01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
I

03:30.000 --> 03:32.000
I

15:30.000 --> 15:53.180
Welcome to the PrepFace show, our weekly show, where it feels like we get to do whatever

15:53.180 --> 15:55.660
the hell we want to do here with our minigames.

15:55.660 --> 15:58.240
My name is Anne, I'll be your host for just this show.

15:58.240 --> 16:03.840
From Milosh, we are joined by two guys who apparently will already start back if you even say hi to them.

16:03.840 --> 16:05.640
We get to do what we want, that's what I like.

16:05.640 --> 16:07.640
Why did you say we get to do everything we want?

16:07.640 --> 16:09.640
Just not be in the face, as you're doing it.

16:09.640 --> 16:12.140
You're going to find out a few things later that might hurt you, but that's fine.

16:12.140 --> 16:14.140
We have Fresh, Brave, Alphama, Lexing.

16:14.140 --> 16:19.640
Guys, you've been through a few things these last few weeks with the minigames that we prepared to get through, even worse today.

16:19.640 --> 16:21.640
I don't think worse, honestly, you're here.

16:21.640 --> 16:25.140
I think you might have some more creative ideas that Milosh just couldn't seem to muster up.

16:25.140 --> 16:28.660
Wow, okay, so I thought we're gonna roast me. That's when you

16:32.340 --> 16:34.340
Tune in

16:34.820 --> 16:37.700
Sentences came out of your mouth. It's just straight up a roast. No, I can do whatever

16:38.180 --> 16:41.540
It is. I mean we're playing mini games, but you've been through a little bit

16:41.540 --> 16:45.260
Do you really think that you're gonna you're gonna come on skater today? I don't know

16:45.260 --> 16:49.780
I feel like this one feels special. I thought you know, that's did you see his EMP that he drew?

16:49.780 --> 16:52.780
Yeah, I saw that. Unfortunately, I had to read this.

16:52.780 --> 16:54.780
He talked to me a couple of times while I spent drawing.

16:54.780 --> 16:55.780
Did I draw an EMP?

16:55.780 --> 16:56.780
No, I drew the EMP.

16:56.780 --> 16:58.780
You tried to draw the button to bar off.

16:58.780 --> 17:00.780
Yeah, of course it was a button to bar off.

17:00.780 --> 17:01.780
Of course it was.

17:01.780 --> 17:02.780
Clearly.

17:02.780 --> 17:05.780
It would be a really unwise idea if we let you draw today,

17:05.780 --> 17:07.780
but we'll see what happens later.

17:07.780 --> 17:10.780
We have three mini-games in total today for our last show

17:10.780 --> 17:12.780
of the prep phase because we won't be here next week,

17:12.780 --> 17:15.780
so we'll make the most out of it with our three mini-games,

17:15.780 --> 17:17.780
starting off with higher and lower.

17:17.780 --> 17:19.040
That's the reason why you're sitting next to me,

17:19.040 --> 17:21.640
because we are working this in two duos.

17:21.640 --> 17:24.600
We have Lex and I, and we have Fresh and Alphala

17:24.600 --> 17:25.920
in a duo as well.

17:25.920 --> 17:28.320
We're gonna ask each other questions.

17:28.320 --> 17:32.120
Map related, seats related, eSports related, anything.

17:32.120 --> 17:34.080
We're gonna give them a number,

17:34.080 --> 17:35.680
and then the question for the other duo

17:35.680 --> 17:37.960
is to find out is that supposed to be higher,

17:37.960 --> 17:39.920
or is that supposed to be lower?

17:39.920 --> 17:41.800
Sounds difficult, but we'll dive right into it.

17:41.800 --> 17:43.560
I believe you two are starting.

17:43.560 --> 17:44.400
All right.

17:44.400 --> 17:45.240
We're asking a question or a lie?

17:45.240 --> 17:46.080
Go ahead.

17:46.080 --> 17:46.960
Okay, I'll ask the first question to you two.

17:46.960 --> 17:52.080
you ready how many unique number of maps have ever been played inside of

17:52.080 --> 17:58.480
pro league and the higher or lower number is 18 18 is it higher than 18 or

17:58.480 --> 18:01.080
lower than we've had a lot there's nine right now there's a few that are played

18:01.080 --> 18:05.720
in pro league yes but you had like house and yacht and yeah and you get like five

18:05.720 --> 18:13.600
seconds I think this is close to but I feel like it's I think it's lower it

18:13.600 --> 18:14.600
It was not lower.

18:14.600 --> 18:15.600
Correct.

18:15.600 --> 18:16.600
No way.

18:16.600 --> 18:18.600
Yeah, you made it close.

18:18.600 --> 18:19.600
Okay.

18:19.600 --> 18:20.600
20 different maps.

18:20.600 --> 18:21.600
Yeah.

18:21.600 --> 18:22.600
Remember House, Canal, Favela.

18:22.600 --> 18:23.600
Favela, yeah.

18:23.600 --> 18:25.600
It's been played up a lot of these maps.

18:25.600 --> 18:27.600
Well, you even forgot Plane.

18:27.600 --> 18:28.600
Of course, Plane.

18:28.600 --> 18:30.600
I mean, I mean, I guess you can't get there.

18:30.600 --> 18:31.600
Yeah.

18:31.600 --> 18:32.600
There's one in there, but yeah.

18:32.600 --> 18:35.600
I feel a little bit less about making it like really close to one.

18:35.600 --> 18:36.600
Let's go.

18:36.600 --> 18:37.600
Let's go.

18:37.600 --> 18:38.600
First map, we'll give you guys a point.

18:38.600 --> 18:39.600
We won't give ourselves a point.

18:39.600 --> 18:41.600
So, of course, I thought I was going to buy one down.

18:41.600 --> 18:45.600
First question for you guys, how many windows are there on the top floor of Consulate?

18:46.600 --> 18:47.600
Your answer is 12.

18:49.600 --> 18:50.600
It's a grapple heavy man.

18:58.600 --> 19:00.600
Is that your guy's answer?

19:01.600 --> 19:02.600
Did you go through this?

19:03.600 --> 19:04.600
It's lower than 12.

19:04.600 --> 19:06.600
I think we should take how of a question now.

19:06.600 --> 19:07.600
Should we?

19:07.600 --> 19:08.600
Yeah, it's lower than 12.

19:08.600 --> 19:09.600
The answer is 10.

19:09.600 --> 19:16.680
Yeah, so it's then so our question for you, which was our third question, but it's not our second question is how many windows are there?

19:19.240 --> 19:21.240
I can't believe we have the opportunity to pick like

19:32.360 --> 19:35.000
No way there is no way this is the

19:35.000 --> 19:36.720
All right, break it down, Leo.

19:36.720 --> 19:39.440
All right, let's count it together, all right?

19:39.440 --> 19:41.560
So we've got the yellow one, that's one, okay?

19:41.560 --> 19:43.400
We've got CEO, that's two.

19:43.400 --> 19:45.840
We've got the former connector one, that's three.

19:45.840 --> 19:47.200
The bathroom one, four.

19:47.200 --> 19:49.000
Vending one here, five.

19:49.000 --> 19:51.960
You add the coffin one, six.

19:51.960 --> 19:54.760
The three in admin, that is nine.

19:54.760 --> 19:56.800
And then the last one in paper, 10.

19:56.800 --> 19:58.560
So it was less than 12.

19:58.560 --> 20:00.440
We were right, but we also both thought

20:00.440 --> 20:03.040
of the same exact question on the same exact floor,

20:03.040 --> 20:06.000
on the same exact map without coordinating, which is insane.

20:06.000 --> 20:07.000
That's the EML synergy.

20:07.000 --> 20:07.500
Yeah.

20:07.500 --> 20:08.720
I feel like Neo just wants to show off

20:08.720 --> 20:09.800
like a telestrator as well.

20:09.800 --> 20:11.760
We just want to take care of it.

20:11.760 --> 20:13.380
Any reasons for me to find out which

20:13.380 --> 20:14.120
to show to the editor?

20:14.120 --> 20:14.620
That's crazy.

20:14.620 --> 20:16.400
Touch the screen a little bit.

20:16.400 --> 20:16.900
All right.

20:16.900 --> 20:18.360
Well, I guess that's how the question is done.

20:18.360 --> 20:19.360
And that's what's up to the viewers.

20:19.360 --> 20:20.920
We have not meddled in each of us questions.

20:20.920 --> 20:21.420
No.

20:21.420 --> 20:23.720
We even would go out of production room

20:23.720 --> 20:25.880
when they were discussing others like the kitchen

20:25.880 --> 20:26.560
from anybody else.

20:26.560 --> 20:27.320
We chose teams last second, too.

20:27.320 --> 20:28.200
Let me do the negotiation.

20:28.200 --> 20:28.880
You're going to negotiate.

20:28.880 --> 20:29.880
That's a draw, right?

20:29.880 --> 20:31.640
One point for you, one point for us.

20:31.640 --> 20:32.140
Fair.

20:32.140 --> 20:34.140
That gives us a free point, I will take it.

20:34.140 --> 20:35.140
You're helping us.

20:35.140 --> 20:36.140
I take it.

20:36.140 --> 20:37.140
I'll take them on the rest.

20:37.140 --> 20:38.140
Okay.

20:38.140 --> 20:39.140
Alright, next question.

20:39.140 --> 20:45.780
How much damage does a camp cap trap deal?

20:45.780 --> 20:47.260
And the number is 61?

20:47.260 --> 20:49.660
Is it higher or lower than 61 damage?

20:49.660 --> 20:51.220
It's lower, right?

20:51.220 --> 20:52.220
Lower.

20:52.220 --> 20:53.220
Yeah.

20:53.220 --> 20:54.220
Lower.

20:54.220 --> 20:56.260
Wait, you need two to kill on like a three speed, so it does...

20:56.260 --> 20:58.340
Yeah, I agree with you.

20:58.340 --> 20:59.340
It's lower.

20:59.340 --> 21:01.340
Yeah, but you would need three to kill...

21:01.340 --> 21:05.980
uh one speed and it's like 130 feet. Yeah you need two to down and three to kill so

21:06.940 --> 21:10.300
so it can't be higher than that because it would be 65 then it's lower it's lower

21:11.260 --> 21:17.820
it is lower okay how much was it it was six i'm about to say i was like i'm pretty sure it has to

21:17.820 --> 21:23.580
be just a flat number because like when i get hit by those it's yeah 100 hp down to 40 hp as you

21:23.580 --> 21:29.100
would in boom 60 great low play you picked like an off number so nobody's gonna be like oh let's do

21:29.100 --> 21:34.820
61 damage. Well actually when I read it I saw it was 62 HP and then when we did the trial in the game it was 60

21:34.820 --> 21:39.360
So maybe I'm the one that was wrong. Okay. All right. Well, then I guess it's my turn

21:40.000 --> 21:42.460
How many hatches does club have?

21:43.240 --> 21:46.420
There's is there nine is it lower or is it higher? Okay?

21:46.420 --> 21:49.300
We need to take the think of the roof mate think of the roof you have one

21:49.980 --> 21:53.220
Then the top of your skin Jim construction. That's three

21:53.740 --> 21:57.140
We're all good. Oh move on to bar one stock five

21:57.140 --> 21:59.140
That's it, 5.

22:02.140 --> 22:04.140
Wait, you got free for the basement?

22:04.140 --> 22:05.140
Okay, you need an answer in 5 seconds.

22:05.140 --> 22:06.140
I would say lower than 9.

22:06.140 --> 22:07.140
Lower.

22:07.140 --> 22:08.140
We did forget about the strip hatch though.

22:08.140 --> 22:09.140
That's alright.

22:09.140 --> 22:10.140
You're right.

22:10.140 --> 22:11.140
It is lower.

22:11.140 --> 22:12.140
There's 7.

22:12.140 --> 22:13.140
Yeah.

22:13.140 --> 22:14.140
Is that one that people forget right there?

22:14.140 --> 22:15.140
Yeah.

22:15.140 --> 22:16.140
That's on the very roof over there.

22:16.140 --> 22:18.140
We forgot about the strip hatch.

22:18.140 --> 22:19.140
Yeah.

22:19.140 --> 22:20.140
Then how did you come up with 5 only?

22:20.140 --> 22:21.140
Yeah, I was about to.

22:21.140 --> 22:26.140
I didn't go into strip and I was just thinking, I just, I think I counted the gym construction

22:26.140 --> 22:31.620
I can't get a single one on the roof, but there is the straight one that I forgot and then there is the blue kitchen and

22:32.140 --> 22:36.060
Star catch, which was six and then we're just missing one

22:36.060 --> 22:39.900
Little times for the Berlin major and the echo drones going up there. It's a little bit of a throwback

22:39.900 --> 22:43.620
But um short time your question. Yeah, your turn our question. Yeah

22:44.300 --> 22:46.060
All right

22:46.060 --> 22:51.000
So then obviously we've already done the console. We have to move on to the next one

22:51.000 --> 22:53.860
Yeah, how long does the go your fire last

22:56.140 --> 22:58.140
I was locked in.

22:58.140 --> 23:01.420
The question was 23, higher or lower?

23:01.420 --> 23:02.920
Lower.

23:02.920 --> 23:04.420
Let's verify if it's 20 seconds.

23:04.420 --> 23:05.920
Let's actually check it first.

23:05.920 --> 23:08.380
Look at the timer, it was started at 2-0-0.

23:08.380 --> 23:11.580
And it didn't let you finish your sentence.

23:11.580 --> 23:12.700
Go to the time code.

23:12.700 --> 23:13.700
Sorry.

23:13.700 --> 23:14.740
Is it 20 seconds?

23:14.740 --> 23:15.240
Ready?

23:15.240 --> 23:16.820
Pay attention.

23:16.820 --> 23:17.620
It is, yeah.

23:17.620 --> 23:19.220
It is on the dot, 20.

23:19.220 --> 23:20.180
It can go to 22.

23:20.180 --> 23:21.700
We didn't know how ready to count it.

23:21.700 --> 23:24.100
So between 20 and 22, she's a tryouter.

23:24.100 --> 23:25.100
She got the right answer.

23:25.100 --> 23:29.100
Did you just hear at SI when they were doing, what was that game called?

23:29.100 --> 23:31.100
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to get it.

23:31.100 --> 23:33.100
Did you just hear at SI, the game that they just don't play?

23:33.100 --> 23:34.100
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

23:34.100 --> 23:35.100
You guys didn't lose anything.

23:35.100 --> 23:36.100
Were you with Xenox on that?

23:36.100 --> 23:37.100
No, who were you with?

23:37.100 --> 23:38.100
No, with Mennik.

23:38.100 --> 23:39.100
Yeah, you carried, you carried Rob.

23:39.100 --> 23:40.100
Hard.

23:40.100 --> 23:41.100
Hard.

23:41.100 --> 23:43.100
I hope you're just watching that, Rob, because you weren't getting past that.

23:43.100 --> 23:44.100
It's fine.

23:44.100 --> 23:47.100
I love how we came up with the game mode and I just decided to like, find my way around

23:47.100 --> 23:49.100
this and come up with it on this.

23:49.100 --> 23:51.100
Any time, any game, I'm just curious who I do.

23:51.100 --> 23:52.100
Absolutely.

23:52.100 --> 23:53.100
I'm competitive, sorry.

23:53.100 --> 23:54.100
I'm okay with it.

23:54.100 --> 24:01.360
Yeah, I'm totally fine. Alright, two two three. I have a funny one for this one. How many drinks are there on the bar of

24:02.020 --> 24:03.020
Coastlines blue bar?

24:03.020 --> 24:07.780
What? No, no. Your answer is 12. I think it's higher. I would go higher

24:08.660 --> 24:14.180
Instantly. There's some other things on there which we should know. And you include in the wall or just the bar? Just the bar. Just the surface of the bar.

24:15.540 --> 24:20.920
Stop 12 and I don't know man because they can be like you can have a range of bottles and then you can blow those behind it

24:20.920 --> 24:22.920
You've been there before.

24:22.920 --> 24:23.920
Lower.

24:23.920 --> 24:24.920
You think of experience.

24:24.920 --> 24:25.920
Yeah, I'm gonna say lower.

24:25.920 --> 24:26.920
Alright, I'll trust lower.

24:26.920 --> 24:27.920
Lower.

24:27.920 --> 24:28.920
Lower.

24:28.920 --> 24:29.920
Yeah.

24:29.920 --> 24:30.920
Higher.

24:30.920 --> 24:31.920
I should have trusted the instinct.

24:31.920 --> 24:32.920
17.

24:32.920 --> 24:33.920
So there's two sides of the bar, you see?

24:33.920 --> 24:34.920
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

24:34.920 --> 24:37.920
So I was already, I was only thinking about the office side.

24:37.920 --> 24:38.920
Yeah.

24:38.920 --> 24:39.920
How many is that?

24:39.920 --> 24:40.920
17.

24:40.920 --> 24:41.920
A lot.

24:41.920 --> 24:42.920
Yeah, because if they are steps, like you say, they are steps.

24:42.920 --> 24:43.920
It's alright.

24:43.920 --> 24:44.920
It's alright.

24:44.920 --> 24:45.920
That's no point for you guys.

24:45.920 --> 24:46.920
We are still leading.

24:46.920 --> 24:47.920
Yeah, we're leading 3-2.

24:47.920 --> 24:48.920
We're leading 3-2.

24:48.920 --> 24:49.920
Well, you gave us the point.

24:49.920 --> 24:54.400
So you might have just given yourself the lost there. Yeah, you only have two points. We have three

24:54.840 --> 24:58.100
No, you have to we have three. I mean we make no sense

25:01.440 --> 25:06.380
We won the concert one we won the first like playing Monopoly and being the bank and taking some extra money

25:06.480 --> 25:10.080
Yeah, yeah, so you gave us a point for that. Yeah, but also won the first question that you asked

25:10.080 --> 25:15.440
So that's two one and then we also won the one with the hatches. Yeah, that's three. Yeah, we've got forest

25:15.440 --> 25:20.320
Yeah, I'm thinking we're three two stuff. Yeah, and you're you've got to yeah

25:20.320 --> 25:25.280
You only get one right and then we gave you one with the drill your question. Okay our question

25:26.280 --> 25:28.040
Laksig fast down

25:28.040 --> 25:37.000
How many ST events have you attended combined including when Laksig was a player? Oh, yeah, and the higher all over it's 30

25:37.720 --> 25:39.560
Just quite a lot

25:39.560 --> 25:41.560
Be good for our ego to say higher wouldn't it?

25:42.280 --> 25:44.280
What was that skin line?

25:45.440 --> 25:47.440
I don't know like I count that I think

25:47.440 --> 25:50.240
So we're counting in that game as a EWC probably final

25:50.240 --> 25:54.680
So I think I counted it at last and it was like over 10 already for myself. So that's yeah higher

25:54.680 --> 26:00.080
Yeah, but obviously I've never played but yeah, I'm confident with higher. So you think you have more than you think you have like

26:00.080 --> 26:01.580
You've been around for a while

26:01.580 --> 26:06.020
I've been with the player and yeah, all right, okay, you're right higher look at that

26:06.020 --> 26:07.540
Wait, wasn't that what you gave us again?

26:07.540 --> 26:08.040
30

26:08.040 --> 26:09.040
Oh, we look cool there

26:09.040 --> 26:10.040
No, we look cool

26:10.040 --> 26:13.040
I was a little happy to find that one

26:13.040 --> 26:14.040
That's the duo right there

26:14.040 --> 26:17.720
That's clean. That's the synergy that we get from playing like the same

26:17.720 --> 26:19.800
Voluntary, but yeah. That's the fork on mind events.

26:19.800 --> 26:24.080
Insane. There you go. Wow. If you didn't say a player then I would have a really

26:24.080 --> 26:28.960
like question being being an analyst. No, but I don't have the top of my head.

26:28.960 --> 26:33.440
But alright, that was a good one. Okay, next one. How many doors on the top floor

26:33.440 --> 26:39.840
of labs? The answer is 12. Lower or higher? Alright, thank you to it. Okay, you're going

26:39.840 --> 26:43.560
from from Gash side. You see a first doorway. There is one into IT. There is

26:43.560 --> 26:46.560
There's a one between 18 and Gash, then you go into Fish.

26:46.560 --> 26:49.060
You have a first one to go between Commander and...

26:49.060 --> 26:50.060
I can't understand.

26:50.060 --> 26:51.360
Then you go into Fish.

26:51.360 --> 26:52.860
There's two into Fish, by the way.

26:52.860 --> 26:53.760
That's seven.

26:53.760 --> 26:55.060
There's one more in Connector.

26:55.060 --> 26:56.860
There's one more, two more in Connector.

26:56.860 --> 26:58.260
That's three. That's ten. That's more than 12.

26:58.260 --> 27:00.060
Give us an answer. Three, two, one...

27:00.060 --> 27:01.560
How many? What was the number?

27:01.560 --> 27:02.560
Ten.

27:02.560 --> 27:03.560
Ten? I think there's more.

27:05.360 --> 27:06.260
I would go higher.

27:06.260 --> 27:07.560
It's kind of...

27:07.560 --> 27:08.560
No, it is 12.

27:08.560 --> 27:10.260
I said the answer.

27:10.260 --> 27:11.560
He said the answer.

27:11.560 --> 27:12.560
No!

27:13.560 --> 27:17.000
It is 12, so I'm just gonna say it by the way, what are you doing?

27:17.000 --> 27:19.480
It was 12, I said the answer.

27:19.480 --> 27:20.840
So we just fully pull off there, right?

27:20.840 --> 27:21.680
Yeah, you got it, right?

27:21.680 --> 27:24.080
I don't know, I was just counting straight into it.

27:24.080 --> 27:25.680
I think we counted up to two.

27:25.680 --> 27:27.480
That was you guys' last question as well, by the way.

27:27.480 --> 27:29.720
You have to, okay, we have one more for you guys.

27:29.720 --> 27:31.080
We messed it over a little bit.

27:31.080 --> 27:32.520
Yeah, we also kind of trolled them.

27:32.520 --> 27:33.360
But it's all right.

27:33.360 --> 27:34.200
No, it's all right.

27:34.200 --> 27:36.560
The final question we have is, how many reinforceable walls

27:36.560 --> 27:39.000
do you have on the top floor of Shelly?

27:40.640 --> 27:41.480
On Shelly, okay.

27:41.480 --> 27:42.320
You're all 25.

27:42.320 --> 27:43.320
Oh, we can count.

27:43.320 --> 27:44.320
I can count in 10 seconds.

27:44.320 --> 27:45.320
So solo across.

27:45.320 --> 27:51.320
So solo, two solo, two bathroom, four closet, so that's however many, two master.

27:51.320 --> 27:52.320
Five.

27:52.320 --> 27:53.320
Four office.

27:53.320 --> 27:54.320
Four library.

27:54.320 --> 27:56.320
Four library, five library with the inside bar.

27:56.320 --> 27:57.320
I need that answer now.

27:57.320 --> 27:58.320
Oh, I don't know.

27:58.320 --> 27:59.320
I've won a few control numbers.

27:59.320 --> 28:00.320
Six library.

28:00.320 --> 28:01.320
25.

28:01.320 --> 28:02.320
I would say lower.

28:02.320 --> 28:03.320
Lower.

28:03.320 --> 28:04.320
Just take it lower.

28:04.320 --> 28:05.320
Yeah, you got it right.

28:05.320 --> 28:06.320
It's 20 in total.

28:06.320 --> 28:07.320
Yeah.

28:07.320 --> 28:08.320
Here are the highlighted walls, of course.

28:08.320 --> 28:09.320
Wow, we're pretty good at this game.

28:09.320 --> 28:10.320
Yeah.

28:10.320 --> 28:11.320
Yeah.

28:11.320 --> 28:15.060
Which I don't think you should trust me for them because it's one of my least favorite subjects in high school

28:15.060 --> 28:18.140
We are drawn we were even on this one

28:18.640 --> 28:20.640
You have death

28:20.760 --> 28:24.100
It's like playing Monopoly where you like take how many because we got Vegas

28:24.100 --> 28:29.720
We got this out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? We'll start this out later. We have a few more games

28:29.720 --> 28:31.720
It's where my hour winner for today

29:11.320 --> 29:29.120
Moving into our second minigame, there are no more duos.

29:29.120 --> 29:31.280
It's you guys all against each other.

29:31.280 --> 29:36.120
Has anybody ever won a very, like, is anybody of you leading currently in regards to the

29:36.120 --> 29:37.120
minigames you've played so far?

29:37.120 --> 29:38.120
Yeah, probably.

29:38.120 --> 29:39.120
Little try-out.

29:39.120 --> 29:41.920
So we're going to your favorite minigame now where we get to draw again!

29:41.920 --> 29:43.120
Oh my god, not again!

29:43.120 --> 29:45.920
What are you drawing, Jack? What is that?

29:45.920 --> 29:47.120
I'm drawing a car.

29:47.120 --> 29:48.120
Oh, a car.

29:48.120 --> 29:49.120
A smiley face.

29:49.120 --> 29:51.120
Right. I've drawn a little car.

29:51.120 --> 29:52.120
I mean, I could ask you, Cap, what do you think?

29:52.120 --> 29:55.120
You might need to zoom in to see it, because you realize you have the entire thing drawn.

29:55.120 --> 29:56.120
Yeah, I know.

29:56.120 --> 30:00.120
I would also advise you to not draw too big, because the wipers are...

30:00.120 --> 30:02.120
They'll erase it, but it's not going to be too great.

30:02.120 --> 30:06.120
So, what we're going to be doing for our second minigame is we did the ZSI as well,

30:06.120 --> 30:09.560
as well, it went kind of wrong, you know, the players drew something completely different.

30:09.560 --> 30:13.880
We're all over social media. I'm letting you guys draw operator icons to see if you have

30:13.880 --> 30:17.480
more knowledge of it than our professional players have.

30:17.480 --> 30:20.760
You play this game every single day, you look at the operator icons every single day, and

30:20.760 --> 30:22.440
somehow you forget them as soon as I'm at it.

30:22.440 --> 30:23.720
I look at the colors, that's all I do.

30:23.720 --> 30:26.440
Yeah, that's fine. You call it your school, you only have a black pen there.

30:26.440 --> 30:29.720
But what I'm going to do is I'm going to name an operator, you're going to draw the operator icon,

30:29.720 --> 30:32.440
you have 30 seconds to draw, everybody at the same time.

30:32.440 --> 30:38.180
When I say show, you all show your drawing, and then we have the operator icon underneath it to verify as well.

30:38.180 --> 30:39.940
Who drew it best? I'll be scoring points.

30:39.940 --> 30:42.640
So first operator icon will start with an easier one.

30:42.640 --> 30:43.280
Sledge.

30:48.780 --> 30:49.940
They are so locked in.

30:53.140 --> 30:59.080
There is a hammer on it, which is a very, very easy, but what is the direction of the hammer?

30:59.080 --> 31:05.560
Okay, I think I have it. Oh, you're done. Okay. Yeah, I'm no I mean

31:06.400 --> 31:08.400
Oh

31:18.480 --> 31:24.600
I got great minus one points and I can't give you point for that either that is completely wrong orientation

31:29.080 --> 31:33.420
Breaking the wall right here that I was okay, but I didn't have time. I was breaking the wall

31:33.420 --> 31:38.140
But I'm breaking the wall in the wrong corner. Yeah, I don't I don't know if we could give any of you guys points for this

31:38.140 --> 31:41.720
Come on. At least we got ours at an angle. Yeah

31:42.220 --> 31:47.300
They did actually. We've got half of them. Look at that breach. Pretty cool breach

31:47.300 --> 31:49.000
It was getting close to your breach right now

31:49.000 --> 31:52.420
It just looks like it's on fire. We're just only give Leo a point because of like the destruction around it as well

31:52.420 --> 31:58.080
Why? Like that's a potion to the logo. That's what I was trying to draw! Bro, you look like you've electrified your hammer. Wipe it away. Wipe it away

31:58.080 --> 32:01.000
And if not, you use the other side but just be careful with your clothing

32:03.240 --> 32:09.700
50% okay 75. Yeah, I'm calling you calm. I'm calling like I'm planting. Okay, 100%

32:09.700 --> 32:10.680
Next one, yeah.

32:10.680 --> 32:11.680
He just likes it on Snake.

32:11.680 --> 32:12.680
Oh Rooney!

32:14.680 --> 32:15.680
Oh Rooney!

32:15.880 --> 32:17.880
What? What is it?

32:19.940 --> 32:21.940
You guys play this game every single day.

32:21.940 --> 32:25.040
You have to know something about the operator icon.

32:25.240 --> 32:27.240
So DMR meta?

32:28.080 --> 32:30.080
Anything

32:39.800 --> 32:45.920
Oh, you're showing everybody okay. Oh, is that a jail or is that a rooty? Oh, what of course?

32:48.420 --> 32:50.760
Yeah, I cannot give any of you guys a point for this

32:50.760 --> 32:58.600
I started doing the how do you call that like the the cuts, but it looks like a hand

33:02.400 --> 33:04.400
Can we bring me

33:06.960 --> 33:09.720
You know what I do with this game, it'll get more fun you're gonna get

33:10.680 --> 33:14.000
At least we kind of have the same idea. I was just thinking of the gate

33:14.440 --> 33:18.560
This one will really require your artistic skills as army

33:20.760 --> 33:24.280
Wait, okay. I'll try harding, that's why I don't speak.

33:24.280 --> 33:26.840
Okay. So locked in.

33:26.840 --> 33:28.360
Oh no, hang on, I gotta be careful.

33:28.360 --> 33:28.860
Okay.

33:28.860 --> 33:30.360
Stop looking at me.

33:30.360 --> 33:31.480
Yeah. Oh, oh.

33:31.480 --> 33:32.920
Jack, you want another minus point?

33:32.920 --> 33:33.420
Yeah.

33:33.420 --> 33:34.520
Okay, cool, gotcha.

33:34.520 --> 33:37.880
So, so far, we have Jack on minus two points.

33:39.080 --> 33:41.000
We have Leo on one point, and Lexi on the other.

33:41.000 --> 33:42.040
Yes, there's four of them.

33:43.880 --> 33:44.680
Seven seconds.

33:45.640 --> 33:49.560
Okay, three, two, one, and show.

33:49.560 --> 33:51.560
I just completely out of my mind.

33:51.560 --> 33:52.560
What?

33:52.560 --> 33:55.560
Oh, you guys draw through the kunai, that's not...

33:55.560 --> 33:57.560
We all drew the kunai.

33:57.560 --> 33:59.560
Well, we all drew the kunai.

33:59.560 --> 34:00.560
I didn't even draw the kunai.

34:00.560 --> 34:01.560
What is that?

34:01.560 --> 34:02.560
That's what I'm talking about.

34:02.560 --> 34:04.560
No, no, no, no, let's focus on the drawing.

34:04.560 --> 34:06.560
He just, he just drew one triangle.

34:06.560 --> 34:10.560
I was gonna do a kunai, I was like, I'm almost positive it's not a kunai.

34:10.560 --> 34:12.560
30 seconds to draw a triangle.

34:12.560 --> 34:14.560
Just as slow as you were in game.

34:14.560 --> 34:15.560
Beautiful.

34:15.560 --> 34:16.560
This one should be easier, okay?

34:16.560 --> 34:18.560
I feel like I've done it, you guys are doing it with a teacher.

34:18.560 --> 34:26.880
hard I don't think this one's gonna be easier for sure buck I have no idea oh my god think of his gadget

34:30.480 --> 34:35.760
you know you're supposed to draw right he's striking I'm just enjoying watching these guys draw

34:35.760 --> 34:41.280
in in life check you're on minus two points yeah I know but I he's giving up he's giving up I'm out

34:41.280 --> 34:46.960
I'm out I'm the random on you team you know when you fall stuck to the random on you team just not

34:46.960 --> 34:48.960
Oh, that's me right now.

34:48.960 --> 34:50.960
Oh.

34:50.960 --> 34:52.960
This is AFA in the truck please.

34:52.960 --> 34:54.960
What is that?

34:54.960 --> 34:56.960
It's a double barrel.

34:56.960 --> 34:58.960
It's a double barrel.

34:58.960 --> 35:00.960
It's like one big barrel and a small one.

35:00.960 --> 35:02.960
It's two big bullets from the skeleton key.

35:02.960 --> 35:04.960
It's not closer at all.

35:04.960 --> 35:06.960
It's not closer at all.

35:06.960 --> 35:08.960
It's not closer at all.

35:08.960 --> 35:10.960
It's literally the slug.

35:10.960 --> 35:12.960
Big bullet?

35:12.960 --> 35:14.960
I play this game every day and you say I can't think of it.

35:14.960 --> 35:16.960
Think of it.

35:16.960 --> 35:19.960
Okay. This one will be a fun one.

35:19.960 --> 35:22.960
So I feel like you'll hopefully like, uh, Daemus.

35:22.960 --> 35:23.960
He's your next operator, right?

35:23.960 --> 35:25.960
Oh my god, aren't we too late?

35:25.960 --> 35:27.960
Think of how Daemus looks like in game.

35:27.960 --> 35:28.960
Yeah, yeah.

35:28.960 --> 35:31.960
I know that one. It's like...

35:31.960 --> 35:33.960
You gotta give us something.

35:33.960 --> 35:37.960
This'll be something, an easier one.

35:37.960 --> 35:39.960
Like, I don't know, maybe something to do with it.

35:39.960 --> 35:41.960
Oh, that's good! That's good!

35:41.960 --> 35:42.960
Okay, he's got this one.

35:46.960 --> 35:47.960
Okay, five seconds.

35:48.960 --> 35:49.960
Okay, yep.

35:51.960 --> 35:53.960
Show it, cause yeah, you actually cook with this one.

35:53.960 --> 35:54.960
Yeah, that's really, really nice.

35:54.960 --> 35:55.960
Okay, we're talking about me here.

35:55.960 --> 35:56.960
Yeah, you cook.

35:56.960 --> 35:57.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

35:57.960 --> 35:58.960
What? Yeah.

35:58.960 --> 35:59.960
What do you mean?

35:59.960 --> 36:00.960
What?

36:00.960 --> 36:01.960
What do you mean?

36:01.960 --> 36:02.960
What?

36:02.960 --> 36:03.960
What do you mean?

36:03.960 --> 36:04.960
You just have a mouth.

36:04.960 --> 36:05.960
Mine is much better.

36:05.960 --> 36:06.960
Yeah, what do you mean?

36:06.960 --> 36:07.960
No, Leo, that's definitely a mouth.

36:07.960 --> 36:08.960
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

36:08.960 --> 36:09.960
Like, on your right, you're right.

36:09.960 --> 36:10.960
That's your first point.

36:10.960 --> 36:13.120
in the middle of appropriate so frustrated about

36:13.120 --> 36:15.960
look we've seen is not a little bit of a nerf

36:15.960 --> 36:17.640
don't give me

36:17.640 --> 36:19.560
i'll you get a lot of you there you go

36:19.560 --> 36:20.160
always

36:20.160 --> 36:21.360
i had to

36:21.360 --> 36:23.160
away i'm going to attempt this

36:23.160 --> 36:25.960
i don't know that so soon as you give him something that he'd be like you can do

36:25.960 --> 36:29.680
then yeah i don't know that don't look at me it's like

36:29.680 --> 36:31.560
the

36:31.560 --> 36:34.960
halo

36:34.960 --> 36:37.000
it has not it has nothing to do with the

36:37.000 --> 36:39.760
all right well i might try

36:39.760 --> 36:43.200
Well, I'm out, in that case, I'm not even going to embarrass myself.

36:43.200 --> 36:46.080
It's a fat one for me.

36:46.080 --> 36:46.720
A what?

36:46.720 --> 36:47.600
It's kind of fat.

36:47.600 --> 36:50.320
I just watch.

36:50.320 --> 36:51.520
I do it.

36:51.520 --> 36:52.560
What?

36:52.560 --> 36:54.000
Watch.

36:54.000 --> 36:55.760
It's like when, yeah, exactly.

36:55.760 --> 36:57.200
Yeah, but that comes up on the payload.

36:57.200 --> 36:57.360
That's exactly that.

36:57.360 --> 36:58.560
It comes up on the payload.

36:58.560 --> 36:59.040
Yeah.

36:59.040 --> 37:00.000
You can recognize it with the ears.

37:00.000 --> 37:00.640
Okay, but I will.

37:00.640 --> 37:02.000
See, I will.

37:02.000 --> 37:03.360
Okay, we need to zoom in on the ears.

37:03.360 --> 37:04.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:04.400 --> 37:05.200
Look at his ears.

37:05.200 --> 37:07.280
Well, yeah, okay, so hear me out.

37:07.280 --> 37:09.440
I think since you missed on the eyebrows,

37:09.440 --> 37:15.680
Which is good and you got the glasses bigger. I think yours is better than Leo's check it. You had a drug anything that's actually insane

37:29.680 --> 37:32.920
I'm honestly proud of the demos one that's all I'm proud of okay

37:32.920 --> 37:37.440
Given the time I'm gonna pick another operator not the one from the direct or even one further down the line

37:37.440 --> 37:40.040
I want you guys to draw Ella. Oh

37:41.400 --> 37:43.400
Oh

37:43.560 --> 37:45.560
Why do I just blind? I

37:48.440 --> 37:50.960
Played so much of this game. I just blank it out

37:55.520 --> 37:57.520
You're doing pumpkin oh

37:58.200 --> 38:03.000
Actually, no. Yeah, you're doing all right. So this is all that went really wrong when we did it with the pro players at SI

38:03.000 --> 38:07.440
I think I think that one okay I have no idea what I'm just...

38:07.440 --> 38:12.760
oh okay okay two very different yeah yeah yeah

38:12.760 --> 38:16.760
what did you draw on the background of the floor I did my thing in the wrong way

38:16.760 --> 38:20.120
he still is so much better than I what did you draw on the background

38:20.120 --> 38:24.640
oh yeah what is what is this is this like the grish what minor is it the kind of

38:24.640 --> 38:28.160
like explosion that she comes through you've got the right thing I mean

38:28.160 --> 38:33.160
Honestly, I thought it was the Grishmat, but it was close enough.

38:33.160 --> 38:38.160
I think this is an incredible reverse sweep from you, Lexi, because you get three points.

38:38.160 --> 38:40.160
So you were speeding on three points.

38:40.160 --> 38:42.160
Jack, minus two, anything you want to say?

38:42.160 --> 38:44.160
No.

38:44.160 --> 38:48.160
I don't know how to describe this, but I've looked at the whole face screen.

38:48.160 --> 38:50.160
Millions of times.

38:50.160 --> 38:52.160
And it comes to me, and I'm just like, oh.

38:52.160 --> 38:56.160
I think there's a big difference between analyst and artist.

38:56.160 --> 38:59.160
You know what? Even if you show me the icons, I wouldn't have been able to get there anyway.

38:59.160 --> 39:02.660
Maybe, maybe next ranking session and have a little bit of a better look in cases that ever happens again.

39:02.660 --> 39:05.160
Can I just draw something else? Can I be like the kid in the corner that you just...

39:05.160 --> 39:09.160
I'll give you 10 seconds to draw whatever you want to draw.

39:09.160 --> 39:10.160
10?

39:10.160 --> 39:13.160
10 seconds? Just let him do his thing during the game.

39:13.160 --> 39:14.160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

39:14.160 --> 39:23.660
Okay, cool. In that case, I'll have us move on to the third game, and if our lovely assistant would please come in with our wheel, we're going to be spinning a wheel.

39:23.660 --> 39:25.160
So we can give up on the drawing?

39:25.160 --> 39:26.560
you don't need to your boards anymore.

39:26.560 --> 39:28.200
I wish you all make it more difficult for yourself

39:28.200 --> 39:30.320
and write the things down instead of saying it,

39:30.320 --> 39:31.320
but we're not gonna do that

39:31.320 --> 39:33.960
because you're putting yourself on a desert bonus there.

39:33.960 --> 39:35.800
We have a wheel next to us.

39:35.800 --> 39:37.880
Spend the wheel with my name added into it.

39:37.880 --> 39:39.000
Thank you very much.

39:39.000 --> 39:41.720
And what the purpose of this mini game is,

39:41.720 --> 39:44.160
there's a bunch of letters on there.

39:44.160 --> 39:45.000
Beautiful drawing.

39:45.000 --> 39:47.280
Yeah, I feel like I'm back in my teaching days now

39:47.280 --> 39:48.320
where I'm trying to explain something

39:48.320 --> 39:50.520
and get in class or just drawing something.

39:50.520 --> 39:51.360
At least in a clue.

39:51.360 --> 39:53.200
There's a wheel, there's a wheel and we turn the wheel.

39:53.200 --> 39:54.800
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna spin the wheel

39:54.800 --> 39:56.700
and it's gonna end on a random letter.

39:56.700 --> 39:58.400
I don't know.

39:58.400 --> 39:59.240
I just said that.

39:59.240 --> 40:00.080
That's a wheel.

40:00.080 --> 40:01.400
And it'll take you like 10 seconds later, but okay.

40:01.400 --> 40:02.240
I was joining.

40:02.240 --> 40:03.840
And I'm gonna spin it.

40:03.840 --> 40:04.920
It's gonna end up on a random letter

40:04.920 --> 40:07.840
and I need you to name something siege related.

40:07.840 --> 40:08.680
Okay.

40:08.680 --> 40:09.520
With that random letter,

40:09.520 --> 40:10.840
starting with that random letter,

40:10.840 --> 40:11.680
in three seconds,

40:11.680 --> 40:12.960
otherwise I'm shooting you with a gun.

40:12.960 --> 40:13.800
Wait, wait, wait,

40:13.800 --> 40:14.640
I've got one more time,

40:14.640 --> 40:15.560
like my brain is like blank.

40:15.560 --> 40:16.400
Who says it?

40:16.400 --> 40:17.920
Are you spinning like from the other side?

40:17.920 --> 40:19.600
The wheel, and I'm spinning it for Leo.

40:19.600 --> 40:21.800
It comes out on a random letter, sorry.

40:21.800 --> 40:23.280
You then have three seconds to say something

40:23.280 --> 40:25.280
It's easy to lay the stars with that letter.

40:25.280 --> 40:28.280
And if not, I shoot you with a gun.

40:28.280 --> 40:29.280
Oh my gosh.

40:29.280 --> 40:30.280
And we test this one, it hurts.

40:30.280 --> 40:31.280
Okay.

40:31.280 --> 40:32.280
Let me load up the MN.

40:32.280 --> 40:33.280
The creativity is...

40:33.280 --> 40:34.280
Yeah.

40:34.280 --> 40:35.280
Okay, cool.

40:35.280 --> 40:36.280
There we go.

40:36.280 --> 40:37.280
I'm putting on my plate.

40:37.280 --> 40:38.280
Beautiful.

40:38.280 --> 40:39.280
This is exactly what I would do in game as well, like a skin like this.

40:39.280 --> 40:40.280
Okay.

40:40.280 --> 40:41.280
Leo, you ready?

40:41.280 --> 40:42.280
Yes.

40:42.280 --> 40:43.280
Okay.

40:43.280 --> 40:44.280
Your letter is...

40:44.280 --> 40:45.280
R.

40:45.280 --> 40:46.280
Riora.

40:46.280 --> 40:47.280
You are ready to shoot.

40:47.280 --> 40:48.280
What the...

40:48.280 --> 40:49.280
Yeah, I got a game position.

40:49.280 --> 40:50.280
You didn't even make me lose a second.

40:50.280 --> 40:51.280
I got a game position.

40:51.280 --> 40:52.280
Okay, very good, very good.

40:52.280 --> 40:58.920
point as well. I kind of want to just continue the losing. Your letter is a D. Okay, very

40:58.920 --> 41:04.360
good. Aim straight and because you just shoot it, you look like you're going to shoot it.

41:04.360 --> 41:07.560
Anyway, my aim is not that great. My KD is negative, but we'll get there. V.

41:09.560 --> 41:16.040
Okay. Oh, the sound is insane as well. V. V, I have no idea what's out here.

41:16.040 --> 41:17.040
Oh yeah!

41:17.040 --> 41:19.040
Ok, it would have been good.

41:19.040 --> 41:20.040
Alright.

41:20.040 --> 41:22.040
Jack, you're not doing too well!

41:22.040 --> 41:23.040
Really?

41:23.040 --> 41:24.040
You need your laden?

41:24.040 --> 41:26.040
Anything to do with the Brazilian ground?

41:26.040 --> 41:28.040
Oh no, come on, come on, something.

41:28.040 --> 41:30.040
That's why I took the S.I. I don't want you to say this to each other.

41:30.040 --> 41:31.040
Ok Leo, this is yours!

41:31.040 --> 41:32.040
Yes!

41:32.040 --> 41:33.040
D.

41:33.040 --> 41:34.040
Ok, yeah.

41:34.040 --> 41:36.040
And we can't repeat what someone else has said.

41:36.040 --> 41:37.040
No, he said demos.

41:37.040 --> 41:38.040
Well that's what I'm saying.

41:38.040 --> 41:39.040
Ok, sure.

41:39.040 --> 41:41.040
What on the shield meta am I washing?

41:41.040 --> 41:43.040
By the way, what's going on here?

41:43.040 --> 41:44.040
Well, we're kind of scared of you.

41:44.040 --> 41:49.280
You go like this so you see we're gonna put it down

41:51.960 --> 41:53.960
Don't stop bullets

41:54.320 --> 41:56.320
Very good. Okay, Jack yours

42:14.040 --> 42:16.040
This is worse than my point of view, it's like a scene from a movie.

42:16.040 --> 42:18.040
I will flicker before you say something to me.

42:18.040 --> 42:21.040
And you say they get shot in the neck.

42:21.040 --> 42:22.040
No!

42:25.040 --> 42:27.040
I've never tried it before.

42:28.040 --> 42:29.040
Oh no, no, we're not even real yet.

42:29.040 --> 42:31.040
The video yours is a...

42:31.040 --> 42:32.040
E.

42:32.040 --> 42:33.040
Electricity.

42:34.040 --> 42:35.040
Nah, shoot it.

42:35.040 --> 42:36.040
No, shoot it.

42:36.040 --> 42:37.040
No, shoot it.

42:37.040 --> 42:38.040
Come on dudes, come on.

42:38.040 --> 42:39.040
Okay.

42:40.040 --> 42:41.040
Well, I...

42:41.040 --> 42:42.040
You guys are electrified.

42:42.040 --> 42:43.040
Do I just get the...

42:43.040 --> 42:46.780
your shield well hold it lower because I'm not gonna shoot at your face no hold

42:46.780 --> 42:50.480
the shield to protect yourself oh okay well I just say I'm not gonna shoot at

42:50.480 --> 42:53.120
your face this is gonna go very wrong

42:53.120 --> 42:56.120
Oh! Why did you put it down?

42:56.120 --> 42:59.120
Just put it down! I almost got hitched up there

42:59.120 --> 43:01.120
The letter is A

43:01.120 --> 43:03.120
G

43:03.120 --> 43:05.120
Very nice

43:05.120 --> 43:07.120
He was quick

43:07.120 --> 43:09.120
You're like with an incense

43:09.120 --> 43:11.120
My life is out of line

43:11.120 --> 43:12.320
At least I've no gun to head, I'm good.

43:12.320 --> 43:12.820
H.

43:14.020 --> 43:14.520
Nah.

43:14.920 --> 43:15.720
Oh, shoot me.

43:16.120 --> 43:16.620
Shoot me.

43:17.120 --> 43:18.620
Oh, I don't know.

43:19.120 --> 43:20.820
It sounds like you cannot like it, but...

43:21.220 --> 43:22.320
Okay, okay, okay, cool.

43:22.620 --> 43:23.120
We'll move on.

43:23.120 --> 43:23.920
What, what, H?

43:24.320 --> 43:24.820
Leo.

43:24.820 --> 43:25.720
Oh, wait, I'll split it again.

43:25.720 --> 43:28.620
I would have had it, but I won't say it's because I'm saving it.

43:28.620 --> 43:29.220
Leo.

43:29.220 --> 43:29.720
Yeah.

43:31.420 --> 43:31.920
B.

43:31.920 --> 43:32.420
Pulse.

43:33.020 --> 43:33.520
Very nice.

43:33.820 --> 43:34.920
Do it without operators.

43:35.020 --> 43:35.520
Lexing?

43:35.520 --> 43:36.520
Okay, without operators.

43:36.520 --> 43:36.920
Okay.

43:36.920 --> 43:37.520
Without operators.

43:37.520 --> 43:38.420
Okay, Lexing yours.

43:38.420 --> 43:40.120
You might get a difficult 47, you haven't got a lot of it.

43:40.120 --> 43:42.400
I'm not sure if you're trying to make me angry anymore.

43:42.400 --> 43:43.480
No, anything's to do with it.

43:43.480 --> 43:43.980
Oh, OK.

43:43.980 --> 43:44.480
OK.

43:44.480 --> 43:45.880
Lexie, yours.

43:45.880 --> 43:47.760
Oh, I have H now.

43:47.760 --> 43:48.760
Ah.

43:48.760 --> 43:49.760
Thomas.

43:49.760 --> 43:50.760
Oh!

43:50.760 --> 43:51.260
OK.

43:51.260 --> 43:53.320
I'll let you do me a joke, be able to say it.

43:53.320 --> 43:54.320
No, no, no, no, no.

43:54.320 --> 43:55.320
He's on time.

43:55.320 --> 43:56.320
He's on time.

43:56.320 --> 43:57.320
Oh, my goodness.

43:57.320 --> 43:58.320
He's on time.

43:58.320 --> 43:59.320
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:59.320 --> 44:00.320
I'm trying.

44:00.320 --> 44:01.320
OK.

44:01.320 --> 44:02.800
I promise I'm trying my best.

44:02.800 --> 44:03.800
Here we go.

44:03.800 --> 44:05.160
You know what it is.

44:05.160 --> 44:05.660
D.

44:05.660 --> 44:06.760
D, Deimos.

44:06.760 --> 44:07.260
No.

44:07.260 --> 44:07.760
Don't give me.

44:07.760 --> 44:08.260
Don't give me.

44:08.260 --> 44:09.260
We said no to brothers.

44:09.260 --> 44:14.260
I was told to shoot, I'm sorry.

44:14.260 --> 44:16.260
What else could I do?

44:16.260 --> 44:18.260
What else could you see?

44:18.260 --> 44:20.260
Okay, let me just go.

44:20.260 --> 44:23.260
I was actually sweating.

44:23.260 --> 44:25.260
Well do one more round.

44:25.260 --> 44:27.260
D.

44:27.260 --> 44:29.260
Dropper.

44:29.260 --> 44:31.260
It took a lot on dropper.

44:31.260 --> 44:33.260
Don't give him a lot.

44:33.260 --> 44:35.260
Dropper.

44:35.260 --> 44:37.260
They smell.

44:37.260 --> 44:41.180
I'm having too much fun with this

44:41.180 --> 44:42.260
all right

44:42.260 --> 44:45.660
it's easy when you're not under the

44:45.660 --> 44:46.540
time

44:46.540 --> 44:53.140
be okay there's a bathroom work the

44:53.140 --> 44:54.300
bathroom work

44:54.300 --> 44:56.780
what do you know I like to call you

44:56.780 --> 44:59.900
settle a very nice okay guys I let

44:59.900 --> 45:02.620
you call I don't actually put the

45:02.620 --> 45:05.260
nose I have too many bulls still will

45:05.260 --> 45:07.260
Can I do it with you?

45:07.260 --> 45:08.260
No, no, you do it.

45:08.260 --> 45:10.260
Oh, yeah, I did my...

45:10.260 --> 45:12.260
Yeah, that's legit.

45:12.260 --> 45:14.260
I will spin the wheel for you.

45:14.260 --> 45:16.260
Don't aim for my head, please.

45:16.260 --> 45:18.260
Are you ready?

45:18.260 --> 45:19.260
B.

45:19.260 --> 45:20.260
Blueprints.

45:20.260 --> 45:24.260
I was still sending the eagle one.

45:24.260 --> 45:27.260
Anyways, that calls in for our prep phase.

45:27.260 --> 45:30.260
So, they hear a lot of fun with our three different minigames.

45:30.260 --> 45:33.260
We'll move on to EML, and next, as we actually get to qualify,

45:33.260 --> 45:37.680
teams going into EWC. Thank you very much for watching and we hope to see you again with

45:37.680 --> 45:38.960
prep face in stage 2.

51:33.260 --> 51:35.260
I

01:00:33.260 --> 01:00:54.560
2 is upon us. Playoffs Day 2 is the final chance for our teams to also get a spot for

01:00:54.560 --> 01:00:59.680
EWC. My name is Anne, I'll be your host in today's EML show and we also have Alphama

01:00:59.680 --> 01:01:03.600
and fresh with us. No more minigames, it's down to the serious work, it's bittersweet because

01:01:03.600 --> 01:01:07.200
we get to send two teams, but these are also our final two teams. I was kind of a little bit

01:01:07.200 --> 01:01:12.160
worried about being shot again and then you were fervently enjoying shooting, especially me,

01:01:12.160 --> 01:01:16.720
but also Leo as well. I've not seen where she hit the gun, but I can tell you it's somewhere here.

01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:21.600
No idea. And if for any reason we go overtime, I think she's going to leave out. Yeah. Okay, well,

01:01:21.600 --> 01:01:25.840
we'll see if that's gonna happen. If we get it overtime or not, first we take a look at our

01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:31.280
bracket to see how things are shaping up in our playoffs. As yesterday finished, we qualified two

01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:37.840
teams to the EWC, those teams being Falcons and Virtus.Pro, and we saw G2 and GK drop down to the

01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.280
lower bracket in their matches for today. And that means that obviously we have some, I guess,

01:01:43.280 --> 01:01:48.480
some surprises coming in today, because one team will make it to EWC between Rebels and GK.

01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:52.640
On the set of G2 Fanatic, obviously we have one big favorite that's going to be G2. If Natic were

01:01:52.640 --> 01:01:57.920
to make the upset that would be crazy. I'm focusing on match 4 here because I think it means a lot for

01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:02.480
two of these organizations, one of them making it. Rebels especially was one of the last team,

01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:06.000
the last team to find an organization coming up from Challenger Series all the way up into

01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:11.760
kickoff. I think to see them in this position right now, top six secured, one B03 away from EWC,

01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:15.920
it must mean a lot for these guys. And I think putting it simply and putting it fairly is whoever

01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:21.200
wins out of that game in terms of match 4 will have overachieved on the expectations of the stage

01:02:21.200 --> 01:02:27.160
because they will have displaced one of the four teams that went solid today, you know, in terms of the major and did well.

01:02:27.160 --> 01:02:30.400
Europe didn't, of course, didn't win it, but didn't have a bad showing relatively.

01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:33.080
It was a lot of main stage from our teams and then VP as well.

01:02:33.080 --> 01:02:38.000
So, you know, displacing out, twisting minds and actually getting their head off one of G2 or Fnatic,

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:41.440
or even shifters who were probably the other teams that would have been the ones to do the step up,

01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:44.560
which other team makes out of Rebels and GK really will have had a great stage.

01:02:44.560 --> 01:02:46.640
Yeah, we'll have a look at these games later.

01:02:46.640 --> 01:02:50.240
I just had so much fun with these mini games that we just did during the prep phase

01:02:50.240 --> 01:02:54.560
that we started to put yet another one on here, Guns and Volves, but no shooting, don't worry,

01:02:54.560 --> 01:03:00.400
we will have a look at the newly released eSports skins that came out last week on Thursday.

01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:02.560
We're going to have a very close look as well.

01:03:02.560 --> 01:03:07.360
I'm going to show a very zoomed in photo to our endless and see if they can guess by that

01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:11.720
very zoomed in photo which skin and which organization this is.

01:03:11.720 --> 01:03:15.760
So difficult quest because some of these are really, well some of these are a little similar,

01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:21.440
But we'll start with the very first one showing the zoomed in photo of the very first skin

01:03:22.900 --> 01:03:29.340
Okay, I know I know which one it is. Oh, okay. Try hard. Okay. I know which one is I think it's Goyo from Wildcard. Yes

01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:35.400
I think it is because the design is really really cool. It's like some kind of well

01:03:36.120 --> 01:03:38.120
Yeah

01:03:38.120 --> 01:03:43.580
Yeah, that's why I'm not involved but no shit on the back and we can see Wildcard. Yeah, it's the logo as well

01:03:43.580 --> 01:03:48.580
Color scheme is really nice. I think it's very well done with the monsters and everything on it, which is really cool.

01:03:48.580 --> 01:03:49.580
Very cool.

01:03:49.580 --> 01:03:50.580
Insane design.

01:03:50.580 --> 01:03:51.580
Really cool.

01:03:51.580 --> 01:03:52.580
Is this Meshmaras or what?

01:03:52.580 --> 01:04:00.580
Yeah, I just love the quality of the drawing when you go from what we were drawing ourselves, when you can be drawing the Paranagos, to going to what we see here in the actual quality.

01:04:00.580 --> 01:04:03.580
That's why you pay a notice, guys. It's sexual talent.

01:04:03.580 --> 01:04:05.580
Don't mind if there was anyone there.

01:04:05.580 --> 01:04:11.580
No, I don't think that would be a smart idea what we said earlier today, but we have three more skins.

01:04:11.580 --> 01:04:15.580
Let's have a look at skin number two and I'll see you guys in the next episode.

01:04:15.580 --> 01:04:19.980
This one is so good. It is in my opinion the best skin I've seen so far.

01:04:19.980 --> 01:04:22.460
Yeah, it's really good. It is actually really really nice.

01:04:22.460 --> 01:04:25.500
And of course we don't see the head here but it really reminds me of that option that was available

01:04:25.500 --> 01:04:29.340
for the Siege X bundles with like the high ponytail. That one is one of my favorite parts of it.

01:04:29.340 --> 01:04:33.100
What's the name? There's a steam with like the beasts on each gun by the way.

01:04:33.100 --> 01:04:37.180
Yeah but what I like about it from Fnatic's point of view is they said very true to that color scheme

01:04:37.180 --> 01:04:41.180
of an organization inside of the skin in terms of the branding as well. Really really like that.

01:04:41.180 --> 01:04:46.220
Yeah, always the team of the black and orange obviously I participated to doing the Ibana skin

01:04:46.780 --> 01:04:52.020
The year I was with Nalik they always take a good care of interrogating their players their team

01:04:52.020 --> 01:04:55.300
They really want to know like how the community will feel about their skin

01:04:55.300 --> 01:04:59.260
So I can see that they've you know, live through to that name because if you look at the design

01:04:59.260 --> 01:04:59.900
It's really cool

01:04:59.900 --> 01:05:03.380
And I yeah, just of the fact that they stay true to the back and origin at the same time

01:05:03.380 --> 01:05:05.860
It's it's still I guess a ballsy design

01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:06.900
Yeah, fairly out of interest

01:05:06.900 --> 01:05:12.120
What do you have like influence on is it like the colors the behind the operator or every step through the

01:05:12.240 --> 01:05:16.660
We knew which operator we're gonna get when you were gonna head get Hibana and the idea was back then

01:05:16.660 --> 01:05:22.160
We didn't have as many limited as many options. So we're limited to epic and rare skins

01:05:22.160 --> 01:05:24.020
And you could use the same shape

01:05:24.020 --> 01:05:29.500
But then you could change the textures and so we had this idea with Tyron who was the French designer who came up with it

01:05:29.500 --> 01:05:32.720
So like can I use the mask of Hibana and like show all the tooth?

01:05:32.720 --> 01:05:38.260
And that's where it came from and then from that spend the idea of some kind of ninja shinobi style cool

01:05:38.260 --> 01:05:41.900
I like that you guys were involved in that was so cool as well. Yeah, very very unique

01:05:41.900 --> 01:05:47.580
But we'll have a look at the third skin of the match that came out very very soon then on weather charts

01:05:48.080 --> 01:05:53.720
You think it's fear. Yeah, I think it's fear. Yeah, purely. It's very blocky bold colors on that skin

01:05:53.720 --> 01:05:56.040
If I remember right also, it looks like a PL. Yeah, you know

01:05:57.160 --> 01:06:00.900
That looks like yeah, that kind of looks like anime and I was thinking it has to be like

01:06:00.900 --> 01:06:06.620
Imagine you take your in ranks and you just take a random wallbang some some guys come on a wall

01:06:06.620 --> 01:06:12.140
Killed you and then he's rocking that skin. Yeah, it feels like straight up straight out of Rembo's magic

01:06:12.140 --> 01:06:15.900
Yep, it's a it's the same style very cool. It's wonderful. I love it

01:06:15.900 --> 01:06:20.840
It looks great and definitely my type of skins as bright and colorful and especially as pink as

01:06:21.220 --> 01:06:27.060
As they can get as well looking at the final skin then that we have from these four that came out last Thursday

01:06:27.060 --> 01:06:32.060
What makes you think that's just the color?

01:06:32.060 --> 01:06:35.060
Not the fact that it's a horse on there?

01:06:35.060 --> 01:06:37.060
Is it a horse?

01:06:37.060 --> 01:06:39.060
It doesn't look like a horse.

01:06:39.060 --> 01:06:40.060
That's liquid whole thing.

01:06:40.060 --> 01:06:42.060
Like a little animated horse.

01:06:42.060 --> 01:06:43.060
I'm sorry, but it doesn't look like a horse.

01:06:43.060 --> 01:06:44.060
No, it is a horse. Trust me.

01:06:44.060 --> 01:06:45.060
Yeah, I know.

01:06:45.060 --> 01:06:47.060
Because there's the hair that goes like this.

01:06:47.060 --> 01:06:48.060
Can we get the zoom in one again, please?

01:06:48.060 --> 01:06:52.060
Because I want to point out, you see, it's like a little, like it's me.

01:06:52.060 --> 01:06:54.060
What do you mean that's a horse?

01:06:54.060 --> 01:06:58.860
horse. I can see the ears and then the hair behind it.

01:06:58.860 --> 01:07:03.400
Yeah. And it's like the whole thing. It's obviously not like a one on one horse. It's

01:07:03.400 --> 01:07:07.680
like a... Sorry, I spent too much time on Wikipedia, so I'm used to like full horse.

01:07:07.680 --> 01:07:11.180
Okay. Great excuse there. Yeah, great excuse, right?

01:07:11.180 --> 01:07:15.460
Yeah. Whatever helps you sleep at night. But these were our four skins that came out.

01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:19.180
It's now time for us to dive into these games because one of the skins that came out, they

01:07:19.180 --> 01:07:23.340
actually have a team playing in our matchup as the very first one of the day. Phenetic

01:07:23.340 --> 01:07:27.260
versus G2, as these two organizations in the team will go up against each other,

01:07:27.260 --> 01:07:29.980
and when we saw these two play against each other in group stage,

01:07:29.980 --> 01:07:32.860
it was actually a surprising over time for the player that came out.

01:07:32.860 --> 01:07:36.300
They nearly took down G2, as that would be the first loss that G2 would have faced.

01:07:36.300 --> 01:07:39.500
Super close games. That's why we can't astool the potential from that team.

01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:42.780
I was one of the doubters, and we had a chat with Deepak in interview,

01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:45.420
where he was kind of blaming me for it. I was probably left out.

01:07:45.420 --> 01:07:49.100
I'm happy to be wrong about them. You were trusting them already back then,

01:07:49.100 --> 01:07:51.820
and I think it's the moment where I realized that I was wrong.

01:07:51.820 --> 01:07:53.920
I was like, okay, this team is

01:07:53.920 --> 01:07:54.920
really special. I'm that game

01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:56.120
where they went seven eight as

01:07:56.120 --> 01:07:57.220
well. It was Catholic. Yes, G

01:07:57.220 --> 01:07:58.420
two didn't have a lot on the

01:07:58.420 --> 01:07:59.620
line. Fantastic did actually

01:07:59.620 --> 01:08:00.620
need to win it to get

01:08:00.620 --> 01:08:01.620
themselves higher up. They

01:08:01.620 --> 01:08:02.320
maybe would have finished

01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:03.620
inside of the top four if it

01:08:03.620 --> 01:08:04.920
was a different result, but it

01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:06.320
was a very, very close game is

01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:07.720
what I will say. So if that's

01:08:07.720 --> 01:08:09.220
a blueprint for today, seven

01:08:09.220 --> 01:08:10.620
eight in one best of one, we've

01:08:10.620 --> 01:08:12.420
got three maps today, 45

01:08:12.420 --> 01:08:14.220
rounds, maybe. Blueburn is

01:08:14.220 --> 01:08:16.520
teacher later. I knew it. I knew

01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:18.820
it all along. I'm really

01:08:18.820 --> 01:08:22.820
the end of the video. Back to

01:08:22.820 --> 01:08:23.820
business here because as you

01:08:23.820 --> 01:08:24.820
say, like G2 have a lot more on

01:08:24.820 --> 01:08:26.820
the line today, because it would

01:08:26.820 --> 01:08:27.820
be so weird to see this team

01:08:27.820 --> 01:08:28.820
miss out on EWC after they played

01:08:28.820 --> 01:08:30.820
the final of it last year. I

01:08:30.820 --> 01:08:31.820
feel like they have some kind of

01:08:31.820 --> 01:08:32.820
revenge to get as well. Yeah,

01:08:32.820 --> 01:08:33.820
that's the big thing about it.

01:08:33.820 --> 01:08:35.820
You know, G2 they invented a new

01:08:35.820 --> 01:08:36.820
super team. I suppose you could

01:08:36.820 --> 01:08:38.820
argue this time last year and

01:08:38.820 --> 01:08:39.820
they brought something in. They

01:08:39.820 --> 01:08:41.820
went to EWC maybe without

01:08:41.820 --> 01:08:42.820
actually the expectations of

01:08:42.820 --> 01:08:43.820
being the top dog that event

01:08:43.820 --> 01:08:44.820
and they got all the way to the

01:08:44.820 --> 01:08:45.820
final. They did of course lose

01:08:45.820 --> 01:08:46.820
that finals team secret and what

01:08:46.820 --> 01:08:52.820
secret and what was an epic showdown, but it would then be almost unfathomable to get 12 months

01:08:52.820 --> 01:08:57.140
nearly down the line. And due to a game where they might possibly lose this, they're out. They're

01:08:57.140 --> 01:09:01.860
not going to qualify for a Dmc. And that just wouldn't be right in my opinion, because of the

01:09:01.860 --> 01:09:06.260
expectations of this team and organization. It's the first consequence from the stomping effect.

01:09:06.260 --> 01:09:10.020
The guy on the screen, when he joins you to, I think changed everything for that roster. From

01:09:10.020 --> 01:09:16.020
2024, a team that struggled to make it to every stair event, missed some of them. Eventually they

01:09:16.020 --> 01:09:18.180
They pick up this guy and they look amazing.

01:09:18.180 --> 01:09:22.420
They dominated the ML stage one and they made it to the Grand Finals of the WCF.

01:09:22.420 --> 01:09:26.460
One year down the line, like you said, that investment, it needs to pay off and the maturity

01:09:26.460 --> 01:09:27.460
needs to be there.

01:09:27.460 --> 01:09:28.460
They've also important to Benja.

01:09:28.460 --> 01:09:31.740
They've had further investment in Benja and in Shaiqo as well, so in theory, leveled

01:09:31.740 --> 01:09:35.300
up that team that got to the Grand Final of the WC last year and are now in a position

01:09:35.300 --> 01:09:37.180
where they might not make it.

01:09:37.180 --> 01:09:40.100
After a game yesterday, realistically, that they could have, and you could argue, maybe

01:09:40.100 --> 01:09:42.540
should have won from the positions that they were in.

01:09:42.540 --> 01:09:45.620
Yeah, Moonsum's team were like, it was in their way a lot during that game.

01:09:45.620 --> 01:09:49.900
But we'll talk about their opponents as well because for phonetic honestly, whatever happens today

01:09:49.900 --> 01:09:56.240
They should already be really proud of themselves because what they showed us in group stage was so much better than what we got used to

01:09:56.240 --> 01:09:58.900
Seeing from phonetic over the course of the last few years now

01:09:58.900 --> 01:10:03.700
We've been here years of this point Leo and we've seen fanatic and we've maybe banged our heads against the wall watching fanatic

01:10:03.700 --> 01:10:05.700
I've probably to the last four stages in a row

01:10:06.100 --> 01:10:09.980
Where fanatic really struggles for cumulative points their very first stage in 2024

01:10:09.980 --> 01:10:13.580
They found themselves inside of playoffs in a 19 league 11 points fair enough

01:10:13.580 --> 01:10:42.580
that was a decent upstage from there. It didn't go well. And then 2025, even last, in fact, they didn't actually get to a single playoff game last year in 2025. And we know that they finished in the relegation position in the overall standings. That means that that sets us up to this year. What have they done in 2026? Stage one? Well, they accumulated 15 points, arguably could have been more with some of the games that they played. They put themselves into playoffs, and they've looked a lot better. In fact, this is the first time this organization, since moving back into Europe will play in a match to qualify to an SPR event.

01:10:43.580 --> 01:10:47.900
There is a massive upgrade for Nadek and the main thing is how did they do it?

01:10:47.900 --> 01:10:51.860
What's the reason why we see this team perform to the level they're performing?

01:10:51.860 --> 01:10:53.980
And to me, it's about the roster changes.

01:10:53.980 --> 01:10:58.300
I know we've blamed Nadek for making way too many roster changes, but eventually one was

01:10:58.300 --> 01:10:59.300
going to be right.

01:10:59.300 --> 01:11:03.140
And I think that the one day he made three different players added to the roster, but

01:11:03.140 --> 01:11:04.820
in a really good way.

01:11:04.820 --> 01:11:09.700
Deepak retained as one of the oldest experienced players, the backbone of the team playing

01:11:09.700 --> 01:11:10.700
a support role.

01:11:10.700 --> 01:11:13.420
And most of the time playing the suicide position as well, really well.

01:11:13.420 --> 01:11:17.660
On top of that, they get Smith, a young rookie that has great game vision, but most importantly,

01:11:17.660 --> 01:11:20.260
someone who can play shields in a GSMETA.

01:11:20.260 --> 01:11:23.260
And boom, there you go, he can have shot calls, he can play shields.

01:11:23.260 --> 01:11:28.620
Wizard, young rookie, last stage, played super well for Fnatic, great flex player, retain

01:11:28.620 --> 01:11:32.740
him on the roster, and then add a spearhead, a spearhead that is experienced, and that

01:11:32.740 --> 01:11:36.500
can provide fragging power consistently, that is citizen led shot.

01:11:36.500 --> 01:11:41.260
And on top of that, finally add an additional staff behind Titan, an assistant coach that

01:11:41.260 --> 01:11:42.340
can help the team.

01:11:42.340 --> 01:11:45.340
A lot of investment has been made, and so far it's paid off.

01:11:45.340 --> 01:11:49.340
Yeah, and as we of course expect the next two have been watching that game yesterday,

01:11:49.340 --> 01:11:52.840
where G2 played and we start on drop down to the lower brackets.

01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:57.340
Watching that game, is there anything you think that that it could take away on how to beat G2?

01:11:57.340 --> 01:12:00.840
I think so, yeah. So G2 are well known to play in a split fashion.

01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.340
They will put individuals in all areas of the map and look to find a gap.

01:12:04.340 --> 01:12:08.840
So if we look at how Falcons dealt with it really well yesterday, they played Night Heaven Lamps.

01:12:08.840 --> 01:12:13.920
They banned the ace and they banned for thermite. So they play the cave and the denarii with this set up in connect

01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:15.920
That goes all the way through to electric

01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:19.600
They put the is army in catwalk which is fairly standard as well when it's available

01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:24.360
But what does that mean to G2? Well, they've got to play the maverick. That means they're gonna be slow first performance

01:12:24.360 --> 01:12:25.080
They can't just lurk

01:12:25.080 --> 01:12:27.320
They can't just find a gap from every side at once

01:12:27.320 --> 01:12:28.880
Benja did manage to find it early

01:12:28.880 --> 01:12:30.520
They've only found a gap and then he got shut back down

01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:33.640
But then you get into a two versus three scenario and you've got a smoke

01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:34.640
So what can you do with the smoke?

01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:39.120
You can smoke off the catwalk and then you can peek it with the smoke, get it back to 2 vs 2.

01:12:39.120 --> 01:12:43.600
And now this is where the utility element of playing against split comes into play.

01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:46.320
The denarii, the twitch manages to get through the denarii trap,

01:12:46.320 --> 01:12:48.240
but keep your eye on the one that reactivates.

01:12:48.240 --> 01:12:51.680
And then the other player comes in the electric window and has to tank the denarii trap.

01:12:51.680 --> 01:12:55.520
Of course the slowing effect, the damage, twitch actually drops itself back into it.

01:12:55.520 --> 01:12:58.640
And ultimately because both of the G2 attackers are now slowed,

01:12:58.640 --> 01:12:59.920
they're known where they're coming from.

01:12:59.920 --> 01:13:04.160
There isn't necessarily a gap, even though it's 1 vs 2, Falcons managed to find a way to win it.

01:13:04.160 --> 01:13:07.760
Now, that is a blueprint in my mind for how Fnatic should try and play their defenses.

01:13:07.760 --> 01:13:12.960
They want to shut down any opportunity, particularly for Benja, to be finding a luck into the side.

01:13:12.960 --> 01:13:16.240
We've seen two ingredients there. We've seen the 1v1 taken by the Smoke.

01:13:16.240 --> 01:13:19.040
Why is he given a 1v1? Because of the playstyle of T2.

01:13:19.040 --> 01:13:20.960
If they play split, they will be spread around the map.

01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:22.560
And so these 1v1s, you can take them.

01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:26.960
The second ingredient you just mentioned, the utility, as many layers as you can have

01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:31.440
will help you isolate the players and force you to try to problem solve things.

01:13:31.440 --> 01:13:35.040
because when you're alone facing a denarii, you have to call someone to come help you,

01:13:35.040 --> 01:13:37.760
and that's a big problem for G2 when everyone is spread out.

01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:39.680
Yes, we just need to know one more thing though.

01:13:39.680 --> 01:13:43.280
What three maps are selected for our best three between these two teams?

01:13:43.280 --> 01:13:44.560
Would you go back to Cafe?

01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:47.680
As of the start-up potentially, Lair is going to be our first one in the series.

01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:49.360
Yeah, I'm not surprised with Synthetic Picket.

01:13:49.360 --> 01:13:54.320
They're on a four-win streak on the map, but the main thing here, Jack, obviously G2 are the favorites.

01:13:54.320 --> 01:13:56.000
You're going to tell me something about it later on now.

01:13:56.000 --> 01:13:58.240
Well, Synthetic, yes, it's a four-win streak,

01:13:58.240 --> 01:14:00.640
but it's a four-win streak against teams like Team Secret,

01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:03.440
In heretics, G2 are also on a four-win streak.

01:14:03.440 --> 01:14:05.040
You know what, do you want to know the names?

01:14:05.040 --> 01:14:06.040
Oh, tell me.

01:14:06.040 --> 01:14:07.040
Faith Clan.

01:14:07.040 --> 01:14:08.040
Oh.

