04:32:57.600
Very interesting sense of throwing here. Five holes here. I'm actually going to think that they're

04:32:57.600 --> 04:33:01.760
going to run for the breach, or just use it as a bait, and newers will you know, flank off the main

04:33:01.760 --> 04:33:05.320
stairs but for now they're just applying pressure pushing and pulling the defenders

04:33:05.320 --> 04:33:07.760
and seeing you know what will eventually open up.

04:33:07.760 --> 04:33:11.000
The small skds back at the very least they won't be having got full control of

04:33:11.000 --> 04:33:15.760
Catwalk just yet he is still in there he has been forced way back to the top corner.

04:33:15.760 --> 04:33:20.360
He's just gonna continue trying to fight over this Raptor at the minute kick.

04:33:20.360 --> 04:33:23.960
He's holding on really well here he's got the breach open behind him he's got

04:33:23.960 --> 04:33:27.360
drones coming up the stairs he's being pushed from either side he's got

04:33:27.360 --> 04:33:33.040
capitol bolts coming in and somehow KDS continues the fight inside of that

04:33:33.040 --> 04:33:36.880
rain. Oh I thought he could have waited there for a second as he bolted over the

04:33:36.880 --> 04:33:39.020
balcony but no just caught one at the end of the

04:33:39.020 --> 04:33:42.420
nade and the fitness is now starting to make it move underneath it. Yeah he is he

04:33:42.420 --> 04:33:45.640
was just coming in from the basement he's moved up main stairs and he's gonna

04:33:45.640 --> 04:33:49.680
get himself through into lounges on the snake we'll see what impact he can have

04:33:49.680 --> 04:33:53.880
maybe a little late red stairs push coming in from him. It looked like Neewers

04:33:53.880 --> 04:33:56.760
was posturing to hit the back but I'll forget in that first pick they're just

04:33:56.760 --> 04:33:59.720
and you know send all of the numbers onto the one side and make sure no one is

04:33:59.720 --> 04:34:01.720
below for that crucial C4.

04:34:01.720 --> 04:34:04.600
There's nothing to wait for the hash of the most part. The thoughts is in all the

04:34:04.600 --> 04:34:09.240
utility, the renauging, the f-nut down, C4 comes over and gets to the man on the

04:34:09.240 --> 04:34:13.400
three, just one of the plan going down the beauty plate C4 from Cyber.

04:34:13.400 --> 04:34:17.240
A 4v2 breaking out and facing and looking under a great position to jump ahead

04:34:17.240 --> 04:34:20.200
here and take themselves up to 3 and 2 but just wait.

04:34:20.200 --> 04:34:23.800
And by one back it's got a shield on side, Jane I know, it's in this motion back

04:34:23.800 --> 04:34:25.800
pocket that he could work with here if necessary.

04:34:25.800 --> 04:34:28.800
It's looking rough, so the C4 from Sol's no!

04:34:28.800 --> 04:34:31.800
He's finished off! The C4's offline, down to a two, this is doable!

04:34:31.800 --> 04:34:35.800
There's a real opportunity, 15 seconds left to go, they need to recover this diffuser.

04:34:35.800 --> 04:34:39.800
That's what Kino's gonna do, and that kill gives an opportunity now to put it down.

04:34:39.800 --> 04:34:42.800
We're effectively 1v1 while Kino goes to the plant.

04:34:42.800 --> 04:34:46.800
It is all up to J90 to cover his teammate now.

04:34:46.800 --> 04:34:50.800
The shield is up, and all of a sudden, it's a huge advantage for DarkZero.

04:34:50.800 --> 04:34:55.800
Kino, Gen Aino have played this absolutely two-fifth time again!

04:34:55.800 --> 04:35:00.800
They're fighting the final kill, and what a turn around for Dark Zero!

04:35:01.800 --> 04:35:04.800
Beautifully played by the attackers around the 2v4.

04:35:04.800 --> 04:35:07.800
That C4 from side, they got them back in the driving seat,

04:35:07.800 --> 04:35:10.800
but as we saw Faze getting a bit too aggressive,

04:35:10.800 --> 04:35:13.800
not waiting for the 4v1 possibly,

04:35:13.800 --> 04:35:17.800
and just really, really, really well played from the attackers in the 2v4.

04:35:17.800 --> 04:35:19.800
You've always won a lot of coaches this event.

04:35:19.800 --> 04:35:22.200
Imagine this with a few moments, you've looked to Anderson and it's gone,

04:35:22.200 --> 04:35:26.480
oh, we were 5v3, oh, we were 4v2, or even 3v1, and it's gone wrong.

04:35:26.480 --> 04:35:27.800
What are you thinking in those moments?

04:35:27.800 --> 04:35:30.600
What do you often see being the cause for these things that go wrong?

04:35:30.600 --> 04:35:34.920
I'd definitely say not playing together 3-2-1s, you talk about a lot.

04:35:34.920 --> 04:35:38.000
I think, you know, face is not playing the round together.

04:35:38.000 --> 04:35:41.840
Even a win condition, you know, we can make sure we set win conditions under defense.

04:35:41.840 --> 04:35:44.000
How are we going to win the round? So everyone's on the same page.

04:35:44.000 --> 04:35:46.240
At what point are you setting that win condition, Mike?

04:35:46.240 --> 04:35:47.760
When's that conversation happening?

04:35:47.760 --> 04:35:50.000
Is that kind of a beginning of the round?

04:35:50.000 --> 04:35:51.360
You've all got an idea in your mind,

04:35:51.360 --> 04:35:53.040
and maybe then that has to be switched,

04:35:53.040 --> 04:35:55.320
or is it kind of that last 20, 30 second try?

04:35:55.320 --> 04:35:58.280
Here's confirmation of what we're going for.

04:35:58.280 --> 04:36:01.000
Honestly, it's just because the game is Siege,

04:36:01.000 --> 04:36:02.640
it can be at any point in the round.

04:36:02.640 --> 04:36:03.880
It can be in the start of the round,

04:36:03.880 --> 04:36:05.160
it can be at the end of the round.

04:36:05.160 --> 04:36:07.120
If you kill a hard breach, you might start of the round,

04:36:07.120 --> 04:36:09.000
that changes the round drastically.

04:36:09.000 --> 04:36:10.920
It's just about pulling anything

04:36:10.920 --> 04:36:13.280
so everyone gets on the same page.

04:36:13.280 --> 04:36:14.240
Third, if you see and say,

04:36:14.240 --> 04:36:15.960
you've heard a few coaches from all throughout the event say,

04:36:15.960 --> 04:36:17.480
we're trying to do two or three different things at once,

04:36:17.480 --> 04:36:21.320
and not on the same page. In fact, we heard it in the Twisted Minds game from you guys yesterday.

04:36:21.320 --> 04:36:23.560
We heard them speaking about it during one of their timeouts as well.

04:36:24.200 --> 04:36:29.080
Something that really resonated with our team, and especially our ITL Tyrone,

04:36:29.080 --> 04:36:33.480
was Fabian's talk with the G2 roster about, you know, we're all in different waves,

04:36:33.480 --> 04:36:34.600
so we just need to be on the same wave.

04:36:35.400 --> 04:36:37.240
I'll tell you what, that man's in fact.

04:36:37.240 --> 04:36:38.600
It's free worldwide!

04:36:38.600 --> 04:36:40.120
Oh no, where is Cochin?

04:36:40.120 --> 04:36:41.160
It is far reaching.

04:36:41.880 --> 04:36:43.800
All right, I see if that's doing it a 4-2.

04:36:43.800 --> 04:36:47.000
This would be a dream, because the Twisted Minds playing earlier and I said,

04:36:47.000 --> 04:36:51.240
for me. They've been phenomenal at attacking this map throughout the event. It took four rounds

04:36:51.240 --> 04:36:56.600
to go against G2, four rounds to go against Enterprise, three rounds in the series earlier on today.

04:36:56.600 --> 04:37:00.920
Dark Zero looking to repeat that and maintain that mantle as best attacking team. Just remember

04:37:00.920 --> 04:37:05.640
that Ratero drone that we've just seen there. That's softening up main stairs to give an avenue,

04:37:05.640 --> 04:37:09.880
to give an option for later on in the round. It may not be that Dark Zero will use it,

04:37:09.880 --> 04:37:13.800
but it's worth keeping in the back of your mind. It's largely going to depend on what happens with

04:37:13.800 --> 04:37:18.800
If they get pushed away from Main Stairs, it's something now that Dark Zero can take advantage of.

04:37:18.800 --> 04:37:21.800
And I like that. They're setting up options for themselves.

04:37:21.800 --> 04:37:24.800
You know, so if they do go for a cast clearance and it's not working,

04:37:24.800 --> 04:37:29.800
maybe we can put a bit of pressure on Main and create a bit of space for ourselves.

04:37:29.800 --> 04:37:32.800
Honestly, in today's suit, creating these opportunities at the start of the round,

04:37:32.800 --> 04:37:34.800
so you can use them later in the round.

04:37:34.800 --> 04:37:35.800
It's the meta right now.

04:37:35.800 --> 04:37:39.800
If it's not working, you always have to be, you know, wary that you can use these other avenues.

04:37:39.800 --> 04:37:44.800
and especially as a defender, someone has to be watching those mainstays or someone will creep up.

04:37:45.800 --> 04:37:50.800
It's often here about this trap that has to be designed to control the gaps that often exist in defences

04:37:50.800 --> 04:37:53.800
because you have to control so much the map and four or five players can't do that.

04:37:53.800 --> 04:37:59.800
All by themselves, the traps do often help, even if it's barbed wire, it's still a form of slowing people down.

04:37:59.800 --> 04:38:02.800
KDS taking his charge on four, will he get a freebie here?

04:38:02.800 --> 04:38:06.800
Surely no, NJR misses him! Off to wall is the right, KDS with a freebie.

04:38:06.800 --> 04:38:09.240
Freebie, now has a chance to continue being aggressive.

04:38:09.240 --> 04:38:12.000
Controller Cassidy C is so important elsewhere.

04:38:12.000 --> 04:38:13.840
We get kills round back and forth, Tim,

04:38:13.840 --> 04:38:15.880
but right now, it's Bayes in the driving seat.

04:38:15.880 --> 04:38:17.720
I love that, Cranky, yes.

04:38:17.720 --> 04:38:20.160
How much work has he done for his team there?

04:38:20.160 --> 04:38:22.280
He might be down, but it doesn't matter,

04:38:22.280 --> 04:38:24.160
because the round is practically won.

04:38:24.160 --> 04:38:25.640
He's wasted two minutes.

04:38:25.640 --> 04:38:28.320
He's got some slippery movement going on.

04:38:28.320 --> 04:38:32.040
To find that kill on to the air, he has done so, so much.

04:38:32.040 --> 04:38:33.880
And the rest of Bayes now, what did they do?

04:38:33.880 --> 04:38:35.480
They all just back away.

04:38:35.480 --> 04:38:37.560
You know what, you come and find those newers.

04:38:37.560 --> 04:38:39.860
The work is up for you to do.

04:38:39.860 --> 04:38:43.220
Diffuses down, you've got to be all the way through the map.

04:38:43.220 --> 04:38:44.860
And meanwhile, what do fears do?

04:38:44.860 --> 04:38:46.760
Sit back and hold those angles.

04:38:46.760 --> 04:38:49.320
There's it's almost hands off keyboard time.

04:38:49.320 --> 04:38:51.320
Just letting push us.

04:38:51.320 --> 04:38:52.760
Bases to the next for the next week,

04:38:52.760 --> 04:38:53.920
one by one like the rice round,

04:38:53.920 --> 04:38:56.680
and you know, perfect shot by souls at end around.

04:38:56.680 --> 04:38:57.520
It happens sometimes.

04:38:57.520 --> 04:38:59.400
It's always hard to pull off those big touch situations,

04:38:59.400 --> 04:39:02.200
especially against a team as structured as FaZe.

04:39:02.200 --> 04:39:03.040
And in the round replay,

04:39:03.040 --> 04:39:04.560
we saw two players both stepping out there

04:39:04.560 --> 04:39:08.720
to look for the trade, so we're guaranteed to get away with it outside of some magical

04:39:08.720 --> 04:39:09.720
god shots.

04:39:09.720 --> 04:39:12.720
But we're going to our halftime, let's have a listen to what the teams have got to say.

04:39:12.720 --> 04:39:14.120
We're looking to flow on these guys, pretty hard.

04:39:14.120 --> 04:39:17.120
They telegraph, fucking flow, contestant, hammering hard.

04:39:17.120 --> 04:39:18.120
Yeah.

04:39:18.120 --> 04:39:19.120
Well, hard hammering.

04:39:19.120 --> 04:39:24.160
On that attack F2, we were in control of every single round there where we're on sync with

04:39:24.160 --> 04:39:25.160
each other.

04:39:25.160 --> 04:39:27.800
So for whatever reason it does affect the overtime, just keep it incredibly simple.

04:39:27.800 --> 04:39:30.200
And if we're going for a cash over, clear that boater, make sure that we're getting

04:39:30.200 --> 04:39:31.960
the fucking pressure from below.

04:39:31.960 --> 04:39:32.960
We have to have bottom pressure.

04:39:32.960 --> 04:39:33.960
That was such a free view.

04:39:33.960 --> 04:39:38.800
It's also to like realize what he's doing like you spot for like the lyric kind of pattern

04:39:38.800 --> 04:39:42.560
I'll think you do something similar as a wall card like you use it the snake works across identifies the fucking rat

04:39:42.560 --> 04:39:46.240
Then we just have the red guy and we're gonna go. Yeah, I don't need to get over time. I think we're in here

04:39:46.520 --> 04:39:48.520
Yeah, yeah, we got this

04:39:48.760 --> 04:39:51.760
Yeah, they're actually loaded pants, bro. What are you doing first?

04:39:51.760 --> 04:39:52.760
Cache face

04:39:53.520 --> 04:39:55.520
Cache face? Yeah

04:39:56.080 --> 04:39:58.080
Heard head back

04:39:58.080 --> 04:40:01.400
Bro, it's so weird, all the lights are fucking rad there, I couldn't see

04:40:31.400 --> 04:40:33.400
That's it, let's go to the repair.

04:40:33.400 --> 04:40:35.400
Where?

04:40:37.400 --> 04:40:39.400
To the repair of the game.

04:40:39.400 --> 04:40:41.400
I don't have a problem with the old one.

04:40:41.400 --> 04:40:43.400
It's the old one of the game.

04:40:43.400 --> 04:41:06.920
That's what I'm talking about.

04:41:06.920 --> 04:41:08.920
Both teams want to say very little.

04:41:08.920 --> 04:41:11.880
That's not the first time we've seen call-out really reflect on the first half, right?

04:41:11.880 --> 04:41:18.400
what's coming up. Any thoughts on that Mac? Honestly, a little bit confusing for me. Maybe

04:41:18.400 --> 04:41:23.080
it's just... I don't want to share input with you, I think. That is also a possibility,

04:41:23.080 --> 04:41:28.260
especially for my team. We just forget about, you know, the previous half and only talk

04:41:28.260 --> 04:41:32.080
about the next half. Just, you know, reset the mental and make sure everyone's focused

04:41:32.080 --> 04:41:37.000
on what we're going to do as, you know, another Monte-Kade band for the first bands. Interestingly

04:41:37.000 --> 04:41:41.800
enough dark zero they said that they want to run their cash phase defense first

04:41:41.800 --> 04:41:46.000
interesting that they want to run the phase defense against phase so we'll see

04:41:46.000 --> 04:41:50.160
how it's almost like they've got a bunch of prep in and they've got an idea to

04:41:50.160 --> 04:41:56.880
be facing the thing is everybody's got an idea of how to be fair so it's just

04:41:56.880 --> 04:41:58.880
And then they play them.

04:41:58.880 --> 04:42:01.880
Everyone's got a plan till they get punched in the first test.

04:42:01.880 --> 04:42:03.880
Punched in the face?

04:42:03.880 --> 04:42:05.880
Punched in the first, go on.

04:42:05.880 --> 04:42:08.880
I'll give you that one. That's what it's all about.

04:42:08.880 --> 04:42:11.880
Yes, you can have the plans, it's about that delivery.

04:42:11.880 --> 04:42:15.880
I think so far, what I'm loving about this game is we've seen both teams delivering.

04:42:15.880 --> 04:42:18.880
These rounds are being won rather than lost a lot of the time,

04:42:18.880 --> 04:42:21.880
maybe outside of the 2v4, but that's it, we've definitely won that round,

04:42:21.880 --> 04:42:25.880
but you never win a 2v4 without the other team giving you the opportunity to win it as well.

04:42:25.880 --> 04:42:31.080
as well. But yeah, on the by and large, I think all teams have been playing really good siege

04:42:31.080 --> 04:42:37.480
and it's shaken up for it to be a fantastic matchup. So if Darkseer can get this first one won,

04:42:37.480 --> 04:42:40.520
then we really do have that possibility of a three-round remap.

04:42:41.320 --> 04:42:45.400
Interesting from Darkseer is that they are running to Chanka instead of the smoke.

04:42:45.400 --> 04:42:50.600
Chanka can waste time for a lot longer. And I'm hoping that, yes, we're going to see the two top

04:42:50.600 --> 04:42:54.560
garage reinforcements it's just you know they're better right now for the

04:42:54.560 --> 04:42:58.120
zombie to play up there to die and what we will see is that the chunk actually

04:42:58.120 --> 04:43:02.440
use his gadget above that reinforcement to stop any attackers opening that wall

04:43:02.440 --> 04:43:07.160
with any hard-to-reach gadgets all right well let's see how long they can do that

04:43:07.160 --> 04:43:11.360
for time wasting may well be the name of the game you know phase you think of

04:43:11.360 --> 04:43:15.240
them as fine structured powerful juggernaut of a team but not one that

04:43:15.240 --> 04:43:17.760
we say are ever particularly quick in there if we know let's get the job done

04:43:17.760 --> 04:43:22.560
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're always up against the clock, but storm them out, me they'll be away.

04:43:22.560 --> 04:43:24.960
Find a few eggs, you're going to be away from them.

04:43:24.960 --> 04:43:29.060
So I've been heading straight over to get the wall open into jacuzzi.

04:43:29.060 --> 04:43:33.660
This is something else that was in change recently, we used to always see that bottom garage reinforced.

04:43:33.660 --> 04:43:37.160
We all have soft thought at the time now to afford extra reinforcement,

04:43:37.160 --> 04:43:41.860
but jacuzzi wall from master bedroom wall, and we're seeing these much bigger extensions.

04:43:41.860 --> 04:43:47.160
The extensions are a new thing, but I think the size and commitment behind that master extension

04:43:47.160 --> 04:43:49.160
has definitely changed recently.

04:43:49.160 --> 04:43:50.660
It's definitely changed recently.

04:43:50.660 --> 04:43:53.160
You just can't give the Tucker's master for any more

04:43:53.160 --> 04:43:55.160
because once they take control of Master,

04:43:55.160 --> 04:43:57.660
you have actually just nowhere to play onside

04:43:57.660 --> 04:44:00.660
because they can also just take the garage side after.

04:44:00.660 --> 04:44:02.160
And, you know, as a defender,

04:44:02.160 --> 04:44:04.660
defending the Master side with reinforcements with gadgets,

04:44:04.660 --> 04:44:06.660
it's just really hard to attack into.

04:44:06.660 --> 04:44:08.660
The patience by souls here.

04:44:08.660 --> 04:44:11.160
Even knowing someone's run out behind and doesn't spin,

04:44:11.160 --> 04:44:13.160
expects a swing to come in but knows the player off to his left.

04:44:13.160 --> 04:44:15.160
It's got no chance of being able to charge that far forward.

04:44:15.160 --> 04:44:18.000
Trust his teammate to help him out more than anything.

04:44:18.000 --> 04:44:21.160
Neuers has very much slipped the net though, hasn't bothered coming up towards the full table.

04:44:21.160 --> 04:44:25.160
And so that is Solz's little bit of a dream to step away and take a challenge onto NJR,

04:44:25.160 --> 04:44:28.660
who's speaking about the importance of him to deny the breach in towards Catwalk.

04:44:28.660 --> 04:44:32.160
So far, he hasn't been particularly contested in a lot of fires by Force Jane.

04:44:32.160 --> 04:44:33.160
I know it won't work.

04:44:33.160 --> 04:44:35.660
And Solz will get Kino. It's just a roar comes through.

04:44:35.660 --> 04:44:38.660
KDS won for himself. Baze, their patience pays off Tim.

04:44:38.660 --> 04:44:42.660
I think Kino's just learnt a bit of a lesson there about playing with those BMRs.

04:44:42.660 --> 04:44:44.660
You really can't be peeking into them.

04:44:44.660 --> 04:44:49.300
But how about this? A missed opportunity for them down in oil pit!

04:44:49.300 --> 04:44:53.300
One of the chances, handy, does manage to take down you as though face.

04:44:53.300 --> 04:44:57.300
They just keep on rolling. They haven't even touched sight yet mate.

04:44:58.500 --> 04:45:02.260
Tries that might hear. I think Dark Zero are against a rising tide.

04:45:02.260 --> 04:45:05.540
Cyber at least going down. As we come to the last 30 to fire,

04:45:05.540 --> 04:45:09.620
you can see he's starting to rain out from NJR. But now he's down too.

04:45:09.620 --> 04:45:13.140
It's a poor versus one, a C4 on towards the window. Will miss.

04:45:13.140 --> 04:45:18.300
And now they know exactly where Fulc's this one feels like it's going to come to a pretty fit of inclusion

04:45:18.300 --> 04:45:22.580
The dark zero may have had a plan to try and get rid of phase here the phase defense

04:45:22.580 --> 04:45:25.380
But it's a flawless round for phase in response

04:45:26.260 --> 04:45:32.140
Honestly in a defense like that where you have to waste time and play the utility with the Tachanka the C4s

04:45:32.140 --> 04:45:34.220
You can even use the thorn traps at another plant

04:45:35.340 --> 04:45:42.900
Azami should be the only person dying in that situation and you know thorn peeking out there and dying was not good at all

04:45:43.140 --> 04:45:49.940
Honestly Dark Zero just not playing to the strength of that strategy in particular and dying one by one before they even go to the execute.

04:45:49.940 --> 04:45:55.640
This moment I really like because they had a couple of players trying to challenge onto more souls which to me showed at least they know where souls is going to play.

04:45:55.640 --> 04:46:00.440
They've analysed how FaZe attacked this round in particular where they stick their players and what they've got to do about it.

04:46:00.440 --> 04:46:07.140
But even with a new-age run out, even with Kino trying to peek on through, even with Jaina I know, trying to be aggressive as well to try and trip FaZe up.

04:46:07.140 --> 04:46:12.140
This is what Call Out was saying, you can't really spring the surprise on them, you've got to beat them at the fundamentals.

04:46:12.140 --> 04:46:15.940
Well, like you said, they've analysed FaZe's attacks, they know where they're going to be coming from,

04:46:15.940 --> 04:46:21.940
I've just wondering if they've actually analysed what happens when you put your face into a window against FaZe,

04:46:21.940 --> 04:46:26.440
because I think they've just found out first hand there was a big risk coming in there from Kino,

04:46:26.440 --> 04:46:31.640
and I don't think, you know, I really stood to gain too much from it, I'm sure it'll be less than learned, they'll rein it back in,

04:46:31.640 --> 04:46:35.740
but, well, I'd be concerned as a Darkseer or a fan after that first defensive half,

04:46:35.740 --> 04:46:41.340
because FaZe didn't just win, that wasn't just one fight against Thor, they've won every single fight,

04:46:41.340 --> 04:46:48.740
They're force those fights on their own terms and they didn't even ever really need to get near site big problem for dark zero

04:46:49.340 --> 04:46:53.020
Hopefully dark zero, you know, I've talked about that previous round and gone guys

04:46:53.020 --> 04:46:55.780
We're just picking too aggressively, you know peeking out these windows

04:46:55.780 --> 04:46:59.480
We need to play to our operator line up and to the gadgets into the wind condition

04:47:00.820 --> 04:47:03.980
Well this round looks very much like it's again trying to waste a lot of time

04:47:03.980 --> 04:47:07.660
So commonly see this cash CC extension for reasons that are well known by now

04:47:07.660 --> 04:47:11.980
you want to try and hold on to cash for cc because of the window that looks over this south balcony.

04:47:11.980 --> 04:47:16.220
If you don't have control of cash cc you've got to do what souls is doing now be very very careful

04:47:16.220 --> 04:47:19.900
you've got to have players that's under the roof watching these windows it just gives you two or three

04:47:19.900 --> 04:47:24.140
more things that you have to think about to get in control of that hole really important. It doesn't

04:47:24.140 --> 04:47:28.300
mean being inside the room necessarily as you said many a time Tim sometimes it's about opening up

04:47:28.300 --> 04:47:32.860
the breach and just being able to see through to that window to ensure no defender can be on it.

04:47:32.860 --> 04:47:37.100
There's a moving pretty well here. Cyber's got himself underneath he's now got control of

04:47:37.100 --> 04:47:40.780
So they don't need to worry about any flanking or any pressure coming from bar

04:47:40.780 --> 04:47:46.060
You've got this pressure as well coming from catwalk KBS opening that long angle through into cash

04:47:46.060 --> 04:47:49.220
So folks has to be careful in this position here

04:47:49.220 --> 04:47:54.380
He's moved himself through to red instead, but his movement is going to be hampered very very soon

04:47:54.380 --> 04:47:56.380
This net is gonna tighten quickly

04:47:57.060 --> 04:48:00.780
I try and waste as much time as they can it's important not to lose simply play a dream

04:48:00.780 --> 04:48:01.980
Look at where you're losing one here

04:48:01.980 --> 04:48:04.740
We don't lose too many if nothing else get kills and sure enough

04:48:04.740 --> 04:48:09.400
They've got the Grim on the other side, normally so critical, they're hitting side, as you can see.

04:48:09.400 --> 04:48:11.740
They've said, cool guys, we've got the kill, back away.

04:48:11.740 --> 04:48:16.740
And that's perfect there, yes, they've got the kill, they've identified, they don't want to stick around like that last round.

04:48:16.740 --> 04:48:19.740
They want to fall back, they want to claim their positions on site.

04:48:19.740 --> 04:48:22.740
Angle delegate and make sure they're in his cover.

04:48:22.740 --> 04:48:23.740
Angle delegate.

04:48:23.740 --> 04:48:25.740
I like that as well.

04:48:25.740 --> 04:48:28.740
As you can imagine, it's something we've heard before, but I quite like it as a phrase.

04:48:28.740 --> 04:48:31.740
Delegate off, keep holding, watch angles.

04:48:31.740 --> 04:48:34.780
Doesn't that mean they conceded over control of Cache CC?

04:48:34.780 --> 04:48:37.300
South Alchemy is now much easier for Faze to play.

04:48:37.300 --> 04:48:39.340
That's where we've got Viddicking, the inset on the window.

04:48:39.340 --> 04:48:42.020
A couple of players working their way in from the Cache CC side.

04:48:42.020 --> 04:48:45.260
But for Vivus around here, it's in, but it looks like a big focus on the gym plan.

04:48:45.260 --> 04:48:47.380
NJR underneath is what's to remember.

04:48:47.380 --> 04:48:49.660
He's got Nitro in hand, he's playing in bar.

04:48:49.660 --> 04:48:52.260
He could be a big win condition here for DarkZero,

04:48:52.260 --> 04:48:56.900
just to deny any plant opportunity elsewhere, though J9 are doing the nine.

04:48:56.900 --> 04:48:59.460
They're hoping that you never have to use them.

04:48:59.460 --> 04:49:04.980
But if they do need to, NJR makes sure he's in position to still do the job.

04:49:04.980 --> 04:49:09.540
Cyber drops down and finds the trade, but still, Fizz on a real back foot here.

04:49:09.540 --> 04:49:12.660
Dark zero, nice and dear, different from that last round.

04:49:12.660 --> 04:49:14.340
Four versus two now, Des.

04:49:14.340 --> 04:49:17.140
Angle delegate. Time to angle delegate. Let's get ourselves set in.

04:49:17.140 --> 04:49:21.540
You notice any two on the other side that can set up two separate 2v1s here, if necessary.

04:49:21.540 --> 04:49:24.100
The navel be a giveaway on where this push is coming from.

04:49:24.100 --> 04:49:26.260
When we go with Solz, we see now Biggie can be in the clutch team,

04:49:26.260 --> 04:49:29.460
But it's a lot to do against four on the other side right idea with a shot

04:49:29.460 --> 04:49:32.500
But not by flying the man knew it's good for three in the rounds

04:49:33.020 --> 04:49:35.020
Dar zero with a convincing round eight

04:49:35.660 --> 04:49:42.760
Honestly, just great work from dark zero there realizing their mistakes from the previous round and then straight away falling back after they got that first

04:49:42.760 --> 04:49:44.100
Pick against phase

04:49:44.100 --> 04:49:48.820
Interestingly enough because of the ace band there was a mute jammer actually on the jacuzzi wall

04:49:48.940 --> 04:49:54.660
So a late round, you know, there was no jacuzzi pressure. So it was a lot easier for the defenders to just watch the cap side

04:49:56.260 --> 04:49:58.260
I love that entry as well.

04:49:58.260 --> 04:50:00.460
The teamwork between Neuers and Foltz.

04:50:00.460 --> 04:50:02.460
Neuers didn't take a single shot.

04:50:02.460 --> 04:50:04.300
Didn't really announce his presence.

