I think I gave them for one going into it 17:16.440 --> 17:20.660 Strictly business started off looking pretty good. They they're a team that just keeps you honest 17:20.660 --> 17:22.660 They are very capable 17:23.040 --> 17:28.200 Okra Highland mechanical player crispy and relating with relating with is such a veteran at this point 17:28.200 --> 17:29.760 He plays such 17:29.760 --> 17:33.460 Fundamentally sound rock it like that if you're messing up if you're making mistakes 17:33.460 --> 17:36.660 They'll be able to punish and it looked like you know 17:36.660 --> 17:43.260 They were really putting it to NRG early on but in the end energy just hit that gear the next level and yeah 17:43.260 --> 17:48.820 The business couldn't I was kind of disappointed by strictly business in the second half of this series because they didn't look 17:49.180 --> 17:52.620 Like that team that you were just talking about the second half of the series 17:52.620 --> 17:56.340 The first two games that they won wore that clean keeping you honest 17:56.340 --> 18:00.980 But then like third man was rotating forward too far taking too many risks this one right here like crispy 18:00.980 --> 18:05.540 What was he doing that far up as third man when nobody on this team even had the ball? 18:05.540 --> 18:09.060 So just like question marks I had in their rotation in the midfield 18:09.060 --> 18:14.540 I felt like strictly business left a lot on the table on on the end of that obviously and RG are gonna punish that 18:14.540 --> 18:19.500 Yeah, so I mean, that's that's what you expect once it comes to that that playoff weekend 18:19.500 --> 18:24.880 NRG is gonna step it up and I expect we're gonna see some some solid gameplay here on Championship Sunday 18:24.880 --> 18:27.500 But then we do go to that that match James was bringing up here 18:27.500 --> 18:32.940 uh, Dazrin, we look at that Dignitas Gen G match up here and that one was, uh, that was a scrapper. 18:32.940 --> 18:41.020 Yeah, it was. It was. I mean, Gen G versus Dignitas, man, James said it best. I mean, it was a sloppy 18:41.020 --> 18:47.580 joke. Sometimes sloppy jokes, like, he's absolutely right because it was, it was ugly. But one person 18:47.580 --> 18:53.420 who did look great was Magic Bear. He just had such a strong individual performance that it was 18:53.420 --> 18:56.460 exactly what I think a lot of people really wanted to see out of him. Same with 18:56.460 --> 19:00.580 Ryze and Frosty was there when he needed to be. That's when I feel like 19:00.580 --> 19:05.120 Genji's at their best when they don't need to rely on Frosty in order to make 19:05.120 --> 19:10.700 things happen. That being said though, Dignitas fought tooth and nails. James, you 19:10.700 --> 19:14.340 said it earlier and I think you're really right about it. It feels like 19:14.340 --> 19:20.020 Dignitas was just trying to survive during the series and Genji really 19:20.020 --> 19:23.460 They kind of had the tone and had the control for most of them. 19:23.460 --> 19:26.300 But Dignitas just made it scrappy and forced that seven. 19:26.300 --> 19:27.940 Yeah, it's like when you're watching a fight, 19:27.940 --> 19:30.620 one fighter clearly dominating, but the other fighter, 19:30.620 --> 19:34.100 you know, just flails and lands a solid punch 19:34.100 --> 19:36.220 and knocks them down and, you know, they get back up. 19:36.220 --> 19:38.940 But man, it was a scrappy bout all the way through. 19:38.940 --> 19:41.500 I think Genji could have gotten the job done 19:41.500 --> 19:43.180 a little bit cleaner. 19:43.180 --> 19:45.140 They looked like the better team in that series to me, 19:45.140 --> 19:47.780 but they were just making a few big mistakes 19:47.780 --> 19:49.660 in some really key moments. 19:49.660 --> 19:51.740 So overall, if they clean up those mistakes, 19:51.740 --> 19:53.780 I think they, you know, and if they wouldn't have made 19:53.780 --> 19:54.940 those mistakes in that series, 19:54.940 --> 19:58.300 could have been, you know, 4-1 or even more dominant, 19:58.300 --> 19:59.620 maybe completely swept them. 19:59.620 --> 20:01.900 But that's why you gotta give some credit to Dignitas. 20:01.900 --> 20:04.420 I think EVO was fantastic in the midfield, Bora, 20:04.420 --> 20:05.660 very consistent, and then five up 20:05.660 --> 20:06.820 was that clutch goal scorer. 20:06.820 --> 20:09.380 So you gotta, you know, credit Dignitas 20:09.380 --> 20:10.780 for staying in that series. 20:10.780 --> 20:12.900 But I think the takeaway I had from it was, 20:12.900 --> 20:14.500 Genji was clearly the better team, 20:14.500 --> 20:17.900 but they cannot afford big mistakes and big moments. 20:17.900 --> 20:19.040 We got two more to get through. 20:19.040 --> 20:21.760 Jorbey, let's talk about this shop and fire rebellion 20:21.760 --> 20:22.640 a foot match up here. 20:22.640 --> 20:25.080 Cause I think the desk went entirely shop fire rebellion 20:25.080 --> 20:25.920 on us and that was, 20:25.920 --> 20:26.760 we did. 20:26.760 --> 20:27.600 We did. 20:27.600 --> 20:29.560 And you know, I think that it would, 20:29.560 --> 20:32.040 we should have gone rebellion, rebellion. 20:32.040 --> 20:32.880 We should have found that. 20:32.880 --> 20:34.280 I don't know about that. 20:34.280 --> 20:36.680 No, what was, where was rebellion defense? 20:36.680 --> 20:37.520 Hang on. 20:37.520 --> 20:40.600 Here's, first of all, chronic absolute top five behavior 20:40.600 --> 20:42.360 from chronic this weekend so far. 20:42.360 --> 20:44.360 He was all over the pitch. 20:44.360 --> 20:45.920 Obviously we all know about this. 20:45.920 --> 20:47.680 Justin had to go for net though. 20:47.680 --> 20:50.360 He was scoring from spots you were like, 20:50.360 --> 20:51.840 how is he scoring from here? 20:51.840 --> 20:55.360 He did that three times that so hard too, yeah. 20:55.360 --> 20:57.400 But like, on the other side, 20:57.400 --> 20:59.840 what's going on with Rebellion's defense? 20:59.840 --> 21:02.120 Like, okay, we did the whole play style change. 21:02.120 --> 21:03.560 We got more aggressive, which is great. 21:03.560 --> 21:05.160 Have we over tuned a little bit? 21:05.160 --> 21:06.000 That's my concern. 21:06.000 --> 21:08.120 Like, some of these goals going in 21:08.120 --> 21:10.320 is like we're in hurry up mode. 21:10.320 --> 21:13.000 And this touch right here, like nobody follows it up 21:13.000 --> 21:14.680 and nobody's in position to follow that up. 21:14.680 --> 21:16.760 So like that kept happening to Rebellion 21:16.760 --> 21:19.400 later in the series, actually it's a crazy save from Chronic. 21:19.400 --> 21:22.240 My man's all over the freaking field this weekend, man. 21:22.240 --> 21:23.480 What a punch in the line. 21:23.480 --> 21:24.040 Absolutely. 21:24.040 --> 21:26.480 I mean, this was a huge result. 21:26.480 --> 21:29.280 I mean, I keep referencing the call, but she said it. 21:29.280 --> 21:30.600 Wins like this is why I play. 21:30.600 --> 21:34.400 And I mean, you're a team that I think the pressure is on 21:34.400 --> 21:35.000 for these players. 21:35.000 --> 21:37.400 These are all players where this might be the old, 21:37.400 --> 21:39.240 they could be thinking, this is the last chance I have 21:39.240 --> 21:41.200 being on a tier one team, having tier one offer, 21:41.200 --> 21:43.160 being on a fantastic org. 21:43.160 --> 21:44.680 They're all playing their hearts out. 21:44.680 --> 21:47.760 And it is teams like rebellion that if you can get wins 21:47.760 --> 21:50.000 against them, your stock skyrockets. 21:50.000 --> 21:53.200 You know, that was a huge win for Foot. 21:53.200 --> 21:55.040 And looking ahead, I think now that they even 21:55.040 --> 21:56.680 have a win against a team like that, which 21:56.680 --> 21:59.200 is a regional winning caliber team, 21:59.200 --> 22:01.400 they now have to have that belief in themselves. 22:01.400 --> 22:03.200 And they're also upping their stock 22:03.200 --> 22:05.120 to everyone out there who's a Rocket League 22:05.120 --> 22:06.040 sports fan watching. 22:06.040 --> 22:07.200 And it was awesome to see it. 22:07.200 --> 22:09.560 James decided to just say it's the players around them, 22:09.560 --> 22:10.060 too. 22:10.060 --> 22:11.480 I mean, we heard it from multiple people, 22:11.480 --> 22:13.760 Satya and a few others, that Foot is a team 22:13.760 --> 22:15.240 you need to take seriously. 22:15.240 --> 22:16.840 And from the reveal interview as well, 22:16.840 --> 22:19.920 where he says on paper, I'm paraphrasing, 22:19.920 --> 22:21.440 this isn't exact, but he says, yeah, 22:21.440 --> 22:24.160 if you look it on paper, rebellion should win. 22:24.160 --> 22:26.760 But Foot has the intangibles. 22:26.760 --> 22:29.360 They just look like the better team, 22:29.360 --> 22:30.640 even though player for player, 22:30.640 --> 22:32.680 the talent might not be at the same height, 22:32.680 --> 22:35.640 which is still Foot, the levels are way up there. 22:35.640 --> 22:38.320 And I think they continue to improve his time. 22:38.320 --> 22:40.000 Well, we were talking just yesterday, 22:40.000 --> 22:41.520 like they beat rebellion, 22:41.520 --> 22:43.480 then they are in the conversation. 22:43.480 --> 22:45.440 like that was the thing is like we just had to see it. 22:45.440 --> 22:47.080 We knew that that team had the potential. 22:47.080 --> 22:51.160 We knew that they were going to find good performances, 22:51.160 --> 22:53.640 but like we've seen so many teams do that, 22:53.640 --> 22:55.880 even with teams with known talent on it, 22:55.880 --> 22:57.400 like Akronik and adjusting, 22:57.400 --> 22:59.080 and then still fail, still falter, 22:59.080 --> 23:00.280 still fail to take the next step. 23:00.280 --> 23:02.400 So this is huge, four-foot and I think huge 23:02.400 --> 23:03.840 for all the fans out there 23:03.840 --> 23:05.520 that want this team to succeed. 23:05.520 --> 23:06.920 They are looking really good. 23:06.920 --> 23:08.560 Hey, top four is nice, but we'll see how it goes 23:08.560 --> 23:10.840 when they get their next opponent in a little bit here. 23:10.840 --> 23:12.400 But we had one more best of seven. 23:12.400 --> 23:19.320 That was space station versus a vertus pro and this was again a fun matchup. I'm back in this VP squad all the way 23:19.920 --> 23:23.520 Like you know that's you have to you're so full of it, dude 23:23.520 --> 23:29.960 You say that and you really picked SSG. No, I I have to keep I told you what I'm doing. It was 23:34.240 --> 23:40.080 Listen we as an analyst desk really need to keep our hosts honest because I'm not exactly 23:40.080 --> 23:50.080 I really like to play everything. Yeah both sides. I think it's gonna win here. We have great love for those. The players should definitely love that. 23:51.080 --> 23:55.080 We need to have consistency across the board. Why are we talking about the game? 23:55.080 --> 24:01.080 I told him, he's going to be quiet. This is me. I need you to sit down. I need you to shut up. 24:01.080 --> 24:06.080 Because this whole game, we're not going to be talking about the game guys. We space station at Vertus Pro. This was an excellent series. 24:06.080 --> 24:10.720 All right, like, Virtus.com probably got 3-1 in this set, looking really strong. 24:10.720 --> 24:14.400 And the other side, the back half of the series, from this point onwards, 24:14.400 --> 24:20.080 D.S. took over. He was all over the field. He had some incredible saves in this series. 24:20.080 --> 24:24.160 And for D.S., last, last regional on Space Station 1, 24:24.160 --> 24:27.680 I think a lot of people probably had him ranked third best, well, the performance. 24:27.680 --> 24:30.640 And he just flipped the script. And honestly, he flipped the script this time. 24:30.640 --> 24:32.800 You're so right, Derby. And that's the thing, 24:32.800 --> 24:38.600 why I think it makes our SFG so difficult or top teams like NRG who offensively 24:38.600 --> 24:41.740 NRG doesn't seem like they could be stopped by anyone else but Diaz his 24:41.740 --> 24:48.000 defense is so good and he's top-level ones player in North America and so he's 24:48.000 --> 24:53.280 got those mechs to go full field and and really put it to us SFG fantastic 24:53.280 --> 24:58.640 team what I want to point out here is we had a good day but we had a good day 24:58.640 --> 25:01.320 on our build brought we worked together on this yeah and you know 25:01.320 --> 25:07.560 what I did I helped with that by putting down the box and you know what I did after that I said they're gonna win against energy because I 25:07.560 --> 25:10.000 Backed them. I said they're gonna make a little bracket. I have a yeah 25:10.000 --> 25:17.040 I have what I said is I wouldn't believe it when I see it is what I said because Dazrin and me are on the same page 25:17.040 --> 25:19.040 We are we have you on fraud watch 25:19.040 --> 25:24.840 Yeah, that's fine. We're gonna remember what you say. Well, yeah, I said and I'm like I said has come true so far 25:24.840 --> 25:28.260 I'm just letting you know that we got we got some more highlights to get through right now 25:28.260 --> 25:34.060 We got the top five because it's time for a progressive top five plays. Let's keep the energy going for the best place yesterday 25:34.060 --> 25:37.140 That's let me get it. Give me quiet here on five 25:37.140 --> 25:42.220 Clonik gets his former teammates you're gonna see LJ first killer in this one because Clonik hide in the sky 25:42.220 --> 25:47.660 Give me a flip pass LJ first killer. Get a hand of your kids in the net. He couldn't even work out for a time 25:48.300 --> 25:53.780 Clonik was on fire over the course of the series like they said Jorbey and he slams it in for number five 25:53.780 --> 25:59.180 It's disgusting but at number four we got a little bit more look at reveal low booze talk 25:59.180 --> 26:06.060 We're gonna do nothing. Oh booze mustard from reveal here talk thought he was really gonna do something here reveal 26:06.060 --> 26:09.540 He taught him a lesson didn't he that is just nasty work from reveal 26:09.860 --> 26:12.980 Love it. Buster's always a great kind of man. Give me a little bit of beast mode 26:13.020 --> 26:15.540 You know, I love watching beast mode every day. Wait a second 26:17.460 --> 26:19.460 It's close 26:23.780 --> 26:25.280 You might get to see it on Sunday. 26:25.280 --> 26:26.940 These boys can do that every day of the week. 26:26.940 --> 26:28.780 It's Groundhog Day when it's at RG, 26:28.780 --> 26:31.020 but you know, I think I've seen this somewhere before. 26:31.020 --> 26:32.280 Pre-jumping at Topic. 26:32.280 --> 26:33.120 Are you kidding me, man? 26:33.120 --> 26:35.220 If it ain't Beast Mode, it's at Topic. 26:35.220 --> 26:36.700 Massimo, please, man. 26:36.700 --> 26:37.520 They got a family. 26:37.520 --> 26:38.660 They're children watching. 26:38.660 --> 26:40.160 You can't just do that. 26:40.160 --> 26:41.780 Hold on, I'll see you Saturday. 26:41.780 --> 26:44.580 Give me a full field, sloppy jumps, 26:44.580 --> 26:48.700 fly right here, right there, frosty, gain seven. 26:48.700 --> 26:50.300 You need a man to make a play, 26:50.300 --> 26:52.220 and frosty's the one who'll give it to you. 26:52.220 --> 26:58.220 1v3 eyes on me, get the bag moose, somebody, listen, do not try this at home. 26:58.220 --> 27:00.220 Only the greatest components went off. 27:00.220 --> 27:03.220 Beautiful solo effort from Frosty. 27:03.220 --> 27:07.220 You see that in 1v1, you don't see that in 3s, not even in 3s. 27:07.220 --> 27:11.220 That was crazy. Full court carry from Frosty to end it off. 27:11.220 --> 27:17.220 Good amount of plays, and again, hopefully, I'm just, I really do actually hope we get another beast mode, exact same play like that. 27:17.220 --> 27:24.460 He the ceiling is his territory. I think yeah, you know, no other player utilizes the ceiling like these mom 27:24.860 --> 27:28.980 Yeah, anyways, we got a few other regions that have been playing as well this weekend 27:28.980 --> 27:31.740 So I want to get you caught up on on those as well 27:32.580 --> 27:36.240 Specifically OC and me now let's take a look at me enough first here because there's a big 27:36.240 --> 27:38.980 Over going on here if if you guys weren't paying attention 27:39.420 --> 27:44.420 There's a team we expect to see in the grand finals and they ain't there team Falcons James 27:44.420 --> 27:49.180 fall in short of that Grand Finals there yeah we had a conversation on first 27:49.180 --> 27:54.580 touch it was me it gives dad's are enrolled in the question was is it time 27:54.580 --> 27:59.540 to hit the panic button and that was before this result and now I feel like 27:59.540 --> 28:03.420 you're breaking the glass this is incredibly alarming they're not 100 28:03.420 --> 28:07.420 percent out of it but to even be in this situation where it looks like the 28:07.420 --> 28:11.380 chance they're going to miss it but the chances are pointing to it's 28:11.380 --> 28:12.820 It's shocking. 28:12.820 --> 28:14.820 Just like, it's crazy. 28:14.820 --> 28:17.460 It's so crazy to me, because like, there are times 28:17.460 --> 28:20.020 when they look good, where it's like, OK, 28:20.020 --> 28:21.140 these are good pushes. 28:21.140 --> 28:22.100 This is Falcons. 28:22.100 --> 28:24.100 Like, Drollies is slotting in nicely. 28:24.100 --> 28:26.660 But then, all of a sudden, this energy just 28:26.660 --> 28:28.100 drops out of nowhere. 28:28.100 --> 28:31.900 And you think that there would be an opportunity 28:31.900 --> 28:34.140 to build some consistent chemistry with the twins 28:34.140 --> 28:35.220 still on the team? 28:35.220 --> 28:38.580 But something left when TRK left that team, 28:38.580 --> 28:40.300 and they have not been able to get it back. 28:40.300 --> 28:45.300 The other aspect I'll also say is it seems like the region, 28:45.500 --> 28:47.540 Mina is still rising. 28:47.540 --> 28:48.620 That's what it looks like to me. 28:48.620 --> 28:51.220 It just looks like they are continuing to improve. 28:51.220 --> 28:53.820 It has been a steady march upward. 28:53.820 --> 28:58.060 And the reality is that there's just more great players 28:58.060 --> 29:00.260 that are starting to rise up to the top, 29:00.260 --> 29:02.460 which is, I think, scary for other regions. 29:02.460 --> 29:05.180 But for Mina, I think it makes it incredibly exciting 29:05.180 --> 29:06.020 to watch. 29:06.020 --> 29:07.180 Sorry, I didn't really get there, 29:07.180 --> 29:08.580 but I do want to mention just before, 29:08.580 --> 29:13.580 We're gonna run short on time here, but I do want to mention while we have the points up quickly just some of the scenarios 29:13.580 --> 29:15.580 So now because of that what's going on here? 29:16.220 --> 29:20.140 And then I'll leave a quick word in here, but for right now 29:20.140 --> 29:23.700 They can clinch that that Paris just by finishing top six or better here 29:24.100 --> 29:27.880 And for twisted minds, they need to top second or better 29:28.540 --> 29:32.220 Second is that the top second they need a second or better? 29:34.340 --> 29:37.500 They need a second or better so get into that grand finals 29:37.500 --> 29:44.360 Or at least if they want to tie break, they got to get the top four and that's when Falcons can come in and win the whole thing 29:44.800 --> 29:54.920 Exactly. So it's basically going to be a situation where Falcons are going to want to have to take out tainted mines or twisted mines. Sorry, CJ CJ's would be proud of me 29:55.680 --> 30:00.880 Twisted mines in that semi and then have to win it all. It's it's not an impossible scenario 30:00.880 --> 30:07.080 But it's just said for the Falcons to not be in control of their own destiny 30:07.080 --> 30:12.080 They're gonna need to get lucky to have a shot which is not where we thought they would be like 30:12.080 --> 30:14.240 I know that like obviously we're gonna talk about Falcons 30:14.240 --> 30:20.080 But like I think all right do deserve a shout out because these guys have been on on the grind for a while of doula 30:20.080 --> 30:27.520 Gazi especially Gazi. I I really have enjoyed watching him and I believe I'm gonna mess this permit pronunciation up 30:27.520 --> 30:30.640 But I think it's mom it I don't I don't think that's I don't know if that's right 30:30.640 --> 30:34.200 I'm sorry if I absolutely butchered that but those three players deserve their flowers 30:34.200 --> 30:37.860 They have been on the come up for a long time. Those are three really solid players 30:37.860 --> 30:42.000 I'm excited to see more of them. I think that they're they're going to surprise some people 30:42.280 --> 30:45.700 Leif don't worry. I'm not get we don't got time for me to get into it 30:51.200 --> 30:54.480 All right, we have to jump over to OCE now because again 30:54.960 --> 30:59.520 Quite the power struggle going on over there. You look at the grand finals right now 30:59.520 --> 31:00.520 That's the big story though. 31:00.520 --> 31:03.060 That's is the Bulldogs coming out on top. 31:03.560 --> 31:03.780 Yeah. 31:03.780 --> 31:07.320 I mean, listen, we always talk about wildcard and power, but you always have 31:07.320 --> 31:10.700 to give credit to the Canterbury Bulldogs because they will show up and they 31:10.700 --> 31:14.340 will upset both of those teams starting an upper bracket round one where they 31:14.340 --> 31:18.080 sweat power and then in the finals, they took down wildcard. 31:18.260 --> 31:21.040 The wildcard, I mean, they look good up until that point. 31:21.040 --> 31:22.700 This is their series versus power. 31:22.940 --> 31:25.620 It just feels like everybody was connecting fever head. 31:25.680 --> 31:27.300 Some great goals back to back. 31:27.300 --> 31:32.000 Then when the series went to this is a game seven or something had a head really step up. It's good 31:32.000 --> 31:34.000 It's so close 31:34.140 --> 31:37.580 Well, it's standing right now. No see it is it's it's 31:38.380 --> 31:43.480 Really exciting. It's also, you know for OCE they lost the spot. You got to remember. They lost the spot 31:43.480 --> 31:45.080 So now it's more 31:45.080 --> 31:50.120 Competitive than ever and before a lot you know a lot of times it was just a two-way struggle 31:50.880 --> 31:56.060 Between power and wild card for the top and now it's pulled onto the picture. This is not just a one-hand wonder 31:56.060 --> 32:02.560 They took down power back in open 3 and now in open 5 they took down Wildcard so they've taken down both big dogs. 32:03.560 --> 32:05.560 I love seeing Kaka pop off man. 32:06.560 --> 32:10.060 You're playing real well here. He was all over the highlight reel. 32:10.060 --> 32:11.560 Wait, it's Kaka again. 32:11.560 --> 32:14.060 Keep going! I'm Kuka for Kaka! 32:14.060 --> 32:17.060 We got to it, we got to it. 32:17.060 --> 32:19.060 I thought we were about to get to the OCD on goal there but... 32:19.060 --> 32:27.060 And, you know, Akaka's had some great performances on lands and has found, like, he could find 32:27.060 --> 32:28.060 some consistency, man. 32:28.060 --> 32:29.060 I think he could be a real force. 32:29.060 --> 32:33.060 And sometimes he really shocks me with how well he plays, and that's a ridiculous goal 32:33.060 --> 32:34.060 at the end. 32:34.060 --> 32:35.060 They're my god. 32:35.060 --> 32:38.860 Also, you know, Hunter had a brief time in the limelight as well. 32:38.860 --> 32:43.340 He was that incredibly young OCE player making a land, a lot of eyes on him, wondering 32:43.340 --> 32:44.340 where you get to. 32:44.340 --> 32:49.220 And so, you know, Bulldogs, this has been a long time coming and yeah, the race is as 32:49.220 --> 32:50.700 tight as it can be. 32:50.700 --> 32:51.700 Yeah. 32:51.700 --> 32:55.540 This is, this is wild, two points separating three teams right now. 32:55.540 --> 33:01.060 That next open is going to be incredibly important considering how many spots that region has 33:01.060 --> 33:02.060 right now. 33:02.060 --> 33:03.060 Yeah. 33:03.060 --> 33:04.060 You got to get that number one spot there. 33:04.060 --> 33:06.900 So that's going to be a really good open to watch to make sure you guys tune into 33:06.900 --> 33:10.500 the XOC broadcast, but we're going to move on here and play a little game. 33:10.500 --> 33:11.860 You guys have been some good energy today. 33:11.860 --> 33:14.300 I want to see now if you can work together. 33:14.300 --> 33:16.460 to put that energy into one pot, mix it up, 33:16.460 --> 33:17.300 and we'll see what comes out. 33:17.300 --> 33:18.380 We're going to play a game. 33:18.380 --> 33:19.760 We're going to play a game called Guess the Player here. 33:19.760 --> 33:21.020 We've done this before, but we're 33:21.020 --> 33:22.900 going to do this through a bunch of logos on screen. 33:22.900 --> 33:25.020 You guys can play along to chat. 33:25.020 --> 33:27.140 And you guys aren't allowed to look at chat right now. 33:27.140 --> 33:27.900 That'll be cheating. 33:27.900 --> 33:29.780 But yeah, we're going to put the logos on screen. 33:29.780 --> 33:31.940 You're going to work together, try to guess who it is. 33:31.940 --> 33:34.460 Now, I'm not going to give you the current team, 33:34.460 --> 33:37.060 and you have 10 points on the board you can try to get. 33:37.060 --> 33:37.820 Is there a timer? 33:37.820 --> 33:38.900 One of those points. 33:38.900 --> 33:40.620 You can get that last team there. 33:40.620 --> 33:41.940 You only get one point from the guest. 33:41.940 --> 33:44.100 No timer here, but I'm going to keep you guys honest. 33:44.100 --> 33:45.820 is we got to get the kickoff soon. 33:45.820 --> 33:47.420 So let's get to our first one. 33:47.420 --> 33:48.900 Let's throw it up on the board. 33:48.900 --> 33:50.740 We got five to get through. 33:50.740 --> 33:53.660 Work together, what player had this drill? 33:53.660 --> 33:55.060 Yeah, AJ, 100%. 33:55.060 --> 33:56.260 OK, OK. 33:56.260 --> 33:58.020 Are you guys locking it in? 33:58.020 --> 33:59.020 Lock it in. 33:59.020 --> 34:00.980 Dourby was so worried about this before. 34:00.980 --> 34:03.180 And I'm like, I don't know if you need to be too worried. 34:03.180 --> 34:06.060 No, no, no, because I thought it was a different team. 34:06.060 --> 34:06.980 I thought it was a different team. 34:06.980 --> 34:07.580 You got it right. 34:07.580 --> 34:08.100 OK, OK. 34:08.100 --> 34:09.460 I got you, way, way. 34:09.460 --> 34:10.900 I got you. 34:10.900 --> 34:11.420 All righty. 34:11.420 --> 34:13.220 OK, one off the board here. 34:13.220 --> 34:18.020 Chat didn't have time to put one in did you even reveal the answer you just telling us we did it was at the bottom 34:18.020 --> 34:21.940 It was okay perfect.

Wait. 37:38.740 --> 37:41.040 Wait. K.R.N. Killers. 37:41.040 --> 37:41.740 Killers? 37:41.740 --> 37:42.740 It's got to be killers. 37:42.740 --> 37:44.240 K.R.N.

Okay, that didn't help it all 38:46.640 --> 38:48.640 You know 38:49.440 --> 38:51.440 I would say rewass 38:51.440 --> 38:56.880 What do we get a chat and do we get chats answered as well. Let's see. That's so there's so they're 38:58.480 --> 39:00.480 They're going 39:02.480 --> 39:04.480 Are we sure that's not the same picture that looks like the same 39:11.720 --> 39:13.480 Yeah chat was wow 39:14.320 --> 39:20.160 Yeah, their journeys were very similar, but there were some some points where the before the convergence 39:21.440 --> 39:23.440 Stummy move by the way 39:33.120 --> 39:37.520 Good good play though good play though. Yeah, anyways, look at at the points for today 39:38.000 --> 39:41.260 Just a reminder again the snares on the board here 39:42.040 --> 39:45.240 Yeah, I mean I believe there's two clinch spots potentially here 39:45.240 --> 39:49.500 energy and space station both could clinch through for the Paris major and 39:49.500 --> 39:53.340 potentially in worlds there for for NRG as well. They got to make grand finals in. 39:53.340 --> 39:57.820 I expect those are teams we probably would, but we'll have to find out throughout 39:57.820 --> 40:00.740 the day here. If you guys want a different perspective on the day as well 40:00.740 --> 40:05.540 you can head over to the crowd cam over on twitch.tv slash RLE Sports. This way 40:05.540 --> 40:08.780 you can get a better look at the rotations here. Maybe some of those 40:08.780 --> 40:12.020 boost skills you're not catching here. Have that on your side screen while 40:12.020 --> 40:14.580 you look at some of the closer up plays here on the mainstream for those 40:14.580 --> 40:18.180 mechanical place. Here's the points as we said points points points are going to 40:18.180 --> 40:22.220 matter as specifically in some of those regions like OCE but here it matters to 40:22.220 --> 40:26.260 some clinch potentials on the line here on Championship Sunday and a little bit 40:26.260 --> 40:30.180 of priceful as well. We also would like to show you what order we're going to 40:30.180 --> 40:33.220 play. I mean it's pretty straightforward. You know we're gonna 40:33.220 --> 40:35.460 oh with a schedule coming the second here but there's the bracket if you 40:35.460 --> 40:39.180 want to take another look at it but we are going to play through them in a 40:39.180 --> 40:43.900 pretty standard standard fashion here with our first one out going to be 40:43.900 --> 40:49.360 that Shopify Gen G matchup. I think this should be a fun one and we went 40:49.360 --> 40:54.820 Shopify yesterday on the desk and they didn't deliver it to us. And the question 40:54.820 --> 40:59.700 is, is that going to happen again today? Daz, how we feel about Shopify here on 40:59.700 --> 41:05.140 Championship Sunday? I mean, this is a Shopify. Oh, we got first killer cam. I'm feeling great 41:05.140 --> 41:10.060 about Shopify Rebellion today. I think they're gonna be locked in all the way through. 41:10.060 --> 41:12.060 We do have the K cam yesterday. 41:12.060 --> 41:13.780 Oh, he's the bro to hair on as well. 41:13.780 --> 41:15.220 Okay, he's got the curls. 41:15.220 --> 41:16.300 You know, you know me, I gotta do, 41:16.300 --> 41:18.540 I gotta do the camp analysis 41:18.540 --> 41:19.540 because that's gonna help me figure out 41:19.540 --> 41:20.940 a lot of things about what these teams are. 41:20.940 --> 41:23.700 Look at like those wires on the game. 41:23.700 --> 41:24.700 But what? 41:24.700 --> 41:25.980 Okay, it looks like it. 41:25.980 --> 41:28.340 No, it honestly looks like his headset's falling apart. 41:28.340 --> 41:32.660 Like it was coming out of where his ear pad should be. 41:32.660 --> 41:34.380 I don't know, but you know, 41:34.380 --> 41:35.660 professional background. 41:35.660 --> 41:37.900 Yeah, that's a kept together room. 41:37.900 --> 41:39.220 That's because his wife is 41:39.220 --> 41:41.260 as a career designer. 41:41.260 --> 41:43.260 That's the reason I was so good. 41:43.260 --> 41:44.460 He didn't do any of that. 41:44.460 --> 41:45.620 Blocking. 41:45.620 --> 41:47.660 Dude, that is straight man cave for all grimees. 41:47.660 --> 41:49.220 I had Alfred to lock in. 41:49.220 --> 41:50.300 I got the TV. 41:50.300 --> 41:51.620 I got the pool table. 41:51.620 --> 41:53.420 This is where we don't get the job done. 41:53.420 --> 41:56.780 So that being said, listen, talking about a gameplay 41:56.780 --> 41:59.060 wise, rebellion have not necessarily 41:59.060 --> 42:00.260 been playing at their peak. 42:00.260 --> 42:01.500 It's very obvious. 42:01.500 --> 42:05.020 But I do think that there's less to learn from yesterday 42:05.020 --> 42:06.580 and their loss against Flint. 42:06.580 --> 42:08.100 I think championships, I understand 42:08.100 --> 42:12.820 important a good run is here. So they're going to be coming in with some adjustments from yesterday. 42:12.820 --> 42:15.220 And I think you're going to see more intensity, especially for first killer. 42:15.860 --> 42:21.300 And first killer at times was the first killer that can carry a team to a victory. He was 42:22.500 --> 42:27.380 popping off. I mean, he was just doing first killer things. So I think, you know, 42:27.380 --> 42:31.620 if he's playing at that level today, it's going to be really, really tough for Genji. I don't 42:31.620 --> 42:37.300 doubt that Genji has a game plan. But the thing that was a little worrying for Genji 42:37.300 --> 42:42.500 yesterday was big mistakes and big moments overall they were playing well but they just 42:42.500 --> 42:48.500 had a few different instances where things broke down where you know you're playing a team like 42:48.500 --> 42:53.300 dignitas yeah you might be able to get away with it you're playing a team like rebellion it ain't 42:53.300 --> 42:57.940 gonna work yeah yeah well hey progressive fan votes up what are we thinking in your chat 42:57.940 --> 43:02.980 Shopify rebellion Genji mobile one racing uh you know jorby we got the cam analysis going on 43:02.980 --> 43:04.280 before a little bit some game 43:04.280 --> 43:05.280 analysis. What do you think it 43:05.280 --> 43:07.420 in this match up here. I think 43:07.420 --> 43:10.360 that Gen G need to play way 43:10.360 --> 43:11.520 better than they played 43:11.520 --> 43:12.960 yesterday. They're not going to 43:12.960 --> 43:15.000 get away with what they got away 43:15.000 --> 43:17.500 with against the toss who also 43:17.500 --> 43:18.660 didn't really play well in that 43:18.660 --> 43:19.860 series. You're not going to get 43:19.860 --> 43:21.560 that from rebellion here. And 43:21.560 --> 43:24.140 so it has to be solid in the 43:24.140 --> 43:25.800 rotation. Scrim bears got to be 43:25.800 --> 43:27.840 here still. OK. He can't he 43:27.840 --> 43:28.980 can't fall back down to that 43:28.980 --> 43:30.580 under 50% goal participation 43:30.580 --> 43:31.580 that he's been a magic bear 43:31.580 --> 43:37.420 has to be active. He's got to be active often early for this team for Gen G. If they have 43:37.420 --> 43:41.820 any hope of beating Rebellion. I personally think that Gen G are in for a wall to hurt 43:41.820 --> 43:45.860 here. Okay. Shopfire Rebellion on the board for him here. James, how you feel? Yeah, I'm 43:45.860 --> 43:49.500 going to have to go Rebellion on this one as well. I think very talented team Gen 43:49.500 --> 43:54.580 G just made a little too many mistakes yesterday. I think if they play well, if they play 43:54.580 --> 43:58.180 like they did yesterday without those big mistakes, they can squeeze out a win, 43:58.180 --> 44:02.140 it would be a game seven, but I think that Shopify rebellion are just gonna be 44:02.140 --> 44:09.380 playing too well today. Yeah, I'm going to rebellion here. I think for Jiji, it's 44:09.380 --> 44:14.620 an uphill battle. I think that if they play the game just like James, everyone 44:14.620 --> 44:18.620 knows Jiji played really good yesterday, but it's not gonna be good enough 44:18.620 --> 44:22.020 because they want the distance against dignitas. They clean up what they were 44:22.020 --> 44:25.300 on defense. The series looks a lot better. It's a lot closer, but you 44:25.300 --> 44:28.240 We have to give the edge to rebellion here on this one. 44:28.240 --> 44:29.780 We're gonna do it again, aren't we? 44:29.780 --> 44:30.900 We might curse them up again, 44:30.900 --> 44:32.780 cause I'm going to shop a Fire Rebellion. 44:32.780 --> 44:34.100 Rebellion lose to Jenji. 44:34.100 --> 44:35.580 That's on them, not on them. 44:35.580 --> 44:36.820 Okay, that's all I'm saying. 44:36.820 --> 44:38.260 Sorry CJ, if we do it again. 44:38.260 --> 44:40.220 But hey, you're right, Jorbey. 44:40.220 --> 44:42.180 I mean, realistically, there's a reason 44:42.180 --> 44:43.020 we all did it yesterday, 44:43.020 --> 44:44.500 reason we're doing it today. 44:44.500 --> 44:46.940 Foot is a team that, yeah, you definitely gotta back. 44:46.940 --> 44:47.780 We just needed to see it. 44:47.780 --> 44:49.100 But here, realistically, 44:49.100 --> 44:50.580 I think anyone should be believing 44:50.580 --> 44:51.780 the shop a Fire Rebellion 44:51.780 --> 44:53.540 will have this match up over Jenji Mobile. 44:53.540 --> 44:58.300 But what would chat what was chat pinkie there I want to see there's before we're getting a game here because 44:58.940 --> 45:05.600 Yeah, they're we're all right. We're so yeah, that's realistic. Yeah, I mean yeah, if you're looking at Gen G 45:05.620 --> 45:10.680 Jorby, I mean like what's what's the game plan today because obviously you're going up against a bit of a little here 45:10.680 --> 45:17.980 Play good defense play good consistent defense comms have to be on lock like it comes a defense for me 45:17.980 --> 45:18.300 That's it 45:18.300 --> 45:24.860 I know that they can do good things on offense, but like if you're not able to handle the counterattack like rebellion's offense is 45:25.220 --> 45:31.740 His lights out. It's gonna be so hard. So like for me, it's just about synergy and keeping your comms on lock on defense 45:32.460 --> 45:34.460 also one last thing I 45:34.580 --> 45:40.380 Is watch out for rise if he is connecting on his bumps and playing a successful disruptor play style 45:40.380 --> 45:42.860 That might be the difference, but he's gonna have to connect 45:43.220 --> 45:47.860 Well, we're gonna find out now if we've just done it again and cursed Shopify or done because the match 45:48.300 --> 45:53.140 is ready. A best of seven here on Championship Sunday as all the remaining teams are looking 45:53.140 --> 45:58.920 for that crown. We have a few stories of clinching happening for some other teams right now.