01:14:08.040 --> 01:14:09.040
M80.

01:14:09.040 --> 01:14:10.040
Oh.

01:14:10.040 --> 01:14:11.040
Tarkens.

01:14:11.040 --> 01:14:12.040
Oh.

01:14:12.040 --> 01:14:13.040
Yeah.

01:14:13.040 --> 01:14:14.040
Some of the biggest teams in the world.

01:14:14.040 --> 01:14:16.040
They beat the biggest teams in the world in that map, so obviously, picking into that,

01:14:16.040 --> 01:14:19.040
giving G2 the same choice as well, that's going to be rough.

01:14:19.040 --> 01:14:22.040
What I'll all say is I can't see the favorite because I can't see the defensive layer and

01:14:22.040 --> 01:14:25.040
I can't see that it's been a map that Fnatic have been successful on.

01:14:25.040 --> 01:14:28.320
So I know why they would want to go there and just back in the hubs, but it just so happens

01:14:28.320 --> 01:14:32.160
that the map pull event probably sits with G2. As we get to Shaleh, that is a map that

01:14:32.160 --> 01:14:36.120
maybe suits G2 style a lot more in terms of playing split, in terms of finding gaps in

01:14:36.120 --> 01:14:39.320
times of playing with the pace. That map really suits them well.

01:14:39.320 --> 01:14:43.400
And history has proved that Static are struggling hard on that map and this is why it's super

01:14:43.400 --> 01:14:47.480
important for them to win Lair. Because if they go and lose Lair, they go to Shaleh, one

01:14:47.480 --> 01:14:50.160
of their worst maps, at this point it can be a 2-0.

01:14:50.160 --> 01:14:54.120
Yeah, something we've seen a lot as well where we talk about teams winning their own

01:14:54.120 --> 01:14:57.260
map pick. You kind of expect

01:14:57.260 --> 01:14:57.860
that to be happening inside

01:14:57.860 --> 01:14:59.220
of the series as well with so

01:14:59.220 --> 01:15:01.220
much on the line. But with our

01:15:01.220 --> 01:15:03.220
castors, though, as we are

01:15:03.220 --> 01:15:05.220
joined by fluke and demo for

01:15:05.220 --> 01:15:07.220
our first game of the day.

01:15:07.220 --> 01:15:08.220
Best of three is always exciting

01:15:08.220 --> 01:15:09.220
when we get these in email

01:15:09.220 --> 01:15:11.220
because it shows which of the

01:15:11.220 --> 01:15:13.220
two teams is the better team.

01:15:13.220 --> 01:15:15.220
Yeah, I think it's fair. I you

01:15:15.220 --> 01:15:17.220
know, you look obviously towards

01:15:17.220 --> 01:15:19.220
the map selection here and.

01:15:19.220 --> 01:15:21.220
Good luck fanatic. I think it's

01:15:21.220 --> 01:15:23.220
the easiest sort of way until

01:15:23.220 --> 01:15:27.060
I would agree. I think you look

01:15:27.160 --> 01:15:27.760
at layer. I have to hark on the

01:15:27.860 --> 01:15:31.260
jacks point. I think he's hit

01:15:31.360 --> 01:15:31.960
it right. Nail ahead, but I don't

01:15:32.060 --> 01:15:33.200
have to believe themselves.

01:15:33.300 --> 01:15:35.200
Yes, it may be a good map for

01:15:35.300 --> 01:15:37.200
G2, but in this league, you're

01:15:37.300 --> 01:15:38.200
always going to back yourself

01:15:38.300 --> 01:15:40.200
and say that we can win this.

01:15:40.300 --> 01:15:41.200
We can beat G2, and you're going

01:15:41.300 --> 01:15:43.200
to want to do that on your most

01:15:43.300 --> 01:15:44.200
preferred map. And obviously for

01:15:44.300 --> 01:15:45.200
layer, they're going to have that

01:15:45.300 --> 01:15:46.200
confidence. They're going to have

01:15:46.300 --> 01:15:47.200
that morale. They know they want

01:15:47.300 --> 01:15:49.200
it before. Yes, it may be against

01:15:49.300 --> 01:15:50.200
lesser opponents, but they're

01:15:50.300 --> 01:15:51.200
still winning the map. And I think

01:15:51.300 --> 01:15:52.200
that's what it's all about. It's

01:15:52.200 --> 01:15:56.200
All right, and then you maybe have to fake it till you make it forthletic in this case

01:15:56.200 --> 01:16:00.740
Believe is so important for them in this oh so important matchup. And it's all yours

01:16:02.480 --> 01:16:06.000
Thank you very much and the wonderful team in there

01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:08.320
and I

01:16:08.320 --> 01:16:14.220
Would like the well, okay? I'll talk about this first down to do my joke search prediction 76% of people back G2

01:16:14.220 --> 01:16:17.840
That doesn't surprise me. However, I'm around. What do you get?

01:16:19.400 --> 01:16:20.640
What?

01:16:20.640 --> 01:16:26.300
What's the seven six run? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not falling for that this early

01:16:26.300 --> 01:16:28.300
It has to come up naturally because I

01:16:28.940 --> 01:16:32.260
Nibbius in the world. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go the

01:16:33.900 --> 01:16:38.140
That's a lot of you the back to do I mean the fact that obviously financing almost pushed you to the brink

01:16:38.900 --> 01:16:45.860
Seven days ago. That is the third map in the series. Maybe if we get to that map that will be a little bit more balanced, but

01:16:45.860 --> 01:16:49.860
That's a tough first route on the road.

01:16:49.860 --> 01:16:56.580
Anyway, I think a lot of problems that that studio would ever face, the problems that

01:16:56.580 --> 01:17:02.820
they do have or don't have, would be solved if Anne always had a gun.

01:17:02.820 --> 01:17:05.700
I think Anne should always be armed.

01:17:05.700 --> 01:17:09.700
And the other two, the boys can just make do with it.

01:17:09.700 --> 01:17:11.220
Ungrub your gun.

01:17:11.220 --> 01:17:14.580
Anne, get a gun, girl.

01:17:14.580 --> 01:17:20.260
Anyway, here we are trying to find out which of these two teams is going to progress, get

01:17:20.260 --> 01:17:24.580
themselves an international spot, and which one unfortunately will have things full short.

01:17:24.580 --> 01:17:29.380
G2 unbeaten until they were as weird as the statement is to make.

01:17:29.380 --> 01:17:32.180
That was one that just got me, dang it.

01:17:32.180 --> 01:17:36.300
And that was a bit to the other day, yesterday, and now there's a chance to see if they can

01:17:36.300 --> 01:17:42.980
try and bounce back, prove a point, or unfortunately go unbeaten and then have it all slip away

01:17:42.980 --> 01:17:51.060
I think a bit of a shocker, which I know may sound strange considering it was Team Balkans

01:17:51.060 --> 01:17:55.740
at G2, I forget, but I think everyone mostly were back in G2 and you've seen the social

01:17:55.740 --> 01:17:59.260
projection come up before the game started, everyone was going in for G2.

01:17:59.260 --> 01:18:02.900
Just because they were on a form that G2 have had at the stage, if you look at Falcons,

01:18:02.900 --> 01:18:06.740
they looked weak at some point during the stage, but Falcons come in and they do the

01:18:06.740 --> 01:18:11.300
business over G2, a little bit of a wobble, I think from G2 especially whenever they won

01:18:11.300 --> 01:18:14.500
the first map so convincingly you kind of thought oh this shall be you know

01:18:14.500 --> 01:18:20.500
quick for g2 to oh job done but here they are they're down now against fanatics

01:18:20.500 --> 01:18:23.900
not what they were probably expecting but they have to go again they have to

01:18:23.900 --> 01:18:28.940
try and bounce back yesterday quick drive here towards the top not wasting

01:18:28.940 --> 01:18:34.980
any time putting pressure on the side of ops yeah and then she's hitting the side hitting the pressure and sort of keeping them

01:18:34.980 --> 01:18:41.500
Oh wow, there's the double X-hooks standing, so it's gonna be sort of painless to get through these walls, it's well predicted in practice,

01:18:41.500 --> 01:18:49.140
and obviously it's kind of expected. That's why you've got the smoke, the tachanka, the range that we talk about for a long, long time here.

01:18:49.140 --> 01:18:53.140
Pressure on the shield, they're aware of these Army and the Keepers, but it's Stompin's position.

01:18:53.140 --> 01:18:59.020
Might need to be forced out first. Here comes the breach, the split on the other side, has the impact checker.

01:18:59.020 --> 01:19:01.360
Oh, it's not gonna work.

01:19:01.360 --> 01:19:03.340
Deadshot predicted practice.

01:19:03.340 --> 01:19:05.300
Citizen finds Doki.

01:19:05.300 --> 01:19:08.940
There's a pair of names we've said many, many times over the years.

01:19:08.940 --> 01:19:11.540
This is the one where they're against each other now.

01:19:11.540 --> 01:19:12.940
Five versus three.

01:19:12.940 --> 01:19:14.980
They're trying to re-fight here over the top,

01:19:14.980 --> 01:19:16.180
but there's one more for Withered.

01:19:16.180 --> 01:19:18.460
Alamau's gone. They've lost the smoke.

01:19:18.460 --> 01:19:21.900
Both the remaining G2 players on the slivers of hell.

01:19:21.900 --> 01:19:23.100
Fnatic.

01:19:23.100 --> 01:19:25.220
They might be able to open up with a flawless here.

01:19:25.220 --> 01:19:26.060
They are!

01:19:26.060 --> 01:19:37.260
What a dream start. Fantastic from Fnatic G2. Oh dear, what has happened? Now look, we obviously talk

01:19:37.260 --> 01:19:41.580
about that top floor. We know that it's always going to be a bit of a struggle for the attackers.

01:19:41.580 --> 01:19:46.780
You have to go through the smoke and the Chanka combination. It's just going to slow you down.

01:19:46.780 --> 01:19:52.380
It means that time becomes very valuable. Now, in that circumstance for Fnatic, they've realized

01:19:52.380 --> 01:19:57.740
what their ring con is. It's move quickly, try and open up things fast, get the walls opened up,

01:19:57.740 --> 01:20:01.660
move in, go for that plant, leave yourselves as much time as possible. Now for G2, they played

01:20:01.660 --> 01:20:04.780
that great default. Yeah, you've got the smoke, you've got the chanke, you've got a player in

01:20:04.780 --> 01:20:10.060
towards mezz, you've got the the isami, this position that Shai goes in, in behind that table.

01:20:10.060 --> 01:20:14.620
All tricky positions that you have to try and work around with the attackers. They move fast,

01:20:14.620 --> 01:20:18.220
and yes they maybe got a little fortunate with the fact that Shai goes out of his position,

01:20:18.220 --> 01:20:21.900
was out of the safety of the Kibber Barriers, exposed himself to the breach.

01:20:24.060 --> 01:20:27.340
But for Fnatic, it was all about the time management. They knew they needed to hit it fast

01:20:27.340 --> 01:20:32.300
and hit it hard, and maybe that's what surprised G2, was the actual pace that Fnatic were moving

01:20:32.300 --> 01:20:36.940
there. And then they lose that opening pick, and G2, we've seen it before, they do get in the habit

01:20:36.940 --> 01:20:41.020
where they feel as though they need to go and pull kills back in their favor. Just can't step back,

01:20:41.020 --> 01:20:46.300
they will try and go aggro. They will try and get their feet on the ground. It's very common

01:20:46.300 --> 01:20:56.740
of gt to do that and sometimes it works sometimes that happens so 24% or whatever it was looking

01:20:56.740 --> 01:21:04.380
slightly better 23% I remember the other side of the joke was it 20 how does maths work

01:21:04.380 --> 01:21:15.900
Oh, right. I had to flip the numbers. I'm sorry, I almost said it again. I did almost

01:21:15.900 --> 01:21:21.580
get it. Maybe I am an idiot. Still in a robot. So the robot smashes and now Benja has no way

01:21:21.580 --> 01:21:26.700
of getting home. Oh no. You're gonna have to sort of play this to stick around and you

01:21:26.700 --> 01:21:31.980
You can see the sort of worry popped in and yeah, there it goes.

01:21:31.980 --> 01:21:34.460
Oh, that's a waste of a robot.

01:21:34.460 --> 01:21:39.660
Imagine if the Bravo could actually just become the roof while that would have been...

01:21:39.660 --> 01:21:41.660
Oh, that would make things very interesting.

01:21:41.660 --> 01:21:43.660
Oh, but...

01:21:43.660 --> 01:21:45.260
I can see why they haven't done it.

01:21:45.260 --> 01:21:49.820
I can see why, because it would be problematic this is the best way.

01:21:49.820 --> 01:21:55.180
But yeah, not a great start for G2, Benjit, losing his only way back to site and he is

01:21:55.180 --> 01:21:59.220
all the way in towards that top floor. So I mean, I guess for that, what we fastly was

01:21:59.220 --> 01:22:00.580
right hit site immediately.

01:22:00.580 --> 01:22:04.820
And Benji could be well caught out. That's why he's on that scope, which give himself

01:22:04.820 --> 01:22:06.820
that easy TV support team.

01:22:06.820 --> 01:22:07.820
It could be rushed.

01:22:07.820 --> 01:22:14.140
Wow, there's the player, the smoke is trying to pull themselves back. And as you said,

01:22:14.140 --> 01:22:18.300
the rush is sort of coming and you can see how it is trying to rebuild pressure. It's

01:22:18.300 --> 01:22:22.420
just unending. Obviously, two shields banned. They're still going to make use of the third

01:22:22.420 --> 01:22:27.300
here he's trying to fade out the fire and the blind he somehow wins it he's out of the room he's

01:22:27.300 --> 01:22:31.140
got to fight his way back in but that's what's there for the cover smith's caught out still

01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:36.100
getting one but his d-pack closes down onto a stomping and for a second those romas where are

01:22:36.100 --> 01:22:45.140
you too late they know you're coming as well absolutely brilliant start the doki might be

01:22:45.140 --> 01:22:50.580
that terrifying end gets to now the pins are still coming out the track they have this dp

01:22:50.580 --> 01:22:54.740
that was obviously doing a lot of work there. We're leading in, Doki on the swing, Deku's going

01:22:54.740 --> 01:22:58.820
for the plant on the cover, there's only a single player sort of watching on towards it now and he's

01:22:58.820 --> 01:23:02.660
hoping to try and get the catch, it's traded back and forth, he's just dead shot to Doki.

01:23:04.580 --> 01:23:07.620
One versus one, pulls off the plant, 30 seconds.

01:23:08.980 --> 01:23:14.740
Dead shot hasn't had the cleanest of seasons so far, Doki, he's always capable, he's always

01:23:14.740 --> 01:23:19.140
able to knock his way in but it's the sort of play into the form when the Fanatic team is informed,

01:23:19.140 --> 01:23:24.660
dead shot has been that MVP and he might be able to keep the sort of run going here. Doki

01:23:25.540 --> 01:23:29.780
slips over to another side. It's a baiting game, but he's only got one more of those left and he's

01:23:29.780 --> 01:23:36.660
used it at that point. He's keeping himself just out of touch, out of range. And out of the nightmares,

01:23:36.660 --> 01:23:45.700
G2, level things up. Oh, Doki holds his ground, that 1v1 means that new world record for them

01:23:45.700 --> 01:23:48.820
They might have attempted plants in the one round, I don't know.

01:23:48.820 --> 01:23:50.860
Just deadshot just kept coming off it,

01:23:50.860 --> 01:23:54.220
and there was certainly a moment where he couldn't have stuck it.

01:23:54.220 --> 01:23:58.380
No, didn't have the confidence to make it stick.

01:23:58.380 --> 01:24:01.260
What can he say about Doki?

01:24:01.260 --> 01:24:03.180
Saved his team here.

01:24:03.180 --> 01:24:04.620
You know, for G2, wasn't great.

01:24:04.620 --> 01:24:07.100
I mean, this is a 2v4.

01:24:07.100 --> 01:24:08.580
That's the kill right there on the cities,

01:24:08.580 --> 01:24:12.060
and that's what made it for Doki.

01:24:12.060 --> 01:24:14.620
Twins, so many individual engagements.

01:24:23.260 --> 01:24:24.700
Oh, two very different...

01:24:24.700 --> 01:24:25.740
I was killed there.

01:24:25.740 --> 01:24:29.420
Hey, slightly different vibes across the back.

01:24:29.420 --> 01:24:30.460
That's like the boss,

01:24:30.460 --> 01:24:32.300
London's looking out the happy window,

01:24:32.300 --> 01:24:34.140
while the other one's towards the sad.

01:24:34.140 --> 01:24:35.260
We're just driving.

01:24:37.820 --> 01:24:39.500
Yeah, I mean that was...

01:24:39.500 --> 01:24:46.500
It was an attempt to end, but I love the pace of the figure applying in this game.

01:24:46.500 --> 01:24:48.500
That's so so good.

01:24:48.500 --> 01:24:50.500
I mean, that's a very fanatic-esque round.

01:24:50.500 --> 01:24:54.500
How many times do we see them getting into situations and they just can't get over the line?

01:24:54.500 --> 01:25:00.500
That's always been a kind of sticker that has just been slapped on the fanatic.

01:25:00.500 --> 01:25:04.500
It's, you know, closing out rounds that they should be closing out, struggle with it,

01:25:04.500 --> 01:25:06.500
and it's happened to them again.

01:25:06.500 --> 01:25:13.180
I don't think their kind of first half of the round has went their way both times certainly fanatic has dominated in the early game

01:25:14.420 --> 01:25:18.540
I'll see what G2 can do as they head back upstairs. This is the bombsite where

01:25:19.620 --> 01:25:25.120
Natick made it look pretty easy to fear from below to remove strong position in towards tables

01:25:25.120 --> 01:25:34.200
See that?

01:25:34.200 --> 01:25:37.160
Kind of preparing to go for this quick break.

01:25:37.160 --> 01:25:39.520
There's a fear.

01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:43.040
Just once the sort of clarity that Smith's probably is going to drive on.

01:25:43.040 --> 01:25:44.040
You can see that.

01:25:44.040 --> 01:25:46.960
The blitz getting themselves ready on the swing on the door.

01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:48.280
They have guns over the shoulder.

01:25:48.280 --> 01:25:52.480
They want to try and shocken all of them and just force the player to maybe overextend

01:25:52.480 --> 01:25:53.880
as the floor opens up.

01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:58.800
Nobody directly competing for their ground here as well. There's the break. There's the pop and there's the player

01:25:59.520 --> 01:26:04.040
Gone and removed. Okay, show them the meantime stuff. There's a bit of damage

01:26:07.600 --> 01:26:09.600
Really worried that

01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:12.600
The approach maybe that's trying to stop the shield. Maybe that's trying to stop

01:26:13.320 --> 01:26:15.320
Going off on the wall

01:26:15.320 --> 01:26:19.080
Make that two for two, they're just about to go!

01:26:21.080 --> 01:26:25.600
He has sacrificed himself once again on this top floor.

01:26:26.760 --> 01:26:27.760
Oh, fanatic.

01:26:28.120 --> 01:26:31.240
He's turning on the burners once more on this bomb site.

01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:33.000
In goes the Blitz.

01:26:33.160 --> 01:26:36.400
He's misleading the charge, let's trap so he has to be careful of that Razerblum.

01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:39.760
Will slow down Apple this smoke, but doesn't matter, his teammates clean up house.

01:26:40.120 --> 01:26:42.280
Two players remaining, Alamo and Benja.

01:26:42.280 --> 01:26:47.880
It's just gonna be the one player remaining Alomar from the 1v5, not another fall.

01:26:47.880 --> 01:26:52.920
Surely not here for Fnatic, they're electric on this top floor.

01:26:52.920 --> 01:26:58.200
Alomar's gonna try and just wait and hope that he goes unknown, but even if he gets one kill,

01:26:58.200 --> 01:26:59.880
surely they're gonna know it.

01:26:59.880 --> 01:27:02.360
Here's one, and they should come off the platform there.

01:27:02.360 --> 01:27:04.520
Yeah, here comes the Blitz and no chance.

01:27:04.520 --> 01:27:05.560
Rall him out!

01:27:05.560 --> 01:27:07.320
Too easy for Fnatic again.

01:27:07.320 --> 01:27:15.320
I mean, just brilliant from Fnatic here, right?

01:27:15.320 --> 01:27:16.820
How much of it is preparedness?

01:27:16.820 --> 01:27:21.000
How much of it is a sort of G2?

01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:22.500
Not expecting this much fight.

01:27:22.500 --> 01:27:29.400
It's so worth talking about the fact that obviously a week ago went to MaxOT, went as

01:27:29.400 --> 01:27:34.360
far as a game could go, really put the pressure in, Fnatic couldn't quite close it out then.

01:27:34.360 --> 01:27:39.720
Now here, where it matters the most, Fnatic have looked sharper and sharper, Fnatic obviously

01:27:39.720 --> 01:27:48.760
were able to sort of sit back and watch yesterday, pick up, learn lessons, and then here, on

01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:53.920
the other side of it, G2, all that energy from the season, that pressure that they thought

01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:56.200
they'd alleviated by playing permanently.

01:27:56.200 --> 01:27:58.720
I mean, yeah, it's a yeshiko.

01:28:00.520 --> 01:28:01.720
Needs to know better.

01:28:01.720 --> 01:28:04.760
It's been quite a twice-tack right now, mm-hmm.

01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:06.280
Especially in a position that he flies.

01:28:06.280 --> 01:28:08.200
I mean, that's a tricky one, you need nades.

01:28:08.200 --> 01:28:11.000
Yes, I think if they, let's see what they bounce.

01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:12.480
What do you want to bounce?

01:28:12.480 --> 01:28:13.600
He's just having a good time.

01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:16.360
He's just here, I'm gonna,

01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:19.160
what I really like about Fanatic

01:28:19.160 --> 01:28:21.840
and the style of the stage that they're flying here in Lyon

01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:24.480
is I'm seeing multiple three-two-one moments.

01:28:24.480 --> 01:28:26.280
Yeah, we're at different parts of the round.

01:28:26.280 --> 01:28:29.640
You know, you look at that top floor, the tables,

01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:30.800
they waited, they waited, they waited,

01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:33.000
they had Sophia below, they had the blitz on the door.

01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:34.240
Three, two, one, go.

01:28:34.240 --> 01:28:35.520
You've taken that, Frank.

01:28:35.520 --> 01:28:36.640
They wait, they wait, they wait.

01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:38.560
Next one is gonna be taking them towards mezz.

01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:39.880
Three, two, one, go.

01:28:39.880 --> 01:28:42.080
And finally, setting up gear for the plaque.

01:28:42.080 --> 01:28:43.680
Three, two, one, go.

01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:46.200
It's, they're working together as a unit.

01:28:46.200 --> 01:28:49.320
There's no individuals that are being caught out.

01:28:49.320 --> 01:28:51.400
There's nobody straying behind.

01:28:51.400 --> 01:28:54.040
Everyone is moving with a purpose from Fnatic.

01:28:59.140 --> 01:28:59.640
G2?

01:29:00.280 --> 01:29:01.680
We're only going back there, sort of.

01:29:02.180 --> 01:29:05.380
It begins to creep into your mind now, obviously.

01:29:05.380 --> 01:29:06.800
It's been well there.

01:29:06.800 --> 01:29:10.580
They now have three shield bands, so the change of the blitz might be something, obviously.

01:29:10.920 --> 01:29:11.880
Another smoke ban.

01:29:12.320 --> 01:29:14.440
Which is probably the forward Kemetatary, you know?

01:29:15.140 --> 01:29:18.960
It's kind of the balance, because the smoke wasn't really popping in massively, but

01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:23.500
The Blitz seemed to just be running the front line, right?

01:29:23.500 --> 01:29:24.000
It...

01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:30.520
I have to use the words scared of these players, but the way they would quickly peel back light from the Blitz,

01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:33.280
the way they sort of expected to jump over the shoulder.

01:29:34.560 --> 01:29:39.640
I kind of want to make sure that Fnatic keeps that energy. Obviously, they've got Smith now on the fuse.

01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:46.400
So they've sort of kept the mentality running. I'm not going to say it's the most sort of structured and playable.

01:29:46.400 --> 01:29:51.400
There, the C4 is trying to hit somebody who is trying to get near the side of the keyboard.

01:29:51.400 --> 01:29:53.400
It can work out, but...

01:29:53.400 --> 01:29:56.400
Winston's found his way towards the side of the site.

01:29:57.400 --> 01:29:59.400
He's just going to get that opened up, and...

01:29:59.400 --> 01:30:03.400
Well, you can see that obviously Benjo will be feeding all of this back.

01:30:03.400 --> 01:30:04.400
Now, now, why?

01:30:04.400 --> 01:30:07.400
The citizen gets the opener, gets green stares, and...

01:30:07.400 --> 01:30:08.400
Fanatic.

01:30:08.400 --> 01:30:12.400
If I was worried about caution and pace, they just found opportunity and looked the outline,

01:30:12.400 --> 01:30:13.400
looked at control.

01:30:13.400 --> 01:30:16.200
stop it's gonna try and contest and it's a big moment he's

01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:22.300
through for one he can't quite connect on to the shield but Doki gets the other and now that shield is very isolated

01:30:22.960 --> 01:30:28.960
Can't quite hop their way out covering with a smoke canister instead going up to the repellent kill but he can't connect it

01:30:28.960 --> 01:30:34.440
And in the meantime Doki goes down they're worried about slipping their way back in they know the press is gonna come around the other side

01:30:34.440 --> 01:30:40.960
They're buying time so the player above can get back up. It's a good bit of attention drive and he drives his way out of there

01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:47.840
he's still thirsting for more stopping. With that, that he's drawn all this attention aggro

01:30:47.840 --> 01:30:54.720
like a tank. He's put all of the focus on him. And he's slipped away, leaving just

01:30:54.720 --> 01:31:03.840
Smith's last fine one. There's three more to get, dammit. There were a low HP, and that pistol

01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:08.480
has packed quite a punch, but as long as you two can just play the trade game or maybe

01:31:08.480 --> 01:31:14.680
I could just catches them running upstairs and that'll be the round, but all of that back of stomping and I

01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:21.820
Think that that work kind of shows the place to legit to remember I mentioned before they're a team where if they lose the opening

01:31:21.820 --> 01:31:25.340
Pick they will try and get that kill back in some way shape or form

01:31:25.700 --> 01:31:32.520
They lose Alamo in the 4v5 and what did they do? They say, okay, let's target these players in towards green

01:31:32.520 --> 01:31:37.120
and Benjy was obviously in the most kind of dangerous position because he's in the middle

01:31:37.120 --> 01:31:40.520
of the bomb site, walls are being opened up around him, if he dies you lose the site

01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:42.440
player and we all know what happens then.

01:31:42.440 --> 01:31:46.240
teammates start getting a little bit panicky because nobody's in the site they could just

01:31:46.240 --> 01:31:49.960
kind of rush in and can't really do much to stop that so they have to go aggressive

01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:54.040
and that's what stopping those, catches them, just as fanatic or getting kind of set up

01:31:54.040 --> 01:31:59.880
for the mix 3 2 1, he's in creating issues, backshot on the deadshot is disgusting by the

01:31:59.880 --> 01:32:03.320
way probably should have killed the guy in the refell as well don't forget but he made up for that

01:32:07.160 --> 01:32:10.360
but it was huge as as coral said it's huge from zack

01:32:12.600 --> 01:32:17.560
there was the element as i said you know you could obviously you had to play it down above

01:32:17.560 --> 01:32:20.200
you had to keep us down they were trying to get the recover against the man

01:32:21.560 --> 01:32:27.240
him staying outside just licking up and then losing that moment to rotate back in

01:32:27.240 --> 01:32:32.920
I, you know, I love the Divergent Tactics. I love the look at me. I love that sort of

01:32:34.800 --> 01:32:39.880
Hero moment you could say of and then getting a kill of getting out of there. It was

01:32:41.680 --> 01:32:49.040
You know everything you could need back down towards the basement this one started obviously with a

01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.000
Lot of fanatic control. They sort of go into I think it was a four versus two situation

01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:59.040
And Doki picks up a double, and then obviously wins the 1v1 eventually as well.

01:32:59.040 --> 01:33:04.160
It's that sort of tread that you two need to be aware of that Fnatic have still kept

01:33:04.160 --> 01:33:05.160
a very pacing game.

01:33:05.160 --> 01:33:12.240
They've really been cut out to the metal in here, eyes on towards Warehouse, and maybe

01:33:12.240 --> 01:33:14.240
a little bit direct.

01:33:14.240 --> 01:33:19.320
First time we haven't really got a shield, and we'll see if this is something that works

01:33:19.320 --> 01:33:26.760
towards their favor or not, but the LAS instead of a big sort of change you could say in the

01:33:27.400 --> 01:33:33.480
role that Smith is playing this round. I think the important thing as well to remember for Fnatic,

01:33:33.480 --> 01:33:37.160
they still have got the defense to come, you know, that's their preferred side, that's where they've had

01:33:38.280 --> 01:33:43.480
a better time in their Lair games, but it's not to say that their attacks aren't great either,

01:33:43.480 --> 01:33:47.400
I think they're putting on a really good display here at the moment. This could be a very important

01:33:47.400 --> 01:33:53.280
around a fanatic and I just keep that lead that of course establish. And I can do this

01:33:53.280 --> 01:33:59.480
direct take coming in for the horizontal side and I will see if fanatic can make things

01:33:59.480 --> 01:34:04.040
move. Smith doesn't have the shield but he still has a very strong operator in the form

01:34:04.040 --> 01:34:10.360
of a glass. Try to back go Benji, able to take down Citizen. I got a fight here, Doki,

01:34:10.360 --> 01:34:15.160
up against Wizards. Benji Benji never mind, Benji! He's up against Wizards, Nate goes

01:34:15.160 --> 01:34:32.520
in? Did he pull out the shotgun? Oh, what a scrappy engagement that trade! Or two! That's

01:34:32.520 --> 01:34:37.320
a cheaper wizard! Maybe! Wow, now the D-Pax is going to get a kill onto the site and they

01:34:37.320 --> 01:34:40.880
know that Doki's above it, so three versus one down there. No, make that a three versus

01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:47.320
nobody. Now they can just get this plant secure to solace doing their best. Obviously that

01:34:47.320 --> 01:34:54.320
big engagement above us a drive. So is that Fanatic. They've been able to take one of

01:34:54.320 --> 01:35:02.200
the sites they lost. They've got three rounds now demo. Yeah, he's looking good for Fanatic.

01:35:02.200 --> 01:35:04.960
Again very straight to the point here for Fanatic. I don't think they're pulling any

01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:11.200
punches in terms of the takes that they're going for, it's all direct. That time, I think

01:35:11.200 --> 01:35:14.560
they just add it in, having a soul stick up there to deal with the roamers by himself.

01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:19.160
And I suppose that is a difficult job, I think, for Wizard, knowing that it's you and you

01:35:19.160 --> 01:35:23.640
only. Nobody's going to be with you for trades, a lot of pressure. You have to win your individual

01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:30.000
gauge, sometimes you have to win 1v2s. But he done enough for you, he was able to find

01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:34.400
one of the roamers that then dragged Doki out of position and the rest of his team just

01:35:34.400 --> 01:35:42.760
kept playing direct and he spent less of a charge initially with the glass and yeah there's

01:35:42.760 --> 01:35:49.360
very very solid you know you kind of look at the lineup as well that g2 are bringing

01:35:49.360 --> 01:35:54.840
and I kind of look at it and think you know a goya wouldn't go miss here of how direct

01:35:54.840 --> 01:35:56.840
as well, like being playing on the basement.

01:35:56.840 --> 01:35:58.840
Yeah.

01:35:58.840 --> 01:36:01.840
No, I think it's a great shout, I think.

01:36:01.840 --> 01:36:03.840
Obviously, we always get the benefit of being like,

01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:06.840
we can see how they're approaching, we can see that it's very direct,

01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:11.840
we can see that it's sort of also kind of singularly direct, right?

01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:14.840
They're not doing a lot of, you know, split theory,

01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:16.840
obviously there's somebody on the road,

01:36:16.840 --> 01:36:19.840
there's somebody going and plugging attempts at fights elsewhere, as we just saw,

01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:22.840
but otherwise it is at least four of the players

01:36:22.840 --> 01:36:28.520
the site in a direction within the opening minute and a half. And as you said, Goyo in

01:36:28.520 --> 01:36:32.960
that sort of situation, just things that can slow it down better than what the Izami is

01:36:32.960 --> 01:36:36.640
really managing right now, because most of the time the thing in Izami is sort of turning

01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:44.000
tail and holding through the backs, then just something else to assist in that sort of stem

01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:50.280
of the tide. Otherwise, this is probably the biggest change up again that we've had in

01:36:50.280 --> 01:36:54.760
line up you've got the Deimos, the Snake, they're trying to very directly their intel

01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:58.040
grabs, play the bees around the corner they know this is a shotgun they're

01:36:58.040 --> 01:37:01.000
gonna have to try and hit on the corner.

01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:05.800
Big game of attrition, so how much focus are they gonna pay towards it?

01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:10.680
Navanauts also here for support as well, doubling up on the boiler stairs.

01:37:10.680 --> 01:37:13.480
Doki in the meantime, he's the long track, he's all the way on the other side of

01:37:13.480 --> 01:37:16.840
green and they're trying to prepare, they're getting a welcome out, but how much

01:37:16.840 --> 01:37:18.840
Is he gonna peel away from them?

01:37:19.760 --> 01:37:25.160
This is where the smoke man also helps you with the the basement attack as we know a smoke on the point where stairs

01:37:25.160 --> 01:37:29.920
This position it's got ends in can be very problematic and slow down a lot of the time now. They don't have that

01:37:30.400 --> 01:37:36.560
They have to then stick a warden who as we know doesn't have the same deniability as what the smoke has for fanatic

01:37:36.560 --> 01:37:40.320
It's very straight to the point going for vertical gonna be planted towards boiler

01:37:40.320 --> 01:37:43.520
I have a question here though from G2 Alamow

01:37:43.520 --> 01:37:48.800
People the surprise miss but I hope just watch down the stairs and DPEC is waiting for him

01:37:48.800 --> 01:37:52.080
And the question is do they know about Stomp and do they know that there's two of them?

01:37:52.080 --> 01:37:54.400
Well how they do? Oh citizen!

01:37:54.400 --> 01:37:59.280
Just about the natives killed them before Stomp could have finished them off

01:37:59.280 --> 01:38:02.960
Could have been a 3v4 now that G2 have to deal with

01:38:02.960 --> 01:38:06.880
Make that 4v2, make that 4v1, Shaco all by himself

01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:13.400
obviously almost had an insane as close to the day

01:38:13.400 --> 01:38:18.760
get that little split on it he's

01:38:18.760 --> 01:38:23.680
one but the second pops up dead shot I mean just

01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:27.320
repeatedly brilliant he has been

01:38:27.320 --> 01:38:31.360
in this opening half an opening half there's left fanatic

01:38:31.360 --> 01:38:35.000
four to two and us heading over towards

01:38:35.000 --> 01:38:37.000
desk

01:38:37.040 --> 01:38:40.560
Thank you. Yeah, even beyond these four rounds that are on the board for Fnatic

01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:44.320
We can also say clearly they are winning on a strategic level on these attacks

01:38:44.320 --> 01:38:48.280
I think this strategically won all six every single one of them. It could be six zero

01:38:48.280 --> 01:38:52.160
It could be six zero quite comfortably for Fnatic on another day. It would be six zero

01:38:52.160 --> 01:38:56.880
They basically just messed up two X-Files. That's all different but in terms of control in terms of pacing

01:38:56.880 --> 01:39:00.640
It has been so good from Fnatic. Their theory has been go direct

01:39:00.640 --> 01:39:03.240
Yes, they use the shields and even when all three shields got banned out

01:39:03.240 --> 01:39:08.100
they played the few shield as well. They wanted to go direct, aggress G2, double up, triple

01:39:08.100 --> 01:39:12.240
upon positions and get the crossfire, get those refracts and the only time that it didn't

01:39:12.240 --> 01:39:16.340
happen in this round here was when Doki managed to pop off and get two, when he played through

01:39:16.340 --> 01:39:20.520
the crossfire on an individual basis. That's the only output G2 have had so far.

01:39:20.520 --> 01:39:24.000
It's an old vision of siege that you see on your screen. It's four players working the

01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:27.560
site. Four players working the site and one lurk. You see here on the main stairs you

01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:32.840
will see it on the other bomb site when he's lurking and basically controlling the rumors.

01:39:32.840 --> 01:39:36.760
You have the shields working, the hot breaches, two other players with them with utility.

01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:38.800
That gets them the initial control on the site.

01:39:38.800 --> 01:39:42.100
And then the fifth player is just there to control the flanks because they know that

01:39:42.100 --> 01:39:46.160
G2's only win condition at this point is to try and have someone retake.

01:39:46.160 --> 01:39:50.080
And the thing is, it works so well against G2 right now, and I'm worried on their side

01:39:50.080 --> 01:39:52.280
because I was trying to see the reaction.

01:39:52.280 --> 01:39:53.280
Because what do we see?

01:39:53.280 --> 01:39:56.240
Like the last round, for example, they call for a basement defense.

01:39:56.240 --> 01:39:58.680
You have barely any extension.

01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:00.440
You have one extension into filtration.

01:40:00.440 --> 01:40:05.160
They give way too much control to Fnatic, so Fnatic, you have their core four players advancing

01:40:05.160 --> 01:40:08.280
and nothing really happens on their side, they're just getting picked off the vert and

01:40:08.280 --> 01:40:12.600
off the utility on the back of Fnatic, I think the pressure is on the shoulders of G2 right

01:40:12.600 --> 01:40:13.600
now.

01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:16.960
When Fnatic have struggled with their attacks, think about the maps that really they've struggled

01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:20.520
on, think about a clubhouse where we saw on very first playday where they had to play

01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:24.680
through layers, they had to breach walls where they had to play through as armies and utility

01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:27.600
and power positions, they've not had to do any of that today.

01:40:27.600 --> 01:40:32.280
I think G2 got their defensive game pump all wrong and Fnatic have capitalized on that perfectly.

01:40:32.280 --> 01:40:37.520
However, I think it's a strong side towards G2, so I believe there's one side where they can bounce back, it's definitely that one.

01:40:37.520 --> 01:40:41.840
Is this better than what we expected to see from Fnatic, or is this about what we wanted to see?

01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:48.800
No, I think it's better because I think Fnatic lost their game up against G2 in regulation, in the regular stage, in overtime.

01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:56.240
But actually, when you control every attack, yes, the scoreline's 4-2, that might come back to bite them, but they control every round strategically.

01:40:56.240 --> 01:41:14.240
So I think it's better than maybe what we expected, because, coming into this, we said G2 are formidable on this map, you know, they've taken FaZe there, they've taken M8 to there, beaten both of those teams there, they're clearly good at this map, and they've been absolutely outclassed so far, but like Leo's just said, the flip has completely happened now, it will be G2 on the attack that will be forcing their style of playing to this game.

01:41:14.240 --> 01:41:20.240
We spoke of one condition for Fnatic in defense. Before this game started, it was utility. Look at the side of your screen.

01:41:20.240 --> 01:41:27.240
All of it is made for the light round. You see Goyo, you see Tachanka, you see Smoke, Enazami, and you have to make the half-surprise the side-strong.

01:41:27.240 --> 01:41:30.240
It's basically the strategy of players against you.

01:41:30.240 --> 01:41:38.240
And then, as we say, a good start is the first half done, but this is only the first half, so the second half starts now. Walk in for the next two.

01:41:38.240 --> 01:41:43.740
Well, thank you very much, and wow, a 6-0, they think it could have been, do you agree?

01:41:43.740 --> 01:41:51.040
Uh, I mean, probably bar, I think, the mid-floor site, because I think the mid-floor, like,

01:41:51.040 --> 01:41:55.040
you lose the first pick, and then I think G2 play very well, obviously retake the position.

01:41:55.040 --> 01:41:58.680
I wouldn't say that Fanatic were necessarily in a position to win that round, still think

01:41:58.680 --> 01:42:01.520
there was a lot of that round to play, it just so happens that Stumpin' made a really

01:42:01.520 --> 01:42:06.080
good play, but definitely that doki round, yes, so I would maybe argue a 5-1 against

01:42:06.080 --> 01:42:13.860
I always like arguing against them. Listen, it's very fast than you, you know. We are professional point makers.

01:42:14.760 --> 01:42:17.840
It doesn't mean that they have to be the correct point. Sometimes you just gotta

01:42:18.680 --> 01:42:21.080
throw something in the mix just to irritate your friends.

01:42:26.520 --> 01:42:27.520
Right.

01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:28.520
G2.

01:42:29.160 --> 01:42:30.680
A lot of work to be done.

01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:35.520
Yeah, right. As you've said, uphill. Hope the bit of hiking puts on because they're gonna need it.

01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:37.520
I look at the fanatic line up

01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:41.900
Again, it plays more into that mini game theory the way that the desk we're talking

01:42:41.900 --> 01:42:48.040
Maybe this is the approach that G2 should have taken up where you're adding in things like the mirror on top of a breach

01:42:48.040 --> 01:42:52.760
You have to play around that boy, oh, which was just not in the arsenal for G2 at all

01:42:53.160 --> 01:42:54.840
Which was very surprising

01:42:54.840 --> 01:43:00.200
We know the damage this operator can do in the light game and also fairly game for stemming the kind of first three T1

01:43:00.200 --> 01:43:02.840
In towards mezz so you will get a lot of benefit from it

01:43:02.840 --> 01:43:06.880
So for G2, how do they want to go about things?

01:43:06.880 --> 01:43:11.040
They've got a lot of Util, you've got the Capitao there, you've also got Alamo with

01:43:11.040 --> 01:43:12.560
the Nades and the Blackbeard.

01:43:12.560 --> 01:43:16.160
Okay, Will Draw first blood, takes down Wizard, he is Ami.

01:43:16.160 --> 01:43:22.520
Gone, double smokes, cross back side back for him, and the smoke also goes to Afflimacy.

01:43:22.520 --> 01:43:27.280
It's picked off by Benja, and Fanatic have gave way to very early kills.

01:43:27.280 --> 01:43:30.640
Both teams are mirroring one another here in the defense.

01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:35.080
Well, maybe this will just turn into the nice attack as I had mapped with Adam Wilde.

01:43:36.080 --> 01:43:39.520
That, obviously, they've got two bodies, but they still have to sort of do that final drive

01:43:39.520 --> 01:43:43.640
through once they get the goya, the operator that we call for, being good potential.

01:43:43.640 --> 01:43:46.040
The blackbeards fall slightly further and further away.

01:43:47.480 --> 01:43:50.520
But it's actually Benja that gets caught out by Smith, the Dechanquer.

01:43:51.120 --> 01:43:54.120
Tears her head off, and this is the sort of difference, right?

01:43:54.120 --> 01:43:57.240
Before, Fnatic would hit the door, they'd get a couple of kills,

01:43:57.240 --> 01:44:00.160
and they just kind of kept driving until they'd found their way through to the site.

01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:05.200
They've been given an opportunity to have a breath here as G2 reruns the numbers.

01:44:05.200 --> 01:44:08.360
They've still got plenty of time and they're a team that does love to do this.

01:44:08.360 --> 01:44:10.000
Recalculate, reevaluate.

01:44:10.000 --> 01:44:12.080
You can see the ping's coming out on the player on the back end.

01:44:12.080 --> 01:44:16.800
It's a C4 pre-lined up and ready to go out on towards the walkway.

01:44:16.800 --> 01:44:19.280
But nobody's currently home.

01:44:19.280 --> 01:44:23.840
The question is, here, down the way, where is the thermite going to get free?

01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:28.920
There's a bit of destruction, but it doesn't quite stop it by the sounds of it,

01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:33.360
assuming they were attempting it for the correct play.

01:44:33.360 --> 01:44:35.560
Yeah, I like this from Shako, using extra man.

01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:37.480
It means that somebody has to watch him.

01:44:37.480 --> 01:44:40.520
Somebody has to get dragged out of position here from Fanatic.

01:44:40.520 --> 01:44:42.880
And this is where the rest of G2 can then just start driving

01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:44.000
into the site now.

01:44:44.000 --> 01:44:48.120
And the S-MIS goes down beautifully played from G2.

01:44:48.120 --> 01:44:50.360
As you mentioned, two different fundamentals

01:44:50.360 --> 01:44:53.600
of once they're able to get the opening picks.

01:44:53.600 --> 01:44:55.720
As you said, Fanatic kept it going.

01:44:55.720 --> 01:44:58.680
He didn't want to let G2 recalibrate.

01:44:58.680 --> 01:45:03.080
For G2, yes, you've allowed Fnatic to recalibrate, but G2 themselves have also did that.

01:45:03.080 --> 01:45:08.280
G2 themselves knew they have a lot of time, they can use that extra man that they've gained in the opening half,

01:45:08.280 --> 01:45:12.120
and they use it beautifully. You play Shiko, buy himself, dragon players out,

01:45:12.120 --> 01:45:15.240
rest of the team moves forward, you have Alomar with that, Shield still alive,

01:45:15.240 --> 01:45:19.600
he can charge in, he can call out for his positions, get the information.

01:45:19.600 --> 01:45:24.080
Yeah, there are no problems there for G2. So, attacker alert, baby, it happened.

01:45:24.080 --> 01:45:34.600
four three four three and fanatic there Lee has gotten slightly thinner as you

01:45:34.600 --> 01:45:39.240
said maybe we'll just never see that top floor again here instead we'll get

01:45:39.240 --> 01:45:43.280
ourselves rotating around on towards the basement it could just be one of those

01:45:43.280 --> 01:45:49.880
sort of splits of sort of you know days where things go away from them I think

01:45:49.880 --> 01:45:53.680
obviously deadshot being the drive that he was in that opening half it says

01:45:53.680 --> 01:45:58.720
sort of a lot of if he starts to slow down what happens to the rest of the team they did great

01:45:58.720 --> 01:46:04.240
team dynamics but when you have your sort of top frag a top frag into that degree or it can change

01:46:04.240 --> 01:46:11.120
things in the meantime he's starting to get some activation on the side of it and it's always sort

01:46:11.120 --> 01:46:16.400
of the waiting game for the G2 both for the players and the fans themselves I think of well

01:46:16.400 --> 01:46:20.480
when are we going to get activation Alomars had one of the best seasons he's ever had

01:46:20.480 --> 01:46:26.940
It would be a shame if now, today and yesterday, the days when it sort of stops hitting as

01:46:26.940 --> 01:46:32.540
hard as it has, his attention on them obviously got the man previously mentioned on them on

01:46:32.540 --> 01:46:35.380
DC if they can try and lead their way in.

01:46:35.380 --> 01:46:41.420
Once towards the warehouse and pretty quick work here, there's not been a lot of contest

01:46:41.420 --> 01:46:42.980
for any of this ground really.

01:46:42.980 --> 01:46:47.780
This is what sort of handed it over to G2 and put our eyes in towards Locust but it's

01:46:47.780 --> 01:46:52.100
Benja that actually gets citizen in the meantime and I don't know are these alarm sounds can

01:46:52.100 --> 01:46:56.580
you finatic to rotate back a bit quicker here don't we? Benja's just been able to I assume

01:46:56.580 --> 01:47:01.620
walk in through supply and now he's causing a whole lot of issues for finatic. Benja with two

01:47:01.620 --> 01:47:07.140
we will get finished off by deadshot but I think the damage has been done the site has been severely

01:47:07.140 --> 01:47:12.340
weakened look how early that the goyos have had to be popped he's tossing out smoke canisters and

01:47:12.340 --> 01:47:17.460
there's still two minutes to play this is not a great start here from finatic and once again

01:47:17.460 --> 01:47:22.120
G2 they have an extra man that they can utilize and it looks to be stomping upstairs by himself

01:47:22.360 --> 01:47:28.220
He's got the fine dead shot. Yeah, GT are using the numbers game really well it so far in their attacks. I

01:47:29.300 --> 01:47:35.180
Mean that's sort of it, right a minute 30 Dpex gonna go above to see if he can try and potentially trade out this man

01:47:35.180 --> 01:47:38.620
He's got one smoke canister left and stead. No, he's changed his mind

01:47:38.620 --> 01:47:41.820
You've got wizards this under pressure above because he was able to pull off

01:47:42.060 --> 01:47:45.600
You know a couple of big moments in this exact position when he was on attack

01:47:45.600 --> 01:47:51.840
we have to get a double kill and sort of drive the faded around and here they sort of trusted him

01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:56.240
to stay there instead G2 floods the back of the site they know roughly where Wizards they don't

01:47:56.240 --> 01:48:00.320
need to contest with them and can try and get this plant secured you've got them on T he'll

01:48:00.320 --> 01:48:04.400
have the shield on his back it'll be tough to pull apart and now there's also loads of people

01:48:04.400 --> 01:48:10.640
looking towards the exact hatch you wanted to hit on the drop this should confidently be a G2 round

01:48:10.640 --> 01:48:15.840
It's just down to seeing if Wizards can get anyone for the trouble.

01:48:15.840 --> 01:48:20.640
And for the statistics going to hop the way around to the back, he's being actively called

01:48:20.640 --> 01:48:21.640
as well.

01:48:21.640 --> 01:48:28.000
But he won't even be able to get to answer it.

01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:32.120
Simple stuff for G2, again, they're hitting that opening hard.

01:48:32.120 --> 01:48:35.160
They're able to, again, walk away with two kills.

01:48:35.160 --> 01:48:37.240
Yes, they may lose one in the process.

01:48:37.240 --> 01:48:43.100
It is just somehow found a cat nothing on supply. They've been fed or been destroyed. Maybe the federal was even on and

01:48:45.280 --> 01:48:50.900
Once you let banja kind of be a fox in in the chicken house, that's what happens

01:48:51.880 --> 01:48:53.260
and

01:48:53.260 --> 01:48:58.180
Then for G2, they just look down, you know, you have the shield got out of mouth just can feed all information

01:48:58.180 --> 01:49:00.180
he can tell them up to no

01:49:00.400 --> 01:49:02.400
very easy for them and

01:49:02.720 --> 01:49:05.460
G2 look to be on it in their attacks so me for that it weren't

01:49:07.240 --> 01:49:19.400
So, there has been a bit of a running theme, I think is a comment throughout this game

01:49:19.400 --> 01:49:21.920
of the energy levels of the two teams.

01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:26.400
Every single round for the side of G2, from the clutches, from earlier, it's big energy,

01:49:26.400 --> 01:49:31.640
big showering, it's you're the best player I've ever seen, Zack.

01:49:31.640 --> 01:49:35.920
And then, otherwise from Fnatic, it's been a bit more understated, right?

01:49:35.920 --> 01:49:40.520
been a bit more sort of casual and when they were in control it still smiles it

01:49:40.520 --> 01:49:45.840
was still upbeat but it was a different kind of upbeat I think here those sort

01:49:45.840 --> 01:49:54.960
of quiet moments get even quieter as your lead of two built from hard-working

01:49:54.960 --> 01:50:02.800
attacks is unfortunately filtered away from well tested the defenses still

01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:07.440
There's always chance, chance to grow, chance to watch for clash, seems to be a bit of the

01:50:07.440 --> 01:50:13.400
MO maybe, you know, be a bit more of a front-facing problem that isn't immediately shot in the

01:50:13.400 --> 01:50:14.400
head.

01:50:14.400 --> 01:50:31.280
I mean, I think for a fanatic, this is the moment where they need to win this round, especially

01:50:31.280 --> 01:50:36.560
the back of the time out you're not going to get another opportunity in this map to use that uh so

01:50:39.360 --> 01:50:45.120
it is a lot of pressure you need to win this if not GT are gonna just have the kind of run in the

01:50:45.120 --> 01:50:52.480
middle knowing that they've broke you on once again that same top floor site it's going to be a

01:50:52.480 --> 01:50:56.400
kind of danger zone again same where it was for GT just don't go to the site not great for you

01:50:56.400 --> 01:50:59.400
Yeah, a lot of pressure now for Fnatic.

01:50:59.400 --> 01:51:05.400
I think for G2 though, I don't think a clash would be that much of an issue whenever you

01:51:05.400 --> 01:51:09.400
have been running Nomad at every single round in your attack, so Shaq is just going to get

01:51:09.400 --> 01:51:12.400
more benefit out of this pick, get more value.

01:51:12.400 --> 01:51:16.400
I mean, as long as he can rotate safely, oh dear.

01:51:16.400 --> 01:51:20.400
That's the exact same engagement Ben's you're opening pick on the citizen.

01:51:20.400 --> 01:51:34.520
Well, with that, the first body with that, maybe the thread of problems starts to unravel.

01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:38.440
You can see just caught peering out the bathroom window.

01:51:38.440 --> 01:51:43.520
This is under a bit of pressure from Turkey, but it's enough to move away, though.

01:51:43.520 --> 01:51:47.840
Or it might be that sort of easy removal of Gadgetree, right?

01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:52.600
seen a lot of, you know, Goya canisters being used, you've got the keybers, you've got the

01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:57.360
driver of the clash. Flores is always going to be useful in forcing some of those as well

01:51:57.360 --> 01:52:06.960
as quietly and distantly removing things like barbed wire. G2, as I've said it before, they've

01:52:06.960 --> 01:52:11.920
been excellent at sort of calculating the man advantage and then working with it. Get in,

01:52:11.920 --> 01:52:16.320
use the opportunity, get rid of the barbed wire, go back out, redroining it. There's

01:52:16.320 --> 01:52:21.880
Obviously got two players watching towards this window and fanatic need to sort of do this game right close down on the man advantage

01:52:22.480 --> 01:52:26.240
See if you can try and hit them get one slightly further ahead

01:52:26.240 --> 01:52:30.280
And oh, it's a delicate fight here. You can see bangers coming in to offer some support

01:52:30.280 --> 01:52:35.520
But at this point they'll feel their way away and it's a bit of utility and removal. There's also now

01:52:38.800 --> 01:52:41.240
Consistence sort of a bottle from positions here

01:52:41.240 --> 01:52:45.920
He smashes the door, trying to get Benjane.

01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:47.920
Again, plant.

01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:50.560
Something that GTNES start thinking about is that timer.

01:52:50.560 --> 01:52:51.840
It's just down to 30 seconds.

01:52:51.840 --> 01:52:55.760
Look at this position it smashes in, and there's no nades.

01:52:55.760 --> 01:52:57.680
So this is going to be quite a power position,

01:52:57.680 --> 01:53:00.280
how that smish can just sit behind and hope he can find a lot of kills.

01:53:00.280 --> 01:53:02.960
There's one, but very quickly traded by Shaiiko.

01:53:02.960 --> 01:53:06.080
DPEC is going to use another smoke, still has one remaining.

01:53:06.080 --> 01:53:07.920
Wizards, going to try and double it with him.

01:53:07.920 --> 01:53:10.680
And when they engage with him, no Shaiiko is just better

01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:19.920
and Al Amal with the finishing blow. G2 with another attack under their belt. That top

01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:25.540
floor today for both sides, do not defend it. Four times we've seen that top floor be

01:53:25.540 --> 01:53:31.440
played, and four times it's been won by the attack.

01:53:31.440 --> 01:53:41.200
That is now G2 in the lead, with three attacks in a row, demo, and they're worrying statistic

01:53:41.200 --> 01:53:49.200
on the side of that, only three players lost across those rounds, they have really just

01:53:49.200 --> 01:53:55.480
rested control of the back half of this game and barely any of them have felt that sort

01:53:55.480 --> 01:53:58.080
of siren song of mortality.

01:53:58.080 --> 01:54:04.640
I'm not going to say the wheels have sort of come off of fanatic, they still got a decent

01:54:04.640 --> 01:54:09.680
drive on them, it's just apparently the wheels got put back on G2.

01:54:09.680 --> 01:54:16.280
It's just G2 playing their game, isn't it?

01:54:16.280 --> 01:54:21.560
You know, they were consistently fine in that opening pick, which I think helps out massively.

01:54:21.560 --> 01:54:23.800
Because they use that extra man so well.

01:54:23.800 --> 01:54:27.400
You can see the way that G2 wanted to play, they're always looking for that backstab,

01:54:27.400 --> 01:54:31.880
They're always looking to overwhelm in the part of the map which Fanatic are going to

01:54:31.880 --> 01:54:34.560
be weakened because they don't have that extra man themselves.

01:54:34.560 --> 01:54:38.680
You know, it was exactly the same for this bombsite.

01:54:38.680 --> 01:54:43.120
You lose that opening pick, it's a 5v4, and what does Alomar do?

01:54:43.120 --> 01:54:44.960
Start putting pressure towards green.

01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:45.960
Drag somebody out of position.

01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:50.120
The main force coming in, infromes, trying to flood in through the bombsite, and he's

01:54:50.120 --> 01:54:53.040
there creating issues, picks up that final kill.

01:54:53.040 --> 01:55:00.360
We've seen G2 are using that extra mass so well, whereas really for Fanatic, like we make

01:55:00.360 --> 01:55:03.320
the comparisons, they're just very direct, straight to the point.

01:55:03.320 --> 01:55:07.520
Yes, they maybe have Wizard just off playing by himself, but he's there to hunt roamers.

01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:10.800
He's not really there attacking and then goes to the big rotate.

01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:14.760
G2 are always looking for that rotate, always looking for that other opportunity once they've

01:55:14.760 --> 01:55:16.760
been able to get that first pick.

01:55:16.760 --> 01:55:18.760
They've shot.

01:55:18.760 --> 01:55:24.760
Just going to sort of keep himself going a bit here, but otherwise the rest of the team

01:55:24.760 --> 01:55:27.760
has unfortunately fallen shy of grazes in the meantime.

01:55:27.760 --> 01:55:34.760
G2, they've sort of, if one, if all, I mean, the only person who came into this half

01:55:34.760 --> 01:55:38.760
which was positive was Doki. Now, obviously, Shiko and Stompin have caught their way back

01:55:38.760 --> 01:55:40.760
there, Benjy and Alamau, and they're moving the mums away.

01:55:40.760 --> 01:55:45.760
away that sort of tip, that balance, that scale shifting.

01:55:50.760 --> 01:55:53.760
You can see the Demos threading and treading their way underneath.

01:55:53.760 --> 01:55:57.760
We're obviously back towards the top and finally they find an opening kill.

01:55:57.760 --> 01:56:00.760
The first one, about five rounds as well.

01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:08.760
And we've complimented obviously both Doki and the sort of man advantage game that we've had G2 put forward.

01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:24.760
So it'll be that idea now of how can the change come together, the preemptive smoke, maybe a bit of fear, maybe just herd Alamow on the split, they need to make sure that whatever next engagement comes isn't one that gives G2 a pick, they've sent somebody underneath.

01:56:24.760 --> 01:56:31.760
All the compliments paid about how G2 has played the man advantage game, but now we get to see the adaptations of Fnatic's defense with the man advantage.

01:56:31.760 --> 01:56:37.400
Yeah, for G2, still looking to try and gain way in towards that, from which they have as

01:56:37.400 --> 01:56:39.200
that wall's being reinforced towards Mez.

01:56:39.200 --> 01:56:43.960
But that Mez player in combination with the person in towards Art is a bit of a nasty

01:56:43.960 --> 01:56:49.160
crossfire for Alamad to deal with, but has been able just to almost show himself and

01:56:49.160 --> 01:56:51.160
it's made them run away.

01:56:51.160 --> 01:56:56.360
Still, it's this player in towards Mez, that is what's going to really hinder G2 here.

01:56:56.360 --> 01:57:00.160
So Deadshot, he can stay alive and just keep being that menace.

01:57:00.160 --> 01:57:03.160
I think on that it would just stop G2 on their tracks.

01:57:05.160 --> 01:57:07.160
That shell gets Shaco.

01:57:07.160 --> 01:57:11.160
They've almost been able to level the total amount of kills they've got over the previous three rounds.

01:57:11.160 --> 01:57:15.160
Now they have, as they put themselves to the five versus two.

01:57:15.160 --> 01:57:17.160
There's another.

01:57:18.160 --> 01:57:24.160
It's not really quite a flawless round, but a shield surrounded with 30 seconds and they're setting it on fire.

01:57:24.160 --> 01:57:27.160
Still 19 of those launches, we've covered both doors for the rest of the round,

01:57:27.160 --> 01:57:30.280
to the round but instead he's been able to slip his way out and he's going to try and find a close

01:57:30.280 --> 01:57:36.680
fight but wizard has the distance not done yet. Fnatic they're able to find their first defense

01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:42.920
after four on a site that they've lost twice but now do they go back to the other one that they've

01:57:42.920 --> 01:57:50.200
lost? Lab or should they try and cycle somewhere new? Well I will say finally the top source being

01:57:50.200 --> 01:57:56.840
defendants that took us time to get us there. And G2, lose opening pick. I think that is

01:57:56.840 --> 01:58:02.160
a big difference. I think whenever they kind of lost Doki, who obviously is the Deimos,

01:58:02.160 --> 01:58:06.760
bear important operator, or that mezzanine clear, you track the player on the stairs,

01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:12.400
you need him out, easy pickings typically for the Deimos. You lose him, how do you get

01:58:12.400 --> 01:58:17.520
through mezz? Really the only thing that they had was one, try and get the shield pushed

01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:21.920
in, but it's difficult against the smoke. Or two, you're trying to use the Capacile,

01:58:21.920 --> 01:58:25.480
but then you're dumping that utility you'd love to have, maybe for the site execute.

01:58:25.480 --> 01:58:30.400
So I think it was tricky for G2 to kind of think about what they wanted to go for. Obviously

01:58:30.400 --> 01:58:33.960
a lot of attention in towards bathroom. I just think they were hoping that Fnatic weren't

01:58:33.960 --> 01:58:38.080
going to give them a pick as they went into bathroom hoping for the challenge, but I think

01:58:38.080 --> 01:58:42.680
Fnatic realized in the wincon, they've got the man advantage, they've still got a lot

01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:46.040
of plant denial, they've got the Dechanca, they've still got the smoke, you've got the

01:58:46.040 --> 01:58:50.740
the guy who scared around. So Fanatic didn't really have to move, they didn't have to do

01:58:50.740 --> 01:58:56.020
anything. I mean, we seen Deadshot just as happy to sit and mezzanine. No, he can control

01:58:56.020 --> 01:59:03.320
the round and he did that. So overall for Fanatic, they're not biting into the trap

01:59:03.320 --> 01:59:10.380
that G2 lied for them.

01:59:10.380 --> 01:59:14.580
Curious now which one gets that final pull obviously for all the stories that we've had

01:59:14.580 --> 01:59:19.860
Throughout this split of teams almost making it towards the points and not quite falling short and a best of three

01:59:19.860 --> 01:59:24.500
It doesn't matter, but when we look towards that second map, maybe it does

01:59:25.100 --> 01:59:28.360
Obviously shall I is a bit of a g2 powerhouse map fanatic

01:59:28.700 --> 01:59:32.060
I'm gonna say they're gonna have the toughest time in the world on it

01:59:32.060 --> 01:59:33.820
But tougher than the other three in the pool

01:59:33.820 --> 01:59:37.820
So they kind of want to do this if they're gonna do it on the first and the third she too

01:59:37.820 --> 01:59:43.700
If they can get this first one, if they can get these last two rounds to push them over

01:59:43.700 --> 01:59:48.100
towards the edge and the third on the second map, it should be pretty confident.

01:59:48.100 --> 01:59:52.620
I know Doki has almost removed his first egg, they're still going to try and drive forward

01:59:52.620 --> 01:59:55.620
for this garnet's trick on the front.

01:59:55.620 --> 01:59:57.100
In fact, no, it's not even Doki.

01:59:57.100 --> 01:59:59.620
Doki is taking damage whilst we're just in the same second.

01:59:59.620 --> 02:00:06.660
I know it is Doki, I'm not going fully crazy yet.

02:00:06.660 --> 02:00:09.660
The Echo Drive was leading in a classic DPEC special.

02:00:12.660 --> 02:00:13.660
That's really...

02:00:13.660 --> 02:00:14.660
Sorry, did he hear me?

02:00:14.660 --> 02:00:15.660
Unmuch.

02:00:15.660 --> 02:00:16.660
Maybe.

02:00:16.660 --> 02:00:18.660
They haven't really done much, have they?

02:00:18.660 --> 02:00:19.660
G2.

02:00:19.660 --> 02:00:23.660
Other than just taking towards that mid-floor, didn't get the opening pick that was maybe

02:00:23.660 --> 02:00:26.660
in front of Dopey with that challenge that Deadshot had,

02:00:26.660 --> 02:00:30.660
but suppose then for Fnatic, they're having up just a certain site.

02:00:30.660 --> 02:00:32.660
They've got the Echo.

02:00:32.660 --> 02:00:33.660
Got the Goyo.

02:00:33.660 --> 02:00:38.820
Obviously set up inforced boiler stairs. I assume that's the kind of combination that you like to have as the echo

02:00:38.820 --> 02:00:41.820
I'll top the stairs somebody combo that usually with shotgun

02:00:43.380 --> 02:00:48.400
Right now for G2 a lot of utile and you've got the ing you've got the Grim. We've got your burtholes being made

02:00:49.500 --> 02:00:53.740
It could be I mean maybe a 20 second exit here from G2 that could be what we're after

02:00:55.980 --> 02:01:01.420
Well the execute might be stemmed and slowed slightly by some of the gadget tree still popping around put bees in the fire

02:01:01.420 --> 02:01:06.140
Let's see if you can try and drive yourself in, it's obviously all players still standing

02:01:06.140 --> 02:01:07.140
this late.

02:01:07.140 --> 02:01:10.020
The longest that we have had at Doki, trying to catch them, you can see the circle that

02:01:10.020 --> 02:01:13.420
Fnatic playing in is getting tighter and tighter and smaller and smaller, but show us that

02:01:13.420 --> 02:01:16.820
timer in the top middle, right in as long as they've got the pressure event on their

02:01:16.820 --> 02:01:17.820
side.

02:01:17.820 --> 02:01:21.500
It doesn't really matter how many chairs have been removed from the circle.

02:01:21.500 --> 02:01:26.180
Citizen finds the first, it's Doki, drops, then Citizen gets the second before Stompin

02:01:26.180 --> 02:01:28.500
to trace them out, once further, back and forth.

02:01:28.500 --> 02:01:32.380
They have this man advantage, so even though the kills are coming back and forth because

02:01:32.380 --> 02:01:38.180
they have that first step, they're still leading the dance, but 10 seconds, I don't know,

02:01:38.180 --> 02:01:42.220
Benjio still trying to get past Echo drones in towards the site itself and not enough

02:01:42.220 --> 02:01:43.940
time.

02:01:43.940 --> 02:01:47.100
Fanatic, they sit on that point.

02:01:47.100 --> 02:01:51.220
Oh, Fanatic have turned it around.

02:01:51.220 --> 02:01:56.820
Two back in their favor means that they have the advantage, six-five, so Jisoo have to

02:01:56.820 --> 02:02:00.820
I feel as though trying to

02:02:00.820 --> 02:02:03.820
try and take it into OT. Yeah,

02:02:03.820 --> 02:02:06.820
I think for G two. Using the

02:02:06.820 --> 02:02:08.820
vertical operators taken hatch

02:02:08.820 --> 02:02:10.820
that's all standard stuff. I

02:02:10.820 --> 02:02:12.820
feel as a G two have maybe went

02:02:12.820 --> 02:02:14.820
wrong with that execute with the

02:02:14.820 --> 02:02:16.820
operators that they had. I feel

02:02:16.820 --> 02:02:18.820
as though trying to force your

02:02:18.820 --> 02:02:20.820
way in for a boiler take

02:02:20.820 --> 02:02:22.820
connector would be the more

02:02:22.820 --> 02:02:24.820
logical route. You've got full

02:02:24.820 --> 02:02:27.860
the game. They were more

02:02:27.920 --> 02:02:29.260
focused on trying to hit every

02:02:29.260 --> 02:02:31.260
door at the same time, like we

02:02:31.260 --> 02:02:32.860
see them move in. Towards

02:02:32.860 --> 02:02:34.860
toxin in through lockers. The

02:02:34.860 --> 02:02:36.860
issue with that is if those

02:02:36.860 --> 02:02:37.900
individual players lose their

02:02:37.900 --> 02:02:39.460
engagements, then that take

02:02:39.460 --> 02:02:41.100
doesn't work. You rely very

02:02:41.100 --> 02:02:43.500
heavily on individuals winning

02:02:43.500 --> 02:02:45.500
engagements. And also it looked

02:02:45.500 --> 02:02:47.500
as though that a lot of G2 just

02:02:47.500 --> 02:02:48.940
kind of left the verts that they

02:02:48.940 --> 02:02:50.440
made. Everyone started moving

02:02:50.440 --> 02:02:51.940
towards that bottom floor. They

02:02:51.940 --> 02:02:52.980
all chose the door to push in

02:02:52.980 --> 02:02:54.740
from. And he didn't have that

02:03:24.740 --> 02:03:32.180
because well imagine imagine being a G2 fan and then I'm beating run and then

02:03:32.180 --> 02:03:36.740
having it's the boy over the course of two days how would that feel demo

02:03:41.740 --> 02:03:50.640
how would you feel I'm gonna put it back on you not great not great G2 that's

02:03:50.640 --> 02:03:53.360
still only one round away puts back in towards the best of three a very

02:03:53.360 --> 02:03:57.480
interesting statistic might just be who is going to be leading on their attack of

02:03:57.480 --> 02:04:01.760
defense on the side of overtime because well it's been a very attack-excited map

02:04:01.760 --> 02:04:05.600
both teams have seemed excellent on their drive-thru obviously Fanatic could

02:04:05.600 --> 02:04:09.560
lock it up here and then well they were better on the map they're able to get an

02:04:09.560 --> 02:04:13.040
even half but that here is a bit of a surprise

02:04:13.040 --> 02:04:17.880
G2 they've pushed them on towards their tertiary site they've pushed them into

02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:22.520
this position I've just got to see if they can get some netted rewards for

02:04:22.520 --> 02:04:27.000
pushing the opponents around a bit. The shield's driving its way down the back line of the second

02:04:27.000 --> 02:04:32.120
story. They've obviously already got the Bunk's breach open, so hasn't lost the sight itself, but

02:04:33.240 --> 02:04:38.760
won't spend here actually doing a bit of a bit of a clear sprint. I'm sure they aren't watched as

02:04:38.760 --> 02:04:46.360
they're going for that vertical control here. Slown steady at the moment here for G2.

02:04:46.360 --> 02:04:52.720
try and get the wall opened in towards sight and they will do so, call the firmite over.

02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:58.840
You can see that everyone from Fnatic is upstairs, typically you would find one player in the

02:04:58.840 --> 02:05:03.220
bomb site. Just to stop any immediate rush and again it's the position that then the

02:05:03.220 --> 02:05:09.440
attackers have to go for in clear. But to have a full 5 man upstairs, somebody from

02:05:09.440 --> 02:05:13.720
G2 can find their way in, it could cause issues but then again, whenever they have opened

02:05:13.720 --> 02:05:18.160
every possible bit of the floor. You don't have to worry about it, in goes the sense,

02:05:18.160 --> 02:05:22.720
but headshot, look at the operator, he's on the solace. I mean, you should be able to

02:05:22.720 --> 02:05:26.920
see that that's a blitz. I mean, it could be a nook as well, but I don't figure you're

02:05:26.920 --> 02:05:28.800
inspecting the nook.

02:05:28.800 --> 02:05:34.720
It's sort of the play around the game, right? You know that they're sort of rolling the

02:05:34.720 --> 02:05:40.040
gadgets out, they're trying to get this formation of a plan. They go to the smokes to cover the

02:05:40.040 --> 02:05:44.360
verticalities they're still just setting fire and smokes and everything it's a dump of utility

02:05:44.360 --> 02:05:49.880
versus a dump of utility but ultimately that is going to work in the defenders favor because

02:05:49.880 --> 02:05:53.160
well all the land that they have right now is one that needs you to just dump in if you're not

02:05:53.160 --> 02:05:56.680
going to take the fight to them and above them there's the slip through they have the blind of

02:05:56.680 --> 02:06:01.000
the cover there's the chance of the plant the fire is too late because it's being watched from the

02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:08.840
verticality beautiful stomping gets a couple now they do stop the plant though there was a

02:06:08.840 --> 02:06:18.840
I mean, what was that?

02:06:18.840 --> 02:06:24.840
Stompin' is killed three people through the verts.

02:06:24.840 --> 02:06:28.840
What GT were doing was obviously prepped against.

02:06:28.840 --> 02:06:37.760
that stumping is killed free people through the verts. What GT were doing was obviously

02:06:37.760 --> 02:06:46.240
prepped against, was one, a Goyo canister in the bunk bed, you never see that. So perfectly

02:06:46.240 --> 02:06:52.600
prepped for the side of fanatic to play against the plant position GT want to go for which

02:06:52.600 --> 02:06:57.200
which did work. The Goyo Caster went off because an impact was tossed out.

02:06:57.200 --> 02:07:03.080
Toki died, but Stompens just killed three people through the verts.

02:07:03.080 --> 02:07:06.360
That's right here, you can see the impact goes in, Toki cooked alive.

02:07:06.360 --> 02:07:11.160
But it just comes to the one guy, I wish we would see the POV as well as Stompens.

02:07:11.160 --> 02:07:13.960
The kills that he was able to get. He's busy.

02:07:13.960 --> 02:07:17.360
And he's killing people. And maybe this is what has been maybe the

02:07:17.360 --> 02:07:25.700
difference make to keep G2 in this game. It's a game which you play, mate. It's a game

02:07:25.700 --> 02:07:33.340
which you've been playing for quite a while. I've never been set before. I would say, obviously

02:07:33.340 --> 02:07:39.740
for G2, I don't think they've been fantastic this map. I've seen better players, but it

02:07:39.740 --> 02:07:42.780
has been down to individuals who've kind of dragged them across. Should we get the doki

02:07:42.780 --> 02:07:49.420
rounds. You think about that round of just being stomping, pulling off a 4k. Whereas on the side of

02:07:49.420 --> 02:07:54.460
fanatic, you didn't really see those big curing moments that necessarily saved fanatic, the rounds

02:07:54.460 --> 02:08:05.900
that they won were very clear cut and dry. There is obvious sort of drives around the biggest

02:08:06.460 --> 02:08:11.260
towel in a team success, which is clutches. Clutches on either side, whether it is a player

02:08:11.260 --> 02:08:15.420
that is clutching in the mix of everything which comes out as a three carrier 4k or whether it is

02:08:15.420 --> 02:08:20.940
play that is clutching against all odds and in that sort of situation. Oh good bye Deadshot.

02:08:20.940 --> 02:08:26.620
The fact that two of the rounds jumping with the 4k and Doki with the 4k have been where they're

02:08:26.620 --> 02:08:32.140
on the back foot whereas if you look towards fanatics Wizard had a 3k and Deadshot had a 3k.