04:50:04.300 --> 04:50:06.060
Whereas Foltz, he was busy.

04:50:06.060 --> 04:50:07.580
He was moving everywhere.

04:50:07.580 --> 04:50:09.700
He was fighting KDS on Catwalk.

04:50:09.700 --> 04:50:11.900
He was taking shots from Red Door,

04:50:11.900 --> 04:50:13.700
taking shots from inside a cache.

04:50:13.700 --> 04:50:14.660
But who got the kill?

04:50:14.660 --> 04:50:16.700
It was Neuers who just sat there waiting.

04:50:16.700 --> 04:50:19.580
It was an angle that it felt like Foltz were unaware of.

04:50:19.580 --> 04:50:21.340
They were not prepared for that fight.

04:50:21.340 --> 04:50:22.740
And Neuers just picked it up beautifully.

04:50:22.740 --> 04:50:25.180
And as you said, Magden, it was just, yep, that's job done.

04:50:25.180 --> 04:50:30.340
We know fall back beautiful stuff from dark zero great defense, and it looks again

04:50:30.420 --> 04:50:35.020
Like we are just gonna continue back and forward in this one. Well, I like about this sets up here

04:50:35.020 --> 04:50:38.700
And I want to hear your thoughts on it as well now going in towards the new across back in the way those drones

04:50:38.700 --> 04:50:43.780
I want to shoot through the pennies they can because playing a lot behind the balcony a lot behind the soul is so much intel

04:50:43.780 --> 04:50:48.940
But also Intel's an aisle available on their side here all trying to slow phase down. Yes, the mute. Obviously

04:50:49.860 --> 04:50:52.660
Mute up the drone that are coming for the top floor, but

04:50:52.660 --> 04:50:58.940
but cyber also known for his snake and daimos so definitely trying to counter cyber in those

04:50:58.940 --> 04:51:03.500
picks as well. The Valkyrie as well is just a really great operator especially for Basement

04:51:03.500 --> 04:51:05.100
for the retexer and C4s.

04:51:05.100 --> 04:51:07.780
What's your thought on when to bring one of the other scrims you see so from the 3 in

04:51:07.780 --> 04:51:09.620
daimos or the snake? Any strong thoughts?

04:51:09.620 --> 04:51:15.500
I think it depends on the player or mainly the sight, what sight you're attacking. Basement

04:51:15.500 --> 04:51:19.700
can't really take a back stab with snake, you can only clear the map really quickly

04:51:19.700 --> 04:51:24.060
And Daymoss you can also just use to take gunfights and make sure to get players out of positions.

04:51:25.180 --> 04:51:28.300
One more for Raps, one more for Kitting Sight and winning out the gunfights.

04:51:28.300 --> 04:51:29.260
Shock horror then.

04:51:29.260 --> 04:51:31.540
Sixth Cyber on Hotgun here, of course.

04:51:31.540 --> 04:51:35.460
Once we get that track coming on through, someone on the other side could be in a spot of hotbother

04:51:35.460 --> 04:51:37.460
if Natsat's on a mute drone.

04:51:37.460 --> 04:51:40.700
About 60 seconds in though, now starting to ask questions of this Top 4.

04:51:40.700 --> 04:51:42.420
A lot of clearance work to do, that's it.

04:51:42.420 --> 04:51:45.260
Yeah, you got three still up there, Kino, Fultz, Jen, I know.

04:51:45.260 --> 04:51:48.140
All walking to hold onto positions on Top 4.

04:51:48.140 --> 04:51:51.460
Jen I know with the Azami on Catwalk is the one that I'm watching he's gonna be

04:51:51.460 --> 04:51:55.740
tough to force out a position here using those keeper barricades just to keep the

04:51:55.740 --> 04:52:00.420
breach of fear this is all burning time we're a minute ten into the round and

04:52:00.420 --> 04:52:04.900
there's they're yet to get in the map nobody apart from Viking down in dirt

04:52:04.900 --> 04:52:09.620
tunnel but even that's kind of external they are all outside here.

04:52:09.620 --> 04:52:12.500
The aggression is all right look Nuis spraying into the garage wall trying to

04:52:12.500 --> 04:52:15.500
catch them out on front door they're just trying to basically keep face outside

04:52:15.500 --> 04:52:18.460
the building for as long as they can. It's why they were committing keepers on

04:52:18.460 --> 04:52:22.780
towards the breach once it had been opened up. They really want to slow down the world champions here

04:52:22.780 --> 04:52:26.940
and make them think. But NJR is going to go down to a couple of gunshots and then get finished off

04:52:26.940 --> 04:52:33.260
by a NAVE from Biddiqui. Uh-oh, oh boy. Here we go. Tolls on the cook and into a five versus two

04:52:33.260 --> 04:52:38.220
phase. Just a 75 second left. So let's go. Let's get inside right now. Get the flood. Take down

04:52:38.220 --> 04:52:41.900
what they need. Bolts might get one back. Unfortunately, it's a little bit too late to

04:52:41.900 --> 04:52:46.140
the party, but Frady, it's going to be an A-Sword bust, and as you might expect, that was a bust.

04:52:46.140 --> 04:52:49.660
Some great opportunity spot in there, Mag. Is that just a case of, look,

04:52:49.660 --> 04:52:54.060
this room here down in the basement, they've got three on top floor, we go here.

04:52:54.060 --> 04:52:59.500
Yes, absolutely, FaZe doing a great job of not giving away the first pick, and then identifying,

04:52:59.500 --> 04:53:03.420
you know, where the defenders are and where the gap is. And that gap was Bar, that had,

04:53:03.420 --> 04:53:07.580
you know, the main door castled, so they could just get an easy entry, and just honestly,

04:53:07.580 --> 04:53:12.140
really really good mid-round adaption from face to identify you know where the open space is where

04:53:12.140 --> 04:53:17.260
they can hit and they just did it all together at once. Easy time out coming in here because

04:53:19.260 --> 04:53:22.860
we're talking about the goers and dirt like we normally do and then for cash I don't know what

04:53:22.860 --> 04:53:25.740
you think but I think we could do that same extension back they're probably going to split off that

04:53:26.300 --> 04:53:29.260
we could just put bond Jager instead give jack the x-ray to us just because we didn't ban the

04:53:29.260 --> 04:53:32.060
cap doll they're going to keep fucking hammering that off for the raptor side and then that Jager

04:53:32.060 --> 04:53:36.140
will just more time to actually react off that and then float back to like lounge side or just

04:53:36.140 --> 04:53:39.580
Whatever just lay more time off that kind of forcement to a split which they're going to run set up

04:53:40.220 --> 04:53:44.620
For car. Yeah, we rigged Yeager on the castle. He holds a bunch. So yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying

04:53:44.780 --> 04:53:47.980
Well, I still want to extend them the opposite side though on the mesh. Yeah, we are we are

04:53:49.100 --> 04:53:53.340
And then for a basement, let's just honestly run a rumble three to go in for the site side and then just play our normal air

04:53:53.500 --> 04:53:55.500
Because they already never shit that we talked about

04:54:00.220 --> 04:54:02.220
Cash base

04:54:03.100 --> 04:54:05.100
A zombie Yeager

04:54:06.140 --> 04:54:19.140
So, as we have just heard from Call-Out, they're gonna run the exact same cast rat. Will the defenders die first? Azami should be the only one dying first, and after that they need to just play with their U-Tool to deny the plant.

04:54:19.140 --> 04:54:31.140
So we'll see how DZ go about this the second time, but also, especially as Mataka, if you see the same setup again, you know where the enemy's gonna play. You know where the weak spots are, so play is also an advantage in this situation.

04:54:31.140 --> 04:54:34.460
situation. I think what really worked last time for FaZe, and they're showing it, especially

04:54:34.460 --> 04:54:37.980
I think in the first round, this half and then in the third, was what is going to play

04:54:37.980 --> 04:54:41.260
really sorry to start. Let them pull off the madness they want to do, they want to spawn

04:54:41.260 --> 04:54:44.900
P because they want to try the crazy stuff, let them do it, and then we'll ramp up the

04:54:44.900 --> 04:54:48.380
tempo when it best suits us. Once we've got a couple of kills, we'll want this spot that

04:54:48.380 --> 04:54:51.900
there is a gap, and I forget who it was that spoke to last night, one of the coaches that

04:54:51.900 --> 04:54:54.940
were at this morning, and we were having a conversation and I was saying, what kind of

04:54:54.940 --> 04:54:58.300
stars do you prefer playing against? Past, not slow like, what do you feel more equipped

04:54:58.300 --> 04:55:02.540
to beat. And they said honestly the frustration isn't in beating a slow team or a fast team,

04:55:02.540 --> 04:55:06.140
it's one that can change two stars in the middle of a round. Because you get here kind of in the

04:55:06.140 --> 04:55:10.380
tempo of the cable playing squad, we can play slow to match it and then bam they go really fast

04:55:10.380 --> 04:55:14.300
as you come to the scramble and you can't really deal with that sudden change in pressure. I think

04:55:14.300 --> 04:55:19.100
FaZe are showing that really well so far. Let's keep an eye out for that entry done with the

04:55:19.100 --> 04:55:22.700
Insalmi. He's going to be returning to Garage-Azul's feet, you can just see the silhouette in the

04:55:22.700 --> 04:55:27.180
distance. He was going to be thinking about that couple but he's actually going to be J9O on the

04:55:27.180 --> 04:55:33.440
Yeager that's going to be positioned up there, but either way, that's the position that we're going to be looking at for his attacking onto Kino.

04:55:33.440 --> 04:55:37.300
I'm sure he's going to be keeping his head out of windows this time, does?

04:55:37.300 --> 04:55:42.480
He is on the master side of things. He is the one playing that extension.

04:55:42.480 --> 04:55:48.140
But as you say, Mike, at the minute 45 seconds in, DarkZero offering nothing at this point.

04:55:48.140 --> 04:55:50.360
They are doing a really good job of staying alive.

04:55:50.360 --> 04:55:53.260
Interesting, Liam, have they left the thermite off?

04:55:53.260 --> 04:55:56.060
You know, if they had been a thermite, come on, slide it in.

04:55:56.060 --> 04:55:57.500
Well, that's it, they're inside site, right?

04:55:57.500 --> 04:55:58.980
Let's forget about the stuff from last time.

04:55:58.980 --> 04:56:00.940
Forget sitting around for half-time waiting.

04:56:00.940 --> 04:56:03.980
Let's go quick, and it's absolutely torn them a new one.

04:56:03.980 --> 04:56:06.580
NJR is down, it's recoverable as is Jaina, I know,

04:56:06.580 --> 04:56:09.620
but it's such a risk when you've got the Lions cut scan coming out,

04:56:09.620 --> 04:56:11.700
when you've got the Dock and Be Cool coming on through.

04:56:11.700 --> 04:56:15.060
We're effectively two versus four, sorry, two versus three at the minute,

04:56:15.060 --> 04:56:16.420
and I think the problem here is,

04:56:16.420 --> 04:56:19.220
can Darkseer or recover anybody realistically?

04:56:19.220 --> 04:56:21.420
There might be an opportunity for NJR,

04:56:21.420 --> 04:56:23.420
Kino's just getting there now,

04:56:23.420 --> 04:56:27.180
But he's very concerned about whether he's being watched or not.

04:56:27.180 --> 04:56:29.100
There you go, finished off by KDN.

04:56:29.100 --> 04:56:31.820
This is just absolutely clinical from praise.

04:56:31.820 --> 04:56:33.100
Not letting him breathe at all.

04:56:33.100 --> 04:56:35.820
J-Nano, he is for all intents and purposes done.

04:56:35.820 --> 04:56:37.500
There was nowhere he was getting up.

04:56:37.500 --> 04:56:42.620
It is all up to Neuers on that as Army now to try and hold on from top right, Des.

04:56:42.620 --> 04:56:44.060
Suffocating, aren't they, Phae?

04:56:44.060 --> 04:56:45.420
He's absolutely terrifying.

04:56:45.420 --> 04:56:46.940
Neuers finding one.

04:56:46.940 --> 04:56:48.940
Expecting to get pushed, but it doesn't come on through.

04:56:48.940 --> 04:56:51.180
Bit of King still with a call available in back pocket.

04:56:51.180 --> 04:56:52.220
They can do something here.

04:56:52.220 --> 04:56:55.500
And the diffuser, by the way, is out in jacuzzi. It is miles away.

04:56:55.500 --> 04:56:58.860
They want to play for kills, but he's got one that's got a look for the last one he won.

04:56:58.860 --> 04:57:01.980
Onto Handy. He's 14 and 7 in the game.

04:57:01.980 --> 04:57:04.300
Surely, if anyone can do it, it's him.

04:57:04.300 --> 04:57:07.740
Neuers isn't necessarily going to know that diffuser isn't in hand here,

04:57:07.740 --> 04:57:11.020
so he's just trying to play a mixture, play for a little bit of time.

04:57:11.020 --> 04:57:15.740
But he also knows that he can't just give them sides, at least to his mind.

04:57:15.740 --> 04:57:18.780
He goes to try and get a little bit of ground back.

04:57:18.780 --> 04:57:22.620
I called that position top red, and he can't win the gunfight phase.

04:57:22.620 --> 04:57:26.780
They caused out a round that was probably a little bit closer than it should have been for them.

04:57:26.780 --> 04:57:30.420
Honestly, I've hit the nail on the head there, the pacing by FaZe just then.

04:57:30.420 --> 04:57:33.740
They've started out nice and slow, and then just so I've just taken the gap

04:57:33.740 --> 04:57:35.820
and the whole FaZe team reacting off it.

04:57:35.820 --> 04:57:38.340
Honestly, DZ did a really good job of bringing it back,

04:57:38.340 --> 04:57:41.380
but unfortunately, they just couldn't pick up their teammates.

04:57:41.380 --> 04:57:43.140
It ended up just being a 2v3.

04:57:43.140 --> 04:57:45.820
I think that's probably FaZe adapted to what they saw last time as well.

04:57:45.820 --> 04:57:48.820
They want to play this very heavy roam set up on the top floor.

04:57:48.820 --> 04:57:51.820
We've got two or three players out towards destruction, gym, bedroom.

04:57:51.820 --> 04:57:53.820
You've got one that's out playing inside a cap wall.

04:57:53.820 --> 04:57:56.820
One of them is going to hit site, get a breach open, three of them is charged on through.

04:57:56.820 --> 04:58:01.820
Make use of the scan to know who's in site and then from there it was a straight B breeze through to Cyber.

04:58:01.820 --> 04:58:03.820
It's often what we hear said about the Cyber is the X Factor.

04:58:03.820 --> 04:58:06.820
He's the one who kind of breaks away from the playstyle he put before due.

04:58:06.820 --> 04:58:09.820
He'll do his own things. Do your best little touches.

04:58:09.820 --> 04:58:14.820
Very relevant right now for DZ as you go towards human bedroom, but again, Cyber is just the X Factor.

04:58:14.820 --> 04:58:25.820
I'm interested to see how easy they're going to bounce back here. Obviously they are facing, you know, the map point.

04:58:25.820 --> 04:58:29.820
So we'll see if they can reset after this and keep on going strong.

04:58:32.820 --> 04:58:38.820
Last time around we saw them defending Jim and Federico. It was actually a really, really good defense from Darcy, and we spoke about it.

04:58:38.820 --> 04:58:43.120
We had Bulls and Neuers out on cash and red that held on to it beautifully.

04:58:43.120 --> 04:58:46.120
They are the two players tasked with holding that area again.

04:58:46.120 --> 04:58:49.320
This time Neuers has for the time being been left alone out there.

04:58:49.320 --> 04:58:51.320
Maybe something that Faze could exploit.

04:58:51.320 --> 04:58:53.320
But Naxero's decision making was great.

04:58:53.320 --> 04:58:54.820
Their timing was perfect.

04:58:54.820 --> 04:58:58.820
They kept that jacuzzi wall close so they limited their exposure to pressure.

04:58:58.820 --> 04:59:01.820
Are they able to repeat that process?

04:59:01.820 --> 04:59:06.820
There's a little bit more at stake this time because, as you say, if they lose this one,

04:59:06.820 --> 04:59:09.820
then it is much done to move on to back.

04:59:09.820 --> 04:59:13.420
Interestingly enough, there is no mute brought by Dartzera on this round,

04:59:13.420 --> 04:59:16.340
so that's achievable. Right now he's being opened by Cyber.

04:59:16.340 --> 04:59:20.220
The presser will definitely be felt by the players on-site.

04:59:20.220 --> 04:59:21.020
Take cover.

04:59:21.020 --> 04:59:23.460
Have to lease some extra questions and do away with, like you said,

04:59:23.460 --> 04:59:26.660
that some pressure that can just appear from any window or any doorway

04:59:26.660 --> 04:59:29.020
or any wall that has been opened up.

04:59:29.020 --> 04:59:30.420
It's not always that there is a player there,

04:59:30.420 --> 04:59:33.700
but the fact that there could be one does occupy a little bit of brain space

04:59:33.700 --> 04:59:35.620
and a little bit of your attention.

04:59:35.620 --> 04:59:40.020
ADS being so patient, just waiting here for his team to get things moving elsewhere.

04:59:40.020 --> 04:59:45.780
And then we're going to see FaZe pull off one of those classic hits at the same time where he hopes to hit them in the back, but he's got no idea what's coming.

04:59:45.780 --> 04:59:51.380
Yeah, there's no real pressure from FaZe on the cash side at the minute, apart from KDS holding that construction wall.

04:59:51.380 --> 04:59:54.020
They've decided this is all going to be jacuzzi-muff.

04:59:56.020 --> 05:00:02.820
All redside wins. There are just a lot of press from the jacuzzi side. I will say cyber has gone in.

05:00:02.820 --> 05:00:05.820
It's gone for a march, yeah, top of main here.

05:00:05.820 --> 05:00:08.820
Kino just off towards his side, ceases number, can't quite find him.

05:00:08.820 --> 05:00:12.820
G2A swing here, right-line here, that's nice and aggressive from Kino.

05:00:12.820 --> 05:00:14.820
Get rid of Simon, X backs the door, done about on the other side,

05:00:14.820 --> 05:00:17.820
but can they now bring down this very composed core phase?

05:00:17.820 --> 05:00:20.820
Yeah, unusually, for phase, they're actually stalling out a little bit here.

05:00:20.820 --> 05:00:23.820
They were really trying to push that jacuzzi wall,

05:00:23.820 --> 05:00:26.820
but they've come up against an immovable object in Dark Zero,

05:00:26.820 --> 05:00:30.820
who've given them absolutely nothing, so they're protecting the round,

05:00:30.820 --> 05:00:36.820
It comes back to bite them. I said that they hadn't applied any pressure, not taken any way.

05:00:36.820 --> 05:00:40.820
He passed and that is exactly where they are heard from.

05:00:40.820 --> 05:00:46.820
Fouls get in a job, John. Dark Zero goes forward and Solid City just woke up.

05:00:46.820 --> 05:00:50.820
Honestly, really, really well played there by Dark Zero using the Azamis.

05:00:50.820 --> 05:00:55.820
Block off single con, make sure that you know, knowing where the attackers are coming from,

05:00:55.820 --> 05:00:58.820
they're not rotating too much. You see, they kept the gyo on that server side.

05:00:58.820 --> 05:01:02.900
server side so if anyone comes on those windows they can kill him. Honestly really really well

05:01:02.900 --> 05:01:07.220
played there with especially the smoke coming out on the jacuzzi, cyber ran in and then he was

05:01:07.220 --> 05:01:11.780
left all alone so darksera honestly in a really pressured spot managed to pull it out.

05:01:13.140 --> 05:01:18.980
Well we are one round away team from what could be an absolute battle in overtime if we get there.

05:01:20.420 --> 05:01:24.100
It's not like city you may have heard the line a good few times historically if we get there we

05:01:24.100 --> 05:01:26.860
We want you to say it with us, Tim, do you mind us?

05:01:26.860 --> 05:01:28.380
Why is that line that we say when we get there?

05:01:28.380 --> 05:01:30.060
It's something about all the time, guys.

05:01:30.060 --> 05:01:32.340
Is it about us going there, right?

05:01:32.340 --> 05:01:33.380
I think it might be.

05:01:33.380 --> 05:01:34.660
You guys can all stream it with us

05:01:34.660 --> 05:01:36.340
when we get to that point.

05:01:36.340 --> 05:01:38.340
Dart zero with two rounds on the bounce

05:01:38.340 --> 05:01:39.900
to see things back over the run.

05:01:39.900 --> 05:01:42.020
We go down to the basement.

05:01:42.020 --> 05:01:43.300
Didn't manage to get anything done there

05:01:43.300 --> 05:01:44.340
back in the ninth round.

05:01:44.340 --> 05:01:47.060
Only managed to secure a single kill.

05:01:47.060 --> 05:01:49.500
So hopefully here, things come out a little bit better.

05:01:49.500 --> 05:01:50.940
And I think the worry for me, Tim,

05:01:50.940 --> 05:01:52.340
they're growing up around the map again.

05:01:52.340 --> 05:01:53.420
This is where base spotted.

05:01:53.420 --> 05:01:56.300
that gap last time and exploded into the site.

05:01:56.300 --> 05:01:57.900
Well, this is a dark zero, Mac.

05:01:57.900 --> 05:02:01.620
They've really got to make sure that they don't give that opportunity to face this time.

05:02:01.620 --> 05:02:03.260
They can't go away without space.

05:02:03.260 --> 05:02:07.580
If they still want to play the role, how do they go about avoiding that?

05:02:07.580 --> 05:02:10.620
Honestly, I think just counting numbers on different areas of the maps.

05:02:10.620 --> 05:02:14.100
This time, they're playing in kitchen with the hatch open with the Izami.

05:02:14.100 --> 05:02:17.300
So they can make sure that site is covered in that area.

05:02:17.300 --> 05:02:19.860
They're just going to be careful of the gaps because Saiba is actually,

05:02:19.860 --> 05:02:22.820
he's gone off the snake and now playing IQ.

05:02:22.820 --> 05:02:25.520
the IQ there's more time and respect as well didn't see it with the boundary

05:02:25.520 --> 05:02:28.020
early but I think here in going there's so many traps around the map a lot to

05:02:28.020 --> 05:02:31.100
impede them figuring out where the soulless is and what time they're trying

05:02:31.100 --> 05:02:34.580
to waste. I will be able to give a lot of information even though he's not playing

05:02:34.580 --> 05:02:37.340
on one of those bread and butter operators like the Snake or like the

05:02:37.340 --> 05:02:40.500
Daymars but they've got us stiffened towards Neuers tip and he's been there

05:02:40.500 --> 05:02:44.780
kill leader all game long to good have a free. You know that Cyber is gonna go to

05:02:44.780 --> 05:02:49.020
take this fight Neuers have just got himself out of trouble in time though he

05:02:49.020 --> 05:02:51.100
We can play him behind that keeper barricade.

05:02:51.100 --> 05:02:54.060
This next 20 seconds of this battle is falling.

05:02:54.060 --> 05:02:56.060
And Phyllis have dealt with it beautifully,

05:02:56.060 --> 05:02:57.180
forcing him away.

05:02:57.180 --> 05:02:59.180
But false, he backs his man up.

05:02:59.180 --> 05:03:01.020
We managed just to take Handi down,

05:03:01.020 --> 05:03:02.700
opening kill dark zero.

05:03:02.700 --> 05:03:05.660
And we could well be on the way to those extra rounds.

05:03:05.660 --> 05:03:07.900
It's five versus four.

05:03:07.900 --> 05:03:11.860
I don't think the Azami Neuers knows just how close he was

05:03:11.860 --> 05:03:12.460
to dying there.

05:03:12.460 --> 05:03:14.380
Obviously a great team play.

05:03:14.380 --> 05:03:16.580
Blackface, his souls now gets the pill onto false,

05:03:16.580 --> 05:03:17.780
and it's now on 24.

05:03:17.780 --> 05:03:19.700
Yeah, that's him on the Hibana, and it's one of them,

05:03:19.700 --> 05:03:21.140
took him back outside the map as well.

05:03:21.140 --> 05:03:22.140
This is the risk that you've got here.

05:03:22.140 --> 05:03:24.700
You've had the entry, and then still stayed out around the map,

05:03:24.700 --> 05:03:26.700
for the most part, and may well pay the price here,

05:03:26.700 --> 05:03:27.780
if not too careful.

05:03:27.780 --> 05:03:29.660
Jane I know, still appeared with Kino,

05:03:29.660 --> 05:03:30.980
but two of them playing together,

05:03:30.980 --> 05:03:32.500
and I think they want to try and find a way back down

05:03:32.500 --> 05:03:34.660
towards site here that is safe to go for.

05:03:34.660 --> 05:03:36.940
You've got to be careful, because KDS is lurking around,

05:03:36.940 --> 05:03:39.220
watching those storage stairs, so down through oil,

05:03:39.220 --> 05:03:40.580
might be the safe plan.

05:03:40.580 --> 05:03:42.420
I think even realising themselves that with the garage door

05:03:42.420 --> 05:03:44.460
shot out, it's not safe to go there either.

05:03:44.460 --> 05:03:49.220
I know still roaming on the top floor very interesting play obviously you know

05:03:49.220 --> 05:03:53.500
having that top floor control while the enemies are below you is really strong

05:03:53.500 --> 05:03:58.060
this back armory drone is you've got a default drone as Panjane

05:03:58.060 --> 05:04:02.540
spotted I think he's spotted. At least it was stiff on where they are though right

05:04:02.540 --> 05:04:05.220
this is the important part you said about counting their players off around

05:04:05.220 --> 05:04:09.500
around coming towards this last 60s four versus four they're looking taking a

05:04:09.500 --> 05:04:12.780
little bit of chip here he's got himself right up on this dirt door so getting a lot of

05:04:12.780 --> 05:04:15.440
information themselves and they're looking in for a drop most likely

05:04:15.440 --> 05:04:18.500
drop-editing the moment of the user he's the one looking to go for the plant

05:04:18.500 --> 05:04:21.980
newest though find the kill they need let a bit of intel picking you out those

05:04:21.980 --> 05:04:26.740
positions KDS manages to find Janna and continues battling but losing the black

05:04:26.740 --> 05:04:32.820
beard he's gonna be big for this attack NJR find Janna Kino another NJR the last

05:04:32.820 --> 05:04:36.820
And that's we're going to all the time.

05:04:37.820 --> 05:04:39.820
Well, well, well.

05:04:40.820 --> 05:04:48.820
It looked whatever 6-4 after two round wins in a row, the phase may have the answer to dark zero, but they battled their way back in.

05:04:48.820 --> 05:04:53.820
DZ remain on the defensive. Things carry on as they are, but all four sites are available to them.

05:04:53.820 --> 05:04:57.820
Let's see if they can get the edge here and jump up to 7-6, Mag.

05:04:57.820 --> 05:05:01.820
I'm very interested to see where DZ goes. It still looks like they're talking about it.

05:05:02.820 --> 05:05:09.820
I wonder if I'll run the mute this time because the thermite breeches were a problem and they

05:05:09.820 --> 05:05:11.820
are going to be running the mute.

05:05:11.820 --> 05:05:13.820
From a team position here, what's your thought?

05:05:13.820 --> 05:05:18.820
Do you prefer to continue on the same side into overtime or do you kind of want that

05:05:18.820 --> 05:05:22.820
switch, you know, go from the back, get onto the attack and just crashing it up a bit or

05:05:22.820 --> 05:05:27.820
if I'm the one doing the comeback, I for sure want to stay on that side but it is hard,

05:05:27.820 --> 05:05:31.820
you know, on the other end staying on the same side that you should have won on an

05:05:31.820 --> 05:05:41.820
So, if you know of the team coming up into overtime, staying on that, you know, same side is obviously really good, but, you know, Clothouse in general is a very defender-sad.

05:05:42.820 --> 05:05:52.820
Oh, we've had the perfect 3-3 splits, but the site we're going into here in round 13, Eastern Bedroom, as you say, and we've seen two defensive round wins from Dark Zero, a floor to see one of them as well.

05:05:53.820 --> 05:06:00.820
Then the other face only found a single kill, so Tim, I'm not at all surprised to see DZ returning to where they've had such success so far.

05:06:01.820 --> 05:06:05.220
Let's see if they can continue it, that's how I'm around.

05:06:05.220 --> 05:06:10.020
Faze were punished heavily for not taking control of cash and CCTV.

05:06:10.020 --> 05:06:12.220
We saw Faults getting two kills from there.

05:06:12.220 --> 05:06:14.420
At the end of things, Vitacind and KDS,

05:06:14.420 --> 05:06:18.220
one taking down on Balcony, one inside of cash, so Faze this time.

05:06:18.220 --> 05:06:20.420
I don't think they're going to make enough mistake again.

05:06:20.420 --> 05:06:22.420
Yes, they will go for the tracuzzi pressure,

05:06:22.420 --> 05:06:26.220
but they will surely apply a little bit more manpower

05:06:26.220 --> 05:06:28.620
onto this cash and CCTV hold.

05:06:28.620 --> 05:06:29.620
Take cover!

05:06:29.620 --> 05:06:39.620
I have been talking about, you know, the need stopping the thermite, but what a lot of people don't know is that you can just recalibrate above the mute with thermite, you can just try to do it.

05:06:39.620 --> 05:06:41.620
Almost like you demonstrate your point there, mate.

05:06:41.620 --> 05:06:42.620
Yep.