Like 46:49.740 --> 46:54.220 you said, Gen G going to game seven yesterday against Dignitas, Shopify 46:54.220 --> 46:57.700 rebellion, the most shaky they've looked in quite some time and the first 46:57.700 --> 47:02.740 response coming through. It's frosty frosty has had some highlight real 47:02.740 --> 47:06.020 plays, but you gotta be looking at LJ brings it down and he just got 47:06.020 --> 47:09.060 muscle, perfect landing for Frosty as well. 47:09.060 --> 47:11.760 That is an excellent play for Frosty to come down, 47:11.760 --> 47:14.020 get the perfect 50 to control the ball. 47:14.020 --> 47:17.100 He's still gotta land quickly and get that shot 47:17.100 --> 47:18.660 as Kofor's coming across. 47:18.660 --> 47:21.200 Great work from Frosty when LJ thought he had space 47:21.200 --> 47:22.600 to do something on the ground. 47:22.600 --> 47:24.140 Now LJ's getting deleted. 47:24.140 --> 47:27.580 Frosty takes it high, dropped down, rise to the side. 47:27.580 --> 47:29.300 Rebellion get a chance to recover. 47:29.300 --> 47:30.880 Rebellion under some immense pressure 47:30.880 --> 47:32.220 off the last two kickoffs. 47:32.220 --> 47:38.120 I like this move Frosty going very, very far back, a lot of this is going to be a respect 47:38.120 --> 47:43.320 almost over LJ's head, you thought maybe there was a chance but no, Ryze catches it, pass 47:43.320 --> 47:48.720 off over to Magic Bear, gold mine, you've got what Magic Bear still carrying in the 47:48.720 --> 47:49.720 dream from yesterday. 47:49.720 --> 47:53.360 Well Genji are bringing it right now and it's Ryze to set it up, put it off the 47:53.360 --> 47:57.320 ceiling, first killer waiting to see what Ryze does with that ball and then Ryze 47:57.320 --> 48:01.960 drops out, lets the pass come through for Magic Bear and first killer is all 48:01.960 --> 48:05.880 All of a sudden, all, all just twisted up. 48:05.880 --> 48:08.200 There was nothing he could do about it. 48:08.200 --> 48:12.080 And Gen G, coming out with the first few punches 48:12.080 --> 48:15.160 after LJ had a great reset pass. 48:15.160 --> 48:17.640 Frosty hands him, the game time going, 48:17.640 --> 48:18.800 and then they get right back. 48:18.800 --> 48:20.600 Thanks to Ryze on the forefront. 48:20.600 --> 48:23.680 Someone James wanted to see step up here for Gen G. 48:23.680 --> 48:27.120 Yeah, this is definitely a big moment here for Ryze. 48:27.120 --> 48:30.320 Been a little on and off as far as his team was concerned, 48:30.320 --> 48:31.560 like we saw yesterday. 48:31.560 --> 48:33.960 But off the backboard, LJ took a shot. 48:33.960 --> 48:35.920 It was too long goal line to keep it out. 48:35.920 --> 48:38.920 Frosty did manage to recover and keep this ball 48:38.920 --> 48:40.760 away from the net for now. 48:40.760 --> 48:42.880 This 150 is again off the backboard. 48:42.880 --> 48:45.000 You see first killer going for the commit. 48:45.000 --> 48:47.640 And even on low boost, this team is still taking punches 48:47.640 --> 48:48.480 towards the net. 48:48.480 --> 48:50.280 Frosty tried to make a catch here. 48:50.280 --> 48:53.280 It's a lot of this fast pace back and forth play. 48:53.280 --> 48:55.000 Punches is gonna be, like you said, 48:55.000 --> 48:57.040 the best way to describe what we're gonna see, 48:57.040 --> 48:58.800 just because both of these teams 48:58.800 --> 49:02.800 really want to be the first ones to make that statement leading into the series. 49:04.640 --> 49:11.360 Rebellion yesterday against foot, while they didn't let them shoot the ball a ton on the averaging 49:11.360 --> 49:17.840 about eight shots a game in that series, their same percentage was almost under 50 percent 49:17.840 --> 49:22.480 in defense they were. Definitely having some struggles just in big moments also on 49:22.480 --> 49:27.480 I mean, some of the moves you're seeing here kind of repeat itself against Gen.G. 49:27.480 --> 49:29.480 The rebellion has stabilized. 49:29.480 --> 49:31.480 They've had the ball here for a bit. 49:31.480 --> 49:33.480 Boost has not been the easiest thing to grab. 49:33.480 --> 49:36.480 Everyone was on zero, and LJ's full corner. 49:36.480 --> 49:40.480 As a result, he had to dive back into that play. 49:40.480 --> 49:43.480 Gen.G get right back on offense. 49:43.480 --> 49:45.480 Frosty was playing soft as second man. 49:45.480 --> 49:47.480 Couldn't go for that touch from Magic Bear. 49:47.480 --> 49:50.480 LJ faints the approach. Let's go for take it. 49:52.480 --> 49:55.120 Gen.G back on defense, Koper drops it for first killer, 49:55.120 --> 49:57.920 but Ryze cuts in and bumps first killer out of the way. 49:57.920 --> 50:00.760 And Gen.G's defense holding firm right now. 50:01.760 --> 50:03.840 Yeah, and that's definitely what you're gonna have to be doing, 50:03.840 --> 50:05.800 especially against a team like Rebellion, 50:05.800 --> 50:07.880 because you know if Rebellion is on it, 50:07.880 --> 50:09.760 it's gonna be a high shooting game. 50:09.760 --> 50:12.600 They will just throw shot after shot first killer, 50:12.600 --> 50:14.120 tried to waterfall it down 50:14.120 --> 50:15.360 to just even give another attempt. 50:15.360 --> 50:17.360 Elgin over to first killer, it's awkward. 50:17.360 --> 50:20.720 It's sent back on the other end of the field. 50:20.720 --> 50:23.660 for them. With this two minute mark and a one goal lead, 50:23.660 --> 50:26.360 Gemgy's still holding on strong like you said, 50:26.360 --> 50:29.520 that defense is really setting them apart for now. 50:31.360 --> 50:33.420 Oh, Magic Bear right there to stop First Killer 50:33.420 --> 50:35.060 taking it off the wall, Kofur. 50:36.840 --> 50:38.000 Trying to give it back to First Killer, 50:38.000 --> 50:40.560 but as you saw that first touch was not what he wanted 50:40.560 --> 50:43.680 and had to just buy time, waste all of his booze. 50:43.680 --> 50:45.760 H.J. is back in his own corner, 50:45.760 --> 50:47.200 doesn't get the bounce he wants. 50:47.200 --> 50:49.760 Reyes couldn't handle the ball either. 50:49.760 --> 50:51.920 was getting a mis-touch out of LJ. 50:55.300 --> 50:57.420 Locker on offense for Rebellion, 50:57.420 --> 50:59.540 first to remain dash in front. 50:59.540 --> 51:01.860 LJ on the wing for Kofur. 51:01.860 --> 51:05.700 Kofur gets the bump to open it up and somehow, 51:05.700 --> 51:09.100 LJ forces this through, it bumps off of Kofur's car. 51:09.100 --> 51:11.140 There were two defenders in net for Gen G, 51:11.140 --> 51:13.180 Frosty just couldn't get there. 51:13.180 --> 51:15.340 Now it's a big bump like you said, 51:15.340 --> 51:17.300 for Kofur that gives them, 51:17.300 --> 51:19.540 even the shot opportunity at that point, 51:19.540 --> 51:21.780 is like this is super so long. 51:21.780 --> 51:25.380 Genji's defense is pretty much rock solid. 51:25.380 --> 51:28.180 So they're having to now get a little bit more creative 51:28.180 --> 51:29.660 like we saw to be able to get on through 51:29.660 --> 51:31.460 and it's working out. 51:31.460 --> 51:33.420 I mean, the fact that it had to bounce off 51:33.420 --> 51:34.860 of Kofa's car to go in. 51:34.860 --> 51:37.180 LJ's touch was gonna be wide off the post. 51:37.180 --> 51:40.180 Kofa's still falling, it bounces off of his wheel. 51:40.180 --> 51:42.340 But even here, he even gave him a reset there 51:42.340 --> 51:45.060 on the replay of, I wasn't mistaken. 51:45.060 --> 51:46.740 That's a terrible shot from Magic Bear 51:46.740 --> 51:49.940 I'm not going to get much done for all C. 51:49.940 --> 51:54.620 I guess that that's a little aggressive language that's I feel like it's a thing to say. 51:54.620 --> 51:57.700 But after after the performance we saw from magic fair yesterday, 51:57.700 --> 52:05.060 it is fair to say a slow shot on center is very subpar for the bar that he set for himself. 52:05.060 --> 52:07.700 That's the better professional way to say. 52:11.860 --> 52:14.820 Always appreciate that's why they sent two of us rise gets the ball. 52:14.820 --> 52:17.260 The Frosty ran out of booze, couldn't adjust. 52:18.260 --> 52:20.500 And Rebellion get to survive for a little bit longer. 52:21.740 --> 52:24.840 Chance to take the lead, pot shot from Kofa. 52:24.840 --> 52:26.240 Rise to lead it on the goal line. 52:26.240 --> 52:27.960 First killer bounces away from him. 52:27.960 --> 52:29.840 LJ blows through one defender, 52:29.840 --> 52:31.680 only one back it's rise with no boost 52:31.680 --> 52:32.880 and he ain't getting there. 52:32.880 --> 52:35.780 Rebellion ripped this lead away from Gen.G. 52:35.780 --> 52:37.320 This is what we were saying. 52:37.320 --> 52:39.880 The fact that you do have to demo Gen.G 52:39.880 --> 52:41.380 out of their defensive line, 52:41.380 --> 52:43.220 their defensive setup even, 52:43.220 --> 52:51.240 Just so you can have the opportunity to score and Revelling to figure that out so props to them. That's a huge demo big lead with 11 go 52:53.120 --> 52:55.120 Genji had this 52:55.340 --> 52:58.660 They were doing great on defense and that's just in their net and 52:59.540 --> 53:03.860 Rebellion score in bunches here in the final 30 seconds as LJ 53:04.360 --> 53:10.280 Just beats magic bear to the ball or he just beats magic bear on the 50 magic bear can't get back to it easy clear out 53:10.280 --> 53:12.280 Demo make sure that nobody can get the save 53:13.220 --> 53:16.620 And wow, the wheels fell off the wagon here quickly for Gen G. 53:16.620 --> 53:19.420 Yep, and it's all due in fact to those demos of rebellion. 53:19.420 --> 53:21.300 I figured out that small weak point 53:21.300 --> 53:22.900 that if you're messing with the rotations, 53:22.900 --> 53:25.580 even one for the road is not gonna be enough here. 53:25.580 --> 53:28.220 They have discovered something that forces Gen G 53:28.220 --> 53:31.020 to be way too awkward to win against them. 53:31.980 --> 53:33.580 Yeah, good job throwing the rebellion. 53:33.580 --> 53:35.420 Even when they were down two ones, 53:35.420 --> 53:37.780 they were holding the ball 53:37.780 --> 53:39.540 even though they weren't exactly controlling 53:39.540 --> 53:40.380 all the boos. 53:40.380 --> 53:41.380 They had to retreat a lot. 53:41.380 --> 53:43.700 They were really good at ripping the ball away. 53:43.700 --> 53:45.540 Wow, Genji had that 2-1 lead. 53:45.540 --> 53:48.220 And obviously, the LJ and Kofor linking up 53:48.220 --> 53:51.380 is becoming more and more of a duo on this offense. 53:51.380 --> 53:55.060 Those two together, they had that banger infield pass. 53:55.060 --> 53:56.460 You remember, on Friday, they even 53:56.460 --> 54:00.020 had a couple of given goals between themselves yesterday. 54:00.020 --> 54:01.900 Really like how LJ and Kofor are 54:01.900 --> 54:03.180 locking in on this team. 54:03.180 --> 54:05.820 LJ getting top honors. 54:05.820 --> 54:08.220 I would say him and Kofor both getting 54:08.220 --> 54:10.220 the job done for Rebellion. 54:10.220 --> 54:11.420 Oh, for sure. 54:11.420 --> 54:13.380 They look really solid together on this one. 54:13.380 --> 54:15.740 A couple, like you said, they're passing plays. 54:15.740 --> 54:18.660 The three assists from LJ alone are really going to be 54:18.660 --> 54:20.460 setting rebellion up for success. 54:20.460 --> 54:22.420 And then on the flip side of things, 54:22.420 --> 54:26.660 despite a pretty decent, I would say shot, 54:26.660 --> 54:30.500 you know, shots put up on net Genji 9 across the board, 54:30.500 --> 54:32.220 fairly equal to each other. 54:33.420 --> 54:34.260 I don't know. 54:34.260 --> 54:36.020 It just, it felt like there was something missing, 54:36.020 --> 54:37.780 especially in comparison to what we got 54:37.780 --> 54:39.620 from them yesterday. 54:39.620 --> 54:42.100 They had some good looks, especially off the kickoff. 54:42.100 --> 54:44.620 Frosty had scored that first goal for them, 54:44.620 --> 54:45.420 off the kickoff. 54:45.420 --> 54:48.260 The second goal came right off the kickoff as well. 54:48.260 --> 54:51.140 So if Rebellion get past that point, 54:51.140 --> 54:53.780 Gen. G have to find a way to get creative on offense. 54:53.780 --> 54:55.060 And actually, well, get the ball. 54:55.060 --> 54:57.700 But I mean, let's think about the stakes 54:57.700 --> 55:00.060 here for both of these teams. 55:00.060 --> 55:03.940 No doubt, Vertus Pro are watching on and really hoping 55:03.940 --> 55:08.620 that Rebellion don't end up getting past Gen. G here. 55:08.620 --> 55:10.460 Gen. G on the outside looking in. 55:10.460 --> 55:12.860 They got a lot of work to do beyond this point, 55:12.860 --> 55:15.640 but Rebellion currently at 14 points, 55:16.700 --> 55:18.420 and then they wouldn't have any more afterwards. 55:18.420 --> 55:21.140 Gen. G would get a little bit closer with a win here. 55:21.140 --> 55:24.460 They get two more points to get closer to Rebellion. 55:24.460 --> 55:27.900 Revertis Pro, who's also gonna be playing NRG 55:27.900 --> 55:29.900 shortly after this match. 55:29.900 --> 55:32.660 If Rebellion goes out, that makes their chances 55:32.660 --> 55:35.380 a little bit easier after they didn't even get 55:35.380 --> 55:38.260 into the top eight in the first open. 55:38.260 --> 55:42.300 So a lot on the line here, but kind of hinge on rebellion 55:42.300 --> 55:45.780 losing the game if you're a Gen G or a Hurtus profile. 55:45.780 --> 55:47.780 And if you are a Gen G fan, you're 55:47.780 --> 55:49.980 hoping for that same level of performance 55:49.980 --> 55:53.620 that we got out of them yesterday, especially 55:53.620 --> 55:55.380 in particular from Magic Bear, who 55:55.380 --> 55:58.500 seems to be a little bit more quiet on this one. 55:58.500 --> 56:00.460 Right now, it's been pretty much rebellion 56:00.460 --> 56:01.460 taking their turn with it. 56:01.460 --> 56:02.780 Finally, Gen G out. 56:02.780 --> 56:05.060 Magic Bear very low boost, so it's an easy challenge 56:05.060 --> 56:07.340 there for FK and LJ to clear on out. 56:08.260 --> 56:10.500 Oh, Ryce just missed the ball. 56:10.500 --> 56:13.900 And that's just him looking on Ryce Cam. 56:13.900 --> 56:16.940 Coming up, thinking he might play a 50 with Frosty, 56:16.940 --> 56:18.940 and it's just a perfect pass out. 56:18.940 --> 56:22.940 And, all right, Ryce gets that 9.99 times out of 10. 56:22.940 --> 56:24.940 I'm actually shocked he missed that ball. 56:24.940 --> 56:27.440 That was absolutely saveable. 56:27.440 --> 56:30.940 And that's when you just can't kill that one, go in. 56:30.940 --> 56:33.940 No, those are those moments where you can tell 56:33.940 --> 56:36.940 that Ryce might be in his head just a tiny bit there. 56:36.940 --> 56:42.940 Granted, he is one of the top you should, in theory, be able to shake that off faster than most. 56:42.940 --> 56:49.420 And he had a great play last game as well with that touch off the ceiling with the fake, and oh my goodness, 56:49.420 --> 56:56.140 First Killer just put it in himself, and the offense continues for Rebellion, grabs the reset, gets 56:56.140 --> 57:00.940 hop on it as well, and a fifth. That's First Killer things. And there ain't no other rods 57:00.940 --> 57:06.300 we're going to do on that. Frosty got dunked. Good luck and good night to you. Two nothing 57:06.300 --> 57:12.100 It's just even when you said it best as a first killer doing first killer things the crazy part is it 57:12.100 --> 57:15.920 Oh, it feels slow. It just feels so natural and easy at this point Genji 57:16.820 --> 57:20.540 Oddly feeling so absent from this series right now 57:21.420 --> 57:27.020 LG another shot just a little bit high off the mark there, but still the less they return it on 57:28.820 --> 57:33.380 What is this series? Yo first killer's going for both teams, but look at this shot 57:33.380 --> 57:36.380 That's a banger, bro! 57:36.380 --> 57:40.380 You couldn't do that twice if you were a first killer. 57:40.380 --> 57:42.380 Actually, I'm not going to say that. 57:42.380 --> 57:46.380 He might do it on the correct met maybe next time. 57:46.380 --> 57:53.380 So two own goals, really one-width, and a beautiful own goal from each team. 57:53.380 --> 57:55.380 So now you can say they're even. 57:55.380 --> 57:56.380 There you go. 57:56.380 --> 58:02.380 Yeah, everybody can laugh off what they did as a mistake on their end. 58:02.380 --> 58:08.380 Magic Bear going down field trying to get LJ out of the way. 58:08.380 --> 58:10.380 And he did the job well enough. 58:10.380 --> 58:12.380 LJ in the uncomfortable spot. 58:12.380 --> 58:14.380 But look at Magic Bear chasing it down. 58:14.380 --> 58:16.380 And LJ's got to respect it. 58:16.380 --> 58:17.380 He wanted to boost. 58:17.380 --> 58:20.380 Magic Bear makes sure that he can't cut and challenge Frosty early. 58:20.380 --> 58:23.380 We saw Frosty, he didn't have a lot of boost. 58:23.380 --> 58:26.380 So if LJ was able to get any kind of forward momentum on the ball, 58:26.380 --> 58:28.380 it was going to be hard for him to win the 50s. 58:28.380 --> 58:31.940 In fact, he got put sideways by Magic Bear, 58:31.940 --> 58:34.740 made winning that 50 in front of the net all that much harder. 58:34.740 --> 58:39.220 Great job chasing LJ out of that play. 58:39.220 --> 58:42.980 It's another attack here from Shabba Firebellion, 58:42.980 --> 58:44.580 where I was trying to do his play, 58:44.580 --> 58:47.500 getting his ball cleared out, crossing just enough 58:47.500 --> 58:50.140 only to be immediately returned by first. 58:50.140 --> 58:53.140 The power he's had on some of these touches 58:53.140 --> 58:56.340 is absolutely insane. 58:56.340 --> 58:59.020 Halfway point for the tight game is gonna get sent off 59:00.660 --> 59:02.260 Look at Kofa 59:02.260 --> 59:05.660 In the corner just perfect dodge end of eyes 59:05.660 --> 59:11.940 He's recovering off of that and then just drives up the wall a little dash up in a 59:12.620 --> 59:16.660 Little salt in front of a net that is beautiful work from Kofa 59:18.180 --> 59:20.900 Off the kickoff we'll see what we get here Kofa 59:20.900 --> 59:24.500 We're for that back boost, round one, ready for these challenges. 59:24.500 --> 59:28.180 They timed them so well against Gen G, under two now. 59:28.180 --> 59:34.420 Madge Bear, he's sending back those first 1v1, gets his shot, LJ, calm and patient. 59:34.420 --> 59:40.220 It's kind of just been shot by our bellion right now, just letting Gen G take their 59:40.220 --> 59:43.780 shots, play their game, pretty much just wear themselves out at this point. 59:43.780 --> 59:50.580 Gen G not having fun trying to work this ball out of their corner, rise, trying 59:50.580 --> 59:56.740 for the buff. Kofur somehow, okay, on Kofur cam, Rizalight fades through Kofur's camera 59:56.740 --> 01:00:02.340 and he somehow just ripped that ball up. Honestly, it was real trippy to look at. And Kofur, 01:00:02.340 --> 01:00:07.860 still going. Okay, it's crazy with Zero Boost to go for the reset there. I know you're playing 01:00:07.860 --> 01:00:11.860 well, but that's a little crazy. Frosty's got this one, drop down back to Magic Bear. 01:00:11.860 --> 01:00:17.380 First Killer got the boost, wins the touch, clean, rebellion, run in, rush on Gen G right 01:00:17.380 --> 01:00:19.620 right now if you just got to hit the net though. 01:00:19.620 --> 01:00:22.420 I really thought first kill was going to give you the shot you wanted back. 01:00:22.420 --> 01:00:27.300 They tried it again at Magic Fair and just able to send it, keep it with him, pass off 01:00:27.300 --> 01:00:32.300 over to Ryze here and Gen G despite having this ball don't necessarily keep the possession. 01:00:32.300 --> 01:00:37.700 You see one cheating up from Shopify almost gave him a shot opportunity there. 01:00:37.700 --> 01:00:42.740 Man I just love how rebellion look on him, you can see this nearly as often from rebellion 01:00:42.740 --> 01:00:48.980 Last split where like the second man was never anywhere to be found on offense now. Look at how they are 01:00:48.980 --> 01:00:52.060 We're just here on offense right now to get the demo magic barrel sink that one 01:00:52.060 --> 01:00:58.220 I'll talk about a billy's offense again when I actually get there. This is a great play from Genji everybody starved 01:00:58.740 --> 01:01:04.140 On rebellion you get the demo to make sure no one can get there magic bear with an excellent touch to keep it lofted 01:01:04.260 --> 01:01:06.420 We've got a tight game Genji's they ain't a lot 01:01:07.900 --> 01:01:11.660 We'll see what we get from this final minute of play six goals though 01:01:12.740 --> 01:01:18.560 Really big shooter between the two usually you do feel like it's a little bit more patient at least as far as from Gen G 01:01:18.560 --> 01:01:24.020 But they're habitably catch up behind rebellion despite them being tied. Here comes Cofor 01:01:24.900 --> 01:01:28.600 Reset forward hands off over to Frosty first killer gonna try and take it back 01:01:29.580 --> 01:01:31.820 Juicy first touch good challenge from Ryze 01:01:33.860 --> 01:01:37.260 Go for right behind LJ no boost for first killer in the corner 01:01:37.900 --> 01:01:39.900 I'll take it from the bump 01:01:39.900 --> 01:01:42.800 Brice scoops the ball out though first killer the only one back 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:50.880 We'll keep it up and away for LJ Kofa down field frosty barely any boost just gets to the 50 first killer 01:01:51.120 --> 01:01:59.000 The high touch Genji are ready for every touch the rebellion gets in frosty chasing and LJ will avoid him and actually demo rise 01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:01.840 first killer 01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:07.440 Moving frosty bumps him out of the way, but just back to the ball first killer makes it work to go for 01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:14.440 And first killer you can beat him, you can bump him, but he's still got to find a way to distance pass. 01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:20.440 This team is so frustrating for Gen.G too because they have to rise so far back. 01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:27.440 They tried to put Frosty in a position to make the save and just first killer coming from the angle that he was. 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:33.440 There was no stopping and they demoed them off the kickoff. They tried to go for the fake and they still get the win. 01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:36.740 Well, maybe they got to get the ball on the ground. 01:02:36.740 --> 01:02:37.440 There it is. 01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:39.040 Rebellion. 01:02:39.040 --> 01:02:40.340 Take it. 01:02:40.340 --> 01:02:43.680 The game, yet again, up to nothing. 01:02:43.680 --> 01:02:45.280 First killer taking a sip of water, 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:47.280 stay hydrated out there, chat. 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:51.600 First killer, absolutely hydrated right now. 01:02:51.600 --> 01:02:54.120 At the start of the game, you'd say it was all first killer. 01:02:54.120 --> 01:02:55.760 And you get a great job closing things out. 01:02:55.760 --> 01:02:56.920 In the middle there. 01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:58.400 He's on the bottom of the scoreboard. 01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:00.040 But let's put some flowers on. 01:03:00.040 --> 01:03:01.840 Kofi, Lee. 01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:04.560 His passes, he was dinking, he was dunking. 01:03:04.560 --> 01:03:06.080 He was doing some great work out there 01:03:06.080 --> 01:03:07.760 in the middle of the series. 01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.240 Really liked how Kofir was looking for short. 01:03:10.240 --> 01:03:11.520 First killer doing first killer things. 01:03:11.520 --> 01:03:14.120 You just expected Ryze missing that ball. 01:03:14.120 --> 01:03:16.720 First killer, got a little, a little cheeky smile there 01:03:16.720 --> 01:03:17.920 on that one. 01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.160 And that was a stellar own goal as well. 01:03:20.160 --> 01:03:22.720 Definitely own goal of the weekend first killer. 01:03:22.720 --> 01:03:26.120 Every action now, he's not as happy about that one. 01:03:28.560 --> 01:03:30.440 I just, my goodness. 01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:37.160 I will say, there is one question that does need to get talked about a little bit, and 01:03:37.160 --> 01:03:41.760 is this a matter of Shopify rebellion playing at their best? 01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:47.360 Because I will say, they have been a little up and down, or is Gen.G not doing as well 01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:48.360 as they did yesterday? 01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:52.240 If Gen.G had been playing like they did yesterday, would this be a different story? 01:03:52.240 --> 01:03:54.640 I think they would probably be getting smashed a little bit more. 01:03:54.640 --> 01:03:56.920 I actually think Gen.G are playing pretty decent. 01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:00.240 I just think rebellion's offense is so good. 01:04:00.240 --> 01:04:06.240 Like Koford, think about how he played on that corner pass, but also in the midfield 01:04:06.240 --> 01:04:07.240 as well. 01:04:07.240 --> 01:04:11.600 Frosty, well it was a Frosty arise who got the bump on first killer, bumped him back 01:04:11.600 --> 01:04:13.000 up to the ball. 01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:19.680 First killer gets his flip back anyway and just throws out a beautiful pass over to 01:04:19.680 --> 01:04:20.680 either Koford or LJ. 01:04:20.680 --> 01:04:25.880 I can't remember who shot that ball, but like, I just remember Rebellion's offense. 01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:28.800 It'd be one guy on the offensive half of the field. 01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:33.500 A second and third man are like split beyond the midfield line like they're not even up there 01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:36.980 And so like follow-ups were so slow if they were even there at all 01:04:37.140 --> 01:04:39.980 That's not the case at all with rebellions offense anymore 01:04:39.980 --> 01:04:45.620 They were doing a great job kind of sticking close to second man quicker follow-ups 01:04:46.060 --> 01:04:48.900 Changing things up against Gen G as well on offense 01:04:48.900 --> 01:04:54.380 I thought Gen G actually did pretty decently on defense with the different looks that rebellion gave them 01:04:54.380 --> 01:04:57.940 I do think Gen G are playing better than they did yesterday. I just think rebellion 01:04:57.940 --> 01:05:00.180 You think they're playing better than yesterday? 01:05:01.180 --> 01:05:03.180 Herculean, did you watch Gen G vs. Dignity? 01:05:03.180 --> 01:05:07.840 I did, but are you watching Rise right now? I feel like this is a very... 01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:09.680 I watched Rise with at the start of the... 01:05:09.680 --> 01:05:15.840 You can watch Rise with me and we should be able to say that Rise is playing way more inconsistently than he was yesterday. 01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:19.440 Okay, that's... I mean, besides that with though... 01:05:21.740 --> 01:05:23.240 What else have you thought about it? 01:05:23.240 --> 01:05:24.920 I don't think it's just the whip. 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:27.500 A couple of the decisions I've been seeing him make 01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:29.120 on the back line. 01:05:29.120 --> 01:05:30.440 Jason Point. 01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:31.560 That doesn't really matter. 01:05:31.560 --> 01:05:33.840 It doesn't really matter what first killer's behind the ball. 01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:38.000 Let's see, LJ, first of all, what heck of a touch from LJ. 01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:39.920 Magic Bear was not thinking he was going 01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:40.920 to get that kind of power. 01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:42.840 There's nothing Rice could do about that. 01:05:42.840 --> 01:05:46.400 After Magic Bear's beaten the midfield, 01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:49.040 Rice's name was written in the death note. 01:05:49.040 --> 01:05:50.480 There was nothing he could do. 01:05:53.240 --> 01:05:57.840 Well, see if anybody has light on the other end of the field, otherwise it's just going 01:05:57.840 --> 01:06:00.280 to stay the same way it's been shot through our belly. 01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.520 One game away from match point here. 01:06:02.520 --> 01:06:06.920 Another shot floater on net, magic barrier to keep on out. 01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:12.120 First killer, definitely still the one to beat if you are Gen.G. 01:06:12.120 --> 01:06:19.000 You've had some good looks from Frosty, remember Frosty at the, or near the start 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:20.000 of the last game. 01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:25.600 that great dunk can pop against LJ to get to the first ball for Gen G. 01:06:25.600 --> 01:06:28.800 There have been some good things here for Gen G on offense. 01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:32.720 First killer being demoed by Magic Bear, but it's another great 50 from Ryze. 01:06:32.720 --> 01:06:34.480 And LJ gets dunked! 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.000 Frosty! 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:40.080 As Frosty versus LJ on the blue, Frosty finds ways to win these a couple of times, 01:06:40.080 --> 01:06:42.160 but a great follow up there from Ryze. 01:06:42.160 --> 01:06:43.360 LJ coming across. 01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:46.080 I mean, good luck trying to get that one past Frosty. 01:06:46.080 --> 01:06:48.480 I hid that off to Frosty on that one too, 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:50.960 because he knew he was gonna try and pinch it off the post, 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:53.800 he just bounced it out and he timed himself 01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:55.360 and read it perfectly. 01:06:55.360 --> 01:06:57.120 When Brandon was close enough that it was gonna be easy, 01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:00.000 but yeah, a little bit close here, I'll kick off. 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:01.760 We'll see what we get here from Gen G, 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:04.120 another attempt from Magic Bear. 01:07:05.040 --> 01:07:07.480 Everybody playing a little bit spaced out though. 01:07:09.120 --> 01:07:10.920 Rise the whole way back on the wall 01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:13.120 to defend off of Magic Bear's 50. 01:07:14.520 --> 01:07:17.680 And hope, yep, Frosty will go. 01:07:17.680 --> 01:07:24.320 little things like that. I'm just not used to seeing from Ryze. We'll get back in time for this one. Frosty 01:07:24.320 --> 01:07:31.280 can't go seeing first killer there. First killer never quitting on the ball. Kofur knows that's not 01:07:31.280 --> 01:07:35.360 the ball you go for instead of actually ripping away from Magic Bear. Good landing. Who's around 01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:42.640 Ryze? Kofur turning almost. Cold into gold there. And first killer shot denied by Ryze. Good save, 01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:46.080 pop up no rebound to play with silk over we'll send it right back 01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:51.600 and I follow up again Gen G they get that first touch up into space 01:07:51.600 --> 01:07:56.240 and it's just taken them so long to get back to the ball allowing rebellions to get back in the 01:07:56.240 --> 01:08:01.520 position to hold possession LJ's just down field planted magic bear we'll take this one 01:08:02.640 --> 01:08:08.560 the Gen G still playing defense despite some of the clears first killer already up against Ryze 01:08:08.560 --> 01:08:12.600 50 back down, LJ patient, waiting for Ryze's next touch. 01:08:12.600 --> 01:08:14.840 First killer keeps it down, Frosty with no boost. 01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:19.320 Kofa right behind to defend against Magic Bear. 01:08:19.320 --> 01:08:21.440 And Gen.G are under some duress right now. 01:08:21.440 --> 01:08:23.200 They were getting to the 50s. 01:08:23.200 --> 01:08:25.600 Magic Bear protects his own boost. 01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:27.960 No play as first killer will come back down with it. 01:08:27.960 --> 01:08:28.960 Doesn't get the touch he wants. 01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:30.880 Finally, Gen.G will break out. 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:34.000 And this is a very important breakout, too. 01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:36.520 It's been so long that they've been boxed in there, 01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:38.000 happening, almost gets sent back. 01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:40.840 They leave it to MagiVator to try and make it clear. 01:08:40.840 --> 01:08:42.800 The one thing that Shopify rebellion's been doing, though, 01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:45.040 to really keep them boxed is on their turnouts. 01:08:45.040 --> 01:08:46.720 They're taking those big boosts from them. 01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.600 They're forcing Gen.G on the small pad game, 01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:51.320 which is slowing them down just a little bit, 01:08:51.320 --> 01:08:55.720 but it has been enough to make a difference. 01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:58.360 And LJ makes his breakaway back on in. 01:08:58.360 --> 01:09:01.960 Shopify rebellion, it's just the same story 01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:04.200 as it has been for the last two games. 01:09:04.200 --> 01:09:06.000 That was a gruster from LJ. 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:07.800 Works out. 01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:11.560 He had Kofi, Kofi wanted to, or thought about going for that touch from first killer, but 01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:15.560 LJ comes from the blind side, now he comes from the top side, off the bar. 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:18.840 LJ goes for one more, had the reset, will leave it. 01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.240 There was no way he was really going to get around that without creating a rebound for 01:09:22.240 --> 01:09:27.240 Gen G. First killer steals the ball from a voiceless ride, but the clear comes nonetheless 01:09:27.240 --> 01:09:30.840 as it bounces off the board, and first killer's just sitting down the field, 01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:33.400 no reason to wreck, but they missed the ball! 01:09:33.400 --> 01:09:37.560 Gen G can't make contact, and rebellion have the lead. 01:09:37.560 --> 01:09:39.900 This ball just continues to go over their heads. 01:09:39.900 --> 01:09:44.800 Oh, look at the tiniest, most slight of hand fake. 01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:47.840 To leave that over to LJ. 01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:50.800 This is top tier rebellion. 01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:53.200 You know, he's thinking, first killer, 01:09:53.200 --> 01:09:54.700 well, he's going to, he can play that to the ceiling. 01:09:54.700 --> 01:09:56.440 You can try to shoot that on net. 01:09:56.440 --> 01:09:59.480 But the way first killer skimmed it off of his car, 01:09:59.480 --> 01:10:01.480 it just sent it a little more straight angle. 01:10:01.480 --> 01:10:04.080 And you saw Magic Bear thinking he was going to get 01:10:04.080 --> 01:10:06.440 something that was leading towards the corner. 01:10:06.440 --> 01:10:10.440 That little touch messes him up just enough. 01:10:10.440 --> 01:10:14.440 First killer's had some great pushes in this series. 01:10:14.440 --> 01:10:16.440 Just the expectation for him. 01:10:16.440 --> 01:10:19.440 You know, he sat at the top of the leaderboards for NA for years and years and years, 01:10:19.440 --> 01:10:22.440 and rebellion has scored all for years and years and years here. 01:10:22.440 --> 01:10:27.440 First killer lobs it up, and Kofors slams it down. 01:10:27.440 --> 01:10:28.440 Nobody could get there. 01:10:28.440 --> 01:10:30.440 The rebound just comes out too far for Lies to get. 01:10:30.440 --> 01:10:33.440 When no one from Gen G can touch the wall. 01:10:33.440 --> 01:10:36.660 No, there's really nothing you can do, especially on something like that. 01:10:36.660 --> 01:10:37.660 It's a full team play. 01:10:37.660 --> 01:10:41.720 There are all three members of Rebellion getting involved, so it makes it even that much more 01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:44.280 confusing on what's about to go down for Genji. 01:10:44.280 --> 01:10:45.280 Oh my. 01:10:45.280 --> 01:10:50.520 He's trying to send a message here. 01:10:50.520 --> 01:10:52.920 I think we're all hearing it loud and clear. 01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:55.360 Frosty misses his flick. 01:10:55.360 --> 01:10:56.880 Some side flip off the ball. 01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:58.560 The ball didn't even move. 01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:01.920 Maybe if it does, it's not an easy dunk into the net. 01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:04.960 And instead, LJ will get some revenge on Frosty 01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:09.440 for the earlier dunk that he experienced in that last game. 01:11:09.440 --> 01:11:11.520 This has not been the game that Gen. 01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:12.200 G wanted. 01:11:12.200 --> 01:11:13.360 Hercules, he won. 01:11:13.360 --> 01:11:16.160 They were up to one for so long. 01:11:16.160 --> 01:11:18.960 It was the best day it looked in the series so far. 01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:21.200 And then it just fell apart three straight goals 01:11:21.200 --> 01:11:24.800 for rebellion and in the rear view mirror ever since. 01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:26.000 The biggest thing is right now, 01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.480 Gen. G does not seem to have an answer for first killer. 01:11:29.480 --> 01:11:34.080 And then there's not even an attempt to slow down either of the second man. 01:11:35.040 --> 01:11:38.240 At this point, they just continue to run away with things every, 01:11:38.240 --> 01:11:41.640 every time they tried, they've just been set off. 01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:46.600 You know, Frosty on the solo effort is always going to be a threat. 01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:49.760 But it's just too much. 01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:51.760 That one's in. 01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:52.640 Four seconds to go. 01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:57.160 And Rebellion are cleanly in the lead in this series. 01:11:57.160 --> 01:11:59.720 We are cleanly at this in-hands. 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:02.320 Virtus.pro watching onwards right now. 01:12:02.320 --> 01:12:05.560 They probably knew it wasn't going to be so easy. 01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:09.200 As, I mean, obviously, their task is, well, you got to face NRG. 01:12:09.200 --> 01:12:12.560 And if you beat them, you got to play rebellion. 01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:14.640 So that's quite the path for Virtus.pro, 01:12:14.640 --> 01:12:17.680 but one that they surely don't care too much about. 01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:21.000 Rebellion, getting back to form 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.280 as they are cleanly moving their way through the series. 01:12:24.280 --> 01:12:27.080 Now, one away now at this point, 01:12:27.080 --> 01:12:31.000 Genji seems to not be able to answer anything 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:33.200 that has happened against them so far. 01:12:33.200 --> 01:12:34.920 Rebellion, this chest is so, 01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:37.040 it feels so walk in the park for them. 01:12:37.040 --> 01:12:40.320 It's just a natural flow against this Genji roster. 01:12:40.320 --> 01:12:43.480 First killer, six shots alone, two in his name, 01:12:43.480 --> 01:12:45.200 11 overall. 01:12:45.200 --> 01:12:49.600 They are just absolutely having their way in the Genji side. 01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:51.080 And look at LJ as well. 01:12:51.080 --> 01:12:58.920 They got 100% goal participation with three goals, two assists, and even two saves on top 01:12:58.920 --> 01:12:59.920 of it. 01:12:59.920 --> 01:13:08.480 And it's just been a little too easy for Ravellian, and some mishaps that we saw from Gen G, where 01:13:08.480 --> 01:13:10.480 Ryze tried to flip into the ball in his own half. 01:13:10.480 --> 01:13:11.480 He couldn't get there. 01:13:11.480 --> 01:13:13.600 They're not reading the rebounds. 01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:16.680 Magic Bear didn't expect a little skin as he's coming back. 01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:18.600 I think you're on Magic Cam there. 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:24.280 probably didn't really look like first killer got much of a touch the way he was coming back under him 01:13:25.080 --> 01:13:31.080 and just it's little things like that they're just off rebellion they've established the rhythm 01:13:31.080 --> 01:13:36.200 and genji have never heard the genre before i mean i mean they have no answer right now and even when 01:13:36.200 --> 01:13:39.240 they have space and they have time that it's not able to do anything with the ball 01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:45.880 no not at all there there is no answer to how closely Shopify rebellion has played 01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:48.020 Not only on the ball, but on the... 01:13:48.020 --> 01:13:50.520 Whenever, like you said, Genji have been on it, 01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:54.660 they're not set up in a position to actually maintain that position long enough 01:13:54.660 --> 01:13:55.860 to even have a play. 01:13:55.860 --> 01:13:59.460 First killer off the kickoff, goes for the pass over to Kofur, 01:13:59.460 --> 01:14:03.760 just off the mark, gives Genji a fighting chance in the first 10 seconds. 01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:06.900 The other first split rebellion back Kofur touches just a shot, 01:14:06.900 --> 01:14:09.840 even though it's pretty well defended. 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:13.500 Instead, he tried to plate it up to the ceiling to catch the defense off guard, 01:14:13.500 --> 01:14:15.500 just off the creativity. 01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:17.800 that we're seeing from Rebellion this split. 01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:20.800 It is exactly what you expect 01:14:20.800 --> 01:14:22.480 even Kofi first joined this team. 01:14:22.480 --> 01:14:26.640 They are looking more like that team today. 01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:28.480 He might have been a little scared yesterday 01:14:28.480 --> 01:14:30.680 against foot on defense, 01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:32.800 but offense was my main concern 01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:35.120 coming into the split for Rebellion. 01:14:35.120 --> 01:14:38.520 And it is absolutely not a concern at all. 01:14:38.520 --> 01:14:41.880 Defense pass game one has been rock solid for Rebellion. 01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:43.440 It really haven't played much of it. 01:14:43.440 --> 01:14:45.040 But when they have not to play defense, 01:14:45.040 --> 01:14:51.680 Frosty has been tough to beat and he gets another one here for Gen. G. This is a very angry frosty to 01:14:52.080 --> 01:14:58.620 That has been dealing with a beatdown from rebellion a 2v1 on the back like here to get Gen. G 01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:03.480 They're firstly in quite some time if you control it off the ceiling and then 01:15:04.080 --> 01:15:08.600 Able to air dribble it and still get a bump at the end of it. LJ will throw it right back 01:15:09.080 --> 01:15:11.980 Rise with a diving spot go for 01:15:11.980 --> 01:15:14.860 Reset. No pure wet. 01:15:14.860 --> 01:15:17.560 Frosty and Magic Bear. 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:20.560 We're getting harassed by Copert, first killer. 01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:23.060 With a reset as well, Magic Bear was up to cover the high. 01:15:23.060 --> 01:15:24.560 Frosty comes up from below. 01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.860 And another clear here for Gen G. 01:15:26.860 --> 01:15:28.860 Got some fight left in them. 01:15:28.860 --> 01:15:30.860 Ryze could not get another touch. 01:15:30.860 --> 01:15:32.860 Nobody could follow up. Frosty's on small pass. 01:15:32.860 --> 01:15:34.360 Magic Bear doesn't have a lot either. 01:15:34.360 --> 01:15:36.360 Ryze will cut and buy it. 01:15:36.360 --> 01:15:39.360 Much needed time there for Gen G. 01:15:39.360 --> 01:15:45.080 First killer is just almost playing with them even despite them coming you know 01:15:45.080 --> 01:15:48.480 from the from the behind right now they're trailing on Gen G for the first 01:15:48.480 --> 01:15:52.720 time I believe in this series first killer in front of the midline Frosty 01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:56.080 just to resend it all the way back they're trying to do something different 01:15:56.080 --> 01:16:02.120 which at the bare minimum is stay out of their half. Good movement from LJ for a 01:16:02.120 --> 01:16:05.680 For a while, Kofa got demoed. First killer, quick pop. 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:07.680 Easy save from Frosty. 01:16:11.680 --> 01:16:13.680 Trying to bump Kofa as well. It doesn't work out. 01:16:17.180 --> 01:16:19.180 Genji looking for a way out. 01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:22.880 First touch cut away from Frosty a bit. 01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:25.880 He got to the 50. Kofa avoids that. 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:27.880 Bumped 50 right towards target. 01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:29.880 And first killer will get it out. 01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:32.480 Rebound back to Ryze, LJ diving stuff. 01:16:32.480 --> 01:16:36.980 Kofur, no boost, try the time and split, no dice. 01:16:36.980 --> 01:16:38.580 Gen.G, good push so far. 01:16:38.580 --> 01:16:40.180 What can they do with Ryze? 01:16:40.180 --> 01:16:43.180 Kofur, a pie, double tap their knife by first killer. 01:16:43.180 --> 01:16:45.180 Wanting his corner boost, Frosty will come back in. 01:16:45.180 --> 01:16:47.080 Magic bears next. 01:16:47.080 --> 01:16:48.580 Good push, good form from Gen.G. 01:16:48.580 --> 01:16:49.780 They need something out of this. 01:16:49.780 --> 01:16:52.080 Frosty's leaving to go get the mid-deal boost. 01:16:52.080 --> 01:16:53.680 Gives LJ a chance to come back. 01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:56.980 Frosty stayed underneath it for the 50, but Kofur too fast. 01:16:56.980 --> 01:16:59.480 And all of a sudden, the push starts to wane for Gen.G. 01:16:59.480 --> 01:17:03.440 Magic Bear will get another clear and try to keep things alive right now rise 01:17:03.440 --> 01:17:05.480 He's kind of just been all over the pitch as well 01:17:05.480 --> 01:17:10.840 He's tried to be the one to find that sneak attack for Gen G. Unfortunately for them there hasn't been that past yet 01:17:11.600 --> 01:17:13.880 Magic Bear will go frosty frosty now. They'll deny 01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:18.920 Couple was right there the whole time. He's like you want to hit top side? I'm already here 01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:21.560 First killer got bumped by Magic Bear 01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:27.440 It's a close close calls here double tap attempts denied good defense from rebellion 01:17:27.440 --> 01:17:32.440 Genji, it was good form on offense. 01:17:32.440 --> 01:17:33.440 They're slowly losing possession. 01:17:33.440 --> 01:17:36.440 Ryze has gotten some really quality touches out the teammates, 01:17:36.440 --> 01:17:39.440 and a lot better so far in game number four, 01:17:39.440 --> 01:17:40.440 trying to prevent the sweep. 01:17:40.440 --> 01:17:41.440 This first killer, 01:17:41.440 --> 01:17:42.440 a pie from the midfield, 01:17:42.440 --> 01:17:43.440 he gets chipped on the play. 01:17:43.440 --> 01:17:45.440 Culver trying to steal that boost. 01:17:45.440 --> 01:17:46.440 Now everyone's got to leave. 01:17:46.440 --> 01:17:47.440 Oji's got a full tank. 01:17:47.440 --> 01:17:49.440 Magic Bear stays underneath it. 01:17:49.440 --> 01:17:51.440 And everyone's playing back for Genji. 01:17:51.440 --> 01:17:53.440 Unfortunately for Genji, 01:17:53.440 --> 01:17:55.440 there's not really a lot of solo play opportunity for them 01:17:55.440 --> 01:18:02.400 for them to rare double commit hasn't quite resulted in anything yet see how 01:18:02.400 --> 01:18:07.240 opportunity rides gonna try and find it but first killer back in time I think 01:18:07.240 --> 01:18:11.240 that was LJ very knew that he was gonna have to defend against LJ he thought he 01:18:11.240 --> 01:18:15.200 was gonna get a touch there LJ end up missing the ball first killer going 01:18:15.200 --> 01:18:20.320 for the ceiling or the foot reset up to the ceiling as LJ trying to create 01:18:20.320 --> 01:18:24.640 space first killer on small pads on the right LJ gets a little roll on a 01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:31.840 the split. Kofa's up high. Kofa goes low. Kofa gets the goal. Rebellion! Finally found the game, 01:18:31.840 --> 01:18:39.520 tying goal. The reset over one rises. Pop-up though just sets Magic Bear up for the complete 01:18:39.520 --> 01:18:44.720 opposite of success in there. He's so awkward and it's unfortunate, but if you are a Rebellion fan, 01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:49.600 you are freaking out. You tie it 43 seconds to go. This is where they're going to thrive. 01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:52.880 This is where these pushers are going to start to come through for Rebellion. First killer 01:18:52.880 --> 01:18:58.200 to catch off magic bear shot carry him over it's very low boost has a split no 01:18:58.200 --> 01:19:02.600 challenge this one's all the way out to the side this gopher comes around the 01:19:02.600 --> 01:19:05.880 30 seconds left to go everybody from rebellion is lurking waiting for the 01:19:05.880 --> 01:19:11.120 chance to shoot everyone on rebellion has had their stars in this game the 01:19:11.120 --> 01:19:17.120 first killer you've had cofer lj he's set up back only gold that rebellion 01:19:17.120 --> 01:19:20.900 have now he's demoing everybody takes the pass from cofer cofer getting in 01:19:20.900 --> 01:19:25.460 away. LJ coming across trying to end it in regulation. Nobody can rip the ball away from 01:19:25.460 --> 01:19:31.520 him. Magic Bear desperation clear to rise. Rise off target. First killer will keep it 01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:36.780 in the air. LJ chases it down. No dunk. Covert will put it on the ground. It's golden goal 01:19:36.780 --> 01:19:39.180 for rebellion. It's survival goal for Gen G. 01:19:39.180 --> 01:19:44.140 The frustrating too is off the kickoff. They go for the fake Magic Bear stays way 01:19:44.140 --> 01:19:48.860 far back. It's still not going to stop the pressure here though but Ryan had 01:19:48.860 --> 01:19:54.560 Opportunity was just off the mark, and like you said, it's that golden goal that's gonna keep Gen.G. in this. 01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:01.460 Cophers, nothing for him. Magic Bear sits in the midfield, LJ avoids him, has a pass to Cophers! 01:20:01.460 --> 01:20:05.560 Ain't this the connection? It's usually as solid as fiber internet! 01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:11.160 But this time, Gen.G. didn't have to do anything, the cable snaps! 01:20:11.160 --> 01:20:15.960 Magic Bear, getting back to the back wall quickly, first killer, just chasing him down. 01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:19.560 Or did force a slight mis-touching Magic Bear is all out of sorts. 01:20:19.560 --> 01:20:20.960 LJ just keeps it up high. 01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:24.060 Gopher fake!