02:08:32.140 --> 02:08:35.980
Those rounds happened where pretty much the entirety of fanatic was still alive they were

02:08:35.980 --> 02:08:42.300
driving momentum and there's that sort of difference between when popping off is

02:08:42.300 --> 02:08:45.300
occurring and the first person to be popped off is unfortunately one of

02:08:45.300 --> 02:08:51.500
those players deadshot great day at the office but it comes down to how it's

02:08:51.500 --> 02:08:56.660
measured in the final sort of innings here they lose their man you can sort of

02:08:56.660 --> 02:09:01.740
see through the mystery and clear the air

02:09:01.740 --> 02:09:08.540
And this is not great for fanatic, like we mentioned, if you give G2 that extra man you

02:09:08.540 --> 02:09:09.940
could give them the opening pick.

02:09:09.940 --> 02:09:12.420
They can do a lot of damage.

02:09:12.420 --> 02:09:16.300
And right now for G2, they are in the perfect position.

02:09:16.300 --> 02:09:20.460
They cut themselves in towards tables with no real issues.

02:09:20.460 --> 02:09:24.740
They've been able to take bathroom in towards mezz as nobody's playing in that position

02:09:24.740 --> 02:09:26.220
since they lost headshot.

02:09:26.220 --> 02:09:30.140
And for G2, I suppose you can just play default.

02:09:30.140 --> 02:09:34.460
like there's not much really you have to worry about outside of course the bird operators

02:09:35.180 --> 02:09:39.500
that Smiths and D-Pect can have but knowing g2 they'll put pressure on them they'll start using

02:09:39.500 --> 02:09:45.980
the extra man they'll kind of almost go for the kill on these defenders who can stop this plant

02:09:46.620 --> 02:09:50.220
so i do expect you two to still try and drive in and find these picks

02:09:50.940 --> 02:09:55.180
exactly where you said that they've been at their best before and as he goes hunting and reverse

02:09:55.180 --> 02:09:59.260
fishing he's going to do some damage towards this chanker and most importantly it's this chanker right

02:09:59.260 --> 02:10:04.660
It's this big crotch player in the final throws not towards the board looking for the follow-through fight

02:10:04.660 --> 02:10:08.600
But nothing can be done as Doki prepares for a fight elsewhere

02:10:08.600 --> 02:10:13.260
But in the meantime stomping is clearing his way across the top there goes the smoke in a foul second

02:10:13.740 --> 02:10:17.340
Both of those storied heroes and champions delaying a plant are gone

02:10:17.340 --> 02:10:20.100
But it means in the meantime was it a fanatic citizen

02:10:20.100 --> 02:10:24.580
They're going to be the ones that have to try and be fanatic saving grace as they get themselves to it

02:10:24.580 --> 02:10:26.820
Two versus one, Doki!

02:10:26.820 --> 02:10:28.500
Leveled it up, these two.

02:10:28.500 --> 02:10:30.540
If we're talking stories and picture books,

02:10:30.540 --> 02:10:33.940
we're looking at one of the longest serving pairs of all time.

02:10:33.940 --> 02:10:35.140
And they have a keen awareness,

02:10:35.140 --> 02:10:36.420
obviously aware of each other is,

02:10:36.420 --> 02:10:38.860
because the Daymos track, they're doing the drive,

02:10:38.860 --> 02:10:40.140
the drive all the way across.

02:10:40.140 --> 02:10:42.420
Doki's gonna hold the plant, which way?

02:10:42.420 --> 02:10:43.940
Western man is the swing round,

02:10:43.940 --> 02:10:46.300
he's gonna see if he can try and pop onto us.

02:10:46.300 --> 02:10:48.500
The fight, but it's Doki that wins it out!

02:10:50.780 --> 02:10:53.300
Oh, Doki!

02:10:53.300 --> 02:11:01.380
massive one V2 was wizard. I thought Lizard had them. He is Sammy. That man right there played

02:11:01.380 --> 02:11:08.500
a massive to give his team a chance. And it was a one V1 against two players who will see each other

02:11:09.380 --> 02:11:15.860
for their own national team in November. And it's don't give you gets the upper hand.

02:11:17.940 --> 02:11:22.660
A stress will run for for us and the viewers. I can imagine the stress of that round for the

02:11:22.660 --> 02:11:36.060
players I mean all the way round right every single bit was fought for there as

02:11:36.060 --> 02:11:40.980
I said before these two players Doki and citizen how long have they been in the

02:11:40.980 --> 02:11:45.780
same teams against each other either side of the split and here

02:11:45.780 --> 02:11:49.940
come on if an addict made it such a good job at trying to build themselves back

02:11:49.940 --> 02:11:57.900
in Wizard with a bit of magic of his own. But Doki was that screaming end of it all.

02:11:57.900 --> 02:12:09.380
I think Shaco did more of the screaming there. Oh, what a game. What a game. G2. They've

02:12:09.380 --> 02:12:17.940
now got to the road there on match point. And, oh no. Don't know about this. We're

02:12:17.940 --> 02:12:22.800
For now on the G2 defensive half, it's been a while since we were here, and look at the

02:12:22.800 --> 02:12:24.560
bombsite which they've chosen.

02:12:24.560 --> 02:12:30.600
The one bombsite which they did not defend in their first half, they've chosen it as

02:12:30.600 --> 02:12:36.400
their overtime defensive site.

02:12:36.400 --> 02:12:47.880
I mean, hey, sometimes you have to reset the scales, right?

02:12:47.880 --> 02:12:51.000
Sometimes you have to sort of see where everything can come from.

02:12:56.680 --> 02:13:03.640
At this, everything fanatic has sort of built towards everything that fanatic has tried to make come true.

02:13:05.880 --> 02:13:07.880
The tips on towards the scales.

02:13:14.040 --> 02:13:17.160
We have now the chance at a bit of a slip.

02:13:17.880 --> 02:13:20.480
Waiting patiently to strike

02:13:25.400 --> 02:13:28.960
Otherwise a bit of a quiet here. Yeah

02:13:30.480 --> 02:13:34.180
Not really had a contest remember that was the thing about this site was

02:13:34.480 --> 02:13:39.040
T2 would often fall back quite quickly, but an early smoke coverage and a smith's drive with the glass

02:13:40.360 --> 02:13:43.920
It just feels like the deep breath before the plunge

02:13:43.920 --> 02:13:50.200
opening pick could well and truly decide this round and neither side want to give

02:13:50.200 --> 02:13:56.160
it away for that again direct that has been the name of the game on their

02:13:56.160 --> 02:14:02.800
stretch sheet but for G2 a different approach more reserved not looking to

02:14:02.800 --> 02:14:06.600
fight finally we see a Goya was screaming for the Goya when they're

02:14:06.600 --> 02:14:11.000
opening half they brought it in now the Doki still with the chank of the ways

02:14:11.000 --> 02:14:16.400
to stop this pump from happening, but does the plant happen? That's it for Fanatic.

02:14:16.400 --> 02:14:19.440
Do they feel safe enough that they can start moving for a minute remaining?

02:14:19.440 --> 02:14:24.240
They may very well look to the front eye of the plant. Goyo cancer will be popped though and

02:14:24.240 --> 02:14:28.040
oh dead shot! He's tried that trick before but this time Shaiiko didn't fall for it.

02:14:28.040 --> 02:14:36.320
Pressure on towards the breach itself there. They can try and clear their way across the top

02:14:36.320 --> 02:14:42.920
here but otherwise it's a sort of battle for attrition. 30 seconds though and

02:14:42.920 --> 02:14:45.960
everything that fanaticus tries to build up towards this point might filter and

02:14:45.960 --> 02:14:50.840
fall away. There's patience and awareness and a keen sort of clear eye. The C4 over

02:14:50.840 --> 02:14:54.160
the top there's a lot of damage towards citizen but it's actually wizard that

02:14:54.160 --> 02:14:58.120
falls fast and stomping gets the early take. Citizen's gonna see if he's been

02:14:58.120 --> 02:15:01.600
secure the plant he's found a little oasis amongst the fire and it's not

02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:10.480
quite secured there of it is but not him the five versus two post plant D peck

02:15:10.480 --> 02:15:16.120
and dead shot there the eyes and eye are of destruction and death the first is

02:15:16.120 --> 02:15:19.640
picked they have the cross towards the second hour where are they they're

02:15:19.640 --> 02:15:22.800
keeping themselves out of arm reach for now but the sharks are circling and

02:15:22.800 --> 02:15:28.720
there's the first to bite that shot has to get this perfectly oh but there's so

02:15:28.720 --> 02:15:36.240
many bodies, so many options, they peel off, they spray back, and G2! They confirm themselves

02:15:36.240 --> 02:15:44.840
the first map in this best of three series. Oh, G2! Feels so they've aged a few hundred

02:15:44.840 --> 02:15:49.800
years after that game, look at them, they're just relieved! That was a tough game, go out

02:15:49.800 --> 02:15:54.520
and put up one hell of a fight. But they know they have that, they have the 5v2, just had

02:15:54.520 --> 02:16:00.520
the flight safe. Now let's take a quick break against the mare and get back with our desk.

02:16:30.520 --> 02:16:32.520
If that's how it's gonna be, it's gonna be done!

02:16:32.520 --> 02:16:34.520
You're out of your hands, you're out of your hands!

02:16:34.520 --> 02:16:35.520
Take it to action!

02:16:35.520 --> 02:16:37.520
You're out of your hands, you're out of your hands!

02:16:37.520 --> 02:16:38.520
Do what the heck shit!

02:16:38.520 --> 02:16:39.520
Face!

02:16:39.520 --> 02:16:40.520
Limit!

02:16:40.520 --> 02:16:41.520
Camera!

02:16:41.520 --> 02:16:42.520
Camera!

02:16:42.520 --> 02:16:43.520
Do what the heck shit!

02:16:43.520 --> 02:16:45.520
Do what the heck shit!

02:23:00.520 --> 02:23:06.520
G2 turned map 1 around and they now find themselves on map points to qualify to EWC.

02:23:06.520 --> 02:23:12.220
They're supposed to let them map as well and they're going to be mad at themselves for the way they lost it in overtime.

02:23:12.220 --> 02:23:17.520
Yeah, they're going to be putting their heads against the wall I think and it was all in their hands and ultimately it was all in their hands.

02:23:17.520 --> 02:23:20.820
But I think the two things they didn't do well, they didn't manage the big moments.

02:23:20.820 --> 02:23:26.720
We did wonder, we said strategically they won their attacks 6-0, but could they manage out the big moments?

02:23:26.720 --> 02:23:36.520
And the answer to that was no, Doki gets a big 4k, Stomp in here, manages to run outside, run back in the building, gets a big 2k, and that wins the 2g2, uh, defense rounds.

02:23:36.520 --> 02:23:55.520
And then, what happens is, we say, well, those fanatics play behind the utility. What will happen? Well, the first 2 kills of the building on the 7th round, the first 2 kills happen from an attacker outside of the building, and that continues into the 8th round as well, where Ben just just managed to find a lurking, doesn't have to play for any utility, and then suddenly he gets 2 kills as well.

02:23:55.520 --> 02:23:58.080
So I think the magical bring is a concomitance of 2 points for you.

02:23:58.080 --> 02:24:01.280
They should have been 6-0 up, and then the second point of view is they should have

02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:06.480
start back, chilled behind their utility, forced G2 to play into them, and then if they did that

02:24:06.480 --> 02:24:09.600
they ultimately would have become an out victor, but because of that they didn't clear up.

02:24:09.600 --> 02:24:13.200
And this game is going to be hard to forget going into the second map because

02:24:13.200 --> 02:24:17.600
they had it all in their hands, I felt like they had a good game plan, I felt like most of this

02:24:17.600 --> 02:24:21.360
round they were the better teamjack, I felt like they really controlled the pace, they had the

02:24:21.360 --> 02:24:26.240
the better strategy. Ever this again, once again, like the one you want from Doki, right?

02:24:26.240 --> 02:24:33.280
It's the strength of coming alive with incredible players in the most critical moments and winning

02:24:33.280 --> 02:24:38.280
that one gunfight. That they need to win absolutely to make it. And let's be honest,

02:24:38.280 --> 02:24:44.160
like, the reality is Fnatic needed to win that game. They absolutely needed to win there

02:24:44.160 --> 02:24:48.320
because the shali coming up is not the same. And also, just want to phrase Deadshot and

02:24:48.320 --> 02:24:50.000
I think they made it close

02:24:50.000 --> 02:24:53.600
But overall I think that G2 they get away with the win here

02:24:53.600 --> 02:24:56.920
It's a deal they did get away with it and they took on a long time to wake up

02:24:56.920 --> 02:24:58.080
I I still sound like this

02:24:58.080 --> 02:25:03.760
I think they got their defenses all wrong every single one of them wrong until they hit round 14 when they hit round 14

02:25:03.760 --> 02:25:07.440
What did they do instead of giving fanatic the fight instead of getting isolated they start back

02:25:07.440 --> 02:25:12.680
They let for that second round they played the time played the time played the time hit a retake and won it more or less

02:25:12.680 --> 02:25:17.960
flawlessly, and that's the round that got them over the line. And I think G2, as much as, yes,

02:25:17.960 --> 02:25:21.960
Laird was concave, they'll learn a lot of lessons about how to play against Fnatic inside of those

02:25:21.960 --> 02:25:25.800
14 rounds that they can then take into the next map. And it's fair to say that Fnatic,

02:25:25.800 --> 02:25:31.240
ideally, would have won Shelly because it was their map pick. We'll now be moving into Shelly,

02:25:31.240 --> 02:25:35.480
that is G2's map pick, and it's not without a reason that G2 picked this map as well.

02:25:35.480 --> 02:25:40.920
No, absolutely not. Obviously G2 are on a three-win streak on the map, having beaten Team Secret,

02:25:40.920 --> 02:25:45.640
Twisted mines as well, VP as well during the Sublake's major, it's a great map for them.

02:25:45.640 --> 02:25:49.640
On the other end, Fnatic, it's looking pretty dire out there because they played it twice

02:25:49.640 --> 02:25:54.040
and they lost it to Team Secret and even worse, lost it 7-2-2 Rebels.

02:25:54.040 --> 02:25:59.160
So just looking at the track record here, they're going into enemy territory quite clearly,

02:25:59.160 --> 02:26:00.440
due to dominating here.

02:26:00.440 --> 02:26:04.520
It's always been a bogie map for them in terms of a map that feels like fundamentally,

02:26:04.520 --> 02:26:08.280
I know you don't know at that time, like Fnatic's here in a second Leo, a bogie map.

02:26:08.280 --> 02:26:12.860
Yeah, like a map that they kind of could be good or not should be good on but they can just never find a win from fanatic

02:26:12.860 --> 02:26:18.120
And that's a map that they end up on with shall I is like yes, but now got shield player. Yes, they're going a little bit more direct

02:26:18.120 --> 02:26:20.720
I'm not fundamentally thinking they should be terrible at this one

02:26:20.720 --> 02:26:27.840
But I am thinking that actually G2 will be better than them on shall I well it seems to be the ideal situation for G2

02:26:28.040 --> 02:26:33.680
To grab their ticket and qualify to EWC. So this is your last chance. What can you show us?

02:26:33.680 --> 02:26:44.020
I think even the first map hadn't gone their way. It's probably still be how the prediction

02:26:44.020 --> 02:26:52.420
would be, would you agree, Danoo? That extra 6% sellouts. What are you backing them from

02:26:52.420 --> 02:26:59.780
the start, eh? What's that all about? Only support them when they're won, Nella. Oh,

02:27:29.780 --> 02:27:31.780
As if N.A. is.

02:27:31.780 --> 02:27:34.780
Yeah, I think the Jor- I think it's August this year.

02:27:39.780 --> 02:27:41.780
Hey, crazy.

02:27:41.780 --> 02:27:44.780
Time flies when you're doing certain things.

02:27:45.780 --> 02:27:47.780
Enjoying yourself.

02:27:47.780 --> 02:27:49.780
Plus when you're having fun.

02:27:51.780 --> 02:27:55.780
Being pursued by bears.

02:27:56.780 --> 02:27:58.780
That is really quick.

02:27:59.780 --> 02:28:02.420
Um, some space into you.

02:28:02.420 --> 02:28:09.780
Uh, all of these things are pretty good, but never bears from outer space.

02:28:09.780 --> 02:28:13.380
Uh, no one's interested in those stories.

02:28:13.380 --> 02:28:16.780
Instead we're here for Rainbow Six Beach.

02:28:16.780 --> 02:28:21.780
Um, and we're here with GCN Fanatic.

02:28:21.780 --> 02:28:23.780
Fanatic, here we go.

02:28:23.780 --> 02:28:24.780
One map.

02:28:24.780 --> 02:28:28.780
One map is there, hope, to get back onto the map and play out that's our best of three's

02:28:28.780 --> 02:28:39.940
work. Um, got everything to play for now. The last map was very exciting. They were

02:28:39.940 --> 02:28:44.500
going to sort of make things seem easy to turn into more of a question of momentum.

02:28:44.500 --> 02:28:51.860
Right. So what's the point of that was, uh, but it looked fun. Uh, I think my mental

02:28:51.860 --> 02:28:56.420
obviously plays a big part in it. Uh, obviously G2 got it just over the board. I mean, it

02:28:56.420 --> 02:29:00.420
It was a stretch to look for G2 as well. Also, if we're G2, the town won't forget about it.

02:29:00.420 --> 02:29:04.420
Because it wasn't their greatest, Earth Sage, it wasn't their finest moment.

02:29:04.420 --> 02:29:08.420
We look at Shalai, we had a little discussion. It's not been great for Fnatic, you know, this map.

02:29:08.420 --> 02:29:12.420
And now the desk has talked about it, you kind of look at the last time they played it.

02:29:12.420 --> 02:29:20.420
A loss to Rebels, you know, and you think Rebels, not a top-top side that we obviously have in the league.

02:29:20.420 --> 02:29:23.420
And Fnatic struggled against them, a 7-2 loss.

02:29:23.420 --> 02:29:31.420
So, for Fnatic, they need to go pretty big here against the G2 side, which would be pretty comfortable in this map, last time they played it, they won it.

02:29:31.420 --> 02:29:39.420
So, G2, start on the defense, Fnatic, have to try and get the grips of their attack, which should be their favourite side on Shelly.

02:29:39.420 --> 02:29:50.740
I'm curious how this first engagement is going to go.

02:29:50.740 --> 02:29:55.820
Filtering itself, obviously, across the possibilities, well, there's a quick answer.

02:29:55.820 --> 02:30:04.020
Alamow finds Wizard, the better performing player from Fnatic caught by the worst.

02:30:04.020 --> 02:30:09.460
player in the entire lobby last time Alamow could not get his sort of ducks in a row

02:30:11.140 --> 02:30:17.300
and there at this point being able to remember who he was from the season could be something that

02:30:17.300 --> 02:30:20.100
really changes the MO

02:30:24.660 --> 02:30:28.740
there we go fanatic after trying to force that shield in towards that top floor but

02:30:28.740 --> 02:30:38.740
G2 are standing strong, getting way in here that it's as of yet that teach citizen he just opened it somebody sticks his hand out but all timing.

02:30:38.740 --> 02:30:48.740
It's a nightmare for D-Pack, Alamo, beats at the perfect time, Shaco finds the shield and this looks to be a false start here from Fnatic.

02:30:48.740 --> 02:30:57.860
well as best as you say a false start but you know what what else can you

02:30:57.860 --> 02:31:01.740
really sort of put it together they do find one and they find themselves

02:31:01.740 --> 02:31:05.460
back out the door almost the second but the citizens out from the end of that

02:31:05.460 --> 02:31:09.580
and now look at the gun and there's the trade out a false start is as best to

02:31:09.580 --> 02:31:14.340
put it you worry is this just g2 sort of three a third in the pace I said before

02:31:14.340 --> 02:31:17.060
halfway through they realized they could put wheels on the car maybe now they've

02:31:17.060 --> 02:31:27.060
the engine. Looking good. G two

02:31:27.060 --> 02:31:29.060
already. Opening rounds, not

02:31:29.060 --> 02:31:31.060
much to really worry about from

02:31:31.060 --> 02:31:33.060
G two's perspective. Everyone

02:31:33.060 --> 02:31:35.060
holding their ground. I think

02:31:35.060 --> 02:31:38.060
maybe for that bomb site. Uh

02:31:38.060 --> 02:31:40.060
you're probably lacking more

02:31:40.060 --> 02:31:42.060
utility. I think from fanatic

02:31:42.060 --> 02:31:44.060
wherever we see that bar and

02:31:44.060 --> 02:31:46.060
games be played out. Especially

02:31:46.060 --> 02:31:53.420
the operators like your yings up there, your capitals. Operators who could make defenders move.

02:31:53.420 --> 02:31:58.860
And outside of Alamo and his gates, there was no other denial that you really had for the

02:31:58.860 --> 02:32:04.620
Util on the side of G2. So they certainly could have went with the heavy Util up upstairs.

02:32:04.620 --> 02:32:11.500
You look at the lineup, you've got a twitch, you've got a solid snake, you even got a Deimos.

02:32:11.500 --> 02:32:15.340
You know, operators which are better at hunting roamers, better at killing. You think about

02:32:15.340 --> 02:32:22.440
I think the two F2s fantastic in those engagements, but whenever G2's just sat holding crossfires using utility that have around them

02:32:22.580 --> 02:32:24.580
It don't really have to move

02:32:30.100 --> 02:32:31.900
G2

02:32:31.900 --> 02:32:34.100
Off to a strong start and some manners

02:32:34.580 --> 02:32:36.100
Didn't really have to move

02:32:36.100 --> 02:32:41.080
Got themselves locked in and help things at bay and that's the worry when you're approaching your attack on towards shally

02:32:41.080 --> 02:32:47.760
is if you're not moving with the pace, if you're not moving with the energy that it demands of you, well, then

02:32:49.760 --> 02:32:51.760
it demands, and they can be

02:32:52.160 --> 02:32:55.600
quick, spiteful, and aggressive, watching towards windows and doors.

02:32:58.360 --> 02:33:04.560
Yeah, there's a lot of pressure. The compliments we paid towards Fnatic on their start last time round was the pace applied.

02:33:04.560 --> 02:33:09.560
They're sort of wrecked and dedicated focus on tearing apart the enemy's defense.

02:33:09.560 --> 02:33:12.560
Seems to be something that is otherwise flipping its way back and forth.

02:33:12.560 --> 02:33:15.560
There's drones on an alloy that can't be forced out with grenades.

02:33:15.560 --> 02:33:20.560
How far will you go? All the way, but that's again just utility to buy a temporary reprieve.

02:33:20.560 --> 02:33:22.560
Look at bomb.

02:33:22.560 --> 02:33:25.560
The coverage shiker gets one, and you get one right back.

02:33:25.560 --> 02:33:26.560
Stomp in.

02:33:26.560 --> 02:33:27.560
Gets dropped, and really...

02:33:27.560 --> 02:33:30.560
Oh, there is actually somebody not too far away.

02:33:30.560 --> 02:33:35.960
Maybe it isn't entirely lost here as Benjamaster comes in to save the day and they try and

02:33:35.960 --> 02:33:37.680
finish him off with a Twitch drone.

02:33:37.680 --> 02:33:40.720
It's actually going to leave a round up now.

02:33:40.720 --> 02:33:42.720
Hit it underneath for the grenade.

02:33:42.720 --> 02:33:46.280
It's more than enough and that still leaves a four versus two.

02:33:46.280 --> 02:33:51.320
Well that night came in pretty clutched there for, for stoppings that could have been a

02:33:51.320 --> 02:33:59.760
simulation ritual I get killed by the first round but there we are still down man

02:33:59.760 --> 02:34:06.440
smoke as well doesn't help drops down I mean diffuser is in a nasty spot too

02:34:06.440 --> 02:34:12.640
we'll be given fanatic a way back into this round that should be locked up

02:34:12.640 --> 02:34:19.160
here from G2 three versus two both players having a fan double up the box

02:34:19.160 --> 02:34:21.600
He's just there at the perfect time.

02:34:21.600 --> 02:34:28.780
And D-Pack, exactly where he is, all by himself now with that DMR in hand, while he can do

02:34:28.780 --> 02:34:30.780
a certain outfit.

02:34:30.780 --> 02:34:34.940
Some people give him some pics as long as G2 can sit in their hands and don't move.

02:34:34.940 --> 02:34:40.620
It'd be an easy round for him.

02:34:40.620 --> 02:34:44.020
It's the sort of similar things that you said towards the end of the last round, right?

02:34:44.020 --> 02:34:47.780
As you find yourself in this position on this map and at what point do you lose in attacking

02:34:47.780 --> 02:34:53.500
around on a chalet. You're often still outside the map quite late on. It's not a long map

02:34:53.500 --> 02:34:59.020
to get from outside to inside the site. You can do the transition quite quickly in a lot

02:34:59.020 --> 02:35:04.380
of places. Here having to rebuild from the back half of the map in its entirety and clear

02:35:04.380 --> 02:35:11.020
your way across. Yeah. It's going to sort of be the way it goes. It's in a row here

02:35:11.020 --> 02:35:15.460
for G2, but what is expected loss? What is that fallible loss?

02:35:15.460 --> 02:35:21.660
I think for Raphomatic, you've lost your wing comb right from the get-go.

02:35:21.660 --> 02:35:23.340
You lost missing the shield.

02:35:23.340 --> 02:35:27.980
Now Blackbeard is crucial for that top floor attack, because he's the only operator who's

02:35:27.980 --> 02:35:32.820
going to be able to get themselves in towards Piano safely and take that part of the map.

02:35:32.820 --> 02:35:36.620
Piano as we know can be a nightmare to push because there's about three different crossfires

02:35:36.620 --> 02:35:41.680
that you can set up from a defensive perspective, which makes it really difficult for attackers

02:35:41.680 --> 02:35:42.680
to get into that room.

02:35:42.680 --> 02:35:46.120
But if you have the shield, you can do that very easily.

02:35:46.120 --> 02:35:50.080
If you lose that shield, I would say in quite a cheap way as well.

02:35:50.080 --> 02:35:53.520
Like, stomping just that on blue stairs kills them.

02:35:53.520 --> 02:35:58.820
I think there's maybe a little bit of chasing the game almost different from Fnatic, knowing

02:35:58.820 --> 02:35:59.820
that they're one lap down.

02:35:59.820 --> 02:36:02.920
And maybe Smith's thinking, oh, I'm going to move in here, get the opening pick.

02:36:02.920 --> 02:36:04.640
You know, I hear there's an L in the stairs.

02:36:04.640 --> 02:36:05.640
I'll challenge that L.

02:36:05.640 --> 02:36:09.480
Fnatic needed to cool things down.

02:36:09.480 --> 02:36:13.920
And I think that Fnatic have clocked that, the coaching staff has clocked it, 2-0 down

02:36:13.920 --> 02:36:17.120
and they've used the timeout immediately, they know things aren't right, and things

02:36:17.120 --> 02:36:18.120
aren't right.

02:36:18.120 --> 02:36:24.440
It just, it's been very seldom for Fnatic, and G2 haven't had to do much, which I think

02:36:24.440 --> 02:36:25.440
is a scary thing.

02:36:25.440 --> 02:36:29.080
If you're not even pushing G2 to the limits of what you're doing on Lyre, this can go

02:36:29.080 --> 02:36:30.080
downhill very quickly.

02:36:30.080 --> 02:36:33.080
You two haven't really gotten out of second gear yet, have you?

02:36:42.080 --> 02:36:47.080
At this, an early time-out could herald the start of a collapse.

02:36:49.080 --> 02:36:55.080
It becomes that conversation. Now, last time they had their time-out on the previous map, it didn't really do any success.

02:36:55.080 --> 02:37:06.080
They're gonna need to build themselves towards the end of the game, at least got to a T, so maybe they have a bit more time to cook this time round, but otherwise it's just sort of steady on.

02:37:06.080 --> 02:37:11.080
And the fact that you obviously got, well across what, two rounds, three kills?

02:37:11.080 --> 02:37:21.080
It's the worry of just a year of the sort of concern of the four barrows and the foundations that were constructive.

02:37:21.080 --> 02:37:26.440
it before. On the first map, fine, we have a couple of players going big, Doki's getting

02:37:26.440 --> 02:37:32.800
some clotches, you're missing out on Alamow and a good of Shoko, and here they are. And

02:37:32.800 --> 02:37:41.760
well, there is still him, Doki, outside the window. Sort of sets the table. Yeah, same

02:37:41.760 --> 02:37:49.200
old issues for Fnatic. Here's the opening pick. There's not been a great start for

02:37:49.200 --> 02:38:00.200
G2, again, haven't really had to do much to get it as well, Wizards going free. Not a good start for him at all.

02:38:00.200 --> 02:38:07.200
Yeah, for Fnatic, just who's gonna step up now? There's another one gone.

02:38:07.200 --> 02:38:10.200
Hedgehog led the charge, he led the line and the game in gets there.

02:38:10.200 --> 02:38:16.200
He's not really having the same vibes here from Fnatic and Shallow, who's stepping up to the mark?

02:38:19.200 --> 02:38:27.240
unfortunately demo nobody an early sort of exit on towards that round as well

02:38:27.240 --> 02:38:30.580
whether the team took was to pay a bit more caution whether it was to sort of

02:38:30.580 --> 02:38:40.840
slow the pace down we'll see if the progression is something that is

02:38:40.840 --> 02:38:46.560
alleviated by the split of either these bands or maybe even the split of the

02:38:46.560 --> 02:38:52.640
itself from a very attack-asided opening map to three defences in a row G2 more

02:38:52.640 --> 02:38:56.680
worrying than anything it's a cruise control G2 I think it's fair to say

02:38:56.680 --> 02:39:00.800
their pace is very chill

02:39:02.920 --> 02:39:08.040
that time I did really at the time it makes things worse it looked like it

02:39:08.040 --> 02:39:15.960
did because I was from the easiest one that they've had yeah oh dear could be a

02:39:15.960 --> 02:39:20.960
A very quick second map here, the way that G2 are just flowing.

02:39:23.960 --> 02:39:28.960
Fanatic. Pressures on you, you need to make the move. You are on the attacks here.

02:39:30.960 --> 02:39:35.960
And you look at the line up. Again, what has really changed for me? It just seems like the same approach.

02:39:36.960 --> 02:39:43.960
You have a shield, you have some information operators and that's it. I mean, you don't even have the solid snake now, it's been banned off you.

02:39:43.960 --> 02:39:52.440
to look like there's any immediate change in the line-up what what is the game plan here for fanatic

02:39:52.440 --> 02:40:02.040
I mean it has to be something radically different I did almost has to be the revival of the band

02:40:02.040 --> 02:40:07.120
from the first map and remember how well they sort of approached it yeah it's a different sort of

02:40:07.120 --> 02:40:12.520
approach the worry is on shall I you might get you can't go right this map really it's you have to

02:40:12.520 --> 02:40:15.960
do a lot of different things for it if it plays a massive part in this map.

02:40:15.960 --> 02:40:20.440
Yeah, it's just, they're caution on their approach and the fact that they have to go

02:40:20.440 --> 02:40:23.080
for these wits and they can't just drive themselves direct to sight and then in the

02:40:23.080 --> 02:40:27.320
safety is something that I think is keeping them outside the building even more.

02:40:27.320 --> 02:40:34.600
There's a fear that gets put under you and we always knew it was going to be ice skating uphill

02:40:34.600 --> 02:40:41.320
on this map for them but you just don't really want them to forget what they're capable of,

02:40:41.320 --> 02:40:48.260
What got them to this point because it was pointed out before the series even began the growth that this team and roster and all has had

02:40:48.760 --> 02:40:50.520
so massive

02:40:50.520 --> 02:40:51.960
from

02:40:51.960 --> 02:40:53.960
bottom of the board to

02:40:54.880 --> 02:40:59.360
Contesting to almost taking a map off of the unbeaten G2 during the league itself

02:41:00.680 --> 02:41:05.240
Do they go out here or not? You just wanted to go out on their own terms in a manner

02:41:05.240 --> 02:41:12.000
First time in the mid playoffs, that has not happened before, headshot. Finally, bit of

02:41:12.000 --> 02:41:17.840
success here for Fanatic. They got the opening pick in this round. Now can they capitalise

02:41:17.840 --> 02:41:23.900
on that and they keep it moving? I mean look at the side here from G2, only one player remains

02:41:23.900 --> 02:41:27.560
upstairs and that's going to be stomping. You get Shifle played on the stairs and that's

02:41:27.560 --> 02:41:32.040
really excellent pressure from the player into a slot fireplace to make this happen

02:41:32.040 --> 02:41:36.080
and I do fear as though the shield is gonna visit him momentarily.

02:41:36.080 --> 02:41:39.240
Smith is gonna get himself set up in a position.

02:41:39.240 --> 02:41:44.040
Just have to be careful of course the blue stairs that is the danger spot right now.

02:41:44.040 --> 02:41:46.800
Good of course, native off and then maybe try and make the push but

02:41:46.800 --> 02:41:50.640
still for Stomp and he's by himself and now he feels as though the jaws are

02:41:50.640 --> 02:41:55.280
grasping around a water runner there from Doki and Benjy replies with a C4

02:41:55.280 --> 02:41:59.800
onto dead shot. You blink and you miss it. G2 in the lead.

02:41:59.800 --> 02:42:06.800
Oh dear, now what are you trying to do together, they're able to find the head of Sheik over

02:42:06.800 --> 02:42:07.800
there.

02:42:07.800 --> 02:42:12.800
It's not like G2's started just fucking things at the approaching attackers.

02:42:12.800 --> 02:42:16.400
Things have leveled off just a bit and with that there's no C4's left in pocket as well,

02:42:16.400 --> 02:42:20.560
they probably wished they'd held onto at least one of those, but there's also two day more

02:42:20.560 --> 02:42:24.320
strikes to play on the verticality, a single grenade to force out anyone on the supply

02:42:24.320 --> 02:42:25.320
line back.

02:42:25.320 --> 02:42:31.740
You stay attentive, catching the heads. What were you doing there stomping up through the

02:42:31.740 --> 02:42:34.360
verticality trying to find a kill on the hatch itself?

02:42:34.360 --> 02:42:38.160
D-Pek gets doki. This round!

02:42:38.160 --> 02:42:40.440
Flipped one way, blown the other.

02:42:40.440 --> 02:42:45.240
Now, Benja in a 1 vs 3 whilst being tracked.

02:42:45.240 --> 02:42:49.640
God, I mean, the Dover played their hand a bit here.

02:42:49.640 --> 02:42:52.160
D-Pek locks it in. Fanatic! Have a lifeline.

02:42:52.160 --> 02:42:57.760
that. Yeah, it seemed a bit

02:42:57.860 --> 02:42:59.060
G through the want the just to

02:42:59.160 --> 02:43:00.660
fall back into the bomb site,

02:43:00.760 --> 02:43:02.260
but then they kind of realized

02:43:02.360 --> 02:43:04.060
there's maybe too many of us in

02:43:04.160 --> 02:43:05.060
this bomb site and there's not

02:43:05.160 --> 02:43:07.060
enough safe positions to sit in

02:43:07.160 --> 02:43:08.060
and then they start getting

02:43:08.160 --> 02:43:10.560
picked off from the open hatches.

02:43:10.660 --> 02:43:12.560
And yes, it was, I think fanatic

02:43:12.660 --> 02:43:14.060
in that free V three make it the

02:43:14.160 --> 02:43:16.060
free V two because I think that's

02:43:16.160 --> 02:43:17.560
stop and I think he died to the

02:43:17.660 --> 02:43:19.560
hatch that Smith was on. Once

02:43:19.660 --> 02:43:21.560
that happens, then fanatic and

02:43:21.560 --> 02:43:49.560
out because there ain't too many strong positions you can really set. In that sight, if you see two players die from Fnatic in very quick back to back fashion, Fnatic, well, something to blow at, got one round back, G2 would still say they'll be feeling confident as you can just do the same rotation again, bar didn't work, but look where they go, straight in towards that top floor.

02:43:49.560 --> 02:43:56.300
the game. Exactly. They have

02:43:56.360 --> 02:43:57.500
the sort of stretch, right?

02:43:57.560 --> 02:43:58.500
They have the ability to keep

02:43:58.560 --> 02:43:59.640
themselves moving, keep themselves

02:43:59.700 --> 02:44:01.000
going. Now, it's not that

02:44:01.060 --> 02:44:02.440
they're incapable of

02:44:02.500 --> 02:44:04.140
responding. To be fair, when you

02:44:04.200 --> 02:44:05.340
hit towards the previous map and

02:44:05.400 --> 02:44:06.540
the time out for an addict took,

02:44:06.600 --> 02:44:07.840
it actually only really started

02:44:07.900 --> 02:44:09.140
to cook when they went back to

02:44:09.200 --> 02:44:10.480
sites, when they went back to

02:44:10.540 --> 02:44:11.980
the top floor and then they're

02:44:12.040 --> 02:44:13.020
able to get themselves in

02:44:13.080 --> 02:44:14.620
towards OT with the defences.

02:44:14.680 --> 02:44:17.980
So maybe maybe they're sort of

02:44:17.980 --> 02:44:31.980
Well, we'll go back here and when we do, let's do this. We'll go back here. I mean, it's just so obviously to break down the answer, but they do have a good active response for things that have otherwise already gone away from them.

02:44:31.980 --> 02:44:34.700
Let's see. Direct click communication, but...

02:44:35.900 --> 02:44:38.700
What's kind of missing here from the guns of fanatic is...

02:44:39.420 --> 02:44:41.500
Well, the guns of fanatic.

02:44:41.740 --> 02:44:44.700
Deepak and Citizen looking at themselves as a few bodies of peace and...

02:44:45.580 --> 02:44:46.300
Missing...

02:44:47.100 --> 02:44:50.060
I was gonna say, Missing Wesson, but...

02:44:51.340 --> 02:44:57.980
Unfortunately, that is holstered and put to bed as he is. No blackbeard, no dokebeat, no wizards, no magic.

02:44:57.980 --> 02:45:02.980
Is there anybody in the building? I don't think so.

02:45:05.980 --> 02:45:10.980
He hops. All mine goes off. Take me where he is, but he too.

02:45:10.980 --> 02:45:14.980
You know they have the numbers game, they can just heal back.

02:45:14.980 --> 02:45:16.980
These traps are some nightmare.

02:45:16.980 --> 02:45:20.980
The fanatic trying to find these kills back and ditch.

02:45:20.980 --> 02:45:22.980
I just don't see him know where he is.

02:45:22.980 --> 02:45:24.980
And we've been here before

02:45:25.980 --> 02:45:27.980
Fanatic in the 2v4

02:45:27.980 --> 02:45:32.820
It wasn't the same two players as well last time we were on this top floor, and I don't know it could have been

02:45:33.660 --> 02:45:35.660
They just have to hope that they can

02:45:35.820 --> 02:45:37.820
Find some kills back Shaco

02:45:38.540 --> 02:45:43.780
He's right besides citizen. He's holding on to that a little bit gap in towards the top fireplace there

02:45:43.780 --> 02:45:48.060
Stammer track goes off so isn't he's gonna get strong it was off again still check

02:45:48.060 --> 02:45:50.060
This was a challenge.

02:45:50.060 --> 02:45:52.060
Holy get-tunny-way.

02:45:52.060 --> 02:45:54.060
He wanted a fair fight.

02:45:55.060 --> 02:45:57.060
It's like he wants to be an equal machinery.

02:45:57.060 --> 02:45:59.060
He doesn't want to...

02:46:00.060 --> 02:46:02.060
He doesn't need the gadgetry.

02:46:02.060 --> 02:46:04.060
There's a gun game.

02:46:04.060 --> 02:46:05.060
4-1.

02:46:05.060 --> 02:46:09.060
The fanatic resurgence has quickly been...

02:46:10.060 --> 02:46:13.060
sort of patted on the head and put back down.

02:46:13.060 --> 02:46:19.000
One more round in the half, one more chance for them to get themselves just a little bit

02:46:19.000 --> 02:46:25.580
extra hope because the worry is obviously on the split side of it, you suddenly find

02:46:25.580 --> 02:46:31.380
yourself having to defend against a G2 approach on Chalet.

02:46:31.380 --> 02:46:36.860
You know, you're looking towards the grand scheme of how teams have played and where

02:46:36.860 --> 02:46:40.540
they've sort of been stronger. G2 is the second best attacking team in the league.

02:46:42.940 --> 02:46:46.140
And you look towards maps and how they're sort of playing things, shall we?

02:46:47.100 --> 02:46:53.100
Actually, one of the lowest attacking success rates for the league itself. It's had a bit of a

02:46:53.100 --> 02:46:57.980
defensive upswing, but they only have to potentially make it land once. That's the problem, right? They

02:46:57.980 --> 02:47:04.300
just need across all of the half a singular sort of chance to guarantee themselves 18, and then

02:47:04.300 --> 02:47:07.300
And then they can double it down on that map, on that site.

02:47:15.300 --> 02:47:20.300
And I don't need this round to really keep them in this fixture.

02:47:20.300 --> 02:47:24.300
The 5-1 effort went back from against G2 on the attacks.

02:47:24.300 --> 02:47:26.300
That is not favourable.

02:47:27.300 --> 02:47:29.300
Really important that they can walk away.

02:47:29.300 --> 02:47:32.300
At least a 4-2, then maybe it's doable, but...

02:47:32.300 --> 02:47:36.300
So I think G2 got all the cards in their hands that they can put up by.

02:47:37.180 --> 02:47:38.860
Uh, Benjo just... okay.

02:47:39.580 --> 02:47:40.060
You okay?

02:47:40.060 --> 02:47:42.300
They get tossed to a window and each stands there.

02:47:43.020 --> 02:47:44.860
It happens. It happens to the best of us.

02:47:46.060 --> 02:47:47.740
Sometimes you keyboard disconnects.

02:47:49.020 --> 02:47:51.580
Stomper gets miss, levels things back up, there's no more sledge.

02:47:52.300 --> 02:47:54.940
And there's limitation and that's off the structure of clearance.

02:47:56.060 --> 02:48:01.660
Across the top on what can be, pretty vertical attack and in some ways a vertical hold.

02:48:01.660 --> 02:48:04.900
stomping in the meantime. Something to explore underneath.

02:48:04.900 --> 02:48:08.600
He'll be trying to move his way up, but as long as he's there, he can apply pressure

02:48:08.600 --> 02:48:11.860
from somewhere upstairs. He can sort of swing on towards the fireplace. It's actually hoping

02:48:11.860 --> 02:48:20.580
somebody maybe dabbles down, goes for a rotate, but well, nobody is.

02:48:20.580 --> 02:48:24.580
Instead, they're just drifting their way across. There's somebody bottom blue as well. They've

02:48:24.580 --> 02:48:28.980
got themselves ready for a bit of a pinch here. How aware are they? Seemingly quite,

02:48:28.980 --> 02:48:36.100
citizen getting a great take on towards Shaco. Do they expect seconds? There's the... well,

02:48:36.100 --> 02:48:41.220
it doesn't matter if they expect it. It's jumping. Gonna get their way out. You can see citizens

02:48:41.220 --> 02:48:45.220
obviously reading all of this towards the team and now they know that they could potentially

02:48:45.220 --> 02:48:50.580
just drive themselves on. But a minute 20, we're gonna try and formulate next.

02:48:50.580 --> 02:49:07.220
He's in a very bad position right beside the windows citizen.

02:49:07.220 --> 02:49:08.220
Does he know?

02:49:08.220 --> 02:49:11.660
That's enough is all he does and maybe you can find a pick in the deep pack.

02:49:11.660 --> 02:49:13.260
There's a nowhere in this DMR.

02:49:13.260 --> 02:49:15.260
Table to take him down

02:49:15.460 --> 02:49:17.460
Doki is on

02:49:17.700 --> 02:49:19.380
Lever of HP

02:49:19.380 --> 02:49:24.140
It's a 2v3 and really you look forward stomp in the trying salvage this round for G2

02:49:28.300 --> 02:49:32.820
Well, they say it would make magic happen before but fortunately that's not the correct spell

02:49:33.660 --> 02:49:35.100
Doki

02:49:35.100 --> 02:49:37.760
One HP three players 30 seconds

02:49:37.760 --> 02:49:45.760
There's a great gun to do it on, but you think about the fact that there's still obviously two grenades, two smokes, and oh they've got TMRs there, right?

02:49:45.760 --> 02:49:53.760
Yeah, and all this one pieced together. He's making sure he can keep an eye on any of the potential drops and half his back towards something.

02:49:53.760 --> 02:50:12.760
I mean he had to hit everything perfectly there he couldn't and that does give them at least a little bit of ground, a bit of land to stand on and float, but you and I were floating over to the studio.

02:50:12.760 --> 02:50:23.760
It is at least something for Fnatic here on that first half, but for G2 so far they took a page out of what happened to them yesterday and learned from their losses and used it against Fnatic this time around.

02:50:23.760 --> 02:50:40.760
It's a mix of utility usage to try and lay their defense and a mix of their aggression going unpunished in general. I feel like it's a mix of on the one side we have Fnatic being used to, I guess, clearing them, going direct on there, being able to go through and spearhead their way into the bomb site.

02:50:40.760 --> 02:50:44.360
Here's the problem, Jack. Today, they cannot get themselves in the building.

02:50:44.360 --> 02:50:47.360
They cannot problem solve the most basic strong position on Shelly.

02:50:47.360 --> 02:50:48.960
And that's exactly what was happening on that, right?

02:50:48.960 --> 02:50:50.560
Like, G2 were extending all over the place.

02:50:50.560 --> 02:50:52.160
They weren't really playing around G utility.

02:50:52.160 --> 02:50:53.760
And that's when they were going down, right?

02:50:53.760 --> 02:50:56.560
Tripling up, quadrupling up, were finding success.

02:50:56.560 --> 02:50:59.760
You get over to G2 on Shelly, and suddenly it's a compact G2.

02:50:59.760 --> 02:51:02.560
Suddenly it's a G2 that doesn't really want to be roaming too much,

02:51:02.560 --> 02:51:04.360
but playing very, very close together.

02:51:04.360 --> 02:51:07.360
Other than the final round where they were out on a bit of a risky roam.

02:51:07.360 --> 02:51:08.760
I'm going to quiz you, Lia.

02:51:08.760 --> 02:51:11.720
How many rounds of Fenrir was played by G2?

02:51:11.720 --> 02:51:12.520
I would say six.

02:51:12.520 --> 02:51:13.020
Six.

02:51:13.020 --> 02:51:15.800
How many rounds of Aruni was played by G2?

02:51:15.800 --> 02:51:16.360
Six, DMR.

02:51:16.360 --> 02:51:16.860
Five.

02:51:16.860 --> 02:51:17.360
Five.

02:51:17.360 --> 02:51:19.320
How many rounds of Ella was played?

02:51:19.320 --> 02:51:19.820
Five.

02:51:19.820 --> 02:51:20.320
Four.

02:51:20.320 --> 02:51:20.820
Four.

02:51:20.820 --> 02:51:21.320
Close.

02:51:21.320 --> 02:51:21.820
Close.

02:51:21.820 --> 02:51:25.400
But those types of operators are basically what G2 would bring in and then just sit in

02:51:25.400 --> 02:51:29.480
behind, allowing fanatics to just waste their time and just wiggle, wobble, dilly-dabble,

02:51:29.480 --> 02:51:32.240
like just try and clear all that utility and then hit this.

02:51:32.240 --> 02:51:34.920
Gobi doobie bee dee baba, I can do it too.

02:51:34.920 --> 02:51:37.240
Just come up with random words.

02:51:37.240 --> 02:51:38.520
Gobi Google dabble.

02:51:38.520 --> 02:51:41.400
That's exactly what Plessy were doing when they were trying to clear the utility,

02:51:41.400 --> 02:51:44.840
and then they were running out of time in G2 with Caps Lazen and just shutting them down

02:51:44.840 --> 02:51:46.760
when they had to walk hallways and dollways.

02:51:46.760 --> 02:51:49.080
And you know what's scary, Anne, here it's in this position.

02:51:49.080 --> 02:51:52.600
G2, they go back to their strong side, the attacks once again.

02:51:52.600 --> 02:51:56.840
What makes them so strong is their ability to go and problem-solve things in front of them.

02:51:56.840 --> 02:52:02.600
I think on a map where Shelly is much smaller, it will be a problem for them,

02:52:02.600 --> 02:52:05.240
actually will serve their speed takes much better.

02:52:05.240 --> 02:52:09.240
It's so easy. It's a map where you need to play in multiple positions.

02:52:09.240 --> 02:52:11.080
Just think of the library takes, for example.

02:52:11.080 --> 02:52:13.400
If someone can't hide, you need someone on Snow balcony,

02:52:13.400 --> 02:52:16.120
you need two players on library side, and maybe someone going to the games.

02:52:16.120 --> 02:52:17.800
You need to play split on that map.

02:52:17.800 --> 02:52:20.040
It feels naturally the playstyle of YouTube.

02:52:20.040 --> 02:52:21.720
That's the thing. There's always...

02:52:21.720 --> 02:52:24.120
The whole idea of playing split is what you want to do is you want to surround.

02:52:24.120 --> 02:52:26.200
When you're on the attack, you want to surround the defenders,

02:52:26.200 --> 02:52:29.080
and you force a five versus four or less,

02:52:29.080 --> 02:52:31.720
because eventually when you trade each other out, you'll take the ground,

02:52:31.720 --> 02:52:32.920
you'll do it a fast pace of time,

02:52:32.920 --> 02:52:35.560
And if you look, you'll have a big amount of damage at the same.

02:52:35.560 --> 02:52:40.120
Shelly fits itself so well to that, because you can just cut off the map entirely from one direction.

02:52:40.120 --> 02:52:43.960
And look at those bands on the side of G2. They banned the Azami, so no strong positions,

02:52:43.960 --> 02:52:47.960
and they banned the Aruni. They're best DMR in the game right now, especially important for all

02:52:47.960 --> 02:52:50.520
of these long line of sights when you're trying to hold the top floor.

02:52:50.520 --> 02:52:54.120
And Aruni can of course close off free entryways in society. You know, think about, for example,

02:52:54.120 --> 02:52:56.200
the top floor, you've got the solar windows, you've got the bathroom window, you've got the

02:52:56.200 --> 02:52:59.320
double window, you've got the office balcony, you've got the piano door, you've got the piano

02:52:59.320 --> 02:53:02.520
window. Aruni can close three of those off, so that's a great one from G2.

02:53:02.920 --> 02:53:06.260
So it seems they don't want to fall for the same mistakes as what happened yesterday.

02:53:06.260 --> 02:53:11.260
G2 are potentially three rounds away from qualification to EWC Panet.

02:53:11.260 --> 02:53:13.260
This really is your last chance.

02:53:15.260 --> 02:53:18.260
And what are they serving in last chance Saloon Double?

02:53:18.260 --> 02:53:22.260
No, tough round with defense here on the chalet.

02:53:22.260 --> 02:53:27.260
What we need to get from dead shots missing the wizard, I think, is a bit of those sort of bodies put down

02:53:27.260 --> 02:53:29.260
and they can carry in the meantime.

02:53:29.260 --> 02:53:35.700
G2, that first map was teething issues. The second map seems to be they remember they

02:53:35.700 --> 02:53:38.260
have a bark and a bite.

02:53:38.260 --> 02:53:46.540
Fnatic, this is it. This is going to have to be a lot of heck of a half. Same way that

02:53:46.540 --> 02:53:53.780
we kind of said that G2, they have an uphill struggle on layer. I think Fnatic are very

02:53:53.780 --> 02:53:59.380
much in a similar boat. They have to try and battle back. I mean I think the G2 and their

02:53:59.380 --> 02:54:05.220
attacks, they look really good on that. You know that kind of split theory comes into play,

02:54:05.220 --> 02:54:10.020
where they're always looking for gaps, banjafan a few of them. They use that extra man so well,

02:54:10.020 --> 02:54:16.180
so he's gonna try and stop that opening pick from happening, don't give away. I think I killed

02:54:16.180 --> 02:54:19.940
so early on in the round. I think if you lose, you can kill. If you're outside,

02:54:19.940 --> 02:54:27.940
The next few are fine, or maybe win the first minute, but losing it straight away within the first three seconds is not great.

02:54:28.940 --> 02:54:30.940
They're in, they've funded.

02:54:31.940 --> 02:54:35.940
Yeah, I want to interrupt you, they wanted to interrupt you instead.

02:54:35.940 --> 02:54:39.940
Detrubbers find the first body, but it's the first of five.

02:54:39.940 --> 02:54:45.940
It's the sort of gap through here, the fact that it was a all ten players standing, G2 saw an opportunity and went for it.

02:54:45.940 --> 02:54:49.420
there's two but there's 22 seconds left on the block they still need to try and

02:54:49.420 --> 02:54:52.440
drive towards the site and stomping as the coverage because that's the problem

02:54:52.440 --> 02:54:56.260
on this retake you have to get outside the building citizen get your kill on

02:54:56.260 --> 02:54:59.000
the other side deadshot gets the most important one and that leaves John

02:54:59.000 --> 02:55:04.000
Alamow oh can he get this shot can he get the angle he's trying to clear his way

02:55:04.000 --> 02:55:09.140
through and pre-firing he can't quite find it and they find the diffuse well

02:55:09.140 --> 02:55:11.140
Well that's the way to start.

02:55:12.140 --> 02:55:14.140
Wow. The Denari trap.

02:55:15.140 --> 02:55:19.140
There's a maybe, there's a possibility that Alamo could have won that if he wasn't slowed.

02:55:20.140 --> 02:55:23.140
Cause he had the raid, they had no idea he was there.

02:55:24.140 --> 02:55:29.140
But he just took so long to get set up to go for the wall bang.

02:55:32.140 --> 02:55:37.140
Fnatic just about get there. G2 have attempted the first round rush which...

02:55:39.140 --> 02:55:43.940
It was successful in terms of getting the flat down, but I'll lose the round.

02:55:44.940 --> 02:55:47.140
Fanatic, I've reacted well to that.

02:55:48.340 --> 02:55:52.540
So that's the bar, picked off, and I'll move in towards that top floor.

02:55:57.140 --> 02:55:59.140
It's a way for things to begin.

02:55:59.540 --> 02:56:01.940
Now, I'm not gonna say it's a good way for things to begin,

02:56:01.940 --> 02:56:05.940
but hey, some stories start with a little bit of a sordid tale

02:56:05.940 --> 02:56:11.140
and find themselves to a nice bit of success towards the end that a plant going down and

02:56:11.140 --> 02:56:15.300
everybody's still playing there is sort of a real me-day-day closure that comes across the airwaves.

02:56:16.740 --> 02:56:21.300
They land it, that's the important part of it. They were able to win their ones with their

02:56:21.300 --> 02:56:29.140
engagement to fight out. Obviously the fact that G2 weren't quite able to get those comparisons,

02:56:29.140 --> 02:56:34.100
one of those engagements goes away, maybe we're looking at a fight. But it didn't, and that's

02:56:34.100 --> 02:56:39.340
the fact is the story can start in the manner that it means to continue here

02:56:39.340 --> 02:56:43.580
fanatic they could try in level things up very quickly indeed that first round

02:56:43.580 --> 02:56:48.380
almost a blip and a sort of energy find it limits the size that you can pick but

02:56:48.380 --> 02:56:52.980
suddenly you've gone from half time to a three versus four within about 40 seconds

02:56:52.980 --> 02:56:56.660
okay we'll take that

02:56:56.660 --> 02:57:01.140
control the role in a ventell you can see duty love to play their sort of

02:57:01.140 --> 02:57:03.140
probing probing game

02:57:04.500 --> 02:57:09.980
How aware are they of these engagements? There was often quite a lot of external that happened in GT's fights

02:57:11.660 --> 02:57:16.900
Phenatic there, maybe wanting to do the same thing. He sort of said look I know you know that I'm here

02:57:22.220 --> 02:57:28.380
This they get themselves a stretch pressure until a fanatic starts full-bodied back demo

02:57:28.380 --> 02:57:37.380
I like this G2, hard aim, one of the big wing coms of a player inside a closet, dpegs and

02:57:37.380 --> 02:57:41.380
nasty shot in the gokey but the wall's still opened up, he's still gonna just remain where

02:57:41.380 --> 02:57:42.380
he is.

02:57:42.380 --> 02:57:46.980
Now for G2 it's getting somebody who's rotating and trying to play with those openings.

02:57:46.980 --> 02:57:50.980
But for Fnatic once again, he's gonna sit in their hands, I mean a few of them are pinching

02:57:50.980 --> 02:57:55.860
very difficult positions but for G2 they're really struggling and he's trying his best

02:57:55.860 --> 02:57:58.860
about but not moving at all. Deadshot just

02:57:58.860 --> 02:58:00.860
remains where he is. Look at his HP as well.

02:58:00.860 --> 02:58:03.860
Single one of those bullets landed and he beats

02:58:03.860 --> 02:58:07.860
and Stomp and finds them. Minute or so remaining.

02:58:07.860 --> 02:58:10.860
There's a messy round here from G2. The D-Pect goes down.

02:58:10.860 --> 02:58:13.860
That's the player that they needed to find. Citizen, a great shot.

02:58:13.860 --> 02:58:15.860
Takes down the big window player and look at that.

02:58:15.860 --> 02:58:18.860
Rotates. Citizen realizes that nobody can stop me now

02:58:18.860 --> 02:58:21.860
from rotating around the bomb site and he does just that

02:58:21.860 --> 02:58:29.420
into closet the danger position. They're gonna try and root him out from underneath and rip stem.

02:58:29.420 --> 02:58:35.660
Instead the player they've got is on the other side of the map right now. 40 seconds and they

02:58:35.660 --> 02:58:40.620
still try and just punch upwards, build themselves back and towards the site itself, another track,

02:58:40.620 --> 02:58:43.820
another bit of motion, but as you said they're not really scared about moving in the site right now

02:58:43.820 --> 02:58:48.500
because they know with another game, the players that they've cleared there's nobody to immediately

02:58:48.500 --> 02:58:51.940
brush them off. The closet's the power position and they're knocking on the door a bit.

02:58:51.940 --> 02:58:56.580
Ooh, but this slipped by, it's gonna be a narrow engagement, it's gonna be a game of

02:58:56.580 --> 02:59:00.340
inches and all the one who could just find the difference is actually fanatic!

02:59:00.340 --> 02:59:02.340
They've tied things up!

02:59:03.460 --> 02:59:07.540
Oh, Smith's needed to make that short happen and he did so.

02:59:08.820 --> 02:59:14.260
A citizen was hold on the closet was not aware that Dokeby was right beside him that close.

02:59:14.260 --> 02:59:19.420
and just miss. Almost saved by the bookshelf wasn't it as well, couldn't get shot in the back.

02:59:19.420 --> 02:59:26.980
But fanatic. I think they've adapted really well with what was happening in that round.

02:59:26.980 --> 02:59:31.700
They've seen what G2 were attempting. G2 looking to play into it back from window,

02:59:31.700 --> 02:59:37.700
shot from deep end, fantastic. And it's the shot this citizen hits. There was a way that he was

02:59:37.700 --> 02:59:41.860
then able to retake. It was another problem that G2 had to solve. They had to use the

02:59:41.860 --> 02:59:43.860
They have to solve that

02:59:44.700 --> 02:59:49.700
But they still help help their brand they were winning their engagements and we're all square

02:59:59.060 --> 03:00:05.180
We got a game on demo we got a game on obviously this is in some ways across the best of three series the biggest

03:00:05.180 --> 03:00:08.780
The third one is this map, this chalet.

03:00:08.780 --> 03:00:11.940
We sort of called it as soon as we got to the fan phase,

03:00:11.940 --> 03:00:15.020
that this is a place that they've been so solid in.

03:00:15.020 --> 03:00:17.060
G2, they know how to play chalet,

03:00:17.060 --> 03:00:19.660
they love sort of getting themselves set up on it.

03:00:19.660 --> 03:00:21.660
They've got the recent four in a record.

03:00:22.900 --> 03:00:24.900
Oh no, sorry, three in a record,

03:00:25.860 --> 03:00:28.540
including secret VP, Trist of Mines.

03:00:28.540 --> 03:00:31.260
In the meantime, Fanatec struggles, lost to Rebels.

03:00:31.260 --> 03:00:38.140
only going two rounds four weeks ago here obviously already doubles that

03:00:38.140 --> 03:00:43.980
performance against a GT that's fired up then we have a lift towards cafe there's

03:00:43.980 --> 03:00:51.120
our potential decider a map that both have these big troubles on so maybe at the

03:00:51.120 --> 03:00:56.380
intensity of that first map the dream of fanatic going into national and doing it

03:00:56.380 --> 03:01:00.380
but the cost of G2 is too far away, but that's not how you reach the stars.

03:01:02.380 --> 03:01:09.380
Yep, Doki gets his own back against D-Pack, exact same engagement as it was last time, but Doki wins it out.

03:01:09.380 --> 03:01:14.380
He does still go down, Benj is able to keep that advantage in G2's hands.

03:01:15.380 --> 03:01:20.380
G2 has still got a lot of information they can apply, but Doki and you've got that demo super star.

03:01:20.380 --> 03:01:24.740
fire out these pings, I'm going to switch straight in through the try and get the upper hand against

03:01:24.740 --> 03:01:31.900
that shot and he does so. G2, they have slight control. Smith and Citizen going to be stopped

03:01:31.900 --> 03:01:36.940
by the player in big window. Yeah, Smith, as I see your flames right in front of you,

03:01:36.940 --> 03:01:42.940
that's the try and contend. Gets that rappel. At least we G2 finally broke that deadlock

03:01:42.940 --> 03:01:46.980
and they got their first attack on the board. G2 back in the lead.

03:01:46.980 --> 03:01:53.260
And no time like the present right obviously if that had slipped away and they'd suffered three in a row especially in the manner

03:01:54.020 --> 03:01:55.540
that they weren't

03:01:55.540 --> 03:02:01.300
You would probably have you know called the timeout called the worry called the conversation there and to set before

03:02:02.220 --> 03:02:05.300
Before we once show when you they only had to make it land at one side

03:02:05.900 --> 03:02:11.380
Technically they would prefer to sort of drive this one all the way to bed and they're very capable of doing it

03:02:11.380 --> 03:02:39.140
Now, no Deimos, no Ella, that's the other removal.

03:02:39.140 --> 03:02:47.240
attack. Yeah, I think it's for G2, it's again, whenever they can see that gap, and Alamo

03:02:47.240 --> 03:02:52.320
is fantastic at it, yeah. As soon as they know that somebody's out of position, or if

03:02:52.320 --> 03:02:56.640
they see that nobody's in a position, they will take that, and they will all break their

03:02:56.640 --> 03:03:02.540
backs to play around that call Alamo has. You know, and I'm sure, well, one thing that

03:03:02.540 --> 03:03:07.080
Leo and Jack get, they can hear the team comes, you know, we only hear the little

03:03:07.080 --> 03:03:13.480
end bits. I'm sure if I ask them, you know, is everyone listening to Alamow and calling off that,

03:03:13.480 --> 03:03:14.840
and it's all working well for them.

03:03:21.160 --> 03:03:27.240
This with the eleban. There's the chance that those drives are a little bit slowed down.

03:03:29.800 --> 03:03:32.520
It's pretty clean route in towards the heart of the site itself.

03:03:32.520 --> 03:03:37.140
probably not going to get away with the safe plant fraught they did before but

03:03:37.140 --> 03:03:43.580
ooh do they know that's wizard it is just hiding towards red this could be a

03:03:43.580 --> 03:03:50.040
very very surprise opening here for Q2 it is good by Benja and a bit of a

03:03:50.040 --> 03:03:53.040
it. I'll be around for a while right now.

03:03:56.040 --> 03:03:59.040
Avenger, off the board. Madic.

03:03:59.040 --> 03:04:02.040
Start for them. Very early on.

03:04:04.040 --> 03:04:09.040
P2, between the library is on the menu for them.

03:04:09.040 --> 03:04:12.040
Got Shaco outside the library.

03:04:12.040 --> 03:04:14.040
Get the drones working done.

03:04:14.040 --> 03:04:17.040
Of course having the airjobs can stop the retake.

03:04:17.040 --> 03:04:20.840
that does occur from time to time whenever you go for the library started take

03:04:21.560 --> 03:04:25.880
All players from the defense will try and wrote up the staircase to challenge you in the air jam

03:04:25.880 --> 03:04:28.320
Just gonna give them that extra bit of support

03:04:30.120 --> 03:04:32.720
Again in as we know can be pretty difficult as

03:04:33.120 --> 03:04:39.440
Made issue again into libraries both the windows can be held very easily from below one from the hands and the other

03:04:39.560 --> 03:04:42.240
Convertals that can be made inside of connector

03:04:42.240 --> 03:04:51.200
I think it comes down to see how much grand they can take and again it comes down to the

03:04:51.200 --> 03:04:52.400
calling I'm sure for Maladon.

03:04:52.400 --> 03:04:54.880
He's currently downstairs in the basement.

03:04:54.880 --> 03:04:59.240
I believe he opened up the connector wall just to put a little bit of pressure on to

03:04:59.240 --> 03:05:06.240
players in the site and removes the one safe room that you can sit in.

03:05:06.240 --> 03:05:10.160
Still for G2, I think that they need to find the picks here to try and open up the bombsite

03:05:10.160 --> 03:05:23.800
little bit more. Just struggled with the rope there. They're going to put the pressure

03:05:23.800 --> 03:05:27.800
here across the top and start on the bottom as well. Instead, they can get one more body.

03:05:27.800 --> 03:05:31.840
They can try and balance things up. The binari is not quite falling for that. Just yet, instead,

03:05:31.840 --> 03:05:35.960
actually, Shiko is going to go for the core. Now, it's the same thing that we talked about

03:05:35.960 --> 03:05:39.680
for the man advantage and how it sort of plays into you with this.

03:05:39.680 --> 03:05:43.320
As soon as you're trying to then get in the building, they can just double up on these

03:05:43.320 --> 03:05:45.800
dangerous door and window angles so cleanly.

03:05:45.800 --> 03:05:50.280
Halimao is hoping he can catch us all this, but again, there's always the threat of the

03:05:50.280 --> 03:05:53.960
multiple avenues that you can get caught on and they don't need to swing.

03:05:53.960 --> 03:05:58.120
Twenty seconds, they still have the foundations of the site itself, just gets one.

03:05:58.120 --> 03:06:00.720
I'm just trying to find one, but he won't!

03:06:00.720 --> 03:06:04.040
Instead, we find the word flawless showing up on our screen.

03:06:04.040 --> 03:06:06.040
Probably a time out.

03:06:08.280 --> 03:06:09.080
Hmm...

03:06:10.160 --> 03:06:14.400
See if they want to go for it for G2, because this half hasn't been great, and I suppose that...

03:06:15.080 --> 03:06:19.480
It did win that round before the round that we just seem to be played out, so...

03:06:20.840 --> 03:06:22.320
I'm curious if they go for it in the R.

03:06:22.320 --> 03:06:28.400
So I think for Amalio, he doesn't want to let it be, again, an infanatic favour where they go 6-5 up.

03:06:28.760 --> 03:06:30.520
He wants to try and stop it at the 5-5.

03:06:33.000 --> 03:06:33.640
Um...

03:06:34.040 --> 03:06:42.840
I think for G2, it kind of comes down to fanatic playing very passive. Fanatic not wanting to

03:06:42.840 --> 03:06:51.000
get into the early gunfights with G2, they're happy enough to sit behind their U-Till. And

03:06:51.000 --> 03:06:55.760
sometimes I think that for G2, they love playing for those early engagements because they can

03:06:55.760 --> 03:06:59.200
find those early picks and then that creates the gaps and the opportunity spliting that

03:06:59.200 --> 03:07:04.720
G2 like to play around. So for Fnatic, I think they're adapting very well. They're not allowing

03:07:04.720 --> 03:07:10.240
G2 to have kind of run of the fields, let them pick up kills here, there and everywhere.

03:07:10.240 --> 03:07:13.960
Maybe sure you'll get some trades, it'll go into the 3v3s, but that's where G2 want you

03:07:13.960 --> 03:07:22.960
to be. G2 don't want to play the siege where it's a 5v5. They find that very difficult.

03:07:22.960 --> 03:07:27.920
I think it's, is it something that they thought of entirely

03:07:27.920 --> 03:07:32.880
in the game because we complimented their play in terms of when they have the man advantage?

03:07:32.880 --> 03:07:38.680
Yeah, but do you think that sort of style of play, would you describe that as a style

03:07:38.680 --> 03:07:43.120
of play in terms of when they don't have a man advantage, everything falls apart?

03:07:43.120 --> 03:07:48.480
No, because I think they've shown that they've got players who can clutch, which I think

03:07:48.480 --> 03:07:51.680
is the measure of a great team, which they two are.

03:07:51.680 --> 03:07:57.280
But I think a lot of sides will obviously struggle if you don't get the open engagement.

03:07:57.280 --> 03:08:00.680
But I feel for GT, I think they're a side which just thrives in chaos.

03:08:00.680 --> 03:08:04.680
I think they're a team which lacks it with some early engagement.

03:08:04.680 --> 03:08:08.280
Sure, they might lose some, but I think they're always hunting for those picks.

03:08:08.280 --> 03:08:11.680
They always want to play from that man advantage.

03:08:11.680 --> 03:08:14.080
Even 2v3s, I think they can work with it.

03:08:14.080 --> 03:08:18.680
I think it's more if it's a full 5v5 and there's so much util that they have to go through.

03:08:18.680 --> 03:08:20.680
I think they can sometimes find it difficult.

03:08:20.680 --> 03:08:35.180
Mostly because I think, naturally, if you look at their team, all of their players from kind of whenever they joined professional play or they first started off, all of them are kill-minded players.

03:08:37.180 --> 03:08:40.680
Well, there's two kills that immediately come to mind. Doki for Smith.

03:08:40.680 --> 03:08:48.040
The point of the IQ is obviously pulled apart, but at the cost of a warm-up, you're only

03:08:48.040 --> 03:08:51.660
really going to get stronger as the round continues, you're looking at a decent selection

03:08:51.660 --> 03:08:53.160
of pressure on it.

03:08:53.160 --> 03:08:58.640
Obviously, the Grimby's, the chance of flashes, the drive round, but otherwise, this point's

03:08:58.640 --> 03:09:03.240
going to turn into something where there's really any chance of mobility towards those

03:09:03.240 --> 03:09:08.320
citizens down, how aware they'll be, and whether the play will get back up, I guess, as a

03:09:08.320 --> 03:09:12.480
for tell obviously it's around the side of ivy they're going to use in this bait

03:09:12.480 --> 03:09:15.840
they've gone fishing for the bodies that might try and cross the windows and well

03:09:15.840 --> 03:09:19.120
there's the call actually finishing with that why not

03:09:19.120 --> 03:09:23.920
great demonstration of the new ability there's definitely no chance

03:09:23.920 --> 03:09:29.280
to stop that being stopped yep dead shot takes a lot of damage though

03:09:29.280 --> 03:09:35.920
a few shots will finish them off slowly trying to worm their way into these

03:09:35.920 --> 03:09:40.540
tricky positions, you look at where Wizard is, and we're towards Solar Stairs, and deep

03:09:40.540 --> 03:09:48.660
back in the closet once more is a big nightmare for them and Ted shot for the C4. Stomping

03:09:48.660 --> 03:09:54.720
all by himself with time out is not going to work. It looks like for G2 unless Stomping

03:09:54.720 --> 03:10:00.200
can pull up a bit of magic, which you always can. We know the talent this guy has since

03:10:00.200 --> 03:10:04.760
joined this side, moves into piano.

03:10:04.760 --> 03:10:09.160
Replayers to find, novel swing, no chance for that, fanatic.

03:10:09.160 --> 03:10:12.600
Given Stompin' no outs whatsoever.

03:10:12.600 --> 03:10:18.600
Fanatic, once more, just like Laird, they have matchpoint.

03:10:18.600 --> 03:10:20.960
That's kind of a main worry, though, isn't it, right?

03:10:20.960 --> 03:10:25.480
You look towards the history of the day,

03:10:25.480 --> 03:10:27.800
and you're like, oh, just like Laird, they had the matchpoint.

03:10:27.800 --> 03:10:31.600
Obviously, when these two went against each other before,

03:10:31.600 --> 03:10:34.520
fanatically cut themselves close,

03:10:34.520 --> 03:10:36.240
but they weren't the ones that held match point.

03:10:36.240 --> 03:10:39.520
It got into our teams, actually, them who clawed it back.

03:10:39.520 --> 03:10:40.520
No!

03:10:40.520 --> 03:10:41.520
Come on, boys!

03:10:41.520 --> 03:10:42.520
Come on, boys!

03:10:42.520 --> 03:10:43.520
Come on!

03:10:43.520 --> 03:10:45.760
Neither of these teams are unfamiliar.

03:10:45.760 --> 03:10:47.480
With the elongation of a game,

03:10:47.480 --> 03:10:49.880
they're happy to sort of tread the boards all the way.

03:10:49.880 --> 03:10:51.800
And you and I actually, we sort of commented on the time.

03:10:51.800 --> 03:10:54.920
We had one of the longest play days the other day.

03:10:54.920 --> 03:10:59.800
We got pretty much every single possible round in total.

03:10:59.800 --> 03:11:01.400
I think we got every regulation round

03:11:01.400 --> 03:11:05.480
possible across all of the games that we covered.

03:11:05.480 --> 03:11:07.440
It seems like that sort of cursed.

03:11:07.440 --> 03:11:09.480
Whatever monkeys for wish that you and I have

03:11:09.480 --> 03:11:12.040
to watch more seed, it's still going.

03:11:16.040 --> 03:11:19.200
So it's got really good effects on Monkey Paw.

03:11:19.200 --> 03:11:21.320
What was the benefit for life?

03:11:21.320 --> 03:11:23.200
Oh, my gosh.

03:11:23.200 --> 03:11:28.720
Are we gonna be the new team as well they had six months yesterday, so you do have to cut down a bit of slump

03:11:28.840 --> 03:11:30.920
They did have six minutes yesterday. That's true

03:11:31.920 --> 03:11:38.440
Well, they maybe have three and we'll maybe have three it really depends on G2. Yeah, this round G2

03:11:39.120 --> 03:11:44.160
The map that we all thought they should win G2 the map that you all thought they should win a present of you

03:11:44.680 --> 03:11:46.680
lead so and G2

03:11:47.200 --> 03:11:50.960
The team that went unbeaten until potential playoffs

03:11:53.200 --> 03:11:57.200
There's a chance of wrapping this up in two, and that would have been a minus way to start this DPEC.

03:11:57.200 --> 03:12:03.200
Batters bruised, bullied backwards, but most importantly, it's a fill in the round.

03:12:05.200 --> 03:12:09.200
Oh, and also not caught if they slipped away on past, even with the E1D.

03:12:09.200 --> 03:12:13.200
You realise, well, the walls are getting smaller, so we might as well try and escape.