05:06:42.620 --> 05:06:48.620
In perfect time, that's been the single-comble opened up as well, so they can now get everything done that they need to.

05:06:48.620 --> 05:06:54.620
We saw the difference, of course, in the bands earlier on, but as you've actually gone real quick, when would you run a thermite, when would you run an ace on this map?

05:06:54.620 --> 05:06:56.620
Obviously both teams are taking different approaches.

05:06:56.620 --> 05:07:02.340
It depends if you have the mirror up, because the mirror you can impact trick, you know, like the Fermi charges and the Ace Charges

05:07:02.340 --> 05:07:07.800
and it is so easy to just throw aces on these extended gooches and then, you know, open up the side even more.

05:07:07.800 --> 05:07:14.560
It just depends on what sort of attacking playstyle you want to do, but, you know, clubhouse with these outside positions,

05:07:14.560 --> 05:07:18.060
throwing the ace onto the inside positions, it's just way too easy to open up the map.

05:07:19.060 --> 05:07:26.480
Again, FaZe not looking at that cash and CCTV side at the minute, they are all stacked up around the Strakuzi side.

05:07:26.480 --> 05:07:30.160
It is very, very one-sided. They were punished heavily last time.

05:07:30.160 --> 05:07:33.440
Cyber manages to find Kino, can first find a way.

05:07:33.440 --> 05:07:37.680
They're not using the Balkan at this time, which at least gives them a little bit more.

05:07:37.680 --> 05:07:41.760
Cyber walks in, and just what Cyber does best finds another kill.

05:07:41.760 --> 05:07:46.240
Neuers onto handy, four births to three, still an age left on the clock.

05:07:46.240 --> 05:07:50.240
DarkZero really under it now, and Cyber picks up Neuers.

05:07:50.240 --> 05:07:54.880
Since when do you ever see a furbide being the one to charge it and slaughter the entire enemy team?

05:07:54.880 --> 05:07:59.640
He's got three so far, looking for the fourth as well as they've got full knowledge on what's going on.

05:07:59.640 --> 05:08:01.720
He may even get heads-on, does himself this round, Tim.

05:08:01.720 --> 05:08:04.240
Plan going down at the same time. What's going about the other way?

05:08:04.240 --> 05:08:06.640
Solves a bit too good. KDS as well.

05:08:07.120 --> 05:08:10.880
Great round by FaZe and great opportunity spotting once again by Cyber.

05:08:11.400 --> 05:08:13.720
It just doesn't matter what Cyber is playing.

05:08:13.720 --> 05:08:18.560
He gets the crucial operator on the site and then he just sends it because that is where the gap is.

05:08:18.880 --> 05:08:21.640
Crucially as well, FaZe is following up on Cyber.

05:08:21.640 --> 05:08:24.480
It's actually the game-winning players there, so honestly.

05:08:24.880 --> 05:08:28.320
The power positions for the site players in Dark Sears have to be careful.

05:08:28.320 --> 05:08:30.000
They don't fall too early.

05:08:30.000 --> 05:08:33.400
I said that they'd had a fantastic couple of defensive rounds on gym beds.

05:08:33.400 --> 05:08:36.320
Remaining losing one player across the previous two times,

05:08:36.320 --> 05:08:38.760
but that one was absolute slaughter.

05:08:38.760 --> 05:08:40.160
Now they've got an uphill battle.

05:08:40.160 --> 05:08:43.120
Faye's going to take us down into the basement.

05:08:43.120 --> 05:08:45.960
They managed to win it both times back in that first half.

05:08:45.960 --> 05:08:47.520
It was close in both, mind you.

05:08:47.520 --> 05:08:50.160
It did require a big clutch from Soles in round one.

05:08:50.160 --> 05:08:54.560
It did. It came down to, I think it was 1v2 at the end, if I remember right.

05:08:54.560 --> 05:08:57.920
It seems a long time ago now, 13 rounds back.

05:08:57.920 --> 05:09:00.080
It's funny how these things have a way of coming around again, isn't it?

05:09:00.080 --> 05:09:01.560
It really is. So let's see.

05:09:02.400 --> 05:09:05.920
During that round one, if I remember right, they didn't actually play it out in the map.

05:09:05.920 --> 05:09:07.600
It's not been something to do massively.

05:09:07.600 --> 05:09:09.720
They had Cyber kind of a round kitchen corridor.

05:09:09.720 --> 05:09:11.600
That was it. That was their commitment.

05:09:11.720 --> 05:09:14.240
Everybody else was down inside a basement.

05:09:14.240 --> 05:09:17.160
I'm just loving a look at the positions that they're taking up now.

05:09:17.280 --> 05:09:19.600
And it is much sort of similar to that.

05:09:19.600 --> 05:09:23.800
I think it's saying that Cyber fit a king now heading up to that second floor.

05:09:23.800 --> 05:09:28.040
So maybe we see a little bit more commitment here from this to holding them up

05:09:28.520 --> 05:09:33.160
I do have the solos so they can denial of info to play up on the top of the map

05:09:33.160 --> 05:09:37.640
They have you know the Fenrir facade the guy of the site. I think this should be a full bus track

05:09:38.560 --> 05:09:41.400
Cyber going for a risky spawn peak on match point

05:09:43.240 --> 05:09:45.240
You take your lessons from a chomp

05:09:45.720 --> 05:09:47.240
Crucial rounds

05:09:47.240 --> 05:09:50.600
Window the best was a very very slight angle that you found granted

05:09:50.600 --> 05:09:56.300
isn't going to be rewarded for it. However, I'm very confident you will look to waste as much time as possible out here on the road.

05:09:56.300 --> 05:10:00.480
Even better yet, find yourself a couple of kills, 13 and 10 in the game,

05:10:00.480 --> 05:10:05.400
matched only by newers on the other side at 16 and 9. Certainly better to stand out players, Ted.

05:10:05.400 --> 05:10:09.400
Oh, absolutely. The problem with Fahez is you can just pick any of them.

05:10:09.400 --> 05:10:14.200
You can just pick anybody. You know, in any given game, you can pick any of them and they'll be a stand out player.

05:10:14.200 --> 05:10:17.500
And I think that's, you know, always the problem with going up against them.

05:10:17.500 --> 05:10:24.900
Let's see how Dark Zero are shaping up on this attack they have got Neewers just kind of wandering his way in underneath

05:10:24.900 --> 05:10:30.000
But Bitter King is waiting ready if Neewers peeks his face out here

05:10:30.000 --> 05:10:35.860
It could be a really bad start to the round but the King can't quite react quickly enough

05:10:36.220 --> 05:10:40.100
If they get to kill then it's a massive start for and there'd be five versus four though

05:10:40.100 --> 05:10:42.100
But more than one two minutes still to play

05:10:42.100 --> 05:10:57.100
Warrior Frost is going to be alongside, but give you again a chance to just passion them by this clip in the couple of kills that had him around, but instead, FaZe can hold on, do his own, finally making his appearance. Here he is, briefly comes out, gets one for himself, sidebuck removed, 5v4 with more than half a round to play back.

05:10:57.100 --> 05:11:03.860
Huge pick there by you know dark zero that he still had this ledger like they didn't doubt about for a new 17 and 9

05:11:04.620 --> 05:11:07.440
Just using the day most to you know put these

05:11:08.460 --> 05:11:13.460
As a C4 also doesn't get anyone really really looking good here for dark zero under final attack round

05:11:14.140 --> 05:11:16.140
Really all the way to 15 rounds

05:11:20.020 --> 05:11:23.100
Now being opened up and used new as looking for the long

05:11:23.100 --> 05:11:28.460
Nangles doesn't punish to find any damage, but Darkseer are doing some serious work on site.

05:11:28.460 --> 05:11:32.060
The problem that they've got, I was going to say the problem they've got is it's a little bit one sided,

05:11:32.060 --> 05:11:35.980
but it's not because J9 also wrote it, and around he's going to be in blue,

05:11:35.980 --> 05:11:39.180
and this is going to create some serious jeopardy for Faze now.

05:11:39.180 --> 05:11:41.740
They know they need to watch multiple angles, mate.

05:11:41.740 --> 05:11:44.780
All the vertical here, this is the classic siege timing moment.

05:11:44.780 --> 05:11:49.420
If he looks down, it's a freebie, but no, he makes the shots and lets the Valkyrie away.

05:11:49.420 --> 05:11:53.420
Third time this round, Barks are ripping the matter of pixels away from a kill.

05:11:53.420 --> 05:11:56.920
Will that come back to bite them in these dying 40 seconds?

05:11:56.920 --> 05:11:59.920
It is a 4v5, so defenders need to get a pick somewhere.

05:11:59.920 --> 05:12:02.420
There are just way too many avenues for the attackers here.

05:12:02.420 --> 05:12:04.420
And the last round of China drops down.

05:12:06.920 --> 05:12:08.420
Just going to be pushing in with the shield.

05:12:08.420 --> 05:12:09.920
Takes the ground, Jadaddo.

05:12:09.920 --> 05:12:12.920
Onto KDIs, here comes the final 20 seconds.

05:12:12.920 --> 05:12:14.420
But back down in Church and Arsenal.

05:12:14.420 --> 05:12:16.920
And it's dark zero, third way on top.

05:12:16.920 --> 05:12:20.800
3 versus 1 as Bitter King manages to fight back with Shure.

05:12:20.800 --> 05:12:23.760
Short lift is his pass by Vakino.

05:12:23.760 --> 05:12:28.160
We are going all the way to 15, guys!

05:12:28.160 --> 05:12:30.280
And he in chambers, saying he wanted to hear that round.

05:12:30.280 --> 05:12:33.440
And Matt Longtip and it has delivered.

05:12:33.440 --> 05:12:35.440
Can't drive a wedge between these two teams.

05:12:35.440 --> 05:12:37.560
It has been dangerously close.

05:12:37.560 --> 05:12:38.840
The dark zero.

05:12:38.840 --> 05:12:41.160
Go on to the defence.

05:12:41.160 --> 05:12:44.480
Both teams find the success on their attacks in OT.

05:12:44.480 --> 05:12:45.920
It's been very much spit throughout this map,

05:12:45.920 --> 05:12:47.920
because we said it's been that 3-3 half.

05:12:47.920 --> 05:12:50.520
So right now, it is an attack-aliening club that we're seeing.

05:12:50.520 --> 05:12:52.320
You would start to lean towards FaZe,

05:12:52.320 --> 05:12:54.160
but DZ have the full choice of sites

05:12:54.160 --> 05:12:57.320
that are going to take us downstairs into the basement.

05:12:57.320 --> 05:13:01.480
It looks like this time DarkZero going for a site hold.

05:13:01.480 --> 05:13:03.920
They might put some U-Gems upstairs to waste time,

05:13:03.920 --> 05:13:07.480
especially if Saab is going to play the Deimos or the Snake.

05:13:07.480 --> 05:13:09.800
And honestly, in a 7-7 on Clubhouse,

05:13:09.800 --> 05:13:14.200
Church and Arsenal is probably the most favorite site you can go.

05:13:14.200 --> 05:13:16.200
Heartbreak this.

05:13:16.200 --> 05:13:17.200
So close.

05:13:17.200 --> 05:13:19.200
First opportunity missed, of course, for a matter of pixels.

05:13:19.200 --> 05:13:20.200
Oh, I love that.

05:13:20.200 --> 05:13:22.200
I'm fine. It's just, ugh.

05:13:22.200 --> 05:13:24.200
Hope's can do it all, Tim.

05:13:24.200 --> 05:13:26.200
Just a beauty of a beating. You can't do that.

05:13:26.200 --> 05:13:28.200
Just such a beautiful heart drop, wasn't it?

05:13:28.200 --> 05:13:31.200
Just sprinting across, down he goes, finds the kill,

05:13:31.200 --> 05:13:33.200
knew exactly where the man was.

05:13:33.200 --> 05:13:35.200
There was some serious intel from Dark Zero there.

05:13:35.200 --> 05:13:37.200
They were so prepped going down into that basement.

05:13:37.200 --> 05:13:40.200
That's what we saw, base, just kind of tumbling one after another.

05:13:40.200 --> 05:13:43.200
Just as a reminder to everybody, this is Dark Zero.

05:13:43.200 --> 05:13:46.720
is Dark Zero's map pick, the next one will be Paz's map.

05:13:46.720 --> 05:13:48.600
How much does that impact you as a team

05:13:48.600 --> 05:13:50.240
if you come in and lose your map pick?

05:13:50.240 --> 05:13:51.760
We often talk about it, and it's kind of

05:13:51.760 --> 05:13:53.720
because they've lost their map, but really,

05:13:53.720 --> 05:13:56.480
are you kind of really just prepared to play all of them?

05:13:56.480 --> 05:13:59.080
We are definitely ready to prepare all of them.

05:13:59.080 --> 05:14:01.240
Obviously, you know, teams like Twisted Minds

05:14:01.240 --> 05:14:03.520
will take 12 hours to sort of don't want to be losing

05:14:03.520 --> 05:14:06.360
your first map going into that, but as a pro team,

05:14:06.360 --> 05:14:08.520
you know, you should be confident on the maps

05:14:08.520 --> 05:14:10.360
that they're going to pick as well.

05:14:10.360 --> 05:14:15.040
still to make it any easy. If the good news, a guess for DC going on to thank

05:14:15.040 --> 05:14:18.280
regards to the outcome here Tim, is that it is their favorite map.

05:14:18.280 --> 05:14:21.240
Pais is so confident on playing nearly every map in the pool. They say you know

05:14:21.240 --> 05:14:24.120
what, we'll play you anywhere, we'll go to bank, we feel comfortable there, we don't

05:14:24.120 --> 05:14:28.320
care that it's your most preferred map. But now though, let's see how these next

05:14:28.320 --> 05:14:31.480
two minutes and 20 seconds play out because that will determine who is just

05:14:31.480 --> 05:14:36.200
one map away for a match against Shopify in the grand final. The entry though is

05:14:36.200 --> 05:14:39.960
going to Solz, MJR, falling down on that goalie.

05:14:39.960 --> 05:14:41.800
Very, very tough loss there.

05:14:41.800 --> 05:14:44.520
MJR going down early on a baseman defense

05:14:44.520 --> 05:14:46.200
is going to hurt Dupzarello.

05:14:46.200 --> 05:14:47.720
They're going to have to get aggressive.

05:14:47.720 --> 05:14:49.560
They're going to have to pick up the bird.

05:14:49.560 --> 05:14:51.800
They need to get a pick back, or it's not going to go well

05:14:51.800 --> 05:14:55.320
in the last 30 seconds of the game.

05:14:55.320 --> 05:14:56.520
Oh, a victory.

05:14:56.520 --> 05:14:57.320
Just see the reaper.

05:14:57.320 --> 05:14:59.120
Absolutely beautiful stuff there as well.

05:14:59.120 --> 05:15:01.080
Teamwork, that shield doing the work.

05:15:01.080 --> 05:15:03.840
Wittigang opening up the wall, giving the opportunity.

05:15:03.840 --> 05:15:05.680
Five versus four.

05:15:05.680 --> 05:15:09.600
And it is now Dark Zero completely turtled up inside a site.

05:15:09.600 --> 05:15:12.640
They are going to have no opportunity to get back upstairs.

05:15:12.640 --> 05:15:14.800
They're going to have no opportunity other than as you say,

05:15:14.800 --> 05:15:16.640
like to fight those verticals.

05:15:16.640 --> 05:15:20.400
They need to try and take at least one kill before a base come

05:15:20.400 --> 05:15:23.200
to the point of dropping hatches and aggressing into site.

05:15:23.200 --> 05:15:25.360
The problem they've got with a man over now,

05:15:25.360 --> 05:15:27.680
FaZe can push multiple sides.

05:15:27.680 --> 05:15:29.120
They can work from motor.

05:15:29.120 --> 05:15:30.720
They can work from bottom stairs.

05:15:30.720 --> 05:15:32.720
They've got KDS over on blue.

05:15:32.720 --> 05:15:35.440
This is a big problem for the North Americans.

05:15:35.680 --> 05:15:38.560
Still trying to down throw the C4 underneath at the same time.

05:15:38.560 --> 05:15:42.640
I think Paul's going to lose the way slightly here, trying to afford to sit debased anymore.

05:15:42.640 --> 05:15:44.480
Else his life is forfeit.

05:15:44.480 --> 05:15:47.280
Remember I'm saying you want to open this hatch, you can open it up with confidence

05:15:47.280 --> 05:15:50.080
because you can still hold up with a lot of utility in that pocket.

05:15:50.080 --> 05:15:55.120
Interestingly enough though, FaZe, they might have thought that DarkZero were roaming a lot more

05:15:55.120 --> 05:15:58.560
because we only see two Harbridge gadgets on the Attacker side of FaZe.

05:15:58.560 --> 05:16:00.880
C4, where's that to get Solz?

05:16:00.880 --> 05:16:02.080
Need to get Solz as well.

05:16:02.080 --> 05:16:04.160
And all the work already admittedly getting that floor opened up.

05:16:04.160 --> 05:16:05.600
We've got the entry early, Rob.

05:16:05.600 --> 05:16:08.320
One big play on their side, off line 40-40.

05:16:08.320 --> 05:16:09.760
If he gets to walk the last 40.

05:16:09.760 --> 05:16:11.520
It's high to Yul for Dark Zero.

05:16:11.520 --> 05:16:12.800
We've said it multiple times.

05:16:12.800 --> 05:16:14.880
They had to find kills on the vertical.

05:16:14.880 --> 05:16:16.080
They do exactly that.

05:16:16.080 --> 05:16:20.720
But Fizz will continue moving forward, just grinding them down.

05:16:20.720 --> 05:16:23.280
Neuers, he's going to pick up one on the side rivers.

05:16:23.280 --> 05:16:25.600
A little bit of fire that does the job for him.

05:16:25.600 --> 05:16:26.720
Three versus three.

05:16:26.720 --> 05:16:27.680
Anybody's right.

05:16:27.680 --> 05:16:30.160
Now, Handi manages to pick up J9-0.

05:16:30.160 --> 05:16:31.280
20 seconds left to go.

05:16:31.280 --> 05:16:37.680
Bitter King is inside, does have diffuser in hand, there's an option for him to put it down as Fultz will be taken out

05:16:37.680 --> 05:16:45.480
Handy with a double to close down the round and the map and that's going to be Fettys 1-0 after they take the win on Corvouse

05:16:46.200 --> 05:16:48.360
Fettys you know they're in the deficit

05:16:48.360 --> 05:16:53.040
They're in the disadvantage there and they still managed to get the round when it's honestly really impressive to see

05:16:53.240 --> 05:16:57.560
What's beautiful is though is taking 15 rounds to determine who wins that first map

05:16:57.560 --> 05:17:04.160
I know it's made his map pick going into our second, but something tells me this series still has a lot more to offer

05:17:04.160 --> 05:17:08.900
Oh, you know that it does start here or a team absolutely capable of fighting fight

05:17:08.900 --> 05:17:15.200
They will go they'll have a chat and like Mike said these teams they are prepared to play anywhere

05:17:15.200 --> 05:17:21.400
They're gonna come back confident for buying time sure and we will as well soon back with you in just a few minutes

05:24:27.560 --> 05:24:29.400
after my game, but that was about it.

05:24:29.400 --> 05:24:31.720
Cyber, big map win to start the series.

05:24:31.720 --> 05:24:35.560
Is there any added pressure defending a world championship?

05:24:48.760 --> 05:24:51.560
You expect the same to happen on map two with the win?

05:24:51.560 --> 05:24:55.320
Us, you expect the same, setting is better than smithing.

05:24:56.320 --> 05:24:57.520
Yeah, that's it.

05:24:57.600 --> 05:24:59.200
Thanks, Amber. Thank you so much.

05:25:00.760 --> 05:25:02.960
Just a quick translation, and this isn't from me.

05:25:03.040 --> 05:25:04.640
I wish I spoke Brazilian Portuguese,

05:25:04.720 --> 05:25:06.480
but the translator, Poxodra and Todas,

05:25:06.560 --> 05:25:10.000
the cyber said, no, we don't feel any added pressure at all.

05:25:10.080 --> 05:25:12.320
We know that we're the best and we're going to beat them.

05:25:12.400 --> 05:25:13.840
And that's what you'd expect him to say.

05:25:13.920 --> 05:25:15.440
These guys are at the top of the top.

05:25:15.520 --> 05:25:16.520
I mean, they're really confident.

05:25:16.600 --> 05:25:18.760
It really showed in those last overtime rounds

05:25:18.840 --> 05:25:21.120
from FaZe on why they were able to just edge it out.

05:25:21.120 --> 05:25:22.840
because it really was a beautiful back and forth,

05:25:22.840 --> 05:25:25.840
but those overtime to win both attacks on it,

05:25:25.840 --> 05:25:28.040
it really felt like it was perfect all the way

05:25:28.040 --> 05:25:29.840
until it was a three versus three

05:25:29.840 --> 05:25:32.240
and then immediately DZ gets a little over aggressive

05:25:32.240 --> 05:25:34.000
and boom, now it's a 3v1 in sight.

05:25:34.000 --> 05:25:35.800
Listen, we talked about the no added pressure

05:25:35.800 --> 05:25:36.880
coming outside of Cyber.

05:25:36.880 --> 05:25:39.000
We're gonna highlight Cyber here in round 13.

05:25:39.000 --> 05:25:40.360
I mean, this goes to showcase

05:25:40.360 --> 05:25:42.640
that there is no pressure on his shoulders.

05:25:42.640 --> 05:25:44.000
Not only is he bringing in a thermite,

05:25:44.000 --> 05:25:44.840
opening up the wall,

05:25:44.840 --> 05:25:47.080
but he's also the one entering on thermite.

05:25:47.080 --> 05:25:49.040
He turns this into a triple kill and again,

05:25:49.040 --> 05:25:51.720
That really speaks into the pressure aspect of it.

05:25:51.720 --> 05:25:53.120
You are in overtime.

05:25:53.120 --> 05:25:54.800
Every round counts at this point.

05:25:54.800 --> 05:25:56.400
You need it to go into your favor.

05:25:56.400 --> 05:25:59.040
And of course, Cyber is the one that's leading the charge.

05:25:59.040 --> 05:26:01.480
Ian, it was the one that we were talking about early on to this.

05:26:01.480 --> 05:26:03.320
This is the player that you're going to have to watch.

05:26:03.320 --> 05:26:07.440
And in this series alone, 13 and 12, four on the entry, 60

05:26:07.440 --> 05:26:07.960
in costs.

05:26:07.960 --> 05:26:10.840
I mean, again, he is making a statement.

05:26:10.840 --> 05:26:12.000
He's yet again.

05:26:12.000 --> 05:26:14.960
And since Faze's first Invitational win,

05:26:14.960 --> 05:26:17.600
they have been trying to put Cyber in different positions.

05:26:17.600 --> 05:26:19.920
Well, sometimes he's on the entry, sometimes he's on the flex,

05:26:19.920 --> 05:26:21.000
sometimes he's on the support.

05:26:21.000 --> 05:26:23.720
And it gets a team like DarkZero that's very good at picking off,

05:26:23.720 --> 05:26:25.360
isolating that rumor player.

05:26:25.360 --> 05:26:26.840
I mean, we're seeing him on supportive roles,

05:26:26.840 --> 05:26:29.200
because once you use that utility, you set up the site,

05:26:29.200 --> 05:26:31.920
and you can go out and frag, and that's exactly what they did.

05:26:31.920 --> 05:26:35.240
Because even in those situations, DZ was set up for it.

05:26:35.240 --> 05:26:36.800
But at the end of the day, it's Cyber,

05:26:36.800 --> 05:26:38.720
and he was just shooting correctly.

05:26:38.720 --> 05:26:41.600
And at the end of the day, this game was a little bit about inches.

05:26:41.600 --> 05:26:42.520
Every inch matters.

05:26:42.520 --> 05:26:43.680
I know you know about that.

05:26:43.680 --> 05:26:46.800
And that was the biggest outcome why FaZe was able to...

05:26:46.800 --> 05:26:47.760
How do I know about that?

05:26:47.760 --> 05:26:48.600
What are you trying to say?

05:26:48.600 --> 05:26:49.280
What do you mean?

05:26:49.280 --> 05:26:50.640
Let's move on.

05:26:50.640 --> 05:26:53.080
Listen, we've spoken a lot to the American fans

05:26:53.080 --> 05:26:57.000
in the building here, but it's time to speak to a FaZe fan.

05:26:57.000 --> 05:27:01.400
Jonah is standing by with a fan of the best in the world.

05:27:01.400 --> 05:27:03.520
Back in the crowd here with yet another fan.

05:27:03.520 --> 05:27:05.760
But this time, a FaZe fan.

05:27:05.760 --> 05:27:08.320
I tried to find the drippiest FaZe fan I could,

05:27:08.320 --> 05:27:09.680
and I think we've done it, Areeb.

05:27:09.680 --> 05:27:10.520
Great to meet you.

05:27:10.520 --> 05:27:12.360
You got the FaZe gear going on.

05:27:12.360 --> 05:27:14.720
And your team has now taken map one.

05:27:14.720 --> 05:27:18.560
I gotta ask, how does it feel being in a sea of dark zero fans,

05:27:18.560 --> 05:27:20.460
being one of the few face fans out here?

05:27:20.460 --> 05:27:21.860
Well, you just have to make sure you're louder

05:27:21.860 --> 05:27:24.060
than those around you.

05:27:24.060 --> 05:27:25.260
How long have you been a face fan?

05:27:25.260 --> 05:27:27.540
You're all your life?

05:27:27.540 --> 05:27:30.540
Since I've been following the pro scene since 2023 Atlanta,

05:27:30.540 --> 05:27:33.340
so before the Brazil Grand Final.

05:27:33.340 --> 05:27:35.740
So technically not a bandwagon.

05:27:35.740 --> 05:27:38.420
It sounds like you're from somewhere around here.

05:27:38.420 --> 05:27:39.540
Are you from the US?

05:27:39.540 --> 05:27:42.320
Yes, I came out from Michigan.

05:27:42.320 --> 05:27:44.620
Any feeling of betrayal?

05:27:44.620 --> 05:27:46.920
I mean, you got the dark zero and a team up there.

05:27:46.920 --> 05:27:48.420
Do you got the Brazil team across?

05:27:49.660 --> 05:27:52.520
Well, I'd say my favorite and a team is wild card.

05:27:53.220 --> 05:27:54.900
So not not really betrayal.

05:27:54.900 --> 05:27:56.920
Not not at least not my eyes.

05:27:57.060 --> 05:27:57.600
Amazing.

05:27:57.600 --> 05:28:00.000
Do you do you expect the same thing from the World Champs?

05:28:00.000 --> 05:28:01.600
I'm a mess with the map to victory.

05:28:02.600 --> 05:28:04.600
I'd say it is expected on bank.

05:28:04.860 --> 05:28:05.900
Yeah, definitely.

05:28:05.900 --> 05:28:08.640
And if they do win the whole event,

05:28:08.880 --> 05:28:12.540
your fingers crossed, I'd say maybe objectively speaking,

05:28:12.540 --> 05:28:14.240
the greatest team of all time.

05:28:14.240 --> 05:28:17.920
maybe surpassing the Penta G2 era, at least to me.

05:28:17.920 --> 05:28:19.920
All right, bold claims here with the Reb.

05:28:19.920 --> 05:28:21.520
Back to you guys.

05:28:21.520 --> 05:28:23.600
I had some woes in the crowd there,

05:28:23.600 --> 05:28:25.200
but it is always great to see

05:28:25.200 --> 05:28:28.400
fans in the building, but will it be phased up in map two?

05:28:28.400 --> 05:28:30.480
They're going to bank, you know what,

05:28:30.480 --> 05:28:31.600
that's beyond his darks there,

05:28:31.600 --> 05:28:33.200
or backs against the wall he lacks.

05:28:33.200 --> 05:28:35.120
I mean, again, if there's any team

05:28:35.120 --> 05:28:36.880
that I think that can get it done from NA,

05:28:36.880 --> 05:28:38.880
I do feel DZ has the mental capacity,

05:28:38.880 --> 05:28:40.640
the mental portancy, especially with their coach.

05:28:40.640 --> 05:28:42.480
I mean, he has shaped this entire rough.

05:28:42.480 --> 05:28:46.240
He's shaped a lot of the region as a whole in terms of just that sort of synergy.

05:28:46.240 --> 05:28:47.400
So I do think they can get it done.

05:28:47.400 --> 05:28:51.600
But again, what I am worried about is how much energy they put into that series.

05:28:51.880 --> 05:28:53.200
Are they going to have enough in the tank?

05:28:53.200 --> 05:28:55.520
At the end of the day, the rest of the series is an uphill battle.

05:28:55.520 --> 05:28:58.000
Shoutley on map three is FaZe's best map.

05:28:58.000 --> 05:28:59.960
Thank arguably their second best map.

05:28:59.960 --> 05:29:03.000
So it's going to be a matter of just getting those picks,

05:29:03.000 --> 05:29:06.320
trying to figure out where they can find the kill on if it's not going to be cyber.

05:29:06.560 --> 05:29:09.040
All right. Well, FaZe fans are hoping to get this done.

05:29:09.040 --> 05:29:13.880
into those here in the building are looking to go to map three.

05:29:13.880 --> 05:29:15.840
Let's see if they can make it happen.

05:29:15.840 --> 05:29:20.680
We've got Des, Es, and Mike, reloaded for map two.

