I mean, 10:44.480 --> 10:50.320 last time you won a regional was in the first open all the way around the Copenhagen 10:50.320 --> 10:56.320 kickoff land. Now you've won your second one here halfway through the season VP. I mean talk to me 10:56.320 --> 11:01.440 what's it been like? It's been great man like winning this kind of confirms the way we've been 11:01.440 --> 11:04.800 feeling the last three weeks three four weeks already like that we've been going in the right 11:04.800 --> 11:09.760 direction and uh yeah like this is kind of like the nail in the coffin and I think we're just 11:09.760 --> 11:15.440 gonna keep going from this you know feels great. I mean call for anything to add here we got 11:15.440 --> 11:19.280 highlights between you guys and foot here I mean what's it been like what's your journey been 11:19.280 --> 11:24.620 I mean, honestly, it's just been like feeling good, like especially like the team, like we're all like just like linked them together. 11:24.620 --> 11:26.960 Like it's just been like guys like really, really fun. 11:26.960 --> 11:29.960 It's enjoyable to play with them. 11:29.960 --> 11:31.460 Yeah, it seems like it. 11:31.460 --> 11:37.400 Now, I mean, kind of kind of run me through this regional event for you guys. 11:37.400 --> 11:41.080 I mean, you guys ended up having a pretty solid run. 11:41.080 --> 11:47.580 I'd say you guys went through groups just fine and then you go into the bracket, you lose to this foot team 11:47.580 --> 11:53.420 and they're able to kind of bounce back here and face me in the finals to just completely dominate was was there any like 11:53.740 --> 11:56.480 What happened between that Saturday and Sunday? 11:57.780 --> 12:03.240 I mean my opinion I think it was like a mindset thing like we just like weren't like fully like in there 12:03.240 --> 12:07.640 But like we like talks to the team like the neck like as soon as we lost and we decided like tomorrow 12:07.640 --> 12:11.120 Like yeah, like we got a player best if you want to win this like and we should be winning it 12:11.120 --> 12:15.360 Like that's like the standard like we have said like it's not it's not even anything special in regional 12:15.360 --> 12:16.320 But we should be winning them. 12:16.320 --> 12:19.840 So we knew like we had to like, like lock ourselves in. 12:21.000 --> 12:21.680 Yeah, that's true. 12:21.680 --> 12:24.400 And then, of course, like the competition has kind of been rising a little bit. 12:24.400 --> 12:27.160 You've had NRG being a little inconsistent. 12:27.160 --> 12:30.960 But then on the other side of things, this foot team's been giving you results. 12:30.960 --> 12:34.960 You've got SSG who won the last open before you guys. 12:34.960 --> 12:37.760 I mean, what has the state of North American rock? 12:37.760 --> 12:41.680 It would have been like, honestly, like, I mean, like, like you're 12:41.680 --> 12:44.160 saying energy, energy's been like kind of regressing. 12:44.160 --> 12:47.640 like they've definitely been getting like I don't know worse but like there's been 12:47.640 --> 12:50.680 other players like for example foot like they've improved so much more so I 12:50.680 --> 12:55.080 think like I know there's like there are some teams have been improving a lot and 12:55.080 --> 12:58.200 then some teams I just haven't been so like energy hasn't been improving 12:58.200 --> 13:01.480 fuzz been improving and I mean there's will show it we've been improving too 13:01.480 --> 13:04.960 while the teams are like I think we improved faster than the teams honestly 13:04.960 --> 13:07.440 so I think like that's like that's where we have the advantage like we're 13:07.440 --> 13:13.640 able to adapt faster even though even though you guys kind of like made the 13:13.640 --> 13:18.320 grand finals look easy. I kind of want to know who was your toughest comp in the weekend. 13:18.320 --> 13:27.480 We had to be SSG, I guess, that we ran into. But I mean, I think they play great against 13:27.480 --> 13:32.720 energy, but I think energy kind of lost themselves against FUT, to be honest. I think 13:32.720 --> 13:37.440 energy is just having a little bit of a rut, you know, but I am confident, and they shall 13:37.440 --> 13:40.280 already show that before, that they'll be able to bounce back. I don't know if 13:40.280 --> 13:45.560 for the next region or for the major. But I know they can play better and they'll be back again. 13:46.120 --> 13:52.040 But I do think it was energy more so losing to themselves to FUT than FUT winning in my opinion. 13:52.040 --> 13:55.160 They play great, don't get me wrong, but I think energy can play at a higher standard. 13:56.280 --> 13:59.720 And for us the same thing, like I think SHG was kind of the hardest team we ran into. 14:03.000 --> 14:08.680 Okay, now I mean you guys definitely, I would say started the season off pretty hot, 14:08.680 --> 14:14.360 But then when it came to international competition, there were a couple of hiccups here in terms of, 14:14.360 --> 14:18.680 I guess, probably results that you might have wanted. Like you talk about the loss of Copenhagen's 14:18.680 --> 14:25.160 Karmicorp, then you go on to the major, the loss against Falcons. What have you guys learned 14:25.880 --> 14:29.480 from those international losses that you've applied to this split? 14:30.040 --> 14:34.760 I don't, the thing is, I don't think we've learned anything specific in terms of like what 14:34.760 --> 14:39.160 what we lost to them, but we improved the team as a team a lot. 14:39.160 --> 14:42.720 We changed our whole playstyle, not going to go into depth with that, 14:42.720 --> 14:45.320 but we changed our playstyle the way we think of the game. 14:45.320 --> 14:47.400 We've been working hard on it as a team, 14:47.400 --> 14:51.320 and ever since the start of the split, it's been feeling really good. 14:51.320 --> 14:55.680 Even though the first regional, or the fourth one, let's just say, 14:55.680 --> 14:57.840 we didn't perform still. 14:57.840 --> 15:01.840 We already knew in scrims, we were playing really well, 15:01.840 --> 15:03.200 and everything was feeling really good. 15:03.200 --> 15:05.640 It was just a mental thing like Hofer said earlier. 15:05.640 --> 15:07.680 And once we got that mental thing in order, 15:07.680 --> 15:09.720 you know, it started feeling a lot better on the Sunday 15:09.720 --> 15:12.680 and we finally performed like how we've been doing in scrims. 15:12.680 --> 15:15.440 But it's not so, so to say learning 15:15.440 --> 15:16.640 from those specific series, 15:16.640 --> 15:19.800 it's just we took the game in a different approach. 15:19.800 --> 15:21.160 And that's what we've been doing now 15:21.160 --> 15:22.760 and it's been feeling really good. 15:24.480 --> 15:26.080 That's fair. That's fair. 15:26.080 --> 15:28.040 VP talked to me about coaching this team. 15:28.040 --> 15:29.720 You've definitely had, I mean, 15:29.720 --> 15:31.000 you've been a rocker for so long. 15:31.000 --> 15:32.240 You play with a lot of different players. 15:32.240 --> 15:33.620 You've coached a lot of different players. 15:33.620 --> 15:35.980 What makes the squad so special? 15:35.980 --> 15:39.180 Man, Kofir, he'd be moving out there, you know. 15:39.180 --> 15:41.940 Stepping up as a leader recently, like, FKs, FK, you know, 15:41.940 --> 15:43.820 like great player. 15:43.820 --> 15:48.060 And LJ, as you can see, he can dominate the field 15:48.060 --> 15:50.260 if you want to, like, these guys are all insane, 15:50.260 --> 15:53.260 individually, and right now, it's clicking as a team. 15:53.260 --> 15:54.140 So that's all we need. 15:54.140 --> 15:56.260 And we just got to keep it going. 15:56.260 --> 15:58.060 Yeah. 15:58.060 --> 15:59.460 Can you check at that? 15:59.460 --> 16:01.380 Kofir, like, what's been, how's the chemistry 16:01.380 --> 16:06.740 like with the team? Honestly it's been like it's been pretty like really really good recently especially 16:06.740 --> 16:13.620 like I mean is this like to have like like like I don't know how to like wear this but there's 16:13.620 --> 16:17.140 like certain things like even like the smallest thing can like just like get a super like good 16:17.140 --> 16:20.340 chemistry like one person does something that they don't even know they're doing that's wrong 16:20.340 --> 16:23.460 but if they just switch it like it's like a route for like a lot of problems and just like 16:24.020 --> 16:30.420 like we did something like that and we just click like that like like it's like yeah okay 16:30.420 --> 16:35.220 Okay, let's talk international here for a second. 16:35.220 --> 16:37.900 Kofi, I heard you've been watching a lot of Mina. 16:37.900 --> 16:39.420 It's been pretty crazy over there. 16:39.420 --> 16:41.140 I want to get your thoughts on the state of Mina, 16:41.140 --> 16:43.340 especially, you know, twisted mines, sweeping rate 16:43.340 --> 16:45.180 in that last open finals. 16:45.180 --> 16:46.940 What's Mina looking like to you? 16:46.940 --> 16:48.380 I'll say, I think just in mines, 16:48.380 --> 16:49.500 like looks like the best team, 16:49.500 --> 16:51.620 like a really like top container for like landwinds, 16:51.620 --> 16:53.460 like they can easily win a land. 16:53.460 --> 16:55.940 I've like, I have a lot of confidence in that team. 16:55.940 --> 16:56.780 Yeah. 16:57.980 --> 16:59.380 How many teams do you think Mina has? 16:59.380 --> 17:03.180 Like, do you think it's a three team region now, four or five? 17:03.980 --> 17:08.620 Um, I think it's, I mean, I think it's three, but like the ones that, like that 17:08.620 --> 17:10.660 could win is just a month, I think right now. 17:11.980 --> 17:14.540 Like actually when like tournaments, like the important ones, you know, 17:16.020 --> 17:16.360 that's good. 17:16.360 --> 17:16.940 That's interesting. 17:17.980 --> 17:20.060 You don't think Falcons in that conversation anymore? 17:20.900 --> 17:21.740 Well, not right now. 17:21.740 --> 17:24.080 Like the way they're looking, like they haven't been like looking 17:24.080 --> 17:27.300 like at their peaks out, like, like, I can't say it confidently. 