You gotta help me out, help me out
Swim in our shoes to breathe your life
Don't you ever get away
I just can't be around tonight
Don't you ever get away
I just can't be alone tonight.
Don't you hang up again, baby.
I just can't be alone tonight.
Don't you ever get baby
I just can't be alone tonight
Don't you ever get love again
I just can't be alone tonight

You have, have it just make me, talk too much with strangers.
The danger is
Get way too serious
Around family

Any wishes
But when I kiss you
I
And I don't feel like I'm in expectation
I'm in expectation
I
And then, we start the song
I wanna wait with you
But you seem to mind
Why not just throw it in the ground
We start the song
I
The world we used to know, is burning down.
We've been running for ages to search the ground, I want you, I know we both escaped to a
I'm not the way you are.
You see some love in me.
When does this love begin?
We step aside.
I'm not the way you are.
You see some love in me.
When I was just wrapping them
Took a long, well, long
I
Rockin' League fans around the world, welcome to Championship Sunday for open number five
here in Europe folks. On the road to Paris, six teams remain. One team will be crowned regional
champion and it'll be a new team. The reigning regional champions Vitality are out. Who gets to
pave their story today in gold? We are moments away from finding out. 28 moments and a half or so
before we begin the action again. Man City taking on with eSports. It's going to be an
exciting one. I got a show. I got a CJ. I got a stumpy. It's championship Sunday. Nice shirt.
I like it. Thanks, man. Yeah, I found it somewhere in my home and it's now on it's not a t-shirt happy day
I'm sorry that I didn't join jacket game. That's okay. I mean, I feel I feel on the dress as well
I kind of just got there the throat Jack
Maybe I need to get changed maybe we need to get change really suit up to this champ sonny
We all look at I will the blue is popping as it's a great blue shirt there
I like it so goes at the RLCS logo kind of just like sneaking out from underneath the
I need to oh yeah
No, but if you want one if you want a shirt that has that logo on it folks
Make sure you get your tickets to Paris because they will be selling them there
You can have a t-shirt all to yourself as well as one of the greatest viewing experiences of your life skin the QR code on your screen
Being the building when history is made gentlemen. It's gonna be a great competition
But before that we got a bunch of online action to get to we had some crazy online action yesterday
day crowned off by these five moments. These are the top plays presented by a progressive
shoker take it away. Oh my goodness. And how bad is it to start it? Then we have Seiko.
Guess what? You're going to be seeing it a couple of times here. Little bit of a backboard.
Reset. Double tap. That's how we are. Seiko. Nice. Nice and clean. Top in. Seiko. Nice.
That's it. That's disgusting. The world champion. For the former world champion,
I was going to say, the Rating world champion. We're getting ahead of myself. And Austin,
You look at this, general mates, major chance back in this off his own corner with a reset
and then gets the bump on back.
You look at this, he says, Juicy, I'll take that every day of the week.
Thanks for the pass, I'll do the rest over Ato, and then Vati, you're in massive trouble.
Beautiful girl.
You see that lovely girl, but in toxic, I think there's a little bit better.
From his own backboard, straight to the ceiling.
Uses that reset, gets it round one, then the perfect pop with no boost at all
can sink a top corner only has 100 boost and he still can't make it back it is the
perfect reset perfect placement perfect play incredible stuff we were hoping to
see good stuff out of the gentlemates after their bad open number four nas back
in style off the ceiling straight to RG small touch sorry vatira you know you
wanted to get in the way there not gonna happen this time gentlemates
with a second one over Carmen core in this tournament but it could only be one
number one that's the whole point of it and it is going to be
What are we talking about?
Thoughts! They are safe!
You thought you were a safe play in the 42 corners!
You thought that Seiko couldn't get you over there!
You were wrong!
What are we looking at? What does that mean right now?
It's the same game.
That is wild.
It's so silly. That's like sheer bull chase.
I'll see what happens.
I love that you didn't know what he was doing.
You have no idea.
Listen, I like luck is just preparation meets opportunity.
He's prepared, he put, he gave himself the opportunity, worked out amazing stuff.
That's how you win World Championships, folks.
That was the top place from yesterday.
Hopefully we get more of those today here for Championship Sunday.
And if you missed the action, you're like, well, those five plays didn't really summarize exactly what happened yesterday.
Don't worry, we got you covered.
We had four matches, went to Champions Field on one of them, had a sweep in the first one of the day.
day we'll start without actually as we as realized we had like the perfect score
gami of 41 404 142 and 43 well done good job
better shows in the back we did this awesome rules now pretty good stuff
um let's let's talk about that for the bottom one let's let's let's go from
well I guess we're to go from most boring to most interesting here man city
taken on gritty goose gritty goose making making a name for themselves in
the last few events but that name does have kind of two syllables in this
I think for me, like it felt like at any given moment, as we were saying during the castes that the City went into that series with the plan.
If they knew how they wanted to play and Gritty Goose didn't really threaten them on that particularly, they seemed scared to shoot when they got the opportunities.
They snatched to the ball every now and then. It was relatively close, but I never really felt a big threat from Gritty Goose personally.
Yeah, they were panicking indeed fans, Gritty Goose. I loved the way the Man City were peeking them apart.
the series weren't on. If you look at the individual game, so we're reasonably close, but then say goes up like that. Top play in a day. Have a look at the cheeky grin as I had no idea what was going on. You see Edgeby Laughlin as well. It went to overtime, as you said. So there were some close games, but
So there were some close games, but Acro is just cold series with a nice little
ceiling pitch out of his own corner and now stopping Man City confidence coming into today.
See a ceiling pinch for your own corner, arguably the longest shot possible in
Rocket League because you're like the furthest away in distance from the goal.
So what a way to crown that one off.
Man City is still alive today to play in our first match of the day versus
Whip Esports. We'll see them a little bit later on.
Let's talk about the upset though, Shogun.
This one was the exciting one going all the way to game seven.
Kada back in the house or at least in spirit taken on vitality and send them home.
Yeah the CEO he must have showed a lot of money for a team this good.
Out from it's Andrew Dosen. They have defeated vitalities. The reigning, well formally reigning,
champions of Europe. Not anymore. After they went into the opening two games eight goals to one.
This one. It's not going after that Stumpy because once that third game hit,
I know it was all my jokes about it, but it did feel like something special could happen in this series.
It felt like a perfect storm. Exotic that was imperfect and very much a nightmare for him.
Just thinking in his own corner, but it did feel like something could happen in this series.
I'm so happy that he did it. We get it. We get it. You predicted them. We get it.
Only one of us, mate, ended up saying it would have happened.
No, I was very impressed and reduced in CJ.
I think he took that series, not completely upon his shoulders, but he showed up.
He seemed to show up at such interesting moments in his career.
Yeah, I mean, if you guys need to check that series out, give it a re-watch,
because at the start of it, it just looked like a perfect sweep of Vitality.
They were absolutely all over them, but K-Doll called.
They just found a way in.
So during game three and then from there, you could see the pressure building on a Vitality.
They've got the performance coaches behind them.
They're at the office and then you're getting beaten by the old boys,
boys wearing using the vitality chairs still in their bedrooms.
I mean, it's fantastic to see.
And can the can the fairy tale go on today and how far that's
a question. We'll we'll see there. I mean, it was such a wild series.
I just to reemphasize how badly they were getting beaten there.
I mean, it was they lost by three goals or more.
You know, those five zero three one three zero in the three games
they lost in that series and they only scored eight goals total.
So a crazy series.
If that math doesn't make any sense, you go watch it.
I tell you, I'm not saying any false numbers here.
Now, speaking of the results, kind of flipping on their head here with e-sports made it to this point in the tournament because they beat ninjas of pajamas in swiss in five here.
Ninjas of pajamas gets that salty run back and continues the saga of getting the wins over teams that have formally beat them here in this tournament.
Ninjas of pajamas took this one down at five.
I think NIP for me like played again.
It felt sort of that city gritty goose style.
I didn't think that NIP particularly threatened at any point.
like there was a couple of overtime, but even then I kind of felt like NIP were pretty much
in charge of their series the entire way.
Scuppy, they were their own threat. That's the problem with NIP. This team is play-style-wise
inconsistent. Results-wise, consistent so far, so they're happy with it. But this was
just all that attack from both teams. I've never seen this many double commits in a series
in Europe in my life. I felt like I was watching OCE. It was absolute chaos showdown,
but we'll have a good fun.
I'm so happy you added that in the end because everybody heard the first half and just met CJ Seagate in a log.
That's not going to be allowed.
But I mean, as you said, to NIP, they are getting consistent results.
They are getting the wins that they're supposed to do.
Just don't beat them!
Is that going to sound?
Because while they can come back and always get the solo you run back,
obliterated WIP, they obviously beat Vitality as well.
They're consistent and they're pretty much a lock at this point outside of an utter catastrophe to make it to Paris
We're going to see them play a little bit later on today
Let's talk about the generalates rain major champions drop the ball in open number four
But have now beaten calming court twice in this tournament once in Swiss and now once in bracket here to be in the top four
And they're looking like tournament favorites here CJ
They're looking fantastic. I mean I actually thought Casey we're gonna get the job done Casey at home
not at their facility in France in Paris.
But, general mates, I mean, they were clearly in their facility.
That's the most pink room you'll ever see.
That's when, you know, the pink suits are in business.
They look fantastic. It was a close series,
but it kind of felt like the KC, the story of them,
is that they're not really in sync.
Fattira was being very aggressive throughout the series,
who looked aggressive in the player camps as well,
but it wasn't enough against the team performance of general mates.
I think the, I mean, me and Shagum are casting that one.
I don't know if you'd still agree, Shover.
During it neither team felt like they were out sort of full push they weren't a hundred percent
I didn't feel convinced by Casey into about halfway through the series at which point mates ended up sleeping them in that in those last three games
I didn't feel like mate particularly pops like throughout the series
They had moments, but I was by no means like wow, this is perfect rocketing
Yeah, it's I mean this spin the way it's been though for Casey ever since Boston
We thought they were going into that swordman as the favorites
And they're just not playing the same rocket league. They are completely out of sync at times
You know we saw so many double commits. I mean times actually zero commits
Where was the last time we got a no commit from coming called so yeah, they'll be upset
But they've got a chance to try and turn that one correct
Well, the teams have been earning points on the road to pair as vitality sits up on top of 22 points
But they've been knocked out so everyone else gonna be getting closer to that number as today's competition progresses
Ninja Pajamas, Karmicorp, Man City,
Jelonite's all still in the Hunt K-Dop corp as well.
So it's two through five here.
They're gonna be chasing down Vitality
and it's gonna be a very interesting leaderboard
when we conclude our broadcast today.
So we're not the only competition happening though
this weekend, Stumpy.
We've also got a few other competitions happening.
What's going on over in South America?
So as ever in South America,
there's normally a few runaway teams this season
seeming to be Furia and M-I-B-R.
Furia sitting on 18 points.
that's going to be a
final matchup. And that's
going to be a final matchup.
MIBR basically one win away
from them on 12 points. Thing
is pretty much every final so
far this season has the MIBR
versus Furia, so they're both
looking pretty much a lot to be
going to the land. The next
thing behind them is BS plus
competition. You see them
there in the quarterfinals
against Nova drift. That's
going to be taking place
after today's stream or
right towards the end of
a little bit but realistically it will probably be those two in the finals and
they will probably then just be battling versus each other for those seeding points
for the for the Paris Major and you look towards Worlds as well. Secret really
have let themselves down they have not been picking up the points where they
need to. They're third in the region right now but they have fallen pretty
much off a cliff when it comes to actually making these majors
unfortunately. Well they're still alive here on
Championships Sunday for South America. Twitch.tv.com. If you want to catch
that competition. This competition though for APAC CJ already concluded and TSM 4-0 over Kintrope.
Yeah just wrapped up there so hopefully you guys were watching it over on Twitch
Rocket League APAC official stream as well but TSM bouncing back that's huge they were top four
of after being the favorites coming in to this split the clear favorites in APAC Kintrope
won the first regional but the first qualifier should I say of the Paris split but this was
was just a complete bounce back from CSM, a four row response in the final was huge.
That means it's going to come down to the wire open six. So make sure you tune in in
a couple of weeks time for the final event of the region. We'll see if maybe KineTrope
can bounce back. My boy cashes down there at the moment that Sphinx is looking fantastic
on CSM wave. Do you remember when he was having a great time?
Do you remember when he was having a great time?
Did he just retire like six months? He doesn't stick with it.
You can take the competitor out of the competition,
can't take the competition out of the competitor though.
Take a look at the Paris major contenders points.
Those APAC region, that TSM win is huge.
It puts them right there within a reach of Kennetrop.
APAC only gets one team at the Paris major,
so they want that spot.
If they could take it down, that win was huge
to make sure Kennetrop doesn't have that larger lead
as they go into their final split there.
You're up though, you're stopping
gonna be getting five teams going.
So like everybody on the board in contention
to make it to Paris.
And you know what? It makes me immensely happy to see that the potential team that's going is toad in the hole with eight.
I appreciate, yes, we have Casey and Man City on their 14, gentlemen, it's K-DUG-110.
But just seeing toad on the hole in a graphic on the RLCS broadcast makes me genuinely extremely happy.
I guess I'll ask about three of you, but for the two British people, have you had toad in the hole? Is it good?
Many times. As a childhood stapler toad in the hole.
No.
Could we work on...
A simple high school is just giving that like once a week.
What is toad in the hole?
Hang on.
Toad?
It's like sausage and bread in the most unappetizing way presentable.
No, no.
Excuse you.
Yorkie put butter in hot oil.
You pour it in and then you put sausages in there and it cooks around the sausages.
And then I guess they look like little frogs in a burrow.
I don't know what the name of the frog is.
They don't look like frogs at all.
I'm looking at photos now.
I mean...
Oh!
I did it. I'm like, okay, we can move on for our ancestors.
Here's how things look for worlds, folks.
Gentlemen, step on top there for Europe as well as energy for North America Falcons.
Despite having a rough split here on the road to Paris,
are sitting on top of the Mina points as well.
TSM is sitting good right now in APAC there.
So that win today helping guarantee their spot at Worlds.
We'll see if they can hold on to it here.
OC very tight power sitting up on top though with a 10 point leader
They're hoping to hold on to it and fury a like in their spot on top of South America as well
So lots of stories happening all over the world make sure you're catching all the rock league action
That's happening throughout the course of the week. We've got 14 minutes until man city kicks off against with eSports
And we're all excited about that match, but we're also I think
Very very excited about Carmen core versus KDOP Corp. That's coming up right after it folks
We finally get to find out who the better case he is and it started all sorts of conversations across the rock league world of
Who, where did this team come from? Who are these people?
This is so interesting. Can we have more teams like this?
And we're gonna play a game called Build a Corp,
where we suggest a Rocket League legend,
and we're gonna name a team after a Rocket League legend,
and then our casters here, our analysts,
are going to build a team from all of Rocket League history,
because apparently retiring means nothing here in these days.
No, 2026.
So for any player that has ever played in Rocket League,
we're gonna put them on this team,
and we're gonna try and build it around a theme,
and we're gonna do that four times,
and then you chat are gonna get to vote
as we put them into a imaginary single elimination bracket,
you get to vote and determine which team wins.
We'll find out which is the best built-a-corp team.
You boys ready?
Mm-hmm. I'm ready, guys.
Okay. Okay.
Let's see. First team name.
I've submitted these to production.
Where to go with Gibbscorp?
Okay. So, we have to think of defensive players.
Or is it clutch?
Is it clutch?
Or is it win?
I feel like turbo is on this team.
All right, I'm going to put up name for them,
being Archie.
Okay, we have a win.
I'm not sure if he's going to give you a chance to get it.
Can I submit somebody who has Gibbs energy but isn't Gibbs?
Of course, that's the whole idea.
Very careful if this is going to be an insult.
Can I submit classics to this team, please?
Classic.
Classics, because he was on the river at the right.
Kind of the opposite of Gibbs.
He was like a first man.
He just rotated through the other teams' corner boosts
the whole time, back and forth, back and forth.
Gibbs energy, you know what I mean?
He does give Gibbs energy.
Who else was just an absolute, you know, cameraman for their two teammates?
When I think about Gibbs, I think about a player that's like, he's on the back line.
You're like, he's not consequential.
You're not, you're not excited with the way he plays, but he always wins.
And for me, that's Turbo.
I was also thinking for that, Jacob, because he wore a hat on his car, much like Gibbs
with the hard hat.
Is that a good question?
So Gene, a topper, is Gibbs's most defining trait?
Yes.
That's all I think of whenever I think of Gibbs.
All right.
Production has taken Archie one time. Let's put turbo on there. Let's put turbo on there. He's a winner. Yeah, he's arguable
I like I don't mind I don't mind classics. I think classics is a fun a fun old shout
Achie's in chat by the way you say come on Gibbs cool, so he's happy
Who does he want his third to be on this team?
No, no, no, he can't, he can't put Zen on GibbsCorp here.
Archie, Turbo and Classics I think is going to be Archie.
I want to be in those cards and good team.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh my, the vibes on that team is good.
That team is never going to soft touch anything.
That is through the ball every time.
There we go.
Wow.
There we go.
I like it.
Okay, cool.
Let's see.
Well, the GibbsCorp is set to go.
We'll see them play a little bit later on today.
Uh, let's talk about another Rikely legend.
This is, I believe, Torsos Corp is going to be our next teamer.
No, no, no, we're going with Johnny Corp.
What are you doing, Johnny Corp?
Okay, I've spoiled that we're going to do in Torsos Corp.
Okay, KBM players.
So this is Johnny Boy Corp.
Is KBM the most interesting part of Johnny?
Yes.
Uh, there's not much else.
He's not gonna be blessing him.
He's got him.
No, he's got him.
We have to go.
Johnny's boring.
Hit me out.
We only go for players with mechanics named after them.
Oh, okay. So really annoy him. Great call. All right, let's put musty in there as well. He's going to get he's not a problem
We're going to put him in. She's squishy. Squishy cooks here. Squishy must be cooks. There's a good team.
That's a cook said I think yeah, he respects the cook's pinch. I think he does.
Oh, what about the most pointless stupid name mechanic I've ever heard?
Evan for the evan pot. Yeah, Evan.
Put Evan in there.
Evan just like randomly catching strays on the stream.
I can't believe it.
I mean, it's a must-have for you, Evan.
Which one? Okay.
Brazy? I'm Brazy.
What? No, let's go.
Squeezy? Yeah, Squeezy, Brazy, Musty.
Let's do it.
Let's put those three on.
On the team here. This is good.
By the way, just naming like no
We're not
What is that? I can't believe how you get it to make the team. Oh true. Oh goodness me. I forgot about him
Oh
Bummer there musty squishy and breezy gonna be playing here for johnny boycorp, which is very interesting considering what our next team is
Given that we have musty squishy and breezy on johnny corp
Let's let's let's let's reveal the next the next team name here
Where are we going? I actually don't know which one it's good
Hopefully, hopefully productions following me here. Yeah, so musty corp
Musty is not playing on musty's team because that's not how it works. K-Duff is a player K-Duff corp
I've also realized by the way, we did really well for Johnny corp because all of them ending E squish E
Perfect. Yeah. Oh good branding good branding. Okay. Okay. I can't hear that
We could do content creators who have been substitute players on teams, but never actually played in the match
I don't know. There might be two. Yeah, Jayzer's a good one. Jayzer's a good one.
I think Jayzer on this.
Reddles? Oh, nah, he is alright.
Oh, he's just played a few times.
Mercy?
Bubbles stuff?
I think it was Azra ever and some.
We can have Alpha Kepp.
Alpha Kepp. We've got to be Kepp.
Put Alpha Kepp in there.
Do you remember Chat gets to vote on who wins this tournament?
They're even going first and winning.
Okay, so we can not alpha it
Nothing left me a proper law
Oh, let them here. Let them here in Chaser. All right. Chaser alpha kept left them here. I like
Hey, you know what this this this watch shaped up. Well, okay. Okay. I like it. I like it
Chop everyone you get to vote on these later. All right
You get yes vote on your settings in the ground. Yes, you would have been a great pick in that actually
Just but yeah
Unfortunately, unfortunately, that's gonna take the spot there. Did you see his new half-corp map by the way?
Check it out. It's really cool. I actually very excited to play that.
He's not trying to freestyle on random maps.
Production had the spelling correct before it was just JZR. That's okay though.
Let's move on to the final team here. It is, I did spoil it earlier,
Torsos Corp. I feel like it's the players that just won't go away. They continue to somehow make it to land. I like
Jaynaps
Garrett
Alpha 50
Okay, I'm gonna say I'm gonna veto Alpha 54 because he's on KDOPCorp. We can't take him off of the other team
Oh, that's true. He has a team. He does have a team. He's on a team. So
Jaynaps has to go on.
Jaynaps
We could pick one from each region like Yan maybe
From South America like who's the longest running player in each region
each region. Can we can we put the captain on there because he's still trying to qualify?
I think so. I think Garrett can go on there. I like Garrett.
He's still out there on your multiple region thing. Can I float out there like an Armad
or like an Ocalid? Somebody like that who's like around back in the day and kind of just
kept going to lands. Yeah, I feel like I like Armad as a shout just because you're
here for how long he was playing before even Mina was a region, you know. What
What about speed or a lighting wave?
Oh, yes, I don't mind lighting a wave on that, that's fun.
I don't mind it.
Give it a wave.
I'm always partial to my boy.
Oh, they put it on.
Oh, man, I can't believe you liked it.
Honestly, honestly, a full sabbile squad.
Janehub's scared.
You see that coming at you in a bracket?
Oh, my goodness.
They locked it in.
Okay, we are at six minutes.
We spent so long talking about this.
We're actually close to an actual game.
Let's run the back bracket real fast here.
I think we're to do Caster teams first,
Gibbs versus Johnny Boy,
I believe is going to be on one side of the bracket.
Gibbs, Corp, Johnny Corp, here it is.
All right, chat.
Vote, vote, vote, vote.
Who do you want?
I give it to Moe.
Okay.
I really remember the teams.
Okay.
Johnny was squishy, breezy, musty.
Yeah, and then we had classics.
Jacob, classics.
I hope Jacob made him.
Turbo.
It was Turbo.
Archie, Turbo and Archie.
Archie Turbo Classics versus Musty Breezy Squishy.
I mean, they got a World Champ a piece.
Yeah, that's true.
One of them's got way more World Championships
than the other one, but it's still there.
I think you'd have matched.
I just don't feel.
Oh!
Wow.
That's a close one.
But Johnny is climbing.
I think Johnny Boy takes it.
Johnny Boy Corp.
Johnny Corp going to move on to the finals.
A rare upset for Gibbs in a competition that
doesn't involve playing Rocket League.
Yeah, Johnny weren't like he's team like I feel like there's some conflict
Does not want this to win Johnny Carson never said any of their names
Please lose please lose please can't believe it. All right. Well, that does leave
musty corp versus torsos corp musty corp being
It was oh my goodness. I'm playing on a whole team jayzer
Alphacap
I'm breezy
Alpha let me the Michael left the mirror was let them here. Yeah. Yeah, and then yeah, Breeze was the last team versus
Ahmaud, Gary G and Jane apps
On paper on paper. This is this match is one chat. Do you this should only go one way? I
MC from musty corp
TC for Torso's corp going by Raleh the names again
Torso's corp was Gary G. Oh
Oh my gosh, this is so hard.
Jax and Ahmond versus Leathermere, Jayzer.
Nice, that sounds good.
We should have raved down, everybody anywhere.
We should have just literally just raved them down somewhere there, yeah.
We should have played for all four of us to see.
What a great competition.
Let's make teams forget about them and the vote on them.
TorsoS corpus winning, look at them go.
The power of Garrity and Ahmond.
They're climbing.
They're climbing. I think they got it. I think they got it. Oh, look at them go.
All right. So this leaves us with Johnny Corp versus Torso's Corp for the finals.
Chat. Who's it going to be? We got to run through it quickly here.
T.C. on one side, J.C. on the other. Squishy is
Squishy Breezey musty on the Johnny Corp. Johnny Corp cannot win this.
Oh, my God. Johnny Netsch, Garrett. Oh, man. He's great.
You know what's really funny is through this entire conversation,
I could have written it down so many times.
I keep it out writing it down. I have written both in in the chat. Just our finalists. I've got them in the chat
Okay, Chad the finals are up the finals are off. Who's it gonna be squishy breezy musty janef scared. I'm odd
This is a big one or is it just who do we like more Johnny boy or torsos, which is it Johnny boy or torsos?
Why is it Torsos chat? I think he's so lockable isn't he got it? It's got to be nice this guy
incredible person
And I'm so excited to find out
Wait for Perrion some sort of rapid fire the next segment. He is gonna be
Fine the players are ready like we're gonna chase someday okay?
It's gonna be a great time. I can't wait. I just want to give Torsos a win on the RLCS stage here
This is this is the big one. Don't give it to Johnny check. Come on. You got it. You got it. T.C.
This is T.C. I'm back. He'll never let us live. He'll never let it down.
He'll never let us live.
Johnny's entire thing is that he's always mid table. He's never been first, never last.
If you're a Johnny boy fan, you're voting against him here because that's what you do.
More accurate Johnny boy. Yes.
Congratulations to Johnny on a very narrow victory in both his matches here,
here, but it's going to be squishy, breezy and musty for the championship of the build
a corp bracket. Incredible. Build a bracket, build a corp. We built a bracket, we built
a corp, we built four corps and then we crowned a champion. And now we're going to crown a
second champion here for championship Sunday. That was a fun game. That was pretty cool.
Folks, if you're watching at home and you've got family and friends who want to
watch the game, but maybe aren't familiar with watching from the like, you know,
player's perspective, they watch sports or something. Check out the RLCS crowd
push.tv slash RLE sports. It has a camera on the sideline of the pitch. It's more similar to watching a normal sports viewing experience there. Maybe check it out. It's a fun way to watch. Fun fact, this is like how I usually watch when I'm casting Rock and League. Let's talk about the prize pool, folks. 18 points and $21,000 on the line for the team to take the top prize today. Those 18 points, certainly important on the road to Paris as well as the World Championship. We had four matches yesterday. We'll have five today. We played through those round one.
matches and now it's time for those quarters, those semis and the grand finals.
Karmicorps and KDOPCorp coming up a little bit later on. I'm excited for that one, folks.
We'll also have those semifinals with Gentlemates and Ninjas Impajamas coming up a little bit later on.
So five matches on the day, the grand finals to crown it all off. To kick us off here with 54 seconds till they're ready to go,
let's get into it. Man City versus Whip Esports. Whip Esports, one of the biggest stories of the weekend.
Does it end here Shogun? Do Man City end the story prematurely?
I think they're going to be
really good at this. And take
a breath, my friends. No,
you know, I think I'm seeing
just the best squads to be
honest. They've been playing
so well. They've got a team
stumpy that just seemed to
be able to very be very good
at punching down, which is a
very good quality in a
regional Europe. Yes, and
they're very clearly past
their time of having the
wobbly that they had and
the kickoff plan. I think
that's very much behind them.
They carry third in Europe
when they're tied up with
I think we've done a fantastic job of going through in the uppers.
They've now got to a top six.
I've noticed the incredible feat, but I think any team that they hit here
is going to be that step above.
So I think Man City for me are just that bit better.
CJ, if you disagree in your mind, we've we've we've got over the little hurdle
of getting out of groups, which has been huge.
Swiss stage has never been a problem for them.
There's six and 0 through the Swiss so far this split.
So they've got the potential, but this is the level they need to step up to.
They need to break through and it is kind of top five, top six barrier.
They would be a big win for Whip if they were able to get there.
They are a work in progress, but they said that for their mantra,
that is that they are always trying to improve as an organization,
never count themselves as completed here.
Hashtag WIP, if you think Whip's got it.
Hashtag MCFC for the boys from Man City.
Man City has only lost one time so far in this tournament.
They went 3-0 through the Swiss and 2-1 in the groups,
that one loss coming to Carmencourt.
But then they bounced back yesterday,
I think they'll take one with
the apple. Okay, All right,
Shogan. I'll be mean on this
also. We are for the Manchester
City having a little down nice
and quickly. I think I was just
able to both right now is the
best player right now of these
six. Listen, I want to see. I
want to see the whip story
continue. The best thing I
can do is cast a curse them on
the desk here, so I'm going to
give them the complete sweep
will hopefully help will find the truth.
Seems like the desk is relevant sometimes to these matches,
folks.
How does champ feel about it?
71%, this is clearly.
Man City's match to lose, and they're ready to lose it,
folks.
Whip is locked and loaded.
Can we make it happen?
I'm excited for it.
Championship Sunday, six teams remain.
Only one can hold the title of European regional champion.
The road to that championship match starts right now.
Man City in the blue.
Whip also in the blue.
Which blue will prevail?
Let's find out.
Get up and get loud.
It's game day.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Manfield.
Welcome to your quarter finals.
We have Man City versus Wip,
a lot of Paris major points on the line.
Stuffy, game one presented by progressives.
Are you ready?
I am very ready and I hope that Wip
are ready as well, bless her.
We've not given him too much of a chance here,
I don't think.
You have disrespect.
The disrespect, I feel like Wipo's gone through Swiss twice,
3-0, 3-0, they can definitely perform.
But they perform when the lights aren't the brightest.
Now we're on mantle night, and these lights are pretty bright.
It is going to be tough.
See what toxic can do.
Here, all distorted opportunity.
I thought yesterday, toxic didn't have his best day.
So Wipo didn't look at the best.
But if you can pick it up, what
she did later on in that match,
So I don't think we have a chance to at least put a kneel.
So yell and then after that, who knows?
I think that we have got, and yesterday I didn't think that
any team could keep incredible opponents
or outside that came up called Siri.
I wasn't very impressed with anyone.
I think that when you look towards Manchester City,
though, even though they were playing their game
and they're playing very good game,
I don't think they were at that top level
and they still haven't got a full row.
My god, I think that is a very big statement
that they made coming through.
You make a good point as well about doing very well in the Swiss,
but then not being able to have that continued through into the playoffs and the group stage.
It's a really hard mission to be in. It is a completely different find.
You know what your opponent's going to be. It's not just series, series, series, back to back to back.
You have to play this one and then see where you're in the first half here.
But I mean, so far, it's not compared to level 0-0.
So I can see how they shift from the boys.
They're going to be able to bring it back over Man City.
We'd say, but yes, that intro particularly, that jewel ship was remarkable.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
But Man City did trail in three of those games as well.
They did make the late comeback.
So Man City was not perfect, though.
I'm losing 4-0.
I think they want to open up these games.
We lose the quicker accro.
A chance here.
But in the central win, they played on the weekend once before as evil in two,
and they lost four to one to Hidamama's back.
They got us with like 15 to seven.
So, the weekend games have not been their best moments, but it's now or never, you know?
You need these points, those two are short. Seiko though is playing, lights out, almost puts it home by himself in a preview one.
First on these two teams have faced each other so far, so it's going to be a little bit of an unknown entity on an unconstitutional both sides.
Seiko to the backboard, ends up faking it! An ethical weight there to pose.
There's a really lovely fake who's saying,
because even so threatening, you have to respect whatever he does here,
he ends up flipping completely away from the ball,
compact buys it, and so HB can wait,
or hook punt it in.
Lovely fake, same Billy.
Take-off, motivation.
You get motivated when you get kicked off of a team,
and he is looking like one of the best.
He has looked at it years ago, but that's actually quite pretty well of Boston as well, so...
He's looking great.
That's why man Chester is probably going to be one of these top five teams, especially if they get the spin.
That's a few points for them, so that's what they're looking for.
That's an actual pro with D, but man said they got there early, they finally see if they can hold the season.
And on that point, Gibbs as well, that's the best case scenario for that.
And ultimately worst case scenario for everybody else that is below them.
They've got what I would say is the easiest team left in this bracket to play against.
They are very much expecting to win this one for sure.
And then it means they can just get themselves
a little bit of my rough compared to
everyone's my rough team that is sitting beneath them.
And Seiko, another involvement in the end of the goal.
So they're leaving this corner,
but this time he just doesn't do anything.
Again, another little fake,
and then he forces the own goal on top six, Seiko.
Being patient on that back wall,
but he's got so much space and time,
whip, fast to figure it out.
Yeah, if you are a fan of basically any of the team that is currently not locked in for that land, or at least, you know, in spirit boxing, you know, you come in force and, er, gentrify this quote really, you want to be rooted against man at city, you need this WIP with, if you're a GK fan especially, and there's a lot of you out there, make sure you're rooting for WIP after when you do get any of these goals.
A bit of pressure for the Potoxic, but no boost, he has to try and squeak away.
Just get a stealer boost away from Man City.
Ender, applying on this situation, complete resistance,
ensure Akira and Seiko have to commit together after the food line.
A recent toss is called completely off his line and gets long.
It is three for Man City.
Seiko again, this time on the counter-check, and I'd like to play out of Akira.
He had no boost, he let the ball kind of fall in front of his net.
It faded in a player on whip, and it turned into a brilliant counter-attack by two other, then Seiko again.
And that was 100% goal involved so far in this series.
Very played from here.
And Churgen said, he's just the best player on this pitch.
And I think that he does the get incredibly well-enabled by both of his teammates.
Acro in particular, I saw a pretty interesting screenshot of Acro's saying in 2020, I think it was.
He said, I've only got one or two years to make it.
I'm really struggling to get in the top 48 in Europe.
And it's inspirational to see the praise now that he is getting the quality that Acro in particular is putting forward
to become an incredible threat against a lot of teams in Europe.
Yeah, it's so hard to make self-compact there.
Have a chance.
Everyone diving out is for a win, but they don't get the goal.
They keep possession, though.
They have to score here.
Get a flipper step by comeback, and the aerial punt.
Toss six, ties in.
But Akro, big clear in that.
Shulin solidified game.
One here for Manson.
Final 15, and realize they have not seen too much favor
of with e-sports.