05:29:20.680 --> 05:29:22.000
Thank you very much, Mr. Chambers.

05:29:22.000 --> 05:29:24.680
Indeed, first map was ridiculously close,

05:29:24.680 --> 05:29:26.240
taking all 15 rounds.

05:29:26.240 --> 05:29:29.360
Bank, I get the feeling Tim might be a little bit more decisive.

05:29:29.360 --> 05:29:31.280
But I've got our limb here, and I'm not saying this

05:29:31.280 --> 05:29:32.680
because we're in the arena.

05:29:32.680 --> 05:29:35.360
I think, Darts, you're looking to take this in regulation.

05:29:35.360 --> 05:29:38.440
But Bank isn't a bad map for Darts, you know why?

05:29:38.440 --> 05:29:52.440
I think it's their first preference map. They're three and one on it recently. They have no slouches here. I think, you know, when we look from map one to map two from Hubhouse to Bank, Mike, what is it that DarkZero maybe are going to need to do differently?

05:29:52.440 --> 05:29:58.440
What have you seen in that first map that you think maybe a little more of this or a little less of that is going to be the difference maker?

05:29:58.440 --> 05:30:04.940
I think DarkZero really just need to, you know, peak them at the entries and make sure that FaZe just can't set up for their executes.

05:30:04.940 --> 05:30:09.440
And if they don't manage to do that, then they need to fall back and play the win conditions on site.

05:30:09.440 --> 05:30:12.940
Easy-peasy. If only. If without easy.

05:30:12.940 --> 05:30:15.440
It's FaZe. We've seen them turn to try.

05:30:15.440 --> 05:30:16.940
Stop them getting in the building, Dez!

05:30:16.940 --> 05:30:20.940
But it just feels like it's sometimes like. We've seen teams, you know, trying to break down a brick wall.

05:30:20.940 --> 05:30:23.940
It feels like they're coming up against a turtle team and they can't quite crack them open.

05:30:23.940 --> 05:30:26.440
They play against them when they're on the Roman. They can't beat them on the Roman.

05:30:26.440 --> 05:30:29.240
Your options start to feel very limited and it's still a G-man.

05:30:29.240 --> 05:30:32.720
But let me think, it feels like you've tried everything to overcome what you're coming up against

05:30:32.720 --> 05:30:34.640
and you still can't quite find the answer.

05:30:35.040 --> 05:30:36.440
What do you then do as a team?

05:30:37.120 --> 05:30:38.760
Honestly, that is the toughest question.

05:30:38.760 --> 05:30:43.240
It was a bit like that against the Twisted Mines, but you just always have to take the round by round.

05:30:43.240 --> 05:30:45.520
You know, there is no such thing as momentum.

05:30:45.520 --> 05:30:48.960
You reset after every round, you just take it, you know, one round at a time

05:30:48.960 --> 05:30:51.800
and just, you know, try to find the win condition in the round.

05:30:52.440 --> 05:30:53.880
Well, let's see if they can.

05:30:53.880 --> 05:30:56.640
We're going to start things out down in the basement, Tim.

05:30:56.640 --> 05:30:58.640
An exact zero on the defence.

05:30:58.640 --> 05:31:01.440
Bank of the Varnabasen does lean towards being attack-asided,

05:31:01.440 --> 05:31:03.280
so I can't imagine a phase two bothered.

05:31:03.280 --> 05:31:05.080
Regardless of which side they start on.

05:31:05.080 --> 05:31:08.480
Immediately. NJR is standing out to me here.

05:31:08.480 --> 05:31:09.600
It's a basement defence.

05:31:09.600 --> 05:31:14.160
We've got him upstairs in Janitor, starting off on the Valkyrie.

05:31:14.160 --> 05:31:17.560
You know that, I think, he's trying to play into exactly what he said there, Mike,

05:31:17.560 --> 05:31:19.760
and that is, take the fight to phase.

05:31:19.760 --> 05:31:21.400
Don't give them anything for free.

05:31:21.400 --> 05:31:27.080
They did nothing, but they've given something for it, and NJR's job is going to be slowed

05:31:27.080 --> 05:31:30.680
down as much as possible, so that's something to watch in the early round.

05:31:30.680 --> 05:31:34.840
Interestingly enough, as well, Foltz is sitting probably on a new gem at E3.

05:31:34.840 --> 05:31:39.080
They'll probably just, you know, see the Valkyrie getting Dayloss scanned right now and just

05:31:39.080 --> 05:31:43.480
assume he is the only one up here. So really interested to see just how much, you know,

05:31:43.480 --> 05:31:46.120
Foltz can do in this round, if he's not drawn out.

05:31:46.760 --> 05:31:48.840
If he's not being the big part, that one for sure.

05:31:48.840 --> 05:31:53.080
I hope they get a sniff on to him at some point, but it does have to support from below at the same time.

05:31:53.080 --> 05:31:58.360
All three players, of course, the good few stairways that you can work your way up on this mapling support can arrive quite quickly.

05:31:58.360 --> 05:32:02.200
Cyber has got himself into the top floor, he's supporting souls as well.

05:32:02.200 --> 05:32:06.040
NJR has dropped away, so this is where we can get that answer.

05:32:06.040 --> 05:32:09.800
KDA! He knew exactly where NJR has lost!

05:32:09.800 --> 05:32:14.360
Takes him down through the softball, but just like you said, Mag, Fultz comes out big!

05:32:14.360 --> 05:32:17.400
There's no idea! Can he do any more to that?

05:32:17.400 --> 05:32:20.440
No, Handi! Manage us to hit the deck!

05:32:20.440 --> 05:32:22.920
Faze, always find a way!

05:32:23.760 --> 05:32:27.760
Three-shot gun blasts, and Handi still comes away with the kill.

05:32:27.760 --> 05:32:28.880
That is ridiculous!

05:32:28.880 --> 05:32:30.920
It would've been magic if Fultz got away with it,

05:32:30.920 --> 05:32:32.760
but Handi was never letting that one slide.

05:32:33.440 --> 05:32:36.600
J-90 goes down to it, now 2v4.

05:32:36.600 --> 05:32:38.880
I'm not sure what Kaino and Ender are can do,

05:32:38.880 --> 05:32:42.200
but hopefully they can pull out some magic in the first round of back.

05:32:42.720 --> 05:32:44.480
It's got a C4 and three smokes to play with.

05:32:44.480 --> 05:32:47.080
It's more the time that I'm concerned about Faze.

05:32:47.080 --> 05:32:54.480
75 seconds to play behind, track coming out here onto NJR who's already in waiting with that C4.

05:32:54.480 --> 05:32:59.880
So he's of course the demoss in response to now is all happy, so he's cancelling away that channel.

05:32:59.880 --> 05:33:03.680
It's got to play the slow and phase, aren't the kind of team that will bottle a man advantage like this Tim.

05:33:03.680 --> 05:33:12.080
Now Fizz have got all the time in the world here, they can now set themselves up, they can open those hatches, they can pressure, they can look for the gap.

05:33:12.080 --> 05:33:17.660
And this might be the power for Pardazio as Kainos is croning behind the table.

05:33:17.660 --> 05:33:20.660
Will Kadeus check this properly? I don't think so.

05:33:20.660 --> 05:33:23.820
I'll see his leg, and now they know. That's such a shame.

05:33:23.820 --> 05:33:26.720
All three smokers gonna go down with him here, but it was a nice attempt.

05:33:26.720 --> 05:33:28.220
He had to try something.

05:33:28.220 --> 05:33:31.120
But it's sadly not gonna work out. NJR with it all to do.

05:33:31.120 --> 05:33:35.220
This diffuser is going down there, and FaZe surely gonna close this one out.

05:33:35.220 --> 05:33:38.660
Yeah, I don't see anywhere that NJR fasts back into this.

05:33:38.660 --> 05:33:45.460
manages to get one to KDS, make it two top rated player at the event coming into today

05:33:45.460 --> 05:33:50.260
and he gets himself a big double 1v4 becomes a 1v2 but a big problem with that lion mic.

05:33:50.260 --> 05:33:56.020
He's just one HP so it could be a 1v1 if he gets a C4 but he doesn't as he decides to go up the

05:33:56.020 --> 05:34:01.860
stairs it is impossible to win on the retake if you cannot take off stairs control. I think

05:34:01.860 --> 05:34:06.660
Thofaze will play it smart, they'll play nice indeed and they won't give any picks here to NJR.

05:34:06.660 --> 05:34:09.060
Nine of a time available for him here either, unfortunately,

05:34:09.060 --> 05:34:12.060
Handy just playing that round brilliantly, surviving the duel with the shotgun

05:34:12.060 --> 05:34:14.580
and then comes out at the end and gets the job done.

05:34:14.580 --> 05:34:16.300
Bates with round one.

05:34:16.300 --> 05:34:19.340
Honestly, I think, you know, DZ bringing a great defence,

05:34:19.340 --> 05:34:21.100
some sneaky plays with the mute,

05:34:21.100 --> 05:34:24.660
and unfortunately, just not hitting the shots where they needed to be.

05:34:24.660 --> 05:34:28.180
The smoke in-server, the shotgun, you know, the three shotgun shots,

05:34:28.180 --> 05:34:30.380
that didn't hit. They're playing some good seeds,

05:34:30.380 --> 05:34:33.460
they're playing some good strategy, they've come in with a game plan,

05:34:33.460 --> 05:34:34.980
they just need to hit the shots.

05:34:34.980 --> 05:34:43.980
It's kind of like against Faze, you can have all the right ideas, but if you don't execute a 100% perfection, you're still gonna get punished.

05:34:43.980 --> 05:34:49.980
DZ will probably feel okay with that round because, you know, it was on Vent that they did lose the round.

05:34:49.980 --> 05:34:53.980
Their strategy is working, they've seen it go reset and keep pushing on from here.

05:34:53.980 --> 05:35:00.980
This is what Culliard, I guess, said before, we came on to show him. He caught him backstage on a chat and he said, again, you have to play perfect against Faze.

05:35:00.980 --> 05:35:02.540
Their strats, you know, are watertight.

05:35:02.540 --> 05:35:03.620
You've got to match them at that level

05:35:03.620 --> 05:35:05.020
and have brilliant strats too.

05:35:05.020 --> 05:35:07.140
You can't surprise them, you can't speed things up on them

05:35:07.140 --> 05:35:09.260
and then you've got to be better in the gunfights as well.

05:35:09.260 --> 05:35:11.500
Against five of the best gunners in the world.

05:35:11.500 --> 05:35:12.660
You can understand why they're back

05:35:12.660 --> 05:35:13.860
to battle all champions, Tim.

05:35:13.860 --> 05:35:16.140
A lot of that damage, Mark, in the first round

05:35:16.140 --> 05:35:17.780
was done out on that roam game.

05:35:17.780 --> 05:35:19.940
Not quite paying off for Dark Zero.

05:35:19.940 --> 05:35:21.660
Do you think the switch up to the top floor site

05:35:21.660 --> 05:35:22.700
is going to help them a bit here

05:35:22.700 --> 05:35:24.980
because it kind of removes that need

05:35:24.980 --> 05:35:26.740
to roam and control the whole map?

05:35:26.740 --> 05:35:29.460
It'll definitely help that Dark Zero here.

05:35:29.460 --> 05:35:30.660
They just need to make sure

05:35:30.660 --> 05:35:32.660
They don't get picked on their appels.

05:35:32.660 --> 05:35:34.660
It seems they have a good game plan here.

05:35:34.660 --> 05:35:36.660
You have a soulless pillow to deny the plan.

05:35:36.660 --> 05:35:38.660
The bandit just off the hard reach

05:35:38.660 --> 05:35:42.660
and unfortunately newest goes down first.

05:35:42.660 --> 05:35:43.660
There's a bit of a timing thing.

05:35:43.660 --> 05:35:44.660
Obviously seen on the drone, new as was,

05:35:44.660 --> 05:35:46.660
but Sol's in the right place at the right time.

05:35:46.660 --> 05:35:47.660
Punishers in.

05:35:47.660 --> 05:35:49.660
This is what we saw a little bit back on the club was

05:35:49.660 --> 05:35:52.660
they're happy to play patient in the first 90 seconds or so of the round

05:35:52.660 --> 05:35:54.660
and punish players on Dark Zero that are being too mobile.

05:35:54.660 --> 05:35:56.660
There's no exactly where the soulless is

05:35:56.660 --> 05:35:57.660
and it's going to be a matter of time.

05:35:57.660 --> 05:35:59.660
They're just going to go in and spray him down.

05:35:59.660 --> 05:36:04.220
got it completely trapped. There we go. Easiest kill that Cyber's gonna get all day. And it

05:36:04.220 --> 05:36:08.860
feels a little bit right now as if Dark Zero has got the same idea as you, Mike, that we

05:36:08.860 --> 05:36:14.820
need to take the fight to base, but that's playing perfectly into Bez's hands. They're

05:36:14.820 --> 05:36:19.140
ready for it. It's what they want. They're going in there and taking the fight, and they're

05:36:19.140 --> 05:36:23.500
winning every one of them. It's almost as if Dark Zero just, they're just clutching it.

05:36:23.500 --> 05:36:25.220
It's a little too tightly.

05:36:25.220 --> 05:36:28.500
I think you're definitely onto something. You know, the drowning from Pace has just

05:36:28.500 --> 05:36:33.600
been exceptional. Folks looking for some sneaky plays as well and unfortunately it's just

05:36:33.600 --> 05:36:36.080
not panning out really well for Dark Zero right now.

05:36:36.080 --> 05:36:41.920
A lot they need to get done to turn this back around. I know that first round was well played

05:36:41.920 --> 05:36:45.800
it was still coming down from losing out on a lot of their gunfights. Being in a 4 vs 2

05:36:45.800 --> 05:36:49.200
really punished them. Like I've often said throughout the tournament, I was used to using

05:36:49.200 --> 05:36:52.920
my hand for the 4-buggers. Sometimes you've got a brilliant idea when it works out, you

05:36:52.920 --> 05:36:57.080
know, like geniuses when it falls apart you can look like morons. And sadly for Dark Zero

05:36:57.080 --> 05:37:01.720
One clock goes far to save morons, but FaZe are certainly showing that there are holes in their plans.

05:37:01.720 --> 05:37:06.720
Vittor King and the pull as NJR gets one, but yet again, it's a four versus two, making a 43.

05:37:06.720 --> 05:37:11.600
KDS is down now two, NJR one more back. Have we seen FaZe lose out on a dominant round here, Tim?

05:37:11.600 --> 05:37:18.560
How about this for a fight back from Dark Zero, Kino, NJR getting worked on, the problem is they taking chip damage along the way.

05:37:18.560 --> 05:37:25.760
Look at the side of FaZe, you've got Handi, you've got Souls both on full health, and it's just so terrifying to play against this team of Brazilians.

05:37:25.760 --> 05:37:28.400
Did you pick any random two? Who have we got to go up against?

05:37:28.400 --> 05:37:31.360
Oh, it's this Handi and Solz! What's the problem?

05:37:31.360 --> 05:37:33.720
I was going to say, this was the big fight that was going to happen on Square

05:37:33.720 --> 05:37:35.880
because Solz was sat on the window. He was giving cover,

05:37:35.880 --> 05:37:38.960
waiting for Handi to be able to get in a spot to get the diffuser down.

05:37:38.960 --> 05:37:40.680
If Handi didn't went out there and square,

05:37:40.680 --> 05:37:42.120
we're having a very different conversation.

05:37:42.120 --> 05:37:45.040
Here he is, Solz, the snake on his belly, recovering.

05:37:45.040 --> 05:37:47.640
The diffuser will now be in a position to get that down.

05:37:47.640 --> 05:37:49.840
Kino has to win this gunfight.

05:37:49.840 --> 05:37:52.680
But Handi has been on fire so far, a bit of chip.

05:37:52.680 --> 05:37:54.720
And Kino falls even lower.

05:37:54.720 --> 05:37:58.280
Final 30 seconds in Souls, not yet still looking to get that diffuser down.

05:37:58.280 --> 05:38:00.400
He's waiting for the shots in, and sure enough,

05:38:00.400 --> 05:38:03.880
Andy completes it all, winning that 2v2.

05:38:03.880 --> 05:38:08.160
I'm wondering now, Will call out to take his call, his timeouts.

05:38:08.160 --> 05:38:11.320
They are 0-2 down and just their plays are not working.

05:38:11.320 --> 05:38:15.040
It was honestly really good to see they managed to bring it back to a 2v2,

05:38:15.040 --> 05:38:16.760
but unfortunately they didn't close it out.

05:38:16.760 --> 05:38:18.800
We're just going to start down at the base, like Will already said.

05:38:18.800 --> 05:38:20.320
So let's go open right here on the mid-site.

05:38:20.320 --> 05:38:22.040
After that, let's go back to the basement.

05:38:22.040 --> 05:38:23.600
Whatever base we want to call, I still want to make sure

05:38:23.600 --> 05:38:27.640
release way sim on the realm now don't just get aside for free fall map then we

05:38:27.640 --> 05:38:31.140
were forced back to see outside both we need to do like just stacked utility we

05:38:31.140 --> 05:38:33.000
got to shut down a little repellent they're gonna keep doing this entire

05:38:33.000 --> 05:38:35.840
game so he's one of the bandits on me in the mirror so like whatever you want to

05:38:35.840 --> 05:38:39.200
stack that we can stack words let's go fucking open and then let's go down to

05:38:39.200 --> 05:38:42.320
the basement like I said we can lay it we need to waste time off that and then

05:38:42.320 --> 05:38:44.800
we go back to see yo if you want to cheese again on the third round we can

05:38:44.800 --> 05:38:47.440
let's cut off for these next two at least for open and fucking a basic cut it

05:38:47.440 --> 05:38:50.080
out and then on round three and we go back for it just makes it up but don't

05:38:50.080 --> 05:38:53.120
try to go for the same one yeah yeah and in general to it's kind of like you're

05:38:53.120 --> 05:38:55.120
Don't feel like we had to do something crazy to beat these guys.

05:38:55.120 --> 05:38:56.120
Yeah, no we don't bro.

05:38:56.120 --> 05:38:59.120
Play together, get aggressive, get the contest, get the same.

05:38:59.120 --> 05:39:02.120
Yeah, open 41, it's the 41 scheme.

05:39:02.120 --> 05:39:05.120
I love the timeout there by callout.

05:39:05.120 --> 05:39:12.120
They're going to stop the cheese for a couple of rounds, play their defaults, play the four backstrips, and then they're going to sprinkle it in again later.

05:39:12.120 --> 05:39:22.120
I really love how they're going to change up their defenses because at the moment obviously it's not working, but DZ are definitely still in this game and I really would love to see them get another few rounds off the back of the timeout.

05:39:22.120 --> 05:39:27.160
What a little about is what he said at the end is, you don't have to do anything crazy

05:39:27.160 --> 05:39:31.560
to beat these guys, play aggressive and more importantly play together.

05:39:31.560 --> 05:39:34.600
This is a classic thing we heard during your attack time arch yesterday, whatever you do

05:39:34.600 --> 05:39:37.640
do it together, use your 3-2-1s.

05:39:37.640 --> 05:39:41.760
As much as there's a lot of things to better right now that enable individual brilliance

05:39:41.760 --> 05:39:45.320
to shine, it's still a team game at its core.

05:39:45.320 --> 05:39:49.680
Face, put it with the 2-0, maybe now DZ can fight their way back into it.

05:39:49.680 --> 05:40:01.680
It's got to be now, hasn't it? You know, they're coming into this one, I think if you go 3-0, 4-0, to come again, come back against a team like Faze, you are asking for serious, serious trouble.

05:40:01.680 --> 05:40:09.680
And right now, I don't know, I just don't think it's looking great for the North American side. I think it's going to be a real struggle for them to get back into this one.

05:40:09.680 --> 05:40:15.680
It has to start now. They're going to be defending for the next four rounds.

05:40:15.680 --> 05:40:20.840
and on bank you just feel like when phase get there they're gonna run rampant on the

05:40:20.840 --> 05:40:25.520
road and they're gonna cause so many problems so dark zero they need a strong defensive

05:40:25.520 --> 05:40:30.280
half. Really really good site information there from phase I know the whole site is

05:40:30.280 --> 05:40:35.000
clear will they hit it we'll see in a second and very interesting operator line up especially

05:40:35.000 --> 05:40:39.400
from phase they've got the blitz they've got the nook very annoying operators to deal with

05:40:39.400 --> 05:40:44.280
so we'll see how DZ you're able to play up against it. It feels like nook and bank goes

05:40:44.280 --> 05:40:47.400
They're like bread and butter just inseparable as a pair at times and

05:40:48.200 --> 05:40:53.320
At least changing the DMR inside if we even more lethal handy the one rolling it out in this round

05:40:53.640 --> 05:40:55.640
As you said there are four players offside

05:40:55.640 --> 05:40:59.000
So there is an option to go here go outside the bottom of this side particular

05:40:59.000 --> 05:41:04.160
There is so much soft flooring above it that defenders can make use of NGR as you see him with a great angle on the water

05:41:04.160 --> 05:41:06.160
All the way through to that copy window

05:41:06.160 --> 05:41:09.240
Well handy is just scrolled on through and as we get that the user down

05:41:09.240 --> 05:41:15.240
DarkZero arguably playing a bit too spread out right now, may well play the price for it, but that's a massive couple of kills.

05:41:15.240 --> 05:41:19.240
Handy has still got sight. I don't even know that he's hitting him. He could punish them.

05:41:19.240 --> 05:41:22.240
Yeah, that's really big for DarkZero. Exactly the start there you did.

05:41:22.240 --> 05:41:25.240
After that time out to just settle the nerves a little bit sold.

05:41:25.240 --> 05:41:29.240
Managers to get one back with that name kill taking down NJR.

05:41:29.240 --> 05:41:31.240
How big a loss could the Warden be here, Mag?

05:41:31.240 --> 05:41:35.240
Honestly, the Blitz is down as well, so it's not that bad.

05:41:35.240 --> 05:41:40.040
The player to look at here is handy. He is on site and I still don't think that he is here.

05:41:40.040 --> 05:41:42.240
They have got a clue. Will get one for himself.

05:41:42.240 --> 05:41:44.640
He's looking for a second but they're both on beepers at the same time.

05:41:44.640 --> 05:41:45.840
They're bound to get rid of souls.

05:41:45.840 --> 05:41:49.640
In fact, Handy is all by himself as Paulson's had a massive round.

05:41:49.640 --> 05:41:52.240
Three to his name and now Handy has to leave site.

05:41:52.240 --> 05:41:54.040
Try and look for a couple of kills here.

05:41:54.040 --> 05:41:55.840
I say that one be once.

05:41:55.840 --> 05:41:57.240
Paul saying lay and that happens.

05:41:57.240 --> 05:41:59.440
Tim, it's a 4k for him in the rounds.

05:41:59.440 --> 05:42:01.040
Yeah, great round from Dark Zero.

05:42:01.040 --> 05:42:03.840
Coming into that, I said that was the one that they really needed.

05:42:03.840 --> 05:42:05.840
to give themselves a little bit

05:42:05.840 --> 05:42:07.840
of a foundation here on bank to

05:42:07.840 --> 05:42:09.840
start fighting back from against

05:42:09.840 --> 05:42:11.840
first. I still think on the

05:42:11.840 --> 05:42:13.840
defense, they're going to need a

05:42:13.840 --> 05:42:15.840
33 at least. It's going to be tough

05:42:15.840 --> 05:42:17.840
for them, but that gives them

05:42:17.840 --> 05:42:19.840
something to work with. Bank

05:42:19.840 --> 05:42:21.840
obviously also being a attack

05:42:21.840 --> 05:42:23.840
started. My recently DZ need all

05:42:23.840 --> 05:42:25.840
the rounds they can get a great

05:42:25.840 --> 05:42:27.840
C4 by false, you know, phase

05:42:27.840 --> 05:42:29.840
winning strategically, but a great

05:42:29.840 --> 05:42:31.840
C4 by false to get them back

05:42:31.840 --> 05:42:35.840
Hmm. Why is it obviously Hibana, along you look towards here, in their case, to try and get hatches closed up?

05:42:35.840 --> 05:42:39.640
We had a couple that weren't opened the last time around, the phase attacked on the downstairs.

05:42:39.640 --> 05:42:43.440
Normally, see obviously, yeah, Ace Hibana come along, so it's also beneficial for the top floor.

05:42:43.440 --> 05:42:45.740
Just the one here, though, makes you think of a phase that will change it up.

05:42:45.740 --> 05:42:48.140
Bring a few hard-reached gadgets, bring the Ace.

05:42:48.140 --> 05:42:52.140
It's not really a big problem, so why do you think he is actually into walls that Hibana ban?

05:42:52.140 --> 05:42:56.840
I think the Hibana over the Ace is also a lot easier to open up the outside walls.

05:42:56.840 --> 05:43:01.040
She can open a lot more walls if you are attacking the top side.

05:43:01.040 --> 05:43:12.040
And also, unlike Ace, Habana is very strong on the Basement side attacking, and DZ need all the round taking yet, so Vening the Habana also really helps him able to win this Basement side.

05:43:12.040 --> 05:43:21.040
I'm going to have this defensive set up, making sure all the hatches are done, T's are crossed

05:43:21.040 --> 05:43:22.040
and I's are dotted.

05:43:22.040 --> 05:43:27.000
If somebody wants to see whether there's going to be that top floor presence again that Dark

05:43:27.000 --> 05:43:30.640
Zero tried last time, I don't think they will be looking at the operator line up, they're

05:43:30.640 --> 05:43:34.840
going to top the way from that, it's a shame, because it really nearly learnt from them,

05:43:34.840 --> 05:43:37.160
but you definitely don't get away with trying things twice.

05:43:37.160 --> 05:43:41.120
I love this set up on the hatches that we see now as well with the Volcan canister and

05:43:41.120 --> 05:43:47.360
to get on there. Just burning so much attack utility. And the kaii. Really want to make

05:43:47.360 --> 05:43:52.020
it hard for them. The time waste is going to be really important for Dark Zero. This

05:43:52.020 --> 05:43:56.480
strat has got so much of it. They've got to get the Goyo. They have to get the Ireni.

05:43:56.480 --> 05:44:00.800
They have to get the kaii. Even the mag. They might be only going to C4 kill or shot up the

05:44:00.800 --> 05:44:04.720
hatch while he's maving the hatch. Honestly, really, really well fought out strat from

05:44:04.720 --> 05:44:09.560
DZ, especially with the Habanabe. And he's not on the nut this time round, but it is

05:44:09.560 --> 05:44:12.860
They're all the same, trying to be a little bit sneaky-beaky-like.

05:44:13.460 --> 05:44:15.760
Of course, the nut was more to get into one sight last time around here.

05:44:15.760 --> 05:44:18.160
He's got to push his way up, sees the feet, takes shots,

05:44:18.160 --> 05:44:20.460
but doesn't find his man. Now that they know he's here, though,

05:44:20.460 --> 05:44:21.860
he becomes a bit of a straight shootout,

05:44:21.860 --> 05:44:24.460
but he's in such a good position to win out in this fight.

05:44:24.460 --> 05:44:25.960
It's going to take some real effort.

05:44:25.960 --> 05:44:28.360
I think here, Jaina knows, aware that he's in trouble,

05:44:28.360 --> 05:44:30.760
so calls on a bit of support while he's running distraction.

05:44:30.760 --> 05:44:33.260
Paul's looking in, there's three of them, stacking up and trying to...

05:44:33.260 --> 05:44:35.560
Isaac has a one-player here, he goes for the one,

05:44:35.560 --> 05:44:37.360
and Jaina, I know, sure enough, finds him.

05:44:37.360 --> 05:44:39.600
A great bit of team play from Dark Zero.

05:44:39.600 --> 05:44:42.120
Honestly, a huge pick there by Dark Zero.

05:44:42.120 --> 05:44:45.440
Just having the control of Garas for the attacking team

05:44:45.440 --> 05:44:47.400
is really, really strong with Dark Zero.

05:44:47.400 --> 05:44:50.360
A great retake with three players to pick up that kill.

05:44:50.360 --> 05:44:52.200
At all moments, also, it makes me wonder

05:44:52.200 --> 05:44:54.120
how many of those Vulcan canisters are left.

05:44:54.120 --> 05:44:56.040
Obviously, the ones on hatches have been dealt with,

05:44:56.040 --> 05:44:58.000
but that's going to be one of the big tasks

05:44:58.000 --> 05:45:00.080
that you're looking for from your Twitch.

05:45:00.080 --> 05:45:02.440
Losing Twitch early is around Marcus' mean

05:45:02.440 --> 05:45:04.880
that there's a little bit of extra utility there.

05:45:04.880 --> 05:45:10.320
lose a hard breach gadget as well. They've got their work cut out for them here.

05:45:11.440 --> 05:45:15.360
Easy playing their win conditions really well. They've gotten the first pick, they're falling back

05:45:15.360 --> 05:45:19.600
and they're now going to rely on their C4s and little chankers and their go-yos.