03:12:15.200 --> 03:12:19.200
The floor is in everything, the flatch just rounds on towards the close corners position,

03:12:19.200 --> 03:12:23.760
position and trying to cover the Wamai. It's nice it's not quite able to stop any of this breaching

03:12:23.760 --> 03:12:27.440
happen they cut the way across now this was the site where they made it happen and land quite

03:12:27.440 --> 03:12:32.320
cleanly before it seems like fanatic. I've changed some of their defensive tactics here.

03:12:34.240 --> 03:12:38.640
It's working as the blind comes out. Smith gets the kill and I'm upstairs it definitely is working.

03:12:39.360 --> 03:12:44.080
Benchie does trade one on towards back now it's Deepak. Still alive, still trying to find a

03:12:44.080 --> 03:12:52.760
position as the fire doesn't quite get the full catch and you see what he what

03:12:52.760 --> 03:12:57.000
do you do slight issue I think for DPEC always has to pick up a phone now

03:12:57.000 --> 03:13:04.120
based on his HP so if he lets it go he'll die to the flames so that is a

03:13:04.120 --> 03:13:07.800
big advantage over the G2 it just depends if they get the call on him or not

03:13:07.800 --> 03:13:12.280
Boss G will slug Benjo with one round into his chest.

03:13:13.000 --> 03:13:16.640
He's still alive, they now know the position at the vigils in.

03:13:19.000 --> 03:13:22.040
So for G2, they want to go about things.

03:13:23.880 --> 03:13:24.920
They would just drag from the site,

03:13:24.920 --> 03:13:26.360
maybe looking the job in towards Westy,

03:13:26.360 --> 03:13:28.760
Peck goes down to Shai, could just swings and wins it.

03:13:29.360 --> 03:13:31.240
And it remaining G2 in the lead.

03:13:33.440 --> 03:13:36.760
But we've seen this turn on a dime many times.

03:13:36.760 --> 03:13:43.760
we've seen this struggle to get themselves pushed over the line and with 40 seconds

03:13:43.760 --> 03:13:46.760
still on the attack they're having to go recollect the kit.

03:13:48.760 --> 03:13:50.760
Oh, that's not how they want to do that.

03:13:52.760 --> 03:13:56.760
They could protect it but it's well watched and well sort of sought out.

03:13:59.760 --> 03:14:02.760
Beautiful removal of one. Shaco finishes the other.

03:14:02.760 --> 03:14:04.760
The three versus two versus two

03:14:05.880 --> 03:14:11.800
He rocks the crash release of their way on through now though 17 seconds and I'm gonna say they're scrambling

03:14:11.800 --> 03:14:15.080
They've gone to get the kit but remember where the site is they've got to watch this over two stories

03:14:15.080 --> 03:14:20.440
There's two one versus one step start in the west main position gets to down to the man with the kit in here

03:14:21.000 --> 03:14:23.000
We have fanatic

03:14:23.000 --> 03:14:27.560
bouncing clawing and biting back not done yet demo

03:14:28.440 --> 03:14:32.440
This series is going to be hard linked to all three maps

03:14:32.760 --> 03:14:41.260
Yeah, half way, up next for that, it's just about holding on G2 faltering on Chalet.

03:14:41.260 --> 03:14:43.260
Where do we go from here?

03:14:43.260 --> 03:14:44.760
To a break.

03:15:02.760 --> 03:15:04.760
I

03:16:02.760 --> 03:16:04.760
I

03:21:32.760 --> 03:21:54.140
and now it comes down to eventually a best of one to qualify a team to esports world cup.

03:21:54.140 --> 03:21:58.080
Both these teams winning out their opponents map pick I mean I'm impressed by Federer that

03:21:58.080 --> 03:21:59.080
was great stuff.

03:21:59.080 --> 03:22:03.880
Once again, Fnatic is proving me wrong, and I think that's becoming a pattern, and I will

03:22:03.880 --> 03:22:07.960
recognize it. I think I didn't believe in them when they switched to defense. The reason for this,

03:22:07.960 --> 03:22:12.520
they looked so frozen when they were back. G2 were dominating, they were getting aggressive,

03:22:12.520 --> 03:22:17.480
they were getting the picks. The basic things that, the fundamentals that Fnatic was doing right

03:22:17.480 --> 03:22:23.000
on there did not appear on the attack, and I was wondering, when they're going to switch to defense

03:22:23.000 --> 03:22:27.480
on a map that were you boxed in, where you're framed, where it's easy for you to get swung

03:22:27.480 --> 03:22:32.360
by many different angles, but that panic mode would be triggered instead of Fnatic, instead

03:22:32.360 --> 03:22:36.600
they were invigorated, Jack. I expected craziness going out of G2, and we saw it actually. We saw it

03:22:36.600 --> 03:22:41.960
in the very first round of the second half when they went for fun, and it was 5 vs 5,

03:22:41.960 --> 03:22:45.560
and it was supposed to be fun, and Fnatic regrouped, and then they managed to find a way to win.

03:22:45.560 --> 03:22:49.080
And I think from there it was a very, very spirited performance, it was defiant, they were

03:22:50.280 --> 03:22:54.120
resilient, they were just fine in a way to claw the rounds back. There was a couple of

03:22:54.120 --> 03:22:58.520
individual moments where you see an individual just pop up with a big kill and that shot ended up

03:22:58.520 --> 03:23:02.520
seeing out around with a big double kill as well and they just found a way to get it done and get

03:23:02.520 --> 03:23:07.640
it done they did. The most important thing you're noticing on this is a pattern how many 2v3 is

03:23:07.640 --> 03:23:13.480
about 3v3 yeah and 2v2 have Natic won in that game yeah how many so many rounds they win are very

03:23:13.480 --> 03:23:18.520
very close one or two gunfights one go one way and it's the complete opposite and G2 would be

03:23:18.520 --> 03:23:23.800
already qualified to EWC there is a thing that Natic has right now that he didn't have before

03:23:23.800 --> 03:23:27.840
you know, it's a really good

03:23:27.900 --> 03:23:28.440
project. Yeah, but you think

03:23:28.440 --> 03:23:29.240
to close the most critical

03:23:29.240 --> 03:23:29.840
rounds and that comes with

03:23:29.840 --> 03:23:30.700
experience. It comes with

03:23:30.700 --> 03:23:32.340
experience. It comes with

03:23:32.340 --> 03:23:32.940
having guys on the roster that

03:23:32.940 --> 03:23:33.580
have been there and done it.

03:23:33.580 --> 03:23:34.640
Look at the top three on the

03:23:34.640 --> 03:23:36.440
side of fanatic back. Deep

03:23:36.440 --> 03:23:37.540
back. Who's one of major

03:23:37.540 --> 03:23:38.440
that is in his play that I

03:23:38.440 --> 03:23:40.040
mean, the gazillion events

03:23:40.040 --> 03:23:41.080
that's you know, being across

03:23:41.080 --> 03:23:41.920
the world played in North

03:23:41.920 --> 03:23:43.520
America. A dead shot who was

03:23:43.520 --> 03:23:45.520
part of that wolves roster that

03:23:45.520 --> 03:23:47.120
went to a lot of events in from

03:23:47.120 --> 03:23:48.520
me and now as well. Those guys

03:23:48.520 --> 03:23:49.520
when they're in the big

03:23:49.520 --> 03:23:50.520
moments, that's what you need.

03:23:50.520 --> 03:23:51.720
You need cool calm voices and

03:23:51.720 --> 03:23:52.920
collected heads to make those

03:23:52.920 --> 03:23:59.760
now that best of one that we essentially go to is not just any map it is cafe it is a map that these two played on against each

03:23:59.760 --> 03:24:04.880
Other during group stage and because both these teams having the same round differential

03:24:04.880 --> 03:24:09.440
It had to come down to a coin toss of who starts what side and G2. Yeah

03:24:09.640 --> 03:24:12.720
So we've got a nice new rule basically in play this year

03:24:12.720 --> 03:24:17.480
Which is that previously it would have been just a coin toss for who chooses the start side in the best of free in the

03:24:17.480 --> 03:24:21.840
Decider now it's based on round difference. We're where the teams are tied as is you two and finacic

03:24:21.840 --> 03:24:24.240
They both won their opponent's map picked by a round differential of two.

03:24:24.640 --> 03:24:25.740
It goes to a coin flip.

03:24:25.940 --> 03:24:28.840
And as a result of that coin flip, G2 will be starting on the attack.

03:24:28.840 --> 03:24:30.840
Now, if you're at home and you've been playing ranked,

03:24:30.840 --> 03:24:34.040
even thinking, oh, cafe is so defender-sided, it's absolutely crazy.

03:24:34.040 --> 03:24:36.040
G2 have got a disadvantage? No, they don't.

03:24:36.340 --> 03:24:39.240
Because when these two teams played inside of the regular stage,

03:24:39.440 --> 03:24:41.940
they played at the cafe and they went to overtime.

03:24:41.940 --> 03:24:43.240
They went all 15 rounds.

03:24:43.440 --> 03:24:45.740
And actually, it was reasonably attack-favorite.

03:24:45.740 --> 03:24:48.140
Both teams got a free-free attack half in regulation.

03:24:48.340 --> 03:24:51.740
And then every round in overtime was won by the attacking team.

03:24:51.840 --> 03:24:57.360
Well, all the G2 fans are so happy to hear that, but let's also make it a realistic pulling ride

03:24:57.360 --> 03:25:01.200
with the event qualification on the line. There is so much pressure on G2.

03:25:01.200 --> 03:25:07.840
I mean, just picture this world with me. This world where G2, who have Roku to Benja, Roku to Chayko,

03:25:08.560 --> 03:25:12.880
they've had a great full-leg city major, they've dominated the entire stage,

03:25:13.440 --> 03:25:18.880
and then they've pulled to Falcons, pulled to Fnatic and missed CWC. Fnatic goes to EWC instead

03:25:18.880 --> 03:25:21.880
Just think of that story.

03:25:21.880 --> 03:25:23.880
Shaiko misses the WC.

03:25:23.880 --> 03:25:25.880
The one guy that won that event,

03:25:25.880 --> 03:25:27.880
even though it was Gamerz8,

03:25:27.880 --> 03:25:28.880
three times in a row,

03:25:28.880 --> 03:25:29.880
they've got two LVPs there.

03:25:29.880 --> 03:25:33.880
Imagine Alimao, Doki, Benja, Stompen,

03:25:33.880 --> 03:25:34.880
such a strong lineup,

03:25:34.880 --> 03:25:36.880
the lineup that went to the Grand Final of the WC

03:25:36.880 --> 03:25:38.880
after missing it.

03:25:38.880 --> 03:25:40.880
If you'd have said that to me 30 hours ago,

03:25:40.880 --> 03:25:43.880
I would have come out with one word, impossible.

03:25:43.880 --> 03:25:45.880
And right now it's very possible.

03:25:45.880 --> 03:25:47.880
If you look at the performance from Natic,

03:25:47.880 --> 03:25:51.640
If you look at the momentum they have, they are the ones that win the most critical rounds.

03:25:51.640 --> 03:25:54.680
These 2v2s, these 3v3s, it goes their way right now.

03:25:54.680 --> 03:25:58.280
And there is one very big difference maker between the two of them.

03:25:58.280 --> 03:26:03.400
Fnatic, no one expected them not only to make a WC, but not only to make playoffs.

03:26:03.400 --> 03:26:05.400
Everything here is bonus.

03:26:05.400 --> 03:26:08.120
And on the other side of G2, everything here is pressure.

03:26:08.120 --> 03:26:11.720
And that would be the exact team talk that I would guess Tristan's going to go with.

03:26:11.720 --> 03:26:13.240
Boys, there's pressure on them.

03:26:13.240 --> 03:26:16.520
They're going to make mistakes when you sense what, when you feel that,

03:26:16.520 --> 03:26:20.500
that when they make a mistake, you push down on them and you press on it. There's no pressure

03:26:20.500 --> 03:26:24.260
on fanatic and that's exactly what I'd be saying to my players if I was coaching them.

03:26:24.260 --> 03:26:28.860
And then looking into this, I mean, we see that reflecting as well. Pressure on the faces

03:26:28.860 --> 03:26:33.460
of these players. Rustamka was smiling like crazy. The happiest I've ever seen in a matchup

03:26:33.460 --> 03:26:37.340
earlier today. It just seems like straight faces for them for now.

03:26:37.340 --> 03:26:40.620
And it's exactly the same as yesterday. It's exactly the same as yesterday. Up against

03:26:40.620 --> 03:26:45.140
Falcons, they were laughing, they were joking, they wouldn't have won. The weight of the

03:26:45.140 --> 03:26:50.020
Wilders on leaky-fucked shoulders. As soon as map 2 ended, it completely fit and it fell to G2.

03:26:50.020 --> 03:26:55.940
G2, you were here yesterday as well, so close to qualification, but you failed to do so. Fnatic

03:26:55.940 --> 03:27:00.660
have no pressure on server, they made it further than they expected to do, so just the best map

03:27:00.660 --> 03:27:04.740
that determines who makes it to EWC. Is it Fnatic or is it G2 Esports?

03:27:07.140 --> 03:27:14.740
Well, well, well. Once upon a time, 8% of you changed your tune. Fear, they called it. They

03:27:14.740 --> 03:27:19.800
Smelled it on the air and you smelled it and something needn't think that it could do it now

03:27:20.060 --> 03:27:23.300
Look at where you have fallen. Look at where you have gone

03:27:24.060 --> 03:27:26.460
Look at where we are G2

03:27:27.340 --> 03:27:31.580
60% still the preference still the lion share but fanatic proven

03:27:32.500 --> 03:27:34.500
their dog has bite

03:27:36.860 --> 03:27:38.580
Here we go

03:27:38.580 --> 03:27:41.140
This is it for all the marbles

03:27:41.140 --> 03:27:52.140
I think it's a good map for both

03:27:52.140 --> 03:27:54.140
sides, which I think is the more

03:27:54.140 --> 03:27:57.140
interesting thing. Typically.

03:27:57.140 --> 03:27:59.140
Whenever you kind of have a side

03:27:59.140 --> 03:28:01.140
which like G2 good on a lot of

03:28:01.140 --> 03:28:03.140
different maps for his fanatic,

03:28:03.140 --> 03:28:08.500
you kind of have a side which like G2 good on a lot of different maps whereas fanatic

03:28:08.500 --> 03:28:13.100
maybe not as strong as a map pull compared to G2 and whenever we kind of have these

03:28:13.100 --> 03:28:19.020
matchups in the best of three, sometimes the final map could also lean in favour of the

03:28:19.020 --> 03:28:23.740
bigger side, the side with more experience in the different maps, but I think in this

03:28:23.740 --> 03:28:28.780
circumstance for fanatic they've always had a good history in this map, not just recent

03:28:28.780 --> 03:28:37.980
time, but I think historically it's been a map which suited them. I think it's, in terms

03:28:37.980 --> 03:28:44.700
of how this map suits people, I think the sort of drive of an IGL is the main thing.

03:28:44.700 --> 03:28:50.820
I think it's such an important IGL for Cafe and I think that's something where it's sort

03:28:50.820 --> 03:29:03.540
of like, if an IGL enjoys cafe, if an IGL enjoys controlling cafe, the team tends to have a

03:29:03.540 --> 03:29:06.100
good time in cafe, right? Do you think that's fair?

03:29:06.100 --> 03:29:12.900
Um, yeah, I think that's a good, I mean, it's obviously very different compared to like

03:29:12.900 --> 03:29:19.140
Claire, and even, I think it does have similarities to Shall I, but it is a map where you have

03:29:19.140 --> 03:29:23.780
to try and go through a lot of stuff in terms of window gameplay, which I think can be...

03:29:23.780 --> 03:29:27.140
I think sometimes you get sad, I think it's windows, I think there's not a lot of gameplay

03:29:27.140 --> 03:29:29.940
you can really do against it, and especially if you're never like...

03:29:29.940 --> 03:29:33.060
Nomads can be brought and it's just not that much you can really play around.

03:29:39.300 --> 03:29:43.860
Stumping is almost immediately removed, and a C4 of Wizard is eyeing up by their option.

03:29:43.860 --> 03:29:48.580
In fact, it's two C4s gone, says Citizen, but he has to pocket his and

03:29:48.580 --> 03:29:54.100
slips slightly further away. The flash has come out, the C4 rips over and nothing is quite caught

03:29:54.100 --> 03:29:59.460
instead. They've sort of baited evenly. Of course, Shaco gets one, Deepak gets Shaco,

03:29:59.460 --> 03:30:03.860
and Halimau gets Deepak. Things level up, things are balanced in some ways. If you're a G2 fan,

03:30:03.860 --> 03:30:10.020
then they keep that finger on the scales and the favor in towards their hand itself.

03:30:10.660 --> 03:30:14.820
And they've got themselves those two opening picks in this manner. They've lost the flores

03:30:14.820 --> 03:30:22.780
in that exchange. Where can they start to build from? If you sort of look towards the

03:30:22.780 --> 03:30:28.020
history of this map, it was obviously fanatic opening on their defense last time as well,

03:30:28.020 --> 03:30:32.420
but even halves across the entire game. So it's not really a preference that's pointed

03:30:32.420 --> 03:30:35.380
out on the dust itself. Instead, you're just kind of looking towards the players that are

03:30:35.380 --> 03:30:39.140
a bit quieter and seeing if they can get a bit noisy.

03:30:39.140 --> 03:30:50.280
Don't give it a good go. G2 might have control with that extra man advantage and maybe look

03:30:50.280 --> 03:30:55.240
at that little retake in through red stairs. The wizard's high enough right now and if

03:30:55.240 --> 03:31:02.320
you just get really good timing, good catch a G2 player. I'm suspecting but oh never mind

03:31:02.320 --> 03:31:07.780
doki, it's just about me that almost loses life but set those scaring wards off and even

03:31:07.780 --> 03:31:12.500
Then finds that his wizard was thinking the same thing, that Doki was holding the angle

03:31:12.500 --> 03:31:13.500
sooner.

03:31:13.500 --> 03:31:17.740
Now that leaves an attic in a sticky situation.

03:31:17.740 --> 03:31:21.420
The 2v4, 40 seconds remaining, G2.

03:31:21.420 --> 03:31:26.260
All the time in the world to make this happen, positions will be spotted out exactly through

03:31:26.260 --> 03:31:30.940
the rafter and what they're trying to find, and that's a dead valkyrie, a citizen, the

03:31:30.940 --> 03:31:33.380
same position as his teammate, inside pillar.

03:31:33.380 --> 03:31:39.380
That's a try and hold out as we're firing the pillar door and just swings seamlessly into it.

03:31:39.380 --> 03:31:43.380
I mean, information should have been there for the side enough to just drop on them.

03:31:43.380 --> 03:31:46.380
They're falling from the skies.

03:31:49.380 --> 03:31:51.380
That's a strong start for GT.

03:31:51.380 --> 03:31:54.380
It's not the first time that we've sort of had that mentality though.

03:31:54.380 --> 03:31:59.380
Obviously, we think about the previous map and they absolutely run the gauntlet and the boards on Chalet

03:31:59.380 --> 03:32:05.060
on towards their attack and then things fell across in the second half but there

03:32:05.060 --> 03:32:11.220
strong start strong opener strong I think clarity right it's the weird thing

03:32:11.220 --> 03:32:14.820
about fanatic across the three maps first map obviously they started on their

03:32:14.820 --> 03:32:20.220
attack it's a different style of pace but it was so driven so intense second map

03:32:20.220 --> 03:32:24.340
they started a bit slower they sort of remembered who they were and then obviously

03:32:24.340 --> 03:32:26.980
drove it all the way to the end they've built up in momentum it feels like they

03:32:26.980 --> 03:32:31.940
the way to first pass and maybe it's just not their defender day right maybe it's

03:32:31.940 --> 03:32:37.500
just the MO is what they've built that's their preparation for dealing with this

03:32:37.500 --> 03:32:42.380
G2 is on their attack on their sort of pressure that they can apply against them

03:32:42.380 --> 03:32:46.460
and this is obviously gonna be that good sort of threat as I said before it was an

03:32:46.460 --> 03:32:51.580
even game last time between the two teams but there was quite a lot of

03:32:51.580 --> 03:32:56.380
multi-k clutches that came out in it you know you had two rounds that were

03:32:56.380 --> 03:33:01.060
clutched by fanatic players across the series itself in regulation alone and

03:33:01.060 --> 03:33:05.020
that would have been enough if those had gone away from them to get G2 into

03:33:05.020 --> 03:33:11.760
regulation but DPEC, Doki, Benja, Deadshot, Citizen Wizard all of them have not

03:33:11.760 --> 03:33:17.820
killed in the previous showdown you kind of want that energy here right?

03:33:19.660 --> 03:33:24.940
Deadshot, hang up the C4, trying to find a fillback as Vincent's gone

03:33:24.940 --> 03:33:30.940
instantly and once again we talked about G2 and I'll play him with that extra

03:33:30.940 --> 03:33:35.680
man they got it I think whenever you kind of look at the kitchen bomb site as

03:33:35.680 --> 03:33:38.660
well this is where you can really put the work on it look at that from Ben

03:33:38.660 --> 03:33:44.500
Jeff headshot point you had a death to rights the hard force the Ritz's head off

03:33:44.500 --> 03:33:49.460
and things go from bad to worse mention that deadshot was hoping to get a kill

03:33:49.460 --> 03:34:02.420
back and now his team need to find two kills back see they're just trying to

03:34:02.420 --> 03:34:06.420
capitalize upon the space G2 as soon as they get an opening as soon as they get

03:34:06.420 --> 03:34:11.180
an ammo they sort of just tense a little bit that they bring things a bit

03:34:11.180 --> 03:34:14.500
closer they don't go all the way in they don't entirely throw themselves out

03:34:14.500 --> 03:34:17.180
they still work to do they always in a weird way play it as if it's still a

03:34:17.180 --> 03:34:22.380
five versus five. They make sure that every step is still measured. They don't get a bit too

03:34:22.380 --> 03:34:32.140
blind with it and oh no! Smith is ready for that, shield on the back, swings on and takes care of

03:34:32.140 --> 03:34:38.300
Ben because he was sort of hunting for the one versus one but fortunately he went out of the

03:34:38.300 --> 03:34:43.420
engagement now with the three remaining fanatic players all driven in towards the site but with

03:34:43.420 --> 03:34:48.220
no pressure otherwise coming from the bakery and the wedding site. It's gonna have to be

03:34:48.220 --> 03:34:52.620
a bit of a sort of drift down and I'm gonna say it's a little bit one-sided towards the push but

03:34:52.620 --> 03:34:56.460
for now it can have their backs to a side and that makes life a lot easier.

03:35:01.660 --> 03:35:08.220
Is that remaining? E2. Set up all these crossfires, great position, it's Shai Kuzen,

03:35:08.220 --> 03:35:15.100
can cut the cross and towards the kitchen bomb site really for a cheat too start

03:35:15.100 --> 03:35:18.540
trying to work that plant rock-free smokes and Doki gives himself away

03:35:18.540 --> 03:35:23.500
challenges onto the shield for whatever reason I don't know

03:35:23.500 --> 03:35:26.060
bumping ready to go

03:35:26.060 --> 03:35:30.780
what has happened G2 have just capitulated it's so weird right they're in the

03:35:30.780 --> 03:35:33.860
five-dice history and I was saying that well they play this spot they play this

03:35:33.860 --> 03:35:37.600
and then just one at a time what lost people somehow

03:35:38.600 --> 03:35:40.940
Shields are the sort of go-to right now

03:35:43.860 --> 03:35:47.220
Flip their way away they're preparing for the two versus two, but

03:35:47.660 --> 03:35:50.580
Let's they go for the coverage of the smoke they're gonna see if they can try and plant on it

03:35:50.580 --> 03:35:52.980
It's a cross that they have to make and there's the cross and deep egg

03:35:53.540 --> 03:35:56.660
predicted the position they're looking for where the player is inside the plant

03:35:56.660 --> 03:36:00.260
He's got a shield and he's got out of there. They're just gonna charge in something gets one

03:36:00.260 --> 03:36:05.660
It's the shotgun versus the shield and the blitzkull quick at his feet out from under him

03:36:07.180 --> 03:36:11.700
Talks about the MVPs of the team the people that have won and held trophies and

03:36:12.540 --> 03:36:15.140
There's a man taking a deep breath who's held one before

03:36:16.620 --> 03:36:22.380
Stompin was in the radius of a mute jammer so he could not flash his shield

03:36:23.740 --> 03:36:27.900
That is how deep X1 mapped because he can't use the gadget

03:36:27.900 --> 03:36:34.500
He can't flash him. In the 1v1 you're always going to fancy the Blitz, but not whenever

03:36:34.500 --> 03:36:43.460
he can't use his gadget. Oh that is a heartbreaker for Stumpin. I mean for G2. And the free versus

03:36:43.460 --> 03:36:49.180
five. How'd they lose that? I mean I think this was the silly peek from Doki, wasn't it?

03:36:49.180 --> 03:36:54.300
No need for that at all. Stumpin had a right to go, but you'll see that's the mutual right

03:36:54.300 --> 03:36:56.300
They're in the corner!

03:36:59.260 --> 03:37:01.260
Nice!

03:37:09.260 --> 03:37:11.260
A bit too close

03:37:16.300 --> 03:37:18.300
I think it's uh

03:37:18.540 --> 03:37:23.660
A one versus one against a blitz with a shotgun and the blitz is trying to escape. I mean

03:37:24.300 --> 03:37:26.600
It had to sort of win that engagement right when they did.

03:37:26.600 --> 03:37:30.300
Yeah, if they go out of the range of the new channel then the blitz game will power.

03:37:30.300 --> 03:37:33.600
Take the shield brook as well, it's a bit of a nightmare.

03:37:33.600 --> 03:37:37.300
Especially get shotguns, because that shield break happens instantly.

03:37:37.300 --> 03:37:41.900
You know, it's different if you're getting shot at, makes a few bullets before you can no longer run with the shield.

03:37:41.900 --> 03:37:45.400
But a shotgun, a one-pump, all those pellets hit you instantly, can't move.

03:37:45.400 --> 03:37:55.160
I was going to make a joke though, but then I remembered you were like Shields number one

03:37:55.160 --> 03:37:56.160
defender.

03:37:56.160 --> 03:37:57.160
Why was the...

03:37:57.160 --> 03:37:58.160
What's the joke called?

03:37:58.160 --> 03:38:05.160
I'm still not thinking of it to be honest.

03:38:05.160 --> 03:38:07.040
Glad you're a stud.

03:38:07.040 --> 03:38:11.160
Everything that you were saying there, talking about how, you know, Shields have a bit hard.

03:38:11.160 --> 03:38:13.800
I'm picturing you still holding onto a blitz shield and...

03:38:15.920 --> 03:38:16.660
Crutching.

03:38:16.660 --> 03:38:17.160
Uh...

03:38:17.160 --> 03:38:18.160
They all have it hard.

03:38:18.160 --> 03:38:20.320
I'm not gonna entertain that at all.

03:38:20.320 --> 03:38:23.800
Like, with Ella and Florin being as rampant as what they are,

03:38:23.800 --> 03:38:25.800
you don't have how horrendous it is to do anything.

03:38:26.360 --> 03:38:27.960
Oh, like really? A castle?

03:38:28.200 --> 03:38:29.960
A little pocket place at the window.

03:38:29.960 --> 03:38:33.400
Uh, yeah. Just missing it to sh-shank, but look how close that was.

03:38:33.400 --> 03:38:35.080
I mean, we've all been there.

03:38:35.080 --> 03:38:37.400
I think everyone's experienced with an A-dozen,

03:38:37.400 --> 03:38:39.920
blow up the castle bar, kid, when you think that should've.

03:38:39.920 --> 03:38:43.360
And the issue for Alamow, that's always needs to go on

03:38:44.080 --> 03:38:48.480
So he maybe needs to try and ask for someone else to rotate over

03:38:48.800 --> 03:38:54.080
Maybe just try and play around it use it for the bandage when it's closed off nobody can really stop and swing it in I guess

03:38:54.800 --> 03:38:56.800
He's just gonna go around it. Yeah

03:38:57.120 --> 03:38:59.120
Yeah, I'm gonna go around it for a second

03:39:00.160 --> 03:39:01.600
charged up by

03:39:01.600 --> 03:39:03.920
Big mad doesn't get caught up by Smith again

03:39:03.920 --> 03:39:08.920
He's doing a bit of work on the clash but not really with the shield. I'm wondering if this is gonna be the fan at the half time

03:39:08.920 --> 03:39:15.080
There's a good shield player for the team on attack and defence.

03:39:15.080 --> 03:39:16.840
Now leaves the 3 vs 2.

03:39:16.840 --> 03:39:18.340
They're holding on towards the verticality.

03:39:18.340 --> 03:39:21.440
Are they going to see if they want to stick double team up?

03:39:21.440 --> 03:39:25.720
You can see that they're sort of trying to make the transition past the stairs.

03:39:25.720 --> 03:39:27.600
It's dangerous to sort of clear up.

03:39:27.600 --> 03:39:30.880
The air gap will force the player out and there's the wrap up.

03:39:30.880 --> 03:39:34.800
I wasn't quite sure where they were coming from and we just desperately tried to offer

03:39:34.800 --> 03:39:38.800
some support but unfortunately, well, that's fine the trade but at that point.

03:40:08.800 --> 03:40:13.560
get myself in and then he does that nice little trick where you can sprint from the

03:40:13.560 --> 03:40:18.480
heaven of a balcony in towards a bar and then straight in through the route and you know

03:40:18.480 --> 03:40:27.280
a beautiful double kill and from there the rest of G2 were able to win out their engagements.

03:40:27.280 --> 03:40:30.280
you that we're looking for in G2? Do one up.

03:40:30.280 --> 03:40:42.040
I think from this point onwards obviously we're kind of getting the game that we want.

03:40:42.040 --> 03:40:47.680
We're getting those traded rounds, we're getting those sort of close scenarios.

03:40:47.680 --> 03:40:52.080
There's still that balance. I guess it's just like the unfortunate balance of Fnatic

03:40:52.080 --> 03:40:55.880
on defense, they can't quite find a way for all five of them to get their teeth in.

03:40:55.880 --> 03:41:00.880
They'll have a couple of players pop off and unfortunately the others are sort of either push the side in their engagements

03:41:01.880 --> 03:41:03.880
or they are not needed to.

03:41:03.880 --> 03:41:08.880
And you much prefer the last one in your team, you much prefer sort of being able to sit and watch players pop off.

03:41:09.880 --> 03:41:10.880
But otherwise...

03:41:13.880 --> 03:41:16.880
That's where they'll start to go here. You want to see...

03:41:16.880 --> 03:41:20.880
Obviously Citizen who is the tour de force for the team last time around.

03:41:21.880 --> 03:41:23.880
Get built on, you too.

03:41:23.880 --> 03:41:33.100
to when they're on to the sort of success level of the previous map when they've seen the

03:41:33.100 --> 03:41:37.740
attacks of the defense, how things have threaded out, when they've found so many successes

03:41:37.740 --> 03:41:41.800
and still the map fell apart from them, there's kind of not really a point when you say they've

03:41:41.800 --> 03:41:47.780
done enough because until the map is done they've secured themselves, that journey, that

03:41:47.780 --> 03:41:52.380
international tournament performance, well then they haven't done enough.

03:41:52.380 --> 03:41:57.660
to protect the door itself, keep the castle, keep the stretch, obviously they remove the

03:41:57.660 --> 03:42:02.220
grim in the mirror, it's been limited some of the hold that Spence is free-running rain to go

03:42:02.220 --> 03:42:09.260
underneath with the pulse and g2, they're just never in need of running up to calculate

03:42:10.460 --> 03:42:15.980
range, maybe get caught from underneath, was that somebody who was toying with the idea of a fight?

03:42:15.980 --> 03:42:17.980
I didn't quite take it.

03:42:24.420 --> 03:42:30.700
Oh, quiet at the moment. Nobody put for those open engagements. I mean, this is a classic position.

03:42:30.700 --> 03:42:33.900
One thing you'll see about Fnatic in their path is they love a balsam.

03:42:33.900 --> 03:42:36.260
Well, that's why. Really good information.

03:42:36.260 --> 03:42:40.060
Smith can see that Doki's attempt in the rappel and put some down.

03:42:40.060 --> 03:42:42.460
Benjy, though. In able to find Wizard.

03:42:42.460 --> 03:42:46.620
This whole square, 4v4, and white stairs control is firmly.

03:42:47.220 --> 03:42:50.820
Now with G2's grasp, but it's the top floor that they're after, in Dwarf Plikes, it isn't.

03:42:51.460 --> 03:42:56.580
It's a freebie, Crossfire with Deadshot, who actually loses that one out against Benji, we're not expecting the double-up.

03:42:57.580 --> 03:43:01.580
Flashbang to try and get Benji a bit of a breathing room, and maybe they're gonna ignore the players upstairs,

03:43:01.580 --> 03:43:05.220
they're gonna try and go for the horizontal take that's working for the 2v2 now.

03:43:05.220 --> 03:43:07.020
Alabao and Benji have it all to do.

03:43:07.020 --> 03:43:11.860
So he's been able to find his first, he's fishing for the second, it's these sort of

03:43:11.860 --> 03:43:15.140
private engagements, but DPEC you can see is trying to offer some support, they've almost

03:43:15.140 --> 03:43:19.580
got themselves the, you're watching him, I'm watching him and both teams are trying to

03:43:19.580 --> 03:43:24.420
just formulate a two versus one engagement in the mix of it, but the problem is G2 is

03:43:24.420 --> 03:43:28.540
sort of in looking out, right, the balance of things is flipped and it allows DPEC the

03:43:28.540 --> 03:43:33.260
width to go for players like that, how aware is the rotate, oh not enough, Benjo picks

03:43:33.260 --> 03:43:38.080
up his third and you can see now he's made to move to the back home, but he's aware of

03:43:38.080 --> 03:43:43.040
citizens repositioning but he can't quite get the kill itself so instead he's gonna

03:43:43.040 --> 03:43:47.600
pre-fire he knows there's a short journey that they have to travel but Benji!

03:43:47.600 --> 03:43:51.360
Wow well trod

03:43:51.360 --> 03:43:58.420
I can't wait to hear the end game comes with that one.

03:43:58.420 --> 03:44:00.620
My words.

03:44:00.620 --> 03:44:03.220
G2.

03:44:03.220 --> 03:44:06.800
Being able to make it work, that man there, it's the reason why they brought him in.

03:44:06.800 --> 03:44:09.820
After such a long time away from the side.

03:44:09.820 --> 03:44:16.100
And that has really got the blood pumping, maybe, I mean, if it didn't already, hopefully

03:44:16.100 --> 03:44:18.100
out as for for banjo

03:44:34.100 --> 03:44:39.700
another heatwave opponents that's actually inbound this week but I'm

03:44:39.700 --> 03:44:40.700
I'm dreading it.

03:44:40.700 --> 03:44:41.700
It is.

03:44:41.700 --> 03:44:42.700
There is another...

03:44:42.700 --> 03:44:43.700
Are we casting?

03:44:43.700 --> 03:44:44.700
Through it?

03:44:44.700 --> 03:44:45.700
Uh...

03:44:45.700 --> 03:44:46.700
Monday.

03:44:46.700 --> 03:44:47.700
Damn it.

03:44:47.700 --> 03:44:49.700
I mean, yeah, I'm really happy for work.

03:44:49.700 --> 03:44:50.700
Damn it.

03:44:50.700 --> 03:44:51.700
We're killing this!

03:44:51.700 --> 03:44:53.700
Hey, you never know.

03:44:53.700 --> 03:44:55.700
But seriously, is this bangable?

03:44:55.700 --> 03:44:57.700
Maybe they'll keep on going at this point.

03:44:57.700 --> 03:45:03.700
I mean, almost 2 vs 2, but say that last skill goes into the favour.

03:45:03.700 --> 03:45:08.700
You've got Citizen that's got herself on a 2-3 from the split of it, but you're still...

03:45:08.700 --> 03:45:10.700
sort of pining for the team.

03:45:10.700 --> 03:45:12.700
Shaco's confused.

03:45:17.700 --> 03:45:19.700
Must have been the winner.

03:45:24.700 --> 03:45:26.700
A lot of intel.

03:45:26.700 --> 03:45:29.700
Echo, Valkyrie, getting themselves a lot of the cast and the enemies coming towards them.

03:45:29.700 --> 03:45:34.700
Well, remember last time we were here, I said that as soon as they lost Bangor and that five versus three,

03:45:34.700 --> 03:45:37.700
they had nobody on this side that was applying pressure.

03:45:37.700 --> 03:45:40.580
It seems like they want to not have that happen again.

03:45:40.580 --> 03:45:42.460
A big bit of pressure is being applied here.

03:45:42.460 --> 03:45:44.460
They want to go for the break on sorts of positions.

03:45:44.460 --> 03:45:46.380
The smoke coverage on the single wall

03:45:46.380 --> 03:45:49.820
doesn't get followed up with an immediate hard breach show, actually.

03:45:49.820 --> 03:45:53.300
Yes, it probably did, because Stockin really has nothing left in his pocket.

03:45:53.300 --> 03:45:56.620
And Smith hasn't been forced out of this position.

03:45:56.620 --> 03:45:58.900
And he's going to fall back. That wall is going to fall.

03:45:58.900 --> 03:46:03.060
It's a minute and a lot of utility death cases were getting that open.

03:46:03.060 --> 03:46:05.740
Now he's done this. Where's the next approach?

03:46:05.740 --> 03:46:09.340
They'll lose this bit of utility, but then all the sustain's gathering.

03:46:09.340 --> 03:46:12.940
Oh, the impact's not quite sharp enough.

03:46:12.940 --> 03:46:15.340
Unlucky, misses the impact trick.

03:46:15.340 --> 03:46:21.340
G2, playing this by the book in terms of the bakery directs.

03:46:21.340 --> 03:46:26.140
Got the Capitao, the two flame bolts.

03:46:26.140 --> 03:46:29.740
G2, it's the droning phase.

03:46:29.740 --> 03:46:32.540
Those sort of benches are upstairs on his own.

03:46:32.540 --> 03:46:36.820
We can see if he can be find a gap, find that opportunity.

03:46:39.420 --> 03:46:42.300
Two players upstairs, three players upstairs actually.

03:46:42.300 --> 03:46:45.380
That's what Benji has to try and deal with and put pressure on Fananak or

03:46:45.380 --> 03:46:48.180
happy to give up sight if they know they have the vertical holes.

03:46:48.780 --> 03:46:52.300
This is what G2 have to play around. How do they deal with these players upstairs?

03:46:52.300 --> 03:46:53.380
Ready to push them out.

03:46:57.700 --> 03:47:01.660
Got their eyes in towards the site itself and the eyes are rolling out towards Ben.

03:47:01.660 --> 03:47:04.980
because Echo's on the back being king on Cam,

03:47:04.980 --> 03:47:06.700
and oh, he knew he was coming in,

03:47:06.700 --> 03:47:08.380
but Citizen was there for support.

03:47:08.380 --> 03:47:11.060
Alomar sort of got baited in towards the engagement there.

03:47:11.060 --> 03:47:13.620
Maybe hoped they weren't as aware as they were.

03:47:13.620 --> 03:47:14.620
Avenger, in the meantime,

03:47:14.620 --> 03:47:16.020
is falling down a set of red stairs.

03:47:16.020 --> 03:47:17.700
They're gonna try and capture the van in the middle,

03:47:17.700 --> 03:47:19.580
but, well, no.

03:47:19.580 --> 03:47:20.900
Oh, he was!

03:47:22.340 --> 03:47:23.900
For a second, I thought he was looking the other way,

03:47:23.900 --> 03:47:25.900
but he gets one and two deep back!

03:47:27.340 --> 03:47:29.460
Oh, they get three, buddy.

03:47:29.460 --> 03:47:31.460
Maybe make it around as well.

03:47:33.820 --> 03:47:36.020
What a time for the IDL to show up.

03:47:36.020 --> 03:47:37.620
I said it's a good map for them.

03:47:39.060 --> 03:47:41.260
And the sort of point proven here, there's the cross,

03:47:41.260 --> 03:47:42.900
there's the flawless.

03:47:43.860 --> 03:47:45.260
Wow.

03:47:45.260 --> 03:47:47.620
Did not expect that to be a flawless way

03:47:47.620 --> 03:47:49.060
that G2 were setting up.

03:47:50.180 --> 03:47:51.180
Obviously for G2,

03:47:52.300 --> 03:47:54.660
they knew what Matic were going for.

03:47:55.460 --> 03:47:56.940
Heavy in towards that mid-floor.

03:47:56.940 --> 03:47:59.100
You play Benja by himself.

03:47:59.100 --> 03:48:06.520
He can make something happen, he can surprise them, and everyone else just slowly start making their way in towards that bomb site.

03:48:06.520 --> 03:48:14.760
So whenever Benjy goes, whenever he starts picking up those kills in the mid-floor, nobody's going to be in those verts, and they have full Psychodrault in a matter of seconds.

03:48:14.760 --> 03:48:20.100
Now, is there an argument that Alamov should have killed the Echo? Probably.

03:48:20.100 --> 03:48:25.620
But, he was not expecting somebody to be in Freezer, he was not expecting the double up.

03:48:26.340 --> 03:48:30.900
And that was kind of a kicker there for Alamo, he got baited in as you mentioned.

03:48:32.260 --> 03:48:35.220
Really for Benji, should have had Deepak dead for rights, but I mean,

03:48:35.220 --> 03:48:39.220
Dead should have just had a life shot on him. Deepak had a life shot on, should I say, sorry.

03:48:39.860 --> 03:48:43.460
Deepak had a life shot to make him dead.

03:48:43.460 --> 03:48:50.180
and multiple others and multiple others I mean the fact that he then got that kill

03:48:50.180 --> 03:48:53.220
they expect him to go down the stairs right in the armpits then he picked up

03:48:53.220 --> 03:48:58.220
the second as well it's just and then push down the stairs to get to reach the shot

03:48:58.220 --> 03:49:02.820
beautiful beautiful pause

03:49:04.300 --> 03:49:08.860
at this point it's an attic not quite done yet remember last time we were here

03:49:08.860 --> 03:49:13.140
it was even half since well it's always the possibility we end up in the same way

03:49:13.140 --> 03:49:15.140
obviously that is the site that has been

03:49:15.140 --> 03:49:18.140
super key

03:49:18.140 --> 03:49:20.140
now we get that change on the fly

03:49:20.140 --> 03:49:23.140
deep and he lost an nominal map

03:49:23.140 --> 03:49:26.140
he is having so far

03:49:26.140 --> 03:49:29.140
wasn't the sort of biggest song singer

03:49:29.140 --> 03:49:31.140
for the roster in fact he was

03:49:31.140 --> 03:49:34.140
of all ten players in this lobby

03:49:34.140 --> 03:49:36.140
the second lowest rate he's coming into

03:49:36.140 --> 03:49:38.140
is the playday today from the league itself

03:49:38.140 --> 03:49:40.140
obviously he plays a lot of the sort of support roles

03:49:40.140 --> 03:49:47.140
You know, he's not exactly on the Benja role, or the sort of drive that, with Hal Alamow's

03:49:47.140 --> 03:49:48.700
fate of a season has changed.

03:49:48.700 --> 03:49:53.020
There's always the possibility that one of those older voices, the IGL voices, can be

03:49:53.020 --> 03:49:59.100
someone of acclaim here, instead of the big-eyed citizen that was always eyes-on.

03:49:59.100 --> 03:50:07.140
There's quite the big estate today, yeah.

03:50:07.140 --> 03:50:09.140
There's always possible, there's always the

03:50:09.140 --> 03:50:12.140
interpretation, he can come to life.

03:50:12.140 --> 03:50:16.140
When these two teams did meet, the other day he was the top

03:50:16.140 --> 03:50:18.140
raced for the team as well.

03:50:18.140 --> 03:50:21.140
In fact, the only player I'll visit as well, the pair of them

03:50:21.140 --> 03:50:23.140
is both positive.

03:50:25.140 --> 03:50:27.140
It goes out.

03:50:27.140 --> 03:50:30.140
Longer watching away, and a slip on by by Shiger.

03:50:30.140 --> 03:50:32.140
He's got the things on one of the players behind

03:50:32.140 --> 03:50:35.140
a surprisingly sturdy...

03:50:35.140 --> 03:50:40.140
Oh, but it doesn't even matter. I knew the fight was coming, but Wizard, well prepared.

03:50:41.940 --> 03:50:43.640
Oh, Fnatic.

03:50:44.440 --> 03:50:45.240
Doin' front.

03:50:45.940 --> 03:50:46.540
Wizard.

03:50:47.740 --> 03:50:49.440
Just for the side-to-side.

03:50:49.640 --> 03:50:52.640
Just moves from one spot to another, drifts by, finds the kill.

03:50:53.940 --> 03:50:56.840
It's a mess on this pulse again. Great information.

03:50:57.940 --> 03:50:59.640
Spot's not stomping on the window.

03:50:59.840 --> 03:51:00.340
And...

03:51:01.040 --> 03:51:02.540
Very much like Shallie.

03:51:02.540 --> 03:51:05.540
Fanatic don't need to move.

03:51:06.540 --> 03:51:09.540
The wizards, giving G2 away back in.

03:51:10.540 --> 03:51:15.540
All Fanatic need to do is sit in their hands, play around the information that the pulse can supply and they'll win the round.

03:51:15.540 --> 03:51:17.540
Alamo, gonna take lead.

03:51:17.540 --> 03:51:21.540
Let's see if he can just bully his way in towards the site. He will be called out now.

03:51:21.540 --> 03:51:23.540
Smith on the pulse.

03:51:23.540 --> 03:51:25.540
What's Alamo gonna do?

03:51:25.540 --> 03:51:28.540
Player and Scythe was exactly where he is. He's gonna go for the pick.

03:51:28.540 --> 03:51:34.840
And Smith now has to get off and well, this is a tricky one that should have pinched him and your support and Smith has no idea

03:51:34.840 --> 03:51:36.840
But the player behind him. Oh

03:51:37.240 --> 03:51:42.520
He seemed to get a little bit of a whiff towards the end, but he didn't quite win it out in that engagement and now

03:51:43.080 --> 03:51:47.120
It leaves us in a tied bodies, but look at the time down my 10 seconds

03:51:47.120 --> 03:51:50.640
I'm now gonna see if you can try and bait the plant. He's worried about being swung

03:51:51.240 --> 03:51:55.920
Immediately stopping him. It's actually deep egg that wins the first fight still isn't is gonna follow through

03:51:55.920 --> 03:52:03.920
We have here on our third map on our first half of it an even hand

03:52:04.720 --> 03:52:07.440
We still have a direct shootout towards

03:52:08.080 --> 03:52:14.300
Who is going to make it internationally? So let's have a direct shot towards our wonderful desk

03:52:16.480 --> 03:52:17.480
Thank you very much

03:52:17.480 --> 03:52:22.440
I think I'm gonna file a request to turn this into a best of five because I am not done watching this game yet

03:52:22.440 --> 03:52:26.040
And I think on this final map, it has turned into an absolutely frag movie.

03:52:26.040 --> 03:52:30.360
It's been crazy. In the first half of the live, we said that nothing should have won, should have dominated it.

03:52:30.360 --> 03:52:31.800
Shal'e, we said it with G2.

03:52:31.800 --> 03:52:34.520
Uncappably, honestly, it should have been anybody.

03:52:34.520 --> 03:52:36.920
I feel like they both reached flow state.

03:52:36.920 --> 03:52:41.160
That's what it is. Look at this 1v1s, look at these kills, look at this moon where he sees the legs,

03:52:41.160 --> 03:52:44.280
and boom, perfectly right time, the right kill.

03:52:44.280 --> 03:52:46.920
And it's deep back on one side. Okay, cool.

03:52:46.920 --> 03:52:50.920
But G2 on the other. It seems that both of these thieves, they're reaching another level.

03:52:50.920 --> 03:52:56.240
Look at this, LML with the bar core here, shooting the ratings so he can go through the rotate, first kill here,

03:52:56.240 --> 03:53:02.240
he worried in second kill here Jack, it's just beautiful on both sides, look at here Jack here, boom, perfect as well.

03:53:02.240 --> 03:53:10.220
That whole strategy was completely, completely on the fly from G2 for Doki and Alumow to double peek the player in cocktail and find all those kills as well.

03:53:10.220 --> 03:53:18.260
And it just kept continuing, big one vs one from Benjitha, got one in his team around and then it carries on into the 4 family.

03:53:18.260 --> 03:53:21.420
Yeah, now it's Deepak on his side, after winning a very important clutch,

03:53:21.420 --> 03:53:24.180
he's back, he gets a triple kill on those red stairs.

03:53:24.180 --> 03:53:27.260
Bad tension to the comps, bad tension to the reactions from his players.

03:53:28.260 --> 03:53:31.020
They're all hyped, on both sides they're going hard.

03:53:31.020 --> 03:53:32.900
And it's the reality of it, right?

03:53:32.900 --> 03:53:36.100
It's the reality of two teams that have reached close-state, like I said.

03:53:36.100 --> 03:53:37.780
I used to play for them like this.

03:53:37.780 --> 03:53:41.700
I used to play for them like this because I would get super passionate about it.

03:53:41.700 --> 03:53:47.940
It's the moment where only the most genuine native adaptations come to life.

03:53:47.940 --> 03:53:53.380
It's the moment where Instinct takes over, where the fundamentals and the defaults don't matter anymore.

03:53:53.380 --> 03:53:57.140
And on both of these teams, I expected G2 to be able to show me that flow state.

03:53:57.140 --> 03:54:01.940
I did not expect SniTik to be able to contend with that level, and I'm so happy that we see it right now.

03:54:01.940 --> 03:54:06.500
That's the thing, regardless of what happens, and it's going to be a crazy next half of Siege,

03:54:06.500 --> 03:54:09.940
and maybe an overtime, but regardless of what happens tonight, I can be seriously,

03:54:09.940 --> 03:54:12.820
seriously proud that they got to this position at this point.

03:54:12.820 --> 03:54:16.340
We did say Cafe was maybe a little bit more 50-50 than we anticipated.

03:54:16.340 --> 03:54:22.340
We did see a free-free split, Fnatic will now go into their attack half, so that's where they can really show their flow state,

03:54:22.340 --> 03:54:24.340
really show some of their attacks that they've got going.

03:54:24.340 --> 03:54:29.340
And then looking at the bends, of course, as well, we'll see a Monty Ben and a Zombie Ben, nothing out of the ordinary so far.

03:54:29.340 --> 03:54:32.340
No, especially because Smith has been abusing the shields as much as possible.

03:54:32.340 --> 03:54:36.340
It was already the strategy on the side of D2Train, removing from the most important shields,

03:54:36.340 --> 03:54:41.340
and the Grimm, who will be abused for cocktail especially, who will be abused for bakery embasement.

03:54:41.340 --> 03:54:43.340
Two stronger paraders remove on their side.

03:54:43.340 --> 03:55:00.340
really thinking the blockbid necessarily has been seriously strong in the cafe, maybe the same with the blitz over then a bakery fast push, so you can see why they would get rid of the Monty, the Monty can just cross angles, can move people opposition, can play it slow and more methodical to try and move people for window cut offs, the other two shields not so much, so that's why they've chosen to get rid of the Grimm instead.

03:55:00.340 --> 03:55:09.340
Well with EWC qualification on the line, this game will have you on the edge of your seeds. The absolute fragfest continues here.

03:55:09.340 --> 03:55:17.900
For one final time, Demo, you and I will be into the breach and I'm to Dostoevsky and as they sort of said, can we get Fanatic's flow state?

03:55:17.900 --> 03:55:26.340
They opened brilliantly at the start of this series, a series where pretty much everybody had written off their chances and said, good job Fanatic, you've got this far.

03:55:26.340 --> 03:55:37.660
Well, you can still be proud of that, but this is where it ends. In fact, it was either a couple of quotes that might have been said by the desk and us throughout this game so far, but here, leveled up a final sprint.

03:55:37.660 --> 03:55:45.660
They weren't happy with what was said. They weren't happy with the possibility of not going international and they weren't happy.

03:55:45.660 --> 03:55:56.660
We've just another loss to G2. Org versus Org. G2 have won the previous seven engagements against Fnatic.

03:55:56.660 --> 03:56:00.660
Apparently, it's not lucky number eight.

03:56:00.660 --> 03:56:11.980
and make history here for G2 and not qualifying for an event feels good kind of

03:56:11.980 --> 03:56:16.400
freaks me out I'm saying that but that could be the possibility of what we're

03:56:16.400 --> 03:56:22.140
witnessing this is really giving us one heck of a showing here now they move

03:56:22.140 --> 03:56:26.540
over into their attacks I mean Smithy gets the shields only one of them can be

03:56:26.540 --> 03:56:30.780
fanned away from G2 side, the Monty, is it going to be available, but he still has the

03:56:30.780 --> 03:56:36.900
blitz and I'm sure a Blackbeard will probably follow if anyone gets fanned.

03:56:36.900 --> 03:56:40.820
An attic, looking at the line up, looks as though they're going to try and go for the

03:56:40.820 --> 03:56:46.300
freezer execute where you bring in the sense to cover off the lines of sight over towards

03:56:46.300 --> 03:56:51.900
VIP and restaurant and drop in and get the plant down. Players have to be on their toes

03:56:51.900 --> 03:56:57.740
I mean Benj is always gonna be the problem in that position inside of VIP. You can stop that hatch drop

03:56:57.740 --> 03:56:59.740
So that's why you need to bring those sense walls

03:57:01.340 --> 03:57:05.260
I mean for G2 I should know what's going on here, but

03:57:05.980 --> 03:57:09.000
It's gonna be a shit if I approach here from fanatic. It's not moved

03:57:10.180 --> 03:57:13.760
Move towards bakery. They're droning out the other side of the map

03:57:13.760 --> 03:57:16.620
So they're gonna change things up. They're not gonna go to the VIP and restaurant take

03:57:16.620 --> 03:57:22.220
Almost gets the end of Smith there and is the perfect man to watch for the job.

03:57:22.220 --> 03:57:26.140
The shield has made its way on past those season with split second to late.

03:57:26.140 --> 03:57:29.540
Wizard finds something in the meantime, they have the coverage and he's not quite able

03:57:29.540 --> 03:57:30.540
to get himself locked in.

03:57:30.540 --> 03:57:31.540
They're just keeping him at bay.

03:57:31.540 --> 03:57:32.540
Pepper shots, psycho.

03:57:32.540 --> 03:57:37.780
Does get the end of Smith, Alamow gets Wizard and that is those two players on that initial

03:57:37.780 --> 03:57:38.780
push caught out.

03:57:38.780 --> 03:57:41.380
Citizens gonna still try to make the most of the end of it, but it's dead shot.

03:57:41.380 --> 03:57:46.020
The ball for the drop shot, gets Benja shot and killed and taken out of the round itself.

03:57:46.020 --> 03:57:50.260
Two versus three here and the gadget tree is live and active.

03:57:50.260 --> 03:57:56.580
A single impact and Shoko might try and make the impact verticality so worried about being

03:57:56.580 --> 03:58:00.660
caught out on a drone and any music plays inside of every circle.

03:58:00.660 --> 03:58:04.900
They're fully seconds and though it's felt like it's been very quick and very direct,

03:58:04.900 --> 03:58:09.740
it's just sort of the change of pace and here look, D-Pack, he's on one, they've doubled

03:58:09.740 --> 03:58:14.580
up to try and root the player itself. They've opted instead to leave a citizen in a 1 vs 1

03:58:14.580 --> 03:58:19.740
in the coverage and there's the isolation, a great cross, and that leaves just Alamout

03:58:19.740 --> 03:58:25.900
left. DMR at dawn does some of the damage to Org melee himself, he can't quite get the

03:58:25.900 --> 03:58:32.060
end of the effect, they're putting the pressure in and Fnatic! Strike first, strike hard! Strike

03:58:32.060 --> 03:58:45.820
one. Fantastic. Fantastic. Love it. In the free V2, what do they do? They assess the way

03:58:45.820 --> 03:58:51.020
G2 play. What do you think G2 love? They love a flank. They love a retake. They love whenever

03:58:51.020 --> 03:58:56.060
they're a man down. They try and make a play. They stop that play from happening. They take

03:58:56.060 --> 03:58:59.900
their time. Everyone freezes. They wait until they can come with their flanks. They get that

03:58:59.900 --> 03:59:05.260
room position. There's a little bit of a shoulder jiggle by the player on red stairs. Didn't know

03:59:05.260 --> 03:59:09.740
he was caught out on a drone but fanatic now and what did they do? They weighed it until they could

03:59:09.740 --> 03:59:15.020
get everyone in position and then it's a three two one. Then the guy in the window stopped them walking

03:59:15.020 --> 03:59:21.420
up. Deadshot has the burps and all important they have the glass who has a line of sight that he can

03:59:21.420 --> 03:59:27.100
make with his sniper rifle to finish off that player on red stairs. The way that they've went

03:59:27.100 --> 03:59:33.820
about dealing with that breath that g2 have tried to force with that retake has been dealt with there

03:59:33.820 --> 03:59:38.540
and then leaves alam out in the 1v3 not going to do much for the operator that he's on he only has

03:59:38.540 --> 03:59:44.140
a dmr doesn't have any form of denial fanatic yeah fantastic love it absolutely love it

03:59:49.980 --> 03:59:54.700
four three divide gets a little bit further a little bit wider and

03:59:54.700 --> 04:00:00.660
and reminded a little bit more about what that early game, Fnatic, was like, the very

04:00:00.660 --> 04:00:06.180
start of this series, as he said, great perfection, great sort of knowledge of the game being

04:00:06.180 --> 04:00:16.220
put, and I quote, in that first part, their attack on-layer against G2, while Dax was

04:00:16.220 --> 04:00:19.940
pretty concise on the idea that Fnatic on their attacks, they were tactically brilliant,

04:00:19.940 --> 04:00:24.980
could have gotten all six should have probably got at least five of those if not for a big

04:00:24.980 --> 04:00:34.260
clutch against them. I guess we're getting just that swim. In the second hand are a team

04:00:35.220 --> 04:00:41.060
that has built their sort of bread on their attack gt being put to the paces by somebody who's

04:00:41.060 --> 04:00:45.940
learned those lessons, studied them at school and said I think I can now graduate and do better.

04:00:49.940 --> 04:00:53.940
engagement isn't the MO right now you can see there

04:00:53.940 --> 04:00:57.780
sort of assessing feeling themselves up towards the top here across and don't get

04:00:57.780 --> 04:01:03.260
caught by C4's it doesn't touch the boards the IQ getting the work done as

04:01:03.260 --> 04:01:07.340
well removing the Valkyrie cams again you look towards what is five C4's demo

04:01:07.340 --> 04:01:11.780
you get an idea of the games they want to play with the Valkyrie and the Pulse

04:01:11.780 --> 04:01:18.180
deadshot is the most flightful person right now yeah floor is lava

04:01:18.180 --> 04:01:21.020
They get him now that we're going into.

04:01:21.780 --> 04:01:24.660
Canonic has to be very, very careful.

04:01:25.180 --> 04:01:28.340
As G2 are primed and ready with his C4s.

04:01:29.420 --> 04:01:32.420
You can get Alan out in a position to feed that information over, but.

04:01:33.900 --> 04:01:37.580
We're just got there is some in pre place, but you don't really want pre play C4s

04:01:37.580 --> 04:01:39.180
whenever you're dealing with the IQ.

04:01:39.180 --> 04:01:40.980
That shot can call them out immediately.

04:01:40.980 --> 04:01:43.300
So nobody from for that will be a danger.

04:01:43.300 --> 04:01:48.500
This area is kind of in a really good position to him towards Pillar as the Soul of Snake

04:01:48.500 --> 04:01:49.500
can scan it out.

04:01:49.500 --> 04:01:54.460
The Avenger swings him from the double door and fanatic to get a move on in towards the

04:01:54.460 --> 04:01:55.460
bomb site.

04:01:55.460 --> 04:02:01.740
Well as they go down and sort of drop each other back and forth over the bar with the

04:02:01.740 --> 04:02:05.500
train itself, they're sort of left bender in the middle, they're probably not getting

04:02:05.500 --> 04:02:09.540
him back up before things turn into a shove, but they don't want to hand themselves in

04:02:09.540 --> 04:02:10.540
towards the engagement.

04:02:10.540 --> 04:02:15.540
They saw how close it was there, they know the bait was laid, and Shiko does find Smith.

04:02:15.540 --> 04:02:19.540
But then, they're still kills coming out from inside the site, dead shot.

04:02:19.540 --> 04:02:26.540
Doing a hero's job inside, leaving Doki alone, and I said at the start of this round, Doki's clutch was one of the reasons

04:02:26.540 --> 04:02:31.540
that Fnatic weren't able to get as many rounds as they did before, but it won't be the case here!

04:02:31.540 --> 04:02:33.540
Fnatic!

04:02:33.540 --> 04:02:36.540
Two in a row, two ahead.

04:02:36.540 --> 04:02:38.540
Strike two.

04:02:38.540 --> 04:02:46.540
They're doing it. They're doing it. By the way, I do feel as though your strike thing isn't going to work because even if it gets strike free, G2's still in it.

04:02:46.540 --> 04:02:50.540
So they're not, is it strike four or is that stuff you're going to play here?

04:02:50.540 --> 04:03:00.540
Yeah, we play a different game of baseball here. Listen, I didn't expect it to hold up for two rounds, but I can't stop the pattern.

04:03:00.540 --> 04:03:04.540
Well, I was going to do strike two, leave it at that.

04:03:04.540 --> 04:03:08.380
I had a plan, if you hadn't mentioned it,

04:03:08.380 --> 04:03:11.060
but now you have, I can say during the tech time now,

04:03:11.060 --> 04:03:12.300
if they lost the third round,

04:03:12.300 --> 04:03:14.860
I was gonna say the ball is heartling

04:03:14.860 --> 04:03:16.100
to wall to strike three.

04:03:16.100 --> 04:03:17.620
Oh, you would've delayed it, I see.

04:03:17.620 --> 04:03:18.700
I would've delayed it.

04:03:18.700 --> 04:03:21.220
I would've kept the audience on the edge of that scene.

04:03:21.220 --> 04:03:22.060
I saw that there was.

04:03:22.060 --> 04:03:23.740
Ian Chambers style.

04:03:26.660 --> 04:03:29.740
I mean, G2, I think this is where the,

04:03:29.740 --> 04:03:31.380
I don't wanna say panic,

04:03:31.380 --> 04:03:32.860
but it's that kind of feeling

04:03:32.860 --> 04:03:41.980
getting your gut where it's like oh dear we have to pull these rounds back because I mean now they

04:03:41.980 --> 04:03:47.580
need they need four rounds and fanatic only need two it's it's a lot it is a lot that g2 have to

04:03:47.580 --> 04:03:54.620
try and go for you but just take it one round at a time but fanatic I love the call of just hitting

04:03:54.620 --> 04:03:59.580
the site direct you know whenever they get wizard and I think it's from the fact that wizard was

04:03:59.580 --> 04:04:05.900
able to gather a lot of information, and then they played off that, and as soon as you lose the

04:04:05.900 --> 04:04:10.620
sight player, it is a bit pandemonium for G2, they were really struggling to figure out what they

04:04:10.620 --> 04:04:20.940
wanted to do, and there's some backstabs that work really well for G2 also, or for Fnatic, sorry,

04:04:20.940 --> 04:04:22.140
And... Yeah!

04:04:22.640 --> 04:04:24.840
Where's Rolf? G2!

04:04:25.840 --> 04:04:27.640
Try and step up here.

04:04:29.140 --> 04:04:31.140
Engines got seven kills and that's it.

04:04:31.840 --> 04:04:34.540
Look at Fnatic, DPEC and 12, citizens and eight.

04:04:36.140 --> 04:04:39.140
More players coming into the fold for Fnatic than there is for G2.

04:04:41.740 --> 04:04:44.940
I think that was always the thing I said, right, on the split of it.

04:04:44.940 --> 04:04:48.540
It was on their defense, only a couple of them operate, but then they get towards this side and...

04:04:48.540 --> 04:04:51.100
You know, that's like a deep-ackage, playing an absolute blinder.

04:04:52.380 --> 04:04:54.860
The whole team is just sort of getting up there.

04:04:55.420 --> 04:04:57.420
When they come together on these approaches and...

04:04:58.620 --> 04:04:59.900
You have the comparison.

04:05:00.700 --> 04:05:04.780
Of the last time, obviously, that these two teams sort of met on this map.

04:05:05.180 --> 04:05:07.180
As I said before, only two of them were positive.

04:05:07.180 --> 04:05:09.580
Smith was far and away.

04:05:10.060 --> 04:05:15.100
Unfortunately, the lowest rated player in the sub was 4 and 12, and it was a max OT game.

04:05:15.660 --> 04:05:18.060
So it's just one of them, it's just Smith.

04:05:18.060 --> 04:05:20.060
Fly is a bit better as he's doing

04:05:20.900 --> 04:05:25.860
Well, then maybe it's a different fate as I said two of the rounds were clutch rounds from the side of fanatic

04:05:25.860 --> 04:05:27.860
But at this point

04:05:27.940 --> 04:05:33.780
Because the team has uplifted itself on a target a project that has lasted a very long time

04:05:34.620 --> 04:05:36.620
and had many different iterations

04:05:37.780 --> 04:05:41.100
Many different faces maybe finally

04:05:42.620 --> 04:05:44.620
They found one

04:05:45.500 --> 04:05:47.500
Get their way

04:05:48.060 --> 04:05:58.060
They're looking for that first body, that first picker, surrounding them towards the lock below.

04:05:58.060 --> 04:06:06.060
They're obviously getting themselves a bit driven here on the previous kitchen approach.

04:06:06.060 --> 04:06:10.060
They sort of sent themselves in and it was back and forth and then they piece it together.

04:06:10.060 --> 04:06:14.060
It's a different MO here, they're above, they're being a bit slower and steadier.

04:06:14.060 --> 04:06:17.060
G2 gonna try and interact with them.

04:06:18.060 --> 04:06:23.060
Good information. Once more from Wizards. Three of them being pinged at.

04:06:25.060 --> 04:06:29.060
If Fnatic can try and pull the way up the back of that two and bait three one inside of Prep.

04:06:30.060 --> 04:06:33.060
So I know we'll be forced to try and get Doki a bit of safety.

04:06:33.060 --> 04:06:36.060
Just worrying that something could jump in through the window, but maybe it's a bait and switches.

04:06:36.060 --> 04:06:40.060
Fnatic is from the retention towards VIP and Restra, and Alamile though strikes first.

04:06:40.060 --> 04:06:45.060
And here comes the shield, but Benjou wins that one out of Alamile, the DMRs!

04:06:45.060 --> 04:06:51.580
They are singing right now, but Wizards with two response needs more than that though.

04:06:51.580 --> 04:06:53.460
They can keep this team in it, but not going to be the case.

04:06:53.460 --> 04:06:58.660
Shaiiko puts it into that and dead shot as it all to do, and it's going to be a trade,

04:06:58.660 --> 04:07:02.140
but Shaiiko, he doesn't care as long as he gets the kill.

04:07:02.140 --> 04:07:05.020
Well, that's four rounds in a row ended for Fnatic.

04:07:05.020 --> 04:07:10.580
They got the last two defenses, first two attacks, but G2 have finally found a way to

04:07:10.580 --> 04:07:12.500
stop the seemingly runaway train.

04:07:12.500 --> 04:07:23.700
they keep themselves within touching distance, 5 to 4, but at this point, they still have

04:07:23.700 --> 04:07:27.460
to go back potentially towards the site that they've lost, obviously reading room and fireplace

04:07:27.460 --> 04:07:32.540
was, when things got a bit heated, it's not that it's sort of runaway rounds, obviously

04:07:32.540 --> 04:07:37.780
there was the one flawless previously, and then at the very start of the game G2, had

04:07:37.780 --> 04:07:49.540
pretty solid round otherwise it's just this thread back and forth the whole season sort

04:07:49.540 --> 04:07:56.940
of comes down to just this map and outside of saying the results are what part of here

04:07:56.940 --> 04:08:03.500
the results don't really matter so much you just have to play the game in front of you

04:08:03.500 --> 04:08:10.500
If you don't find yourself earning spots on the plane, then it's an actual plane.

04:08:18.500 --> 04:08:21.500
Alright, G2, you've got one.

04:08:21.500 --> 04:08:23.500
A few more than that.

04:08:23.500 --> 04:08:25.500
About it.

04:08:26.500 --> 04:08:28.500
How will you deal on your next attack?

04:08:28.500 --> 04:08:31.500
We're heading towards the top floor now.

04:08:31.500 --> 04:08:41.500
Off-Floor was not seen at all during Fanatic's defensive half. They stayed away from this bomb site because of the other runs, but didn't dare go upstairs.

04:08:41.500 --> 04:08:48.500
Now, I know basic fire, right? He attests this top floor. This is his most hated site in the game, I believe, joined with Shally Basement.

04:08:48.500 --> 04:08:53.500
He thinks they are undefendable in many circumstances.

04:08:53.500 --> 04:08:58.500
I think the reason why they would feel that this top floor is kind of like that is window gameplay.

04:08:58.500 --> 04:09:01.500
I think window gameplay really hinders this bomb site for defenders.

04:09:01.500 --> 04:09:03.500
You don't have a lot of safe positions you can sit.

04:09:03.500 --> 04:09:09.500
If you've got maybe two players and we'll tell one player towards piano, other player on the cocktail propels.

04:09:09.500 --> 04:09:13.500
Very, very difficult and you can get pinched very easily, combo it up a bit in utility.

04:09:13.500 --> 04:09:16.500
Yeah, that would act there. That's why you see operators from G2.

04:09:16.500 --> 04:09:20.500
Excellent. Great at denying that utility. Blocks those line of sights on the windows.

04:09:20.500 --> 04:09:25.500
Sadly, very easily counterable, sledge, light work of that, no problems at all.

04:09:25.500 --> 04:09:28.500
But also for G2, they've got the mirrors.

04:09:28.500 --> 04:09:32.500
Mirrors upstairs do make this top floor defendable, because you can hold piano.

04:09:32.500 --> 04:09:36.500
The most important bombsite on this top floor, you're not going to be able to get into it now,

04:09:36.500 --> 04:09:38.500
unless you can pop those mirror windows.

04:09:38.500 --> 04:09:41.500
So, for Fnatic, that's the struggle. How do you get through those mirror windows?

04:09:41.500 --> 04:09:43.500
Looking at the lineup, they don't have much.

04:09:43.500 --> 04:09:50.460
They're going to go for a bit of a hot and heavy drop on towards the hatches, and I'm

04:09:50.460 --> 04:09:51.460
going to pull back.

04:09:51.460 --> 04:09:56.300
It's a nice shotgun, but it's not quite the one that you want to be hitting on towards

04:09:56.300 --> 04:09:57.300
multiple targets.

04:09:57.300 --> 04:09:58.300
You can see that.

04:09:58.300 --> 04:10:01.780
Their shot could try and ruin the loop of Grenade up, but that's the Avenger that gets

04:10:01.780 --> 04:10:02.780
the C4 first.

04:10:02.780 --> 04:10:06.420
What's that up through a hatch?

04:10:06.420 --> 04:10:07.820
Was that a bit of potential pressure?

04:10:07.820 --> 04:10:11.100
But you can see Fnatic, they're having to sort of scarper and change plans intact.

04:10:11.100 --> 04:10:16.700
Moving back and, oh, Deepak almost suffers next, just on the transition away from Repel.

04:10:16.700 --> 04:10:22.700
You see that? They're putting the pressure external, leaning out of the skylight, of the

04:10:22.700 --> 04:10:28.900
windows, of the doors. Who knows? They'll try and bite from next. Instead, they're not

04:10:28.900 --> 04:10:32.180
going to take the drop on the hatches and that sort of strange pressure. They'll pull

04:10:32.180 --> 04:10:35.100
themselves back. It makes life a little bit easier here for Elamow. He can direct his

04:10:35.100 --> 04:10:39.580
fight singularly, put some stuff up, erase the bloom, and means we'll even if we take

04:10:39.580 --> 04:10:43.940
But I still have a bit of a slow and you later and instead actually is worried about pressure

04:10:44.060 --> 04:10:46.460
It can come up from behind him gets the flashing

04:10:47.020 --> 04:10:49.020
He's not quite sure which way to go down right?

04:10:49.620 --> 04:10:52.460
I think as he castled off behind him, so I think he's pretty safe

04:10:54.100 --> 04:10:58.780
And this is where the castle is very important for this top floor and how it works

04:10:59.540 --> 04:11:03.700
For dead shot as he hits the nastiest one-shot headshot of his life

04:11:03.900 --> 04:11:07.620
This shot gonna put him down a coach range bend your fine citizen and yet just

04:11:07.620 --> 04:11:12.020
It feels as though it's going to be a lockout here for G2, the U-Till.

04:11:12.020 --> 04:11:13.940
It's been set up correctly.

04:11:13.940 --> 04:11:16.060
But Adamc just don't have it off to try and get through it.

04:11:16.060 --> 04:11:20.740
Alaba just still extends himself, but still it's going to be up against it and will be

04:11:20.740 --> 04:11:21.740
slaughtered.

04:11:21.740 --> 04:11:23.740
That Castle Barricade was fully prepped or was impacted.

04:11:23.740 --> 04:11:26.500
They don't know what shrinks up after they've impacted it now.

04:11:26.500 --> 04:11:32.420
And D-Pack now in the 1v3 has it all to do, but Stomp and puts them out of his misery.

04:11:32.420 --> 04:11:39.420
a big top floor hold there from G2 showing the power of a castle in a mirror.

04:11:40.420 --> 04:11:50.420
Okay, okay, okay, still going. They've been able to get themselves clawed back in demo and a few and I thought we were done.

04:11:51.420 --> 04:11:56.420
Far be us, for be too correct. Now, the timeout.

04:11:56.420 --> 04:11:58.420
Both used in short succession.

04:11:59.180 --> 04:12:03.520
Problem is, Fnatic. However, the two timeouts they've had throughout this series,

04:12:03.980 --> 04:12:08.620
neither of them were immediately successful. They had success the round after they were successful,

04:12:08.620 --> 04:12:13.140
but that means that, well, they would just be fighting in towards overtime. They wouldn't be fighting

04:12:14.620 --> 04:12:16.620
ahead, front foot forward.

04:12:18.420 --> 04:12:20.980
Things have fallen slightly by the way.

04:12:20.980 --> 04:12:29.440
way. The way could be made a bit clearer here. They just have to sort of bring things together

04:12:29.440 --> 04:12:37.400
on towards a tertiary hold. Technically a tertiary site. One two, lost two. You know you'll be

04:12:37.400 --> 04:12:51.520
attacking that mid floor what do you bring out for it? G2, that momentum back on their

04:12:51.520 --> 04:12:59.000
side fanatic and have a block here need to try and shake themselves out of it.

