And I've been here all I've seen
Only the heart like it's to us
There's so much I can do now
To take off the light now
You have to find your way around
Cause I can't change it
What you're wasting
Now the check is, it's all in place
And I've lived it not so much
I can't believe it
It's what I feel
All day, the high life came through my eyes
It's all I do now
To figure out how
You lost the fire in your eyes
Cause I can't change it
I
I see behind the stars that we can't live without to realize
Nothing we can't find is real, it's silent
Don't hold the distance between us
Take a low hand down
You made me find
Cause I know I'm wasting my time
And you're the one I've been trying to know
I know I've seen you hide
The stars, the light
And we've had everything to heal
Eyes
When I feel your light
As we decide
I hope that distance can be achieved
Take it away now
I'll go to hell
Take it away now
I'll go to hell if you please come
I
I'm sick of fighting the things that you said I don't want to burn all our bridges and
I'm tired of throwing up bad when you left me on register
Turn up the noise in my head
I told you that one day ain't never enough
Tell me I hate you, I still call you up
If we don't got trust, we can never add love
I was put in the hours, hours, hours, hours I watched
You were calling me a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar
I've been putting in the hours, hours, hours, hours, hours
And it's coming down and down and down and down and down and down and down
I was putting in the
I was putting in the hours, hours, hours, hours, hours
to come and be a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar
I've been putting in the hours, hours, hours, hours, hours
I was
Get away too serious
Well then
I don't have

But when I kiss you

You
Rocket League fans around the world, welcome to Europe for open number five.
The second online regional on the road to Paris for the European region.
We are giving out points.
Well, maybe we're not even giving them out.
They are being earned by these teams.
The eight best teams in Europe are still alive in the competition on their way to Championship
Sunday.
the title of European regional champion. Welcome to the free show. We got 20 minutes and 30 seconds
till the time honored, sage classic has been played a million times, maybe played a million
times before and later. Gritty goose versus man city. Gonna be our first match of the day,
except to see the goose on the stage. I may have been lying to wave pump consistently about
English football history. He now believes gritty goose is like 20 years in different.
It can't be false though. You can't have gotten this over me again. No, not gritty goose.
We saw a crazy run from Gritty Goose yesterday. Will it continue today?
Yeah, the Gritty Goose. We had a great day yesterday. Didn't we, Wife, Punk?
Actually, Gipsy was here as well. I was going to say without these guys, but no.
Gipsy was on record not having a good time yesterday.
Yeah, Gipsy was trying to get through. I don't know if he had somewhere to be,
but he just kept saying how boring the series were. Unfortunately, he actually manifested
one round of just complete amount of boringness though with four 3-0s.
But outside of that, we had, you know, a few upsets, GK obviously, not making it through, was the headline.
There was a few headlines that we will talk you through if you missed yesterday's action.
Don't worry, we'll get you caught up. This is your first time watching Rockley.
We love that you picked right now to start watching the greatest eSport in the world.
Open number five, that orange bar there in the middle of the screen.
We are on the road to the Paris Major, which is the final online, the final in-person event before our World Championship.
championship. The end of the season, well, we will crown a new
Rocking League World Champ, or maybe NRG will retain. Who knows? You know, you guys,
you have no idea what's going to happen. It's going to be crazy. If you want to be in the building
when Paris head goes down, folks, scan the QR code on your screen. It's going to be a great time.
I'm very excited about it. I hope to see you guys there. It's going to be a one for the books.
Let's talk about one that's already in the books, though. Yesterday, we had some fantastic play here
for Friday and there was so many good goals we couldn't possibly put them all
in the top 10 but let's just let's let's walk through 10 of them here folks
these are your top 10 plays from Friday presented by progressive gives take it
away finally I get to speak Stizzy let's go the flip reset the flip cancel as well
for the power shot in the bottom left corner Stizzy brilliant shot here
brilliant please cool now I hope you like talking for the time you had games
Keep it moving on to next up off the backboard. There we go straight in. Most all reset catches everybody out one
Thank you, man
Well, there's no eye in team there is in give so we're not gonna let him talk for the rest of the preachers
Thank you team though. This was a beautiful team play off the rip off the kickoff have a look at this
It's the double kickoff the little fake pre-jump off the road bottom left slot beautiful
Fantastic stuff one of the big stories yesterday with eSports still alive today
Will it continue from plays like this look at this aerial dunk up high gets the reset on the first touch
And then don't in the air for the goal
Is anyone see nice a gap because we got ourselves a turtle shot here was ears with the flip reset. No
For sure artists we have splashed out and that was over here
Nice shot there in the bottom right corner
Number 5 we've got Stizzy, 1v3, no problem, what's so happy, I might as well send 6 because
no one will get anywhere near him, just threatens this the entire way through.
Where do I get to play at, where do I get to play at?
I'm going to play at right now.
Where was Oli going?
What's the top 25?
Sorry, top 10 play without number 25 in the world, this man there, the reset.
He's looking like the 25th best player in the world, scratch that, minus 24 spots.
He's looking like the best player in the world after open 4, beautiful reset.
with the light, and it's a witty bot over the top.
GK had a terrible day yesterday.
The one silver lining tempo of the play from this man.
What is that?
How do you even manage to put the ball behind your opponent
here, an incredible little touch on the ground,
creative ways to score here for Teppo?
Somehow he ground pitches that.
I don't understand.
But you changed.
That's full up Johnny Boy.
It's a squishy save.
That was so squishy redirecting in and out
out of the office of goal.
You changed.
Coming up, he just went so incredibly early
that was small to get that. But it can only be one and it is resist one two and three just
going to take on everybody's good for your opponents. He's got reset and a touch for each of you.
Look at that. How tight that reset is. I'll be spamming away the X button. Jump jump jump jump jump
jump jump. You said that can only be one and then I saw three. I don't understand. You oversold.
I mean, I'm very excited. We're serious. Fantastic play. We're going to see them play a little bit
later on today. Yesterday it was a story. There was some big moments, some big events
coming into it. Let's talk about group A. Walk you through some of the action here.
The first rounds went pretty clean and simple there over in group A. Gentlemates taken down.
Synergy, GK taking on Gritty Goose, Wip taking down PCS and Magnifico sweeping KDOP Corp,
which was a surprising result. But we'll see how that continues on here. Let's talk about
those upper semifinals and lower quarter finals matches here CJ. Gentlemates coming back in
fashion here and making a statement in on Friday. Yeah, it's good to see them bounce back. Oh,
see didn't make the top eight of open four after winning a major, which is absolutely insane.
But stepping up, it was good to see that the spotlight was up so in GK as well. These other
two teams that we expect to make the top eight let alone by parts of top six, top four didn't make
it through. But well, it was gentlemates getting the job done in this matchup. It looks, it looks
That's pretty good. That's the, you know, if you inconsistencies, but improving as the split goes on, we'll see if the mates, you know, they're practicing to sell a couple of those parents tickets that they do well in this open to kind of put themselves in a good spot for one of those top five.
But then we go on the other side and it's a completely different story. It's two teams that desperately want to top six to be in that running for a top five spot.
Spivey got work in progress versus Magnifico work progress the 3 and 0 through swiss gave him this beneficial bracket and they'd be great use
Yeah, I mean they're five and all for the entire tournament. They're having a fight off the time
You can have some people turn around. You say well, they got kind of a Mickey bracket
They are the Mickey bracket they be an IP on their way to this so they go all of this through their results in Swiss
They're the beneficiaries of it, but this was for me the big likes sort of silent story was gk
were having their problems. Synergy, who had a lot of points somewhere in the running for
one of the Paris spots out 0 and 2. They are now lagging behind. They've lost their spots
to K.Drop-Corp and to Totendall. There's not so many other teams catching up to them
as well.
Yeah, it's good news as well for the teams that are kind of outside or below Synergy
in the rankings. Well, pretty good. It's good to see them firing on all cylinders. Magnifico,
probably disappointed that they didn't end up making it through.
Tadal, of course, I mean, what a story for these guys.
You mentioned it.
Lucy, 3-0 in that first round against Magnificio,
but then that low bracket, they just ran it down.
They're looking great.
Redoucens up and about bouncing around out for 54.
He's locked in as well.
And, you know, that, that lowest team in that final round was,
was a heartbreaker for the, for the GK fans, Wave.
Yeah. No, it's, we talked about these low two semifinals,
these were winning in, losing out matches.
GK, obviously, didn't, they got the job
been against Gritty Goose but then struggled against the gentlemates and
started to be echoes of previous events. Is this gonna be a similar story for
GK here going into the fun around gotta win and in KDOT Corp who got swept to
start off the day then swept PCS to get to this match up here brought it to them
in five and it's KDOT Corp is through GK is out again. Love to see it too for
Malphla just showing up he showed up last up around now KDOT Corp has put this
team in both opens really showing the third top eight team and KDOT Corp
Watch out they are tied for fit in points right now. They can make the major
They have to go through vitality today to gain a couple more points
So it is a tough road, but Alvin Rato knows that very well
So we'll see if they can do it but they look great in this matchup
GK felt like they had a lot of offensive pressure at times and then it just fell apart when it mattered most
You've got to execute on the shots
Go for it a lot out of it.
So, Gritty Goose, I mean, what a result for them here.
Magnifico, they solved that and we saw absolute free-o
against Kennel Corp.
Okay, we're gonna get that typical
once-a-season Magnifico, just make a run.
We'll see for whatever reason, but Gritty Goose,
maybe a team that we should have expected a little bit more from.
Obviously, they changed their name
as every single team in Europe tends to do.
Thanks very much for that,
but also thank you very much for the fantastic broccoli
that they played.
quick look at me. I just like the fact that we've got a little bit of depth as
well. And I think we mentioned before gives me to get the best of sevens. We do
see the top teams more often than not getting the job done for these best of
five on Friday. It's anyone's game and anyone can upset anybody. It's good to
see. It's good fun over in Europe. If you gentlemen, I'm obviously they're
alive and we're going to see them play vitality a little bit later on today.
But if you had to just offer the vibe off of comes from watching yesterday and
last event. If you had to rank K dot for power, rank K dot for in Europe right now, where
you put them? Six, six, just a mouse. Six. Just don't throw on it out there. Seven. Like
in that range, it depends on who they play, but they take out a team that is very good.
Like GK twice now and open four and open five. So you got to kind of put them in that tier
of like right by the major spot. I feel like top five, a five, six spot, whether that is
right on that cusp of on a good day, they're winning the event. So keep an eye on KDOT
Corp. They might be the real deal here, folks. I want to find out a little bit more about
their story today. Now, CJ, you were arguing that Europe has a bit of depth at just a moment
ago. Oh, yeah.
We would like to make the rebuttal here. We had four strong teams. Those four teams emerged
and they didn't lose a game in the first year. We're just going to skip that. So let's talk
about the upper semifinals here. We'll talk about Nip versus Vitality rematch from the
Grand Finals have opened number four. Yeah, I forgot about the start of Group B. We can
forget about the EU death, but it was good to see the top teams go at it. The big dogs
in the upper semifinals, the Inches in the Jamas team of Vitality. We got a rematch
which was awesome from the Grand Final early on. That's what I love about the format. You
don't have to wait until the very end to see the best teams go at it and we have to see
that fair with the Vitality and I mean what an upset for the Inches in the Jamas to get
the job done, Gibbs. Are they underrated? Maybe, maybe at this point Vitality set any
E-Racket win in 17 games in a row, like across two events that has never been done before,
and then Nidgers and Bajama say at the streak, not only that, they win three in a row versus
Vitality to get the win.
It's a team that we're looking towards though, KC, I mean, are we getting a third season
in a row of KC peeking at the worst time right at the beginning of the season, and then it's
slip away.
Matt City, I mean, this has worked out beautifully for them, Seiko looks like he has been on this
team for years, let alone weeks, let alone mums. Not necessarily getting there after,
but they're against the KC who are on the wall path right now and they moved on.
Moving on in style as well and that's it. Just set up a great match here. It's
Journalmates, you have the major champs who are looking like they're in form and then on the other
side of things we did have one of the likes of Kelly Gearest. Ira as well, we saw Sison on the
hog, on the road, we'll just try to make that thing work. It still just looks like the heaviest
thing ever, but I like it. I'm all about it. Caliguris, we did see the up to the
second game, GK last time. A tough run though, where you're gonna have to
perhaps face a team vitality in the final matchup. They didn't move on.
Totenhoal gives you love the Totenhoal. Totenhoal is probably a very ugly
dish. We looked at it, it did not look appetizing, but that's English food for
you. But Totenhoal showing up big yet again in the first round at least in that
lower bracket to get so much needed points, which led up into a very
important match versus Manchester and they just couldn't get it done. Yeah we're
going to talk about those lower semifinals here Caliguris versus Vitality was an
incredibly one-sided match from beginning to end I believe it was 12 goals to 2
and that lower semifinal here we'll show you some of those goals here as we talk
about them again these were winning in matches Vitality punches their ticket
through and then Manchester City versus Totenham on the other side of things but
Quickly here just to my I mean if you we thought we learned anything about Caligurus
They'll see Jay threw the through watching the play these three matches
It was you know, it was that was certainly seeing a net for a lot of it
He's getting to where we saw the top plays as well as Zang is absolutely all over them
But I think we see the Caligurus that you know mentioning
You know likes of K-Dog Corp as well that around that five six mark there. They're in the patch
They're around the top, but I think the Tivity Top has just frozen that I might just be a step above the rest
It's top that could be
Was the top four teams and open for and they showed up, you know
Like all four of those teams exactly what they were supposed to do only told the whole really challenge any of these teams
I tell you he obviously got the job done there, but it's all the whole I was like sleeper pick here man cities
There's no question marks around that you rostered they lost to K-Corp pretty handily
So it's an all right, we'll man see you bounce back took a while but experience always brings true
Game five champion to who is it? What say co showing up big?
So my actually steal this one as well because we got to game four they were leading they were doing so well
But they were getting to me when you get close like that
You still feel like this is gonna work out boy and then with one one almost no time left
the game. We're going to go
into the game. We're going to
have edge B comes in takes that
one away and then you we went
over to game five and very
much felt like, All right. Well,
why do we bother really? Because
they got smashed in Game five.
Yeah, it was. I don't know. It
felt like turned the whole A
they ran into mostly just a
experience diff there on Game
five. We talked about it
yesterday. Also, it was kind of
fun watching Manchester City
play and how many infield passes
they were heading. I felt like
a fun flashback. We'll see Manchester City play a little bit later on today.
14 minutes from now, and as a matter of fact, as they'll be taking on Gritty Goose down there in
that lower bracket round one, that is an elimination match. You got to win to continue on Championship
Sunday. Same story for KDAPCorp versus Team Vitality. KDAPCorp taking on KDAPC's old
organization. There's a story there somewhere, folks. Another World Show. One, three, and I,
it's gonna be great. Yeah, that's this kind of true. That's that's true. Yeah, two players who
won a world championship on vitality, taking on vitality here.
So we'll see, we'll see that a little bit later on today.
We have, we're on the road to Paris.
There's lots of people, lots of competitors trying to make it there.
And we can talk for just a moment about kind of the lay of the land here, CJ.
I feel like it is, it's a different story than it usually is at this point.
Oftentimes we have at least like one team kind of locked up for
special, those reasons that have played two events.
I don't know, there's, there's a lot of, especially in, I think,
Mina and OCE, a lot more variety happening right now
than we're used to seeing.
Yeah, obviously a little bias, but OCE is going to be,
I'm going to say it's going to be the most exciting event,
so make sure you guys tune in next weekend.
We've got three teams up there,
as you can see the power and the Bulldogs
are both tied on 26 points.
You can see the two logos under OCE,
24 points for Wildcard,
who got top six of Worlds only on last season.
So basically whoever wins the final event
or outplaces each other out of that top three
will probably not only make Paris,
the world championships as well.
That's how close it is.
Mina's a big one as well, Gibbs.
You're looking at a team Falcons that won't be there
in Paris, if they don't win or...
Yeah, that's insane.
Team Falcons coming off like world championship grand finals.
They make a move to pick up Draleigh,
the best player in the game at the time.
And they're in fourth place in Mina right now.
They also finished top four in Boston.
Very likely not gonna be in Paris
unless they win the regional
and twisted minds falls apart.
But it's insane right now, Mina,
But RAD Sports, congrats to them.
Very likely have already clinched their spot.
As long as they get another top forward,
they are looking good.
So we'll see some new faces at Amina,
very likely at this Paris Major.
Now the story for the World Championship
may be a little bit different.
Amina were so used to seeing Falcons up there on top.
They're the number one spots.
We'll see them down there in the fourth place spot.
I'm sure for so many people,
feels like the world's falling in.
And Amina, it sort of is.
Like this is so unprecedented.
But you look at the World Championship contenders.
that's a good thing. We've
seen a lot of the teams
going into the game, but
Falcons did have an incredible
first split of the season. So
despite rough results here on
the road to Paris, the fact
that Boston went so well for
Falcons means they're still
sitting up on top here,
Jordan. Yeah, I mean,
Falcons are pretty much a
lot to get the world's amount
of what, but they will not
feel good about the way things
are going. O. C, though. I
mean, that's gonna be big
regarding who they sent
because not only do these
teams want to be going, but O.
South America over in Paris.
If they want to retain that spot.
So whoever goes, they're doing it for the entire region.
They're doing it to send a second team to the World Championship.
So hopefully best team comes out on top CJ.
Well, yeah, well, I just want to send the best team possible.
But yeah, I think they just need to out place the average of the two
Sam seeds as well.
So they don't have to out place the best performing team.
And as well, let's just hope Sam too comes last.
If you're an OCE fan and we can maybe, you know, get a little cheeky
Chicky winning that gives and and get a second spot. It's possible, but then bringing it back to Europe really quick
We saw that fourth place has like 44 points. Fifth is at 27 and that's Manchester right now
So there's a big gap and that a fifth spot is wide open
We'll see if man City makes Paris like obviously if they do very likely
They'll be the team to go to the world championship
But Europe will also have other LCQ will probably be a lot of roster moves around that as well wave
So we'll see how it all pans out.
CJ, I'm going to quickly put you on the spot here.
And I understand you don't have this information.
For people who want to watch the OCE, the final split,
what's the best way to do that?
Where is it? When is it?
Twitch.tv.4. slash rocket league OCE.
We've got that channel up and firing.
It'll be on my stream as well.
Twitch.tv.4. slash CJ.
And on YouTube, and my YouTube channel.
So same thing.
Find it anywhere.
I'm going to set up first.
I was so curious.
Start of mine.
Nobody, man.
You don't understand.
Let's talk about roster changes here.
Let's talk about it just a little bit
because I think it's a hot topic in the Rock League community
right now for the teams.
There's so many teams that we expected
to be doing much better right at this point in the season
than they are doing.
Is this the time for them to break it up and change it up
before the LCK, before the final split,
before the final open of the season, or not?
We're going to play Sticker Split here.
Chat, you can play along.
Give us a thumbs up, thumbs down.
Yay, nay, I think is what you got to put in chat there
to vote here on stick or split Gen G. Should Gen G stick or should they split gentlemen?
I'm just gonna do it up like that. There we go. Can I have a third option? I'd like
a blow up. I think we need to blow this roster up. Not only stick it. This roster's cursed.
I know the organization. Every person they kick is going better now. They get rid of
Justin, he's flying with cheese.
I mean, they may as well kick Magic Bear,
reform the team on another organization
or a not even signed, and they might win
Worlds the way they go.
It's just tough because like who do you pick up?
Like if you do blow it up completely,
does Ryze go back to Europe and try and make it
through the LCQ there?
Does he begin in NA and through that?
Like obviously they'll keep it for open six.
We've seen crazy things happen before for that org as well
to just win the whole thing to actually make it.
But for the LCQ, it's like,
What are the options like who's available in North America?
I'm going to say stick, actually, because I'd stick.
No, if you can make better teams for these guys at this point, going into the LCK.
OK, man, I hear you.
I do think that the argument that every player gets better when they leave
the organization is an argument for each player to leave the organization.
I see the argument there, but a lot of chat.
Chat very much agreeing with us here on the desk.
I've also got split on this one.
87% for Genji mobile one race and change something up there. We'll see. Let's talk about the most recent
team that like is very solid in this conversation right now after their results yesterday GK, Afjack, Joyo and Tempo
Do they stick? Do they split?
Where can I get my hands like that far?
I think it's not working. It's
not working. And the promise
it's the duo that was sticking
with each other. Joyo and Jack
are just not playing well
together. They do not seem to
gel tempo. I think it's been
playing very, very well
despite the results. So I
think it's nice that GK lost
the trade. I think tempo lost
the trade in the way this is
That's something that may be an LCQ run and they can make that I can earn the last spot in LCQ because it's just something's not right
It doesn't make sense and the Gen G it's been it's been trending that way
But whereas I just think it's GK has been so bad
There is a lot of talent in Europe though
So I could see this one being a full blow-up and everyone forms new teams to try and figure it out
Because there's so many good players in Europe that have a chance to pop off in an LCQ sudden
So I could see this whole team blow up. Oh, yeah
They all feel individually very, very strong, but it's just not working together.
Split here. Chat also has an 84% split.
I feel like Chat's gonna be a team chaos here.
Let's talk about a team that has had fantastic results,
but has just been seeming to run into a slightly better roster.
A very different situation than the other two who are not making main events right now.
Falcons, pick it up.
Drolley seemed like it was gonna be one of the new super teams
and has yet to live up that same expectation.
Are we sticking or are we splitting?
Are we talking like going in next season because they are sort of going to Worlds?
They are going to Worlds.
Well, there is a small chance that they miss out. Like if they have to play the LCQ maybe, are we talking about that?
I guess Bob was saying they should. Yeah, but don't figure it out at some point.
Stick, but it's just still it looks like a terrible move so far.
They've gone from making grand finals at every land and nearly winning to maybe not even making it out of their region to a Paris manager.
Part of me part of me says split because like this was clearly not the right choice
But but I don't I think that they've I think that they've killed their opportunity to go back
I don't think that I don't think oh, yeah, I I don't think that they can ever get back to what they had
I think they've ruined it there
But the but a check and also agree with you here 82% gonna say
Falcons are just fine right now. Let them let them figure it out give them a beat there
Let's talk about one more team here in North America, which I think has got results on both sides
It's VP versus pro talk wavy in two piece. We sticking we splitting
How are you guys? I'm starting. I'm sticking a very likely they make worlds anyway though. So like but I didn't I still say
Like it's a young team. You try and figure it out for the L2Q like if you have to play
Yeah, I think that we've seen evidence that they can perform as well
I think talk was unbelievable early on in the first but in the first splitting Copenhagen in particular
I think they just need to find that form again. They just they're on a bit of a downtrend, but they can take it back
I'll say I'll say talk talks here is sort of reminding me of beast mode in the way that at the bear at the beginning of his career
We're like, oh my goodness is the best player in the world
And then there was just something on land for a little stint there where he just really struggled to show on land what he was able
To do online and talks been kind of in a similar spot of like and we all know he's got it
But where's the talk that we were making an entire like podcast about we were making entire top 10 just about him
You know like it where he's got it in him
I'm excited to see it come back out, and Chad's going to agree with us here on this one.
So, look at that.
How often do we just like fully agree with Chad here?
This was a good little resonance.
Team building exercise with Chad, you know.
We're doing it.
We're doing it, folks.
I'm proud of all of us.
So, folks, if you've got family and friends at home who like, who you want to have watch
Rocket League, but who don't play the game and maybe watching from the player's perspective,
the first person perspective we're used to watching it from, uh, so I want to check out
the Arleses crowd camp, Twitch.tv.
That's Arlesesports.
It's got a camera on the sideline.
It's much more similar to watching sports if you if you're a family that enjoys watching sports events in the real world
Maybe this is something that would be a good way to help get them into the greatest e-sport of all time 80
180 no 18 18 is a moment for 18 points and $21,000 on the line for the first place finish
That'll be given out tomorrow our players today playing for top six
So that'll be a $4,800 purse guaranteed all the teams that make it to championship Sunday tomorrow
here is our bracket. We will play the four matches on the left first today and
then we will play the remaining five matches those quarter finals semifinals
and grand finals tomorrow on championship Sunday. We've got four matches.
The two on the bottom are elimination matches so you know we got to play those
first. We'll see K-DopCorp take on Vitality for a spot on championship
Sunday a little bit later on but to kick things off. Manchester City taking on
Gritty Goose here. CJ talk to me about Gritty Goose especially for the team
for the people that didn't watch yesterday.
Don't know who these players are.
Don't know who we're talking about.
What is this name?
What is the Gritty Goose?
Well, these guys just keep on changing their name as well.
So, look, I don't forgive you guys
if you're a little bit confused as we do pull up the plays.
That he's not Gritty Goose.
We're looking at Man City on the other side of things.
But Gritty Goose, Toxrazias, Bibaba.
They were TRB last time.
They didn't get out of the groups.
And but formerly Magnifico as well,
Toxrazias' combination.
picking up the Barba hungarian player. And I believe we were hearing first on
Gary and to be top eight in the RCS, at least in Europe. So a shout out to him
looking for an up and coming gives a look for that youth to come through.
Yeah, that's really nice to see. We saw him in you open to open three and open
four. He got ninth place in all of those. So finally making it out, making it to
the weekend gets the play on the big show. Let's see what he's got. But the
I'm going up against Man City.
Man City has looked very, very good so far.
There's small question marks around.
Think you're awesome right now.
I don't know, like they're powering four or five,
probably at this point.
But Man City, they want to keep proving everyone wrong.
Just keep collecting those points
and try and take one of those top five spots.
Right now, everyone in Europe is running for Man City to lose
because people think that the mates will probably bounce back
and finish top five.
So man city is that spot I think most of Europe is looking at to try and take to go to the Paris major.
Chad, let us know who you think is going to win the hashtag GG for Gritty Goose.
I don't like that their hashtag is already calling the games over here.
Hashtag MCFC for Manchester City.
I that these teams have played twice in RLCS Manchester City's had them three one both times.
So for Gritty Goose, this not only is this bit of a new like not
I wouldn't say uncharted territory, but less experienced territory than the Manchester City boys have had.
It's also an opponent that they have struggled with multiple times in the past.
I mean, CJ, when you're going up against an opponent, you have yet to beat.
How strong is the mental block?
Oh, it's huge.
And sometimes you need to maybe even see them lose to some other teams around you that you know you can beat,
just for that confidence.
But yeah, the mental block is going to be massive.
Also, just be a gritty goose.
I had no idea what gritty goose was.
And then I watched, I looked at the Twitch chat while I was playing.
And it is just a goose hitting a green. Oh, yeah, it's pretty cool. Okay, but it seems pretty self-explanatory to me
The predictions here folks CJ who you got?
Give me mad city. I actually like the like how these guys are I like the cut of their gym
I like how they're operating. I know that everyone else is out for their spot in that top top five looking at the major
Looking at Paris, but I think they're gonna get the job done and separate themselves from gritty goose the guys that have blow them
I'm going to join CJ on Man City. I think they're just going to be a level too far above.
Also I think that Gridigooz do like to play a lot of backball defense and we see Man City
do like to spam in field passes. I just think it's stylistically a bad matchup.
So they played last week. It was 3-1. Two overtime though. One was pretty long. I like
the cut of their beak. I'm going Gridigooz with the opposite here. I think they are a
better team than people give them credit for. I think they keep it at least close. So I'll
I'll go with the underdog. I'll go with pretty goose. I like it. I like that
I'm gonna stick with the man city boys on this one
But I do think pretty goose especially for first match of the day gonna come out especially this game one
I mean incredibly important that they're able to start off hot
But man, she's just gonna have a big or a bill a bill
You know whatever invalidated gifts. They have that I think I see I see what you mean like a duck bill
Okay. Yeah, man are all bills beats. I'm gonna Google this at the beginning of game one folks everyone in chat though
the fans favorites nearly 70% can they prove them right folks a people's
champion taken on the boys from the city it's a great way to kick off some
broccoli get up and get loud it's game day it's man say this is pretty good
for playoff Saturday I can confirm using my zoology degree that I rarely get to
use that a goose does in fact have a bill and a game one is brought to you by
progressive Manchester City taking on that build up a gritty goose CJ and I am
excited to see what is looking to be one of the most important series of the day.
Thank goodness we have a zoologist amongst the talent team. Where would we be
without one? That's the question we're going to be asking ourselves. The bill, I'll say
against him. Are there any underdogs that are clearly not a Twitch chat? They're the
people's champ, the people's team. Yeah I've seen a lot of fights as well for the
You were saying that obviously it's great to see a Hungarian player making into that top eight for the first time in Europe.
It'll be the first time was in SSA for a Hungarian player.
So the barber has got a lot of love.
I imagine stemming a lot from his name as well, because I love to name ranked players.
He's up there. What a stunner of a couple of letters that he's assembled.
I can't tell if he's just smacked his keyboard or it's his name.
We need to get some more from him, but what I don't know is this guy can hit a top left shot.
What a start for the Gritty Goose.
I love it, that's a wonderful dunk as well.
Now as he lands, Jerson's about behind Saker
who did have the block, three players standing his way,
backflips at Toppins, no, probably.
Maybe I'm starting to like the cut of these guys' bills
if you would.
The Geese, looking on a song early,
that's the Deuce Geese, the largest.
What's a group of Geese called?
Bloody Neustons, mate.
Yeah, well, good, they are being deuce from Man City
the pitch as well so that's good for the pretty juice fans out there. Is it a gaggle of geese?
Yeah yeah yeah that would be the collective noun I think it's called a gaggle of geese.
I won't tell you what a collection of Mount City players would call that top corner nearly
being found by the greedy geese. My left-hand side reserve was good essential, doesn't have to find
it in Seiko. That's that way from the airport. I mean it's my imagination on what you think of
mid-city there. Maybe they have filled all Acro. Hang on a minute, free double, nobody on the
blackboard. Can he get the drop down? Maybe when it should pass to Seiko, far down.