17:27.980 --> 17:28.340 Like, you know, 17:29.380 --> 17:33.420 I mean, that's fair. That's fair. Man. We got to see if they'll even make pairs before 17:33.420 --> 17:34.420 we can put them in the car. 17:34.420 --> 17:35.420 Yeah. 17:35.420 --> 17:40.060 We'll talk more about it later on the show. On the other side, we got Europe kicking off 17:40.060 --> 17:47.660 open five tomorrow. Violet Panda. Europe's been pretty everywhere recently. I think the 17:47.660 --> 17:52.740 major champs, gentlemen, they have like two points currently. GK has one. Well, 17:52.740 --> 17:56.900 I think they, they all might have technically one more point because they made Friday. 17:56.900 --> 18:02.400 But what have you been like, how's your been looking to you? 18:02.400 --> 18:07.300 Man, fatalities looking really good, let's just say, like the Zen to me and the fatality 18:07.300 --> 18:12.140 last year and started this year as well, they've always been a team to me like, if they can 18:12.140 --> 18:16.980 just figure it out, they'll be really good, you know, and they just didn't until this 18:16.980 --> 18:17.980 year. 18:17.980 --> 18:20.940 They've been looking really good as a team together and they've been figuring shit out. 18:20.940 --> 18:26.580 So yeah, I do think fatality might be the best team in the EU right now. 18:26.580 --> 18:32.180 But I think Gentlemates, even though they bummed out last regional, I think it's just 18:32.180 --> 18:33.180 a one-off thing. 18:33.180 --> 18:36.100 I think they looked really good in the qualifier just now, and they'll be back. 18:36.100 --> 18:42.340 I think EU just took a little bit of hit last regional, but I think everything will 18:42.340 --> 18:45.180 smoothen out over the next two. 18:45.180 --> 18:46.620 No mention of Carmencourt there. 18:46.620 --> 18:49.940 Are they not the third they used to be? 18:49.940 --> 18:50.940 They are really good. 18:50.940 --> 18:52.940 Don't get me wrong. 18:52.940 --> 18:55.860 But I think they might have to figure some stuff out. 18:55.860 --> 18:58.500 I'm not sure what it is from the like the last major and stuff. 18:59.700 --> 19:01.260 Obviously they're really good. 19:01.260 --> 19:05.380 It's Carmine Corp, but they aren't looking as dominant as they did before. 19:05.620 --> 19:07.180 And I think they still can. 19:07.180 --> 19:08.940 They just need to figure it out. 19:08.940 --> 19:13.980 When you say Gentleman is back or will be back, they'll be back to form. 19:14.020 --> 19:16.620 Do you think it's top two? 19:16.660 --> 19:19.380 Do you expect to see him in the grand finals this weekend? 19:20.340 --> 19:21.780 Well, in the EU, you mean? 19:22.780 --> 19:24.140 I think so. 19:24.140 --> 19:25.140 Yeah. 19:25.140 --> 19:26.340 I think so. 19:26.340 --> 19:27.820 OK, OK. 19:27.820 --> 19:32.620 Lastly for me, where are you guys expectations 19:32.620 --> 19:35.140 wise for the rest of the season? 19:35.140 --> 19:38.260 So this next open and then you look 19:38.260 --> 19:40.340 toward the next major world championship, 19:40.340 --> 19:43.380 like where are your sites set? 19:43.380 --> 19:43.660 Good. 19:43.660 --> 19:45.980 Go for. 19:45.980 --> 19:48.300 I guess our site sets on just like, I mean, 19:48.300 --> 19:51.980 giving our best, obviously, we want to win land 19:51.980 --> 19:53.500 and stuff like that, but I mean, 19:53.500 --> 19:55.060 we just have to like to keep continuing grinding. 19:55.060 --> 19:58.720 Like it's kind of like that question is kind of hard because like right now, 19:58.720 --> 20:00.280 like we're kind of like taking it day by day. 20:00.280 --> 20:01.780 Like it's like a whole buildup. 20:02.240 --> 20:05.640 So like we don't want to just like insane, like personally, like like future tournaments, 20:05.640 --> 20:05.980 right? 20:06.180 --> 20:09.500 So like for me, like that's kind of hard, like hard question to answer. 20:09.500 --> 20:11.720 But I think like obviously I would want to win lands. 20:11.720 --> 20:14.400 Like when my first name with my team, like, and I think with this team, 20:14.400 --> 20:15.760 like I'm pretty confident that we can. 20:16.640 --> 20:22.020 We've been talking now after the regionals as well, that we cannot 20:22.020 --> 20:24.780 change the way you've been thinking, you know, like even after a regional win, 20:24.780 --> 20:28.260 like we have been working harder the last month or maybe even longer than a month. 20:28.380 --> 20:31.020 And everything's been feeling great to be figuring stuff out. 20:31.820 --> 20:34.900 We can't just slack off after a regional win, you know, like this is where we 20:34.900 --> 20:38.060 got to, you know, we rose up there and now we got to stay there. 20:38.060 --> 20:39.500 So we got to level things out. 20:39.500 --> 20:42.420 We got to keep consistent with what we've been working on and not slack off. 20:43.060 --> 20:43.380 Yeah. 20:44.380 --> 20:44.820 I love it. 20:44.860 --> 20:45.500 I love to hear it. 20:45.500 --> 20:46.100 I love to hear it. 20:46.180 --> 20:47.900 Big congratulations. 20:47.900 --> 20:50.580 I'm very happy for your guys success over at Shopify Rebellion. 20:50.580 --> 20:55.380 And gentlemen, you know, we're gonna not take up too much of your time.

I mean, it seems like they're locked in the kind of focus on the future 21:12.740 --> 21:14.740 I think it's 21:14.740 --> 21:17.080 It's looking at North America. 21:17.080 --> 21:22.080 It's kind of clear to see with NRG looking so iffy. 21:22.940 --> 21:25.440 You don't know what kind of energy you're gonna get out of them. 21:25.440 --> 21:28.440 Shopify has kind of taken the clear number one spot. 21:30.240 --> 21:33.620 It's clear because of how good they look in the grand finals, 21:33.620 --> 21:37.040 but you still got teams like SSG who's kind of sitting there. 21:37.040 --> 21:39.040 They look spectacular the first open. 21:39.040 --> 21:41.840 So kind of waiting to see what they do in the third. 21:41.840 --> 21:44.200 And even NRG, we're still waiting for a bounce back. 21:44.200 --> 21:47.760 So that if I do that tough comp, but they look good man. 21:47.760 --> 21:49.880 I like how you kind of alluded to that, 21:49.880 --> 21:52.420 not really being sure who number one is in a, 21:52.420 --> 21:54.720 now listen, I know we don't got base here on a show, 21:54.720 --> 21:57.560 but I found two very qualified yappers 21:57.560 --> 21:59.040 that thank you, fill in the space. 21:59.040 --> 22:00.280 Let's bring them in. 22:00.280 --> 22:03.280 We got Jordy's and the cheese joining the show. 22:03.280 --> 22:05.440 Ladies and gentlemen, how we doing? 22:06.880 --> 22:08.360 After you, I exist. 22:08.360 --> 22:09.440 I'm good, thank you. 22:09.440 --> 22:18.560 Are you guys sat in for the interview? I mean, what do you think hearing that stuff from Shopify smart from VP? 22:18.740 --> 22:23.340 He gets it been around a long time wins lots. You can win. That's great 22:23.340 --> 22:29.020 But I've also been there when we lose we don't have time to stop correct mindset. Well done. Yeah 22:29.020 --> 22:31.260 I feel like it's just good to see them 22:31.260 --> 22:37.520 them gel right as well. Like we've all seen them be a little shaky throughout the first 22:37.520 --> 22:44.060 split few splits regional story, but they've really like proved themselves this regional, 22:44.060 --> 22:49.660 I think anyway, I mean, they stomped fought in the ground. So that's all they have to 22:49.660 --> 22:50.660 do to prove it now. 22:50.660 --> 22:56.380 Yeah, that's true. That's true. All right, let's get right into it. World is do you 22:56.380 --> 23:01.700 know or do you don't know? Who is number one in North America? You said you had a 23:01.700 --> 23:04.340 shop at one, but do you need to see it again? 23:05.780 --> 23:11.260 I'm Mr. T-Bates on this one. I need to see it again. Oh, they didn't give us no 23:11.260 --> 23:14.820 information on that play style. We already expected that coming through. 23:15.060 --> 23:19.460 We'd ask them, they'd be like, you know, we can't really go into depth in 23:19.460 --> 23:24.180 that area of topic. So I already expected that coming out. Top five 23:24.180 --> 23:30.220 They did play foot in the grand files. I want to see him against top for comp. They did play space station 23:31.860 --> 23:36.940 But wait, hold on. Yeah, yeah, they play space. Okay. Okay. Okay. I might be misremembering 23:37.020 --> 23:42.460 But and then on top of that, I just I just need to play I need them to play energy really like that 23:42.460 --> 23:48.100 That's simply it and I need energy to be on that. That's it. That's so we're not one then small task 23:48.100 --> 23:53.860 that's it. If you need them to play in our G to take number one, I mean, 23:57.860 --> 24:00.820 there's a reason why the number one's up for grabs. 24:02.060 --> 24:04.380 How about that one? You're not going to give them one. 24:04.380 --> 24:10.180 You're going to get that clear one, but I just can't because if they if 24:10.180 --> 24:14.700 they're going into a land event, I'm still favorite NRG to be successful. 24:14.700 --> 24:19.580 I agree, but I just can't I can't put energy below them. I don't I don't 24:20.620 --> 24:23.100 I feel it's a comfort pick though to say that 24:23.820 --> 24:31.260 What about everyone everyone because energy right they're consistent, but we've seen them this regional, you know 24:32.140 --> 24:33.820 Not making it to grand's, you know 24:33.820 --> 24:37.580 It was like what the first time in a split where they haven't won two regionals 24:38.220 --> 24:41.180 Or something like that. It's a bit. Oh, that's new 24:41.180 --> 24:47.740 I feel like it's a comfort pick to say that you'd always back energy along to do good and not another team 24:51.380 --> 24:57.080 It's a comfort pick cuz it's one of the greatest teams of all time 24:58.700 --> 25:06.100 You're bringing up a stat that they didn't win two great. No, they didn't make two grip. I was in a row in two years 25:06.100 --> 25:12.060 Top four top four right am I crazy 25:15.580 --> 25:18.800 So the only reason they don't make it a grand final is 25:19.380 --> 25:24.480 One series which I believe in both what didn't they lose the eventual tournament winner? No, they lost the foot, right? 