WEBVTT

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
I

04:00.000 --> 04:02.000
I

07:30.000 --> 07:31.600
makes you want to hide

07:31.600 --> 07:34.000
when the gods have stacked against you

07:34.000 --> 07:36.800
and you're standing on the edge

07:36.800 --> 07:40.400
now's the time, now's the time

07:40.400 --> 07:44.800
think about all the dreams we'll keep inside

07:44.800 --> 07:49.600
think about all the ones you love

07:49.600 --> 07:54.400
I know this feeling for you would be my guide

07:54.400 --> 07:58.800
I know that we can all come

07:58.800 --> 08:03.480
I'm not so cool that we lose it

08:03.480 --> 08:08.200
Oh, I need a, I need a

08:08.200 --> 08:12.800
When the dark in the stars and we're broken

08:12.800 --> 08:16.480
Oh, yeah, I need a

08:16.480 --> 08:19.080
That's when we need each other

08:21.080 --> 08:23.800
That's when we need each other

08:25.800 --> 08:28.400
That's when we need each other

08:58.800 --> 09:01.920
All the dreams should keep it shut

09:01.920 --> 09:06.480
Think about all the ones you love

09:06.480 --> 09:11.200
I know there's been a part in my guide

09:11.200 --> 09:16.080
I know that we could go where we belong

09:16.080 --> 09:20.480
When the world's so cold and we lose it

09:20.480 --> 09:25.520
Oh, but we know, I'm we know

09:25.520 --> 09:33.520
When the door is closing, we're all gonna get on the edge

09:33.520 --> 09:36.520
That's when we need each other

09:38.520 --> 09:41.520
That's when we need each other

09:42.520 --> 09:45.520
That's when we need each other

09:47.520 --> 09:50.520
That's when we need each other

10:50.520 --> 10:53.960
I told you that one day ain't never enough

10:53.960 --> 10:56.960
But tell me I hate you, I still call you up

10:56.960 --> 11:00.960
We don't got trust, we can never add love

11:01.960 --> 11:06.960
I was put in the hours, hours, hours, hours I was

11:07.960 --> 11:12.960
But you were calling me a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar

11:13.960 --> 11:19.960
Now I've been put in the hours, hours, hours, hours I was

11:50.520 --> 12:04.200
I'm sick of fighting the things that you said I don't want to burn all our bridges ahead

12:04.200 --> 12:10.840
I'm tired of going to bed when you left me on rad just to turn up the noise in my head

12:10.840 --> 12:17.080
I told you that one day ain't never enough You tell me I hate you I still call you up

12:17.080 --> 12:21.080
If we don't got trust, we can never have love

12:22.080 --> 12:27.080
I was puttin' in the hours, hours, hours, hours I was

12:28.080 --> 12:33.080
But you were callin' me a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, yeah

12:34.080 --> 12:39.080
I've been puttin' in the hours, hours, hours, hours I was

12:40.080 --> 12:46.080
And it's coming down and down and down and down and down and down and down

13:17.080 --> 13:22.580
You will come with me, lily, lily, lily, lily, lily

13:23.580 --> 13:28.580
I've been forgetting you, I was, I was, I was, I was

13:29.580 --> 13:36.080
And it's coming now and now and now and now and now and never

14:47.080 --> 14:49.080
You

15:47.080 --> 16:14.120
We got two tickets left to be given out three teams that could potentially claim them one

16:14.120 --> 16:17.960
It's a lot of work to do and we're going to watch them try to do it here today.

16:17.960 --> 16:19.800
Folks, welcome in to the free show.

16:19.800 --> 16:24.520
We got 28 minutes and 32 seconds before foot kick off against Dignitas.

16:24.560 --> 16:28.840
Big match for foot there trying to move forward and punch their ticket through.

16:29.160 --> 16:30.840
I'm joined by James.

16:30.840 --> 16:32.200
I'm joined by Dajuan.

16:32.200 --> 16:33.680
I'm joined by Chief Zolo.

16:33.680 --> 16:36.360
So I can just see you looking very dapper in the striped shirt.

16:36.720 --> 16:37.200
Thank you.

16:37.200 --> 16:40.400
I had to get a little bit of blue with my dots today.

16:40.400 --> 16:42.000
So it brought me joy.

16:42.000 --> 16:42.480
Wonderful.

16:42.480 --> 16:43.400
Fantastic stuff.

16:43.400 --> 16:45.640
We're here championship Sunday, James.

16:45.640 --> 16:48.360
This is this is the big one for some of the teams.

16:48.360 --> 16:51.080
Yeah, really the only team today

16:51.080 --> 16:53.440
that you're going to be really watching very closely

16:53.440 --> 16:54.360
is Virtus.Pro.

16:54.360 --> 16:58.720
Virtus.Pro, the one team that has a very outside shot

16:58.720 --> 17:00.760
at making a run, but otherwise North America

17:00.760 --> 17:01.600
is pretty locked up.

17:01.600 --> 17:03.480
But this could be a big moment

17:03.480 --> 17:06.240
to find out who is the top dog from North America

17:06.240 --> 17:07.600
heading into Paris.

17:07.600 --> 17:08.720
Heading into Paris.

17:08.720 --> 17:10.560
Dazz, people can get their tickets.

17:10.560 --> 17:11.840
They can be there in the building.

17:11.840 --> 17:12.600
We're almost there.

17:12.600 --> 17:15.320
The road to Paris has been long, but we're on the final few steps.

17:15.320 --> 17:19.600
We are on the final few steps, we're at this point after today's done, we will have, I

17:19.600 --> 17:22.360
want to say about half the teams that we know going.

17:22.360 --> 17:27.080
So again, if you want to be there to support your favorite team, to see us or just to

17:27.080 --> 17:30.280
enjoy the atmosphere that comes with Paris, because you've already got to taste of it

17:30.280 --> 17:34.760
at Lyon, make sure to get your tickets because they're going to be leading soon.

17:34.760 --> 17:35.760
Get there folks, get there folks.

17:35.760 --> 17:38.680
Even if you didn't get a taste of it at Lyon, come have your first, the first

17:38.680 --> 17:40.600
flavor hitting your tongue in Paris.

17:40.600 --> 17:42.240
Man, what, what a moment.

17:42.240 --> 17:43.480
They know how to cook over there.

17:43.480 --> 17:45.860
Let's talk about the best place from yesterday

17:45.860 --> 17:47.280
because, man, there were some bangers.

17:47.280 --> 17:49.580
These are the progressive top plays.

17:49.580 --> 17:51.920
I'm ready for the top five from Playoffs Saturday

17:51.920 --> 17:53.080
Achieve's taking away.

17:53.080 --> 17:56.000
LJ with the beautiful Zen pick-up.

17:56.000 --> 17:57.400
Look at the donation out of the corner.

17:57.400 --> 17:59.120
That pick-up is nasty.

17:59.120 --> 18:01.200
And all the way to the top left corner,

18:01.200 --> 18:02.960
as our friends are first-times like to say,

18:02.960 --> 18:04.400
hand out, man, there's something like,

18:04.400 --> 18:06.040
get a hand up and stop this, man,

18:06.040 --> 18:07.600
because if you don't, what happens?

18:07.600 --> 18:09.680
Top left, Tommy Wood, please.

18:09.680 --> 18:16.360
But don't count out the ranked warrior turned RLCS pro Bora making life miserable for Gen G

18:16.720 --> 18:22.240
Doing it on so perfectly taking it up to the ceiling a little touch out and then that flip shot

18:22.240 --> 18:26.760
You could see rise was bamboozled. Give me some Roy Alice man. I need another

18:27.760 --> 18:30.360
Resettle I can give me a double bang bang

18:31.160 --> 18:35.760
Change listen didn't do that good in the Sears where Alice was a superstar and again

18:35.760 --> 18:39.600
He showed up here. Beautiful goal. Context matters here folks. We're talking about

18:40.160 --> 18:47.920
Boron making Genji's life miserable. This is a buzzerbeer. Zero seconds on the clock to the outside to evil rise tries to take care of it.

18:47.920 --> 18:52.480
But boys, no, thank you very much off the post and back in. What am I even watching?

18:54.080 --> 18:55.920
Ooh, look at him. Just go.

18:57.120 --> 19:00.880
He got scared. Just a muscle, man. Speaking of muscle, let's look at that.

19:00.880 --> 19:03.680
Again, you love it when a player goes all the way around the field. Give me a flip.

19:03.680 --> 19:06.440
Flip reset pass, wait, get a little bit more to score.

19:06.440 --> 19:09.000
I'm in the way for him.

19:09.000 --> 19:11.600
You love to see it, just so much physicality

19:11.600 --> 19:13.080
from the message you coming out yesterday.

19:13.080 --> 19:15.560
All ball, and sometimes all ball,

19:15.560 --> 19:16.960
but that flip reset didn't pass,

19:16.960 --> 19:18.680
maybe it was Christine and the dunk

19:18.680 --> 19:20.360
to finish it in a finisher series.

19:20.360 --> 19:21.320
I mean, my gosh.

19:21.320 --> 19:23.760
You definitely said to change directions.

19:23.760 --> 19:24.880
We're going this way now,

19:24.880 --> 19:26.040
now we're going this way now.

19:26.040 --> 19:27.520
And I'm still in control there.

19:27.520 --> 19:28.800
And look at the dunk afterwards, Zach.

19:28.800 --> 19:29.960
What a play from them.

19:29.960 --> 19:32.520
We'll see him play a little bit later on today.

19:32.520 --> 19:36.600
They got a match versus the winner of the first batch of the day.

19:36.600 --> 19:37.520
Dignitas versus Funtz.

19:37.520 --> 19:39.720
So we'll see them here in a little bit.

19:39.720 --> 19:42.960
Top moments from yesterday were pretty exciting stuff that we had.

19:42.960 --> 19:46.000
Did the champions feel actually even get to Neo Tokyo yesterday?

19:46.000 --> 19:48.720
Pretty one-sided matches from top to bottom there.

19:48.720 --> 19:53.880
Shopify, Space Station, Dignitas, and NRG finding the wins here.

19:53.880 --> 19:56.840
Let's, James, I'm just gonna hand you the floor here.

19:56.840 --> 19:58.800
Let's talk about the reigning defending

19:58.800 --> 20:01.120
rock and league champions of the world, NRG.

20:01.120 --> 20:03.120
Yeah, this was the matchup where a lot of people

20:03.120 --> 20:06.200
were expecting it to be the most one-sided match in on paper.

20:06.200 --> 20:09.920
It was the most one-sided match being a 4-0 sweep.

20:09.920 --> 20:13.520
But to one's credit, they kept it within one every game,

20:13.520 --> 20:17.320
except the last one where NRG beat them 2-0.

20:17.320 --> 20:19.760
NRG looked pretty good.

20:19.760 --> 20:21.560
A lot of people wanted to see a little more fight

20:21.560 --> 20:23.760
in their offense, but Royales made things tough.

20:23.760 --> 20:26.640
Royales scoring both goals for one.

20:26.640 --> 20:28.920
Really an amazing individual place.

20:28.920 --> 20:30.000
You saw that air dribble bump.

20:30.000 --> 20:32.040
also had a flip reset double that was pretty nasty.

20:32.040 --> 20:35.040
There was another long overtime, eight and a half minutes

20:35.040 --> 20:37.480
for NRG and if you've been watching this event

20:37.480 --> 20:39.040
even dating back to Friday,

20:39.040 --> 20:41.640
NRG has had some brutally long overtime

20:41.640 --> 20:44.240
getting the record for the longest best of five

20:44.240 --> 20:46.480
in RCS history just this past Friday

20:46.480 --> 20:48.240
thanks to some overtime's.

20:48.240 --> 20:50.480
But in the end, the team got the job done.

20:50.480 --> 20:51.320
That's what they do best.

20:51.320 --> 20:52.680
There's closed series out.

20:53.680 --> 20:54.960
Daniel steps up the air,

20:54.960 --> 20:56.520
drew a plate for the 1v2

20:56.520 --> 20:58.320
and just walked through both of them.

20:58.320 --> 20:59.720
That's so funny to me.

20:59.720 --> 21:02.800
That's how you know you made it when you're that good.

21:02.800 --> 21:04.760
It is very, very good at this video game.

21:04.760 --> 21:07.120
They have a match versus Virtus.Pro later on today,

21:07.120 --> 21:09.320
a battle for best Orange here in North America.

21:09.320 --> 21:12.640
We'll see if NRG can continue through a win against Virtus.Pro,

21:12.640 --> 21:15.080
completely seals the deal on which teams

21:15.080 --> 21:17.160
are going to North America here.

21:17.160 --> 21:19.720
We'll talk about that a little bit later on in the show here.

21:19.720 --> 21:21.600
Three other matches happened, though, as well here.

21:21.600 --> 21:24.840
James, I mean, we also saw Dignitas versus Gen.G.

21:24.840 --> 21:27.520
We were talking about how good Bora looked in this series,

21:27.520 --> 21:30.000
down the highlights there.

21:30.000 --> 21:33.400
Gen G, though, I mean, it's a tough moment.

21:33.400 --> 21:34.800
What's happening with Gen G?

21:34.800 --> 21:36.840
I mean, I don't think it's what's happening,

21:36.840 --> 21:38.240
is what has happened.

21:38.240 --> 21:41.600
I think what they experienced was a breakdown.

21:41.600 --> 21:43.480
They had multiple series this year

21:43.480 --> 21:46.680
where they just made mistakes that really bite them.

21:46.680 --> 21:48.200
And coming into this Dignitas matchup,

21:48.200 --> 21:49.240
you knew it was going to be close.

21:49.240 --> 21:51.640
They were one-on-one heading into this series.

21:51.640 --> 21:53.740
Dignitas, one of those other teams

21:53.740 --> 21:55.840
that's a real threat in the LCK.

21:55.840 --> 21:58.440
and I expect after this result,

21:58.440 --> 21:59.960
maybe they'll even go further today,

21:59.960 --> 22:02.280
but expect this team to stick for the LCQ

22:02.280 --> 22:03.760
and be a big contender.

22:03.760 --> 22:05.520
I think the question now is,

22:05.520 --> 22:08.000
is Gen G going to stick heading into LCQ?

22:08.000 --> 22:09.320
It's tough to imagine,

22:09.320 --> 22:13.160
especially with how devastating some of these losses have been.

22:13.160 --> 22:16.280
You know, it's not funny that James, you know,

22:16.280 --> 22:18.120
not to say that you're wrong in this point,

22:18.120 --> 22:20.960
but it's funny that you say, like people say,

22:20.960 --> 22:24.240
all we knew was going to be a close series going in.

22:24.240 --> 22:31.160
But that's where all of us have kind of been wronged at is with Gen.G, is like, okay, we're

22:31.160 --> 22:33.560
expecting a close series from you.

22:33.560 --> 22:35.160
I mean, go back to predictions.

22:35.160 --> 22:39.040
I think the entire does predicted Gen.G to win.

22:39.040 --> 22:42.880
And they hit like, but this happened in time and damn again.

22:42.880 --> 22:47.800
I think it also was a close series when you look at some of those losses where

22:47.800 --> 22:52.080
Gen.G just made a mistakes in a game that was winnable for them.

22:52.080 --> 22:53.920
Like they, they, they were playing it close.

22:53.920 --> 22:58.880
It was clear that talent wise play ability wise they were there but I agree with you

22:58.880 --> 23:04.000
dad if you just look at the score it should have been I think for Gen G a much closer

23:04.000 --> 23:06.760
game but they just faltered time and time again.

23:06.760 --> 23:07.760
Spotty Friday?

23:07.760 --> 23:08.760
Mmmmmm.

23:08.760 --> 23:10.480
This question was just Saturday?

23:10.480 --> 23:11.480
Bounced out?

23:11.480 --> 23:12.480
What can you do?

23:12.480 --> 23:15.200
Some work to do before LCAQ for sure.

23:15.200 --> 23:20.480
I mean I mean dad I feel like James you're saying that it's the little it's the little

23:20.480 --> 23:23.040
things like this little few moments that didn't quite go their way.

23:23.040 --> 23:26.480
I feel like at this level of play, that's the deal breaker.

23:26.480 --> 23:28.380
That's what makes you not a consistent team.

23:28.380 --> 23:31.880
That's those small things are a much bigger deal.

23:31.880 --> 23:32.520
Right?

23:32.520 --> 23:33.980
There's consistency.

23:33.980 --> 23:35.680
Sometimes you make mistakes at the low.

23:35.680 --> 23:37.360
Like you see it everywhere.

23:37.360 --> 23:40.320
You know, first killer in San Diego,

23:40.320 --> 23:41.600
the backboard touches.

23:41.600 --> 23:43.280
Great players can make mistakes.

23:43.280 --> 23:46.200
I think what really debilitated Gen G

23:46.200 --> 23:48.600
is that they were consistently making

23:48.600 --> 23:51.040
those game losing mistakes in those really

23:51.040 --> 23:52.800
need to win moments.

23:52.800 --> 24:01.800
And so, you know, that that was the big problem, especially I think the one play that really defined it was that, you know, the zero second goal from Bora, it looked like there was a possibility

24:01.800 --> 24:10.500
to get that ball either to the corner or be in a position to 50 that down to the ground, giving up that game when completely changes the trajectory of that series.

24:10.500 --> 24:14.200
And so for Genji, it's a tough call because they keep getting close.

24:14.200 --> 24:16.300
They show flashes of brilliance.

24:16.300 --> 24:19.800
They show that this team can win and can compete with the top dogs.

24:19.800 --> 24:23.260
But when they keep making those mistakes in these big series,

24:23.260 --> 24:26.580
when they have to win, you wonder how many lives left

24:26.580 --> 24:27.380
are you going to have?

24:27.380 --> 24:29.460
How much longer do you stick with the project?

24:29.460 --> 24:31.940
And now they're going to be faced with some big questions

24:31.940 --> 24:33.140
heading into the LCQ.

24:33.140 --> 24:36.300
Yeah, the answer to how many lives you have left, for them,

24:36.300 --> 24:38.100
at least very clearly, is one.

24:38.100 --> 24:40.660
So we'll see how they do in the LCQ.

24:40.660 --> 24:42.060
Do they make a roster change or not?

24:42.060 --> 24:43.860
We'll find out here as the season progresses.

24:43.860 --> 24:44.860
Let's talk about the other two matches

24:44.860 --> 24:47.020
that they shop a Fire Rebellion versus Flo.

24:47.020 --> 24:52.020
We were not certain of where this was going to go, but it went very cleanly one direction

24:52.020 --> 24:53.020
or a billion, popping off.

24:53.020 --> 24:58.020
Yeah, a lot of questions there, you know, Foot had earned a lot of credit in the past

24:58.020 --> 24:59.020
two regionals.

24:59.020 --> 25:04.020
How good were they going to be in North America while they ran into the buzz saw with Shopify

25:04.020 --> 25:05.020
rebellion?

25:05.020 --> 25:11.020
Game one was their best game, and then they only scored one goal in game two, and after

25:11.020 --> 25:13.020
that, Shopify absolutely shut them out.

25:13.020 --> 25:16.020
It was an outscoring of them nine to three.

25:16.020 --> 25:18.020
So, chop off our rebellion.

25:18.020 --> 25:21.020
I wouldn't say dominated, but comfortable, I think,

25:21.020 --> 25:23.020
is the word I've used for it.

25:23.020 --> 25:25.020
You know, it didn't really feel like they had to work super hard.

25:25.020 --> 25:28.020
They were just winning everything it felt like this.

25:28.020 --> 25:32.020
Yeah, you know, it started with Gofer getting that game two goal,

25:32.020 --> 25:33.020
because he kind of was shaky.

25:33.020 --> 25:36.020
If you look at how foot played in that game one,

25:36.020 --> 25:38.020
they were very fast in the ball.

25:38.020 --> 25:39.020
I was on the cast.

25:39.020 --> 25:41.020
We talked a lot about adjusting speed.

25:41.020 --> 25:44.020
Their second man challenges were just really good, much better.

25:44.020 --> 25:48.580
much better. But then as Rebellion got comfortable and as foot started making mistakes in the game

25:48.580 --> 25:54.660
started getting away from them, they started slowing down. Nick deal was more open for Rebellion.

25:54.660 --> 25:59.540
And then they were able to, there's that top place. Like these are normally contested.

25:59.540 --> 26:03.700
They weren't contested. And when you give rebellion a free space in the midfield,

26:03.700 --> 26:05.700
it's like signing a death warrant. You can't do that.

26:06.740 --> 26:10.180
Well, we'll have an opportunity to bounce back against Dignitas, but that they get

26:10.180 --> 26:15.380
get through them. They got to go through SSG baby the hottest team in the tournament right

26:15.380 --> 26:21.620
now. I got I think a 26 gold differential across the tournament. They've scored more than their

26:21.620 --> 26:28.980
opponents. I mean, you look at SSG. SSG has just been in prime form. This is what you want

26:28.980 --> 26:33.460
to see if you are a space station gaming fan coming out of your first pro fan. I'll see

26:33.460 --> 26:37.780
it in like two minutes because it was it was good, but it wasn't as good as you

26:37.780 --> 26:42.980
wanted it to be come Sunday or you want them to be able to push this series to six or seven

26:43.540 --> 26:49.060
couldn't do that and it's unfortunate because now they're in a tough spot but they do have their

26:49.060 --> 26:53.700
lives in their hands we can talk about that a little bit later but in terms of this series

26:53.700 --> 26:59.860
space station gaming just it felt like every time vertus pro got a full hold ssg would just hit

26:59.860 --> 27:04.740
him with a counter punch score super quickly maybe set up a kickoff play now without giving

27:04.740 --> 27:08.580
up some of their own, Vertus were really good on kickoffs here and there, but when it came

27:08.580 --> 27:14.660
down to stretch, that pressure, a guy off ball like Diaz forcing a bump playing high,

27:14.660 --> 27:19.380
reveal playing again another ball to where he just planted double mid for his teammate.

27:19.380 --> 27:23.020
And even some big pressure where Zach would move up field as third man with no boost,

27:23.020 --> 27:25.180
had no intention of going for the ball.

27:25.180 --> 27:29.020
All these things just completely threw off Vertus, pros read of the game and put

27:29.020 --> 27:34.260
them in uncomfortable spots and SSG took advantage every single time that's used.

27:34.740 --> 27:41.420
They are so strong right now sitting and tied for first place with Shopify rebellion better result in this tournament

27:41.420 --> 27:47.920
Most likely gonna just be the world championships or excuse me be the Paris major number one seed for North America

27:47.920 --> 27:54.020
So still lots to play for here. Even if it's not the tickets to Paris is both of those teams have already punched their ticket

27:54.020 --> 27:58.000
We got two spots left to secure foot energy in Virtus Pro

27:58.000 --> 28:01.500
The teams are still alive for it and we will talk about it here in just a little bit

28:01.500 --> 28:03.060
Well, is this the best spot?

28:03.060 --> 28:04.140
No, we're gonna talk about it later, right?

28:04.140 --> 28:06.500
Yeah, it's, you're the host wave.

28:06.500 --> 28:07.500
I know, it's on me, man.

28:07.500 --> 28:08.500
You tell me, man.

28:08.500 --> 28:09.340
Somewhere.

28:09.340 --> 28:10.500
That's about my pink ring.

28:10.500 --> 28:11.340
Oh, wow.

28:11.340 --> 28:12.180
We'll run into it.

28:12.180 --> 28:13.180
You know, loud on this one.

28:13.180 --> 28:16.540
So, the base, the basically the stakes are,

28:16.540 --> 28:18.660
Virtus Pro has to win the Major

28:18.660 --> 28:20.860
and they need to make sure that they beat NRG

28:20.860 --> 28:23.340
and Flit also has to not make it to top four,

28:23.340 --> 28:24.180
I believe so.

28:24.180 --> 28:26.860
No, so no, this situation is simply,

28:26.860 --> 28:29.060
they just have to win because NRG and Flit

28:29.060 --> 28:30.900
are tied in points right now.

28:30.900 --> 28:37.500
If Virtus.Pro knocks out NRG top six, then they guarantee that if they win, they'll tie on points.

28:37.500 --> 28:39.380
And we play, I'm pretty sure we play a tiebreaker match.

28:39.380 --> 28:40.300
We play a tiebreaker, yes.

28:40.300 --> 28:42.500
NRG and Virtus.Pro again, following the broadcast.

28:42.500 --> 28:44.500
So that would be what's up.

28:44.500 --> 28:49.140
So that match will be, that match will be for all the marbles as to who is going to Paris.

28:49.140 --> 28:54.380
It's just a question of what sea are they for the rest of the teams here as we continue forward.

28:54.380 --> 28:59.980
Let's talk about a little bit of the rest of the globe before we lock back into North America here for the remainder of our show.

28:59.980 --> 29:02.540
Cause lots of fascinating results here happen around the world.

29:02.540 --> 29:04.140
James, let's talk about Mina.

29:04.140 --> 29:06.500
What has happened over there? The Falcons are out.

29:06.500 --> 29:11.060
Yeah. So Falcons were actually in a relatively similar situation to Virtus Pro

29:11.060 --> 29:12.100
where they had to win.

29:12.100 --> 29:14.380
They had to beat Twisted Minds, then win the Grand Finals,

29:14.380 --> 29:17.980
then beat Twisted Minds again in a tiebreaker match for the Major,

29:17.980 --> 29:20.500
I believe, as was at the stakes.

29:20.500 --> 29:23.300
And everyone was thinking maybe Team Falcons could do it.

29:23.300 --> 29:28.460
It went to game seven, but Twisted Minds got the job done.

29:28.460 --> 29:35.140
They beat team Falcons and will be at the major Falcons still likely will be at worlds. We'll have to wait and see

29:35.940 --> 29:41.380
But this was a stunning result team Falcons have been a staple out of Mina

29:41.380 --> 29:48.980
They've been so dominant for so long, but right after the world championship team Falcons second place pretty good result second place

29:49.740 --> 29:53.840
Announced that they are going to replace TRK with draw Lee. It's stunned

29:53.840 --> 29:59.240
every button you even at the major I tried asking TRK you know what did he

29:59.240 --> 30:03.120
think about it one word how did he feel didn't even want to talk about it so you

30:03.120 --> 30:08.320
can tell it was a sore spot it's stuck so TRK out there twisted mind you've been

30:08.320 --> 30:13.640
the perpetual second-place team and Mina they stepped up and knocked out

30:13.640 --> 30:20.480
Falcons TRK kids his revenge gets the last laugh and you know team Falcons

30:20.480 --> 30:24.160
They got rid of TRK, TRK, got rid of Falcons.

30:24.160 --> 30:26.080
Yeah, it's so true.

30:26.080 --> 30:28.040
Yeah, it's making a good case.

30:28.040 --> 30:30.760
Make another world champion, a multi-regional world

30:30.760 --> 30:31.760
champion like Turbo.

30:31.760 --> 30:33.560
That's all I'm waiting for.

30:33.560 --> 30:34.560
Imagine, imagine.

30:34.560 --> 30:36.360
No, and incredible too that it matched

30:36.360 --> 30:37.200
those that consequential.

30:37.200 --> 30:39.760
We got gameplay that was as impressive as it was.

30:39.760 --> 30:41.760
It went all the way to game seven so close.

30:41.760 --> 30:43.040
But twist of mind, it's do survive.

30:43.040 --> 30:46.240
And then move on to the finals where still here,

30:46.240 --> 30:47.840
I mean, as it was on the line,

30:47.840 --> 30:51.440
was the number one seed for Mina,

30:51.440 --> 30:53.320
Twisted Minds already would have that spot.

30:53.320 --> 30:54.480
Twisted Minds trying to take it from them

30:54.480 --> 30:56.520
and take it from them, they did.

30:56.520 --> 30:58.400
Yeah, I mean, there's that of course,

30:58.400 --> 31:01.060
but then there's also something a little bit of pressure

31:01.060 --> 31:03.360
that R8 is finally experiencing

31:03.360 --> 31:07.000
because you look at them and you see a new team,

31:07.000 --> 31:09.680
a new story coming in and okay,

31:09.680 --> 31:10.800
now they make the major,

31:10.800 --> 31:13.240
but of course every team wants to make

31:13.240 --> 31:14.800
that world championship.

31:14.800 --> 31:16.640
And a win here would have given them

31:16.640 --> 31:20.160
a big point boost because now Falcons out of control,

31:20.160 --> 31:22.320
they don't get to earn any more points this season.

31:22.320 --> 31:25.560
So again, if RH can beat Twisted Minds here,

31:25.560 --> 31:27.880
they get that extra points for winning the regional,

31:27.880 --> 31:31.280
which make their lives in Paris a little easier

31:31.280 --> 31:32.360
in terms of what they would have to do

31:32.360 --> 31:34.000
to secure the world spot.

31:34.000 --> 31:36.960
Since they lose here and Twisted Minds show up

31:36.960 --> 31:40.680
and show us that we are the top dogs of this region,

31:40.680 --> 31:44.280
now RH job in Paris is going to be so much tougher.

31:44.280 --> 31:46.840
I believe they have to at least make the finals.

31:46.840 --> 31:49.960
If they want to eclipse the world's points from Falcons.

31:49.960 --> 31:50.800
Yeah.

31:50.800 --> 31:52.080
It's got to be a tough journey.

31:52.080 --> 31:54.440
So even though Falcons have fallen short

31:54.440 --> 31:57.320
and definitely more short than their expectations,

31:57.320 --> 32:00.000
I would say that they're not out of the world's

32:00.000 --> 32:01.200
conversation just yet.

32:01.200 --> 32:03.760
It's going to be a lot more entertaining for sure.

32:03.760 --> 32:04.600
Yeah, for sure.

32:04.600 --> 32:06.400
It'll be, we'll really look at those world's points

32:06.400 --> 32:08.920
a little bit and we'll reconfirm what you're saying here.

32:08.920 --> 32:10.520
That it will be important for the Falcons

32:10.520 --> 32:11.680
or it will be important for R8

32:11.680 --> 32:13.560
to have an incredible result.

32:13.560 --> 32:18.200
But at the same time, sorry to hop in real quick, team Falcons made top four, almost beat

32:18.200 --> 32:22.440
the eventual winners. So right, they've got that in them. They do for sure. For sure.

32:22.440 --> 32:26.200
Yeah, we can, we can see crazy things from aria. Let's talk, let's talk about OCE here

32:26.200 --> 32:31.080
Nazca's been, there's been stories in every single region. This one came down to the

32:31.080 --> 32:36.040
grand finals. Oh man. Take me to the land down under. Look at the game seven with

32:36.040 --> 32:42.120
power and the bulldogs, the canada bulldogs who were in the Paris major conversation

32:42.120 --> 32:44.800
And for a lot of people who didn't watch OCE,

32:44.800 --> 32:46.520
they didn't even know who this team was.

32:46.520 --> 32:48.520
But if you haven't been watching, you knew.

32:48.520 --> 32:51.760
Caleb, Hunter, Kaka, you knew what they could bring to the table,

32:51.760 --> 32:54.400
because they've been in the region for so long.

32:54.400 --> 32:58.880
And again, even winning in Open, I believe, in Open 5,

32:58.880 --> 33:01.840
this pair is open split.

33:01.840 --> 33:04.880
Now, trying to get their way through power.

33:04.880 --> 33:06.800
But again, we saw power in Boston.

33:06.800 --> 33:08.440
We knew for a power, we were capable of.

33:08.440 --> 33:10.440
This one was a great series going.

33:10.440 --> 33:15.760
Both teams just trained for power take two bulldogs take two good go six you think power

33:15.760 --> 33:20.280
maybe they could close it out bulldog say no cocky with a double straight down to the corner.

33:20.280 --> 33:24.640
I mean come on this is what you'd love to see when you're watching OC you never know where

33:24.640 --> 33:28.080
it's going to go sometimes but you just happen to be alone for the ride and then

33:28.080 --> 33:34.640
of course which game seven and back and forth in that game as well but power ended up

33:34.640 --> 33:40.080
getting the job done that goal super does it and you think okay power they make it

33:40.080 --> 33:47.040
to the finals, but you cannot forget about wild card arguably the best team to come out

33:47.040 --> 33:52.440
of OCE and international competition getting in top six at the world championship last

33:52.440 --> 33:56.520
year. And man, they have to they showed their stuff when it came down to it.

33:56.520 --> 34:02.520
I feel like that wild card logo might as well be a crown King Torso. He's he's always

34:02.520 --> 34:08.720
there for OCE. The longevity on him is insane. But wild card power, the Bulldogs, they

34:08.720 --> 34:09.680
They were in a three-way race.

34:09.680 --> 34:11.960
It was a winner-take-all series.

34:11.960 --> 34:15.440
Everything coming down to this final series,

34:15.440 --> 34:18.720
and man, Wildcard stepped up under pressure.

34:18.720 --> 34:20.240
And you could never doubt that Torsous

34:20.240 --> 34:21.720
was going to make a try for it, right?

34:21.720 --> 34:23.000
He misses the last, man.

34:23.000 --> 34:24.680
He said, hang on.

34:24.680 --> 34:25.920
I got to get back.

34:25.920 --> 34:27.040
Ain't done quite yet.

34:27.040 --> 34:28.760
Boy, didn't show out in that last open.

34:28.760 --> 34:29.760
So good for him.

34:29.760 --> 34:31.640
Happy to see him back on the live stage.

34:31.640 --> 34:33.440
Powered tough break.

34:33.440 --> 34:34.080
But that's OK.

34:34.080 --> 34:35.280
We know you're not done either.

34:35.280 --> 34:36.720
But it was, yeah.

34:36.720 --> 34:39.080
Last time I saw a wild card in France,

34:39.080 --> 34:42.240
they had one of the best results in the history of OCE.

34:42.240 --> 34:45.520
They also got crowned honorary Frenchman

34:45.520 --> 34:46.840
by the French crowd.

34:46.840 --> 34:50.480
So maybe that was continuing on here.

34:50.480 --> 34:52.200
OCE was down bam wave.

34:52.200 --> 34:54.640
Like prior to that top six, a lot of people were,

34:54.640 --> 34:56.800
I mean, you know, it's no surprise

34:56.800 --> 34:59.080
they got the spot taken from them

34:59.080 --> 35:02.520
because OCE traditionally has just been doing so poorly

35:02.520 --> 35:04.240
at these international lands.

35:04.240 --> 35:05.440
But wild card, like you said,

35:05.440 --> 35:08.800
that top six so needed for the region.

35:08.800 --> 35:11.680
And now I'm gonna be going back to the world championship.

35:11.680 --> 35:13.920
We'll see if they can follow up that performance.

35:13.920 --> 35:15.640
But you see how close the race was.

35:15.640 --> 35:18.440
Power, Bulldogs, Wildcard, all right there.

35:18.440 --> 35:19.560
The winner take all scenario.

35:19.560 --> 35:21.520
You just gotta out place everybody else.

35:21.520 --> 35:23.880
But now with OC only having a spot

35:23.880 --> 35:27.520
that actually can help them with the LCQ

35:27.520 --> 35:29.800
because with the other region

35:29.800 --> 35:32.120
that they're facing, South America,

35:32.120 --> 35:34.960
you have to take the average of the two teams there.

35:34.960 --> 35:40.580
same for any team or region that has multiple teams. OCE sitting in that fourth spot with

35:40.580 --> 35:49.420
five points. So if OCE, if Wildcard can outplace the average of South America and APAC and

35:49.420 --> 35:56.380
SSA don't make a run, then OCE will have an LCQ spot along with Europe, Mina and North

35:56.380 --> 36:02.140
America. So that is a big thing to watch in this next regional. Even if South America

36:02.140 --> 36:04.820
and OCE don't go far, should really pay attention

36:04.820 --> 36:06.260
to where they place.

36:06.260 --> 36:09.340
I mean, Chiefs, there'd be something poetic about OCE

36:09.340 --> 36:11.540
being, I think that the first region in the history of the game

36:11.540 --> 36:14.260
to lose a spot at the World Championship for them to come back

36:14.260 --> 36:16.740
and immediately earn that spot back.

36:16.740 --> 36:18.820
We're going to make you regret taking this away from us.

36:18.820 --> 36:20.660
We would have three teams here if this was not this way.

36:20.660 --> 36:22.180
They're trying to make that happen right now.

36:22.180 --> 36:23.740
And they're going to, all eyes

36:23.740 --> 36:26.340
are going to be on power looking forward there.

36:26.340 --> 36:28.100
Now, the World Championship contenders,

36:28.100 --> 36:30.420
you can see with OCE, it is tied at 78 APs.

36:30.420 --> 36:35.220
I believe wildcard will effectively secure that world championship spot in Paris.

36:35.220 --> 36:38.020
That doesn't have major points just yet.

36:38.020 --> 36:41.460
But this is how things look so far for the world championship.

36:41.460 --> 36:44.340
We were talking about it a little bit. Amina there does all right.

36:44.460 --> 36:48.700
They need to get to the grand finals to be able to take that spot from Falcons.

36:48.700 --> 36:52.580
Falcons had such a good first split of the season that despite missing out on Paris,

36:52.580 --> 36:55.660
they are almost guaranteed locked for the world championship.

36:55.940 --> 36:57.940
Yeah. So I mean, you talk about that.

36:57.940 --> 37:05.300
talk about the OCE conversation with wildcard. There's going to be like again for R8 getting

37:05.300 --> 37:10.580
to the finals is going to be important. Even in North America for that conversation, we're

37:10.580 --> 37:14.500
talking about points and pairs and things like that for foot. Depending on how far they go,

37:14.500 --> 37:17.780
it will depend on how much work they have to do. If they want to get past Virtus.pro and

37:17.780 --> 37:22.740
not have to play LCQ, there's just like so many of these close conversations and we're only

37:22.740 --> 37:27.460
talking about half of the world right now because that's the piece that finished their

37:27.460 --> 37:31.700
open so it makes things so exciting at the stage of the game.

37:31.700 --> 37:35.860
Quick correction from the people in the back, keep me honest here, the graph we just showed

37:35.860 --> 37:40.060
you that has well-guarded 70 points includes the four minimum points they get for already

37:40.060 --> 37:41.060
going to Paris.

37:41.060 --> 37:46.020
So if they were to finish last in Paris, they would actually play a tiebreaker to

37:46.020 --> 37:48.340
go to the World Championship against Power.

37:48.340 --> 37:52.060
So they just need a last place finish, but that is not, they don't just show

37:52.060 --> 37:54.860
show up and play one match and make cool you get the one extra point or something like that for being there.

37:54.860 --> 37:55.860
That's not how that's going to work.

37:55.860 --> 38:01.860
Well, quickly, guys, we got we got six minutes and 55 seconds before we get into the remainder of our North American regional here.

38:01.860 --> 38:06.960
North America, we know, we know that it is four of five teams.

38:06.960 --> 38:14.660
We know two of the teams who are going to the Worlds is our, is North, how do we feel about North America's representation?

38:14.660 --> 38:17.860
We've watched, we just watched Mena, we just watched OCE gameplay.

38:17.860 --> 38:20.360
We've been watching Europe on their weekends as well.

38:20.360 --> 38:25.360
achieve. We'll start with you here. Are we sending our best?

38:25.360 --> 38:30.760
I think right now it definitely is. I think NRG will do just fine like they always do.

38:30.760 --> 38:33.760
Always a great chance for first killer to make a deep run into major. But I want to see

38:33.760 --> 38:38.000
space station gaming. I mean they've looked so good. Like I said earlier in the show

38:38.000 --> 38:43.280
that they are in prime form. And I want to see them in the major against the best

38:43.280 --> 38:46.400
in the world. That's what I'm looking for.

38:46.400 --> 38:51.900
Guys power ranking if you're the powering North America right now. Who is the number one team in North America?

38:51.900 --> 38:54.500
I think you got to say shop fire rebellion

39:00.120 --> 39:06.240
I will say there's two lenses that you could use there's two lenses that you can use if you're talking about

39:06.600 --> 39:10.220
International competition which team do you think is gonna place the best?

39:10.220 --> 39:15.700
I would still probably say energy, but when if you're talking strictly regional competition

39:15.700 --> 39:19.860
Just this week in regional competition, I think Shopify is the best.

39:19.860 --> 39:27.260
I honestly shockingly think NRG is number four behind foot right now because of those back-to-back losses.

39:27.260 --> 39:33.300
I think it's Shopify, SSG, and then foot has, because they've beaten NRG consistently, I put it there.

39:33.300 --> 39:36.140
But the margin is so small that it can flip.

39:36.140 --> 39:37.140
They put it here, right?

39:37.140 --> 39:38.140
They bought it.

39:38.140 --> 39:39.140
They bought it.

39:39.140 --> 39:40.140
They bought it.

39:40.140 --> 39:41.140
They put it here.

39:41.140 --> 39:42.140
They put it here.

39:42.140 --> 39:44.140
I want to get in here.

39:44.140 --> 39:45.980
I said they're number one internationally.

39:45.980 --> 39:47.220
I still believe in them internationally,

39:47.220 --> 39:49.820
but I just think that regionally right now,

39:49.820 --> 39:52.020
we have not been seeing NRG down there.

39:52.020 --> 39:53.340
Yeah, that's what you got.

39:53.340 --> 39:55.100
Okay, so to answer the question,

39:55.100 --> 39:56.820
are we sending our best?

39:56.820 --> 39:58.020
Obviously by the end of the day,

39:58.020 --> 39:58.980
we'll have the answer.

39:58.980 --> 40:00.900
I think that question is yes.

40:00.900 --> 40:04.980
Will it matter is the thing that remains to be seen

40:04.980 --> 40:08.100
and that is what needs to be proven at this point.

40:08.100 --> 40:10.380
I cannot confidently go into an international competition

40:10.380 --> 40:11.500
with North America right now

40:11.500 --> 40:13.140
and say that they're gonna do some damage.

40:13.140 --> 40:18.020
We're on the show in Rebellion 1 and LJ got our camera in this broadcast and said,

40:18.020 --> 40:22.100
I think NA is going to do really good against you this year. You saw my face. I look shocked

40:22.100 --> 40:26.420
because I can't believe it. Every time we've seen North America so far in the international

40:26.420 --> 40:31.860
stage, you have one team who looks much better above the rest. And then everybody else is

40:31.860 --> 40:36.660
kind of struggling to catch up. We need to see that change before we can hop on the train.

40:36.660 --> 40:40.340
I want to quickly come back to what you were saying at Chief's here about

40:40.340 --> 40:47.620
We're talking about a number one team in North America, we are not even talking about SSG and like they are, they are in this tournament

40:48.180 --> 40:54.660
Bodying teams, right? Bodying teams in ways that their competitors the other top four North America are not bodying similar competitors

40:54.900 --> 40:57.060
When they're winning they're winning by a landslide

40:57.140 --> 41:02.980
There's a there's a hunger to the way this SSG players attack the pitch right now and say as long as there's five minutes

41:03.060 --> 41:06.500
As there's there's there's our time of the clock cool. I'm trying to score. I'm trying to score

41:06.500 --> 41:13.180
There is a there's a there's a ceiling power rankings. There's a ceiling for SSG that I don't see from the other teams right now

41:13.180 --> 41:15.860
Just as far as hunger and raw mechanics out there

41:15.860 --> 41:20.100
And if there's one team that if they can just get the mental kind of clicked in there

41:20.100 --> 41:26.220
We might see Paris major champions SSG. I'm just saying they're they have everything they need if they can just figure out

41:26.220 --> 41:29.440
The brain game and they're they're making a real good argument

41:29.440 --> 41:33.600
I mean they're playing well and honestly you come out with a big win here

41:33.600 --> 41:35.600
you going to Paris winning

41:35.600 --> 41:38.600
Boken six? Sure. I'll give

41:38.600 --> 41:39.600
them their flowers. Go make a

41:39.600 --> 41:41.600
top eight. Show it to me.

41:41.600 --> 41:42.600
We'll see. We'll see if they

41:42.600 --> 41:43.600
can get it done. Folks, we got

41:43.600 --> 41:45.600
three minutes before kickoff.

41:45.600 --> 41:46.600
So let's start talking about

41:46.600 --> 41:47.600
the matches moving on here.

41:47.600 --> 41:49.600
Folks, if you've got family and

41:49.600 --> 41:50.600
friends who maybe don't play

41:50.600 --> 41:51.600
rock league, but you'd like

41:51.600 --> 41:52.600
to get them into it and have

41:52.600 --> 41:53.600
them have a viewing experience.

41:53.600 --> 41:54.600
It's more similar to what

41:54.600 --> 41:55.600
they're used to. Check out

41:55.600 --> 41:56.600
the RLCS crowd camp.

41:56.600 --> 41:58.600
Twitch.TV.Such RLE sports

41:58.600 --> 41:59.600
different way to watch with

41:59.600 --> 42:00.600
the camera on the sideline

42:00.600 --> 42:01.600
the whole time. Maybe a

42:01.600 --> 42:02.600
little bit more familiar to

42:02.600 --> 42:09.040
to sports viewers. We've got $21,000 and 18 points on the line those 18 points

42:09.040 --> 42:14.000
very relevant to Virtus. Pro and as well to SSG Shopify rebellion trying to secure

42:14.000 --> 42:18.520
that number one seed here today. We'll see who gets the big purse and the title

42:18.520 --> 42:21.480
of North American regional champion before our broadcast is over. Five

42:21.480 --> 42:26.040
matches on the day. A potential sixth if Virtus. Pro can force a tiebreaker

42:26.040 --> 42:29.720
we'll have dignitas versus foot. Virtus. Pro versus energy space station

42:29.720 --> 42:34.880
Shopify waiting for our winners here folks will play him in that order as we

42:34.880 --> 42:37.760
just discussed it there with the grand finals waiting on the end.

42:38.200 --> 42:44.880
Dignitas versus foot foot had lots of lots of energy, lots of momentum behind

42:44.880 --> 42:46.960
them coming into yesterday.

42:47.160 --> 42:51.240
And then it fell flat a little bit in that upper bracket James where they

42:51.240 --> 42:52.680
only managed to get one game.

42:53.080 --> 42:55.720
It's true, but it's the Shopify rebellion who are the number one

42:55.720 --> 42:57.040
team in a right now.

42:57.040 --> 43:00.840
So I think you got to take it with a great assault, rebellion,

43:00.840 --> 43:02.200
looking amazing foot.

43:02.200 --> 43:05.440
I can't forget as well, back-to-back victories against Energy.

43:05.440 --> 43:07.120
I feel like I'm a broken record.

43:07.120 --> 43:10.440
But one thing that they did so well against NRG

43:10.440 --> 43:15.360
was they did not give up any free bounces anywhere.

43:15.360 --> 43:16.680
Whether it was off the ceiling,

43:16.680 --> 43:18.440
Beast Mode trying to go for ceiling doubles

43:18.440 --> 43:19.800
or trying to go for the backboard,

43:19.800 --> 43:21.880
even go for the ground doubles anywhere,

43:21.880 --> 43:25.080
it seemed like there was always a foot player there

43:25.080 --> 43:27.460
to deny the bounce off of any surface.

43:27.460 --> 43:29.280
They were playing so fast.

43:29.280 --> 43:32.440
And so I don't think we'll see Bora and Evo,

43:32.440 --> 43:33.700
who's also highly mechanical,

43:33.700 --> 43:36.480
be able to get some of those crazy solo plays.

43:36.480 --> 43:38.360
You saw Bora with the top plays.

43:38.360 --> 43:40.040
I think Foot is gonna do a great job

43:40.040 --> 43:41.560
of shutting that down.

43:41.560 --> 43:45.000
And then also the precision shooting

43:45.000 --> 43:46.480
and also the confidence from Justin

43:46.480 --> 43:49.640
has been higher than I've seen it in half a decade.

43:49.640 --> 43:52.420
He has been slotting shots,

43:52.420 --> 43:58.980
going through these individual effort plays that take a lot of confidence to even go for.

43:58.980 --> 44:00.140
And he's been amazing.

44:00.140 --> 44:04.540
So I feel like Foote is a heavy favorite in this match with Dignitas, those strong team.

44:04.540 --> 44:09.460
I think if Foote doesn't make a run and ends up having to play in the LCK, this would probably

44:09.460 --> 44:14.140
be the LCK Grand Final if I had to bet.

44:14.140 --> 44:18.740
There's a lot of really good veteran presence on Foote.

44:18.740 --> 44:19.940
And I think I'm with James.

44:19.940 --> 44:21.620
I think that's why I have to give him the edge.

44:21.620 --> 44:26.340
I like the raw mechanical ability on dig,

44:26.340 --> 44:29.020
but I don't think it's good enough to break down

44:29.020 --> 44:31.660
what I think should be a pretty solid defense.

44:31.660 --> 44:34.140
I mean, all those guys on foot have seen everything

44:34.140 --> 44:36.420
under the sun at this point, right?

44:36.420 --> 44:38.700
Like, what, what's big gonna do, right?

44:40.060 --> 44:41.380
No, he's right.

44:41.380 --> 44:42.220
He's right.

44:42.220 --> 44:43.980
I mean, this, the way this looks is like,

44:44.900 --> 44:46.660
I'm letting you know, I'm going for it, by the way.

44:46.660 --> 44:50.580
It just feels like, they just, like Michael said,

44:50.580 --> 44:54.740
there's nothing that they haven't seen and they haven't had to play against

44:54.740 --> 44:58.260
in the RLCS ecosystem. I just feel like they're going to take this year pretty

44:58.260 --> 45:02.100
handled. James I got to go foot as well. I

45:02.100 --> 45:05.380
think they've been looking so good. You asked if we're in a sending their best

45:05.380 --> 45:08.340
to the major. I think the answer to that is yes

45:08.340 --> 45:12.180
and foot is part of that group. All our board is really good and maybe we're

45:12.180 --> 45:14.340
to give them a little bit of a boost here with cast or kirsten on the

45:14.340 --> 45:17.380
desk. I also got foot on this one. Oh no we've done it.

45:17.380 --> 45:21.420
I think Dignitas, like they, they, they take, they made, they walked through Gen G.

45:21.420 --> 45:24.140
The reason they, I think they were able to walk through Gen G so cleanly and so

45:24.140 --> 45:28.300
effortlessly is those, that consistent inconsistency from Gen G.

45:28.300 --> 45:31.900
And especially at the point of contact of shooting, constantly hitting crossbars,

45:31.900 --> 45:35.220
constantly off the posts, I don't think, what's going to have that problem here

45:35.220 --> 45:37.180
today, Dignitas going to have a very different ball game.

45:37.460 --> 45:38.620
They're the favorites on the desk.

45:38.660 --> 45:40.580
They're the favorites in chat as well.

45:40.620 --> 45:43.500
They're potentially going to be one of the number one teams in North

45:43.500 --> 45:44.540
America coming out of this.

45:44.540 --> 45:49.580
Do they win a regional going into Paris going as rain regional champions?

45:49.580 --> 45:53.580
That road starts right here right now with a match against Diggatoss.

45:53.580 --> 45:55.100
They've played through Friday and Saturday.

45:55.100 --> 46:00.220
It's now a championship Sunday folks for the last time in 2036 in North America.

46:00.220 --> 46:01.020
Let's get into it.

46:01.020 --> 46:02.220
Diggatoss versus Flick.

46:04.620 --> 46:11.180
And they open sixes upon us, which means that the road to Paris is now getting closer to a conclusion.

46:11.180 --> 46:13.420
Two teams have booked their tickets.

46:13.420 --> 46:16.740
SSSG and SR respectively has to others contend,

46:16.740 --> 46:19.740
but Esports and control their own destiny.

46:19.740 --> 46:22.100
If they can get this win and then make the championship win,

46:22.100 --> 46:23.340
can they do it?

46:23.340 --> 46:25.060
Only time will tell.

46:25.060 --> 46:27.340
Game one, our mantle knife brought to you by Progressive.

46:27.340 --> 46:29.060
It's your boy, T-Base, up in the booth

46:29.060 --> 46:31.420
with a course the legend, James, brought himself.

46:31.420 --> 46:32.420
Let's get into it.

46:34.140 --> 46:34.980
T-Bots.

46:38.700 --> 46:39.700
Oh, we're T-Bots?

46:39.700 --> 46:41.780
OK, I like that.

46:41.780 --> 46:43.460
I don't like that.

46:43.460 --> 46:46.300
Yesterday, you know, it was fun, but this is the main course.

46:46.300 --> 46:48.180
And you talked about booking tickets.

46:48.180 --> 46:50.820
Well, the tickets to Paris for foot

46:50.820 --> 46:52.660
are right on the other side of Dignitas.

46:52.660 --> 46:56.660
So this is a big moment for them to get ready.

46:56.660 --> 46:59.060
It's a defense aura.

46:59.060 --> 47:01.660
He had some highlight plays today working with Evo

47:01.660 --> 47:03.580
to get this first goal of the game.

47:03.580 --> 47:05.780
Dignitas on the board quickly.

47:05.780 --> 47:07.860
Yeah, Dignitas, you all talked about on the desk.

47:07.860 --> 47:10.100
They're not really playing for Paris right now.

47:10.100 --> 47:12.620
They're kind of just playing to show everybody, hey,

47:12.620 --> 47:13.820
we might not be there.

47:13.820 --> 47:15.060
We are the best of the rest.

47:15.060 --> 47:18.580
And if they're not half in one, maybe bad, open,

47:18.580 --> 47:20.140
in this road to Paris, maybe they

47:20.140 --> 47:22.660
will be the fourth best team or third best team making Paris.

47:22.660 --> 47:24.340
And you've got to give them credit, too,

47:24.340 --> 47:25.580
because they dismantled Gen G.

47:25.580 --> 47:27.060
Evo's been playing well with.

47:27.060 --> 47:28.860
And at Borah, we talked about yesterday, James.

47:28.860 --> 47:30.860
I mean, I think he's been one of the coming

47:30.860 --> 47:32.700
bright stars in North America.

47:32.700 --> 47:35.580
Certainly in such an inspiring story.

47:35.580 --> 47:40.460
And it literally sounded like they discovered him in twos

47:40.460 --> 47:43.020
and said, hey, do this in the RLCS.

47:43.020 --> 47:46.700
Bora, he did that in RLCS, and now a staple in the scene.

47:46.700 --> 47:48.460
Already a big impact in this game.

47:48.460 --> 47:53.100
You saw that beautiful pass over to Evo to set things up.

47:53.100 --> 47:55.780
And Bora, first touch around Kronik,

47:55.780 --> 47:58.220
who was attacking the backward.

47:58.220 --> 47:59.380
Gets it past Cheese as well.

47:59.380 --> 48:00.460
And a lovely 50.

48:00.460 --> 48:01.500
Bora's still going.

48:01.500 --> 48:03.260
Cheese has to panic clear it out,

48:03.260 --> 48:05.460
right in the hands of Evo.

48:05.460 --> 48:08.460
He built the Andrews with the ball as well. Super mechanical.

48:08.460 --> 48:10.460
You never see him before, Chad.

48:10.460 --> 48:16.460
He's really special with one of the best, one of the most mechanical players, I should say, in North America.

48:16.460 --> 48:19.460
I've heard that from great players such as Dan himself.

48:19.460 --> 48:21.460
So look out for Evo.

48:21.460 --> 48:26.460
Evo making major already before this, Evo.

48:26.460 --> 48:30.460
One of those prodigies that you saw up and coming.

48:30.460 --> 48:33.460
Incredibly good at 1v1s as well.

48:33.460 --> 48:38.420
This is the most convincing, I think, a team that he's had in quite some time.

48:38.420 --> 48:43.260
Recept from Evo shut down, 5-up, won't have any support,

48:43.260 --> 48:46.780
Orro is demoed right behind him, 5-up goes for it, 50 to keep it in the court,

48:46.780 --> 48:49.020
but you're seeing more demos come out.

48:49.020 --> 48:53.140
She's trying to clear up some space in the midfield, Evo.

48:53.140 --> 48:54.940
And then you see a bump as well from Chronix,

48:54.940 --> 48:59.180
so much more physical gameplay from Foot gets him some breathing room.

48:59.180 --> 49:01.020
Yeah, and so far,

49:01.020 --> 49:07.220
Like zero shots registered as a team and we've seen this ball stuck in the orange half for a long time David tosses offense

49:11.900 --> 49:19.420
The confidence play from Justin sidewall double diver over the cheese with the redirect

49:21.180 --> 49:26.180
Beautifully done by foot you talked about how they had no shots. Well, they got one

49:27.660 --> 49:29.980
You're right about that. You're so in the money right there James, too

49:29.980 --> 49:32.180
It was the confidence Justin Saibol redirected.

49:32.180 --> 49:35.380
He's grabbed the mid-boost and he turned the field.

49:35.380 --> 49:37.820
He had full faith in Justin in that ball tool

49:37.820 --> 49:40.980
and that made all the difference with Taito.

49:40.980 --> 49:45.020
I mean, it's tough to get a perfect pass like that

49:45.020 --> 49:47.020
on the Saibol double.

49:47.020 --> 49:49.660
Those are those confidence plays I was talking about

49:49.660 --> 49:50.860
on the desk in the pre-show.

49:50.860 --> 49:54.100
T-Bates, Justin has had new life

49:54.100 --> 49:55.980
breath into his career.

49:55.980 --> 49:57.900
He's played at such a high level.

49:59.980 --> 50:04.220
Still refreshing to see but will it be enough to get past Tignitas in game one?

50:04.220 --> 50:08.820
There's a demo again from chronic Justin late flick cheese trying to get there

50:08.820 --> 50:13.780
But well defended by Evo who had to shut that play down and then Evo also gets in front of chronic as well

50:14.100 --> 50:18.500
Just to make him forced to go higher than he would like takes away any of them

50:18.500 --> 50:21.420
It's on that put head off that demo of that initial play by Justin

50:21.420 --> 50:25.780
I think you're out of my just isn't really showing everybody. Hey age is only a number

50:25.780 --> 50:27.940
Yeah, people need to stop.

50:27.940 --> 50:29.180
They can count his old men out.

50:29.180 --> 50:31.500
Can they get still ball?

50:31.500 --> 50:32.300
And so we're scared.

50:32.300 --> 50:33.660
Didn't retire either.

50:33.660 --> 50:36.340
Hey, I've been saying that.

50:36.340 --> 50:37.660
Good to keep going.

50:37.660 --> 50:40.020
Justin showing that gas in the tank,

50:40.020 --> 50:42.180
even if you think it might be a little bit,

50:42.180 --> 50:44.860
could start a whole new part of your career.

50:44.860 --> 50:49.180
Justin and Foot trying to take a two-digit toss,

50:49.180 --> 50:49.580
though.

50:49.580 --> 50:52.140
And this game didn't toss passing play out in the middle.

50:52.140 --> 50:53.380
Chronic had to break that up.

50:53.380 --> 50:54.840
5-up was right there for the shot.

50:58.340 --> 51:01.380
Mora, checking the back port.

51:01.380 --> 51:01.880
Hits pass.

51:01.880 --> 51:03.380
Chronic was trying to go for a bump.

51:03.380 --> 51:04.780
She does get a piece of that ball.

51:04.780 --> 51:07.340
And Chronic will dodge the bump attempt Evo put on.

51:07.340 --> 51:09.260
Now Chronic in one space.

51:09.260 --> 51:10.740
The flick is good!

51:10.740 --> 51:14.540
Chronic in the isolation play comes out on top.

51:14.540 --> 51:16.700
Exactly where you want Chronic to be at.

51:16.700 --> 51:17.860
Even going up against Evo.

51:17.860 --> 51:20.980
I mean, these are two great NA 1v1 players.

51:20.980 --> 51:23.340
Chronic the better this time around.

51:23.340 --> 51:26.220
Even though you just have to dive, right there has to have faith.

51:26.220 --> 51:27.640
And the five of them can get back,

51:27.640 --> 51:30.380
and Kronik does go far post like he did.

51:30.380 --> 51:31.420
That's not Kronik's problem.

51:31.420 --> 51:33.700
He has taken a leap for foot.

51:33.700 --> 51:36.740
Now, they got work to do.

51:36.740 --> 51:38.620
Justin, trying to get back to it.

51:38.620 --> 51:40.220
Five of them, there.

51:40.220 --> 51:42.660
Kronik with a 50.

51:42.660 --> 51:43.780
Kronik's staying behind the ball.

51:43.780 --> 51:45.020
Another 50 will kick wide.

51:45.020 --> 51:47.540
Justin picks up the mid-boost.

51:47.540 --> 51:49.700
Justin also making sure he can avoid Bora.

51:49.700 --> 51:51.500
Backboard play.

51:51.500 --> 51:54.300
The shot is awkwardly hit to the corner.

51:54.300 --> 51:57.100
You can see Foot try to scramble.

51:57.100 --> 51:58.460
Hoping to get back into play.

51:58.460 --> 52:00.780
That demo does help out quite a bit.

52:00.780 --> 52:04.300
Opening up some space to get the clear.

52:04.300 --> 52:06.380
Or trying to do what he does across.

52:06.380 --> 52:07.580
Little pass to Evo.

52:07.580 --> 52:09.140
And then he gets snuffed up by Cheese,

52:09.140 --> 52:11.420
which is so high up the ceiling all really.

52:11.420 --> 52:13.220
That's what Foot does, is really just attack.

52:13.220 --> 52:14.620
You don't give him much space to offer.

52:14.620 --> 52:17.300
Even Justin just pushing the envelope at the moment,

52:17.300 --> 52:18.100
even up by one.

52:18.100 --> 52:21.340
The pressure from Foot.

52:21.340 --> 52:24.140
Barg at that middle, Justin shutting it back down.

52:24.140 --> 52:26.580
Fyla has to kick it in reverse, but gets by one in the air.

52:26.580 --> 52:27.900
Gets a 50.

52:27.900 --> 52:28.980
This is up for Evo.

52:28.980 --> 52:31.300
Chronic trying to defend the shot.

52:31.300 --> 52:34.540
The pass was made, but it hits the ground,

52:34.540 --> 52:36.380
and that is game over.

52:36.380 --> 52:40.860
Dignitas getting beaten by one goal.

52:40.860 --> 52:43.860
Evo one goal, and it was a big goal, too, to open up.

52:43.860 --> 52:46.780
Right when we brought up that he had zero shots,

52:46.780 --> 52:48.300
of course they scored.

52:48.300 --> 52:49.980
I understand his caps are cursed now.

52:49.980 --> 52:52.900
It really is something that, I mean,

52:52.900 --> 52:55.180
it wasn't much of a cast, but still won.

52:55.180 --> 52:57.340
But I will say, Dignitas started strong.

52:57.340 --> 52:59.140
It was a great pass from Bora.

52:59.140 --> 53:01.020
I'm sure we'll see it on the highlights,

53:01.020 --> 53:04.100
but the individual effort was there from foot.

53:04.100 --> 53:06.660
Yes, they defended quite a bit in that first game, T-Bates,

53:06.660 --> 53:08.940
but the composure was still there

53:08.940 --> 53:10.340
for the entirety of that game.

53:10.340 --> 53:14.020
That sidewall double pass was filthy from Justin.

53:14.020 --> 53:18.060
And then just to show you the well-rounded nature

53:18.060 --> 53:22.220
of this foot, Team Chronic is in that 1v1 situation

53:22.220 --> 53:24.060
and he gets that goal against,

53:24.060 --> 53:27.140
I think maybe the best defender on Dignitas as well.

53:27.140 --> 53:31.420
So really huge moments from all the players on foot.

53:31.420 --> 53:36.420
I think an important first win in forward foot.

53:36.460 --> 53:38.260
This is, I think the prototype

53:38.260 --> 53:40.180
of what you can make all these games.

53:40.180 --> 53:43.420
They had that one chance that they let Dignitas have

53:43.420 --> 53:44.260
off a great pass.

53:44.260 --> 53:46.980
That's the only goal they got all game.

53:46.980 --> 53:48.980
Meanwhile, Foot able to handle that pressure.

53:48.980 --> 53:51.860
You saw them also breaking up the pressure

53:51.860 --> 53:54.980
with some key demos of mid-game adjustment

53:54.980 --> 53:56.980
to be able to break out of that.

53:56.980 --> 54:00.260
And that's, I think, a confidence building win here for Foot.

54:00.260 --> 54:01.820
Oh, without question.

54:01.820 --> 54:03.900
And also, just looking at the post-game stats.

54:03.900 --> 54:07.100
Dignitas, they had a good amount of pressure.

54:07.100 --> 54:09.940
I wish we could see the percentage of what a ball was.

54:09.940 --> 54:11.940
But in saying that, though, they

54:11.940 --> 54:14.940
had zero demos to their name and the whole entire team.

54:14.940 --> 54:17.900
And that's something at this level that's an excuseable,

54:17.900 --> 54:20.460
especially when you have foot playing so much defense

54:20.460 --> 54:22.580
and that first bump in and a half of the game.

54:22.580 --> 54:24.660
But meanwhile, I have six demos to end.

54:24.660 --> 54:26.260
That's not even counting all the bumps that he had too.

54:26.260 --> 54:28.260
So, I can tell you, I might need to get a little more

54:28.260 --> 54:29.900
physical against this foot squad.

54:30.860 --> 54:33.020
Five up bumping just in a bit.

54:33.020 --> 54:34.700
Doesn't have much boost, chronic.

54:34.700 --> 54:35.860
And they're trying to get there for a 50,

54:35.860 --> 54:37.860
but five up dodges the bump and even gets

54:37.860 --> 54:39.460
an extra little touch.

54:39.460 --> 54:41.140
But this is a setup here for foot dumps

54:41.140 --> 54:43.860
or nice bump from Bora giving Evo some room.

54:43.860 --> 54:45.780
Evo dribbling around multiple players,

54:45.780 --> 54:48.780
backward pass is going to be broken up by cheese.

54:48.780 --> 54:53.460
But Evo doing well to even get that ball out.

54:53.460 --> 54:55.380
Look at like he's got his catering.

54:55.380 --> 54:57.860
This higher glider on the side wall.

54:57.860 --> 54:59.260
Trying to make something happen.

54:59.260 --> 55:01.700
Porto's right there from five, but Bora

55:01.700 --> 55:03.900
gets right back into Nikaton.

55:03.900 --> 55:06.700
Make sure that they keep this game's L-00

55:06.700 --> 55:08.820
for a little while longer.

55:08.820 --> 55:12.140
Evo cutting again past cheese and gets the mid boost.

55:12.140 --> 55:15.580
Evo with a chance to do some damage, gets the touch over,

55:15.580 --> 55:18.100
but no one was there to stop Bort Bora and five of them

55:18.100 --> 55:19.180
so far back.

55:22.540 --> 55:24.940
Oh, and they almost get punished by that too, James.

55:24.940 --> 55:25.780
I'm very surprised.

55:25.780 --> 55:27.940
It was clear Evo grabbed the mid boost.

55:27.940 --> 55:30.100
That was a clean beat, you expect?

55:30.100 --> 55:31.780
At least Bort especially to be somewhere

55:31.780 --> 55:32.620
there to help them in.

55:32.620 --> 55:34.780
And it almost ends up,

55:34.780 --> 55:35.620
leads to a counter attack.

55:35.620 --> 55:36.420
And ever since then,

55:36.420 --> 55:37.820
Fudge just had the possession.

55:39.500 --> 55:41.220
I would say a key moment.

55:41.220 --> 55:43.940
And then also you wonder if no one was there.

55:43.940 --> 55:46.340
Maybe Evo just could have gone for a solo play at least.

55:46.340 --> 55:48.700
You know, he has that ability.