When he's shooting on, his team's looking pretty good.
I love that connection in the midfield as well from Acro.
With this, he has to respect the shot might come in, so he has to wait on the goal line,
and then Seiko either reading the shot comes in, there might be a dumb opportunity.
He can just wait, he can poach. From the blind spot, Seiko can dive through, and you were talking
But earlier about GK and also the issues that they've had seemingly this change worked out considerably better for Man City
Considerably and I think say to just send a message. He said I don't know who you guys are, but you don't kick your world champ
You don't kick a world champ is if you look at the CV. I've got more
trophies to my name major champ world champ this guy's an absolute superstar so
Seiko, just a bit of, you know, maybe not holding a grunge, but he's certainly got a, he's got a good event him about him and I like it.
He's making this man city pick up, he's taking, getting kicked I guess you could say, of GK and turning it into an opportunity.
I think it's lit a fire and I do completely agree in the moment that I thought that Seiko had been removed for tempo.
That is a good move for GK. I completely back it in the moment.
in the moment. Evidently, that hasn't worked out what they thought but Seiko did seem relatively
lackluster until the major at which point he then was on almost in like his home territory
where he thinks, you know what, I know I'll do a major, I can do pretty well here and he's
done fantastically. I didn't see that same side to him during his online events. As far as
they're lit underneath him in Seiko, he really has looked fantastic. I think Man City have
come away last with the trade that they have made but tempo, he's been great on the GKS side
As you were saying that stick or split. I don't know what the audience or the fans said and I'm not sick or split but certainly seems like the GK.
The GK yeah. Yeah the GK yeah. Yeah it wasn't great. It wasn't great. It was about 13% for a stick. 87 for the split there is there to pump.
Coming through Akro top right on your net. In your net. 2-1. Mad Cindy seems to give up that first goal. Looks pretty on some.
I mean, if Akro's hoeing and making sure that he takes it nice and slow,
he calls his gun to the bomb, talks us to wait slow on the goal line.
Any momentum you can move from that keeper, you'll be happy to do so.
Akro being in his drenth with the both goals so far.
Looking on Simon, he might get another chance here on.
And the father had to pre-jump top.
Left corner, seems to be trying to roll it around.
Akro's up again, this man is absolutely everywhere.
Razir's can just park back, chill.
Looked pretty in third, man, as he does commit this time.
I was, should I say, Seiko now has to fight for the touch, Acro.
I must get dusted by Riziz.
Pretty good since that first 30 seconds when I looked on Song of...
Well, just struggling to keep any pressure on at the moment,
so it's good to see Man City performing,
but pressuring out is only going to do a side of things.
You can see the good amount of pressure falling towards that half.
For the 100 seconds remaining, the ball does land,
so you can't squeak it's way away.
I'm scared from the bottom of the bar for two receiving.
looking near by waiting for an error. There is one. They're looking at Edby into the corner, gets
a rat by top, but Edby can keep his wits about him. So he can just get on the plate from the ball,
chance here to shoot. Akro tries to remain in control on the blue side, and it's decent so far
from City. They've managed to maintain their position whilst they've been under a lot of pressure
from the Geese.
Akro with a redirect, that backboard has just been unguarded this entire game for me to tip.
British Goose get out of trouble there, almost find the shot.
Acro as you mentioned, he's just been that guy, happy to sit first man, happy to sit downfield,
look for a redirects and it just really pushes the attack of British Goose back when they have to be worried about that first man downfield.
Yeah, I mean Acro has been the guy as well on the side of off man sitting, he's been a phenomenal player statistically.
He is up there for a lot of the event stats, he's got the most amount of goals, second in score, second in shooting percentage.
He has been him, but Tox, when you're asking about players that will just keep battering
down the edges and will make it hard for his opposition, Tox is the guy, Greybone from
his ears on the final man, and Tox, he never stops towards the end of the season.
He will always be wanting to make it to that next level, so it was a great play from him,
and really keeps, they fight their way back into a level playing field.
And he talks probably one of the unluckiest players in RFC's history, and they've given
up the goal off the rim, Seiko just recovers way too quick for Gritty Goose's defense.
He's waiting there on the wall, but Baba third man, so he had space, but he's too quick.
I think as soon as Baba jumps, he then thinks, he has two ways he can go about it. Either go back down to the ground
and hope that he can just get back in time, or go for the chow.
He goes for the chow and Seiko's already got him beat. He jumps at such an awkward angle.
He's not able to get any connection on the ball, Razir is going to touch back into his own half.
It is nice that he's going to be there blocking away Seiko.
Recess was a sidewall.
Oh, goodness!
Lemon, me, Seiko.
The world champion is on form.
We said it at the start of the series,
don't be a don't kick a world champion,
cos he's not going to stay down for long at all.
This guy popped off in Boston,
and he's taken our worry left off in the online split here for Paris.
And he's trying to put one foot on the plane
the way this man's team is playing.
That goal just played from Seiko.
That is going to be game number one going in favour of City.
You have to think about Gritty Geese.
They are being a proper threat for a lot of teams.
Ryaba are all around them.
I mean, if you are a GK fan,
you're going to want to see Gritty Geese do well.
GK are really rooting to see any points taken away from Man City.
They are the threat to any team I saw in the top five.
Gritty Geese are sort of on that resurgence,
along with the GKs and such.
So any point taken away from City
is going to be instrumental in those other teams outside the top five major challenges.
Yeah, I mean, that's the worst possible situation when it's not in your own hands,
when you're relying on other teams, when you're relying on the Geeks,
and we do love the Gritty Goose, but GK certainly
be wanting to start their split all over again, if they could hit the rewind button.
In this series though, Van City looking fantastic.
Statistically, I think Gritty Goose,
I know they're the people's chance that the chat absolutely lost them when we're doing the prediction stuff.
But just statistically they're kind of in that eight spot. They're kind of just just kind of middle of the pack.
Kind of not average. I don't want to say that, but they are right there on the mean.
So the question is where are they going to step up?
Where are they going to find that extra polish to put them into a top spot?
Because Man City, right now, statistically, they're sitting in the top four in pretty much every category individually and as a team.
I've gone to that next level, can Gritty Goose do the same.
Yeah, I mean, you talk about them statistically,
but as well as them in the rankings,
they're a pretty good company.
They're level on pointy gentlemen right now,
they're sitting in that eight spot alongside them,
and they put it on those teams
that you kind of hope that they continue this push
throughout the rest of this split.
Like, we want to see them continuing to do,
well, errors like that, it's gonna make it hard.
They take a very soft shot towards the net.
Gritty injuries, oh my goodness gracious, there's so many Gs in there.
It's hard to continue this push, especially when you think
this really is getting towards the last chance of the season.
We've got a couple of online events left, we've got a handful of them,
and then it's the major at which point you're looking towards the whole championship.
Yeah, I do love the south of the team though.
You've got a couple of Germans that are just playing absolutely solid.
Rock Toss is always going to be around major contention.
and Rizziers, I think he's looked fantastic since he came back from the OCE failure
when he was on Chiefs down there. Couldn't quite get a regional win or an open win,
but since he came back to Europe, he's maybe just a nice holiday for him, a little refresh
back to Europe. So he's looking in for the Barba has the access, has the youth, and has that flair
to him. So I like the setup, it's just kind of going to find that extra 5%.
Yeah, it's always been that kind of story as well for a lot of teams that just let themselves outside
of the top, you know, four, five, six were housing. It's what Europe has at any given moment.
see what they can actually bring to the table to break into the otherwise rock
solid top side of European competition. Reserves, that's redirected on the marbles
the next to it to get the job done. Acro, final man on the backboard is going to make it a little bit harder.
Pass the half way there, one reset and the double and dribble and you get this final up. Reserves.
So far we're seeing, maybe Goose just try to work anything through that man's
safety defense. A great bump and the ball still finds the way to safe.
one reset as a second. No, not quite secure. Thank you very much.
Let me set indicates there for letting me know.
Pretty easy to watch on the broadcast, isn't it?
We're going to get a reset or not say go try to go for the double.
Didn't quite land it, but it's so impressive.
This on the ball right now, Acre, he's just look fantastic.
And just I wish we could get extra stats on how many times you just beat
an opponent, you know, in the air or off the dribble.
It'd just be so crucial.
I feel like those players can separate it.
We look at Zen, who's just that would have been a couple and completely open up
the space, speaking of out in the space, where he's almost with an opportunity on net.
Man City, have a look too comfortable with defense, it's where they can be exposed and
you betcha they will be, it was a double commitment for Reziz to secure the first goal.
Yeah, for a little bit iffy this one, you see two go up for it, both Reziz and the Barber,
they love actually bums Reziz into it. He doesn't even get credit to this, Tops gets the assist.
You have to think that if they don't score hard, or it manages to just well get that save,
Can they recover in time? But ultimately, it doesn't matter as they do get the save.
It's been cranky and clearer away, but the barber can hit it in the midfield.
It's a good start for G.G. Halfway through the game and they get there first.
Yeah, I mean, they were lucky that was a goal because if I was with the barber there, I would
be cursing Rezeus for cutting rotation front post and nearly completely stopping up that
shot on there. But good start here for the barber, good start here for Greedy Goose.
He's just watching out for Seiko on the backboard, trying to do a little beep,
a win and out operation acro.
Just a little drop down front post.
Same case, Edgeby or Seiko are going to be circling, looking for the extra touch.
Seiko looking threatening.
That's going to be an open net though.
They've completely left a wide open.
It was a race to the corner boost, I mean,
but I think Gritty just needed to be worried about the net.
And look, Edgeby here, he just, he waits.
He knows that there's just a little bit of annoyance coming in from Seiko,
trying to get his bump racing towards that corner boost, like you say.
He can just wait, sees what the touch is going to be, awesome.
Nice open goal, waits and poaches.
It was very well formed in the end from that month's 30-odd.
It's neat to see a bit more patience there from Riziz.
He just panicked when he realized that their boost was going to be under siege,
but at the end of the day, you've got to protect the net.
It's a scoreboard that counts, but he did go boost over ball.
It's just so tempting. It just lures you in.
That's the one of the boost when it is up, especially when it's your own.
It might be any stolen, that Man City capitalise.
Looking pretty strong there.
They do like exceeding the first goal, but they're fine.
They just, you know, keep us up firing in all cylinders
after they go 1-0 down.
90 second, ticking down,
and then it's Beal is found by Ackberg to the ceiling.
No one's to challenge, quite from top,
and then Bafaba waits on the backboard.
It was a nice dive across from him.
There you go, the second one to it,
and then getting the save does resist.
Flick, chance for HB.
One of the top corner, and a low boost tops.
And clear that one away. Low boost across the board, really, pretty in-geat.
They're safe from the man that does have some.
Central! A cross-cum-shot does not quite allow HB onto it, and the save is relatively easy.
Yeah, they need to find their close touch here. They're just kidding them all the way, and they're using so much resource to so many...
What do you want to call it? It's going to say units of boost?
No, that makes sense. There's HB.
Yeah, that's time.
Yeah, it works. We're going to go with bad resies. Makes us have to double commit again, though.
He'd be troubled, but Baba won't recover in time.
They were all over them like a rash, and they didn't have the cream.
I mean, so Baba here, as he lands, I guess, he sort of, he ends up facing,
he turns left thinking the shot might be towards his left.
As it goes right, he's then crippled towards a little bit too much,
so he then can't quite position in time.
He had the boost ready to get to it.
Positioning just ended up letting him down.
He then wants to have a little bit of a penance here,
in the net and Bumzakro as much as he humanly can. He's stopping, reversing, three-point turning.
And I like the offensive, good news. Oh, here's a big mistake from Seiko. If they get a bump on
last man, perhaps, off the backboard, lucky enough to recover, but it is a double commitment for
Man City. Both teams don't look too settled in defense, but I just want to see Gritty Goose keep
a little bit of control. They do just kind of hit the ball away and worry about the next attack
coming in on Man City. 12 seconds, see if you can get down the other end. Said Gritty Goose
to create some magic, but Bubba's going to leave these four tops,
reflects it over the top, but Bubba's looking for Bubbs.
It's going to be Rezeus now, we'll have a little bit of space,
goes sidewall two tops, he doesn't get the feed over HB,
they're going to look for the ground, everybody's up, Rezeus is own goalie.
And just that, how is that good?
What, it's, how, what is he think, the curve of the post,
they need to keep the ball alive, pretty good, one last shot,
you talk to me, never mind, safe go calls game, 2-0.
Man, I don't know how that stayed up.
That's who slammed into the cross-byes,
then bounced off the corner a bit of the wall
on the backboard off the post.
That's funny.
They go 2-0 up in the series, 2-1 in that game.
And then the Gritty Goose, they've got a good game plan.
They're just not quite acting on it
when they have very few opportunities.
We saw just this sheer amount of shots,
they think we're having a target there.
They love 12 in total and only six for Gritty Goose.
I mean, the save, though, you can see on Gritty Goose
getting three apiece.
So it is a big defensive effort
having to come in from Gritty Goose.
But when you look at the offensive stance throughout this
entire run so far, the City's offense,
there they are absolutely top tier.
They're number one in goals.
They're in the top four in shots.
They've got the most assists.
They've got the highest shooting percentage of 29%,
56% higher than your average,
than Akra Ava had identified earlier.
He is the guy who's leading the offense.
the defense is somewhat more in the center,
but when you're attacking so heavily
and you're so aggressive with how you play,
your defense doesn't necessarily need to be stone walled.
You can't afford to concede a couple of goals
and Gritty Goose has struggled to get those couple of goals
to really threaten city's offense,
to bring them back onto the defensive side.
And if I was the coach of Gritty Goose,
if I was Casper, who wasn't the national coach of Norway
as well, shout out to Casper.
I'd just be looking for some control in defense.
They had nine saves, but they were just getting pinned.
And when you're just hitting the ball away,
you need two options in defense.
Somebody you control it, you need to use the boost,
give time for your teammates to also gather resources.
Or you've got to find a target downfield.
You've got to find the likes of a father,
someone pushing up for mid boost.
And if you can hit a body, hit a teammate downfield,
you can get out.
But if they're just going to keep hitting the ball away,
man city going to keep on pressing,
and it's a matter of time until they score.
I think that's what it's for in the previous game, you know.
It becomes so much harder to actually work your way out
of defense when you're not trying to work your way out.
with a reset, gets the buck off the crossbar.
Edgeby, a reset.
Oh, she's double off eight!
The In-N-Out from Reziz!
It's a ridiculous save, but they're still in trouble.
They're all low-boost, except for that man, Reziz,
and he's on the backport.
Edgeby knows that he's got space low,
so he just takes the space,
tries to pop it out to Acro,
doesn't have the power,
but this is a great start from Man City.
Look at the demos.
They just paint keep away.
Tox is in!
So much trouble in there!
Zero boost.
Would they ever get out is the question.
Gritty goes finally a moment of respite,
but I feel like it's coming back with interest.
Mm-hmm.
They've got that first step of attack.
All right, now it's a one-by-one, but Barba flips it,
flicks it wrong, just high edge.
We can get off the backboard.
Tops out with very low boost.
She kind of tries to get his pressure on.
Will it be an extended period?
The miss from Reziz.
This now gets been called straight back over
towards City.
The miss field keeps her five at Barba.
No one charges in straight-ons.
We can hope that second touch shoots while Reziz
Off of the corner, it's devastatingly close, and Chalks can tow Ponteo.
Three games in a row with that Gritty Geese.
Get the first goal, and they were under the pump for 35 seconds there,
but as soon as they got down the other end, they threw the inner reverse card at him,
and started putting the heat on, great shot,
Sager almost getting the ball, peeking it out of that corner,
but the shot was through good, 1-0.
You've seen this happen previously, we've seen Gritty Geese go just a little bit higher
higher on the scoreboard they get the first goal and they can't get in the
second or the third as it is. It taps their high over the crossbar but I do
backseat it to get a goal here that pressure has been immense and if don't
let it go so any time that we're gonna be seeing the blue waves start to push
into the orange half you have to worry all really good how will they be able to
recover how can they keep the city offense away and they won the previous two
games by conceding first so I feel like after that goal went in if you man seeded
You probably went good, you know.
Water has restored and let's get our third win in a row on the board.
Edge is going to leave that one full acro and can you see how defensive this team do get?
Pretty good.
When they do get the lead, Seiko is going to get the double receives.
Beautiful touch, but he is low boost.
Edge being there, he's up on the 50, stealing more corner boost.
As you can see, is Edge be Seiko involved as well?
Man City circling, Seiko slams at home.
I mean, it was put on a silver platter and Seiko says,
Thank you very much, I'll tie that one up.
I mean, Akro is him on 64 a reason.
That is an unbelievable recovery.
He starts to go off with the offensive effort
to try and get the goal himself.
Realises he lets the two throng, takes it to that side wall.
The recovery to land on the side, then immediately kicks off here.
Doesn't forget a goal.
Then Sagan just lurk in that midfield.
It is gorgeous play from Sagan, as you said,
on a platter for him.
And Akro, he is putting up those numbers
throughout this event so far.
I mean, it's not slowing down in the round one.
Another little double commit coming out.
In transition there from pretty goose as well.
It's getting a little bit antsy when they do his face.
HB, he was going, yeah, the bears are passing.
You know that, that grows lower for it.
It was the fake.
He tried to find a skim.
Resist.
Whiz face back right.
That's good possession up.
The same toad.
They just put so much heat on the back.
It feels like every time they do throw it
to the backboard as well as Stumbie Man City,
there's nobody home.
We're going to do a snap and a jump up from there
and that just uses so much boost.
And there's not really much plan to get out of defense here
from Brady Goose.
They're struggling, I think, to have that second layer.
I've been very impressed with Rizir so far,
but if he's not wanting to be pretty sendy-to,
no one's actually get on the end of the walls
that he's trying to clear out of defense.
Now, I don't know what they're expecting to happen.
You're just gonna probably more often
not find a city player.
Rizir's down.
He's found a little bit of space that second man. She's a little slow and that demo's got to help out to
If he's an open man, I think the thought talks was just a little bit closer
They had a momentary chance just a little split second of an opening
The respawn arrives in time in a 15 still 1-1 man City in the box
In the moment with two game wins to their name the demo comes through
Control there. This is what I want to see down the other end from Gregg is actually hasn't quite worked out for Man City
The control though they're looking a little bit more comfortable when they are in defense
Yeah, I think so.
We've seen this pretty good side struggle to put up the offensive capabilities that I assume that they can feel that they have and resist.
You can just wait and we've seen this sort of go awry a few times.
That bump goes really in favour and the bar by stunning dump.
Two commit but resists and the four momentum with the two defenders coming across laterally.
Only one side wins there.
With 50 seconds, pretty good, get the lead.
important game when you can't get there so otherwise they're gonna have to look at a
potential best to seven reverse sweep but that was a poor touch in defense from
Seiko we're in for the air dribble he just had to get that to the corner to
safety and pretty much got dunked into his own net so we do see just the scoreboard
kind of turn around a little bit from the first couple of games it's been ten shots
now the likes and gritty goes man sitting only three shots on the board so
since that early pressure and their goal really just struggled to find anything
down that other ramp but Akro is opening in sub-tops with low boost does well you
You want me on that, Crow?
Vigilio before being the star playing out for Man City
with our tempo, what is that?
Forget about that, Crow.
The world champ's here.
Oh my God.
Get absolutely disrespected.
How is he red bad?
I was gonna freeze Rizzi's hip and I can't,
but Seiko says no.
How is he red bad?
How is he red bad Rizzi's off the backboard?
Has gone to clear it to his own corner,
hit the ball backwards, Seiko's behind him.
Pre-jumping, just reading exactly where they're going, they're all over it.
Maybe the last chance of critic-oops to steal this one.
Oh, Man City, you feel like they're just gonna win off that play alone, but Docks,
you know what, overtime now, just to collect themselves, so Joe is absolutely feeling it.
Rezears, reset, over one, they've double-committed Man City.
It's gonna be a last chance, no, they won't, overtime again.
I don't think Seiko had any idea he was about to score that way.
I think he just thought, I'm gonna tackle him, I'll see what happens, boys, I'm off.
And then it suddenly flames in the middle of the screen.
Don't get this so good.
I didn't love that play.
Seiko now wanting to prove that was not an accident.
Nearly the acute angle double tap.
Lerd in on the backboard.
Edgeby can't get that next touch.
And you see now, Man City, they start that Babel swarm
that they love to do.
Top slow boost with a 50-go towards resist.
Bind's not quite the barber.
He ends up actually going back to his own half.
Accro.
Up a one or two.
Nearly that double, the barber.
Again with defense.
Man City pressing.
Series is just low boost.
Tox throws himself.
That's a bad play.
But Barba now under pressure.
But Tox, that's rotation.
Beautifully.
He knew that he made a mistake.
He made up for it.
But they're still under the puff.
Back post by...
Seiko is unbeatable!
Cop that hat trick!
Man City 3-0.
It's the offense.
It's Akro.
It's the shaft of the spear.
And Seiko is the pointy end
that goes right into your ribcage.
An incredible performance from City.
I love to see those two link up.
And it's a wise smile from our world champ thinking,
yeah, you know what?
Didn't really mean that.
You didn't really know that that was happening, to be honest.
But, hey, we get the deal.
Look at the cheeky smile from his sayco.
I mean, GK has to be watching this, going,
what on earth will we be thinking?
And Tempo's been fantastic individually.
But that team completely bomb out while the guy that has to hop over,
but the finished Boston thinking, didn't play too bad individually after one day was kicked,
finds a new team, finds Tenpo's old team, and has put up 7-28 points on a playoff Saturday.
Looking fantastic. There's a hat-tree. I mean, he's in victory form right now.
The victory form for him, in terms of winning the World Championship.
So he's got a little bit more than he can do.
They tell you what, mate, pretty good.
So does he want to deal with what to do with him at the moment.
Nah, Diver Cross is just like, he's just going to be like,
oh, I didn't mean that.
Sorry, mate.
Sometimes you need that.
You know, the confidence, you think this is happening.
If you play confident rock, and that's what he's doing.
I mean, I mentioned peak career form.
This feels like when Seiko first showed up on the scene
as rookie endpoint days, when Mets are in a relating wave,
picked him up. He's just taken his ears by the scruff of its neck. And now we're looking
at a potential reverse sweep. Well, the only option right now, I figure, to use is a reverse
sweep. It looks a long way away. I guess it does.
The thing is, it's such a shame that, you know, we're just sort of, we have to say that Man
City are actually being the better team right now. It has been 4-2, 2-1, and an overtime
I mean, it's been a very close individual game series, but to me, it just feels like whenever there's this city pressure,
Gritty Goose, they flap. They don't know what to do. They can't quite figure out how to get out of that defense.
They never know, and then they do, but I don't know how much agency they sort of have in that.
They've not really got a plan going forward. To me, it feels like City's got a plan that they are putting forward,
that they are wanting to attack Gritty Goose with, that is not what Gritty Goose are able to deal with.
I don't know what they can do from here.
I don't know what the, what the,
what Castle's going to be able to say to them.
But Man City, they lead 3-0,
one more to win in the Coliseum
and now they'll be going through to the lower corners.
Yeah, I mean, if I'm Castor, I'm thinking,
guys, that game should not have gone to overtime.
Seiko, as you can see with the,
with the reaction on the play again,
he didn't mean it either.
And they did have more shots.
They had more pressure overall.
The overtime certainly wasn't going their way,
But up until then, it was a clear shift from the first two games.
You've got to keep building on what they produced in the start of the game.
I mean, that was the most even game in terms of ball possession and field
domination. It was a near enough 50-50 on both sets.
The other ones have been a 5% swing either way, so separated by 10% in total.
It was very, very even. It just comes down to sometimes,
there's moments of, quote, luck.
Like, you know, the more you practice, the luckier you get.
tight fight. Yeah, he's he's been around for a while now.
Seiko was once a rookie now an absolute feather world champion.
Sometimes you just need the ball to fall your way.
Sometimes it just feels like your day as well.
Speaking of edge, he almost made his game for his own, the solo.
It's a nice pop from Seiko.
Look at the boys, the precision is over.
But Barbario is beating one, beating two, 50 on the last man back forth.
And to be looking pretty strong.
And it just felt like in that overtime with us or in that timeout,
Just the, the, the, the Gritty Goose, they just looked a little bit rattled with the playcams and
I mean that is what Seiko's doing to him on the pitch.
I mean there's moments of magic I think on Gritty Goose have to come from his ears.
The amount of high-level plays he's been on where you think he's in an impossible position
and then all of a sudden he whips out like a bullclaw, double reset, air dribble into the opposition's net.
And it, it, he, he has to be the guide. I've seen him in defense being that guy,
Not principally, a lot less so. Segnar on a 1v1 burst, Tog says, no, you know what?
I don't fancy that. I'm going to the side wall like a free-styler.
Would it be the right option? Not quite, with all I can say.
Still the right choice though. He just recognized where the space was,
so I'm all in that port time for his teammates to get involved,
help out on the attack with him as well. So, just a smart play again.
Right decision not to take the 1v3 straight on net. Here is Akro.
His space back left. Once again, they just recognized where the space is, man.
So, they realized pretty good weren't looking to attack.
so they just wait, they draw them out, and all of a sudden they get a shot on their third man.
So they're looking like the smarter team and perhaps the more bit locked in or settled,
composed team at the moment. And Capote have a good way to put it. I think that
good excuse to me, they are plundering somewhat. They aren't fully confident. The play like that
is a lovely pass. I actually don't think HV could have got a good shot on target there.
So I think that his miss genuinely worth the libero. I think that he's thinking,
if I do this, I'm just getting dunked, he's going to fly right back to our end. I'm just going to
to send a battleboard then look at the continued pressure the city have got
because he didn't just send it mindlessly into the defense I like that
and Seiko now can go for an edge. I think you're his PR manager I think you just
completely fluffed the top left corner right there by Kona. They were able to keep
pressure on it's kind of either it's perfect I'm with you on that it's
idiot with a perfect shot all they keep pressure on it's it's just it's better
than just trying a weak shot in the middle of the net and then they lose
pressure completely pot yeah see for his ears can create some magic down the
the other end overall though this has been pretty dominated by a man city still
been four shots to four and there's a little bit of space acro a double commit
there with entry two minutes left he does find a way out but it's a slow pace
and he just see Rizzi is backing off it's giving him a little bit of control on
ball and stealing that right mid boost they just look like they're struggling to
find their way through here pretty loose mm-hmm there's some space for talks off
the roof doesn't get it to work. I think every time that we've seen
Gritty Goose have a chance on net.
They've taken the first opportunity.
I saw Razia's do a bit of a disappointing shot earlier.
We've just seen Tox do one again.
Suddenly, then that opens up a little bit, and then you can find, shoot, shoot, shoot,
oh my god, shoot, let's get a shot on, let's get a staff up, let's get plus one on a staff.
But there wasn't much ambition or love in any of the plays they've done
when they've done all the effort to get down into that final third.
They didn't have that little bit more time in, they've not put a bow on it.
That's a little bit of a frustrate, yeah, we can see.
You see the other side of things,
Edditsaker right there,
the man city approaches for the other side,
and they're just hitting it in the space,
and they're just trying to basically
draw this pretty goose defense out
while they're setting up on the backboard,
setting up in there.
What are the good we take?
Well, excuse us.
Okay, we get so many, what can we do?
Whereas, pretty goose, we're gonna get one,
let's just have a shot.
That's the difference, I don't think these teams.
Which is obviously quality over quantity.
It's gotta be tough to really get that one through
If you're just slamming shots on there the first crack that you get at it and Gritty Goose right now though
found themselves with 40 seconds left, done a 40 seconds left looking towards an Oath Tom
It's a great chance, it's been a different story from the first three games as well
Stumpy were Gritty Goose have scored first, maybe Ben City getting nervous, they haven't just seeded yet
Yeah but if we see Gritty Goose score first, you know that there's going to be some silly last second goal
that City do end up funding so it's not too bad
Unless it's a 0-4 green goose at which point, I don't know what the universe would do.
14 seconds, midfield with Barba against one dunk, Seiko, Barba cross,
a cross central, leaves Tox to attack.
The final man is a quick idea to go for the bump,
but the Barba is lured into that,
for a lesson goes to Corner with it, perhaps a round, Seiko.
Intelligent again, drops it low, a nil-nil overtime,
a potential sweep, or the first brick laid on the reverse sweep.
Over times of well obviously all gone the likes of Man City has ever dropped a KBF above us
That's quite get the touch that he was looking for but does lose the 50 backers is gets up possession toss get dusted
So you can see acro involved the dunk comes through as well
It's acro turns from that front left boost that he didn't quite screw buffers is actually did be to it and
Could he do is able to find a way out in fact man city
I'm back all the way in there and I nearly got punished for it
The good drive across from Seiko, potential blinds, Baba Baba didn't quite see him. Can't get the skin from Edgy.
First 40 seconds, doesn't even have even pressure both ways.
She's got a lot better game I think from Gritty Goose.
They've not managed to get the goal at all, but they've had that continued pressure at times.
He's still been a lot more rare than I think they would have hoped for.
Okay, lost a lot of talks out of the way, so Razir is going to be taking the mantle of taking the ball away.
It'd be a pop out of a barber chance to shoot goes high. Who's next to it?
But Baba again resents to receive beats edge big.
Seiko does not make contact.
In front of Tox and a continued chance does not go the way of the geese.
That should have been a goal. Tox was so slow to follow up.
I don't know why he felt like he was right there to answer,
but kind of was just weighty reacting.
Instead of being proactive in that situation,
the shot comes through Seiko.
That would have made the save man city all of a sudden really under the pump
And that's nine shots to four just from this overtime that put five on the board here have the gritty juice looking fantastic
But I've got to get the job done and will they overcome it?