25:28.780 --> 25:33.540 In the finals I think I think it's pretty valid for it to be a comfort big 25:33.540 --> 25:38.620 No, that's fine. I'm just saying it's a comfort pick. That's why that's the only thing I was putting out there 25:38.620 --> 25:43.020 Okay, then who do you put it? Yeah, who do you say you do? Who do you put it? Well? I mean, I 25:43.560 --> 25:45.060 Don't know if this is too obvious 25:45.060 --> 25:51.660 But whoever's number one seed has to be the best right and so you know you've got Shopify and space space station tied 25:52.160 --> 25:53.660 for points 25:53.660 --> 25:59.220 In this split in this whole other regional playmate. What if it's a next one? 25:59.220 --> 26:00.380 And how to have a point for that? 26:00.380 --> 26:01.720 Let's go there. 26:01.720 --> 26:07.580 Well, I think if they win, it depends on who makes. 26:07.580 --> 26:10.080 Let's let's if you when you get 18 points, if you're fine, 26:10.080 --> 26:11.280 it's going to be a tie. 26:11.280 --> 26:13.280 What's two? What's for second place? 26:15.020 --> 26:17.580 Twelve. Well, OK, so the six point difference. 26:17.580 --> 26:18.880 Yes, it would be a tie between. 26:18.880 --> 26:21.720 Let's say they play a station and we're trying to find the grand final. 26:21.720 --> 26:23.280 They would tie and then the tie breakers. 26:23.280 --> 26:26.520 What? Oh, I don't know. 26:26.780 --> 26:28.220 Can't be head to head. 26:28.220 --> 26:32.740 If we know I'm the message, D right? 26:34.220 --> 26:38.500 So if we win next regional, they have to be number one by default. 26:38.500 --> 26:41.660 Even if the tiebreaker doesn't necessarily give it to them, right? 26:41.660 --> 26:43.740 Because they tied in points at that point, right? 26:45.260 --> 26:46.180 I'm giving it to them. 26:46.180 --> 26:47.940 I don't care. 26:47.940 --> 26:50.700 They're going to be number one if they win next week. 26:50.700 --> 26:52.860 You can't tell me they not. 26:52.860 --> 26:56.220 I agree. I think what if they what if they come out, they be shot by next week? 26:56.220 --> 26:59.460 It's not comforting no more hundred ease 27:00.540 --> 27:02.860 Well, why are you making this like it's not? 27:05.460 --> 27:07.460 Because I'm not wrong everyone goes out 27:07.740 --> 27:13.420 For any teams go to land everyone's go on energy is gonna do the best which granted they usually do 27:13.740 --> 27:17.260 But based off of the last split, you know energy 27:17.860 --> 27:26.120 Not winning that as they usually do which is expected. Mm-hmm. I feel like the I feel like it switched up a little bit 27:26.220 --> 27:33.740 It's fair. I'm I'm I'm cause for conversation. Okay. Right. I think that I think that that's 27:33.740 --> 27:39.500 very that's a kind of valid point and a conversation. The narrative, I should say, 27:39.500 --> 27:44.220 could change on a week to week basis. It really depends on how the last open looks. 27:44.220 --> 27:48.060 Right now it's a it's a pretty open race. I like it. I like it. Now, 27:48.060 --> 27:51.180 one thing I don't like is something that happened last week. 27:51.180 --> 27:55.500 Let's let's just roll the clip. Can we just roll the clip? 27:57.340 --> 28:03.980 That's a that's a that's a that's a B tier team. I gotta see it. Why is it foot at B? Move foot to C 28:05.340 --> 28:10.740 F should be C. Let's see. I says G B. There you go. Put him right there. That's a G P. That's a G B. I like him right there 28:15.180 --> 28:17.180 Now hold on a minute 28:18.380 --> 28:20.380 He's ready. I'm holding 28:21.940 --> 28:22.940 FTSE tier. 28:23.940 --> 28:25.380 The basis for that. 28:25.700 --> 28:27.300 Let's start with the basis. 28:27.460 --> 28:29.300 I need the context of that tier list. 28:29.300 --> 28:33.420 That looked like an international tier list of what? 28:33.740 --> 28:37.340 OK, that was that was who do you think is good on an international scale? 28:37.340 --> 28:39.020 What was that tier list? 28:39.020 --> 28:40.980 I feel I feel like that was it. 28:40.980 --> 28:44.820 Now, keep in mind, we always make this mistake wrong. 28:44.820 --> 28:48.660 We never actually we always need to provide full context with these things, 28:48.660 --> 28:49.780 especially when they say something. 28:49.780 --> 28:55.640 And we need to provide full context and sometimes we get lost in the sauce and then we make 28:55.640 --> 28:56.640 the mistake. 28:56.640 --> 28:58.240 But we're all corrected from wrong. 28:58.240 --> 29:04.480 I feel like this is a tier list that has to do with the skill level of teams on an international 29:04.480 --> 29:05.480 level. 29:05.480 --> 29:06.480 Okay. 29:06.480 --> 29:07.480 Yeah. 29:07.480 --> 29:08.480 Pretty much. 29:08.480 --> 29:09.480 Okay. 29:09.480 --> 29:14.480 If that's correct, I think C tier, believe it or not, is bang on the money. 29:14.480 --> 29:15.480 Oh my God. 29:15.480 --> 29:16.480 Why? 29:16.480 --> 29:18.480 Why do I think that? 29:18.480 --> 29:26.240 C tier bang on the money because for the very specific reason you look at who else was in C tier Jen 29:27.280 --> 29:29.280 Gen G dignitas power 29:29.920 --> 29:31.600 And then they put foot in there, right? 29:31.600 --> 29:38.480 So it's like those are all teams with maybe a puncher's chance in an international group stage to make a top eight, right? 29:38.960 --> 29:43.200 You're not going to really feel super good about them making it but on the right day 29:43.520 --> 29:45.760 They can make a top eight. Are they going to win? 29:46.400 --> 29:47.440 no 29:47.440 --> 29:49.840 Are they going to make it a fight for anybody? 29:50.040 --> 29:51.640 Absolutely. 29:51.840 --> 29:54.120 But what have they done since they made the switch? 29:54.320 --> 29:56.320 They had Sosa and Frosty. 29:56.520 --> 29:58.160 They get cut after Boston Major. 29:58.360 --> 30:00.160 They pick up Chronic and Justin. 30:00.360 --> 30:03.360 What do they do? They smash people's face 30:03.560 --> 30:08.640 three oh through the Swiss stage in the first in the Boston Major or in the 30:08.840 --> 30:12.480 Paris Major open one and then two oh through the groups and then they 30:12.680 --> 30:15.760 four oh strictly business and then they lose to space station who went on to 30:15.760 --> 30:20.400 win the tournament. They come into open five. Okay, you got to see it. Fine. Well, boy, did 30:20.400 --> 30:27.880 you 3-0 in the Swiss stage, 3-2 next to new, 3-0, LOB, 4-2 vs. Rebellion in the upper playoffs, 30:27.880 --> 30:32.800 4-1 vs. NRG, and then you lose to Shopify Rebellion in the grand final. Congratulations, 30:32.800 --> 30:39.520 foot. You showed you got the chops to beat North America in a region. Do I care if 30:39.520 --> 30:44.720 you make it to an international final? Absolutely not. Those guys are good in North 30:44.720 --> 30:52.240 America are they really gonna be Mina one Mina two EU two EU one NRG on land no 30:52.240 --> 30:58.400 chance bro no chance C tier bang on maybe give them B tier if you like them 30:58.400 --> 31:03.280 which to be fair I do but C tier felt pretty good for last week you had to 31:03.280 --> 31:07.680 see it again well you got it now your only test is how high do you want to 31:07.680 --> 31:18.080 push them up. Hey, hey, that man burning over there. Hey, hey, cheese on fire right now, 31:18.080 --> 31:23.080 boy. I don't hear his opinion, though. He's kind of on the money with it, especially if 31:23.080 --> 31:27.760 you're going to put thought in comparison to an international setting, even though thoughts 31:27.760 --> 31:31.400 obviously done really well as regional. If you like, like what you said, if you put 31:31.400 --> 31:36.120 them up against EU second seed or EU first seed, the similar way you put up against 31:36.120 --> 31:40.380 any first seed, they're not gonna, they're gonna get stoned just as hard. 31:41.680 --> 31:46.920 I mean, they're good players, no doubt, like Justin's World Champion. 31:47.080 --> 31:49.420 Cheese is, you know, one of the regionals here. 31:49.420 --> 31:51.480 They're put on some decent shows on land. 31:51.920 --> 31:55.120 Chronix, one major is Chronix, one major bro. 31:56.080 --> 32:00.120 I think how much good rocket league can you squeeze from the vine? 32:00.120 --> 32:01.580 Right? Like. 32:01.580 --> 32:16.140 Oh, no, I don't think they're going. I think they're starting off. I think they're getting 32:16.140 --> 32:22.780 it going. You can walk all along like those. The roster swaps great novelty effect. Love 32:22.780 --> 32:28.780 it. Clearly you found something that works, but you have to prove you can stay on top. 32:28.780 --> 32:35.580 Right hard. Look at energy it took two years for them to have people even think that maybe they're not number one 32:35.700 --> 32:43.500 That's dedication. That's the three best players in North America working hard man. I like that part is 32:44.700 --> 32:52.260 That really in the cards for foot. Are they good? Yes. Can they really ratchet it up and keep going? 32:52.260 --> 32:54.760 I don't know man. I don't know. Oh 32:54.760 --> 33:01.760 Oh, what's the peak? Where did the cap international land they make pairs where they stop? 33:01.760 --> 33:05.760 I think they get bounced out by anyone they play top eight. 33:05.760 --> 33:09.760 Hmm. Anyone? Anyone? 33:09.760 --> 33:12.760 There's a thing they beat in top eight. 33:12.760 --> 33:15.760 I'm trying to think who would make top eight in the first place. 33:15.760 --> 33:17.760 Seeing the split so far. 33:17.760 --> 33:19.760 Me to one, me to two. 33:19.760 --> 33:21.760 Yeah, probably. 33:21.760 --> 33:23.760 Energy. Energy will make it. 33:23.760 --> 33:25.760 I 33:29.200 --> 33:34.660 Thought on a good day like the way they bet on our energy that we can if they play like that 33:34.660 --> 33:38.720 I think they have the potential to push a top six on an international one. I 33:40.080 --> 33:42.600 Think they could get that a little bit further than topic 33:47.400 --> 33:52.920 The limit plows ready no they have an upper and then they have like a longer lower in pairs 33:53.760 --> 33:58.200 Oh, okay. Yeah. So three teams get out of groups. Yeah. 33:58.200 --> 34:04.240 Three teams get out of groups in Paris. Okay. So on a good day, maybe top six, maybe you 34:04.240 --> 34:09.520 start to lose me pretty quick though. I mean, you lose me when you say top six anyways, 34:09.520 --> 34:13.640 because who remembers top six? That's the thing. 34:13.640 --> 34:14.640 That's crazy. 34:14.640 --> 34:22.960 Even if they made top six, we don't talk about it. It's like, who cares? 