I didn't hear you because we're silent every time. 20:15.160 --> 20:17.640 I was very intently watching it. 20:17.640 --> 20:20.680 RG's down for that game. You call it luck for me. 20:20.680 --> 20:23.320 I'm calling a little bit of slight consistency. 20:23.560 --> 20:26.360 I expected them to win that series James. It felt short. 20:27.000 --> 20:30.720 Well, honestly, some of the saves in overtime were unreal. 20:30.720 --> 20:32.320 Like Virtus Pro, I'll give them credit. 20:32.520 --> 20:35.320 Their defense was unbelievable, especially in overtime. 20:35.600 --> 20:36.960 They got those overtime duffs. 20:36.960 --> 20:39.080 A lot of overtime losses for NRG, 20:39.080 --> 20:41.520 but we'll cover more of that later. 20:41.520 --> 20:45.720 Gen G, I think, though, has really bounced back quite well. 20:45.720 --> 20:47.160 There's been a lot of pressure on them. 20:47.160 --> 20:50.400 I mean, these guys, they did not have a very good first 20:50.400 --> 20:51.480 open of this split. 20:51.480 --> 20:55.280 And you know that they're playing with a chip on their shoulder. 20:55.280 --> 20:59.360 Yeah, I mean, we also saw before that foot going through 20:59.360 --> 21:01.160 for Kirk, and we looked at next to new. 21:01.160 --> 21:03.320 I think this is a team that people really 21:03.320 --> 21:04.480 need to keep an eye on. 21:04.480 --> 21:05.000 Oh, yeah. 21:05.000 --> 21:09.320 next to new has been honestly like the the ones flying under the radar yet 21:09.320 --> 21:14.520 destroying as many people as they possibly can in the process big ups to 21:14.520 --> 21:17.960 aries by the way had a performance that really put a lot of eyes on him again 21:17.960 --> 21:22.840 this week which i mean you've got to there they've been able to keep up this 21:22.840 --> 21:28.360 much unfortunately they did fall to foot but they they got the win in that 21:28.360 --> 21:32.520 what y'all just saw that was a whole suite well then after that so we 21:32.520 --> 21:39.380 We qualified a few through eliminated a few and then we moved on to our lower semifinals there where that that question of yet 21:39.380 --> 21:41.040 Is is Gen G back? 21:41.040 --> 21:45.200 Dazz was was on the line here and watching you know their match against 21:45.760 --> 21:52.220 L.O.B.

30:48.640 --> 30:51.840 You don't practice defending shots like that. 30:51.840 --> 30:54.040 That was the best shot that you will see 30:54.040 --> 30:56.000 from any region all weekend. 30:56.000 --> 30:58.360 James, you've been a little unhinged here, a little biased, 30:58.360 --> 31:00.000 but I got to give it to you. 31:00.000 --> 31:01.520 Beast Mode popped off yesterday. 31:01.520 --> 31:02.760 You're the ceiling. 31:02.760 --> 31:05.080 Beast Mode was king yesterday, 31:05.080 --> 31:06.880 but the fact that that was, again, 31:06.880 --> 31:09.600 I think three of those in one single game, 31:09.600 --> 31:10.680 looking real good, that's for sure. 31:10.680 --> 31:13.560 Hopefully we can see a little bit more of that today 31:13.560 --> 31:17.480 here, as, again, that led us into our playoff bracket. 31:17.480 --> 31:20.940 Let's take a look at how things are looking overall. 31:20.940 --> 31:22.940 It looks like we're already moving on to around the globe. 31:22.940 --> 31:25.400 So actually, we'll look around the other regions right now. 31:25.400 --> 31:29.000 As there are some teams playing still, 31:29.000 --> 31:32.160 we see Mina actually in the middle of a series right now. 31:32.160 --> 31:37.000 Gazz, there's a big 4-0 I'm looking at in the beginning there. 31:37.000 --> 31:37.500 Yeah. 31:37.500 --> 31:41.640 I mean, Valians versus Falcons have been going on. 31:41.640 --> 31:44.760 Valians to game one, Falcons to game two, 31:44.760 --> 31:46.240 I started to get three. 31:46.240 --> 31:48.080 There was a timeout and I don't even think 31:48.080 --> 31:51.880 they've been playing broccoli the sixth time out. 31:51.880 --> 31:54.600 I think there's no way to get into that game four right now. 31:54.600 --> 31:56.000 A lot of tension, a lot of pressure on the line, 31:56.000 --> 31:57.840 but it started here, like you said, 31:57.840 --> 32:02.840 with a four on from Twisted Minds in the upper round. 32:02.840 --> 32:05.880 Here, Twisted Minds sweeping Falcons 32:05.880 --> 32:08.240 and the Falcons six to Twins join 32:08.240 --> 32:10.200 haven't been swept in a best of seven, 32:10.200 --> 32:12.480 not regionally or on a land. 32:12.480 --> 32:16.040 Last time as a board, Falcons as a board got swept. 32:16.040 --> 32:20.200 It was Amat, Callick, TRK, losing to the 20th and Massen. 32:20.200 --> 32:23.520 That was in spring, 22-23. 32:23.520 --> 32:25.520 So Falcons in the danger zone. 32:25.520 --> 32:26.960 You take a look here at the Mena Major points. 32:26.960 --> 32:27.960 Yeah, look at that. 32:27.960 --> 32:30.160 14 points. 32:30.160 --> 32:31.480 They're in a series right now 32:31.480 --> 32:34.320 where it feels like they must win. 32:34.320 --> 32:38.120 And right now, it's going on right now. 32:38.120 --> 32:39.120 This is the same. 32:39.120 --> 32:40.800 Okay, have that up on your side, monitor guys. 32:40.800 --> 32:42.920 because yeah, like generally, 32:42.920 --> 32:46.080 the Herc were just used to seeing Falcons 32:46.080 --> 32:47.360 I've been on one spot. 32:47.360 --> 32:50.440 Yeah, no, it has been so fun. 32:50.440 --> 32:52.720 A lot of these teams have imported people. 32:52.720 --> 32:54.200 We've got Drolley over there now. 32:54.200 --> 32:55.640 We've got Ryze back. 32:55.640 --> 32:58.920 It's completely changed everything, 32:58.920 --> 33:01.880 which has actually made Mina so much more fun. 33:01.880 --> 33:03.080 And like they said, I mean, 33:03.080 --> 33:04.360 I have it tapped up on my side. 33:04.360 --> 33:06.920 The game actually just got back into it. 33:06.920 --> 33:09.080 Falcons are still trailing by one in the series. 33:09.080 --> 33:12.480 So that is definitely one to keep your eye on for the rest of today. 33:12.800 --> 33:16.920 Well, and another region we got to take a look at too, of course, is OCE. 33:17.160 --> 33:19.200 So glance at the bracket here. 33:19.480 --> 33:20.400 And I know things. 33:20.560 --> 33:24.720 Yeah, James have been switching up and mixing up around here. 33:24.760 --> 33:25.000 Yeah. 33:25.000 --> 33:29.160 So, I mean, OCE for the longest time has been ruled by Torsos. 33:29.160 --> 33:35.040 But Wildcard coming off the back of their insane worlds performance ended up 33:35.040 --> 33:37.000 not qualifying for the Boston Major. 33:37.000 --> 33:42.480 was power that got the qualification from that and now again power and wild card on a collision course one of them 33:42.480 --> 33:46.560 Gonna lose out the semi-finals which is gonna hurt because OC only has that one spot 33:46.720 --> 33:52.120 But it was the Bulldogs who again have found a way to beat power. This is not their first time doing it 33:52.400 --> 33:58.840 But you know with power you are wondering if this is the new top dog. Well, this race just got much more interesting 33:59.340 --> 34:02.720 Yeah, I wonder now does I mean just looking at the fact 34:02.720 --> 34:08.920 Okay, wildcard got their 4-0 maybe expected there, but for power effect we've seen it before do we question? Okay 34:08.920 --> 34:10.920 Is it his wildcard back on top? 34:11.480 --> 34:14.600 To some to tell it's OCE anything can happen. Literally, sir 34:16.280 --> 34:22.600 OCE I cannot like if you predict the right feel like sometimes you get lucky that being said 34:23.200 --> 34:27.000 You know for power they have to go through wildcard if they want to reclaim that, you know 34:27.000 --> 34:31.800 their number one spot, that's going to be electric when we see power play again. 34:31.800 --> 34:36.120 But Canterbury Bulldogs definitely making themselves their presence known 34:36.120 --> 34:38.000 as they've been able to take down both teams here. 34:38.000 --> 34:43.040 So I think, you know, it's one of those things that makes OCE so exciting to watch 34:43.040 --> 34:45.960 because it's always, you know, it'd be a spice. 34:45.960 --> 34:47.040 It's always spice. 34:47.040 --> 34:51.160 Yeah, well, that's the thing about that region with the one spot there. 34:51.160 --> 34:55.760 And the fact that it's that close today is going to be a lot for each of those teams. 34:55.760 --> 35:05.760 So let's move on. We've got a few more things to go through, specifically this region and what we're looking forward to towards Paris. 35:05.760 --> 35:11.760 We've got no one locked in right now. Let's pull up the board actually around the entire world. It's all gray. 35:11.760 --> 35:17.760 Because no one is locked in yet. Everything is still open and it makes sense. We're only in the second open towards that Paris major. 35:17.760 --> 35:23.760 But things are going to potentially start locking in towards the end of this open here. 35:23.760 --> 35:27.240 We bought the points to several and can see it as I know we got a couple scenarios. 35:27.240 --> 35:30.800 Maybe some clenches that we're looking forward to by the end of this weekend. 35:30.800 --> 35:35.960 You see space station gaming at 24 NRG at 16. 35:35.960 --> 35:38.440 Big event for both of these teams. 35:38.440 --> 35:40.680 SSG clenches major if they make the final. 35:40.680 --> 35:42.040 So they don't have to win the event. 35:42.040 --> 35:43.040 They just have to make final. 35:43.040 --> 35:45.160 They're in a good position to do that. 35:45.160 --> 35:49.440 NRG clenches major and worlds if they win the event. 35:49.440 --> 35:53.040 So if NRG can really kind of elevate have a much better performance than they had 35:53.040 --> 36:00.880 yesterday and make it to Sunday and make it all the way to the final and win, then NRG, we'll see them at every RLCS land event for the rest of the season. 36:01.680 --> 36:08.920 Yeah. Well, we'll just have to see how it plays out because from what we've seen so far, a lot of mix ups in multiple regions at this point. 36:08.960 --> 36:12.000 Maybe we get this this weekend or maybe things settled down the way we expect them. 36:12.240 --> 36:14.160 But let's see what we think about it. 36:14.320 --> 36:19.040 Do we think it's going to settle down or go the way out the window and just everything's going to be crazy? 36:19.040 --> 36:25.480 Let's do a bracket together guys. Let's get out your crystal balls and let's let's predict the weekend. Let's see if we can do this 36:26.800 --> 36:28.800 Together and in an orderly fashion 36:31.200 --> 36:37.120 Let's get why I'm gonna give it I'm gonna give it to down to her Baron and you could just make the first decisions here on on 36:37.240 --> 36:43.560 Maybe the SSG DP one yet. Well, let's start with the order order and see if anyone disagrees. Yeah, yeah 36:43.560 --> 36:52.100 Um, I think honestly I think Winner has their comeback season. So I'm with you. I'm with you. Virtus. Pro upset space station 36:52.100 --> 36:54.800 I'm with you. I'm taking it. We have any objections. I 36:59.560 --> 37:03.600 Yeah, this is tough because I feel like as the host I have to like make the decision 37:03.600 --> 37:05.520 But I also want to give the analysts, you know, wait, all right 37:06.560 --> 37:10.640 You're the tiebreaker because it sounds like me and Dazzarin are on the side of reason 37:13.560 --> 37:19.080 my heart here. I'm right. Logic. Okay. We'll give you one. We'll use logic on the first one. 37:19.080 --> 37:22.760 And then and then it's hard the rest of the way. Space station takes it. But then watch 37:22.760 --> 37:23.760 it. Thank you. 37:23.760 --> 37:26.960 What? Yeah. Overruled Hercules. Sorry. No, no, no, no. Trust me. Trust me. 37:26.960 --> 37:31.600 That VP makes the run. Don't worry. Chat, you heard me say. All right. All right. 37:31.600 --> 37:34.120 I'm not going to give James the energy one. So I'm going to give you the Shopify 37:34.120 --> 37:37.920 rebellion for what's. Yeah, I I'm actually going to be a bit of a contrarian on this 37:37.920 --> 37:42.960 one. I feel like Shopify rebellion. Give them the check on talent. But in terms 37:42.960 --> 37:46.480 of the intangibles and the synergy. I'm a believer in foot. I actually have foot. 37:48.640 --> 37:54.400 That's crazy. Okay. Well, you know what? Upset boat Vertus pro over space station. Is it? 37:54.400 --> 37:58.080 Okay. Well, let's do it. Let's play an energy. Let's do it. We don't have much time to really 37:58.080 --> 38:01.280 actually debate this. So I'm going to give it to him. I'm going to give it to him. All right. 38:01.280 --> 38:04.000 All right. What do you got? What do you got? Dads, give me the energy strictly business. 38:04.000 --> 38:07.920 What's going on? Listen, energy. Let's be, let's be reasonable people. Energy. 38:08.640 --> 38:10.960 That's it. We can move on. Okay. Fair enough. I like it. 38:10.960 --> 38:17.360 No, it's from my and we got moving through on the top one energy. I think we're all on that one too dignity toss and 38:18.000 --> 38:23.200 Gen G here.

How's our bracket look? 41:27.400 --> 41:34.020 I'm scared. Let's let's move on. Let's not talk about this anymore. This happened, but 41:34.020 --> 41:38.680 I saw a nine. That's all I got to see. There we go. You have to be balanced by 41:38.680 --> 41:44.020 one's and two's a minus 30. I don't even know what that means. If you guys want to 41:44.020 --> 41:47.800 see Raggoli from different perspective, head over to twitch.tv slash RLE sports. 41:47.800 --> 41:50.680 You have the crowd cam up there. We can watch some of the wider rotations. 41:50.680 --> 41:53.520 See where some boost grabs are happening too. Just get that more 41:53.520 --> 41:56.520 strategic view of the field and then of course have the other one up the 41:56.520 --> 41:59.520 We can watch more of the small mechanics happen there. 41:59.520 --> 42:02.520 Here's the prize pool. Points are going to matter significantly. 42:02.520 --> 42:04.520 This bracket, while we just, I don't know what we did there, 42:04.520 --> 42:08.520 it is going to matter and hopefully it makes sense by the end of the day 42:08.520 --> 42:11.520 in all reality once the matches are played out. 42:11.520 --> 42:13.520 This is the order of business here. 42:13.520 --> 42:17.520 We are going with Strictly Business and NRG as our first matchup. 42:17.520 --> 42:20.520 So let's get into it. Let's start talking about it because 42:20.520 --> 42:22.520 Strictly Business, we said some good things about them, 42:22.520 --> 42:24.520 but having to face down a team like NRG, 42:24.520 --> 42:27.560 and RG, like James, I'll give you a platform now. 42:27.560 --> 42:30.480 And RG, realistically, nobody's gonna disagree, 42:30.480 --> 42:32.040 is an incredible team, 42:32.040 --> 42:34.280 and again, literally the best in the world. 42:34.280 --> 42:36.840 Yeah, I don't think that strictly business 42:36.840 --> 42:38.700 has gotten a game off NRG this season, 42:38.700 --> 42:41.540 so NRG against this particular roster 42:41.540 --> 42:43.280 has been very, very strong. 42:43.280 --> 42:46.040 Also, NRG, when they face elimination, 42:46.040 --> 42:47.720 are very, very strong. 42:47.720 --> 42:49.080 Sometimes they'll drop games 42:49.080 --> 42:50.400 when their life's not on the line, 42:50.400 --> 42:52.160 but when their life is on the line, 42:52.160 --> 42:55.120 It seems like they bring that extra bit of firepower. 42:55.120 --> 42:57.680 So this is just one of those situations 42:57.680 --> 43:00.880 where you feel like, even if another team gets lucky, 43:00.880 --> 43:02.360 I said it's better to be lucky than good. 43:02.360 --> 43:03.480 Well, not in this scenario. 43:03.480 --> 43:07.640 I feel like NRG is so good that I cannot see them lose 43:07.640 --> 43:08.920 on this matchup. 43:08.920 --> 43:13.880 Listen, James, you got tank top, beast mode, hoodie, Daniel. 43:13.880 --> 43:15.320 I feel like it's going to be a sweep. 43:15.320 --> 43:17.080 I feel like it's going to be a sweep. 43:17.080 --> 43:20.400 In this matchup, too, one of the biggest signs 43:20.400 --> 43:22.080 that NRG is comfortable. 43:22.080 --> 43:25.240 is super comfortable, is the level of misdirection 43:25.240 --> 43:26.920 that they incorporate into their attack. 43:26.920 --> 43:28.440 There will be situations where you think 43:28.440 --> 43:30.680 that they are going to shoot 100%, 43:30.680 --> 43:32.120 but then they either go for the fake, 43:32.120 --> 43:34.520 they go for the light, touch the pass down. 43:34.520 --> 43:38.360 They, they, they, as for calls it, anti-telegraphing, 43:38.360 --> 43:40.920 or you just think that you know what a player's gonna do 43:40.920 --> 43:41.760 and they don't do it. 43:41.760 --> 43:45.120 NRG, they do that better than anyone in the world, 43:45.120 --> 43:47.880 in my opinion, and when they have space, 43:47.880 --> 43:50.240 when they have time, they're just gonna cook you. 43:50.240 --> 43:51.640 You're gonna look silly flopping around. 43:51.640 --> 43:53.940 And I think that is the scenario that will play out personally. 43:53.940 --> 43:54.940 No. 43:54.940 --> 43:55.940 I'll go out. 43:55.940 --> 43:56.940 Honestly, I think it's a good point. 43:56.940 --> 44:01.200 I mean, that's something that has made their offense so deadly is it's the good old fighting 44:01.200 --> 44:04.040 games mix ups, you know, the conditioning and mix ups here. 44:04.040 --> 44:06.140 Let us know what you guys think with the progressive fan vote. 44:06.140 --> 44:07.140 Hashtag SP, hashtag NRG. 44:07.140 --> 44:08.140 I feel like it's going to be a little off-sided. 44:08.140 --> 44:10.140 That's what we said. 44:10.140 --> 44:11.140 Yeah. 44:11.140 --> 44:13.140 Well, listen, I was looking at the cans again, man. 44:13.140 --> 44:17.400 I see scarf, crispy, and then I see calm, comfortable, relating wave. 44:17.400 --> 44:19.820 So I don't feel like it's going to be a sweep anymore. 44:19.820 --> 44:22.740 I mean, listen, these guys are dangerous. 44:22.740 --> 44:23.580 These guys are dangerous. 44:23.580 --> 44:25.500 Also, James, I find it absolutely blasphemous. 44:25.500 --> 44:27.540 You would bring an asphere in this broadcast, OK? 44:27.540 --> 44:30.500 This is a professional environment. 44:30.500 --> 44:31.900 You were happy you were just in the wrong. 44:31.900 --> 44:33.140 You were going right. 44:33.140 --> 44:36.180 Well, I mean, sometimes he says something that makes sense. 44:36.180 --> 44:38.060 I've got to give him credit. 44:38.060 --> 44:40.340 Yeah, well, that's why I try to relate it 44:40.340 --> 44:41.540 to something that already existed, 44:41.540 --> 44:42.700 the conditioning and mix ups. 44:42.700 --> 44:45.100 I like his take on it, though. 44:45.100 --> 44:47.580 The alternate terminology here. 44:47.580 --> 44:49.660 But yeah, no, they really are so good. 44:49.660 --> 44:53.580 And I feel like it's going to be anyone going against them is going to be hard 44:53.580 --> 44:55.540 pressed to make a strong case for this. 44:55.540 --> 44:59.500 While I still have good things to say about strictly business, I think the squad, 44:59.500 --> 45:02.820 the players are great. Um, they've got great fundamentals as I said before, 45:02.840 --> 45:05.820 but it's just, it is a skill game as James was mentioning. 45:05.820 --> 45:09.860 And I don't think any single one of us are probably going to go aside from 45:09.860 --> 45:12.300 energy, uh, but her, are you going to go? 45:12.300 --> 45:15.900 It's probably not, right? The world flipping. No, no, 45:15.900 --> 45:17.380 I'm still sticking with an RG on this one. 45:17.380 --> 45:25.140 Yeah, that's what I'm saying, there's no way anyone in their right mind right now, unless 45:25.140 --> 45:29.700 they're really just trying to get a lot of channel points, are going against NRJ. 45:29.700 --> 45:31.700 It's just an unreasonable thing. 45:31.700 --> 45:34.340 James, what are we going to see? 45:34.340 --> 45:36.180 Dad said maybe not a sweep anymore. 45:36.180 --> 45:38.300 Do you still believe in a sweep, James? 45:38.300 --> 45:43.140 Yeah, I think that if Strictly Business wins one, it's just going to be one. 45:43.140 --> 45:46.660 You know, this is a team that we've seen do well. 45:46.660 --> 45:49.460 But yeah, I would say it's more likely 45:49.460 --> 45:51.740 that we'll see a sweep than a 4-1. 45:51.740 --> 45:53.980 But I'll give them a 1. 45:53.980 --> 45:54.820 You'll give them 1. 45:54.820 --> 45:57.020 Anyone else going to hurt? 45:57.020 --> 45:58.300 What are you saying, score line? 45:58.300 --> 46:01.260 Really, at this point, that's the only thing we could predict. 46:01.260 --> 46:03.060 If anything, most two. 46:03.060 --> 46:04.460 But there is definitely a chance. 46:04.460 --> 46:07.500 I think those first two games is where the upsets 46:07.500 --> 46:08.140 happen. 46:08.140 --> 46:10.260 But NRG definitely playing this off. 46:10.260 --> 46:12.060 I don't think I've also ever experienced tank top 46:12.060 --> 46:15.060 So this could be a whole new world. 46:15.060 --> 46:16.060 That's it. 46:16.060 --> 46:20.060 The outfit is going to significantly impact the gameplay. 46:20.060 --> 46:21.060 That's how we know how it works. 46:21.060 --> 46:23.060 Hey, yesterday we made the analysis of they scored all the goals. 46:23.060 --> 46:25.060 So anything can happen today, I guess. 46:25.060 --> 46:26.060 But hey, 83% NRG. 46:26.060 --> 46:27.060 Not surprised. 46:27.060 --> 46:29.060 You're probably going to be right there, chat. 46:29.060 --> 46:30.060 Let's get into the match. 46:30.060 --> 46:36.060 Our first best of seven to kick off Saturday of the North American Open Number 5 playoffs. 46:36.060 --> 46:39.060 Strictly business up against a mountain NRG. 46:39.060 --> 46:41.060 The mainstays in North America. 46:41.060 --> 46:43.060 Let's see if it goes. Let's see if they can get it done. 46:48.060 --> 46:55.060 Another RLCS Saturday upon us, NRG vs Strictly Business about to get underway here in Game 1. 46:55.060 --> 47:00.060 Brought to you by Progressive, Desk has set the tone for the match. 47:00.060 --> 47:05.060 NRG across the board as we may expect here, Hercules with Strictly Business on the match. 47:05.060 --> 47:11.060 Yeah, this is an interesting one, just because this has probably been the most inconsistent. 47:11.060 --> 47:14.060 We've seen energy in quite some time. 47:14.060 --> 47:18.060 They have regained their footing fairly well, especially throughout the yesterday. 47:18.060 --> 47:23.060 But Strictly Business, another team that if you happen to pay attention to them, they're coming in 47:23.060 --> 47:29.060 as basically European imports and pretty much giving everybody a run for their money in their prize point spots. 47:29.060 --> 47:33.060 So we'll see what we get from energy today. 47:33.060 --> 47:36.060 Aqua got a great first touch. 47:36.060 --> 47:38.060 He may do something like this, Aqua. 47:38.060 --> 47:40.060 Just beautiful play to start the game. 47:40.060 --> 47:41.060 Look at this first touch. 47:41.060 --> 47:43.060 You're not even going to see the first touch in the replay. 47:43.060 --> 47:44.060 He got a perfect thoughtful force. 47:44.060 --> 47:46.060 Beast mode to get back and try to make the play. 47:46.060 --> 47:50.060 Then he goes under Beast mode as he goes off the ceiling trying to get the challenge 47:50.060 --> 47:57.060 and then follows it up with the 501v3 pummeling there for Aqua to start the game. 47:57.060 --> 47:59.060 That is exactly what I was talking about. 47:59.060 --> 48:04.460 I've talked about this as Esplod has been so technical and fun to watch. 48:04.460 --> 48:07.760 They truly do match up for match up on a lot of these teams. 48:07.760 --> 48:11.960 I do think this is going to be their toughest one, but if they continue performances like this, 48:11.960 --> 48:14.960 I don't think there's too much to be worried about if you're a strictly busy span. 48:17.460 --> 48:21.960 Relating waves, still thinking made events in whatever region he likes. 48:21.960 --> 48:22.960 That's a quick shot. 48:24.360 --> 48:26.060 Denied by Daniel. 48:26.060 --> 48:27.660 NRG come into this game. 48:29.060 --> 48:34.060 Talk about their defense a lot, but they still are number one in shots against 48:34.060 --> 48:38.060 allowing almost on the dot seven shots a game. 48:38.060 --> 48:44.060 Got a creative shot here. Nobody really stands out individually or James talking about it. 48:44.060 --> 48:49.060 I guess anti telepathy is as for put it on their team stream. 48:49.060 --> 48:54.060 You never really know what they're going to go for and no player on this team cracks top 10. 48:54.060 --> 49:01.060 In any major statistical category on NRG, and everybody knows who the top dog is, it's 49:01.060 --> 49:02.060 Beast Mode! 49:02.060 --> 49:03.060 Beautiful play! 49:03.060 --> 49:07.060 And he gives one right back here to strip your business. 49:07.060 --> 49:12.060 Both players from across the system, living on the front, and Beast Mode just saw that 49:12.060 --> 49:15.060 his purest face, they take his time on the play of their time. 49:15.060 --> 49:16.060 Game no? 49:16.060 --> 49:18.060 I mean, look, it's him! 49:18.060 --> 49:23.060 No, I mean, like, the touch off the ceiling, that he gets it off of his wheel. 49:23.060 --> 49:25.940 I was able to balance that at the flip. 49:25.940 --> 49:29.940 I mean, we just had a whole freakin' highlight reel 49:29.940 --> 49:32.340 of Beast Mode on Friday, 49:32.340 --> 49:35.420 and he continues to deliver beautiful stuff. 49:35.420 --> 49:37.740 You can't just throw the ball out of your crispy 49:37.740 --> 49:39.460 up into space if Beast Mode is there 49:39.460 --> 49:41.540 because he just turns anything into gold. 49:41.540 --> 49:43.660 Now Aqua has a hunter downfield, 49:43.660 --> 49:44.500 almost works out. 49:44.500 --> 49:47.380 Daniel avoids traffic, gets the save. 49:47.380 --> 49:49.940 Beast Mode sitting underneath it, 49:49.940 --> 49:52.340 and he'll easily knock relating waves touch away. 49:52.340 --> 49:55.780 It's buffed off the play, Crispy, trying to generate something here for Aqua. 49:55.780 --> 49:59.980 It's just why the Net Aqua was in stride off of Crispy's attempt. 50:00.480 --> 50:02.420 You've got to be careful to restrict the business right now. 50:02.420 --> 50:06.460 Baseball has been weaving through everybody, but it's that second man set up 50:06.460 --> 50:08.220 from NRG that's been keeping them apart. 50:08.220 --> 50:10.660 They're comfortable enough to play the back pass on this. 50:10.960 --> 50:12.300 Not even stressed for sure. 50:12.300 --> 50:13.300 The business have a chance. 50:13.300 --> 50:14.540 It's a huge shot. 50:14.840 --> 50:15.340 Oh my God! 50:15.340 --> 50:17.760 Forget our Net, just bounce on it. 50:19.100 --> 50:21.640 The related way of just sitting at the midfield bottom, you would slip and use. 50:21.640 --> 50:24.720 Honestly, it looked like Relating Wave was just driving around. 50:24.720 --> 50:25.880 I mean, there's nothing. 50:25.880 --> 50:26.880 He sees the smoke. 50:26.880 --> 50:27.880 He doesn't have any boost. 50:27.880 --> 50:29.400 He's like looking around, trying to get past. 50:29.400 --> 50:32.480 I'm not sure what Relating Wave was thinking there, 50:32.480 --> 50:35.400 but he ends up giving up the back line. 50:35.400 --> 50:37.680 Maybe he thought his teammate was rotating back. 50:37.680 --> 50:40.000 Maybe he thought this flaw would happen for his team, 50:40.000 --> 50:42.480 but no. 50:42.480 --> 50:45.640 All of a sudden, NRG get a free goal. 50:45.640 --> 50:47.720 We can't give those up to the strictly business. 50:47.720 --> 50:49.040 No, absolutely not. 50:49.040 --> 50:51.240 Another pass over to Aqua to shot. 50:51.240 --> 50:55.080 Deesmo denies, nosedive down from the goal line. 50:55.080 --> 50:57.760 Another attack coming through from Atomic off the ceiling. 50:57.760 --> 50:59.040 Only has 15 to work with. 50:59.040 --> 51:00.960 Takes his time. 51:00.960 --> 51:02.360 That patience is something you're 51:02.360 --> 51:04.240 going to see a lot about of NRG today, 51:04.240 --> 51:06.280 because there is going to be some respect given 51:06.280 --> 51:07.760 to Strictly Business's defense. 51:10.520 --> 51:12.200 These final two minutes coming up, 51:12.200 --> 51:16.200 it still remains Strictly Business trailing by one. 51:16.200 --> 51:22.200 Aqua is playing very aggressively a couple of times now and been headhunting for his team. 51:22.200 --> 51:26.200 Relating Wave tackles Daniel, just can't get the ball across. 51:28.200 --> 51:34.200 I'll talk about Aqua and finding his own consistency being the mechanical master of this team. 51:34.200 --> 51:39.200 So, Crispy has had a couple of highlight plays as well. 51:39.200 --> 51:42.200 Relating Wave and Crispy sitting here on the rotation. 51:42.200 --> 51:44.640 Good 50, good shot, good goal. 51:44.640 --> 51:46.440 And that's how you get it done from the top. 51:46.440 --> 51:47.880 Nice tie up there, too. 51:47.880 --> 51:50.040 It's all, it's very a call to play. 51:50.040 --> 51:51.880 It's this light touch from the leading wave 51:51.880 --> 51:52.720 to double down. 51:52.720 --> 51:54.680 You saw Tom it trying to throw a hand up 51:54.680 --> 51:56.040 and really mess with them. 51:56.040 --> 51:58.640 But no, nobody from Strictly Business felt wavered 51:58.640 --> 51:59.480 in the moment there. 51:59.480 --> 52:02.760 So even playing ground again from Strictly Business. 52:02.760 --> 52:05.720 Yeah, Wave, he went up and Tom goes to the corner 52:05.720 --> 52:07.560 thinking Wave's gonna hit that ball to the corner. 52:07.560 --> 52:09.760 Wave pulls at the last moment 52:09.760 --> 52:16.640 push it down and gives him a beautiful chance at a 50. He will pop that ball out. Good play 52:16.640 --> 52:21.360 and good heads-up play on the 50-50 from the leading wave to spot that Atomic and already 52:21.360 --> 52:27.600 trying to predict the future. That's what strictly business needs. Game sense has to be on point. 52:28.240 --> 52:31.840 His NRG you're always going to be knocking at the door. And this time they blow it down here 52:31.840 --> 52:37.120 with Daniel picking it up. It's Atomic forcing the 50 Aqua underneath. No chance he could get 52:37.120 --> 52:44.860 anything there on that and easy goal there with Beast Mode leading the way Daniel 3 to 2 here against Strictly Business. 52:44.860 --> 52:57.360 I was going to say on top of Beast Mode just being the one offensively to have led the charge he also still manages to get those clips on defense and just really make things that much easier for him and NRG. 52:58.360 --> 53:04.860 49 on the clock here another attack going to come through they try to transition out follow this ball around Daniel no bump on Aqua. 53:04.860 --> 53:10.860 still possession energy this one's gonna take his time Daniel facing the other 53:10.860 --> 53:15.060 way they leave this two atomic in that last 35 right now is really just playing 53:15.060 --> 53:17.860 time they're not forcing any shots that aren't being given to them there's a 53:17.860 --> 53:21.820 free one to the backboard you see two up on it strictly business these double 53:21.820 --> 53:25.660 commits could come to fight them later on I mean wave is sitting his third 53:25.660 --> 53:30.740 man a lot on this push and look really uncomfortable he was sitting on 21 53:30.740 --> 53:34.140 trying to sit under small pads stay at the top of the box that double 53:34.140 --> 53:36.140 I'm very comfortable on defense. 53:36.140 --> 53:38.140 Strictly business getting caught again here. 53:38.140 --> 53:40.140 Wave has backup aqua. 53:40.140 --> 53:43.140 Get the ball back down field. 53:43.140 --> 53:45.140 Is it going to matter? Absolutely not. 53:45.140 --> 53:48.140 NRG will take game number one by one. 53:48.140 --> 53:50.140 Just a very classic performance from NRG. 53:50.140 --> 53:52.140 Not too over exerted. 53:52.140 --> 53:54.140 Not, you know, anything too intense. 53:54.140 --> 53:57.140 I will commend strictly business on the amount of 53:57.140 --> 53:59.140 players that have played in the past. 53:59.140 --> 54:02.140 I'm not going to say that I'm going to say that I'm 54:02.140 --> 54:04.640 and strictly business on the amount of shots 54:04.640 --> 54:05.760 that they were able to get. 54:05.760 --> 54:08.200 That is usually fairly difficult for any team, 54:08.200 --> 54:12.240 let alone a team with, I think, still, 54:12.240 --> 54:14.400 European-style influence on them. 54:14.400 --> 54:17.880 I don't think they've gone like the full NA flashy route. 54:17.880 --> 54:19.920 I think they are still fairly methodical 54:19.920 --> 54:21.000 with what they bring to the table. 54:21.000 --> 54:23.320 The problem is, I mean, we've seen it before, 54:23.320 --> 54:26.320 NRG does not fall to EU. 54:26.320 --> 54:28.280 Whether you're straight from EU 54:28.280 --> 54:31.120 or you're imported out to NA, they don't fall to you. 54:31.120 --> 54:34.840 So the pattern continues on here. 54:34.840 --> 54:38.520 You've got eight shots on net if you're strictly business. 54:38.520 --> 54:41.400 And the very start of the game, about 30 seconds in, 54:41.400 --> 54:44.240 beautiful pop to give Aqua a chance at that pop there. 54:44.240 --> 54:46.480 The controlling pop at the end of the top of the box. 54:46.480 --> 54:47.320 That was beautiful stuff. 54:47.320 --> 54:49.480 I could watch that play a couple of times from Aqua. 54:49.480 --> 54:52.920 But you're not going to get many solo opportunities 54:52.920 --> 54:54.640 like that against NRG. 54:54.640 --> 54:56.960 You're going to beat every single defender. 54:56.960 --> 55:01.400 So if they have to rely on Aqua to be a solo hero, 55:01.400 --> 55:02.920 it's not going to end well for them. 55:02.920 --> 55:07.560 I think that on defense, Wave doesn't get caught in the midfield, 55:07.560 --> 55:09.080 kind of in no man's land. 55:09.080 --> 55:11.240 The ball sails over his head right into the net. 55:11.240 --> 55:13.040 Whatever's going on with the MISCOM there, 55:13.040 --> 55:16.800 I think relating Wave was definitely uncomfortable on defense. 55:16.800 --> 55:23.240 So finding comfort is a big on the docket for relating Wave, 55:23.240 --> 55:26.240 if you will, in game number two. 55:26.240 --> 55:29.680 We'll see what sort of a response we get from Strictly Business. 55:29.680 --> 55:32.480 It's got to be a little frustrating, falling only down to one. 55:33.680 --> 55:36.520 And RG plays really close goal game, so getting three out of them. 55:37.240 --> 55:41.320 He's a pretty big deal as far as them being on the competitive front, 55:41.320 --> 55:41.960 relating way. 55:41.960 --> 55:44.880 Fran pushes one forward, they play the back cross, and they still follow it. 55:44.880 --> 55:45.920 Bump out to one. 55:46.920 --> 55:50.120 Could have been a good sign for SV, but of course it's V's mode of break dreams. 55:52.040 --> 55:53.080 Good touch from Aqua. 55:53.080 --> 55:58.080 Second man had to pull off of it, but we got this Krispy. Krispy third man now. 55:58.080 --> 56:03.080 Leadingway took Beast Mode out, he spawns right in the rotation, Aqua wants the bump, he's got it. 56:03.080 --> 56:08.080 Beast Mode just gets there in time. He defends the follow-up, Krispy, hot touch. 56:08.080 --> 56:12.080 With a reset, with a dunk, they're getting the 50s, but can't quite find the net. 56:12.080 --> 56:16.080 Just off the post, a lot of boost either here on the strictly business side. 56:16.080 --> 56:19.080 Midfield boost grabbed by Krispy, Aqua got the other mid. 56:19.080 --> 56:22.080 Krispy gets under atomic, still get the piece of it. 56:23.080 --> 56:39.400 And aren't you managing well enough with such an intense moment of time for them at least a moment to breathe for NRG could be short-lived here though 56:41.000 --> 56:45.720 Daniel takes it off. You can see that they're having to work together now to be able to pass that line 56:46.200 --> 56:51.160 It's been strictly business doing a really good job of at least throwing hands up on them beast mode over 56:51.160 --> 56:56.620 to one, shot to the net, slowed down here, and this has been the longest we've gone 56:56.620 --> 57:00.100 spoilers in quite some time. 57:00.100 --> 57:07.500 Hakuha, when he gets the chance behind the ball, still looks like a threat that 57:07.500 --> 57:11.380 NRG have to respect at all times. Locke from the leading wave, Hakuha was there 57:11.380 --> 57:17.100 on the... just in case things went wrong. Daniel B. Tim on the play. Daniel with 57:17.100 --> 57:22.620 couple of fifties. Horses the ball to the corner, room spawns four relating waves, strictly business. 57:23.980 --> 57:30.380 Blinded up here on defense. Not as much panic, not as much laws. Relating waves sitting right in 57:30.380 --> 57:36.780 the midfield again. In the passing lane, we're going to shake that all out. Atomic. Horses crispy 57:36.780 --> 57:41.180 to wait back to Aqua. They get the transition quickly. Atomic Horses to stay on the wall 57:41.180 --> 57:45.820 and another one. Aqua hits the left post. This time he hits the right post. That one 57:45.820 --> 57:47.660 a little more difficult than the first. 57:47.660 --> 57:49.500 Soon as I say, I like that out of NRG, 57:49.500 --> 57:52.620 though, really making sure the highs and the lows are both covered now. 57:54.940 --> 57:57.500 That half-wit point officially approached. 57:57.500 --> 57:58.700 Aqua and Crispy work together. 57:58.700 --> 58:01.660 It is a little boost, though, for Strictly Business, 58:01.660 --> 58:03.980 and that's really what's kept them from playing 58:03.980 --> 58:05.900 at least as high as they would like to. 58:06.620 --> 58:07.820 He sort of almost clears it out, 58:07.820 --> 58:09.580 a little stumble there between him and Atomic, 58:09.580 --> 58:11.500 so possession does stay to blue, 58:11.500 --> 58:12.940 shot on net, down on ground. 58:12.940 --> 58:18.780 But for as many shots as they've registered, this is going to be the cleanest one. 58:18.780 --> 58:23.700 You saw the infield come in, and finally there was some level of connection that had been 58:23.700 --> 58:26.180 missing for so many of these shots. 58:26.180 --> 58:27.180 Oh, so good. 58:27.180 --> 58:29.420 Finally able to get around. 58:29.420 --> 58:30.420 So good from Crispy there. 58:30.420 --> 58:31.420 Beastmo is going across. 58:31.420 --> 58:32.420 He needs boost. 58:32.420 --> 58:33.420 He's got nothing. 58:33.420 --> 58:34.420 Crispy's coming down. 58:34.420 --> 58:38.940 Daniel's covering that extra, the angle that Beastmo is not. 58:38.940 --> 58:45.740 near side hose. And Krispy just gets a perfect model pass with speed out over to Aqua. That 58:45.740 --> 58:51.460 was an excellent pass in traffic with a tight window from Krispy. And that's the thing is 58:51.460 --> 58:56.940 that Krispy has really looked great in North America. Whenever I'm watching him play, sometimes 58:56.940 --> 59:02.460 I'm just like, okay Krispy, he's doing some nice things out here, whether it be mechanically, 59:02.460 --> 59:07.580 whether he's dishing the ball out with a well timed pass. I really like what I 59:07.580 --> 59:11.180 I see from Crispy in a lot of the series I watch him play. 59:11.180 --> 59:14.760 Aqua drops this down and is really trying to force the issue, 59:14.760 --> 59:17.560 trying to use his mechanics to break open space, 59:17.560 --> 59:19.500 forcefully business. 59:19.500 --> 59:21.220 It's worked on a couple of pushes. 59:21.220 --> 59:23.740 Only one goal to show for it goes off. 59:23.740 --> 59:27.460 All they have needed so far is Crispy quickly to the ball 59:27.460 --> 59:29.540 to force NRG back to the real corner. 59:30.540 --> 59:32.980 The leading wave is kind of lurking onto his Tommy. 59:32.980 --> 59:34.740 Hands just went off to Aqua though. 59:34.740 --> 59:36.260 There's that high game I was talking about. 59:36.260 --> 59:39.460 They play really well from up there, however, energy has adapted. 59:40.460 --> 59:42.900 As far as having a lot of those backwards shots red, 59:42.900 --> 59:45.820 they transition out, give themselves a shot, that minute left. 59:45.820 --> 59:48.340 This is where energy's really gonna have to step up here. 59:48.340 --> 59:49.740 As far as strictly business concerned, 59:49.740 --> 59:52.040 you're just playing the interception game now. 59:53.500 --> 59:55.060 There's me already ready for it. 59:55.060 --> 59:56.580 Heavy touch though off the ceiling, 59:56.580 --> 59:57.740 try to make up for it. 59:59.860 --> 01:00:01.180 Drifting business will absolutely 01:00:01.180 --> 01:00:03.060 take the clear back to their own corner. 01:00:03.980 --> 01:00:05.860 The Eastmoor giving a raspike related wave. 01:00:05.860 --> 01:00:08.820 He just goes right through two, sets it up for the third. 01:00:08.820 --> 01:00:10.100 And Atomic is denied. 01:00:10.100 --> 01:00:11.220 Daniel will have to hold. 01:00:11.220 --> 01:00:13.460 Beastman got the midfield boost, and now he's gone. 01:00:13.460 --> 01:00:15.260 Aqua coming around on that first touch, 01:00:15.260 --> 01:00:18.300 pops it out, but everybody is on the other side 01:00:18.300 --> 01:00:19.220 for strictly business. 01:00:19.220 --> 01:00:20.460 Aqua has to hold the ball. 01:00:20.460 --> 01:00:22.260 He'll do that in a little bit more, 01:00:22.260 --> 01:00:23.460 running around the corner. 01:00:23.460 --> 01:00:24.820 Trying to build Beast Mode. 01:00:24.820 --> 01:00:25.460 Fails. 01:00:25.460 --> 01:00:26.620 Atomic, no touch. 01:00:26.620 --> 01:00:27.500 They respected it though. 01:00:27.500 --> 01:00:28.180 Relating wave. 01:00:28.180 --> 01:00:29.540 He didn't have a ton of boost. 01:00:29.540 --> 01:00:31.380 Crispy was coming back. 01:00:31.380 --> 01:00:33.420 Daniel leaves it for Atomic, but Crispy gets 01:00:33.420 --> 01:00:34.100 in front of the pass. 01:00:34.100 --> 01:00:38.220 Crispy in this final minute has been huge on the 01:00:38.900 --> 01:00:42.020 Touch-stopping plays for strictly business still defense 01:00:43.260 --> 01:00:48.100 Still trying to get out awkward the ball gets away from a beast mode and Daniel tied up together on the wall 01:00:48.100 --> 01:00:51.980 They can't get the ball the top keeps it in the air Daniel up next piece more top of the box 01:00:51.980 --> 01:00:57.580 He's ready for it with the touch with the shot and the double-cutting is it good enough ball still in the air 01:00:57.780 --> 01:01:02.420 Daniel that's the beast known backwards that should do it strictly business time the series 01:01:02.420 --> 01:01:10.520 the way that they were able to communicate especially on that final double commit of course the same you got to commend them on this 01:01:11.120 --> 01:01:12.640 energy through 01:01:12.640 --> 01:01:18.880 Everything at them in the final moments and still managed to get held back just 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.800 Enough so there's the one game that most of us predicted that they would get on that one 01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:26.480 It's just a matter of can you keep up with it? 01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:32.120 But Jordan on the side thing on the tab out for those of y'all not pay up might not have this up 01:01:32.560 --> 01:01:40.840 Falcons versus team stallions is currently in game seven. Nush just tie things up with two minutes left to go 01:01:41.120 --> 01:01:46.760 That's that's crazy. You gotta pull streams up if you're able to do that because wow 01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:51.460 What's going on in the Middle East is just crazy, but over here strictly business 01:01:51.460 --> 01:01:56.780 trying to keep things rolling much better on defense wave was not getting caught 01:01:56.780 --> 01:02:01.900 out even though he is a little bruised a lot on defense but a much better job of 01:02:01.900 --> 01:02:08.100 getting the most value out of the little bit he had and the physicality from 01:02:08.100 --> 01:02:14.500 strictly business really helped keep NRG off rhythm. Not how NRG want to be 01:02:14.500 --> 01:02:16.820 playing even near the end there they were starting to put it together and a 01:02:16.820 --> 01:02:21.100 couple of key missed touches forced them to have to make up lost ground and 01:02:21.100 --> 01:02:23.600 and get a little more done, and honestly, 01:02:23.600 --> 01:02:25.900 we were seeing this yesterday from NRG. 01:02:25.900 --> 01:02:28.280 There would be moments where they looked unbeatable. 01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:30.380 And then there were, I guess I remember, 01:02:30.380 --> 01:02:34.020 it was like an eight minute overtime versus Votus Pro, 01:02:34.020 --> 01:02:36.620 where they were just mis-touching. 01:02:36.620 --> 01:02:39.380 Like there are so many mis-touches from NRG on defense 01:02:39.380 --> 01:02:42.500 that I'm just not used to seeing it. 01:02:42.500 --> 01:02:45.260 So like, you know, they haven't been perfect, 01:02:45.260 --> 01:02:47.420 but I know we've said that a lot about NRG before. 01:02:47.420 --> 01:02:49.020 They get to Sunday and things like that, 01:02:49.020 --> 01:02:52.740 But should the business are playing a good game right now. 01:02:52.740 --> 01:02:56.660 And Aqua, he's had a couple of standout moments. 01:02:56.660 --> 01:02:58.420 For me though, it's Crispy. 01:02:58.420 --> 01:02:59.620 Although this one's easy for him. 01:02:59.620 --> 01:03:00.980 He didn't have to do too much work. 01:03:00.980 --> 01:03:02.980 It's Aqua who sets this one up. 01:03:02.980 --> 01:03:04.380 As NRG, what happened to him here?