That's the question you'd see but Barvin are they getting demoed say go funny space acro still being an absolute pass first man
Andrew will come through say co looks for the dunk trust do it on himself
Acro is throwing himself last man say guys the back off and raziz gets a little bit of space to work with I like that
Cut from Resis, HB though, he manages to read it, does get our way into the corner, but
low boost, it has been a premium in this overtime, all of City, low.
But Barbaton's away from Toxville, all of Midfield's scramble, and flick it into the
corner, but that gives time to City to regain their boost, very poor from the Geats.
I love that, I love that from Acro, he just waited and said someone else take it, I've
gone boost and loser 54, he goes look over a free flip, what he has done, he's found
that front-left boost, Pox is low, finds the dunk. Akro should be able to find his way
out right here as he has rippin' around one, Bababa. Just gonna wait and play the 50 game,
popping it up. Usually the first man on the scene through this midfield has been Man City,
but Bababa's actually done pretty well here, just staying around. He's got a lot of respect
from the Man City defense, so he finally leaves the ball. I mean, they might have thought
his level moves anyways, but not too much for third from him, but Bababa really must
make them double think what that actually meant. He did brilliantly with low-boost.
HB midfield. So we can get the reset here, does so. Flicks it down towards Akro, shot
on target, but for Farber, quite easily saving it away. The double demo, Akro and Topps both
trade a brief 2v2 for a few seconds. Seiko can now receive a reserve. The man are holding
the magic. Is he able to sprinkle a little bit of it on the Colosseum? Not quite.
We just have to go along with it. A heat check doesn't go as far as he would like. Akro
no contact in the center, but Seiko, a light half, maybe I'd have to go back forward, but
just keeps that control going. It's a long shot. Why the chance there for Tox couldn't
quite take it. Yeah, there's little gap in the defense there in the structure of Man City
and they haven't really been put under pressure so far this series and we did see them crumble
a little bit in their land appearance back in Copenhagen when they were put under pressure.
Obviously that was with tempo, a slightly different roster in there and Seiko has a
a little bit more experience in these kind of situations,
but I'd love to just see if Gritty goes cool,
get this win and start putting this man to the team
under pressure, they might crumble.
They might be able to turn the momentum
of this entire match, talks with space, popping it off.
So you're gonna just try and follow this one,
Resist sitting pretty close,
and you have to find the right touch,
and this could be big trouble,
this could be big, big trouble!
Agro, off the ceiling, four minutes,
come back in the back of the net there, 24-0, sweet.
4 minutes, 4-0, goodbye Gritty Goose, the lower quarters go to Man City, they're going to be playing the loser of NIP or Whip Esports
and they have absolutely whipped Gritty Goose into shape there, a brilliant performance, another sweet CJ, feeling a lot like Group B out there
They just got jammed up in that corner didn't they Gritty Goose?
Razirz was close second man and you just see they thought hang on maybe I'll push up as well all of a sudden
I'm completely out of position and acro with my man low boost in the corner just found a little corner
ceiling pinch in the back of the net you could see the greens on the faces there
oh man see they'll be happy with the sweep because it did feel like if they could just get one win
pretty good. So a little game went in and overtime could shift things, but it wasn't the case.
Yeah, and I think the pretty goose have got a lot to build from here, but I mean,
that was not the performance that they wanted at all against the city. Every game,
pretty close, a couple of overtimes. Only one game going to more than two goals difference.
It's a shame that they just couldn't hold on to the few leads that they managed to actually get
at any points in general. Well, it was a great win there for Med City, but after the break,
We've gone by town.
He went for a Xana against these four-in-the-wield champ team
like F and 54 with Dorson.
Don't go anywhere.
It's going to be a doozy.
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
L.A.s can be a big test for a young homeowner
turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full, they go to the overflow lot.
I heard him.
I was right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars.
Progressive can't protect you from becoming a parent's but we can't protect your home in auto when you bundle with us
I think you might have brought the wrong car. We had the red convertible
I'm in shock, yeah
You're bad
I'm in shock, yeah
You're strong
I'm strong
I'm so lonely
Before it's good, it's gotta get worse
And sometimes it's gonna hurt
If you're ever gonna get that bad
Then you'd rather be ready to tell
I love you
Get it all done
I
The first match of the day concluded and it was a quick four game, got two overtime's
and they're almost got kind of one extra game there for the price of the four, but it was man city top to bottom in this one
I'm joined by edge be so congratulations on the win big strong sweep great way to start off the day
I gotta ask is a series goes on like that one of the vibes like on the call there for man city
And is it different than when the series is like super back and forth?
I mean that's pretty good. I mean we feel confident
and we have great vibes together.
We vibe great together.
So I mean, yeah, I mean, we just felt good.
You looked good too.
I mean, what's it like playing with Seiko?
What he's having a series like that?
And he like, what did you guys think
about the dunk off the back wall?
We were on the other channel and we were like,
what is happening?
What are we watching here?
No, that was unreal.
That was actually like insane.
We're literally laughing like what are you even doing there?
But I mean, yeah.
I mean, the second was amazing play.
I think so much experience and I honestly think
that's what we needed.
Well, it's been, whatever you guys needed,
you're getting in here as Man City's having a great season.
I gotta ask, do we have the replay of it here?
Is this, yes, we're gonna watch it again.
That's the incredible moment here
for the people at home that missed it.
We'll see it again on the top 10 tomorrow, I'm sure.
How's the season going for Man City
compared to expectations you had?
You know, the seasons, the beginning of the season,
you've formed up with these guys,
you've got thoughts on what your expectations are, what's going to happen in 20-26.
Are you meeting those expectations? Have you surpassed them? Have you not quite reached them?
How's the season going for you so far?
Oh, I mean, my own expectations surpassed them by far. Last season I got two top eights,
and now I was one spot, I was in a tiebreaker for a major, and now I'm in a good position for a
major so big improvements and shout out my team because they are the goats.
You guys are heating up at the right time too Paris is just around the corner excited
to see you guys there hope you guys make it congratulations on the win we'll see you tomorrow
for championship Sunday.
Thank you.
All right man City with a quick win gritty goose good performance from those boys this
weekend but that will be the end of their road man City will wait for the results of
of our upper bracket quarterfinals to find out who they play on Championship Sunday.
But, Edge B had a good series, Akra had a good series.
Guys, let's talk about Seiko though.
What was the point when you wake up and eat this morning?
I love seeing players play completely without bars.
But you could tell that he was feeling it.
He's done it. Him and Akra had this incredible synergy today.
And Akra, despite the fun that you know, he has been...
He's definitely in the conversation I don't think for.
Wow, look at this incredibly flashy player.
He's getting to that point. I feel like we mentioned him more and more often as we go on.
And then the laughing at that dunk, I was saying, I'm in the green room off that gay.
I was like, I'm so happy that I said that he didn't mean it when he clearly didn't.
Cause there's nothing worse than thinking that the player did mean it.
And then I've just, you know, said to them, oh, you know what? Sorry guys.
I completely removed any of your AFC from that goal.
Yeah. He proved it.
And that, but yeah, I mean, what are our big takeaways for gritty goose in this,
this event CJ do you feel like
they've gained aura? Do we have
more question marks about them?
How do you rate them?
I like the look of the team. I think
we mentioned at the start of the series
something when you look at their stats though
they're kind of just eighth across the board
individually as a team as well.
So that kind of feels like that's their cap
at the moment in a top eight. It was
credited to them to make it out of the groups
to make it through to the playoffs.
But they need to find that extra 5%.
the high light reel, you know,
Rezeus is getting a number one play of the day.
They've got the talent, but it's in spurts.
I think overall, Man City just dominated the pitch.
Like, as you said, Stumpy,
they weren't just shooting for the first time
as Gritty Goose were, they were really setting them up,
stealing boots, doing the little things, and being patient.
Yeah, Gritty Goose, I think there she was,
they almost seemed surprised when they had the moments
that they could actually shoot on target.
They, overall, all of a sudden like,
oh my God, we're not in defense.
Oh, there's a ball there, oh, there's a net,
I'm gonna hit it.
and they had those moments
who just like, look at us ahead at the net.
It's not gonna work.
The defense from City was far too good.
They had much more of a stronger game plans.
Four-O, I think, unfortunately,
suited that series, even if you look them
towards the goal difference per game.
City were just a cut above,
and yeah, going through to the level quarters.
Yep, they have made top six.
We'll see them play tomorrow on Championship Sunday.
It's time to move on to our other lower bracket match.
This is also an elimination match.
the Rocket League champions of Europe,
your team Vitality coming in defending that title,
taking on K-Dub Corp Zen,
going up against two of the players,
you won world championships with here, what a battle.
This is so cool.
I love the fact that K-Dub called the bag.
This is the people's team.
I think Gritty gave us, if they got the chat vote,
honestly, K-Dub caught win the chat vote
as well against the reigning.
You open four champs, looking to go back to back.
Alpha 54, the bead is a little bit more,
Well kept. You could say something that we saw from a photo on social.
Can we just talk about the history he's got in this picture with him
sitting in the Vitality chair, the chair from the organization
he won a World Championship with, and then wearing the FC Barsajers
in an organization from back pre-COVID that he played on.
How long Alfa's been in the scene here, Stumpy?
It's like this picture tells the tale.
Yeah, and then also you can add on to that.
The team that he is now playing for, K-Dop Corp,
taking the name of a previous Vitality player.
But the ladies just keep going with also then parodying a French. It's it's everywhere
And I think everybody is gonna be very excited to see
How much of that world championship? I'm gonna fill this question to chat
How much of that world championship was alpha and redosin and how much of it was then?
It's hard to make a it's hard to make a rating when it was a foro just wipe out, you know like it's like
Well, they're all doing so well here, you know.
They've still got the Vitality chairs as well.
This is, I mean, it's so cool to see them back.
I mean, it's showing up as well.
Two events in a rotate, of course.
This isn't just the one and done of Flash and the Pan.
They're showing that they are a consistent team.
They're taking down a GK who made a major
and then look to make an upgrade off that major performance,
getting her in a seco, picking up tempo.
So this is a serious team.
They're playing Vitality that is looking unbelievable
outside of their first hiccup,
instead of against Ninjas in pajamas.
was that they were on a 20 game win streak, something crazy more than 20 game wins. Okay, 17. It was
ridiculous. Open four was fantastic from them, but they did lose to New Zealanders. That's not
going to worry them too much. I think they should have a comfortable win unless there's any, you
know, deep, I don't know. It's not deep end. It's just like, well, I can't lose to the old boys club
that have, you know, semi-retired and then they're back in the likes of L54. I think that like,
Like, we need to be extremely clear here, as you were saying, that Kedokup are a really
serious team.
Yes, they have a silly name.
Yes, it's two-thirds of an old Vitality roster.
They are currently fifth in Europe, tied with Toad in the Hole.
If those aren't two serious names, I don't know what to tell you guys.
I mean, and as you say, it's like two-thirds of an old Vitality roster.
It's two-thirds of an old World Championship Vitality roster.
And not like an old era, but not that old.
like a new era vitality world championship roster.
Back to land winning roster, spring major in Boston,
all the way then to the world championship.
Like it's an incredibly serious team,
vitality they're on this upswing, but it's an upswing.
They haven't been that number one team in Europe
this season or last season.
Like this is close, right?
Like I feel like I'm not tasting
because I've taken crazy pills there.
I think this really could be close.
And now for like talking individually as well,
he's looking fantastic.
It kind of felt like he was he was dropping off a little bit
He took a little time away from the game and now I think that's just freshened him up because that the mech
He was pulling off in open four. He was looking like prime world chance vitality
Form out for 54. So if he keeps that up, they can test vitality vitality should win this
But it'd be I don't say it's embarrassing if you lose
But it definitely is embarrassing if you lose to K. Don't call the team that's unsight kind of havin fun
And they found their way into a major contending position
We do not talk about like that that there is I think I think honestly for any team that has rato. There is a
Mental buff for their team just because a you have rato and he's such a good vibes on the team
They're gonna they're gonna be in a good shape right and be that the teams like we can't we can't lose to the jokers man
We can't lose the people that'll laugh they were laughing our face before even started playing
You know and then you put on top of that like the I've got to be by former teammates five that happens anytime people are playing
their former teammates. There's a genuine upset potential here for KDUBCORP.
I completely agree. I really do. I think that we saw just how well Redosing did when
he joined the NIP roster last season. The way that he managed to elevate Oski and Nass
when Atachi was taken off that roster and then took them to a major was it was fantastic.
Like, yeah, I absolutely think that KDUBCORP have got a chance here. I want the chat vote
to be close as well because we've spoken a lot about them but Vitality, as I said, it's an upswing,
they're looking incredible, they're currently the best team in Europe, they are defending
regional champions but they are fallible, like there are holes to be exploited and if there's
two people that know how to exploit what Vitality do, it is alpha. You think so, Sin?
Especially when Xen is back to looking like the best player in the world and now he gets to come
up against two guys that know him better than nearly anyone else given that they want a more
championship with him. I think there's this some counter play here also I think the fact
that they're unsigned there's no real pressure. It helped them against GK for sure when the
expectations were as high as when GK run to the pump and now Vitality you can even see
in the huddle their wave they're kind of laughing they're up and about but you still have that
little nervous like haha yeah let's beat these guys this would be easy but in the back of
mind you're thinking this could go very very wrong very quickly.
I really I really want this so I let's just let's just play game one
I feel like for both teams game one is gonna be a kind of big that they're gonna get to like shake that
Whoever wins game one because okay cool
We're fine
You know what the other teams looking to kind of deal with it in all of this I feel about I'm seeing the negative space
I'm seeing the player. We're not talking about here
Matt says watching all of this drama and fold around him all these players that have all these kind of extra
Stakes involved in this match just being like I'm sailing free. I just get to I'm surrounded by great players
They're gonna help carry me through the situation and if I pop off. Oh my goodness. What a moment for me
So I'm really excited to watch. I think he's part of the plan. I have my eye on the most in this match
Let us know your things gonna win at home something who you got after all of my talk
So big enough K. Dot corp. I am I'm gonna go with them because I do okay
Oh, wow that there is this chance for the upset. It's obviously gonna be an upset. It'll be a big upset
That's just you know, you have that feeling the itch. Yeah, yeah, your eyes
It's like, oh, this could be it.
This could be that one.
And I can't wait for it to be a clear 4-0 sweep
in favor of Vitality.
But I'm going with K.Docup.
You've fallen for the romance of it all.
Give me Vitality, then come on.
I mean, how do they lose this?
Well, they can.
We've kind of talked about how they could definitely
lose it, but Vitality, they should win this way.
No, I got Vitality in this one, too.
It's a boring answer a little bit.
But it's also like, I don't know.
There's something that's not boring
about seeing a team that's got Zen.
That scene vitality really be strong again.
I want to see them back on top.
I want to see them.
This be a story for them this season.
They are the favorites in chat by a considerable margin.
They're the favorites on the desk as well.
But that's what makes for a good upset.
Folks, can KDOTCorp take it to the reigning regional chance?
Knock them out.
This is a knockout match.
We will not see Vitaly tomorrow if KDOTCorp win here.
But it's a big enough, folks.
KDOTCorp versus Vitaly to stay alive in the bracket.
the world champions. Do not
question your eyes. This is
really happening. The world
champions that went and did it
all together. What the Boston
Major World Championship together
find themselves on the
opposite ends of the pitch. Game
one brought you by progressive
gives. Let's get to it. Yeah,
Everyone wants to see KDOTCorp do something incredible last time in open four.
They went to Champions field in a top eight match versus Manchester City.
Barely lost out, but they did score less than a goal per game in that series.
So the offense will definitely have to pick it up against this strong Vitality Fever.
Let's say what was truly annoying, because this is the team that is contending for a major spot.
Oh, it's there.
Put it off the post and it's going to take a long way around.
And this is a really big match for, I forget I'm called best, I'm just going to keep it
out for now, because general mates are in that upper bracket still, they can gain more points
than we do.
Two points up on the resurgent major champions.
What you technically know, they are tied, they are tied for 5th with them, because Bates
actually get that two extra points bonus that doesn't, ah, I thought that was a rake
but we don't see that with the rankins yet, so technically they're already tied there
with them, they're tied with Totenhoal as well for fifth place right now so, and based on the
mates, if we know that they can win this entire open, then like you've got to keep up with them,
so this is a two-point match for KDOT4, but they want more throughout this weekend.
Yeah, we expect to see KDOT4 playing a lot of defense. Whenever they go up against
these top teams they've had to play a ton of defense so they're just going to try and hold out against
like how do you get those counterattack opportunities but if they make some big time plays like that by
Alpha off the crossbar maybe they have a shot but another shot on target Rado on the goal line is
turning away. They've already got five saves over on Caleb Crop. We are not two minutes into this game
Camp Rado falls the first save here comes Alpha! Trennepo's behind Tessie! Doesn't work! Second shot
I think that was going to be wide anyway, an exotic guide to that ball all the way.
Says that was no worries whatsoever. It's our time to attack it again.
Hey, get up, Perkbeau. Get two scoring opportunities there on those plays, which is a good sign, because again, they're going to need these counterattacks.
They're going to need to do each time versus the flexibility.
See what Mr. Scott here's going to throw it up high.
He's going to wait for Outlaw. He's going to be patient.
Waiting for Zen. If Zen's in the air, you know it's going all the way across.
Rado though, it's one of my teammates during the fight.
Yeah, but I think Kiko got the perfect answer.
To be honest, they've got Rado.
Captain First Man Challenge, he's going to be sending it every single time.
Zen will, I think, struggle for space and time in this sort of lobby, although...
We don't wither on that position quite so often.
It's a low boost, just wants to try and force a missed touch,
so then he's trying to go up the backboard, avoids the demo,
has now reset pass one, Rado turns, that's playable for Stuttey.
It's on target and there's no way for Mitzer to get back.
Yeah, Mitzer begins his play with the boost,
just kind of throws possession to Zen.
That is not a player you want to get possession to.
Zen makes it work, bring it all the way down the field,
turns it into a pass for his teammate and Vitality.
Up 1-0, but there will be a pause
because Zen is having some issues with his microphone.
Unplug it, re-plug it, also it's...
Always. They've got everybody around to go and get that.
So obviously the goal is going to stand because I don't think Zen's going to turn around and say, well, actually,
they'll be all good with that and we'll get in nice and quickly.
But this is a bit, I mean, it's nice that we can sort of now start speaking about Caleb Corpaz.
All right, this isn't just a fun one off story, which does tend to happen over in this region.
We go, wow, that was great. What they're going to do next.
Oh, they've actually even qualified for the event.
Okay, really feel bad about actually getting invested in that team. No, they are a top-top team
I've got them sick from the region right now. Yeah. Yeah, isn't good enough though. They want fifth at the very least
Yeah, everyone wants to go to the Paris major. Obviously. That is the big one
So Rado and Alpha they've been on the big moments before they've looked good, too
Everyone talks about Zendr in that world championship their teammate even said Rado should have won that MVP for the world
So Rado knows how to perform when the lights are the brightest.
We've seen this plenty of times before, so just need some upsets.
Some small upsets here. Well, this one would be a pretty gigantic upset,
but you guys have how vitality has been playing.
But still, you just need one or two, and you can make it pass.
Might have 17 main event when games in a row, I bet.
I mean, it looks like you're trying to start another streak.
Or you're looking good for it. They're on three.
We're going to be looking for the fall because we're winning this one.
Zen against the challenge.
Just no a messed up owl.
Yeah, slightly heavy-touched by Alpha.
So Zen just meets him in the air and he was right to exotic
and has been looking on fire until he has a blade.
But because by chance, he finally used that EU number one.
They did finally lose.
But they're still considered like the best team.
They won open four.
They went to a Grand Final well.
So they're in the conversation at the very least,
which has not happened in the past two years or so.
It's always been the K-Gorbs story.
Vitality's always two or three,
but now Vitality has a claim to be the best
in Europe or best even the world at times,
which we love to see for Zen,
because obviously the casual audience
with the fed watches, they know who Zen is.
They want to see him on top of another,
wild and net here.
Just have on the counter attack
and Vitality is in full control.
In Vitality, they've been second for a very long time in Europe.
The first place team seems to change quite often, but Vitality always seems to be just stuck behind there.
But they have also, in a season where...
Let's be honest, everything's been going a little bit wacky-wild, you know, we see OCE, three different teams.
We've got a Falcons that probably aren't going to make it to Paris.
I ain't got clue what's going on half the time in LA and South America.
Over here though, we've got one team that always makes top four, the only team that's making top four all the time.
Yeah, like, we see that happen all the time, but Vitality, that they won the open board, they know that they're going to make it in.
Here's that again, with a ton of space, going to go for the footper side, instead of just going for the air drag.
I'm just throwing it on target, trying to waste some clock now, but I'm just trying to keep it on the blue side.
He's out against a chance at the shot off the post then, but another shot goes far side and secures the fourth goal of the game.
And it's been all vitality in game one.
Yeah, this is truly dominant at the moment.
Chris, he's the player. You've got to go early if you miss us, so just put it behind him.
Four goals to nothing, 44 seconds left.
And maybe not the reunion that we're noticing out there look quite under.
Yeah, this is over. Here comes Stizzy. Reset Top Hacks!
Yeah, we're through the underdog. Alright, we got a punch in the mouth game one.
That is absolutely not happened by Talty in full control. Stizzy, what a great flip.
Reset controls it to the top right corner, and this is looking troubling for Kada.
I don't know how he's managed Zero saves in a match where I don't know if this team has done anything but the feds, is that going to count as one?
That was very generous. That was very generous.
Okay, we'll let him have it.
It goes on the last 20 seconds. A lot to talk about.
Maybe I'll get a bit more time now, just rockets off the crossbar.
You know, we've been talking all about the form of Vitality team, a bit of a spotlight as well as going to Stizzy, who is so speed running.
Rocket League Esports right now. He has had three major events. He's been to the Grand Finals with two of them.
All he's not done so far is actually win the thing.
Yeah, and here's the breakout player last year. The back when he was on Team Dignitas, a P2C that no one expected.
I don't know what to expect, everyone thought King Tassel probably not even a major team
and then they go and get the EUGC to allow that because of him.
So he gets the proof his worth now, a joint in an even bigger org in Vitality and now it's showing.
They got the reach and win it over for, they look in full control here.
Yes, they are in the lower bracket, but these guys are deadly.
No one wants to play Vitality right now.
Yeah, it's not really.
It's not Shame Eber.
NIP sort of gave us the forge yesterday that we were hoping they would have given us in the grand finals.
15 shots to six, just full control by vitality.
And we kind of expected this, but at the same time,
a lot of us, you know, thinking with our hearts,
we're like, maybe it can be close,
but so far, looks like we might be out of here
pretty quickly, Shogun.
Maybe not. That's a lot of goals.
That's a lot of replay time.
Yeah, that's right.
That's a good person.
Or say, the good news for Kempcorp is it can't be worse.
Now, try and do something completely different
to what just happened this dizzy.
Go and get that bump on the third man. It works so often
That's all that shows across the face of now. I don't know how that is squeezed this way through and that's maybe a proper K-pop as well
Zen using his jump to get down to the ground as quickly as can he gets boost doesn't have to use it just fakes everyone out gets the infield pass
Zed doing Zen things
Fantastic play by him to get my penalty up again in game two
I don't think Mitz has come online just yet.
Yeah, I would have liked to simply play the ball for a little bit more on that previous
play as well.
I don't think Zendry has to do too much for it.
Well, this time he's going for Alpha's car.
Alpha gets a stop.
He doesn't need some help.
Rado does provide it.
Well, it's all been defense so far for K.DotCorp.
Okay, I'd really do have seen something else.
Zero boost for Mitz, sir.
Also, not much time on the ball.
Exotic.
He's really lost it.
He's alpha 10 or is he? Finally gets over to him. No challenge for so long and Kedop could be got to snuck in proactive
Yeah, this is way for vitality is not working
This is the problem. They usually don't have any please but this time Alpha did he should have challenged a lot
Earlier there cuz rato he had the backup, but Alpha doesn't challenge it was out
He makes a pay he came up for it
Every time they're trying for counterattack, I think I got to have no hoops, but that's when they actually did.
But they just didn't use it effectively.
And another roll for Byte up.
Running rough shot at the moment.
Sizzly.
I'm a hoot.
Just trying to dare somebody to challenge him. Finally it comes through. Next one up is Zen.
This has been, I think the most I've ever seen a Vitality team trust each other since they won the World Championship.
Zen, I think for the longest time, just felt like he was trying to be everywhere, maybe not trusting even the simple touches, but regular rotation Zen, not everywhere, just in the right place, is working a lot nicer.
Yeah, we credit him a lot Zen, obviously, when we consider him a top-line player, pretty much his entire career, but there has been times when he tries to do too much on his teams, and it does cost them goals,
but now he has full trust in his teammates and vitality with some beautiful effects.
Yes, and at times, especially when his teams have not necessarily been performing all that great,
he's had two positions, outplayed and in net.
That was all he would necessarily do, is just try for the pinch.
It'll go up. Still yet to really get anything going. That's all good.
It's a pops it on to rato
It's the corner that boosts deals not very nice at all. Stizzy on the hood
Splicks the side realize it's pretty not gonna outplay alpha from that position. Here is getting some good fifties
Yeah, where's the bottom because this is fine. Oh, it is fire. Okay, then just a man. I
Like that fellow Atlanta baffle get a little more aggressive. We haven't seen that
Oh, that's a rato has a chance to draw a midfield but alpha has no use
So he's got to bail out.
If I only get to mid-boost, though, if there's another challenge,
I'd love to see this out about trying to get the space vitality,
making it a little bit more typical for them.
And it is showing, because vitality is having a hard time getting anything on target.
Like, at this point, but K-1, of course, they haven't really followed enough just yet.
So that's the last piece of the puzzle.
Yeah, right now it just seems like every single time I get it, as that's on target.
I mean, though, I think it's pre-jump to escape a bump,
It just so happens to be in the right spot though, he take it.
Well two goals that are deficit.
Then sticking his time, first man challenge is taking way too long right now, Alpha.
He's always third man, and yeah, he's going to need a producer to get to it, he hasn't.
Light hearted three.
K-Drop call zero.
It is all going one way.
It all began with Zen again, with the dribble plays around once, and Alpha has to make a play, and then
He thinks he's gonna get challenged. There was no one there and Alfa just throws it off the wall back into the midfield.
And a big mistake there by Tau'ni. Another commanded lead to Gage.
Eight calls to nothing. It's about to be nine.
What I'm preparing now is outside of maybe a big Alfa runaway play. Where's the goal gonna come from? It's not looked likely.
He's a bum, but he's just trying to set this one back for a double, just a little bit too
long to set up since, not going to be for exotic.
Who seems renewed as of late, a lot of question marks over him, not just last season, but
last split as well.
He's playing the best rock and figure of his career as of late, Rado goes for the back
boards, and exotic just takes the stick out of the light.
Yeah, these big field plays, although we haven't been working, but here we go, a mistake
It comes out and Alpha is there to secure it off the back wall, snizzing.
He gets challenged and Zed with a heavy touch.
And Alpha secures the call. Okay, KS, you're on the board.
I love the, at least the 10th that I've not even tried before in a few times.
Just had enough opportunities to really go for it, but Zed earlier on, if you remember,
a dribbling after avoiding a backboard bump,
as it could have gone pretty much anywhere. Alpha now, looking to try and get a second.
Or drop down where mitzvah would prefer to try and take the shot
So they go back towards
At least the second demo from zinc and they get something of enough time exotics waiting all the way back up
It's a go straight from that says dizzy not caught out on target. Anyway, and Tyler has gone
Yes, it's a garbage time goal exotic and it's trying on the ball along the team by time
to see what to do. Yeah,
two by telling us to put that
last minute of play by K.
Of course, they got two quality
scoring chances. They also had a
goal as well. So at least things
are turning around slightly for
them is better than all of game
one and probably the first four
minutes of game two. K.
Of course, they will take their
time out here to try and talk
things over to try and figure
out how they can replicate of
that last minute of playing game
two for the rest of the series.
Yeah, that's the nice bit.
They've got something to
the sense is you just write everything we are doing is not working.
They've got to, they've just got to try and replicate that.
I don't know if it's easier said than done.
But Vitality, very much in control, careful.
They've got some answers there.
Right now I think they just need to get this ball over to Alpha
because Alpha does not seem like he's playing bad at all.
I think so the score line is threatening to deceive
that he is effective on the field right now.
feel right now. He's just not getting enough time to do anything.
Yeah, I feel like you just have to get in their face.
Like we saw that play there where finally they get a 5050 challenge
in the corner, then a bad touch by Zen.
And you kind of force these errors because for so long of the series
so far, K-Dub corp on offense, very slow.
They have like one man on the ball and no one else around.
Then on defense, leaving the entire midfield open plenty of times
where they're just slow to get to where they need to be.
and they have to figure out a way to position correctly
for when Vitality does have the ball,
like look after these passes.
But for right now, it feels like K-Dot Corp
is just a little bit slow outside of Alpha,
who towards the end of that game
will start to pressure a lot more.
So they're gonna need even more of that,
not only from Alpha,
but from all three members of K-Dot Corp
to have any chance here.
There's the econ, just trying to
probably the troops a little bit.
This next one is a must win.
in the game. I'm not giving
his two cents as well. Little
bit to really work with right
now. I would like to see them
just challenge more often try
maintain pace. They're spending
so much time playing defensive
when you do that when you are
setting your goal line, what
you got to fend for the other
big thing is also vitality
maintain the pace. Now in rocket
League. If you've got pace, you
get more boost. If you get more
boost, you get more pace, and
that is just a self fulfilling
side of it though if your K-Op caught it's slowing down you're not getting the boost they're just spending
all the time really on 20 or less they could really do with at least 30 and when you have 20 or less
then Zen's got the ball in the air and he can do whatever he wants and he's got you know getting
to the final. Now five assists at this point there are two games so he's making the plays happen for
the teammates as well so you gotta be careful of that and right off the kickoff is he in the air
by himself trying to get from the middle like that.
