I can feel it, I just like the way it feels

When my fingers touch the screen, it gets physical
You've got everything I need, it's not disillusioned
I just like the way it.
We lost, cause we know we can't change
Feeling more we lost
But we still come back for more
Running out of time
But the kinds of mistakes
Is from our little client
No more, no more

Cause lastly I'm praying, praying God
She told me don't lie
If you thought I'd be far, you would have felt fine
You'll be waiting for me, you'll be waiting for us, girl
She's telling you what I'm gonna say
Tell you what I'm gonna say
so fast that in a minute I'm still fresh to death
I'm in a mid condition
Forge ain't no matter where I've been
to give me any place and it'll be a kitchen
This is how we feel to the top
I'm on a wave and it never gon' stop
I hit a dween and we run in a clock
24 seconds I step like a shot
I'm making this an eternal spot
Permanent state in the floating block
Don't step to me when I get too hot
I'm an angel of life and it's all you got on the top
and we ain't gonna fall
This is an obsession I have but you call
We hitting automatic never stop
Bottom I hate what I saw I couldn't walk so I learned how to crawl
Then when it's time when you're back to the wall So I say letter, my aim move is small
Homemade flow, I'm a PDC There ain't one player out doing this like me
Heart rate flows, shake the EKG I hate wasting time, no eventually
Free team work when nobody's here But I ain't feel the stress, I know I'm spent to beat
30 beats, I'm on a killing spree I made every song in my discography
Yeah, that's every cent Every dollar I ain't tryna listen to a broke scholar
Make a move to make the money trailing to the cash-top
I
It's Saturday, and you know what that means.
more rocket league we got it started yesterday on the Friday show with the
open number four here in the European region and boy did it deliver on
entertainment if you missed it you missed out we'll get you all cut up today
with a bit of a free show but welcome to the RLCS I'm leave with me today
we've got Shogan, T-Bates, Johnny, T-Bates we have sandwiched you between a
couple troll makers there good luck I'm not worried about him I know how to handle him
If any got some energy, but trust me, hell, no energy feels like I'm falling on the EU show for the first time ever
Some will say this is the better reason JV is that what you think
Some has some people have been known to say that yeah
I don't know if you're talking about anyone in particular with us here, but your show guns
You've been known to say that I think
Yeah
Don't stop I
Love it. Hey, well, I'm excited to get this day going it should theoretically be a shorter one than yesterday
We had a lot of game fives.
We'll cover those in a few moments here.
But first in case anyone's curious to where we're at right now,
I said it at the top of the show.
If you weren't listening, here's a graphic for you.
Open number four.
We're in the European region right now.
We've gotten through that first split.
We have the Boston Major out of the way.
We crowned some champions for that.
And now we're here in open four on our way to the Paris Major.
This is a doozy.
This is a big one, Johnny.
This is where a lot of the pros have their eyes set.
Oh yeah, it's World Championship at the end of the year, that's the big one obviously, but if you're looking for the next biggest event and it is going to be in some ways the biggest event in the history of the Paris Major, look no farther.
And with France, especially looking to regain from disappointing Lyon, there's a lot to play for.
Yeah, I think this is one that the people are just not going to want to miss including yourselves and make sure again if you haven't got your tickets that you're there.
Leon was debate something else and I expect we're going to see that same kind of energy in Paris, but we are you know
I mean one thing is for certain that Americans we like playing in France
So really excited to see what happens over there in power reading a couple months man. It's gonna be excited
Yeah, I'm so for that, but we got a lot of rock league to get through first
He saw we're an open from number four
We've got five and six this will get through to so let's talk about what we've seen so far in open number four
looking back to yesterday. We had a lot of rocket league played. We're hopping
around, watch party style, taking a look at all the games, the exciting moments
were going on. And there was a lot of excitement. Let's take a look at group A
first, uh, because well, both groups did not let down. Uh, in terms of these
matchups, Shogun, right off the, the initial bracket. I mean, is there
there one team or one storyline that stood out to you? Hmm. I wonder who
could possibly be. Could it be
that the major champions got
eliminated in before we got even
to the top eight? Wait, what?
Yeah. I mean, they did that to
themselves. Didn't they, Johnny?
They've been putting themselves
in trouble. They've ruined their
own seeding by losing their
first round match in Swiss
against Chippy Chips. And you
reap what you sow. They lost to
the Italians. Chucky lost to
Chippy Chips, but yeah, they
don't mean the both. Oh,
yes, sorry. They both get this
themselves. They're to blame
for their own demise. They
also lost 3-0 to Manchester City, the new Manchester City, who did look pretty good.
But you can't be getting swept there.
Went game five with game words.
I mean, gentlemen, the right was on the wall.
Honestly, the fact they got to game five against KC is also, you know,
it's more KC not playing up there.
You just signed it. They lost the synergy.
Everything's gone to, it's gone in the bin for Group A.
Yeah.
Predictions have gone completely in the bin one day in.
It was wild.
I mean, like just looking at the upper bracket, the games that we saw then,
Again, a couple storylines coming through.
I mean, you look at Synergy there,
the way they were playing yesterday.
Clearly was working for them in their match.
Just as we look at the highlights in K-Corp,
having to drop down to the lower bracket.
I mean, this was cool just in general when we look at Group B
eventually, too.
That we had teams coming through we didn't expect.
But Man City, that roster move, T-Bates,
was huge for them.
That trade for Seiko and Tempo seemed to work out for them.
And sure they worked out initially.
I mean, I thought Man City played real well yesterday.
I mean, I mean, they're sweeping the gentleman's and then you're going to
focus my town in candidly.
They had the chances in game or five to take my town.
Yeah, so that city was safe.
I'm looking real quick.
Yeah, I grew especially used on that for me.
Love the off the ball play toward gentleman's support.
But I'm looking at the scary.
Seiko's real criticism that he's had over the past year or two.
It's been, it's been consistency.
Oh, it makes sure they're ready to do as well synergy.
You have their best event season.
They just made their first main event, they haven't made a main event before this, and they've made top 6 in it, so pretty big turnaround for them.
I mean, I feel so incorrect at this moment in time because I feel like I'm in the majority that fought Tempo for Seiko was a fantastic steal for GK.
I thought they'd come out on top of that, and then the actual Rocket League got played.
And we'll see when we get to a group B how, maybe not necessarily the case, but this is also the case for Nova, which is also the story of their season so close.
so close. So far they are the maybe team of the region right now losing to T.R.B. despite
an incredibly bad run. I mean almost got a number of a sweep. Then they throw a free
goal lead in game five. I think the biggest thing here we see with teams like Novo 2,
we brought up the points before we're looking at them later likely as well. But the biggest
thing is that those teams are fighting for those bottom spots which is open. I mean
like you still have a lot of games of Rocket League in this season to get
through to try and get yourself towards that that world championships.
So yeah, these matches are incredibly important for them.
For Novo, that journey ends there losing to TRB and then Man City pulling
through as we look to the lower part of that bracket in those games.
This is where we saw maybe gentlemates could bounce back.
Maybe we'd see them, you know, find their way through.
But they had to go through a K corp as well.
The fact that we're even getting a matchup like this.
debates in a lower bracket before or even into the weekend was crazy I mean
it's crazy what it shows is that he used inconsistent you got a lot of great
teams but it's just the simply not performed up to far every single match
but when these tightness do go up against one another I do think they always
play well I mean cake over Jimmy just a slapper went back and forth left and
right but it's just the fact that I mean show me JBR and talk about
Gentlemen you can't be here. You gotta handle your you gotta handle your brother
You can talk to you what about like they bring the best of each other they brought the worst of each other in that series
They they both play really really poor and when it came to that one it was just juicy difference
And he was he carried them. He just dragged KC into this Saturday and you might do more of that
I actually, I very much agree. I think the play looked very black, very inconsistent for a lot of the top teams.
You know, Vitality were the only team they were able to just continue with their expected results. I'll give you slight struggles here and there.
But I think that only tells us after the story. There's a difference to you guys between the teams who are upset in the top teams here compared to NA.
I think someone in my life, I yesterday explained it pretty well. They said that when EU underdogs get one game, it's like they smell blood in the water.
when any underdog scare one game they panic they start worrying they think oh my goodness we can do that
oh my god he's siding his chat to help him to help his position no you need to be consistent
it's just when listen when you're going up against the greats of the team you gotta be able to handle business
no gentlemen it's listen you gotta handle business now give them a little bit of pause when i listen
they had a bit i'm not gonna say they had a bad head
they have to say credit to the underdog teams they actually do they they continue to play well
for our whole series they don't panic they keep on really putting the pressure on and uh yeah
Yeah, some of these underdog teams synergy first main event of the season. They look great. They I don't know where this has been
I'll see they got multiple and they got like a lot of experience in EU
That's why good you just got a lot of experience
So I'll give it that point where you get to out at 5 to 10 at 10 to 15 area Europe
I mean they got so many people Dorito AJG. I mean they've been at world championships before so
NATs don't have that at the 5 to 10 10 15 range
Well, if we're talking underdogs, we got to take look at group B because we had a lot of teams because of those early losses in Swiss
that we had a group B that felt
a little less stacked than our
other day and show good. You
could see it right there in the
upper bracket. That whole one
half of it felt like teams that
we don't generally see on the
weekend. I mean, look at that
lower part right there. W I P
cloudy sport in a circle team
BSK. They were all one of those
teams was guaranteed a top six.
It was in a circle that ended
up taking it. But what
ridiculous is just how well
those teams did BSK narrowly
you know what, guys? I'm okay
with it, though, because most
we don't get an astral. We get
Alpha 54 field with his first
main event wins since he beat
oxygen in 2024 World
Championships. It's been that
long. Everyone retire. Come
back in six months. You'll be
go it. That seems to be the
cycle. I is retired and then
just keep playing. Just keep
going here but yeah on the uh on the upper part of this bracket here we had uh you know ninjas of
pajamas they made their way through i mean i think that was expected you look at some of the other
storylines there uh we'll talk about gk a little bit here but uh ninjas of pajamas i mean they're
one of the only teams in my opinion that felt like they were they were doing what they were
supposed to do with ghani maybe except outside vitality well they they're actually quite good
to best of fives. NIP have never had too many issues in best of fives. It's one to get those best of
sevens somewhere recently. They've struggled. That's been true in the major. It was true
online as well last split after their first successful 8th great event once instead.
They struggled on Saturdays and Sundays. So we'll see if they can change that today.
We saw inner circle cloud again. We talked about underdogs today is where
teammates they're really going to have to be performing because this is where you're
you're really gonna start getting tested.
But all these games, we're into game fives.
And they all go on game five.
Y'all were talking about before the show started.
It'll be the European way, I guess,
for all these games, just the game four today.
And that'd be great.
That'd be great, not for anybody in particular.
Well, the teams we went out to say, it'd be great for them.
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Yeah, yeah, this is where we have to be critical.
I mean, GK, I don't know what it is.
I'll say something about this.
Yeah, you can.
I'll summarize.
I thought they did not take this seriously.
What do you think?
I actually, OK, let's go.
We've got to talk about context.
I mean, it's two great plays by that in particular.
We'll come back to it.
We've got some notes on the screen.
We'll get back to the GK in a second.
Yeah, we'll have the bracket in a second.
I'll let you go out there.
But yeah, overall, it was, as you said,
it was fun to see Astro on the field, too.
But it was also fun to see some players like Compact
Toxic having their opportunity to work towards a weekend.
But again, another game five shogun for all these teams.
Yeah, I mean, some of these teams
are going to be wondering, you know, what could have been?
BSK will be considering it.
Heck, even Nova will be considering over on Group A.
But I mean, GK will be very disappointed with the run
that they had.
And T-Bates, I leave the ball to you.
Yeah, T-Bates, go.
What's the point?
What do you think, Kim?
I just want to say, I really don't think GK played bad,
man.
I mean, they played by the light.
They played by the light at K-Dub corp.
It is.
And they had it.
They had the chances in game number five,
which is exceptional defense.
That was okay. That was acceptable.
That was fine.
And then listen, you're looking at this bottom.
I know they lose at four.
But look at the context.
This new fatty hit a dang screamer
all the way right underneath the crossbar.
Perfect shot.
You can't put that over there.
They have a point.
They have come out of this through with a single point.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, it's not push-wise.
But I mean, like, play-wise, it's not that terrible.
We don't like it.
They handed them this.
They got a dream bracket with nobody that they really
really need to worry about they would have if they could have picked two teams to take on in the
lower bracket they would have had the run available to them and they didn't do anything with it.
I think Jack summarized them pretty well. He said he tweeted after the loss said strange day no
much to say we weren't good enough we didn't create anything and that for me was the summary is
he didn't do anything because the other teams they played against yeah they played well but
you should they shouldn't really be given them the chances to play well you should they
They didn't control the match and they didn't do that.
They don't care about the game.
I don't mind that one, but I'm talking about, yeah,
their second series, Caligara series.
I thought GK were very flat. They didn't really do much.
Didn't control the series like they should.
Gave the underdog too many chances, and they took them.
Yeah, well, at the end of the day, they're not here now.
They're going to have to work out what's going on.
Temple looked good by the end of it, but it wasn't enough.
A few little too late, and this is our bracket for the day today.
We'll take a glance at this again later in the pre-show here,
here, but these will be the matchups will be playing and these are the teams are going to be playing them.
Let's keep those highlights moving for a little bit here because yesterday actually had a lot of
wonderful plays. We can honestly come probably extend our top five plays to top 10 or something
like that, but here are our progressive top plays. Shogi jump is into them.
And we're going to start off an incredible outplay here from Montserrano. Go back board,
doesn't need to reset the back board. He's going to go by himself, powers his way back down.
Now, try to think of a different way you can do it.
Zen tries, Zen watches, you know, all spectators.
The power of mozzarella.
Try here, thank you to the major champions.
They're back.
They might not be on playing today,
but of course they got a highlight today.
Asky, well, there's a beautiful shot.
I mean, it's just simply incredible how good
it sounds that this young man is.
Really showing his stuff with Channel Maze.
It's unfortunate that I play today,
but I'll be back next time.
And that third, we got little motion from Sarkul.
You're gonna see them later on today.
This was an equalizer in Game 5 in a qualified match, upper run to a qualified match.
Everything in the line here, late equalizer, and the game went on to win. Absolutely phenomenal stuff.
Well, that's what I'm saying. We want to talk about baddie.
He got, he got a couple top 5 plays in my estimation.
Beautiful pass right here.
At 0 seconds is one of the best plays of the game.
Unfortunately for them, they put in an energy after that.
They lost an overtime really, you know.
Jeffy's no-go. But it was a great play nonetheless.
And to finish it all off, we've got ourselves a psycho growling all the way into the midfield.
Reece Fox puts it in, get extra points on the table, not even touching the ground, almost a straight line from one side of the field to the other, and that is the number one play.
I want to add the speed on that one here, because that was moving. That thing was screaming across there, but hey, some good pop top plays again. As I said, there were a lot of other plays that could have made it to, I do recommend going to check on some highlights at least from yesterday, but we've got to move on here and try to rack our brains a little bit, because I want to move on to some power ranking.
You know, we got a little mix of NA and you right now.
Why don't we, why don't we put ourselves together,
work together maybe to try and figure out a top, a power rank.
If we were to merge North America and Europe together.
Does this not go really well?
I think we're going to do it.
It's going to go super well.
In order is this just who gets in?
Yeah, well, so we'll, we'll nominate a position here.
Yeah, so Johnny, Johnny had a good idea.
I'm going to start off with number one here.
I'm going to, I'm going to throw out number one and then I'm going to nominate it.
You guys are going to do a thumbs up with thumbs down.
Whether we whether we put we put this in and if you guys don't agree with me shogi can then nominate the the next one
And we'll go down the line till we get someone for each spot start up number one seed number one seed
I'm gonna just put out there then
NRG listen, I'm throwing energy in number one. Oh my god. I know ain't got one thumbs up guaranteed here. Okay
Shogan asked to give us our next nomination that what are you putting in that number one given base recent form team vitality
Okay, I think actually honestly from this weekend over any of the options besides like energy
All right vitality number one, okay, we got our number one seed already team vitality. Let's go with number two
We just start with Shogie
Number two
Johnny
All right, we got number three seed. Who's our nomination? I I want to say number three Carmen car
For number four then and this is this is a tough one
I just keep looking at the European side. Yeah, I'm gonna go on between two right now
I'm gonna have to go with ninjas of the gyms
Space station
It's a good show. I'm not gonna lie. It's a good. It's not a bad show. It's not a bad me. It's not bad
I gotta go with it thumbs down to still to what?
If that's the case, then you've got you've got to say jiddle makes then surely that was my that was my
Mr.
Sgf5
You do sg5 yeah, it's just a five okay leave this
I guess yeah, I just I again the G mates at the second was
Well, I'm on a bad run right now, so one in
Can I throw up ninjas and pajamas again, you can't wear okay
Six thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I'm on fire right now
All right, I'm not doing this despite you
I miss stealing your homework
We'll go in up here like it
All right, well, I'm just good Genji
I want to see buddy in the street
It's not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad for Manson, you know, this guy was K-Dom Corp in there.
They got miss a major and top eight. This is thumbs up for me. That's a major and top eight. No
I don't mind. VP then? Is that what?
No, I don't mind. It's fine. Eight eight eight open. I got
No, Charlie. This is your thumbs up for them for Man City. Which for Man City?
Yeah, let's just get it over with.
I don't know what's our final what's our final mix results. I was gonna say VP, but GK.
Honestly, I would vote VP. Yeah, I back them forever, so
I don't care, I will back VP all day. Yeah, VP falling but I'm not completely off of him yet. I'm giving them a little bit more chances
That's not bad, you know
Johnny really controlled the top eight. Yeah, I'm never
It's a democracy. How can I control it?
We got to move on we got run out of time here. We got one more one more game to get here
I want to get some more opinions
I'm gonna have just you guys be involved in this one because my opinions suck so let's
Let's do a 50-50 a little head-to-head here
We're gonna give a topic and each of the analysts around 30 seconds to make their statement
And then the other two of us can pick who was right on that I guess
But first statement we're gonna have Shogun and Johnny go ahead to head on this one
to be able to do that. I
think you're probably close to
30 seconds there. Let's let's
see what Johnny has in in
retaliation. All right. I'm
saying K dog car because
listen to this run Manchester
City. We all know we're not a
top eight team in the U. N. A
definitely not then inner
circle. Is there no not
sorry. It's not in your
circle. Synergy is the next
round. We're going to see
No, not sorry. It's not like it's like synergy.
So next product to batch would totally winable.
And then you're up against Vitality.
It's the old Vitality, it's the new Vitality.
All the pressures of the new Vitality.
So old Vitality win a KDL Corp, a KA Vitality.
So I think KDL Corp have a good chance
to make the grand final.
I mean, you'll see him tomorrow night.
Who, who, who?
Okay, Bates.
Bates, yeah, let's see.
Who, who, who are we picking on,
with the better argument here?
Johnny, they said Vitality.
But just because of that,
I would I want to go with Johnny just because I want to see that. I would love to see that. I would love to see that
Let's go. I'm with that. All right. Number two
Let's let's do a Johnny and Bates one here. You two are up here. Yeah. Yeah, we're we got to move on here
No, we got we got one more to go here Johnny and Bates given the surprising results of open number four
Which region has more depth you or NA?
Johnny I'm gonna let you have the floor first since you won that one that last one there
Hit it! 30 seconds!
So wait, hold on a second.
You said there was going to be a question, but I'm not going to ask you a question.
You're going to get a tie.
Which region has more depth and tricky UNNA?
Where's the question? I don't see the question.
I must be missing something here.
You've got 50 more seconds to fill up this bit.
I just don't see the question.
UNNA, which region has more depth?
I still think... is there a question?
I'm not seeing a question.
Okay, Bates, he didn't find a question this,
which means he thinks the answer must be obvious.
What's your retaliation to this or your answer
or some sort of thought that we didn't see to get out of him?
30 seconds go.
Let's let me tell you something, Leith.
Yeah.
In a EU death.
Leith don't need to answer that question.
Straight face.
Leith, let's go.
It's a bad spot, man.
It's a bad spot.
In a EU death.
I'll tell you this, NA depth man is so good and you really just focus on the top one team
or better still.
Good to date.
They had the power raking roll after that and you define depth is more than one team
we're losing.
Bottle answer.
Okay, Shogi.
I don't know what happened.
I don't think we, I think we have a defined answer or a non defined one.
I don't think anybody won.
I don't feel like I won because I got laughs.
you. Okay so we don't know maybe it's as a depth is inconsistency. Have we have we converted
Bates over to to you. He's here right now. Maybe. Bates is in a new era ever since energy
one brand new era for tea baits. All right. I am Mr. Worldwide. Okay. Well let's move
We've got to get kickoff started in a few moments here.
Crowd cam, we've got to get you on that too.
RLE Sports, twitch.tv slash RLE Sports,
you want a different perspective of the playing field.
Get on over there, have that up on the side monitor
and you can see how some of the plays are developing.
Some of those players that make it off-screen are getting some boost.
You want to know what's going on, you can see the rotations.
It's a good way to see it.
Here's the prize pool and the points.
I've got to tell you right now, I know a lot of these teams are looking at the point column
as the most important column right now
because as we get partway through the season,
This is going to get tighter and tighter.
Coming towards that World Championships at the end here.
But one more glance at the bracket where we're at.
This is a lot different than yesterday.
Let's do our die.
You got to win.
Crew's on through here.
We've got eight teams.
We'll see how that plays out in a little bit.
If you want to see what order it plays out in,
we got a little schedule here.
Take screenshots.
You know which time your favorite team is playing.
We're starting off with Inner Circle versus Team Vitality.
Let's start talking about them.
T-Bits.
Inner Circle Vitality.
we had Vitality, we just talked about them as if we're combining the regions
together, they still get the number one seed. They were the best coming out of
yesterday looking at least. Yeah, I think they were. I mean, I will say a man
said he had a pretty good series against them. But I mean, Vitality at the
moment, they're playing really consistent, rocky league, something that
kind of be questioning is that he started off 2023, of course, major
champion, world champion after that has necessarily been able to capture
that same success coming up at an attitude to the roster. They're
They're looking pretty good and in an inner circle on the other side kind of in that question mark up questionable side
I'm gonna say if you want to call it off the two groups yesterday that Lord that bottom quadrant in group number B
They have a lot to prove today. It would be huge upset. They end up getting this w and I'm excited to see it
Overall again, I think we're looking at underdogs here shogan
You know yeah the the Brits coming up against the French here by tally again
and they've shown how good they are.
Stizzy is starting to fit into that mix super well here.
And actually we got to talk, Shuggie.
We saw how early and prepared this team fight
Tally was today.
Oh yeah, they are more than ready to go.
And I think they need to as well.
I mean, we were talking at the major,
this is the greatest chance that they've had to win something
ever since they won a world championship.
Now we get to this open tournament.
We've got Casey in the lower bracket,
all of their near rivals are eliminated
in a whole heap of trouble when it comes to this bracket. Vitality, this is the opportunity.
This event to finally get that wall broken down and go and actually win one of these
opens because we got them power right first. What they won recently, they are there by
default because everyone else is just sort of not playing up to their own standards.
Vitaly now got to go and take it.
Hashtag, IS or hashtag, the IT in the chat for the progressive fan, but let us
things gonna take it. I have a feeling I know which way this one's gonna go for both chat and the desk.
Overall, sometimes though, Johnny, having that kind of underdog approach to it can help. I mean, we just
saw what can happen yesterday in the European region, either it be death or inconsistency.
Maybe there's a possibility here. What are your thoughts on this?
I mean, in a circle, they've been putting up some good results. They beat Montseille and
in the Swiss in qualifying and yesterday they came out of what we thought would be the weakest
quadrant but they did it. You know with some great goals and good plays in the clutch situations
so they are a solid team. That makes it vitality. I think the one consistent team recently.
So this is probably going to be too big of a challenge for them, especially in a best
of seven. But I'm excited to enter circle. As far as these guys have made it in any
event as far as I can remember. Golfs made a top eight once before, but this is top six already, so
yeah, new hype for them, a chance to see how they perform under the extra pressure.
It definitely does feel, though, T-Bates, as if it's a bit of a class difference, and when it comes
to the level of Rocket League we sometimes, or the consistency of Rocket League we see between
these two teams, one feels definitely like a well put together wall, and it feels like
like a inner circle is gonna have to break that down.
I mean, yeah, it's exemplified via the cameras.
You have one team playing in a facility with a coach,
with a point with a manager,
and everything else in between,
and all the ones playing at home, with an organization.
So they're trying to make themselves work.
So I mean, you're going up against Zen,
still top five in the games.
Couldn't even say best in the game.
I don't know how many people would agree with that,
but the argument is there,
and I wouldn't be mad at it at all.
So Vitality, I'm with Johnny.
They are the most consistent team at you
at the moment it seems appears to be up with K Corp in that conversation as well.
So, just trying to get this job done today,
hopefully not going all the way to game five or game seven, I guess, in this face.
Might be eight against Man City.
Okay, well, something put on the board here.
Let's get our predictions out here.
I have a feeling I know what it's going to look like in a moment.
Do I want to start the train out with some vitality?
You guys going to flip the same?
Yeah, you're watching.
You need a win, Leif.
I'll give you a win.
You can flip me too.
Thank you. Hi. Let's get the
fatality on the board.
Yeah.
Fatality is crossing.
I'm up for all of you.
Yeah.
Fatality, fatality, fatality.
I think at this point, I mean,
we all agreed for sure.
Fatality's got to be,
got to be that number one, two.
If we merge the regions even,
they're looking so good right
now.
Snizzy's fit into the mix so
well.
And I'm expected to see that
consistency here.
But I like to see a close
game, sure.
But fatality, Shogan,
definitely has to be at most
people's favorites coming
into this.
Yeah.
I mean, they absolutely have
to be.
I think for any way,
So actually when this they need to lock down that defense,
that is a heck of a percentage.
Right now, I mean, they went one game yesterday
with a clean sheet.
They cannot do that against Team Vitality.
So they're gonna have to find a way.
Well, hopefully my streak of being wrong
doesn't continue on here for Team Vitality
as they hit the pitch against Air Circle.