He gets to that 50. 01:08:59.300 --> 01:09:02.300 And it just goes off the post. It was surely going in. 01:09:02.300 --> 01:09:05.300 Friskie was uncomfortable. He was about to get pumped, 01:09:05.300 --> 01:09:07.300 or at least there was NRG lurking around him. 01:09:07.300 --> 01:09:10.300 But Aqua just takes the ball off its target 01:09:10.300 --> 01:09:13.300 and forced NRG to call a timeout. 01:09:13.300 --> 01:09:16.300 They were unable to come away with a goal in game number three. 01:09:16.300 --> 01:09:20.300 It's strictly business of 2-1 in the series. 01:09:20.300 --> 01:09:26.480 At Game 1, Strictly Business started to score it. 01:09:26.480 --> 01:09:30.380 Beast Mode immediately responded with a Beast Mode level goal. 01:09:30.380 --> 01:09:36.600 But since then, it's been the fundamentals, which have been boost deals, bumps, getting 01:09:36.600 --> 01:09:38.480 in the way, NRG. 01:09:38.480 --> 01:09:41.000 You said it, Hercules, uncomfortable. 01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:44.320 We saw it a couple of times on defense, and even when they were getting the touches 01:09:44.320 --> 01:09:47.560 they wanted, they didn't have the resources they wanted. 01:09:47.560 --> 01:09:54.560 It just hasn't been the immaculate game from NRG that we're used to seeing on the weekends. 01:09:54.560 --> 01:09:56.560 They're very much in trouble right now. 01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:57.560 Yeah. 01:09:57.560 --> 01:10:02.560 It's strictly business after that game too, where their defense was really shaky. 01:10:02.560 --> 01:10:05.560 Haven't seen it. 01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:10.560 Yeah, I just... 01:10:10.560 --> 01:10:12.560 I mean, NRG, it's... 01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:14.560 Yeah, go for it. 01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:28.560 I'm like, oh, she's just saying it because Dignitas, but this was what we were seeing when Dignitas took NRG down when you took their boost away from them and then you just full sent commit on the first attack. 01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:32.160 most a handful times out of 10. 01:10:32.160 --> 01:10:36.060 Atomic and Daniel are already waiting to make their quick attack. 01:10:36.060 --> 01:10:40.860 So it hasn't really been a thought in their mind in that series, in this series, 01:10:40.860 --> 01:10:45.760 to really prioritize defense, which I have a feeling Saphu is going to tell 01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:47.960 that we're going to lean a little bit further back on this one. 01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:51.560 You play the one man up now, you go back to a little bit more of a classic 01:10:51.560 --> 01:10:55.560 NRG style to really slow the Strictly Business team down. 01:10:55.560 --> 01:11:05.000 I mean, really, I just think it comes down to the touch quality, finding ways to... 01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:10.120 NRG really good at adapting when a team gets the advantage on them in physicality, starts 01:11:10.120 --> 01:11:12.120 stealing boosts. 01:11:12.120 --> 01:11:16.120 NRG usually activate NEO mode, and then they become a lot harder to bump. 01:11:16.120 --> 01:11:21.280 You can see that a little bit in the last NA open. 01:11:21.280 --> 01:11:24.720 They are the top dogs in the region for a reason. 01:11:24.720 --> 01:11:30.880 watched them look vulnerable many times. It's not the first time that NRG have looked beatable, 01:11:30.880 --> 01:11:36.800 but then lock it in at the end. Being that adaptable is what makes you the best team in this region. 01:11:36.800 --> 01:11:43.680 But Paris Major opens have definitely felt a lot different, especially with the way teams 01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:49.680 like Space Station are looking. It is not as free as it may have been in previous opens. 01:11:49.680 --> 01:11:57.280 definitely a lot different. This one a two-thirds English squad though bringing it with Aqua at the 01:11:57.280 --> 01:12:02.960 head of it as the lone North American representative. Really liked what I've seen though from strictly 01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:09.440 business Aqua. Red the double. He just boosted right below Atomic. It wasn't on target. Maybe 01:12:09.440 --> 01:12:13.920 Atomic was able to somehow get that on target. Aqua can't get there but still Aqua just 01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:19.120 throwing his body at it saying look if you hit it you hit it but I will get there if you 01:12:19.120 --> 01:12:21.120 the dump, relating wave, avoid the bump, 01:12:21.120 --> 01:12:23.080 Aqua up high, defended by Daniel. 01:12:23.080 --> 01:12:26.680 And NRG, under the rest again, weak shot for Crispy, 01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:27.880 keeps things scoreless. 01:12:29.120 --> 01:12:33.120 Those multi shots is really what is keeping SB 01:12:33.120 --> 01:12:35.760 almost a step ahead of NRG at times. 01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:39.400 NRG haven't had that level of flow on offense. 01:12:40.240 --> 01:12:43.880 Since probably game number one, 3-13 into this one here, 01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:45.640 pressure still falling from Strictly Business. 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:47.560 They play for the back pass, Crispy over to one, 01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:58.560 You're trying to play this one a little bit closer as they understand, you know, those those past attempts are going to start coming through a little bit more frequently now says he didn't find anything in the early game. 01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.560 No play there. 01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:05.560 These are about the 50 Daniels going to play the loss instead of playing the midfield. 01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:07.560 You had atomic also on the right side. 01:13:07.560 --> 01:13:09.560 Daniels on small pads on that last one. 01:13:09.560 --> 01:13:12.840 Last one, he got the boost steal in the corner. 01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:14.240 Chris B's left with nothing. 01:13:14.240 --> 01:13:15.360 Aqua gets there quickly. 01:13:15.360 --> 01:13:17.880 Aqua ready for everything. 01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:21.160 His way, he's been so quick to the ball. 01:13:21.160 --> 01:13:23.360 And it looks like NRG have a moment to get in there. 01:13:23.360 --> 01:13:25.040 Aqua, I think the quickness, 01:13:27.040 --> 01:13:28.960 it's kinda catching him off guard thinking, 01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:31.040 okay, I'm gonna catch the 50 gear 01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:34.400 and ball's sailing over one and a half NRG heads. 01:13:34.400 --> 01:13:36.200 As Daniel hopes for some boost, 01:13:36.200 --> 01:13:37.400 but Chris B already got it. 01:13:37.400 --> 01:13:40.120 Relating wave, no touch here, Aqua. 01:13:40.120 --> 01:13:43.520 Somehow gets across that, but Autonically, Autonic shot. 01:13:43.520 --> 01:13:44.920 Not very good. 01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:46.840 Quick pass, Autonically got nothing, 01:13:46.840 --> 01:13:48.400 leaves it for Beast Mode. 01:13:48.400 --> 01:13:51.000 Daniel, third man, but he gets dusted by Aqua. 01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:52.360 There's Chris, he with no boost, 01:13:52.360 --> 01:13:54.080 he wants Relating Wave to go. 01:13:54.080 --> 01:13:55.560 Needing a little bit more boost, 01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:57.600 it was too far away from him, no play there, 01:13:57.600 --> 01:13:58.560 for strictly business, 01:13:58.560 --> 01:14:00.840 but they almost had NRG tie up again. 01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:04.480 It has been so interesting to watch NRG's 01:14:04.480 --> 01:14:06.960 thought process on Wendes and that third man back, 01:14:06.960 --> 01:14:09.800 timing just been a little bit off. 01:14:09.800 --> 01:14:12.120 Just kept their connections even more off. 01:14:12.120 --> 01:14:15.320 But Daniel finally, he has his moment. 01:14:15.320 --> 01:14:16.800 He works his way around. 01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:19.080 He saw the atomic giant plate on the low ground, 01:14:19.080 --> 01:14:22.760 but reads the bounce and gives NRG the lead. 01:14:22.760 --> 01:14:24.040 Yeah, I think that's a safe. 01:14:24.040 --> 01:14:26.400 If Aqua doesn't run into Relating Wave on the spawn, 01:14:26.400 --> 01:14:28.560 Daniel got the demo on Relating Wave. 01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.880 Huge credit to him for getting the demo 01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:31.920 and forcing that to happen. 01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:34.280 But you saw Relating Wave spawn in the corner 01:14:34.280 --> 01:14:35.600 that Aqua was rotating back to. 01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:39.560 Relating wave and turn before that shock had come out and he got bumped. 01:14:41.320 --> 01:14:42.840 Thanks to a demo for NRG. 01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:45.320 They're able to get a lead. 01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:48.600 Only two shots on target. 01:14:49.400 --> 01:14:50.600 Forstrup is just so far. 01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:53.600 This one's looking a little awkward and relating wave gets the tipper. 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:57.560 And somehow wins the 50 fully there. 01:14:58.240 --> 01:14:59.320 No one in the midfield ready. 01:14:59.320 --> 01:15:00.520 Crispy versus Beastmo. 01:15:01.320 --> 01:15:02.240 Crispy wins the foul. 01:15:02.360 --> 01:15:03.840 Aqua, sidewalk, double. 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:06.840 As a home run hit and he whiffed it. 01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:11.840 It's been a little awkward on a couple of these attempts here from Strictly Business. 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:14.840 They were initially sending Relating Wave up on his own. 01:15:14.840 --> 01:15:19.840 Aqua almost lost the 50, but eventually does lose possession overall. 01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:22.840 Daniel down, Beast Mode to catch it. 01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:24.840 1v1 on Aqua and it's in your net. 01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:26.840 Yeah, that's the last thing I'd want to see. 01:15:26.840 --> 01:15:31.840 As Beast Mode getting a perfect catch and I'm stuck backwards at the top of the box. 01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:35.960 of the turn instead of trying to challenge any thought he could get the speed 01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:39.620 But he can't be smog with a perfect flick 01:15:40.360 --> 01:15:43.640 No more power needed excellent flick from him and aqua 01:15:44.240 --> 01:15:46.960 Left stranded and strictly business left squirts 01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:51.360 Strictly business is not even that they've been playing a pet game here 01:15:51.360 --> 01:15:54.360 It's just gonna get away from them at this point. That's just gonna be 01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:56.920 Frustration on their end 01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.320 energy and started to go through them. 01:15:59.320 --> 01:16:02.000 They're forcing these 1v1s and these 2v1s 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.440 like Daniel from Beast Mode, going up in Krispy's face, 01:16:05.440 --> 01:16:08.760 really just stressing you out to the point of oblivion 01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:11.640 and energy, looking very comfortable 01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:13.280 headed into the Final 44. 01:16:13.280 --> 01:16:14.960 We're talking about how, you know, 01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:17.720 the boost game, strictly business, 01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:19.240 we're getting a lot of boost steels, 01:16:19.240 --> 01:16:21.080 a lot of wins in the midfield with boosts. 01:16:21.080 --> 01:16:21.960 They were getting the bumps, 01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:22.840 they were getting the demos. 01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:31.340 NRG flipped it on them this time and good job getting the ball into space, giving them a chance to actually get boos. 01:16:31.340 --> 01:16:39.440 They were happy to let Strictly Business clear that fallout on those boos, go back, just as long as they were the ones in control of the canisters. 01:16:39.440 --> 01:16:42.640 So eventually it did lead to that team bump, right? 01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:51.540 We're letting Wavell pick up a ball here, but really NRG much better on offense in controlling the pace of play, controlling the resources of the map, 01:16:51.540 --> 01:16:54.860 and see those little things that make such a difference. 01:16:54.860 --> 01:16:57.900 You can strip the business, they can't play that game 01:16:57.900 --> 01:16:58.860 if they're not winning booths. 01:16:58.860 --> 01:17:00.420 When you're forced to just clear them all out 01:17:00.420 --> 01:17:02.380 and give it back to NRG, sure. 01:17:02.380 --> 01:17:04.540 You get a cute little low boost passing play 01:17:04.540 --> 01:17:05.980 to get a deep clear down field, 01:17:05.980 --> 01:17:09.020 but you gotta be pixel perfect the whole way there. 01:17:09.020 --> 01:17:11.260 You don't have any booths to make up for it. 01:17:11.260 --> 01:17:13.540 So many times, it does come down 01:17:13.540 --> 01:17:15.300 to are you controlling the booths? 01:17:15.300 --> 01:17:18.860 NRG control the booths, they control the physicality, 01:17:18.860 --> 01:17:21.460 they control the score on the board, 01:17:21.460 --> 01:17:23.900 And it's for the one easy thousand here for game four. 01:17:23.900 --> 01:17:24.780 Yeah, very easy. 01:17:24.780 --> 01:17:28.540 I mean, you said it perfectly, the second you are the first team 01:17:28.540 --> 01:17:31.940 to really get a hand on controlling the boost 01:17:31.940 --> 01:17:35.540 and deciding how high somebody physically gets to play 01:17:35.540 --> 01:17:38.500 and how fast they physically get to play. 01:17:38.500 --> 01:17:40.900 You absolutely own and dominate the series 01:17:40.900 --> 01:17:43.420 and NRGE sports adapt. 01:17:43.420 --> 01:17:47.740 They make a perfect response to that previous loss 01:17:47.740 --> 01:17:49.620 against Strictly Business. 01:17:49.620 --> 01:17:52.820 they look really solid headed into the rest of the series. 01:17:52.820 --> 01:17:55.060 So that's a big question for strictly business. 01:17:55.060 --> 01:18:00.700 NRG love to control the ball so they can control the boost. 01:18:00.700 --> 01:18:03.260 And you've been great at defending infield passes. 01:18:03.260 --> 01:18:06.140 You've been great at cutting off those lanes 01:18:06.140 --> 01:18:07.500 and getting quick 50s. 01:18:07.500 --> 01:18:10.940 But now what do you do when NRG are happy to let you play 01:18:10.940 --> 01:18:13.420 the 50-50 if it means they recover and they steal 01:18:13.420 --> 01:18:14.460 your boost really quick? 01:18:14.460 --> 01:18:17.660 They will play the long game against you 01:18:17.660 --> 01:18:19.660 if they feel like that's the best route forwards. 01:18:19.660 --> 01:18:21.700 Now it's up to Strictly Business to find a way 01:18:21.700 --> 01:18:24.180 to start reading that, 01:18:24.180 --> 01:18:25.620 start talking about what James was talking about 01:18:25.620 --> 01:18:28.300 on the desk about them being unreadable 01:18:28.300 --> 01:18:30.820 as they get, as they're adapted. 01:18:30.820 --> 01:18:31.980 Not necessarily like they're on the wall. 01:18:31.980 --> 01:18:32.820 What are we gonna do? 01:18:32.820 --> 01:18:35.660 It's more so like what's their plan with their 50-50 01:18:35.660 --> 01:18:37.860 and when they're just trying to control the game, 01:18:37.860 --> 01:18:39.900 it can just feel like you're just throwing 01:18:39.900 --> 01:18:42.900 your head against a brick wall and nothing's working. 01:18:42.900 --> 01:18:45.420 So Strictly Business work to do here 01:18:45.420 --> 01:18:49.020 to tie the game up and at least force another game on Neotokio. 01:18:50.140 --> 01:18:52.860 Well, this will be very interesting from Strictly Business 01:18:52.860 --> 01:18:56.620 because they're now put into a situation where they got to adapt 01:18:57.260 --> 01:19:00.420 and really change their playstyle quite a bit 01:19:00.420 --> 01:19:03.620 if they want to be able to go toe for toe within our G now 01:19:03.620 --> 01:19:07.100 that they've given themselves that reset after the timeout. 01:19:07.100 --> 01:19:09.260 No timeout was called by Strictly Business 01:19:09.260 --> 01:19:12.940 as they doubled down and go straight into game five. 01:19:15.420 --> 01:19:18.720 Strictly business have looked good. 01:19:18.720 --> 01:19:21.920 Aqua has led the charge. 01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:25.720 One game where he saw Krispy at the top of the leaderboard. 01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:28.720 Doing a lot in the middle of that as well. 01:19:28.720 --> 01:19:33.720 Aqua who leads this team and score per game to find a way to generate more. 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:36.220 Relating Wave was creeping up his third man. 01:19:36.220 --> 01:19:39.720 Now he's Aqua and his Atomic gets a free ball and Atomic gets a free goal. 01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:43.920 Relating Wave was playing so close here his third man and he's got to run back 01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:47.080 and hope that he could get there, but he backflips. 01:19:47.080 --> 01:19:50.480 As Pismo left it for Sonic, there's nothing 01:19:50.480 --> 01:19:52.240 Relating Wave could do to adapt. 01:19:52.240 --> 01:19:56.760 That is pure mind-intuited to get Relating Wave. 01:19:56.760 --> 01:19:59.280 That stressed out to push it himself 01:19:59.280 --> 01:20:01.120 to run the backflip on it. 01:20:02.080 --> 01:20:03.760 Aqua had popped this one up to the top, 01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:05.440 gets the second save, it's a little bit off 01:20:05.440 --> 01:20:07.120 for their thankfully Relating Wave. 01:20:07.120 --> 01:20:08.440 It will play this one out in the corner, 01:20:08.440 --> 01:20:10.200 but that's not stopping NRG. 01:20:10.200 --> 01:20:13.880 NRG are back on that very heavy attack flow here. 01:20:13.880 --> 01:20:16.640 when they're on that front forward-facing offense. 01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:21.440 Aqua's got 23 on the wall. 01:20:24.400 --> 01:20:26.400 Relating wave, full boost, these guys there 01:20:26.400 --> 01:20:27.800 and he just chucks it away. 01:20:29.160 --> 01:20:30.720 Letting wave past space, 01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.680 pop up note that just gives it back to Daniel. 01:20:33.680 --> 01:20:36.280 All times we're letting wave past space, now he takes it. 01:20:36.280 --> 01:20:38.320 Rips the shot and it's not hard enough, 01:20:38.320 --> 01:20:39.600 not on target enough. 01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:47.120 Crispy trying to find a way to get it back to Aqua. 01:20:47.120 --> 01:20:52.460 Very tenuous control of the midfield for Strictly Business to get a nice bump on Beast Mode and 01:20:52.460 --> 01:20:58.040 Crispy needed something a little more controlling if he wasn't going to shoot it had no boost. 01:20:58.040 --> 01:21:01.800 Now they're running into each other, Aqua and Crispy starting to fall apart here at 01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:04.320 the seams. 01:21:04.320 --> 01:21:06.600 Strictly business have not scored on yet. 01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:10.120 And Atomic getting back on the small pads, 01:21:10.120 --> 01:21:13.920 not gonna be the product of getting caught in no man's land. 01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:15.840 It's Krispy's 50 forced out. 01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:18.120 An idea from Daniel. 01:21:18.120 --> 01:21:19.720 They have straight back to Atomic. 01:21:21.120 --> 01:21:23.520 Krispy's downfield with Aqua. 01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:24.640 Solo plate not gonna work, 01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:27.200 but if a high ball for relating wave, 01:21:27.200 --> 01:21:28.640 midfield taken by Krispy, 01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:30.160 but there was no boost for Aqua 01:21:30.160 --> 01:21:31.440 or relating wave on the corner. 01:21:31.440 --> 01:21:33.960 So it's a pretty clear out for NRG. 01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:35.960 Strictly business force to clear and chase 01:21:36.240 --> 01:21:41.240 Three minutes left to go there and like you said you're still holding on about one goal lead very comfortably right now opera 01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:47.360 Try to reset forward down give crispy some space, but no everybody has to retreat 01:21:47.360 --> 01:21:52.360 They just a name that call way too late. I just think you can hit the ball. He's not going to hit the ball 01:21:52.880 --> 01:21:54.640 You get that ball. He's dead 01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:58.160 My crispy just straight up misses well any wave is expecting that touch 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:02.120 So you think oh, it's related way of getting caught out as third man again 01:22:02.120 --> 01:22:07.240 but you look at Relating Waves' cam, it looks like Crispy's getting that pass and Relating Wave, 01:22:07.240 --> 01:22:12.360 we know how good his shooting is. That's a really good shot. He makes it hard for NRG to save that, 01:22:12.360 --> 01:22:18.600 so missing the ball is not gonna be good for your success. This one left to Relating Wave. 01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:23.160 It's pretty easy read there for atomic. Everybody's kind of playing this man-to-man right now 01:22:24.040 --> 01:22:29.880 and that's more so a result of SB falling behind on NRG's predictions. 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:35.640 Chris be around one socket a sock to know from just waiting patiently another shot 01:22:35.640 --> 01:22:41.280 aqua tens up the back leaves this no double insight they played it back and 01:22:41.280 --> 01:22:44.840 they just try to find their way around NRG again and fortunately for them that 01:22:44.840 --> 01:22:47.200 plan no longer works. 01:22:47.200 --> 01:22:51.480 Now Hawkeye got the midfield boos but relating we've got demoed in the corner Daniel will 01:22:51.480 --> 01:22:52.840 steal that corner boos. 01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:55.120 Beast will pops it up. 01:22:55.120 --> 01:23:00.240 They leave in the area. Daniel pops up perfectly for his beast mode keeps it going 01:23:00.240 --> 01:23:04.880 for atomic crispy had to stretch bumps atomic off the ball. Aqua will call 01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:09.320 relating wave out as he's got a full tank of booze but seeing both atomic and 01:23:09.320 --> 01:23:12.800 beast mode from the middle field makes you hesitant. While they're not you're 01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:16.480 gonna go and you're already down to you can't take an unnecessary risk here 01:23:16.480 --> 01:23:22.480 on defense. It's Daniel. Get off the ceiling gets the 50 as well opens it 01:23:22.480 --> 01:23:24.480 for Beast Mode, but it's a weak shot. 01:23:24.480 --> 01:23:26.480 Aqua gets the save, he's got to go quick 01:23:26.480 --> 01:23:28.480 and Atom and keeps him tight. 01:23:29.480 --> 01:23:32.480 They're still playing this one from the corner to Daniel. 01:23:32.480 --> 01:23:34.480 Almost to Beast Mode, Crispy. 01:23:34.480 --> 01:23:36.480 That half shot out with Aqua, 01:23:36.480 --> 01:23:38.480 immediately sent back. 01:23:40.480 --> 01:23:42.480 And then RG, just like I said, 01:23:42.480 --> 01:23:45.480 I called it that they were going to play a little bit further 01:23:45.480 --> 01:23:47.480 into the third, just respecting Strictly Business, 01:23:47.480 --> 01:23:50.480 being able to get into their half so often. 01:23:50.480 --> 01:23:54.480 And the crates catch up again. 01:23:54.480 --> 01:23:56.480 And look at that Krispy K.A.M. 01:23:56.480 --> 01:23:58.480 He sees Aqua with the 50s relating way there. 01:23:58.480 --> 01:24:00.480 And I mean, that's just a hard touch. 01:24:00.480 --> 01:24:04.480 And Daniel pops out on the left side of Krispy's camera, 01:24:04.480 --> 01:24:07.480 ready to put the ball over his head into the net. 01:24:07.480 --> 01:24:12.480 Yeah, I don't think Krispy expected that ball to just get a perfect pop 01:24:12.480 --> 01:24:14.480 with pace out to the midfield line. 01:24:14.480 --> 01:24:16.480 And he also had no boost. 01:24:16.480 --> 01:24:20.720 Several times third man's got like 12 or less in the tank 01:24:21.080 --> 01:24:23.560 Creeping up the midfield line and you want to play tight 01:24:23.960 --> 01:24:28.320 You think you gotta have trust in your teammates to get a touch or at least get something that you can get back to 01:24:29.160 --> 01:24:32.400 But it hasn't worked out and they just be punished time and again 01:24:33.400 --> 01:24:37.480 Every time on the back end of whether they're on offense or defense 01:24:37.920 --> 01:24:40.960 Yeah, unfortunately for strictly business all of that trust 01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:44.520 He's completely been unwavered and that came from the fact that NRG 01:24:44.520 --> 01:24:46.520 has helped themselves again. 01:24:48.520 --> 01:24:50.520 Yep, chuck this one up. 01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:54.520 You just chuck it up. This one is GG. 01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:55.520 Good try. 01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:58.520 He understood why awkward, crispy, vocal for that one, but... 01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:02.520 It's just complete. The wheels are off the wagon right now. 01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:03.520 Poor, strictly, business. 01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:05.520 I do think that... 01:25:05.520 --> 01:25:06.520 NRG... 01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:09.520 Move a bit of adaptation from them. 01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:10.520 Obviously better control. 01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:16.540 be able to get those boos everything we talked about before but then just 01:25:16.540 --> 01:25:22.000 antsy miss discomfort or strictly business and when you're just comforted 01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:26.400 you do things like you creep up this third man maybe you lose a little bit 01:25:26.400 --> 01:25:29.400 of vision you drop it because you feel like you got to go go go nothing has 01:25:29.400 --> 01:25:35.720 worked or you've gotten bodied off the ball but with five seconds left we 01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:40.040 will take a quick pause NRG will be taking this one no matter what 01:25:40.040 --> 01:25:45.560 happens here we'll just make sure everything's good to go on pause they are in complete control of 01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:53.160 the series now like strictly business we're gonna get something done here right now NRG fully in 01:25:53.160 --> 01:26:01.000 control oh yeah they completely re-adapted to the level of attack and boost starvation that 01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:05.480 sped it brought to the beginning stages of this series and now that they've really gotten a grip 01:26:05.480 --> 01:26:10.320 on it. It looks like they are just completely back to normal. There is nothing that slows 01:26:10.320 --> 01:26:16.160 them down or stops them on any end of the field at this point. So for strictly business, 01:26:16.160 --> 01:26:20.840 you know that you are able to keep up with them at times. You are just missing a little 01:26:20.840 --> 01:26:26.440 bit of that edge. So we I do believe that they got to play the final few seconds out 01:26:26.440 --> 01:26:31.600 there, but they are fully aware that this one is gone. And that being said, it is 01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:34.800 some match point for NRG after that. 01:26:37.200 --> 01:26:39.800 Cleaning up here, at the end of game five. 01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:46.000 As we head to Neo Tokyo, everything is in NRG's hands. 01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:49.800 To move on here in the lower bracket, NRG. 01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:52.560 Trying to end this one on Neo Tokyo. 01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:56.680 It looks like it might happen, to be honest, 01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:59.600 I think they just adapt so incredibly well 01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:03.120 and that patience to play a little bit further back 01:27:03.120 --> 01:27:05.720 has made all the difference against the strictly business 01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:06.220 squad. 01:27:06.220 --> 01:27:09.880 And in turn, has made them feel a lot more stressed out 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:11.240 to the point of cheating up. 01:27:11.240 --> 01:27:13.840 We saw two of those goals on the catch out there all the way 01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:14.440 for men. 01:27:14.440 --> 01:27:17.840 All NRG had to do was throw a shot on target, 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:19.400 and it went on in net. 01:27:19.400 --> 01:27:22.920 So for now, strictly business finally 01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:24.560 pulled their timeout card. 01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:26.000 And we'll see what they can bring 01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:27.720 to the table in this next one. 01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:31.480 100% goal participation from Beast Mode in game five. 01:27:31.480 --> 01:27:34.200 Three assists, three saves. 01:27:34.200 --> 01:27:37.320 You get double medals and a goal as well. 01:27:37.320 --> 01:27:39.320 Three shots he contributed. 01:27:39.320 --> 01:27:41.400 And Strictly Business have been held right around 01:27:41.400 --> 01:27:45.080 that NRG shots against average for the entire series. 01:27:45.080 --> 01:27:47.320 Strictly Business held eight shots on net. 01:27:47.320 --> 01:27:50.960 NRG have allowed seven shots per game, 01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:53.600 which is good for number one in North America. 01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:55.880 That's about where Strictly Business has been there 01:27:55.880 --> 01:27:58.280 or lower than that around seven or eight, 01:27:58.280 --> 01:28:01.000 or I think one game they only generated like four, 01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:03.680 but NRG putting a lot more out there, 01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:06.320 12 shots against strictly business 01:28:06.320 --> 01:28:08.400 and looking a lot more like NRG, 01:28:08.400 --> 01:28:10.120 you're not seeing those missed touches anymore 01:28:10.120 --> 01:28:11.920 and it's just been, 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:14.920 they just completely flipped it on strictly business. 01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:16.000 They're the ones discomforted. 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:17.960 They started making errors. 01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:20.400 They're not getting those 50s 01:28:20.400 --> 01:28:21.920 to allow them to steal boost. 01:28:21.920 --> 01:28:24.680 They get on offense, they don't get the corner boost 01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:29.800 And then you see Aqua all by himself as Third Man. 01:28:29.800 --> 01:28:32.000 And his teammates, Crispy and Relating Wave, 01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:32.880 both have no boost. 01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:34.280 They're in the opponent's corners, 01:28:34.280 --> 01:28:35.720 and there's just nothing they can do. 01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:37.640 So they're not able to actually hold pressure 01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:38.480 like they want to. 01:28:38.480 --> 01:28:41.560 But they're still positioning, like they own the boost. 01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:45.240 And you have to adjust in those moments. 01:28:45.240 --> 01:28:47.480 The Third Man's just been really risky for me, 01:28:47.480 --> 01:28:49.000 for strictly business. 01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:50.760 If you're not winning that boost game, 01:28:50.760 --> 01:28:53.160 if you're not getting those boost steals, 01:28:53.160 --> 01:28:55.400 You gotta give yourself an exit strategy. 01:28:55.400 --> 01:28:58.440 Strictly business though, it's all entrances for them. 01:28:58.440 --> 01:28:59.960 When they get on offense, 01:28:59.960 --> 01:29:01.960 we'll see what they can do on Neo Tokyo. 01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:03.680 That's kind of what I, you know, 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:04.800 I was referencing earlier, 01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:07.520 this whole forward-facing offensive thing. 01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:08.920 I'm sure people were really confused 01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:09.760 by what I meant by that, 01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:12.240 but it's when these teams like Strictly Business 01:29:12.240 --> 01:29:14.800 are just so fully committed to the play, 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:15.640 all facing forward. 01:29:15.640 --> 01:29:18.840 Like you said, there's no exit strategy to turn around. 01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:21.920 A team like NRG is gonna have a plan in motion 01:29:21.920 --> 01:29:29.200 have you on that back play off the backboard find each other so in a backwards sense right 01:29:29.200 --> 01:29:33.600 you're playing off of each other off the back where you don't have to constantly be full 01:29:33.600 --> 01:29:39.440 sending upfield three on net and just hoping something finds its way in so a little bit 01:29:39.440 --> 01:29:45.360 more strategic than that for NRG so that difference is really what is holding SB 01:29:45.360 --> 01:29:49.920 back right now Daniel almost dunks on one off the kickoff. 01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:54.600 He's mowed downfield, comes out. 01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:55.920 Tomik gets there. 01:29:55.920 --> 01:30:00.240 Oh, Daniel stays on the ground, avoids that bump, 01:30:00.240 --> 01:30:02.240 and gets the 50 on relating way. 01:30:02.240 --> 01:30:04.840 If Daniel, it looks like a precarious spot, 01:30:04.840 --> 01:30:07.760 but he just sticks his wheels on the ground, avoids that bump, 01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:11.840 and then that follow-up 50 to get NRG here in this spot. 01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:17.360 Tomik off the ball, had to leave the midfield boost. 01:30:17.360 --> 01:30:19.900 How'd you get it again, Aqua? Last man. 01:30:19.900 --> 01:30:21.700 Good enough catch, feeling the pressure. 01:30:21.700 --> 01:30:24.660 Gets bumped by Atomic, almost had the move. 01:30:24.660 --> 01:30:27.500 Once you saw game one, Aqua was avoiding that follow-up bump 01:30:27.500 --> 01:30:30.400 and getting that extra touch this time, not so much. 01:30:30.400 --> 01:30:32.900 It's Daniel as the fifth to eat back to Atomic, 01:30:32.900 --> 01:30:35.300 and it's perfect from Daniel. 01:30:35.300 --> 01:30:36.940 Atomic to the top shelf. 01:30:36.940 --> 01:30:38.800 Working to find themselves again, 01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:40.500 Daniel to set this one up, 01:30:40.500 --> 01:30:41.800 and it's just relating way. 01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:43.300 He played it a little bit slow, 01:30:43.300 --> 01:30:46.400 and it's a very weak, clear out, 01:30:46.400 --> 01:30:50.240 and NRG just lurking for that moment to fight one. 01:30:50.240 --> 01:30:53.200 Yeah, Daniel's playing up, and he's playing like he's going to push it against the wall 01:30:53.200 --> 01:30:55.200 or he's going to play the 50. 01:30:55.200 --> 01:30:56.520 He pulls up at the last second. 01:30:56.520 --> 01:30:57.520 You look at relating wave camp. 01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:02.000 It looks like Daniel's playing that ball, and then he just pulls up on it, and relating 01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:03.600 wave coughs up the ball. 01:31:03.600 --> 01:31:06.080 But Daniel makes it awkward. 01:31:06.080 --> 01:31:09.640 Basically, it is pretty much exactly what James was saying, that NRG and me, you 01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:14.800 know, coveted this style of, you don't actually know what the play is going to 01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:15.800 be anymore. 01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:20.040 decide that they, you know, know what a mind game you, they will start to, you know, 01:31:20.680 --> 01:31:24.600 form to that sort of style, and now that NRG have been doing that against Strictly Business, 01:31:24.600 --> 01:31:30.040 Strictly Business, you no longer can read them. There's another good console Daniel approach, 01:31:30.040 --> 01:31:35.160 but Atomic forced Crispy up for a long passage at this point. Still NRG are 01:31:39.080 --> 01:31:41.320 in full control, relating late though. 01:31:41.320 --> 01:31:45.320 I'm going to force this one across. 01:31:45.320 --> 01:31:48.320 It's just not scrappy enough for strictly business. 01:31:48.320 --> 01:31:51.320 I'm going to try to get NRG into the mud. 01:31:51.320 --> 01:31:53.320 They've got the tall sandals on, being sink, 01:31:53.320 --> 01:31:56.320 and Tom will get another clear downfield here at the corner. 01:31:56.320 --> 01:31:59.320 Three minutes to go, that one goal lead strictly business. 01:31:59.320 --> 01:32:01.320 Got to get out of there half. 01:32:01.320 --> 01:32:03.320 They're going to try to hear. 01:32:03.320 --> 01:32:05.320 Crispy low boost. Had his flip. 01:32:05.320 --> 01:32:07.320 Try to play it well. Had some time on it. 01:32:07.320 --> 01:32:12.200 I'm on it, but like I said, it is the same story over and over for NRG. 01:32:12.200 --> 01:32:16.920 Just patience has allowed them so many reads on this SP squad. 01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:24.640 It's around. Aqua was still forced to play it. 01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:29.960 I was happy to wait in midfield to commit Aqua's in a bad spot. 01:32:30.320 --> 01:32:32.080 That's an easy goal for Beast mode. 01:32:32.080 --> 01:32:36.420 Now, gotta understand how Aqua might be feeling in this position. 01:32:36.420 --> 01:32:40.600 He sees both of his teammates commit, and that ball goes straight into B-Smo. 01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:42.260 Nothing he can do about it. 01:32:42.260 --> 01:32:43.520 You wait, you're dead. 01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:44.720 You go, you're dead. 01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:48.440 Either way, strictly business, look at that. 01:32:48.440 --> 01:32:52.400 I do respect the attempt that he put out there after he saw both of his 01:32:52.400 --> 01:32:53.480 teammates commit on that one. 01:32:53.480 --> 01:32:56.920 He used the flip to at least try and give them a chance, but 01:32:56.920 --> 01:33:05.920 like we've said and seen nothing is it has allowed SB to truly predict energy anymore. 01:33:05.920 --> 01:33:10.920 The leading way of trying to get out of this runoff was waiting down on the center. 01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:15.920 Has the shot attempt, but it's a Daniel Clearhouse to the corner. 01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:18.920 That's decent. Look how fast Daniel got to the ball. 01:33:18.920 --> 01:33:20.920 Coming from his lower corner. 01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:24.920 Twist perfectly. It looked like Alcumil was going to get a chance at that ball. 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.040 Strictly business get forced back on the defense 01:33:28.940 --> 01:33:32.400 He's not getting some bumps as well crispy forced to clear it 01:33:32.940 --> 01:33:38.320 Now Aqua too late against Daniel with no more boost 50 skirts right back to the wall 01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:43.400 There's still some time here for strictly business to try to write things, but 01:33:44.200 --> 01:33:46.200 Aqua he's got a full tank behind wave 01:33:48.280 --> 01:33:50.280 Crispy's also downfield 01:33:50.280 --> 01:33:53.120 They just can't get a controlling 50. 01:33:53.120 --> 01:33:54.720 This one finally over Beast Mode's head. 01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:57.240 Aqua sizes it up, but can't land it. 01:33:57.240 --> 01:34:01.120 Relating Wave cut off by Beast Mode on the angle. 01:34:01.120 --> 01:34:03.120 He wanted the quick back wall read. 01:34:03.120 --> 01:34:03.960 Doesn't get it. 01:34:03.960 --> 01:34:05.440 Strictly business still. 01:34:05.440 --> 01:34:06.880 It looks like they're pushing, 01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:09.240 but they just don't actually have any control. 01:34:09.240 --> 01:34:12.960 NRG are in the way, getting the clears. 01:34:12.960 --> 01:34:15.320 Throwing the ball back towards the net. 01:34:15.320 --> 01:34:18.000 And almost finding a way to put a third ball on target 01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:20.400 their beast mode with one more touch. 01:34:20.400 --> 01:34:21.500 This time controls it. 01:34:23.300 --> 01:34:26.000 And from strictly business, it's definitely, 01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.160 you know, almost this imposter syndrome play at this point. 01:34:29.160 --> 01:34:31.960 They're throwing themselves at energy, like you said, 01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:34.560 like there is something, you know, to do, 01:34:34.560 --> 01:34:37.560 but energy is called their bluff every single time. 01:34:37.560 --> 01:34:39.160 And something that has been so interesting 01:34:39.160 --> 01:34:41.880 to see on the back end is how far up they send someone, 01:34:41.880 --> 01:34:43.400 whether it's Daniel or Atomic. 01:34:43.400 --> 01:34:47.640 The second one of those two has landed in that SB half. 01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:51.200 That is them calling game on deciding, you know, 01:34:51.200 --> 01:34:52.840 you need to either run back 01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:54.840 or we're gonna take a shot on your net here 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.200 and, you know, most times out of not, 01:34:57.200 --> 01:34:59.840 SB are too slow to the race back. 01:34:59.840 --> 01:35:04.840 So it's just NRG completely owning all ends of the field. 01:35:05.280 --> 01:35:07.600 SB have had no true possession 01:35:07.600 --> 01:35:09.160 even when they have this ball. 01:35:09.160 --> 01:35:11.520 So eight seconds left to go and a two-nil lead 01:35:11.520 --> 01:35:15.000 I think is more than enough for NRG at this point. 01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:16.560 Yeah, I'm kinda falling over now. 01:35:16.560 --> 01:35:22.560 You thought maybe at this point, but no, it is classic NRG with another win in a playoff. 01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:28.360 NRG wasting the rest of the time on the clock there, even a couple times on offense, looked 01:35:28.360 --> 01:35:30.400 like they could have scored more. 01:35:30.400 --> 01:35:35.720 Instead, just kept holding the ball away, playing keep away from strictly business. 01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:40.000 And NRG looking like the dangerous lower bracket team that they are. 01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:44.080 I think into the quarterfinals, I believe NRG do play the winner or the loser, excuse 01:35:44.080 --> 01:35:51.680 me of Virtus.Pro and Space Station so good luck to either of those teams but NRG moving on 01:35:52.800 --> 01:35:58.720 in the playoffs as all of us are surely not surprised. Definitely not at all. I think the 01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:04.640 anything that was the most surprising of the entire series overall was the fact that SB 01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:09.200 was able to get more than one game and at times kept me close enough that you thought maybe 01:36:09.200 --> 01:36:12.140 It could have gone to three, but at the end of the day, 01:36:12.140 --> 01:36:14.480 NRG's adaptation and whatever Saf 01:36:14.480 --> 01:36:16.680 he called on that timeout was just too much. 01:36:22.680 --> 01:36:24.880 Oh, now this guy's going that way. 01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:26.480 Now I'm getting the lay of the land. 01:36:26.480 --> 01:36:29.200 Now l8s can be a big test for a young homeowner 01:36:29.200 --> 01:36:30.460 turning into their parents. 01:36:30.460 --> 01:36:32.320 There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity. 01:36:32.320 --> 01:36:34.860 If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary. 01:36:34.860 --> 01:36:36.100 He said if the garage is full, 01:36:36.100 --> 01:36:37.800 they'd go to the overflow lot. 01:36:37.800 --> 01:36:38.840 I heard them out right here. 01:36:38.840 --> 01:36:40.040 Let's just stand quietly. 01:36:42.140 --> 01:36:44.340 I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh? 01:36:44.340 --> 01:36:46.640 Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, 01:36:46.640 --> 01:36:48.740 but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. 01:36:48.740 --> 01:36:50.240 I think you might have brought the wrong car. 01:36:50.240 --> 01:36:51.740 We had the red convertible. 01:39:38.840 --> 01:39:40.840 It's not like you can never run 01:39:40.840 --> 01:39:42.840 You won't be able to see 01:39:42.840 --> 01:39:44.840 Where I find 01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:47.840 Stars 01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:48.840 We can't see 01:39:48.840 --> 01:39:50.840 You'll never 01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:51.840 Get it to you 01:39:51.840 --> 01:39:52.840 You'll never run 01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:54.840 Get it on your feet 01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:56.840 It was bone dry 01:39:56.840 --> 01:39:58.840 It was bone dry 01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:14.760 I was the star with the red seat and that line 01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:16.840 The best thing we can ever write 01:41:16.840 --> 01:41:20.840 The only thing we can say, we're up for the ride 01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:26.840 The stars we can see, and that line 01:41:26.840 --> 01:41:28.840 The future we're gonna never want 01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:30.840 Feel it on our feet 01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:34.840 It was bone drive, it was bone drive 01:42:08.840 --> 01:42:34.200 Welcome back to the Rocket League Championship Series. 01:42:34.200 --> 01:42:37.200 North American open number five run, the playoff Saturday. 