Eight out of six shots in total.
but I've thought that there's been like two situations where I think they've...
Yeah, maybe Gordon and Larsen in particular was one where I think
it could have been a relative tap in.
Kind of a couple of seconds open, and City, and Sacred in particular.
Wonderful performance to start off-champ Sunday.
Yeah, and this is great for them, again.
Their last match, yes, it was a 4-0, but they trailed in three of those games.
Two of those games, they trailed like two goals that time.
So Man City, they began hot, that is a great site for them.
Game 1 convincingly goes to Manchester City.
What is going to be the solution for Whitt, E4's a 3-0 in-game 1?
If it is, it's about multi-store on that, yes, yes.
With Game 1 called Manchester City by Diablo, they got 5-0 in-game 1.
It's all coming down to theory, so...
It's sad that you could look towards, but it could not be at the point
where the game was not being where it goes with FB7
and points to best of 5 so they won't be speaking to those groups
and then just listen to Ticula,
he does a slightly different beat.
He's trying to wrap your head around.
Seiko though, 700 plus points for him.
Two goals, and one pass to play as well,
as you can see right there.
Two edge plays, so well done for him.
Playing well in the corners of the got-to-counter attack
goal as well, forces an own goal.
He played light out, so if he keeps that up,
then I guess the desk will probably
be right in this feeling very quickly.
going you can get to these positions like Akron has found himself in and say
go yeah I don't think there's much to be honest right now but we have done that
is going to be challenging him whatsoever yeah it's gonna come down to midfield
challenges right there Akron has a chance at a shot but just seem like
Wip was being outplayed throughout most of that game but it was just game one
we'll see if they can turn around here and get better midfield challenges
Now we got top back on the ball, we got a full tank.
That's where we're going to use our top,
so not much boost, accurate with the demo, plus a pump,
but no counter-attack available.
That's the middle of the seco, let's get it set in touch.
Day shift, they're diving there, you might be a bit loose,
so it's going to be slow to get back.
HV up onto the ceiling, one reset,
we've been luring, nobody, day shift, great patience there.
Hazen just waits back,
thing what HV is able to put forward,
I'm gonna comp half a little bit of space.
That's gonna pull strength towards Seiko,
but folks that can dive in pinching it field
once the cat for Akro,
which I have pinched here, he does.
Now again, Dayshift's doing really nice shadowing.
He's just having his presence just known enough,
and that's a shot from Toxic Dayshift.
Shoot Ove himself and Akro can now go for a counterattack
versus Compact takes it to the wall.
And I really like that series of play,
although it might not look to be impressive
by Dayshift in particular.
Yeah, and then Wip had all the boost as well, so there was no counter-attack opportunity.
Acre just had to go north and south, and try and make the play by himself,
because his teammates had nothing in the tank toxic now.
Winsomidfield chow station with the shot top right corner.
Chesswide compact another chance, but a big time save by Seiko.
It already creates pressure though.
I think Wip, there's many chances in this game as they did in the previous,
and we've only had a minute and 40 seconds.
Seiko tries to get a compact out of the picture, but Compact can save.
gets it as far as Akro on that left hand wall.
Ground pinch potential.
Nickrel double.
Very close to securing it, but come
kind of get up from his own backboard.
Onto the reset, above from HB.
Topsek shoots it high again.
Ah!
And now the counter is that comes application.
Is there in time for Topsek?
That was the problem yesterday.
There's a roll one inside the net.
Well, Topsek versus Akro, so we get a little 2v2 action.
Seiko beats out Gayshift and everything's going wrong.
3v3, 4-2-2.
He's getting a bit fakey.
Look, Seiko slows it down, forces
that he's shifted diving completely.
Shows in, makes him show his hand.
Seiko can then just chip it over, lovely play.
And again, Seiko is just in their heads.
And they're so aware of what Seiko is capable of,
and they want to shut him down.
And that leaves him completely susceptible to fate.
Nice little pinch there, Dayshift dives at it, but cannot reach it.
Contact though, will keep possession against the demo first ever, but Dayshift thrown it deep in.
Wiped at least, is getting a lot of offensive moves. They have five shots so far versus two,
but obviously one of those was in a 2v2 spot where Man City did score.
Well, take with the reset, did secure, your hands are going low.
After I can meet him there, I have to say, good with the side wall.
Now on the side again, come back and pump it away from it.
Second is not going to take that chance at all.
That gamebump, they shift into toxic.
Now it's a 2v1, Akra can go low and then it's an own goal.
They shift, helps it in.
Everything's going wrong right now.
The double pump and Edgeby goes for combat.
Combat does so well there to try and keep it out.
The day shift, just trying to get back
and be as close as possible to wherever that ball spills out.
He can make a read.
The problem is, he goes right in front of her, he had no boost, so he's trying to get back as quickly as possible.
Like, I get the idea a little bit unlucky, but also it's because they have no boost, because they're all getting bumped out, so he had to hurry it, and that is the result.
But the best-case scenario there is that Compact manages to get the save and he kills it on the goal line.
You're normally out, it doesn't help. Like, you're basically playing Compact's best-case scenario to make it into a worst-case scenario.
scenario. I don't know about the nation at all. I get that he was obviously struggling
and had no boots, blah, blah, blah. I did that position. He was pretty awful, unfortunate.
He was going to leave to the final 90 seconds and yet again they are chasing a handful
of goals.
Yes, this is Rockwell's Utah. He can do, gets a little bit of a demo into Acro versus
Compaq in this corner here. Compaq is going off to seal it, but gets faked out. Brilliant
play there by Acro to beat out two members and gets a 50-50 challenge as well.
It's beaten high and central. Toxic side-flips allowing Seiko to come in.
Time for a second touch. He's a lot of boost. That's going to be a 2v1 by combat.
He completely runs out. Akra on the reset. He had it.
That was a very threatening chance, but a great save from Toxic does keep it away.
Now we've dived under one minute remaining.
Still waiting for Whip to score in either game.
Yeah, Whip began this game a lot better than their end right now.
ended right now but you suggest come back with the shot again it's high toxic for us and high as well
and they just don't have a finish how many opportunities do you want with just a bit lower
go on just for me just a bit lower she's on target come on they're getting registered again they are
at nine shots in total but you need to get it more well hung effort to be threatening so what's
Those are their party winners and they're one that secure it.
They should think of them all to pass from Combine.
They break the drought.
Finally, we get a little bit of a fake here.
Turns into a pass and Acro just has to sit up
the ball line and dive at this.
They shift brilliant placements, a whip.
They are alive.
They probably need a good kickoff here.
Final 19 is HB.
If it's through on the fake kickoff,
Combine can find Deci.
Oh, Deci, can he do it on the ceiling?
No second touch, he gets the reset.
Really nice delay on it, but the final 10 now.
See if Knapp actually gets the back mid,
said Akra's gonna get the big clear,
it's gonna hit zero,
Taksa gets a chance at a shot.
I honestly do not know what that was.
How do you not do something with that?
Yeah, that was rough.
There's been a few scenarios where I'm just like,
I don't know why you've done that.
Top top went up a couple of times with low boost,
and he just flies towards it with zero,
and then he's so long getting back down.
The only thing I could think of is he thought the ball
was going to bounce with a tiny bit of time left,
so he's like, takes the first touch,
and he's going to float and then go for the bounce shot.
But it just looks brutal that way.
And I feel like toxic.
We saw it yesterday versus Biff.
Like in the early games, he had tons of scoring opportunities,
and he missed a bunch of them.
And the same thing is happening here.
and we'll take your time out here being down to it.
Yeah, it's great times for it.
I've seen nothing of them, to be honest.
Yes, this was a 2-1.
That was the only moment where I thought,
yeah, that really should have been the goal,
and it was, and so they've been well in that moment.
I've been a little bit disappointed seeing them rush,
essentially, and hey, Britishers look very similar.
It's like we saw a pretty goose yesterday as well.
Van City playing their game quite happily.
They're like, yep, we're going to be quite mechanical
with these to the front.
We're very sort of a veggie and we're gonna just grind out a few healthy wins and I am I want to see more
I want to see more cohesion with with I need to see them play together a little bit better and try and just disrupt with this man city machine
Stuff it's a tough task because like very go through Swiss and go for these three O's
But then you go up against the top tier teams
and it is very difficult, not only because they're top tier teams, but also now you're playing on the weekend where everything matters and
The nerves are like an all-time high and it just feels like toxic right there
The nerves kind of hit him didn't know exactly what he wanted to do on that shot
But that just has to be cleaned up at this point of this time out. It means everything to them
I they need a kick-off play. I think right away
I mean, Toxic as well, he's played for a long time.
He has been, you know, he's played on big stages.
He has been a Team England player.
He's been with Endpoint.
He's been all over the place.
Like, I have not seen that player in this series so far.
It's been a player that looks rushed and a bit worried.
I've seen Dayshift at times, as I was praising him for,
you know, very impressed with his patience.
That goes so far.
The amount of times that they shot over the bar,
expecting them the second or third man to come in for the next shot with a nice alley-oop and it never came in
It must be frustrating for them. I'd rather just take a shot on target
Make it convincing and then I hope that then you draw our defender into a poor safe. That's what he feels like a better plan than going for the crossbar
Yeah, but I think a few of those two were just four shots
They're just not there in time so they have to go for that half volley but then it's too hard to hit because they're a little
far back so
Try and move up the field a little bit more be more confident playing your place might
Wonders here, but we'll see what happens Asia for the round two of them
Seiko's last man back toxic with the shot. He will get the finish there
Well done by Tisha feet down all three number now one that in the second the third time to not speed with zero boost
The alceaco
Incredible play toxic there again. You should say hi brilliant the next one's there. That's why I wanted to see
I want to see that aggressive positioning and they plan for each play
day shift enabling whip in this third. So they have their first lead of the match
so far see if they can hold on but we saw Van City yesterday they always come
back. It's going to be very difficult to hold this for the next four minutes.
Was it what every game apart from one the Van City went down in? Yes and the
The one that they didn't was because it was 0-0 in two overtime.
So, yeah, so that was the only game where they didn't try it.
Yeah, they used to play from the deficit.
It's a scary situation for Wim.
Hoping that we do see them, you know, make sure that they will battle through Man City.
And maybe think, yeah, well, we might concede a goal,
but let's make sure that we get one, just for a little bit of safety.
They should, they should again.
They should again, yeah.
And Seiko has a little bit more wherewithal.
Can't clear away.
Now, Cobbac going up against Acroloon. He gets the bump out.
Almost gets the touch due.
Dayshift gets the clear. He avoids the bump as well.
So, in fact, he's supposed to play five holes.
Speed from Seiko, and he has a lot of respect given to him there.
Oh, goodness me.
Compile lands on it absolutely perfectly to get the save.
If you get it clear here, Dayshift will throw it deep.
A lot of moves from Ant City. Seiko here again.
We'll get back to Warner, but toxic mid-time clear to relieve the pressure.
That's chance for reset, Acro. One, two, but compact again.
Patience and waiting. Maybe City just need somebody to dive up onto the ball a little bit earlier.
Just a go maybe go for a bump or two. They've got very good defense at the moment in this third game.
We're halfway through though, and Seiko got a lot of space, time, low boost, so it has to go via the mid boost.
come back is going to interrupt him great invasive play there and then a double
command ball from day ship. Tatsuko will continue this push he gets the past mid
but because of that double commit, Kamek cannot move off so no opposite play there
for them. Now on the other side, man city with the shot day ship's got to clear it
he does well and Kamek will follow it up inside out here. And I'm not flaking what
I see out of here they're getting the ball and cleared out of their half very quick.
I feel a lot more confident in this width than in the previous two games.
Some of them, you know, helped out a lot of them, they have a lead.
But they are also just playing with a bit more cohesion, toxic.
Once they receive that ball, the spaceship gets reset,
compact the immediate jump.
Well, the HB2 this, as you can get at 50 straight to Seiko,
it's a lovely play from him.
Straight back to HB.
And that's that machine that is warring up Akro with one interception
Conception and another into the 50 into corner. They can't quite get that touch. They should touch it on every low boost
That's to find Seiko midfield again outcrop. It's gonna get the 50 along the cross in the midfield now
They should what can he do with a hundred seconds remaining?
If you'll jump as you're starting to go whips away the smallest one on the blue half or a majority of this game
And it just keeps on title on of that pressure wasting a lot of clock. I think with what's one more though
And they're going to need one more. I wouldn't feel confident.
Akro with the double tap central. HB dives in.
Look at that next touch. Akro whips it round one.
Pace is there. He backflips. It's a shame regardless.
Akro does get the save. Central towards Teiko.
Up high to himself. Great pass.
We'll get the reset. Underneath takes out again.
Akro's then diving in. I dived up from him
and it's a long pass from Topsy.
There's no point to double-pumic like in the air there, just go for the doubles on the goalie,
but it looks like it might work out safe though with the quick double tap, almost like that.
Corner edge me now with the pass to safe, but what the shot? No! He doesn't take the shot,
and a missed opportunity there by Nancy. I think he did take that shot, I just think it was rubbish.
He just can't get out much of what it was on there. He gets like a resum to the side wall,
but it doesn't mean anything. They'll be trying to go for that powerful top corner slot like
like he got in our highlight play during the free show.
Files 25, Akro into the corner.
And who's to him?
So he can't do much.
And this is now Whip getting this push on.
A lovely block, just for combat to go for a shot.
I don't hate him going to the corner there at all.
Second round, back central, and Edgar to find Seiko.
Final 10.
Take a talk to Ken Dew, trying to play with Park.
He gives the ball up, though.
Two HB demos coming up.
And Seiko takes it, the boy's in,
and gets the big time save.
with his on the board. I mean all I needed was one bump and then we were suddenly leveled in the game.
I thought I could have been it, but great defense from WIP.
Nation gets his second save at an incredibly foul moment. Oh, that was such a good play,
Jay, because he probably doesn't even know where the bump is coming from exactly. So he's just
got a go for the save immediately, but Seiko missed the bump. He also missed that shot.
He had like a wide open net, like on that infield pass and he just threw it off the back wall.
Very odd there, so...
Man City! Very likely should have tied that game at one of those two moments,
but instead, Wip will get the win, and they're right back in the...
Great play there from the base, you see him open it up completely.
The assist is perfection.
It's gonna mean as well, big shout.
a little bit of thinking to do also we've already taken their time out but no
needs called time out here if your man city no is already talking to his boys
yeah you and who they were shogun said it was gonna be a sweet he said nope no
pity it's gonna be a sweet well bet he feels silly I mean yeah like obviously
it's show them we're talking about so you know he's gonna be wrong most of
the time I'm still salty about the match me versus Johnny boy corp like how
I lose that so I'm just gonna be salty to everyone right now. So, you know, it is one of this really goes to it day for
Let's go. I want to see whip continue this pressure. Let's make it a 2-2 series
Yeah, that's kind of what we want to be seeing come through a thing
But there's a bit more ambition in their play. It's confidence as well
It's hard to be confident against a team that has been so good for this season
They are a near lock for LAN.
Obviously there's the chance that they don't make it,
but they are one of the teams that is in a very good contingent.
All-across!
Hey, Duncan!
Come on!
Next!
Oh, thank goodness me.
It's not only John B. does very well to save it.
Man, Acre hit that so incredibly hard,
Deixie now has a chance here.
It's so hard to bounce back up into the cross.
We're so unlucky there.
But Wip will absolutely take it.
They almost get the counterattack to all-asma.
Oh. Oh, yeah, HB by himself.
Just kicks it all the way through.
I think he goes for one touch here, takes it low.
It's a great idea.
They shift sorts of turns, but not really.
Tops it, leaves the play entirely.
That then leaves Compact to just try and do something.
HB parts it like the Red Sea, goal one, sitting.
Surprising turn by HB, and then it goes off.
The defense out, off the kickoff.
We'll see what Acro can do in the air.
So, we go for the little set.
We'll just go for the challenge game and said nothing being touched by either teams will get the big clear after
It's in a couple of times a man city on these attacks
They're being allowed to go low
You need to force them man high on pretty much every single play
But what hardest to score when the board is touching the ceiling that the floor force them high
That has not been the MO right now for which I don't know that can make it again
Call our couple of times the rest of the series if they don't adapt
We're going to make something happen.
Carbacca will follow it up with Gaysherplay.
Lunsaco with the flip we set around.
One location to pick.
High midfield, nobody there, no plan to continue.
It had to be Cameron Steep,
Toxin, he's got so much boost there as well.
You're like every player on this pitch right now
is being a little bit irresponsible
with him on boost for their use.
And everyone's been particularly punished.
And they won't be particularly funny.
Tatsumaki is your past 2k shift, and the goal is wide open.
The midfield was left open, and D-Shift will capitalize.
Great pass there by Tatsumaki.
That's fantastic.
HB is core, completely on an island,
and Tatsumaki just gives him an option.
He says Tatsumaki can either go solo or flick at central,
and that final man has either chosen to boost or going for you.
Either way, the goal is bigger with me here.
Lovely play between those two and they shift in both yet another flip
Another less fleet to keep it high enough of that phone defender
Take your tracks in front of his own never no one challenging him. He can opt to get some booties quite spawning time
We talk about both teams trying to use a little bit too much boost
That's gonna open up the perfect midfield game because you can't position correctly
So it's gonna allow for those in field passes to happen and right there
So, Espy, he got caught out at the third match, because he didn't have a lot of boost.
He felt like he had a challenge early, and that's a big tool by the open net.
Nearly the perfect pass there from Akro, straight into the opposition's box.
And again, he's off, but not going to have gone to the end. He's there now.
Somehow, a completely unchallenged and all floats devastatingly in front of Witt's net.
Edgeby, great touch, he recovers on the wall as well, jumps down and gets the shot.
But yes, the defence of Wick was kind of just sitting around waiting a little bit too long, and Edgeby found it open.
And that's, again, we've seen Wick go ahead, and then we've seen Man City come back.
That seems to be their MO for almost every single game that we've seen them out of this play-off weekend so far.
They shift from this, this is toxic, they can get a bomb,
and get back in time vital,
even if just the two won lost so far for Witt.
Good hustle there, but you can't be having those big misses,
but he shifts.
We'll get away from one of them with compact, great control,
but still, he's back to his half-tots of care,
to cover versus entry, now Jason, versus background.
Challenges plenty, here's the infield pass, there you go.
Not the greatest first touch,
Time so we can't get the shallot hurt
On a hundred a macro towards his left wall and instead to do so you can't do too much with it
Strombie anybody that comes his way does get a bump and a second bump in fact
The day shift now according to action the quick pop didn't work for the Sun in the final game for the previous game
Rather they can attempt to go central after respective macro once we've come back to dive on him
Actually slow to back down central but they should play but in fact he helps him out get towards the ball
2-1 with only a minute left, the chance here for Seiko to Akro. Akro actually turns away from it, but that's just a little bit too far, but he recovers off the wall with a shot, compact another bit that safe.
We're diving a little bit more here. Have that rushed? He had to get the first couple of goals.
He's seen in this series. Come back.
With HP, the Laos arms fall slowly in the centre. Toxic with a shot on target and Acro diving in the way again.
Only 40 seconds. What will Man City be able to do to push themselves a bit further ahead?
And how can Whip get them back? It's great bumps from day shift, but not quite enough.
Oh, so close. With Dayshift, that combat goal has been having some great place here in this final minute.
It feels like a whip has a really good chance here to score and see what the combat can do.
Fast down to Dayshift. Stay at Dayshift. We'll take it off him.
Oh, wow.
Touched in the right place, but he can't dribble it around. Turns into a best.
Dayshift also dies and it whips in all three, but they cannot secure the goal.
The counter-attack comes out. Vice, they go. Toxic! Huge save!
And there's one last chance here for Whip.
Opportunity, it's a bomb, it's gonna be a chance.
Oh, she goes down the main contact on the ball.
Now he wanted, that flick would have been,
they had a very good chance of finding his way in.
The bomb was coming through,
Bronn tops down the final defender,
and Man City get away with one.
That, though, plays for Whip right at the end,
including about 20 seconds left.
There was a 50 that went right in Bechir's path,
and he was so closely in contact,
but the ball was moved with such velocity,
it became near impossible for him to do.
I don't blame him for that at all,
but his positioning was great, the 50 was great,
the speed of it, if I'm not having a nitpick,
a slight bit too fast, everything else brilliant.
Just unfortunate, because I feel like Gwinn
is playing really well now.
The last two games, they have a chance
to win this one as well.
The problem was that they began the series so cold
that they went down two to zero,
so now they're down three, one.
with these last two minutes it felt like Wip was playing incredibly well and had plenty of opportunities to score.
It was just unfortunate that it did not happen for them. So yes, but they are down 3-1,
but I thought they were the better team for the last two minutes of that game.
So I think Wip still have a chance.
I mean when you look towards the amount of booster identified as being stolen,
when Man City, they were full on full boost for twice as long over twice as long as Wip were.
They were stealing boosts frequently.
The game was still close.
I didn't feel like that in the time.
I thought everybody was stealing every single boost.
But there was so much being used from Man City,
just to start with that little bit
that may well have been that silent difference maker
in a few of the plays.
Find ourselves on partner parry on the path to Paris.
It's a lovely start from a whip.
Day shift. Just rock a shot towards the net.
Yeah, whipped you in another fake kickoff.
It almost works out like a 10.
So, a man's city's got to watch out for those after a full.
Oh, Seiko though beats out everyone gets the free net,
and it's back to the Seiko show.
And it was from its own side as well in such low boost.
It's the immediate flicks, it's those small touches.
This game is very like tick-a-tacker.
Loads of tiny little touches, little passes,
little plays through.
We've seen they shift to it, two man city,
and that is Seiko returning the paper.
Now if they kick off the other way,
you would say, go, can do, you spent my toxic,
but then we will take control.
Day shift, I've got that early,
and then we get to 50-first hotback.
The hotback does well to keep it out.
Nice arresting of the men from their front day shift.
Use of this liquid, sir, just to stay in line,
if Seiko's clear.
We're just going to lurk again.
We're seeing a good few chances here,
where the ball could pop out wildly.
We've not seen either team necessarily respond to this 50 perfectly,
but whenever these are being 50 down, again, you need to force the ball high if you're with.
It's been going down low way too often.
N-City now has two people up with no boost, that's beef for the last man back.
Just throws it in deep so everyone can, but we collect some boost
and then City will keep up the pressure.
No, has an opportunity here, doesn't get the right touch and Toxic gets a big time.
Clear, but Akro, too safe on the pre-flip shot!
Decius, great save!
I love that pre-flip shot and then it became an immediate counter attack but if he's pushed
up one and a half way line, Compact can make you tax!
Nothing coming through from him, just wider than that, Toxic's low, he's gonna have
to flick this, he stays with it, he's into the corner, again these small little
touches. Taker's going to be following it. And that's a demo. It's open. Akaro though.
Lovely touch. Nice and high. Fantastic play and defense coming through from City. Yeah,
man City was being very patient and it seemed like he was working out until it wasn't and
then Akaro had to make that miracle touch there to keep it out. Taker now for his
backboard has to be toxic. He does. They should be able to dive in. Force low.
before the right-hand side, I was on my boost, so all he can do is just undefinedly
shot. It was quick, but it was covered by three players in the net. A reset from day shift,
only finds Seiko. We're about halfway through the game. One more win for City is we're sending
them through to the cities. Ex-Meet with a good challenge there. Pop-Backville will control it
on his back wall and try from here, but Seiko is right there, now toxic as an opportunity.
Fakes out one. Can they get this clear eventually? Good little pass and demo coming out of Dayshift.
We'll take control of that to two demos now by taxi.
Compact doesn't go for the shot. Leaves it for Dayshift and it just took a little bit too long.
And man, Sidney is on Zachary. We'll get him up here. Should escape a note.
The pressure is still on. Dayshift another pass off the back wall.
And he finally gets the quiz.
And the two minutes now and the pressure is starting to really build up in favor of Whip.
That plays from Deyshev, keeps the corrective being off, the comeback comes in, the pump
and the touch and this with a deep end for City, will be stretched.
See Whip going for a lot of pop plays now, they know they need a goal soon, but actually
had the chance to have a shot, now Akro going for a demo.
Snakeo taking it off his own wall versus two, going to go low, beats out one, but Deyshev
control of some devils coming up to help them out as well and he finally gets a
great challenge game by him.
80 seconds with Seiko going below the ground double, far as toxic after I can't get skin there.
The thought has to float to quite all clean his own half, it's a lovely
touching fact in the end. They should chase it down, force it Seiko to boom,
entry at one center instead of sending it back into his own half.
I don't think anybody really wanted that, nobody knew how to deal with it on either side.
They shift up, give a go for the shot,
forward, down and out!
So, we're gonna go for some Akro, gets the big time,
clear with the cameras at shot.
They shift, gets back in time, makes a big time save.
I cannot believe how close that was.
They shift pixels away.
The full core edgeable here,
four talks and a couple, four 2.0 core edgeable.
Four to take it, Akro, in the midfield, pops it.
Can't quite go around, compats the Kupak fight to two.
They shift to pick up.
Can he be the guy? It's a lovely area!
Of course he can!
The crossbar is not as heavy as this time around.
Dayshift puts it just underneath.
Come back. Try to disrupt as well as well enough.
And Dayshift makes up for his crossbar challenge earlier.
And we're all signed up.
Stunning play. Dayshift. I love seeing the level that he can run.
It's going to just be that bit more consistent.
Save the ground, they have a chance to cut in, Seiko now,
what's that, 50 down, so he decides it's not worth his time.
Down central, 4-42 to go, Seiko versus Compact,
he takes his time, that allows Wich comes straight back in,
and what a free jump from Compact.
And with this other challenge, so last scoring up,
Juni's gonna go to Wip here,
they should move it backwards though,
gonna try to kill this ball down,
just load by it, smart play by him,
and we got over the top.
I don't know, it's like he was walking the ball, just stayed with it.
The perfect momentum.
Taksik up early, gets beat up by Seiko's got an opportunity,
Jason's kind of there, Agro takes it away from HB.
And Taksik is gonna find the counter and we're going to Neo Tokyo.
Why?
Why did Agro do that?
The need to stay under this rubble to try and pass it,
I need to know that comes there, HB from my perspective.
He had it, yeah, he had it.
That was just his goal to shoot.
I don't know why Akro did that.
Well, I'll have an extra minute to figure it out
because Man City calls their time out here
while leaving in the match.
I hope production, we all get to see that.
Like that final moment,
because there's no reason for Akro to touch you
apart from let's just keep the ball away
from a big cliff and win.
But HV's already died, that's not HV's fault.
No, no, no, absolutely not, but I think it just comes down to Akro probably thought Edgy was a little further back
So he's trying to pass it, but that's where Cobb's coming right? Like if Edgy's like I got it
I got it. I'm shooting the back row needs to leave that ball. So maybe just a cop break down here
It's not even like
Akro could have
He was un-falling on it. He uses flick to touch the ball. Yeah, just flicked away from the ball
He was absolutely passing that back, but he just thought that he was way further back.
I'm not sure what happened there.
But they shifted after a crossbar challenge, very hard to do, to hit the crossbar about to hit him again.
But we'll see if we can look at this play and this pass back that did not look too pretty.
Because that was definitely Manson's fault.
Yeah, and we see the gold ends up coming from it. It's just a nice quick speedy counter-attack, and it was real quality, I think, shown from day shift throughout that game in particular.
There was, I think, the on-board play from day shift is really turning up, and I think it's got some compact, physical, fantastic off-ball play.
They've got all the parts of a team that I want to really see succeed, and if Man City, if they're going to take a gun and aim at their own foot, so be it.
They've had issues like this before. I said in the pre-show, you know what? They're over it.
I'm hoping for their mental that they are, but I'd be annoyed if I was Edgeby.
Here's the play again. We're gonna get one final look.
So Akro is there. He should be able to see where Edgeby is. There's no excuse for that.
Because Akro has ballcam on. He knows where Edgeby is.
That's just a mystery. I'm not sure why he tried for that, but it's a mistake.
And that's okay because they are up 3-2 and they can still close out the series.
That's what you call a timeout now like hey guys if things happen we got to figure it out and let's finish it here
All right, well now crow can you say? Oh, sorry, mate quick enough to then get all the boys back on the right mental
He has been one of the carries in this series. He has been remarkable so far
But man, it's a bit of a stain on that lovely baby blue that they are wearing
Neotokyo, 3-2 to Man City, one more for the semi-finals or one more for a game 7.
Here's Deishak again in the air, he's been so deadly when he goes up this time, right early.
Come back I think he's doing a much better job of making this match.
Here's a flip reset opportunity for him.
Akro turns it away.
If I'm Akro now by the way, I am playing out of my blowing skin.
I need to say you know what fellas, let's go, let's go.
It's a lovely play nearly on the fun on day shift from our crew. It's really a bit of space and time still that big story from day shift
It's very well played a nice big beat. It's like a nowhere lovely catch from talk safe at Seiko. He could be the next one
We'll take it in this corner some demos coming out this field pass to no one though
So Tatsu will get the clear out and that's the problem when you go for those demos that third man can mount move up and be
I mean feel so get a little bit of a conversation there
but Seiko's got an opportunity here just too too much with the D-Shift heavy touch but follows it up Akro
Will get it to edge me at the very least Akro has another opportunity throws around target turned away by D-Shift
But man city's on the offensive prowl
First minute though have been a lot of city pressure no reset game
Thank you indicator epic under four games of whatever the handle is
Up high and in the center Akro by Seiko
Seiko, the crossbar down!
The duo is dominant.
The sick field pass, the speed on this pass
was actually pretty solid.
Seiko gets up early.
Three defenders, it does not matter.
Seiko is faster, gets the first goal.
Man City, back on top.
It's delightful, we saw that all over yesterday
between that duo in particular,
between now, Cromas Seiko.
They dismantled really goose quite frankly,
90 seconds in, great start, toxic three-minute,
fun call to the bathroom.
Manny's gonna be taking this sensible approach
and ends up with the ball back,
set to rush and finds,
compact, you end up hunting that one point.
And it's a great play though,
by tossing away some time,
and allows two minutes to get back,
and we got a little dribble coming out by after.
It's just not a ton of loose though,
so not too present here.
As that should be, try to throw it back mid,
but Wiff will get this clear,
and everyone's gonna go collect some loose.
These two minutes in that city pressure
at the four-core carry, and we're seeing that kind of respect
come back out for Wip, which I sort of like,
and they're saying, all right, what can you do in the air,
City, but they can do a lot in the air.
That's kind of the problem.
They've dominated the sky so far in a lot of ways,
so I don't love that they're giving them a lot of space
and look all three of them just waiting back.
Nice and read. They have no boost.
But with no boost, what can you do?
And they went that no-boost for a long time there,
but they do get it out to them.
We'll collect some of them now.
The triple play though, Acro to Seiko,
and they've been so patient.
Finally, Acro's like, I'm not going north or south.
I'm going to go to the east and west of the very last moment.
Not even, really.
He just flanks out that ball and comes in finishing off.
And that's all because Wip just had no-boost.
They had to play so far back.
They allowed just a little bit of space.
And who was it there again?
the fastest man on the planet, Seiko, puts it in a hole.
And you know what?
I've seen it in China as well.
I missed it personally.
Apparently, a rule will not be broken.
I did see that.
It was edge being compact, I believe.
And I think burning compact bounce out of it,
which makes sense.
They lost the 2v2 earlier.
I wasn't going to mention it because I wasn't sure
if they were still, like, moving around a little bit.
But I did see it out of corner of my eye there.
I saw everybody there as soon as Man City got a goal,
but everyone just said, comma.
That's what you get for breaking the wall.
You guys are job brutal, by the way.
Very high.
That's being another shot, and the corner
of it continues by the blood corner.
An acro, making a pass, making up for last game,
getting two assists now with the bump play as well.
Toxic is also on that wall.
Cannot make the save, so great job of teaching there.
By edge.
Lovely slot as well.
Bump corner found.
Three now, and that goes to the rule one.
coming back to buy them.
It's a nice bump on Akra.
The Toxic and Gold for one Akra.
Then their immediate contact is very fast.
Seiko, why do we cheeky there?
Get the touch and then take in the off.
The day shift was not fine while he was selling.
And I do apologize.
Akra actually has three assists.
He gets a Playmaker Award.
So he made up for that pass in overtime last time
with three months that actually worked incredibly well here.
Here's another pass.
Seiko cannot reach it in time.
Instead of just a shot on target and Toxic,
we'll get the player from whip is down
to 80 on the clock and they need some to fast and that might be one back with me
telling me back again top point scorer so far the city sins at home for tick
thank you second station up the double compass go for the bomb and say
come avoid the bumps masterfully the squishy save as well well done to him
and that like it's gonna secure there's one minute left with desperately
He needs to send all three. Here's Toxic going up.
I bet all three dive in for a midfield pass.
Station is there.
He doesn't get to touch.
Come back with a shot.
But Jess White gets one more opportunity here this time.
Secures the goal and Wip still alive.
He's missing.
Every now and then double commit twice.
Wip to manage to get a goal, but they all
account for one, no matter how you score it.
So four post seconds.
Wip, what have you got?
Let's see the kickoff.
I assume it's going to be a fake kickoff.
Maybe double-faking off is what I'm guessing out it doesn't happen. It's not just fake for the whip side, but it doesn't work out for them
Totsico that's a chance as John compact as well acro big clear 30 on the clock to goes down with
He can get this ball out of their half and they do so Totsico has no loose has to go collect wait for edge
Please touch here
compact rose it on deep
In a goal before a zero here from Lyft, can they get something going, toxic, top-end dentition, all are filled with limited boosts?
They know they need it.
The lovely turn they've been on, the backboard is going to be able to get in.
Just a little bit further, not quite past top-tips, but again, central, caught by his opportunity.
Miseko with boosts, Tyran's face, how much can he waste?
Down into the centre, Akaro keeps it high.