It's time to get our first best of seven underway
on Saturday as the playoffs began.
Inner Circle facing down at Team Vitality.
Let's have some fun.
You can only beat the teams in front of you, and credit to Inner Circle, Johnny Boy.
So far, they've been doing that, but now, as Game 1 is brought to you by Progressive,
they're up against Team Vitality, so it's a little bit different.
Yeah, they've done everything you could ask from them so far.
The beatmen to aim the Swiss Guard, that preferential seeding coming into group stage,
and then they did what a lot of the top teams have not done.
today on the team that Inner Circle will be up against today.
But to Vitality, they're looking good.
They're still looking at themselves really
building some momentum for the season now.
Yeah, Zen's been spectacular.
He's obviously never really fallen off since he entered
the best in the world conversation in his debut split.
And Stissie's been going from strength to strength
to this roster.
I think they're, you know, exotic here.
Really welcome to talk to how well he's playing for me.
If it's not explained well, I think Vitality will be,
you know, one of the teams to be.
in the world, in a VARLCS, and definitely in EU.
Let's see what can inner circle spell wrong do.
Inner circle with S,
as they turn a bit of pressure on, but it's pretty short-lived.
I would adapt to my friend,
and it's nice to see my team vitality at the moment,
they're realizing that inner circle longer than I have,
a little bit of a threat, so the option,
the obvious fix, click it towards M,
and let him do the rest.
Good play from Sissi as well,
and I see him, I seem to form,
because he's applying some dips,
but seems to be finding his groove now,
I love to see Zen in the octane as well. Long time octane, unc player myself. I don't think
Zen is an unc hostly player. I like to see mechanical players in the octane. It feels to
me like it's usually the hyper-mechanical players who go towards the fennec. But Zen, in the
octane today, and you know, not the first time he played this of course, he'd be curious
to see how he goes in it. Oh, hold on a second, he's octane really good. But
Ah, bit of a blunder there, got his bluff called, and the watch off to us just wide for a circle.
Yes, because he was covering well, so the exotic was in a slightly longer position,
and see Vitality should be able to ease themselves forward yet again,
spending an awful lot of time inside this inner-circle half.
But I would say in a circle of an S, I like that, you know, into that SGO.
If you Google that, there's only one team that's gonna show up, and now they're showing up!
Oh, it's the same with the mistake off the backboard.
He had it off first here, but worried about getting dunked on.
You went low and he couldn't get back to the ball, he just gives it away and it's in for inner circle.
Honestly, that guy was giving me PTSD from when you and I played against Shungun a lot.
2v2, I don't know who it is, but I try into the DMs and I don't know who it is.
And you just wait, oh, actually the back end of the post was of course followed up from Force.
We needed Force's way in, and suddenly this game's come alive.
This is like you saying this is the chance for inner circle for all the players to go further than they've ever gone before in an EURLCS event.
Golfs has made it top 8 before.
Oh no!
Got on here. Just about keeps it out for my dally.
Yeah, Golfs made it top 8 with Flavor Rizzix and Resports and RRG.
As for the other two, this is their first foray into a top 8 playoff.
Yeah, and sometimes, good players are in a brave new world. They do step up. They do feel that, you know, you're up against better players, you play faster, might take you a game, or even in the case of an essential half a game, to get used to that pace, but it does seem that, in the last 30 seconds or so, they have been able to figure out a way to at least play around to you by talent.
almost got that second just onto the post-court,
so we'll pull it again, can he force this one in?
It's a decent 50-50 by Zed, gets it safely over the top of his own goal,
but more pressure coming in, look at that blocking from Walsh,
he's got the read at the moment on team vitality.
And Goss is trusting there, running on ahead of the play to look for a goalkeeper,
look for a pump on the goalkeeper,
didn't have much to anything this time,
but they are keeping vitality back,
vitality needs to be really careful with those angels off their backboard,
Zed got one wrong earlier, and they did concede off the back of it.
Stable. That's how to describe the game right now. It's not vitality favorite like we expected it to be.
It's having a much better touch on the zone back this time as you would expect back to normality in that sense.
But team vitality.
Force into the middle, up against exotic.
exotic wins zippered as well, red again by force.
As I mentioned earlier, starting to see vitality are trying a great boost still there.
Motion over the top nearly of them.
At least haven't taken an awful lot of saves instead.
I think that might have been the wrong option there for motion though.
They were in a brief 2v1, air dribble pump maybe,
or just a run and hide demo would have made sense.
Take Zen had a picture, leaving that open for your teammate,
or maybe just going high to the backwards,
solid other than what they did,
but they are still not getting in the door.
In a circle, put in vitality on the backflip.
Yeah, again, team vitality.
Having to deep, deep meditate this first game,
and then if little circle can make it through.
And sorry, in a circle,
there's going to be something possible for the pen.
Now this series suddenly is blown wide open if they can get this opening game.
Stizzy gets it towards Bors, Team Vitality is doing well for now.
Keep the ball in blue territory but Bors is able to get forward then tries to take control of things.
Bors tracking him all the way.
So if I'm not rushing anything at all that's what we like to see.
It's important there and Bors is going to have a clean touch on this one.
There it goes again, it's running ahead looking for the bump on Stizzy.
He didn't land it but I like that they're going for these physical places from the ball.
It's going to annoy Vitality and it's going to increase the urgency of Vitality's defensive rotations.
I think Xautic tried to inside the paper there, but we're stuck in the back wall bump.
Twenty seconds to go, Vitality's still up by one.
They've won another just to feel comfortable here, but they've won it for them.
And I've already seen some big 0-second equalizers in late plays over EU.
Yes, they're on Friday. It's going to be another big one.
Xautia's going to be up against Spizzy.
Spizzy bounces back and gets another touch on the wall.
to the standing force might be able to get this touch isn't quite able to do so
an exotic gets demo for a shot actually gets the demo for a struggle so the ball stays high
this force can be able to get here not quite but Johnny there's something there
through in a circle. Yeah not a bad game after they got settled into it Vitality
got the kickoff goal, well Zeng Zeng got the kickoff goal by himself actually
for Vitality and they doubled up the lead but since then it was pretty
even game if not favouring inner circle for the second half. So I like that physical play aspect
that they bring in. That one chance stands out to me as well. Motion had a great opportunity
by Taliyah extended and Motion did not punish them. They actually had a 2v1. You have to
take those chances against my Taliyah. Well, Ali Taliyah was slapping it from every angle and
all was feeling good for Team Vitality. The game went on. The second goal here within a
a minute you're thinking this could be four or five this could be one of those series
yeah it's like a breeze for the sort of superior team but didn't develop and the
stuff really showed us why they didn't make it through yesterday because you know
it's all by the good saying they were in the quote unquote easiest quadrant
but if you're in the easiest quadrant of an EU top 16 it's not an easy quadrant
yeah it was it was a you know a quadrant where they still have to go and get the
get the wins I mean these it's not like they just qualify through to the main event
and they look at her against the thing.
Nice.
We thought we'd have to turn the monitors on today.
Free wins for us boys.
Now they're in a quadrant against team BSK.
Very experienced players.
Aistro, Grylley, Resvup, they beat them.
That's a quality win to start off the day.
Then they'll take you to that club, Esport,
who we're going to see later on today.
You get really good stuff from this young team.
But we need to see a little bit more.
They need to make the right decisions
in those moments where they've got vitality in one of the two positions.
Let's see if any of these players make themselves a hero.
There is motion against the big right side.
Oh, what?
I'm right to the needle.
That's the motion.
That was the sensuals game on from Mr. Marangel.
The fake on exotic and then the low shot underneath the zent.
No one says he would have had that.
Not ready for the motion placement to come through.
absolutely slide back. Yeah, there's a lovely little goal there.
Goal's coming forward again, trying to keep momentum going.
It's over the top, he's got the troubles.
Goal's coming in! It's two, Johnny!
Hold on a second here.
We have got a game, and if we've got a game,
we might have a series.
Vitality down two and 18 seconds.
And a little bit of kickoff goal revenge.
That's coming, getting back from game one.
OK, let's see how Vitality responds.
And what we saw in a circle betide by two last game,
they actually looked like the barriers even for the rest of the game.
Will Vitality be able to do that?
Definitely going to have to because this is a huge stop for a circle.
Gorse tries to keep it going as well. Credit to Circle.
They should not stay back on what they have.
That's the temptation at this point where you think,
okay, with two goals for the good,
let's try and defend for four minutes and 20 seconds.
Not going to happen again, seen by Vitality.
So they're playing this on right. Gorse comes in again,
wants to try and temp Zen out.
almost able to do so and honestly we've barely seen this ball in the blue half.
Yeah there's keeping Vitality back for now and they're keeping their boosts so it was nice and high.
Spreading out just enough to make the avoidance of double commits nice and easy.
Oh yeah they're definitely zipped Zip Zip settled into the match now. If they were nervous to start
game one that's no longer the case these guys are playing well. Vitality are the team who
seems to struggle to establish the rotation.
All gobs coming in at the net post,
Dizzy gets it to relative safety.
And as a follow through again,
Bors keeps the attack going,
vitality unable to break out.
Then barely any boost.
Dizzy just has to wait and clear it,
but also said there's no one there.
Then goes to the race,
but Bors wins it so easily,
gets the finish as well from the ceiling,
makes it out in an attempt towards Bors,
and now motion can come in,
almost gets this one over the top of Dizzy.
Every time the ball is loose in the air, Jommie, it's born to a blue player.
Hello, that might be the difference this time.
It's then the breakthrough, and exotic does get the finish, and my vitality needed that.
They really did.
It was just that one moment where they played a little bit too risky there.
Vors pushing up from third-man position.
They've all been doing that.
Vors did the same in the last play, and it worked, but Vors, pushing up,
is third there.
Only works if he makes it to 50.
Oh, good one, Moshe.
Look at Stizzy, who is coming in for the shot after the kickoff.
They're playing a very high defensive line in a circle.
And overall, it's resulted in tons of pressure.
They've put on vitality, but they also got them scored on there.
Of course, underneath Stizzy.
Stizzy gets something on it just about.
It's in for a second, but you put the card in the same.
They'll go completely underneath, and what a challenge.
Of course, comes in.
Stizzy now trying to keep the ascendancy going for two vitalities.
Xen is weak to the other options. Can he have gone to the backboard of the side?
Xen does go on the shot. Do you know what? It ends up being correct.
Xen follows through.
Great placement for Xen.
Sizi snicks it back in quickly. Xen just up fast enough to beat motion to the punch.
And he goes straight into the top corner to tie the game.
Important moment here for Inner Circle to be a bit tilted to lose a hard-earned lead like that,
especially after only having it for a minute and a few seconds.
They have to win all of them, they need to get a good game here I think.
They've got a competitive series and we're just hanging on for now.
Oh!
Everything's slightly off the angles in there, there's something worse.
But of all that, it's to your side when you're driving a rock-n-lead car
because you can't really move sideways, you can dodge, but that keeps you flat
and it all gets a bit awkward. Sissy over the top of the wall
so they're chasing shadows in the moment, but motion does break through
and gets a hundred boost. That was the touch the circle needed.
He's then starting to fight gaps in the defense series, getting the ball past one or two players
every single time he gets a piece of it.
That's always the benefit of having to play like Zen on the pitch.
Doesn't help but to take it past multiple.
Recovery for the Bups, still getting the dunk for the second man there.
Once again, the 1v2 exchanges from Zen, giving vitality so much space.
Yeah, credit to Vitality, fiddled down, and they batted for the first couple of minutes
really in this game.
We can turn this one around, have those quiet team chats use the place that they're all
together next to each other to their best advantage, talk things through, and now
here we are, they're looking favourites to take game two and a tour lead in this
series.
Since he keeps the attack going, it's been an onslaught now for Team Vitality
for the last minute or so.
Another buff comes in, Gauss, half gets the top, then his neck gets a bit of
and the whole team's jumping.
They're just panicking there.
The whole squad's up in the air to try and make the same.
And good placement by Xotac.
He still had to do something there.
It wasn't completely open.
Yeah, the panicking defence was pretty clear there,
Co.
It was an inner circle, capitulate.
Yeah, the fours in the screen shot later on
of all three inner circle players
going for the same goal, that's always...
It was a good one.
players going for the same ball. That's always a fun one.
Free-thrug doesn't quite do the defending justice, but here comes
Walsh. Big time this one right back around, Dizzy.
It's a clean touch on it, so Walsh exotic.
Vitality can get one more here. That may well be game over.
That's a very big hit. But unless the one with Zed has the ball,
he goes long. Motion decent catch, Dizzy.
So get a touch on this one, and maybe you'll be able to.
If he can use his boost ball, then that doesn't have two in the end.
And team Vitality now, they'll feel they've done most of the work.
they can slow this one down and just show some game management.
Yeah, dude. They're comfortable in a moment.
Moment of fact, they're back on their side.
This isn't like the last game where they go to the lead, lost a goal,
and I suddenly there, hold it on.
Oh, hold on.
Oh!
Guess go side of it.
The wall passed by motion to stop it of all the goal line.
They love the idea there from motion.
But be too little, too late though.
Exotic is slowing this one right down a couple of 50-50s it goes to one Stizzy he pops it long
Gorsley's do something special he can't even find the class none of his team have got any boost team vitality seen to be able
To live to fight on a day in this series they go to they love they didn't make it easy
The force was the reminder that they are the experienced team here
Yeah, that was it. That was an impressive comeback there from vitality. They didn't uh panic when they went back
It has stayed, you know, a state of their game plan, kept doing what we know they can do,
just mainly being patient and waiting for Zen to get those spaces to open up for them.
Just like Zen do, work for the ball, get the guys keeping it more simple.
You may have obviously anxiety that says you're a mechanical hero on your own, right?
But it really did for me, in the middle of the game, feeling like every time Zen got the ball,
you get it past one and then 50-50 the second guy.
That's always a great thing to do in 3v3.
You take two opponents out of the game at the cost of only yourself,
But it's in the situation. Yeah, when it came down to it, you know, circle, you both composer on the goal, like a
triple committed on one save attempt and
couldn't get back to save the next one.
All three vitality players involved as well. It was Zen who had, you know, the mechanics as you expect to
break in a circle down. But once they started swarming, it was
Stizzy and in particular exotic as well, who's finishing was fantastic and positioning was great.
that was the difference there
between those two teams making the most of that pressure in a circle just as game one couldn't quite make the most of it but they did have those opportunities a reminder in a best of seven.
There are tactical timeouts something that the inner circle players might not be as used to taking and that maybe goes to show because normally Johnny two games down and take one.
Yeah, I think it's pretty it should be pretty automatic there.
I think they probably should have called the timeout especially looking at how the game went.
They had a 2-go lead, they lost 3-goes in a row, I think you just have to call a time-out there, just take an extra minute to talk about it.
Even if you feel like you're ready for the next game, still, I think it's just smarter to go for the time-out, but they've decided not to.
We'll see if they can lock in without the time-out.
It's getting that demo on the part 3 again, did that in game 1, to success.
you know probably the attacking game plan I've not hated it from the inner
circle I've liked what I've seen at times that high line of defense can't be
risky but if they can make it they communicate well they can make it work
it is far to play this. Oh lovely 50-50 towards golf these guys are looking at Zed
fulls the motion. A motion who to me is being their stand-up player gets another goal.
You're 250-50s going back on teammate that's really well played by golf
just killing the ball dead in the box so a little motion can come in again open that essentially an open net
One no inner circle and you do walk in despite the lack of a tie-back
I was going to say who needs him? Who needs him Johnny? That's what we're seeing here in the first 40 seconds
Okay, number three. We'll see if that changes. Walls in the catch
He's got the touch pass and does then once again is the furthest man back the team by chance to get the second touch
Walls in the next split to get further in the second pass
He was tripping over and was like, it passed me.
Yeah, he's like, chase Goss wide and yeah, Goss, he couldn't get Goss out after jumping over the exiled smog attempts.
You have to play that way, so you just get him shepherding Goss away from the goal.
He didn't commit bully for the buck, he just put himself in the way and Goss couldn't get through.
He's in cash check for Stizzy, but the ball abades in somewhat force and Goss combined on the backboard.
Their name's almost rhyming, a bit awkward, but it's far.
Motion, who's this that one to Stizzy, Voss?
He tries to get it as far as...
Oh, what's he saying to that?
Did he put it in the goalie?
I thought he put it past the goal.
Oh, wow.
I don't know.
I've got a feeling that was going in.
Yes, he would have assumed that the goalie's got a save, so he tried to touch it past what he's not.
going to be a safe by the goalkeeper, but the goalie was actually towards the side there.
Stizzy kicked the ball to double the mid by Zed nearly leading their goal.
Yeah, might have just been it. I think Stizzy might have just saved that.
Well, there's a tilt on every vitality, I'm sure there will be a lot to get over that one pretty quickly and keep on going.
These things do happen as we saw from Juicy yesterday.
Bors has a shooting chance this time and it's Bors that take it.
And then the circle had the lead again.
Yeah, they're working for these goals, looking for the 50's back, looking for the mid passes.
If they've got a good offensive package here this young team, the defense is clearly
the area that they're lacking in, but the mechanics looking pretty good, team plays,
physical plays, definitely on the offensive side of the ball, very impressive stuff.
As he almost is there, the ball falls towards them again.
Of course again, sorry.
But if this is the 50-50 game that's winning this one so far,
throwing a circle, every time there's a challenge,
it's just falling to them,
obviously not completely every time.
That one slams towards their own goal,
but ball sweeps up well, recovery not quite ideal,
but it actually turns into quite a decent make
so we can prop that one over the top,
the exotic, but not quite there.
And this is where we need to see that game management
that T-Bitality showed in the last game
from in a circle.
It's the easiest at the goal,
up against the political might of Stizzy and Coe. But still they're holding out. Only half
this game gone, it's flying by. Oh, it's good to put your defense air force into golf slap there.
The Zen stay dangerous. He does like deadly every time he's on the ball, as always.
But for now that defense is holding on, is holding strong or in a circle. But how
How are Vitality gonna get through this? Will they try to go through the circle?
Will they try to, you know, go for the straight, the fastest possible route with an air dribble bump or something?
Or will they try to circumnavigate the circle? Maybe for the passing play.
Yeah, I mean, they might use the circumference to try and use the wings a little bit more.
So, we shall see.
At the supply?
What a reminder. I think, you know, Vitality, right now they're just trying to calculate the radius.
They don't know really how wide it's passively need to be for this particular circle
Johnny if I was smart, I'd make so many more mass circle punts for Amal, so I'll just throw them out for Barakali
I'm sure you've got dozens of them, good for you
360 degrees of them. Anyway, it's dizzy to the side as then in the center wants to get a lot more touch
You can get it down to Zem, gloss clears a lot. And that time is just beginning to tick away for team vitality
This is still where they want to be. They want to test that defense.
A mini-circle motion is lost to your E.O.E.
It's absolutely lost to the goal line, but luckily the shot was wide.
That was a big chance for vitality. They'd love to have a back again.
Once again, they're in a circle. They just look at all the credit types in goal.
They send their play through the ball to get the 50-50.
It's middle from season one.
Again, middle of the second type.
Almost blocks the exoics approach.
follow-up though, it's not like he's trying to join the entire team, he comes to the backports wide open, he's got options here, drops it to Zen, oh it's down to the post!
How on earth can Team Vitality score? In the circle, Snake's so patient, credit to them but Vitality's surely had at least one opportunity to pull the trigger, but instead they got it wired every single time.
Motion goes for a blip reset, the ball is bouncing, the ball is slowed, this is what they want, they've been chased by Gorks.
Scorps that was popped earlier on for Team Vitality, but now Boston in space has an outrage device, nothing.
He gets off on the pitch, the others! Scorps come on, he makes lots of money!
Don't get a miss! And Team Vitality do get the equaliser.
Well luckily he didn't even project it for this one, it's just one of the good parts.
20 seconds to go, Vitality do find a way through, and it was with a little physical play again.
It's the optimal plays in Game 3, they're doing the work for Vitality.
And once again, Team Vitality do break in the circles.
Hansen come back.
There is still time for them to win this one, even before overtime.
Zed, he had 100 boots when he went up.
That's a DZ on VORCE.
Motion on the side wall has to get a clean catch here
because Vitality are in.
It's hot in there.
The ball bounce has time to do so.
A few seconds left now.
I think at this point,
in the circle will certainly take overtime.
They're desperate for this ball to land.
And VORCE says, thank you very much.
Let's see what we can do.
Let's see, we've got a kick off strike, so we do is that, close-treat leads to a chance,
although it's not the most clear cut chance for Inner Circle. They still have a ball on the right side of the pitch,
but they're running that boost, and the attack kind of dies there.
As in, pass to it, backboard hit, golf's reads it well, exotic, trending points, and keep the ball active,
but Inner Circle really did the touches, and keeping their defense solid for the time being.
I want to see them get that high defensive line-up.
I liked when they were doing that in game 2 personally.
I don't so much like them when they're in and about their goal area.
I'm much harder to do that in an overtime.
Specialty, my top of the tier, Breshing.
And Steezy just wait and takes his moment.
And that'll be trio in the series of Vitality.
Oh, like it's kind of so smart for me.
So like, you know, since the break, so let's move 50, you're back into it.
Ah, yeah, inner circle.
You can't be falling for that one.
That is just meta these days.
losing 50s back to your team. It's got creating the power that exotic needed. And it's based
hospitality. Three years started into the series. We were a bit worried it might be for
in a circle. And surely they took the time I know today. No, they've got one. It's
a pretty good. They've taken it. We are we are now entering a world where in a circle
have taken a tactical time out. So we'll have a couple of minutes to talk through
all those things. And I think I think their overall mindset right now will be either
because they are playing very well against a team that just finished the second and the most recent major.
Or is it more frustrating because they're good players getting by now, surely?
I think it's frustrating, I think these guys are going to be annoyed because the games have not gone the way...
Sometimes you lose in roughly the ability to play really well, you sit fair enough,
but actually, like I tell you, they've definitely been there for the taking in one or two of these games.
I think that in a circle will probably know that they've missed opportunities here, which I think they have and
They're conceding cheap goals, you know, they're 150 50 goes wrong from their POV
And it's in your net. That's you know always always a tail turn roughly. Oh lucky 50 50s
We've all been there in ranked you're the other team guy 50 50 and then a goal immediately. You say oh so unlucky
These guys are not good, I don't have any circle of taking it that far say that my talent here not good
I don't think it's possible
they're annoyed about how this
series has gone. Good to see
coach Andy the bandy back on an
RCS main broadcast. Big plan of
him will be talking through his
players about what they could be
thinking right now. They could
be changing. I think you're
right as well. I was in the
same way with frustration. I
think that I mean, we saw it
in the sort of replay package
that the game provides as we
are watching the cars with
buyer of the school board
there. Just some weird
They're playing at the top of their pace. They're playing at the top of their game right now. Fair enough.
Maybe the occasional touch isn't as clean as it could be, but they're wiffing and they're being done by 50-50s.
As you mentioned, they should be seeing every day of the week.
So in a circle, I think if they keep their attacking instincts while just relying a bit more on the basics defensively,
they've got a chance. If they get themselves a game, that is par in my opinion. I think they're worth that.
I think they'll their par for them will probably be two games from here. If they can get to they'll think okay
At least well at least that shows it if we can start
You know the bit of a more reliable level. Yeah, and we're right there with the with one of the top teams in the world
but yeah, I'll start since just one game and yeah, you really don't want to get swept obviously with the
You know Sunday matches coming up regardless of the result here. They will be playing tomorrow
Let's see how it goes. Double kickoff, double fake kickoff, and then the mentality.
Exotic Tracing Okidone, it's time for the follow up, and it's 1-0 mentality with the kickoff strike.
Yeah, that sucks, doesn't it?
All those things you were talking about for the two full minutes of your coach,
you move away from the emotion of the game, you said, hey, we'll change this, we'll do that.
And then six seconds later, Team Vitality make a play, and you're on the ground.
You've got to just ignore that, pretend it's not happened.
We expect to get our goal anyway. Start again.
Oh, they're up against it again as here comes Stizzy.
He's gonna try 50 and throw it, so again,
great old good close out there by Inner Circle,
but you know, they're conceding shots early
and they're not easy shots to save.
Still a little bit of conceding,
but he's got a long time left.
This goalie's gonna be beautiful.
Definitely put that closer.
Maybe that'll get the future behind him.
Well, I think it's gonna be pretty.
Which has a taste for team vitality.
I think Goalps assume that someone
from Vitality would go for it.
So who's going for a 50-50?
Anyway, let's talk about that in a second because Stizzy almost made it to the Holstein mentality, yeah.
I think also going for the 50. The Holstein mentality works, it's a masterful fake.
Oh, they're all in that. They knew exactly what was going on, here comes Stizzy on the corner.
What's the 50-50 he was expecting earlier on in front of his opponent's goal?
Stizzy and Exotic, which one of these two, would the player to call for the ball? It's Stizzy.
So they're all in the corner, so Stizzy has only got one player to find, he finds it, he's on it,
tries to weave his way through, then he can't make his way through, could be too long here from Stizzy.
The composure of the beginning's end is just way too late!
As in with the anti-mech finish, you've got 11.
Oh, that's harsh. That is harsh.
He's completely slow in a circle.
He's made to look a bit silly there. They're just jumping around.
Anticipating the fast shots that never come.
My vitality is showing at his levels to this.
And in a circle for now, they're not at that level.
Yeah I mean they're in a harsher round right now in a circle and I don't think I'll be cocky with the way this one's going so far.
I mean sometimes it's just not the right shape. They're trying to put a circular shape in a square mole and it's not working so they've got to figure something out here.
They've got to figure it out last night. The problem is there's so many things now going wrong as well as the score line being wrong.
That's just not good enough for a circle.
Yeah I mean where do you start? It's all just gotta be confidence really. If you start
going and making a list of all the things that you've done wrong, it's gonna kill the
confidence. I think they just have to try to not really think too hard about that.
The specifics can, you know, make me be saved for the next event. But as you
cross for any re-game here, maybe just prepare for tomorrow as best as possible.
It's just all confidence. We can do this guys, come on. Let's just play rock-a-league.
Keep it simple because they've got a long list of problems.