55:48.700 --> 55:50.980
Instead, pass didn't connect to anyone.

55:50.980 --> 55:52.900
And now foot half possession.

55:52.900 --> 55:54.140
Intercept to go by five up.

55:54.140 --> 55:55.900
Cheese will poke it up.

55:55.900 --> 55:58.020
Try to stay behind it for a 50, but it's hit straight up

55:58.020 --> 55:58.620
again.

55:58.620 --> 56:00.500
Justin, just enough to get a pass off.

56:00.500 --> 56:03.340
Cheese, shot on target, but right at Evo.

56:03.340 --> 56:10.340
We're a wave-touch, rolls it up the corner.

56:10.340 --> 56:12.340
Evo is there for the shot.

56:12.340 --> 56:14.340
Saved a little touch from Evo.

56:14.340 --> 56:16.340
Actually helps just to take this to the corner.

56:16.340 --> 56:18.340
Oh.

56:18.340 --> 56:19.340
Which is five!

56:19.340 --> 56:20.340
Oh!

56:20.340 --> 56:21.340
For the double!

56:21.340 --> 56:24.340
It's all Justin!

56:24.340 --> 56:27.340
You can see it come from a mile away too, James.

56:27.340 --> 56:28.340
He doesn't need to do much.

56:28.340 --> 56:30.340
The arrow, I can't say it's the prettiest.

56:30.340 --> 56:33.420
It's just a clean 2017 level goal.

56:33.420 --> 56:35.820
Sometimes, just bring the ball up high.

56:35.820 --> 56:38.100
Get by one, get by two.

56:38.100 --> 56:40.780
And it's definitely touching into the bottom of the net.

56:40.780 --> 56:43.060
Justin, look like turning back the clock.

56:43.060 --> 56:45.660
He looked like Muhammad Ali out there.

56:45.660 --> 56:47.740
He's just dodging all those punches.

56:48.820 --> 56:51.380
Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.

56:52.280 --> 56:54.980
And that is gonna sting for Dictators,

56:54.980 --> 56:55.940
giving that one up.

56:57.020 --> 56:59.240
Justin back on the highlight reel package.

57:00.340 --> 57:07.920
Bora trying to get something back.

57:07.920 --> 57:08.920
What a bomb.

57:08.920 --> 57:13.580
Chronic shot opportunity for Evo and Evo slots it thanks to that buck for Bora.

57:13.580 --> 57:15.220
Yep, just talked about it.

57:15.220 --> 57:16.220
Had no demos last game.

57:16.220 --> 57:17.220
This one nothing.

57:17.220 --> 57:19.220
Obviously it's not demo either but it's physical.

57:19.220 --> 57:22.700
That bump right there, Chronic was there to meet it and he got slammed.

57:22.700 --> 57:25.620
Not just up on the backboard but to the right as well.

57:25.620 --> 57:27.340
It's open up the door just enough.

57:27.340 --> 57:31.620
And even would just play so close to teammates. He didn't make the mistake that they did earlier in the game James

57:31.620 --> 57:33.620
He was there followed him

57:34.860 --> 57:38.860
Evo say hey, let me show you all lead by example exact

57:40.660 --> 57:43.660
Also credit to Bora connecting on that ball

57:45.260 --> 57:50.220
Chronic will go for a double pass cheese is there didn't want to jump for it. He's on zero boost

57:51.580 --> 57:56.620
Corner picked up from Bora or the land on the ceiling and get a 50 to the side cheese tries to get through

57:56.620 --> 57:58.460
who did get fucked a little bit from five up,

57:58.460 --> 58:00.180
but will still recover, goes for the pass.

58:00.180 --> 58:01.260
Justin was there.

58:01.260 --> 58:04.620
It's kicked back, one possession, four foot chronic.

58:04.620 --> 58:06.980
They'll try to slow this down.

58:06.980 --> 58:07.820
Goes for a 50.

58:07.820 --> 58:09.220
Cheese is quickly there.

58:09.220 --> 58:11.900
Cheese out to the side where Justin is airborne.

58:11.900 --> 58:14.260
Justin's side wall, double corner pass.

58:14.260 --> 58:16.180
Out to the middle, Evo trying to control it.

58:16.180 --> 58:18.260
It'll pop up Justin versus five up here.

58:18.260 --> 58:20.220
And Justin again wins that race.

58:20.220 --> 58:21.220
He's just moving so fast.

58:21.220 --> 58:23.460
Cheese doing a couple sweep throws on the front line.

58:23.460 --> 58:25.140
Got a demo, getting the victory right there.

58:25.140 --> 58:27.060
Here comes Cronick, and there it is.

58:27.060 --> 58:29.300
And just continuous pressure right here from foot.

58:29.300 --> 58:31.260
And in the technical lead.

58:31.260 --> 58:32.740
EVO trying to get this down.

58:32.740 --> 58:35.580
She's right there for the challenge.

58:35.580 --> 58:38.140
Bora was in a reverse position, tried

58:38.140 --> 58:40.700
to get back to the middle to shut that angle off.

58:40.700 --> 58:42.780
But that's what I was talking about.

58:42.780 --> 58:45.100
That's what Foot did so well to InterGee's

58:45.100 --> 58:47.780
that smothering presence, not giving up any free balls,

58:47.780 --> 58:51.620
not giving those possession opportunities.

58:51.620 --> 58:53.060
They're right there in those lanes.

58:53.060 --> 58:55.400
They're always clogging them.

58:55.400 --> 58:58.280
And cheese, that was a good play to help get that out there.

58:58.280 --> 58:59.700
And now you see a shot on target.

58:59.700 --> 59:01.860
Cheese, actually, the one who got credited for that.

59:01.860 --> 59:03.980
I think you wanted to get that to chronic.

59:03.980 --> 59:06.860
Well, the one going to lead with one minute left.

59:06.860 --> 59:08.620
Can foot hold on, or will dig a toss?

59:08.620 --> 59:09.300
Bring this back.

59:09.300 --> 59:12.100
There's a shot saved by Justin.

59:12.100 --> 59:14.100
Evo just takes a little pop shot sometimes.

59:14.100 --> 59:17.260
You've got to make sure the whole mega still get up.

59:17.260 --> 59:18.180
And get to that ball.

59:18.180 --> 59:19.260
What did he just do?

59:19.260 --> 59:20.660
That was caused, man.

59:20.660 --> 59:22.100
How did this happen?

59:22.100 --> 59:23.860
EVO was trying to get back in time.

59:23.860 --> 59:26.220
He was low boost, picked up the mid boost,

59:26.220 --> 59:28.940
but jeez, just gets by him.

59:28.940 --> 59:32.060
Five up desperately needed to get something on that ball,

59:32.060 --> 59:35.020
slowed down enough for EVO to be able to rotate back.

59:36.700 --> 59:38.540
But five up gets beat high.

59:38.540 --> 59:41.340
That's the one area you just cannot get beat high

59:41.340 --> 59:42.380
on those plays.

59:42.380 --> 59:43.220
You sure can.

59:43.220 --> 59:46.940
It just puts you to even a bad spot in a position.

59:46.940 --> 59:49.420
Honestly, what's in that threatening?

59:49.420 --> 59:51.700
Foot comes out on top of it,

59:51.700 --> 59:54.020
And now 30 seconds remaining in this game.

59:54.020 --> 59:55.660
Dignitas, they have not had the pressure.

59:55.660 --> 59:59.060
It was really one moment for Borca, that massive bump

59:59.060 --> 01:00:00.960
that really opened up the foot defense,

01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:02.820
gave people a chance.

01:00:02.820 --> 01:00:05.020
But other than that, it's been a little like lust

01:00:05.020 --> 01:00:06.220
right here for the Dignitas boys,

01:00:06.220 --> 01:00:08.620
especially after the game went off of the pressure.

01:00:09.900 --> 01:00:10.740
They were in it though.

01:00:10.740 --> 01:00:12.300
They were in it till the very end.

01:00:13.300 --> 01:00:15.820
That last play, bit of a head scratcher.

01:00:15.820 --> 01:00:19.460
And then also they let Justin slice them and dice them up.

01:00:19.460 --> 01:00:24.280
That 1v3 didn't land a single bump on Justin going for that.

01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.360
Cheese might go for one for the road.

01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:28.120
It gets shut down, but regardless,

01:00:28.120 --> 01:00:32.840
Flint, a convincing win in game two.

01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:35.600
Two goals, a better foot is in this particular game,

01:00:35.600 --> 01:00:37.960
and two solo goals as well.

01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:39.960
And you don't really necessarily see those two too much

01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:40.460
on foot.

01:00:40.460 --> 01:00:42.240
They can bust them out when they need to.

01:00:42.240 --> 01:00:44.240
Well, we saw one last game from Chronic.

01:00:44.240 --> 01:00:47.160
We saw one this game for Cheese and Justin.

01:00:47.160 --> 01:00:50.920
So every single player on foot now have had those solo plays

01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:52.880
where they've been able to pick Tignitas apart.

01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:56.680
And I think that just goes to speak to the level of the foot.

01:00:56.680 --> 01:00:58.120
I mean, Tignitas, they're close.

01:00:58.120 --> 01:00:58.960
They're there.

01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:02.400
They were in this game, but the veteran experience,

01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:04.800
the confidence, it feels like foot,

01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:06.760
they believe this is a warm-up.

01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:08.800
And it's looking like one.

01:01:08.800 --> 01:01:10.640
And listen, and they believe it, and that's good,

01:01:10.640 --> 01:01:12.920
because if they end up losing this match,

01:01:12.920 --> 01:01:14.480
and they might still lose this match,

01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:15.840
they do have a time out from Tignitas,

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:17.400
but they's got to talk things out.

01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:20.000
And Fuit ended up do losing this match.

01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:22.520
There won't be questions asked for offer.

01:01:22.520 --> 01:01:25.160
Are they really the best team or the fourth best team,

01:01:25.160 --> 01:01:27.520
third best team to be representing North America?

01:01:27.520 --> 01:01:29.640
Maybe Dignitas just had one bad open.

01:01:29.640 --> 01:01:32.240
And I think the question from Fuit in this match in particular

01:01:32.240 --> 01:01:34.200
and then going forward in the bracket as well

01:01:34.200 --> 01:01:35.480
is not only proving themselves

01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:37.240
that they can compete regionally,

01:01:37.240 --> 01:01:39.800
but also showing to the world and themselves

01:01:39.800 --> 01:01:43.600
that we are in a good spot to compete,

01:01:43.600 --> 01:01:44.920
Come Paris, Tom.

01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.240
That's exactly what Foot wants to do.

01:01:47.240 --> 01:01:50.080
Certainly, I think they've already made a grand final.

01:01:50.080 --> 01:01:52.880
I think for them, they want to check off

01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:56.720
that regional victory, especially heading into Paris.

01:01:56.720 --> 01:01:58.760
That would be huge.

01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:02.440
I think just mentally, a buff like that,

01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:05.080
getting the regional champion buff,

01:02:05.080 --> 01:02:07.720
that really could help put North America over the top,

01:02:07.720 --> 01:02:11.600
who up against Europe, Europe looked pretty darn good

01:02:11.600 --> 01:02:16.320
in Boston, NRG obviously having the best run out of NA teams,

01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:19.880
but I think if these NA teams can play to their potential,

01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:23.880
then you could see NA really top out the charts.

01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:27.600
Still waiting for that NA versus NA, grand final.

01:02:27.600 --> 01:02:29.320
Maybe we'll see it one day.

01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:30.160
Yeah, there you go.

01:02:30.160 --> 01:02:31.000
Maybe we'll see it one day.

01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:33.240
I thought you might be bold and predict repairs,

01:02:33.240 --> 01:02:37.560
and I was kind of, I couldn't go over that one.

01:02:37.560 --> 01:02:38.400
Good thing you said maybe,

01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.600
because then that is opens up the door for forever.

01:02:40.600 --> 01:02:42.760
Yeah, maybe we will see it at some point in history.

01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:46.880
And it's going to take a deep roster, a deep bench

01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:47.840
for North America.

01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:50.800
And Foot has started to provide that depth.

01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:54.240
I think the way I've kind of looked at them coming into this

01:02:54.240 --> 01:02:57.680
split was an elite version of the leftovers.

01:02:57.680 --> 01:03:00.520
You've got all these players who have had time on tier one

01:03:00.520 --> 01:03:04.080
teams joining together here after roster moves,

01:03:04.080 --> 01:03:06.560
put them in positions where they needed to find a good

01:03:06.560 --> 01:03:06.960
team.

01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:10.800
You wondered, you know, will they be able to pull this off?

01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.520
It was a bit like the Gen G teams we've seen in the past,

01:03:13.520 --> 01:03:16.000
but the difference between foot and the previous Gen Gs

01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:18.160
is they have certainly delivered.

01:03:18.160 --> 01:03:21.240
But now a chance to close things out against Dignitas

01:03:21.240 --> 01:03:22.800
and punch their tickets to Paris.

01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:25.000
Two more game wins are all they need.

01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:26.480
And if they can pick up another win

01:03:26.480 --> 01:03:28.960
after Dignitas has burned the time out,

01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:31.040
it might be an inevitability t-bates.

01:03:31.040 --> 01:03:31.880
It might just be.

01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:33.040
And this is big for Dignitas.

01:03:33.040 --> 01:03:35.760
I'm not really playing for anything outside of front.

01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:40.400
I mean, of course a plan for money, but it's hard to get, especially young individuals,

01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:46.480
hard to get people to start really looking that much further into the future in terms of improving for LCQ.

01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:51.880
They're probably still thinking about the immediate, and the immediate is they can't make fare, so...

01:03:52.720 --> 01:03:55.720
That's something that they have to overcome. He'll be interested to see how...

01:03:55.720 --> 01:03:56.320
Oh!

01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:58.000
There's our stakes!

01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:00.240
What the hell is that looking at right now?!

01:04:01.280 --> 01:04:04.560
Look at Justin diving up chronic!

01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:05.600
Chronic!

01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:09.880
Has the backboard open for business and he'll catch that one out.

01:04:13.120 --> 01:04:15.120
Oh my gosh, I said they got a dig deep.

01:04:15.640 --> 01:04:18.880
That's not the way to dig. That's the going, that's going the wrong direction.

01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:22.640
You can't let Connick go all the way across the field and it's in a double-touch on you.

01:04:22.640 --> 01:04:25.480
This is not 2018 dig time. You're better than that.

01:04:26.680 --> 01:04:31.400
Also, another plate set up from a Justin breakout pass.

01:04:32.640 --> 01:04:34.640
Justin, he had that

01:04:34.640 --> 01:04:42.000
Unbelievable side wall that will pass over to cheese that one much easier to bake but still executed to perfection

01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:45.920
Justin again will be last back take it ground to air

01:04:46.720 --> 01:04:47.680
Justin

01:04:47.680 --> 01:04:56.820
Flip Green set past the first defender and that was one area Dignitas really struggled with was landing that bump on the solo play player

01:04:57.680 --> 01:05:01.040
Justin able to dodge two bump attempts on his solo play

01:05:01.040 --> 01:05:09.040
Ignitas really need to start connecting on these bumps or at least getting a hand on the 50 and not get beat high.

01:05:12.040 --> 01:05:14.040
There's a demo at the midfield, Evo working.

01:05:14.040 --> 01:05:18.040
Bora with the demo, easy goal here for Evo.

01:05:18.040 --> 01:05:21.040
Yep, double demo, just sweep all the way through, Bora sets it up.

01:05:21.040 --> 01:05:25.040
There's a playmaker on the seeds and he might just be to include demos.

01:05:25.040 --> 01:05:28.040
He just makes it so easy.

01:05:28.040 --> 01:05:31.040
This Evo Boradu will have five up coming to climb the mess.

01:05:31.040 --> 01:05:33.040
I've loved watching it so far this season,

01:05:33.040 --> 01:05:35.040
and they're doing exactly what they do.

01:05:35.040 --> 01:05:37.040
Two demos right there for Boradu,

01:05:37.040 --> 01:05:40.040
or one demo from Evo, whichever way it's to,

01:05:40.040 --> 01:05:43.040
and it ultimately ended up with a goal.

01:05:43.040 --> 01:05:44.040
Not aggression.

01:05:44.040 --> 01:05:48.040
That was one of your critical points

01:05:48.040 --> 01:05:52.040
against Dignitas earlier, was that they had no demos.

01:05:52.040 --> 01:05:54.040
They weren't getting physical, and now they have.

01:05:54.040 --> 01:05:59.220
It's immediately resulted in a goal also Evo and Bora playing very tight on the attack

01:06:00.640 --> 01:06:04.260
Dignitas planning with a fit more killer instinct in game three

01:06:07.640 --> 01:06:11.040
Boom product the big one. This is awkward for Evo Evo

01:06:11.040 --> 01:06:15.520
It's like a city punch but doesn't have boost to get out there fortunately for him or are there to help

01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:19.680
Or it's just so good, man.

01:06:19.680 --> 01:06:22.520
Just brings it all the way back down and nice and composed.

01:06:22.520 --> 01:06:25.920
And I really do like those demos coming out of Diggintoss right there.

01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.840
And also, I want to see them kind of realize each other a little bit more in the midfield.

01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:32.840
We saw the plays when they played next to the new on Friday.

01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:35.200
There was an EVO to five of them both times.

01:06:35.200 --> 01:06:37.520
But they were both midfield passes.

01:06:37.520 --> 01:06:40.480
Just kind of utilizing each other, playing off of one another,

01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:41.920
making the defense out of respect to them.

01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:49.920
There's been a lot of plays in this set so far from Diggatoss where they're kind of saying that the back four taking it so long switch it up make quick at the respect you.

01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:56.920
I haven't really seen much from five up either it's been the Bora Evo Shaw offensively five up though.

01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:04.920
Statistically speaking here to the Diggatoss team but a missed challenge in the worst spot.

01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:05.920
We'll give another goal for foot.

01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:08.920
How do we get here five up? Oh he jumps too early.

01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:11.920
He thought chronic was gonna have a better flick than that.

01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:13.920
You must not have known that chronic has zero.

01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.920
Chronic is kind of muff-flixing and laying.

01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:18.920
He's didn't have the power in it.

01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:19.920
He's kind of stuck in no-mass lane.

01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:21.920
He just tosses the right up as I hear.

01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:22.920
Scoring me.

01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:25.920
I think he was also maybe trying to flick that out

01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:27.920
and just whipped on the flip.

01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:29.920
But now a quick response

01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:32.920
and answer back redemption for five up here

01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:34.920
as he gets the equalizer for Dignitas.

01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:36.920
He sure does, but it's all born right here.

01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:41.040
right here gets the immediate demo forces cheese to go for and announce Dave

01:07:41.040 --> 01:07:45.880
aka squishy safe and cheese just can't get there in time barely gets a touch for

01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:49.080
five of momentum he's gonna end up weighing that right from the balls in

01:07:49.080 --> 01:07:54.280
front of goal line and all mistakes they're not a no to a piece oh don't

01:07:54.280 --> 01:08:03.120
tell me these heavyweights exchanging blows it's a brawl out here just in

01:08:03.120 --> 01:08:09.680
And another perfect pass to Chronic who puts it top shelf.

01:08:09.680 --> 01:08:11.000
Foot back on top.

01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:13.000
You okay teammates?

01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:15.640
I feel like I got a little bit of whiplash.

01:08:15.640 --> 01:08:18.280
Oh I did, because listen that's the game of rockin'ly baby.

01:08:18.280 --> 01:08:21.360
You go back and forth sometimes and you're right on the money.

01:08:21.360 --> 01:08:25.280
Justin once again set up his two teammates and it just feels like every single time Diggatots

01:08:25.280 --> 01:08:30.280
they throw out a punch, they throw out a punch, they throw out an immediate counter

01:08:30.280 --> 01:08:31.280
punch.

01:08:31.280 --> 01:08:34.540
all the momentum, Dignitas are doing what they need to do.

01:08:34.540 --> 01:08:36.200
What the fuck might just be that much better today?

01:08:36.200 --> 01:08:38.760
121 left and permitted in this game.

01:08:38.760 --> 01:08:39.760
And now it's on Dignitas.

01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:43.800
What do they have in their back of tricks up their sleeve?

01:08:43.800 --> 01:08:45.680
In order to get the job done.

01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:48.360
We'll find out.

01:08:48.360 --> 01:08:50.120
Chronic up against 5-up.

01:08:50.120 --> 01:08:50.840
We'll peel off.

01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:52.080
Let 5-up take it.

01:08:52.080 --> 01:08:54.200
Airborne Bora goes for a touch of the backboard.

01:08:54.200 --> 01:08:56.920
Evo couldn't do much.

01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.760
Just third band 5-up.

01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:00.800
Stealing the corner boost.

01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:06.800
Now Boroff against Cheese pinches it directly out five up fighting Justin for the ball just in the back

01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:08.880
To pop it up

01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:14.720
Chronic though no boost will peel off to get the corner, but that back pass and that beat from chronic was huge

01:09:16.320 --> 01:09:21.760
Oh my gosh, he saved that evil actually put that job on target it looked like I can't believe

01:09:22.960 --> 01:09:25.680
It was a great defense from cheese right there evil

01:09:27.040 --> 01:09:30.400
That would have been the goal of the tournament if he ended up get that one

01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:37.040
That read was crazy from EVO to even get the shot on target. I didn't think cheese could have that covered

01:09:39.440 --> 01:09:43.000
That's just the respect these players have at this level J. They see it in 2v2 with cheese

01:09:43.000 --> 01:09:47.760
No, he's looking knows what he can do 10 seconds left for Dignitas here on the FH

01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:55.600
To the ground James keep it low

01:09:55.600 --> 01:10:05.640
Look at that cheese after making that insane save gets the flip reset double three feet off the ground

01:10:09.480 --> 01:10:11.520
And then Justin just does well on the cake off

01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:17.200
It's gonna be a game win four foot and a game. Wow, it's one more. Oh, you just want for the run

01:10:18.040 --> 01:10:20.680
Why not I mean, it's gotta appreciate is a great game

01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:24.680
The score might be 5-2, but both of these teams are putting it all out there.

01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:30.680
Every single time that Dignitas answered or scored, I should say, foot would answer.

01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:34.680
And then, I mean, we talked about Evo had that shot with about 30 seconds left.

01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:36.680
It was an early read. It would have been nasty.

01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:38.680
And Cheese was just there to block it out.

01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:41.680
And then about 10 seconds later, he comes right back down the field

01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:43.680
and says, I'm putting this game away.

01:10:43.680 --> 01:10:46.680
And you see the energy on the camera. It means so much to these guys.

01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:48.680
Up 3-0 now.

01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:52.280
They dominated GNG and it looks like they're going to get the job done against Dignitas,

01:10:52.280 --> 01:10:54.520
but they got one more game to finish this off.

01:10:55.320 --> 01:10:59.800
And if you got a cheesehead at home, make sure you throw it out onto the field

01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:06.120
and honor a cheese's hat trick. Cheese, big plays in this game really though.

01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:12.200
Another game and another example, G-Bates, of how good each one of these players are

01:11:12.200 --> 01:11:15.880
individually. Justin, though, you know what I'm saying? I was talking about this precision

01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:21.960
shooting this series is precision passing has been insane. Dining up cheese,

01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:27.040
dining up chronic, even that backpast to chronic who's poking it around. It feels

01:11:27.040 --> 01:11:32.920
like every single one of these players is playing so fundamentally sound, so

01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:39.240
mechanically sound and even decision making wise positioning wise. Everything

01:11:39.240 --> 01:11:43.960
is working out for foot. They're playing pristine rock. Exactly. You're

01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:47.640
and just focusing and holding in on that point about positioning on it.

01:11:47.640 --> 01:11:52.200
In my estimation from watching teams with chronic, chronic is a natural third man.

01:11:52.200 --> 01:11:57.880
He likes to sit further back and it just allows his teammates to kind of play and do what they can do.

01:11:57.880 --> 01:12:01.880
You know, you always know what one player is going to be and that's what that's what chronic is.

01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:05.560
So there's watching his foot team, she's kind of taking more of a point man role,

01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:10.440
Justin more of a, an assistant episode of their role, but then they all can just switch up with need be.

01:12:10.440 --> 01:12:16.280
be but just having that just general in general just formation has really helped

01:12:16.280 --> 01:12:20.600
them elevate and they're not making any mistakes at the moment. Meanwhile on the

01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:25.860
other end we've seen a few mistakes out of Dignitas you saw five up on that last

01:12:25.860 --> 01:12:29.640
play going for a head not getting the touch ball giving away right in the

01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:33.240
middle of the net ended up getting Dignitas scored on they did answer

01:12:33.240 --> 01:12:37.920
back thanks to a really nice play from Bora and five up but we've just seen

01:12:37.920 --> 01:12:39.920
more mistakes out of dignitas

01:12:41.360 --> 01:12:46.640
Seems like this is a situation right now TV to where both are outclassing dignitas

01:12:47.040 --> 01:12:51.080
Yeah, and then even in that position right there evil he gets by to

01:12:51.480 --> 01:12:58.040
And five of them board are kind of holding their hands together. They're not committing the since evil right that I was a potential opportunity

01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:03.160
And that's not the first time we saw that so far in this series a couple instances here where a dignitas

01:13:03.520 --> 01:13:07.360
They had to have the phone a mantle because it's full of the pedal I should say because if not

01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:09.920
They're gonna end up getting swept

01:13:11.280 --> 01:13:16.040
See what they have the timeout didn't seem to help them. This is their last life

01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:20.680
Evo go for pop-up chronic the only one up

01:13:21.320 --> 01:13:25.400
Double went for the five up shut down the backboard five upside wall double

01:13:25.920 --> 01:13:31.160
Cheese beats Evo cheese backboard pass board needs to get the read and borrow a boob it down to Evo

01:13:31.160 --> 01:13:35.400
Oh, no now who gets a hit off the corner Evo almost getting the double the threat

01:13:35.400 --> 01:13:37.840
almost gets a rebound as well.

01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:41.200
Evo and Bora showing you how quickly

01:13:41.200 --> 01:13:43.000
they can turn that play around.

01:13:43.000 --> 01:13:43.840
Oh, there it is.

01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:47.160
Evo will be able to capitalize on all that pressure.

01:13:47.160 --> 01:13:48.000
There it is.

01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:49.340
Dignitaschitis.

01:13:49.340 --> 01:13:50.960
Really squeezing foot back.

01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:54.720
It all starts with that big clip before about 20 seconds ago.

01:13:54.720 --> 01:13:58.720
To Evo's sidewall, the threat, like you said,

01:13:58.720 --> 01:14:01.400
of him scoring that, forces foot to respect it,

01:14:01.400 --> 01:14:02.460
puts him in a bad spot.

01:14:02.460 --> 01:14:04.480
Bora stays committed with the play.

01:14:04.480 --> 01:14:05.560
And the evo turns right back around.

01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:07.160
Don't tell me you can't see the ball kick off.

01:14:07.160 --> 01:14:08.880
You've got to stop throwing a punch

01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:10.600
and let him kind of punch you.

01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:12.440
Lock in.

01:14:12.440 --> 01:14:14.920
It's a perfect play.

01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:16.000
Off kickoff.

01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:18.920
Ironic wins it slow.

01:14:18.920 --> 01:14:21.040
Wins it forward just in the first player.

01:14:21.040 --> 01:14:22.560
Do that by a mile.

01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:26.160
And that has to be a tilt or a dignitas.

01:14:26.160 --> 01:14:28.320
Finally, they get a break.

01:14:28.320 --> 01:14:30.160
And just like that, a kickoff goal.

01:14:30.160 --> 01:14:31.760
And in threes, you don't really

01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:33.680
see kickoff goals too often.

01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:35.560
and that makes it sting even more.

01:14:37.280 --> 01:14:38.880
Series of the guys just made J for it,

01:14:38.880 --> 01:14:40.200
it was also kickoff, so we were talking about

01:14:40.200 --> 01:14:42.640
that has to be the most tilting thing.

01:14:42.640 --> 01:14:44.920
I think it might have been foot as well,

01:14:44.920 --> 01:14:47.080
like I'd have to look back.

01:14:47.080 --> 01:14:48.720
But you're 100% right.

01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:51.120
You're working hard for a goal.

01:14:51.120 --> 01:14:52.560
You're doing everything you came,

01:14:52.560 --> 01:14:54.880
you're going for these insane mechanical plays

01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:56.400
and then you give up a kickoff goal.

01:14:56.400 --> 01:14:58.480
Oh, I hit the mechanical error!

01:14:58.480 --> 01:14:59.320
Oh, that was close.

01:14:59.320 --> 01:15:00.560
Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off,

01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:01.960
but now it's almost done.

01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:11.880
Regardless, Dignitas, they're not even footing as we hit the halfway point of the game.

01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:18.920
Evo, backboard pass, five-up, so deep, and now G's will have a chance to take this

01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:21.960
airborne, it's off the arctic back.

01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:26.520
Justin with the cut, Justin with the poke, shut down by five-up, and the rebound

01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:28.520
Very good play from Evil.

01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:39.520
And the shot from Chronicle put foot ahead!

01:15:39.520 --> 01:15:42.520
Chronicle continues to step up!

01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:48.520
That's a beautiful play for him. It's all solo too. This is crazy from play.

01:15:48.520 --> 01:15:56.600
This mechanical ability to precision accuracy to get that off the ceiling get the reset and then won't feel the power

01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:03.120
But it's been exceptional in this set in their solo plays

01:16:04.080 --> 01:16:08.680
They're really showing a different level a different level of class because then then it's house has their moments

01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:11.440
But but then it seems so composed and when the moment's happening right here

01:16:11.440 --> 01:16:13.440
And that's what you need.

01:16:13.440 --> 01:16:14.440
Get a put a hand up.

01:16:14.440 --> 01:16:16.440
Don't let these boys cook.

01:16:16.440 --> 01:16:22.440
Yeah, it's solo in a sense that Chronic did that individually, but it was another dime by cheese.

01:16:22.440 --> 01:16:27.440
I mean, we're seeing foot, time, and time, and that's just going to go in.

01:16:27.440 --> 01:16:30.440
Just a clean 50 win.

01:16:30.440 --> 01:16:32.440
Where's the defender?

01:16:32.440 --> 01:16:34.440
Borah's fighting for a quarter boost out in nowhere.

01:16:34.440 --> 01:16:36.440
Or no man's land.

01:16:36.440 --> 01:16:38.440
Got boost, but at what cost?

01:16:38.440 --> 01:16:39.440
Yeah, Borah's chasing.

01:16:39.440 --> 01:16:44.560
Jason even went for the left boost just thinking that Bobo was gonna get the clean 50 and chronic says well

01:16:44.600 --> 01:16:49.480
That's it you guys. I'm just gonna make this one too goalie again back on my hood right here

01:16:49.720 --> 01:16:51.940
And now on your topia is all a dignitas

01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:56.580
They got more work to do in the office. It hasn't come easy for him in this series

01:16:57.080 --> 01:17:00.620
for few buff goals in games 3 and games 2

01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:07.640
Possession here, but it has the butt defenses mill really just made him work so hard

01:17:09.440 --> 01:17:11.440
We're going to have the dignity.

01:17:11.440 --> 01:17:13.440
The one goal this game, Chronic,

01:17:13.440 --> 01:17:14.440
was feeling the pressure.

01:17:14.440 --> 01:17:16.440
He ended up clearing it right to Evo.

01:17:16.440 --> 01:17:18.440
He's got it in an undefended net.

01:17:18.440 --> 01:17:22.440
So the dignity is not able to build up that kind of pressure.

01:17:22.440 --> 01:17:24.440
But then giving up the kickoff goal,

01:17:24.440 --> 01:17:26.440
that's got to hurt now.

01:17:26.440 --> 01:17:27.440
More pressure coming out, Evo.

01:17:27.440 --> 01:17:29.440
We'll be able to collect the ball.

01:17:29.440 --> 01:17:33.440
But the execution has been so good from foot.

01:17:33.440 --> 01:17:35.440
These passes have been on point,

01:17:35.440 --> 01:17:37.440
but that play from Chronic,

01:17:37.440 --> 01:17:39.440
We'll get a flip reset off the ceiling double

01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:45.160
It doesn't matter how good the pass is that she puts a pretty hard shot to make and now another goal

01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:47.040
another

01:17:47.040 --> 01:17:48.720
FD netter

01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:53.560
Dignitas, I don't think they realized you're not supposed to pull on a goalie in this game. Yeah, five

01:17:55.120 --> 01:17:59.440
Well, I don't know but regardless even also not getting back the challenges haven't been there

01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:07.040
Completely deflated Dignitas and what a beatdown this series has been a statement series for foot

01:18:07.440 --> 01:18:14.800
Yeah, Fletch really showing that there is a clear top five North America, top four North

01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:16.520
America at the moment.

01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:20.840
Handle Gen G, that was without question, going up against Dignitas, and I know Dignitas,

01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:25.040
they're not playing for necessarily anything in an immediate for them, but let's do a lot

01:18:25.040 --> 01:18:26.040
of handle business.

01:18:26.040 --> 01:18:31.360
At the same time, at the same time, T-Bates, if Dignitas stick at foot, they'll get

01:18:31.360 --> 01:18:33.800
enough points to make worlds 100 percent.

01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:49.800
This could be an LCQ matchup and to have this on the books, I don't think that would give me much confidence about where Dignitas foot with a dominating performance, sweet Dignitas, and have secured their ticket to Paris.

01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:54.800
They have secured their ticket indeed and they have earned that every much so.

01:18:54.800 --> 01:19:00.080
He didn't RG two times and two times in a row. I should say they beat shot five or billion as well

01:19:00.080 --> 01:19:05.080
They've made a grand final and open number five and they're trying to prove upon that and open number six, but he's

01:19:06.480 --> 01:19:08.480
Jesus

01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:23.520
There we go listen sometimes got to let us know what that is but in chat

01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:27.520
What is that called? We actually don't know. Big shout out to Cheese right there.

01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:31.520
Big shout out to chronic adjusted as well and I'm really the coach out of the game. I mean

01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:35.520
foot e-sports doing the thing, playing sensation on hand.

01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:39.520
It was classed the whole way through James. Classed the whole way through.

01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:47.520
Yeah that was no doubt about it. I mean this was a statement game. You saw how good

01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:55.680
Footwork but team effort as well debates. It was not just a solo effort even though we did see solo efforts

01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:03.360
Incredible stuff for currency Justin back at the major cheese chronic and they're looking good

01:20:03.360 --> 01:20:07.420
But they've got a longer turning to go more LRLCS after this. Oh

01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:10.320
No, this guy going that way

01:20:10.320 --> 01:20:15.880
Now I'm getting the lay of the land now lays can be a big test for a young homeowner turning into their parents

01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:17.780
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.

01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:20.280
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.

01:20:20.380 --> 01:20:23.280
He said if the garage is full, they'd go to the overflow lot.

01:20:23.380 --> 01:20:24.280
I heard him. I was right here.

01:20:24.380 --> 01:20:25.680
Let's just stand quietly.

01:20:27.780 --> 01:20:29.780
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?

01:20:29.880 --> 01:20:31.980
Progressive can't protect you from becoming a parent's.

01:20:32.080 --> 01:20:33.280
But we can't protect your home and auto

01:20:33.380 --> 01:20:34.280
when you bundle with us.

01:20:34.380 --> 01:20:35.680
I think you might have brought the wrong car.

01:20:35.780 --> 01:20:37.280
We had the red convertible.

01:21:45.880 --> 01:21:46.880
Come on!

01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.880
All the things you're born with, all of them.

01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:17.880
That's when we look at each other

01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:21.880
Make us come together

01:22:21.880 --> 01:22:23.880
All right

01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:25.880
That's when you remember

01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:27.880
What you've been

01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:21.880
I know that you'll be bad from the minute I saw you

01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:26.880
But somehow I keep running running back to you

01:25:26.880 --> 01:25:30.880
Back to you, back to you

01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:34.880
Back to you, back to you

01:25:34.880 --> 01:25:38.880
Back to you, back to you

01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:42.880
Back to you, back to you

01:26:12.880 --> 01:26:20.880
I know that you'll be back from the minute I saw you

01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:30.880
But somehow I keep running running back to you, back to you, back to you

01:26:42.880 --> 01:26:44.880
I

01:27:12.880 --> 01:27:26.520
We start off championship Sunday with a beat down here foot e-sports putting the hurt on

01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:32.920
Dignitas out scoring them. What is this 14 to five on this one? An incredible performance

01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:37.040
and for we got an opportunity to talk of cheese. The newest member from North America

01:27:37.040 --> 01:27:41.200
going to France. Sir, what's the vibes like on the team right now? How are you

01:27:41.200 --> 01:27:42.200
You guys feel it.

01:27:42.200 --> 01:27:44.200
And the vibes are immaculate, man.

01:27:44.200 --> 01:27:46.200
They're all time high, obviously, man.

01:27:46.200 --> 01:27:47.200
We just made the major.

01:27:47.200 --> 01:27:49.200
We're looking good as a team.

01:27:49.200 --> 01:27:51.200
There's a very good team from us, 4-0s.

01:27:51.200 --> 01:27:53.200
Never easy, especially against a good DIC team.

01:27:53.200 --> 01:27:54.200
So we're looking good.

01:27:54.200 --> 01:27:56.200
We're excited for the next match already.

01:27:56.200 --> 01:27:57.200
For a show, yeah.

01:27:57.200 --> 01:27:59.200
You got another one coming up here in a moment.

01:27:59.200 --> 01:28:00.200
I got to ask you, though.

01:28:00.200 --> 01:28:02.200
You got two Eiffel Towers on the desk.

01:28:02.200 --> 01:28:03.200
Not one, but two.

01:28:03.200 --> 01:28:04.200
Have you been to Paris before?

01:28:04.200 --> 01:28:06.200
Are you excited to go?

01:28:06.200 --> 01:28:07.200
Yeah, yeah.

01:28:07.200 --> 01:28:10.200
After Worlds last year, me and some buddies went.

01:28:10.200 --> 01:28:12.800
Yeah, we had a great time over there, but I'm excited to go back.

01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:13.600
Man, I'm so excited.

01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:15.000
I got this cool thing over there.

01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:16.360
So it's pretty cool, pretty sick.

01:28:16.360 --> 01:28:17.640
So yeah, I'm so high.

01:28:17.640 --> 01:28:18.240
I'm so happy.

01:28:18.240 --> 01:28:19.680
I love, I love everything right now.

01:28:19.680 --> 01:28:20.320
I just love life.

01:28:21.480 --> 01:28:21.960
For sure.

01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:25.840
Well, we do got to stay locked in here because your day is not over.

01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:28.120
You want to get those points there for seating and stuff like that.

01:28:28.320 --> 01:28:29.720
SSG's coming up next.

01:28:29.720 --> 01:28:31.360
They have been a hot this tournament.

01:28:31.360 --> 01:28:32.840
What's the game plan against SSG?

01:28:33.480 --> 01:28:34.280
Just the right thing.

01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:37.920
Honestly, like we already got the major secure.

01:28:37.920 --> 01:28:40.360
So we're just playing for, like you said, points for Worlds.

01:28:40.360 --> 01:28:41.760
But there's not, you know, pressure anymore.

01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:44.920
So we're just going to go out there and have fun and show what we do.

01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:47.000
OK, well, hey, I'm going to go let you get ready for it.

01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:49.080
Cheese, thank you so much for taking time to talk with us.

01:28:49.080 --> 01:28:50.280
See you in Paris, bud.

01:28:50.280 --> 01:28:52.040
Thank you, FC there.

01:28:52.040 --> 01:28:55.400
All righty, they are going and they are excited about it, folks.

01:28:55.400 --> 01:28:57.680
Playing with house money for the rest of Championship Sunday.

01:28:57.680 --> 01:28:59.800
Dignitas, you know, hey, it's been a good season.

01:28:59.800 --> 01:29:02.920
The LCQ, they are looking like one of the top contenders here.

01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:04.520
James, you said it on the pre-show,

01:29:04.520 --> 01:29:07.320
but this is not this is not how they wanted this final match

01:29:07.320 --> 01:29:08.760
of the normal season to go for them?

01:29:08.760 --> 01:29:11.680
No, no, especially if they end up having to run into foot

01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:17.160
in the LCQ to have this be the last experience you had playing

01:29:17.160 --> 01:29:19.400
them, I think that's going to be pretty daunting.

01:29:19.400 --> 01:29:23.400
But overall, pretty decent run for Dignitas.

01:29:23.400 --> 01:29:25.160
Top six is very good.

01:29:25.160 --> 01:29:27.720
Top six in North America, very good.

01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:30.920
I do think that this team likely will stick.

01:29:30.920 --> 01:29:32.720
We'll see if they do make a roster move.

01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:34.680
Maybe they'll try to bring on a power player.

01:29:34.680 --> 01:29:39.440
maybe like a frosty potentially to round out their roster,

01:29:39.440 --> 01:29:41.240
maybe make one move you can pick

01:29:41.240 --> 01:29:43.400
who you'd want to drop in that situation.

01:29:43.400 --> 01:29:45.840
But in this series, Flut were dominant.

01:29:45.840 --> 01:29:48.360
They made such a massive statement.

01:29:48.360 --> 01:29:51.040
I'm really eager to see them play the rest of this weekend

01:29:51.040 --> 01:29:52.600
here, we're going to have a tough matchup

01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:53.520
in space station gaming.

01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:54.960
But how can you not love that team?

01:29:54.960 --> 01:29:57.920
How can you not love cheese after the great interview

01:29:57.920 --> 01:29:58.880
that you've been giving us?

01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:00.120
You're right about that.

01:30:00.120 --> 01:30:02.560
I mean, cheese is energy and is what they bring to the table.

01:30:02.560 --> 01:30:03.720
It's just nice thing.

01:30:03.720 --> 01:30:07.800
I mean, they earned it and didn't size. They got work to do work to do, but they got, uh,

01:30:07.800 --> 01:30:12.040
many months, many months to the LCQ. So plenty of decisions to be made and plenty of opportunities

01:30:12.040 --> 01:30:15.440
to get better. Yeah. They, they, they got many months and they've got fantastic building

01:30:15.440 --> 01:30:18.720
blocks. I love every single one of those players has a great reason for them to be

01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:22.440
on that team and may, do they, do they stick? Do they change something up? We'll

01:30:22.440 --> 01:30:26.980
find out. We've seen fantastic results and disasters result from rosters either

01:30:26.980 --> 01:30:31.200
blowing up or, uh, or, or sticking there. So you never can tell us just a matter

01:30:31.200 --> 01:30:35.560
of what they end up deciding here folks. The Paris major is starting to solidify here. Three

01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:39.380
teams from North America now locked in with footy sports getting that number three seed

01:30:39.380 --> 01:30:42.580
right now, maybe even be higher by the end of the day. We'll see how the championship

01:30:42.580 --> 01:30:47.120
Sunday here resolves, which means there's only one spot in North America. You saw NRG

01:30:47.120 --> 01:30:52.200
at four in the fourth spot right now with Virtus pro in the fifth. And you'll happen

01:30:52.200 --> 01:30:55.720
to notice they are next to each other. They are right here in the quarter finals

01:30:55.720 --> 01:31:01.720
about to play each other. This next match is for Paris. No, not quite for Paris. If, if, if,

01:31:01.720 --> 01:31:06.680
if, if NRG loses and Virtus.Pro keeps, that would, they would keep their hopes alive if they were to

01:31:06.680 --> 01:31:10.040
win the whole tournament. They would have a tiebreaker against NRG at the end of the day,

01:31:10.040 --> 01:31:15.240
but it will have incredible implications for Paris. Well, it is, it is for Paris. If you're

01:31:15.240 --> 01:31:22.040
looking through the lens of, well, I guess NRG, right? Yes. If NRG wins, they punch their

01:31:22.040 --> 01:31:26.040
ticket. Exactly so you know and even if they lose still have a shot like you're

01:31:26.040 --> 01:31:28.840
saying but it would require all that Virtus.Pro winning and everything but I

01:31:28.840 --> 01:31:33.600
also think another race to remember as well is maybe foot makes a deep run this

01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:37.520
event and maybe they make a deep run at the major Virtus.Pro also trying to

01:31:37.520 --> 01:31:42.720
avoid the LCQ they're currently sitting at that cutoff spot number four if

01:31:42.720 --> 01:31:46.640
they drop down and foot can surpass them Virtus.Pro would have to play in

01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:50.920
that LCQ so there is a lot to play for the pressure is on and wait but you

01:31:50.920 --> 01:31:56.200
actually mentioned it yesterday, they should intentionally throw so they could knock energy

01:31:56.200 --> 01:32:00.840
out themselves. That's exactly what they did. I think we talked to the coach and he said,

01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:05.880
yep, that's our strat. So here we go. I don't like that. I've put this, put this collusion

01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:10.000
in the air. But it is, but it is how things went. I mean, I don't, I don't know, but

01:32:10.000 --> 01:32:13.360
it's like the space station gaming looks so hot yesterday. I don't think for this

01:32:13.360 --> 01:32:18.560
pro had any, any say in the matter of how their results went, but they are now

01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:22.160
in this spot where they get to control their own destiny and take out NRG.

01:32:22.160 --> 01:32:28.240
Well, yeah, I mean, fortunately for Virtus.Pro, NRG is just general philosophy to approach

01:32:28.240 --> 01:32:32.640
in the game. It's not like SSG's because, I mean, yesterday VP, they must have some

01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:37.000
cold tires because of demolition derby. SSG just kept demoing, demoing and demoing some

01:32:37.000 --> 01:32:42.680
more VP. They had no answer to it. NRG does not go for as many demos as SSG does.

01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:47.160
So that is one favor for VP in saying that they're going up against NRG as the reigning

01:32:47.160 --> 01:32:51.400
world champions and they are also trying to secure their ticket to Paris and a position

01:32:51.400 --> 01:32:55.320
that they're normally not used to. They're usually locked in by now. Number one in points.

01:32:55.320 --> 01:32:58.760
They're coasting. They're probably usually sat in the semi-final way into play. It's

01:32:58.760 --> 01:33:03.560
been a different just open set of opens for the reigning world team for the first time

01:33:03.560 --> 01:33:08.200
since they've been a team. Did you hear the desk giving me grief for saying that

01:33:08.200 --> 01:33:14.120
I right now in their current form, NRG is the number 14. What do you think about

01:33:14.120 --> 01:33:17.780
Let's not a monitor because I mean power making wise I mean

01:33:18.140 --> 01:33:23.440
Foot speed them two times in a row as a cheese has a open has open wind and a star has an open wind

01:33:23.440 --> 01:33:26.320
Energy doesn't have that insane that that could completely change

01:33:26.600 --> 01:33:29.920
But if they lose here, it's it's like

01:33:33.800 --> 01:33:34.880
And and

01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:40.860
Vertice Pro but back when they were redacted gave energy problems they gave them problems

01:33:40.860 --> 01:33:45.860
So, this is a really big moment, I think, for NRG, just for the psyche.

01:33:45.860 --> 01:33:56.860
Also, for North America, looking ahead, you know, you want NRG to be in form because most of the time, they're in A's best hope, or getting a trophy.

01:33:56.860 --> 01:34:02.860
Or maybe, in A actually has improved to where NRG can't just coast a whole entire time regionally.

01:34:02.860 --> 01:34:05.860
So maybe NRG's not that far off of form.

01:34:05.860 --> 01:34:09.860
Maybe other teams have just gotten that much better. That's the big question.

01:34:09.860 --> 01:34:13.540
Are they getting better or are we getting worse?

01:34:13.540 --> 01:34:14.540
We'll never find out, folks.

01:34:14.540 --> 01:34:15.540
It's hard to judge here.

01:34:15.540 --> 01:34:17.700
James, you're picking your boys?

01:34:17.700 --> 01:34:18.700
I have to.

01:34:18.700 --> 01:34:19.700
I have to.

01:34:19.700 --> 01:34:20.700
You've got to go NRG.

01:34:20.700 --> 01:34:25.140
I still think they are a top four team, Vertus Pro, on the outside looking at.

01:34:25.140 --> 01:34:26.140
All right.

01:34:26.140 --> 01:34:27.140
Bates, who you got?

01:34:27.140 --> 01:34:28.140
NRG.

01:34:28.140 --> 01:34:29.140
NRG.

01:34:29.140 --> 01:34:30.140
Listen, guys.

01:34:30.140 --> 01:34:31.860
Guys, it's open number six.

01:34:31.860 --> 01:34:32.860
We've seen these runs before.

01:34:32.860 --> 01:34:35.100
If there's ever going to be a run, it's got to be right now.

01:34:35.100 --> 01:34:40.300
I got to just put a little bit of hate here with Virtus.Pro that maybe the debuff of having

01:34:40.300 --> 01:34:44.140
an org is finally kind of worn off and they're back to the redacted ways.

01:34:44.140 --> 01:34:45.540
I want to see it happen.

01:34:45.540 --> 01:34:48.820
This is partially me picking with my heart, but also, look at this, look at this.

01:34:48.820 --> 01:34:53.460
66% in chat, 66% of the deaths for NRG, everything balanced as it should be.

01:34:53.460 --> 01:34:58.180
Let's play some rock and we can find out who is going to Paris, how does the story

01:34:58.180 --> 01:35:01.700
continue here, and which team's the better orange, folks?

01:35:01.700 --> 01:35:03.820
That's the real question that's on the line right now.

01:35:03.820 --> 01:35:09.500
and one side Virtus Pro on the other pair of implications on the line, let's play some broccoli.

01:35:12.500 --> 01:35:16.260
A big one for SSG or Virtus Pro, no doubt,

01:35:16.260 --> 01:35:21.420
it got busy thinking about their matchup for SSG yesterday where they gave up a ton of goals,

01:35:21.420 --> 01:35:28.940
but can Virtus Pro rally defensively as and stop one of the best teams North America has ever seen today?

01:35:28.940 --> 01:35:32.540
It's not happened on a Sunday before, but there's a first time for everything.

01:35:33.820 --> 01:35:37.820
Game 1 brought to you by Progressive between Verdes Pearl and NRG.

01:35:37.820 --> 01:35:44.820
Both teams hit the race to Paris and only one can book their ticket.

01:35:44.820 --> 01:35:48.820
Again, if NRG lose this series of Verdes Pearl, do make the run.

01:35:48.820 --> 01:35:56.820
They'll go to a tiebreaker, but J.O. Strikes first NRG looking to book their ticket here.

01:35:56.820 --> 01:35:58.820
I didn't hate that clear from Wade.

01:35:58.820 --> 01:35:59.820
He got it out of the safety of the corner.

01:35:59.820 --> 01:36:01.820
The problem is Atomic beat him to the spot.

01:36:01.820 --> 01:36:07.020
He said yeah, I know where you're going me just tell you right back out and energy of course ready for it

01:36:07.020 --> 01:36:09.940
Virtus Pro not a bad try but a tough start

01:36:12.940 --> 01:36:20.700
Yeah, look at up this series here it does feel like you know Virtus pros definitely tested energy time and time again, but

01:36:21.860 --> 01:36:27.660
NRG O champ Sunday just feels a little different more pressure coming out from them as the time it flip reset and talk is to save

01:36:28.220 --> 01:36:31.500
But it has been a much more hot start

01:36:31.820 --> 01:36:33.540
For the defending world champions,

01:36:33.540 --> 01:36:35.740
two-piece up a lot of forces of double connect.

01:36:35.740 --> 01:36:37.020
B-smoke pulls off of it.

01:36:37.020 --> 01:36:40.140
So one of the time is Daniel, who got demoed,

01:36:40.140 --> 01:36:41.420
is able to get back in space.

01:36:41.420 --> 01:36:42.740
But so far, verse pro, neither

01:36:42.740 --> 01:36:44.260
will they get anything too threatening.

01:36:44.260 --> 01:36:46.740
But they did just get a couple of nice bumps from talk,

01:36:46.740 --> 01:36:48.620
a couple of good boost deals in the corners.

01:36:48.620 --> 01:36:51.060
They've got a pretty decent press here.

01:36:51.060 --> 01:36:53.060
It's can they turn it into something?

01:36:53.060 --> 01:36:56.460
Way the speculative, trying to time Daniel up.

01:36:56.460 --> 01:36:57.340
Double commit on the net.

01:36:57.340 --> 01:36:58.460
It's got to be a two-piece.

01:36:58.460 --> 01:36:59.580
You might need a little help.

01:36:59.580 --> 01:37:01.460
This is out of talk, and Daniel picks it off.

01:37:01.460 --> 01:37:05.780
back the other way. Beastmole flipping on zero. Can he beat Wavy? Not quite. Off the

01:37:05.780 --> 01:37:10.340
post and out. Daniel said second try. Bottom left. There's no good. Two-piece has to find

01:37:10.340 --> 01:37:14.820
it clear. Tark is going to take a full challenge on zero boost. Daniel will steal the corner.

01:37:14.820 --> 01:37:19.420
Two-piece want to touch to get you out of a jam. It felt like Virtus Pro was dealing

01:37:19.420 --> 01:37:23.340
well on the attack there and then had to deal with a couple strong attempts from

01:37:23.340 --> 01:37:27.700
NRG off the counter. Now, should Beastmole going up? And two-piece a little late

01:37:27.700 --> 01:37:32.260
to that. Look at talk though. Just trying to see if he can more day along by jumping

01:37:32.260 --> 01:37:36.020
earlier. But you see Dan just take his pages there on the wall and then forces it

01:37:36.020 --> 01:37:41.660
into the blue corner energy a little bit more. I would say spread out here as the

01:37:41.660 --> 01:37:45.460
second that follows aren't necessarily as quick. They're using a lot of space

01:37:45.460 --> 01:37:49.420
here on the field and trying to again see if they can force an error. These

01:37:49.420 --> 01:37:52.860
more leads a double. I was probably wanted to catch it but defense just

01:37:52.860 --> 01:37:56.540
able to cut it out. Talk plan well here in game one. I mean he's dialed

01:37:56.540 --> 01:37:59.180
I think he knows exactly how he wants his game to go.

01:37:59.180 --> 01:38:02.020
He's giving it his best go as Beast Boy was zero,

01:38:02.020 --> 01:38:03.940
makes it look a lot more dangerous than it is.

01:38:03.940 --> 01:38:05.500
Daniel actually gives that one away,

01:38:05.500 --> 01:38:07.140
but Atomic knows the boost is spawning,

01:38:07.140 --> 01:38:09.500
and that's what really picks the difference on defense,

01:38:09.500 --> 01:38:12.300
and he will let his teammates rally in our G,

01:38:12.300 --> 01:38:16.060
just willing to hold off VP at arm's length at the moment.

01:38:18.100 --> 01:38:20.100
Two-piece, that's what he made,

01:38:20.100 --> 01:38:21.780
but light touch, so awkward.

01:38:21.780 --> 01:38:22.620
Beast Boy gets a cut.

01:38:22.620 --> 01:38:23.580
Two-piece doesn't have boost here.

01:38:23.580 --> 01:38:24.780
Atomic's under the ball,

01:38:24.780 --> 01:38:27.820
but can't actually go for it, was moved up way too close.

01:38:27.820 --> 01:38:29.700
So that attack will have to restart.

01:38:29.700 --> 01:38:32.300
Chancey air, but Tongue's the last of his boos.

01:38:32.300 --> 01:38:33.860
There was a great beat on Atomic.

01:38:33.860 --> 01:38:34.820
He loses that.

01:38:34.820 --> 01:38:37.540
I mean, it's gonna be so much boosted space for NRG here.

01:38:37.540 --> 01:38:39.260
Burst Pro feels like they're holding on,

01:38:39.260 --> 01:38:42.740
but NRG knocking at the door.

01:38:42.740 --> 01:38:44.700
Oh, what a job from talk to Docs.

01:38:44.700 --> 01:38:46.420
The bump, but unfortunately they gave the ball

01:38:46.420 --> 01:38:47.420
right back to Atomic.

01:38:47.420 --> 01:38:49.540
Fortunately, they couldn't force it into any type

01:38:49.540 --> 01:38:50.500
of goal scorer in chance.

01:38:50.500 --> 01:38:52.460
Two-piece with his best 50 on zero boos,

01:38:52.460 --> 01:38:55.980
really just hoping that anything spawns or maybe a bump falls into his path either

01:38:55.980 --> 01:38:59.780
way feels like risk pro might have to give this one up sooner rather than

01:38:59.780 --> 01:39:03.620
later as there comes a time of quick but actually too quick ends up donating the

01:39:03.620 --> 01:39:06.700
ball the way be straight on target Daniel will be equal to the task and

01:39:06.700 --> 01:39:10.820
nice jam from two piece in the corner but maybe really struggling to generate

01:39:10.820 --> 01:39:15.580
high quality chances on that and they look really awkward I mean I saw talk

01:39:15.580 --> 01:39:19.140
there on the last play he was just folding around in the midfield he

01:39:19.140 --> 01:39:22.140
He spits so much time in the midfield that two boost pads

01:39:22.140 --> 01:39:24.580
I think gave him maybe like 50 boosts to choose.

01:39:24.580 --> 01:39:27.060
Now, again, he still, even with all that boost,

01:39:27.060 --> 01:39:28.620
couldn't go up for the ball at the right time,

01:39:28.620 --> 01:39:30.300
was out of position.

01:39:30.300 --> 01:39:32.180
And that could be a big factor here for Berners.

01:39:32.180 --> 01:39:33.900
They have to be in the right spots here,

01:39:33.900 --> 01:39:36.460
especially when the ball in the midfield with NRG.

01:39:36.460 --> 01:39:39.820
On the other side, NRG, they have been so good

01:39:39.820 --> 01:39:42.940
at keeping the ball close and getting these big wings,

01:39:42.940 --> 01:39:45.940
but not enough to put it at goal-scoring opportunities.

01:39:45.940 --> 01:39:47.180
Another good save there.

01:39:47.180 --> 01:39:49.520
about regressed it from Beast Mode there.

01:39:49.520 --> 01:39:51.300
I kinda liked that pass back in the middle.

01:39:51.300 --> 01:39:53.780
Felt like Viki might've had a little bit of room,

01:39:53.780 --> 01:39:56.380
but Beast Mode, squeezing it with zero boost,

01:39:56.380 --> 01:39:58.300
broke it up, but now hits his team on the attack.

01:39:58.300 --> 01:39:59.380
It's 1v2 in the net.

01:39:59.380 --> 01:40:01.380
Atomic just trying to take a bite at a two-piece.

01:40:01.380 --> 01:40:03.020
He will dodge everything.

01:40:03.020 --> 01:40:04.900
51 on the clock, and Virtus.Pro,

01:40:04.900 --> 01:40:07.300
despite having some decent pressure,

01:40:07.300 --> 01:40:09.260
still waiting for that one good yabba

01:40:09.260 --> 01:40:11.020
should definitely score at the moment,

01:40:11.020 --> 01:40:14.020
but at the same time, they're well within 40 seconds

01:40:14.020 --> 01:40:15.580
to find one very doable.

01:40:15.580 --> 01:40:17.580
just takes one.

01:40:17.580 --> 01:40:19.180
Daniel on top of the ball looking for a bump,

01:40:19.180 --> 01:40:21.180
talk, and Atomic 50 here.

01:40:21.180 --> 01:40:24.020
Beast mode lurking, and Beast mode too far forward,

01:40:24.020 --> 01:40:26.220
tries to play it back, talk on top of the ball.

01:40:26.220 --> 01:40:27.780
So Daniel has to come up for a 50.

01:40:27.780 --> 01:40:29.020
Does it lose possession again?

01:40:29.020 --> 01:40:30.380
Rob, well, he does lose possession.

01:40:30.380 --> 01:40:32.420
The way to get to the two-piece for the ball

01:40:32.420 --> 01:40:33.900
and two-piece will strike!

01:40:33.900 --> 01:40:35.060
We're tied!

01:40:35.060 --> 01:40:36.780
But like it had to be coming soon.

01:40:36.780 --> 01:40:38.940
Again, you see, talk at that boosty over the corner

01:40:38.940 --> 01:40:40.380
and what a pass out in the middle.

01:40:40.380 --> 01:40:42.420
Atomic actually loved the try.

01:40:42.420 --> 01:40:44.700
You'd rather get the guy in the net

01:40:44.700 --> 01:40:51.020
The job of saving it who has the boost atomic tried to bake it up couldn't quite get there and beast mode not equal to the fake

01:40:51.020 --> 01:40:54.600
And the secondary shot attend finally VP find a way through

01:40:55.820 --> 01:40:58.580
Two peas looking at to the score line gets that one man

01:40:59.460 --> 01:41:01.460
And the time it will cut it

01:41:01.900 --> 01:41:07.740
energy trying to push this field final teams that can't put a shot on but it wasn't enough talk which is for a

01:41:08.260 --> 01:41:14.380
Play for vertice in beast mode playoff the sidewalk where time they can pop it up all the way down field to beast mode

01:41:14.700 --> 01:41:17.300
Talk, we'll ground it, and we got him for time.

01:41:17.300 --> 01:41:19.700
The 40, who do I think comes out on top?

01:41:19.700 --> 01:41:21.500
Any kickoff tech?

01:41:21.500 --> 01:41:24.780
Pretty standard, a pretty safe cheat from both teams as well.

01:41:24.780 --> 01:41:27.300
Definitely nobody wanted to give away anything too terrible,

01:41:27.300 --> 01:41:30.820
but actually everybody from Virtus.Pro loses all the boost there.

01:41:30.820 --> 01:41:32.140
I'm not sure what they're really gonna have.

01:41:32.140 --> 01:41:34.380
I guess they steal a corner.

01:41:34.380 --> 01:41:35.900
Maybe they have a press here.

01:41:35.900 --> 01:41:38.340
Talk realizes he's not winning 1v3,

01:41:38.340 --> 01:41:40.820
just tries to take the best 50 he can.

01:41:40.820 --> 01:41:42.540
And 2-Pace unfortunately gets beat.

01:41:42.540 --> 01:41:45.140
That's a great challenge from NRG to give themselves

01:41:45.140 --> 01:41:46.980
a little bit of breathing room.

01:41:46.980 --> 01:41:48.860
A two piece force, Daniel up early too

01:41:48.860 --> 01:41:50.020
by looking for the ball.

01:41:50.020 --> 01:41:52.940
Daniel got there in back in time, but again, NRG there.

01:41:52.940 --> 01:41:55.340
Second man has been very slow here

01:41:55.340 --> 01:41:56.500
toward the later half of the game,

01:41:56.500 --> 01:41:58.300
not being able to get to the balls quickly enough

01:41:58.300 --> 01:42:00.980
and you can see Vardis just taking full control

01:42:00.980 --> 01:42:02.300
about nearly a mile close there

01:42:02.300 --> 01:42:03.220
in front of the goal line.

01:42:03.220 --> 01:42:04.980
These both will carry it out.

01:42:04.980 --> 01:42:06.360
Start to wonder maybe Daniel

01:42:06.360 --> 01:42:07.980
doing a little bit too much, but it's okay.

01:42:07.980 --> 01:42:09.500
It all worked out state, how did the net

01:42:09.500 --> 01:42:10.660
that's all that matters in a time

01:42:10.660 --> 01:42:12.340
like with the infinite amount of time.

01:42:12.340 --> 01:42:15.360
two-piece quick to close the gap I thought it was gonna be a little bit more

01:42:15.360 --> 01:42:19.980
you's not gonna find out that's for sure yeah completely cut the play there

01:42:19.980 --> 01:42:24.400
maybe look for our double here and this is and yeah you'll know fools but look

01:42:24.400 --> 01:42:26.000
at the prizes just makes two-piece

01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:32.680
oh look at Manitoba tries to chase it down but he's too late gonna try in our

01:42:32.680 --> 01:42:36.080
G just now they're starting to play with the challenge timing and that's

01:42:36.080 --> 01:42:38.960
when you're gonna throw the wrench in the gear for VP for sure it's gonna

01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:45.120
require some extra discipline from everybody. Yeah, looks like NRG, again, like you said,

01:42:45.120 --> 01:42:48.320
with that channel, it's time to try to throw the rhythm off. Oh, atomic off the ceiling.

01:42:48.320 --> 01:42:56.120
Oh, got it back! No! Atomic! Where did this man come from? He said, I got a hundred boosts

01:42:56.120 --> 01:43:01.320
on the sidewalks going up. Don't get it, big dog. Bang! Ain't no one stopping that one.

01:43:01.320 --> 01:43:05.920
With authority, nice fast, Daniel. Way to go get an atomic. Game one,

01:43:05.920 --> 01:43:09.640
and you should RG tough break me, Pete.

01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:13.160
Holy, I didn't expect two to go there.

01:43:13.160 --> 01:43:15.080
That is the one takeaway for Verdes.

01:43:15.080 --> 01:43:18.680
But even with someone in net, that is definitely

01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:20.640
a tough shot to save.

01:43:20.640 --> 01:43:23.240
It's something I got a lot of pace off of it off the ceiling.

01:43:23.240 --> 01:43:28.400
And man, what a goal there for NRG now with the lead here.

01:43:28.400 --> 01:43:30.600
But Verdes Pro definitely looks like a force

01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:32.320
to be reckoned here with the Jews.

01:43:32.320 --> 01:43:34.160
You do make a good point, though, not expecting

01:43:34.160 --> 01:43:35.720
to go on that last shot, right?

01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:39.800
I think it boils down to you see the the first lands think it I can definitely go cover this

01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:45.640
But maybe he doesn't know a Tom X up and off the ceiling right and the guy in net can see a tummock off the sailing

01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:47.960
And he knows his teammates not gonna get there

01:43:47.960 --> 01:43:52.760
And so then you just get that terrible feeling in your gut like I gotta go get it or else

01:43:52.760 --> 01:43:57.160
It's gonna be terrible because how am I gonna stop atomic and maybe that's what happened

01:43:57.160 --> 01:44:00.840
Maybe it isn't but one way or the other get nametag gift

01:44:00.840 --> 01:44:05.400
that you forced the unforced era with the double commit.

01:44:05.400 --> 01:44:07.480
Atomic hits a great clip to win game one.

01:44:07.480 --> 01:44:09.000
That's the way it goes sometimes.

01:44:09.000 --> 01:44:10.520
It is the way it goes sometimes,

01:44:10.520 --> 01:44:13.480
but you can see though NRG not necessarily

01:44:13.480 --> 01:44:15.400
starting off the series as strong

01:44:15.400 --> 01:44:16.840
as I think they may have wanted to,

01:44:16.840 --> 01:44:18.480
at least in terms of the score line.

01:44:18.480 --> 01:44:20.000
And in terms of the kind of the way

01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:21.120
they were moving around the field,

01:44:21.120 --> 01:44:22.240
definitely felt like they gave up

01:44:22.240 --> 01:44:25.600
a little bit too much to Verdes in some instances,

01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:27.120
but they secure the game

01:44:27.120 --> 01:44:28.920
and there's gonna be a lot of momentum

01:44:28.920 --> 01:44:31.240
going in their favor after that atomic goal.

01:44:31.240 --> 01:44:32.640
We'll see how big he looks.

01:44:32.640 --> 01:44:34.160
I want to see Wavy get something.

01:44:34.160 --> 01:44:35.560
I want to see Wavy end up with the ball.

01:44:35.560 --> 01:44:37.560
I like the way talk was planned in game one.

01:44:37.560 --> 01:44:39.120
I haven't seen two-piece-two too much.