01:29:09.820 --> 01:29:12.980 Oh no, no, the players are very comfortable. 01:29:12.980 --> 01:29:16.260 Like I said, our practice has been going amazing. 01:29:16.260 --> 01:29:22.540 It's just a little bit of nerves that's been affecting us more of that mental side. 01:29:22.540 --> 01:29:24.580 And I think we'll be good. 01:29:24.580 --> 01:29:27.540 And we're all met and we're fixing that. 01:29:27.540 --> 01:29:30.340 And we'll be good. 01:29:30.340 --> 01:29:31.460 OK, good. 01:29:31.460 --> 01:29:34.700 Now, the other thing for I always want to ask 01:29:34.700 --> 01:29:38.860 is when it comes to implementing your new system, 01:29:38.860 --> 01:29:40.460 is there a point where, OK, if you 01:29:40.460 --> 01:29:44.580 have a couple rough goes at it that you maybe want to panic 01:29:44.580 --> 01:29:46.780 and revert back to an older system? 01:29:46.780 --> 01:29:49.380 Or where's that line of it's not working, 01:29:49.380 --> 01:29:51.900 or we just have to push a little more? 01:29:51.900 --> 01:29:53.980 That's what we had last split, I'm not gonna lie. 01:29:53.980 --> 01:29:56.820 We had a good system and we got some doubts 01:29:56.820 --> 01:29:57.860 so then it didn't work out. 01:29:57.860 --> 01:30:00.540 But we know this one, it's working for us. 01:30:00.540 --> 01:30:03.980 Like we're feeling really good in it, everyone agrees. 01:30:03.980 --> 01:30:05.900 So we just push, like we just, 01:30:05.900 --> 01:30:08.980 I mean, we've been doing well in practice and all that. 01:30:08.980 --> 01:30:11.980 It was just on the day we just have to perform. 01:30:11.980 --> 01:30:13.500 And that's what we're doing now. 01:30:13.500 --> 01:30:15.780 And I hope we can do more. 01:30:15.780 --> 01:30:17.100 Yeah, no, hopefully again, again, 01:30:17.100 --> 01:30:19.340 I believe you guys have a potential 01:30:19.340 --> 01:30:21.260 for a world clinch spot too 01:30:21.260 --> 01:30:22.980 if you can beat energy in Grand Final. 01:30:22.980 --> 01:30:25.700 So that sits at the back of the mind at all as well, 01:30:25.700 --> 01:30:27.900 or is it just match by match? 01:30:28.900 --> 01:30:30.860 Match by match, you can be thinking about that. 01:30:30.860 --> 01:30:33.660 And especially with the mindset we're in now, 01:30:33.660 --> 01:30:35.820 we're one of the best, 01:30:35.820 --> 01:30:39.140 if we can be the best in the name, I think. 01:30:39.140 --> 01:30:40.500 We just gotta have that mindset 01:30:40.500 --> 01:30:43.340 like not even worrying about it and just play. 01:30:43.340 --> 01:30:44.660 Yeah, hey, well, hopefully you guys 01:30:44.660 --> 01:30:45.620 can keep it up on the day. 01:30:45.620 --> 01:30:48.420 You guys are great match to start the day. 01:30:48.420 --> 01:30:49.820 And then hopefully that continues for you. 01:30:49.820 --> 01:30:51.740 So thanks for your, give me your time, VPN. 01:30:51.740 --> 01:30:53.540 We'll hopefully talk to you later. 01:30:53.540 --> 01:30:54.740 I appreciate you, Lisa. 01:30:57.220 --> 01:30:58.660 I appreciate VPN. 01:30:58.660 --> 01:31:00.380 Always class acts. 01:31:00.380 --> 01:31:01.220 Break out a half back. 01:31:01.220 --> 01:31:02.860 You know, I was like that from a world champion. 01:31:02.860 --> 01:31:04.180 Oh yeah, come on now. 01:31:05.100 --> 01:31:07.140 No, I, Jorbey loved it. 01:31:07.140 --> 01:31:08.660 I mean, like a new system. 01:31:08.660 --> 01:31:11.100 It is easy to like, you know, 01:31:11.100 --> 01:31:12.740 whether you have a system or not, 01:31:12.740 --> 01:31:14.340 still get nervous as you save on the day. 01:31:14.340 --> 01:31:17.020 Like these are veteran professionals, 01:31:17.020 --> 01:31:18.900 but nerves still kick in. 01:31:18.900 --> 01:31:23.140 I think, you know, there's so much, especially like think about first killer in his journey. 01:31:23.580 --> 01:31:29.900 Like I can't imagine the weight that first killer must feel when not just playing in this region, 01:31:29.900 --> 01:31:32.860 having to play against the atomic show, he's placed boiler to atomic in the past, 01:31:33.860 --> 01:31:38.880 like preventing three peats, but like has also a lot like atomic is leading in that series 01:31:38.880 --> 01:31:40.380 in that head to head series against him. 01:31:40.380 --> 01:31:42.540 I know this is Gen G, but like they stopped Gen G. 01:31:42.540 --> 01:31:46.300 I just like first killer though, I understand, you know, the mental thing, 01:31:46.300 --> 01:31:50.860 nerves for first killer because he's been fighting for so long and has been 01:31:50.860 --> 01:31:54.980 performing so well for so long to actually get the results that you think 01:31:54.980 --> 01:31:58.700 the first killer should get. Alright it's been so bad for him like you know 01:31:58.700 --> 01:32:02.140 that you can't pay attention to the memes and stuff when you're a pro but 01:32:02.140 --> 01:32:05.780 when you're here and all the time like fourth killer and things like that how 01:32:05.780 --> 01:32:09.420 does that not at least get to you a little bit you know and like and 01:32:09.420 --> 01:32:13.420 obviously like that's something as a pro that you have to block that noise 01:32:13.420 --> 01:32:17.900 out somehow but like there's still that nerves of like okay we can actually do it this time. 01:32:17.900 --> 01:32:22.140 LJ Kofa first killer I said at the start of this entire season before the Boston split this is 01:32:22.140 --> 01:32:26.060 the best roster first killer has ever had. He should be getting the best results he's ever 01:32:26.060 --> 01:32:31.660 gotten on this team obviously didn't exactly work out last split but how they looked in that series 01:32:31.660 --> 01:32:35.740 versus Gen G they should have dominated them the way that they did that's how good that 01:32:35.740 --> 01:32:41.580 rebellion team is on paper and they showed it on the field. Yeah yeah I mean Herc I feel 01:32:41.580 --> 01:32:45.860 like we say nerves and almost always feels like a cop out like analysis of 01:32:45.860 --> 01:32:50.860 things sometimes but VP just you know told us right there that that is still a 01:32:50.860 --> 01:32:55.580 real factor. No it's definitely a real factor for any team across the board 01:32:55.580 --> 01:33:00.300 right whether it's Shopify rebellion or Virtus Pro you know after you know 01:33:00.300 --> 01:33:05.060 peeking and the whole world had eyes on them every player in every region 01:33:05.060 --> 01:33:09.780 definitely you know to some degree sees what's online and in some form or 01:33:09.780 --> 01:33:13.020 fashion has to build the mental fortitude to block it all out. 01:33:13.860 --> 01:33:17.580 Hey, well, here's our bracket now. One best of seven is off the board. 01:33:17.580 --> 01:33:20.180 Plenty more to go. You can see the schedule here. 01:33:20.460 --> 01:33:22.340 Your favorite teams may be playing in a little bit. 01:33:22.340 --> 01:33:24.700 I would say stay here since you already are. 01:33:24.700 --> 01:33:27.100 But you can find out exactly when they are by looking at best, 01:33:27.100 --> 01:33:30.300 but we have to get to our next match because it's about ready. 01:33:30.300 --> 01:33:32.580 So why don't we start talking about it? This is a big one. 01:33:32.820 --> 01:33:36.740 A doozy here, Herc, Virtus Pro facing down NRG. 01:33:36.900 --> 01:33:38.780 You look at the matchup between these two. 01:33:38.780 --> 01:33:43.780 It's three and two in favor of Virtus Pro, but all of those come on Fridays and Saturdays. 01:33:43.780 --> 01:33:45.780 Sundays goes to NRG. 01:33:45.780 --> 01:33:49.780 Yeah, according to James, Virtus Pro just doesn't exist on a Sunday. 01:33:49.780 --> 01:33:53.780 So we'll see if they can change that here. 01:33:53.780 --> 01:34:01.780 This team has had one of the most fun journeys to watch over the course of the last few years, even I would say. 01:34:01.780 --> 01:34:07.180 They, you know, found so much success throughout all the opens on land. 01:34:07.180 --> 01:34:10.060 They were fairly absent, but they did get to make it there. 01:34:10.060 --> 01:34:13.360 And then that was those nerves we talked about that they got to experience 01:34:13.360 --> 01:34:16.900 something and deal with, you know, figuring out what they were going to be like. 01:34:16.900 --> 01:34:20.140 And now they're back to where they're comfortable on land and hopefully in 01:34:20.140 --> 01:34:23.140 their brains pretending that this is Friday or Saturday, so they can take 01:34:23.140 --> 01:34:23.740 energy down. 01:34:24.140 --> 01:34:28.140 I mean, energy on Sunday, I think we're going to expect their best. 01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:29.900 Definitely Friday and Saturday. 01:34:29.900 --> 01:34:32.200 You could point you can point some things the tank tops gone 01:34:32.200 --> 01:34:35.180 He also got rid of the bench press in his setup, which kind of makes me sad 01:34:35.180 --> 01:34:36.180 I love seeing that 01:34:36.180 --> 01:34:41.420 One day I wanted him to like actually do some senses of just go over it. Yeah, I'm not getting that anymore 01:34:42.180 --> 01:34:44.180 Furniture's all missing. He's in 01:34:50.180 --> 01:34:51.980 But you know for 01:34:51.980 --> 01:34:53.860 Virtus Pro, I think 01:34:53.860 --> 01:34:59.180 This is gonna sound weird when I say this but I think really the only thing they couldn't do against space station 01:34:59.180 --> 01:35:03.940 was handle their physicality and so I just think it was match-up diff 01:35:03.940 --> 01:35:07.860 because space station love the physical game and as soon as space station turned 01:35:07.860 --> 01:35:13.100 that on VP didn't have an answer for it NRG they can turn up the demo game I 01:35:13.100 --> 01:35:16.540 feel like they do that as a reaction though and unless it's less something 01:35:16.540 --> 01:35:20.900 they really go for a lot unless they start struggling on offense to 01:35:20.900 --> 01:35:26.420 actually get a goal so Virtus Pro beat them in five earlier in this 01:35:26.420 --> 01:35:32.500 tournament. Beating NRG twice is something that no team ever does, but Virtus.pro could 01:35:32.500 --> 01:35:38.140 absolutely do it here. And I think that it's actually, it's better for them. If NRG don't 01:35:38.140 --> 01:35:41.380 get physical early, I think Virtus.pro have a real chance in this series. 01:35:41.380 --> 01:35:46.420 Yeah, but the problem, I mean, I really do want to bring it back to the mentality of 01:35:46.420 --> 01:35:50.980 it all here as the progressive fan goes on, you guys get your predictions in, is the 01:35:50.980 --> 01:35:54.380 fact that we usually see a lot of smiles coming up from that VP squad in A, just 01:35:54.380 --> 01:35:58.620 We're not present in those cans there and I wonder if that's the factor. I mean they know 01:35:59.660 --> 01:36:05.980 How how Sundays go when they face down energy and it's never in their favor. So I'm curious which way you think it's gonna go 01:36:07.700 --> 01:36:09.700 All right, yeah 01:36:10.460 --> 01:36:12.140 yesterday I 01:36:12.140 --> 01:36:19.660 Backed VP despite them losing in that. I believe it was game seven. Yeah broke my heart. I was out there 01:36:19.660 --> 01:36:28.860 you know, I'm doubling down good. I'm going I'm going vertus pro. Good. Good. You know what? 01:36:28.860 --> 01:36:33.740 I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna bring some extra reason to the test. Vertus pros. Well, 01:36:33.740 --> 01:36:38.860 you guys are chirping me for Friday. No, I said they need to get a little bit of a whooping go 01:36:38.860 --> 01:36:43.980 down a lower bracket and crew. They're going to go up against the best team in North America 01:36:43.980 --> 01:36:49.820 right now and they're going to crush them. I have never left VP. I am always behind them. 01:36:50.460 --> 01:36:56.300 There was a plan here guys. There is a plan here. It's Sunday. It's NRG. Have you seen how Beast Mode 01:36:56.300 --> 01:37:00.700 is playing? Hello? Atomicals free jump for people. Do you guys think VP are going to be able to handle 01:37:00.700 --> 01:37:05.580 the heat? No dude. They can't even get anywhere near the kitchen. It's NRG all day. It's 01:37:05.580 --> 01:37:14.700 championship Sunday. They don't lose these. I love what Chad cannot hear right now, but 01:37:14.700 --> 01:37:19.980 I got Dazz in my discord right now just backing you up all the way, Jarvie. But I don't know. 01:37:19.980 --> 01:37:24.540 I think this is the one. I think this where VP finally overcomes their championship Sunday 01:37:24.540 --> 01:37:30.700 demons. We're going to find out right now with the best of seven NRG and VP. It's always 01:37:30.700 --> 01:37:32.360 It's gone in the favor of NRG. 01:37:32.360 --> 01:37:37.100 Virtus.Pro has a massive mountain and obstacle to overcome here. 01:37:37.100 --> 01:37:41.020 The question is, can they do it when it comes down to the wire on championship Sunday? 01:37:45.100 --> 01:37:48.660 Virtus.Pro have not been NRG on a Sunday. 01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:51.020 Welcome, Championship Sunday, ladies and gentlemen. 01:37:51.020 --> 01:37:53.300 It is NRG vs. Virtus.Pro game. 01:37:53.300 --> 01:37:55.180 We're about to go to some games, Mark. 01:37:55.180 --> 01:37:56.900 This is going to be interesting. 01:37:56.900 --> 01:37:59.500 Can Virtus.Pro do what they could not do before? 01:37:59.500 --> 01:38:06.500 We'll be finding out here pretty soon. Also, I will say, sometimes things change. This could be the day. 01:38:06.500 --> 01:38:15.500 Virtus.Pro has been looking pretty good. I think they narrowly lost to SSG, who has looked like the hottest team in North America right now. 01:38:15.500 --> 01:38:20.500 They also beat NRG earlier, but that's not up to a great start for VP. 01:38:22.500 --> 01:38:27.500 There we go. We already got the Beast kick on the board here. Great kickoff from the bottom of the box. 01:38:27.500 --> 01:38:31.500 That was crazy. I mean, clean-cheek, clean-beat. 01:38:31.500 --> 01:38:40.500 And he jumps over the- he jumps over the first bump attempt and then gets that hit using his flip perfectly around the second defender. 01:38:41.500 --> 01:38:45.500 Kick-off stress, definitely improving for NRG. 01:38:45.500 --> 01:38:56.500 Curtis Pro where they really shine I thought was on their defensive end they held off some crazy barrages from NRG and were able to score on counter-attacks. 01:38:56.500 --> 01:39:01.500 They keep that level of defense here on Championship Sunday. 01:39:01.500 --> 01:39:09.100 They catch, looking for the follow-up there, but maybe strong player, midfield, small intercept. 01:39:09.100 --> 01:39:13.420 NRG looking to hold on to possession in the midfield, we'll see a talk, it's changed out 01:39:13.420 --> 01:39:14.420 with this double. 01:39:14.420 --> 01:39:19.740 Get to pass one, get 50 pass, Daniel, but there's got no boost to stay in the play 01:39:19.740 --> 01:39:23.460 here, it's going to be kind of way here on the left wall, it gets sent to Daniel, 01:39:23.460 --> 01:39:24.460 almost picked it up. 01:39:24.460 --> 01:39:27.860 All right, leads it for Atomic, high ball, but not enough boost for the follow-up. 01:39:27.860 --> 01:39:30.940 Two-piece clears of an NRG, still looking James. 01:39:30.940 --> 01:39:35.240 But you're seeing early signs of miscommunication, 01:39:35.240 --> 01:39:37.800 disorganization there on the VPD fence. 01:39:37.800 --> 01:39:40.800 And now the fake, this is what NRG does best. 01:39:40.800 --> 01:39:42.760 All eyes were on B smoke, 01:39:42.760 --> 01:39:45.640 but Atomic is the one taking the shot. 01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:49.120 Oh, look at the fake, fake into the shot. 01:39:49.120 --> 01:39:52.880 Like you said, NRG hits that all every time. 01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:53.720 You know James? 01:39:53.720 --> 01:39:54.560 I just really like this. 01:39:54.560 --> 01:39:55.840 That's the misdirection. 01:39:55.840 --> 01:39:57.760 Me and you being here at this moment, 01:39:57.760 --> 01:39:59.300 it's just, it brings me back. 01:39:59.300 --> 01:40:04.460 All right, I know you're trying to steal as first job. We got we got a job to do here 01:40:08.180 --> 01:40:12.220 Okay, what is the hard thing to do is to stop this NRG offense and this is why 01:40:13.300 --> 01:40:17.860 This is what I was saying on the desk before is when you look at all the teams in North America 01:40:17.980 --> 01:40:21.860 The levels of misdirection that NRG has is higher than anyone else 01:40:21.860 --> 01:40:24.340 And their fearlessness to go for it as well 01:40:24.340 --> 01:40:30.180 Sometimes you think it might get open net that they're choosing to not go for but with how quick defenses are a lot of times 01:40:30.180 --> 01:40:33.020 The defenses can get back just in the nick of time 01:40:33.420 --> 01:40:40.180 But NRG will go through that one extra layer of fix one extra layer of hitting it off the backboard a lot of times 01:40:40.180 --> 01:40:42.180 That helps them get those goals 01:40:42.180 --> 01:40:46.560 Yeah, you're looking for double here good read from talk to stop it right before I hit the back wall 01:40:46.740 --> 01:40:50.740 Talk now no boost in the midfield. So maybe we'll come in just bring it to the side 01:40:50.740 --> 01:40:55.900 We're beast most there to meet a beast mode to a topic trying to get about that piece mode talk there to intercept 01:40:55.900 --> 01:40:58.660 This is just a big battle right now for that midfield wavy 01:40:59.180 --> 01:41:03.580 Sticks that one switches the place of the orange corner where two peas tries to pick it up 01:41:03.780 --> 01:41:06.580 This ball is just been no control here 01:41:06.660 --> 01:41:13.380 There's both teams trying to fight for that possession and you can just feel how close like how important that battle for the midfield 01:41:13.380 --> 01:41:16.900 There's a day of placing it to this corner talk what wants to work it out 01:41:16.900 --> 01:41:23.460 a beast mode just so ready at the ball back in four peers as in our gene on that 01:41:23.460 --> 01:41:28.420 two goal lead halfway through this first game James hanging on to it now and you 01:41:28.420 --> 01:41:32.340 saw the big different Daniel at the midfield you wonder in those midfield 01:41:32.340 --> 01:41:36.380 band battles if these books gonna be playing far up how furnace pro is 01:41:36.380 --> 01:41:41.300 gonna handle that pressure if these modes playing teeth now you see a 2v1 01:41:41.300 --> 01:41:43.300 Atomic playing off 01:41:44.420 --> 01:41:50.320 Now wait he has a chance, but no he doesn't gets demoed from behind the midfield battle not going great for VP 01:41:51.500 --> 01:41:56.360 To be used to follow up touch there as well since the talk all talking connect 01:41:56.620 --> 01:42:01.060 Would have been a pretty good shot if he could have gotten some pace behind it 01:42:01.060 --> 01:42:03.780 Would have made it pretty hard for a save to come through 01:42:04.380 --> 01:42:06.980 But now they'll have to try again so far 01:42:06.980 --> 01:42:11.900 only one shot on Verna's curl it was from two-piece I don't even remember when 01:42:11.900 --> 01:42:16.060 that shot went through that just goes to show you the story of this offense for 01:42:16.060 --> 01:42:19.740 Verna's throw not too many chances being generated but the chance here is a demo 01:42:19.740 --> 01:42:24.460 out of the out of midair but no shot came talk I don't know if he was 01:42:24.460 --> 01:42:29.540 expecting a touch that demo was so clean just needed to make contact on 01:42:29.540 --> 01:42:32.900 that ball and it was likely gonna be a goal no the stiff shot where he 01:42:32.900 --> 01:42:35.440 He found almost knocked in. 01:42:35.440 --> 01:42:38.100 We're seeing light now from Virtus Probe. 01:42:38.100 --> 01:42:40.460 We're seeing a light from everyone except Tom. 01:42:40.460 --> 01:42:42.620 This is two times now where he's missed 01:42:42.620 --> 01:42:45.020 a good pass opportunity into a clean chance. 01:42:45.020 --> 01:42:47.420 Two feet may be the one that needs to score here 01:42:47.420 --> 01:42:49.340 as he's the only one with shots on the board. 01:42:49.340 --> 01:42:51.140 He's gonna try to pass it up for Wavy. 01:42:51.140 --> 01:42:54.020 Wavy forces two to off his up next. 01:42:54.020 --> 01:42:55.060 What's he gonna do? 01:42:55.060 --> 01:42:56.300 Place the high Wavy pre-jump, 01:42:56.300 --> 01:42:58.260 but he can't connect on that one too. 01:42:58.260 --> 01:42:59.620 And it's gonna send Virtus Probe back 01:42:59.620 --> 01:43:01.220 after Beast Mode's clear. 01:43:01.220 --> 01:43:02.420 B-smote with no boost. 01:43:02.420 --> 01:43:03.980 Still get to him on the 50th. 01:43:03.980 --> 01:43:05.900 Allows him to steal the corner boost as well, 01:43:05.900 --> 01:43:07.780 but Tuck gonna try to take it full field. 01:43:07.780 --> 01:43:10.300 The reset late hit, not the best touch, 01:43:10.300 --> 01:43:12.180 and that leaves Wavy half flipping back. 01:43:12.180 --> 01:43:13.340 Trying to get there in time. 01:43:13.340 --> 01:43:15.340 Awkward call for him. 01:43:15.340 --> 01:43:17.380 Daniel looking for a one point two-piece. 01:43:17.380 --> 01:43:18.660 Two-piece, a great composure. 01:43:18.660 --> 01:43:20.300 Verna's part of the low on boost here. 01:43:20.300 --> 01:43:21.780 B-smote trying to get the cut 01:43:21.780 --> 01:43:23.740 to hit it off the back wall of Verna's, 01:43:23.740 --> 01:43:24.580 but not good enough. 01:43:24.580 --> 01:43:25.580 Here's Daniel. 01:43:25.580 --> 01:43:26.740 Oh, too far away. 01:43:26.740 --> 01:43:27.940 That's a heavy touch. 01:43:27.940 --> 01:43:30.180 That way he will put it toward the NRG's back wall. 01:43:30.180 --> 01:43:32.660 He played the miss, but Beast Mode doesn't miss there. 01:43:32.660 --> 01:43:36.180 Now with 24 seconds left, all NRG need is one clear. 01:43:36.180 --> 01:43:37.740 And Gale gives it to Atalic. 01:43:37.740 --> 01:43:40.180 That should be enough for the game here, James. 01:43:40.180 --> 01:43:42.420 Really difficult defensive read for Gale to make, 01:43:42.420 --> 01:43:45.140 but it was a must read play for him. 01:43:45.140 --> 01:43:50.380 Him making that read really locked in the game for NRG. 01:43:50.380 --> 01:43:52.860 Curtis Proto offensively had some good looks. 01:43:52.860 --> 01:43:54.900 It's just those little moments. 01:43:54.900 --> 01:43:56.900 You know, you've got to capitalize 01:43:56.900 --> 01:43:58.580 on those small advantages that you get. 01:43:58.580 --> 01:44:01.560 That demo was so good out of midair. 01:44:01.560 --> 01:44:04.140 Talk just has to make contact on the shot. 01:44:04.140 --> 01:44:07.560 Yeah, I mean, had two opportunities, 01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:08.760 you can give them one, 01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:10.320 you can't give them two on that one. 01:44:10.320 --> 01:44:14.000 You gotta, yeah, I have a little bit of accountability there. 01:44:14.000 --> 01:44:15.280 I'm gonna talk about giving them two. 01:44:15.280 --> 01:44:19.240 Well, the only two that hurt his bro got were two shots 01:44:19.240 --> 01:44:20.080 from two piece. 01:44:20.080 --> 01:44:21.680 That was it. 01:44:21.680 --> 01:44:23.840 That was how much of a lockdown style 01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:26.120 that energy had in that game. 01:44:26.120 --> 01:44:28.720 Yeah. And then you can see it too. 01:44:28.720 --> 01:44:30.640 I mean, a lot of it though, you know, 01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:34.240 Bernice did do a good job trying to contest the midfield for sure. 01:44:34.240 --> 01:44:36.360 I think that that was kind of important 01:44:36.360 --> 01:44:37.640 to give NRG too much space 01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:38.920 because they could increase the score line, 01:44:38.920 --> 01:44:43.920 but definitely a game that hopefully Bernice can shake off 01:44:44.200 --> 01:44:46.120 because you don't want to go down to NRG here, 01:44:46.120 --> 01:44:47.360 not on this stage. 01:44:47.360 --> 01:44:49.560 Yeah, it was impressive stuff from NRG. 01:44:49.560 --> 01:44:51.800 You saw the kickoff goal. 01:44:51.800 --> 01:44:53.680 This point here is while Atomic 01:44:53.680 --> 01:45:00.640 The fake shot from beast mode and and you saw how much the defense believed in that you saw this 01:45:00.640 --> 01:45:02.640 I think it was wavy going for the squishy save 01:45:03.240 --> 01:45:06.160 100% on the trajectory of where beast mode it was 01:45:06.520 --> 01:45:12.600 Telegraphing that shot but as as for one of the greatest casters out there would say the thing that energy does is anti 01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:15.000 Telegraphing you he was locked in on the 01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:20.920 Telegraphing the shot, but it was not the play that energy had in mind and atomic out 01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:23.120 He said that one time, James. 01:45:23.120 --> 01:45:25.080 He said that one time. 01:45:25.080 --> 01:45:27.440 The point is still very valid. 01:45:27.440 --> 01:45:30.640 And that is really the beautiful play from NRG. 01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:32.440 And it's plays like that that I think really 01:45:32.440 --> 01:45:35.680 separate the offenses that you've seen, 01:45:35.680 --> 01:45:38.120 the offense that you see from other teams in North America. 01:45:38.120 --> 01:45:39.120 But the defense was good. 01:45:39.120 --> 01:45:41.720 I think Virtus. Pro was there with every step. 01:45:41.720 --> 01:45:43.360 They had their chances. 01:45:43.360 --> 01:45:44.920 A little bit unfortunate for them. 01:45:44.920 --> 01:45:46.360 They weren't able to put them away. 01:45:46.360 --> 01:45:48.960 But I think the silver lining for Virtus. Pro 01:45:48.960 --> 01:45:52.200 is that they were hanging with NRG in terms of speed. 01:45:52.200 --> 01:45:54.400 Yeah, NRG got the better of them. 01:45:54.400 --> 01:45:57.200 But I mean, if you really look at it under a microscope, 01:45:57.200 --> 01:45:59.920 that one kickoff goal was unfortunate. 01:45:59.920 --> 01:46:02.200 You hate to see kickoff goals in 3-3. 01:46:02.200 --> 01:46:03.120 That one goes away. 01:46:03.120 --> 01:46:06.720 And then also you talk scores that shot that he had 01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:08.080 could have been a much different ball game. 01:46:08.080 --> 01:46:09.440 So this is not a situation where 01:46:09.440 --> 01:46:11.360 Virtus.Pro is outclass whatsoever. 01:46:11.360 --> 01:46:14.240 Yeah, and I think the fact that we are focusing on the 01:46:14.240 --> 01:46:19.400 Micro goes to show you how close this matchup is between NRG and 01:46:19.400 --> 01:46:21.760 Vertus Pro. It's one of the most played matchups of the season with 01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:26.600 Vertus Pro leading the head to head over NRG three out of two in five games that 01:46:26.600 --> 01:46:30.920 they played. But those five ones like I said at the intro those fire those three 01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:34.560 wins I'm sorry over NRG were all on Friday and Saturday and both the 01:46:34.560 --> 01:46:38.240 losses were on Sunday. So I think for Vertus Pro they had a shaky day 01:46:38.240 --> 01:46:43.040 yesterday obviously losing that three one against SSG really sucks. On the 01:46:43.040 --> 01:46:47.740 same on the other side in our G they looked solid, but you know, they did give up a couple 01:46:47.740 --> 01:46:53.980 early games to strictly business, but afterwards they were full sailing. So I think for Vertus, 01:46:53.980 --> 01:46:59.900 it's kind of cleaning things up from yesterday. And like we said, that micro that came out 01:46:59.900 --> 01:47:03.780 from talk earlier, where, you know, just missing those two shot chances, you can't 01:47:03.780 --> 01:47:08.580 miss those not against an RG. Yeah. And talk is the player who earlier in the season, 01:47:08.580 --> 01:47:12.600 He would have wanted to be the one in those shooting situations, 01:47:12.600 --> 01:47:13.860 calling him the talk show. 01:47:13.860 --> 01:47:17.260 He had the talk 10 plays or whatever it was. 01:47:17.260 --> 01:47:20.980 Talk was on fire for a majority of the early part of the season. 01:47:20.980 --> 01:47:23.500 So if he can get back into that form, 01:47:23.500 --> 01:47:25.940 that this game wasn't so unwinnable for Virtus. 01:47:25.940 --> 01:47:29.540 Pro, I think they can bounce back. 01:47:29.540 --> 01:47:30.420 Yeah. 01:47:30.420 --> 01:47:34.420 Now looking at Virtus for the rest of this series, 01:47:34.420 --> 01:47:36.660 like you said, just kind of cleaning things up 01:47:36.660 --> 01:47:39.680 on the side of NRG, I think it is, you know, 01:47:39.680 --> 01:47:41.240 just kind of keep me on that consistency. 01:47:41.240 --> 01:47:43.440 There's such a good team that can focus 01:47:43.440 --> 01:47:48.040 on those misdirection plays and finding each other 01:47:48.040 --> 01:47:50.400 in the midfield that this series 01:47:50.400 --> 01:47:52.200 is kind of kind of come down to that, right? 01:47:52.200 --> 01:47:55.440 The midfield, it's like a battle of attrition 01:47:55.440 --> 01:47:57.440 where as soon as you let up, 01:47:57.440 --> 01:48:01.040 the other side just has a chance to completely take over. 01:48:01.040 --> 01:48:02.480 Well, that's when it's about hitting your chances. 01:48:02.480 --> 01:48:09.000 The one play that I think really makes an example out of that point was when Wavy had 01:48:09.000 --> 01:48:13.780 a look at the midfield and he took a split second of time, gets demoed from behind. 01:48:13.780 --> 01:48:18.360 You've got Beast mode playing so far up and a lot of times he's playing ahead of the 01:48:18.360 --> 01:48:19.360 back line. 01:48:19.360 --> 01:48:23.760 He likes to come from behind the defenders where they don't have a look on him to 01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:27.680 get those little extra touches where they can't see, but he's also a threat to laying 01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:29.140 demos like that at the midfield. 01:48:29.140 --> 01:48:34.000 So if you're, if you're Virtus.Pro, you need to rely extra on those comms, trust your teammates 01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:38.300 who maybe have vision and also maybe utilize that rear view mirror a bit more. 01:48:38.300 --> 01:48:42.300 Yeah, you do have to keep your head on the swivels at this stage of the game. 01:48:42.300 --> 01:48:46.860 But you know, one of the things we saw yesterday was Wavy being very proactive, especially 01:48:46.860 --> 01:48:52.700 in the SSG series, just going through and getting bombs, just making off ball boost 01:48:52.700 --> 01:48:54.500 plays, you know, that level of aggression. 01:48:54.500 --> 01:48:58.060 I don't know if Virtus.Pro have a different approach when they know they're playing 01:48:58.060 --> 01:49:04.700 But it did seem like once Wavy really started making moves around the field, it gave two 01:49:04.700 --> 01:49:08.700 piece and talked just so much more breathing room to work with and they might need that. 01:49:08.700 --> 01:49:14.740 Yes, and one area where Wavy was able to make that space and help his team out was when 01:49:14.740 --> 01:49:17.260 he had boost and ball. 01:49:17.260 --> 01:49:21.500 He was able to take it up, be able to get those resets early, be able to see what 01:49:21.500 --> 01:49:25.820 the defense is showing to help at least generate a rebound opportunity for his 01:49:25.820 --> 01:49:26.820 team. 01:49:26.820 --> 01:49:28.980 gets more midfield looks like that, 01:49:28.980 --> 01:49:31.340 or if NRG will amp up the pressure, 01:49:31.340 --> 01:49:32.740 try to win that boos game. 01:49:33.860 --> 01:49:35.940 Okay, now we have two-piece here in the midfield, 01:49:35.940 --> 01:49:38.860 it's on Burdus, looking for possession off kickoff. 01:49:38.860 --> 01:49:42.580 Game two, up for Ben Temple, NRG up 1-0 in the series, 01:49:42.580 --> 01:49:44.260 and Beast mode up in the sky, 01:49:44.260 --> 01:49:46.340 he's looking for a way through, 01:49:46.340 --> 01:49:47.660 they get it to the back wall, 01:49:47.660 --> 01:49:50.540 but Burdus throws, defense is there. 01:49:50.540 --> 01:49:51.940 Now they're trying to get their way out, 01:49:51.940 --> 01:49:54.500 but you see these 50s pushing the ball away from Burdus, 01:49:54.500 --> 01:49:57.940 It's so hard for them to guard. 01:49:57.940 --> 01:50:00.620 Maybe low boost has to go for the bang. 01:50:00.620 --> 01:50:02.740 Daniel, what a catch into an air dribble. 01:50:02.740 --> 01:50:05.380 We'll set it up for Atomic. 01:50:05.380 --> 01:50:06.060 We'll rebound it. 01:50:06.060 --> 01:50:07.820 Daniel goes for the backboard pass, 01:50:07.820 --> 01:50:10.460 tries to get in the bumping lane. 01:50:10.460 --> 01:50:13.540 We're already seeing early pressure be put on for Ben Arcana. 01:50:13.540 --> 01:50:15.380 Look at that touch for Beastmo. 01:50:15.380 --> 01:50:19.380 Yeah, great scam for Beastmo. 01:50:19.380 --> 01:50:23.060 He's looking really good over the course of this weekend. 01:50:23.060 --> 01:50:24.220 He gets one today. 01:50:24.220 --> 01:50:28.460 I mean, it's trouble for everybody on this bracket 01:50:28.460 --> 01:50:30.740 is a little awkward from NRG. 01:50:30.740 --> 01:50:34.220 Get touch there from Daniel to get that from working the net. 01:50:34.220 --> 01:50:38.220 Now B-Smo to Tom Egg, no, cut out from Tom to the midfield. 01:50:38.220 --> 01:50:39.540 Daniel will get a win there. 01:50:39.540 --> 01:50:42.500 Sending it all the way down to get the follow-up touch high. 01:50:42.500 --> 01:50:45.220 Atomic can't get past two-piece here. 01:50:45.220 --> 01:50:47.340 But NRG's so quick in the air, 01:50:47.340 --> 01:50:48.900 and they're looking for each other. 01:50:48.900 --> 01:50:51.620 B-Smo trying to get it back to Tom Egg on the side wall. 01:50:51.620 --> 01:50:53.620 first pro doing a good job of cutting it out. 01:50:53.620 --> 01:50:55.780 And he's still NRG just keeping that pressure. 01:50:55.780 --> 01:50:57.700 Would they keep this ball on the blue hat? 01:50:57.700 --> 01:51:01.020 But you saw how Daniel turned off the challenge on that. 01:51:01.020 --> 01:51:03.380 And it got the deep ends to bite, 01:51:03.380 --> 01:51:04.540 and they hit the ball back. 01:51:04.540 --> 01:51:09.380 So we're seeing NRG not only use misdirection on the shot, 01:51:09.380 --> 01:51:10.980 but also how they're approaching 01:51:10.980 --> 01:51:13.820 that ball in the corner. 01:51:13.820 --> 01:51:18.140 Two-piece fake to talk, and a Tomic, a good cut out. 01:51:18.140 --> 01:51:19.580 Tomic might be needed again. 01:51:19.580 --> 01:51:21.780 Beast Mode does get a nice high pop, 01:51:21.780 --> 01:51:22.780 talk of fate challenge. 01:51:22.780 --> 01:51:24.820 You see Daniel putting a shot on 01:51:24.820 --> 01:51:27.060 and plays that ball off his own back wall, 01:51:27.060 --> 01:51:29.620 picks up the save, that'll be his second save of the game. 01:51:29.620 --> 01:51:31.620 NRG now still with that possession, 01:51:31.620 --> 01:51:35.380 is Beast Mode trying to squeeze a cloud right off the post 01:51:35.380 --> 01:51:38.340 and it'll go back into the midfield, 01:51:38.340 --> 01:51:41.380 close chance there, but the shot not good enough. 01:51:41.380 --> 01:51:43.260 Another demo from behind by Beast Mode, 01:51:43.260 --> 01:51:46.580 but that was a good break out from VP. 01:51:46.580 --> 01:51:47.420 That looked threatening, 01:51:47.420 --> 01:51:49.500 looked like it had some teeth for a moment. 01:51:49.500 --> 01:51:52.960 That was a flash in the pan and so far all game 01:51:52.960 --> 01:51:55.240 or all this game has been NRG on attack. 01:51:58.040 --> 01:52:02.020 All right off the ceiling, a deal but the shot's not on. 01:52:02.020 --> 01:52:05.940 Good idea from NRG, executions with solid deal. 01:52:05.940 --> 01:52:09.060 Again, maybe a chance and tries to put it behind two piece 01:52:09.060 --> 01:52:11.260 but two piece parked the bus. 01:52:11.260 --> 01:52:14.060 I take a pre-jump that will tap it back to B-Sport 01:52:14.060 --> 01:52:16.020 and can't get boost because of it. 01:52:16.020 --> 01:52:18.580 But that was a good look at the setup from NRG. 01:52:18.580 --> 01:52:20.540 The shot actually let him down. 01:52:20.540 --> 01:52:21.940 Nobody had loose on VP. 01:52:21.940 --> 01:52:24.420 You need to get that shot elevated with power. 01:52:24.420 --> 01:52:25.420 And the opposite happened. 01:52:25.420 --> 01:52:27.900 So I'm sure Danny will want that one back. 01:52:27.900 --> 01:52:32.540 Currently six shots to two in favor of NRG. 01:52:32.540 --> 01:52:34.860 As it's been a slow game for Verdes 01:52:34.860 --> 01:52:36.780 and the pressure still mounts. 01:52:36.780 --> 01:52:40.300 Wavy with 42 points at this point. 01:52:40.300 --> 01:52:42.220 Just goes to show you how much Verdes 01:52:42.220 --> 01:52:44.500 has been stuck on the defensive end. 01:52:44.500 --> 01:52:45.700 There's another box happening. 01:52:45.700 --> 01:52:46.540 And talk! 01:52:46.540 --> 01:52:47.660 He gets another save. 01:52:47.660 --> 01:52:49.460 That's his fourth staple of the game. 01:52:49.460 --> 01:52:52.820 Off the respawn as well, but it's still getting dangerous. 01:52:52.820 --> 01:52:54.940 That one off the bar, Tomic. 01:52:54.940 --> 01:52:56.620 Going for goal, hits off the corner. 01:52:56.620 --> 01:52:59.700 Hard talk with a pass over to two P's who stays alive. 01:52:59.700 --> 01:53:01.700 And we've seen this from VP before, 01:53:01.700 --> 01:53:03.140 where this playing NRG. 01:53:03.140 --> 01:53:05.740 NRG is taking shot after shot after shot. 01:53:05.740 --> 01:53:08.540 But VP is making save after save after save. 01:53:08.540 --> 01:53:10.540 We've seen them steal games like this 01:53:10.540 --> 01:53:11.980 by scoring on the counterattack, 01:53:11.980 --> 01:53:14.460 despite playing defense all game. 01:53:14.460 --> 01:53:16.140 Virtus.Pro have been surviving. 01:53:16.140 --> 01:53:18.980 Now they might have a chance to strike here. 01:53:18.980 --> 01:53:20.100 Can talk at this center. 01:53:20.100 --> 01:53:22.700 No, two-piece, the only one with boosts. 01:53:22.700 --> 01:53:23.540 Candy stopped the arrow. 01:53:23.540 --> 01:53:26.940 He's reversing, and we'll just get an air of touch there. 01:53:26.940 --> 01:53:28.420 Little bit of K-dots, first throw. 01:53:28.420 --> 01:53:30.620 There you go, Beast Mode strikes! 01:53:31.860 --> 01:53:34.940 Beast Mode, pounces on this, talk was in net. 01:53:34.940 --> 01:53:39.100 Did not expect Beast Mode to go for this ball so quickly. 01:53:39.100 --> 01:53:43.060 Beast Mode, incredibly fast to get up there. 01:53:43.060 --> 01:53:45.820 You saw him go for the one pitch off the post earlier. 01:53:45.820 --> 01:53:49.500 This time doesn't miss a beat getting that one off the bar and in. 01:53:51.260 --> 01:53:54.220 He's my own picks up the first one. 01:53:54.220 --> 01:53:56.260 That was his second shot of the game. 01:53:57.180 --> 01:54:00.940 And now at our GF by one still in the rebel possibility for 01:54:00.940 --> 01:54:03.860 furnace, but this game has not looked like theirs at all. 01:54:03.860 --> 01:54:07.540 They've been trying to survive and they haven't been able to get 01:54:07.540 --> 01:54:10.220 anything on offense until the jump. 01:54:10.220 --> 01:54:11.620 When he's straight down talk to them. 01:54:11.620 --> 01:54:12.740 Who's he can't go? 01:54:12.740 --> 01:54:17.140 Daniel, light touch, 1-1-50 and a double commit on the side of Curtis. 01:54:17.140 --> 01:54:22.540 Now that will get sent away, and Wavy will have to play off his old back wall. 01:54:22.540 --> 01:54:25.340 Only 15 seconds left to go on Regulation James. 01:54:25.340 --> 01:54:29.140 Yeah, it's been an action back and forth quite a bit. 01:54:29.140 --> 01:54:31.740 Daniel trying to get a late goal to secure it. 01:54:31.740 --> 01:54:34.540 You see, Curtis, bro, trying to break out. 01:54:34.540 --> 01:54:37.540 Atomic peels off, but hits it right to Wavy. 01:54:37.540 --> 01:54:42.540 Wavy though gets bumped off the ball, and that one will sail downfield safely. 01:54:42.540 --> 01:54:53.100 to the ground. We've got another game win for NRG. Now NRG up. 2-0 in the series. Oh man, 01:54:53.100 --> 01:54:57.100 it's just so unfortunate because like their pressure was so strong, 01:54:57.100 --> 01:55:01.900 Virtus couldn't get out at all. Wavy was capped at 98 points, couldn't break triple digits. 01:55:02.540 --> 01:55:06.940 Meanwhile, Tauk couldn't get a single shot on at four saves. Only two saves, 01:55:06.940 --> 01:55:12.300 or two shots I should say, out of Virtus here. NRG were just a complete control and 01:55:12.300 --> 01:55:13.580 Yeah, I don't want to hurt that. 01:55:13.580 --> 01:55:15.380 That combination, Vertus with the timeout. 01:55:15.380 --> 01:55:17.700 Yeah, you need it when Daniel, this game, 01:55:17.700 --> 01:55:20.420 has more shots than your entire team combined 01:55:20.420 --> 01:55:22.260 for the entire series. 01:55:22.260 --> 01:55:24.980 Two shots from two-piece last game, 01:55:24.980 --> 01:55:26.340 one shot from two-piece this game, 01:55:26.340 --> 01:55:31.540 one shot from maybe four total shots in two games. 01:55:31.540 --> 01:55:32.040 Yeah. 01:55:32.040 --> 01:55:34.740 It has been defense simulator for Vertus Pro. 01:55:34.740 --> 01:55:36.220 And the thing that's kind of crazy 01:55:36.220 --> 01:55:38.820 is that Vertus Pro was still in that game 01:55:38.820 --> 01:55:41.020 until the final minute when B-Sport was able to put that 01:55:41.020 --> 01:55:45.060 And even still had some chances in the final moments. 01:55:45.060 --> 01:55:49.220 Virtus. Pro, their defense has been doing pretty well right now. 01:55:49.220 --> 01:55:51.900 It's just offensively they need that spark. 01:55:51.900 --> 01:55:53.060 It hasn't been there. 01:55:53.060 --> 01:55:56.220 They did have success against NRG playing the counterattack 01:55:56.220 --> 01:55:56.720 playstyle. 01:55:56.720 --> 01:55:57.900 They turtled up quite a bit. 01:55:57.900 --> 01:56:02.020 They had some huge overtime wins against NRG earlier 01:56:02.020 --> 01:56:04.340 in this event, thanks to their amazing defense 01:56:04.340 --> 01:56:07.140 and just finding that quick hit on the other side. 01:56:07.140 --> 01:56:11.340 but you're just seeing NRG amp up the pressure even more. 01:56:11.340 --> 01:56:14.160 But even still, despite all of that, 01:56:14.160 --> 01:56:15.400 Virtus.Pro still being in it, 01:56:15.400 --> 01:56:17.520 you saw that shot opportunity from NRG. 01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:19.120 The shot wasn't that great either. 01:56:19.120 --> 01:56:21.320 So the possession was there. 01:56:21.320 --> 01:56:23.320 The finishing also wasn't as perfect 01:56:23.320 --> 01:56:25.080 as it could be for NRG. 01:56:25.080 --> 01:56:28.760 However, big pictured as this has been 01:56:28.760 --> 01:56:31.000 a dominating possession performance. 01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:31.840 Yes. 01:56:31.840 --> 01:56:35.240 I think the biggest thing is to emphasize possession 01:56:35.240 --> 01:56:37.560 Because that is the only takeaway here. 01:56:37.560 --> 01:56:40.600 Virtus. Pearl, I don't have the map. 01:56:40.600 --> 01:56:42.000 I don't have the actual percentage, 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.120 but it felt like they were in defense 01:56:44.120 --> 01:56:48.740 for maybe over 75%, if not 75% of that game. 01:56:49.700 --> 01:56:53.000 And for them to be able to defense for that long 01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:55.680 and only be a one goal game 01:56:55.680 --> 01:56:57.520 is indicative of something, right? 01:56:57.520 --> 01:56:59.960 It's indicative that they can hold on for pressure. 01:56:59.960 --> 01:57:02.160 They can't play an entire game of that though, 01:57:02.160 --> 01:57:03.880 clearly, obviously. 01:57:03.880 --> 01:57:06.320 And one of the things they're going to have to change, 01:57:06.320 --> 01:57:07.880 they're going to try to, or they're 01:57:07.880 --> 01:57:10.680 going to need to trust those reads on when NRG is going 01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:11.680 for a misdirection play. 01:57:11.680 --> 01:57:14.280 Because we've seen NRG multiple times, 01:57:14.280 --> 01:57:15.800 fake the challenges in the corner, 01:57:15.800 --> 01:57:18.560 and bait the clear hit out of Virtus.Pro. 01:57:18.560 --> 01:57:20.600 And you're just giving away the ball at that point, 01:57:20.600 --> 01:57:22.280 making the possession game even worse. 01:57:22.280 --> 01:57:24.040 So you're going to have to try to trust your gut 01:57:24.040 --> 01:57:25.080 on those reads. 01:57:25.080 --> 01:57:27.000 You know, maybe call NRG on a bluff 01:57:27.000 --> 01:57:29.680 to try to get a little bit more possession on the ball 01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:31.480 and get something going. 01:57:31.480 --> 01:57:38.260 We talked about wavy not being able to break a hundred actually don't it all depends on what's going on wavy is very good off ball 01:57:38.260 --> 01:57:42.700 So it's one of those things if wavy is just this rough day and he can get you know 01:57:42.700 --> 01:57:45.780 Bruce deals from in RG get some bumps make them uncomfortable 01:57:45.820 --> 01:57:50.960 Then I don't mind that that like particular score line because those things aren't necessarily 01:57:51.460 --> 01:57:56.980 Quantified by points. We need to see something though to throw off this in our G office. Yeah 01:57:56.980 --> 01:58:01.620 Well, unfortunately from first point this point, you know, that no game wins aren't quantified by goals 01:58:02.980 --> 01:58:04.980 Are desperate either those yeah 01:58:06.020 --> 01:58:11.700 Lucy leaving now atop the ball for three sets atomic drops it does still the corner looks for above 01:58:11.700 --> 01:58:17.060 There's a double commit between atomic and beast mode. Atop of the top of all here's Daniel throwing a shot towards 01:58:19.940 --> 01:58:25.700 Another hot start here for NRG in the first minute atomic the free flip challenge gets in the mix again 01:58:25.700 --> 01:58:32.000 allowing Daniel to clean up that rebound and that's another thing that NRG has been doing really well is they know 01:58:32.360 --> 01:58:37.500 Exactly how effective they can be on low boost atomic. He didn't rotate out. He didn't fake challenge 01:58:37.700 --> 01:58:43.020 He kept going for that ball despite having nothing in the tank and that led to a rebound opportunity that Daniel put away 01:58:44.660 --> 01:58:48.980 Not what you want to see right after a time out there on the side of Virtus Pro 01:58:50.540 --> 01:58:54.320 Again, not necessarily super in sync as Daniel wants to create again 01:58:55.700 --> 01:59:00.260 It'll be two-piece though trying to put a shot on laser two-piece 01:59:03.060 --> 01:59:10.660 The first goal of the game for bird is pro and it is gorgeous a hard hit and a perfect double tap from two-piece 01:59:10.660 --> 01:59:17.300 He had hardly any boost in the tank to get that double that first touch has to be perfect 01:59:17.300 --> 01:59:20.980 The amazing thing about that shot was the first touch 01:59:20.980 --> 01:59:25.980 You're one. That's so much power on it. 01:59:25.980 --> 01:59:29.980 And the pass from Wavy was scorching, too. 01:59:29.980 --> 01:59:32.980 That was a great start to Virtus' offense. 01:59:32.980 --> 01:59:35.980 Great first goal of the series for them. 01:59:35.980 --> 01:59:37.980 Can Dagen continue to build that? 01:59:37.980 --> 01:59:39.980 That is one of those goals that could get the momentum going. 01:59:39.980 --> 01:59:41.980 We see Wavy trying to assist the talk. 01:59:41.980 --> 01:59:45.980 Talk. Yeah, they're moving a lot of pace now here, James. 01:59:45.980 --> 01:59:49.980 It looks like that spark has finally happened for Virtus Pro. 01:59:49.980 --> 01:59:57.340 Will they catch fire talk trying to get something going the reset down to the ground goes for a 50 now up for two piece to work 01:59:57.340 --> 02:00:00.420 He got the reset as well. I'm boss in the mix trying to get a bump 02:00:02.500 --> 02:00:06.140 In looking one there off the back wall talk wow first touch with reset there 02:00:06.140 --> 02:00:10.620 Got a bit of a dump there on these moments. I'm gonna get the pop up these mode again 02:00:10.980 --> 02:00:12.980 Not able to find it themselves, but Daniel 02:00:13.580 --> 02:00:15.500 Almost hit the top left corner 02:00:15.500 --> 02:00:21.580 Not enough a comic wants to keep this ball in but a lot of distance here between the ball and an RG 02:00:22.340 --> 02:00:27.980 Beast mode keeps it through but now furnace able to get boosted up. They are in a tough spot a comic 02:00:27.980 --> 02:00:31.860 Top left. No blocked away by waving more good defense for bird is pro 02:00:32.340 --> 02:00:35.540 And also the shooting for Daniel has been coming up just a little short 02:00:35.540 --> 02:00:37.780 You saw that setup for the beast voting 02:00:37.780 --> 02:00:42.020 He shows the double tap the defense respects it gives Daniel the open look 02:00:42.020 --> 02:00:44.660 He just has not been able to find the mark. 02:00:44.660 --> 02:00:47.660 So Daniel's shooting accuracy. 02:00:47.660 --> 02:00:49.940 That is cost energy in this one. 02:00:49.940 --> 02:00:52.660 See if it costs him the game. 02:00:52.660 --> 02:00:54.260 The lady wants to pass the talk. 02:00:54.260 --> 02:00:56.100 Daniel there to intercept. 02:00:56.100 --> 02:00:58.300 Two piece looking for the cut. 02:00:58.300 --> 02:00:59.300 Game play to the side. 02:00:59.300 --> 02:01:00.800 The two bees got to pick up the boost. 02:01:00.800 --> 02:01:02.060 Got him up on the economy. 02:01:02.060 --> 02:01:03.180 Can't find the double note. 02:01:03.180 --> 02:01:04.300 Beastmole denies. 02:01:04.300 --> 02:01:05.460 He looks for another touch. 02:01:05.460 --> 02:01:08.020 The way he recognized the danger got there quickly. 02:01:08.020 --> 02:01:10.300 Now it's energy a little bit low on boost here. 02:01:10.300 --> 02:01:12.760 There's beast mode going to be able to play for the moment. 02:01:12.760 --> 02:01:14.960 Vertis is looking to capitalize on this. 02:01:14.960 --> 02:01:16.680 Big touch from beast mode. 02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:18.920 And now Vertis passed two-piece to Wavy. 02:01:18.920 --> 02:01:21.680 Looking for talk on the other side cut out, though. 02:01:21.680 --> 02:01:24.400 And RG not trying to give up this game easily, 02:01:24.400 --> 02:01:25.600 but it does feel like they're starting 02:01:25.600 --> 02:01:27.200 to go in the back for here, James. 02:01:27.200 --> 02:01:28.640 But you're seeing Wavy move up the field 02:01:28.640 --> 02:01:30.200 into those corners, landing bumps. 02:01:30.200 --> 02:01:31.440 NRG's getting low on boost. 02:01:31.440 --> 02:01:33.840 And these key moments also talk doing a great job 02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:35.440 denying that sidewall double earlier. 02:01:35.440 --> 02:01:38.080 You're starting to see Vertis pro have success 02:01:38.080 --> 02:01:39.720 getting this ball past the midfield 02:01:39.720 --> 02:01:41.160 and spent some time on attack. 02:01:43.600 --> 02:01:45.120 Big demo as well. 02:01:45.120 --> 02:01:49.120 Wavy's standing on it, flip reset to Daniel. 02:01:49.120 --> 02:01:52.920 Daniel now, where he keeps it low, plays it high, 02:01:52.920 --> 02:01:56.040 ends up winning the 50 against two-piece. 02:01:56.040 --> 02:01:57.760 It's Hawke looking for Wavy and, 02:01:57.760 --> 02:02:00.200 no, Atomic gets in the middle of that. 02:02:00.200 --> 02:02:02.560 And RG have done a good job of getting these cuts. 02:02:02.560 --> 02:02:05.480 We haven't seen them on offense for quite some time 02:02:05.480 --> 02:02:07.080 as they've been just managing the play. 02:02:07.080 --> 02:02:08.200 He's had me touches from Vsmo, 02:02:08.200 --> 02:02:11.440 Get away from him, but maybe Atomic J tries to fake it for Daniel, 02:02:11.440 --> 02:02:14.920 but Tuck thought it perfectly to get in between it. 02:02:14.920 --> 02:02:17.080 And it's still, it's time out the field, 02:02:17.080 --> 02:02:18.320 Atomic will pinch it across. 02:02:18.320 --> 02:02:20.800 Sometimes NRG, when they get in those situations, 02:02:20.800 --> 02:02:22.440 they're more just trying to play cheap away. 02:02:22.440 --> 02:02:23.960 They don't really care where they hit it, 02:02:23.960 --> 02:02:27.800 as long as it's away from the opposing players. 02:02:27.800 --> 02:02:30.360 Two-piece challenge there now, Atomic. 02:02:30.360 --> 02:02:31.640 It has a free ball airborne. 02:02:31.640 --> 02:02:32.520 Going to the ball. 02:02:32.520 --> 02:02:33.880 There's the shot! 02:02:33.880 --> 02:02:35.440 Again, just a target. 02:02:35.440 --> 02:02:38.500 Daniel Vaughn will hit it good. 02:02:38.500 --> 02:02:41.040 And he strikes solid right into the net. 02:02:41.040 --> 02:02:43.480 Beautifully done by Daniel and a great team play 02:02:43.480 --> 02:02:44.920 as well from NRG. 02:02:44.920 --> 02:02:47.880 This is why the battle for midfield is so important. 02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:50.800 You knew as soon as Atomic had the ball on the hood, 02:02:50.800 --> 02:02:52.720 something dangerous was coming. 02:02:52.720 --> 02:02:55.200 Once B-Smo got to the air, confirmed it. 02:02:55.200 --> 02:02:57.760 And Dale in the right position at the right time. 02:02:57.760 --> 02:03:00.800 Curtis Pro, so much pressure just to give up 02:03:00.800 --> 02:03:03.120 one late 20 seconds here. 02:03:03.120 --> 02:03:11.720 They got to get up the field, otherwise this game is going to be over and NRG are going to be on match point 10 seconds now. 02:03:11.720 --> 02:03:17.120 Two-piece, let's it go. Atomic trying to kill time, no boost for two-piece. 02:03:17.120 --> 02:03:20.080 Wavy gets the bump, Toc wants to get the pop. 02:03:20.080 --> 02:03:22.240 Beast mode intercept from the Toc gets past Beast mode. 02:03:22.240 --> 02:03:24.080 Place the low, last of all, the low! 02:03:24.080 --> 02:03:28.080 Fly, Toc, goooood! 02:03:28.080 --> 02:03:31.040 A remarkable goal from Toc! 02:03:31.040 --> 02:03:32.640 Top gets the reset. 02:03:32.640 --> 02:03:38.080 Wave dashes into the dribble to keep the ball up. 02:03:38.080 --> 02:03:42.600 Virtus. Pro stole games from NRG earlier this weekend. 02:03:42.600 --> 02:03:45.400 They have a chance to steal one now. 02:03:45.400 --> 02:03:48.160 We got overtime here. 02:03:48.160 --> 02:03:51.000 Virtus. Pro lost win situation. 02:03:51.000 --> 02:03:52.440 I mean, if they go down 3-0, I 02:03:52.440 --> 02:03:54.720 don't think they're reverse-wipping NRG here. 02:03:54.720 --> 02:03:57.840 Not a championship Sunday. 02:03:57.840 --> 02:04:00.400 The pressure's on. 02:04:00.400 --> 02:04:01.400 Oh, lots of pads. 02:04:01.400 --> 02:04:04.920 Atomic opted not to go to the middle of the field. 02:04:04.920 --> 02:04:06.120 I think that was the right call. 02:04:06.120 --> 02:04:07.040 Just go for the sidewall. 02:04:07.040 --> 02:04:08.560 Now has to be careful. 02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:09.960 Numbers advantage for Ferdist Pro, 02:04:09.960 --> 02:04:14.400 but Atomic stays cool under pressure. 02:04:14.400 --> 02:04:16.520 2P sends it across. 02:04:16.520 --> 02:04:19.440 Good read from Tocque. 02:04:19.440 --> 02:04:20.800 That one gets away from 2Ps. 02:04:20.800 --> 02:04:23.920 Needs to leave it for Wavy, and he does. 02:04:23.920 --> 02:04:25.800 These Mote 2Ps get tangled up in the back corner. 02:04:25.800 --> 02:04:26.600 Wavy pop over 1. 02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:28.480 Oh my god, this Tocque was up so early. 02:04:28.480 --> 02:04:30.000 Damn, didn't have a chance. 02:04:30.000 --> 02:04:31.720 2Bs want to play it close. 02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:33.520 Good cut from Atomic. 02:04:33.520 --> 02:04:35.520 They'll stay on it, playing a 50-out beast mode. 02:04:35.520 --> 02:04:36.560 Great follow, second man. 02:04:36.560 --> 02:04:38.600 Wavey was a little awkward, played it high. 02:04:38.600 --> 02:04:40.040 And demo's beast mode. 02:04:40.040 --> 02:04:41.840 So good for getting vertice base. 02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:45.040 Now they can work up the field. 02:04:45.040 --> 02:04:48.840 Paw goes low, trying to stay behind it for a 50 beast mode. 02:04:48.840 --> 02:04:51.200 Trying to fight this battle in the corner. 02:04:51.200 --> 02:04:52.160 2Bs staying in it. 02:04:52.160 --> 02:04:52.960 This is a good bounce. 02:04:52.960 --> 02:04:54.760 Wavey, though, didn't go up. 02:04:54.760 --> 02:04:57.280 4Dow gets bumped off the ball. 02:04:57.280 --> 02:04:59.000 But Paw, still threat. 02:04:59.000 --> 02:05:00.800 Oh, the numbers advantage on the other end. 02:05:00.800 --> 02:05:01.800 There's a devil as well. 02:05:01.800 --> 02:05:03.800 NRG on the hunt. 02:05:03.800 --> 02:05:04.760 Beast mode. 02:05:04.760 --> 02:05:05.760 Trying to play along. 02:05:05.760 --> 02:05:07.320 Now he can pull off the defense. 02:05:07.320 --> 02:05:09.480 I think the net was open, but the ball just 02:05:09.480 --> 02:05:12.320 wasn't in a great spot for NRG to just score off of it. 02:05:12.320 --> 02:05:13.520 So they had to take time. 02:05:13.520 --> 02:05:15.320 It was just about time for the Berners to get back. 02:05:15.320 --> 02:05:16.200 Atomic pass one. 02:05:16.200 --> 02:05:18.280 Talk clears it away and forces Beast mode back. 02:05:18.280 --> 02:05:20.320 But Dale's there with the kite. 02:05:20.320 --> 02:05:21.600 Dale pops it high. 02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:24.040 Beast mode off ceiling, maybe to atomic. 02:05:24.040 --> 02:05:26.560 Atomic's waiting there on the wing to keep it in. 02:05:26.560 --> 02:05:28.240 And two-fies have to sit to the side. 02:05:28.240 --> 02:05:29.680 but he cannot get a hard touch. 02:05:29.680 --> 02:05:32.040 You see Daniel lurking there, but it's too hard. 02:05:32.040 --> 02:05:35.120 Daniel turning into a shot instantly. 02:05:35.120 --> 02:05:36.840 Atomic could go for a double. 02:05:36.840 --> 02:05:37.920 He's going for it. 02:05:37.920 --> 02:05:39.240 Atomic to 50. 02:05:39.240 --> 02:05:41.120 Talk his backwards on low boost. 02:05:41.120 --> 02:05:42.360 Back to the middle of the field. 02:05:42.360 --> 02:05:43.120 Daniel is there. 02:05:43.120 --> 02:05:45.000 David going for the high backward hit. 02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:46.760 Beast mode was floating as well. 02:05:46.760 --> 02:05:49.520 And RG still maintaining possession. 02:05:49.520 --> 02:05:51.240 Wavy goes off the ceiling for this one now. 02:05:51.240 --> 02:05:53.240 Drops his straight down, has a follow-up touch. 02:05:53.240 --> 02:05:54.200 Guy has one. 02:05:54.200 --> 02:05:55.200 Can he get another touch? 02:05:55.200 --> 02:05:56.240 Yes, man, the timing. 02:05:56.240 --> 02:05:57.240 Just on the goal line. 02:05:57.240 --> 02:06:00.320 No follow-up, two-piece drive to strike down the game. 02:06:00.320 --> 02:06:03.200 But it was too high, and now NRG looking the other way. 02:06:03.200 --> 02:06:04.520 It's a high ball here. 02:06:04.520 --> 02:06:06.320 As Atomic drops a straight down, Daniel 02:06:06.320 --> 02:06:07.640 will take it into the corner. 02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:09.360 But Daniel, he can't do anything there. 02:06:09.360 --> 02:06:11.560 Everybody from Virtus.Pro getting back. 02:06:11.560 --> 02:06:14.440 And Virtus.Pro surviving that defense. 02:06:14.440 --> 02:06:16.480 It's really working out for him this time. 02:06:16.480 --> 02:06:18.880 Daniel though from his own back wall flip reset, 02:06:18.880 --> 02:06:21.240 pushing it down in an air dribble. 02:06:21.240 --> 02:06:26.040 Atomic peels off, gets talked to space. 02:06:26.040 --> 02:06:30.880 All talk for Zillow, Wavy, good! 02:06:30.880 --> 02:06:33.760 You can't, can't talk that space! 02:06:33.760 --> 02:06:38.400 Get the reset, fight through contact, get the 50, 02:06:38.400 --> 02:06:40.840 the ball's sitting there on the goal line. 02:06:40.840 --> 02:06:44.600 Wavy the one did not get in, but that was all talk. 02:06:46.800 --> 02:06:51.800 And Bernice Pro, show up when they need to here 02:06:52.160 --> 02:06:54.200 in game three. 02:06:54.200 --> 02:06:56.200 Big performance is from everybody. 02:06:58.200 --> 02:07:02.200 This is when you start to get a little bit concerned for NRG. 02:07:02.200 --> 02:07:10.200 Because this same exact playbook, this same exact script happened in the earlier series. 02:07:10.200 --> 02:07:12.200 It looks like NRG was going to be dominant. 02:07:12.200 --> 02:07:17.200 They were winning in the final seconds, but somehow miracles happened. 02:07:17.200 --> 02:07:21.200 And you can't even forget how good talk was in the series. 02:07:21.200 --> 02:07:24.800 To be able to get that 0 second goal, perfect flip reset 02:07:24.800 --> 02:07:30.360 into a wave dash dribble at 0 seconds to force overtime. 02:07:30.360 --> 02:07:34.880 And in that play, I mean, I knew as soon as the timing turned. 02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:35.840 Uh-oh. 02:07:35.840 --> 02:07:37.600 And our jitter in trouble because talk 02:07:37.600 --> 02:07:40.040 is airborne with space and boost. 02:07:40.040 --> 02:07:42.000 You can't give this dude time. 02:07:42.000 --> 02:07:43.120 You can't give him space. 02:07:43.120 --> 02:07:45.560 He will hurt you. 02:07:45.560 --> 02:07:47.600 That was such a great performance. 02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:54.560 Look at that 50 though from Tom, Wavy, that's the reaction for winning that overtime goal. 02:07:54.560 --> 02:07:55.060 Virtus. 02:07:55.060 --> 02:07:57.280 Pro, I don't think they're satisfied just yet. 02:07:57.280 --> 02:07:59.640 Feels like for them, they finally walked into the series. 02:07:59.640 --> 02:08:02.240 Now they need to keep this play up. 02:08:02.240 --> 02:08:02.920 They certainly do. 02:08:02.920 --> 02:08:08.320 And it's just crazy how much things can change in a matter of seconds. 02:08:08.320 --> 02:08:13.760 We were seconds away from NRG being up 3-0, just getting ready. 02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:19.200 Go get in a snack, waiting to see how quick they're 02:08:19.200 --> 02:08:19.800 going to make it. 02:08:19.800 --> 02:08:24.160 But no, talk with a crazy 0-second play, 02:08:24.160 --> 02:08:27.680 a beautiful overtime play as well to help get the OT win. 02:08:27.680 --> 02:08:29.280 And now we've got a series. 02:08:29.280 --> 02:08:32.480 This is a ball game, Dads. 02:08:32.480 --> 02:08:35.600 These are going to start off kind of quiet here for game four. 02:08:35.600 --> 02:08:37.600 He's won a little awkward toss with two-piece plays 02:08:37.600 --> 02:08:38.520 of high. 02:08:38.520 --> 02:08:40.080 No follow there. 02:08:40.080 --> 02:08:42.240 At the time, they tried to play that to Daniel, 02:08:42.240 --> 02:08:46.400 But talk with a good cutout, felt like a time to rush that just a little bit. 02:08:47.120 --> 02:08:48.400 But he does get a good B here. 02:08:48.400 --> 02:08:51.360 Wavy last back, as the Beast is up high in the sky. 02:08:51.360 --> 02:08:52.360 Double it, Wavy! 02:08:52.360 --> 02:08:54.280 Straight read on that, Daniel! 02:08:54.280 --> 02:08:56.480 Try to see if that had waterfalled down. 02:08:56.480 --> 02:08:57.680 Get to everybody from Virtus. 02:08:57.680 --> 02:08:59.480 The two-piece able to recover. 02:08:59.480 --> 02:09:00.880 Daniel, the Beast, no! 02:09:00.880 --> 02:09:02.160 Wavy denies it. 02:09:02.160 --> 02:09:04.280 It was really close there from NRG. 02:09:05.040 --> 02:09:08.320 That was a triple attempt there from Beast's move, 02:09:08.320 --> 02:09:09.840 but the defense from Virtus. 02:09:09.840 --> 02:09:14.260 and Wavie continues to make these stops that he just can't believe. 02:09:14.260 --> 02:09:17.800 Another pass, broken up for his first defense. 02:09:17.800 --> 02:09:20.760 Again, getting the job done. 02:09:20.760 --> 02:09:22.040 They're kind of good flick there for Wavie. 02:09:22.040 --> 02:09:23.480 Two-piece, two-piece Atom. 02:09:23.480 --> 02:09:25.480 Commit the Wavie double commit. 02:09:25.480 --> 02:09:27.240 I don't know if they get punished for this one. 02:09:27.240 --> 02:09:29.240 Atomic, wait a second to Daniel. 02:09:29.240 --> 02:09:30.360 Wavie's still in net, though. 02:09:30.360 --> 02:09:32.320 Got back in time, high off the backboard. 02:09:32.320 --> 02:09:35.480 And Wavie, again, keeping Curtis in the game. 02:09:35.480 --> 02:09:37.560 He's had some clutch saves this game. 02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:39.680 And a clutch demo from two-piece as well. 02:09:39.680 --> 02:09:47.440 He demoed the player that was going to be taking the shot on that play, reading it far ahead of time. 02:09:47.440 --> 02:09:49.840 Excellent stuff from two-piece. 02:09:51.200 --> 02:09:54.240 Come all from Dale. Two-piece uses a lot of boost there. 02:09:55.120 --> 02:09:57.120 A Tomek wants to pick it up. 02:09:58.560 --> 02:10:01.280 It's awkward here and Dale, he'll have to wait. 02:10:01.280 --> 02:10:06.400 He's waiting on the side wall, he'll have to leave the play, so maybe he'll take control as it brings it into the NRAG tab. 02:10:06.400 --> 02:10:12.300 Virtus. Pro looking threatening here but both teams pretty low in the shooting 02:10:12.300 --> 02:10:16.480 department one shot a piece per team until that one there for Daniel not even 02:10:16.480 --> 02:10:20.680 really a threatening shot he was just bringing it towards the blue half. 02:10:20.680 --> 02:10:25.520 Now you can see the game playing out at the midfield right now battle for 02:10:25.520 --> 02:10:30.240 control before Virtus. Pro in the early game were pushed all the way back but 02:10:30.240 --> 02:10:34.760 now they've really established that presence in the midfield. 02:10:34.760 --> 02:10:39.720 Beast mode around one no talk get speed as well leaving two-piece last back 02:10:39.720 --> 02:10:45.480 Oh two-piece great recovery to get that pass one Tommy will turn to slow down 02:10:45.480 --> 02:10:49.960 Beast mode immediately goes in for the challenge and gets it now also gets 02:10:49.960 --> 02:10:53.320 another piece there as talk tried to take control he looked for a ball for 02:10:53.320 --> 02:10:58.120 wavy kind of just inadvertently forcing a double there's when he had to 02:10:58.120 --> 02:11:01.480 jump off a risk being demoed and that way be low boost trying to slow 02:11:01.480 --> 02:11:04.480 things down Daniel a beast mode in the corner looking to work and to get 02:11:04.480 --> 02:11:10.160 mid for Atomic. No two-piece denies. Not really too many chances. The ball's been played a lot in 02:11:10.160 --> 02:11:15.280 the corner here, so Wavy gets a little bit of space in the midfield, wants to get a bulk one game and 02:11:15.280 --> 02:11:23.360 could as much as he's been so efficient, James. They have it. I mean, that's crazy from Beast mode. 02:11:23.360 --> 02:11:29.200 He keeps going for displays. They just don't seem human. I thought he might even be getting a reset 02:11:29.200 --> 02:11:35.000 there. The level of play very high right now. There's a demo. The midfield day. 02:11:35.000 --> 02:11:38.660 We're going to try to get back to it with a talk of play boom ball. In those key 02:11:38.660 --> 02:11:42.280 moments where it looks like VP's defense is finally going to get beat, somebody's 02:11:42.280 --> 02:11:45.680 stepping up whether you know it's covering for a cheat hit that's getting 02:11:45.680 --> 02:11:49.720 demoed or just making the play. Making multiple attackers miss the ball. 02:11:49.720 --> 02:11:55.920 Curtis Crowe, they keep wiggling their way out of these attacks. Yes, Wavy. 02:11:55.920 --> 02:11:58.000 He wants to sneak a shot through. 02:11:58.000 --> 02:12:00.240 Beastmo got the demo. 02:12:00.240 --> 02:12:03.920 Now NRG working up the midfield. 02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:07.000 Wavy comes back and immediately is in front of the ball. 02:12:07.000 --> 02:12:08.560 And with this space, Beastmo not going 02:12:08.560 --> 02:12:09.320 to be able to follow it. 02:12:09.320 --> 02:12:10.560 Two-piece with a little room here. 02:12:10.560 --> 02:12:12.160 Misty, that's Wavy on the wing. 02:12:12.160 --> 02:12:13.720 One, it's going to pass to him. 02:12:13.720 --> 02:12:14.720 But Dan would have cut. 02:12:14.720 --> 02:12:16.800 Dan would have been able to beat the entire team. 02:12:16.800 --> 02:12:19.920 Dan puts it towards center, but Wavy back in time. 02:12:19.920 --> 02:12:23.080 Really excellent effort there from Daniel. 02:12:23.080 --> 02:12:24.160 Trying to get that towards that. 02:12:24.160 --> 02:12:25.760 Almost got the job done. 02:12:25.760 --> 02:12:29.440 Now shot, and he shot, Bins! 02:12:29.440 --> 02:12:32.080 Daniel puts in Archie ahead. 02:12:32.080 --> 02:12:33.600 This game has been so tense. 02:12:33.600 --> 02:12:35.920 We haven't seen clean shots, so Daniel knew. 02:12:35.920 --> 02:12:40.120 He had to make that one count, and he did right over the defense. 02:12:40.120 --> 02:12:41.840 And it's not an easy shot. 02:12:41.840 --> 02:12:43.280 I mean, you have to hit that ball. 02:12:43.280 --> 02:12:44.960 It's barely bouncing. 02:12:44.960 --> 02:12:47.840 To be able to get that just underneath the crossbar, 02:12:47.840 --> 02:12:50.920 but over the defender, that was a perfect shot. 02:12:50.920 --> 02:12:53.360 I was critical of energy shooting before, 02:12:53.360 --> 02:12:57.160 But that shot was perfection. 02:12:57.160 --> 02:13:00.000 Now, Curtis, down in the game, when 02:13:00.000 --> 02:13:03.280 we see late game heroics again, Tawk 02:13:03.280 --> 02:13:05.000 needs to cut his gale right under him. 02:13:05.000 --> 02:13:06.080 Gale takes the boost. 02:13:06.080 --> 02:13:09.240 Let's work one more two-piece, two-piece in a great spot. 02:13:09.240 --> 02:13:11.280 There's now two-piece. 02:13:11.280 --> 02:13:13.320 Still staying on the top of this one, though. 02:13:13.320 --> 02:13:15.960 Gets a two heavy of a hit, and now Tawk, 02:13:15.960 --> 02:13:17.640 you have to try to pick it up. 02:13:17.640 --> 02:13:20.960 Beast mode, playing it close. 02:13:20.960 --> 02:13:22.520 Just trying to kill the clock here. 02:13:22.520 --> 02:13:26.840 Final 15, and Verna showing no signs of getting a field. 02:13:26.840 --> 02:13:29.160 They've got it from Atomic, but Atomic gets to beat my talk. 02:13:29.160 --> 02:13:29.920 Talk. 02:13:29.920 --> 02:13:32.920 The one who did him in last time, the flick, isn't hard. 02:13:32.920 --> 02:13:34.560 It allows NRG to get a clear off, 02:13:34.560 --> 02:13:36.600 but two-piece will get the ball back in, 02:13:36.600 --> 02:13:38.680 and now that ball right to Daniel. 02:13:38.680 --> 02:13:41.080 Two-piece tries to keep it airborne, 02:13:41.080 --> 02:13:46.600 but that will be NRG rocking their third game win. 02:13:46.600 --> 02:13:49.240 And this series has been close games, 02:13:49.240 --> 02:13:52.940 But Curtis not able to sneak a win there, 02:13:52.940 --> 02:13:57.940 only limited to one shot that game as NRG hunkered down. 02:13:59.580 --> 02:14:03.960 But that's been kind of the ever game in this series. 02:14:03.960 --> 02:14:07.080 It's felt like low shots for Curtis Pro, 02:14:07.080 --> 02:14:10.000 but still just one goal gains. 02:14:10.000 --> 02:14:14.520 And on the NRG, they won game one with two goals. 02:14:14.520 --> 02:14:16.200 They won game two with a single goal. 02:14:16.200 --> 02:14:18.960 They won this game with a single goal. 02:14:18.960 --> 02:14:19.920 It's tight. 02:14:19.920 --> 02:14:22.080 Yes, they're not getting many shots on net, 02:14:22.080 --> 02:14:26.360 but the game plan isn't so far off for Verzpro 02:14:26.360 --> 02:14:27.680 to be able to withstand that pressure, 02:14:27.680 --> 02:14:29.800 try to find those gaps in the defense, make it happen. 02:14:29.800 --> 02:14:31.760 But at the same time, you're going 02:14:31.760 --> 02:14:35.920 to have to hope that NRG isn't able to slot those shots. 02:14:35.920 --> 02:14:38.720 In this game, it was that single slot from Daniel 02:14:38.720 --> 02:14:40.160 that made the difference. 02:14:40.160 --> 02:14:42.440 He missed a few opportunities before, 02:14:42.440 --> 02:14:44.640 but in a big moment in this series, 02:14:44.640 --> 02:14:47.520 he came through for NRG. 02:14:47.520 --> 02:14:52.440 And we ended up seeing a 3-1 comeback earlier. 02:14:52.440 --> 02:14:56.080 It was against, I think it was SSG-Verdus? 02:14:56.080 --> 02:14:59.040 That would have been a good way for Verdus Pro. 02:14:59.040 --> 02:15:02.000 Maybe they can change that around. 02:15:02.000 --> 02:15:05.080 We'll have to see, but again, no timeouts, close game here. 02:15:06.040 --> 02:15:08.320 If Venus NRG team before, but again, 02:15:08.320 --> 02:15:11.800 championship Sunday wins are the one that eludes them. 02:15:11.800 --> 02:15:12.960 Here we go. 02:15:12.960 --> 02:15:15.640 Will we have a closed out game here for NRG? 02:15:15.640 --> 02:15:18.040 Oh, well, Virtus.Pro take us to Neo Tokyo. 02:15:20.920 --> 02:15:25.360 Already we see possession for NRG off kickoff and pocket and beat to the ball. 02:15:30.360 --> 02:15:32.040 Wavy on a sideflip from Wavy. 02:15:32.040 --> 02:15:33.160 That is not what you need. 02:15:33.160 --> 02:15:36.320 Fortunately for Virtus.Pro, Tuck is there, but he doesn't get the hit. 02:15:36.560 --> 02:15:38.480 And now Virtus.Pro are vulnerable. 02:15:39.000 --> 02:15:39.840 Oh, got one. 02:15:39.840 --> 02:15:40.720 Oh, the pulse! 02:15:40.720 --> 02:15:42.800 Clean up by Beach Mode! 02:15:42.800 --> 02:15:54.240 What pressure there as Dan, great touch talk, was awkward at beast mode, slides it through, 02:15:54.240 --> 02:15:56.700 and RG definitive early strike. 02:15:56.700 --> 02:15:57.700 Yeah man. 02:15:57.700 --> 02:16:03.880 Disappointing start for Virtus Pro, you saw the side foot from Wavy, the challenge that 02:16:03.880 --> 02:16:07.960 didn't go well for a talk, things not looking good out of the gate. 02:16:07.960 --> 02:16:12.080 Now quit getting worse, but talk, we'll get the stuff on beast mode. 02:16:12.080 --> 02:16:16.080 Wavy to two-piece and no cutaway from Atomic. 02:16:16.080 --> 02:16:20.080 Daniel, light touch. 02:16:20.080 --> 02:16:26.080 Oh, Wavy forcing B-SpaO to get up there and NRG now. 02:16:26.080 --> 02:16:28.080 Looking for more. 02:16:28.080 --> 02:16:30.080 Virtus.pro trying to manage it. 02:16:30.080 --> 02:16:33.080 It's a pre-jump here from Tog and Wavy trying to practice it. 02:16:33.080 --> 02:16:38.080 Triple-cover there for NRG, but Virtus. not able to make the most of it. 02:16:38.080 --> 02:16:42.120 That ball was pinballing around on the goal line. 02:16:42.120 --> 02:16:46.440 That could have been disastrous for NRG and still see Virtus.Pro trying to 02:16:46.440 --> 02:16:48.720 march forward. Two-piece bumped off the ball on that. No, 02:16:48.720 --> 02:16:53.040 he's for talk to get around that shot. And now NRG trying to cut this up the 02:16:53.040 --> 02:16:57.480 gut. A good challenge from Two-Pies will put Virtus.Pro back on the attack. 02:16:57.480 --> 02:17:03.040 They're still keeping this possession. Atomic will clear it away for the 02:17:03.040 --> 02:17:11.320 time being and it'll be two piece wants to pick this up Dan plays it high and over 02:17:11.320 --> 02:17:15.280 on the back wall or talk will look to collect. It'll be really tough here but 02:17:15.280 --> 02:17:22.360 it's getting even worse. From bad to worse indeed talk tries to control this 02:17:22.360 --> 02:17:28.040 ball but that flick did not go how he was hoping. When you're making a play 02:17:28.040 --> 02:17:31.600 off your own back wall like that and you are taking it across the center 02:17:31.600 --> 02:17:35.420 the field you have to be perfect you can't make a mistake a ball in the center 02:17:35.420 --> 02:17:39.960 of the field is a recipe for disaster and disaster is what we just witnessed 02:17:39.960 --> 02:17:49.000 for Virtus Pro does. NRG just sucked the gravity out of the arena and Virtus Pro 02:17:50.800 --> 02:17:56.760 now giving up one that they feel like they probably shouldn't. Can they turn 02:17:56.760 --> 02:18:00.200 this around. Two piece. No, 02:18:00.200 --> 02:18:01.800 Beast mode just in the way and 02:18:01.800 --> 02:18:03.760 new since Dan. Oh, he actually 02:18:03.760 --> 02:18:04.760 gets fucked on the place of 02:18:04.760 --> 02:18:05.760 Beast mode will bring it off the 02:18:05.760 --> 02:18:08.300 corner. Wavy leaves it for two 02:18:08.300 --> 02:18:09.500 piece and two piece will try 02:18:09.500 --> 02:18:12.000 again. A topic. I mean, he just 02:18:12.000 --> 02:18:14.100 works through that midfield so 02:18:14.100 --> 02:18:15.500 well. The fake challenges 02:18:15.500 --> 02:18:17.240 forcing bird is to give up 02:18:17.240 --> 02:18:17.980 possessions. 02:18:18.980 --> 02:18:20.840 British pro was born in one 02:18:20.840 --> 02:18:22.680 game. This series 02:18:22.680 --> 02:18:24.020 offensively they have not 02:18:24.020 --> 02:18:25.280 been able to figure it out. 02:18:25.280 --> 02:18:28.000 So, you're already hitting the panic button. 02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:30.520 Only half the game left, trailer by two. 02:18:33.520 --> 02:18:36.000 Convert this, I mean, halfway through this game, 02:18:36.840 --> 02:18:38.520 it will really have to level up here 02:18:38.520 --> 02:18:42.760 if they want to have any way of turning this series around. 02:18:42.760 --> 02:18:44.840 This is such an important day for them, 02:18:44.840 --> 02:18:48.600 and all the top of the league center game just wasn't there. 02:18:48.600 --> 02:18:51.040 You know, they're in that race with the point. 02:18:51.040 --> 02:18:52.760 And if they get out, they can be dead. 02:18:52.760 --> 02:18:54.760 I'm gonna poke that extra punch! 02:18:54.760 --> 02:18:56.760 He overcooked it! 02:18:56.760 --> 02:18:58.760 It's just not meant to be. 02:18:59.760 --> 02:19:01.760 That one not going in. 02:19:01.760 --> 02:19:03.760 That one has to reach up one. 02:19:03.760 --> 02:19:05.760 For Virtus Pro. 02:19:05.760 --> 02:19:06.760 Oh, yeah. 02:19:06.760 --> 02:19:09.760 These aren't threatening at all. 02:19:09.760 --> 02:19:13.760 That is a very bad sign for Virtus. 02:19:13.760 --> 02:19:16.760 Like I said, footplay after this. 02:19:16.760 --> 02:19:19.760 And they're both in that race to Paris. 02:19:19.760 --> 02:19:26.760 Daniel B-Smile will control this here. All he gets buffed off the ball. I like that aggression. Almost results. 02:19:26.760 --> 02:19:32.760 And a gold two-piece could still cook here. We saw him get that double tap earlier. That was quite nice. 02:19:34.760 --> 02:19:40.760 NRG maintaining the clock. 120 to go. 02:19:40.760 --> 02:19:45.760 Berners needs to score with time. And B-Smile not even giving them any time to gather on half. 02:19:45.760 --> 02:19:47.680 Atomic went for the bump there. 02:19:47.680 --> 02:19:50.880 Tom gets a demo on D, it'll open up some space. 02:19:50.880 --> 02:19:52.560 Atomic was the cut, wavy with the double, 02:19:52.560 --> 02:19:54.240 but Tom wasn't there, he was looking for a bump. 02:19:54.240 --> 02:19:56.400 Two-piece now turns, passes to Wavy, 02:19:56.400 --> 02:19:58.120 back to two-piece, plays it high, 02:19:58.120 --> 02:19:59.560 but there's no one to follow. 02:19:59.560 --> 02:20:01.560 And Atomic will be able to clear it to D, 02:20:01.560 --> 02:20:03.120 who puts that one all the way down, 02:20:03.120 --> 02:20:04.280 feels it, that one going in, 02:20:04.280 --> 02:20:06.880 and it was a wavy at the clearing. 02:20:06.880 --> 02:20:09.200 And you saw the effort that two-piece was making, 02:20:09.200 --> 02:20:11.040 they didn't have enough boost to get up and over. 02:20:11.040 --> 02:20:13.040 Both of his teammates also had no boost. 02:20:13.040 --> 02:20:14.880 They were getting the mid-hoos, 02:20:14.880 --> 02:20:21.320 getting their back boost. NRG are controlling this game. They have 02:20:21.320 --> 02:20:24.600 controlled this series and it looks like they're about to get the job done. 02:20:26.840 --> 02:20:34.360 Final 30 left in this game. Curtis looking to score. No, NRG trying to 02:20:34.360 --> 02:20:39.640 bring it around. Just not enough there. And like you said, James, this one's 02:20:39.640 --> 02:20:47.080 Look at all but over it's going to take a miracle atomic solid 02:20:47.080 --> 02:20:50.200 boom down field and another tip on the ball that way see the 02:20:50.200 --> 02:20:53.320 more time talk with a pre-jump though maybe something can 02:20:53.320 --> 02:20:57.480 happen the past two piece even that shut down by energy the 02:20:57.480 --> 02:21:02.240 rebound tonight as well energy get their revenge on 02:21:02.240 --> 02:21:07.720 vertus pro vertus pro have not beaten energy or 02:21:07.720 --> 02:21:15.000 championship Sunday this season. I said it at the beginning of the series and it still holds true now. 02:21:15.640 --> 02:21:26.880 NRG dominate Vertus and it was we saw them with their best fight James and I think game three after the timeout. 02:21:27.320 --> 02:21:34.040 But otherwise I mean they only scored in one game. Yeah. Three goals. They got three goals that one game. 02:21:34.040 --> 02:21:35.920 And that was it. 02:21:35.920 --> 02:21:37.360 NRG was locking them down. 02:21:37.360 --> 02:21:40.880 I mean, the Virtus.Pro played this way against them 02:21:40.880 --> 02:21:44.200 in the earlier phases as well, where they would turtle up, 02:21:44.200 --> 02:21:45.680 try to just get the saves, get the saves, 02:21:45.680 --> 02:21:48.640 look for these counters, but the counter-tacks didn't come. 02:21:48.640 --> 02:21:49.480 You just couldn't find it. 02:21:49.480 --> 02:21:52.120 It was solid gameplay from NRG. 02:21:52.120 --> 02:21:54.320 They looked to be in control of that whole game. 02:21:54.320 --> 02:21:55.760 I mean, almost swept them. 02:21:55.760 --> 02:21:59.160 It was a heroic effort by Toph to get that 0-second goal 02:21:59.160 --> 02:22:01.200 in the game, steal and overtime. 02:22:01.200 --> 02:22:03.480 But other than that, man, it was all NRG. 02:22:04.040 --> 02:22:07.940 It was NRG, Curtis Pearl, they'll have to sit in a watch 02:22:07.940 --> 02:22:10.740 as footage is gonna take the stage next. 02:22:10.740 --> 02:22:12.400 Don't go anywhere, almost, yes! 02:22:12.400 --> 02:22:13.540 Come on, sir! 02:22:14.880 --> 02:22:16.880 Okay, the plumber's fixing that burst pipe. 02:22:16.880 --> 02:22:17.840 It should be all set. 02:22:17.840 --> 02:22:19.680 Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home 02:22:19.680 --> 02:22:21.280 and auto bundle from Progressive. 02:22:21.280 --> 02:22:22.880 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out 02:22:22.880 --> 02:22:24.880 the right caption to post about this. 02:22:24.880 --> 02:22:26.580 Maybe something like, I have protection, 02:22:26.580 --> 02:22:27.580 just need a lifeguard. 02:22:27.580 --> 02:22:29.720 What about that emoji with a shocked face? 02:22:29.720 --> 02:22:31.720 Or maybe flooded with emotion. 02:22:31.720 --> 02:22:33.620 That's too much. Try, um... 02:22:33.620 --> 02:22:34.820 Tuesdays are crazy. 02:22:34.820 --> 02:22:38.020 You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online. 02:22:40.620 --> 02:22:44.620 I totally believe your life is meaningless with that affirmation, am I right? 02:23:03.620 --> 02:23:11.620 Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road, and far beyond. 02:23:11.620 --> 02:23:13.620 Michelin, Motion for Life. 02:27:03.620 --> 02:27:05.620 I 02:27:33.620 --> 02:27:40.120 So I speak up, I'll scream and tell you again 02:27:40.120 --> 02:27:44.620 I'll reach for a reason to guide this blue ocean 02:27:44.620 --> 02:27:48.620 Here I am alone 02:27:48.620 --> 02:27:55.120 I'm right here, the walls are closing in 02:27:55.120 --> 02:28:00.120 I feel the cold embrace against your eyes 02:28:00.120 --> 02:28:22.120 I have to go. 02:28:22.120 --> 02:28:24.120 Welcome back to the Rock League. 02:28:24.120 --> 02:28:26.120 Championship series open number five 02:28:26.120 --> 02:28:28.120 in the North American region. 02:28:28.120 --> 02:28:33.140 two best of sevens down and it's NRG that's going to come out on top for the one against 02:28:33.140 --> 02:28:37.300 Virtus.pro and the allegations stay true for the team of VP. 02:28:37.300 --> 02:28:39.020 But here's Beast Mode. 02:28:39.020 --> 02:28:41.700 Continue it on a journey that I think he's familiar with. 02:28:41.700 --> 02:28:44.340 Congratulations on winning your championship Saturday Beast Mode. 02:28:44.340 --> 02:28:46.780 Thank you so much. 02:28:46.780 --> 02:28:52.740 I got to ask, man, because this matchup is now, I think three in three, VP seems to 02:28:52.740 --> 02:28:55.900 get the best you guys when it comes to Friday, Saturdays, but you've won every 02:28:55.900 --> 02:29:01.900 game against them on Champ Sunday. What's the difference? Why is this so back and forth on different days? 02:29:01.900 --> 02:29:07.900 I don't know. That's a good question. I mean, it's grounds, I think, I mean, they're probably one of our top four match-ups, definitely, in the region. 02:29:07.900 --> 02:29:12.900 I think their playstyle is definitely more organized and structured than a lot of other teams. 02:29:12.900 --> 02:29:19.900 So I think that's why they obviously go back and forth with us. But I think on just Championship Sunday, I think we got the edge on them just because, like, I think we're just more locked. 02:29:19.900 --> 02:29:23.900 more locked. Definitely just more locked and more ready prepared and obviously you know it's a data 02:29:24.460 --> 02:29:28.780 win. So yeah they're a really good team and you know they're very structured and very organizing 02:29:28.780 --> 02:29:35.580 very good. I like it. It's you guys are so good it's as if it's guaranteed and you know it's 02:29:35.580 --> 02:29:39.180 guaranteed you'll be on Sunday that you can kind of relax on it. You were in the tank top 02:29:39.180 --> 02:29:47.100 yesterday too just kind of chilling out. Yeah we're gonna make Sunday. Yeah I mean it's hard 02:29:47.100 --> 02:29:50.380 not see just because of the of the team that we are and will be 02:29:50.380 --> 02:29:54.140 accomplished but we try not to have that because that has been a 02:29:54.140 --> 02:29:56.860 downfall in our past where we where we have like you know just 02:29:56.860 --> 02:29:59.420 made made a change or maybe like maybe we think we're gonna 02:29:59.420 --> 02:30:02.060 make a championship Sunday and then we obviously lose in like 02:30:02.060 --> 02:30:06.380 9-12 like one of the last but so yeah that's we we obviously 02:30:06.380 --> 02:30:08.860 try not to think like that but yeah it's it's always about 02:30:08.860 --> 02:30:11.500 you know back to the head. Now before I let you go I 02:30:11.500 --> 02:30:14.780 there was a concern Jorbi had earlier your room's looking 02:30:14.780 --> 02:30:20.100 super clean right now. But there's the lift, the workout bench that was there before. How 02:30:20.100 --> 02:30:24.580 are you going to get your refs in between games now? Where'd that go? Are we giving 02:30:24.580 --> 02:30:25.580 up? 02:30:25.580 --> 02:30:31.020 I have a workout room now. So I still do workout. It's in my basement. But right now, yeah, 02:30:31.020 --> 02:30:35.740 I just got new carpeted. Got the Beastman playing in the back. Got the little Beastman 02:30:35.740 --> 02:30:39.500 with the World Championship trophies and stuff like that in the back. So yeah, a little 02:30:39.500 --> 02:30:42.860 decorated. I'll try to get it going with the room and making it a little game room. 02:30:42.860 --> 02:30:44.820 Yeah, pretty cool. 02:30:44.820 --> 02:30:46.060 Is it all done now? 02:30:46.060 --> 02:30:49.540 Are you leaving some room for more trophies in the back there? 02:30:49.540 --> 02:30:52.420 Yeah, if I get more trophies, you definitely 02:30:52.420 --> 02:30:52.900 see me in the back. 02:30:52.900 --> 02:30:53.980 That's for sure. 02:30:53.980 --> 02:30:54.460 Perfect. 02:30:54.460 --> 02:30:54.940 All right. 02:30:54.940 --> 02:30:55.940 I'm looking forward to it. 02:30:55.940 --> 02:30:57.300 I'm going to let you get back locked in here. 02:30:57.300 --> 02:30:58.700 We got some more games to get through. 02:30:58.700 --> 02:31:00.340 So I just wanted to say congrats again, 02:31:00.340 --> 02:31:02.140 and maybe we'll see you later. 02:31:02.140 --> 02:31:02.640 Yes, sir. 02:31:02.640 --> 02:31:05.220 Thank you. 02:31:05.220 --> 02:31:05.720 I love it. 02:31:05.720 --> 02:31:08.100 The room's looking super clean here. 02:31:08.100 --> 02:31:08.580 Jazz? 02:31:08.580 --> 02:31:10.820 Yeah, I like it. 02:31:10.820 --> 02:31:17.820 I'm sitting here on the desk with the Virtus.Fan club. 02:31:17.820 --> 02:31:25.820 That's what when NRG takes the stage or championships Sunday, it's just a different team and beast 02:31:25.820 --> 02:31:26.820 books a different beast. 02:31:26.820 --> 02:31:34.820 I mean, it's just, we had a heart set to Earth, but the records man. 02:31:34.820 --> 02:31:42.660 I remember that go right there the flick on zero seconds. I remember I know we lost but the flick on zero seconds 02:31:42.660 --> 02:31:50.700 You give us some time we come back we reconvene and then and then and then maybe on another Sunday in a far-off 02:31:50.860 --> 02:31:52.860 universe and another timeline 02:31:53.060 --> 02:32:00.280 We can take down it. I I thought it was the best as we know the first thing we came to you on the cast first thing 02:32:00.280 --> 02:32:01.780 You said is 02:32:01.780 --> 02:32:03.260 first pro 02:32:03.260 --> 02:32:05.920 as a B NRG, I'm champ Chips on day. 02:32:07.220 --> 02:32:10.100 Good point, good point, good point. 02:32:10.100 --> 02:32:13.020 Still on, still on, okay. 02:32:13.020 --> 02:32:16.020 I mean it's just this NRG team is just so efficient 02:32:16.020 --> 02:32:18.580 and you know they are used to this. 02:32:18.580 --> 02:32:21.180 That's one of the beauties of having a team stick together 02:32:21.180 --> 02:32:24.220 this long and be as successful as they are. 02:32:24.220 --> 02:32:26.420 This is something that they've been through 02:32:26.420 --> 02:32:28.740 and it's something that they are more comfortable with 02:32:28.740 --> 02:32:30.380 than the whole rest of the conversation. 02:32:30.380 --> 02:32:31.580 Or conversation. 02:32:31.580 --> 02:32:32.540 They're just looking so good 02:32:32.540 --> 02:32:37.340 If I'm if I'm put I'm worrying in this bracket or her, you know, it it's a 02:32:37.940 --> 02:32:42.380 Troublesome scene that energy barreling down towards you. So 02:32:42.900 --> 02:32:45.100 We'll see how that matchup goes a little bit here 02:32:45.100 --> 02:32:50.820 But I don't want to get thoughts on the next one because we're gonna be starting to go into a shop of fire rebellion space station 02:32:50.820 --> 02:32:54.460 I'm not mistaken here because it wouldn't be fair to make the energy keep playing here 02:32:54.460 --> 02:32:58.140 So talk to me about this matchup shop fire billions. I think the question mark here 02:32:58.140 --> 02:33:12.140 Yeah. Well, Shopify really had a question mark this morning. Then they played their last series and everybody was like, oh, okay. You know what? They actually are fine. The level of performance. We were getting out of first killer and cofer in particular. 02:33:12.140 --> 02:33:22.140 I would argue this is their best chance of success against this space station squad just because on the flip side of things, space station have been on quite a tear. 02:33:22.140 --> 02:33:27.940 So it really is going to be a battle of who's performing the best on the day as cliche as that sounds 02:33:27.940 --> 02:33:30.100 But that truly is what it's coming down to dad 02:33:30.940 --> 02:33:36.100 Yeah, I mean this one you this is really where rebellion I think are gonna be tested here 02:33:36.100 --> 02:33:39.220 I think it says G as well in terms of like their consistency 02:33:39.220 --> 02:33:41.500 We've seen highs and lows kind of from both teams 02:33:41.500 --> 02:33:46.380 I mean SSG's really been a team to kind of like fight back and and battle I am 02:33:46.380 --> 02:33:57.380 I'm very interested to see what rebellion come out of here with because I do think the series will be close and it'll really test the teams on how they've been playing over the course of this one. 02:33:57.380 --> 02:34:04.380 SSG trying to get back to that final, trying to retain the number one seed in NA and I think rebellion kind of want to disrupt that as much as they can. 02:34:04.380 --> 02:34:09.380 I think that's a good or sorry 02:34:09.380 --> 02:34:11.380 not good a big match up here for 02:34:11.380 --> 02:34:13.380 SSG they can lock in their spot 02:34:13.380 --> 02:34:15.380 at Paris if they can get a win 02:34:15.380 --> 02:34:17.380 just needed to make into those 02:34:17.380 --> 02:34:19.380 grand finals. So for them it's a 02:34:19.380 --> 02:34:20.380 they know that's on the line here 02:34:20.380 --> 02:34:21.380 but I'm sure they're just 02:34:21.380 --> 02:34:22.380 locking into their game because 02:34:22.380 --> 02:34:24.380 they should probably have this 02:34:24.380 --> 02:34:25.380 what do you guys think in chat 02:34:25.380 --> 02:34:26.380 for the progressive fan vote 02:34:26.380 --> 02:34:29.380 your hashtags spam through now 02:34:29.380 --> 02:34:30.380 with Tyler those up tell you 02:34:30.380 --> 02:34:31.380 those up in just a few 02:34:31.380 --> 02:34:32.380 moments here. Space 02:34:32.380 --> 02:34:33.380 Nation gaming have to be 02:34:33.380 --> 02:34:38.820 I think for everyone here, you know, Shopify can do some damage, but SSG, we've seen them do it before. 02:34:39.500 --> 02:34:45.420 Oh, for sure. SSG is, like I said, they're on a tear. They've looked absolutely incredible. 02:34:46.420 --> 02:34:53.340 Let me see. I mean, they took down Virtus Pro, right? And it was a Virtus Pro in not necessarily the prime, but definitely in a peak fashion. 02:34:53.340 --> 02:35:01.020 It was game seven the other day against them and even going further back to that, they've had pretty decent challenges up to this point. 02:35:01.020 --> 02:35:04.620 three one over strictly business thrill over dignitas to get here. 02:35:04.860 --> 02:35:08.340 So everybody that they face up to as far as, you know, the journey, 02:35:08.340 --> 02:35:11.940 it's been really solid series shop of our bellion. 02:35:11.940 --> 02:35:13.380 It's been up and down on a couple of them. 02:35:13.380 --> 02:35:16.660 However, I think, like I said, the performance who got out of them, 02:35:17.420 --> 02:35:21.380 not just like an hour or so ago, it definitely is something 02:35:21.380 --> 02:35:24.820 that they could give a couple of punches to SSG. Yeah. No, I think you're 02:35:24.820 --> 02:35:26.980 right to look back to the rest of the weekend. It's like, you know, 02:35:26.980 --> 02:35:30.060 they only drop that one game going through group B against strictly 02:35:30.060 --> 02:35:35.060 business, which is a team that took two off of NRG, right? So that's a team that's fair 02:35:35.060 --> 02:35:40.300 to lose a game to. But since then, they've just been, they've been looking good. Yeah, 02:35:40.300 --> 02:35:44.740 I still don't know, guys, when it comes to actually get in the field here, if Shopify's 02:35:44.740 --> 02:35:46.820 sure they look good, but yeah, 02:35:46.820 --> 02:35:51.460 I mean, this one, this one is kind of tough. I think, you know, and for all my Star Wars 02:35:51.460 --> 02:35:56.260 heads, it's like, I says, geez, the death star, the first Skywalker to see if he 02:35:56.260 --> 02:36:04.020 stop dark expert on this one because it just feels like right now ssg is just in total control 02:36:04.740 --> 02:36:09.460 but the rebellion they do have they do have some good good kinks about them especially 02:36:09.460 --> 02:36:13.300 when you look at like first killer and his way of just being able to move around the field if 02:36:13.300 --> 02:36:18.020 they can start connecting on their passes it would be really solid but i mean this is really 02:36:18.020 --> 02:36:22.500 going to be quite the battle in the coaching stage and on the player stage because these teams 02:36:22.500 --> 02:36:27.860 are so close. Yeah, well, that's okay. I guess the question you kind of answered there, too, 02:36:27.860 --> 02:36:32.660 maybe some passive and that, but like, what's the what's the exhaust vent? What are they aiming for 02:36:32.660 --> 02:36:39.300 here? How they, you know, how they blowing up the best star? Well, I mean, no, that hurt good. 02:36:39.300 --> 02:36:44.340 Preparation. It's the same as in Star Wars. They went in with a plan, and that's how they 02:36:44.340 --> 02:36:49.060 took them down. And yeah, I don't know what the panda equivalent would be. But 02:36:49.060 --> 02:36:53.100 Panda's the man with the plan. I'm sure he came up with something to take SSG down today 02:36:53.100 --> 02:36:58.360 So that I think that that is the difference me. Yeah friend. Okay. Well, what's it gonna be? 02:36:58.360 --> 02:37:03.180 What's the actual result gonna look like her since you're talking anyways? Let's get here 02:37:03.180 --> 02:37:09.500 Let's get your prediction getting on the board. I think actual results as incredible as space station have been 02:37:09.500 --> 02:37:11.500 I do think 02:37:11.580 --> 02:37:18.060 Panda has put this new play in motion that puts Shopify rebellion a little bit too prepared 02:37:18.060 --> 02:37:23.060 for SSG's almost like runaway game plan. 02:37:24.420 --> 02:37:26.060 It doesn't feel too planned out. 02:37:26.060 --> 02:37:29.060 And I think as a Shopify have a little bit of a hand. 02:37:29.060 --> 02:37:31.860 You think Shopify, okay, okay, guys. 02:37:31.860 --> 02:37:32.700 Are you lined up with that? 02:37:32.700 --> 02:37:34.820 Cause like, I don't know if I am. 02:37:34.820 --> 02:37:37.940 Gimme space station game, 1, 8, and 7. 02:37:37.940 --> 02:37:41.020 Okay, listen, the death star's not blowing up today. 02:37:41.020 --> 02:37:42.580 It's gonna be close here. 02:37:42.580 --> 02:37:44.060 Like I said, I got him at seven, 02:37:44.060 --> 02:37:46.480 but I think SSG more consistent. 02:37:46.480 --> 02:37:48.760 And if they really just start to peak, 02:37:48.760 --> 02:37:50.720 it's gonna be really hard for Rebellion here. 02:37:50.720 --> 02:37:53.680 I think Rebellion winning, 02:37:53.680 --> 02:37:55.640 like that's his G series to lose. 02:37:55.640 --> 02:37:57.120 That's how I feel about it. 02:37:57.120 --> 02:37:58.760 Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree. 02:37:58.760 --> 02:37:59.720 Every space station gave me, 02:37:59.720 --> 02:38:01.760 and they took the last open for a reason. 02:38:01.760 --> 02:38:03.360 I feel like they're gonna be sitting on that. 02:38:03.360 --> 02:38:05.640 That same kind of laurels coming into this one here. 02:38:05.640 --> 02:38:06.480 And I'll be good for them. 02:38:06.480 --> 02:38:07.400 And Chappell, is it too? 02:38:07.400 --> 02:38:08.960 Not super convincing, though. 02:38:08.960 --> 02:38:10.800 A lot of Shopify fans out there. 02:38:10.800 --> 02:38:11.640 We'll see. 02:38:11.640 --> 02:38:14.640 I'm gonna have to see Jay stream open on the side. 02:38:14.640 --> 02:38:15.480 Let's get in a match. 02:38:15.480 --> 02:38:19.160 Best of the seven, it's time to get a who goes to the Grand Finals. 02:38:19.160 --> 02:38:25.400 Can Shopify overcome or is this space station gaming clenching their spot to Pachi? 02:38:25.400 --> 02:38:26.760 We're gonna find out right now. 02:38:26.760 --> 02:38:29.720 Grand Finals is coming up soon, only one team goes. 02:38:34.040 --> 02:38:35.240 Bangers ahead right now. 02:38:35.240 --> 02:38:38.280 Space station versus Shopify Rebellion. 02:38:38.840 --> 02:38:42.680 Fighting to get farther in this tournament on their path to the Paris Major. 02:38:42.680 --> 02:38:44.600 Game one brought to you by Progressive. 02:38:45.480 --> 02:38:48.920 And they're going to have to go through the defending regional chance. 02:38:48.920 --> 02:38:56.560 Space station gaming, see if they have it in their last series was pretty dominating against Gen G. 02:38:56.560 --> 02:39:04.360 But it did look like Gen G maybe a different caliber of opponent than who they'll find in space station gaming, Derby. 02:39:04.360 --> 02:39:13.880 And this is actually the first time these two teams have met this split, the first time SSGC rebellion with Zach on the roster. 02:39:13.880 --> 02:39:17.000 Every other matchup has been with chronic in the first split 02:39:17.760 --> 02:39:22.360 So we get the first real look at these two squads against each other 02:39:22.360 --> 02:39:27.160 And it always starts out with a quick demo from space station. Yeah, it's like weak shot 02:39:28.200 --> 02:39:31.520 What's weak shot by you're seeing demos connect you're seeing bumps connect 02:39:35.080 --> 02:39:40.480 First killer having a solid start so far at least out of the game 02:39:40.480 --> 02:39:46.400 see if he can bring his performances from the past up to the space station level. 02:39:47.280 --> 02:39:49.760 He has been a huge part of the success for this rebellion team. 02:39:51.440 --> 02:39:55.600 And much needed for rebellion after the way the last split ended for them, 02:39:56.320 --> 02:39:58.080 and the way the major ended for them. 02:39:59.760 --> 02:40:00.480 That's comfort. 02:40:02.000 --> 02:40:05.200 Not able to completely avoid Diaz, Zack winning the challenge. 02:40:05.200 --> 02:40:11.200 Zack just dunking LJ's clear attempt at the space station. 02:40:11.200 --> 02:40:14.200 Everything they can to hold the midfield. 02:40:14.200 --> 02:40:17.200 Working out Zack keeps winning these fifties. 02:40:17.200 --> 02:40:19.200 He's spending the time to do it. 02:40:19.200 --> 02:40:22.200 Diaz is posted up here in the third as well. 02:40:22.200 --> 02:40:24.200 And no one gonna jump to that one, Zack. 02:40:24.200 --> 02:40:27.200 Happy to let first killer send it right to him. 02:40:27.200 --> 02:40:30.200 Still allows rebellion to get set back up here in the midfield. 02:40:30.200 --> 02:40:32.200 Cofer maybe back to LJ. 02:40:32.200 --> 02:40:35.240 back to LJ, LJ waiting, picks Diaz's pocket, 02:40:35.240 --> 02:40:37.320 and Rebellion get the give and go. 02:40:37.320 --> 02:40:38.840 One nothing for Rebellion. 02:40:38.840 --> 02:40:42.280 Good finish for LJ as well, that killer instinct. 02:40:42.280 --> 02:40:45.160 He gets the pass over, stays near that far post, 02:40:45.160 --> 02:40:46.400 just in case he's needed. 02:40:46.400 --> 02:40:47.880 I don't think that one was going in. 02:40:47.880 --> 02:40:49.720 LJ needing to knock that one in. 02:40:50.840 --> 02:40:53.840 Right there on the scene, getting the job done. 02:40:53.840 --> 02:40:56.400 To me, James, that is the true key difference 02:40:56.400 --> 02:40:58.800 of Rebellion, this split, is it's LJ and Kofo 02:40:58.800 --> 02:41:00.200 raking up so often. 02:41:00.200 --> 02:41:08.200 And how often are we like, man, first killer, he's always doing everything, he's always having to get his team involved, and it's usually first killer in the middle of all of it. 02:41:08.200 --> 02:41:14.200 So many times it's just me, LJ and Kofi, getting it done and first killer holding that back end down. 02:41:14.200 --> 02:41:19.200 Yeah, I think the problem for the first killer teams is when that's all you're talking about on those teams. 02:41:19.200 --> 02:41:27.200 It doesn't seem like anyone else is stepping up, so he feels like he's got to carry it, but LJ and Kofi, he seemed to continue to get comfortable. 02:41:27.200 --> 02:41:32.600 comfortable they're still looking for amazing results internationally but this 02:41:32.600 --> 02:41:37.520 team is one that you can have faith in and this is a big test from here against 02:41:37.520 --> 02:41:42.760 SSG who's been quite hot if they deep-brown the NRG regionally it's a 02:41:42.760 --> 02:41:48.960 really tough job to do so if you can see rebellion get that win here against 02:41:48.960 --> 02:41:52.200 SSG that would be massive for the hopes of this squad. 02:41:52.200 --> 02:41:56.360 Zack was getting plump there after the double commit and first killer will make them pay. 02:41:56.360 --> 02:42:02.000 So you saw the double commit on low boost between revealing Diaz, Zack would have been able to rotate back 02:42:02.000 --> 02:42:09.160 But he literally got scooped up off the ground by Kofur delaying his approach back that made the 50s so easy for first killer 02:42:09.920 --> 02:42:15.860 Orbellion are on a roll right now. They've not lost a step since exiting that Gen G series 4-0 02:42:16.760 --> 02:42:22.400 And then you just look at the last matchups that they played SSG barely bending off Virtus Pro 02:42:22.400 --> 02:42:31.840 And then saw Rebellion though, handling Gen G mightily, it was a beat down, so that's got 02:42:31.840 --> 02:42:34.720 to help the mental shock part of Rebellion. 02:42:34.720 --> 02:42:35.720 You heard Virta. 02:42:35.720 --> 02:42:39.760 Why would Panda talk as well about how he's felt the teams had a little bit of nerves, 02:42:39.760 --> 02:42:43.920 so it looks like they've shaken those off and they're finally playing at their pace. 02:42:43.920 --> 02:42:46.240 I don't see any nerves right now. 02:42:46.240 --> 02:42:51.440 I think this would be the match that you would feel that a little bit, but it 02:42:51.440 --> 02:42:55.600 enough pressure from space station on offense here's a little bit though off 02:42:55.600 --> 02:43:00.920 the bar and Diaz will make sure it goes in the star of all CS Saturday finds the 02:43:00.920 --> 02:43:06.400 first goal here yeah it's bumped as well stays in the play on the bump almost 02:43:06.400 --> 02:43:11.160 helping him reposition their Diaz able to jump back in the scene I thought that 02:43:11.160 --> 02:43:16.880 reveals little poke was gonna be enough to get that goal but Diaz was 02:43:16.880 --> 02:43:20.160 necessary in that one 02:43:21.440 --> 02:43:27.740 reveal actually getting demoed Diaz quick flip back into the ball and he also 02:43:27.740 --> 02:43:34.100 gets demoed. Kovac trying to beat Diaz to the punch him and reveal kind of get 02:43:34.100 --> 02:43:38.540 tied up and it's two mistakes now for space station it's revealing Diaz both 02:43:38.540 --> 02:43:43.260 the perpetrators of it they get punished again. Yeah that ball floats out 02:43:43.260 --> 02:43:47.180 perfectly perverscular even still it looked like that might have been a 02:43:47.180 --> 02:43:52.180 a blockable ball, but first killer so perfectly places it, 02:43:52.980 --> 02:43:55.180 slot it right through the defense. 02:43:55.180 --> 02:43:58.700 And now they're almost get a response back SSG, 02:43:58.700 --> 02:44:00.940 but the defense is there for rebellion. 02:44:00.940 --> 02:44:03.060 You've had a strong game one. 02:44:03.060 --> 02:44:05.380 The first killer was locked in. 02:44:05.380 --> 02:44:07.260 He's been at the center of everything. 02:44:07.260 --> 02:44:09.660 We were talking about LJ and Copa on that one goal 02:44:09.660 --> 02:44:12.340 and now you don't need first killer 02:44:12.340 --> 02:44:13.900 to step up every single time, 02:44:13.900 --> 02:44:15.660 but he's still gonna be there. 02:44:15.660 --> 02:44:19.100 and he's at the center of it so far here in game one. 02:44:19.100 --> 02:44:20.180 Like he's always there. 02:44:20.180 --> 02:44:22.580 One of the most consistent players in the game. 02:44:23.900 --> 02:44:27.260 I mean, there's some people who criticize 02:44:27.260 --> 02:44:30.780 his international results, but to be at the level 02:44:30.780 --> 02:44:33.180 he has been for so long is something else. 02:44:33.180 --> 02:44:35.940 Even there, that defensive touch on low boost. 02:44:35.940 --> 02:44:37.660 First killer's the real deal. 02:44:37.660 --> 02:44:38.740 Really? 02:44:38.740 --> 02:44:40.220 I hope we get to the front of this one. 02:44:40.220 --> 02:44:43.420 And it was really a tribal reveal on that last try too, 02:44:43.420 --> 02:44:44.860 but it's just not enough. 02:44:45.660 --> 02:44:52.660 space station not had much and two of these goals could argue were 02:44:52.660 --> 02:44:57.220 preventable here's a great pass to Diaz on the midfield line LJ on the back wall 02:44:57.220 --> 02:45:00.780 couldn't do anything about it and now things getting interesting reveal 02:45:00.780 --> 02:45:06.980 tons of boost nails that pass Diaz has no boost at all or reveal still going 02:45:06.980 --> 02:45:11.140 through that pass trusting that Diaz can get the job done and now all eyes 02:45:11.140 --> 02:45:16.140 on the kickoff will we see any shenanigans right one last time I got 02:45:16.140 --> 02:45:21.820 Diaz now LJ on the ceiling Diaz playing it towards reveal LJ gets there 02:45:21.820 --> 02:45:27.180 first killer follows it up space station reloading for one last try or five 02:45:27.180 --> 02:45:32.080 from the midfields act just pumps it for the backboard it came down space 02:45:32.080 --> 02:45:35.540 station trying to read the plate Diaz in there but he can't get there 02:45:35.540 --> 02:45:41.100 rebellion we'll take game one strong game from rebellion did get a little 02:45:41.100 --> 02:45:45.980 Little bit worrisome at the end there, but they're able to get the job done against SSG 02:45:47.300 --> 02:45:50.620 Quality game there from first killer as well co-curl for the pair of assists 02:45:50.620 --> 02:45:58.100 I think across the board looking at all three players rebellion a comfortable game a solid game everyone playing their part and 02:45:58.940 --> 02:46:04.220 I mean this is this is a rebellion plan at a level where they can win they can win it off 02:46:04.220 --> 02:46:07.280 They keep playing at this pace keep playing 02:46:07.900 --> 02:46:09.580 as a team 02:46:09.580 --> 02:46:15.500 Walking in getting those opportunities put away first killer. You can see how he had that lovely first goal 02:46:18.780 --> 02:46:24.220 It comes at a time when space station I mean their offense this weekend James has 02:46:25.420 --> 02:46:31.140 Honestly, they've had the best offense this weekend. They're number one in goals per game over three goals a game 02:46:31.740 --> 02:46:36.100 Averaging over 10 shots a game good for a second number one in assists 02:46:36.100 --> 02:46:39.800 So like space station have been working really good as a unit and even number two in demos 02:46:39.800 --> 02:46:42.260 They get a lot of demos especially in that vertus pro series 02:46:42.460 --> 02:46:45.540 But they only generated seven shots in that game 02:46:45.540 --> 02:46:47.540 they could only get two goals and 02:46:48.140 --> 02:46:56.580 Rebellion really dictated pace of play for the entire series in space station these weren't like they weren't farming bad teams on 02:46:56.620 --> 02:46:59.140 these with their offense like they had to play 02:46:59.140 --> 02:47:06.260 Strictly business we're playing well up until that energy series vertus pro and we all watched that one 02:47:06.260 --> 02:47:11.180 And then they can toss them and they have their ups and downs, but they can toss have some pretty good ups 02:47:11.180 --> 02:47:14.500 Those aren't no-name teams that space fishing mounted the best 02:47:15.140 --> 02:47:18.420 offensive performance of the weekend so far on but this rebellion team 02:47:19.020 --> 02:47:22.860 It's gonna make it difficult for them. He asked trying to step up to start a game, too 02:47:24.260 --> 02:47:26.260 Big test big test for both squads 02:47:26.260 --> 02:47:33.260 But the big criticism for SSG in the past has been the consistency. 02:47:33.260 --> 02:47:38.260 I mean, even now, if they go out, I think top four still good result. 02:47:38.260 --> 02:47:40.260 But if they can manage to get back to a grand final, 02:47:40.260 --> 02:47:42.260 manage to somehow win a back to back, 02:47:42.260 --> 02:47:45.260 I think that is going to silence the haters. 02:47:45.260 --> 02:47:48.260 It's going to be one tough road to do it. 02:47:48.260 --> 02:47:51.260 Space station. 02:47:51.260 --> 02:47:53.260 I have to find the work here. 02:47:53.260 --> 02:47:57.420 It's just hey, you don't double commit and the game is still tied 02:47:58.420 --> 02:48:03.700 Zach doesn't get bumps the Diaz and reveal don't run into each other on the back wall to get the pups 02:48:03.700 --> 02:48:06.360 They want for it that game's a lot tighter.