You can't just keep going round and round in your heads like that.
You've got to stop playing your game, enjoy the last 2 minutes and 40 seconds
because there's every chance you've got yourself a goal here.
The moment it's starting to work away from them,
it's the vitality of making this one pretty easy.
It's been the easiest game so far to see vitality.
Goals would love to change that one goal, one moment,
one flash of excellence and the difference between
the sub-kick themselves a game or not.
Sotic leaves that on to Xen.
Force-read it well though, Goss is up.
Use all of his boost to try to get the dunk on Stizzy.
And Sizzy's claimed 50 cents into two touches.
That was a great play for Sizzy.
You know, if nothing else, it is experience
for the young team.
And this is something they can look back
and hopefully learn from
if they aren't able to get
any kind of comeback going to the end here.
But for Vitality,
I mean, they're just showing again
their consistency is there right now.
It was a long time question to write myself for the past few years, but now they are just showing up and beat the teams
You're supposed to beat so credit to them
This is the same inner circle who beat Manchester City in Swiss qualifier and the same inner circle
He won three full series yesterday and the same inner circle
We have the scores with a minute 47 to go. So maybe we're right in there
Right in there
Names of the greats a little bit too soon here. I think so as well
Yeah, for sure it was an odd goal. I didn't see that there was any danger and then suddenly there was the
clear shooting chance there for motion and Fred too only picked his spot into the top corner
and put it away. And once again they are in one goal with team vitality.
He's not thinking he had a completely open goal there. He just brought it in towards the focus goal.
Does it start? Yeah, 1 minute 30. In a second the mental can change so quickly Johnny Boyd.
Yeah, exotic. I don't think he really thought it was good to be as open as it was, but
He definitely didn't have an open goal there.
How about Talty actually double committed on saves, but they do get a follow up to landed.
That's the key with any double commit in defense these days.
You need it in Zidane's recovery to get the next save as well.
There's always another shot in modern rock.
Xayah is keeping control of all the back corner.
Something that Inner Circle were not able to do at the end of the last game.
Talty is showing them how it's done.
Sometimes it is just the simple stuff.
Again, 50's back from the side, making it look easy.
Just fighting as he missed with these 50's.
And these 50's can be dangerous for you as well.
You know, we've seen already,
the goal that Inner Circle did get on the ball
to just spray away from where you expect it to go.
Of course, doesn't get that,
who's team is squatting on either?
Of course.
Forget this edge.
You'll be able to get this one past him, not quite.
Then get something on it.
They're keeping the ball trapped right now
in the Inner Circle corner.
Can Inner Circle do anything more?
Can they get a hold of things?
And then the cells making one last opportunity.
Ah, not like that.
Exotic blinds the back of the nut and they will all be serious.
Like, you know, Exotic's just playing some solid, fundamental rock,
going right now.
God expects him to be going back corner.
They thought Exotic was going to play for the wall play,
but he just got to build and chips it.
So, you know, whether it's 50s back or whether it's grind shots,
whether it's just drive-by demos.
Exotic's doing a lot of the simple stuff very well here.
I've not been super impressed by his on-the-ball mechanics this weekend,
but he's always got the fundamentals.
20 seconds left and Team Vitality just making sure there are no complete disasters
Going to set themselves to another EU top four
But there's a chance maybe for course he got the boost to get there not quiet nothing in the tank and a horrible angle
Unfortunate there but in a circle, but it's gonna be Team Vitality the head to the top four
After a little bit more step I did a gust
But, yeah, GG's Vitality doing what they are supposed to do.
I think this is largely the way that we would expect this series to go, so it is good to
see Vitality doing what we expect them to do.
Since that's not been the story for the past couple of seasons.
As for in a circle, they have one more chance.
They go to the lower bracket, but there's still just one win away from top four in
what's already the best ever result for this team.
So they need to just go back to the drawing board for tomorrow,
try to stay positive, and come into more of a confidence and trust.
Because I think today, if nothing else, I think the standard issue is that we're not trusting each other.
They kept double committing, triple committing, panicking,
and they've got to play for each other more if they want to make top four.
Yeah, they certainly showed some signs, especially in those first one or two games,
that they were more than capable of taking team vitality by 36 games.
But in the end, it also climbed up.
And then game four was that last one.
So that's one they could shake themselves away from
and completely reset it tomorrow.
Well, this is a while.
Yeah.
The best possible, or the best result they've ever had.
So good luck.
Get tomorrow in vitality.
Move on to the top four in style.
And we'll see how they go tomorrow as well.
More RLCSE action coming up after the break.
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
MLA's can be a big test for a young homeowner
turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full, they go to the overflow lot.
I heard them out right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents,
but we can protect your home and auto when you bubble with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We had the red convertible.
I
Hey, don't be wasted
Just lie to me
Hey, don't be wasted
Feel the way
Under the weather
Counting the fire
And I
Keepin' me under
and I think it's what we
expect. Welcome back to the
Rockley Championship Series.
European open number four. You
see some fist bumps, vitality
or from vitality. You wonder
why it's because they just won
and quite handily as well. We
talked about today maybe
being a little bit faster than
yesterday and it started off
on that foot of four oh four
of vitality and I think it's
what we expect. Welcome back.
I'm leaf and I have a colon
Johnny with me. You guys
I mean, I thought it'd be a
forward to in a circle. Um no,
I got the two vitality would
win. I'm disappointed that in
a circle didn't get themselves a
game. I think that for one
would have been a fair reflection
and also would have been
something that would give a little
bit of confidence in a circle
tomorrow because come game for
it seemed that it disappeared.
You know, their trajectory
of ability sort of went up and
then down. So hopefully they
can figure that one out of
Andy the Mandy, but I enjoyed
it. I thought that was a good
game of rocket league and it
was nice to see. You know,
team vitality, you know, back in the money again, it's a team that I like vitality doing well in rocket league.
You know, it's something that feels familiar to me.
Yeah, I think Johnny, there's really, I mean, I guess the thing I want to focus on not really,
I guess, specifically the matchup is, but is vitality, right? Because I think at the beginning
of the season, there were just some question marks. Obviously, there was a bit of a hang up
with getting to this in the mix of everything here. How are you just feeling obviously
powering before, but how are you feeling now, overall seeing them pick, yesterday and tonight?
Yeah, I think my thoughts are they, I mean when I say that I'm part of the number one in the EU
and right now it's because they are the consistent team so far, they're winning as everybody they
should win against, they will need about one loss in the major finals of Jetsleman's recently,
so every other time we see them in the pitch, they're winning and until they
change that, you know, I'm going to keep them at that one spot, but
that. Yeah, that's right. That's
right in a circle. I know they
can be better. This they panic
so much in defense. I mean, so
many careless goals from just
unnecessary 50 50s like we saw
right there where the ball is
not dangerous. You do not need
to flip into that and then
they're jumping at nothing in
defense other times instead of
just going to straight to the
ball. They're not communicating
double triple committed. Yeah,
a lot of defensive blunders from
inner circle. They're not
actually that hard to fix if
they can go into the positive
mindset for tomorrow. I guess
the team. I mean, it's
it's a lot of people. So
looking at this, I mean, as
you said, so the chance for
the world, but the overall
inner circle, say we get to
open number five. Cole, how do
you feel now seeing them on
the field? Do you think this
is a squad that we're going to
see in this position again or
you think they might struggle
come the next qualification? Um,
I think they're going to have
to not lose their shape quite
so much as they did against
see vitality there. You know
when things went wrong, they
went really wrong. As Johnny
said, they chuck themselves
a strong chance at doing well again.
Well there it is.
They're not well-rounded enough, Carl.
Seriously, do you want to keep this shape more?
I wish, honestly, Johnny, I was so sad
that I didn't concentrate more in like GCSE maths
because I knew what you were offering
and I wanted to accept it.
I would have loved to have done circle puns for days
but I knew about two.
I knew pie and area and I'm out.
You guys can work off your circle synergy later on.
We gotta look at the next matchups here
T-Fitality 4-0 over his inner circle still in the tournament.
They're just down in the lower bracket now.
Their life is gone.
Here's the schedule for the rest of the day.
As we saw, we have four matches on the day,
a much nice quicker day.
But they are best of sevens across the board.
Let's start talking about the next one,
ninjas in pajamas versus synergy.
Ninjas in pajamas.
The team that I was not allowed to power rank
is now up here, I think.
We still have to agree though, Johnny,
that this is a squad we expect to be
at the top of the European region.
Yeah, you know, best of lives. So no problem. Yeah, these guys are, they're good and best of
lives. They've been making the playoffs consistently, but it now knows when I don't trust them anymore.
The best of seven. I don't trust them. Look at that. By the way, from George, he's ready for a
whole summer two fans in the backgrounds and many more fans online. That's well, the game
got. Yeah, I do have many fans, but in Scotland, we don't need, you know,
I don't trust them. We I don't mind you putting them on end of the topic, but I don't trust NIP anymore because we're in the best of seven, so you can't trust these guys.
It's cool. Quite the strong opinion they have of this squad. Are you sharing those sentiments?
Um, I think it's a little bit harsh that they're a team that sort of revel in the chaos and that's sort of okay
So do you trust them? I trust them to be an old team
I trust CRR to go absolutely crazy and demo everyone and just chase everything
You know, I trust Jory is to be a little bit hit and miss mechanically, but when he's hitting
Oh my goodness, he is so good. So I trust them to be themselves
And I think that inconsistency is part of it, so I sort of agree like that, because that makes sense
Well, I guess the question now is we trust them to beat the squad on the other side of the field
side of the field met synergy because I mean again these are are no names cold
these are these are players that are not going to be pushovers and maybe there is
that possibility the best of seven fingers yeah I mean these players are no joke
at all I mean you know AJG who's flown over here to be an EU as well he's got
a wonderful winner and overtime yesterday we did like a little hop and
turned his car no dodging into it and moves like that you know you can't
you learn those two instincts and synergy certainly have those instincts and yeah, it's nice to see
Sierra and Burrito on the same pitch as well. Some people for me may remember that those two were
inseparable for a long time across various teams. So those guys come up against each other,
but fans and bannies will be fun to watch.
Armonic. Their coach is called Armonic. Just to confuse us even more. Not iconic.
Armonic. So what is it with Rocket League players and coaches calling themselves something ending
with it and it's always sorry about that.
I don't got it.
Our buddy, the coach, should have back in up Synergy today.
Well, here it is.
You can let us know what you think
at the progressive fan vote, hashtag NIP or hashtag SNG.
So if it's team you think, do you guys in chat trust NIP?
Or do you think maybe this is going to be Synergy's series?
Reminder, they both have their second life here.
So maybe that's going to be at the back of the head
and allow them both to kind of relax into the series.
but you'd like to stay or win this still
to push yourself a little further in the bracket.
I think overall, I'd have to guess
where these are gonna go, these predictions are gonna go.
And I'll start it off by saying what I've said,
this whole pre-show so far, or it's whole day so far.
Ninjas and pajamas are going to be my pick.
The question is, is Johnny after us,
Cole, going to also do that?
Because I'm assuming you're on the same page.
Yeah, I'm going into pajamas.
I do trust them in this series where they finished second in the EU in the kickoff weekend and then I think it was top six overall
A kickoff weekend and that's from the land so these guys are fine investants if they're absolutely fine Johnny prove me wrong
Go again. I will say that if you if I'm just picking who I think is gonna win
I'll say NIP. Yeah, I do think they're gonna win, but not by the odds
I'm seeing in the channel point prediction those are great
So synergy if you're looking to put channel points of those odds
Okay, so we're locking in inches of pajamas for Johnny as well, even though he doesn't quite trust them, I think that does lay the ground going into into this series that maybe inches of pajamas are not going to give us a another four oh, I mean, I know show he's hoping for it.
He's always loving.
He's efficient series whether it's a one oh one oh one or four four four four four on the day.
Maybe Cole what percent chance how many games you think for four or four or four or four or be something cool.
4-0, 4-0 would be something quite special. The 16-goal one game or four game thriller.
I've never seen that one before. What prediction are you going to give me?
You want me to give you a specific prediction? How many games do you think you're going to give me?
Yeah, I'll say in six. I'll say Nip in six, I think. I think Synergy. I mean, they took
Karminkov yesterday to five games. Well, they beat Karminkov in five games, you know what I mean?
So any team that can do that, you have to show them some respect, even though, as Johnny,
you've pointed out yourself, once you're in best of seven territories, for whatever reason,
It's a different feel you know a tactical time answer a thing as well
You can have that slow burn into a series
And you know sort of you they haven't made a main event all season and they finally make one and they look great
And we're wondering how did they miss every main event up until now because against carbon-carp?
They were playing so well beat them in game five overtime in a very back-and-forth series
So they clearly have the required level to play against the top tier competition
I mean, they beat KC yesterday.
What else do you need to know about them to know that they
are at this level?
But the rest of the season is a problem.
You wonder, was that just one day where it's all gone right?
And now you're going to regress back
to the main, which isn't looking very good, right?
We'll see you for the season.
I don't want to take away from synergy at all, right?
Because like any team that's here is in their spot.
But we also have to take it in the fact
that we saw what K-Corp was doing yesterday, right?
We saw some of the plays in the highlight package that they were making and I do question whether this was a synergy that snuck through
rather than beat one of Europe's top
Synergy synergy. I thought it was a good series in this energy plate. They played well
They created a lot of their own goals. It wasn't KC
Just giving goals to them. They you know synergy we're earning them
They're going out there and they're out playing KC and all of those goals
They're following up second man very quickly in particular. That was why I liked most of
my synergy. If the ball went mid, someone was there. They were just on it. They were
not hesitated. They were trusting each other to get the ball mid, which is something
a lot of the best teams in the world have struggled with this season for you to see
the ball go across and no one's there for it. Looking to shop for our valiant. I'm
going to call someone out in particular. We're in the Royal De Roque League for that,
but yeah, they've been working on it as well, of course. Yes, synergy, they
They did a good job of that yesterday.
They always had a second man more than ready.
Also as well, they won two huge overtime yesterday.
The games they won, the series they won,
was after a four minute, 46 game five overtime against Novo,
and then that game five overtime against Karmicor,
which is a couple of minutes itself.
So that is a, you know, for two best of fives,
it's about as exhausting and mentally taxing
as you could possibly get.
So I think a huge part of how this series
is gonna go, Leif, is how synergy start.
If they start on their flat,
it might be similar to the last one,
where Mithra gonna run away with it.
If they start and they're hot from the off,
they've got a serious chance.
Yeah.
Hey, well, we do have some faith
in Ninjas and Pajamas from chat,
and we do have our match ready.
Now's the time to find out
if Synergy is going to carry that on through
to the playoffs.
They had some good matches yesterday.
Can it continue here?
Ninjas and Pajamas are going to be their next test.
Let's find out what the result is.
It is a fantastic day for some Spanish Rocket League. Half of the lobby takes the field,
hails from Spain. Two of the players are from the Netherlands. The one player that we have
remaining teammates is from Argentina. Quite the crop that we've got. Game one brought
to you by Progressive.
There's a second right, Sheree Grunny. You couldn't have introduced this matchup
any better than that because let me tell you, these are two good squads here. And
And I thought, honestly, supplies are the best.
The one thing that they omitted in their analysis
was that Burrito and CRR, they used to be a duo back in the day.
And now they're coming up against each other
in this big match right here.
Return to CRR.
Very used to at least competing for major slots.
Returns to getting them on occasion.
For AJG, this is now the best result.
No matter what happens, for him since May 20,
in 24, when he was playing for crew over in South America,
This has been a long time coming for them at Synergy, their first top 16.
This entire season, they've also now got themselves their first top 6.
Wow. Something must be in the water at the moment.
I'll re- Europe right now, Joe.
Out of 54 as well. And a couple good par-tards right here. Hold on, wait a second.
How far back? How far back? What is he saying?
Can you see how hard I mean, he's that, the exact way he needs to do only good shot?
AJG's not the best player.
And then of course at that point, CRR scores.
But Shulker, you give me his moves, then.
Oh, it's good to say, yes.
Something must be in the water because, I mean,
I was 54% off, so I'm coming back from the depths.
AJG coming back from the depths as well. Who's next?
I was saying, Turtle, you're going to pick me up.
Get the controller back up.
Let's see what happens.
You're going to pick up the controller back up yesterday?
Well, I'm not going to say it's a CJ,
because he's already going to keep staying all the time anyway.
He's still f**king staying.
You can make lots for him.
low seeding
and i believe they have been the no-nonsense team
from a friend of theirs gave us a lot of lucky results
and i feel vitality with the ones that they've been winning
got the job done
garrus expires dorito
looks to try and put something together
holy honest way to me if you actually can keep that going
just doesn't quite have the boost
and the rs of the backboard next one up
it's gonna be crr
it's gonna be just half of the side by dorito
yeah
great job keeping the ball in right here and then NIP super consistent as a
moment I'm expecting out of this team and this particular set it's just really
to control the base and I just think that out of all the teams here if I can talk
about mentality being the most consistent but in terms of being the most
consistent against a team who I would say is not on the same level as them I
think it's NIP team is really great as that speaking of the NIP they love to
Punched down. They absolutely adore punching down.
Uh, they took a great job of it. I think that is interesting to know as well,
T-Bates, because if there was any way to describe Ninjutsu and Pajamas last season,
consistent would have been very low on that list of words.
What's on that score again?
That'd be the Rado era.
Oh yeah, you're right. It was the Rado era. Yeah, there was no consistent in there at all.
No, none whatsoever, if I take it.
Right on out of the 24, that's been consistent.
We're gonna see you next week.
We're playing like it's a day.
We're gonna see you that way. Oh! AJG, great clear.
Those guys don't know AJG.
Token's talking about investments all these years.
It's 2020-40, you said?
He's playing through Newson Squad, you say?
May 2024, almost two years ago at this point.
He's playing through Newson.
He's playing through as well.
Now, in complexity as well.
Big top of it on the complexity squad.
People kind of follow AGG for that.
All the mistakes he made on the way back in the boss.
But then after that, it's for him to necessarily have
to go on the way he would want it.
Now he's back at the high slope.
Speaking of players that play with complexity, here's Ciara.
Has a pretty much been a new worldwide player.
Everywhere it's so far.
AGG just trying to beat that for the reason.
First real off, that's the opportunity that we have to see.
He's not working out right now.
Is Ryze going to try to avoid getting demos?
It's there just in time, but this game's pretty dominant so far.
Yeah.
The favourites.
Nothing coming out of the stage here right now, showing nothing at all, honestly.
Look, I mean, I'm not gonna say outclassed, not yet, but they've got to start relaxing with this ball.
They're using so much of this just to get to this sort of position.
They're in here, right, and get to that goal so far away from Preston Busty, and it's gonna have VGG who does not bite.
I like the idea right there from Sinnergy and Lord Poppup, follow each other up as well,
Good luck mid-pass as well right here
Rixie, who's that? Rixie?
Oh no, it's all gone wrong
It's all gone wrong, what'd you say?
Did you say Rai?
Rai! There's no chance that's Rai
I can tell you that's Rai
No, no, no, no, Rai is not that like Rai
What language is that?
Listen, we're not happy about it
Alright, guys
Welcome to the club
We've not made any changes
I'm really saying that NIP looks like they're fans of the name at the moment, Eva.
Renell, the first real offense that we have seen from synergy.
They got nothing for it, no real shots on target, absolutely no goals.
It's pretty comfortable there with NIP.
Right on his way up, EGG, I think our attempt for a pinch doesn't quite work.
Double double also doesn't come off.
These positions, Joris,
he's low 50, it's straight up to early. I mean, I don't know if he's supposed to deal with this right now.
NIP dancing around.
And they have been very comfortable here in game number one.
I mean, it's been extremely comfortable.
I will say that,
there's not much fucking left here to take away.
Oh no!
That's the low score.
That's a bad one, Gold two. Put that on the top ten.
But what the heck just happened?
See, all right, there's the bomb right now.
What is the real doing?
The real HG, rookie hit!
You know that is, we're going to call that a morale booster.
They just wanted to see if they could pull someone all special.
I'll give them, and if it doesn't, they'll make me throw a smile at them.
What'd they do, yeah?
What did you say?
You're going to throw a smile?
Ah, you're going to kill the guy.
You may be home call.
I mean, listen, he ain't got nothing else to smile about from that game.
I'll tell you that much.
Correct.
Two shots to the name.
All come from Ry, R-X-I-I-R-I, and then many 10 shots come from NIP, and it's honestly expected from a guy.
I really do believe that when they play a team that they're better than them, and you quit in such a great word for it,
they're like punching down. I just think they're so consistent with that, and honestly, a lot of these other teams that might
better than an IPDG and I can't even look that when you play team like this for synergy
they're not bad you've got political championships played in majors, competed in majors, and they
just know how to handle them, they know how to beat them, and it's gonna be a precursor
for the whole entire set and show them.
So a quick matter as well regarding how the practice works for this, who ever loses
this one, she walks down to take on the winner between Man City and K.Corp. So yeah,
I think you'd still prefer that
over the potential of a KC match,
which in a circle of unfortunately,
found themselves in the position of,
but also most importantly,
because the way that Europe does work,
we've got five spots over here.
You're going to win this. You guarantee yourself a top four.
You're in a great position for the rest of the split
to try and get yourself over to Paris.
So that's what NIP are looking at right now.
This would put them on that front foot.
Exactly. And that's right on the nose
GK and general mates are both not playing today, but he's huge in points right there. I mean, you got the five spots
Okay, okay, we're gonna have a second we need to get the game yet again because means you base have just been thrown out
I'm assuming a few of my join us right there. So we'll get the next much going nice and quickly
Maybe a few seconds as well that synergy do okay. That was a rough one to start off
I'm looking to cement themselves as a number one. However, T-Bates, wouldn't shock you whatsoever if during the tournament that Casey and Jeremy seem to be struggling with, and by telling you look poised to go and win their first regional win, I don't know how long, NIP just goes, actually.
You'll find that we're winning this one.
If NLP actually does end up pulling it off, you got to tip your cap to them and honestly it would make us look real bad because
on the
Pre-show as you know
None of us agree with leaving the cap bringing them up 45 times in a row
We would be deserved. We would deserve that entirely
Oh and so in saying that yeah, I'd be you know, it'd be interesting
If that were to actually end up happening, but in fact, I should know if that happened
I don't and do I believe this can happen. I actually don't as well, but they're on a good path put yourselves automatically to top four spot and
My space two of the best teams of the region not already being here
I mean to give yourself a chance, but then NIP's got to show us that it can be the other best team
That region which is the only the only downside you've got here is assuming KC go and place the level that they should do
You are in KC's firing line on that side of bracket if you win this one
So that that's the only downside, but the upside is literally everything else. So you'd probably take it
To be asked on this one is nice to see though
The players are on synergy back to playing well
You look at the players on this squad and you turn around and say this is a team that has not been top 16 all season
If it how on earth is a team that's got
It's got, you know, Dorito on it, it's got AJG on it.
How long has it not made it top 16?
Well, they have at least put that right for now.
Very far away though, from a world contending spot.
See, what do you think about the city squad?
You asked the question, how in the world?
They should have been better.
What's better, what's better for you?
What do you mean?
What's better for you?
Well, like qualifying for events,
I mean, I'm not sure if I'm
going to be able to do that.
I would have been a very good
about the Swiss. They did not
enjoy the Swiss. What's the
most annoying thing, actually
is that if you do take a look
into the synergy results, it's
all 17 17th position. They
keep missing out in that final
rounds. Every single time was
a quick update for me. We are
getting the server or so it
will get the players back in.
But it is nice to see, I want to say again, Spanish Rocket League on the come up yet again,
three players from Spain. Not this consistently. I think they've always had good players,
but having like the spread of players has been quite difficult for the country.
Yeah, I mean, it is. I mean, it's actually a surprise because I just feel like Spain will be
up there in terms of just talent. You see what France can do. Your country has done
a decent job. Pretty well. Y'all are kind of falling off at the moment. Y'all are suspicious.
Y'all are suspicious, so we'll see what y'all can keep going.
Well, we have major champions.
I mean, they might not be in this tournament anymore, but still.
I mean, yeah, but yeah, but I mean, y'all had some players coming up, like you had to,
or you had to try and get the joy of the abject.
What is that?
Oh, also versus, well, yeah.
No, no, he's not.
Oh, no, no.
Is he Danish?
Uh, I believe he's Danish.
Okay, okay.
I'm always very scared about getting those countries wrong.
Well, the flags, I don't know what they look like.
Yeah, I'm used to them.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, because yeah, this is nice. I just felt like that be um
somebody's gonna want but insane and
this regard in that you're
Britain got bad some good players, but you are calm in the same boat of Spain where it's bring out how
There's how many Spanish players are on the field but it has a strong representation among but it's the same Spanish players
We've been seeing honestly for the past half decade
So I want to see some new Spanish players give me some new some new talent. They just kind of mean it was
There's one in Spain for four players still in this upper bracket if Wingtoon's dizzy as well, so.
Going well for them, I do believe actually there is, yeah, more Spanish players than there is French.
But we do, most importantly, have six players in the lobby ready to go for game number two, Synergy.
Got a chance to reset. What do they do? They don't see them immediately. Okay, there we are.
You know when you turn the watch on and you say something like that?
be hilarious that'll have to put that on my bingo card the show going to ask oh there it is they
support me you're like never mind though they don't uh-huh never say anything sir mate and uh
if we're in a university it's not work out scurrara's gonna leave that for his teammate
ajg does well to cover the back corner now they're gonna do again beaver reaction test for right
straight back to how we finish up the last game nip are the ones hunting down this first goal
The R&D, and now I'm going to synergy to really start getting into offense.
It's all a couple of opportunities.
I'll say about a minute left in the last game where they started utilizing the feeling,
started going left and right horizontally in the midfield, trying to make something happen.
At that point in our VR, you have control of them.
So if you're a synergy fan, expect more out of them.
In those regards, they want to be truly competitive.
By going up, Ryan, they need us a horrible bounce for everybody.
HHG on the reset, does he have supports? Rai was on the way, three to a massive dive in, has to do well, does do well.
What's going on with that third man? You have to know that you're going to get something out of it.
Joris, good fake, and HHG has strayed at him.