01:42:37.200 --> 01:42:43.160 We got through our first best of seven and it wasn't quite the sweep that the desk may have thought it would have been and RG 01:42:43.160 --> 01:42:45.080 Do take down strictly business 01:42:45.080 --> 01:42:50.600 But it was a fight to get there and talk about that victory that did ultimately come for energy 01:42:50.600 --> 01:42:54.960 We have saffi here. Saffi congratulations on the win. Thanks, Leif. I appreciate it. I 01:42:56.120 --> 01:43:01.320 Do want to mention the Yetz it well obviously wasn't an easy 4-0 or anything 01:43:01.320 --> 01:43:03.440 There was a fight that had to be had there 01:43:03.440 --> 01:43:07.440 Were you surprised by what Strictly Business was bringing to the field? 01:43:07.440 --> 01:43:12.440 Not entirely. We actually respect them as a team. We think they're a good team. 01:43:12.440 --> 01:43:16.440 They have a lot of experience in that roster. Wave has been around for forever. 01:43:16.440 --> 01:43:22.440 Aqua, despite being considered a prize, has also been around for a little bit. 01:43:22.440 --> 01:43:25.440 Austin, their coach, has been around for forever. 01:43:25.440 --> 01:43:32.440 No, we weren't surprised. I think we maybe came out just a bit too slow, honestly. 01:43:32.440 --> 01:43:36.560 Well, this I want to bring that back to the rest of the weekend, then I'm not going to 01:43:36.560 --> 01:43:40.360 ask a question, but rather just pose you with a statement of it's been interesting. 01:43:40.360 --> 01:43:42.360 What's your take? 01:43:42.360 --> 01:43:44.720 Yeah, I mean the Virtus. 01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:49.240 Series, I think, you know, if anyone was watching that, I think we were very much in the driver's 01:43:49.240 --> 01:43:56.000 seat. Some things just don't go your way on the day. We conceded a late goal in game four 01:43:56.000 --> 01:43:59.800 and then lost that OT and then game five. We had lots of opportunities in regulation 01:43:59.800 --> 01:44:02.440 and unfortunately, you just didn't pull it out. 01:44:02.440 --> 01:44:04.640 And that's just the way the game goes sometimes. 01:44:04.640 --> 01:44:06.360 I wasn't necessarily unhappy with our play, 01:44:06.360 --> 01:44:08.480 so I thought it was fun. 01:44:08.480 --> 01:44:09.320 It just happens. 01:44:09.320 --> 01:44:11.480 Yeah, at the end of the day, you're here still, right? 01:44:11.480 --> 01:44:14.360 It matters that you get to the grand finals 01:44:14.360 --> 01:44:15.200 and then win that. 01:44:15.200 --> 01:44:17.400 How you get there can look different each time. 01:44:17.400 --> 01:44:20.680 But I am curious if you ever have to kind of step in 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:23.440 at any points, we see the laughs and smiles 01:44:23.440 --> 01:44:26.160 that's important, but does it ever get to the point 01:44:26.160 --> 01:44:27.960 where it gets a little too out of control 01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:31.580 and it gets to lacks, you maybe have to slap some risks? 01:44:31.580 --> 01:44:33.240 Yeah, definitely. 01:44:33.240 --> 01:44:35.920 There's moments where I have to come in and definitely 01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:38.560 take on a more mental side of things 01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:42.560 where it's not really having to do with tactics or anything. 01:44:42.560 --> 01:44:45.080 Just needs different intensity, different energy. 01:44:45.080 --> 01:44:47.400 But actually, in our reverse sweep yesterday, 01:44:47.400 --> 01:44:50.000 Atomic did a really good job in rallying the guys. 01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:53.880 So I'll give him the credit for that yesterday. 01:44:53.880 --> 01:44:56.400 And that was also just a very hard situation 01:44:56.400 --> 01:45:01.720 coming off that series against Mertus and immediately having to play a team like next 01:45:01.720 --> 01:45:06.520 to new who just came off a win. It's a very difficult position to come out of. So happy 01:45:06.520 --> 01:45:07.520 we pulled it off. 01:45:07.520 --> 01:45:12.320 Yeah. No, I was kind of answering my question too. I was going to ask if do they self-regulate 01:45:12.320 --> 01:45:15.880 sometimes in the game? And it sounds like a topic stepped up yesterday to do that. 01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:18.880 And just a quick thought, I guess overall before I let you go on, on I guess the 01:45:18.880 --> 01:45:23.360 North American region overall, you've heard a million discussions, obviously. I'm sure 01:45:23.360 --> 01:45:26.040 you guys, brush them off from your perspective. 01:45:26.040 --> 01:45:28.120 Well, where do you think the North American landscape is 01:45:28.120 --> 01:45:31.440 right now, the fact that teams like Next to New and VPR 01:45:31.440 --> 01:45:34.640 are taking these series really close? 01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:38.000 The thing is, that's kind of been happening over the past 01:45:38.000 --> 01:45:39.000 couple of seasons. 01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:41.920 It's really just what happens when we actually get to land. 01:45:41.920 --> 01:45:44.360 I'm excited to see foot, fingers crossed that they 01:45:44.360 --> 01:45:45.920 do make land, because I think they're actually 01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:48.080 playing very good Rocket League. 01:45:48.080 --> 01:45:49.960 Obviously, they had kind of a shaky day yesterday 01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:51.560 with Next to New as well. 01:45:51.560 --> 01:45:54.580 But I think they're very promising. 01:45:54.580 --> 01:45:56.960 And Nessa, she obviously seemed to have 01:45:56.960 --> 01:45:58.620 been a better spot than what they were. 01:45:58.620 --> 01:46:04.340 So yeah, so I think we just got to see what happens that way. 01:46:04.340 --> 01:46:06.940 And I really, there's nothing to say yet. 01:46:06.940 --> 01:46:08.100 Yeah, that's fair enough. 01:46:08.100 --> 01:46:09.700 But I'm not going to make you say anything more. 01:46:09.700 --> 01:46:10.740 Saf, congratulations. 01:46:10.740 --> 01:46:12.060 You got the win you're looking for. 01:46:12.060 --> 01:46:13.500 And we'll see you tomorrow. 01:46:13.500 --> 01:46:15.660 Thanks, X. 01:46:15.660 --> 01:46:16.660 Hey. 01:46:16.660 --> 01:46:20.700 That was, again, I think what we expected, 01:46:20.700 --> 01:46:22.620 You know, there's a he believes in the team. 01:46:22.620 --> 01:46:23.700 I got Jorbey and her. 01:46:23.700 --> 01:46:25.980 You know, Jorbey, you have to believe in the team. 01:46:25.980 --> 01:46:30.100 He's coached so such a veteran, the scene with incredible players here. 01:46:30.580 --> 01:46:32.780 You just got to rely on them sometimes to make the right calls. 01:46:33.220 --> 01:46:36.700 Yeah, energy, you know, have the confidence they've been here before. 01:46:36.700 --> 01:46:40.100 They've been in the spots before and they've overcome those tough spots time 01:46:40.100 --> 01:46:42.740 and again. So you even saw it here when strictly business went up to one 01:46:42.740 --> 01:46:46.700 in the series, they call a timeout energy just look completely unfazed. 01:46:46.700 --> 01:46:48.620 They knew that they would be able to adapt. 01:46:48.620 --> 01:46:50.340 They knew what they had to do for the sauce. 01:46:50.340 --> 01:46:55.460 And strictly business I really don't understand what happened in the second half of this series 01:46:55.460 --> 01:47:01.940 because they were doing so much better at playing the pitch and stealing the blues, getting good 01:47:01.940 --> 01:47:07.220 bumps and creating great plays. Aqua at the beginning of this series was doing great 01:47:07.220 --> 01:47:14.580 solo wise to open up space but then NRG switched up on them. They stopped going for the super 01:47:14.580 --> 01:47:20.100 aggressive. Every like backboard read is a shot or every pass here is going to be immediately 01:47:20.100 --> 01:47:24.860 on target, they just started playing keep away and started pulling strictly business around 01:47:24.860 --> 01:47:29.260 like they were tow truck. I just like there was nothing there was nothing to do about it. 01:47:29.260 --> 01:47:32.060 And they were like diving and stuff. They were double committing. They were making so 01:47:32.060 --> 01:47:37.100 many more errors on their own on top of it. So it just felt like they really didn't know 01:47:37.100 --> 01:47:42.540 how to readjust and get back into some kind of stable rotation. I just felt like things 01:47:42.540 --> 01:47:46.700 compound the compound effects were just too much for strictly business. Yeah, we as 01:47:46.700 --> 01:47:47.840 as we look at the bracket 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.140 where we stand now, obviously NRG's the only team 01:47:50.140 --> 01:47:50.980 moved forward here. 01:47:50.980 --> 01:47:54.660 They are a team that's so incredibly aware 01:47:54.660 --> 01:47:56.500 and we were just talking about this in the break 01:47:56.500 --> 01:47:58.700 about how they understand when they need to maybe 01:47:58.700 --> 01:48:00.700 have those pace changes. 01:48:00.700 --> 01:48:01.540 Mm-hmm. 01:48:01.540 --> 01:48:04.820 Yeah, no, NRG I think is one of the best teams 01:48:04.820 --> 01:48:06.020 in the world out there. 01:48:06.020 --> 01:48:09.700 Probably, honestly outside like KC, 01:48:09.700 --> 01:48:11.860 there's so many plays in the playbook 01:48:11.860 --> 01:48:14.660 for this NRG squad to pull out 01:48:14.660 --> 01:48:17.660 And that is what has allowed them to have so many wins, 01:48:17.660 --> 01:48:19.260 especially against teams like Strictly Business 01:48:19.260 --> 01:48:20.380 that come in so hot. 01:48:20.380 --> 01:48:21.740 Well, that's one best of seven down. 01:48:21.740 --> 01:48:23.060 We've got three more to get through 01:48:23.060 --> 01:48:25.340 on our playoff Saturday. 01:48:25.340 --> 01:48:28.140 So maybe, maybe her called just talking here 01:48:28.140 --> 01:48:29.940 because we've got Dignitas count up 01:48:29.940 --> 01:48:32.740 against Genji mobile one racing. 01:48:32.740 --> 01:48:33.900 Oh, okay. 01:48:33.900 --> 01:48:36.260 Well, those of you probably didn't expect 01:48:36.260 --> 01:48:37.900 to see Dignitas up here, 01:48:37.900 --> 01:48:41.620 but I will say they have not looked bad 01:48:41.620 --> 01:48:44.100 as a recent Dignitas are starting 01:48:44.100 --> 01:48:46.100 to play. So, um, I think 01:48:46.100 --> 01:48:48.100 he's a good player. He's a 01:48:48.100 --> 01:48:50.100 great player. I think he's a 01:48:50.100 --> 01:48:52.100 really fun. They're footing 01:48:52.100 --> 01:48:54.100 again. Bora really has been 01:48:54.100 --> 01:48:55.100 this young gun player for the 01:48:55.100 --> 01:48:56.100 squad that if you haven't had 01:48:56.100 --> 01:48:58.100 the chance to watch him play 01:48:58.100 --> 01:49:00.100 yet, get excited. He is so 01:49:00.100 --> 01:49:01.100 much fun. Evo is really 01:49:01.100 --> 01:49:02.100 starting to get into his own 01:49:02.100 --> 01:49:04.100 now as a leader for this 01:49:04.100 --> 01:49:05.100 team. Then, of course, you 01:49:05.100 --> 01:49:07.100 round out with five up who's 01:49:07.100 --> 01:49:09.100 had a shaky season. I will 01:49:09.100 --> 01:49:10.100 say like if you're honest 01:49:10.100 --> 01:49:12.100 with yourself, it has been 01:49:12.100 --> 01:49:17.680 Boston so they're trying to you know really get things together to give themselves a fighting chance for Paris 01:49:17.680 --> 01:49:23.960 Yeah, but of course we look at their opponent in the other side Jorby with Genji mobile one racing and that you know 01:49:23.960 --> 01:49:29.320 This isn't a team that you can count out. I mean there's some veteran players here too. Hmm. I mean 01:49:30.240 --> 01:49:32.240 this team has not looked great and 01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:38.800 This is like this is it for them this regional and we're as especially he's been he's been he's been 01:49:38.800 --> 01:49:43.160 the talking point of this team and finally enough the rises fall off as 01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:51.060 Has been I think shocking for a lot of people that magic bears kind of fallen or has kind of gone under the radar with how much 01:49:51.060 --> 01:49:56.760 He's also falling off magic bear. It has under 50% goal participation 01:49:56.760 --> 01:49:58.520 He's not being that 01:49:58.520 --> 01:50:04.360 Facilitator that we that we know that he can be when we've seen Gen G's highs when we see magic bear's highs 01:50:04.360 --> 01:50:11.460 It's when he's in the center of their rotation, but it has not been there. Their defense has been questionable and 01:50:11.960 --> 01:50:15.000 It comes down to can you can you be a cohesive unit? 01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:19.400 Are the comms gonna be good for both of these teams? It's defense 01:50:19.400 --> 01:50:24.920 I think that while Bora he's been very fun to watch on offense defense is his weakness 01:50:24.920 --> 01:50:29.200 He gets caught in bad positions a lot. And so if I'm Gen G 01:50:29.200 --> 01:50:35.160 I'm looking at how can I make Dignitas as uncomfortable? How can I make Bora uncomfortable in this game? 01:50:35.160 --> 01:50:38.680 And funnily enough Burke says that five up to the problem of this team 01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:44.100 Yet if you had to pick who leads statistically in almost every major category on this team 01:50:44.100 --> 01:50:50.480 You'd probably think Bora, but it's five up leading in every statistical category for this team in score 01:50:50.480 --> 01:50:56.420 Very good goals per game shots and demos and goal participation at six sixty nine almost seventy percent 01:50:56.420 --> 01:51:01.460 what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna 01:51:01.460 --> 01:51:03.460 go for it. I'm gonna go for 01:51:03.460 --> 01:51:05.600 it. Uh, you know, you're 01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:07.300 probably this number. You made 01:51:07.300 --> 01:51:08.660 a case. Well you made you made 01:51:08.660 --> 01:51:10.140 a case. So let's see what 01:51:10.140 --> 01:51:11.300 that chat saying with a 01:51:11.300 --> 01:51:12.900 progressive fan, but it's our 01:51:12.900 --> 01:51:14.340 term to get our predictions 01:51:14.340 --> 01:51:15.880 on the board now. Who do we 01:51:15.880 --> 01:51:17.540 think is going to win this 01:51:17.540 --> 01:51:19.020 one? Let's flip the one down 01:51:19.020 --> 01:51:20.220 there on her already. We all 01:51:20.220 --> 01:51:23.620 know where that's gonna go. 01:51:23.620 --> 01:51:28.420 a pink jersey for me, and take my bias. 01:51:28.420 --> 01:51:29.980 I do actually want that jersey. 01:51:29.980 --> 01:51:31.180 It's pretty legit. 01:51:31.180 --> 01:51:32.780 JRP, what do you say? 01:51:32.780 --> 01:51:34.380 What do you say on this matchup here? 01:51:34.380 --> 01:51:38.620 Well, despite the offensive or the defensive issues 01:51:38.620 --> 01:51:42.140 for Bora on defense, Genji also on defense, not very good. 01:51:42.140 --> 01:51:44.060 They don't allow many shots, but they 01:51:44.060 --> 01:51:47.660 let a lot of shots go in that do come their way. 01:51:47.660 --> 01:51:50.340 And I think Dignitas have a very good offense. 01:51:50.340 --> 01:51:52.300 I think it's going to be too much here for Genji. 01:51:52.300 --> 01:51:54.260 I think Dignitas take this one. 01:51:54.260 --> 01:51:58.140 I am going to make her hate me by cursing the team, 01:51:58.140 --> 01:52:00.580 because I believe in Bota, I believe, 01:52:00.580 --> 01:52:02.540 I mean, you saw him at that number one play. 01:52:02.540 --> 01:52:04.540 There's a reason I agree that offense 01:52:04.540 --> 01:52:06.460 is super strong right now. 01:52:06.460 --> 01:52:07.500 Do I think it's gonna be close? 01:52:07.500 --> 01:52:08.500 Absolutely. 01:52:08.500 --> 01:52:09.340 I do. 01:52:09.340 --> 01:52:10.740 Don't think it's gonna be an absolute blowout here. 01:52:10.740 --> 01:52:14.020 I believe in the players on Gen G as well. 01:52:14.020 --> 01:52:16.620 Like I said, it looks like Chat also going Dignitas. 01:52:16.620 --> 01:52:17.460 Let's see what happens. 01:52:17.460 --> 01:52:19.140 We got a best of seven on the docket. 01:52:19.140 --> 01:52:20.540 This is elimination. 01:52:20.540 --> 01:52:23.500 Only one team gets to continue their journey here 01:52:23.500 --> 01:52:26.480 in the open number five in North America playoffs. 01:52:26.480 --> 01:52:29.980 Is it going to be Dignitas or is it going to be Gen.G? 01:52:36.420 --> 01:52:39.340 Dignitas and Gen.G staring each other down 01:52:39.340 --> 01:52:41.880 and they are in a tight race currently 01:52:41.880 --> 01:52:45.700 within one point of each other on the overall ranking. 01:52:45.700 --> 01:52:47.660 But this is a key matchup, Dazrin. 01:52:47.660 --> 01:52:49.460 It's a long shot to make Paris. 01:52:49.460 --> 01:52:51.920 It's a long shot to make worlds, but you know, 01:52:51.920 --> 01:52:53.880 one of these teams could make a miracle run, 01:52:53.880 --> 01:52:56.040 but we'll have to go through the other. 01:52:56.040 --> 01:52:58.560 Here we go, Gigi versus Dignitas. 01:52:58.560 --> 01:53:00.200 Game one brought to you by the press 01:53:00.200 --> 01:53:01.200 between these two teams. 01:53:01.200 --> 01:53:03.440 Like you said, James, the world to Paris, 01:53:03.440 --> 01:53:07.280 there has been a little bit of gaps here in North America. 01:53:07.280 --> 01:53:09.080 Both teams trying to push their way 01:53:09.080 --> 01:53:11.120 to the conversation already. 01:53:11.120 --> 01:53:13.320 Nice shot there by you called to start us off, 01:53:13.320 --> 01:53:16.560 but Dignitas have been inconsistent. 01:53:16.560 --> 01:53:19.200 Gigi, definitely, we've had plenty of conversations 01:53:19.200 --> 01:53:24.800 about them. That's about who can really rise to the occasion and win the life of the brightest team. 01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:27.600 A head-to-head matchup kind of shows you who has the edge over the other. 01:53:27.600 --> 01:53:32.300 Now that we have seen this matchup before, Dignitas getting the better of Gen G before. 01:53:32.300 --> 01:53:35.800 A little bit different this time. 01:53:35.800 --> 01:53:40.000 Gen G has looked to be making a little bit of progress. 01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:43.400 If you have possession here, Magic Fair going for a backboard pass. 01:53:43.400 --> 01:53:45.320 Frost is trying to play keep away. 01:53:45.320 --> 01:53:46.280 Warrick getting hit. 01:53:46.280 --> 01:53:49.160 Going for the double boards in the hide by Ryze. 01:53:49.160 --> 01:53:51.120 Great stop from Ryze. 01:53:51.120 --> 01:53:52.680 Then like I said, great stop from Ryze. 01:53:52.680 --> 01:53:54.320 He able to shut that down. 01:53:54.320 --> 01:53:56.200 Ryze again, takes his time. 01:53:56.200 --> 01:53:58.920 He doesn't have to really rush the touch or rush the 01:53:58.920 --> 01:54:00.840 challenge and just knows exactly where the 01:54:00.840 --> 01:54:01.480 double's going. 01:54:01.480 --> 01:54:03.480 That's the experience right there, James. 01:54:03.480 --> 01:54:06.200 Yeah, that was his closure. 01:54:06.200 --> 01:54:08.560 Warrick. 01:54:08.560 --> 01:54:11.600 When Evo was trying to stop Ryze, Ryze clanging one off 01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:15.600 the post that went narrowly missing out. 01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:18.560 Good chances on both ends of the pitch. 01:54:18.560 --> 01:54:20.200 Even though we're early and gave one dad, 01:54:20.200 --> 01:54:23.080 it looks like they are well matched against one another. 01:54:23.080 --> 01:54:26.200 How it feels, I mean, JG so far a little bit more spread out. 01:54:26.200 --> 01:54:28.600 Not over committing on offense too much. 01:54:28.600 --> 01:54:31.680 Look at this for Ryze, wanting to keep the pressure. 01:54:31.680 --> 01:54:34.480 Doesn't feel like there's much hesitation on the side of JG. 01:54:34.480 --> 01:54:36.360 They look comfortable. 01:54:36.360 --> 01:54:39.120 Meanwhile, for Dignitas, had a couple of close opportunities 01:54:39.120 --> 01:54:42.720 early but no consistent pressure out of them. Both teams have just been taking turns 01:54:42.720 --> 01:54:43.920 throwing shots at each other. 01:54:44.920 --> 01:54:48.720 It was nice form from Bora, but he only had that nice first touch. 01:54:48.720 --> 01:54:51.820 Threatened a double tap, it was just that Ryze had read it so well. 01:54:51.820 --> 01:54:54.520 Now on the other end, Gen. G trying to score. 01:54:55.020 --> 01:54:58.120 Frosty denied on that shot Ryze, tipping the pass to the middle. 01:54:58.120 --> 01:55:03.020 Bobbuff, barely keeping this out. Ryze was looking for a pass over to Frosty, but it was intercepted. 01:55:03.020 --> 01:55:09.820 The ball is keeping it close, gets passed to, and look at Frosty, just great read on the 01:55:09.820 --> 01:55:13.820 play, no chance to jump there, doesn't want to get more time, put it on the 3-2-1, now 01:55:13.820 --> 01:55:18.420 Brog, again looking for the double, he goes, he goes, he goes, get the top, he's right, 01:55:18.420 --> 01:55:23.220 he can't get it to follow, wants to keep it in, but now J.J. got to play some defense. 01:55:23.220 --> 01:55:27.740 For Farcable defense from Eva, he actually got fumped, he was on the back, but still 01:55:27.740 --> 01:55:33.660 fought through the contact to get the stuff. That was a very challenging decision for Kiko. 01:55:33.660 --> 01:55:37.740 Somehow managed to get the job done. Great stuff from Eva. 01:55:39.740 --> 01:55:47.260 I'm behind the cross. I see Magi Bear in good control. A lot of people live on Magi Bear. 01:55:47.260 --> 01:55:52.780 This is big. I want to see him elevate to the potential of being on the floor. 01:55:52.780 --> 01:55:54.780 Don't forget to... 01:55:54.780 --> 01:55:58.780 It has been tough, not only for him, but for Genji as Ryze! 01:55:58.780 --> 01:56:01.780 Get a fake chance here, Bora! Try to call him out on it! 01:56:01.780 --> 01:56:04.780 Bora going for that shot, nice and frosty, 01:56:04.780 --> 01:56:06.780 offer a backward pass to Ryze. 01:56:06.780 --> 01:56:09.780 Very risky, Bora's gonna try to get back to it, gets the touch! 01:56:09.780 --> 01:56:11.780 Open net goal! 01:56:11.780 --> 01:56:15.780 And all in play from Genji, and it blows up in their face! 01:56:15.780 --> 01:56:20.780 Yep, big all-in-play Ryze wanted to keep it in heavily. 01:56:20.780 --> 01:56:25.580 Lost the 50 there against Bora, and Dignitas strike first, 01:56:25.580 --> 01:56:29.420 finally, of Bora's fourth shot of the game. 01:56:29.420 --> 01:56:31.020 And he has been looking good. 01:56:31.020 --> 01:56:35.380 I mean, as you saw, the skim touch off the side while double. 01:56:35.380 --> 01:56:40.340 And even the double tap that he went for, Bora is off point. 01:56:40.340 --> 01:56:43.620 He is not missing a touch. 01:56:43.620 --> 01:56:46.860 It seems like everything going exactly as planned for Bora, 01:56:46.860 --> 01:56:50.100 and even Evo making that crazy stop defensively, 01:56:50.100 --> 01:56:51.780 This Dignitoss team is a real threat. 01:56:52.940 --> 01:56:57.100 Bora, on top of the ball, had our top play of the day yesterday. 01:56:58.500 --> 01:57:00.380 Now look at maybe create another. 01:57:01.020 --> 01:57:03.220 You can go on how this year we spelled Genji, 01:57:03.300 --> 01:57:05.820 fell in the finest, crossing plays into the corner, 01:57:05.900 --> 01:57:08.580 Fibon gonna pick this one up now, has Bora midfield, 01:57:08.660 --> 01:57:10.340 gives it to Bora, Bora going high, 01:57:10.420 --> 01:57:12.980 came for the double and also went for the top right. 01:57:13.060 --> 01:57:14.460 Very missed there from Bora. 01:57:15.380 --> 01:57:16.860 There's a beautiful setup for Fibon. 01:57:16.940 --> 01:57:18.740 Missed for freeplay as well, isn't it? 01:57:18.740 --> 01:57:22.020 Of course, Dignitoppe used up a lot of extra boosts. 01:57:22.020 --> 01:57:24.900 But Mora had such a good first touch, 01:57:24.900 --> 01:57:27.980 was not able to find that shot on target. 01:57:27.980 --> 01:57:29.260 Oh, the shot. 01:57:29.260 --> 01:57:30.220 Contested. 01:57:30.220 --> 01:57:31.620 Frosty going for a pass. 01:57:31.620 --> 01:57:34.020 Magic Bear jumps for it, as well as 01:57:34.020 --> 01:57:36.780 rise with the shot, not on target there either. 01:57:36.780 --> 01:57:40.300 And then again, another ball in play on this hide of Gen.G. 01:57:40.300 --> 01:57:41.060 I get it. 01:57:41.060 --> 01:57:42.260 Time is ticking down. 01:57:42.260 --> 01:57:44.460 30 seconds remaining here in regulation. 01:57:44.460 --> 01:57:46.060 But Gen.G have to be careful. 01:57:46.060 --> 01:57:47.260 They let the white man this. 01:57:47.260 --> 01:57:49.580 It could be all but Ulter Frosty up the ladder, 01:57:49.580 --> 01:57:51.740 has Magic Bear waiting on the side. 01:57:51.740 --> 01:57:53.420 Most fears are a button to the Magic Bear 01:57:53.420 --> 01:57:56.060 and the Bear gets it to the bottom left. 01:57:56.060 --> 01:57:57.500 And you love this from Frosty. 01:57:57.500 --> 01:58:01.020 Frosty threatens the attack, gets the nice touch, 01:58:01.020 --> 01:58:04.540 good go for a reset, and that goes for a bump up five up. 01:58:04.540 --> 01:58:06.340 The Hagrid's in its plate trusts 01:58:06.340 --> 01:58:09.180 that Magic Bear will be there for the shot 01:58:09.180 --> 01:58:11.020 and a slot from M.B. 01:58:13.020 --> 01:58:15.100 Now time of game. 01:58:15.100 --> 01:58:16.500 JG fine light. 01:58:16.500 --> 01:58:17.300 Thanks for Frosty. 01:58:17.300 --> 01:58:18.560 Match bear demo's a one. 01:58:18.560 --> 01:58:21.460 Frosty can't get it past five up. 01:58:21.460 --> 01:58:23.260 Rise now into the center. 01:58:23.260 --> 01:58:24.220 It's kind of laying. 01:58:24.220 --> 01:58:25.460 Chance for counterattacks. 01:58:25.460 --> 01:58:27.700 Dignitas, Evo, play the low. 01:58:27.700 --> 01:58:30.140 Match bear's to the side to get another touch. 01:58:30.140 --> 01:58:31.900 Evo plays the quick beat. 01:58:31.900 --> 01:58:33.060 Frosty plays the close. 01:58:33.060 --> 01:58:36.140 Are they looking for the ground or in her steps? 01:58:36.140 --> 01:58:37.700 Dignitas keep it up. 01:58:37.700 --> 01:58:40.940 And they're gonna try to strike here at zero seconds. 01:58:40.940 --> 01:58:43.620 This one into the corner and it will fall. 01:58:43.620 --> 01:58:44.740 We've got overtime. 01:58:44.740 --> 01:58:45.580 Game one. 01:58:48.340 --> 01:58:49.580 Well matched. 01:58:49.580 --> 01:58:51.940 It seems like Genji's had more possession to ask, 01:58:51.940 --> 01:58:55.900 but the defense have been there for Dignitas. 01:58:55.900 --> 01:58:58.700 Now, a chance across the all alone, 01:58:58.700 --> 01:59:00.300 so well that he's set out. 01:59:02.020 --> 01:59:03.060 Looking to try their hand, 01:59:03.060 --> 01:59:05.380 but Hibo shuts it down again, forcing Ryze up. 01:59:06.540 --> 01:59:09.180 Ryze though, he's gonna stick with this one. 01:59:09.180 --> 01:59:10.980 What's the play close to hitting D? 01:59:10.980 --> 01:59:12.580 This is a great follow from Magic, 01:59:12.580 --> 01:59:14.980 They're five of us with a little awkward. 01:59:14.980 --> 01:59:17.020 PgG can work with his no frosty. 01:59:17.020 --> 01:59:19.180 We haven't seen him with too much individual possession. 01:59:19.180 --> 01:59:21.820 He's so threatening when he gets on the air. 01:59:21.820 --> 01:59:24.220 Right now, Gingotas doing a great job of stopping him. 01:59:27.580 --> 01:59:28.420 Not a provide. 01:59:28.420 --> 01:59:29.140 This is dangerous. 01:59:29.140 --> 01:59:32.060 Frosty going for the double and it's gone. 01:59:32.060 --> 01:59:34.500 A perfect double tap for Frosty. 01:59:34.500 --> 01:59:36.700 Well, one get no overtime. 01:59:36.700 --> 01:59:38.780 Exciting game one deaths. 01:59:38.780 --> 01:59:40.820 I mean, that's a great win. 01:59:40.820 --> 01:59:47.940 I said it earlier, Frosty with time, he's so effective, so sharp. 01:59:47.940 --> 01:59:52.260 But he gets that face and he's struck for Gen.G. 01:59:52.260 --> 01:59:55.300 Gen.G now with the game of one here, 01:59:55.300 --> 01:59:58.060 get the pass, with a lot of early offense, 01:59:58.060 --> 02:00:00.980 James the set to 10-fold, couldn't keep it consistent. 02:00:00.980 --> 02:00:04.220 And you can see Gen.G really connects with the end of the game. 02:00:04.220 --> 02:00:07.900 And the one goal that they let in, it rise with the last back. 02:00:07.900 --> 02:00:08.820 Didn't have much use. 02:00:08.820 --> 02:00:11.300 Nobody from Gen.G had much use. 02:00:11.300 --> 02:00:14.260 Ryze probably calculating, oh my god, stop this here, 02:00:14.260 --> 02:00:17.780 otherwise we're going to get scored on no matter what. 02:00:17.780 --> 02:00:20.580 Fidelin did work out. 02:00:20.580 --> 02:00:23.140 But then other than that, Gen.G looked quite good. 02:00:23.140 --> 02:00:25.980 You saw the beautiful defense from Ryze on the double 02:00:25.980 --> 02:00:29.020 tap for Bora early on in that game. 02:00:29.020 --> 02:00:32.820 The selfless play from Frosty going for that bump, 02:00:32.820 --> 02:00:35.380 clearing the path for Magic Bear. 02:00:35.380 --> 02:00:38.740 And you just think about the time on attack for Gen.G. 02:00:38.740 --> 02:00:41.180 They were the team with the possession 02:00:41.180 --> 02:00:43.180 and lots of good looks. 02:00:43.180 --> 02:00:45.880 And I mean, if I was putting channel points on the line 02:00:45.880 --> 02:00:48.380 right now, Gen.G is the type of quicker one. 02:00:49.380 --> 02:00:52.260 Yeah, you look really good right now. 02:00:52.260 --> 02:00:55.060 I mean, you feel like this is a team that, you know, 02:00:55.060 --> 02:00:57.140 has the pieces kind of on paper. 02:00:57.140 --> 02:00:58.460 They just haven't been able to put it together 02:00:58.460 --> 02:01:00.020 and make a full puzzle. 02:01:00.020 --> 02:01:01.820 But right now, the way that they're looking, 02:01:01.820 --> 02:01:02.900 they're looking kind of in form, 02:01:02.900 --> 02:01:04.420 it does feel like things are clicking, 02:01:04.420 --> 02:01:08.100 which can be dangerous for a team like Dignitas who's so very hot and cold. 02:01:08.100 --> 02:01:11.500 This one could get away from Dignitas early as we give him a game too. 02:01:11.500 --> 02:01:13.300 And even thinking back on that game, 02:01:13.300 --> 02:01:18.020 Orrha though he looked so good and many instances on that there was that one double tackle 02:01:18.020 --> 02:01:21.420 that he had, you know, got hit in the backboard. 02:01:21.420 --> 02:01:25.340 Was not able to put that shot on target maybe, he scores that. 02:01:25.340 --> 02:01:28.500 That could have been the big difference maker for Dignitas. 02:01:30.500 --> 02:01:33.420 So we'll see if Dignitas can bring things back. 02:01:33.420 --> 02:01:35.420 Genki will extend there. 02:01:36.420 --> 02:01:38.420 Frosty with some time here again. 02:01:39.420 --> 02:01:41.420 They're gonna get past one. 02:01:41.420 --> 02:01:43.420 He almost can say he's good for that. 02:01:43.420 --> 02:01:45.420 Oh, he can pass too with so little boost here. 02:01:46.420 --> 02:01:48.420 But now I'm gonna good position for Magic Bear Rise. 02:01:48.420 --> 02:01:50.420 We're trying to snipe a shot. 02:01:50.420 --> 02:01:52.420 Frosty though, back to follow up. 02:01:52.420 --> 02:01:54.420 Touching the rise and again, that pressure. 02:01:54.420 --> 02:01:57.420 Not enough for Genki to get the first one. 02:01:58.420 --> 02:02:00.420 Still enough to make you sweat with your Dignitas. 02:02:00.420 --> 02:02:01.420 It's Haas. 02:02:01.420 --> 02:02:04.900 Borah barely stopping that one. 02:02:04.900 --> 02:02:07.380 Now, war time on attack for Genji. 02:02:07.380 --> 02:02:10.220 Frosty with a bottom duo trying to work his way around. 02:02:10.220 --> 02:02:11.260 And Jikber will turn. 02:02:11.260 --> 02:02:12.220 Blocks it up. 02:02:12.220 --> 02:02:13.460 He'll... 02:02:13.460 --> 02:02:15.020 Borah in the corner. 02:02:15.020 --> 02:02:15.940 Around one. 02:02:15.940 --> 02:02:16.820 Borah, around two. 02:02:16.820 --> 02:02:18.220 Borah is cooking. 02:02:18.220 --> 02:02:19.820 Borah, reset. 02:02:19.820 --> 02:02:22.860 Walk to the back, it gets bumped. 02:02:22.860 --> 02:02:25.420 Dignitas trying to put this pressure on, 02:02:25.420 --> 02:02:27.420 but now Frosty will do a breakout. 02:02:27.420 --> 02:02:30.660 You can see the pace of playing it increasing a little bit. 02:02:30.660 --> 02:02:34.900 Teams are making sure no one slows down here. 02:02:34.900 --> 02:02:36.980 I feel like you're looking at Boran, 02:02:36.980 --> 02:02:38.700 you're looking at Frosty. 02:02:38.700 --> 02:02:41.140 If you air with time, that's when both these teams 02:02:41.140 --> 02:02:42.300 look the most dangerous. 02:02:42.300 --> 02:02:44.660 Ryze tries to clear it away to the side wall. 02:02:44.660 --> 02:02:46.860 Five picks it up, five up now on top, 02:02:46.860 --> 02:02:50.220 looking for the air dribble bump, and Frosty was ready. 02:02:50.220 --> 02:02:53.420 Still though, Dignitas with a lot of pressure here. 02:02:53.420 --> 02:02:55.780 As they are trying to see if they can get the first one 02:02:55.780 --> 02:02:59.940 of the game. Good clearance for Magic Bear as Gen-G now, 02:02:59.940 --> 02:03:01.540 going to get on the offensive plate. 02:03:03.540 --> 02:03:04.340 Dora... 02:03:05.620 --> 02:03:06.660 That was a project. 02:03:06.660 --> 02:03:08.260 Oh, also diving in on that ball. 02:03:09.380 --> 02:03:11.220 Dora trying to do as much as he can. 02:03:11.220 --> 02:03:12.900 Five up, going for the backboard. 02:03:13.620 --> 02:03:15.220 The backboard, pass, Evo up. 02:03:15.860 --> 02:03:17.860 Shot is blocked, Dora diving in. 02:03:17.860 --> 02:03:18.900 Nothing to get the best hit. 02:03:19.780 --> 02:03:22.020 He's fortunate that Frosty didn't have much to lose, 02:03:22.020 --> 02:03:23.780 otherwise that could have been disastrous for Dick. 02:03:23.780 --> 02:03:29.380 He's trying to see Dignitas connect them or he's going to pass, he's working out cleanly. 02:03:29.380 --> 02:03:31.180 Rossi goes up the ladder. 02:03:31.180 --> 02:03:33.180 He's got a magic bear with him. 02:03:33.180 --> 02:03:35.180 But the bear can't get involved. 02:03:35.180 --> 02:03:39.180 Even with JG, they are really comfortable with Ryze. 02:03:39.180 --> 02:03:42.680 And when he's that third man back, he's been able to just go. 02:03:42.680 --> 02:03:43.680 He doesn't stop. 02:03:43.680 --> 02:03:46.180 He drives to pick channels one time and gets one. 02:03:46.180 --> 02:03:47.680 He's trying to buy some time. 02:03:47.680 --> 02:03:49.180 Dignitas leaving for the shot. 02:03:49.180 --> 02:03:52.680 It just feels like they want to match Dignitas with the pressure here. 02:03:52.680 --> 02:03:59.680 We see two demos from Magic Bear to make the lead. 02:03:59.680 --> 02:04:03.680 The last one up, but he does get the stop. 02:04:03.680 --> 02:04:06.680 And Borat dives in, leaving five up last. 02:04:06.680 --> 02:04:11.680 Magic Bear off the ceiling, going for net, just high. 02:04:11.680 --> 02:04:14.680 Borat will dribble this out to the side where he's done by Ryder. 02:04:14.680 --> 02:04:15.680 Ryder trying to get the lead. 02:04:15.680 --> 02:04:18.680 Magic Bear there to help that one in. 02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:20.680 Gen G converts. 02:04:20.680 --> 02:04:26.100 What I want to challenge here too from Ryze, just stay on top of the ball to apply that pressure. 02:04:26.100 --> 02:04:31.520 No one's even looking at Magic because they're trying to track Ryze and Magic there just sneaks it in. 02:04:31.520 --> 02:04:35.920 First goal of the game two by J.G. Mobile 1. 02:04:35.920 --> 02:04:42.820 They are trying to ramp up here. Back to back game points here you don't expect the time out coming from dignitized. 02:04:42.820 --> 02:04:45.320 They have not been able to get on the board consistently. 02:04:45.320 --> 02:04:48.920 Now they haven't J.G. and we've been better than not there. 02:04:48.920 --> 02:04:56.600 Place now a demo fries going for net need so that the magic bearer double demo and this bill as well 02:04:57.080 --> 02:05:01.780 That's shot testing Dignitas to go. They're very low on boost as well 02:05:05.040 --> 02:05:08.860 Seems like Dignitas not been able to get their wheels under them 02:05:10.800 --> 02:05:15.240 It's got another hand they're looking good. Yeah, you're right. I mean they're keeping the ball close 02:05:15.240 --> 02:05:21.240 Whenever Gingotas, like right now, they have that ball on offense, but they can't do much with it. 02:05:21.240 --> 02:05:27.240 They just get away with it. They're trying to set up more passing and feel like they do have to still be careful. 02:05:27.240 --> 02:05:32.240 Gingotas definitely playing an aggressive game, and they're starting to take more risks on the ball. 02:05:32.240 --> 02:05:35.240 This is going to be a very shaky, especially with what Goldlee is. Very fragile. 02:05:35.240 --> 02:05:41.240 He's going to get the serve with a one goal lead. 02:05:41.240 --> 02:05:42.240 Mora up against Magic Fair. 02:05:42.240 --> 02:05:44.240 Magic Fair whizzing forward to rise, rise. 02:05:44.240 --> 02:05:46.240 Trying to catch it under dribble. 02:05:46.240 --> 02:05:47.240 Nice touch up. 02:05:47.240 --> 02:05:51.240 Frosty jumps early and he'll get beat to that ball. 02:05:51.240 --> 02:05:52.240 Devo. 02:05:52.240 --> 02:05:53.240 To close. 02:05:53.240 --> 02:05:54.240 Back down to the ground. 02:05:54.240 --> 02:05:57.240 Tipped away by Frosty and now Mora. 02:05:57.240 --> 02:05:59.240 Trying his hand off the ceiling and down. 02:05:59.240 --> 02:06:02.240 Goes for the shot and you can see. 02:06:02.240 --> 02:06:03.840 Again, blasted in that. 02:06:03.840 --> 02:06:05.340 He's a zik to get that stop. 02:06:07.340 --> 02:06:08.640 Touch there too. 02:06:08.640 --> 02:06:11.040 Bossy wants to pick it up. 02:06:11.040 --> 02:06:13.840 Bossy playing it close there, Steve-O. 02:06:13.840 --> 02:06:14.840 Passed to you, Steve-O. 02:06:14.840 --> 02:06:15.840 Very close with the ball. 02:06:15.840 --> 02:06:17.340 What's the late game for Ryze? 02:06:17.340 --> 02:06:18.840 Such a big win there. 02:06:18.840 --> 02:06:20.840 Steve-O back, Magic Bear gets the touch. 02:06:20.840 --> 02:06:22.140 Looks for the follow-on. 02:06:22.140 --> 02:06:23.740 Oh, the Bear again! 02:06:23.740 --> 02:06:25.340 Top right corner. 02:06:25.340 --> 02:06:27.940 And this is that team clap talking about Ryze 02:06:27.940 --> 02:06:30.240 hunting lands to bump on Bora 02:06:30.240 --> 02:06:34.240 And a beautiful touch from Magic Bear doesn't try to force the shot. 02:06:34.240 --> 02:06:38.880 Instead, just taps it off to the side, getting it up and over the oncoming defender, 02:06:38.880 --> 02:06:42.960 taking advantage of the space that Ryze's bump was able to create. 02:06:44.080 --> 02:06:46.240 Teamwork makes the dream work for Gen G. 02:06:47.280 --> 02:06:54.960 They've been so effective getting the ball up field and finishing on Magic Bear has been 02:06:54.960 --> 02:07:05.960 Not magic, nothing short of average here, he's done a great job to get these couple goals here for Gen-Gen. 02:07:05.960 --> 02:07:07.960 A shot out! 02:07:07.960 --> 02:07:16.960 I mean it's been, it's been surgical, it's, you know, the slow methodical breaking down in defense, utilizing those bumps from Ryze, Ryze. 02:07:16.960 --> 02:07:22.960 I mean he's not scoring goals, but his impact on the field is undeniable, being able to make those plays. 02:07:22.960 --> 02:07:26.240 Frosty also looking very good. 02:07:26.240 --> 02:07:29.520 I mean, Magic Bear scoring both of those goals, 02:07:29.520 --> 02:07:32.520 but it took a team effort. 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:34.440 You got a cool team effort. 02:07:34.440 --> 02:07:38.920 But I like what I saw out of not just Magic Bear, but also Ryze. 02:07:38.920 --> 02:07:41.680 He's been so involved in the plays with offensively 02:07:41.680 --> 02:07:42.920 and defensively. 02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:45.920 It does feel like he's been able to kind of get the game 02:07:45.920 --> 02:07:48.120 and play it around him in a way. 02:07:48.120 --> 02:07:49.880 You have the threat of Frosty constantly 02:07:49.880 --> 02:07:51.160 looming on the ball offensively, 02:07:51.160 --> 02:07:56.000 But Ryce was just so consistent with his fundamentals 02:07:56.000 --> 02:07:59.040 that he could really just make the play kind of revolve 02:07:59.040 --> 02:08:00.880 around what he's doing on the ball. 02:08:00.880 --> 02:08:04.040 Well, if both of those plays, the centerpiece of it 02:08:04.040 --> 02:08:05.440 was Ryce. 02:08:05.440 --> 02:08:07.940 Ryce getting the block on the sidewall, 02:08:07.940 --> 02:08:10.040 forcing that bounce down, that Magic Bear finished, 02:08:10.040 --> 02:08:11.320 then also the bump. 02:08:11.320 --> 02:08:13.120 But to Magic Bear's credit as well, 02:08:13.120 --> 02:08:15.280 Magic Bear in the right spot, able to clean those things 02:08:15.280 --> 02:08:15.880 up. 02:08:15.880 --> 02:08:18.960 And then for that second goal, beautiful chip 02:08:18.960 --> 02:08:22.960 over that oncoming defender who was trying to block the shot. 02:08:22.960 --> 02:08:24.760 Lovely composure. 02:08:24.760 --> 02:08:28.320 And I think the pressure, the composure, 02:08:28.320 --> 02:08:31.480 the methodical breakdown of Dignitas 02:08:31.480 --> 02:08:33.800 has forced Dignitas to call this time out. 02:08:33.800 --> 02:08:35.880 They're going to try to slow down this Gen-G train, 02:08:35.880 --> 02:08:38.320 but Gen-G has just looked, 02:08:38.320 --> 02:08:41.000 they've looked to be on the same wavelength Dazarin, 02:08:41.000 --> 02:08:44.600 and I think that has to be frightening for Dignitas, 02:08:44.600 --> 02:08:47.480 because we've seen Gen-G on the separate pages 02:08:47.480 --> 02:08:50.640 quite a bit. I mean, you watch Frosty trying to take the ball off a teammate 02:08:50.640 --> 02:08:54.320 taking a ball off of Frosty who loves to go for those individual mechanical 02:08:54.320 --> 02:08:58.800 plays. They just not seem to be on the same page. But this series, they have 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:03.560 been operating like a well oiled machine. Yeah. And now for dignitas, 02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:06.940 though, it starts to become a slippery slope here. If they can't get things 02:09:06.940 --> 02:09:11.260 together very soon, right? Gingy has the confidence they have their game 02:09:11.260 --> 02:09:15.040 plan and you can see them executing. But for dignitas, it's been 02:09:15.040 --> 02:09:20.640 flat. You've had a couple of chances in the first game of the series second game. The offense really 02:09:20.640 --> 02:09:26.080 felt like it was struggling James and I think if they it's one of the situations now they have to 02:09:26.080 --> 02:09:31.120 get together right here in this next game. Certainly you called it game one. We saw a lot 02:09:31.120 --> 02:09:36.560 of chances for Dignitas. It was Bora having a few feeds into the middle where he was able 02:09:36.560 --> 02:09:41.760 to go for those double tap opportunities didn't really see much of that at all. It was shut 02:09:41.760 --> 02:09:46.320 down by Gen G. Gen G winning those battles in the corner, winning those fights for possession, 02:09:46.320 --> 02:09:51.600 winning those boost races, not much success to point to if you're dignitas, but that's why you 02:09:51.600 --> 02:10:01.200 call the timeout. Got to reset, try to reverse the trajectory of this series. Will they be 02:10:01.200 --> 02:10:07.440 able to make the adjustments or will Gen G continue to be on a roll? The roll to Paris 02:10:07.440 --> 02:10:14.160 is hard and full of dangers. Both these teams want to book their ticket, but a series like 02:10:14.160 --> 02:10:18.880 this means so much. Can Dignitas get things together and try to turn the series around? 02:10:18.880 --> 02:10:25.200 I'm looking at the big picture. Beyond Paris to the World Championship as well. If there 02:10:25.200 --> 02:10:29.040 is a world that they make it through, this is their closest opponent. You know, Genji 02:10:29.040 --> 02:10:35.440 sitting at 17 points. Dignitas sitting at 16 points on the season. For both, 02:10:35.440 --> 02:10:45.120 Trail and Virtus Pro, we've got 38, so it's going to take a great run today, a great run in these opens, and then also nice performance at the major, but it's not impossible. 02:10:45.120 --> 02:10:50.640 But these are the series where you really cement your legacy and start pushing forward towards that dream. 02:10:51.840 --> 02:10:58.440 Mark, it's over, rise, rise. It's expecting it to play this close. Even this one says, T-Bow, you're going to 50 people. 02:10:58.440 --> 02:11:05.440 And now Frosty up early, five going up to challenge and ball D sent to Bora but not the best touch 02:11:05.440 --> 02:11:09.440 and Magic Bear put the shot on Evo and had to die to get that save. 02:11:09.440 --> 02:11:15.440 Defense from Evo, Bora bust off the ball Frosty going for a double was a bit too close to him 02:11:15.440 --> 02:11:21.440 but you see how destructive those bumps have been Magic Bear trying to land another one on five up. 02:11:21.440 --> 02:11:24.440 Dignitas has been left a real hit. 02:11:24.440 --> 02:11:26.440 Hit the cross, Stipitas will get intercepted here. 02:11:26.440 --> 02:11:28.440 Evo plays it, follows. 02:11:28.440 --> 02:11:30.440 It's a Bora, Bora shot through the middle 02:11:30.440 --> 02:11:32.440 and Ryze able to meet it again. 02:11:32.440 --> 02:11:35.440 Magic Bear with a big win and a better follow 02:11:35.440 --> 02:11:38.440 and it's going to be another one for Magic Bear. 02:11:38.440 --> 02:11:40.440 And this is almost a mirror of the, 02:11:40.440 --> 02:11:43.440 the goal that Gen.G led in when Ryze got dunked. 02:11:43.440 --> 02:11:45.440 This time Magic Bear gets the dunk. 02:11:45.440 --> 02:11:47.440 Doesn't even let the ball bounce. 02:11:47.440 --> 02:11:49.440 Gets the lightest of touches on it. 02:11:49.440 --> 02:11:52.440 Had barely enough boost to make that play, 02:11:52.440 --> 02:11:57.000 really punished five up for going for that aerial with not enough boost in the tank. 02:11:58.600 --> 02:12:05.080 We are seeing Magic Bear really level up in this series. 02:12:05.080 --> 02:12:09.720 Dignitas not having an answer for anything offensively. 02:12:09.720 --> 02:12:11.880 They're trying their best and it hasn't been good enough. 02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:13.560 EVO now wants to get one in. 02:12:13.560 --> 02:12:16.040 Here's the shot and Magic Bear is stopping. 02:12:16.040 --> 02:12:18.520 Get another B-forces baller back. 02:12:18.520 --> 02:12:22.840 Gen G, looking to move up, feel 5-up, picks this ball up, plays it low, 02:12:22.840 --> 02:12:25.000 has the flip, uses it to grab pinch, 02:12:25.000 --> 02:12:27.800 but Frosty there to stop him at the goal line. 02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:33.240 Now to another tally that these goal lines saved from Gen G. 02:12:33.240 --> 02:12:35.000 Continue to get these stops. 02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:37.080 5-up, self pass off the backboard, 02:12:37.080 --> 02:12:41.080 but you can see the bump, and now Rice couldn't get there in time. 02:12:41.080 --> 02:12:44.520 Dignitas can throw it on all that pressure. 02:12:44.520 --> 02:12:46.680 The pressure broke Gen G. 02:12:46.680 --> 02:12:49.400 Magic range up the way too early for that. 02:12:49.400 --> 02:12:50.840 World's able to play it around him 02:12:50.840 --> 02:12:53.560 and five of them just staying so close to the play. 02:12:53.560 --> 02:12:57.440 Gets an equalizer, dignitized still with some fight in him. 02:12:58.440 --> 02:12:59.600 Gets a five up. 02:12:59.600 --> 02:13:01.520 Going for that self pass. 02:13:01.520 --> 02:13:04.240 And the defense landing on the hood of his car. 02:13:04.240 --> 02:13:05.840 That's a helpful border though. 02:13:07.560 --> 02:13:09.080 Oh, that's a good one. 02:13:09.080 --> 02:13:10.680 Magic there with the shot and what? 02:13:10.680 --> 02:13:13.040 Five of them landed right there in time! 02:13:13.040 --> 02:13:19.040 But the bumps making things complicated for this Dignitas defense. 02:13:19.040 --> 02:13:22.040 Frosty going up again. 02:13:22.040 --> 02:13:23.040 Five up already there. 02:13:23.040 --> 02:13:26.040 Ryze will tap it up high. 02:13:26.040 --> 02:13:30.040 Corner stolen by Bora, but a beautiful defensive double tap by Ryze. 02:13:30.040 --> 02:13:33.040 However, on the re-spot, five up gets the ball and boost. 02:13:33.040 --> 02:13:36.040 I'm so on top of this play. 02:13:36.040 --> 02:13:38.040 Bora in there quickly. 02:13:38.040 --> 02:13:40.040 He goes so close right under him. 02:13:40.040 --> 02:13:44.040 No way for a roof. 50 there, so leaves it. 02:13:44.040 --> 02:13:46.040 There's five up. 02:13:46.040 --> 02:13:48.040 Now, taking in midfield.