02:53:27.720 --> 02:53:29.000 First base? 02:53:29.000 --> 02:53:30.600 Well, I think you got to figure it out. 02:53:30.600 --> 02:53:32.080 You got to buy some time of the time out. 02:53:32.080 --> 02:53:35.520 That's what I'm guessing that SSG is going to do really. 02:53:35.520 --> 02:53:37.960 No answers to rebellion. 02:53:37.960 --> 02:53:39.320 First Killers had free reign. 02:53:39.320 --> 02:53:42.840 They've been able to spot out exactly what Space 02:53:42.840 --> 02:53:44.520 Station has been trying to do. 02:53:44.520 --> 02:53:47.800 The telegraphed plays you saw of Popper being 02:53:47.800 --> 02:53:50.920 able to challenge from behind, get the demo from behind, 02:53:50.920 --> 02:53:52.160 break up the plays from behind. 02:53:52.160 --> 02:53:54.640 First killer as well, intercepting that ball. 02:53:54.640 --> 02:53:56.040 The pass, two obvious. 02:53:56.040 --> 02:53:58.040 First killer getting a goal from that. 02:53:58.040 --> 02:54:00.800 It just seems like there's not been that level 02:54:00.800 --> 02:54:03.320 of dynamic attack for SSG. 02:54:03.320 --> 02:54:07.280 And the defense also hasn't been there. 02:54:07.280 --> 02:54:08.440 Hasn't been there for SSG. 02:54:08.440 --> 02:54:10.200 We've seen some double commits. 02:54:10.200 --> 02:54:12.800 We've also just seen some overpowering plays 02:54:12.800 --> 02:54:16.840 by Rebellion, that flip reset, a musty double tap 02:54:16.840 --> 02:54:19.440 show that LJ8 was able to force that rebound on. 02:54:19.440 --> 02:54:22.740 And then also the team pinch goal, this game as well, 02:54:22.740 --> 02:54:25.180 some tough breaks for SSG. 02:54:25.180 --> 02:54:28.380 But overall, the execution for Rebellion has been there. 02:54:28.380 --> 02:54:30.900 And on Championship Sunday, that's been lacking. 02:54:30.900 --> 02:54:32.180 But they're starting to find it now. 02:54:32.180 --> 02:54:34.500 It's two back-to-back amazing games. 02:54:34.500 --> 02:54:38.220 And that chance to go on match point as well for Rebellion, 02:54:38.220 --> 02:54:40.100 this is as hungry as we've seen them, 02:54:40.100 --> 02:54:43.940 as effective as we've seen them against an SSG team 02:54:43.940 --> 02:54:45.860 that just won the last open. 02:54:45.860 --> 02:54:51.580 So this would be a massive, massive win for Shopify Rebellion if they could pull it off. 02:54:51.580 --> 02:54:58.540 Well Diaz came into today leading the team in goal participation, probably pole vaulted 02:54:58.540 --> 02:55:04.820 over the entire team after yesterday's performance and somebody on Space Station has to lead 02:55:04.820 --> 02:55:06.320 the charge here. 02:55:06.320 --> 02:55:11.580 Cofer's a 120 points, that's the biggest 120 points I've seen from the bottom 02:55:11.580 --> 02:55:12.580 of the board board. 02:55:12.580 --> 02:55:19.260 So many times that hard work doesn't show up on the scoreboard, you know, those bumps. 02:55:19.260 --> 02:55:24.020 I mean, even if you get a tip into the midfield and then someone else gets the assist for it, 02:55:24.020 --> 02:55:26.820 you know, there's a lot of things that don't get accounted for on the scoreboard. 02:55:26.820 --> 02:55:30.420 What we saw that last game, even though it was first killer with all the points and 02:55:30.420 --> 02:55:33.580 all the goals, is there really was a team effort. 02:55:33.580 --> 02:55:35.780 You saw that the LJ team effort, the team pinch. 02:55:35.780 --> 02:55:38.620 I mean, how much more of a team effort can you make on a team pinch? 02:55:38.620 --> 02:55:41.220 It's just shame only one player gets a credit for that goal. 02:55:41.220 --> 02:55:45.580 I mean, it's just insane to see like first killer. 02:55:45.580 --> 02:55:48.420 He's at the center of it all as he always is. 02:55:48.420 --> 02:55:54.060 And with LJ and Kofur both locked in looking like the way they are. 02:55:54.060 --> 02:55:59.060 Rebellion, definitely the best someday we have seen from them. 02:55:59.060 --> 02:56:02.260 With this current roster, at least with my eyes, 02:56:02.260 --> 02:56:03.820 they've got a tough road still. 02:56:03.820 --> 02:56:06.300 Space station have the talent. 02:56:06.300 --> 02:56:08.340 They have the ability to come back in this series. 02:56:08.340 --> 02:56:13.340 Every game is a chance, but rebellion had started hot. 02:56:13.340 --> 02:56:14.340 I want to keep the flames up. 02:56:14.340 --> 02:56:18.340 Already forcing a double commit out of that threatening shot. 02:56:18.340 --> 02:56:21.340 LJ trying to get back to the ball, but Zach will hit it out. 02:56:21.340 --> 02:56:24.340 We're seeing good plays with a big bump on Kofor who will still go up for the ball, 02:56:24.340 --> 02:56:27.340 but didn't get there in time because of that bump. 02:56:27.340 --> 02:56:29.340 Berskiller will try to catch it and pass it off to the side. 02:56:29.340 --> 02:56:32.340 Diaz down to reveal. 02:56:32.340 --> 02:56:35.340 Big demo from reveal will get some space. 02:56:35.340 --> 02:56:39.340 He has pre-jumping. Gets a hit down to the corner. 02:56:39.340 --> 02:56:41.340 I had the chance, but he can't get back to it. 02:56:41.340 --> 02:56:45.340 Maybe he was hoping for a bump on LJ. He already left the wall. 02:56:45.340 --> 02:56:49.340 I mean, if you're not even winning that 50, you're the first killer in the corner. 02:56:49.340 --> 02:56:52.340 If you're just in full retreat, there's nothing you can do. 02:56:52.340 --> 02:56:56.340 Cope foretakes the midfield boost. The first killer will have to leave. 02:56:56.340 --> 02:57:00.340 LJ was getting bumped by Reveal. The first killer around the corner. 02:57:00.340 --> 02:57:08.340 Not gonna get anything there. Good release from Space Station, but reveal to the right side and LJ can't find the land! 02:57:08.340 --> 02:57:14.340 This completely faked out the defense. It looked like reveal was gonna go for a scam or a redirect or something. 02:57:14.340 --> 02:57:22.340 And you can see LJ's playing that option. He just lets it bounce and then bamboozles the defense. 02:57:22.340 --> 02:57:27.340 Not a pretty goal, but SSG will take it. 02:57:27.340 --> 02:57:29.340 Hold that one out of the spam folder. 02:57:29.340 --> 02:57:31.340 You go take it. 02:57:31.340 --> 02:57:33.340 Here's LJ. 02:57:33.340 --> 02:57:35.340 Not the shot you want. 02:57:35.340 --> 02:57:37.340 First killer. 02:57:37.340 --> 02:57:39.340 A little popper. 02:57:39.340 --> 02:57:41.340 DS has no moves. 02:57:41.340 --> 02:57:44.340 Kofa happy to let him play that ball if he wanted to. 02:57:44.340 --> 02:57:46.340 And he'll bring it straight down. 02:57:46.340 --> 02:57:48.340 Reveal it's just too high. 02:57:48.340 --> 02:57:50.340 First killer. 02:57:50.340 --> 02:57:52.340 First killer's winning every 50 he goes for right now. 02:57:52.340 --> 02:57:53.340 Even here. 02:57:53.340 --> 02:57:54.340 Rips it out of Zach's hands. 02:57:54.340 --> 02:57:56.340 Kofa in the area. 02:57:56.340 --> 02:58:04.340 I know the ball just seems to stick to their cars. 02:58:04.340 --> 02:58:05.340 I don't even understand that one. 02:58:05.340 --> 02:58:06.340 That's a great drop pass. 02:58:06.340 --> 02:58:08.340 First killer denied though. 02:58:08.340 --> 02:58:11.340 See if Gilbert can keep cooking. 02:58:11.340 --> 02:58:12.340 Landing upon. 02:58:12.340 --> 02:58:14.340 There's a demo at the midfield first killer. 02:58:14.340 --> 02:58:18.340 It does move the ball upfield and get that corner boost. 02:58:18.340 --> 02:58:22.340 But SSG still able to break out. 02:58:22.340 --> 02:58:24.340 That's what's for them so far. 02:58:26.340 --> 02:58:28.340 Kofor coming up. 02:58:28.340 --> 02:58:30.340 Zach racing around. 02:58:30.340 --> 02:58:32.340 Kofor taking his space. 02:58:32.340 --> 02:58:34.340 LJ had demo Diaz. 02:58:34.340 --> 02:58:36.340 Still Space Station get a decent 50. 02:58:36.340 --> 02:58:38.340 Revealed getting demo. 02:58:38.340 --> 02:58:40.340 Who's stolen by Diaz against Kofor. 02:58:40.340 --> 02:58:41.340 Kofor will have to go. 02:58:41.340 --> 02:58:42.340 He's actually just on small pads. 02:58:42.340 --> 02:58:43.340 Going down field. 02:58:43.340 --> 02:58:44.340 He sees first go behind the ball. 02:58:44.340 --> 02:58:45.340 He says go. 02:58:45.340 --> 02:58:46.340 But it kicks away. 02:58:46.340 --> 02:58:48.340 Good touch and a good follow-up there by Reveal. 02:58:48.340 --> 02:58:50.340 Zach makes like a fake pass. 02:58:50.340 --> 02:58:57.020 But if the demo denies them their reveal backwards comfort trying to get in the way the space station are hunting for it 02:58:57.020 --> 02:59:01.260 But rebellion are beating them more ways than one here all fall 02:59:01.820 --> 02:59:07.460 Smart play from first killer. He saw through that fake. He knew that the player he demoed was the real threat 02:59:08.460 --> 02:59:11.260 First killer having a heck of a series so far 02:59:11.260 --> 02:59:22.260 pass as well. LJ working last man waiting for a chance to go in. Now bounces the shot from 02:59:22.260 --> 02:59:28.980 LJ. It's almost in, but Diaz strong play on the back line. No dunk for first killer. 02:59:28.980 --> 02:59:36.820 Go for half a foot back. LJ on the wall. No touch, no quick follow up. So LJ wasn't 02:59:36.820 --> 02:59:41.140 uncomfortable for too long. Now he's downfield waiting for the 50. All a 02:59:41.140 --> 02:59:45.220 rebellion commit on the play. LJ gets back quickly. He gets a nice high touch 02:59:45.220 --> 02:59:49.260 and he gets to follow it up as well. First killer just running through it and 02:59:49.260 --> 02:59:54.100 rebellion on the board. And how many times has LJ been at the heart of these 02:59:54.100 --> 02:59:59.500 plays, gets to the ball, gets a high hit on it, forces an awkward rebound 02:59:59.500 --> 03:00:04.540 for SSG and again it's cleaned up by first killer LJ. The catalyst on so 03:00:04.540 --> 03:00:07.540 How many of these plays were shot by Rebellion? 03:00:07.540 --> 03:00:12.540 So hard to beat when all three players on Rebellion are lost the way they are. 03:00:12.540 --> 03:00:14.540 That kicks away from Zach. 03:00:14.540 --> 03:00:20.540 Make the 50 work, but with the way Rebellion have played the 50 game, 03:00:20.540 --> 03:00:24.540 you almost got to try to bring Rebellion to you instead of you going to Rebellion. 03:00:24.540 --> 03:00:26.540 You haven't had a lot of success winning these 50s. 03:00:26.540 --> 03:00:28.540 Hope for the LJ. 03:00:28.540 --> 03:00:31.540 LJ to the wide side is McStation's rotation. 03:00:31.540 --> 03:00:37.660 DS doesn't get it for Vio. Get you done for LJ. But LJ uncomfortable. You said it James zero moves 03:00:38.260 --> 03:00:44.300 Have a single small pad near the end of that place still a struggle the ball 50 down to the corner 03:00:44.300 --> 03:00:48.260 But low boost for rebellion. They're trying to keep their head above water right now 03:00:49.780 --> 03:00:53.420 Okay, it's just doing whatever he wants. He's just winning 50s picking up small pads 03:00:53.420 --> 03:00:58.220 The golden path works out for LJ, but they can't find that game leading goal just yet 03:00:58.220 --> 03:01:05.540 You're out for reveal. Zack on the wing. Reveal gets through one. 03:01:05.540 --> 03:01:10.200 Layers always there for rebellion on defense.