Wait, so he's for HHG right there. He's got to be able to meet that every single time. Not a bad thought from NIP, but you're now the presence of mounting.
And here they come. HHG's got four saves already. We are just here in ninety seconds.
I think you'd like to do something else, like chasing this ball down.
C.R.R. straight to A.J.G.
Breathe him from the way.
It will go past to the ball.
Probably gone against them too much, though, as Ryfog's in.
Over to Jorah says.
That's a target, and I think not.
They're in good positions. They're just not really taking them.
Opportunity is just on a... at least a pair form, though.
You know, and that's really what they want.
Typically, you know, he's AJG, you're probably the same.
I do remember him kind of used to sit back with deepers a lot,
even back in his complexity, or enter neutral days.
So that's where he's comfortable at.
He's good.
I mean, he and I, this team are totally fine.
But getting these 1-0 wins, they can get him.
I guess he's in a p-square.
You go long.
You have time.
Right here, you dare.
You know he doesn't hot.
Let's get that feeling of this.
He shoots ass.
Thank you, Gene.
again. Rito, hot-cold, too much from this position. Oh, it's completely wasted. You're
supposed to be having more players to be a lot happier, fortunately. Gonna get some,
he's gonna get them off the respawn.
Oh, that's cool right there from the real. Canof, as he could have dropped it on the
AJD. It looked like he was in two sets of mines, like he wanted to go for a reset
and saw AJD potentially late. Nothing came out of it, and if you're synergy, you're
knock really getting me chances that you got to convert on those
three to back down to right running only south faithful points is right who
they were muster his presence felt a little more in this game and I think
that we kept relatively quiet they've had positions of the ball they've not
really done too much from it ever since the opening 90 seconds well
and they did 4 saves.
CRR, skin, just got one around.
SGG gets rid of the danger.
Look, how do you time?
It's a grito.
Gonna give him absolutely none of it.
The zero boost of full send.
I love it.
That's what you gotta do sometimes.
Oh, he has a fake right there for zero.
Oh, he has a fake problem.
Oh, he just dealt for his efforts.
He gets 5-2 and needs to take it out.
3. Oh, what a block. Oh, he's getting harassed.
And so I have to go.
Does well enough.
Edge Yorah's back into position.
Just over a minute left here.
No, no goals.
Much improved performance here from Synergy.
Edge of these skims are all onwards.
Not too struggling to really find the follow.
Just good win followed with, OK, well,
I guess it's your turn now.
Yorahs, you need to be challenged.
I'll send this video, you're doing well.
Always send somebody.
You won't let anything happen.
Great.
Rise now.
Got a free playoff not back for us.
This has to go a little easier.
I realized Sierra was going to front-chase down.
Here, you're being rocked right here.
CJ, CJ, you were calling.
Nothing's happening.
It's just a whole bunch of 50-50.
Go for a one demo and then look for another one.
Dory, if you're never scoring that, like,
like a count of attempts.
And you can capitalize on that nonsense.
Oh, it's not there.
It's not there.
It'll be okay, though.
Who's next? Who's next? No one is next. How many more opportunities like that are they going to get?
Well, LIP have kind of got away with one there. LIP modernists try and punish that.
Last few seconds of the game, only just pushing the ball back into the corner.
Set up again, that's still dangerous.
Yoris, looking for CRR, CRR can't quite get to it.
I think this is where a lot of European teams end the shine, especially once you're at the NIP level.
Let's see if they can capitalize quickly. They can't, right? Shut the door.
Now, all of a sudden, I think Synergy won't be able to establish themselves.
And now we're back to the ebb and flow show.
Big flow. 50-50. One demo.
I think we're going to be able to establish ourselves.
Oh god, big boom, 50-50, one demo.
It's gonna take somebody following another one up.
It's gonna be trying to do right there,
but it simply wasn't enough.
The MMP, I feel, I've been playing this far too cautiously.
I don't know what you need to send multiple players.
It's like, they were expecting a little bit too much,
the pace coming towards them.
Ah!
It's gonna be straight up, it's Dorita, what a block.
Straight up, CRR clears to Joris.
CRR's on the way,
we're gonna get the passing playoff.
It's a very slow pass.
And AJG can get open to it.
And double committed right there with Burrito.
I don't think that was necessary.
Burrito could have played up. That was a clear beat.
That's an opportunity right there for Synergy.
That was a ride, but Burrito is always got less than 100 moves right in the corner.
Even enough just to sit back on the back wall, gets the dunk, and brings it all the way back out.
Right a little bit of time.
50.
Gonna try and look for a second one. That's two players now.
the open air! Oh no! It's in and it will be!
Doritos Secures!
An NIP after Thoreau in Game 1 have lost Game 2.
Yeah, you can just feel it.
At least that's how it's done. I don't know what y'all thought of that, though.
If I could tell that they were in trouble,
they had too many opportunities for an NIP.
I just kind of squandered away.
We talked about a show, guys. They were playing a little too cautious.
And then you play more aggressive, more upright,
and just kind of have a flurry of offense attacked by the kind of nugget
They did in game one.
Getting away from that, I think you're always going to give Synergy a chance and I touched on it, man.
I think they're going to win these games one to zero.
HG4 saves, two shots, 3 to 1.
Since the opening 90 seconds, 4 coming out, 90 seconds in.
And he just had it done, he was hard done by Pa.
Drito, Rai, it's on you now.
You can go into that and get the rest of them.
But the NIP, frustrating game from them, because they were so dominant in game one,
And then they kind of just went back to the basics, you know, I'm sure coach would be very happy with the foundational rocket league that was played, but
do you really keep playing it? You know, when you are this much the favourites, is foundational rocket league the way to play a match where you should be the better squads?
Most definitely not. You gotta come out and you gotta absolutely let your opponent know that you're better than them.
Just take any life and hope out of them and just let them know that this game's over
None set match. Maybe that's what they wanted to do after game number one, but yeah, but fortunately for synergy they had a
Extra time out and that extra time out gay. She's on the regroup
Lock in after the four oh slapping. So now going in this game number three
Could be interesting to see what these two teams do. Oh
No
the other way around now my friends, we're getting into Game 3 very shortly. We're having some arguments right now, arguments that we are losing, but we shall continue to have them bring Game 3 to you very, very quickly should everything go our way.
But we're looking at this as well regarding the the overall results from the season. I really want to pick your brain on this one actually
Regarding team synergy and the rest of the split. Is this a one-off to you or is this something that they can replicate?
Well, the question more or less is are they an actual threat to go to Paris?
I mean if you could be Carmine Corp, I think you're a threat, right?
I mean I think people will say Carmine not playing as well
There's always a whole bunch of copium out there, but at the end of the day, they play who's against you
on the other side of you and they have to go against Carmen Corp.
Carmen Corp had to get the job done, they couldn't get it done.
And no terrible team is gonna walk out here and get Carmen Corp.
Can't make a team of you, me, and Johnny can go play Carmen Corp and win.
We're just gonna get slapped. It don't matter what type of form, Carmen Corp's in.
Now I know what it's a little... I don't know what it's a little...
Me and Joey are undefeated against the French.
Undefeated.
And in a show magic is the French French talent. I believe what you're referencing. Yeah, but
That's good to help you for you and you should pack this in an imagination
Didn't have to imagine. All right. We made it reality for him. All right
Well, there you go. You won't be beating Carmichael me time soon and
We were offered all right they keep declining who you follow my court. Yeah, it's back room. We did the 4v3
Okay, you're still
But I didn't say that.
The whole point I'm making is that it doesn't matter what type of day.
Carmine Corp, NRG, anybody at that level is on.
You still have to play them.
And those slouchers are good to beat them.
And so the center should be able to take them down.
I mean, I think that always gives the team a chance to compete
at the highest level, compete to really make
majors that can tend for them.
They just have to be consistent.
You talked about it.
Boy, they finish it, 17, 17, 17th all the time.
It all started now.
Yeah, so even if they do well right here say when this series finished off or top two whatever
They're gonna then have to go and in my estimation do what defines greatness consistency being a pro
You have to be consistent over a span of a month two months not just one weekend. So that's the big question mark for them
Yeah, well the good news for them right now is that we've hit that part of the tournament where every single win is now
Not getting you one point extra your overall standing to getting to for these sort of wins
I do believe it is six points. Should you make a top four from here?
It's currently four points that they're currently sat on so as you get off a lot the good thing
That's why they've also got is whilst generalates and GK are out
They are a long way to go those two are gonna be like taking points off each other to
Try and grab themselves one of those
Five available spots for Europe
In this season, but yeah, just having a look at this right now synergy 17 for 22nd
I'm going to go back to the
end. Uh, EU open one 17 to
22 EU number two, and I do not
believe I see a result here for
you number three. So it's, uh,
it's not been the results that
they've necessarily wanted
throughout those, but this has
been this has been much
improved much, uh, towards
what they would prefer to
have. Actually, I'm kidding.
It was worse. They got some
the game. We have to go back
to the lobby. We have got them
ready to go for game number
three and logic dictates now
to you, Bates that because the
last one went towards synergy.
This one is now going to be
over Nip. Is that one logic
dictates when you're basing
that off of. It just doesn't
go by any soft logic
whatsoever. That was about
to say what kind of rocket
If I actually worked...
Well, I was saying, I didn't know if you became a published man recently without my knowledge.
I didn't know I had a book to go read.
Our Rocket League series work, that should be an interesting dissertation.
Somebody who's going for their doctor, maybe you should write about that.
Might do well.
But why no one can ever be consistent in Rocket League?
That's not bad.
Really, not bad at all.
Almost got everyone in.
We've got game three ready to go.
And after a 4-0 and a 1-0, I'm trying to see both teams score here in game number 3.
Let's get into it.
And what my series right now, debates, where because it is so stop-star, you've now got
to be very mentally strong because it doesn't really change anything.
You have to go and get the result, even if things aren't going the way that you
might necessarily have imagined the series to go.
Yep, such as a Best of Five now, got the two games out of the way.
one winning the first three is going to be in good position with the stops and the brakes
kind of gives you a chance to have a little bit of a mental break and also seeing as well
what they did right in game number one what did they write in game number two and of course what
they did wrong early on the ball didn't quite catch that ball and I can do it sneaky
needs to be a little bit more safe next time because only did not have any control of it
Booster was not looking very nice at all here for NIP.
But here is the thing though for Synergy.
They don't contest that midfield all that often.
Even when the Booster was low for their opponents.
They seem happy to see the ball roll into their side.
Holy, bit of time.
Passed one, low on two and three of them.
Just gonna take the 50 here.
Frank called the Jets.
We'll say as well with the boost update.
I think it does tend to benefit the offensive team a little bit more, but I mean, there is information
that of course the defensive team gathers and the defensive team here in this situation is
synergy. They can see when the boost spot pops up, where the general pace of it is. So when
you're getting off pressure, you can kind of scheme up that little bit more than, I would say,
you used to be able to yourself. Offensive teams like NIP or they control all the pressure
where they put you in your own back third. They're gonna have to be real clinical and
Honestly, we're creative. At this point, at this juncture, our business is a little good enough.
Oh, Yoris, that was a really poor shot from him. Straight into the taverns.
It has been formed quite a while now here for NIP.
I'm really going to be a proper follow-up, only he's just trying to recycle the play.
He's hard to make.
Gigi, does he turn? He does eventually.
Back off the wall.
It's a nice little palm onwards from Rito as a big miss.
Always not look comfortable on occasion, AJG. Reset!
Wastes it, I feel. Surprise case at the first time shot, but...
Yeah, that needs to be performed a lot better.
How better are you, right here, synergy?
Thought I'd pick a little bit of pressure, buff on your orders, and...
Okay, it's kind of feeling like Gander won.
How does it look a bit different in the system?
The synergy squash, like, one of some problems of pressure.
NIP! Where's the... where's the creativity?
Oh, there it is. It's an engineer.
What a great test. This is what death rock you go about.
It's...it's...it's right.
It's certainly what it's like to be a defensive team in Rocket League.
You finally see some offense. You finally think, oh my goodness, I'm going to ground my shell here.
I'm going to go and see the world.
And then if you know, go back. Get back into your shell.
You're playing defense. How dare you?
You're not going to play offense, fine this game.
I'm going to try again.
It's going to take it for now.
Prey to the path of AJG, CRR.
Very, very light on that first touch.
Just look at how long that took.
Synergy had to send somebody at some point.
Instead, it's the midfield.
They didn't quite fancy it.
Rise on the back door for whatever reason.
Oh, it's going under them!
The thing just came out, I guess.
The reed all off the sale,
buzz back down yours and expect a touch!
And I think I only just had Nathan's teammate to get something on the ball right there!
He's not looking away!
All of a sudden, as soon as he ties it up on...
...a bit of a misplay from NIP!
Right?
Jorius just knew that there was a demo potential around him
and reacted as if that potential was a certainty.
When so early he just could not get to the ball!
Now let's take your chickens to Worlds!
Oh, the mode has beat him!
Oh, I don't even know if he made it for that.
Who's going to save?
Let me see.
Oh, he goes off! Oh, he goes off!
Nice, nice, nice.
Initially, I thought CRR had just
efforted all this
on the front side of that fitting so fast.
Now look for that leap-watch flavor now.
Jory's came in, he got a little depth
redirect right by,
and the mistakes of about 20 seconds ago,
away in a key right back up
worry about anyone for the first time in a series of pro football teams having
scored you didn't ask for it
indeed I've tried a bit more of an open game this has been a lot more open though
game one was a block game two was a little bit too cookie cutter when it
comes to the Rocket League now you gotta go chasing for it AGG's go chase this
down I can angle that you play the ball the pinch just doesn't really
work. Holy, tough to ball back in, but there's no one around here. Might be not following
each other nearly as often. CRR's reset once, not once in a 50, does get it. H&G just powers
on through. It has been to stand out before but from his team, I had it towards 500 points
in game number three. Another force saved. Name would like to do something else.
Yeah, he would. He would like to be on the score, ideally within the next 44 seconds,
at least to tie the game up. That's what he would like to do. You have a couple
more chances. A couple of chances in this game in particular and they're gonna need more than that.
It cannot be, this keeps on coming right now.
That's just really report from the wall.
Right into the path of the oncoming challenge. There has been something not only that
since you've struggled with it, but I think you've struggled with it as well.
The plays to get out of defense have just, well, for example, got very badly indeed
Indeed, as Joris did not expect the death of the backboard.
He's too far forward.
I see, I see.
You give him the betterment of the doubt.
That's great.
I think he just missed.
Joris, unfortunately, did it, but there was he on the left.
He's definitely hitting that one, surely.
Almost, for that.
I'm expecting that as well.
Got another opportunity right here.
This time it looks like he's going to be able to catch it in.
AJG, another save.
Oh, my goodness.
I think I hear from Siro.
He goes right all the way.
He's got a score right here to give him a chance.
Don't shoot.
And this game
Yeah, half looks at this goal and it's what they just shy of taking the opportunity
Right could have done a lot there instead. He tries to go in for the low 50 and the loafers just never arrives
Yeah, so you're a rough spot
I feel like if you're Synergy, the timeout can not be on, no I'm hoping they don't.
I think no more timeout.
I just want a little bit of game time back to back.
Yeah.
I guarantee it's a no-call Synergy.
I'm happy to just try and get into game number 4.
Good, good, good, good.
Both of these teams have two timeouts.
Honestly, they're lucky there's no RLT, that's what it says.
They have to stop it before it's late.
They need to support for the timeouts.
They're lucky about that team.
All these people they love you and that's why this product is so great. They're giving teams extra timeouts
And sometimes these teams need it and saying that though synergy. I like the way they start off the game
I don't like the way to end it and I know they kind of got a little bit rushed
But when they start picking up the pace, I think your favorites in IP
Your more experienced team. They're also just a team that has in my estimation the better players all around
So for synergy gotta go back to that game number two style slow it down play it up
Little mucky slow pace.
I think you're trying to win these games 1-0, maybe a 2-1, if in a bad spot.
But once these games start going 3-4, I hope not 5.
And for Synergy's sake, then, NIP just gotta take them.
Yeah, it does feel right now that if it's an open game, NIP will be the faster, maybe the better team in those positions.
It's gonna be almost anti-rocky league in a bit of a light.
Defend, get the goal lead, and then keep the goal lead!
Ah, this is Joris.
He's going to get his go, double commit.
Is that going to cost them here?
H&G's on his place.
First finish the last game with 5 saves.
And the game before it with 4,
he's going to try and take 6 in this one as CRR.
That's past 1, almost at the left.
2, Joris.
There's not really any passing options,
he's going to go by himself, cleared long,
And it's just recycled, but back to where we usually been for this series.
Yeah, right back in Synergy's back third, and not even right in her back third, but it's got a couple of boxes.
It has exactly what it's all used to sits.
Saying that though, like Synergy does look more comfortable, the faces blow more.
Something they can handle.
At least that's what it appears to be.
As long as it's at that type of speed, they always have a chance.
I'm trying to find the breakaway. What I would like Cindy to do is just maybe not rush
the first man challenge back, you know, that you're going to sensibly dive in forward.
Maybe go looking for the demo on NIP's Birdman. Maybe just wait a second downfield because
it just seems like we've got to crowd our goal line with as many cars as we possibly
can.
That we need it right now, Serah's on very little boomstance.
Yeah, Ry's not gonna be in some trouble by...
Oh, no!
What's on Earth? Have I just stand up? What is going on? There's still not a goal!
This is European Rocket League, I'll tell you that much. What the heck is happening?
The net was so empty that nobody could score it.
That's what made it more difficult to score.
That's incredible right there. Another opportunity covered, and I'd be pretty sure right now from Oli, but he has no moves, Oli!
You can't pre-jump and he ain't got nothing in the tank, baby.
It's something not gonna ever go out for you.
And look, it all may come back, back, back to you.
I can't get my words out.
Got it, Tate.
Synergy.
Yeah, they've gone and tried to take advantage of those.
CRR's in pretty much an impossible position.
He's got to look through the smokescreen.
He could get demoed.
It's all sorts of horrible for him.
One mil, Synergy.
And is NIP just getting dragged into the European chaos
that has been going on over the last 24 hours?
Dorius, reset, he's got two plays committed to this!
Sierra, no nonsense!
That's exactly what you need to do sometimes, and he jumps.
Oh, late Dorius comes, great pass to Rideau.
And too slow.
And Sierra just comes and slams it right underneath the crossbar.
That's how you immediately tie a back up.
One-one apiece.
I'm gonna have to worry too much about synergy.
Settling in.
Holy, Oli's really struggled with those positions and now- Oh, it's a second block!
Jarrus played it lazy!
And laziness gets punished!
Try to know that Jarrus right here tries to catch it, oh, and he can't do that.
He's the only one he has to bring out of the way back across.
That's two just mental mistakes I feel like for NIP that cost him.
The first goal, Oli tried to pre-jump a pass and play, I believe in CRR, with
zero boost.
Obviously that didn't work out.
And then he couldn't get back to help stop the lead blocking of yours right there.
Just a mental error.
He's gonna get that back cross with speed so he can take it away.
And a dribble right from the goal.
That's never gonna work in the year 2026.
Not this little rock.
Now I gotta get another one.
Boy sending.
They are never not sending.
There's nothing to lose for a team like Synergy is.
Might be open.
Jarrus looks for AGG and a parry off the respawn.
I believe it was.
Gets rid of it.
D.A.S. Jorahs.
There's a rush for a little bit. Why the 50, but Ry's not going to give that to him.
C.R.R.U.
Oh, what a 50 that is, though.
Ry's just slowing it up a little bit, and if N.I.G.G. is going to take this one on
the challenge, why not?
They've now got rid of the danger, at least for now.
Oh my goodness.
N.I.G.
They're all right there.
They're all C.R.R.
I've got the options.
The wall, CRR, I've got the options. Oh, he's just missed it.
And that does feel to me like the best way to destroy the way NIP are playing right now.
The double-mage, Joris!
Nothing's worried about on that one, though. That was done with authority.
I mean, that's what I'm talking about right there, Joris!
I found the back wall. Ritterx didn't let me get back down to the angle.
I didn't even cross bar.
I don't know what you're about to say about it, I'm here to check you out!
That's incredible!
Just seems like that's the duo at the moment.
CRR and Jorahs.
The ones that are making it happen.
And Synergy twice.
Thinkin' that they are who?
Right.
I'm at the top of CRR.
There is now low boost.
Holy.
Come here.
Double the chance of winning the challenge.
Breeds is on pretty much nothing when it comes to boost.
They can just back with...
I don't know what you're talking about.
He's nothing dusting to it.
As C.R.I. asks for too much.
Oh, he's collected off the crossbar.
Still a chance here for Synergy.
On the breakaway.
Joris has to go early. He does well.
He has a beatable challenge right there for Joris too.
No hesitation. Sometimes he's got to put a hand up
quick, fast, and then a hurry.
Take quite an opportunity. Close the space.
That's what Joris does. And he gets a demo up off.
Trading him off. Leave. Only an A.J.G.
Takes away a little bit of penalty.
C.R.I. is up in the sky.
Oh, that's a pre-jump of it!
That is sheer disrespect.
He's not just read the book, he wrote it.
CRR makes it 3-2.
And he is dragging a lackluster NIP across the line in this game.
I mean, that's just what you love to see.
If you talked about it, NIP, you're better than them. Go take it from them.
And they're trying to do the end of this game number three.
Two incredible goals from the squadron.
Still have work to do, 30 seconds left, Senna just still has a chance.
It's getting a little bit of a handle, the top five has two, three, four goals, he's a lot for this squad.
27 seconds left, opportunities, they're going to come up, they're going to come and go and see if they can make it happen.
Right, oh what a challenge it is.
Sierra's on the respawners, only gets rid of it.
Gets rid of it a second time, Sierra just wants the 50 on this.
Joris already on his way up, he's going to win that quite comfortably.
Suddenly, NIP are back far the faster team.
But there's one final opportunity to get this.
Right, doesn't turn quick enough.
AJG's got no boost whatsoever.
The full will hit the ground.
And NIP are on matchpoint.
I mean, Ash is the quality one right there.
I guess we'll see a timeout now, but we'll see.
Shogun will let you know.
Ha ha ha!
I can see it in the game, right?
I didn't believe you cared as well.
Timeout from Synergy.
I've been called.
Well, there you go.
I can see you as well.
Timeout's in.
Ha ha ha!
I'm saying this.
All right, you're coach of synergy right now, D-Bates.
How do you put him in this position?
He's got to see.
He's got to coach you for me.
All right, what's the question?
What are you saying to synergy right now to give him a shot here?
Well, I'll say you didn't play that bad game for it right there.
I mean, yours off the back wall, and CRR pre-jump.
Those are just too great goals, I mean.
Saying I don't I mean the objectives in my estimation. I'm keep working on it
You got it keep the goals to a minimum once they start getting three once they start getting four and I open case and open game
Rockleys that would be hard open game. It's very open open give a rock league and open game a rock league
I just don't think that synergies gonna be able to compete against the squad man. So keep the game tight keep it close
Maybe you and try to take away. I mean you can't take away yours back wall goal
I mean that she's no I'm sorry, but the CRR goal. I mean it is a great play from him
But it only happens if CRO feels that comfortable and knowing that you're gonna boom that
And so you gotta be a switch it up a little bit play maybe maybe that ball lower to the ground
Just try to be a little bit unpredictable in those moments and give yourself the best chance because every single goal
It's of a premium in this set first energy. I think it might be is way more comfortable with
Simply playing a high scoring game than you are
Well, if I'm down, I'm saying, listen, we're going back to game number two, we're playing
1-0.
We're parking there after we score the first goal.
We're not leaving that.
80 Gs go, finish the 8-8s.
Game over.
I think you wouldn't argue about either.
That's the part, which...
Yeah, maybe play style.
And they can't replicate all too often, but it's something they've got to do three
times in a row, if they want any chance of taking this on guarantee in that semi-finals.
They lose this.
the game. So, you know,
you're going to have to
get this book reminder as well.
You drop down to the lower
bracket quarterfinals where the
loser of this one will take on
the winner between Man City
and KDOP Corp. So as you
looking for something to try
and look forward to later on
Alpha 54 back on your screens
for a Saturday of the RLCS
teaming Revredo sin.
My goodness. And yeah,
they've already got some
What a win every week.
Did you imagine that would be
something close to the most
up at the moment. Alfred is
first RLCS main event since
beating oxygen in 2020 for the
world championship. There's
just over the top. I'm kind of
playing defense with some
offense going on try almost
Oh
Missed you from the team there is now on the breakaway. Oh, it's so horrible. There's no right answer
Apart from seeing the ball into your nats. Yeah, I believe Dorito and three of us for real what one of one of synergy pre
Jumps you ever just went for the ball now
And they thought that that person was for a ball was going to go for
They're trying to get away and then it was an unfortunate double commit
Open up the whole entire field. AJG, Mr. Kickoff go right there. It's tough shot.
Synergy. It's a little moment like that. A little just mistakes. They gotta be clinical in this game, number five.
I'm gonna see, because it does seem like the call has come through to try and up the pace a little bit.
The NIP will not be totally opposed to one of those sorts of games, as Ry takes it back to the ball.
The lovely ball control from him, always on very little. Just tries to fake the first challenge.
challenge make like he's your first teammates.
I'm gonna end one goal to the better backboards.
HGG has to read so only again.
I like these little fake challenges right now.
I might be up in court for it.
And then only nothing fake about that challenge.
Just send the face through the ball.
Get it to your teammate.
The ball is just loose right here.
Like Ryan, you gotta be better.
Like that.
Why are you looking inside?
HGG has no moves to help you.
Anyways, get by your guy
and then we're worrying about what happens next.
He's already taken two plays ahead.
He's got to focus on the bar on top of his hut.
It's an easy cookies right there for NIP.
And he's already up 2-0.
It's not looking good already.
That's good very well.
I'll be at the end of it in a very stop-start series.
You're us.
Could have looked more comfortable.
And now he's the site of Zero Boost.
He needs help.
He needs to support everyone's on Zero for his team.
There's just cars flinging themselves out the ball.