34:22.960 --> 34:28.420 That's crazy. I mean they were having a crazy upset, but even in this like 34:29.080 --> 34:35.160 Look, take last year twisted minds. They upset Kami corp made it pretty far, but that was that's it 34:35.220 --> 34:39.920 I'm gonna forget about that in a year or two. I might forget about it in six months 34:39.920 --> 34:44.620 The power how this twist of mine does our course pick for the Boston major and they got bounced out 34:44.920 --> 34:50.960 One two, that's the new team shocked brother. I'm talking about the old team. What a topic with a K. Oh, no 34:50.960 --> 34:52.760 Oh, right? 34:52.760 --> 34:53.260 Who's in it? 34:53.260 --> 34:57.260 Hey, oh my God. 34:57.260 --> 35:02.260 So I mean, but, you know, OK, but that being said, B tier, C tier, 35:02.260 --> 35:04.660 we did a poll and an Iraqi twist chat. 35:04.660 --> 35:09.560 I think B tier one that pulled by a hefty margin with only like one person 35:09.560 --> 35:12.460 putting the ass and one person putting D. So I think we're kind of 35:12.460 --> 35:15.360 C, B tier singular polarized levels. 35:15.360 --> 35:19.060 And it's not to say that we're not fans of the team. 35:19.060 --> 35:20.860 I think if they do any other performance, 35:20.860 --> 35:23.740 You're very happy for them. You're like, wow, I didn't think they could do this. They did it 35:24.480 --> 35:30.820 But I think that that opens up, you know, we're talking about that international placement that opens up another conversation 35:31.660 --> 35:34.500 After rebellion one last weekend in an open five 35:34.540 --> 35:39.300 There was an interview with LJ and he had a very interesting answer 35:39.540 --> 35:42.160 I want us all to listen to here. Can we roll the clip? 35:44.020 --> 35:50.640 Well, I wanted to ask you I you obviously got a glimpse of what the rest of North America is looks like this weekend 35:50.640 --> 35:55.120 more in particular, not just foot but NRG's performance. 35:55.120 --> 35:57.580 Do you feel like that was just something 35:57.580 --> 36:01.220 that was a little inconsistent or maybe a new play style 36:01.220 --> 36:02.960 that isn't quite working out in comparison 36:02.960 --> 36:04.400 to what teams like you and Foot 36:04.400 --> 36:06.460 are bringing to the table now? 36:06.460 --> 36:08.600 I mean, I think they just had an inconsistent weekend. 36:08.600 --> 36:10.340 I mean, they're the world's chance of the reason. 36:10.340 --> 36:11.500 I think they'll be back. 36:11.500 --> 36:14.140 I mean, I think Ana is like in a really strong region. 36:14.140 --> 36:17.140 I think we're gonna do great against you at the land. 36:20.640 --> 36:28.120 He said, what, you saw my face during that role? 36:28.120 --> 36:32.360 LJ said, I didn't. 36:32.360 --> 36:36.280 I don't clearly this is how you get, I mean, this is, you're getting my early take on this 36:36.280 --> 36:41.960 topic, but do you think NA top four can make an impact internationally? 36:41.960 --> 36:48.120 LJ seems to think so, but I got to ask the panel here. 36:48.120 --> 36:55.640 I mean, maybe like two of them, like NRG, I feel like even though I said they're a comfort 36:55.640 --> 37:04.040 pick, it's true. They do make some, they are already using them in their argument. 37:04.040 --> 37:10.120 No, listen, listen, they, they still make an impact. You can't deny that. However, they've 37:10.120 --> 37:14.520 all like, when it comes to North America going internationally, it's always, it's 37:14.520 --> 37:19.080 always just NRG and those other teams are just trying to hide now with how the other 37:19.080 --> 37:26.600 these teams are coming through like shop thought and SSG I maybe know all of them but I do think 37:26.600 --> 37:32.520 maybe one of those teams can extend their performance internationally and kind of follow 37:32.520 --> 37:39.560 all of that behind NRG if not parallel to them. Well I don't hate that but I'm going to ask 37:39.560 --> 37:45.960 one question what does impact mean is that like top four is that impactful is top eight impactful 37:45.960 --> 37:52.280 or is getting bounced out three two in like swiss impactful like where's the line for acceptable 37:53.320 --> 37:59.560 i think the base store what i'm hearing i could be misinterpreting and that's fine but i think 37:59.560 --> 38:05.320 he's expecting na to have more teams in the top eighth in europe yeah i think that's what it means 38:05.320 --> 38:10.680 anyway because like how many times have we seen North America and only one teams made it to top it 38:11.720 --> 38:15.080 or like they made it to top it but they haven't got it they haven't got it past 38:15.080 --> 38:21.400 top eight yeah that's why everybody argues about two is like if whoever's region has more teams in 38:21.400 --> 38:25.240 the top eight that that's the region that's the best like that's why everybody argues so 38:25.240 --> 38:30.600 even boston as well boston all five european teams came out to the playoffs and there was only 38:30.600 --> 38:39.960 only two. Two and a shop and energy. Yeah. I said he was in a group of death. And then 38:39.960 --> 38:47.640 but they also play that and then various when I as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of hype 38:47.640 --> 38:52.520 around them to absolutely around them as well. So there's your expectations for in a three 38:52.520 --> 38:57.800 and four, you know, that's it. Can in a top four make an impact currently? Absolutely 38:57.800 --> 39:03.300 So if you roll the dice and pull up another two teams that aren't NRG and Shopify, are they going to do anything? 39:03.300 --> 39:05.300 My money's on milk. 39:05.300 --> 39:09.800 Hey, listen, but I low key I low key do have expectations for SSG though. 39:09.800 --> 39:17.300 I just I low key do like I just think with that coming back, I think that they're actually going to click 39:17.300 --> 39:20.800 especially at land. They all have land experience at this point. 39:20.800 --> 39:27.300 I genuinely believe they're going to go into this land and actually take it to some of these teams that maybe they were a little bit 39:27.300 --> 39:33.340 a little bit nervous or the pressure of being at a land for the first time gets to you so 39:33.340 --> 39:36.900 I think they're going to be a lot more comfortable going into it. 39:36.900 --> 39:37.900 I think there's three. 39:37.900 --> 39:38.900 I think there could be three N-18s. 39:38.900 --> 39:39.900 Hey listen. 39:39.900 --> 39:47.900 Hey, well listen, we just said we might, Foot's Peak is the top of your Foot Peak. 39:47.900 --> 39:52.900 Yeah, and Foot's Peak is the top of your foot. 39:52.900 --> 39:53.900 That's all. 39:53.900 --> 39:56.980 If I pick, I mean, let's say it's going to be great. 39:57.940 --> 40:00.280 I got four teams. 40:00.280 --> 40:01.620 Oh, wow. 40:01.620 --> 40:02.280 That'd be cinema. 40:02.280 --> 40:04.920 The day that happens, all four NA teams make it the top eight, man. 40:04.920 --> 40:06.780 The talks would be crazy. 40:06.780 --> 40:08.260 Any best region. 40:08.260 --> 40:09.620 Each of you might see me. 40:09.620 --> 40:11.960 You might see me cry on the Paris floor. 40:11.960 --> 40:12.660 OK. 40:12.660 --> 40:16.920 And then break it down in tears, flag wrapped around my body. 40:17.660 --> 40:18.960 Oh, my goodness. 40:18.960 --> 40:20.560 But yeah, no, I don't think it's happening. 40:20.560 --> 40:22.440 I think we might get I think we'll probably get to. 40:22.900 --> 40:26.500 Well, it's very much a proof it depends on the groups in the bracket. 40:26.500 --> 40:28.540 The groups in the bracket can make a possible, to be honest, 40:29.260 --> 40:32.540 because with the three teams getting out, depends on those matchups 40:33.300 --> 40:38.060 and those low rounds, maybe, but yeah, I got to I got to. 40:39.140 --> 40:43.020 Two fields, respectable, acceptable even and anything less than that. 40:43.020 --> 40:45.380 We're also used to, so right. 40:47.100 --> 40:51.340 We're restarting your energy again, as far as they can fighting. 40:51.340 --> 41:01.700 I mean, listen, shot did good, but then they they ended up losing the Falcons in Boston. 41:01.700 --> 41:07.060 It was not a bad showing, but they might not have to worry about that problem based on how 41:07.060 --> 41:09.340 things have been going in Mina. 41:09.340 --> 41:11.660 Let's go over to the Middle East. 41:11.660 --> 41:19.820 Mina has been chaotic as twisted minds has sweep the rate in the open five final achieves. 41:19.820 --> 41:21.300 I mean, how do you feel about Mina? 41:21.300 --> 41:23.420 Twisted Mines the best team they got right now? 41:23.420 --> 41:26.300 You know, I think that all you're seeing here 41:26.300 --> 41:30.340 is that first, you know, shake up in parody for Mina. 41:30.340 --> 41:32.780 There was a very brief stint, right? 41:32.780 --> 41:34.780 Where Falcons just could not be beat 41:34.780 --> 41:36.780 by anybody else in their region. 41:36.780 --> 41:39.740 And this is finally showing that after a little bit of time, 41:39.740 --> 41:43.060 Mina has really developed strong contenders, 41:43.060 --> 41:45.740 like, you know, throughout the top four, I'll say. 41:45.740 --> 41:47.460 So is Falcons winning everything? 41:47.460 --> 41:48.300 No. 41:48.300 --> 41:49.900 Is that necessarily an indicator 41:49.900 --> 41:51.140 that they're not the best? 41:51.140 --> 41:52.860 I'm still not certain of that. 41:52.860 --> 41:55.900 I know Twisted Mind is looking good and I love to see that, 41:55.900 --> 42:00.400 but at the same time, I still give credit to the Falcons 42:00.400 --> 42:03.620 in making top fours in both, just like NRG. 42:03.620 --> 42:05.900 It's tough to unseat the team that's been at the top 42:05.900 --> 42:07.340 of the region for so long, 42:07.340 --> 42:10.000 just because it's a small downturn. 42:12.500 --> 42:17.500 Hey man, listen to us, listen to cheese. 42:17.500 --> 42:25.260 I sat here and I watched multiple series, the hype ones, the ones that mattered when it comes 42:25.260 --> 42:31.620 to having conversations of first touch in mean of this, the past couple of opens they played. 42:31.620 --> 42:36.500 I've seen Falcons get smacked twice by this rate team. 42:36.500 --> 42:41.020 And then I've seen this rate team also beat twisted minds. 