04:12:59.000 --> 04:13:07.320
You know for all of the kills, Avenger has some double digits to have a first player

04:13:07.320 --> 04:13:09.440
for G2 to be on that.

04:13:09.440 --> 04:13:12.440
Still, Orphanatic, E-Pack leading the way.

04:13:12.440 --> 04:13:17.280
A little bit closer now in terms of kills, but the kill of this game is up the air,

04:13:17.280 --> 04:13:20.440
so she's going to grab it.

04:13:20.440 --> 04:13:22.440
Fireplaces where we head to.

04:13:22.440 --> 04:13:28.040
Last time we were here, it was a very quick, direct take.

04:13:28.040 --> 04:13:31.040
I'll just base the opportunity spotting.

04:13:32.040 --> 04:13:34.040
So for G2, they need to be aware of that.

04:13:34.040 --> 04:13:39.040
Even with G2, I mean, they've kind of stacked off the C4 game that they have.

04:13:39.040 --> 04:13:42.040
More trap operators come in, which I think is a bit of a necessity.

04:13:42.040 --> 04:13:44.040
Whenever you're against them, I can repeat,

04:13:44.040 --> 04:13:47.040
no, you're up against Smith who's always going to be playing those shields.

04:13:51.040 --> 04:13:54.040
There is, obviously, the balance at this point,

04:13:54.040 --> 04:13:57.040
but both teams have been able to have a team talk and G2's has not had them

04:13:57.040 --> 04:14:04.040
them success so I could have just sort of given the continuation

04:14:05.040 --> 04:14:09.040
you see the slightly less dedication towards the C4 to the previous hole

04:14:09.040 --> 04:14:15.040
it didn't work, that shot was the most important man and now he's only really got a singular problem

04:14:15.040 --> 04:14:19.040
but the hole itself whether it's a play towards the open spaces the limitation

04:14:19.040 --> 04:14:24.040
the castle alongside the fun rear mines not doing the we're going to try and watch from far

04:14:24.040 --> 04:14:29.400
bar and get you sneakily, they're saying, bring it on, find us in the firefight, find

04:14:29.400 --> 04:14:36.520
us in the mix of things, force fanatic inside, you can see they're already changing the tact

04:14:36.520 --> 04:14:41.320
by the contest of the top floor.

04:14:41.320 --> 04:14:52.920
Maybe a top floor clear, see that the Candelas are flying them ready from DPEC, which depends

04:14:52.920 --> 04:14:55.760
of someone's ready to jump off the back of it.

04:14:55.760 --> 04:15:00.840
Quiet, at the moment that's the memo.

04:15:00.840 --> 04:15:04.960
I'm doing as they can tell us, but not much is happening, even though the black grid is

04:15:04.960 --> 04:15:07.480
always keeping in mind who has the diffuser.

04:15:07.480 --> 04:15:14.360
It's just out on the south propel, seeing if you can find anything, but G2, I'm only

04:15:14.360 --> 04:15:19.320
having an extension in towards reading and Bill, you've got Claire, inside cigar shop,

04:15:19.320 --> 04:15:24.120
Alomar's there with that shot on close, so difficult for somebody who wants to try and challenge into him.

04:15:24.120 --> 04:15:25.320
From red stairs.

04:15:25.820 --> 04:15:29.320
Oh dear, G2's gonna be the one to go first and ho ho, fanatic!

04:15:29.320 --> 04:15:33.120
I've tried it again, they've tried to walk into sight, but this time it's been stopped.

04:15:37.020 --> 04:15:40.920
Four to three, a single body slips on that distance and as he said,

04:15:41.820 --> 04:15:44.020
stopped as they tried to route themselves in and

04:15:44.620 --> 04:15:47.620
it takes the wind out of the sails and seems to sort of slow down.

04:15:47.620 --> 04:15:49.620
Look at Kev.

04:15:49.620 --> 04:15:50.620
Yeah.

04:15:50.620 --> 04:15:51.620
What it is?

04:15:51.620 --> 04:15:52.620
Uh, you have...

04:15:52.620 --> 04:15:54.620
Oh, it's just that it's not ideal as a...

04:15:54.620 --> 04:15:56.620
He came in through the window, didn't he?

04:15:56.620 --> 04:15:57.620
He did.

04:15:57.620 --> 04:15:59.620
Uh, okay.

04:15:59.620 --> 04:16:01.620
Uh...

04:16:01.620 --> 04:16:03.620
That's not ideal either, I think.

04:16:03.620 --> 04:16:06.620
Doki doesn't get a deep egg in revenge, but...

04:16:08.620 --> 04:16:10.620
Oh, he just missed the road there.

04:16:10.620 --> 04:16:11.620
He's losing.

04:16:11.620 --> 04:16:12.620
Missed the road there.

04:16:12.620 --> 04:16:15.620
They could have leveled things up instead.

04:16:15.620 --> 04:16:20.140
Further down citizen does find Benja couldn't quite connect to two buses to 20 seconds

04:16:20.940 --> 04:16:22.940
position that doki's holding

04:16:24.060 --> 04:16:27.100
In the offside he's gonna get tracked so he can just sort of slip his way over

04:16:27.100 --> 04:16:31.220
You know the gadget there and instead they focus on towards citizen wizard

04:16:32.500 --> 04:16:34.500
Can't quite get doki g2

04:16:35.460 --> 04:16:39.220
They sit on map series and

04:16:40.740 --> 04:16:42.740
Major point

04:16:42.740 --> 04:16:50.240
This is the first time in this series that G2 has that match point in regular time.

04:16:50.240 --> 04:16:59.040
It's been fanatic who have went 6'5' up the other times, so G2, they can close it up here

04:16:59.040 --> 04:17:00.040
and now.

04:17:00.040 --> 04:17:07.600
Same thing for fanatic, to try to just force that shield into the site and if it doesn't

04:17:07.600 --> 04:17:11.680
work you're always playing catch up and that was the case here for fanatic.

04:17:11.680 --> 04:17:20.760
I would like to hear them whenever they win, if they win.

04:17:20.760 --> 04:17:27.840
Imagine if they were just like, that was good.

04:17:27.840 --> 04:17:35.720
They all let out a round of applaud, which is when you do one single clap.

04:17:35.720 --> 04:17:37.760
Nice job guys, see if it screams tomorrow.

04:17:37.760 --> 04:17:41.280
See if it screams tomorrow, a single round of applaud, done.

04:17:41.280 --> 04:17:50.080
to work. Oh dear. I love it. I think any sport you need to have passion. Any sport you celebrate,

04:17:50.080 --> 04:17:53.280
you keep the energy. They have passion from the first round today. Sure, we heard about it all the

04:17:53.280 --> 04:17:59.120
way back at Lair. They're up for this today and equally, I think for a fanatic, they applied

04:17:59.840 --> 04:18:06.000
great today. And I think that is maybe the sad thing, you know, for a fanatic. This is the

04:18:06.000 --> 04:18:09.000
the closest that they've ever been to making it to an event.

04:18:09.000 --> 04:18:18.640
I think it's the element of the passion and intensity of G2, the team that we know and

04:18:18.640 --> 04:18:22.840
expect as sub-guests within the international stages. We know what these world-class players

04:18:22.840 --> 04:18:26.880
have to love. We know how well they did slightly earlier on the year.

04:18:26.880 --> 04:18:31.120
Then showing how intense they are about the showdown is, in a way, the biggest compliment

04:18:31.120 --> 04:18:36.040
to Fnatic is they're forcing this level of energy.

04:18:36.040 --> 04:18:38.960
They're forcing every round for G2's sake

04:18:38.960 --> 04:18:41.580
to feel like the World Cup win.

04:18:42.440 --> 04:18:45.600
Because G2 knows how tough this game is.

04:18:45.600 --> 04:18:46.760
And it's not done yet, right?

04:18:46.760 --> 04:18:48.800
It's not done yet.

04:18:48.800 --> 04:18:51.120
That was just them getting to this stage, as you said.

04:18:51.120 --> 04:18:53.560
Imagine if they took the whole thing.

04:18:53.560 --> 04:18:57.600
That's because Fnatic have made them have to work for it.

04:18:57.600 --> 04:19:06.040
here from an unbeaten run, in groups towards the fall yesterday, towards this, one round

04:19:06.040 --> 04:19:19.240
away, and getting themselves to one round to tie things back up.

04:19:19.240 --> 04:19:20.080
There we go.

04:19:21.620 --> 04:19:22.460
Fanatic.

04:19:24.100 --> 04:19:27.340
That's what they wanted, that mid-floor control.

04:19:27.340 --> 04:19:28.180
Dead shot.

04:19:28.180 --> 04:19:31.820
Start using that buck, making that vertical.

04:19:31.820 --> 04:19:33.940
That just depends on where Fanatic want to pivot to.

04:19:33.940 --> 04:19:35.900
What's gonna be their put side up on that

04:19:35.900 --> 04:19:36.780
where they want to attack.

04:19:36.780 --> 04:19:39.940
It looks to be bakery, is on the menu.

04:19:39.940 --> 04:19:42.540
Got the cap tout lined up and ready with that util dump

04:19:42.540 --> 04:19:44.100
along with that glass once again

04:19:44.100 --> 04:19:45.420
and smiths on that shield.

04:19:45.420 --> 04:19:49.060
So similar lineup to how they played it last time.

04:19:49.060 --> 04:19:53.560
Oh no. Oh no! Tobago no! Shite go!

04:19:54.560 --> 04:19:57.560
He put his hat on his head! Does he know he might have fluffed it?

04:19:59.060 --> 04:20:03.560
Well they have that body advantage. He set up a pool of G2. They sort of operate when they have that.

04:20:04.060 --> 04:20:05.060
And now and they don't.

04:20:06.060 --> 04:20:10.060
Well how can they try and put this off together? This is desperately trying to make a way in.

04:20:10.060 --> 04:20:15.560
But being robust by the side, but Citizen gets the free target and there goes Stumpin', there goes Foki!

04:20:15.560 --> 04:20:21.880
There goes that sheer turning into a little bit of a screeching stop here, Alamo.

04:20:21.880 --> 04:20:28.040
A massive flank finds one, retakes the verticality, but with Benja getting two, suddenly it's

04:20:28.040 --> 04:20:29.040
the three versus two.

04:20:29.040 --> 04:20:32.760
Now what do they do if they try and cut their way across for the fight against Benja?

04:20:32.760 --> 04:20:34.560
Do they try and plant the shield in the back?

04:20:34.560 --> 04:20:36.400
Hope the verticality doesn't quite make it.

04:20:36.400 --> 04:20:37.400
You can see they've crossed the divide.

04:20:37.400 --> 04:20:39.400
Do they know about the position of Benja, the C4?

04:20:39.400 --> 04:20:44.280
Well, let's quite get the down on them, but Deepak does find Benja and now the plant.

04:20:44.280 --> 04:20:49.280
Coming together, can he get to the angle in time? I don't think he can, he's got a drop down.

04:20:51.280 --> 04:20:55.280
We have ourselves a post plant, they rotate on the verticality, the shield is just that.

04:20:55.280 --> 04:20:59.280
On top of the kit, they've gone right on towards Bakery with the assumed glass.

04:20:59.280 --> 04:21:05.280
Yeah, you heard the bullet start to pop its way across and you expected that right,

04:21:05.280 --> 04:21:08.280
the shield is just going to hold sort of caught close by and say,

04:21:08.280 --> 04:21:10.560
and say, like, you've got to turn your back to me.

04:21:10.560 --> 04:21:12.240
Oh, OK.

04:21:12.240 --> 04:21:13.720
Get out of there easy.

04:21:13.720 --> 04:21:18.280
The 20 seconds, the glass, the experience of these players.

04:21:18.280 --> 04:21:20.680
And they pull themselves back and further and further away

04:21:20.680 --> 04:21:21.320
at this point.

04:21:21.320 --> 04:21:24.000
He's just going to be picked up.

04:21:24.000 --> 04:21:28.760
We are in OT.

04:21:28.760 --> 04:21:30.160
Here we go.

04:21:30.160 --> 04:21:34.280
OT once more, just like map number one.

04:21:34.280 --> 04:21:36.960
What a series we are being treated to.

04:21:36.960 --> 04:21:38.960
And I know well

04:21:39.120 --> 04:21:41.680
We have to talk about the the first engagement

04:21:42.640 --> 04:21:44.640
Shaco

04:21:44.800 --> 04:21:46.800
That was the moment

04:21:46.960 --> 04:21:49.680
And he just total freebie and he let it slip

04:21:50.960 --> 04:21:55.280
I also have to highlight I think smith's the plant position he chose was perfect

04:21:55.920 --> 04:22:01.200
Realizing that deadshot died above he knows where benja is if he can just jump in through that window

04:22:01.440 --> 04:22:05.040
Get himself in towards the rice corner and he can just plant

04:22:05.040 --> 04:22:10.040
No problems at all, nobody can stop him, there's no vert angles on him.

04:22:10.040 --> 04:22:14.040
That is that's it right there, that's the moment.

04:22:14.040 --> 04:22:16.040
And he knew he messed up.

04:22:18.040 --> 04:22:22.040
Yeah, whenever that kill comes in, Smith then knows exactly where he needs to plan.

04:22:22.040 --> 04:22:26.040
Oh, Jessica, call that because he's prone.

04:22:26.040 --> 04:22:37.240
It's a big, big difference in terms of the screen factor, is that the way it's going to...

04:22:37.240 --> 04:22:39.040
It's kind of what I said earlier, right?

04:22:39.040 --> 04:22:40.840
It's nice and chill, isn't it?

04:22:40.840 --> 04:22:43.120
It's so chill.

04:22:43.120 --> 04:22:45.200
Now there's that weird worry.

04:22:45.200 --> 04:22:47.120
They are on defense.

04:22:47.120 --> 04:22:55.240
Statistically, it's not the third sort of angle of the game, the angle of the map.

04:22:55.240 --> 04:22:59.240
They've just looked more kinetic on attack. They've looked more confident.

04:23:01.240 --> 04:23:07.240
But this is that other statement that I sort of made. They heated up into the previous game. They heated up.

04:23:08.240 --> 04:23:14.240
These things sort of continue to go, so now we get that taste of the overtime game with them.

04:23:15.240 --> 04:23:20.240
They've had that chance to heat up. They've had that chance to come in fresh on towards the side of their attack.

04:23:20.240 --> 04:23:26.640
a split here. They fall away from G2, they're on towards the shield and try and drive the blitz in.

04:23:29.200 --> 04:23:33.680
In terms of how these sort of sights have hit heads before.

04:23:36.480 --> 04:23:38.560
Long time since we had G2 on the attack.

04:23:40.800 --> 04:23:45.840
Thanks, I have a sort of quick scan through. Okay, they ran one blitz and around it they won.

04:23:50.240 --> 04:23:59.060
There's no immediate contest, it does feel like Lair and the OT were both sides, just

04:23:59.060 --> 04:24:01.880
don't want to get the first pick up.

04:24:01.880 --> 04:24:07.120
He goes the ramp, sideway of course to remove the vertical flooring.

04:24:07.120 --> 04:24:12.680
He backed out to hangling for the C4 but I realised that, right, I C4 that, that's

04:24:12.680 --> 04:24:14.800
all real person.

04:24:14.800 --> 04:24:24.800
So, G2. Got the Verts. Where do you want to go? Gonna be a VIP restaurant tank. Look at where Stumpin' is. He's on the shield.

04:24:24.800 --> 04:24:27.800
He can run straight at Wizard. He's gonna be in the hot seat.

04:24:27.800 --> 04:24:30.800
Is top, so he can slow the Blitz.

04:24:30.800 --> 04:24:34.800
There is a counter play to it, of course, and has a C4.

04:24:34.800 --> 04:24:39.800
It's a citizen. Yeah, he's in this position, right?

04:24:39.800 --> 04:24:46.040
As soon as they try and drive themselves in, as you say, on towards that position, on towards the tub,

04:24:46.040 --> 04:24:53.000
they'll sort of, it's almost this conversation, it's mutually assured, fighting as Alamow is the one that steps round.

04:24:53.000 --> 04:24:57.160
They're going to force the player out from behind the bar, and then they're about as soon as they're being closed.

04:24:57.160 --> 04:24:59.720
That shot takes damage, drips further and further away.

04:25:01.000 --> 04:25:03.800
They're going with a thinker, Bruce. They're going to see if they can maybe try and move in.

04:25:03.800 --> 04:25:06.360
We can hit some smokes popping elsewhere, and that's the slowest.

04:25:06.360 --> 04:25:08.560
Tuber out and it's dokiing.

04:25:08.560 --> 04:25:11.480
With a pitch perfect, pinch up towards the player.

04:25:11.480 --> 04:25:14.080
And now, that leaves Tuber out a little bit alone.

04:25:14.080 --> 04:25:16.360
Around the Christmas presents, he voids the first.

04:25:16.360 --> 04:25:18.560
Quite skillfully, puts the pressure on with the stack.

04:25:18.560 --> 04:25:22.080
He wears the support, wears the fight, he doesn't need it.

04:25:22.080 --> 04:25:23.960
Doubles down the drive now onto the stash.

04:25:23.960 --> 04:25:25.560
He slurs back into the sniper.

04:25:25.560 --> 04:25:27.520
Shaco gets one and gets traded back.

04:25:27.520 --> 04:25:30.640
There's one more, but look at the time, 20 seconds.

04:25:30.640 --> 04:25:34.040
And it just leaves it's dead shot, the shield over the top.

04:25:34.040 --> 04:25:36.040
He's going for the knife. He's able to get the cover.

04:25:36.040 --> 04:25:38.640
Man, he's not able to get the other one blind.

04:25:38.640 --> 04:25:39.840
Key two.

04:25:39.840 --> 04:25:42.880
Once again, map series point.

04:25:42.880 --> 04:25:44.320
Oh, they forced it.

04:25:44.320 --> 04:25:46.520
They have forced Fanatic to fight.

04:25:46.520 --> 04:25:50.200
They've went for the traditional execute of VIP restaurants,

04:25:50.200 --> 04:25:53.400
stomping with that blitz.

04:25:53.400 --> 04:25:56.960
One, that engagement against Wizards.

04:25:56.960 --> 04:25:57.960
Just about, didn't they?

04:25:57.960 --> 04:26:02.600
It was a little bit of a will-day moment

04:26:02.600 --> 04:26:05.920
Where maybe Wizard could have got a headshot onto, but that DMR is difficult.

04:26:07.000 --> 04:26:09.160
I want to say, don't give that shot on the Citizen.

04:26:09.920 --> 04:26:11.000
Cracker of a shot.

04:26:13.520 --> 04:26:16.440
And then for G2, they just overwhelm, they have the two-man lead,

04:26:16.600 --> 04:26:17.760
and they just keep it moving.

04:26:19.080 --> 04:26:21.520
And again, for Fnatic, tried their best.

04:26:21.840 --> 04:26:24.680
It could have been to 2v3, this was the shot there, look at that, bang.

04:26:26.160 --> 04:26:29.440
At this moment as well, I thought maybe that shot could have done something.

04:26:30.640 --> 04:26:31.640
Just think of Ashniphy.

04:26:32.600 --> 04:26:36.500
Maybe have the lineup as well even if he was flashed if he was able to get the headshot

04:26:36.500 --> 04:26:40.500
Maybe grab that long to one, but the shield is the shield where we can use the flash

04:26:41.300 --> 04:26:46.960
That's what I can do G2 back on top one round again is all they need

04:26:48.160 --> 04:26:49.920
Look where they go

04:26:49.920 --> 04:26:51.920
into their fire place

04:26:52.700 --> 04:26:54.200
defense

04:26:54.200 --> 04:26:58.640
Ah fanatic first time they were here worked out for them your attack

04:26:58.640 --> 04:27:02.640
Strong, they went direct, they got bomb side control very early on.

04:27:02.640 --> 04:27:05.640
Then they tried it again, they doubled down.

04:27:05.640 --> 04:27:08.640
G2, they reacted well.

04:27:08.640 --> 04:27:12.640
At least stop that initial take.

04:27:14.640 --> 04:27:19.640
So, how do we go about round number 14?

04:27:22.640 --> 04:27:26.640
Who knows? Seems to be the general feel, but...

04:27:26.640 --> 04:27:31.320
Again, you can't help but think that attackers have that benefit, right?

04:27:31.320 --> 04:27:35.080
You can't help but sort of look towards how these rounds have shaken out.

04:27:35.080 --> 04:27:36.760
Activating trunks.

04:27:36.760 --> 04:27:39.360
And then participate, attack success.

04:27:42.360 --> 04:27:44.360
Honestly, see how things have gone.

04:27:45.360 --> 04:27:50.120
I'm not going to be fooled before we've had G2 on their defenses.

04:27:50.120 --> 04:27:52.360
They lost out of fireplace once.

04:27:52.360 --> 04:27:54.360
In the kitchen, it's a new bar.

04:27:54.360 --> 04:27:58.520
It's not found success all over the shop, but it's more than a mention that they take away instead here

04:28:01.080 --> 04:28:03.080
As it is

04:28:03.320 --> 04:28:06.200
I'll go back towards the mining room holes where things were

04:28:06.760 --> 04:28:12.880
Let's be honest the point is a bit flippy a bit strange the mid-round reinforcement almost brought out the position

04:28:12.880 --> 04:28:16.800
It came down to what was the two glasses to the dope getting 3k

04:28:16.800 --> 04:28:26.640
They're just sort of covering the drop, making sure that they can drop without being caught

04:28:26.640 --> 04:28:27.640
out.

04:28:27.640 --> 04:28:33.320
Swung on to immediately, the catch is not caught.

04:28:33.320 --> 04:28:37.240
C4 attempted up through the break, isn't quite able to drive on.

04:28:37.240 --> 04:28:42.760
The other player's slow roll, there's a way of handling three, removing it, they're just

04:28:42.760 --> 04:28:47.760
trying to keep themselves used to it out of danger and not be that first body.

04:28:47.760 --> 04:28:52.760
I really like the change up from Fnatic. It was one thing that G2 did really well.

04:28:52.760 --> 04:28:56.760
They were able to hold on in towards the Garshop and that's because they had a lot of traps up there.

04:28:56.760 --> 04:28:59.760
But the Smaxers were really well against the traps.

04:28:59.760 --> 04:29:04.760
Seeing Deepak was just able to clear away all of those gadgets and it was very easy for Fnatic.

04:29:04.760 --> 04:29:09.760
Now Gathered up top floor control to do like that.

04:29:09.760 --> 04:29:15.760
However, if we have any kills, and with only one minute remaining, this can get very, very messy.

04:29:15.760 --> 04:29:20.760
As long as Fnatic try to get himself into the bomb site and get that plant down, then well, this is risky.

04:29:20.760 --> 04:29:22.760
It's worked out for them, though!

04:29:22.760 --> 04:29:28.760
Right in towards the bomb site, the walls on the back end are both reinforced, so I don't know, I can't stop or assist anything at this point.

04:29:28.760 --> 04:29:33.760
You can see Ben just gone underneath, trying to cause some problems, but he doesn't have a C4 anymore instead.

04:29:33.760 --> 04:29:37.120
Instead, it's just part damage done all over the shop.

04:29:37.120 --> 04:29:39.000
Smith gets caught, they can't get the plant,

04:29:39.000 --> 04:29:41.320
but Shiko, can he even get away?

04:29:41.320 --> 04:29:43.640
He's being shot from all over.

04:29:43.640 --> 04:29:46.000
Ha ha, gets one, drifts round.

04:29:46.000 --> 04:29:48.360
Leaves just Benja, and I mean, they know he's there,

04:29:48.360 --> 04:29:49.840
so they're planting elsewhere.

04:29:51.560 --> 04:29:55.000
One versus three, post-plant situation here.

04:29:57.120 --> 04:29:59.760
Benja, trying to get his way back up,

04:29:59.760 --> 04:30:02.840
but well watched, well fought, well found,

04:30:02.840 --> 04:30:08.920
Well, well, well, here we are, our best of three, a whole season of play.

04:30:10.200 --> 04:30:15.880
And there is but one round to determine which of these two teams gets plain tickets,

04:30:16.720 --> 04:30:18.200
and which of them sits at home.

04:30:20.680 --> 04:30:23.120
This is it. We talked about marbles before.

04:30:23.360 --> 04:30:25.080
I think the marble bag is much bigger now.

04:30:26.680 --> 04:30:27.680
Been some donations.

04:30:29.000 --> 04:30:30.120
Never seen a bigger bag.

04:30:32.840 --> 04:30:41.640
Where are we going to go? I think that's the question. What site is Fanatic going to make their final stand on?

04:30:44.000 --> 04:30:47.360
Don't forget as well, whoever loses this round, their season's done.

04:30:48.120 --> 04:30:53.920
Also, so don't get to go on and try and challenge to be the number one team off their stage.

04:30:56.520 --> 04:31:01.760
We go to the kitchen, we double down Fanatic.

04:31:02.840 --> 04:31:06.320
They've played already here in the overtime. They're gonna go back to it

04:31:07.820 --> 04:31:10.340
My word, this is a big risk

04:31:10.900 --> 04:31:12.900
John John what's crazier?

04:31:13.960 --> 04:31:20.380
When these two teams were in overtime last time both teams played kitchen at least once

04:31:21.020 --> 04:31:23.320
Both of them lost them on their defense as well

04:31:24.760 --> 04:31:29.680
G2 when they won against fanatic about a week ago

04:31:29.680 --> 04:31:38.080
It was on this site when they're on the attack they flip to the balance and won the game.

04:31:38.080 --> 04:31:41.520
And here they have doubled down.

04:31:41.520 --> 04:31:47.480
Here they think they can find sanctuary, here they think they can find success, and here

04:31:47.480 --> 04:31:50.760
they may be in silence.

04:31:50.760 --> 04:31:52.280
Fanatic.

04:31:52.280 --> 04:31:56.160
It's an Intel drive.

04:31:56.160 --> 04:32:01.600
There's all of that game, what can change the fate of a hold on the kitchen.

04:32:01.600 --> 04:32:07.000
I ask you the sight that obviously, as I said, has had both of them with no success.

04:32:07.000 --> 04:32:11.000
The Echo, the Valkyrie, the lead outside, the push and the pressure and the way to stop

04:32:11.000 --> 04:32:15.440
the quick rush with the laser gates and the fire canisters.

04:32:15.440 --> 04:32:20.360
In the meantime, the lineup from G2, one that sort of screams vertical control and to be

04:32:20.360 --> 04:32:23.000
fair, you look towards previous success.

04:32:23.000 --> 04:32:28.040
as I said when they made this happen. G2's attacked last time in the same round.

04:32:29.480 --> 04:32:32.760
Oh, they had a very, very similar line up.

04:32:35.800 --> 04:32:40.200
The only change was to swap the Blitz for a Florez.

04:32:43.320 --> 04:32:48.120
Well, Fanatic, big change is no clash. That's missed on the Echo.

04:32:48.120 --> 04:32:52.620
And what was the issue? That for Anacabh the last time they were here, stomped on that

04:32:52.620 --> 04:32:58.120
withs, able to isolate those 1v1s in towards VIP and restaurant. With that effort they

04:32:58.120 --> 04:33:03.560
can stun him, they can counter him, so Smith's a lot of pressure on making that echo drone

04:33:03.560 --> 04:33:10.840
happen to give Wizard a more favourable engagement. Still no picks yet. All the vertical work

04:33:10.840 --> 04:33:17.940
has been done, this is where G2 will transition into their clear of VIP and restaurant. Exact

04:33:17.940 --> 04:33:22.820
Same scenario, you have Stumpen ready to walk down in towards the MP restaurant.

04:33:22.820 --> 04:33:27.140
It's all coming down to the Yokai. It has to be on the back of Smiths.

04:33:29.140 --> 04:33:31.300
Citizen is the first to take a shaker damage.

04:33:33.220 --> 04:33:38.820
As we enter the final minute of this game, he's able to find the first head. Shaker goes down.

04:33:40.340 --> 04:33:43.860
And they go for the drop, the pressure on the side, the desktop doubles down.

04:33:43.860 --> 04:33:48.500
There's one for Stomp it in the meantime of four versus two, but he's isolated inside the site.

04:33:48.500 --> 04:33:53.060
Doki gets one and two. The two versus two with no kit.

04:33:53.060 --> 04:33:56.500
In 40 seconds, the Tipper hour is trying to get out of there. They need some support.

04:33:56.500 --> 04:34:02.740
They need to find each other and Wisset finds the head of one. Doki, the man who has done so much,

04:34:02.740 --> 04:34:06.660
is stuck between two different angles and they are stuck at home.

04:34:06.660 --> 04:34:14.580
because Badanik against the odds, against the gambles on the outside chance have

04:34:14.580 --> 04:34:23.820
become that inside team of the how many games, series, days, months, years of

04:34:23.820 --> 04:34:30.020
wanting to get on towards the international stage. They find themselves

04:34:30.020 --> 04:34:42.800
confirmed and G2 unbeaten until it mattered the most. G2 fail to qualify that

04:34:42.800 --> 04:34:50.100
does not happen to this side. Fnatic have already praised them this stage it's the

04:34:50.100 --> 04:34:57.980
best that they've ever played and they've only qualified. My words, Fnatic

04:34:57.980 --> 04:34:59.980
All credit to the water series.

04:34:59.980 --> 04:35:01.980
We'll have to commend both teams.

04:35:01.980 --> 04:35:04.980
Yes, all the OG2s, the loser.

04:35:04.980 --> 04:35:09.980
But still, what a game that both of these two teams have put on for us.

04:35:09.980 --> 04:35:10.980
But dramatic.

04:35:10.980 --> 04:35:14.980
And just at the last, they entered.

04:35:14.980 --> 04:35:17.980
I mean, it's been such a series.

04:35:17.980 --> 04:35:23.980
It's just so continually competitive between these two teams.

04:35:23.980 --> 04:35:31.980
Really, there was no... nothing else they could give, and I am for you and I, if you throw it to our wonderful studio.

04:35:34.980 --> 04:35:38.980
Massive congratulations for Fnatic! They get a done!

04:35:38.980 --> 04:35:43.980
You see it on the player's emotions, how much it means to them.

04:35:43.980 --> 04:35:49.980
Valiant effort! For G2, they brought it really close, but Fnatic, they surprised everybody!

04:35:49.980 --> 04:35:51.980
They're going to EWC!

04:35:51.980 --> 04:35:56.980
What the hell was that game? What the hell was that game?

04:35:56.980 --> 04:35:59.980
Even the very final round, you're thinking Fernandez got it on loss.

04:35:59.980 --> 04:36:01.980
And Doki believes it's a two versus two.

04:36:02.980 --> 04:36:05.980
Oh, and that really just is playing on in status.

04:36:05.980 --> 04:36:08.980
What Leo said about it in the halftime, it's just flow state.

04:36:08.980 --> 04:36:10.980
G2 did really well, I thought to bring that game back.

04:36:10.980 --> 04:36:13.980
They started causing Fnatic a load of problems on their defense

04:36:13.980 --> 04:36:15.980
because Fnatic were running riot with it.

04:36:15.980 --> 04:36:17.980
Fnatic found a way to get it to overtime

04:36:17.980 --> 04:36:20.980
and then once you're in overtime, it literally comes down to who holds the nerf.

04:36:20.980 --> 04:36:24.980
I think it was a huge call. It

04:36:24.980 --> 04:36:27.980
was a monumentally huge call to

04:36:27.980 --> 04:36:29.980
go to bakery in round 15 after

04:36:29.980 --> 04:36:31.980
having lost it in round 13 to

04:36:31.980 --> 04:36:33.980
make the adaptation to play on

04:36:33.980 --> 04:36:34.980
the echo to play the different

04:36:34.980 --> 04:36:35.980
positions and then to get

04:36:35.980 --> 04:36:36.980
aggressive when they did.

04:36:36.980 --> 04:36:37.980
Citizen comes out in that round

04:36:37.980 --> 04:36:38.980
15 gets the opening kill.

04:36:38.980 --> 04:36:40.980
Deadshot doubles down and it

04:36:40.980 --> 04:36:43.980
gets them to either to see.

04:36:43.980 --> 04:36:45.980
I'm lost. I'm honestly lost the

04:36:45.980 --> 04:36:47.980
words because we've moved on

04:36:47.980 --> 04:36:48.980
from that a lot. Really, we

04:36:48.980 --> 04:36:49.980
have, um, especially across the

04:36:49.980 --> 04:36:54.220
They finished in the relegation places, despite being a partner role, because the only reason they're still here,

04:36:54.780 --> 04:37:01.060
and then they get it done, come back, revise Slice in 2026, stage one, and they find a way to get over the line.

04:37:01.260 --> 04:37:05.780
They win it in a best of three against the undefeated team in stage one.

04:37:05.980 --> 04:37:11.620
Well, just, just, wow, I'm still recovering from what I've just seen. It was, it was...

04:37:11.820 --> 04:37:14.660
Honestly, I haven't felt that way watching a Siege game in a long time.

04:37:14.660 --> 04:37:16.220
That was the best series I've watched in ages.

04:37:16.220 --> 04:37:24.620
Honestly, it's just it was an incredible game from both teams. I am baffled and I feel very sad for G2 because I feel like

04:37:24.620 --> 04:37:28.580
I feel like they make the right moves. I feel like they have the potential to be that winning team

04:37:28.580 --> 04:37:33.100
I think that the team that we saw today lose against Natty can be the same exact team that's going to win the major by the way

04:37:33.100 --> 04:37:34.980
I still they have that they have that quality

04:37:34.980 --> 04:37:37.500
I think that today we just saw two teams go to

04:37:37.940 --> 04:37:43.820
Exactly what I meant before when I said the flow state is when you reach a point where both teams play just that good that it's up to the

04:37:43.820 --> 04:37:48.380
the instinct, the intuition, the craziness of the adaptation, the call to go to Bakery

04:37:48.380 --> 04:37:54.020
on the last round, the crazy comeback, the opening kill on Shai Kou, and then even in

04:37:54.020 --> 04:37:57.020
that 2v2 to be able to 1v1 from Wizard by the way.

04:37:57.020 --> 04:38:00.540
The nerves on that player, I mean he was a rookie at that stage.

04:38:00.540 --> 04:38:03.780
The fact that it's the three most experienced player on the side of Nadek that carries

04:38:03.780 --> 04:38:04.780
them to the EWC.

04:38:04.780 --> 04:38:09.700
I mean there are so many things, so many ingredients in this matchup, so many storylines.

04:38:09.700 --> 04:38:12.380
What a way to go, what a way to go for Nadek.

04:38:12.380 --> 04:38:16.940
I want to skip back in. I want to skip back in. I'm going to go for a best of five. I want to see this again and again.

04:38:16.940 --> 04:38:21.420
The format, they've played against each other. Three of them have gone to overtime. New form went to 12 rounds.

04:38:22.060 --> 04:38:24.300
These two teams have been so close together this stage.

04:38:24.700 --> 04:38:29.100
It is incredible. I mean, what a series. It had everything, an absolute breakfast.

04:38:29.580 --> 04:38:34.140
Strategic, everything. All I can mention, guys, for having words to even describe it and talk about it.

04:38:34.140 --> 04:38:38.700
My heart is in my throat. What an incredibly close series.

04:38:38.700 --> 04:38:44.300
But it does see if that I move on they are still in that lower bracket as we said, but they won't even care about that

04:38:44.300 --> 04:38:47.620
EWC qualification is the most important thing for them

04:38:47.620 --> 04:38:52.520
And they managed to get that done from now on it is only about SI points

04:38:52.600 --> 04:38:57.980
Which you can then double up from 200 going to 420 that would be an extra given what they've already done

04:38:57.980 --> 04:39:00.920
I mean that's a huge point from both of these teams to be honest and because

04:39:01.100 --> 04:39:05.380
Fnatic are gonna want to do as best as they can in terms of getting that S-like qualification

04:39:05.380 --> 04:39:09.460
We've not seen Fnatic get a 6-in-1 session in a very, very long time as an organization,

04:39:09.460 --> 04:39:10.980
nor the core of this team.

04:39:10.980 --> 04:39:16.340
And then for G2, on the other side of it, yes, they did go to Salt Lake, but realistically,

04:39:16.340 --> 04:39:18.980
they're going to hinder themselves with SI points.

04:39:18.980 --> 04:39:21.620
They could have done better at Salt Lake in terms of those SI points,

04:39:21.620 --> 04:39:25.620
because a lot of pressure going into Stage 2 on that stage and the Major.

04:39:25.620 --> 04:39:28.020
They didn't have a deep run at Salt Lake City.

04:39:28.020 --> 04:39:30.020
This is going to put a lot of pressure on the back of G2.

04:39:30.020 --> 04:39:34.100
I wonder if the question we asked in the free game, which was Fnatic, feel no pressure,

04:39:34.100 --> 04:39:34.980
everything is bonus.

04:39:34.980 --> 04:39:38.420
No one expected them to make playoffs. No one expected them to take down G2.

04:39:38.420 --> 04:39:43.540
They didn't have the pressure on themselves. All they needed to do is have fun, play the game like they did in the stage.

04:39:43.540 --> 04:39:47.380
And this is why it's so important for them. I think the pressure really was on the side of G2.

04:39:47.380 --> 04:39:51.060
As many players as can say that I don't feel the pressure, I don't feel the nerves.

04:39:51.060 --> 04:39:54.260
I can tell you the nerves were there. I can tell you everyone was shaking in this game.

04:39:54.260 --> 04:39:59.780
I can tell you the name of G2 Esports. Not making it WC, the thought that was in their head during the game.

04:39:59.780 --> 04:40:02.180
I can already tell you this and that made a difference.

04:40:02.180 --> 04:40:05.060
And you can you could hear it in the team comes we're fortunate enough, you know

04:40:05.060 --> 04:40:07.620
Obviously that we can't put the public show in the game or anything like that

04:40:07.620 --> 04:40:12.620
We're fortunate enough to listen to the team comes and every lost round you could hear like quivers

04:40:12.620 --> 04:40:17.580
You could hear that here the voices shaking just a little bit more the kind of when they were trying to pump each other up

04:40:17.580 --> 04:40:22.460
It wasn't because they were doing it because they felt that they needed it because people want to enter the level one moment one moment

04:40:22.460 --> 04:40:27.020
That I heard ducky at when they're done that says guys at some point

04:40:27.020 --> 04:40:29.020
We need to fight guys and he starts yelling

04:40:29.020 --> 04:40:33.060
We're not gonna lose to these guys and I think Doki really was that voice comes

04:40:33.060 --> 04:40:38.860
He was that voice that they pushed them all the way back to the overtime. He's the voice that pushed them on match point

04:40:38.860 --> 04:40:43.180
I just feel so bad for him right now. He gave it all I think everyone on the side of G2

04:40:43.180 --> 04:40:45.580
It feels like and I want to ask the question, you know

04:40:45.580 --> 04:40:50.740
Have Sniatic been on the other side of the bracket? Maybe maybe G2 and Sniatic both would have made it to WC

04:40:50.860 --> 04:40:54.580
It would be deserving I guess with how close and exciting this matchup was

04:40:54.580 --> 04:40:58.720
the next round. We're gonna

04:40:58.720 --> 04:41:00.120
be able to get to the last

04:41:00.120 --> 04:41:01.720
possible spin it back to the

04:41:01.720 --> 04:41:02.720
positives because we have a big

04:41:02.720 --> 04:41:04.760
positive here and that is an

04:41:04.760 --> 04:41:06.760
interview with a citizen.

04:41:06.760 --> 04:41:08.860
Congratulations on making it to

04:41:08.860 --> 04:41:10.700
E W C. That was your last event

04:41:10.700 --> 04:41:12.000
last year and now you're going

04:41:12.000 --> 04:41:13.600
back. Tell us how you're feeling.

04:41:13.600 --> 04:41:14.400
Fínio electric. I think my

04:41:14.400 --> 04:41:15.800
voice is going to get up my

04:41:15.800 --> 04:41:18.700
tubular Harry Kane from last

04:41:18.700 --> 04:41:19.880
massive. Okay. I'm just so happy.

04:41:19.880 --> 04:41:21.440
I'm proud of everyone that

04:41:21.440 --> 04:41:22.840
will be putting new G to shaking

04:41:22.840 --> 04:41:23.840
their little boots. They were

04:41:23.840 --> 04:41:25.840
I mean, I'm not sure if I'm

04:41:25.840 --> 04:41:27.840
going to be able to do that.

04:41:27.840 --> 04:41:29.840
I mean, I've got to ask you a

04:41:29.840 --> 04:41:31.840
question. Who's call was it to

04:41:31.840 --> 04:41:33.840
go bakery again in round 15

04:41:33.840 --> 04:41:35.840
because the entire like EWC

04:41:35.840 --> 04:41:37.840
goes on on around that you've

04:41:37.840 --> 04:41:39.840
just just lost on the bakery.

04:41:39.840 --> 04:41:41.840
Who made that decision? What

04:41:41.840 --> 04:41:43.840
was the adaptations? How are

04:41:43.840 --> 04:41:45.840
the guys feeling in that round?

04:41:45.840 --> 04:41:47.840
I mean, the. Might the guys

04:41:47.840 --> 04:41:49.840
have 100% trust like I'm kind

04:41:49.840 --> 04:41:51.840
of calling along now, so

04:42:21.840 --> 04:42:25.280
Even when I was hearing you say about like don't keep screaming like come on

04:42:25.280 --> 04:42:28.080
We're not losing to these guys like you could tell they're just shit in their pants

04:42:28.080 --> 04:42:31.920
I we're just chilling having a good time winning rounds and they're just shaking you know

04:42:32.360 --> 04:42:38.120
How do you tell that that the enemy team is in this case like shaking and and shivering in their timbers like how do you notice that?

04:42:38.600 --> 04:42:43.680
They're doing 15 second excuse. I think that's a zero. What happened to G2 go kill like they just they're just scared

04:42:43.680 --> 04:42:45.360
I don't know just giving us three rounds

04:42:45.360 --> 04:42:51.420
I guess then first thing first thank you because I think you you revive my passion for the game a bit here

04:42:51.840 --> 04:42:55.540
I already had it, but I think this game was probably the best one I've seen in a really long time.

04:42:56.740 --> 04:43:01.040
I want to ask you the question, do you think that the chances that were made by Aethnatic,

04:43:01.340 --> 04:43:03.340
the fact that they brought you, they brought experienced players,

04:43:03.340 --> 04:43:05.640
and the fact that they finally added someone on your staff,

04:43:05.940 --> 04:43:10.640
made a difference today for you guys to finally have incredible results as a roster,

04:43:11.040 --> 04:43:15.740
despite two years and a half of missing big events for this organization?

04:43:15.740 --> 04:43:24.380
Yeah, I think like I think the biggest thing is really just like the mentality shift like I brought up last time when I was in the interviews

04:43:24.380 --> 04:43:26.600
Just like I think that game against Swiss is mine

04:43:26.600 --> 04:43:32.900
They'll say again really like helps us out to be honest like rockmen or was you could tell I think those like obviously with Smiths being in like a newbie

04:43:32.900 --> 04:43:37.480
There's a bit of like that you could tell we might be scared like even like wizard can be a bit nervous as well

04:43:37.480 --> 04:43:41.920
Begans, but then like I think after that game like something just snapped and then even against the G2 game

04:43:41.920 --> 04:43:46.800
We lost A7 on the last playday, we even had that mindset of just like whatever happens happens

04:43:46.800 --> 04:43:50.960
if we're not losing and then have the same mindset today and get building on it, building on it and yeah here we are

04:43:51.600 --> 04:43:54.320
And obviously I made a joke about rejuvenating my passion

04:43:54.320 --> 04:44:01.120
But I actually believe that that you guys are basically rejuvenating also a little bit of your careers for the older ones on this roster

04:44:01.120 --> 04:44:03.120
You know, I think you I think Deepak

04:44:03.200 --> 04:44:08.800
I think did shot all players that had a lot of success in service rosters and we're trying to find that new home

04:44:08.800 --> 04:44:10.800
or you would experience that success again?

04:44:10.800 --> 04:44:13.440
Do you feel like there is something that basically

04:44:13.440 --> 04:44:15.600
lined up with this roster that basically rejuvenated

04:44:15.600 --> 04:44:17.200
the passion from all of you guys?

04:44:18.200 --> 04:44:21.000
Yeah, I think what I've really said on the entire podcast

04:44:21.000 --> 04:44:23.000
distinct with Secret was just...

04:44:23.000 --> 04:44:25.200
I think the biggest Secret I took from my teams

04:44:25.200 --> 04:44:27.800
is just the environment and trying to keep it like the same.

04:44:27.800 --> 04:44:28.800
You know, just...

04:44:28.800 --> 04:44:31.000
There's no like trying to keep the doubts out, the fear out

04:44:31.000 --> 04:44:33.800
and just keep positive, lose around next round, positive, positive.

04:44:33.800 --> 04:44:37.400
And yeah, like, just because the environment was just terrible,

04:44:37.400 --> 04:44:42.040
to be honest. You're just playing with someone breathing down your neck all the time, wasn't

04:44:42.040 --> 04:44:47.280
good and I think me being in a team that I can finally let my voice out and speak and

04:44:47.280 --> 04:44:52.600
coordinate stuff for the team and it's helped us out a lot, I'd say. We've seen where that

04:44:52.600 --> 04:44:57.200
led you to as well with this new roster and you being able to use your voice to this one

04:44:57.200 --> 04:45:02.040
to get a massive congratulations. I'm making it to EWC and thank you so much for your time.

04:45:02.040 --> 04:45:04.040
Yeah, thank you guys.

04:45:04.040 --> 04:45:09.540
great speaking to him and we'll talk about the interview and all the things from this game as well in just a little bit.

04:45:09.540 --> 04:45:13.540
I think we need a bit of a breather, so we actually have something very exciting.

04:45:13.540 --> 04:45:18.540
We have, of course, the player reactions and sit back and listen because also the player comes.

04:46:04.040 --> 04:46:08.880
you've got players that I think have experienced multiple majors and have waited years to go back on stage.

04:46:08.880 --> 04:46:13.880
And then on one other hand, you've got a young player that just got his first year-one experience

04:46:13.880 --> 04:46:19.880
and for Wizard it was not long ago either. Two young players that will get to go on the first international stage.

04:46:19.880 --> 04:46:23.880
I think it's two different reactions and he speaks so much and by the way, don't care too much about the words.

04:46:23.880 --> 04:46:28.380
When you're within that team, when you're fighting so hard during one of these games, you will say this kind of stuff.

04:46:28.380 --> 04:46:32.880
It's just an output of all of your emotions. You don't really think it. I've been there before,

04:46:32.880 --> 04:46:39.200
but the most important thing is what a reaction from all these guys, how much it meant emotionally,

04:46:39.200 --> 04:46:43.520
I think is also what was the main driver for them to win in the most critical moments.

04:46:43.520 --> 04:46:47.440
I think so many of these guys have had a point to prove, maybe not the younger players, but like you

04:46:47.440 --> 04:46:52.320
say, from Dpex, point of view, the last major he played was probably the one he won. In all honestly,

04:46:52.320 --> 04:46:57.360
four years ago, you know, Deadshot's been fined in his way ever since the Wolves roster, and I

04:46:57.360 --> 04:47:01.280
think citizens at the Chiponi shoulder, he's had a point to prove for a long time. So like you said,

04:47:01.280 --> 04:47:21.280
you know, they they want to be back at the top table. This is the first step on the way of doing that. And you know, fair play to them because they went through. They got battered through a best of three. That was not an easy best of three. But either of those teams and whoever came out on top gets everything right and whoever ends up losing it was unfortunate because it all comes down to one round.

04:47:21.280 --> 04:47:28.280
I mean, it was a crazy series and that's the thing that we are, you know, three and a half hours in and we have yet another

04:47:28.280 --> 04:47:36.280
Best of three to go because we still have one more ticket for an email team to go to EWC before we do get to that final series, though

04:47:36.280 --> 04:47:41.280
We've already sat down earlier the stage with Jack and Leo and talk to him about seats and if you ask these guys anything seats related to the EWC

04:47:41.280 --> 04:47:46.080
to EWC. Before we do get to that final series, though, we've already sat down earlier at the

04:47:46.080 --> 04:47:50.640
stage with Jack and Leo and talked to him about seats. But if you ask these guys anything

04:47:50.640 --> 04:47:54.000
seat related, they will talk for hours and hours and hours and hours. And somehow,

04:47:54.000 --> 04:47:57.760
we condensed that down to just a few minutes so we could sit and listen to what they had to say.

04:48:02.400 --> 04:48:05.520
It's a big crepe cake. Crepes cake.

04:48:05.520 --> 04:48:06.840
I thought you said a crab cake.

04:48:06.840 --> 04:48:08.840
No, a crepes cake.

04:48:08.840 --> 04:48:10.840
Like a cake with a crab and a crab.

04:48:10.840 --> 04:48:12.840
And a crab and a crab and a crab and a crab.

04:48:12.840 --> 04:48:15.840
Patch, buff, patch, buff, patch.

04:48:15.840 --> 04:48:16.840
Nerf, nerf.

04:48:20.840 --> 04:48:22.840
I think the meta is clear, right?

04:48:22.840 --> 04:48:24.840
Attacks have never been as strong as today.

04:48:24.840 --> 04:48:28.240
We used to have a defender-sided game for a very long time.

04:48:28.240 --> 04:48:29.040
That's it.

04:48:29.040 --> 04:48:30.040
Attack has taken over it.

04:48:30.040 --> 04:48:31.040
The first group is shields.

04:48:31.040 --> 04:48:33.040
They're played almost all the time.

04:48:33.040 --> 04:48:35.040
We've just made a segment about their presence in the game.

04:48:35.040 --> 04:48:39.600
the game. The second one is the crowd control operators. The KAB has received a crazy buff.

04:48:39.600 --> 04:48:43.600
The last operator that was released was Solid Snake, incredible at crowd control.

04:48:43.600 --> 04:48:47.040
And just before that, a few seasons before, there was DMOS, who's also really good at

04:48:47.040 --> 04:48:52.000
roam clears. Now, if you take all of this into account, and you have two super strong operator

04:48:52.000 --> 04:48:57.760
pools that are pulling attacks in a way that they are now not overpowered, but the balance

04:48:57.760 --> 04:49:02.800
has completely shifted from difference to attack. Long gone are the days that you would put an entry

04:49:02.800 --> 04:49:07.360
fragger on Ash and then put him in front of a drone because it just wouldn't work in today's meta.

04:49:07.360 --> 04:49:11.280
So I think we're probably in the most flexible meta probably ever for the attackers.

04:49:15.280 --> 04:49:21.280
When we started this game in 2015, there was only you and NA and you quickly became the

04:49:21.280 --> 04:49:25.280
dominant region. Thanks to the G2 and Tentai here, it was amazing.

04:49:32.800 --> 04:49:34.800
We'll cover the doorway as it starts to fuse.

04:49:34.800 --> 04:49:35.800
Peggy goes for one on the young.

04:49:35.800 --> 04:49:36.800
Can he go the second?

04:49:36.800 --> 04:49:37.800
They're off and down.

04:49:37.800 --> 04:49:39.800
That's the best team in the world.

04:49:39.800 --> 04:49:42.800
Then there was the Brazil era, where they dominated everything.

04:49:42.800 --> 04:49:44.800
In between, there was a little bit of NA success.

04:49:44.800 --> 04:49:51.800
And then we're arriving to normal day siege, where I think the hierarchy has not been clearly defined.

04:49:51.800 --> 04:49:54.800
I think that Brazil has lost a little bit of its glory.

04:49:54.800 --> 04:49:59.800
NA has taken over, and EML in all of that hasn't won a title in so many years.

04:49:59.800 --> 04:50:04.360
So we're looking at three, three and a half years since we've won an S-eximitation or a major.

04:50:04.360 --> 04:50:08.360
I think one of the reasons for that is actually that our best talent and our best players have

04:50:08.360 --> 04:50:12.440
been exported. If you look on the playing side, we've currently got Savage, who was probably the

04:50:12.440 --> 04:50:17.000
best European ideal that's been created in the last two or three years. He's now playing in North

04:50:17.000 --> 04:50:22.840
America. One of the best and our hottest fraggers that we had, Spoy, gone. He went over to North

04:50:22.840 --> 04:50:28.680
America in early 2023 and never really looked back. And I think we will start seeing improvement on

04:50:28.680 --> 04:50:33.320
that because of the pipeline that we're now generating. We've got a strong tier 2 ecosystem,

04:50:33.320 --> 04:50:37.160
we've got Combine, we've got Southbridge, we've got Rumble, and a whole load of tournaments

04:50:37.160 --> 04:50:42.200
that support those tournaments instead of the full tier 2 circuit. Also that we had for the longest

04:50:42.200 --> 04:50:48.200
of times, having one team that dominated everyone, VDS, now Falcons, and that eliminated a lot of EU

04:50:48.200 --> 04:50:54.120
teams at the majors and LSIs. How many times have Falcons eliminated Secret for example in 2024?

04:50:54.120 --> 04:50:59.620
And yet despite all of this, they always reached their grand finals but never won a title.

04:50:59.620 --> 04:51:04.920
And so in my opinion, EU has been way more consistent in the last three years than NA.

04:51:04.920 --> 04:51:08.820
But NA, they know how to come alive and have the momentum to win an event.

04:51:08.820 --> 04:51:09.620
We were good.

04:51:09.620 --> 04:51:13.620
We were absolutely good when Secret lost that game.

04:51:13.620 --> 04:51:18.620
Because ultimately, yes, we are objective and ultimately we want the best team to win and we want the best team to win.

04:51:18.620 --> 04:51:21.620
But at the same time, when you're in the context of being in the country,

04:51:21.620 --> 04:51:27.620
You've got a countryman there in Mowgli, up in front of the fans home crowd,

04:51:27.620 --> 04:51:29.420
and they're in the sixth international Grand Final.

04:51:29.420 --> 04:51:32.420
For a team that just a year ago wouldn't really have expected that,

04:51:32.420 --> 04:51:34.420
this story was absolutely incredible.

04:51:34.420 --> 04:51:37.820
So when Secret didn't look losing, I passed it, it was absolutely good.

04:51:37.820 --> 04:51:41.420
I think the main thing for you to seem to lift the hammer at SI

04:51:41.420 --> 04:51:46.420
is overcome the mental block that comes with winning a Grand Final.

04:51:46.420 --> 04:51:50.620
I think it's a question of mental fortitude to be able to live up to the expectation

04:51:50.620 --> 04:51:52.700
on game day for the Grand Finals day.

04:51:52.700 --> 04:51:55.980
And if you look at Brazil, you look at the guys from Faze,

04:51:55.980 --> 04:51:58.300
they are cool, they're calm, they're collected.

04:51:58.300 --> 04:52:00.220
They didn't even register, it was infinite over time.

04:52:00.220 --> 04:52:02.060
Because they didn't register, it was a Grand Final.

04:52:02.060 --> 04:52:04.820
Because in the head, getting the Grand Final is day business,

04:52:04.820 --> 04:52:06.060
like day-to-day business.

04:52:06.060 --> 04:52:08.300
4&A, it's not that it's any game day,

04:52:08.300 --> 04:52:11.260
it's that it's the game where we're gonna let everything,

04:52:11.260 --> 04:52:12.460
all energy, we're gonna fight,

04:52:12.460 --> 04:52:15.140
they have the tooth and nail, they're gonna trash full queue,

04:52:15.140 --> 04:52:16.140
they're gonna have this stuff.

04:52:16.140 --> 04:52:18.980
4EU, we're still a little bit quiet there.

04:52:18.980 --> 04:52:21.540
Either we need to not care too much about the fact that he's a Grand Final,

04:52:21.540 --> 04:52:23.540
or just play like we play all the time,

04:52:23.540 --> 04:52:27.140
either we need to be matching the level of energy that NA has.

04:52:27.140 --> 04:52:29.620
I think in general we are lacking the longevity in the roster

04:52:29.620 --> 04:52:32.940
that helps you overcome that burden of,

04:52:32.940 --> 04:52:34.220
oh my god, it's Grand Finals.

04:52:34.220 --> 04:52:35.780
And I think also on top of that,

04:52:35.780 --> 04:52:39.580
the last four chances with you has had a Grand Final in a major on the side

04:52:39.580 --> 04:52:41.940
was on the back of a team that was feeling that mental pressure

04:52:41.940 --> 04:52:44.460
of not another Grand Finals that we're going to lose.

04:52:44.460 --> 04:52:47.060
What keeps me in this game is the strategic of that.

04:52:47.060 --> 04:52:49.260
I think of the game. There is not a game like it.

04:52:49.260 --> 04:52:51.860
We say it very often, but it's the first-person shooter,

04:52:51.860 --> 04:52:54.860
but with so much depth, decision-making, utility,

04:52:54.860 --> 04:52:57.620
the maps, the environment, how you can disrupt it,

04:52:57.620 --> 04:52:58.460
free-shape it even.

04:52:58.460 --> 04:53:00.580
Do you remember what I told you in the couch yesterday

04:53:00.580 --> 04:53:02.140
when we were watching EML?

04:53:02.140 --> 04:53:03.420
This game is so good.

04:53:03.420 --> 04:53:04.220
It's so good.

04:53:04.220 --> 04:53:05.060
You remember?

04:53:05.060 --> 04:53:07.540
I actually told you that yesterday.

04:53:07.540 --> 04:53:08.980
I'm like 10 years online,

04:53:08.980 --> 04:53:10.940
and it looks very different from what it did 10 years ago.

04:53:10.940 --> 04:53:13.740
Even two years ago, the game is constantly evolving

04:53:13.740 --> 04:53:14.940
and constantly changing,

04:53:14.940 --> 04:53:16.780
and what that means is it's constantly challenging you

04:53:16.780 --> 04:53:19.580
to think about it new ways, how can we win around?

04:53:19.580 --> 04:53:21.260
How can we view around?

04:53:21.260 --> 04:53:22.540
How can we explain around?

04:53:22.540 --> 04:53:25.140
It's constantly changing and challenging you.

04:53:25.140 --> 04:53:27.500
And I think that's what sets it apart in terms of the game.

04:53:27.500 --> 04:53:30.180
And that's ultimately what keeps us all coming back to it.

04:53:32.060 --> 04:53:34.620
Great joy for Jack and Leo that they get to sit here

04:53:34.620 --> 04:53:37.220
and yet talk again about more suits

04:53:37.220 --> 04:53:39.300
with our second Vesta 3 of the day.

04:53:39.300 --> 04:53:41.700
We have GK and Rebels going up against each other

04:53:41.700 --> 04:53:45.580
for the final swaps at EWC for the EML teams.

04:53:45.580 --> 04:53:51.380
Now, talk about these two, especially GK, they find themselves in this matchup having lost that game yesterday,

04:53:51.380 --> 04:53:54.780
but they did come back from many, many met points against them.

04:53:54.780 --> 04:53:58.280
And that shows great resilience, it shows how much experience there is on this one.

04:53:58.280 --> 04:54:01.380
Yeah, I don't know if I'm ready for another game, but I almost stand up, to be honest.

04:54:01.380 --> 04:54:02.580
My heart rate's not recovered.

04:54:02.580 --> 04:54:06.280
But yeah, GK, we've seen them attend a lot of international events,

04:54:06.280 --> 04:54:10.180
and I think the one benefit that they'll have from this is that a lot of these guys have been here,

04:54:10.180 --> 04:54:14.280
done it before, they've run low bracket, they've been in the matches to qualify for them.

04:54:14.280 --> 04:54:16.080
Yes, yesterday didn't go too well.

04:54:16.080 --> 04:54:19.560
I think they got found a little bit lacking on a strategic side in map 3.

04:54:19.560 --> 04:54:23.240
But they've got guys, as the guys on your screen that you can see,

04:54:23.240 --> 04:54:25.520
they've got DOKA that have been to a lot of events.

04:54:25.520 --> 04:54:28.000
Even Robbie at this point has been to a lot of events.

04:54:28.000 --> 04:54:30.200
So they've got the experience heading into this bracket,

04:54:30.200 --> 04:54:31.520
and that's going to be huge fun.

04:54:31.520 --> 04:54:35.600
Yeah, despite, I would say, maybe the shallow depth of our strategy capabilities,

04:54:35.600 --> 04:54:38.480
I think a little bit crushing, a little bit on the lurking aspect.

04:54:38.480 --> 04:54:41.480
I think that the talent on the roster and the experience on the roster

04:54:41.480 --> 04:54:44.400
has proved all of the grits that this team has,

04:54:44.400 --> 04:54:46.320
and we've seen it yesterday in that match,

04:54:46.320 --> 04:54:47.320
they never gave up.

04:54:47.320 --> 04:54:48.760
Even when they were done multiple match points,

04:54:48.760 --> 04:54:50.320
they saved multiple match points.

04:54:50.320 --> 04:54:52.800
I think that Roster basically carries

04:54:52.800 --> 04:54:54.600
a similar momentum than Sniatic,

04:54:54.600 --> 04:54:57.320
in that sense that no one expects them to make EWC,

04:54:57.320 --> 04:54:59.000
and they want to prove everyone wrong.

04:54:59.000 --> 04:55:00.840
That's the contrary in regards to experience

04:55:00.840 --> 04:55:03.280
for their opponents today, a lot less S tier offense.

04:55:03.280 --> 04:55:05.240
In fact, Astna has only two events,

04:55:05.240 --> 04:55:06.600
more back-to-back EWCs.

04:55:06.600 --> 04:55:09.280
Yeah, and if you look at the 27 S tier events

04:55:09.280 --> 04:55:11.160
on the set of Rumble,

04:55:11.160 --> 04:55:22.520
It's not really 27 by the way, if you just look at it, it's mostly LMs on this side, 16, and then three players that are entire rookies, 0 as tier titles, for 3 out of 5.

04:55:22.520 --> 04:55:30.880
And obviously it's a very different roster, we have three rookies starting in tier 1 with Rebels, they are not expecting to make WC, but what's Nadik expected to make WC? No.

04:55:30.880 --> 04:55:39.680
And so that hunger that's fire will definitely be in their hands, I think very different expectations for the roster, but both of them were kind of unexpected.

04:55:39.680 --> 04:55:46.880
And then when we look at the step four for this team here as well, you know, maybe that kind of an experience shows as well in the biggest delta in regards to the attack and defense.

04:55:46.880 --> 04:56:02.280
Exactly, yeah. Rebels are the biggest defense crutches inside of the league. Now, what you're going to see on the left-hand side of your screen is basically, you don't need to worry about the numbers too much, but the bigger the bar hat to the left side is the more defense crutch a team is, and the bigger the bar to the right side is the more attack crutch a team is.

04:56:02.280 --> 04:56:06.280
So Falcons bottom of your screen, attack a favour by nearly 10% in terms of their Delta.

04:56:06.280 --> 04:56:08.780
Rebels is nearly a 30% Delta.

04:56:08.780 --> 04:56:12.980
Between their attack win rate of 35% and their defense win rate of 64%.

04:56:12.980 --> 04:56:17.280
Now, those stats and those underlying numbers signify that you can get away with that in the best of one.

04:56:17.280 --> 04:56:20.080
You can find a way in the best of one to get to over time to get a victory.

04:56:20.080 --> 04:56:22.180
Across the best of three, that could come back to her.

04:56:22.180 --> 04:56:24.580
Yes, that's where I'm looking for improvements to be made today.

04:56:24.580 --> 04:56:27.280
And another improvement we're looking at is a kickoff.

04:56:27.280 --> 04:56:31.780
Kickoff, they made it to the playoff and then it's rich PO3, completely disappeared.

04:56:31.780 --> 04:56:34.660
Was it because they're so weak in attack compared to the defense?

04:56:34.660 --> 04:56:37.300
Was it because of nerves? Was it because of a lack of a map pool?

04:56:37.300 --> 04:56:40.020
Many different reasons. They've had months to work on it.

04:56:40.020 --> 04:56:42.180
We need to see the results today in the VO3.

04:56:42.180 --> 04:56:44.660
Guys, since it worked so well for Fnatic,

04:56:44.660 --> 04:56:46.900
how about we kindly explain to Rebels as well

04:56:46.900 --> 04:56:49.380
how to take a team down that drop to the lower bracket?

04:56:49.380 --> 04:56:52.660
Yeah, and the main thing to me is if you look at the playstyle on the side of Gike,

04:56:52.660 --> 04:56:55.380
it's a lot of lurking around. It's a lot of street takes.

04:56:55.380 --> 04:56:57.300
What's the main way to take them down?

04:56:57.300 --> 04:57:01.620
It's basically trying to force them to problems of poor positions.

04:57:01.620 --> 04:57:08.620
Because look at this, this was obviously Wall and Main stairs, we're looking now at them trying to clear out this player running inside a fireplace.

04:57:08.620 --> 04:57:12.220
We're looking at them trying to clear out the player playing in suicide here on Library.

04:57:12.220 --> 04:57:18.320
How many times have we seen Geekay fail to problem solve some basic setups, some complex setups with the denarii ones,

04:57:18.320 --> 04:57:21.520
but basically utility is the main key for victory against Geekay.

04:57:21.520 --> 04:57:24.220
Yeah, absolutely. What did Nekor say in the interview yesterday?

04:57:24.220 --> 04:57:26.320
They are all luck, luck, luck.

04:57:26.320 --> 04:57:29.920
And actually, Rebels play in stat, they can really, really put his PK.

04:57:29.920 --> 04:57:33.720
Because GK didn't seem to have a strategy to get sort of maybe unified behind a shield,

04:57:33.720 --> 04:57:35.360
playing utility, maybe fast pans.

04:57:35.360 --> 04:57:38.400
It was all just about initiating lags across the map everywhere.

04:57:38.400 --> 04:57:40.920
If Rebels don't give them that, that could be their key to victory.

04:57:40.920 --> 04:57:43.520
There is a consistent issue with GK where they're going to spread around the map,

04:57:43.520 --> 04:57:45.360
and when they're going to face a problem, they're going to be like,

04:57:45.360 --> 04:57:46.560
oh, I need you to clear this.

04:57:46.560 --> 04:57:48.400
Oh, I need you to basically burn this.

04:57:48.400 --> 04:57:49.800
And then you can get this shield.

04:57:49.800 --> 04:57:53.200
But the time for people to rotate and actually do this together takes ages.

04:57:53.200 --> 04:57:54.680
And most of the time, in these rounds,

04:57:54.680 --> 04:57:56.880
they've lost half of their own train to do something so basic.

04:57:56.880 --> 04:58:00.280
So if you layer it and you fall in back, you'll eventually just win on time, basically.

04:58:01.080 --> 04:58:03.680
Speaking as well of, you know, the importance for these players,

04:58:03.680 --> 04:58:05.880
you know, we talked about GK having that kind of, you know,

04:58:05.880 --> 04:58:08.080
the head of these sports behind him, like, oh, hey, you know,

04:58:08.080 --> 04:58:09.360
we expect you to be making it.

04:58:09.360 --> 04:58:12.200
We've already countered you into our wussles and teams making it.

04:58:12.200 --> 04:58:15.080
But also for the other side, Rebels, a lot of French players,

04:58:15.160 --> 04:58:19.480
you know, the potential of playing in the country, in front of a crowd,

04:58:19.480 --> 04:58:21.480
maybe even as well as for Dave Procrest in the tournament.

04:58:21.480 --> 04:58:23.680
That's two big things that are back in the Easter teams right now.

04:58:23.680 --> 04:58:29.280
LMS has not seen a French crowd since leaving BDS, so it's a massive one for them, you know.

04:58:29.280 --> 04:58:33.520
It's going back to an Aster event in front of a home crowd where he missed a side in Paris.

04:58:33.520 --> 04:58:37.360
And for all these young guys, it's a dream come true. They've watched players like Lee Kefak,

04:58:37.360 --> 04:58:43.120
first like Brite, attend huge events in front of huge French crowds. They've dreamt of this moment

04:58:43.120 --> 04:58:47.280
and in their first season they could maybe do it emotionally. That's got to feel important.

04:58:47.280 --> 04:58:49.680
And of course we did just have the Sixth and Seventh Session in Paris as well, you know.

04:58:49.680 --> 04:58:52.240
They will have sat there, they will have watched it, we had Neco on the interview yesterday,

04:58:52.240 --> 04:58:54.240
in the game. So I think

04:58:54.240 --> 04:58:55.240
it's a good thing that we

04:58:55.240 --> 04:58:57.240
have this team and the

04:58:57.240 --> 04:58:58.240
team. They say that he was

04:58:58.240 --> 04:58:59.240
there, and he really wanted to

04:58:59.240 --> 04:59:00.240
be at an event in Paris in

04:59:00.240 --> 04:59:01.240
France, and so for a lot of

04:59:01.240 --> 04:59:02.240
the guys that you see on the

04:59:02.240 --> 04:59:03.240
screen, it really is a dream

04:59:03.240 --> 04:59:04.240
come true because you don't

04:59:04.240 --> 04:59:05.240
know when the next one was

04:59:05.240 --> 04:59:07.240
event is going to be there on

04:59:07.240 --> 04:59:08.240
such a big scale, so I think

04:59:08.240 --> 04:59:09.240
there's a lot that goes into

04:59:09.240 --> 04:59:10.240
this game. There's

04:59:10.240 --> 04:59:11.240
organizational size. There's

04:59:11.240 --> 04:59:12.240
team size. There's

04:59:12.240 --> 04:59:13.240
experiences led there so

04:59:13.240 --> 04:59:14.240
much that goes into it, and

04:59:14.240 --> 04:59:15.240
as we've just seen in the

04:59:15.240 --> 04:59:16.240
very final game that was just

04:59:16.240 --> 04:59:17.240
seen beforehand, it's about

04:59:17.240 --> 04:59:18.240
who handles the nerves and

04:59:18.240 --> 04:59:19.240
the pressure on the day. I

04:59:19.240 --> 04:59:20.240
just wanted to speak about

04:59:20.240 --> 04:59:21.240
the key little bit and two

04:59:21.240 --> 04:59:23.220
And now on the other side, it is Yoga.

04:59:23.220 --> 04:59:25.960
It's two players that have sacrificed everything.

04:59:25.960 --> 04:59:30.440
They have crossed an ocean, they've went through visas, they've went through relocation, they

04:59:30.440 --> 04:59:34.840
have abandoned their family, their friends, their close ones, to go live from their passion.

04:59:34.840 --> 04:59:35.840
I've been there before.

04:59:35.840 --> 04:59:37.160
I've done it twice, two years.

04:59:37.160 --> 04:59:40.640
I can tell you these sacrifices, they can lead you to retirement if you don't take the

04:59:40.640 --> 04:59:41.800
results that you want.

04:59:41.800 --> 04:59:45.360
I retired because of this, because I sacrificed too much and I didn't get from the game what

04:59:45.360 --> 04:59:46.360
I wanted.

04:59:46.360 --> 04:59:50.800
Ask Yoga what they expect from an adventure in Europe is to make those cistern events.

04:59:50.800 --> 04:59:52.640
I want to be free away from it.

04:59:52.640 --> 04:59:55.200
For their close ones, for the parents that didn't see them,

04:59:55.200 --> 04:59:58.440
it must feel truly special to see their kid actually leave

04:59:58.440 --> 05:00:00.360
their dream and go back on stage.

05:00:00.360 --> 05:00:02.400
Prove to everyone your close ones.

05:00:02.400 --> 05:00:04.960
Prove to everyone in your family that you made the right move,

05:00:04.960 --> 05:00:07.760
that you made the move to go to Europe to leave your passion,

05:00:07.760 --> 05:00:09.400
and to actually leave up to the expectation

05:00:09.400 --> 05:00:10.720
that you put on yourself.

05:00:10.720 --> 05:00:12.240
And then it's just that best of three

05:00:12.240 --> 05:00:15.960
that separates them from making it a two in international events.

05:00:15.960 --> 05:00:17.480
I don't know what maps we're going to.

05:00:17.480 --> 05:00:19.760
Four said that best of three.

05:00:19.760 --> 05:00:22.560
And as it turns out, we'll be starting on Shelly as we start our little eclipse.

05:00:22.560 --> 05:00:24.960
Yeah, exactly. So we're going to be starting on Shelly and Wada.

05:00:24.960 --> 05:00:26.840
These are the two maps quickly that I'm going to focus on,

05:00:26.840 --> 05:00:29.080
because actually it's all about Rebels and their defense, win rate,

05:00:29.080 --> 05:00:30.840
and the fact that attacks, struggles.

05:00:30.840 --> 05:00:32.960
Both of those maps are pretty easy to attack.

05:00:32.960 --> 05:00:35.240
So I think for them, the fact they've got two out of three maps

05:00:35.240 --> 05:00:37.320
that are good attacking maps is pretty good.

05:00:37.320 --> 05:00:38.560
Yeah, and then there is Kaffee.

05:00:38.560 --> 05:00:41.000
But Kaffee is a question mark in the map pool of Rebels,

05:00:41.000 --> 05:00:43.240
because Kaffee is the first time that we saw Rebels

05:00:43.240 --> 05:00:46.040
capable of attacking, and it was against Falcons.

05:00:46.040 --> 05:00:48.360
The bit Falcons on the map, incredible.

05:00:48.360 --> 05:00:49.860
Oh, the Scopos clutch.

05:00:49.860 --> 05:00:53.260
The Scopos clutch, the famous one from Mato, was on that game.

05:00:53.260 --> 05:00:54.580
It feels like ages ago.

05:00:54.580 --> 05:00:55.940
It was maybe a couple of days ago,

05:00:55.940 --> 05:00:58.500
but then when you watch Magic G2, you age a little bit.

05:00:58.500 --> 05:01:00.780
And I just want to show a little bit of thing.

05:01:00.780 --> 05:01:02.740
If you look into this matchup on Kafe,

05:01:02.740 --> 05:01:04.620
you might think that Geekin have never showed it.

05:01:04.620 --> 05:01:06.700
And indeed, at the Tiarone level, they've never showed it.

05:01:06.700 --> 05:01:08.780
But if you look and crunch the numbers, Jack,

05:01:08.780 --> 05:01:12.700
Geekin have actually showed Kafe recently at Belgium Masters.

05:01:12.700 --> 05:01:15.820
They took down VP on it, and they took down the team that

05:01:15.820 --> 05:01:17.660
just bid G2 to make it WC.

05:01:17.660 --> 05:01:20.460
They took down Fnatic on Kaffee as well during VGM Masters.

05:01:20.460 --> 05:01:23.460
In this event, most of the time, you don't show too many strategies.

05:01:23.460 --> 05:01:27.900
However, you show your core fundamentals, and if Geeky, based on their defaults,

05:01:27.900 --> 05:01:31.580
on a ranked playstyle, can take down both VP and Fnatic on that map,

05:01:31.580 --> 05:01:34.860
I can tell you that it might be a trap on the side of Rebels to go on Kaffee.

05:01:34.860 --> 05:01:36.740
And there's matchday reps in the bank as well.