01:44:39.120 --> 01:44:40.480
I haven't seen Wavy do too much.

01:44:40.480 --> 01:44:42.320
And I feel like Wavy's got the chop center.

01:44:42.320 --> 01:44:44.440
I mean, I feel like Talk Beads help right now.

01:44:44.440 --> 01:44:46.880
He's working pretty hard.

01:44:46.880 --> 01:44:49.120
Yeah, Daniel will follow that one.

01:44:49.120 --> 01:44:50.680
Get Claire from talk.

01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:53.240
Wavy often to follow, decided to pull off of it.

01:44:53.240 --> 01:44:54.680
NRG tried to set up a pass.

01:44:54.680 --> 01:44:56.280
Didn't work until it's on the base.

01:44:56.280 --> 01:44:57.120
That one's center.

01:44:57.120 --> 01:45:04.120
They can go here because he knows Beast Mode is coming back and lose the 50 but it's to the side while NRG will pass out to get the clearances.

01:45:04.120 --> 01:45:12.120
This one's down all the way across the field and look at Dan. Great re-enlightening of the play and Atomic almost punished Virtus Pro for the full half attempt.

01:45:12.120 --> 01:45:15.360
Pantok picked up the corner boost as well.

01:45:15.360 --> 01:45:17.720
Wavy, that's a nice 50.

01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:20.720
NRG with a tricky bit of play on the attack,

01:45:20.720 --> 01:45:22.440
but ultimately boils down to nothing.

01:45:22.440 --> 01:45:24.960
Top will actually let that go.

01:45:24.960 --> 01:45:25.920
Will it be bad?

01:45:25.920 --> 01:45:27.400
They had to toss a bump in the net.

01:45:27.400 --> 01:45:29.560
Wavy, thankfully, doesn't have any heat coming his way.

01:45:29.560 --> 01:45:31.400
And NRG will just reset.

01:45:31.400 --> 01:45:32.640
And that's a straight donation.

01:45:32.640 --> 01:45:34.720
And Daniel got to make a stop with Zero Boost.

01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:36.160
No trouble for him.

01:45:36.160 --> 01:45:37.800
I had to hit the, now, two-piece.

01:45:37.800 --> 01:45:39.800
We'll get a chance at it.

01:45:39.800 --> 01:45:43.240
I think it was looking for wavy, but couldn't execute on that individual touch.

01:45:43.240 --> 01:45:46.120
Just to get past two and maybe we'll back pass the two-piece.

01:45:46.120 --> 01:45:48.120
Has talk, talk pulls off of it.

01:45:48.120 --> 01:45:51.640
Two-piece doesn't get a beat on Daniel, but going to follow it up for Curtis.

01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:58.320
So, Beast mode will try to collect, even with this beat, I mean, atomic fully clear to the mid,

01:45:58.320 --> 01:46:01.600
because he knows that there's no real threat of a shot coming through.

01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:05.160
Good communication on the side here for NRG to kind of start this one off.

01:46:05.160 --> 01:46:07.720
But, Curtis have been able to get the ball out of the cheese,

01:46:07.720 --> 01:46:09.960
They just haven't been able to really do anything with it.

01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:12.680
Yeah, Tom, they're a good and aggressive dive,

01:46:12.680 --> 01:46:14.880
and maybe finds a nice boost deal in the corner.

01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:16.880
But even with all these nice boost deals

01:46:16.880 --> 01:46:18.800
that have been spot for VP, they haven't really

01:46:18.800 --> 01:46:20.200
been able to do much with it.

01:46:20.200 --> 01:46:22.040
And that doesn't really feel too good,

01:46:22.040 --> 01:46:24.240
because you feel like you should be kind of blunting

01:46:24.240 --> 01:46:27.520
that transition if you take away boost from either the first

01:46:27.520 --> 01:46:28.680
or even a follow up guy.

01:46:28.680 --> 01:46:31.560
But for whatever reason, whenever

01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:34.720
RNG picks up that clear that Virtus.Pro get off of it,

01:46:34.720 --> 01:46:36.760
I mean, they just can't go up and challenge the ball.

01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:39.000
They have to wait for whatever reason,

01:46:39.000 --> 01:46:43.000
and NRG is not really feeling the effects of those boost fields.

01:46:43.000 --> 01:46:44.800
Oh, this one was a little dangerous.

01:46:44.800 --> 01:46:46.000
I mean, look at the rotation.

01:46:46.000 --> 01:46:49.240
It feels like they just move up too far forward.

01:46:49.240 --> 01:46:51.280
No one's playing the miss.

01:46:51.280 --> 01:46:54.160
They all have to trust in each other, which, again, they should.

01:46:54.160 --> 01:46:56.120
But when someone does get beat, it

01:46:56.120 --> 01:46:59.160
forces the entire team back, and they have to reposition.

01:46:59.160 --> 01:47:02.840
They need a big win here in the field out there.

01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:04.360
And they need it quickly, too.

01:47:04.360 --> 01:47:06.360
and then continue forward

01:47:06.360 --> 01:47:08.360
and zoned out those players from

01:47:08.360 --> 01:47:10.360
British Pro opened up space for

01:47:10.360 --> 01:47:12.360
his teammates with zero boost

01:47:12.360 --> 01:47:14.360
behind them to get out of the

01:47:14.360 --> 01:47:16.360
camera and what a pass out of

01:47:16.360 --> 01:47:18.360
the sideline. Daniel will dig it

01:47:18.360 --> 01:47:20.360
out to himself. We'll step

01:47:20.360 --> 01:47:22.360
a step down to the floor because

01:47:22.360 --> 01:47:24.360
he knows he doesn't quite have

01:47:24.360 --> 01:47:26.360
the pieces in place yet and

01:47:26.360 --> 01:47:28.360
what a 50 is good beast mode

01:47:28.360 --> 01:47:30.360
to look at it and steal the

01:47:30.360 --> 01:47:32.360
boost away. Some of the note to

01:47:32.360 --> 01:47:34.720
Some of the note to there when Daniel was hesitated.

01:47:34.720 --> 01:47:35.640
These people had jumped.

01:47:35.640 --> 01:47:36.920
He was a lot of his booth.

01:47:36.920 --> 01:47:38.200
I think he tried to sell a fake.

01:47:38.200 --> 01:47:39.640
Maybe to see if they could get someone to buy.

01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:41.160
Burdus Pearl, Ben Salah.

01:47:41.160 --> 01:47:44.040
Oh, I can't get there.

01:47:44.040 --> 01:47:45.360
Cole will be on top.

01:47:45.360 --> 01:47:47.160
I pinched right in.

01:47:47.160 --> 01:47:48.880
You can't believe it if you meet me here.

01:47:48.880 --> 01:47:50.920
You've got four people jammed up in this corner.

01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:53.680
Somebody explodes and somehow you can't reach it.

01:47:53.680 --> 01:47:55.640
That's going to be so irritating.

01:47:55.640 --> 01:47:58.080
It feels like it's surely out of all of the possible

01:47:58.080 --> 01:47:59.680
scenarios in this corner.

01:47:59.680 --> 01:48:01.800
The last one is going to be straight in the net.

01:48:01.800 --> 01:48:03.800
Well, look at our G picks it out of the bag.

01:48:06.280 --> 01:48:13.680
You see whether or not an RG can continue on this one.

01:48:13.680 --> 01:48:16.360
She's two piece now.

01:48:16.360 --> 01:48:17.880
We'll try to get this one to the side.

01:48:17.880 --> 01:48:20.320
You see atomic just bear.

01:48:20.320 --> 01:48:22.360
Let me get bumped there and talk.

01:48:22.360 --> 01:48:26.680
Try to pick it up, but no follow here for Vertis.

01:48:26.680 --> 01:48:29.280
This will be two piece place to the side.

01:48:29.280 --> 01:48:32.920
and it's just this individual play.

01:48:32.920 --> 01:48:34.600
It's not exactly what Vertus need right now.

01:48:34.600 --> 01:48:36.400
They're not able to get past two NRG

01:48:36.400 --> 01:48:38.960
and NRG are just kind of buying their time.

01:48:38.960 --> 01:48:41.440
Remember when it feels like the person breaking up

01:48:41.440 --> 01:48:44.160
that NRG counter attack is attacking the floor?

01:48:44.160 --> 01:48:47.000
Like look at how whenever who's challenging second

01:48:47.000 --> 01:48:50.200
for Vertus throwing, always jumping facing backwards.

01:48:50.200 --> 01:48:51.520
And that means that it's very difficult

01:48:51.520 --> 01:48:53.160
to actually fight for possession

01:48:53.160 --> 01:48:55.760
and you're just fighting to delay.

01:48:55.760 --> 01:48:58.240
And while that can have its ups and downs,

01:48:58.240 --> 01:48:59.840
It's certainly not a good position

01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:03.520
you want to be challenging from out of a 0-1 scenario,

01:49:03.520 --> 01:49:05.320
as two beats find you a chance on target.

01:49:05.320 --> 01:49:07.960
I think that's the first one this game, second one actually,

01:49:07.960 --> 01:49:10.400
but either way, not much to speak of.

01:49:10.400 --> 01:49:13.240
Virtus. Pro, everybody under 200 points.

01:49:15.440 --> 01:49:16.440
Tom picks that up.

01:49:17.640 --> 01:49:21.000
Friends in the outfield, NRG looking for more here.

01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:22.360
Beastmole a little bit more spread,

01:49:22.360 --> 01:49:24.680
Daniel behind the midfield line on this play.

01:49:24.680 --> 01:49:26.760
Beastmole wants to get the ball to him, Daniel.

01:49:26.760 --> 01:49:31.020
Dodging bumps, still tries to attack, and is blocked out.

01:49:31.020 --> 01:49:33.460
Vertus though showing no signs of getting out there,

01:49:33.460 --> 01:49:36.900
and a tough spot, and we are putting their foot down,

01:49:36.900 --> 01:49:38.980
trying to play the misses game of a wavy.

01:49:38.980 --> 01:49:40.820
Get some breathing room for Vertus now.

01:49:40.820 --> 01:49:42.620
We got 15 seconds remaining.

01:49:42.620 --> 01:49:45.580
This ball cleared out by Beast Mode, it's in the midfield.

01:49:45.580 --> 01:49:47.300
Stays on top of the flick over one,

01:49:47.300 --> 01:49:50.300
top make it there, and I might be ball game.

01:49:50.300 --> 01:49:51.940
And it's exactly what I'm talking about too.

01:49:51.940 --> 01:49:52.780
Look at this clear.

01:49:52.780 --> 01:49:55.020
Where's the last switch, where's Dark Mason backwards?

01:49:55.020 --> 01:49:55.860
It's a delayed touch,

01:49:55.860 --> 01:49:57.260
but how much good does it do you?

01:49:57.260 --> 01:49:58.620
Nothing, you give it right back.

01:49:58.620 --> 01:50:00.540
Your teammates trying to grab corner boost

01:50:00.540 --> 01:50:02.060
and tries to cover up, can't make it.

01:50:02.060 --> 01:50:04.060
Now you have to make the stop at zero.

01:50:04.060 --> 01:50:05.620
And Virtus.Pro can see it again.

01:50:05.620 --> 01:50:08.660
I think they're right ball game inevitable 2-0

01:50:08.660 --> 01:50:10.900
on the scorecard for NRG now.

01:50:12.340 --> 01:50:15.300
So as close as the first game started,

01:50:15.300 --> 01:50:20.020
this one is looking like a shutout and it will be.

01:50:20.980 --> 01:50:23.820
This is a bad start for Virtus.Pro.

01:50:23.820 --> 01:50:29.460
you're expecting a timeout at this point and makes you die deeper into the matchup.

01:50:29.460 --> 01:50:35.260
Yet, I do see it. It looks like, you know, for Virtus.Pro, they have a record of three

01:50:35.260 --> 01:50:40.900
and three with NRG for this season. All three wins came on Friday and Saturday. They have

01:50:40.900 --> 01:50:48.300
not been in NRG yet on a championship Sunday. And it seems like we might get a piece of

01:50:48.300 --> 01:50:53.100
the same story here, especially with the major online NRG, or have just locked things

01:50:53.100 --> 01:50:54.020
down here in the series.

01:50:54.020 --> 01:50:56.340
Only two shots for Vertus begging.

01:50:56.340 --> 01:50:59.300
It's been a calm, cool collect, kind of like, you know,

01:50:59.300 --> 01:51:01.420
that Shotgun Fiverr's fucking game yesterday.

01:51:01.420 --> 01:51:02.820
It's not dumb.

01:51:02.820 --> 01:51:04.780
But it's very comfortable for an RG,

01:51:04.780 --> 01:51:07.540
it feels like, right now, that Vertus Pro just doesn't

01:51:07.540 --> 01:51:09.060
quite have the teeth on the attack.

01:51:09.060 --> 01:51:11.140
Like you said, they're struggling to get those solo

01:51:11.140 --> 01:51:11.980
attacks going.

01:51:11.980 --> 01:51:15.060
They don't really have anybody breaking through consistently

01:51:15.060 --> 01:51:17.940
and holding onto the ball and forcing an RG to stand

01:51:17.940 --> 01:51:19.820
multiple defenders at something.

01:51:19.820 --> 01:51:22.580
And then on the defensive side of thing,

01:51:22.580 --> 01:51:27.040
The Virtus Pro is just not quite able to, you know, keep NRG from squeezing them out

01:51:27.040 --> 01:51:30.840
because like we said, taking those challenges out of the midfield, they're all facing backwards

01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:32.540
and they'll get those delay touches.

01:51:32.540 --> 01:51:34.020
Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not.

01:51:34.020 --> 01:51:37.840
But no matter which way it's going, NRG can see that you're facing forward.

01:51:37.840 --> 01:51:41.600
That ball's not coming back on that hour and chaff and they just take all the space,

01:51:41.600 --> 01:51:45.680
rush right up on you at the midfield line and doesn't matter how good the defensive

01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:49.160
touch is, NRG's got the pieces ready to go with zero boost or not.

01:51:49.160 --> 01:51:55.160
even with ZeroBoost, they're making Virtus.Pro work, so NRG, it feels like they've got the map

01:51:55.160 --> 01:52:03.560
on lock and Boost isn't really a factor for them right now. Yeah, it does feel like for NRG

01:52:04.920 --> 01:52:08.760
that they've been able to kind of just manipulate the space and put Virtus.Pro,

01:52:08.760 --> 01:52:14.440
it's maybe awkward situations. Like I said, for Virtus, they're not able to be aggressive

01:52:14.440 --> 01:52:19.960
in the offensive front, it kind of feels like, you know, they're trying to see if one person

01:52:19.960 --> 01:52:25.480
can get a beat on two. And that's just not really too possible against a team like NRG. So

01:52:26.520 --> 01:52:33.640
it's very rare, I should say. But I think also you have to take a look at that overall pressure

01:52:33.640 --> 01:52:39.080
now down to two games in the series. And then, you know, with the major conversation and things

01:52:39.080 --> 01:52:44.680
like that now wanting to go to LCTU like this can pile up pretty fast for

01:52:44.680 --> 01:52:48.600
verdict so this is gonna be a real test of their resilience to see how they

01:52:48.600 --> 01:52:53.880
come out this time out you big make a break here good first 60 seconds and

01:52:53.880 --> 01:52:57.320
even if you're not putting shots on target I want to see it not really

01:52:57.320 --> 01:53:02.520
being scared of energy that's nice for me so the double there from two

01:53:02.520 --> 01:53:06.840
pieces well one of the bump on piece mode couldn't get it and then three

01:53:06.840 --> 01:53:14.200
He has to hop on the left off the ceiling talks late Daniel is easy cut to piece

01:53:14.200 --> 01:53:18.360
He's gonna want to bang this and he does way be got off on a topic and

01:53:20.760 --> 01:53:25.340
To get more space achieves and it still just works out fine right you find the bump

01:53:25.340 --> 01:53:30.060
But he still hit him straight into the ball and it just kills off the momentum feels so bad

01:53:30.060 --> 01:53:34.060
And it's just the same.

01:53:34.060 --> 01:53:36.060
I'm creative here.

01:53:36.060 --> 01:53:38.060
Murder's trying to get some success off the time.

01:53:38.060 --> 01:53:41.060
Two pieces off field hunting pulls off at the last second.

01:53:41.060 --> 01:53:44.060
Clear comes out and talk, we'll meet it in the midfield.

01:53:44.060 --> 01:53:46.060
Not the best first touch from him.

01:53:46.060 --> 01:53:48.060
Nice, nice kick from Wavey.

01:53:48.060 --> 01:53:49.060
Two pieces, one of the backboard.

01:53:49.060 --> 01:53:51.060
Look at NRG.

01:53:51.060 --> 01:53:53.060
Everything feels covered here.

01:53:53.060 --> 01:53:55.060
It feels like they just have a read of what murder's are going to do.

01:53:55.060 --> 01:53:58.060
They've positioned so well so far in starting this game.

01:53:58.060 --> 01:54:03.520
Try and cross dog a comment there in the box and we get two people diving the ball made to make a wrong decision

01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:05.520
Either way next to stop

01:54:05.740 --> 01:54:10.060
Daniel the nice double tap and grab both boosts. Well, he's got zero boost

01:54:10.060 --> 01:54:15.100
And he still does wall dash and finds a bump and it's gonna kill any counter attack with me. That's what I mean

01:54:15.100 --> 01:54:17.100
The boost is not a factor. Oh

01:54:17.680 --> 01:54:21.860
We are skimming the ball. You do not want the ball to touch the ground floor is lava challenge

01:54:21.860 --> 01:54:27.660
And now it does that the ground pass to Eastmo from atomic and Eastmo pulls off of it so atomic can chew talk

01:54:28.060 --> 01:54:30.060
Does get a great stop here

01:54:30.580 --> 01:54:34.500
Again, for Burtis, and I've been able to really get too much of a foothold

01:54:35.980 --> 01:54:37.980
Offensively, they've got a shot of peace

01:54:38.420 --> 01:54:42.540
And they're looking for more of the air, the demo plays aren't working

01:54:42.740 --> 01:54:46.420
They just have to come up with something here, and you want to see it early

01:54:46.540 --> 01:54:48.980
But in their case, you want to see it, period

01:54:49.340 --> 01:54:53.220
Because again, going down 3-0 to NRG, you need not coming back from that

01:54:53.220 --> 01:54:59.220
I definitely haven't climbed and grew with you there. Daniel forces one out of the corner.

01:54:59.220 --> 01:55:04.220
These moments are nice. That gives you a few fun options at the time of jamming with zero boost.

01:55:04.220 --> 01:55:08.220
Daniel super aggressive challenged the first real opportunity for VP.

01:55:08.220 --> 01:55:10.220
You gotta find it. Indeed.

01:55:11.220 --> 01:55:15.220
And it's good because you saw what NRG picked their time to be aggressive.

01:55:15.220 --> 01:55:20.220
Too much of a large risk. Even Daniel on the side wall there. That's a good beat.

01:55:20.220 --> 01:55:22.740
And that is an open net.

01:55:22.740 --> 01:55:25.940
Don't get too many of those here, but Virtus.Pro capitalized,

01:55:25.940 --> 01:55:27.060
and that's what's important.

01:55:27.060 --> 01:55:30.180
Up 1-0, plenty of game time left.

01:55:30.180 --> 01:55:37.020
Talk, sitting at 375, he's got three saves to shoot at, 50%.

01:55:37.020 --> 01:55:40.460
Trying to give Atomic a choice, and that will be way B1B1.

01:55:40.460 --> 01:55:41.740
Nice, clear from Daniel.

01:55:41.740 --> 01:55:43.820
Two-piece going to have to fight off two players,

01:55:43.820 --> 01:55:47.340
and Atomic almost sticks them to the tarp board.

01:55:47.340 --> 01:55:49.840
and our G will just cover up and try and reset you.

01:55:52.240 --> 01:55:56.040
Look at Averna's movement has definitely been more...

01:55:58.240 --> 01:56:01.540
I would say ball provoked, tall, play that to the left side.

01:56:01.540 --> 01:56:03.940
Atomic has Beast Mode 3, job Beast Mode.

01:56:03.940 --> 01:56:05.740
Gonna get it through there, you'll follow up!

01:56:05.740 --> 01:56:08.140
Goal off the post!

01:56:08.140 --> 01:56:10.240
And our G don't score on this drive.

01:56:10.240 --> 01:56:12.040
They got it more work to do.

01:56:12.040 --> 01:56:14.440
And Beast Mode missed the midfield boost as well.

01:56:14.440 --> 01:56:19.080
advantage building slowly to peaceful force it. There's a bump. Where's the third man?

01:56:19.080 --> 01:56:22.920
He's got to be back. Grabbing boost. Maybe we'll push him off talk. Doesn't hit it hard and

01:56:22.920 --> 01:56:24.600
beast mode will find it clear.

01:56:26.760 --> 01:56:32.440
The bird is down. You can feel the pace of play for them increasing. They're getting much more faster

01:56:33.320 --> 01:56:38.920
and they've really been able to make NRG try to do the work offensively and defensively.

01:56:39.720 --> 01:56:43.880
Minute 30 left in regulation. They just have to continue to keep up the pace.

01:56:44.440 --> 01:56:51.440
It's very awkward to talk.

01:56:51.440 --> 01:56:54.440
It's got one of those you jump and you go, well, hang on.

01:56:54.440 --> 01:56:55.440
What actually am I doing here?

01:56:55.440 --> 01:56:56.440
No, in the B2, just look at it.

01:56:56.440 --> 01:56:57.440
Oh, two piece!

01:56:57.440 --> 01:56:58.440
What?

01:56:58.440 --> 01:56:59.440
It's in!

01:56:59.440 --> 01:57:00.440
He's right there!

01:57:00.440 --> 01:57:02.440
He shot it out of him and he wasn't expecting it.

01:57:02.440 --> 01:57:06.440
Good reader from two piece after waiting at the first touch.

01:57:06.440 --> 01:57:10.440
A laser right to B phone fell off the post.

01:57:10.440 --> 01:57:12.440
Doesn't matter how good you are.

01:57:12.440 --> 01:57:16.440
You can have one hour, you can have 20,000.

01:57:16.440 --> 01:57:20.440
The post will always come for you and you never know when.

01:57:20.440 --> 01:57:22.440
The post comes to collect.

01:57:22.440 --> 01:57:25.440
This time Beast Mode was the victim.

01:57:25.440 --> 01:57:28.440
Now NRG down by two,

01:57:28.440 --> 01:57:32.440
and Virdis Pearl in a comfortable spot

01:57:32.440 --> 01:57:35.440
for once here in the series.

01:57:35.440 --> 01:57:37.440
Time now has proved to be effective.

01:57:37.440 --> 01:57:40.440
Game not over as NRG got a place for the final seconds.

01:57:40.440 --> 01:57:43.140
But for Hurtest, this is exactly where you want to be.

01:57:43.140 --> 01:57:45.040
You just got to handle the pressure, look at energy.

01:57:45.040 --> 01:57:46.540
They're knocking at the door.

01:57:46.540 --> 01:57:47.840
They're sure trying.

01:57:47.840 --> 01:57:50.640
They will definitely give it a good go as they just make sure

01:57:50.640 --> 01:57:52.240
don't get hit first and foremost.

01:57:52.240 --> 01:57:53.640
They know they're going to meet everybody

01:57:53.640 --> 01:57:56.640
if they want a good transition.

01:57:56.640 --> 01:57:59.440
Right now, though, Hurtest Pro feels like they've got

01:57:59.440 --> 01:58:01.040
metal on block.

01:58:01.040 --> 01:58:04.040
Maybe that bump will help them.

01:58:04.040 --> 01:58:05.840
Good cut from Wavy.

01:58:05.840 --> 01:58:07.040
Tootie's waving center.

01:58:07.040 --> 01:58:09.040
Talk's going to die with this one.

01:58:09.040 --> 01:58:12.720
He's watching the clear, but NRG keeping it close.

01:58:12.720 --> 01:58:15.720
That pop, not the best pop, but two-piece will intercept.

01:58:15.720 --> 01:58:17.320
Eastmole used the last of his booze.

01:58:17.320 --> 01:58:19.520
Gameboy wanted to play to take out Wavy, but look at talk,

01:58:19.520 --> 01:58:20.200
though.

01:58:20.200 --> 01:58:21.800
Recognize the danger from Wavy?

01:58:21.800 --> 01:58:24.960
Got into the air so fast to learn how to play.

01:58:24.960 --> 01:58:26.120
Final 10 seconds.

01:58:26.120 --> 01:58:29.600
NRG would need this and a kickoff.

01:58:29.600 --> 01:58:31.480
Life touch, not enough.

01:58:31.480 --> 01:58:32.480
Talk with the clearance.

01:58:32.480 --> 01:58:33.240
We'll do it.

01:58:33.240 --> 01:58:35.320
Fertis pro takes game three.

01:58:35.320 --> 01:58:37.880
Tom, I'm trying to catch that one with a clip reset

01:58:37.880 --> 01:58:40.440
so he could really put the defense in the blender.

01:58:40.440 --> 01:58:42.120
Just missed it.

01:58:42.120 --> 01:58:43.960
But where does bro do you come out with a win

01:58:43.960 --> 01:58:44.800
after the timeout?

01:58:44.800 --> 01:58:45.800
And it was tight.

01:58:45.800 --> 01:58:48.040
That being said, felt like NRG.

01:58:48.040 --> 01:58:49.960
One big mistake started it off right,

01:58:49.960 --> 01:58:52.080
the super aggressive challenge out of the midfield

01:58:52.080 --> 01:58:54.320
where they gave up the completely open net.

01:58:54.320 --> 01:58:55.840
And then the second one walked back

01:58:55.840 --> 01:58:58.840
through with the, I'm trying to remember exactly what it

01:58:58.840 --> 01:59:00.640
was, but either way, it didn't matter.

01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:02.680
NRG not able to find a way back

01:59:02.680 --> 01:59:04.360
after conceding the lead.

01:59:04.360 --> 01:59:05.960
So I think game three would not

01:59:05.960 --> 01:59:10.120
He's surprised to see that third man be willing to take a little more time at the very least,

01:59:10.120 --> 01:59:17.120
because I think Verdes Pro knowing that NRG needed to make something happen definitely helped him form how they attacked.

01:59:17.120 --> 01:59:25.480
Yeah. And sometimes when you think about the attack too, it does come to, okay, we're going to welcome NRG in our half.

01:59:25.480 --> 01:59:29.640
So when it is our time to strike offensively, they're at their weakest.

01:59:29.640 --> 01:59:34.280
And then again, you can see kind of like the panic there on NRG on the back end, where,

01:59:34.280 --> 01:59:39.280
I guess panic is one thing, but just beast mode not being collected enough to read

01:59:39.280 --> 01:59:42.400
He's coming off the post there and then the back flip, you know

01:59:42.400 --> 01:59:46.760
Just kind of forcing the errors there. So now I'm very much trying to see if they can force a tie it up

01:59:46.760 --> 01:59:48.760
See here's guaranteeing us six games

01:59:49.440 --> 01:59:52.720
Can they continue to be to play on this level?

01:59:53.240 --> 01:59:55.960
Especially in the 0-0 scoreline energy are gonna make this a tight one

01:59:56.120 --> 01:59:59.840
Yeah, you've seen an energy kind of gives me a game if you want to call it that

01:59:59.840 --> 02:00:06.160
I think we're just very much earned it right it's no discredit to a team capitalizing on an opponent's mistakes

02:00:06.160 --> 02:00:09.680
That's that's what all the best teams do energy just showed they are human

02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:12.760
Look at Taric! Look at the muscle! No, don't steal it from him!

02:00:12.760 --> 02:00:16.200
He did all that good challenge where two peas, that's rude!

02:00:16.200 --> 02:00:19.560
Look, listen, he wanted to make sure it was going in!

02:00:19.560 --> 02:00:20.600
Two peas!

02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:22.600
Oh, yeah, he did steal it. No, he didn't.

02:00:22.600 --> 02:00:25.560
I don't want to run, bro! He's like, that's mine!

02:00:25.560 --> 02:00:27.880
Just such a force there.

02:00:27.880 --> 02:00:30.440
Low 50 man, that's what you got to do.

02:00:30.440 --> 02:00:32.240
Mix it up and talk to us.

02:00:32.240 --> 02:00:35.240
So, so effective on offense.

02:00:35.240 --> 02:00:37.640
Now, Curtis Crow with the start.

02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:43.260
Now, NRG, they know what to expect at this point.

02:00:43.260 --> 02:00:46.340
If you know what NRG is going to bring at you, everything.

02:00:46.340 --> 02:00:47.740
They're going to send the house.

02:00:47.740 --> 02:00:51.140
They're going to shoot plenty toward the net.

02:00:51.140 --> 02:00:54.580
Gale tries to start the opener here.

02:00:54.580 --> 02:00:56.140
And two-piece, they're ready.

02:00:56.140 --> 02:00:58.140
Even if two-piece was, and the timing was a little too far

02:00:58.140 --> 02:00:59.900
out, the people had been able to follow that.

02:00:59.900 --> 02:01:00.900
Beast mode planted close.

02:01:00.900 --> 02:01:01.900
Beast mode with the double.

02:01:01.900 --> 02:01:04.620
And Beast mode strikes were back time.

02:01:04.620 --> 02:01:05.700
You can feel it building.

02:01:05.700 --> 02:01:07.140
NRG getting all those boost skills.

02:01:07.140 --> 02:01:08.820
You see, only one guy would boost wavy,

02:01:08.820 --> 02:01:10.980
and he's stuck in a 1v2 on the side wall.

02:01:10.980 --> 02:01:12.780
We had a one striker in the middle,

02:01:12.780 --> 02:01:14.620
and yeah, he right got the flip.

02:01:14.620 --> 02:01:18.780
That was definitely a cherry on top.

02:01:18.780 --> 02:01:21.140
What a response, big counter punch here.

02:01:21.140 --> 02:01:23.380
Things might start to get really chaotic now.

02:01:23.380 --> 02:01:25.820
It's four lines starting to get opened up.

02:01:25.820 --> 02:01:27.180
Wavy, close to the ball.

02:01:27.180 --> 02:01:29.460
Two-piece will take in this mode.

02:01:29.460 --> 02:01:31.300
On top of it, Wavy will get the clearance.

02:01:31.300 --> 02:01:33.180
Has a lot of space here.

02:01:33.180 --> 02:01:34.060
What's he going to do with it?

02:01:34.060 --> 02:01:36.340
Got to play it low, get the figure of a one-ground

02:01:36.340 --> 02:01:38.340
Pinching Daniel had it red

02:01:41.780 --> 02:01:47.980
Tough to try and read those knees just high up the bar beast mode gives it back for a Tommy who says maybe not this time

02:01:47.980 --> 02:01:49.980
Let's just go back and

02:01:51.180 --> 02:01:54.340
Has a tonic under him. Yeah, you know gets past to

02:01:55.100 --> 02:01:59.860
Atomic all gets brought by two pieces not today slowing down the plate from NRG

02:01:59.860 --> 02:02:02.740
He's got the musty, but he's brought with the pot today.

02:02:02.740 --> 02:02:05.260
But the clear, he ain't gonna play it close.

02:02:05.260 --> 02:02:07.220
Can't get a hard touch, doesn't want to give up possession.

02:02:07.220 --> 02:02:08.460
At the time of the place, this one close too.

02:02:08.460 --> 02:02:11.260
Another 50, as an NRG, march up field.

02:02:11.260 --> 02:02:12.220
What's Gaea gonna do?

02:02:12.220 --> 02:02:15.060
Gets a beat here, but sends it straight to Wavy.

02:02:15.060 --> 02:02:15.900
That's a good one for Wavy.

02:02:15.900 --> 02:02:18.740
All he has to do is control this ball, keeps it close.

02:02:18.740 --> 02:02:22.020
He does, so Atami does get a little bit of a beat here.

02:02:22.020 --> 02:02:23.700
Get the double, put it on target,

02:02:23.700 --> 02:02:25.820
and QP's there to meet.

02:02:25.820 --> 02:02:26.980
All over it, well done.

02:02:26.980 --> 02:02:29.340
QP's hand picks up the free ball off the loose.

02:02:29.340 --> 02:02:29.840
Whoa!

02:02:29.840 --> 02:02:30.660
And there it is!

02:02:30.660 --> 02:02:32.100
Turn straight into the bank.

02:02:32.100 --> 02:02:34.060
Two P's, right place, right time.

02:02:34.060 --> 02:02:36.540
Makes the most of it.

02:02:36.540 --> 02:02:38.820
You're not expecting the 50 to go this way.

02:02:38.820 --> 02:02:41.140
He flanked the B-sports landing.

02:02:41.140 --> 02:02:44.860
He uses B-sports car to get extra juice behind the flank.

02:02:44.860 --> 02:02:45.860
What is that?

02:02:45.860 --> 02:02:46.860
Yeah, good luck, Daniel.

02:02:46.860 --> 02:02:49.140
That's what it is.

02:02:49.140 --> 02:02:51.900
Not ready for that one.

02:02:51.900 --> 02:02:54.500
OK, he's heading up here.

02:02:54.500 --> 02:02:55.940
Where does Pearl take the lead?

02:02:55.940 --> 02:03:01.100
We've had three goals in two minutes, which is in the fastest

02:03:01.100 --> 02:03:01.580
score.

02:03:01.580 --> 02:03:05.540
This year's making four atomic strikes now.

02:03:05.540 --> 02:03:07.180
Just the collapse in the corner talk.

02:03:07.180 --> 02:03:09.060
That's the wrong touch makes the extra hit.

02:03:09.060 --> 02:03:10.620
But atomic holds the flip.

02:03:10.620 --> 02:03:13.940
The two-way speed's wavy, and then you collapse.

02:03:16.900 --> 02:03:18.140
It wasn't atomic.

02:03:18.140 --> 02:03:20.340
Oh, that's bad.

02:03:20.340 --> 02:03:21.460
That is bad.

02:03:21.460 --> 02:03:22.620
Forced error.

02:03:25.940 --> 02:03:30.580
And now down, well not down, but it feels like

02:03:30.580 --> 02:03:32.740
it might be down though, the moment of fact we should

02:03:32.740 --> 02:03:33.740
get it.

02:03:33.740 --> 02:03:34.740
You're emotionally shattered.

02:03:34.740 --> 02:03:35.740
Yeah.

02:03:35.740 --> 02:03:36.740
You gotta bring it back.

02:03:36.740 --> 02:03:39.900
Every time you get to lean on NRG, they're getting

02:03:39.900 --> 02:03:44.860
one and in the most unconventional ways, that time you did it yourself.

02:03:44.860 --> 02:03:48.620
I like to consider it a volatile vibe, right?

02:03:48.620 --> 02:03:51.060
You have the ground pinched off the beast's most

02:03:51.060 --> 02:03:55.460
car, the fleet that beats Daniel, and then of course the scales had to balance.

02:03:55.460 --> 02:03:58.140
We all know he wasn't trying to pinch it, Todd.

02:03:58.140 --> 02:03:58.980
Oh, hey!

02:04:00.740 --> 02:04:01.980
They're that one though.

02:04:01.980 --> 02:04:03.540
They're that one!

02:04:03.540 --> 02:04:04.660
Finally, an early lead.

02:04:04.660 --> 02:04:06.820
Look at this reader from two-piece though.

02:04:06.820 --> 02:04:08.700
Great light touch, Mogan having a boost

02:04:08.700 --> 02:04:10.140
and Todd took it from him.

02:04:10.140 --> 02:04:11.460
He was looking for that pass

02:04:11.460 --> 02:04:14.260
ever since he stole that top left boost on his side.

02:04:14.260 --> 02:04:17.860
Now, again, Virtus Pro up here.

02:04:17.860 --> 02:04:19.900
Five gold game.

02:04:19.900 --> 02:04:21.500
And we're only halfway through.

02:04:21.500 --> 02:04:27.580
maybe starting to come online talk squeezing two-piece starting to look real

02:04:27.580 --> 02:04:30.660
solid out of the midfield line where this probably definitely improving how

02:04:30.660 --> 02:04:33.620
they're taking those challenges they said look we can't get those delay touches

02:04:33.620 --> 02:04:39.100
we got to go take it to them it's definitely the situation talk with a

02:04:39.100 --> 02:04:42.620
good effort took two players from energy out two-piece force was zero

02:04:42.620 --> 02:04:46.220
though and maybe also has to collect a hundred be should be okay here but you

02:04:46.220 --> 02:04:48.940
I never know Daniel, making them look close.

02:04:49.920 --> 02:04:52.020
Yeah, I mean the way this game is going,

02:04:52.020 --> 02:04:55.280
the unexpected touches that have happened

02:04:55.280 --> 02:04:57.140
between players has just been,

02:04:57.140 --> 02:05:01.660
made this really a uncomfortable game to gauge.

02:05:01.660 --> 02:05:04.900
These amazing like simple saves have not been the case.

02:05:05.980 --> 02:05:10.900
And NRG trying to see if they can get something back here.

02:05:10.900 --> 02:05:12.420
As the topic looks for the bump on talk,

02:05:12.420 --> 02:05:13.660
beast mode up in the sky.

02:05:13.660 --> 02:05:17.100
He's a free shot! Daniel! No, he missed the game!

02:05:17.100 --> 02:05:19.820
There's a close one though. He knew he had to pick somewhere in the net.

02:05:19.820 --> 02:05:23.900
He saw the defender go up and out the back, and he knows that gives you a lot of flexibility,

02:05:23.900 --> 02:05:26.540
so he chose his best line. Daniel makes a good stop.

02:05:26.540 --> 02:05:31.900
Thankfully, that one's off the bar. Atomic was flat, put it on the line, and it will remain 3-3.

02:05:31.900 --> 02:05:36.380
NRG needs something from Dale here. Maybe another shot chance for the Beast Mode, actually,

02:05:36.380 --> 02:05:39.340
is the one who gets it in. He's 2-for-2!

02:05:39.340 --> 02:05:42.140
And this is why we want our challenges to come from the first man.

02:05:42.140 --> 02:05:44.580
Man, I know talk gets bumped, but you might as well cut.

02:05:44.580 --> 02:05:47.500
And Tom is going to go take out the guy behind you.

02:05:47.500 --> 02:05:49.420
And what a bump that's right.

02:05:49.420 --> 02:05:52.100
NRG tying up.

02:05:52.100 --> 02:05:55.860
Oh, man, yeah.

02:05:55.860 --> 02:05:57.620
NRG off ball.

02:05:57.620 --> 02:06:01.100
Atomic, able to open that play up.

02:06:01.100 --> 02:06:02.700
And now, like you said, B-Smo,

02:06:02.700 --> 02:06:05.820
getting involved here in the scoring, which

02:06:05.820 --> 02:06:07.740
it's one of these situations where I feel like you kind

02:06:07.740 --> 02:06:08.220
of need them to.

02:06:08.220 --> 02:06:09.780
Daniel is 0 for 5 right now.

02:06:09.780 --> 02:06:11.700
He's been great on defense.

02:06:11.700 --> 02:06:14.100
with three saves and they get clutch.

02:06:14.100 --> 02:06:16.860
But when you're down in this series, in this game,

02:06:16.860 --> 02:06:19.500
I should say you need someone to get on that scoring line.

02:06:19.500 --> 02:06:22.260
Now Atomic would be doing a great job

02:06:22.260 --> 02:06:25.500
of creating for NRG all game long.

02:06:25.500 --> 02:06:27.180
You want to see if he could set something up there.

02:06:27.180 --> 02:06:29.260
Daniel will give him a little bit of space,

02:06:29.260 --> 02:06:31.100
but maybe a chance for a transition here.

02:06:31.100 --> 02:06:32.700
Now it's being cut out.

02:06:32.700 --> 02:06:34.300
You know, there is one thing you can always say

02:06:34.300 --> 02:06:35.820
about Atomic, no matter what.

02:06:35.820 --> 02:06:38.540
He does not take the obvious route to the net.

02:06:38.540 --> 02:06:40.180
You get, because you know, everyone thinks,

02:06:40.180 --> 02:06:42.740
He's just going to get a tack, look where he said whatever,

02:06:42.740 --> 02:06:45.060
but you see him take his left touch in the corner some time

02:06:45.060 --> 02:06:46.900
as Daniel tries to dunk it.

02:06:46.900 --> 02:06:49.220
And it's that willingness to go off the beaten path

02:06:49.220 --> 02:06:51.540
that really adds a lot of value to a guy like that.

02:06:51.540 --> 02:06:54.860
He reads the game so quickly, it's so dangerous.

02:06:54.860 --> 02:06:57.140
Seven seconds left here in regulation

02:06:57.140 --> 02:07:00.220
and looking like overtime unless something changes here.

02:07:00.220 --> 02:07:02.380
Beast mode, does he want to keep this up?

02:07:02.380 --> 02:07:03.740
It does stay up.

02:07:03.740 --> 02:07:04.780
Thomas chasing it down.

02:07:04.780 --> 02:07:05.580
So is Daniel.

02:07:05.580 --> 02:07:06.460
Way to actually pass it.

02:07:06.460 --> 02:07:07.300
That might be dangerous.

02:07:07.300 --> 02:07:08.300
Dale, upfield.

02:07:08.300 --> 02:07:09.300
This one's getting set to him.

02:07:09.300 --> 02:07:12.640
trying to get the strike down, but it was cut out, and we have OT.

02:07:12.640 --> 02:07:16.380
They're talking about the mood to find out they're definitely the right idea.

02:07:16.380 --> 02:07:18.760
There's a decent kickoff wavy, but a job.

02:07:18.760 --> 02:07:21.720
Needs a little help, talk, wants the world's biggest double tap,

02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:23.720
he needs a little help, and now it's cleared out.

02:07:23.720 --> 02:07:25.440
Here comes two weeks, getting a job.

02:07:25.440 --> 02:07:27.240
Beast mode equal to it out of the net.

02:07:27.240 --> 02:07:30.800
Daniel will pick up his corner boost, pops wavy in the mouth a little bit,

02:07:30.800 --> 02:07:35.360
but actually Paul comes right back to him, and Verus Brogan stay on the attack for a second.

02:07:35.360 --> 02:07:41.360
I'm gonna clear out two P's, one boost, wavy off the ceiling, what's he doing, double?

02:07:41.360 --> 02:07:43.360
Oh, just make the two feet shot!

02:07:43.360 --> 02:07:44.360
Bang!

02:07:44.360 --> 02:07:45.360
Woo-hoo!

02:07:45.360 --> 02:07:48.360
This is the value of the threat.

02:07:48.360 --> 02:07:52.360
Wavy, wavy off the ceiling, everyone on the backboard can see him coming in.

02:07:52.360 --> 02:07:54.360
You never know, you gotta respect that double touch.

02:07:54.360 --> 02:07:57.360
It freezes the time we got the backboard, but he's got zero boost.

02:07:57.360 --> 02:07:59.360
And what a bit of placement.

02:07:59.360 --> 02:08:00.360
Bottom left corner.

02:08:00.360 --> 02:08:02.360
We needed something from Verna's pro.

02:08:02.360 --> 02:08:04.360
Boy, we got it.

02:08:04.360 --> 02:08:06.240
Well, serious.

02:08:06.240 --> 02:08:09.880
And then you had to fight for it because NRG.

02:08:09.880 --> 02:08:14.040
I mean, there's been a couple of goals that game that were

02:08:14.040 --> 02:08:15.720
like what just happened.

02:08:15.720 --> 02:08:18.160
But outside of that, NRG really made them work.

02:08:18.160 --> 02:08:20.120
Lots of their prices on offense.

02:08:20.120 --> 02:08:23.040
They sent 10 shots at them.

02:08:23.040 --> 02:08:23.480
Virtus.

02:08:23.480 --> 02:08:26.440
Pearl responded with 10 of their own.

02:08:26.440 --> 02:08:29.200
You look back at the stats here, not too physical.

02:08:29.200 --> 02:08:30.080
Is that for Virtus.

02:08:30.080 --> 02:08:32.920
Pearl and RG only had one demo.

02:08:32.920 --> 02:08:34.440
And the third of the bump was there.

02:08:34.440 --> 02:08:36.800
The Verdespar did a great job of managing it.

02:08:36.800 --> 02:08:39.960
I think that was also partially key to their success,

02:08:39.960 --> 02:08:42.920
and that they were just so slippery.

02:08:42.920 --> 02:08:47.120
And now, here we are, MRG has caught a time out.

02:08:47.120 --> 02:08:48.560
It's a good time, Collin.

02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:51.240
One of the most important is definitely adjusting.

02:08:51.240 --> 02:08:53.160
It's certainly not the game you're getting games one or two.

02:08:53.160 --> 02:08:56.720
And there's that chicken, with a pinch of power

02:08:56.720 --> 02:08:58.360
and one of all across.

02:08:58.360 --> 02:09:00.040
You'd like to see a couple of blue steals.

02:09:00.040 --> 02:09:06.200
definitely a big turnaround for Virtus. Pro in a roller coaster of a game for that's for sure

02:09:06.920 --> 02:09:09.720
Absolute madness. I think it's the right move if you're in our G

02:09:09.720 --> 02:09:11.400
Even if you're still confident you're gonna win

02:09:11.400 --> 02:09:14.280
You gotta just you got to get off the ride for a second

02:09:14.280 --> 02:09:17.800
I think after a game like that and just reassess for a second

02:09:18.680 --> 02:09:19.880
Yeah

02:09:19.880 --> 02:09:25.560
Reassess maybe even like slow it down for a little bit, you know again vertus get a lot of momentum off of that game win and

02:09:25.560 --> 02:09:30.560
And now for NRG, kind of understanding,

02:09:30.760 --> 02:09:32.520
like sticking to that play style.

02:09:32.520 --> 02:09:36.000
And for them, you know, you talk about

02:09:36.960 --> 02:09:41.040
what to expect here from NRG as a lot of people have touted

02:09:41.040 --> 02:09:42.760
them as the number one team in the world,

02:09:42.760 --> 02:09:43.600
or down the world,

02:09:43.600 --> 02:09:45.080
some people in the world have won a championship.

02:09:45.080 --> 02:09:46.960
But now it's been put into question

02:09:46.960 --> 02:09:48.240
if they're even number one in America

02:09:48.240 --> 02:09:50.200
based on how the season has gone on,

02:09:50.200 --> 02:09:51.840
or in A as the season has gone on.

02:09:51.840 --> 02:09:55.400
I mean, a lot of people expect them

02:09:55.400 --> 02:09:57.960
if they are still that number one team to come through

02:09:57.960 --> 02:10:01.460
and have a dominant win, win this event.

02:10:01.460 --> 02:10:04.000
I didn't just make the major win the event,

02:10:04.000 --> 02:10:06.080
but the competition is starting to rise

02:10:06.080 --> 02:10:07.240
and they've really been pushed

02:10:07.240 --> 02:10:09.560
to make some adjustments here.

02:10:09.560 --> 02:10:11.240
Hey man, game is hard.

02:10:11.240 --> 02:10:13.960
It's hard to stay on top, you know?

02:10:13.960 --> 02:10:17.080
NRG has finally, I think, been crushing souls

02:10:17.080 --> 02:10:18.400
in North America for long enough

02:10:18.400 --> 02:10:20.440
that everyone else has finally learned

02:10:20.440 --> 02:10:24.000
that we gotta improve and boy have they.

02:10:24.000 --> 02:10:28.000
pro giving them a run for their money it is no longer comfortable right games

02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:32.940
one and two felt comfortable games three of four much less so gave away game

02:10:32.940 --> 02:10:38.680
three it was a battle for game four how much does the veteran experience pay

02:10:38.680 --> 02:10:45.640
off in game five vertus pro fighting hard to try and make it back live stage

02:10:45.640 --> 02:10:48.640
It's a big one. It's the one Virtus.pro needs.

02:10:48.640 --> 02:10:49.640
Yeah.

02:10:49.640 --> 02:10:51.640
Knee.

02:10:51.640 --> 02:10:53.640
Not even an exaggeration.

02:10:54.640 --> 02:10:56.640
How will they start this one out?

02:10:56.640 --> 02:10:58.640
How do they respond after NRG take a timeout?

02:10:58.640 --> 02:11:00.640
There's Tog got the flip there.

02:11:00.640 --> 02:11:03.640
Wanted a little bit more of a nail there to meet the ball.

02:11:03.640 --> 02:11:05.640
Now Virtus.

02:11:06.640 --> 02:11:08.640
Have a little bit of room here on offense.

02:11:08.640 --> 02:11:11.640
Making NRG stressed to get the clearances.

02:11:11.640 --> 02:11:14.640
Atomic the great follow-up to eliminate the danger.

02:11:14.640 --> 02:11:17.000
and then setting up a potential play,

02:11:17.000 --> 02:11:18.680
Daniel not going to get the boost.

02:11:18.680 --> 02:11:19.920
Opps to just play the ball high.

02:11:19.920 --> 02:11:20.760
Look at Taco.

02:11:20.760 --> 02:11:22.640
Reed off the ceiling from that,

02:11:22.640 --> 02:11:23.640
turned it to a pass away,

02:11:23.640 --> 02:11:25.880
which almost turned it to another shot.

02:11:25.880 --> 02:11:26.720
Not a bad idea.

02:11:26.720 --> 02:11:27.560
I agree with you.

02:11:27.560 --> 02:11:29.240
I thought Daniel was going to take that midfield boost

02:11:29.240 --> 02:11:30.080
as well.

02:11:30.080 --> 02:11:31.280
Atop it was just playing for the bump,

02:11:31.280 --> 02:11:32.720
B-Smo not able to beat two,

02:11:32.720 --> 02:11:34.080
but he does collect the core.

02:11:34.080 --> 02:11:35.000
He will pay for it.

02:11:35.000 --> 02:11:38.520
Well, apparently neutral battleground here

02:11:38.520 --> 02:11:39.920
at the start of game five.

02:11:39.920 --> 02:11:42.640
Both teams feels very much the poking prod.

02:11:42.640 --> 02:11:50.280
Yeah, I've noticed during the time now you didn't really see NRG talking at all kind of makes you feel like okay

02:11:50.280 --> 02:11:54.620
They already know what they have to do and that's about execution

02:11:55.960 --> 02:11:57.400
We'll see

02:11:57.400 --> 02:12:00.960
How this game goes talks a lot the ceiling to peace pre-job

02:12:00.960 --> 02:12:06.680
But this red where I have to go to have to peel off. He's a lot of booze just to keep NRG in their own half and

02:12:07.320 --> 02:12:11.000
Maybe will force the play track about both Gale and atomic. Now. He's out to play

02:12:12.640 --> 02:12:14.640
Just don't let him do it to you.

02:12:14.640 --> 02:12:16.640
I mean, I always get so worried when I see teams

02:12:16.640 --> 02:12:18.640
just let people dribble the ball.

02:12:18.640 --> 02:12:20.640
Even if they have zero boost, every meter

02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:22.640
he gets with it, it's just free real estate.

02:12:22.640 --> 02:12:24.640
It makes me so anxious.

02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:26.640
You expect a first, you expect a challenge

02:12:26.640 --> 02:12:28.640
on the ball after the flick.

02:12:28.640 --> 02:12:30.640
Like, it's normal to force a flick.

02:12:30.640 --> 02:12:32.640
Why is he forcing a flick?

02:12:32.640 --> 02:12:34.640
You still have the old mind.

02:12:34.640 --> 02:12:36.640
Oh, my goodness. Cooked up!

02:12:36.640 --> 02:12:38.640
You've got a barter!

02:12:38.640 --> 02:12:40.640
Atomic!

02:12:40.640 --> 02:12:42.640
in the kitchen.

02:12:42.640 --> 02:12:43.640
Shake it, mate.

02:12:43.640 --> 02:12:44.640
Start a step.

02:12:44.640 --> 02:12:45.640
Got him.

02:12:45.640 --> 02:12:47.640
Cook two people and say, here you go, Beast Mode.

02:12:47.640 --> 02:12:48.640
You're right.

02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:49.640
On a platter for the boy.

02:12:49.640 --> 02:12:51.640
He's not missing that one.

02:12:51.640 --> 02:12:56.640
We see players do so many amazing things with them all in the air.

02:12:56.640 --> 02:12:59.640
That makes the ground game so impressive.

02:12:59.640 --> 02:13:03.640
And Atomic there didn't need to jump to get past the verdice.

02:13:03.640 --> 02:13:04.640
And almost a chup.

02:13:04.640 --> 02:13:05.640
Play there for first and strike back.

02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:09.640
Daniel got the same Atomic now in the air looking to play.

02:13:09.640 --> 02:13:15.000
looking to play. Oh, he just has it. He's gonna win for a buck. I'm pretty sure. No,

02:13:15.000 --> 02:13:19.400
as Daniel going up to look at him, chase me down all the way up the wall. Got a piece

02:13:19.400 --> 02:13:26.080
of them said no back wall saves for you, my boy. He's walking in. So it might not

02:13:26.080 --> 02:13:31.360
show up on the statue with the bumps, but that's an assist. That is one if we ever

02:13:31.360 --> 02:13:35.360
13-1. Daniel Clearing the lane there and

02:13:35.360 --> 02:13:39.360
NRG now up by 2 halfway through this

02:13:39.360 --> 02:13:43.360
game, they have really just

02:13:43.360 --> 02:13:47.360
played the ball well. Whether it's playing the brown

02:13:47.360 --> 02:13:51.360
game, you're going to pass the defense or just pushing it out the way

02:13:51.360 --> 02:13:55.360
it's been so effective. Yeah. Right back to that

02:13:55.360 --> 02:13:59.360
calm, cool, collected style. You mentioned it right

02:13:59.360 --> 02:14:02.640
off the kickoff you know it's all about the execution you know what's got to

02:14:02.640 --> 02:14:08.640
happen getting too wrapped up in it it felt like that or it did him some good

02:14:08.640 --> 02:14:13.400
time just needs to reset here's wavy though looking for one and what a save

02:14:13.400 --> 02:14:17.800
on the goal line for Daniel three shot from wavy don't want to give too many

02:14:17.800 --> 02:14:23.600
more of those how do you get out of that zero so good I'll talk though

02:14:23.600 --> 02:14:29.360
chance to shoot. There's a pop of Beast Mode there to save the game time. Two-piece tried

02:14:29.360 --> 02:14:35.280
to get it down to Wavy. It was cleared up by Atomic, taught since it's center. It is. It was slightly

02:14:35.280 --> 02:14:41.120
on, but not too threatening at all. I think I might have hit the post there. Wavy to Two-piece,

02:14:41.120 --> 02:14:47.040
cut out again. Atomic has just been the safeguard on that back wall. Now Beast Mode,

02:14:47.040 --> 02:14:51.520
with a chance to do it all himself, can't really make contact. And Wavy got a bear

02:14:51.520 --> 02:14:55.520
because of it. You pull the string on him. You really think he's going to hit it.

02:14:55.520 --> 02:15:00.160
An NRG up two. You don't necessarily care if they go for an attack that has no teeth,

02:15:00.160 --> 02:15:04.160
because they know they don't have to score. You're right. It makes you look a lot worse

02:15:04.160 --> 02:15:10.800
than you are sometimes. It's not fair. Yep. A lot of respect on the side of a

02:15:10.800 --> 02:15:16.560
verdict for NRG. So sometimes it'll get away from you, but NRG at this point,

02:15:16.560 --> 02:15:21.280
it does feel like clock management is in play. They get it to the ball quickly,

02:15:21.280 --> 02:15:25.680
but they're not taking risks the question is going to be when will you see a risk from virdis

02:15:26.320 --> 02:15:32.480
maybe sooner or talk a aggressive third man has way behind him has two bees up mid two bees with

02:15:32.480 --> 02:15:36.800
the cart here but no another boost here on the side of virdis doesn't feel like this attack is

02:15:36.800 --> 02:15:42.640
going to mount so much man especially with Daniel in that one that's it's been here regularly

02:15:42.640 --> 02:15:48.560
scheduled hang on NRG playing defense for two two minutes uh this is why people think they're

02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:54.560
defensive team you know why because they get themselves in leads and they don't force it yeah

02:15:55.360 --> 02:16:01.520
and you can you can see how that looks too it feels like they've got things under control

02:16:02.480 --> 02:16:09.760
vertus though feel blind maybe a chance here wait he can't connect it was a good look

02:16:09.760 --> 02:16:16.480
all you have to do is put the shot on comes up empty and so is vertus pro this game

02:16:16.480 --> 02:16:19.200
And this one hits the ground.

02:16:19.200 --> 02:16:22.560
It'll be a two-all scoreline again.

02:16:22.560 --> 02:16:25.360
NRG regain control of the series.

02:16:25.360 --> 02:16:29.840
I know it's unlikely that Virtus.Pro is going to find something,

02:16:29.840 --> 02:16:32.480
even if Wavy blasted that one into the net.

02:16:32.480 --> 02:16:33.760
And boy, would it have been pretty.

02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:37.200
But there are a few things that feel worse than knowing

02:16:37.200 --> 02:16:40.400
you need to score, whipping the ball,

02:16:40.400 --> 02:16:44.160
and then putting your team on that point.

02:16:44.160 --> 02:16:46.160
Does not feel good if you're Wavy right there.

02:16:46.160 --> 02:16:49.280
You want to at least make contact and have them make the same,

02:16:49.280 --> 02:16:53.000
but the clean with that feels bad.

02:16:53.000 --> 02:16:53.640
Yeah, it does.

02:16:53.640 --> 02:16:54.640
It does.

02:16:54.640 --> 02:16:58.880
It just feels like once the game got away from them,

02:16:58.880 --> 02:17:01.160
NRG kind of shifted how they played,

02:17:01.160 --> 02:17:06.200
and Virtus just struggled to get anything going after that.

02:17:06.200 --> 02:17:06.700
It's tough.

02:17:06.700 --> 02:17:10.920
Those are tough situations, but NRG is not up to.

02:17:10.920 --> 02:17:12.160
They take care of business.

02:17:12.160 --> 02:17:14.160
That's exactly what they have to do here at this station.

02:17:14.160 --> 02:17:15.920
They let a couple of games get away from them.

02:17:15.920 --> 02:17:21.920
time out and they come off of it looking at this product. It's nice. Like I said, just

02:17:21.920 --> 02:17:26.320
slow it down a little bit, got a little bit of the ground game here. The Virtus.Pro has

02:17:26.320 --> 02:17:32.320
been so keyed up, just the pace of play went up and up and up and they could not,

02:17:32.320 --> 02:17:37.600
you know, shift back down a gear, right? And NRG, again, back to that game one and two,

02:17:37.600 --> 02:17:42.160
manipulate the challenge timing, put themselves in some good spots. Virtus.Pro

02:17:42.160 --> 02:17:47.040
So, gotta go back to those discipline challenges on the ground in the air.

02:17:47.040 --> 02:17:48.200
I love the looks now.

02:17:48.200 --> 02:17:52.160
I mean, Virtus.Pro challenging involved much better since games one and two out of the air.

02:17:52.160 --> 02:17:57.160
That's been a great, a great, but right now the ground game dip paid big in game five.

02:17:57.160 --> 02:18:00.160
I got to ask, do you see a seven here?

02:18:00.160 --> 02:18:06.160
I need, I need, I don't think I see seven right now.

02:18:06.160 --> 02:18:10.160
I don't think there's enough teeth on the Virtus.Pro attack, you know?

02:18:10.160 --> 02:18:14.600
It doesn't feel like it's really been, well, I guess game three was pretty good.

02:18:14.600 --> 02:18:19.280
And game four was pretty good, but I don't know if that's repeatable.

02:18:19.280 --> 02:18:24.640
Yeah, it feels like, again, they started to slow down, they got to find their bite here.

02:18:24.640 --> 02:18:30.880
Again, major race, need to win this one.

02:18:30.880 --> 02:18:32.600
But World's Conversation is well.

02:18:32.600 --> 02:18:37.320
Oh, Daniel Streitz, NRG are trying to lay vertus to rest.

02:18:37.320 --> 02:18:39.320
Wavy, we're gonna clear out.

02:18:39.320 --> 02:18:41.000
Gets a win here on Beast Mode.

02:18:41.000 --> 02:18:43.280
Daniel on the back wall is ready to meet it.

02:18:43.280 --> 02:18:44.880
Tark jumped for that.

02:18:44.880 --> 02:18:46.600
And now, Atomic trying to get the buck

02:18:46.600 --> 02:18:51.120
on two-piece, two-piece maneuver correctly to get the save.

02:18:51.120 --> 02:18:52.640
And Beast Mode will find the block.

02:18:52.640 --> 02:18:55.920
Daniel will pick it up with zero, best 50 incoming.

02:18:55.920 --> 02:18:58.480
And Tark wisely just out into open space

02:18:58.480 --> 02:19:03.120
and full reset in order for British Pro.

02:19:03.120 --> 02:19:05.520
All Beast Mode double run.

02:19:05.520 --> 02:19:08.760
Daniel just right on top of the two get pre-jumped there.

02:19:08.760 --> 02:19:11.520
Lady struggling to get the clearance out.

02:19:11.520 --> 02:19:14.120
Furnace Pearl struggling to get out of their own half.

02:19:14.120 --> 02:19:17.320
NRG looking to swarm atomic to B's full pre-jump.

02:19:17.320 --> 02:19:18.360
But he don't miss.

02:19:18.360 --> 02:19:19.680
Daniel has no boost here.

02:19:19.680 --> 02:19:20.760
He's not going for that at all.

02:19:20.760 --> 02:19:21.600
He can't.

02:19:21.600 --> 02:19:22.440
He did!

02:19:22.440 --> 02:19:23.260
What?

02:19:23.260 --> 02:19:24.100
Lady calling for it?

02:19:24.100 --> 02:19:24.920
Oh!

02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:25.760
No way!

02:19:25.760 --> 02:19:27.360
Furnace get one!

02:19:27.360 --> 02:19:28.680
Ha ha ha!

02:19:28.680 --> 02:19:30.960
You thought for sure there's no reason to force it.

02:19:30.960 --> 02:19:31.960
He cuts hard.

02:19:31.960 --> 02:19:32.960
Oh!

02:19:32.960 --> 02:19:33.800
Look at that.

02:19:33.800 --> 02:19:34.840
Second man.

02:19:34.840 --> 02:19:37.040
You don't need boost and things are crutch.

02:19:37.040 --> 02:19:38.880
You just get in the other guy's head.

02:19:40.920 --> 02:19:45.280
Oh my, Curtis now trying to send us to seven.

02:19:45.280 --> 02:19:46.680
They show claws late.

02:19:47.640 --> 02:19:51.200
Daniel needs to make up for tries to

02:19:51.200 --> 02:19:53.640
and doesn't amount to much.

02:19:53.640 --> 02:19:55.200
Beast mode, I'll just keep this in with low boost.

02:19:55.200 --> 02:19:58.800
Atomic, trying to get himself involved for two piece.

02:19:58.800 --> 02:20:01.360
Such a good 50 there, a little awkward here.

02:20:01.360 --> 02:20:03.080
For Curtis, Beast mode again,

02:20:03.080 --> 02:20:06.720
trying to test the patience of the defenses with me.

02:20:06.720 --> 02:20:09.840
He's just so good with these low-fool situations,

02:20:09.840 --> 02:20:10.920
taking the time.

02:20:10.920 --> 02:20:14.120
He even wants to make NRG play his game.

02:20:14.120 --> 02:20:16.920
Oh, again, it just pops somebody in the mouth

02:20:16.920 --> 02:20:18.500
off the back line for Virtus.

02:20:18.500 --> 02:20:23.360
Pro's NRG trying to make it as difficult as possible

02:20:23.360 --> 02:20:23.720
for Virtus.

02:20:23.720 --> 02:20:26.720
Pro to have smooth follow-up.

02:20:26.720 --> 02:20:27.560
If I like how Virtus.

02:20:27.560 --> 02:20:30.000
Pro approaching this, even though they could be in what

02:20:30.000 --> 02:20:31.920
would be considered a bad spot,

02:20:31.920 --> 02:20:33.920
They don't show any real shake here.

02:20:33.920 --> 02:20:37.120
Talk, they challenge low boost, two-piece does go.

02:20:37.120 --> 02:20:39.760
Beast mode up, they talk, doesn't get a light touch.

02:20:39.760 --> 02:20:42.880
Daniel shot, oh, it's saved by two-piece,

02:20:42.880 --> 02:20:44.040
we're at the goal line.

02:20:44.040 --> 02:20:45.960
Atomic will go off the ladder, look at Wavy,

02:20:45.960 --> 02:20:48.280
the wally free jump to cut it out.

02:20:48.280 --> 02:20:50.600
What a job for Wavy, I mean, he was just getting

02:20:50.600 --> 02:20:53.080
bullied out of his own box by Beast mode landing

02:20:53.080 --> 02:20:54.080
and rotating out.

02:20:54.080 --> 02:20:56.400
I have no idea how he had enough boost

02:20:56.400 --> 02:20:58.960
to get all the way up to that one.

02:20:58.960 --> 02:21:00.400
Atomic with the 50, Beast mode across,

02:21:00.400 --> 02:21:10.400
Gale goes up, Beast Mode looking for the right time to get into this play as Tom, on top of the ball, Beast Mode though takes it, little bit of a gap here for Beast Mode and he fell to the mix!

02:21:10.400 --> 02:21:27.400
What a job from Beast Mode out of the corner, just picks it up from Taki, saw it get a little bit too far ahead of him, comp cool, just make the read, don't rush it, just get it on frame and make him make a stop-talk, not equal to the task with 0, felt the pressure in our G-equalize.

02:21:27.400 --> 02:21:31.120
Time of game. Scary of your

02:21:31.120 --> 02:21:34.000
verdicts now and RG could end things here.

02:21:34.000 --> 02:21:35.480
Here's Daniel.

02:21:35.480 --> 02:21:38.600
Have to flip off the first touch stays on top of it.

02:21:38.600 --> 02:21:39.680
Tries to force it through.

02:21:39.680 --> 02:21:41.160
Atomic will go up now and has

02:21:41.160 --> 02:21:42.320
peace mode under him.

02:21:42.320 --> 02:21:43.280
The way be great.

02:21:43.280 --> 02:21:44.120
Can't have it seen.

02:21:44.120 --> 02:21:47.200
Virtus though on offense in quite some time and RG

02:21:47.200 --> 02:21:48.640
are keeping his ball at the blue haves.

02:21:48.640 --> 02:21:50.800
Daniel picks it up, plays a 50,

02:21:50.800 --> 02:21:52.200
sent all the way across.

02:21:52.200 --> 02:21:54.720
And atomic will take this one now in RG

02:21:54.720 --> 02:21:56.800
looking for more past the base mode.

02:21:56.800 --> 02:21:58.720
Oh, it's off the post!

02:21:58.720 --> 02:22:00.240
You knew the breach up was coming.

02:22:00.240 --> 02:22:02.200
As soon as they got that ball going left and right,

02:22:02.200 --> 02:22:04.280
you're like, that next one's going to be quick.

02:22:04.280 --> 02:22:07.960
In Verna's pro, fortunately, it wasn't in the net.

02:22:07.960 --> 02:22:08.840
Oh, they're still.

02:22:08.840 --> 02:22:10.240
They still can't get it out.

02:22:10.240 --> 02:22:12.560
And aren't you trying to get atomic with a shot?

02:22:12.560 --> 02:22:16.120
Beast mode, free ball, two-piece go there to meet him.

02:22:16.120 --> 02:22:17.800
And Daniel will come up.