02:15:31.960 --> 02:15:34.520 Five up, no, he's gonna play with the wall. 02:15:34.520 --> 02:15:36.440 And now time ticking down as Gigi 02:15:36.440 --> 02:15:39.400 wanna make a last second push, but they can't. 02:15:39.400 --> 02:15:42.440 Emo, hard off the side wall. 02:15:42.440 --> 02:15:43.720 Five up, it's a hand on it, 02:15:43.720 --> 02:15:46.200 but it's right to Frosty, Frosty. 02:15:46.200 --> 02:15:50.200 Oh, calling for a pause, mid play. 02:15:50.200 --> 02:15:52.480 So wow, it looks like Frosty 02:15:52.480 --> 02:15:53.720 was trying to kickstart something, 02:15:53.720 --> 02:15:56.640 but the pause comes out, so we'll wait to see 02:15:56.640 --> 02:15:59.160 What what the cause for the pause was? 02:16:01.400 --> 02:16:02.760 The awesome pause. 02:16:02.760 --> 02:16:08.640 Oh, I don't like this James, because now it's a kickoff with not that much time on the clock. 02:16:09.360 --> 02:16:12.480 And if you don't get a kickoff goal, it's enough time for a kickoff goal. 02:16:12.480 --> 02:16:15.160 But if you don't get one, you go into another kickoff. 02:16:15.680 --> 02:16:17.560 Yeah, on the clock. 02:16:17.560 --> 02:16:20.400 This is almost desk slam there. 02:16:21.000 --> 02:16:25.160 I can't imagine what the players feel like after a pause like that. 02:16:25.160 --> 02:16:33.360 But one thing I'll say, Daz, is the disruptor play style of Ryze 02:16:33.360 --> 02:16:35.440 has really been affected against Dignitas. 02:16:35.440 --> 02:16:38.640 Ryze has been in the mix getting these bumps, 02:16:38.640 --> 02:16:42.560 landing on them, putting Dignitas off kilter 02:16:42.560 --> 02:16:44.680 as they try to break out of their own half. 02:16:44.680 --> 02:16:45.840 It's been working brilliantly. 02:16:45.840 --> 02:16:47.680 It just feels like Gen G is prepared. 02:16:47.680 --> 02:16:49.560 They've come in with a game plan. 02:16:49.560 --> 02:16:51.160 They're not stepping on each other's toes. 02:16:51.160 --> 02:16:52.760 They're giving each other space to work in. 02:16:52.760 --> 02:16:56.060 more importantly, they're creating space for each other 02:16:56.060 --> 02:16:57.480 to make their job even easier. 02:16:57.480 --> 02:16:59.920 And you can kind of see it ever since game one, 02:16:59.920 --> 02:17:03.680 this Gen G team, they just look to be refined. 02:17:03.680 --> 02:17:05.640 This is the best that we've seen them. 02:17:05.640 --> 02:17:07.760 Yeah, you know, I think one of the things 02:17:07.760 --> 02:17:10.600 that's always interesting about Gen G is that it does feel 02:17:10.600 --> 02:17:12.800 like they approach their series initially 02:17:12.800 --> 02:17:14.760 with the game plan. 02:17:14.760 --> 02:17:15.880 I think the issue kind of lies 02:17:15.880 --> 02:17:17.560 in the execution of the game plan. 02:17:17.560 --> 02:17:19.960 And I think that that's what's been a big difference 02:17:19.960 --> 02:17:23.060 of the day is that execution has been there from everyone. 02:17:23.060 --> 02:17:24.920 And, you know, you, again, 02:17:24.920 --> 02:17:27.760 Wise was under a lot of criticism earlier on 02:17:27.760 --> 02:17:30.100 in this pair, it's open and maybe even before that, 02:17:30.100 --> 02:17:33.660 and yet here he is kind of almost leading the charge 02:17:33.660 --> 02:17:34.660 where he's had such an impact 02:17:34.660 --> 02:17:35.800 over the course of this series. 02:17:35.800 --> 02:17:38.160 This is what happens when Gen.G starts to execute 02:17:38.160 --> 02:17:39.500 and get their offense going. 02:17:39.500 --> 02:17:41.100 Well, I agree with you 100%. 02:17:41.100 --> 02:17:43.340 It's one of those situations where everyone is contributing 02:17:43.340 --> 02:17:45.740 and they're not all contributing in the same exact way. 02:17:45.740 --> 02:17:46.580 I think that's when you, 02:17:46.580 --> 02:17:49.080 that's what you see from incredibly successful teams, 02:17:49.080 --> 02:17:55.080 as each player can bring a specialty, a dynamic to the game that really makes the team tough to play against. 02:17:55.080 --> 02:18:00.080 So we're hoping to get back into the game here very soon. Thank you everybody at home for your patience. 02:18:00.080 --> 02:18:05.080 We're going to be resuming here from 8 seconds off kickoff. There was a PC problem for one of the players. 02:18:05.080 --> 02:18:12.080 That seems to be resolved. So we're getting ready to kick things off, Dads. 8 seconds on the clock, straight from the kickoff. 02:18:12.080 --> 02:18:15.760 kickoff eight seconds on the clock looks like it's going to be 02:18:15.760 --> 02:18:24.200 fostering five up kickoff and here we go swing game here on the FH 02:18:24.200 --> 02:18:28.160 stadium eight seconds to go kickoff here that's a perfect one 02:18:28.160 --> 02:18:30.400 there but rise out get away. 02:18:31.800 --> 02:18:34.560 L leaves it for five of the ones playing off the back wall 02:18:34.560 --> 02:18:38.840 could read or what's going to keep it up and up again at the 02:18:38.840 --> 02:18:40.600 ground. Another kickoff here real quick. 02:18:42.080 --> 02:18:44.080 in game three. 02:18:44.080 --> 02:18:46.080 Kickoff simulator. 02:18:46.080 --> 02:18:47.080 It is. 02:18:47.080 --> 02:18:50.080 So far, I haven't seen anyone get anything off the kickoff. 02:18:50.080 --> 02:18:53.080 This is so awkward though, and Borah just failed his team out. 02:18:53.080 --> 02:18:56.080 Pressure on Magic Fair to play this well. 02:18:56.080 --> 02:18:58.080 Magic Fair by one. 02:18:58.080 --> 02:19:00.080 Five up. We'll pick up the play though. 02:19:00.080 --> 02:19:01.080 Five up. 02:19:01.080 --> 02:19:02.080 Lobbing across net. 02:19:02.080 --> 02:19:04.080 Borah was a little too far out, 02:19:04.080 --> 02:19:06.080 but if Borah was in position for that, 02:19:06.080 --> 02:19:08.080 he might have been able to slam it in. 02:19:08.080 --> 02:19:10.080 Now you almost played quick. 02:19:10.080 --> 02:19:14.180 Yep, being careful seems again evil and five up there able to play a place. Oh 02:19:14.820 --> 02:19:17.660 Chana dashes he wants to get around the ball, but he couldn't 02:19:18.960 --> 02:19:20.160 Magic Bear 02:19:20.160 --> 02:19:22.340 Doing so much work with such a little boost 02:19:23.800 --> 02:19:29.180 Frosty missing the ball aura infield pass, but Magic Bear cuts it off Magic Bear over the rise rise 02:19:30.720 --> 02:19:32.280 Stay behind it 02:19:32.280 --> 02:19:38.200 Try to get a 50 kicks back Magic Bear with boost so pass off the sidewall, but that shut down by evil 02:19:38.200 --> 02:19:43.800 Oh, he went up to dodge the bomb magic was coming quick rise though a little awkward here between him and magic bear 02:19:44.840 --> 02:19:47.160 Take that one and rise able to pick it back up 02:19:47.720 --> 02:19:51.720 Magic bear would have given all five of them the back end boss. He cannot get to this ball of time 02:19:51.880 --> 02:19:57.800 Here's the lead though bossy. What a person got two can he get the ball ball ball? No ball up again 02:19:58.200 --> 02:20:01.320 After a double commit from gigatoss able to keep them in the game 02:20:01.720 --> 02:20:06.200 That was a great stop lovely touch from magic bear to set that up for his teammate 02:20:06.200 --> 02:20:13.200 that little touch. Big stop here from Dignitas, trying to work the way down the field. 02:20:13.200 --> 02:20:22.200 Evo looking for help on the side wall, 5-up is there to help. 5-up, reset, didn't get the flick on it. 02:20:22.200 --> 02:20:25.200 Oh, but that was a slowly hit! What on earth?! 02:20:25.200 --> 02:20:32.200 I don't know what I'm talking about, but I think it's a great 50 here. 02:20:32.200 --> 02:20:35.200 It's a great 50 here. 02:20:35.200 --> 02:20:36.200 Oh, drive-through. 02:20:36.200 --> 02:20:39.200 I mean, EVO just has a perfect angle. 02:20:39.200 --> 02:20:41.200 They shall both their cars. 02:20:41.200 --> 02:20:44.200 It was going in anyways, but five will get credit for it. 02:20:44.200 --> 02:20:46.200 Oh, man, that's got to hurt. 02:20:46.200 --> 02:20:47.200 That's got to hurt. 02:20:47.200 --> 02:20:49.200 Five up there to punch that one in, 02:20:49.200 --> 02:20:53.200 but you could see the defense from Gen G 02:20:53.200 --> 02:20:57.840 50 so hard in the corner. I think it might have been rise who was near post 02:20:58.720 --> 02:21:03.600 He was actually on those going up the back are getting ready to go up the back a lot of all kind of started 02:21:04.360 --> 02:21:06.980 Because of the defense had to react to five up 02:21:08.080 --> 02:21:11.640 Showing the flip reset, but ended up not getting much of a flick on it 02:21:11.640 --> 02:21:16.720 And I think the lack of hit black power on the hit actually made it really awkward for the defense 02:21:16.720 --> 02:21:24.200 Yeah, and look that way, look at this, and this one was so awkward, but worked out, 02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:31.560 top of the stand in the play, and yeah, that one was rolling right through, I mean. 02:21:31.560 --> 02:21:36.040 Look at Evo on the reaction, it feels like, while I say let's go, he's also taking 02:21:36.040 --> 02:21:39.480 a sigh of relief, like, okay, we're still in this. 02:21:39.480 --> 02:21:45.240 I mean, in best of sevens like that, you kind of feel like it's chalked if you lose 02:21:45.240 --> 02:21:52.000 to lose one, especially in overtime to lose one and then have to reverse sweep afterwards. 02:21:52.000 --> 02:21:57.000 Unlikely scenario to dig your way out of that one.

G trying to clean 02:30:39.740 --> 02:30:47.620 things up defensively. Both teams have had a number of stops, especially goal line stops 02:30:47.620 --> 02:30:55.060 James on both sides and it does make things very chaotic. I think eliminating those before 02:30:55.060 --> 02:31:01.620 they get that close. Yeah. And then and then you there's been so many times where 02:31:01.620 --> 02:31:04.800 It just seemed like no one on the field has had any boost. 02:31:04.800 --> 02:31:06.100 And there's no boost on the field. 02:31:06.100 --> 02:31:08.100 And you're like, what is going on? 02:31:08.100 --> 02:31:09.860 Where is all the boost? 02:31:09.860 --> 02:31:13.220 But they are, you know, you see K out of place like that. 02:31:13.220 --> 02:31:16.140 When everyone is on low boost and you're playing on a knife's edge 02:31:16.140 --> 02:31:19.100 where one mistake can be the difference between giving up 02:31:19.100 --> 02:31:20.940 that open net or not. 02:31:20.940 --> 02:31:23.980 But it has been a well-matched effort. 02:31:23.980 --> 02:31:25.820 I think Genji has looked good. 02:31:25.820 --> 02:31:28.860 They've looked like the better offensive team. 02:31:28.860 --> 02:31:31.460 But Dignitas has just made these stops on defense, 02:31:31.460 --> 02:31:36.100 made these counterattacks and the clutch factor has been there from five up was in 02:31:36.100 --> 02:31:39.580 a perfect position both those games the second one second overtime go a little 02:31:39.580 --> 02:31:43.140 more impressive but five up having that killer instinct to help put dignitas 02:31:43.140 --> 02:31:48.740 over the top these last two games. One more timeouts between these two teams as we 02:31:48.740 --> 02:31:54.980 enter game five the winner puts the series on match point and the way this 02:31:54.980 --> 02:32:00.300 series is gone I can't tell you who's got the edge. It feels like 02:32:00.300 --> 02:32:05.180 Gen G one from the way that they're playing in the way especially what we're seeing from Magic Bear 02:32:05.420 --> 02:32:12.680 But at the same time you get hot come away with so many game with that look like they just stolen them from Gen G 02:32:12.980 --> 02:32:15.500 You can't really tell where it goes sometimes 02:32:16.300 --> 02:32:21.680 Yeah, I agree with you guys. It looks like Gen G is maybe playing a better overall game 02:32:22.100 --> 02:32:26.660 But the clutch factor that X factor has been there for digitoss 02:32:26.660 --> 02:32:31.120 However Frosty enters the picture where this one we go 02:32:32.060 --> 02:32:37.000 He's cold look at Frosty great read great double 02:32:37.580 --> 02:32:44.700 You have to watch out. He's gonna put that on every single time and like I said in last game when Frosty starts to get alive 02:32:44.700 --> 02:32:46.700 It's the space in his time 02:32:46.940 --> 02:32:52.900 Gigi can be a triple threat. We may be seeing that triple threat come to fruition right before our eyes 02:32:53.140 --> 02:32:55.140 Yeah, is Frosty activated? 02:32:55.140 --> 02:33:02.020 is he fully engaged as plays like that to show you what he is capable of frosty 02:33:02.020 --> 02:33:10.180 big time goal here for Genji. But Borah will get one back for Dignitas. 02:33:10.180 --> 02:33:17.700 Rice hits this to the side and such a high head you can't follow it no one can and can't 02:33:17.700 --> 02:33:23.740 even get a stop here on Borah. I mean Evil picks it up gets it made with the demo it was just 02:33:23.740 --> 02:33:26.140 Gignotas, as soon as they got that possession. 02:33:26.140 --> 02:33:28.640 Such a great play from Ivo. 02:33:28.640 --> 02:33:32.340 He lands a demo, and the demos have been so effective for Gignotas. 02:33:32.340 --> 02:33:35.140 He lands the demo, the throw off the rotations, the defense panics, 02:33:35.140 --> 02:33:38.840 he gets the extra touch, downfield as well. 02:33:38.840 --> 02:33:41.440 And that's what I was talking about on the desk earlier, is Ivo. 02:33:41.440 --> 02:33:44.340 Even though he might not always be the one putting these goals in, 02:33:44.340 --> 02:33:47.040 he has such a presence at the midfield. 02:33:49.440 --> 02:33:52.640 You know, Bora gets another one again. 02:33:52.640 --> 02:33:58.040 This is gonna be the 5-up, taking a free shot, they're giving it to him for free, and Genji don't have any boost. 02:33:58.040 --> 02:34:02.240 So they have to let that one go by, dangerous situation here. 02:34:02.240 --> 02:34:06.640 And we are still tied up, it's 5-up, ended up missing the shot here. 02:34:08.140 --> 02:34:11.640 Even another good one, and Borough will just opt to try to double double. 02:34:11.640 --> 02:34:13.640 And... that's close! 02:34:13.640 --> 02:34:14.640 5-up! 02:34:15.640 --> 02:34:18.640 Borough sets it up, and 5-up puts it away! 02:34:18.640 --> 02:34:21.640 He always got five up sniffing around Borough. 02:34:21.640 --> 02:34:23.640 He threatens the side wall double. 02:34:23.640 --> 02:34:26.640 Everyone's looking at Borough to see if he's going to get that touch. 02:34:26.640 --> 02:34:28.640 And then Fylin says, thank you very much. 02:34:28.640 --> 02:34:30.640 I'll knock it in. 02:34:30.640 --> 02:34:34.640 Everyone is respecting the fact that Borough could potentially have a touch. 02:34:34.640 --> 02:34:38.640 That they're not thinking about what if he doesn't. 02:34:38.640 --> 02:34:40.640 And that's the mistake in that play. 02:34:40.640 --> 02:34:44.640 Genji has to be able to cover all angles in a situation like that. 02:34:44.640 --> 02:34:46.640 And you see what happens when they don't. 02:34:46.640 --> 02:34:54.640 Now, these starting to slip away from Gen.G as Gage starting to ramp up here, they take control of Game 5, 02:34:54.640 --> 02:34:58.640 and it's going to be up to Gen.G to build a response. 02:34:58.640 --> 02:35:03.640 Now Ryze has been a bit of a non-factor in the Disruptor playstyle right now, 02:35:03.640 --> 02:35:08.640 and haven't really seen a lot of bumps and demos connecting on behalf of Ryze. 02:35:08.640 --> 02:35:11.640 Dignitas on the other hand has been able to amp up their aggression here. 02:35:11.640 --> 02:35:15.800 right as I say you do see rise land two bumps and give Frosty a little bit of space 02:35:17.800 --> 02:35:21.800 Frosty we're going to follow into the bump to rise and rise get set 02:35:22.840 --> 02:35:29.560 ask her you shall receive there's equalizer and that space was created for the for the play by those 02:35:29.560 --> 02:35:35.800 bumps from rise it got a little bit of space got frosty the look on the ball with more space 02:35:35.800 --> 02:35:39.800 that he was expecting and then frosty another selfless play a beautiful 02:35:39.800 --> 02:35:48.800 Little tap, the tap to demo, paving the way for a teammate's shot is a perfect play. 02:35:50.800 --> 02:35:53.800 Bob Bob got another flip there, got a bump as well. 02:35:53.800 --> 02:35:55.800 Whoa, double missed, it's in! 02:35:55.800 --> 02:35:56.800 It's not in! 02:35:56.800 --> 02:35:57.800 Is it in?

Ryze getting the tap around in the corner and then he sees Magic Bear streaking in. 02:37:48.560 --> 02:37:55.560 Magic Bear doesn't have much boost. The play is going so fast as well that the pass has to be exact by Ryze. 02:37:55.560 --> 02:37:57.560 And Ryze hit Magic Bear on the numbers. 02:37:57.560 --> 02:38:03.560 Gaita toss, knee two within a minute. 02:38:03.560 --> 02:38:06.560 Because they pull off another leg, game heroics. 02:38:06.560 --> 02:38:08.560 Or it's frosty about to deal the finishing blow. 02:38:08.560 --> 02:38:10.560 No, it's blocked away from Boris. 02:38:10.560 --> 02:38:12.560 Same as the touch from Magic Bear. 02:38:12.560 --> 02:38:13.560 And now Gaita tosses the other one. 02:38:13.560 --> 02:38:15.560 Ward's hunting, but Magic Bear got a great cut 02:38:15.560 --> 02:38:17.560 to slow down the play. 02:38:17.560 --> 02:38:20.560 Gen G, getting these stops on defense now 02:38:20.560 --> 02:38:22.560 and dodging those demo attempts. 02:38:22.560 --> 02:38:25.560 Final 30 seconds up by two. 02:38:25.560 --> 02:38:29.560 This one looks to finally be going Gen. G's way. 02:38:32.560 --> 02:38:35.560 Last chance here for Evo. Needs one here. 02:38:35.560 --> 02:38:38.560 Denied by Frosty. Board plays a 50. 02:38:38.560 --> 02:38:41.560 And now the clock starts to tick down. 02:38:42.560 --> 02:38:46.560 Gen. G, looking to put this one on. 02:38:46.560 --> 02:38:51.560 A match point. Dignitas did a great job trying to battle back at the start, 02:38:51.560 --> 02:38:59.320 start but they could not hold on here at this game five as Gen G one game away from top six. 02:38:59.880 --> 02:39:05.800 Timeout buff from Gen G comes through Ryze getting the MVP on that game and I think he really was 02:39:05.800 --> 02:39:13.400 the catalyst for Gen G in this game. 100% goal participation. You know I said that it seemed 02:39:13.400 --> 02:39:16.760 like it's his rough-to-play style wasn't working then it seemed like an immediate 02:39:16.760 --> 02:39:24.040 Caster curse because right when I said that he lands two bumps get space for Frosty who then goes for the air dribble buff play 02:39:24.200 --> 02:39:27.400 Or air dribble demo play cave in the way for that goal 02:39:28.360 --> 02:39:34.460 Genji showing their mental toughness in this game after dropping two devastating OT losses 02:39:34.760 --> 02:39:38.960 To be able to bounce back and get a win. I think that just shows their grit does it does a 02:39:39.880 --> 02:39:43.500 special considering, you know, even with the season is taking this team 02:39:43.500 --> 02:39:46.980 and being able to fight the way they have been so far, 02:39:46.980 --> 02:39:51.020 but the series is not over at all. 02:39:51.020 --> 02:39:54.980 Moria dignitas with their backs against their wall 02:39:54.980 --> 02:39:59.980 and in a, I'd say a must win position from this point on, 02:40:01.140 --> 02:40:02.500 what do they have in store? 02:40:02.500 --> 02:40:03.860 They've looked solid. 02:40:03.860 --> 02:40:07.100 They can outpressure Gen G and their mechanics 02:40:07.100 --> 02:40:11.200 really make Gen G have to think and maybe even hesitate. 02:40:11.200 --> 02:40:14.400 So they're able to generate some chances. 02:40:14.400 --> 02:40:16.840 It's those cuts, especially when they have to play 02:40:16.840 --> 02:40:19.040 on the defensive end. 02:40:19.040 --> 02:40:20.680 They're not ready for the physicality. 02:40:20.680 --> 02:40:22.680 It's been rough for them to deal with. 02:40:22.680 --> 02:40:28.000 Can they pull something from the depths here? 02:40:28.000 --> 02:40:31.080 I think Natoz feel to find more success. 02:40:31.080 --> 02:40:33.000 Well, Gen G and Neo Tokyo. 02:40:36.080 --> 02:40:38.440 I think if you're Gen G or the coach of Gen G, 02:40:38.440 --> 02:40:40.680 you're saying, you know, they were fortunate 02:40:40.680 --> 02:40:42.380 to get those two team wins. 02:40:42.380 --> 02:40:45.920 We did the better team this whole series. 02:40:45.920 --> 02:40:48.040 Now it's time to get the job done. 02:40:48.040 --> 02:40:50.620 I think that's something that every player on that JG team 02:40:50.620 --> 02:40:52.800 could buy into. 02:40:52.800 --> 02:40:55.240 Shot not threatening at all there from the corner. 02:40:55.240 --> 02:40:56.800 And open this up. 02:40:56.800 --> 02:40:57.960 Five left, a pretty jump. 02:40:57.960 --> 02:40:59.480 Rise though, was up early. 02:40:59.480 --> 02:41:02.320 Oh, and that's one. 02:41:02.320 --> 02:41:05.880 You definitely want back on the side of dignitas. 02:41:05.880 --> 02:41:08.120 I mean, the play was drawn up well. 02:41:08.120 --> 02:41:09.720 It was just executed poorly. 02:41:09.720 --> 02:41:14.240 And another good save there from Magic Bear to get the stop. 02:41:14.240 --> 02:41:16.040 It's almost as if it would have worked better 02:41:16.040 --> 02:41:17.680 had there been no pre-jump. 02:41:17.680 --> 02:41:20.000 Five up did so well to get the ball forward, 02:41:20.000 --> 02:41:22.200 to get the bump in the air. 02:41:22.200 --> 02:41:25.200 But because the pre-jump didn't get the exact read 02:41:25.200 --> 02:41:29.400 on the hit, didn't get the power on the shot, 02:41:29.400 --> 02:41:31.480 it would have been much better there from Dignitas, 02:41:31.480 --> 02:41:32.480 but they're going for it. 02:41:32.480 --> 02:41:35.480 They're fearless. 02:41:35.480 --> 02:41:38.560 Genji holding up field, redirect from rise. 02:41:38.560 --> 02:41:41.600 Six of the left corner where Frosty picks it up. 02:41:41.600 --> 02:41:43.200 Wants to drop it down off the ceiling, 02:41:43.200 --> 02:41:46.280 but we're with the denial. 02:41:46.280 --> 02:41:48.040 More fifties in midfield. 02:41:48.040 --> 02:41:51.000 Still no possession control here from Big Natas. 02:41:51.000 --> 02:41:53.400 Five of them just playing it away from one, 02:41:53.400 --> 02:41:55.280 but it's the other that picked it up. 02:41:55.280 --> 02:41:58.520 Brice though gets a beat off of Frosty's whip. 02:41:58.520 --> 02:42:01.160 And I mean, we've seen that happen for both teams 02:42:01.160 --> 02:42:02.240 over the course of the series, 02:42:02.240 --> 02:42:04.400 where sometimes you get so much respect 02:42:04.400 --> 02:42:05.800 to the other guy, he misses it, 02:42:05.800 --> 02:42:06.800 it throws you all off, and it's out. 02:42:06.800 --> 02:42:11.280 a great drop down straight to rise the rise couldn't put it on. You're exactly 02:42:11.280 --> 02:42:13.040 right like the before a sidewall double. 02:42:15.320 --> 02:42:18.720 Got to respect the players and their ability. But sometimes you also got to 02:42:18.720 --> 02:42:19.480 play the miss. 02:42:21.680 --> 02:42:27.520 I love him trying to get the defense down here. Trying to cross it over 02:42:27.520 --> 02:42:31.160 the emo, but that's intercepted by frosty rise back down to frosty 02:42:31.160 --> 02:42:34.320 frosty tip up high.

But 02:47:54.680 --> 02:48:00.040 it looked like Gen G was, to me, they had more possession. They looked like the better 02:48:00.040 --> 02:48:04.760 offensive team.

And I mean, listen, 03:06:24.920 --> 03:06:28.560 Magic Bear especially delivered that series. 03:06:28.560 --> 03:06:31.920 I mean, that might have been his best performance 03:06:31.920 --> 03:06:36.000 since maybe Copenhagen, the scrim bear came out. 03:06:36.000 --> 03:06:37.960 But there were also a couple moments in there 03:06:37.960 --> 03:06:39.920 where I'm like, oh, no, Magic Bear, no. 03:06:39.920 --> 03:06:40.600 I'll fall through now. 03:06:40.600 --> 03:06:42.600 I'm like, this kind of stuff happens also. 03:06:42.600 --> 03:06:43.720 And just, yeah, pop off. 03:06:43.720 --> 03:06:45.320 Why not? 03:06:45.320 --> 03:06:46.440 Somebody goals looked like that. 03:06:46.440 --> 03:06:47.920 There were so many titles to watch when I'm like, oh, 03:06:47.920 --> 03:06:49.000 that's just in. 03:06:49.000 --> 03:06:51.000 And I'm like, oh, that one's just in. 03:06:51.000 --> 03:06:52.360 How many open nets were there? 03:06:52.360 --> 03:06:54.200 And the nets that looked like they were open 03:06:54.200 --> 03:06:56.800 and then a defender just posts himself 03:06:56.800 --> 03:06:59.240 in the inside of his net, somehow gets the save. 03:06:59.240 --> 03:07:00.080 He can't recover. 03:07:00.080 --> 03:07:01.640 His car is upside down. 03:07:01.640 --> 03:07:03.440 The shot coming in is like weak. 03:07:03.440 --> 03:07:06.440 And I'm like, what are we doing? 03:07:06.440 --> 03:07:08.440 But hey, Magic Bear, I think I smiled on his face 03:07:08.440 --> 03:07:09.360 because he survived. 03:07:09.360 --> 03:07:11.760 Like when you survive here, 03:07:11.760 --> 03:07:13.320 you gotta be feeling pretty good about it, 03:07:13.320 --> 03:07:15.960 but they got a lot of work to do, I think. 03:07:15.960 --> 03:07:19.320 Genji do if they wanna go even farther here. 03:07:19.320 --> 03:07:22.040 I mean, I think James put it the best is, 03:07:22.040 --> 03:07:23.200 you like a fancy dinner, 03:07:23.200 --> 03:07:25.800 but sometimes you just, you're like a little sloppy Joe 03:07:25.800 --> 03:07:26.960 and that's what we got today. 03:07:26.960 --> 03:07:30.840 And sometimes it is some fun Rocket League to watch, 03:07:30.840 --> 03:07:32.280 but if we watched it, 03:07:32.280 --> 03:07:33.640 and maybe that'll change as we move on. 03:07:33.640 --> 03:07:35.000 Let's look at the bracket, 03:07:35.000 --> 03:07:37.240 because yeah, we've got two teams moving forward 03:07:37.240 --> 03:07:39.640 to eliminated Strictly Business and Dignitas. 03:07:39.640 --> 03:07:42.200 Now, out of the open number five, 03:07:42.200 --> 03:07:44.440 their journeys have ended here. 03:07:44.440 --> 03:07:47.160 Gen G, yeah, they got it, you heard it from Magic Bear. 03:07:47.160 --> 03:07:48.640 They've got some stuff to work on 03:07:48.640 --> 03:07:49.560 to get ready for the moral 03:07:49.560 --> 03:07:53.680 because of the loser of that Shopify and Flip match 03:07:53.680 --> 03:07:55.480 that's going on up there, 03:07:55.480 --> 03:07:56.740 which is coming up in a bit here. 03:07:56.740 --> 03:07:58.800 So yeah, looking at the bracket, I think, 03:07:58.800 --> 03:08:02.240 maybe on target, I mean, we only have two matches. 03:08:02.240 --> 03:08:03.700 I was gonna say it to our predictions, 03:08:03.700 --> 03:08:05.160 but that's kind of pulling on the stock bar right now. 03:08:05.160 --> 03:08:06.360 So let's just look at the schedule 03:08:06.360 --> 03:08:07.520 and then get into our next match 03:08:07.520 --> 03:08:09.160 because that's going to be Shopify Rebellion 03:08:09.160 --> 03:08:13.800 and Foot Esports as we rounded our last two best of sevens 03:08:13.800 --> 03:08:15.280 on the day. 03:08:15.280 --> 03:08:17.760 Now, four foot, we've been talking a lot about this 03:08:17.760 --> 03:08:21.360 squad, their Jorbey. And you've heard it even from players. 03:08:21.860 --> 03:08:24.860 I think it was Sathy was saying that they have some high regard for the squad. 03:08:25.660 --> 03:08:27.860 Yes, I mean, they look very good. 03:08:27.860 --> 03:08:31.660 Cheese looks the most comfortable on this roster. 03:08:31.660 --> 03:08:33.960 The latest iteration that he's been on. 03:08:34.360 --> 03:08:38.660 We've been kind of waiting for cheese to really take that next step and be a consistent 03:08:39.060 --> 03:08:43.460 force in your, your top fours, your top sixes in North America. 03:08:43.460 --> 03:08:50.500 I think having chronic and Justin has created some stability for him and remember foot all three of these players 03:08:50.700 --> 03:08:56.640 Sacrificed the points of the teams that they were all on like not just not just foot losing their season points 03:08:56.640 --> 03:09:00.460 But also chronic and Justin losing the points from the teams that they were on 03:09:00.500 --> 03:09:07.000 So they had to start from there, but they are in a great spot just to qualify for pairs not thinking about worlds 03:09:07.020 --> 03:09:10.460 Last chance qualifiers still looking like that's on the docket for them 03:09:10.460 --> 03:09:13.460 But foot look really strong. 03:09:13.460 --> 03:09:15.620 On the other side, Rebellion is definitely 03:09:15.620 --> 03:09:16.940 going to be a litmus test. 03:09:16.940 --> 03:09:21.460 But foot, I think they might be up to the test. 03:09:21.460 --> 03:09:23.820 I think that's Shopify on the other side. 03:09:23.820 --> 03:09:26.420 I mean, this is a squad that we probably expect. 03:09:26.420 --> 03:09:31.100 I mean, you could expect to look solid into the top four. 03:09:31.100 --> 03:09:32.020 I think you could. 03:09:32.020 --> 03:09:35.980 And this is the thing that is really, I said it earlier, 03:09:35.980 --> 03:09:37.820 like this is the test for Rebellion 03:09:37.820 --> 03:09:41.020 because last open, it looked like, okay, 03:09:41.020 --> 03:09:44.540 they're trying some new things out with their gameplay, 03:09:44.540 --> 03:09:46.340 like how they're moving around the field. 03:09:46.340 --> 03:09:48.540 And you could see things start to develop. 03:09:48.540 --> 03:09:50.420 It wasn't clean though. 03:09:50.420 --> 03:09:53.940 It wasn't as effective as they wanted it to be. 03:09:53.940 --> 03:09:57.380 Now we're at a position where, okay, 03:09:57.380 --> 03:10:00.340 can't have they had enough time to refine 03:10:00.340 --> 03:10:02.140 the things that they've been trying to work on? 03:10:02.140 --> 03:10:04.100 And can they execute it on game day here, 03:10:04.100 --> 03:10:06.540 against a foot team that has been ramping up? 03:10:06.540 --> 03:10:11.420 I mean we talked to a lot of these NA players and coaches and they have a lot of respect for foot 03:10:11.860 --> 03:10:18.180 Yeah, I thought that yesterday rebellion. They like Kofi and LJ looks really strong 03:10:18.180 --> 03:10:20.420 I really liked how both of them looked 03:10:20.420 --> 03:10:26.140 I actually had a little bit of question marks on it just in one series in particular was first killer who was 03:10:26.500 --> 03:10:30.740 At times trying to do maybe a little too much on the ball where a shot was available 03:10:30.740 --> 03:10:33.700 He might might try to carry it or he just would it would hesitate 03:10:33.700 --> 03:10:38.260 There were like some moments where I'm and I'm never scratching my head with first killer these days 03:10:38.340 --> 03:10:41.220 Well, I did have me but if L.J. Kofa playing like that 03:10:41.220 --> 03:10:44.220 I expect first killer to always be back to first killer mode 03:10:44.220 --> 03:10:47.420 I mean he's still at the top of the NA leaderboards individually statistically 03:10:47.420 --> 03:10:51.620 So like this is gonna be a really hard out for foot if 03:10:52.260 --> 03:10:54.260 L.J. Kofa keep looking like they are 03:10:54.340 --> 03:10:58.260 Chad what do you think it progressive fan votes up right now? Hashtag yes, sir. Hashtag 03:10:58.260 --> 03:11:06.260 I think this will be a bit closer in terms of the fan vote at least because I feel like this is a series and maybe you guys 03:11:06.260 --> 03:11:12.260 don't think this but I feel like it's a series that also has that possibility of at least going to like a game six. Am I crazy? 03:11:13.260 --> 03:11:15.260 No. I don't think so. 03:11:16.260 --> 03:11:23.260 Here's the thing, like, foot are playing as well as they are. Jazz, I don't know if you know it but if you don't know I want you to guess 03:11:23.260 --> 03:11:25.540 I want you to guess who's leading statistically, 03:11:25.540 --> 03:11:27.700 like across most categories four foot, 03:11:27.700 --> 03:11:29.540 like which player would you be picking? 03:11:30.500 --> 03:11:33.380 Who leads in, who leads in, 03:11:33.380 --> 03:11:35.900 who leads in foot's major statistical categories. 03:11:35.900 --> 03:11:37.500 So like score per game, goals per game, 03:11:37.500 --> 03:11:40.780 shot per game, shot percentage, goal participation. 03:11:40.780 --> 03:11:41.780 Which player would you choose 03:11:41.780 --> 03:11:44.340 who would lead most of those categories right now? 03:11:44.340 --> 03:11:45.660 Chronic cheese or Justin? 03:11:45.660 --> 03:11:47.660 Probably cheese. 03:11:47.660 --> 03:11:48.820 It's Justin. 03:11:48.820 --> 03:11:52.500 Justin, 481 score per game. 03:11:52.500 --> 03:11:57.020 Over a goal per game, almost 0.9 assists per game. 03:11:57.020 --> 03:11:59.460 He's averaging almost four shots a game. 03:11:59.460 --> 03:12:01.380 His shooting percentage is in the 30s. 03:12:01.380 --> 03:12:03.900 If you're shooting over 30%, that's good. 03:12:03.900 --> 03:12:07.500 Goal participation also at 69, 70%, 03:12:07.500 --> 03:12:09.060 depending on how you round. 03:12:09.060 --> 03:12:11.380 So like Justin is producing. 03:12:11.380 --> 03:12:13.020 He also leaves the team and saves per game. 03:12:13.020 --> 03:12:15.180 My man is all over the pitch right now 03:12:15.180 --> 03:12:16.620 from the old era to the new. 03:12:16.620 --> 03:12:18.460 The veteran is getting it done on foot. 03:12:18.460 --> 03:12:21.060 He is feeling as comfortable as he has in years. 03:12:21.060 --> 03:12:24.420 Yeah, that's that's incredible to see it, too. Yeah, well, both of us said cheese 03:12:24.420 --> 03:12:27.060 because like you just expect that to be the player on offense. And maybe that's 03:12:27.060 --> 03:12:30.860 what we're looking for there, Dez. But I guess if you're looking at the overall, 03:12:32.180 --> 03:12:34.980 like the well rounded stats, especially when it comes to like setting up 03:12:34.980 --> 03:12:37.620 the players for some of my cheese, it makes sense that Justin's getting in 03:12:37.620 --> 03:12:41.940 there. Dez. Yeah, it does. I think yeah, for cheese, he's just been one 03:12:41.940 --> 03:12:45.260 of those players who you would expect to see everywhere on the field. 03:12:45.260 --> 03:12:50.620 So for me, like I could see that link that going on. But just now this 03:12:50.620 --> 03:12:54.660 just goes to show you know that change in environment because look at how 03:12:54.660 --> 03:12:59.380 different Justin's playing on this team and the fact that he's been able to do 03:12:59.380 --> 03:13:05.980 more just goes to show you like okay what Justin now where where do you put 03:13:05.980 --> 03:13:09.620 him this is a we're having a conversation and we I think Justin 03:13:09.620 --> 03:13:11.900 would have been the last player I would have thought that would have led in 03:13:11.900 --> 03:13:16.300 that in all categories or in most of those categories so seeing what foot 03:13:16.300 --> 03:13:22.300 can do with seeing this new team I mean I just wonder where is the cap where is the cap for this 03:13:22.300 --> 03:13:28.460 team and I think Rebellion will help us answer that question yeah I mean that's yeah this is a team 03:13:28.460 --> 03:13:33.100 that's actually going to give us a proper perspective on them it's not like hey if they you know 03:13:33.100 --> 03:13:37.100 put wins 4-0 against some other team you don't really still know where to put them but against 03:13:37.100 --> 03:13:41.340 Shopify if they can get a scoreline like that yeah that's definitely gonna give us more clarification 03:13:41.340 --> 03:13:45.180 on it I mean there's still some other teams you want to see them go up against like space 03:13:45.180 --> 03:13:50.180 PlayStation NRG eventually, but a Shopify is definitely a squad that's formidable. 03:13:50.180 --> 03:13:51.180 You can keep you on your toes. 03:13:51.180 --> 03:13:57.900 I mean, I guess we're looking at this while we wait for the players to get in the, I 03:13:57.900 --> 03:14:02.380 guess for Shopify, if they're kind of the underdogs into this, I mean, what's, what's 03:14:02.380 --> 03:14:03.380 the game plan? 03:14:03.380 --> 03:14:04.380 I know you've done all right. 03:14:04.380 --> 03:14:06.060 That's why I buy, I need air quotes. 03:14:06.060 --> 03:14:09.060 You can't see them, but like, you can't even air quote it. 03:14:09.060 --> 03:14:12.180 You can't even, that's, that's, there's like eight air quotes. 03:14:12.180 --> 03:14:17.940 air quotes, there's no like bookmark at the end of the chapter saying hey by the way no there's no 03:14:17.940 --> 03:14:23.940 like weird no rebellion are literally not an underdog here foot are 100% the underdogs can foot win 03:14:23.940 --> 03:14:29.780 this match absolutely rebellion are still one of the top teams in North America period despite 03:14:29.780 --> 03:14:33.700 some of the issues we've been talking about we can't be putting air quotes around our killer 03:14:33.700 --> 03:14:34.540 All right, Torbi. 03:14:34.540 --> 03:14:35.820 Okay. 03:14:35.820 --> 03:14:39.100 I'm just saying, what if Foot win this series 03:14:39.100 --> 03:14:41.220 in five or less, does that mean? 03:14:41.220 --> 03:14:42.340 Five or less is an upset. 03:14:42.340 --> 03:14:43.420 Five or less is an upset. 03:14:43.420 --> 03:14:44.740 But I'm saying, does that make, 03:14:44.740 --> 03:14:45.680 next time I play, does that make 03:14:45.680 --> 03:14:47.540 rebellion in the underdogs? 03:14:47.540 --> 03:14:49.220 Well, I mean, against Foot? 03:14:49.220 --> 03:14:50.740 Yeah, Foot, Foot, Prove it. 03:14:50.740 --> 03:14:52.300 Going up again, of course. 03:14:52.300 --> 03:14:55.100 I think, I think I want to see it from Foot. 03:14:55.100 --> 03:14:55.940 I want to see it. 03:14:55.940 --> 03:14:56.860 This is where you need it. 03:14:56.860 --> 03:14:59.220 You're in prime position to qualify for Paris. 03:14:59.220 --> 03:15:01.380 Rebellion are the second hardest team 03:15:01.380 --> 03:15:03.660 you're going to play in North America. 03:15:03.660 --> 03:15:07.940 They're the second hardest test that you're going to have so are you a land team? 03:15:07.940 --> 03:15:12.500 Can you can you perform at the top of this region rebellion or a litmus test? 03:15:13.820 --> 03:15:17.420 Don't wear quotes about underdog nonsense foot have not been that right yet. They have 03:15:18.340 --> 03:15:21.920 That's fair. I uh, I want to quickly just give a look. I don't know 03:15:22.940 --> 03:15:28.640 Yeah, actually there it is dazzles gonna ask you, but we got it on screen here quick update on what's going on in 03:15:29.140 --> 03:15:30.980 Mina right now 03:15:30.980 --> 03:15:36.820 Falcons who we were keeping an eye on having a that rough go against twisted minds before they're up 3-2 right now on 03:15:37.460 --> 03:15:41.780 R8, but R8 is up a goal in that that game right now 03:15:41.780 --> 03:15:44.900 So there's a potential for a game 7 going yeah 03:15:45.860 --> 03:15:52.320 Potential you big big words their potential because Falcons just scored us to 46 left any game 6 03:15:52.740 --> 03:16:00.060 Rates up to 1 so I mean it could go in any way Falcons now both series that they play today has gone 03:16:00.060 --> 03:16:05.340 like a pretty pretty big distance here so I think it just depends on you know 03:16:05.340 --> 03:16:09.900 who's gonna be able to kind of close it out yeah that's usually the way we get a 03:16:09.900 --> 03:16:22.980 result that was yeah that was definitely good I just I kind of brain farted I was 03:16:22.980 --> 03:16:27.860 watching the series and yeah I'm out of you doing a lot right now I put you on 03:16:27.860 --> 03:16:30.220 the spot to look at the gives an update on a different series 03:16:30.220 --> 03:16:33.500 going on. So anyways, let's let's let's get some thoughts on 03:16:33.500 --> 03:16:35.340 this because we're still waiting on on the match to get 03:16:35.340 --> 03:16:38.740 ready. So this seems like a back and forth. It feels like 03:16:38.740 --> 03:16:41.340 you know what you guys are going to call for on your 03:16:41.340 --> 03:16:44.420 predictions that just isn't predictable. We've had an easy 03:16:44.420 --> 03:16:47.700 flip on on the other ones. But in terms of this desk, can 03:16:47.700 --> 03:16:49.540 you start walking us through your thought process on how 03:16:49.540 --> 03:16:52.340 this matchups may be in a go? We're gonna get back and forth 03:16:52.340 --> 03:16:55.700 maybe who's coming out on top by the end of it. I'm not 03:16:55.700 --> 03:16:59.060 ready to give up on rebellion just yet. 03:16:59.060 --> 03:17:02.260 I see where the hype is leading towards foot right now. 03:17:02.260 --> 03:17:05.380 But for me, I think I feel like 03:17:05.380 --> 03:17:08.580 the cat that I talked about earlier 03:17:08.580 --> 03:17:10.940 is going to be when foot start having expectations. 03:17:10.940 --> 03:17:13.340 I don't think they have expectations on them just yet. 03:17:13.340 --> 03:17:15.300 So I feel like they've been playing super solid 03:17:15.300 --> 03:17:17.980 meanwhile though, I do really respect 03:17:17.980 --> 03:17:19.260 what rebellion are trying to do 03:17:19.260 --> 03:17:20.940 with just changing up their style of play. 03:17:20.940 --> 03:17:24.820 And I think I would rather believe in that first 03:17:24.820 --> 03:17:27.020 then foot kind of, you know, surpassing expectations, 03:17:27.020 --> 03:17:28.860 put themselves in different conversations. 03:17:28.860 --> 03:17:30.660 So I'm going to go rebellion on this, 03:17:30.660 --> 03:17:31.500 but I think it'll be close. 03:17:31.500 --> 03:17:34.340 I think it'll go to distance, maybe a six or a seven. 03:17:34.340 --> 03:17:35.300 Okay. 03:17:35.300 --> 03:17:36.620 Yeah, rebellion look, 03:17:36.620 --> 03:17:39.220 rebellion look so much more comfortable. 03:17:39.220 --> 03:17:41.380 I am with you on that, 03:17:41.380 --> 03:17:43.100 Daz, like with the play style changes, 03:17:43.100 --> 03:17:45.300 Kofa is more aggressive while that's not like, 03:17:45.300 --> 03:17:46.780 it's not like coming out in demos, 03:17:46.780 --> 03:17:48.780 it's just coming out and how he's attacking the ball 03:17:48.780 --> 03:17:50.180 and how he's attacking the play. 03:17:50.180 --> 03:17:51.620 And not just him though, like I said, 03:17:51.620 --> 03:17:57.220 him and LJ yesterday were clicking really well and usually with rebellion it's like first 03:17:57.220 --> 03:18:02.900 killer and another player doing well and then another player like kind of not not getting 03:18:02.900 --> 03:18:08.020 up to that same level. But I don't think that's the case this time. I think that the adjustments 03:18:08.020 --> 03:18:12.260 are obvious. Ever violent pandas doing in the background there to get those boys in 03:18:12.260 --> 03:18:17.020 a comfortable spot because I think that's the thing man. If rebellion get to comfort 03:18:17.020 --> 03:18:18.720 where they feel like they can rotate, 03:18:18.720 --> 03:18:20.940 they can trust second man, 03:18:20.940 --> 03:18:22.540 or second man can trust that first man 03:18:22.540 --> 03:18:24.260 is gonna do something with the ball, 03:18:24.260 --> 03:18:26.820 but actually having second man be upfield 03:18:26.820 --> 03:18:29.100 and do like actually having offense. 