No go school for it. So I guess that is a good result for it. Oh my goodness. I thought they're
On this backboard by the way
For about eight seconds waiting for the 100s to score
There we go a demo comes out
Just try to switch up the switch up the nip. He knows that zero that comes from where he doesn't want to move
It's a snap right open. Thank you. You better get back right. Don't let that go away
Reads up, looking for AJG. AJG likely going to the bottom corner. Well, stops. No time
to think about it anymore if you have synergy. Full send every play. Or you are going down
to that low bracket and you are right in the line between K-L-Cop and Man City. Neurus,
Kakao, Rai, just can't get it past the first play. He's been struggling with that
supply this game. They've all been struggling with it because they know they've got
gonna go and get the big wins. It's not about losing the 50s anymore. They've got to go and
win them. And MIP are playing every 50 knowing that it's not a fact.
Exactly.
Oh, they're trying to get greater with the big bump. That's what the team's gonna need.
Ah, if they did G8, they'd just beat Ole right there. It wouldn't have a potential
and opportunity burst energy, but they're gonna need a couple more demos. They're
I hope they're not gonna need that to happen. My, oh my. How was that possible? What happened here?
That's just another bad 50. It's all been bad 50s so far in this game for Zynergy.
They can't win one. They can most certainly lose one. And they lost that one big.
I'm not sure if that hurt.
Yeah, I could have lost the whole pommel to run at the moment, teammates.
Two minutes left. The Zynergy scored three goals.
I wouldn't put too many positive words towards the possibility, let's put it like that.
As long as the chains.
This is some really poor first touch from A.J.G.
Again, they get positioned.
I like this!
Oh, wait a second!
I like that!
Just send!
Just send it every time!
That's what you like to see riders go for it!
I love opening back!
That's off the sale and that's what you love to see and need.
Why don't you let me give you a little bit of hope?
That's what they're gonna need.
Now it's much more possible and they've got the kickoff plays.
They're trying to pull it off here.
So this NIP, Oli, flicks the path that you need to reach.
So has to cover a tation and looks for the skim.
Does get something on it.
Now they're back from the middle of a rise on Zero Boost to Rio's on Zero Boost.
They're all on Zero Boost.
Which means Zero chance of taking the shot.
the shot. One minute, three, so...
Oh, it's a shot!
You're kidding!
Look at the rainbow straight to zero!
I've been talking to you!
They're licking up like they used to back in the day!
Right corner!
Who's that over there? That's me, the sound of movement.
Is that your...
Oh, Chorus.
No, you're no one on your first.
You don't expect to get any of that, though.
You've got to kick off that.
Holy ceiling reset.
Try to get the ball back down one minute, one goal.
That sounds a lot better than three goals in two minutes.
AJG can't get anything from that.
And I think right now it's still about getting the force
that's wasted though from AJG.
Straight to Joris, who tries to get it back into midfield.
Thoreto gets 50.
Now, an objiezer trying to play it off the backboard.
AJG calls for it.
And they've got it out.
Hmm.
No. Oh, okay.
That's a big hit right there.
3-0 should have land clocked for his team.
There's an opportunity right there.
Harrison Lee and Park is coming along a bit late.
Doris don't get the hit though.
30 seconds left in synergy.
They're trying to just do it right off
with the pressure they can muster.
It took them 25 minutes to find the answer.
I mean, the answer is to go as fast as possible
and see if you can get another goal.
10 seconds, right.
Reset is asking a lot for himself
When it's the most dangerous AGD's Houston demo,
though, he's on the respawn, he's got zero boost.
The Rita blings it to Ry, redirects.
Ah, it's just a bit of a belly flop redirect.
And it's up to Holy to kill the series off.
NIP, move on.
It's not a bad effort from Synergy at the end.
Crawford, the clutch, you can't even score three.
No, but they can score two.
And it was two electric goals right back to back.
And that's exactly what you want to see from Synergy, but once again, it's just too many goals.
I think NIP, they're just comfortable winning the game in 3-1.
It opens up and NIP is just a better team.
And they showed you that and basically all the wins, 4 goals, lost the second game, game number 2, 1, 4.
They didn't score 3 in game number 3?
I think, they might score 3 as well.
And then they scored 3 as well in game 5.
I'm doing this off the top of my head, somebody can correct me.
Chat, let me know, but 3 is almost too many for Synergy.
Yes, NIP in a difficult-to-play-through series,
which really is slow-star against a very unorthodox proponent.
Well, nobody cares about any of that.
It's not going to get any results.
And NIP have done exactly that.
When we come back from the break,
Kami Club are playing in the lower brackets.
Okay, the proponent is fixing that burst pipe.
It should be all set.
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emergency with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
I don't believe you. Life is meaningless without affirmation, am I right?
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, motion for life.
But I can feel it
Something affecting us and we're broken
But we've been playing
Yeah, now we're dead
But we can light it up
I know that we can make it through the bottom line
But I can feel it on your inside
So there won't be more things to lie
I
I know that we can make it through the night, but I can feel the light inside, so there won't be nothing for tonight, but I do cross the line, and now it's clear to see the light behind the sun for me.
I need this, I need this, I need this, I need this
Because we know we can't change
Feeling what we lost
We'll still come back from the moment
Running out of time
But the hands of myself
Is an uphill climb
No more, no more
I see you cry
The stars in light
They make sure that we think
to
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Rocket League Championship Series. European open at number four.
I see a couple of sides and stuff there, but a little bit of celebration overall.
They couldn't get it done here.
Synergy is going to fall off the ninjas in the pajamas as they were the favorites
coming into this one. Johnny had no faith before I'm leaf and with me of Shogun
and Johnny again, Johnny, how are you feeling now after after seeing what was there?
Yeah, I'm gaining trust.
Trust is built over a long time's leaf.
So I'm not going to trust an IP just because they win one series against Synergy,
albeit for one is an impressive score line.
But yeah, they can rebuild the trust
that I previously had in them and many others
by keeping up this form that they're in.
Undefeated for the main event,
including the qualifying Swiss.
So that is good stuff for them, top four guarantee.
Shogan, first off, we're in the highlights now.
Are you hiding a cap there?
It looks like you're hiding it.
Yes, she's trying to get over here.
You better bring the cap in.
I mean, she's ready to start
to work and I came when to work
in this series. They got the job
done. Maybe not certainly the
most convincing way. I think
they'll be happy that maybe
the rest of the tournament is
not being played today. The
chance to go forward at it
tomorrow. But now we now know
exactly how that part of the
bracket looks. They asked in the
firing line of Casey should
Casey return to form for
synergy. They've got either
Man City or he took off in
the next round, but I think
the next round, but synergy.
They found the way too late, but they did quite answers.
We'll see if they maintain that tomorrow.
I mean, yeah, that's a big thing.
Johnny's talking about before, you know,
that trust is going to come over time.
And as those challenges get a little bit harder, too,
we have to say these might not have been
the biggest hurdles for them.
But overall, we feel that synergy.
I mean, like, I asked this about some other teams before.
Do we feel like in our circle, Johnny,
that this is a team we'll continue to see in these topics.
I think, yeah, Inner Circle Synergy is definitely possible. We see them in another tough fight
because they've had good results against other squads this weekend. Obviously not today,
but they've got impressive wins. Inner Circle must notably against Manchester City
and Synergy Overcarming Corp. So they're going to need to flip that if they want to get
wins tomorrow, most likely, with Man City and KC favourites to be opposing those two
teams in the quarterfinals.
That makes that K-Dope Corp.
I think are still my dark horse pick.
I think that this is kind of scripted for them.
If it could be monthly synergy, then we get vitality
against vitality.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, well, we'll have to wait for them
because we have up next our actual K-Corp.
You can see there are only two more matches,
two more bests, the sevens left to go.
The fraudsters or maybe the new upcomers, K-Dope Corp.
We'll be the last one.
Right now it's KC facing down a cloud.
down a cloud e-sport.
You know, this is one where you'd think off the bat,
you're just looking at the screen,
you just came in as we can,
you saw those roster, you'd be like, okay,
I know who's winning this.
The question is, with K-Corps performance yesterday,
do we feel that this is a chance,
Johnny and the Chogan, for Cloud e-sport
to propel themselves forward?
I think Cloud e-sport are gonna feel
a little bit scammed here because Kato,
sorry, Kato Karp, Karmicarp, the other one.
Losing in the group stage to synergy has put them in the lower bracket here lower bracket one
So you don't expect to see Carly corporate lower back around one
You think that they'd be in the upper bracket corners today. No, they're down here
They're you're facing them even though you've made it into the lower bracket top eight for which for this tiny sports team
Is it great results already?
I'd actually for the nation of Belgium is a great result because Belgium six players in the main event
I think that's the most we've ever seen in a European main event with a post-Ato
So, I think it's going to be
a great game. It's going to be
a great game. So, you know,
I saw a response compact and
I J. Waits and badness as well.
So two more Belgians and
they're making it all by you
know, Belgium making a good
case here to be in that eight
years a nation. Well, we have
to progress a fan phone up
now. It's Casey going to do
what they did with synergy
yesterday. Where are they
going to be able to overcome
this obstacle here today?
I mean, I feel like Casey on on the weekend, you just have to trust in and for cloudy sport
maybe for them, this is just a, hey, this is good experience.
Yeah.
The Rocket League history says, all right, Casey have a bad Friday and then they're
still going to win anyway.
As we've seen many a time in the past, but for Casey, they need for Tierra back
on form.
He was he was offline yesterday, more or less just did not seem to be playing well.
It was juicy.
You know, the one that everyone's questioning, how can this guy ever possibly, uh,
place trolley well you see what's their best player and by quiet distance did so
well in their victory against general mates the Chinese team that absolutely
could have eliminated them so this position is thanks to juicy nothing's
going to reward him I don't think we need to be dramatic about this one I
think we could probably just yeah it Johnny there's there's just as sugar
was just iterating on you got it's the weekend cake or yeah yeah once you
get to the best of sevens.
Once you get further into this tournament,
K-Corp do no hikes to elevate.
And yeah, these guys, they did play in the Swiss,
K-Corp, so I've been there as well,
so I very much expect this to be a 4-0, quite frankly.
But good luck to the underdogs.
It's not worked much today for the underdogs,
but maybe this will be a third time.
We are spelling doom for Cloud East Fort right now.
Maybe they can prove us differently
as we get into our next best of seven.
The blue wall is here, and it is playoff weekend.
Saturday is where they start to shine.
KC facing down cloud eSport.
We're looking to do a lot of lost five out now.
So far at two best of sevens, the underdogs have got one game.
That may change here, but it's going to be tough for cloud eSport against calming corp.
It's T base, game one is brought to us by Progressive.
It's T base, game one brought to us by Progressive.
That's exactly right, cool.
That was a lovely intro, man.
Thank you.
I'm not bad.
I'm looking forward to this.
I've been enjoying the rocket league so far.
time wanting to see if coming caught turn into the scary versions of themselves
are also looking forward to seeing listen I love that you know what I'm
looking forward to seeing tell me suppose that you bet everybody's always
talking about him I see another 4-0 in this set I'm gonna be a little
disappointed cloud gaming show me what you got I agree completely I want to
see what these guys have got we saw a little bit of it I've been a circle
earlier but they couldn't get that game we saw some of it from Synergy
but they could only get one and now it's over to Cloud Gaming's turn was you in
weights and badness see if they're able to do a little bit more so let's keep an eye
on this one I'm hoping we see a fast side I'm just going to have to start the
series quickly so okay for me there's no for opposite attack
doing so in IP last game watching and also in that few fans
They always keep the pressure, and they do it so well, and you got call me a Corp.
I think they've honestly kind of originated in advance of the modern-day pressure.
Just constantly tapping you on your back, have no boost, no space to operate,
and I expect them to do the same thing today against this Cloud Gaming squad.
So now it's going to be on down to really have to make the necessary adjustments.
Stop potting, make Bruce feel uncomfortable, take away the actual demos.
If you can do those three things, which are all really hard to do,
then you got to do a step on our floor, which is portable.
You've done something before and scored a four!
And then, you could have been in a good position and went to series.
Well, there you go. We've put that out, team mates.
It sounds completely simple. And to be fair, it's a Cloudy spot.
They have survived the first one minute and a half, but Katera, who,
as mentioned earlier, is pretty quiet yesterday.
Wanted to change that today.
Anyway, it's had to...
Well, you can try and push it to the side so far.
They seem to be able to do over pace of Carmichael.
Carmichael, we've been struggling somewhat by their very high standards,
but they found a way yesterday, face.
They found a way to knock out arguably the best opponent in the world and gentle mates to get themselves through to that day, too
That's what bring us in figuring out away. You know your best day. You still find a way shot coming from a zero right there
They're told really come from the cake or but of course
It's gonna end up with a go eventually
The ball kind of set up on the net too long
Oh, and that's when that's on his wrapped around wrapped under and did what he does
Yeah, I think J-Wave's it's more than that back right he picked up a hundred boosts
but a slightly awkward angle because he had to force it because of that he wasn't able to get hold of it
and it was never going to be missed there by Atoe
the fifth shot coming for the takin this opening two minutes of game one is finally the one that breaks the cloudy sport deadlock
and Amateur is coming through against the Fibriza, Atoe's running up, Casey look at that they're going to have some fun it's a big save by Jay Wates
but even so Casey are looking like they're finding their way into this series and enjoying themselves
All the Ato demos, their already starting their cover, comes fruition too right there.
Bruce Grant from Patsyro utilizing a new update.
I'm surprised you didn't go for another boost, it was there if you needed it, if you wanted it.
J-Waste no boost, Ato comes in quickly.
And all of a sudden KC's off as Vati wave dashed.
Popped out, Juicy waiting, free jumping, looking for a goal, not there.
But KC, the blue wall, the splatter, real tall, another attack, Ato looking for back four demos.
Doesn't end up getting one, and KC's all over on Juicy right back to Patsyro Bay!
It just understarred!
This one hit!
I've got feeling we're only seeing how this, you know,
this first gate is going to look just relentless,
can't be in compression.
Chance after chance, attack after attack,
and endless pre-jumps as well, KC,
because Vittiera, who was sort of one of the squads
that really brought that massive pre-jump,
that confident pre-jump into the world of Rocket League.
Huge, huge, huge reports from KC so far.
I feel like this is the sort of match they needed.
At best of seven, you know, they've made day one,
demo could always be awful when you're up against teams that can play any single way, you know?
Again, the 7 is a little bit more cultured, a little bit more controlled,
in case you're showing that control right now.
Another demo. We're gonna add demos to that.
To inspect everything beyond the outfit.
Well, I agree with that.
I like, we need to see a scoreboard count of demos.
And you know what? If I demo someone two minutes earlier, I want points if my team's gone.
I helped. All right, I helped.
Two minutes earlier? Two seconds?
Yeah.
Ah, I gave you two minutes.
I was involved.
Why?
I need the point!
That's alright!
You're not involved!
And I tell you who's involved, though!
You're not involved!
That's for God's sake!
That's for other points!
They said they don't need other points!
Cloud Gaming!
Right by Juicy!
I wasn't right in the badness!
Man!
Tom right corner, shot a slaughter!
And all of a sudden they're on the board!
That was the only second shot in the game, so far, I call.
Yeah, exactly, man!
I haven't had too many, but you've got to make the ones that you do get count,
and if they can keep sniping the top corner like that...
Oh, do you support two of her shots?
Do something here, but it's here.
Straight from the kick on the back of another couple of touches.
So it gets that one over.
Oh.
Right back to the two goal difference.
Last half, so far.
It'll be good.
Oh, that's just poor from batting.
That's right.
We got to do better.
Really, it just has to be better.
Yeah, you can't flip out with the ball right there.
Bring it back low.
Octi's forcing your touch.
You can 50 it if you need.
That's where you got two teammates as well.
Give the ball away right in front of the box.
He's just squad.
It's never going to be.
It's never going to be well for you.
They're just going to be standing there.
Two goals.
It's the difference yet again.
There's a kickoff play from Karmen Corp as well, you know, not blinking at all after conceding the goal, doesn't bother them in any way.
But you know, this is a team that lost yesterday, you know, to Karmen Corp and Game 5, lost to Synergy, and it's going to be Synergy that KC do make it through.
Actually, on the other side of the bracket now, it's going to be in the circle, and these two are fighting to up against, so...
We'll have to have a nightmare about Synergy again, KC, in.
They can make it through, and Game 1 is starting pretty well for them.
Sierra is right back at the school.
430 points top scoring for his team after quiet day yesterday.
Juicy, the bubble school goes well, you know,
he was the one who made turns to get them through it.
He read that from Juicy, and that's
when I honestly picked him up.
A lot of people were like, Casey, no, Jirali.
Who would have gone pick up the pick them, Juicy?
Those are questions, because if you
compare the two seasons so far,
Casey last year was more successful.
And then they end up post man of the Birmingham
I think the juiciest team has potential when it's just out of all come together. They want to win a world championship
That's what really matters
You know, it's the case of it's era. He's won majors. He's done it always. He's one of the off-season events
There's something so so different about that World Championship trophy that someone is trying to work towards but
Yeah, they have to pick up a couple of majors on the wire at least a couple of major appearances
If you're the bank of the points
Okay, so he's just trying to get to that major. So many steps on this beautiful RLCS hierarchy.
We now enjoy season on season. The sporting keeps that one high. It will be game one.
As you see, he goes for the skim all that fun.
Still going, but quite good. So still, mate.
Oh, there you go. That's what he stole.
And he's stolen it as well. He's playing.
I know you're crushing it.
He's so fast, though, when he's tucking it right away. Wow.
What the hell was that ball was in?
I got a demo two minutes earlier as well, so in my opinion give up. Oh my gosh
You know speaking of I was gonna say
Dad I can guarantee that's what's gonna get at least five demos nice game watch. I'll make sure I count them out for y'all as well
He's gonna get these five
Progressive we can put it's interactive. Let's see every time you see absolutely a demo channel
Wait to spam like one and then two and then three and then four and then five. It's an act we can get see
Nice magical five. Oh, no, I guarantee he's gonna get at least five.
Hey, it's coming in. I mean, just look at the pressure.
The first game, game number one.
K-Corp. 15 shots.
The Cloud Esports is two, and now I will say one of those shots on Cloud Esports, it was a nice play.
Was a beat out Juicy in the midfield, right in the badness and badness slot at the top right.
That's not an opportunity. We didn't see him on offense.
There was one there.
That's true.
I mean, I'm not surprised to cloudy sports. I have one chance to get in the top right. You got to love that. You got to respect that
Yeah, it was a tough. It was a tough one for cloudy sport
I think often when you see these matches and it's like, oh, this team's gonna destroy the other team
It really looks like that on the pitch, you know often they win by one or two goals a few moments of quality
Whereas that the general play was so far in calming corks fader, but then they want to see cloudy sports
It's a little bit of pressure base. It's a bit in game two. I need it
Otherwise, this series is gonna be quick, fast, and then her...
That's a... Oh!
Oh, wow! That's a... That's a one!
That's a double! That's one, baby!
And then they score for two!
I'm telling you, baseball, yo!
That's a one!
I wouldn't have said one in one second.
It's not as close as it looks to you right now.
I'm just gonna pass you a second, Sam.
You see the Jordan in blue by Vatiato.
Being able to drop that pass in Fatero,
I mean the chemistry between these two...
It's just only gross as they joined forces two years ago at this point.
And my oh my, K-Corp, off the kickoff pressure, 13 seconds in.
Atto initially got demoed, and the ball just never stopped moving.
I'm eating good in day number two.
You think it's really difficult for me to keep it on the game,
because all I'm watching right now is Atto trying to will him into day number one.
I want to see it, I want to see it.
the floor of the game too. You can't just chase him away, do you see?
Yeah, no, I do, I do, I do. Here we go, this is Vatira, down the corner.
That's us coming in there, gets a little nudge.
And Janeway's not quite enough for a demo.
Do you see? Let's block this one. In comes that!
Oh, as far as portals are the point, let's go call Vatira.
Janeway's can't even get the duck. Vatira's coming for us now.
This could be too... It is! No!
What we're saying this guy was quiet yesterday.
I mean, you weren't quiet. I mean, it is quiet there.
Some people's best name.
Oh, yeah, it's just what Matera does, a depth touch.
This slowly gets lower badness.
He probably had a feeling and inclination that this is badness
had to make that last save.
He didn't have much left in the tank.
That's correctly right there.
Went right over the top of him.
And he's just so composed with the ball,
Vati is at this stage of his career.
Just easy golf form.
Easy bucket, Casey, two up.
Get easy all over again.
Within a minute, a couple of goals.
Juicy Ways, who's supposed to roll two.
He wants to get involved on a short or a coming call.
So they can pass some stats here in this series.
The way things have gone so far, of course.
At least while they were all set up.
BOTS!
Oh!
The way the material is playing right now is a hot trick!
Oh, me, oh my!
Just throw it up to me, Ato!
I'll catch it for you, baby!
Hey!
The material's doing what he does, man!
I can sit in the cars right now.
Ato and Varty say, you see me?
Right, sir?
He might have said it in French, but you get the point.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Now, in fact, it's still the same.
Ato number two, by the way.
That's number two.
Now four minutes left to get through.
I missed that one, was there a second one?
Did you see that?
There was something kickoff.
Don't worry.
I was going to say it wasn't post-goal.
There was no stone car, but it was off kickoff.
Okay, okay.
All right, see you later.
So missed that.
I'm excited.
Don't worry.
That's who I've been to, Joe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They are there at least.
There was a unit which was that one forward.
There's a boost to your left.
From what you can get.
That's how we thought you had it.
Juicy, that's how we thought you got the psycho.
Actually, that's how I went to the side.
Played it, let them all save me.
I think Juicy had something else in mind. We saw the Psycho Gold Audio, the Psycho S630, that was a fun one.
Oh no.
I think we're gonna start seeing a few more over the months and years.
Well, looking for this on Cloud, Eastport, they're talking a lot about KC.
Cloud, Eastport, I'm just talking about how they have already somehow tied their shot score from last game.
I don't know how they've done that.
I think maybe they've done a clear of something along those sorts.
They're just gonna have to be a little quicker.
Rato gets number three.
It has to be a little quicker on defense especially and honestly about before that, Atto is weak.
They're really going to have a chance at establishing a foothold.
If not, it's just going to be all KC to rest in the way.
Well there's the cycle attempt that I was talking about. Unfortunately for Atto it was 2 or 4 on that.
And there's 4. Well it looks like it'll look easy, isn't it?
Okay, let's see how many he gets this game because 5 is looking pretty safe and then we'll say higher or lower.
get it. Get it. Oh, that'd be fun to finish it off with the aerial demo. Not quite. 3-0
still, 2 minutes left. Here we go right here. Cloudy's more of a chance, trying to generate
some off of the pressure. It's just not enough, though. They're going to have to get a bump
or something on KC. I do like that temporary different Jweets. Just to get Matty off
the ball, make them uncomfortable. Unfortunately, they end up dying somehow. I don't know
how to pull that off. And KC pressure, there's no spore, man. The ball is still
on cloudy sports app and body looking for going over for right here can you get it
no we can't do see up in the middle of our bad just never mean it that's all
great and Casey is both the horn on Juicy Leap work body coming quick pre-flip
off the post just a little bit of space I don't fall to shot it's not in either
the bunch you're gonna see a cold the pressure on Casey is all over and I'm
exhausted watching honestly I cannot a factor the level of comms right now
I don't use what I'm having to speak but none of this is natural to them you know the games that they normally play they used to
rubbing shoulders and players like this but
Top gets Carmen Corp on a day 2 EU, best of 7 you know they're playing at their best they wanted to make a statement as well Carmen Corp
They are gonna be relentless
Here comes out to get to read our own well-prepared EF by Vipers
Are you gonna see the plays from Carmine they're comfortable
Atos sitting up there and he knows Vati's got a chance to store it to me on the left hand side
Warmingford, the earlier fans that flew back to you in the dynamic duo didn't do it, what'd they do?
Zero's gonna go over this boost. I mean every time the ball goes up in the air, I'm expecting somebody from Calmingcourt ready to slam it down on a musty flink or something, fuck yeah.
So it goes for Badness as well, so Badness, even from his own goal line, can't get any respite from these Calmingcourt players, but anyway, so some of the ball has a better control, goes for the club, and then set this good play for him, so it goes at high.
It's here, it's first man back. Credit to, uh, at least for you to see why it makes it
the third man to try out, but you'll be a bit defensive.
Here we go.
Badness wise, it could have died though.
It could have died though. It could have done the boob.
It's not a boob.
Listen, you're like for style of points, Cole.
You're just looking to put one in the boob.
Like, uh, it actually looked like it kind of went for a bump on Anso right there.
Maybe you want to boob. Maybe you want to do it plus the bump.
Then you flip the load to where I want it.
Maybe, maybe that's what he wanted, that's kinda, regardless of the results still the same.
It's up again, one goal, four out here for Cloudy's border, 32 more.
I mean, speaking of two more, I believe we have 1-0, you have 5, there it is, there it is, there it was, that's 5.
No, that's 6.
Was that 6?
Yeah.
I'd like to be like a big thing of 5.
I thought 5 would have been like, I thought we had it.
I said 5, you were having a soliloquy, so I was like, yep.
Sorry, man.
It won't happen again. It won't happen again.
Sorry. Okay, so we're on the 6.
Sorry.
It's 6.
Game 2 caught the car, Michael.
So, I am going to play higher or lower in Game 3.
Because that's the big question now.
Is that the question? Don't get it.
Yeah, that's the big question. I don't want to smoke.
Can't be caught.
So you get there, there, 3-1 win.
parties will get their goal, you know.
So, I think you just got to pick the exact number.
I'm looking at you, all right.
I guess six demos of the world of accounting, um, I'll say hi, I'll say hi exact number
August 7th 7th demo so that's a little high. We'll see if you can get their check
I'll tell you this though. Call my court. They did shoot more times in this game
They did last game. I think that's shot 15 times in game or one. Well, this game. Yeah, that's right
It's always got awesome. I'm thinking that's I was gonna get one more demo. Do you know? I mean he's gonna have even more
No, it's gonna go from six to the next number.
That's good.
Yeah, we're not gonna say those numbers together.
So we're not gonna say those numbers together.
Exactly.
It's a real cause, lah.
Twitch chat definitely on.
Yeah, they're not.