Man City secure themselves another top four Europe. Well done to Man City. Welcome to Acre as well. Yes,
it's a big time to stay. Give that overtime. That bounces right back the MPP of this final game.
The three of us in the end as well. Yeah, so he made it up for it and that is what you hope,
but you call your time out even though you are up in the series to recollect your thoughts
and figure it out in Man City. Another two points to their name and a top four at air
minimum there must be great. This is the first time so that man city working their way through into the semi finals
they'll be playing against the current champions of the world essentially you know major wise and now people are doing that well in opening
the weekend of open yeah open court we have a weekend of that. The gentlemen are going to be awaiting them in those semi finals and with
Esports then going out here, it gives, is going to pretty much say Sionara to their land chances.
And Han City, they need to win the regional. They've got a lot more work ahead of them.
But next up is the one we're all waiting for,
Karmin Korf. Take on K-Duff Korf in the battle.
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 line.
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 had the red convertible.
I
I feel like a future's just begun And all I know is that we lost time
For staying right here, we can free ourselves and stay
We'll stay awake forever
We'll hide away when no one knows
Let's run away together
To see me and to go with
We'll stay awake forever
We're headed straight up for the sun
Don't know the motives
We'll take these slidys on out
And all I know is that we lost time
If we stayed right here we could free ourselves inside
We'll stay away forever
We're hide away when no one knows Let's run away together
Just lead me into your room We'll stay away forever
We're hide away when no one knows Let's run away together
on top of the top four.
The championship Sunday looked like it was going to be hopeful there for whippy sports
for a moment, especially with that overtime win in game number five.
Neo Tokyo goes the other way though, Man City get the job done and they are three
to the top four.
They have a date with the gentlemates a little bit later on.
going to be an exciting one once we get there.
But I mean, it feels like we learned about whippy sports
over the course of this event.
They're really good at Swiss.
That's what I kind of like.
I think they're on the verge, right?
They're going to get more experience
as they go through these moments.
But right now, they're just not there yet
to battle these top teams in Europe.
And that is OK.
And to be fair, they did take down ninjas in Swiss,
but they still need a couple more of these Ls
before they really figure it out.
I think, like, for the LCQ, I think they could be one of those underdog teams that could, like, cause, like, an upset or two, but at the end of the day, they're just not there just yet.
I mean, it's a bit of a baptism by fire as well, because in the Swiss, you're up against teams that then might also then be going out around the same point you are, you know, teams that are of essentially equal ability, right?
when you then do get to top six, which is a brilliant result for them.
That is phenomenal for this team.
Like, you do then have to go up against interesting pyjamas.
You need to go up against Man City.
If you win that, you need to beat gentlebates.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, it is such a hard position to find yourselves in.
I think they did very well in individual moments,
and then every now and then they just let themselves down,
especially in those early games,
it did just as little cohesion.
Goals like that, I love seeing that.
it's such good cerebral play as they show that it just becomes a lot harder to actually get that consistently and
resource and very non cerebral play from man City as well Gibbs where they have a few issues
And they said managed to get away with it and they're in a great position now for the major
Yeah, credit to acro big mistake in game five overtime
You think that might cost them no instead he makes three assists here in that final game to get them the win
and on you took you so it
champions field and man city
top four here they get two m
great for Paris but they w
next and that is a four po
that is absolutely huge. I'll
we'll see I do think this is
a big good performance for
see them get this far having
them go to game six in the
more experience they get in
these late game scenarios the
better chance they'll have a
handling that pressure once
that pressure once they get there because looking back through the history of the last few tournaments
they've played, they're either going like 3-0 through Swiss or they're going out in round five.
They're going 2-0 in the groups or they're going out in game five in the lower bracket or something
like that. Like once the pressure is on for WIP, they're struggling to figure it out. So that's
the experience thing. They'll get there and they'll have another chance in open number six.
Manchester City has a dance with Gentlemates a little bit later on. Before we get there,
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for I think the match for maybe more center than the grand finals about KDOP Corp taken on the carmen Corp here Stumpy. This is the big one. It's finally happening. The battle of the names Redo since journey through teams that he is either ripped off or played for previously.
He's already taken down vitality while sitting in their chair.
And this is a weaker calming call.
Like, this is not the calming call
that we saw from that first qualifying matches to go to Boston.
This is a calming call that currently sits in third by a margin.
Like, I am not confident that this is the devastating team
that we would normally see from KC.
And the other KC, K.Corp, they are on such an upswing.
the last time we saw K Corp play at home. I feel like they're always good for every one of these
events at this time. They're not maybe that is a difference maker. But on the other side,
you have K dog for you have alpha who hasn't played in a very long time in the RLCS makes
it back and is performing well. Then we have mixer showing up and my favorite player in all
of Europe. We got rid of sin like this guy is so talented. He joins teams for LCQs,
makes them great that he's like, I'm out. I'm going to take Bobby and Bobby Jr. with me,
and he just forms another team and he's right back here. This is two top eights in a row. This time
at top six, Rado is ready. And you know what, as well, I was looking just now at Alpha's last
time that he played. It goes RLCS, 20-26, Paris Major, EU Open 4. So, you know, that was last
time, 7-2-8. Great job. Before that, it was the world championship in 2024.
he's going to be a great player.
It was two years between him
playing when he was then removed
from the vitality side. Alpha
has done quite a turn around. So
I'm excited to see what exactly
is going to be happening for
him and for this team because
mitzer is an extremely exciting
player. The fact that he is
now with alpha and reducing
great leadership. I'm excited
I'd love to see except
Okay, well
gentlemen
We're gonna get the chats pole where to get the chats opinion on who they think is gonna win hashtag KDC
Hashtag KC there. I want to hear your thoughts because I actually have no idea how this is gonna go kids
So you got I think first off I think I can't tell if I've won or lost by not casting this match
Because it's gonna be a very confused one for the casters, but same time. It's the match of the day
I'm going to go in my heart.
I'm going to go with rato. He's
my favorite player. I'm going to
go with KDOP Corp. I bet the fan
vote is also going to go
overwhelmingly favorite to KDOP
Corp. Let's see the Cinderella
run. Let's see it. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Stomping. Oh, yes. Come
on. Stop me. Come on. I went
for KDOP Corp over my telly.
I had a feeling.
I don't, I need to trust that fiend.
You abandoning them?
The fizz behind my eyes is no longer fizzing.
But I'm gonna go with them anyway.
Maybe I can just be wrong.
I don't know, K-Dob Corp.
Bring it through.
Come on, give me the double.
Make me insufferable, please.
That was a curse if I've ever heard one.
That one, you were like, I don't believe.
I don't believe, but I'm gonna pick them anyways.
So just because of that bad voodoo energy we just got here,
I'm picking Karmin Corp on this one.
Maybe the blue wall.
They're going to crush all of our hearts.
And it's Stumpy's fault.
It's Stumpy's fault, Gibson.
I was hoping that you're like, well, that was a curse.
I'm going to double curse it and sweep the desk.
I don't got it anyway.
Well, no, that would be bad, because I
don't want to curse them.
I don't want to.
That's works for them, right?
If we curse them.
I'd like to see the story happen.
And also, I want to see the blue wall be strong.
Yeah.
So here's the thing.
The Karmin Corp isn't looking at their best,
but also KDOTCorp is a very talented team.
I know they're like a mean team almost,
but these guys are talented individuals.
They can absolutely win this match.
Now I think they just took down Vitality in seven here,
so I think KDOTCorp absolutely have a chance here.
We can keep talking about this for hours for ages,
but the players are ready to go.
Let's get into the game, folks.
The moment you've all been waiting for,
you've prepared your snacks,
and you've sat in your seat to be entertained
with this competition, folks.
Which is the better KC?
Karmicorps versus Kedavcorp for a spot in the finals.
So here we go.
How many times will we get the names wrong?
How many times do you all count it?
And how many times can Kedavcorp continue to play this way, CJ,
and not be eliminated?
Which ones are talking about?
Well, I mean, this isn't just a match.
This is a corporate war.
The reason Kedavcorp was formed
It was for this matchup to play the original call,
the calming variety, and my goodness,
are they looking good out there?
They've been before back in business.
Strap yourselves in.
It's gonna be a fantastic versus seven.
It's Cameto versus K-Dob, the battle of the CEOs
in one point to you by Regressive,
as we do ourselves into game number one.
Now here's the one big thing
that may be coming, coming, coming,
going for them as we're doing some great save.
Juicy looking for a second one.
Vincere, backboard.
Can't do anything else with it.
Redocien plays at his best against teams
that have maybe got rid of him before.
Guess what?
KCR, one of those teams.
KC strikes first over KDC.
It only took 38 seconds at it,
just with a beautiful fake front post.
And the little pre-fifth flip ball up
off the near post as well.
Beautiful play.
And a great start for the original call
for the blue-golder.
Uh, yeah, for sure. I mean, that, but do we even go with that?
Because Kailop was before that.
Kailop is the original, actually, yeah.
Yeah, he's a good player.
Ha ha ha ha!
But they're a reset.
Looking to try and get a block shot there, so it's well stopped,
but they're not gonna get to the second one.
Atso's got two, he's always got as many goals.
How's Juicy's got points?
Well, this matchup did feel a little personal,
and I think Kailop got for the start of this game,
they're taking it, certainly.
Either the personal variety, that's a hot start,
that's how he finds his second goal.
Juicy has four points, which I think is something to note.
He's hit the ball just a couple of times.
He's hit the ball twice as, well, maybe after,
but he's made them count so far as in Juicy.
While he's not adding too many more of that shot, just off targets.
A fantastic start.
Now, would you have to remember, though,
and this is the big, classic little group, the K-L-Corp.
They were pretty terrible to start, obviously, against Vitality.
They got annihilated five goals to nothing in game number one.
If this match stuck the way it could, they'd say, well, we actually improved.
Yeah, you shared perfectly.
The start of the other match is here for K.D.L. Corp.
It's not K.D.L. Corp, it's more like K.D.L. Corp's for the first couple of games.
But then they start to get moving, they start to get mobile,
and we do see them turn it around.
I mean, it could have been a perfect sweep against them against Vitality,
but they've got the job done.
They clutched up in seven, redotions up and about.
So, it's okay that maybe they don't find enough teams to have a warm-up scrim.
If we're gonna go that way.
Oh, backboard in goes Rado! What a stop there from Juicy!
Maybe himself as big as possible in front of the shot.
Stays a two-goal deficit. Alpha is off.
They're trying to take the block, didn't feel too comfortable in his original launch.
And, Fredocin doesn't take that first time.
He's trying to swoop his way back down.
He's going to see Redosin, especially after he's played the ball.
Just go looking for the third man on team, just trying to get those demos.
And here goes Alphavitz.
Here he's pretty much pre-jumped him.
He's done so well.
Yeah, nice play there.
K.D.Corp, they have a little bit more of the attack since that explosive start.
50 seconds, two goals for K.C.
Haven't quite seen the defense from K.D.Corp.
That's where I thought the D came from in K.D.C.
But maybe it's just the doc.
Two 20 left.
Let's see if they can find their first goal here, Mitzvah.
He throws it up top, just has that tone a bit.
If he goes quickly, Juicy's going to have to help out.
He has to pre-flip. Has it even been there?
But he's not quick enough. The open net for Alfa 54.
K-Dog called for their first goal on carbon equal.
Yeah, Juicy, there's absolutely no good options available for him.
Alfa does so well. Spots the only possible outlet.
Make sure he's got it covered.
And, uh, can I look up of scores?
Well, nine minutes earlier than he did last time.
So, here comes Midsur.
We're gonna try and add another one to it as immediately as they go looking for the player, Vaterra, on the turn.
It was maybe the lone standout from KC's result yesterday.
The rest of the team really struggling to find that boot, didn't you see, takes the first time hit.
Up a slow play yet again. Hasn't found any results for this. Back corner barry. Yeah, there we go.
we go. I still love seeing the KDL cook going for the Pogos earlier, certainly something I never saw
their CEO do. No, he is one of the goats of Rocket League, but just shows how far the mechanics
have come in 2026. It's been tested just back off. Goes for the Popper, dosing on the side ball.
Here's the play out, 50 balls downfield as well. He's looking for thumbs up the side ball. The
pitch comes out, it's tested back off. They're still pushing in, really, KC,
since those two gold shogun, they've been happy to sit in defense. I think they want one
more for a bit of breathy room will it come to the likes of it's here or no? They're looking
it back off and just be happy with this one goal lead. Yeah, cannot call for neverhand. They
want heavy metal rocket league. They need this game to be at a decent pace. It's where they've
looked the most comfortable. Luckily coming off of the least comfortable was a very
beat by numbers series yesterday when it came to them and generally it's very,
you know, coach would be very happy with the rotation. But for getting goals,
You have to sort of break the rules on occasion.
Radosan's immediately gone looking for Rato,
who spots it early enough back.
Well done!
Very well swiped away from Juicy.
But here a zero boost, I'd say.
OK, now Colt's having a look more comfortable, though.
So it just shows that first 50 seconds.
Conor just had to catch their breath a little bit.
Warm up into this match against their new opponents,
against their arch rivals.
You might say, how's that shot off the post?
It comes out for Radosan.
Rato looks to keep them all nice.
comes through Alpha right there as well. This is where KDC need to get moving. They're finding the
demos on KC. It's Redozen. Tries to control. This one for the one last chance. Out in attack. 15
seconds with Tira pushing forward. One more gulf of breathing room. Can Mitza get to work? He's
actually over the top of one. Look for the redirects. Redozen downfield as well. Alpha 54
to the Redozen. Pre-jump. Juicy makes the save. That might be the last crack. Unless this
He's shocked in front of the back of the net.
Redocian, back post, Midsar, Alpha 54, they're all low boost.
They're all panicking.
Redocian can't keep it up.
And it is the blue wall.
They get the job done.
They get the chocolates.
They're the first win in the court battle.
Yeah, absolutely no worries whatsoever.
That last redirect, by the way, that was on.
That was such a good stop to make sure it didn't go in.
But eight save for Clive from coming up
to ensure that they grab the win in this game.
And the KDL Corp, they can just say,
well, we had a battle in 50 seconds,
but the other four minutes and 10,
those look pretty good for us.
Let's just repeat that over and over again.
And they outshot them in the end.
That was nine shots to KDL Corp,
eight shots to Carmen Corp,
and I think they were the better team
outside of the first minute
when they got completely rolled
for the majority of that game.
They had a ring control,
it was tiny blue half.
They look for more aggressive team, no creating shots,
granting opportunities.
Just couldn't quite find a back of the net
on one more occasion to tie it up, then.
They're in this.
They are in this for sure.
I can't look at Vatira against Alpha 54
and Red Dozen without thinking of that Düsseldorf semi-final.
That's all I'm thinking this entire time right now,
and you already know Vatira.
Vatira needs no good excuse to try and go,
man, this match is personal for me.
He's looking at going,
just remind you guys that I've stuck around and maybe you guys know just just give me my opportunity on this one
That was very interesting is also after me top four in that event
I was with a weird team liquid
Ourselves into game number two
Of course, can they maintain what they found in the second of the game?
That's here. Oh, that was so close. It's actually aggressive first man this event. It didn't quite work out
against the general mates, but certainly trying to just cut the angles and play such a high offense.
And aggression, see the pace dividends here, that's a nice 50 from Juicy.
He's off to the races, does he have an open net?
You betcha, Ratosun! He's not back in time,
and well, Leicester is repeating itself in game two, they've scored early.
That's a really poor challenge, Malfur.
That's just not going to do anything for his team.
team. That's juicy. Swipe it
off them. And yes, you can say
the team's too far forward, but
the team is always going to be
too far forward because they're
expecting at least something
from their teammates. Coming
club starting off for the
better here. You have been
correct, but Tira has been
very aggressively first man.
It's like he's sort of annoyed
at the pace that his team has
been playing. Also trying to
force it a little bit.
is challenging him as they allow the follow-up.
Blame, Mitzas, missed it.
So Azo's on the follow-up straight down the middle.
It would have been great if it was bowling,
not so much to score a rock at the goal.
That's a little fake there coming through,
but it's just a bit slow, juicy shot.
Left a lot to be desired as well.
Here is Mitzas, as if it's here
in a challenge with low boost out.
But just caught a little awkward front post.
And he's got a lot of teams out when they all
get kind of cramped up in that defensive corner.
And for once to leave it for Adocen,
I think he's said someone please take it I've got zero boosts good to say okay
I'll oblige as he does get one more nearly gets the dump and that's over can see coming off just
Completely set up with boost in the tank as well out so first up top upstairs if you get the reset reducing
So you get a crack at the last man on that juicy looks to cover
See how for now trying to control the ball this if I feel like it
And he just takes a minute of every change the car K. Don't call should I say for KTC the lock back in
I mean, if you quite know if you want to solo play that or try to get over to Radosin.
If you happen right, then just sort of make the mistake early and then prefer to play from the happy cap.
Sierra, all awkward. You've seen these to come and help them.
Just pop into the midfield. Atto.
Straight back out. Radosin cuts back inwards. Takes material challenge.
I'm just gonna get the scab, no tries to leave a Henshime.
That's boomed it, Ato's all by himself.
Can they create something on this?
Drop down pass to Redosin, low 50.
And Ato strut enough to just try and keep it away.
And like the old school play for Redosin put it again into work,
Mimic is looking to attack, reset, no, but Ato is just the confidence
to make that with zero boost with a shot coming in.
It certainly worked that time.
There's maybe another chance for attack for Redosin.
Does he find space? It's intercepted.
Vittira off the side while Atto there, Mitzra as well.
Dosen now loses the challenge.
Jusey doesn't have the boost.
He's looking for the faith.
Vittira's going to wait on the second touch.
It's a challenge in the corner.
Catacorps certainly have settled back into this,
but once again, they had that one goal deficit.
What we saw yesterday, they are pretty good at playing
at a handicap, two and he'll down,
but I guess some might call them the masters of it.
Winning in game seven afterwards, but so far,
this is very similar to Vitality.
They're all over the KC.
To Redotion, can he find the 50?
Juicy to the side.
You can see everyone.
Low Booth here, apart from this man on the ball.
Now, the 54.
That is full!
He's done well enough.
To Redotion, he's gonna just try and take back over.
Atso, powers it.
I look for a mistake.
Now, there's been a couple of mistakes
from these positions from K.Corp.
Purple left.
So, Redotion's gonna get there in time, and he won't.
Atso makes it two.
makes it to and I have no idea what I'm looking at right now shogun you take the
wheel I'm looking at spinning cars go for it
looks like I'm sort of over for just the timing as CJ has been ejected from the
ground from the lobby he has been banished we'll see about lifting that
as soon as we possibly can you can get the solo shogun mode at least for the
time being I'll come back well he's back here already I'm backing these
It doesn't you can't keep a good man down for too long and it's in on the club. Hey, see this one
No, get me back involved. That's what I want to be is KC. I mean, it's just a rinse repeat from game one. Isn't it?
Goodness me. I'm quite
Get get rolling early enough in the game
I feel like if they can just get a leak a dog call perhaps it's a different outlawed honor
But they're currently playing from behind and when that Tony is cooking like there's three nil. They're absolutely cookin
This man is responding to the allegations right now.
There's been a lot of people questioning,
is this the same Ato that started the season?
Well, in this series at the very least,
he's looking like the Ato that we know and love.
And of course, it's still not nearly as bad as it was yesterday.
Yes, it really was that bad for those of you that did visit.
Oh, we can look at this and just go,
ah, they're improving actually.
A couple more demos.
That's just a wasting time waiting for Juicy to come and take over, but this game is looking as good as done.
Unless they can create something from this good block from a dosing, get it backed up, there's no way around taking shots.
I mean it makes sense, it works against Vitality, you just drop the first two, go to sleep for the first two and then maybe catch them out.
Down the other end as Ato throws this one off the backboard, but Kato caught still.
Yet, to really trouble this blue wall, the court battle is not living up to the hype so far, but...
Maybe one last chance, you don't know Lake Gold could swing the momentum going into game three, but yeah, this is a clinic.
Look at the pre-job from Vittiera as well off the side, I thought he was supposed to get this ball to the ground out for once one more.
Just for old time's sake, on Vittiera with the dunk, but he won't find it and KC.
A rolling KDC at the moment.
Yeah, if I don't get up caught immediately, am I going to let the coach talk or are they going to get on the phone and get to the CEO?
Let K-Dop himself speak to his investment in this squad.
Right now, they are not finding anything against the blue wall.
What color would K-Dop call me?
Coming up is the blue wall.
What is K-Dop called?
Well, they have to be red, don't they?
This is, I mean, it just feels like an archer rivalry, red versus blue.
But, you know, you think of K-Dop, you think of yellow, you think of vitality,
you think of Dignitas, maybe it may be a teal aquacolor gale force as well. You could go.
Also, is it really a chaotic? This team hasn't been psyched on once, so.
Let him have quite got there yet. Not living up to it. 90 seconds of this time out remaining.
But I don't know, this is a much improved performance from him. He's been silent for
nothing just yesterday, but I feel since Boston started, but he's been the main man in this
series. I just also want to
know the law about the law
behind this this team. It is
K-dop at funding this team.
Is it you know, is it is either
is he coaching this team? I
don't believe he is. I don't
think he's got any like memes
aside. He's just a coach.
So he has no involvement
apart from well, Redosa
mentioned in the interview
yesterday, they do need to
talk to the CEO K-dop in
regards to who they'd like
to play the run, the
bracket so they are in touch with him I think he does have something that's not something
I'm gonna let happen yeah I do believe that there is absolutely zero reference at all to
KDOP corp or to KDOP that's um unlike the Randy Gibbons River rats who were fully endorsed
by Mr Randy Gibbons himself well I mean let's just run the numbers on how the
This is looking compared to yesterday.
Yesterday they go 2-0 down.
They scored one goal in the two games.
They call the timeout.
They win three straight,
then drop game six, win game seven.
Today, they've scored one goal in two games.
They've called a timeout.
Prepare for three games in a row.
The KDC coming up of this timeout right here, ladies and gents.
It is as good as guaranteed.
They've spoke to the CEO.
And it's time to get ourselves into game number three.
Kami Kopp looking to just continue as normal.
Get that first goal.
Can you see though, every match that they won yesterday
was won by a single goal.
They did not look completely comfortable at any moment.
They just now get the job done.
Riddosin cuts in, looks to try and fake the first play.
Nice back pass, but she's still going too far.
Alba was the challenge, and Vaterra happy to alive.
You can see inside, you might try to go near post front left.
Couldn't quite get the job done,
It's here a huge on that occasion. We'll see if that timeout that we're gonna reduce yesterday in the timeout 2-0 down
Just hold out for to get some more Zen touches who cares who you're playing go for it
It's as simple as that from a motivator's team. We'll see about what can bring them back in game three
Those in past the first player of the series got two to play against juices on the way to finish the play
And he's done exactly that timeout has not resulted anything so far
I don't think this is exactly going to according to yesterday's script that we had in the modality matchup, but for the third game in a row, KC score inside the first minute.
I could remind you as well as to what this means for the qualifications for Paris.
You imagine you've KDC made it to Paris.
But they are right now tied with points with the gentlemates.
They were stayed as a place today.
Both occupied that fifth spot. They're tied for it right now.
You're not only dropping points here, you've got one gentleman.
The proper air after what was a very poor opening event for themselves.
Katera looking low challenge, fought with 4 PTC.
It's a big call for Gullflat and when he dead, Redosin, he's got time, he's got the ball, but he's also got to deal with Vati, and it's not enough.
It's ridiculous respect for Retira. He said I think Rato's in this top right corner and indeed he was. It was a fantastic shot.
Just the save was even better.
Three minutes to go here as he has to just find himself low boost.
Casey still walking so comfortable and it's like they really bounce back off that loss against Genomex.
Yesterday is out for now.
Takes it off there. Can he get the drop down pass? It's going to be right there. She just can't find anything remotely near the net.
That could have been the tie up goal.
Yo, I think that just entered somebody's house with how far off-target that was.
If somebody could throw that wall back to us, we would appreciate it.
Oh, you've got to make those count.
Unfortunately, half the game gone.
They do not have the goal that they feel like they should.
Back down, pass to Alpha. Doesn't quite make it to him.
Producing. Damn, my first troubles.
You see, is he going to try and find the passing up? Shoot.
Well, nobody is passing into that one, then.
They've definitely got a little bit more game awareness than anyone else does.
We'll take over. Time running out again for KDC.
That's a question of how much magic this team has left after beating Zen.
They're a well-champed teammate.
They're out for a redoucin'. Can they perform again here?
We'll have to find out as we can see.
Look at the side again.
Now 54 with the 50.
That's how he throws it off.
We've been saved on the backboard catch as well.
catch as well. I mean KDC just not really able to keep much pressure on at all.
Off the backboard and I saved this time KDC, but once again it's getting
testy for a limitized running out. Just under two minutes, Redosin,
going into the path of Juicy. CJC has been kicked out yet again, so we're back to start.
I'm just going to watch off the feed. I'm just going to feed it. Forget about the game.
I'm all good joking. Awesome, fantastic.
But hopefully we'll be able to show the KDC goal-sign and get a series out of this because at the moment it's far too far, it's far too normal, it's far too calming caught.
Redo-sign to Mitza, they go to the ceiling, no ability to follow that one up.
That boost tool is just not looking very good for them.
Minute 20 down to Ato, almost knows to get a block after the fact.
still time growing out here minute 10 and the time out pop it's not looking like
it's as magical as it was against the Hornets against the bees yesterday
minute left KDC it's gonna be a battle for them from here Vittira's gonna take
it all the way back they just rocked me shit at the moment show again they look
composed and it's gonna be tough to really rock this this KC team it's
going to take something special.
Oh, booming clear.
Vatira is waiting for it.
Just pops the ball on.
Yeah, this is the most calming
caught we have seen them in quite some time.
And despite the, I guess the character
forces we've seen for them recently.
Calming caught for a Sunday.
It's still a thing.
It's still dangerous.
Vatira couldn't turn that in.
Next shot from Juicy.
He's on low boost.
He's here.
A lot of time to recover.
Great challenge.
Ratterhood doesn't have to
boost the land on it as much
he wanted to.
20 seconds now, Alfa, minute time.
He's got the ball, he's passed one,
Juice is the next one, just took his time and gets rid of it.
15 seconds, 50 comes through, Juice, he wants to keep this ball.
In KDC's defensive half, hit the 3-0 lead
and force a potential reverse sweep.
The only possible outcome, 4K.com.
Clear comes through with Sierra, huge segment up off the side,
rips it off the backboard, Juice,
he doesn't get the touch, but Atto's right there
and it's gonna be very tough for him here.
and off the backboard, Rich sits down, doesn't get the goal, but the cue is down through it.
Coming up, the fun police have arrived, and they're not having any more of this.
You parroted our name, but you think we were a joke?
Not anymore. Only one goal conceded across this series so far.
Coming up, looking like a threat, not just for this series, but for the tournament as a whole.
And it's good at the moment because everyone's getting their time to shine at the moment, CJ.
We still get a new player to look at and just go, okay, they're playing good.
And perhaps, yes, they were like, okay, but they're playing good.
Anybody else fancy joining him?
It's an impressive bounce back as well, because they looked quite tilted from that off-the-racket match yesterday
against Jono Mance going down game six.
But I like the way that bounce back, even though they're not at headquarters.
They didn't have all the resources usually available for them, just playing from home.
home. Interesting. Still to see
it looks unusual on the play
against the likes of the zero
not in his full kit sitting in
the KC facility facility, but
it's going to be tough for KDC
mentioned before that the first
couple of games yesterday looked
like KDOPS Corpse right now.
They are putting them halfway
into the grave here is KC.
No, Rado's got a lot to say.
So he's just listing mechanics
at the moment that he wants
to see.
He's sitting in their cell
and out of it.
Brazy Flick, Mastery Flick, Coach Benz, he's just trying to lock him in and get that old man's brain
under what he used to be able to do maybe.
Let's see if it works. They've got to win this, they've got to win another one,
they've got to win two more after that as well. It's a long, long road, but they can do it.
We have seen mostly impossible from this squad in the past.
and they come back and be a thorn in Vitira's side yet again. Years on after tonight I hear
a world championship. Bits up, pass the first, oh he doesn't get the best touch and this
actually works out beautifully, oh but anywhere but there! Right down the middle and there's
a goalkeeper in that position. As Vitira goes over the top, has to watch the dunk, nice
touch and rip dose and goes low to see Vitira just covering high and it just feels
Like if KDC can get the first goal, we haven't seen that scenario yet in-game.
So we haven't seen that first goal on the court.
He just put him in a retro.
Is that going to be it? Here we go!
Alpha 54-1-0.
Alpha 54 got given a gift on that one.
Juicy, very careless.
Just flings it directly into his direction.
And Alpha 54 does not need a second invitation.
And the first time in the series, Adam Poffel got the leads.
This is it, the scenario we haven't seen before.
We haven't calculated exactly who would be the outcome from this.
A 1-0 to the top.
To the KDC at home.
Get the touch up, a 54, a lone dole scorer.
Side ball now, but zero, low 50.
Once more, it's pretty jammed up in the corner here.
It's a little awkward.
It's up.
Get the touch that he was looking for out,
but wants to pass downfield and finds that man.
He finds the flip, look at you again, and they say he's double-commanded.
What's Radosa doing? Is he throwing the game? No, he might have just opened it up.
As Casey looks to punish, Vanilla got punished on the other end.
That's the ball of higher. Yeah, that was, uh, I don't know why they did that, but, hey,
it's work. It's fine. Greasy with me. Proud of them.
More and more bumps here from it, so more and more demos from everybody.
We're gonna continue searching. Alpha, is juicy. That's also colliding to one another.
We got a double command!
Whoa!
Everybody do it!
It's relaxed!
And let's go again!
Juicy!
Just relax, man!
I just saw 200 boost disappear in half a second as a post.
Just trying to sum it to the ball for no reason with no one on KC Challenging.
That's it.
Once the fifth, you can see it in midfield control.
Juicy.
Keep in the ball locked.
KD, see for Tyra with the shot and half of the 54.
Just sneaking in the front post.
find a way out maybe a little bit of space as well the flick doesn't land but
it is arts and chaos I don't know if cannot go just said let's just go for it
let's turn off combs perhaps because that's what it looks like with the
rip front oh the shot coming in but you see just a little bit too easy for the
goalkeepers oh very high challenge actually and didn't really force too much
to miss us do you see that's the first looking for a doses car almost fine as
way the entire way through. Ministers can get rid of it.
If they have a chase as well, it's got his entire team just behind him.
Two minutes left and the reverse sweep is 100% happening if this goes all the way.
Wow, that's quite a high percentage I might say on that.
We'll see what happens. It's a bit of 50.
Now for 54, so I'm on beats with Tira.
Atso does get dunked as well. It's in a nice spot here.
It's juicy. Atso just wants to demo.
He hasn't got away from it, but Tira's awkward as well,
The both low boosts as well. Atto had to make the touch. Does so. The pressure still mounting on KZ.
As we said, they haven't been in this position before. Can they handle the pressure?
Oh, one of the greatest teams in Rockaly history, K.DotGorb.
Atto's always way up. Good pot to his own teammate. But Tierra always had big, so awkward.
No real follow-up, and Juicy's with it as well.
I recall just showing some of those old vulnerabilities as we go bread and butter!
Redos is sponsored early, but the air drill bump is always a threat.
Now they look to try and send to the board.
Nobody's around, nobody's in a pretty good boost, but here's the last one back.
Mitza takes the 50, over to the corner, and even if they can't create anything,
there's a shit-kill a little bit of time off there.
But we've got some players returning off Devos!
Mitza's dead, and Mitza gets rid of it.
Beautiful respect for Mitza.
Went back, bought new material, was gonna have a huge rip on that reset.
That's what it does back off Alfa's pit.
If all might have to say,
Misha as well, this is getting real awkward.
Near post Misha is the only one with boost.
Alfa covers the shot beautifully,
but they're still in big trouble.
It's got to be a tough last 30 seconds.
Here's the dunk.
Just Misha in there.
Reset, back for it.
Bang!
There was nothing left.
They tried everything,
but they've got no boost.
They've got no players.
I've got no hope. Zero across the boards.
One now to KC.
They've got it back to one piece.
It was not going to be that easy.
KDK got five seconds.
And now it's going to be tough
because the momentum is all for the blue wall.
They've had 11 shots. It took 11
to get their first goal, KC.
But now they're pushing.
Now they're looking hungry.
And so it's making absolutely everyone.
The wedge on the goal line.
The pitch comes through.
We try to start the entire team.
And maybe K-Lop as well, who has been hitting the gym with 10 seconds left.
I think this KDC team won overtime.
Now for 54, can he end it?
Let's create the first goal and extend this series.
Because the ball is in the wrong end.
If you're a KDC fan, Atso rips it back post, nobody home.
The ball will eventually find the ground.
We have overtime, but we haven't been here before.
Yeah, we've got overtime.
Well, Atso, go for loads of fakes.
I feel like he's all six times seven.
the last one you see something to get all of those back into a
most massive brilliant position KDC just don't send
enemy on the follow didn't quite have the boost so that's
what's not very good touch there from it's up needs to
recover the play must score here for KDC or they are
eliminated and they will be up to hoping that
Jermeter eliminated it's it's off and alpha reads it's
so well to just palm the ball on a bit of game and
just hit a two hard reset juicy goes low walk by
Redosin, it's Vittira now, he's lost possession, Alpha just throws a 4th.
They've really lost control of this game here KDC, but it only takes one moment,
one mistake, you've come in, just get a little ahead of themselves.
We all the aggression they've had, it's a nice fake from Anso,
Mitz is still ready, Vittira finds a 50 downfield, Alpha just gets time to control it.
Can they bring this game back on their terms here KDC?
Because the blue wall, they're loving the time in the 4th or in charge.
Ah, 100 boosts turn up so nicely though for Alpha, so he should be able to jump onto this.