05:01:36.740 --> 05:01:38.820
You know, it's a little bit of confidence, it's a little bit of feeling.

05:01:38.820 --> 05:01:41.420
You beat two good Kaffee teams, and VP are a good Kaffee team,

05:01:41.420 --> 05:01:44.380
and Fnatic have been a good Kaffee team for the last couple of years.

05:01:44.380 --> 05:01:45.660
You will feel a good confidence,

05:01:45.660 --> 05:01:47.860
so your reference will play anybody on that map.

05:01:47.860 --> 05:01:51.980
And eventually you land on border, border a map that is all about firepower,

05:01:51.980 --> 05:01:54.820
all about lurking, all about momentum.

05:01:54.820 --> 05:01:58.260
And if you look at the two teams and their wing conditions throughout the stage,

05:01:58.260 --> 05:02:01.940
Rebels, it's on the back of incredible momentum, huge multiples,

05:02:01.940 --> 05:02:06.740
on the back of Marto clutching, on the back of Lingo and Feno going crazy with multiples.

05:02:06.740 --> 05:02:11.340
If you look on the other side, Gike, it's on the back of their main players going for multiples as well.

05:02:11.340 --> 05:02:15.340
Chaos, lurking, fry power, all of these.

05:02:15.340 --> 05:02:19.180
The two playstyles, if they clash on one map and it's border, the decider would go crazy.

05:02:19.180 --> 05:02:23.580
So what I'm surmising from this ultimately is we've got both of these teams on three maps

05:02:23.580 --> 05:02:27.180
where they really, really feel comfortable, all three of them, in theory.

05:02:27.180 --> 05:02:31.740
If the GK theory holds true that actually they play the Belgium Masters and they're very comfortable

05:02:31.740 --> 05:02:35.020
in cafes, because we know they're comfortable in Shelly, I think we'll be called their best map

05:02:35.020 --> 05:02:39.420
at one point. We saw them go crazy with the castle and all those little strats and setups going on

05:02:39.420 --> 05:02:43.260
yesterday as well. And then the final map of border where it probably just played to both of the

05:02:43.260 --> 05:02:46.020
the team's strengths. And I think sometimes you'll see this in the best of three where

05:02:46.020 --> 05:02:49.020
teams target their opponent's weak maps. And sometimes she ain't the best of three

05:02:49.020 --> 05:02:52.300
where teams target their own strong maps. And I think we've been kind of fortunate here

05:02:52.300 --> 05:02:56.300
that all three maps are going on, both of these teams are relatively strong on all three

05:02:56.300 --> 05:02:57.300
of them.

05:02:57.300 --> 05:03:00.300
I'm glad we had this, like, in-depth discussion on the maps and these two teams. We're still

05:03:00.300 --> 05:03:04.620
waiting on the final players to join the lobby and get the match going. But we can already

05:03:04.620 --> 05:03:10.020
talk to our castles because we're so appreciative. We're joined by Ace and Des for today's game.

05:03:10.020 --> 05:03:13.820
I know guys, we always like to

05:03:13.820 --> 05:03:15.620
joke that you always get the 45

05:03:15.620 --> 05:03:17.220
round us, but we just had a

05:03:17.220 --> 05:03:18.620
serious like that. Do you think

05:03:18.620 --> 05:03:19.820
there is yet another one in the

05:03:19.820 --> 05:03:21.420
bank for us? I feel like I've

05:03:21.420 --> 05:03:22.820
cast 45 rounds. You know, I see

05:03:22.820 --> 05:03:23.820
you and I sat there watching

05:03:23.820 --> 05:03:25.420
just like screaming in room. I

05:03:25.420 --> 05:03:26.620
couldn't believe it came down to

05:03:26.620 --> 05:03:27.620
that. We've already had what we

05:03:27.620 --> 05:03:29.620
had Argentina, Egypt's earlier.

05:03:29.620 --> 05:03:31.620
We have fanatic in G2. The best

05:03:31.620 --> 05:03:32.820
thing is coming threes. So

05:03:32.820 --> 05:03:34.220
surely this has got to be a

05:03:34.220 --> 05:03:35.820
banger as well, Tim. Right? Do

05:03:35.820 --> 05:03:37.620
think is how do you follow that?

05:03:37.620 --> 05:03:39.420
How do you follow that G2

05:03:39.420 --> 05:03:41.420
you know, it's not like you

05:03:41.420 --> 05:03:43.420
have to go back to the game

05:03:43.420 --> 05:03:45.420
and then rebels will as well,

05:03:45.420 --> 05:03:47.420
but, um, you know, yeah, I hope

05:03:47.420 --> 05:03:49.420
we get three maps out of it. I

05:03:49.420 --> 05:03:51.420
hope we get another cracker, but

05:03:51.420 --> 05:03:53.420
it's going to be tough. Yeah,

05:03:53.420 --> 05:03:55.420
it is. It is. I hope we get a

05:03:55.420 --> 05:03:56.420
good serious as well, but we

05:03:56.420 --> 05:03:57.420
also have good news because the

05:03:57.420 --> 05:03:59.420
map is ready, and it's all

05:03:59.420 --> 05:04:01.420
yours. Thank you very much. And

05:04:01.420 --> 05:04:03.420
those are like words to my ears.

05:04:03.420 --> 05:04:05.420
I like music knowing it's all

05:04:05.420 --> 05:04:07.420
asked him a big best of three

05:04:07.420 --> 05:04:09.420
the next round. I think that

05:04:09.420 --> 05:04:11.420
the next round is going to be

05:04:11.420 --> 05:04:12.420
a very, very exciting. I think

05:04:12.420 --> 05:04:13.420
that the rebels can respond to

05:04:13.420 --> 05:04:15.420
that and how many S tier events

05:04:15.420 --> 05:04:16.420
sit under a lens in particular.

05:04:16.420 --> 05:04:17.420
I feel this one's really hard

05:04:17.420 --> 05:04:18.420
to pull yesterday. I would have

05:04:18.420 --> 05:04:19.420
said, you can't but the more

05:04:19.420 --> 05:04:20.420
thought about it. The more I

05:04:20.420 --> 05:04:21.420
honestly can't. But this is I

05:04:21.420 --> 05:04:25.420
don't know who's going to win

05:04:25.420 --> 05:04:27.420
this one. For me. For me at

05:04:27.420 --> 05:04:29.420
me that we did this walk on the

05:04:29.420 --> 05:04:30.420
desk about the experience

05:04:30.420 --> 05:04:32.420
within rebels and obviously

05:04:32.420 --> 05:04:34.420
a lens has got this wealth of

05:04:34.420 --> 05:04:36.420
experience after a little bit

05:04:36.420 --> 05:04:41.380
I think there's maybe a little bit, you know, a few question marks there.

05:04:41.380 --> 05:04:45.620
They've not been through that process before some of them and are they going to step up?

05:04:45.620 --> 05:04:50.260
I'm hoping they do. I'm hoping that they're the other best for us and that they don't get kind of

05:04:50.260 --> 05:04:55.780
overwhelmed by the occasion. Let's be honest, we've just seen G2, I think, in some forms there,

05:04:55.780 --> 05:05:00.740
be overwhelmed a little bit by what was in front of them and, you know, the thoughts of failure

05:05:00.740 --> 05:05:05.740
you're going through their minds

05:05:05.740 --> 05:05:06.740
to have an impact. And so, yeah,

05:05:06.740 --> 05:05:07.740
keep an eye on how rebels do with

05:05:07.740 --> 05:05:09.740
that. It's very much possible for

05:05:09.740 --> 05:05:10.740
GK as well. You know, there's

05:05:10.740 --> 05:05:11.740
going to be a lot of pressure on

05:05:11.740 --> 05:05:13.740
both of these two teams in many

05:05:13.740 --> 05:05:15.740
ways because they know how big

05:05:15.740 --> 05:05:16.740
an opportunity is. You look at

05:05:16.740 --> 05:05:18.740
the ML and you think you've got

05:05:18.740 --> 05:05:20.740
first pro Falcons G2, so you've

05:05:20.740 --> 05:05:22.740
already got and I know this isn't

05:05:22.740 --> 05:05:24.740
the case now, but you've got

05:05:24.740 --> 05:05:25.740
when you look at it from outside

05:05:25.740 --> 05:05:26.740
looking at it and start a stage

05:05:26.740 --> 05:05:27.740
one, you think that's three

05:05:27.740 --> 05:05:29.740
spots there for EWC that are

05:05:29.740 --> 05:05:52.740
So you feel like if you're one of the other teams, it must feel like everybody's fighting over one spot and now you're in a position where G2 have actually just lost their spot and you're thinking, you know, these are actually grabs a little bit and there's an opportunity to be that team that gets in there and starts to make a difference starts to be the one that is is at the events that we haven't seen before.

05:05:52.740 --> 05:05:58.740
And so, yeah, I think there's, you know, there's a bit of pressure there when you look at it, I think there's not really any specialization.

05:05:58.740 --> 05:05:59.740
I think they could be.

05:05:59.740 --> 05:06:01.740
We're going to miss the game.

05:06:01.740 --> 05:06:06.740
Let's talk about these bands real quick because I was going to say, interestingly, this is the exact map that these two teams played in the middle of the stage.

05:06:06.740 --> 05:06:09.740
It was on Jaleh, it was a 7-4 win to GK.

05:06:09.740 --> 05:06:11.740
They were on 5-1 in the first half.

05:06:11.740 --> 05:06:14.740
They had the entry in seven of the eight first rounds they played.

05:06:14.740 --> 05:06:16.740
They dominated the early round with the early game.

05:06:16.740 --> 05:06:20.740
Sorry, I really want to see Rebels come out swinging here and show some strength in the early game.

05:06:20.740 --> 05:06:24.660
in the early game granted they do start on the defence where they were on the attack last time

05:06:24.660 --> 05:06:30.980
that's what my eyes fall to. So it's all going to be raining through trying to find some utility what

05:06:30.980 --> 05:06:35.860
we certainly want to find in any Denari trick connectors Denari with a little bit of an unusual

05:06:35.860 --> 05:06:42.260
band there but we do see a lot of Denari used on top floor of Charlotte particularly to lock off

05:06:42.260 --> 05:06:49.140
all of solar bathroom, piano and everywhere around it deal with all those windows so I think that's why

05:06:49.140 --> 05:06:51.140
We have seen the denari by the way.

05:06:51.140 --> 05:06:53.780
I saw it everybody else on there and it makes a lot of sense.

05:06:53.780 --> 05:06:55.380
No major surprises.

05:06:55.380 --> 05:06:56.420
Ooh, just get picked up.

05:06:56.420 --> 05:07:00.500
I think the thorn down FNL was just sort of waiting to see

05:07:00.500 --> 05:07:02.100
if that drone turned around or not.

05:07:02.100 --> 05:07:05.140
It did in the end, so he's going to have to tip away.

05:07:05.140 --> 05:07:07.060
I mean, bands just kind of just merge really quickly,

05:07:07.060 --> 05:07:08.980
by the way, are nearly identical to last time.

05:07:08.980 --> 05:07:10.740
The only difference is they haven't banned away.

05:07:10.740 --> 05:07:12.260
The Monty here is the early band instead.

05:07:12.260 --> 05:07:14.660
It's the Deimos, which was a band that came out later

05:07:14.660 --> 05:07:15.940
in the game from GK.

05:07:15.940 --> 05:07:17.220
So a small couple of changes around.

05:07:17.220 --> 05:07:20.980
and I'm kind of surprised not to see the Montebeer man, but that's how things stand.

05:07:20.980 --> 05:07:25.380
The lens, he kidnaps off with the entry, Yupa falling down, who had a couple of tough maps

05:07:25.380 --> 05:07:26.380
to go to say yesterday, Tim.

05:07:26.380 --> 05:07:29.460
I think he'd be looking for a bit of a stronger showing today, but on the capitol to pull down

05:07:29.460 --> 05:07:30.820
so early, that is not so good.

05:07:30.820 --> 05:07:34.820
A lens into water second, getting one over on Yogg and securing the trade.

05:07:34.820 --> 05:07:37.620
All versus Fika Rebels, good first round so far.

05:07:37.620 --> 05:07:41.420
He gives them very little to deal with a lens in this corner.

05:07:41.420 --> 05:07:46.700
We saw his first kill go down, which was Yupuru, just kind of jumped in through window

05:07:46.700 --> 05:07:49.140
the top of the first half of

05:07:49.140 --> 05:07:51.540
the game. He's got a lot of

05:07:51.640 --> 05:07:53.860
trouble and ran towards

05:07:53.960 --> 05:07:55.600
mezzanine without a

05:07:55.700 --> 05:07:56.600
backwards glance towards a

05:07:56.700 --> 05:07:57.800
lens, so it's almost like he

05:07:57.900 --> 05:07:58.500
didn't know that he was there

05:07:58.600 --> 05:08:00.600
and then he's got himself a

05:08:00.700 --> 05:08:02.600
second as well. Martin

05:08:02.700 --> 05:08:03.700
just hook up. Groovy. That's

05:08:03.700 --> 05:08:04.900
going to be the grim gone. You

05:08:05.000 --> 05:08:06.600
haven't got your man yet need

05:08:06.700 --> 05:08:07.600
to keep fighting here, so

05:08:07.700 --> 05:08:08.600
it's which he will. And it's

05:08:08.700 --> 05:08:10.600
a third for a lens. They've

05:08:10.700 --> 05:08:12.600
done very little about him.

05:08:12.700 --> 05:08:14.600
There's been no disruption onto

05:08:14.600 --> 05:08:19.560
see celebrating the round there because he's just run all over them here.

05:08:19.560 --> 05:08:24.560
Dare I say the big mistake from GK in that round was just giving him constant 1v1 after

05:08:24.560 --> 05:08:28.920
1v1 after 1v1. And you heard the dev speaking about this a little bit during the interview

05:08:28.920 --> 05:08:33.080
yesterday we heard the reference to GKR this lurk theme. They don't really play this hyper

05:08:33.080 --> 05:08:36.440
structured style of teams that a number of other teams might employ and overwhelm you

05:08:36.440 --> 05:08:40.200
with. It is somewhat relying on individual brilliance at moments. And I think in that

05:08:40.200 --> 05:08:43.080
first round you've seen them try to make that happen and just realised they're very much

05:08:43.080 --> 05:08:45.080
and a lens has punished them for it.

05:08:45.080 --> 05:08:46.080
Far too easy.

05:08:46.080 --> 05:08:49.080
The fact that they weren't even aware that he was there in the corner

05:08:49.080 --> 05:08:51.080
is, I didn't even notice that at the time,

05:08:51.080 --> 05:08:53.080
but that is practically ridiculous.

05:08:53.080 --> 05:08:55.080
Yeah, that first kill went down.

05:08:55.080 --> 05:08:57.080
The thing is, it's just, on that side as well,

05:08:57.080 --> 05:09:00.080
it's just the position that you expect to be held.

05:09:00.080 --> 05:09:02.080
You know, and I said coming in here,

05:09:02.080 --> 05:09:04.080
maybe Rebels would be overwhelmed by the occasion

05:09:04.080 --> 05:09:06.080
and the opportunity in front of them,

05:09:06.080 --> 05:09:08.080
and you know, a little bit of an expectation of an opportunity,

05:09:08.080 --> 05:09:11.080
but GK showing that it is more than possible

05:09:11.080 --> 05:09:15.080
that. It's going to be a

05:09:15.080 --> 05:09:19.080
round two. Master and office

05:09:19.080 --> 05:09:23.080
will be our second site, which

05:09:23.080 --> 05:09:25.080
side will GK shape up for the

05:09:25.080 --> 05:09:27.080
attack at the minute, looking

05:09:27.080 --> 05:09:29.080
like they could be going

05:09:29.080 --> 05:09:31.080
straight towards a little bit

05:09:31.080 --> 05:09:33.080
of solar. The fact that you

05:09:33.080 --> 05:09:35.080
parties on it would suggest

05:09:35.080 --> 05:09:37.080
that's going to be the case

05:09:37.080 --> 05:09:39.080
with group ahead in towards

05:09:39.080 --> 05:09:43.880
That's going to be the case with Groobie heading towards Trophy on the Monty as well, we'd expect to see this.

05:09:43.880 --> 05:09:49.480
Get on solo windows like he's doing. Now you need to be careful, because there's somebody from Rebels that's just inside of those windows.

05:09:49.480 --> 05:09:55.280
But he's going to be looking to get one of those Selma chargers onto the wall and open up the long angle into sight.

05:09:55.280 --> 05:10:00.780
But they have to make sure that all the storm is clear before they do that, otherwise it will just be shot off the wall.

05:10:00.780 --> 05:10:05.280
Yeah, I do like here our GK of Red Inspeak. They had the Monty banned away against them last night, so it was enough to be a Monty ban.

05:10:05.280 --> 05:10:09.720
Would this be, I mean, okay, fair enough, that happens sometimes.

05:10:09.720 --> 05:10:12.160
It was better to be there so quick and the pay-the-price claw rate.

05:10:12.160 --> 05:10:15.400
But I was gonna say, now that the Monty's not banned away as it was last time they played in this map,

05:10:15.400 --> 05:10:17.480
I did want to see them using it back in round one,

05:10:17.480 --> 05:10:20.720
that sort of caused corrective and realizing round two, wait, the Monty is available here.

05:10:20.720 --> 05:10:23.320
Maybe we should be playing him behind it and are doing so.

05:10:23.320 --> 05:10:26.200
So it's gonna force him to play more as a unit, more as a team.

05:10:26.200 --> 05:10:29.360
You can't force him to Monty and by himself, not with the offices on the other side,

05:10:29.360 --> 05:10:33.160
two disrupt him, a lot of utility being dumped in, a plant already going on down.

05:10:33.160 --> 05:10:36.880
He's going to see Bourne, no, he'll try and spray away at the feet and Groovy scared off for a second.

05:10:36.880 --> 05:10:40.900
Sark's based at a second and we've got the Yokos up above at the same time.

05:10:40.900 --> 05:10:43.880
They can hold on here to him with their numbers adrift really quickly.

05:10:43.880 --> 05:10:47.000
Yeah, I don't think that GK need to force the plant here to be honest.

05:10:47.000 --> 05:10:49.600
I think they're going and they just used them on T now.

05:10:49.600 --> 05:10:53.640
They've got the extra man, even with Fennel finding Yogurt, they've got the extra player.

05:10:53.640 --> 05:10:56.400
You've got to win your gunfight, so that's the problem.

05:10:56.400 --> 05:11:00.160
Sark's loses a big one there to Asta on that office door.

05:11:00.160 --> 05:11:02.360
They are going to go for the plant again,

05:11:02.360 --> 05:11:10.400
It is getting shaky here as rebels continue to fight back as gets one too little too late with the York I though

05:11:10.400 --> 05:11:17.080
Plank goes down and the momentum that was looking like it favored rebels swings back in the direction of G2

05:11:17.080 --> 05:11:23.820
Sorry, okay, but no ideal groupie starts fighting back with that pistol gets these man

05:11:24.280 --> 05:11:27.360
Closes out the round and that was chaos in the last 30 seconds

05:11:27.360 --> 05:11:29.440
I did think to myself at the start of the round

05:11:29.440 --> 05:11:33.440
I can't imagine Groovy's too like chuffed about being put on the shield like he wants to play with a gun

05:11:33.440 --> 05:11:34.880
He wants to be problematic

05:11:34.880 --> 05:11:36.600
He don't care what you took him on

05:11:36.600 --> 05:11:41.980
He's got two kills on the Monty at the end in that one versus two really well played by him between alums and Groovy

05:11:41.980 --> 05:11:45.680
Dare I say was one of the other man that was left alive probably a little bit panicked there

05:11:45.680 --> 05:11:50.160
I think but they had to make something happen and Groovy capitalized it brilliantly on the situation

05:11:51.160 --> 05:11:53.160
Overall, but I was a little bit nervous just for GK

05:11:53.160 --> 05:11:56.680
They were in a five-person street, but the fact is it came down to a 1v2 for your Monty

05:11:56.680 --> 05:11:58.680
you're not going to be able to

05:11:58.680 --> 05:12:00.680
get a lot of the. You're not

05:12:00.680 --> 05:12:01.680
going to be. Kind of shows you

05:12:01.680 --> 05:12:02.680
need to get a little better

05:12:02.680 --> 05:12:03.680
holding onto these rounds when

05:12:03.680 --> 05:12:04.680
you find the advantage, but it's

05:12:04.680 --> 05:12:07.680
around on the board. Both teams

05:12:07.680 --> 05:12:08.680
have got to win. Both are fired

05:12:08.680 --> 05:12:09.680
up. That's what you want to see.

05:12:09.680 --> 05:12:12.680
I don't feel like GK combined

05:12:12.680 --> 05:12:14.680
well enough with the Monty, so

05:12:14.680 --> 05:12:16.680
groupie goes in, tries to throw a

05:12:16.680 --> 05:12:18.680
plant down comes back out after

05:12:18.680 --> 05:12:20.680
being disrupted by a player in

05:12:20.680 --> 05:12:22.680
bathroom. Fair enough, but they've

05:12:22.680 --> 05:12:25.680
got a big man advantage at that

05:12:25.680 --> 05:12:27.680
you can push yourself forward

05:12:27.680 --> 05:12:29.680
and try to take some of those

05:12:29.680 --> 05:12:31.680
fights, you know, commit. It

05:12:31.680 --> 05:12:33.680
felt like GK just didn't really

05:12:33.680 --> 05:12:35.680
commit to one or the other. They

05:12:35.680 --> 05:12:37.680
tried to put the plant down. It

05:12:37.680 --> 05:12:39.680
didn't quite work. So right, get

05:12:39.680 --> 05:12:41.680
back off. We'll have a look. We'll

05:12:41.680 --> 05:12:43.680
get some intel with the mountain,

05:12:43.680 --> 05:12:45.680
but. It never really committed to

05:12:45.680 --> 05:12:47.680
it. Never like right. Let's

05:12:47.680 --> 05:12:49.680
actually go with him. Get some

05:12:49.680 --> 05:12:51.680
kills, play some space. And

05:12:51.680 --> 05:12:53.680
we'll get some intel with the

05:12:53.680 --> 05:12:57.680
the game. It's like, you know,

05:12:57.780 --> 05:12:59.580
you know, you're going to get

05:12:59.680 --> 05:13:01.580
some kills, clear some space,

05:13:01.680 --> 05:13:03.580
and then it was back to the

05:13:03.680 --> 05:13:05.580
plant, and then it was off the

05:13:05.680 --> 05:13:07.580
and it was just, yeah, I think

05:13:07.680 --> 05:13:09.580
they were sort of, you know,

05:13:09.680 --> 05:13:11.580
between one idea and the other

05:13:11.680 --> 05:13:13.580
at times and not really knowing

05:13:13.680 --> 05:13:15.580
which to commit to. What kind of

05:13:15.680 --> 05:13:17.580
come back to the map veto for

05:13:17.680 --> 05:13:18.580
this series, by the way, is the

05:13:18.680 --> 05:13:19.580
first time that I can think of

05:13:19.680 --> 05:13:21.580
him. So for those that don't

05:13:21.680 --> 05:13:22.580
know behind the scenes, we have

05:13:22.580 --> 05:13:26.180
the top five. Both teams are

05:13:26.280 --> 05:13:27.880
very happy to go to all three

05:13:27.980 --> 05:13:29.480
maps who got coming up today,

05:13:29.580 --> 05:13:30.480
and I'm really hoping it means

05:13:30.580 --> 05:13:31.580
we have a proper high quality

05:13:31.680 --> 05:13:32.780
series as we go through. Like

05:13:32.880 --> 05:13:33.980
I said, the best thing is

05:13:34.080 --> 05:13:35.480
coming three. So why not make

05:13:35.580 --> 05:13:37.180
it the earlier series? How

05:13:37.280 --> 05:13:38.680
good they are and how much they

05:13:38.780 --> 05:13:40.380
like a given map overall? This

05:13:40.480 --> 05:13:41.780
might be the first time that I

05:13:41.880 --> 05:13:43.480
have seen the best of three

05:13:43.580 --> 05:13:44.980
where both teams all three

05:13:45.080 --> 05:13:46.980
maps sit inside of their top

05:13:47.080 --> 05:13:48.980
five. Both teams very happy to

05:13:49.080 --> 05:13:50.480
go to all three maps who got

05:13:50.580 --> 05:13:51.680
coming up today, and I'm really

05:13:51.680 --> 05:13:55.720
the game. We're going to make

05:13:55.720 --> 05:13:56.320
it the earlier series. Why not

05:13:56.320 --> 05:13:57.320
make it Argentina versus Egypt

05:13:57.320 --> 05:14:00.720
and want to make it this game as

05:14:00.720 --> 05:14:01.360
well. Both both of our games

05:14:01.360 --> 05:14:03.360
yesterday as well went to three

05:14:03.360 --> 05:14:05.360
maps as well. We have six

05:14:05.360 --> 05:14:07.360
yesterday. We could. Is and that

05:14:07.360 --> 05:14:09.360
is a long time since I've seen

05:14:09.360 --> 05:14:12.360
four games all best of threes

05:14:12.360 --> 05:14:14.360
all go to the full three maps.

05:14:14.360 --> 05:14:15.360
So let's see if it happens here

05:14:15.360 --> 05:14:16.360
today. Just got a slight

05:14:16.360 --> 05:14:18.360
technical pause. I think we're

05:14:18.360 --> 05:14:20.360
going to be heading back in now.

05:14:20.360 --> 05:14:25.580
on both sides. I expect GK and Rebels both to settle into this, but we saw those early

05:14:25.580 --> 05:14:30.340
mistakes from GK in round one, you know, just completely feeding the limbs in the corner

05:14:30.340 --> 05:14:35.460
of library like it was, you know, some brand new position to hold on bar and gaming when,

05:14:35.460 --> 05:14:40.260
you know, it's just number one, you expect somebody to be there. So a bit of a strange

05:14:40.260 --> 05:14:45.820
situation there, but also then just that second round, I think it's a little bit of lack of

05:14:45.820 --> 05:14:49.220
old teams to kind of either

05:14:49.220 --> 05:14:50.180
the plan Rebels reacting but

05:14:50.180 --> 05:14:51.980
not dealing with the York high

05:14:51.980 --> 05:14:53.960
quick enough to disrupt the

05:14:53.960 --> 05:14:54.600
plant for example and yeah so

05:14:54.600 --> 05:14:55.500
for me a little bit of

05:14:55.500 --> 05:14:56.800
showing I think they're

05:14:56.800 --> 05:14:58.160
teams they settle into it well

05:14:58.160 --> 05:14:59.500
one seems pretty fair after

05:14:59.500 --> 05:15:01.560
the first two rounds and

05:15:01.560 --> 05:15:06.440
hopefully we continue with that

05:15:06.440 --> 05:15:07.180
back and forth. Absolutely while

05:15:07.180 --> 05:15:08.000
we started out with him. Let's

05:15:08.000 --> 05:15:08.740
see if he carries on through

05:15:08.740 --> 05:15:09.800
that round free course. Someone

05:15:09.800 --> 05:15:10.800
has to win it so someone's

05:15:10.800 --> 05:15:11.840
going to start pulling back

05:15:11.840 --> 05:15:12.440
into the lead but if we stay

05:15:12.440 --> 05:15:13.480
neck in neck throughout then

05:15:13.480 --> 05:15:14.540
I'll be a happy man given

05:15:14.540 --> 05:15:19.100
And again, how the last series went when these two played on this map, as a reminder it was

05:15:19.100 --> 05:15:24.060
5-1 to GK after the first half, very dominant from them, Rebels showing round 1, they can

05:15:24.060 --> 05:15:27.700
play this game as well, they can learn from the last time they played each other and corrects

05:15:27.700 --> 05:15:31.860
the mistakes, right the wrongs of the last time they faced off against each other.

05:15:31.860 --> 05:15:35.980
The IQ on sides have been an interesting pick here, normally being into things like the

05:15:35.980 --> 05:15:39.420
raised blues that might come out of course and towards the left-hand calls as well, but

05:15:39.420 --> 05:15:42.500
probably wouldn't be surprising if it was also leaning towards the solace of the Lens here

05:15:42.500 --> 05:15:44.660
So of course, help hunt it on down at the both ways.

05:15:44.660 --> 05:15:46.580
You've got a slight range increase as well.

05:15:46.580 --> 05:15:49.180
So the spot where she can see even more through the map now.

05:15:51.380 --> 05:15:54.140
One minute in then, just having a look at GK.

05:15:54.140 --> 05:15:56.260
Not really too established,

05:15:56.260 --> 05:15:59.460
although Ask and Groobit are now making some progress

05:15:59.460 --> 05:16:01.700
through mezzanine, and we've got the stature

05:16:01.700 --> 05:16:04.380
just waiting strategically underneath there

05:16:04.380 --> 05:16:06.620
to be able to clear out those electroclaws.

05:16:06.620 --> 05:16:08.660
That was a really good draw on the nitro.

05:16:08.660 --> 05:16:10.980
My heart was in my mouth for a second there for Groobit.

05:16:10.980 --> 05:16:15.860
I didn't know if it was just going to kind of click past the edge of his shield. It does a lot of damage to him.

05:16:15.860 --> 05:16:19.160
The Monty needs to be careful. Yuto does manage to pick up Venor.

05:16:19.160 --> 05:16:23.660
Given that he's on the Nomad, I would expect him, I was going to say, to be outside of a window.

05:16:23.660 --> 05:16:29.620
It is on the bathroom side. We saw the Denarii bang coming, so that's DK leaning into that ban.

05:16:29.620 --> 05:16:36.080
And I like that. I'd never like to see teams take an operator away and then not use the avenues that they've opened up for themselves.

05:16:36.080 --> 05:16:39.880
but DK are doing so by pressuring that bathroom's died.

05:16:39.880 --> 05:16:42.080
He'll absolutely lose his life as well.

05:16:42.880 --> 05:16:43.880
I'm changing that!

05:16:43.880 --> 05:16:45.880
I'm just stepping across from massive risk, but...

05:16:45.880 --> 05:16:47.380
...gives himself a live unwell, though.

05:16:47.380 --> 05:16:49.680
They store again the arm to step out for a second,

05:16:49.680 --> 05:16:51.880
and Nuffer rips the head off her ass,

05:16:51.880 --> 05:16:54.480
who is stepping out of belief in a C4 in hand.

05:16:54.480 --> 05:16:57.080
Certainly a little bit of a yeet to get that one all the way to the window

05:16:57.080 --> 05:16:58.880
and pays the price for it.

05:16:58.880 --> 05:17:01.380
So two kills starting things out for DK.

05:17:01.380 --> 05:17:02.880
They were here last time, though, Tim.

05:17:02.880 --> 05:17:04.280
We found them at a 5v3.

05:17:04.280 --> 05:17:07.880
the game. They took it all the

05:17:07.880 --> 05:17:09.280
way down to a one V two. Yogdo

05:17:09.280 --> 05:17:10.280
is sure they maintain that

05:17:10.280 --> 05:17:11.280
advantage for now, and the

05:17:11.280 --> 05:17:13.280
walls are starting to close in

05:17:13.280 --> 05:17:14.280
here on towards Lincoln gets

05:17:14.280 --> 05:17:15.280
away with one, but there's a

05:17:15.280 --> 05:17:16.280
shield in front of his face and

05:17:16.280 --> 05:17:17.280
no doubt player on solar. He

05:17:17.280 --> 05:17:18.280
knows that swing is coming.

05:17:18.280 --> 05:17:19.280
Didn't quite know when, but as

05:17:19.280 --> 05:17:20.280
gets the kill. Marks are left

05:17:20.280 --> 05:17:21.280
all alone. You put with the

05:17:21.280 --> 05:17:25.280
close. GK with a really good

05:17:25.280 --> 05:17:26.280
third round. Yeah, just I think

05:17:26.280 --> 05:17:28.280
as I said, those nerves there

05:17:28.280 --> 05:17:29.280
are going to start settling

05:17:29.280 --> 05:17:31.280
over these first few rounds. I

05:17:31.280 --> 05:17:32.280
think we're starting to see

05:17:32.280 --> 05:17:33.280
that particularly for GK and

05:17:33.280 --> 05:17:38.880
the last two rounds. They've

05:17:38.980 --> 05:17:41.080
had a very solid attack there

05:17:41.180 --> 05:17:43.180
to take around three. They've

05:17:43.280 --> 05:17:45.180
also had the entry kill in

05:17:45.280 --> 05:17:46.180
round two and three. It was

05:17:46.280 --> 05:17:48.180
something you mentioned at the

05:17:48.280 --> 05:17:50.180
beginning of this one. Des we

05:17:50.280 --> 05:17:51.180
starting to see GK get

05:17:51.280 --> 05:17:52.180
themselves, you know, a little

05:17:52.280 --> 05:17:53.180
bit of advantage their socks

05:17:53.280 --> 05:17:56.180
and you poor picking those two

05:17:56.280 --> 05:17:57.180
up. Heading then towards

05:17:57.280 --> 05:17:59.180
round four. We will get our

05:17:59.280 --> 05:18:01.180
last bands coming Rebels

05:18:01.280 --> 05:18:03.180
decide that they've had enough

05:18:03.280 --> 05:18:04.660
So they're going to take that away.

05:18:04.660 --> 05:18:06.620
And it's going to be a Rooney on the other side.

05:18:06.620 --> 05:18:09.940
It lends, of course, playing a Rooney in that library corner.

05:18:09.940 --> 05:18:13.360
Seems like a little bit of a reactive band as that one.

05:18:13.360 --> 05:18:15.020
This is what's about last time round two.

05:18:15.020 --> 05:18:16.780
Band is half one or two in the round as well.

05:18:16.780 --> 05:18:18.420
So I'm not too surprised to see it going away.

05:18:18.420 --> 05:18:19.260
But it's not a lie.

05:18:19.260 --> 05:18:20.020
He's the entry.

05:18:20.020 --> 05:18:21.700
I'm thinking it lends back in round one.

05:18:21.700 --> 05:18:22.820
But if they get that through the free,

05:18:22.820 --> 05:18:24.340
I think it's better to take it away.

05:18:24.340 --> 05:18:27.540
The DMR just so deadly in so many power positions on this map.

05:18:27.540 --> 05:18:29.260
And interestingly, again, looking back at the last time

05:18:29.260 --> 05:18:31.420
they played this map and the bands that came away,

05:18:31.420 --> 05:18:33.020
at least on the side of Rebels, the bands

05:18:33.020 --> 05:18:38.180
We've got here were exactly the same. It's now to change in order on the other side. So what was the same?

05:18:38.220 --> 05:18:42.560
They were to go solo this last time around they're rather leaning in towards the Aruni

05:18:42.780 --> 05:18:47.500
Clearly identified we feel there's a bigger problem right now coming in from that DMR and that is from solo

05:18:47.500 --> 05:18:49.500
Let's walk him out with a piece user

05:18:49.500 --> 05:18:55.700
Aruni is great for burning utility if nothing else, you know, you think about it goes three layers of gates can then be

05:18:55.820 --> 05:19:01.580
Three flash has gone couple of nades, you know, whatever it might be three pieces of utility or maybe even drones

05:19:01.580 --> 05:19:05.580
the game. So if you look at

05:19:05.580 --> 05:19:07.580
those, you can see the

05:19:07.580 --> 05:19:09.580
difference. If we look at those

05:19:09.580 --> 05:19:11.580
as a separate thing to clear

05:19:11.580 --> 05:19:13.580
out those laser gates, but then

05:19:13.580 --> 05:19:15.580
it can be re energised after

05:19:15.580 --> 05:19:17.580
appear as well. So you know, three

05:19:17.580 --> 05:19:19.580
is not really the limit with

05:19:19.580 --> 05:19:21.580
those laser gates. So if you're

05:19:21.580 --> 05:19:23.580
looking towards playing an

05:19:23.580 --> 05:19:25.580
Intel game and sorry, a

05:19:25.580 --> 05:19:27.580
util game and being able to go

05:19:27.580 --> 05:19:29.580
in there and disrupt those

05:19:29.580 --> 05:19:35.520
back around. We go for Rebels to

05:19:35.520 --> 05:19:37.520
bar and gaming. This is the

05:19:37.520 --> 05:19:39.520
start that they will in the

05:19:39.520 --> 05:19:41.520
first round. I will give GK a

05:19:41.520 --> 05:19:43.520
pass for that first round, but

05:19:43.520 --> 05:19:45.520
if they do not feel with the

05:19:45.520 --> 05:19:47.520
lens in the corner of library

05:19:47.520 --> 05:19:49.520
this time, then they deserve

05:19:49.520 --> 05:19:51.520
everything they get. It's a

05:19:51.520 --> 05:19:53.520
nurse little bit. It's not

05:19:53.520 --> 05:19:55.520
it wasn't on the was he was

05:19:55.520 --> 05:19:57.520
sat in the very, very corner

05:19:57.520 --> 05:20:01.600
I hope it's signed soon. So, a bit of a misstep argue there coming in for a lens and pays the price.

05:20:02.160 --> 05:20:05.120
Thankfully, not too much to worry about on the other side in terms of utility to punish him.

05:20:05.120 --> 05:20:09.120
I mean, there are smokes in the back pocket of Twitch and of course, the Cafetower's got to have his own.

05:20:09.520 --> 05:20:12.640
But it's not like you're having to deal with any Candela's here without the Warden on side.

05:20:12.640 --> 05:20:16.480
So it's not the end of the world more than but still paying to lose the entry.

05:20:19.360 --> 05:20:23.600
Problem with this start and losing the entry, Ruby does actually get taken down as I'm speaking.

05:20:23.600 --> 05:20:29.040
to pick him up. Linkering you

05:20:29.100 --> 05:20:31.200
three versus three now, but

05:20:31.200 --> 05:20:33.200
losing that entry here on this

05:20:33.200 --> 05:20:34.740
site particularly means you

05:20:34.740 --> 05:20:35.740
start to lose one of your

05:20:35.740 --> 05:20:37.540
corners of that triangle

05:20:37.540 --> 05:20:38.880
upstairs. Usually so your

05:20:38.880 --> 05:20:40.480
library stairs, your corner of

05:20:40.480 --> 05:20:42.440
library, your library box or

05:20:42.440 --> 05:20:43.640
mezzanine wherever that person

05:20:43.640 --> 05:20:44.980
is playing. You start to lose

05:20:44.980 --> 05:20:46.480
one of those and when you lose

05:20:46.480 --> 05:20:47.980
one, the other two become

05:20:47.980 --> 05:20:49.580
considerably weaker like this

05:20:49.580 --> 05:20:51.080
position now for Fennelly is

05:20:51.080 --> 05:20:52.580
just trying to move around and

05:20:52.580 --> 05:20:58.020
over come into anything because he loses life if he does. So nicely paid from GK, get that entry,

05:20:58.020 --> 05:21:02.820
break that area down and start to use that vertical superiority which they're now doing.

05:21:05.460 --> 05:21:08.420
The time wise as well, it's the last for a return, they've got to roll out,

05:21:08.420 --> 05:21:10.740
it's a lot of loads more to worry about tearing away.

05:21:11.860 --> 05:21:15.540
Time a little bit of softening up inside the sides itself, but without loads of vertical here,

05:21:15.540 --> 05:21:18.580
it does mean you might just find Red Bull players able to sit in little

05:21:18.580 --> 05:21:22.180
They're called on rat corners and are sometimes quite ready to go for the punish before it.

05:21:22.180 --> 05:21:25.140
They've got this hat and that could be absolutely hell for them, Sarks.

05:21:25.140 --> 05:21:29.220
Well, he's heading to the bait there and triggered the race blue and Feno steps out for his second in the round.

05:21:29.220 --> 05:21:30.740
Asked with it all to do.

05:21:30.740 --> 05:21:33.700
Now, it's going to sit and wait for him to step his way down and show him exactly what he does.

05:21:33.700 --> 05:21:37.460
They know that he's now pushing his way in through lobby to challenge him towards Feno,

05:21:37.460 --> 05:21:39.220
who comes away on top of this one.

05:21:39.220 --> 05:21:41.060
Feno's giving it the good old one two though.

05:21:41.060 --> 05:21:42.100
Asked can't win it out.

05:21:42.100 --> 05:21:44.100
Feno with the 3k in the round.

05:21:44.100 --> 05:21:45.620
That's three in a row for GK, Tim.

05:21:45.620 --> 05:21:47.860
I said, good things coming three, he's in for GK.

05:21:47.860 --> 05:21:52.860
that's a good thing. That's

05:21:52.860 --> 05:21:53.860
really smart from Feno there.

05:21:53.860 --> 05:21:55.860
He was just waiting as long as

05:21:55.860 --> 05:21:56.860
he could to take that challenge

05:21:56.860 --> 05:21:57.860
because he knew that there'd be

05:21:57.860 --> 05:21:59.860
a reward at some point. So he

05:21:59.860 --> 05:22:00.860
just kind of I'm not saying he's

05:22:00.860 --> 05:22:02.860
counting individual bullets, but

05:22:02.860 --> 05:22:03.860
he's probably just getting a

05:22:03.860 --> 05:22:05.860
little bit of an idea himself.

05:22:05.860 --> 05:22:07.860
You know, that's three. That's

05:22:07.860 --> 05:22:09.860
another four. Another four. So

05:22:09.860 --> 05:22:10.860
he's just getting that rough idea

05:22:10.860 --> 05:22:12.860
of right. There's going to be a

05:22:12.860 --> 05:22:13.860
reward coming here. There has to

05:22:13.860 --> 05:22:16.860
be some steps out and wins that

05:22:16.860 --> 05:22:21.160
they were able to get top

05:22:21.160 --> 05:22:23.160
floor control, but didn't ever

05:22:23.160 --> 05:22:25.160
really use it. Rebels dropped

05:22:25.160 --> 05:22:27.160
away nicely. We knew that it

05:22:27.160 --> 05:22:29.160
was getting a little bit too

05:22:29.160 --> 05:22:31.160
hot in the kitchen. Not quite

05:22:31.160 --> 05:22:33.160
literally that's going to be

05:22:33.160 --> 05:22:35.160
this right, but they knew it

05:22:35.160 --> 05:22:37.160
was getting too hot for them,

05:22:37.160 --> 05:22:39.160
so they dropped away, fought

05:22:39.160 --> 05:22:41.160
their fight elsewhere. Really

05:22:41.160 --> 05:22:43.160
nice stuff from them on the

05:22:43.160 --> 05:22:45.160
defense. All right. Well, I

05:22:45.160 --> 05:22:50.160
Alright, well I think it's better to say you've got to see a little bit of a turn around, a turn up here then for both sides.

05:22:50.160 --> 05:22:53.160
Stayed neck and neck as he's gone through so far.

05:22:53.160 --> 05:22:59.160
Rebel is obviously managing plenty of fire and without the DMR on side, they've managed to find their way through and backflip back in, so can't defend that much.

05:22:59.160 --> 05:23:02.160
Dining as well, we'll set down to round five.

05:23:02.160 --> 05:23:06.160
And look, it's towards that line up there. Still, there's going to be a few headaches and GK to have to work their way through.

05:23:06.160 --> 05:23:10.160
Mainly looking towards the new jammers and towards the Kaid here as well.

05:23:10.160 --> 05:23:12.400
Melusi was talking about a number of times and

05:23:12.400 --> 05:23:15.200
it's a thing I heard a few like Koshima speaking about as well is

05:23:15.200 --> 05:23:19.120
when would you want to bring along a braver, if you see a maestro on site it's always an obvious go-to

05:23:19.120 --> 05:23:22.880
but also when there's a Melusi because she does get four of those down and because it is

05:23:22.880 --> 05:23:27.520
lots of stuff that's going down attack is about the fact that it gives information away in the same way that Bracer Blooms do

05:23:27.520 --> 05:23:31.600
if they get shot out or triggered or whatever you just notice someone's pushing in from that side

05:23:31.600 --> 05:23:34.720
and they're committing effort and resources trying to clarify that part of the map

05:23:34.720 --> 05:23:37.280
so here of course Linky doesn't have that challenge

05:23:37.280 --> 05:23:41.720
that. It's not a good idea to

05:23:41.820 --> 05:23:43.320
play it. Maybe they'll be

05:23:43.420 --> 05:23:45.320
Yorgon, the desire with the

05:23:45.420 --> 05:23:47.360
factory MPs to help towards

05:23:47.460 --> 05:23:49.760
that end.

05:23:49.860 --> 05:23:51.560
Drums will match to.

05:23:51.660 --> 05:23:52.760
Dodge the new Jammer there.

05:23:52.860 --> 05:23:53.660
Get on inside, have a little

05:23:53.760 --> 05:23:55.660
look. They know that there's a

05:23:55.760 --> 05:23:57.660
player up on mezzanine. It's

05:23:57.760 --> 05:23:58.960
going to be Feno on the phone.

05:23:59.060 --> 05:24:00.760
Has played his race. Plumes

05:24:00.860 --> 05:24:01.700
particularly well. We saw a

05:24:01.800 --> 05:24:02.800
great example of it last time.

05:24:02.900 --> 05:24:04.300
How about that from Groovy though?

05:24:04.400 --> 05:24:05.800
Marta is going to be kicking

05:24:35.800 --> 05:24:36.800
looking for it. There's not a

05:24:36.800 --> 05:24:37.800
whole lot they can do with it

05:24:37.800 --> 05:24:38.800
once they've got it, mind you.

05:24:38.800 --> 05:24:39.800
And then you've got two breach

05:24:39.800 --> 05:24:40.800
and charges in the back pocket

05:24:40.800 --> 05:24:41.800
of Groobie here as Pirol

05:24:41.800 --> 05:24:42.800
start getting exchanged.

05:24:42.800 --> 05:24:43.800
He's asked on towards the

05:24:43.800 --> 05:24:44.800
New Yorkie, he wants to find

05:24:44.800 --> 05:24:45.800
Belinku. And then again

05:24:45.800 --> 05:24:46.800
appearing in the kill feed as

05:24:46.800 --> 05:24:48.800
he finds one, went to a three

05:24:48.800 --> 05:24:49.800
versus three at least

05:24:49.800 --> 05:24:50.800
temporarily while Yogg

05:24:50.800 --> 05:24:51.800
is down on the deck.

05:24:51.800 --> 05:24:53.800
Yeah, not ideal here for GK.

05:24:53.800 --> 05:24:54.800
You're going to have Yogg

05:24:54.800 --> 05:24:55.800
come back up onto 20,

05:24:55.800 --> 05:24:57.800
which means that most guns

05:24:57.800 --> 05:24:59.800
are going to manage to find

05:24:59.800 --> 05:25:00.800
the kill onto him.

05:25:00.800 --> 05:25:01.800
Four versus three.

05:25:01.800 --> 05:25:02.800
They're away.

05:25:02.800 --> 05:25:03.800
Yogg manages to shut him down

05:25:03.800 --> 05:25:04.800
and that's why you always

05:25:04.800 --> 05:25:06.440
That's why you always pick your players up.

05:25:06.440 --> 05:25:08.840
You never know what they're going to do later in the round.

05:25:08.840 --> 05:25:11.920
You poor managers have found Linku 4 versus 1.

05:25:11.920 --> 05:25:14.520
And it is now just a case of find a bit of space

05:25:14.520 --> 05:25:17.680
and put the diffuser down, which act begins to do.

05:25:17.680 --> 05:25:20.280
Fighting from the hatched door,

05:25:20.280 --> 05:25:23.320
after managers to get through.

05:25:23.320 --> 05:25:26.680
That's going to be the plant stopped as well, there's.

05:25:26.680 --> 05:25:30.160
4v1 becomes 2v1, GK.

05:25:30.160 --> 05:25:32.200
They could have a problem here.

05:25:32.200 --> 05:25:33.520
Is it a B?

05:25:33.520 --> 05:25:34.440
It is, but he knows.

05:25:34.440 --> 05:25:39.480
it might be. They can keep playing this game all day. Does he know? Yes he does. And he

05:25:39.480 --> 05:25:44.520
gets the down as well. Oh no. Pushing up solar stairs could have been the player I would

05:25:44.520 --> 05:25:47.960
have thought. Will he be able to get his man up though? Looks like he will. Hasn't got

05:25:47.960 --> 05:25:51.960
the angle on towards him. One of them has to hold these verticals. One has to go for

05:25:51.960 --> 05:25:55.480
the plan as they come in towards his last five seconds. They're going to try again.

05:25:55.480 --> 05:25:58.440
That's looking towards the wrong spot though. No, they're back in the same place they were

05:25:58.440 --> 05:26:03.880
earlier. But he doesn't have any idea till he was so close. A second or so away. And

05:26:03.880 --> 05:26:08.440
maybe we're celebrating an amazing clutch, but instead, it's now just like an impossible

05:26:08.440 --> 05:26:15.720
comeback for us. Yeah, that was really rough for us. He was so in control of that situation.

05:26:15.720 --> 05:26:19.920
I thought he was just going to keep picking the right plant spot every single time gets

05:26:19.920 --> 05:26:27.000
his man though, 1v2 becomes 1v1. We've got a flip reversal. Sox has gone upstairs. Is

05:26:27.000 --> 05:26:33.840
he going to be able to find the angle? He's going to get away with it. A 1v4 clutch from

05:27:03.840 --> 05:27:07.280
One stays around downstairs, one works his way upstairs.

05:27:07.280 --> 05:27:10.640
You either go together and play as a unit and look for a trade upstairs,

05:27:10.640 --> 05:27:13.440
or you stay on the downstairs and you hold for a crossfire.

05:27:14.080 --> 05:27:16.400
GK probably gonna kick him himself there because again,

05:27:16.400 --> 05:27:18.240
they found themselves with the entry,

05:27:18.240 --> 05:27:22.000
but not being able to convert the round cannot be given a 1v4 way like that.

05:27:22.000 --> 05:27:41.600
So, Rebels currently sitting on top of things and getting themselves a slim advantage, but

05:27:41.600 --> 05:27:48.000
in the overall picture of Shallie, this could be particularly big because the attackers

05:27:48.000 --> 05:27:54.000
generally have a good time of

05:27:54.000 --> 05:27:56.000
things on. Shall if rebels are

05:27:56.000 --> 05:27:57.000
able to come away with a photo

05:27:57.000 --> 05:27:59.000
defensive half or even having

05:27:59.000 --> 05:28:01.000
secured the three is pretty good.

05:28:01.000 --> 05:28:03.000
But if they could take the four

05:28:03.000 --> 05:28:05.000
to half on defense, GK could be

05:28:05.000 --> 05:28:06.000
in some serious trouble before

05:28:06.000 --> 05:28:08.000
they know what's going on,

05:28:08.000 --> 05:28:09.000
depending, of course, you know,

05:28:09.000 --> 05:28:11.000
we always see that side switch.

05:28:11.000 --> 05:28:12.000
We don't ever know what we're

05:28:12.000 --> 05:28:13.000
going to get on the other side

05:28:13.000 --> 05:28:15.000
of it, but rebels if they come

05:28:15.000 --> 05:28:17.000
through on the attack and start

05:28:17.000 --> 05:28:24.520
could be uh panic stations just a little just a little again if you look back at the last time

05:28:24.520 --> 05:28:28.200
the two teams played against each other and it's always worth jumping back into what the stats

05:28:28.200 --> 05:28:31.720
look like what they banned away i was speaking about earlier on but also what the results were

05:28:31.720 --> 05:28:36.360
it was that five one first half as ek that was just so ridiculously dominant we're touching on they

05:28:36.360 --> 05:28:42.360
are three zero on the track they beat versus pro here just yesterday on this map like they should

05:28:42.360 --> 05:28:49.360
The rebels have challenged them every single step of the way and when it was rebels on the defence they managed to win three defences.

05:28:49.360 --> 05:28:56.360
It did only take two attacks and GK to see things over the line, but as it stands, rebels are matching the performance they had last time around.

05:28:56.360 --> 05:29:00.360
When things switch sides, that's who might start to see them coming a little bit undone.

05:29:00.360 --> 05:29:06.360
Two halves to a game of siege, I always say it, and it might be the rebels really struggling with the attacking side, but we'll see when we get there.

05:29:06.360 --> 05:29:08.360
the

05:29:08.360 --> 05:29:10.360
the

05:29:10.360 --> 05:29:12.360
the entry again goes to yoga.

05:29:12.360 --> 05:29:14.360
That's five in a row, by the way,

05:29:14.360 --> 05:29:16.360
but rebels just don't seem to

05:29:16.360 --> 05:29:18.360
be too affected by it.

05:29:18.360 --> 05:29:20.360
They are happy at least whilst on the

05:29:20.360 --> 05:29:22.360
defence to I'm sure they would choose otherwise,

05:29:22.360 --> 05:29:24.360
but they seem pretty happy to get

05:29:24.360 --> 05:29:26.360
these rounds one even when they start off

05:29:26.360 --> 05:29:28.360
with the man disadvantage. The pattern turns

05:29:28.360 --> 05:29:30.360
to follow that they lose an early

05:29:30.360 --> 05:29:32.360
entry. This one wasn't too early,

05:29:32.360 --> 05:29:34.360
but in the first half of the round

05:29:34.360 --> 05:29:39.260
There's not much to follow from there. Opportunity for Feno to level it up, which he does.

05:29:39.260 --> 05:29:44.060
And all of a sudden, that big entry that GK got is a little bit neutralised.

05:29:44.060 --> 05:29:45.160
Three versus three.

05:29:45.660 --> 05:29:47.760
Yeah, the battling back and forth is the key one there, Ryze.

05:29:47.760 --> 05:29:51.960
Much of this war team of the entries, two kills coming back from GK to equalise things.

05:29:51.960 --> 05:29:56.960
However, it's not late in the round, but it's a point where it's still the mid-round, right?

05:29:56.960 --> 05:29:59.560
Where you're still able to disrupt and take things away from the attackers.

05:29:59.560 --> 05:30:03.960
The Grim Bs, usually the buck downstairs, for example, they've lost those two key capabilities.

05:30:03.960 --> 05:30:06.520
and the softer capabilities they've got in the A to the IQ.

05:30:06.520 --> 05:30:09.600
God, the Swings of Lincoln is surely a freebie, no!

05:30:09.600 --> 05:30:11.920
Should have had his name every single day of the week, but ask.

05:30:11.920 --> 05:30:14.720
His second in the round being collected, it's a three versus two,

05:30:14.720 --> 05:30:17.040
makes it a third for himself.

05:30:17.040 --> 05:30:18.400
Not at all a bad showing.

05:30:18.400 --> 05:30:22.080
Assa's already pulled off a 1B14, what's a 1B3 in the next?

05:30:22.080 --> 05:30:24.320
Quite, it should be easy straight now, shouldn't it?

05:30:24.320 --> 05:30:28.120
The only thing is he doesn't have that verticality to play with

05:30:28.120 --> 05:30:30.480
that he sure does saw well last time.

05:30:30.480 --> 05:30:33.640
It feels like GK know exactly where he is as well, which they do.

05:30:33.640 --> 05:30:34.140
Wow.

05:30:34.140 --> 05:30:40.360
As fans his man as he comes around the corner and that is going to level things out three, sorry not four, two on the half?

05:30:41.160 --> 05:30:42.920
Three three, three three on the half.

05:30:42.920 --> 05:30:43.720
Three three on the half.

05:30:43.720 --> 05:30:46.280
Well we're confused from the heat, but let's go back to the desk and see what they think.

05:30:47.560 --> 05:30:50.680
This is really post back and forth between these two teams.

05:30:50.680 --> 05:30:54.680
We want to take it back to round two, where we saw something from GK that led to the Monty Bend,

05:30:54.680 --> 05:30:56.600
then led to Rebels winning more rounds on defense.

05:30:56.600 --> 05:31:01.000
Yeah it feels like I can you know forgive Ace because so many of these rounds you feel like

05:31:01.000 --> 05:31:05.720
should go the other way. Look at this one from Grubby, by the way, a 1v2 clutch. Really beautiful

05:31:05.720 --> 05:31:09.240
one from him with the mounties. The main wind condition on the side of Geek and you're gonna

05:31:09.240 --> 05:31:13.400
see it in this round round 3. Look at the pressure that Mounties apply in creative movement, right?

05:31:13.400 --> 05:31:17.400
In solo stairs, he's all the way upstairs and one player has to swim from back from get to kill.

05:31:17.400 --> 05:31:22.440
Same thing happens downstairs here in trophy. How many players are coached? Moving too much.

05:31:22.440 --> 05:31:27.720
By ask, on the nomad or by that sure on the trophy window, the game plan for Geek was simple.

05:31:27.720 --> 05:31:31.080
We're going to push people away with a shield, we're going to have people lined up on windows,

05:31:31.080 --> 05:31:35.960
and we're going to punish the fact that Rebels move too much. But the thing is, how many times have

05:31:35.960 --> 05:31:41.000
we seen Geeky basically get them an advantage and somehow throw it away because they lose these gunfights?

05:31:41.000 --> 05:31:45.320
Yeah, it's five entries in a row and ultimately they've ended at what, 3-3 in terms of the score line?

05:31:45.320 --> 05:31:49.720
I think, yeah, the Monty Ban was pretty significant. I think Rebels got themselves back into it,

05:31:49.720 --> 05:31:56.040
but they also got themselves back into it on the back of a huge clutch, by the way, coming out from

05:31:56.040 --> 05:32:08.760
I think, you know, what was it? One versus four. He came down the hatch. Now, the GK comes during this round was that he had input, because he just seemed to be absolutely everywhere, knowing exactly when they were going to plant everywhere at once.

05:32:08.760 --> 05:32:20.360
It was just pure gain sense on his front. Gets it down to one versus one, and then gets the fuse off from inside of West Main without being, you know, exposed to any of the vertical. Absolutely huge clutch from him.

05:32:20.360 --> 05:32:21.460
He keeps his team in it.

05:32:21.460 --> 05:32:22.880
Such a good player as a reminder.

05:32:22.880 --> 05:32:25.760
It's a player that made his debut not that far ago.

05:32:25.760 --> 05:32:28.080
It was only a couple years ago that he arrived in the ML.

05:32:28.080 --> 05:32:30.240
He was already so strong on their side.

05:32:30.240 --> 05:32:32.360
And it goes to show if you're here to come to momentum

05:32:32.360 --> 05:32:34.080
on their side whenever he did that.

05:32:34.080 --> 05:32:36.960
I will say this though, this was the best side for Rebels.

05:32:36.960 --> 05:32:39.440
When they switched to attack, it's not the same story at all.

05:32:39.440 --> 05:32:40.880
They've always struggled with it.

05:32:40.880 --> 05:32:42.920
There is one common factor between the two of them.

05:32:42.920 --> 05:32:43.920
It's hesitation.

05:32:43.920 --> 05:32:46.440
Hesitation for GK means that in so many of these rounds,

05:32:46.440 --> 05:32:47.520
they get the opening engagement.

05:32:47.520 --> 05:32:49.000
And in these later on situations,

05:32:49.000 --> 05:32:50.160
they take the wrong decision.

05:32:50.160 --> 05:32:53.520
Arguably the clutch from Gruby should have not have been on their way

05:32:53.520 --> 05:32:59.400
They should have lost that one because they hesitated in the execute same thing happened in that clutch ago from ASAP because they hesitated

05:32:59.400 --> 05:33:02.940
And that's a problem that rebels find themselves as well when they're in attack

05:33:03.360 --> 05:33:10.160
Hesitation is killing their victory basically and so there's one thing that we need to see from them is decision decision making this to happen

05:33:10.160 --> 05:33:11.240
I wonder if it would come out

05:33:11.240 --> 05:33:17.160
I wondered if the band would come out because we're not in DK play this map at least twice maybe even three times

05:33:17.160 --> 05:33:19.120
How many times have we seen Gruby on Castle?

05:33:19.120 --> 05:33:24.080
just most of it to be honest all the time most of it and it is so effective and the reason it's so

05:33:24.080 --> 05:33:28.320
effective is because it just cuts some of those key lines aside and it forces people to play close

05:33:28.320 --> 05:33:32.480
to it or bring a hard breacher which you don't necessarily need on Shelly so if you're playing

05:33:32.480 --> 05:33:35.600
close to it and you're soft breaching it then you've got to physically put something there you

05:33:35.600 --> 05:33:39.600
can have a playmate on you or you've got to bring a banner on A which aren't always available or you

05:33:39.600 --> 05:33:43.600
don't always want to play on the top so I've been waiting for a team to ban it away from go bait

05:33:43.600 --> 05:33:47.520
rebels have finally done it yeah which could maybe be the key for them to win attack and rounds we

05:33:47.520 --> 05:33:52.680
we talked about that Delta being so big and really favoring the defense. So for Rebels,

05:33:52.680 --> 05:33:54.880
the hardest side on Shelly is up next.

05:33:54.880 --> 05:34:00.640
Thank you very much guys, indeed it is going to be that hard a side to play their way through

05:34:00.640 --> 05:34:04.760
but Rebels have much of it his last time Tim that got to show real power on the attacking

05:34:04.760 --> 05:34:09.280
side and as the guys alluded to, we saw a lot of group playing against him yesterday, he

05:34:09.280 --> 05:34:13.280
loves playing the operationist Matt when things like Mira and his army are banned away so then

05:34:13.280 --> 05:34:17.000
here we'll force a little bit of difference out of the other side.

05:34:17.000 --> 05:34:20.000
You know, we'll keep an eye on

05:34:20.000 --> 05:34:22.000
Group B and see exactly what

05:34:22.000 --> 05:34:24.000
he's got with Denari this time,

05:34:24.000 --> 05:34:25.000
but we'll see.

05:34:25.000 --> 05:34:26.000
It's more where he's playing,

05:34:26.000 --> 05:34:27.000
particularly that interests me,

05:34:27.000 --> 05:34:28.000
as well.

05:34:28.000 --> 05:34:29.000
You know, we saw yesterday those

05:34:29.000 --> 05:34:31.000
great escapes from him just in

05:34:31.000 --> 05:34:33.000
that spot between Bathroom and

05:34:33.000 --> 05:34:34.000
Solar on that, that, you know,

05:34:34.000 --> 05:34:35.000
he was just unmovable.

05:34:35.000 --> 05:34:37.000
I think he soaked up three nades

05:34:37.000 --> 05:34:39.000
at one point, was on his belly

05:34:39.000 --> 05:34:40.000
to stop somebody shooting him.

05:34:40.000 --> 05:34:41.000
Five?

05:34:41.000 --> 05:34:42.000
Five?

05:34:42.000 --> 05:34:43.000
Yeah, there was just no

05:34:43.000 --> 05:34:44.000
getting to him.

05:34:44.000 --> 05:34:45.000
So we'll keep an eye on Group B

05:34:45.000 --> 05:34:46.000
and see exactly where he's

05:34:46.000 --> 05:34:49.520
I'm just looking at the holders for rebels as well on the attack of shally

05:34:49.520 --> 05:34:55.600
I have 47% win rate they do tend to turn better on the defense than they do on the attack

05:34:55.600 --> 05:35:00.520
So there is still an opportunity for GK here early challenge comes in

05:35:00.520 --> 05:35:04.400
Asked man just to get what he is surrounded was always going to be taken down

05:35:04.400 --> 05:35:09.920
But look who he took out with him. It's Linko gone and he's got the grin. Great start for GK

05:35:10.760 --> 05:35:15.240
Yeah, definitely good for when the later on comes in they're trying to push into certain parts of the map or into walled site

05:35:15.240 --> 05:35:19.160
the Grim being offline would be massive for them. One of the stat we didn't really get a chance to

05:35:19.160 --> 05:35:23.000
speak about before we jump back into this was this actually mirrors very closely to the last

05:35:23.000 --> 05:35:27.960
game as well and in those first six rounds we have multi kills in five of the six rounds. So if

05:35:27.960 --> 05:35:32.280
you've noticed what that means a 3k or better, a lens in round one, a u-frame round three,

05:35:32.280 --> 05:35:36.600
Fedo and Astro in four and five, Astro at 4k in round six. We even have one clutch last time,

05:35:36.600 --> 05:35:39.800
we've got one clutch here granted it was the most better clutch this time in a one before,

05:35:39.800 --> 05:35:43.880
but the parallels to the last time they played, it's quite scary how well it's tracking so far.

05:36:15.240 --> 05:36:22.540
utility to clear. They're not in a position to even, you know, consider putting the diffuser down and we're down to 50 seconds.

05:36:22.540 --> 05:36:27.340
Two of them, at least one of them needs to get inside of the map to help us are out.

05:36:27.840 --> 05:36:30.340
It's going to be a very nervy finish for them, I think.

05:36:31.840 --> 05:36:35.440
I'm just going to say, I love this for the thought and say, control of Groovy's favourite spot.

05:36:36.240 --> 05:36:38.140
Inside of Solar, Tux in behind the pillar.

05:36:38.340 --> 05:36:41.640
And if he had, he would have been dead to the right since that floor, as you've seen, they're already been blown out.

05:36:41.640 --> 05:36:44.840
Not for a point of the trigger there, so I was feeling about a freebie on towards Mato.

05:36:44.840 --> 05:36:48.240
As for the elsewhere to find one for himself and start his march on forward.

05:36:48.240 --> 05:36:51.740
Does he know about Groovy? He does, but does not manage to hit the shot.

05:36:51.740 --> 05:36:53.040
3-0-2.

05:36:53.040 --> 05:36:54.840
Looking a little bit ropey here for Rebels, Simmers.

05:36:54.840 --> 05:36:57.540
Now we're in a 1-b-3, all to do for Mato.

05:36:57.540 --> 05:36:59.840
GK starting the half off strong.

05:36:59.840 --> 05:37:02.040
Yeah, it just felt a little bit separate.

05:37:02.040 --> 05:37:04.840
It's not to say that Mato isn't able to win this day.

05:37:04.840 --> 05:37:08.640
You know, we've seen him win the biggest culture stage 1 without question.

05:37:08.640 --> 05:37:25.640
I think it's fairly unlikely now three seconds. I don't think that he's not gonna get anything and I think GK have played that round as a team much more than Rebels did. So Rebels had Mato out on bathroom window. They've got a lens on the ink on double window. He's sending Candela's in. That creates a little bit of space for

05:37:25.640 --> 05:37:29.460
of space for us to move up the

05:37:29.460 --> 05:37:31.460
stairs. But as a even though he

05:37:31.460 --> 05:37:33.460
gets a kill, he's always kind

05:37:33.460 --> 05:37:34.460
of isolated in that position

05:37:34.460 --> 05:37:36.460
because nobody's inside of the

05:37:36.460 --> 05:37:38.460
map to help him. You know, as

05:37:38.460 --> 05:37:40.460
soon as he moves past the bathroom,

05:37:40.460 --> 05:37:42.460
if effectively, he loses that

05:37:42.460 --> 05:37:44.460
support from his teammates on

05:37:44.460 --> 05:37:46.460
those windows because they don't

05:37:46.460 --> 05:37:48.460
really have angles any deeper

05:37:48.460 --> 05:37:50.460
into sites. Or you play maybe

05:37:50.460 --> 05:37:52.460
the user down instead inside of

05:37:52.460 --> 05:37:54.460
there. But because they haven't

05:37:54.460 --> 05:37:59.580
that. So GK, I just think had those angles, had those positions locked down a little better.

05:37:59.580 --> 05:38:06.140
I saw the vision from Rebels. I just don't think that they were really, you know, in the positions

05:38:06.140 --> 05:38:11.500
or kind of playing strongly and if they needed another body inside of the map to help pass her

05:38:11.500 --> 05:38:17.740
out there, or a way to deal with Ruby and clearing, but it just wasn't to be. GK, get their first

05:38:17.740 --> 05:38:24.220
defense. And Tim, if we find ourselves seeing the entry go the way GK missed around the parallels

05:38:24.220 --> 05:38:29.500
the last time continued because once again we've seen a perfect snap match the last time.

05:38:29.500 --> 05:38:33.100
Seven of the eight entry kills would have gone to GK as they did the last time these

05:38:33.100 --> 05:38:38.460
two teams played on this map. It's been six in a row now for GK. The early round has been all

05:38:38.460 --> 05:38:42.300
them rebels who struggled to fight back in a lot of them. They did at least a nice throw at the

05:38:42.300 --> 05:38:45.820
schools too and get it onto their side as well as scores because they're relatively tight.

05:38:45.820 --> 05:38:50.380
But I do worry that if they're carrying it the case they are. GK will start to run away with this

05:38:50.380 --> 05:38:54.940
the same way they did last time around, it was a 5-1 defensive half to GK and dare I say it feels

05:38:54.940 --> 05:38:59.260
like we're going down that same road again. You can only play 4B drive for so long you're

05:38:59.260 --> 05:39:04.220
absolutely right before it starts to take its toll you know before you feel like you're always on

05:39:04.220 --> 05:39:08.940
that back foot and especially on the attack when you're losing the last time it was grim you know

05:39:08.940 --> 05:39:13.900
let's see if it happens again and they lose out on the entry which operator do they lose is it

05:39:13.900 --> 05:39:17.980
you know is it the cup of tea this time with all that utility that comes along is it going to be

05:39:17.980 --> 05:39:19.980
you know, you're losing so much

05:39:19.980 --> 05:39:21.980
in terms of your attack at the

05:39:21.980 --> 05:39:23.980
beginning. If that entry doesn't

05:39:23.980 --> 05:39:25.980
go your way. So a minute in

05:39:25.980 --> 05:39:27.980
rebels are applying some caution

05:39:27.980 --> 05:39:29.980
here, certainly not throwing

05:39:29.980 --> 05:39:31.980
themselves into the map. Menos

05:39:31.980 --> 05:39:33.980
the only one inside at the

05:39:33.980 --> 05:39:35.980
minute. Not really. He's on the

05:39:35.980 --> 05:39:37.980
balcony. Manages to find his

05:39:37.980 --> 05:39:39.980
killed towards the inside,

05:39:39.980 --> 05:39:41.980
though, and that's people rebels.

05:39:41.980 --> 05:39:43.980
They get the entry. They don't

05:39:43.980 --> 05:39:45.980
lose that early body. It's

05:39:45.980 --> 05:39:47.980
I think that's a good start for them.

05:39:47.980 --> 05:39:49.980
Group 8 does find an answer.

05:39:49.980 --> 05:39:50.980
Nitro on to Kapitow.

05:39:50.980 --> 05:39:53.980
I said what utility are they going to lose in those early kills

05:39:53.980 --> 05:39:56.980
and it is some big utility with the Kapitow.

05:39:56.980 --> 05:39:58.980
Very consistently it's been that as well, right?

05:39:58.980 --> 05:39:59.980
Like we've seen Grim going down,

05:39:59.980 --> 05:40:01.980
which is the Kapitow going down.

05:40:01.980 --> 05:40:02.980
It's been key operators.

05:40:02.980 --> 05:40:04.980
Not like you pick up a lock and IQ or something.

05:40:04.980 --> 05:40:06.980
It's not too bothered about losing overall.

05:40:06.980 --> 05:40:07.980
Yeah, a bit of a nuisance,

05:40:07.980 --> 05:40:10.980
but losing these bigger operators that are focused on your execute,

05:40:10.980 --> 05:40:11.980
I think is real stinger.

05:40:11.980 --> 05:40:13.980
Now for now, as you've just seen,

05:40:13.980 --> 05:40:14.980
there's still a little bit of control going on upstairs.

05:40:14.980 --> 05:40:18.420
on upstairs. I'm not in an awful spot so let's get the teaser from top main.

05:40:18.420 --> 05:40:22.660
This spot where they're softening things up, he saw this back in the first half where GK

05:40:22.660 --> 05:40:26.180
didn't have enough vertical destruction to stifle out everyone on the side of the level

05:40:26.180 --> 05:40:30.980
to lead, so you're asked to be in level 1 vs 3. Sword needed a killer since I never asked

05:40:30.980 --> 05:40:34.340
to speak at the level. Light is straight down, somebody needs to find everything right now.

05:40:34.340 --> 05:40:36.580
Throw it at him at once, he's coming way on top.

05:40:36.580 --> 05:40:47.620
this round. I'm not sure. I

05:40:47.620 --> 05:40:50.620
can ask yoga manages to find

05:40:50.620 --> 05:40:52.680
Fenor takes and get 3B to the

05:40:52.680 --> 05:40:54.620
world and he's on his belly.

05:40:54.620 --> 05:40:56.220
L. A's is going to find

05:40:56.220 --> 05:40:57.620
Groobie takes him down to be

05:40:57.620 --> 05:40:58.620
to this round like a rubber

05:40:58.620 --> 05:41:00.620
band back and forward. You

05:41:00.620 --> 05:41:02.620
poor finds the trade to versus

05:41:02.620 --> 05:41:03.620
one yoga full health on the

05:41:03.620 --> 05:41:05.620
warden, so he's not going to

05:41:05.620 --> 05:41:09.620
to get the kill. It's going to

05:41:09.620 --> 05:41:11.620
be GK taking another. That's

05:41:11.620 --> 05:41:13.620
53 now, and they're starting to

05:41:13.620 --> 05:41:15.620
find that little bit of space. On

05:41:15.620 --> 05:41:17.620
one of their favorite maps,

05:41:17.620 --> 05:41:19.620
shall we? It's where I was a bit

05:41:19.620 --> 05:41:20.620
worried again. The parallels the

05:41:20.620 --> 05:41:21.620
last time are a bit too obvious

05:41:21.620 --> 05:41:22.620
and not all that much can change.

05:41:22.620 --> 05:41:24.620
I don't think we saw GK have that

05:41:24.620 --> 05:41:26.620
51 defensive half last time the

05:41:26.620 --> 05:41:27.620
building towards it now, and I

05:41:27.620 --> 05:41:28.620
said it when we were at the three

05:41:28.620 --> 05:41:29.620
to school and for rebels. They

05:41:29.620 --> 05:41:30.620
don't have brilliant clutch off

05:41:30.620 --> 05:41:32.620
the back of us. Sure, but I was

05:41:32.620 --> 05:41:33.620
nervous about what happened to

05:41:33.620 --> 05:41:38.000
So sure, but I was nervous about what happened when we got into the second half and we saw them on the attack

05:41:38.000 --> 05:41:40.480
And we're seeing exactly what I was worried about here

05:41:40.480 --> 05:41:44.420
A little bit of coherence as they're coming out as a team and it's weird because on the desk before the game

05:41:44.420 --> 05:41:47.800
We were speaking about the very very fair point. It's all a horizontal interview for example

05:41:47.800 --> 05:41:52.580
GK likes to play that more like lurky style game like admittedly on the defensive side as far as the play lurk

05:41:52.580 --> 05:41:54.920
It's more of an attacking term when you say someone's lurking

05:41:54.920 --> 05:41:59.260
But you just expect Rebels to be able to tie things up here in the same way they've tried to the first half

05:41:59.260 --> 05:42:02.360
To try and play more as a unit and be able to contest in groups

05:42:02.360 --> 05:42:21.360
I say here in the second half, it couldn't look anymore, just great if they tried, you have one player trying to go on to repel, while we had a lens pushing his way down main stairs and looking for kills, I was a little bit like, can we bunch up a little bit, boys are not going too crazy here, they just really got a tight bit to put things on the attacking side, this is where it's falling apart, it's not playing as a scene and it's only going to keep on costing them rounds.