03:18:29.100 --> 03:18:30.660 It's amazing how good rebellion I'm on 03:18:30.660 --> 03:18:32.460 when they actually commit the second man. 03:18:32.460 --> 03:18:34.460 So like I just, yeah, leave. 03:18:34.460 --> 03:18:36.020 Sorry, I just wanted to get while we have the points 03:18:36.020 --> 03:18:37.540 up here, because we don't want to give up this up here 03:18:37.540 --> 03:18:40.220 all day, just talk about the close dishes as well 03:18:40.220 --> 03:18:43.180 and how important the matches are now in an open fight. 03:18:43.180 --> 03:18:46.740 Because Jorbey, you open for whatever, 03:18:46.740 --> 03:18:49.180 Whatever happens, you can probably bounce back from it. 03:18:49.180 --> 03:18:51.260 The problem is the points start to get tightened up around this. 03:18:51.260 --> 03:18:53.100 And you see where they are on this, you know, 03:18:53.100 --> 03:18:55.140 like only a few points away from each other, Jeremy, 03:18:55.140 --> 03:18:58.820 that these matches now become much, much more important 03:18:58.820 --> 03:19:02.460 to solidify getting into that top four is going to be huge. 03:19:02.460 --> 03:19:05.100 Dude, I mean, with NRG and Lowers playing the loser 03:19:05.100 --> 03:19:07.020 of Virtus. Pro and Space Station too, 03:19:07.020 --> 03:19:09.940 like Space Station is sitting at the top right now. 03:19:09.940 --> 03:19:12.180 Virtus. Pro have a lot of work to do to come back, 03:19:12.180 --> 03:19:14.580 but like imagine the loser of that match, 03:19:14.580 --> 03:19:20.480 Like imagine somehow like or if like safe where it is probably is they go energy and then they beat energy like all four spots 03:19:20.480 --> 03:19:21.620 are just 03:19:21.620 --> 03:19:26.060 Completely throw through so that's why if you're rebellion if your foot you're not on that side of the bracket 03:19:26.060 --> 03:19:28.060 You can get into a top four spot 03:19:28.140 --> 03:19:33.860 Until you have to play someone like an NRG's this match is so important for that placement for parents 03:19:34.220 --> 03:19:39.220 Yeah, well and again just looking at the season overall again while we try to get these players ready to go 03:19:39.220 --> 03:19:43.540 wear things like your desk because not only are you looking towards that Paris 03:19:43.540 --> 03:19:47.620 major you're still looking towards you know one of those top four spots for 03:19:47.620 --> 03:19:51.180 world's position as well yeah and I think that's also where that the 03:19:51.180 --> 03:19:54.540 conversation kind of shifts into a different direction because you do have 03:19:54.540 --> 03:19:57.620 those Caesar points that they were valiant on a good spot especially you 03:19:57.620 --> 03:20:02.260 know what a guaranteed top six to this event but but trying to raise 03:20:02.260 --> 03:20:05.620 themselves into a conversation especially if you know we have that 03:20:05.620 --> 03:20:11.740 match, that last match with Vertus and SSG, Vertus have another poor regional event, or 03:20:11.740 --> 03:20:16.620 maybe they don't meet the major, then suddenly, you know, foot could turn into some really 03:20:16.620 --> 03:20:22.500 decent competitors for that fourth spot. So I think that like looking at that, I mean, 03:20:22.500 --> 03:20:26.540 it makes these results have a lot of impact, especially for Flamie, you know, winning 03:20:26.540 --> 03:20:31.060 this game to a top four spot. But listen, I mean, I can talk about it. I'm ready. 03:20:31.060 --> 03:20:33.740 I'm ready. Doesn't really matter. We're just like, look, that fifth through like 03:20:33.740 --> 03:20:37.060 eight long season points is literally just last chance. 03:20:37.060 --> 03:20:38.420 Those are your last chance qualifiers. 03:20:38.420 --> 03:20:41.420 No one's getting that fourth spot like run from 40 points. 03:20:41.700 --> 03:20:42.800 They're not getting up there. 03:20:42.800 --> 03:20:44.800 So like all the teams we see. 03:20:44.800 --> 03:20:46.500 So there they bomb out a couple of times. 03:20:46.500 --> 03:20:47.500 They don't make the major. 03:20:47.500 --> 03:20:50.800 And then you have to go to the major for make good performance. 03:20:51.340 --> 03:20:53.080 All they really got to do is get out of kind of groups. 03:20:53.080 --> 03:20:53.980 And then you're right. 03:20:53.980 --> 03:20:54.340 Right. 03:20:54.340 --> 03:20:56.540 We have a really hard, hard path to your right. 03:20:56.540 --> 03:21:00.440 But that could definitely lose to both as a G and an RG this weekend. 03:21:00.440 --> 03:21:02.940 Can happen. Well, but first it's like we're not talking 03:21:02.940 --> 03:21:07.220 I've heard is for obviously but it's no everyone is waiting for the for the game. We're good. Yeah, let's get them out 03:21:07.220 --> 03:21:11.720 Let's get them on that. Yeah, don't worry. I don't don't worry about a chat never listens to us anyway 03:21:11.720 --> 03:21:14.120 So that's why they don't know why we're we're delaying here 03:21:14.120 --> 03:21:15.780 But like what we do have the game about ready 03:21:15.780 --> 03:21:18.100 So let's get our predictions on the board so we can start the game 03:21:18.380 --> 03:21:23.120 That's we already heard from you which way you think you're going right and I just want to reiterate that in case 03:21:23.380 --> 03:21:26.580 In case they weren't listening rebellion for me go 03:21:27.100 --> 03:21:29.100 You know our first killer rebellion 03:21:29.100 --> 03:21:35.020 Yeah, I think at this point I agree. I love just they did what they needed to do 03:21:35.020 --> 03:21:39.560 group B yesterday coming in I can't can't quit on them quite yet here chat 03:21:39.560 --> 03:21:43.500 What were you saying? They don't look at their own they're on the side they heard 03:21:43.500 --> 03:21:46.700 us talking about Justin and they said let's go that way well we'll see if 03:21:46.700 --> 03:21:49.620 you're good for a right let's find out because it should be a good series 03:21:49.620 --> 03:21:53.940 regardless game is finally ready so let's start it up we have Shopify 03:21:53.940 --> 03:21:57.820 rebellion up against put these sports who's gonna take it we can only find 03:21:57.820 --> 03:22:02.700 out by playing the game. It's the best of seven. Both teams have a second life, but you want to ring right here. 03:22:07.660 --> 03:22:13.900 You've heard the hype. Foot are rising. Foot are looking great. Are they better than Shopify 03:22:13.900 --> 03:22:17.180 Rebellion? Well, Hercules, I think we'll get the answer to that question now. 03:22:17.900 --> 03:22:22.860 Yeah, this is definitely a battle for the times right now. Like we've all kind of, 03:22:22.860 --> 03:22:27.420 For the most part agreed on foot is coming into this as an underdog rebellion. 03:22:27.420 --> 03:22:32.140 They've pretty much solidified themselves in always a top three conversation. 03:22:32.140 --> 03:22:36.140 So now we're going to see in somebody finally knocked them down. 03:22:36.140 --> 03:22:37.460 Let's get into it. 03:22:37.460 --> 03:22:41.220 Game one brought to you by progressive to start things out. 03:22:41.220 --> 03:22:43.540 You see chronic weaving through the defense. 03:22:43.540 --> 03:22:46.780 Justin now staying behind the ball. 03:22:46.780 --> 03:22:49.300 It is cleared out. 03:22:49.300 --> 03:22:54.060 Justin grabbing that corner boost allowing him to turn over the will force that forward 03:22:56.220 --> 03:23:02.580 Biggest thing James coming into this one is a lot of eyes and they may mention to it on the desk are gonna be 03:23:03.620 --> 03:23:09.280 Justin he's that player that's kind of in the silent killer four-foot that's really led the charge a lot 03:23:09.280 --> 03:23:13.500 I assume for strong fire belly of the plan is going to be to slow him down 03:23:14.540 --> 03:23:18.760 So far they've been able to do so she's to that backboard 03:23:19.300 --> 03:23:26.820 He'd read there from first killer that first killer predicting what she was going to do, but you're right hurt a lot of pressure on Justin 03:23:27.460 --> 03:23:29.460 Justin North American legend 03:23:30.020 --> 03:23:32.020 world champion 03:23:32.100 --> 03:23:34.100 He has been there done it 03:23:34.420 --> 03:23:36.740 He has been playing this league for a long time 03:23:37.620 --> 03:23:39.620 but now the pressure is on 03:23:39.860 --> 03:23:41.860 And I you get you heard the desk 03:23:42.260 --> 03:23:44.740 A lot of them favoring Shopify rebellion in this matchup 03:23:44.740 --> 03:23:49.300 So we'll see if what can stack up that Justin can answer the call. 03:23:49.300 --> 03:23:54.260 He has been leading in all those categories, statistically for foot, it's been a big contributor. 03:23:56.260 --> 03:23:59.940 John Farrer-Bellion's kind of trying to play the cheeky game here against foot. 03:23:59.940 --> 03:24:03.540 They have first killer trying to sneak in for Kofa at a time. 03:24:03.540 --> 03:24:04.660 There's first killer again. 03:24:05.220 --> 03:24:08.820 It was shot opportunity even on the low loose foot, managed to make the save. 03:24:09.300 --> 03:24:14.020 They've been playing the high and the low and Kofa are actually worse out in their favor 03:24:14.740 --> 03:24:21.380 And it's been a huge boost-starving game here for Shopify Rebellion. 03:24:21.380 --> 03:24:24.380 They have Catfoot quite low. 03:24:24.380 --> 03:24:30.220 She's having a remarkable stop on Zero Boost to deny Shopify Rebellion, who's had so much 03:24:30.220 --> 03:24:31.220 possession up to this point. 03:24:31.220 --> 03:24:32.220 Now, a shot from LJ. 03:24:32.220 --> 03:24:38.220 That one denied as well from Chronic, but Foot really running low on Boost. 03:24:38.220 --> 03:24:41.540 Yeah, this little boost is pretty interesting. 03:24:41.540 --> 03:24:48.140 It's also more interesting though that they weren't able to maintain the defensive power 03:24:48.140 --> 03:24:50.540 over Shopify so far. 03:24:50.540 --> 03:24:55.340 Although Shopify is coming in with a second win here on the attack, first killer down, 03:24:55.340 --> 03:24:59.540 has to bounce up to himself, plays it back out, LG is a little bit slow to it. 03:24:59.540 --> 03:25:03.220 When you play, you said that double commit came out and you can see these glimpses of 03:25:03.220 --> 03:25:09.060 shakiness from foot that could eventually come to bite them and they will. 03:25:09.060 --> 03:25:14.860 So far, game one has been shot by Fyrebellion playing keep away from foot and that little 03:25:14.860 --> 03:25:19.060 pass there is so clever from first killer. 03:25:19.060 --> 03:25:24.340 Finding, solving the puzzle, finding the answer to that defense from foot, they were turtled 03:25:24.340 --> 03:25:31.420 up but you can see Chronic didn't have the vision on LJ and LJ in the right spot. 03:25:31.420 --> 03:25:32.420 Perfect positioning. 03:25:32.420 --> 03:25:33.420 Great start for shot by Fyrebellion. 03:25:33.420 --> 03:25:34.420 Now they go look well. 03:25:34.420 --> 03:25:37.860 Another cool look, well. 03:25:37.860 --> 03:25:40.940 Look at that look running back. 03:25:40.940 --> 03:25:45.100 It's first killer again, doing that weird cheeky charge. 03:25:45.100 --> 03:25:46.340 And Elton trying to help it out. 03:25:46.340 --> 03:25:48.260 He did in turn slow it down, but they 03:25:48.260 --> 03:25:50.300 were so focused on the wrong person. 03:25:50.300 --> 03:25:52.020 And Rebellion does such a good job 03:25:52.020 --> 03:25:55.180 of doing that, of just making you look one way when 03:25:55.180 --> 03:25:58.100 you're not even recognizing that so much is 03:25:58.100 --> 03:26:01.020 going on the other end of that ball. 03:26:01.020 --> 03:26:04.140 Yeah, you can see Justin, I think, stunned a little bit. 03:26:04.140 --> 03:26:08.100 He saw the demo was thinking maybe the touch on the ball would happen as well. 03:26:08.100 --> 03:26:12.020 But no touch game, Justin out of position, the hard shot, 03:26:12.020 --> 03:26:14.140 patching foot out. 03:26:14.140 --> 03:26:20.460 So far, this has been all Shopify Rebellion foot has spent hardly any time in the rebellion half. 03:26:20.460 --> 03:26:24.780 They finally have it here and we'll have a full tank of booze going airborne, 03:26:24.780 --> 03:26:28.740 LJ low, but still gets a hand on it out to the corner. 03:26:28.740 --> 03:26:33.100 Yeah, their best moments of possession were in the earlier stages of this game so far. 03:26:33.100 --> 03:26:36.060 But like you said, it's starting to come a little bit too little too late. 03:26:36.060 --> 03:26:39.380 You can see them all bunched up here in the corner, not only just two players, 03:26:39.380 --> 03:26:41.260 but all three members of foot. 03:26:41.260 --> 03:26:46.260 So there's this level of almost, you know, frustration, distrust, whatever, 03:26:46.540 --> 03:26:49.860 that is kind of messing with the game's land for foot and Shopify 03:26:49.860 --> 03:26:52.020 are completely owning them for that. 03:26:54.420 --> 03:26:56.260 Jeez, looking for a pass over to Chronic. 03:26:56.260 --> 03:26:59.660 Chronic shot wasn't placed the way it needed to be. 03:26:59.660 --> 03:27:06.900 That decent power on it, but very simple ball for LJ and Kofa will go the distance. 03:27:06.900 --> 03:27:10.500 I didn't think he had enough in the tank to get by all those defenders. 03:27:10.500 --> 03:27:14.900 You know, definitely more than enough to work with here. 03:27:14.900 --> 03:27:17.340 Just here laying over everyone. 03:27:17.340 --> 03:27:20.220 She's timing, unfortunately, on the last attempt. 03:27:20.220 --> 03:27:23.540 Not well enough, three nil. 03:27:23.540 --> 03:27:25.820 Just over a minute to go and you said it best James. 03:27:25.820 --> 03:27:28.580 It's just all shot for five. 03:27:28.580 --> 03:27:33.000 This is dominating the dominating performance for Shopify rebellion. 03:27:33.000 --> 03:27:37.980 Kofi are looking quite good on that play as well to get the reset that extra little touch 03:27:37.980 --> 03:27:39.480 to beat it by cheese. 03:27:39.480 --> 03:27:44.720 Even the possession and first killer finding that little pass over to LJ to get things 03:27:44.720 --> 03:27:45.720 going. 03:27:45.720 --> 03:27:53.520 It has been all rebellion and even still foot cannot find a way to break through that 03:27:53.520 --> 03:27:54.920 looks like their best chance yet. 03:27:54.920 --> 03:28:00.280 Yeah, it definitely did. Unfortunately for them, there's fourth member on the team and the one that 03:28:01.240 --> 03:28:04.040 statistically should have had it for them couldn't. 03:28:04.600 --> 03:28:06.600 Cronix gonna try and step up here. 03:28:06.760 --> 03:28:12.920 It's him and she's working together. Justin already up for the attempt. He centers out to cheese two from Shopify though, 03:28:12.920 --> 03:28:19.480 which is a rare double commit to try and make a save on this, but I mean you respected three up 15 left to go. 03:28:19.880 --> 03:28:21.880 They pretty much got this in the bag. 03:28:21.880 --> 03:28:27.280 Yeah, this has been a very clean game from Shopify Rebellion, a dominating game, really 03:28:27.280 --> 03:28:28.280 a statement. 03:28:28.280 --> 03:28:34.120 You know, I myself was wondering where Foot stacks up against Shopify Rebellion. 03:28:34.120 --> 03:28:39.160 I had high hopes for Foot, but after this game, you can see holding, floating there, 03:28:39.160 --> 03:28:40.160 getting the double. 03:28:40.160 --> 03:28:43.240 The confidence is there for Rebellion. 03:28:43.240 --> 03:28:46.640 The performance was there for Rebellion. 03:28:46.640 --> 03:28:48.000 Pure domination in game one. 03:28:48.000 --> 03:28:49.480 Foot didn't have a chance. 03:28:49.480 --> 03:28:50.800 No, none at all. 03:28:50.800 --> 03:28:51.800 No air clothes. 03:28:51.800 --> 03:28:54.340 No underdog, nothing to rebellion. 03:28:54.340 --> 03:28:57.360 This is the same team that we saw dominate 03:28:57.360 --> 03:28:59.540 out in the kickoff land that we've seen 03:28:59.540 --> 03:29:01.920 all throughout every single open. 03:29:01.920 --> 03:29:05.640 This is just a very routine performance from them. 03:29:05.640 --> 03:29:07.000 So far everything has fallen 03:29:07.000 --> 03:29:08.400 onto the shoulder of Flip Esports 03:29:08.400 --> 03:29:09.760 to really just get into the groove. 03:29:09.760 --> 03:29:11.200 And I mean, we saw it before 03:29:11.200 --> 03:29:12.240 at the beginning of this game, 03:29:12.240 --> 03:29:13.480 they look pretty decent. 03:29:13.480 --> 03:29:17.920 They were keeping up a fair amount defensively, 03:29:17.920 --> 03:29:19.120 I would say. 03:29:19.120 --> 03:29:24.120 It's just that lack of presence on the attack for Flick. 03:29:24.120 --> 03:29:26.420 Now, Flick had that opportunity that they weren't 03:29:26.420 --> 03:29:29.480 able to put away his playing off the post. 03:29:29.480 --> 03:29:34.120 But on the other end, the time on attack 03:29:34.120 --> 03:29:36.240 that Rebellion had was off the charts. 03:29:36.240 --> 03:29:38.280 They kept Flick low on boost. 03:29:38.280 --> 03:29:40.800 They kept him isolated on the backboard. 03:29:40.800 --> 03:29:42.600 They kept the ball in an awkward spot. 03:29:42.600 --> 03:29:46.200 And even the first killer in that first goal of the game, 03:29:46.200 --> 03:29:49.200 It's just a methodical dismantling of the defense. 03:29:49.200 --> 03:29:52.200 They, I mean, he could have gone one of a dozen ways, 03:29:52.200 --> 03:29:55.000 but to find LJ on that pass that, and, you know, 03:29:55.000 --> 03:29:57.700 just trusting that LJ is going to slot that away. 03:29:57.700 --> 03:30:02.440 I mean, that just, I think, encapsulated how in control 03:30:02.440 --> 03:30:04.840 Shopify Rebellion was in game one. 03:30:04.840 --> 03:30:05.680 Oh, yeah. 03:30:05.680 --> 03:30:08.240 This is like, I mean, we could say it all day. 03:30:08.240 --> 03:30:11.980 It's just a very clean performance from Rebellion. 03:30:11.980 --> 03:30:14.740 A pandas definitely cleaned up them from the last time. 03:30:14.740 --> 03:30:21.420 we saw them to they've had moments of it being a little bit shaky, but it definitely well rounded 03:30:21.420 --> 03:30:26.820 themselves back out. My eyes fall to foot though. I'm curious what they're able to bring to the 03:30:26.820 --> 03:30:34.580 table in this game too. That would even give them a fighting chance. Yeah, they're gonna 03:30:34.580 --> 03:30:40.620 need to mix things up. I think one is just finding a way to get some possession out 03:30:40.620 --> 03:30:46.100 of the defensive end to not be playing catch up to rebellion to find a way to make that 03:30:46.100 --> 03:30:50.120 first attack or miss the ball so you can get some breathing room and then have a teammate 03:30:50.120 --> 03:30:52.220 upfield to work with. 03:30:52.220 --> 03:30:54.340 Right now it has been all rebellion. 03:30:54.340 --> 03:30:56.060 There's been no answers for foot. 03:30:56.060 --> 03:31:00.420 They were very flat for that entire game that the one chance they had weren't able 03:31:00.420 --> 03:31:04.660 to put it in and it's going to take so much more than that to be able to take 03:31:04.660 --> 03:31:09.020 down rebellion, let alone just get a single game with. 03:31:09.020 --> 03:31:17.020 the game. Well, so far it is 03:31:17.020 --> 03:31:18.020 been a long journey ahead for 03:31:18.020 --> 03:31:19.020 this team. They've been 03:31:19.020 --> 03:31:20.020 waiting all day to get to 03:31:20.020 --> 03:31:21.020 this point. And unfortunately, 03:31:21.020 --> 03:31:22.020 they got away a little bit 03:31:22.020 --> 03:31:24.020 longer on that one. But that 03:31:24.020 --> 03:31:26.020 being said, this is that 03:31:26.020 --> 03:31:28.020 mental part of the game that 03:31:28.020 --> 03:31:30.020 I love talking about where 03:31:30.020 --> 03:31:32.020 you do kind of get that 03:31:32.020 --> 03:31:34.020 cheated time out that you 03:31:34.020 --> 03:31:36.020 can talk a little bit. If 03:31:36.020 --> 03:31:38.020 you want, I'm sure somebody 03:31:38.020 --> 03:31:41.420 whether it's just a mental thing or an actual game plan. 03:31:41.420 --> 03:31:45.340 But I don't know, just after that game one, 03:31:45.340 --> 03:31:49.700 they just look so solid as far as Shopify was concerned. 03:31:49.700 --> 03:31:53.140 Yeah, it definitely seems like this little pause here 03:31:53.140 --> 03:31:56.340 that we're having as we get the next server made. 03:31:56.340 --> 03:31:58.780 There was an issue with the last one. 03:31:58.780 --> 03:32:00.660 One of the players requesting a remake. 03:32:00.660 --> 03:32:04.380 So we are getting the next server made here very shortly. 03:32:04.380 --> 03:32:07.140 But definitely feels like this little break 03:32:07.140 --> 03:32:12.540 will help foot because, I mean, I don't think it could have gotten much worse for him in terms 03:32:12.540 --> 03:32:18.260 on the field. I guess just the number of goals could have been worse, but in terms of the 03:32:18.260 --> 03:32:22.100 chance that foot had to win, it just felt like they had no chance that last game. It 03:32:22.100 --> 03:32:29.980 was all a domination from Rebellion, the speed, the boost control, the possession, 03:32:29.980 --> 03:32:34.900 the shot placement. You even had that little bit of mechanical excellence from Kulfer 03:32:34.900 --> 03:32:39.620 getting that flip reset past the first defender and then tipping it past cheese. I mean when you 03:32:39.620 --> 03:32:46.260 score goals like that that Kofor scored in a 3v3 game I mean it makes such a huge difference 03:32:46.260 --> 03:32:52.900 especially with how good defenses are nowadays. Agreed I also Kofor is just that player that 03:32:52.900 --> 03:32:57.300 he was brought in the most recently out of everybody on the roster right so there has always been 03:32:57.300 --> 03:33:02.980 this extra small very very small amount of pressure but pressure nonetheless to definitely 03:33:02.980 --> 03:33:06.980 the team. So I think that's 03:33:07.080 --> 03:33:08.880 really important. And I really 03:33:08.980 --> 03:33:10.880 keep up and perform to the 03:33:10.980 --> 03:33:12.880 likes of the names of somebody 03:33:12.980 --> 03:33:14.880 like first killer and LJ right 03:33:14.980 --> 03:33:16.880 so. Him having performances 03:33:16.980 --> 03:33:18.880 like this way more often than 03:33:18.980 --> 03:33:21.880 not is just such a great time 03:33:21.980 --> 03:33:23.880 for this team, but I don't I 03:33:23.980 --> 03:33:24.880 don't want to praise them 03:33:24.980 --> 03:33:26.880 too much and not give flowers 03:33:26.980 --> 03:33:27.880 to foot on the other end of 03:33:27.980 --> 03:33:29.880 things. But he sport has had 03:33:29.980 --> 03:33:30.880 success in their own right. 03:33:30.980 --> 03:33:32.880 This is a team of people that 03:33:32.980 --> 03:33:37.620 round it out, whatever roster they had been on at the time. So it's about them finding their footing 03:33:37.620 --> 03:33:42.980 together, no pun intended, and they're still trying to figure that out. It does seem like it. You 03:33:42.980 --> 03:33:47.940 heard Gazer and mentioned a little bit about the expectations of the team. Maybe it's the 03:33:47.940 --> 03:33:52.100 reality of it. It's starting to set in. But another thing to point out as well is that this 03:33:52.100 --> 03:33:58.020 is not an elimination match. This is a match to skip ahead to the top four, go right to the 03:33:58.020 --> 03:34:02.340 semifinals you're not out of it if you lose this match so the pressure not on 03:34:02.340 --> 03:34:06.480 as much as it could be but when you're looking at the world championship you're 03:34:06.480 --> 03:34:10.940 looking at the Paris Major especially if your foot who you know scrapped their 03:34:10.940 --> 03:34:16.260 points due to me and you know getting on an entirely new team they they've got 03:34:16.260 --> 03:34:19.720 a lot of ground to make up and I think this foot team after the early 03:34:19.720 --> 03:34:23.960 success they've had do believe that they they have what it takes to make 03:34:23.960 --> 03:34:27.240 a major they have what it takes to make a world championship run but 03:34:27.240 --> 03:34:31.400 it's going to be serious like this where they really prove that and in this first game it 03:34:31.400 --> 03:34:38.320 just seems like they have not had the answer to Shopify rebellion who have looked unstoppable. 03:34:38.320 --> 03:34:44.840 Absolutely agree. There was a time you know a long time ago where there had been you know 03:34:44.840 --> 03:34:48.080 a small fighting chance against Shopify for this team but like you said there's just 03:34:48.080 --> 03:34:52.840 been so many changes and nothing seems to be the right puzzle pieces coming together. 03:34:52.840 --> 03:34:56.240 Hopefully they can sort something out here. We'll see. There's only one way to find 03:34:56.240 --> 03:35:02.320 out. That's to throw them back into the lobby and see what foot e-sports can bring to this game too. 03:35:03.920 --> 03:35:10.400 Well we're getting back into it. Forbidden temple. Game two about to get underway. Thank you 03:35:10.400 --> 03:35:16.080 everybody at home for your patience as we got this one back going. Also a little bit of a 03:35:16.080 --> 03:35:21.840 surprise. I don't know if you were keeping an eye on your second monitor but team Falcons have 03:35:21.840 --> 03:35:28.240 been knocked out by RA. That's actually insane. I didn't have my eyes on it this 03:35:28.240 --> 03:35:31.120 time. I had them at the beginning of the day when they were in the back and forth. 03:35:32.320 --> 03:35:37.360 I think you know Rocket League's evolving. New players are showing up. Connick's now 03:35:37.360 --> 03:35:44.800 on the attack for foot and the whole world is in mayhem. But a strong start here for foot. 03:35:46.640 --> 03:35:51.120 It didn't seem like they were close to a goal last game. This time Star went out 12 seconds. 03:35:51.840 --> 03:35:57.920 It's a great place to be if you're foot, you want to come into this one way differently 03:35:57.920 --> 03:36:01.740 than you did in the first cheese coming out with a big demo here for Chronic to try and 03:36:01.740 --> 03:36:02.820 follow up. 03:36:02.820 --> 03:36:07.460 Almost a double off the side, it's a big shot on net. 03:36:07.460 --> 03:36:11.560 Double save out, first killer calls himself off on it, Kofir just takes the initiative, 03:36:11.560 --> 03:36:14.260 you see LJ lurking on the side too. 03:36:14.260 --> 03:36:18.660 And this is just a little bit of a shock for Shopify, having to be playing down 03:36:18.660 --> 03:36:19.660 this early on. 03:36:22.460 --> 03:36:24.820 Right on the flip side, plenty of time to get things back going. 03:36:24.820 --> 03:36:27.940 I'm sure they're not sweating too much at the moment. 03:36:28.900 --> 03:36:33.940 Chronic trying to add one more little pop up lock by first killer down to cheese. 03:36:33.940 --> 03:36:36.940 Cheese keeps it close, tries to go under, does go under. 03:36:36.940 --> 03:36:39.820 It goes for a goal, but first killer saves it a side. 03:36:39.820 --> 03:36:44.020 However, chronic there, chronic flip reset, setting up Justin. 03:36:44.020 --> 03:36:45.820 Justin light shot towards net. 03:36:45.820 --> 03:36:46.820 It's good. 03:36:46.820 --> 03:36:53.820 There's that shooter that we were talking about before, but also shout out to Cromick for the assist. 03:36:53.820 --> 03:36:57.820 It's not just some basic assist. It's a reset to re-center it. 03:36:57.820 --> 03:37:01.820 Or Justin to even have the time to take that shot. 03:37:01.820 --> 03:37:05.820 So a big play all the way around for foot e-squirts to go up. 03:37:05.820 --> 03:37:08.820 And a nice shot there from Justin as well if you watched. 03:37:08.820 --> 03:37:12.820 You can see first kill was actually positioning for a hit towards the corner. 03:37:12.820 --> 03:37:16.860 was not expecting Justin to take that shot. 03:37:16.860 --> 03:37:20.500 And though the shot didn't have a lot of punch to it, 03:37:20.500 --> 03:37:23.260 it had the surprise factor enough to break through. 03:37:23.260 --> 03:37:25.700 And now a two goal lead for foot. 03:37:25.700 --> 03:37:27.980 What a bounce back they've had. 03:37:27.980 --> 03:37:32.700 Yeah, this is a huge comeback for this team right now. 03:37:32.700 --> 03:37:35.980 But we'll see how long it lasts so far. 03:37:35.980 --> 03:37:37.580 Shock, fire, belly, and the attack 03:37:37.580 --> 03:37:39.220 feels a little bit short lived. 03:37:39.220 --> 03:37:41.420 She's managed to break them past the midline 03:37:41.420 --> 03:37:49.220 and Kofir first killer retreat in regained possession for Shopify and LJ is already upfield ready for his attack 03:37:52.220 --> 03:37:56.500 Well, they did get the Bruce steel allowing Kofir to win that ball high 03:37:57.340 --> 03:38:02.840 But a nice defensive stop by Justin Justin buying time for his teammates to get back into the picture 03:38:04.420 --> 03:38:07.600 Geez on the dribble hard flick off the bar 03:38:11.420 --> 03:38:18.500 It's been so interesting what this flip team is how they said one up because I was gonna say it's gonna happen again eventually 03:38:18.740 --> 03:38:22.900 Jesus been the one that they're allowing to kind of just have his way with the field here 03:38:22.900 --> 03:38:25.220 And there he is again waiting to make the catch 03:38:25.540 --> 03:38:29.860 Chronic finds him it's wide open at that point and footy sports 03:38:29.860 --> 03:38:34.420 They're trying to play the catch-off guard game with rebellion this time it works out 03:38:35.020 --> 03:38:39.900 And both times they were caught off guard were because of chronic chronic 03:38:39.900 --> 03:38:44.900 getting that little flip reset before and then that touch off the ceiling against 03:38:44.900 --> 03:38:50.460 stunning the defense of rebellion and chronic going for gold this time it gets 03:38:50.460 --> 03:38:56.100 the dunk on Tilthor for Kofor he got the first save but chronic follows 03:38:56.100 --> 03:39:00.500 through with the second shot it's just a clean setup from Justin but the 03:39:00.500 --> 03:39:06.620 double dunk off Kofor is so much better we've all had our eyes on Justin 03:39:06.620 --> 03:39:13.540 statistically he is the one but chronic he's the OG from this generation he's 03:39:13.540 --> 03:39:17.780 going up against team and you know a team that didn't believe in him at one 03:39:17.780 --> 03:39:20.940 point in time whether it was one teammate or the other and now that halfway 03:39:20.940 --> 03:39:26.180 point of 4-0 is the most disgusting response they could have had to that 03:39:26.180 --> 03:39:34.140 game one loss. Yeah, reference back to the Ultimates. Chronic. 03:39:34.140 --> 03:39:38.260 Thank you. People want to wonder if he was the problem on that team. Well, I think chronic 03:39:38.260 --> 03:39:42.300 maybe playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder showing you what he's made of in this 03:39:42.300 --> 03:39:50.100 game. 100% goal participation for chronic great passing. Nice shooting. Really leaving 03:39:50.100 --> 03:39:54.700 his mark on the game. 03:39:54.700 --> 03:39:57.740 Justin's taking his time with it, has a flip to work with here, 03:39:57.740 --> 03:39:59.380 pings out off the side. 03:39:59.380 --> 03:40:00.380 Oh-ho-ho! 03:40:00.380 --> 03:40:02.780 Kroenig running it back! 03:40:02.780 --> 03:40:07.060 And running circles around Rebellion, just in the pitch pass, 03:40:07.060 --> 03:40:08.220 catches the defense out. 03:40:08.220 --> 03:40:10.220 Kofor dives in early. 03:40:10.220 --> 03:40:12.220 And instead of just ripping a shot right away, 03:40:12.220 --> 03:40:14.820 Kofor goes for the self pass. 03:40:14.820 --> 03:40:18.100 Kofor left flailing. 03:40:18.100 --> 03:40:20.420 And that was a beauty by Kronig, 03:40:20.420 --> 03:40:22.140 who's already got a hat trick. 03:40:22.140 --> 03:40:24.500 It's straight bait at this point. 03:40:24.500 --> 03:40:28.300 Chronic has learned from the absolute best. 03:40:28.300 --> 03:40:29.860 Like you said, there's in a world 03:40:29.860 --> 03:40:34.540 a small chip on his shoulder, in the back of his mind. 03:40:34.540 --> 03:40:36.900 But that is definitely not the priority here. 03:40:36.900 --> 03:40:38.900 A 5-0 is a statement. 03:40:38.900 --> 03:40:39.900 That is the goal. 03:40:39.900 --> 03:40:45.580 LJ shot, no goal in sight. 03:40:45.580 --> 03:40:46.860 That has to hurt. 03:40:46.860 --> 03:40:47.780 Rebellion, Rebellion. 03:40:47.780 --> 03:40:51.220 It looks like it was going to be a simple tap in. 03:40:51.220 --> 03:40:57.220 Well, we've seen that a couple times today where the ball bouncing hard on the goal line, it just gets away from him. 03:40:57.220 --> 03:40:59.220 Just can't make the read. 03:40:59.220 --> 03:41:04.220 And even if that goes in, I don't think it makes much of a difference in the overall story of the game. 03:41:04.220 --> 03:41:10.220 Chronic has been on a tear forcing that ball through, trying to get things done. 03:41:10.220 --> 03:41:14.220 Overall, this was the response that you hoped for. 03:41:14.220 --> 03:41:20.220 If you're a foot fan, well, that's to put their foot down up five to nothing right now in the final minute. 03:41:20.220 --> 03:41:25.200 minute after game one I would have not predicted that hurdle it looks like 03:41:25.200 --> 03:41:29.700 rebellion had figured them out oh hundred percent I don't think hardly 03:41:29.700 --> 03:41:34.460 anyone predicted them not only come back but you to come back in such a 03:41:34.460 --> 03:41:40.540 convincing fashion this is not a one-off this is them prioritizing chronic 03:41:40.540 --> 03:41:45.980 and cheese just allowing Justin to put on it almost a flow state if you want 03:41:45.980 --> 03:41:54.740 15 seconds on the clock at the shopping co for an even one for the road isn't allowed final 10 03:41:54.740 --> 03:42:02.740 shot by rebellion trying to get one for the road and after the first game I'm even tonight on 03:42:02.740 --> 03:42:08.180 the goal line there about as rough of a game to as you can have for shop by rebellion a beat 03:42:08.180 --> 03:42:17.060 down by foot and a step up by chronic 100% goal participation on the five goals a hat trick 03:42:17.060 --> 03:42:23.060 for chronic as well it wasn't team effort but a chronic was certainly leading the charge 03:42:23.860 --> 03:42:31.620 this is such a great performance from chronic of 861 points to his name it's just 03:42:32.340 --> 03:42:37.540 absolutely incredible and this is what you want from somebody like chronic too that was 03:42:38.180 --> 03:42:40.340 I feel like something that was always missing from him 03:42:40.340 --> 03:42:44.580 on previous rosters was getting a consistent pop off from him. 03:42:44.580 --> 03:42:48.260 So not having to ask for that to happen so late in the series 03:42:48.260 --> 03:42:50.180 so your team can really start to get 03:42:50.180 --> 03:42:52.940 into the swing of things is such a good sign for them. 03:42:52.940 --> 03:42:55.180 So chronic popping off in game two. 03:42:55.180 --> 03:42:57.860 I mean, here it is again, it's the Justin shot, 03:42:57.860 --> 03:43:00.580 but after this, it is set up after set up 03:43:00.580 --> 03:43:02.900 for this team overall. 03:43:02.900 --> 03:43:08.980 And mental toughness as well from foot to be able to bounce back 03:43:08.980 --> 03:43:13.380 after such a lackluster game one. 03:43:13.380 --> 03:43:16.340 But I think if you're either team now, you can just point to, 03:43:16.340 --> 03:43:17.860 if you're a rebellion point to game one, 03:43:17.860 --> 03:43:19.700 be like, we can do this to them. 03:43:19.700 --> 03:43:21.700 And if you're a foot, though, you're thinking, yeah, well, 03:43:21.700 --> 03:43:23.860 we could hit you right back. 03:43:23.860 --> 03:43:25.900 Really one-sided games. 03:43:25.900 --> 03:43:27.900 But we're sitting here at 1-1 in the series. 03:43:27.900 --> 03:43:29.620 So I am not sure what to make of it. 03:43:29.620 --> 03:43:31.140 Looking ahead to game three, will this 03:43:31.140 --> 03:43:35.300 and be a little bit closer when we get another one-sided game. 03:43:35.300 --> 03:43:38.900 I definitely expect, you know, rebellion to come 03:43:38.900 --> 03:43:42.780 and definitely change things from that previous game. 03:43:42.780 --> 03:43:45.580 However, if what are able to keep up 03:43:45.580 --> 03:43:47.900 the same level of performance that we just got from them, 03:43:47.900 --> 03:43:52.220 I see a world where they just absolutely dominate. 03:43:52.220 --> 03:43:55.260 See if that world is indeed reality. 03:43:55.260 --> 03:43:57.540 Chronic, the fake, goes across, 03:43:57.540 --> 03:44:00.940 hits it up to Justin who will lob it downfield. 03:44:00.940 --> 03:44:03.140 Boom from LJ back to the middle, risky ball. 03:44:03.140 --> 03:44:04.860 Now hard off the side while first killer 03:44:04.860 --> 03:44:06.820 has to jump almost, gets bumped. 03:44:06.820 --> 03:44:08.700 Bit chaotic here for rebellion. 03:44:08.700 --> 03:44:09.820 Things starting to break down. 03:44:09.820 --> 03:44:11.220 LJ trying to keep this in the corner. 03:44:11.220 --> 03:44:13.060 Cheese pops it up for Justin. 03:44:13.060 --> 03:44:15.060 Justin taps it down off the board. 03:44:15.060 --> 03:44:16.940 It's kept out by Kofur. 03:44:16.940 --> 03:44:18.780 Back to back fifties from Kronik. 03:44:18.780 --> 03:44:21.140 But foot are starting to pressure. 03:44:21.140 --> 03:44:22.580 This is not going to stop here either. 03:44:22.580 --> 03:44:24.460 Cheese was still trying to keep that play going. 03:44:24.460 --> 03:44:26.380 It's that clear that gave some breathing room 03:44:26.380 --> 03:44:28.300 to Shopify. 03:44:28.300 --> 03:44:31.740 LJ Center, shot bar, Cheese keeps this one out, 03:44:31.740 --> 03:44:33.660 and here comes the return attack. 03:44:36.060 --> 03:44:38.900 Demo, the corner boost grab, heck of a 50, 03:44:38.900 --> 03:44:41.820 but somehow, Kofur, lost his way through 03:44:41.820 --> 03:44:43.080 to deny that shot. 03:44:45.620 --> 03:44:48.660 For it, have done such a great job 03:44:48.660 --> 03:44:50.420 of keeping up the pace, 03:44:50.420 --> 03:44:52.900 they're forcing Rebellion to be a little bit 03:44:52.900 --> 03:44:54.860 uncomfortable right now, because Rebellion 03:44:54.860 --> 03:44:57.300 really can't get a grip on this ball, 03:44:57.300 --> 03:44:59.740 It's a musty out and no connect to first killer. 03:44:59.740 --> 03:45:02.540 Although he does get this away from the bounce off chronic. 03:45:02.540 --> 03:45:04.900 All three members of foot ready in line 03:45:04.900 --> 03:45:07.240 to just take these challenges as they come. 03:45:08.780 --> 03:45:11.820 LJ, freaking back. 03:45:11.820 --> 03:45:12.660 It's a hit downfield. 03:45:12.660 --> 03:45:14.660 She is going to retreat all the way back to the corner. 03:45:14.660 --> 03:45:16.780 Culver corner pass, chronic, 03:45:16.780 --> 03:45:17.740 bringing it up in the midfield. 03:45:17.740 --> 03:45:19.260 But this is a ball for first killer. 03:45:19.260 --> 03:45:21.140 It's up, taking it to the air. 03:45:21.140 --> 03:45:22.900 First killer launches it toward the backboard. 03:45:22.900 --> 03:45:24.620 They do land two demos. 03:45:24.620 --> 03:45:29.420 Go for it first killer both up cheese first of the ball chronic hits it off the 03:45:29.420 --> 03:45:34.340 side ball chance for Justin Justin shot will go high and wide but Justin does 03:45:34.340 --> 03:45:39.380 grab the corner boost that devil commit from rebellion when they had space a bit 03:45:39.380 --> 03:45:43.820 alarming for rebellion there's a devil on the goal line by chronic but have 03:45:43.820 --> 03:45:48.260 looked deadly this bottle roll all the way back she's picking up the 03:45:48.260 --> 03:45:52.340 corner boost trying to go full field interesting thing too is even when it 03:45:52.340 --> 03:45:56.820 Play that back pass there. Rebellion's priority isn't even picking up pads anymore. 03:45:56.820 --> 03:46:01.700 It's just trying to retain some bit of possession here. First killer leaves it down to LJ. 03:46:02.420 --> 03:46:06.980 LJ out into the corner. Jesus, done a really good job of collecting a lot of these air sections, 03:46:06.980 --> 03:46:10.260 allowing Chronic and Dustin to get these clears out to the other side. 03:46:11.140 --> 03:46:18.020 As that halfway point approaches, here comes the next attempt from Shopify Rebellion. 03:46:18.020 --> 03:46:22.020 Oh, wow, it's Chronic clogging the lane at the perfect time. 03:46:22.020 --> 03:46:24.140 Our creative approach, first killer's also off the ceiling. 03:46:24.140 --> 03:46:28.980 Pitch pass to first killer, but the play broke it up. 03:46:28.980 --> 03:46:32.540 Rebellion, though, starting to get going offensively. 03:46:32.540 --> 03:46:34.660 First killer with the mid boost up against the no-boost. 03:46:34.660 --> 03:46:36.300 Chronic, hard hit. 03:46:36.300 --> 03:46:38.420 Off the arc and down, Justin and Cheese both go. 03:46:38.420 --> 03:46:41.460 Cheese with another tap of Kofur will look for LJ. 03:46:41.460 --> 03:46:44.060 LJ has the play broken up, Kofur. 03:46:44.060 --> 03:46:44.900 Tap up. 03:46:44.900 --> 03:46:47.340 LJ first on the scene, first killer up now. 03:46:47.340 --> 03:46:55.740 First killer delayed shot off the post narrow miss for first killer and that is only the third shot 03:46:55.740 --> 03:47:04.060 attempt for rebellion that's even registered across the board nine shots two foot eastboard so right 03:47:04.060 --> 03:47:09.340 now it is a quality versus quantity game between the two here comes foot again just in on the 03:47:09.340 --> 03:47:15.900 corner it's a great read from lj but it's not gonna stop them quite yet it's cheese on down 03:47:15.900 --> 03:47:18.860 Almost dead ball, but Justin already in the air. 03:47:18.860 --> 03:47:21.340 Justin, on that touch. 03:47:21.340 --> 03:47:22.700 Chronic, over to Cheese. 03:47:22.700 --> 03:47:24.460 Lovely lead there for Cheese. 03:47:24.460 --> 03:47:26.180 Cheese, up and over one. 03:47:26.180 --> 03:47:28.340 Chronic, goes for the top corner. 03:47:28.340 --> 03:47:30.940 Justin on the rebound, he scores it. 03:47:33.340 --> 03:47:36.260 This is high level communication. 03:47:36.260 --> 03:47:40.540 This is also just for a belly in, falling apart on there. 03:47:40.540 --> 03:47:42.780 And you saw Kofor bump it. 03:47:42.780 --> 03:47:46.120 I believe it was first killer there on the back line. 03:47:46.120 --> 03:47:49.060 They are just all over the place, 03:47:49.060 --> 03:47:52.320 and Foot are taking advantage of it. 03:47:52.320 --> 03:47:55.160 And you're seeing professional finishing from Justin. 03:47:55.160 --> 03:47:56.760 He's been so surgical. 03:47:56.760 --> 03:47:58.440 He's not pelting the ball. 03:47:58.440 --> 03:48:00.040 He's just placing it perfectly. 03:48:00.040 --> 03:48:02.880 He's spotting out where he needs to hit it. 03:48:02.880 --> 03:48:03.880 And he's putting it there. 03:48:03.880 --> 03:48:08.380 He is coming up big time for Foot. 03:48:08.380 --> 03:48:10.880 And the synergy is there. 03:48:10.880 --> 03:48:13.680 From Barbellion answering back that one tonight!