05:45:20.240 --> 05:45:23.760
Still going to get this up, put it up one way or another and ensuring they're trying to play through

05:45:24.480 --> 05:45:27.920
laser gate through the electrics through everything. Now it gets to work on opening up

05:45:27.920 --> 05:45:31.520
that one so they will get them in the end but it is going to take an extra 30 seconds to maybe

05:45:31.520 --> 05:45:35.280
what they used to. However, they still got 60 seconds to play with. They've got the server control

05:45:35.280 --> 05:45:40.320
that they need. No garage backstab as we noted earlier on. So this is a bit one-directional in a

05:45:40.320 --> 05:45:44.160
way for Darkseer is going to feel, but as long as they play behind their utility, many looking of

05:45:44.160 --> 05:45:49.520
course at NGR on the Tachanka and those two C4s, but they can hold FaZe at bay. Yeah, we saw Cyber

05:45:49.520 --> 05:45:54.160
going on a big rotate there with them after it may be an opportunity to drop Folder Puff. He's

05:45:54.160 --> 05:45:58.720
going to need to do it quickly if he does needless take down souls. We're going to have KDS pushing

05:45:58.720 --> 05:46:04.240
into sight here, but as he gets splashed out by his own teammate, a lot of damage comes in as well.

05:46:04.240 --> 05:46:10.480
Cyber damage elsewhere, Keenraugh finishes off KDF. This is all going in favour of the North Americans,

05:46:10.480 --> 05:46:15.920
Dark Zero fighting hard. Five versus one, Cyber, 20 seconds and no chance.

05:46:16.960 --> 05:46:21.360
A lot is going to get done for sure, and I see no HP to his name as you say, Tim. This one is over,

05:46:21.360 --> 05:46:26.320
Kullar is going to be ecstatic with how these last two rounds have gone. They were down 0 and 2,

05:46:26.320 --> 05:46:32.480
it was looking rough, but they played incredibly well flawlessly, you might say, especially in round four.

05:46:33.520 --> 05:46:40.160
Such an important time out there from Caller and just DZ have just gone to that plan to perfection.

05:46:40.160 --> 05:46:44.960
I'm interested with these next two rounds. Will they try the right plays again? Caller mentioned

05:46:44.960 --> 05:46:50.720
before we can try some cheese stuff, but honestly, you know, 0-2-2-2. Very, very nice comeback here

05:46:50.720 --> 05:46:55.120
from DZ to bring it back. How are you feeling as a coach right now? You've had that tactical time out.

05:46:55.120 --> 05:47:02.580
That's your big opportunity to impact the game and then your team, the guys have gone out there and got the follow-ins to Ryan's got level.

05:47:02.580 --> 05:47:03.920
You've got to be right up there.

05:47:03.920 --> 05:47:05.420
You can still look a boss when that happens.

05:47:05.420 --> 05:47:07.820
Oh, it's all me, guys. It's all me.

05:47:07.820 --> 05:47:19.720
It's, you know, it's a little bit of me. I'm not in there playing the game, but honestly, really, really, I guess, proud, you know, just confident that we can change the game plan up, stick to it and get the next two rounds.

05:47:19.720 --> 05:47:24.120
And I think, you know, DZ, they might ride this momentum into the next two rounds.

05:47:25.120 --> 05:47:29.360
Sure hope so. By the way, I've got to say, rage bait bootcamp. I think every team needs that.

05:47:30.320 --> 05:47:35.120
Well, I'm just glad that all my plays were able to do some content. I think, you know,

05:47:35.120 --> 05:47:39.760
teams should be doing more content. I'm really happy the boys weren't afraid to do it. It was

05:47:39.760 --> 05:47:44.480
just honestly really fun to do and also just a great team bonding experience. Absolutely. Do you

05:47:44.480 --> 05:47:49.040
want to sit it? Check out the Rainbow Six account on social media and you'll see that video. It was

05:47:49.040 --> 05:47:54.000
absolutely phenomenal. So, let's see how we press forward from here then. Instead, we've got two

05:47:54.000 --> 05:47:58.800
We've got two great rounds from DZ and you're hoping our ride that I mentioned to another round win.

05:47:58.800 --> 05:48:06.800
Looking to be busy, got the tracks on side of that form that has become probably our most picked but definitely one of our highest picked operators at tournament Z.

05:48:06.800 --> 05:48:17.300
LUN will continue to be absolutely not outweigh. I think it feels a little bit like we have maybe a few sort of less niche picks than we used to.

05:48:17.300 --> 05:48:23.340
You know, we do tend to see a lot of the same at the minute of those power operators, but of course, you know

05:48:23.340 --> 05:48:29.900
They're always gonna revolve with the meta and we'll see you know as those shifts continue to happen as time goes on

05:48:29.900 --> 05:48:34.820
But back to the shrine 45 seconds in we are still five versus five is a top

05:48:35.860 --> 05:48:43.020
And we've got cyber already very quickly might working his way into our cast and serious damage could be done by the demos

05:48:43.020 --> 05:48:49.020
So, Foltz is in the basement. He's trying to find, I assume, to be Sider, who is now an Archive's teller.

05:48:49.020 --> 05:48:55.020
So, I'm going to be really interested to see if he'll be able to get Sider when he starts tracking the defenders on the top floor.

05:48:55.020 --> 05:48:59.020
She'll be taken away by the Flores. Well, that's right, it's Tormund, of course.

05:48:59.020 --> 05:49:02.020
The Fireball being as dominant as it is.

05:49:02.020 --> 05:49:06.020
Flores, things have only risen in popularity, a lot of it to help clear the way through.

05:49:06.020 --> 05:49:09.020
Solve for the right ideal of the interwar. Janitor will hop down the hallway.

05:49:09.020 --> 05:49:10.020
All the way.

05:49:10.020 --> 05:49:12.020
Brutase ones up on the head, Brutase walks all the way.

05:49:12.020 --> 05:49:16.020
They've got themselves opening now in towards Jantek and towards CEO.

05:49:16.020 --> 05:49:20.020
So, things are starting to get a little bit more exposed for Dark Zero.

05:49:20.020 --> 05:49:23.020
We've very much got themselves pushed over towards the west side of this top corner saying,

05:49:23.020 --> 05:49:26.020
look, you want to open it, you want to play for a plant, you do that.

05:49:26.020 --> 05:49:27.020
We've got ways to deal with it.

05:49:27.020 --> 05:49:30.020
I'm interested to see just how they're going to do another plant

05:49:30.020 --> 05:49:33.020
if it's not kind of on the smoke, because the defenders have been pushed back

05:49:33.020 --> 05:49:37.020
as Folt starts to slowly creep up service stairs.

05:49:37.020 --> 05:49:41.980
face however will start their execute so folks will need to get the timing he

05:49:41.980 --> 05:49:46.200
does not get the timing and cyber knows he's here this is the opportunity now

05:49:46.200 --> 05:49:51.260
for cyber and he doesn't need asking twice handy doubles down finds MJR this

05:49:51.260 --> 05:49:55.140
is all going fierce as we've they've lost two rounds on their map and they

05:49:55.140 --> 05:49:57.820
don't like it they are answering back right now

05:49:57.820 --> 05:50:02.980
poor versus one it is all up to this man Jen I know natural come down not gonna

05:50:02.980 --> 05:50:08.260
to find its target. He can start fighting back but he's got another problem there's

05:50:08.260 --> 05:50:12.900
the diffusers going down almost certainly going to be stalk one versus three in a

05:50:12.900 --> 05:50:17.300
course one. And he gets to down KDS at least fall into the floor. Much more to do

05:50:17.300 --> 05:50:20.860
though in the round and such a little time to do it with. He's got about 25

05:50:20.860 --> 05:50:25.060
seconds to find these two kills and stick the disabled both players

05:50:25.060 --> 05:50:28.540
scattering off the long range. They're using the superior. Skyte the Scytes.

05:50:28.540 --> 05:50:32.640
And if I'm the kill they need phase breaking that two round win streak from DZ

05:50:33.040 --> 05:50:35.540
If I was DZ, I honestly wouldn't be too

05:50:36.220 --> 05:50:38.980
Disappointed about that round CEO one of the hardest

05:50:39.340 --> 05:50:44.780
Sites to defend the thermite opening that janitor wall as well meant that they couldn't play in janitor

05:50:44.780 --> 05:50:51.820
So honestly looking to go open area. I think DZ should be hopefully able to get a third round on their defense

05:50:52.580 --> 05:50:56.040
I'm building towards it for sure this she says going back towards one of the sides

05:50:56.040 --> 05:51:03.040
they felt comfortable on. They can get the 3-3, finish carry on as it feels like it's gone in all of our maps so far today.

05:51:03.040 --> 05:51:09.040
It has just been nailed by something close here. All games, all maps, come from a separate team back on club

05:51:09.040 --> 05:51:15.040
and it's starting to build into the same here, but if you can get an advantage, there is a lot of pressure that then starts to build on towards DC.

05:51:15.040 --> 05:51:20.040
Just looking at the numbers for that top floor start here at Salt Lake, absolutely backing what you see there, Mag.

05:51:20.040 --> 05:51:28.040
41% defender win rate. It is a tough one to hold on to. So like you said, they just need to shake that one off. We move on, we go again.

05:51:28.040 --> 05:51:35.040
I think a 3-3 half actually suits them, I think. You know, that really gives them a find the issues with the attack then.

05:51:35.040 --> 05:51:43.040
DZ, one of the best attacking teams of the event. 3-3 half, I think they'd be very happy with that. Again, those souls on the nook.

05:51:43.040 --> 05:51:46.040
I'm interested to see where he wants to entry this time.

05:51:46.040 --> 05:51:50.920
I think about the same thing again, right?

05:51:50.920 --> 05:51:55.080
Worked my way up through garage, up main stairs, try and be a little bit of a backstab back there.

05:51:55.080 --> 05:51:57.800
See that up close in the end.

05:51:57.800 --> 05:52:01.480
I'm curious what we're both asking actually, Magus, well, we had a conversation about some broadcasts of the day.

05:52:01.480 --> 05:52:04.680
The round for top floor, only really thinking about that one because of the noise.

05:52:04.680 --> 05:52:06.920
Well, I guess we're on the first floor, but typically we've seen some scenes.

05:52:06.920 --> 05:52:10.600
Bring it along the floor, top floor attacks. Why would you bring around the floor, top floor attacks?

05:52:10.600 --> 05:52:12.120
We know it!

05:52:12.120 --> 05:52:19.480
I honestly have no idea it might be you know to come up some sort of sound but for a top floor attack you'd bring her in

05:52:19.800 --> 05:52:21.480
That look heavy investment

05:52:21.480 --> 05:52:26.600
I'm baffled. Oh here is fine. So there's a baffled just yet because on this side it does make sense

05:52:26.600 --> 05:52:32.360
They still want top floor control to then rip up those floorboards of which you can often do from outside the map as well tossing that drone

05:52:32.360 --> 05:52:38.360
Outside the building let it rumble on through you aren't having to expose yourself like you would on a sledge or a block to get the same outcome

05:52:38.360 --> 05:52:46.080
Yes, and defenders especially on Bank will be playing in their outtouch tellers to throw C4s as a huge lobby presence here from Faze sneaking up

05:52:46.280 --> 05:52:48.640
Yeah, they wanted to just power their way through here

05:52:48.640 --> 05:52:51.040
But that means they've got to punish someone on their way through for now

05:52:51.480 --> 05:52:57.640
Not wanting to open anything up the soul starts his march up these main stairs barbed wire also taken out that may be a small indication

05:52:58.360 --> 05:53:03.040
For BZ, but then it was enough to hear it that Aquino hits the deck and finds souls

05:53:03.040 --> 05:53:06.000
That's a wonderful first kill that you feel souls really should have had

05:53:06.000 --> 05:53:11.520
Not all with that, but he doubles down with another onto-handy huge player from Kino.

05:53:11.520 --> 05:53:14.400
He's the man on the top floor, he's there to waste time,

05:53:14.400 --> 05:53:17.680
and to give birth to something to think about, and boy, he has it.

05:53:17.680 --> 05:53:21.360
What a trouble. They're now having to throw more bodies at this mate.

05:53:21.360 --> 05:53:24.640
Kainai in these power positions doing so well.

05:53:24.640 --> 05:53:29.040
He's now picked up two kills, and Dark Zero just falling back to side,

05:53:29.040 --> 05:53:32.320
playing the win conditions while Fault is just in scarlight,

05:53:32.320 --> 05:53:33.680
making sure he doesn't die.

05:53:33.680 --> 05:53:42.680
5v3 situation, you want to be able to play the trade and not give a single pick back to FaZe, really, really well done here from DarkZero, and especially Kynote to open up the rail.

05:53:43.680 --> 05:53:46.680
Thanks, Eugene, I know who was for a long time, still upstairs, there's now a back to way.

05:53:47.680 --> 05:53:56.680
Realising they've got a 5v3, just cluster together, don't take any rest, so if you're saying now you've still got smoke to play behind, they've got fire, they've got the bullet proof, feeding information at the same time.

05:53:57.680 --> 05:54:01.680
This one should be the answer to taking, but you just never quite know if FaZe will or not, you can count them out.

05:54:01.680 --> 05:54:08.000
I think you know that you never can is the reality, but that ramp is now getting to work

05:54:08.000 --> 05:54:12.680
Gonna make it difficult for DarkZero inside a site, but there have been none of it, and I know

05:54:12.680 --> 05:54:16.680
Managing to find the kill, I think that was on the vertical taking down KDS

05:54:16.680 --> 05:54:22.680
Bitterking knows that there's one top blue and Fultz, he's just gonna hold his position by his time here

05:54:22.680 --> 05:54:27.680
Because he knows that they can't aggress with him there, he pops out and takes down Cyber

05:54:27.680 --> 05:54:41.680
It's all up to picking 1v5 from the 1v4, stepping round into the side, the flames are there, not a chance, NJR using the big LMG, takes him down another round, Dark Zero.

05:54:41.680 --> 05:54:49.680
Big round for DZ as well, because it gets that 3-3 split. Honestly, we've had so many 3-3 splits today, it's getting a bit silly at this point.

05:54:49.680 --> 05:54:52.680
Let's go into our halftime now and see what the teams have got to say.

05:54:52.680 --> 05:54:54.680
Am I not here?

05:54:54.680 --> 05:54:56.680
I think we can scan them

05:54:56.680 --> 05:54:57.680
We can't

05:54:57.680 --> 05:54:58.680
I mean, it's just basic

05:54:58.680 --> 05:54:59.680
So what you got?

05:54:59.680 --> 05:55:00.680
I don't like the band though

05:55:00.680 --> 05:55:01.680
We're banding tube

05:55:01.680 --> 05:55:02.680
And then if they band ace, we band smoke

05:55:02.680 --> 05:55:03.680
If they don't band ace, we band a zombie

05:55:03.680 --> 05:55:04.680
Yep

05:55:04.680 --> 05:55:06.680
It's probably Q, DSP, they bring up the wall

05:55:06.680 --> 05:55:07.680
That's it

05:55:07.680 --> 05:55:08.680
Yeah, especially for the setting band

05:55:08.680 --> 05:55:10.680
If the smoke is banded, first thing

05:55:10.680 --> 05:55:13.680
We do the iso, square front, and ball bullshit

05:55:13.680 --> 05:55:14.680
We lean into

05:55:14.680 --> 05:55:15.680
No, we see some shit

05:55:15.680 --> 05:55:16.680
We lean into this hard side

05:55:16.680 --> 05:55:17.680
Obviously call it as seen

05:55:17.680 --> 05:55:19.680
Especially with the setup base

05:55:19.680 --> 05:55:20.680
Detach

05:55:20.680 --> 05:55:21.680
Yeah, especially in the prep phase

05:55:21.680 --> 05:55:26.740
Especially in the prep phase like when we're actually set up to the site side like we're getting the hatches of bullshit like that should be where the aggression then

05:55:26.740 --> 05:55:28.740
That's about it. Yeah

05:55:28.740 --> 05:55:33.460
Also that falls in. We also need to make sure Sandy dashes stack up too. Compared to last map

05:55:33.460 --> 05:55:35.700
We need to listen to what we're saying and make sure we're getting the right spots

05:55:35.700 --> 05:55:40.580
Like make sure we're not just making the little tiny mistakes like positioning errors like in that fucking genitact that we had

05:55:40.820 --> 05:55:44.300
If I got on a fight if we just get the shit in place right fellas, we're gonna hamper each other stack up

05:55:44.300 --> 05:55:47.420
Yeah, yeah, so just keep that simple is the biggest thing. Yeah

05:55:47.420 --> 05:55:51.080
Just like using all this defense subside like us. We just kept a simple problem. It was better

05:55:51.080 --> 05:55:53.080
Oh, you're getting yeah, I'm happy over thinking it all

05:56:01.220 --> 05:56:03.220
No, they know

05:56:17.420 --> 05:56:19.420
one

05:56:23.420 --> 05:56:25.420
the

05:56:25.420 --> 05:56:27.420
the

05:56:28.420 --> 05:56:30.420
the

05:56:35.420 --> 05:56:38.420
the

05:56:39.420 --> 05:56:41.420
the

05:56:41.420 --> 05:56:43.420
the

05:56:43.420 --> 05:56:45.420
the

05:56:45.420 --> 05:56:47.060
It's a good one.

05:56:47.060 --> 05:56:48.060
It's a good one, guys.

05:56:48.060 --> 05:56:49.620
It's a good one.

05:56:49.620 --> 05:56:51.060
It's a good one.

05:56:51.060 --> 05:56:52.260
It's a good one.

05:57:15.420 --> 05:57:19.820
But for the two-minute timeout, I'd like to say, for that second minute, you know,

05:57:19.820 --> 05:57:23.540
there is not as much to talk about, but to me, looking at that,

05:57:23.540 --> 05:57:26.660
DZ looking really good, I think, getting into the attack.

05:57:26.660 --> 05:57:29.140
And casting your mind back further than being a coach,

05:57:29.140 --> 05:57:31.220
going all the way back to being a player, Mark,

05:57:31.220 --> 05:57:34.260
how do you feel about that level of silence there?

05:57:34.260 --> 05:57:36.500
Sometimes, you know, we see it in the tech pauses, particularly,

05:57:36.500 --> 05:57:38.020
and it's always something I wonder about.

05:57:38.020 --> 05:57:40.100
How much impact does a player does that have?

05:57:40.100 --> 05:57:42.420
You know, you just sat with your own thoughts,

05:57:42.420 --> 05:57:44.820
there's, you know, nothing much to be said.

05:57:44.820 --> 05:57:46.820
How does that impact you?

05:57:46.820 --> 05:57:51.620
I think it's just the foot off the gas pedal for FaZe.

05:57:51.620 --> 05:57:53.460
You know, that dead air, that silence,

05:57:53.460 --> 05:57:55.780
it's not good going into the second half.

05:57:55.780 --> 05:57:58.500
And I think we need to be talking about anything at that point

05:57:58.500 --> 05:57:59.820
because there's just silence.

05:57:59.820 --> 05:58:01.820
I'm thinking about breakfast tomorrow.

05:58:01.820 --> 05:58:03.260
What happened before a grand final?

05:58:03.260 --> 05:58:05.740
I'm sure I got two.

05:58:05.740 --> 05:58:09.020
We had a few cheers here in Salt Lake when Mabsep did a BZ,

05:58:09.020 --> 05:58:10.420
may well do the comeback here.

05:58:10.420 --> 05:58:12.500
And then you just riled a little bit further

05:58:12.500 --> 05:58:13.500
in the other direction.

05:58:13.500 --> 05:58:16.200
That's my job mate, I like to say the chaos, what can I say?

05:58:16.200 --> 05:58:19.500
With R0, I did come in and say I think, okay,

05:58:19.500 --> 05:58:23.000
I think they can fight a way back through here because it is their most highly preferred map.

05:58:23.000 --> 05:58:24.800
And they're on their favourite side.

05:58:24.800 --> 05:58:28.300
They will have the tools required to get this one if done.

05:58:28.300 --> 05:58:32.800
As you see our phase 2 on the defense, so as we said, they are the best defensive team at the competition.

05:58:32.800 --> 05:58:36.000
They are working those fountains and certainly going to be an easy match on 4.

05:58:36.000 --> 05:58:39.800
We spoke a lot about the mirror, they were running back on the previous map of Clubhouse.

05:58:39.800 --> 05:58:42.500
It's in their hands here, Biddicking on Bank 2.

05:58:43.500 --> 05:58:50.500
kind of on blitz I wonder where he will go for this attract, Joe Nining has already taken up top as they are joining.

05:58:50.500 --> 05:58:54.500
The defenders have looked like they are just falling back to side here.

05:58:54.500 --> 05:58:59.500
As I think the blitz should post her towards the blue stairs to take that straight away.

05:58:59.500 --> 05:59:04.500
Now Mil looking towards the scents as well, like you look at the lineup and you see the cream, you see the blitz, you see the scents,

05:59:04.500 --> 05:59:07.500
it screams that they've got an execute in mind and it means getting through the mapping,

05:59:07.500 --> 05:59:11.100
through the mapping, relatively sensible time, and this is why I think in IQ you look at it and go,

05:59:11.100 --> 05:59:15.260
well, there's no Valkyrie on side, there's no Echo. Why bring it? I think it genuinely is just to

05:59:15.260 --> 05:59:18.140
help them move through the map that little bit quicker, because you've got to worry about

05:59:18.140 --> 05:59:22.140
the ones you press that are down. You've got to worry about those F-nats, so getting your team safety

05:59:22.140 --> 05:59:27.100
to the site is the most important thing. Exactly right, my friend. We do see that, but it's taking

05:59:27.100 --> 05:59:32.540
blue stairs quickly, looking to give them access into server, make sure that they have that available.

05:59:32.540 --> 05:59:35.740
Does get forced back a little bit by the smart coming out, but that's really not the end of the

05:59:35.740 --> 05:59:40.540
world. We're a minute 15 into the round and they're already burning that utility. Souls now with only

05:59:40.540 --> 05:59:46.620
two toxic bed canisters in pocket. There's no other real denial beyond the nitros for that plant side.

05:59:46.620 --> 05:59:51.180
And they are not always the easiest to hit. How about this little bit of king? They've got a move

05:59:51.180 --> 05:59:57.260
stuck right under that hatch and as you said they're just waiting to be burnt off but due to the

05:59:57.260 --> 06:00:01.980
opportunity to relocate us. I feel like I've seen that tech quite a few times now this tournament

06:00:01.980 --> 06:00:06.540
on bank is this brilliant as an actual way to save in a few seconds, planning away a bit more time,

06:00:06.540 --> 06:00:09.980
and when you're really bringing her along for the, while it proves them for the DMR it just

06:00:09.980 --> 06:00:15.260
goes up a little added bonus that you get from the ability. We've seen the mirror on the default

06:00:15.260 --> 06:00:20.860
plant wall that means that the attackers will have a very hard time opening that wall up and

06:00:20.860 --> 06:00:25.100
going for a default plant so we're going to have to see something different in the plant

06:00:25.100 --> 06:00:28.700
situation from Kana. He might run in the middle of the bomb zone, he might go deep as the sense

06:00:28.700 --> 06:00:29.700
What's going to happen?

06:00:29.700 --> 06:00:31.700
It's not quite keeping up here at the same time as well.

06:00:31.700 --> 06:00:34.700
The smoke comes out and we'll keep them at bay for that little bit longer.

06:00:34.700 --> 06:00:35.700
Gc forced to play behind.

06:00:35.700 --> 06:00:37.700
He gets towards that last four feet.

06:00:37.700 --> 06:00:39.700
Utility not going to be able to deny them away for the whole thing.

06:00:39.700 --> 06:00:41.700
It's into some point.

06:00:41.700 --> 06:00:43.700
They will have to step up and get a couple of kills.

06:00:43.700 --> 06:00:45.700
Exactly that. NJR just hovering around that hatch.

06:00:45.700 --> 06:00:48.700
So I don't think it's too easy to drop if you can avoid it

06:00:48.700 --> 06:00:50.700
because they want to keep that vertical for later.

06:00:50.700 --> 06:00:51.700
Nitro comes out.

06:00:51.700 --> 06:00:52.700
He's not going to do the lob.

06:00:52.700 --> 06:00:55.700
KDS does manage to find full support.

06:00:55.700 --> 06:01:02.580
This plan is going to be stuck, ripped up from DarkZero on the attack, NJR one from above onto Cyber.

06:01:02.580 --> 06:01:09.540
Fizz are going to have to go for the Reef take on this top floor and this is just beautiful from NJR, gets one down.

06:01:09.540 --> 06:01:14.660
Can he find the second nade? They've got through to the hatch, NJR needs to now fight for it.

06:01:14.660 --> 06:01:19.780
He's got a lot of work there too, but he's wasting a lot of time. Don't forget that the Fuzer is going down at the top of the screen.

06:01:19.780 --> 06:01:24.100
Down to our last 10 seconds here to get a recovery off, but he's found a triple in the round.

06:01:24.100 --> 06:01:26.660
NJR has done the lot, him and J-9-0.

06:01:26.660 --> 06:01:29.540
There's the two left standing with the real heroes of this round.

06:01:29.540 --> 06:01:32.260
But this one can be a bit too hard for him to recover.

06:01:32.260 --> 06:01:33.700
Bitter King gonna have to stick this one now.

06:01:33.700 --> 06:01:35.380
NJR can afford to drop now.

06:01:35.380 --> 06:01:36.020
And go for it.

06:01:36.020 --> 06:01:37.940
It doesn't matter if he dies at this point,

06:01:37.940 --> 06:01:39.380
because there is no time left.

06:01:40.020 --> 06:01:42.580
Dark Zero will pull into the lead.

06:01:42.580 --> 06:01:45.700
J-9-0 shooting two C-4s out of the air.

06:01:45.700 --> 06:01:48.180
NJR, a brilliant move over from Square,

06:01:48.180 --> 06:01:50.900
over towards Archives to get that cut on the flank.

06:01:50.900 --> 06:01:52.420
Wonderful round from those two players.

06:01:54.100 --> 06:02:00.820
Honestly, this sense, walls doing very, very big damage because you have no idea where the enemy is going to plant.

06:02:00.820 --> 06:02:07.220
Phase No, it's not going to be on the default wall, and then J9 is shooting two of those C4s really securing the round,

06:02:07.220 --> 06:02:14.420
especially on the basement, on bank. It is probably the hardest site to retake and get that defuse.

06:02:14.420 --> 06:02:19.380
So, honestly, in a 4v5 situation, really, really well done from DZ to get the round.

06:02:49.380 --> 06:02:52.780
on this side of the thing, and they continue to do so.

06:02:52.780 --> 06:02:55.580
4-3 as they get a successful first attack,

06:02:55.580 --> 06:02:57.380
and now it's going to be on the top floor.

06:02:57.380 --> 06:03:00.580
We've already set how difficult a site this is to defend.

06:03:00.580 --> 06:03:05.380
41% defender win rate at this event so far for CEO.

06:03:05.380 --> 06:03:08.980
A real opportunity for Dark Zero here to stretch that lead.

06:03:09.980 --> 06:03:13.180
Anyone watching here? We have a Pali in the lineup.

06:03:13.180 --> 06:03:15.980
Not an operator we see very much, but for CEO,

06:03:15.980 --> 06:03:18.380
she can get the castles, she can get the warden out,

06:03:18.380 --> 06:03:19.620
She can get the mirrors.

06:03:19.620 --> 06:03:21.820
A very, very strong operator for the CEO,

06:03:21.820 --> 06:03:25.660
and I'm hoping that she might get a kill on the long repels.

06:03:25.660 --> 06:03:27.020
I think it's the same with the Flores too.

06:03:27.020 --> 06:03:29.060
I looked at that line of the phase, and I was like,

06:03:29.060 --> 06:03:31.460
my God, that is a useful dump and a half.

06:03:31.460 --> 06:03:33.660
To clear your way through even half of it.

06:03:33.660 --> 06:03:34.940
It's more towards the laser gates,

06:03:34.940 --> 06:03:37.020
and of course, into walls, there's castle barricades

06:03:37.020 --> 06:03:38.740
that'll be down the shield to worry about.

06:03:38.740 --> 06:03:40.980
Electrification, it's like, oh, my God.

06:03:40.980 --> 06:03:42.580
And so actually, I think having these two operators

06:03:42.580 --> 06:03:44.620
on side specifically, Flores and the Carly,

06:03:44.620 --> 06:03:46.580
as you were alluding to, perfect.

06:03:46.580 --> 06:03:49.180
But you're on your way through this bunker setup coming out from base

06:03:49.640 --> 06:03:54.200
We also have the glass and the thermite which means NJL will have to go into

06:03:54.380 --> 06:03:59.380
Skylight to open that wall and I dare say glass will be maybe in the janitor hallway watching

06:04:05.540 --> 06:04:07.540
Just burning time here

06:04:08.260 --> 06:04:10.360
As much as they can but it's tough when fairs

06:04:10.360 --> 06:04:16.760
are all over the mightiness, and JR gets himself inside of Square,

06:04:16.760 --> 06:04:18.960
can think about getting that wall opened up,

06:04:18.960 --> 06:04:23.360
but Faze again just punishing them and making it difficult for Dark Zero to move him,

06:04:23.360 --> 06:04:25.360
and a half left in the round.

06:04:25.360 --> 06:04:27.760
We've all been there, that Panic, have I got a shot from where?

06:04:27.760 --> 06:04:30.760
There was no one inside of Garage, it was across from that top floor.

06:04:30.760 --> 06:04:33.160
It's not from the angle that he was watching, but it's a reminder,

06:04:33.160 --> 06:04:34.960
Faze are aware that he's there.

06:04:34.960 --> 06:04:37.760
It was a cool thing about Kino who's playing on the glass.

06:04:37.760 --> 06:04:40.260
A lot of long range in this round from Dark Zero.