But Fincer does challenge it early, which is nice to see.
Ryder was also on the back line as well,
waiting with full boost.
So see if K-Dop perp again.
Now, last time the play was a lot better than their first nine.
Can they do it for a full five minutes?
Stimms it back.
Now, press alpha.
Got some time.
Ryder is going hunting for Stizzy,
and Zed has to just take that ball away,
but already a much better start here for K-Dop to all.
That's three scoring chances in a row now from game two
and game 3 that K-Loss Perk has had is looking much better after the tie-down as well.
Rado has a chance here to go up on the wall, a lift news, trying to get him to feel good for some bugs.
Miss...
The Potemkin mid-surge is not able to reach it any time, but somehow gets a reader right there.
How in the world would that even work? But my Tau'ni gets away with it.
I've never seen four cars hit the ball and the ball moves so literally.
That was going nowhere. That ball was a brick.
Man, it's Alpha. Now past one, he's got 17 boosts.
How's he going to try and play this one around?
He was trying to at least look infield for Rado.
Zenz realizes he's got bit of time, man.
Rado's also realized Zenz's got bit of time.
Niceness to challenges. Much better here.
Oh! The absolute state of it!
The sweaty under-measure, zero boosts, just put pressure.
And then you get the errors, exotic with the own goal of his life.
And K-Dopcorp has their first lead in the series.
Yeah, but he got the reset though, so surely it's a good play.
Todd didn't know that the kickoff play as well, and Zen keeps it out.
Rano beats into the next ball.
K-Dopcorp happened to be a better team now for a couple of minutes.
Obviously it would have been expected to outplay for their goal,
but maybe a quick reminder of his own vitality do make mistakes as that's almost top corner.
Stizzy now tries to recycle his then can't turn off his amount of boost so it is still stizzies
Up high exotic chooses against rato close off his teammate just clears
It's a nice position here for said so she admits to trying to avoid being bumps
But this first I do like the challenges there at least forcing the play earlier from Zen
I don't think I have to get again. Here is this is playing a lot better
Yeah, my town use home to go a lot and so far it's worked out another demo here on the opposite side
The fastest dizzy after the demo is that with another assist for him, but this is all the difficult demo
Just sat watching that one from Renoshi's POV and that looks like a pretty okay clear
And so the moment he makes contact and he hears an explosion behind him
Yeah, go ahead probably not a fake that's the exact same kickoff plays they did earlier
I hope the trace to get to it
Now, are you brave enough to go? Not quite this time of the minute, there's many waits for the ball to come to him.
It's a bump as well.
Big diamond, rather than just taking a little bit of time.
Trying to look for Alpha, a bit there, but a little bit too hard to be hit.
The mids are kind of just throwing away possessions, and on zero boost though, so you'll be able to follow Alpha, I don't think.
Take control.
Is he in the midfield?
He gets demoed for his efforts, and Alpha down. Sensor's face is tied.
Okay, the flipper set for challenge low, the fall stills breaking back.
This wasn't anything else that I'll be doing about, obviously.
I'm just going to go backflip, send this to the player, as they do tend to do at the moment.
Now, see, they got Tarkus Wolder in that timeout, it does seem like demos have been the course of action.
There it comes. Oh, that's good, by anybody's side, hold off.
It's just gonna get to that, just the corner.
Rado's low.
It's a Rado.
It goes back forward, it's coming to zero, boost double tap, and it almost works.
Almost lucky to interoperate corner, but if I tell him he will get the clearing.
That's a field, the past is then.
Mixer with a big time save and clear.
is it?
Leave it, leave it something.
We should wait to have a mincer.
Prado's on the turn, he's unchallenged.
He did the skim.
Oh, we almost faced it for Alpha.
Why is doing it a lot better nowadays
of just playing the ball as it is as Alpha?
Alpha, I might be playing the ball at all next time.
His team's gonna be just fine for it, still 1-1.
No muscle in him, Kail, Cop as Alpha.
You might get to it this time.
And I hope he can cross...
Prado, this is not a fun position, my friend.
He needs some help and he's got it.
Oh, that's a great challenge there, lands on the back wall to get it out, alpha down, trying for the counter attack.
Zen will control, Rado cannot do too much about it, just as to play midfield, but great challenge is by K-Dubb, keep this close.
This really has become a challenge game.
That's all lovely, little setup!
Set, go, go, go!
And it's playing again!
Stizzy tried, I think he was going to get dunked anyway if he got good contact.
But it's 2-1 and Kato-Core are looking revitalized.
That's past five minutes or so, Kato-Core looks like they are peers with Vitality.
If not playing slightly better, they have this lead in game three,
but Vitality looking a little confused as well with some errors.
Kato-Core, they're gonna keep the pressure going, but big clear by Zed.
What can he do with it?
I'm gonna kill 20 on the quad, so dangerous it's my turn.
Of course, Zed.
That has been the answer so far.
Okay, of course.
Get a player.
Another kind of rotation.
Oh, a miss reads.
Can't be dealing with that.
Alpha makes control of the situation.
It's been all good for everybody.
And Zed has got zero boost.
He's gonna miss a flick.
Miss a point.
Whoa!
The first touch!
That second touch woke him up.
A midter, I thought he was just going to drag that ball into his own net, but he uses his
flip at the last moment to turn it away.
I'm going to say he was calculating.
I'll give him credit for that.
K.Napkorp.
Here we go.
We got him.
So serious.
A much needed win here.
You don't want to go down 3-0.
So K.Napkorp from the slash, you know, 5 minutes in this game in the last minute.
So if the previous game had looked like the better team at times, so that is all you
You can hope for it when you're a giant underdog game.
Here we go.
Maybe.
Can we get all the way to Champions League?
Now that means that I'm going to use
to only say K-K-Korea playing credit well, which I sure did do.
However exotic.
What were you trying?
That's the best that's getting me.
I don't know what the play was.
That's true.
And it was a one goal game.
That goal was absolutely huge.
Also got momentum on Kato Korp's side.
That is a brutal mistake.
Hopefully doesn't bite them.
Vitality is gonna be pretty confident.
Like I think going through the rest of these games,
but you can't be making these errors
against this underdog team of Kato Korp
where they weren't challenging for a while.
They finally get in your face
and you just kind of make these big time mistakes.
Cause we saw it even in the previous game.
Heavy touch by Zen turned into a free goal by Kato Korp.
I can't help but have to feel like, hey boys, my tower's a little nervous.
We're keeping it up with them, so let's just keep that.
The variety of the gameplay, both teams here, I do think they'll have a better offer.
That's a big something.
What's happening in the south, just powers it long, looking for a mistake.
Or did you almost provided that? That was a very, very shaky touch.
Rado, reset, looking for a challenge, does get it.
down the line I must go a bit of time, I'm so upset. Yeah do you know that Alpha
got off the ceiling that's the one thing that everybody in Gereb I believe still
knows Alpha off the ceiling is probably one of the best plays in that
position. I doubt I'll have to play a little bit defense some small mistakes
already but 2-0, I'm scoreboard, it's a little bit confusing, it's quiet in the first couple of games
I'm starting to pick it up, I've got some demos coming up on Rado as well again
Just apply pressure however you can versus Vitality and see if they will crumple.
Right now, Caleb crumple again, keeping it tight.
Oh, good demo.
Ah, bruised the bullet for Steady.
Yeah, that was a criticism levied against Vitality, especially last split where...
Yup.
Because they conceded, just... it didn't match up.
There are so many of them, blah.
Not outplays, but misplays.
So, maybe we've still got a little bit of that DNA still there.
Let's see.
Somebody has not looked that way ever since Boston.
Then, got time.
One demo.
Rattles on low versus Sola.
Mid star.
Full two players needed.
And two players were strong enough to get rid of it.
Mid zero wins that battle just barely into the bottom ring.
Now, Alphys got a little bit of space.
No, no, no.
No ceiling.
Very heavy first touch.
First touch.
Then pops.
Presses set himself.
What?
Lows the pass.
Misty makes fake out for Stizzy!
Who blasts it?
An exotic choose in the long way
because he doesn't think he's got a shooting angle.
So he slows the game up to get his team back in rotation.
Stizzy now with the full tank because of that.
Can't let it though.
Okay, then corpse right in the face of my talent.
We'll get the clear advantage if you buy it.
He's off the road mid, no one's going up, let's just take this for free.
Not the best reset in his career.
Does he?
What's the challenge?
What's my challenge? Just trying to get the panic play.
Is there anything else he needs?
He's got some time however. Nice avoiding of the demo.
He takes the low 50.
Exhaust is already pretty and waiting for him.
Two heads of the Hydra.
What's a play that would have been?
That exotic also had an opportunity, but couldn't squeeze it into that far side post, but he's got another attempt here with zero boost.
Gonna play it slow, Rattle turns it away into the corner, Kada for holding on at zero goals.
Choosing accuracy, really plaguing Vitality at the moment.
But they have had all the offense at a low boost.
Get rid of it, just fine. Two minutes left here.
Almost like something happened in the better team that's even just don't get you goals
Shot
Bullshot pass into the pool shot shot
Didn't happen though. Okay, of course threatened finally lay on that counter-attack, which is great to see
Alpha has some boost has some time as mid-serve, but it decides to play for himself
It's not a Quintet though.
Yeah, I really screwed up playing there from Alfa because that was one of the rare infields that was absolutely on.
Very rare you're gonna get those.
Low challenge from Stizzy.
Great recovery from Alfa.
Balls off the backboard.
Stizzy goes up.
Doesn't quite meet the ball.
Redotin just tries to clear it into a little bit of space.
Sends about 20 or so here.
You sit to get to the reset.
That means he leaves it for a teammate.
First decision making realized he probably taken the entire way.
This time he definitely can. He's got the boost for it. He's passed one. Now he's out of boost.
Exhausting. But I thought it was basically nothing.
And now the Carrots taking opportunity. They look for a player. But now they've got someone on the goal.
And get there! Rathgo Celio to make it 1-0.
And we see here just a misplay by Stizzy again. Another small mistake.
And this time KnafCorp makes that pay. Rathnoe top left corner.
and Vitality they're so demo happy that even when there are no boost exotic to move it up the field it turns it to a 2v1 situation
and the mistake happens on defense and K-Dogcorp has a chance to tie this series
now i'm not saying this through any sort of amount bias however you cannot if you're out of the 54 drop 66 points and win this game
that would be no that's jail you have to go to jail for that
Alright, he's up to 100 now, alright.
Yeah, he just got a save.
15 out of the pot Vitality, one last push here.
Exotic, a little bit of a heavy touch.
Alpha will win it.
Alpha versus Zen.
Zen does not do anything just yet.
Steemates up the mouse, but Vitality, you need to score here.
The big challenge by Rada when he's back up in the air,
trying to kill this ball at zero.
Exotic, can he get any quality judgment?
Zen's got a chance!
This is too advanced!
And it dropped K-Lapcorp!
That's how it is used.
Oh my goodness.
It was so one-sided.
Eight goals to none in the opening ten minutes.
And suddenly, K-Lapcorp just found something.
And it's working.
I think that something is also very much being
exacerbated by my talent for you.
Just keep making these mistakes.
Yeah, they're either trying to push too hard on offense,
they got a patient, or a bad play on defense at times,
we came up, of course, like, all right,
we can take these chances, we are good enough players
to secure these goals if you make those mistakes.
Do not count us out, we are the fifth place team right now
in Europe, and they want more.
They want to be fifth place by themselves
with two more points if they take down Vitality,
right up with the goal, he's pumped up,
and you know when he's pumped up,
the entire team is pumped up, so Vitality.
A lot of question marks right now. It doesn't look like they call a timeout though after losing to him.
I do not.
I'm just dizzy. I mean, just don't straight pass the ball.
Yeah, it's not the first time. Rado did very good with the opportunity because he had a half-open net.
Zed was coming in just off the side of his screen.
Rado did a very good job of just deciding, okay, I'm gonna add a stage or two to this out play.
As we do go over...
The France! Well, well, this serving seems very welcoming to lobby like this. What doesn't it?
This is to go on to double match point. It has become more of a series than we ever expected!
Rap Dosen! He's got number one back to back!
And it's hard not to root for these guys. Rado coming out with a big tie play right off the kickoff.
Pete's exotic. Off the crossbar and taps at home.
out for just had in series and now they lead in this pivotal game fight. They
have done that exact same kickoff three times as that's just time off the
crossbar. Shooting accuracy not there at the modification of course. Alpha, he's past one, Zen doesn't get blocked on his way through.
The vitality need an answer on that kickoff because they've been walled twice. That one is the one that's actually gone in.
on his way. Nice block alpha.
Redos and he's backwards. Every single time I see anyone that position, I just think he's
one of the, don't you dare, don't you even consider it.
Xen, which is a bit clear right now by challenge, trying to get the ball back on the blue side
of the field and then probably hunt for some demos.
They've been trying to do a few games. That's what has worked out too, I'm excited though.
A great small touch there to pass down to Stizzy.
Yeah, that was really good.
It's not taking a bit of time.
Passed one, a little bit of a dump.
And just blocks that one straight down to Stizzy,
who will not score an easier one,
by the monstrous other they did score earlier on.
So what each vitality?
They've necessarily got the shooting accuracy at the moment.
They can certainly create an opportunity
where they don't need shooting accuracy.
It does feel like Field by Tau-Di with those, like they need these confidence builders, and that is a goal that is to clean the confidence builder for them, to try and get back into this game five, obviously it's tied, but Rado goes to the bump on Zed, Zed just barely avoids it, he gets the clear piece, is he heavy touch?
Zen has got to pin it onto the side wall, he got it, he's there.
Demons come out by elbow, but too late, maybe, but Mitzer throws it deep one more time.
Zen is upfield though, no redirect from him and Rada will take it.
There's a little ever a meta game sort of forming in this series as well of Rada against Zen,
because Rada was hardly aiming for these demos, he's not aiming for it ever when Zen said he went there.
Just once the car can't be a much easier
Takes the time
Right now ball now play it. Yes
Right on the money show again. That's always
See right up to the top spot
That was one of those Alphab that's bought into the corner. Big moment in this series.
goal. Let's give you double match point. Three wins in a row for K-Drop Claw.
Well, no, I've really made something of this series. And I do think this player
right here is the big reason why. It was nowhere. He was invisible for the opening
Temes this series. Suddenly in game three, he's the best player in his team and
they just so happen to be winning. I'll be happy if he was something like that.
Got it just as close as he is. He's taking the runway round on the reset.
Send this little looking bump to his mids to his enemy straight for him.
Is he now? We'll take over control of the bunk. It's away from him a little bit, so heavy
touch back to mids. Of course, that's an opportunity to see your mids here.
With the air dribble, trying for the dump, you're not going to get it.
Just turn into a little urban air-dribble exhibition. I haven't seen really one that's
challenged the other. That pops back out. It's just going to get challenged.
Alpha, trying to spawn his way, shakes off the first bump.
Zen's gone, oh he's got the reset!
Oh, Amidstah, almost got caught with a three pill times jump.
Rado back forward, gets clipped, so instead it's Alpha.
Can't get there in time.
The campclub are really starting to threaten this.
A lot of bumps coming out, 5k left for either in the air or the ground, it doesn't matter.
They're going for the man, Zen.
the pass to the new field, Rado will get in the way, and Alpha challenges early yet again,
but Xhadek wins this one. Xhadek can't get a two player score from the bomb on Xhadek,
so Xhadek's only set left, which kind of kills momentum. Heavy touch by Rado. Makes a...
Rado is everywhere this game. He had a spin by Father Faster Player. He might be near
Yaget and he hits. Xhadek stops, keeps us at deadlock. Stizzy. Slow play going for the player,
Rado just leapfrogs him.
Rado is just yet that's how you deal with him right now.
Get rid of his car entirely.
Stizzy, looking for the outplay.
The late champ for mid-stage got a completely wrong.
Stizzy, reset.
Looks for the...
Oh!
Whoa!
What the...
Shut up!
Alpha!
Puts it into his own crossbar.
Stan takes the shot.
What was that?
He doesn't realize Exotic's on zero boost.
Exotic would have been faster.
Anyway, 13 seconds.
Stizzy, going for the player.
Doesn't quite get to mid-ster.
and skim it down the field and we are running out of time in regulation and somehow we have stayed at
one goal apiece. We have overtime. What the world did I just witness? I think it's how to just watch
that ball in front, only him doing a side flip in two minutes ago and he just watches now off the
kickoff. Zen has an opportunity off the crossboard and out by Alba to save Alba and came out for him.
It's looking for the counter attack. And they've got the whiff as well from Stizzy. Backboard,
Exhausting, he's got...
OH! BUSTEEN!
Alpha didn't expect it though, nowhere near it!
How could you expect two people to miss it?
RADO! Backboard!
MISTER! OFF THE...
OH!
Stizzy will clear the lines!
We're still at OT!
We got trauma on both sides of the field right now.
Both teams goal good opportunities.
Wasted sadness just in shot.
The double save by Alpha and RADO is for our teammates.
But by town, they're on the hunt.
MISTER, being clear from here to just get some pressure off them.
Alpha's first in the air, he's alone.
Can he go for the flicker set and set fakes it to Metser exotic low boost gets pumped for his troubles
But makes up for it a bit and we finally get a little neutral field
But it is seven years always deadly fakes out one Metsubo wins the battle afterwards is he's alone
Gotta slow it down. He gets pumped out for his efforts and came up for Scott an opportunity here
A little bit wide exotic off perfect boost timing for exotic
Looks like he knew. Looks like there's a way to turn there as that's off target.
Now the slow plays it. How on earth?
But he hold his nerve that well wins the 50 out of the fact.
Everything is over there in blue.
Rado, fake challenge. It looks like a cut of rotation from it sir.
90 seconds of OT played.
We've come close to victory, I was gonna win it.
Then just configure every way ball on player.
Well, now I probably want the ball, and now I really want the player.
Hey, something's hallowed up.
Has he already gone there?
Oh, gee.
He's not a cat.
To pre-jump that, there was demos coming out for KDAPT4P on the back line.
Makes me go, Dave Alphalo, it's just open!
Nick Nielsen on target at KDAPT4P.
That's three in a row.
Stizzy was expecting backboards.
He's 100% ready for something to be launched on there.
What he's not ready for is a little tap to a teammate.
Timeout called from Vitality.
They are facing elimination.
And Shogun, we talked about this like on paper,
we're like, this is match of the day
because it's, you know, former World Champs
playing against the one another.
But on field, we never expected this.
We expected 4-1 at most maybe for Vitality,
but K.Dot for three games in a row.
And again, on top of that, Vitality did not call a timeout after losing 2-0, and they got scored on immediately on kickoff.
And that is obviously the difference maker. It's a one goal game there as well. They finally call it here, but they have to figure something out.
Right now, Vitality is trying to demo so often on the opposite side, and it really is just not working out and allows KDuffer to have some space in that midfield and keep this game neutral.
Maybe do you hold back a day that's Vitality?
Keep everyone back and play that good pill game that works so well in games one and two.
I don't know, but they got to find answers right now.
I think that's not an easy slow game.
Like, the big difference between now and how this side is, camp club were being kept slow.
Yeah, just keep...
It's like everything has to be a fast play right now.
Just take your time a little bit. Take the 50.
I don't remember the last time Vitality accepted.
All right, we'll just take a 50, our second, I'll be faster.
It's like everything has to be an outplay.
It doesn't.
But you know, sometimes broccoli players,
you know, we have that ego.
We want that outplay.
We're telling you, you need to drop it.
Yeah, like, and that's what I'm kind of talking about
about those demo plays too.
They're always sending two men up on offense.
When it's like, just keep two men midfield.
Like allow the first player to just cause havoc.
Allow that to turn into like a flip reset
pass like after a challenge.
and then allow one of your midfielders to make the play.
Right now, they're just sending everyone to demo.
And then it's like, all right,
you only have one member back in midfield.
He has a tough challenge in the midfield
and now it's back on our side of the field.
When games wanted to,
they really were not going for those offensive demos as often.
They were just controlling midfield
and just peppering them with shots
until there was a mistake and then they would score.
So maybe they have to go back to a little bit more
of that neutral offensive play
so they can keep possession more often.
Also, just from this time, he needs to ice-redose him.
He was unbelievable that last game.
Double save when his team needed the most.
He always seems to be exactly where Vitality least wanted him to be.
He just got to cool him off a little bit,
and I think sometimes random just doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Maybe, you know, he's a fun personality.
And I think that sometimes almost, it makes it easy for him to subtract
from just how good he actually is, but seems to pick him up too better.
That is a fact. Look at the last chatmortifies last season.
It's exotic. He's got some open field, but yeah, we saw that with Ninjas in
Pajamas where they couldn't win anything and they finally get Rado and say,
oh, they're actually a contender. They took energy to five games as well.
They'll give that a world round one as well. So they were a very good team with Rado.
He's definitely a solid player and now we're also seeing like Alphys back, you know, they're all back with Mitchers playing incredibly well
So these guys are making a name for themselves and who knows maybe they won't have a funny team name
They're open six but Zen gets the early challenge here and gets the goal for a second. Yeah, that's what they they happen
I do not like that touch there for mid sir. Yeah, except when it is understandable. Just
Blasting it off the wall. No, don't do that
That's it, got fortunate too. He was just trying to put his car on the ball and it just happened to ricochet in, but sometimes that's what you have to do, just keep it in front of you and play for those challenges and that one pays off for vitality, a much needed goal for them to get the momentum back on their side.
This will be back on Mitsuris with that one as well.
I've been, you know, struggling at times throughout this series, can't afford to that right now.
But his team is on the verge of a monumental upset.
Against the defending regional champions, Mitsuris missed again!
Zen looks for the double, that people, Mitsuris needs to wake up now, this is turning into a problem.
And Zen is fully online as well. A big mistake there, but Zen with a very quick double-ten alpha had an angle, but Zen gets the dunk on him anyway, and puts it home.
And if Zen's getting online, that is not what you want for Fino.
2-0. Vitality.
Something that's a lot more simple for them, doesn't it? It's dizzy.
Just delays a few times. Couple shimmies.
Oh, man, he does have the boost for this. Oh, that reset didn't go anywhere, though.
Just needed a bit more Rado. Oh, he's got it!
Almost found that double that would have just dropped it in front of them.
Mipsa was ready and waiting.
Looking for a challenge himself. That's not shootable for anybody on his team.
The unfortunate, but this is...
Significantly better here through one of these.
Oh, we gotta say that!
And they can fit.
Such a smart play by Zed. He notices that no one's back.
I'm just gonna throw it on net.
Yeah, unfortunately barely misses, but gets to read anyway off that post.
Reaction would perfectly tough ends and that is a hat trick for Zen
without even shooting his plate
There's that same play of the kickoff yet
Again by Salty
As they almost get the block shot going in they did concede one from that kickoff earlier as well
Well, so if we are going to Champions Field, we're just looking pretty likely that we are.
And that might be a difference maker, so Nions, Dizzy, who has to go for the ground double.
In a half-minute.
Can of course make anything of this game, or have they already wasted their first of two opportunities?
Dizzy tries to find a way in.
Right now, it's looking like a forward.
See some more patient play out of vitality obviously, but the three goal lead they're probably going to just have two midfielders
Throughout they're not going to go for those demo plays because they don't have to this point
But I do wonder is that a game plan or is it just because we're up by three?
We'll see if they're likely but for this game
They're going to just trying to bring the spot down Alphonse trying to answer back with a quick goal
Okay, of course I can too much done on the outside right now
It just seems like it's too much damage to do, part too quickly.
Just a little bit of time to just set yourselves up.
You lose to you as we all get another save.
Urban, Rheem, get yourselves something to drink.
Champions field is very much on the horizon.
Bring Kato Korp and T5 Talbot.
Don't think anybody expected this.
Yeah, no one
I don't know what percent it's there with the shot attack is on the goal line
We get about how do you just gonna have to be men back that ball whenever they can
Bring this clock down about just wait patiently on that goal line for any play
Okay, we're very likely we'll have to go for a lot more tables to break this open, but they're already down
Yeah, I would not be surprised to see a ball just my counter attacking like nice potential low challenge
I'm still interested to see what Vitality we see on Champsville, because I see we saw
some quick moves out of vitality so they can kind of camp at that actually misses a wide open one
uh very likely won't matter but they scored so quickly that they could just kind of turtle up and
play defense but honestly game one to two they played more of that midfield role and it worked
so well so i am unclear if that is the actual game plan or they're going to go back to their
demos like heavy play that they showed in the later games but again once you have that big lead
We just sit behind the ball and we talk and they do it perfectly here at Vitality.
With the commanding of 3-0 to leave and we're going to go to Champions Field,
showing that I expected the series to be a little bit shorter, but we're going the distance.
Making up for it, we have 4-0 to start today, but Champions Field, here we come.
K-Dove Claw versus Team Vitality.
Three world champions, all on the field, all from the same form of team.
And even one of all two of them is gonna make it to the next round. Couldn't write it better.
So K-DOP's for winning this entire open. Does that help K-DOP's chances of being the goat again? Is it just him?
Does that help?
I think that somebody's gonna have psycho on it, but it's just that they ruin his day.
Oh man, no one expected this. We're going to champion field.
Everyone expected Vitality when this relatively cleanly, maybe at most.
But instead, Gatorapar put it into him again. Gatorapar absolutely needs this for their major hopes.
They are tied for fifth right now with the Mates who have two chances to gain more points.
They're out as of now, but KDAPKorp wants as many points as possible, so if they win this, they'll get at least two points. And who knows, maybe the Mates fall, maybe they might have played each other in that lower bracket.
I'm not sure how it plays out, but KDAPKorp wants to go on a run while Vitality, they're the open four champs. They were supposed to be here as best at this point, but it's starting to look like old Vitality.
And Vitality absolutely does not want that. They want to make another one.
You've been and done it all together. You've won everything there is to win.
Now there's only one more thing to conquer, and that is each of us.
Who is the best of the World Championship? Who has gone on to try and get themselves what they can contend?
This is not a meme team anymore. Caleb Corp are a threat.
the game. See how much how the
opens up right now. No demos
lot of midfield play, but only
half of it in, but I'm very
interested to see if that was
the call in their time out.
Stizzy again behind the ball and
exotic as well. And he was just
given to Rattle and let Zen go up
against him. Rattle, though, does
beat him out. But it's got back
him. Rattle's got those. He can
be a big difference maker in
They want it messy, they want it to be. That's just crap all the time. They've currently not got the boost to do any of those things.
As Alpha strains the Papstizzy, very difficult to see the challenge from that angle.
And we have time. There's the player come for yet again. That is going to be the permanent answer, especially from Radowson.
As Stizzy, our challenge, bits up.
Just quite happy to have got a few touches on the board as well in this game. Didn't start off all too well in game 6.
Just get him involved in the rotation. Now he's got some time.
Past Izzy. Past another. Zen's on the way. Good block.
Zen tries to go for the Alpha. He's done exactly that. Alpha's got, well, he's got a second.
Now he used that second quite well to avoid being demoed.
So far, I've been to the half in by Taliyah. He's playing that patient game.
that patient came, we saw some demos from that by Alpha.
Mitzer has a chance at a shot.
It's turned away, Rado's got an opportunity,
put him in field, said no big dunk.
Can he get it past Alpha?
He cannot get Alpha, get the double dunk.
He does really play by Alpha.
Alpha had basically nothing to work with
and two of the best players on the planet
bearing down on him.
No worries whatsoever.
Lots of time before Rado, how's he gonna do it?
Ceiling, very early, goes onto the player.
What a little switch up.
It's up.
Well, let's pass two.
Next one up is Rado.
He just ploms them all away from the oncoming pipe,
but there's a huge boost to damage right now with Vitality.
Zeng just took that corner boost as well,
so we'll see if they keep up Stizzy with the aerial ballplay,
but two meters back.
Mids are a huge save on the goal line.
That'd be such a split second call.
The moment Zeng went for the play of Mids,
Zeng changed his angle to go and try cover.
Good 50. Midsur on his way up. Beats Dizzy to the floor. Exotic's low, so it will be pretty much on the set.
That first touch from Rado is going to be very possible to follow.
Challenge Malphite. Nobody in the midfield though to take it. Dizzy's going to have a lot of time.
He's got to stand and look for Midsur. So Rado's got to do well with this.
That's exactly that.
Then try and play for a little bit of time over the top of him.
And yet again, plenty of time to work with.
He takes us to the far side, that might be it, leave it, fuck it!
The bump on the back wall, huge play here, I think it was Mitzer on Zen, watch this play right here.
Zen's got to say, nope, you do not, Mitzer also avoids the ball somehow, and K-Top Court leads in this championship game seven.
That perfect storm. What a fake as well from Alpha 54, he realized he didn't have anything from that angle.
Have I touched your back for looking for the Bunsen demos? Is that the right decision? We will find out because they've got to find the goal in the next 100 seconds of Rocket League. Alpha, into the corner.
Zen.
Just gonna leave everything for the best so awkward.
It's on his way.
Make a challenge from Radozen.
He's gonna allow Alpha to move on in.
He's gonna make a challenge.
He's not exploring the outplaying everybody here.
Off the backboard, Radozen just fought too fast in the moment.
They might have a 2v2, Alpha.
Off the backboard,
Zen not too comfortable, but does enough.
A mid-surgeon.
He also does an outfit that doesn't allow that counterattack to happen.
So get up here, keep it on the orange side of the field, Zen.
with the big clear just trying to waste time and get some boost. Alpha though reads it and
Mitzer now is going to try to slow it down in this corner as well.