No one goes for the pass! 03:50:34.100 --> 03:50:40.100 The shot! Back to 1st killer! He wasn't able to put it in the ballroom that was there, and somehow... 03:50:40.100 --> 03:50:43.100 Foot come out with a save, but they're still under pressure. 03:50:43.100 --> 03:50:48.100 Pressure is not dead yet, like you said. Even on the low boost, they're still managing the clears, 03:50:48.100 --> 03:50:53.100 and they finally get out of their half, and a lot of it thanks to Chronic. Here he comes again. 03:50:53.100 --> 03:50:55.260 Again, another challenge to First Killer. 03:50:55.260 --> 03:50:57.820 LJ just wants them out past the Comfort. 03:50:57.820 --> 03:51:01.500 That backboard and sidewall both protected by foot. 03:51:01.500 --> 03:51:03.260 And LJ's just trying to get the sneak, 03:51:03.260 --> 03:51:06.000 but it's not gonna happen. 03:51:06.000 --> 03:51:07.340 Oh, Justin needed the help. 03:51:07.340 --> 03:51:09.940 They're having dodged the bump and get the same. 03:51:09.940 --> 03:51:11.620 Justin doing so much work. 03:51:11.620 --> 03:51:14.180 A big 50 from First Killer in the corner. 03:51:14.180 --> 03:51:18.260 Shopify Rebellion starting to close their grip. 03:51:18.260 --> 03:51:19.620 A big clear out. 03:51:19.620 --> 03:51:21.580 First Killer has to play this well. 03:51:21.580 --> 03:51:24.440 Goes for a pop-up to LJ.

You saw him take that first touch in field. 03:52:45.840 --> 03:52:48.800 You could see what chronic was thinking. 03:52:48.800 --> 03:52:51.600 He was thinking that first killer was going to get the touch, 03:52:51.600 --> 03:52:53.600 go back to the middle, take the shot. 03:52:53.600 --> 03:52:56.760 But chronic, I mean, he was having to fight through contact 03:52:56.760 --> 03:52:59.240 on the goal line. 03:52:59.240 --> 03:53:02.440 Team effort there from Rebellion able to get that win. 03:53:02.440 --> 03:53:03.640 But that was a tight game. 03:53:03.640 --> 03:53:07.160 We saw game one, very one sided in favor of Rebellion. 03:53:07.160 --> 03:53:09.600 Game two, very one sided in favor of foot. 03:53:09.600 --> 03:53:13.680 This game was so, so close. 03:53:13.680 --> 03:53:17.840 And also we got a bit of a surprise here after that win, 03:53:17.840 --> 03:53:20.920 a timeout being called, but this timeout being called 03:53:20.920 --> 03:53:22.760 by Rebellion. 03:53:22.760 --> 03:53:25.920 Honestly, I think it is a valid timeout 03:53:25.920 --> 03:53:31.160 because realistically, it wasn't the most 100% 03:53:31.160 --> 03:53:33.000 guaranteed win ever, right? 03:53:33.000 --> 03:53:36.680 It was a very clear battle between First Killer 03:53:36.680 --> 03:53:37.440 and Chronic. 03:53:37.440 --> 03:53:40.480 Statistically, they went nearly matching 03:53:40.480 --> 03:53:42.200 in the same eight shots to Chronic. 03:53:42.200 --> 03:53:44.200 the first two goals, right? 03:53:44.200 --> 03:53:46.200 But I mean, you almost got to 03:53:46.200 --> 03:53:48.200 give yourself a little bit of a 03:53:48.200 --> 03:53:50.200 breather even at that point with 03:53:50.200 --> 03:53:52.200 how intense that follow up even 03:53:52.200 --> 03:53:54.200 had to become. Oh, it was very 03:53:54.200 --> 03:53:56.200 tense. I mean, that game could 03:53:56.200 --> 03:53:58.200 have gone either way. I think 03:53:58.200 --> 03:54:00.200 for foot, they'll still have a 03:54:00.200 --> 03:54:02.200 lot of confidence, but rebellion. 03:54:02.200 --> 03:54:04.200 You know, in the big picture, 03:54:04.200 --> 03:54:06.200 they have looked good. They've 03:54:06.200 --> 03:54:08.200 been able to have those 03:54:08.200 --> 03:54:10.200 individual mechanical players 03:54:10.200 --> 03:54:16.140 have those individual mechanical plays from Kofur. The teamwork was there, especially in 03:54:16.140 --> 03:54:20.640 game one. And that thing for Rebellion fans, and a lot of people who've watched a lot of 03:54:20.640 --> 03:54:25.080 Rebellion, that's really the indicator of success, or the way for Rebellion to break 03:54:25.080 --> 03:54:30.280 through to the next level is being able to bring some of those plays. Like you see 03:54:30.280 --> 03:54:37.400 a team like NRG or a team like K Corp, teams that have such good synergy, they work 03:54:37.400 --> 03:54:41.880 together, they get those passing plays. They're creative in how they approach the ball together. 03:54:41.880 --> 03:54:47.080 I think that is really the one thing that you're hoping to see from Rebellion this time. 03:54:47.080 --> 03:54:50.840 Now they got the job done. It was a bump play that helped out in the end. 03:54:50.840 --> 03:54:55.560 A really nice first touch from First Killer, but I think, you know, for this team, 03:54:55.560 --> 03:55:01.160 the expectations on Rebellion are so high. First Killer, especially a lot of people look at 03:55:01.160 --> 03:55:06.600 this guy as, you know, it being numerous times in North America, many times in his career, 03:55:06.600 --> 03:55:11.400 the number one talent in NA but he has not been able to get those major titles to prove it. 03:55:13.560 --> 03:55:19.240 Well this is definitely one of those times this we are living in a timeline where first killer is 03:55:19.240 --> 03:55:26.360 on top in a way where he should in theory be winning everything with LJ and cofer by his side. 03:55:27.160 --> 03:55:32.920 It's taken a chronic popping off would just to slow them down and they're right back in it 03:55:32.920 --> 03:55:39.000 like they never left a beautiful kickoff here for what the 50 killing it straight 03:55:39.000 --> 03:55:43.200 back chronic stays on field cold fur doesn't really have a chance 03:55:43.200 --> 03:55:49.000 products isn't that booze but it didn't matter I love that placement from 03:55:49.000 --> 03:55:54.440 chronic to that's just it at that point it's just or the way he's shown up in 03:55:54.440 --> 03:55:59.140 this series is so different waterfall down onto the nose of LJ up the side 03:55:59.140 --> 03:56:01.140 While here cheeses the one back 03:56:01.420 --> 03:56:05.860 Justin tried to get him back in time give him a little bit of space. It's a good decent clear 03:56:06.580 --> 03:56:12.180 Although cofer working together with LJ's cut is not going to be enough to slow foot down 03:56:13.340 --> 03:56:17.700 Justin trying to get the bomb back to the reset first killer didn't fall for it and first killer now 03:56:17.700 --> 03:56:22.920 We'll hit it down field bump attempt to fly cofer cofer known for his aggression 03:56:22.920 --> 03:56:30.200 back as they come up on the snowman and SSG Coper was deadly with those bumps and demos 03:56:30.200 --> 03:56:32.720 see if that play style comes out in this game 03:56:32.720 --> 03:56:42.520 definitely anticipate you know some form of aggression because not only is Coper you know 03:56:42.520 --> 03:56:48.320 one of those known demo whereas so is first killer and LJ's you know been teammates with 03:56:48.320 --> 03:56:50.760 So the most aggressive people of all time. 03:56:50.760 --> 03:56:54.560 So they are set up to be those people, 03:56:54.560 --> 03:57:00.560 but Krohnik and Justin are just absolutely on a tear. 03:57:00.560 --> 03:57:02.440 First killer for Kofa. 03:57:02.440 --> 03:57:05.720 Kofa had jumped as well, and Eldy doesn't have any boost. 03:57:05.720 --> 03:57:07.560 Still will find Kofa. 03:57:07.560 --> 03:57:10.240 Kronik shutting the door on that top corner shot. 03:57:10.240 --> 03:57:13.400 Well placed, powerful shot from Kofa. 03:57:13.400 --> 03:57:16.600 But the defense standing tall yet again for foot. 03:57:16.600 --> 03:57:19.480 So full commit right now to front foot esports. 03:57:19.480 --> 03:57:22.940 Finally, was cheese calling himself back. 03:57:22.940 --> 03:57:24.900 Even on the low boost moments, 03:57:24.900 --> 03:57:27.960 foot isn't going too far into the retreat. 03:57:27.960 --> 03:57:31.160 So they're ready for their moment. 03:57:31.160 --> 03:57:32.760 Just didn't cheese together. 03:57:32.760 --> 03:57:33.600 There it is. 03:57:33.600 --> 03:57:34.440 That's what I was talking about. 03:57:34.440 --> 03:57:35.680 I'm waiting for the quick cut. 03:57:35.680 --> 03:57:36.920 And you finally get it here. 03:57:36.920 --> 03:57:39.000 It starts with a challenge on LJ. 03:57:39.000 --> 03:57:39.840 And look at the time. 03:57:39.840 --> 03:57:44.340 It's a clean, slow pass. 03:57:44.340 --> 03:57:48.080 Well, I mean, even before that, you could see Justin wins the 50. 03:57:48.080 --> 03:57:51.020 Jump through Cuffer's expecting him to push it towards backward, 03:57:51.020 --> 03:57:55.140 but he just catches it and brings it back out to the middle. 03:57:55.140 --> 03:57:57.860 That experience from Justin, he's seen all the plays. 03:57:57.860 --> 03:57:59.860 He's been there, done that. 03:57:59.860 --> 03:58:01.980 Find creative ways to break down the defense. 03:58:01.980 --> 03:58:04.460 Great stuff from Justin. 03:58:04.460 --> 03:58:06.500 They're going to try to do it again here. 03:58:06.500 --> 03:58:08.020 Hasn't stopped quite yet. 03:58:08.020 --> 03:58:09.740 She's losing to Justin. 03:58:09.740 --> 03:58:11.100 They play this one out to the side, 03:58:11.100 --> 03:58:12.380 tries to get the read on it. 03:58:12.380 --> 03:58:13.380 first killer intercept. 03:58:15.880 --> 03:58:20.380 Still, up by two, we're gonna seek hen rebellion, 03:58:21.260 --> 03:58:23.580 find anything so far that haven't actually been able 03:58:23.580 --> 03:58:28.580 to hold on to any possession, despite having a handful. 03:58:29.300 --> 03:58:30.980 I mean, they've only had one registered shot, 03:58:30.980 --> 03:58:32.980 but a handful at least towards an A. 03:58:34.620 --> 03:58:36.940 Got time on attack, another chance here, 03:58:36.940 --> 03:58:39.100 but double demos come out. 03:58:39.100 --> 03:58:40.700 LJ and first killer getting demoed, 03:58:40.700 --> 03:58:45.700 But Koper will hold things down long enough for them to get boosted and get back in rotation. 03:58:45.700 --> 03:58:50.700 Back to the middle, first killer looking for LJ, LJ will he let it roll up?

04:02:56.940 --> 04:02:59.500 That time the play at the midfield opened up the space, 04:02:59.500 --> 04:03:00.820 and you saw the lead blocker play. 04:03:00.820 --> 04:03:02.500 The bump didn't even come through, 04:03:02.500 --> 04:03:05.660 but Justin also playing it so perfectly 04:03:05.660 --> 04:03:07.940 to just stay behind the ball and play the 50 04:03:07.940 --> 04:03:10.180 because he knows the defender is going to be busy 04:03:10.180 --> 04:03:13.100 heading backwards and trying to dodge that bump. 04:03:13.100 --> 04:03:14.340 Smart plays. 04:03:14.340 --> 04:03:16.740 And the other thing is, well, they're not only smart plays 04:03:16.740 --> 04:03:19.780 from Justin, but the execution has been there. 04:03:19.780 --> 04:03:22.580 I mean, the one mistake was the double commit 04:03:22.580 --> 04:03:23.740 by Justin and Cheese. 04:03:23.740 --> 04:03:24.860 That was a big mistake there. 04:03:24.860 --> 04:03:27.060 But to bounce back in that way, 04:03:27.060 --> 04:03:30.420 and to make such an impact play in OT, 04:03:30.420 --> 04:03:31.860 Justin has still got it. 04:03:31.860 --> 04:03:33.420 I'm telling you. 04:03:33.420 --> 04:03:35.780 Oh, Justin absolutely still has it. 04:03:35.780 --> 04:03:38.300 We've kind of been waiting for him for so long 04:03:38.300 --> 04:03:40.500 to really get into the swing of things again. 04:03:40.500 --> 04:03:42.380 And I think once we, 04:03:42.380 --> 04:03:45.740 I like to say on this roster in particular, 04:03:45.740 --> 04:03:48.420 we've kind of felt this second wind 04:03:48.420 --> 04:03:51.500 come out of his career after so long. 04:03:51.500 --> 04:03:54.540 It's so rare you see somebody stay in the game 04:03:54.540 --> 04:03:56.220 for this amount of time. 04:03:56.220 --> 04:03:58.900 And I don't know, there's just something special 04:03:58.900 --> 04:04:02.540 about these three that I've just really enjoyed so far. 04:04:02.540 --> 04:04:03.820 Yeah, I agree with you. 04:04:03.820 --> 04:04:07.300 It's a tough team to root against this foot team. 04:04:07.300 --> 04:04:09.060 Also, Justin, a tough player to root against. 04:04:09.060 --> 04:04:11.500 He's a player, if you look back in his career, 04:04:11.500 --> 04:04:14.220 he's just a guy who sticks with his teammates 04:04:14.220 --> 04:04:15.700 through thick and thin. 04:04:15.700 --> 04:04:17.860 And that's something I admire. 04:04:17.860 --> 04:04:21.060 And to see him back at this level, 04:04:21.060 --> 04:04:22.580 putting up performances like this 04:04:22.580 --> 04:04:25.100 against North America's best, 04:04:25.100 --> 04:04:26.500 it feels like a just reward. 04:04:30.300 --> 04:04:31.940 Covert down. 04:04:31.940 --> 04:04:35.460 Trying to slow down, you know, the star team right now. 04:04:36.820 --> 04:04:39.060 Although they have been the stars for quite some time, 04:04:39.060 --> 04:04:41.100 Rebellion has been at the top for quite a minute. 04:04:41.100 --> 04:04:43.220 First killer of the Coverts of White shot down 04:04:43.220 --> 04:04:44.220 in front of the net. 04:04:44.220 --> 04:04:51.980 It's Ak, I'm an odd first killer, trying to deal with it, keeps it close, doesn't panic, 04:04:51.980 --> 04:04:58.460 trying to stay behind it gets by Chronic, but Cheese pucks it off, Cheese slots it, steals 04:04:58.460 --> 04:05:02.740 the ball from first killer and knocks it in the neck. 04:05:02.740 --> 04:05:06.740 That's just a straight challenge and on the back end if you can catch a glimpse of 04:05:06.740 --> 04:05:11.980 it, Chronic on his way out, barely taps Kofi, it's just a recipe for success between 04:05:11.980 --> 04:05:12.980 them. 04:05:12.980 --> 04:05:18.980 Justin was chasing LJ, and then Kofler was being chased as well. 04:05:18.980 --> 04:05:21.980 Yeah, it was man to man. 04:05:21.980 --> 04:05:23.980 And it panned out. 04:05:27.980 --> 04:05:30.980 Cheese hits the block, needs to get back to this ball. 04:05:30.980 --> 04:05:32.980 First killer trying to make that read. 04:05:32.980 --> 04:05:34.980 First killer sees teammates in the middle, 04:05:34.980 --> 04:05:37.980 but could find an LJ that will steal the corner. 04:05:37.980 --> 04:05:40.980 Looks for a handoff to Kofler, finds it. 04:05:40.980 --> 04:05:44.980 The shot wasn't on target, but Justin will hit it to the corner anyway. 04:05:44.980 --> 04:05:47.980 Ball back towards net. Cheese will pick up the corner boost. 04:05:47.980 --> 04:05:51.980 Or no, he doesn't get it. He actually left that for chronic and will now put it to work. 04:05:51.980 --> 04:05:55.980 Pushing that past the midfield, Justin will bang it down field. 04:05:55.980 --> 04:05:59.980 I'll just have to play through the third two because there's got to be a level of respect 04:05:59.980 --> 04:06:05.980 given to how well foot has been able to connect with each other on these transitions out. 04:06:05.980 --> 04:06:12.380 Two up online bump on LJ. Although it is slow on the play. She still has possession 04:06:13.940 --> 04:06:15.940 Off the backboard should be shot opportunity 04:06:17.140 --> 04:06:19.980 And Justin cleans it up again and cheese 04:06:20.340 --> 04:06:24.420 He did beautifully here. You can see that first killer was playing the reset 04:06:24.420 --> 04:06:25.500 But Justin 04:06:25.500 --> 04:06:30.300 He's ready for the rebound cheese instead of getting the reset goes for the tap 04:06:30.300 --> 04:06:36.900 Which it wasn't enough to score but it was enough to make the ball unpredictable for the defense and 04:06:37.220 --> 04:06:41.600 Justin in those positions where he's got to be the cleanup shooter he has been 04:06:42.380 --> 04:06:48.740 Perfect and now again another goal for foot they keep piling it on and there's no time out for rebellion 04:06:48.860 --> 04:06:50.860 They already used it 04:06:50.860 --> 04:06:54.260 There's nothing left for this team at this point 04:06:54.260 --> 04:06:59.380 you're talking about how incredible just it is and then in the corner of your IOC 04:06:59.380 --> 04:07:04.300 chronic do something that allows this domino effect. That is the only way to 04:07:04.300 --> 04:07:08.380 describe what is going on here is what one player on foot does allows for the 04:07:08.380 --> 04:07:16.660 other two to thrive one after the other. The real body team that is one of the best 04:07:16.660 --> 04:07:22.860 if not the best at times in North America is such a performance from 04:07:22.860 --> 04:07:25.380 somebody that was supposed to be the under-automated, 04:07:25.380 --> 04:07:27.380 Koffer's gonna try and shut it down. 04:07:28.260 --> 04:07:30.260 Throwing out time left for Rebellion. 04:07:31.780 --> 04:07:34.100 After the last kickoff as well, 04:07:34.100 --> 04:07:36.700 the other team touching the ball on Koffer 04:07:36.700 --> 04:07:38.380 instead of an anomaly. 04:07:38.380 --> 04:07:40.860 Rebellion able to get one on the board 04:07:40.860 --> 04:07:43.420 with tons of time left in this game. 04:07:45.140 --> 04:07:47.300 Koffer's a bit crazy in this one. 04:07:49.380 --> 04:07:52.620 Koffer, contested, adjusted. 04:07:52.620 --> 04:07:54.100 against first killer. 04:07:54.100 --> 04:07:56.500 50 down to the middle, Kofor, pop up for LJ. 04:07:56.500 --> 04:07:59.620 LJ reset down, wave dash to the mid boost 04:07:59.620 --> 04:08:01.220 and Kofor didn't get the mid boost. 04:08:01.220 --> 04:08:03.420 So it looks like some miscommunication there. 04:08:03.420 --> 04:08:05.540 Kofor maybe could have used that boost, 04:08:05.540 --> 04:08:07.340 a little bit better than LJ in that situation 04:08:07.340 --> 04:08:08.380 as he was moving up. 04:08:10.820 --> 04:08:14.380 Right now Rebellion don't have heavy possession 04:08:14.380 --> 04:08:16.060 on this ball, but they're getting 04:08:16.060 --> 04:08:18.100 so many more touch attempts. 04:08:19.060 --> 04:08:21.140 Although as I say that it does get taken away, 04:08:21.140 --> 04:08:27.180 Chronic great challenge forward nobody's gonna commit on this one though. They let first killer have his clear 04:08:27.620 --> 04:08:31.840 Go for a follow the back flip into this with some power on it from cheese 04:08:32.820 --> 04:08:34.820 Could have done something 04:08:35.420 --> 04:08:41.860 I'm sure she's happy to get that clear and the boost steel as well. She is moving up the field 04:08:42.820 --> 04:08:45.580 Off to go for the boost tries to land a bump 04:08:45.580 --> 04:08:52.580 Now, Justin's last back has to play this carefully and gets a big win to keep Rebellion back. 04:08:52.580 --> 04:08:56.580 The key time is, Cheese was a little bit out of position on that plate. 04:08:56.580 --> 04:08:59.580 Now, Cheese trying to clear it out. 04:08:59.580 --> 04:09:07.580 Justin staying behind it, going for a 50, back to the middle, finding open space. 04:09:07.580 --> 04:09:10.580 There was a little bit of it there for Rebellion. 04:09:10.580 --> 04:09:15.580 The low boost that's really making this such a struggle for this team to find anything. 04:09:17.020 --> 04:09:17.980 Minute 20, over. 04:09:17.980 --> 04:09:20.780 I think the rest of the squishy thing! 04:09:22.260 --> 04:09:25.180 He was being chased, he had no boost, and he squished! 04:09:25.180 --> 04:09:27.580 He saved it blocking that shot! 04:09:29.220 --> 04:09:31.980 Gorgeous defense from Chronic! 04:09:31.980 --> 04:09:44.260 This truly has to be one of the best performances Kronek has ever had or at least in quite some 04:09:44.260 --> 04:09:45.260 time. 04:09:45.260 --> 04:09:53.180 This is the cleanest and most confident we've seen him and it is really just the rowing 04:09:53.180 --> 04:09:57.140 foot into the limelight. 04:09:57.140 --> 04:10:01.860 They seem like the real deal, time is ticking away, rebellion trying to get something going 04:10:01.860 --> 04:10:05.700 LJ has nothing past to hit that forward. 04:10:05.700 --> 04:10:07.180 Jeez, we'll find Justin. 04:10:07.180 --> 04:10:09.100 He booms it hard off the sidewall. 04:10:09.100 --> 04:10:12.740 It's bouncing down Justin's stake on the ball. 04:10:12.740 --> 04:10:16.300 Like he's playing an extra load there, playing boom ball. 04:10:19.300 --> 04:10:20.380 These final seconds take away. 04:10:20.380 --> 04:10:21.940 This is an awkward ball here for Justin. 04:10:21.940 --> 04:10:23.740 He doesn't read it off the backboard, 04:10:23.740 --> 04:10:25.060 but it's helped from Kronik who 04:10:25.060 --> 04:10:29.980 has been a defensive superstar for foot. 04:10:29.980 --> 04:10:31.700 And he thought they'd get a little bit lucky there. 04:10:31.700 --> 04:10:33.420 as far as Shopify was concerned, 04:10:33.420 --> 04:10:36.180 but time just got away from them. 04:10:36.180 --> 04:10:39.100 That two goal lead was more than enough needed 04:10:39.100 --> 04:10:40.440 to do them in. 04:10:40.440 --> 04:10:45.440 But have it actually put Shopify Rebellion on match point. 04:10:45.940 --> 04:10:47.820 And this is where things get interesting as well 04:10:47.820 --> 04:10:49.020 because there's no timeout 04:10:49.020 --> 04:10:51.060 that can be called for a rebellion to stabilize. 04:10:51.060 --> 04:10:54.460 We're just gonna keep rolling into this one. 04:10:54.460 --> 04:10:56.900 After Foot had a heck of a game, 04:10:56.900 --> 04:10:59.580 a team effort as well, a team hat trick. 04:10:59.580 --> 04:11:05.500 Justin, Kronik, and she's all getting one, contributing to that 3-1 victory over Rebellion. 04:11:05.500 --> 04:11:09.740 And some wonderful defensive stops, especially that save from Kronik. 04:11:09.740 --> 04:11:13.380 The squishy save, when he's being chased, when he's got no boost. 04:11:14.620 --> 04:11:18.620 To get back to that ball and make the save, that was a jaw-dropping play. 04:11:19.140 --> 04:11:22.820 Oh, I really hope we can get that one back on the replay, too. 04:11:22.820 --> 04:11:29.500 But for now, it's just a montage of foot making Shopify look just complete 04:11:29.500 --> 04:11:36.220 all over the place. I go back to that quality versus quantity conversation between the two. 04:11:36.220 --> 04:11:44.380 Here it is. Being chased, Screechy said, oh. And first kill you can see was right there. 04:11:44.380 --> 04:11:49.340 First kill is right there. He's trying to hit that in, but the ball actually bounces off the post. 04:11:49.340 --> 04:11:57.820 It goes out to the middle. Wow. What a save from Chronic, who has been playing out of his mind. 04:11:57.820 --> 04:12:02.860 And you know, I was a little worried four foot after game one where they were so flat. 04:12:03.660 --> 04:12:09.820 It was it was all rebellion. But I think that this series, no matter how it goes now, 04:12:10.860 --> 04:12:16.780 I think it has proved that they are the real deal. Oh, for sure. I think, you know, 04:12:16.780 --> 04:12:22.780 what has been missing for quite some time for this foot roster was consistency against top 04:12:22.780 --> 04:12:27.020 teams at a performance like this is going to let not only the world know but more 04:12:27.020 --> 04:12:33.020 important themselves know that they are more than capable of you know really you 04:12:33.020 --> 04:12:37.380 know passing around that MVP spot passing around that pop-off potential for 04:12:37.380 --> 04:12:42.340 all the right reasons and moments. One nice save off the bar again but low 04:12:42.340 --> 04:12:47.300 boost off the board and first killer will finish it. 04:12:47.300 --> 04:12:51.940 Flet was trying to keep their head above water but in the end it was too much 04:12:51.940 --> 04:12:57.420 no boost to work with the rebound to juicy for first killer. Unfortunately 04:12:57.420 --> 04:13:01.460 cheese was not gonna be able to recreate that squishy shape in a moment there. 04:13:01.460 --> 04:13:07.360 Rebellion, early goal lead that has been a good sign for them in the past. We'll see 04:13:07.360 --> 04:13:11.660 if that remains true here to help around the corner and adjust it clear. It's 04:13:11.660 --> 04:13:17.180 caught by first killer even on no boost, a very powerful clear upfield. 04:13:17.180 --> 04:13:23.180 first order moving up the line stealing that corner Justin it's contested all 04:13:23.180 --> 04:13:30.100 by is that open it might be it is cheese strikes and gets the equalizer he sees 04:13:30.100 --> 04:13:36.180 his mom it starts with LJ just LJ and Justin 50s on out and cheese already 04:13:36.180 --> 04:13:42.260 feels ready to pass it on in they catch them off guard and that has been what 04:13:42.260 --> 04:13:48.940 What is destroyed rebellion in the past in this series? 04:13:48.940 --> 04:13:49.940 Rebellion. 04:13:49.940 --> 04:13:52.260 Giving up a goal that hurts. 04:13:52.260 --> 04:13:56.460 Gee, he's not much boost to work with. 04:13:56.460 --> 04:13:59.980 Still beating up first killer and picking up the ball on the side wall. 04:13:59.980 --> 04:14:01.300 Eat some support. 04:14:01.300 --> 04:14:05.740 No boost at the mid-frame either, but Justin and Chronic hit this ball forward. 04:14:05.740 --> 04:14:08.380 Chronic trying to take it ground to air. 04:14:08.380 --> 04:14:10.500 Goes for a 50. 04:14:10.500 --> 04:14:13.740 Stolen by cheese, trying to force that ball out. 04:14:13.740 --> 04:14:16.260 Cheese and testing Kofa up and over. 04:14:16.260 --> 04:14:18.900 Justin got a little too close to the play 04:14:18.900 --> 04:14:20.860 and first killer punishes. 04:14:20.860 --> 04:14:24.220 Yeah, this is just first killer not backing down 04:14:24.220 --> 04:14:24.980 from anything. 04:14:24.980 --> 04:14:26.980 So I'm going out just a tiny bit. 04:14:26.980 --> 04:14:29.540 It's that cut recognizing that Justin 04:14:29.540 --> 04:14:32.740 had zero connect on that ball. 04:14:32.740 --> 04:14:35.380 It was a shot up for rebellion. 04:14:35.380 --> 04:14:38.860 The lead goes back to blue. 04:14:38.860 --> 04:14:41.220 Nice effort from Kofa as well to get that ball forward, 04:14:41.220 --> 04:14:43.980 but Justin, he's a little too far up on that play. 04:14:46.980 --> 04:14:50.340 Chronic in field, Justin, contesting. 04:14:52.340 --> 04:14:54.540 Kofa and LJ both have booster. 04:14:54.540 --> 04:14:56.980 There's the flight from Kofa, denied a high. 04:14:56.980 --> 04:14:59.300 Justin on the respawn will get the boost, 04:14:59.300 --> 04:15:01.540 but he's 50, he's going to cross field. 04:15:01.540 --> 04:15:03.500 LJ hard pass off the back wall. 04:15:03.500 --> 04:15:07.220 Justin tips toward net, and now it goes in. 04:15:08.860 --> 04:15:13.980 This is genuinely a series of events because it started with 04:15:13.980 --> 04:15:19.180 Orchscoller, he pulled up you and he turned, I was gonna say turns up Bill, but 04:15:19.180 --> 04:15:25.340 just all over the place, just frustrated.

I got it was such a sweaty series. Like my heart was bumping up the whole time 04:28:46.660 --> 04:28:53.460 Especially in game 6. Oh T like we we had it and corporate had an amazing save like I forgot like somewhere before oh T 04:28:53.460 --> 04:28:58.980 You're like, yeah, early. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm my drone is so high 04:28:58.980 --> 04:29:01.960 I'm just so tired man, but we got the dumb man. I'm so happy 04:29:02.620 --> 04:29:05.160 Did you feel like do you hit flow state in a moment like that? 04:29:05.160 --> 04:29:09.000 Like well, how do you like maintain that? I feel like I just lose everything like I'd be running around 04:29:09.000 --> 04:29:14.600 Yeah, yeah, definitely when you're when you're like competing in the highest level like you have to be in flow state 04:29:14.600 --> 04:29:16.600 Or you're just gonna play bad or like that's a tear 04:29:17.600 --> 04:29:22.600 Honestly, I didn't think I was playing the greatest but man my teammates Justin and chronic they stepped up to the plate the series 04:29:22.600 --> 04:29:27.000 They they play so well mechanically so well with their energy. I'm gonna shop to them. I shopped them 04:29:27.560 --> 04:29:30.000 Yeah, no huge. I mean, I think it was being brought up just before 04:29:30.520 --> 04:29:36.700 Or I think it was job is asking students in the green room like who's leading sudy thinks leading stats and we said you but it was it was 04:29:36.700 --> 04:29:42.300 just in that that's been the all rounder I think for for the squad. Do you guys play around that kind 04:29:42.300 --> 04:29:46.140 of thing? Is there a plan to play around him or have him involved so much? Or did that just 04:29:46.140 --> 04:29:49.820 happen naturally? No, I just happened naturally, man. We're all like the best of the friends, 04:29:49.820 --> 04:29:53.660 we all vibe so well together. We crack jokes, we're all CS and stuff. We're all just good 04:29:53.660 --> 04:29:56.300 friends. We all trust each other. That's the most important thing, just we all trust each 04:29:56.300 --> 04:29:59.660 other and we all just believe in each other. So yeah, it just comes naturally, man. We just 04:29:59.660 --> 04:30:03.900 we just play half on. I mean, considering the fact that, you know, there's a lot 04:30:03.900 --> 04:30:17.900 We look at the points and everything and how it's going to come down to the wire and for you guys. Did you do you feel like this this open here that there's kind of extra pressure I guess on you guys to actually perform based off your reaction to the result there must be. 04:30:18.900 --> 04:30:28.900 Yeah, there's always pressure every regional I take as it's going to be the last I I think every reason I play out to win that's the mentality I have so coming into this coming into this. 04:30:28.900 --> 04:30:34.420 coming into this. If we win, we basically honestly secure the major. So that's the plan. Just go out and win. 04:30:35.220 --> 04:30:39.060 That's a lot to put on yourself that like, this is going, this, this will be the last to have that 04:30:39.060 --> 04:30:44.100 mentality. I feel like you're going to age yourself a lot by doing that. No, I know, man. Luckily, 04:30:44.100 --> 04:30:48.180 so stressful, but it's so worth it. Wins like this is why I play, man. It's so fun. So, 04:30:48.180 --> 04:30:53.220 I just love this game, bro. I love it. Man, I feel that you look for that adrenaline, 04:30:53.220 --> 04:30:57.380 that moment with the good Sears. Well, it looks like you had fun then. Are you hoping 04:30:57.380 --> 04:31:01.940 again whoever whoever comes against you then in the semi-finals that it's a close series like that 04:31:01.940 --> 04:31:06.980 yeah is that what you're aiming for that we want uh I wouldn't want to be close I'd rather just four 04:31:06.980 --> 04:31:11.860 over them but you know what it's better for the fans you know a close series but uh honestly I 04:31:11.860 --> 04:31:15.780 would want to sweep them obviously I think that's everyone's answer but I don't mind the close series 04:31:15.780 --> 04:31:19.220 though the win is it feels satisfying winning like that to be honest I can afford two four three 04:31:19.220 --> 04:31:23.860 fashions so yeah I wouldn't mind dude that's incredible you know I you need to get up and 04:31:23.860 --> 04:31:27.540 to move around right now. I'm going to make you sit down. So I'm going to keep 04:31:27.540 --> 04:31:30.620 going, man. Congratulations on the win. She's hopefully continue that in the 04:31:30.620 --> 04:31:32.020 bracket. Thank you. Thank you, Lee. 04:31:34.140 --> 04:31:36.940 Man, I use feeling right now. I'm like, I felt bad just keeping them in the 04:31:36.940 --> 04:31:40.980 seat right there. Just great. No, honestly, that was great. And honestly, 04:31:40.980 --> 04:31:46.300 that quote you got out of him was amazing. Wins like this is why I 04:31:46.340 --> 04:31:51.420 play. I think that that quote alone shows you how much that meant to 04:31:51.420 --> 04:31:56.140 cheese and really how much that's got to mean to this foot team I wish we could 04:31:56.140 --> 04:31:59.340 have talked to all of them but I'm because I'm sure Justin and chronic would 04:31:59.340 --> 04:32:03.460 have had a lot to say as well Justin who's had such a long career a long 04:32:03.460 --> 04:32:08.420 journey he's had the ups and downs chronic as well who got dropped playing 04:32:08.420 --> 04:32:13.220 with first killer and LG getting revenge on that and to be able to get the 04:32:13.220 --> 04:32:18.220 job done the way they did it was it was a beautiful series I was at the 04:32:18.220 --> 04:32:22.120 into my seat and I was entertained the whole way through what every moment of it. 04:32:22.600 --> 04:32:26.100 I'm right there with you. I mean, this is such a special team. 04:32:26.100 --> 04:32:29.460 You said it before, but like this is one of those squads that you just can't 04:32:29.900 --> 04:32:34.440 not root for, right? Everybody has had some sort of fan connection to each of 04:32:34.440 --> 04:32:36.880 these players at some point in time. And like you said, 04:32:37.180 --> 04:32:40.540 there was so many people rallying behind chronic and he got dropped. 04:32:40.820 --> 04:32:45.620 All the OG Gen G RMC fans were upset when it happened to cheese. 04:32:45.620 --> 04:32:51.340 and same for Justin. So seeing them all come together and find this level of success is just beautiful. 04:32:51.340 --> 04:32:56.700 Yeah, hey, well, pull that out. Let's, I think I have a braggart up soon here because I want to look at that now. 04:32:56.700 --> 04:33:00.620 Like they, they, they did not, or they kept their, their life there. 04:33:00.620 --> 04:33:04.540 We still see, of course, down at the bottom side Shopify rebellion keeps their second life there. 04:33:04.540 --> 04:33:07.540 They're not out of the tournament yet, but obviously they're gonna have to start asking questions. 04:33:07.540 --> 04:33:11.180 I mean, the desk, maybe you guys are going the other way. I think James I heard you say maybe you're 04:33:11.180 --> 04:33:14.340 You put a good flip to the desk went completely Shopify rebellion. 04:33:14.340 --> 04:33:15.820 We're not having a good day today on the desk. 04:33:16.020 --> 04:33:19.620 Uh, so it, I think for Shopify, there's going to be some big proof. 04:33:19.620 --> 04:33:21.220 Wait, this makes no sense. 04:33:21.260 --> 04:33:21.740 How? 04:33:22.420 --> 04:33:23.420 No, you're, you're crazy. 04:33:23.420 --> 04:33:25.660 No, we had, we, we, we predicted that, right? 04:33:26.820 --> 04:33:30.860 I swear we predicted foot going past for our prediction before. 04:33:30.940 --> 04:33:31.380 Yes. 04:33:31.420 --> 04:33:34.940 On our, in the pre-show, but then on the desk, we went the opposite way. 04:33:35.020 --> 04:33:36.540 Oh, I see what you're saying. 04:33:36.540 --> 04:33:36.820 Okay. 04:33:36.820 --> 04:33:39.300 No, that, that's because you guys are a bunch of frauds. 04:33:39.300 --> 04:33:41.300 Okay 04:33:42.240 --> 04:33:46.520 Simple answer, okay fair enough. I got I would they said that they have it 04:33:46.740 --> 04:33:52.260 Yeah, I want to see what we predicted. Let's be over behind there. Yeah, that were we are we on spain? 04:33:53.020 --> 04:34:00.460 There's so far. We've been perfect. Whoa. Am I nice? Am I missing anything? Well, it's just the last match, right? 04:34:01.220 --> 04:34:03.220 No, yeah, just depends on this next one goes 04:34:03.820 --> 04:34:05.820 Yeah, which I do think we will be wrong 04:34:05.820 --> 04:34:08.220 This next one. 04:34:08.220 --> 04:34:10.460 No, we get pretty good shot at the space station. 04:34:10.460 --> 04:34:12.260 OK, oh, that was actually a good one. 04:34:12.260 --> 04:34:13.260 Wait. 04:34:13.260 --> 04:34:16.980 I totally pulled a homework where you, I don't know about you, 04:34:16.980 --> 04:34:19.300 but when I was growing up, I would do my homework, 04:34:19.300 --> 04:34:21.540 hand it in, and then forget what I did. 04:34:21.540 --> 04:34:22.700 Yeah, I mean, I forget what I did. 04:34:22.700 --> 04:34:23.460 Almost a hundred. 04:34:23.460 --> 04:34:26.660 I literally predicted against what we put on that last 04:34:26.660 --> 04:34:27.160 session. 04:34:27.160 --> 04:34:28.700 So yeah, I feel that, James. 04:34:28.700 --> 04:34:29.940 Here's the next matchups. 04:34:29.940 --> 04:34:31.620 And one more best of seven to go. 04:34:31.620 --> 04:34:33.420 It's been an entertaining day today. 04:34:33.420 --> 04:34:35.340 For North American Rocket League, you 04:34:35.340 --> 04:34:42.820 So from cheese do it's it's just been so fun watching these and now we have one more to go first pro versus space station gaming 04:34:43.100 --> 04:34:46.780 Hark let's lock in and talk about this SSG squad because you know 04:34:46.780 --> 04:34:50.240 We're obviously looking at them as one of the favorites in this bracket. Oh, yeah 04:34:50.580 --> 04:34:56.460 SSG have been dominating in almost every single series that they've played 04:34:56.700 --> 04:35:00.220 They had a three-one over strictly business over in group B 04:35:00.220 --> 04:35:03.720 They swept Dignitas in the upper bracket to make it here. 04:35:03.720 --> 04:35:07.020 It has just been pretty much just pure domination, 04:35:07.020 --> 04:35:11.020 like we've said, so I expect great things from them, 04:35:11.020 --> 04:35:13.920 especially Diaz, if you have a moment, 04:35:13.920 --> 04:35:15.320 keep your eye on him. 04:35:15.320 --> 04:35:18.420 He's been a huge difference maker for the squad. 04:35:18.420 --> 04:35:22.420 Yeah, James, this is the VP squad that I think I forced you 04:35:22.420 --> 04:35:25.820 to accept that there will be energy in the bracket later 04:35:25.820 --> 04:35:28.120 because they are looking good and adaptable. 