They're not, and y'all can have a Twitch chat,
but I'm not gonna engage in y'all's time foolery.
Exactly, exactly.
Game three, I mean, in all seriousness, thanks.
What a crowd of people getting from this.
Is this a lot of experience?
That's about it.
You're at the moment,
they're not getting up pressure.
Which is fine though,
up against the top three top four team in the game. It's okay. I will say at this stage
you make this stage of the tournament. I know we're at top eight. None of these players
are slouches. They're all good. I do think that they can compete against the team a little
better than they have so far. And honestly the adjustment they need to make is one of
the hardest things in the game to do is avoiding the Ato sweet group with the
Later in Juicy's we do they don't do it as much but that at-toe just pressure
I mean it forces teams like energy of that level to really speed up. So I know it's hard
But if you can just give yourself a couple opportunities make honestly, can you see kind of overextend?
It'll give you a chance to be successful as Loser has to chase it all the way back down
No nonsense bang
And I just love that for him
Yeah, me too. There's something beautiful about just slamming the bull hum
You know, he's thinking, oh, I could get a 50 set double here.
I know.
I could get anything I want.
But you know what?
Get that ball in the back of the man.
One, they'll keep on going.
Exactly.
Now, listen, I have to let you get that hit.
That was a great point.
I'm tired of seeing these reset doubles.
Too many of them.
Sometimes, you've got to be classic like that.
They just slam the ball into the net.
It gets you to put it on guard.
Everybody's expecting a reset double now, at least.
Yeah.
It's the same when I play right.
I mean, everyone's expecting me to reset double.
So it's hard for me to do a reset double.
than it used to be for me to do a reset double.
Everybody.
What the heck did you just say?
No, I think you just said reset double, $14.
Yeah, I think that comes naturally to me
is the point I'm making, you know what I'm saying?
So I can probably do the medieval,
all I've probably just expected.
I see, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, I'm here to see you.
I don't know what your game tag is in game,
but we can talk about that later.
My fucking team, my fucking team,
my team gets by the defense right here in Cloudy Sport.
I will say it's done better so far in this game
And I will say to other games, they keep the game a little, never mind, the game's starting to get out of hand to get Ato,
get yet another assist, it might be his fifth assist of the series so far, somebody can start checking on that.
I'm just playing off the top of my head, I'm not like Stax, I don't have a no-pad in the game, and he's also really good at that.
We can all evolve to that, yeah, I mean Stax is the evolution of the sort of what I will say is that as far as I can tell,
Ato is currently on zero demos, which is why you should only predict with channel points, kids, because, you know, I'd be feeling annoyed right now.
I said it is not looking like me at all.
It was not like me.
I needed a two second demo, didn't I?
But we had the last game.
He had two and I was left in two.
Ah, there we go.
Back in the game, what?
There's the Grasso.
How are we going to try and keep turning the screw themselves
just constant pressure, but it's here.
I think that's one of the things as well,
that we're so used to being able to do something with the ball
when they get it.
If it's not after demoing them, it's veteerago from the Bubba Straightaway or Juicy as well, you know, they're so brutal.
Ooh, they're for themselves though.
Oh, I don't like that. You saw it, Wozen turned their way right there. You're already down by two.
And not only in the game, but in the series, I think Wozen just has to commit. He has to dive.
He has to be confident right there on that potential challenge.
Oh, no! That's a go opportunity as well. Is that J-V-T-T with that?
Yeah, you got to score that. You're coming away from the ball, you're at an angle.
You got to take it quick, but even so...
You're a pro level Rocket League player. You should be able to put that one on target. If there's a shot-pot on target there
There's no goalkeeper for it
I'm just hoping that we don't see Cloud Esports start to sink into that shell as you were getting up
It's because that would be a shame because again, I want to see these players sort of showcasing their own skills, you know
Exactly. Okay, you can't just like after just keep up a must do the three jumps and all that everything everything
That rockerly cast a offer you want to see something from Cloud Esports at the moment. That is not gonna cut it
that pop up look
I see that ranked, I'm a little disappointed.
So they're gonna be a little bit more clinical right there.
Just to be a little more confident.
Here's Ropuenshi, Waze, great first touch,
make that so I have to commit.
50-50s here, comes Wozen.
Wersens, Vance puts him right back, and here we go.
Off his opportunity, Batten is right there to potentially make a play.
The dog was there.
Execution, I said lost, but a quick save though.
Second batler.
Here's the team of chance, it's just not enough.
Cole, we're not getting the 7, give it up.
All we need is cool, it is a triple heaven.
I've been playing sporting around three times.
Crazier things have happened.
juicy takes that one to the ceiling,
can't be caught still trying to speed things up.
One of those teams that love scoring ever keep on going.
They won't hold on to a three-deal lead
if they can afford not to.
Here we go, comes in, it's a corner and again.
We see a golfing crowd, Esport.
There's plenty of time left in this one, base.
There sure is.
I'm 7-dellers.
You're right about that.
And I will say, Badness is yet again, on the receiving end of one of his teammates' path, and it goes top-right.
And I think this is where Cloudy's 14, they're finding something here.
For themselves, just a little horizontal passing please, utilizing each other.
They have a good shooter, and what appears to be their badness,
keep using that, keep trying to find a chance for that to happen.
A little less than a minute left remaining in this game,
and they could potentially score again. Anything can happen over time.
Well, the buff won't help, although it sort of works out,
because J-Way is getting someone into the center.
But Sierra can't do too much with that one.
We've got Padness and Hosean up against him.
Padness goes, but she stays on the floor.
Maybe if Chance gets pulled, so she's pulled to a crowd-esport player.
If Padness can make something from it, he wins the 50-50.
Here's last man there. He has to be done.
He's gonna have to go for something here. J-Wayne's
That's what he has in the sense of what's gonna be a beautiful ball.
Get it! It's saved by Juicy!
Couldn't get a turn around, not quite.
Oh, was that the chance?
Was that the moment they needed?
Nah, they might get another one. Once again, no.
The pressure comes off another horizontal pass.
Lateral, lateral play, utilizing one another.
They're gonna have to stop the right there.
J-Wayne's gonna have to stop and done badness.
With Rosia should be in the far, what a badness to do with a ball!
Wait, J-Wayne's back on it.
Two seconds left, they're gonna have to work.
The tier is just going to top Ato, there's a demo.
Fonsi, coast to coast.
Wozzy in there, J-Waze gets a demo.
And here we go, Badness, ball on top of his car,
pops up high, right by Ato, J-Waze in there to meet him.
Badness by him as well, Fonsi in there.
Gets a big grid, J-Waze has opportunity,
pops the tool to a high, Ato, demo's on the way.
He's falling back in, I can't see Wozzy
right by him, J-Waze, space and time.
Boos, Ato's right gonna meet up,
And it's, it's, oh, oh, just didn't want that enough.
And the dim on the back of the woe is he just took out,
took the hair out of the tack.
And Casey, they end up going up 3-0.
Yeah, fair enough about Esport, gave it a go at the end there.
Just could not get that shooting opportunity
that they were craving.
They had the chance earlier on to get another infield
pass, but it was well saved.
I think I'm juicy.
2-1, Carbinecourt.
But again, Carbinecourt.
I mean, earlier on I was a little bit critical of the Sarge ball, but as the series went on, their ability went down, you know, they got whilst it went on.
Whereas this time, Cloudy's ball seems to be getting a little better.
It do seem to be improving, so maybe there's something in there for them, maybe a closer game, and this is not throwing two goals away at the start.
Then indeed, and I do think that the off-and-back part from the FEMA start coming up, like I said, you're playing at this level, you can play.
Everybody at this level can play.
I know there's always people in chat saying,
these are the ones that look like girls,
you guys can't play.
How are they playing?
Well, chat first off,
you don't understand what your game play looks like.
And then second off,
these guys are going up against KC.
They're not gonna look as good as they normally do.
I mean, and lastly,
you just gotta be able to play your game.
And that's what CloudySpork can do.
They don't end up taking the time out,
they don't need them.
There's not much to talk about.
It's simple, we're playing KC,
we need to be able to utilize each other,
infill pass,
avoid the demos, give ourselves a chance, use it as a learning experience.
The Alps are not going to lose in the series.
Unfortunately, Casey, for whatever reason, had the handicap goal.
I don't know who gave them the extra goal at the beginning of the set.
I mean, I had to have an admin or a referee come back in here.
I don't know how Casey started off the goal at game and won goal plus.
So, for whatever reason, now, the game, listen, what's the referee got going on here?
I've got no idea.
I mean, if you're up against Casey, don't give a one-goal head start, in my opinion.
But then, maybe I'll take him a tactical timeout as well, mate.
So, what do I know?
You know, I'm not of the e-sports like you, of Cloud e-sports.
If they've got this boy in the name, they must have a thing or two about competitive game.
Alright? So don't question him.
Okay.
I'm not questioning.
That's just so unfortunate.
That's tough timing. That's tough timing.
That's so fast.
This boy was in less than a second.
I think you might have cast a curse nut.
That's a blow-barry, though.
Don't worry.
Just one, one. Go on!
There you go!
Out you are.
That's beautiful stuff ran to was it up on 50 50 on a toe back is going to
Opens it up for J weights, and then it's a perfect shot top left needed to be there
Otherwise juice is probably gonna get a hand on it
Great play right there and all of a sudden now we're tied up. This is the cloud he sport. I wanted to see
Yeah, I really like really agree. That's the first time it equalized as well
They'd be getting goes in the goal at least the goal and every single game so far this series by the lead
It's always been when they're at least two down so for the first time
God left score really makes an impact in a game able to build from an able to complete their
Turn around here in game number four making a game of calming cock would be so huge for them
But that's a mistake that one wants to get past woz. You're isn't able to do so but here up against woz
You've got this there to the rescue. So when's it cleanly?
Joe is has to get in front of a tear out does so regular material is trying and now suddenly juicy
It's being killed by my partners.
What the hell?
Somehow, what?
I thought I was actually backfired.
I love you two once a KC, but Jay Ways is there to save the day.
Yeah.
Carmichord's so good at doing what I'm gonna use my man achieves.
That's what he's talking about all the time.
They're mowing the hell.
They're so good, it's taking away the person who's last.
It helps us all up.
I really think it comes back to that flavor, right there where my team just takes away
The Cloud E-sport offered the chance, the ball then transitioned right back over to the KC half.
About 10 seconds later, KC pressure gone. They end up taking the lead.
There you go, just like that. KC begins 12 of flame here of Cloud E-sport.
Cloud E-sport able to step back up again. Second equalizer, lovely 50-finger from Ozy and Vick-Sera.
It's the first one to it and can't be called to continue to win these races to the air.
That's one of the key differences between these two teams, winning the ball cleanly.
So rarely have we seen a KC player get dusted, but...
It's close to 100, Sierra falls to Ato, falls to Wozio, and it sees a bad miss.
He goes for the slam shot, Juci-esque.
They're not quite high enough, not into those corners,
that Vitero's able to save. Adonis counter-attacks him his own.
Don't mind the idea though.
Still gets a good opportunity.
In Cloud, he's born right back on offense. Juci having to work right here.
They're here for Carmine, and this is a testament to them because you're up 3-0 in the series,
but you could expect to be here, and this is something that honestly plays a lot of great teams.
I think it plays in our team. You've got to be able to close the series. Get on off the field. Get out of it.
Don't give a team a chance, so Casey, trying to put this away right here on Utopia,
as God Esports starts playing their best game.
Juicy gets the 5% almost level woes here. Come, come, follow it through, either.
Jayways got something here, Badness 100 boost, good boost management so far for Cloudy's
spot over the last 20 seconds or so, Jayways got plenty to play with to get that clean
pinch on his own backboard.
And they were well found he's spot, and still, oh, I thought that pitch was in, but
they get away with one for now.
There's been decent defend by them for the last minute, and he's going to get some
more defend right here, good Juicy's got to take a pop shot, woes in there to
meet it.
Woes is about to pop off a Tyra nose, it doesn't get it though!
All irks out, squeaks out to the left hand side, Vati and Jayways are reaching
outside. Atto, off-bar, demo, just to take away any chance of the pressure, forces him up.
Oh, preacher!
Oh, that was a real chance though. Once J-Wace has gone up, I don't think he quiet enough boosts
and just reach above that ball and get it down as fast as goes for a shot from his own corner.
Okay, see what I expected that almost fell from, but the shot didn't quite have the height that was needed.
Jay waits, slows it down for a split second, gets 1-50 well, Juicy pushes it into the corner, two Cloudmeag players are on that goal line, but it's not!
I can't get my vatira!
Uh, J-Waze, he goes high, Ato. To the ceiling here, 20 seconds or so away from Karmenkorp,
making it through into the lower bracket quarterfinals to play in a circle.
Aren't they able to hold? Ato gets it past one. Baddest is in trouble here. Ato gets
it. Ato's it high. Into the corner, gonna pull to Juicy. This could be the series
Finish but again the shooting isn't great
Oh, sorry, teammates, I'm still going to be about just as covered that we can't hear you.
So with three seconds left, Carmine Corp are going to be able to take this one away.
It's 3-1 in the final game. Howdy Sport, they got themselves the goal in every single game.
And that I think is something they can take through into EU Open Number 5.
I'm sure they'll be back getting goals against Carmine Corp, playing OK against Carmine Corp.
It wasn't enough and Carmine Corp are looking a lot more like their previous selves after getting his demos.
See, they've identified just a huge weapon, then, but Tira.
I mean, he was playing some of his nice fucking
we've seen for a while in this first couple of games.
Juicy, he was the carry yesterday,
a little bit quieter today, but he did what was needed,
did what was enough, and that is what we can say
about Carmine Corp.
They have beaten Cloud Esports 4-0.
And next up, it's gonna be more rockin' leagues.
Stick around, everybody, we'll see you
up to these messages.
I've always wanted to say that.
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
Valets can be a big test for a young homeowner
turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
Instead of the garage is full, they go to the overflow lot.
I heard them out right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents.
But we can't protect your home and auto
when you bubble with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car
brought the wrong car.
We have the red convertible.
Ha ha ha.
I
Listen to this
Welcome back to the Rocket League Championship Series, open number four, the European region.
We are cruising through the day right now as we get before oh here, Casey doing what
Casey does.
Did anyone doubt it?
I know we didn't, but I was guessing that Cloudy's for it, was hoping that Casey would
do that either.
Welcome back.
And we've got teammates to call on the desk here.
Casey, teammates, I think, doing what they should do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Anything?
OK, yeah, honestly, that's fair.
Yeah, it was just that easy for him.
Yeah, I mean, it's just a class difference,
it's an experienced difference game plan difference as well.
Casey goes up against the squad of this caliber.
They're a good team, but they're not a great team.
We're going to see what Casey does.
And it just gets exemplified to such a degree,
constant pressure, constant demos, easy goals, just that easy.
Yeah, I think that Casey could have scored better than they
wanted to really every time they went high on the ball.
He was falling for that.
I mean, he got freaking the clock in 20 seconds, right?
Yeah, I'm still just thinking about why it
opened that big cranked up poster.
And that's what you remember, Lee.
You never remember, you don't remember, Nessie.
You know what, it's because I expect from Tierra to always do it, right?
And I think that was, it's just remnants of yesterday.
I definitely, obviously, think they're looking great right now, like that.
But I had flashbacks of yesterday.
Yeah, that was a couple of big misses from Carmen Coffin at the end.
I think Juicy got one as well on Utopia, but what are you going to do?
I know these guys are professionals, but you'll have a different opinion here.
But like, when you're finding it as easy as these guys were probably finding it,
is it possible for that sort of concentration to switch off even for a bit, you know,
at the end of a full game series.
100% and that's why I brought up during the cast.
It happens to NRG, I think a lot, especially in NNA,
where they end up going up.
They're beating the team, they're supposed to beat it.
It's just easy.
They start messing around.
The team gets one game.
They end up losing that game.
They end up losing the next game.
And all of a sudden, they got relocked back in.
I think that's why, honestly, you see NRG go to game seven
and game six so much in NNA,
because they didn't take their foot off the gas.
So it was good for Carmen Corp to finish it,
because it's tough.
It really is tough to mentally stay in.
We've got a 4-0, 4-1, and a 4-0.
Kind of again what we may have expected or should have expected.
We had some weirdness in the earlier stages
of this open number four.
But we're looking like we're getting back
to a bit of a normalcy.
We'll still see what Synergy and Inner Circle can do later.
But we do have one more best of seven to get through.
And that, of course, is Manchester City versus KDOPCourt.
Now, this series here, I have to say,
Debates I think is the one we're probably not going to get
a quick series on.
No, we sure are not.
We sure aren't.
I can guarantee that one.
That's not happening.
Alba 54, they didn't come back out of retirement.
I can't wait to see him on camera.
He didn't come back out.
I don't know if he's taking me retired.
He's just taking a break.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He didn't come back from taking a break
to get swept right here.
Man City dope.
The big trade, Tempo for Seiko.
That's the trade with GK.
They're so far looking the better of the two.
They looked pretty good yesterday in.
I honestly think they could have beaten Vitality
in that game number five.
Had a couple of opportunities slip away
Vitality took advantage.
So this series in particular, I'm very excited for it.
And it should be, like you said, Leith.
The one series of the day.
That's definitely should at least be a competitive set.
Yeah.
And I think Cole, what are you saying that too,
is the key thing is they've got,
swatting in Seiko, it felt like he's just fit in
so nicely that this is a man city
that we can probably expect to see in these situations,
in the top eights, a little bit more often,
but they definitely have to prove themselves
against teams like K-Corp or K-DocCorp
before they get to the actual K-Corp.
Hopefully, Mitza spawns the rest of his body,
because it looks like he's here.
Some hands would really help in the sports perspective.
Yeah, K-DocCorp is actually one of the teams
that I've been really looking forward to seeing today.
The fact that they come through.
I always love watching Rodosin play Rocket League.
He's just ridiculous.
Oh, you're dull that's about him. So I just want you to point it out. He's got a man's city shirt
What's up, man
That's unfortunate, but listen, I call this team vital light sounds like
We now have a face.
We've gone from half to half.
Which is progress.
So hands are still loading up everybody.
Yeah, I'm going to get the chat to load up some opinions right now.
The progressive fan vote is up.
Hashtag MCFC or hashtag KDC.
Who's going to win this one again?
I think both these teams probably got some people wanting it back.
We talk about how much we've been waiting to see KDC in this situation.
situation. It's been fun to see the squad actually look like they're feeling good yesterday. And also
the fact that Man City, we've been wanting them to do good for quite some time. They had a quite
the leg start to the season. But now with with Shaco and slotted in here, it feels like a lot
better. I think it's going to be a great series. Chat, what do you guys think? Analysts,
want to get some deeper thoughts from you right now. T-Bates Cole said this one's going
to be a close series guaranteed. And I'm with them on that how close and which way we're
We're going to be starting to lean on this was I don't tend to sit on the fence too much
But this is a true fence sit moment and then there's great stories about these teams as well
I mean like that's it. You know, they they are forced to bring in Seiko. Seiko makes it through and
You know everything just sort of works them and then for K-Drop Court, what a fun team this is as well
I think I saw a little bit more from K-Drop Court base. So I'll go there
I'd say with a slight upset, but I'm gonna go for them. What are you thinking? Sorry?
I missed you. I might actually got quiet there for a second. I can't hear what you said. Who'd you land on?
I've gone for K.D.Corp. I think it would be an upset. I think the man said he a favorites, but I'm gonna go K.D.Corp
Okay, so we're gonna log into the K.D.Corp. I feel like my heart is there
But I'm still on offense to some T-Bits. You said it's gonna be close. Which way are you leaving?
Yeah, leave. We all know you always pick the favorite. Go check out any prediction contest.
So, Leaf is gonna pick the favorite.
He doesn't pick the underdog guys.
That's why he always ends up somewhere
towards the top, because he picks the favorite
at a single time.
Congratulations, Leaf.
You're gonna end up a man sitting.
That's good for you.
But I'm not gonna pick him.
I'm gonna take him.
Hey, Dupkorn, give me VitaLite.
Cause they're gonna give me some life right here.
When you got Allboy and Radosan,
is women this season?
I don't know if we technically call it that.
I'm just gonna call it year 2023, bro.
Okay.
When you got Allboy and Radosan,
and then you had that young cat named Zen,
And I know it's been playing for a little bit.
He's not zen, but he's really talented.
I just think that this squad, the comfortable one,
another they can get the job done.
And now 54 is playing and showing everybody that trust me,
maybe you get better as age, age life on one.
And that's what he's doing.
Give me a, give me out 54.
We still, we still get this squad, actual prediction.
Does Leaf go for the double bluff?
No, no.
He's not a man City man.
No, he's, he's called it right.
I'm going to mess it up.
I don't always go with the best team.
I don't.
I definitely have teams that I back because of my heart,
but that's not what I'm going to do here.
I think that's it. I love the way that Seiko slotted in and again, I said it.
I've wanted to see this team do good for a while.
I think this is one of their best chances to get a dub in this bracket.
So I think they're going to take this here.
Chat is not with me though.
And the only way to find out is to play the game.
So let's get to our last best of seven on Saturday here in open number four.
Manchester City looking good, but so is K-Dop Corp.
The question is who is going to walk out with a dub on their shoulders?
We have got world champions all over the field for this one.
Redocin, Alpha 54, Seiko, everybody's got world championship and for those that don't,
well they're certainly trying to hunt one down.
Johnny Boy, we get his game of the war brought to you by Progressive and Alpha 54 is back
on our screens.
Yeah, just like a little A is to go off, learn direction, lay around, roll over, put
your back, and he's looking good.
It's actually one of the craziest roster moves we've ever seen in my opinion because this
team had Eugid, this exact team had Eugid and they were failing, they were flopping.
Eugid's a great player and then they just replaced him with Alpha.
What do you think would be a backwards move?
You gotta get the young Maki player, right?
Well, wrong.
Actually, you just need Alpha 54 and now you're making a run into the Blaile.
Oh, what a standout player in the series that they had against Jailmage yesterday.
So, I mean just more of that, I mean I think it's GK, sorry, wrong team, wrong place.
But speaking of GK, they're now watching this from their 3 points now only ahead of Man City Esports.
20 points to GK, 19 points to Man City, bit 3 here for Man City, but then 1 point behind GK for that World Championship 5th spot.
Wow. And yeah, it really all does come down to the Paris qualification to look that in.
There's so many teams in the running as well now with
gentlemen, he said he can't leave the door open
Harley doors here
It's been oh well. I was about to say it's good all
Get up gone, but before I can even finish percent at Seiko slept in the opening goal
He's spot it open there between reducing alpha and hit it pretty hard between the two of them
Seiko has claims maybe the MVP yesterday. He was so well played
Uh, proud.
The last majority of the games that he was in, obviously unlucky and unfortunate to not be in the other part of the bracket.
Uh, there's Synergy waiting in the next round for whoever does win this.
Backboard double.
Whoa!
They beat up Seiko as Alpha gets the way just in time.
Redoucin, look for Akra's card, didn't quite get it.
Yeah, it's a good idea though, Redoucin.
He couldn't really play the ball from where he was, but they're getting very physical in the matchup here, Mr.
But it's in the crossbar alpha didn't want to commit to early to real soon was in front of the ball looking for a bump
Yeah, they've got to get a shot on target there if they're committing to players
Couldn't do so and actually they're also the backboard somebody's gonna get off the backboard
Backboard is thoroughly defended there the ball relatively unchallenged
On the chase good 50 up good alpha and another could stop much faster
Ah, pace of this game then maybe we have seen it other times today, it takes his time back
forward, goes for the double fifth, the follow, Akra has not got the boost to take a shot
so just place for the time and does not want to overcome it, especially not this one goal
lead.
You know this match could get very aggressive, very physical, we saw tons of buffs from
Akra yesterday, we're already seeing the Dawson, putting many in, really halfway
through game one, oh 50-50 goes wide Akra again, not able to get boost, he's
It's been boostless for a while, it's been one of those games, at least one of those segments of one of those games.
Well, I'm sure you can all relate to watching about it, come on, you just have entire minutes where you can't find a boost spot.
You did get one there.
Let's take a look at it.
Look at the dangerous bit, well, I'm sorry, I'm gonna save for you guys.
Yeah, and a little bit lucky that Alfred didn't fall onto that ball to put into his own net.
And at Rado, doing well enough, now looking for the redirect doesn't quite work out, but...
Oh, my.
The bombs and demos, where's the shot? There it is! It's two nades!
Acro just guides the ball out now it's on the opposite side of field trying to hook the ball inwards
That could be awkward but
Renohsin does lay claim
Straight back down Acro always coming he stopped it back pass
It's nice you yell back pass this fight, but I don't think that was planned
Shot by Seiko he's done it again
He keeps fighting the opponent's this time of the reset
Seiko is not fired
And unfortunately, K.D.O.C.C.L.O.P. are terrified.
Can't do anything about him at the moment.
Zayku's got two of them, Akra's got four saves,
and K.D.O.C.C.L.O.P. have got a mountain to climb now,
but they've not got much time to do it.
Minster, reset.
Oh, dropped out to Redo, Sinba.
That has to be in the way of things,
it's always just about not quite enough.
K.D.O.C.L.O.P. need something.
Seiko, he is locked in right now.
The question for his season was consistency, definitely not pickability, but the consistency
is looking pretty good right now.
It seems like being benched from GK has completely motivated him and locked him in.
William Minn already locked in for the second split regardless, we'll never know, but
he's placing great broccoli right now and Manchester City are the beneficiaries.
So you come up by Alper
Stealing HP
Fantastic in pieces often what we can
City
We just couldn't quite time it. I think you don't be excited when it touch early on the research arm
I don't mind it though. That would have been outrageous.
Edgeby with the flip reset pass dropped out to say go get to the backboard.
If Edgeby had put that in, it would have been a goal this season.
It's definitely in the team play environment.
But yeah, like I said, just didn't quite think about it entirely.
That's one of those, oh my goodness, I can.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, you just think of yourself, I'm definitely there somewhere.
Good if I put it together.
regardless. A great game one for Manchester City, as Seiko puts in one goal from this.
It's punishing slow recoveries and then scores another off the ceiling. I think I called it
a reset at the moment. He actually just waited until the end of his nudge timer. It's a really
good job by him to get that far off the ceiling before using it in order to get it.