42:41.020 --> 42:46.860 Going into this, I thought rate was the best team in the region because they have consistently 42:46.860 --> 42:49.360 beaten the top two. 42:49.360 --> 42:51.940 And then I realized that there's somebody in this region 42:51.940 --> 42:53.540 that is a two-time world champion. 42:53.540 --> 42:57.980 And when he's on, you can't pass the ball by him, 42:57.980 --> 43:00.440 and he just dominates the midfield 43:00.440 --> 43:02.380 and makes it feel like you're just never 43:02.380 --> 43:03.880 getting a touch on the ball. 43:03.880 --> 43:05.540 And that's Monkey Moon. 43:05.540 --> 43:06.380 He's pretty good. 43:06.380 --> 43:09.020 And I will never doubt that guy again. 43:09.020 --> 43:12.120 To a certain mind, it depends even that region. 43:12.120 --> 43:19.160 If you saw any inkling of what I watched during that grand finals, 43:19.160 --> 43:20.680 Ray Esports could not touch the ball. 43:20.680 --> 43:23.920 They couldn't get it past the midfield line. 43:23.920 --> 43:25.440 They couldn't get it past it. 43:25.440 --> 43:26.880 Monkey Moon was not allowing it. 43:26.880 --> 43:28.960 Monkey Moon playing like that, he's 43:28.960 --> 43:32.000 going to go into this major. 43:32.000 --> 43:33.280 He's going to obliterate teams. 43:33.280 --> 43:36.840 If he plays like that, nobody can get the ball by him. 43:36.840 --> 43:38.400 It was peak Monkey Moon. 43:38.400 --> 43:40.200 It was peak Monkey Moon. 43:40.200 --> 43:44.760 I feel like I went out of back in the past. This guy was everywhere. 43:45.480 --> 43:48.360 I never doubt him again. The twist of mine is the best team in the region. 43:48.560 --> 43:49.640 I'm sorry. The same question. 43:49.640 --> 43:54.000 What if you get Falcons versus Swiss mines in the final regional and Falcons win? 43:54.840 --> 43:56.840 That monkey moon was injured or something. 44:00.440 --> 44:02.600 No one's beating that monkey. 44:02.600 --> 44:05.480 But I'm sorry. Like no one is beating him. He was peaking. 44:06.080 --> 44:08.440 That was prime monkey. 44:08.440 --> 44:15.440 I watched that Grand Finals as well, and it was insane how well Monkeman was playing. 44:15.440 --> 44:22.560 It was literally a 1v3, but I feel like even without the Monkeman glaze in that team, there's 44:22.560 --> 44:24.320 still a really good team. 44:24.320 --> 44:29.720 The way they got there to begin with, they swept Falcons for top 4, they beat DOS in 44:29.720 --> 44:34.080 the semi-finals, and then swept R8 right after, obviously with the help of Monkeman 44:34.080 --> 44:37.080 just being the best player in the entire world. 44:37.080 --> 44:44.400 I think Twisted Minds is definitely going to be the one of the top ones in Mina. 44:44.400 --> 44:49.880 I think RA is close because they're the only ones that seem to be dominating over Falcons 44:49.880 --> 44:51.600 the most this split. 44:51.600 --> 45:00.320 They went to game five of Falcons to make the finals, but they bet them multiple times 45:00.320 --> 45:01.320 now. 45:01.320 --> 45:05.200 It's been close though, I mean Falcons could have bounced them out, I mean they lost 45:05.200 --> 45:08.320 game six and seven and the most recent one to all right. 45:08.320 --> 45:12.240 So they went to game seven against Stallions as well before that. 45:12.680 --> 45:13.000 What's up? 45:13.000 --> 45:15.600 One can it was close. 45:15.640 --> 45:18.520 That series I watched it was very close. 45:18.520 --> 45:22.640 Stallions looked so solid, but Falcons just were able to pull it back at the end. 45:23.200 --> 45:23.880 I guess so. 45:23.880 --> 45:26.960 So what's that tell you Falcons built one heck of a region? 45:26.960 --> 45:29.280 I think that's what that tells you. 45:29.280 --> 45:33.000 They were so good that everybody else had to get that good real quick to 45:33.000 --> 45:38.820 figure it out. And good. They guy. Let's take a look at the mean open five bracket here. 45:38.820 --> 45:43.840 Falcons loss and top four of me to open five. Michael, what does this mean for the Falcons? 45:43.840 --> 45:48.880 Now they are behind in the points standings after taking a loss in seven games to rate 45:48.880 --> 45:53.880 e-sports. Is it rate or is it RA? I feel I always get this one confused. Let me know 45:53.880 --> 45:59.720 in the comments that being said, um, yeah, this is not the point standing is not good 45:59.720 --> 46:02.440 for Falcons right now and on the road to Paris. 46:02.720 --> 46:05.040 There's a chance that they could miss out. 46:05.040 --> 46:08.040 I believe they're sitting at 16 points. 46:09.980 --> 46:14.620 Ray has 30 twisted minds as 26 and stallions is ahead of them by 18. 46:14.620 --> 46:17.940 We don't have the official scenario yet, but it's not looking good. 46:17.940 --> 46:22.640 Michael. Yeah, it's definitely a tough draw here for the final one. 46:22.640 --> 46:24.320 You need to have a good performance. 46:24.320 --> 46:27.820 Obviously, you are correctly are at 16 points and are it with 30 46:27.820 --> 46:29.340 and Twisted Minds with 26. 46:29.340 --> 46:31.780 It's definitely a big uphill battle. 46:31.780 --> 46:34.020 You definitely need, I think, at least a little bit of help 46:34.020 --> 46:36.020 because you only have two slots, right? 46:36.020 --> 46:38.260 That's what makes it really brutal. 46:38.260 --> 46:41.540 So what does that tell you? 46:41.540 --> 46:43.100 It tells you that they're a team 46:43.100 --> 46:45.660 battling the demons right now, Brother Man. 46:45.660 --> 46:46.940 They've got some work to do, 46:46.940 --> 46:49.140 but if any team's shown that they're up to the task, 46:49.140 --> 46:50.900 they've done it before, and I have no doubt 46:50.900 --> 46:53.100 they're gonna go ahead and give it their best go 46:53.100 --> 46:54.060 in regional three. 46:54.060 --> 46:55.100 Of that, I'm sure. 46:55.100 --> 47:02.540 I was going to say is it not like we're going to talk about the scenario because I thought 47:02.540 --> 47:06.820 I knew the scenario already but if you're going to say it's not go for it. 47:06.820 --> 47:12.700 Oh, I'm pretty sure that for Falcons to at least take one spot for Mina they have to 47:12.700 --> 47:18.020 they have to win, obviously, but they also need twisted mines to go out top. 47:18.020 --> 47:21.300 They can't let twisted mines make it to finals and I don't know about you guys but I 47:21.300 --> 47:25.500 I don't think twisted minds are going to miss that ground finals. 47:25.700 --> 47:28.140 I mean, it depends on how the bracket shakes out, right? 47:28.340 --> 47:30.820 Because you achieve it's monkey moon. 47:31.020 --> 47:33.060 But if you have like what if you have twist? 47:33.260 --> 47:34.620 You didn't watch the universe. 47:34.820 --> 47:37.100 You didn't watch the series. 47:37.300 --> 47:38.700 Great. I didn't see that one. 47:38.700 --> 47:40.300 I wanted to see what Falcons was doing. 47:40.300 --> 47:41.220 It was about Falcons. 47:41.220 --> 47:42.180 I was watching their games. 47:42.380 --> 47:43.700 What can I say? 47:43.900 --> 47:47.020 But I mean, I think they're out at this point. 47:47.020 --> 47:48.180 What are you talking about? 47:48.180 --> 47:51.100 They were like the segment was about Falcons. 47:51.100 --> 47:58.420 I watch. But if you want to see like, uh, like it depends on the bracket works out, right? 47:58.420 --> 48:02.660 Because there is a very real possibility that some top eight shenanigans happens and you 48:02.660 --> 48:09.160 wind up with like a R eight versus twisted minds in a top eight or a semi-final and things 48:09.160 --> 48:11.820 just work out perfectly with the Valgans. You never know. 48:11.820 --> 48:17.580 How does all this all this copium? You do need help. Absolutely. You need help. 48:17.580 --> 48:24.340 Yeah. You need help and you need to help in a region that doesn't feel like giving you 48:24.340 --> 48:26.900 help. They're not very generous. That's for sure. 48:26.900 --> 48:33.300 Right. That'll lead us to our next topic. Does Mina have five major contending teams? 48:33.300 --> 48:38.060 It seems like, especially in that bracket, you look, you obviously RA, you see twisted 48:38.060 --> 48:42.420 minds, you see stallions, Falcons. There's a team called DOS that looks like they've 48:42.420 --> 48:47.600 been looking pretty good here as well. Uh, I mean, where, how, where do we see it? 48:47.600 --> 48:51.920 Kofir answered the question earlier, said he sees Mina having three teams. I want to 48:51.920 --> 48:55.200 know what the panel thinks. Jordy's, I'm putting you up first. 48:56.720 --> 48:59.400 I have to agree with Kofir. I don't think there's five, five's too much. 48:59.440 --> 49:03.720 I mean, Mina's being a one team region for God knows how long and then 49:03.720 --> 49:07.400 twisted mind comes in, they run Falcons for their money a little bit. 49:07.400 --> 49:11.920 They have their changes. Not twisted minds arguably are sitting higher than 49:11.920 --> 49:17.900 Falcons and then you have all right come in they're messing up Falcons run to you could maybe say stallions also 49:17.900 --> 49:25.260 But if you put them on a major I wouldn't see any team other than Falcons and twisted minds getting further 49:25.260 --> 49:27.260 There 49:37.100 --> 49:42.400 You want to say rate would pop off on land what did everyone think Virtus Pro was gonna do on land 49:42.400 --> 49:45.400 There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go. 49:45.400 --> 49:47.400 It doesn't matter though, it doesn't matter though. 49:47.400 --> 49:48.400 They're looking. 49:48.400 --> 49:49.400 They're looking. 49:49.400 --> 49:50.400 Oh my god. 49:50.400 --> 49:52.400 You have no idea what you're going to get until you get them there. 49:52.400 --> 49:56.400 They're going to do until they were on rule one and get top fours. 49:56.400 --> 49:57.400 That's dangerous. 49:57.400 --> 49:58.400 That's dangerous. 49:58.400 --> 50:00.400 But that's the point. 50:00.400 --> 50:01.400 They're from Mina. 50:01.400 --> 50:04.400 This region breeds competency when it comes to land. 50:04.400 --> 50:05.400 I love that. 50:05.400 --> 50:09.400 They go into land and it means something to them. 50:09.400 --> 50:11.400 I don't know what it is but they just want it more. 50:11.400 --> 50:14.400 one and more. They go to the 50:14.400 --> 50:16.400 lands and this rate team, I'm 50:16.400 --> 50:18.400 telling you Abdullah is about 50:18.400 --> 50:20.400 the ball on some people. Yeah, 50:20.400 --> 50:22.400 hey, hey, when we get to land 50:22.400 --> 50:24.400 and you say and you see our 50:24.400 --> 50:26.400 eastwards up there, just 50:26.400 --> 50:28.400 watch out for the name Abdullah. 