04:35:28.120 --> 04:35:34.080 Yeah, I was you know, I was coping pretty badly when I said that vertus pro got lucky against NRG 04:35:34.480 --> 04:35:38.520 When they beat him, you know, that's my cope. All right, let me have it as an NRG fan 04:35:38.520 --> 04:35:42.240 But one thing I will say is that this VP team is the real deal 04:35:42.640 --> 04:35:48.120 They were fighting to be top two in North America throughout pretty much the entire first split 04:35:48.680 --> 04:35:53.400 So they did cool down a little bit since picking up the org vertus pro 04:35:53.400 --> 04:35:58.040 But there's no doubt about it that they are quite good and you know, I love this dynamic too 04:35:58.040 --> 04:36:04.360 You get the wavy versus Diaz they run into each other and ones all the time Diaz has always been getting the better of wavy 04:36:04.360 --> 04:36:08.440 And I really feel like SSG probably gonna get the better of VP here as well 04:36:08.560 --> 04:36:14.360 Yeah, well, let's see what the chat thinks progressive fan vote is up hashtag SSG or hashtag VP 04:36:14.760 --> 04:36:18.120 With that as we tally up the the chat scores here 04:36:18.120 --> 04:36:21.240 We can start talking about what we're going to expect from this one 04:36:21.240 --> 04:36:26.480 I mean, we were working together on that, uh, that prediction earlier in the pre show 04:36:26.480 --> 04:36:30.240 and I'm imagining we're probably going to stick with it around here. 04:36:30.240 --> 04:36:34.160 I'm going to say at first I'm backing VP, the whole except in this one. 04:36:34.520 --> 04:36:37.080 Uh, I will say the SSG probably gets the best of them here. 04:36:37.080 --> 04:36:38.720 And the VP makes that lower bracket run. 04:36:39.400 --> 04:36:39.680 Okay. 04:36:39.680 --> 04:36:42.200 So you're saying I predict VP, but not right now. 04:36:43.200 --> 04:36:46.640 I bet next time I'm going to have to, uh, to keep you on us. 04:36:46.640 --> 04:36:49.200 Cause I feel like next time you'll be like, I think they'll get eliminated. 04:36:49.200 --> 04:36:55.140 I am gonna have to go with space station gaming this as a as a big fan of energy 04:36:55.140 --> 04:36:58.640 This is the one team that I actually get worried about when we play this team 04:36:58.640 --> 04:37:03.440 I think it is so scary they won the last regional they truly are a 04:37:04.320 --> 04:37:09.720 Ferocious team, so I've got a one in here. All right y'all are gonna think I'm insane 04:37:10.080 --> 04:37:18.560 However, when I watched SSG against dignitas, I picked up some fairly obvious patterns in their new play style that I'm assuming 04:37:18.560 --> 04:37:21.600 the game. Virtus Pro also 04:37:21.600 --> 04:37:21.640 would have done if they done 04:37:23.640 --> 04:37:25.680 for this one. So I'm actu 04:37:25.680 --> 04:37:25.700 on the upset. Okay, you're 04:37:30.880 --> 04:37:30.920 I am I am only going SSG r 04:37:35.920 --> 04:37:37.960 them up down in the lower 04:37:37.980 --> 04:37:40.520 here and then they'll come 04:37:40.520 --> 04:37:40.560 close. Apparently it's a two 04:37:45.820 --> 04:37:45.860 because I would like to see 04:37:48.560 --> 04:37:52.480 right now. Yeah, do it right now. No, no, no, I mean, I'm in there to cancel you out. 04:37:52.480 --> 04:37:59.280 Right. All right. I put I made my voice heard. Look at that. Okay, we're back down. I mean, 04:37:59.280 --> 04:38:03.280 I'm gonna see if you I'm gonna break it. Here we go. Game is ready. Let's find out one more 04:38:03.280 --> 04:38:08.240 best of seven here on the Saturday of playoffs for the North American over five Rockley 04:38:08.240 --> 04:38:13.680 championship series. Virtus. Pro has a big task ahead of them, but it's not impossible. 04:38:13.680 --> 04:38:16.480 We'll see if they can take down her for SSG holds the line. 04:38:22.480 --> 04:38:27.680 Last match of our RLCS Saturday, the second open on our journey to the Paris Major. 04:38:27.680 --> 04:38:32.320 Vertus Pro trying to get climb whatever you want to call it back up the total pole 04:38:32.320 --> 04:38:34.880 and space station trying to kick him right back down. 04:38:36.480 --> 04:38:39.280 Are you sure you're trying to kick him? You didn't even know they were climbing toward me. 04:38:39.280 --> 04:38:41.920 All right, I'm sorry wait me scored 04:38:54.400 --> 04:38:59.380 Grace your space station game first first broken we're talking about aggressive just like you said 04:39:00.160 --> 04:39:04.260 This is gonna be a great series because first problem they've been ramping up as you know 04:39:04.260 --> 04:39:07.560 They've got it. They've been kind of battling through that pressure. I said she I 04:39:07.560 --> 04:39:12.720 I feel like it's as you want to just prove that that lies when was no fluke 04:39:12.720 --> 04:39:15.840 they're trying to submit themselves as the best team in North America right now 04:39:15.840 --> 04:39:20.240 and push themselves into that top four spot early I mean it would help that case 04:39:20.240 --> 04:39:24.240 a lot they certainly look like it on Friday I mean they continue looking 04:39:24.240 --> 04:39:28.040 like they did yesterday no one could really stop Space Station like Zach 04:39:28.040 --> 04:39:32.480 rejoins this team it doesn't even look like he took a break just looks like 04:39:32.480 --> 04:39:35.960 he's been rolling the whole way and nobody has benefited more from that 04:39:35.960 --> 04:39:40.640 then reveal reveal is right back into the form he was back when this team was 04:39:40.640 --> 04:39:45.440 scribbles revealed co-fro. He's looking just like him. DS yesterday had his best 04:39:45.440 --> 04:39:50.600 performance I've seen in a space station car and if he keeps flying like that DS 04:39:50.600 --> 04:39:56.480 is such a threat man. Space station legit top the bottom on this roster. BP 04:39:56.480 --> 04:40:00.800 story's a little different for them isn't it? Fell off the face of the 04:40:00.800 --> 04:40:06.040 last open expected them to be part of that new wave and be with space station 04:40:06.040 --> 04:40:11.640 competing for the top four but they had a paltry performance last open and they're 04:40:11.640 --> 04:40:15.680 trying to get things back into order talk at the forefront of it will score 04:40:15.680 --> 04:40:21.320 first here for 3p. It's really just kind of speed here. Virtus Pro so far on the ball 04:40:21.320 --> 04:40:26.080 has just been that much faster than SSG and they're playing around it right 04:40:26.080 --> 04:40:30.200 now for this first goal. Virtus. Pop, second not one in but you gotta get 04:40:30.200 --> 04:40:32.200 He's done a lot of work on the assist there 04:40:33.200 --> 04:40:37.600 For Vertus Pro, I've done enough work as well. We saw the season points earlier today 04:40:37.600 --> 04:40:41.200 The next team below them, I think at 18 points, they have 40 for Worlds 04:40:41.200 --> 04:40:44.200 So for Worlds, feel pretty good if you're Vertus Pro 04:40:44.200 --> 04:40:46.200 Paris is a tough one much 04:40:46.200 --> 04:40:50.200 That's a good way to start here in this series, each team having two lives 04:40:50.200 --> 04:40:53.200 If you lose, you get the reward of playing NRG 04:40:53.200 --> 04:40:55.200 So, uh, don't lose 04:40:56.200 --> 04:40:58.200 Easier said than done 04:40:58.200 --> 04:41:06.600 That being said, so far, Vertus has just been moving down the field really well. 04:41:06.600 --> 04:41:11.440 SSG, only two shots to their name that come from Reveal, and he's on the ball right now. 04:41:11.440 --> 04:41:13.440 That gets sent far away. 04:41:13.440 --> 04:41:17.120 Yes, that's a great cut there, Reveal, looking for some bumps. 04:41:17.120 --> 04:41:19.520 Yes, that's a great 50 to send it up. 04:41:19.520 --> 04:41:23.520 We was gonna just duck back there on the play, so that Reveal allowed to take it 04:41:23.520 --> 04:41:27.720 back from his own in, not a lot of boost and not a lot of real room to create. 04:41:27.720 --> 04:41:36.300 They've been so good at playing in the chaos that it is really hard if you have a structured 04:41:36.300 --> 04:41:38.720 game plan to play against them at times. 04:41:38.720 --> 04:41:42.720 Yeah, it's turning for another fifties. 04:41:42.720 --> 04:41:43.720 Reveal has no boost. 04:41:43.720 --> 04:41:44.720 Zac behind Reveal. 04:41:44.720 --> 04:41:47.960 And Reveal don't need any help. 04:41:47.960 --> 04:41:52.640 As he flicks this one into the net, little ching dash to get this castery slows things 04:41:52.640 --> 04:41:53.640 down. 04:41:53.640 --> 04:41:54.640 Look how frozen talk is. 04:41:54.640 --> 04:41:57.560 I'm gonna wait for it and Reveal must eat it on. 04:41:57.560 --> 04:41:59.800 Yeah, I like the way he changes up. 04:41:59.800 --> 04:42:01.520 Doesn't want to keep playing at a fast pace, 04:42:01.520 --> 04:42:04.800 says I can slow down, get the musty right on net, 04:42:04.800 --> 04:42:06.600 very clean there for Braville. 04:42:06.600 --> 04:42:07.600 That's a good equalizer. 04:42:07.600 --> 04:42:09.720 He's been the offense so far for SSG, 04:42:09.720 --> 04:42:11.520 the only one with shots on the board. 04:42:14.120 --> 04:42:16.480 Our hit, space station. 04:42:17.920 --> 04:42:19.480 I'm gonna play more defense. 04:42:19.480 --> 04:42:21.240 He's got no boost. 04:42:21.240 --> 04:42:24.240 We had like 20 there, effectively nothing 04:42:24.240 --> 04:42:26.040 if you're looking off-cam. 04:42:26.040 --> 04:42:28.360 They've got the challenge two piece on the wall. 04:42:29.880 --> 04:42:33.560 Vertus Pro, maybe got bumped off the back wall as well. 04:42:33.560 --> 04:42:36.400 So Diaz gets a clean look at the pass across. 04:42:36.400 --> 04:42:37.680 Zack seeing it's covered. 04:42:38.760 --> 04:42:39.920 Offs not to commit. 04:42:39.920 --> 04:42:42.800 Diaz takes the midfield boost, scoops it up for reveal. 04:42:42.800 --> 04:42:43.800 Has two to beat. 04:42:43.800 --> 04:42:46.720 Reveal right behind, Zack gonna take over. 04:42:46.720 --> 04:42:48.400 Space station aren't looking. 04:42:48.400 --> 04:42:50.600 It really just hasn't been much developing. 04:42:50.600 --> 04:42:52.920 Diaz won't try to swirl it away. 04:42:52.920 --> 04:42:54.280 Front of the space station, 04:42:54.280 --> 04:42:55.280 made it easy for a vertus 04:42:55.280 --> 04:42:56.280 pro to actually possess this 04:42:56.280 --> 04:42:58.280 ball. Yeah I mean for the side 04:42:58.280 --> 04:42:59.280 of SSG it feels like okay the 04:42:59.280 --> 04:43:00.280 communication's been pretty 04:43:00.280 --> 04:43:02.280 good so far. They haven't given 04:43:02.280 --> 04:43:04.280 up too much room for a vertus 04:43:04.280 --> 04:43:05.280 to create a chance and that's 04:43:05.280 --> 04:43:07.280 because again vertus as well 04:43:07.280 --> 04:43:08.280 everybody's just been playing 04:43:08.280 --> 04:43:10.280 so fluid. There's been too many 04:43:10.280 --> 04:43:11.280 mistakes yeah people have been 04:43:11.280 --> 04:43:14.280 matching each other and right 04:43:14.280 --> 04:43:15.280 now we're kind of in that 04:43:15.280 --> 04:43:16.280 stalemate this demo may open 04:43:16.280 --> 04:43:18.280 things up. Reveal was so 04:43:18.280 --> 04:43:19.280 awkward it's so glad that he 04:43:19.280 --> 04:43:20.280 didn't try to go for that 04:43:20.280 --> 04:43:22.280 ball he would have owned one. 04:43:22.280 --> 04:43:23.280 No one ready for it on 04:43:23.280 --> 04:43:25.280 for it on Vertus Pro's side either. 04:43:28.280 --> 04:43:31.280 Talks God, wavy downfield that connects Diaz. 04:43:32.280 --> 04:43:34.280 A lot of lair, picked up the save. 04:43:35.280 --> 04:43:37.280 Dangerous opportunities for Vertus Pro. 04:43:38.280 --> 04:43:41.280 They were to get that game leading goal reveal, just let that go on the 50. 04:43:42.280 --> 04:43:44.280 This one down, double commit as well from Space Station. 04:43:45.280 --> 04:43:47.280 But everyone else in hurry up low reveal coming from the midfield line. 04:43:47.280 --> 04:43:48.280 He's never going to get there. 04:43:49.280 --> 04:43:50.280 Easy goal here for Vertus Pro. 04:43:50.280 --> 04:43:55.280 And then we're seeing another sign there that physicality just having an impact. 04:43:55.280 --> 04:44:00.280 Setting up just a little bit of space and that's all Virtus is needed so far. 04:44:00.280 --> 04:44:04.280 Like I said, they've been able to kind of match SSG speed on the ball. 04:44:04.280 --> 04:44:06.280 They sometimes even outpace them. 04:44:06.280 --> 04:44:10.280 But I see Virtus right now with a slight edge here. 04:44:10.280 --> 04:44:14.280 As a game-wise, it comes in close to 30 seconds remaining in regulation. 04:44:14.280 --> 04:44:17.280 SSG got a lot of ground to make up. 04:44:17.280 --> 04:44:23.060 See what they got. 20 seconds, only one goal needed. Perfect touch from Reveal, but good 04:44:23.060 --> 04:44:30.080 job from Tuck getting right in the lane. Only about one try left here for Space Station. 04:44:30.080 --> 04:44:34.400 Diaz had a little trouble getting a handle on the ball. Gets them help from Reveal. 04:44:34.400 --> 04:44:38.600 Dashing his way down the field. Stole the boost. Got 50, but it goes up right into 04:45:08.600 --> 04:45:14.560 It looked like they were going to get caught out again where you were saying of the one plate reveal on the goal line 04:45:14.560 --> 04:45:19.360 He was awkward and the ball pinched past him and he just dropped the controller there to make sure he didn't own goal 04:45:20.480 --> 04:45:24.600 Obviously that 50 right there talk got a chance at it and then reveal 04:45:25.040 --> 04:45:29.960 Made a nice move there with talk frozen on the wall with the musty right in front of the box 04:45:30.520 --> 04:45:33.640 But then the demo while everybody was still down field 04:45:33.640 --> 04:45:36.400 I wasn't working out here for space station. 04:45:36.400 --> 04:45:38.880 Virtus Pro, as you were saying it, 04:45:38.880 --> 04:45:40.040 about halfway through that game, 04:45:40.040 --> 04:45:42.360 Virtus Pro had the better of space station 04:45:42.360 --> 04:45:43.840 in the rotation on this game. 04:45:43.840 --> 04:45:47.640 Space station could not get a handle of this ball consistently. 04:45:47.640 --> 04:45:50.360 Generate consistent pressure, only six shots on net. 04:45:52.240 --> 04:45:54.240 Virtus Pro only had five, but still space station, 04:45:54.240 --> 04:45:56.480 unable to generate much aggression at all. 04:45:56.480 --> 04:45:59.080 Yeah, and normally, you know, you think, 04:45:59.080 --> 04:46:01.440 okay, it's fine if the game's kind of close, 04:46:01.440 --> 04:46:03.600 but you're giving up goals on the other end as well. 04:46:03.600 --> 04:46:06.000 You're opening yourself up to be demoed, 04:46:06.000 --> 04:46:09.300 and then you're just kind of slow to the ball at times. 04:46:09.300 --> 04:46:12.000 Virtus.Pro, they like that they can play in that. 04:46:12.000 --> 04:46:15.000 And even if SSG give them a kind of a counter punch, 04:46:15.000 --> 04:46:18.800 again, it's really just that overall aggression 04:46:18.800 --> 04:46:20.520 that Virtus.Pro is okay with 04:46:20.520 --> 04:46:22.360 because they can play in the chaos. 04:46:22.360 --> 04:46:24.520 On the other side of things for SSG, 04:46:24.520 --> 04:46:28.800 very structured team, when that structure gets disrupted, 04:46:28.800 --> 04:46:31.600 then that's when things kind of fall apart. 04:46:31.600 --> 04:46:34.920 And for them being able to play their game, 04:46:34.920 --> 04:46:36.520 their style is going to be what's important here 04:46:36.520 --> 04:46:37.920 in the stage of the game. 04:46:37.920 --> 04:46:41.920 Yeah, a lot of focus has been on Zach's return 04:46:41.920 --> 04:46:45.680 to this roster, well-deserved on the side of Space Station 04:46:45.680 --> 04:46:49.200 with how he has kind of lit up the highlight reel 04:46:49.200 --> 04:46:52.320 and his on-ball approach is great, 04:46:52.320 --> 04:46:56.040 but also very good supporting in that second man role, 04:46:56.040 --> 04:46:57.000 that follow-up role. 04:46:57.000 --> 04:47:00.240 Zach has just been a pleasure to watch overall, 04:47:00.240 --> 04:47:05.360 But very quiet in this game, reveal really the only one who was able to do anything. 04:47:06.160 --> 04:47:11.920 And then there's Diaz as well, where Diaz yesterday was facilitating everything for Space Station. 04:47:11.920 --> 04:47:13.880 He was picking up Smart 50-50s. 04:47:14.160 --> 04:47:20.520 He was like showing aggression and then pulling off forcing bad touches out of the teams at Space Station playing yesterday. 04:47:20.720 --> 04:47:23.600 I really was impressed with what Diaz was able to do. 04:47:23.640 --> 04:47:25.840 I think you saw flashes of it in game one. 04:47:25.840 --> 04:47:32.080 And Virtus Pro were just really good at covering their options, smothering the ball, preventing 04:47:32.080 --> 04:47:34.160 rebounds for Space Station to play with. 04:47:34.160 --> 04:47:35.920 Just didn't have a lot to work with. 04:47:35.920 --> 04:47:41.680 So, Virtus Pro, this is a huge step in the right direction for them. 04:47:41.680 --> 04:47:44.480 Everyone's wondering, okay, is this team legit now? 04:47:44.480 --> 04:47:48.400 And can they get back to where they were during the Boston split? 04:47:48.400 --> 04:47:51.480 And so far, really looking solid as a unit. 04:47:51.480 --> 04:47:53.880 We're not talking just the talk show. 04:47:53.880 --> 04:47:57.720 all three players contributing to the success here in game one. 04:47:57.720 --> 04:48:00.760 Yeah, and I think, you know, when you see SSG, 04:48:00.760 --> 04:48:05.200 or, I'm sorry, coming together in that way, 04:48:05.200 --> 04:48:08.240 it is where it makes the team so great. 04:48:08.240 --> 04:48:10.840 It's been hard, though, for them to have that consistency 04:48:10.840 --> 04:48:12.160 over the course of things. 04:48:12.160 --> 04:48:14.480 And speaking of consistency, when you shift it 04:48:14.480 --> 04:48:18.400 to space-action gaming, seeing Zack come in, 04:48:18.400 --> 04:48:21.400 Zack came in and instantly lit up the team, right? 04:48:21.400 --> 04:48:23.520 Just very dominant offensively. 04:48:23.520 --> 04:48:28.400 you would say that he was their best player in open four. 04:48:28.400 --> 04:48:30.160 Now he's kind of been a little quiet, 04:48:30.160 --> 04:48:32.080 especially in this first game. 04:48:32.080 --> 04:48:34.240 You want to be able to see him get back in form 04:48:34.240 --> 04:48:35.840 and make things work offensively. 04:48:35.840 --> 04:48:38.320 I think that's one of the things where, 04:48:38.320 --> 04:48:40.520 you know, both these teams kind of have it 04:48:40.520 --> 04:48:43.560 where you have these players who can turn a series 04:48:43.560 --> 04:48:45.240 and make it instantly exciting, 04:48:45.240 --> 04:48:49.600 but that's not something they can do on any given day. 04:48:49.600 --> 04:48:50.840 I mean, it is something they can do. 04:48:50.840 --> 04:48:53.000 It's not something that they do on a given day, 04:48:53.000 --> 04:48:54.680 You know, I like to get just flip a switch. 04:48:54.680 --> 04:48:57.080 All right, I'm turning it on, you know. 04:48:57.080 --> 04:48:58.160 Yeah, absolutely. 04:48:58.160 --> 04:49:00.120 Well, if everyone else on the Space Station 04:49:00.120 --> 04:49:04.560 get on Reveal's page, we'll be in for quite the series here. 04:49:04.560 --> 04:49:07.920 But Reveal, in my estimation, I just, 04:49:07.920 --> 04:49:09.880 because all the focus has been on Zack, 04:49:09.880 --> 04:49:12.800 I just think that Reveal has been quietly 04:49:12.800 --> 04:49:13.880 Space Station's best player. 04:49:13.880 --> 04:49:16.920 I know you say Zack has been their best player. 04:49:16.920 --> 04:49:18.960 I personally think Reveal has kind of snuck into that. 04:49:18.960 --> 04:49:21.480 He's just so good at moving the ball around. 04:49:21.480 --> 04:49:24.040 his positioning is immaculate. 04:49:24.040 --> 04:49:26.620 That's how I felt about him on the old space station squad. 04:49:26.620 --> 04:49:27.460 Last year. 04:49:27.460 --> 04:49:28.320 I like it. 04:49:28.320 --> 04:49:28.820 I like it. 04:49:28.820 --> 04:49:30.560 Reveals constantly talking to me saying, 04:49:30.560 --> 04:49:31.820 Dad, are you going to put me top five? 04:49:31.820 --> 04:49:32.880 I'm top five in A. 04:49:32.880 --> 04:49:36.000 I'll tell you, he's number one underrated in A. 04:49:36.000 --> 04:49:36.880 I'll say that. 04:49:36.880 --> 04:49:38.120 I like it. 04:49:38.120 --> 04:49:38.920 I like it. 04:49:38.920 --> 04:49:40.560 Let's see if he can make himself 04:49:40.560 --> 04:49:42.640 into that conversation with a dominant performance 04:49:42.640 --> 04:49:43.400 here in this series. 04:49:43.400 --> 04:49:44.800 Right now, it's that you need it. 04:49:44.800 --> 04:49:46.480 They are down by one against Virtus Pro, 04:49:46.480 --> 04:49:48.600 where they gave two up a big triple. 04:49:48.600 --> 04:49:51.040 Virtus looking to extend the series lead. 04:49:51.040 --> 04:49:53.720 Maybe even force a tactical timeout from SSG, 04:49:53.720 --> 04:49:57.260 unless SSG can really get things going here. 04:49:57.260 --> 04:50:00.380 Kind of slow start offensively with only a single goal. 04:50:00.380 --> 04:50:01.400 Two vertices, two. 04:50:02.880 --> 04:50:06.220 Not a ton of offense, only able to generate six shots. 04:50:08.020 --> 04:50:09.380 How do you break through? 04:50:10.480 --> 04:50:12.800 Reveal force to knock it away. 04:50:16.720 --> 04:50:18.600 Rady's gonna have to do something with this ball. 04:50:18.600 --> 04:50:20.280 He's got no boosts. 04:50:20.280 --> 04:50:23.640 Let's just play for a 50 and to use all of his boost to go across the pitch. 04:50:24.520 --> 04:50:28.120 It's pretty still find a way to handle it and get a free ball reveal is left stranded. 04:50:28.400 --> 04:50:29.040 Two piece. 04:50:29.240 --> 04:50:30.280 That's the left side. 04:50:30.800 --> 04:50:33.960 And this is where he starts to look really confusing for SSG. 04:50:34.240 --> 04:50:38.400 You see Zach trying to play the fifth gap reveal wants to follow up on the 50. 04:50:38.400 --> 04:50:44.040 Does not expect to pitch two piece at a better position and just nails the shot reveal got caught out there. 04:50:45.000 --> 04:50:48.760 And two peas had pretty much perfect vision on that play. 04:50:48.760 --> 04:50:52.260 All of the space station was just stacked up on that right side. 04:50:52.260 --> 04:50:54.060 He knew the ball kicks out. 04:50:54.060 --> 04:50:56.060 He's going to have the best shot at that touch. 04:50:56.060 --> 04:50:58.980 Even if it's just a 15, they just got caught twice. 04:50:58.980 --> 04:51:01.700 First on the left, now on the right. 04:51:01.700 --> 04:51:03.420 The space station are getting diced. 04:51:03.420 --> 04:51:03.920 What? 04:51:03.920 --> 04:51:06.720 You're wondering, oh, man, it's just another air 04:51:06.720 --> 04:51:09.820 in touch from Zach trying to get a read on the ball. 04:51:09.820 --> 04:51:12.580 And it's just like, bird is pro, have a nag, 04:51:12.580 --> 04:51:13.980 and whatever, Zach touches the ball, 04:51:13.980 --> 04:51:18.060 says, OK, right to my nose. 04:51:18.060 --> 04:51:21.120 And now, Space Station want to start it all. 04:51:21.120 --> 04:51:23.420 It's Vertus Pro, trying to put themselves back 04:51:23.420 --> 04:51:27.980 in the conversation near the top of North America, talk. 04:51:27.980 --> 04:51:29.460 Trying to get it back away to Wavy. 04:51:29.460 --> 04:51:30.340 It's successful. 04:51:30.340 --> 04:51:33.260 It's all Diaz have to go get that corner boost. 04:51:33.260 --> 04:51:34.340 Zack up quickly. 04:51:34.340 --> 04:51:37.380 Space Station break out. 04:51:37.380 --> 04:51:39.020 They're clear from talk. 04:51:39.020 --> 04:51:42.300 Now we can see Vertus just try to manage the game here. 04:51:42.300 --> 04:51:47.260 You know, SSG know that they need to shift things. 04:51:47.260 --> 04:51:49.620 But right now, their execution has just been locked. 04:51:49.620 --> 04:51:51.460 He's just even bringing the ball down field. 04:51:51.460 --> 04:51:54.900 They're making mistakes that are really costing them now. 04:51:54.900 --> 04:51:57.100 And another awkward spot revealed just barely 04:51:57.100 --> 04:51:58.180 got a piece of that. 04:51:58.180 --> 04:52:00.820 Wavy was playing the miss. 04:52:00.820 --> 04:52:03.820 And revealed holding on there, but again, 04:52:03.820 --> 04:52:05.900 another infield passes. 04:52:05.900 --> 04:52:08.580 SSJ needs some work. 04:52:08.580 --> 04:52:11.260 Finally, Aaron touch out of Virtus Pro. 04:52:11.260 --> 04:52:12.140 Good lead on the pitch. 04:52:14.820 --> 04:52:16.540 Here, revealed needed that midfield boost. 04:52:16.540 --> 04:52:19.460 He gets it now to challenge Wavy. 04:52:19.460 --> 04:52:20.860 That ball skirts out. 04:52:20.860 --> 04:52:23.660 Talk, ready to receive it. 04:52:23.660 --> 04:52:26.940 Probably not the touch he wanted. 04:52:26.940 --> 04:52:28.980 Two-piece holdness. 04:52:28.980 --> 04:52:29.580 Now to get to it. 04:52:29.580 --> 04:52:31.060 Zack was ready. 04:52:31.060 --> 04:52:34.340 Two-piece follow-up gives Wavy a free chance at this 04:52:34.340 --> 04:52:37.380 after both Verna's pro players committed. 04:52:37.380 --> 04:52:39.420 Now look, having a one-back talk, 04:52:39.420 --> 04:52:41.500 preventing a hard hit out from Zack. 04:52:41.500 --> 04:52:43.540 Two-piece gets the ball, and Space Station 04:52:43.540 --> 04:52:48.420 just how left empty handed again not even a chance to feel pressure in the orange hat 04:52:52.180 --> 04:52:55.300 feel a little bit of room here with zack maybe just completely gives it up though 04:52:55.300 --> 04:52:57.540 would rather use all his boosts to get it to the corner 04:52:58.740 --> 04:53:02.900 and vertus want to play a counter so far they've got a couple quick beats 04:53:03.460 --> 04:53:08.740 you're passing it waving to the side but no boost so talk has to dial back and it's gonna 04:53:08.740 --> 04:53:12.980 be wavy trying to set up two piece talk to get the mid so plays this towards two piece 04:53:13.540 --> 04:53:15.740 But it's just not threatening enough. 04:53:15.740 --> 04:53:19.700 That being said, the other way, SSG want to go, 04:53:19.700 --> 04:53:23.260 but even for them, their offense is so short-lived here. 04:53:23.260 --> 04:53:26.780 They have to break this, because right now, at this point, 04:53:26.780 --> 04:53:29.420 Curtis are so comfortable staying in this position, 04:53:29.420 --> 04:53:31.580 Jorbey, they can do it until the clock runs out 04:53:31.580 --> 04:53:34.700 and they're going to add one and oh, two beats. 04:53:34.700 --> 04:53:36.220 This was a disaster from the start. 04:53:36.220 --> 04:53:38.500 Diaz had no boost and he gets that 50, 04:53:38.500 --> 04:53:41.580 but Zack is in the middle of rotating out of the way. 04:53:41.580 --> 04:53:45.220 The 50 goes right into his car, he's sideways. 04:53:45.220 --> 04:53:46.500 Nobody else is ready for that, 04:53:46.500 --> 04:53:50.420 because I would space station be anticipating that at all, 04:53:50.420 --> 04:53:53.500 which just leaves the back door wide open. 04:53:53.500 --> 04:53:55.540 And just not how they wanted to size it up. 04:53:55.540 --> 04:53:57.340 The S was trying to control the ball, 04:53:57.340 --> 04:53:58.780 and it skirts out from him, 04:53:58.780 --> 04:54:00.780 tried to adjust on the 50 afterwards, 04:54:00.780 --> 04:54:03.980 and then he gets boxed in by his own teammate by accident. 04:54:03.980 --> 04:54:05.420 Definitely not the game two space station 04:54:05.420 --> 04:54:06.860 we're hoping for. 04:54:06.860 --> 04:54:08.620 Yeah, I think it makes sense though. 04:54:08.620 --> 04:54:12.860 You know, Virtus.Pro has looked really solid. 04:54:12.860 --> 04:54:14.500 They're definitely consistent. 04:54:14.500 --> 04:54:17.300 They're using the bump stuff to try to force things. 04:54:17.300 --> 04:54:18.660 Awkwardly, it's Zag. 04:54:18.660 --> 04:54:19.700 Can he get one note? 04:54:19.700 --> 04:54:20.580 It's going to be two-piece. 04:54:20.580 --> 04:54:22.620 Yes, he's going to drop trying to set that up. 04:54:22.620 --> 04:54:24.500 This one mid and reveal wanted to cut it. 04:54:24.500 --> 04:54:24.940 And he's moving. 04:54:24.940 --> 04:54:26.260 Reveal loses that. 04:54:26.260 --> 04:54:27.540 Talk wins to 50. 04:54:27.540 --> 04:54:31.060 Load, VS will eliminate the pressure. 04:54:31.060 --> 04:54:33.500 But for her right now, it just feels like base Asian 04:54:33.500 --> 04:54:35.620 are just not playing good rock right now. 04:54:35.620 --> 04:54:39.340 They have just not figured out a way through Vertistrope. 04:54:39.340 --> 04:54:42.380 Diaz has fallen to play off the ceiling. 04:54:42.380 --> 04:54:46.260 Pass to Reveal, denied Wavy in the area. 04:54:46.260 --> 04:54:49.140 Hard bounce towards talk, easy clear. 04:54:49.140 --> 04:54:51.940 Easy does it here with the final 50. 04:54:51.940 --> 04:54:53.300 Space station trying to reload. 04:54:53.300 --> 04:54:56.260 Tough to do when you have no boost in the tank. 04:54:56.260 --> 04:55:00.780 Reveal just tossing up dead balls. 04:55:00.780 --> 04:55:01.500 There's just no play. 04:55:01.500 --> 04:55:02.460 Diaz couldn't commit. 04:55:02.460 --> 04:55:03.780 He was last back earlier. 04:55:03.780 --> 04:55:04.860 Still last back now. 04:55:04.860 --> 04:55:07.900 demos don't matter. Here you go. You get a free out. 04:55:07.900 --> 04:55:10.460 Can that get something going here at the end of the game? Nope. 04:55:10.460 --> 04:55:14.100 Blindside challenged. Yeah, space station, right? 04:55:14.100 --> 04:55:16.260 There is no rhythm establishment. 04:55:16.260 --> 04:55:18.940 There is only one song on the playlist 04:55:18.940 --> 04:55:21.580 and it's Vertice Pro. 04:55:21.580 --> 04:55:23.300 Now final 20. 04:55:23.300 --> 04:55:26.260 Two-peats, bring it to the back wall. 04:55:26.260 --> 04:55:31.540 Then we get sit down, field, switch the play. 04:55:31.540 --> 04:55:35.300 And even with these final seconds, 04:55:35.300 --> 04:55:38.900 it shows no hope on the side of space station gaming. 04:55:38.900 --> 04:55:41.460 This was a shutout, and it was a bad one. 04:55:41.460 --> 04:55:43.820 Virtus.Pro 3-0 game two. 04:55:43.820 --> 04:55:47.620 And just two open nets, or the second one, 04:55:47.620 --> 04:55:49.140 effectively open. 04:55:49.140 --> 04:55:51.380 Wavy dotted the right side. 04:55:51.380 --> 04:55:52.780 The 50 that came out that reveal 04:55:52.780 --> 04:55:54.820 tried to get back to that one on the left side 04:55:54.820 --> 04:55:56.220 to open the scoring. 04:55:56.220 --> 04:56:00.140 Two-piece getting MVP honors in both of the games so far. 04:56:00.140 --> 04:56:06.860 two goals off of four shots and assist and a save to peace quietly having a consistent 04:56:07.420 --> 04:56:12.620 but productive series so far. And I believe talk has been at the bottom all the time. So I think 04:56:12.620 --> 04:56:18.940 Virtus.Pro got to be happy with that. You're not relying on the talk five that we had in the 04:56:18.940 --> 04:56:23.340 Boston split. You know, it's not crazy highlights for Virtus.Pro. They're just given what Space 04:56:23.340 --> 04:56:26.460 Station were handed. You know what I mean? On the same time, you know, you know, you 04:56:26.460 --> 04:56:30.460 They're just a little pretty because the shots have been good and the positioning has been good. 04:56:30.460 --> 04:56:35.020 They don't look as sloppy or awkward as we saw them on some of their lost 04:56:35.020 --> 04:56:37.180 teams that they probably should have beaten earlier on. 04:56:37.900 --> 04:56:43.820 This is well, this is them looking essentially in a form, not even at their peak just in form. 04:56:44.620 --> 04:56:47.500 Now for SSG though, they need to find their form. 04:56:48.460 --> 04:56:54.700 They only each play ahead one shot in that last game and that's just not enough off its output. 04:56:54.700 --> 04:56:58.540 They barely controlled the ball on offense as much as they needed to. 04:56:58.540 --> 04:57:03.500 They were getting beat out and they also just, you know, you expect teams to kind of play 04:57:03.500 --> 04:57:06.060 for each other and play up and I think they want to do that. 04:57:06.060 --> 04:57:11.260 But when the execution isn't there, that makes whatever structure they're trying to build 04:57:11.260 --> 04:57:13.220 break down really fast. 04:57:13.220 --> 04:57:15.540 So that's how it works. 04:57:15.540 --> 04:57:19.580 If you were NRG, who would you rather play out of this matchup? 04:57:19.580 --> 04:57:23.540 The loser goes to play them in lowers. 04:57:23.540 --> 04:57:28.180 Would you rather play space station if you're NRG because you won't play until tomorrow's. 04:57:28.180 --> 04:57:32.440 No guarantee you get like if assuming space station don't adjust here and if they keep 04:57:32.440 --> 04:57:34.940 looking like they are. 04:57:34.940 --> 04:57:36.440 If you're NRG who do you want? 04:57:36.440 --> 04:57:38.540 Listen if you're NRG you want everyone. 04:57:38.540 --> 04:57:39.540 You want to smash your NRG. 04:57:39.540 --> 04:57:40.540 Okay you're not Satu. 04:57:40.540 --> 04:57:41.540 You're not Satu. 04:57:41.540 --> 04:57:42.540 I'm going to be honest. 04:57:42.540 --> 04:57:44.540 Alright you don't have to go PR mode on me okay. 04:57:44.540 --> 04:57:45.540 I'm not going to go PR mode. 04:57:45.540 --> 04:57:48.540 I'm actually channeling probably baseboard of Satu on this one because I think for 04:57:48.540 --> 04:57:49.540 them. 04:57:49.540 --> 04:57:50.540 We don't need to do that. 04:57:50.540 --> 04:57:55.700 If you want to be trying to be the best team in the world, you're trying to win everything. I talked to Matt, too 04:57:55.700 --> 04:58:01.200 He did say you want to win everything you have to be able to beat everyone sure look they're not they're definitely not at 04:58:01.200 --> 04:58:04.260 Point right now. I think both of these teams have taken wins off of NRG 04:58:04.260 --> 04:58:11.740 I think NRG want that get back no matter what so fair now, you know just whoever whoever comes down good luck 04:58:13.380 --> 04:58:16.040 Revenge mode either way way to the lower bracket 04:58:17.120 --> 04:58:18.860 space station 04:58:18.860 --> 04:58:22.100 Get things figured out here looking for their first game win 04:58:22.460 --> 04:58:30.700 Our last match of Saturday reveal get it off the kickoff once I'm started with a bang, but talk will swat it away 04:58:32.180 --> 04:58:34.640 All right get started off on the VL. Let's see 04:58:35.540 --> 04:58:38.060 How coach expert handle the timeout? 04:58:38.780 --> 04:58:43.780 Diaz already in the flip. He said to a pop to reveal. You would have connected with that that would have been a goal 04:58:43.780 --> 04:58:48.900 I don't like that he I know there's so much talk doesn't get around that ball 04:58:48.900 --> 04:58:52.340 because yeah it's such an aggressive third-man challenge you should have 04:58:52.340 --> 04:58:56.500 simply left in that open and it could have gone the other way but I said she's 04:58:56.500 --> 04:59:00.100 still keeping this ball on the workshop for now a lot of closeness to like 04:59:00.100 --> 04:59:04.660 reveal trying to get the follow-up touch you also didn't want to hit the 04:59:04.660 --> 04:59:08.740 ad he was playing so tight you don't roll this car and wait you roll this car 04:59:08.740 --> 04:59:12.460 took him up half the ball Diaz one snap reveal going for the bumping again 04:59:12.460 --> 04:59:19.320 Aggressive posture from the space station having to expend the tech Zach on small pads has to make the grab and they need a rebound 04:59:19.320 --> 04:59:25.180 There's two pieces coming in Diaz able to get there quick reveal try to slow it down wavy gets in the way 04:59:25.580 --> 04:59:28.720 That was precarious space station, but they make it work 04:59:29.980 --> 04:59:35.540 The credit to reveal here also to Zach for the assist reveal initial 50 goes down field 04:59:35.540 --> 04:59:41.620 with the Buckeye 1-1 and then just perfectly just stays on top of the play to get the reader 04:59:41.620 --> 04:59:46.980 right. Can't that ball track the entire way and now SSG in front. 04:59:48.180 --> 04:59:53.380 Fogger ran into reveal when he was in the middle of all of that and it just helped get reveal 04:59:53.380 --> 05:00:00.180 momentum to put him in position. A talk with the landing, back pass and saved. Zeph up and 05:00:00.180 --> 05:00:05.620 cover. Fuck will hold the line. Wavy's got to get filled boost. Two piece will come up to support. 05:00:06.580 --> 05:00:12.420 Everyone from space station stacked up. Zach will get the touch and this forces two piece back. Zach 05:00:12.420 --> 05:00:16.340 trying to park himself on the boost. He gets kicked out of the way. Two piece gets his corner 05:00:16.340 --> 05:00:24.180 boost. He has the ball. Has some help from Wavy. That's high high ball there from Tawks 05:00:24.180 --> 05:00:34.180 and in the middle but no one there to follow it so it'll be SSG who are actually really slow to get this out and it's going to be a funny one for Waving. 05:00:34.180 --> 05:00:38.180 Burt is pulling, not waiting around there, taking the ball and equalizing. 05:00:38.180 --> 05:00:48.180 It's Zach, he's up against two-piece, he's trying to work his way around him but a little awkwardness there is he's trying to get control of the ball, couldn't get his nose behind it at all. 05:00:48.180 --> 05:00:52.940 at all. Two-piece had him. He had the high ground. And there was just no way that Zach 05:00:52.940 --> 05:00:58.420 could find a way to get his nose in the center of that ball. He just gets dusted on the play. 05:00:58.420 --> 05:01:03.300 Reveal had nothing in the tank if you're with it. But they hit him right back.