02:22:17.800 --> 02:22:19.520
Daniel, not afraid to just get in there,

02:22:19.520 --> 02:22:22.160
try to see if he can make it uncomfortable.

02:22:22.160 --> 02:22:23.320
Finally to the midfield line.

02:22:23.320 --> 02:22:25.880
And finally out, her to get some breathing room.

02:22:25.880 --> 02:22:29.300
Two piece once a double, God if a beastmo was there to meet him,

02:22:29.300 --> 02:22:32.980
Vertus Pro needs to keep this in the energy half of its set back again.

02:22:32.980 --> 02:22:35.740
And look how quickly Daniel has to close out the space.

02:22:35.740 --> 02:22:39.780
Great recoveries though from Vertus Pro, they all picked up a good chunk of boost.

02:22:39.780 --> 02:22:44.380
Two piece, and a Daniel though from Daniel on top will just ruin any chance of

02:22:44.380 --> 02:22:48.060
building an attack at the time, he's gonna waste time off the clock energy.

02:22:48.060 --> 02:22:51.460
I feel like they'll only get more and more confident as the pressure wraps up.

02:22:51.460 --> 02:22:57.820
Oh, Daniel has to get a save there, Wavy, healer of a shot, talk now, brings us on the

02:22:57.820 --> 02:23:02.420
Tommik back wall, talk clip reset, Tommik was there to read it, two-piece, doesn't go

02:23:02.420 --> 02:23:06.020
immediately, gets tickled, and Wavy has to watch out.

02:23:06.020 --> 02:23:11.780
Got the boost stolen from him by Tommik, Wavy and talk, no boost, Daniel plays it

02:23:11.780 --> 02:23:15.740
high, no, there's teams on the back, almost got the shot, but it was blocked by Wavy

02:23:15.740 --> 02:23:20.460
right after goal line, 13 seconds to go, Tommik tries here, Beast mode getting the

02:23:20.460 --> 02:23:22.200
He's about to give Daniel some space.

02:23:22.200 --> 02:23:23.660
Daniel plays it high.

02:23:23.660 --> 02:23:24.820
Send to Wavy.

02:23:24.820 --> 02:23:25.740
He'll collect.

02:23:25.740 --> 02:23:27.020
Wavy wants to ground us.

02:23:27.020 --> 02:23:30.540
There's no way he can get it out there unless he can try here.

02:23:30.540 --> 02:23:32.140
Pinch, it'll hit the ground.

02:23:32.140 --> 02:23:33.500
We got O.T.

02:23:33.500 --> 02:23:36.660
Oh man, that disruption from NRG is so hard to deal with.

02:23:36.660 --> 02:23:38.580
You've got to give Verna's brother flowers.

02:23:38.580 --> 02:23:40.300
I mean, they've played a heck of a series.

02:23:40.300 --> 02:23:42.260
I know they're down, but boy are they battling,

02:23:42.260 --> 02:23:44.180
and they're battling hard.

02:23:44.180 --> 02:23:45.700
Yeah, but this is not where you want to be.

02:23:45.700 --> 02:23:47.500
But double commit there from NRG?

02:23:47.500 --> 02:23:49.740
Maybe a bit of a lane on a comic great recovery

02:23:49.740 --> 02:23:54.580
keep it in talk though we'll take control as beast home with the 50 and beast mode

02:23:54.580 --> 02:23:58.200
all better here on this left side game moving up middle can be more given to a

02:23:58.200 --> 02:24:02.900
deal blocked out a comic walk through trying to get the book the two pieces

02:24:02.900 --> 02:24:07.140
there to help his teammate oh we'll be small just chop that one down as well

02:24:07.140 --> 02:24:11.260
all right we've got to be careful best 50 your big dog nice job it's

02:24:11.260 --> 02:24:15.300
plan well if you get the myth of some beast mode will have the zero here as

02:24:15.300 --> 02:24:18.420
Atomic tries, talk, sitting on the back wall,

02:24:18.420 --> 02:24:22.740
way to play it a little close and doesn't get to 50.

02:24:22.740 --> 02:24:24.700
Two-piece, no boost, try not to,

02:24:24.700 --> 02:24:25.980
I don't have the attention to let it out,

02:24:25.980 --> 02:24:27.220
but talk has to jump there.

02:24:27.220 --> 02:24:29.700
Atomic was not letting that go for free.

02:24:29.700 --> 02:24:30.980
They're starting to see the cracks,

02:24:30.980 --> 02:24:33.700
fool, hurt his fro, gotta get your feet set quick.

02:24:33.700 --> 02:24:35.700
Everyone was here, they're scrambling.

02:24:36.940 --> 02:24:38.340
No clearance, Atomic free,

02:24:38.340 --> 02:24:40.700
shy, blocked out by talk.

02:24:40.700 --> 02:24:42.980
Atomic, no, he misses this time.

02:24:42.980 --> 02:24:45.780
He wants to look upfield for a bump, can't find one.

02:24:45.780 --> 02:24:47.020
And two pieces of this clearance,

02:24:47.020 --> 02:24:48.380
Beast mode awkward here,

02:24:48.380 --> 02:24:50.420
wants to take it up for the wall, playing pitches out.

02:24:50.420 --> 02:24:51.760
Go let him burn it.

02:24:51.760 --> 02:24:53.900
Are they gonna be able to play offense at all?

02:24:53.900 --> 02:24:56.100
So in this overtime, it doesn't look like play,

02:24:56.100 --> 02:24:58.300
cause then our G, no it's not over.

02:24:58.300 --> 02:25:01.660
Lock out again, it's going the other way.

02:25:01.660 --> 02:25:03.300
Daniel says that's why.

02:25:03.300 --> 02:25:05.140
So I'll just reset, would you?

02:25:05.140 --> 02:25:07.820
Pulls the string off, talk, resets,

02:25:07.820 --> 02:25:10.420
takes a little bit, and here comes in our G again,

02:25:10.420 --> 02:25:11.260
oh boy.

02:25:11.260 --> 02:25:13.920
Oh, no, he's not hitting it!

02:25:13.920 --> 02:25:16.600
No, Toggle's off!

02:25:16.600 --> 02:25:20.600
And NRG win, it sticks!

02:25:20.600 --> 02:25:24.400
Ugh, he's not going to flip it!

02:25:24.400 --> 02:25:25.440
I mean, he can't blame him.

02:25:25.440 --> 02:25:27.000
He's got to go back down the center line.

02:25:27.000 --> 02:25:28.680
He walks on those small boost pads.

02:25:28.680 --> 02:25:30.120
It's not like he's in the mood to leave him

02:25:30.120 --> 02:25:31.560
for NRG.

02:25:31.560 --> 02:25:34.480
And they take the 50 that goes right into his car.

02:25:34.480 --> 02:25:38.520
Oh, that's horrible luck, Tuck.

02:25:38.520 --> 02:25:40.160
Wow.

02:25:40.160 --> 02:25:43.880
And now NRG with the win.

02:25:43.880 --> 02:25:46.440
We'll see you in Paris.

02:25:46.440 --> 02:25:48.320
But what a win.

02:25:48.320 --> 02:25:48.960
Wow.

02:25:48.960 --> 02:25:51.240
That had happened.

02:25:51.240 --> 02:25:53.360
And that's what?

02:25:53.360 --> 02:25:55.600
SSG to Worlds, right?

02:25:55.600 --> 02:25:57.600
If I have done the math correctly?

02:25:57.600 --> 02:26:00.760
Yeah, SSG to Worlds and NRG to major with that win.

02:26:00.760 --> 02:26:02.680
So well done, NRG.

02:26:02.680 --> 02:26:04.200
Boxed them out, where's pro?

02:26:04.200 --> 02:26:06.000
I mean, they gave it one heck of a show, though.

02:26:06.000 --> 02:26:09.200
That was a lot of fun, if nothing else.

02:26:09.200 --> 02:26:12.240
the water shell and it's just getting started.

02:26:12.240 --> 02:26:14.700
I mean, the competition's gonna ramp up

02:26:14.700 --> 02:26:17.900
as now the teams here in the running for pair,

02:26:17.900 --> 02:26:21.080
well, who are going to pair is fighting to see

02:26:21.080 --> 02:26:23.340
which one of them will be number one

02:26:23.340 --> 02:26:25.500
to represent the North American region.

02:26:25.500 --> 02:26:29.080
We have city finals coming up after the break.

02:26:29.080 --> 02:26:41.900
MUSIC

02:26:41.900 --> 02:26:44.100
Okay, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe.

02:26:44.100 --> 02:26:45.100
It should be all set.

02:26:45.100 --> 02:26:47.240
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto

02:26:47.240 --> 02:26:48.540
bundle from Progressive.

02:26:48.540 --> 02:26:49.540
Oh, I'm sorry.

02:26:49.540 --> 02:26:50.740
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption

02:26:50.740 --> 02:26:52.100
to post about these.

02:26:52.100 --> 02:26:53.840
Maybe something like, I have protection,

02:26:53.840 --> 02:26:54.840
just need a lifeguard.

02:26:54.840 --> 02:26:56.940
What about that emergency with a shocked face?

02:26:56.940 --> 02:26:58.980
Or maybe flooded with emotion.

02:26:58.980 --> 02:27:01.980
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.

02:27:01.980 --> 02:27:05.980
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.

02:27:05.980 --> 02:27:11.980
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless with that affirmation, am I right?

02:27:28.980 --> 02:27:38.980
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.

02:27:38.980 --> 02:27:40.980
Michelin, Motion for Life.

02:27:58.980 --> 02:28:01.980
You better be careful, they're not gonna jump, they're gonna miss!

02:28:02.980 --> 02:28:03.980
Kill them!

02:28:03.980 --> 02:28:04.980
They're gonna miss you!

02:28:07.980 --> 02:28:10.980
You better be careful, they're not gonna jump, they're gonna miss you!

02:28:13.980 --> 02:28:17.980
My friends, in particular, I will find your signal!

02:28:17.980 --> 02:28:18.980
Dispatch first!

02:28:18.980 --> 02:28:19.980
Oh, for fuck's sake!

02:28:58.980 --> 02:29:00.980
I

02:29:58.980 --> 02:30:02.980
I like to let you feel your love

02:30:02.980 --> 02:30:13.980
I like to let you feel your love

02:30:19.980 --> 02:30:22.980
One is where matters place

02:30:22.980 --> 02:30:25.980
I want to spend my time

02:30:25.980 --> 02:30:28.980
Searching for a new space

02:30:28.980 --> 02:30:30.980
So you still come back home

02:30:30.980 --> 02:30:33.980
Believe in me, hey, hey

02:30:33.980 --> 02:30:36.980
There's no always this way

02:30:36.980 --> 02:30:38.980
No, no, no, it's right

02:30:38.980 --> 02:30:41.980
No, no, no

02:30:41.980 --> 02:30:44.980
I see you hide

02:30:44.980 --> 02:30:47.980
The stars, the light

02:30:47.980 --> 02:30:50.980
And we have everything to heal

02:30:50.980 --> 02:30:52.980
There is

02:30:52.980 --> 02:30:58.980
I'm not feeling the fight as we all decide

02:30:58.980 --> 02:31:02.980
The point of distance might be too long

02:31:02.980 --> 02:31:06.980
Take it away now

02:31:08.980 --> 02:31:11.980
Take it away now

02:31:11.980 --> 02:31:13.980
Oh, you and me

02:31:13.980 --> 02:31:17.980
Take it away now

02:31:19.980 --> 02:31:21.980
Take it away now

02:31:22.980 --> 02:31:24.980
I'm gonna let it be a storm

02:31:33.980 --> 02:31:35.980
I'm gonna let it be a storm

02:31:44.980 --> 02:31:46.980
I'm gonna let it be a storm

02:32:52.980 --> 02:32:54.980
I

02:33:52.980 --> 02:33:59.420
The final ticket to Paris has been punched. NRG, the Rock-a-League champions of the world

02:33:59.420 --> 02:34:03.740
will play at the Paris Major representing North America.

02:34:03.740 --> 02:34:07.100
Virdis Pro will watch from the sidelines and look for the LCK.

02:34:07.100 --> 02:34:11.820
I'm joined by Sathieu, head coach of NRG. Sir, congratulations going to Paris.

02:34:11.820 --> 02:34:14.820
How does it feel? Have you been before?

02:34:14.820 --> 02:34:19.540
Yeah, I was able to actually go with, uh,

02:34:19.540 --> 02:34:22.900
She's was mentioning in his interview as one of the buddies with the last time

02:34:22.900 --> 02:34:24.860
after the world. So yeah, I've been a couple of times.

02:34:25.740 --> 02:34:29.340
Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, you guys can give me the tour. You can show me around here.

02:34:29.340 --> 02:34:32.780
I got to ask you about the mattress saw there. Cause back and forth here,

02:34:32.980 --> 02:34:37.060
like it felt like kind of a three different arcs here divided by timeouts.

02:34:37.060 --> 02:34:39.060
You guys win the first two games VP calls the timeout.

02:34:39.060 --> 02:34:42.100
They win the next two. You call the timeout. You guys went out from there.

02:34:42.340 --> 02:34:45.660
Like what is it? Like I'm not asking you to tell me what happens to the

02:34:45.660 --> 02:34:48.500
timeouts, but like it's so interesting that like the timeouts seem to

02:34:48.500 --> 02:34:50.220
like swing the series like that.

02:34:50.220 --> 02:34:51.900
Like what is happening in those moments

02:34:51.900 --> 02:34:56.060
when you're re-aligning the team's mentality?

02:34:56.060 --> 02:34:58.340
I mean, the thing is that that's exactly what this time out

02:34:58.340 --> 02:34:58.840
was.

02:34:58.840 --> 02:35:00.700
It was a mentality re-alignment.

02:35:00.700 --> 02:35:03.940
I think we, tactically, were in a good spot.

02:35:03.940 --> 02:35:06.300
I thought after 2-0, we were in a really good spot.

02:35:06.300 --> 02:35:08.780
Game three, I think we just kind of let slip out of our hands.

02:35:08.780 --> 02:35:10.820
I thought we were, I mean, I kind of had it controlled

02:35:10.820 --> 02:35:12.540
and then they kind of had a free goal.

02:35:12.540 --> 02:35:15.180
We got maybe a little too excited in multiple facets

02:35:15.180 --> 02:35:16.220
up on the field.

02:35:16.220 --> 02:35:19.780
So it was just making sure that mentally we were right

02:35:19.780 --> 02:35:23.100
in the right space because practically I like where we are.

02:35:23.100 --> 02:35:23.500
Gotcha.

02:35:23.500 --> 02:35:24.980
Well, you get the win there.

02:35:24.980 --> 02:35:26.100
You advance in the bracket.

02:35:26.100 --> 02:35:28.140
You've got a match coming up here with Shopify now.

02:35:28.140 --> 02:35:32.020
I wonder, like, you've got the tournament overall trying

02:35:32.020 --> 02:35:33.580
to get to Paris, trying to get to World's and stuff

02:35:33.580 --> 02:35:33.980
like that.

02:35:33.980 --> 02:35:36.860
You know, Paris is now, you can check that box off.

02:35:36.860 --> 02:35:37.860
But now you've got to date.

02:35:37.860 --> 02:35:38.860
It's Championship Sunday.

02:35:38.860 --> 02:35:39.860
You're professional Rock League players.

02:35:39.860 --> 02:35:41.300
You want to get that $21,000.

02:35:41.300 --> 02:35:45.340
Like, is it difficult or easier to keep the guys grounded

02:35:45.340 --> 02:35:49.300
on right now and today now that Paris is kind of off the table.

02:35:49.300 --> 02:35:52.340
I think it's easier because now, you know, the pressure is off

02:35:52.340 --> 02:35:55.260
because there was always that outside chance that we could miss Paris.

02:35:55.260 --> 02:35:58.340
Now it's like fighting for that one seed that we believe we deserve.

02:35:58.340 --> 02:36:00.980
I know we haven't necessarily shown it to split,

02:36:00.980 --> 02:36:05.540
but I think internally we know we are the best team when we're playing like it.

02:36:05.540 --> 02:36:07.580
And we're kind of playing up to our standard.

02:36:07.580 --> 02:36:09.020
So we're going to fight for that.

02:36:09.020 --> 02:36:09.860
We want the best seed.

02:36:09.860 --> 02:36:11.420
We want the best group.

02:36:11.420 --> 02:36:13.980
And we want kind of riding her.

02:36:13.980 --> 02:36:14.460
Gotcha.

02:36:14.460 --> 02:36:16.700
Well, hey, I'm excited to see you guys play here in a second.

02:36:16.700 --> 02:36:18.720
Who do you think you're going to play in the finals on the other side?

02:36:18.720 --> 02:36:21.420
Space station or foot?

02:36:21.420 --> 02:36:25.820
Just going off kind of how the teams play, I think, in the SSG, honestly.

02:36:25.820 --> 02:36:28.820
OK, SSG, a vote of confidence for the boys in yellow.

02:36:28.820 --> 02:36:31.020
Stad, you thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us.

02:36:31.020 --> 02:36:32.740
Good luck in the rest of the tournament.

02:36:32.740 --> 02:36:34.300
Thanks, Wade.

02:36:34.300 --> 02:36:37.140
OK, we will see them play in Shopify a little bit later on.

02:36:37.140 --> 02:36:39.340
Going to give them a break and hop to the other side of the bracket.

02:36:39.340 --> 02:36:41.340
But up back and forth here, gentlemen.

02:36:41.340 --> 02:36:47.300
I was surprised at like just how how contrasting the match felt going from time out to time out

02:36:47.700 --> 02:36:50.540
Me too. I mean, there's a lot to surprise me during that season

02:36:50.540 --> 02:36:56.900
I mean it did feel like you know vertus pearl had some moments of brilliance in games. I believe

02:36:57.820 --> 02:36:59.380
three and four

02:36:59.380 --> 02:37:01.220
But afterwards

02:37:01.220 --> 02:37:04.340
NRG, you know like like Saturn said about that time out

02:37:04.340 --> 02:37:10.180
You could tell they were able to recollect themselves and not let things get too far away from them

02:37:10.180 --> 02:37:13.220
especially with everything on the line now.

02:37:13.220 --> 02:37:16.140
For Vertus, it looks like, I mean,

02:37:16.140 --> 02:37:18.620
with such a great start and so many, you know,

02:37:18.620 --> 02:37:19.940
potential moments they could have had

02:37:19.940 --> 02:37:21.660
over the course of the season,

02:37:21.660 --> 02:37:23.500
I mean, they still look like a threatening team

02:37:23.500 --> 02:37:24.940
we just will not be able to see.

02:37:24.940 --> 02:37:27.180
We won't see them in Paris anymore this year.

02:37:27.180 --> 02:37:29.220
They've got some more things to work on,

02:37:29.220 --> 02:37:34.140
but I mean, NRG still for themselves in that competition

02:37:34.140 --> 02:37:36.780
and trying to fight to be the number one team

02:37:36.780 --> 02:37:37.900
in North America.

02:37:40.180 --> 02:37:45.680
Yeah, and James, I feel like NRG, this overtime in particular, they absolutely dominated.

02:37:45.680 --> 02:37:50.780
You get to overtime on Neo Tokyo, and anything can happen here, one wrong moment,

02:37:50.780 --> 02:37:53.280
we're on Champions field, and the intensity of that map is there.

02:37:53.280 --> 02:37:55.780
They controlled that overtime, it felt like from kick-off to goal.

02:37:56.180 --> 02:38:02.580
Yeah, and you heard it from Satyou in the interview, you can tell NRG plays like they believe they're the best team.

02:38:02.580 --> 02:38:08.480
You see it so many times where they go the extra step to try to be not necessarily flashy,

02:38:08.480 --> 02:38:13.020
But they have their own style of play that they like to break down the defenses methodically.

02:38:13.020 --> 02:38:20.940
They play with so much trust in one another, and you know, they just find ways to win these

02:38:20.940 --> 02:38:21.940
close matchups.

02:38:21.940 --> 02:38:26.000
And when it gets down to it, usually energy is going to deliver.

02:38:26.000 --> 02:38:28.640
Even though they, you know, you heard it from Seth, they haven't been having the

02:38:28.640 --> 02:38:29.640
best split.

02:38:29.640 --> 02:38:35.420
They're still so good and internationally have consistently been the best North American

02:38:35.420 --> 02:38:36.420
team.

02:38:36.420 --> 02:38:41.060
going to be a really tough battle for Virtus. Pro and approved to be well lots of

02:38:41.060 --> 02:38:44.340
seating on the line here still for the rest of our day as North America has

02:38:44.340 --> 02:38:49.340
locked up their four representatives at the Paris Major two teams tied at 34

02:38:49.340 --> 02:38:53.060
two teams tied at 28 and all four of them are still in the tournament today

02:38:53.060 --> 02:38:57.780
so our final standings far from being concluded as we get into our bracket

02:38:57.780 --> 02:39:02.580
here foot space station on one side Shopify and NRG on the other winners of

02:39:02.580 --> 02:39:07.140
those matches will play for the title of North American regional champion folks.

02:39:07.500 --> 02:39:12.460
Only three matches left on the day. No tiebreakers are going to happen.

02:39:12.460 --> 02:39:14.660
We will only have five matches here for championship Sunday.

02:39:14.660 --> 02:39:17.940
So we'll give energy that much needed rest after taking on Virtus.

02:39:17.940 --> 02:39:21.660
Pro. Let's get into the next match. Foot Esports second match of the day.

02:39:21.660 --> 02:39:25.140
They made it through that first one in quick fashion, zero timeouts in their

02:39:25.140 --> 02:39:28.500
sweep over dignitas, zero over times as well.

02:39:28.660 --> 02:39:32.340
And now they get to go against a very fresh space station gaming coming

02:39:32.340 --> 02:39:37.140
the pitch for the first time today. Two very hot teams right now here, Dazrin, looking to play

02:39:37.140 --> 02:39:44.100
for the title of regional champion. Right, SSG looked in a great form yesterday. Very dominant win

02:39:44.100 --> 02:39:49.940
for them. Well, a lot of physicality and series was kind of close, but just SSG did have that step

02:39:49.940 --> 02:39:56.260
up ahead for foot going into today. I mean, they had a business when it came to Dignitas and now,

02:39:56.260 --> 02:40:00.820
you know, of course, they have that excitement of making a major, but winning the final regional

02:40:00.820 --> 02:40:04.500
event of the season, I think would still be on their eyes as well. This is not

02:40:04.500 --> 02:40:08.100
something where I feel both teams are going to come in with slouches, maybe like

02:40:08.100 --> 02:40:11.700
a little bit of nervousness type of pressures off, but that's still just

02:40:11.700 --> 02:40:16.100
trying to get ahead of the competition and being the best is still like what's

02:40:16.100 --> 02:40:18.820
on a lot of their minds. So I'm expecting this one to be a very close

02:40:18.820 --> 02:40:23.380
series. I want to see if Floyd can keep up with, you know, their

02:40:23.380 --> 02:40:26.100
offensive prowess. It seems like they kind of struggle with their

02:40:26.100 --> 02:40:33.100
a little bit. And then for SSG to see them look in strong form that physicality is what

02:40:33.100 --> 02:40:34.100
I'm expecting.

02:40:34.100 --> 02:40:39.100
Well chat, let us know who you think is going to win. Hashtag SSG on one side. Hashtag FUT

02:40:39.100 --> 02:40:44.100
for footy sports. And I do agree with you. I think this is going to be a close one.

02:40:44.100 --> 02:40:48.100
I kind of got this tingling sensation in the back of my brain that we're in for a

02:40:48.100 --> 02:40:53.100
champions field barn burner of a match here. These two teams with things to play for

02:40:53.100 --> 02:40:56.580
But nothing to lose you lose here. You're still going to Paris

02:40:56.580 --> 02:41:03.960
You still have a good seating in that tournament as well and a fantastic result already in the bag here and open number six James

02:41:03.960 --> 02:41:09.920
I really am expecting to see us the players flying for the ceiling going for the crazy plays

02:41:09.920 --> 02:41:11.280
And it should be an entertaining word to the fans

02:41:11.280 --> 02:41:16.320
Oh, it should be and honestly looking at the bracket if NRG can take shop firebellion down

02:41:16.320 --> 02:41:21.920
That's a team that foot has shown success against so if what can get through this against space station gaming

02:41:21.920 --> 02:41:29.020
And it's NRG in the final. We might see foot as regional champion, which would be huge for their push for worlds

02:41:29.020 --> 02:41:35.180
World can't forget about that foot is really trying to score every point they can for worlds to avoid that lcQ

02:41:35.180 --> 02:41:37.180
But ssg

02:41:37.460 --> 02:41:40.100
They they look they look good wave

02:41:41.100 --> 02:41:45.420
I feel like we're gonna get a lot of interest in hearing game number one here Daz. Yeah, yeah, it says G. James

02:41:45.420 --> 02:41:49.760
I thought they're we would ask me already. I didn't know if we had to go ahead

02:41:49.760 --> 02:41:54.200
They're just they're just yes. I don't know how they're guessing. Yes. I am gonna say space station

02:41:54.200 --> 02:41:58.860
I think space station has been looking really good, but I actually am hoping for a foot victory here

02:41:59.560 --> 02:42:04.000
Okay, okay, uh, Dazarin who do you think's got SSG just give it to me

02:42:07.280 --> 02:42:14.560
Thankful if we all pick SSC, but he thinks SSG is gonna take it to so that's another endorsement for the boys and yellow

02:42:14.560 --> 02:42:18.240
I said at the beginning of the day. I think they are powering number one in North America

02:42:18.240 --> 02:42:21.520
They have absolutely everything they need to be the best team in the world.

02:42:21.520 --> 02:42:23.440
Can they bring it out right here right now?

02:42:23.440 --> 02:42:25.800
Oh, who will be the fan favorites?

02:42:25.800 --> 02:42:31.400
The rare time the desk favor is different than the fan favorite folks can foot through them right.

02:42:31.720 --> 02:42:34.680
They've got all the wonderful, wonderful personalities in the world.

02:42:35.000 --> 02:42:35.880
Justin on that team.

02:42:35.880 --> 02:42:37.600
She's it's just it's such a great team.

02:42:37.600 --> 02:42:38.920
You hope to see them win.

02:42:38.920 --> 02:42:41.120
I understand where James is coming from here, folks.

02:42:41.120 --> 02:42:44.240
And this one to play for the title of regional champion.

02:42:44.240 --> 02:42:46.400
You got to win it here, but versus SSG.

02:42:48.240 --> 02:42:54.940
Foot East sports need a big one to make their life easier in the future.

02:42:54.940 --> 02:43:00.660
No respect for the vets, debates, they say the young guns are going to take down.

02:43:00.660 --> 02:43:04.020
Oh, you're talking about those, you're talking about those bras on the desk.

02:43:04.020 --> 02:43:06.020
It's not, it's not my mic.

02:43:06.020 --> 02:43:08.020
It's not like that, I guess.

02:43:08.020 --> 02:43:09.020
Listen, we don't have to worry about them.

02:43:09.020 --> 02:43:13.780
Game one brought to you by Progressive and the Chiefs, man, it's good to have

02:43:13.780 --> 02:43:14.780
you in the booth.

02:43:14.780 --> 02:43:17.340
Put some dumps in the chapter, Chiefs, you heard them last match.

02:43:17.340 --> 02:43:19.220
Now he's back one once again.

02:43:19.220 --> 02:43:21.060
And secondly, we got a big match here too

02:43:21.060 --> 02:43:23.140
because you talked about a footy of sports.

02:43:23.140 --> 02:43:24.260
They're trying to climb that ladder.

02:43:24.260 --> 02:43:26.140
They got some makeup room to do

02:43:26.140 --> 02:43:28.220
and they want to catch VP.

02:43:28.220 --> 02:43:30.580
Long way to go and it all starts here

02:43:30.580 --> 02:43:34.780
and SSG definitely a team to make their lives difficult

02:43:34.780 --> 02:43:37.380
considering the form they've been in.

02:43:37.380 --> 02:43:40.300
Specifically, Zach been playing well just in though.

02:43:40.300 --> 02:43:43.820
A lot of confidence after making his roster swap.

02:43:43.820 --> 02:43:47.260
He's definitely revitalized this roster as revealed.

02:43:47.260 --> 02:43:50.960
We'll pick up his core boost and Diaz will instead be the first to attack, Cronik.

02:43:52.060 --> 02:43:53.060
Bump and run.

02:43:53.860 --> 02:44:00.160
Right now, not a whole lot to speak of, but maybe this 2v3 could bear some fruit for foot as Cronik

02:44:00.160 --> 02:44:04.060
will tap that one down and in front of Diaz just in time on his room teammate.

02:44:04.460 --> 02:44:07.360
He'll be interesting to see how these two teams match up.

02:44:07.360 --> 02:44:10.860
But he saw them go up against GNG yesterday, it was Klaas.

02:44:10.860 --> 02:44:13.960
Saw them go up, played Dignitas earlier, Klaas jet again.

02:44:13.960 --> 02:44:18.720
They beat a shot proper failure they beat an energy two times in a row. So they're in good form

02:44:19.000 --> 02:44:25.280
Well over there on the other side you got SSG the number one offense in North America at the moment

02:44:25.280 --> 02:44:28.440
It's going to walk me four point two five goals per game

02:44:29.400 --> 02:44:33.780
51 goals so far this event and it's only through 12 games. They are absolutely

02:44:37.240 --> 02:44:39.240
There you go

02:44:39.240 --> 02:44:44.300
Well, I love this from SSG look a reveal get this up to the backboard. Don't rush it

02:44:44.300 --> 02:44:48.760
Just chop it down and they get the defense diving Justin dives it what he thinks is

02:44:49.320 --> 02:44:53.840
Zach's free jump and it ends up coming from Diaz even behind him

02:44:54.480 --> 02:44:56.640
for a little well done SSG

02:44:57.960 --> 02:45:01.880
They're gonna keep doing that the whole entire series to my estimation it's so aggressive

02:45:02.520 --> 02:45:05.960
And really I think the kind of us up it is Zach. He sits in the back

02:45:05.960 --> 02:45:11.440
is their third man but he also leads him in the goals per game. He does that in a

02:45:11.440 --> 02:45:14.840
unique way honestly in my estimation different than a lot of third men in

02:45:14.840 --> 02:45:18.840
Rockley he will push up with zero boosts just do when the words of

02:45:18.840 --> 02:45:21.440
Janefoy just to show it's right just to make you think that he's there to make

02:45:21.440 --> 02:45:24.560
a play and it makes the other teams half-respecting because you never know

02:45:24.560 --> 02:45:27.600
and then all of a sudden he won't have a little bit of boost so come on the

02:45:27.600 --> 02:45:32.240
corner get your right in your mouth it's not what you can do. He's gonna have to make a stop here

02:45:32.240 --> 02:45:36.760
pretty quick as he will find a clear Justin rotating back in chronic as well

02:45:36.760 --> 02:45:40.640
with zero he's got Zach out to his left and throws a deep pass now it's just

02:45:40.640 --> 02:45:44.040
out of reach reveal goes top left corner and it would go a little bit high

02:45:44.040 --> 02:45:48.440
off the bar before it gets there Justin will have a little bit more work

02:45:48.440 --> 02:45:53.060
with as cheese finds a bump on the back line and unfortunately no foot at the

02:45:53.060 --> 02:45:55.180
reset and attack from the midfield.

02:45:56.440 --> 02:46:00.440
Teens right here with possession brings it back down both teams really trying to make plays happen.

02:46:00.440 --> 02:46:03.120
This is a beautiful play from Chet.

02:46:03.120 --> 02:46:04.320
Justin, what a job.

02:46:04.320 --> 02:46:06.320
Just goes and gets a little bit of disruption than that

02:46:06.320 --> 02:46:08.320
and then just parks the bus out on the left post.

02:46:08.320 --> 02:46:10.040
You never know, if all might come to you,

02:46:10.040 --> 02:46:11.600
Zach tried to get down to the ground

02:46:11.600 --> 02:46:13.360
to give himself a little bit of flexibility,

02:46:13.360 --> 02:46:16.000
but just in no time to get your feet set,

02:46:16.000 --> 02:46:17.480
smash that thing in.

02:46:18.360 --> 02:46:20.640
That's got a good old left side, strong side.

02:46:20.640 --> 02:46:22.320
It all starts with cheese.

02:46:22.320 --> 02:46:24.880
He just makes sure to bring the ball back down.

02:46:24.880 --> 02:46:26.520
Could have went up the wall.

02:46:26.520 --> 02:46:28.680
Opted to bring it back in field and Justin,

02:46:28.680 --> 02:46:30.000
that's the veteran.

02:46:30.000 --> 02:46:34.560
He's received many of those passes over the years and that's just easy to go for.

02:46:34.560 --> 02:46:40.800
He owes his stuff no doubt as Diaz elects to take the open road back into his corner and

02:46:40.800 --> 02:46:43.600
let Zach find a little vault.

02:46:43.600 --> 02:46:46.560
Actually sneaks through Justin, all those takes cheese's head off.

02:46:46.560 --> 02:46:49.200
Great job to get back to it and force a second challenge.

02:46:49.200 --> 02:46:51.360
She's working overtime on defense right now.

02:46:53.200 --> 02:46:57.040
As Justin forcing with zero actually ends up winning a big challenge.

02:46:57.040 --> 02:46:58.880
and Diaz, while he will catch it,

02:46:58.880 --> 02:47:02.200
does not have much teeth here and a free ball for play.

02:47:03.640 --> 02:47:05.800
Free ball indeed, both teams so far.

02:47:05.800 --> 02:47:07.920
Wish the scoreboard would show me the demos.

02:47:07.920 --> 02:47:10.360
I think it should be about even,

02:47:10.360 --> 02:47:12.800
oh, got at least about three or four so far.

02:47:12.800 --> 02:47:14.400
And it's already, she's got to do a sweep-through.

02:47:14.400 --> 02:47:16.320
Chronic trying to get one as well, so foot.

02:47:16.320 --> 02:47:18.120
Trying to put the pressure on this SSG team

02:47:18.120 --> 02:47:20.520
that usually, everyone's controlling the pace

02:47:20.520 --> 02:47:22.120
and everyone's hitting it in the mouth.

02:47:22.120 --> 02:47:24.640
And just a great save on the line right there.

02:47:24.640 --> 02:47:26.160
Just slams the door shut.

02:47:26.160 --> 02:47:29.160
Great vision. I mean, not getting scared is a double tap.

02:47:29.160 --> 02:47:31.160
Feel like you checked and made sure that he's like,

02:47:31.160 --> 02:47:33.160
look, can't squeeze that one down.

02:47:33.160 --> 02:47:36.160
Got his eyes forward. Misses the double on the follow-through.

02:47:36.160 --> 02:47:38.160
Cheese will also push it off.

02:47:38.160 --> 02:47:39.160
Oh!

02:47:39.160 --> 02:47:41.160
A break. You needed it.

02:47:41.160 --> 02:47:43.160
Oh! Cheese, you're not playing crossbar challenge, buddy.

02:47:43.160 --> 02:47:45.160
You got to play it in the back of the...

02:47:45.160 --> 02:47:47.160
And don't tell me it's a pitch on all the way!

02:47:47.160 --> 02:47:48.160
Don't tell me it's back!

02:47:48.160 --> 02:47:50.160
And nothing was almost pierced by him.

02:47:50.160 --> 02:47:52.160
The job's not done.

02:47:52.160 --> 02:47:53.160
SSG's still pressing.

02:47:53.160 --> 02:47:55.160
He has faked it out.

02:47:55.160 --> 02:47:58.040
Zack up early and says, gee, I think they got a reset here.

02:47:58.040 --> 02:48:01.440
Feels like they're maybe biting off more than they can chew.

02:48:01.440 --> 02:48:03.240
And rightly, they slow it down in the corner

02:48:03.240 --> 02:48:04.680
and by a little bit of time,

02:48:04.680 --> 02:48:06.360
but when he feels still squeezing with zero,

02:48:06.360 --> 02:48:07.200
look at his ass.

02:48:07.200 --> 02:48:09.040
The bulldozer, two of them,

02:48:09.040 --> 02:48:12.840
and SSG's gonna score with zero across the board.

02:48:12.840 --> 02:48:14.360
Exactly, that's what they do, Michael.

02:48:14.360 --> 02:48:15.840
That's what they do.

02:48:15.840 --> 02:48:18.840
Zack has pushed up so far, he has zero boost.

02:48:19.960 --> 02:48:22.080
Oh, maybe left in 12, it's on the tower to say,

02:48:22.080 --> 02:48:23.960
he's up so close.

02:48:23.960 --> 02:48:27.040
They have so much faith in one another and that's why they're scoring so much because

02:48:27.040 --> 02:48:28.040
they're all in.

02:48:28.040 --> 02:48:32.160
They believe in each other, make the next play and Zach is the third man that said,

02:48:32.160 --> 02:48:35.400
I will be there for you and you really just elevate the whole team.

02:48:35.400 --> 02:48:37.400
That's the S because another shot on that.

02:48:37.400 --> 02:48:39.120
I can't believe that.

02:48:39.120 --> 02:48:41.560
I have no idea if that's genius or greed.

02:48:41.560 --> 02:48:42.560
Either way it works.

02:48:42.560 --> 02:48:43.560
It's working.

02:48:43.560 --> 02:48:49.280
We're in the foot eastwards left scrambling, got to pick up the bag here with 15 on

02:48:49.280 --> 02:48:50.280
the clock.

02:48:50.280 --> 02:48:55.400
So I want to himself believe it for cheese. How far can this realistically go though?

02:48:55.840 --> 02:48:59.200
Pre-flip from chronic sets it back up adjusted and already committed

02:49:00.000 --> 02:49:05.120
Definitely feels like what's in the scrambler and Justin will just take a pot shot up in that and hope for the best cheese

02:49:05.120 --> 02:49:09.240
We'll keep it alive and reveal to the floor. It actually gets a second-hand space station

02:49:09.400 --> 02:49:13.760
We'll take game one of the one heck of a zero boost squeeze

02:49:14.240 --> 02:49:18.360
Two bumps, and there's your difference maker in game one, but across that

02:49:18.360 --> 02:49:23.360
Space station a couple more shots, but in general, about relatively even.

02:49:23.360 --> 02:49:28.360
You did, you're right about that, but it makes all the difference though at this level.

02:49:28.360 --> 02:49:32.360
I think the year 2024-25, it was about teams starting to free jump each other,

02:49:32.360 --> 02:49:38.360
trusting one another in that mechanical field or area of the game.

02:49:38.360 --> 02:49:40.360
It's NRG hits the Carmine Corp.

02:49:40.360 --> 02:49:43.360
In year 2026, it might just be trust in one another,

02:49:43.360 --> 02:49:47.360
and squeezing with zero boost, they all had less than 12.

02:49:47.360 --> 02:49:50.000
And they were all here from the box and they knew,

02:49:50.000 --> 02:49:51.720
they knew it was gonna work out for them.

02:49:51.720 --> 02:49:53.920
And that's just what they've been doing so far.

02:49:53.920 --> 02:49:55.960
Says Zach is coming back into the fold

02:49:55.960 --> 02:49:57.520
and it's just hard to beat.

02:49:57.520 --> 02:49:59.480
Not shy, that's for sure.

02:49:59.480 --> 02:50:01.920
They came out there to take your head off

02:50:01.920 --> 02:50:04.880
and boy did they, on so foot,

02:50:04.880 --> 02:50:07.880
they gotta really, I think earn the right,

02:50:07.880 --> 02:50:09.560
to say they've got the keys to the car

02:50:09.560 --> 02:50:10.640
in this series right now

02:50:10.640 --> 02:50:12.640
because Space Station just ripped them out of your hand

02:50:12.640 --> 02:50:14.440
and said, yeah, y'all thought,

02:50:14.440 --> 02:50:16.000
just because you guys have been around

02:50:16.000 --> 02:50:20.280
in this lead for forever doesn't mean we care, you know,

02:50:20.280 --> 02:50:22.000
and they just blew you off the pitch there

02:50:22.000 --> 02:50:23.200
in the last 30 seconds.

02:50:23.200 --> 02:50:25.120
So game two, big moment for foot.

02:50:25.120 --> 02:50:28.240
I want to see him come out here with equal fire.

02:50:28.240 --> 02:50:31.120
Yeah, huge for them, and I think they can do it too.

02:50:31.120 --> 02:50:35.520
You saw it, and the way they scored in the last game,

02:50:35.520 --> 02:50:38.440
it was great, cheese, he opted out,

02:50:38.440 --> 02:50:39.880
didn't go up the back wall,

02:50:39.880 --> 02:50:41.480
actually brought it back into the midfield,

02:50:41.480 --> 02:50:42.680
and that opened up for Justin,

02:50:42.680 --> 02:50:44.240
and that was a great opportunity.

02:50:44.240 --> 02:50:47.600
Can't say that foot didn't have opportunities and chances in that game

02:50:48.500 --> 02:50:51.720
More than that just one goal opportunity as the chronic is two demos right there

02:50:52.080 --> 02:50:56.400
So a little bit creativity a little bit of aggressiveness from foot might pay dividends

02:50:57.800 --> 02:50:59.800
Diaz just takes the ball

02:51:03.280 --> 02:51:05.360
That's too much bass that's free play right there

02:51:05.360 --> 02:51:10.980
I don't think Diaz just rips the ball from chain of the big six all the way back across no hand up

02:51:10.980 --> 02:51:14.980
And at that point, D.A.S.H. is a simply two talented.

02:51:14.980 --> 02:51:18.980
One for the better for S.S.G. rolling 22 seconds in.

02:51:18.980 --> 02:51:21.980
That feels so bad if you're chronic, right?

02:51:21.980 --> 02:51:23.980
You get the double demo and you think, great.

02:51:23.980 --> 02:51:24.980
Time to go on the attack.

02:51:24.980 --> 02:51:27.980
And the first challenge you take out of the midfield, you get it.

02:51:27.980 --> 02:51:31.980
Rip out of your hands, pop the right in the mouth back on the goal line,

02:51:31.980 --> 02:51:32.980
and you're losing.

02:51:32.980 --> 02:51:34.980
And this is G.

02:51:34.980 --> 02:51:37.980
Definitely out here with some heat early on,

02:51:37.980 --> 02:51:42.980
as Diaz will just float that one and force Justin all the way back and what a place to put that ball

02:51:42.980 --> 02:51:46.980
Justin wasn't even allowed to pick it up. It was bouncing so awkwardly out of the corner.

02:51:47.980 --> 02:51:50.980
It was difficult, but Flint does do just enough.

02:51:50.980 --> 02:51:53.980
Maybe, he should keep the ball out for just a little bit longer.

02:51:53.980 --> 02:51:56.980
As Reveal's going to ship me out of turn on this, she's just got to challenge him.

02:51:56.980 --> 02:52:00.980
Reveal up to the ceiling. Chronic there to meet him. Who's going to be the better right here?

02:52:00.980 --> 02:52:04.980
Decent figure of both teams. Cheese gets the demo. Just trying to slow the play down.

02:52:04.980 --> 02:52:08.980
As right now both teams are just kind of filling each other out.

02:52:08.980 --> 02:52:13.980
His foot, I mean they're trying to stab himself so far Michael, but I can't say he's done much.

02:52:13.980 --> 02:52:18.980
I agree. It doesn't feel like the start to game two has really been the

02:52:18.980 --> 02:52:22.980
we're here to type of reveal you were hoping for.

02:52:22.980 --> 02:52:24.980
Chronic giving it his best go there though.

02:52:24.980 --> 02:52:28.980
First shot on target for foot in game two is Justin pops one around.

02:52:28.980 --> 02:52:33.980
He's actually doing a great look. Reveal sitting there in the box and I don't even think he knew something was there until they jumped.

02:52:33.980 --> 02:52:35.420
until they jumped.

02:52:35.420 --> 02:52:37.860
Yeah, the one-fifth ball for SSG is under defense.

02:52:37.860 --> 02:52:40.260
And my smash is not necessarily the best.

02:52:40.260 --> 02:52:42.860
Cheese gets up really quick.

02:52:42.860 --> 02:52:44.300
And it's just an easy shot for him.

02:52:44.300 --> 02:52:45.900
We saw the last game, Cheese.

02:52:45.900 --> 02:52:48.460
He had to open, then he hit the crossbar.

02:52:48.460 --> 02:52:50.300
But that didn't make a big difference again,

02:52:50.300 --> 02:52:53.300
and when this time around, he makes sure he remedies that.

02:52:53.300 --> 02:52:55.100
He's right underneath the crossbar.

02:52:55.100 --> 02:52:57.060
Tied up with a piece.

02:52:57.060 --> 02:52:58.020
Nice, Chronic.

02:52:58.020 --> 02:53:00.100
He's finding a lot of bumps in the series.

02:53:00.100 --> 02:53:02.180
That is a tempted set for Justin,

02:53:02.180 --> 02:53:05.140
but that went a lot higher than I think he wanted it.

02:53:05.140 --> 02:53:08.980
And SSG actually gets the attempt off kickoff

02:53:08.980 --> 02:53:11.700
on target reveal, just fighting for possession here.

02:53:11.700 --> 02:53:13.500
That's a beautiful 50 with a wave dash landing.

02:53:13.500 --> 02:53:15.940
He will collect midfield boost and SSG

02:53:15.940 --> 02:53:18.380
will continue the attack as Justin will float this one out

02:53:18.380 --> 02:53:21.700
to open space, contested ball in favor of reveal.

02:53:23.540 --> 02:53:26.500
No dice, but SSG is still just pressing.

02:53:26.500 --> 02:53:28.420
And you know, I don't know if they're more dangerous

02:53:28.420 --> 02:53:30.740
with a hundred in the tank or with zero.

02:53:30.740 --> 02:53:32.980
Oh, I think I like the zero.

02:53:32.980 --> 02:53:37.660
The zero is deadly because you have to respect him.

02:53:37.660 --> 02:53:39.660
You think Shirley not.

02:53:39.660 --> 02:53:42.300
You think Shirley, they're not there with zero boost, right?

02:53:42.300 --> 02:53:43.980
That's what they're really expecting,

02:53:43.980 --> 02:53:45.500
and they're just there with zero boost.

02:53:45.500 --> 02:53:48.220
You're like, he's here, he's got more than boosts.

02:53:48.220 --> 02:53:52.140
They're simply throwing you off in the flow of the game.

02:53:52.140 --> 02:53:54.060
But what makes no sense offensively,

02:53:54.060 --> 02:53:56.740
it's so different than all the other great teams

02:53:56.740 --> 02:53:57.860
in the game at the moment.

02:53:57.860 --> 02:53:59.340
And maybe even in all of this history

02:53:59.340 --> 02:54:03.540
that so far working work for SSG and it gets them a good identity.

02:54:03.540 --> 02:54:05.640
I love maybe that's really what it is.

02:54:05.640 --> 02:54:10.140
It's it's all the hundred boost to spend getting the other team into a terrible

02:54:10.140 --> 02:54:14.540
position and then they you just win at zero because you're ready for it.

02:54:14.540 --> 02:54:15.740
And they're not ready for it.

02:54:17.540 --> 02:54:20.540
Oh Diaz with a good scoop reveal looking for bumps.

02:54:20.540 --> 02:54:22.040
That's the right time to cut for it.

02:54:22.040 --> 02:54:25.840
And unfortunately nothing found Diaz with a good break up cheese.

02:54:25.840 --> 02:54:27.140
Very patient in the midfield.

02:54:27.140 --> 02:54:31.780
actually gets it put right behind his ear and Zach will just take the ball off

02:54:31.780 --> 02:54:35.060
him to midfield line chronic a little bit of an awkward pickup especially having

02:54:35.060 --> 02:54:38.780
to dodge that bump but footwork and overtime on defense but they're doing

02:54:38.780 --> 02:54:43.620
well I mean SSG despite holding a lot of pressure has not generated a high

02:54:43.620 --> 02:54:49.900
quality scoring chance in some time that's not a place you want to be

02:54:49.900 --> 02:54:54.300
though because SSG like you talked about number one offense so far in North

02:54:54.300 --> 02:54:56.460
with America and they've been deadly doing it too.

02:54:56.460 --> 02:54:59.260
D.S. I'm looking at this one-two skip.

02:54:59.260 --> 02:55:01.300
Cheese has to scramble back.

02:55:01.300 --> 02:55:02.860
A lot of defense been played by foot

02:55:02.860 --> 02:55:05.260
and they can play it like you said.

02:55:05.260 --> 02:55:06.660
I think just to be comfortable,

02:55:06.660 --> 02:55:08.380
they're gonna want to try to go on the offensive end

02:55:08.380 --> 02:55:10.300
because every single opportunity

02:55:10.300 --> 02:55:12.540
that D.S. gets to go to cross-map

02:55:12.540 --> 02:55:14.380
is always a blitz.

02:55:14.380 --> 02:55:16.380
And that's exactly what happens.

02:55:16.380 --> 02:55:18.420
Justin, I don't hate the force there.

02:55:18.420 --> 02:55:20.500
The problem was really in the follow-up.

02:55:20.500 --> 02:55:22.980
Justin and Chronic both jumped at it

02:55:22.980 --> 02:55:26.180
And that just leaves the third man in a really awkward spot

02:55:26.180 --> 02:55:27.820
when neither of you do anything.

02:55:27.820 --> 02:55:29.980
And he gets an uncontested touch off the ceiling,

02:55:29.980 --> 02:55:32.260
and he still got boost in the tank.

02:55:32.260 --> 02:55:34.700
Diaz, two for four with 370 on the scoreboard.

02:55:34.700 --> 02:55:36.660
Making it look good in game two.

02:55:36.660 --> 02:55:37.160
Exactly.

02:55:37.160 --> 02:55:39.940
More opportunities to give great players.

02:55:39.940 --> 02:55:41.660
More opportunities, they have to be great.

02:55:41.660 --> 02:55:44.620
And you don't want to keep on giving them a foot.

02:55:44.620 --> 02:55:46.100
Out of doubt, I wonder if I'm going

02:55:46.100 --> 02:55:47.700
to have to make something happen quickly.

02:55:47.700 --> 02:55:55.200
Zack, just dumping it long and look at that quick follow up will prevent any opportunity

02:55:55.200 --> 02:55:59.520
for Flute to build the attack, they'll have to build it for nothing as cheese is looking

02:55:59.520 --> 02:56:02.200
for some speculative bumps and boost steels.

02:56:02.200 --> 02:56:07.040
Trying to soften up SSG a little bit for the final hurrah.

02:56:07.040 --> 02:56:09.400
Chronic taking the space SSG gives him.

02:56:09.400 --> 02:56:10.400
Too slow.

02:56:10.400 --> 02:56:14.600
But that's a worse, so that's terrible, you can't miss that one in here.

02:56:14.600 --> 02:56:20.320
All the fakes and Zach will just keep it jammed in the corner the one miss out of your own box and you'll waste 10 seconds

02:56:20.880 --> 02:56:27.040
Base here for Justin. Oh, it's a reset. Try to bring it back down demo right there. Oh, but the edges takes it away

02:56:27.480 --> 02:56:29.920
Any pressure that was trying to generate?

02:56:30.840 --> 02:56:36.160
Taking our chronic and leave it at all that one last chamber foot chronic goes from the left side of those right side

02:56:36.160 --> 02:56:39.880
She's about yourself. I've got up in the end. Oh goes on it up. Get the reset

02:56:39.880 --> 02:56:47.560
But the guys, every bit they equal, and SSG, they go up 2-0 when they're doing it in a

02:56:47.560 --> 02:56:53.640
nice, methodical way, it's their rock league, their forcing the issue, they're playing at

02:56:53.640 --> 02:56:54.640
their tempo.

02:56:54.640 --> 02:56:57.840
And our first guy to take a time out to kind of talk some things out.

02:56:57.840 --> 02:56:58.840
Definitely.

02:56:58.840 --> 02:57:04.080
I mean, when the top of the scoreboard is 532 points and you say, that's pretty good,

02:57:04.080 --> 02:57:07.120
and then you realize it's one goal and four saves, and Justin and Chronic with

02:57:07.120 --> 02:57:11.760
pretty much zeroes across the school board. It does not feel good. You're recognizing that

02:57:11.760 --> 02:57:15.760
it's tough to get anything started against this space station team. You've got to keep

02:57:15.760 --> 02:57:21.800
space station their flowers. If nothing else, they can squeeze the life out of you if you're

02:57:21.800 --> 02:57:27.600
not careful. And you see just a few mistakes from footy sports just completely stunted

02:57:27.600 --> 02:57:32.600
them on a couple of their attacking opportunities. They got one nice goal there, but unfortunately

02:57:32.600 --> 02:57:36.040
for them. That just doesn't feel like enough.

02:57:36.040 --> 02:57:38.400
It feels like space station is just kind of like you said,

02:57:38.400 --> 02:57:42.480
calm, cool, collected, confident. Just walking through,

02:57:42.480 --> 02:57:44.480
playing their game and it's looking good.

02:57:44.480 --> 02:57:47.680
It was looking really good. They're doing it in different

02:57:47.680 --> 02:57:51.040
ways too. I mean game one, they actually scored both

02:57:51.040 --> 02:57:54.720
their goals with that low boost squeeze that they,

02:57:54.720 --> 02:57:57.240
I'm just calling it a patented little boost squeeze now

02:57:57.240 --> 02:57:59.200
to somebody else that they want to play like that too.

02:57:59.200 --> 02:58:06.480
And then in this game, the Game 2 in particular, they had a lot of pressure, but they didn't

02:58:06.480 --> 02:58:08.520
score off of that pressure.

02:58:08.520 --> 02:58:15.640
They would score off the Diaz cross map play because Fuss just trying to establish himself.

02:58:15.640 --> 02:58:21.480
So it wasn't a squeeze in Game 2, it was a Diaz solo plays that didn't force Fuss

02:58:21.480 --> 02:58:22.480
to have to respect that.

02:58:22.480 --> 02:58:25.760
So Fuss got a lot to deal with, man.

02:58:25.760 --> 02:58:28.520
You got to worry about Diaz cross map, you got to worry about the Zack squeeze

02:58:28.520 --> 02:58:31.240
with zero boost you got to worry about the revealed bumps then you got to worry about

02:58:31.240 --> 02:58:34.720
the Diaz bumps then Zach over some kind of hits you as well and he's just like man oh

02:58:34.720 --> 02:58:38.120
man what I need to do oh and on top of that I'm just talking about defense now I got

02:58:38.120 --> 02:58:40.240
to actually go and score the ball too.

02:58:40.240 --> 02:58:43.360
We haven't even talked about how to break him down on offense yet we got to get the

02:58:43.360 --> 02:58:48.240
ball first that is proven difficult enough and I think a large part of that feels like

02:58:48.240 --> 02:58:52.720
SSG very comfortable they'll just send a guy off and be like don't go pick up a

02:58:52.720 --> 02:58:56.760
boost pad I don't care where like NRG you see them they'll play really tight

02:58:56.760 --> 02:59:01.160
with zero boost and they're always looking for the disruption. SSG takes a different approach

02:59:01.160 --> 02:59:05.920
and I'm just going to send somebody out into no man's land, yoink a boost, and we're going

02:59:05.920 --> 02:59:10.080
to solo play back the other way and when foot rotates back, it's not going to be there

02:59:10.080 --> 02:59:14.280
and they're going to be left scrambling is what it feels like.

02:59:14.280 --> 02:59:18.280
It's tough, it's tough out here, but this is the moments where you're playing. You

02:59:18.280 --> 02:59:21.960
booked your ticket to Paris. This is kind of a game it's showing as well, I mean

02:59:21.960 --> 02:59:27.120
NRG hasn't necessarily looked like they're in the best form, SSG and Shotfire Rebellion

02:59:27.120 --> 02:59:28.120
truly have.

02:59:28.120 --> 02:59:32.680
And you don't want to go out and get swept by this squad here, especially when your last

02:59:32.680 --> 02:59:36.640
match is for Four Pears, though it would be THE last match for Four Pears even if

02:59:36.640 --> 02:59:37.640
Blue's in this.

02:59:37.640 --> 02:59:42.080
Want to try to show the world that you can't compete at the highest level.

02:59:42.080 --> 02:59:45.480
Good fakes from SSG did not outpace their own team.

02:59:45.480 --> 02:59:49.360
Chronic Bill, first uncontested look to the midfield line, and I thought Reveal

02:59:49.360 --> 02:59:51.920
almost turned that into his own net, thank please.

02:59:51.920 --> 02:59:56.920
It is just wide, and says G, right back out.

02:59:57.640 --> 02:59:59.040
Lose a couple of boost pads,

02:59:59.040 --> 03:00:01.260
but still threatening on the bump side.

03:00:02.360 --> 03:00:04.540
Just press, and press, and press.

03:00:06.160 --> 03:00:08.080
Squeeze is starting to stop themselves.

03:00:08.080 --> 03:00:09.560
Listen, Zach just goes against the demo,

03:00:09.560 --> 03:00:10.880
he has no boost to get.

03:00:10.880 --> 03:00:12.160
Yep, no boost bang.

03:00:12.160 --> 03:00:13.520
I don't know how he got the demo, but he did.

03:00:13.520 --> 03:00:16.400
Now I have a feeling this is unbelievable.

03:00:16.400 --> 03:00:17.880
This is insane.

03:00:17.880 --> 03:00:19.160
That was with the heat chain,

03:00:19.160 --> 03:00:20.960
did he wait that twice?

03:00:20.960 --> 03:00:22.960
It's me!

03:00:22.960 --> 03:00:25.960
We'll never know, but he just came out of the midfield line,

03:00:25.960 --> 03:00:29.960
popped that two-dry in the mouth, gave his teammate a little bit of a passing lane,

03:00:29.960 --> 03:00:33.960
dug it out in the middle, smashed that thing top right,

03:00:33.960 --> 03:00:35.960
and just like that, space station's up 1-0,

03:00:35.960 --> 03:00:37.960
and even that will make the save. Justin's gotta be in.

03:00:37.960 --> 03:00:41.960
Chronic, can you adjust? No, he goes for the bump, and he dies for it!

03:00:41.960 --> 03:00:45.960
And Justin tries to at least blunt the counterattack.

03:00:45.960 --> 03:00:47.960
Chronic, what have you got?

03:00:47.960 --> 03:00:51.300
We shoved out of the way, Justin will pick up a hundred.

03:00:51.300 --> 03:00:52.640
Looking for that pass into the middle,

03:00:52.640 --> 03:00:53.640
Cheese, it's gotta be a-

03:00:53.640 --> 03:00:54.640
Oh!

03:00:54.640 --> 03:00:56.640
Oh, it was a error.

03:00:56.640 --> 03:00:59.140
I think we're feeling okay in fact to try to help out Zack.

03:00:59.140 --> 03:01:00.140
It doesn't matter anyways,

03:01:00.140 --> 03:01:02.140
because Krone makes a solo effort.

03:01:02.140 --> 03:01:04.640
And it's buttocks with scores.

03:01:04.640 --> 03:01:05.640
That's good for them though.

03:01:05.640 --> 03:01:06.640
You're right,

03:01:06.640 --> 03:01:07.640
Cheese had a shot here.

03:01:07.640 --> 03:01:08.640
It probably should have been on Nick,

03:01:08.640 --> 03:01:10.640
because, I mean, like I said,

03:01:10.640 --> 03:01:13.640
Refill just messed up a little bit.

03:01:13.640 --> 03:01:14.640
All I've learned is,

03:01:14.640 --> 03:01:16.640
Zack is a beast on the attack with zero boost,

03:01:16.640 --> 03:01:17.640
but clearly the defense,

03:01:17.640 --> 03:01:20.220
Maybe a little worth it.

03:01:20.220 --> 03:01:20.720
It's OK.

03:01:20.720 --> 03:01:22.120
That's a real tough one to block.

03:01:22.120 --> 03:01:24.160
You have to worry about maybe getting bumped,

03:01:24.160 --> 03:01:26.720
trying to poke it high and chronic great execution

03:01:26.720 --> 03:01:28.240
to get that one just over his head

03:01:28.240 --> 03:01:30.400
and hit the scoreboard back to even.

03:01:30.400 --> 03:01:34.360
But boy, what has to work real hard, it feels like.

03:01:37.040 --> 03:01:39.360
It's not going to be easy on the Gissons SSG squad.

03:01:39.360 --> 03:01:41.160
Do you guys get the demo right there?

03:01:41.160 --> 03:01:41.960
Refuel pops up.

03:01:41.960 --> 03:01:42.560
Here comes Zach.

03:01:42.560 --> 03:01:44.400
He's got to move this dog.

03:01:44.400 --> 03:01:46.000
Cheese does a great job.

03:01:46.000 --> 03:01:49.540
is clear of the danger, which forces DS to take his time.

03:01:49.540 --> 03:01:50.760
He throws it right up through a field.

03:01:50.760 --> 03:01:51.920
Great execution right there.

03:01:51.920 --> 03:01:54.560
He used lots of teammate.

03:01:54.560 --> 03:01:56.760
The foot right now, not much coming out of it.

03:01:56.760 --> 03:01:58.280
And now they got to worry about the DS solo.

03:01:58.280 --> 03:01:58.840
Here he goes.

03:01:58.840 --> 03:01:59.600
And brushes Justin.

03:01:59.600 --> 03:02:00.600
DS tries to get over him.

03:02:00.600 --> 03:02:01.560
Justin bumps him.

03:02:01.560 --> 03:02:02.680
Jeez, oh no!

03:02:02.680 --> 03:02:03.680
Oh!

03:02:03.680 --> 03:02:05.440
He gets credit for the save.

03:02:05.440 --> 03:02:07.960
Don't know how that happened, but he kept the ball out.

03:02:07.960 --> 03:02:10.680
And Zach got the boost steal in the blue corner as well.

03:02:10.680 --> 03:02:13.080
Justin doing a heck of a job to break them out.

03:02:13.080 --> 03:02:13.840
But it's a free ball.

03:02:13.840 --> 03:02:15.080
It's going to be back the other way,

03:02:15.080 --> 03:02:17.680
be quick believe that here comes that

03:02:17.680 --> 03:02:21.200
the preset and just drops at the end

03:02:21.200 --> 03:02:23.480
and fortunately nobody will find a bump

03:02:23.480 --> 03:02:25.320
or SSG and it's a three minute attack

03:02:25.320 --> 03:02:28.600
from the right wing for foot is just

03:02:28.600 --> 03:02:31.560
to spread back out and realize that

03:02:31.560 --> 03:02:33.480
maybe there's nothing here just yet.

03:02:34.480 --> 03:02:37.160
This SSG team has to be annoying to play.

03:02:37.160 --> 03:02:39.800
Zach turned to go for a lead block

03:02:39.800 --> 03:02:43.880
before before DS even got the ball on the backboard.

03:02:43.880 --> 03:02:47.560
He expected that he had cross-map air dribble, so he went for the chase.

03:02:47.560 --> 03:02:49.680
So he went once and so early.

03:02:49.680 --> 03:02:53.560
And his forces went, you've got to be active and you've got to have hot tires.

03:02:53.560 --> 03:02:57.080
They can't be cold, otherwise you get snuck.

03:02:57.080 --> 03:03:01.360
It's great speed from Justin out of midfield, looking him there again, trying to jam cheese.

03:03:01.360 --> 03:03:04.240
Got to be in and this time he'll make up for it.

03:03:04.240 --> 03:03:09.240
Justin with a couple of great challenges through the midfield line, keeps foot on the attack

03:03:09.240 --> 03:03:11.800
and gives cheese a look and boy did he deliver.

03:03:11.800 --> 03:03:15.400
This act of cheese beats, beats reveal right there on the 5050 in the corner.

03:03:15.400 --> 03:03:16.000
It was clean.

03:03:16.500 --> 03:03:18.100
Saddened up Justin and then Zach.

03:03:18.800 --> 03:03:19.900
You touched on it, Michael.

03:03:20.500 --> 03:03:22.500
He might be great with zero on offense.

03:03:22.900 --> 03:03:23.900
Oh, defense.

03:03:23.900 --> 03:03:25.700
That's two times now where he's caught with zero.

03:03:25.700 --> 03:03:27.000
He's got to need some assistance.

03:03:27.300 --> 03:03:28.000
He's hard.

03:03:28.300 --> 03:03:31.200
Defending with zero is a lot harder than it looks.

03:03:31.200 --> 03:03:33.500
Says, look at the bombs coming up on the foot.

03:03:33.500 --> 03:03:36.700
Net, chronic forced into an awkward flip, but he will retain the ball.

03:03:36.700 --> 03:03:38.400
He gives it up for the midfield boost.

03:03:38.400 --> 03:03:42.400
Will it come back to haunt him? Maybe Zac the Diaz cut out by cheese.

03:03:44.400 --> 03:03:46.400
Zac right there, she's trying to keep the pressure going.

03:03:46.400 --> 03:03:48.400
This game is really sped up in the pace.

03:03:48.400 --> 03:03:50.400
Both teams are firing on all cylinders.

03:03:50.400 --> 03:03:54.400
As honestly, footage really just increased their aggression.

03:03:54.400 --> 03:03:57.400
Also, just matching SSJ's physicality, getting the demos.

03:03:57.400 --> 03:03:59.400
Mucking things up.

03:03:59.400 --> 03:04:01.400
Stopping SSJ from establishing themselves.

03:04:01.400 --> 03:04:04.400
Less time on offense and less time on the squeeze.

03:04:04.400 --> 03:04:06.400
Whoa, what a 50. Whoa, what a 50.

03:04:06.400 --> 03:04:08.400
and it's the 2v1 back to the other

03:04:08.400 --> 03:04:09.400
Wow!

03:04:09.400 --> 03:04:10.400
Turn it in!

03:04:10.400 --> 03:04:11.400
No, guys, just like this, man.

03:04:11.400 --> 03:04:12.400
It's gonna turn it down.

03:04:12.400 --> 03:04:13.400
Break it down.

03:04:13.400 --> 03:04:14.400
You break it down.

03:04:14.400 --> 03:04:15.400
You got it.

03:04:15.400 --> 03:04:16.400
I mean, Zach, what if 50 is right?

03:04:16.400 --> 03:04:19.400
How do you see your teammate get beat on the side wall?

03:04:19.400 --> 03:04:22.400
Just take the straight dead chopstick 50,

03:04:22.400 --> 03:04:25.400
go right through a man, beat a second dude,

03:04:25.400 --> 03:04:28.400
turn it into a bump, and tie the game up.

03:04:28.400 --> 03:04:30.400
Good misgracious meeting.

03:04:30.400 --> 03:04:32.400
And then you die.

03:04:32.400 --> 03:04:33.400
Is that it?

03:04:33.400 --> 03:04:35.400
And then also, are you exactly the same mind?

03:04:35.400 --> 03:04:42.320
mine revealed to me immediately it turns out there's no hesitation he's just

03:04:42.320 --> 03:04:47.820
just told him he's gonna win the 50s like I'm winning maybe maybe calm was

03:04:47.820 --> 03:04:52.080
that clear because it's just it's just so hard to stop that it was so it

03:04:52.080 --> 03:04:55.740
happened so quickly Zach dominated that 50 they never feel just there

03:04:55.740 --> 03:05:01.920
hunting and it's just nothing fucking deal with it's tough it really is and

03:05:01.920 --> 03:05:05.880
saying that though this game is tied up 2-2 every close 30 seconds left in this

03:05:05.880 --> 03:05:10.200
one but down too well trying to make something happen right after the time

03:05:10.200 --> 03:05:13.340
out this is a big game for him his car is coming in right in front of Zac's face

03:05:13.340 --> 03:05:20.040
Zac does get a handle on it just comes in bang gets blocked down too dangerous

03:05:20.040 --> 03:05:24.720
challenge from Diaz almost just rail gunned it straight into his own net not

03:05:24.720 --> 03:05:27.840
sure anybody in the net could have done anything if it had been on target

03:05:27.840 --> 03:05:30.240
But at the end of the day, 2-2 overtime,

03:05:30.240 --> 03:05:33.840
Luming reveal last-ditch effort gets turned to dust.