Rado, he did it slow, goes to Alpha and Tata broke through the great job leading down the spot.
A little bit heavy on the jump there. Alpha caught in. Everybody in orange is down the same line and they haven't won the ball.
Zend by himself for just a second. Alpha looks for his car. He gets it!
He gets it, he gets enough of contact, Redozen bustles the ball over the lobby!
And Kano Korp have got two!
Alphonse for a routine attack, then Stizzy cannot get enough on the ball and Rato somehow finds a way to get it under the bar.
Kano Korp in full control here, unbelievable.
That's 46 seconds by Talotty, they've got to get it moving, they've got to get something right here right now.
right now, Astonix not going to get to that in time, trying to go for a block shot.
It's awkward for everybody.
Minster throws the line, Redosin claims the ball.
Doesn't clear an outplay, instead takes his time, forces a challenge.
30 seconds, Alpha into the corner, looking to waste some time.
Booming clear, Zen gives chase.
Redosin over the top, and time is ticking away by passing the Ago now.
Alpha, another big clear, 15 on the clock, Zen needs to do something,
and a big miss there, miss here.
Just waiting, doesn't matter, it's on it.
Finally has a chance with all the bumps coming out.
Vitality still alive, six on the clock.
They need a kickoff.
It's also the misplays were actually the best thing for them
because it completely ruined Kader's culture rotation.
And it's all gonna come down to this.
Two, one, six seconds on the clock.
What can Vitality cook off of the kickoff?
They go for the fake.
the ball, the flippery set,
instantly blocked challenge from Mr. and K-Up Corp.
Eliminate. Yes, I will say that again.
Eliminate team vitality.
I can't believe my eyes show again.
I've never expected this in a million years.
K-Up Corp, you're the unthinkable.
Take out the open four champions
and a top eight of results for vitality.
But more importantly, they move on in this lower bracket.
They get two crucial points and move into fifth place by themselves for the Paris.
We really thought it was going to be a nice swell time where teammates reunite.
But you see what that meant to Rada who had an unbelievable last two game or last set of series.
He was unformed just when his team needed to be.
to be. I got a clue. We're trying to show us. We've all been there gifts where we play
a ranked game and then we get the same but we get a opponent in the next game. It was
our teammate in the last one. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Go and win it. Especially if you lost
last time. It was not my fault. Red toast sin and Alpha 54 have got that match and they
They have won it.
Unbelievable.
Hashtag Zen was the problem now.
But really Vitality.
It's unbelievable that they lose this.
You have to credit to KDOT Perfault, the defensive screen.
Like Vitality, they did change their entire game plan.
But it did not matter.
Kinkor is playing so incredibly well.
Well deserved victory for them.
And they will move on in this little breath.
Yeah, we will see them tomorrow.
We will not see Team Vitehousey.
We're gonna go to a quick break when we come back.
It's Mip versus Wim.
MUSIC
Hey, the climbers fixing that burst pipe should be all set.
Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home
and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption
to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much.
I try, um, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything
that happens online.
But I totally believe you.
Life is meaningless in that affirmation.
Am I right?
I'm not.
Don't hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, galvanize.
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Michelin, motion for life.
Welcome to the end of the find.
Welcome to the end of the side.
6, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!
A thrilling second match of the day as KDOPCorp take out the reigning regional champs.
Say hello to their old organization in style and they're through to championships Sunday.
I'm joined by the man, the myth, the legend, it's Rattlesnake sir.
Congratulations on the win.
I got to take it back to game two.
Okay, the timeout after game two.
Everything seemed to change after that.
I saw you in the camera.
You were talking excitedly to your team.
What did you tell him?
What changed?
Well, I need to like tell them that we are not playing rocket league against them.
It's not because it's vitality.
We need to like stay in your net, you know, like a top and fairy peak.
No, no, no, no, no, no, we want to offense them.
So I tell them, alpha bro, do something touch and everything.
And he did it and the mother as well.
And that's it.
It worked very well, sir.
I got to say, you mega aura for beating vitality sitting in the vitality chair.
in the Vitality chair. Was that something that you guys were thinking about?
You knew you were playing this match for 24 hours. What was the thought going into the match?
Like we're getting a play against Vitality here from both you and Alpha?
I mean, for me, I don't remember. I beat them at World.
Like, I was here last season. Alpha was not here.
So, me, I know how to play them. And I think it feels weird because we did a lot of stuff with Vitality,
with them. So it's weird to play like someone who's a teammate with. And yeah, that's it.
Very sure. I do gotta ask, you changed tops for the interview here. Why have the gentleman
stopped now? This? Because I need to remember to the CEO that I am a legend of the club. So
tomorrow if they play if you play them I'm gonna remember them okay okay I say
preparing preparing for tomorrow keep the jersey on till you play tomorrow so
it sounds like you think K-Dop corp's gonna win that match then right
your K-Dop score yeah we will see we need to speak with your CEO K-Dop first to
you know to conclude the match and everything and after like we will see
we would see like we prepare for tomorrow we would see the beat and that's it okay I gotta tell you
though the whole world is hoping that gentlemates wins that match so we finally get karmic or versus
k.dopcorp we get to find out who's the better kc or do you want that match too oh i didn't play
uh in k-corp alpha tour i played in gentlemate i won gentlemate that's it okay okay this is the
Revenge to her the revenge to her. I love it. Radisson. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us. Good luck
I'm seeing you tip Sunday. Thank you a
Pleasure as always talking to the former world champ there vitality are out Stuffy. They're not gonna play tomorrow
One man saw it coming away. Oh my goodness the desk was against me the world was against me and yet somehow
I love how he references the CEO of game. I love that.
We were saying like, okay, we need the vibes to be there.
You are the underdogs. What are you going to do?
In the words of Redocin, in the natural interview that we have now had
in the greatest force in the world, I told Alpha to do a Zen touch, bro.
I don't know how you can beat with that.
like I'll just do his move against him. It'll be great. Yeah. And it was. I mean, it was incredible series. What a series. We read. I was so worried after two games. This look like it was going to be just a one sided beatdown.
down. Eight goals to one, games to one. Now it would have been significantly worse. Then
it just all went downhill. Everything changed and K-Lock call. March on to the next round
and responded so well because this could have been the back breaker for them. They got annihilated
in game six, don't they? Yet they bounced back in game seven.
And honestly, you do sort of need sometimes that kind of, I think, a bit of a wake-up
I'm not going to call him. Okay, you know, we are playing the current regional champions
we're playing world champions and I think that there's like maybe like a story to tell
here because there was a good few moments where, you know, one or two players in my
town to really weren't playing up to their standard. And I think a really good team going
forward could be because I've reduced him played extremely well for no really while
I love reducing that series. Alpha was playing out of his mind. I think if you add Zen to
that roster, but you could have one of the best teams in the world. And honestly, I
thought they could win worlds. Maybe that's crazy. I think they could win worlds.
You get everything right at the moment, Stumpy. I'm inclined to agree with you.
I'm imagining being Matzer, who's just like, just come off of game seven, win over Vitality.
He's like, I'm going to tune into the desk. I don't have to play anymore. I'm going to
listen to what they have to say. And we're over here like, you know, they should replace
on that team. I actually wanted to ask Rato about Matzer, but then like the interview
you just want a completely different direction. So we didn't end up talking about it, but
like what a performance for that young gentleman, right? Like I said, I see you as there's a
player I had my eyes on and I got it. You're talking stuff about how badly vitality was
one of those first two games. Can upcorp scored eight goals in this series. That's how many
vitality scored in the first two games. I feel like, but then you look at the actual
way that the games went down. I didn't feel like apart from that one outlier game, the
that K-DumpCorp was struggling for their lives.
I didn't feel like in a lot of the times, yes,
I can show you were in there,
but like, I feel like a lot of the time,
it was quite even in the occasional,
oh, we are my talented, by the way,
and we can't keep up that momentum.
Let's go for the three losses for K-DumpCorp.
Five-nil, three-one.
They only got the last goal in garbage time, by the way,
and then three-nil.
When K-DumpCorp lost, they lost.
They really didn't get anywhere.
Every single game they won,
2-1, 1-0, 2-1, 2-1.
They kept winning.
This might be the worst goal differential
I've ever seen on a winning team.
It's close.
It is definitely up there for that one.
But that last, the second last word is the important one.
Winning team, they have moved forward.
And with that win, they are solidly in fifth place.
Remember, top five teams go to lands.
Can KDAPCorp hold on, especially because they're
going to get to keep earning points here.
Manchester City, they're also going to continue earning points
They have not got out there, but team vitality at the top. They are not folks everybody else
We'll be slowly crawling their way up here. What a competition we have in front of us. Stop it
I'm I'm it needs you said as well
That was the Paris major if
Somehow we see KDF corp take to the stage
We've paid off as the CEO
We're reducing an alpha
World champions of vitality and mitzer one of their new french darlings coming through
the arena is going to go ballistic for that team.
That is so much love, wanting them to succeed.
I really hope that they make it.
I want to know, so obviously if they make land, they have to make a logo.
Do they just make like a yellow version of the K-Corp logo or something like that?
I'm so curious to see what they come up with.
Radosin, paint dot net, and give him like five minutes.
What will you buy?
Yeah.
No, I don't know if I'll want that across.
across. They could go with like some shades on or something massive on the massive LED screens there folks.
It'd be incredible. That's what's gonna happen. Coming down and get your tickets. If you want to watch those shenanigans go down.
I'm at this one. I'm feeling it's inevitable that they're gonna make it. Folks, we got two more matches on the day though.
And these matches, not elimination. We will see both these teams play tomorrow, just a matter of where they are at in the bracket.
Let's talk about what was the story of Friday with eSports after beating, I believe this team, Ninjas in pajamas in Swiss.
Yes, they managed to make it through the group stage, undefeated as well, and they now got a rematch against the team that they beat in five to get there.
They have yet to lose a series. Ninja Pajamas, they want that salty run by. They got their run back against Vitality yesterday. Can they get the run back against Whip today?
Whip is such a, like you say, their story starting from that Swiss. They went 3-2 against NIP. They just all snuck the win.
and in the group stage, the fact that they've managed to go through in the upper side as well,
they did dodge the extremely hard side of that bracket, then with GK and with Gentlemates,
but they managed to get through and I think that they're going to be getting a lot more
practice here now in the top eight. And worst case scenario, even if then they can't repeat what
they've done already in the playoffs, rather than before the playoffs, they are still going to be
having another life. Like this is a brilliant situation, Shogan, for all the boys to be in.
Yeah. And again, no taking away from the bracket that they got yesterday. The answer, you know, you go
free. No, you get the better bracket. You're the top seed going into that side. They did exactly
what the top seed is supposed to do. They do what they haven't swept anybody in this tournament. So
far, a whole bunch of three twos sort of in there. They had a waltz against NIP. They had it just
against Matt Magnifico, but they're doing the job that they've got to do. And they might just be
and outside. Uh, cool here.
this top, uh, huge spots. But
as the former ninjas and
Majama's guys, Stumpy, how
where is it that this team is
consistent now? I know they're
actually like really good, kind
of all the time. It just sort
of works forever. I think the
NIP we've seen them, uh, you
know, do well in these, uh, in
these regional events. It's
been a breath of fresh air when
this team and they're getting
picked up compared to their
to go through vitality.
Bear in mind to get here, too.
There was 3-1 over vitality.
That's how they got through into the uppers.
I'm very impressed with them.
Very, very impressed.
And only in particularly yesterday,
he was steadfast, a staunch 50-15 monster
that we love to see from him.
And I think teams are struggling to deal
with that level of consistency in those 50.
The NIP have got a really good chance here.
But, WIP, are they going to be able to, you know,
to continue this somewhat surprising, upset streak that they are on coming through in the
Ups.
These are the moments where you get to see genuine chapters of Rock like history get
written.
Can with start to pave that story for to have these names be with them.
We talk about every single week.
It begins right here right now.
Ninja pajamas though.
We're trying to play spoilers.
I'm just pour a bunch of ink across the page.
Make just blotted out there.
Chalice know who you think is going to win Stumpy.
You got one got one upset prediction.
Right today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep going here do I go for the double do I do I do I do I double or nothing this because this is this could be a real severe
Oralos if this goes wrong
It's all with no net, baby. I think you okay go with another upset here
Why not let's keep this train going give me whip. Let's go for it. I love it. I love it
Sorry, yeah, he's lost it. All right, you do you give this guy one little thing
It's an IP they're winning this one. Yeah, you sure you want that? It's already done.
I'd be more on board with you Stumpy if nidgid pajamas hadn't already proven once in this
tournament that nobody beats them twice in a row. They already took down Vitality which
was the honestly the bigger of the two boogeymen in their closet here. I think I got nidgid
pajamas on this one. We'll see.
Could they mate? Could not beat Whip.
Not good not but again, but they couldn't be vitality and then they did and then they did so we'll see we'll see
I'm excited. I want I want to see it go the full distance
Can whip get it done
This would be such a big story for these boys they shift cop back and talks that coming on through here
Did you be job is gonna be the favorite and chat chat has been
They got the last one wrong. They got a lesson wrong chat
Gotta gotta get your game up there
We'll see if they will see they can get back on the winning trend train right here folks
Both these teams gonna be surviving a championship Sunday, but who is in top for it?
Who has to fight to get their first thing tomorrow morning folks?
New names on the block.
Who's the better IP folks?
It's the Ninjas versus the Works here.
Let's battle it out for top four.
Well, the only team that could stop NIP in the last event just got eliminated by Alpha
54 in 2026 doesn't mean that open five will be nip's in this matchup
Well, the head to head overall is one to one this season. There's only two outcomes to the ninjas image. I was it's whip or get wins
This is game one by progressive
Let's get it going whip
Alrighty beat ninjas image. I was wants to get the easier side of the bracket. Not only did they beat them
They were down 2-0 in that series after losing a 5-minute plus overtime and then 1-3 in a row to take down ninjas and pajamas.
So they're on a 3-game win streak, still considered the underdogs, but they want to write a new tale here today.
Let's see what's here.
And followed by only shot, day shift, big save, but it's still off in the air.
Come back, gets a big clue.
He's got some skill, but damn it.
George can play things like the ball.
He's actually got the corner boost and he's got the shot on that.
He has missed the buff as well, doesn't land on Compact.
This has been a niche to Bajamas with an absolute hold on it.
He's not even a pretty job, right?
Top is not on target.
Off the bug.
He's got his half thing in the niche.
I don't know whether it's here or he had the opportunity,
and then just got a little too happy about that.
It just jumped a little early.
But this is a Bajamas.
We're just taking it to him early.
But it's 0-0 still, so Bip finds a way out.
So from what we learned in the previous series,
which looked like it was going to be a vitality perfect sweep.
You can't take too much stuff in the first couple of games,
but so far it has been all NIP.
Looking fantastic.
That did lose the previous head-to-head as Stumpy mentioned.
That guy's gone crazy with his predictions.
There's another shot on it and another save by Compact.
They had already eight shots in a minute,
20 of Rocket League to just one.
That is insane.
Let's see if they keep it up.
See, we're already going to follow it up
with another opportunity, Compact.
Turning it away to Julius.
Just throw everything on target at this point, but still, Whip is holding on.
H-Hot just means you're hurting your shoot percentage on ninjas.
You gotta find the back of the net at some point.
A center, C-R-R tries to pre-jump him, but he misses as well, and Whip in and out yet again.
Well, I think Coach LVP has whipped this ninjas team into shade for the moment.
They are so aggressive.
The bumps are coming through as well on target.
This time, I'll leave you.
We'll not make that another shot. Make it another one.
It took 10 shots, it took nearly two minutes, but they finally over the scoring.
So two minute offensive drive here that finally results in a ball, Zoria secures it,
and Ninjas kept the job done. They had to work for it, but they do get it done,
and let's see if they can get it right back on it on the ski top.
Compact's already got three saves, they shipped two toxic liners, just been,
and on slide they can't get it out of this defensive half, made it the first chance right
here Compact. He's gonna throw that one on NetJuris. For the first time, NIP getting tested defensively.
They do look a little bit awkward. This is where we do see some struggles from NIP. They're a
little inconsistent but they are all out of attack when they get going and it's great to watch.
Yeah, Compact now getting the pass up. Dacia doesn't go in. Chorus fix him on Toxic.
The Toxic got two golden opportunities. We're gonna just last half a minute. Can now score
another opportunity by Dacia. Doesn't go in. So now it's Whipster on the opposite side.
They're low firsts, they're very low firsts, compact A-shift goes on, and they shot with a gold bar down.
And what a reversal, that was six shots just then in about 40 seconds for Whip.
G-shift, great placement, barred down, brilliant from him.
And Whip was just like, we just needed a little breather and a kickoff, and then we can play some offense as well.
High swarming to Farah, maybe not high swarming, but lots of opportunities by Paul King so far.
The Tifa's holding pretty well.
We're at a 1-1 again.
Yeah, it's, yeah, 7-chosted.
I mean, what an interesting start.
It was just all that attack while playing,
and then it was Whip's turn, and they returned serve.
No damage start over all, 1-1.
You have two minutes left here in game one.
Day shift.
Let's get them out.
Compact looking at control.
Proceeding, George.
This is very obvious.
George walks it around all three.
They got tangled up in the corner front post,
and the great white made them punish.
Oh, look at that challenge.
He wins it immediately, but because it came back to him
so perfectly, Witt was not expecting it.
And Jorius just throws it towards the net, gets it all.
He's never want to send pretty much any of all
of them one player into your defensive corner.
It just gets so messy so quickly.
It did just that.
His compact, any five-day shift.
He might be able to.
Sierra had to find a clear downfield,
which is where they should be some NIP numbers down the line.
Toxic, though, has had the interception.
There was a free double that the block came through as well.
It's a messy defense of both hands.
You see even Nipestan getting caught front post with low boost
gives it's a scrappy game one, but it's entertaining.
Yeah, a messy defense there.
Keep the ball out of the net more often than that on this shot.
Here's the chance of my CRR going off the ceiling
for the redirect, but big save there by the whip and comeback.
We'll get the clear toxic versus only wins that out to Joris.
Joris, Nipfield, CRR has got the wide open net.
great long 50 there by Jorius to pass the South Pacific era yeah the big problem here was day
shift was less left third man you saw compact in the other corner grabbing boosts which
does put a lot of stress on second and third they just over committed look not really on the same
page low boost as well that's 13 shots for niff in under four minutes or off the lead get to the
lead get a two goal lead should i say and maybe a bit of breathing room yeah well sick was aerial
please come into play more often throughout this. This is an open bet again. CRR just farming points.
Get these passes out from Jorius. Get another wide open one, but these aerial challenges are
being won by Ninjas and then the challenge right after is also being won. Right place,
right time for Jorius to get that down. You know it's an explosive start when Jorius is probably
going to drop a thousand points in regulation game one. He's already nearing 900. Five saves,
There's two goals to assist, the great one is on fire, three goals required here for
Whipp, which, well, it looks doable based on this kind of play and the way this game
is going.
How is that pitched then?
It's a 50 out of nowhere.
Midz Nibbjavu is not ready at all, Tonsi just finds a perfect touch.
CRR trying to get a little too fancy on the ground there and yeah, that was a little bit
too much there by CRR.
It's just a dunk, and what if it's still like 45 on the clock?
This has been a wild game, I would not expect anything less than a 4-4.
Now, I mentioned off the rip, it's either going to be Whip or Get Whipped.
How about both?
For both teams, that's how it's going so far.
Six goals, 30 seconds left.
Stay shift, and there's a low boost everywhere here on Whip.
They're going to have to get back in time.
Compact just puts a body in the way for that in.
Phil pass off the backboard.
Sierra once again looking for a redirect coming off the backboard.
Jorius goes to that top right shot doesn't get it on line, but he's up to 900 points if you don't mind
It's not too much time left for Whip. They still need to
We sure are just a little upset if he was a part of the top 10 plays today because he's trying to make him work
Too off that Jorius is gonna get another goal here to secure the first win for Ninjas
Oh job, and this is just a up and down game by both teams
But Whip it's getting a little bit too fast for them and they're starting to get beat out of the challenges and give it up
too much free real estate in the net.
Yeah, I mean, this is, this has got to be the Rock League
Gryllburn and the Triple Dove or something.
He's just got a hat treat to assist five save seven shots
with a thousand and forty score of jurors.
What a start for him is maybe one more goal in this game.
They have another save to boot as well.
And I P get it done.
I mean, that's one way to play rock, no defense,
but all that offense.
Yeah, that was just entertainment right there.
That's what you want to see, everyone.
you know, he's one up in games.
No one wants that.
We want to see these crooked numbers
and just see shot after shot after shot by both teams.
Whip at their moments where they had
a puzzle ball of pressure.
It's just the game.
We talk about speed and you expect the ninjas
to just be faster and we saw that in the back half of the game.
The challenge game was just so much better by them.
The positional play after those challenges
was so much better.
And Whip, honestly, just gave up like three wide open nets,
Look at that, he had that really fast.
Again, just looking at that scoreboard on screen.
I don't think that it actually began to update the final save.
He actually had 11-42 with a 0-second save right at the end.
So he's dropped over 1,100 points in regulation game
one on Playoff Saturday here in Europe.
What a fantastic start for him.
They're in the dark as well.
Bootcamping, I live in Sweden at NIP HQ, LVP behind them.
As you'd see on the cameras there, they're locked in ready to go.
Sarah has changed his car as well.
He wasn't happy kids that the six redirects he went off the opponent's backboard.
Do that one in the next year.
Yeah, we'll see also those ground triple plays that he's trying to make that one
that kind of cost them one of their goals there.
But CRR is definitely feeling it.
He's feeling confident.
He's going through these plays and that is a great sign for
ninjas and pajamas here going into game two.
Yeah, I mean, whip as well.
You still scoring.
So it's not like they need to kind of break that down wall, but it's just the defense
to getting tangled up from close.
They're going to get a little bit frazzled, I'd say,
by the fact you've got some mosquitoes running around.
You've got CRR on your backboards.
You've got demos, clubs coming through.
It's a beautiful buzz, like, it's a day shift.
It should be a goal.
That's a beautiful setup in transition.
And day shift just had the defense in all sorts.
And the ball is just going a mile a minute here.
Day shift, great feint there to fake out CRR.
He had the far post that he wanted and said he goes to the feint.
He goes to the near post then.
All right?
The game speed went the same, didn't it?
Yeah, they're happy with this style as well.
I mean, probably found the only other team
that's really happy to play this way
is almost another infield.
They're ripping these passes to each other.
I love the connection that you gives as well
being an old school player.
There's nothing better than an infield,
nothing better than a team working in the Rocket League.
I think it's maybe because we had no mechanics as well
that we do enjoy the team plays, perhaps.
Would you agree?
Of course, I pass it to my team,
it's a much better interaction than me.
That is my main plan always.
Yeah, but this ball speed, in general,
probably one of the fastest average ball speeds we've seen.
I don't even know if we can track that stat,
but so far, two games one and two.
This ball is moving a mile a minute.
All games keep it up with it.
Whip has to sleep, but they gotta be careful.
It feels like normally, if this game speed keeps up,
Ninja's just gonna take advantage more often than not.
So we'll see as we continue in this game too.
Yeah, we can certainly track car speed as,
oh my gosh, that's just gonna fall in.
You can track car speed, not ball speed.
It feels like we've got the opposite of six chronics on the field right now.
They're absolutely going for it, everyone.
And this is what can happen.
Talk six zero boost, double jumps underneath the ball, just completely with it.
And NIP, they don't have to stress because there's one.
Yeah, another low 50 in the air by Minka's results in goal.
Last time he was only to Jorius to CRR.
This time in the CRR doing it there.
So it seems like their MO is go up in the air and go for those low 50s.
What's their play so far?
It's kind of look like, you know, the, I don't know, is if these two teams just size
each other up at the start of the game, you guys just want to go for it, and they do it,
yep, let's do it.
They just, they just throw a punch off the punch to each other right now, and it's,
as you said, it's great fun to watch, but I wonder who's going to shift things up, because
it feels like both teams are pretty happy with the chaos, even though it's a little
scrappy.
That Toxic is taking the slow here off the sideline.
Well, it gets the pass out.
Jayshark got no boost.
The compact, of course, is going to follow it right up,
because Whippen's going to try and keep this pressure going.
Followed by Toxic.
Another pass going for some bump plays.
Both Heaven, compact go for bumps.
Neither get any contact from Ninjas.
We'll get the clear.
And I'll play from Sierra with low boost as well.
Just bought enough time to keep the ball pinned down
with Tanda, please, for three seconds,
the way this is going to happen.
All this transition the only with the cut back to Sarah playing that first-man role looking for redirects hasn't quite got his game going
Just yet, but he's on positive for an IP they all winning without him getting those crazy
redirects that we do expect or perhaps an impactful demos compact pops the ball up
He's zero boosts like the majority of this match at least four out of six plays on the pitch
I was zero boosts because they're moving that quickly. There's another save coming through and I think reset
by his teammate, CRR, he's been up at the end for everything.
Going again here, going for the ball play.
Jorius is left alone, no vision, good catch,
turns into Toxic with the bump as well.
But Toxic with the weak shot,
cannot get it to the net,
that's enough, come back another opportunity here.
And I feel like I can talk a mile a minute
just to see all this action going on, CJ.
Just get another end, another end field pass,
coming in and we're still moving,
still looking for that shot on net,
nice positioning from Jorius is all those bombs,
They're putting a lot of pressure on one man. It's not exactly, you know, losing 50s to the guy behind it's you do everything
And I'm gonna trust you 100% doesn't come off
It's probably a goal and the other hand is speaking of a goal almost remotely
Joris with the first touch toxin has to go on pop it onto the backboard day shit there to collect as well
There is I haven't seen a fake challenge yet or even a slow solo play
This is just hit the ball and if it only there with space just throws a ground pitch on that
CRR, why not? Throw some cycles in there as well. Not the greatest one. Toxic off the ceiling with the dunk attempt as well.
Jorias is now rubbing against one of the players.
CRR, get the slow play. Doesn't matter if he gets him off back into the save. And here we go. Back and forward if you go.
Jorias with the center. No one available, finally. And come back. We'll get the big clear.
And Oli actually backs off for the first time, does he get Punisher on rotation, goes...
It's a big...
Oh, it's a...
Oli just...
He was at...
He said that's not him.
I'm not even gonna try and go for that.
He saved his own shot.
Two minutes.
What's happened?
It's coming off the post, and he saved his own shot.
And he's absolutely reading us.
What is his game play?
50 seconds left, and it's Ken with maybe tightness up.
They shift.
He's backwards.
It looked like he stopped playing, but he was just foxing them.
Ground bit comes through.
Another quadruple commit as well.
40 seconds left.
I don't know where to look.
Are we sure butchers are not on?
Are we sure it's not room for ball right now?
I'm not positive.
Day shift, chance for a pass middle.
The Holy Miss is Jorius, slowing it down, kind of.
Not really, he's just going to push it towards the net.
Doesn't matter at this point.
The Toxic almost gets buffed against the big save.
Day shift again.
Just drive forward, drive forward, bring the ball with you.
See what we can do.
1-1, we're heading towards overtime.
Unless one of these teams can score a late goal here.
Jorius, slowing it down.
now back just rushing it toxic with the shots a late touch again by him it's
denied by Ninjas. Last chance perhaps let's see it over time there's even
basket compact wrist misses everyone's zero boosts on Ninjas except that man
Sarah who launches it downfield they went over time and they will get it it
feels like even if you make a mistake yeah your teammate saying it's all good
I'm also up anyway I'll just I'll just take a point off the kickoff
Jorias looks for the silly pinch looks for the extra touch does get the dunk on
Compact day shift. Everyone's going to go for it.
C.R.R. is going to demo it as well and turn straight on ball, compact respawns,
and maybe we can breathe for a second.
No, no, no, pass midfield, here we go.
And Joris is going to throw it back in.
Toxic again, throw it midfield.
Mickey Schwartz, if that happens, the ball comes out, but no one is available.
So he's going to throw it mid one more time.
C.R.R. with the clear.
And maybe if he can breathe.
Just a great comeback for Storius.
Nope, he goes right back midfield.
Another threatening ball.
Toxic vs. CRR, neither wins, but Toxic will be back.
Oh, what did you do?
Welcome!
Toxic is going to make up for it.
CRR is going to throw it.
Man, Jorius is going to dive out of combat.
Now, these guys in comms with each other.
I mean, it's just every man for themselves.
I feel like I'm watching a 1v1v1v1v1v1v1 at the moment.
Absolute chaos, compact, reset.
One more, nice save from Jorius.
Uptop, Minicorn in over time as Toxics looking across.
I don't think the ball is...
I don't think a player has let them all go behind them once.
It is just jump and see what happens.
Fear it out from there.
They should miss.
This is the must be, but it's all good
because Compact's already up.
Only faster chance.
Toxic playing third man in his front half, if you don't mind.
Because they do get out of trouble.
There is just full risk higher reward gameplay.
That's just a tick for it.
I think we have a moment here on the TARCIC center.
So he does his center here.
Jolious!
With the go TARCIC!
with a measurable touch by him.
And centers it for the Royal team and Jordan,
secures it, and then just
win the Marathon, win the Sprint, I should say,
and take game two.
And it's a Sprint, and you can see the lactic asset building up for both teams.
We saw double figure shots across the board once again.
And just a big mistake.
They're not looking to keep control.
They're just looking to hit the ball, follow it up,
play as quickly as possible.