Redosis is choosing the very beat as his profile pic.
First years.
The match is set in top on, very beat in the profile pic,
so it doesn't have the IZ tag, just really confusing.
The team names Kato, I mean literally,
it's like they're trying to give everyone else a part for themselves.
Good Brian McFlock.
That's bad for them.
I think it's not going to change in any time soon.
I think the pre-sought task in this game is to beat first man's place, didn't quite find success that they might have wanted, but I do think that is going to be the key match-up throughout this series.
Can Pradozin get to Seiko in particular before the outplayers start?
Yeah, they're going to need to get to Seiko pretty soon. Seiko's played some great Rock League right now, he's starting to start, and he's hitting the ball hard as well, he's getting some clean contact, so I like what I'm seeing from him.
the ball. Um, yeah. Acro
didn't even have to do too
much off the ball in this one.
He's doing plenty yesterday.
Like I said, plenty yesterday
off the ball and HP forever.
The solid third of this team
doesn't need to do anything
flashy, but even then he nearly
nearly here goes his contender
with a little bit of health and
sake of their although likes it.
It would maybe would a bit of
it, bro. I don't know if you
want to include it again. I'm
fairly certain if you just
the game. I think he was
actually trying to paddle
like that. You know, using the
underside of the car like that.
It does give you a reset, of
course, but it also just drops
the ball. And so he's trying to
drop the ball down to Seiko,
who then is it to the backboard?
I'm sure he was expecting Seiko
to just shoot it. Maybe go for
a double tap of his own. But
yeah, maybe something for other
teams to take a take a look at
the game. But I think he was
Maybe something for other teams to take a look at or maybe something other teams are already trying is the
Flip reset drop down pass
Into backboard rebound with the player who's already in the air
Anyone could do anything can hit that if you have every team try for the next oh if they're all trying it
I've got energy quite high up here. Just I agree. I think I'm pretty gentle
I think these mod is pretty pretty killer is probably the one player
I would choose you the most likely to score that and it is in fact planned
But in Europe, maybe maybe a Zen you could say Zen scored a maybe I think it's one of those
You have to get when you're quite far up
In a game where you're sort of trying for the goofier games
But yeah, maybe said I don't know if I tell it's you're ever looking back comfortable in a series to know
It's actually go for it
Usually more back so I don't think he'd be up in front of the ball too much
Recently, but I don't know if that's necessarily going to be just sticking around for too much longer
Again quick reminder as well to everybody
Manchester City
Looking to try and get themselves over to Paris because as you mentioned
Whilst if they do when this is a little to be a one-point difference
It won't make any difference if well GK don't make it to Paris and we do get
Here's this this past tense. Look at this. Oh, man
Yeah, you just rushed it, he rushed it. I think if he just made sure to fly completely towards the ball and flipped into it from point-blank range, he'd probably score a serve.
You know this nice thing, we get slow motion, I'm looking, you know what, if you just did a flip cancel after using it, then maybe he stinks with it.
I don't get that, hey, they're not actually, well I say this, they are difficult, but they're
not as hard as they look compared to other mechanics, other advanced mechanics in that
kind of tier, reset doubles are, if you're at the level where you can flip reset, you
know, beginner flip resets, which is obviously very advanced, then reset doubles, they're
actually quite natural because if you hit the bell to the backboard of the reset,
the car. It does just pull
there. And if you just get
enough power on it, yeah,
it's gonna come back to you.
So you can definitely try that
when I'm home. Lean back
resets particularly useful.
But yeah, that's for the
drop down pass rebounds. Not
sure about that. That's going
to be pretty tough to get. So
where did you come coming on
this trade between Seiko and
I think it's a good time. It's
a good time. It's a good
chance. It's a much better
chance to go to worlds. I've
been proven completely wrong.
This but prior to this time
of start, where did you sit on
that? I think that tempo is a
good investment, and it's. I
did. It's a great player pick
up. I don't. I don't think
so bad. Thank you for GK to
go for a tall secret. They're
a good major, but you know,
in some cases, you need to
they really going for? You know, it seems like Master City and it seems like K.D.O.Corp as well fit into this category.
Are they just along for the ride, trying to make playoffs and get D-Bruns, pick up surprise money?
Or are they trying to win events? Because if you're trying to win events, I mean, GK weren't in any danger of doing that with safe land crosser.
So they clearly want to take trade in order to make that jump, and it might backfire initially, but we'll see.
Could still aint well.
They also just have something fly us out of there.
To do all the much better than they get moved on from one team to another.
Yeah, yeah.
It's to take out one of those.
Shake their ass well.
Oh!
What a touch from this! Just to get out of the way!
And it just does enough to put the ball off target.
Yeah, really nice touch there.
Necessary touch in defense.
Yeah, the really big pressure is on this matchup.
I think coming into this.
They seem to be playing pretty free this whole weekend, but they're not.
They all look like teams to me that are playing with a lot of pressure on them, which is good to see.
But you'd think KDUHR would be taking that to the extreme.
I mean, nobody is talking about them, really, after they had a bad split with UJ.
I mean, job security redosing has never been more prevalent right now.
I mean, the KDUHR job, the KDUHR salary, is that thing?
I think he's dropped to pass right now or this is this is sort of like job
back job application reduce it is watching
Stake is on the way back now, oh it's Beaver's timed it, here comes Agro, first I'm shot
What a save from reducing! Stake that on the CV, stop from addressing internet of his own net with perfect timing
and that's just it you're still looking like the more active team more dangerous team again
And it was Seiko who was putting up some great shots.
Really nice assist attempts as well.
Just waiting for his teammates to finish on it off.
It's a real skill, good work.
He could have been anywhere in that back side of the field.
I noticed it, leaves it for Alfa.
Alfa's not really had any time to put him together here.
This is all Manchester City.
Going for Alfa to play.
Red up on a hookerly break now.
It's not gonna be a new, just a puffer, but Alfa!
How on Earth did he recover?
I want to save!
Hit into his own crossfire, that was a tough one.
And he managed to get into position,
where his teammate could get the clear as well.
Absolutely incredible defense.
They get to...
from...
Job application, Redoucin' and up 54,
until the goal and the other end, Redoucin'
could have put it in though.
Top the post and save.
Still no help.
Honestly, I could not tell you how.
Mixer on the return,
And that goes for it!
They've done it!
And that looks like a change of the momentum.
It's Ryutosin, knocks it down,
Acroquo in no man's land,
Mitsur beats him comfortably to it.
There's no saving that one.
Even if you turn back to your net.
Two minutes and 16 to go,
and it's the second time, actually.
We're gonna see.
The lead against the run of play.
There's a lot of things.
That's what happened last game.
That's it.
You've got a goal against the run of play
to open the scoring.
I think it's happened again.
Backboard for no sin.
Good first time touch.
Never lacks the willingness to go first time.
I thought two players out for that.
Half is not going to the most fun moves.
Backboard, double tap, missed, faked out for Staco.
That is becoming so much more frequent right now because
you've got to respect it as a defender.
You have to pretty much just commit to the idea.
The first touch shot is going in, so when it's faked,
it's very welcome to react to.
And they haven't liked to see a first-time shot, sorry, it's from Seiko,
or at least a first-time hit to the back for it.
They are slowing down the ball a lot, though.
Acre doing the same thing here, and that runs into a dosing defense.
And HB bear the heavy touch, he's bounced off that one.
And just a bit more than he wants it over, no way.
What a bounce that was, Acre nearly puts it in.
Seiko with the double tap, will do the press to the work needed.
Seiko scores again, that's all three goals from Ant City at the hands of the nearby.
I do love that he's changed that on the way and to go for the double tap.
Knows that Alpha has got a much more likely chance of saving the first-time shot.
Go backwards, force an awkward angle, one each.
Alpha's gonna advise that. No, he realizes it's a little bit too late.
HB double. No, definitely not.
You know what they say? Alpha slams it long. Now he's ran through
and demo'd one match to see player.
They've been looking for others on the way out, but I'd say quite happy to see the game
done then.
This is not the first time they've done this, they're just looking for those soft aerial
touches.
It seems to me that KDOPCorp are the team who are more willing and more interested
in speeding up the pace of the game and going for those hard clears.
I mean, that's just the, you look at the roster for KDOPCorp and you just imagine
that.
That's pretty much the only way to make it look like.
Hey, very much of that alcohol be faster be better. Yeah, that's the first man that you want
That's the first out of dreams just send for it
Yeah, they keep back to her those things grind pitch assist
Last year's world championship. He does like to go for surprising power
And yeah, Alphas slanted well here earlier this game. You know, it seems like their intentions are clear
Oh, that was some drop time to the goal. I know nowhere
And now for the final few seconds, Mitsur takes control. He's going to get a reset on the ceiling.
No way through though. Akro blocking him. And there it does actually.
Misses. Alphic can't keep it up. It's overtime game two.
It is one save on Manchester City. Two 10 saves on K.L.Corp.
They might need an 11th. Seiko reset straight into the path of Alphabra.
Dosen looks to try and get it back into his teammates.
Done well with it. Just what's the follow going to be?
Acro has to go for the GS. Reset over there's a 1-1. That's nicely done. Now the back book!
Oh!
And Alpha again! I don't know how you saved that one. That was buried by Seiko. He slapped
in the tight angle double tap. And Alpha, he's cleared it. I mean that's a spectacular
save.
This is saved by HB, great double commit defense, I might say, but the net's open and Alpha scores.
Tag series, the closest match of the day on paper, so far is delivered.
Well, he bailed them out twice, and he deserves it in that overtime.
What a game of Rocket League. K-DropCorp, they're not the meme team, they're the team to go and cause the upset.
Manchester City won, K-Dub club won, we have got ourselves a series.
Unreal, it was all about the saves this game.
Crazy stops at both ends, the post game involves as well at both ends.
And the end of all, like I said, that standout is different, is the save differential.
11 to get up for them, just a one different match to save.
We'll see if I didn't see if they got another win over, taking one goal like defense from
on multiple occasions. And they were political. They took good chances at the other side.
Take a look at this.
I may not have seen this one. This is the only one that Alpha could do anything with.
Zero boost against the double tap against him.
Wow. That might be.
That's just the...
It's like he's just another...
It's when you see one of those films where somebody catches a bullet. That's what he just did.
I mean you just showed you what you've got to do. If you're not going to pre-jump to guess where the double's going, you have to be inside your net. You need to be behind the goal line.
That gives you a chance to just lunge across and get goal side at the last possible second. A lot of players will make a mistake of being on the goal line or even slightly off the goal line.
And it makes it save so much harder to get because at that point you're fighting a losing battle against time when the ball gets hit. Your reaction time is working against you.
Alpha. He's not lost any of that reaction yet. They said the younger players have got the faster reaction
So he's not that old. You know, even the older roughly for us. You're still pretty young
He's back
So the bridge making made it in last week
Very confirmed
Should he get through this rounds to be making champ Sunday again?
Wow never left
What a result that would be. It's the result that
Wait a second, there's Chats trying to break away!
I've seen more of the skill of those mists this week.
And Mitzer's just gone from deep there, but he felt like he had to.
Redoucin and Alfa were both recovering with zero boost.
So they've really left Mitzer on an island there, and Mitzer decided
he didn't want to play reactive defense.
Yeah, he made to look at it silly by diving in early.
That's sometimes what happens when third man gets left on a deserted island in the middle of an ocean all alone
The wiper has got the player so now can you finish the playoff while it's asking so much
Instead goes for the setup
HV's got it too and Manchester City are responding so well
Good speed there
Getting that center ball, stay cool quickly
reading the down bunts
And the defense lacking early, then all the same last game didn't save any for game 3 because we've seen two goals and no defense in that Wilder's goals are being scored.
Oh, Alphanick will end with barely any boost.
They really are a bit a lot of faith in just the one player at a time in this game.
But those things has just gone. I'm going to first match challenge everything if it doesn't work.
I'll tell you, you're going to have to try and figure that out.
The third man's yelling help, but the others are just saying you're fighting.
You're fighting, I'm going to steal their boost.
Jelling helps, sorry, we're too far away, we can't hear you right now, we're in the
blue side of the field.
Oh, that's a big mistake and the reverse almost punished it.
Smith defense, Akro taking off and reversing off the back wall to challenge.
What would have been a ceiling shot.
Yeah, the Man City squad have absolutely had the majority of the chances.
They've had the majority of the pressure in this match.
The majority of the territory as well.
Even though it's type 1-1, I think, yeah, KTK forgot the long work to do.
Obviously in this game, but just in the series in general, they are not getting as many clean looks as their opponents are.
Moving more originally from Alpha.
HB looks for the catch.
Of course the challenge not the start of legends from k.gorp
The corner Seiko looking for the follow it's reasonably dusted by it.
Demo means well this is gonna have to take it but really ruin their rotation
they couldn't quite figure out who wanted. Oh reset oh my goodness Seiko Kurtz!
Missed times. I mean the first touch was immaculate he slandered into the
back corner with the lean back reset took his time like we're talking about earlier
you've got to take your time on those let it all come to you he did that but
just couldn't fight the exact point of contact that he needed so the sequel is
he is playing some great rocket league today and all tournament long he is back
with the vengeance after being benched
That's awkward for everybody and HP is just going to turn it in.
This is all a position where you can boom it up there as the offense.
You go and do it.
Because what is the defense going to do, apart from getting bumped by Acro apparently?
Yeah, Mitsu is the only player who had boosted in the lead up to that play.
Getting bumped into his own net by the whole KDOTC squad, just a bit tied up in the same place.
Running out of momentum, running out of boosting, running out of ideas.
to stop this man city offense which is full flying in give three
those games way I wish you had this last time but we'll complain too much as
all that's really awkward for those who's done well but Manchester City
they're flowing at this point but let me let us watch they've got a class above
it's just being hand-dressed right back over great recovery from it sir just
to keep hold of the ball. Can they at least get something for momentum that alone to maybe
make us all believe? Oh, nice game. It's got everybody dancing. Yeah, really difficult
angle there. From mid-series, pretty close to pulling it off. But yeah, for me, I think,
yeah, they're just too close together. I don't even get to say it before another
goal happens from the same reason, but they're so bunched up in the same parts
of the pitch that one touch keeps taking multiple players out of the game. Just that
One, I play, I mean it's just a winning challenge.
And it's just then, there's nobody staying back,
ready to follow up on a losing interaction.
They're all just assuming that every 50 is gonna go well.
And that's not how it works in roughly 50-50s.
Over long enough, and a large enough sample size,
we're usually pretty even.
You need to hit your bets.
And that's not how we describe
the kind of court defense in this game.
I think this is one of the
people I'm supposed to like one.
They are acting as if they're
going to win all of the
challenges to them losing the
vast majority of the challenges.
It's not even going 5050.
Now we saw for the goal before
goal just outright lost it on
that one. They lost it.
It's that they're playing for
a win condition, but they don't
quite have the second and
second in the first step for that one condition just yet.
Yeah, they gotta spread out a bit more.
Obviously, this game is completely gone.
Five mil with this much time left is just too much to ask.
But in game four,
KD4 got to spread out more in defense.
They have to give more time to react
to what's coming in front of them
because they're obviously not reading each other
all that well today.
They've been getting in each other's way a little bit.
And yeah, they just keep on having to target.
After every single hit the man said you make every hit it seems to surprise them all squad nobody's prepared
For the touches they're coming to white so I think it really does come back to this beat to
To condensed on the pitch they've grown in one place a lot of the time
Number three is over and all of the other positive vibes that you would have got from winning the last one
They're out of window now
not to regroup and you've got to find some way to deal with Seiko. Seiko is just, I mean even the matches that Manchester
have lost, Seiko was the best player. His feet played really good, roughly. I mean he just looks so good on the ball and
Seiko is one of those players who's always been extremely solid when it comes to the defensive side,
I think third man, but he looks so dangerous going forward.
I mean, really impressed with what we've seen from Seiko.
It's not, it's not all as surprising because we knew that
Gikid didn't get rid of him because he's past it.
Which he's done.
They just had an opportunity at tempo.
I think they just thought, well,
this squad's not gonna win worlds.
This one's not gonna win majors.
So we've got to change something.
Yeah, they, there's something they changed.
She's now used that as motivation to go and prove them wrong.
And yeah, they are really GKR getting through to the front right now, because they're playing great, so fast, every clutch.
And yeah, if you may have guessed, Kader for a full timer, unsurprising after a 5-0 defeat.
Definitely not. I don't think most people want to give the team talks whilst you are actively losing at the time.
So a good opportunity to just talk things through.
Yeah, he's giving me his opinions.
I think something he doesn't like.
Very animated, which I would...
Imagine it could be one of two things.
It could be a combination of two things, maybe,
but a frustration, possibly.
Or maybe he thinks he's got the solution,
and, you know, trying to explain it as good as he can.
Yeah, they've got to give each other more space,
really.
Taking space from the opposition, of course,
is a big part of success in
Rocket League at all levels, especially pro level.
Like giving space to your teammates can sometimes be equally important and
for me, that's what I'm not seeing from KDLKARP
in the games that they've lost.
Even in the game that they've won, they're still looking awkward at defensive times.
We'll see if they can make the necessary adjustments.
We'll let you be enough with Seiko and Natsuki playing as well as they are.
We're into that politics moment now where you are gaining
you know, two points for each round that you get past.
But it's very important for Manchester City, because as we've mentioned, you know,
Jammate's already eliminated, GK eliminated.
If K-Lubcorp do win this, it throws the top five spots for Paris for an absolute loop.
You'd probably say, oh yeah, KC, NIP Vitality looking comfortable.
But then it's just pure pandemonium with the other two spots,
like inner circle synergy. K-Lubcorp, you've got to imagine GK. Oh, I missed you so much.
Oh, Ratholson with the open net miss, and it was off of a huge miss. And again, the chance.
This time it's been through by Midser, but two glorious opportunities early for K-Lubcorp.
Ratholson actually did a pretty good job there to find the gap to pass the ball mid
under the defender in the back wall. But yeah, should have been one goal of better than that,
shall get Redosis. God, debate on the post this seems.
And Alpha 54 just got a wave of nostalgia. That felt like a home to Alpha.
No, it's probably the own goal. You see, he's probably defending this even more carefully now,
you think you don't know. If this is what Redosis is going to be doing, I need to
watch out for the own goal, as well as Seiko. And here he comes. Little drop down there
there for Macro's sake, go like that.
Huge dive in, Mr. just fakes outgun for the first time challenge. Alpha, we would love
to have got the ceiling instead, hasn't played that one down.
Should be a bit under the ball, ceiling reset, takes the first flight, Ritosa reacts. And
now he's got a bit of an opportunity to try and break away, HB just pops the ball
up high, puts it somewhere safe and Manchester City will regroup.
That's a great try by HB, seeing the defence up high, looking to cover the backboard
and he just jumps off and see like to shoot to after them.
Die bomb saved by Redoze and kept to out.
Really good job by entry to fight the shot on target from that angle.
And Akra looking out field, he doesn't get a skimmy as long as he can for a sake.
He's gonna bring it something on this.
And nothing good, it's Redoze and Tixic clear.
Very very well, we can see the one.
And Alcord obviously a bit easier after you just lost 5-0.
But you're changing your 3-1 down
and we have to complain on occasion how that is a little bit too late.
Yeah, I hope I build time later. I don't have to fight until I do like that.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Maybe if that's a game one.
So, catchment commit, sir. This is enough to force someone to up to respect his aerial threat.
We'll keep taking their time in this position for eventually committing.
HB outlet pass option, pass off by Alvin.
Big support on set, going on target.
Well, I've had to be careful just in case Redoucin does keep out.
Accra, reset double!
Oh my goodness, what shot to tie the game.
That is unbelievable.
Just taking as far as possible.
Redoucin got the backboard covered.
But guess what?
He's not got enough of it.
You're going to cover over there, mate.
I'll make the backboard even bigger!
What a finish as well!
And he drilled it!
Far down it is!
I feel like we've been talking about reset doubles a lot today, but...
That was the best of the bunch.
And I would be surprised if it's not a LA reel tomorrow.
I forget to go.
K.D.Carp has got a long spin.
If we're gonna see Vitality against Vitality, then...
Yeah, they're gonna need to step out.
I'd say they don't look like they're interested in Slendice.
It'd be looking for Seiko who does not take the bait.
Certainly a lot of fake challenges coming through from Manchester City.
Happy to show their face then, turn around and run back to the back corner boost.
It's only an effect challenge here. Seiko back there.
Ah! Not one that they're happy with though!
and Cruz asked a lot of himself, Alpha needed to try and power that pass too and couldn't quite do it.
Yeah, that back pass did not look as well advised in that time by Seiko.
Even if you didn't come in, it just still puts it in an awkward spot for the start man to deal with.
So here come the Vitality Retirement home again.
Who let Midsurin? Is he just a play-solder? Or another former Vitality player?
We'll have to wait and see. I don't think so. I think he's...
He can overall pretty good in this squad. They look like they gel pretty well together when the game plan works.
They are giving each other much more space than the pinch in this game, which I do like.
I have to give them credit for that. It's easy to criticize when we're the ones watching.
Oh, backwards open. Saker's up for it.
Double-Z, and this man is just on a different level today.
2-1, Manchester City have struck again.
Man, it just looks so smooth.
He knew exactly what he wanted.
The moment he saw Redosin have the ball,
swiped the food off his plate,
put the ball off the backboard.
And that is the problem area right now for K-Lapcourt,
because even going back to the incredible save
that Alpha got a couple of games ago,
that backboard is open.
Yeah, it's just quick as well.
Take a look.
Once more, he is just clinical.
Red Dawson doesn't have the boost to get back to his double attempt to Alfon might be able to pick up where he left off
50s pass one, but not pass two, Mitzer back into the middle acro quickly
Walter is spotted. I think that might just be the biggest difference for me is that those kind of awkward
lofted
lobs into the middle of the
paid off prop end of the pitch
Seemed to be causing the defense issues. Whenever it's a man says that no problem and no problem again
Just get the ball to Seiko. He'll do the rest. This three-one.
And Seiko's been up to the MVP performance.
This might be the laziest rearrangement.
Heh heh, this is the key.
Just Akraus put it on. Time for him, Seiko.
Doesn't need to use the flip. Just use up that. Turn the ball in.
Great amount of retchiness.
Sit back and enjoy the show more or less when it comes to the offense.
These guys do that role as well.
He's had the effect. The type of player to try to force himself in to the game unnecessarily.
When you've got Seiko playing a series like he is, when you've got Akro playing a game like this,
when you know it's Seiko's the series that might be so far. Akro for me, the game that might be that past the same note.
Absolutely perfect for the third goal.
And they are not letting K.Dark through. The timeout is a thing of the past.
And now Game 3 is a thing of the past as well.
Okay, of course, I escaped 3-4, Manchester City, though, as they go triple that fight.
And they've got Synergy well within their sights.
They know what the gauntlet is. K-O called into Synergy, into team vitality.
More importantly, they get themselves on order point 6.
Rush away, the potential piss-hatch that might happen on their road to try and get to Paris.
I'm going to do it.
Okay, of course.
It's a champion.
And more importantly, they need to find...
That's what we have just in the...
Oh, I'm gonna...
They need to find a way... I was gonna say a final way
of keeping Seiko alive, but Seiko didn't have
to pop off this game.
He just had to finish the job.
Yeah, I could hold my pace.
I mean, it takes over.
It just slam it in every set, double.
And then Seiko, with a double top of his own,
for the second goal.
I'm sorry, the third goal wasn't that point.
It was just great stuff for them.
Or was it the second goal? Yeah, it was the second goal.
Third goal was the redirect, wasn't it?
Either way, Masterset here, they're forcing goals.
It's not feasible for KDOTC to just wait
around for this series to, you know,
to change this course.
They've got to go and do something about this.
Because sometimes you're playing against a team
who are not playing all that well
that well and you think yeah I think we just keep doing we're doing we're gonna win this
let's just stop the unnecessary mistakes we're gonna be fine that's in the case right now
they don't have to be telling themselves yeah we've got an element they they're playing better
than we are we've got to you know start popping off in offense or we've gone to start challenge
then more effectively these guys they're scoring some good points maybe this is the map to do it
get breathing the air get on court look towards what you've won you want that spot in Paris
This is the way to start doing it.
I'm up for a dosing to now get into scrappy.
It's a very early of a pre-jump, still not early enough.
Half of the long end.
Backflow's got to just scamper on back from that corner.
It's going to stay.
It's going actually.
I'll just keep on with the boost.
So, just get something this time around.
Not the best first touch though.
It's about just maintaining it right now.
They've had brief moments, brief moments when they got them that way.
How do they maintain it for five minutes?
It seems like the Men's City squad has settled very much into this one.
They have been for a while.
The experience of Seiko is so valuable in high profile series like this one.
Previously, Edgeby, Acro, Tempo all playing together.
You know players in black experience got remorse swept in a high-profile scenario of Copenhagen
Now with Seiko on board, I mean it just brings so much
To these teams. We've seen it in the past Seiko is so successful in so many different rosters
This is just another one that he can add to the long list of the growing list
Can
eat up or
Create anything. It's pretty uninspiring so far in game 5, but
Seiko be said of both things
They can go generate HP.
Challenge, so let's realise the show is on the way.
That's very heavy though.
Bomb.
Give some time, but...
Magic city.
Two chances to take a look in.
Alpha, feeling, reset, got the 50.
Next up, it is Radocin!
Double commit, but it's still very difficult to create any control man.
That's a pass, it's a little bit too close to the goalkeepers.
Oh, that's still a commit as Man City starts to dive in back forward.
Entry here covers well though, but really does good job to stay with that one.
Pre-jumped something different, still got up and made it to goal side of the ball.
Half the game gone, Alpha trying to double it middle, can't get it.
Fast and far challenge.
It's just a wave of Man City challenges as Entry scores to make another goal line save.
you can't handle them for now.
Can't wait to see.
Yes, and no one is kind of between Alpha and Vitzer there.
Yeah, and that was the best spell that we've seen
get up to go on half this entire series.
So many offense.
And just throwing away the hand warmup with a double 10-0,
though this fucking could go for the player!
And it's in!
OK.
Alpha 54 spots in targets.