Individual ability in the rotation as reveal. 03:01:21.820 --> 03:01:26.020 Thanks to 50, but there's just no window for Diaz to shoot. 03:01:26.020 --> 03:01:30.980 And Xena SSG start to get this boost out of Rebellion. 03:01:30.980 --> 03:01:32.540 Rebellion keeps getting forced back. 03:01:32.540 --> 03:01:33.860 They've been in low-boost situations, 03:01:33.860 --> 03:01:35.220 but they keep finding a way out now. 03:01:35.220 --> 03:01:36.220 LJ looking for a path. 03:01:36.220 --> 03:01:38.980 Oh, first killer almost scoring. 03:01:38.980 --> 03:01:41.620 But Diaz again, getting the save. 03:01:41.620 --> 03:01:43.980 Diaz, heroics on defense. 03:01:43.980 --> 03:01:46.620 Starting to get a little normal here this weekend. 03:01:46.620 --> 03:01:48.940 They keep Space Station alive. 03:01:48.940 --> 03:01:50.500 They don't want to go down 0-3. 03:01:50.500 --> 03:01:51.260 He keeps it up. 03:01:51.260 --> 03:01:52.540 He would love to go up 3-0. 03:01:52.540 --> 03:01:53.500 Last full boost. 03:01:53.500 --> 03:01:54.580 And he might get this one. 03:01:54.580 --> 03:01:59.180 And he's been lethal, but look at Reveal, forcing OT. 03:01:59.180 --> 03:02:02.460 That could have been bad for SSG, but they survived to OT, 03:02:02.460 --> 03:02:04.540 but a must win game here. 03:02:04.540 --> 03:02:08.460 Zach on no boost gets intercepted by LG, but he gives it away. 03:02:08.460 --> 03:02:10.860 First kill has got to catch. 03:02:10.860 --> 03:02:12.860 He's out of space. 03:02:12.860 --> 03:02:14.860 I don't think that touches what he wanted getting down, 03:02:14.860 --> 03:02:15.860 but first kill made it work. 03:02:15.860 --> 03:02:17.860 Somehow he's getting through Space Station. 03:02:17.860 --> 03:02:18.660 He wants the boost. 03:02:18.660 --> 03:02:20.940 He actually missed the boost, and now he gets deviled. 03:02:20.940 --> 03:02:22.220 And Kofa's got the ball. 03:02:22.220 --> 03:02:26.020 Kofur gets over another one and space station it's just never comfortable. 03:02:26.020 --> 03:02:28.620 Here's the transition from reveal.