50:28.400 --> 50:29.400 He's about the ball on people. 50:29.400 --> 50:30.400 Abdullah, bro. 50:30.400 --> 50:32.400 I'm telling you. 50:32.400 --> 50:34.400 The teams that have to come up 50:34.400 --> 50:36.400 against you're saying the RA 50:36.400 --> 50:38.400 are going to come up against 50:38.400 --> 50:40.400 Vitality or Casey and beat 50:40.400 --> 50:49.900 I was okay. I didn't know that I am because they're worth the glaze, but you brought up 50:49.900 --> 50:56.900 two top three teams to top 14 in the world. Okay, let's let's go through a top eight scenario. 50:56.900 --> 51:06.500 Let's say we get Vitality, NRG, Shopify rebellion, Falcons, Twisted Minds, R8 is already six teams. 51:06.500 --> 51:09.300 So who are the two teams that they could reasonably because I don't think you're 51:09.300 --> 51:15.020 going to pick our eight over any of those six. I mean, I think our eight could beat Shopify. 51:15.020 --> 51:17.860 I think our eight could be. 51:21.860 --> 51:24.660 He's checking the list. There's no next. I got it. I got it. Wait. 51:26.340 --> 51:28.660 Do they fear you? Do they beat fear? Yes, they can be. 51:28.700 --> 51:31.020 They can be fear. They can be fear. They can be. 51:31.060 --> 51:33.020 They can be falcons. They've done it multiple times. 51:33.020 --> 51:35.540 They can be twisted minds. They've done it already. 51:35.580 --> 51:36.420 What about energy? 51:39.300 --> 51:44.300 It always comes back. 51:44.300 --> 51:46.300 It always does. 51:46.300 --> 51:48.300 Let me just take a sip. 51:48.300 --> 51:50.300 I don't know about energy. 51:50.300 --> 51:52.300 I don't know about energy. 51:52.300 --> 51:54.300 Could they be any Europe team? 51:54.300 --> 51:56.300 Oh, for sure. 51:56.300 --> 51:57.300 Oh, for sure. 51:57.300 --> 51:58.300 Europe 2? 51:58.300 --> 52:04.300 Um, I look with the way Carmine, 52:04.300 --> 52:06.300 well, who you consider Europe 2? 52:06.300 --> 52:07.300 Is it Carmine? 52:07.300 --> 52:13.380 Yeah, I guess. I don't know if they can make it this or vitality or gentlemades. I don't 52:13.380 --> 52:19.060 know if they can make it either. Okay, but, okay. Let me, let me present this is a big 52:19.060 --> 52:23.760 point. I want to expand on this point because there actually is a very interesting point 52:23.760 --> 52:29.340 about this twisted minds last Boston major was in a group of death, which considered 52:29.340 --> 52:37.260 team vitality, Karmicorp and SSG, they weren't. Now, if a media team is, if those teams, which 52:37.260 --> 52:41.180 those teams could arguably be in those same seats and potentially be in those same groups 52:41.180 --> 52:47.060 of groups work that way this time, there's a possibility that one of these media teams 52:47.060 --> 52:49.900 does not make it out of groups. Yeah. 52:49.900 --> 52:55.540 No, I think Twisted Mines is better. I think they were, they were, they were. 52:55.540 --> 52:57.620 Yeah, what in the first split? 52:58.140 --> 53:00.380 Yeah, I got a train coming. I think they were 53:01.180 --> 53:06.980 Because they were what one and two in that group stage. Yeah, and then that's only because what because Falcons aren't making grand finals 53:07.540 --> 53:10.180 No, that's because I watched them play 53:11.020 --> 53:13.020 I've seen monkey moon 53:17.100 --> 53:20.620 Like I've seen that monkey movie for any one world championship 53:20.620 --> 53:25.300 So if that guy's gonna show a play like that at the majors, I'm not taking many teams above them 53:25.540 --> 53:28.940 Get a lie, but you only played in like that in the grand finals 53:28.940 --> 53:33.220 So did you play like that in the semis in the upper bracket core finals or you know? 53:33.220 --> 53:35.900 Is this like a one-in-sign a blue moon kind of motion 53:47.020 --> 53:50.740 Group C arguably group of death. All right, we'll give them that it was hard 53:51.060 --> 53:54.620 But if you're gonna say like twist of mind is easy beats all of them 53:55.540 --> 53:59.380 But you have Paris come up in the group settings again. 53:59.380 --> 54:01.540 Well, I mean, it's three out, don't they? 54:01.540 --> 54:06.580 So it's a bit harder to say if it was to get out this time instead of three, 54:06.580 --> 54:09.540 would twist the minds make out the same if they were in the same group? 54:11.460 --> 54:12.340 I would take them over. 54:12.340 --> 54:14.180 Carmine, Carmine's a good system. 54:14.180 --> 54:15.060 Yeah. 54:15.060 --> 54:17.060 And I'd probably take them over space station, too. 54:18.900 --> 54:19.940 If they were in the same group. 54:19.940 --> 54:21.700 Yeah, I would take them over space station. 54:21.700 --> 54:25.380 I would say there's a second team in that group behind Vitality. 54:25.540 --> 54:33.000 the way they're playing it's about twisted right yeah yeah but that's also 54:33.000 --> 54:36.800 assuming that Carmen core doesn't look better and space station kind of it 54:36.800 --> 54:40.800 doesn't look better in this next region too and monkey one doesn't get injured 54:40.800 --> 54:46.680 yeah hi ankle sprayer out for six days 54:46.680 --> 54:51.400 monkey was got over a month until pairs you think you can keep it up for a 54:51.400 --> 54:57.160 month. He's the belt man. You can definitely do that. I cannot wait till next week when 54:57.160 --> 55:02.160 we have that last mean open is going to be great. It is going to be great for sure. Now 55:02.160 --> 55:07.040 we got a lot of teams are going to be qualifying for Mina. The Canterbury Bulldogs might be 55:07.040 --> 55:11.720 one of them qualifying in OCE. Let's shift the topic here a little bit. Let's go. Let's 55:11.720 --> 55:17.720 go to OCE. Can we get the OCE globe? If you noticed OCE globe actually it's upside 55:17.720 --> 55:24.920 down. I lied. I just lied. Here we go. Here's the Paris major open five playoff 55:24.920 --> 55:30.120 bracken OCE. You look at the CB bulldog canabary bulldogs beat power in the 55:30.120 --> 55:35.560 upper swath them then went to top four plate nerve easy work and then play it 55:35.560 --> 55:39.880 wild card in the finals after wild card went seven against power and beat them 55:39.880 --> 55:44.600 in six. What is going on with canabary bulldogs? Can we take a look at the 55:44.600 --> 55:50.600 points. Where's OC currently standing after open five? What do you know it? The Bulldogs 55:50.600 --> 55:56.040 and power are tied for first place and wild card is right behind them achieves a second 55:56.040 --> 56:08.320 or you really want to bet against the OCE goat? Torso's they get one team, bro. That 56:08.320 --> 56:12.880 That guy, that guy, he does not miss lands. 56:12.880 --> 56:16.840 Wild card, I don't know, 24 points, only a two-point gap. 56:16.840 --> 56:18.120 He missed the last land. 56:18.120 --> 56:19.360 Well, I shut up, that's the good one. 56:19.360 --> 56:20.700 Don't do that to me. 56:20.700 --> 56:25.700 No, it's fair, I know the king's reign must end. 56:29.660 --> 56:31.360 But at the same time, I don't know, 56:31.360 --> 56:32.960 it's a tight race, can't have very bold eyes. 56:32.960 --> 56:33.800 You're looking great. 56:33.800 --> 56:34.960 Who is it, Caleb Cocker and Hunter? 56:34.960 --> 56:37.040 Oh yeah, okay, that actually makes sense. 56:37.040 --> 56:39.600 That's just pretty good. 56:39.600 --> 56:40.960 Do they win though again? 56:40.960 --> 56:41.600 I guess they could. 56:41.600 --> 56:42.880 There's no reason they can't. 56:42.880 --> 56:44.120 They're already proven they're at the top. 56:44.120 --> 56:46.400 Why not? 56:46.400 --> 56:47.480 Yeah. 56:47.480 --> 56:48.800 I'll be honest. 56:48.800 --> 56:50.800 I don't want to sit here and lie, 56:50.800 --> 56:53.440 but I don't have I haven't really watched Oceana too much. 56:53.440 --> 56:55.680 It's one of like 6 AM for me, and I'm not up at that time 56:55.680 --> 56:56.960 watching my video. 56:56.960 --> 56:59.640 But all I know is that Power Wealth 56:59.640 --> 57:02.040 are the two top dogs of Oceana. 57:02.040 --> 57:05.440 CB Bulldogs come in. 57:05.440 --> 57:10.200 I mean from what I could see from the bracket alone from how they played these seem pretty solid 57:11.040 --> 57:14.640 Yeah, um, will they take the spot though? I 57:15.920 --> 57:21.980 Don't know I'm picking with the cheese. I think power can I feel like power my lock-in last last second 57:23.200 --> 57:25.200 Snatch it 57:26.960 --> 57:32.280 When you see gust above this we see him again, we ever see him actually that's a great question 57:35.440 --> 57:40.860 all about ever see him, but he has to make this land and maybe even another one. I keep 57:40.860 --> 57:47.220 saying that he has to be of every single land just to ensure that I might be there at one. 57:47.220 --> 57:51.880 So Gus has to win. He just has to. I got power. They got to win. 57:51.880 --> 57:56.200 teammates fiber super lucky. He's definitely got it for sure. And they're leading. They're 57:56.200 --> 58:01.600 leading the split. So I got my faith in Gus, man. 58:01.600 --> 58:04.400 Listen, I big five fiber. 58:04.440 --> 58:05.280 That's my dog. 58:06.280 --> 58:08.160 I'm feeling I'm getting hot. 58:08.200 --> 58:09.680 I think I'm getting a fever. 58:11.720 --> 58:13.240 Yeah, bring back towards us. 58:13.240 --> 58:14.320 Maybe give me a wild card. 58:14.320 --> 58:17.680 Do I feel like wild cards just for the good of the region. 58:17.680 --> 58:18.560 They're the team. 58:18.560 --> 58:21.680 And if there's any team that can go to an international event 58:21.680 --> 58:25.040 and do something wild cards, proving that they can do something. 58:25.440 --> 58:27.080 So I need them to show up and show out. 58:27.080 --> 58:30.040 Everybody else is still getting their land reps in it. 58:30.040 --> 58:35.860 It might take it might take some time before you before power get more comfortable puts the tosses wild card though 58:35.860 --> 58:37.860 They've shown that they can do it 58:38.940 --> 58:40.940 No, new blood 58:42.620 --> 58:48.040 You know what's funny world is last week we asked for some dogs and literally we got some dogs the bulldog 58:48.040 --> 58:50.040 We can't even get behind them. 58:50.040 --> 58:53.040 We can't even get behind the dogs, man. 58:53.040 --> 58:54.040 That's messed up, man. 58:54.040 --> 58:56.040 That is messed up. 58:56.040 --> 58:57.040 Oh, man. 58:57.040 --> 58:58.040 But you know what's messed up? 58:58.040 --> 59:01.040 The fact that EU right now is so crazy. 