06:04:40.260 --> 06:04:43.760
They're waiting for someone on FaZe to be moved into a spot that they can collect them.

06:04:43.760 --> 06:04:46.760
So far, they're giving nothing. Bidikimu dangerously low.

06:04:46.760 --> 06:04:50.260
Don't forget, he's got all three smokes in that pocket with 1HP to his name.

06:04:50.260 --> 06:04:52.260
He's got to be so careful from here on out.

06:04:53.260 --> 06:04:56.760
Similar to how FaZe attacked, they've managed to open up the Janitor wall,

06:04:56.760 --> 06:05:01.260
which means they cannot sit in Janitor, as Kaino has managed to swing himself in

06:05:01.260 --> 06:05:02.760
for a lot of pressure on the glass.

06:05:02.760 --> 06:05:05.260
He does get smoked out, and yet they kill him.

06:05:05.260 --> 06:05:08.940
Smoke has got us one, they've lost both of those damages that he didn't get a chance to get out,

06:05:08.940 --> 06:05:11.440
knew us into another. NJR makes it a third.

06:05:11.440 --> 06:05:16.740
Dark Zero really starting to cook here. This could be their second round in a row to kick this off.

06:05:16.740 --> 06:05:21.900
NJR deals to the flank and he finds one, but Kino is there for the close.

06:05:21.900 --> 06:05:25.740
DZ really living up to that attacking reputation to him.

06:05:25.740 --> 06:05:31.020
Yeah, not only are Dark Zero starting to cook here, but the Saltwick City crowd are getting on their feet.

06:05:31.020 --> 06:05:34.420
They're getting lowed and they are backing the North Americans

06:05:34.420 --> 06:05:37.940
because you can just feel it in the air for the minute and so Confess

06:05:37.940 --> 06:05:39.460
we're gonna take a time out

06:06:04.420 --> 06:06:09.420
I think that if you take the shield on the smoke there and get a little more in front of it

06:06:09.420 --> 06:06:10.420
And then take the same play?

06:06:10.420 --> 06:06:14.420
You take the same shield on the smoke there too, you can take the same play, just one of those two guys

06:06:14.420 --> 06:06:15.420
And yours?

06:06:15.420 --> 06:06:18.420
Man, I'm good with the shield, I just need to get a little more in front of it

06:06:18.420 --> 06:06:21.420
It's also because you don't even have to do anything, you have to see

06:06:34.420 --> 06:06:41.620
I wonder what will be face Clans defences from Nellon because we did see like you said

06:06:42.420 --> 06:06:47.380
DZ taking the timeout after two round losses and then getting too back. So I'm interested to see

06:06:47.380 --> 06:06:52.500
just what they will do. It seems they will do a extended serve with the Castle on open area.

06:06:53.780 --> 06:06:59.620
And I wonder how much they will try and deny the entry positions from the DZ because DZ

06:06:59.620 --> 06:07:05.620
When they get the operators into position, when they set up for the execution, they are unstoppable.

06:07:05.620 --> 06:07:08.620
So I think FaZe will try to disrupt them.

06:07:08.620 --> 06:07:12.620
I think it's important that we remind ourselves of what you said after that hard time as well.

06:07:12.620 --> 06:07:16.620
Like, you know, we spoke about the silence from FaZe, and you said it as a player,

06:07:16.620 --> 06:07:20.620
it feels like the energy drops, you're taking your pot off the gas a little bit.

06:07:20.620 --> 06:07:22.620
They haven't won around since then.

06:07:22.620 --> 06:07:24.620
So, you know, we've kind of got to keep that in mind.

06:07:24.620 --> 06:07:27.620
This is now something they've got to bring back into the team almost.

06:07:27.620 --> 06:07:32.940
more walls definitely someone needs to just bring up the energy on the team get

06:07:32.940 --> 06:07:36.620
everyone hyped up again to make sure I'm talking to each other.

06:07:36.620 --> 06:07:40.340
It'll be a big one I mean and looking at it Dars here have also come equipped in no

06:07:40.340 --> 06:07:43.220
probably the chat from phase was oh we're being a bit too passive here but

06:07:43.220 --> 06:07:45.860
letting them run over us we need to go and be aggressive and meet them in the

06:07:45.860 --> 06:07:49.780
map more so what do they do? Lion, the KB and the Blitz coming along to try and

06:07:49.780 --> 06:07:53.020
deal with those roamers, press them and punish those two that are a bit too far

06:07:53.020 --> 06:07:58.180
out of position. It feels like a sensible response. And this is as it stands, keeping

06:07:58.180 --> 06:08:01.660
the very close eye on where Kino's going. He's the one with the diffuser in hand.

06:08:01.660 --> 06:08:04.900
He saw a handy dispatcher crash, walk his way in towards site last time around.

06:08:04.900 --> 06:08:07.900
Of course it's a blitz, makes a fair whack, more noise than a nook will.

06:08:07.900 --> 06:08:10.940
There's always that opportunity to look for a kitchen plan, given where he's pushing

06:08:10.940 --> 06:08:11.940
him from.

06:08:11.940 --> 06:08:19.300
Unfortunately, for Cairo though, it is kind of so. The warden is on site, so will he

06:08:19.300 --> 06:08:22.700
be able to get that pick onto the warden on site? We will see.

06:08:22.700 --> 06:08:24.900
taking a little bit of tag damage as well as he steps on through.

06:08:24.900 --> 06:08:27.860
Now it's the back way for a moment, even with the phone call ringing out.

06:08:27.860 --> 06:08:32.860
First, two available. The next one online and available for Nuerz to use in 20 seconds.

06:08:32.860 --> 06:08:35.140
Z4 comes out, but do we quite find this man now?

06:08:35.140 --> 06:08:37.740
Cyber Strikes. Even with all this information,

06:08:37.740 --> 06:08:41.340
they still can't find the man himself, but Nuerz comes in, gets another one more,

06:08:41.340 --> 06:08:44.020
straight up onto the wall, and Solz falls as well.

06:08:44.020 --> 06:08:46.860
Docks here again, but pull the trigger, and they're moving in pace.

06:08:46.860 --> 06:08:50.060
Yeah, and they are absolutely rattling through fears right now.

06:08:50.060 --> 06:08:53.860
Like sharks circling, they can just taste that blood in the water.

06:08:53.860 --> 06:08:56.380
They know that the Brazilians are there for the taking.

06:08:56.380 --> 06:08:59.540
Victor King on seriously low health on the saw list.

06:08:59.540 --> 06:09:03.420
Such important utility for them to keep a hold of here.

06:09:03.420 --> 06:09:06.860
And we've got a glass in the middle of sight.

06:09:06.860 --> 06:09:09.260
So crucial he finds this kill.

06:09:09.260 --> 06:09:10.940
He knows what's happening across the water, guys.

06:09:10.940 --> 06:09:14.380
Sure enough, the base to base off!

06:09:14.380 --> 06:09:15.820
Gold spots off with a second.

06:09:15.820 --> 06:09:17.380
Yes, the headshot.

06:09:17.380 --> 06:09:24.020
DZ, they break that post-timeout warrior. Will FaZe bounce back? The answer, emphatically, is no.

06:09:25.620 --> 06:09:35.380
DZ really hitting up now, individually. No reactions from FaZe, especially after the timeout.

06:09:35.380 --> 06:09:37.220
I think DZ is going to run away with this, Matt, boys.

06:09:38.660 --> 06:09:43.140
We did say coming in, it's a map they love. FaZe will play pretty much any map going,

06:09:43.140 --> 06:09:48.140
But it was a bit of a bold call going into a map that DZ loved so much

06:09:48.140 --> 06:09:52.380
They're one round away from sending us through to Chalet, but Tim

06:09:52.580 --> 06:09:56.980
We've spoken about phases Chalet so many times over the last year or so

06:09:57.540 --> 06:10:01.060
Very difficult team to beat that I want to say they've lost it once over the last six months

06:10:01.060 --> 06:10:03.060
They've got 11 and one record on it

06:10:03.580 --> 06:10:05.580
It's a very tall order to bring them down

06:10:05.860 --> 06:10:07.860
Four rounds in a row

06:10:07.860 --> 06:10:13.860
Good arc, zero, and just one round away from having that opportunity, Dez, to take them down.

06:10:13.860 --> 06:10:17.660
I want a map three, I think everybody here wants a map three.

06:10:17.660 --> 06:10:22.660
I think we're going to get a map three, Tim, two, I don't see Dez, he letting them put off the gas now.

06:10:22.660 --> 06:10:26.660
Running along into a similar kind of setup, looking towards the snake, but it's been in and out,

06:10:26.660 --> 06:10:28.860
I guess popularity throughout this map so far.

06:10:28.860 --> 06:10:32.260
Stepping away from the line with the KB either way, they want that information because

06:10:32.260 --> 06:10:35.860
the respective base will want to be a bit more interesting, but given we're down in the basement,

06:10:35.860 --> 06:10:37.860
This is the line of policy in here, mate.

06:10:37.860 --> 06:10:39.860
It looks like Bayes want to hunker down.

06:10:39.860 --> 06:10:41.860
Bayes definitely want to hunker down.

06:10:41.860 --> 06:10:44.860
I'm wondering what the Wamai is for.

06:10:44.860 --> 06:10:47.860
It might be for the sensors, and I think it also will be

06:10:47.860 --> 06:10:49.860
to impact trick anything.

06:10:49.860 --> 06:10:52.860
Put on the default wall where the popped mirror will be.

06:10:52.860 --> 06:10:54.860
You don't usually see Wamai on the basement side,

06:10:54.860 --> 06:10:58.860
so I'm very interested to see just how much impact it can have on-site.

06:10:58.860 --> 06:11:00.860
Also the Capitats are worried about at the same time.

06:11:00.860 --> 06:11:04.860
I guess if you can shut those bolts away from going into walls hallway,

06:11:04.860 --> 06:11:08.300
Potentially the defenders can sit there and still cause a lot of bother souls

06:11:08.300 --> 06:11:09.020
I've got a gang of

06:11:09.020 --> 06:11:13.300
Be a big expense in the man playing on that Shankar spoke a lot about it on this site

06:11:13.300 --> 06:11:18.180
So you do a lot of digging remember a good bar to go you can waste well over a minute with those kind of pellets

06:11:18.180 --> 06:11:21.660
If you've managed to juggle them just right and if anyone's gonna it's gonna be solid

06:11:21.660 --> 06:11:23.740
Yeah, you're looking at about the minute 15 mark

06:11:23.740 --> 06:11:27.780
You can comfortably cut down from there and just the thing is as well

06:11:27.780 --> 06:11:32.220
It does the damage a lot faster than a smoke does as well if you do get caught up in that fire

06:11:32.220 --> 06:11:39.860
you are going to lose a lot of HP, but the T'Chanka is now essential because the smoke has been banned out.

06:11:39.860 --> 06:11:45.500
So this defense from Fertig becomes really tough because they've got to kind of shape everything around,

06:11:45.500 --> 06:11:48.780
allowing the souls to focus on that job.

06:11:48.780 --> 06:11:55.700
Can I say also great use of the EMP gadget there by Pogs to make sure that the hard-rich charge will go off.

06:11:55.700 --> 06:11:59.740
He's done it again, so really good counterplay, already from Dizzy on the Spaceman attack.

06:11:59.740 --> 06:12:02.240
Like the game you chest between these two.

06:12:02.240 --> 06:12:04.240
Again, coming back to prior comments,

06:12:04.240 --> 06:12:06.740
it does feel like watching perfection in action.

06:12:06.740 --> 06:12:09.240
Finding responses to each other, always having a reaction.

06:12:09.240 --> 06:12:12.240
To the other side of the final hatch, going to get opened up.

06:12:12.240 --> 06:12:14.740
And that's a lot of the initial setup work done by DZ.

06:12:14.740 --> 06:12:17.240
Now it's a case of lining up for the execute and ensuring

06:12:17.240 --> 06:12:19.240
you can force these defenders away.

06:12:19.240 --> 06:12:21.740
Solz, they need to have a plan for him.

06:12:21.740 --> 06:12:23.240
He can waste so much time.

06:12:23.240 --> 06:12:25.740
You see backstats in from Lobby, previous hit, Lobby through garage.

06:12:25.740 --> 06:12:27.740
Sometimes even the shooting, let's see, going his way.

06:12:27.740 --> 06:12:32.220
like fire from J9O will be enough. Mentioned of a mind, he could save it.

06:12:32.220 --> 06:12:38.300
With all 20 canisters remaining, souls can do some serious work now to deny this plant spot,

06:12:38.300 --> 06:12:43.260
the default spot. So Dark Zero and I've got two choices. They either find another avenue,

06:12:43.260 --> 06:12:48.300
elevate his vault, garage soul that they can disrupt as a chanker, or they find an alternative

06:12:48.300 --> 06:12:53.900
plant spot. We're gonna see the smoke's coming up from the blitz, the fire coming out to stop

06:12:53.900 --> 06:12:59.900
off the pachinko, we'll be running through the fire, yes or no, there you go, Colts gets a kill as well as Blitz goes in.

06:12:59.900 --> 06:13:04.900
Now he goes both top again at the same time, two defuser going down and slightly off angle, two they're not going to be able to get the angle onto him.

06:13:04.900 --> 06:13:11.900
No, as the hatch cover is there from Neuers, massive kill, defuser down a 3v3 and Kino manages to get away.

06:13:11.900 --> 06:13:17.900
This is huge from Darkseer, off it's a kick, moves out, takes a challenge on the reverse angle through that mirror window,

06:13:17.900 --> 06:13:22.100
finds his man, J9, all taken out. Two versus two, Kino.

06:13:22.100 --> 06:13:25.900
Very well helped as well, but Dark Fero has the hatches.

06:13:25.900 --> 06:13:27.900
That is the big thing. Wow.

06:13:27.900 --> 06:13:30.900
Fizz going to be able to retake a book.

06:13:30.900 --> 06:13:32.900
Not if Kino hasn't been to say about it.

06:13:32.900 --> 06:13:36.900
Fiddler King takes their newest book, with only 10 seconds left.

06:13:36.900 --> 06:13:39.900
Kino needs to pick the time to make his movie cost.

06:13:39.900 --> 06:13:41.900
He needs to survive. He goes to the back.

06:13:41.900 --> 06:13:57.900
And you can't say it isn't deserved after a mat like that.

06:13:57.900 --> 06:14:03.900
A 7-3, 7-3 dominating, over face.

06:14:03.900 --> 06:14:09.900
Now they've got to make it happen on Chalet.

06:14:09.900 --> 06:14:13.020
The whole place on their feet here, Desk.

06:14:13.020 --> 06:14:15.900
They are desperate for my free saw-weed.

06:14:15.900 --> 06:14:19.420
We've got a short break, and they're not exactly where we're headed.

06:14:39.900 --> 06:14:41.900
I

06:20:09.900 --> 06:20:31.380
KDS, you took their map pick, they take your map pick, what was the difficulty there that

06:20:31.380 --> 06:20:32.700
you faced on map 2?

06:20:32.700 --> 06:20:37.700
I think we let the team play the, like, play the map.

06:20:37.700 --> 06:20:41.000
We don't do anything like we don't get the kills.

06:20:41.000 --> 06:20:43.900
So I think we are very passive in the game.

06:20:43.900 --> 06:20:45.200
I think this is the word.

06:20:45.200 --> 06:20:48.500
So, yeah, I think this is the main problem for us.

06:20:48.500 --> 06:20:50.400
NJR, you've been leading your team,

06:20:50.400 --> 06:20:53.300
leading the stats here at the Salt Lake City Major as a whole.

06:20:53.300 --> 06:20:56.900
You now led your team to a third map against the World Champs.

06:20:56.900 --> 06:21:01.200
What is it about this place that is just powering you up?

06:21:01.200 --> 06:21:10.080
It has nothing to do with this boys quite frankly. I mean, I think it's just the environment we have on the team allows like all of us to like show up and like just be present and

06:21:10.640 --> 06:21:16.560
And be grateful for like our time together in the server. And I think that's really just that's really just uh

06:21:17.840 --> 06:21:19.840
Awesome. Good luck

06:21:21.760 --> 06:21:27.520
The mighty mighty phase can drop their first map of this entire

06:21:27.520 --> 06:21:35.920
tournament here at Salt Lake City and with Fox and Lacks. Lacks. DZ had Faze gone in the back pocket on Bank.

06:21:35.920 --> 06:21:41.220
I mean they're no longer flawless anymore. I mean they had a concrete strategy going into this, especially in their defenses.

06:21:41.220 --> 06:21:45.020
I mean round four in particular they knew Andy was going to be by himself and what did they do?

06:21:45.020 --> 06:21:49.720
They send three people into garage to be able to fight them, but then they just play back into their lairs.

06:21:49.720 --> 06:21:54.720
He was doing a very good job here staying alive, holding down Red, being able to pull off a double kill here

06:21:54.720 --> 06:21:59.560
And there's really nothing left for Cyber to be able to do here outside of just waiting to be picked off and have a flawless round

06:21:59.560 --> 06:22:05.180
But then they go back into that sixth round great heads up from Kino getting the pick here now what I do appreciate

06:22:05.180 --> 06:22:06.440
I mean he's still holding his position

06:22:06.440 --> 06:22:10.240
He's knowing that phase likes to double up and they like to pinch all at the same time

06:22:10.240 --> 06:22:15.640
He finds that double kill with the beauty of it Kino falls back again playing into these layers look once again

06:22:15.640 --> 06:22:16.520
It's a 4v1

06:22:16.520 --> 06:22:23.000
There's nothing left now for Biddiqui to be able to do and it's why they will look so strong on defense and their plan from clubhouse

06:22:23.000 --> 06:22:27.600
coming into here was just falling back into the numbers, playing into the layers and forcing

06:22:27.600 --> 06:22:29.300
Faze's hand as you heard KDS say.

06:22:29.300 --> 06:22:32.560
I mean the split was beautiful to be able to have it, but once they swapped to attacks

06:22:32.560 --> 06:22:34.160
that's where we saw it just run away.

06:22:34.160 --> 06:22:36.520
I mean a lot of it came down to the side of Foltz.

06:22:36.520 --> 06:22:40.840
He's jumping in on round nine, but pay attention to the Operators, Glitz, Glass.

06:22:40.840 --> 06:22:45.840
It's something that DZ love to use, is Cheese Operators because they know that Faze is a

06:22:45.840 --> 06:22:47.640
very disciplined team, so they take it to him.

06:22:47.640 --> 06:22:51.680
I mean this round was beautifully played, being tied to a 2v2.

06:22:51.680 --> 06:23:03.680
He also doesn't just go peaking, if he would have stood up at any moment here, he would have got his head shot, he would have lost the positioning, but he played discipline, used that glass, waited for his teammate to be able to come to the system, and that's when he goes for the fight, and he gets two.

06:23:03.680 --> 06:23:12.680
And that was all of the attacks. We're seeing glass, we're seeing blitz, we're seeing sense, constantly bringing these operators to keep FaZe Clan on their toes and catch them off guard.

06:23:12.680 --> 06:23:14.820
I mean, you just look at the cost across the board from Darkseer.

06:23:14.820 --> 06:23:17.360
I mean, everyone is honestly on the same level,

06:23:17.360 --> 06:23:19.000
maybe outside of Newer's on a 60%,

06:23:19.000 --> 06:23:21.660
but everyone is doing their job single-handedly very well.

06:23:21.660 --> 06:23:24.000
They're coming together as a unit, and that's what we need to see here,

06:23:24.000 --> 06:23:25.240
and that's what got them the over the edge,

06:23:25.240 --> 06:23:26.840
to get them here into the chalet,

06:23:26.840 --> 06:23:29.400
to decide whether or not they can get to a grand final.

06:23:29.400 --> 06:23:30.400
Well, I'll tell you what,

06:23:30.400 --> 06:23:32.040
hoping that they'll get to a grand final.

06:23:32.040 --> 06:23:36.180
We've got a lovely family in the crowd standing by with Jonah.

06:23:36.180 --> 06:23:38.240
I'm pretty sure he's new as his family,

06:23:38.240 --> 06:23:40.320
and they are super excited that he's going to map three.

06:23:40.320 --> 06:23:42.120
Jonah.

06:23:42.120 --> 06:23:43.720
Guys, I'm here in the crowd once again,

06:23:43.720 --> 06:23:45.840
this time with the Newers grandma,

06:23:45.840 --> 06:23:48.920
Kathy, who's been here alongside his parents,

06:23:48.920 --> 06:23:50.520
watching this unfold.

06:23:50.520 --> 06:23:52.680
I had a few minutes, Kathy, to sit down with you guys

06:23:52.680 --> 06:23:53.760
during this last match.

06:23:53.760 --> 06:23:56.000
It feels like, I mean, you're on the edge of your seat

06:23:56.000 --> 06:23:56.840
every time.

06:23:56.840 --> 06:23:59.720
I can't imagine the anxiety you guys must be feeling.

06:23:59.720 --> 06:24:03.080
Oh, yes, ready for a stroke, yeah.

06:24:03.080 --> 06:24:06.520
Just very proud and excited for Newers

06:24:06.520 --> 06:24:07.680
and the rest of the team.

06:24:07.680 --> 06:24:09.040
DC's a great team.

06:24:09.040 --> 06:24:11.840
The whole group of guys is just wonderful

06:24:11.840 --> 06:24:15.120
and call out to in particular as a coach is just great.

06:24:15.120 --> 06:24:15.440
Yeah.

06:24:15.440 --> 06:24:17.560
It seems like you know a ton about this team.

06:24:17.560 --> 06:24:18.280
Yes.

06:24:18.280 --> 06:24:19.720
Yeah, there's a bunch of good guys.

06:24:19.720 --> 06:24:21.880
I'm really happy that he's on this team.

06:24:21.880 --> 06:24:23.800
How long have you been supporting him

06:24:23.800 --> 06:24:25.640
in this eSports journey the whole time?

06:24:25.640 --> 06:24:27.640
Oh, yeah, before he was a pro.

06:24:27.640 --> 06:24:28.000
Yeah.

06:24:28.000 --> 06:24:30.000
Oh, I've watched all of his games.

06:24:30.000 --> 06:24:31.880
Is this the first time you've been in person?

06:24:31.880 --> 06:24:32.560
Perf, major.

06:24:32.560 --> 06:24:33.240
Yes.

06:24:33.240 --> 06:24:33.720
Yes.

06:24:33.720 --> 06:24:35.520
I was, I just retired.

06:24:35.520 --> 06:24:38.080
So I'm able now to travel a little bit more.

06:24:38.080 --> 06:24:39.120
So yeah.

06:24:39.120 --> 06:24:41.880
I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

06:24:41.880 --> 06:24:43.600
I mean, what do you make of this environment?

06:24:43.600 --> 06:24:46.200
I mean, this eSports, this whole crazy experience.

06:24:46.200 --> 06:24:50.280
Watching it at home is entirely different.

06:24:50.280 --> 06:24:54.120
This is just more heart failure for me.

06:24:54.120 --> 06:24:55.200
But I love it.

06:24:55.200 --> 06:24:55.840
It's great.

06:24:55.840 --> 06:24:56.680
It's great.

06:24:56.680 --> 06:24:58.280
Thank you so much, Cathy.

06:24:58.280 --> 06:25:01.720
Best of luck to Newers and all of this going on over here.

06:25:01.720 --> 06:25:02.640
Thank you so much.

06:25:02.640 --> 06:25:03.640
I really appreciate it.

06:25:03.640 --> 06:25:04.960
Back to you guys.

06:25:04.960 --> 06:25:07.840
And best of luck in your retirement as well.

06:25:07.840 --> 06:25:09.840
Salt Lake City makes it nice for Kathy!

06:25:09.840 --> 06:25:11.840
I think we all deserve it!

06:25:11.840 --> 06:25:13.840
The Grandmother Lake Kathy.

06:25:13.840 --> 06:25:15.840
Watches all the games.

06:25:15.840 --> 06:25:16.840
What a woman.

06:25:16.840 --> 06:25:18.840
How is she a grandma by the way?

06:25:18.840 --> 06:25:19.840
She looks incredible.

06:25:19.840 --> 06:25:21.840
All right, short predictions from both of you guys for this one.

06:25:21.840 --> 06:25:22.840
That's three.

06:25:22.840 --> 06:25:24.840
Grand finalists, who's it going to be?

06:25:24.840 --> 06:25:26.840
I mean, we said that it was going to take a miracle.

06:25:26.840 --> 06:25:28.840
They're going to now face this best map.

06:25:28.840 --> 06:25:30.840
They just beat them on their second map.

06:25:30.840 --> 06:25:31.840
I think Dark Zero takes it.

06:25:31.840 --> 06:25:33.840
I think Dark Zero takes it.

06:25:33.840 --> 06:25:35.840
Salt Lake City!

06:25:35.840 --> 06:25:37.840
Are we ready for this?

06:25:37.840 --> 06:25:39.840
I can't hear you!

06:25:41.840 --> 06:25:44.840
Let's get into the final map.

06:25:44.840 --> 06:25:46.840
This is Ace Mag.

06:25:46.840 --> 06:25:48.840
Let's close this bad boy out.

06:25:48.840 --> 06:25:52.840
And closing it out on Halibah map in its chalet.

06:25:52.840 --> 06:25:55.840
I said earlier on, Pays over the last six months are 11 of them.

06:25:55.840 --> 06:25:57.840
What on this map, Tim?

06:25:57.840 --> 06:26:02.840
If anyone's going to bring them down though, it feels like DZCAN backed up by this home crowd.

06:26:02.840 --> 06:26:10.840
I think you can use that for me.

06:26:10.840 --> 06:26:13.840
I know exactly which way they're

06:26:13.840 --> 06:26:15.840
leaning. Let's get into it.

06:26:15.840 --> 06:26:16.840
Operator bands to come out first.

06:26:16.840 --> 06:26:18.840
The mirror being taken away here.

06:26:18.840 --> 06:26:20.840
We've seen it as a banner and pick

06:26:20.840 --> 06:26:22.840
throughout the series from phase

06:26:22.840 --> 06:26:24.840
so far, it being taken away doesn't

06:26:24.840 --> 06:26:26.840
horribly surprise me.

06:26:26.840 --> 06:26:28.840
Second place in the first

06:26:28.840 --> 06:26:35.000
So far it being taken away doesn't horribly surprise me second one gonna be the ex-army on the other side bank

06:26:35.000 --> 06:26:39.500
It's the double shield ban. I'm very excited to see dark zero on their attack

06:26:39.640 --> 06:26:46.240
They went flawless on their attack in half on bank. So I'm really really excited to see what they're gonna bring out on this

06:26:46.240 --> 06:26:48.240
Shall I attack?

06:26:48.240 --> 06:26:49.960
A lot to do for sure

06:26:49.960 --> 06:26:54.880
You need a strong half here Tim really thrown up like shall I I'd say that I end up a 4-2 start

06:26:54.880 --> 06:26:59.880
Of course, the score line don't matter as long as it's better than what your opponents get on the other side.

06:26:59.880 --> 06:27:03.880
But as we said, bays are no slouches on this map.

06:27:03.880 --> 06:27:07.880
Starting things off, up on the top floor, it's a master and an office start.

06:27:07.880 --> 06:27:12.880
And the defenders shock her a team and find themselves playing out into the map.

06:27:12.880 --> 06:27:15.880
Bidding, especially on that four, no doubt going to push down towards library side.

06:27:15.880 --> 06:27:19.880
And with the Ki being available, they're going to close up a few of these walls nice and tight.

06:27:19.880 --> 06:27:23.880
Niroz has been going absolutely massive for DarkZero so far, but looking into this one,

06:27:23.880 --> 06:27:29.140
this one. I think we're looking towards NJR. Top rated player here at the tournament. Coming

06:27:29.140 --> 06:27:34.040
into today, he's been a little bit quiet so far. Nothing wrong with that necessarily,

06:27:34.040 --> 06:27:38.640
but when you're looking for that extra 10% to get you over the line against a team like

06:27:38.640 --> 06:27:42.840
Faze, you're looking for those superstar players. We've seen it in Ambi for the last

06:27:42.840 --> 06:27:47.480
couple of days from Shopify Rebellion. He's been super popular here in Salt Lake, is it?

06:27:47.480 --> 06:27:51.680
And you feel like this could be NJR's Moe McDonnells to put himself up on that pedestal

06:27:51.680 --> 06:27:56.320
as well. Every player's got to find themselves going big here. I had a good conversation with a

06:27:56.320 --> 06:28:01.360
couple of others yesterday around. The players on the side of DT rivaled on Faze given the

06:28:01.360 --> 06:28:06.320
accomplishments they had over the last 12 to 18 months and the name that came to my mind was

06:28:06.320 --> 06:28:12.880
NJR at the time. But newer is Surly, making sure he's in that conversation. Fouls also had a brilliant

06:28:12.880 --> 06:28:18.480
couple of maps. No complaints overall. Early start here though Faze, working the heads out windows

06:28:18.480 --> 06:28:20.240
looking to see what they can find.

06:28:20.240 --> 06:28:22.440
Dark Zero going for a library sweep.

06:28:22.440 --> 06:28:25.320
Very, very good, I think.

06:28:25.320 --> 06:28:27.240
They're just going to make sure they don't get picked off

06:28:27.240 --> 06:28:28.960
while they're holding these angles.

06:28:28.960 --> 06:28:32.120
So J9, doing a really, really good job

06:28:32.120 --> 06:28:34.920
at making sure you didn't get picked yourself.