It's a little bit late, that was a very slow aerial from Alpha, and now his team's in the top spot!
Crossbar OP, the fourth man comes through for them.
Now Alpha takes it, chance to try and create something.
Redozen is waiting for 100 boosts over in the middle,
because why not? It's only a tournament life on the line!
That was an incredible camera snap, but mom's making the world.
Now we're seeing a solo play, Pancer Redosin, just waiting.
He just put his control on our waiting for the 100 boost,
which he eventually collects.
Off the middle now, Alpha misses the ball, Redosin.
That man with the 100 boost, getting to work.
Just wanting that for Tira.
He rolls out and makes the important touch.
Alpha's by himself for a second here.
Nice touch to roll that back into a much more playable
position as Redosin's now gonna be able to take this
over, 1v2, at least for a second, wanted the player.
very difficult to get an edgeable bump against the team that just a thrive on them in the form of coming called Juicy
We have a heat check here. It's all good for a dosing
Usually like those when they're already on their way down
Oh, that's hot and that is all the pressure gone after he's going chasing. He wants everybody
Mean that was a huge starts from it's Alpha got demoed back post
It was just him and he managed to get the ball around the attack up
Here's the reset middle Alph. It's gonna be underneath. He does get a demo as well as possible.
Back with Sirathosa, who wasn't expecting it. And now Alph has got himself in trouble with low post.
Obviously low post. Sirathosa has to make the save as well.
They're just batting down the hatches here. KDC, at total to the low 50.
Juicy wants in, but he misses.
How are they still in this tournament?
They're getting away with it.
Alpha 54 on the challenge. Here comes Vati.
Once the first-time shot played to the corner alpha could wait for it powers the ball along juicy reads that so nicely
Three minutes of OT still looking for the goal
It feels like they are constantly chasing for more booze KDC just gonna get a good spot
This might actually be a bastard's far too fast
KDC would just not lie down this team
If this if they can get this overtime win when three minutes 20 in they can completely turn the series
But I'm gonna get the job done.
And it might not happen!
Because the save came in!
The ball still found its way into the back of it.
It rolled just devastatingly.
Guys, look at that, and that's gonna break some hearts.
I think it's broken all of ours.
Run it back.
Lucky.
Play it again.
I'm gonna call.
Renestablishing the hierarchy.
They are not here.
But anything else than to be the best in not just the region, but in the world.
They've now made top four.
And their fans now start looking a little bit more comfortably towards Paris.
OK, they now retain their spot as joint fifth.
They now need help.
They require a couple of teams to eliminate gentlemen.
That team is Manchester City, but also in that fight.
But I mean, this team keeps sticking around,
But this was one step too fast, DJ.
One step too far, and in the battle of the Corbz,
Kami Corbz have sent Kato Corbz into liquidation.
It was a fantastic journey.
It was an impressive win over Vitality.
The KC move on to the semifinals.
It's a Oro sweep.
We've got gentlemates taking on Manchester City,
our first semifinal coming up after the break.
OK, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe.
Should be all set.
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.
Maybe something like, I have protection and just need a lifeguard.
What about that emoji with a sharp face?
Or maybe flooded with emotion.
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.
You know, technically you don't have to post everything that happens online.
What? I totally believe you. Life is meaningless without affirmation, am I right?
The whole band.
When they're wondering what to listen to to move.
Don't hold back.
Galvanize.
The three of us will be there.
We'll be there for you.
Every day, Micheline innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.
Micheline, Motion for Life.
Like monsters in the night, I feel a danger
That makes you want to hide
What the cards are stacked against you
And you're standing on the edge
Now's the time, now's the time
Think about all the dreams you keep inside
Think about all the ones you love
I know this being hard would be my guide
I know that we can overcome
When the world's so cold and we lose it
I hope I feel it
I feel it
When the darkness comes and we're broken
But yeah, I feel it
That's when we need each other
I don't know where you are if you're the danger, closer than your heart.
When the weight is getting heavy
And the future is unsteady
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Think about all the dreams you keep inside
Think about all the ones you love
I know there's been one in my garden
I know that we could all become
When the heart's heart calls and we lose it
Oh, but really, I need more
When the blood is coming with me
But yeah, I need more
That's when we need each other
We all came in with a bated breath with anticipation for the greatest clashing of K versus C and
then Karmicorp brought a cannon to Hunter Rabbit and it was all over.
over four up four down. The
blue wall retains their title
of best KC here. Shogun. You
watched it with detailed detailed
vision. Tell me all the details
of the things you saw. I mean,
they're just. This is the KC
that we see when we get juicy
and after playing good Rocket
League, they are just a step
above. We've not had it for
out this event. We've not
really had it in quite some
time, but that was one where
I think the Turkish stuff. Take
a step back and appreciate the
team is these gots. We're
They're just Mr. No funds over here, you know, we're looking at, you know, we want a challenge and see what's he came up
Corp go to at least champions field and they're like, you know what? No, we're gonna slip through
We're probably gonna have to play three matches today. We want to win this. Let's get it done early
We saw it right away game on the ato making plays by himself and you're all right
He's waking up if that's happening a coming Corpus back and they will talk the entire way
There's a long overtime. There was a little bit of hope
But not enough. I mean you said our captain no funds, but you're playing it's
The captain that the great commander of all fun rattle on the other side
And you're able to keep him from having fun you got to be playing some really strong rock league here coming core looking control the whole way
I mean this is the sort of force that we want to see from there obviously not quite what we as the neutrals
Wanted to see but the car coming up fans are now making mistakes. I didn't make any during the actual cast
that's what we get to hear.
It's a little bit more difficult for me.
Kamiko, if they want to go back
to being the best team in the world,
they should be rolling series like this one.
And that's exactly what they did, Gibbs.
Yeah, like you can maybe lose one.
And instead it was just one long overtime,
but they got the 4-0 and they will move on.
The dream is dead for K-Dot Court,
but they're still in the running
for one of those top five spots.
We'll see them in the final open
and see if they can make magic happen
and make it a Paris.
And that leaves us with just two matches left,
or three matches left on the day here, folks.
Manchester City will be playing
Gentlemates here next.
Carmencourt will take on the Ninjas in pajamas.
Maybe we'll get Carmencourt versus Gentlemates rematch yet again.
We get them for a third time in this tournament.
They'll have to win their next respective matches.
Let's talk about the one that's coming up here.
Man City started off the day up against East Sports there,
going to game six, but getting the win pretty cleanly
other than kind of dropping game five there for a moment.
So now, level it up in competition, the gentlemates.
Coming in as defending major champions,
trying to regain the title of regional champion here, Shogun.
Yeah, and they've been playing awful a lot better for it,
haven't they, Rhett?
I mean, it seems to happen awful a lot, doesn't it?
Where one team wins a big event,
and then immediately afterwards, they struggle for whatever reason.
It is, it's not rare in this esport, for many reasons.
At least we're not quite up to the world champion curse
that we have for a very, very long time.
But, oh, this is the guy right here on Man City.
Ziko, he was not this good when he was on GK.
I don't know what has happened.
He has leveled up so much, Gibbs,
since he's been in Man City.
It feels like, and obviously we know this,
but he's found his reactions that sometimes he looks bored.
And it felt like Split went online.
He was just bored.
He wasn't playing that well.
But when it comes to majors and Lance,
he shows up, he showed up there,
like at the most major.
And then there's no greater motivation
than being kicked off a team.
And you want to knock them out of Paris Major while you make it with your brand new team.
So he's looking fantastic right now.
The thing is that last series was closer than it should have been.
And now they're going to have to level up to play against this mates squad that could be best in the world.
So the players get sat down in their very bespoke room.
Which hopefully motivates them to play a little bit better here.
I don't know.
jelly. One thing to talk about here that we haven't mentioned yet. We are now heading
into kind of round two of the day. Both the teams coming in from the semifinals, first
match of the day, not warmed up. And we've seen time and time again, Shogun, getting
to play a warm team. Always, I thought they always struggle. The team that's always
going to slow, be a little bit slow to start. There's almost like a nice middle
ground. Isn't there? Where if it's a very easy four, uh, then you don't usually
feel that great going into the full up series. But also we've seen a lot of
times where you play a very,
very close game seven that sort of
drains you and you don't also play
all that well. So I think it was the
perfect opening round for Manchester
City. They had to play enough to
really zone in. But for
gentlemates, I mean, it's almost
in hindsight. You know, we thought
it was so bad two weeks ago, wave
punk, of how bad that result was.
And then last week, everyone
just sort of felt bad for them
and just went, yeah, don't worry,
gentlemen, everybody's having a
rough time of it at the moment.
No one's assistant.
It's almost, it feels okay now, two weeks later.
So let's not forget though, in open forward,
the reason why they had a bad placement,
they had to play K-Corp in the lower bracket.
The reason why they were in the lower bracket round one,
they played Man City and they got destroyed.
Man City won that three to zero.
They outscored them nine goals to two.
So Man City, lately has the edge on Mates,
but obviously Mates didn't look like that same team.
Was this more of a matchup and man city knows what to do or mates back?
That is the real question mark here.
Well, the mates have beaten Carmen core twice in this tournament after
getting knocked out by them in the last one.
So if they were to be man city in this situation, they sort of
kind of wipe open for off the table.
Like that was, that was a weird blip.
We don't talk about that or back to normal or ready to go.
But that's a big if at this point, can man city do it two times in a row?
Let us know what you think of the aggressive fan vote hashtag
M8 for the Mates, hashtag MCFC from Manchester City here.
And I'm curious, I'm curious if any of you believe Gibbs,
you're hyping them up.
You're talking about how Man City's had that number
and Man City seems to be able to do that.
There seems to be a stylistic mismatch sometimes
with Man City going up against other teams
that have found wins against better opponents
that then they cannot seem to bring out those same results
against the boys in the light blue here.
So who you got Mates or Manchester City?
Man City, I feel like they have not convinced me in their other games.
I get it was a 4-0 versus Grid of Goose, but they trailed in three of those games.
Then it gets whippy sports.
It goes to Neo Tokyo, but it probably should not have.
I think Mates are back.
I think Mates are going to be your EU number one seed.
I think they win this tournament actually, so I'm going to pick the Mates here.
Number one seed.
That's a lot of work they've got to do.
I'm throwing everything on the table.
Going all in.
It is helpful that the vitality are out. So yeah, that's why it's a lot more open than we thought.
I did like the pull you brought up earlier, wave about how, you know, a couple of wins in a row
against these opponents, but that doesn't seem to be the sort of an indicator of victories at the
moment. You know, NIP, the vitality, there seems to be the salty run back is working very,
very nicely for a lot of squads. I think Jermaine's are going to get that. I think
they're marching on to the next round. Okay. Okay. Well, unfortunately, I think we're
We're going to curse him up here.
I also have the mates.
They have looked back and formed,
loved what we saw from them yesterday.
But when we talk about Manchester City,
they've managed to do this once before.
What is the recipe for success there, Gibbs?
How does Man City put it together on the field against?
Seiko, Seiko, Seiko.
Let's see what he does.
If he can carry this team early in this,
they get momentum, there's a shot.
All players, all eyes on the former world champ,
Ken Seiko, bringing out the magic yet again.
He can edge up to be an acro rally around him.
Ladies and gentlemen, 80% favorite in chat and a full sweep on the desk.
A spot in the grand final sits for the winner of this contest.
Folks, it's championship Sunday.
Let's keep it rolling.
Manchester City versus the gentlemen's.
One in five of you in chat may have the leaf that Manchester City are going
to be able to beat the gentle mates, but three out of six players on the pitch
believe that they are able to take it.
Gentle mates, however, stand in their way.
And CJ, the last time these two teams met, it was a 3-0 sweep in the groups in open four in favor of setting.
Oh, and I'm wearing light blue today, so I'm feeling a game 1-5-5 aggressive, a game 1's going to be huge is something of it.
I think if Man City can start to cook, if the World Championship can start to cook, as the death said,
I want to see Seiko on line and really showing that GK roster why they should not have got rid of it.
Yeah, I think also, what Gibbs is saying about the gentlemen could well get to that first seed in Europe.
Do you need to just get through series like this?
This has to be a dominant KC4, or vitality form a couple of years ago, of this is a 4-0-4-1, a culture of 4-2 series.
You do not lose these kinds of series, and the single gentlemen are capable of their current reigning major champion in incredible fashion at that.
But they have got that big weight on their shoulders.
They were not able to get the dub to even get to this point,
to get to the playoffs last time around.
Nice one, he had a fight.
With a reset, there he is, major MVP
in the greatest grand final performance
we've ever seen.
He is cooking game one.
It only took 50 seconds.
It was a reset to make Seiko and HV got all tangled up
on the post.
It's slamming into the seating as well.
It's the sheer speed to then rotate your car around
and then get the reset.
Stunning play from Nas,
and we've identified Nas, of course, as that major MVP,
the most dominant we have ever seen.
Seiko on the other side of things.
He has been that guy in his time,
and during this entire weekend, CJ,
he has looked to be towards that point.
He has been remarkable yesterday, especially.
Yeah, he's certainly found a new lease,
and I feel like he's given a little bit of confidence
to the old boys.
So under the pre-open area, maybe can still get the job done, especially the now for 54.
Looking back into Savage FCB days, he's still cooking well.
Well, he's actually cooking today, KC put them well and truly into dirt.
Here is Oskie finds one.
Can he get a reset as well?
He can on net off the bar.
Nass underneath, generalmates.
And a start of this game hard to consider as well.
This is their first game of the day.
You might have forgiven them for a slow start, a slow game one.
That's not the case at all.
Lovely demo.
It's one.
who's going to be there to shoot next.
Sanko taps it, Nass, the next one to send in the defense,
is very well recovered by City.
They were down to a single man who held the four.
HB, top corner, doubles it own.
Just kind of let him shoot, didn't they?
They sat in there, Archie went back post and just camped.
And Nass is well off the backboard, slow rotation.
Archie thought he could let that hit the bar,
but it was too quick and it was too good of a shot.
Two minutes in, one goal apiece.
And that's a lovely position from Edgeby as well, right off the crossbar, near impossible to save it.
So he could come in to swipe it leftwards, that's again on low boost, he's been in this position a few times, the positioning is great, the boost collection a little bit less so.
One-one, man city, finally all important equaliser with plenty of time to spare, Archie finds the 50, loses it back to Nassu as you said.
Q has zero boost once again. He's seriously got some problems picking up those yellow pads.
There's Edge V. Off the side with Archie, the 51 by Archie, but they're gonna lose possession man,
City. Something a little bit more settled and they almost found an isolated Nass, who for the
first time in this game has got that under boost. The Nass has picked up the least amount of boost
in the entire game by a few hundred. He has not been rotating particularly efficiently via those
pads or at least via the big boost, or they've installed them from him because he positioned
himself so aggressively. So he needs to make sure that if he's getting in his position that's all
well and good but you need to have the resources to justify why you're there.
It's a touch-off but from Oski, what a shot coming through here. It's been asked with the shot as
well. Akro had to make the double save and Asako's got a one-on-one. He's got a one-on-one on
top with the pump. Oski dodges, makes the save. Aski still throws it on there but doesn't
find the angle that Akro does. A three-point parking job in the middle of Froski,
he has the roe eggs here and it hits the crossbar to the post and the all two three
all goodness me sends our way from our tubes and piled beneath him from hero to zero for
oski there man city and interestingly that's a just a beautiful play they just
overcommitted their general mates and left their last man on an island they do put a lot
of pressure on speaking all precious they don't put a bit of heat on the third man on that
occasion HV to the side, Seiko. And we regain himself with the mid boost, Akro up top to himself
off the roof, can he find the reset? Goes low, then low boosted, Genoise! There it be! Trouble
that sketch! Bumps! And that placement from HV once again, second to none.
Spectacular pressure too, that's too soft committing to it. And Akro immediately dives
on the defender after taking the shot, leading into the assist. Great play from Siti, swallowing
the mates. I love it as well. You put it exactly where Nass was positioning so it gave Nass no option
but to try and make the save and also it made the bump as easy as possible for Acro. Just beautiful
team play from Man City and there's a reason why I've got the light blue on. There's something in
the water here Man City taking it to the major chance early. 70 seconds, Archie drops it towards
Oskie. Nass removes Acro. Oskie with a reset but never meant to be, can't do too much with it.
Sekou's sending in long and Archie just has to boom there.
Long boost gives him very few options.
Nice tip on by Oskie.
Akura bangs it straight back. Return to sender.
Yeah, Archie, we speak about our Artee.
It's the ball. I think Man City are up to the task though
because they have been slamming this thing around the pitch.
45 seconds left.
Man City up by two.
Gentlemates, can they find my right hand by Archie?
What's it said play?
I want to finish.
Wasp, speed, sent from Oskie, tipped on by Nass, finished by Archie.
Bosch, the three-man play to cut it down to one goal difference.
And Bosch, Father Archie, makes it two, three, 41 seconds to find one more.
The placement was fantastic.
Man City had two in net as well.
The shot was too good.
Oskie loses to Fethi Archie to himself.
Side ball, pre-flip, he doesn't land.
Oh, it's Seiko. It's a free ball.
Nass is awkward. He made some big mistake.
He goes up the side wall and doesn't get the bounce he was looking for.
Through Orca from Archie here, he sort of has his jump swallowed by the ball.
Nass a complete miss flip and Seiko have to just guess that he's going to be missing it.
Very awkward play as Nass did not think that he was going to be called into action.
And he just went up the wall.
He kind of thought it was going to bounce a little more laterally across the net,
but it just kicked out enough.
He had to pre-flip on the spot, completely wished and Seiko was ready for two.
They'll probably be enough now is this is impressive for a man city.
They went down a goal, they fought their way back,
and this is an impressive two-doll lead
that they can hang on to in 10 seconds left.
As high-born, it's going to be benefiting Man City and Man City alone.
Gentlemates, taken down in game number one.
And this is what it sort of felt like
when the mates had their lead to run.
You're thinking, OK, they've got one.
Can they get any more?
Hmm, this is game on, we must say Cho to step up.
Ladies and gentlemen, you take a look at this scoreboard at a moment.
Step up, it might be an understatement, at least offensively.
We've talked about his offense, he scored the fourth goal of the game, but he just
notched up six saves and 800 points against the Major champ.
A near thousand point game, just completely in regulation.
Only four goals scored, as I'll bear in mind.
An incredible performance, 14 shots in total.
Four of the mates, but the nine on City.
But that amount of precision we saw come from HB's bonnet
means that Manchester City walked away with three points
and gave them a lot.
What I love from Ant City as well, three shots a piece.
I know the defensive side was kind of carried a little bit
They're carried a little bit by Seiko with the sixth saves there, but they all got involved
in the offense.
I love the fact that they're all moving and they're moving and shaking.
They've got three shots of their name apiece, they're setting each other up, I love the
bumps coming through, Akro is opening up space for Edgeby, the placements there and
Seiko is getting the job done as well.
I just like the team.
I think they're locked in, I'm impressed.
They can keep this up.
When we see some teams get locked in and still when they face the biggest dog in
Europe right now, they may well fall. Archie, he's looking at the biggest dog by a margin
so far during this open qualifier. He's a 30, 9% shooting percentage, clear by 4% over
the second place player. He has been phenomenal in those finishing situations. He just has
to make sure that he gets himself there nice and frequently as he has been so far.
And if City, they can shut him down and means that he can't just get those relative
happens that he does get himself in the perfect position for he's going to be a lot less threatening
You know the other way with it as well. I think well gentlemen, you know that Archie's going to be
Mr consistent. He's always going to be performing offensively finishing the set plays but it's
more about Nas as well getting involved. We saw the performance he put in in the grand final.
Can we see it more often is the question. Oskie as well is patchy. Sometimes he's
he's locked in and you can see the net coming through but how consistently are we seeing it
And I think they're all locked in, they're beating everyone, but when it's just Archie, it's tough work.
I think that's when they won the major right, is when we saw Nath obviously incredible, but all of them were on form.
Oh, a little bit of a...
Who broke it?
They go broke it, I think, and then immediately they say to...
They go.
...Chart, what do you mean?
What color does?
He... I mean, he just did so much good work to win our hearts.
You know, 800 points in game one, and it's all been thrown away with that rule one.
break that is so disappointing to see something unfortunately snaco rears his ugly head now rule
one continue and there it is bites like a viper absolutely flaco the fact that he didn't want
to continue with that rule one he said i'm out of here and they get punished one deal until
mate's opening goal and you have to think it's safe within the break it would they still
Look at that one. I don't know. I don't know. See all the gods have got ball. A shot just wide.
And what a living clear from Seiko. That is a lovely touchdown and Acre unfortunately has to shy away from it.
Archie dunks on one. Acre has to get a bit next. The psycho attempt. I love to see it.
Yeah, you've got to go for it in that situation. You don't really have any other options.
That's kind of when magic can happen. So let's see if Seiko can redeem his reputation.
But it's just taking an almighty hit with that broken rule one.
Generates suddenly able to punish, but they didn't get the first goal of game one and we know how that went for them
Recending his world championship. I say do a read Wow Wow mate might maybe a little far, but you know, I respect you
Also too far, but you know not bad. You know some people really passionate about these war ones
Heart is in the right place direction it from
Let's see if they can maybe get the goal. Here he is!
They go to this time block play.
Oski doing the work defensively.
Genome makes this time, doubling the shots of Man City half-way through game two.
It's looking like it's trending towards a tied series.
We'll see what Man City can produce here.
Half-way through, it's going to be Acre carrying over that half-way line.
It's been to take a nice touch down, but now it's the immediate challenge.
We're going to fake him out, and the patch edge has been caught off.
He can't quite retain control of that board for Shaw on target and Snakeo from the cave can clear our way
I think we can stop calling him Snakeo now, but you know we keep it up
If you want Acro nearly by some touch off ski
Mines a touch of the corner to be double committed. So it goes actually hit the ball twice
If you really was on target in the end Acro can control it
Gentleman to kind of park the bus a little bit here, which could come back to bite them
It's a long time to be sitting in net load boost for Archie and all they're doing is really just playing keep away
He does screw up the mid-hundred, the pre-jumps are coming through, Oskie finds the 50, but he's got zero as well.
It's on this man, Nass, and he controls proceedings.
Low boost, he doesn't have to do so well, rotates together, final touch to the reset, wasn't on Oskie.
Side wall, only 30, turn to us, and Apro's got a little bit more in the tank.
Can't get a second touch down, and I think boost management here for me has been a lot better in game number two.
No one to receive that pass from Nass, but I've not seen him as low boost as he happened previously.
He's going to be pretty busy.
He'll high into no one, but it does waste a few seconds off the clock and General Mates
that will be their prerogative.
That's kind of their game plan a lot of the time when they are in the lead.
It's high into no one, but it's just so hard to counter attack.
In a quick enough manner, if you are playing them, this edge will just going to wait
in net.
Seiko doesn't get any power on that clear at all.
Edge will be down the line.
Akra is just looking for the banshees, showing a little bit of initiative here.
Seiko has picked up four saves again.
This guy is just sitting in net, hoping he'll be able to arch.
placed out on the other end 50 seconds left they need to get to work they're
finding demos but it still feels like there's someone left for this no one on
the backboard right now this has been troubled that Archie finds himself in
the right place that's where he's more at home Archie defensively that's why we
put him on Gibbs Corp he's got that defense he is the dog that wants to
make sure that the pound is safe 30 seconds Seiko gets around the side of
nuts can continue to give the 100 boost will he go for a demo here
Acro does in his stead. The ball slowed down via the medium of Archie, 20 seconds and a push. He's skippin' for Sinty.
Thanks a lot, gentlemen. It's gonna take him, making an almighty mistake from here. 12 seconds left. Archie pre-jumping.
He's gonna get bumped, but he doesn't get the demo over a quiet Acro off the side while entry...
It's been all parts of the sake! We needed to find one more, but he went the shot instead.
That could cost him this tie-up, cost him potential overtime, and the game here is
Gettemates find the ground, and he just shot a little earlier,
felt Starved, he had the extra pass and looked off.
Yeah, we think it might be Kikata for it back, go back to the wall.
Yeah, back post, back post he's on there.
Yeah, I don't blame him, two seconds, we'll see what you can do,
see if you can just sneak it in, but I'll speed driving straight towards the ball.
He is going to be able to save it away.
And there's gonna be one all in the series, tight game in the second.
And right now we're seeing the gentlemen just struggle to really pull away from Zettie in any meaningful way.
That's Seiko with tennis and the ball.
I mean, that is, yes, Neiko. Yes, Neiko.
I'll tell you what, he's not gonna be called as Seiko with defense because he looks fantastic.
He's not shaking at all. He's made 10 saves to his name over the two games, coming at five again, if you don't mind.
That's going to be looking good on the stats, but couldn't get a goal offensively.
Here's have a CJ. Hard bring a clutch of eggs with his goals and assists.
Zero and zero. A couple of eggs to his name in his little sneaky nest.
And you know, he's her word with your boy. Make sure that doesn't happen again.
Because right now, he is going to be on that line, right? If anything else goes wrong, chat. We need to jump on it.
All right, we need to make sure that...
What?
Yeah, yeah, I'm saying it.
We need to make sure that we are...
We can't be fair to him now,
because he's already broken the sacred rules, Seiko.
Mmm.
And it's something that you protect with your life,
by the sounds of these...
Real purists, apparently.
Maybe two of you are in this case.
We'll see.
It's all in the real purists.
We've got to keep running with it here,
as we do find ourselves with a Thai series.
Let's see if Man City can respond.
Let's see if Seiko can avoid all car interactions as he may do it again.
And we know what happened last time.
Straight down, Akro just about wide of the target.
Seiko just a shoot, actually lost it, very intelligent.
I like that play from him.
Gets around the side of Nat, the little slow play.
Low boost again, Oskie's the only one with any,
but nothing to follow with it.
Nidalaan's perfectly in his path.
Blake's out as our choice would have meant to come in.
I don't know if he had much of an idea
because he seemed to be taken completely by surprise at the end of the ball.
I'd like to play, but just the execution, extremely poor there for all the gentlemen.
It's the double fake into just no one following it up.
Front post, save, coming through by Edge v.
They do have boost here, Bansky outside of Akro, so the defence shouldn't trouble them too much.
Lesowski could really cause some mischief.
Double commit coming through with the 50 as well.
Edge v's going to get that corner boost on this fall
on the beautiful indicator, suggesting just that Archie finds the shot.
The bump doesn't land from Nass.
Gentlemen, spawning some middle of pressure.
I think this pressure, it's hard to say maintained by the amount of demos that they're finding arching
just removes anybody with a four-res lava in the orange half
gets them off to the scrap yard, nice 50's around the top
arching out towards the target, again just floating it somewhere
makes it a bit awkward, a double demo, say could we now stake each other out
should be challenging Bersnaz in that corner
and Mancini's starting to build a bit more pressure
Oh, no!
That's disgusting!
That kick back guys, some new ankles real quick.
Absolutely rinsed in the car.
It didn't really do anything, but it was fantastic to watch there from Oskie as he finds a 50 again this time.
And, gentlemen, on ball with space.
Oskie with a reset low boost.
One more Acro and I save.
Man, he looked pretty settled.
Settled enough, I'd say, in defense, but gentlemen,
it's getting more and more comfortable as the series wears on as well.
If you imagine Oski during that fake, just out of the corner of his car goes,
Whee!
And he goes flying by.
It didn't mean too much, but, you know, you look sick.
If there was proximity change, you'd say, Whee!
And he goes flying past, the bump doesn't land,
but I like the attempt there.
And the truth from Archie, who's having the track back with boost,
Edgey, he's hitting it on a double touch, off the post,
should be a goal, but it's off the corner again!
Gentlemates, now they get that out.
Got the left post and now one of them to go from the double tap onto it.
Great saves coming through from the mates.
City, this prospective pressure is working them pretty well so far.
Nass, decent chunk of boost and a demo.
Clears the way.
Demolition crew has been through and the second round cannot make it.
And Seiko stops in the path of the ball.
Archie, nice and high up above the net.
Nass will be the next to it.
Flaps it!
Whoa!
He was in huge trouble, Akro left him on an absolute island but he clutched up, keeps the score line side at 0-0 as Akro backs off this time and he's floating.
Vines basin, they've actually been caught out here gentlemen, it's not on the backboard, Nass has to make an incredible touch and he does pitch it around.
But Man City, just get a chance to attack. This setup is not quite conventional from gentlemen since they're both on the backboard but the mechanics get them out of trouble time and time again.
Final 90, this deadlock has not been broken just yet.
Only one goal in the previous after the something Archie.
He's gonna be first at this Archie, still awkward.
Attempts straight, I love a ceiling pass,
but this time it is not gonna come to anything.
A reset, round one.
HB that hasn't tapped over the air roll!
From Oskie, does two of them!
That's just brilliant from Oskie.
He was impatient from HB, he could have waited.
It would have been free.
But Oskie with the pop reset keeps the ball close enough to find one more touch on zero boost.
That's the game plan, the playstyle, the play from Oskie.
We want to see time and time again.
And when he's performing like that,
Gentleman looks fantastic.
I want to see more of it.
Are you ready now to just see a little bit of boomer ball from Gentleman?
Unless they can see, this ball is about to get absolutely loose as well.
They must pass back to Archie.
He's in it as hard as possible.
HV is going to control this, let's see what he can do, now ripping it just as that reset
was ripped on their acro across to the side, Seiko has gone the first, and it's ripped
the pass back across to the back for Seiko to stand there, no he's not going to stick
around for too long, just like he didn't stick around for too long in that rule one, 30
seconds left, gentlemates are completely bugging the bus, god we are on patchy, 25
Seconds Archie, lovely demo.
Nasus has a nice boost to get to it.
Oskar's gonna have to retreat somewhat,
falls into Seiko's trap.
As the Alicone derp manages to get around the ball
and keeps it close to him.
Left hand ball with Archie continuing down.
Final 10, Akro, you need something.
He does have the reset off the ceiling,
but Nas gets a double tap.
Will that be enough?
He just wanted to fake.
He didn't have the boost to kill on with it,
but Pops is safe.
Kylo is going on the backboard.
Archie pre-jumps, which is caught on by Oskie,
who finds the ground.
GG, JoeMates, take the lead.
Two-one in the series,
and then Jintome is getting into that flow
a little bit towards the sort of mid of that game,
incredibly even,
but I sense as soon as Jintome's got that goal,
a weight went off their shoulders.
It felt like, ooh, okay, all right, we've got that one.
Happy days.
We can, we can just whack it now.
We can just absolutely send this ball of sly in,
and that's what they did,
way, uncity, really good struggle to get anything, not even like convincing, so some
good convincing shots, but anything like crazy threatening towards the gentleman's defense.
Yeah, gentlemen, so sometimes you just need, yeah, sometimes you just need a little bit of
magic. They put a hole in the crossbar in that corner post down the other end that Oskie
just a beautiful 1v2 and he does get space. You didn't have too much boost of work with
you can see him popping off on the play cam as well. Now it's a bit of pressure
on this Man City defence and this Man City team should I say who have well for the most part defended
well more than admirably you see Seiko with another three saves she's had 13 for the series now in
three games but yeah where's the where's the shift up coming down the other end is going to be the
question I think from city's perspective they had that game in pretty good stead it does as I
said and thinks that they had too many chances so from that double chance they hit the exact
team corner of the post. But I do think that they need to purchase a bit more
for do a few more threatening plays. Not seen a huge amount from this team that
makes me think that they're going to be able to outdo the major champions despite
the hiccups that they've had. They have still got that caliber of play and we
are seeing a fantastic level from the mate so far. They're playing some quite
impressive rock. We've ever seen Boston which they made their own. See if they
can regain a regional title as well here in Europe Open 5.
Oskie has kind of scared of that one to Akro, throws it on net,
doesn't trouble Nass at all, has worked it out,
has Oskie across who wants to get involved,
but she said, no, that's going to be my fault.
A little close pass has come through as Oskie almost drips that one on net.
Still going to be momentarily open.
In fact, Oskie just wanted to stick around for a redirect,
but he doesn't make contact.
Lovely boot scrub there from Nass.
Of course, he just flipped when he goes to the next challenge
to Carl Lund on the wall.
And that could have been an incredibly quick turnaround with their boost.
For the sake of safety, if that's not happened, that's not from Seiko.
Identifies that his final keeper is going to be in trouble there.
So, has to take it away and take control.
So, again, a reset goes low, pops it again.
Oski reads, Oski still challenges Seiko, my goodness!
Like a bird of stone on his eggs from the nest, and he's chasing after him.
He was an angry man, momentarily there.
Seiko now finds a shot on net, double commit.
They've actually bumped each other here and they should be fine the shot.
It's a quarter-pass instead and that kind of just gave Gentlemates a little bit of time to set up.
But they're still awkward. Seiko.
Backboard was Akron in fact. Archie had low boost and Seiko just comes flying in.
If you don't mind, he finds the touch.
Gentlemates getting pressed but this defense has just been ridiculous and they've found a way out.
I mean they've found a way out as well when they have zero boost for all players.
Incredible that they've managed to get it as far as the opposition there.
And then now they've got time to reposition and get the thru's back.
Now, since they're completely out of archive play, I love to try and maintain pressure and control of their ball.
It worked extremely well. Asked out, trying to go for a bump, swipes across the goal line.
A current nice touch up, and the speed at this game, this is being played at supersonic always.
Alright, shooting, gentlemen. By the looks of these, they've had the control of the boost ever since they were starved momentarily.
deep fans as Nass is a little bit awkward.
As you lean on the corner now he gets stolen and Seiko should be able to scoop up mid and
beat him to the ball but Nass removes him from the pitch.
Archie, he gets dusted, finds in close enough touch to keep pressure on, keep the offense
going here for General Mains.
That was much women, well, short left as Man City find their way out but it's straight
back to Nass.
This midfield is so hot we can test it right now, Thumpy.
Yeah, I mean so far it's just been complete pressure almost entirely in that midfield.