59:01.040 --> 59:04.040 And our former major champions got two points. 59:04.040 --> 59:06.040 I mean, who's under the most pressure here in Europe? 59:06.040 --> 59:08.040 Let's go around the world. 59:08.040 --> 59:13.040 EU Open 5 starts this weekend. 59:13.040 --> 59:15.040 Here's the current point standings. 59:15.040 --> 59:16.040 Where is, okay. 59:16.040 --> 59:22.940 Okay, gentlemen. So on the other side, right, that's the GK for 2013. Meanwhile, you got 59:22.940 --> 59:31.260 Vitality 18, NIP at 12, Man City at 8, Karmicorp at 8, Synergy at 6. Remember, everybody watching 59:31.260 --> 59:39.180 at home. Top five from Europe, go to the Paris major. Things have to change here at 59:39.180 --> 59:44.020 Europe. But I want to know from the panel who you think is under the most pressure 59:44.020 --> 59:49.380 to perform it is vitality staying consistent or is it on mates and GK to really kind of turn things 59:49.380 --> 59:56.420 around here? It's got to be mates and GK two and one points it has to be because you know if you 59:56.420 --> 01:00:01.620 have a bad tournament again you're done it doesn't matter what happens in the next one the gap may 01:00:01.620 --> 01:00:10.580 indeed be too wide if you're one and two and you get bounced out in groups. Yeah I agree it's 01:00:10.580 --> 01:00:16.420 I feel like Vitality, you know, they've won their regional, you know, Zen's probably happy about that, 01:00:16.420 --> 01:00:23.620 because he hasn't actually won a regional in a good minute now, right? I think I saw a statistic 01:00:23.620 --> 01:00:29.620 about how like the last time you won a regional was with Radosin and Alpha, which was a while ago, 01:00:29.620 --> 01:00:34.580 but I think there's probably less pressure on them. And like what you said, there's probably 01:00:34.580 --> 01:00:41.860 more pressure on general mates and GK because, you know, we've got such little points and with how 01:00:41.860 --> 01:00:47.780 the bright especially open for and the groups forward this weekend. There's so many different 01:00:47.780 --> 01:00:52.500 opportunities for anyone to make top it. I think that's what makes it even more stressful. 01:00:53.060 --> 01:00:57.140 The groups are kind of, the groups are definitely interesting. I don't, I don't think we have 01:00:57.140 --> 01:01:02.500 an image that we can put up right now, but like for group A, you got that upper bracket, 01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:07.460 gentlemen's and synergy a first round and getting goods in GK. So winner of those two will meet up. 01:01:09.300 --> 01:01:16.580 Then you have like, I think WIP and PCS strike, KDOP Corp and Magnifico to be the bottom half of 01:01:16.580 --> 01:01:22.420 group A. That's a good topic for KDOP Corp. They go to the other side and the other side is 01:01:22.420 --> 01:01:26.260 pretty simple. I think like it's main city, probably main city, KDOP Corp meeting in the 01:01:26.260 --> 01:01:31.140 upper bracket semis and the Vitality NIP meeting in the other upper bracket semis pending 01:01:31.140 --> 01:01:38.100 potential disaster. You know, sometimes there's a lot of upsets in EU. I believe the team 01:01:38.100 --> 01:01:48.580 Toad in the Hole was inner circle roster. They are releasing. Yeah, the English people 01:01:48.580 --> 01:01:52.380 would come up with a name like Toad in the Hole. It's a great name. It's great dinner 01:01:52.380 --> 01:01:54.380 actually 01:02:02.020 --> 01:02:04.020 You guys don't know what the whole is 01:02:04.780 --> 01:02:14.240 It's not to it. Don't worry, and there's no hole, but it is it's like it's like a pot like a pastry pie with sausages in it 01:02:15.980 --> 01:02:17.980 Why is it going to hold? 01:02:22.380 --> 01:02:31.860 Just know it's buying in the gravy in that, you know, I put a picture in a picture in the 01:02:31.860 --> 01:02:32.860 live chat. 01:02:32.860 --> 01:02:33.860 What is that? 01:02:33.860 --> 01:02:34.860 It's good. 01:02:34.860 --> 01:02:35.860 It's good. 01:02:35.860 --> 01:02:40.380 It's mashed potato sausages in a pie pastry pie. 01:02:40.380 --> 01:02:46.100 Speaking of my tone the whole, they probably ain't going to get that top six. 01:02:46.100 --> 01:02:48.060 Group B looks so normal. 01:02:48.060 --> 01:02:49.060 Group B looks normal. 01:02:49.060 --> 01:02:51.740 And then group A, this is what happened last open. 01:02:51.740 --> 01:02:59.900 They had a group where there was one side of the bracket in a group where there was no major contending team, meaning that a new team could make top six. 01:03:00.580 --> 01:03:01.980 And it's happened again this time too. 01:03:02.180 --> 01:03:16.780 There's a whip, whip eSports, PCS, Stride, KDOP, Corp, and Magnifico all in one bracket, meaning one of those teams get top six, which obviously for the likes of GK and Gentlemates when they're put in the same bracket, they're fighting for that top six too. 01:03:16.780 --> 01:03:20.020 It's like they're fighting a little bit harder for that top six 01:03:21.020 --> 01:03:25.460 Against each other and the other teams on the other group as opposed to this particular graph 01:03:27.100 --> 01:03:30.300 Bracket so group is the Mickey Mouse half is what I'm here 01:03:32.220 --> 01:03:39.180 It's not Mickey. I didn't say that it's simple, you know, you've got Carmine in one bit Manchester same one bit 01:03:39.740 --> 01:03:44.380 Vitality and nip they're all they're all gonna meet in the semi finals and the same with the likes of gentlemen 01:03:44.380 --> 01:03:48.180 and GK, they're going to meet in the semis as well. Obviously, if that is how it plays 01:03:48.180 --> 01:03:54.920 out with, with this one bracket, you got with PCS KDOPCorp Magnifico. Where's the major 01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:59.140 team? You know, it's like, it's a little, it's a, it's a nicer run for them. They don't 01:03:59.140 --> 01:04:00.140 have to worry about any. 01:04:00.140 --> 01:04:01.140 Yeah. 01:04:01.140 --> 01:04:07.140 Major teams KDOPCorp. That's the major team. That's the major team. Okay. We have, 01:04:07.140 --> 01:04:11.180 I don't know why we're not putting respect on KDOPCorp here in his bracket. I already 01:04:11.180 --> 01:04:16.280 They're making the major this is gonna be a good run for them. All I gotta do is get past Magnifico 01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:20.860 I see a little bit real round. I'm worried about because Magnifico probably is gonna want that revenge, you know 01:04:21.740 --> 01:04:23.260 Uju was playing with 01:04:23.260 --> 01:04:26.160 Radosa and mitzer before they picked up go 54 01:04:26.380 --> 01:04:30.460 So now they're gonna want to try to you know get their bounce back, you know use your Tommy Nico 01:04:30.460 --> 01:04:32.460 I'll be the first round matchup to watch on Friday 01:04:33.220 --> 01:04:38.420 But I mean outside that's gonna be a good top eight. That's me. It's good top eight for KDOP court. Oh wait 01:04:38.420 --> 01:04:41.940 Yeah, that's me. I mean, yeah, that's a that's a top six pretty juicy. 01:04:41.940 --> 01:04:43.340 Yeah, that's a top six. 01:04:43.340 --> 01:04:46.280 And then, you know what happens wrong if they win that top six, but the seven. 01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:48.520 Give me a little run back. Give me a. 01:04:48.520 --> 01:04:50.580 Oh, who do I want? Who do I want? 01:04:50.580 --> 01:04:53.580 I think I want to NIP KDOP for upper quarterfinal. 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:57.880 Oh, if I if I can, it'll be kind of hard. 01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.380 You'd sacrifice my goat, CRR. 01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:07.280 Listen, I see CRR being your goat, but my goat, go 54. 01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:11.920 or Diego is going to have to take down CRR. 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:13.240 OK, he's going to actually have. 01:05:13.240 --> 01:05:14.240 My heart does. 01:05:14.240 --> 01:05:15.560 But listen, get the upset. 01:05:15.560 --> 01:05:16.680 You'll be in the top six spot. 01:05:16.680 --> 01:05:17.680 I think it'll be great. 01:05:17.680 --> 01:05:19.480 I mean, listen, we'll get off topic, 01:05:19.480 --> 01:05:21.760 there's a little more pressure right now. 01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:22.800 Who is under the most pressure? 01:05:22.800 --> 01:05:23.440 I'm sorry. 01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:24.560 I kind of derail this. 01:05:24.560 --> 01:05:26.160 Jordy's called me off guard. 01:05:26.160 --> 01:05:26.640 I'm sorry. 01:05:26.640 --> 01:05:27.160 I apologize. 01:05:27.160 --> 01:05:28.560 The tone the whole got us off. 01:05:28.560 --> 01:05:29.060 The tone. 01:05:29.060 --> 01:05:29.560 No, it's not. 01:05:33.560 --> 01:05:35.520 I'm still trying to figure out what that is. 01:05:35.520 --> 01:05:39.240 But definitely the team under the most pressure is gentlemen. 01:05:39.240 --> 01:05:44.480 It's like you're major champions, you should be performing way better. 01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:50.040 And the biggest reason why that group is looking the way it is is because those two teams and 01:05:50.040 --> 01:05:53.680 gentlemen from GK didn't beat who they were supposed to last time around. 01:05:53.680 --> 01:05:58.200 So now they're struggling in this bracket where they're both trying to compete for 01:05:58.200 --> 01:06:02.880 this one spot while Alpha 54 is getting his break. 01:06:02.880 --> 01:06:11.840 And if he beats everyone he's supposed to beat, Alpha 54 after retiring for 10 years is coming 01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:15.400 back and making a top six, which is crazy. 01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:19.880 And it took, and we talked about Zen not winning since Alpha has been in the league. 