06:28:34.920 --> 06:28:37.040
He almost had a chance there to find A pickers

06:28:37.040 --> 06:28:38.000
phase round their way through.

06:28:38.000 --> 06:28:39.800
And this is really what you see him Dark Zero doing

06:28:39.800 --> 06:28:40.640
at the start of this game.

06:28:40.640 --> 06:28:41.760
Stick outside the building,

06:28:41.760 --> 06:28:44.160
try and look to make players on the side of phase move

06:28:44.160 --> 06:28:46.040
and you cut them as they're moving on the flank.

06:28:46.040 --> 06:28:47.360
Maps like this are brilliant for it

06:28:47.360 --> 06:28:51.760
because there aren't many rooms on the map that don't have externally facing windows or doorways.

06:28:51.760 --> 06:28:55.260
So I think you're going to see a lot of action outside the building overall.

06:28:55.260 --> 06:28:58.560
Once we're inside, that's when things really start to heat up, Tim.

06:28:58.560 --> 06:29:04.860
Going to see that first scan going out onto the mute, but how they're going to be able to get to a jammer.

06:29:04.860 --> 06:29:08.360
Yes, they will. We see that little symbol disappearing from above.

06:29:08.360 --> 06:29:10.060
Sibershead pretty quickly.

06:29:10.060 --> 06:29:14.360
So that will be the end of that utility coming in from newer's.

06:29:14.360 --> 06:29:20.100
Bucket on the window, Kino just going to be spreading in through site, unable to find anybody just yet.

06:29:20.100 --> 06:29:22.420
Dark Zero taking grind pretty well here.

06:29:22.420 --> 06:29:23.320
Got eyes on him.

06:29:23.320 --> 06:29:26.920
Seems like Dark Zero just slowly choking the defensive.

06:29:27.880 --> 06:29:31.060
As the Nade comes out, misses, but a smoke wave also comes out from...

06:29:31.760 --> 06:29:32.480
...the sides.

06:29:33.120 --> 06:29:36.520
Souls falls, doers taking control of Solar, hunters straight march up here.

06:29:36.520 --> 06:29:39.920
Mycash is a little bit up guard, but it can get rid of Kino on the window.

06:29:39.920 --> 06:29:50.320
A 4 vs 3 though, Syvers down and finished off by J9, they're rolling on 4th, he rounds the corner, but Neuers, I thought surely he'd miss it, but no, it's Pitter King missing the return fire.

06:29:50.320 --> 06:29:57.520
A 4 vs 2, a great jump back, there's two players on Dog Zero, hit the deck, Handy and KDS, we've been here before, they can bite back.

06:29:57.520 --> 06:30:06.720
One problem for Dog Zero here is they've got one person outside, NJR, he's on the repel at the minute, it's going to be difficult for him to get inside of the map, he can hold his angle,

06:30:06.720 --> 06:30:10.880
but the clock only works for one team and right now that is FaZe.

06:30:10.880 --> 06:30:14.960
If nobody presents themselves as an option for him, it could be tough,

06:30:14.960 --> 06:30:18.240
but FaZe have been pushed back to that piano side.

06:30:18.240 --> 06:30:22.080
Is there room for Neuers to get in here and put the diffuser down

06:30:22.080 --> 06:30:24.880
whilst the cover is there from double window?

06:30:24.880 --> 06:30:27.040
And JR, he has to win these five.

06:30:27.040 --> 06:30:29.760
He does. That's the first, not the second.

06:30:29.760 --> 06:30:33.440
And I ask for more! I ask for more from JR,

06:30:33.440 --> 06:30:35.360
and he delivers in round one.

06:30:35.360 --> 06:30:39.100
the first round. He's a little

06:30:39.120 --> 06:30:41.100
quiet on the first two maps,

06:30:41.120 --> 06:30:43.000
but he has stepped up in this

06:30:43.000 --> 06:30:44.160
round and got in a very

06:30:44.200 --> 06:30:45.560
important round against phase.

06:30:45.600 --> 06:30:47.540
So well played in the two V2

06:30:47.560 --> 06:30:49.460
admittedly. I was terrified.

06:30:49.500 --> 06:30:51.100
What a story was on the

06:30:51.100 --> 06:30:52.380
NKDS again being in a 2v4 and

06:30:52.400 --> 06:30:53.880
getting the first couple of

06:30:53.900 --> 06:30:55.380
kills. I thought, wow, we've

06:30:55.400 --> 06:30:56.800
been here before they can get

06:30:56.800 --> 06:30:57.780
this one back over the line,

06:30:57.780 --> 06:30:59.540
but it was so beautifully

06:30:59.540 --> 06:31:00.940
played. It's a bit nervous for

06:31:00.940 --> 06:31:02.380
new is on the initial run

06:31:02.380 --> 06:31:03.520
through. If he gets tacked down

06:31:03.520 --> 06:31:05.180
there, the round is over. NJR

06:31:05.180 --> 06:31:07.580
has to move from the window to try and recover it.

06:31:07.580 --> 06:31:10.140
The fact that he managed to get in, stuck in tight.

06:31:10.140 --> 06:31:13.700
So Captain is very, very proud watching that one play out.

06:31:13.700 --> 06:31:15.860
Darts are at 1-0 to get things off then.

06:31:15.860 --> 06:31:16.860
Can they make it two?

06:31:20.220 --> 06:31:21.700
Phase on the defense.

06:31:21.700 --> 06:31:23.660
Shelly bringing a lot of traps here.

06:31:23.660 --> 06:31:25.420
They have the thorn, they have the denarii,

06:31:25.420 --> 06:31:26.860
they have the shield.

06:31:26.860 --> 06:31:28.420
An interesting left of the pulse.

06:31:28.420 --> 06:31:32.100
I'd be very interested to see where Solz will want to get info

06:31:32.100 --> 06:31:32.940
for Phase.

06:31:32.940 --> 06:31:36.140
Now Shield of this place has to be inside of the library itself.

06:31:36.140 --> 06:31:41.140
That's a long time ago now, an older iteration of Dark Zero NGR.

06:31:41.140 --> 06:31:45.640
It's a popularised playing game and moving in and out of the box and into the library itself.

06:31:45.640 --> 06:31:48.240
Base here opting instead to go for the Shield inside.

06:31:48.240 --> 06:31:50.940
You have to enable the best player to step in and out of that doorway.

06:31:50.940 --> 06:31:55.640
You have to contest the window and of course up towards Ivy at the same time.

06:31:55.640 --> 06:31:58.240
If you think there's not going to be a Shield of this at the top of the library though.

06:31:58.240 --> 06:32:01.240
So, our gaps here, the Dark Zero of the looks like.

06:32:01.240 --> 06:32:04.640
I'm just trying to think, what is the huge shield for?

06:32:04.640 --> 06:32:09.420
Since we have a no-fronted plant here, because the cat is banned, so he goes in, the thought goes off,

06:32:09.420 --> 06:32:12.420
goes up onto the table, and starts all plant down.

06:32:12.420 --> 06:32:15.380
So smart, because the C4's not going to find him either, Kino.

06:32:15.380 --> 06:32:17.500
4xHP at this point, and no one can judge him.

06:32:17.500 --> 06:32:21.900
They're about to get away with it, and all 10 players are still alive in the server.

06:32:21.900 --> 06:32:24.260
Like that, FaZe in the slot, what's just happened?

06:32:24.260 --> 06:32:26.260
We have been absolutely mugged!

06:32:26.260 --> 06:32:30.820
NJR getting the entry, Cyber pulls down, they've got about 20 seconds to save his team.

06:32:30.820 --> 06:32:35.060
An absolute snatch and grab coming from Dark Zero there.

06:32:35.060 --> 06:32:38.260
We said it's difficult to catch face by surprise,

06:32:38.260 --> 06:32:40.580
but the North Americans, they're finding a way

06:32:40.580 --> 06:32:44.820
full with a beautiful shot onto KDS and such a tough retake

06:32:44.820 --> 06:32:48.020
because you have to deal with those players outside.

06:32:48.020 --> 06:32:53.220
Faze can deal with none of them and Dark Zero secure a flawless round.

06:32:54.420 --> 06:32:55.940
Great attack from Dark Zero.

06:32:55.940 --> 06:32:58.340
I was wondering what the fuse was for

06:32:58.340 --> 06:33:00.100
and it was just the replacement for the Blitz.

06:33:00.820 --> 06:33:04.100
They executed the smoke, and of course, here comes a face timeout.

06:33:30.820 --> 06:33:35.060
So we're going to make the cheat trap, right?

06:33:35.060 --> 06:33:36.380
And...

06:33:36.380 --> 06:33:39.780
But you're going to be doing a little more so you can get the animal back, you know?

06:33:39.780 --> 06:33:41.780
And the kitchen will do what we did?

06:33:41.780 --> 06:33:43.060
Excuse me, we'll do what we did.

06:33:43.060 --> 06:33:45.060
Let's go guys, let's go!

06:33:45.060 --> 06:33:47.060
Let's play a little more aggressive.

06:33:47.060 --> 06:33:50.060
What do you mean we're going to put the trap on the door?

06:34:00.820 --> 06:34:09.820
nowhere near, and I can imagine there's the fear of God in phase right now that Dark Zero will keep on doing these tempos which is mid-round that left him completely rattled in round two.

06:34:09.820 --> 06:34:18.820
One question I've got about Shal-Air, might be a perfectly place to answer it. When we look at Shal-Air, it's one of the few maps I think that's got four very viable sides.

06:34:18.820 --> 06:34:25.820
Does that make it more difficult to kind of prepare for that as an attacker because you don't really know where you're going to be going?

06:34:25.820 --> 06:34:30.080
Definitely, you know the basement very very viable side we see wild card

06:34:30.080 --> 06:34:31.760
They love their tertiary sites

06:34:31.760 --> 06:34:36.380
And if you don't practice against the tertiary site and scrims and then someone pulls it up in the game day

06:34:36.380 --> 06:34:38.380
It's a lot harder to attack

06:34:40.100 --> 06:34:44.540
So we go down with the pitch and set up by the guy in four round three

06:34:45.200 --> 06:34:49.060
He's really trying for gamut of ideas here to see if they can get something over life

06:34:49.060 --> 06:34:51.060
I believe it might have an answer here

06:34:51.060 --> 06:34:56.300
I only worry to him, what I dare say it again, is they've got a lot of investment going into wars on the library side.

06:34:56.300 --> 06:34:59.660
Even when we were defending the library last time round, we saw the response from Dark Zero was right.

06:34:59.660 --> 06:35:02.740
Send it in through the window boys, get the plunk down!

06:35:02.740 --> 06:35:07.460
Admittedly with this site, you can't quite go as fast, not as a direct external facing window.

06:35:07.460 --> 06:35:12.900
You can go inside of for an immediate plan, but they could still look to go fast again here if they identified.

06:35:12.900 --> 06:35:15.420
A lot of things are on site itself.

06:35:15.420 --> 06:35:21.420
I'm sure you have one of those maps where you can just hit side directly when you do have the gap.

06:35:21.420 --> 06:35:26.420
Interested to see where Foltz will enter from as Gernadik's putting a lot of pressure on site.

06:35:26.420 --> 06:35:29.420
They just hit the side before. It's a pressuring side again.

06:35:29.420 --> 06:35:33.420
Mike's pulled the defenders over to that side, so Foltz can't take the rest of the map.

06:35:37.420 --> 06:35:41.420
Here it will continue as we get the main lobby door opened up.

06:35:41.420 --> 06:35:45.420
They're not really reacting too much to what DarkZero are doing.

06:35:45.420 --> 06:35:48.420
I think they've largely given over the library side of the map.

06:35:48.420 --> 06:35:51.420
They're happy to know, look, we're not going to contest that too much.

06:35:51.420 --> 06:35:57.420
Their main focal point is Office, it's Piano, it's Ivy, it's keeping them out of that area.

06:35:57.420 --> 06:35:59.420
They want to maintain that vertical oversight.

06:35:59.420 --> 06:36:02.420
They want to make sure they don't lose trophy and so on.

06:36:02.420 --> 06:36:06.420
So they've got a presence with KDS on the wood and deep in there as well.

06:36:06.420 --> 06:36:13.140
as well. So, Fizz, they're going to have to hold on to this top area. Darkseer are able to breach

06:36:13.140 --> 06:36:18.340
that off his wall, force them back, breach the nerds. Five players' walls. Could be a big problem

06:36:18.340 --> 06:36:21.780
for them. This is why this is a cluster in our side, it's a really smart idea. We know that

06:36:21.780 --> 06:36:25.700
Biddicom plays it a lot already, but you know, again, the tempo switch has been a big issue.

06:36:25.700 --> 06:36:30.020
If you can slow down Darkseer as a fact, if you can keep the Blackbeard at bay because of the constant

06:36:30.020 --> 06:36:33.620
shield break that comes on through, then the Nalva seems to try and exploit at the same time.

06:36:33.620 --> 06:36:35.620
Look at him, he's got a little boogie out there Tim.

06:36:35.620 --> 06:36:38.260
And sure enough, Andy's there for the step around.

06:36:38.260 --> 06:36:40.100
Great bit of play out of phase.

06:36:40.100 --> 06:36:42.420
But the plan is going down.

06:36:42.420 --> 06:36:44.820
Unbelievable stuff, are they going to get away with it?

06:36:44.820 --> 06:36:48.100
Folks, I think the real security is losing the Blackbeard.

06:36:48.100 --> 06:36:50.180
Really not the end of the world.

06:36:50.180 --> 06:36:53.860
This took their eye off the ball while they were focusing on that shield.

06:36:53.860 --> 06:36:56.980
So, managers to take down J9O, but DarkZero.

06:36:56.980 --> 06:37:02.260
They've had a good 15 seconds here to get themselves into post plant positions.

06:37:02.260 --> 06:37:09.220
false hole. Wow! Neuers finds KDA. DarkZero absolutely punishing the Brazilian right now.

06:37:09.220 --> 06:37:14.820
And now the last two. This is absolutely beautiful. Seeds coming out. Down to a two versus two.

06:37:14.820 --> 06:37:19.220
Handy runs again. He's left in a big clutch situation. Neuers removes him.

06:37:19.220 --> 06:37:22.500
Cyber, nowhere near enough. DarkZero left against two here.

06:37:22.500 --> 06:37:28.660
Nine kills between Neuers and NCR. He made a sensitive foul to kill, but it wouldn't have mattered.

06:37:28.660 --> 06:37:34.740
There was no time left, once again, dark zero, break phase apart after attack timeout.

06:37:34.740 --> 06:37:37.220
And such an important round to do so.

06:37:37.220 --> 06:37:41.220
After the FaceTimeout, DZ still brought it back and managed to get the plant down

06:37:41.220 --> 06:37:47.300
and win in the disadvantaged situation. We saw Kino up top on the Blackbeard,

06:37:47.300 --> 06:37:51.780
pulling the clash, pulling the smoke up top. I was thinking, where are his teammates?

06:37:51.780 --> 06:37:53.300
They're on site getting the plant down.

06:37:53.300 --> 06:38:00.060
That band that comes on through, the Thorn, I think it's DZ saying they're rattled.

06:38:00.060 --> 06:38:01.380
They can't deal with this pace.

06:38:01.380 --> 06:38:03.260
How do we make it go that little bit quicker?

06:38:03.260 --> 06:38:06.900
Let's take away one of the main track operators you commonly see on the other side.

06:38:06.900 --> 06:38:10.340
It does leave things on the patch up, but as they've shown, they're actually using the

06:38:10.340 --> 06:38:11.340
class against Bayes there.

06:38:11.340 --> 06:38:13.340
It's all a distraction tactic.

06:38:13.340 --> 06:38:17.620
Yeah, it's beautiful stuff so far from Darkseer, I think.

06:38:17.620 --> 06:38:22.780
You know, you look at this and we all know what Ferris's record on Shallie is like and

06:38:22.780 --> 06:38:28.140
Coming into today, you just said surely nobody wants to play phase on Chalet, surely not.

06:38:28.140 --> 06:38:31.900
But Dark Zero are so clearly prepared.

06:38:31.900 --> 06:38:35.020
It's like they've learned a game of chicken here.

06:38:35.020 --> 06:38:38.580
They've come in and said, no, no, we're going to take you to Chalet

06:38:38.580 --> 06:38:42.060
because we are certain that we are prepared to do that.

06:38:42.060 --> 06:38:45.980
Is this the first time we have seen face battle in a long time?

06:38:45.980 --> 06:38:47.700
It feels like it, doesn't it?

06:38:47.700 --> 06:38:49.780
It's crazy. I had a chat to Hanley before the event

06:38:49.780 --> 06:38:51.660
and said there's that classic curse word, Tim.

06:38:51.660 --> 06:38:57.660
A team, a team, a team could probably win our side as well, but a team wins our side and the next event they fall flat.

06:38:57.660 --> 06:39:01.660
We don't really see them rise up for the rest of the year, W7M maybe being one of those exceptions.

06:39:01.660 --> 06:39:09.660
How are you going to break that curse? And he was like, we can see him, we're focused, we're locked in, we're going to do what we've always done, we'll keep on playing the same scene you've always played.

06:39:09.660 --> 06:39:14.660
May well start to feel like DarkZero are finding an answer, but I will say what I'll say.

06:39:14.660 --> 06:39:20.660
At least once we're broadcast, there are two halves to a game of seed, when FaZe get on the attack, we can see this become a very different game.

06:39:20.660 --> 06:39:24.460
the 4-2 to DZ would feel fantastic, they could get better.

06:39:24.460 --> 06:39:26.900
I'll tell you something else that might just be exciting,

06:39:26.900 --> 06:39:28.380
not just to North American fans,

06:39:28.380 --> 06:39:30.220
but to everybody here in Saltwick,

06:39:30.220 --> 06:39:33.980
and that is the phase they almost always lose

06:39:33.980 --> 06:39:36.260
to the winners' desk, one way or another.

06:39:36.260 --> 06:39:40.500
It is a unbelievably fantastic NJR.

06:39:40.500 --> 06:39:42.980
He just keeps delivering more.

06:39:42.980 --> 06:39:45.540
I asked for it, and he's gone seven and all.

06:39:45.540 --> 06:39:47.740
I think he might have heard me.

06:39:47.740 --> 06:39:49.340
It's not the fastest person,

06:39:49.340 --> 06:39:53.880
The cast is blessed in this situation as the Castle Barricades get opened.

06:39:53.880 --> 06:39:58.580
Great one tap to start off the run, and it's the smoke that has been taken out.

06:39:58.580 --> 06:40:02.180
They will not be able to know the plan, which means they have to get more aggressive,

06:40:02.180 --> 06:40:04.580
but DZ look like they are ready for it.

06:40:05.080 --> 06:40:09.080
I'd say they just look like everything is going against FaZe that possibly could.

06:40:09.080 --> 06:40:11.080
Cyber's also down a half.

06:40:11.080 --> 06:40:13.080
Patience being shown by DZ.

06:40:13.080 --> 06:40:15.380
It's always what we saw coming out of FaZe back on Bank.

06:40:15.380 --> 06:40:16.880
He's just sitting on weight-drying force.

06:40:16.880 --> 06:40:22.000
Easy to move into you and they punish them off the back of it. It is very much the same souls knows

06:40:24.000 --> 06:40:28.520
A few toe shots we all have a few of them down to low HP cyber also now

06:40:32.400 --> 06:40:36.520
The world champion sees are on the ropes right now

06:40:37.080 --> 06:40:44.480
Dark zero just hit them with body blow after body blow and it's a matter of time until that knockout punch comes in

06:40:44.480 --> 06:40:50.140
Plank goes down again, soles, he may be a clutch guard, but surely not here.

06:40:50.140 --> 06:40:55.380
He is low health, he is 1v4, he is face to face with a white beard.

06:40:55.380 --> 06:41:00.780
The time is ticking down, so little that he can do, and I love this from Kino.

06:41:00.780 --> 06:41:05.380
He's just holding him at a distance, he might lose his leg, but he's won the war!

06:41:05.380 --> 06:41:08.080
And that's another round for Dark Nero!

06:41:08.080 --> 06:41:15.080
What can phase possibly do?

06:41:15.080 --> 06:41:18.080
They're trying to get more aggressive, but DZ are ready for it.

06:41:28.080 --> 06:41:31.080
Just in case there's any question on who Salt Lake City are behind here,

06:41:31.080 --> 06:41:37.080
they want to see Dark Zero versus Shopify Rebellion tomorrow in that grand final.

06:41:37.080 --> 06:41:39.080
NA versus NA.

06:41:39.080 --> 06:41:41.080
Off NA soil.

06:41:41.080 --> 06:41:44.080
You could not ask for a better story,

06:41:44.080 --> 06:41:47.080
but then the big question comes, who wins tomorrow?

06:41:47.080 --> 06:41:49.080
That's going to split the crowd.

06:41:49.080 --> 06:41:53.080
Yeah, there's definitely going to be some split loyalties there, I think,

06:41:53.080 --> 06:41:57.080
but there will be many of the fans here that will just be happy to see

06:41:57.080 --> 06:41:59.080
somebody on home soil get the job done.

06:41:59.080 --> 06:42:03.080
Dog Zero, quite frankly, look phenomenal right now.

06:42:03.080 --> 06:42:10.080
They have found the exact right moment to hit form, to hit that pace, and to start running over FaZe.

06:42:10.080 --> 06:42:16.080
And the big thing here is, we don't often see FaZe with their backs to the wall like this, Mike.

06:42:16.080 --> 06:42:20.080
You know, the big question here is, how are they going to respond?

06:42:20.080 --> 06:42:27.080
I just think we need some individuals to step up. You know, Cyber one kill, KDs one kill, Vita kill, Vita kill, one kill.

06:42:27.080 --> 06:42:34.280
kill. We have NJR on 8, NJR on 7. We need someone on face to step up to get them back into this game.

06:42:35.080 --> 06:42:40.840
There's nowhere near at this point. As you point it out, NJR nearly out as many kills. In fact, now he does.

06:42:40.840 --> 06:42:47.800
NJR has the same number of kills as all of FaZe combined. This isn't even like a good match for DarkZero.

06:42:47.800 --> 06:42:52.600
This is outright disruption. This mantleman, as they're fine too.

06:42:52.600 --> 06:42:55.880
Handi gives FaZe a little bit of respite in the round.

06:42:55.880 --> 06:42:58.600
This is only 40 seconds in and three players are gone.

06:42:58.600 --> 06:43:01.600
I don't think FaZe will be able to do much here in the 3v4

06:43:01.600 --> 06:43:03.680
as Enja is also sneaking up.

06:43:03.680 --> 06:43:05.680
Now he's just starting to stop it.

06:43:05.680 --> 06:43:08.680
We're just going to have to see, DZ, what is going to be the next target?

06:43:08.680 --> 06:43:10.120
Where is N'Gath?

06:43:11.320 --> 06:43:14.320
Sentry going to be picked up by the DMO scan.

06:43:14.320 --> 06:43:17.200
Handi, they'll know his location now.

06:43:17.200 --> 06:43:19.480
It's going to have stopped, but it doesn't matter

06:43:19.480 --> 06:43:27.480
Because everything for face here is getting more and more difficult and I don't think it's just about what Dark Zero is doing inside of the server.

06:43:27.480 --> 06:43:36.480
It's about what is going on in their minds, in their heads. They are the ones that the crowd don't want to see in the final.

06:43:36.480 --> 06:43:44.480
They're backing Dark Zero here. Every kill is accompanied by cheers and there is another one new as manager of Iron Vitaking.

06:43:44.480 --> 06:43:47.480
That's the pull scum. Such a loss of Intel Mag.

06:43:47.480 --> 06:43:52.160
This feels a bit like this one, it's already a 4-told story.

06:43:52.160 --> 06:43:56.360
FaZe not playing as a team the way that we know that they can.

06:43:56.360 --> 06:44:00.800
Every kill from DarkZero, there is never a response from the other side,

06:44:00.800 --> 06:44:02.880
but FaZe will say, but what can we do?

06:44:02.880 --> 06:44:05.680
We have to play around the map, we have to contest,

06:44:05.680 --> 06:44:08.160
and the only way to do that is by spreading out.

06:44:08.160 --> 06:44:11.840
Right now, they're feeling the full weight of that damage.

06:44:11.840 --> 06:44:14.400
So, it's at least getting one back, but it's a 3v1.

06:44:14.400 --> 06:44:17.000
It's five rounds in a row.

06:44:17.000 --> 06:44:20.920
for DarkZero, not a line that I thought I'd say today.

06:44:20.920 --> 06:44:23.960
I think we've got to remember that coming into today,

06:44:23.960 --> 06:44:29.320
the record for Faze on Chalet was 10 wins and 1 loss.

06:44:29.320 --> 06:44:33.400
This is a map that they are unbelievable on normally.

06:44:33.400 --> 06:44:37.800
Normally speaking, Mike, but this is not a normal day.

06:44:37.800 --> 06:44:41.320
This is DarkZero in front of their home crowd

06:44:41.320 --> 06:44:44.360
and they right now are taking Faze apart.

06:44:44.360 --> 06:44:48.360
the world champions, piece by piece.

06:44:48.360 --> 06:44:54.360
We know FaZe are great at this map, but today DZ are saying no, this is our turn.

06:44:56.360 --> 06:44:58.360
Show them there's a chance for that one.

06:44:58.360 --> 06:45:02.360
Karthi, Karthi, Karthi, Karthi!

06:45:02.360 --> 06:45:03.360
Cathy.

06:45:14.360 --> 06:45:18.360
Store your heart about to do so for the entire crowd, I feel, Cathy,

06:45:18.360 --> 06:45:22.360
because this could be a six-zero dismantlement of phase

06:45:22.360 --> 06:45:24.360
on one of their best maps.

06:45:24.360 --> 06:45:27.360
There was a time when no team dared to want to play to be here

06:45:27.360 --> 06:45:28.360
because of their record.

06:45:28.360 --> 06:45:30.360
It's easy said that could be the deciding.

06:45:30.360 --> 06:45:33.800
They've come in with a game plan, call out on the boys behind the scenes,

06:45:33.800 --> 06:45:39.160
have been doing some insane work and they deserve it just as much as the five players in the server.

06:45:39.160 --> 06:45:43.360
These are also controlling the pace of the game the whole time.

06:45:43.360 --> 06:45:47.360
They're starting with the fast players, they're stopping the gathering intel in the mid-round

06:45:47.360 --> 06:45:50.360
and they are doing some brilliant executes at the end.

06:45:50.360 --> 06:45:54.360
As again, we start off with Kino throwing some yings into solo-side.

06:45:54.360 --> 06:45:56.360
We have Goliath, we have F.

06:45:56.360 --> 06:45:59.840
Well, the date, I think, or anything else, because it happens you're up to him just yet.

06:45:59.840 --> 06:46:00.840
I say that!

06:46:00.840 --> 06:46:03.840
Let's start their march on through, but the trade is there.

06:46:03.840 --> 06:46:08.600
Again, from outside, there is always someone on dark zero ready to trade off a teammate.

06:46:08.600 --> 06:46:10.080
It's got the same on the other side.

06:46:10.080 --> 06:46:12.080
NJR is 12 and zero!

06:46:12.080 --> 06:46:13.080
He wants to take away!

06:46:13.080 --> 06:46:14.080
That's 21-1!

06:46:14.080 --> 06:46:16.080
That's what we saw from Ambio, cursed him!

06:46:16.080 --> 06:46:17.080
He's 12-1 now!

06:46:17.080 --> 06:46:18.080
But you know what?

06:46:18.080 --> 06:46:19.080
You'll take it!

06:46:19.080 --> 06:46:20.080
A 2v2, now down to a 2v1.

06:46:20.080 --> 06:46:25.080
Cyber looked rattled earlier, and now he's gonna win it!

06:46:25.080 --> 06:46:29.840
One, one left on towards Solar. Kino has got one HP to his name.

06:46:29.840 --> 06:46:33.080
He could wrap up a perfect 6-0 half.

06:46:33.080 --> 06:46:36.880
It will be a 4K for Cyber if he does it, and my gosh, what a shot.

06:46:36.880 --> 06:46:40.280
On to the upside down, Repelfuls won't know what hit him.

06:46:40.280 --> 06:46:42.920
Kino, can he get the job done? He's got diffuser in hand.

06:46:42.920 --> 06:46:45.880
He's got an age of timeless available to him.

06:46:45.880 --> 06:46:49.240
That's not ideal. Losers a little bit of utility there,

06:46:49.240 --> 06:46:52.640
as the smart canister just bounces off that debris.

06:46:52.640 --> 06:46:57.160
And if anybody on the defence is going to play this perfectly, you know it's Cyber.

06:46:57.160 --> 06:47:00.640
He's not going to panic here. He's going to wait for his moment.

06:47:01.920 --> 06:47:06.080
Banner has only got one HP to his name, Cyber, about 50.

06:47:06.960 --> 06:47:08.640
A close quarters engagement.

06:47:08.640 --> 06:47:12.840
Could favour Kino here as he decides to wait.

06:47:12.840 --> 06:47:16.400
There is one minute and 15 seconds remaining as Kino starts to get the plant down.

06:47:16.400 --> 06:47:19.480
Cyber decides to push up. He goes to the bathroom, gets off the plant for the bait.

06:47:19.480 --> 06:47:19.920
Oh.

06:47:19.920 --> 06:47:21.320
And not find the shot.