Musty to get it over everybody. It's uncomfortable, 03:02:56.420 --> 03:02:59.420 LJ! First killer knows. There ain't no way he's getting it up all. 03:02:59.420 --> 03:03:03.420 Yeah, first killer did not want to dive in. That would have been all in for rebellion. 03:03:03.420 --> 03:03:06.420 Ops to play it safe. Looks like the right call. 03:03:06.420 --> 03:03:09.420 LJ trying to get a 50. Bounce out past first killer. 03:03:09.420 --> 03:03:14.420 LJ needs to get back. First killer will pop it up to LJ who's rotating back. 03:03:14.420 --> 03:03:17.420 Doesn't get a touch on the ball, but first killer does because they're in time. 03:03:17.420 --> 03:03:20.420 trying to get a hit on it, fakes it past him. 03:03:20.420 --> 03:03:22.760 That actually gives the ball over to SSG. 03:03:24.300 --> 03:03:25.220 Oh, sure, it's what he wanted. 03:03:25.220 --> 03:03:26.760 Now Diaz just rips it. 03:03:26.760 --> 03:03:28.500 First killer's ready for that. 03:03:28.500 --> 03:03:30.980 Saw Space Station lurking up beyond the midfield line. 03:03:30.980 --> 03:03:32.820 It was Zack, but he finds the way back to reveal. 03:03:32.820 --> 03:03:34.140 Kofa having to jump up. 03:03:34.140 --> 03:03:35.460 Diaz is waiting. 03:03:35.460 --> 03:03:36.660 Diaz still waiting. 03:03:36.660 --> 03:03:37.660 Look at that. 03:03:37.660 --> 03:03:39.100 They might get some space for him. 03:03:39.100 --> 03:03:41.100 He's got no boost left when he got to the ball. 03:03:41.100 --> 03:03:42.340 Zack's got a full tank. 03:03:42.340 --> 03:03:44.580 Just rips it towards Nick. 03:03:44.580 --> 03:03:46.020 Rebellion under suppressor. 03:03:46.020 --> 03:03:48.020 Reveal tries to get for the double. 03:03:48.020 --> 03:03:51.020 Could not go under first killer and get it on target. 03:03:51.020 --> 03:03:52.020 Diaz keeps it in place. 03:03:52.020 --> 03:03:54.020 Zack is on small pass at the top of the box. 03:03:54.020 --> 03:03:56.020 Reveal is just parked. 03:03:56.020 --> 03:03:58.020 The midfield boost spawns for him, but he can't go. 03:03:58.020 --> 03:04:02.020 So many times this game, SSG has had suffocating pressure 03:04:02.020 --> 03:04:04.020 and gotten all the boost out of the tanks of rebellion, 03:04:04.020 --> 03:04:07.020 but rebellion, they've been showing their determination, 03:04:07.020 --> 03:04:09.020 getting those stuff all over. 03:04:09.020 --> 03:04:11.020 Sober and open that reveal. 03:04:11.020 --> 03:04:14.020 We'll get the OG winner for SSG. 03:04:14.020 --> 03:04:16.860 Zack finally gets what he needs here. 03:04:16.860 --> 03:04:20.840 First killer couldn't handle the ball and Zack is like right there. 03:04:20.840 --> 03:04:23.440 Pace for pace with Kofa who would have gotten that clear. 03:04:23.440 --> 03:04:29.680 But Zack takes the boost away, takes Kofa away, and takes the game away from Rebellion. 03:04:29.680 --> 03:04:32.300 A must win victory in game. 03:04:32.300 --> 03:04:33.480 Boost dominance. 03:04:33.480 --> 03:04:35.780 Boost dominance. 03:04:35.780 --> 03:04:39.640 For SSG, you saw how many times Rebellion was all the way back. 03:04:39.640 --> 03:04:42.980 They barely got out multiple times. 03:04:42.980 --> 03:04:45.740 But on that one you saw there was a race to the corner boost 03:04:46.140 --> 03:04:51.600 It was a race to the corner boost Zach ends up winning that race and he knows that he knows 03:04:52.180 --> 03:04:59.320 That copper has nothing in the tech has zero moves all he's got to do is just beat him on that one touch and trust 03:04:59.540 --> 03:05:05.060 That the rebound will be scored by a teammate and it was a gorgeous race win a gorgeous pass 03:05:05.860 --> 03:05:09.700 And a deserved win for space station gaming in that game Jorby 03:05:09.700 --> 03:05:11.140 They looked like they were the better team 03:05:11.140 --> 03:05:14.620 and majority of that game, pushing Rebellion to their limit. 03:05:14.620 --> 03:05:16.580 Rebellion to their credit almost held on, 03:05:16.580 --> 03:05:20.460 almost stole that game, but SSG was just too much. 03:05:20.460 --> 03:05:23.220 And despite Space Station controlling the game, James, 03:05:23.220 --> 03:05:26.340 no shortage of offense there from Rebellion. 03:05:26.340 --> 03:05:29.140 Space Station forced to make nine saves on the ball. 03:05:29.140 --> 03:05:32.620 Diaz getting a double savior medal in that game. 03:05:32.620 --> 03:05:35.540 Like Diaz's defense yesterday, Immaculate. 03:05:35.540 --> 03:05:39.420 Diaz's defense in game three here, Immaculate. 03:05:39.420 --> 03:05:43.460 and space station, just like that back in the series, 03:05:43.460 --> 03:05:45.060 can they keep it going? 03:05:45.060 --> 03:05:47.020 Bellion still had some good pushes 03:05:47.020 --> 03:05:49.420 despite space station controlling this game. 03:05:49.420 --> 03:05:51.340 So often I was saying yesterday 03:05:51.340 --> 03:05:54.100 during the VP space station series, 03:05:54.100 --> 03:05:56.380 comes down to boost so often 03:05:56.380 --> 03:05:58.460 as you were just pointing out the very end. 03:05:58.460 --> 03:06:01.020 You get a boost steal, the difference between you 03:06:01.020 --> 03:06:02.900 with getting a tip in or the ball getting cleared 03:06:02.900 --> 03:06:06.020 the whole way down the field and back in your own net. 03:06:06.020 --> 03:06:08.300 Yeah, maybe change up your boost approach. 03:06:08.300 --> 03:06:11.320 maybe if you've been really going for all those corners, 03:06:11.320 --> 03:06:13.160 those hundred boosts, hold up. 03:06:14.160 --> 03:06:17.260 You just mix it up, try to go for some fakes, 03:06:17.260 --> 03:06:20.740 keep every little bit of boost that you can in the tank, 03:06:20.740 --> 03:06:22.460 burn those small pads, something. 03:06:23.500 --> 03:06:25.820 And so you just saw how devastating it was for rebellion 03:06:25.820 --> 03:06:28.620 to be on empty that long in multiple exchanges. 03:06:31.580 --> 03:06:33.400 Hofer, we'll just send it. 03:06:33.400 --> 03:06:46.400 Space Station down the gap rebellion rotation was split wide and reveal just knocked him down himself with the whole middle of the field was open here for space station. 03:06:46.400 --> 03:06:59.400 This was a sick flip reset. Perfect catch on the reset and the touch on the ball allows him to get back to the ball utilizing that flip to get a perfect shot. 03:06:59.400 --> 03:07:03.400 That is so mechanical, so good for Merveel. 03:07:04.400 --> 03:07:08.400 And that opportunity opens up again because you saw First Killer rotating back. 03:07:08.400 --> 03:07:11.400 He didn't have any boost. He tried to the midfield, it was taken away. 03:07:11.400 --> 03:07:14.400 And you had LJ on the other side, he was nowhere near the play. 03:07:14.400 --> 03:07:17.400 First Killer did his best to get into position. 03:07:17.400 --> 03:07:20.400 Got close to the play regardless, but it just shows you that's the gap. 03:07:20.400 --> 03:07:25.400 That a boost deal can open for you and this is the gap a pause can give you in between our game. 03:07:25.400 --> 03:07:30.200 our game. Thank you so much for tuning in to dot TV slash Rocket League here. We're pausing 03:07:30.200 --> 03:07:37.000 for station identification as Shopify Rebellion trying to hold this series lead against space 03:07:37.000 --> 03:07:42.520 station but right now finding it a struggle to put the ball in the net. Yeah pause being called 03:07:42.520 --> 03:07:49.880 by Zach from space station gaming. Paul granted or pause granted by the admin so we'll see 03:07:50.840 --> 03:07:55.080 where we start looks like the clock right around four minutes. I would expect to start from a 03:07:55.080 --> 03:07:59.240 kickoff doesn't look like anyone's DC'd just looks like a simple situation where 03:07:59.960 --> 03:08:07.000 computer having a bit of a hiccup but now things are looking good so we'll see what the admin call is 03:08:07.000 --> 03:08:16.200 on that but overall I think that last game SSG using their only time out it was a must win game 03:08:16.200 --> 03:08:22.120 they get the job done not only get the job done but in a really convincing fashion with how 03:08:22.120 --> 03:08:24.120 how much they were able to control the boost, 03:08:24.120 --> 03:08:26.720 how much they kept rebellion uncomfortable. 03:08:27.800 --> 03:08:31.040 You saw rebellion really not able to work their way out 03:08:31.040 --> 03:08:33.160 in that overtime. 03:08:33.160 --> 03:08:35.880 And then starting out this game as well, 03:08:35.880 --> 03:08:40.040 huge play from Reveal to be able to get a pixel perfect 03:08:40.040 --> 03:08:43.500 reset and slot that past the defense. 03:08:43.500 --> 03:08:47.520 That was an incredibly difficult shot 03:08:47.520 --> 03:08:49.420 to make, making it look easy. 03:08:49.420 --> 03:08:51.460 And now getting this lead. 03:08:51.460 --> 03:08:54.820 So if SSG can keep going with this momentum, 03:08:54.820 --> 03:08:58.380 you really have to be worried for Shopify Rebellion. 03:08:58.380 --> 03:08:59.780 Reveal even in the last game, 03:08:59.780 --> 03:09:01.620 opened the scoring up with that fake, 03:09:02.460 --> 03:09:04.580 with our between him and Zack, 03:09:04.580 --> 03:09:07.940 the head that left LJ flopping around in the net. 03:09:07.940 --> 03:09:10.220 Reveal is really waking up here 03:09:10.220 --> 03:09:12.260 after the first two games of the series. 03:09:13.300 --> 03:09:15.260 It might start getting worried. 03:09:15.260 --> 03:09:17.340 If you're a rebellion fan at this point, 03:09:17.340 --> 03:09:19.700 a minute in and space station got that first goal 03:09:19.700 --> 03:09:20.700 right off the kickoff. 03:09:20.700 --> 03:09:23.700 Zack will get control of it. 03:09:23.700 --> 03:09:25.700 Rebellion did have some offense. 03:09:25.700 --> 03:09:29.060 Nine saves out of space station in the last game. 03:09:29.060 --> 03:09:31.780 So far in this opening minute, only one shot registered 03:09:31.780 --> 03:09:32.580 by First Killer. 03:09:32.580 --> 03:09:34.260 Diaz has a 50. 03:09:34.260 --> 03:09:36.180 Almost got dunked off the bar. 03:09:36.180 --> 03:09:37.660 Zack will beat Koper to the place. 03:09:37.660 --> 03:09:40.300 You see no boost for anybody on Rebellion right now. 03:09:40.300 --> 03:09:41.900 It's a precarious position. 03:09:41.900 --> 03:09:42.900 First Killer gets that touch. 03:09:42.900 --> 03:09:44.780 Koper will get his corner boost. 03:09:44.780 --> 03:09:46.500 And try to win this 50 reveal, 03:09:46.500 --> 03:09:48.180 making that a little more difficult. 03:09:48.180 --> 03:09:53.620 LJ also, nothing in the tank, and finally Rebellion get to breathe just a little bit. 03:09:53.620 --> 03:09:56.740 Still a chance though for Zack, and he just can't get enough power. 03:09:56.740 --> 03:10:00.620 Goes for goal, trying to get that boost, looked out again. 03:10:02.620 --> 03:10:05.700 You're trying to get boost out of the defense, trying to put shots on target, 03:10:05.700 --> 03:10:08.500 put it high off the backboard, force him to use it. 03:10:08.500 --> 03:10:11.220 Now see a demo from First Killer, trying to get some space for Kofa. 03:10:11.220 --> 03:10:14.740 Kofa, reset, pushes forward with Zack. 03:10:14.740 --> 03:10:16.260 Clear that off to the side. 03:10:16.260 --> 03:10:18.260 Good read. 03:10:18.260 --> 03:10:24.260 LJ trying to beat him off the sidewall and then reveal reads that instantly. 03:10:24.260 --> 03:10:26.260 He's definitely locked in right now. 03:10:26.260 --> 03:10:28.260 Gopher got the grab though. 03:10:28.260 --> 03:10:30.260 Reveal and Zack waiting for it. 03:10:30.260 --> 03:10:36.260 It's Diaz who gets the punch away and will buy some time as all the state stations were almost converging on each other there. 03:10:36.260 --> 03:10:39.260 But they get the clear and they're able to stabilize. 03:10:39.260 --> 03:10:42.260 Now J, getting that boom and dodging the demo. 03:10:42.260 --> 03:10:45.580 Watching the demo, but LJ low boost now hoping that corner will spawn. 03:10:45.580 --> 03:10:48.100 It does right after he leads. 03:10:48.100 --> 03:10:50.340 Tough break for LJ. 03:10:50.340 --> 03:10:53.220 Kofert has to use up his boost to try to get this clear out. 03:10:53.220 --> 03:10:54.620 First killer, little tip on it. 03:10:54.620 --> 03:10:58.340 Kofert, demoed in the corner and LJ bumped at the midfield. 03:10:58.340 --> 03:11:01.020 This is space for SSG on the counter attack. 03:11:01.020 --> 03:11:03.460 Revealum created it. 03:11:03.460 --> 03:11:05.100 Good 50, though, from first killer. 03:11:05.100 --> 03:11:09.060 Space Station were lurking up revealers thinking that was coming straight down. 03:11:09.060 --> 03:11:11.060 Instead, they have to get back to the corner. 03:11:11.060 --> 03:11:13.020 And that's a great 50 from Diaz. 03:11:13.020 --> 03:11:14.260 He also has some boost as well. 03:11:14.260 --> 03:11:15.500 Reveal with a double reset. 03:11:15.500 --> 03:11:16.660 Reveal, no dunk. 03:11:16.660 --> 03:11:17.740 He lost the ball. 03:11:17.740 --> 03:11:19.820 Zack trying to hold it. 03:11:19.820 --> 03:11:22.740 And first killer and Kofur making sure they don't actually 03:11:22.740 --> 03:11:23.700 get a shot on net. 03:11:23.700 --> 03:11:25.620 That was looking dangerous for a second. 03:11:25.620 --> 03:11:26.740 It was looking dangerous. 03:11:26.740 --> 03:11:29.740 First killer had to fight through contact from Diaz, 03:11:29.740 --> 03:11:31.060 who was landing some bumps on him. 03:11:31.060 --> 03:11:34.500 But first killer still fought through it to get that save. 03:11:34.500 --> 03:11:35.460 Now he reloads. 03:11:35.460 --> 03:11:38.020 First killer leaves up for Kofur. 03:11:38.020 --> 03:11:42.020 Maybe that was going to be a fake, because that was sitting right underneath Kofa there. 03:11:43.520 --> 03:11:45.520 Diaz demoed by First Killer. 03:11:46.020 --> 03:11:50.520 Space Station have held this lead for a very long time. 03:11:51.520 --> 03:11:57.520 Kofa flipping around, Rebellion only three shots on net after three plus minutes of gameplay. 03:11:58.020 --> 03:12:02.020 There was their fourth, here's First Killer, no boost left. 03:12:02.020 --> 03:12:06.540 That actually helps rebellion and an error from space station 03:12:06.540 --> 03:12:08.540 helps rebellion tie the game. 03:12:08.540 --> 03:12:11.040 Yeah, you can see Zack didn't have any boost. 03:12:11.040 --> 03:12:15.280 Maybe he should have left that one for Reveal, who had some boost in the tank. 03:12:15.280 --> 03:12:18.580 Zack maybe thinking somebody was taking a shot over his shook shoulder, 03:12:18.580 --> 03:12:22.740 didn't have a vision on the play, but definitely had the time. 03:12:22.740 --> 03:12:26.940 So a misstep there from Zack really costs SSG. 03:12:28.140 --> 03:12:30.420 I wonder what the comms were in that moment. 03:12:30.420 --> 03:12:31.920 Reveal was on the wall. 03:12:31.920 --> 03:12:36.080 Maybe Zack's expecting him to stay there while he cuts it underneath out of the way it comes 03:12:36.880 --> 03:12:39.480 Mistake mis-touch all of it for lessens 03:12:40.320 --> 03:12:43.240 Then you losing your lead that you held for about three minutes. Oh 03:12:43.840 --> 03:12:46.480 What a pass the shot just wide to the net 03:12:47.040 --> 03:12:53.320 They're gonna get the boost steel Diaz has a full tank as well reveal got the midfield Diaz forces the 50s just wide 03:12:53.480 --> 03:12:59.140 Those squint are squeak across back over to reveal reveal will not let anyone headlock him 03:12:59.140 --> 03:13:01.140 But that got tossed in Rebellion right now. 03:13:01.140 --> 03:13:04.140 And Diaz is just going from corner-boost to corner-boost. 03:13:04.140 --> 03:13:07.140 Also landing demos, but it doesn't matter. 03:13:07.140 --> 03:13:09.140 The counter-attack is good for Rebellion. 03:13:09.140 --> 03:13:14.140 While they're busy boost-starving, Rebellion is busy moving his ball downfield. 03:13:14.140 --> 03:13:18.140 Oh, Kofi, he got Zach on a string. 03:13:18.140 --> 03:13:20.140 Looks like he's going to go up across. 03:13:20.140 --> 03:13:23.140 Maybe he'll swing it up, try to get a pass out to the midfield. 03:13:23.140 --> 03:13:27.140 Kofi just slips right underneath him and makes it easy. 03:13:27.140 --> 03:13:30.260 The DS couldn't even get back there in time, either. 03:13:30.260 --> 03:13:32.060 Kofir in the corner today, James. 03:13:32.060 --> 03:13:34.580 I mean, he has just been so hard to beat, 03:13:34.580 --> 03:13:36.820 whether it's a fifth or if he's got possession of the ball, 03:13:36.820 --> 03:13:38.980 actually getting that ball away from Kofir 03:13:38.980 --> 03:13:40.740 is proving to be a little too difficult. 03:13:40.740 --> 03:13:42.020 That's PlayStation. 03:13:42.020 --> 03:13:44.660 Game looking like it was well in hand 03:13:44.660 --> 03:13:47.460 is now almost out of reach as Zack 03:13:48.500 --> 03:13:50.480 will fake his touch and reveal. 03:13:50.480 --> 03:13:51.820 It's one more chance at it. 03:13:51.820 --> 03:13:54.180 Keeps on drilling it, but there's first killer 03:13:54.180 --> 03:13:56.820 to knock it away and LJ gets underneath it. 03:13:56.820 --> 03:13:59.100 It's looking like a rebellion victory here. 03:13:59.100 --> 03:14:02.420 And that space station can pull some magic with DS. 03:14:02.420 --> 03:14:03.740 Zack, have to do it. 03:14:03.740 --> 03:14:04.620 He's got the boost here. 03:14:04.620 --> 03:14:07.460 Doesn't, and Rebellion will get the win. 03:14:07.460 --> 03:14:10.300 And you mentioned Kofa, Jarvie Kofa, 03:14:10.300 --> 03:14:11.940 the assist on that play. 03:14:11.940 --> 03:14:16.100 Also, counting on the mistake from Zack, earlier, 03:14:16.100 --> 03:14:18.940 Kofa is playing with so much confidence. 03:14:18.940 --> 03:14:23.020 It feels like Kofa at times has been 03:14:23.020 --> 03:14:24.620 the question mark on the rebellion team, 03:14:24.620 --> 03:14:26.540 but in this series has really stepped up, 03:14:26.540 --> 03:14:28.720 has looked comfortable. 03:14:28.720 --> 03:14:30.660 Has gotten the job done, especially 03:14:30.660 --> 03:14:32.980 in this game for Rebellion. 03:14:32.980 --> 03:14:34.100 Yeah, comfort. 03:14:34.100 --> 03:14:36.460 And Violet Panda talked about it in his last interview 03:14:36.460 --> 03:14:40.540 that a lot of Rebellion's issues came down to mental, 03:14:40.540 --> 03:14:43.540 came down to the nerves that we talked about a lot. 03:14:43.540 --> 03:14:47.180 And you could see that in Kofors playing last split. 03:14:47.180 --> 03:14:49.740 And you could even see it maybe a little bit 03:14:49.740 --> 03:14:52.380 on their defense even last open. 03:14:52.380 --> 03:14:54.380 But you could see that the offense and the game 03:14:54.380 --> 03:15:01.180 New downfield so much more often, but you got to expect it when they picked him up from his forward team on spade station and 03:15:01.940 --> 03:15:09.320 To crime this out the station again. We're looking like they were controlling the pace of playing rebellion were under duress a lot 03:15:09.320 --> 03:15:15.660 We talked about the boost steel the boost has been at a premium when it comes to rebellion having to survive 03:15:15.660 --> 03:15:21.620 But you overdo it you open up a gap and kofa finds a way through he's playing extremely well 03:15:21.620 --> 03:15:29.120 And certainly I mean that whole series of events prior to that goal was one where SSG was starting to tighten their grip 03:15:29.120 --> 03:15:31.120 They were doing more of what they had been doing previously 03:15:31.120 --> 03:15:33.280 It's just steal those big booths keep 03:15:34.040 --> 03:15:37.160 SSG in their net on their backboard keep them awkward 03:15:37.160 --> 03:15:43.360 You could even see Diaz was racing back just behind Kofa because Diaz was busy going for a back-to-back 03:15:43.760 --> 03:15:45.760 corner boost steals trying to 03:15:45.760 --> 03:15:51.860 to keep Rebellion empty, but Kofor still just effectively takes that ball down field 03:15:51.860 --> 03:15:57.240 on low boost, picks up the mid-boost, puts it to work, finds the open man, and really 03:15:57.240 --> 03:16:01.400 punishes SSG for tunnel visioning on that boost stealer. 03:16:01.400 --> 03:16:07.560 Space station found themselves in this exact spot yesterday against Virtus Pro, down 03:16:07.560 --> 03:16:11.620 3-1 in the series before eventually coming back. 03:16:11.620 --> 03:16:12.580 Oh, oh, oh, oh. 03:16:12.580 --> 03:16:13.860 Hit it with two front opponent. 03:16:13.860 --> 03:16:15.460 That was almost a rebellion goal. 03:16:15.460 --> 03:16:18.460 His first kill was shot, raked it off the post, 03:16:18.460 --> 03:16:20.020 and that double-touch denied. 03:16:20.020 --> 03:16:22.460 Great shot from Reveal getting in the way. 03:16:22.460 --> 03:16:23.420 A heavy back pass. 03:16:23.420 --> 03:16:27.020 Cobra had to react quickly to get a piece on that one. 03:16:27.020 --> 03:16:30.340 Hot start here for Rebellion. 03:16:30.340 --> 03:16:34.420 Diaz up very early, trying to get the 50. 03:16:34.420 --> 03:16:35.780 Big boost crap for LG. 03:16:35.780 --> 03:16:38.540 Somehow, LG got that corner boost. 03:16:38.540 --> 03:16:40.380 Totally killed the push, too. 03:16:40.380 --> 03:16:43.820 That's the difference of the 50-50 now, the 2 on 1 is Diaz! 03:16:43.820 --> 03:16:46.940 What the heck, Zac, defensive heroic, don't go anywhere! 03:16:48.140 --> 03:16:52.220 Make save, got that one was going in, now a chance. 03:16:52.220 --> 03:16:55.900 Work, SSG, but that one saved by Kofur, now first killer up. 03:16:56.860 --> 03:16:58.860 And, look at that, he's shielding. 03:16:58.860 --> 03:17:01.340 Yeah, I'm sorry, Jay, they just play so aggressively, 03:17:01.340 --> 03:17:04.300 like Zac was right behind reveal on that play, at the top of the box. 03:17:04.300 --> 03:17:06.780 So easy for that 50, just a rip over your head. 03:17:06.780 --> 03:17:08.780 Zack makes it work!

Diaz had to dodge a bump on that play as well. 03:28:11.920 --> 03:28:15.920 If he gets bumped in that situation, that was going to be a goal for Rebellion. 03:28:15.920 --> 03:28:20.920 So Diaz, a huge play from him, stepping up, dodging those bumps, 03:28:20.920 --> 03:28:24.920 that defensive stop for SSG in a key moment in the game. 03:28:24.920 --> 03:28:27.920 Diaz going that quick. 03:28:27.920 --> 03:28:29.920 First killer making short. 03:28:29.920 --> 03:28:32.920 And he can't collect that corner boost and has to go up high. 03:28:32.920 --> 03:28:33.920 LJ! 03:28:33.920 --> 03:28:35.920 How do you bounce that shot? 03:28:35.920 --> 03:28:36.920 Amazon! 03:28:36.920 --> 03:28:38.920 How do you bounce that shot? 03:28:38.920 --> 03:28:39.920 I don't even know. 03:28:39.920 --> 03:28:45.920 You're expecting the ground pitch, but he bounces it past that four post? 03:28:45.920 --> 03:28:56.720 I'm geeking out today man, I mean, this series, guys keep it going, give me more of this please, 03:28:56.720 --> 03:29:01.720 both sides, I don't care who, just please keep hitting the six shots. 03:29:01.720 --> 03:29:06.440 Rebellion might be able to do this, a tip-off, LJ gets the top, I thought he was going to 03:29:06.440 --> 03:29:11.720 fake it for a teammate, and now Rebellion low boost, first killer, quarter of a tank 03:29:11.720 --> 03:29:15.640 going for the corners act, we kick back towards net. 03:29:15.640 --> 03:29:21.280 Rebellion survived.