03:05:33.840 --> 03:05:34.640
Zach, what do you got?

03:05:34.640 --> 03:05:36.040
That's a great try.

03:05:36.040 --> 03:05:38.000
It was in the direction of Diaz, actually,

03:05:38.000 --> 03:05:41.000
and this should be OT.

03:05:41.000 --> 03:05:44.880
First overtime, I believe, of this series so far.

03:05:44.880 --> 03:05:46.360
Both teams have been pretty equal.

03:05:46.360 --> 03:05:47.880
It's just been little moments.

03:05:47.880 --> 03:05:51.320
SSG squeezed, the Diaz solo plays.

03:05:51.320 --> 03:05:54.520
That made all the difference so far in game number three.

03:05:54.520 --> 03:05:55.920
So it has increased their aggression.

03:05:55.920 --> 03:05:58.540
They're gonna have to keep that type of play up though.

03:05:58.540 --> 03:06:00.920
They wanna end up being the better on DFH

03:06:00.920 --> 03:06:04.120
and starting their role to come back in this set.

03:06:04.120 --> 03:06:05.200
You need it here too.

03:06:05.200 --> 03:06:07.480
I mean, you can't really afford to go down 3-0

03:06:07.480 --> 03:06:11.200
when it feels like every attack is coming to premium

03:06:11.200 --> 03:06:13.120
and you're paying dearly for any miscue

03:06:13.120 --> 03:06:15.800
as Zack's nice adjustment of the challenge timing reveal

03:06:15.800 --> 03:06:17.680
will come in, lend a hand, gives up the ball

03:06:17.680 --> 03:06:19.120
and he will try and break up chronic

03:06:19.120 --> 03:06:20.160
but no dice chronic.

03:06:20.160 --> 03:06:21.240
What if you got the tank,

03:06:21.240 --> 03:06:23.200
Diaz will just skim the top of the ball,

03:06:23.200 --> 03:06:25.120
just him right there, but gets turned to dust.

03:06:25.120 --> 03:06:28.240
Cheese wasn't ready for it, can't react in time,

03:06:28.240 --> 03:06:31.800
and Foot's attack again just turns to dust.

03:06:31.800 --> 03:06:33.540
Yeah, so much value right there.

03:06:34.840 --> 03:06:37.040
Avoid the demo, kept going,

03:06:37.040 --> 03:06:39.040
and also to stay up high just a great flick.

03:06:39.040 --> 03:06:41.880
Cheese, I'm gonna get there, stop the goal line!

03:06:41.880 --> 03:06:43.600
That ball had to be close!

03:06:43.600 --> 03:06:44.960
Now, SSG back on the counter,

03:06:44.960 --> 03:06:48.200
remember this is chronic, chronic plays it so well!

03:06:48.200 --> 03:06:50.360
Keeping the ball out, Zack comes back in,

03:06:50.360 --> 03:06:51.600
nothing there gets a bump to it,

03:06:51.600 --> 03:06:54.640
the SSG squeeze are trying to get it on,

03:06:54.640 --> 03:06:58.080
Reveal! Another fifty-fifty sack comes in, zero boost again!

03:06:58.080 --> 03:07:00.920
The cheese is there to beat the batter, and that ASG attack

03:07:00.920 --> 03:07:04.120
is getting stifled for just a little while longer.

03:07:04.120 --> 03:07:09.680
Justin's so close to nailing that ceiling pinch, just a hair late.

03:07:09.680 --> 03:07:13.280
He's up, tossing the ball harmlessly into the corner, and his sack

03:07:13.280 --> 03:07:18.280
totally uncontested, and here comes cheese, just trying to cut out a lane.

03:07:18.280 --> 03:07:21.600
Reveal to himself off the sideline, all an excellent touch.

03:07:21.600 --> 03:07:27.940
Justin, chopped down by Diaz, cheese. Real speculative, he's trying to figure out where he needs to be as third man and

03:07:28.440 --> 03:07:34.260
Elect, let's just head back and reset. Doesn't feel like there's much here revealed towards the net, Justin with a huge save.

03:07:34.260 --> 03:07:40.340
Chronic actually comes up empty of cheese fighting through contact, makes a great stop on the line.

03:07:41.600 --> 03:07:43.840
That's a composure when you needed the most from cheese.

03:07:44.440 --> 03:07:46.960
Because that's gonna went bad real quickly.

03:07:47.720 --> 03:07:51.140
He had to make the plan. Did Diaz get the demo with cheese once again?

03:07:51.140 --> 03:07:55.780
The savior of butt two times in a row, but it's not done just shake of a field still on the front

03:07:55.940 --> 03:08:01.580
Proud he's doing the hunt the ad pops it up. He's listening on the right. He doesn't get to be on me like all of them

03:08:01.580 --> 03:08:03.580
Oh

03:08:06.460 --> 03:08:12.500
My goodness the timing that's the most dangerous part about it. I think SSG's timing just immaculate

03:08:12.500 --> 03:08:16.500
I mean foot's working hard and they do a great job on the defensive side of things

03:08:16.500 --> 03:08:21.660
But it's tough as here's a nasty read for Justin chronic to a great capital and helping him

03:08:21.660 --> 03:08:27.900
But he has a lot to pick from and space nation gave me will go up 3-0. It's just too much. It's just too much

03:08:27.900 --> 03:08:29.900
They don't stop coming

03:08:29.900 --> 03:08:31.900
What do you do?

03:08:31.900 --> 03:08:37.260
He has some always are just constantly shooting at the net is relentless pressure

03:08:37.740 --> 03:08:39.460
From SSG

03:08:39.460 --> 03:08:43.860
They're put on a rock league and play is a display. They are not giving up

03:08:43.860 --> 03:08:47.720
They are sick though and but even these boys I mean he's at eight saves

03:08:48.520 --> 03:08:54.620
Yes, he's safe and it's definitely not enough. He had what five last game. Yeah, something like that four or five

03:08:55.620 --> 03:08:59.300
It's a lot of defense being played. He's making incredible stops, but

03:08:59.740 --> 03:09:02.940
If you just go back to the simple it's just simple logic

03:09:02.940 --> 03:09:06.900
You can't keep giving great players that many opportunities and when I say can't give it

03:09:06.900 --> 03:09:12.820
They're not really given that many opportunities. That says you just earning opportunities and they just keep coming down with the battering ramp

03:09:12.820 --> 03:09:17.940
They really are. They're just taking it right out of your hand and they just go as quickly

03:09:17.940 --> 03:09:24.140
as they can. And I gotta say, I would love to hear a Space Station comms video because

03:09:24.140 --> 03:09:29.380
oh my goodness, you're bang on the money with that. They are right in sync with each other

03:09:29.380 --> 03:09:33.780
no matter what the situation is. They have to say they're not scared of anything right

03:09:33.780 --> 03:09:40.380
now. They happen so quickly. It's just a moment anything positive or potentially

03:09:40.380 --> 03:09:46.060
positive can occur that the person who's off ball transitions into such a

03:09:46.060 --> 03:09:50.700
doubt that such a biased position the aggressive aggressive you are aggressive

03:09:50.700 --> 03:09:53.940
valuable where they just immediately start hunting or they'll be on the right

03:09:53.940 --> 03:09:58.360
hand side they're going to gain something when they went when they went

03:09:58.360 --> 03:10:03.540
in any aspect the beat of 50 it's just like in most teams they don't do that

03:10:03.540 --> 03:10:09.340
it's like not human nature and in the scariest part like you said it's how

03:10:09.340 --> 03:10:13.060
quick it happens because it feels like you haven't even seen the result of the

03:10:13.060 --> 03:10:17.620
speculative 50 of whatever's about to happen behind us, but more often than not it

03:10:17.620 --> 03:10:21.060
seems to work out just fine.

03:10:21.620 --> 03:10:25.660
It's incredible. It's incredible watching this team play rock league at the

03:10:25.660 --> 03:10:30.460
moment. You have to appreciate it. You also have to appreciate what's put put

03:10:30.460 --> 03:10:34.340
it's done so far in this set too. They've had opportunities, they've had

03:10:34.340 --> 03:10:38.340
chances, but SSG's pressure has been a little bit too much format times, but

03:10:38.340 --> 03:10:39.940
They're not out of it just yet.

03:10:39.940 --> 03:10:41.860
It's a long road to win this series ball.

03:10:41.860 --> 03:10:43.700
It takes us one game.

03:10:43.700 --> 03:10:45.940
But so far, I think it would be very beneficial

03:10:45.940 --> 03:10:47.100
if they score first in this match.

03:10:47.100 --> 03:10:49.940
Okay, then it's just to make SSG have to,

03:10:49.940 --> 03:10:51.540
it might make the defense a little bit easier.

03:10:51.540 --> 03:10:53.300
Maybe SSG would even overextend

03:10:53.300 --> 03:10:56.060
and put foot in some better positions.

03:10:57.540 --> 03:11:00.340
Justin just getting clipped out of his flip reset attempt.

03:11:00.340 --> 03:11:01.860
But right now, this is not a good spot.

03:11:01.860 --> 03:11:03.260
A lot of space station defenders

03:11:03.260 --> 03:11:04.380
with zero in the tank.

03:11:04.380 --> 03:11:07.740
And this should just be 50-50 simulator, four foot.

03:11:07.740 --> 03:11:14.900
That's exactly what they're trying, but it's taken a little bit too much time slowly, but surely the advantage goes away and nasty pinch out of the corner and

03:11:15.780 --> 03:11:20.140
Yeah, there's boost deals, but no one's really in position to actually attack the foot

03:11:20.140 --> 03:11:23.100
But I guess possession is possession at the end of the day

03:11:24.100 --> 03:11:30.060
But it feels like space station gets their feet under them one big long clear reveals just gonna camp Justin

03:11:30.060 --> 03:11:33.420
But Steve and Karromie hits it and they actually just take the ball

03:11:33.420 --> 03:11:39.700
It's so unfortunate for foot 2 because they they had pressure there was a moment there

03:11:40.260 --> 03:11:42.440
Where she's could have hit them could have got a demo

03:11:43.100 --> 03:11:47.260
And he just barely missed that one sack exactly the great job dodging and avoiding it

03:11:47.460 --> 03:11:51.140
It's giving his team time and that's kind of been the name of the series so far

03:11:51.140 --> 03:11:54.740
Foot's opened up games one in games number four with more pressure than SSG

03:11:54.940 --> 03:11:57.340
But they haven't been able to come out victorious

03:11:57.340 --> 03:12:00.920
They haven't been able to just establish themselves in the game and oh the longer it goes

03:12:00.920 --> 03:12:06.120
That's that she they start generated they start attacking and then it starts in up. He gets real dangerous

03:12:07.680 --> 03:12:11.880
Justin almost able to force that last 50 in the bottom corner

03:12:13.760 --> 03:12:19.320
Quite though, but it has been a decent approach I think from foot here in game four and it got a habit

03:12:19.320 --> 03:12:21.680
They're only let SSG play the attack yet

03:12:24.040 --> 03:12:25.880
But that they got to be able to score though

03:12:25.880 --> 03:12:29.920
there's a good opportunity at the moment chronic is a 50 on DS cheese gets a cut

03:12:29.920 --> 03:12:33.720
Zach of course gets a demo for why not Justin just floating in the sky try to get

03:12:33.720 --> 03:12:38.080
a reset but it's just a little too low with a lot of loud reveal with no boost

03:12:38.080 --> 03:12:42.000
it's still gonna hand up and make a plate if all has to be higher to take

03:12:42.000 --> 03:12:45.360
advantage reveal having no boost doesn't happen the chronic has a force

03:12:45.360 --> 03:12:48.680
there oh no

03:12:48.680 --> 03:12:50.380
So quickly again!

03:12:50.380 --> 03:12:52.340
They're a mobile and sink!

03:12:52.340 --> 03:12:54.060
They're a dead and sink!

03:12:54.060 --> 03:12:55.700
He's just dead in the water.

03:12:55.700 --> 03:12:57.140
I mean, you see that smoke screen?

03:12:57.140 --> 03:12:58.780
I guess he could see the ball.

03:12:58.780 --> 03:13:03.420
But I mean, that's a tough one to ask of a guy who's already

03:13:03.420 --> 03:13:07.300
made 12-6 in the series, at least, so far.

03:13:07.300 --> 03:13:08.980
That's a tough one to keep out of the net.

03:13:08.980 --> 03:13:13.420
What a turnaround for Mr. and his G.

03:13:13.420 --> 03:13:15.420
And that just feels like he had another storyline

03:13:15.420 --> 03:13:16.860
of the series so far, Michael, too,

03:13:16.860 --> 03:13:20.780
because foot pressure, I think it's fair to say they've had it all.

03:13:20.780 --> 03:13:22.020
It was a great two minutes.

03:13:22.020 --> 03:13:24.340
They had it all game, but that's a kick.

03:13:24.340 --> 03:13:27.180
It's their one opportunity, and it just is in the net.

03:13:27.180 --> 03:13:30.780
And it's, oh, foot tries to respond right there,

03:13:30.780 --> 03:13:33.380
but something crossed for a foot has to work so hard.

03:13:33.380 --> 03:13:34.580
Trying to get the job done.

03:13:34.580 --> 03:13:37.100
DS, his four-style has to make a play.

03:13:37.100 --> 03:13:39.660
Zack does help him out.

03:13:39.660 --> 03:13:41.820
And now it's a counter-attack by SSG.

03:13:41.820 --> 03:13:44.820
Oh, and Justin dodged with a bump and just keeping that away.

03:13:44.820 --> 03:13:46.740
And again, that transition so quick,

03:13:46.740 --> 03:13:51.940
I mean they realized the cheese gave the ball up the corner and they were hunting Justin off the ball

03:13:56.100 --> 03:13:58.100
Dustin here

03:13:58.220 --> 03:14:02.740
Let's that come into the corner does grab the hundred boost cheese does kind of clear the wave right here one of you

03:14:02.740 --> 03:14:04.580
want to get DS?

03:14:04.580 --> 03:14:09.140
Cheese gets a pop up high, but it's not gonna be threatening enough somebody need to be on the right-hand side

03:14:09.140 --> 03:14:11.140
It probably need to be chronic

03:14:11.860 --> 03:14:14.620
Just to give cheese an outlet somebody to throw the ball to

03:14:14.620 --> 03:14:18.940
Unfortunately, once again it's just another opportunity that goes a lot for

03:14:18.940 --> 03:14:24.380
for foot and a run out of time. 60 seconds and Diaz looking to make it

03:14:24.380 --> 03:14:28.340
harder off the backboard reveal. It's a big one. He will not go for the bump because

03:14:28.340 --> 03:14:31.660
he knows the score line is more important and just tying foot-shoes

03:14:31.660 --> 03:14:36.980
together is a lot more valuable than trying to score. His cheese will take it

03:14:36.980 --> 03:14:41.340
to himself. Chronic, nice little bump on the side wall, passed a just in and

03:14:41.340 --> 03:14:44.260
and they finally get a little bit of room to work with.

03:14:44.260 --> 03:14:45.980
And they turn in a great goal.

03:14:45.980 --> 03:14:47.260
All three get involved right here.

03:14:47.260 --> 03:14:48.420
Chronic bumps out of Zach.

03:14:48.420 --> 03:14:50.460
Isolated DS Justin.

03:14:50.460 --> 03:14:51.860
He might have pre-jumped and he might have been

03:14:51.860 --> 03:14:54.580
afforded to reveal how the way he's up in the sky.

03:14:54.580 --> 03:14:56.620
Board that pass from Chiefs.

03:14:56.620 --> 03:14:57.940
And they do end up tying it up.

03:14:57.940 --> 03:15:00.300
And once again, it just took a lot out of him.

03:15:00.300 --> 03:15:03.940
But all three, all was the place.

03:15:03.940 --> 03:15:06.500
SSG goes for a crazy kick on strength.

03:15:06.500 --> 03:15:07.700
Revealed just by way.

03:15:07.700 --> 03:15:08.700
Look at the bubble of Chiefs.

03:15:08.700 --> 03:15:09.700
Don't tell me he's gone.

03:15:09.700 --> 03:15:13.160
Well, they barked out my cheese, it gets another save to his name.

03:15:14.860 --> 03:15:16.700
It's, it's, but they stink a lot.

03:15:17.200 --> 03:15:19.700
It sure gave him a good look of nothing else.

03:15:19.700 --> 03:15:25.500
Justin with a decent challenge, Diaz, not uncontested out of his own half.

03:15:25.500 --> 03:15:28.620
Reveal also having to do a little bit of work, gets to stick right on the ball

03:15:28.620 --> 03:15:32.420
and just a dead 50 with Justin who ends up the better there.

03:15:32.420 --> 03:15:36.900
But it costs a lot of boost as cheese will have to try his best to retain

03:15:36.900 --> 03:15:38.620
possession. That's not going to happen, Zach.

03:15:38.620 --> 03:15:48.620
Looking for Diaz Diaz will solo-play actually and look for reveal at the end as here he goes to buy a lot of time and maybe play OT, maybe give it one last to go.

03:15:49.620 --> 03:15:51.620
It's one last go baby, here they come.

03:15:52.620 --> 03:15:54.620
Oh man it's a devil 2, a devil 2!

03:15:55.620 --> 03:15:57.620
I'm sorry but I'm an evil!

03:15:58.620 --> 03:16:00.620
You said you were coming from a little away!

03:16:02.620 --> 03:16:07.620
You said that ball goes straight up and you know, you already know, here they come, they've done it all serious long.

03:16:08.620 --> 03:16:10.180
They've no bones about it.

03:16:10.180 --> 03:16:12.220
It's just for the life of it.

03:16:12.220 --> 03:16:13.540
We are laughing.

03:16:13.540 --> 03:16:15.820
They're laughing because they know it's coming too.

03:16:15.820 --> 03:16:17.620
They just know it's all the way cheese.

03:16:17.620 --> 03:16:19.500
I think cheese is gotta let that hit the ground.

03:16:19.500 --> 03:16:20.820
You gotta play time.

03:16:20.820 --> 03:16:22.500
Because they want an SMG.

03:16:23.500 --> 03:16:25.140
They're simply just playing a numbers game

03:16:25.140 --> 03:16:26.340
every single time they have a,

03:16:26.340 --> 03:16:28.780
every single time they want to counterattack, aren't they?

03:16:28.780 --> 03:16:31.500
The moment cheese throws it up off the ceiling,

03:16:31.500 --> 03:16:32.620
he's out to play.

03:16:32.620 --> 03:16:33.820
It reveals that it's okay.

03:16:33.820 --> 03:16:37.580
There's only this, at maximum, there's only two back.

03:16:37.580 --> 03:16:40.240
Which means if I go, I'm gonna take out one of them,

03:16:40.240 --> 03:16:41.880
and he actually took out two of them,

03:16:41.880 --> 03:16:43.960
and then he actually says, listen, you clear out the way.

03:16:43.960 --> 03:16:46.520
I'm just gonna walk it on in.

03:16:46.520 --> 03:16:47.360
And that's the key.

03:16:47.360 --> 03:16:48.760
It's a 2v0, that's for sure.

03:16:48.760 --> 03:16:49.800
No, for sure it is.

03:16:49.800 --> 03:16:52.280
He says, hey, I'm too good to do that.

03:16:52.280 --> 03:16:53.800
Anyway, yeah, that was it.

03:16:53.800 --> 03:16:54.920
Oh, come on.

03:16:54.920 --> 03:16:56.440
This gotta be, had to have been

03:16:56.440 --> 03:16:58.000
such a frustrating series.

03:16:58.000 --> 03:17:01.360
I mean, that's the most understandable, like,

03:17:01.360 --> 03:17:04.080
video clip I could imagine from a football player.

03:17:04.080 --> 03:17:05.320
Chronic just could not believe

03:17:05.320 --> 03:17:08.320
they could get nothing going for four games.

03:17:08.320 --> 03:17:13.320
MUSIC

03:17:13.320 --> 03:17:14.820
Mike, it should be all set.

03:17:14.820 --> 03:17:17.320
Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home-in-automobile

03:17:17.320 --> 03:17:18.320
from Progressive.

03:17:18.320 --> 03:17:19.320
Oh, I'm sorry.

03:17:19.320 --> 03:17:21.320
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about this.

03:17:21.320 --> 03:17:24.320
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.

03:17:24.320 --> 03:17:26.320
What about that emoji with a shocked face?

03:17:26.320 --> 03:17:28.320
Or maybe flooded with emotion.

03:17:28.320 --> 03:17:29.320
That's too much.

03:17:29.320 --> 03:17:31.320
Try, uh, Tuesdays are cray.

03:17:31.320 --> 03:17:33.320
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything

03:17:33.320 --> 03:17:34.320
that happens online.

03:17:34.320 --> 03:17:35.320
It's all mine.

03:17:35.320 --> 03:17:38.320
I don't even believe you.

03:17:38.320 --> 03:17:40.320
Life is meaningless in that affirmation.

03:17:40.320 --> 03:17:41.320
Am I right?

03:17:41.320 --> 03:17:43.320
Don't hold back.

03:17:43.320 --> 03:17:45.320
Cause you woke up in the morning with the music.

03:17:45.320 --> 03:17:47.320
You came to move somewhere making heart.

03:17:47.320 --> 03:17:49.320
Don't hold back.

03:17:49.320 --> 03:17:51.320
Down the nest.

03:17:51.320 --> 03:17:54.320
Every day, initially, you're going to be in the middle of the night.

03:17:54.320 --> 03:17:56.320
You're going to be in the middle of the night.

03:17:56.320 --> 03:17:58.320
You're going to be in the middle of the night.

03:17:58.320 --> 03:18:00.320
You're going to be in the middle of the night.

03:18:00.320 --> 03:18:02.320
You're going to be in the middle of the night.

03:18:02.320 --> 03:18:08.320
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.

03:18:09.320 --> 03:18:11.320
Michelin, Motion for Life.

03:19:32.320 --> 03:19:34.320
I

03:20:02.320 --> 03:20:06.320
You know I was born in L.G.T.

03:20:06.320 --> 03:20:11.320
I'm serious, I'm wrong, and you made me see

03:20:11.320 --> 03:20:17.320
I need love, I need love, I need love

03:20:27.320 --> 03:20:31.320
I think I need to convince, saw you in the breakfast

03:20:31.320 --> 03:20:36.320
I can't seem to understand how you got all that funness

03:20:36.320 --> 03:20:41.320
Stupid money and circles inside my head

03:20:41.320 --> 03:20:46.320
Was it looking for love, baby? I fell in love with you

03:20:46.320 --> 03:20:49.320
I need your love, baby, baby, baby

03:20:49.320 --> 03:20:53.320
I need your love, baby, baby, baby

03:20:53.320 --> 03:20:58.320
I need your love, I was born a character

03:21:28.320 --> 03:21:32.480
I'm just telling you, there is a truth, there is a truth

03:21:35.080 --> 03:21:42.440
I didn't know how much all the characters seem to stop my heart

03:21:42.440 --> 03:21:46.240
In the rain, you see I'm in love

03:21:46.240 --> 03:21:55.440
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love

03:23:26.440 --> 03:23:30.440
Take me, I need a storm, so do take me

03:23:33.440 --> 03:23:37.440
I need a new storm to confine the wind

03:24:25.440 --> 03:24:38.440
finals yet again, folks, will they get yet another regional championship under their bell four games up four games down walked through foot eSports and they're going to play for the title of North America Regional Champion.

03:24:38.440 --> 03:24:51.440
I'm here joined by their coach, expeer sir. I got to talk to you about your boys here. You guys are I think plus 29 goals since Friday against your opponents. You made you absolutely contained foot there didn't drop a step.

03:24:51.440 --> 03:24:56.720
What did how do you characterize this excess? What are you guys doing different right now? That's working so well? I

03:24:57.560 --> 03:25:00.200
Think it's confidence. Honestly. I think

03:25:00.920 --> 03:25:05.160
Confidence at the same thing and I coached in my sphere. I think like one of the most important things to play this game right now

03:25:05.160 --> 03:25:10.800
It's confidence. I think there goes a lot of work into play styles and kickoff strats and everything but like

03:25:11.520 --> 03:25:14.440
Confidence is the most important thing right now. Honestly for the success

03:25:15.480 --> 03:25:20.640
Well, you they are playing with the comp is a plane with aggression to it's been incredible to watch how how

03:25:20.640 --> 03:25:24.320
dominant they have been on the pitch this weekend on the other side of the

03:25:24.320 --> 03:25:27.760
semi-finals you got Shopify and NRG one of those teams are gonna play against you

03:25:27.760 --> 03:25:31.880
for the title of regional champion do you have a preference who you get how do

03:25:31.880 --> 03:25:34.600
you feel about that matchup you think

03:25:37.480 --> 03:25:42.000
yeah you guys are great well hey I also I would say congratulations on making it

03:25:42.000 --> 03:25:44.520
to Paris have you been to Paris before are you excited about going to Paris

03:25:44.520 --> 03:25:49.520
Yeah, I am. It's going to be a good tournament in a good city as well.

03:25:49.520 --> 03:25:52.520
Yeah, yeah. Are you excited about the tournament?

03:25:52.520 --> 03:25:56.520
Is there anything in this city you're excited about specifically, like, tourist-wise?

03:25:56.520 --> 03:25:59.520
I haven't talked about it yet. Right now we're still focused on the tournament.

03:25:59.520 --> 03:26:04.520
We want to win it, and then I'll have time to think about the command or something.

03:26:04.520 --> 03:26:06.520
You got a grand final prepared for me.

03:26:06.520 --> 03:26:09.520
Congratulations on getting there. Thanks for entertaining my questions.

03:26:09.520 --> 03:26:10.520
Good luck in the finals.

03:26:10.520 --> 03:26:11.520
Thank you.

03:26:11.520 --> 03:26:15.080
All right experience on on the grind his boys are confident

03:26:15.080 --> 03:26:18.740
He wants to make sure they stay there for this next upcoming match

03:26:18.740 --> 03:26:21.760
But my goodness got a gentleman. We thought this was gonna be close

03:26:21.960 --> 03:26:26.240
We thought this was gonna be like a backup. We thought we're gonna go in 17 mates

03:26:26.240 --> 03:26:28.680
And we barely even got game four. I mean

03:26:29.600 --> 03:26:35.000
The series is not the series scores not negative of how well foot played. I do think they trade through pretty

03:26:35.480 --> 03:26:41.160
Really good Rockley. It's just that SSG just playing great Rockley. Can that's just the difference of it?

03:26:41.520 --> 03:26:47.440
The unspoken communication, at least to us, maybe it is spoken.

03:26:47.440 --> 03:26:49.800
Michael made a great point, maybe we need the comps.

03:26:49.800 --> 03:26:55.880
But just seeing how SSG utilized one another to hit you in the mouth so fast,

03:26:55.880 --> 03:26:59.280
it just, in the blink of an eye, you're just done.

03:26:59.280 --> 03:27:02.640
It's just hard to beat, man, and the X-Bears right,

03:27:02.640 --> 03:27:05.840
it shouldn't matter if they play Shot Barbellion or NRG.

03:27:05.840 --> 03:27:07.640
They keep playing like this.

03:27:08.800 --> 03:27:09.920
True, good luck.

03:27:09.920 --> 03:27:16.920
I mean the fact that it was a the fact that foot was playing as well as it was and yet it

03:27:16.920 --> 03:27:22.240
was still as short of a sweep as it was here achieved I think is more a testament to how

03:27:22.240 --> 03:27:25.200
strong SSG are looking than it were to be a blowout.

03:27:25.200 --> 03:27:31.120
Yeah, I mean that was a fantastic display of offensive capability from space station

03:27:31.120 --> 03:27:32.120
gaming.

03:27:32.120 --> 03:27:35.280
Foot put up one heck of a defensive show, Jesus especially obviously in the net he

03:27:35.280 --> 03:27:38.920
had to defend a lot of it and that doesn't even give credit to you know chronic and

03:27:38.920 --> 03:27:43.000
Justin who were out there trying to break things up in the midfield and trying to even just keep it playable

03:27:43.240 --> 03:27:48.100
That was a battle out there defensively for foot. They made that look better than it really felt. I'm sure

03:27:48.880 --> 03:27:50.960
Well, they are done with their tournament here

03:27:50.960 --> 03:27:57.200
We'll see them in future parts of the circuit including playing at the Paris Major

03:27:57.200 --> 03:28:03.320
They have clinched it on point space station with that window holds tentatively the top spot in

03:28:03.320 --> 03:28:09.000
in North America if Shopify were able to beat NRG in our next match they would play

03:28:09.000 --> 03:28:15.080
space station for the undisputed number one seed in North America. NRG though might play spoilers

03:28:15.080 --> 03:28:19.080
and they would like to leapfrog foot in the standings as well. So only two matches left on

03:28:19.080 --> 03:28:23.640
the day. Let's find out who's playing against SSG in the grand finals. This semifinal action

03:28:23.640 --> 03:28:30.600
is Shopify here Bates versus NRG. Exactly. I mean Shopify and NRG last year was open versus

03:28:30.600 --> 03:28:36.520
in our G for that it was Gen G versus G2. It's a basically what I'm saying is always first killer versus

03:28:36.520 --> 03:28:42.280
atomic that usually is what it is. At some point it does happen that's how this region has gone

03:28:42.280 --> 03:28:48.200
and has been basically since the open era began and now they're going up against each other yet again

03:28:48.200 --> 03:28:51.800
but now not a grand finals because they got to play each other the semifinals because there's

03:28:51.800 --> 03:28:58.280
a team with them young guns named SSG down looking pretty darn good if I say so myself Michael.

03:28:58.280 --> 03:29:04.560
Yeah, they're looking good, but decide who to play against them?

03:29:04.560 --> 03:29:06.000
That's a much tougher hair to split.

03:29:06.000 --> 03:29:08.680
I mean, NRG has made a pretty compelling case today.

03:29:08.680 --> 03:29:12.440
They came out here to take care of business, looked a little bit rocky, right, and that

03:29:12.440 --> 03:29:16.480
series versus artist, pro, but they took their time out and they shut the door on them,

03:29:16.480 --> 03:29:17.480
right.

03:29:17.480 --> 03:29:21.480
And Shopify Rebellion comes out of winning their game for one versus foot Esports in

03:29:21.480 --> 03:29:22.840
the upper bracket quarters today.

03:29:22.840 --> 03:29:24.280
Here's their first match of the day.

03:29:24.280 --> 03:29:27.080
A lot of people say they're the best in North America.

03:29:27.080 --> 03:29:30.940
First killer always, like you said, deep runs,

03:29:30.940 --> 03:29:36.040
LJs always look like a juicy, juicy boy online.

03:29:36.040 --> 03:29:38.920
And like, they're all veterans here.

03:29:38.920 --> 03:29:41.640
No, no, I guess not Kofa technically,

03:29:41.640 --> 03:29:43.240
at least comparatively, right?

03:29:43.240 --> 03:29:44.720
Kofa's been playing for a while,

03:29:44.720 --> 03:29:47.200
but in the sense of timescale,

03:29:47.200 --> 03:29:50.000
Kofa is the youngest person here, right?

03:29:50.000 --> 03:29:53.200
So I guess if we're gonna go on an X factor for me,

03:29:53.200 --> 03:29:57.040
I guess it has to be comfort for me.

03:29:57.040 --> 03:29:58.920
I'm thinking about LJ here, Bates.

03:29:58.920 --> 03:30:03.640
We're like, we know him as the Düsseldorf offensive MVP

03:30:03.640 --> 03:30:05.160
of that world championship, and we

03:30:05.160 --> 03:30:08.840
have expected that level of offensive productivity out

03:30:08.840 --> 03:30:10.000
of him ever since.

03:30:10.000 --> 03:30:12.640
And yet, over the last half of season,

03:30:12.640 --> 03:30:14.680
even maybe a whole year, we've been kind of like,

03:30:14.680 --> 03:30:15.480
where is LJ?

03:30:15.480 --> 03:30:16.680
What's been happening with him?

03:30:16.680 --> 03:30:19.680
And yet, it feels like at this event, this tournament,

03:30:19.680 --> 03:30:21.440
we have started to see glimpses

03:30:21.440 --> 03:30:23.360
of that offensive MVP again.

03:30:23.360 --> 03:30:25.320
And if he's playing as strong as he had,

03:30:25.320 --> 03:30:27.080
as strong as he has been in this tournament,

03:30:27.080 --> 03:30:28.720
I think energy's in trouble right now.

03:30:28.720 --> 03:30:30.600
I think you hit the nail on the head right there, Wade,

03:30:30.600 --> 03:30:32.240
because last year with the Ultimates,

03:30:32.240 --> 03:30:34.400
with his first killer, LJ and Chronic,

03:30:34.400 --> 03:30:35.800
for whatever reason, it just wasn't working.

03:30:35.800 --> 03:30:37.880
LJ wasn't doing what you expected him to do

03:30:37.880 --> 03:30:38.780
with first kill.

03:30:38.780 --> 03:30:40.920
And that's the play offense, B-Dominate,

03:30:40.920 --> 03:30:43.560
B, the offensive MVP of the season.

03:30:43.560 --> 03:30:44.520
It just wasn't happening.

03:30:44.520 --> 03:30:47.320
And now what Kofre took, it's taking a little while.

03:30:47.320 --> 03:30:49.200
But so far, he does seem more comfortable,

03:30:49.200 --> 03:30:51.400
he's more aggressive, he's getting his opportunities.

03:30:51.400 --> 03:30:55.240
They have one really bad game, I think, back in Boston, where he had zero shots or something

03:30:55.240 --> 03:30:56.240
like that.

03:30:56.240 --> 03:30:57.960
But we haven't seen that since Boston.

03:30:57.960 --> 03:31:00.800
They clearly have focused and they've honed in on that.

03:31:00.800 --> 03:31:04.040
That's been a game playing adjustment for them.

03:31:04.040 --> 03:31:08.600
And to what Michael said, they kind of do look like the best team in North America

03:31:08.600 --> 03:31:10.560
at the moment, but now they're going to have to earn it.

03:31:10.560 --> 03:31:11.560
They're going to prove it.

03:31:11.560 --> 03:31:13.600
They could beat NRG, then they could be SSG.

03:31:13.600 --> 03:31:15.600
They will be the best team going to Paris.

03:31:15.600 --> 03:31:18.480
Yeah, it's a big time.

03:31:18.480 --> 03:31:20.640
I'm curious, achieves, do you agree with that?

03:31:20.640 --> 03:31:22.640
They can beat NRG, they can beat SSG.

03:31:24.640 --> 03:31:27.640
I don't know, I might take SSG against either right now.

03:31:27.640 --> 03:31:30.640
Just based off what I've seen, but that being said,

03:31:30.640 --> 03:31:33.640
that's recency bias coming in to play pretty big there,

03:31:33.640 --> 03:31:37.640
but I think definitely Shopify or NRG can both beat SSG.

03:31:37.640 --> 03:31:40.640
I'm not gonna say, alright, SSG is winning no matter what,

03:31:40.640 --> 03:31:44.640
but for this one right now, I think NRG gets it.

03:31:44.640 --> 03:31:46.640
I think they're out there for grand finals.

03:31:46.640 --> 03:31:48.740
I know the shop of fire rebellions good

03:31:49.320 --> 03:31:53.740
But I'm a big believer in RG is still the best team in North America overall

03:31:53.740 --> 03:31:57.860
You can say what you want about power rankings. I think they play like the best team and they believe it

03:31:57.860 --> 03:31:59.860
I think they're gonna get it done here

03:32:02.840 --> 03:32:07.660
You know I'm sitting you're thinking about it. It's such a good case on both sides

03:32:07.660 --> 03:32:14.440
I mean it's it's shop fire rebellion that has really been shown up in a new form coming in off of a win in the last

03:32:14.440 --> 03:32:33.940
regional event. They haven't dropped a beat there, but it's championship Sunday and it's NRG, which is just it doesn't matter as long as they're playing good enough. They're going to be playing. They're going to find a way to win on championship Sunday. And I do think they're playing good enough. They're like right now. Nothing will stop them. I think I'm going to get the edge NRG. But man, it's it's so close.

03:32:33.940 --> 03:32:36.480
Man, I should have had chat over and see what Chappell's doing.

03:32:36.480 --> 03:32:44.400
Oh, man, I'll be honest, my heart wants to go with NRG, but what I've seen on the field

03:32:44.400 --> 03:32:50.160
has not given me the confidence and Rebellion, Rebellion, getting the job done, man.

03:32:50.160 --> 03:32:54.260
I think, and I'm going to go with Shopper Fire, Rebellion over NRG right here.

03:32:54.260 --> 03:32:56.700
I think they've earned, I think they've earned the pick.

03:32:56.700 --> 03:32:57.940
I think they've looked consistent.

03:32:57.940 --> 03:33:02.660
I think LJ's proven himself on this team of Kofur and FK.

03:33:02.660 --> 03:33:03.660
They look comfortable.

03:33:03.660 --> 03:33:08.780
over energy this time around. It's such a close one. One team's been put up the results. One

03:33:08.780 --> 03:33:14.860
team's got just such a long history log of showing up at this specific moment and finding

03:33:14.860 --> 03:33:19.260
ways to win even against opponents that look better than they do. Energy is so good at

03:33:19.260 --> 03:33:24.140
making teams look bad. And will they do it again here? We're about to find out folks.

03:33:24.140 --> 03:33:28.780
We're split on the desk. You guys are split in chat. There's one spot left in the finals.

03:33:28.780 --> 03:33:32.940
SSG is waiting for the results of this game.

03:33:32.940 --> 03:33:35.700
Shopify Rebellion versus World Champions.

03:33:35.700 --> 03:33:38.820
NRG for a shot at the North American title.

03:33:44.540 --> 03:33:47.220
Let's get into this one, Dazarin.

03:33:47.220 --> 03:33:49.460
We have NRG back at it.

03:33:49.460 --> 03:33:51.620
Once more against Shopify Rebellion.

03:33:51.620 --> 03:33:56.620
These two rivals clashing for what seems like eternity

03:33:56.940 --> 03:33:58.300
if you're a North American fan.

03:33:58.300 --> 03:34:02.860
first killer versus NRG or first killer versus atomic,

03:34:02.860 --> 03:34:05.020
however you want to frame this,

03:34:05.020 --> 03:34:09.260
these are certainly the entertaining regional rivals

03:34:09.260 --> 03:34:11.100
they love seeing match up.

03:34:11.100 --> 03:34:15.620
Absolutely, James, NRG versus rebellion.

03:34:15.620 --> 03:34:19.740
CJ CJ versus Gary, first killer versus,

03:34:19.740 --> 03:34:22.380
it's just a lot going on right now, okay?

03:34:22.380 --> 03:34:25.380
Battle for number one in North America.

03:34:25.380 --> 03:34:27.620
Of course I said G's in that conversation,

03:34:27.620 --> 03:34:30.660
But you really want to see how these two teams measure up,

03:34:30.660 --> 03:34:33.620
especially when Paris is the next lineup for all of them.

03:34:36.780 --> 03:34:39.700
NRG hasn't really been performing at the level

03:34:39.700 --> 03:34:40.800
that you'd expect from them.

03:34:40.800 --> 03:34:43.100
Shot the Fire Rebellion on the other hand,

03:34:43.100 --> 03:34:44.980
have finally started to figure things out

03:34:44.980 --> 03:34:46.660
on the team play side of things.

03:34:46.660 --> 03:34:48.140
That was the big criticism with them.

03:34:48.140 --> 03:34:51.500
And then last regional, they amped up the team plays

03:34:51.500 --> 03:34:53.260
and obliterated everybody.

03:34:53.260 --> 03:34:54.380
And you wonder if they're going

03:34:54.380 --> 03:34:57.100
to be able to bring that same level of gameplay here.

03:34:57.100 --> 03:35:01.380
And even though NRG hasn't really been that top dog this season,

03:35:01.380 --> 03:35:03.780
Daz, I still feel like this matchup,

03:35:03.780 --> 03:35:05.940
you never really know which way it's going to go.

03:35:05.940 --> 03:35:08.260
And first killer already getting a big stop.

03:35:08.260 --> 03:35:11.220
But the rebound is good for Daniel.

03:35:11.220 --> 03:35:12.380
Look at that follow up to it.

03:35:12.380 --> 03:35:13.660
I think that was Daniel and Beast Mode.

03:35:13.660 --> 03:35:15.260
What a goalie for that.

03:35:15.260 --> 03:35:17.380
Double from Atomic blocked by first killer.

03:35:17.380 --> 03:35:18.460
What an image that is.

03:35:18.460 --> 03:35:21.700
But Daniel with the follow up, Beast Mode, leaving it for him.

03:35:21.700 --> 03:35:24.900
NRG, early pressure here to start the series.

03:35:24.900 --> 03:35:32.900
good start for NRG. Wave Punk, he was a little disappointed that we haven't seen

03:35:32.900 --> 03:35:39.900
Champions field today. I told him this series we might see it unless NRG gets

03:35:39.900 --> 03:35:42.900
to the heights they haven't been able to reach. It looks like they've had a great start.

03:35:42.900 --> 03:35:48.900
Beast mode off the ceiling straight down, first killer just misses it and NRG

03:35:48.900 --> 03:35:53.900
early started to remember James Long series. We talked about Rebellion and how well

03:35:53.900 --> 03:35:58.620
they've looked informed, but a real test is these matchups here. When you go against the NRG's,

03:35:58.620 --> 03:36:04.620
we go up, even against the SSG's, how well are you performing in those particular matchups?

03:36:04.620 --> 03:36:08.540
It kind of gives you a little taste of things. So far, NRG with the hot start. We haven't seen

03:36:08.540 --> 03:36:13.660
offense from Rebellion so far in this game. Kofa hunting to set up space, but as soon as

03:36:13.660 --> 03:36:17.340
there's a demo from Kofa, Beastmo gets a demo on Elger, the ball, Kofa will take a quick shot,

03:36:17.340 --> 03:36:22.540
but saved out. And Daniel, back to midfield. Atomic, high ball to force it off the

03:36:22.540 --> 03:36:26.340
the back wall the first two are not days no one is there to follow.

03:36:26.340 --> 03:36:31.640
Kofor pushing it to the corner right to the corner boost Kofor with a demo from behind

03:36:31.640 --> 03:36:38.340
LJ lands a demo it went from Kofor as well Kofor looking for the pass down and somehow

03:36:38.340 --> 03:36:43.060
that ball makes it back to the corner however shop 5 rebellion really twisting the screw

03:36:43.060 --> 03:36:44.060
tighter.

03:36:44.060 --> 03:36:45.060
Yeah.

03:36:45.060 --> 03:36:50.900
NRG looking awkward here you see Kofor trying to get there quickly to cut things

03:36:50.900 --> 03:36:57.860
out and the physicality energy even much more demos from them considering how

03:36:57.860 --> 03:37:01.420
they looked in their last years against Verdi's they weren't necessarily too heavy

03:37:01.420 --> 03:37:05.060
on the demo front this time they are starting to connect on those always the

03:37:05.060 --> 03:37:09.700
threat of the Bop of course but really landing needs to throw off rebellion's

03:37:09.700 --> 03:37:14.140
offensive offensive prowess making them slow down a little bit Kofur wanted to

03:37:14.140 --> 03:37:17.100
get that mid to first killer look at beast mode just great read of play to

03:37:17.100 --> 03:37:20.420
be able to get that just cut out.

03:37:20.420 --> 03:37:23.260
Shot fire rebellion this fight given up those first two goals

03:37:23.260 --> 03:37:26.700
have had a decent amount of possession here.

03:37:26.700 --> 03:37:28.860
LJ back to the middle first killer

03:37:28.860 --> 03:37:33.660
a bit slow to the ball still winning that 50 forward.

03:37:33.660 --> 03:37:34.860
Beast mode.

03:37:34.860 --> 03:37:36.780
It's helped from Daniel.

03:37:36.780 --> 03:37:38.180
LJ to Colfer.

03:37:38.180 --> 03:37:41.620
Colfer maybe he was going to look for first killer.

03:37:41.620 --> 03:37:44.220
Shot going right across the line easily stopped by Beast

03:37:44.220 --> 03:37:44.720
mode.

03:37:44.720 --> 03:37:47.020
First killer flip reset goes low.

03:37:47.020 --> 03:37:50.620
Pass over to LJ and look at that beautiful team play

03:37:50.620 --> 03:37:52.100
from Rebellion.

03:37:52.100 --> 03:37:54.660
I mean, this just looks so good when Rebellion are able

03:37:54.660 --> 03:37:55.300
to connect.

03:37:55.300 --> 03:37:58.860
First killer had the flip, used it at the final second

03:37:58.860 --> 03:38:01.060
and LJ quick follow.

03:38:01.060 --> 03:38:03.580
That's what Rebellion are going to need here in that midfield.

03:38:03.580 --> 03:38:06.580
That speed ping off perfectly here.

03:38:06.580 --> 03:38:08.220
Minute 52 now here, James.

03:38:08.220 --> 03:38:09.420
We see Rebellion on the board.

03:38:09.420 --> 03:38:11.540
That was their first shot of the game.

03:38:11.540 --> 03:38:12.420
And it was a good one.

03:38:12.420 --> 03:38:13.980
And it was an even better pass.

03:38:13.980 --> 03:38:18.020
First killer was actually on his perspective on that play.

03:38:18.020 --> 03:38:21.260
Used his camera joystick, found where LJ was

03:38:21.260 --> 03:38:24.140
so he could put that pass right where he needed to.

03:38:24.140 --> 03:38:27.180
Beautiful pass from first killer.

03:38:28.780 --> 03:38:31.660
Shopify Rebellion able to really get going

03:38:31.660 --> 03:38:33.920
on those team plays last regional.

03:38:34.740 --> 03:38:36.900
And they can keep making plays like that.

03:38:36.900 --> 03:38:39.660
Surely a threat to win it all again.

03:38:39.660 --> 03:38:41.620
But they still find themselves trailing in this game

03:38:41.620 --> 03:38:42.940
as we approach the final minute.

03:38:42.940 --> 03:38:47.420
LJ though will be pushing forward lots of possession still for rebellion despite

03:38:47.980 --> 03:38:52.560
NRG getting those first two goals Dazz rebellion has been holding on to this ball a majority of the time

03:38:52.940 --> 03:38:56.920
Yeah, but it has been a little bit more spread out

03:38:56.920 --> 03:39:02.060
I think the rebellion would like it a lot of these to play just beats and not really able to set each other up

03:39:02.060 --> 03:39:06.660
Just more so okay. Let's take this away from NRG. So NRG are comfortable

03:39:07.220 --> 03:39:10.100
It's gonna be up to a play like first killer

03:39:10.100 --> 03:39:14.880
maybe to make an impact here. Kulfer's been playing a little bit further back so far as

03:39:14.880 --> 03:39:19.740
he's going to try to get involved. Oh! But his first killer, actually had to pass for

03:39:19.740 --> 03:39:24.620
LJ. We're tied! First killer waiting in the middle of the field, trusting that LJ could

03:39:24.620 --> 03:39:31.860
cook. LJ doing everything! Fine, and first killer through the traffic. Another team

03:39:31.860 --> 03:39:36.940
play between those two. You know, I was talking about Kulfer there because I was

03:39:36.940 --> 03:39:42.260
What is POV? He was essentially playing behind LJ. He jumped off the back wall.

03:39:42.260 --> 03:39:44.260
Oh, it was the first killer. What a save.

03:39:44.260 --> 03:39:47.460
I'm confused. I'm like, wait, why is he jumping in that scene?

03:39:47.460 --> 03:39:49.460
You see the pass come out. Very good work.

03:39:49.460 --> 03:39:51.460
Oh, oh, bang! The first killer!

03:39:51.460 --> 03:39:53.960
Wow! Spoke out the stop!

03:39:55.800 --> 03:39:58.300
So close yet so far!

03:40:00.260 --> 03:40:03.800
First killer off the bar and out.

03:40:04.800 --> 03:40:06.300
Could have been in game right there.

03:40:06.940 --> 03:40:13.500
Now LJ, that's not the best 50. This should be a ball for NRG. Atomic with full

03:40:13.500 --> 03:40:17.460
boost around one. Atomic trying to get around it.

03:40:17.460 --> 03:40:22.580
Kofir, I think he can test. I want to play it. Will it bite him?

03:40:22.580 --> 03:40:28.620
Bees. Atomic. Oh, okay. I saw Atomic appeal. He just does the corner

03:40:28.620 --> 03:40:32.300
boost. I thought they were going to play it into him, but no. It's an LOT kickoff.

03:40:32.300 --> 03:40:36.480
First killer diving forward Daniel great clearance there to eliminate the danger

03:40:36.480 --> 03:40:40.480
if you're in a murk hitbox that goes in

03:40:45.480 --> 03:40:50.900
it was close that was vulnerable but that ship just a little bit too high

03:40:50.900 --> 03:40:56.480
however Shopify rebellion still having the ball off kicked off go for trying to

03:40:56.480 --> 03:41:01.200
find his way out atomic pops it up over one first killer defending on the goal

03:41:01.200 --> 03:41:05.200
Daniel's up as well. Daniel puts it off the backboard.

03:41:05.200 --> 03:41:08.200
Now Shopify Rebellion's defense being tested.

03:41:08.200 --> 03:41:10.200
Reset. Lusty pass to Daniel.

03:41:10.200 --> 03:41:13.200
Daniel claims that one off the bar.

03:41:13.200 --> 03:41:15.200
I need to see a little bit more speed,

03:41:15.200 --> 03:41:18.200
especially from Culver here in some of these situations.

03:41:18.200 --> 03:41:21.200
It's just a little slow and it's been kind of biting Rebellion

03:41:21.200 --> 03:41:23.200
and keeping their offensive pressure up.

03:41:23.200 --> 03:41:26.200
A lot of guests were saying first skills have to kind of clean up

03:41:26.200 --> 03:41:29.200
after his teammates a little bit here so far in this game.

03:41:29.200 --> 03:41:34.480
And NRG dangles up and he had to track the old way and I was sending it the other way

03:41:37.200 --> 03:41:41.440
LJ already airborne beating Daniel to the ball LJ and menace

03:41:44.400 --> 03:41:50.480
Atomic for the extra touch now one kicks back hard and Daniel Daniel pushing to the corner

03:41:50.480 --> 03:41:56.640
It was a tough read for everyone beast mode the light off the elbow and in beast mode

03:41:56.640 --> 03:42:00.840
Flocks it and NRG take game one.

03:42:00.840 --> 03:42:03.080
Again, Beast Mode gets there first,

03:42:03.080 --> 03:42:06.580
Kofa has to go, but there's just too much space

03:42:06.580 --> 03:42:08.460
between him and the ball,

03:42:08.460 --> 03:42:11.680
and Beast Mode able to land it, NRG take game one.

03:42:11.680 --> 03:42:13.040
I'm concerned though for Rebellion.

03:42:13.040 --> 03:42:14.320
Such a good play.

03:42:14.320 --> 03:42:17.360
Because at this point, it feels like the game

03:42:17.360 --> 03:42:19.560
is kind of revolving around First Killer.

03:42:19.560 --> 03:42:21.160
He had an incredible game,

03:42:21.160 --> 03:42:23.080
but it was because he needed to,

03:42:23.080 --> 03:42:26.160
and I think that might be a bit of a positive series.

03:42:26.160 --> 03:42:34.600
5 saves, he had 600 points, 668, and again, what they pulled him out when he got the clinch

03:42:34.600 --> 03:42:38.760
and he went out on the midfield, that's when NRG struck the hardest, and you saw him on

03:42:38.760 --> 03:42:40.840
his way back trying to get the stop.

03:42:40.840 --> 03:42:44.480
It's just, it looks like rebellion, at least in that first game where we're winning this

03:42:44.480 --> 03:42:45.480
game to involve him.

03:42:45.480 --> 03:42:47.920
It's game one, that's it's game one.

03:42:47.920 --> 03:42:53.080
And I will say that you saw the kickoff strategy almost work out first killer

03:42:53.080 --> 03:42:55.480
Another chip in that went over, and I do promise you,

03:42:55.480 --> 03:42:57.120
you run that simulation with a market box.

03:42:57.120 --> 03:42:58.840
It goes bar down in every time.

03:42:58.840 --> 03:43:01.360
Did it to Gazz in the warm-up lobby.

03:43:01.360 --> 03:43:06.280
But I will say, Beast Mode's last shot was so good.

03:43:06.280 --> 03:43:09.320
He saw the defender coming, and it

03:43:09.320 --> 03:43:11.080
gets the light touch around, basically

03:43:11.080 --> 03:43:13.040
throwing that change up, perfectly getting

03:43:13.040 --> 03:43:14.120
around that first defender.

03:43:14.120 --> 03:43:15.720
It was almost saved on the follow-up.

03:43:15.720 --> 03:43:18.520
But another play, Daniel, that hard hit to the corner

03:43:18.520 --> 03:43:21.600
reacting so quickly off of that pinch that

03:43:21.600 --> 03:43:22.960
was coming back towards him.

03:43:22.960 --> 03:43:25.200
It was so hard hit off the corner as well for Daniel

03:43:25.200 --> 03:43:26.400
that LJ couldn't make the read.

03:43:26.400 --> 03:43:28.720
Daniel probably didn't even want to touch that ball,

03:43:28.720 --> 03:43:30.320
let that get out into the middle for Beast Mode

03:43:30.320 --> 03:43:31.240
to take the shot.

03:43:31.240 --> 03:43:36.080
It was a very good play from NRG and hard fought victory,

03:43:36.080 --> 03:43:37.280
a hard fought game one.

03:43:37.280 --> 03:43:38.700
And I was saying before,

03:43:38.700 --> 03:43:42.200
wave pump complaining about not seeing champions field.

03:43:42.200 --> 03:43:45.760
I think this series is maybe the best candidate

03:43:45.760 --> 03:43:47.480
of the day to give it to us.

03:43:48.480 --> 03:43:50.440
Rebellion have to make some adjustments.

03:43:50.440 --> 03:43:52.520
That much I think is for certain

03:43:52.520 --> 03:43:54.540
going into this game, too.

03:43:54.540 --> 03:43:57.820
I think that first game was also kind of wearable for them.

03:43:57.820 --> 03:43:58.740
But look at LJ.

03:43:58.740 --> 03:44:01.220
LJ was making work, set up a lane for first killer.

03:44:01.220 --> 03:44:03.060
And can't get past two.

03:44:03.060 --> 03:44:06.300
Defense from NRG, very solid.

03:44:06.300 --> 03:44:10.580
This really depends on how things kind of move around here.

03:44:10.580 --> 03:44:13.180
NRG is just so good at kind of protecting the net.

03:44:13.180 --> 03:44:16.180
You really have to force the area in some situations.

03:44:16.180 --> 03:44:17.420
They have a high ball.

03:44:17.420 --> 03:44:18.860
First go look for the double,

03:44:18.860 --> 03:44:20.220
but it's going to be cleared out.

03:44:20.220 --> 03:44:22.020
Big corner boost steal from Kofa as well.

03:44:22.020 --> 03:44:30.020
Kofor then put it to immediate use, stays behind enemy lines, and he finds the goal.

03:44:30.020 --> 03:44:32.020
Okay, that's the adjustment I'm looking for.

03:44:32.020 --> 03:44:36.020
Give it to Kofor, green right past the heal, into the top corner.

03:44:36.020 --> 03:44:37.020
I like that.

03:44:37.020 --> 03:44:39.020
More of that, please.

03:44:39.020 --> 03:44:44.020
Beautiful work there for LJ to see it, and great just for Kofor to go up and get it.

03:44:44.020 --> 03:44:46.020
I'm sure that's what Shopify Rebellion fans were waiting for.

03:44:46.020 --> 03:44:50.020
We saw a really good gameplay between LJ and First Killer on the attack.

03:44:50.020 --> 03:44:52.620
You know, Kofor has that in him too.

03:44:52.620 --> 03:44:55.740
Kofor making his impact felt not only getting that redirect,

03:44:55.740 --> 03:44:58.220
but a key win in that corner boost race.

03:44:58.220 --> 03:44:59.220
And now another shot.

03:44:59.220 --> 03:44:59.720
Wow.

03:44:59.720 --> 03:45:00.660
Going to sail right in.

03:45:00.660 --> 03:45:03.260
LJ pouncing on that ball.

03:45:03.260 --> 03:45:06.380
OK, you're giving LJ a free shot.

03:45:06.380 --> 03:45:08.300
Not a likely B-Smo jumps for it,

03:45:08.300 --> 03:45:10.340
but I feel like B-Smo should have kept

03:45:10.340 --> 03:45:12.900
boosting toward the ball, trying to play the 50 there.

03:45:12.900 --> 03:45:14.660
He gave LJ that shot.

03:45:14.660 --> 03:45:16.260
And of course, that's perfect placement.

03:45:16.260 --> 03:45:17.420
You can do that.

03:45:17.420 --> 03:45:21.940
I think it messed up B-Smo when Atomic had some contact

03:45:21.940 --> 03:45:23.300
with one of the Shopify players.

03:45:23.300 --> 03:45:26.500
B-Smo, a little bit thrown off by that, positioning wise,

03:45:26.500 --> 03:45:28.580
ended up giving that ball away.

03:45:28.580 --> 03:45:33.580
So I don't see too many mistakes from NRG.

03:45:33.580 --> 03:45:36.020
But one there allowed Shopify Rebellion to have a look

03:45:36.020 --> 03:45:40.300
and they converted very strong start to game two.

03:45:40.300 --> 03:45:42.540
Atomic shut down.

03:45:42.540 --> 03:45:44.500
First killer, lots of boost here.

03:45:47.420 --> 03:45:51.340
Oh, the top of the little awkward here is going to jump though, but it's just a force.

03:45:51.340 --> 03:45:53.340
Daniel, not going to pass it.

03:45:53.340 --> 03:45:57.020
Atomic is actually upfield on the back wall as Daniel just has a lot of time here to

03:45:57.020 --> 03:45:58.020
send it through.

03:45:58.020 --> 03:46:00.020
They wanted to make LJ awkward, but couldn't connect.

03:46:00.020 --> 03:46:02.020
Atomic has to rotate out.

03:46:02.020 --> 03:46:03.700
Needed here, he's going to switch the play.

03:46:03.700 --> 03:46:04.700
Sending it to the left side.

03:46:04.700 --> 03:46:07.820
Picking up the boost as well, but LJ great 50.

03:46:07.820 --> 03:46:08.820
Cole from ball out.

03:46:08.820 --> 03:46:09.820
First kill is not going to go for that.

03:46:09.820 --> 03:46:10.820
They have to be careful because Atomic's going to...

03:46:10.820 --> 03:46:11.820
Oh, it's open!

03:46:11.820 --> 03:46:12.820
Atomic like that!

03:46:12.820 --> 03:46:13.820
Oh!

03:46:13.820 --> 03:46:16.660
He was trying to do the entire timing number for the ball.

03:46:16.660 --> 03:46:17.580
Game ball!

03:46:17.580 --> 03:46:19.980
Cleave for Tomik!

03:46:19.980 --> 03:46:21.260
Taking no chances.

03:46:21.260 --> 03:46:24.500
It looked like LJ may have gotten back in time.

03:46:24.500 --> 03:46:26.100
Tough to say.

03:46:26.100 --> 03:46:30.260
But Tomik doesn't leave anything to chance.

03:46:30.260 --> 03:46:34.660
Saw that, or predicted that rotation coming in

03:46:34.660 --> 03:46:35.780
and got that light touch.

03:46:35.780 --> 03:46:38.700
That is not an easy touch to make.

03:46:38.700 --> 03:46:43.180
OK, we are sending players up here

03:46:43.180 --> 03:46:47.260
for passes. That is the name of the game so far. Game two, two goals been scored that way.

03:46:48.060 --> 03:46:53.820
First killer was looking for another one, but he ended up getting cut out and now rebellion

03:46:53.820 --> 03:46:59.340
have to be a little, very careful here. You give in RG1, they can surge, get it,

03:46:59.340 --> 03:47:02.140
something back to back. And there's plenty of time left here in game four.

03:47:04.460 --> 03:47:09.660
Gopher, missing on the buff attempt. LJ to the backboard caught by Daniel.

03:47:09.660 --> 03:47:14.460
Lance on the ceiling, LJ intercepting.

03:47:14.460 --> 03:47:19.420
Now Kofir taking over from the LJ, touch Kofir again.

03:47:19.420 --> 03:47:20.940
Out of enough boost, couldn't get to it in time.

03:47:20.940 --> 03:47:22.340
Daniel, reset.

03:47:22.340 --> 03:47:25.460
He's got it, goes for the 50, it goes off the backboard.

03:47:25.460 --> 03:47:27.140
Beast mode.

03:47:27.140 --> 03:47:29.260
Nice touch, Beast mode takes two out of the play,

03:47:29.260 --> 03:47:32.500
but it's going to the opposite corner, LJ, now on it.

03:47:32.500 --> 03:47:33.500
Dumped by Atomic.

03:47:33.500 --> 03:47:35.460
Atomic lands a bump on first killer.

03:47:35.460 --> 03:47:39.260
Daniel will punch that one in thanks to Atomic.

03:47:39.260 --> 03:47:40.660
landing that bump.

03:47:40.660 --> 03:47:42.020
Oh, Atomic is moving.

03:47:42.020 --> 03:47:43.940
He's tracking the place two steps ahead.

03:47:43.940 --> 03:47:45.820
He knew he was going to get the 50 on LJ.

03:47:45.820 --> 03:47:48.220
The wind starts chain-dashing immediately.

03:47:48.220 --> 03:47:50.020
He says, to the move, first killer.

03:47:50.020 --> 03:47:54.900
And just like that, we are tied up here in game two.

03:47:54.900 --> 03:47:57.900
Atomic has been a big key factor in the reason

03:47:57.900 --> 03:48:00.980
why 100% goal participation.

03:48:00.980 --> 03:48:03.820
Cole for a little bit maybe had a chance

03:48:03.820 --> 03:48:06.060
to clear that off the goal line in split second,

03:48:06.060 --> 03:48:09.220
but not enough at beast mode, almost redirecting.

03:48:09.220 --> 03:48:11.900
We're a skiller fighting through it.

03:48:11.900 --> 03:48:13.340
Eastmote on the catch.

03:48:13.340 --> 03:48:16.020
LJ nice high challenge shuts it down.

03:48:16.020 --> 03:48:17.020
Kofor last back.

03:48:17.020 --> 03:48:20.100
Atomic will have a pinch off his car, go all the way back

03:48:20.100 --> 03:48:20.940
to the corner.

03:48:20.940 --> 03:48:22.820
Eastmote gets the corner, full boost,

03:48:22.820 --> 03:48:23.660
booms it off the gut.

03:48:23.660 --> 03:48:25.420
LJ stops it, hammers it to the backboard.

03:48:25.420 --> 03:48:27.020
Daniel couldn't get the read!

03:48:27.020 --> 03:48:28.740
And Kofor could!

03:48:28.740 --> 03:48:30.820
Rebellion back on top!

03:48:30.820 --> 03:48:34.020
And Kofor is going from the NRG corner

03:48:34.020 --> 03:48:35.780
when he jumps from this.

03:48:35.780 --> 03:48:37.900
What a way to track that ball.

03:48:37.900 --> 03:48:41.620
That's a hard shot, just like you tore it from Dan and saved that.

03:48:41.620 --> 03:48:43.420
Goal, and get it once again.

03:48:43.420 --> 03:48:46.980
Kofur, two for two on those shots.

03:48:46.980 --> 03:48:48.460
Great game from Kofur.

03:48:48.460 --> 03:48:49.820
Kick off.

03:48:49.820 --> 03:48:50.820
And it was just Kofur.

03:48:50.820 --> 03:48:52.180
Oh, yes.

03:48:52.180 --> 03:48:55.660
Denied, really nice save out to the corner.

03:48:55.660 --> 03:48:57.740
But more team plays from Rebellion.

03:48:57.740 --> 03:48:59.460
Atomic now going for it as well.

03:48:59.460 --> 03:49:02.380
That one pinched off the bar and out.

03:49:02.380 --> 03:49:05.260
The team worked on both sides of the pitch.

03:49:05.260 --> 03:49:06.740
Oh, respected Rebellion.

03:49:06.740 --> 03:49:09.380
I saw you with the Karmus Korp kickoff.

03:49:09.380 --> 03:49:11.820
Still trying to make more work here.

03:49:11.820 --> 03:49:14.020
They are hungry here in this game too.

03:49:15.220 --> 03:49:17.760
And NRG being fully tested.

03:49:18.820 --> 03:49:21.220
This has been quite the game to watch.

03:49:21.220 --> 03:49:23.300
Both these teams have just, I mean,

03:49:23.300 --> 03:49:25.180
this is what happens when you get two tights going

03:49:25.180 --> 03:49:26.020
and get each other.

03:49:26.020 --> 03:49:29.060
First killer, pass there, you'll top end.

03:49:29.060 --> 03:49:31.780
What is this pass from Kompfer as well?

03:49:31.780 --> 03:49:33.460
Look at that, he hits.

03:49:33.460 --> 03:49:35.740
He hits first killer in stride.

03:49:36.740 --> 03:49:42.540
Straight into a perfect dribble catch and a perfect top corner flick.

03:49:44.040 --> 03:49:47.940
Oh man, NRG gave Rebellion a bit of a counterpunch.

03:49:47.940 --> 03:49:50.440
They said, all right, if you're going to slow down,

03:49:50.440 --> 03:49:52.140
you will take advantage of it.

03:49:52.140 --> 03:49:54.340
Rebellion said, okay, fine, we'll speed it up.

03:49:54.340 --> 03:49:57.240
Another laser towards the net, but that went out on target.

03:49:57.240 --> 03:49:58.940
First kill trying to get the follow-up.

03:49:58.940 --> 03:50:02.140
I was able to keep this one in at 43 seconds to go,

03:50:02.140 --> 03:50:03.540
but hold on, hope for last back.

03:50:03.540 --> 03:50:04.840
That's a stretch here a little bit.

03:50:04.840 --> 03:50:06.440
Stay on top of the ball.