06:47:21.320 --> 06:47:23.600
Like you say, he's playing with the shocker, he's playing close here,

06:47:23.600 --> 06:47:25.920
Cyber wants to try to get a little bit of distance,

06:47:25.920 --> 06:47:27.640
and Kino finds it!

06:47:27.640 --> 06:47:29.400
Because of course he does!

06:47:46.520 --> 06:47:49.760
Kino jumps to his feet at the end of that round,

06:47:49.760 --> 06:47:56.360
and the rest of the Salt Palace joining every DarkZero fan in the building on their feet

06:47:56.360 --> 06:48:00.760
along with him, chanting cheering because there you go!

06:48:00.760 --> 06:48:05.040
What is happening there's 6-0!

06:48:05.040 --> 06:48:08.360
One more round puts DarkZero in the grand final.

06:48:08.360 --> 06:48:12.440
A blessing you would say for FaZe has now got the half-time time out.

06:48:12.440 --> 06:48:19.080
They've got to recover this, they've got to win six rounds in a row to get to just OT,

06:48:19.080 --> 06:48:22.800
Even to win the map and make it to the final it feels like it could be done

06:48:22.800 --> 06:48:28.100
Well phase have been in a certain dance before too. They know what heartbreak tastes like

06:48:28.440 --> 06:48:32.960
And they could be about to get it in the cruelest way possible a team full of

06:48:33.640 --> 06:48:41.360
Legendary accomplishments are going to need to find one of their biggest moments of all and that is fighting back

06:48:42.520 --> 06:48:44.840
Phase are wrecked right now. They are right

06:48:49.080 --> 06:48:52.560
We go into the spots, like pretty much the mirror spots bro, and then we just hammer.

06:48:52.960 --> 06:48:53.960
Where are we going first?

06:48:53.960 --> 06:48:54.960
We're going master 41.

06:48:55.960 --> 06:48:58.960
I think this time we can hit the 4 screens.

06:48:58.960 --> 06:49:01.960
We'll do that at 15, get your strats up hold up.

06:49:03.460 --> 06:49:04.460
At least I just do base.

06:49:04.460 --> 06:49:05.960
Just do base, yeah, just do base.

06:49:05.960 --> 06:49:07.460
He said up from the bar too.

06:49:07.460 --> 06:49:14.460
Yeah, he said the bar we are doing. Yeah, we can't do prep, he said. He said base is gone now, so it's like asking him.

06:49:14.460 --> 06:49:15.460
For that.

06:49:15.460 --> 06:49:16.460
I'm asking him.

06:49:16.460 --> 06:49:18.460
So, let's pay attention to the backs that are open.

06:49:18.460 --> 06:49:20.460
If you know what you're going to do in the future.

06:49:20.460 --> 06:49:21.460
Thank you.

06:49:21.460 --> 06:49:22.460
I'm already done.

06:49:22.460 --> 06:49:24.460
Passing Black, let's go to Black.

06:49:24.460 --> 06:49:29.460
We can do the same thing with this one, which is the one with the most points now, which we haven't done in a while.

06:49:29.460 --> 06:49:39.460
I don't know, I don't know, but I don't know that they're going to try to get the focus, so I need to have a good guy to get the focus, or at least I'll have to control this program there.

06:49:39.460 --> 06:49:45.460
I know all their moves, they like to have a lot of kitchen, and the kitchen is not the point of 4-1. Let's go?

06:49:45.460 --> 06:49:47.460
Let's go, let's go.

06:49:48.460 --> 06:49:50.460
I don't remember that I want to go.

06:49:59.460 --> 06:50:08.580
regional matchup. Raleigh was G2 versus Empire. Shala, DZ versus Astralis. Alanta was W7M versus

06:50:08.580 --> 06:50:15.220
Los. And this here in Salt Lake City looks to be Shopify rebellion against Dark Zero.

06:50:16.500 --> 06:50:22.260
They've got to do one more round. Just one more round, Tim. And they will bring down the reigning

06:50:22.260 --> 06:50:26.820
world champions. But he doubted them coming into this series. But after this, you could see how

06:50:26.820 --> 06:50:32.500
they could go the whole way. Mike, in this situation, how easy is it within a team to

06:50:32.500 --> 06:50:39.060
maybe get a little bit overconfident and start to see that lead suck away? It's easy to get

06:50:39.060 --> 06:50:45.060
ever confident, but when the crowd is on your side like this and you have up six, a few mistakes

06:50:45.060 --> 06:50:52.020
are fine because once FaZe makes the smallest mistake, they are done for. Wow, wow, wow.

06:50:52.020 --> 06:50:58.540
The attack inside for FaZe, nothing short of perfection is acceptable.

06:50:58.540 --> 06:51:04.660
I can only imagine there is a little scrambling going on during the halftime timeout to get

06:51:04.660 --> 06:51:06.980
the boys remodelled to make them ready to go.

06:51:06.980 --> 06:51:10.780
We always hear team shade, it's just one more round at a time.

06:51:10.780 --> 06:51:14.700
Forget about the score at the top of your screen, but you and your boys will know this

06:51:14.700 --> 06:51:15.700
too well.

06:51:15.700 --> 06:51:17.700
You can't ignore a score line like that.

06:51:17.700 --> 06:51:21.700
Absolutely not. It is, you know, 6-0 for DarkZero.

06:51:21.700 --> 06:51:24.420
This team has only been around for a couple of months.

06:51:24.420 --> 06:51:26.700
Four of the members of MayChams have called out,

06:51:26.700 --> 06:51:31.700
and they are 6-0 up against two-time SI champs, Faze.

06:51:34.700 --> 06:51:37.700
OK, let's see what Faze can do on the attack.

06:51:37.700 --> 06:51:40.700
We know that Shale is a map for the attackers.

06:51:40.700 --> 06:51:42.700
Certainly don't mind.

06:51:42.700 --> 06:51:46.700
Faze, 10-1 coming into this game, their record on Shale.

06:51:46.700 --> 06:51:54.700
There are rounds available for them here, but confidence and just sheer weight of support

06:51:54.700 --> 06:51:58.700
carrying DZ at the minute because they are looking at the electric.

06:51:58.700 --> 06:52:03.700
Twitch Trump is going to go into library, just checking out exactly what the situation is

06:52:03.700 --> 06:52:06.700
before they push forward, but I love this from Dark Zero.

06:52:06.700 --> 06:52:12.700
On the defense, meeting them at the boundaries might not giving them anything easily.

06:52:12.700 --> 06:52:16.540
You see, will my also have the impacts here ready for any shield play who wants to do it?

06:52:16.540 --> 06:52:22.940
Smoke babes come out, grenade's come out as unfortunately, J9O gets taken out first by Handy on the Blackbeard.

06:52:23.780 --> 06:52:27.540
First one to pull, looking for a second, there's also a skin capino, hit the deck.

06:52:27.540 --> 06:52:31.540
Sol's almost going down, some nades he ran on through on the back and that one, Cyber will fall.

06:52:31.540 --> 06:52:35.100
And out to 4v2 for FaZe, I'll come back to what I said in that first half.

06:52:35.100 --> 06:52:39.780
There are two halves through the game of Siege, but there's a lot of pressure on FaZe to be perfect.

06:52:39.780 --> 06:52:44.380
Fultz finding one back, NJR, who's 12-1 with a chance to clutch up.

06:52:44.380 --> 06:52:47.980
Solz down to no HP, did a king on the bar to save.

06:52:47.980 --> 06:52:51.980
She forgot to find kills on this map, but Solz finds his man in phase.

06:52:51.980 --> 06:52:54.980
Finally, gets a round on Chalet.

06:52:54.980 --> 06:52:58.780
Faze not even really needing to get too close to the site there, Mark.

06:52:58.780 --> 06:53:00.980
They just managed to pick them apart.

06:53:00.980 --> 06:53:06.780
Absolutely, and honestly, wouldn't be too disappointed with that round from DarkZero.

06:53:06.780 --> 06:53:14.500
They still have five more rounds to close it out. Oh man. Well, I can't have a win six in a row right number comes down every time though

06:53:14.500 --> 06:53:22.440
Doesn't it it does the pressure will get even higher for doctor as they if they start to lose round by round whereas phase

06:53:23.300 --> 06:53:25.460
They're about there at to lose anyway. They got nothing to lose

06:53:25.860 --> 06:53:29.260
It's about easy lock it in and playing to win

06:53:30.060 --> 06:53:35.300
Instead of playing not to lose that is the most important thing easy can do right now

06:53:36.780 --> 06:53:43.140
are gaming for round eight in a way I kind of want to see us head down to

06:53:43.140 --> 06:53:46.540
Aston because this team from both teams the strap has been in trying to be

06:53:46.540 --> 06:53:49.780
aggressive around the map it's been always these external trades coming out

06:53:49.780 --> 06:53:53.780
of darks here in that first half and phase then it was a similar story lots of

06:53:53.780 --> 06:53:58.140
pressure onto isolated players on Cronus there's a little bit of a different

06:53:58.140 --> 06:54:02.260
taste to this game that's not gonna be the case at least for round eight more

06:54:02.260 --> 06:54:05.780
Roman coming out with the pitch alongside the newest surely not since

06:54:05.780 --> 06:54:10.420
Longpeak being considered by Monty Vigil. Hey, Margin. Margin want to start that

06:54:10.420 --> 06:54:14.180
would give him Margin the Roar. But we go up in this bit. I also I've got a

06:54:14.180 --> 06:54:17.660
South Knot. It's quite a lot of dark zero using the stars and shrunk skin as well.

06:54:17.660 --> 06:54:24.320
A nice little perch. I love it. You know what it means to the region? To guarantee that there is a North American

06:54:24.320 --> 06:54:28.900
major winner to be standing on that stage tomorrow night. But apparently be

06:54:28.900 --> 06:54:32.900
and as we said it probably is going to split the crowd as to which way it goes.

06:54:32.900 --> 06:54:35.900
We'll find out more about that a little bit later on.

06:54:35.900 --> 06:54:39.900
Interestingly enough NJR has brought the Tachanka.

06:54:39.900 --> 06:54:42.900
Obviously if FaZe want to go for the side rush it won't be EMPed.

06:54:42.900 --> 06:54:45.900
Actually that's the boss G on yours.

06:54:45.900 --> 06:54:47.900
Can he find the pick out?

06:54:47.900 --> 06:54:49.900
He's thinking about it. I suggested that he might be,

06:54:49.900 --> 06:54:52.900
but it happened that we saw the drone that was also inside a bedroom.

06:54:52.900 --> 06:54:56.900
It saw those stripes around the screen that suggests that it was nearby.

06:54:56.900 --> 06:55:01.300
how early it was. I think you kind of know what you're walking into. We can hear that drop of the

06:55:01.300 --> 06:55:06.340
call just ringing out as well. He's wanting to get this clearance underway, getting aggressive.

06:55:06.340 --> 06:55:10.580
Has to drop away their KDS. He knew the pressure was mounting, but can you know that he's going to

06:55:10.580 --> 06:55:16.180
be downed and then finished off by Vita King. So, five versus four as FaZe get themselves their

06:55:16.180 --> 06:55:22.820
second entry in a row on the attack. Dark zero again, fighting from behind. J9O gonna take

06:55:22.820 --> 06:55:29.220
damage as well here just got them on the back foot here phase dark zero a shifting quickly to try

06:55:29.220 --> 06:55:34.660
and just reposition and regain some strength in the round we're gonna have to keep an eye out here

06:55:34.660 --> 06:55:39.540
on handy who might just come up the basement stairs at the perfect time his teammates are

06:55:39.540 --> 06:55:45.060
sweeping across the map this basement fight between faults and handy might just decide around the

06:55:45.060 --> 06:55:49.060
tag soloist a couple of times now with the game I think very aware that faults is the one that could

06:55:49.060 --> 06:55:52.740
be a bit of a nuisance to them given these downstairs and now they may have to send someone

06:55:52.740 --> 06:55:56.660
one after him. Handy, the one who's skulking down here, seeing what he can do.

06:55:56.660 --> 06:56:00.100
Can he pick out the soul? It's coming off towards his right, base on towards the right

06:56:00.100 --> 06:56:04.020
hand side surely. Now at this point, he's got an idea as to where Handy is. It's a 2v1

06:56:04.020 --> 06:56:07.620
though again, a good bit of play. Coming out from Dark Zero, it secures the trade, but

06:56:07.620 --> 06:56:12.380
it's another 4v2 for FaZe. Unfortunately for Dark Zero, Handy manages to get one before

06:56:12.380 --> 06:56:18.060
he dies, and now 2v4 for Dark Zero. What can Falster on the stairs? The next pick might

06:56:18.060 --> 06:56:21.740
just decide this round it is six to one versus FaZe.

06:56:23.500 --> 06:56:26.140
Need to be careful here as NJR gets one.

06:56:26.140 --> 06:56:27.340
Can he find another?

06:56:27.340 --> 06:56:28.340
Yes he can!

06:56:28.340 --> 06:56:29.540
He's got two faults!

06:56:29.540 --> 06:56:30.860
It's getting a two fault!

06:56:30.860 --> 06:56:32.500
This could be the moment, Dez!

06:56:32.500 --> 06:56:34.100
It's two versus what now?

06:56:34.100 --> 06:56:37.380
As DarkZero has swung around back in their favor!

06:56:37.380 --> 06:56:40.300
Solz often desired to be the best clutcher in the world

06:56:40.300 --> 06:56:42.620
but NJR are 15 and two.

06:56:42.620 --> 06:56:45.900
Faults at 8 and 4 is a lot to overcome.

06:56:45.900 --> 06:56:50.900
Wampire will decide it, and TNT leads the show on their spot

06:56:50.900 --> 06:56:53.900
into some leg-city major, Red Wiggles.

06:57:01.900 --> 06:57:07.900
What a performance from Dark Zero to get that one over the line.

06:57:07.900 --> 06:57:10.900
Faze stood no chance on Shallowith,

06:57:10.900 --> 06:57:17.660
And it is mostly thanks to that man, NJR, quiet, coming into that mark.

06:57:17.660 --> 06:57:21.980
16 and 2 at the end of his death.

06:57:21.980 --> 06:57:24.260
After what, eight rounds?

06:57:24.260 --> 06:57:27.540
Absolutely magnificent.

06:57:27.540 --> 06:57:29.940
Picking off, magnificent, magnificent.

06:57:29.940 --> 06:57:33.500
The force on that series, that was spectacular.

06:57:33.500 --> 06:57:38.780
Great close maps, and just phase 11 and 1 on Chalet, coming into that series.

06:57:38.780 --> 06:57:41.780
And DZ said no. This is our map now.

06:57:41.780 --> 06:57:44.780
NJL said no. This is my grand final.

06:57:44.780 --> 06:57:46.780
I'm going to be the one to make it there.

06:57:46.780 --> 06:57:49.780
Look at this response from the crowd here in Salt Lake City.

06:57:49.780 --> 06:57:53.780
Absolutely loving their North American teams, honestly.

06:57:53.780 --> 06:57:57.780
I have rarely seen support like it at our events.

06:57:57.780 --> 06:58:01.780
It has been phenomenal. The crowd really delivering for their teams.

06:58:01.780 --> 06:58:03.780
Tomorrow is going to be a phenomenal game,

06:58:03.780 --> 06:58:06.780
especially off the back of Team Magnificent's series today.

06:58:06.780 --> 06:58:10.780
Let's go to win on the stage and stand by for an interview.

06:58:10.780 --> 06:58:17.780
Salt Lake City, your grand finalist for tomorrow night,

06:58:17.780 --> 06:58:19.780
Dag Zero!

06:58:19.780 --> 06:58:21.780
CHEERING

06:58:23.780 --> 06:58:30.780
But, brother, you just absolutely cooked the world champs

06:58:30.780 --> 06:58:33.780
to book your spot in the grand final.

06:58:33.780 --> 06:58:36.220
That must feel like quite the statement, Wynne.

06:58:36.220 --> 06:58:39.740
Yeah, I mean, my favorite part, honestly, is that last map.

06:58:39.740 --> 06:58:42.100
Like, we were all just so in the moment,

06:58:42.100 --> 06:58:47.100
just living where our feet were and not letting the moment get bigger than it needed to be.

06:58:47.100 --> 06:58:51.780
And, yeah, we were just a bunch of guys having some fun, and I'm super grateful for that.

06:58:51.780 --> 06:58:56.940
It looks like a bunch of guys having some fun, and it looks like from the word go on, Chalet,

06:58:56.940 --> 06:58:58.220
they were shook.

06:58:58.220 --> 06:59:00.500
Did you feel like they were rattled as a team?

06:59:00.500 --> 06:59:05.500
Yeah, which surprises me, just because I feel like they've been in some very big scenarios.

06:59:05.500 --> 06:59:11.500
But in the middle of that game, you know, we were saying some things I can't say now, but they were shaking.

06:59:11.500 --> 06:59:13.500
Can we get a little sample of what you were saying?

06:59:13.500 --> 06:59:17.500
Uh, like loading their pants.

06:59:20.500 --> 06:59:22.500
I like that censored version.

06:59:22.500 --> 06:59:26.500
But as the IGL, you must be so impressed and pleased with this team.

06:59:26.500 --> 06:59:29.500
NJ Aaron in particular, a demon.

06:59:29.500 --> 06:59:35.020
Absolute gaming. I mean, I would call him some names when I was playing against him, you know the mailbox

06:59:35.900 --> 06:59:39.020
Etc, but having a guy like that on your team is amazing

06:59:39.420 --> 06:59:40.220
Yeah

06:59:40.220 --> 06:59:49.340
Well, one thing that i'm sure that this crowds finds amazing is the fact that we've got an all north american grand final here in this arena

06:59:50.220 --> 06:59:52.060
tomorrow

06:59:52.060 --> 06:59:54.780
Final thoughts on your opponent in rebellion

06:59:56.220 --> 06:59:57.500
uh

06:59:57.500 --> 07:00:03.260
I mean, I think the years have spoken for themselves with this match-up, so...

07:00:03.260 --> 07:00:09.660
They've built quite the narrative about us, and I'll let that narrative do whatever it wants inside their heads tonight,

07:00:09.660 --> 07:00:12.540
as they go to bed thinking about who they got to play, so...

07:00:12.540 --> 07:00:17.740
Love that. Congratulations once again. Salt Lake, give it up one more time for Dyke Zero!

07:00:17.740 --> 07:00:26.220
We'll be picking it all apart and discussing everything that just went down on the desk after a short break. Do not go anywhere.

07:06:27.500 --> 07:06:37.400
Take a look at these scenes, DarkZera booking in their spot in the grand final here at the Salt Lake City Major.

07:06:37.400 --> 07:06:43.160
They're absolutely peppered the world champions FaZe Clan here at the Salt Palace,

07:06:43.160 --> 07:06:46.660
and it was a shock to the system for the Brazilians.

07:06:46.660 --> 07:06:53.320
I'm going to be interested to see how they will recover from a loss that deep on map 3.

07:06:53.320 --> 07:07:01.320
Wow, Lex. If there's going to be any team in the planet that is going to be brazen enough to challenge the world champions,

07:07:01.320 --> 07:07:07.920
take them to their favorite map and let their nuts hang, it is going to be Darkseal every single time.

07:07:07.920 --> 07:07:14.520
I mean, we didn't think it was possible going on the Chalet, but we also couldn't believe it when they beat them on banks so definitively

07:07:14.520 --> 07:07:22.220
that once we got to map three Chalet every single round, every aspect was going in their favor, was so calculated and so smart.

07:07:22.220 --> 07:07:26.860
not just dumb luck, them being able to take advantage of the site when Faze left it wide open,

07:07:26.860 --> 07:07:31.100
handling the overaggression. When they go to hit the site, every single moment they were using

07:07:31.100 --> 07:07:37.660
Gain, Blast, Kino's ability in this 1v1, only he could get a shotgun shot from that far. It was such

07:07:37.660 --> 07:07:42.700
a beautiful display of domination of dark zero. They were showing so much innovation, it was

07:07:42.700 --> 07:07:47.180
beautiful start to finish. We heard from Foles talk about they were living in the moment and I

07:07:47.180 --> 07:07:51.380
I think that scoreline 7-1 really showcases everyone was living in the moment.

07:07:51.380 --> 07:07:54.680
I mean, NJR, he was an absolute thief in the night.

07:07:54.680 --> 07:07:58.480
We said he was a mailbox, but was how elusive he was moving around.

07:07:58.480 --> 07:08:01.420
No one on face could keep clamps on him.

07:08:01.420 --> 07:08:06.620
I'll tell you what, have we ever, ever seen FaZe Clan shook?

07:08:06.620 --> 07:08:10.420
Have we ever seen them rattle in that manner, folks?

07:08:10.420 --> 07:08:11.780
I don't think I've ever seen it.

07:08:11.780 --> 07:08:15.340
And I've seen them many times at many different events of the previous years.

07:08:15.340 --> 07:08:18.540
I mean, I've never seen FaZe Clan that upset.

07:08:18.540 --> 07:08:22.700
Even when they were losing that game 6-1 in South Paolo to Fury,

07:08:22.700 --> 07:08:24.620
I've never seen them that frustrated.

07:08:24.620 --> 07:08:28.380
It was just, oh, wow, these exciting heads here.

07:08:28.380 --> 07:08:30.380
That's what happens when you beat FaZe Clan.

07:08:30.380 --> 07:08:33.860
You stop what you're doing, and you sound a man's doom.

07:08:33.860 --> 07:08:37.540
That's the life of an outranbo-sixth celebrity, Lex.

07:08:37.540 --> 07:08:39.140
It absolutely is, and I'm sure they're

07:08:39.140 --> 07:08:40.940
living in the moment feeding off that energy.

07:08:40.940 --> 07:08:43.220
Like I said, there's nothing like an NA crowd,

07:08:43.220 --> 07:08:50.660
And it's no doubt and no surprise that they were being fed everything that they possibly could want to to be in this moment to live in this moment.

07:08:50.740 --> 07:08:53.180
And for the fans here, I mean, they got quite the show.

07:08:53.380 --> 07:08:54.100
And what a moment.

07:08:54.100 --> 07:08:57.980
What a moment to be able to win in front of a North American crowd in front of your own family.

07:08:58.180 --> 07:09:02.500
I believe, you know, we were interviewing they said Newers is grandmother, but I'm pretty sure that was his sister.

07:09:02.820 --> 07:09:04.500
She looked way too good to be a grandmother.

07:09:04.500 --> 07:09:09.780
So that being said, to have that energy to be able to do it, to send it to an all North American final.

07:09:10.140 --> 07:09:12.060
It's something that I hope you came through.

07:09:12.060 --> 07:09:18.280
It's something that has it's written in the storylines. I mean now we're gonna have Canadian against his previous organization

07:09:18.280 --> 07:09:21.740
But it would have written a script better the team you want to measure with in Charlotte

07:09:21.740 --> 07:09:26.400
But listen we got distracted because the guy was getting his head sand. Let's talk about phase being shook

07:09:26.400 --> 07:09:30.560
I really want to highlight this because there was like scenes in particular from cyber

07:09:30.560 --> 07:09:36.920
Yeah, it was normally called as ice and he was looking upset. I mean, we've never seen phase this upset let alone cyber

07:09:36.920 --> 07:09:39.220
I've never expected him to be the player to let out

07:09:39.220 --> 07:09:43.140
of frustrations. Of course, if you're facing the situation and so many of these rounds,

07:09:43.140 --> 07:09:46.940
when they watch it back, they'll be kicking themselves. Oh, wow. This little plant spot

07:09:46.940 --> 07:09:51.780
from Kino caught them off guard, losing that 1v1 to him. NJR constantly moving around from

07:09:51.780 --> 07:09:56.680
outside to the canine balcony constantly. You can understand where the frustration is coming

07:09:56.680 --> 07:10:00.180
from. But at the end of the day, that was dark zero hitting those gaps, something that

07:10:00.180 --> 07:10:02.260
they've always done since the SSG days.

07:10:02.260 --> 07:10:05.380
I mean, listen, I'm going to use some of your league. I'm a little bit gobsmacked at the

07:10:05.380 --> 07:10:09.080
say at least looking at cyber I've never seen him look that

07:10:10.140 --> 07:10:13.320
Upset or dumbfounded of what's going on with the team

07:10:13.320 --> 07:10:16.080
I mean, it's not the phase that we're used to seeing but again

07:10:16.080 --> 07:10:22.000
It really does come off the backing of how well dark zero we're playing that last map in particular

07:10:22.000 --> 07:10:25.040
And I'm sure it stings a little harder when you're on the side of phase

07:10:25.040 --> 07:10:31.440
You're playing your best map that you should have the most comfort in and you looked a brand new on it

07:10:31.440 --> 07:10:34.040
Let me dig a little bit deeper into this, Fox,

07:10:34.040 --> 07:10:36.360
because we've seen them perform so well

07:10:36.360 --> 07:10:38.640
at the last three 6 Invitations.

07:10:38.640 --> 07:10:41.160
Obviously, they got pipped to the post at Sao Paulo

07:10:41.160 --> 07:10:44.200
in the most crazy manner of all time by W7M.

07:10:44.200 --> 07:10:47.000
Then they bounced back and they went two world championships

07:10:47.000 --> 07:10:48.160
back to back.

07:10:48.160 --> 07:10:51.040
Why is it that we don't necessarily see them

07:10:51.040 --> 07:10:53.760
bring that same form to majors?

07:10:53.760 --> 07:10:55.880
Is it because it's less maps played?

07:10:55.880 --> 07:10:57.960
Is it less time to grow into the tournament?

07:10:57.960 --> 07:10:59.160
What do you think the issue is?

07:10:59.160 --> 07:11:01.000
I mean, for FaZe, they said it was for legacy.

07:11:01.000 --> 07:11:05.440
They want to be able to win it. I really don't think there was anything taking away from the fact of their fire

07:11:05.440 --> 07:11:08.320
They wanted to be able to win this they tried their absolute best

07:11:08.320 --> 07:11:12.120
I mean we saw them on map one brain all the way to overtime huge plays from players

07:11:12.120 --> 07:11:18.700
I think that was something that is been a fear that they can get predictable a lot of teams were able to figure out how cyber

07:11:18.700 --> 07:11:21.920
plays that's why face spent the last year being able to put them in different positions

07:11:21.920 --> 07:11:27.580
It's just something where really don't think face could have done anything different dark zero just took complete advantage of the gap

07:11:27.580 --> 07:11:29.880
every single round and I was taking advantage of the gap.

07:11:29.880 --> 07:11:34.280
I mean, something that you also highlighted and you said when you were talking to them as bringing the cheese ops.

07:11:34.280 --> 07:11:34.580
Yes.

07:11:34.580 --> 07:11:40.380
Making sure that they could always try to catch phase off guard when that's where teams always struggles when the team is playing that picture.

07:11:40.380 --> 07:11:42.180
Perfect. It's hard to catch them off guard.

07:11:42.180 --> 07:11:45.180
But there's something you can't predict and that's being cheesy.

07:11:45.180 --> 07:11:48.680
That's bringing something to the table that makes them question what's going on.

07:11:48.680 --> 07:11:52.280
What's going to be brought to the table and then they start overstep and they start getting over.

07:11:52.280 --> 07:11:57.080
So they start losing the numbers and now they lost their campaign here at Salt Lake City.

07:11:57.080 --> 07:11:59.760
They did indeed, and Dark Zera took advantage of it.

07:11:59.760 --> 07:12:04.620
Let's take a look now at the bracket going into Championship Sundae.

07:12:04.620 --> 07:12:09.660
It is unfolded in the perfect manner for the fans here in the building.

07:12:09.660 --> 07:12:11.360
Can you believe it?

07:12:11.360 --> 07:12:14.520
With Friday and Saturday now done and dusted,

07:12:14.520 --> 07:12:16.820
we move into Championship Sundae.

07:12:16.820 --> 07:12:19.820
All-American, Dark Zera besties rebellion.

07:12:19.820 --> 07:12:21.820
What I know is going to be true.

07:12:21.820 --> 07:12:26.560
Everyone's predictions for this grand final, nobody could have predicted this.

07:12:26.560 --> 07:12:31.360
Never I couldn't have predicted this. I don't think there's a single person that could have predicted this

07:12:31.360 --> 07:12:33.920
You think it's gonna get loud in here folks. Oh, what do you think?

07:12:33.920 --> 07:12:38.160
I mean that was something the cast is we're talking about will the fans be split who are they voting for at the end of the day

07:12:38.160 --> 07:12:43.600
I think we've seen it the NA crowd just loves to be able to support somebody at the end of the day

07:12:43.600 --> 07:12:47.320
I mean we've seen them support EP we saw them support twisted minds the one teams

07:12:47.320 --> 07:12:50.860
They didn't really support was Falcons and FaZe maybe that's because they beat North America too much

07:12:50.860 --> 07:12:57.540
But at the end of the day the NA crowd just loves a great game of bloodbath and that's what I hope to see tomorrow

07:12:57.540 --> 07:13:00.100
All right, speaking of tomorrow best things first. Thank you guys

07:13:00.100 --> 07:13:02.580
I'm having the time my life working with you, but tomorrow

07:13:02.580 --> 07:13:06.480
This is where it all comes to a head here in Salt Lake City

07:13:06.580 --> 07:13:14.340
Which of our two remaining teams will reach the peak of the mountain and raise our trophy of course the grand final is up

07:13:14.340 --> 07:13:20.220
And coming we'll have a lot of fun with the show match and don't forget the live panel too. We'll see you tomorrow seeds from

07:13:20.220 --> 07:13:22.220
Thanks for watching!