It has been the pressure in favour of gentle mates so far.
56% of the time, they have had the pressure
in the opposition's half, but that is changing by the second.
Every single touch is just about registering.
As it goes past that half well,
and it's been to catch, and it is being absolutely sent
back and forth, near the team,
maintaining close control to get something on it here.
No reset game, unfortunately.
Hopefully, you can do a little bit of zero-boost match here.
like both teams very comfortable in this kind of scenario just one nil games
where they're kind of waiting preying on a mistake from either team it was in
city to make the mistake in game three who will be the first to blink it's a
falter here in game 4 90 seconds left well demo is coming through acro
throws it across to seiko I'm gonna scoop up that back corner boost over
the top of oski can he get the 50 on nasi goes low gonna be archi it's gonna be
second up, no he's gone in the net. This is big trouble for Archie. He didn't want to meet the challenge on the side wall and got punished for it.
I mean, Oskie dives in, low boost, he's so back anyway, Nats then can't get any touch. Edgeby fakes it. Archie is in a 2 on 1 with a fake flying through.
I am not surprised that he scored that because that was magic in the sky.
He was in a lot of trouble, wasn't he, when he didn't have the boost to get up to the ball as well. He just said, well, there we go.
turned in the net for the beautiful shot, just 1-0.
Actually, kind of doing to Jermaine's got the edge of two of them
in the previous game, big mistake,
and trying to hang on to that 1-0 lead.
Yeah, it's didn't like how Nass or Oskie really approached it.
It was a low 50, takes the ball low,
and then immediately then, full of art,
Sachi takes the shot!
Oh!
Why?
Why didn't you talk about that?
So for the answers to the slow shot,
then nothing was going to happen with.
And then HB's kind of coming back.
He got chased in there, he got chased in there, he had to turn around and I don't think that
we're ready for it. Edge thought his teammate was fine but the communication wasn't quite
on point.
So now she's got to work in there, it's a little bit awkward on the angle we had in
game but yeah that's a costly one there, I mean it could have easily been saved if
you know what I say, something double-quill-oh, hang on a second, how is he staunched to
The gentleman's defense, Seiko.
That is a fat zuch, if I've ever seen one.
A gorgeous air dribble into the triple dunk on large Oscar.
The wily snake wraps around the keeper
and sends the ball home.
Two on city, goal of the series so far.
It was a man with zero boost
against one of the largest men in Rocket League,
with 50, and he got the job done, Seiko.
Fantastic goal just to maybe ease the pressure. I'll never mind the pressures right back on gentleman's they're pushing with 20 on the clock
I mean that's the quality we expect from them the way that they could come to ball
Goodness gracious. Why is the defense falling apart?
Just drove under the ball it's ridiculous. It's like you didn't realize what Kari was in doesn't know the hitbox
Edgeby, 5-50, 3 seconds left. Seiko just wants to keep it close. There's no one in the backboard.
Seiko, reset over 2. This man is unbelievable.
The pop-up from Seiko, honestly, for about 40 seconds in this game, has been the turnaround.
Singsu Gold takes 4 shots, says see you later. We move on to game number 4.
He just clicked into another gear that nobody in the lobby had.
He went into overdrive, he hit the boost button and he powered his way to victory with that current edge be alongside in
3-1 victory to man city they tied the series up and that has caused gentle mates
to call the time out
Donate it
Yeah
At this point one of the teams is gonna take their time out now right and it's not gonna be city
If gentlemen just leave it one more, they've only got a single game, in theory they can call it until they assume the gentleman may still call it.
You may as well call it out by the sheer numbers of it, but it does feel crazy having essentially traded games here.
First on the city, next two to mates, and the final one to city now.
Don't mind it, it's an odd-shaped series so far, and so far Seiko has somewhat got the lay of the land.
Well, if you missed the pre-show, team Gibbs, one of the members was Archie and he was in
chat.
He wanted Snasky to be one of his teammates on the defensive just rock in game and right
now he needs to be there rock mentally as the coach of the mates.
He calls the timeout.
Usually you lose two and you call it, but at 2-2 here, this is, well, the go ahead
game.
It's gonna put one team on it to match points. So he sees this as the most important time
We'll find out if they can bounce back. I still think it's a it's a nice mental win though for man city
If the other things call a timeout, you only just beat them, you know
Oh, you know, not just you won 3-1, but just one game on the bounce and they're happy to call a timeout
I think it's almost like who blinks first like who blinks first out of these two teams to then be like
I think it's going to be
a little bit. Oh, we're a
little bit rattled here. It's
a good level. Is this. I am
intrigued because gentlemen
haven't really done anything
wrong. I don't think it's
going to be snapsky again as
he did at the major gives them
another call of boys. This is
what we need to do. This is
how we're going to be
approaching the series. Do the
classic thing of what's the
move on to park to parry. See, I mean, what they've talked about is it just don't let
Seiko completely 1v3 twice in a row to call game. We'll find out here in the next five minutes
of game five. Archie, off the rip though. Fantastic. Seiko actually finds a demo and
a nowhere to kick it away. Where are we? I like the look of the time out, in fact.
It's a lovely post-marchee too. He demos Seiko, the target man's out of the way, onto the little tip over with his nose.
I don't want to be that guy. He could have done it.
But regardless, he gets that goal through and it's a lovely shot from your archie.
I think he needed a speed. He had to meet the ball.
It wasn't the doing situation there and he's found the perfect opportunity to find the back of the net.
that was just all him off the rim off the kickoff creating and
taking space for his team with the finishing touch as well. Here he is again.
He's just playing a third man that's kind of sticking around
enough to turn into a first man and I like it.
Bear in mind that one of the plays that we have during our
intro during under the pre-show, it was Archie getting the redirect
on the goal line to slow the ball down in its integrity
to sneak through the event.
It was brilliant play past Kami Korpe. Pink does get caught by Ostie.
Yeah, we do see this happening quite often now with Archie who just waits in brilliant positions.
Like the HB was on him, he didn't find the touch, but he was lucky enough to be meeting the ball.
At a quick enough pace, Archie off the corner is going to HB, there's him, you feel faster.
Absolutely no one, Oskie will find the clear.
Well, he doesn't have the E-Boost at all to work with.
It's a bit of back and forth gameplay now.
So, off the time out, he could not have asked for a better start.
Hmm, yeah, perfection so far.
Maybe we'll just pose a toss at words from Snatsky.
Lovely play from Seiko to work it round two.
HB!
Pixelball!
Honestly, outstanding shot there.
I think one Nass bumped Oski into the save.
I don't think they'd get the other ones.
Yeah, whoever looked with a mid-front was, did not have that at all.
But he just got the actual lift off the team bump
team bumps to find the safe pinch off the crossbar and keep the scoreline at 1-0.
By Man City still pressing Acro touch all good here.
Oskie trying to stick around like a bad smell in the Man City defense, which they're not
too happy about.
So they go to find a way out just edge beyond ball as well.
This is, maybe I'm just going to eat my words here, I'm like a look at the time
out.
Gentleman, it's early goal, Archie looking more aggressive and I've got rewarded for
it.
safety. You'd need them to get another one. I don't feel like Man City are going to be losing
another 1-0 game. A different need to have. More push. They can't just go for their classic.
We're just now going to slam it away when we have this 1-0 lead that we don't feel that constant
that we can keep. You know, I'd like to see a couple more chances coming through. They're going
to keep fighting for it. We see them at the major. Again, we keep referencing it. They were
literally the best team in the world at that point. So it's kind of like the golden star
that they can aim for the possibilities that they can reach. So hopefully we do see that kind of
level getting sore after today. Consider clear shifting, gentlemen. They are positioning so much
higher than they were in the previous few games and often we do see them sitting in net but that
punished them. They got them punished by Seiko who was out of 50 on the goal line. They want to
defend from the midfield now, gentlemen. They play much higher rotation and playing a riskier
third man in a sense as well that has worked and they're keeping this man city defense pin
momentarily and Seiko does find a way out but yeah definite shift in play style here for the
gentlemen's. Chance for Nats here to go for that corner redirect instead of not boosting the air
on. There goes Seiden Pinch attempt that's going to pick up from the midfield. Chance for him to take that one.
Gives it close arch you know immediately goes to some bombs and HB deals with it remarkably well.
Some believes well if he found the farm there was a goal every day of the week that he dodges
and gets the pop. You had to watch that back post which was like a homing missile on net with the shot
minute 20 and City can't afford it. You can see one more goal and need to find one of their own
down the other end but once again at least different structure. You can see that Birdman just
sitting on the goal line at Dalsky. So he's sitting on the halfway line should I say and then
you've got a guy from post like NAS who gets a free shot on net underneath Seiko 2-0. Seiko has to
jump in. There's no other world where he can stay grounded. He knows NAS goes for it. He
He steals it away from Seiko, he knows therefore that he is low, if he shoots low, Seiko jumps.
Game set much, between Nass and Seiko, Nass the victor, 2-0 mate, a minute 10.
Man, the aggression is well and truly paying off, they've got their first man willing
to stick around a little bit longer, it started with Archie looking for demos, they're sweeping
through that net of man city, here's the shot though, with the bomb coming through
Acro, I mean, that was in massive trouble in there.
That's a bit of a taste of their own medicine here.
And the speed from HB to get the touch
and then immediately harassing the corner instantly
then changes their attention to get nice.
He still gets the touch, not quite enough.
Again, this is just the difference so far in this game.
Whether it's a bland or not.
50 seconds, Man City have cut the deficit down to just one.
45 on the clock edge be 50
Acro not gonna find the touch. Oskie hasn't won on this safe. Oh, it's
It's the edge we rotating in time, but they are looking for those bumps
They're just happy to leave the ball and find them. Oh say go with space underneath once the reset to Acro
That's the way Oskie the steps edge be to himself as Acro on the left can he find him?
He's got a fake the infielding step it she does read it on that occasion
I think generates should be able to get out with a nice 50
It's about to final 15. It begins to tick. Archie's low boost at the back as is Oskie.
Saker's got a lot and just stole another. He's on 200 boost right now. Saker's...
That's not possible. Middle with it. Goes high from Akro, Vernat, then the media dive in.
Shut them down. Earlier's past HB. He...
Oh, hang on.
...leaves it away from the ground. Saker...
Hang on.
...leaves it up for the double. Archie puts them down for the count.
Gentle mates, take their third and move to match point.
Feel like you could just pitch yourself
inside the combs of General Mates' Archie
when they're going bang with the clean outfield.
Hits the deck.
General Mates, what a response.
What a timeout as Man City now decided their time.
Why not your three, two down?
This might be your last chance to do it.
But it worked for General Mates.
Hmm.
Man, gentle mates,
They came up by game looking like they had much more of their game plan back in their heads.
So Man City, as we've said throughout this entire tournament so far, the perennial game planners, they beat greedy goose by just playing their game.
They basically didn't care what their opponents did. It was like, we are going to play very solid. We will have a draw up front in sake of an acro.
We will have a solid midfield slash third man in edge v and that will work and it did. They did that again versus with e-sports.
Two up front, four on the back. Let's see how solid we can be with edge v occasionally popping off.
Now, they're having to really change how they play a little bit more.
They sit in that fourth, fourth, fifth spot in Europe at the moment,
and it's an awkward spot to be in, where the teams above you should be able to beat you,
and the teams below you, you should just be able to play your game plan through.
I'll be intrigued to see what city can change X. I thought they have played spectacularly so far.
Yeah, they look fantastic. They look like a top team in Europe,
deserving of the major spot at this point with five slots for the region but it's not that simple
it's not that easy in this game and the depth of Europe is on display man city looking great but
they need to fight two against the major champs Archie completely flipped the script in game five
took it by the scruff of the neck 10 seconds in opened up the net and I think his teammates
after that completely followed suit followed the pink suits the green suits all the suits but
but they play in pink so I don't really get it.
Still don't get that.
Yeah, not for sure.
It's sort of like a strawberry waltz
but in a situation, you know?
Elaborate.
They're both red slash pink, but then they've also
got green on them.
Ah.
And they still aren't going with that.
A Noah of fruit.
You have a fruitology degree as well?
Do you stumpy goblins?
I'm going to be called a Noah of fruit.
So thank you very much.
who got a Noah on screen of Rocket League.
So hopefully he'll be able to give his boys
a little bit more direction.
The water well on screen, the green suits outside,
the pick suits inside.
Do we see Man City's game plan come to fruition
here in the sixth?
Too required.
Can they get a job done when we find our second game,
seventh of this playoff bracket here, Archie, off the roof.
Gets around that growth.
He lands on it again. He has been an absolute pass down filled a bump as well.
Nasko's low, Nasko's real low.
And Archie has come off the backboard to dunk the defender.
How dare you, Archie, with zero boost, immediately on HB's head.
The guy who we said all he does is sit in his own net.
Farming saves, farming points has decided that he quite likes to look at the other teams,
that instead. Gorgeous play from Archie from the blind spot as well. Did two man city what
Seiko did yesterday. Two gritty goose. Lovely play. One nil for the mates. Wow I mean it's
twice in a row now that Archie has been that guy. What an explosive start off the time
out from man city. They're not worried at all. They're going to keep playing the
the way they did in the previous Akro off the road to himself.
One more pop, anyone on the backboard?
It's gotta be Nass, had to be Nass, and he stepped up.
It's a lovely player with low boost.
He has to get his reset, has to get the double Akro.
The man's a shot him down finally.
Archie attempting that double himself off the ceiling.
In the four minutes, Nass makes it at 3v2.
Seiko can clear it long,
but Nass is attempting a dunk here.
They completely thought how far Akro can go with the ball,
and then this maintained pressure from mates can't continue.
That first man from Gentlemates has to be
the most annoying thing in the world for men.
Because they're sticking around,
if it's not stealing your corner boost,
you're getting removed from the pitch.
They're looking for a fight.
They're looking for a, damn, I was safe,
I almost got over the top of Archie,
fights the touch, back forward,
Nass has to make the read, it's a fake instead.
They're a little bit tangled here, Gentlemates.
The only man with boosts is Archie.
He skims it off the side wall, provides relief.
That's all you need sometimes
is get the relief away from your own half.
Take the ball from the danger zone.
It's a nice clearance between the two players of City.
Archie finds Oskie, back down again.
One thing to be straight on the ceiling.
It wasn't possible, however.
I love that kind of play.
Make it have it be somewhat inconspicuous.
I'm just shooting, then Oskie's there
to have his slant ceiling went.
Yeah, Archie just left the ball second man.
You had that third guy coming in,
and he wanted one more barbie,
at the net even clearer for his teammate. Didn't quite pay off, but it's a playstyle that Jenner
has had shifted and we've got to give some credit to the rock, Snatski, off the timeout. Has got
these guys playing like they're at a major, like they're back in Boston, off the backboard.
Nas, can he find the shot? Seiko has to step up. He stepped up on that occasion,
but they need more for it from him down the other end as well as Edgeby. He's looking for the
touch. Jenner, mate, that defense has been, I mean we talk about the offense,
Stumpy, the defense is just as good as well.
That City have barely been in this orange half so far.
It has been an incredible push to keep it in the blue side of the field.
So hopefully we can see a bit more from City,
but right now it has been all maids until the dunk.
No one there, uncharacteristically, to save an awry ball.
Well, we might have cursed him there.
Nastra, I'd say just hit that high left around the attacker
and that's not going to be getting the job done for general mates last man too risky
so when you want me to laugh and off the kickoff hang on a minute
okay reset saved by Nas and he recovers onto the backboard still forces a double commit
RTA only the hundred in a tank general mates well I mean we'll pop in a much so much and
we do finally see them slip for the first time RTA bit of trouble here shot wide
you know normally in a war and all this firing for the game the ball possession
so where the ball has been is around 55-45 towards one team,
sometimes literally 50-50.
It was briefly then, before that goal went in,
it was 35% possession, Man City,
65% gentlemates in the blue half.
It was only pressure for the mates,
and yet a goal still comes in.
Numbers don't tell the whole story,
but these players are writing as fast as they can
to make sure that they are the victors.
And it's not exiting this blue half any time soon, Oskie off the side while Nass has boost.
He leaves it for Archie, Seiko, all looking to his pop it up, Akro to the side.
He's using boost, but it's just clearing to the corner.
It's just clearing some more gentlemates members.
Oskie chose it on then. He wanted Archie to find the pump.
Probably the first time this game, Archie can't do that.
It's now 30-70. The ball has not left the blue half since I said that number previously.
and it can try and do it. It's another dunk. It's Nass to Archie who can sink the second
and may well send mates to the final. Yeah, cop that. It's 13 shots to four in Archie too,
clinical, easy MVP of game six of Neo Tokyo. Seiko's put up another six saves. Can you get
this man out of net because they need to find a goal? Seiko needs to be the one that's
activated in the offensive factor the issue is even if he's there the ball
probably won't wait going by the numbers final 30 seconds acro to send it long
something needed for city I have to find a bit of magic from perhaps the
former world champion acro makes the save that was nearly game right here
but it still could be 15 seconds left say go up acro to backboard it's me
blocked by oski archie gets demoed for it as well a bit of panic from
And then absolutely send it along.
My Oscar get filming rid of this ball.
Zero seconds do we see magic?
Acro fancy day get Archibald up into that ball.
Nasty towards the ground.
It's been let it go and the gentle mates despite all the pain and effort, blood, sweat and
tears, take down Manchester City and made city looks fantastic as well.
but this channel makes them with 70% of time in 4.5,
70% possession, absolutely made Man City work.
And they get the job done.
It took all of six games, it nearly went seven.
But I don't think Man City could have done much more
given the fact that they were pinned in net
for the majority of the series.
And bear in mind, yeah, like you said, 14 shots to four.
It was nine saves for City, three for Gentlemates, 70% possession in the blue half in favour of the Gentlemates
and yet it was only two on.
Those are the kind of numbers that you see when it's like a 5-0, 6-0 smashing.
It was not that way.
It was a sublime defence from City, and fortunately,
not enough offense to work their way through the Major champs.
Well, Gentlemates have gone from Major champs to not making the top 8 in Europe
to a grand final the next event.
Goodness me, who will join them though?
That's the question.
We've got ninjas in pajamas,
coming called, coming up, after the break.
Oh no, this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the lamp.
Bellets can be a big test
for a young homeowner turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
He said if the garage is full,
they go to the overflow lot.
I heard them, 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 protect your home and auto when you bundle with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We have the red convertible.
It's time you saved it
My own
To the form of dreams
My own
I need time
All in all, it's time to stay in line
And the sun in the sky will give me my light
For now, it's all going on with you
For a good cause, we only need the stars
Man City came out swinging there winning that first game with four goals and then holding
just a one goal game in the next two but after the timeout man things seem to turn around and the
gentlemates are thwarted at the grand finals. I'm joined by Nas again sir congratulations good to
talk to you again I gotta ask about the timeout how did it like what what did Snasky say what
does Snasky use timeouts for when when you guys are in a situation like that?
He mostly used the timeouts for like gameplay stuff or mental stuff if we were not like playing
confident or if we're not comfortable he reminds us of what we do in scrims and the things that work
and they did really well today. What did they use it for today? Was today more of a mental reset or
like a hey we're missing these things on the pitch let's correct these mistakes? Today was mostly
gameplay. I mean man said they were really like the fans and we kind of got a bit greedy to
score a lot and that's why we sometimes over committed and he just let us know
like let's calm it down we we can take our time with the shots and stuff and
yeah. Interesting, the response to a defensive team is hey let's be
passive let's let them push out to us and get them out of the defense it
makes a lot of sense you're a smart guy. I want to ask Championship Sunday, you've
been here a bunch of times do you guys have like pregame rituals do you
have like a thing you're like on Sunday mornings I wake up I eat this
food or I do this thing like what do you do to prepare for Championship Sunday?
On the Sunday we don't do anything like special I think we just come to the office and just like
another day really but I mean for us the semi-finals like the biggest game on the Sunday because
we from the start of the season we always say we won those finals we will always win the finals
if we are in the finals, so I mean hopefully we can win the game today.
Interesting, so it sounds like you had more mental pressure for this match than the one that you're
going to play in a moment. Yes, true. Interesting. Well, hey, I won't take any more of your time.
Good luck in the grand finals. Hope to talk to you again soon afterwards.
Thank you, I appreciate it. All right, so the semifinals are the big hurdle for
gentlemates here, and it makes sense, especially when you're coming in cold,
you guys, like we were talking about before the match with you. If you were coming
coming from an upper bracket.
You didn't get that warm up game in the quarter finals.
So good stuff from gentlemen this year
as they walked through this one cleanly
and put Man City to bed.
I feel like that's a nice way to think about it.
All of the grand finals easy.
We just got to get through the semifinal.
It's kind of just a,
almost like a trophy or something,
but it's a nice space to be in
once you get through that semifinal,
but it's not gonna be that offense.
I don't know how you play against a team
when they just pressuring you,
just constantly and you got Archie,
just sweeping through the net.
That's so annoying.
horrible to play against and the amount that you just see Archie or Nath or Oskie just swiping or
bumping or taking boost or being frustrating or just in some way negatively impacting your life
for the next 45 minutes it's outrageous it's so hard to play against but I mean the individual
level that we saw as well from Seiko in particular we said that we were very well said he did
yes they didn't win the series that is not a negative these are the major champions just had
I was still so impressed by what City put forward and Seiko in particular.
He is having that real upswing at the moment in his career again of, okay, I got kicked.
Let's show you why that was a terrible decision, GK.
And so far it has been a terrible decision.
Man City, another top four, yet more points, looking great for the Paris Major
and still looking decent chances for Worlds too.
Alright, sometimes getting kicked is the best thing that happened to your career.
Wakes you up a little bit and you'll see that former game play
that got you on that roster. You got to kick from in the first place here. Man City, great
results so far in this tournament. They do make the top four here. They'll have to look
to open number six to improve their major points. We've got gentlemates in the grand
finals. Who are they going to play against folks? Carmen core versus ninjas and pajamas
is the next match on the day. Winner gets a shot at the title blue versus green.
This is kind of sort of shop for rebellion colors. Here's, uh, I'm walking the look
of that long blade you mentioned that gee they're looking good in North America as well.
Well let's focus on this second semi-final over here. Casey, well they got through the
corporation war, Stumpy, which was huge after. And now there's got to be question marks on what
on earth vitality we're doing because I love K-DopCop but my goodness Casey handled them
so easily. It felt like they better get out of second gear so I don't know what vitality
you're doing but they are looking hot, needs them pajamas. I feel like we always forget
about these guys. They're inconsistent on the pitch, but they keep getting top twos, and I feel like
we keep underrating them. Is that true? Yeah, I agree. I think the NIP right now, bear in mind,
when you look towards the Paris Major qualifying points, they're sitting around that second spot.
In fourth for the world's qualifying spots, quite handily. They are a top four team in
Europe, which is incredibly hard regions breaking to the top four. But I mean,
I mean, on the other side of things, have they had a particularly hard run aside from that vitality series
against a vitality who clearly were not necessarily playing to their top level after getting beat by KDC?
They've beaten Toad in the Hole, they've beaten Vitality, great win, yes in a vacuum, but in the rest of the competition, I don't know.
And then K.D.Core beat them, and then they managed to go through Whip Esports, who didn't then make it through any of the series once qualified.
This is their first big challenge and KC are looking a lot better today considerably better today after their messy messy Saturday
Well chat let us know who you think is gonna win in the progressive fan vote
Hashtag NIP for ninjas with Thomas has to KC for Carmen core. They're getting ready to go
They're ready for the grand finals and we heard it from mass semi-finals is the biggest part of Sunday
I wouldn't be surprised if that mentality carries over to all the other teams
So for both these teams, this is going to be the big test of today to set themselves up for that final top two battle gentlemen
Who do we things got it? I'm not I'm not confident. I know which way we're going here
Well, Stumpy just sounds like an interesting pajamas hater
Thank you to have anyone that's late Stumpy
This is a rematch from the last semi-final from the last event and at when seven and
and NIP got the chocolates and I think that they're going to be eating pretty good after this one again.
Give me an interesting pyjamas. I think they go back to back in this semi-final and make another
grand final here in Europe. Just because I'm no longer their team streamer does not mean that I'm
an NIP hater. Was it a bitter ending or something? It just feels like you're a bit,
you just got a bit of distaste to NIP. It was not a bitter breakup, okay? It was mutual,
I don't know. Okay. It wasn't
me. It was them. I don't know.
And he has also a stumpy hater
apparently apparently. Um I
would go here for calming
group, though the way that they
play today impressed me a lot.
They still work that they can
do. I still don't think why
it means that are at their
top level. Don't get me wrong.
It's hard then to look at
Nip because again, the team
that beat is brilliant. The
current champions, but it's
vitality. Then didn't make it
of them in general. I'm gonna have to go with KZ here. I don't think the tier has stayed down for long.
I think if if it was reversed here and it was the carming course yesterday in semifinals and
nip had just come off of a win in the quarterfinals, I think I'd probably be going nip on this one. But
I think that carming core having a bit of a warm up being able to get into gear even if it was a
sweep. I think it's probably the edge they need. Give me karmic core on this one. The blue
wall is going to be the favorite on the desk, but narrowly and narrowly in chat too. One of
One of the narrowest margins we've seen for the blue wall in a fan vote.
I had a long time here folks.
So this could go either way.
How do the Ninjas of Pajamas choose to take on the Azurian fortress here?
I'm excited to see who gets to take on the gentlemates in the grand finals.
It's all about the semi-finals though.
Four games separate them from victory and glory.
Carmichord versus Ninjas of Pajamas.
It's on Chevy's field to separate these two teams just two weeks ago.
But with a gentleman's wing in the grand finals, there can only be one to try and take the fight to them.
Is it going to be a second of a shitty for Ministers and Majarmers?
Or as we get into game one brought to by Progressive,
will Carmenclaw return to the top of the throne?
Gibbs, let's get to it.
I'm excited. I feel like this match, truly a coin flip.
Last time they played it left the Champions field.
They scored exactly the same amount of goals last time.
K-Karp had three more shots. That was the only difference.
But K-Karp also way more demo happy,
including in this tournament they are number one in demos and they don't take demos a lot so see if the physical play
Can make cake work come out on top this time around over this
And this will be a big statement as well for news of a job as if they win this because it now puts them back to back grand finals
That's not that's a trend at that point that you say no you can skip around as to who our opponents are gonna be
But we are a threat to win events if you're a threat to a European events you're a threat to win every event
as Atto tries to find his way through, doesn't have the boost.
The tier also very low boost, still tries to put something on target.
For KC though, it's all about just getting rid of the worrying trend that they've got.
Obviously slowly slipping down the rankings, they need a return of grand finals.
Yeah, we talk about, you know, team trying to get some back-to-back grand finals,
but K-pop gets to every grand finals, and then all of a sudden, they're not.
So it's like they want to get back on top of one of the top dogs, entering into Paris.
There's still one more open as well the cake or chest are trying to figure things out and they have easier match earlier today
But they got the job done and way point says that's a warm-up, but it open for it
It was the same situation cake or an easy match early on and ninjas were waiting for them
But with that ninjas came out on top
Sarah's got to wait for juicy touch Sarah still chasing the third different
regional starting position to Gunga Wynne, he's got one in South America, he's won a regional over in North America
that's another one in Europe which is something a bit odd for him considering
where he started but I guess it's much more difficult as that so it's not going to get a good touch
and that's what it does provide
and maybe that's why he moved, he couldn't have been in Europe so he moved for a little bit
got some flowers and now returns back and trying to do it here
Here we are.
I've been so incredibly so fast on the field and when he's in the air, he is still in the
field.
Watch out for him, but all of them just don't, but they're offensive, crowded, so watch out
for them, because if they get going, it's going to be scary.
Here's an infield pass, and Zorius, who's the lazer, the material, follows it the
whole way and gets the fire.
Oh, that's been a nothing challenge, yes.
That's a little at least because of the pieces.
Zorius is on his way.
Sierra, just make sure to meet it.
Sierra, who has been the most consistent player for KC during this event,
carrying in the bed there, they haven't needed him.
Sierra, I consider his gang rotation right now,
and I'd be very comfortable with the position they are.
What?
Sierra, you may have overplayed this,
because he's back forward way before this has even hit.
Yeah, he had a drop.
Wow, yeah, that is a misplay by CRR.
Yeah, she drives way to the left as well.
So it took a little detour on that back wall,
and a free goal is given up after Ninkus
had so much off of the pressure.
Reminds her, everybody. Do not go backboard immediately.
You've got to give yourself some options
as Ollie's going to look to try and turn over in.
Not quite going to get it.
Miss play, however, and Juicy bales the mouth
back into the midfield as Casey almost let that lead
slip through their fingers.
And KC again, they are a very demo happy team, but if they play all this defense, it's gonna be very difficult to get that go-in.
So Nidz is with Jammus trying to keep control of this ball in the blue side, just can't make these mistakes on the counter-attack.
And the CRR's low boost, so he's not gonna take it.
My spot there from the tier, I'm realizing that Jarius was trying to make into the side wall before he took their heads.
So, just put it into the middle of the field a little bit more, don't make it too easy on the Dutchman.
And the T-R-R had a boost, he won that war against C-R-R who was going for trying to keep them locked into their head
but instead, you see Jaker moving on more than awkward from Ninjas and Pajamas
but it's so awkward no one reads it and they get away free.
He's only from the lobbyist life.
It's gonna be a good start from him.
Look at those very strange moments here from Ninjas and Pajamas, they're gonna get rid of those.
And for as good as they have been, you know,
oh, come on, stop them early.
If they had this during the grand finals two weeks ago,
where out of nowhere, they just switched off.
Yeah, can't let this happen again.
They can't let me have a problem.
Jarius has made problems for KC.
And this is what happened.
You have all this offensive pressure.
Eventually, you'll get a challenge going away.
Jarius off the wall, recover so cleanly
against the dunk.
That's what the Ninjas were trying to do for so long.
Keep the ball in the blue air, win that all important challenge and brawl that off.
Yeah, they have looked like a better team throughout this, so they would have felt pretty bad.
And they lost this one now.
And now it's time though, Jarius does not take the invitations, T.R.R. goes early.
A couple of chain dashes across the wall, doesn't find juices, come on the ball.
Hopes out here again, we're not talking for everybody, and I think that T.R.R. just called his teammate off.
Back to the midfield, launch long.
And I'd be looking great and then looking very very wobbly occasion
We're gonna see what is going to be the root cause of the game winning goals
We're heading into the final few of this match. Hey, I took about the warm-ups. That's where like game one
It's a little bit awkward for ninjas. They should correct that throughout the series
But they're still in this one as well with all that pressure now CR's gonna die forward
But as though with a great clear around to to relieve some pressure
Odie has an opportunity, he goes low on one.
Can he go for the flip?
He's at the edge right full.
Doesn't amount to too much error.
Does get the pass out as he gets.
But will they keep the ball up?
They stop.
And we'll go to the top.
Big opportunity to set the standard
for this Grand Finals.
Odie's missed it.
So, but Sierra's got an opportunity.
How does he choose the player?
It's the bread and butter.
The edge of the bump.
Seriously, couldn't quite pinch that against the crossbar, but there's another wherefiz, only almost handed it to the oncoming Atto!
Ninjas have to be happy if they're not playing a lot of defense, could ever send their back to Airsoft, where Jorias has a chance here on the counter, can't get it, CRRs.
Now we'll go for D. Field fast, gonna play it slow, because if he makes that double down, Jorias doesn't have to lose at the time.
So Ninjas, just again, trying to control it on the blue side of the field and wait for their moment.
Jorius, instead of trying to follow against Dato, who just pops it over the top of him, now Jorish it again, redirects.
That's the most uncomfortable, but the Terran did not react all that quickly.
The Profoto got there a touch earlier.
That's a very awkward position. That's difficult to not overhear that one.
Now he's on the other way. Look for a block shot!
And Juicy just had enough muscle to keep it out of danger.
That was so good by Ole, like he was offered on defense, but he made it work as the counter.
Now he's got a chance at a shot, he throws it a bit high, can't get the ball off the back wall.
C.R.R., now with zero boost, he's back, he finally gets the corner.
Will it be a pass to Vittura?
He's waiting, but he gets beat out hard by Jorius.
C.R.R. and Jorius hit the ball.
Ole has it up for C, but Juicy comes back, makes it safe, but Jorius finds the bottom left corner.
and near to the pyjamas with all the stakes at the event,
the offer to pressure was too much, and they get to game one.
That bomb probably juicy had it covered.
He knew exactly where this ball was going,
but a slight little push just took him out of the angle.
And NIP, well, they don't have to worry
about that earlier mistake from CRR anymore
because they went ahead and won it,
and that's actually not a bigger worry for Casey
because for long periods of time, they were chasing.
Yes, 5 shots from JC, 16 for Ninjas, Info's Jammas, and honestly the only reason why I think this was trying to quote was because if Ninjas and Jammas are very awkward on defense, like, three times in a flash, so if that doesn't happen, this could have been a lot worse.
Info and Jammas were feeling in full control if they fixed their issues on them.
I mean, it's great to see obviously, these are not new players, they have been around
for a while, but it's great to see an evidence, fighting for tournament wins here again, obviously
a very rich, Jeffrey, all players over there.
Spain, it's been like a nearly country for a very, very long time.
A couple of players poking their heads around saying, oh, I might consider being right
up there, but it's been a struggle at times.
are though looking to try and break that trend against well a very very french organization and
maybe it's the time maybe we had basically a full year and a half where it was just or maybe
just friends point where it was just cake always dude and it was usually k-karp it was french but
usually k-karp was winning everything so ninjas and pajamas is just they're looking to trying
Like, like that's certainly looking upset, but just trying to make the parody conversation even deeper in here.
Yeah, I mean, in a lot of English players, well it's wasn't top, honestly, but I've noticed in that one, we caught a couple of them playing very very well.
But right now, these are the teams looking to try and take it the whole way.
You see, towards the wall, great to lay on his original play.