Yeah, it's very careless.
Rematch feed just gets hard, hard dunked on
and leaves Akra alone in the goal area.
Getso played by Althus before, but really, Edgeby's going to better there.
He lost control of that one.
If he's opting for a low 50, then you definitely want to get him on board of that.
And Althus, which we're all just happy for the send.
Stealing, mid-suck.
Just get up blocked and quite get too much on it.
So two minutes left.
First time shot from Redosin.
I'm assuming he did not have a passing option nearby.
This has been all kid of copper in this game. We've not really been out of the blue cyberfields
I like that defense service because the resets misdirection then gets the boost deal inside
and this is completely starred. Manchester City you barely have any boost between them
there's the respawn of the back quarter for Seiko first with the new update much easier to
type those, especially more pros. They already have that goal lead, of course, so they're
not going to push too hard for another one. Much better game for them overall. One mistake
for Edgeby, still surprising to me, but one skate over for a political response.
Now chance to breakaway Akro, with the flick, again they've been dunked.
So a little bit careless at times here, and they've got the follow up shot, that's not
going to be much of anything.
Chance to breakaway, actually Akro's the passing option.
Just so well to spot it.
First defensive opportunity here, four mangers to city, and they've got to back away
from it.
That demo, the lack of boost.
That's it, just back down for now.
but now is what they call a blood and interception from him.
Oh!
Mr. Waze dash on the recovery after getting buffed into the air, nearly got the shot past
the goalie.
It wasn't good stuff by Mids.
He took a 20 seconds.
Now it's a final equalizer.
HB trying to get it through.
He actually does.
But Mids is on the back wall covering and it's Aco waiting at that far side.
Bounces at middle.
Can he get back to it fairly?
But so far.
So good.
so good. Bargade out guard for Thowson to the clear.
Espey's got good boost, infield to Akro.
It's a little bit too high, it's a little bit too wide,
but they kept them all alive.
You're playing for me, what's the fun opportunity?
Espey, on the wall, Akro's infielding,
making games where he's going to have to call his contact.
And the ball is down.
And K-Lock-Corp, with a deserved game win,
to send us to New Tokyo.
Very interesting game there, as we
We didn't see the usual Manchester City pressure.
We didn't see that high defensive line that they've been employing.
And we also saw a mistake from Manchester City.
Edgeby just getting hard done, so I'm leading to Alfa's 1v1 play against Zachro.
So an unusual game compared to the rest of the series.
The credit to get on part of that point.
They're the cleanest game that they've had.
Probably an Ivy Gull series where they just were the team in offense before it.
and alpha makes the solo play the rest of the team just have a clean game very
interesting say I didn't I don't think we're gonna get one of these I thought if
they're gonna need to elevate whereas really it just kind of did
it's what you're doing what they were doing it that's it had a bit of a fight one
you just couldn't get there inside of the build
that's the majority of it and I think a lot of times when Manchester City can get hold of all
they are instantly locking in on outlight I think just a couple of 15s
In those positions, you know, make K-O-Corp think something else because we saw from the goalie conceded.
I think the decision-making is quite easy now for K-O-Corp.
Go high on every challenge because they're going to try and outplay you. That's where the ball is likely to go.
Yeah, can't be a risky game though, if you do that all the time.
You go and like find the balance, yeah, you go high on challenges.
But then you stop doing it precisely when you think the other team's going to notice that's what you're doing.
I'm just gonna be out of time to take that.
Let's see, if Hiddepark can just get one more game, they've been pretty outplayed over the course of this series,
but they've won a couple of close games and now it is equal to series yet, so they just need that one more,
and then the pressure is on that city.
Very interesting how quickly it could turn right.
Very awkward! It's driven the awkwardness off the crossbar!
Oh, Dick Rikimani! That could have been more of a givey!
I thought it was guaranteed to be it. It was perfectly bouncing downwards.
But maybe if it's too fast, it's alpha gonna get on the end of it.
Crazy, but that's it. You've got a bit lucky there.
Should be really a one goalie already. We're getting up on it.
Ganku can not let this drop, though. This is the continuation
of game number five. They had the fast majority of the offense.
They've started this one out with the fast majority of the offense, but if long goes against them, you can just see the entire house of cards coming down.
Pac-Row just tries to fake-take your first time with those who's on the chase, fakes the first challenge, now gets the block against Seiko.
Seiko still got it, producing, trying to get in the way, it's still not good enough.
Let's get jumped out, you gotta be really careful, challenging someone like Seiko near a wall, sneaky with his recoveries,
Oh, mid-serne over the drop-time. That's the second time this game.
Evolved with probably the straight-downs, inches away from the goal-life.
Oh, well, Akrasov for this. Guess he had to play the last defender.
Edge people off to the shot-down. Saku doesn't have a full boost.
Tank available.
Let's see. Seem like they're stretching themselves a bit more to keep these attacks going.
Earlier it was more free-boi-ing than this. It seemed to just have a natural follow-up every time.
And of course, making them work for it now.
It was a case of when does the mistake happen in defense.
Manchester City didn't know for it.
The most few hearts.
He sends everybody for it.
Primus in.
We have switched sides of the field.
Manchester City to lock it down.
That's just right in the half of it.
So, one knee down.
No, I'm not entirely sure.
That was the right decision.
We can see the boost totals at Alba Hat.
I think he tried to put it right on Alphar, maybe a touch in front of him, but
he missed hitting them all behind him, which obviously isn't easy to play
when you're trying to follow up.
And now, I have to get to go. It's another close one.
They win, Corkade up Corkade, Pap got me close game.
That's it, you have to be so careful here. They cannot cave.
Getting up for another goal with the defensive mistake like they did in the last game.
Watch where they're skipping this position.
It's a booming clear. Can anyone get to it?
It's a holdout.
Three spawn just inside for Akra to steal it.
Redo's in. Fakes the first one.
He's been doing that awful lot. Flicks him to the top of Akra.
Walk, quick catch to get, but Akra has just completely taken the sizzle out of that play.
Oh, good.
Rotations in defense from Manchester City covering those shots.
Absolutely banging clear for Seiko.
The vinsher can't match it as he tries his own half ball,
he'll probably out the wall, but he's still able to follow up.
Yeah, another time.
That'll do some good work for Gig apart.
They're layering the challenge in the corner.
Oh, Edgeby was awkward.
He's completely lost in the goal line.
The vinsher scores.
All of a sudden, it's Edgeby again,
who just can't find the right position defensively.
He's too far forward initially, he's too far front as a way on the second one, 1-0 and
Champions Field is moving on the horizon. If Manchester City cannot find something in
the next 1 minute and 20 seconds.
I can't believe that HB is usually that solid player you can rely on who's just going
to even clutch the season as well for them. But twice now, two games in a row, the
The last thing he gets hard dunked on, when there's no need for it, and now he's just sideways off the goal line.
If he was in the net there, that's the easiest challenge of all time, and it's the most natural clear.
No problem at all, but it was awkward because he's too far advanced, like you said.
He's sideways, and if he can't, he can't even advance on it.
And now, again, they're trailing by one, scoreless in the final minute.
And a nice spot though. HV against Alpha.
He's going to bottom that angle.
This is very low. Alpha's very low.
The thing is, so is the time.
And it's time that Manchester City do not have much off any more.
That backcourt covered as it always has been from K-O-Corp.
Akro, good enough for the first challenge.
He's going to need more than that.
He's definitely got more than that,
but Alpha 54 will slow play this,
looking for the final few seconds.
They get 50 fallout by Radosan, he's all over this wall, they can't get him off of it.
Now they finally will, but Alfa's taking the boost away in the far post before the counter
attack can even start.
High challenges, far out the pitch coming from Kedavkarp for Radosan.
Blocking high, Seiko gets it past him, Alfa's deflected into the corner, who's up for
it?
It's HV and that crew, that's not the synergy they need, and it might just be
another one for Kedavkarp after Mitzer's done.
It's up. Looking to try and play the ball down. Seiko pops it up.
In comes Red Dose. It powers it long.
And HV is going to go the entire length of the field.
He's got Seiko in support.
Going to drop straight down.
One, champions field. Here we come.
This is crazy. How is this happened?
Time out Manchester City. No surprise there.
But what is going on? We have to time out.
for K.DotCorp. After game 3 which they lost 5 nil, they then proceeded to lose again in
a pretty routine win for Man City. And then as soon as Man City get onto match point,
they forget how to score a goal. And they make precisely one defensive blunder per game
to lose 1 nil. I mean, I don't want to just, it feels bad right now, I just want to play
there. But yeah, HB got hard dunked on last game. He was a traffic cone on that last
that's not what you expect from a city so you expect from the consistency that
they've shown throughout the season. This is the golden opportunity for Manchester
City season. Get to Paris and you're more or less a lot to get to Worlds. All of
the main contenders are already eliminated and instead of escaping the
pack. They might get dragged into it here and the pack is getting bigger and bigger. Yes,
we are confident in vitality in NIP even in KC who are still in this last part of the bracket.
But for GK, for Manchester City, for Gentlemates, they're getting dragged into fights with
Cloud Esports in a circle, Synergy and K-Hop Corp who all might be chasing for the
the fourth and fifth spots and that could all come down to what happens in the next five minutes or what is Rado doing?
What is going on? The series doesn't make sense. I never thought this would go out on.
What is happening? What is happening? I don't know what's going on. I mean, the series doesn't make sense.
I know it also looks like he's actually trolling. He's already wearing a man's t-shirt
Just to confuse us
Asked him about that in the pregame lobby said he likes one of their players doesn't like the rest of them though
I think he's talking about the football team, but okay. I did see put something else there about your predictions or something like that
I couldn't quite tell if it was good predictions or bad ones they mentioned to you
With reducing you never know but this guy is a menace on and off the pitch
She's a former world champion for a reason. He thrives in chaos and we're in the midst of it now.
Game seven. Turning the light to the light.
We're waiting all day for this. Three series in a row. That looks also one-time!
It's Redouston! Core into action.
Not going to look back too many more times.
Akro placed in the corner. Oh, Alpha doesn't get anything on him.
I mean, it's already on the light.
Yeah, Alpha got close enough to it that I don't think they expected the mist to come through.
Radosa's got an option to land. Akro's backbassed it.
I don't think that was intentional when he jumped, but no, the front pass from entry.
Mid pass from Akro!
And save those blocks with the shot attempt.
And Edgewood would be so happy to redosen that zero boost, because that could have been a breakaway goal.
That corner.
Great style of Magic City. Bar, no goals.
Smith up. Got the player.
One's to blow. Where is that going to drop down to?
Alpha's a number two far forward. This bit takes the outplay.
Ground is down. Number two high. Radosa's just going to turn slow it up.
Yeah, Rydosin, trying to blend into the ball here.
Oh, that's a great kick.
My mixer wasn't ready for it.
Rydosin absolutely slapped.
That accru is prepared.
And that's the end of that set from Alfa.
Tonight is the reset.
HB takes over.
Can he get back to this?
Barely.
But it's deflected clear.
Then we're going to give the greatest hits in the series.
All in one game.
Alfa, 54.
Oh, mix up!
What?
Oh, it's absolutely the end.
How has that gone in from Seiko?
He just, he put a quick, he took a nice action and a flip misser.
That's flipped by mistake.
Well it's right to fly off the wall and there is no recovery from that one.
One nail at Manchester City, but not from the road there.
Last reason why you see the random shots, they come through one in ten thousand times.
Oh dearie maze, it really could have been like that.
about three and a half minutes to try and right that wrong.
And Midsar's gonna get his own head
and give himself back on the field.
They've got a job to do.
Redoucin, does he have to offer his book?
He's taking the book so far from it.
Ah!
Redoucin's in the heads.
Big time in the air dribble.
Everybody said Gideon's gonna go up with it.
They double commit to blocking last second.
And Redoucin does enough.
It stays in the ditch area.
Mitsu with the equalizer, that's going to be great for his confidence.
Back to where we started.
What each? Here comes Mitsu.
Gonna go low.
Almost might as well just fling that ball over the top.
Those fifties have been the tail between these two teams.
Seiko, looking for Edgeby.
He's got a player!
I think Edgeby just took a little bit too long
to figure out how that play was going to work out.
Didn't want to commit to it.
Reducing huge dunk from him.
Seiko's just going to play safe.
I like the defense from Mitsu in that play as well.
as well though he dives in for the double commit knowing his teammates getting bumped didn't arrive
second too late not even a split second too late now they're pushed back again but mitzer you know
after that defensive mistake he's locked in you score the equalizer he's defending everything that
man said he threw at him what a series this has turned out to be it's been unpredictable from the
get go and uh it's redolcing in my opinion who's been the star so the last half of it oh it's
It's off the post, there isn't any air there, he's getting threatened by a bump, but he's actually getting boxed.
Black shot did not go in.
Maybe it was the call from Bradosin and from Althuss, I had the last time I won a tournament.
My teammate made a big whoopsy, scored an own goal, maybe you go and do one.
You can have the exact same result, just popping off after the fact.
Here he is yet again, off the ceiling.
Now can he get it past Acro? No Acro does well enough.
Seiko leaves it for Akra, goes back corner.
Very difficult to create too much.
Mitse just has to respect the possibility of the first punch shot,
because she doesn't have time.
And for a bit of time, we got a big boom.
Yeah, it was another good play for Mitse there.
He's regained immediately.
An underrated skill is just being able to shrug off a mistake,
and it was one of the worst mistakes you've seen this season for Mitse.
Oh my slot!
Don't tell me you're talking about that one.
Akra is going by Benz.
and it's off of HB's pass.
Fake the double on target.
Finds a mid pass instead.
You wanted to talk about players,
that needed a regain.
HB, oh no way with that one.
It was almost like a no look,
just I'm gonna put it over there.
I know my teammate's got my back.
Here comes Alpha, one minute 30 on the clock.
Mid stuff, passing option if needed.
Alpha trying to take over himself.
He's got bumps, he's got options.
It's not really too many options
position like that one though as it pops out Redo since very awkwardly positioned
and the last thing that KDK could meet is another goal as they push two half-buff
forwards. Yes, Edgeby just like Mets here you know you look so calm despite
earlier mistakes obviously they're different games after a timeout so he's
a longer regain time but they're both doing a good job here just forgetting
about what no longer matters all it matters is the remaining minute KDK
need one goal. That is not going to get it. With Mitzer sitting in a grass cutter,
bouncing on target slowly. 50 seconds to go, Seiko's got the ball and he's got plenty
of boost to work with it. He's for straight to get up here.
All an opportunity and if Alpha left that, Mitzer was in a much better position to take it.
Now he does. It's a bump for his troubles.
Manchester City doing a great job of just finding the spots and the rotation.
Thank you, I'm not currently happening and to be really cool for it
something does
20 seconds, it's up up in the ball. That's not gonna do too much
Yeah, we're really out time here Johnny. Oh my goodness
Seiko with the huge scoop off the reset
Alpha able to react to it never does this upfield by a few seconds getting 50 at middle
Yes, he can act was actually tripped up the ball
Take it away from his teammate, but I'm fine a few seconds. They can't get into the air or can they?
He gets it out there.
They have to demo on the goalkeeper, but that was the last chance they'll get.
Manchester City survive.
They will move on to the next round to take on Synergy.
And for Caleb Caw, well, they are eliminated.
Wow.
That was a really weird series, but it was close like we expected.
Manchester City prevail, and then Caleb, they just took too long to get going.
in this one, it was like 3-1 before they really started playing like they expected them to.
But still credit to Edgeby.
He had some big defensive mistakes in both games 5 and 6 that you're going to definitely contribute heavily to his team.
Needing 7 games to win this series.
But he was the same guy, he's the guy who made the winning goal happen.
It was a good slot by Akra to score it, but it was Edby's double tap.
Little bit of a half poly grind pinch sort of mid pass.
Really impressive stuff.
He absolutely looked, it looked super calm in that game set.
Just pure excitement from one end of the field to the other.
That's how it started.
I thought that could be it instead.
They had the fight back and came up close.
down one region of one alpha 54 looking forward to seeing more of them as the
season progresses but today belongs to Manchester City.
Time to talk about it. Let's hand you back to the desk.
Well, well, well.
I'm just telling up predictions here.
Okay, cool. I like it.
Now, we knew it would be a close series though. We knew that was really good.
I mean, we said if there's one to go to game seven, it's going to be this one here.
But I like to see it again. I want to see this this team man city
Push on through to newer heights and we got to see that they're cool
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was gonna be more simple than it was in the end man city took a bit of a lead
But it's never they're gonna be that easy against a team like this and you know credit to K.coq for their performance in this tournament
Entirely they they looked wonderful, but couldn't quite couldn't quite do it in the end
Yeah, I mean overall
What do we think in here, I guess,
debates and in terms of Man City going forward?
Like, did we see it convincing enough play
that this is a team that's gonna,
is that a Grand Finals team?
Is this a top 14?
Like, where are we gonna see them kind of end up?
The rest is back to here.
I mean, they can make it all the way to the Grand Finals.
They got a big synergy coming up next.
And then after that,
they get a rematch against Vitality.
Ooh, I talked about it earlier.
Wait, at the end of the day,
they could have beat Vitality Friday.
So they definitely can make it all the way
grand finals and they played a really good team in K-DOT Corp two former world champions or two world
championships I call them and then um and then you got uh mitzer well I like to call it mozart and uh
I love that yeah I'm on the side of of change his name today if we can if we can well that's just a
nickname it's a nickname but yeah but um yeah they definitely could go all the way they're quality
squad yeah I mean it's true cool uh he just brought up the fact you know they went to a
game five was overtime yeah against Vitality before that's a team that the good crews threw
uh the the rest of the bracket here so i'm i'm like overseeing or do you think maybe i mean
we've seen it before when a new player joins a roster that eventually there's that honeymoon phase
that falls apart but seiko's probably not that kind of dad of the full parlayer i mean he's he's
pretty experienced now do you know i mean so i remember him back on his endpoint days and he
was brand new he was exciting he was uh doing very exciting he was he was so great when he
joined his endpoint i love uh sort of seeing him play and now he's the more experienced head and
It seemed that his career was starting to fade away, but you know, you say that these honeyloons could disappear lead, but maybe he needed a new honeymoon, you know, things somehow ended with GK.
I mean, he was getting on somehow.
I don't think it was all his fault, you know, especially not as everyone pretty much agrees on the line. He was really good online. He was poor, you know, for one reason or another, but he's not been poor so far based online with Man City.
and I think the trade has been great for their team in particular.
Now, GK, I don't think they played that bad.
You would say both, but of course they're not here today.
You've got to be able to finish off the series, especially when you play a team that someone say arm is good as you.
Like a man.
No, I was just going to bring a conversation on the other side.
We were watching a bunch of incredible saves coming out from K-DOP Corp as well.
I mean, I expect to see them probably getting in the top eight.
They're dangerous.
They're real dangerous.
They're real dangerous because they're, like I said,
they're two world champions and they got a young cat who found a lot of mixers who,
about two years ago at this point, was on BDS or a year ago,
was on the new look, yeah, one year ago, was on the new look BDS, looking good.
And they're like, okay, he's gonna come up, he's gonna make something,
he's gonna make something, something shake.
It hasn't yet happened.
But this team in particular with how good the EU is,
I know this day was a little bit quick from a lot of people.
But, I mean, EU's really got a good 18 or something.
Yeah, I mean, again, overall, we knew it'd be a good series and it was, but only one
team could ultimately walk away the victor.
And at the end of the day, that was man of city.
And I talk about their journey so far.
Esbis joining us.
Congratulations on the win.
That's got to feel, that's got to be a good one for you guys.
Yeah, it's a pretty good one.
It's a pretty good one.
I got to look all the way back to the beginning of just this weekend.
You know, you guys bring on on Seiko and it's been phenomenal.
I'm sure you guys are pretty happy right now.
Look at your your games coming into this vitality.
You know, you're going into that that game five.
I don't quite get it here.
You must still be feeling good about your play overall on
how Seiko's fitting into it because ultimately every series
you guys are playing you've looked great.
Yeah, I mean, Seiko's been really nice to play with.
Um, great teammate, great person.
Um, obviously losing to vitality was top 10 sad moments of all time.
But, um, I mean, beating mates and beating CRP in those and now
K-Drop Copa student.
Nice.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
I mean, after that one, it was, it was a long series in the end.
You know, they had a bit of a comeback.
And after it was done, you guys looked more, you look more exhausted
than, than sort of celebrating is, is that because you're still in
sort of concentration mode or what are you able to relax at this point at all?
I kind of just feel like we made it a bit more difficult than we needed to.
Obviously it's a great team, K-DopCorp,
but I feel like most of the time we made it more difficult for ourselves than we needed to be.
But what matters is that we closed it out in the end.
What's up man? T-Base here.
Did y'all know that 10-4 was going to be leaving?
Or did that catch up on us?
I mean, we were told.
We also kind of knew.
There was a lot of suspicion around it, so we had an idea.
Can I ask two questions, Lee?
Yeah, you can go for it.
What are the expectations for the team?
What y'all looking for?
I mean, major.
and then get enough points so we get the EWC spot as well.
Okay, okay.
That's fair.
Now, I want to ask, looking at your matches tomorrow,
so your first stop, of course, is synergy,
and then you've got team vitality after that,
if you can win.
For you guys tonight is knowing that you've played against vitality,
you know what to expect,
you brought it that distance, you almost get there.
Do you guys focus on a matchup like that
to make sure you can pull it over the edge,
or are you really locking into the synergy match,
match knowing that hey you've lost to another team around similar caliber like inner circle before.
I mean I think it's just about taking one game at a time really. I mean Synergy is obviously a great
team as well so I think that's taking one series at a time is what we need to do.
Hey I mean that's the best you don't want to get too far ahead of it so I think you guys
keep doing your game plan and you'll probably go far bait set before you can you guys can
make grand finals from what we've seen so congratulations on that win I'm going to
I'm going to let you go and get locked in for tomorrow.
And hopefully your journey continues on.
Thank you.
Yeah, realistically, again, it's been paying dividends.
With the Seiko move for them, they've
been looking great out there, a team
that I can fully expect, making this Saturday playoff
bracket call in the future in the next opens as well.
I like them a lot.
I like the way they play Rocket League.
I like their stories.
I said earlier, I'm a big fan of the comeback.
You know, it's always exciting with the science he plays.
We haven't heard from for a while.
Suddenly come back and show that all this time, you know, they haven't forgotten
how to play the game, their thumb still work.
And that is fair to say for all the members of K dot corp.
Again, and they were saying their their goal right now is to get to the major.
And I feel like that's a real possible thing for them,
especially given the problems.
Some of these other top teams that have more points in front of them
are having, you know, yeah.
This is there's a lot of stuff opening up potentially for a team like Manchester City or maybe one or two more where you know
The big the big team start dropping points you don't think wait a minute
You know they won the major but are they guaranteed or this team brought in a big player
But are they guaranteed and suddenly those four or five slots are looking viable for a team like mansees
I've certainly got the time
You know we saw that if nothing else they kick off that how talented this team are they had that reverse week
And I'm sure they still think about that but that could that could still be a real career to finding moment for them
If they step up from it you usually got some squires man
I mean, yeah, it's a big weekend for man city and even NIP making it further than the bracket collected that 10 potentially I think any of the second maybe 15 for first. I don't know. I know the points change sometimes.
Yes, 18 for first and 12 for second. Yeah, that's a lot of points, man. That's a lot of points. I'll tell you that much. That's nice. Now in a good spot right now. Keep on grinding.
Yes, it is. Hey, well, if you're Man City fan, maybe they're going to make their way all the way to the end.
They'll need, again, a lot of these points here. They're already in a good position for this, but that 12 and 18 really sets you ahead.
I forget where Man City was sitting in their points a lot. I think I'll look in a sec.
But yeah, they're definitely going to want to climb this ladder as far as possible.
I have to sink right now.
Yeah, okay. And so they're going to need it. But those teams in front of them and those, those spots, especially with GKO.
Yeah, this is oh you're talking about overall. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was looking at overall, but I guess for Paris. Yeah, I apologize reset, but
Just in general, they're putting themselves in a good. Oh, they are in sixth
Sixth
There we go. Hey, they're looking towards that that Paris major which hopefully you guys are gonna join us for two
We talk about a lot because man, I'm never gonna forget a time like Leon and I know Paris two hours away
is going to be just as good. We just got to hope that all these these French teams make it out there too.
I'm back the crown to come up with somebody to root for. If in some bizarro universe none of them make it,
they will still be there. They will still be chances. That's probably still be root for calming
cop if calming cop aren't there and gentle mates and the others. So I don't think we've got to worry
about that at all. I gotta say some of my I'm gonna I'm gonna pick a side here. I have two vitality
and they have a lot of
players in the team. They're
going to have a little bit of
difficulty to fans. They've been
some of my favorites. They'll
pick whoever the underdogs is
and they are jumping on in the
whole stadium getting loud. No
matter what. So the vitality
fans keep going, because that
that's always fun. But here's
your schedule for tomorrow. If
case you want to pick it
you just tune in all day,
of course. But if your
favorite team is playing a
little bit later, maybe you
can sleep it a little bit.
I'll give you permission here
but cake. We're starting
it off. Maybe you don't
want to miss it out here.
We've seen them have a
here. It's been your thoughts. You're joining us on on the EU weekend. You said, Hey, you've
got some squads. I feel like we're converting you over here.
I want to say that, but they do have
an under silent on the you got thing or the
Oh yeah, what's silent. But after watching today, I'm taking some of my opinions back.
I will say you does have a really good set about eight teams. But unfortunately, some
of them are not making it to Saturday. So they're in a bad spot at the moment.
We'll get them by the end of the weekend.
I believe that, honestly. I believe that.
And as soon as he goes back to LA, he'll be like,
oh my god, this is so much better.
So we'll enjoy you while we go, yeah.
Yes, here it is.
Well, hey, hopefully you guys can join us tomorrow.
We'll see if we can convert Bates to an EU fanboy by tomorrow.
But we got championship Sunday going on.
Please join us then.
I'm starting, starting, starting, getting it
Got it, get ready, got it
I'm starting, starting, getting it
Hey, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe

Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive
Oh, I'm sorry
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these
Maybe something like, I have protection