05:42:51.360 --> 05:42:53.160
the game. The one that's

05:42:53.360 --> 05:42:54.860
I'm not sure if you can find

05:42:54.960 --> 05:42:56.260
the one that's been in the

05:42:56.360 --> 05:42:57.260
game for a while, but it's

05:42:57.360 --> 05:42:58.260
going to be a tough one to

05:42:58.360 --> 05:42:59.260
work with in touch in distance.

05:42:59.360 --> 05:43:00.260
So if they get this one, there

05:43:00.360 --> 05:43:01.260
will only be one round between

05:43:01.360 --> 05:43:04.860
them. So. Although despite

05:43:04.960 --> 05:43:06.260
GK's best efforts, it is still

05:43:06.360 --> 05:43:07.260
five versus five of them. So

05:43:07.360 --> 05:43:08.260
there's a lot of damage on him,

05:43:08.360 --> 05:43:09.260
and if we have a quick look

05:43:09.360 --> 05:43:11.260
across from nobody in the

05:43:11.360 --> 05:43:13.260
building yet for rebels 45

05:43:13.360 --> 05:43:15.260
seconds into the round until

05:43:15.360 --> 05:43:17.260
Martau takes himself into

05:43:17.360 --> 05:43:19.260
basement. Very common CS

05:43:19.260 --> 05:43:21.260
I'm afraid he's giving himself

05:43:21.260 --> 05:43:23.260
away and now Martin close range.

05:43:23.260 --> 05:43:25.260
We can't even find it. Ask

05:43:25.260 --> 05:43:27.260
up one of his own turns out his

05:43:27.260 --> 05:43:29.260
shot covers a little bit better.

05:43:29.260 --> 05:43:31.260
It'll be a flawless round for

05:43:31.260 --> 05:43:33.260
GK and once again, Tim, it feels

05:43:33.260 --> 05:43:35.260
like rebels are just starting to crumble.

05:43:35.260 --> 05:43:37.260
That's four in a row. They've lost now.

05:43:37.260 --> 05:43:39.260
Yeah, I love that aggression from

05:43:39.260 --> 05:43:41.260
ask there. Of course he was heard,

05:43:41.260 --> 05:43:43.260
but he's got sledge coming

05:43:43.260 --> 05:43:45.260
towards you. He's not the quietest

05:43:45.260 --> 05:43:47.260
of operators. I don't ask just

05:43:47.260 --> 05:43:50.960
the team. I'm going to be

05:43:50.960 --> 05:43:52.860
going to be the first to get

05:43:52.860 --> 05:43:54.420
this fight on my own terms.

05:43:54.420 --> 05:43:55.920
Steps out gets the kill with

05:43:55.920 --> 05:43:57.220
the shotgun. Beautiful stuff

05:43:57.220 --> 05:43:59.320
and his team just accelerate

05:43:59.320 --> 05:44:01.160
towards the line from their

05:44:01.160 --> 05:44:03.320
63 then three map points

05:44:03.320 --> 05:44:05.020
coming up for GK to get

05:44:05.020 --> 05:44:06.960
themselves off to a strong

05:44:06.960 --> 05:44:08.520
start to remind everybody of

05:44:08.520 --> 05:44:10.020
what's at stake here. The

05:44:10.020 --> 05:44:11.660
winner goes through to the

05:44:11.660 --> 05:44:13.460
Esports World Cup. That will

05:44:13.460 --> 05:44:15.020
round out our fourth team.

05:44:15.020 --> 05:44:16.660
They will join Falcons,

05:44:16.660 --> 05:44:24.300
winner, the loser will not be able to make it to the east. What's welcome there will be no second chances. They will just go on to

05:44:24.460 --> 05:44:26.580
being as a fifth place playoff at that point.

05:44:28.100 --> 05:44:30.900
Absolutely. You only heard the der speaking about it a little bit, but

05:44:31.540 --> 05:44:37.100
Of course, got the worry about the S.I. Point. It's the D.P. from running towards us. It's wise and ported yes to win here and now make it into

05:44:37.100 --> 05:44:42.060
EWC, but also to make a good run here through the overall bracket. Not forgetting, of course,

05:44:42.060 --> 05:44:45.580
other teams to play against, should roll on through the win with this one against the

05:44:45.580 --> 05:44:49.180
Nathik, then you've got your course, Alcans waiting, you've got Verdes, Pryo waiting.

05:44:49.180 --> 05:44:53.140
So Vicky is waiting there and the points to the winner I think is 420, finished in fourth

05:44:53.140 --> 05:44:58.620
place, you get 200, so it can be quite different and you and I remember all too well Tim, BDS

05:44:58.620 --> 05:45:03.780
back in the day, missing out on an SI by five points, DRX, just going to show that as the

05:45:03.780 --> 05:45:08.140
position you can get, every point that you can scrap over the line, it can count.

05:45:08.140 --> 05:45:10.140
It really, really does.

05:45:10.140 --> 05:45:12.140
When it comes down to you being

05:45:12.140 --> 05:45:14.140
amazed at how close these things

05:45:14.140 --> 05:45:16.140
end up year after year.

05:45:16.140 --> 05:45:18.140
It's like relegated on gold

05:45:18.140 --> 05:45:20.140
difference in the Prem.

05:45:20.140 --> 05:45:22.140
Yeah, it really is.

05:45:22.140 --> 05:45:24.140
He's feeling himself

05:45:24.140 --> 05:45:26.140
9 and 5. He's having a great game

05:45:26.140 --> 05:45:28.140
so far, by the way. Today's

05:45:28.140 --> 05:45:30.140
really solid.

05:45:30.140 --> 05:45:32.140
You were not happy. You were not

05:45:32.140 --> 05:45:34.140
happy yesterday with that.

05:45:34.140 --> 05:45:36.140
You ask for better and ask

05:45:36.140 --> 05:45:42.140
Well, can't be complaining, certainly given the good power you parry all the time, I had

05:45:42.140 --> 05:45:46.140
him on the fight to play it yesterday. They're doing good and Nade in the corner, can he

05:45:46.140 --> 05:45:51.340
tuck in? He can indeed, for now he's still here. He had to try and find a kill, but

05:45:51.340 --> 05:45:55.140
Linku knows it's all too well, so back away, get behind the shield and let the Nade do

05:45:55.140 --> 05:45:56.140
the job.

05:45:56.140 --> 05:46:01.060
Asked actually got really unlucky there, he springs into action on that window and he

05:46:01.060 --> 05:46:03.300
He shoots right in the correct place.

05:46:03.300 --> 05:46:06.020
If it's anybody other than Blitz, he gets killed.

05:46:06.020 --> 05:46:09.300
He gets a kill and he escapes, but it just wasn't to be.

05:46:09.300 --> 05:46:10.740
He knew that he was in trouble.

05:46:10.740 --> 05:46:13.180
And as soon as he pops out, it's one of those moments

05:46:13.180 --> 05:46:15.700
that he knew he'd made a mistake.

05:46:15.700 --> 05:46:17.780
And the shield was right there in his face,

05:46:17.780 --> 05:46:18.980
and it was a big problem.

05:46:18.980 --> 05:46:20.660
So a good start for Rebels.

05:46:20.660 --> 05:46:22.980
They get themselves at least that early pick.

05:46:22.980 --> 05:46:25.900
Five versus four, a minute 30 left on the clock.

05:46:25.900 --> 05:46:28.300
They can start chasing down socks

05:46:28.300 --> 05:46:30.020
inside of big garage now as well.

05:46:30.020 --> 05:46:31.700
noise position but he does have an

05:46:31.700 --> 05:46:33.460
nitro so the blitz needs to be a little

05:46:33.460 --> 05:46:36.020
bit careful. We've also seen the shotguns

05:46:36.020 --> 05:46:38.580
doing really well against blitz over

05:46:38.580 --> 05:46:40.100
the last couple of days. We saw it in

05:46:40.100 --> 05:46:42.500
that fanatic game if you remember stomping

05:46:42.500 --> 05:46:44.500
it was when he was pushing onto freezer

05:46:44.500 --> 05:46:46.100
Deepak managed to hit him with the shotgun

05:46:46.100 --> 05:46:48.020
and we've seen that a few times. Very

05:46:48.020 --> 05:46:50.340
effective at picking up the damage on

05:46:50.340 --> 05:46:53.140
these operators.

05:46:53.140 --> 05:46:54.900
I was facing the front doors a couple of

05:46:54.900 --> 05:46:56.500
times now it's the reverse four when it

05:46:56.500 --> 05:46:58.020
was groovy pushing into here but a

05:46:58.020 --> 05:47:01.220
to be on to Marso this time round.

05:47:01.220 --> 05:47:03.580
Of course, it's rebels looking to get control of that upstairs.

05:47:04.220 --> 05:47:06.660
So I do hear he starts to go towards the side.

05:47:06.660 --> 05:47:10.140
This year was waiting for ready patients of the state there from Marso.

05:47:10.140 --> 05:47:11.820
Who be also does get fellow, though.

05:47:11.820 --> 05:47:15.020
So they could have been a five person street in that gap still stays at one.

05:47:15.140 --> 05:47:18.260
And just like that, it gets turned on its head once again.

05:47:18.660 --> 05:47:19.060
What is it?

05:47:19.060 --> 05:47:21.660
The attack is not being able to hold on to a lead on this map, Tim.

05:47:22.180 --> 05:47:23.740
Yes, I've been tough for them.

05:47:23.740 --> 05:47:25.460
And it's a tough for us as well.

05:47:25.460 --> 05:47:30.340
So I'm just gonna say, GK can just kind of drop back and take the fights as they come.

05:47:30.340 --> 05:47:33.620
They don't need to, they just get them as they are.

05:47:33.620 --> 05:47:37.460
Pick up the final one inside the fireplace, that's gonna be 7-3.

05:47:37.460 --> 05:47:40.900
It quick, smart win for GK on Shallie.

05:47:41.620 --> 05:47:43.460
Everything very optimistic about this one,

05:47:43.460 --> 05:47:46.260
Tina, 7-3 performers like that going into a mountain valley.

05:47:46.260 --> 05:47:49.380
Anyone who's seen you play, Cafe is gonna have fireworks.

05:47:49.380 --> 05:47:51.140
We'll see you in just a few.

05:48:25.460 --> 05:48:27.460
Give me the ashes!

05:48:27.460 --> 05:48:28.460
You're mine!

05:48:28.460 --> 05:48:30.460
Give me the ashes!

05:48:30.460 --> 05:48:32.460
Lights! Lights!

05:48:32.460 --> 05:48:33.460
Camera! Kill!

05:48:33.460 --> 05:48:35.460
Give me the ashes!

05:48:35.460 --> 05:48:37.460
Give me the ashes!

05:54:25.460 --> 05:54:55.380
GK go flawless on their defenses and then I find them

05:54:55.380 --> 05:55:01.380
themselves on map points to make it to EWC. What a great half we just saw from Geeky.

05:55:01.380 --> 05:55:04.380
In particular, there was nothing that Rebels could do about it.

05:55:04.380 --> 05:55:08.380
No, and it's exactly what we feared, Jack. We feared that all the five Rebels could

05:55:08.380 --> 05:55:12.380
put. The only moment they could really contend with Geeky was when they were in defense.

05:55:12.380 --> 05:55:15.380
Because in defense, their game plan is pretty sound. In defense, they all get aggressive

05:55:15.380 --> 05:55:19.380
and they will feel that confidence. In defense, they can trade each other. They can have those

05:55:19.380 --> 05:55:24.380
big clutches. But on attack, they need to coordinate stuff. They need to have a deeper

05:55:24.380 --> 05:55:27.500
you can feel it. And that's something that they clearly don't have being against Geeky.

05:55:27.500 --> 05:55:31.580
And even then, the defenders didn't look that great. Relied on one clutch, also relied on

05:55:31.580 --> 05:55:35.340
the fact that they had to ban away the Monty. Whenever Geeky will play the Monty and unify

05:55:35.340 --> 05:55:39.420
behind the shield, it really, really struggled for Rebels. So I'm very, very fearful. I think

05:55:39.420 --> 05:55:43.980
for Geeky, the one thing that I was actually impressed by was yesterday, and I forgot a

05:55:43.980 --> 05:55:47.500
lot of the stage all we've seen is lurk, lurk, lurk. And yes, we did see lots of that today

05:55:47.500 --> 05:55:50.380
when they were on their attacks, but they did have those rounds with it. They were playing

05:55:50.380 --> 05:55:54.940
behind them onto playing more for a cross player, more playing for a plant, which is another

05:55:54.940 --> 05:55:59.500
layer that we haven't necessarily seen from them yet. And then as soon as they got onto

05:55:59.500 --> 05:56:03.820
their defenders, they were just capitalizing it, identifying the 1v1s. Look at all these

05:56:03.820 --> 05:56:07.500
engagements, the lack of refrags, the lack of team players coming out from Rebels. When

05:56:07.500 --> 05:56:12.620
that happens, you give the advantage to the defenders. You just give them easy 1v1s because

05:56:12.620 --> 05:56:16.740
they've got the powerful positions, they've got the utility to play behind, and they will

05:56:16.740 --> 05:56:21.380
punish you forward. And GK is exactly good at that, at just that punishing them, right?

05:56:21.380 --> 05:56:24.220
How many of these rounds? Just pay attention to Gruby, meaning these two gamefights on

05:56:24.220 --> 05:56:28.820
Denary by the way. It seemed basically picking these guys, but on top of that you always

05:56:28.820 --> 05:56:32.580
see another defender ready to double up on him. And what a great game from Gruby once

05:56:32.580 --> 05:56:37.740
again. I know we've talked about Gruby's resurgence throughout the stage, but it's actually incredible

05:56:37.740 --> 05:56:41.700
to see the consistency of it. There is one thing to do during a B01 in the stage, but

05:56:41.700 --> 05:56:46.100
the fact that he's done it across the six win streak they've had, and then continues

05:56:46.100 --> 05:56:52.100
to do it yesterday, bring the playoff, and again today when EWC is on the line, you have

05:56:52.100 --> 05:56:56.420
to play this player, right? He formed his way through tier 2, he grinded his way and

05:56:56.420 --> 05:57:01.260
then had to go back to tier 1. What a great pick up here. Great to see him and U4 as well,

05:57:01.260 --> 05:57:06.340
the two from Team Retic, the two tier 2 players carrying their team into this one.

05:57:06.340 --> 05:57:10.340
Yeah, looking at that player in particular as well, you know, a big, big step up for

05:57:10.340 --> 05:57:13.780
him there from yesterday, going into today really.

05:57:13.780 --> 05:57:16.620
Yeah, I mean, we said it, right, against VP.

05:57:16.620 --> 05:57:19.620
U4 was basically the only weak link, really, from that lineup.

05:57:19.620 --> 05:57:20.620
I love his craft, Fritz.

05:57:20.620 --> 05:57:21.620
Yeah.

05:57:21.620 --> 05:57:23.740
He was struggling a little bit.

05:57:23.740 --> 05:57:25.220
He felt like he was pressured.

05:57:25.220 --> 05:57:31.180
He played a lot of these positions that were where he was getting tripled utility by VP.

05:57:31.180 --> 05:57:34.500
And I think that right now, today, we're starting to see him show up.

05:57:34.500 --> 05:57:36.540
We're starting to see the potential in this player.

05:57:36.540 --> 05:57:38.980
And just at the right time, he comes alive.

05:57:38.980 --> 05:57:40.140
One EWC is on the line.

05:57:40.140 --> 05:57:41.380
There's always been a play of that as well.

05:57:41.380 --> 05:57:46.520
I think we've seen you put now on multiple tier one rosters, not for long stints in any of them really.

05:57:46.520 --> 05:57:51.680
I think Habi probably gives a little bit too much to the team in terms of personal strength.

05:57:51.680 --> 05:57:58.180
He will often play in the trickier positions or the trickier operators, but when push comes to shove, he does have raw talent with him as well.

05:57:58.180 --> 05:58:05.920
And with him stepping up, if we add in the another ingredient, looking at the map Vito, with the map that we have next for us in this Vesta 3,

05:58:05.920 --> 05:58:11.280
that means we have a GK, not big, right? Yeah. That means that then rebels get to pick their

05:58:11.280 --> 05:58:15.280
stuff. Rebels. Yeah, Rebels, my big story. Yeah. So that means that GK, then gets to pick their

05:58:15.280 --> 05:58:18.720
sorting site. And of course, they will pick defense. Um, and we did just see quite a

05:58:18.720 --> 05:58:23.120
tacky sided cafe between fantastic and G two, but we're not going to see necessarily that

05:58:23.120 --> 05:58:28.000
between GK and rebels. Let me remind you of the graphic that we showed all the way back

05:58:28.000 --> 05:58:33.680
at the start of this game. Rebels are the biggest defense crutch team in all of the ML. They have

05:58:33.680 --> 05:58:39.520
almost a 20, almost a 30% percentage differential between their attack and defence win rate.

05:58:39.520 --> 05:58:42.480
That will have only gone further by the way because when they played on cellay they won

05:58:42.480 --> 05:58:46.040
three defences, they got 50% defence win rate but they didn't win a single attack.

05:58:46.040 --> 05:58:49.160
Now they're going on to cafe, there is a map that you need to be confident on the attacks

05:58:49.160 --> 05:58:52.400
on for a team that isn't confident attacking, I worry Leo.

05:58:52.400 --> 05:58:57.120
Yeah, 0% attack win rate, attacking on cellay, one of the easiest map to attack in the meta,

05:58:57.120 --> 05:59:01.200
one of the easiest map where you can problem solve strongholds easily, you have to do it

05:59:01.200 --> 05:59:02.200
on cafe.

05:59:02.200 --> 05:59:05.800
much much stronger map for defense with a lot of crossfairs and a lot of utility

05:59:05.800 --> 05:59:09.000
laid in front of you. It's gonna be a rough one especially mentally to come

05:59:09.000 --> 05:59:13.080
back from it. It sounds like a dangerous recipe honestly individual players

05:59:13.080 --> 05:59:18.160
stepping up plus GK starting on their better side on cafe but can they cook?

05:59:18.160 --> 05:59:25.000
Cafe will tell us. Can they cook Tim? When it blend we're gonna find out all these

05:59:25.000 --> 05:59:29.400
cooking related culinary questions will be answered in the next half an hour or

05:59:29.400 --> 05:59:35.140
So and of course the one answer that you care looking for is the one that sees them walking away with the map win and making it to

05:59:35.140 --> 05:59:36.200
EWC

05:59:36.200 --> 05:59:41.600
Rebels have got to fight their way back in but better say to them the audience is still as split as we are

05:59:47.040 --> 05:59:49.040
Tim

05:59:49.040 --> 05:59:52.920
It's a really tough one to call. There's I think GK carries

05:59:56.120 --> 05:59:58.120
You won't be worthy yeah, brilliant

05:59:59.400 --> 06:00:01.400
I'm not sure if you can see it,

06:00:01.400 --> 06:00:03.400
but it's just giving me buttons.

06:00:03.400 --> 06:00:04.400
It's going to be tough to call.

06:00:04.400 --> 06:00:06.400
You know that old man to come out

06:00:06.400 --> 06:00:07.400
as soon as I like putting that

06:00:07.400 --> 06:00:08.400
tape over your keyboard.

06:00:08.400 --> 06:00:10.400
You can only press like one key on it at a time.

06:00:10.400 --> 06:00:11.400
It's going to have to be put over

06:00:11.400 --> 06:00:13.400
every button on the remote control.

06:00:13.400 --> 06:00:15.400
Apart from on off and volume up a day.

06:00:15.400 --> 06:00:17.400
For your birthday, that is exactly

06:00:17.400 --> 06:00:18.400
what I'm getting you, a keyboard

06:00:18.400 --> 06:00:19.400
and a mouse.

06:00:19.400 --> 06:00:20.400
Well, only like the left mouse button

06:00:20.400 --> 06:00:21.400
is left available.

06:00:21.400 --> 06:00:22.400
And all the keys, except for like

06:00:22.400 --> 06:00:24.400
your name, are blocked out as well.

06:00:24.400 --> 06:00:25.400
It'd be brilliant.

06:00:25.400 --> 06:00:27.400
It's a difficult one to call.

06:00:27.400 --> 06:00:29.400
really good momentum in here

06:00:29.400 --> 06:00:31.400
from shall we? It was a good

06:00:31.400 --> 06:00:33.400
performance. Just typically in

06:00:33.400 --> 06:00:35.400
that second half really, really

06:00:35.400 --> 06:00:37.400
nice from them. They were on the,

06:00:37.400 --> 06:00:39.400
you know, defense there. They're

06:00:39.400 --> 06:00:41.400
coming on the defense again, so

06:00:41.400 --> 06:00:43.400
maybe that gets them rolling. We

06:00:43.400 --> 06:00:45.400
know that cafes pretty good for

06:00:45.400 --> 06:00:47.400
attacking as well. But just

06:00:47.400 --> 06:00:49.400
having what the other interesting

06:00:49.400 --> 06:00:51.400
point for is that we haven't

06:00:51.400 --> 06:00:53.400
seen and I'm sure this has been

06:00:53.400 --> 06:00:55.400
meant. We haven't seen DK

06:00:55.400 --> 06:00:59.400
three times in the last half.

06:00:59.400 --> 06:01:00.400
You know, April onwards, they've

06:01:00.400 --> 06:01:02.400
played here three times. So,

06:01:02.400 --> 06:01:03.400
this footage available from, you

06:01:03.400 --> 06:01:05.400
know, for not a huge amount, but

06:01:05.400 --> 06:01:07.400
enough. Whereas, GK, you've got

06:01:07.400 --> 06:01:09.400
to go in in mind here. You don't

06:01:09.400 --> 06:01:10.400
necessarily see rebels. Not

06:01:10.400 --> 06:01:11.400
exactly what they're going to be

06:01:11.400 --> 06:01:12.400
bringing to the table. So, you

06:01:12.400 --> 06:01:14.400
don't have to be very reactive

06:01:14.400 --> 06:01:16.400
siege. And I really do see a

06:01:16.400 --> 06:01:18.400
world where GK take this into

06:01:18.400 --> 06:01:20.400
despite this being rebels map

06:01:20.400 --> 06:01:22.400
pick another basically, and I

06:01:22.400 --> 06:01:24.400
like it. I like when teams pick

06:01:24.400 --> 06:01:30.660
Yeah, we're just gonna go there and we back ourselves on it, but honestly, I don't know that it's a bad map for GC5.

06:01:31.560 --> 06:01:36.320
It's not, they never play it, but their buying tendency again points towards them being willing to play it.

06:01:36.600 --> 06:01:42.640
Just notes that you never really take it down. You heard Leo say it ahead of the show as well, they played it at the Bell's and Master's recently.

06:01:42.640 --> 06:01:48.480
So the show that they can play this map, they beat Virtus Pro there as well, stressing 8-6, but winning 4 attacks.

06:01:48.960 --> 06:01:51.200
That tells you, they can play this map.

06:01:51.200 --> 06:01:57.040
So, let's see how they shape up. First performance on the defensive side, we can worry about how they'll do on the attacks a little bit later.

06:01:57.040 --> 06:02:04.000
As we saw back on Shelly, for Rebels, the challenge was on the attacking side. With it being their map pick, I am hopeful.

06:02:04.000 --> 06:02:08.400
I won't say optimistic, I'm hopeful we see a good first half out of them.

06:02:10.800 --> 06:02:16.480
The shield is in above. Ooh, that was a little bit of a late flash there. Not going to get the job done, though.

06:02:46.480 --> 06:02:51.480
spot where you look at it there and say, right, you're in a 5 versus 3, this is the kind of moments that you shouldn't be losing.

06:02:51.480 --> 06:02:54.880
Like, you've got all the evansions in the world that toss people off to C4 at you,

06:02:54.880 --> 06:02:57.380
and not managed to find a single kill with any of them.

06:02:57.680 --> 06:03:00.280
Like, this is, this is your round to lose.

06:03:00.280 --> 06:03:04.480
Like, if you lose this round, tapping on the back of DK, it's on the back of you losing the round.

06:03:06.080 --> 06:03:12.580
Just watching the verticals, nozles, the beast, and pressure, he is the near ghost, and the spray doesn't find any damage.

06:03:12.580 --> 06:03:20.740
game of captain mouse continues, however, it's Lincoln LMS who managed to pick up the next two on the five plant going down. You

06:03:20.740 --> 06:03:27.260
probably got his work cut out. Just by trying to kill and drop the diffuser, but you still feel like it is unlikely to be enough.

06:03:27.260 --> 06:03:34.540
We have seen a one before successfully pulled off by after tonight though. You poor could go one better here just got just out of the way that

06:03:34.540 --> 06:03:39.080
the first round. They're not

06:03:39.180 --> 06:03:40.780
going to be on the map. Not

06:03:40.880 --> 06:03:42.780
there, but as he gets up on top

06:03:42.880 --> 06:03:44.580
of the utilities in the corner,

06:03:44.680 --> 06:03:46.580
the lens is watching, waiting

06:03:46.680 --> 06:03:48.080
and anticipating managers to

06:03:48.180 --> 06:03:49.880
get that kill takes him down.

06:03:49.980 --> 06:03:50.880
It's going to be rebels taking

06:03:50.980 --> 06:03:54.520
the first round, just like

06:03:54.620 --> 06:03:56.520
they did on shally. Like I said,

06:03:56.620 --> 06:03:58.160
hopeful, not necessarily

06:03:58.260 --> 06:03:58.920
optimistic when they played

06:03:59.020 --> 06:03:59.660
against Falcons, which is the

06:03:59.760 --> 06:04:01.500
last time rebels played on this

06:04:01.600 --> 06:04:03.600
map. The only managed to win a

06:04:03.600 --> 06:04:06.600
win the one that mattered and then of course we all remember that round 14

06:04:06.600 --> 06:04:11.220
Marto 1v3. Do you see his Scott Boss getting picked up? Well, it starts to feel very very

06:04:11.220 --> 06:04:14.560
nervous but of course that will come around when we see Rebels on the defensive side.

06:04:14.560 --> 06:04:18.120
A change here for GK going into Wolff's Mute and a mozzie lineup as a pair and

06:04:18.120 --> 06:04:21.320
that's looking to lie away a lot of the Intel game coming out from Rebels. Maybe

06:04:21.320 --> 06:04:25.200
you've read from them in the last round, but yes, things like Lips for a little bit of a nuisance.

06:04:25.200 --> 06:04:29.280
Yes, they played it well but a lot of that was informed by utility. How do we change that?

06:04:29.280 --> 06:04:32.680
We deny that utility away from them and make sure there are black spots across

06:04:32.680 --> 06:04:36.680
them out where they have no idea what's going on.

06:04:38.680 --> 06:04:50.680
If the game blank out here after four of them this time, the problem is if you're going to play, and you're not going to this time, but if you're going to play against a sheet, you know, they brought the Mosul and the Reconbow last night.

06:04:50.680 --> 06:05:01.680
Not the reason it's not going to work is because we've got a shield. So they go in there and it doesn't matter when they've really got the drums on, because they're quite happy to just face check anyway if they're just walking.

06:05:01.680 --> 06:05:05.680
walking behind the shield, the shield feeds the intel, and it's basically like having a

06:05:05.680 --> 06:05:11.480
really big walking drone that has a gun. So it kind of solves that, because if you kill

06:05:11.480 --> 06:05:14.680
them, you'll slow you down a little bit, but you can walk through and you can feed that

06:05:14.680 --> 06:05:19.280
information back into teams. You don't have that this time, so it could be more effective

06:05:19.280 --> 06:05:24.120
if you watch how quickly they manage to take that top floor control. We'll get a good idea

06:05:24.120 --> 06:05:28.640
as to whether it has been more effective or not. The castle's going to slow them down

06:05:28.640 --> 06:05:32.640
the game. He's going to be

06:05:32.640 --> 06:05:34.640
in the lead. There's a lot of

06:05:34.640 --> 06:05:36.640
good job of cleaning as well.

06:05:36.640 --> 06:05:37.640
We spoke about his consistent

06:05:37.640 --> 06:05:38.640
use of Castle previous. I don't

06:05:38.640 --> 06:05:40.640
think is going to be me. Jammer's

06:05:40.640 --> 06:05:41.640
in place this thought goes to

06:05:41.640 --> 06:05:42.640
Barnum pellets taking the castle

06:05:42.640 --> 06:05:44.640
barricade out and 50 seconds

06:05:44.640 --> 06:05:45.640
in. I think pretty even at the

06:05:45.640 --> 06:05:46.640
minute rebels are doing some good

06:05:46.640 --> 06:05:48.640
job of clearing utility, but

06:05:48.640 --> 06:05:49.640
GK doing a good job of playing

06:05:49.640 --> 06:05:50.640
behind it as well.

06:05:50.640 --> 06:05:51.640
Ever see a castle barricade on

06:05:51.640 --> 06:05:53.640
this double door? I always

06:05:53.640 --> 06:05:55.640
really wanted to have the years

06:05:55.640 --> 06:05:56.640
I'm about to the days of having

06:05:56.640 --> 06:06:01.920
Yeah, exactly like impacting out those two ways. You have like a really good sheet first came up

06:06:01.920 --> 06:06:06.480
It's being used to double-stack them to the castle fire. Okay with the laser getting front troops is even hard as to get through

06:06:06.480 --> 06:06:12.580
You have to bring even more utility the good old days man. Good old days. That must have been a good one four five years ago now

06:06:13.600 --> 06:06:16.900
It feels like sweeping si which was 2022

06:06:19.320 --> 06:06:25.380
Somewhere right now, but how about that as a well in position as no chance book to try and dash to safety

06:06:25.380 --> 06:06:30.680
will be taken down. Rebels continue to look good. A minute 30 left on the clock.

06:06:30.680 --> 06:06:34.940
We've seen Sark's waiting around with his Nitro in hand for the longest time,

06:06:34.940 --> 06:06:39.420
but Rebels just not giving him the opportunity to put it to use. This is

06:06:39.420 --> 06:06:44.460
great play from them. Very aware of the dangers that are around them and where

06:06:44.460 --> 06:06:46.980
the threats are coming from.

06:06:46.980 --> 06:06:51.180
Sure, even playing this level of structure, Rebels with his keep on picking up wins.

06:06:51.180 --> 06:06:54.420
Again, it's looking very similar to last round, but they're not. They're not making any mistakes with

06:06:54.420 --> 06:06:56.420
the

06:06:56.520 --> 06:06:57.420
it's not really on the same

06:06:57.520 --> 06:06:58.420
pace. They look very aligned

06:06:58.520 --> 06:06:59.420
on what it is they're trying to

06:06:59.520 --> 06:07:01.420
accomplish. And in both rounds

06:07:01.520 --> 06:07:02.420
they've really pushed the GK

06:07:02.520 --> 06:07:04.420
using the verticals. Once again

06:07:04.520 --> 06:07:05.420
it's building out that way.

06:07:05.520 --> 06:07:07.420
Once again, they're in a 5 vs 3

06:07:07.520 --> 06:07:08.420
and could be yet again headed

06:07:08.520 --> 06:07:10.420
towards the near-floor round.

06:07:10.520 --> 06:07:13.420
You post just holding that long

06:07:13.520 --> 06:07:15.420
angle through onto my window

06:07:15.520 --> 06:07:17.420
gets the opportunity and it is

06:07:17.520 --> 06:07:19.420
as easy as that to pick up

06:07:19.520 --> 06:07:22.420
Marto. At least get his GK back

06:07:22.520 --> 06:07:23.420
into things. But as I said that's

06:07:23.420 --> 06:07:30.600
but as I said that Fennell manages to find the trade for versus two Groovey trying to make his way back towards that ear

06:07:30.600 --> 06:07:34.920
But he knows that he's held from white stairs or takes instead through pillars

06:07:34.920 --> 06:07:41.340
But he's held from new hatch. It is tough to move anywhere whilst the plant is going down as well

06:07:41.340 --> 06:07:47.260
The kills coming that's gonna be that rebels 2-0 and looking very strong on the attack. I must say

06:07:48.460 --> 06:07:53.280
Absolutely again, it's that coordination where last time around they were a little bit desperate and what they were trying to do

06:07:53.280 --> 06:07:56.460
you are going to be trying to do too much. But in these first two rounds, you send them

06:07:56.460 --> 06:08:01.240
slow things down, focus on doing things as a team. They still got four players, for example,

06:08:01.240 --> 06:08:04.520
sat upstairs opening up the floor, peeking into these verticals, trying to move players

06:08:04.520 --> 06:08:07.880
around the drones and identify where they're at. Yeah, the new monthly gameplay that was

06:08:07.880 --> 06:08:12.040
coming out from GK that we've now seen across both of those rounds really has improved into

06:08:12.040 --> 06:08:16.080
the all that effectual, to be honest. It's just always been an answer on the other side.

06:08:16.080 --> 06:08:19.840
Really well played by so far. You can see why they like the map. They're playing it brilliantly

06:08:19.840 --> 06:08:20.840
so far.

06:08:50.840 --> 06:08:54.740
They've played both of the mid-floor sides and now they are going back to beating.

06:08:54.740 --> 06:08:59.540
I don't really know what they're looking at here and thinking, you know, yeah, we were close.

06:08:59.540 --> 06:09:01.340
Yeah, we could get top floor this time.

06:09:01.340 --> 06:09:05.540
They've had two rounds in a row of trying to hold on to that top floor.

06:09:05.540 --> 06:09:08.240
Both times, they've only picked up one kill.

06:09:08.240 --> 06:09:12.640
Yupo has two kills, otherwise nobody else has got involved so far for GK.

06:09:12.640 --> 06:09:16.440
So I think it's a little bit of a mistake here going to that side.

06:09:16.440 --> 06:09:21.200
I think you may be being a little bit overconfident in your ability to turn that around.

06:09:21.200 --> 06:09:26.640
But I'd have been thinking, let's mix it up, let's get down to kitchen, let's do something different.

06:09:26.640 --> 06:09:31.680
As I say that, if it does come out and gets the first entry kill that GK have had yet,

06:09:31.680 --> 06:09:34.440
maybe that will be the difference made before.

06:09:35.880 --> 06:09:37.040
There's a thing on the roof.

06:09:37.040 --> 06:09:39.040
I'll just blow up. I've brought some smokes on the downstairs.

06:09:39.040 --> 06:09:40.640
Again, this is where the concern comes in for Rebels.

06:09:40.640 --> 06:09:42.440
They start trying to do different things.

06:09:42.440 --> 06:09:44.840
People are not playing with the team and things start to sting them.

06:09:44.840 --> 06:09:48.280
There's a lot of mass clothing that people are thinking about the site here

06:09:49.040 --> 06:09:52.080
Well, that's not for control. It's gonna be part of their wheelhouse once again

06:09:52.080 --> 06:09:55.180
It's an excellent job of going for a 5v5 to a 5v3 a couple of times

06:09:55.520 --> 06:09:58.760
Here they've got to try and do the same thing and they get themselves down to a 4v3

06:09:58.760 --> 06:10:02.280
Which means giving it a man down and of course you've lost the no match

06:10:02.280 --> 06:10:03.760
You still got the gridlock on the side

06:10:03.760 --> 06:10:07.760
You still got the ability to lock those flanks down so we don't think they'll be super bothered by losing feather

06:10:08.160 --> 06:10:10.160
But the gun was nice to have

06:10:14.840 --> 06:10:16.840
I don't know if it was there,

06:10:16.840 --> 06:10:18.840
but nothing doing at the minute.

06:10:18.840 --> 06:10:20.840
How about that though?

06:10:20.840 --> 06:10:22.840
Straight in, Asset manages to get a double.

06:10:22.840 --> 06:10:24.840
That's going to be Asset and Ruby taking down

06:10:24.840 --> 06:10:26.840
Upour as well.

06:10:26.840 --> 06:10:28.840
Two versus two, those jogger fights back on the belly.

06:10:28.840 --> 06:10:30.840
Does the job.

06:10:30.840 --> 06:10:32.840
The mozzie picks up the kills, Sark spines them now.

06:10:32.840 --> 06:10:34.840
In a two versus one,

06:10:34.840 --> 06:10:36.840
Lincoln's going to drive down to that mid-floor.

06:10:36.840 --> 06:10:38.840
Exactly that.

06:10:38.840 --> 06:10:40.840
He's got seconds on the clock.

06:10:40.840 --> 06:10:42.840
80 of them left to work with.

06:10:42.840 --> 06:10:48.780
in pocket he's got a need he's got plenty to work with here also there's no idea

06:10:48.780 --> 06:10:51.520
exactly where they are it's being very mindful of the case they have worked their

06:10:51.520 --> 06:10:55.240
way up white and they're just waiting in an off angle but so far so good we have

06:10:55.240 --> 06:10:58.800
to at least hold a bit but my curious question now is where the hell does he do

06:10:58.800 --> 06:11:01.800
with it you can try and plant in the default spot on the slow fire place on

06:11:01.800 --> 06:11:05.400
the slow side door but there's gonna know you're there they'll be ready to be a

06:11:05.400 --> 06:11:08.880
peek on you together we play in one side of utility for example could he play

06:11:08.880 --> 06:11:12.360
inside a fireplace maybe no one has made that cross yet

06:11:42.360 --> 06:11:46.400
that. They're not going to be

06:11:46.400 --> 06:11:48.200
able to move on from there. They

06:11:48.300 --> 06:11:50.300
will probably expect to do

06:11:50.400 --> 06:11:52.300
better on the attack than the

06:11:52.400 --> 06:11:54.300
defensive cafe. So not that we

06:11:54.400 --> 06:11:56.300
don't need to go to panic

06:11:56.400 --> 06:11:58.300
stations for GK just yet. Let's

06:11:58.400 --> 06:12:00.000
take a look at what operate

06:12:00.100 --> 06:12:01.600
bands come through here for

06:12:01.700 --> 06:12:02.900
that second quarter. Mute.

06:12:03.000 --> 06:12:04.400
Moti's been a big steak. Love

06:12:04.500 --> 06:12:05.400
it. I wouldn't be horribly

06:12:05.500 --> 06:12:06.400
shocked to see a band come out

06:12:06.500 --> 06:12:07.400
against the mute, but he said,

06:12:07.500 --> 06:12:08.400
no, the bow crew being taken

06:12:08.500 --> 06:12:10.400
that we saw from Ruby in that

06:12:10.400 --> 06:12:15.400
I think. Yeah, had a said so.

06:12:15.400 --> 06:12:16.400
Played it every single round.

06:12:16.400 --> 06:12:18.400
Yeah, alongside a nuisance.

06:12:18.400 --> 06:12:20.400
Yeah, and this played well so far.

06:12:20.400 --> 06:12:23.400
He, you know, he lost himself as the entry guy in round three,

06:12:23.400 --> 06:12:26.400
but otherwise he's got himself a couple of kills and he's been

06:12:26.400 --> 06:12:28.400
recently influential.

06:12:28.400 --> 06:12:31.400
So yeah, definitely heading into round four, then it's going to

06:12:31.400 --> 06:12:32.400
be down to kitchen.

06:12:32.400 --> 06:12:35.400
As I suggested, they know better than me.

06:12:35.400 --> 06:12:37.400
They've managed to get that mid-floor start.

06:12:37.400 --> 06:12:43.160
to get that top floor hold done that time. And a lot of the hoonjuffing came around that entry kill,

06:12:43.160 --> 06:12:48.600
getting fennel taken down, giving themselves the 5v4 advantage through the round. It was a little

06:12:48.600 --> 06:12:53.640
bit closer than they might have liked at the end of things, but still it gave them that impetus.

06:12:53.640 --> 06:12:59.320
It gave them something to move forward with. I'm just looking at who's likely to be playing

06:12:59.320 --> 06:13:03.720
inside of VIP and we've, I've looked and I thought, oh yeah, Groupie on the smoke,

06:13:03.720 --> 06:13:06.840
he's over there, he'll probably play in VIP, but then I once I thought, oh well no,

06:13:06.840 --> 06:13:10.640
Oh, they've got a warden. You put my player there. Another common spot for a warden.

06:13:10.640 --> 06:13:14.240
Oh, they've got a Tuberow. A Tuberow is very common to player.

06:13:14.240 --> 06:13:18.040
So, let's see who winds up inside the VIP.

06:13:18.040 --> 06:13:19.440
It's going to be an important position.

06:13:19.440 --> 06:13:21.840
At the minute, it looks like it's going to be Yoga committed to it,

06:13:21.840 --> 06:13:24.440
so you'll be able to freeze out the hatch.

06:13:24.440 --> 06:13:25.640
He needs a little bit of support,

06:13:25.640 --> 06:13:31.240
and it looks like that's going to be through this job inside of the sort of long bar area.

06:13:31.240 --> 06:13:37.240
Alright, well with the ramp saving up how things will play out, at least a little bit differently.

06:13:37.240 --> 06:13:39.240
There's a full step away here from the line up we saw from Rebels.

06:13:39.240 --> 06:13:43.240
They play three rounds, we're in the Nomad, we're in the gridlock, we're in the sledge.

06:13:43.240 --> 06:13:45.240
You will see none of those present.

06:13:45.240 --> 06:13:48.240
Of course the ramp makes a lot of sense when trying to attack onto a downstairs site anyway,

06:13:48.240 --> 06:13:51.240
but it's a departure from the Nomad and away from the gridlock.

06:13:51.240 --> 06:13:53.240
And I'll give you also an open mistake, I think which is the big switch up.

06:13:53.240 --> 06:13:55.240
Bird's Call has seen different ways.

06:13:55.240 --> 06:13:57.240
No sledge, but you've got a daymaster, of course, who got the ramp.

06:13:57.240 --> 06:13:59.240
Otherwise it lets them bring along different operators.

06:13:59.240 --> 06:14:02.480
that we saw in the first. So

06:14:02.580 --> 06:14:03.680
alike. I was seeing that

06:14:03.780 --> 06:14:04.880
adaptation was the way from

06:14:04.980 --> 06:14:05.480
rebels here and saying, no,

06:14:05.580 --> 06:14:06.480
we've got plenty more strats

06:14:06.580 --> 06:14:07.680
lined up for you. Don't you

06:14:07.780 --> 06:14:09.480
worry sunshine. It can be

06:14:09.580 --> 06:14:11.120
relying on those shields

06:14:11.220 --> 06:14:13.120
again, and it's going to be

06:14:13.220 --> 06:14:15.120
up to asset this time. It was

06:14:15.220 --> 06:14:17.120
previously Marta who brought

06:14:17.220 --> 06:14:21.120
along the blitz to start

06:14:21.220 --> 06:14:23.120
clearing out this midfloor and

06:14:23.220 --> 06:14:24.140
then they can start with

06:14:24.140 --> 06:14:28.820
this mid-floor and then they can start with the escalator. Another 10 or 15 seconds before

06:14:28.820 --> 06:14:32.900
me to start worrying about the clock. Get the ram inside, it's going to be Martyrs

06:14:32.900 --> 06:14:37.340
jump close to start doing that work. How about that, though? Groovy second round in a row

06:14:37.340 --> 06:14:41.580
where he's managed to pick up the opener, and it's been fennel both times, becoming

06:14:41.580 --> 06:14:46.260
a little bit of a tether-tether, a little bit of a head-to-head between those two at

06:14:46.260 --> 06:14:50.460
the beginning of these rounds. Toxic dead canister is going to back up faster as well.

06:14:50.460 --> 06:14:57.460
getting themselves well back into this one, high versus three, looking like a good defensive kitchen so far.

06:14:57.460 --> 06:15:03.460
There's still verticality can be done, there's still another boogie drone, a minute left on the clock,

06:15:03.460 --> 06:15:09.460
but they've got a number of very, very difficult problems to solve, there's still a warden on the board,

06:15:09.460 --> 06:15:14.460
which means it's difficult for the Blitz to have too much impact in the right to have some,

06:15:14.460 --> 06:15:18.460
but maybe not complete, and then they've still got VIP to deal with.

06:15:18.460 --> 06:15:19.460
Reloading.

06:15:19.860 --> 06:15:20.860
Hmm.

06:15:21.460 --> 06:15:23.860
It's like a little bit too much to worry about, right?

06:15:24.060 --> 06:15:26.860
You can put all this time into what's getting vertical control if you really want,

06:15:26.860 --> 06:15:29.460
but the problem here then, guys, everyone just spreads out last week,

06:15:29.460 --> 06:15:31.660
and you still got an entire ground floor to clear out.

06:15:31.660 --> 06:15:34.460
Marta left it in one versus five. It feels like it's going to be

06:15:34.460 --> 06:15:37.260
a flawless round coming out for GK as he rounds on towards white.

06:15:37.260 --> 06:15:38.660
What eight feet is his name?

06:15:39.460 --> 06:15:42.260
It's about to say I almost lost his head up first to Yoga, but

06:15:42.260 --> 06:15:44.260
letting that away gives me 25 seconds, Tim.

06:15:44.260 --> 06:15:46.460
They aren't going to find the round going their way.

06:15:46.460 --> 06:15:48.260
Adaptation, unsuccessful.

06:15:48.460 --> 06:16:08.460
I think it's time for a bit of an unofficial time. I have a chat within the team. See if there's anything they can do because they can't let this one slip too far away from them. That is the problem.

06:16:08.460 --> 06:16:12.460
they're on the attack in half.

06:16:12.560 --> 06:16:14.360
They'll feel like they can do

06:16:14.460 --> 06:16:16.360
some work here on cafe on the

06:16:16.460 --> 06:16:18.360
attack. If we have a look at

06:16:18.460 --> 06:16:20.360
their previous numbers. Not

06:16:20.460 --> 06:16:22.360
amazing for them 30% usually on

06:16:22.460 --> 06:16:24.360
the attack. They are much better

06:16:24.460 --> 06:16:26.360
actually on the defensive cafe,

06:16:26.460 --> 06:16:28.360
so you know again no need for

06:16:28.460 --> 06:16:29.360
rebels to be worrying, but

06:16:29.460 --> 06:16:30.360
given that they've lost that

06:16:30.460 --> 06:16:32.360
first map, given that they lost

06:16:32.460 --> 06:16:33.360
shallow, they need to be

06:16:33.460 --> 06:16:35.360
cautious here because if GK can

06:16:35.460 --> 06:16:36.360
get on top of them, if they can

06:16:36.460 --> 06:16:38.360
get too far out in front, then

06:16:38.460 --> 06:16:46.020
It's going to give that added pressure. So I can totally understand why they've taken the option there to just have 10 seconds in the chat

06:16:47.140 --> 06:16:50.220
Have a little breather because it is a lot on the line like I know Ross

06:16:50.220 --> 06:16:54.140
You're not to me could yet be going to three rebels fight their way back in but that reminder again

06:16:54.140 --> 06:16:55.740
It's either you see this on the line

06:16:55.740 --> 06:17:02.100
It's the potential to get an instant qualification to SI 27 like it's a big deal and like you know

06:17:02.100 --> 06:17:05.660
We're supposed to be through a G2 guy earlier fanatic which no doubt will be the upset of the year

06:17:05.660 --> 06:17:09.260
What a fantastic series it was. If you're looking for someone to watch back throughout the week,

06:17:09.260 --> 06:17:11.820
I can wholeheartedly recommend going back and watching it.

06:17:11.820 --> 06:17:14.620
But you can only imagine how the players of G2 feel at this time as well,

06:17:14.620 --> 06:17:17.820
and it'll still feel just as much of a sting for these boys here who look at this and say,

06:17:17.820 --> 06:17:22.780
hey, where CQ is relatively evenly matched, like both of us stands to the chance of doing it.

06:17:22.780 --> 06:17:25.580
It's going to sting if they can't get themselves back on the wagon, so it's now or never.

06:17:28.860 --> 06:17:34.460
Do you hear that? Can they build on the momentum that they've had over the last couple of rounds?

06:17:34.460 --> 06:17:38.460
I'm sure there's certainly nothing that rebels need to be worrying about just yet.

06:17:38.460 --> 06:17:43.460
They are pretty much on course with their usual sort of numbers here on Caffe.

06:17:43.460 --> 06:17:47.460
Gonna be that mid-floor once again. We just have a player drop out there.

06:17:47.460 --> 06:17:53.460
We'll see what happens as we progress. It looks like everybody's kind of stopping, assuming.

06:17:53.460 --> 06:17:59.460
But we will wait for that call, and the request comes in.

06:17:59.460 --> 06:18:04.460
you. We'll continue for the

06:18:04.560 --> 06:18:06.360
time being. But we will have a

06:18:06.460 --> 06:18:09.460
call on that. No doubt very,

06:18:09.560 --> 06:18:11.460
very soon. So she came like I

06:18:11.560 --> 06:18:13.460
said, just building that little

06:18:13.560 --> 06:18:14.460
bit of momentum. There we go.

06:18:14.560 --> 06:18:15.460
We've got the confirmation that

06:18:15.560 --> 06:18:17.460
we needed. So we'll just get

06:18:17.560 --> 06:18:19.460
that reboot done and we'll get

06:18:19.560 --> 06:18:20.460
them back into the server as

06:18:20.560 --> 06:18:22.460
soon as we can do. Yeah, GK

06:18:22.560 --> 06:18:24.460
carrying that momentum. I think

06:18:24.560 --> 06:18:26.460
GK realistically looking at

06:18:26.560 --> 06:18:28.460
those attacking numbers, the

06:18:28.460 --> 06:18:32.460
defensive rounds. So I think

06:18:32.460 --> 06:18:34.460
they're really, really good

06:18:34.460 --> 06:18:36.460
pedigree for them on defense

06:18:36.460 --> 06:18:38.460
cheeky. Need a four to here

06:18:38.460 --> 06:18:40.460
realistically if they want a

06:18:40.460 --> 06:18:41.460
chance going into that second

06:18:41.460 --> 06:18:42.460
half to wrap it up and to get

06:18:42.460 --> 06:18:43.460
it done here in two maps. I

06:18:43.460 --> 06:18:44.460
think that they really want

06:18:44.460 --> 06:18:46.460
that four to they can't be

06:18:46.460 --> 06:18:48.460
losing any more of these

06:18:48.460 --> 06:18:49.460
defences. Otherwise rebels are

06:18:49.460 --> 06:18:51.460
going to be smiling to

06:18:51.460 --> 06:18:52.460
themselves going into that

06:18:52.460 --> 06:18:54.460
second half. Did we speak

06:18:54.460 --> 06:18:56.460
about the fact that it was

06:18:56.460 --> 06:18:59.900
I don't know. I don't recall. I don't think so.

06:18:59.900 --> 06:19:03.900
I don't. We've got the podcast. I think I'm... I'll say it now. Happy birthday, Tim Tam.

06:19:03.900 --> 06:19:04.900
Oh, thank you.

06:19:04.900 --> 06:19:07.220
I know it's two days, a little bit late, and I'm sure you had a wonderful day. What did

06:19:07.220 --> 06:19:08.220
you get up to?

06:19:08.220 --> 06:19:12.100
Well, to get a little bit less exciting, the older that you get, because there's a big

06:19:12.100 --> 06:19:13.100
bit of it that you think...

06:19:13.100 --> 06:19:14.100
You get pants and socks, and that's it.

06:19:14.100 --> 06:19:18.300
Well, no, it's more that you just think, oh, that's another year older.

06:19:18.300 --> 06:19:24.420
That's the problem. Like, your back hurts a little bit more each year, and you know...

06:19:24.420 --> 06:19:28.260
I'm not sure if you're going to

06:19:28.360 --> 06:19:30.220
be able to see it. You know,

06:19:30.360 --> 06:19:31.260
it's it's a tough one to take

06:19:31.360 --> 06:19:34.260
the years, but I had a great

06:19:34.360 --> 06:19:36.260
day. I went to the driving

06:19:36.360 --> 06:19:38.260
range from my daughter. She is

06:19:38.360 --> 06:19:40.260
progressing wonderfully with a

06:19:40.360 --> 06:19:42.260
golf game, and she's going to be

06:19:42.360 --> 06:19:43.260
beating. You know, you're very

06:19:43.360 --> 06:19:44.360
very soon. You're talking about

06:19:44.460 --> 06:19:46.360
taking your daughter to go from

06:19:46.460 --> 06:19:48.360
the compliments are on a swing.

06:19:48.460 --> 06:19:50.360
She's doing very well. She's

06:19:50.460 --> 06:19:52.360
very, very, very, very, very

06:19:52.460 --> 06:19:54.360
impressive. She's going to be

06:20:24.420 --> 06:20:28.400
to be able to play for the

06:20:30.400 --> 06:20:32.400
while. But I want to buy a

06:20:32.400 --> 06:20:34.400
barbecue and I really want to

06:20:34.400 --> 06:20:35.400
start smoking me and I spoke

06:20:35.400 --> 06:20:36.400
to one of my guys at work. You

06:20:36.400 --> 06:20:37.400
know Alex at work. Who does

06:20:37.400 --> 06:20:38.400
it? And he was saying to the

06:20:38.400 --> 06:20:39.400
day he got up 14 hours before

06:20:39.400 --> 06:20:40.400
it was required. He was about

06:20:40.400 --> 06:20:42.400
3 a.m. To start smoking me

06:20:42.400 --> 06:20:43.400
get it going. I was like, I was

06:20:43.400 --> 06:20:44.400
like, I was like, brother.

06:20:44.400 --> 06:20:45.400
That's commitment. I have been

06:20:45.400 --> 06:20:46.420
to one of his barbecues before

06:20:46.420 --> 06:20:48.420
and just maybe it was great.

06:20:48.420 --> 06:20:49.420
But I'm not a stage where I'm

06:20:49.420 --> 06:20:50.420
just like, do I want to buy a

06:20:50.420 --> 06:20:53.420
smoker? I might. Yeah, I don't

06:20:53.420 --> 06:21:13.420
I don't feel like you've got the commitment level. Um, you know for a 14 hour slow cook of some meat. That would be that would you're very much a stick this on five minutes before you know you're very much a I need to be there at two before as well.

06:21:13.420 --> 06:21:19.540
I need to be there at two before as well. It's three hours away. I'm gonna set off at ten to two

06:21:19.540 --> 06:21:23.580
You know, that's very much you so I don't commit to that

06:21:23.580 --> 06:21:28.260
I haven't got to think about once it's in there could just be like right so I'm 14 hours time and don't even think about it again

06:21:28.260 --> 06:21:33.820
It's so easy. I don't mind that see my God on wall for cooking for everyone listening is if it takes longer to cook it than it

06:21:33.820 --> 06:21:36.340
Does to eat it. I'm not interested. That is generally my rule

06:21:36.780 --> 06:21:42.740
Not you're gonna take 14 hours to eat the meat. There's you know, you're gonna be going against your own rules

06:21:43.420 --> 06:21:45.780
Well, the thing is I can make meals that take like an hour.

06:21:45.780 --> 06:21:47.020
I do not someday roast some ties,

06:21:47.020 --> 06:21:49.220
but they're quick and dirty someday roasts the other.

06:21:49.220 --> 06:21:51.740
If I have to spend as much time chopping up vegetables

06:21:51.740 --> 06:21:53.220
and steaming them and all the rest of it,

06:21:53.220 --> 06:21:54.340
I'm not interested at that point.

06:21:54.340 --> 06:21:55.260
If it's nice, quick and easy,

06:21:55.260 --> 06:21:57.780
bunge it all in the oven or in the slow cooker

06:21:57.780 --> 06:21:59.220
or in the air fryer, you name it.

06:21:59.220 --> 06:22:00.580
Yeah, I'm good with that.

06:22:00.580 --> 06:22:04.020
So I actually think smoking meat might be my thing.

06:22:04.020 --> 06:22:05.180
I'm very aware how that sounds.

06:22:05.180 --> 06:22:06.020
I said it three times.

06:22:06.020 --> 06:22:06.860
It sounds very weird.

06:22:06.860 --> 06:22:08.060
I'm gonna stop saying that phrase now.

06:22:08.060 --> 06:22:08.900
Ha!

06:22:08.900 --> 06:22:10.180
Ha ha ha ha ha!

06:22:10.180 --> 06:22:11.380
I'm violent to smoking meat.

06:22:11.380 --> 06:22:12.220
Hell yeah!

06:22:42.220 --> 06:22:49.420
Yeah, it's a whole to perfect temperature. Wow. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's a bit ridiculous. I don't think I want to go that deep on a big business

06:22:49.420 --> 06:22:51.420
It's big business. It's no messing about

06:22:52.300 --> 06:22:57.720
Somebody you smoke a barbecue grill 80 quid that'll do me fine. No, that's not my order right now

06:22:57.820 --> 06:23:01.500
That's not gonna cut the mustard for you. It looks good. It looks good. No

06:23:03.420 --> 06:23:06.880
I don't you know achieve what you are. I know somebody who's got some like

06:23:36.880 --> 06:23:38.880
but I also understand it because

06:23:38.880 --> 06:23:40.880
when I did go over to Austin a

06:23:40.880 --> 06:23:41.880
few times, there's a place there

06:23:41.880 --> 06:23:43.880
called Terry Black's Barbecue.

06:23:43.880 --> 06:23:45.880
And nothing in Europe comes close.

06:23:45.880 --> 06:23:46.880
Like part of the best, the second

06:23:46.880 --> 06:23:49.880
best I've had was in Copenhagen,

06:23:49.880 --> 06:23:51.880
nowhere near Texas Barbecue.

06:23:51.880 --> 06:23:53.880
Oh my god, I'm thinking about it

06:23:53.880 --> 06:23:54.880
now in a mouth watering.

06:23:54.880 --> 06:23:55.880
I need to go back.

06:23:55.880 --> 06:23:58.880
I went to a place in when we were

06:23:58.880 --> 06:24:01.880
in Atlanta, when we're in Georgia.

06:24:01.880 --> 06:24:03.880
I went to a place there.

06:24:03.880 --> 06:24:04.880
I was on my own.

06:24:04.880 --> 06:24:05.880
I just needed some food.

06:24:05.880 --> 06:24:08.920
I was like, oh, that's why I did a quick like Google,

06:24:08.920 --> 06:24:10.760
where's the best barbecue places?

06:24:10.760 --> 06:24:13.920
Because of course, Georgia is the gateway to the safe.

06:24:13.920 --> 06:24:16.120
So I thought I've got to get some barbecue food

06:24:16.120 --> 06:24:17.360
whilst I'm here.

06:24:17.360 --> 06:24:20.000
So I went to a place there and it was absolutely dead.

06:24:20.000 --> 06:24:21.200
But it was excellent food.

06:24:21.200 --> 06:24:23.920
It was dead because it was like two in the afternoon.

06:24:23.920 --> 06:24:26.360
And it was like, so I got really good service.

06:24:26.360 --> 06:24:28.480
I got really looked after because I was like the only person

06:24:28.480 --> 06:24:29.000
in there.

06:24:29.000 --> 06:24:30.560
Everything was cooked, it was fresh.

06:24:30.560 --> 06:24:32.720
It was really, really good.

06:24:32.720 --> 06:24:34.640
Yeah, that food was phenomenal.

06:24:34.640 --> 06:24:42.640
I think I've told the story about how I walked out with barbecue sauce on my face, but that's probably a story for another day that one does.

06:24:42.640 --> 06:24:48.140
So, let's get into round five, and it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.

06:24:48.140 --> 06:24:51.640
Let's get into round five.

06:24:51.640 --> 06:24:56.140
It's going to be another mid-floor sight coming in from GK.

06:24:56.140 --> 06:24:59.140
They were able to win reading room back in round three.

06:24:59.140 --> 06:25:02.640
We're seeing them go back to fireplace for round five.

06:25:02.640 --> 06:25:06.880
tried it in round two rebels were able to get the win last time around it felt

06:25:06.880 --> 06:25:10.800
like the entry really made a big difference groovy was able to pick it up

06:25:10.800 --> 06:25:14.760
for them get them the advantage you can see and just waiting with that nitro on

06:25:14.760 --> 06:25:20.220
the windows ripped and ready to go and GK funnily enough I've got the last two

06:25:20.220 --> 06:25:23.680
entries and have won the last two rounds so keep an eye for which way that

06:25:23.680 --> 06:25:27.960
first go goes nitro goes out not gonna find it's mark groovy does manage to

06:25:27.960 --> 06:25:33.960
escape from Piano, just the fight, I tell you what, that smoke, just detonating there,

06:25:33.960 --> 06:25:39.120
Matt, well I saved his life, just pick up the opener. Is that now going to be converted

06:25:39.120 --> 06:25:44.960
by GK Linko? Going in looking to see if he can get himself into a tricky spot.

06:25:44.960 --> 06:25:49.000
He isn't quite a good spot actually, but Barley's, every second he wastes his team and it's

06:25:49.000 --> 06:25:52.600
gone a full length of bar, acid dazed there, but not yet taken out, here he is, springs

06:25:52.600 --> 06:25:56.840
him inside the bar, looks to the second, but Asp is there for the trade, 3v2.

06:25:56.840 --> 06:26:02.380
GK looking pretty good in the round overall let's not forget as well that we saw Shelly end at a 3-3 split

06:26:02.380 --> 06:26:06.740
Gun rebels are coming out the first half it looks like we're heading towards a similar thing yet again

06:26:06.740 --> 06:26:32.300
I'm sure that you didn't cut you off for me halfway through your sentence and so they

06:26:32.300 --> 06:26:37.300
have to work slowly to get the

06:26:37.300 --> 06:26:39.300
electric war taken out and.

06:26:39.300 --> 06:26:42.300
It will get that done and get

06:26:42.300 --> 06:26:44.300
the hatch open three versus two

06:26:44.300 --> 06:26:46.300
still though for GK one minute

06:26:46.300 --> 06:26:48.300
left before time is going to

06:26:48.300 --> 06:26:50.300
become a factor for rebels.

06:26:50.300 --> 06:26:52.300
Mato just seeing an opportunity

06:26:52.300 --> 06:26:54.300
there, but not able to find a

06:26:54.300 --> 06:26:57.300
kill and socks. You poor ask

06:26:57.300 --> 06:26:59.300
doing a good job of just keeping

06:26:59.300 --> 06:27:01.300
themselves off the radar 45

06:27:01.300 --> 06:27:04.300
to get a plant down. It's

06:27:04.300 --> 06:27:05.800
almost like in a sense, Link

06:27:05.800 --> 06:27:07.300
you're at the same problem

06:27:07.300 --> 06:27:08.300
upstairs where he was being

06:27:08.300 --> 06:27:09.300
planted very, very cautious and

06:27:09.300 --> 06:27:11.300
very careful and quiet about

06:27:11.300 --> 06:27:12.300
things. But argue left it a

06:27:12.300 --> 06:27:13.300
little bit too long and now

06:27:13.300 --> 06:27:14.300
they may well pay the price of

06:27:14.300 --> 06:27:15.300
those where the kind is and

06:27:15.300 --> 06:27:17.300
now you just going to find the

06:27:17.300 --> 06:27:19.300
kill as GK looking pretty good

06:27:19.300 --> 06:27:23.300
up to three and two. As I said,

06:27:23.300 --> 06:27:25.300
yes, it is good for them, but I

06:27:25.300 --> 06:27:27.300
feel like a four to two

06:27:27.300 --> 06:27:31.300
you know, I'm not going to be

06:27:31.300 --> 06:27:33.300
going to be going to be. As I

06:27:33.300 --> 06:27:35.300
said, yes, it is good for them,

06:27:35.300 --> 06:27:37.300
but I feel like a four to is I

06:27:37.300 --> 06:27:39.300
don't know if I is a minimum. I

06:27:39.300 --> 06:27:41.300
think it is when rebels have

06:27:41.300 --> 06:27:43.300
historically got a 70% plus

06:27:43.300 --> 06:27:45.300
win rates on the defense. I

06:27:45.300 --> 06:27:47.300
think you need that four to if

06:27:47.300 --> 06:27:49.300
you GK so that you can then, um,

06:27:49.300 --> 06:27:51.300
you know, look at getting

06:27:51.300 --> 06:27:53.300
yourself at least into overtime

06:27:53.300 --> 06:27:55.300
or better. So yeah, next round

06:27:55.300 --> 06:27:59.500
they're not using top floor.

06:27:59.500 --> 06:28:05.300
Hallelujah. Thank you, GK.

06:28:05.300 --> 06:28:07.300
They're looking at the line up

06:28:07.300 --> 06:28:09.300
compared to last time they were

06:28:09.300 --> 06:28:11.300
in reading room and they want it.

06:28:11.300 --> 06:28:13.300
It is a little bit different

06:28:13.300 --> 06:28:15.300
because the Valkyrie has been

06:28:15.300 --> 06:28:17.300
banned out, so they're going to

06:28:17.300 --> 06:28:19.300
have a little bit less intel than

06:28:19.300 --> 06:28:21.300
they had last time around. They've

06:28:21.300 --> 06:28:23.300
got no Goyo either, so a little

06:28:23.300 --> 06:28:29.460
got the Arunis. So given that the Umai is there, that would suggest to me a stronger hold over

06:28:29.460 --> 06:28:34.260
Piano. Sometimes if you're going for a top four hold for reading, you don't really worry about Piano

06:28:34.260 --> 06:28:39.700
too much. You give a cursory fight over it and then you drop back and move on and the fight

06:28:40.260 --> 06:28:46.020
more takes place over Cocktail and Lombar, for example, but this time I think they are really

06:28:46.020 --> 06:28:51.780
committing to that entire top four hold. And a bit of a change over on the other side,

06:28:51.780 --> 06:28:55.300
two Rebels leaning back into wars a little bit of a flank. I say flank watch, more the

06:28:55.300 --> 06:28:58.700
lockdown of the flank I think on the ground, crowd control which you might call the gridlock

06:28:58.700 --> 06:29:02.060
onside, but it's the double lean towards the inside of the district. They played the

06:29:02.060 --> 06:29:06.420
Deimos earlier on, didn't play the stake in the same round, but now that that's onside,

06:29:06.420 --> 06:29:08.980
I suggest there are at least lean towards thinking, that's probably because they're

06:29:08.980 --> 06:29:11.820
just a little bit sick and tired of finding out players are hiding in little odd corners

06:29:11.820 --> 06:29:15.340
that they can't deal with, a little bit of the GK Classic. However, they've got that

06:29:15.340 --> 06:29:18.700
Mutant Moshi back onside on the other side and we've seen a couple of times in events

06:29:18.700 --> 06:29:23.580
On this very map, how a mute can help you against a snake you do not show up on is a little made out.

06:29:23.580 --> 06:29:26.340
You don't get any kind of warning, so you can surprise him.

06:29:28.660 --> 06:29:32.180
Working on the repellent, just looking for opportunity inside.

06:29:32.180 --> 06:29:36.780
I've commented already how the entry has been decisive in every single round.

06:29:37.180 --> 06:29:39.660
So keep an eye on which way that one goes.

06:29:39.660 --> 06:29:43.500
It's been GK for the last three rounds, two for review one for asking,

06:29:43.500 --> 06:29:47.140
but the shield is going to start its slow march forward.

06:29:47.140 --> 06:29:52.140
The last time that we saw Marta on a shield was round one, and it was a convincing win for Rebels.

06:29:52.140 --> 06:29:54.840
Are they able to replicate on the back of this?

06:29:54.840 --> 06:29:57.740
Sees his opportunity, takes a pot shot at cocktail.

06:29:57.740 --> 06:30:00.640
Doesn't manage to connect any damage.

06:30:00.640 --> 06:30:02.940
I think it's a bit mental trying to take a fight and to ruin it with a pistol.

06:30:02.940 --> 06:30:04.440
I won't lie either way.

06:30:04.440 --> 06:30:06.040
They've managed to find one, they've found two.

06:30:06.040 --> 06:30:09.340
Ashton is capitalising on the back of the damage being caused by the shield.

06:30:09.340 --> 06:30:11.940
In he comes for a third, not even looking at him.

06:30:11.940 --> 06:30:14.240
His teammates doing all the work, constricting their attention.

06:30:14.240 --> 06:30:18.000
He's watching him go to three and now in a 3v2 and a half around to play,

06:30:18.000 --> 06:30:20.720
surely they can't see themselves losing this round.

06:30:20.720 --> 06:30:26.040
You wouldn't have thought so, but 2v3, I was going to say 2v3 is not necessarily the end of the world for GK,

06:30:26.040 --> 06:30:28.840
but the shield makes it particularly difficult.

06:30:28.840 --> 06:30:32.080
Now that it's a 1v3, it makes it practically impossible.

06:30:32.080 --> 06:30:35.360
We can see Starks just rotating around, goes for the shotgun,

06:30:35.360 --> 06:30:37.760
gets taken down on the course angle 3-3,

06:30:37.760 --> 06:30:42.320
and I think Rebels will definitely be the happier with that out of the two teams.

06:30:44.240 --> 06:30:49.360
Ultimate beginner's guide how to smoke me at home. I have time to sit and read that while we go over to our desk

06:30:50.560 --> 06:30:56.880
Thank you very much, and how we set this first have up to be I think we have to be really happy for rebels

06:30:56.880 --> 06:31:00.280
Right we talked about their struggles on attack. They've got to prove it as wrong here

06:31:00.280 --> 06:31:05.580
There is something truly special about rebels attacking on cafe something where they come come alive

06:31:05.580 --> 06:31:08.260
They can show how they attack probably you can see that from there

06:31:08.260 --> 06:31:12.580
the regular steps of getting the initial control, of setting up the flanks with the

06:31:12.580 --> 06:31:16.660
breedlock, of getting the initial control that they need later on in the round to set up the

06:31:16.660 --> 06:31:20.980
executes. All of these fundamentals, even like their aggression, right, the pacing,

06:31:20.980 --> 06:31:25.860
it's a little bit more there. The first two rounds were really good, GK somehow find that way back

06:31:25.860 --> 06:31:29.780
in the round three and I think that really ships the momentum. Arguably could have been a 3-0 for

06:31:29.780 --> 06:31:33.780
Rebels already there, could have been a 4-2 space for Rebels on the attack and you can see it,

06:31:33.780 --> 06:31:38.020
right, it's a little bit of lurking, it's the abuse of Solisnake, it's the abuse of the shield

06:31:38.020 --> 06:31:42.500
sometimes to get the initial control. Anyhow, it's basically rebels going through their steps

06:31:42.500 --> 06:31:46.820
and GTA fighting really hard to get them to stop them from getting the entry. They're trying to

06:31:46.820 --> 06:31:51.300
play the disruption game, but it's double-edged sword, right? Every time they lose those gunfights,

06:31:51.300 --> 06:31:55.140
rebels can just like go full-on. There's two operators to me really that were influential

06:31:55.140 --> 06:31:58.740
in that half. The first one was Solid Snake, it was particularly asset playing out there on the

06:31:58.740 --> 06:32:03.140
Solid Snake. He was very, very good using the F2, a bit of a crotch weapon, but he was very,

06:32:03.140 --> 06:32:06.900
very good with it. And I think he was a big reason why rebels played so well because he was the one

06:32:06.900 --> 06:32:10.100
the one that was getting the frags. And then the second operator was the gridlock. Why was

06:32:10.100 --> 06:32:13.740
the gridlock even in play? Because the no-man got banned. That's how much the GK wanted

06:32:13.740 --> 06:32:17.100
to get outside the building, wanted to get out, wanted to get on the flank. And as soon

06:32:17.100 --> 06:32:20.500
as Rebels started shutting that down, that's when they re-found the success in that very

06:32:20.500 --> 06:32:24.620
final round, because they were shutting down the movement from GK. So I think the fact

06:32:24.620 --> 06:32:28.860
to the matter is, yeah, Rebels are really struggling on the tackle basically every map,

06:32:28.860 --> 06:32:32.620
but Kafe seems to be their home, and a free-free attack split certainly stands them in good

06:32:32.620 --> 06:32:34.500
stead, heading into their defenses.

06:32:34.500 --> 06:32:38.580
sense as to why they would have picked this map as well right getting that early few rounds

06:32:38.580 --> 06:32:42.820
in on the attack here for rebels now going on to their more favorable side right we talked

06:32:42.820 --> 06:32:47.300
about this wind delta so much anything that they can do and maybe even bend away from

06:32:47.300 --> 06:32:51.620
gk to get this map and deal with the way well i mean actually lurking on this map isn't

06:32:51.620 --> 06:32:55.220
amazing like being honest think about if you defend in the top floor even at the two middle

06:32:55.220 --> 06:33:00.420
floor sides like working somebody like probably like there's white stairs up there's no door

06:33:00.420 --> 06:33:03.360
maybe red stuff like once you start shooting those areas down and they're

06:33:03.360 --> 06:33:06.700
very small compact areas I think that's just the big thing that rebels need to

06:33:06.700 --> 06:33:10.380
be aware of focus on I can already tell you what he will do it's the classic

06:33:10.380 --> 06:33:13.380
they're gonna split around the top floor they're gonna open all the windows and

06:33:13.380 --> 06:33:16.140
they're gonna wait for a gap I think that's the important bit if don't get

06:33:16.140 --> 06:33:20.140
moved don't get don't get moved by any like made play a lot yeah give one line

06:33:20.140 --> 06:33:23.420
maybe just stick to positions allow them to execute test their execute and I

06:33:23.420 --> 06:33:26.580
think I think rebels will find success force geeky in the funnel of going

06:33:26.580 --> 06:33:29.900
through the layers the natural layers of the map that's the biggest thing on

06:33:29.900 --> 06:33:51.660
I'll give you a 3 out of 10 for that one, Anne.

06:33:51.660 --> 06:33:54.660
I've got to buy a bookshelf now as well.

06:33:54.660 --> 06:33:59.660
Right, it can keep all your meat smoking books there.

06:33:59.660 --> 06:34:02.660
It can keep all your meat smoking books.

06:34:02.660 --> 06:34:05.660
I have managed to go and order a 500 pound meat smoker during that break.

06:34:05.660 --> 06:34:06.660
Of course you did.

06:34:06.660 --> 06:34:08.660
No, I'm joking, I'm joking.

06:34:08.660 --> 06:34:09.660
I'm joking!

06:34:09.660 --> 06:34:10.660
I'm joking!

06:34:10.660 --> 06:34:12.660
No, no, I'm not having it.

06:34:12.660 --> 06:34:13.660
No, no, no, no, no.

06:34:13.660 --> 06:34:16.660
No, the smokemaster 3000 is looking pretty good.

06:34:46.660 --> 06:34:48.780
that I am going to see.

06:34:48.780 --> 06:34:50.060
At the beginning, you remember me saying

06:34:50.060 --> 06:34:52.860
that Rebels have played this map three times, GK zero,

06:34:52.860 --> 06:34:54.900
so there's at least a tier one,

06:34:54.900 --> 06:34:56.940
so there's less footage available for GK

06:34:56.940 --> 06:34:58.620
than there is for Rebels.

06:34:58.620 --> 06:35:00.780
Rebels on defense, that's where GK

06:35:00.780 --> 06:35:03.220
going to have been able to really put their hearts,

06:35:03.220 --> 06:35:04.780
every single one of their defences.