It's going to lead to openings.
and our key capitalized but honestly are the same could have won that I'm
getting too old for this I'm starting to cramp up here CJ I'm not sure where are
you where are you cramping you're just talking and still just a mile a minute
that we're going here this has been wild I don't know what is going on the one
thing I will know toxic I feel like he's not having a good series so far he said
multiple scored opportunities where he's hitting very weak shots I believe I
counted three or four and then right there like in overtime the fitness
play happens and it's just brutal from Whip. They're trying to keep up with a lift and they
aren't doing a great job at it but it's just not enough. It's absolutely chaos and I'm
concerned about you cramping up as well. Just make sure you're not wearing the mediums and
we should be all good. We'll see though if NIP can put the foot down here and really close this one
I mean, the whip just maybe shock them with the lack of pace, just to give us a different look.
Slow it down, please. I've turned a 39 in a week. Let's slow it down, alright?
We're going to do six of Mabye birthdays next week in NA perhaps.
What, Dave?
Well, I won't be there because I'm not working on my birthdays.
I'll see you, boy.
I'll find out in 4.20. 4.20, Davey, let's go.
420, 420 baby, let's go.
Well, we'll leave it at that.
Here we go.
Into game three now is, I mean, what an entertainer.
I feel like the last series was so scrappy.
Entertain for giveaways.
This has been scrappy though, in just the pure speed of it,
rather than some potential mistakes and awkwardness.
This has just been no for it.
Two teams, as you said, just throwing haymagers.
The force of the triple even after the triple matters.
Finally, no one is there for Ninjas and they don't secure the goal.
It's like you're simply continuing to the covers of both teams and it just being everyone screaming.
Just for five minutes. That's what it feels like in the gameplay at least.
The triple commit with Joris on low boost who didn't even hit the ball and had no touch on it.
But the threat was enough. A demo comes in.
Oh he's got another bumper compact. He's flipped his way through trouble.
finds it a save. He gives Dayshift a bit of space underneath as it passes. Toxic who doesn't connect with the ball.
Oh Toxic went for the free jump. That was a very difficult play for him. I like the idea, which is a little bit off on his time.
And Jorius will get the clear down towards Toxic. And of course someone's following for an engines.
Come back though against the 22 Dayshift and now they're pushing up forward by Jorius.
This is the RR with the flipper set first. Toxic who's gonna win? Toxic because of...
Joris up soft as well compact. He's gonna be able to land off the initial challenge as a pump come through Sarah
There's he have fish on Joris could just just turn with zero boost but it's a bit for passing cross
Then I only just didn't want to trust didn't want to turn and that little shimmy on no boost
But he didn't have an angle didn't have a shot on net
These are the charm is still pushing forward just smack you the ball as hard as possible
Which leads to opening like that only top left one now pressure pressure pressure
That's all you gotta do sometimes.
State shift cannot get the touch right there on the wall,
which turns into a free shot for Oleith.
So, State Shift was the last man back in Ninjas.
Again, forget this.
Pace keeps up.
You expect Ninjas to start to run away with this game.
Last game was close, but Ninjas again, another lead.
And Toxic kind of thought he did his job there,
so he demoed the infield, which was Zara.
Unfortunately, there was two of them,
just with the nature of this game.
Two members in Ninjas of the Jamas
were ready for the pass play,
Well, they couldn't find both at the same time. 1-0, 2-mits gone, and I'm in the box seat 4 now.
It's a fantastic position for NIP as well.
In terms of the season, they're in a really good spot.
Jory's missing open net, look, but the save was coming through.
But in terms of the chaos around them, NIP gives up.
I feel like they've put themselves in a great position.
They guarantee top 6.
Maybe top 4 if this series continues to out.
It's going to top 3 during the previous event.
They're looking great for Paris and World.
Oh, yeah, they'll definitely be going to Parasite Worlds based on these two efforts,
unless something crazy happens.
But they look great.
Outside back grand finals in both the four.
There's a chance for Toxic, they can get frozen a bit.
Hi, there was a defender in net, but just can't get the ball.
That was just another chance.
And it's just quantity over quality for both teams.
That needed to be a quality shot.
Dayshift makes the save.
Comeback needs to find time for his team to set up.
You can see Day Shift having to strip that corner boost.
He actually is able to get involved in the attack,
but Toxic is cramped.
Third man, Jorius looks to go low.
Toxic recovers well.
There's just no backing off, is there?
They're not trying to let their teammates cut forward.
And even if they're last,
they're just gonna look for a chance
to get involved and push forward.
See all that, see what he can do.
Trying to throw it in midfield, he does.
Toxic is there to really throw great catch as well.
With a flip reset, go on for some plays on Jorius.
Come back there to Jorius.
What?
Great start to be won.
What is he going for, Jack? 0-0-3!
That's a two-goal swing.
He watches his teammates just completely fail a 2-v-1,
and then he goes, you know what?
What if I just have to crack his belly?
Insta-challenges in the front third, and that's an open net 3-v-0.
Should have been a goal down the other end.
I don't know how Jor-es got out of that situation.
He was in, but they completely stuffed it up,
and we'll play to Jor-es, kickoff goal coming in,
then the 1-2-1.
Yeah, I was about to say if that was a back-breaker
this entire match I thought it was going to be over but this is exactly what
Clip absolutely needed the kickoff play works contact gets the ball and then
right back in his team. Back in the game three is I mean even if you make some
mistakes it's all good apparently. Day shift though, he's a scoreboard just with
90 points to his name needs to get involved that's a pitch that's on target.
Hopefully through himself of course now of course he did with zero boost.
Welcome to Ninjas Ibijamas.
This toxic, he's bumped off this one.
And just, honestly, have you seen a fight?
It went three games in.
Like, you occasionally see those low 50s aerial plays
on those counter-smakes, so joyous,
you're just gonna shoot on that, of course.
Of course he is.
This is Ibijamas, you would think at this point,
maybe they would play three midfielders
and try and kill this clock if they have a one-go lead,
but for some reason I would expect them not to do that
to dive in everything anyway, see you alright?
Ron is in the corner here
we'll follow up to the next one, come back, just keep it alive
weaponry, something desperately
the demo's low, Jorri's doesn't jump
and avoids another demo play
he's been so clutch, easily the MVP
of the lobby so far, not just the 1100
points in the offense, but the
saves as well, it's toxic now
he's able to beat early there, he's Jorri
he finds an outlet
by that man who doesn't screw up the 100% boost
doesn't spawn for him, Jorri's looks for the 50
30 seconds left, he's in the jammers.
You know they're also gonna be committing.
They want that third goal.
Slowly looks to challenge as well.
One last crack, Whip needs to win this game.
It's gonna get very, very desperate for them.
Contact throws himself up.
I mean, he's ripped it off the backboard,
gives us if there's a fourth teammate coming through.
Nobody there, 10 seconds left.
Yeah, we don't have the 44 right cleaver,
something worse than we can do that.
So, combat.
One last up to be here.
We're sure the low 50, just not matter of choice,
we'll be clear.
The ball's up there, top is not reaching in time, ninjas and pajamas are one game away from the top four.
They look fantastic, you see smiles on the faces, Jorak's very happy with proceedings and honestly, if an anchor don't fix it, it's a little scrappy.
We're seeing tick-off goals, some messiness, whip a call in the time-outs of a hack, perhaps 12-thies through, but ninjas and pajamas just keep going at the ball.
It's working against these guys.
I think that's a good one.
My shots for with one goal.
They're like the shooting percentage.
That's the side like five percent.
But they are at least getting some offense going.
But they always make that small mistake somewhere, right?
And just gives me an opportunity to then win these games.
Outside of what was the game,
she was a little bit more blowout than you could.
This is the job that's her game one of today.
Taking over the series, they love playing this way.
They love when the pace is at an all-time high.
and they're showing what.
Yeah, yeah.
I was about to say they're looking fantastic,
but I think that's just in the context of being
Serino up in the series.
I don't know.
This is the needs of the Jumps and it's fine,
and so this is why you don't feel like
you can fully trust them
because of the playstyle, but I mean,
it's fine to watch, and when they're on,
when they're all individually feeling it as well,
it's overwhelming,
again, for any team that's playing it.
Now to be fair, when they won in Swiss 1-3-0, they went down 2-0 versus Ninjas and Pajamas and won 3-3.
Oh, they got the reverse sweep to win it.
Maybe this is part of their playbook and they're just getting ready. They're called the time out here.
Try and figure it out. Try and figure out what worked last week when they beat Ninjas and Pajamas in three games in a row.
They will have to add a fourth on top of that at this point.
It is going to be a tough task, but again, we've seen them do this 10 inches before and it was just one week ago.
I mean, I'm just trying to think what they're saying right now. Did someone suggest, you know, should we stop, you know, just going at absolutely everything?
Should we try that or just keep doing what we're doing? Right now, it feels like they're kind of, you know, throwing some muck at a wall and saying what sticks.
Sticks and as you said with the shooting percentage 5% having 10 shots if you're only putting one away isn't going to get the job done
I want to see some quality. I want to see some extra passes some fakes as well. Maybe just I don't know
Just some more boost management. I'd say what wouldn't go straight. It was like they're all on zero the whole time
Yeah, like you don't want them to consume all 100 like ran away
Would be nice be nice to see them, you know, just drive around literally as I mentioned the
Kickoffs, kickoffs haven't worked before them.
We saw our last game, it kept the minute compact.
So this time, just with it by himself,
follows up his own play.
Then this kickoff, well, you don't see very often.
That's exactly what would be.
I mean, it's a little unlucky.
It's come off only as well, but it still wasn't,
well, it's standing in each of his arms.
They're just high risk, high reward.
They're gonna push forward.
If that happens, if it's in, it's in.
If you get unlucky, you get unlucky.
That's the way they play.
They shift to take it a chance with a double touch.
Jory's out to pinch it off the crossbar.
That's a great start.
Time out buff, I guess.
We've got a lead.
Let's see what they do with him.
Yeah, see if they can hold it.
It's time for Jory's and Oli's both go for the same ball.
Dejus has an opportunity to do something with CRR.
Is there a challenge?
Now all of the teammates are back,
or is it Jombo's Oli, the CRR?
Come back and try to get the reek.
Can I get it?
Toxic will follow it up.
Jory's creeping forward, though.
A little bit out of position,
but makes up for it anyway.
Clear to stop you.
There's the threat.
sitting in the corner just puts this whip defense in an absolute spin cycle. They just know he's
there in his presence alone. It's just enough to throw them off. So it's not doing more than you
think. Even if he's not hitting the ball, you know in the comms they get there saying that
Sarah's right there and they're rushing themselves. Now Ninjas find a way through. Only looks for the
touch. Deals corner boost. Compact. Orflip doesn't control it. That's what I want to see from this
whip team. They need to start controlling the ball. I want to see at least some slower air dribbles
just to buy some time, but they're just hitting it as hard as possible time and time again.
They're touching up again, all these runs again, double commit.
Another ball, D-Shift has another opportunity versus Sierra, but Sierra does well yet again.
It's just another double commit where it kind of looks like they were communicating,
but it doesn't quite land for an IP. He made a 30-goal and still that kickoff goal,
separating the two teams.
Sarah on to the corner, not to his teammate, losing possession but
whip. It's been up for really capitalized or sustained pressure but I don't think the other team
has so far. Another challenge in the middle, another 50-50 coming through a day shift.
Can he control the ball? He's giving it straight to Sarah, who is waiting on the wall compact.
Scared to control it. Right, loses possession as well. Sarah can keep it close. Two draws,
the great white who has whipped. And Sarah is still barely zero, but it's just flipping underneath it.
It's just chaos. It's unconventional, but it's fun.
It is fun. It is a little wild.
I think the one thing for Ninjas that is paying off of them is when they do get into these 51s up,
the events will seem to be happening a lot.
They find a way to make the stop.
Last game was Jorius. This game's been C-R-R.
So WIP has to find a way when they have a numbers advantage, hit those demos,
or make those tasks happen to secure so many tools.
They do have a one goal lead, but you feel like it's not safe at all.
No, they should be able to talk state keys completely with it.
And this has to be a world record, double commit across the board for both teams.
Every shot that's looking half in sends two defenders.
From both sides, it's crazy.
I just hate to call that a classic film, but this whole series, this shoot has been awful.
He's had a lot of opportunities to score it.
And now we get that.
Come back with the goal.
It's in a pogo, the legislature, it was a double commit again, Gibbs.
Dacia said, I want it.
What is that?
He's pogo because they bumped each other.
If that doesn't sum up this shambolic series, I don't know what does.
They've scored because they made a mistake.
Just row every corner at the ball.
Eventually one of the cars is going to hit ball into it.
It doesn't matter.
Sierra, of course.
Off the back wall, trying for a redirect.
It doesn't happen, only with the clear butt.
Day shift, keeping alive.
And again, a digits of pajamas.
They keep going through these risky opposite plays,
which allow Wip to have these opportunities.
And this has just been mad.
He's just there, Toxic thought he could run the ball back into his own corner.
No Jorius with a zero boost.
He's actually your last man now, Wip.
Welcome.
Fights himself there.
It's just the position he is so unconventional.
You never know where anyone's going to be.
The great Wip finds himself downfield off the backboard to Woli,
who throws it across the center up.
The heart to Jorius!
Nearly the greatest play we've ever seen.
The 50 as well as Ninja trying to keep it in.
Wip finds their way out.
Wow, that was explosive.
That was a crazy play, because Wip also had everyone back, but they still found that infield ult redirect somehow, some way.
It doesn't go in, Chorius throws another one on Thariki, come back with the clear.
Wip finally gets it all the way out, and Oli just gonna actually move it down the field, and no one's following.
Now they're fine, here we go, all three members are there to stop.
Oh! Go for Chorius off the mark.
Just wide open, Chorius, this time finds the net.
They get another look at it, the passing plays have been fantastic from NIP and then they try and just put a hole in time space continuum on something and they don't capitalise but they get a little lucky that it's space and Joris finds the shot 58 seconds, plenty of time in this game for sure.
That's three goals now, but we're like, ah, fortunate bounces all around.
Holy, Twins of Challenge accidentally passes it back there again.
Two Jorias to secure a goal.
Now, all three goals have been unconventional to say the least.
Ninjas right back in it, trying for the sweep.
You usually don't want, you know, teams to just throw the ball straight on there
the first chance they get, but what Ninjas do is they throw it on there
because there's someone on the backboard.
There's someone looking for a bump to get rid of that guy.
It's not, it's so unusual, but it is working.
Day shift low boost you can see only popping it up the CRR that found a pass plate
I've got 25 seconds left of 51 by Tom Pact only now looking at work at the ball downfield
Vines 2 has no boost he's gonna leave it for Jorius but don't worry about that Toxic doesn't care
He's already up with zero boost 13 seconds one last crack can inches
CRR wins the challenge so much but it gets away from a toss it's a bit clear
Jorius though has a lot of boost to take
Let's go for the cross for air dribble with a bit of a heavy touch.
The ball gets killed.
Somehow Cedarwood keeps it up.
Come back though, we'll get the extra stats and win.
They're still alive and there's three ones here.
I mean, they went off the timeout.
I couldn't quite tell you what they did different.
No.
You can see they got the kickoff goal.
It was chaos.
Nige's missed a few shots.
We had a 700 point game from compact with that final shot as well.
Toxic couldn't hit a barn door with a tractor.
You wouldn't hear Watery who fell out of a boat at the moment that guy's dropping 150 points in this game compact with a hat trick
They get their first win though gives they tonight a sweep
That's why I wonder if it has been wild has been all over the place by cold kids again three of these goals
And really that fourth one was just a trash
It just had to happen was like watching it bounces. That's just kind of fine little way in
I don't know if that's exactly what they want, but they don't really care.
They'll take the win.
I feel like they should have won a couple of these other teams from the ground, but they
have to do it three more times in a row.
And based on how this game is going, where it feels almost random at times, it's very
difficult to win a point off three times in a row.
It also feels like a game that is an upper bracket match as well.
You can tell that both of these teams know that they're through to Sunday, no matter
that. I don't think it's
going to be a great game.
It's going to be a great game
no matter what they've got a
second chance because. They
are just going for it right
now. They're not just
thinking, Oh, what if what if
I missed this ball? What if I
can see that? You know, but
what if I hit it? That's
that's the mindset of
positivity. And they're just
playing carefree Rocket League.
So I don't think there was
much change from work to be
honest off the time out,
apart from compact having a
great game. But let's be
honest, the two goals that
well, the game winning goals
ahead gives you a kickoff
that went over the top of two, that was completely unintentional.
So, yeah, they won from randomness, I guess.
And not only that, during the close game highlights, because those were so random,
a toxic PC crash, because it just couldn't process all this information,
so we're waiting on him to return back into the game.
It's been a wild one. It's been a wild series.
Ninjas, I think, should be relatively confident, but again,
Once it goes to Neo Tokyo, if that does happen, that's when things start to change and Whip will have all the momentum.
So I feel like like in Paris right here, here's the one to win it, especially for Nip.
Because if they win the series, get another top four. They're basically locked to go to actual Paris as well.
So they want to do that.
Absolutely. And just feel like the players, we mentioned the speed of this series.
I think another stat that you'd love to look at, or I'd love to look at afterwards, is just the proximity to each other, to teammates and to the ball.
There's some teams that want to be as spread out as possible on the pitch.
I feel like all six have been as close to the ball, as close to each other as possible.
And in turn, seeing some of the, well, I'd say the highest amount of double commits in a series that I can remember.
Maybe take note as well, if you're watching this game, better come up.
Just how many times these players double commit in this game.
But if you'd rather two guys going than no one, it's kind of what I always thought with
double-quits gib, so just keep going for it.
As long as you get a good enough touch, right, then it's like, sure, why not go for it.
But also with Ninjas and Jammus, they've been doing so good.
It has that third man on defense.
When those double-quits do happen, then they happen to happen to make it plays.
Last game was CRR twice.
The game before that was Jorius avoiding a bunch of bumps as well, like in those two
one. So you're just doing a good job there over at least game three in game two I should say. So
we'll see what happens here. Wip did a great job in that last game and they just got to keep up
the pace. Maybe those kickoffs they have scored two kickoff goals and back to back games now.
So we'll see if they can get another one here to open up scoring. Well it looks like Toxic is ready
to go. Not sure if it was a PC crash or sometimes when you just you just keep missing all those
shots gives you want to restart the game. You think something's not going on. You just say that
that little mental reset, EC restart just to get the heavy crack end is 150 points is there
and that's unacceptable. Something else is wrong. It can't be me. We'll see what happens
here as we are good to go.
Ready game number five. Beautiful Paris map as we are taking, well, feels like we're closer
to the big tournament, to the second major of the season. And in Zimbabwe, as you said,
looking like they're trying to get there with Cannae cause an upset. They've got that
this win. And let's say things can just calm down a little bit.
Yes, there are plenty of little slow going east to west of
infantry. There's no north and south immediately after all
these have opportunity. Misses the show.
I said watch for the double commit skips. And we're 30
seconds in. We see a double commit on goal pinch compact
into day shift. It's beautiful.
I have no words. Talk to me, Gibbs. I just need rest.
Times one, one, off the kickoff. There we go.
One more. Right back in.
Our own goal so you can get to a kickoff strat.
Compact us again with a big kickoff at the top.
So here we go. Brand new PC.
Just ready to go.
I feel like we're ten years into the RLCS,
and I would have liked to have think back in 2016
when you would have thought,
thought. I wonder what the game plays gonna look like in 10 years from how
crisp it's gonna be, how in tune the players are gonna be with each other, just
three minds blended together, gel together to one. Beautiful bang and you know
it's just, it's chaos, it's beautiful mechanics, it's solo plays and it's
toxic, it's Chicky's PC. He's restarted his game and he's found the back of the
net twice. Heavy curve us might be real, I'm not sure it's classic, what a shot there.
putting the team on his back all of a sudden, it's a brand new man and weapons up, 2-1.
That's a beautiful solo play with the reset finds the top corner as well,
there's another pre-jump pass, Oli's off the roof, Oli's got a free back, 40 dust missed,
can he find an infield? This guy just refuses to rotate, it's a double
committee in the offensive corner, Jorius comes in with zero boost as well,
he actually finds a demo, Serah sitting third man and by third man it's kind of like
like two and a half men and not the show. It's chaos. It's absolutely wild. It's hard
to catch your breath. One fifty from compact. That was nice to see. You can just bang the
ball straight away. Joris with space. Pop over the top of one. Pop over the top of two.
Two Ali. Two two. Joris straight again. North it's outplayed. Just one is out of the field.
Beat up. Compact. Get the double tap. Tatsukas trying to reach the sole. Chris was quickly
he's got no boost. Only is of course right there right behind him a ninja's tie-backer.
Of course though we're gonna tie it up with just a minute 23 seconds gone we've had four goals
because why not just keep playing the same way if it's good fun and everyone's having a good time.
I certainly am right here the demo comes through Joris said so many demos this game
as he works the ball down the side ball this time. Sarah takes it off in zero boost back post pass
only not going to be able to reach it.
Won't be able to keep it in.
Sure, he's going to run the ball back.
Indeed he is.
Sure, he's going to go for the cross.
Coast aerial dribble.
Gets around one toss of dribble,
half enough time to clear it after a C-Mate pop.
Actually, he throws it.
Zero.
Kind of nowhere to see a position.
Turns it into an infield pass.
And then there's the pajamas are a little less.
Yeah, I feel like I'm up.
It's a very frequent con for both teams
and every player on the pitch at the moment.
Sarah's pre-jumping passes trying to intercept you give all their toxic looking for a ship
It's a pinch into the back hold a ship for the little zigzag to grab boost keep the ball close 50-50
Oh, we're gonna keep it
It's close to himself as possible. He does find a nice 50 Sarah who's straight on the scene joyous underneath
He's going to be the first one to challenge ever minus only four joyous little swap
Which is joyous. You'd have the hundred boost have another fake play another double commit everyone's in the corner
With the fattiging, Oly's looking for the pop, looking for the pass.
Another double commit, three men in the corner for Whip.
It's looking so scary for the shots that are on target.
Here I throw it a bit wide for another infield pass out.
Jorius, does he have a chance to do much of this?
He's going to take it himself.
Tartix will get the clear, finally, and Whip survived.
They can breathe. They can breathe in two minutes left.
No harm done for both sides.
Two, two, and Whip.
find another game in this series and it's a game six and then it's looking scary.
As soon as you see game six you think well we're going away from chairfield,
we're going away from getting reverse swept, they've done it before, it was a festive five.
Can they do it in a festive seven? It's a nice pop across. Compact just wasn't quite ready.
Early jumps into his own net off the side right now. He just broke a rule one.
Jury is breaking the rule one. We'll see if that comes back to bite him instantly as the demo comes
through, doesn't quite land, day shift, throws on men and gets the goal.
Well, isn't that just karma?
We're just getting everything in the series here, Joris.
Bad 50 challenge, and you know what?
You've got a little one in your back flip, have a day shift.
Replace them under shot, and we're right back in.
We're up back in it and finding some serious moments,
and they've got three shots for three goals.
If that's not the polar opposite of what we've seen in the first three games,
I don't know what is.
And the Serra just jumped straight up top, looks for the 50 on Toxic.
And he's really elevated in his game.
He's been a difference now with Toxic.
So Compact has to just get that game when he's carrying with the Hatric.
But Toxic's been huge and what to say, pre-jumping the left-hand side, keeping him in the lead.
Serra, there's another attempt at the pass, Oli is up with, gets it by the right.
And we're all turned up with a minute to go.
That's the Hatric, he's been the offensive firepower for NIP, 70% goal participation.
And this is why the pre-jump play, beautiful.
The pass even better as well.
They're seeking up.
They're synergizing.
And they found a 3-3 score line.
They kick off there.
Time to just throw in the tee.
But no one's available, so all they just get is a free CRR
with the challenge now.
Jorius as well, keeping the ball in the arc side
with the field, to shift from slow down to fifth.
And that one's coming out.
We'll get the clear out of the CRR.
Just touch it into the corner.
Slowly, no boost, and a drink.
Jorias follows up, also now on no boost.
So, Sierra is left by himself.
Perfect catch by him to slow everything down.
30 seconds left, Jorias has Sierra right there.
It's a pre-jump play.
It's a double commit from Whip.
Of course, they're gonna send two at that.
The threat was there, toxic.
Zero boost, trying to keep it as close as possible.
Binds to 50, compact gets 50.
Day shift's rotating in, the only one with 100 boost.
And he loses the touch.
The pop over the top, a huge win coming through.
And Joris, start of the pump a little bit.
He's come back, throws himself at it.
The shot offline and the NIP,
did they get one last attack?
I think we've been trying to get the ball down.
They've flown it over time.
Goodness me, what is happening?
Watch for the kick-offs here by Whip.
We've been doing rather well on them.
Carpac does get possession, just catches it downfield.
Tarsik, they shift with moves, we've not noticed a such.
Tarsik does get it missed field,
They don't want to be available though, Oli can turn me away, but the pressure is on by Whip after that kickoff win.
It's a big, big boost grab there as well from Oli, just spawned on him on time.
It's a 50-oh, Joris finds himself very awkward. There was going to be a jump from comeback, but he just absorbed toxic's powers all lack off from the previous game.
Could have been game right there, but the quality finish wasn't on it. Double Q comes through, it's actually a nice fake as well.
He's in a lot of trouble, but he makes a huge save getting bombs
Well, the only thing they can't do is bump at a 2v1
They've tried so many times every single time he's in jammers are avoiding them. Well done by all
I see this here from CRI you can see
Toxic rotating to the mid boost scooping up the hundred
I'll leave this ball for combat. Oh everyone strong!
Jack, don't fuck close! There's the series! It's a gentleman's sweep and I'm here to top four
George pushes it forward and it's like, I'll follow up all three members in the same quarter.
Those two will finally pick them to positional errors by with costs about the end in old age.
After the big time save in the 2v1 where he voids that bump,
secures the overtime goal, and manages the pajamas. Take the seat.
They just had it run from post again and when you're playing that quick, it's just...
The structure is the first thing that's going to fall apart.
You're looking for boost. It's unconventional and, I mean,
NIP just look more comfortable playing that way and you know what it feels like it's it kind of feels like Sarah
Who is always always been like this just chaos?
You know one of the fastest plays on the beat it kind of feels like they've all just molding the three CRR
They're all just they're all just playing as quick as him
Whereas when I first kind of formed it was just him up top and and kind of George and I'll be playing a little two man
Second third rotation now feels like the three first man. It is chaos, but it's work
Yes, but it is entertainment rock league for sure. Ninjas a good job as after making it to the grand finals of open four now secure at least a top four finish here didn't come to points towards that Paris major so congrats to them with
We'll have to look to the lower bracket tomorrow, but we still have one final match today and it's a match everyone's been waiting for. K-Corp versus Jumbo Mates. That's up next.
Yo!
Oh, now this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
Now L.A.s can be a big test for a young homeowner turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full, they go to the overflow lot.
I heard him. I was right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents.
but we can't protect your home and auto when you bundle with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We have the red convertible.
Ha-ha-ha.
Hey!
I'm looking for someone
I
Is this something you could understand through the world?
And I'm not out for a fight for you
It's something I've lost on my own
I see the moon above it
I'm a sensation, wow
Every time I dream of you, I'll send you
There was a moment there where you thought maybe, maybe WIP would figure it out here
And then they didn't folks back and forth.
Nipka's the first three games.
Whip takes down game for a minute of overtime.
Maybe it's going to happen.
Not quite there.
Nizh is too green.
It's my eyes back.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Gary, I was back for my cramp in jaw from that series.
It's too green.
I picked the wrong one.
That's Sears wave.
Well, something.
I'm sorry.
Your jaw is cramping because it's on the ground
the whole time.
like I'm no from the amount we had to talk the entire time in CJ the back and forth gameplay
the entire time that series was something CJ I don't know if it was great but it was
entertaining it was it wasn't great it was definitely entertaining it was just double
commit quad commit double commit double commit team bump double commit score because you made
a mistake and double committed it was chaos ninjas in pajamas though went to a trio lead
Because of the chaos, they looked like they acclimatized a little bit easier than what we saw from Whip,
but it was mainly some shooting woes from Whip that really let things down.
I'm saying Nip and Whip, I'm getting confused with the teams as well.
The Toxic took a while to heat up, Gibbs.
When he did, we saw it start to turn around a little bit. They got a couple of games.
Yeah, credit to Ninjas though. There was plenty of opportunities where they were in a 2v1 spot.
There was one right there, turns into big saves, turns into two gold swings,
where WIP were trying for the double play and they just could never connect on those plays.
So Ninjas doing a good job. Well, even though it was a little messy at times,
but their double commits, their third man was always there and it was all three members too,
like at different times making those big time plays. So credit to Ninjas for showing like offense
was fantastic. It was like the speed was great, but the problem is because they were so fast,
those double commits happened, but their defense really played well.
That leaves us with the ninjas of pajamas in the semi-final. Another top four finish for them guaranteed and wippy sports has a day with Manchester City tomorrow morning. They are not out of the tournament just yet. We'll see how they bounce back there after taking that loss.
lost to the ninjas. One match left on the day CJ during the break, you were promising
me with your whole heart that this match is going to be a very different story. The ninjas
of pajamas versus wippy sports, Carmen core versus the gentle mates of match that could
easily be a grand finals marquee event at any other event and said they are meeting
here in the upper found in the upper round one. Yeah, I think I made those going to be
less double commits for sure. I think the gameplay is going to look completely different.
Not sure about the skull, but I'm expecting it to be close. Honestly, I didn't think we'd
have a game seven until this point.
The K.D.
or Gorb shout out to them
putting on a clinic against Vitality.
What a matchup we have right here,
though, Gibbs.
This has been the marquee match.
The reason what is last was not the reason it's last,
that they both happened to be in the upper bracket,
but it's a good test for both teams.
Yeah, K-Corp not playing together for once.
They're actually playing at home.