03:50:06.440 --> 03:50:11.000
NRG got a demo though and he's my way get a little bit of freedom here so awkward

03:50:11.000 --> 03:50:17.560
But no enough for NRG to capitalize. We hit the 32nd mark and I'll say even fight through that buck to get the clear out

03:50:18.520 --> 03:50:22.440
So I had to get from B snow at atomic shot didn't have enough on it

03:50:23.600 --> 03:50:25.600
On all your seconds here

03:50:26.160 --> 03:50:33.360
Daniel airborne with some boost flip reset up and over first killer to cofer on the side while cofer

03:50:33.600 --> 03:50:35.600
Wasting even more time

03:50:35.600 --> 03:50:42.160
And that clear looks to be enough Daniel go for one more play atomic couldn't get anything on the shot

03:50:43.160 --> 03:50:47.720
And a great game from rebellion and Kofor in particular

03:50:48.440 --> 03:50:50.440
So good for Kofor this game

03:50:50.600 --> 03:50:54.000
Yes, good for Cole. I mean Kofor and LJ both respectively

03:50:54.000 --> 03:50:57.560
But I like giving that one to Kofor it just felt like again

03:50:57.560 --> 03:50:59.520
They were a little bit flat game one

03:50:59.520 --> 03:51:04.560
But what I what they got to notice about them is what's this definitely so once they start getting on the board or just connecting

03:51:04.560 --> 03:51:10.360
They both of them elevate and they elevated in a big way here.

03:51:10.360 --> 03:51:14.560
It just felt like again, such a great read on the field.

03:51:14.560 --> 03:51:19.560
The communication looks pristine and their passing is just so much fun to watch.

03:51:19.560 --> 03:51:24.560
It is. They've really grown into the the Shopify rebellion you're seeing today.

03:51:24.560 --> 03:51:27.560
Had to go through some growing pains, very individualistic before.

03:51:27.560 --> 03:51:29.560
But now you're seeing these team passing plays.

03:51:29.560 --> 03:51:33.560
You're seeing the impact that Kofor had this game as well, winning that corner boost.

03:51:33.560 --> 03:51:35.120
Grace going for the redirect.

03:51:35.120 --> 03:51:39.280
That set the tone for the game, for Rebellion.

03:51:39.280 --> 03:51:41.200
And then this mistake here from Beast Mode

03:51:41.200 --> 03:51:42.120
can't be given away.

03:51:42.120 --> 03:51:43.720
Free goals.

03:51:43.720 --> 03:51:46.480
LJ especially, such a good shooter.

03:51:46.480 --> 03:51:49.920
NRG did make a great comeback, Daz.

03:51:49.920 --> 03:51:53.720
But Rebellion, they just looked so good this game.

03:51:53.720 --> 03:51:58.320
I mean, you can understand how they are in many people's

03:51:58.320 --> 03:52:00.800
minds, the number one team in NA.

03:52:00.800 --> 03:52:01.320
Yeah.

03:52:01.320 --> 03:52:03.400
I mean, would plays like that?

03:52:03.400 --> 03:52:13.000
It may be something that becomes, instead of a debating topic, a comfort pick as Rebellion just surged there to take that game too.

03:52:13.000 --> 03:52:19.240
Can they keep it up though? NRG going to look to make some adjustments here. Big swing game to see who takes control of the series.

03:52:20.520 --> 03:52:28.120
Also that play, Kofor passing that ball down to First Killer who caught it in stride. Perfect talk corner flick.

03:52:28.120 --> 03:52:31.660
And now this one bouncing towards net.

03:52:31.660 --> 03:52:33.400
Allows Shopify to move up field.

03:52:33.400 --> 03:52:35.080
LJ with the zero boost challenge.

03:52:35.080 --> 03:52:37.360
Atomic with a nice touch forward.

03:52:37.360 --> 03:52:40.720
Atomic hoping to get some help from Daniel.

03:52:40.720 --> 03:52:43.120
Kofor was able to dodge that buff attempt

03:52:43.120 --> 03:52:44.400
to get that ball to the corner.

03:52:44.400 --> 03:52:46.320
Well, we do see some early NRG pressure.

03:52:46.320 --> 03:52:48.280
There's a buff.

03:52:48.280 --> 03:52:50.160
And Daniel with a 50.

03:52:50.160 --> 03:52:52.160
Feels like they're playing three steps ahead, James.

03:52:52.160 --> 03:52:55.400
Everybody moving, but everybody just in the right spot.

03:52:55.400 --> 03:52:57.120
And it just feels like NRG though.

03:52:57.120 --> 03:52:59.020
A bit of a step ahead at this point.

03:52:59.020 --> 03:53:00.460
They've been so quick.

03:53:00.460 --> 03:53:04.500
Atomic especially on his follow-ups on the plate.

03:53:04.500 --> 03:53:07.560
Looking threatening here, but first killer able to get this one

03:53:07.560 --> 03:53:09.000
out, gets a little bit of space.

03:53:09.000 --> 03:53:10.620
But only a moment.

03:53:10.620 --> 03:53:12.420
It's cool for Trey to get it to first killer.

03:53:12.420 --> 03:53:14.820
He's back with the intended to redirect it.

03:53:14.820 --> 03:53:16.740
Just couldn't connect it.

03:53:16.740 --> 03:53:18.800
The head fake from LJ allowed him to get that ball

03:53:18.800 --> 03:53:21.220
with the side ball as well.

03:53:21.220 --> 03:53:23.540
Beast mode, except the corner boost on respawn.

03:53:23.540 --> 03:53:24.420
LJ with the mid.

03:53:24.420 --> 03:53:26.060
Daniel now up against first killer.

03:53:26.060 --> 03:53:27.680
Rips a shot right away.

03:53:27.680 --> 03:53:31.140
First killer collects it nicely on his own backboard.

03:53:31.140 --> 03:53:35.180
Another strong 50 as well downfield.

03:53:35.180 --> 03:53:36.380
You see how much field positioning

03:53:36.380 --> 03:53:39.260
he gives rebellion to when you get that LJ.

03:53:39.260 --> 03:53:41.300
You're taking a shot, though, and beast mode there.

03:53:41.300 --> 03:53:42.060
Hold on.

03:53:42.060 --> 03:53:45.340
Oh, good demo to give Atomic some breathing space here.

03:53:45.340 --> 03:53:46.620
First kill spawns back right.

03:53:46.620 --> 03:53:48.980
Immediately has to jump, and beast mode

03:53:48.980 --> 03:53:50.980
still on top of the tracking.

03:53:50.980 --> 03:53:58.660
Colfer will get the clearance there and looks for the follow does get a beat there on Dan and

03:53:59.440 --> 03:54:01.760
NRG they put rebellion in a

03:54:02.520 --> 03:54:07.320
Bit of a comfortable situations, but they just haven't been able to find that finishing punch

03:54:08.200 --> 03:54:10.200
True, but it's been a two-way street

03:54:11.200 --> 03:54:15.240
So this one right on the goal line and Tommy jumps right on it

03:54:16.400 --> 03:54:18.640
Where was the rebellion defense on this one deaths?

03:54:18.640 --> 03:54:20.640
I mean, they're just awkward.

03:54:20.640 --> 03:54:23.640
I think it was the threat of Beast Mode just kind of being there.

03:54:23.640 --> 03:54:25.640
Made everybody kind of freeze for a second.

03:54:25.640 --> 03:54:28.640
They didn't know he had no boost and really no intention of bumping.

03:54:28.640 --> 03:54:34.640
He was just building the hesitation, throwing off the rhythm, getting the gap for Atomic.

03:54:34.640 --> 03:54:35.640
And it was absolutely necessary.

03:54:35.640 --> 03:54:38.640
Great work there for Atomic to play a pass to defense.

03:54:38.640 --> 03:54:40.640
And I think really what threw the defense off is they were,

03:54:40.640 --> 03:54:42.640
the defense was playing a bounce off the backboard,

03:54:42.640 --> 03:54:44.640
but Atomic jumped onto the back wall

03:54:44.640 --> 03:54:47.640
and got that extra touch to send it across the goal line.

03:54:47.640 --> 03:54:53.580
Completely catching the defense off-guard wonderful stuff from atomic

03:54:57.160 --> 03:54:59.160
Daniel poke around

03:55:00.640 --> 03:55:03.520
Over to be smooth he's on the side wall hitting it off the corner

03:55:03.880 --> 03:55:08.760
LJ right to atomic but a good challenge from first killer sitting back to the middle first killer

03:55:09.840 --> 03:55:13.520
The little precarious there. Yeah still dangerous be smooth

03:55:13.520 --> 03:55:14.340
Oh, Daniel!

03:55:14.340 --> 03:55:15.320
Chipping towards the backboard.

03:55:15.320 --> 03:55:17.240
Daniel was there, and oh man!

03:55:17.240 --> 03:55:18.940
NRG almost made it happen.

03:55:18.940 --> 03:55:21.080
Yeah, I mean, good read there to give it to Daniel.

03:55:21.080 --> 03:55:23.120
Daniel got it straight down.

03:55:23.120 --> 03:55:24.200
Looking for more.

03:55:24.200 --> 03:55:25.520
I want to pre-jump for the first killer

03:55:25.520 --> 03:55:27.600
to stop that play from happening.

03:55:27.600 --> 03:55:29.400
And a time make a little awkward here,

03:55:29.400 --> 03:55:30.960
trying to get the right cut.

03:55:30.960 --> 03:55:33.200
NRG's awareness has been great as they are keeping

03:55:33.200 --> 03:55:34.680
rebellion stuck in their own half.

03:55:34.680 --> 03:55:36.800
Daniel's trying to finish some strike,

03:55:36.800 --> 03:55:39.160
but again saved by LJ.

03:55:39.160 --> 03:55:42.280
I'll be his second save out of six from rebellion.

03:55:42.280 --> 03:55:44.240
First two of the three of those.

03:55:44.240 --> 03:55:45.640
Good fake challenge.

03:55:45.640 --> 03:55:47.880
Now Beast Mode, when you get to the backboard,

03:55:47.880 --> 03:55:51.240
Atomic trying to get this available to Daniel,

03:55:51.240 --> 03:55:53.920
but hit off the arc and didn't go into scoreable spot.

03:55:53.920 --> 03:55:55.240
Daniel, sidewall pass.

03:55:55.240 --> 03:55:57.040
Atomic pops it up for Beast Mode.

03:55:57.040 --> 03:55:59.960
Beast Mode, ceiling, dropped down to Atomic.

03:55:59.960 --> 03:56:03.280
Atomic misses the shot.

03:56:03.280 --> 03:56:06.440
It was an amazing play.

03:56:06.440 --> 03:56:08.360
They come up empty.

03:56:08.360 --> 03:56:11.400
Rebellion out, just trying to get out.

03:56:11.400 --> 03:56:13.360
And they can't, I mean, they're so slow,

03:56:13.360 --> 03:56:15.040
this won't boost.

03:56:15.040 --> 03:56:17.080
It's just hard for someone to get the follow.

03:56:17.080 --> 03:56:19.400
This is primary energy, you wanna be.

03:56:19.400 --> 03:56:21.280
First killer not making an error off the back wall.

03:56:21.280 --> 03:56:23.640
LJ hits a charge, but it's, look how hard it is

03:56:23.640 --> 03:56:24.680
for a Valiant to follow up.

03:56:24.680 --> 03:56:26.160
First killer finally goes.

03:56:26.160 --> 03:56:27.000
Oh, they got the bump!

03:56:27.000 --> 03:56:27.840
They got the bump!

03:56:27.840 --> 03:56:28.680
But the shot's off!

03:56:28.680 --> 03:56:29.520
Oh, it's there!

03:56:29.520 --> 03:56:31.040
Oh, but he got it!

03:56:31.040 --> 03:56:32.880
They were being boost-starved!

03:56:33.880 --> 03:56:34.880
How does that happen?

03:56:34.880 --> 03:56:36.280
First killer gets the beat

03:56:36.280 --> 03:56:39.280
and then flies forward for the bump.

03:56:39.280 --> 03:56:45.880
The first killer doing everything to pull Rebellion out of their half and LJ takes advantage.

03:56:45.880 --> 03:56:50.200
You know what they say James, big time players make big time plays.

03:56:50.200 --> 03:56:53.360
The first killer needed to get that one through.

03:56:53.360 --> 03:56:57.800
Now with a minute to go, we're bellying, still trying to strike.

03:56:57.800 --> 03:57:00.560
And they got NRG in a tough spot to have to double from Atomic, but it leaves a lot

03:57:00.560 --> 03:57:01.560
of pressure.

03:57:01.560 --> 03:57:02.560
But that has to be thrust off.

03:57:02.560 --> 03:57:03.560
Oi, hold up!

03:57:03.560 --> 03:57:04.560
Atomic with the punish!

03:57:04.560 --> 03:57:05.560
Was that a misplay from Kofa?

03:57:05.560 --> 03:57:06.560
Who was that?

03:57:06.560 --> 03:57:09.040
Miss play from Kofur. Who was that?

03:57:09.640 --> 03:57:11.400
Kofur was back wall four.

03:57:11.400 --> 03:57:12.900
Oh, he missed the ball.

03:57:12.900 --> 03:57:15.600
Yeah, got it. You got to play the ball.

03:57:16.480 --> 03:57:19.200
Got away from him, and that's a tough one.

03:57:19.200 --> 03:57:22.000
They give up 54 seconds.

03:57:22.000 --> 03:57:23.880
Do a billion and a half more offense in a tank.

03:57:23.880 --> 03:57:25.680
They've only got four shots this game.

03:57:26.180 --> 03:57:27.780
Kofur trying to make a pass.

03:57:28.220 --> 03:57:31.120
The save, and the clear off the goal line.

03:57:33.360 --> 03:57:34.960
Kofur is trying to get that back

03:57:34.960 --> 03:57:37.280
After that missed ball in the corner,

03:57:37.280 --> 03:57:38.960
LJ going for a double beast mode.

03:57:38.960 --> 03:57:42.000
They're just in time.

03:57:42.000 --> 03:57:44.480
But Kofir pushes it forward at Tommik, not much boost.

03:57:47.200 --> 03:57:48.800
First killer jumped off the side while trying

03:57:48.800 --> 03:57:50.160
to see if he could get that cut.

03:57:50.160 --> 03:57:52.200
Once he goes to the corner, did take NRG's corner,

03:57:52.200 --> 03:57:54.560
looking for a bump on beast mode, giving Kofir a lane.

03:57:54.560 --> 03:57:55.120
Now look at that.

03:57:55.120 --> 03:57:56.000
Gila on boost.

03:57:56.000 --> 03:57:56.600
Oh, damn!

03:57:56.600 --> 03:57:57.440
Big demo!

03:57:57.440 --> 03:57:59.240
Big demo on first killer.

03:57:59.240 --> 03:58:01.040
He would have had a free ball.

03:58:01.040 --> 03:58:03.360
Gila was the only one that went boost on NRG

03:58:03.360 --> 03:58:07.060
the first killer after the off of the demo which is immediately gets boosted

03:58:07.060 --> 03:58:09.040
strike atomic looking for the double

03:58:09.040 --> 03:58:12.320
atomic found it! Bees! BANG!

03:58:12.320 --> 03:58:15.800
NRG are coming alive!

03:58:15.800 --> 03:58:20.580
Atomic almost scores himself

03:58:20.580 --> 03:58:24.360
gets the pass off the backboard to Beesmode who sinks it in

03:58:24.360 --> 03:58:28.000
and they have been so close multiple times

03:58:28.000 --> 03:58:31.480
in this game Dats you saw the Atomic

03:58:31.480 --> 03:58:34.480
playing off the bar off the brilliant passing play.

03:58:34.480 --> 03:58:38.040
This time, NRG get the job done.

03:58:38.040 --> 03:58:40.480
And now, we'll come here on the play.

03:58:40.480 --> 03:58:42.960
Beast mode, since that went through.

03:58:42.960 --> 03:58:44.640
Atomic practice set up.

03:58:44.640 --> 03:58:45.920
He's keeping it up at zero.

03:58:45.920 --> 03:58:47.320
Oh, and they're going to, I think they're going to,

03:58:47.320 --> 03:58:48.280
no, they're not.

03:58:48.280 --> 03:58:49.560
But it was about to go in.

03:58:49.560 --> 03:58:53.160
NRG, consulting the wound there.

03:58:53.160 --> 03:58:53.560
Wow.

03:58:53.560 --> 03:58:55.240
Rebellion.

03:58:55.240 --> 03:58:56.680
Great game.

03:58:56.680 --> 03:59:00.960
And I mean, it was on a knifesedge there for a while

03:59:00.960 --> 03:59:05.960
At the end, Daz, I mean, but if really looking back at the game,

03:59:05.960 --> 03:59:09.960
NRG was pretty in control of the majority of that game.

03:59:09.960 --> 03:59:13.260
The only goal Rebellion got was from a crazy breakout play

03:59:13.260 --> 03:59:15.960
from first killer, where he had that beat around one,

03:59:15.960 --> 03:59:19.960
got the bump on the second player, essentially

03:59:19.960 --> 03:59:22.120
giving LJ an open net to shoot on.

03:59:22.120 --> 03:59:25.480
But NRG missed a couple chances in this game

03:59:25.480 --> 03:59:26.560
from their really passing.

03:59:26.560 --> 03:59:32.900
But for me, you know, the synergy is there for NRG.

03:59:32.900 --> 03:59:34.860
They are getting these chances.

03:59:34.860 --> 03:59:38.100
Even though the conversion's not as high as you'd expect,

03:59:38.100 --> 03:59:39.900
they're still getting so many chances

03:59:39.900 --> 03:59:43.060
that they're converting on enough to make the difference.

03:59:43.060 --> 03:59:43.980
Yeah, I can see that.

03:59:43.980 --> 03:59:46.380
I think for me, too, you know, on the other side

03:59:46.380 --> 03:59:50.260
of things, rebellion has been really good at getting

03:59:50.260 --> 03:59:53.140
those connections and getting a little bit of breakout space.

03:59:53.140 --> 03:59:55.220
But those shots that they are sending in

03:59:55.220 --> 04:00:01.780
are getting blocked and I think this one though is really more so on the side of NRG James the fact that

04:00:01.780 --> 04:00:06.820
you know even with low boost Daniel both his teams just whatever I think they essentially had triple

04:00:06.820 --> 04:00:11.700
commit on one of those last plays and it looked like oh this is a free ball for first killer he's

04:00:11.700 --> 04:00:17.460
going to be able to just make his own play it'll be a tied up game and Daniel went for the play

04:00:17.460 --> 04:00:22.580
I need to take first killer out and just dove right at him to get him out to play those

04:00:22.580 --> 04:00:26.900
quick decisions and tense moments make the difference here in series like this.

04:00:26.900 --> 04:00:30.420
They talk about quick decisions, intense moments, a timeout.

04:00:30.420 --> 04:00:32.980
Now, two to one game.

04:00:32.980 --> 04:00:38.500
So, already rebellion feeling like they got to burn that timeout.

04:00:38.500 --> 04:00:41.380
See if it helps them at all.

04:00:41.380 --> 04:00:45.180
World champion, violent panda.

04:00:45.180 --> 04:00:46.500
He's got a lot of good stuff to say.

04:00:46.500 --> 04:00:50.020
I'm sure he's been there in those big moments, been able to get the job done.

04:00:50.020 --> 04:00:55.780
really helped bring this Shopify rebellion team up to the highest level that we've seen them as well.

04:00:57.060 --> 04:01:02.820
You know, they've got it in them. Kofor, I think that last game just a little bit off that that

04:01:02.820 --> 04:01:08.260
misread on the corner, I think might have made the difference in this game. Maybe Shopify rebellion

04:01:08.260 --> 04:01:12.740
could could have wanted had that done a little bit differently. Normally, Kofor's so good,

04:01:12.740 --> 04:01:16.740
you just saw it in the game previous, how he was the big impact player. But when you're

04:01:16.740 --> 04:01:20.900
When you're playing at this level, sometimes those little mistakes make all the difference.

04:01:20.900 --> 04:01:31.420
Yeah, and now looking at this here, it does seem like NRG may have the momentum on their

04:01:31.420 --> 04:01:32.420
side here.

04:01:32.420 --> 04:01:34.140
They're forced to time out for rebellion.

04:01:34.140 --> 04:01:36.620
What does rebellion do in this situation?

04:01:36.620 --> 04:01:42.460
They can't afford to spend so much more of the game on their back half here, James.

04:01:42.460 --> 04:01:46.060
they can kind of turn things around, give NRG less opportunities.

04:01:48.860 --> 04:01:51.380
We'll see LJ racing against Atomic.

04:01:52.780 --> 04:01:56.060
Peaceboat, booms, picks up the mid-boost, trying to predict the clear, but

04:01:56.060 --> 04:02:00.460
first killer still sailed it by an LJ to Kofur. Kofur denied Atomic with the

04:02:00.460 --> 04:02:03.380
challenge from behind. Peaceboat doesn't have any boost. Atomic doesn't

04:02:03.380 --> 04:02:06.300
have any boost. Daniel was the only one with anything, but it was Atomic who

04:02:06.300 --> 04:02:10.580
came out with the save. Daniel, 50 forward. Atomic pokes it back to the

04:02:10.580 --> 04:02:13.240
Back forward, good read for first killer.

04:02:13.240 --> 04:02:16.180
Abyss mode will launch it to the opposite corner.

04:02:16.180 --> 04:02:18.220
Perhaps trying to set up more of that boost starving

04:02:18.220 --> 04:02:19.620
that they were able to do so effectively,

04:02:19.620 --> 04:02:23.380
but Kofa with a beautiful reset right to first killer.

04:02:23.380 --> 04:02:25.580
And that's the first goal of the game.

04:02:25.580 --> 04:02:28.780
Kofa off the timeout switches to the octane,

04:02:28.780 --> 04:02:30.940
gets a flip reset right to first killer

04:02:30.940 --> 04:02:32.940
and it's an open look.

04:02:32.940 --> 04:02:36.700
Good breakaway play there for rebellion.

04:02:36.700 --> 04:02:39.740
They get the first goal here, set the tone,

04:02:39.740 --> 04:02:42.100
But now they got to keep it up.

04:02:42.100 --> 04:02:44.940
Gray Reid from Kofa.

04:02:44.940 --> 04:02:48.460
Kofa saw the defense, saw that Daniel was last back,

04:02:48.460 --> 04:02:51.460
knew that he just had to get it around him.

04:02:51.460 --> 04:02:53.500
Perfect flip reset pass right for first killer.

04:02:53.500 --> 04:02:55.580
But now, long towards net, first killer

04:02:55.580 --> 04:02:58.540
keeps it to the corner, and tested back out to the middle.

04:02:58.540 --> 04:03:02.500
Kofa a bit too late, but still enough to get a hand on it.

04:03:02.500 --> 04:03:05.620
Daniel back to the Shopify corner,

04:03:05.620 --> 04:03:06.580
rolling out to the middle.

04:03:06.580 --> 04:03:09.260
Kofa hit it to the side.

04:03:09.260 --> 04:03:12.540
Corner pass from Atomic, LJ first two-inch.

04:03:12.540 --> 04:03:13.900
Big boom.

04:03:13.900 --> 04:03:15.540
Now get some space here.

04:03:15.540 --> 04:03:16.980
Eastmoe gonna struggle,

04:03:16.980 --> 04:03:17.820
getting this downfield,

04:03:17.820 --> 04:03:19.140
looking for a skill to pre-jump.

04:03:19.140 --> 04:03:20.780
Atomic though, so they can follow.

04:03:20.780 --> 04:03:22.840
LJ forced high, Kofur, no boost.

04:03:22.840 --> 04:03:24.620
Used all of it to jump on the back wall.

04:03:24.620 --> 04:03:25.620
Wanted to get it to the corner,

04:03:25.620 --> 04:03:27.300
but Atomic took the corner boost.

04:03:27.300 --> 04:03:28.980
Now Kofur's gotta get pass.

04:03:28.980 --> 04:03:31.740
LJ gets the mid just to get demoed.

04:03:31.740 --> 04:03:35.820
And Rebellion again cannot move up offensively.

04:03:35.820 --> 04:03:37.260
They gotta play this one from the back.

04:03:37.260 --> 04:03:41.620
This is where NRG wants them to play though and just helps them control the pace as the

04:03:41.620 --> 04:03:44.260
Topic wraps around, forces two to go.

04:03:44.260 --> 04:03:46.260
Let's go for it.

04:03:46.260 --> 04:03:50.060
Getting 50 by Daniel, Beast Mode's there off the bounce, we'll chip it to the backboard,

04:03:50.060 --> 04:03:53.660
fakes it to the middle, first killer saw it coming.

04:03:53.660 --> 04:03:57.820
We have seen NRG do such a great job in these past couple of games of boost starving

04:03:57.820 --> 04:03:58.820
rebellion.

04:03:58.820 --> 04:04:04.580
They're doing it again here, Daniel, to Beast Mode, Beast Mode, down to Daniel

04:04:04.580 --> 04:04:07.140
again, but it's hit back out to the middle.

04:04:07.140 --> 04:04:11.660
Atomic went for a sidewall pass, but NRG might have been caught out here.

04:04:11.660 --> 04:04:13.340
Kofi with a shot up for two to the E.

04:04:13.340 --> 04:04:15.740
He hits a weak shot right to Atomic.

04:04:15.740 --> 04:04:17.300
It was a tough angle to make.

04:04:17.300 --> 04:04:19.860
Dale going hunting downfield.

04:04:19.860 --> 04:04:23.020
McCulfer responds with a demo of his own, taking Beastmote up to play.

04:04:23.020 --> 04:04:24.660
Dale trying to buy time.

04:04:24.660 --> 04:04:28.060
Three balls for LJ and give off Beastmote to get there.

04:04:28.060 --> 04:04:30.780
Beastmote now moving upfield, just trying to be at the right here.

04:04:30.780 --> 04:04:31.340
Plays them all.

04:04:31.340 --> 04:04:32.100
It's Demo pass.

04:04:32.100 --> 04:04:35.820
The first killer had no boost and LJ came up in time to get the cut.

04:04:35.820 --> 04:04:39.760
That was a stand on top of the ball, but what a 50 win from Daniel.

04:04:39.760 --> 04:04:42.880
NRG able to get this ball back down field time and time again.

04:04:42.880 --> 04:04:44.180
They can't hold it though.

04:04:44.180 --> 04:04:46.740
Rebellion doing a great job of limiting the opportunities.

04:04:46.740 --> 04:04:51.060
Until now, Daniel dropped down into goal.

04:04:51.060 --> 04:04:54.060
NRG just kept coming at him.

04:04:54.060 --> 04:04:57.300
Atomic, lovely little tap up and over LJ.

04:04:57.300 --> 04:05:01.180
And then the perfect bounce shot beats the first challenger.

04:05:01.180 --> 04:05:04.540
Bouncing right past the defense.

04:05:04.540 --> 04:05:07.180
Another great team play, good vision from Atomic,

04:05:07.180 --> 04:05:11.500
good execution to give Daniel that shooting opportunity.

04:05:13.140 --> 04:05:15.980
Man, it just has to be,

04:05:15.980 --> 04:05:16.820
what a foul!

04:05:16.820 --> 04:05:19.980
Oh, just got there in time.

04:05:19.980 --> 04:05:22.020
But I was gonna say it has to feel rough for Rebellion

04:05:22.020 --> 04:05:23.580
doing all this work to get out

04:05:23.580 --> 04:05:25.660
and you're just stuck back on the defensive end.

04:05:25.660 --> 04:05:26.620
Here's more defense,

04:05:26.620 --> 04:05:29.420
Kofra has to dodge a bump from Daniel, follow up,

04:05:29.420 --> 04:05:33.100
he gets a bump, Kofra's got five, saves this game.

04:05:33.100 --> 04:05:41.100
LJ with reset no fake it and then first killer no booze. He can only play it into the corner get get the corner though and now

04:05:41.980 --> 04:05:44.700
What has to just go all the way back. I can't keep the ball

04:05:45.900 --> 04:05:47.900
They'll take the boost this time

04:05:49.020 --> 04:05:53.220
Boost has been tough to get for rebellion these past few games

04:05:54.460 --> 04:06:00.020
50 back to first killer heavy first touch 50 sends it back out into the middle where LJ is waiting in the air

04:06:00.460 --> 04:06:02.100
Air dribbling gets a bump

04:06:02.100 --> 04:06:07.020
Hard hit back towards first killer first killer will boom it back in Daniel no booze from the corner

04:06:07.340 --> 04:06:11.900
First killer good hit across the middle beast mode. We'll hit it back coffer with a bit of space

04:06:12.380 --> 04:06:16.060
Any solo play it pops it up. It's a pass over to LJ LJ

04:06:16.780 --> 04:06:21.860
Kofa back first killer first killer shot it right at the defender rebound back a coffer

04:06:21.860 --> 04:06:24.340
But coffer also had his angle shut down

04:06:24.340 --> 04:06:28.540
Oh, Tomic tried to go for the flip reset.

04:06:28.540 --> 04:06:30.700
Elgin is crashing it.

04:06:30.700 --> 04:06:31.700
Rebellion doing it.

04:06:31.700 --> 04:06:35.220
Whatever they can to keep NRG stuck in this half,

04:06:35.220 --> 04:06:36.220
it is not working.

04:06:36.220 --> 04:06:37.540
They're back in their own back half.

04:06:37.540 --> 04:06:39.660
Daniel strikes off target.

04:06:39.660 --> 04:06:42.780
Now Kofir, 50, doesn't necessarily win it strongly.

04:06:42.780 --> 04:06:45.220
The first killer bangs him back downfield,

04:06:45.220 --> 04:06:48.220
where Tomic taking it from his own back wall.

04:06:48.220 --> 04:06:50.700
Flip, gets beat.

04:06:50.700 --> 04:06:51.700
Oh, Daniel!

04:06:51.700 --> 04:06:54.100
Watch out, because Kofa almost dunked it into the net.

04:06:55.900 --> 04:06:56.500
Atomic.

04:06:56.900 --> 04:06:58.300
Kofa has no boost.

04:06:58.500 --> 04:07:01.100
This could be bad. Kofa does hit it, but it's a juicy rebound.

04:07:01.300 --> 04:07:03.300
Daniel and Atomic run into each other.

04:07:04.300 --> 04:07:06.900
First killer though, strong B-down field.

04:07:07.300 --> 04:07:08.300
Kofa late.

04:07:08.300 --> 04:07:09.700
This has to take the corner.

04:07:09.700 --> 04:07:11.300
Final 10, final five.

04:07:11.500 --> 04:07:12.700
LJ, in the air.

04:07:12.700 --> 04:07:14.100
Atomic gets the B-thome.

04:07:14.100 --> 04:07:15.500
Does NRG want to keep this up?

04:07:15.500 --> 04:07:16.000
Team up.

04:07:16.000 --> 04:07:16.700
It looks like it.

04:07:16.700 --> 04:07:17.700
Ooh!

04:07:17.700 --> 04:07:19.500
The ground. Over time here.

04:07:19.700 --> 04:07:21.100
In game four.

04:07:21.100 --> 04:07:25.500
If LJ wins, the series go off match point.

04:07:25.500 --> 04:07:29.100
Rebellion was clawed back there, but now have a chance to reset.

04:07:29.100 --> 04:07:30.460
LJ with a full tank.

04:07:30.460 --> 04:07:31.700
Turn on this one.

04:07:31.700 --> 04:07:32.620
Tries to boom it high.

04:07:32.620 --> 04:07:35.180
Atomic stops it at the midfield, but Daniel also jumped.

04:07:35.180 --> 04:07:37.420
Wasting boost and a bit of time into that ball.

04:07:37.420 --> 04:07:39.060
First killer on the catch.

04:07:39.060 --> 04:07:40.060
50 up to the side.

04:07:40.060 --> 04:07:41.100
LJ versus Daniel.

04:07:41.100 --> 04:07:43.460
Daniel will hit it past into the corner,

04:07:43.460 --> 04:07:45.380
but LJ with the boost deny.

04:07:45.380 --> 04:07:48.260
First killer back to the side while beast mode pinch.

04:07:48.260 --> 04:07:49.380
Follows it up.

04:07:49.380 --> 04:07:50.820
Little tip.

04:07:50.820 --> 04:07:53.820
Now Daniel is going to try to take an airborne, but he's demoed from Kofir.

04:07:55.120 --> 04:07:59.520
All the ball here, keeping this close. You see, LJ? No boom. Just wants to play the 50 out.

04:07:59.820 --> 04:08:01.020
Kofir here, close.

04:08:01.220 --> 04:08:04.520
Thought about leaving the boost for first kill. The first kill actually cut that play.

04:08:04.920 --> 04:08:09.420
Gave it back to Kofir. Kofir's double it, and now it's going to look too awkward. He had a bad first touch.

04:08:09.820 --> 04:08:13.420
Now, V's mode. Great first touch. Vam follows up a first killer.

04:08:13.420 --> 04:08:14.420
Could be a shot!

04:08:14.920 --> 04:08:15.420
Oh!

04:08:15.420 --> 04:08:22.380
High for Daniel. Now cleared. LJ got dunked by a tonic. NRG recognized, okay? Reminds rebellion

04:08:22.380 --> 04:08:26.140
that tough stuff, but rebellion hadn't had enough time to order the guy to boost you up.

04:08:26.140 --> 04:08:30.780
Surely they don't let this move, but Beast Mode tried to force the issue. LJ had to use all of

04:08:30.780 --> 04:08:34.860
his boosts. First kill it with a clear downfield enough, because Kofi can't even go. He's stuck

04:08:34.860 --> 04:08:39.900
in his own net as he tries, there gets a demo on Beast Mode to alleviate pressure for a moment

04:08:39.900 --> 04:08:43.900
until it gets back into his own half. NRG trying to boom this ball into an awkward

04:08:43.900 --> 04:08:50.460
There's a bump on LJ Beast mode tips it so we can get the corner boost the boost steel is on again

04:08:51.660 --> 04:08:57.900
Daniel pass off the corner atomic beats them at the midfield now first killers last back beast mode waiting for the pass

04:08:57.900 --> 04:08:59.900
But the pass a little bit too high

04:08:59.980 --> 04:09:03.340
Over trying to get a read but Daniel read it all the way through

04:09:03.900 --> 04:09:10.020
rebellion are using a lot of boost and it's not really yielding the results that they need then they get stuck on deep

04:09:10.020 --> 04:09:10.860
Demo!

04:09:10.860 --> 04:09:12.860
He's trying to strike, that shot off from Daniel.

04:09:12.860 --> 04:09:14.580
Atomic doesn't have to boost the follow.

04:09:14.580 --> 04:09:16.460
Beast mode, think about it, yeah, he's gonna cut here

04:09:16.460 --> 04:09:17.780
so Atomic can get the corner.

04:09:17.780 --> 04:09:19.020
Pinch all the way, Gale.

04:09:19.020 --> 04:09:20.660
Failed the first kill, he gets to cut off

04:09:20.660 --> 04:09:22.860
and call for with the demo, there's Beast mode now,

04:09:22.860 --> 04:09:24.020
sitting empty.

04:09:24.020 --> 04:09:25.940
Daniel will have to keep this in

04:09:25.940 --> 04:09:28.820
as NRG's still controlling the overtime

04:09:28.820 --> 04:09:31.660
and rebellion cannot generate any offense.

04:09:31.660 --> 04:09:34.500
Breach up from Beast mode, Beast mode.

04:09:34.500 --> 04:09:37.460
Fix it for Atomic and it goes out to the corner.

04:09:37.460 --> 04:09:39.060
Now that you got the corner,

04:09:39.060 --> 04:09:40.260
Atomic is going to have to go back.

04:09:40.260 --> 04:09:41.100
I think he picked up the mid.

04:09:41.100 --> 04:09:42.940
No, he still has to go back here.

04:09:42.940 --> 04:09:44.580
So Beast Mode will just have to keep it in.

04:09:44.580 --> 04:09:46.260
He's playing along for the tie being.

04:09:46.260 --> 04:09:47.100
Gets a pass.

04:09:47.100 --> 04:09:48.820
No, can't even get past first killer there.

04:09:48.820 --> 04:09:49.940
But look at their game.

04:09:49.940 --> 04:09:52.180
Every time he's on the ball, high ball.

04:09:52.180 --> 04:09:54.060
Again, they are saying, we're betting.

04:09:54.060 --> 04:09:56.700
We will let you use all of your boost

04:09:56.700 --> 04:09:58.300
until you have no left.

04:09:58.300 --> 04:09:59.980
And so this is an easy goal.

04:09:59.980 --> 04:10:01.260
Atomic got a demo on the other.

04:10:01.260 --> 04:10:02.580
And first killer lands back.

04:10:02.580 --> 04:10:04.780
Needed to make the touch, and he did.

04:10:04.780 --> 04:10:06.340
Beast Mode being a new sense.

04:10:06.340 --> 04:10:07.900
All still finds its way up to LJ.

04:10:07.900 --> 04:10:15.700
Finally gets a clear some breathing room for rebellion high boom atomic beats cofer first killer has the corner respond form

04:10:15.700 --> 04:10:20.580
And looks for LJ on the outlet beast mode intercepts beast mode fixed it through for atomic atomic

04:10:21.620 --> 04:10:24.580
By first killer who pinched the same off the post

04:10:25.060 --> 04:10:27.940
What a diving save from first killer?

04:10:28.420 --> 04:10:34.060
So impressive, but they're still not out the woods yet. LJ's alone. Gale coming in close. LJ

04:10:34.060 --> 04:10:38.760
This is so smart able to get the solo time track to get a pass wine and

04:10:39.020 --> 04:10:41.760
It's just able to give rebellion some room now

04:10:41.760 --> 04:10:45.820
They finally get out corporate's getting booked though and these won't might just give a bring this back in no

04:10:45.820 --> 04:10:47.320
There's the 50 on the play

04:10:47.320 --> 04:10:53.140
But still no one challenging the midfield why a rebellion taking this appliance from their own back half

04:10:54.260 --> 04:10:57.920
50 out first killer chip up Daniel a little bit awkward

04:10:57.920 --> 04:11:06.920
Beast mode off the bounce. Air dribble 50. Beast mode again. Got the reset. He's still chasing this ball. Trying to get a hand on it.

04:11:06.920 --> 04:11:13.920
And now Atomic. Can see him air dribbling. Atomic 50. Out to Beast mode. Beast mode. Can he cook?

04:11:13.920 --> 04:11:18.920
Beast mode off the bounce. Was looking for the ground pitch or something.

04:11:18.920 --> 04:11:25.920
Wanted to see if he could follow. Maybe trying to see if he could get a flip. Daniel, big win. First killer takes his time. Swarms around. Daniel.

04:11:25.920 --> 04:11:31.920
Atomic gets the cut. He's more than that boost here. His positioning is, well, like I like to say, a suggestion is

04:11:31.920 --> 04:11:37.920
LJ tries to see if he can throw off the defense there. Atomic does get a stand. Now we're starting to see some offense being generated from Rebellion.

04:11:37.920 --> 04:11:44.920
Can they keep this up? LJ pre-jumped. Oh, but it's blocked away. First killer is not going to turn the play it in. Went for the cut there.

04:11:44.920 --> 04:11:51.920
And that risky play could come to cost him. Atomic straight down, but Kofor able to deny. No, he doesn't deny.

04:11:51.920 --> 04:11:58.480
It denied only for a moment. He gets right back the beast mode who wants to keep this in for it. Oh, it's far back Daniel had to cut

04:11:59.720 --> 04:12:01.720
Daniel what's that through?

04:12:03.280 --> 04:12:07.960
NRG has been through a lot of long over times this weekend. Why not have another one? Oh

04:12:11.280 --> 04:12:16.720
He was upfield he ended up taking the corner boost from NRG the boost that just spawned he's sitting right next to it

04:12:16.720 --> 04:12:19.000
He's gonna take that again Daniel in an awkward spot

04:12:19.000 --> 04:12:23.080
But first killer, this is great timing on win the goalie knows his team has boost now

04:12:23.440 --> 04:12:25.840
So now they can play around things a little bit

04:12:25.840 --> 04:12:31.320
Hope for though getting zoned out by beast mode and atomic a beast mode both make sure hope it was not getting to that ball

04:12:32.120 --> 04:12:34.320
These mode the second touch

04:12:35.720 --> 04:12:38.720
All perfectly back to atomic not the best first touch

04:12:39.160 --> 04:12:44.800
Leaving atomic to scramble for this one still sets it up for Daniel who couldn't go for the double playing to the backboard

04:12:45.840 --> 04:12:47.840
These will try to line it up

04:12:47.840 --> 04:12:56.080
Kofur controlling it. Let's that one get away right to LJ. LJ, reset, shut down by

04:12:56.080 --> 04:13:01.680
Beast Mode first. Killer's gonna be a quick miss shot just off target. This is the

04:13:01.680 --> 04:13:05.200
most threatening rebellion's offense has looked so far especially in this OC.

04:13:05.200 --> 04:13:09.800
OC as Kofur kind of forced Dale to bring it to his own corner where

04:13:09.800 --> 04:13:14.880
Atomic is. Dale gonna take it play at 50. Atomic repositioning here as Beast Mode

04:13:14.880 --> 04:13:18.120
He loses that when Atomic needed to get a give-all.

04:13:18.120 --> 04:13:19.720
Now, he's going to jail low on booze.

04:13:19.720 --> 04:13:21.080
Atomic's going to need to pick up some.

04:13:21.080 --> 04:13:24.160
The correspondence just for Atomic as he responds.

04:13:24.160 --> 04:13:26.320
And Al J gets the cut.

04:13:26.320 --> 04:13:28.760
If you have anybody here, he tries to go for it himself,

04:13:28.760 --> 04:13:29.720
but he gets denied.

04:13:29.720 --> 04:13:31.200
And first killer will keep it in.

04:13:31.200 --> 04:13:32.800
Now we're starting to see consistent offense

04:13:32.800 --> 04:13:36.160
for Rebellion, but not too threatening for Lola.

04:13:36.160 --> 04:13:38.080
Give a little space to Atomic.

04:13:38.080 --> 04:13:40.040
No, he missed his chance.

04:13:40.040 --> 04:13:41.800
It looks like a mistake for Rebellion.

04:13:41.800 --> 04:13:44.200
They gave the ball away, right in a dangerous spot.

04:13:44.200 --> 04:13:47.720
Now Atomic with the challenge.

04:13:47.720 --> 04:13:51.960
It's a game-winning moment there for NRG shot just off.

04:13:51.960 --> 04:13:54.880
Rebellion, catch a break.

04:13:54.880 --> 04:13:56.160
Alhazard over to LJ.

04:13:56.160 --> 04:13:59.280
LJ back to Kofa, intercepted by Atomic.

04:13:59.280 --> 04:14:02.000
Great read from Atomic to see the extra pass.

04:14:02.000 --> 04:14:05.960
Kofa wants to get in Daniel's way, but Daniel hasn't read.

04:14:05.960 --> 04:14:08.400
First killer demo, spawns right towards the ball.

04:14:08.400 --> 04:14:10.320
So it's a little awkward here for Rebellion.

04:14:10.320 --> 04:14:12.920
As Kofa's clear, Wilson, NRG back.

04:14:12.920 --> 04:14:16.140
RG are bringing rebellion out of here looking for a counter on him.

04:14:16.140 --> 04:14:18.140
Kofors just got an extermination.

04:14:18.140 --> 04:14:19.140
Oh, whoa, guys!

04:14:19.140 --> 04:14:20.260
Oh, whoa, almost!

04:14:20.260 --> 04:14:22.500
Oh, I was gonna see almost trolled.

04:14:22.500 --> 04:14:24.540
But it ends up recovering your time.

04:14:24.540 --> 04:14:26.180
Seven minutes of overtime here.

04:14:26.180 --> 04:14:27.380
Oh, boy.

04:14:27.380 --> 04:14:29.900
Big starting to get a little bit sloppy.

04:14:29.900 --> 04:14:31.460
Edge of your seat action.

04:14:35.060 --> 04:14:39.020
We are speeding down the highway and wheels are wobbling.

04:14:39.020 --> 04:14:41.020
Oh, still so awkward.

04:14:41.020 --> 04:14:43.820
Atomic can only get a touch to keep it in.

04:14:43.820 --> 04:14:46.580
Bismo recognizes it, offs the pass.

04:14:46.580 --> 04:14:48.260
Daniel, great first touch.

04:14:48.260 --> 04:14:50.100
Daniel, great follow-up, quick and fast.

04:14:50.100 --> 04:14:52.820
Bismo had to get there, he was so low on boost,

04:14:52.820 --> 04:14:55.460
and he was on a boost for all of energy.

04:14:55.460 --> 04:14:56.940
Bismo does have some in the net,

04:14:56.940 --> 04:14:57.940
while he turns and goes,

04:14:57.940 --> 04:14:59.460
and he drops down a first killer,

04:14:59.460 --> 04:15:00.300
all of a sudden.

04:15:00.300 --> 04:15:01.640
Oh, he's got the boost.

04:15:01.640 --> 04:15:03.940
And now Daniel trying to turn things around.

04:15:05.460 --> 04:15:07.020
Rebound out in front.

04:15:07.020 --> 04:15:10.500
Atomic weak shot, it's gonna be easy.

04:15:10.500 --> 04:15:12.740
for Rebellion to control 50.

04:15:12.740 --> 04:15:15.140
First Killer and Kofor both go.

04:15:15.140 --> 04:15:17.440
First Killer gonna buy time, keeping it close.

04:15:18.460 --> 04:15:20.180
Okay, let's look for some bumps there on the play.

04:15:20.180 --> 04:15:22.020
Kofor is still on the board.

04:15:22.020 --> 04:15:23.060
That's a bad touch.

04:15:23.060 --> 04:15:24.260
That's followed, but he has to bring it

04:15:24.260 --> 04:15:27.140
to his own back wall, where First Killer has to clear.

04:15:27.140 --> 04:15:29.780
LJ has boost here, but only enough for a touch.

04:15:29.780 --> 04:15:31.260
First Killer off the ceiling.

04:15:31.260 --> 04:15:33.220
First Killer can give us a call for a vote.

04:15:33.220 --> 04:15:34.060
No, what?

04:15:34.060 --> 04:15:35.620
He flicked that one out the way,

04:15:35.620 --> 04:15:36.940
and that offense is dead.

04:15:36.940 --> 04:15:44.320
First killer, lots of boost, can do damage here, goes for the 50, and bounces off the

04:15:44.320 --> 04:15:45.320
ground enough.

04:15:45.320 --> 04:15:50.240
Beast mode has to go, saw Kofor lurk, Kofor didn't get the corner, LJ tried to get a

04:15:50.240 --> 04:15:52.640
center, first killer wasn't in position in time.

04:15:52.640 --> 04:15:56.840
So first killer keeps this into play, Beast mode got a little bump there by LJ, but

04:15:56.840 --> 04:15:58.360
still managed to recover even with zero.

04:15:58.360 --> 04:16:01.760
He's going to sit on the boost, wait for it to respawn, and try to get involved

04:16:01.760 --> 04:16:03.520
and make this easy for Atomic.

04:16:03.520 --> 04:16:11.080
NRG trying to get themselves out of this situation. It was super messy. But again as we approach the ninth minute here of OT

04:16:11.080 --> 04:16:13.080
It's still a pass game. Oh

04:16:13.960 --> 04:16:21.500
And the passing odys back to LJ. LJ! Denied by Atomic. Somehow NRG stay alive.

04:16:22.240 --> 04:16:25.260
All of these diving saves are cause for concern.

04:16:26.400 --> 04:16:28.980
Could B-Sport get a good cut here. No boost in the tank.

04:16:28.980 --> 04:16:32.700
First kill was looking for maybe a potential back pass.

04:16:32.700 --> 04:16:34.260
Colfer had to go get the mid boost.

04:16:34.260 --> 04:16:37.020
Look at Daniel, wide swing here.

04:16:37.020 --> 04:16:39.380
Wanted to get a lot of power until it was cut out.

04:16:39.380 --> 04:16:41.140
Oh, what a boost.

04:16:41.140 --> 04:16:42.140
Spawn for Atomic.

04:16:42.140 --> 04:16:44.140
Really, Daniel, looking for a buff on First Killer

04:16:44.140 --> 04:16:45.660
and First Killer before it gets demoed.

04:16:45.660 --> 04:16:48.340
What a touch there to get hit, Dave.

04:16:48.340 --> 04:16:50.140
Still awkward here for Rebellion.

04:16:50.140 --> 04:16:51.380
Get demoed.

04:16:51.380 --> 04:16:54.860
Daniel pops it up, looking for the follow.

04:16:54.860 --> 04:16:56.220
Can Atomic get to this in time?

04:16:56.220 --> 04:16:57.660
No, Colfer cuts it.

04:16:57.660 --> 04:16:59.100
But the corner boost is stolen.

04:16:59.100 --> 04:17:00.660
NRG starting to get there.

04:17:00.660 --> 04:17:01.900
But another big demo.

04:17:01.900 --> 04:17:04.260
This time, first killer taking out Beast Mode.

04:17:04.260 --> 04:17:05.620
Huge clear down the gut.

04:17:05.620 --> 04:17:06.660
Beast Mode.

04:17:06.660 --> 04:17:07.300
Taps it right.

04:17:07.300 --> 04:17:09.180
Two first killer, first killer.

04:17:09.180 --> 04:17:10.500
Going to go for the backboard hit.

04:17:10.500 --> 04:17:13.460
Double commit from NRG, but Atomic still recovers.

04:17:13.460 --> 04:17:17.060
And now, moving downfield, LJ.

04:17:17.060 --> 04:17:19.380
Stopped, but ball right back to go for LJ.

04:17:19.380 --> 04:17:22.100
Trying to land above does slow down to annual.

04:17:22.100 --> 04:17:24.980
10 minutes of overtime here at game four.

04:17:24.980 --> 04:17:27.620
Both teams showing their strikes, but not good enough.

04:17:27.620 --> 04:17:35.760
Daniel playing this close. Beast mode, good follow, but low boost here. Not about more

04:17:35.760 --> 04:17:39.740
for both, more physicality. Now Daniel taking this chance and LJ waited for him a

04:17:39.740 --> 04:17:44.540
little bit. Atomic great win on the 50. First killer, pinch out. First killer,

04:17:44.540 --> 04:17:48.700
another good touch. Beast mode, though. Therefore the intercept gonna play 50

04:17:48.700 --> 04:17:51.900
here with Colfer and if it's a race between Daniel and LJ and LJ wanted.

04:17:51.900 --> 04:17:55.860
First kill with a lot of boost here in the midfield and RG though might be

04:17:55.860 --> 04:17:58.080
He can put it in a tough spot.

04:17:58.080 --> 04:17:59.920
He's going to try for the ceiling pinch,

04:17:59.920 --> 04:18:01.720
but rebellion still makes any possession.

04:18:01.720 --> 04:18:03.880
That give all the leads up some space.

04:18:03.880 --> 04:18:07.360
The communicator from NRG letting Atomic get that ball.

04:18:07.360 --> 04:18:10.480
Atomic with the follow up, but still decent spot for Daniel.

04:18:10.480 --> 04:18:13.120
Daniel testing the corner first killer.

04:18:13.120 --> 04:18:14.560
Little bit awkward.

04:18:14.560 --> 04:18:16.880
Pass over to Daniel who grabbed the boost.

04:18:16.880 --> 04:18:19.080
Daniel is going to pinch it off the wall

04:18:19.080 --> 04:18:20.080
straight up off the ceiling.

04:18:20.080 --> 04:18:21.560
Atomic going for the double.

04:18:21.560 --> 04:18:23.720
Kofor will hit it back downfield.

04:18:23.720 --> 04:18:25.200
It goes for a 50 as well.

04:18:25.200 --> 04:18:26.960
And a good clear up from Kofir.

04:18:26.960 --> 04:18:28.760
Yeah, I mean, good read there is Kofir.

04:18:28.760 --> 04:18:31.120
Oh, that was the first killer now taking a shot on.

04:18:31.120 --> 04:18:33.960
That's his 10th shot of the game.

04:18:33.960 --> 04:18:36.120
And still nothing.

04:18:36.120 --> 04:18:37.760
But it's great defensive read.

04:18:37.760 --> 04:18:39.000
He still booked these teams.

04:18:39.000 --> 04:18:40.720
Yeah, you love, but is it fast enough?

04:18:40.720 --> 04:18:41.720
Light touch, Dan!

04:18:44.480 --> 04:18:47.880
NRG after a grueling overtime.

04:18:47.880 --> 04:18:49.800
Get the game win.

04:18:49.800 --> 04:18:52.560
And a big part of it is thanks to Beach Mode,

04:18:52.560 --> 04:18:56.320
Dustin Kulfer in that midfield play,

04:18:56.320 --> 04:18:59.880
and Daniel finding the angle on the shot.

04:18:59.880 --> 04:19:03.160
So much pressure on, goes for the light touch.

04:19:03.160 --> 04:19:05.400
Throwing the defense off.

04:19:05.400 --> 04:19:07.040
Wonderful composure.

04:19:07.040 --> 04:19:10.400
Look at the shot total for NRG Dazen.

04:19:10.400 --> 04:19:12.480
Are you seeing this number?

04:19:12.480 --> 04:19:15.320
Man, shot totals, demo totals.

04:19:15.320 --> 04:19:20.320
26 shots, 26 from NRG.

04:19:22.560 --> 04:19:28.960
Kofa at seven. Wait, how much? I thought it was the extermination. I saw Kofa with an

04:19:28.960 --> 04:19:36.800
extermination. First killer hit eight. Unreal game. I mean, we played. What did we just

04:19:36.800 --> 04:19:45.200
experience now that it's just happened? I will really impress the whole team. Like

04:19:45.200 --> 04:19:49.440
depending on who wins this year, you get to do well the rest of the tournament. That

04:19:49.440 --> 04:19:54.240
That is an exhausting amount of rock and we constantly having to be locked in there.

04:19:54.240 --> 04:19:55.440
Both teams were...

04:19:56.440 --> 04:20:00.440
NRG overrides the series, rebellion after that.

04:20:01.440 --> 04:20:02.440
Look at so many saves.

04:20:03.440 --> 04:20:05.440
First killer with that save off the post.

04:20:05.440 --> 04:20:10.440
Did Atomic also saved one off the post in that overtime as well?

04:20:12.440 --> 04:20:13.440
Goodness.

04:20:13.440 --> 04:20:16.440
If you've been watching NRG's run through this whole time as well,

04:20:16.440 --> 04:20:21.600
as well. They've had so many long over times this weekend. They've been preparing for that

04:20:21.600 --> 04:20:22.600
moment.

04:20:22.600 --> 04:20:25.040
Thanks, D-Wrek.

04:20:25.040 --> 04:20:28.360
Extermination seven, my bad. I always thought it was eight.

04:20:28.360 --> 04:20:29.360
All right, seven.

04:20:29.360 --> 04:20:32.520
Okay, it makes sense. Everything makes sense now.

04:20:32.520 --> 04:20:42.600
Rebellion, though. Need one quick. I mean, you go that long without scoring. And now

04:20:42.600 --> 04:20:43.600
you're down.

04:20:43.600 --> 04:20:45.600
everyone in the series.

04:20:45.600 --> 04:20:48.440
And now the time is finally counting down again.

04:20:48.440 --> 04:20:52.080
Yeah, it feels like it's been forever.

04:20:52.080 --> 04:20:55.720
We're in that OT so long.

04:20:55.720 --> 04:20:59.560
How can rebellion adjust at this point?

04:20:59.560 --> 04:21:02.200
How can they generate offense?

04:21:02.200 --> 04:21:06.800
NRG was in so much control to just keeping it on.

04:21:06.800 --> 04:21:09.280
Rebellion's half.

04:21:09.280 --> 04:21:10.440
Rebellion may be.

04:21:10.440 --> 04:21:11.720
LJ gets a read here.

04:21:11.720 --> 04:21:12.760
No.

04:21:12.760 --> 04:21:17.060
It's going to be atomic now since that ball high and Kofa another cut.

04:21:17.660 --> 04:21:22.060
I'm sure these teams now very familiar after so much extended gameplay,

04:21:22.360 --> 04:21:25.460
but something's going to have to give you. Wow.

04:21:25.660 --> 04:21:29.660
I mean, he's just got to go right into the next one. NRG,

04:21:30.060 --> 04:21:32.960
atomic the head fake. That's something NRG does so well.

04:21:33.360 --> 04:21:36.860
It's full head fakes, especially atomic. So good at it.

04:21:37.360 --> 04:21:40.160
Aiding those defenders to make them first move and beating them.

04:21:40.160 --> 04:21:59.680
Okay, so currently at the moment NRG is at 41 minutes and 59 seconds of overtime.

04:21:59.680 --> 04:22:07.600
It was a long and first killer though you needed one here able to work up the field

04:22:07.600 --> 04:22:11.880
thanks to pass from Cobra great catch great finish rebellion get there first

04:22:11.880 --> 04:22:16.920
really smart positioning from first killer as well positioning expecting

04:22:16.920 --> 04:22:21.600
that 50 to head out his way really great first touch the side flip as well

04:22:21.600 --> 04:22:26.480
to be able to get a good angle on the ball to take the shot

04:22:26.480 --> 04:22:28.480
Well played by first killer

04:22:30.600 --> 04:22:36.460
He's my old takes it off his back wall plays it past first killer tried to leave it to throw off cold for

04:22:37.080 --> 04:22:39.080
Cool for not falling for it

04:22:39.200 --> 04:22:41.200
keeping them honest

04:22:41.600 --> 04:22:46.420
Energy in their back half or we see them break out time to time again really good at

04:22:46.800 --> 04:22:48.960
Just reading what needs to be done

04:22:49.320 --> 04:22:55.320
Very efficient when they are on the ball time to pass a Daniel shot blocked out by first kill first killer

04:22:55.320 --> 04:22:57.320
Clogging that lane quickly

04:22:57.440 --> 04:22:59.640
Reading that passing play in our G

04:23:00.240 --> 04:23:03.120
They're so good at that but first killer saw it coming

04:23:03.720 --> 04:23:07.200
Atomic moving downfield he's already downfield steal and boost

04:23:08.240 --> 04:23:10.240
They're gonna steal the other quarter

04:23:11.240 --> 04:23:12.840
That's disaster

04:23:12.840 --> 04:23:18.360
You can see it happening. You can see the writing on the wall, but all on wow still is up until

04:23:18.360 --> 04:23:21.000
Oh, he gets the game a little late.

04:23:21.000 --> 04:23:21.960
Atomic's game with the play.

04:23:21.960 --> 04:23:24.200
Had B's run across, he got that other corner.

04:23:24.200 --> 04:23:25.040
Can he get it?

04:23:25.040 --> 04:23:26.040
Double commit, should be it.

04:23:26.040 --> 04:23:27.880
A big way fake, it's up again.

04:23:27.880 --> 04:23:29.680
Yes, it is!

04:23:29.680 --> 04:23:33.280
They strike again!

04:23:33.280 --> 04:23:34.600
They had no boost.

04:23:34.600 --> 04:23:35.600
The panic was there.

04:23:35.600 --> 04:23:36.520
You can see Atomic.

04:23:36.520 --> 04:23:38.040
We know that he didn't get the reset.

04:23:38.040 --> 04:23:39.560
No indicator there.

04:23:39.560 --> 04:23:41.240
But it happened to work out.

04:23:41.240 --> 04:23:42.800
Looked good as well.

04:23:42.800 --> 04:23:45.720
Looked good enough to throw off the defense.

04:23:45.720 --> 04:23:48.240
NRG probably should have scored a little bit sooner

04:23:48.240 --> 04:23:54.140
than that, but you can see how good they are at denying that boost and had that

04:23:54.140 --> 04:24:01.100
suffocating style. Yeah I mean you're right the suffocation was great, but not

04:24:01.100 --> 04:24:06.620
just that just the knowledge of we know you have no boost. Now that we know you

04:24:06.620 --> 04:24:10.220
have no boost, a topic where in a play where he may normally turn off turns

04:24:10.220 --> 04:24:14.380
in in a corner says I'm gonna brain this pass. Beast mode is like okay I'll go

04:24:14.380 --> 04:24:17.460
for a fake. We'll throw it off in the day. It'll just huffers under it for a

04:24:17.460 --> 04:24:26.460
shot like it's just great awareness of the situation understanding what they have to do to get past the defense and now rebellion have just been struggling ever since.

04:24:29.460 --> 04:24:32.460
See if rebellion can start fighting back here.

04:24:33.460 --> 04:24:37.460
We'll see an NRG space station grand final.

04:24:39.460 --> 04:24:40.460
Atomic up.

04:24:40.460 --> 04:24:43.460
Challenging that first killer has a boost.

04:24:43.460 --> 04:24:48.460
tried to take it down into a control dribble, but the heavy first touch didn't let him.

04:24:50.460 --> 04:24:51.460
Well, he didn't want to go there.

04:24:51.460 --> 04:24:52.460
Sad, he'll leave.

04:24:52.460 --> 04:24:55.460
Feel it, Kofir taking out LJ free ball.

04:24:56.460 --> 04:24:59.460
Kofir looking for Bup on Atomic. Got the bump, but no Atomic!

04:24:59.460 --> 04:25:03.460
He was pushed into the right direction by Kofir's guiding hands.

04:25:03.460 --> 04:25:04.460
First killer, wants a piece of it.

04:25:04.460 --> 04:25:05.460
Now Kofir...

04:25:05.460 --> 04:25:06.460
Got above two.

04:25:06.460 --> 04:25:07.460
All plays it by himself.

04:25:07.460 --> 04:25:08.460
Is this the right idea?

04:25:08.460 --> 04:25:10.460
Now Daniel's able to get boosted.

04:25:10.460 --> 04:25:15.460
Boost, the beast mode and Daniel would boost so much harder for ability to keep this offensive pace

04:25:15.460 --> 04:25:17.460
NRG trying to send it the other way

04:25:18.340 --> 04:25:22.580
Beast mode, follow up, LJ trying to push this forward quickly, Kofa

04:25:23.100 --> 04:25:28.700
Oh, you see a demo from first killer Kofa is fully boosted waiting for his chance to come in now in the corner

04:25:28.700 --> 04:25:32.020
There's a bump from LJ Kofa fighting through contact

04:25:32.380 --> 04:25:38.700
First killer now moving in first killer and feel pass no is gonna try to force it to himself rebound out to

04:25:38.700 --> 04:25:40.940
Kofru takes it up the side wall ceiling

04:25:41.940 --> 04:25:46.300
Didn't challenge though. Yeah, jump off the ceiling on that one. He's mobile

04:25:47.340 --> 04:25:50.820
Pinch I say what a question mark because it didn't really move like one

04:25:52.860 --> 04:25:57.620
50 from first killer and atomic will clear down. Oh, no, it's already 10 seconds

04:25:58.260 --> 04:26:00.580
Second left and regularly over time again

04:26:01.500 --> 04:26:04.500
I don't know to tell him to buckle up or to get a snack depending on how long

04:26:08.700 --> 04:26:15.300
I think you can do both order of operations get the snack and then buckle up there you go

04:26:16.020 --> 04:26:18.420
Unless no call for one at the end of the air

04:26:19.140 --> 04:26:23.540
Team start a ramp up in overtime must win here for rebellion in the bracket

04:26:23.540 --> 04:26:28.460
Otherwise and our G closed the series out move on a place base station in the grand finals

04:26:30.220 --> 04:26:35.980
Atomic up and out nice double off the corner of the ceiling as well atomic sees beast mode airport

04:26:35.980 --> 04:26:39.180
The pre-jump from big mode, save to the corner!

04:26:39.180 --> 04:26:41.420
Such a light pre-jump as well.

04:26:41.420 --> 04:26:43.740
Little awkward here for him to go in after Daniel's touch.

04:26:43.740 --> 04:26:46.380
Eastmo trying to keep it in here at no boost though.

04:26:46.380 --> 04:26:52.380
And Kofur, great individual work here getting into the corner,

04:26:52.380 --> 04:26:54.380
but LJ just went little too late.

04:26:54.380 --> 04:26:55.740
Double commit though outside.

04:26:55.740 --> 04:27:01.420
G Daniel though with the testing shot and routine save there from Kofur.

04:27:01.420 --> 04:27:04.380
Again, rebellion, they can't capitalize off the double commit.

04:27:04.380 --> 04:27:06.860
Maybe they can now, but they do it with a double commit of their own.

04:27:06.860 --> 04:27:09.980
First kill, slip reset to Kofa. No boost, will it help? No!

04:27:11.420 --> 04:27:13.740
Good save from Atomic, well positioned to keep that out.

04:27:13.740 --> 04:27:17.020
Daniel by one, backboard bounce, handled by First Killer.

04:27:17.020 --> 04:27:21.500
Gonna go for a big flick, throwing that all the way to the NRG corner.

04:27:22.300 --> 04:27:26.140
Gonna boost steal from Kofa as well. 50 from LJ keeps it in, beast mode.

04:27:26.780 --> 04:27:30.380
Light hit down field. Now NRG struggling to get boost themselves.

04:27:31.660 --> 04:27:33.420
First away from trying to wrap that around.

04:27:34.380 --> 04:27:38.380
You need someone to rebellion and make a play.

04:27:38.380 --> 04:27:40.020
You cannot afford a mistake here.

04:27:41.100 --> 04:27:44.060
Going straight down, first killer, gives it to Kofur.

04:27:46.060 --> 04:27:48.120
Kofur stays on it.

04:27:48.980 --> 04:27:50.980
It's a little bit away from of a sensitive cross.

04:27:50.980 --> 04:27:51.820
Is anyone there?

04:27:51.820 --> 04:27:52.820
No, it's just a free-for-day.

04:27:52.820 --> 04:27:54.780
At least don't freeze up to get past LJ

04:27:54.780 --> 04:27:56.180
and LJ was there to meet him.

04:27:56.180 --> 04:27:57.900
Atomic with the bouncing.

04:27:57.900 --> 04:28:00.580
Not enough to deter first killer.

04:28:00.580 --> 04:28:01.560
Rebellion will have to play

04:28:01.560 --> 04:28:03.900
from their own back wall again.

04:28:03.900 --> 04:28:07.180
Missed him like a touch! Going straight down!

04:28:07.180 --> 04:28:09.300
Kulfer! Able to clean it up.

04:28:10.200 --> 04:28:13.100
Rebellion getting bailed out. First killer almost giving that ball away.

04:28:13.100 --> 04:28:13.900
V-Smoad.

04:28:14.700 --> 04:28:18.100
Won't be able to get back to it. Bid went from first killer, Daniel Last.

04:28:19.500 --> 04:28:20.500
Nice 50 as well.

04:28:20.500 --> 04:28:21.500
LJ passing!

04:28:21.500 --> 04:28:23.700
V-Smoad! For the win!

04:28:24.700 --> 04:28:27.100
And we play more Rocket League!

04:28:27.400 --> 04:28:30.900
LJ had to be the faster player here in this moment.

04:28:30.900 --> 04:28:33.500
You saw V-Smoad tracking in a second later.

04:28:33.900 --> 04:28:41.900
No chance! And Rebellion Force Game 6! This battle continues on!

04:28:41.900 --> 04:28:50.900
Wow! Oh man! That was a sticky situation as well near the end for Rebellion,

04:28:50.900 --> 04:28:53.900
first killer that Miss Touch got bailed out by his teammates.

04:28:53.900 --> 04:29:01.900
Couple of heavy touches this game, not as good a first touch you'd expect from him,

04:29:01.900 --> 04:29:05.220
but still so many saves.

04:29:05.220 --> 04:29:08.020
Birstler's defense has been insane.

04:29:09.180 --> 04:29:11.740
You can see almost breaking 1,000 points this game.

04:29:12.740 --> 04:29:14.980
And RG had a chance to close out the series

04:29:14.980 --> 04:29:16.460
and they failed to do so.

04:29:16.460 --> 04:29:19.020
Thanks to that shot from LJ, great speed.

04:29:19.900 --> 04:29:22.180
And this has been a fun one, Daz.