06:35:04.780 --> 06:35:06.660
They should be very well prepared here,

06:35:06.660 --> 06:35:10.180
so do not be surprised if GK come out

06:35:10.180 --> 06:35:11.620
and start winning some attacks here,

06:35:11.620 --> 06:35:13.780
because I think that the second half

06:35:13.780 --> 06:35:15.860
is where that extra bit of information

06:35:15.860 --> 06:35:18.340
is really what I could to start paying off for them.

06:35:19.820 --> 06:35:23.140
Sure, so again, we can use the Nomads, the gridlocks,

06:35:23.140 --> 06:35:24.860
you already heard the death speaking about this a little bit

06:35:24.860 --> 06:35:26.420
as well, I'm more of the same as that.

06:35:26.420 --> 06:35:27.260
We'll come out on this half

06:35:27.260 --> 06:35:28.460
because they know that the birth clouds

06:35:28.460 --> 06:35:30.140
are not gonna be a nuisance if you start letting players

06:35:30.140 --> 06:35:31.180
up behind you.

06:35:31.180 --> 06:35:32.740
Really, you know, a massive switch is, I guess,

06:35:32.740 --> 06:35:35.540
in terms of actual operators both teams are bringing along.

06:35:35.540 --> 06:35:37.460
So don't imagine that we have a massive drastic change

06:35:37.460 --> 06:35:38.460
in how things are being played.

06:35:38.460 --> 06:35:40.300
You know, I start out with the vertical control,

06:35:40.300 --> 06:35:41.780
with the round on side, for example,

06:35:41.780 --> 06:35:44.780
still gonna make sure you're fairing away those.

06:35:44.780 --> 06:35:48.060
Electro Claws easily dealt with, hatch being opened up.

06:35:48.060 --> 06:35:49.060
Now the real question is,

06:35:49.060 --> 06:35:51.100
the rebels avoid exposing themselves to early kills

06:35:51.100 --> 06:35:52.380
in the same way that GK did.

06:35:52.380 --> 06:35:53.660
In the majority of those rounds,

06:35:53.660 --> 06:35:55.980
the answer starts out with a resounding no.

06:35:55.980 --> 06:35:57.980
A moving no, back to him.

06:35:57.980 --> 06:36:00.620
One getting a kill, the second one, he'll make it.

06:36:00.620 --> 06:36:01.460
RUN!

06:36:03.300 --> 06:36:06.180
Just getting that movie drawn down,

06:36:06.180 --> 06:36:08.420
they're taking a little bit of damage themselves there,

06:36:08.420 --> 06:36:10.140
but it's not really going to matter too much.

06:36:10.140 --> 06:36:12.660
Doing the work of ripping up those swobbles,

06:36:12.660 --> 06:36:16.260
Also, this just creates so much noise. Does that really drawn?

06:36:16.260 --> 06:36:20.500
It's not something that we can ignore in terms of what it brings to the table as well,

06:36:20.500 --> 06:36:24.740
because the movement, the shifting, everything that can happen around it at the same time.

06:36:24.740 --> 06:36:28.660
GK do manage to find a kill in response. Link will take it down.

06:36:28.660 --> 06:36:31.060
Goyo off the floor. Four versus four.

06:36:31.060 --> 06:36:35.780
Put 40 seconds left to go. They need to think about how they're going to get into position

06:36:35.780 --> 06:36:40.020
to put this diffuser down on the ground. They are currently being held at bay.

06:36:40.020 --> 06:36:47.540
by toxic turbs from Asta. He has two remaining, so can smoke out the majority if not the rest of this round if he plays this well.

06:36:48.420 --> 06:36:51.540
Oh, we'll go now about Fenno. No, they don't. Did you see my bet?

06:36:51.540 --> 06:36:53.300
Oh, we know! Groovy!

06:36:54.100 --> 06:36:55.540
Is Lane slip the net?

06:36:55.860 --> 06:37:00.340
It should have been an easy trade to pick up, but I have no idea where he was and pays the price.

06:37:00.340 --> 06:37:03.140
And like that, Fenno is on an absolute tear.

06:37:03.140 --> 06:37:07.940
You may have an ace coming out of this line. If you get this final kill, a couple of bullets land you first.

06:37:07.940 --> 06:37:12.260
Well, might as hide away here and let the crowd do the work for him, but this one looks done.

06:37:12.260 --> 06:37:16.420
Feno, surely fancier the step out, and he gets the ace in to kick off the half.

06:37:16.420 --> 06:37:21.460
Yeah, really big message sent from Feno. They're Rebels. They are here to play.

06:37:21.460 --> 06:37:28.420
They are on the defense of their map, and they are not going to give an inch for three now.

06:37:28.420 --> 06:37:34.420
On the scoreboarding, you just feel like there is more, plenty more where that came from,

06:37:34.420 --> 06:37:40.660
from Rebels. Like I said, are we going to see GK be prepared, be ready with this footage

06:37:40.660 --> 06:37:44.260
that they've had available? I don't think we did, to be honest with you. I think there

06:37:44.260 --> 06:37:49.060
was quite a few things there that Rebels did, but they just didn't really expect. So I now

06:37:49.060 --> 06:37:53.460
am fully on the side of Rebels. Being in the driving seat and GK being in trouble.

06:37:56.180 --> 06:38:02.420
Well, well, well. It's certainly a way to start off with a bang. I really thought for the start

06:38:02.420 --> 06:38:06.700
I think GK were looking good. They got themselves to a birdie. They were doing all that into to open up the floor.

06:38:06.700 --> 06:38:11.820
They were looking perhaps being opened up. Okay, they're starting out good here. Maybe they'll do okay, but frankly

06:38:11.820 --> 06:38:16.820
It's unforgivable to let Dennis let the net like that. I know that we have to say in the view all the models have now

06:38:16.820 --> 06:38:18.820
I wear a bit of information, but at the same time

06:38:19.220 --> 06:38:23.660
You can't be letting us stay in that position in fact when someone on their side was doing that back in the first half

06:38:23.660 --> 06:38:28.300
I want to say it was then who was playing on the snow repel that managed to punish the player sat in that exact position

06:38:28.300 --> 06:38:31.580
position, but it's made where now you're going to see this map pic really starting to come

06:38:31.580 --> 06:38:35.380
into its own when Rebels know these little comfortable spots to play inside of and GK

06:38:35.380 --> 06:38:39.300
maybe aren't quite aware of them.

06:38:39.300 --> 06:38:44.360
Looking at that attacking line up, stagger eyes are immediately drawn towards Sark's

06:38:44.360 --> 06:38:48.740
on the stand, he's going to be looking to play from bottom right, his job will be to

06:38:48.740 --> 06:38:53.980
make it difficult to play from VIP, he wants to get a light screen in between Freezer wall

06:38:53.980 --> 06:38:58.020
to be able to have an impact

06:38:58.020 --> 06:39:00.020
from that position. If we have

06:39:00.020 --> 06:39:02.020
a look, nobody's actually playing

06:39:02.020 --> 06:39:04.020
in the IP at the minute. Lems is

06:39:04.020 --> 06:39:06.020
kind of nearby. He's in bar, but

06:39:06.020 --> 06:39:08.020
the one that should really

06:39:08.020 --> 06:39:10.020
catching my eye at the boys going

06:39:10.020 --> 06:39:12.020
to be fennel that probably moves

06:39:12.020 --> 06:39:14.020
to be IP is on whites. There's a

06:39:14.020 --> 06:39:16.020
minute one really catching my

06:39:16.020 --> 06:39:18.020
eye, though, is Marto on this

06:39:18.020 --> 06:39:20.020
score post where have we seen

06:39:20.020 --> 06:39:22.020
this before? Well, we saw it in a

06:39:22.020 --> 06:39:24.020
I hope they are, they better

06:39:24.020 --> 06:39:26.020
be, because otherwise might

06:39:26.020 --> 06:39:28.020
will punish them.

06:39:28.020 --> 06:39:30.020
I don't think it will quite be the same play

06:39:30.020 --> 06:39:32.020
given the moment this time around, compared to

06:39:32.020 --> 06:39:34.020
before, but it's certainly not in a bad spot.

06:39:34.020 --> 06:39:36.020
It's a lot of information over, and he can of course

06:39:36.020 --> 06:39:38.020
keep on dancing around upstairs, along with

06:39:38.020 --> 06:39:40.020
the players that are up there looking in towards

06:39:40.020 --> 06:39:42.020
Feno, forcing a bit of poverty.

06:39:42.020 --> 06:39:44.020
He has that ability to move up and down, and once

06:39:44.020 --> 06:39:46.020
he has actually teleported down, it's with him, and that

06:39:46.020 --> 06:39:48.020
feels like a massive risk.

06:39:48.020 --> 06:39:50.020
I think that he might be, as I've now tried to get

06:39:50.020 --> 06:39:56.020
I'll make this a bit of a headache for you, and he even gets away with it.

06:39:56.020 --> 06:39:59.020
Nicely done, but it's still GK with the advanced livermine.

06:39:59.020 --> 06:40:01.020
I've never got the advanced livermine. How the hell is this happening, Tim?

06:40:01.020 --> 06:40:04.020
But answer me versus one. Link, it's a clutch of pick.

06:40:04.020 --> 06:40:07.020
How's GK bringing things all even?

06:40:07.020 --> 06:40:09.020
Does he know that the manager's just inside a wedding?

06:40:09.020 --> 06:40:13.020
I think he does here with the approach, but surely he's been heard.

06:40:13.020 --> 06:40:16.020
Yes, ask is there waiting for four?

06:40:16.020 --> 06:40:20.020
the back end of things. We're

06:40:20.020 --> 06:40:22.020
going to get into this. Oh four

06:40:22.020 --> 06:40:24.020
as GK managed to get themselves

06:40:24.020 --> 06:40:26.020
a successful attack. And that

06:40:26.020 --> 06:40:28.020
might just put the cat amongst

06:40:28.020 --> 06:40:30.020
the pigeons a little bit there

06:40:30.020 --> 06:40:32.020
does because rebels looked so

06:40:32.020 --> 06:40:34.020
comfortable in round seven. But

06:40:34.020 --> 06:40:36.020
GK have just shown that they

06:40:36.020 --> 06:40:38.020
two are here to play. Yeah, this

06:40:38.020 --> 06:40:40.020
will get interesting. Now if we

06:40:40.020 --> 06:40:41.020
keep on getting into this

06:40:41.020 --> 06:40:42.020
exchange, you could find ourselves

06:40:42.020 --> 06:40:44.020
pushing even towards OT. Towards

06:40:44.020 --> 06:40:49.700
games went to OT, one was a 7-5, we've of course had a 7-3 back in Mat 1, you could still

06:40:49.700 --> 06:40:53.620
see it going down to the wire again, we haven't seen GK playing this map all that much, only

06:40:53.620 --> 06:40:58.180
in the Belgian Masters. So Rebels, there's more tape on them, there's more that GK can

06:40:58.180 --> 06:41:02.020
learn to respond to, good response from them in the second round there at this half, lets

06:41:02.020 --> 06:41:03.860
see who gets into the lead in round 9.

06:41:03.860 --> 06:41:05.860
Attackers have located a bomb.

06:41:06.860 --> 06:41:11.860
Still avoiding the top floor, which is what I love to see.

06:41:11.860 --> 06:41:13.860
Thank you, GK. Thank you, Rebels.

06:41:13.860 --> 06:41:15.860
I think somebody's starting to listen to me finally, does that?

06:41:15.860 --> 06:41:16.860
I don't know.

06:41:16.860 --> 06:41:20.860
Maybe if you're just looking at the numbers and seeing that it doesn't add up for the top floor,

06:41:20.860 --> 06:41:22.860
it's never got a good defensive win rate.

06:41:22.860 --> 06:41:25.860
So, here we go into round nine,

06:41:25.860 --> 06:41:29.860
not necessarily as impactful as I often talk about.

06:41:29.860 --> 06:41:41.860
If we're at a 5-3 here, then this could be absolutely a game defining when we're at a 4-4, a little bit less sore, because the only thing you're going to get out of this one really is a small marginal advantage.

06:41:41.860 --> 06:41:57.860
Drank ten, that becomes more important now. It has that extra weight in a 4-4, because that's going to be the one that decides who gets those match points attempts, and many of the get, being the point of particular importance.

06:41:57.860 --> 06:42:00.900
Absolutely, again, more of the same with the Nomad, and the gridlock being rolled out.

06:42:00.900 --> 06:42:04.180
We've seen one of these banned away, the Nomad being taken away back in the first half.

06:42:04.180 --> 06:42:07.060
Very curious to see if that is the case from the end of round nine,

06:42:07.060 --> 06:42:11.620
but Reville certainly though it striped me as a team to maybe play as aggressively as what GK may want to.

06:42:11.620 --> 06:42:14.740
They have that moment, it's in Lincourid's some real cool spots, it's in Federer's spots,

06:42:14.740 --> 06:42:16.740
it's in Martyn playing on the squat box as well.

06:42:16.740 --> 06:42:18.020
They can do it.

06:42:18.020 --> 06:42:22.420
I'm just don't quite want to invest the baton in to be able to play or enable that play style off the back of this.

06:42:22.420 --> 06:42:24.660
We'll see what happens when we get there.

06:42:24.660 --> 06:42:29.060
still financially taking it slowly and carefully on their focus and getting top-floor control

06:42:29.060 --> 06:42:33.140
then cute dancing around inside a bar just underneath a skylight here not under immediate

06:42:33.140 --> 06:42:37.300
threat and can drop away just be careful of course they don't lose no door otherwise that drop

06:42:37.300 --> 06:42:42.180
starts to look a little bit precarious yeah there is an angle that can challenge on to this position

06:42:42.180 --> 06:42:47.940
from pillars window but linkort is well aware there's a play there nitro goes out as well

06:42:47.940 --> 06:42:54.260
unsuccessfully but a bit of damage has crept on to starts from that explosive and inside you

06:42:54.260 --> 06:42:57.780
You know what? They know I'm here. It's time to get out of this fight.

06:42:57.780 --> 06:43:02.620
One minute 30, GK. Not really, or not at all, inside of the building at the minute.

06:43:02.620 --> 06:43:04.420
Not getting themselves established.

06:43:04.420 --> 06:43:07.020
That is like just stalling out a little bit.

06:43:09.020 --> 06:43:10.500
So, it's the worry.

06:43:10.500 --> 06:43:12.180
Just being mindful that it might as well start to raise a signal.

06:43:12.180 --> 06:43:13.100
In this case, it's just a raise.

06:43:13.100 --> 06:43:16.060
It's just Groovy eats yet another.

06:43:16.060 --> 06:43:16.900
They are torturous.

06:43:16.900 --> 06:43:17.780
When the stats have been closed,

06:43:17.780 --> 06:43:19.220
proximity to each other is vile.

06:43:19.220 --> 06:43:23.500
You feel that you can't move without setting off a landmine somewhere nearby.

06:43:23.500 --> 06:43:28.740
I'm with you too, I'm looking a little bit stuck, they've got the verticals they need, they're probably thinking about an execute here, but Feno once again,

06:43:29.240 --> 06:43:31.600
has got himself in underneath on that mossy.

06:43:31.800 --> 06:43:34.360
Do they know that he's there? I don't think they do, you know.

06:43:34.500 --> 06:43:37.400
They know that he's seen four game on towards this window, but that is all they know.

06:43:39.500 --> 06:43:51.700
Work now needs to be done, gonna clear off the electroclaw, so that is gonna be the hatch opening up, 45 seconds left to go, still lots of work to be done if you have a look at the side of Rebels as well, no chip damage whatsoever.

06:43:51.700 --> 06:43:55.620
They cannot decide a GK, so they really need to find them.

06:43:55.620 --> 06:43:58.340
So they've just put really clean kills here.

06:43:58.340 --> 06:44:01.420
They need to just get some where they don't take any damage,

06:44:01.420 --> 06:44:02.740
where they don't get seen.

06:44:02.740 --> 06:44:04.820
And it just gives them that little advantage.

06:44:04.820 --> 06:44:06.140
25 seconds left to go.

06:44:06.140 --> 06:44:07.020
They're not going to check this.

06:44:07.020 --> 06:44:08.820
It's absolutely no chance.

06:44:08.820 --> 06:44:12.140
This is going to be, I think, a round-running position.

06:44:12.140 --> 06:44:14.020
Oh, no, and they know that he's dropped as well.

06:44:14.020 --> 06:44:15.900
And then we have for a plant in the back corner.

06:44:15.900 --> 06:44:18.060
Oh, you couldn't make it more perfect for him.

06:44:18.060 --> 06:44:19.900
A golden chance to spring up, and there we go.

06:44:19.900 --> 06:44:23.820
on to the man getting the diffuser down. Panic stations down for the side of TK at

06:44:23.820 --> 06:44:30.860
Miss Droning. They're going to hold on rebels. They're going to find the round win off the

06:44:30.860 --> 06:44:36.220
back of Feno. Being a nice little wrath. Yeah, what a play that was. Like you say, sometimes

06:44:36.220 --> 06:44:40.860
you've just got to roll the dice. Take that gamble that you don't get picked up and TK,

06:44:40.860 --> 06:44:44.620
they cannot let them get away with that. I said coming in here maybe they'd have that

06:44:44.620 --> 06:44:48.860
bit of extra intel. They'd have that bit of extra information be well prepared, but they

06:44:48.860 --> 06:44:52.660
you're not going to be able to

06:44:52.660 --> 06:44:54.560
get into the game. They just

06:44:54.560 --> 06:44:56.560
really haven't shown it is so

06:44:56.560 --> 06:44:58.560
far on the attack and missing

06:44:58.560 --> 06:45:00.660
crucial areas. It's an easy area

06:45:00.660 --> 06:45:02.360
to this because it's not often

06:45:02.360 --> 06:45:04.360
that you get players playing

06:45:04.360 --> 06:45:06.360
inside of there, but. It is

06:45:06.360 --> 06:45:07.360
still just shows how

06:45:07.360 --> 06:45:08.360
essential it is when you're

06:45:08.360 --> 06:45:09.360
doing that drawing work that

06:45:09.360 --> 06:45:11.360
you are checking every single

06:45:11.360 --> 06:45:13.360
corner every single pixel to

06:45:13.360 --> 06:45:14.360
see exactly what is going on

06:45:14.360 --> 06:45:16.360
ahead of you before you end up

06:45:16.360 --> 06:45:18.360
in that late round situation.

06:45:18.360 --> 06:45:20.360
it's not a good idea. We've

06:45:20.360 --> 06:45:21.360
got to go to the right. We've

06:45:21.360 --> 06:45:22.360
got to go to the right. We've

06:45:22.360 --> 06:45:23.360
got to go to the right. We've

06:45:23.360 --> 06:45:24.360
got to draw on anymore. We've

06:45:24.360 --> 06:45:25.360
got to drop. We've got to go

06:45:25.360 --> 06:45:26.360
for this, and it crumbles. It

06:45:26.360 --> 06:45:27.360
falls apart, so they take a

06:45:27.360 --> 06:45:28.360
tactical time. Yeah,

06:45:28.360 --> 06:45:29.360
understandably. Otherwise

06:45:29.360 --> 06:45:30.360
again, border is waiting around

06:45:30.360 --> 06:45:31.360
the corner, and we often say

06:45:31.360 --> 06:45:33.360
this about the map. I normally

06:45:33.360 --> 06:45:34.360
hate given very generic like

06:45:34.360 --> 06:45:36.360
descriptions of maps, but it is

06:45:36.360 --> 06:45:37.360
one of those maps where it

06:45:37.360 --> 06:45:38.360
becomes very importantly

06:45:38.360 --> 06:45:39.360
based around the gunplay

06:45:39.360 --> 06:45:40.360
because it is such an

06:45:40.360 --> 06:45:41.360
aggressive map and defenders

06:45:41.360 --> 06:45:43.360
are somewhat of a disadvantage.

06:45:43.360 --> 06:45:45.360
Lots of external facing soft

06:45:45.360 --> 06:45:46.360
walls, doorways accessing

06:45:46.360 --> 06:45:47.360
towards site. You have to go

06:46:17.360 --> 06:46:22.360
the next two rounds and just get this caused out. I don't know, I've just got a feeling

06:46:22.360 --> 06:46:26.360
like I said, GK missing that drawing. There's just those little mistakes creeping in and

06:46:26.360 --> 06:46:32.360
if Rebels can continue to punish them, it's going to be a tough finish for them. But I

06:46:32.360 --> 06:46:37.360
say looking towards border as well with the way that Rebels are playing those little pocket

06:46:37.360 --> 06:46:43.360
plays, you know, are going to really come to the floor on a map like border. So that's

06:46:43.360 --> 06:46:45.360
that's going to be a

06:46:45.460 --> 06:46:47.360
big difference between 55 and

06:46:47.460 --> 06:46:49.360
64. That is. The change that

06:46:49.460 --> 06:46:51.360
we're going to see is one of

06:46:51.460 --> 06:46:53.360
those swing grounds where we

06:46:53.460 --> 06:46:55.360
see either a team take a

06:46:55.460 --> 06:46:57.360
commanding lead, which would

06:46:57.460 --> 06:47:00.360
be rebels or the slugfest that

06:47:00.460 --> 06:47:03.360
this one has been continues.

06:47:03.460 --> 06:47:05.360
All right, let's see if that

06:47:05.460 --> 06:47:07.360
timeout has a big impact across

06:47:07.460 --> 06:47:08.360
the next quarter if you don't

06:47:08.460 --> 06:47:09.360
drop on the free, there's

06:47:09.460 --> 06:47:10.360
fans coming out, interestingly

06:47:10.460 --> 06:47:11.360
they're leaning towards that

06:47:11.360 --> 06:47:15.120
coming out, interestingly they're leaning towards that mozzie probably realizing that hey,

06:47:15.120 --> 06:47:18.400
they're punishing us hard on the intel denial, we've got to find something to do about that,

06:47:18.400 --> 06:47:22.080
fenn has had a bit too much fun with the operator, he's going to get taken away from him,

06:47:22.080 --> 06:47:25.520
mistake on the other side, pairing up with the duckabee also makes a hell of a lot of sense,

06:47:25.520 --> 06:47:29.600
really only leaving them with a day must play behind if they want to lean towards it.

06:47:29.600 --> 06:47:32.960
So far, not blowing with it on the gk side, they're sticking to what they've used in all of

06:47:32.960 --> 06:47:36.800
that so far and making sure they've still got that double flat flank watch on the go.

06:47:36.800 --> 06:47:39.840
Though a thing as we've seen, and maybe it's more of a symptom of seeing these top rotors on

06:47:39.840 --> 06:47:43.440
side, we haven't seen plans to be a part of the game for the rebels. They've been very, very happy

06:47:43.440 --> 06:47:48.720
just noticing GK late into the rounds. GK certainly learning their lesson that we spoke about with

06:47:48.720 --> 06:47:54.400
the droning, then picking up on Marto who was trying to hide away behind that small bar inside a

06:47:54.400 --> 06:48:00.480
piano, doesn't get away with it and has to dip out, but we do still have Yo-Kai drones active on

06:48:00.480 --> 06:48:06.000
the highlight now, and it is always something to remember, especially as the round goes on in those

06:48:06.000 --> 06:48:12.160
final 20 30 seconds those two drones could be decisive and looking at the side of GK they have

06:48:12.160 --> 06:48:17.760
nothing on side to deal with them other than spotting them and shooting them no IQ no Thatcher

06:48:17.760 --> 06:48:25.760
no pocket EMPs nothing to be able to disrupt them so that is yet another problem stacked up against GK

06:48:27.600 --> 06:48:30.720
it's literally good again they'll just sit back here they'll just stay behind yeah you guys get

06:48:30.720 --> 06:48:34.000
your verticals you get your hatches open this is no bother by all she keep doing your thing

06:48:34.000 --> 06:48:38.960
It's taken them over half the round to get to this position, while there are still a

06:48:38.960 --> 06:48:43.000
few nays, the rain downstairs and verticals working up and so on and so forth.

06:48:43.000 --> 06:48:46.000
I don't remember if they'll be all that too bothered, but it's nice to play behind.

06:48:46.000 --> 06:48:50.000
They've still got the outliers, they've still got glale canisters around the map too.

06:48:50.000 --> 06:48:54.000
You know, you've got to be really careful here, the time running away from them.

06:48:54.000 --> 06:48:59.000
Just trying to see if they can get anything going from a buff here, but like you say,

06:48:59.000 --> 06:49:03.000
time is the factor, it was the factor in the last round, and they're having that kind

06:49:03.000 --> 06:49:21.000
You're not going to get that opportunity to you have to start moving elsewhere, you know, maybe bring your shield along to disrupt them, get them moving. That's what you need. They're not going to stand still under the verticals. You've got to force them under there. You've got to get in there and get them moving, but for the time being, they think they'd find a little bit of space to put that diffuser down.

06:49:21.000 --> 06:49:25.000
the verticals. You've got to force them under there. You've got to get in there and get them moving.

06:49:25.000 --> 06:49:28.680
But for the time being, they think they've found a little bit of space to put that diffuser down.

06:49:28.680 --> 06:49:34.360
I did speak about the Yo-Kai drones. They haven't dealt with them. 15 seconds left to go. One plant

06:49:34.360 --> 06:49:40.040
attempt has been denied. Yoga, holding onto it is just continuing to wait for his opportunity.

06:49:40.040 --> 06:49:43.960
A little bit of aggression from the Yo-Kai. Maybe it gives an opportunity for GK though.

06:49:43.960 --> 06:49:50.680
Four versus two as the kills come in with the back stab. But here we go. The Yo-Kai does the job.

06:49:51.000 --> 06:49:54.800
They have to make it stick. They can't find it, Dez!

06:49:54.800 --> 06:49:57.600
How do they let the Yo-Kai get away with that?

06:49:57.600 --> 06:49:59.800
There was two of them looking for it.

06:50:02.000 --> 06:50:04.600
A bit of heartbreak, I think it's fair to say, Tim.

06:50:04.600 --> 06:50:06.600
But we've been calling it with about 60 seconds left.

06:50:06.600 --> 06:50:08.200
There were still a few things to do,

06:50:08.200 --> 06:50:09.600
and they had to deal with smokes.

06:50:09.600 --> 06:50:11.000
They had to deal with glow canisters.

06:50:11.000 --> 06:50:12.800
They had to deal with Yo-Kai's,

06:50:12.800 --> 06:50:16.000
and they have paid the price for it there.

06:50:16.000 --> 06:50:18.000
A very critical round, though,

06:50:18.000 --> 06:50:20.200
as, again, it moves Rebels one step closer

06:50:20.200 --> 06:50:24.140
the way that they're trying to

06:50:25.900 --> 06:50:29.640
do. It's just that level of

06:50:29.640 --> 06:50:31.640
preparation. I know that they've

06:50:31.640 --> 06:50:33.000
brought a lineup that they think

06:50:33.000 --> 06:50:34.640
has everything they need. You

06:50:34.640 --> 06:50:36.500
know, everybody has been brought

06:50:36.500 --> 06:50:37.500
along for a specific purpose.

06:50:37.500 --> 06:50:39.400
But if they've seen the echo in

06:50:39.400 --> 06:50:41.400
the setup, why is there not an

06:50:41.400 --> 06:50:43.400
IQ? Why is they not a thatcher?

06:50:43.400 --> 06:50:44.400
Why are they no pocket EMPs? Why

06:50:44.400 --> 06:50:46.400
is there nothing to deal with

06:50:46.400 --> 06:50:48.400
that utility? Both of those

06:51:18.400 --> 06:51:21.580
simple as that we often say it about getting kills by winning gunfights in

06:51:21.580 --> 06:51:25.380
that case you got to hit the York eyes

06:51:25.900 --> 06:51:30.220
all right well Marta is back up to his usual madness his usual tricks Tim

06:51:30.220 --> 06:51:33.740
running around on the Scott Boss and again we've now got alternative stall

06:51:33.740 --> 06:51:38.340
coming out in the sides itself a clash on size it's an Akai in awful lock

06:51:38.340 --> 06:51:40.620
throughout this half and maybe you're understanding now why so many teams

06:51:40.620 --> 06:51:44.740
choose to ban away both of the electro bros Akai especially often is a target

06:52:14.740 --> 06:52:18.860
off to the right, the nerd is going to take that out, so Marto's now going to be locked

06:52:18.860 --> 06:52:23.740
into top floor, which is where he has just gone to. He's actually moving his way back

06:52:23.740 --> 06:52:27.700
down, why it's there's again here looking to get aggressive. I think they are going

06:52:27.700 --> 06:52:34.140
to know he's positioned up as we see these, the first three, they're coming in and detonate.

06:52:34.140 --> 06:52:38.940
One minute 30 and again GK struggling to get themselves into this one beyond that entry

06:52:38.940 --> 06:52:44.940
They've got a lot of time to work with this main gun, right?

06:52:44.940 --> 06:52:46.940
My main worry now really is the limbs.

06:52:46.940 --> 06:52:48.940
You could have already worked through all those impacts, for example.

06:52:48.940 --> 06:52:50.940
They've got another nade, they can still roll in.

06:52:50.940 --> 06:52:53.940
And then I'll just ignore the limbs and show them through here.

06:52:53.940 --> 06:52:56.940
They've come up with their choice, and that's their last frag.

06:52:56.940 --> 06:53:00.940
They now have no way to make him move, and that could be a problem.

06:53:30.940 --> 06:53:38.020
Confident there's no need to let so he's just waiting for those easy facts that he can take on but as they move around to bakery

06:53:38.020 --> 06:53:42.000
It becomes more difficult for him sarks picks up the kill four versus two

06:53:43.220 --> 06:53:46.940
Again, I was really nervous then that we would see GK struggle to remove that

06:53:49.820 --> 06:53:53.620
Nice shot in the back from you prevent three versus one Marta got it all to do

06:53:54.300 --> 06:53:56.620
Casting get away with me knows the plants going down. He's heard it

06:53:56.620 --> 06:53:58.620
We're going to find his man

06:54:00.940 --> 06:54:04.220
He's going to relocate it over into the right side, maybe into the right side as well here.

06:54:04.220 --> 06:54:07.100
This is getting a little bit precarious now, it's been found the right spot on the vertical,

06:54:07.100 --> 06:54:10.220
it could have been all over but no realises he won't be able to get away with it.

06:54:10.220 --> 06:54:14.260
If the user will go down, which means it's a bit of a fight back here for Marto to try

06:54:14.260 --> 06:54:16.980
and keep his team going and get this into a 7-4.

06:54:16.980 --> 06:54:22.380
Sarcisk gets the shot, GK takes us to round 12 but needs to win it to send this into overtime.

06:54:22.380 --> 06:54:27.300
Yeah, it's a big ask here for them to get it done, they sort of keep grabbing, they grabbed round 8,

06:54:27.300 --> 06:54:38.140
they've grabbed round 11, they're just managing to get sort of one attack, but that 3-3 half might just come back to back them when they struggled to get any more defences done.

06:54:38.140 --> 06:54:47.580
I said at the time that 4-2 felt kind of essential for them, but we will just have to wait and see how it works out.

06:54:47.580 --> 06:54:57.100
We're just getting replayed out of the beautiful Intel. What a really nice kill from Sarcester. Sometimes the stars just align for you and you just get those

06:54:57.100 --> 06:55:01.100
to be able to do it. It's a

06:55:01.200 --> 06:55:03.100
big opportunity. It's easy

06:55:03.200 --> 06:55:07.100
opportunities, but. Right now.

06:55:07.200 --> 06:55:09.100
It is on the line for rebels.

06:55:09.200 --> 06:55:11.100
He sports World Cup. They want

06:55:11.200 --> 06:55:13.100
to be there. I mean, you know,

06:55:13.200 --> 06:55:15.100
we haven't even really mentioned

06:55:15.200 --> 06:55:17.100
for these two all works. Obviously

06:55:17.200 --> 06:55:18.100
it's a big opportunity for

06:55:18.200 --> 06:55:19.100
everybody. There's a lot of

06:55:19.200 --> 06:55:20.100
money on the line. You know,

06:55:20.200 --> 06:55:22.100
it's the prestige of it. There's

06:55:22.200 --> 06:55:23.100
the chance of the six

06:55:23.200 --> 06:55:25.100
imitational direct qualification

06:55:25.200 --> 06:55:26.100
for the winners. Yep. You know,

06:55:26.100 --> 06:55:32.300
You know for all type gk all type rebels that are here in eml getting themselves established

06:55:32.300 --> 06:55:39.540
You know building the teams getting that level of experience and that level of exposure within the tournament as well within stage

06:55:39.540 --> 06:55:41.540
It's absolutely brilliant for

06:55:43.380 --> 06:55:45.580
All right, well now on ever boys

06:55:46.660 --> 06:55:48.660
Well not quite never

06:55:48.740 --> 06:55:53.140
But how I never to send this one into O.T. or see a clutch spectacularly and see rebels

06:55:53.140 --> 06:55:57.140
forces us into a border to determine who our fourth team from EWOL.

06:55:57.140 --> 06:56:01.140
Fifth team, I guess to me, you could see that I've already qualified by being the winners of it last year.

06:56:01.140 --> 06:56:05.140
So if you're any of you fans rejoiced, we have five EU teams that are going to be there,

06:56:05.140 --> 06:56:08.140
and one of these two will be one of the final two joining us in that spot.

06:56:08.140 --> 06:56:11.140
Now, line-up-wise, again, GK really haven't changed much away,

06:56:11.140 --> 06:56:15.140
and while I've always liked to lean too heavily into this play in the top left corner,

06:56:15.140 --> 06:56:19.140
it looks like they've already tuned their way to the vast majority of drones available to them,

06:56:19.140 --> 06:56:21.140
which means their information in this round is going to be limited.

06:56:21.140 --> 06:56:24.740
But how about that one for Linda Seberg is trying through the window?

06:56:24.740 --> 06:56:26.900
That's, having a good day so far, Tim.

06:56:26.900 --> 06:56:29.380
We've got Linda from map one, here's the six and four.

06:56:29.380 --> 06:56:31.980
Much better than the performance that we saw yesterday.

06:56:33.980 --> 06:56:38.140
It's been comprehensively better, I would say,

06:56:38.140 --> 06:56:39.780
across the first two maps.

06:56:39.780 --> 06:56:43.100
And, I'd say, a really well-timed entry.

06:56:43.100 --> 06:56:46.980
There's only two rounds so far out of the 11 that we've seen,

06:56:46.980 --> 06:56:50.380
where the entry kill has been overturned.

06:57:20.380 --> 06:57:24.540
because we've seen it happen a couple of times and they're just struggling to get this hatch open

06:57:24.540 --> 06:57:29.020
and I just think though we're going to be in that position again where time keeps ticking away.

06:57:31.180 --> 06:57:36.140
Do you get it this time? Yeah, they're finally going to be here. Okay, that's concerning.

06:57:36.140 --> 06:57:39.980
It basically has to destroy the entirety of Pounder's team to finally get rid of it and realize

06:57:39.980 --> 06:57:43.580
oh we can just get up to hatch this time. A bit longer than they'd like as we come down to the

06:57:43.580 --> 06:57:48.140
last 50 here. As we said it's sort of a now or never if you want to keep yourself going on cafe

06:57:48.140 --> 06:57:52.460
or it's over and done with. Just checking that spot in case we need to find someone right in there.

06:57:52.460 --> 06:57:57.220
I know he's dead so it won't be him. They've got the man advantage to him, but certainly do not have the clock advantage.

06:57:57.220 --> 06:58:01.900
No, no, it's all and I think that's what rebels are relying on at the minute.

06:58:01.900 --> 06:58:07.820
Just waiting for that sand to pass on through for that time to flip away.

06:58:07.820 --> 06:58:12.140
Nitro goes out, quick kills come in, the plant is successful though.

06:58:12.140 --> 06:58:16.140
It looks like they might have this one done. They've got a player down start.

06:58:16.140 --> 06:58:20.480
He will hit the deck for versus one the big question that will follow

06:58:20.480 --> 06:58:25.820
There's his who is on which side for all the time. It's gonna be exciting to see

06:58:25.820 --> 06:58:30.760
We have a lens just dancing around trying to get anything going the know exactly where he is

06:58:30.760 --> 06:58:34.820
They cut him down to the wall and we are going to overtime does

06:58:36.000 --> 06:58:39.260
It's been a bit of a battle, but they have got there

06:58:39.260 --> 06:58:42.320
They've got a golden opportunity here to sew this one up

06:58:42.320 --> 06:58:46.400
And I imagine that we're gonna see rebels being on the defense to kick things off

06:58:46.400 --> 06:58:49.420
It was their map pick which means GK got to pick the side in the first half

06:58:49.420 --> 06:58:52.480
They chose defense and means the rebels get the pick at OT

06:58:52.640 --> 06:58:58.060
It would only make sense for them to go on the defense. However, it has been three three halves

06:58:58.060 --> 06:58:59.900
Both teams showing they can get attacks done

06:58:59.900 --> 06:59:05.200
It just took a little bit of time I feel for GK to really warm into those last two rounds have been brilliant from them

06:59:05.440 --> 06:59:08.100
Rebels would be kicking themselves here to if they can't get it done in OT

06:59:08.100 --> 06:59:11.800
And what could have been they were up six and four a golden chance to see it done

06:59:11.800 --> 06:59:16.800
they've been. They've been

06:59:16.800 --> 06:59:17.500
able to win, but couldn't win

06:59:17.500 --> 06:59:21.500
either of those finals. Three

06:59:21.500 --> 06:59:23.540
rounds. I think if we have would

06:59:23.540 --> 06:59:24.240
vary, you know, obviously, you

06:59:24.240 --> 06:59:25.800
know, very much expect rebels

06:59:25.800 --> 06:59:26.780
to be on the defense. As you

06:59:26.780 --> 06:59:27.780
say they will go to reading

06:59:27.780 --> 06:59:28.780
room, which is exactly what

06:59:28.780 --> 06:59:30.320
they've done. That's going to

06:59:30.320 --> 06:59:31.480
be because they've won it twice.

06:59:31.480 --> 06:59:33.520
So the attacks that have been

06:59:33.520 --> 06:59:35.320
won by GK have been kitchen

06:59:35.320 --> 06:59:36.320
ball times and then one fire

06:59:36.320 --> 06:59:40.320
place. So rebels are going to

06:59:40.320 --> 06:59:43.520
They really need to try if they come in here and take reading room

06:59:44.280 --> 06:59:49.240
Yes, they just need the just they just need to get one of those other sites done

06:59:49.600 --> 06:59:54.380
You know GK are in a position where they've won the other two sites that are likely to be chosen

06:59:54.380 --> 07:00:00.240
Both rebels could choose to go top floor. I know that I criticize it a lot. I'm not a big fan of top floor

07:00:00.240 --> 07:00:02.240
It's a very 50 50 site for defenders

07:00:02.240 --> 07:00:04.600
But having not played it so far in the map

07:00:04.600 --> 07:00:11.420
It could be a little bit of a curve ball for rebels to use in that final round to just kind of chuck it in there and see

07:00:11.420 --> 07:00:17.580
You know how GK get on attacking it that is great from the twitch drone taking out those walking canisters

07:00:17.580 --> 07:00:20.180
So early in the round to free up the plant spot

07:00:21.960 --> 07:00:26.300
I guess the nice thing is because they're on that roll of having one to two like you probably getting a little bit of a mountain

07:00:26.300 --> 07:00:29.060
They which can be all the difference they could have it still in two here GK

07:00:29.700 --> 07:00:32.060
Just do me that they get this one doing that properly

07:00:32.060 --> 07:00:33.700
They are bringing themselves down to the top.

07:00:33.700 --> 07:00:36.820
They aren't being stung out by things like Yo-Kai's granted.

07:00:36.820 --> 07:00:38.660
Deon available in the round starts going down early,

07:00:38.660 --> 07:00:41.300
so they're not going to help too much, but it's recoverable.

07:00:41.300 --> 07:00:42.620
He's on his backside up on the roof,

07:00:42.620 --> 07:00:45.420
so he's in a pretty safe spot to be able to get himself back up a fenno.

07:00:45.420 --> 07:00:47.260
Chocorin's going to find herself a new home,

07:00:47.260 --> 07:00:51.220
a new hole to crawl into to cool his little rat hole.

07:00:54.980 --> 07:00:58.620
You just hear that GK really could do with the entry kill here

07:00:58.620 --> 07:01:01.100
as they wanted to pick up another attack,

07:01:01.100 --> 07:01:05.660
especially given reading room is one that they struggled with, missing the shot.

07:01:05.660 --> 07:01:09.820
So that's going to leave the FNAT active on the wall, still a lot of top floor presence,

07:01:09.820 --> 07:01:15.980
but there it is, Yupo manages to take down Feno. That leaves Rebels on the back foot again,

07:01:15.980 --> 07:01:23.820
they can't keep fighting these 4v5 battles. GK, time continues to be their battle though,

07:01:23.820 --> 07:01:29.580
halfway through the round, not yet established inside of the map. Not one player for GK is

07:01:29.580 --> 07:01:36.140
inside the map they've got the opening kill yet they haven't really made any progress towards a plant

07:01:36.140 --> 07:01:37.580
or towards site itself

07:01:39.420 --> 07:01:42.380
oh that's all they need there Tim is that second kill to roll on through back on

07:01:42.380 --> 07:01:45.180
shiny they lost a couple of rounds from this position nine to five plus three

07:01:45.740 --> 07:01:50.060
he hears that shot it could have been generational but doesn't quite get away with it linky no

07:01:50.060 --> 07:01:57.660
watch out guys no he's dropped himself onto the tracks and gone down from it that is unfortunate

07:01:57.660 --> 07:02:00.340
But entirely predictable, we saw it coming!

07:02:00.340 --> 07:02:03.740
It's the 3 vs 2, actually even got himself outside surely at this point.

07:02:03.740 --> 07:02:06.340
You'd say hit the site guys, smoke isn't around.

07:02:06.340 --> 07:02:09.620
50 seconds to play with, Alem still dancing around downstairs,

07:02:09.620 --> 07:02:12.420
it could have been a bit of a collapse onto the last man left alive, but no.

07:02:12.420 --> 07:02:15.060
They've still got to try and recover the defuser from top red,

07:02:15.060 --> 07:02:18.020
and then focus on getting themselves down towards these sites.

07:02:18.020 --> 07:02:20.620
There is still every chance that Rebels hold on here,

07:02:20.620 --> 07:02:23.300
given we have three spoke, can the subjective back pocket?

07:02:23.300 --> 07:02:29.960
Yeah, GK just weren't in a position to get aggressive as they might have liked their starting to work the book now

07:02:29.960 --> 07:02:35.740
Yoga does have diffuser in hand, but that's a really important kill here after managing to pick up past

07:02:35.900 --> 07:02:43.480
Starks law health after law health. This is gonna be a nail batter right down to the wire 15 seconds left to go

07:02:43.480 --> 07:02:48.180
A little bit of reaching going on socks. I don't think they're aware of his position here

07:02:48.180 --> 07:02:52.520
He might be able to hold on as yoga gets the lens and starts putting the diffuser down

07:02:52.520 --> 07:02:55.080
and he's got the cross, surely he gets the kill.

07:02:55.080 --> 07:02:56.240
Yes, he does.

07:02:56.240 --> 07:02:59.840
GK take the lead and move on to the defense.

07:02:59.840 --> 07:03:03.040
They've got two chances now to lock this out

07:03:03.040 --> 07:03:06.760
and secure their place at the eSports World Cup.

07:03:06.760 --> 07:03:08.040
Another fantastic attack.

07:03:08.040 --> 07:03:10.040
They've got a little bit ropey in the middle team,

07:03:10.040 --> 07:03:13.360
but they managed to pull out a brilliant play towards the end.

07:03:13.360 --> 07:03:14.480
Yes, there was three versus two.

07:03:14.480 --> 07:03:16.400
Yes, they let it go to a 2v2,

07:03:16.400 --> 07:03:18.080
but Yogg opens things up with that kill,

07:03:18.080 --> 07:03:20.080
forcing it into a two versus one,

07:03:20.080 --> 07:03:23.120
and the team play was excellent there towards the end.

07:03:23.120 --> 07:03:27.040
Now the question is, can Rebels fight their way back in?

07:03:27.040 --> 07:03:28.880
They started this match so strong,

07:03:28.880 --> 07:03:30.360
again they were up six and four,

07:03:30.360 --> 07:03:33.960
it looks all but destined to be going to border.

07:03:33.960 --> 07:03:35.200
But they've let it come down to this,

07:03:35.200 --> 07:03:37.760
where GK are now in the lead.

07:03:37.760 --> 07:03:39.880
For the second time in this game,

07:03:39.880 --> 07:03:41.600
and it feels good that without momentum,

07:03:41.600 --> 07:03:44.360
they might be able to just get it done.

07:03:44.360 --> 07:03:46.760
I don't think anyone, I feel privileged,

07:03:46.760 --> 07:03:49.200
I don't feel like he had any idea

07:03:49.200 --> 07:03:52.840
that one of the tracks that obviously had gone off the edge.

07:03:52.840 --> 07:03:55.800
It's one of those where it's just, you know,

07:03:55.800 --> 07:03:58.680
a terrible look that just happens to be one

07:03:58.680 --> 07:04:00.880
that's spawned over, well, there's a couple

07:04:00.880 --> 07:04:03.480
that's spawned over the edge, but one of them is right there

07:04:03.480 --> 07:04:05.360
where you're gonna drop down onto,

07:04:05.360 --> 07:04:08.720
and you've got just not enough health to survive it.

07:04:08.720 --> 07:04:11.840
And I think he goes over, and he makes the choice, obviously,

07:04:11.840 --> 07:04:13.360
that I just need to get through these

07:04:13.360 --> 07:04:14.760
because I'm being challenged, I'm being pushed,

07:04:14.760 --> 07:04:15.800
I don't wanna die.

07:04:15.800 --> 07:04:17.760
So he makes the choice, I've just gotta get through these

07:04:17.760 --> 07:04:18.600
and go over the edge.

07:04:18.600 --> 07:04:22.760
I think it's one of those where you probably take that first step over the edgingy thing.

07:04:22.760 --> 07:04:24.560
Heh. I don't get it.

07:04:24.560 --> 07:04:27.880
Yeah, you just, there's nothing. You can't change it on the lay down.

07:04:27.880 --> 07:04:30.680
You know, there's absolutely nothing you can do. You know what's going on.

07:04:30.680 --> 07:04:31.960
I mean, you could shoot it.

07:04:31.960 --> 07:04:35.640
It'd have to be, you know, a hell of a quick thought, wouldn't it?

07:04:35.640 --> 07:04:37.640
And there was somebody waiting on pillow windows.

07:04:37.640 --> 07:04:40.960
Just, I'd just feel for it. It was just such a tough situation.

07:04:40.960 --> 07:04:42.960
But look, we've got Linko.

07:04:42.960 --> 07:04:44.960
Linko, that's the important part.

07:04:44.960 --> 07:04:50.960
That's certainly not going to help in this situation.

07:04:50.960 --> 07:04:52.960
Taking some damage early in the round.

07:04:52.960 --> 07:04:55.960
The big question for me is how do they deal with Mato on the shield?

07:04:55.960 --> 07:04:59.960
It is something that Rebels used well previously.

07:04:59.960 --> 07:05:03.960
If we have a look at GK's history, we're looking at Kichun.

07:05:03.960 --> 07:05:07.960
They were only able to play this once and they got one win there.

07:05:07.960 --> 07:05:11.960
So it is 100% for them, but only out of one attempt.

07:05:11.960 --> 07:05:18.960
This is going to be a hair as a hold on to your hat because who knows which way this is going.

07:05:19.960 --> 07:05:24.960
There's no change in terms of approach to, again, looking in towards the lineup.

07:05:24.960 --> 07:05:27.960
So, what's the result this fall last time they were playing on this side?

07:05:27.960 --> 07:05:31.960
It didn't manage to win it, bearing in mind this was way back when in round four then this fall,

07:05:31.960 --> 07:05:32.960
she could have come out on top of this one.

07:05:32.960 --> 07:05:35.960
It was a flawless round of that in this work, Justin.

07:05:35.960 --> 07:05:38.960
There is work for Rebels to do, and I say work.

07:05:38.960 --> 07:05:43.960
They've lost the lens and of course got the half HP Lincoln should actually not looking pretty

07:05:45.120 --> 07:05:48.700
No, it's gonna really slow them down losing the sledge. They've got the

07:05:49.360 --> 07:05:54.520
Shorty the super shorty of gridlock, but you know those really not really recent changes

07:05:54.520 --> 07:06:00.460
But the changes that the super so you look how limited the destruction is on it like it's it just takes an absolute age

07:06:00.960 --> 07:06:04.520
To get through there and you don't have any more boogie drones

07:06:04.520 --> 07:06:09.320
So you kind of locked into what you've got GK. They're gonna give you absolutely nothing here

07:06:09.320 --> 07:06:15.380
They're gonna try and keep themselves away from sight as much as possible and force you to play on in five versus four

07:06:15.380 --> 07:06:18.280
And GK you've got a like them for it at the minute

07:06:19.160 --> 07:06:22.320
But the cover is in me with a management show the top half the site is clear

07:06:22.320 --> 07:06:27.480
But of course practice the main worry you just being asked you standing in there ready with that PCSG at range

07:06:28.320 --> 07:06:32.760
So they're trying to force their way to the water not towards the side. They haven't even checked all faked in

07:06:32.760 --> 07:06:42.760
That's the bit of a car crash disaster. They've dumped everything. Every smoke has been deployed. The glass has been in position. They've tried to make a plan happen, but they get nothing.

07:06:42.760 --> 07:06:47.760
A 4 vs 2 breaks out. Fenner and Lincoln to keep the dream alive. Otherwise, GK goes to EWC.

07:06:47.760 --> 07:06:53.760
Certainly looking that way. Linkor takes a lot of damage as well. Fenner manages to find Asp but they know where he's coming from.

07:06:53.760 --> 07:06:59.560
starts picks him up from court check and that leaves it all up to lingo not just one HP and a dream for him

07:06:59.560 --> 07:07:05.680
There's one HP and the dream of his entire team. He tries to move down to the bottom of red stairs

07:07:05.680 --> 07:07:07.680
He knows this one lap

07:07:07.680 --> 07:07:13.180
Starks finds his man and GK qualifies to the Esports World Cup

07:07:23.760 --> 07:07:28.560
And they all join our other 4 EU teams at the Esports World Cup 4.

07:07:28.560 --> 07:07:33.040
A chance of winning a significant prize pool and of course the most critical prize of all,

07:07:33.040 --> 07:07:36.160
a spot in the 6th imitational, 2027.

07:07:37.360 --> 07:07:42.960
The scene was brilliant performance there as GK closed it out and we can send it over to our desk

07:07:42.960 --> 07:07:45.360
to see what they think of the qualification.

07:07:45.360 --> 07:07:52.400
Thank you very much guys, once again the GK ate incredible resilience coming back from map points

07:07:52.400 --> 07:07:55.680
and maps points to qualify to EWC.

07:07:55.680 --> 07:07:56.960
So very well deserved.

07:07:56.960 --> 07:07:59.920
They turned a series around, but 2-0 was a statement.

07:07:59.920 --> 07:08:00.560
Yeah, I think so.

07:08:00.560 --> 07:08:02.560
I think especially having a bit of heart,

07:08:02.560 --> 07:08:05.920
you know, they were down after their first half

07:08:05.920 --> 07:08:06.800
when they were on the defense.

07:08:06.800 --> 07:08:08.320
They maybe felt that they could have done better,

07:08:08.320 --> 07:08:09.440
I think, 3-3 split.

07:08:09.440 --> 07:08:11.680
Maybe they could have done better in all honesty.

07:08:11.680 --> 07:08:13.760
And then actually, they were getting styled on just a little bit.

07:08:13.760 --> 07:08:16.000
You saw Big Ace coming out, was it Feno?

07:08:16.000 --> 07:08:17.680
Yeah, that's the realm.

07:08:17.680 --> 07:08:19.440
As you can see here, Big Ace coming out,

07:08:19.440 --> 07:08:20.640
they were getting styled on a little bit.

07:08:20.640 --> 07:08:21.840
They were actually really struggling,

07:08:21.840 --> 07:08:24.340
and they needed to find a way to win, and they've done it.

07:08:24.340 --> 07:08:25.900
And I think that's one of the things that I do really like,

07:08:25.900 --> 07:08:27.940
is that they've got a lot of heart and resilience.

07:08:27.940 --> 07:08:31.140
They find a way when they face off against a little bit of a fast.

07:08:31.140 --> 07:08:33.300
Yeah, look at how many of these rounds came down to the last,

07:08:33.300 --> 07:08:33.980
against the other way.

07:08:33.980 --> 07:08:35.600
That's due to the way that Rebels was playing.

07:08:35.600 --> 07:08:37.100
They were trying to play it to the later on,

07:08:37.100 --> 07:08:39.980
trying to force DK into the utility, as we requested.

07:08:39.980 --> 07:08:42.540
I think they saw that it was the right game plan against DK.

07:08:42.540 --> 07:08:44.060
Oh, the crit loud himself.

07:08:44.060 --> 07:08:45.060
The track, yes.

07:08:45.060 --> 07:08:46.500
Big time for tracks to go there.

07:08:46.500 --> 07:08:47.580
In ranks, it was me.

07:08:47.580 --> 07:08:48.500
Yes, I know.

07:08:48.500 --> 07:08:50.980
But this day, it was Rebels.

07:08:50.980 --> 07:08:53.680
And I think overall the plan was good, right?

07:08:53.680 --> 07:08:56.920
Tried to plan into the late round, ready to force them.

07:08:56.920 --> 07:08:58.200
Let's listen to the comes here.

07:08:58.200 --> 07:09:00.960
I just, I just love it.

07:09:00.960 --> 07:09:02.800
I just love it because of so many reasons.

07:09:02.800 --> 07:09:05.200
I think it means a lot for many players

07:09:05.200 --> 07:09:06.760
that are on the Redemption arc.

07:09:06.760 --> 07:09:09.800
How many times have we seen us play for Black Dragons?

07:09:09.800 --> 07:09:12.280
Go to Liquid, get dropped by Liquid, go back to Liquid,

07:09:12.280 --> 07:09:13.240
get dropped again.

07:09:13.240 --> 07:09:15.080
The materials in his players' career.

07:09:15.080 --> 07:09:16.760
The number of times he thought he was gonna stay

07:09:16.760 --> 07:09:19.200
on an active roster and ended up getting kicked off.

07:09:19.200 --> 07:09:20.920
For players like this, it's hard breaks.

07:09:20.920 --> 07:09:24.160
And yet he travels all the way to Europe and rebuilds everything with his roster.

07:09:24.160 --> 07:09:27.160
He has a terrible kickoff and finally leaves up to expectation.

07:09:27.160 --> 07:09:29.400
Yoga, same thing. So many different rosters.

07:09:29.400 --> 07:09:31.840
And yet, never really achieved what he wanted.

07:09:31.840 --> 07:09:34.720
Grubby, how many times did he get benched as well?

07:09:34.720 --> 07:09:36.120
He had to go back to tier two.

07:09:36.120 --> 07:09:39.280
It's basically a redemption story for Sony of these players.

07:09:39.280 --> 07:09:41.800
And it's not, it wasn't just a terrible kickoff as well for this roster.

07:09:41.800 --> 07:09:48.800
Let's not forget, the first three games of this stage, they lost every single one of them.

07:09:48.800 --> 07:09:51.680
They scraped over the landing as heretics and then something changed.

07:09:51.680 --> 07:09:56.120
Then they found a whole load of form and I think that's testament to them because they had to dig deep.

07:09:56.120 --> 07:10:01.720
They had to blend in an American into the roster, a Brazilian into the roster, prominent voices everywhere.

07:10:01.720 --> 07:10:03.320
How does this roster actually function?

07:10:03.320 --> 07:10:07.400
They blended it all in and they've done it well enough that they now qualify to the spot.

07:10:07.400 --> 07:10:11.040
Yeah, we've spoken a lot at length about the quality of this roster, right?

07:10:11.040 --> 07:10:13.080
The experience on it and the playstyle.

07:10:13.080 --> 07:10:18.000
Let's go to abuse where they like to lurk a little bit, where they have the scunter plays or it's really rat plays.

07:10:18.000 --> 07:10:23.200
where they find a gap. But I think the biggest strength from this roster comes exactly from

07:10:23.200 --> 07:10:28.000
the roller coaster carriers of these players. I think that you would not find that grid that

07:10:28.000 --> 07:10:32.800
resilience in players that wouldn't have gone through so many different iterations of so many

07:10:32.800 --> 07:10:37.360
different rosters and had been let down before. These guys, they were not given this opportunity,

07:10:37.360 --> 07:10:42.640
they earned it. And I think especially with this stage, they've proven that it was worth it.

07:10:42.640 --> 07:10:48.560
and I think that mentally being struck down and climbing back up to tier one so many times,

07:10:48.560 --> 07:10:52.000
it builds character and that character shows up in the game.

07:10:52.000 --> 07:10:56.240
It absolutely does. It's just incredible and you've got to be super happy for a team like GK

07:10:56.240 --> 07:11:01.200
and in general, you know, reflecting on our nights in general as we saw the two best of threes,

07:11:01.200 --> 07:11:04.080
you know, the best of prizes, I guess, I'd say to say here, there are, of course, you know,

07:11:04.080 --> 07:11:08.080
with the way that the brackets are now as well, but it's exciting to see our league get closer and

07:11:08.080 --> 07:11:13.120
closer. Yeah I think so of course we've whirled down now we we took 10 teams down to six to go to play

07:11:13.120 --> 07:11:18.400
off such that we're here today. Twisted mines not here and we now take six teams down to four

07:11:18.400 --> 07:11:23.120
and those top four includes two teams that are not in the top four that went to Salt Lake City as

07:11:23.120 --> 07:11:28.400
well so they established I would say top four this region two of them didn't even make it. Yeah it's

07:11:28.400 --> 07:11:32.560
mad. It's mad to think that G2 after a flawless stage I'm still recovering from the fact that they're

07:11:32.560 --> 07:11:37.360
not going to play at TWC. It's mad to think that Twisted mines who have played so well at Salt Lake

07:11:37.360 --> 07:11:43.320
when not even in playoffs, just a small point on Rebels but props to them as well, you know,

07:11:43.320 --> 07:11:48.080
they came into kickoff, managed to make it into playoffs, they came into the stage, managed in a

07:11:48.080 --> 07:11:52.840
much longer sequence to be consistent enough to make it into the playoffs as well when longer,

07:11:52.840 --> 07:11:57.640
more established roster like shifters for example missed it. So to me it's again a great success

07:11:57.640 --> 07:12:01.720
for Rebels overall throughout the last six months. They will have time to learn, they will have time

07:12:01.720 --> 07:12:06.240
to up that ceiling a little bit, work on their attacks and maybe eventually reach their estear event.

07:12:06.240 --> 07:12:11.820
I think for Geeky though, the prize was in the eyes and they got it exactly as they wanted and I have good news as well

07:12:11.820 --> 07:12:13.460
Because we get to speak to them

07:12:13.460 --> 07:12:17.100
We do have Ruby on the line to ask him a few questions Ruby

07:12:17.460 --> 07:12:22.960
Congratulations on making it to EWC talk to us about how much it means to you. Yeah first thing hello

07:12:23.580 --> 07:12:25.400
Well, I don't know how to say it to you

07:12:25.400 --> 07:12:30.720
I mean, I think it's a relief from yesterday, you know, like we are all happy like we knew that we have to win this game

07:12:30.720 --> 07:12:32.320
but it's not like we

07:12:32.320 --> 07:12:38.920
We didn't think the game would be easy, because we know that the other side is also fighting for the same stuff as we do, so we knew the game would be hard.

07:12:38.920 --> 07:12:46.420
But yeah, I mean the cast and the comeback, the way we managed to bring the two rounds back to make it over time, it was kind of relief from ourselves.

07:12:46.420 --> 07:12:50.820
We were like, oh, not again, not again, then we made the comeback and maybe we're all happy.

07:12:50.820 --> 07:13:00.820
I'm happy from the team and overall I'm just happy from the mindset, like, way, and from the mental part that we showed that we don't really give up, we just play our game.

07:13:00.820 --> 07:13:06.820
And after we lost yesterday, for example, today, we were looking at a new team, for example, you know?

07:13:06.820 --> 07:13:10.820
Yeah, I think the mental aspect of your team was probably the biggest takeaway that we got from you guys,

07:13:10.820 --> 07:13:13.820
especially sending to the Cubs and seeing your reactions.

07:13:13.820 --> 07:13:19.820
And speaking of mental, did you feel any pressure for qualifying to EWC from your organization?

07:13:19.820 --> 07:13:24.820
From the organization, no, but the players, we knew that we wanted to go there, you know?

07:13:24.820 --> 07:13:26.820
So the players had the pressure on themselves.

07:13:26.820 --> 07:13:31.980
I mean I cannot speak for everyone you know, but for example for me it's not like I put pressure on my side

07:13:31.980 --> 07:13:35.380
But I wanted to be there you know, so there was always a bit of pressure in my head

07:13:35.460 --> 07:13:37.860
Not from the organization side. There was like no pressure

07:13:37.860 --> 07:13:42.460
You know just you guys are playing great. Just go fight for it and let's make it happen

07:13:42.460 --> 07:13:44.600
You know and focusing on your rugby

07:13:44.600 --> 07:13:50.640
I mean we talked about your resurgence already in one of these many interviews that now you've given us because that's many victories in

07:13:50.640 --> 07:13:59.640
I don't know, I'm kind of sad you didn't say to you tomorrow, maybe that's why you lost yesterday, that was the lucky charm man, every single interview.

07:13:59.640 --> 07:14:18.640
Yesterday was a bad day from us, we went to the game over confident and with low energy, I guess team like DP it's always going to punish you, when you feel over confident you just don't really change and you don't spot the things that you always spot and it happened, we'll play to them but we are there together in WC, so that's where it matters.

07:14:18.640 --> 07:14:23.600
And reflecting a little bit on your career, if I told you 12 months ago, the roller coaster you'd go through

07:14:23.600 --> 07:14:28.960
from basically being dropped from Fnatic, losing them to the GTI one spot,

07:14:28.960 --> 07:14:34.160
the whole journey through EML finals, we saw you in Malta, then we saw you at S5, that was crazy,

07:14:34.160 --> 07:14:39.040
then you joined GTI one again, and then you made it to WC. I mean man, what kind of a career is that?

07:14:39.040 --> 07:14:43.280
Well, I think the first thing, like I didn't really get dropped from Fnatic, like I wanted to leave,

07:14:43.280 --> 07:14:47.600
we had to make a roster changes because we knew that the roster is not playing well,

07:14:47.600 --> 07:14:52.940
So I decided that there's no point for me to be in there if the roster won't perform, but overall about the career.

07:14:52.940 --> 07:14:56.380
I know it's a rollercoaster, but everything happens for a reason, you know.

07:14:56.380 --> 07:15:02.640
I think I gained a lot of experience in tier 2, like how to team the game, how blessed I am by playing in tier 1 and everything.

07:15:02.640 --> 07:15:07.260
And it just made me more hungrier to actually win the stuff and be there at the top again, you know.

07:15:07.260 --> 07:15:12.680
And it paid off, you know, like screaming six maps a day with tier 2 teams against everybody.

07:15:12.680 --> 07:15:13.600
Like it pays off, you know.

07:15:13.600 --> 07:15:16.720
You learn a lot of new things and you develop as a player, you know.

07:15:16.720 --> 07:15:21.720
the game and you give me no. If

07:15:21.720 --> 07:15:22.720
we fast forward a few weeks to

07:15:22.720 --> 07:15:23.720
Paris Group. I know we've got

07:15:23.720 --> 07:15:24.720
the rest of playoffs to play

07:15:24.720 --> 07:15:25.720
through and we'll do that next

07:15:25.720 --> 07:15:26.720
week. If we fast forward a few

07:15:26.720 --> 07:15:27.720
weeks, you'll be going up

07:15:27.720 --> 07:15:29.720
potentially against you add in

07:15:29.720 --> 07:15:31.720
a phase, Clan, furious, liquid

07:15:31.720 --> 07:15:33.720
stock zeros of the world. Um

07:15:33.720 --> 07:15:34.720
another team you might also join

07:15:34.720 --> 07:15:36.720
or you will also join it. We

07:15:36.720 --> 07:15:37.720
see his VP. I don't know if you

07:15:37.720 --> 07:15:39.720
saw the interview with Neko

07:15:39.720 --> 07:15:40.720
yesterday. One of the things

07:15:40.720 --> 07:15:42.720
that you said about your team

07:15:42.720 --> 07:15:43.720
was that it's all just luck,

07:15:43.720 --> 07:15:45.720
luck, luck. And I wanted to just

07:15:45.720 --> 07:15:47.960
Is there any more to your team's game than just that?

07:15:48.880 --> 07:15:54.200
Well, to be fair, the guy who only plays shields and like plays of that cannot say something more black

07:15:54.200 --> 07:15:57.840
because I want to see him next stage and there won't be no shields because the, you know,

07:15:57.840 --> 07:16:01.760
but yeah, I mean, I don't think there's so many luck, you know, I think every team has a different place

07:16:01.760 --> 07:16:07.200
and for everyone, like the staff works differently, you know, and that's pretty much all, you know,

07:16:07.200 --> 07:16:10.080
like people can say whatever they want that we are lucky or, I mean,

07:16:10.080 --> 07:16:14.920
but if I'm going to make it WC every year like this, but people can tell me lucky, you know, like I don't really care, you know.

07:16:14.920 --> 07:16:17.620
I can't just do my job by playing the game, you know, so...

07:16:17.620 --> 07:16:24.020
It is deserved. I'm glad you're already putting out targets for the next stage, setting up storylines here as we speak.

07:16:24.020 --> 07:16:28.720
One more thing I'd like to ask you, just to get your opinion, Groobie. You already mentioned, you know, your former organization.

07:16:28.720 --> 07:16:35.720
The game before you guys, they got a pretty big upset against G2. How do you feel about that? Did you expect them to take down G2?

07:16:35.720 --> 07:16:42.820
Well, I did not expect that, but I'm really, really happy for the DPEC to be fair. I love that guy, and I'm really, really proud of that guy.

07:16:42.820 --> 07:16:47.700
that finally after so many years after people like you know going crazy on him on reddit and every

07:16:47.700 --> 07:16:51.540
time like he finally showed that he's capable of playing the game and going to the events again

07:16:51.540 --> 07:16:55.380
you know and I'm just happy for them you know and same for we said to be fair like I'm happy

07:16:55.380 --> 07:16:59.540
for all of them you know like he was a good game they played better and that's why they are there

07:16:59.540 --> 07:17:04.420
right that's awesome thank you so much for your kind words groovy ones get a big congratulations

07:17:04.420 --> 07:17:07.860
I'll make it to EWC and I guess we might see you next week.

07:17:08.500 --> 07:17:10.020
Yeah, see you next week, Klaus.

07:17:13.220 --> 07:17:14.660
Alright, we have to get the promise out there, right?

07:17:14.660 --> 07:17:17.380
Just to kind of like not manifest it in a bad way for him there.

07:17:17.380 --> 07:17:19.460
But so much to talk about with an interview.

07:17:19.460 --> 07:17:21.380
You know, talk about what is there for the play style,

07:17:21.380 --> 07:17:23.780
also about the other teams in the EML.

07:17:23.780 --> 07:17:26.180
But for him, the resurgence as a player,

07:17:26.180 --> 07:17:29.620
as well as so good to see him making it back to international ends.

07:17:29.620 --> 07:17:31.540
Yeah, it goes to show that if you never give up,

07:17:31.540 --> 07:17:33.540
if you always believe in yourself,

07:17:33.540 --> 07:17:38.900
There is a world for you if you work hard once again, we look at the statistics and and they're crazy right become back story

07:17:39.300 --> 07:17:43.860
Obviously, I used the wrong word. He was not dropped. He chose to to leave a static that speaks of maturity

07:17:44.340 --> 07:17:48.500
Overall the question was the same. He left tier one. He had to grind his way through tier two

07:17:48.980 --> 07:17:51.780
He did it with friends and those friends qualified to

07:17:52.580 --> 07:17:58.420
Sixth Intentional with Team Eritix and then the way that he went back into tier one rebuilt this roster a roster that was struggling

07:17:58.420 --> 07:18:05.420
that did not make playoffs in kickoff and eventually that investment paid off to make EWC, it's a beautiful gamble.

07:18:05.420 --> 07:18:09.420
And I think realistically all of the players on this roster have a similar kind of story, you know.

07:18:09.420 --> 07:18:16.420
We can talk quite, and we can brush it off as Imports, but you know, like you say, ask In-N-Out of Black Dragons coming over to Europe first time.

07:18:16.420 --> 07:18:23.420
Even if you take away the Imports, think of U-Pore. He was given X-R1 and he didn't work out.

07:18:23.420 --> 07:18:25.420
the game. It's been a long

07:18:25.420 --> 07:18:26.420
time. It's been a long time.

07:18:26.420 --> 07:18:28.420
It's been a long time. It's

07:18:28.420 --> 07:18:29.420
been a long time. Honestly, even

07:18:29.420 --> 07:18:31.420
for talks. It could have been

07:18:31.420 --> 07:18:32.420
quite easy to stay at fanatics

07:18:32.420 --> 07:18:33.420
Dana roster that had the

07:18:33.420 --> 07:18:34.420
guaranteed spot in the partner

07:18:34.420 --> 07:18:35.420
organization, all that stuff

07:18:35.420 --> 07:18:36.420
and kind of be the star man

07:18:36.420 --> 07:18:38.420
there. Chose to make the move

07:18:38.420 --> 07:18:39.420
to GK and you know, obviously,

07:18:39.420 --> 07:18:40.420
fanatic also made it as well. So

07:18:40.420 --> 07:18:41.420
you know, it's not at their

07:18:41.420 --> 07:18:42.420
detriment, but it was a bold

07:18:42.420 --> 07:18:43.420
decision for him to make that

07:18:43.420 --> 07:18:44.420
move when he did as well. So I

07:18:44.420 --> 07:18:45.420
think for all of the players

07:18:45.420 --> 07:18:46.420
they've made decisions to come

07:18:46.420 --> 07:18:48.420
as this collective to create a

07:18:48.420 --> 07:18:49.420
brand new team. And the fact

07:18:49.420 --> 07:18:50.420
they found success, you know, so

07:18:50.420 --> 07:18:52.420
quickly really in the team's

07:18:52.420 --> 07:18:57.140
right huh on the second day of playoffs in EML. So have a look at our updated

07:18:57.140 --> 07:19:00.940
bracket then to see how things are currently standing and exactly what

07:19:00.940 --> 07:19:05.220
happened tonight because if you're just joining us shock and horror G2 will not

07:19:05.220 --> 07:19:10.140
be making it to EWC Fnatic with a big upset over them very much deserved by

07:19:10.140 --> 07:19:12.860
the way as groovy little two as well you know they they played like the better

07:19:12.860 --> 07:19:15.940
team you know the players on that team really deserve it too and then

07:19:15.940 --> 07:19:21.460
afterwards GK2O against Rebels these are our last two teams are making it to

07:19:21.460 --> 07:19:23.460
EML don't play against each other next week.

07:19:23.460 --> 07:19:26.960
So Jack, Snedik or VK are going to beat up 3 FEML, how do you feel?

07:19:26.960 --> 07:19:32.660
Correct. I'm thrilled. I'm buzzing. Absolutely buzzing for both of them and I think for completely different reasons.

07:19:32.660 --> 07:19:37.360
I think, yes, Fnatic did upset G2, but I don't think that was a horrible G2 today.

07:19:37.360 --> 07:19:42.460
I think it was a G2 that did make some mistakes maybe strategically in the macro level.

07:19:42.460 --> 07:19:44.960
That's Snedik's just like ex-loaded.

07:19:44.960 --> 07:19:46.960
Yeah, played so, so, so, so well.

07:19:46.960 --> 07:19:50.460
I think that was a really, really high quality game of the season across both of them

07:19:50.460 --> 07:19:54.460
and had either of them progress, obviously, came down to one round, we'd have been saying the same thing.

07:19:54.460 --> 07:20:01.460
And then for GKF, and the better team won, and the team probably on paper that's got the better, more realistic chance at an international event at EWC,

07:20:01.460 --> 07:20:06.460
they managed to win it out. Of course, they will go up and they will play against Fnatic for the privilege next week,

07:20:06.460 --> 07:20:11.460
and then play in the fourth third place with the loser of Finns and BP.

07:20:11.460 --> 07:20:16.460
Yeah, that's the question, right? How far can they really progress in the lower bracket? But also for all these teams in here, right?

07:20:16.460 --> 07:20:21.560
I think their big objective is ticked off. Of course, it's always about qualifying to that international event

07:20:21.560 --> 07:20:25.700
What are we playing now from here on? It is SI points. Yes, that's the most important thing, right?

07:20:25.700 --> 07:20:31.040
By making it to top four, you have 200 points, but you can double that or even get it better to

07:20:31.540 --> 07:20:37.060
420 SI points in total. The reason is why is it so important for two of these teams? Because two of these teams did not make the

07:20:37.060 --> 07:20:39.580
Major Jack. Yes, and that's the big thing. You didn't make the major.

07:20:39.660 --> 07:20:44.460
You put in a little bit of stress and pressure on yourself because you're already behind. So those teams, yes

07:20:44.460 --> 07:20:49.260
they have made it to see, but it's a little bit more to play for especially that game for who finishes in fourth place

07:20:49.260 --> 07:20:52.380
I think because that's going to be a direct rival come stage to come

07:20:52.380 --> 07:20:56.900
You know potentially the major over in Japan as well. I think that's the thing for so for that thing in DK

07:20:56.900 --> 07:21:02.580
Yes, they can kind of shelf the fact that they've made even you see full focus has to focus on SI now

07:21:02.700 --> 07:21:07.700
Because if I'm being realistic in my heart of hearts neither of those teams probably will challenge for the win at EWC

07:21:07.700 --> 07:21:14.060
I don't think so it makes it important that they rack up enough SI points to put themselves in a good place ahead of stage two

07:21:14.060 --> 07:21:21.100
That's ultimately the goal for next week. We still have one more whole week to go with playoffs in EML as we

07:21:21.100 --> 07:21:25.500
show the continuation of the lower bracket and of course the upper bracket and our grand final will

07:21:25.500 --> 07:21:30.940
be played out on the Tuesday. That is it from us here for this week of EML. There's still so much

07:21:30.940 --> 07:21:35.100
more seats to watch if you're getting your drops if you just want to see the stage action from all

07:21:35.100 --> 07:21:39.500
these other regions. We want to thank you for watching for now. We'll hope to see you again next

07:21:39.500 --> 07:21:41.500
Next week, you'll have a great festival night!

07:26:09.500 --> 07:26:11.500
You

07:29:39.500 --> 07:29:41.500
I