So that's a little bit interesting,
because normally they're like at their facility
playing there, but this time,
this is a very rare sight that we see
I'm going to play with the
team. I'm going to play with
the team. I'm going to play
with the team. We are in his
house. We never see this. He's
always there, so we'll see if
that matters for K Corp here
because they are. Like inclined
to play together. Now they're
just at all playing on this
board. So you have place out of
the flip side. We have the
mates who are playing together
and the major major champions.
They took over that king of
Europe or king of the world
because of mass right there,
the next event. So they're
looking to get as many points
as they possibly can. They're
in the upper bracket. They do
have two lives at that top
forward, but they want to get
it done here. I mean, wife,
can you tell that they're
actually in the gentleman's
facility? Tough to say. I
will. I will say I will say
there's there's there's a
there's a color. Uh,
synergy from the building and
the shirts and the chairs
that does make it probably
a facility there. I will say
though, facilities today, I
I will say though, facilities today, I think are like one and two, like, I don't want to be in a facility today.
Vitality? Wait, that looks a little rough. Maybe they need some more yellow in there, depending on how the Junimates perform.
What probably happened was, KerminCorp saw Vitality losing their facility to Kato.
He said, quick, quick, go home, go home, go home.
Well, I mean, it's going to be a good test. Obviously, you know, when you say we've got K-Corp at home, this is now K-Corp at home.
So we'll see how they do perform, but I thought KC at home was K-DOP called, but maybe they're KC at the office, the way they were playing, looking fantastic.
It's going to be a great test for all of them. No general mates look like they're back. That first event of the split skips, I think, was just a little warm-up for them.
It was.
A little off-rack, but they won the major.
It was, but Mates also were in Group A, a little bit of a gifted group as well, so they went through that pretty comfortably, but K-Corp had to take down Manchester 3-1 as well.
So kick up a little bit of a tougher road here. It looks like they're back in form
But honestly, it just depends on what type of teams we get out of these two
I feel like this is truly a coin flip matchup
Hey, it could go either way challenge. No, you think it's gonna win Gibbs. You said it's a coin flip
Which way are you flipping the coin? I had back on chalk cast
I said mates would be the number one seed going into Paris for Europe
The only way they probably do it is if they went to these opens back to back. I'm gonna go with the mates here
I think they have a chance to find their form again and K-Corps playing at home
Which just seems odd to me, so I'm gonna go with the mates. Okay, CJ
I'm gonna go KC. I'm gonna go the other way
I think it's still gonna take Gemma mates a little little water wind out and I think it's it's a 50-50 match
Last time when you know when Stumpy predicted K-Doll copy just went with his gut
I've just got a gut feeling the KC at home. He's gonna look fantastic
Well, the majority of players that have at some point played in the facility earned the right to play in a facility by playing at home
If anything, they're a back in their element here
I think Carmen court are gonna take this one down
But I do think it's gonna be a close series night and excited breasting it to it
Hopefully have a banger seven game match to close out playoff Saturday get yourself set up for championship Sunday
I would be happy either way though because if gentlemates win
We get coming core versus KDAPC or finally as foretold in the prophecies
We'll see which one we get for tomorrow folks split down the middle in chat as well
They couldn't be closer on paper. We don't play rock-a-league on paper folks
Which organization gonna move forward in the bracket and have a better shot at the title tomorrow on championship Sunday?
Carmen core on one side gentlemen. It's on the other for the final match of the day
It is a position that gentlemen's are trying to scramble out of after a very poor
opening tournament for the split.
They find themselves chasing for those top five spots.
Victory is done, B would put them in a much better position
to try and right those roms.
Yeah, Carmel and Corp however, they are going to be
a very scary opponent to be going up against.
They haven't done their classic of winning all of the regionals
as they like to do.
That was last split, way that they managed to go about things.
But heading to Paris, they have not been able to take the first one.
Great save, start things off.
and a banger of a shot from Vittira does manage to keep them out in Game 1 brought to you by Progressive.
And one slowly untargeted is Vittira past the ball of Atto.
They'll start off this season, very arguably, best player in Europe.
Hasn't quite been living up to those standards as of late.
And he would so love to return to that pinnacle sooner rather than later.
But for KC, what's there was supposed to be their moment?
Gelmage stole it from the now-genamates, especially at the K-Drop Corp.
Had the result they did.
There's still two points behind now from those top spots.
Really could do over a result.
Now, the interesting bit is, loser of this one plays K-Drop Corp tomorrow,
so we either get the outright race for the top five spots,
or we get a casters nightmare,
where somebody's got to try and figure out K-Corp for coming Corp versus K-Drop Corp,
and that's gonna be awful.
We'd make sure the players don't change their names.
like, like, Rado doesn't change his name to like, Ratau Sin.
Like, so he doesn't like, like, I'm sure they're gonna try and submit those names
as soon as they know what the team is that they're gonna be playing.
But it's gonna be interesting to see just how
Gensmeys really can bounce back.
The incredible major win that they secured over in Boston.
It's not being sullied by any means by the fact that they couldn't, uh,
make it the main event, um, or rather they could make the, uh, playoffs, um,
in the next, uh, open, uh, event.
Unfortunately, that's what people are talking about at the moment. Archie's gonna slot one in, but they've got a lot of work to do really, I think, to regain that trust with their band-mates.
Whose toll is just awful there for KC.
There's Archie. No nonsense Archie, as he is. Just gonna whack the ball on the targets.
As the work just bore, and Oskie is going to go for the slow play this time around.
As if a couple of players are actually considering it, Vatira, nice cut of rotation, that's quite
far forward actually, so he's going to be caught.
But, he's a little force, and it's Oskie.
Oh, alright, going over the flick, doesn't quite go as far as he might have wanted it
for Vatira.
Also, not catching the player.
Both teams sort of... trading blows here at the moment, not quite fast enough to challenge,
I'm not quite so enough to get out past.
I'm a hoarding pattern, and a hoarding pattern
is pretty nice, actually, for gentlemen.
They've got the lead.
And when you look at the history between these two teams,
it's the fifth time they've played each other this season.
Casey, a currently three-on-one on that record,
can three-and-two if then you include the Swiss stage this time.
Normally, they're looking at the best of sevens.
And Archie, we talk about the best of sevens.
He is the best of them.
water slot and a bath from NAS.
The tier has got like 95% of that gold covered.
It's a shame that Archie knows where the 5% is.
What?
And it is two to nothing, gentlemates.
Not allowing the mistakes of two weeks ago
to come back to haunt them.
And Casey, they're now going to have to start
to really pick us up here,
because they've looked a little bit flat to start this.
Nobody available for the, even the challenge,
let alone the pass.
Zero low boost, he's going to be a wild bang.
Atto, the second guess is the challenge initially.
I wonder if the corners want to turn up.
It's going to lay claim to it. Archie pops it on.
That's just makes it short of it.
Notice that he hasn't got the boost,
but the fake challenge was enough to also zero boost Atto.
You know what's most impressive about that shot from Archie?
The plate's in the sublime,
but KC's defense is the best in the region.
They are, they've got sort of the lowest goals against.
They had extremely few shots against them as well.
around seven per game and they save 65% of all shots that come their way. They are incredibly
hard to get anything past and yet game number one sees gentlemen through this two-nil lead but
Tira wants to tap this one on target, doesn't quite get enough of it, goes central towards Apto
but he has to leave the playoff to nothing at least.
Pusky's on zero, Juicy won't turn around, but Juicy has been playing some very good
Rocket League isn't late.
Especially given the Tuesday has failed.
Something that's sort of his career, though,
and he's doing well on there.
I just got a lot of time.
Casey's rotation, not as quick and sharp
as we have been grown and used to see it,
as they're in trust with the free jump,
just a little bit too obvious.
I've never seen a gentleman like this.
We just come out and see what,
a calming couple are attempting,
and then they have an answer for it,
near enough every time until the Tierra sees that top corner.
Whatever you can do, Archie, I can just about match it.
It's a lovely setup from Juicy here.
He gets so many touches around the players,
then the Tierra has to wait, see what the defense can do.
If it's nothing, take the shot.
I love the switch up because he's fading
as if he's going to go for a reset.
And as soon as Nass has gone for a challenge, just not.
Changing the position of my car,
I've now got the bumper underneath the ball.
I can pop out over towards the backboards.
Here is Archie on for a hat-trick.
Well, in five seconds, one goal is the difference.
Squad's mass, just enough time to get the reset,
not enough time to do anything with it.
Final 14, so Carmen Colton needs to try and push,
which is a cap.
He's got the corner of weights and legs,
he's got Archie who's going to be able to do two of those.
A lovely play from Atira.
Gets to the entire distance towards that backboard,
and then keeps the question being asked onto the ceiling,
as Archie does weight and lurk,
and the competitiveness that Archie can show
So it's Sublime, Vitira, no dunk on NAS,
Fato works his way in due to his bump by Archie,
Fatboard saved the way again, Vitira.
While the target also has to take his time,
has very little feats in the final 10 seconds,
still leaves KC wanting.
Now Field Oscar's waiting for it,
goes for the redirects of Target.
That opportunity, Ato passing option,
if Vitira wants it, they've got to be in that position, though.
Vitira tried for the low challenge.
It wasn't good enough, and Gentlemates
have taken game number one.
But I think there might be a score right there, Stumpy.
That might stick out a little bit.
Hatta needs more in game two.
Yeah, he's got zero goals, zero saves, two shots,
bearing up, and I think that makes it a majority
of his 94 points in game number one,
a devastatingly low amount from Atom.
And that is all incredibly involved.
The way that we see KC play is extremely team-focused.
They are a conveyor belt that will pass in between each other, seemingly seamlessly, right?
I think at first they did not get to that level in game number one.
Still got a lot of time to work into it, but with every passing game, of course, that becomes a lot harder.
Yeah, it's still a bit too slow.
But when you play, you know, the way KC usually play, it's so fast that they leave.
There's, you know, three different options for themselves
as to how they're actually going to try and get the shot on target.
I think I know where this one
is going to be completely honest
with you. So I'm probably just
going to go and take the the
challenge and be a okay with
that. But I think if thinking
atto up and running that will
be perfectly fine for them, but
we've got really big, big series
here for gentlemates. They are
still two points behind. They
do not want to be able to run
that. Yeah, I think we're
gentlemen. It's two like. It's
one of the ones way. Yes. All
the points that they can get are
going to help for missing out on
open number four, um, to gain
any points was devastated for
them. But they they've been
pretty much there that the
world is fine for both. They're
all good. They're all good. We're
looking towards Paris and then
any points that you can then
gain there to then get on any
you, but they've already done
well in getting the points here
to get up to fifth and probably
they can win the tiebreaker if
it comes down to that. You don't
rely on the tiebreaker. Goodness
gracious. No, but they have got
fallbacks. There are ways that
they can do this. It's going to
be intriguing to see just how
hard they can push to get as
many goals rather as many points
as possible. So they don't need
in the game. We're going to
be in a little bit of a delay
for game number two. Once you
get back into it, they're just
testing our server and then
we'll be into. Series as a
whole. For generates. I mean,
great game one for them. That
was pretty much well within
their wheelhouse. They can play
that style, especially if Archie
is shooting that well and Archie.
I want people watching. Right
that is the player that has got
so much that people can
replicate, but he just does it
better than everybody else.
Yes. Review his nature.
Gracious. If you're out there
going to, you know what, I'm
going to go watch Diaz or Zen.
Um, yeah, you're going to run
some problems right there.
Even like, you know, you look
towards the exact same team,
not even bother watching NASA's
replays because you have to be
the most perfect human being in
I think he makes it so hard to
think. Yeah, you know what? I
can score here. He makes it near
impossible to get right. He is
the game. He's got a lot of
people offence stifling. I think
he makes defense stifling. He
makes it so hard to think. Yeah,
you know what I can score here.
He makes it near impossible to
get right. He is a remarkable
defense. I have what's been
waiting for this. I have a
question for you. A theory
question. Would you rather? Okay.
One V two. You have just
overcommit. You've dived in. How
you know, two opponents about
chasing down towards your side
of the field. Who would you
rather in net for your team?
Archie on for Tira.
Yeah, this was a chat. That's
really hard. Two of the
greatest defensive players
to play this game saving the
fly. I thought saying current
I would go with Archie because I don't want very split. Yeah, it was all right.
Purely because I don't think I could say great job, but here in French, well enough.
Okay. Do you think Archie accepts it or do you think you would like grunt at you for putting him in that spot to begin with?
Whenever I talk to him, he normally does grunt at me and ignores me.
So I think I think I'm used to that at this point.
Whereas Archie at least has the courage to smile, you know.
Yeah, you really know it was kind of something coming. He knew that the other commit was coming
You see me take down my boots button, right? Well, it's getting to came number two
Maybe we'll get that position at some point. I think that's your material. We hoping that that's not the case
Casey obviously annoying as it is when you get delayed for getting them to also be a good thing for them
So they weren't really at top form for that last five minutes
But they should hopefully be a little bit better for them and we talk about, you know, those two players Archie Viterra and when you look towards the
statistics between last split so competing for that Boston major and then now this one for the Paris major
Gentle mates his offense was extremely
Spread between all three players, right? They were very very split down the middle with Atto going for that first goal in favour of calming
He's on the guys over on KC that is able to turn the game on a dime.
It's a stunning turn from him.
He's probably past Central from Vizera.
I was going to say that Archie now in this second qualification save from Paris Major,
he has a 76% goal participation before this series.
It is incredible how much he is getting involved in the offensive side of play compared to usual.
This is an argument of the crossbar and it's ended up costing his team.
the game. Crossbar always
wins undefeated 27,000 and
Oh, we include RCS and all your
ranked teams back over as well.
Don't mess with it. Juicy has
learned that the hard way.
Minute in and already we are
getting a good few goals fly
through. I think gentlemen
sticking quite comfortable
secure that goal. Yeah, up to
the ceiling 40 boost. So can
which allows us to have a chance in and I ask you immediately goes to chase down juicy at the back
People can't work its way past that in the midfield
Oh, that's doesn't quite get it both
Just hit the brakes he got break checked for a rocket legal
In a touch from that to get it past one RG
Just hasn't yet honestly has to slow that down not so much that goes backwards
But not so little that it still goes into the path of the defender a great play
And that is why his goal by this patient is so high on these qualifying open weekends
That's a straight down. That's immediately to Nass not a good touch from him at all
Juicy back into the path of Oskie. It's just clear and hope of them over at the KC
Usually they have a little bit more of a thought out plan than this, but
Yeah, generally it's won't complain if it's just gonna keep landing on them for for an out dribble or an airplay as Archie
only has to do a little bit more defense, Oskie, ceiling, reset, trying to go over the
top of its ear and no one really challenged.
Actually ended up working for the better, great second challenge as well, out there,
looks for Nass, does get there, now it's a panic, but Nass is hauling, Casey is so far
back.
That's never how Casey attacked, you would always expect if anything there to be too
many Casey players in the box, but it always works out, nobody was there, I was on Juicy's
He was pushed so far towards the side that he couldn't come in even on the low boost
You see can't hurt
Godness up there for company. That's a cop rotation. That's a backboard. Aren't you plenty of time?
PC seemed very happy just to hold back a little bit here
That midfield all of the dumb respawn that worked out brilliantly
and just showed up exactly where the defender didn't want them.
It's a pretty intense play.
It's a very unfortunate spawn.
It's a horrible spawn.
But after he just stays with the ball the entire time,
get in the dunk, see how it ends up popping through.
Really well played.
Then floats through the ball.
Just so then, Oskie has to think,
is he about to tap his foot in
or do he need to wait for somebody else to come through?
Just send as many bodies as possible.
That is how Carmen Corp do it.
I'm just saying, he couldn't communicate there.
He wouldn't know.
Oh, I'm on the left. No, it's the right. Sorry. Oh, I've really got this wrong, haven't I?
Actually, straight up to the path of juicy. Power's the ball. Bit of a heat check.
I'll ski. Well, it doesn't feel any of it. That's the second one. Sierra.
We're back to looking for players. Unfortunately, we're looking for Archie.
That is the near impossible find. The chance of a needle-down haystack sometimes
and trying to get the bump onto Archinal.
Stop the name?
Not the name at all.
Archival. Archival.
Oh, no, you've gone and had an archival.
That's his great great ancestor.
All right, Archival, before they realize
that Archival sounds way better.
Yeah, of course.
There he is in a second.
And we're gonna be singing.
I was about to say, you wanna be see Archie
and the cheeky green guy Rex Matto.
gets rid of any situation gets rid of Archie entirely make sure that he isn't
able to just about time past fire and defend that I turn it up in the midfield
up for that reset. The set goes to the one tap, Juicy back, there's no one there but
here is Lombou so I don't think he should have gone then but he should have been
able to at least threaten the defense. There's just no follow here for Casey.
Germans can get away of just making sure the second man doesn't take the shot
target. Juicy all immediately trying to look for Archie, who is already up 50m. That's
a bit of an ultimate spot, so it's required a little bit of health. And Archie's just,
you know, I've got this, lads. Don't worry, zero boost, it's all good. Get rid of it anyway.
Now goes to Atso, 30 seconds left during game number two. Casey could really do with this victory.
Well, this could be, it's like a trickling away from them, but Juicy's not in any position to
take that one. Final 20, Oskie has an option. He ends up going low, tries to force it.
Archie, I love that position.
Unfortunately for him, it does roll high.
He bounced on that one going low.
I love to go and get that back corner.
It's a fake out, goes to the ball instead.
Threads the ceiling, Nass for the catch,
and the instant flicker,
bottom flicker, if I've ever seen one.
Final three, side wall.
Nass goes for the Vittiera.
Atto goes for it of Nass.
On for one, the second over Vittiera.
Juicy can only make it as far as the floor.
Overtime, game two.
I don't like that, gentlemen.
Every time they go to the air,
to fake the reset. And then just hit the ball over the top of the defender. Here comes the
Viterra! One game each! Well added last and up. Six seconds. It was that touch from Atto where it
looks like he's going to be leaving the play. Ends at the turning round, just tapping off that back
board. Bit of a dive. I don't blame the defender once, however. Can't be caught. Lovely stealth
to finish off the second. Honest, what KC have always been able to rely on. They've got
kickoff plays. They've had them for three years straight and they can come up very big when you
need them in an OT. AC. I mean I don't think I know these teams are necessarily operating at their
best right now. Maybe maybe 60% of what they are truly capable of. But the standard is the same,
the result is the same and also saw the risks. Generally it's really good too with a victory here
to secure at least two more guaranteed spots for their splits.
And the pressure, the point about those who have admittedly very short overtime,
is very in favour of calming core. They were in Gentlemates' half for 60% of the game.
Normally you see that around the 52 to 55% mark, the slight domination.
60 to 40, that is a big difference.
Like Gentlemates said, they're under pressure for a lot of that,
that making very few saves that are clearly shutting off calming called pretty early on the ball was very much lingering in the orange half of the pitch they want to try and switch that round.
As it goes into game number three.
Over to DFH stadium.
Gents mates taking game one, AC answering back very nicely indeed.
This freak kick off here, Nass takes the ball over to the side.
Looking to try and displace Atto, can't go any further with it,
but I'll tell you what, I'll try and go off the kick off,
but Tiro with Atto downfield.
Oskie just makes sure, alright, I'm going to place my card between the ball
and Atto to ensure that that pass is just not going to work out.
It's almost 50 from Oskie, with nobody attacking it from calming cord.
Nass has a very free chance.
The game went into slow motion, like two Canadians holding a door open, saying oh no, after you, oh no, after you.
Nas ends up just rudely barging his way through, one Nell jettimates.
Ato goes so early on the save, he's made a big read that Nas's shot is going into the top right of his goal.
We get another freaking kickoff, they're just training that he's that same kickoff between each other.
All backboard, Ato's just gonna get there and he does.
Ato at the front.
Archie, back into the midfield. Zero boost to him. He's just gonna try and stay in the
way, although no immediate challenge there for Casey. That could have been a little bit
more of a threat. But Zera, only as far as off-skete. They have time effort, you see.
But Zera's looking for Archie's currently s**t for ending in the background.
Let me get this over to Ato some way. But Zera's thinking about it.
A spin the big, tear-like feel for this series, Stumpy, is third man positioning for Casey.
It seems to me that's the most important spot on the field.
Yeah, I mean, so far they've just been left in quite awkward situations and they're almost like playing it safe.
I think every time we've sort of seen them be like, and the KC final third man is nowhere to be seen.
Maybe because there's the first man not rotating out fast enough or the second man.
And they play to be safe by that time.
But now that you bring it up, Matiric is loitering.
He's going for boost, he's like sticking around with zero.
It's a phantom big third man from being as close as they would normally play him.
Yeah, maybe it's a little bit of confidence thing in those positions.
Just little, little spars, little insights.
As Oski's going for the terrorist car.
Ah, there's no little spot, no little insight.
There's a big Oski with a big Phenic taking him out with a big demo.
Big Oski, large Oscar, call him what you want,
he's gonna be scoring on your net.
Two no-gender mates, it's a beautiful play.
A choreographed play in fact, the aggression that Gentlemates can show.
It's 2-0 in under 2 minutes.
Carmencourt, I appreciate there are 1-0, or rather 1 ball in this series.
I need to see more from them, I really do.
Yeah, it's just off a series happening right now, and they're better than this.
Gentlemates are better than this, but Gentlemates are the ones winning at the moment, so...
Well, they got 2. Oh, it was a big dive in Peverty!
We'll turn that one in!
I don't. I don't hate this from the third man because you're stuck to be one of the wise, so it just goes for me all in immediately, rather than let Metira go for a demo.
I agree. Lovely doing as well from Metira as a doing against UTS, the connoisseur of myself.
Oh. Well done. Nicely played.
By the age.
Um, well, yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't hate what NAS did there. I think he was in a poor position in general, and so he sort of had to do what he could.
But it's either, do I go on a 2 on 1 originally, or do I just try and dive in to try and catch them off guard before they can conjure up something a bit more challenging?
He ends up losing that battle. I think he may have lost it regardless, because he wasn't arching.
And you can see the other way, and you say, wow, I don't know why he didn't just dive in, have you?
Exactly, yeah, yeah.
That's a powerful, clear, and arching scut that just about.
That's a maybe added up effect to the front of his current one.
That's on the turn. Two ones still to the better. Their lead cut in half, aren't she? Down the line.
Sierra, alright, well how's your Tiaz impression looking for Sierra? Not bad whatsoever.
There's Enzo off the wall. Two minutes for Sierra. He's not got the boost for a pre-trip, so he's sent there as the KC Special, the Bren and Butzer.
Head or bump, not quite landing.
This final two minutes and still not one being chased by calming corp.
Seeming the story of this series is just one to chase for calming corp.
We were able to do it earlier on.
That's a good take-sill, that's low 50.
Seems to be a trend at the moment for the gentlemates.
They're survived through a couple of their rosters now.
I've seen Archie go for those low challenges a good few times so far.
It's here, it stays with this one.
Guess it's in the backboard.
Oh, Attil and Juicy, they've ever missed communication.
Attil shows away, he was in position.
Juicy also sort of was occupying the same space
the bend diagram. That might be the reason why they're not in the KC facility. He wanted
to open the door for the other one and they couldn't quite figure out who was actually
supposed to go through it. Ah, there he may. Just...
Just a little moment and you don't associate them with KC. Hmm. You see, he's gonna be
a little bit late to this. Nassau paces them one minute left in this game. Still one goes
to the better. Here goes for Tyra. He's got Archie. Just goes for the outpace and it's
I think Hattie had the better angle.
They're just not deciding who needs to go.
They're playing closer though. They're playing a lot closer.
And that final man has a lovely bing through and that's it.
I don't hate that. I don't hate going for that fake there either.
And yeah, they're playing that final man a bit further on.
That's what Casey do, but they don't normally trip over each other's shoelaces.
Oh, that's just gonna be pumped wide.
It's off the post!
Headaches on the breakaway!
Hey, KC, just calm, make it count!
I need to see why that didn't go in.
What was just juicy, just too slow,
it's way too anticipating,
because that pass was perfect.
Nass attempts to get it right below the crossbar,
so a lovely demo from Atto.
This time he then leaves with Tyria,
just to go for the ball on his own,
doesn't commit as well.
Pinsh at him from Archie Atto,
he's gonna be home to clear away.
Atto, look, he's trying to create something.
Oskie does well enough,
but he's just so low support,
the guard is there!
And the post is not going to be a factor.
The great touch amount to Oskie has to do something,
and then no one's home in time.
Nass has no boost.
He can't get to it.
Stunning 0-second play.
Calming call.
Don't die yet.
Yeah, that's going to keep him suffering as well, isn't it?
Because you don't want to lose having just got
that golden opportunity.
We've got overtime.
We've got Archie on the ball for now.
Good 50 from him.
Ah, so against Oskie.
But Sierra's gonna have what a bit of time
until Oskie does cut rotation, head straight in front of him.
All good right now.
KC, as you mentioned earlier on, playing a lot more aggressively.
And that is the KC we don't love,
Patrick Hero for the Tyra.
It's that aggression, it's the positioning.
It is gorgeous, flowy, dominant play and calming call.
They start to figure out
Those feud kings that they have got,
they make sure they're not on each other's way at this point.
They've got those matching decals
and their brains are starting to register
on the same wavelength.
It took them a while,
but KC found their form.
And I just adore that play at the end there for Vaterra.
Because he's got two options
and this is what KC usually do so well.
They have options in every single offense.
Even if that one is not shootable for him,
You can just still commit to the demo that you originally wanted.
Alright, it's in my path. I'm just going to turn it on.
That has been what Casey have missed throughout this series so far.
Options, ability, just...
Usually, you know, what options Fernman can't take the shot?
That's not even usually there.
But for Genomates, this is now on them.
They've been sort of happy to let Casey play this style.
Now, Genomates need to switch on as well,
because this game has nothing taken to them.
I've got both teams are coasting.
Games one and two.
But neither of them were like going crazy.
We didn't see the best play in the world.
Now, Carmencorp, in that overtime in particular, actually gone,
OK, you know what? We can do this.
We can flow and we can work together.
And that energy from Vatera is going to be toned down somewhat.
Now that timeout has been taken.
Snasky to do a little bit of work with the boys.
There's a gentleman at the team to figure out what do we do
to make sure that we are getting up to that level
That calming corp have ripped their engine up to you.
Well, none of the players are talking, so hopefully the coach has got a lot to say.
Yeah, worst time out ever otherwise, if you just sort of sit there in very awkward silence.
Just nobody talk. All right. Just think about what you did.
Punishment time.
Sit in the corner, shut up.
CJ would have called for back when he was playing.
Yep.
Like, that is a really hard position
to then mentally deal with losing from.
Like, that is... that is a horrible position,
and I think the Gentamates became lax.
Again, we've not seen them go to the level
that we can know that they can get to.
They've played well,
because they've ultimately won some games against CarmenCorp,
who also aren't at that level, but it's now 2-1.
Gentamates, more answers needed.
Loser of this is going to be heading it down into the lowers,
Because we'll be playing against K.DocPort and I think the intermixer...
The NIP near next to that, I think.
Yeah, after that, yeah, it's an NIP, so there's some tough teams ahead.
Yeah, oh, you've got Nancity.
Well, it's horrible.
Alright, this is why you play these games, because Europe is stacked with talent at the moment.
I think we'll be pretty happy with any match between these hands.
What a breakaway!
A stunning turn around.
Huge clear.
Atto thinks, okay, Vittura at least here has got a low 50,
but Vittura ends up flipping towards the left.
Maths intelligently takes it towards hits left, the Viterra's right, clears it past.
Lovely clear from Gentlemates. We have fake kickoff, Bruce is in the high end central, so not really to anybody on KC there he can find.
I can't remember. Oh, wait a second. Oh, bang!
Off the post! I was going to say, I can't remember the last kickoff that KC actually went for. They're all fake kickoffs at the moment from them.
I thought you were faking that point, were you faking it? They actually went for the ball.
Yes, juicy looking for the Tira, aren't she on the ceiling reset?
Mass, good catch, gonna just take it on the top, probably to have a
recent proper challenge. So once again KC trail and once again, KC answer!
To the ceiling as well from this ball and immediately
He leaves it, straight for the man.
Atta with three jumps, the call for the demo.
He is up before the demo even lands.
Beautiful play.
KamiCorp, they are revving that engine.
I think you haven't got to go too far
to find your MPG in the series at the moment.
That's the goat.
It's just, he's what they needed last game.
He's got the setup for that one.
He's on it at the moment.
And they need to just quiet him down a little bit.
That's straight to the path of Archie.
Oh, I'll ask you really what the preacher just far too heavy the first touch.
Stay at one goal apiece.
So he's on his way out.
This is not really an option.
And that was for Tira. He's pretty scrappy.
First few minutes of garden.
Definitely looks like Army Corp are trying to set that pace.
They're making sure that they are saying,
Guys, we can be better than this.
Let's really ramp up on all sides of things.
Archie attempts that bump.
That's the catch, but Juicy can then dunk him.
Oskar's trying to avoid that bump.
Gets the wave dash.
Tear up high, Nasta.
Tackle one, actually misses, and then causes a tear.
Just enough distress.
Make sure he can't get the second touch.
Archie cannot outpace the defender.
And so far, this has been a lot of play
from Carmen Corp.
That I think is showing their attention in this series of,
we are here to not lose again.
They're casing a free get to the ground
and they're looking comfortable at the moment.
I've got a talk for it just yet.
And they have to see this somehow, nowhere.
Be very careful, third map positioning in particular
has been key for Casey.
Archie goes backwards.
What is that so dare to challenge?
Right there in the end.
Two minutes on the board, Archie.
Once again, clear, into Aussie.
I mean, you know what you do with that challenge next, if you're Oskie, so just takes the 50.
Seriously, if you go over the top, Juicy now clawed in, that's a very wide angle, so
going to leave this for Ato, and they look for the player, but well done, Oskie.