Oh, J-Jump, what a covering, because there's no way CRO was expecting to be needed.
Vigilipajama's half to fix these defensive issues though, they are getting away with murder at times.
We'll see J.K.R. finally pushing forward, get those bumps that we know that they can do.
But again, Vigilipajama's flying away at...
Very delayed challenge for you guys.
There might be a nice plate too much defense, but it's heart-stopping every single time that they are.
It feels like when you're very biased towards one team and you just feel like it's absconding
that they're going to concede.
Oh my goodness, Sierra!
That is a fantastic rotation back.
Yeah, don't go wide with it.
Just cut through the middle.
I'm loving his way of defending right now, which is I'm going to take the path that
the striking player is going to take.
I'm just going to shoot really badly.
Doing a great job to recover for his teammates on defense as well as time.
So there are holding things together for ninjas right now, but finally we're seeing the ball on the orange part of the field
Way more often than in the game two here
Okay purpose trying to get Bump happy at some point, but the bumps come out of both of us
Only three jumps twice significantly there as well. That's a bit disrespectful
That's who's on his way. Only back of that by far the faster players. Come on boost skills happening as well
Jesus got to be very careful
We're up on the cut across. I'll just whips it. That would have been an incredible pass. He's trying to fling it in, feeling off a near impossible contact.
Me too, going to the top. We've got a random, you guys can't see it. We've got a random quick shot from CRR here. I think we've all been there.
Up the fucking slips. It goes for the D-pad.
Not only that, you did that in the sense of my bad.
He's got time for that.
Added 1x1 into CRR with the flicked up.
We'll get it downfield.
Doris and Ole are waiting.
Ole, full of awkwardness.
Take his time, though, with the power shot
top left corner.
Jess White, CRR, will follow it up.
Not a lot of boost with KC, except for Juicy.
Makes the play.
Out to Viterra on the counter.
Doris cannot get back in time.
No boost, no problem for KC to get it out.
Juicy, 0-but-2 with Sierra.
Now, we're going to start looking out for something, because Vatira is on 900 and 99 goals.
The next one is a thousand Gibbs.
And we could see it in this game.
It could happen right here off the kingdom, man.
He starts...
We really want it, Vatira. We want...
During his office, that is ridiculous.
I'm at a parallel CS course.
Yep.
I'm going to look for, I'm going to be shocked if he doesn't get it during this series.
And here he comes. Is it the one? Oh, Jorius. Make sure that it's not happening just yet.
Juicy cuts back across off the backboard. Butirra on the rotation back because Atto is by himself.
Nice little turnaround. Make sure he's not above target. Butirra on the slow play.
CRR, zero boost. Butirra to Juicy. A thousand can wait another day. Two little can wait for no longer.
There's the bomb place coming out of Ato, going hunting, opens up the entire field tier.
Ours in the back was that because Ato was looking for him as well.
So it opens up the entire offense of the part of the field.
And Casey, looking good so far in game two.
And they've played so much offense.
Does not look anything like what we had in game number one.
CRR looking for the pass.
Charis has come so early!
But he's not the leader at all!
Maybe they haven't played a lot of offense, but it don't matter when you pre-jump like
this.
CRR put them in a detour, he's ready, CRR to put that on his bumper is fantastic, he can
draw his bow, positional masterclass, they only have three shots, but they get the goal.
NIP's response is just go earlier, alright?
They're faster than us, start pre-jumping.
CRR on the way up.
There is actually a choosy here, CRR's gone immediately for the backboard, oh he's
Oh, that's just becoming it!
Jorius, top bends, two goals in no time at all!
After all the offense by KC, now it's in this turn.
They send all three, they send the house.
Jorius, another great shot location there.
Top right corner.
And just like that, we're tied up again.
They're so awkward.
They're expecting Sierrata.
Maybe drop that ball a little bit earlier.
Oli takes the reset and get it past Juicy.
Riding Culp of Scenery disappeared and it's another air dribble this time for Ciara.
So, I think he might actually be a little bit happy he didn't catch anything else there
because that could have been very bad for him.
Oli by himself, Juicy.
What the bounce for everybody?
Oli decides to leave it and why wouldn't he have Ciara as going to produce what
he did last time.
Now looking to cook up yet again, he's gone early for Ciara to laze.
He's done one enough because he needs to cavalry back in position.
Juicy is back, should be able to get the clear there, nothing too threatened.
And he's got a lot of move as well to move it upfield, trying to get the infield pass.
A little bit of a heavy touch, so he just will push it out.
Oh, low. That feels also low in the bump.
So Juicy can't just swipe that ball back out.
Sierra should take this with the numbers that he's got.
All the demos coming out fireworks on the field, but juicy comes out alone
Does not win the challenge now, but here's gonna throw a tee from the courts here
I'm gonna get a big clear but I still is there. He's got boost. He's got time cannot get the touchy monster choice
to the side. Nice challenge. They're heading towards no T and let's
we've got Axo! Crossbar! Follow from Batira! Winning straight here at the Devo!
No gets him down to Juicy! Can't get there in time! And we have overtime!
All important overtime here for K-Corp, the Tigers series, nothing to score up to.
It's gonna be tough. Come back, Batira's got an opportunity, but only turns it away.
It makes that midfield boost as well.
The fake on one, the challenge on another.
Xerar's got the open shot a little bit weak though, but Xerar,
serves it to the side.
Oh, glare. Oh, he's got to go low because Juicy almost found the dunk.
Xerar, shreds the path of the Xerar.
Holy, goes for it.
Because he's got Xerar crossbar again!
It works for both teams.
The woodworks, the MVP he gave to you so far,
and we continue in this overtime.
Atto. Good outpace. He's got Fertira looking to try and stand him up. I think he won the back pass to Juicy, just couldn't quite find the angle.
Jorius looking for an angle of his own. CRR doesn't have it. So instead, only backboard. Where's the full of CRR's late?
And Jorius will just restate and go again.
Jorius goes deep to CRR's wing. No field, nothing to it. Fertira with the joint pass to Atto.
Atto can not get the bubble only though so the tears got a hustle back and make the play
He does so well and gets who's gonna power this into the corner look for the infield
He does get it there, but only
Norris dumped juicy off the backboard here comes the turn no he's chosen not to my cell
He's up against only who's gone for the car
Victory for the gentleman
Great counter here, but here it is left on the island by himself, always like I'm gonna do both the shot and the ball, I don't need my teammate, takes the 1v1 spot.
And that is Nidgis Bajamas up 2-0 and that is a cake work.
It's gotta be. That game got swiped off that plate. They were the better team for so long.
And then just two goals from Jorius back to back out of nothing really.
And KC, on themselves losing games that they feel like they should have won.
Yeah, that first half of the game, they had tons of play opportunities on offense.
They were looking to get up to nothing, and all of a sudden, that team just often
often woke up again and they were getting a lot more pressure again.
Inches out, shoot, gamecorked by one this time.
And a lot of that was the backhand and overtime.
Oh, I'm just not talking to each other KC.
They've already got one loss in the last two weeks to NIP.
That was a 4-3.
It keeps going like this. They won't even see Champions Field.
I'm in court and I've got to find something right now.
I don't know that first goal. I mean the way the momentum shifted. I can't even have a go at KC for that
How on earth are you supposed to expect a pre-jump that early?
These guys are good, you know these guys are getting good at rock with these pre-jumps. It's it's a pleasure to watch
It's also a pleasure to watch Europe just be again more about parody
It was always K-Corp dominating everything wouldn't like five opens out of six
But now they got to work for it and every team's got to work for it and right now Nijima and Pajamas look like the better team.
These guys have lost two Grand Finals I believe and at the four open so far and they don't have a regional win yet.
They desperately want their first year.
I feel like this is their opportunity.
coming up. We're still looking
for 1000 for the tear. I'm
expecting to see 1000 spammed
everywhere. Once that goes in.
I want to win to go along with
that. We know that. He's been
that he's done it. He's won
everything. But the big one but
the one that he wants the
most and it's all about being
the best team heading into the
maybe not this time around, but still. Yeah, they wanted to went to a grand finals.
They're the ones that won two weeks ago. They've got gentlemates.
Yeah, that's a team that did win the major finals and also despite a bad result,
two weeks ago, are in the grand finals this time around.
So the KC, it's now try and put the momentum back together.
They got to find it now. Game three, the all important one here to get back into this match.
If you go down through, you know, it is going to be very, very difficult, especially against the Ninjas in the Dama Team where their offense is so good, that they'll very likely find one game somewhere along the way.
Well, see what they got. I feel like K-Karp, they want to go for more of a demo heavy playstyle, but they just can't get the ball to the offensive part of the field too often.
Being clear is like that, my joy is to have to have a game for Ninjas to relieve that pressure.
As we get a first up shot, he's got low.
Only opens up the scoring.
And the NIP, they're already rocking and rolling.
And this is, again, being cleared by Jorius,
opens up a challenge on the offensive side,
turns it to a great pass off the back wall,
and only secures the goal.
This is why you want the ball on the offensive side,
because if you get that challenge to spill out somewhere great,
you can capitalize on it.
It is a pajamas.
to dominate this match and go up 3-0.
Oh, they touched that from all the way.
Wait a second.
And there it goes, Colts!
Turn-L!
Oh, this one's rough.
They go for the aerial.
Bump play with Matira only does so well there to read it.
And it turns into a pass to Jorius.
K-Crux set the house, because it looked so incredibly good.
But instead, Jorius hits the wide open net.
They just keep getting this.
I think this is the big difference.
We saw KamiCorp against KatoCorp earlier on as Ato is trying to create something.
But KatoCorp could not get out of their own side of field.
No matter where they tried to send the ball, KamiCorp had it covered.
But for Nidgid's and Pajamas, they had the ball stuck in their side of the field
and it just seems so easy for them to escape.
Double tap, Ciara!
And this is a runaway game!
Again, if you make a mistake when you're on defense, you get scored on
And there it is, another challenge comes out early by only CRR capitalizes.
The game is all about being on the offensive side of the field and
force a mistake out, and you can secure a goal.
Well done by Ninjas, absolutely dominating.
That's how much you're trying to find something here.
Three goal comebacks are very rare.
Four goal comebacks are more or less unheard of.
Slowly off the side, here comes Jorius.
They're trying to just hold on for dear life
to keep the pulse going at the moment,
but KC are being annihilated in game three.
Apto just powers it.
Jorius straight to the backboard.
Can't take it.
Doesn't play like the recent he was after.
Still does very well indeed.
Apto has a little space here.
The flip reset shot, oh my goodness.
Well just enough of a tear of fight away.
That is cool.
Number 1,000.
And you'd be wishing he could celebrate a lot more.
He's got number 1,000.
Now he needs two more.
He needs 1,002 just to get his team back into this game.
Huge accomplishment, though, for Batira.
Congrats to him.
Only Monkey Moon has 1,000.
Before hand, he may almost get another one off
of the kickoff, but congrats to him.
A fantastic career, and we expect many, many more.
Oh, but Tiro tries to fake, he's quite really nice.
Vengeant Pajamas, their defense.
So much improved compared to how they started.
Really, I think they could have gone down too much,
given that they almost considered off every single play
that they were defending during.
But experience has grown, and then a lot better.
But this at-so-backboard looks for the double!
Oh, my goodness!
Jorius was in the one spot that could possibly stop it.
Great save by Jorius.
Just at the end of the goal line in Hope,
and he's very fortunate to be in the right place
at the right time.
Now he's got a chance of the challenge.
Here are redirects in a way in such a perfect spot too,
which is glued to the back wall.
So K-Corp can't get an infield pass out of it.
And another great save that's glued to the back wall again.
Oh, so after, who goes for the ceiling?
Juicy's very low.
And this is worrying here, because K-Corp
in this position, only in particular, very good at safe
passes.
Just seems to spot somebody.
I always have to just trust one of us only that fake challenge. Yes, I'm not gonna look this time around
Booming Clare with Sierra
Must go early. You see takes control on the reset. Will he go the whole way look for a secondary set?
They're running outside here, but Casey game or more of a turn it's
He's close, Sarah!
Oh, Terry May!
Oh, that is not what you offer, Ninjas.
You're trying to bleed out this clock.
This should never happen.
That's going across the net.
Sierra tries to flip away from it, just wrong play.
Look at her play here.
Wrong time, man.
Oh, boy.
K-Corn, right back in it.
Well, those three goals are better.
And it's almost completely disappeared.
And it's disappeared with plenty of time for coming,
Korn.
But Tira on the turn, Jorius, he's caught out, he's demo'd, the opportunity, holy slow, and it's still too high!
Where's the follow from Atzo?
And we're all tied up, K-Corp finds a way back, Juicy actually got bumped a bit by CRR, that's why that ball goes a bit high.
But Atzo is there to finish.
Three goals down, no problem for K-Corp, they tied up.
Unbelievable. It was as bad a situation as you can ever imagine and three gold comebacks at this level do not happen.
And they don't happen with a man up still on the clock.
But the job is not done yet. Keeper still has to find a way to win this game.
They are going to kill him serious. A mistake on defense by Ninjas, but they get away with it.
CRR gets in here only he drops early juicy that will throw it again and
inches are desperate to get this ball out.
Ninja and pyjamas just the moment they have to defend are hitting every single
button possible needs to just try and guide this one away but coming up I've
got all of the momentum right now so type challenges Jarius alone for only
he's low on boost goes for a low challenge as well see them in times we
can get low into this sentence as everybody's missed it.
CRR can now take that 100, tries to turn,
surprising go to the ball for an outplay.
But it's still all NIP.
They've got their opportunity.
The first time they've seen the blue side of them so long.
And I hope they enjoy that, but that one's wide.
Juicy almost hits the open net.
Wasn't expecting it to be open, but the devils are coming out.
And Ato is hunting.
Juicy, another great challenge win on the side wall.
CRR cannot get the clear.
The pressure is on.
Atto going for the center, turned a wedge, but Juicy 100 boost and a dream.
CRR meets him on the wall, gonna try and kill this down to zero because Ninjas have done his thing to reset.
Maybe not, we have Jordan's flip reset, but Tira puts it on the ground, we got overtime.
This is now crucial for KC. They can get this, the momentum shifts so much.
But Atto, it's over the top of him, Juicy realizes that he's not trying to pounce on that one.
You know, R just always seems to get something extra.
You think he's out of the play, gets an extra touch.
Sometimes they result in own goals,
but hey, you know, you can't complain about everything.
Only goes long, and can everyone actually get to this?
That's a certainly can.
A little bit of space there.
Now, Atto's got a chance to get
some notorious attacks early in.
It was a smart call from Hampton,
turning away from Tira, the pass to Juicy,
and K-Cord, steal game three.
from nothing it was so smooth it was so comfortable you had it in the bag and
coming for any series that they were as good as our home are now within a single
game oh my goodness gives I I had not seen something like that a while and
And not only that, it all began on the goal number 1000 for Vatira.
We thought it was the matter.
It was going to be a game lost, but no, that was the spark.
We're going from a game to forget to a game to forever remember.
I scored number 1000 and led my team to a three goal comeback.
This brings various welcomes that we see those comebacks happen,
but we get the OT and then the other team wins anyway.
We still get the OT very often.
Not this time, they see all across the line.
And this would have been one of the few times when I would say,
it just maybe should have been a full time out here.
Because that was a bad loss.
And I know we don't normally do it after one game loss,
but this felt like a situation.
We saw the young goal by CRR, the three goal lead collapsed,
and they allowed K-Corp.
And of all teams, like the final boss K-Corp,
to get back into this match is not what you want.
game. So game four in a series
I can't believe there's
suddenly become this close. Is
that idea to not take the time
out about going by them because
if Casey come ahead and win this
series, it will all go back to
one point. We'll start off
with the home calls and we've
obviously got number 1000
Goal number 1001, Batira is trying to mount the comeback for his team, Ato does so well
here, great first touch, the flip reset in field, pass, and K-Corp, all of a sudden,
has all the momentum.
Batira's, I mean Ato's patience, so not use the reset earlier, he just allowed
NIP to go early, to misposition themselves.
NIP is struggling to find any consistency on defense.
Moving clear here from Jorius.
See where to set up reasons, given only the power clear.
That clock casey out.
Okay, that's fine-ish kind of different event.
And only we'll do exactly that.
NIP, just deal with something normally.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's happening on the event.
Jory's with the Imperial Pass,
but it's a little too tight for CRR to move up field.
So Juicy will get the clear.
Only great spot for him, though,
tries to control, gets a bump for his efforts.
Sierra hunted, trying for that ultimate challenge.
Ato gets that challenge.
CRR, though, full boost.
Juicy will get this clear.
Does so pretty well.
Great first touch from Juicy.
Like every buff, the shots could not have done better.
Juicy one touch two touch two goes to nothing. I just don't understand where only it's driving to he doesn't have any boost
CRR does enough to just make it be neutral in the midfield
But he's just following way too closely this gives up a wide open net
Nings and pajamas even though they were up earlier in the series their defense of worlds are having always got a chance off the
Brother. Wow. Ato clears it. Oh my goodness. It's all going against them now
Wow, Atto an unbelievable stop, and the ball plays so so good, and I pin off Benz, S-Tier,
and I pin D-Fence, not bad.
And only needed this one there for that big mistake, and then also the crossbar shot,
he gets it right back, and it's a one goal game with plenty on the bottom.
He's going up, this is one of the least predictable series from moment to moment.
Oh, yeah, Max.
So who's got the momentum?
Who's even playing well?
I ain't got a clue, but I'm loving finding out.
CRR, on his way, tries to chop it after the demo,
and I think the call has come through from NIP.
If we're not getting to the ball, we can't hit the ball.
At least make sure we hit the player.
Getting very physical on offense now.
Just about like defense.
We're just going to make sure they clean that up.
Now Ato's hunted yet again.
CRR with no boost.
Trying to make it to that safe.
Didn't need to.
Holy, does well, follow up with Torius.
No boost over here, every time I see I've got some.
And now I'm the other one, that's beautiful.
Perfect timing.
If only he knew, if only there was a way to tell these days.
Holy always underneath one, juicy by himself.
And he goes early, he realized the 2v1 was starting to develop.
Now he lives for the outplay, tries to get the block, up comes Metira, another block, ato.
Realizes that the shot on target isn't breathing there.
If he takes it, his team's probably caught over committing, so let's just play in the corner.
Skateboard again was both on the orange half, a lot throughout this game.
Indis finally get it clear with a demo choice, hunting for another one so the tears get back just in time.
A scarif answer is pure B.
It's the era. My bull doesn't really go anywhere for him, but sometimes the slight misplays are the best things you can do.
But what pace there from Jorias just don't look quick enough. This has been a real problem for NIP.
That was an open map, but Sierra had his Scout at great stall.
And Ato's been a real pain for Nidus as well.
He had come to demos, that was the passive, but you see who fakes it early.
He just keeps the pressure up, he was blocked.
But Ato's been hunted for these demos.
Known to be the number one demo in all of Europe and showing it here in this match.
Stories though, double tech is turned away by Sierra.
Ato fakes the clear all safe and only is there.
Not to tell at the moment, but we'll get it out of the deck.
Yeah.
If there are once the 50, only you can turn.
Very awkward for everybody, but also not in a strikeable spot for NIP.
He was still in a goal.
80 seconds left here in game number four.
Say how we want them to set a timeout.
Oh, is that so?
Nothing very nice, indeed, and juicy for whatever reason.
It's actually in the midfield.
He's been bombed!
Can't help him!
We talked about earlier in this match a little lucky for ninjas that time so now we get a
little look at the K-Corps on Juicy gets bumped into the ball but he still finds a way to
get that extra touch anyway over the last defender and K-Corp look at the times here.
It's one of those games, man. Once luck seems to leave you, it leaves you very thoroughly.
NIP, just not having anything go their way at the moment.
That's a, I'm looking to try and I was going to say, ah, breach, but I don't trust a three-core lead at the moment.
We're going to have to go to four. How does that sound?
Yeah, haha. With a little, with a little left, I'll take three.
The tier is trying to do it. Here it is!
So a brilliant flip we set shot by him.
K-Korn, it's been all damn over these last ten minutes.
start thinking about it again so it's so rare you take a time out after one game
but if there was a game that might have been the one just five minutes ago
coming court from two games down and three goals down are about to tie this
series up never get rid of these guys as juicy almost got that number four
all right well there's no way they're still trouble
Oh, okay, that's what I expected in the open goal.
The half-minute left, King Corpus is going to look to play some quarter ball and make sure that the clock gets led dry here.
But Tira, though, after that double flip reset goal, like he's feeling it as well, all the King is feeling it.
No, don't.
But, no, why don't you say it, yes, the curse.
No, it's not happening.
It's just, no, they won't do it again.
We've reached the quota for goofy moments, all right?
There is no way NIP are getting something off this kickoff.
Okay, they're actually not.
That's great, I feel so bad.
Holy, we're gonna have to play a little bit of defense
as we at least get something.
NIP needed just some sort of possession,
but time is gonna take away.
And two games apiece.
Surely the timeout is coming.
It has to right it's like at this point
Maybe they're just talking the timeout down when the ball stays up at zero get a little bonus timeout time here
But for ninjas they got a figure out something at this point
It's like the key for the blue. Oh, by the way, zero are something absolutely none of the heads
Smart, you know, it's like hey, I'm gonna take my time out right now. I'm ready to call it
Jorius does call the timeout because the team
and just like that we were expecting the series to be 3-0 but can't work out the three goal come back in now they win this one pretty
convincingly. Yeah all square. Juicing after playing so much better. This is the
Juicing after that we were seeing at the very start of the season when Casey looked like a runaway best.
now it's about reestablishing
it and it has been difficult for
coming co-op teams to to do that
it does feel like they start seasons
off incredibly well and then once the
wheels start to come off they don't
really find a way to put them back on
well the wheels came off in this series games
and maybe it's a great metaphor for their season
as a whole because they're playing good
they are, we saw an act of nine demos
in this game all he was doing was
hunting for players, still had two assists as well
Well, so still had time to actually put some score on the board for his team.
But Hathaway is hungry for the demos.
He got again nine in this game.
You did your case.
You actually win this event.
You just never use their, uh, their place ever again.
Roy, I hope at the moment, maybe this is the secret sauce.
And we know Rockley players, if anything, love a plus.
Oh, yeah.
have we got heavy facility bug?
My decal was the raw shade of orange,
so I was a little bit slower.
So maybe why we get so many team name changes over here.
My team name was heavy.
I ate a great toad in the hole the other day,
so that's the team name.
All right, here we go.
Still very annoyed that that team did not call themselves
full English breakfast.
It was right there as a full English team,
and instead toad in the hole.
30 seconds before we cast ourselves into game number five.
And can NIP, I mean, this is a ridiculously difficult team talk
you've got to give here because it's when the vibes would have been so good.
And now they are so bad and you've got to just get everybody's head back into it.
It really comes down to it just feels like whoever has possession more
like where the balls on the other side of the field is going to determine everything
because when it's on the other side of the field for Ninjas playing defense,
One of their defenses has been offered, but anytime that ball's over there,
that Ajo is hunting for demos to try and make even more chaos.
But when Nidgison is one of the best team-time offense in the world,
so if they can hold it, then they can make something happen.
So we'll see about the midfield challenge game.
We'll see who wins it here, and see if they take the all-important game five.
And when do NIP decide, okay, but the answer to our problems is more pre-jump?
Yeah.
Very likely! Very possible!
He puts you on a team with CRR and that's speaking of which, tries to set up Oli.
Goes back more, but Juicy will be just fine dealing with that one.
Jorius however, with Sierra and Blues cannot.
Now it's up to the wall, looking for the player.
Gets a little bit of CRR, but not enough.
Oli will get the flick out, Juicy will clear it safely into his own back.
But Jorius takes it away from him, almost gets our free goal out of nothing.
Clips to the wall, Oli.
Nice catch from him, to the ceiling, drops it down for Jorius!
who just wasn't quick enough. Not enough pre-jump there, Jorius! Time to get that fixed!
Only though, somehow Winsor's gonna try to put it midfield on the back. There it is! Pre-jump!
That's the right amount of pre-jump! There we go, Jorius! Get that fixed! He's already there!
We need to add Ninjas and Majama's coach to Shogun's resume.
He coughs in the breach up and he gets it.
Jorius with the gold ninjas.
A lot of offensive pressure here to begin this game and it pays off.
Sierra, oh wow.
I don't think he expected anything of that second touch.
Ato, you lose far as Jorius.
Juicy can turn, chooses instead to lead at full for Sierra.
Slow play here from him.
He knows he's got time.
Oh, not anymore, he's not.
But nobody really capitalized.
MIP.
Very willing to just see that ball coming towards them take their time only takes a time for 100 boost
I'm also is a bit messy over in that corner. It's also so difficult to create offensive chances. Yeah, NIP will not be too worried
Yeah, when the ball is not moving in that corner
The only thing that can go wrong is a cute you go for a challenge and the ball just comes out
It's to the midfield but right here gives another pass
that Seron throws up to RK, but Batira is waiting in that bottom left corner, only though attacks
that corner get again, Jorius up early gets the demo, Batira loses it, Seron is Jorius,
but Ato is there.
This has been a much higher quality game from everybody, there's so many good decisions
being made.
Good vision, I feel like the execution is also a lot higher from everybody.
Bully, good pop from him, looks to the tier who's pre-jumped the block.
That seems to have been the deciding factor so far.
That needs some help and it certainly did.
Joris has got some time.
That was awkward.
What the last position you want that ball to be landing and Joris didn't just walk by.
Bully around 1, can you get around 2? He does so, but Ato is there yet again.
He's a great third man so far in this match.
Zerah powers it, the Jorius.
Gonna heat check from Iversee.
Why not? There's been mistakes galore.
That's why I'm trying to see if there's gonna be a freebie around,
but there is time to get away here for KC.
We'll write them out any game at the moment.
And Zerah just gonna take control of it.
He's low boost, he wants a 15.
Nobody's gonna oblige.
That's a big diving from him.
Opportunity! Another big diving!
KC will not give up, but Zerah sticks with it!
Now to Juicy. Reset. What's going on? Not going to work.
That's us by himself, but should be okay,
depending on how that goes.
Does well enough and see how.
Laverie gets bumped down, but still finds a way back to the ball
and also go for that midfield challenge.
It goes back to the tiers of KC,
through the great job, controlled the base,
controlled possession, but it is on their back half.
They do possession, but one wrong challenge could come.
Zerah, which was the ceiling, gets the ceiling!
Oh my goodness, what a read from Juicy!
Knew exactly where Zerah might be required again!
They're all going to get to it, two to nothing!
Only the speed on the wall here, he does so well.
Juicy gets there, it doesn't matter.
He comes back off the ceiling to pass it down to his teammate.
Wide open there for Joyce, it's 2-0.
Only decides so early that he can't win the challenge on the wall.
So he just sticks with it. Wait and see.
Gets the reward for it. One minute, two goals.
NIP after that timeout. Looking significantly better.
Now Jorius to make it free. And that's a completely caught opposition.
Yeah, he had two great plays earlier as a third man,
but this time just shows poorly there. Goes up onto his own wall.
like I'll take it for free. Another three goal lead for Ninjas in the jump.
Just I don't think he was expecting Juicy to think challenge. Just looks like he goes,
well, buddy, I can't really go for that.
All that's also there for the follows though. Just miscues here from KC and they had all the momentum.
Oh, it's so against them. NIP 4-0. Whatever will send that time out needs to be said before every game in the future.
They look unstoppable and only did a great job doing a fake challenge there
But then also getting a bump on a defender as well to open up that score in lane
for the lead
Should be safe only
You should not not this time
Break only then I beat. Yes, you'll be worried for goalie. It's never not in a million years
But I mean
I maybe could have done this after game one where they might require the timeout, but that'll later never
In this case that are perfectly on time as for here gives them a really nice goal
Is there consolation isn't gonna be more than that. They're gonna need a lot of kickoffs
Very nice pre-jump and a little catch a little soft touch so you can get the double tap
That is a fantastic call again on the road to 2000. No take
I tried something to take the first player and then allow Atom to take a first-time shot.
Didn't quite work.
So KC, well they needed a goal from that instead.
Gonna get anything, the Tyra loops low challenge and that should be too much time gone for
even most miraculous of comeback so that was a decent attempt there from juicy.
Double match point, two chances to go to that third grand finals.
NIP are on three wins.
It's not safe yet.
Still Neo Tokyo Champions field to go.
Last time these teams played, well, K-Corp, one game five to go up three two.
And then K-Corp marked that match with two Ninjas.
So they know the job is not done.
There's going to be a tough task for Ninjas in the job.
And Jorius with four goals in that game.
Shown up big firstie.
Yeah, Jorjus has that capability, just out of nowhere, I'm the best player in the lobby.
I'm just, I'm gonna see enough from him on occasion where you hope that you could really step up to be in that conversation for, you know, the best players in the world.
You get glimpses on him and then it disappears.
Well, getting more and more glimpses this season more than ever.
Again, looking for back-to-back grand finals in a split, Gibbs, where no one is consistent at the moment.
everybody having their hiccups. Back to back grand finals. Yeah no one's really doing that
at the moment across any region. And Ole had a great game too. Zero shots, four assists.
He was a passing machine to Jorius the entire time and we saw that one off the ceiling so
incredibly fast to pass it down. He also hit that pre-jump pass as well so Ole had a great
game and CRR obviously relatively quiet. Didn't have to do a whole lot. We expect to see him
We're here on YouTube.
It's been incredibly fun season
because talking earlier on about how
Casey have got to respond when things go wrong.
Everybody's had to this season.
Almost having an easy time of it.
Yeah, North America, of course, obviously
the usual suspects struggling more than we expect in Europe.
Well, the always top four vitality
did not make top four today.
And I pay two grand finals as close to consistency
as we get right now.
That from a team that has conceded the goals that we saw from them earlier on.
I'm trying for that to give you rocket league maps.
Right now it's Juicy looking to transcend us to game 7.
That's not quite enough.
It only lost out on that boost, so it had to do something with a CRR.
Actually finding a way through.
But K-Kart has that material with full boost against only Kenny Winn.
It does win one, but Jorius is there.
The best sell down here for both teams, CRR wants that bench, doesn't get it.
Wasn't too far away though.
So difficult to time those players for Tyra's low, Juicy's low.
That's what's got plenty, so guess what, that's your ball, you're playing it now.
He's got for Tyra in support.
But he tries to pre-jump against NIP.
Ah, that doesn't work, they know that game.
The pre-jump comes out, so then it turns into just one man back, but it's Juicy
does well.
be clear some demos coming out now for K-Corp trying to open up the
the pass down to Juicing and they fight.
You want to see this one again from the earlys POV.
Goes back for it, sees it early and he just gets bumped.
So that bump puts him to be the player that actually set that one up.
Lovely play though from KC.
And again, it's just about recovery.
It's about putting the pass behind you and going for the next five minutes.
KC looks to do exactly that.
Yeah, K-Karp known to be the most physical team in all of Europe, and they show it there in their first round.
Oh, one, one! Here's another one! The counterattack, the one, two, Ato to Juicy to get the two-goal lead.
Yeah, Juicy dives in earlier, and that makes him the passing option. That's the great thing about being first man.
You don't have to win that challenge. Sometimes it's good if you lose it, because now you're the target.
Two-nil to KC.
NIP, they've got Ollie on it. Nice outpace. Ato's got to do well. Ato does do well.
Now they need some more. Juicy, we'll declare versus a bit awkwardly angled for this, so can't just recycle the play.
So Ato's just trying to throw it on target. Jory is juicier, our great outlet pass there, so they can leave some pressure.
But the tier does well against two of them. Ollie has some space, he's gonna throw it heavy. Ato.
With Vatera felt it out. We'll bring it to the midfield.
And then up to the corner, Atto avoids Holy's demo.
Gets a good challenge. That was a poor angle from Jorius.
Atto, oh, I think he had the angle actually.
Vatera had to be equal to that shot.
Vatera not moving in.
Vatera's also looking for Atto's car, and this could be a dangerous position.
Vatera has bailed his team out of such a bad spot.
Nothing we're gonna go for, a bit of a little bit too far away from Fatty.
Jared did so well there to hustle back with no boost,
and I should get out two members that were trying to push forward
while there's a devil coming out as well.
Ninja's throwing everything at this to try and get this to a one goal game.
Nice catch from Juicy.
Even better on the block, even better off the backboard.
There's Sorato and all facilitated by Juicy.
This is what you want as a K-Corp fan.
Juicy and Ato show Juicy doing it all Ato with the great finishes as well and K-Corp.
He'd up! They want Champions League.
They're looking good for it.
There are so many three goal drops that you can see.
And just momentum is swinging at the moment. We've had one close game.
And all the rest of them feel like they've been bowed out.
does no one can get stay consistent from game to game and that one close game
was the blowout for the first half of the game, not the blowout for the other team
so that's about all we got. Everyone scores in three goals at a time, if I
won't get to sale 90 seconds left here and if NIP cannot get something
going soon then maybe it's worth just getting the snacks getting the
refreshments and getting ready for champions fields. What a tournament we have had to this
point. What a two weeks of rock at league we've had. Everything seems to be going on.
Majorias on the catch. Has he got a redirect option. Sierra wanted it. Sierra doesn't get
it.
Only looking to find something with Sierra takes it all.
No.
Actually it does so incredibly well. Sierra will get the pixel touch for the goal.
Only out of nothing finds the way through.
Yeah, ignore me if you just went to go against Knicks. Get back in the room! This game is still on!
I don't like that decision from Juicy. Tried to fake that for so long.
Needed to go earlier to force the play. Instead he let it get into the danger zone.
Power clear, one minute left. Two goals, two the better.
Jarius, nice block, but nobody in that position.
It's a little bit late. Jarius tries to cut the rotation.
50 seconds and I pay need a goal with at least a second on the clock that skins
not gonna work out. I like the idea though. For an only heavy touch and Ato will
put the dagger in a game six. Back to a three goalie. Resume snack grabbing.