04:29:22.180 --> 04:29:23.340
You think we're gonna go seven?

04:29:23.340 --> 04:29:25.140
Think we'll get to game seven?

04:29:25.140 --> 04:29:27.140
I want us to go to game seven.

04:29:27.140 --> 04:29:27.980
Wouldn't that be fun?

04:29:27.980 --> 04:29:30.820
It'd be a fun way to, listen,

04:29:30.820 --> 04:29:32.780
This match has been going on so long.

04:29:32.780 --> 04:29:33.780
I forgot there was another shoot.

04:29:33.780 --> 04:29:35.180
Yeah, this is not the grand final.

04:29:35.180 --> 04:29:37.180
This, you know, you're looking at your watch.

04:29:37.180 --> 04:29:38.180
You are!

04:29:38.180 --> 04:29:39.180
No, no, no!

04:29:39.180 --> 04:29:41.060
I was playing on the do.

04:29:41.060 --> 04:29:42.500
No, no, no, it's not.

04:29:42.500 --> 04:29:45.220
But, I mean, the way these two have been playing,

04:29:45.220 --> 04:29:47.100
if you're a fan of North American rock,

04:29:47.100 --> 04:29:48.740
I think you want to see this go the distance.

04:29:48.740 --> 04:29:50.660
You want to see rebellion show that, OK, we have some fight.

04:29:50.660 --> 04:29:52.140
We can push NRG to the brink.

04:29:52.140 --> 04:29:53.740
No timeouts needed here.

04:29:53.740 --> 04:29:56.060
And we can even play in these long, serious,

04:29:56.060 --> 04:29:57.820
and still be competitive.

04:29:57.820 --> 04:29:59.420
On the other side of your NRG phase,

04:29:59.420 --> 04:30:01.960
is what it's the over with, but we'll have to see.

04:30:01.960 --> 04:30:03.900
I mean, Nio Tokyo, the stage, you know,

04:30:03.900 --> 04:30:06.960
this is one of the players favorite maps in the game.

04:30:07.960 --> 04:30:09.300
My favorite map of the game.

04:30:09.300 --> 04:30:11.840
Yeah, I think if you gave all the players a poll,

04:30:11.840 --> 04:30:13.940
they would put this one, you know, they love champions field,

04:30:13.940 --> 04:30:16.200
but I think they will put this one as one of the favorites.

04:30:16.200 --> 04:30:18.340
It's because we're street ballers.

04:30:19.500 --> 04:30:21.680
Love Settling things on the asphalt.

04:30:22.980 --> 04:30:25.880
Gopher, up by Beast Mode.

04:30:25.880 --> 04:30:33.880
Air dribble from B-Smo. Goes for a bump as well. Lance, the bump, you know, last back has to be careful.

04:30:35.880 --> 04:30:36.880
Atomic.

04:30:37.880 --> 04:30:40.880
Staying on this one. You see Atomic. Yeah, you're right. He's like tracking first killer down.

04:30:41.880 --> 04:30:42.880
First killer.

04:30:43.880 --> 04:30:47.880
And both still keep up their position. First kill after this. Once the B on Atomic does find it off the back wall.

04:30:47.880 --> 04:30:53.880
LG hesitates though. And B-Smo, who had low boost, was able to get there first.

04:30:53.880 --> 04:30:58.320
It was just a matter of not, he didn't want to really get a bump on Beast Mode as he was getting back.

04:30:58.320 --> 04:31:05.280
Meanwhile, First Killer put a flip reset force on Atomic out, and Rebellion with some extended pressure, Kofur.

04:31:05.280 --> 04:31:15.800
Maybe a double? No, Deio denies. First Killer on top of it, gets a good touch, LJ speed, LJ again scores! Rebellion in front of Game 6!

04:31:15.800 --> 04:31:23.600
Rebellion flipping the script on NRG, keeping them who starved, and then that First Killer pass the perfect distance.

04:31:23.600 --> 04:31:28.040
coming out in front of the box you want to get that ball out when you have a

04:31:28.040 --> 04:31:31.840
defender low boost in net you don't want it to go straight down you want it to

04:31:31.840 --> 04:31:37.520
come out and now off kickoff and our key will settle the score I was looking away

04:31:37.520 --> 04:31:43.200
for a brief moment and in that brief moment on kickoff we see a goal you

04:31:43.200 --> 04:31:48.440
have a double boost kickoff this way I don't think that should go in I kept

04:31:48.440 --> 04:31:53.560
watching it like surely someone's going to get back in time. No quick. Oh wow.

04:31:55.720 --> 04:32:00.400
It's got a stealer rebellion. Yeah, maybe they can get something back here quickly.

04:32:00.400 --> 04:32:03.840
But all that work, you have to early pressure something that you haven't

04:32:03.840 --> 04:32:09.120
normally had this series and it's just instantly gone off that kickoff goal.

04:32:11.120 --> 04:32:15.480
Daniel is yelling. Looks like he got a reset. Couldn't do much with it.

04:32:16.160 --> 04:32:17.720
Atomic waiting for his chance.

04:32:18.440 --> 04:32:24.880
Atomic just off-target Kofor will hit it up the gun open that LJ will say thank you very much

04:32:26.920 --> 04:32:31.360
LJ okay a little bit of a tap every just you gotta be in the right place at the right time

04:32:31.360 --> 04:32:36.900
He was took his time knew he had to open looking caught in our G2 far forward

04:32:37.000 --> 04:32:40.280
Two for two LJ scored the last three goals from rebellion

04:32:41.160 --> 04:32:44.100
Including their OT win to get him here

04:32:44.100 --> 04:32:50.080
LJ if he can continue to put on some really tough shots and score really tough shots I mean

04:32:51.280 --> 04:32:53.480
Rebellion we definitely will definitely go second

04:32:54.960 --> 04:32:56.800
He's had a great split

04:32:56.800 --> 04:33:02.640
You've been paying attention to the top plays as well. LJ has been postard all over him. Yes

04:33:04.320 --> 04:33:09.320
No, no denying that LJ when he's in form when he has a chance on the ball

04:33:09.320 --> 04:33:13.980
He can really make magic happen, but so can Daniel blocked out my first killer

04:33:14.800 --> 04:33:17.840
Daniel shot he was looking for the top left corner

04:33:18.560 --> 04:33:24.040
Rebellion denied and rebellion scrambling a bit LGD along with boost here, and we'll get it to Kofa can't double it

04:33:24.200 --> 04:33:25.860
Daniel takes it

04:33:25.860 --> 04:33:28.720
NRG trying to swarm B smoke waiting man as the topic works

04:33:28.720 --> 04:33:34.640
But gets back to first killer atomic though great cut to keep it in B's will puts it on net and Kofa

04:33:34.640 --> 04:33:41.160
goal line saved not out the woods yet either energy still looking for more now first killer

04:33:41.160 --> 04:33:45.640
bumped off the ball as well atomic will get the corner steal and we'll chip it over

04:33:45.640 --> 04:33:52.080
go for have to go for the boost instead of all rebound out in front of that lj turns

04:33:52.080 --> 04:34:00.080
the right call cofer with a big pinch well that'll get him some space free ball no

04:34:00.080 --> 04:34:08.120
for atomic. Kofre had to pre-jump that one and well done. For rebellion it looked so scary

04:34:08.120 --> 04:34:12.040
whenever NRG hit him low on boost in their own half, they're able to make and deal with

04:34:12.040 --> 04:34:20.280
all of the beast mode all along. Beast mode did a great job buying time for the respawn

04:34:20.280 --> 04:34:24.400
off the demos and atomic was in.

04:34:24.400 --> 04:34:29.640
weak shot. Beast mode back to his own corner. First killer looking for a bump

04:34:29.640 --> 04:34:34.560
didn't land it. Beast mode somehow gets out of there puts a shot on target and Atomic

04:34:34.560 --> 04:34:41.080
the enforcer knocks the defense out of the way. Atomic turned off ball came as soon as

04:34:41.080 --> 04:34:45.120
he saw Beast mode on it and just tracked Kofa waited for him to jump and then

04:34:45.120 --> 04:34:48.600
dodged him to him to throw him out the play, setting up a perfect lane for the

04:34:48.600 --> 04:34:58.640
And that was great work from Beast Mode as well to be able to dodge the bumps, find that mid-boost

04:34:58.640 --> 04:35:01.560
and even bring that ball down field.

04:35:01.560 --> 04:35:07.120
We are on route for potentially another overtime between these two as we approach the final

04:35:07.120 --> 04:35:08.120
minute.

04:35:08.120 --> 04:35:13.120
LJ, waiting on the right wall, will meet Beast Mode on the ball, gets another beat.

04:35:13.120 --> 04:35:14.120
Call for pre-jump.

04:35:14.120 --> 04:35:15.120
Almost on!

04:35:15.120 --> 04:35:17.680
First killer, fake child! He didn't know Beast Mode didn't have boosts!

04:35:17.680 --> 04:35:21.100
As Beast Mode played the 50, no extended pressure here for Rebellion.

04:35:21.100 --> 04:35:25.880
First killer, he's going to take corner boosts while Dan tries to keep this alive in NRG,

04:35:25.880 --> 04:35:29.840
which we're in a close spot. Now, get a bit of breathing room.

04:35:31.120 --> 04:35:34.480
Beast Mode to the corner. Daniel was there.

04:35:34.480 --> 04:35:37.280
Hit back to atomic. Atomic highball trying to make it awkward.

04:35:37.280 --> 04:35:40.720
LJ missed the lead. This one going up off the ceiling as well.

04:35:40.720 --> 04:35:43.720
Beast Mode, can he get the double? Denied by Kofir.

04:35:43.720 --> 04:35:48.560
And are you trying to end it here? They're looking threatening on offense these mo

04:35:48.560 --> 04:35:52.680
I thought he's gonna fake it for atomic often to try to see if you can door pass in the time

04:35:52.680 --> 04:35:58.660
We have to dodge Colford. So first killer will pick up the ball first killer has called for me first killer trying to get it

04:35:58.660 --> 04:36:04.080
They're for Daniel against the kite LJ goes here is third first killer on the way back has to turn and cut this

04:36:04.080 --> 04:36:10.240
Beesmo preach up these moments there in time Colford just again dodging Daniel plays it around them

04:36:13.720 --> 04:36:16.280
It's Flurs, it scores!

04:36:16.280 --> 04:36:18.000
Beast Mode was in an awkward spot.

04:36:18.000 --> 04:36:21.460
He jumped down to the ground and was not expecting Kofur

04:36:21.460 --> 04:36:23.400
to go for goal.

04:36:23.400 --> 04:36:24.600
Got out of position.

04:36:24.600 --> 04:36:29.200
Kofur spotted it and just took the shot.

04:36:29.200 --> 04:36:32.120
That first touch, though, for Kofur to get the ball.

04:36:32.120 --> 04:36:35.200
Like, perfect roll after him to get control.

04:36:35.200 --> 04:36:35.800
Beautiful.

04:36:35.800 --> 04:36:37.160
12 seconds, though.

04:36:37.160 --> 04:36:39.360
NRG, going to sit in the house here.

04:36:39.360 --> 04:36:41.600
Beast Mode up, LJ gets a beat on him.

04:36:41.600 --> 04:36:42.600
Kofur playing close.

04:36:42.600 --> 04:36:45.680
LJ and Kulfer will go first killer last back.

04:36:45.680 --> 04:36:46.840
Oh, we gotta keep it off the ball.

04:36:46.840 --> 04:36:48.000
Oh, they're off work.

04:36:48.000 --> 04:36:49.240
They have to keep it up.

04:36:49.240 --> 04:36:50.080
Can they?

04:36:50.080 --> 04:36:51.560
LJ wants to get the clearance.

04:36:51.560 --> 04:36:53.360
NRG don't have booze.

04:36:53.360 --> 04:36:58.860
Kulfer will score, and we're going to the Champions field.

04:36:58.860 --> 04:37:00.520
Wavebook wanted it.

04:37:00.520 --> 04:37:03.160
I'm sure many of the Rock-A-League fans did as well.

04:37:03.160 --> 04:37:05.520
And now you get it.

04:37:05.520 --> 04:37:10.640
NRG and Rebellion going the distance.

04:37:10.640 --> 04:37:13.400
And I didn't think we'd get here.

04:37:13.400 --> 04:37:15.480
NRG looked like they were in form,

04:37:15.480 --> 04:37:17.680
Rebellion starting to look a little bit flat,

04:37:17.680 --> 04:37:20.160
being boosted up, making some mistakes,

04:37:20.160 --> 04:37:22.280
but they have amped it up.

04:37:24.720 --> 04:37:28.440
And these two teams are delivering here,

04:37:28.440 --> 04:37:32.000
making plays when you need to, scoring tough shots,

04:37:32.000 --> 04:37:35.360
putting in the extra effort to make the possible play.

04:37:36.520 --> 04:37:38.680
It's a beauty, it's a beauty.

04:37:38.680 --> 04:37:43.680
And it comes down to this series tied.

04:37:43.680 --> 04:37:45.960
And what do you know?

04:37:45.960 --> 04:37:49.240
NRG have taken a timeout.

04:37:49.240 --> 04:37:53.840
They had a timeout going into this final game.

04:37:53.840 --> 04:37:55.600
You know, NRG, I joke around, but I

04:37:55.600 --> 04:37:59.000
say Champions Field is home turf advantage to NRG.

04:37:59.000 --> 04:38:02.200
They got their names hanging from the Raptors.

04:38:02.200 --> 04:38:04.640
But Rebellion has all the momentum

04:38:04.640 --> 04:38:07.320
going into this game seven-desk.

04:38:07.320 --> 04:38:09.440
And I mean, there was some fight from NRG in this one.

04:38:09.440 --> 04:38:11.800
That was a great chase play.

04:38:11.800 --> 04:38:13.800
Beast Mode able to dodge those bumps,

04:38:13.800 --> 04:38:16.760
able to rely on that bump from Atomic to get the goal.

04:38:16.760 --> 04:38:18.960
But then that last play, Beast Mode,

04:38:18.960 --> 04:38:20.080
he was on the back wall.

04:38:20.080 --> 04:38:21.400
He stays back wall.

04:38:21.400 --> 04:38:23.480
That shot from Kofor is not going in.

04:38:23.480 --> 04:38:24.880
It was a weak shot.

04:38:24.880 --> 04:38:26.360
It was a light shot.

04:38:26.360 --> 04:38:28.200
But Kofor just spotted that Beast Mode

04:38:28.200 --> 04:38:29.800
had jumped down to the ground near post,

04:38:29.800 --> 04:38:30.520
out of position.

04:38:30.520 --> 04:38:31.760
That was vulnerable.

04:38:31.760 --> 04:38:33.680
And that is a big time play.

04:38:33.680 --> 04:38:36.840
It's not the flashiest goal from Kofor.

04:38:36.840 --> 04:38:40.040
But that was an impact play.

04:38:41.720 --> 04:38:44.720
I don't cover making those impact plays too.

04:38:44.720 --> 04:38:49.120
I mean, it's what's necessary to push rebellion further.

04:38:49.120 --> 04:38:52.520
Now NRG, again, this is the same time as last time

04:38:52.520 --> 04:38:53.360
they took a timeout.

04:38:53.360 --> 04:38:55.560
No words being spoken here on the timeout.

04:38:56.880 --> 04:38:58.480
Team, they understand what they need to do

04:38:58.480 --> 04:39:00.840
and they look locked in and ready.

04:39:00.840 --> 04:39:02.880
We're less than a minute to go here from game seven

04:39:02.880 --> 04:39:05.800
on Champions field between Shopify Rebellion

04:39:05.800 --> 04:39:07.720
and NRG eSports.

04:39:07.720 --> 04:39:11.360
The way this series has gone, this is anybody's game.

04:39:12.800 --> 04:39:16.280
And, you know, long overtime's no stranger

04:39:16.280 --> 04:39:18.800
to this crew of three players on NRG,

04:39:18.800 --> 04:39:21.800
the longest best of seven in history.

04:39:21.800 --> 04:39:26.400
G2 versus Furia, that was 51 minutes and 39 seconds.

04:39:26.400 --> 04:39:28.520
We might beat that here.

04:39:28.520 --> 04:39:31.040
NRG also holding the record

04:39:31.040 --> 04:39:33.240
for the longest best of five over time.

04:39:33.240 --> 04:39:34.400
Unfortunately for them,

04:39:34.400 --> 04:39:37.200
They lost that game that happened this weekend against foot.

04:39:40.280 --> 04:39:42.260
Who's gonna make the play?

04:39:42.260 --> 04:39:44.400
Who's gonna push their team forward?

04:39:44.400 --> 04:39:47.360
Game seven between NRG and Rebellion,

04:39:47.360 --> 04:39:49.160
starting now, Atomic with the opener.

04:39:49.160 --> 04:39:51.400
Look how fast LG was there to read it, though.

04:39:51.400 --> 04:39:53.520
Just such a great cut there.

04:39:53.520 --> 04:39:54.960
They're trying to make sure

04:39:54.960 --> 04:39:57.040
they don't get NRG pressure early.

04:39:58.400 --> 04:40:00.040
And it does work out.

04:40:00.040 --> 04:40:02.120
Good clearance there for first killer.

04:40:02.120 --> 04:40:03.320
As he goes off the ceiling,

04:40:03.320 --> 04:40:04.280
trying to predict Daniel.

04:40:04.280 --> 04:40:06.400
I kind of got a dunk.

04:40:06.400 --> 04:40:08.960
Rebellion coming out of the timeout.

04:40:08.960 --> 04:40:11.200
It's just, they're just so fast here, James.

04:40:11.200 --> 04:40:12.680
Elger, put that one on target.

04:40:12.680 --> 04:40:14.040
Atomic with the stop.

04:40:14.040 --> 04:40:15.080
Some huge plays.

04:40:15.080 --> 04:40:16.800
First killer getting a hand on that ball.

04:40:16.800 --> 04:40:18.640
Elger getting back to it as well.

04:40:20.280 --> 04:40:21.720
Shot by Rebellion looking strong,

04:40:21.720 --> 04:40:22.960
but Atomic with some space.

04:40:22.960 --> 04:40:25.280
Beastwood also helping, rims a shot,

04:40:25.280 --> 04:40:28.880
but Elger, he's tall enough to get the block.

04:40:28.880 --> 04:40:31.720
Elger's been so impactful here.

04:40:31.720 --> 04:40:33.080
Kofa went up and Elger had it clear.

04:40:33.080 --> 04:40:37.120
the first killer. Kofi can go again now. They'll have much more room here as he meets Daniel

04:40:37.120 --> 04:40:42.400
on the side wall. But LJ, being as fast as he has, has been impactful so far in his first

04:40:42.400 --> 04:40:47.640
game, first killer. 50 versus Atomic as the ball goes into the corner. And LJ with a high

04:40:47.640 --> 04:40:53.880
pop force of Beast Mode to use some boost. Beast Mode with a 50, Daniel, 50 by Kofi.

04:40:53.880 --> 04:40:58.360
Hope to the side. Atomic, the demoed by LJ. This gives first killer a free ball,

04:40:58.360 --> 04:40:59.520
It's an airborne.

04:40:59.520 --> 04:41:01.200
It's bumped off the ball.

04:41:01.200 --> 04:41:04.480
And Atomic will boom it downfield.

04:41:04.480 --> 04:41:05.600
Met my co-fair.

04:41:05.600 --> 04:41:07.440
Co-fair looking for LJ here.

04:41:07.440 --> 04:41:08.360
The first touch.

04:41:08.360 --> 04:41:09.360
What is he doing with it?

04:41:09.360 --> 04:41:10.480
Looking for the double.

04:41:10.480 --> 04:41:11.880
Double straight down.

04:41:11.880 --> 04:41:14.120
And it was just slow enough that NRG

04:41:14.120 --> 04:41:16.560
was able to get there before Co-fair first killer shot.

04:41:16.560 --> 04:41:17.060
No!

04:41:17.060 --> 04:41:18.320
No, it's not on.

04:41:18.320 --> 04:41:21.840
And Atomic able to get back before Rebellion could score.

04:41:21.840 --> 04:41:23.640
Daniel was bumped off the line.

04:41:23.640 --> 04:41:25.480
Now Daniel going for a 50 piece mode.

04:41:25.480 --> 04:41:26.600
Corner boost denied.

04:41:26.600 --> 04:41:30.120
trying to pinch this ball up to solo it, but that shut down.

04:41:30.120 --> 04:41:33.080
Towards the back port, LJ jumped from the backwards position,

04:41:33.080 --> 04:41:37.480
gets a reset, and gets an extra touch by.

04:41:37.480 --> 04:41:41.400
The wall-on boost will be rotating out slow.

04:41:41.400 --> 04:41:44.440
This is such a key factor here, too, at this level of play.

04:41:44.440 --> 04:41:46.880
We've seen time and time for Rebellion.

04:41:46.880 --> 04:41:50.480
It's so hard for them to generate anything once NRG

04:41:50.480 --> 04:41:52.800
take them out to play again and then start stealing

04:41:52.800 --> 04:41:53.480
their boosts.

04:41:53.480 --> 04:41:54.400
Oh, that's a drop down.

04:41:54.400 --> 04:41:57.360
Kofa missed it, NRG was not expecting that.

04:41:57.360 --> 04:41:59.160
Beast Mode's up for this, man.

04:41:59.160 --> 04:42:00.840
Just to play it to the side, and now we're here to go.

04:42:00.840 --> 04:42:03.440
Rebellion, all low on boost, they need something here.

04:42:03.440 --> 04:42:05.760
Kofa went downfield to steal some,

04:42:05.760 --> 04:42:07.600
and again, does get back in time.

04:42:07.600 --> 04:42:10.040
Beast Mode stole that corner, parked right on it.

04:42:10.040 --> 04:42:13.360
Beast Mode tip up off the ceiling, atomic the race.

04:42:13.360 --> 04:42:14.720
Blocks it over to the opposite corner,

04:42:14.720 --> 04:42:16.440
will it spawn for LJ?

04:42:16.440 --> 04:42:20.800
Atomic couldn't get it before having to rotate out,

04:42:20.800 --> 04:42:22.960
but still ready to pounce.

04:42:22.960 --> 04:42:24.960
LJ gets the corner boost spawn.

04:42:24.960 --> 04:42:26.960
Gopher helping out.

04:42:26.960 --> 04:42:29.960
Atomic high-pop for a teammate, but LJ there first.

04:42:29.960 --> 04:42:31.960
LJ also dodges the bump.

04:42:31.960 --> 04:42:33.960
Goes for the extra pop, but B-Soul is floating double commit, though,

04:42:33.960 --> 04:42:36.960
from NRG forcing Daniel to hit the panic hit.

04:42:36.960 --> 04:42:38.960
Yeah, and first killer was lurking, but he didn't have boost.

04:42:38.960 --> 04:42:39.960
Wait, is that the LJ?

04:42:39.960 --> 04:42:41.960
Oh, no, blocked. I'll buy Atomic.

04:42:41.960 --> 04:42:44.960
Ball bounce out first killer, B from Atomic again.

04:42:44.960 --> 04:42:46.960
Atomic creating space.

04:42:46.960 --> 04:42:49.960
Atomic trying to set things up for Dan, but Dan gets there too late.

04:42:49.960 --> 04:42:51.960
Now it's LJ looking for first killer.

04:42:51.960 --> 04:42:55.360
first killer atomic reason it cuts it out of Tom it's just all over the field right now

04:42:55.760 --> 04:43:00.980
Chasing that ball down and gets the demo infield pass atomic trying to get one on it as well

04:43:02.080 --> 04:43:05.640
There's a demo from first killer 50 from Daniel high-pop first killer

04:43:06.240 --> 04:43:08.680
He's trying to get to this ball with nothing

04:43:09.520 --> 04:43:11.780
Couldn't get it Daniel moves in 11 boost

04:43:12.600 --> 04:43:17.520
And you can feel it a little bit from the off ball plays atomic and first killer just both trying to make

04:43:17.520 --> 04:43:21.360
impactful moves and whether they're on or off ball they meet there for the 50.

04:43:21.360 --> 04:43:25.360
Dan with the shot, Dan with the goal and RG in front.

04:43:25.360 --> 04:43:32.480
Daniel the shooter makes the most of this chance at time it gets a piece of that ball

04:43:32.480 --> 04:43:37.120
it bounces off the corner perfectly. Daniel didn't have much boost but saw he

04:43:37.120 --> 04:43:40.640
only had to be one defender.

04:43:40.640 --> 04:43:46.000
Minute 20 to go here. Rebellion. Five shots to their name.

04:43:46.000 --> 04:43:48.000
Need to make magic happen.

04:43:48.000 --> 04:43:50.000
Colfer, get the flip reset.

04:43:50.000 --> 04:43:52.000
Atomic there, first killer, trying to meet him.

04:43:52.000 --> 04:43:54.000
Hit the win! Can he get his mid?

04:43:54.000 --> 04:43:56.000
No deal, able to cover it.

04:43:56.000 --> 04:43:58.000
Rebellion, the first killer's diving!

04:43:58.000 --> 04:43:59.000
Drop down, but it's not enough!

04:43:59.000 --> 04:44:01.000
Colfer crashes, but he's too late.

04:44:01.000 --> 04:44:03.000
Beastmull gets this one into the corner.

04:44:03.000 --> 04:44:04.000
Pass to LJ.

04:44:04.000 --> 04:44:06.000
LJ, high ball.

04:44:06.000 --> 04:44:08.000
Beastmull raises, it's awkward.

04:44:08.000 --> 04:44:10.000
First killer didn't expect the ball to go there.

04:44:10.000 --> 04:44:12.000
He's low on boost. LJ knows he's going to cut.

04:44:12.000 --> 04:44:14.000
Is he going to do something?

04:44:14.000 --> 04:44:17.240
Again, and Daniel will pick up another.

04:44:17.240 --> 04:44:21.120
Wow, Daniel had three boos, picked up a small pad,

04:44:21.120 --> 04:44:26.120
just stayed behind it, put it towards net with a prayer,

04:44:27.200 --> 04:44:30.160
and the prayer was answered in RG,

04:44:30.160 --> 04:44:32.600
and insurance go late.

04:44:32.600 --> 04:44:35.160
Oh, the miscommunication there.

04:44:35.160 --> 04:44:38.200
LJ didn't know if he should go or first killer should go,

04:44:38.200 --> 04:44:40.520
but that's how they made a decision, it was too late.

04:44:40.520 --> 04:44:42.160
LJ tried to clean it up,

04:44:42.160 --> 04:44:47.440
But again, it just was unfortunate there.

04:44:47.440 --> 04:44:48.760
And what an error.

04:44:48.760 --> 04:44:51.120
I don't know if a value can pick up to this late in the game.

04:44:51.120 --> 04:44:51.800
They'll try.

04:44:51.800 --> 04:44:53.280
LJ shot Atomic.

04:44:53.280 --> 04:44:55.000
Get the center forward to do.

04:44:55.000 --> 04:44:56.040
Looking for the double.

04:44:56.040 --> 04:44:57.040
Can't get it.

04:44:57.040 --> 04:44:58.760
Ball high straight down.

04:44:58.760 --> 04:45:01.720
And LJ will try to keep this in 20 seconds.

04:45:01.720 --> 04:45:03.120
And all that with this clearance,

04:45:03.120 --> 04:45:05.760
if they can't get it back in, if LJ can't score there,

04:45:05.760 --> 04:45:08.280
no, it's looking like it might be all over.

04:45:08.280 --> 04:45:10.480
Atomic has been a beast this game.

04:45:10.480 --> 04:45:15.040
So many clutch saves from Atomic.

04:45:15.040 --> 04:45:17.480
Time taken away.

04:45:17.480 --> 04:45:21.320
It was a valiant comeback from Rebellion.

04:45:21.320 --> 04:45:22.840
And hold on.

04:45:22.840 --> 04:45:26.040
One second left on the clock.

04:45:26.040 --> 04:45:27.480
It's possible.

04:45:27.480 --> 04:45:28.560
It's possible.

04:45:28.560 --> 04:45:32.040
But man, to do this, there would

04:45:32.040 --> 04:45:32.880
be some exception.

04:45:32.880 --> 04:45:35.400
You've got to bring out your best kickoff strat.

04:45:35.400 --> 04:45:38.240
Let's leave the kickoff.

04:45:38.240 --> 04:45:40.440
You've got to get a pop here first, Kelly.

04:45:40.440 --> 04:45:41.400
He got it.

04:45:41.400 --> 04:45:42.200
LJ gets it.

04:45:42.200 --> 04:45:43.400
Kofa gets the mid boost.

04:45:43.400 --> 04:45:43.900
No way.

04:45:43.900 --> 04:45:44.920
You can play it to him.

04:45:44.920 --> 04:45:45.960
Kofa has to turn.

04:45:45.960 --> 04:45:46.960
He can keep it up.

04:45:46.960 --> 04:45:48.040
Kofa does keep it up.

04:45:48.040 --> 04:45:50.040
A little heavy touch, but he can follow it.

04:45:50.040 --> 04:45:51.880
Pass mid to LJ, cut out.

04:45:51.880 --> 04:45:53.640
And that's going to do it.

04:45:53.640 --> 04:45:58.480
NRG move on to the grand finals.

04:45:58.480 --> 04:46:02.400
Shopify rebellion were surging, but NRG

04:46:02.400 --> 04:46:04.760
were able to batten down the hatches.

04:46:04.760 --> 04:46:08.240
And whether the storm, they get the job done

04:46:08.240 --> 04:46:21.600
on champions field and what a ride that was that was unbelievable that overtime was everything I mean

04:46:21.600 --> 04:46:28.000
this this is exactly what you hope for as a as a fan you want to see series like this

04:46:28.000 --> 04:46:34.400
edge of your seat action the whole way yeah I mean both teams is duking it out uh just

04:46:34.400 --> 04:46:39.600
was given everything that the guy even coming down to the last second in game seven where

04:46:39.600 --> 04:46:42.200
rebellion still tried to make a play possible.

04:46:42.200 --> 04:46:47.660
Unfortunate though for rebellion again that mistake that was made from the between first

04:46:47.660 --> 04:46:52.760
killer and LJ was a rough one but rebellion still looking good for him to be able to

04:46:52.760 --> 04:46:54.260
push NRG this far.

04:46:54.260 --> 04:46:56.760
Grand finals coming up next.

04:46:56.760 --> 04:46:59.560
Don't go anywhere.

04:46:59.560 --> 04:47:02.560
Okay, the Palmer's fixing that burst pipe should be all set.

04:47:02.560 --> 04:47:05.560
Good thing you protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.

04:47:05.560 --> 04:47:09.560
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.

04:47:09.560 --> 04:47:12.560
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.

04:47:12.560 --> 04:47:14.560
What about that emoji with a shocked face?

04:47:14.560 --> 04:47:16.560
Or maybe flooded with emotion.

04:47:16.560 --> 04:47:19.560
That's too much. Try, uh, Tuesdays are crazy.

04:47:19.560 --> 04:47:22.560
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.

04:47:22.560 --> 04:47:26.160
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.

04:47:28.160 --> 04:47:29.560
I totally believe you.

04:47:29.560 --> 04:47:32.560
Life is meaningless without affirmation, am I right?

04:47:52.560 --> 04:47:59.560
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road, and far beyond.

04:47:59.560 --> 04:48:02.560
Michelin, Motion for Life.

04:48:22.560 --> 04:48:24.560
I will not let you go.

04:48:24.560 --> 04:48:26.560
I will not let you go.

04:48:28.560 --> 04:48:30.560
I will not let you go.

04:48:34.560 --> 04:48:36.560
My friends, is my chair.

04:48:36.560 --> 04:48:38.560
I will not let you go.

04:48:38.560 --> 04:48:40.560
You will not let me go.

04:49:22.560 --> 04:49:26.560
And all I know is that we lost time

04:49:26.560 --> 04:49:31.560
If we stay right here, we can free ourselves and stay

04:49:33.560 --> 04:49:35.560
We'll stay awake forever

04:49:37.560 --> 04:49:40.560
We'll hide away when no one knows

04:49:41.560 --> 04:49:43.560
Let's run away together

04:49:45.560 --> 04:49:48.560
Sleepy into your words

04:50:48.560 --> 04:50:50.560
We'll stay away forever

04:50:52.560 --> 04:50:55.560
We'll hide away when no one knows

04:50:56.560 --> 04:50:59.560
Let's run away together

04:51:00.560 --> 04:51:03.560
To sleep maybe not too young

04:51:05.560 --> 04:51:07.560
We'll stay away forever

04:51:09.560 --> 04:51:12.560
We'll hide away when no one knows

04:51:13.560 --> 04:51:17.560
Let's run away together on a dark night

04:55:18.560 --> 04:55:29.560
in a grand finals will play for the title of North American regional champion and they had to go through a battle to get there every game down to the wire.

04:55:29.560 --> 04:55:33.760
Some games worth the price of three and it's an incredible point at this point.

04:55:33.760 --> 04:55:37.560
Energy's played I think an extra nine games of rock league in this tournament bait.

04:55:37.560 --> 04:55:43.560
It's incredible to run that they're on right now when they're on the brink of getting another regional championship.

04:55:43.560 --> 04:55:50.840
Yeah, they are on the brink to be the first one of this split on the road to Paris and it's not easy for them

04:55:50.840 --> 04:55:55.280
This is definitely the hardest they've ever had to work in and this shot by rebellion squad

04:55:55.280 --> 04:56:01.100
I thought they played so well first killer particular. I thought he was sensational. I thought LG was really good, too

04:56:01.380 --> 04:56:08.520
It's just a moment still little things and two overtime wins for an RG game one and game for the 12 minute backbreaker

04:56:08.520 --> 04:56:13.320
I think made the difference in that series James. Oh, certainly. I mean that energy

04:56:13.560 --> 04:56:15.600
had long over times earlier this weekend,

04:56:15.600 --> 04:56:17.960
and it was not in their favor either.

04:56:17.960 --> 04:56:20.520
So they've been preparing for that moment.

04:56:20.520 --> 04:56:21.440
They got the job done.

04:56:21.440 --> 04:56:24.600
But like you said, I was impressed with Shopify Rebellion.

04:56:24.600 --> 04:56:27.440
I think looking ahead to Paris, I

04:56:27.440 --> 04:56:30.040
am very excited to see what this team can do

04:56:30.040 --> 04:56:31.680
on the international stage.

04:56:31.680 --> 04:56:34.560
They are working as a team quite well.

04:56:34.560 --> 04:56:36.400
I think this was just a situation

04:56:36.400 --> 04:56:38.840
where you had Titans out there battling it out.

04:56:38.840 --> 04:56:40.880
And unfortunately for them, only one team could win.

04:56:40.880 --> 04:56:42.080
But they made it entertaining.

04:56:42.080 --> 04:56:45.520
It was a great comeback attempt from Rebellion.

04:56:45.520 --> 04:56:50.040
But man, NRG, they just have that X-Factor, I tell ya.

04:56:50.040 --> 04:56:52.560
I mean, something like to call the plot over.

04:56:52.560 --> 04:56:54.480
No matter what, when we get to game seven,

04:56:54.480 --> 04:56:56.840
NRG's gonna score first, it's gonna be ugly going,

04:56:56.840 --> 04:56:58.320
they're gonna cut my victories.

04:56:58.320 --> 04:56:59.360
And that's exactly what happens,

04:56:59.360 --> 04:57:01.720
but that's what greatness is.

04:57:01.720 --> 04:57:05.360
I mean, you put yourself in that position so many times,

04:57:05.360 --> 04:57:06.200
and it's inevitable.

04:57:06.200 --> 04:57:08.400
Like even this moment, Dan's coming back down,

04:57:08.400 --> 04:57:10.720
this is all fatigue from a shot by a player.

04:57:10.720 --> 04:57:12.160
They've been playing so much.

04:57:12.160 --> 04:57:15.000
They've had to work so hard and ordered them to come back

04:57:15.000 --> 04:57:16.080
into the set.

04:57:16.080 --> 04:57:18.240
And then they ultimately made their worst mistake

04:57:18.240 --> 04:57:19.080
at the end of the game.

04:57:19.080 --> 04:57:21.560
A miscommunication between first kill and LJ.

04:57:21.560 --> 04:57:22.880
But they got to hold their head highs.

04:57:22.880 --> 04:57:23.920
I'm with you on that, James.

04:57:23.920 --> 04:57:25.640
I mean, they play with that in Paris.

04:57:25.640 --> 04:57:26.880
They're going to be looking good.

04:57:26.880 --> 04:57:28.400
Yeah, no shame losing to the World Champs,

04:57:28.400 --> 04:57:29.760
especially in game seven.

04:57:29.760 --> 04:57:30.960
Exactly.

04:57:30.960 --> 04:57:32.320
And you're here on Championship Sunday.

04:57:32.320 --> 04:57:34.120
You got to bring your best in this situation.

04:57:34.120 --> 04:57:35.960
And SSG has done so far as well.

04:57:35.960 --> 04:57:37.280
They are all the energy.

04:57:37.280 --> 04:57:40.440
And SSG, the top two teams right now in our region,

04:57:40.440 --> 04:57:43.440
One of them will be crowned North American regional champion

04:57:43.440 --> 04:57:45.040
when we are done with the broadcast.

04:57:45.040 --> 04:57:47.200
Only one more match left to play.

04:57:47.200 --> 04:57:49.600
It's been an exciting bracket.

04:57:49.600 --> 04:57:54.920
And with that win, NRG has leapfrogged over E-sports

04:57:54.920 --> 04:57:57.120
for the number three spot.

04:57:57.120 --> 04:58:00.120
With a win here, I believe they would leapfrog shop

04:58:00.120 --> 04:58:01.680
a five rebellion as well.

04:58:01.680 --> 04:58:04.880
If I remember how the point was tied, SSG.

04:58:04.880 --> 04:58:07.160
Maybe even tie SSG there for that top spot.

04:58:07.160 --> 04:58:08.840
So six more points in the line.

04:58:08.840 --> 04:58:09.720
Yes, they would tie SSG.

04:58:09.720 --> 04:58:10.400
You're absolutely right.

04:58:10.400 --> 04:58:17.240
It's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be crazy here as we get into our final match of the day

04:58:18.480 --> 04:58:20.440
$21,000 also on the line, which is pretty pretty cool

04:58:20.440 --> 04:58:23.740
But finally finally had a game seven James. We were talking about I was like, I don't know

04:58:23.740 --> 04:58:30.160
We're getting like this might be the one and you're right, you know anytime these teams match up. I feel like the

04:58:30.840 --> 04:58:32.560
first killer

04:58:32.560 --> 04:58:37.400
Versus atomic, you know, especially like in our G and previously G2 first killer

04:58:37.400 --> 04:58:44.080
He's just the rival man. You look you think about all the three Pete's that atomic has almost pulled off it first killers

04:58:44.080 --> 04:58:47.180
I've always been in the way, so yeah, it was it was a ride

04:58:47.180 --> 04:58:49.840
It was amazing and you wonder if NRG is gonna be

04:58:50.360 --> 04:58:56.020
Fatigue from all that playing wonder all that emotion going into the grand finals. Yeah, what do you think T?

04:58:56.020 --> 04:59:01.800
They're fatigued over it. It's impossible not to be fatigued. I'm fatigued. I was watching way ever you fatigue

04:59:02.120 --> 04:59:05.480
I'm a team from watching but here's it. Here's the situation though

04:59:05.480 --> 04:59:13.240
We're talking about how of a long distance long endurance racing team this energy squad is. Let me take you back to

04:59:13.800 --> 04:59:20.680
2024 when they were being known as g2 and they play the rock elite world champions the world championship in bickey's arena

04:59:21.160 --> 04:59:25.080
G2's drive taken on fury has set the record for the longest

04:59:25.480 --> 04:59:27.560
Best of seven in the history of rlcs

04:59:27.560 --> 04:59:33.560
They had three games that went to more than five minutes of overtime and that squad these boys atomic daniel beast mode

04:59:33.560 --> 04:59:37.920
One that series in game seven to then move to the semi-finals where they placed

04:59:38.200 --> 04:59:42.960
Carming core which also went to game seven had only a minute of overtime in there

04:59:42.960 --> 04:59:47.480
But what the game seven and they won there too. I went back to check what happens in last series

04:59:47.760 --> 04:59:51.760
The last series they eventually ran out, but here's the thing they only got to play one more series

04:59:51.760 --> 04:59:53.140
They only got to play one more series today

04:59:53.140 --> 04:59:55.720
They don't have two more series after this right the series

04:59:55.720 --> 05:00:00.320
We just saw them play the second longest best of seven in the history of RLCS

05:00:00.320 --> 05:00:02.040
So they've got number one and number two.

05:00:02.040 --> 05:00:03.440
And they won both those series.

05:00:03.440 --> 05:00:05.920
And the fact that they came out of that first longest series

05:00:05.920 --> 05:00:08.520
and beat Karmikor in seven games

05:00:08.520 --> 05:00:11.480
makes me question, does it even matter?

05:00:12.480 --> 05:00:14.240
Listen, and wait, if you bring up excellent points

05:00:14.240 --> 05:00:15.720
right now, I just ping D-Rap

05:00:15.720 --> 05:00:17.680
because I got a rebuttal to that point.

05:00:17.680 --> 05:00:20.440
And it's gonna be the NRG versus Karmon series.

05:00:20.440 --> 05:00:22.640
The NRG played in Boston.

05:00:22.640 --> 05:00:24.840
They put everything they had against Casey.

05:00:24.840 --> 05:00:27.120
They beat him, I believe in seven.

05:00:27.120 --> 05:00:28.160
And then they absolutely got slapped

05:00:28.160 --> 05:00:29.240
by Vitaliy next up.

05:00:29.240 --> 05:00:32.700
And I understand that SSG is not the same level as in potentially, but

05:00:33.440 --> 05:00:35.780
I went six my bales, it was one of six games.

05:00:35.780 --> 05:00:37.300
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

05:00:37.300 --> 05:00:40.420
But in saying that they could, they could, but it's gonna be tough.

05:00:40.460 --> 05:00:41.180
It's gonna be tough.

05:00:41.620 --> 05:00:44.340
It's, it's, it's, I feel like that's also a different story.

05:00:44.340 --> 05:00:45.800
That's a different Carmen core here, right?

05:00:45.800 --> 05:00:49.840
The Carmen core story has now of the last year has been, if you beat us,

05:00:49.880 --> 05:00:54.720
you immediately lose the next match, which that plays out here as well.

05:00:54.740 --> 05:00:57.240
And very point, he's arena where they beat Carmen core and

05:00:57.240 --> 05:01:00.520
Yeah, I love her next match right? What is that? Do you see the shirt?

05:01:00.520 --> 05:01:07.320
Her field was wearing? Is this a cry for help?

05:01:07.320 --> 05:01:09.820
Alright, is he talking about 1v1?

05:01:09.820 --> 05:01:13.820
There might be a cry for help if you're in the top.

05:01:13.820 --> 05:01:15.820
Oh my goodness.

05:01:15.820 --> 05:01:18.320
We'll see.

05:01:18.320 --> 05:01:23.320
Okay, well folks, who do you think is going to win? Let us know in the fan vote.

05:01:23.320 --> 05:01:29.160
This is a crazy one a red-hot team that scored 30 more goals than their opponents so far

05:01:29.160 --> 05:01:31.920
I've SSG's dropped two games in this tournament. I'm pretty sure

05:01:32.800 --> 05:01:39.300
NRG's the exact opposite situation here and yet I still feel like their favorites here James. Do you got them?

05:01:40.360 --> 05:01:45.360
You know, I know this might be a sacrilegious, but I'm gonna go with you know

05:01:46.440 --> 05:01:49.720
I'm gonna go with SSG. I feel like SSG

05:01:50.360 --> 05:01:52.000
They are

05:01:52.000 --> 05:01:59.200
Inform they're they've had some time to rest energy has been you know put through the gauntlet

05:01:59.200 --> 05:02:01.840
I think they're gonna be tired. I think SSG is gonna get it

05:02:02.520 --> 05:02:06.600
Bates yeah, I made you go for me last time wave. I'll go for you. Of course

05:02:07.800 --> 05:02:12.920
I mean my mind says SSG it really does this base. I'm trying to play into fatigue fact

05:02:12.920 --> 05:02:14.920
I think it really does matter

05:02:15.280 --> 05:02:20.040
Yeah, I think it really does matter and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go SSG cuz I'm gonna go

05:02:20.040 --> 05:02:23.600
Just off the fatigue man. I think it's very difficult to win a series

05:02:24.360 --> 05:02:29.520
And he was a great team immediately right now. I think it's really hard. True. It's so true and yet

05:02:30.160 --> 05:02:33.640
NRG has built a legacy on doing exactly that

05:02:34.440 --> 05:02:36.840
I said I power ranking them number one right now

05:02:36.840 --> 05:02:43.280
I think they're like the strongest-looking team to their peak could possibly take down any team in Europe right now when they're playing

05:02:43.280 --> 05:02:49.440
They're best and yet the inevitability of NRG. I just can't not pick them right now

05:02:49.440 --> 05:02:52.440
I like that. Give me energy with you. Give me energy as well.

05:02:52.440 --> 05:02:58.440
You know what? Give me energy too, baby. Give me energy too.

05:02:58.440 --> 05:03:02.440
No, I switched. I couldn't do it. Wait, I couldn't do it.

05:03:02.440 --> 05:03:05.440
There we go. All right. All is well.

05:03:05.440 --> 05:03:09.440
That feels right. That's close. That's close.

05:03:09.440 --> 05:03:11.440
Oh, that feels, this curse shield is really bad, folks.

05:03:11.440 --> 05:03:13.440
And yet, we have yet to curse a team today.

05:03:13.440 --> 05:03:16.440
We'll see what happens, folks. Energy, the favorites on the desk.

05:03:16.440 --> 05:03:22.200
the favorites in chat the favorites in the books of history and yet we are not in the history books

05:03:22.200 --> 05:03:30.280
yet here can ssg take them down and go into paris as the number one seed representing north america

05:03:30.280 --> 05:03:39.080
your grand finals energy versus space station game ladies and gentlemen welcome to the grand

05:03:39.080 --> 05:03:44.360
finals here of north american open six dazzling with the cheese joining me achieves we've got

05:03:44.360 --> 05:03:50.200
NRG vs. Space Station Gaming. Game 1 brought you by Progressive, getting ready to get underway.

05:03:50.200 --> 05:03:56.680
It's been a day, and if you're SSG fans, you want to see them come out here and go full

05:03:56.680 --> 05:04:03.080
floor, really put screws NRG, or maybe a moment of full security, what do you think?

05:04:03.080 --> 05:04:05.240
I like to see them come out hot. The pressure.

05:04:05.800 --> 05:04:07.720
I think we all want to see them come out hot.

05:04:07.720 --> 05:04:10.720
We're giving up on our kickoff goal!

05:04:10.720 --> 05:04:12.720
Reveal strikes!

05:04:12.720 --> 05:04:14.720
And this is it.

05:04:14.720 --> 05:04:16.720
RG already had to play from behind.

05:04:16.720 --> 05:04:17.720
Atomic.

05:04:17.720 --> 05:04:19.720
He wanted to fake it for Beast Mode.

05:04:19.720 --> 05:04:20.720
Reveal.

05:04:20.720 --> 05:04:23.720
He just didn't jump on the cheat.

05:04:25.720 --> 05:04:26.720
Okay.

05:04:26.720 --> 05:04:28.720
That's a choice.

05:04:28.720 --> 05:04:29.720
I mean...

05:04:29.720 --> 05:04:30.720
That's a choice.

05:04:30.720 --> 05:04:31.720
You dug a hole.

05:04:31.720 --> 05:04:33.720
That's all I'm gonna say.

05:04:34.720 --> 05:04:35.720
Oh, good.

05:04:35.720 --> 05:04:36.720
Well, they got work to do.

05:04:36.720 --> 05:04:40.160
Got atomic up the ladder look at Jack so quick, but Tommy can pass them.

05:04:40.160 --> 05:04:42.720
Atomic to Bill Martin, we get it right back!

05:04:42.720 --> 05:04:46.240
The bottom line, they knew they didn't beat that first kick off.

05:04:46.240 --> 05:04:51.440
But Tommy with a lot of room to work with and a nice easy flip reset reveal, can't quite reach it.

05:04:51.440 --> 05:04:55.360
Diaz trying to invest one step too late, forcing RG off top there.

05:04:55.360 --> 05:04:57.280
They knew he was getting that flip reset up.

05:04:58.320 --> 05:05:04.880
Alright, so, well Fiend showing some stuff here, but again NRG just kind of getting back to an even score line.

05:05:04.880 --> 05:05:11.880
They talk about the fatigue, but NRG do keep things up.

05:05:11.880 --> 05:05:16.720
They couldn't be just looking hot right now, which could also be a thing for SSG having

05:05:16.720 --> 05:05:21.600
to try to play a hot NRG as they are just continuing where they left off.

05:05:21.600 --> 05:05:25.520
A thrash in the Tommy gets a demo reveal, takes this one up off the sideline, gets

05:05:25.520 --> 05:05:26.520
a beat on Daniel.

05:05:26.520 --> 05:05:27.520
Now reveal, click forward.

05:05:27.520 --> 05:05:32.440
He has to look for a bump on the Tommy, because Tommy felt so hard to bump there.

05:05:32.440 --> 05:05:36.880
SSG may need to do some more here if they want to set up some consistent office.

05:05:36.880 --> 05:05:41.380
Really good job though for MinarG to confirm they gain their own corner boost.

05:05:41.380 --> 05:05:44.880
Not letting SSG get any more than they have to let them have.

05:05:44.880 --> 05:05:48.280
But right now, SSG is just bringing the same thing.

05:05:48.280 --> 05:05:54.180
They whip that switch and apply that same amount of pressure they were able to put on foot right now.

05:05:54.180 --> 05:05:57.180
MinarG is more than equal to the TAPS.

05:05:57.180 --> 05:06:00.180
It's in the top of the bump, though.

05:06:00.180 --> 05:06:01.180
I think DS got him up for a gain.

05:06:01.180 --> 05:06:02.180
He'll gain a recovers.

05:06:02.180 --> 05:06:04.180
Yeah, it's supposed to look for a bump.

05:06:04.180 --> 05:06:06.180
One atomic as atomic was rotating out.

05:06:06.180 --> 05:06:08.180
Atomic rotated right back in.

05:06:08.180 --> 05:06:10.180
Abuse motor on the guy.

05:06:10.180 --> 05:06:12.180
And you got to think here, even though SSG,

05:06:12.180 --> 05:06:14.180
a very physical, heavy team,

05:06:14.180 --> 05:06:16.180
NRG's been able to dodge.

05:06:16.180 --> 05:06:19.180
It's fairly easy to get themselves a bit more presence

05:06:19.180 --> 05:06:21.180
in SSG that have had a struggle

05:06:21.180 --> 05:06:23.180
with getting the ball out of their hat.

05:06:23.180 --> 05:06:25.180
Good job, Bill, for revealing the bias of the time.

05:06:25.180 --> 05:06:28.420
NRG went for a little bit of bump disruption.

05:06:28.420 --> 05:06:30.220
Made sure to win a couple of extra 50s,

05:06:30.220 --> 05:06:31.940
divided into some room and atomic again.

05:06:31.940 --> 05:06:33.220
Uncongested out of the midfield,

05:06:33.220 --> 05:06:35.460
Lipter is in, comes out late, reveals hamstrung

05:06:35.460 --> 05:06:37.020
and he still gets all the way back to it.

05:06:37.020 --> 05:06:39.260
Great stop in an awkward spot.

05:06:40.940 --> 05:06:43.060
The bang there from peace mode.

05:06:44.060 --> 05:06:47.380
NRG still moving up right here.

05:06:47.380 --> 05:06:50.260
Daniel gets a piece, gets a flip.

05:06:50.260 --> 05:06:52.860
Pass one, good clearance, peace mode.

05:06:52.860 --> 05:06:55.460
The light touch just gets away from him.

05:06:55.460 --> 05:06:57.620
Not heavy enough and not light enough.

05:06:57.620 --> 05:07:00.380
Well, Dak over to bring it all the way down.

05:07:00.380 --> 05:07:02.620
Daniel's kind of being a shark up there, there.

05:07:02.620 --> 05:07:04.780
Right now, it feels like he just walks up

05:07:04.780 --> 05:07:07.340
as his uncontested touch somewhere.

05:07:07.340 --> 05:07:09.380
He's really helping on that back line for Minergy.

05:07:09.380 --> 05:07:10.860
He's really stopping us, just to be

05:07:10.860 --> 05:07:12.220
familiar with anything extensive.

05:07:12.220 --> 05:07:14.220
Even with the thought of getting pressed here,

05:07:14.220 --> 05:07:16.860
it's just going to camp out on the back court

05:07:16.860 --> 05:07:18.420
and wait his turn out of the midfield.

05:07:18.420 --> 05:07:19.900
We're not going to get hit.

05:07:19.900 --> 05:07:24.580
and saw that back trying to just rub Daniel, Daniel just so

05:07:24.580 --> 05:07:28.820
aware to it to the point where, okay, he'll bring Zach out and

05:07:28.860 --> 05:07:32.260
get back into the right spot. I mean, when you do have to watch

05:07:32.260 --> 05:07:36.140
physicality, you're kind of get used to it, and put the shot

05:07:36.140 --> 05:07:40.020
on force and double commit. Bismo all playing high off the

05:07:40.020 --> 05:07:43.980
back wall atomic was racing, but I don't think atomic was

05:07:43.980 --> 05:07:47.540
actually trying to get involved in the score part of that. I

05:07:47.540 --> 05:07:52.540
I think it just wants to throw off the defense for a little bit and see if they can catch it as if he slipped.

05:07:52.540 --> 05:07:55.540
Right now, this is too surviving, but...

05:07:55.540 --> 05:07:58.540
...pops and demos really make it difficult for Tomik.

05:07:58.540 --> 05:07:59.540
What a clue.

05:07:59.540 --> 05:08:00.540
Alright.

05:08:00.540 --> 05:08:03.540
I don't think I can after a while there.

05:08:03.540 --> 05:08:05.540
It's a little high, Tomik looking straight.

05:08:05.540 --> 05:08:08.540
Drop down, drop down, but not good enough for Beast Mode to get there.

05:08:08.540 --> 05:08:10.540
Beast Mode didn't have the boost.

05:08:10.540 --> 05:08:12.540
That pop from Daniel might prove disastrous.

05:08:12.540 --> 05:08:13.540
That green arachid!

05:08:13.540 --> 05:08:14.540
Wow!

05:08:14.540 --> 05:08:16.540
Tomik want to save!

05:08:16.540 --> 05:08:19.740
by a hair and it's not done.

05:08:19.740 --> 05:08:21.220
Here comes Zach one more time.

05:08:21.220 --> 05:08:22.460
Actually, not the best touch.

05:08:22.460 --> 05:08:23.820
Beastman will break that up.

05:08:23.820 --> 05:08:25.980
They'll be able to furnish things up here too as well.

05:08:25.980 --> 05:08:27.780
And to get the kind of, we need to see a replay

05:08:27.780 --> 05:08:28.980
though of the atomic scene.

05:08:28.980 --> 05:08:31.100
That was some luck.

05:08:31.100 --> 05:08:31.940
Yeah.

05:08:31.940 --> 05:08:33.740
I can't wait to see the highlights on that.

05:08:33.740 --> 05:08:36.180
Also, on this play, these will play a high,

05:08:36.180 --> 05:08:37.940
look at this guy, so quick to the back wall,

05:08:37.940 --> 05:08:39.700
slows down, wants to take his time.

05:08:39.700 --> 05:08:41.180
That might not have been the best decision.

05:08:41.180 --> 05:08:43.220
On the back wall, there's the speed from Dan,

05:08:43.220 --> 05:08:46.020
straight down, but no one from NRG

05:08:46.020 --> 05:08:48.980
can follow with a pitch straight to a Tommy.

05:08:48.980 --> 05:08:50.620
I don't get you playing that 50 or not,

05:08:50.620 --> 05:08:53.120
but a Tommy trying to work through all the defense here

05:08:53.120 --> 05:08:56.780
has said G is stretching as B-Smo keeps this in

05:08:56.780 --> 05:09:01.300
for NRG, great 50s, to keep possession as time ticks down.

05:09:01.300 --> 05:09:02.660
What a job for Mrs. G.

05:09:02.660 --> 05:09:04.260
They still worked themselves out of the jam

05:09:04.260 --> 05:09:05.860
and they find a way to get the balls

05:09:05.860 --> 05:09:07.820
to actually put it in the top corner.

05:09:07.820 --> 05:09:09.780
Daniel was ready, but he didn't think

05:09:09.780 --> 05:09:12.540
it was going to be that big of a problem.

05:09:12.540 --> 05:09:15.540
Good pass though from Diaz and Reveal

05:09:15.540 --> 05:09:17.700
Saw a gag gopher, the redirect derby said,

05:09:17.700 --> 05:09:19.300
let me take a shot at it.

05:09:19.300 --> 05:09:23.060
Perfect placement to the top right corner.

05:09:23.060 --> 05:09:25.700
Just deadly of a shot there for reveal.

05:09:25.700 --> 05:09:29.980
And SSG now with the first strike here.

05:09:29.980 --> 05:09:32.620
And the grand finals, they've been playing a lot

05:09:32.620 --> 05:09:36.460
of defense here, cheese, but they have been striking hard

05:09:36.460 --> 05:09:37.540
when they needed to.

05:09:37.540 --> 05:09:39.820
They just have to hold off for these last 30 seconds.

05:09:39.820 --> 05:09:43.540
Seriously, big lightning bolt out of nowhere.

05:09:43.540 --> 05:09:47.940
That's kind of how some of those games with foot went as well, you know, very savvy defending, but

05:09:48.740 --> 05:09:52.580
You find yourself in one bad spot and boy do they deliver the goods

05:09:53.780 --> 05:09:58.660
And now SSG wouldn't be surprised to see him pressed with 10 just to keep NRG on the back foot

05:10:00.900 --> 05:10:07.540
Zach, ooh, not the best touch here reveal awkward bounce. We'll get there to meet it though to cut off beast mode and daniel will not be

05:10:07.700 --> 05:10:08.980
keep it up

05:10:08.980 --> 05:10:14.420
SSG take game one in our G had all the pressure and then we really look at it there to achieve

05:10:14.900 --> 05:10:16.540
You have to think

05:10:16.540 --> 05:10:22.180
About the physicality for SSG it has been a cornerstone of their gameplay when they're in the lead

05:10:22.340 --> 05:10:27.460
It's when it's the most effective because you have these teams who are building up that office

05:10:27.460 --> 05:10:33.020
But all it takes is one get up from the back all the players on SSG are good at that physical gameplay

05:10:33.180 --> 05:10:35.180
And when they connect

05:10:35.180 --> 05:10:38.720
that completely disrupts Interpol's offense.

05:10:38.720 --> 05:10:41.520
It really does, and the efficiency from SSG

05:10:41.520 --> 05:10:43.580
lights out four shots, two goals,

05:10:43.580 --> 05:10:46.860
all those saves, energy, pepper, and that all game long,

05:10:46.860 --> 05:10:49.180
and they've disciplined enough to one,

05:10:49.180 --> 05:10:52.520
not get physically played out themselves,

05:10:52.520 --> 05:10:54.660
and two, making sure not to get boost starved

05:10:54.660 --> 05:10:56.020
to the point where, you know,

05:10:56.020 --> 05:10:58.380
NRG just kept getting it off the backboard or something,

05:10:58.380 --> 05:11:00.620
which we've seen them do against several teams, right?

05:11:00.620 --> 05:11:01.940
They just steal all your boosts,

05:11:01.940 --> 05:11:03.740
throw it up to the wall and say good luck,

05:11:03.740 --> 05:11:05.540
and eventually just break you down.

05:11:05.540 --> 05:11:07.900
I mean, Space Station had to be pretty solid

05:11:07.900 --> 05:11:09.580
on the defensive end there to make sure

05:11:09.580 --> 05:11:11.380
that they were always in that one.

05:11:11.380 --> 05:11:12.620
Yeah.

05:11:12.620 --> 05:11:16.540
And it did feel like when they were on offense, right?

05:11:16.540 --> 05:11:17.940
They get a couple of breaker waves

05:11:17.940 --> 05:11:18.980
and then you say, okay, yeah,

05:11:18.980 --> 05:11:21.220
this is exactly what you need.

05:11:21.220 --> 05:11:24.860
They strike again with very strong

05:11:24.860 --> 05:11:27.100
and hard to defend shots.

05:11:27.100 --> 05:11:30.020
And that's a big key to the gameplay

05:11:30.020 --> 05:11:31.100
because what they're telling you

05:11:31.100 --> 05:11:32.660
is you can get the pressure on us,

05:11:32.660 --> 05:11:35.180
but we're good at defense, we know how to get out,

05:11:35.180 --> 05:11:36.540
and when we do get out,

05:11:36.540 --> 05:11:38.500
we're gonna really kind of put the pressure

05:11:38.500 --> 05:11:40.020
and give it right back at you.

05:11:41.580 --> 05:11:43.340
I love Daniel in game one.

05:11:43.340 --> 05:11:45.340
Not that I didn't like Beast Motor Atomic,

05:11:45.340 --> 05:11:47.540
I just felt like he was such an effective third man,

05:11:47.540 --> 05:11:49.540
but now you're wondering, okay, hang on.

05:11:50.980 --> 05:11:53.300
Nick need a little bit more than just one good guy

05:11:53.300 --> 05:11:55.740
out of the back line to keep FSG at bay,

05:11:55.740 --> 05:11:58.700
and our G might have to start getting

05:11:58.700 --> 05:12:00.460
a little more creative in the attempts,

05:12:00.460 --> 05:12:02.060
which is not something I feel like

05:12:02.060 --> 05:12:06.220
They get the chance to see it very often about them.

05:12:06.220 --> 05:12:07.340
That's true.

05:12:07.340 --> 05:12:09.580
We'll see if they come up with some creativity.

05:12:09.580 --> 05:12:12.260
They've led in the physical gameplay, I believe,

05:12:12.260 --> 05:12:15.780
with 10 demos in that last game.

05:12:15.780 --> 05:12:17.500
And they're looking for more bumps.

05:12:17.500 --> 05:12:18.740
They already opened up with one.

05:12:18.740 --> 05:12:21.060
As Daniel will put a bouncer on it, throw off the defense.

05:12:21.060 --> 05:12:23.100
As soon as he's cleared into space, he can't go.

05:12:23.100 --> 05:12:24.380
Oh, but the demo sets him up.

05:12:24.380 --> 05:12:26.140
Just knocked there fast enough.

05:12:26.140 --> 05:12:28.620
DS fails his team out.

05:12:28.620 --> 05:12:30.260
Oh, and Daniel, that's a donation

05:12:30.260 --> 05:12:32.820
and Diaz to reveal off the ceiling.

05:12:32.820 --> 05:12:35.140
I like it trying to keep NRG flat-footed

05:12:35.140 --> 05:12:36.420
and Daniel quick to break it up

05:12:36.420 --> 05:12:39.940
and actually big lift from Zack and lost the boost.

05:12:39.940 --> 05:12:41.860
Thankfully Diaz is able to buy a lot of time

05:12:41.860 --> 05:12:44.180
through his own corner though.

05:12:44.180 --> 05:12:46.260
NRG double commit, reveal pops it off,

05:12:46.260 --> 05:12:49.620
but may have even had a shooting chance there

05:12:49.620 --> 05:12:51.100
with a little tough to see.

05:12:52.100 --> 05:12:54.760
Zack on top of this one now Diaz moving up

05:12:54.760 --> 05:12:57.580
to be a nuisance reveal last back here.

05:12:57.580 --> 05:13:01.040
gets there quickly and even then a bit of a double commit.

05:13:01.040 --> 05:13:03.640
I said, G starting to look a bit awkward,

05:13:03.640 --> 05:13:06.920
but NRG not in a foreign chance unless they can get

05:13:06.920 --> 05:13:08.600
this shot he can.

05:13:08.600 --> 05:13:10.240
NRG get the first.

05:13:10.240 --> 05:13:11.760
Can feel it building, right?

05:13:11.760 --> 05:13:12.840
They get bumped.

05:13:12.840 --> 05:13:14.760
They all have zero boost on the gold lining,

05:13:14.760 --> 05:13:17.080
which you know we saw that in one series as well.

05:13:17.080 --> 05:13:19.560
They're really good with zero boost on the attack.

05:13:19.560 --> 05:13:22.760
Zero boost on the fence does get a little bit harder.

05:13:22.760 --> 05:13:26.080
Our G just bully them out of the way and bundle one in.

05:13:27.580 --> 05:13:32.580
Zack now picks this one up off the kickoff goes right to him once he played off the steal

05:13:32.580 --> 05:13:35.580
and picked Wendair versus Beast Mode.

05:13:35.580 --> 05:13:37.580
But now Beast Mode downfield while Gale gets on the ball.

05:13:37.580 --> 05:13:42.580
Wanted to get a bump there on Diaz. Diaz will pick this up, get the ball, that's boost.

05:13:42.580 --> 05:13:46.580
Could have worked all the way through that first touch even through off Atomic.

05:13:46.580 --> 05:13:49.580
Now in our Gale little awkward and Diaz trying to make the most of it.

05:13:49.580 --> 05:13:53.580
Gale is still out to play but Atomic is still stopping things on the goal line.

05:13:53.580 --> 05:13:58.860
Nice job from atomic, you know, you did get bumped by Diaz on that initial follow through the corner

05:13:58.980 --> 05:14:06.540
He was able to react to just stick himself in the plate despite a lot of contact and a lot going on in front of them great discipline

05:14:07.380 --> 05:14:12.540
Pays to be a world champion in multi-time grand finalists. You get used to the pressure

05:14:14.380 --> 05:14:16.380
Is it that real?

05:14:16.380 --> 05:14:18.380
Beast mode

05:14:19.340 --> 05:14:22.980
To follow for the bump atomic

05:14:23.580 --> 05:14:28.380
With the cut there beast mode great light touch it'll be the asses into the side

05:14:28.380 --> 05:14:31.280
Well, no double here and Daniel will read it straight down good

05:14:31.280 --> 05:14:36.940
We're all I was gonna say the reason Zach everyone pretty surprised on the field that that couldn't connect with that

05:14:37.380 --> 05:14:42.380
And these moment atomic double command and reveal great person the game just waste no time

05:14:43.980 --> 05:14:49.900
And he made a clutch save top one as well, but he got good power on it definitely kept energy

05:14:49.900 --> 05:14:55.300
high of the midfield line but they are squeezing annual forcing with zero will be

05:14:55.300 --> 05:14:59.460
out of time pretty quick as with no boost deals and our G might have to give

05:14:59.460 --> 05:15:02.420
this one up the comic will die from the

05:15:02.420 --> 05:15:07.100
lose the 50 but Dan and Beast have so much more boost here Thomas gonna steal

05:15:07.100 --> 05:15:11.340
SSG's in the corner he has those up for it plays the past one Beast mode was awkward

05:15:11.340 --> 05:15:15.300
but look at the recovery great recovery got a flip got another flip oh Beast mode

05:15:15.300 --> 05:15:19.140
And if it told him at that point, right, the post blessed him.

05:15:19.140 --> 05:15:20.020
He said, you know what?

05:15:20.020 --> 05:15:21.020
This was fantastic.