03:46:46.700 --> 03:46:47.620 Chronic. 03:46:47.620 --> 03:46:50.260 Chronic is absolutely locked in, bro. 03:46:50.260 --> 03:46:53.940 Like I have been so impressed with his play 03:46:53.940 --> 03:46:56.540 and him and Justin together are lethal. 03:46:56.540 --> 03:47:00.740 And I think this is not going to be a walk in the park 03:47:00.740 --> 03:47:02.140 for NRG at all. 03:47:03.340 --> 03:47:04.600 James. 03:47:04.600 --> 03:47:06.300 Yeah, I was gonna say, James, 03:47:06.300 --> 03:47:07.740 you think it's a walk in the park? 03:47:07.740 --> 03:47:08.940 Is it gonna be a battle? 03:47:10.080 --> 03:47:12.780 I think that, you know, it could be a battle, 03:47:12.780 --> 03:47:15.980 But when you look at foot, they're kind of their history, 03:47:15.980 --> 03:47:19.020 their matches, they really struggle with those big three 03:47:19.020 --> 03:47:23.260 other teams, but they were able to get a huge win against 03:47:23.260 --> 03:47:26.260 Shopify Rebellion, who's sitting in the grand finals already. 03:47:26.260 --> 03:47:29.740 This could be the weekend where we see foot really break out. 03:47:29.740 --> 03:47:34.060 But I mean, NRG is an insanely difficult team 03:47:34.060 --> 03:47:34.980 to match up against. 03:47:34.980 --> 03:47:36.980 I think the last time these two played, 03:47:36.980 --> 03:47:39.340 NRG swept them in a best of seven. 03:47:39.340 --> 03:47:43.300 So, you know, NRG is going to be a huge challenge for FUT. 03:47:43.300 --> 03:47:46.940 But if FUT can bring that level of teamwork and synergy 03:47:46.940 --> 03:47:48.940 that we saw last time, maybe they can pull it off. 03:47:48.940 --> 03:47:52.180 Justin was remarkable, though, against Shopify Rebellion. 03:47:52.180 --> 03:47:54.220 He was hitting every shot, it seemed. 03:47:54.220 --> 03:47:56.420 Chronic also making some insane saves on defense, 03:47:56.420 --> 03:47:57.620 highly mechanical. 03:47:57.620 --> 03:47:59.380 And you know Cheezus is a great player. 03:47:59.380 --> 03:48:02.660 I think Cheez, you know, I'm glad to see him finally 03:48:02.660 --> 03:48:05.660 have, I think, a phenomenal team surrounding him 03:48:05.660 --> 03:48:07.900 that has that ability to make majors, 03:48:07.900 --> 03:48:09.940 has that ability to do well internationally. 03:48:09.940 --> 03:48:12.300 So if they can get all the pieces working, 03:48:12.300 --> 03:48:14.700 that is going to be what's required to beat NRG, 03:48:14.700 --> 03:48:17.180 who's looked very good over and over again. 03:48:17.180 --> 03:48:19.740 It's like, you know, NRG are the final boss 03:48:19.740 --> 03:48:20.660 of North America. 03:48:20.660 --> 03:48:24.500 They can just make grand finals, it seems like, every time. 03:48:24.500 --> 03:48:25.940 And they win a lot of them. 03:48:25.940 --> 03:48:28.100 So this will be the biggest test 03:48:28.100 --> 03:48:29.700 that Foot has had to face yet. 03:48:29.700 --> 03:48:30.540 You know what though? 03:48:30.540 --> 03:48:31.860 I'm looking at the progressive fan vote 03:48:31.860 --> 03:48:34.140 as everyone starts spamming that. 03:48:34.140 --> 03:48:36.740 I see a lot of FUT in chat right now. 03:48:36.740 --> 03:48:41.500 I actually think this one will be a little bit closer for the chat prediction, but is 03:48:41.500 --> 03:48:44.140 it going to be close for our predictions? 03:48:44.140 --> 03:48:48.460 James, am I safe to flip yours over? 03:48:48.460 --> 03:48:50.220 I have to go with NRG on this one. 03:48:50.220 --> 03:48:57.460 I did predict a foot final before, but I just feel like NRG is playing too well today, 03:48:57.460 --> 03:48:59.460 and we're going to see NRG get another original win. 03:48:59.460 --> 03:49:01.460 All right, Jarvis, I'm not going to skip you this time. 03:49:01.460 --> 03:49:02.460 Who are you going? 03:49:02.460 --> 03:49:03.460 Okay. 03:49:03.460 --> 03:49:08.460 Look, NRG might be the final boss, but if you've ever played Dark Souls, you know. 03:49:08.460 --> 03:49:11.460 You lose to the boss to try again. You lose to the boss to try again. 03:49:11.460 --> 03:49:16.460 You might lose to that boss 12 or 13 times in a row, which is exactly what has happened to 03:49:16.460 --> 03:49:19.460 every single upstart on Championship Sunday who tries to play NRG. 03:49:19.460 --> 03:49:23.460 But guess what? You keep on getting the souls. You keep on leveling up your stats. 03:49:23.460 --> 03:49:28.460 You keep on dodging the hits, and if you don't get hit and you hit the enemy, you win the game. 03:49:28.460 --> 03:49:32.460 They know it. They lost last time, but guess what? This time, Justin is locked in. 03:49:32.460 --> 03:49:34.300 product is unbeatable underneath this. 03:49:34.300 --> 03:49:37.460 Jesus look at Guna baby, get me, look, all day. 03:49:37.460 --> 03:49:39.940 Some people uninstall the games. 03:49:39.940 --> 03:49:43.020 Some people uninstall, just saying. 03:49:43.020 --> 03:49:44.900 Some people uninstall, they don't read it. 03:49:44.900 --> 03:49:50.420 I also want to point out that you said about 10 to 13 times 03:49:50.420 --> 03:49:52.540 and they haven't been there that many times here. 03:49:52.540 --> 03:49:55.260 So I don't think this is the one, Jorvi. 03:49:55.260 --> 03:49:57.420 I think it's an all event field event. 03:49:57.420 --> 03:49:59.060 10 to 13 times. 03:49:59.060 --> 03:50:00.780 Yeah, well I don't know about that one. 03:50:00.780 --> 03:50:03.840 There it is, not a big gap here from chat. 03:50:03.840 --> 03:50:06.780 41%, thinking Flip might have the chance 03:50:06.780 --> 03:50:09.220 on the one way to find out to play the game. 03:50:09.220 --> 03:50:11.220 Let's get into our next semi-final, 03:50:11.220 --> 03:50:13.140 our last semi-final, best of seven. 03:50:13.140 --> 03:50:14.180 Who's going to grand finals? 03:50:14.180 --> 03:50:15.860 NRG, a lot on the line here, 03:50:15.860 --> 03:50:18.660 but they want to just focus on this matchup right now. 03:50:18.660 --> 03:50:19.980 Can Flip overcome? 03:50:19.980 --> 03:50:21.860 Let's get into the match and find out. 03:50:26.180 --> 03:50:30.060 NRG versus Foot Esports here, 03:50:30.060 --> 03:50:33.660 Only one team can move on to the grand finals 03:50:33.660 --> 03:50:36.860 and Kirk, this one is going to be a banger game one 03:50:36.860 --> 03:50:39.000 by progressive starting up soon. 03:50:39.000 --> 03:50:41.260 I think banger is honestly an understatement. 03:50:41.260 --> 03:50:44.620 If a foot of these sports can absolutely show up 03:50:44.620 --> 03:50:46.740 and show out the way that we've seen them do 03:50:46.740 --> 03:50:48.140 throughout this weekend. 03:50:48.140 --> 03:50:51.740 Otherwise, this is just NRG's Champ Sunday 03:50:51.740 --> 03:50:53.580 like it always has been. 03:50:53.580 --> 03:50:55.460 Let's see if it fucking changed that here. 03:50:55.460 --> 03:50:57.900 Check off is live. 03:50:57.900 --> 03:51:02.060 been such a strong performance from both these teams. Justin on top of all, 03:51:02.060 --> 03:51:08.780 especially as the really solid over this weekend and both Justin, 03:51:08.780 --> 03:51:13.300 the rest of the play, they're trying to make a name for themselves and kind of 03:51:13.300 --> 03:51:18.180 show people, okay, this was a team may have been put together and not too many 03:51:18.180 --> 03:51:23.020 expectations going into things, but they have shaken North America's top four. 03:51:23.020 --> 03:51:27.540 Oh, for sure. This team is there. I'm like, they're coming together as a 03:51:27.540 --> 03:51:31.500 group that was all let go for various reasons and get everybody around the 03:51:31.500 --> 03:51:35.220 world for whatever reason thought that was the one that shouldn't have gone so 03:51:35.220 --> 03:51:39.260 now they've come together they formed this you know this dark horse roster and 03:51:39.260 --> 03:51:43.620 that's exactly what they've been doing performing as the dark horse roster of 03:51:43.620 --> 03:51:50.940 NA right now. Things already kind of starting off hot here back and forth 03:51:50.940 --> 03:51:56.940 between the two, Atomic, a bit of a 50 there and you see NRG, 03:51:56.940 --> 03:51:59.260 not necessarily, not really too many shots here. 03:51:59.260 --> 03:52:01.100 Mainly Justin with the first two. 03:52:01.100 --> 03:52:05.940 Early aggression has gone in favor of foot. 03:52:05.940 --> 03:52:07.580 But in argue with that possession, 03:52:07.580 --> 03:52:09.660 is Daniel trying to go up, follow up from Atomic, 03:52:09.660 --> 03:52:12.780 drop down, and a goal, I'd say, from Justin. 03:52:12.780 --> 03:52:15.020 Two down to Nose Dot to keep that one out. 03:52:15.020 --> 03:52:17.100 That's not only showing you how intense it's 03:52:17.100 --> 03:52:19.420 going to be to keep NRG out of their net, 03:52:19.420 --> 03:52:25.340 But also, there's going to be these moments where Flit are going to have to trust each other to solo defend 03:52:25.340 --> 03:52:30.940 because you've got to be able to be ready for those follow-up shots that NRG are just so known for. 03:52:31.940 --> 03:52:35.420 Right now, Flit continue to try and break out of their half. 03:52:35.420 --> 03:52:37.580 That small pass over to Justin carried them out. 03:52:37.580 --> 03:52:41.060 Justin wants to send on over to Cheese, but he has to respect Atomic being there. 03:52:42.700 --> 03:52:44.100 Atomic trying to play it close. 03:52:44.100 --> 03:52:49.540 Daniel to getting a nice good touch this place into the corner to cheese. 03:52:49.540 --> 03:52:53.220 Here comes cheese now taking his time goes back onto the ground. 03:52:53.220 --> 03:52:55.180 Beast mode, great pre-jump there for the comfort. 03:52:55.180 --> 03:52:57.020 He's still staying on top of the ball. 03:52:57.020 --> 03:53:00.540 Wants to get a pass out to Justin, but Daniel able to knock it away. 03:53:00.540 --> 03:53:02.060 Now Foot still try. 03:53:02.060 --> 03:53:03.500 Cheese, no chronic. 03:53:03.500 --> 03:53:05.740 He doesn't all himself. 03:53:05.740 --> 03:53:09.980 This is the chronic that carried his team yesterday. 03:53:09.980 --> 03:53:11.140 And he's doing it again here. 03:53:11.140 --> 03:53:15.140 solo play in the corner just over the nose of beast mode like you said you 03:53:15.140 --> 03:53:19.140 saw she's there on the side just in the out chance this ball was fighting its way 03:53:19.140 --> 03:53:25.980 out he was there ready to go on the commit so we see it but strike first 03:53:25.980 --> 03:53:33.460 blood can they continue to keep consistent so far in our g only two 03:53:33.460 --> 03:53:36.460 shots his game, none too rememberable. 03:53:38.460 --> 03:53:39.460 Here's Chronic. 03:53:39.460 --> 03:53:41.460 Oh, just gets completely beat by Beast Mode. 03:53:41.460 --> 03:53:43.460 Beast Mode now, playing it fast. 03:53:43.460 --> 03:53:44.460 Tommy looking for some bumps. 03:53:44.460 --> 03:53:46.460 He's actually gonna steal that top right boost, 03:53:46.460 --> 03:53:47.460 as Daniel wants to keep this a play. 03:53:47.460 --> 03:53:49.460 Both Tommy and Beast Mode would boost now, 03:53:49.460 --> 03:53:50.460 and now Tommy, great cut. 03:53:50.460 --> 03:53:52.460 Don't follow all the time to put the shot on, 03:53:52.460 --> 03:53:54.460 and just not on target. 03:53:54.460 --> 03:53:56.460 Chronic puts it over to the side. 03:53:56.460 --> 03:53:57.460 Yeah, just a little bit of a floater there, 03:53:57.460 --> 03:54:00.460 and a fairly weak shot, I would say, 03:54:00.460 --> 03:54:02.460 from NRG, like you said, so far. 03:54:02.460 --> 03:54:05.220 So far, a lot of these shots from NRG 03:54:05.220 --> 03:54:06.980 haven't been that memorable. 03:54:06.980 --> 03:54:09.820 So we're waiting to see that pop-off moment from them. 03:54:09.820 --> 03:54:12.940 They haven't quite decided to bring them out of themselves 03:54:12.940 --> 03:54:13.820 yet. 03:54:13.820 --> 03:54:17.940 Final two minutes to go, NRG's still trailing. 03:54:17.940 --> 03:54:21.420 So we're kind of keeping this ball close here, chronic. 03:54:21.420 --> 03:54:24.260 Trying to get the flip forced out of Atomic. 03:54:24.260 --> 03:54:26.780 NRG will look to move a field with Daniel. 03:54:26.780 --> 03:54:28.900 Daniel leads the charge into the blue corner of Atomic, 03:54:28.900 --> 03:54:30.900 trying to run interferes off wall. 03:54:30.900 --> 03:54:34.200 B-smoke will have full boost, and NRG primarily boosted up, 03:54:34.200 --> 03:54:35.960 but they cannot get this thing. 03:54:35.960 --> 03:54:37.040 He just had such a hard time, 03:54:37.040 --> 03:54:41.280 hurt getting this ball to really a good goalscoring opportunity, 03:54:41.280 --> 03:54:42.440 trying to build one there, 03:54:42.440 --> 03:54:43.800 but again, looks defense. 03:54:43.800 --> 03:54:45.200 Another stop. 03:54:45.200 --> 03:54:47.640 I think there's also a level of respect to be had 03:54:47.640 --> 03:54:49.800 after the performance that Flick had yesterday, 03:54:49.800 --> 03:54:51.680 in particular, Chronic. 03:54:51.680 --> 03:54:53.520 That NRG gotta be like, all right, 03:54:53.520 --> 03:54:56.200 he's foot-rating that same level of energy 03:54:56.200 --> 03:54:57.320 to our series today. 03:54:57.320 --> 03:54:58.520 Atomic on the chin up, 03:54:58.520 --> 03:55:00.200 trying to give some space over to Daniel, 03:55:00.200 --> 03:55:02.840 That backboard was read by Chronic. 03:55:02.840 --> 03:55:05.440 And all of NRG kind of swarming around each other, 03:55:05.440 --> 03:55:07.880 trying, like you said, to find some space. 03:55:07.880 --> 03:55:12.200 But that foot defense has been a very solid line. 03:55:12.200 --> 03:55:14.400 Another save out there from Foot. 03:55:14.400 --> 03:55:19.800 So far, every shot NRG put towards net has been saved. 03:55:19.800 --> 03:55:20.920 Chronic though, low blues. 03:55:20.920 --> 03:55:23.000 Beast mode has a free double. 03:55:23.000 --> 03:55:25.040 Ain't no good stuff from Chronic. 03:55:25.040 --> 03:55:26.800 She's able to get follow up. 03:55:26.800 --> 03:55:30.160 NRG trying to turn it on here in the final seconds. 03:55:30.160 --> 03:55:32.260 As a topic, another bang up field, 03:55:32.260 --> 03:55:35.240 cheese, such a big early cut. 03:55:35.240 --> 03:55:37.360 Chronic late to the follow will have to try 03:55:37.360 --> 03:55:38.320 to play this off the wall, 03:55:38.320 --> 03:55:41.000 but just don't have the booster really to make a play here. 03:55:41.000 --> 03:55:42.480 No, they've done, but honestly, 03:55:42.480 --> 03:55:44.480 the interceptions are doing more than enough 03:55:44.480 --> 03:55:45.960 to keep NRG at bay. 03:55:45.960 --> 03:55:49.320 They're just playing for this one goal game right now. 03:55:49.320 --> 03:55:51.960 Cheese has the opportunity, has to leave it, 03:55:51.960 --> 03:55:53.080 respect that B-Smo's there, 03:55:53.080 --> 03:55:54.760 not gonna do more than what he's given. 03:55:54.760 --> 03:55:56.520 Justin plays this out to the side. 03:55:56.520 --> 03:55:58.400 That final 20 seconds is where this pressure 03:55:58.400 --> 03:55:59.800 is gonna come up from foot. 03:55:59.800 --> 03:56:01.640 She's 20 down, over to Justin, 03:56:01.640 --> 03:56:03.400 plays it over to the left, no dunk. 03:56:04.440 --> 03:56:06.920 Now Atomic picks things up, final 10. 03:56:06.920 --> 03:56:09.320 NRG can make a last second play here, 03:56:09.320 --> 03:56:11.920 but it needs everybody involved, Daniel. 03:56:11.920 --> 03:56:13.120 Trying to get Atomic made Atomic, 03:56:13.120 --> 03:56:14.960 trying to get past, doesn't have to boost. 03:56:14.960 --> 03:56:17.720 This one gets lost here, Atomic will pop it up, 03:56:17.720 --> 03:56:19.720 beast moans up, can't get the win, 03:56:19.720 --> 03:56:21.920 it goes straight down and it can't catch it. 03:56:21.920 --> 03:56:24.200 But, take game one. 03:56:24.200 --> 03:56:27.800 This was honestly a really good opener for Foot, 03:56:27.800 --> 03:56:38.600 I would say I don't think it's their absolute best performance in comparison to yesterday, but they did like I said, do enough to make NRG play a very respective game one. 03:56:38.600 --> 03:56:45.440 I do anticipate NRG is going to adapt fairly well, like you said, to that very strong line of defense headed into game two. 03:56:45.440 --> 03:56:54.240 I'm expecting a lot more demos, a lot more aggression, especially out of Atomic and Daniel just really trying to clear the way for beast mode a little bit more. 03:56:54.240 --> 03:56:58.240 But for now, I think the confidence is really high for play. 03:57:00.240 --> 03:57:03.240 Yeah, definitely some early confidence coming out from foot. 03:57:03.240 --> 03:57:07.240 The way they were just able to move the ball and challenge the midfield was really solid. 03:57:07.240 --> 03:57:12.240 And also they did over commit a little bit, but their defense was very good. 03:57:12.240 --> 03:57:15.240 The communication was wrong here in the opener. 03:57:15.240 --> 03:57:19.240 So it feels like now for the rest of the series, it's just about keeping that consistency. 03:57:19.240 --> 03:57:23.240 You're expecting NRG to make some adjustments, maybe try and get a little bit more physical 03:57:23.240 --> 03:57:28.040 more physical to throw foot off but right now it's just been uh i mean foot kind of set the tone 03:57:28.040 --> 03:57:32.600 here for the start still it's a close close series and that was a close game only one little scored 03:57:32.600 --> 03:57:37.480 oh for sure close all the way around there were a couple of moments like you said energy had some 03:57:37.480 --> 03:57:43.720 shot opportunity but nothing memorable that's that's like the best way to put it in honestly 03:57:43.720 --> 03:57:49.560 nrg are known for those flashy solo plays having those beast mode top five moments right 03:57:49.560 --> 03:57:51.400 And we haven't quite gotten that yet. 03:57:51.400 --> 03:57:55.000 So the key to this series is for energy to step up 03:57:55.000 --> 03:57:56.840 in the way that we know that they can. 03:57:56.840 --> 03:57:58.840 But for Foot, a lot of this pressure 03:57:58.840 --> 03:58:02.440 is falling on Cheese to keep up with Justin and Cronick 03:58:02.440 --> 03:58:04.680 because Justin did his part in that game one. 03:58:04.680 --> 03:58:08.000 And now it's on the rest of them to follow suit. 03:58:08.000 --> 03:58:10.240 Foot, take the first step. 03:58:10.240 --> 03:58:12.160 Be careful not to poke the beast. 03:58:12.160 --> 03:58:14.440 Game two, well, for Benetton, is live. 03:58:14.440 --> 03:58:17.040 Foot up one-oh in the series. 03:58:17.040 --> 03:58:20.800 We'll see if they can continue to play at that same level. 03:58:20.800 --> 03:58:22.840 You're expecting an adjustment here from NRG, 03:58:22.840 --> 03:58:25.000 and we're seeing a little bit of it. 03:58:25.000 --> 03:58:28.080 Kickoff goes pretty well for them. 03:58:28.080 --> 03:58:31.960 Now, G's playing fully here versus Atomic, plays it around them, 03:58:31.960 --> 03:58:34.520 but it's a great challenge coming out of jail 03:58:34.520 --> 03:58:36.280 as he stays on top of this ball. 03:58:36.280 --> 03:58:38.040 Oh, I like this clear too from Kronek. 03:58:38.040 --> 03:58:39.600 Playing these big clears is also 03:58:39.600 --> 03:58:41.600 going to keep them from getting boxed in that half. 03:58:41.600 --> 03:58:45.120 You don't want to stay there for too long. 03:58:45.120 --> 03:58:51.200 Atomic already on its first challenge. There's those quick follow-ups. I was talking about that energy. We're making the adjustment from game one 03:58:52.040 --> 03:58:56.160 Daniel the center shot from atomic this one off the bar 03:58:56.520 --> 03:59:01.780 I get slow slow follow-ups from energy. However, this was much better than what we were getting in that game one 03:59:03.400 --> 03:59:06.940 Look the red passes in between each other communication seems good 03:59:07.400 --> 03:59:13.960 We've seen in a vertus pro series in our G lots of pressure, but didn't necessarily amount to it many goals 03:59:13.960 --> 03:59:19.900 Let me the case now, B-Smo dropped to Atonix, cut out by Justin. 03:59:19.900 --> 03:59:22.580 Daniel, aggressive third man challenge, but keeps it in play. 03:59:22.580 --> 03:59:25.340 Atonix with full boost here, can he get a pass? 03:59:25.340 --> 03:59:26.340 Chronic? 03:59:26.340 --> 03:59:29.140 No, it's a great block as it goes towards the side wall. 03:59:29.140 --> 03:59:32.700 Daniel off the ceiling will try to drive it through to disrupt the defense. 03:59:32.700 --> 03:59:36.940 NRG still in control, but a couple of little team foams here and now the ball might 03:59:36.940 --> 03:59:37.940 go the other way. 03:59:37.940 --> 03:59:40.140 Don't B-Smo unable to still keep this in. 03:59:40.140 --> 03:59:42.100 And Chronic in a tough spot. 03:59:42.100 --> 03:59:47.100 the high blow though from Atomic and Chronic will just play the 50 till he's demoed in. 03:59:47.100 --> 03:59:52.100 NRG just smelled blood in the water. They keep trying to strike, foot just hold on. 03:59:52.100 --> 03:59:56.100 The crazy thing is is that foot was able to hold on on such low boost. 03:59:56.100 --> 04:00:00.100 Chronic did two of those saves on nothing and they still manage to get this clear out. 04:00:00.100 --> 04:00:03.100 It's up to Cheese to take them out of their side and he does. 04:00:03.100 --> 04:00:06.100 Demo almost sends them back. Here comes Beast Mode. 04:00:06.100 --> 04:00:11.100 Him on to Chronic again but Cheese, these quick cuts have been such a big difference 04:00:11.100 --> 04:00:14.940 a big difference maker in keeping foot really head to head with NRG. 04:00:16.500 --> 04:00:18.540 Oh, that drop down a little awkward. 04:00:19.900 --> 04:00:21.540 Daniel tries to keep it in. 04:00:22.040 --> 04:00:26.940 Justin will try to play towards the side as atomic waiting on this one. 04:00:26.940 --> 04:00:32.040 Looks for the pinch and it'll get sent to Justin, who will take his time 04:00:32.040 --> 04:00:33.120 and just clear it away. 04:00:33.580 --> 04:00:37.680 So far foot though, no shots left to no shots on there at all. 04:00:37.820 --> 04:00:39.180 We're halfway through this game. 04:00:39.280 --> 04:00:40.960 They spend most of the play defense. 04:00:41.100 --> 04:00:46.820 Yeah, and I mean it rightfully so there's I believe six shots coming out of energy at this point already 04:00:46.820 --> 04:00:50.700 Although nothing to their name to show for it. Halfway point already down 04:00:51.380 --> 04:00:55.940 Granted foot does play a low scoring game. They're not going to try and force anything. That was an opportunity 04:00:55.940 --> 04:01:00.660 She's slow to the commit on this one almost centers up in the corner, but atomics there to save 04:01:02.620 --> 04:01:05.300 Now Thomas in it across cheese picks it up 04:01:05.300 --> 04:01:10.300 Cheese looking for the follow-up, but Beast Mode will take it. 04:01:10.300 --> 04:01:13.300 Beast Mode, high, force the product to float all the way back. 04:01:13.300 --> 04:01:15.300 It's the light touch, and Daniel looks for a shot. 04:01:15.300 --> 04:01:17.300 Daniel trying to find the double. 04:01:17.300 --> 04:01:19.300 Cheese though, holding on. 04:01:19.300 --> 04:01:21.300 Talk about how strong the will of Cheese is. 04:01:21.300 --> 04:01:24.300 Cheese with great defense there, and a great offense. 04:01:24.300 --> 04:01:25.300 Pinch it to the net. 04:01:25.300 --> 04:01:27.300 Cheese scores! 04:01:27.300 --> 04:01:32.300 Cheese has absolutely been trying to will this series against NRG. 04:01:32.300 --> 04:01:37.260 He goes for the 50 dunk from mid and still manages to keep it on target. 04:01:37.260 --> 04:01:43.020 Could have just been barely off the mark, but no foot e-sport on it and they get their lead. 04:01:46.020 --> 04:01:51.700 Have fun. Once again, setting the tone and NRG empty after all of that offensive pressure. 04:01:52.540 --> 04:01:54.740 This is not the good sign for NRG. 04:01:55.740 --> 04:01:59.460 He's not seeing them on the board and Gail will try to follow it up. 04:01:59.460 --> 04:02:03.060 just just getting there in time. 04:02:03.060 --> 04:02:05.100 They're able to get this through and yep, 04:02:05.100 --> 04:02:07.260 we're starting to see that physicality come out now. 04:02:07.260 --> 04:02:08.900 Bit of a double commit there from Florida, 04:02:08.900 --> 04:02:11.260 but are you not in a position to capitalize? 04:02:11.260 --> 04:02:12.700 No, definitely not. 04:02:12.700 --> 04:02:14.500 It a couple of these attempts to, 04:02:14.500 --> 04:02:17.140 you can almost feel the slight hesitation out of them. 04:02:17.140 --> 04:02:19.420 It's a down pass to Daniel, but it's wide. 04:02:19.420 --> 04:02:21.340 And that's the hesitation I was talking about. 04:02:21.340 --> 04:02:23.540 They're anticipating foot to come back 04:02:23.540 --> 04:02:27.060 and demo them in the return on a lot of these challenges. 04:02:27.060 --> 04:02:31.020 and it's forcing energy to play a little bit awkward 04:02:31.020 --> 04:02:31.860 at the moment. 04:02:31.860 --> 04:02:34.220 Daniel keeps trying to play this committed game 04:02:34.220 --> 04:02:36.500 of running up field, but all that's happening 04:02:36.500 --> 04:02:39.500 is he's leaving the last two a little awkward. 04:02:39.500 --> 04:02:42.580 So that lead still continues to remain with foot 04:02:42.580 --> 04:02:44.780 despite this being their best chance. 04:02:46.340 --> 04:02:48.620 Testing ball from Dan and B-smoke 04:02:48.620 --> 04:02:49.700 got a demo on Justin. 04:02:49.700 --> 04:02:51.660 Here's Mo, shot on. 04:02:51.660 --> 04:02:53.220 Geez, easy save there. 04:02:53.220 --> 04:02:54.980 He seems ready on the back wall. 04:02:54.980 --> 04:02:57.460 Now turn from Daniel as he takes it from a corner. 04:02:57.460 --> 04:02:58.780 He's going up really early. 04:02:58.780 --> 04:03:00.740 Trying to get a drop down straight to Daniel, 04:03:00.740 --> 04:03:03.860 but couldn't get the first touch that he wanted. 04:03:03.860 --> 04:03:06.300 Very ambitious play from NRG. 04:03:06.300 --> 04:03:08.460 Final 30 seconds, and they definitely 04:03:08.460 --> 04:03:10.020 will start to ramp things up here. 04:03:10.020 --> 04:03:12.220 Foot has to hold on. 04:03:12.220 --> 04:03:14.300 It's a big flick to the backboard. 04:03:14.300 --> 04:03:16.380 Chronic used everything he had left in the tank 04:03:16.380 --> 04:03:18.060 to just keep it with them. 04:03:18.060 --> 04:03:19.980 You've got to play possession if you are a foot, 04:03:19.980 --> 04:03:24.260 but right now NRG do have one last almost hail Mary. 04:03:24.260 --> 04:03:26.140 Daniel is going to come up here from the side. 04:03:26.140 --> 04:03:27.580 There's cheese with another intercept. 04:03:27.580 --> 04:03:29.460 This could do them in. 04:03:29.460 --> 04:03:30.500 Six seconds on the clock. 04:03:30.500 --> 04:03:31.260 Beast mode. 04:03:31.260 --> 04:03:32.980 Double off the side to center to atomic. 04:03:32.980 --> 04:03:34.380 Two left on the back line. 04:03:34.380 --> 04:03:35.860 This clear could do them in. 04:03:35.860 --> 04:03:39.900 The demo on the ground and foot to two. 04:03:39.900 --> 04:03:44.380 A shutout in game two by Flint. 04:03:44.380 --> 04:03:50.420 And they are in control of the series right now. 04:03:50.420 --> 04:03:54.140 NRG, again, after so much offensive pressure, 04:03:54.140 --> 04:03:55.740 They cannot come away with anything. 04:03:55.740 --> 04:03:58.700 Only two shots on the side of the foot. 04:03:58.700 --> 04:04:00.500 One of them went into the back of the net. 04:04:00.500 --> 04:04:03.900 NRG, I think they come on, take that game. 04:04:03.900 --> 04:04:06.980 And as the pressure's been, it doesn't matter 04:04:06.980 --> 04:04:09.220 if you can't put in those final goals or. 04:04:09.220 --> 04:04:10.660 No, it doesn't matter at all. 04:04:10.660 --> 04:04:13.460 And the one that is really interesting actually 04:04:13.460 --> 04:04:17.660 is Daniel having six of those 10 shots to his name, right? 04:04:17.660 --> 04:04:19.940 You would think something would have came of that, 04:04:19.940 --> 04:04:23.580 but no, a lot of those shots were just opportunities 04:04:23.580 --> 04:04:25.900 after he was cheating up in their side, 04:04:25.900 --> 04:04:28.100 hoping for some sort of an opportunity. 04:04:28.100 --> 04:04:30.900 Unfortunately for them, it fell to the hands of foot. 04:04:30.900 --> 04:04:32.300 You saw it in the replay there. 04:04:32.300 --> 04:04:34.220 It was the one opportunity handed to them. 04:04:34.220 --> 04:04:37.340 It was the 50 that she's had gotten that went on in. 04:04:37.340 --> 04:04:40.900 And all this is done is forced NRG 04:04:40.900 --> 04:04:42.580 into a stressful play style. 04:04:42.580 --> 04:04:44.540 You saw them start to demo chasing, 04:04:44.540 --> 04:04:45.660 breakout a rotation. 04:04:45.660 --> 04:04:48.700 Seth, you called the time out to really try 04:04:48.700 --> 04:04:51.740 and reconvene on what's going on. 04:04:51.740 --> 04:04:56.380 If you're a Shogun fan, this is a great start to a series, 04:04:56.380 --> 04:05:00.380 a two 1-0s and one team on the verge of getting perfect swept. 04:05:00.380 --> 04:05:03.100 That team has been in RG, despite all their pressure, 04:05:03.100 --> 04:05:05.660 they have not been able to score at all this series. 04:05:05.660 --> 04:05:09.180 And again, you talk about them wanting to qualify 04:05:09.180 --> 04:05:11.980 for the World Championship and then qualifications for Paris 04:05:11.980 --> 04:05:13.740 and nature, things like that. 04:05:13.740 --> 04:05:16.380 It's not a bust one situation, but a win and putting them 04:05:16.380 --> 04:05:19.260 into the finals winning this event would help so, so much. 04:05:19.260 --> 04:05:20.700 They got to turn things around here. 04:05:20.700 --> 04:05:23.100 and we gotta see what Sathu has cooked up for the time out. 04:05:24.540 --> 04:05:31.380 I mean, if I'm Sathu, I think the first thing to sit there and say is you guys gotta relax a little bit. 04:05:31.380 --> 04:05:38.220 I think they're almost kind of forcing something that isn't quite there yet against foot. 04:05:38.220 --> 04:05:44.380 Foot aren't necessarily playing this super attack-heavy game and forcing NRG back there. 04:05:44.380 --> 04:05:52.140 actually allowing NRG to play their game. NRG love to take those five, ten shots at the net. 04:05:52.140 --> 04:05:57.660 The priority for FUT is defense. You called it out earlier, right? They've got this crazy good line 04:05:57.660 --> 04:06:04.060 going on. For NRG, the plan is one, how do you take out the last line, and two, how do you follow 04:06:04.060 --> 04:06:09.260 it up? So we'll see if in this next game that that's something that they can correct. Otherwise, 04:06:09.260 --> 04:06:12.900 Foot Esports could start running away with this. 04:06:12.900 --> 04:06:16.940 Foot have been consistent, but the games have been close. 04:06:16.940 --> 04:06:21.340 NRG though, not able to find the back of the net just yet. 04:06:21.340 --> 04:06:25.220 Post timeout, game three is live. 04:06:25.220 --> 04:06:28.460 This foot, start things off with a little bit of ball control. 04:06:28.460 --> 04:06:30.620 Big clear from Justin. 04:06:30.620 --> 04:06:32.500 Forced timing to the back wall. 04:06:32.500 --> 04:06:33.820 They don't want to keep the ball. 04:06:33.820 --> 04:06:35.820 It seems like they don't want to keep the ball close. 04:06:35.820 --> 04:06:37.820 They much rather just play these beats on NRG, 04:06:37.820 --> 04:06:39.100 You almost thought of the lane. 04:06:39.100 --> 04:06:43.220 Good touch there from Cheese to eliminate the danger. 04:06:43.220 --> 04:06:44.180 Here comes another clear. 04:06:44.180 --> 04:06:46.220 Tomik's just going to try and slow down 04:06:46.220 --> 04:06:48.900 Flick as they enter into their half here. 04:06:48.900 --> 04:06:51.740 That first 30 seconds just absolutely flies 04:06:51.740 --> 04:06:53.940 by two opportunities to both teams. 04:06:53.940 --> 04:06:56.500 But now back in the hands of Flick, Justin has to get 04:06:56.500 --> 04:06:57.140 past Tomik. 04:06:57.140 --> 04:06:57.620 He does. 04:06:57.620 --> 04:06:59.580 Chronic set up for a shot here. 04:06:59.580 --> 04:07:04.340 And Tomik knows diving down to keep energy in this. 04:07:04.340 --> 04:07:07.420 So we're a little bit more pressure here from the start. 04:07:07.420 --> 04:07:10.220 They've already hit their average shots in game at two. 04:07:10.220 --> 04:07:15.140 We'll see that in the tank right now. 04:07:15.140 --> 04:07:17.740 But this is a much better look for them. 04:07:17.740 --> 04:07:19.660 Seeing the ball on the offensive front, 04:07:19.660 --> 04:07:22.860 there's Justin with a tough shot and Gail. 04:07:22.860 --> 04:07:25.420 We're used to perfectly as it was headed for the top left 04:07:25.420 --> 04:07:26.580 in our G now. 04:07:26.580 --> 04:07:27.980 The team under pressure is B-Smole. 04:07:27.980 --> 04:07:29.340 Finally clears it away and gives them 04:07:29.340 --> 04:07:31.140 a little bit of breathing room here. 04:07:31.140 --> 04:07:33.660 It's scary because as much as I like this aggression 04:07:33.660 --> 04:07:36.620 from foot, they are getting dangerously close 04:07:36.620 --> 04:07:39.500 committing too far they almost did Daniel thankfully it stayed a little bit 04:07:39.500 --> 04:07:44.420 further back on this one but here comes that NRG attack. Beast mode had no boost 04:07:44.420 --> 04:07:49.660 on it so they called themselves off the play. Possession almost was lost but 04:07:49.660 --> 04:07:56.500 she's full sending towards NRG. Beast mode staying on top of this still under a 04:07:56.500 --> 04:08:02.140 little bit of pressure doesn't get a bump though. And Daniel will pop in midfield 04:08:02.140 --> 04:08:08.300 Atomic speed has passes it as it passes cheese, but she's now a field could interrupt this play 04:08:08.500 --> 04:08:15.120 Look to but be smaller was fine Daniel able to cover up chronic don't chance here with the double cheese is waiting 04:08:15.120 --> 04:08:17.120 Close she has a look at the net 04:08:19.120 --> 04:08:23.180 Call the kid go cheese at this point the amount of times 04:08:23.180 --> 04:08:27.900 I have seen him taking the biggest risks to stay up field 04:08:27.900 --> 04:08:34.580 He is really trying to prove to NRG that he is the one to mess with in this series 04:08:35.940 --> 04:08:43.220 Go cheese is considered a healthy dairy option often being more nutritious and easier to digest the cow. No cheese. Sorry 04:08:44.780 --> 04:08:50.700 That's a fun fact of the day chat. Well, you know what at this point they're making energy look lactose intolerant 04:08:51.540 --> 04:08:55.580 See I was gonna say Jesus shred through this is what this time though is Justin 04:08:55.580 --> 04:09:00.220 Look at that plan and low right under the defense into the lower right corner. 04:09:00.220 --> 04:09:07.060 Two all-foot. NRG still not able to get anything on offense. 04:09:07.060 --> 04:09:10.300 They have no shots on the board this game. 04:09:11.580 --> 04:09:16.860 Two and no up. Approaching that halfway mark and here comes with... 04:09:16.860 --> 04:09:19.500 Could potentially be a desperate NRG. 04:09:19.500 --> 04:09:21.980 Atomic's just gonna full send this one over to B-Smo. 04:09:21.980 --> 04:09:26.660 try to pinball it back, but at the time it had no boost up in the tank and the spawn doesn't play in its favor. 04:09:26.660 --> 04:09:32.540 B-Smoot has the chance, no touch, it's just a shot pinned up high back in the hands of F. 04:09:32.540 --> 04:09:38.700 If you're B-Smoot, you definitely want to put that on just something here to throw off the defense. 04:09:38.700 --> 04:09:44.780 Now NRG not connecting here, they also have no boost and now they got a flit back. 04:09:44.780 --> 04:09:48.820 There's one demo on the play chronic, also stole the corner boost. 04:09:48.820 --> 04:09:52.820 Navas could be extended pressure here for Fudd, Justin. 04:09:52.820 --> 04:09:55.660 Get the flip, get the 50, Chronic, can he score? 04:09:55.660 --> 04:09:58.580 Chronic, the bounce is good! 04:09:58.580 --> 04:10:01.460 Chronic absolutely on one here. 04:10:01.460 --> 04:10:04.900 It starts with Justin having to keep this one just 04:10:04.900 --> 04:10:06.700 in the vicinity of the net. 04:10:06.700 --> 04:10:09.060 And it's that full third man commit 04:10:09.060 --> 04:10:12.340 that puts them up 3-0. 04:10:12.340 --> 04:10:17.580 Fudd, the dominating NRG. 04:10:17.580 --> 04:10:22.220 Offensively and defensively, wow! 04:10:22.220 --> 04:10:24.540 Atomic quick shot blocked out by Cheese. 04:10:24.540 --> 04:10:28.420 Chronic up quickly used the left of his boost to stop the follow-up. 04:10:28.420 --> 04:10:32.460 Justin testing beast mode and beast mode is there. 04:10:32.460 --> 04:10:35.380 NRG wanna try to ramp up, but the foot's been ready to watch him. 04:10:35.380 --> 04:10:37.380 Looking Cheese again, another cut out there. 04:10:37.380 --> 04:10:39.420 NRG trying to pass, that's a good beat. 04:10:39.420 --> 04:10:41.820 Beast mode, low up boost, half to play ball. 04:10:41.820 --> 04:10:43.420 Sends it over to the side. 04:10:43.420 --> 04:10:46.980 This is desperation look here from NRG. 04:10:46.980 --> 04:10:48.940 A foot has met them every step of the way. 04:10:48.940 --> 04:10:50.700 Hit a call and get this one through off the ball. 04:10:50.700 --> 04:10:51.700 Right in front of the goal. 04:10:51.700 --> 04:10:52.700 Lock and cheese. 04:10:52.700 --> 04:10:53.700 Another stop. 04:10:53.700 --> 04:10:57.300 Right now, foot e-sports are absolutely prepared for NRG 04:10:57.300 --> 04:10:59.020 to throw those demos their way. 04:10:59.020 --> 04:11:02.140 It's a musty forward off the post and stays out, 04:11:02.140 --> 04:11:03.860 but you still are up by three. 04:11:03.860 --> 04:11:07.620 Like you said, you can almost feel the desperation from NRG 04:11:07.620 --> 04:11:08.860 to find anything. 04:11:08.860 --> 04:11:11.060 She's facing down over to Justin, 04:11:11.060 --> 04:11:13.340 and NRG just have to keep fighting 04:11:13.340 --> 04:11:15.500 for possession of this ball. 04:11:15.500 --> 04:11:18.860 You can see what's so comfortable to give a creative here with the offense. 04:11:19.260 --> 04:11:24.800 Final minute of regulation still at RG only a single shot to their name. 04:11:24.800 --> 04:11:28.340 Daniel picks this one up, looks for a follow up touch. 04:11:28.340 --> 04:11:30.380 Atomic and Beast Mode won't play in this left wing. 04:11:30.620 --> 04:11:33.740 Beast Mode able to help out, just try to keep this in. 04:11:33.740 --> 04:11:34.740 They need something there. 04:11:34.980 --> 04:11:36.980 Daniel puts it towards Justin. 04:11:36.980 --> 04:11:38.620 Justin cleans it back up to the midfield. 04:11:38.740 --> 04:11:39.780 Now it's a topics turn. 04:11:39.980 --> 04:11:41.460 He puts it towards Justin. 04:11:41.620 --> 04:11:42.580 Justin picks it up. 04:11:42.580 --> 04:11:56.580 Beesbow tries to enter something and it falls towards net but it won't go in and now Flick just kind of trying to count down the time he has 30 seconds to go there up by 3 and NRG still do not have a goal this year. 04:11:56.580 --> 04:12:03.020 I know at this point energy are finding something just for the sake of having some hope alive headed into the next but 04:12:03.020 --> 04:12:08.620 At this point foot are even counteracting the counter from energy Justin 04:12:09.060 --> 04:12:12.940 Creatively demoing energy as they start to enter into their side 04:12:12.940 --> 04:12:15.780 So there's not even a setup to be had anymore 04:12:16.020 --> 04:12:23.140 Five seconds left on the clock and a three goal lead foot e-sports are officially on match point 04:12:23.140 --> 04:12:31.140 And NRG are a danger of being perfect sweats here in NA Open 5 city finals. 04:12:31.140 --> 04:12:36.140 They have not gotten a single goal over the entirety of this series. 04:12:36.140 --> 04:12:42.140 And this is where things get really scary if you're an NRG fan. 04:12:45.140 --> 04:12:52.140 If you look at this series and you wonder like how on earth does a team like NRG look this absent on off? 04:12:53.140 --> 04:13:03.140 I'm going to tell you right now, this is one of those rare times a team has allowed NRG to truly just play their game. 04:13:03.140 --> 04:13:14.140 And what is in turn happening is they prioritize defense so heavily with the trust that if they were to find their one or two golden opportunities into that NRG net that they will be solid. 04:13:14.140 --> 04:13:21.880 And for NRG, nothing's working, offenses look predictable. 04:13:21.880 --> 04:13:25.680 I mean, Fuss just got to do such a great job of reading the play. 04:13:25.680 --> 04:13:31.440 You can see it, the experience there, I mean, you see the looks on NRG, on these most 04:13:31.440 --> 04:13:34.840 camps, they're just trying to figure out something here. 04:13:34.840 --> 04:13:38.480 They need to get something going, anything. 04:13:38.480 --> 04:13:47.480 Oh, there's only one more opportunity to do that and it's right here foot esports one 04:13:47.480 --> 04:13:56.520 away from a final against Shopify rebellion two teams that are on absolute rampages here 04:13:56.520 --> 04:14:02.920 in North America and RG backs against the wall. 04:14:02.920 --> 04:14:07.600 So far squirrel is it now they would have to reverse sweet this foot esports team 04:14:07.600 --> 04:14:10.480 if they want to make the grand finals. 04:14:10.480 --> 04:14:13.720 Cheese has other plans. 04:14:13.720 --> 04:14:17.720 I ball from cheese, then no dail will come to collect. 04:14:17.720 --> 04:14:19.080 Nice to the sidewall. 04:14:19.080 --> 04:14:21.200 Great first touch from Justin. 04:14:21.200 --> 04:14:23.480 She chronic, good beat, beast mode now. 04:14:23.480 --> 04:14:25.080 The chance for a solo. 04:14:25.080 --> 04:14:27.920 Not much going to happen here off the solo though. 04:14:27.920 --> 04:14:29.960 Easy clear, not threatening towards goal. 04:14:29.960 --> 04:14:32.280 NRG want to try to keep possession. 04:14:32.280 --> 04:14:35.040 Atomic in looking for that testing ball. 04:14:35.040 --> 04:14:36.760 Still though, nothing there from NRG. 04:14:36.760 --> 04:14:41.760 We're trying to bring it the other way, Justin with a chance here, Justin with the shot, just hit the crossbar! 04:14:41.760 --> 04:14:48.760 Just off the mark, but still it was a good play all the way around. It starts with the fake, it starts with communication 04:14:48.760 --> 04:14:53.760 and that's what's kind of missing from NRG right now. They have opportunity here, that ball went into the other side 04:14:53.760 --> 04:14:55.760 but B-Sport loses possession. 04:14:57.760 --> 04:15:04.760 Look at Dale create here. Oh, Dale can do it all! Dale with the dunk in NRG on the board! 04:15:04.760 --> 04:15:07.520 And it's bull lock in from him too on this right. 04:15:07.520 --> 04:15:09.600 He knows he has the chance and the momentum 04:15:09.600 --> 04:15:12.840 diving down into that ball like that. 04:15:12.840 --> 04:15:14.920 And just over their noses energy 04:15:14.920 --> 04:15:18.200 finally find something here in the series. 04:15:21.960 --> 04:15:25.680 There's only been six perfect sweeps in RLCS 04:15:25.680 --> 04:15:27.720 and yeah, we're not getting one in it. 04:15:29.160 --> 04:15:30.520 You're so host. 04:15:30.520 --> 04:15:31.680 Yeah. 04:15:31.680 --> 04:15:33.600 I feel like D-Wrek just gave us the stat 04:15:33.600 --> 04:15:34.560 right at the goal went in. 04:15:34.560 --> 04:15:36.560 I have to be manifested that one down there. 04:15:36.560 --> 04:15:38.560 I think it definitely hits you direct on that. 04:15:38.560 --> 04:15:42.560 NRG finally getting their first score here in the series, 04:15:42.560 --> 04:15:44.560 but they have to hold on to it. 04:15:44.560 --> 04:15:48.560 It was also their first lead in a game here in the series. 04:15:48.560 --> 04:15:50.560 No figure. 04:15:50.560 --> 04:15:52.560 It's definitely a big deal for NRG, 04:15:52.560 --> 04:15:54.560 which is a rare sentence you've got to say for them 04:15:54.560 --> 04:15:56.560 in terms of just having a one goal lead. 04:15:56.560 --> 04:15:59.560 But the way that foot has been able to hold them back 04:15:59.560 --> 04:16:01.560 and have their way with them, 04:16:01.560 --> 04:16:05.240 I mean, you just got to be grateful for anything at this point. 04:16:05.240 --> 04:16:10.240 That one goal lead has taken down many, many teams 04:16:10.240 --> 04:16:11.280 across the world. 04:16:11.280 --> 04:16:13.280 So we'll see if NRG is able to hold on to it. 04:16:17.280 --> 04:16:21.760 We got Gale on the ball now. 04:16:21.760 --> 04:16:22.260 Justin. 04:16:26.240 --> 04:16:28.240 Let's pick this one up. 04:16:28.240 --> 04:16:35.240 He's just grabbed us at the corner now, Tom as we go. 04:16:35.240 --> 04:16:37.240 He's using a musty to get downfield. 04:16:37.240 --> 04:16:42.240 Cheese wants to get that pass, Daniel and Daniel. 04:16:42.240 --> 04:16:44.240 50 down low. 04:16:44.240 --> 04:16:48.240 Kind of slowing down the pace here a little bit as they try to work upfield. 04:16:48.240 --> 04:16:50.240 I don't want to give up any more opportunities. 04:16:50.240 --> 04:16:53.240 And on the same side, I think he's kind of slowed down for NRG. 04:16:53.240 --> 04:16:57.240 Now they've been able to kind of spread out their chances a little bit more. 04:16:57.240 --> 04:16:59.960 It feels like they can kind of dictate the pace of the game. 04:16:59.960 --> 04:17:00.680 Well, for sure. 04:17:00.680 --> 04:17:03.200 And I think a big part of that, too, 04:17:03.200 --> 04:17:06.600 is what are doing this really fun thing of sending one 04:17:06.600 --> 04:17:10.080 of their players all the way up field, just constantly forcing 04:17:10.080 --> 04:17:13.680 NRG on this low boost game, keeping them a little bit awkward. 04:17:13.680 --> 04:17:16.920 They're prioritizing those big, you know, cheat ups out. 04:17:16.920 --> 04:17:18.720 There's another one here, Chronic, 04:17:18.720 --> 04:17:19.880 going to rotate out their side. 04:17:19.880 --> 04:17:23.360 And just the way they are forcing NRG to be awkward 04:17:23.360 --> 04:17:26.200 with this ball continues to work in their favor. 04:17:26.200 --> 04:17:29.500 The problem is this time they're the ones trailing. 04:17:29.500 --> 04:17:32.060 Only less than two minutes to their name 04:17:32.060 --> 04:17:33.300 to try and tie things up. 04:17:36.500 --> 04:17:39.840 Now so far, Foot Offence has been a little slow here. 04:17:39.840 --> 04:17:41.440 I mean, it's been slow for everyone though, 04:17:41.440 --> 04:17:43.360 as this one's been more battle of the midfield. 04:17:43.360 --> 04:17:47.760 Beast mode shot on and it'll be a good save from Cheese. 04:17:47.760 --> 04:17:49.000 They ain't starting to speed up 04:17:49.000 --> 04:17:51.560 as Foot realizing time not on their side. 04:17:51.560 --> 04:17:54.000 They gotta make things move here to faster pace. 04:17:54.000 --> 04:17:57.260 that a topic almost got it through the entire defense. 04:17:58.320 --> 04:18:00.400 If you're foot, you're saying thank you 04:18:00.400 --> 04:18:01.920 that that hit the crossbar 04:18:01.920 --> 04:18:04.200 because it's giving you at least a minute 04:18:04.200 --> 04:18:07.200 of time to try and find yourselves onto the other end. 04:18:07.200 --> 04:18:08.600 Beast Mode's gonna force his way through. 04:18:08.600 --> 04:18:10.720 Almost got a bump onto Cheese there, 04:18:10.720 --> 04:18:13.200 but Cheese with the boost bar has this ball 04:18:13.200 --> 04:18:14.760 in his favor over to Justin. 04:18:14.760 --> 04:18:16.120 We're gonna gather, trying to find a shot. 04:18:16.120 --> 04:18:18.000 Nobody able to find their way on it. 04:18:19.240 --> 04:18:20.960 Justin, like tires are crawling in. 04:18:20.960 --> 04:18:22.640 Geez, follow up, man. 04:18:24.000 --> 04:18:30.600 They continue to keep up the pressure no matter where they're at in positioning on this. 04:18:30.600 --> 04:18:31.600 Look at this. 04:18:31.600 --> 04:18:37.400 Chronic baits in all three members of NRG and at that moment you see she's barreling 04:18:37.400 --> 04:18:40.400 towards all three of you into your net. 04:18:40.400 --> 04:18:43.760 It's a tight game. 04:18:43.760 --> 04:18:45.600 This is danger now for NRG. 04:18:45.600 --> 04:18:52.400 The sweep here again continues on what a touchdown from Justin to try to play high. 04:18:52.400 --> 04:19:00.400 now moving downfield.

04:21:44.700 --> 04:21:49.700 But just so leveled out almost, right? 04:21:49.980 --> 04:21:52.660 Against a team and foot now still, 04:21:52.660 --> 04:21:55.080 I will say, despite the loss, 04:21:55.080 --> 04:21:59.620 I don't think got necessarily beat down by NRG. 04:21:59.620 --> 04:22:01.620 There were just two moments of NRG 04:22:01.620 --> 04:22:03.780 looking very, very classic around them 04:22:03.780 --> 04:22:04.820 on the offensive front. 04:22:04.820 --> 04:22:07.680 They made their defense waiver a little bit, 04:22:07.680 --> 04:22:11.520 But now one more chance for a foot to end it here. 04:22:11.520 --> 04:22:12.960 Otherwise, we continue on. 04:22:16.520 --> 04:22:21.520 All right, let's start here for a foot. 04:22:24.000 --> 04:22:26.520 Have to be a little careful 04:22:26.520 --> 04:22:28.400 because NRG always lurking. 04:22:30.040 --> 04:22:33.520 You see this atomic starts us off, 04:22:33.520 --> 04:22:35.440 B-smell playing, wing on that right wing, 04:22:35.440 --> 04:22:37.660 Cheese, no moves, too heavy of a touch. 04:22:37.660 --> 04:22:38.720 Now B-smoke can get it. 04:22:38.720 --> 04:22:39.800 That's going straight down. 04:22:39.800 --> 04:22:42.240 Daniels just gets there in time. 04:22:42.240 --> 04:22:43.360 But here's Cheese adjusting. 04:22:43.360 --> 04:22:44.920 Atomic needed to cut there. 04:22:44.920 --> 04:22:46.520 It was a great cut. 04:22:46.520 --> 04:22:49.040 This ball, free ball, a little bit of space here. 04:22:49.040 --> 04:22:51.560 Atomic wanted to get Daniel involved there on the play, 04:22:51.560 --> 04:22:53.520 but the execution was just a little awkward. 04:22:53.520 --> 04:22:55.680 And now Daniel has to float it by time meanwhile 04:22:55.680 --> 04:22:57.600 and just gets pushed right past him. 04:22:57.600 --> 04:22:59.720 But A-front. 04:22:59.720 --> 04:23:01.800 A-bar and G don't even realize, too, 04:23:01.800 --> 04:23:04.800 that the bump onto Chronic actually pushed him back 04:23:04.800 --> 04:23:13.280 to the save and let Justin Full send up to work with cheese on this play. NRG's domino effect 04:23:13.280 --> 04:23:22.640 working in favor of foot opening lead to the boys on blue. Daniel plays it high for the preset. 04:23:24.240 --> 04:23:30.080 Eastmo can't get that pass Justin so far the defense on foot just so strong there's another 04:23:30.080 --> 04:23:37.920 stop comes through. NRG showing aggressiveness hurts, but a little bit more here, but just 04:23:38.560 --> 04:23:42.800 as they set up defensively it just feels so hard to break through that. Give up from Beast Mode 04:23:42.800 --> 04:23:47.840 or something that could help, but not if they can't get it passable like quiet. Put that one 04:23:47.840 --> 04:23:53.280 all the way across the goal. Beast Mode had to really time it on this one and get his team 04:23:53.280 --> 04:23:58.880 out, but like you said NRG are playing a lot more aggressively. It's one way to answer 04:23:58.880 --> 04:24:00.920 Choose such a strong defense. 04:24:00.920 --> 04:24:03.080 Tomington is going to get shot just in pin balls 04:24:03.080 --> 04:24:04.840 and off that post there. 04:24:04.840 --> 04:24:06.920 Taking another one immediately set back. 04:24:06.920 --> 04:24:09.320 All three members waiting their turns in line. 04:24:09.320 --> 04:24:11.960 However, low boost could be the death of Flick. 04:24:14.400 --> 04:24:17.120 The annual shot, blocked out. 04:24:17.120 --> 04:24:20.320 And Flick, I'm building the wall here. 04:24:20.320 --> 04:24:24.440 Four saves already, the two minutes of gameplay. 04:24:24.440 --> 04:24:27.200 Not too much offense is the energy 04:24:27.200 --> 04:24:30.160 here trying to control the possession here. 04:24:30.160 --> 04:24:34.760 We'll see if things start to shift in a different direction. 04:24:34.760 --> 04:24:36.920 Atomic, wow, what a laser there. 04:24:36.920 --> 04:24:38.080 Beast mode can't go in. 04:24:38.080 --> 04:24:39.640 Dimode on the play. 04:24:39.640 --> 04:24:42.440 Now, Chronic should have a free ball to work with here. 04:24:42.440 --> 04:24:44.080 It takes him low instead of going hard. 04:24:44.080 --> 04:24:45.360 What's the play towards Justin? 04:24:45.360 --> 04:24:47.280 Energy, easy cut out. 04:24:47.280 --> 04:24:49.240 That's another pinball around there from Beast mode 04:24:49.240 --> 04:24:51.000 trying to connect there with Atomic. 04:24:51.000 --> 04:24:54.680 However, this ball just falls straight back to foot. 04:24:54.680 --> 04:24:56.360 Chronic almost down to Justin. 04:24:56.360 --> 04:24:59.640 NRG have an intercept and that halfway point 04:24:59.640 --> 04:25:04.160 officially in front of NRG, B-Splode, no pack cleared. 04:25:04.160 --> 04:25:06.560 Instead, it's just a shot sent out to the side, 04:25:06.560 --> 04:25:09.380 sent back again, another clear for foot. 04:25:11.200 --> 04:25:13.720 A big strong dunk, follow up from cheese, 04:25:13.720 --> 04:25:15.880 another goal here for Flint. 04:25:15.880 --> 04:25:18.520 The way this series is going could be 04:25:18.520 --> 04:25:20.400 what gives them the series. 04:25:20.400 --> 04:25:22.640 NRG out of here, coming, what a free look! 04:25:22.640 --> 04:25:24.240 Oh, what a stop! 04:25:24.240 --> 04:25:27.760 Can't follow top left!