You are okay to go yet again. Oh dear right into the path that is not good
good at all from NIP.
Also one coming cop.
They've been good, they've been bad.
NIP have been good, NIP have been bad.
Only one of them is going to the Grand Finals.
The play against Gentleman, the reigning Boston Major
Champions.
You see, I'm just trying to follow.
It's not about momentum now.
Trying to get at least some positive vibes for NIP.
That's off the backboards.
Oh, oh wait a minute how about it very unique you want more free jumps doesn't happen there
But again, it's all about momentum. There's no time. I was left for either team
So we're gonna go right into champions field. Yes, it's been good and bad rocket league for champions field
Always delivers. It's gonna be a great time with these two very talented teams. That's a once one more for the road
Almost gets it
Stop!
No, you get the block, and I'm just gonna stop playing,
or I would have it any more of this.
No more of these shenanigans.
Get me over to Champi Fields.
And why not?
We do it again.
These two teams went to Champi Fields two weeks ago.
And apparently, we're gonna have to go there yet again.
Last time, NIP won two goals to nothing.
Casey flipped the script.
We need to get the hashtag to the chat again.
Who do you guys got for that?
Because honestly I have no idea.
Hashtag NIP, hashtag KC, throw them in chat.
And oh man, this is going to be fun.
I bet it's going to be a 3-0 game for one of these teams.
I'm so no-no.
Hopefully, hopefully this is the one that they both show up on.
No more.
The Rookalik is the only one based game, OK?
Could you stop acting like it is?
You have both allowed to play at the same time.
They've all got one controller that they have to share between them.
So somebody's got the third brand one, the off license.
And no one can quite play with either way.
Five minutes, separating you and gentlemen in the grand final.
The coming cup, it's all about regaining their momentum,
returning to the top step in Europe for NIP.
It's about establishing the fact that, no, it's not all one and done.
We're going to our third grand finals.
We're looking to win our first.
What is going to be the story this time?
As we go up here as well, what a kickoff! What a stop!
Chorius, that is an unbelievable angle to block the tears shot there.
And now, Ninjas Mujama's thrown it deep as well, so they get away with the kickoff.
They take possession, Zero goes low on Atom, and actually does pretty well for them.
But it only has to turn around.
Oh
Quads oh, it's even boss. Oh, hello Jesus gonna have to just play this one back corner
He's not gonna be happy this position. He is gonna be happy with 100 so I know what it did
Looking for a spinch
That was reasonable, but strange with half of CRR who has been very hit and miss
Right now
There's a rule one. Did they hold it? They did not it is broken. They're an Ato were lost out
I don't know who broke it though.
That could be I, brother.
Oh, Ato!
Get out of the way!
They've got no chance! Ato is on the wall path!
He's a wrecking ball! Double demo!
And then bumps the third as well.
Ato is the most physical player in Europe
and possibly the world that he shows up at the Champions field.
I mean, as you say, you got one of the other games.
He's starting to think, okay, but that's not double digits, is it?
Don't get that one sorted.
But Tira on the catch, now it's up to N.I.P.
Can they respond?
A couple players on the back wall, but it doesn't matter when Juicy's gonna
try and take that ball under his own control.
But Tira, pass one, gets the block on two.
Juicy kinda looked back.
Everybody seemed all that committed to it.
Great block.
And that's unbelievable positioning from Juicy and the flick.
He's done so well in these positions.
Holy, that's the hardest ground cause they were blue cast swarming.
Hey boys, the Bombay controls this at least for a little bit, but K-Corp are pressing hard. They wanted to go lead.
Again, they're looking for players. Oh wait, Doomsy Dish! Oh, the terror! That was gross!
But Sierra played it slow around Sierra, who tried to bump him out, it did not matter and
only gets us to sit and watch the beautiful doomsie ditch.
K-Corp in full control.
And it just seems like this one is going KC's way off, that's really poor for Moley straight
into the ceiling.
Jorius, that's much better, good clear.
That's much better. Good Clare.
I can even hit field though.
NIP and Nipah still play-leave into the cusp on that one from going in.
It's Sierra. Oh my goodness, he's everywhere at the moment.
Although Atso? Yeah, maybe not the happiest position he's been, but
may that one look easy.
In Elizabeth Jarvis, they'll all have full boost, and they're taking KC's
so we know what we can do with this.
And now Devo's coming out by Torius. Looking for another bubble of juice to you.
He avoids it, but it goes around him anyway, but Atso gets the big clear so KC can breathe.
Only straight into the path of Vatira and I think you find something that isn't just a long clip. It's not working right now
Although this could be something that's here. I'm blue car to the other side of the field
Have to see our arm not enough pre-jump not gonna get there in time versus by himself grab the 100s
Just so awkward though when case you are in that position the products
You just think they're going for bums they take a demo and you're more or less lined up on the backboards
Yeah, Ato was hunted, you had to get more demos.
Now he's got a solo play, only turns him away.
Will get the clear as well.
He gets an extra touch, but the tier is there.
And who other than Ato demos out CRR?
He's up to, I believe, five in this match.
That was going for the past attempt. CRR clears it.
But Ninjas have to find a way out of there half.
They can't keep getting demoed like this.
Yeah, Casey, I've got them on lock down at the moment.
The side, CRR's on zero boost.
Jorius has got a little bit of time to catch.
Nice avoidance on the demo.
And he's got past juicy.
Little block of the teammates. He's got two of them.
Holy!
Backboard.
It'll be a heck of a redirect. Doesn't get to it.
CRR's on the way.
First time we've seen MIP in offense in a while.
Can they make it count?
Oh, it's everywhere!
Catching!
Only if he tried to sneak it in, he can't.
The finish awkward for Ato on the goal line, he has no boost.
Sierra actually Goomba stops him just slightly to open up that angle.
The physical play comes out for Ninjas and they're within a goal.
We've got some goals being traded for ones right where we wanted it.
Won't go the difference.
Juicy to the wall.
Can he find the sidewall skin?
Does well enough.
Early all the way down.
Fill this.
He needs to endeavor so it's all on him for the chase.
Jorius, gonna go backboard? No, close off.
That's been a great job here.
NIP just avoiding these demos.
They've certainly figured out where they're gonna be in the matrix.
Now Jorius is looking for Metira. Didn't get him.
Metira did well there, but Ninjas finding ways out of there.
Jorius is creeping off field. It's gonna be awkward for him.
Catch the touch. Ole versus Metira. Metira gets the infield.
Holy, safely to his own corner, 45 left from the clock, Juicy.
Trying to make it a two-ball game,
they'll flip reset the delay, and Sierra reads it the whole way.
Sierra does not choose to go for the challenge
to stay once the block.
They've got players running forwards.
Off Juicy's gone so early, does not want to get demoed.
Doesn't want to even give them the chance for it.
Here comes Vaterra.
That's now going to work.
Off to them to get rid of it.
Holy, how is it?
Is Juicy number two far forward?
No, he's not.
position for him. 15 seconds, JC have just got to hold on. Here's Oli, backboard, and
Juicy's already there.
So you're on pre-jump set though, trying to get the challenge in is won by Juicy again.
Masterclass of challenges, one final chance. Oli trying to bring it to the lowly, cannot
get it there, and K-Corp will move on to your grand final.
It was so over.
And now they're so back.
Coming for, against Gentlemates.
If your grand finals and games we feel like
it was a whole different series.
There were two games down,
there were three goals down, and they won.
I can't believe it.
They should have been down three on the series
and we're looking at like,
ah yeah, they might take one game and it's over.
But no, the three goal comeback in game three
And it all began out of Tierra's 1,000th goal.
And he's had a magnifying glass on him about his tweets
lately after the Boston Major.
But yesterday, he's like, hey, guys,
we're still in this tournament.
I am still incredibly confident in this team.
And it showed K-Court finds a way to do it.
So for the gentlemen, it's about re-establishing
that they are the best team in Europe.
The calming talk is about saying, hey, Boston has a war
We have still the team to beat.
We have got the blue wall against the green suits.
Grand finals after the break.
You're not gonna want to miss it.
MUSIC
Hey, the plumbers fixing that burst pipe.
We 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. Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.
But that's what we believe you.
Life is meaningless in that affirmation, am I right?
The
Everyday
To move the world forward on the road and far beyond
Michelin motion for life
I'm just going to try and get it.
We don't call it championship Sunday for nothing folks.
The grand finals are upon us.
Carmencourt versus gentlemates after a seven game thriller.
The blue wall survived against the ninjas here.
What a battle it was down to the wire, down to game seven really, let's be honest.
It was quite a strong performance there from the blue wall.
Go NIP, get that one goal.
It was down to the final moment
the ball touched the ground gives.
It was crazy serious,
because it was not a lot of close games.
It was a lot of momentum shifts,
a lot of blowouts until the end there
where it was a bit closer,
but it all comes back to that game three
where the Ninjas of pajamas are already up two
on the series.
They're up three, zero.
The tier scores go a number 1000
and everything changes
and Casey finds a way back to win that
but Ninjas and Pajamas, we kept talking about it.
Maybe we cast a curse thing about being super consistent,
but Ninjas and Pajamas pull off and Ninjas and Pajamas
and they throw away the series.
I just want to, I didn't remember game one,
I should be like,
I'm telling you, whenever you cast,
it's like,
Yeah, that's true.
To remember what happened early in the series.
So if we ever get that wrong, I'm sorry,
but you know, White Pump gave me
a very good analogy earlier.
We've got lots of ramp, maybe not much memory,
We're going to go into it.
There we go. Yeah. Three over
times in a real specific one.
Casey from three goals down.
Go ahead and win it. And it's
all off the back of the tears.
1000 RLCS goal. What a privilege
for him. What privilege has been
to watch him for his career.
And thankfully it gives we're
going to see him one more time
because they're on out. Casey
He had a game where he had nine demos.
He led all players in demos, which he always does.
27 demos throughout the match,
and he also had the double demo
into the bump later on in the match,
so Ato was everywhere just hunted.
We went into game seven,
a little doomsy dish there,
but at least that was a close finale,
but pretty much loved that to do for NIP.
True, and two teams with that win
have secured a spot at the World Championship.
Gentlemates with 71 points and Carmen Corps with 70 are guaranteed to play representing Europe at that world championship at the end of the season.
So congratulations to them. That's one thing they can relax about. Still got Paris though to secure up here.
And in this grand finals, I believe it is the possible for Carmen Corps.
Carmen Corps can clinch their spot at Paris by winning this regional.
I've been I have that confirmed.
So we'll see. That is one of the things that's on the line here in this grand finals.
Gentlemates and Karmicorp, they have played each other twice in this tournament.
Gentlemates has gotten them both times.
You can see it up there in upper bracket, round one, when they played the first time,
but they have made their way back after that win.
We talked to Naz and he said, we're going to play Karmicorp again in the finals.
Don't you worry.
And here they are Gibbs, the third time in this tournament.
Kenmates do it again.
I think they have a lot of advantages here.
K-Corp just had to play on Champions field.
Energy is drained.
We always talk about the other teams that beat K-Corp have to use all the energy.
They always lose the next match, but basically right after, and now K-Corp had to use all
that energy to win versus ninjas.
Can they do it again?
I feel like mates have a clear advantage here, but it is the final boss we're talking
about.
It is K-Corp.
Are they finally back?
Have they finally found their form just in time?
A lot of rice on the shoulders of Archie there.
As a team we were very much we saw him being very aggressive in their last match up
And when we interviewed Nass though in the time out where things seem to turn around for gentlemates the encouragement from their coach
Nasky was be a bit more passive force of a team out of defense
Don't go for don't follow your natural aggressive instincts here and we'll play a more controlled game
I don't know if they're gonna face the same that same situation though here against Carmencourt
It's not a team that is known for being defensive
of show. Okay, this is the
much takes the pressure to you.
But when we saw this match
played yesterday, both teams
didn't seem overly enthusiastic
to force the pressure into really
up the tempo of the series itself.
So maybe don't be too surprised
if we see that again, but I
love the route that it changed
on the time because the time
must be big in a series like
this. Both teams just took time
as that completely changed the
dynamic of the series as a
whole. So what is it going to
I'm also really excited to watch the manager step out of his chair just a moment ago, hopefully
comes back so we can play with the series here.
Archie is currently sitting at 999 goals.
We just celebrated Vatira's 1,000th goal.
Vatira's now at 1,005.
The person right behind him on the European leaderboard for players playing in Europe
with the most goals all time is number one Vatira, number two Archie.
So we have the top two goal scorers in the game in the region going at each other
here with only a six gold, a six gold margin.
It's actually kind of crazy that Veteer is at six goals.
And we just saw him get his 1,000 gold
when he scored five more after that.
Yeah.
But like Archie's probably annoying.
He's like, oh, I could have hit 1,000 first.
But I just couldn't get one extra in that last match.
He had the scheduling in his favor.
He didn't get it done.
But I think he'll be fine as long as they win this open.
And Jettelmates, obviously, they missed out
on top eight last time.
They are your major champions.
That's the first time that's ever happened.
They have bounced back incredibly.
They have already a ton of points,
but six more points will basically lock them up for Paris.
It will not clinch them,
but they will be in a fantastic spot.
So they desperately want those points.
Well, folks, let us know who you think is gonna win
in the fan vote hashtag M8 for the mates hashtag KC
for Carmen core here, Shogan,
as they are getting ready to go for the ultimate game.
Yeah.
Are you asking for a prediction for me or?
No, no, just you, you had something you wanted to say.
I mean, just a little something extra for this one as well.
It's also for the number one spot in Europe right now.
There is one point between them at the moment.
71, I believe, to 70.
Either way, it's even going to be a seven point difference
or a nine point difference.
But both of these teams desperate to be the team
when it comes to Europe.
OK, well, folks, I always know who you think's going to win
at home, and now I'm going to ask for a prediction
to your Gibbs.
And I thought, Naughty, what are you going to say?
I'm kind of excited about it.
Yeah, Joe, mate, you're going to win.
I feel like K-Corp used a lot of energy in that match.
I think I have to go, mates.
I think they get the early advantage in this first couple of games, and I think they run
away with it.
I don't think they let Cape Crop claw back in.
I'm going to say it, I think it might finally be a boring final.
We've had a lot of great games, but I think Mates are going to run away with this.
I'm pretty confident I'm going a 4-1.
Rocking would never have a boring grand final.
What are you thinking about?
If there's anything that we're noticing right now, nobody can put together back-to-back
results.
Joe may tell me them twice in a row has made me so convinced that they are losing this
Because no one can seemingly put together a streak right now anywhere. Give me coming caught
I think it's their time to return to the top of the region
You know I I it is rare that I predict against the blue wall
And I don't think I'm gonna start now. I think that first match was sort of wasn't was barely even a warm-up
I think they looked the best in that game seven there
I think they're gonna come in hot off of that such a short break here between these two games
and I agree with you. No one beats the blue wall three times in a row. The gentlemates, they might have the stats on their side.
History, I feel like weirdly is on the on farming course on this one. Split down the middle.
The gentleman's gonna be a slight favorite in chat here.
Carming court will be a slight favorite on the desk. It's all gonna come down to the players.
Do we get another sweep? History would say so, but I hope we see champions field one more time folks. For the title of European
regional champion, it's these two yet again.
defending major champion versus one of the greatest teams to ever do it.
Carmichord versus the gentlemen's for the title of European regional champion.
Well, Europe's first two world championship locks take the stage in our open five grand finals.
The head to head sits at three three for the season.
Yet, NASA's trying to tell us that the hard part of these is the semifinals.
I'd say that score line is telling us a different story.
Stumbly, Stumbly Gilbert.
This is game one by Progressive. Let's get busy.
I mean, I think that Gizmox is a pretty good point as well.
The fact that we've just seen Carmine Corp have to wrestle through that semi-finals.
Whereas Gimton Mates, they've had a bit more of a break.
They've had like an hour off of them to chill and then get back into scrims.
This has been back to back for Carmine Corp.
Will that keep them wired? Will that mean that they're a little bit tired?
I don't know, but Archie, goodness gracious!
He has absolutely slung that goal-word off the double.
This guy's called for a Mr. Gold Keeper to the greatest first man in rock-a-league sports history.
I don't know what's happened, but he's in love with the opponent's net.
It's 19 seconds, it's Archie once again. It feels like he's always scoring first.
The Archie of what we were saying earlier, he had like a 38% shooting percentage.
It was revolting. That was in fourth, and I think he had 20% or 28% rather.
It was ridiculous, the difference that Archie's in making on this team, and offensively,
He's right-played for right time, but you have to be an incredible player to get to those positions.
We saw Oski and Nats in particular really show up in that semi-finals as well.
They made a quick work of Manchester City.
They still had the battles pretty hard to get there.
They certainly got through them with a bit more ease than KC got through Nidgid's and Pajamas,
who CJ put up a really good fight against a team that's starting to,
I don't want to say lose their edge,
But like, they're not as scary and a whisper in case their puns are listening.
They're not as scary as they used to be.
They might be right here though, I don't know.
For gentlemates, I'm a massive man city fan,
but if NASA's trying to tell me that that semi-final's gonna be harder than Betty KC
in the grand final of her E.U. Open, I don't want to...
Actually, I take it all back.
They're absolutely walking the KC army down.
This is looking easy for Archie.
Congratulations Archie, on your 1000th goal and it comes through the method of your first ever flip reset.
Great job mate. You are the third to do it after Monkewin and Vittiera in Europe.
An incredible career, an incredible player and an incredible grand final that he has set us up for.
1000 goals for a guy that we all say just sits in there that ain't bad and he's found a new leash of life here at Gentleman.
It's Wednesday's first major and it's starting to look like the best player in the world the way he's going here in your open five
My goodness, what a start here in the grand final gentlemates. Let me tell them they've watched the NIP just batter
KC all the way to seven couldn't get the chocolates, but they're looking fresh gentlemates
Yeah, I think right now we just seem they can't see a commitment a little bit tired a little bit bruised
Maybe somewhat punch drunk, but we will see just how they're going to be able to recover from that
How do they bounce back?
Because they have got that bounce back ability.
By no means are we saying, yeah, all right,
it's going to be gentle mates winning it.
I'll give it a 3-B-1.
Let's have a tear on that backboard,
a lovely touch from Oskie.
Goodness me, nobody on the pitch, red path.
First Auckland in the midfield,
Oskie then ends up taking it low.
The right side sees him steal some boost
to the ceiling on his own here.
He has time for a reset.
Instead of using that air scroll,
just to sneak it past one final defender
for Juicy can clear.
It's not a bad start from the ninth to the fourth
Oh, he's got the first goal for KC.
Juicy just got sick of defending.
He got sick of sitting in that stumpy,
so he decided to hop downfield
and get rid of the third man.
Brilliant. So good.
Gentleman's pushed up incredibly far.
They felt like a goal was right on the edge.
All that takes though is the third man to either miss
or no longer be present.
Juicy chose the latter, opens it up entirely.
KC just wanted to bring back now.
Yeah, plenty of time as well.
He's out of off the roof.
Little flip past Archie, but loses at 50.
Brilliant leads to Nass back corner over to Archie as well
for the follow up.
Here's to John.
He finds two.
Is anybody home for General Maids?
KC first to arrive.
Still pressure on for this KC defense.
Archie just looks like he's everywhere.
I'm going to check if he's got two cars or...
If he's the one actually controlling the gameplay
or hang on a minute, Juicy.
He's in big, big trouble.
Nass with a free double off his backboard.
Nobody home.
Juicy can't do anything.
The Assassin's Strike to the Vengeance is perfectly up above the net.
Straight down.
Cut to this has been juicy in the floor with perfection.
Three for the Mates, the first for Nass in this grand final.
Three-one and maintain that two-goal buffer.
They get it back.
All important against KC.
We know how quickly they can score.
We saw it in the semi-final.
And now a three-null down against NIP to win that game.
That kind of spelt the end of Nidja's image arms after that.
We'll see if they can find two against General Mates, who defensively just look ridiculous.
We talked about their offense, we talked about Archie's doing it,
clitical he is. I'll hang on a minute.
I'll just curse them. I said they'll look at me!
Oh, Viteera!
He's missed the most open LMC!
I don't know how. I need to have a look back at that.
Somehow, that doesn't sneak its way in.
I've fated my breath to come in with another call to analyse what exactly happened,
and instead I'm left completely worthless.
But look, it didn't sneak its stuff because he missed!
It wasn't on target, he just rolled up the post, he had time, he had low boost, but his first touch was wide, he couldn't catch up to it, and it's not been a favourable bounce either, that could have been 3-2, could have been back on, but gentlemen, they got out of trouble there for sure.
One minute remaining, and Archie Cognitive run the side of Juicy, it's a lovely skim, that's going to be on target, and Naskin only watch Juicy.
What a stunner of a goal off the skim the final man had no idea what was coming
But I'd say it's a little disrespectful from NAS to be creeping up their third man with boost when you are two goals off the
Juicy set a great start a couple goals on the bottom MVP performance so far
BKC needs to step up again and need another goal 46 seconds left. Archie's looking for the dunk
He's looking with two of a tears in big trouble
Nass, basically an open net to shoot at 4-2.
I mean, look at the formation here.
As Matias is trying to get back,
as soon as Juicy jumps, he's on an island.
He has to jump, hope that for some reason,
Nass decides to send it slow and down the middle.
Thankfully, for Nass, he doesn't.
He shows Matias how to finish him off.
4-2, double the goals for the Mates.
4-2, and I just failed like Matias
wanted Juicy to get anything on that.
Oh, hang on, Nass is in a little trouble as well.
He found himself zero boost.
boost this has been it a goldfest game one of the grand final another 50 oski goes low
there's nas looks to just back off let archie get to work and honestly it's a winning formula
so far for the gentlemen's let archie cook first man create space meet another goal through his
name oski sidewall 15 seconds catch ridiculous skim that's covered by kc but looks like
Ladies and gentlemen, they're doing more than enough.
Ozoski has Mr. Klopin.
There's Jose, but here, Oz there,
but didn't get a touch on it.
Yeah, that thing doesn't matter.
The gentlemen, game number one,
is gonna go with relative ease, their way.
Lucky that they wasn't 4-3 in the end.
But the gentlemen, they just seem to be more confident
sitting at the top of Europe
than Calming Corp without being.
Since the major happened and they had that win,
They had to hiccup, it was a huge hiccup.
But to go from what was in ninth to 12th, did you say?
Yep.
To in the grand final, looking like,
you know, already getting a game win
and being like, yeah, you know, listen to routine,
having a laugh, having a giggle,
camera hands in the background,
felt like it was well.
It's good vibes.
It really hasn't affected them at all.
Yeah, there's something about that pink facility.
I might have to paint my room pink
if it makes you play like Archie.
I don't know, these guys are locked in.
It's gonna take a lot more than that for you, mate.
You gotta start somewhere, it's not the difference.
Yeah.
Well, just for that, is it?
The colour of your room, are you kidding me?
Look at you!
How dare you!
How dare you say that about Team England Archie?
Come on, man!
Come on. There's a lot more to it.
You've got to start somewhere.
You're all retired. You're not starting here.
You started years ago.
Game two, and I hope you can think about what you've done there, mister.
Archie, he was the top player in that first game.
Can he continue it through into the second?
Wrong forbidden tempo. It's pink all around.
Maybe everybody here is going to be acting like Archie.
It's calmly caught.
Can they bring another back?
We call the cast a timeout.
And so double open, it doesn't even need the backboard.
No timeout required, no timeout for us either.
As Nass is missed, Oskie's whipped,
and Archie's gone, what's just happened?
Now the Archie there's left foot again, a bit of an item.
He doesn't necessarily see what has gone on.
Sees one with, sees an error.
As soon as one of the life falls,
you need to essentially be in the wrong position
to them suddenly become in the right position. Everyone was in a very strict line and it did
not go how they wanted. There's going to be another open net. It's another demo from
Juicy to open up at the back. Two in 18 seconds.
I feel like just as we were pumping up the general mate's defense, we've seen pretty
much four open nets in a row for KC and Vati could have made it five if he decided
to put the ball on target last game, KC. Two goals in just 18 seconds of
Rocket League against the Major Champs. Well, defence will always be the
bane of every team, it looks. It's Juicy trying to control this one.
Just like Marchie, he's able to make contact with the ball and Oskie does well
with the limited boost he had. What a start though for KC and they can kind of
just chill into this one. Yeah, it's a dream start. They essentially start
one with a two-handicap. They get two goals off the rib. Atoe, poor touch, so he's sent to his teammate
instead. Nas, I love that. Atoe thinks, I've got this way too high by myself, I now need to go for the
man. Very, very well played from him. Oskie on target, a juicy every team save to clear it away.
Misfurist, nice touch from Archie. Can't get the reset, he's immediately charged down by Atoe.
Oskie has to tap it onward, and he does! A zero boost and a dream! This has been a real
prominent sort of play style from gentle mates just having someone always
Downfield nearly in the opponent's net just in case something happens just in case they win a 50 and ask you even though
He had zero boost he just stuck around long enough to be an absolute problem for the third man on KC
They get one goal back plenty of time in this
KC if they do lose this game, they'd be so disappointed given the head start they had
You know, that's two goals as well. I said it's gonna have to go pretty wrong
You don't you see the swing max from two goals
It's not necessarily in grand finals and both teams should be at that same level
That's how it's a long call carry
Just get a reset but can't use it. Thank you. Okay, I'll see nice flick over one straight into juices part
However, that's weight lurks see when his time is going to be to come in it is then that he they get send with the ball
Juicy hits double trouble
Nearly a set play there or ski just couldn't get enough meat behind it. It's had those
by Juicy. A little awkward Archie throws that ball downfield to Nass. Over to
Austria who already is up in the air throws it on Ness Juicy. Incredible save
and equally incredible play from gentlemen. Three-man pre-jump pass play.
Along the pass from Metira to nobody straight into the corner Nass pumps it
straight back again. This is steel toe cap football right here.
Nass got a lovely bit of error. Round one, round the second on to Nass.
is on target, mid-low target. Archie can help it out. Lovely play. And in the end, everybody
on Gentlemates involved.
That's just a little bit too happy to commit it every single challenge here. It was Gentlemates
down the other end, but that's just a wide open net. Third man low boost. Besides the
go for it, Juicy not going to be back in time, obviously. And Gentlemates basically
got a 3v0 in the end there. 2-2. And a lot of mistakes in this Grand Final. Not
I don't know if it's nerves, they're both locked in worlds, but it's certainly clear that Paris is not a certainty, just yet KC need to win to lock it in today.
If any KC fans in charge of what your tickets bought for Paris already, you want to make sure that they can lock it in here.
Obviously, instead of one more event, they are in by no means dire straits, but locking it in as early as possible will reduce the pressure for final events.
You've seen Tim Crumble out there.
Do you say you bought their tickets?
So?
You bought the KC fans tickets, is that what you...
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
That's too many tickets on Stumpy.
No, there's too many of them.
If you don't have your tickets here, Paris Major Stumpy will look after you as long as KC get the job done.
The blue wall of Stumpy, hand in hand, two minutes left here.
We'll see if KC can get their first game and on the board of the Grand Final Archie.
Throws that ball forward into the back corner now.
Oskie pre-jumping.
Nass, just a little awkward, but that's kind of the general mate's third man.
They're happy to be a little more aggressive and relying their mechanics Stumpy to get out of trouble.
If you go to the Paris Major, you've not got a ticket, just say Stumpy Sentient.
For 100 seconds, nice touch from Nass, straight into the corner.
Joe can clear it away, draw on dead level here, and I love that deal with the ceiling.
Bitch, Nass can't tap it!
With a touch of a little bit too heavy.
So he does take it away from the goal slightly.
Archie's in a great position to receive it from Nass.
Auski's up, from the central pass.
That one's mid. Auski has a chance again, but no, he didn't send it out so early on.
Uh-oh.
Clean in for my ass, but it's worked out for KC.
Down the other end, Oskie wants the corner, versus Vintempo, as has Juicy, passed down.
Superzero from Hato, Juicy is going to be a small and awesome.
But he gets back, Oskie was aware of the situation.
One minute on the clock, it has been it.
Oh, I was going to say a little topsy-turvy game.
This is a wifty-wifty coming through, a double-command,
where nobody can make contact on gentlemates.
50 seconds left.
It's hard to know who's really going to make the play,
to make the mistake but when you're looking for somebody time and time again
something it's happy and Archie that makes it work.
It's Oskar that sets him up as well he lures in Juicy, he forces Ato to dive on him
initially then to the ceiling as soon as he has that dodge he can do whatever he
wants so he is the puppet master sends Juicy flying it is great play but
this is where Juicy now comes into play he's going to try and bump the
fire defender isn't able to Ato fancied the shot now to Archie on the left
He's going to skim it, Archie attempts to flip towards the bat ball, but the Tira sees it coming.
30 seconds, Gintamae's on to win two in a row against what a Europe's finest.
It feels like Archie's formed the way he's playing, he's earned so much respect for his opponents as well.
It always seems like he's got a little bit more space than other players on the pitch.
He's positioning has been fantastic. Here is Nass. He's going to take it up top, off the roof with the pitch to the backport.
The Tira had to be quick, Ato's going to push downfield.
downfield they've got to find some demos now go for some bumps 10 seconds left
Oski just let that poor all behind him such a smart play and the slow solo look
how much time he's killing off the clock
what a statement for the general mates he entered that play wanting to waste
time and in the end he has a wasted screen pop-up on all of KC's monitors
Brilliant play, a full-core carry into ground pinch.
The gentlemates don the golden crown as Casey attempts to wrestle it off.
Who will emerge from this as Kings of Europe?
They were 2-0 down, 18 seconds into this game.
They won 4-2, 4 unanswered goals,
and that's enough for Vittira to throw a T-O in-chat time-out coming call.
I forgot that they have that handicap.
They have two goals, 18 seconds in.
This was theirs.
That's a complete throw from Karmenkul.
They get four goals on the trot.
Well, they've done what they did to NIP.
They've just never turned serve courtesy of generalmates.
They came back from 3-0 down against NIP
semi-final. They've gone 2-0 up here against Yomamata, conceded 4 and just completely fell
apart, opened Netsca Law. And the connection piece that we've been speaking about, we saw
it yesterday as well. And the reasons why they did drop down to the lower bracket, Stuffy.
They're just not the well-oiled machine, the three-headed beast, the perfect equilateral
triangle of calming court that we're used to. And they scored a 357 then a minute
later as all it took to then get that game level before even here half time we
will level again and under a minute ago they lock in the winning goal.
Oski then has a better style from his own backboard to make it one more. How
the calming court talk in this tactical time out to bring it back
against a mate that are sitting currently first in the standings in Europe, that have won the
first major of the year, that are looking to go to Paris and take it again. I'm sure a land
that Carmencorp and other fully French-speaking teams are looking at and thinking we need
to win there. Carmencorp will feel that's their destiny to win in Paris and yet Gentlemates
are standing firmly in their way domestically. It is a remarkable team, the Gentlemates have
assembled here, it really is. If there are any doubts from Open 4 where they weren't
able to make the playoffs, forget about it, the Major champs are back in biz and they
haven't lost anything, in fact they're looking just as good as they were in Boston right
now.
down 9 to 12.
That's pretty funny, you know what I'm saying?
That's a pretty funny result.
What a stupid eSports this can be at times.
How did that happen?
Like, why? Why did they get 3-0'd by a city?
Why then did they go down?
It doesn't make sense.
Well, they lost to these guys.
But right now, they're not looking like they're going to lose a game.
It's a calming cop.
We'll see if the timeout changes things.
But I feel like this is where, if you're a calming cop,
you're wishing you were together in the facility
where you could really lock in versus being online
just through a call.
You can't quite, you know, read the body language.
You can't look people in the eye, look your teammates in the eye,
and get that connection that they're pretty much missing at the moment.
And they're so used to that as well.
That will be a massive part of this, is they're so used to being and playing with each other
on those setups, and having won in those setups so many dozens of times,
that as soon as you're out of that, it will feel very different.
I'd love to have that player perspective on just how different that feels for Terra.
Even though he's at home, he can still come through and be a menace.
It is a lovely initial touch into reset around Archie.
It's a great play, Viterra comes into game at number three with a statement goal.
The speed completely caught Archie napping as well as a poor touch from Oskie off the corner.
And he knew it. You could see the Panicky double jump straight away trying to get a block.
He just gave that ball up and that's a different Oskie from what we saw empty.
That game through tries to the double reset there. It's nice
Well, what's gonna be able to control it in the corner, but the bumps are coming through horses
I cheated
Everybody fancy there. I'll see them bless and try to come for a little half-lib and then ends up more in the way
So there's never drama but coming caught we just happen to watch that one and fall
It looks very respectful. They did low apology
But they still are on the wrong chapter here in game three.
Gentlemates caught in all sorts.
Once again, they are loving these corners.
Nass wanted involvement as well from post.
There is nobody rotating up behind.
I mean, they're never recovered from their bumps,
like that issue just kind of continued through.
As soon as that weird awkward little corner play happened,
they never really got out of that stride.
Juicy's going to have to touch this on target,
Oskie, and just about make contact.
It's now the onus falling towards gentlenates.
How do you get back into this game as you did the last?
Well, yeah, they were 2-0 down in the last game.
And perhaps they just got to look at each other and say, shall we?
And see if they can do it again.
Four goals last game.
Unaid said, let's see if they get one back here.
Nice shot, double commit.
Needed by KC, Juicy to the side.
That's on the top as well.
Archie just looking to keep the ball in.
They're looking to get aggressive as well.
Look at Oskie going for the farm.
He has found one demo, but is that solo from Archie?
Not enough boost to get to work.
Free jump again from Oskie.
Straight to the ceiling.
The ceiling pass, he goes low and juicy,
abides a bump and gets the save.
For no one to work from him on the goal line,
from an inspired gentleman's offense.
That was the perfect play as well.
The shot was delayed so Archie could find the bump,
but the bump didn't come through in the shot.