01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:20.880 That's crazy. 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:23.280 He comes back in the league and Zen's actually winning again. 01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:25.320 Maybe all he needed was the spirit of 54. 01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:30.840 So I think it's gentleman's man, it's generational. 01:06:30.840 --> 01:06:34.200 GK at one point, what do they need at minimum? 01:06:34.200 --> 01:06:36.960 Because the first place is what was it? 01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:38.200 18 points for a win. 01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:39.560 Yes. Right. Yeah. OK. 01:06:39.560 --> 01:06:43.040 So and that may and second place was 12, which makes. 01:06:44.240 --> 01:06:47.560 Remember, they're trying to get the top five. 01:06:47.560 --> 01:06:49.680 The top four is eight points, right? 01:06:49.680 --> 01:06:50.960 Yes. OK. 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:52.520 So they get eight points. 01:06:52.520 --> 01:06:54.920 That puts them at nine for GK. 01:06:57.280 --> 01:06:58.440 And it's a battle. 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:00.480 I think if they get eight points, 01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:06.480 I think they need eight points at one, at least GK's got to make a top four. 01:07:08.160 --> 01:07:09.680 Yeah, they got to make the top four. 01:07:09.680 --> 01:07:12.240 And honestly, you would think that they would want help, 01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:18.640 but the way the bracket is set up, I don't think I don't think they're going to get the help. 01:07:18.640 --> 01:07:20.080 Who are you trying to knock out? 01:07:20.080 --> 01:07:25.440 That's the thing is like, everyone, literally, yeah, I mean, literally everyone. 01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:27.680 But I think you're looking at synergy. 01:07:27.680 --> 01:07:30.000 You want to knock synergy out of that spot? 01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:33.440 because they're going to be in that round. So you're kind of open for synergy win. 01:07:33.440 --> 01:07:35.600 And then I think anyone above them, it doesn't matter. 01:07:35.600 --> 01:07:39.200 Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm not in a man city or like, yeah, they'll want months. 01:07:39.200 --> 01:07:43.840 So you knocked out the most just because of the overall ranking for points for eight points. 01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.040 Yeah. Yeah. 01:07:46.040 --> 01:07:47.680 I mean, synergy. 01:07:47.680 --> 01:07:48.680 All right. 01:07:48.680 --> 01:07:51.880 I told the whole there at six, you never know. 01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:52.880 That's what I'm saying. 01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:55.280 It's anyone's game. 01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:58.480 Is this whole too deep for GK to climb out of this? 01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:01.920 If you don't get top four, yeah, if you don't get top four, 01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:03.920 yeah, I think it's a real tough. 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:05.800 Well, they just got to perform there, don't they? 01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:09.400 I mean, I'm trying to say as unbiasedly as possible here. 01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:12.120 OK, because I feel like that's the perfect place to be bias. 01:08:13.200 --> 01:08:14.240 Actually, all right. 01:08:14.240 --> 01:08:18.080 OK, so, yeah, I don't think you can close to Dave. 01:08:18.080 --> 01:08:21.280 I mean, the way the brackets set out, you've got so many teams 01:08:21.480 --> 01:08:26.400 where there are such so close in points that anyone can take those 01:08:26.400 --> 01:08:29.960 last three spots because I think with Vitaly and Nip anyway, although maybe Nip you could 01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:34.480 argue not, they're going to be running away a little bit in points whereas you've got 01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:41.080 Man City, Karmine, Synergy sat on 8 points, 8.6 points and then the rest is like 6.4 points. 01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:45.920 As long as you perform better than them in the second, for this regional, sorry, open 01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:51.240 five, you could jump up so high and then you have one more regional after that to 01:08:51.240 --> 01:08:52.240 work on it too. 01:08:52.240 --> 01:08:54.240 You do have a lot of runway. 01:08:54.240 --> 01:09:11.240 Yeah, and with like, I'm going back to the bracket talk as well, with the brackets and how open it is, if you are performing well, you can you can scrape by really easily because of how the brackets are set up, it's more difficult for the major teams because they have to play against each other. 01:09:11.240 --> 01:09:22.240 So you're guaranteed major teams to drop down into top eight and have to fight early on in the playoffs as opposed to they're all kind of comfortably making their way through. 01:09:22.240 --> 01:09:30.740 So what's the strat? Just like, I don't even worry about Gritty Goose and I specifically prep to beat Gentlemates in the upper bracket semifinals. 01:09:31.240 --> 01:09:32.240 No, I don't think you're going to do it. 01:09:32.240 --> 01:09:33.740 And get into it that I qualify? 01:09:34.240 --> 01:09:38.240 No, you got to do one step at a time, Achieve. That's a winner's mentality, right? 01:09:38.240 --> 01:09:45.240 You got one step at a time. Gritty Goose is still a good team. That's Razir's team, right? Razir's talks and Bababa. 01:09:45.240 --> 01:09:50.240 I'd still rate them as a good team. A hard team to beat. 01:09:50.240 --> 01:09:51.620 because it's a best of five. 01:09:51.620 --> 01:09:54.380 A best of five can go either way, right? 01:09:54.380 --> 01:09:55.540 Because it's so small. 01:09:55.540 --> 01:09:56.660 It's such a short series. 01:09:56.660 --> 01:10:00.060 So you still got focus on round one, then round two, 01:10:00.060 --> 01:10:02.100 then qualify and then worry about siren. 01:10:02.100 --> 01:10:02.940 You can't drop the gun. 01:10:02.940 --> 01:10:03.780 But if you got a lower bracket, 01:10:03.780 --> 01:10:06.060 you're going to have to go through either Magnifico 01:10:06.060 --> 01:10:07.700 or K-Dub corp. 01:10:07.700 --> 01:10:09.380 I don't want to face either of those guys 01:10:09.380 --> 01:10:10.220 and get bounced out. 01:10:10.220 --> 01:10:12.220 Especially not K-Dub corp. 01:10:12.220 --> 01:10:14.060 Yeah. 01:10:14.060 --> 01:10:18.580 No, I'm not putting a dampener on the other teams. 01:10:18.580 --> 01:10:26.420 I say like because major teams are expected to perform well and they usually do so that's why it's an upset when they don't right 01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:28.420 With the likes of general mates and GK 01:10:28.420 --> 01:10:31.920 Whereas these other teams they don't have that pressure to keep performance up 01:10:31.920 --> 01:10:34.020 And that's why they cannot be a little bit more dangerous 01:10:34.020 --> 01:10:39.100 But you shouldn't take away from the fact that you still need to focus on being those specific teams to progress 01:10:39.100 --> 01:10:43.100 Yeah, Europeans always have your random banana peels out of nowhere 01:10:43.740 --> 01:10:46.420 That's the worst part. Yeah, just 01:10:46.420 --> 01:10:52.660 pretty goose out there gonna like watching GK meme watching GK tomorrow I'm 01:10:52.660 --> 01:10:56.900 still gonna be swen to all heavens watching them play really goose as I 01:10:56.900 --> 01:11:02.740 will be if they potentially play gentlemen so I that one change that's 01:11:02.740 --> 01:11:11.500 fair I think it's gotta be top minimal gotta be time for okay we'll see if 01:11:11.500 --> 01:11:13.140 they can make the top four. 01:11:13.140 --> 01:11:17.660 All right, to close the show, let's get thoughts. 01:11:17.660 --> 01:11:19.300 Who's looking the best right now? 01:11:19.300 --> 01:11:20.780 Who do you have winning? 01:11:20.780 --> 01:11:23.340 Do you have the vitality back to back? 01:11:23.340 --> 01:11:24.780 Do you have the K-Corp bounce back? 01:11:24.780 --> 01:11:26.380 Do you have the maids bounce back? 01:11:26.380 --> 01:11:28.300 Is GK going all the ways? 01:11:28.300 --> 01:11:29.540 The buy is taking over. 01:11:31.820 --> 01:11:33.340 Michael, start us off, man. 01:11:34.660 --> 01:11:36.460 I think it's K-Corp bounce back time. 01:11:36.460 --> 01:11:38.420 I believe the tier has been the prince for too long. 01:11:38.420 --> 01:11:40.540 You gotta be the king one time again. 01:11:40.540 --> 01:11:44.380 Get it back on top. I want KC to show that they're still them. 01:11:48.080 --> 01:11:50.080 OK, rough. 01:11:50.980 --> 01:11:53.380 Oh, I know, Jordy, you go ahead. 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:55.380 I thought it was my turn. I'm sorry. 01:11:55.380 --> 01:11:57.280 I'm just thinking I'm thinking alone. 01:11:57.280 --> 01:12:00.120 I think VP said this earlier. 01:12:00.120 --> 01:12:01.280 Ryan Pan said this earlier. 01:12:01.280 --> 01:12:04.220 He said that everything will smooth out and I agree with him on that. 01:12:04.220 --> 01:12:07.080 I think everything will kind of fall back into how it should have done. 01:12:07.080 --> 01:12:11.000 expectably with the previous regional 01:12:11.760 --> 01:12:17.760 Can I go in all over the place? I think the team to win though. I mean, I'm just gonna say GK like I don't know why 01:12:21.760 --> 01:12:29.360 I'm here for it. Well in the first split they went our top 12 and then they went they went into the grand finals the next regional after 01:12:29.680 --> 01:12:32.800 So it's possible. It's global. It's a global 01:12:33.240 --> 01:12:35.240 this 01:12:35.240 --> 01:12:38.660 Uh, I really want to see a car my core bounce back 01:12:38.660 --> 01:12:42.160 I really do because I predicted them to be the best team in this region and 01:12:44.120 --> 01:12:46.120 They're disappointing me.