Life is meaningless with an application, am I right? 04:29:39.280 --> 04:29:46.280 Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond. 04:29:46.280 --> 04:29:49.280 Michelin, Motion for Life. 04:30:39.280 --> 04:30:41.280 I 04:32:09.280 --> 04:32:16.760 When I started living, I felt you come 04:32:16.760 --> 04:32:24.800 I started trying, and I'm trying to stand 04:32:24.800 --> 04:32:28.800 But I'm not ready to stand 04:32:28.800 --> 04:32:35.800 So I speak up, I spread my fear of the world 04:32:35.800 --> 04:32:39.800 All I wish for was you to come with me 04:32:39.800 --> 04:32:43.800 Shifting around the world 04:32:44.800 --> 04:32:46.800 I love you 04:32:46.800 --> 04:32:50.800 I know it's your call to me 04:32:50.800 --> 04:32:52.800 I'll be here with you 04:32:52.800 --> 04:32:57.800 In ways that just realize what I need for 04:33:35.800 --> 04:33:37.800 I 04:34:05.800 --> 04:34:07.800 I 04:34:35.800 --> 04:34:39.100 to feel it so hard to run. 04:34:39.100 --> 04:34:44.600 It's a something to do, I'm a essential role. 04:34:44.600 --> 04:34:49.400 And I'm a half of a hero. 04:34:49.400 --> 04:35:07.440 The Grand Finals is on its way here as our last semifinals has ended in spectacular fashion 04:35:07.440 --> 04:35:13.800 as NRG predicted winners of this matchup do not make it into the Grand Finals but Esports 04:35:13.800 --> 04:35:15.520 based on Shopify rebellion. 04:35:15.520 --> 04:35:16.600 Welcome back in. 04:35:16.600 --> 04:35:17.600 I'm Lee. 04:35:17.600 --> 04:35:22.700 with me. We've got dad's and her dad's on the lock in. We've got a grandpa. I'm trying 04:35:22.700 --> 04:35:28.620 to lock in man. I'm like, I'm like, I'm hard reading everything from D Rex. 04:35:28.620 --> 04:35:34.980 Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Yeah. No, we've got just like paragraphs right now coming in 04:35:34.980 --> 04:35:38.980 from the wreck for all the things. I mean, because a lot of our expectations have been 04:35:38.980 --> 04:35:41.980 thrown up the window. I've got to reassess what we're talking about in this little 04:35:41.980 --> 04:35:47.980 Let's talk about that match, though, first because NRG just got dunked on. 04:35:47.980 --> 04:35:53.980 Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, obliterated and devastated. 04:35:53.980 --> 04:36:00.980 It just, it's just really unfortunate here from the side of NRG that they just couldn't get anything offensively. 04:36:00.980 --> 04:36:05.980 They just felt like the scoring, they can find the scoring, they can create chances. 04:36:05.980 --> 04:36:09.980 But it's partially on NRG, but you got to give credit to foot. 04:36:09.980 --> 04:36:14.980 the foot. This team is in such an awareness is so great, 04:36:14.980 --> 04:36:16.700 whether they were able to move around the field, 04:36:16.700 --> 04:36:18.860 connect with each other, and then when to press, 04:36:18.860 --> 04:36:23.140 when to pull back, I mean, I was a little hesitant 04:36:23.140 --> 04:36:26.180 at the start to be able to give them the credit, 04:36:26.180 --> 04:36:29.700 but my goodness, have they soared above all expectations 04:36:29.700 --> 04:36:30.980 I could have for this team. 04:36:30.980 --> 04:36:33.620 I think it's valid to say that you were waiting to see 04:36:33.620 --> 04:36:37.020 if it actually was necessarily a true performance, 04:36:37.020 --> 04:36:38.700 or if yesterday might have even been a fluke, 04:36:38.700 --> 04:36:43.580 some luck or whatever. But no, there was high level of preparation that was put in against 04:36:43.580 --> 04:36:49.340 this team and also to go against them if they were to, you know, have a comeback as far as NRG 04:36:49.340 --> 04:36:55.100 was concerned, right? They took that game four and they still doubled down on the play style 04:36:55.100 --> 04:37:01.340 and took the series overall. And then looking at how things are, I wrap it up now. It's a 04:37:01.340 --> 04:37:05.420 tight race here, but no one gets the clinch there. I'm not going to say too much here 04:37:05.420 --> 04:37:09.900 because I don't want to say anything wrong obviously things are still open or up in the air right now 04:37:10.860 --> 04:37:17.500 but at this point no clenching is going to go on we were talking about um an rg potentially coming 04:37:17.500 --> 04:37:22.780 in here for both the worlds and uh in a paris potential for clenching um i know Shopify had to 04:37:22.780 --> 04:37:28.940 be energy to to get there so yeah at this point it's just kind of wide open her at the top of 04:37:28.940 --> 04:37:34.140 the the reins here look at close it's getting actually insane it's funny because like this 04:37:34.140 --> 04:37:39.900 This is when all the conversations on Twitter start coming out of it's NA depth or NA inconsistency, 04:37:39.900 --> 04:37:45.620 but as somebody that was a fan of EU, I grew up in the EURLCS scene, I will say here and 04:37:45.620 --> 04:37:50.260 say I think it is becoming pure NA depth at this point. 04:37:50.260 --> 04:37:54.580 People are rising to the bar of what energy started a few years ago. 04:37:54.580 --> 04:37:55.580 Okay. 04:37:55.580 --> 04:37:59.140 We have a grand finals now, though, and it's time to start talking about it because 04:37:59.140 --> 04:38:01.460 it's on its way at one more best of seven. 04:38:01.460 --> 04:38:08.220 the open number five for North America, Shopify rebellion and foot eSports. This is going to 04:38:08.220 --> 04:38:13.220 be a wonderful matchup. We have Shopify rebellion now working on this new strat, this new plan 04:38:13.220 --> 04:38:18.000 that seems to be working and their opponents on the side looking hot. This is going to 04:38:18.000 --> 04:38:21.460 be, as in my opinion, a great end to the day. 04:38:21.460 --> 04:38:26.060 It is because, you know, this rebellion foot squad, we ended up seeing them earlier 04:38:26.060 --> 04:38:31.180 run in the event and I think you know foot has in my opinion kind of been a bit 04:38:31.180 --> 04:38:36.140 a very hot hand of a rebellion they definitely showed up against SSG 04:38:36.140 --> 04:38:40.700 earlier today they looking for and they're looking better than ever this is 04:38:40.700 --> 04:38:45.420 something where you know their place I mean LJ has been phenomenal I love 04:38:45.420 --> 04:38:49.580 watching LJ this tournament and now's their chance to kind of close it out 04:38:49.580 --> 04:38:52.300 and put themselves back in that conversation I mean it's tight there's 04:38:52.300 --> 04:38:57.180 race for number one in N. A. Right now. And both of these teams have such a good, you know, 04:38:57.180 --> 04:39:02.620 strong case for battling into those top spaces. It's really interesting too, because their 04:39:02.620 --> 04:39:08.540 play styles actually are kind of mimicking each other at times. They both allow their 04:39:08.540 --> 04:39:13.740 opposition to really play their offensive game. They hold back a little bit and just wait 04:39:13.740 --> 04:39:19.260 for an opportunity to present itself. So this is going to really come down to who can really 04:39:19.260 --> 04:39:22.960 the last two. So, uh, we're 04:39:22.960 --> 04:39:24.260 going to be going to the 04:39:24.260 --> 04:39:26.260 Gopetaux for toe as far as 04:39:26.260 --> 04:39:28.260 aggression starts, obviously 04:39:28.260 --> 04:39:30.260 on the end of Shopify. That's 04:39:30.260 --> 04:39:32.260 kind of just their thing. They 04:39:32.260 --> 04:39:34.260 know when to pull out all the 04:39:34.260 --> 04:39:37.260 stops. However, on the other 04:39:37.260 --> 04:39:39.260 end of the field, you do have 04:39:39.260 --> 04:39:41.260 a battle of experience, right? 04:39:41.260 --> 04:39:43.260 So all the way around there. 04:39:43.260 --> 04:39:45.260 It's super interesting that 04:39:45.260 --> 04:39:47.260 nobody from Shopify is here, 04:39:47.260 --> 04:39:51.900 I can tell you all the progressive fan vote is up right now. 04:39:51.900 --> 04:39:52.940 I should take SR hashtag. 04:39:52.940 --> 04:39:56.940 FUT is a grand finals here for the open five championship Sunday. 04:39:57.260 --> 04:39:58.260 It's going to be taking the crown. 04:39:58.260 --> 04:39:59.460 Let us know now. 04:40:00.300 --> 04:40:05.460 There there was a mention here for, um, for a little stat here for Justin, 04:40:05.460 --> 04:40:07.500 the D-Roc put in here and I'm not going to lie. 04:40:07.860 --> 04:40:10.260 I don't really want to say it because I don't want to be the one to 04:40:10.260 --> 04:40:10.740 jinx it. 04:40:10.740 --> 04:40:14.340 Now either one of you want to want to call out man. 04:40:14.340 --> 04:40:31.340 Last tournament win in general for Justin was the draw 8 where he was on rebellion of December 3rd 2023 last RLCS win it was 21 22 and winter 1 with the general defeated SSG. 04:40:31.340 --> 04:40:33.680 Oh, that was a great time.

That's 04:44:39.660 --> 04:44:47.020 Where his teammate was looking and now she's dropped off good 50 though from rebellion sneak that ball back to LJ 04:44:48.260 --> 04:44:50.500 Rebellion in full control of this right now, but 04:44:51.340 --> 04:44:58.040 Unable to get any kind of solid possession they can barely win that boost in the corner fake challenge from first killer to rip it away from chronic 04:44:58.060 --> 04:45:03.780 She's still right that rhythm. But again, you have a movie boosted LJ and cofa rotates right back in 04:45:03.780 --> 04:45:05.780 You know when it looks like foot of winning 04:45:05.780 --> 04:45:08.780 They're really just not able to get any control, go for a pre-flig... 04:45:08.780 --> 04:45:09.780 There's it! 04:45:09.780 --> 04:45:11.780 And just can't find it over Justin. 04:45:14.780 --> 04:45:16.780 I start here for Shotfire Rebellion. 04:45:16.780 --> 04:45:20.780 You can see the threatening positions that Foot is getting in, 04:45:20.780 --> 04:45:23.780 but the defense has been able to step up to the task. 04:45:23.780 --> 04:45:27.780 LG specifically, really big stop from him early on in this game. 04:45:27.780 --> 04:45:29.780 It's been enough. 04:45:29.780 --> 04:45:32.780 Missed there for first killer. Now, ball out in the middle of the field. 04:45:32.780 --> 04:45:36.000 That is not push rebellion wanted, but they get away with it 04:45:36.000 --> 04:45:39.560 I mean everyone from foot certainly not expecting them to not hit the ball twice 04:45:39.960 --> 04:45:44.400 You're trying to feel the clear clear never comes finally. We'll move forward 04:45:45.480 --> 04:45:48.280 Rebellion will actually get out go for a handoff pass 04:45:50.000 --> 04:45:54.440 Not much more only two shots on target four foot so far 04:45:54.760 --> 04:45:59.600 They can get a third here LJ just made it too hard for anyone to actually attack the ball 04:45:59.600 --> 04:46:03.960 He buys enough to the first killer and they lost the ball first killer dust the net 04:46:04.480 --> 04:46:07.440 That is not the touch you're looking for if you're Justin 04:46:07.440 --> 04:46:09.820 You have a lot of time here as well 04:46:09.820 --> 04:46:16.320 I think he was trying to take it upwards ended up passing it right out to first killer who has been on fire today 04:46:16.320 --> 04:46:19.400 You do not want to give first killer a free shot on that 04:46:20.040 --> 04:46:26.560 And unfortunately for foot that's exactly what happened and first killer punishes them. He's a dot machine 04:46:26.560 --> 04:46:30.360 Al J chasing cheese off the ceiling. 04:46:33.360 --> 04:46:35.560 Took out a little bit of time to figure this out. 04:46:37.060 --> 04:46:37.960 Should get some booze. 04:46:37.960 --> 04:46:39.460 She went to go steal that corner again, 04:46:39.460 --> 04:46:40.960 but you don't win those 50s. 04:46:40.960 --> 04:46:42.560 You don't control the midfield. 04:46:42.560 --> 04:46:44.260 You don't even hit the ball. 04:46:44.260 --> 04:46:46.160 Cheese will get there. 04:46:46.160 --> 04:46:49.160 Third goal will surely put game one under wraps. 04:46:49.160 --> 04:46:51.360 Still a chance for foot first kill. 04:46:51.360 --> 04:46:52.160 Now we're making it out. 04:46:52.160 --> 04:46:54.660 Al J was fast, but you said it. 04:46:54.660 --> 04:46:57.460 for having to land and recover. 04:46:57.460 --> 04:46:59.580 It still looks real difficult for Foot. 04:46:59.580 --> 04:47:01.540 LJ cutting the rotation, getting there, 04:47:01.540 --> 04:47:03.020 and now Foot are running into each other. 04:47:03.020 --> 04:47:06.020 But she wins the ball, tried to pass to Justin. 04:47:06.020 --> 04:47:08.340 Foot doing everything they can to keep possession, 04:47:08.340 --> 04:47:10.220 pass, free catch for Sheez. 04:47:10.220 --> 04:47:12.380 Chronic free jump, he only had 13. 04:47:12.380 --> 04:47:14.380 It was an all-out attack from Foot, 04:47:14.380 --> 04:47:15.700 and they couldn't get anything. 04:47:15.700 --> 04:47:18.300 And LJ still battles through that bump attempt, 04:47:18.300 --> 04:47:21.020 almost another goal for Rebellion. 04:47:21.020 --> 04:47:24.460 More defensive brilliance from LJ. 04:47:24.460 --> 04:47:33.220 Rebellion get away again with making some mistakes defensively on terms of the double commit but getting bailed out through individual excellence 04:47:37.940 --> 04:47:40.340 Not a lot of moves for Justin Scott cheese 04:47:40.780 --> 04:47:42.220 chronic already downfield 04:47:42.220 --> 04:47:44.340 Product with the quick pass back to Justin 04:47:44.420 --> 04:47:49.660 He had to avoid a defender and on target shot would have just been dug right back to his net 04:47:49.660 --> 04:47:55.120 LJ with a pass to Kofir on the other side of demo leaving first killer alone before the respawn 04:47:55.540 --> 04:47:57.540 Cheese again needed with time left 04:47:57.740 --> 04:48:02.300 Chronic off the corner leaves it just to have this just going in and got nothing 04:48:02.740 --> 04:48:07.200 GG's for rebellion in game one still second on the clock, so we'll have to wait for this 04:48:07.700 --> 04:48:15.000 This kickoff but LJ again, he jumps the lane. He knows that foot's gonna be desperate a long-range bouncer 04:48:15.000 --> 04:48:18.160 easy for LJ, who's been so good. 04:48:18.160 --> 04:48:20.740 I mean, you saw him multiple times step up to the plate 04:48:20.740 --> 04:48:22.440 when Rebellion really needed him. 04:48:22.440 --> 04:48:26.140 It was just LJ separating, you know, 04:48:26.140 --> 04:48:28.340 or just LJ on the front line, 04:48:28.340 --> 04:48:30.280 preventing Foot from getting that goal. 04:48:30.280 --> 04:48:32.620 He kept on making the play. 04:48:32.620 --> 04:48:35.560 I think for Foot, though, the one positive is that 04:48:35.560 --> 04:48:37.120 they had looks, they had chances. 04:48:37.120 --> 04:48:38.820 They just couldn't put them away. 04:48:38.820 --> 04:48:40.900 And, you know, Rebellion, on the other hand, 04:48:40.900 --> 04:48:42.960 I think what you're thankful for is how good 04:48:42.960 --> 04:48:44.660 LJ is looking right now. 04:48:44.660 --> 04:48:47.900 They got a couple freebies though, I think, you know, that last one. 04:48:47.900 --> 04:48:50.660 And then also the Justin Mistvich right to purse killer. 04:48:50.780 --> 04:48:54.420 I don't think you could expect foot to keep making mistakes like that. 04:48:54.780 --> 04:48:59.380 But for rebellion, the positives are that you got those chances. 04:48:59.380 --> 04:49:01.100 You got those looks and you put them away. 04:49:01.820 --> 04:49:05.900 Foot almost had straight zero statistically chronic having three 04:49:05.900 --> 04:49:10.980 saves, but only two shots total for foot in game number one. 04:49:10.980 --> 04:49:17.380 Remember back when the playoffs started and put it be rebellion for to it was rebellion defense that was looking shaky 04:49:17.780 --> 04:49:23.660 And they couldn't keep things stable, but then ball really leaky on foot tap the field in this one 04:49:23.660 --> 04:49:31.660 So it's got some work to do they got a huge wing against NRG and definitely one of the hardest roads to make it to the grand finals 04:49:31.660 --> 04:49:33.660 in this playoff run James and 04:49:34.100 --> 04:49:38.780 Rebellion gotta beat them twice here somehow and they're bringing everything right now with LJ 04:49:38.780 --> 04:49:45.420 Yeah, LJ started out high, but I think one thing to point to as well in the last time these two teams matched up is that 04:49:45.560 --> 04:49:49.760 Foot had a really flat game one as well. If you remember 04:49:50.300 --> 04:49:56.920 It was very one-sided a three-to-nothing game in favor of rebellion really not many chances at all for foot 04:49:56.920 --> 04:50:00.860 But then foot bounced back with a 5-0 in game two. So 04:50:01.460 --> 04:50:06.620 Even though game one wasn't super pretty four foot they've shown in the past. They can shake that off quickly 04:50:08.780 --> 04:50:15.780 Let's see what they can do to cool down Rebellion. 04:50:15.780 --> 04:50:18.780 Kofor quietly doing great work today. 04:50:18.780 --> 04:50:19.780 Out the breach! 04:50:19.780 --> 04:50:20.780 Jullo to deliver! 04:50:20.780 --> 04:50:23.780 First killer knows Kofor's got him all day! 04:50:23.780 --> 04:50:24.780 Beautiful first touch! 04:50:24.780 --> 04:50:27.780 Sealy reset pass! 04:50:27.780 --> 04:50:33.780 First killers off the ground as well as pre-jumping before that last touch from Kofor came through. 04:50:33.780 --> 04:50:37.140 Synergy for rebellion is there the team play is there 04:50:38.420 --> 04:50:45.740 That's been the big criticism from rebellion is that they just cannot find ways to utilize each other's individual excellence 04:50:46.100 --> 04:50:48.100 In ways that you'd expect 04:50:48.180 --> 04:50:50.180 But now they're starting to get it done 04:50:51.100 --> 04:50:54.980 Violent parents of a two-time world champion player turned coaches 04:50:55.780 --> 04:51:02.540 figured out how to get the boys on the right track here on rebellion in the Paris split chronic 04:51:03.780 --> 04:51:11.520 Trying to get something going here for foot been unable to score as Justin is 50 knocked to the side 04:51:12.360 --> 04:51:19.280 First minute goes by foot total in the series so far have only generated two shots no shots again two so far 04:51:22.360 --> 04:51:29.100 Rebellion in control of this grand final so far cheese needs help from Justin does find it, but it is contested 04:51:29.700 --> 04:51:30.940 chronic 04:51:30.940 --> 04:51:37.840 Going towards net. There's a bump on the back line and that gets foot their first goal finally gets some physicality 04:51:37.840 --> 04:51:44.340 Cheese is on the right side. Cooper has no clue what's about to hit him here and cheese kicks him out of a stadium 04:51:44.580 --> 04:51:47.120 And foot finally find their first goal of the series 04:51:50.260 --> 04:51:54.540 That was a big bump there each play from cheese off ball play 04:51:55.420 --> 04:51:57.420 Cooper didn't see it coming 04:51:57.420 --> 04:52:02.420 Foot bounce right back, and now another chance. Justin should have some space. 04:52:03.420 --> 04:52:04.420 Chronic underneath him. 04:52:06.420 --> 04:52:09.420 Jumps down. Kofur ready for that ball.

He'll grab the midfield and LJ gets a perfect skill there. I mean full speed. This is ridiculous from LJ 04:55:07.480 --> 04:55:13.040 LJ doesn't miss a beat. Look at the touch to first killer goes off the ceiling 04:55:13.040 --> 04:55:19.040 All the team plays are evolving for Shopify Rebellion. 04:55:19.040 --> 04:55:23.040 LG just did the pop-up initial touch to get first killer in the past. 04:55:23.040 --> 04:55:26.040 He was driving full speed getting up to that play 04:55:26.040 --> 04:55:29.040 and he just gets a perfect pop on that ball. 04:55:29.040 --> 04:55:30.040 The timing was incredible. 04:55:30.040 --> 04:55:34.040 And then to get the give and go from first killer, 04:55:34.040 --> 04:55:36.040 LG's having a generational day. 04:55:36.040 --> 04:55:38.040 They're evolving. 04:55:38.040 --> 04:55:41.040 The team plays are there. 04:55:41.040 --> 04:55:47.040 We knew they were good individually, but now they're combining that with team plays. 04:55:47.040 --> 04:55:51.040 The trust for LJ to go up there on the ceiling, getting the setup. 04:55:51.040 --> 04:55:55.040 Everything is going right for Shopify Rebellion. 04:55:55.040 --> 04:55:57.040 We'll see if a zero-second goal can happen. 04:55:57.040 --> 04:55:59.040 G's half a look goes for the pass. 04:55:59.040 --> 04:56:02.040 It's shut down by LJ, but it's off the corner. 04:56:02.040 --> 04:56:05.040 And it's still Airborne first killer towards net. 04:56:05.040 --> 04:56:06.040 G's will keep it up. 04:56:06.040 --> 04:56:10.480 Oh, that's a good touch from cheese to keep the play alive, but you got to go the distance 04:56:10.960 --> 04:56:15.120 She's having to avoid chronic on his way to the ball. I thought might be too far 04:56:16.880 --> 04:56:18.380 Justin 04:56:18.380 --> 04:56:24.400 No chance that it first killer makes sure that it touches the ground and that's two straight game wins for rebellion 04:56:24.400 --> 04:56:26.800 And that's got to be a timeout being forced 04:56:27.800 --> 04:56:34.320 But they cannot find a way to slow down this rebellion offense though and algae 04:56:34.320 --> 04:56:38.360 specifically has been lights out today. 04:56:38.360 --> 04:56:41.320 Whoa, what did he eat for breakfast? 04:56:41.320 --> 04:56:44.000 I want some of that because he's been crazy. 04:56:44.000 --> 04:56:48.600 And then both Kofa and LJ working with First Killer 04:56:48.600 --> 04:56:49.720 on some great plays. 04:56:49.720 --> 04:56:52.400 You saw Kofa getting up there, getting off the ceiling 04:56:52.400 --> 04:56:54.760 with the flip reset. 04:56:54.760 --> 04:56:58.440 Able to get that pass to a pre-jumping First Killer. 04:56:58.440 --> 04:57:01.960 And then LJ, that pop going off the ceiling, 04:57:01.960 --> 04:57:06.440 These were two insane team goals from Rebellion. 04:57:07.520 --> 04:57:09.680 They look unbeatable right now. 04:57:09.680 --> 04:57:12.480 This is, we watched them play against Gen G, 04:57:13.800 --> 04:57:16.280 and the game was over before I could blink. 04:57:16.280 --> 04:57:18.160 And then we watched them play 04:57:18.160 --> 04:57:20.600 in that last series against Space Station, 04:57:20.600 --> 04:57:23.240 and the game was almost over before I could blink. 04:57:23.240 --> 04:57:26.280 I mean, these guys are absolutely crushing it. 04:57:26.280 --> 04:57:30.960 LJ is at the front of this new age rebellion. 04:57:30.960 --> 04:57:32.960 That's a new age like it's been like forever. 04:57:32.960 --> 04:57:35.680 But like Kofir just joined this team this season. 04:57:35.680 --> 04:57:38.520 And just if we were, I think we were all disappointed 04:57:38.520 --> 04:57:40.320 with not seeing the outpouring of offense. 04:57:40.320 --> 04:57:42.000 We thought this team would have, 04:57:42.000 --> 04:57:43.960 and we say it over and over and over again, 04:57:43.960 --> 04:57:46.240 but man, this is exactly what we thought 04:57:46.240 --> 04:57:48.360 Rebellion would always be. 04:57:48.360 --> 04:57:52.280 Well, you know, that's the expectations you have 04:57:52.280 --> 04:57:54.280 on a team like this, you know, 04:57:54.280 --> 04:57:55.600 and they did come out strong. 04:57:55.600 --> 04:57:59.640 They won the first open of the year. 04:57:59.640 --> 04:58:02.320 But since then, I'm a little bit flat. 04:58:02.320 --> 04:58:05.240 And internationally, I think we wanted to see more out of them. 04:58:05.240 --> 04:58:08.680 But it really does feel like maybe rebellion 04:58:08.680 --> 04:58:12.440 has turned a page, those two goals, team goals, 04:58:12.440 --> 04:58:16.520 from rebellion have to put some faith in you. 04:58:16.520 --> 04:58:19.640 That they found out how to bring that chemistry, 04:58:19.640 --> 04:58:22.320 how to get that synergy that's been lacking. 04:58:22.320 --> 04:58:24.360 And it got them that game win. 04:58:24.360 --> 04:58:26.240 It's clear they found faith in each other. 04:58:26.240 --> 04:58:34.960 What work they had to do to make it happen and am I crazy early or was it was there no time out there? 04:58:34.960 --> 04:58:38.400 No time out from foot. I didn't see it. They didn't call it. 04:58:38.400 --> 04:58:45.280 Now, foot did end up winning that second game when they first played during the playoffs like you said. 04:58:45.280 --> 04:58:54.160 Not too much pressure here from foot. The shots were too weak and no boost but definitely not the result that foot were hoping for in game number two. 04:58:54.160 --> 04:58:55.720 Justin off the ceiling. 04:58:55.720 --> 04:58:57.000 There's too much for him to get back. 04:58:57.000 --> 04:58:59.680 Jeez, he slows the ball down. 04:58:59.680 --> 04:59:01.000 Hope is probably happy for that. 04:59:01.000 --> 04:59:02.680 It forced a double commit out of first killers. 04:59:02.680 --> 04:59:04.000 Got no boost. 04:59:04.000 --> 04:59:06.280 Chronicle immediately jumped up, 04:59:06.280 --> 04:59:08.360 hopefully giving Justin a chance at it. 04:59:09.600 --> 04:59:11.680 Chronicle, that's called for Justin. 04:59:11.680 --> 04:59:12.520 Yeah. 04:59:12.520 --> 04:59:13.360 Almost a bomb. 04:59:13.360 --> 04:59:15.120 I think Justin lands that bump up first killer. 04:59:15.120 --> 04:59:16.520 Maybe that ball sneaks in. 04:59:17.440 --> 04:59:18.600 But, I mean, for Floyd, 04:59:18.600 --> 04:59:21.520 that Chronicle is playing deep third. 04:59:21.520 --> 04:59:26.000 Trusting Justin to work and somehow this one leaves its way through. 04:59:26.000 --> 04:59:27.600 I didn't think this would be going in. 04:59:27.600 --> 04:59:31.960 Justin creeps up near both was maybe expecting Kronik to do more. 04:59:31.960 --> 04:59:33.600 Kofi didn't even have any booze. 04:59:33.600 --> 04:59:38.080 That's another giveaway that foot gets to rebellion. 04:59:38.520 --> 04:59:42.320 And it came from chronic two who's been so good this week, 04:59:42.320 --> 04:59:44.480 especially when it comes to protecting the ball. 04:59:45.120 --> 04:59:49.040 But he absolutely lost it there and gave Kofi a window to shoot. 04:59:49.040 --> 04:59:58.040 The wind was still tight. Comfort hit that with pretty much no boost, but I mean you're sitting there. Things went wrong, Kronik didn't get the best touch. 04:59:58.040 --> 05:00:11.040 Another goal for Rebellion. The wheels starting to fall off and you know you wonder if the timeout would have been the play here because it seems like things are just going even more wrong. 05:00:11.040 --> 05:00:13.040 Oh 05:00:13.040 --> 05:00:15.920 That is devastating for foot, but for rebellion 05:00:16.600 --> 05:00:20.920 They've got to have all the confidence in the world. They're getting freebies from foot 05:00:22.640 --> 05:00:24.960 They're going to ahead already in this one 05:00:29.320 --> 05:00:31.320 I thought they might get that one 05:00:31.320 --> 05:00:32.820 I'm going to run this kind of 05:00:32.820 --> 05:00:37.020 Kind of an RGS right now. Isn't it like what do you mean by that? 05:00:37.020 --> 05:00:45.660 We're so used to NRG 4041 stomping every team on Championship Sunday and the other team just not even looking like they got 05:00:46.380 --> 05:00:47.420 like 05:00:47.420 --> 05:00:50.900 Any kind of chance to do anything rebellion are doing that today 05:00:51.660 --> 05:00:54.520 Foot looks so good against NRG. Yeah 05:00:57.460 --> 05:01:05.600 You know we've seen it so many times for NRG outclasses their opponent and what we're seeing now is shop of my rebellion 05:01:05.600 --> 05:01:08.240 out-classing foot. 05:01:08.240 --> 05:01:09.840 Great shot from first kill. 05:01:09.840 --> 05:01:11.800 That's just a ridiculous shot. 05:01:11.800 --> 05:01:16.200 Like, she had most of that net cover, despite LJ opening that up. 05:01:16.200 --> 05:01:18.640 But like, you had a perfect shot with Kofi. 05:01:18.640 --> 05:01:21.120 You had a first kill of the dot machine. 05:01:21.120 --> 05:01:23.120 Doston, then again. 05:01:23.120 --> 05:01:24.280 What are you supposed to do? 05:01:24.280 --> 05:01:26.080 Finally, foot will score. 05:01:26.080 --> 05:01:27.960 Justin off the kickoff. 05:01:27.960 --> 05:01:31.200 There's a little bit of life on the hard beat monitor. 05:01:31.200 --> 05:01:32.360 A stabilizing goal. 05:01:32.360 --> 05:01:33.960 Lovely 50 from Justin. 05:01:33.960 --> 05:01:35.400 Didn't rush the play. 05:01:35.400 --> 05:01:39.080 He just plays the 50 towards the sidewall. 05:01:39.080 --> 05:01:41.400 And that gives foot a chance. 05:01:41.400 --> 05:01:43.720 Gives him a chance. 05:01:43.720 --> 05:01:47.400 Half the game left, just a two goal deficit. 05:01:47.400 --> 05:01:50.720 And maybe off kickoff, they can keep it going. 05:01:50.720 --> 05:01:52.240 You can double off. 05:01:52.240 --> 05:01:54.320 You got a different game always. 05:01:54.320 --> 05:01:55.280 He went for it. 05:01:55.280 --> 05:01:56.200 You took the risk. 05:01:56.200 --> 05:01:57.280 You get burned. 05:01:57.280 --> 05:02:00.760 And the rebellion stacked the lead again. 05:02:00.760 --> 05:02:03.560 Justin, he was trying to go for a pass in field, 05:02:03.560 --> 05:02:06.180 But Jesus was too far away and LJ read it. 05:02:06.180 --> 05:02:09.360 It was too telegraphed. 05:02:09.360 --> 05:02:11.560 And so despite getting that quick goal, 05:02:11.560 --> 05:02:14.720 they give another one up, and this game feels far away once more. 05:02:18.160 --> 05:02:21.960 I must have feel right now in this game three, 05:02:21.960 --> 05:02:24.800 you're up 4-1, you're first killer. 05:02:24.800 --> 05:02:27.640 You've had some disappointing runs this season so far. 05:02:27.640 --> 05:02:32.280 Like you said, winning the very first open of the season. 05:02:32.280 --> 05:02:33.840 But not like this. 05:02:33.840 --> 05:02:35.120 But not like this. 05:02:35.120 --> 05:02:38.920 Not with Kofa, LJ and First Killer just doing whatever they want. 05:02:38.920 --> 05:02:39.960 Shooting perfectly. 05:02:39.960 --> 05:02:41.680 Look at this pass from First Killer. 05:02:41.680 --> 05:02:44.440 Kofa makes it too difficult for Cheese to save. 05:02:44.440 --> 05:02:46.200 And LJ dots it again. 05:02:46.200 --> 05:02:47.760 They're unbeatable right now. 05:02:47.760 --> 05:02:49.400 Kofa does his job perfectly. 05:02:49.400 --> 05:02:53.040 It just put a hard shot on that force, the rebound. 05:02:53.040 --> 05:02:57.360 And then LJ in that shooting position, it's good game. 05:02:57.360 --> 05:02:59.480 I mean, he's already hit a no-look double today 05:02:59.480 --> 05:03:00.960 to put someone out of their misery. 05:03:00.960 --> 05:03:08.720 LJ is feeling locked in the synergy is there. This is a different Shopify rebellion team 05:03:10.900 --> 05:03:13.640 First killer launching this downfield and foot 05:03:14.960 --> 05:03:16.960 I'm getting swept up right now 05:03:18.080 --> 05:03:20.940 Justin will try for a dunk and it's not going to work 05:03:21.520 --> 05:03:28.160 But you got to imagine even though you didn't use it. You still have that time out after this next game 05:03:28.160 --> 05:03:33.960 They're trying to find a way to fight back and get into this series. 05:03:33.960 --> 05:03:40.920 They might do it off the kickoff after Justin scored, but if we looked at the possession, 05:03:40.920 --> 05:03:46.560 the slider, we'd see probably 65% plus for Rebellion. 05:03:46.560 --> 05:03:48.160 They have just held the ball. 05:03:48.160 --> 05:03:51.640 Even in their own half, they've been the ones commanding their possession. 05:03:51.640 --> 05:03:56.920 And just there's been no angle for foot to actually control the ball, control pace 05:03:56.920 --> 05:03:57.920 of play. 05:03:57.920 --> 05:04:02.920 always slap the ball. Hope we win this 50. Do we get a boost? We split it. Now we 05:04:02.920 --> 05:04:06.360 got to try to look look around for somebody. Nobody's there and first kill 05:04:06.360 --> 05:04:10.000 just takes the ball passes the cofer. It's just desperation play after 05:04:10.000 --> 05:04:15.400 desperation play for foot. Desperation and honestly this game from the 05:04:15.400 --> 05:04:18.920 perspective of foot has been pretty hopeless. They never really worried 05:04:18.920 --> 05:04:23.240 there was a brief moment with Justin scores off that nice 50 up the side 05:04:23.240 --> 05:04:29.160 All's able to get one in but then right away immediately rebellion gets one back 05:04:30.160 --> 05:04:33.880 This one wasn't close the series hasn't been close 05:04:33.880 --> 05:04:35.360 It has been 05:04:35.360 --> 05:04:41.400 Domination for rebellion but now to be one can they get one get something try to go into the next game with a bit of 05:04:41.560 --> 05:04:45.080 Positivity no even that when first killer is outnumbered 05:04:46.200 --> 05:04:48.600 Rebellion are still keeping foot at bay 05:04:49.920 --> 05:04:53.020 Trying to find a positive charge, but LJ canceled it out 05:04:53.240 --> 05:04:58.160 And throws one more, almost finding a six goal. 05:04:58.160 --> 05:05:02.480 Rebellion, finding a way to plant their flag on foot. 05:05:03.440 --> 05:05:06.360 They got one more to go before they just sweep themselves 05:05:06.360 --> 05:05:08.520 as grand champions. 05:05:08.520 --> 05:05:10.320 Yeah, we've seen this before, 05:05:10.320 --> 05:05:14.120 but we haven't seen it to this degree from Rebellion. 05:05:14.120 --> 05:05:19.120 Rebellion, they look like a different caliber of team. 05:05:19.120 --> 05:05:24.280 team that you if you were just black out what the title of this 05:05:24.280 --> 05:05:28.520 series is where we are in the tournament you just watch this in a vacuum 05:05:28.520 --> 05:05:34.480 you're gonna assume this is an early round game you just hide the team name 05:05:34.480 --> 05:05:37.520 just all you see is rebellion and anonymous opponents you're thinking oh 05:05:37.520 --> 05:05:41.280 this must be something from the Swiss stage with how much they're dominating 05:05:41.280 --> 05:05:46.280 but no this is the grand final and they are playing at this level they're 05:05:46.280 --> 05:05:49.720 I'm slashing foot to this degree. 05:05:49.720 --> 05:05:54.000 This is the Shopify rebellion that those fans over there 05:05:54.000 --> 05:05:55.920 at the rebellion have been waiting for. 05:05:55.920 --> 05:06:00.560 The one that you hoped would show, would finally emerge. 05:06:00.560 --> 05:06:01.400 Well, guess what? 05:06:01.400 --> 05:06:03.560 Apparently, it's time. 05:06:03.560 --> 05:06:05.800 I don't know what you do against shooting like that. 05:06:05.800 --> 05:06:07.920 Kofi, the first killer, literally hit almost 05:06:07.920 --> 05:06:12.320 the exact same spot of the net from different places 05:06:12.320 --> 05:06:14.320 on the field. 05:06:14.320 --> 05:06:16.000 What are you supposed to do? 05:06:16.000 --> 05:06:22.080 cheese the bounces aren't there for him is no smiles but cheese is talking to the 05:06:22.080 --> 05:06:27.960 boys and foot they bought themselves a little time with a timeout obviously we 05:06:27.960 --> 05:06:34.160 all like a post game to timeout when you're down oh to but a it's not that 05:06:34.160 --> 05:06:37.680 we saw a bunch of best of seven reverse sweeps okay anything can happen 05:06:37.680 --> 05:06:41.400 online from this point foot will take the time out and try to start that 05:06:41.400 --> 05:06:47.460 journey here. And it's going to require a hot start. I just don't see foot come 05:06:47.460 --> 05:06:52.040 making this come back from behind. You're pretty much you have to maintain 05:06:52.040 --> 05:06:57.040 the lead the entire time. You can't give them any confidence, but defensively 05:06:57.040 --> 05:07:01.000 rebellion has been able to make these stops even in 2v1 situations. Even at 05:07:01.000 --> 05:07:05.080 the very beginning of this series you saw LJ between a rock and a hard 05:07:05.080 --> 05:07:07.880 plays. It looked like this. There was no way the ball's not going in. He 05:07:07.880 --> 05:07:10.440 had somebody on the side ball somebody in the middle of the field. He 05:07:10.440 --> 05:07:11.280 didn't have any boost. 05:07:11.280 --> 05:07:14.600 Somehow Dodgers Bumps gets the ball to the corner. 05:07:14.600 --> 05:07:17.520 No matter the odds stacked against Rebellion defensively, 05:07:17.520 --> 05:07:19.000 they just keep coming out on top. 05:07:19.000 --> 05:07:21.800 And then offensively, they're reaching heights 05:07:21.800 --> 05:07:23.600 we have not seen. 05:07:23.600 --> 05:07:26.600 To be able to have this level of synergy, 05:07:26.600 --> 05:07:30.320 to be pre-jumping, to be going for off the ceiling 05:07:30.320 --> 05:07:33.280 plays where you're staying in, trusting that first killer 05:07:33.280 --> 05:07:34.440 is going to tie me up. 05:07:34.440 --> 05:07:37.720 These are plays that, you know, 05:07:37.720 --> 05:07:39.680 if you're a Rebellion fan, 05:07:39.680 --> 05:07:44.680 You have been waiting for this all year, and you finally got it. 05:07:44.680 --> 05:07:48.160 Double fake on the kickoff to start game four. 05:07:48.160 --> 05:07:51.480 One more to go for rebellion. 05:07:51.480 --> 05:07:55.760 To walk to a regional victory. 05:07:55.760 --> 05:07:58.280 As cheese trying to punk that. 05:07:58.280 --> 05:07:58.780 Oh, LJ! 05:07:58.780 --> 05:08:00.880 I got the LJ! 05:08:00.880 --> 05:08:02.440 You got to make sure you clear it. 05:08:02.440 --> 05:08:04.160 LJ's working. 05:08:04.160 --> 05:08:05.520 Heat check. 05:08:05.520 --> 05:08:06.320 Uh-oh. 05:08:06.320 --> 05:08:08.320 LJ's on fire! 05:08:09.840 --> 05:08:15.300 The defense is terrified and I certainly wouldn't be if I see LJ at the top of the box today. 05:08:20.240 --> 05:08:25.400 There are no answers for foot. They needed a hot start James. You said it and instead 05:08:26.160 --> 05:08:27.520 they're in the freezer. 05:08:27.520 --> 05:08:34.200 LJ will kick this downfield as the rest of foot will try to get this going quickly to Justin from cheese. 05:08:34.200 --> 05:08:39.800 Hard off the ceiling, but it ain't gonna get you nothing as first killer returns fire. 05:08:39.800 --> 05:08:43.360 LJ trying for the pass, gets the fifth deep, that's all he gets. 05:08:43.360 --> 05:08:51.000 This is looking grim for foot, first killer full boost, just play keep away. 05:08:51.000 --> 05:08:55.680 Culver also cuts off LJ, so that actually puts LJ in an awkward spot. 05:08:55.680 --> 05:08:58.400 He gets bumped off the ball, but still the play is broken up. 05:08:58.400 --> 05:09:00.400 It's just in! 05:09:10.400 --> 05:09:14.400 Wow, that has to be the punch in the gut for foot. 05:09:15.400 --> 05:09:18.400 The wheels have completely fallen off. 05:09:19.400 --> 05:09:24.400 What are you supposed to do now if your foot, LJ, 05:09:24.400 --> 05:09:25.960 LJ 05:09:25.960 --> 05:09:29.340 Sends that one across go for steals the booze and while that helps 05:09:29.720 --> 05:09:36.660 Foot maybe get on the right one as Justin will take advantage of your mistake and somehow keep foot in this 05:09:38.680 --> 05:09:46.440 That ball down there really nice control just actually goes for a second touch quickly doesn't go for any fancy flip reset 05:09:46.440 --> 05:09:48.740 Just a quick changing direction 05:09:48.740 --> 05:09:52.880 And that's what Justin was doing really well against rebellion last time as he was making the 05:09:52.880 --> 05:09:59.080 unpredictable hit.

I think as we start to look forward, but I mean overall 05:16:53.900 --> 05:16:56.560 I guess it is it is unfortunate for a foot 05:16:56.560 --> 05:17:00.180 you would have liked to see at least a little bit of a closer series dad's at least in my opinion because 05:17:00.740 --> 05:17:04.140 You know grand finals. You always wanted to be go game six or something like that 05:17:04.640 --> 05:17:07.820 So I hope for more from foot next time.

We had potentials at the beginning of the day, but those storylines 05:22:34.320 --> 05:22:40.620 died. Yeah. But I mean, you look at this, right? Rebellion and SSG tied there first. NRG and 05:22:40.620 --> 05:22:45.880 foot tied at second. They're both with 20s in the number out under them strictly business 05:22:45.880 --> 05:22:50.680 and at Vertus and G and G with Vertus, who we really wanted to see have a good performance 05:22:50.680 --> 05:22:55.360 this weekend only ending up with eight total. It's starting to look like in a is locking 05:22:55.360 --> 05:23:00.700 in on their four. Mina though is a bigger a large discussion as well with 05:23:00.700 --> 05:23:05.500 right getting 30 there pretty much locked and then twist it it'll come down to 05:23:05.500 --> 05:23:09.160 that final open for Mina but there's gonna be some new challenges I think 05:23:09.160 --> 05:23:14.200 going to Paris so yeah I'm excited. I think there's a each region now has a 05:23:14.200 --> 05:23:18.200 reason to tune in like it's not like things are set in stone you'll get OCE 05:23:18.200 --> 05:23:21.440 as well that tirades two points separating the three teams at the 05:23:21.440 --> 05:23:25.000 top there with one spot that's gonna be important open next time 05:23:25.000 --> 05:23:28.880 Mina again Falcons potentially not making it the store. It's out of their control 05:23:28.880 --> 05:23:32.920 Yeah, a lot of storylines across all the regions here, but looking towards worlds as well 05:23:32.920 --> 05:23:37.960 I mean you almost had a chance here for for energy to clinching in that world spot here 05:23:37.960 --> 05:23:41.500 But with that loss Herc, they're not gonna be able to find that and still no one there 05:23:41.880 --> 05:23:45.120 Yeah, it just became a much closer race between 05:23:45.640 --> 05:23:50.800 NRG and Shopify or Bella and of course if you pay attention to NA that that fourth spot is 05:23:50.800 --> 05:23:54.120 is fairly close, but also a fairly wide gap, 05:23:54.120 --> 05:23:56.720 so anything can happen with the rest of the season. 05:23:56.720 --> 05:24:00.360 My eyes just keep going to the quote unquote 05:24:00.360 --> 05:24:04.880 minor regions, OCEA pack, where things are so much closer 05:24:04.880 --> 05:24:07.920 and you've only got those one or two spots available 05:24:07.920 --> 05:24:09.760 and everything's been changing for them too. 05:24:09.760 --> 05:24:12.280 So all the way across the world, 05:24:12.280 --> 05:24:14.240 as far as the world championship is concerned, 05:24:14.240 --> 05:24:17.560 it could be something we've actually never seen before. 05:24:17.560 --> 05:24:19.280 Yeah, I mean it feels like in general, 05:24:19.280 --> 05:24:25.040 we're feeling kind of a slight shift in everything across every region right now. 05:24:25.040 --> 05:24:29.360 I'm excited to see how that continues as we move towards the Paris major. 05:24:29.360 --> 05:24:35.120 Open six will be the last one. Every region's still going to play theirs out. You're up next weekend 05:24:35.120 --> 05:24:40.000 and a few others too, but it's getting closer and closer and then that world championship 05:24:40.000 --> 05:24:45.520 is on the line. So you're not going to have many more international chances to show yourself off 05:24:45.520 --> 05:24:49.520 that. Um, I think it's a 05:24:49.520 --> 05:24:50.520 really good idea to get off as 05:24:50.520 --> 05:24:51.520 we head towards that Paris 05:24:51.520 --> 05:24:52.520 major, which I hope by the way, 05:24:52.520 --> 05:24:53.520 you're going to join us at you 05:24:53.520 --> 05:24:54.520 great.