Left a lot to be desired.
They're still on now.
Though Archie throws one on now.
Probably could have gone to the drop down pass there.
That's the one time they got a little bit antsy and with that timeout, I should say with the interview now spoke to Wavefunk about how they just don't want to be shooting too early against a team that is going to sit in that who's going to find the bumps and the extra touch who's going to draw the defense out and you can see it right here they're a little bit awkward KC so waiting for shots expecting that first strike.
You see the defense on gentlemen mates as well they seem a little bit techy and then they know that Juicy and the others are going to be trying to find these bumps and demos.
demos that go in this balls very quickly they're in their heads right now
are calming for the play this extremely well the second logical game is falling
to the blue wall. Karski looking to control proceedings
let's give it over the top of the front you can see how she gets this man looking for a demo
looking for a bubble material it doesn't land in fact juicy scout 2 down the
line in fact 5-3 this is like what he homies should pass who has had to
spawn the demos again in intervals so he did have a chance to come back
back home, but Nass needs to get up to this with zero boost to tear on the scene.
Oskie trying to control as well, KC, well, they've got a lot better than they did last
week, not even giving up a two goal lead.
They must have had a split second there with the triple demo, where there was nobody from
Gentlemates on the pitch.
I'm sure that happened within three seconds of each other.
I'd love to see if there's a moment more of 3D zero.
They couldn't quite find the net, but they don't need to.
At this point, they just need to not send the house, not over giving.
In fact, maybe a third goal will help.
The time our buck is on 3-0, three unanswered goals, KC back.
It's a lovely catch from Juicy, and Nass chose his hand way too early.
He jumps, assuming there's going to be a pop there.
Instead, as soon as Juicy touches it, he's already off the ground.
He's played his cards.
Juicy takes it low, Oskie's out on possession.
3-0 for Carling Corp in the third.
They've worked out how to hold a lead at least,
unless something absolutely insane
could happen in the last minute
and they completely overcommit
which they nearly have done here
as Juicy has to win the race to the corner boost.
In fact, he's lost it.
Oskie, he can turn it on net,
doesn't have to flip though,
had to jump off the roof.
And Archie is just doing roundabouts
in there, tries to get it on target.
Nats throws it across to Archie back post.
He's got absolutely zero boost.
Still almost creates a shot on net.
So Archie's looking for the corner half of this.
Nats is just buying time for him.
Archie's up, Archie misses.
at about 10 seconds and it's calming Corpse's heart rates, I'm sure, starting to skyrocket.
But where are we going? We're two goals up and I'm saying we because I feel like they need some
help here. Jussi's pushing our third man with a guy looking for a pass downfield. They didn't have
the ball. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know what they're doing. They might throw
this again. There's no way. Surely not. Final 20. Let's see why ends up coming. Truarci
beats one. Nass has to beat two away. Oskie free jump again. Jussi great positioning on
on the backboard, shuts him down early.
Still on here, everyone's front post,
it's a little bit awkward,
Ato needs to keep the ball,
Nass throws himself at it,
50's coming through everywhere,
and stay race for the corner boost,
Nass beats Oskie,
unfortunately that's his teammate,
Oskie throws it downfield,
Archie is up, redirected,
it's just not gonna find Nass,
it did find the net.
There was somebody home in time,
Juicy MVP, KC get their first game win.
Let me touch the material,
I'll put that into complete space,
Make sure it lands, nothing ambiguous about it.
And great play overall from a car wing called.
Just to manage that game when they couldn't do it before.
Now the onus still is on there.
Can you continue that form?
Can you keep these couple of goals
and then not throw away a couple later on?
You got scary, didn't it?
I'm not sure why they feel like they need a still position
so aggressively.
You've 30 seconds left.
you two goals up and they've thrown one away but you do get the first win that'll
build some confidence it was 12 shots of pieces you can see on the scoreboard there
through everybody watching at home which is everybody there wouldn't be anybody
not watching at home now I'm thinking about well I guess you could be watching
somewhere that's not your household but you could be in the park
if you're somebody chatted you're outside right now while watching this
I think it's raining globally as well from all around the world, at least with the 3 people I've spoken to around the world.
globally nobody didn't have rain about four hours ago had to be raining globally
Let's see if KC can keep raining goals down on general mates. This whole series has been raining goals of both ends
Ozoski looks to get off to a strong start here and try and get
Game we've got this is so important as well. You're looking at the context of this friend final
It's two one general mates win this they got three all up
Which does feel like no, I mean possible to come back from if you KC. They're three championship points
Just waiting to see if Carmen Koff can continue this biting play that they've got.
I also love to see the way everybody in chat is saying,
yeah, it always is actually raining by me.
I think that's really a bit raining globally.
It's actually true.
You see it on in different countries.
Somebody's left a shower on on a...
Wow, this is going to be a great environmental struggle
that we need to be talking about rather than the rocket leap.
But, Alas, we'll just keep watching the greatest these board in the world,
ladies at Gents Archie with the musty too juicy that's not his teammate as he
still looks with bombs this guy has really just had a complete role change
it feels even from the major I don't remember him being this aggressive but
I love it it's fantastic for Gennamae's
even a weather report and chat making me Google one minute 20 seconds of gold
I'm looking now logged in I'm British I love the weather popped up high in
that midfield Nass because gets sent away from that ball off he takes it
He delays his shot. That's exactly what Nass was talking about.
Look at how well this shot is delayed by Oskie.
He jumps up for it, pauses the tier of thing, winter coming in,
and awkward save, Archie can follow.
That is played from the whiteboard.
It's just nothing material to do there. He makes the save.
And those are the ones that, even as a player, it does frustrate you.
You feel like your teammates have overcommitted,
you're left in an isolated position, you make the save,
and there's still no one there to help out.
with the first one on the scene was Archie.
So pretty much forced to tap in and we'll see if Casey can bounce back off that.
I mean, I'd say they look better when they're in the lead.
They have lost the game from being 2-0 up.
They also won a game from being 2-0 up.
So we'll see all the next three minutes has in store for the blue wall.
Another double commit coming in from the gentleman earlier.
So your mate doesn't know that you've got the reset
and he then ends up diving in.
Yes, I'm normally the mate.
It's Viterra.
It's a lovely play there from him to get the reset into the dunk
but nobody following off to the first man playing totally solo of high for Atoe,
goes down line, finds Juicy, wide of target, but perfectly on Archie as Oskie gets
rid of Juicy, the problem man. Two minutes thirty-five after game remains,
and KC gets to work, Atoe is last. How many times is it just the third man by
themselves for a while for KC? It's so unusual for them, they, it's by losing the
offense, they're having to play defense and they're not used to it to double commit.
It's Archie, does he have the shot?
He just drops it down and atos, picks it off.
Oskie followed Vitira right there.
They are all zero boost, KC.
They're in trouble.
Juicy finds one pad.
It's enough to get to the ball.
Vitira finds 100, but he's been bumped out of the way.
KC just got to get a moment to breathe
because Nass let him out.
Yeah, they escape.
They managed to get out of the way completely.
Nass has to dive.
They're made sure that Atta can't get to it.
Archie, high onto the bat.
Wockels Juicy into action.
Plenty of boosting and now is a scary time for Karmine Corp, but with fair play they managed to hold off the might of the mates.
It didn't look comfortable. One bit there is that so,
Mizz downfield. They definitely look a lot more jumpy when the ball is in the orange half. Minut 40 still.
Need one goal here, Oskie. Into the corp, he's being bumped off.
It now has to make the save. He's popping it up to the likes of Archie.
He just crawls onto the backboard. The tirade underneath went for a free jump.
Now that's just, I mean, he was somewhere near it.
There was two members of the gentlemen,
so we're gonna dust him.
And still, I'm waiting to see that connection piece
really form for KC.
They're trying to force it for this.
There's still so many gaps in the positioning.
It's not bad though, but I think they're getting close.
They're like, they're 90% of the way there,
but that final 10% is what you need to break through
and be a defense like Gentleman says.
GC Tours, the ceiling arch, he's already read him,
asking to ask, time and space him.
I'm sure that corner's come through the tier up.
Immediately dies, goes to the bottom of the final defender.
Oskie now calling to an action.
Brilliant counter-attacking play from the mates
to keep Kalmingkorp away.
Nice rotation from Nass.
Have a look at that.
He had the boost.
He turns on the ball, takes it up top.
Pop over as well and makes it a four.
Yeah, it does look better from KC Stumpy,
but I always feel KC are almost surgical
in the way that they go about things,
whereas this gameplay kind of feels like
they're just figuring it out on the fly and it's
just a little scrappier than I used to.
high expectations for the blue wall but not quite working for now 30 seconds for a 3-1 series lead
for gentlemates and JC fine one. I think you need to have lots of the expectations and so far I agree
Carmel and Corp are not reaching it but the final 20 seconds is aware they're going to need to be
called into action properly. Vittiera straight from the ceiling towards that left-hand side of
the pin from RRG, Juicy gets rid of again. Their problem man, Oskic chance to shoot on target
Atto dives in final five of the pressure firmly in favor of the mates with Vatira going high atto to skim it onwards
Who's next to a juicy low boost can't get it too far Archie sidewall down?
Gentlemates they go
3-1 scoreline and Nass types what a save in chat does what I say quick chat then says no
And then fully types out miss click. Sorry. He meant to see
that's toxic I think it was on purpose and well he writes what a save but wow
they need to work on the offense KC you think that they're finding it I don't
know if one shot for the entire game goodness is even remotely close to a
calming corp that we're used to ladies and gents that's nine shots to one it
was only one nil scoreline but KC did not look like scoring at all in that
There were no chances, well, one if you're counting a shot, but it is not looking like the threatening blue wall we're used to.
You know what, mate? In hindsight, I think I might be wrong there.
I mean, actually, I think actually 10% of the game shots going to one team maybe isn't as even as I felt.
There was so much midfield pressure, so much midfield battling.
I guess I just couldn't work through him. I thought it was just that they were able to at least get something more convincing on target, but no, I guess not.
Oh dear, oh dear, dear, oh dear, it's in a grand final as well, that's tough, that's tough there for KC's, once again they're finding the defence, we're just going to have a little bit more time to get into this one, maybe a little mini time out here as we just get the server back up and running, that's what I mean, it just, where's the offensive pressure coming from, and we've got to give credit to the gentlemen,
because as you said they're just finding ways out but the way that they just layer their defense and they just look like their communication
Everything about their game plan and the way they're synergizing is on another level from kc, which is very reticent
Yeah, I think synergy is also a great way to put it because calming corp have really struggled with
Actually linking up honestly this entire event like they're the only time I've sort of thought they were convincingly all playing, you know the same
wavelength ball
is through most of the series versus NIP, and even then not all of it. Like, I don't even
think they've been figured out. I don't think this is another team's issue. I think this
is a calming corp issue completely. I don't necessarily know what it is, though, because
gentlemates are, you see the amount of times, especially Nass and Oskie, the pass comes
in. Nass lofts it, right? Oskie's already up. I'm sure that Nass, maybe it's communication
is saying like popping, flicking, whatever, sending it high, whatever it is, and Oskie
is instantly reading it. That is such a difference. That then forces Karmicorps to use so much
more boost to then deal with it. They were on low boost for a huge amount of that game
compared to Gentlemates. It's such a difference, I'm feeling, between these two sides. That
cohesion. That's just the confidence that they've got coming off a major win and really
the pressure's off them now. They've all been locked in a world's
they're looking like they'll be able to lock in Paris as well.
The way they're going, they're a super consistent team outside of that
open ball performance. And I just feel like the vibes are on match.
You look at Snasky as well. We gave him so much credit in that
time out of the semifinal to owe down, they just completely
flicked the switch and turned it on as we are going to get
back underway. I think Snasky's just got this team locked in
and it's sometimes it's off the pitch stuff. It's just the
way that they're all hanging out the way that they're all
which is best parts.
I just love the chemistry that these guys have
and it feels like they're having fun out there
and it's showing on the pitch.
Well, Carmen Corp are battling here to make Paris.
Are they able to do it in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower
on Park de Paris
or have Gentlemates just got their number?
Game number five may well be where history is written
as Gentlemates don the crown of Europe.
You know, and we need to see that different play
star from KC because we're on Park de Paris
and all I see from KC is parked a bus,
which is not working for them.
Nass throws it to the side while Oskie off the demo.
Might have a bit of space to work with.
He's looking to control proceedings with Archie at cross.
He's actually got no proof, so he's gonna back off.
KC get a chance on the ball.
You need to demo when you're making a joke
because I put this spot water all over like a zippin.
Stop it.
Come on, stop.
It's just not what you wanna see.
I don't know about rage.
Fuck.
Well, that's what I'm saying from KC.
I can only call it, as I see it, that's all I do.
I make no notes, I just watch rock.
Me watch ball, me enjoy.
Atso throws it up top, there's Oskie.
It's just gonna play a bit of a patient game.
Juicy could be the first on the scene actually,
he does beat Archie,
and if he's down it comes in, could be a goal.
Nass, so clever, he have one eye on Atso.
Dodges the demo, gets out of trouble.
And already we're seeing this good amount of pressure
coming through for the mates.
They've got that cohesion,
that's the much good work between these players.
Oskie with a reset, Archie,
You're looking just waiting in lurking middle
so you can immediately go up.
Even if it's not on target,
they just maintain that ball control.
They maintain that pressure.
Juicy has to get back on to that demo horrible play
and make sure that he is being as aggressive
as he possibly can,
because that is what broke through Gentleman's.
Generates Birdman is so clinical.
I love Nass.
They're coming in.
He just did a little stutter step, played a slow,
gave enough time for Archie and Oskie to grab boost.
And that means when they are having to defend like this,
They do have the resources to make it work.
Unless a demo can come through and he has to find a 50,
Oskie is in big trouble in it.
He has no boost to work with.
Metira sniffs top right.
Perfect play from Metira here.
Look at him slow it down.
Once he pops it, he does keep it a little bit slow.
He lets it flow.
Once Oskie to have to make that decision first,
will he go left, will he go right,
will he go back to the center?
Metira makes that decision for him.
He nails it top bins.
And KC with the hand of Vati take the lead.
What a start, can't ask much more than that from KC.
Came off the back of the demo as well.
Found a bit of that offense that we do know and love, Oskie.
And with a good loss actually,
Spanked self around, he's done a 4-1-80.
Trying to maintain it for style points,
but doesn't mean that Archie is lost.
He does have boost, and you can't see.
Just the respect that KC are giving Archie
to have backed off.
And looking at a set now, but general mates.
Well, they've been in this position before,
Now, one-on-one, when KC have the lead,
they'll come back sometimes, maybe on the odd occasion.
It does look like KC though, I mean,
I don't wanna go early, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I'm liking the demos, I'm liking the offense.
I think the first man's sitting a little bit higher,
but I'm still worried about the overcommit.
You have not seen really that much aggression
in terms of like physical, like car-on-car action.
Any demos coming through any bump from gentlemen.
It's been a lot less than what we're seeing coming forward from the mates.
Rather from Murkarmann Corp.
Karmann Corp have been very good at closing down that final man.
They've scored plus $3 that I can think of, based in finally off their demo.
So it's going to be a big part of this game.
Play Oskie Bates, Albert Tiro in the midfield.
But here are things I have to go for the folks.
Archie is on my tail and Oskie knows that.
Look at Archie, he's got zero at boost.
He has no right to be there.
He should be looking to rotate out to grab boost because it's not the safe play
But it's the play that general mates makes make time and time again that works because they trust their third man and
His presence is enough to completely throw material off one one
General mates even though the score lines level they look like they're back in control
I think initially the archie got the bottom line. I thought you're rushing to make that challenge
It's an even better play when you do that. She does get that bump great play overall
and it's going to be 80 seconds with Juicy leading the charge as a great 50 can be on target.
Oscar with the free jump save. Excellent from him.
That gentleman wants to just push as hard as they can. Let's close it out here.
He's just smart from Oskie. Covered the only angle. The only shot is the reset.
This is very awkward Oskie against the free jump. He does grab that corner boost,
which means he can help it out and give time for the likes of Nass and Archie to grab
Some resources off the road. 50 seconds left for Tira.
And he's back corner. Looks at the 50.
Oskie so quick on that.
So he's going to be the first on the scene.
The AA's in the air. Archie on the ball.
He's going to win the 52.
Oskie, Tira is pre-jumping.
Oskie instead just doesn't flip.
So the extra jump just to get numbers behind it.
35 seconds away. This is going on.
I think both teams are looking for an overtime.
Unless Atto could hook off the road.
Out of nowhere. Had to be a huge save.
And it came from Nass.
Triple command! All three players from Gentlemates after making sensational saves across the board all dive on the same ball
It just took one member to be patient to trust their teammates
But the panic setting in for Gentlemates for the first time really this series and this is a huge
No, we have one shot for KC last game. They've had 11 to Gentlemates 2
Just 15 seconds and it's not going to be pretty for gentle mates either.
Then let two goals go on the death with the Eiffel Tower, setting in the background as
well as Oskie not helping IE's teammate whatsoever there.
He's backflip'd, he said it's straight in the part of Arto.
He's hit that thing backwards, that stuff to watch.
What a turnaround though, this is 12 shots to two now, KC with a 3-1 lead and wow,
It's just a complete turnaround from what we saw as he said.
It's just KC fighting their offense, fighting their groove.
And it honestly just came off the back of just one demo to open it up.
And I feel like KC went, oh yeah, we can push forward.
We can find a demo.
And that's going to throw this general match defense off.
It's enough to get a two goal win in game five.
We go to Neo Tokyo.
And before we see Neo Tokyo, do we get a tactical timeout?
Is this a time for one or a gentleman?
We'll be attacking onto it.
Because Snasky held it at the Major, bear in mind.
There we go.
That's the time I'll come in from that Gentlemates.
He held it at the Major.
I did get nervous when he did that.
In the end, they won.
So maybe Snasky does no more than that.
They're trying to attack him.
Probably good timing.
Because I did question the last one after one game loss.
And in fact, well, we worked out with flying colors
to Snasky.
So you've got to trust the guy, the Major,
champ, coach of Gentlemates.
that's a good time. I just think the context of that game as well when they've had two shots
after the previous game having a dozen or nine to KC's one they've had two shots in that game to KC's
as well. Clearly something shifted so they need to you know rewrite the ship.
And in that game as well Juicy being the player to look at alongside Vitero. You look at Vitero's points
he got those three goals. He got a hat trick in the game, but juicy statistically, he was making
the most saves, the most assists across that game. He was playing incredibly quickly and he also
was playing faster than a majority of the lobby. He made sure that he was everywhere in game number
five. We have a minute before then we head to Neo Tokyo, a map where Karmic Goldwater Major,
which is quite exciting, no North American team here to throw for them in favor,
the game. And gentlemen, it's
never lost and lost a success
around these parts. So come
in court fighting for that game
seven. Hmm. This is this is
taking a quite a turn, I'd say
as I was quite. Not harsh, but
strong on the way they see were
playing. It didn't feel like
they're going to find that
playstyle, but they did find it
but maybe this has all the makings of a champions field.
Can we go the distance?
I mean, the thing is, when you look at Calming Corp
and how they can rally back into a series,
they can be second to none in that regard.
But you can never count Calming Corp out.
They can just adapt, they can change.
They can just become that much more solid
when then you look at the shape of a series.
The gentlemen, they seem to be having
that new wave about them.
They have that air of superiority.
They have the Major under their belt.
Can they shut down Carming Corp in just six games
just before we head into yet another Major?
They went into their shells on Park to Parry.
Let's see if they can sit down
feeling a redirect like that.
Aren't she makes a one-nil in just 12 seconds
of Rocket League?
And it's again, it's being set up by Oskie.
Oskie puts an awkward shot on target.
I don't think Ossie's expected to score that, but Archie has to be close enough to justify Ossie's shot just going on target and forcing Ato to jump.
It's brilliant play, it's a horrible play, a good defender because he might need to stay in the air juicy on the other side of things, gets a flick and immediately cleared away by Archie on target, a bouncer.
And now Archie dives in front of Ato and keeps the ball rolling towards the orange half.
It's great speed from Archie, the gentleman's defence when they're on are so patient in there because they know they're going to get support.
From that guy rotating in, in that case it was Archie.
100 boosts, he sweeps across, he cuts the infield.
If it's here, it's waiting downfield.
It's a little one-two shimmy to Juicy.
Archie's positioning was perfection to get that out.
I love it from Casey.
When you see more of that,
you're going to be able to tie this up in 4-7.
Yeah, those awkward horrible shots
that can just really shut down a stringent defense.
A defense that's got rules.
If you can throw in a bit of chaos,
then you may well come out in the vector.
And so far, gentlemen,
it's just been able to have those rules
be the absolute end of this game and Archie wants to demand the end just a minute end.
You know, it was Juicy picked up no boost he just he just he just popped it a little bit on the way
back to get some speed but he didn't run over a single pad as he rotated from the halfway line
and he ended up with zero in the tank. Archie perfect shot left side this is 2-0 this is
getting worried. We got save the ball like if Juicy don't have to get a pat there that's
Absolutely saveable. That's a rookie error from Juicy as far as I'm concerned after praising him from that previous game
Maybe that's just a difference maker those percents that are just going missing right now for the calming call
Hey, but he didn't flip. He just used to his 20-odd boost that he had
Oh, I got a minute. I just got a reset almost drips it on
Certainly as you said it was save the ball as Nass
This completed during past that that loses the 50 back to Oski Archie right there as well
He's going back board. They're trying to leave it for NASA. The bumps are coming in. It is absolute
Gentlemates chaos, but it's beautiful at the same time. I mean that's trance the needle
No juicy and vatira. I thought that it was gentle mates getting to work, but it's sabotage
for KC
It was great play just overall just a so that discord amongst that team
Tommy called up, no idea where to look.
The call has come from inside the house boys.
It's someone calling ambulance, but not for me.
What is happening?
2KC, Nass, up top, Oskie's waiting.
He's gonna try to shoot himself.
The job gets a Nass, call it, call the series,
call the grand final.
Oh my goodness.
Oskie jumping off the fireball,
then goes psych, sends it straight back on there.
Nasa waits, he lurks, he strikes, four, nil.
Yesterday in that upper bracket final for KC,
we saw a team bump in the final game
to mean the end of their upper bracket run.
That meant they were still through to Sunday,
but we've seen it again.
How often do you see that from KC
and the confidence you get if your general mates
watching a team bump from one of the best teams
in the world, they are taking it and running.
away with EU Open 5.
Juicy and Atto have a combined score of 130.
It's 76 and 62.
That is unbelievably low.
And it's 5-0.
We'll even a half time.
We're on for 10 goals in the final game in Europe number
5.
That is disrespectful.
In comparison, Archie and Oskie have combined a score of 1,050.
So, they've had a...
They've 10 times better in the deciding game on that.
So, just come and walk it in.
It is... What do you do?
What do you... It's 6 now.
You know, in Wands, where in the RLCS, you can...
Mercy.
You have a Mercy rule.
You call it here. You do say Mercy.
Right? You do... One in chat if you call Mercy here.
You say, you know what, GG's, you take this one.
This reminds me of after-genomates won the Major and Archie said honestly it wasn't even that fun
because we knew we'd won from so far out. I don't even know if genomates are going to enjoy
this championship win for EU Open 5 because they locked this down with two or three minutes left
in the deciding game. Ridiculous. And we're going to play this one out.
Weather check. Is it raining there anybody right now? I'm about to hop in the lobby I think.
Can I get involved? I might be able to get more points of juice here. It's on 155,
he's got two minutes to go. It's not bad we take those they've been getting other rankings
that's just it's when gentlemates become this fine oiled machine it is remarkable it's so fun
to watch it really is like I don't know how you can beat a team that doesn't even think they
can be beaten they're just thinking at all times yeah obviously it's not fun because we'll just
win probably. Then why did you get 9-12? Why did you give us that drama? Why didn't you win before?
What's going on? Why are you this good now? But two weeks ago, you could barely hit the ball
and come in court, beat you, I don't get what the fuck. Brazil's on. Brazil's on.
Oh shut up. I'm just not. Why? Can we just remind everyone that maybe you
stumped it at last game. Genomics had two shots, got absolutely wiped off the floor,
quarter-time out and then in the deciding game six we've got a double hat trick Archie and Nas
ten shots six goals clinical and looking like they're going to Brazil them when that points
to Juicy so he's out there doesn't see anything at this point it's like yeah like you say I don't
necessarily it's just it's crazy when you when you see a playground final like oski just there
They just go for a bogey and then if he misses, I've just got to play on half and
set up with these five extra goals that we've got.
I just don't know how they go from the from what we saw in game five.
Just pretty much shutting out the gentleman, it's by one goal to this.
Like this is so inconsistent and they're getting well.
Well, it's better to say, well, the Brazil is right now.
Oscar needs to get on the board.
We've got three goals a piece for Nass and Archie.
Can we get a Brazil?
It's what the people want after the tier with the block, Oskie.
I think they want seven.
They want to run in right now.
But the saves, Casey, do not want to get mocked in a grand final.
Coming up with nothing less than this seventh goal.
They are terrifying.
They do not go in the final 10.
Going at it for a tail.
Will it come? Will it happen?
Juicy is going to be...
No!
Oh!
Oh, shit!
Oh, mate!
Oh, I thought who meant to love? At the end,
Juicy doesn't score, and if that doesn't sum up
coming corp in this final, then I don't know what does.
Champions of Europe yet again.
Gentlemates go clear by even more points.
There can be no questions on this gentleman,
roster, who will bounce back from a strong top nine
performance in open four of a major championship.
So winning in open five, they're the reigning major champs
and they're the reigning regional champs as well.
And Casey, even though they make a grand final here,
Stumpy, there's still going to be some questions
about just where this roster is at,
when they're so inconsistent.
That marks three wins in a row,
four gentle mates, over calming Corp.
It was two best of sevens in a row here,
and they have been an incredible force to be reckoned with.
Two in one tournament, by the way.
They've beaten the upper quarter finals,
they've beaten the grand finals,
and they've become the EU Open Eye Champions.
Across all of Europe, CJ,
is looking like a mightily strong region heading to Paris.
Not a bad day for Archie as well.
Four gentlemen, it says hello, Jess.
Hello, boys, you're home.
Shut up! Shut up, Sid! Get away! Get away! Get off! Get off!
Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off! Get off!
Get off! Get off!
Also, Stumpy was wrong. The Karmic Court beat them...
They got beaten three times by gentlemates in this one.
Apparently, apparently gentlemates do...
People do beat Karmic Court three times in a row.
I thought no one did, but apparently gentlemates do.
What a run from them.
I mean, it felt like it was a little bit close.
And then it wasn't. And then it wasn't even more.
that last game. Oh, my goodness. Gips. I mean, mates, they showed up early and then it was
like, Oh, don't let Casey back into this. And then all of a sudden they just blew him
out on the interview. That game was just wrong in so many ways.
Can we talk about Archie though? Oh my goodness. Guy is getting better and better. Might very
well be the most consistent player across the entire region right now. He just
always seems to show up and this has been his event obviously got himself about
one thousandth goal but everything he's provided this team at the moment is top
quality and gentle mates we're wondering you know is that gonna be a blip on their
radar is that is Boston what they are is what they were two weeks ago the
actual story for their gameplay I'm dead champions that's the only story you
gotta worry about yeah Archie 1.33 goals for game sure you know 32%
probably had a little bit on the yoke. But you love to see it. And for KC, it's still
inconsistency. And obviously they are held to a very high bar because of how good they
have been in the past. They tried for the general plays. It did not matter. Well, quite
the performance in this performance in this grand finals as well as the rest of the
tournament we're joined by him on the call and is Archie himself sir I mean I
don't have to tell you this you've you're 4-0 against
Karmenkor in grand finals in the five regionals you've won you've beaten Karmenkor
every time it is I'm just curious like that's just a separate from that who's
the most overrated team in Europe in your mind is it Karmenkor
nah overrated I mean now I think that the top five teams is pretty obvious
right now like with the top five in the Sandings like Mansi or Swataly, Casey and NRP.
I mean I don't think anyone's really overrated man. I think like people kind of...
After you beat them 6-1 that was a pretty big beat down.
But I think when we play our game we're the best team in the world.
So yeah like I mean but I mean they won two games so it wasn't like that easy of a series.
It was still part they got two games but I mean we closed that.
Actually you say when you're playing your game you're the best team in the world.
We saw it obviously in Boston. We've seen it this week
Which leads to quit what happened two weeks ago? Like what happened for that blip?
Um, I think the individual level was not really there like I think
We didn't really grind as much possible. Maybe like it was like
complacency issue
But I think honestly it was a great loss like that loss was so good for us
Because then we kind of knew like we still have to work for the wins
Like we know we can be with the best team when we play again, but we start the work for it
We still have to grind.
We still have to pretend we're not the best
to stay the best, to be honest.
We have to grind and we still need to reach the top.
We kind of did it as regional and we showed we're the best.
And congrats on the win.
And congrats on your world championship clinching spot.
But you also scored goal number 1,000 in that match.
Did you realize that you've scored that many goals
in our assist?
I mean, I think this is the start
where I've made every regional main event.
I'm like the only player in Europe to make every main event in EU since RTSX.
So, I mean, I think it kind of makes sense.
I've been around a long time now, maybe like five years.
So, I think it makes sense.
Do you have of those a thousand goals?
It's a thousand and seven at the end of the series you're at right now.
Is there one that's the most memorable?
Probably my own goal against Vitali in the major final,
where I put my teammate and then shot top left.
That's probably the most memorable.
Which is funny, because that's not even one of the one thousand and seven.
Yeah, that one wouldn't count.
He's got what that means, all right?
That's true.
Yeah, hey, man, congratulations on the victory.
Congratulations on the world spots.
Any final shout-outs you want to make here?
The floor is yours.
Shout-out to the gentlemen's fans.
I mean, there's no spoilers after we had a really bad performance
as regional and still fires.
And hopefully we made them proud and happy this regional.
Shout-out to the gentlemen's org, the staff, the sponsors,
everyone, and, you know, going to keep winning tournaments.
Yeah, absolutely.
So congratulations on the championship.
Archie here, our regional European champion.
Good luck on the rest of the season, sir.
Thank you.
That is another one for the books
as they've put them down on Neo Tokyo,
six games, and General Mates advances
as European regional champion.
They haven't quite secured that final spot
in their spot in Paris here, Gibbs,
but they are just a breath of air away from it.
Yeah, but there was a lot of pressure on them again.
Open four, they miss out, they get ninth place.
If you know, they have a bad day again on Friday,
They'll be looking like, oh, we're not going to Paris.
Worlds will likely be there no matter what.
But that pressure was on them, and they performed
and got that first place.
And now, three-way tie number two at 20 points.
So 10 points clear of a team that is not in the run
as of right now with KDAPCorp.
So 10 points.
You're feeling pretty safe.
It looks like it's coming down to Manchester City.
KDAPCorp, maybe a total hole makes a run.
Probably one of those three teams.
Yeah, it's going to be a nice.
me a run for KDAPCorp here, I feel like, Shogun, given that, like, especially if me,
I think I could just get four more points, then it's a four-way tie for second. Like,
they could, they could threshold to make land becomes like 20 points.
Yeah, you need a big result if you're KDAPCorp. You're thinking like semi-finals or refinals,
if they're even to catch that, because Man City, very likely, you'd expect them to make at
least a top eight. That's four points. That'll put them to 20. So, I mean, that, yeah,
you'd need 12 if you're KDAPCorp. Yeah, if Man City even make it to that point, if they just
just make top eight. So yeah, it's looking a bit difficult. Maybe we've got the top five
locked in, but right now that race to be the best in Europe. That is so tight. It's incredible
that me vitality sits on top right now and the first seed, they could easily be the fifth
seed by the end of open number six, but probably probably likely still got that spot locked
up. Here's what things look like for worlds right now vitality sitting in third place
pretty cleanly there with a nice gap between them in the news and pajamas man city.
I have a good beginning of the season all the way back there in Copenhagen and now here continuing on
through the rest of the season. They're securely sitting in fifth here for North or for Europe.
The rest of the world starting to heat up as well as we are approaching the end of the season.
We're on the back half of the season now believe it or not. Open number six will be our final
online event for Europe and all of that is preparing for who's going to play for the title
of major champion in Paris. First time, RLCS has been in that big city. Paris is going to be a
wonderful time. If you want to be there, make sure you get your tickets. I'm excited about it,
so I'm going to know you're excited about it as well. This is going to be a fantastic tournament.
It's going to be fantastic. We still don't know, you know, across the wilds, there's so many teams
still trying to get over there. Yeah, North America. I mean, North America is looking pretty
comfortable at the moment. Everyone else, not quite so much. We've got the Falcon struggling
over in the Middle East. However, team stallions, they might come through and steal a spot
from twisted minds, but over in OCE, my favorite region right now, that is going to be a winning
in next week. Whoever got three teams, Wild Cup power and counter the Bulldogs. I'm just
going to go for the Bulldogs. I'm not naming the entire thing, but that is going to be
a win that tournament, make it to the event. As you know, Gibbs OC needs a good representative
at Paris because they need to at least go even with South America. And then we get
all the LCQs that we also get the first time choosing RLCS ones as well. So it's gonna be
a lot of fun. We still got a lot of action left. It's gonna be a big one folks. RLCS now
spans three different disciplines here. One of the one 2v2 and three 3v3s. I'm excited
about it, but that does it for this weekend. Open number five in Europe is concluded.
Congratulations to the gentlemen. We'll be live again next weekend for North American
open number six. Hope to see you guys there. Stay safe.
Oh, no, this guy's going that way.
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.
Valets can be a big test for a young homeowner
turning into their parents.
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.
You said if the garage is full, they'd go to the overflow.
I heard them out right here.
Let's just stand quietly.
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents,
but we can protect your home and auto when you bubble with us.
I think you might have brought the wrong car.
We have the red convertible.
I