Oh, there's a great bump from Archie behind, gets rid of Ateera, so Oskie then can continue
down the pitch, midfield, he's Nazco high, Oskie's waiting, trying to find some boost
on zero, there's now a 3v1 versus Archie, Oskie can dive back just in time, will help out
his teammate, but that was extremely risky for a good few seconds.
Juicy, going to go over the top, great challenge though from Oski.
Open for everybody, that's no trust to get there.
Great stop.
Juicy, towards the wall.
I think he's going to be following this one.
Back down, let's see, he gives chase.
Oh jeez, a second here.
I'm thinking I've certainly used it all that wisely.
Now he's going to have a second, this one.
Much better. That's the 50.
Losty, slow place.
Just gonna fly his way around.
On my left, what got each?
Casey's turn here.
Losty in that fat corner. Can't get it too far.
I should have to guide that.
From behind, he was seeing a lot of thinnest stretch.
Gentle mate's defense.
Finally caught by the front. They're biding their time.
Or perhaps gentle mates are, in fact.
Losty goes up high.
on GC, just comes a little bit more awkward with every passing second, but here it catches, resets,
Nasto to save. Yeah Nasto coming, this is just so early, is that going to be a restart, is that going
to be an air dribble, uh, demo? Oh! Brilliant start from Atto, but there's still a danger!
Here comes the follow up, both, just too slow! Who's to stop breathing for both teams? No one can
ever get the follow that they want! Atto shrugs not being bumped! Loose trap front sets with
There's too many players on that backboard.
Right on few seconds.
Where does he want to go for it?
Gass is gone past another one.
Juicy's on his way back.
Looks for the center.
And don't play there.
You then see Ahto try to take a swipe on Archie.
Up her zero towards the backboard to Casey that is dropped.
As they do.
Overtime in the coliseum.
Big one as well.
This could send Casey to triple match points.
That's the first, delays the second one, Oscar is expecting something.
So being a touch disappointed, I thought reset collected everybody on his way through.
And he is one to do.
Nas, leaves it. Oh, I think it's just a fake for Oscar.
He's not around.
Oh, she should be fine.
And pushes it to the corner.
Second fifty, though, that's all good for everybody.
Except for Nas too, just can't believe it.
And Juicy managed to end up on the perfect trail to follow that ball.
Fortunately, they have the speed to do it,
but there was no very nice play from the back wall.
See, one tap into the reset.
Beats one, but Archie's going to sit there quite happily on the floor
and wait to see what he can do. There's nothing.
Very, very back and forth.
Neither team really grabbing this game by the horns.
A reset. That could be on target, and Oskie,
he's nearly dunked Nass at his own goal line.
Yeah, that was very tough.
Oh, there you go! Out of nothing!
They look at this commit straight across the tier.
Makes him look silly, almost looks out his side window, winks at him and says,
Sorry mate, this is mine. Whips it past.
Gentle mate, tie the series to all.
The tier has got to be wondering, where'd you come from?
from. I just saw you double commit. I almost saw you scoring your own net. What is happening here?
There would have been nothing on the tier as radar that said, yes, player on the way.
That was ridiculous. Nass, clean as you like. Get over to it to each in the series.
And you know what? Despite the numbers, the Zintelmaid's doing the taking that game, the field
domination again 57% a huge swing towards calming cool there was 14% higher
field domination and they managed to steal away over a thousand more boost than
gentle mates they had ten more big pants big boost pills in that game
compared to gentle mates and they still couldn't take it the speed that they
played with you can see why they had so much boost and you see why that has to
and I love to see that. That
ends up carrying through over
towards these boot camps online
events. It's going so nice as
well. Whatever you play in those
sort matches or something goes
and just getting asked talking
about how good you are after
every single play. Mm hmm. As
a we do get ourselves ready. The
head over to game number five
who is going to match point
It's a match point.
Who is going to the lower bracket?
We're going to find out who's powers.
Oh, Juicy's got that kickoff a little bit wrong.
I was directly into his path.
But here he's trying to save it.
And Juicy's missed the ball a second time.
All right, he just needs a secondary calibrating.
He's going every player then, just thinking, hit it.
Hit the ball. Hit the ball.
I don't care where it goes.
Let's just do something with it.
I don't like it.
We got out of whack, and that was ugly.
But now, that's normality.
We're getting the flip, reset, and the ceiling plays.
As soon as it gets messy, I like how I can
It's in this lovely. Yeah, what we expect from Rocket League. All right, we want ceiling resets
We want flip resets what these edge all thumbs. All right, maybe some of you might be a bit disagree on that one
But I don't want them. What if I say I want it, but we do expect them to hit the ball on occasion as Archie
Blink you miss it after all it's Blinkton scored in his own goal
There's no go like that at the major as well and in Boston. What's that?
I
Know I was partying to I'm trying to think in between meeting stinky jelly beans
What actually it was that happened in that major?
We have a winner being a bit of a silly own goal in that one back didn't happen this time round thankfully
In partner parry in the midfield we see juicy now stop and slow it down
on that right-hand side, picked at the big 100 boost.
What's the ceiling? Beats one, beats a second, goes down low.
Archie, you had the least to do there, and you couldn't.
That was impressive.
That was genuinely impressive to completely miss the ball.
After it was on his way, he's got zero boosts.
That's hard to be fixed.
Right, well, this is...
Let's just reset everybody, shall we?
Shall we
There we go, Oscar's gonna saw us out. This is gonna be a great flight. It was it was fine
Does anyone want to challenge me almost feels like he's been completely left out everybody declined him
Oh, Archie, Archie! Archie, please, No, no.
No, we said normal, Archie, alright, you agreed.
Two minutes 40 and he's still just feeling very much like,
you look like a free-play ball.
What, are you just...
You are just hitting it. Oh, my God!
That is a free-play ball goal if I've never seen one.
He was lurking on the penalty spot, Archie gets into you,
and Archie goes, uh, skins it!
Wonderfully juicy, nearly out of Wanda save.
Baski will be the benefactor.
Baski just parked.
I don't know many Rocket League RCS quality goals I've seen,
where somebody is just parked in the middle of somewhere else.
As Baski's quite a fighter pass to somebody,
well, the other mates have got the first goal,
and they hold on to it.
That's been the difficult part for both teams so far this series,
as we see two 10s responding quite quickly.
Are they going to do it this summer out?
Who fair, mate? It is called Park de Paris, so the Oskie just took it a little bit too seriously.
So it was a move-in-face instruction.
Yeah, he needed Nass to help him.
He did that one, didn't he? Just...
It's not quite what that meant.
Nass, he just tips it on, so Archie can then follow up.
It seems too much from Archie in this game, so Archie on it in this game.
But in fact, actually, both Ato and Nass are under 100 points each.
Yeah, Ato's on 98, Nas is on a mighty 68.
And Oscar wants to try and carry it, it's all load.
Sometimes.
There's just two of them.
100 seconds with one attempt,
just trying to get that past that midfield line,
instead he goes in favour of Clermin Corp.
Do you reckon that'll pop it long?
There has just been very nothing,
but that is completely open, and Archie's this it wide.
You see, he has prime setup. He's got the tear up.
Here, it's quite like the look of that one.
Just over a minute left here.
It's been a very messy game of Rocket League.
Awesome. Oh, that's a beautiful touch.
I just got to try and chase though, because it was a double commit.
And now, that's a...
Oh!
That was disgusting, filthy, and quite frankly, not very nice.
The Nyshassid strikes again, fakes Hachou out entirely.
Again, looks out the window, winks as he goes by.
So, see you later, fella.
We're really... we're taking the dump.
I mean, he might have looked out his window real life as well.
He'd just watched Hachou come flying past him.
HE LAUGHS
Fanchi, she had to try and...
put this one completely to bed.
Tommie caught me, so it looks silly with that goal.
Now, now for the ground pinch, doesn't quite work.
40 seconds, KC, running out of time, running out chances.
I mean, this is where the Keepway ball has been so good, I think.
For both teams, really, this benefits Gentlemates only.
It's a lovely pass sent to a double commit on the defense,
but right now, Gentlemates can afford to do so.
Good recovery, it's a long shot.
Atter with little boost, can he get back?
And now, the Telegeny positions himself straight towards that quarter-boot.
Final 15.
In KaminCorp, it does not look like they've got much of a window through.
This could be match point for the Mates.
Patera, why the blonde?
Atto tries to send out his work-eva.
She's in front of every single player and another one.
Patera sidewall skin, but they've run out of time.
Double match point for the Gentle Mates.
As well, Atto calls the timeout,
Josie calls the timeout and Patera calls the timeout.
I think the KF coming court might want a timeout.
Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that they now get six minutes.
It's still only two minutes.
They've only been left to lobby. All of them are just left alone.
They need to go get on the placebo mobile, see what they can do.
Chat with each other to tell us.
Because sometimes it's the smallest changes ever that they make.
I need you to be smart.
What is different in these casts?
Someone's going to say, oh my god, look, the tier is now
got on the gun metal grey Christiano's instead of the black Christiano's and I'm
fit to know that I meant to see that you know you know that your special grey ones are heavier and therefore slower of course they made a
few steel gentlemen and then steal that game and make to earn it fair and square
and it is a lovely player from the messy game silly game goofy game all round
but they are the benefactors one more and they're gonna be heading through in
to these semi-finals on the other half two ninjas and pajamas the loser here there in
mind is playing against k-dop call you never get into this game with the triton or something
like that and we're gonna go no i just don't know what the difference is i can't tell you i'm just
not sparring spotting it's i use gibbs's car mate you can hear him you can see me that's
separate lobby. That is the loudest thing on the planet.
We're getting ourselves into
next match very, very soon.
What's the time out here is done.
See what they've changed.
But we are looking at this very moment.
If this goes as it currently looks like it will.
Carming Corp versus K-Drop Corp.
I need to see who's going to be
casting that series and
fingers crossed it isn't me or
you. I'd love for that to be
Gibson CJ. Yeah, that seems like
a them problem. To be honest.
If one of us is on that series
tomorrow, everybody, you know
that we are cursing the
negative. What do you know? I'm
there like in distress.
Let's go to Tokyo choker and the
series is far from decided as
the game. And I don't know
about it. I don't know about
it. I just wanted to get
excited. As you said, one more
for gentle mates, now going to
be going through into the
semifinals and their. Redemption.
I suppose heading towards this
Paris major. It's coming at a
good time, but they should
never been in this position
where they need to chase
points like this. I'll put out
like, I've checked our schedule.
It will be one or the other
we've got one of the two.
Really interesting. So one of
us is true. When this short
the game. I think he's going to
be the first guy. He can do
maybe like a run through for
most teams that he has been. This
is like, yeah, they've got rice
to do this actually for now.
We think we could just get rice
to where like one bit of every
match every team he's ever
played on. Well, I appreciate
that this isn't his series right
now, but. Redotion would then be
playing against three teams
So what a turnaround that would be for him. He's going through collecting the infinity stones
Don't be getting ourselves into this next game soon enough
Gonna sort some stuff out and then we'll be right with you. We'll build the tension. Okay. There wasn't enough tension
I don't know how there wasn't enough tension, but maybe it was just you know how goofy yes
Some of the goals have been that time for others. But you're gonna get more tensions we had sports
you're going to have to go to
Tokyo soon enough. And then
hopefully maybe we've all been
good. If we get our way, we can
go to Champions feel as well.
But that's only if you're all on
your best behavior and only if
coming up and find a way to
just settle down in this series
a little bit. And yeah, come and
couple think you're just playing
so erratically, but sometimes
it works in a sort of links. But
I think as people will sort of
playing privately as well. Sometimes the bounces just go for you. It just works and you are in the
right position, right time your teammates know what you're doing, but as soon as it's 1% out,
the entire machine falls apart. That's why it's felt like at various points of calming court here.
They're playing their inherent playstyle is so erratic and is so crazy that it needs to work
for them. It has to fall into place and as soon as it doesn't, which is on the rare occasion,
that it ends up just completely
falling entirely out of whack.
I think gentlemates are less.
They're less at the mercy of that,
right? They they they they
they they they struggle less with
that. I think comical can bring
it to that seventh and maybe even
win. But they need to just try
and. Steady the ship. I suppose
it's it's such like floaty
language, but it is just it's
you know, it's like, you know,
it's like, you know, you know,
you're not going to get one thing
and just go, it's this because
it has been a stop start series.
Obviously something like this
does not help either way. Um
where you're trying to find a
rhythm when a series where both
teams have struggled for rhythm
and we've now had an extended
timeout slash, you know,
technical problem. Uh to then
head into game number six. So
realistic. This is great.
That's bridge KC. They're taking their time out all three of them begged for it.
They got it and they got like 5 minutes worth.
Maybe if they called for 3 timeouts, that might have been a good idea.
All of them called for it.
It all worked.
They put misery in the rules.
Maybe it wasn't 1 timeout but he knew it was 1 timeout with the player.
It was a funny race to get into his teammate.
Who would be the slowest Esports on the planet?
That's probably me.
Because actually that would be 6 timeouts.
We'd get 1 after every game.
and the middle. I'm not sure
if he's going to be able to
get through some yet just
or it's. You see looking for
the tear up does get to
airman's Archie swipes the
ball off his plates.
See how he can approach in the
midfield. Can I get a pass
juicy so up high in the
centre? But he goes long.
Juicy reset ceiling second
charge. He fancied it and
juicy becomes online. I really
He's just players in the world when he is activated.
I've really not seen much from him so far.
Me, I forgot about Atto though, Atto's...
Oh, okay, but here it's just a set of the pitch.
It's all good.
He's playing for the chess.
Atto drops it down too juicy,
looking to just pop it back along.
Nass has got a lot of time, he needs to avoid getting demoed.
Easy enough for him.
Change the path of all of the Tyra.
Also, he might get bummed.
I think it's KC pressure blue just in case he really become animated in all of these challenges nice push-up reducing again
That's how cool to be in a material on the fully open there
it, both gentlemen's defenders beat the fate that Atto threw into the river.
It's just a tempo of rocket leap gameplay that really suits Casey, but it's slower like it has been.
They don't look happy at all, but when they can get that pace up and running, they can do stuff like that.
Tira's got himself another goal.
That was the better work there from Casey, just to slowly dissect the defense.
Archie. Awkward. Very awkward, I have a self-cousse.
Just pops the ball onwards.
That's just gonna look for the skip.
And as we hit that area, just not overly dangerous.
Oski called into action.
Got the 100. Challenge.
Ducey versus Nass.
Ducey gives that one up.
And then Osnass takes it.
Nice touch from Oski.
Cleared that away from Wombas.
Never better dunk from Ducey.
Gets rid of it, the cheeky bit all.
Don't be still from that, so Oski doesn't have to feel that away from him.
Then what was his?
Archie missed on the backboard, allows Juicy in.
I was seeing that third man from Casey, pulled a little bit further back,
but this time, we have not got Gendo Mates' thought even if all the corners were sent quite as often.
That's where the Casey at third man was not present, and where there was a real issue started.
Oski's on his way.
There's the series of trying challenge and juicy off the angle, but here's the
follow from Nass. What each? The most choreographed goal you'll see, an
air dribble onto that board, final touch, and then the next man follows up and beats
the defender. That is exactly how that goal is written up and how it should go
every single time the gentleman is right angry from the playbook with perfection.
Archie, goes immediately.
Ato.
Well, if they're rushing his control, can take the ball up high.
He's now on stereo, so he's going to need some help from somewhere.
It calls Archie in to help him, so he's the usual suspect.
Vatira.
We've Ato in support.
Nicely covered again there, gentlemen.
Right back with their opportunity.
Vatira, back forward.
That's going to take too long, Bowers.
That's got all the time to recover.
If you want to go for plays like that, you need to absolutely ping it into the backboard.
It has to be fast, and then bang bang, and then you're done.
You can't let that play, especially with three defenders waiting.
But regardless, Kateria earned a little bit of boost from the left side.
Oskie to receive from the backboard.
A reset, thinks his former team mate, and Juse is getting her out by Archie.
Kateria gets rid of him, and that's first go for that second run through.
Oskie again, sidewall.
Useful control goodness me the reason
Dive from Archie. He's didn't think Oscar would continue with the ball
Yeah, I don't think many people expect him to continue with the ball a lot of time is
That's there's an argument with her teammates
Archie on his way to the air boost
That's what happens here. I regret that
You see taking 100
Ceiling looks to go down one is just trying
But he's got it completely wrong
And KC weren't ready for it!
It's completely over and the final 40 who don't let one beat each other
It's a guaranteed fire burner situation
What on earth has happened to KC?
That's hardly...
Only one seconds and that could drop them into that lower bracket for Plagueid's K.O.P.
35 now
Atto looking for players looking for anything K.O.P.
Okay, oh, it's already happening. Oh, no. Oh, we're getting it.
JC, JC, and he's got six seconds left.
Are we getting K.Corp versus K.Corp?
Everybody, if you want it, you've got to press one.
If you're into makes win, we see the most confusing series and scoreboard in the game.
It's a low 50.
Finds Archie. Can he keep it high? Do we get the fables matchup?
And so he's got so little boost, they need to keep that ball up in the air, but the demo doesn't help, the ball's over for Tyra, and it's down!
Gentlemates, march on, they have secured top four, and we've got KamiCorp versus K.Corp, right up there with that very annoying 1v1 between Rebsi and Razia's already.
Will we see the Redocin revenge on all the way through teams that are his or his former teammates or his various grudges throughout Europe?
Gentlemen, they atoned for their sins in previous events. In open number four they failed, they fell on their face and it was a very bad time for them.
They have now got themselves a few more points and they are looking a lot more likely for that Paris Major. Top four secured.
And that looks to be bad news as well for K.L.Corp because that means that they stay five on points now guaranteed.
Uh, Liv. Uh, gentlemen, who are marching their way towards that top five.
But not the greatest luckily from either team.
However, one team won't care less about that stunting goblin.
The other one will need some answers heading in tomorrow.
Yes, well, thankfully for us we didn't go through any of this scenarios because we have got a lovely desk
This email to explain everything away for us
Common call perversive gentlemates was an absolute screamer neither team at that best, but we will see what the desk
What a day what a competition some fantastic goals and fantastic games to close it out here for playoff Saturday and
Man gives me get it. Hey, of course versus carbon core the as
As for told. As for told.
Whoever's casting that, I feel bad for them just a little bit
because you know they're going to slip off occasionally,
but it'll be a good time either way.
But for the mates, this was a huge win.
I know like, you know, they're major champions
that they miss out on top eight
and like they desperately need a top four, like at least,
and they get it here versus K-Corp.
They look like of the better team.
They look like probably the best team left in this tournament
or at least one of them.
So the mates have a real shot at trying to clinch up Harris if they can win this open after missing out poppy last time
but for K corp
it feels like it's the vatira show and
He's not getting much help like at this point CJ. I'm a little concerned for them
Yeah, you can see how I guess
Animated he was with the player camps as well. He was he's bumping up and down. He's landing 40 was he was you know expressing
How how much it meant to him?
But I don't know, it does feel like he's maybe trying to do too much.
I don't want to, you know, guess those sort of things.
But I feel like that final moment there, the last goal where Bitter and
Atto bump each other.
Second, third man is juicy, trying to make a solo play kind of just it really
summed up where KC right now, like the synergy is not there.
And that when you think of coming, you just think of a three headed beast, you
know, led by a coach, the structure, the organization with the organization behind
them. And that's just not quite, not quite hitting at the moment.
That's not the same KC we're used to saying.
Yeah, this was, I don't know.
CarmenCorp, there's question marks for me around them
from the whole season.
At the beginning of the season, I was saying,
there's nothing they can do that would impress me
other than winning World Championship at this point
if they win an online regional.
So what, it's CarmenCorp.
If they win a major, so what, it's CarmenCorp.
They got to win that World Championship.
I feel like I'm having to start to move that bar down, Gips.
I'm having to start to be like, no, okay.
There is room for improvement here for this team yet again.
Now, hold the phone though, because they're still in this tournament.
There's a very real possibility we see a brand new K-Corp tomorrow,
and they could run the table.
I would not be shocked if they won this open.
So there's still plenty of time there.
But it does just feel like it's very difficult.
You lose to your best player, and I thought at the beginning this year,
we would not have a more than a two-time original champion by any of these teams.
And K-Corp opened it up with two regional wins back-to-back,
and everyone's like, oh, K-Corp's here. They're the hottest team.
I think they're coming back down to where we thought they were where they're in this group where they lost their best player last year and draw Lee where like now they're you know there's parody like at the top of Europe we've seen many different winners team mates win
seen vitality win and we see K-Corp win and we could see a ninjas win they've been in two grand finals and loss so
It's gonna be interesting throughout the season
I think K-Corp is still relatively comfortable going into Paris
But obviously that's a big one for them that they want to win that
But there is a lot of question marks around them still and they need to answer them soon
Yeah, for sure. We take a look here at the the season points as they stand right now K-DOP Corp
You can't join the gen gentlemen. It's there now tied at fifth place with
gentlemen. It's getting that win and they will continue on here. Get up.
We're trying to earn more points tomorrow against Carmen core, but yeah,
the battle here at the top continue to tighten. It's only going to tighten here
as the weekend goes on CJ with vitality out of the picture. Yeah.
And I think man city there sitting in third equal, third, 12, 14 points.
That's the team that, you know, maybe a cable call or even I guess back in the
day GK maybe not now we're looking to jump it man. See they got a great
draw as well. They go with that low back and quarter final. They can get a top four. But
yeah, looking at this match, taking a look at the highlights. It's not that strong from
Gentleman. It's a lot what I saw from KC, mainly, I guess, from Vittiera. He was really
stepping up. I still don't know where Atto's at and Juicy isn't playing in that same, same
band of four that we saw in the first split, particularly early on in Copenhagen.
Yeah, but this game, too, was huge. I thought that kick was going to take over. They scored
at zero to tie that game up and then scored the overtime kickoff. So that was absolutely
huge for them, but it kind of like they won back to my games game two and three, but then after that,
the offense was just nowhere to be found.
Hey, you do. There's the passenger talking about there's there's few players CJ in the scene. I
think I would say are hungrier than Vitira to have. Yeah, I mean, it's like the first killer
like up there is like the people that are the most hungry to get that final big win.
Yeah, it feels like they just trying to find something that they haven't quite worked out yet.
They say that you're being more aggressive, but it's just not quite working
But we've got to give credit to general match nasa and alblok and fantastic that first event clearly is split wasn't a normally
They're back in business for sure
They're through to championship Sunday at the top four we are joined by nas to talk about that win
And this is maybe about kind of how the teams feel on the season
Congratulations on the victory, sir
or what a stylish way to bring it home for the squad.
And you're through to the top four for tomorrow.
Walk me through what it's been like on the gentleman's roster,
like coming out of Boston, you're on top of the world.
You go into open number four.
What happened there?
And now where you're at?
Like kind of what's going on?
Just walk me through that journey.
So yeah, we won Boston, which was an amazing feeling.
But we knew we had to run again to win the regionals
and open for a game.
I think we, I mean, in the way we weren't on our normal level, I mean, me, especially I don't think I played, I played really bad, I think, and open for.
So coming from that, I ran it a lot.
And I think the whole team ran it a lot.
And we knew we can, we have to do way better to meet Paris, to see all the fans.
And yeah, I mean, it's a good start now.
So is there extra pressure because it's a Paris major where, like, is there more pressure on the mates as an orc?
to make that easier compared to even Boston?
I would say yes.
I mean, Paris is like,
gentlemen is like, it's here in France.
So, I mean, there's gonna be a lot of gentlemen's fans.
So we wanna make it for sure.
But I mean, I mean, yeah, it gives a bit more pressure,
but I don't think we think about it that much.
And what's the prep been like coming into this split?
Like you win the major,
I always joke that Archie never plays the game with,
you know, where you guys too motivated coming in.
I know coming into Boston as well. You guys spoke about how you didn't scream for a while
You know you went for quality over quantity, I guess
What's that? What was the prep coming into this split though? Did you take time off? Did you celebrate?
Do you know how quickly were you back in the screams? What did it look like?
You mean after Boston?
Yeah, oh
I mean me personally after Boston
Like one I mean after travel there. I got a sleep back on the ground on the game
But I mean we took a break like a week or two week break and
then we started screaming again and
I mean we
We did the same thing with the screams
As we did before Boston we didn't change anything we I mean four open four when we I really thought now
We just didn't cry enough
Like Jews and just like an individual
Was there was there a point that series against Carmencourt felt very back and forth
But I can see that you were very much coming into your own there at the end of my brain.
I keep replaying that fake you hit on the Paris map or they end there to win it.
It was such a good goal.
Was there a moment where you knew like, oh, we've got this one in the bag?
Like you felt like you wonder, was it was it close all the way to the end?
After game one, I think we played pretty well.
So I think it would be, I mean, the stock is here, right?
Like it's going to be a hard game, but I think we could we should have easy one.
I think like for one, maybe a four road, maybe.
because I mean they got like a second goal and like a kickoff goal and like the goal where like we
bumped each other off the spawn which is kind of lucky but I mean it's always gonna be close against KC but
Yeah, I think after game one when we wanted I think it's pretty
Confident and we were pretty cool for balls. So yeah
Well, you look comfortable. You're in the top four here. What do you guys think?
Oh, I was just gonna ask one last question. Are you aware of the bracket?
Obviously you win that you're doing the top four you're on now the whip man city side
Was that something that you were thinking about going in that you want to win to get on perhaps the easiest side of the bracket?
Or you don't really care who you play
To be honest after right after result without the losing
It was kind of the same if we lost we would have taken Peter corporate into an NRP and I like
I think it would have been not a free final, but like a pretty easy final. I think mad city and NRP are pretty
Pretty the same
So of course we want to be in the top four for sure and to play to play that these games on the Sunday
Last question. I'm just curious with that karmic or versus k-dop core and then the winner plays ninjas
But jama's winner plays you in the finals obviously. Who do you think you're facing in the finals tomorrow? I?
Think we're gonna face
Carmel core, but I hope you play a kid up or
Let's see it happen. Hey, thank you so much for the time of the talk with us now. It's
good luck tomorrow on championship Sunday. Thank you. I appreciate it. Okay. He thinks
he's going to play Carmen core. You want skate up. I love it.
Well, I was going to say, I'm like, you really mispronounced KDAPCorp in a weird way. You
know, same party for, but yeah, there's a point wave. It's getting tight up in Europe.
It's, it's going to be interesting. Cool. Yeah. For sure. You're up the only one that
gets to send five teams as well. So kind of every team you see on that board actually
definitely in the running for being a representative for Europe at that super important European
land. CJ, I mean, I'm excited to see how things shape up tomorrow. I said it to you earlier
and I'm just going to keep on talking about it because I think it's really important for
me to notice like vitality up there at the top. They cannot earn points. Everybody else
on the page is going to earn some points. It's going to be such a close race and open
number six. Yeah. You mentioned that first spot opening up that was courtesy of coming
in Copenhagen in December, they might need that fifth spot at the moment. We'll have to see how they perform tomorrow against Katov Korv.
I love that NAS wants to see them in the finals as well. I feel like they're the people's team, not only for the viewers and the fans, but also the competitors.
Everyone wants to play Alpha again and Redo so they want to see them do well and have fun. So, yeah, great to see. Very competitive, but, yeah, that fifth spot might be crucial for one of those teams.
Watch out for a pack as well TSM. They're sitting third. Kino trope was number one
They lost to TSM for one today in the upper bracket
So TSM is trying to make a late push there in a pack and so such a such a difficult like brutal format for them
As you don't is there isn't clear on that graphic that a lot of those or a lot of those regions are only getting to send one team
Maybe two teams. It's as much tighter race for those teams as they're trying to make their way to Paris
They want to be that represented the champion of their region representing themselves in Paris
You don't have to qualify though
You could just buy your tickets and a QR code in your screen and get your tickets to the Paris major folks
It's gonna be a crazy day tomorrow
So we pave our way to crowning a new regional champion with vitality out of the way somebody will pick up the crown here
I want to start things off with Manchester City versus with eSports and Carmen Corps versus KDAPCore
The big the big battle of who's the KC. It's finally happening CJ
the game. If you have said
if someone just woke up from a
coma and then look at the
schedule, what is Kate? I've
got what is what is happening
right now. It's unreal. I can't
wait for it. Gentleman to look
in great. And I pay Gibbs
we cast that series. My goodness
against whip. If they keep
playing like that, that's going
to be explosive semi final as
well. I don't know who's going
to be in the grand final, but I
say gentle mates is the one you
a four point game to make the final than six points
if you win the open.
Basically, if you win one of these open,
you're going to be one of the top five in Europe.
So any of those teams have a chance.
There's just three wins away.
It's going to be a battle.
It's definitely Jellemate's side of the bracket to lose,
but Whitby Sports and Manchester City,
if they were able to do it, what a story.
It would be folks.
We're going to have that and more tomorrow
on Championship Sunday.
The pre-show kicks off at 4.30 PM Eastern Central European
time.
We'll have the game is at 5 PM.
Thanks so much for watching.
See you tomorrow. Appreciate Bishop Sunday.
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
something like I have for Texan just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a shocked face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much.
Try, um, Tuesdays are crazy.
You know, technically, you don't have to post
everything that happens online.
But that's not what I believe in.
Life is meaningless in that affirmation, am I right, darling?
What?
Don't hold back, don't hold back, don't hold back, galvanize.

I like the way that you say my name
In that unique number far away from distractions
The song that's special about the time and now
You're like how we're getting to the moment
Beat you like a man while I hit the washboard
Sound is special at the time of the night
Sound is the show that you knew in the night
You don't mind the night in control of your mind
This song is special at this time of night
Walking like it's my final day
Trying to find a moment to take it away
This song is special at this time of night
This song is special at the time of night
You're stronger than a shower
Well, you're better than an oar
Well, you're stronger
I
You're brave through the window, you're strong through the show, you're brave through the window, you're strong