Got a beautiful touch here. 05:10:46.260 --> 05:10:50.500 Nobody around's that trying to get back to read the double touch he almost does. 05:10:50.500 --> 05:10:53.620 But two-piece skirts it by him. 05:10:53.620 --> 05:10:56.340 And what a way to get yourself a lead. 05:10:56.340 --> 05:10:58.220 Vertis Bro. 05:10:58.220 --> 05:11:00.460 Space Station post-timeout, they got that one game win, 05:11:00.460 --> 05:11:04.260 but the offense has not been as electric. 05:11:04.260 --> 05:11:06.780 Because Vertis Bro's defense has not been as leaky. 05:11:06.780 --> 05:11:08.620 Space Station got to find a way to play it quick. 05:11:08.620 --> 05:11:11.220 You got a man downfield, and you can't beat him. 05:11:11.220 --> 05:11:12.140 You bump him. 05:11:12.140 --> 05:11:14.060 Reveals come to tie. 05:11:14.060 --> 05:11:16.540 I mean, this isn't looking exactly on the play. 05:11:16.540 --> 05:11:18.660 Wavy, he's been in this position before. 05:11:18.660 --> 05:11:20.420 Too many times this game. 05:11:20.420 --> 05:11:25.780 Vertis-Tron Leader Wachie alone, and SSG are using the numbers advantage. 05:11:25.780 --> 05:11:30.420 We are going punch for counter punch here in game four. 05:11:33.380 --> 05:11:38.020 Zack, I have to start things here on the space station side. 05:11:41.140 --> 05:11:42.980 Two-piece added some splash. 05:11:44.020 --> 05:11:46.100 Space station added an explosion. 05:11:46.100 --> 05:11:47.620 Now Zack gets a couple of fifties. 05:11:47.620 --> 05:11:52.000 Nothing for him. Park also trying for a bump in to make the line. 05:11:52.000 --> 05:11:54.920 What a catch from Reveal when he gets dunked into oblivion. 05:11:54.920 --> 05:11:57.760 Wavy collects the lead here for Curtis Park. 05:11:57.760 --> 05:12:03.840 When you see Curtis cross for against SSG, it feels almost little like they little parlor. 05:12:03.840 --> 05:12:09.560 The way that they just get on top, take the ball away from him and then make something happen. 05:12:09.560 --> 05:12:11.560 What a dunk there from Wavy. 05:12:11.560 --> 05:12:16.880 Reveal it. He got the catch and then turning. He knew he had to let that go soon. 05:12:16.880 --> 05:12:20.880 Dias was coming right behind, maybe expecting something low. 05:12:20.880 --> 05:12:22.880 Space station out of the way, certainly. 05:12:22.880 --> 05:12:24.880 Didn't get the result they were hoping for. 05:12:24.880 --> 05:12:28.880 Now in danger of going down 3-1 in the series. 05:12:28.880 --> 05:12:32.880 Tawk falls back onto the fall. 05:12:32.880 --> 05:12:35.880 Wavyl keeps them locked in for now. 05:12:35.880 --> 05:12:38.880 Two P's having to avoid a bump on his way up to defend. 05:12:38.880 --> 05:12:41.880 And they just get boxed by Zack. 05:12:41.880 --> 05:12:43.880 But one more keeps it out. 05:12:43.880 --> 05:12:50.380 Curtis brought under some pressure two-piece getting deleted space Asian what the game time goal no touch that shot 05:12:52.540 --> 05:12:54.740 He didn't have to work very hard to save that one 05:12:55.220 --> 05:13:01.880 Yeah, which is crazy because it looked like it was gonna be a free goal for Zach talk with on his way backwards towards the net 05:13:02.060 --> 05:13:05.020 And then next thing you know the ball goes right to him 05:13:06.660 --> 05:13:11.740 Could be placed a little bit better every play as a demo player right now for space Asian Diaz is downfield 05:13:11.740 --> 05:13:19.100 field almost every single push. Zack trying to change it up. They're only able to get by two. 05:13:19.100 --> 05:13:25.260 Third man is good. Pervert is pro. Diaz. Quick half flip to get back to the 50. Now space station. 05:13:25.260 --> 05:13:29.100 Wrong half of the field to be on here. The end of game number five. Two-piece. 05:13:29.740 --> 05:13:34.860 On the cross. Bumping Zack. Diaz. Devil wing talk. Reveal's got a little bit of space to work 05:13:34.860 --> 05:13:39.980 with. A little pure wet with a reset. 50 back to the corner. They get the boost steal. 05:13:39.980 --> 05:13:46.420 Zack looks for a pass back to Diaz to commit for Verna's pro now under some trouble reveal with a chain-dash 50 05:13:46.420 --> 05:13:52.100 Back to Diaz Zack right behind reveal once above he doesn't get it and that gets bumped out of the play one second left 05:13:52.100 --> 05:13:56.540 And the box he pushes teammate. It's clear away all in the air. Oh, yeah 05:13:56.540 --> 05:14:00.500 I still have to reveal onto the ground one more to go for Verna's pro 05:14:01.180 --> 05:14:03.180 Wow SSG 05:14:03.940 --> 05:14:05.940 You had Verna's with nothing 05:14:05.940 --> 05:14:11.300 thing in the tank and they couldn't turn it around and put a goal in that is a rough one. 05:14:11.300 --> 05:14:13.300 And now they're down 3-1 in this year. 05:14:13.300 --> 05:14:14.300 That's fine now. 05:14:14.300 --> 05:14:21.420 Like, Vert is just, even with SSG just, you know, trying to get the physicality in, it 05:14:21.420 --> 05:14:22.660 just hasn't been enough. 05:14:22.660 --> 05:14:26.980 Vert is probably just dominating over the course of this series. 05:14:26.980 --> 05:14:33.220 And I just feel like at this day, it's going to be a monumental effort for SSG to turn 05:14:33.220 --> 05:14:34.220 this around. 05:14:34.220 --> 05:14:40.140 We're talking about that shot that was right into talk's car that could have been what took 05:14:40.140 --> 05:14:42.300 us to an OT. 05:14:42.300 --> 05:14:44.300 What shot from two-piece. 05:14:44.300 --> 05:14:48.300 This right here reveal just couldn't get, couldn't release that ball in time, way to 05:14:48.300 --> 05:14:49.300 getting that dunk. 05:14:49.300 --> 05:14:54.180 We don't see that shot from, I believe it was Zach who shot the ball right into talk 05:14:54.180 --> 05:14:56.140 after they had opened up a chance. 05:14:56.140 --> 05:14:58.860 He was the only one in net. 05:14:58.860 --> 05:15:01.900 Talk didn't even have to get up high to make that save. 05:15:01.900 --> 05:15:05.700 If you're looking at that Playdazz, I was like, oh, that's the one they want back. 05:15:05.700 --> 05:15:08.900 It kind of shows you how tight it was at the end, because Space Station were bringing a 05:15:08.900 --> 05:15:11.740 lot of heat in that final minute. 05:15:11.740 --> 05:15:14.660 Anything that they could do to try to bump them, they were trying to credit the Virtus 05:15:14.660 --> 05:15:19.580 Pro for either having the layer to survive a demo or just to avoid the demo outright 05:15:19.580 --> 05:15:20.580 and get the save. 05:15:20.580 --> 05:15:21.580 They got it done. 05:15:21.580 --> 05:15:25.700 Virtus Pro handling the best of Space Station in that last 30. 05:15:25.700 --> 05:15:39.700 Now with this series potentially being over here in SSG with no timeouts and still unable to come out and put themselves back into the series. 05:15:39.700 --> 05:15:45.700 We're witnessing a dangerous spot for the defending regional champions. 05:15:45.700 --> 05:15:54.300 Space station will get the reward of flying NRG if they lose this game. 05:15:54.300 --> 05:16:01.700 As that will take a shot right into the ground, Wavy easily saves it. 05:16:01.700 --> 05:16:06.900 Accuracy really threatening shots coming an issue for space station if they can't get 05:16:06.900 --> 05:16:07.900 a demo. 05:16:07.900 --> 05:16:13.740 You know, something else that's becoming an issue is Wavy is becoming an issue. 05:16:13.740 --> 05:16:20.740 he's going down field stealing boost getting these weird cuts that just throw off SSG's rhythm and he's been so effective 05:16:20.740 --> 05:16:26.440 Oh, there's a ball! Yes, he's gonna collect, reveal, knock in the defense only, 2-0! 05:16:27.740 --> 05:16:32.740 If you can knock it out of the way, Spaceship are going to score and this time they do collect it. 05:16:33.240 --> 05:16:39.740 I wonder, guys, if we saw what happened to the result of the last game when Space Station could not get that final bump 05:16:39.740 --> 05:16:43.460 Birds 4 have been able to respond in each of these games. 05:16:43.460 --> 05:16:47.180 Kickoff, the space station's way right to Diaz reveals. 05:16:47.180 --> 05:16:49.740 There, easy tipping for reveal. 05:16:49.740 --> 05:16:52.180 You could tell as soon as waving up this touch. 05:16:52.180 --> 05:16:54.460 I mean, he's in an awkward spot for sure. 05:16:54.460 --> 05:16:57.220 He doesn't want to give it straight to the offense, 05:16:57.220 --> 05:16:59.220 but he ends up giving it straight to the offense. 05:16:59.220 --> 05:17:00.820 Diaz, one-two play. 05:17:00.820 --> 05:17:03.620 That's a tough save to make, both of them. 05:17:03.620 --> 05:17:06.220 So now back-to-back goals given up here, 05:17:06.220 --> 05:17:09.220 SSJ finds themselves in a comfortable spot for once. 05:17:11.220 --> 05:17:14.220 Game three when they put a sixth spot on Virtus.Pro. 05:17:15.220 --> 05:17:17.220 We're going to hold closer to that in the opening minute. 05:17:18.220 --> 05:17:19.220 Virtus.Pro. 05:17:21.220 --> 05:17:22.220 We'll find a way through Zack. 05:17:23.220 --> 05:17:26.220 Diaz pops it up, Reveal almost gets down. 05:17:27.220 --> 05:17:30.220 Tok had to dive across to get that save and he got to control it. 05:17:31.220 --> 05:17:32.220 Here he has two-piece to help him out. 05:17:32.220 --> 05:17:35.220 They got midfield moves, but a huge clear from Zack. 05:17:36.220 --> 05:17:40.220 Maybe he'll want to get another touch up off the ceiling from that. 05:17:40.220 --> 05:17:47.060 This is a little awkward because two pieces left alone, but maybe he can just try to walk 05:17:47.060 --> 05:17:48.060 around the field. 05:17:48.060 --> 05:17:52.060 He wants to get used to deny from SSG, he wants to see if he can interrupt the ball. 05:17:52.060 --> 05:17:57.060 He'll do multiple things at once here, all just to try to disrupt SSG's flow. 05:17:57.060 --> 05:18:01.460 That being said though, if they can't hold on to the possession when they bring 05:18:01.460 --> 05:18:03.460 it up the field, it's going to be off and off. 05:18:03.460 --> 05:18:05.340 It was a good demo to talk. 05:18:05.340 --> 05:18:08.380 It would have been a clean follow-up for Space Station. 05:18:08.380 --> 05:18:11.660 He takes away the follow-up option. 05:18:11.660 --> 05:18:14.220 Curtis Prod, doing enough to survive. 05:18:14.220 --> 05:18:16.340 Talk at the fight for his own quarter boost 05:18:16.340 --> 05:18:18.420 while the ball is over in the blue half. 05:18:18.420 --> 05:18:20.660 He's up here in the midfield. 05:18:20.660 --> 05:18:23.140 And he'll give Zack backwards the ball. 05:18:23.140 --> 05:18:24.540 He goes, reset. 05:18:24.540 --> 05:18:27.060 But Wavy already jumped on it. 05:18:27.060 --> 05:18:29.740 He has his force by time. 05:18:29.740 --> 05:18:31.940 He does do a good job of buying that time as well. 05:18:31.940 --> 05:18:35.780 If you look over one and he almost got a goal from it, 05:18:35.780 --> 05:18:39.460 2P said no boost, but just barely able to have the speed 05:18:39.460 --> 05:18:40.820 to get there. 05:18:40.820 --> 05:18:41.320 Away. 05:18:41.320 --> 05:18:42.300 He's big. 05:18:42.300 --> 05:18:43.940 That's him. 05:18:43.940 --> 05:18:45.580 I think Toc caught Reveal off guard here. 05:18:45.580 --> 05:18:46.580 Toc revealed Kim. 05:18:46.580 --> 05:18:48.100 He's watching Wavy and Zac. 05:18:48.100 --> 05:18:49.060 And Toc is there. 05:18:49.060 --> 05:18:50.180 2P was in the area. 05:18:50.180 --> 05:18:52.180 He just wasn't looking at him. 05:18:52.180 --> 05:18:55.260 Wasn't looking at him. 05:18:55.260 --> 05:18:57.860 Yeah, that's a comps thing that you 05:18:57.860 --> 05:19:01.900 have to be able to talk to your team in that moment. 05:19:01.900 --> 05:19:03.980 Say who's going where, who's going next. 05:19:03.980 --> 05:19:05.980 I was wondering when they were going to get caught on next. 05:19:05.980 --> 05:19:07.860 How many times have we seen space stations stacked 05:19:07.860 --> 05:19:09.820 that close together in the series? 05:19:09.820 --> 05:19:12.100 And here's a number one dangerous Diaz. 05:19:12.100 --> 05:19:15.740 Diaz the same talk coming across, couldn't get it done. 05:19:15.740 --> 05:19:19.660 Gifford Diaz has revealed mid, wants to create form. 05:19:19.660 --> 05:19:21.180 Good read there for Wavy. 05:19:21.180 --> 05:19:22.820 Wavy might be needed again, though. 05:19:22.820 --> 05:19:23.980 Tog is a little awkward. 05:19:23.980 --> 05:19:25.140 Wavy went for the corner booster. 05:19:25.140 --> 05:19:26.780 He's going to be a little slow here. 05:19:26.780 --> 05:19:30.620 Meanwhile, Reveal moving upfield to see if he can cut things 05:19:30.620 --> 05:19:35.180 of trying to sneak around while Diaz moves up, Diaz even get a bug on him. 05:19:35.180 --> 05:19:38.860 He's, it worked and Diaz got the redirect. 05:19:38.860 --> 05:19:43.380 Diaz just rips the ball out from the midfield. 05:19:43.380 --> 05:19:45.540 He ain't looking at nobody but the ball. 05:19:45.540 --> 05:19:47.700 Two-piece, no chance at him. 05:19:47.700 --> 05:19:50.020 No, he might have been able to get that, but he just couldn't. 05:19:50.020 --> 05:19:54.420 And he quickly, releasing, reveal ever since he had his last touch on the ball. 05:19:54.420 --> 05:19:59.420 He literally just skayed over on the oars half, driving around in circles, 05:19:59.420 --> 05:20:02.180 flipping around trying to get a bump. 05:20:02.180 --> 05:20:05.340 Just hitting Buff, especially that one that he got there. 05:20:05.340 --> 05:20:06.660 That was an extra effort. 05:20:06.660 --> 05:20:09.060 And Wavy trying to strike back Diaz. 05:20:09.060 --> 05:20:09.900 What a save. 05:20:09.900 --> 05:20:12.060 It was a quick pass from talk to Wavy, 05:20:12.060 --> 05:20:14.220 but not enough to bring it within one. 05:20:14.220 --> 05:20:16.540 They're going to try again and talk, 05:20:16.540 --> 05:20:19.740 deny here, as Vertus Pearl slowing down. 05:20:19.740 --> 05:20:23.260 Not just on the goal tending, Diaz has three saves, 05:20:23.260 --> 05:20:25.620 but also a lot of clears from Diaz. 05:20:25.620 --> 05:20:27.700 Defensively have kept him stable. 05:20:27.700 --> 05:20:31.340 Meanwhile, Zach is busting things down on the Orange half. 05:20:31.340 --> 05:20:33.140 Four-one here for Space Station. 05:20:33.140 --> 05:20:36.460 Gross, that first touch is so clean. 05:20:36.460 --> 05:20:40.220 Just keeps the ball, just the lightest of touches. 05:20:40.220 --> 05:20:42.940 Just to follow into the flip reset, I mean, it's on. 05:20:42.940 --> 05:20:44.500 It's on target. 05:20:44.500 --> 05:20:46.980 SSG now, four-one. 05:20:46.980 --> 05:20:48.820 And they, obviously, you know, 05:20:48.820 --> 05:20:50.940 they must win situation in this series. 05:20:50.940 --> 05:20:51.780 No timeouts. 05:20:51.780 --> 05:20:53.460 You're not even putting this, 05:20:53.460 --> 05:20:54.820 you're not even tying up the series here. 05:20:54.820 --> 05:20:56.660 You're just forcing the game six. 05:20:56.660 --> 05:21:01.780 There's so much work to do, but they are starting to kind of control the pace, control the game. 05:21:01.780 --> 05:21:06.820 Virtus.Pro, they need this series win more than Space Station does in the upper bracket. 05:21:06.820 --> 05:21:14.420 Space Station, the defending regional champions, while Virtus.Pro didn't even make it to the weekend. 05:21:14.420 --> 05:21:19.220 And they got to do so much work to be able to get into Paris. 05:21:19.220 --> 05:21:23.620 And the last thing you want to have to do is have to beat NRG two times in one weekend. 05:21:23.620 --> 05:21:25.380 Something literally nobody does. 05:21:25.380 --> 05:21:35.380 The Virtus.pro, you're probably not getting the win in this game, but you've bought yourself a little bit of time to get things going, to get things right. 05:21:35.380 --> 05:21:42.380 You need as high of a placement as possible, and doing it in uppers, they need it so much more than Space Station does. 05:21:42.380 --> 05:21:49.380 Space Station just refused to die early in this fight, and a good job from them recovering overall. 05:21:49.380 --> 05:21:56.100 In this game, especially after what VP were able to do in the last one, Diaz trying to 05:21:56.100 --> 05:22:01.820 feather that ball right down to his team, that defensively he was a star in this game. 05:22:01.820 --> 05:22:06.740 Diaz doing so much to make sure that Vardis Pro only had one goal to their name. 05:22:06.740 --> 05:22:10.860 And that's exactly what Vardis Pro will get in the effective game time here. 05:22:10.860 --> 05:22:13.860 We play one more heading to Neo Tokyo Space Station. 05:22:13.860 --> 05:22:16.860 Trying to force game set. 05:22:16.860 --> 05:22:27.540 SSG with just control, I don't even know what you want to call it, just domination in that 05:22:27.540 --> 05:22:29.540 last game. 05:22:29.540 --> 05:22:32.700 For them, they probably wish they did it earlier, turned it on earlier. 05:22:32.700 --> 05:22:39.500 Now we go into game six, Virtus Pearl, only one goal there from them, Wavy, who's usually 05:22:39.500 --> 05:22:45.500 getting a goal and a bunch of shots, only had one shot, with a lot of time on defense, 05:22:45.500 --> 05:22:52.500 Lots of saves, and Virtus.Pro are gonna call a timeout here as they need some time to take these over. 05:22:52.500 --> 05:22:59.500 You take a look there, I've just scored a lot of demos, and that's not even counting some of those clutch bumps on the side of Space Station Gaming, 05:22:59.500 --> 05:23:02.500 but that physicality was way too much for Virtus. to handle. 05:23:02.500 --> 05:23:09.500 Yeah, there's just no answer for it. If VP can't, if they can't play it themselves, it's just that one bump. 05:23:09.500 --> 05:23:11.500 Almost feels like do you 05:23:13.500 --> 05:23:17.340 Do you not commit second man as much do you try to give yourself some layers if 05:23:17.840 --> 05:23:24.460 You're constantly how many 1v2s or vertice probe facing with space station in that game 05:23:24.500 --> 05:23:31.380 Like there were four or five times that space station had a two-on-one advantage at the top of the box 05:23:31.880 --> 05:23:33.880 you got to find ways to 05:23:33.880 --> 05:23:37.040 to change that advantage up, to give yourself 05:23:37.040 --> 05:23:40.200 that extra lever to pull on defense. 05:23:40.200 --> 05:23:41.440 And those bumps are so tough, 05:23:41.440 --> 05:23:42.760 if they knock you off your rhythm. 05:23:42.760 --> 05:23:44.800 We see physical play, it'll knock the best teams 05:23:44.800 --> 05:23:47.920 in the world off, if they can't avoid the bump. 05:23:47.920 --> 05:23:50.680 Space station, some of the best at getting it done. 05:23:50.680 --> 05:23:52.120 Virtus.Pro gotta find a way. 05:23:52.920 --> 05:23:55.720 Can SSG pull off that 3-1 comeback? 05:23:55.720 --> 05:23:58.800 They have the tools to, I feel confident 05:23:58.800 --> 05:24:02.240 in them to do so, but it's just about that execution. 05:24:02.240 --> 05:24:05.280 They've been they've been hot and cold, especially this series. 05:24:05.720 --> 05:24:10.360 I think for this pro right now, it just comes down to kind of the start of things 05:24:10.360 --> 05:24:14.680 and get a high hand, go back at that last game, Jordan dropping those two goals 05:24:14.680 --> 05:24:17.620 so early, kind of threw their rhythm off a lot. 05:24:17.620 --> 05:24:23.240 And it was just a struggle to get things going since then for them again. 05:24:23.240 --> 05:24:26.920 I really it's interesting to say a lot of us put eyes on talk. 05:24:26.920 --> 05:24:31.400 But for me, Wavy, Wavy does a lot of work on an off ball, but especially 05:24:31.400 --> 05:24:35.560 off-ball and if he gets into his flow and can settle in here. 05:24:35.560 --> 05:24:38.200 Virtus.Pro we can see them close the series out right here right now. 05:24:38.200 --> 05:24:43.880 They've been able to close three so far. It's been tight and most of these games I think outside 05:24:43.880 --> 05:24:50.680 of that one that Virtus.Pro won 3-2 has been kind of one-sided dominant affairs outside of that 05:24:50.680 --> 05:24:57.400 one game. Space station on the kickoff here on Neo Tokyo like a date with Champions Field. 05:24:57.400 --> 05:25:04.600 Vardis Pro with their Paris hopes really in the balance right now. 05:25:04.600 --> 05:25:10.480 I want to go to Lowers early and potentially sacrifice all the points you 05:25:10.480 --> 05:25:13.160 could gain just by getting your top four right here and right now. 05:25:13.160 --> 05:25:16.800 So Tauk starts it off with a flipper, he's got a double. 05:25:16.800 --> 05:25:19.640 He wanted to drop that one down. 05:25:19.640 --> 05:25:24.200 Here's Reveal to Diaz, but cut off by Tauk. 05:25:24.200 --> 05:25:28.200 Falk takes it from his own back wall and Zach goes to intercept. 05:25:28.200 --> 05:25:31.200 He has just B lines and straight for Wavie. 05:25:31.200 --> 05:25:36.200 Reveal too far forward as Space Station gave me a guy to take it back to their own ass. 05:25:36.200 --> 05:25:38.200 Yeah, Reveal didn't think an extra touch was coming out. 05:25:38.200 --> 05:25:40.200 It looked like he was going to get a free shot. 05:25:40.200 --> 05:25:43.200 I think Space Station might have hinted there. 05:25:43.200 --> 05:25:47.200 Reveal, it looks, because on Reveal Cam, it looked like he might have got there. 05:25:47.200 --> 05:25:51.200 Maybe VP would have, but either way, Space Station, they don't get it 05:25:51.200 --> 05:25:53.200 and now Wavie puts it in their net. 05:25:54.200 --> 05:26:01.200 When he gets one, look at this great follow-up to off the touch off the ceiling, Reveal could 05:26:01.200 --> 05:26:10.000 read it, and for this pearl with the start, this is your SSG fan, look away, I'm pretty 05:26:10.000 --> 05:26:11.000 after this. 05:26:11.000 --> 05:26:15.320 So he said it was all about waving, and look who shows up to start. 05:26:15.320 --> 05:26:20.360 It's wavy, and after midfield, he wants to take another dive towards the ball, New 05:26:20.360 --> 05:26:23.080 Reveal is there. 05:26:23.080 --> 05:26:28.540 station all set up it's not gonna make them uncomfortable nice chibuch from 05:26:28.540 --> 05:26:34.480 talk shout-out to anyone who knows that reveal getting across here but Diaz 05:26:34.480 --> 05:26:40.000 unable to make a play on it here's two peas gets underneath it and fake the 05:26:40.000 --> 05:26:45.240 flick maybe he had a chance they're on a bump instead clear away and vertus 05:26:45.240 --> 05:26:50.920 pearl have the midfield locked down right now a little bit of a slip though 05:26:50.920 --> 05:26:55.920 DS winning 50s with 0 and talk. 05:26:55.920 --> 05:26:57.920 Not a lot of boost here, but does. 05:26:57.920 --> 05:27:00.920 He's able to carry it over one, forcing Zach out. 05:27:00.920 --> 05:27:03.920 Zach playing into the corner now leaves it for DS. 05:27:03.920 --> 05:27:05.920 Zach does not want to carry that. 05:27:05.920 --> 05:27:08.920 Now Zach gets involved and still it's just a 50. 05:27:08.920 --> 05:27:11.920 And they pop up by talk and two-piece hoop. 05:27:11.920 --> 05:27:13.920 Could have been the intubate follow-up target. 05:27:13.920 --> 05:27:14.920 Got demoed on the play. 05:27:14.920 --> 05:27:16.920 And Diaz now looking to set up a double!

It's a tough one though because when you get to the moment with the OT and the intensity of your 05:33:07.280 --> 05:33:08.520 unmatched point 05:33:08.520 --> 05:33:16.960 Things really start to shake up but vertus pro are on the verge of dropping a 3-1 lead in a series to SSG 05:33:16.960 --> 05:33:21.680 Here we go game seven. We are all champions field last split. We kept saying vertus pro 05:33:21.680 --> 05:33:26.920 They're next up, but to be next up you got to step up you got to close the series 05:33:27.720 --> 05:33:30.280 Gotta find a way to do it now to get a top four 05:33:31.000 --> 05:33:37.160 Collect some points that they missed out on last open space station winning the first regional of the split 05:33:37.400 --> 05:33:40.520 Let's just do it again. Yes getting bumped out of the way 05:33:43.520 --> 05:33:49.500 Artist pro one of the victims of demos and bums is much in that last game 05:33:51.680 --> 05:33:55.960 I've always got to be on a swivel for them when it comes to space station. 05:33:55.960 --> 05:33:58.360 I have a little bit of pressure right now. 05:33:58.360 --> 05:34:00.600 D.I. has had to use a ton of moves to get to that ball. 05:34:00.600 --> 05:34:02.600 And Zack is a pull retreat. 05:34:02.600 --> 05:34:06.600 I'm all going up and kneeling on that one. 05:34:06.600 --> 05:34:13.880 And you think to Zack who wants to carry that one but then Virtus.Pro kind of keeping 05:34:13.880 --> 05:34:15.880 that pressure up. 05:34:15.880 --> 05:34:22.320 Looking like birdish birds wanting to hit the ball hard see if they can force an error 05:34:22.680 --> 05:34:27.280 Not necessarily getting physical yet. As a good safe comes out like good people talk 05:34:29.800 --> 05:34:34.440 Nobody can really go for space station somehow Zach gets all of that ball 05:34:36.440 --> 05:34:38.440 Talk over the two-piece 05:34:38.440 --> 05:34:42.680 It's a little too slow to get with the with the awkward talk floating 05:34:42.680 --> 05:34:46.680 and training that ball just goes right into his bumper. 05:34:46.680 --> 05:34:47.560 It does. 05:34:47.560 --> 05:34:50.520 Zach with a little flip, two-piece, got no boost. 05:34:50.520 --> 05:34:52.680 This one off the backboard, nobody's around, 05:34:52.680 --> 05:34:54.320 reveal weights for the poor clear. 05:34:54.320 --> 05:34:56.360 Talk falls back down on his own ball 05:34:56.360 --> 05:34:58.880 and that 50 prevents what surely would have been an all 05:34:58.880 --> 05:35:01.200 right there, not even over as he has. 05:35:01.200 --> 05:35:02.040 Looks for some more. 05:35:02.040 --> 05:35:03.520 He's not going to get a corner boost for his effort. 05:35:03.520 --> 05:35:05.000 All corner boost protected. 05:35:05.000 --> 05:35:06.320 They ran into each other. 05:35:06.320 --> 05:35:16.320 And SSG picked up one, you talked about the bob two-piece and talking that thing out. 05:35:16.320 --> 05:35:20.520 That is so unfortunate, Wavy can't get a read on the shot. 05:35:20.520 --> 05:35:23.520 And SSG in the lead here. 05:35:23.520 --> 05:35:26.520 There's nothing to test in here, doesn't it? 05:35:26.520 --> 05:35:29.120 I mean, it's a defensive disaster, Jorbey. 05:35:29.120 --> 05:35:35.360 It really is, but you've got three minutes plus left, and you've got to recover from 05:35:35.360 --> 05:35:42.320 that mistake. Game 7, you had the lead. This is where your fortitude truly is under fire. 05:35:44.640 --> 05:35:48.560 VertusPro looking for some health pickups. He's revealed with a 50. Perfect. 05:35:48.560 --> 05:35:53.040 DeltaZack almost found the right side. Denied by Wavy who gets deleted. 05:35:53.040 --> 05:35:56.960 Diaz keeps it tight on the 50. Zack doesn't have a ton of boost, but Diaz is just 05:35:56.960 --> 05:36:01.840 bumping and bruising the entire backline of VertusPro who can't see the key. Four wheels 05:36:01.840 --> 05:36:06.640 on the ground as it goes straight back to the box clear down again quick counter 05:36:06.640 --> 05:36:10.640 denied reveal in the area and knocks it away 05:36:10.640 --> 05:36:16.800 SSG kind of sensing the weakness here on Virtus Pro they want to capitalize make 05:36:16.800 --> 05:36:21.640 them awkward see if they can get a bucket they're looking to extend the 05:36:21.640 --> 05:36:28.240 lead. Virtus Pro they can't even connect to the midfield. They're going the other way. 05:36:28.240 --> 05:36:32.240 Reveal almost did it all himself, but it was denied right at the goal line. 05:36:32.240 --> 05:36:34.880 You're not talking about first touches. I mean, that was just... 05:36:34.880 --> 05:36:37.840 Jeez, Reveal. You can do whatever you want, man. You get touches like that? 05:36:38.880 --> 05:36:41.440 Two-piece. Oh, good adjustment after he got buffed. 05:36:41.440 --> 05:36:44.240 Leaves it! And somehow Diaz keeps it alive! 05:36:45.280 --> 05:36:46.880 I thought that was a goal for sure! 05:36:48.160 --> 05:36:50.000 And that's still, I says, G up in front. 05:36:51.920 --> 05:36:54.720 Virtus. Pro though knocking. Diaz. 05:36:54.720 --> 05:36:57.200 Oh, he's gonna leave this wave. We'll take the front though. 05:36:57.200 --> 05:36:59.620 Oh, Wavy! 05:36:59.620 --> 05:37:02.620 Ducks it in! 05:37:02.620 --> 05:37:04.940 The rocket booster on the ball. 05:37:04.940 --> 05:37:06.940 Diaz couldn't get back to it. 05:37:06.940 --> 05:37:08.380 The ball skirts away from him. 05:37:08.380 --> 05:37:11.700 Wavy had that all day. 05:37:11.700 --> 05:37:14.500 Ducks Diaz out of the play. 05:37:14.500 --> 05:37:15.580 And we got a ball game. 05:37:19.060 --> 05:37:22.940 Diaz placed it off the kickoff to the back wall. 05:37:22.940 --> 05:37:24.700 We've got to get more on two-piece reveals. 05:37:24.700 --> 05:37:26.700 The corner! 05:37:26.700 --> 05:37:29.700 A wave he'd give us, and then wave he'd take it away. 05:37:29.700 --> 05:37:30.700 Diaz splits over one. 05:37:30.700 --> 05:37:34.700 He tries to play it now that he can't hold the ball. 05:37:34.700 --> 05:37:36.700 It skips away from him. 05:37:36.700 --> 05:37:39.700 He thought he could catch it, go up the wall instead. 05:37:39.700 --> 05:37:41.700 The ball had other ideas. 05:37:41.700 --> 05:37:44.700 And Space Station ripped the lead away. 05:37:44.700 --> 05:37:46.700 Now they got to hold on to it. 05:37:46.700 --> 05:37:48.700 Curtis Pro looking to strike back. 05:37:48.700 --> 05:37:49.700 Good kickoff to set it up. 05:37:49.700 --> 05:37:51.700 Wave he got the double two-piece. 05:37:51.700 --> 05:37:52.700 He's going to be Zaks in this ball. 05:37:52.700 --> 05:37:57.920 he does. He's gonna look for a but point Diaz. Diaz so smart seeing that cutting 05:37:57.920 --> 05:38:02.160 it away. Now wave he long clear of field and two piece was there to get it. 05:38:02.160 --> 05:38:05.260 Drops down Diaz nice and away but it's a free ball for talk. 05:38:05.260 --> 05:38:08.700 Tog just shoots it at net. Zach plays the high. Two piece has the boost. 05:38:08.700 --> 05:38:13.340 Gonna send it across to Tog and Zach a cut again. That was such a good well 05:38:13.340 --> 05:38:17.980 drawn out play for VP. That was as good as you just were. So good at cutting it out. 05:38:17.980 --> 05:38:21.980 Do Zach was so fast there. You said like talk was in the perfect spot for two pieces past 05:38:21.980 --> 05:38:24.980 But he was not nearly as fast now talk here. He goes again 05:38:24.980 --> 05:38:29.420 We said pass wavy camp on the net two piece coming in to buy time 05:38:29.820 --> 05:38:34.180 Not much left of it as it gets ripped up high talk was hoping for something lighter 05:38:34.180 --> 05:38:38.280 It's forced to just dump it away wavy is not gonna get anywhere near it 05:38:38.280 --> 05:38:42.340 He's not even gonna get a corner boost that though. He gives up the ball to be back to talk 05:38:42.340 --> 05:38:47.860 It's an open net easy does it for space station insurance with 35 left 05:38:47.980 --> 05:39:09.980 That was big I mean look they want to create they want to keep the passing game going but you have to understand the risks that come with it's a big risk reward here and this is what happens when you can't connect down by two with 35 seconds left it looks like it's SSG's game unless we can see something here they're trying to play Jordan. 05:39:09.980 --> 05:39:11.980 Maybe he's still going. 05:39:11.980 --> 05:39:13.780 Zack, we'll get that one. 05:39:13.780 --> 05:39:15.980 There's been about three free jumps from Virtus.Pro there. 05:39:15.980 --> 05:39:18.980 Desperate, but desperation ain't getting you anything. 05:39:18.980 --> 05:39:21.980 Zack puts in another ball. 05:39:21.980 --> 05:39:24.980 And Diaz almost fell out of his game. 05:39:24.980 --> 05:39:26.980 That's how big he was. 05:39:26.980 --> 05:39:28.980 Can you believe this? 05:39:28.980 --> 05:39:33.980 Space Station gave me able to come out from a 3-1 deficit with no timeouts. 05:39:33.980 --> 05:39:35.980 Just a game. 05:39:35.980 --> 05:39:38.980 It's just been all rocket leak from them. 05:39:38.980 --> 05:39:46.380 Man, honestly, what a performance as this one's off the post, it bounces down, but 05:39:46.380 --> 05:39:52.180 I guess Diaz again, Diaz, whether it was he was scoring a goal, hitting a sick double 05:39:52.180 --> 05:39:59.020 tap, making great saves, buying time for his team, Diaz was doing everything in this series. 05:39:59.020 --> 05:40:04.620 With the journey this guy has been on, through the blasters he's been on, he helps complete 05:40:04.620 --> 05:40:07.060 the comeback for Space Station. 05:40:07.060 --> 05:40:13.060 DS finding the ice within his blood to get space station on another top full. 05:40:13.060 --> 05:40:17.060 This is, I mean, what a performance from DS. 05:40:17.060 --> 05:40:27.060 But also just SSG, I mean, the way they started that series off, they just, it just didn't look like that was what you wanted to see, or even what they expected out of themselves. 05:40:27.060 --> 05:40:31.060 Take the time out to figure out what they need to do. 05:40:31.060 --> 05:40:34.540 You start to see some life, but then you think, oh, maybe it's too late. 05:40:34.540 --> 05:40:38.540 Maybe Vertus are going to close things out of here after they get on match point. 05:40:38.540 --> 05:40:42.900 And SSG took it game by game by game, kept on their way, 05:40:42.900 --> 05:40:45.620 and the intensity was just too much for VP to handle. 05:40:47.460 --> 05:40:50.380 Excellent work from Space Station 4th Shore. 05:40:50.380 --> 05:40:53.980 They're trying to be that next team, that team that, yes, 05:40:53.980 --> 05:40:58.220 it's not just RRG and sometimes rebellion in this region. 05:40:58.220 --> 05:41:03.980 You guys not talking about Space Station with another top four and looking like one of the better teams here. 05:41:03.980 --> 05:41:07.660 Virtus.Pro had some really good ideas though. I really don't want to undersell Virtus.Pro. 05:41:07.660 --> 05:41:12.100 They won a 3-1 in this series for a reason. I thought they were creative. 05:41:12.100 --> 05:41:16.220 I thought they had a lot of really good plays. Two-piece was great on defense. 05:41:16.220 --> 05:41:20.200 Daz, you were talking about Wavy and what he was able to do on this team. 05:41:20.200 --> 05:41:22.660 Really, they only released a piece. Talk. 05:41:22.660 --> 05:41:25.680 felt like maybe he wasn't having his best day. 05:41:25.680 --> 05:41:28.220 Virtus.Pro are not out of this tournament. 05:41:28.220 --> 05:41:31.020 They get a second date with NRG, 05:41:31.020 --> 05:41:34.300 but this time, there's a lot more at stake for them. 05:41:34.300 --> 05:41:36.340 Space Station will move on to the top four. 05:41:36.340 --> 05:41:38.100 Virtus.Pro have some lowers, 05:41:38.100 --> 05:41:40.380 but that's all we got for RLCS Saturday. 05:41:40.380 --> 05:41:42.420 We've got the desk and an interview to close things out. 05:41:42.420 --> 05:41:44.900 Thank y'all so much for watching today. 05:41:44.900 --> 05:41:46.540 It has been a beautiful time, 05:41:46.540 --> 05:41:49.020 and we will see you on the next one. 05:41:52.660 --> 05:41:59.340 That's right. Again, a lot on the line for a few teams here. I mean, there's still those 05:41:59.340 --> 05:42:03.700 clinch possibilities for SSG. They got those finals ahead of them. So this rings them one 05:42:03.700 --> 05:42:08.340 step closer to be able to do that, getting that off their plate and not having to worry 05:42:08.340 --> 05:42:12.380 about it going forward. Of course, still wants more points in that open six, but you know, 05:42:12.380 --> 05:42:16.820 that'd be a nice little sigh of relief here. Looking at the series though, I don't know 05:42:16.820 --> 05:42:21.460 about you two, but do you feel like maybe that was a bit closer than we thought? Of 05:42:21.460 --> 05:42:25.820 course, Berk, you did have VP winning that one there, but this was tight. 05:42:26.380 --> 05:42:30.020 Yeah, no, that was definitely a lot closer than I thought. In all honesty, 05:42:30.020 --> 05:42:34.100 when I voted for VP that was coming from a place of I knew they had the 05:42:34.100 --> 05:42:38.380 potential to pop off, but there always was going to be that hesitation of can 05:42:38.380 --> 05:42:41.140 they close out? That's kind of been the missing factor between them and 05:42:41.140 --> 05:42:46.820 teams like SSG. So as far as SSG is concerned, they still have that clutch 05:42:46.820 --> 05:42:49.060 factor to their names. So flowers to you. 05:42:49.060 --> 05:42:53.880 Well, James, I got to line you up with a question here because, you know, we saw what 05:42:53.880 --> 05:42:56.620 Vertus Bro could do with NRG the other day. 05:42:56.620 --> 05:43:00.480 Now we've seen that they can do it against another team that's top in North America. 05:43:00.480 --> 05:43:05.740 Is NRG starting to worry that this might happen again? 05:43:05.740 --> 05:43:07.140 But they proved they proved they can lose. 05:43:07.140 --> 05:43:08.140 I'm confused. 05:43:08.140 --> 05:43:09.140 We don't think you'll leave that. 05:43:09.140 --> 05:43:10.140 They can lose. 05:43:10.140 --> 05:43:14.420 And then yeah, they'd be energy but just here against the last winner. 05:43:14.420 --> 05:43:15.420 But they lost. 05:43:15.420 --> 05:43:16.420 They lost. 05:43:16.420 --> 05:43:21.920 You know, I think overall, yes, Virtus. Pro, it's clear that they have that ability. 05:43:21.920 --> 05:43:27.080 But to me, there is a different, there's a difference between looking good on Saturday 05:43:27.080 --> 05:43:31.000 and looking good on Sunday. There's a difference between getting close and being able to finish 05:43:31.000 --> 05:43:36.240 the job. And the only team we've really seen be able to do that in North America recently 05:43:36.240 --> 05:43:42.680 has felt like it's been rebellion now SSG, but the clear favorites are still NRG without 05:43:42.680 --> 05:43:43.680 a doubt. 05:43:43.680 --> 05:43:50.640 Yes, Virtus Pro is good. They're very good. Yes, they did beat NRG before but a lot of people have beaten NRG on Friday and Saturday 05:43:50.640 --> 05:43:56.840 But Sunday is where it's really gonna have to come down to and we'll see I would put my my chips on NRG 05:43:56.840 --> 05:44:02.920 But I wouldn't count VP out. Hey, that's fair. I will say though. Our bracket was perfect for the day 05:44:04.120 --> 05:44:07.440 So far, that's impressive. We killed the bracket 05:44:07.440 --> 05:44:15.540 So are you sure because I feel like that we may have gotten some help from production fat fingering something on the inputs, but maybe put at the same time. 05:44:15.540 --> 05:44:19.080 It's we did it. This was our build a bracket. Yeah, our bracket. 05:44:20.220 --> 05:44:23.420 That is it is actually perfect. We're good so far. 05:44:23.580 --> 05:44:26.160 Things to tomorrow can change, though. Obviously. 05:44:26.160 --> 05:44:29.860 I mean, again, that that VP one, that was me making that call. 05:44:30.500 --> 05:44:33.540 So it might have been a little bit of hope you're in that one. 05:44:33.540 --> 05:44:35.540 I hope you're going to back me on that. 05:44:35.540 --> 05:44:37.540 I will do my best. 05:44:37.540 --> 05:44:39.540 I will do my best to back you. 05:44:39.540 --> 05:44:41.540 What does that even mean? Do your best to back you? 05:44:41.540 --> 05:44:43.540 It is or not? 05:44:43.540 --> 05:44:45.540 I might back on the Dignitas pick and I might not have yours. 05:44:45.540 --> 05:44:47.540 That's right. 05:44:47.540 --> 05:44:49.540 Looking back on the series though, Leap, 05:44:49.540 --> 05:44:51.540 I was shaking in my boots a little bit. 05:44:51.540 --> 05:44:53.540 I had predicted SSG. 05:44:53.540 --> 05:44:55.540 It was looking like a pretty solid VP performance. 05:44:55.540 --> 05:44:57.540 But then, you know, that game three, 05:44:57.540 --> 05:44:59.540 that game three really was like, 05:44:59.540 --> 05:45:01.540 oh, hold on a minute. This is a game three. 05:45:01.540 --> 05:45:07.300 really was like oh hold on a minute this is this is that SSG that just won the last open these guys 05:45:08.340 --> 05:45:14.340 they can be scary so overall you know even in the home stretch VP very easily could have won the 05:45:14.340 --> 05:45:18.180 series very easily could have pulled it through but sometimes you win those tight series sometimes 05:45:18.180 --> 05:45:23.540 you lose them I think the silver lining though is that they showed they can play with SSG they 05:45:23.540 --> 05:45:29.060 can beat NRG so I think the confidence for VP has to be there that they actually can win a 05:45:29.060 --> 05:45:36.660 region. Yeah no I think overall I'm loving that this was close. Her the fact that VP at least 05:45:37.300 --> 05:45:41.140 could have a fight this wasn't just that hey they've fallen off there's a clear difference between 05:45:41.140 --> 05:45:44.660 you know the top two in the in the region compared to them they're right there fighting. 05:45:45.220 --> 05:45:50.980 Absolutely and this squad is something else unfortunately for them though SSG is just 05:45:50.980 --> 05:45:54.580 always going to be a little bit better right now because it feels like it is their time. 05:45:54.580 --> 05:45:59.580 There was a reason that that got brought back and I mean, we could find out. 05:45:59.580 --> 05:46:00.580 Yeah. 05:46:00.580 --> 05:46:01.580 Yeah. 05:46:01.580 --> 05:46:07.580 And, uh, anyways, we, uh, we do have an interview as Jarvie promised, uh, on with us reveal. 05:46:07.580 --> 05:46:09.080 Hey, congratulations on the win. 05:46:09.080 --> 05:46:10.580 It was hard fought. 05:46:10.580 --> 05:46:11.580 Yep. 05:46:11.580 --> 05:46:12.580 Thank you. 05:46:12.580 --> 05:46:13.580 It was game seven. 05:46:13.580 --> 05:46:14.580 Yes. 05:46:14.580 --> 05:46:15.580 Yes, it was. 05:46:15.580 --> 05:46:16.580 Did you anticipate? 05:46:16.580 --> 05:46:20.580 I mean, I think everyone's got to have respect behind the VP squad here. 05:46:20.580 --> 05:46:23.580 Were you anticipating a series to go this far against them? 05:46:23.580 --> 05:46:25.580 I mean, of course, um 05:46:25.920 --> 05:46:29.460 They're a good roster, but and then and we kind of just frame like them 05:46:33.060 --> 05:46:39.180 So I I've got a question I the you know, Zach formerly known as scribbles kind of coming back 05:46:39.420 --> 05:46:41.840 Many of us baby surprised out of nowhere 05:46:42.260 --> 05:46:47.140 What was the process of getting him back and did you have to beg him? 05:46:47.260 --> 05:46:50.460 Was it easy to convince it like what happened? 05:46:50.460 --> 05:46:56.840 basically I had to go call him like once a week twice a week and he was keep on 05:46:56.840 --> 05:47:01.260 begging shrivels shrivels was always like top 10 still on Tuesday leaderboards 05:47:01.260 --> 05:47:07.340 so I think he always wanted to come back a little bit so you so it took some 05:47:07.340 --> 05:47:10.420 begging but in the end it was pretty easy because he still just wants to win 05:47:10.420 --> 05:47:19.260 huh yeah fair enough I did want to talk to you a little bit about heading in to 05:47:19.260 --> 05:47:25.420 tomorrow you guys this playstyle has been pretty intense I think it's the right word against a lot 05:47:25.420 --> 05:47:32.060 of teams when you guys are pushing up on the offensive attacks teams like NRG though are a little bit 05:47:32.060 --> 05:47:38.140 more methodical how do you feel like you might potentially face in the in the matchup if that 05:47:38.140 --> 05:47:45.180 happens um I say really pretty even with NRG they're a very good roster he's basically just 05:47:45.180 --> 05:47:50.460 he's playing better on the day. Okay. Oh, I got. Oh, okay. J. F. 05:47:50.460 --> 05:47:52.260 Schuett, unless you want to. I didn't have one question. I'm 05:47:52.260 --> 05:47:54.360 dying to know. I always love hearing the player's opinions. 05:47:54.360 --> 05:47:57.900 Um, you know, foot and Shopify rebellion. Uh, for you 05:47:57.900 --> 05:48:01.020 personally, where do you rank these two teams? Do you, do 05:48:01.020 --> 05:48:03.340 you have foot a little bit higher Shopify lower? Or do 05:48:03.340 --> 05:48:05.340 you think it's just one of those things where, you 05:48:05.340 --> 05:48:08.460 know, they're close enough to where any team could win on 05:48:08.460 --> 05:48:14.300 the day? Um, in theory, Shopify should be like, uh, 05:48:14.300 --> 05:48:21.100 better because, you know, first healer, he's like an icon of NA, but still close. 05:48:21.100 --> 05:48:22.620 Like he just comes down to play style really. 05:48:24.780 --> 05:48:25.580 Still close, eh? 05:48:25.580 --> 05:48:26.100 Okay. 05:48:26.100 --> 05:48:29.820 Well, I want to, I guess just ask him in general, your thought. 05:48:29.820 --> 05:48:33.900 I'm trying to get as many perspectives from different players here on the landscape. 05:48:33.900 --> 05:48:36.140 We talked to Sathya about this earlier as well. 05:48:36.140 --> 05:48:39.740 When it comes to landscape with North America, there's always talks about 05:48:40.460 --> 05:48:42.140 which teams are consistently at the top. 05:48:42.140 --> 05:48:47.500 We see, you know, NRG dropping yesterday into the lower bracket. 05:48:47.500 --> 05:48:53.500 We've seen some teams like M80 push up into a, you know, far in a playoff, then not make it. 05:48:54.060 --> 05:48:58.380 How do you feel in terms of the landscape of teams overall? 05:48:58.380 --> 05:49:00.060 Who really is the best? 05:49:00.060 --> 05:49:04.460 Is it that much of a mixed bag or is it just some chaos in the lower teams? 05:49:06.140 --> 05:49:11.820 I think that like this season NA is like very good. 05:49:11.820 --> 05:49:16.700 So I think every team can like have that competing potential to like win any 05:49:16.700 --> 05:49:20.540 series if the other team, yeah, the other team just like not taking it seriously. 05:49:20.540 --> 05:49:22.940 Anyone can like upset. 05:49:22.940 --> 05:49:27.340 Okay. Well, I hope everyone's saying, are you saying some people aren't taking a series? 05:49:27.340 --> 05:49:31.820 Um, no, not exactly. 05:49:31.820 --> 05:49:35.420 Yeah, that's the first, I'd say some of that is hard. 05:49:35.420 --> 05:49:39.500 That's good though. Hey, anyways, reveal all the matters is you guys got the dub 05:49:39.500 --> 05:49:42.860 here and you're going to try to keep doing that tomorrow. So congratulations and hopefully 05:49:42.860 --> 05:49:45.260 we'll chat with you after maybe a grand finals tomorrow. 05:49:45.260 --> 05:49:51.920 All right. Thank you. Yeah, again. Oh, that sounds like a, you know, you might be able 05:49:51.920 --> 05:49:54.060 to get an answer out of him on chalk cast or something. 05:49:54.060 --> 05:49:55.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 05:49:55.060 --> 05:49:56.060 Yeah. 05:49:56.060 --> 05:49:57.060 I'm going to spill the beans. 05:49:57.060 --> 05:50:00.060 Who's not working hard? Give us the lowdown. 05:50:00.060 --> 05:50:04.940 That's good. Hey, look, here we are job is to continue just getting the homework 05:50:04.940 --> 05:50:08.780 all wrapped up for you guys so we can send everyone off on the day. But looking 05:50:08.780 --> 05:50:14.300 at the bracket you know this is uh this is where it lands again straight up what we thought it would be 05:50:14.300 --> 05:50:19.500 at the beginning of the day i feel like tomorrow james that might shift a little bit though yeah it's 05:50:19.500 --> 05:50:25.980 it gets really interesting tomorrow i think for me i you know gen g played pretty well but it would 05:50:25.980 --> 05:50:31.260 take a lot for me to see them getting past rebellion on the other hand with energy vertus 05:50:31.260 --> 05:50:36.940 pro that one could go either way i still think energy is the favorite uh but if vp does manage 05:50:36.940 --> 05:50:42.980 should get past NRG again. I do think it's kind of a anyone's guess on who would move 05:50:42.980 --> 05:50:46.620 forward between them and foot. And you heard from the interview from cheese as well, you 05:50:46.620 --> 05:50:50.740 know, he he comes into these things, believing that he can win everyone. And honestly, you 05:50:50.740 --> 05:50:56.820 know, for the first time in a while, I believe that this cheese roster, this team actually 05:50:56.820 --> 05:51:01.460 could get the job done. So tomorrow is going to be really, really fun to watch a lot 05:51:01.460 --> 05:51:03.900 of unpredictability and can't wait to tune in. 05:51:03.900 --> 05:51:07.500 Exactly. I just want to take a quick look around the globe a little bit here. 05:51:07.500 --> 05:51:11.460 As you can see, no one's locked in anything for Paris at this point across any. 05:51:11.460 --> 05:51:14.100 Hold on. That's got to be a mistake on Mina, right? 05:51:14.600 --> 05:51:17.420 Well, there's, there's no, this is not a mistake. 05:51:17.940 --> 05:51:19.740 Oh, I'm going to get to that in one second here. 05:51:19.780 --> 05:51:20.620 Okay. Sorry. 05:51:20.620 --> 05:51:24.060 So I just wanted to quickly, I just want to quickly list off North America. 05:51:24.060 --> 05:51:28.460 Just what you guys can expect tomorrow is that energy saw as that clinch 05:51:28.460 --> 05:51:31.780 possibility for majors and worlds if they can win the event and then SSG 05:51:31.780 --> 05:51:35.860 can clinch out the major if they make the final. So two story lines to watch 05:51:35.860 --> 05:51:39.540 tomorrow for two of the favorites. We got over to Mina. We got to talk about 05:51:39.540 --> 05:51:45.300 this because things are getting a little crazy. As you guys can see the teams 05:51:45.300 --> 05:51:50.020 the team that we usually follow and expect to be at the top team Falcons 05:51:50.020 --> 05:51:55.460 having a bit of trouble over in the region just through yesterday and today 05:51:55.460 --> 05:51:58.660 and I want to talk about some scenarios because there's a possibility 05:51:58.660 --> 05:52:03.020 we don't see a team Falcons at Paris. 05:52:03.020 --> 05:52:05.700 Just looking very specifically to the two teams 05:52:05.700 --> 05:52:07.900 that can control their fate. 05:52:07.900 --> 05:52:08.800 You look near the top there. 05:52:08.800 --> 05:52:12.500 You've got Raid and Twisted Minds. 05:52:12.500 --> 05:52:15.860 Raid can clinch Paris by finishing top six or better 05:52:15.860 --> 05:52:16.700 in the next open. 05:52:16.700 --> 05:52:19.500 So they've got, which seems like that is going to be done. 05:52:19.500 --> 05:52:21.780 Yes, very possible. 05:52:21.780 --> 05:52:25.180 For Twisted Minds, they can clinch with a top two 05:52:25.180 --> 05:52:28.020 or better, so they're looking for grand finals. 05:52:28.020 --> 05:52:46.020 A top four at minimum though for them is best because they at least can force into a tie break if another scenario happens and that's going to be what the team that we're focused on here Falcons they've got to end up winning the whole thing to even look for that tie break. 05:52:46.020 --> 05:52:51.020 But they're on top of that they have to win and it can't be against twisted minds. 05:52:51.020 --> 05:52:52.020 Yeah, right. 05:52:52.020 --> 05:52:53.020 It has to be. 05:52:53.020 --> 05:52:54.020 Oh, wow. 05:52:54.020 --> 05:52:55.020 So, so we're. 05:52:55.020 --> 05:53:01.880 Man, that is that is a tough situation to be in for Falcons. It's like they are the face of Mina 05:53:02.420 --> 05:53:05.200 They were the team that that won the first major 05:53:05.740 --> 05:53:10.880 That was not in a and EU team. So that is quite shocking 05:53:10.880 --> 05:53:15.660 Honestly, it's unbelievable. Yeah. So if you're if you're planning to go to Paris 05:53:15.660 --> 05:53:19.420 I mean, I think we're in for some good storyline because there's a possibility again of history there 05:53:19.420 --> 05:53:24.660 You're gonna have some of the greatest that the greatest plays. I think we're gonna see rock rock league in general 05:53:24.660 --> 05:53:28.760 I love all the regions you heard it from reveal himself saying North America is super strong right now 05:53:28.760 --> 05:53:35.260 and just the fact that it's in Paris the French fans go crazy so grab your tickets if you haven't already 05:53:35.260 --> 05:53:41.460 and you're thinking about going because just go anyways we got to wrap things up here this is what's going to be tomorrow 05:53:41.460 --> 05:53:47.460 we've got five best of sevens as crowned champion for open number five tomorrow championship Sunday 05:53:47.460 --> 05:53:53.560 I think there's a few matches that are exciting to watch out which of these two I guess excites you the most 05:53:53.560 --> 05:53:55.560 Well, I know James's answer 05:53:58.760 --> 05:54:05.000 Honestly probably the same game as James, but for other reasons I'm excited to see what vert is probing to the table on energy 05:54:05.400 --> 05:54:09.960 Especially after what just happened. I feel like most people are looking forward to that one 05:54:09.960 --> 05:54:16.200 And of course a foot is gonna be really hey, hey her sorry to interrupt here, but we've been going back and forth all weekend 05:54:16.200 --> 05:54:20.920 I'm just I'm old.