05:15:21.020 --> 05:15:21.860
Here you go.

05:15:21.860 --> 05:15:22.860
Headed all the way.

05:15:22.860 --> 05:15:23.780
Nice flip, he said.

05:15:23.780 --> 05:15:25.980
Held it just enough to get under Zack,

05:15:25.980 --> 05:15:27.460
and then you make your own luck, right?

05:15:27.460 --> 05:15:28.580
Forced him to make a touch.

05:15:28.580 --> 05:15:29.780
Goes right back off the post.

05:15:29.780 --> 05:15:30.780
Comes right back to you.

05:15:30.780 --> 05:15:32.060
Well done, base mode.

05:15:32.060 --> 05:15:34.580
Way to get it done in an awkward spot.

05:15:34.580 --> 05:15:35.700
Two minutes on the clock.

05:15:35.700 --> 05:15:39.260
SSG nowhere near the offensive out.

05:15:39.260 --> 05:15:41.340
They had in that semi-final.

05:15:41.340 --> 05:15:43.380
And they've got to be scratching their heads right now.

05:15:43.380 --> 05:15:50.740
you feel the time out coming yeah I mean potentially they are still they still

05:15:50.740 --> 05:15:54.060
do take game one so maybe I might hold the time out

05:15:54.060 --> 05:15:58.740
I guess I just got so tied up that they were on deep in the whole game I'm

05:15:58.740 --> 05:16:00.740
Got it on!

05:16:02.740 --> 05:16:13.540
Let's see. Daniel will pitch this out of comic. We'll pick this up and oh, Atomic. It's a big win here and

05:16:14.420 --> 05:16:20.020
a little awkward. Here's Beast Mode. Trying to get that center and Atomic does get a pop of

05:16:20.020 --> 05:16:24.980
Danes. Can't go though. It's hanging around midfield. They're gonna let BS pick this one up and

05:16:24.980 --> 05:16:28.100
I feel like we're looking at clock management energy now.

05:16:28.100 --> 05:16:30.740
Damn, with the flip reset, we'll send it into the corner.

05:16:30.740 --> 05:16:32.580
But look, they feel so much more spread out now.

05:16:34.580 --> 05:16:36.820
Ooh, and an awkward ball for Zach was here to lose.

05:16:36.820 --> 05:16:38.660
That's a welcome pinch.

05:16:38.660 --> 05:16:39.460
Great catch.

05:16:39.460 --> 05:16:41.380
Daniel, and the wind, that should be the net.

05:16:43.300 --> 05:16:43.780
Indeed.

05:16:43.780 --> 05:16:45.780
That's right.

05:16:45.780 --> 05:16:46.900
Doing great, of course.

05:16:46.900 --> 05:16:48.500
That one.

05:16:48.500 --> 05:16:50.180
And it's just off a clean beat.

05:16:50.180 --> 05:16:52.340
But energy kind of switching things up

05:16:52.340 --> 05:16:54.100
and like spreading out their play.

05:16:54.100 --> 05:16:58.940
believe that's happened because now SSG internal more spread out is a game they

05:16:58.940 --> 05:17:02.980
try to send a guy up looks for bumps you gotta take a risk to lay in the game

05:17:02.980 --> 05:17:07.780
down by two at some point so not too surprising that would get through not

05:17:07.780 --> 05:17:10.620
I wouldn't even be surprised that this was ends up being a goal for the real

05:17:10.620 --> 05:17:16.180
the nice and 30 seconds to go and SSG they gotta try to get one that's their

05:17:16.180 --> 05:17:21.220
third shot of the game as everybody on SSG has just once in their name NRG

05:17:21.220 --> 05:17:25.220
He did such a great job keeping the pressure and yeah, that's going to do it.

05:17:25.220 --> 05:17:30.220
Definitely will do it for Game 2. NRG do find a way to bounce back.

05:17:30.220 --> 05:17:32.220
I think that's everything they wanted out of Game 1.

05:17:32.220 --> 05:17:34.220
It really did feel pretty copy-paced.

05:17:34.220 --> 05:17:38.220
You know, the only difference was SSG found a way through the event.

05:17:38.220 --> 05:17:41.220
I was able to survive on defense. You're not so much, you know,

05:17:41.220 --> 05:17:45.220
that a lot of pressure gets to when you start to accept a little bit more risk.

05:17:45.220 --> 05:17:50.220
NRG, armful collected through that midfield line throughout both games.

05:17:50.220 --> 05:17:52.220
Find a way back and shut them out.

05:17:52.220 --> 05:17:55.220
Game two well done, no doubt.

05:17:55.220 --> 05:17:57.220
And this is G playing for the pride

05:17:57.220 --> 05:18:01.220
just to at least get something started at the end of it.

05:18:01.220 --> 05:18:03.220
Doesn't look like even that will happen.

05:18:03.220 --> 05:18:06.220
NRG is willing to give them any.

05:18:06.220 --> 05:18:11.220
So shut out here in game two in NRG.

05:18:11.220 --> 05:18:14.220
I would say the first two goals that were scored

05:18:14.220 --> 05:18:17.220
really NRG kind of worked for those afterwards.

05:18:17.220 --> 05:18:19.220
You know, they're looking at the time of the clock

05:18:19.220 --> 05:18:23.380
the clock and the situation and I think SSG was trying to take a couple of risks there

05:18:23.380 --> 05:18:24.380
late in the game.

05:18:24.380 --> 05:18:30.940
You know, risk reward was pretty high on a lot of those plays and NRG able to just pick

05:18:30.940 --> 05:18:32.580
them apart based on that.

05:18:32.580 --> 05:18:34.380
They knew what happened.

05:18:34.380 --> 05:18:39.980
Numbers again, Atomic almost in extermination had six out of the seven and needed it.

05:18:39.980 --> 05:18:44.980
You imagine having six demos and you only put up a hundred and fourteen on the scoreboard.

05:18:44.980 --> 05:18:49.180
That's why we got to get a, we need some point values aside of those things.

05:18:49.180 --> 05:18:59.020
You know, I think point values would be good, maybe something for an assist or a demo that

05:18:59.020 --> 05:19:02.500
leads to a goal, kind of thing, you know?

05:19:02.500 --> 05:19:05.180
Where's my Rocket League scorekeeper, Anita?

05:19:05.180 --> 05:19:09.700
Are we able to track, you know, demos on a goal line or something like that?

05:19:09.700 --> 05:19:10.700
We need something here.

05:19:10.700 --> 05:19:16.980
Because I think, you know, it's very valuable, very impactful, especially at high level.

05:19:16.980 --> 05:19:17.980
So we'll see.

05:19:17.980 --> 05:19:19.180
Oh, yeah, go ahead.

05:19:19.180 --> 05:19:21.140
I mean, what are you going to do with SSG here?

05:19:21.140 --> 05:19:23.620
It's been two games back to back.

05:19:23.620 --> 05:19:26.660
And the second one, you get kind of dog walked a little bit,

05:19:26.660 --> 05:19:28.100
right?

05:19:28.100 --> 05:19:30.860
So you're going into game three, like, guys,

05:19:30.860 --> 05:19:33.580
we cannot get boxed into our own half, right?

05:19:33.580 --> 05:19:36.300
I mean, you have to come out and do something different,

05:19:36.300 --> 05:19:39.460
because I don't want to play 15 straight minutes

05:19:39.460 --> 05:19:40.940
in our G just pressing me.

05:19:40.940 --> 05:19:43.500
That doesn't sound funny.

05:19:43.500 --> 05:19:44.100
Yeah.

05:19:44.100 --> 05:19:45.700
Based on the last series, I don't think

05:19:45.700 --> 05:19:48.060
I don't think Rebellion wanted to do that either.

05:19:48.060 --> 05:19:50.620
Rebellion's just really, really good at one,

05:19:50.620 --> 05:19:52.140
handling it and the two getting out.

05:19:52.140 --> 05:19:55.620
As a G, they can get out, but they need to strike

05:19:55.620 --> 05:19:57.180
and really kind of mix up most of it,

05:19:57.180 --> 05:20:00.020
see if they can open things up with their physicality.

05:20:00.020 --> 05:20:01.260
But this is a true test, right?

05:20:01.260 --> 05:20:02.620
You want to be in the conversation

05:20:02.620 --> 05:20:04.260
of best team in North America,

05:20:04.260 --> 05:20:07.300
you've got to go through a team like this,

05:20:07.300 --> 05:20:09.740
in our G, who have been born.

05:20:11.580 --> 05:20:13.780
Daniel, even while getting pumped,

05:20:13.780 --> 05:20:16.080
I feel almost turned that one into the net.

05:20:16.080 --> 05:20:18.080
Do you add a little bit of work out?

05:20:18.080 --> 05:20:19.740
I was going to try the air dribble bump.

05:20:19.740 --> 05:20:22.220
I wasn't sure it looked like he had the help coming in behind,

05:20:22.220 --> 05:20:24.340
but not quite enough.

05:20:24.340 --> 05:20:25.900
Got the follow up touch.

05:20:25.900 --> 05:20:27.460
Hello, Atomic.

05:20:27.460 --> 05:20:28.380
And yeah, you're right.

05:20:28.380 --> 05:20:31.500
The help was there, but it was just super awkward

05:20:31.500 --> 05:20:32.700
to get involved there.

05:20:32.700 --> 05:20:36.620
Now, yes, picking up the first for SSG.

05:20:36.620 --> 05:20:40.420
SSG here with the lead in game three,

05:20:40.420 --> 05:20:42.620
looking a lot better than game two,

05:20:42.620 --> 05:20:44.620
with that over there.

05:20:44.620 --> 05:20:47.620
They prove lethal with one goal leads as well.

05:20:47.620 --> 05:20:49.620
I mean, that whole semi-final, they got to lead.

05:20:49.620 --> 05:20:51.620
Boy.

05:20:51.620 --> 05:20:55.620
It was not fun at that point for anybody.

05:20:55.620 --> 05:20:57.620
So we shall see what they can do,

05:20:57.620 --> 05:21:00.620
putting the world champs down one

05:21:00.620 --> 05:21:03.620
with an equal series reveal squeezing nicely

05:21:03.620 --> 05:21:06.620
and already it does feel like they've got a bit more bite.

05:21:06.620 --> 05:21:09.620
At least got a solid grip in the midfield line for now.

05:21:09.620 --> 05:21:11.620
How long does it last?

05:21:11.620 --> 05:21:14.340
I mean, the big thing is gonna be mitigating that pressure

05:21:14.340 --> 05:21:16.620
when you see NRG on offense,

05:21:16.620 --> 05:21:19.420
and it starts stealing your boost like Ataman does now.

05:21:19.420 --> 05:21:21.020
Eastmote actually is going up field two,

05:21:21.020 --> 05:21:23.140
if the hitter stole the other corner.

05:21:23.140 --> 05:21:25.500
Now, I said, gee, already in that situation, right?

05:21:25.500 --> 05:21:27.540
Little bit long boost, revealed the way for the midfield,

05:21:27.540 --> 05:21:30.420
and the clearance works in their favor.

05:21:30.420 --> 05:21:31.580
Gotta do a good job of interrupting.

05:21:31.580 --> 05:21:33.020
Look at that, cool way forward,

05:21:33.020 --> 05:21:36.660
to give it to DS and Beastmote, what a recovery.

05:21:36.660 --> 05:21:39.180
I should've known, I should've never doubted him.

05:21:39.180 --> 05:21:41.580
I'm sorry, Beastmote, I didn't know your game

05:21:41.580 --> 05:21:44.640
like as well as I should have either way great stuff.

05:21:45.640 --> 05:21:47.980
Zack, oh, they have the brakes.

05:21:47.980 --> 05:21:49.820
Oh wait, they're coming up.

05:21:49.820 --> 05:21:50.900
He's more double.

05:21:50.900 --> 05:21:53.980
Oh, but just couldn't get there in time.

05:21:53.980 --> 05:21:55.560
So close.

05:21:55.560 --> 05:21:56.580
He's what we'll try again.

05:21:56.580 --> 05:21:58.180
Has Tomik in the midfield.

05:21:58.180 --> 05:21:59.420
Reveal, look at the cut.

05:22:00.300 --> 05:22:02.620
Yes, that demo on the Tomik actually might

05:22:02.620 --> 05:22:04.620
prove fruitful here, is Daniel can't really do

05:22:04.620 --> 05:22:06.060
too much with the ball.

05:22:06.060 --> 05:22:08.820
The 50 does go kind of away from everybody here.

05:22:08.820 --> 05:22:11.020
Tomik will get there first, reveal.

05:22:11.020 --> 05:22:11.740
trying to get the cut.

05:22:11.740 --> 05:22:13.460
Beast mode, trying to double again.

05:22:13.460 --> 05:22:16.340
The Beast strikes.

05:22:16.340 --> 05:22:18.500
What a shot from Beast mode.

05:22:18.500 --> 05:22:20.540
And Diaz, he could see it come on the whole way,

05:22:20.540 --> 05:22:21.700
but he couldn't do anything about it.

05:22:21.700 --> 05:22:25.300
He was really hoping reveal was going to get a piece of it.

05:22:25.300 --> 05:22:28.300
As soon as he saw Beast mode break through above his head,

05:22:28.300 --> 05:22:30.100
he went back to net, but he knew

05:22:30.100 --> 05:22:34.060
that thing was either in or he was missing.

05:22:34.060 --> 05:22:36.580
Unleash the Beast.

05:22:36.580 --> 05:22:38.420
He bumped one out the leg, got a double.

05:22:38.420 --> 05:22:40.140
Fantastic goal.

05:22:40.140 --> 05:22:44.300
NRG now tying up the series, and SSG,

05:22:45.500 --> 05:22:47.740
although they were able to get that first goal,

05:22:47.740 --> 05:22:48.940
here's the true test.

05:22:48.940 --> 05:22:51.100
NRG get one back, looking to do Diaz with it

05:22:51.100 --> 05:22:52.260
for a double himself.

05:22:52.260 --> 05:22:54.260
Daniel recognized it and got the denial.

05:22:54.260 --> 05:22:57.100
Zach, puts that one on the top and not the best touch.

05:22:57.100 --> 05:22:59.220
Reveal will make the top of jump again

05:22:59.220 --> 05:23:00.060
to try to get involved.

05:23:00.060 --> 05:23:01.260
Daniel gets the demo.

05:23:01.260 --> 05:23:04.660
Reveal makes things awkward, but Daniel is there

05:23:04.660 --> 05:23:07.620
to stop the clearance and shut down SSG's offense.

05:23:07.620 --> 05:23:13.560
reveal is that incredibly cheeky tribe which leave no dice extra touch on the

05:23:13.560 --> 05:23:17.080
rollback atomic for a little bit of help and reveal that's a great thing

05:23:17.080 --> 05:23:20.920
defensively and actually it's always like the demo is caught out on the goal line

05:23:20.920 --> 05:23:26.000
and it's wide but the demo comes through and there you said it's over

05:23:26.000 --> 05:23:30.680
beast no drives to nail as soon as Dan plays the high you know he is looking

05:23:30.680 --> 05:23:35.320
for the bump on bag that jumps and once that jumps he's kind of stuck

05:23:35.320 --> 05:23:40.280
there unless he tries to play high and like play it sit far high and just try to jump off his own bowl

05:23:40.280 --> 05:23:46.920
I was not thinking about he's thinking about just adjusting. He's not thinking about I gotta play Gale's bump and get a save at the same time

05:23:46.920 --> 05:23:51.760
It's just too hard too much there from the pressure NRG had SSG's number

05:23:51.760 --> 05:23:58.040
But SSG maybe can strike back here before the game's over they get a big field space, but NRG's gonna make him work for it. Oh

05:23:58.840 --> 05:24:00.960
And Zach let Daniel take his boost

05:24:00.960 --> 05:24:04.560
I think you get a lot of value out of confirming in our keys on the

05:24:04.560 --> 05:24:07.560
throw, but at the end of the day, it might not make too big a difference.

05:24:07.560 --> 05:24:09.960
There's still 90 seconds to find one goal.

05:24:10.960 --> 05:24:14.560
Daniel wisely taking the time there, just letting his teammates get reset.

05:24:16.360 --> 05:24:19.160
He had landed close, trying to wrap around the net.

05:24:20.160 --> 05:24:24.360
Zach wanted a piece of it, and Zach left a free position, revealed

05:24:24.360 --> 05:24:27.160
that on top of the ball, so good at cutting out the plane.

05:24:27.160 --> 05:24:30.600
Even creating if you get to bump there on beast mode, but they

05:24:32.200 --> 05:24:34.560
Bees are on the corner. We got a piece of it

05:24:35.560 --> 05:24:40.320
Atomic will play this with a high looking straight down not too challenging there for Diaz

05:24:40.360 --> 05:24:46.000
But this is a challenging position for space station gaming taking the ball from their own back wall with a minute to go

05:24:46.960 --> 05:24:52.400
So much room there for Zach, but you love to see beast mode break up and atomic wisely taking the time as well

05:24:52.400 --> 05:24:56.620
because they know it's clock is what's important make sure you go get boost if

05:24:56.620 --> 05:25:00.340
you're an RG don't want to be caught out in a bad spot like atomic immediately

05:25:00.340 --> 05:25:03.940
be turned was right back to his corner waits for the boost to spawn and now he's

05:25:03.940 --> 05:25:08.180
ready just take the big clear and reset don't think too much value yeah you know

05:25:08.180 --> 05:25:12.180
what reveal looking for a bump on Daniel Daniels able to dodge it and get a

05:25:12.180 --> 05:25:16.060
nice touch Diaz upfield was looking for something for our topic but atomic

05:25:16.060 --> 05:25:21.220
playing the 50 there looks for a follow just try to get past SSG S

05:25:21.220 --> 05:25:28.180
They get the G bring the ball away and now they will roll it towards that this one. Oh finally some space reveal

05:25:28.580 --> 05:25:32.100
Can't get past Eastmo final six seconds to game three

05:25:32.340 --> 05:25:37.120
Are we gonna see it? Are you take the lead of the series? That's a high ball. He has just a bump

05:25:37.120 --> 05:25:41.340
That doesn't have boost neither does reveal. How are they gonna make this play happen?

05:25:43.140 --> 05:25:45.020
Energy says yes, we know it's coming

05:25:45.020 --> 05:25:47.980
We know you got us in the house and they tried zero they all

05:25:47.980 --> 05:25:55.980
No, one guy go for the bump, one guy try to play the ball and realize that's kind of bouncing a little awkward and the only guy left also has zero.

05:25:55.980 --> 05:26:03.980
It's so important to make sure you get your feet set for that last push because if you go with nothing and nobody can actually do anything.

05:26:03.980 --> 05:26:08.980
NRG just walked right through the 50th throw to the floor and all of a sudden up to one of the series.

05:26:08.980 --> 05:26:13.980
Now that they've won two straight, do you take the time?

05:26:13.980 --> 05:26:16.380
You do and they had they have

05:26:21.060 --> 05:26:28.340
Game given up huge rates of NRG and they're not being able to get anything going on the scoring part here stuff in that close chances

05:26:28.340 --> 05:26:35.500
But I don't think they're controlling the game up as much as they would want to and I think the NRG know that as well

05:26:36.100 --> 05:26:38.100
They've been put in some tough spots here

05:26:38.100 --> 05:26:43.460
but the space station gaming do take the tactical time out here as they are down in this year.

05:26:43.460 --> 05:26:49.380
It's the year they could turn it on out. I feel like the biggest difference is really all in the

05:26:49.380 --> 05:26:56.420
challenge game for NRG, right? I mean, because they're never concerned, I feel like, about going

05:26:58.580 --> 05:27:02.100
as fast as they can or as hard as they can at any time. They're focused on

05:27:02.100 --> 05:27:05.540
on the situation, if that makes sense.

05:27:05.540 --> 05:27:07.900
The clock has three minutes, and it's 0-0?

05:27:07.900 --> 05:27:08.540
Right.

05:27:08.540 --> 05:27:09.460
Nothing matters.

05:27:09.460 --> 05:27:10.460
Don't do anything stupid.

05:27:10.460 --> 05:27:13.460
Don't force anything, because they're good.

05:27:13.460 --> 05:27:16.060
But we're just as good, if not better.

05:27:16.060 --> 05:27:20.340
And if they're thinking along the wavelength of its level,

05:27:20.340 --> 05:27:22.340
don't do anything stupid, they're

05:27:22.340 --> 05:27:23.780
betting on the long outcome.

05:27:23.780 --> 05:27:27.220
That's why a team like NRG can play three, four, five

05:27:27.220 --> 05:27:30.300
games with 26 minutes of overtime and win

05:27:30.300 --> 05:27:31.540
by one goal difference.

05:27:31.540 --> 05:27:36.940
right? It's a very long view. As Space Station feels like that, we're trying to take every

05:27:36.940 --> 05:27:45.300
opportunity we have as quickly as we can. And while that has its benefits to the seasoned

05:27:45.300 --> 05:27:50.620
world champion veterans in our G, it just looks like you're trying to do too much, right?

05:27:50.620 --> 05:27:58.540
Does that make sense? Yes, it does. That'd be like, when you look at it too, you have

05:27:58.540 --> 05:28:01.480
to think you have to think a bit of short-term and long-term

05:28:01.480 --> 05:28:05.000
here with NRG because you can see how they play kind of like

05:28:05.000 --> 05:28:06.440
on a macro level.

05:28:06.440 --> 05:28:10.680
But it is the micro game that has really been a big factor

05:28:10.680 --> 05:28:12.760
in how they're able to get, you know,

05:28:12.760 --> 05:28:15.520
getting that first goal, getting that first strike.

05:28:15.520 --> 05:28:17.120
They'll give you aggression.

05:28:17.120 --> 05:28:18.720
They'll cut off your boost and they'll make you

05:28:18.720 --> 05:28:22.480
stick play defense for a while just so they can make

05:28:22.480 --> 05:28:25.320
things look as clean and comfortable as possible.

05:28:25.320 --> 05:28:28.120
Last time we saw NRG play on this map

05:28:28.120 --> 05:28:31.680
and went to a, it puts a 11 minute overtime,

05:28:31.680 --> 05:28:33.580
10 minute overtime.

05:28:33.580 --> 05:28:36.240
We'll see if we get overtime here,

05:28:36.240 --> 05:28:39.880
or will SFG turn around the series?

05:28:39.880 --> 05:28:41.960
When here, it tightens up.

05:28:43.960 --> 05:28:47.200
Just feel like you gotta somebody do something big, right?

05:28:47.200 --> 05:28:49.240
SFG needs to have a spark, right?

05:28:49.240 --> 05:28:51.080
Someone's gotta do something to make them go,

05:28:51.080 --> 05:28:52.160
yeah, right?

05:28:52.160 --> 05:28:53.960
Cause right now, they just feel like they're sitting there

05:28:53.960 --> 05:28:56.240
playing defense simulator 2026,

05:28:56.240 --> 05:28:57.920
and that's a big pitch and a great try,

05:28:57.920 --> 05:28:59.920
That definitely might have got the engine started.

05:28:59.920 --> 05:29:01.920
Maybe it's still well, they find a way into the net.

05:29:01.920 --> 05:29:03.920
Daniel will get the ball away here at the midfield line.

05:29:03.920 --> 05:29:06.920
Actually a great follow through from atomic at B-Sport.

05:29:06.920 --> 05:29:08.920
We'll dodge the bump and make the clear.

05:29:08.920 --> 05:29:10.920
And SSG, they're trying to open it.

05:29:11.920 --> 05:29:13.920
Yeah, you look at SSG,

05:29:13.920 --> 05:29:17.920
or you even look at SSG, legally NRG, right?

05:29:17.920 --> 05:29:19.920
But as soon as you get to rebellion,

05:29:19.920 --> 05:29:22.920
you had big plays made from first killer, made from LJ.

05:29:22.920 --> 05:29:25.920
Even had his moments.

05:29:25.920 --> 05:29:31.920
Who's going to be that player that makes the big play on space station games?

05:29:31.920 --> 05:29:34.920
That's the question that needs to be answered.

05:29:34.920 --> 05:29:37.920
So far the physicality has been a bit of everybody.

05:29:37.920 --> 05:29:42.920
Zack, when he first got back on SSG, such a big impact.

05:29:42.920 --> 05:29:45.920
This series needed just a little bit more.

05:29:45.920 --> 05:29:49.920
Bill's been one of the few who's been able to get on the board.

05:29:49.920 --> 05:29:53.920
He's not the only one able to get on the board.

05:29:53.920 --> 05:29:56.920
and the Tommik gets a B here in the midfield,

05:29:56.920 --> 05:29:59.920
and more energy pressure to start off this game fourth.

05:29:59.920 --> 05:30:03.920
And it does feel like SSG just leave a little bit on the table, right?

05:30:03.920 --> 05:30:05.920
It feels like, hey, if our corner boost is up,

05:30:05.920 --> 05:30:07.920
and we've got two guys rotating for it,

05:30:07.920 --> 05:30:10.920
the guy with more boost is going to try and leave it for the other teammate, right?

05:30:10.920 --> 05:30:14.920
That's very logical to do, but I feel like NRG is so dialed into that

05:30:14.920 --> 05:30:16.920
that they understand that's the plan.

05:30:16.920 --> 05:30:18.920
They're not playing to attack the net, right?

05:30:18.920 --> 05:30:20.920
They're playing to attack the corner boost that just spawned.

05:30:20.920 --> 05:30:22.920
And so they're going to play it in such a way,

05:30:22.920 --> 05:30:25.120
Like, yeah, he's gonna try and leave it for his teammate.

05:30:25.120 --> 05:30:26.960
And then we're just gonna drive through,

05:30:26.960 --> 05:30:29.720
steal your corner boost, when you don't grab it.

05:30:29.720 --> 05:30:32.080
And now you're just giving us free advantage,

05:30:32.080 --> 05:30:33.960
bop bop, and that's, I feel,

05:30:33.960 --> 05:30:36.120
what's really kind of hands-turning the SSG

05:30:36.120 --> 05:30:36.960
on their own half.

05:30:36.960 --> 05:30:38.680
They're leaving things on the table

05:30:38.680 --> 05:30:40.440
for NRG to take advantage of,

05:30:40.440 --> 05:30:42.880
not so much making mistakes.

05:30:44.520 --> 05:30:47.200
Well, B-Smo gets a bit on stack.

05:30:47.200 --> 05:30:48.440
Back to have anything in the tank,

05:30:48.440 --> 05:30:50.200
B-Smo, what a quickie.

05:30:50.200 --> 05:30:53.200
Now, as I said, G will have boost coming back

05:30:53.200 --> 05:30:54.960
as they have to stop the angle.

05:30:54.960 --> 05:30:56.040
He's just in his own half.

05:30:56.040 --> 05:30:58.200
But yeah, you think of it like NRG,

05:30:58.200 --> 05:31:00.040
all very solid players enough.

05:31:00.040 --> 05:31:01.640
It's not playing the solo ball.

05:31:01.640 --> 05:31:03.400
OK, let's play the high ball.

05:31:03.400 --> 05:31:05.840
For skinny use boost, we'll take these from them

05:31:05.840 --> 05:31:07.240
at the same time.

05:31:07.240 --> 05:31:11.520
And then we'll strike with the most vulnerable.

05:31:11.520 --> 05:31:12.320
High ball.

05:31:12.320 --> 05:31:14.600
I mean, you smoke can't get a gig at this.

05:31:14.600 --> 05:31:15.600
Oh, no!

05:31:15.600 --> 05:31:17.000
Off the crossbar.

05:31:17.000 --> 05:31:18.520
A topic at the demo on the net,

05:31:18.520 --> 05:31:19.560
but it wasn't enough.

05:31:19.560 --> 05:31:20.840
Beastmo with a chance.

05:31:20.840 --> 05:31:22.160
Zach up to meet him.

05:31:22.160 --> 05:31:24.160
Atomic, another demo will reveal.

05:31:24.160 --> 05:31:25.840
And Daniel will keep it in.

05:31:25.840 --> 05:31:27.160
And can Atomic read this?

05:31:27.160 --> 05:31:28.760
Does read it going straight down,

05:31:28.760 --> 05:31:30.280
but he didn't get to follow.

05:31:30.280 --> 05:31:32.080
Beastmo shot a base!

05:31:32.080 --> 05:31:33.080
Hey!

05:31:33.080 --> 05:31:34.080
Ha ha ha!

05:31:34.080 --> 05:31:36.480
Surely, NRG's going to run out of puzzle pieces

05:31:36.480 --> 05:31:37.480
to throw the problem.

05:31:37.480 --> 05:31:38.960
Nope, they've got one more reveal.

05:31:38.960 --> 05:31:41.160
You thought you found it clear to safety.

05:31:41.160 --> 05:31:43.200
Nope, Beastmo just waiting over there

05:31:43.200 --> 05:31:45.840
on the right side for you to do just that.

05:31:45.840 --> 05:31:48.000
Slapping them down, right?

05:31:48.000 --> 05:31:51.000
One nail at RG, just under two to go.

05:31:51.000 --> 05:31:54.000
Very familiar situation in this series.

05:31:55.000 --> 05:31:59.000
I look at RG setting the tone and so much time taking off the clock.

05:31:59.000 --> 05:32:01.000
What can SSG do?

05:32:01.000 --> 05:32:03.000
Pass to reveal. Reveal. Shot.

05:32:03.000 --> 05:32:05.000
Atomic no boost. I made a good stop.

05:32:05.000 --> 05:32:07.000
Diaz wants to keep it in.

05:32:07.000 --> 05:32:11.000
But B smell to Daniel to clear it out.

05:32:11.000 --> 05:32:15.000
Daniel trying to play the 50 brings it all going back to SSG's back half.

05:32:15.000 --> 05:32:18.240
have no T-Boost, no hold on, Daniel won't boost yet,

05:32:18.240 --> 05:32:21.280
but he's able to cut out the play.

05:32:21.280 --> 05:32:22.480
But if you get the boost deal,

05:32:22.480 --> 05:32:24.120
you've got to take advantage of your SSG,

05:32:24.120 --> 05:32:26.440
you just do everything and RG's on zero,

05:32:26.440 --> 05:32:29.920
you can find a couple of good 50s in good shape.

05:32:29.920 --> 05:32:32.960
They don't know, it's clear they don't know.

05:32:32.960 --> 05:32:35.440
Now Daniel, transport field,

05:32:35.440 --> 05:32:37.280
this is a bump on reveal,

05:32:37.280 --> 05:32:39.120
reveal, look at our RG and everything will

05:32:39.120 --> 05:32:41.200
kind of just handle it up in the corner,

05:32:41.200 --> 05:32:42.840
but now in our G back on boost,

05:32:42.840 --> 05:32:45.240
Now, Daniel can control and read off the seal

05:32:45.240 --> 05:32:47.040
if he can get behind the edge of touch.

05:32:47.040 --> 05:32:48.800
Just didn't have enough in the tank for that.

05:32:48.800 --> 05:32:50.160
He'll take their corner boost

05:32:50.160 --> 05:32:52.360
to try to stay within his plane.

05:32:52.360 --> 05:32:53.800
And Beastmull works to attack,

05:32:53.800 --> 05:32:55.280
works his down when I was in the open space.

05:32:55.280 --> 05:32:57.760
Daniel does not hesitate, takes it.

05:32:57.760 --> 05:32:59.520
Beastmull top left!

05:32:59.520 --> 05:33:00.360
Oh, no!

05:33:00.360 --> 05:33:01.560
Oh, stop!

05:33:01.560 --> 05:33:04.640
Feels like SSG's starting to lose the plot here.

05:33:04.640 --> 05:33:06.960
And now you feel the pressure of NRG, I think.

05:33:06.960 --> 05:33:08.480
Is that what's gonna go in?

05:33:08.480 --> 05:33:11.080
Ah, if I say that, you can't be kidding me.

05:33:11.080 --> 05:33:14.440
They got two defensives in the dead house to get through.

05:33:14.440 --> 05:33:16.960
I mean, SSG looked dead in the water,

05:33:16.960 --> 05:33:18.080
and you're right, that's huge.

05:33:18.080 --> 05:33:22.200
How does that get through?

05:33:22.200 --> 05:33:25.480
We are still tied up 30 seconds to go.

05:33:25.480 --> 05:33:27.600
Energy unable to close this game out.

05:33:27.600 --> 05:33:30.840
SSG not only have they been given some life,

05:33:30.840 --> 05:33:33.080
they've been given a second win here.

05:33:33.080 --> 05:33:36.920
We're all tied up with the potential to go to overtime.

05:33:36.920 --> 05:33:39.640
Zack, they want to chase that Diaz, getting some bumps.

05:33:39.640 --> 05:33:43.080
Zack has revealed, it only has a little boost after shoot.

05:33:43.080 --> 05:33:44.680
Diaz keeps it close.

05:33:44.680 --> 05:33:48.000
Final take, and Diaz opt off the ceiling.

05:33:48.000 --> 05:33:49.960
Has a flip reset, a problem, no boost.

05:33:49.960 --> 05:33:51.880
Beastmo only one with boost, takes the time.

05:33:51.880 --> 05:33:53.760
Oh, jammed on the corner,

05:33:53.760 --> 05:33:57.440
and now potential for OTL, let Diaz construct, no.

05:33:57.440 --> 05:33:59.400
Can't get it center, it's gonna,

05:33:59.400 --> 05:34:00.560
it looks like it'll hit the ground.

05:34:00.560 --> 05:34:02.480
Why does Diaz keep it up, there we go.

05:34:02.480 --> 05:34:05.480
Over time, the game four.

05:34:05.480 --> 05:34:08.680
Beastmo with such a smart play with the ending regulation

05:34:08.680 --> 05:34:10.760
There comes out of his own half, he had zero boost,

05:34:10.760 --> 05:34:13.120
but like you said, SSG doesn't know that earlier.

05:34:13.120 --> 05:34:15.760
He went in hot, hit the brakes, drew the guy in,

05:34:15.760 --> 05:34:18.160
and then just power shot it into the SSG corner.

05:34:18.160 --> 05:34:21.680
Zack makes a stop, start with a TTS call, turn it around!

05:34:21.680 --> 05:34:24.760
And Daniel will turn it in at three-mail energy!

05:34:25.760 --> 05:34:30.600
And NRG, take the OT in game four.

05:34:31.960 --> 05:34:35.440
Nine minutes and 45 seconds faster

05:34:35.440 --> 05:34:37.280
than the last time they were on that field.

05:34:37.280 --> 05:34:41.160
They said, okay, let's move on.

05:34:41.160 --> 05:34:44.760
They have the finals here on match point.

05:34:44.760 --> 05:34:47.720
They knew they should have won that game in regulation

05:34:47.720 --> 05:34:49.840
and they handled business in overtime.

05:34:49.840 --> 05:34:52.800
Fatigue, there's fatigue, there's space,

05:34:52.800 --> 05:34:55.800
they should have outflagged them.

05:34:55.800 --> 05:34:57.120
They said, yeah, fatigue.

05:34:57.120 --> 05:34:58.800
That's why we're out here trying to win this

05:34:58.800 --> 05:35:01.360
in as few games as possible.

05:35:01.360 --> 05:35:05.880
Take a look here at the numbers,

05:35:05.880 --> 05:35:08.520
Play demos for Tom and three from beast mode.

05:35:08.520 --> 05:35:15.120
You look at the assist all atomic as atomic is had quite the

05:35:15.120 --> 05:35:18.680
right here, especially in the last, this series and the last.

05:35:19.120 --> 05:35:21.920
He had been phenomenal to NRG success.

05:35:23.520 --> 05:35:26.080
And he's throwing wrenches at the gears and defenses.

05:35:26.080 --> 05:35:27.560
He's came alive.

05:35:27.960 --> 05:35:30.240
He's got Daniel there to back him up at the midfield.

05:35:30.240 --> 05:35:32.480
So he's never scared of being aggressive.

05:35:32.920 --> 05:35:35.640
It really is the three headed hydro for NRG and space

05:35:35.640 --> 05:35:40.640
They should fight looking incredible in their previous match.

05:35:40.640 --> 05:35:43.640
You hate to say it, there's still levels to this game, man.

05:35:45.640 --> 05:35:49.640
Offending world champions on the side of NRG.

05:35:49.640 --> 05:35:55.640
And even though you try to change the narrative every once in a while,

05:35:55.640 --> 05:35:57.640
you see them not looking weak.

05:35:57.640 --> 05:36:01.640
But, you know, we had the conversation on first touch.

05:36:01.640 --> 05:36:02.640
NRG are just a comfort pick.

05:36:02.640 --> 05:36:07.400
And this is one of the reasons why they just get the job done

05:36:08.480 --> 05:36:13.680
At the end of the day, I mean this team knows how to face adversity and knows how to level up

05:36:13.680 --> 05:36:19.000
When you need them to question maybe now my can it close it out here

05:36:19.800 --> 05:36:21.800
atomic hot balls that

05:36:21.800 --> 05:36:25.320
Get the clearance to reveal. What does that sense G have now?

05:36:25.320 --> 05:36:30.160
We saw a situation like this before it was with rebellion a rebellion

05:36:30.160 --> 05:36:33.000
We're able to turn the series around bring it to the distance.

05:36:33.640 --> 05:36:35.300
What can I say, G do the same.

05:36:36.400 --> 05:36:38.300
Daniel making sure don't get hit.

05:36:38.500 --> 05:36:40.200
We know that's what's coming.

05:36:40.200 --> 05:36:43.740
Makes a nice easy save and B-Smoot arm cool collected air dribble.

05:36:43.740 --> 05:36:45.280
He knows he's not beating three people.

05:36:45.280 --> 05:36:46.980
It's just about pulling them out.

05:36:46.980 --> 05:36:49.080
Daniel finds the ball makes it a free ball.

05:36:49.720 --> 05:36:51.280
B-Smoot will give his life for it.

05:36:51.280 --> 05:36:54.480
Tom, if you got to close the gap, then he will come up empty in there.

05:36:54.560 --> 05:36:55.520
That's what I'm talking about.

05:36:55.520 --> 05:36:56.760
Daniel just keep it solid.

05:36:56.760 --> 05:36:58.260
He's not scared of being aggressive

05:36:58.260 --> 05:37:01.700
because he knows Daniel will cover for it.

05:37:01.700 --> 05:37:02.700
And does he?

05:37:02.700 --> 05:37:04.380
As Tomic gets back into the play,

05:37:04.380 --> 05:37:05.580
look how fast Tomic is.

05:37:05.580 --> 05:37:07.740
As Tomic went for the last ball, failed the redirect,

05:37:07.740 --> 05:37:11.260
immediately turned on a dive and went for the ball again.

05:37:11.260 --> 05:37:12.460
Daniel floating.

05:37:12.460 --> 05:37:14.580
Atomic got bumped into that.

05:37:14.580 --> 05:37:17.780
Zack, light touch trying to get behind you two for the dunk,

05:37:17.780 --> 05:37:19.380
but just not possible.

05:37:19.380 --> 05:37:21.380
Daniel will get credited with the save.

05:37:21.380 --> 05:37:23.860
He's already got two here at the first minute or so.

05:37:23.860 --> 05:37:25.380
Oh, oh, but that's a good look.

05:37:25.380 --> 05:37:29.860
and PS will score SSG to the lead.

05:37:29.860 --> 05:37:33.860
I think it was Beast Mode going out to midfield,

05:37:33.860 --> 05:37:35.820
expecting Daniel to come up with that challenge.

05:37:35.820 --> 05:37:38.100
But Tomic I think got forced into the air

05:37:38.100 --> 05:37:39.620
because he was trying to dodge a bump

05:37:39.620 --> 05:37:41.380
and I think he just decided to commit

05:37:41.380 --> 05:37:43.660
because he knew Daniel didn't have the boost

05:37:43.660 --> 05:37:44.980
is what I think happened.

05:37:44.980 --> 05:37:48.340
But either way, SSG do sneak through

05:37:48.340 --> 05:37:50.620
and get themselves a nice early goal

05:37:50.620 --> 05:37:51.780
so they can hold on to it.

05:37:51.780 --> 05:37:53.380
The last time they scored first,

05:37:53.380 --> 05:37:58.660
They did have a good couple of minutes over on the attacking side, keeping NRG boxed in.

05:37:58.660 --> 05:37:59.980
They're gonna need to do it again.

05:38:00.860 --> 05:38:05.500
They are trying to, in fact, turn here, but not enough to keep it in play.

05:38:05.500 --> 05:38:10.140
They want to make an awkward for beast mode and reveal low boost here in the midfield.

05:38:10.140 --> 05:38:14.140
He's actually gonna leave this free midfield here for NRG.

05:38:14.420 --> 05:38:16.020
Do you want to give that to him?

05:38:16.100 --> 05:38:17.180
I don't think you do.

05:38:17.340 --> 05:38:18.980
We're back tied up just like that.

05:38:20.140 --> 05:38:22.860
Not that lead who's gonna last this is G-Not this time.

05:38:22.860 --> 05:38:24.980
Zack, and can he might get the bump?

05:38:24.980 --> 05:38:25.860
Actually, no.

05:38:25.860 --> 05:38:26.860
It's you going down.

05:38:26.860 --> 05:38:28.820
Your teammate in the corner still

05:38:28.820 --> 05:38:33.060
hasn't had the boost spawn in RG to walk in.

05:38:33.060 --> 05:38:36.940
Again, it goes back to you saw if you look at it on a wider

05:38:36.940 --> 05:38:39.180
shot, you'll see revealed third man,

05:38:39.180 --> 05:38:40.700
not even over half.

05:38:40.700 --> 05:38:42.140
Oh, goodness.

05:38:42.140 --> 05:38:44.580
Oh, he's in trouble, but he does get the touch.

05:38:44.580 --> 05:38:48.340
And you see him with low boost there in that situation.

05:38:48.340 --> 05:38:50.820
Instead of like trying to force the challenge

05:38:50.820 --> 05:38:52.340
and buy his team some time, he

05:38:52.340 --> 05:38:54.060
just goes back and lets them.

05:38:54.060 --> 05:38:57.380
No, this time though, he gets into it.

05:38:57.380 --> 05:39:00.220
And now SSG regaining the lead.

05:39:00.220 --> 05:39:01.420
Just give the ball to Zach.

05:39:01.420 --> 05:39:03.540
He's showing he's got a head for the 50s

05:39:03.540 --> 05:39:04.500
in the previous series.

05:39:04.500 --> 05:39:07.500
Look at that, just driving beast mode further and further

05:39:07.500 --> 05:39:08.140
into the net.

05:39:08.140 --> 05:39:10.540
Gives this teammate an opportunity.

05:39:10.540 --> 05:39:11.980
SSG back out in front.

05:39:11.980 --> 05:39:13.580
They will not go away quietly.

05:39:13.580 --> 05:39:16.660
You can bet on that.

05:39:16.660 --> 05:39:20.820
All right, two goals here for SSG, game five, two-one

05:39:20.820 --> 05:39:24.820
We push the halfway mark, Zach will start us off.

05:39:24.820 --> 05:39:27.820
Big B-Smo trying to cut into midfield.

05:39:27.820 --> 05:39:29.820
Damn, wide turn, not gonna go here.

05:39:29.820 --> 05:39:31.820
Let's Diaz give him the ball.

05:39:31.820 --> 05:39:33.820
Tommy will pick up the boost.

05:39:33.820 --> 05:39:35.820
Diaz a little late back here this time.

05:39:35.820 --> 05:39:37.820
Diaz looking for a bump on B-Smo.

05:39:37.820 --> 05:39:39.820
Let up a lane for reveal.

05:39:39.820 --> 05:39:42.820
B-Smo though, the heavy toucher forced him into a fifth gear.

05:39:42.820 --> 05:39:44.820
And Diaz will get the ball too.

05:39:44.820 --> 05:39:46.820
And our G kind of, you know,

05:39:46.820 --> 05:39:48.820
threatening with the look of the passes

05:39:48.820 --> 05:39:54.820
Damn, just again, making SSG feel like it's not a free ball by throwing and flipping upfield with no boost there.

05:39:55.820 --> 05:39:58.820
Man, if I had a little bit of time, it's a quick redirect.

05:40:00.820 --> 05:40:04.820
Dang, he's easy tap off his back wall and he has to make another stop, man.

05:40:04.820 --> 05:40:09.820
Look at the read, he saw the touch off his wall coming down after it, and he has backpulsed it!

05:40:10.820 --> 05:40:13.820
It will come through, there he is on the right side!

05:40:13.820 --> 05:40:18.820
A lot of misdirection here for SSG and that's exactly what they need.

05:40:18.820 --> 05:40:23.820
Even though that one hit the woodwork, the boost on at the appropriate time for Zach picked it up,

05:40:23.820 --> 05:40:27.820
banked the goal, two goal lead here for space station gaming.

05:40:27.820 --> 05:40:33.820
Everybody getting involved in the story here as they all share a goal and an assist.

05:40:33.820 --> 05:40:36.820
They have started to surge with their backs against the wall.

05:40:36.820 --> 05:40:39.820
Oh, Zach, that's a great time to squeeze.

05:40:39.820 --> 05:40:42.820
Now you know what RGS to make something happen.

05:40:42.820 --> 05:40:48.820
I really thought NRG was going to throw out a kickoff strat there, but maybe they think they can score and the last kickoff will be where it's at.

05:40:48.820 --> 05:40:49.820
Oh, oh, oh!

05:40:49.820 --> 05:40:53.820
At that right, Beast Mode up to the ceiling, Flippery sending over two.

05:40:54.820 --> 05:40:57.820
Boost mode at a time, and look at that!

05:40:57.820 --> 05:41:04.820
Got the flip off the first touch, dodged the channel, and it used it to get into the bottom right corner.

05:41:04.820 --> 05:41:06.820
Beast Mode, the player you are.

05:41:06.820 --> 05:41:07.820
Wow.

05:41:07.820 --> 05:41:09.820
What a gov.

05:41:09.820 --> 05:41:12.980
And again, they really don't do much kickoff stride.

05:41:12.980 --> 05:41:15.460
I guess they went for a hard cheat, plus bump disruption

05:41:15.460 --> 05:41:15.980
in the corner.

05:41:15.980 --> 05:41:16.860
He went, whoa.

05:41:16.860 --> 05:41:17.700
Don't tell me you see him.

05:41:17.700 --> 05:41:18.460
I didn't wait for him.

05:41:18.460 --> 05:41:19.420
Don't tell me you see him.

05:41:19.420 --> 05:41:21.420
What?

05:41:21.420 --> 05:41:22.380
Look at that.

05:41:22.380 --> 05:41:24.860
I get to see that touch again.

05:41:24.860 --> 05:41:26.300
There's the flip.

05:41:26.300 --> 05:41:28.740
He immediately backfliped, and yeah,

05:41:28.740 --> 05:41:30.580
that was a lot of power.

05:41:30.580 --> 05:41:33.740
On the two cheese, he had no quick to jump point

05:41:33.740 --> 05:41:34.060
at two.

05:41:34.060 --> 05:41:37.180
His positioning was necessary there.

05:41:37.180 --> 05:41:40.420
He got bumped as he like backfliped into the ball

05:41:40.420 --> 05:41:42.820
so it looked like it should have come off so soft.

05:41:42.820 --> 05:41:44.780
But what can you do?

05:41:44.780 --> 05:41:46.700
The math says he hit it.

05:41:49.540 --> 05:41:51.460
Oh gosh.

05:41:51.460 --> 05:41:54.260
Zack here, last back, you're gonna tend to go.

05:41:54.260 --> 05:41:57.620
It looks like SSG are gonna keep a firm grip here

05:41:57.620 --> 05:42:00.340
on this game unless all of that happens

05:42:00.340 --> 05:42:03.780
like that, Dan just goes far right under the bar.

05:42:03.780 --> 05:42:05.460
Hey, you gotta make something happen.

05:42:05.460 --> 05:42:08.580
He says, I'm going to take away a little bit of space.

05:42:08.580 --> 05:42:10.180
And boy, does he deliver sack.

05:42:10.180 --> 05:42:11.540
Just coming down off the backboard,

05:42:11.540 --> 05:42:13.540
he thought someone on his team was going to have a touch.

05:42:13.540 --> 05:42:16.340
And he goes, wait, why is Daniel shooting up my neck?

05:42:16.340 --> 05:42:18.900
He just couldn't stop it.

05:42:18.900 --> 05:42:19.820
Four goals.

05:42:19.820 --> 05:42:21.540
I mean, this is the best.

05:42:21.540 --> 05:42:25.060
I says, G's offense has looked all series wrong.

05:42:25.060 --> 05:42:27.420
They can't let this one get away from him.

05:42:27.420 --> 05:42:29.020
He was chained in like this.

05:42:29.020 --> 05:42:30.300
Maybe it will.

05:42:30.300 --> 05:42:31.780
Oh, he used it for baseball.

05:42:31.780 --> 05:42:36.400
Oh, it's just an ARG, the team that you are!

05:42:36.400 --> 05:42:37.740
Wow!

05:42:37.740 --> 05:42:39.980
Oh, and it starts with such a weird fall.

05:42:39.980 --> 05:42:41.580
You think, oh, Tommy just biffed it?

05:42:41.580 --> 05:42:42.220
Nope.

05:42:42.220 --> 05:42:44.500
It's just to have these more come around the backside

05:42:44.500 --> 05:42:47.460
of the ball and float one into the right side of the net.

05:42:47.460 --> 05:42:49.140
It's not that hard, guys.

05:42:49.140 --> 05:42:52.620
Just pass the ball around.

05:42:52.620 --> 05:42:59.420
Just the movement from the ARG just so pristine.

05:42:59.420 --> 05:43:06.620
And there's so much more time in the game that the Grand Finals might be over NRG continue to keep this up.

05:43:06.620 --> 05:43:11.620
SSG, you've given your best punch, but NRG's been able to match the pace.

05:43:11.620 --> 05:43:17.020
Final 30 seconds, Beast mode on top of the ball, atomic, off the back wall.

05:43:17.020 --> 05:43:22.820
And here you are! It takes the lead for NRG, the king of the North Card Front!

05:43:22.820 --> 05:43:24.820
Space station can't believe it

05:43:25.940 --> 05:43:35.080
Absolutely shocked there ahead three to one in this one and they're gonna lose five to four as it stands. Oh my goodness

05:43:36.220 --> 05:43:39.540
You could feel the momentum shift in the server

05:43:41.420 --> 05:43:45.160
Is this LS SG go out reveal

05:43:45.160 --> 05:43:48.160
trying to bring it downfield.

05:43:48.160 --> 05:43:50.120
Final 15 seconds.

05:43:50.120 --> 05:43:53.880
Beast mode, up quick, great first touch, gets the follow,

05:43:53.880 --> 05:43:56.040
shots extended down, deal, jumps,

05:43:56.040 --> 05:43:57.440
a comic will play it high.

05:43:57.440 --> 05:43:58.880
Six seconds to go.

05:43:58.880 --> 05:44:01.280
As there's G, you need to go the length of the field.

05:44:01.280 --> 05:44:03.840
Can't let the ball touch the ground, it's zero,

05:44:03.840 --> 05:44:05.840
and it dies!

05:44:05.840 --> 05:44:10.080
And RG takes off in six!

05:44:10.080 --> 05:44:14.000
The kings of the north, back in front!

05:44:14.000 --> 05:44:19.160
They had to get one and finally a smile from statue there.

05:44:19.160 --> 05:44:22.400
It felt like every game he's won today afterwards.

05:44:22.400 --> 05:44:26.720
It's been the flat, strictly business air down and there.

05:44:26.720 --> 05:44:28.200
They finally come out on top.

05:44:28.200 --> 05:44:31.000
They get the regional win and there's this G on the other side

05:44:31.000 --> 05:44:34.120
like, man, I can't believe it.

05:44:34.120 --> 05:44:36.520
We couldn't do anything versus those guys.

05:44:36.520 --> 05:44:37.800
And we were on fire.

05:44:40.800 --> 05:44:43.800
You know, some people say it's not a North American

05:44:43.800 --> 05:44:50.760
split. If NRG don't take at least one grand final, they show up and they get the job done

05:44:50.760 --> 05:44:55.480
here. And what a time to do it right before the Paris major. There were a lot of doubts

05:44:55.480 --> 05:45:01.560
coming into this opening. Whether or not they would be able to, whether they still had

05:45:01.560 --> 05:45:07.160
it in the tank. And they sure answered a lot of questions here with their playchecks.

05:45:07.160 --> 05:45:09.800
Yeah, the biggest one, where do you power in from now?

05:45:09.800 --> 05:45:11.600
Oh, drop of fire's the best.

05:45:11.600 --> 05:45:13.200
Oh, maybe space station.

05:45:13.200 --> 05:45:16.120
Ah, it was always NRG.

05:45:16.120 --> 05:45:18.120
Come on.

05:45:18.120 --> 05:45:19.440
Good big win for him.

05:45:19.440 --> 05:45:20.800
Well done, guys.

05:45:20.800 --> 05:45:25.040
A big win and a big day as NRG.

05:45:25.040 --> 05:45:27.040
Take NA open six.

05:45:27.040 --> 05:45:28.040
What a day for NRG.

05:45:28.040 --> 05:45:29.720
What a day for NA Rocket League,

05:45:29.720 --> 05:45:33.000
as we send it back to the desk to close out the day.

05:45:33.000 --> 05:45:34.920
Through all the tosses and turns,

05:45:34.920 --> 05:45:36.960
through all the roller coaster journeys,

05:45:36.960 --> 05:45:42.520
One thing remains NRG are your North American regional champs.

05:45:42.520 --> 05:45:44.520
And we talk like this is crazy.

05:45:44.520 --> 05:45:48.000
They won half the regionals this season, James.

05:45:48.000 --> 05:45:48.480
They did.

05:45:48.480 --> 05:45:51.200
I mean, you wanted them to be back.

05:45:51.200 --> 05:45:55.600
But this pulse split in North America was a power struggle.

05:45:55.600 --> 05:45:59.440
NRG finishing number one the last open feels right.

05:45:59.440 --> 05:45:59.920
It feels right.

05:45:59.920 --> 05:46:02.280
But still big picture.

05:46:02.280 --> 05:46:05.080
Three different regionals, three different winners.

05:46:05.080 --> 05:46:08.080
It feels like North America is in an amazing spot,

05:46:08.080 --> 05:46:09.640
looking ahead to Paris,

05:46:09.640 --> 05:46:11.560
an opportunity to go really show

05:46:11.560 --> 05:46:12.920
what North America's made up.

05:46:12.920 --> 05:46:15.520
But for NRG, this was a hard five victory.

05:46:15.520 --> 05:46:18.280
You know, it's almost the reverse

05:46:18.280 --> 05:46:19.480
of what the first split was.

05:46:19.480 --> 05:46:21.240
First split, they fell on their face,

05:46:21.240 --> 05:46:23.200
the first open and brought it back.

05:46:23.200 --> 05:46:26.680
Now they end with a super strong performance.

05:46:26.680 --> 05:46:30.280
So amazing stuff from NRG.

05:46:30.280 --> 05:46:31.600
Yeah, my baits.

05:46:31.600 --> 05:46:37.800
I tuned out at a certain point in Game 4, we're going to Game 5 and here we are with

05:46:37.800 --> 05:46:45.280
a 5-4 NRG win to cement themselves as the number one seed by the way, going into Paris.

05:46:45.280 --> 05:46:47.960
They are the top team in North America for Paris seeding.

05:46:47.960 --> 05:46:51.920
They're like waiting until the final minute, don't they, T-Bates?

05:46:51.920 --> 05:46:52.920
To win?

05:46:52.920 --> 05:46:54.720
Yeah, they turned it on.

05:46:54.720 --> 05:46:55.720
They turned it on.

05:46:55.720 --> 05:46:56.720
They just go win the game?

05:46:56.720 --> 05:46:57.720
Yeah, yeah.

05:46:57.720 --> 05:46:59.960
and actually surprising too because we were talking about it.

05:47:00.960 --> 05:47:02.920
We were all saying, oh great, it can't close again

05:47:02.920 --> 05:47:04.360
because they've been having an issue with that.

05:47:04.360 --> 05:47:05.320
It's been closing.

05:47:05.320 --> 05:47:07.920
Individual games are also closing out series

05:47:07.920 --> 05:47:10.960
when they're up and they storm back in game five

05:47:10.960 --> 05:47:11.800
to put them away.

05:47:11.800 --> 05:47:13.040
And we needed a Daniel interview.

05:47:13.040 --> 05:47:14.800
I know Chad saw it, I saw it.

05:47:14.800 --> 05:47:16.960
I've never seen Daniel that animated after series.

05:47:16.960 --> 05:47:17.800
What the heck?

05:47:17.800 --> 05:47:20.880
And he was making a sap you laugh.

05:47:20.880 --> 05:47:22.640
I said, what is going on here?

05:47:22.640 --> 05:47:25.160
Daniel was chirping after that game was over.

05:47:25.160 --> 05:47:26.000
We needed a Daniel interview.

05:47:26.000 --> 05:47:26.840
I don't know if we're going to get him,

05:47:26.840 --> 05:47:32.440
But I mean, they come out on top and wave, you said, you put it, you convinced, you convinced me and James even when we had a little bit of doubt.

05:47:32.640 --> 05:47:37.200
Say the words they were inevitable, utterly inevitable here.

05:47:37.400 --> 05:47:39.560
NRG back on top yet again.

05:47:39.760 --> 05:47:49.960
Space station had dropped two games in this weekend of play and they dropped four here in the grand finals, including a three goal lead, a two goal lead they had there.

05:47:50.160 --> 05:47:54.200
They dropped three goals there in the final minute of game four to secure the number two seed.

05:47:54.200 --> 05:48:00.200
Number two seed going into Paris major. They gotta feel good about who how they played and who they are

05:48:01.000 --> 05:48:03.000
squad

05:48:03.480 --> 05:48:06.840
Riggers off the top man. That's what I don't mean. We're figuring out so listen

05:48:06.840 --> 05:48:10.920
I'm sure you reckon figure that out bad that how he knows that he'll let us know bad the meantime though

05:48:11.400 --> 05:48:13.400
I mean that's that G

05:48:13.720 --> 05:48:15.720
They look pretty good the whole entire

05:48:16.040 --> 05:48:19.280
I was guessing say wrote the parents like they didn't always improve but I mean

05:48:19.280 --> 05:48:25.560
when it was two winnows, they simply got too much for it in this particular grand final games.

05:48:25.560 --> 05:48:32.680
Yeah, and NRG does have that comeback potential. I mean you like in specific games like I've seen

05:48:32.680 --> 05:48:37.080
them this year beat down by three with less than a minute left and they've been able to

05:48:37.080 --> 05:48:41.800
bring these games back. So I feel like pretty much no matter the scoreline, you know, up to

05:48:41.800 --> 05:48:48.400
three goals, they can find ways to get back in those games. They have another key overtime

05:48:48.400 --> 05:48:55.720
winner there from Daniel. Despite difficult over times to start out the open, NRG though,

05:48:55.720 --> 05:48:59.840
the synergy is there. They play such a beautiful game. I love watching them play rocky league.

05:48:59.840 --> 05:49:05.880
They play unlike any other team in NA. Well, we have another interview with world

05:49:05.880 --> 05:49:12.040
champion and regional champion beast mode. Sir, congratulations on the win. What a long

05:49:12.040 --> 05:49:17.960
day. Where's the energy at right now? I mean, it's on an all time high. It's

05:49:17.960 --> 05:49:19.320
with the team and everything.

05:49:19.320 --> 05:49:22.200
It feels good to be, obviously, winning the regional again

05:49:22.200 --> 05:49:24.800
after everyone's saying that we're falling off slumping,

05:49:24.800 --> 05:49:25.640
you know what I'm saying?

05:49:25.640 --> 05:49:29.280
So it feels good to obviously get the win in the year.

05:49:31.480 --> 05:49:32.720
Oh, is my turn to answer the question?

05:49:32.720 --> 05:49:33.560
Oh, okay.

05:49:33.560 --> 05:49:38.080
First off, Linda, congratulations on your win, brother.

05:49:38.080 --> 05:49:38.920
Y'all dug deep.

05:49:38.920 --> 05:49:39.760
Y'all dug deep.

05:49:39.760 --> 05:49:42.760
Shopify gave y'all a tough out.

05:49:42.760 --> 05:49:43.760
They're looking really pretty good,

05:49:43.760 --> 05:49:45.480
but I guess y'all just looking that much better.

05:49:45.480 --> 05:49:46.320
It's a little bit better.

05:49:46.320 --> 05:49:47.280
Nothing to get the job done.

05:49:47.280 --> 05:49:51.280
I got a question man. Listen, what was Daniel saying after the game?

05:49:51.280 --> 05:49:53.280
I've never seen him that animated well, obviously.

05:49:53.280 --> 05:49:56.280
I've never seen him that animated after the interview, but he was sharp.

05:49:56.280 --> 05:49:57.280
He was a sharp sharp.

05:49:57.280 --> 05:49:58.280
And he even got sappy last.

05:49:58.280 --> 05:50:01.280
Well, what was going on in the comments after y'all got that W?

05:50:01.280 --> 05:50:03.280
Um, is that my the Shopify W?

05:50:03.280 --> 05:50:05.280
No, the SSG W.

05:50:05.280 --> 05:50:06.280
Oh, I see.

05:50:06.280 --> 05:50:08.280
Oh, was he talking about it?

05:50:08.280 --> 05:50:09.280
Okay, yeah.

05:50:09.280 --> 05:50:11.280
We were talking a lot through both matches.

05:50:11.280 --> 05:50:12.280
But I mean, it's really homeless.

05:50:12.280 --> 05:50:16.280
I mean, I can't really say what we were saying to y'all.

05:50:16.280 --> 05:50:20.440
really hikes and just like I mean kind of just try guys trash talking like you

05:50:20.440 --> 05:50:23.240
know we're the best man like come on like we we should we should just be

05:50:23.240 --> 05:50:25.800
winning this and we're the better team everything said at that but yeah just

05:50:25.800 --> 05:50:30.360
good vibes and all of us are super happy so yeah I got a question for you

05:50:30.360 --> 05:50:35.800
uh beast mode you know I was following you guys all weekend long uh were you

05:50:35.800 --> 05:50:38.520
guys paying attention to how much overtime you were playing were you

05:50:38.520 --> 05:50:44.600
talking about that or was it just you know were you just doing your job

05:50:44.600 --> 05:50:49.000
a little bit of both. Yeah, after after the shop of five when I think I seen something that that was the longest

05:50:49.000 --> 05:50:53.720
I don't know something about the ot I don't know. We broke a lot of records. We keep breaking records, but not for the record

05:50:54.840 --> 05:50:59.800
So, uh, yeah, it's it's a little exhaust. But yeah, it's it's been pretty crazy with me. I mean

05:51:00.920 --> 05:51:06.520
You do you have you have back when you guys were representing g2 and you played furia in the world championship

05:51:06.520 --> 05:51:11.320
You had the longest best of seven of all time where you won and then you also now the second

05:51:11.320 --> 05:51:16.320
longest best of seven of all time which you also won. What is it about this team

05:51:16.320 --> 05:51:20.480
that manages to always clutch up when the road gets long like this?

05:51:20.480 --> 05:51:25.520
I don't know. I mean the easy answer is obviously to say how long we've been

05:51:25.520 --> 05:51:29.160
together. I think a lot of teams obviously miss that and like you know

05:51:29.160 --> 05:51:32.200
being together three years we always back back each other up and just we've

05:51:32.200 --> 05:51:36.920
been through so many parts together so whenever we go down or whenever we

05:51:36.920 --> 05:51:40.440
were in a long overtime we're just so used to it together and we're so you

05:51:40.440 --> 05:51:42.220
You know, just we have that 10 with each other.

05:51:42.220 --> 05:51:43.780
So I think that's, you know, that plays a big part

05:51:43.780 --> 05:51:45.900
and just, you know, just being there for each other

05:51:45.900 --> 05:51:46.900
while we're going through it.

05:51:46.900 --> 05:51:47.740
So, yeah.

05:51:48.900 --> 05:51:50.340
Well, you guys are going.

05:51:50.340 --> 05:51:51.180
Oh, sorry.

05:51:51.180 --> 05:51:53.820
I have one class question because I love,

05:51:53.820 --> 05:51:56.620
you guys, your pre-jumps are so fun to watch.

05:51:56.620 --> 05:51:58.180
When you guys are going for pre-jumps,

05:51:58.180 --> 05:51:59.900
are you even calling out that you're pre-jumping?

05:51:59.900 --> 05:52:01.300
Are you guys just like up

05:52:01.300 --> 05:52:03.220
and you the synergy telepathy?

05:52:03.220 --> 05:52:04.700
He's just like, he sees me.

05:52:04.700 --> 05:52:07.620
Like how does it, how are you doing it?

05:52:07.620 --> 05:52:08.460
I don't know.

05:52:08.460 --> 05:52:09.420
It's honestly on and off to be honest.

05:52:09.420 --> 05:52:11.820
Sometimes we honestly don't say anything.

05:52:11.820 --> 05:52:13.580
It's complete signs for like five seconds

05:52:13.580 --> 05:52:15.420
and kind of just see each other doing it.

05:52:15.420 --> 05:52:17.740
And then sometimes we say it like five seconds

05:52:17.740 --> 05:52:18.580
before it happens.

05:52:18.580 --> 05:52:20.860
Or it's a bunch of different cases

05:52:20.860 --> 05:52:22.380
where we're telling each other what to do.

05:52:22.380 --> 05:52:23.620
We just kind of listen to each other.

05:52:23.620 --> 05:52:25.340
It's like, it just depends on the moment.

05:52:25.340 --> 05:52:26.780
There's a lot of factors that go into it.

05:52:26.780 --> 05:52:30.140
But yeah, it's one of those three options, I would say.

05:52:30.140 --> 05:52:31.140
Well, it's fantastic to watch.

05:52:31.140 --> 05:52:32.100
Can I have one more bunch of weight?

05:52:32.100 --> 05:52:32.940
Oh, never mind.

05:52:32.940 --> 05:52:34.260
Can I have one more bunch of weight?

05:52:34.260 --> 05:52:36.260
People are like, let me out of here.

05:52:36.260 --> 05:52:37.100
I don't know.

05:52:37.100 --> 05:52:38.100
We're going to keep them just a little bit longer,

05:52:38.100 --> 05:52:38.600
OK?

05:52:38.600 --> 05:52:42.020
All right, Bees, y'all secure Paris.

05:52:43.180 --> 05:52:45.220
What's the preparation like now?

05:52:45.220 --> 05:52:46.300
Can't shift in gears now.

05:52:46.300 --> 05:52:48.180
You got big major.

05:52:48.180 --> 05:52:50.540
They claim it's gonna be the biggest crowd ever out there.

05:52:50.540 --> 05:52:53.500
You already know you like France last year.

05:52:53.500 --> 05:52:54.340
What year?

05:52:54.340 --> 05:52:56.300
So you went over to France, you handled your business.

05:52:56.300 --> 05:52:58.900
So what's the preparation looking like now for Paris?

05:53:00.340 --> 05:53:03.540
So I think, obviously starting off the split,

05:53:03.540 --> 05:53:05.580
we weren't really in the groove of finding things.

05:53:05.580 --> 05:53:07.820
I think in this, the original, we really prepared

05:53:07.820 --> 05:53:11.340
really focused on our playstyle a lot and that's you know it's a big preparation kind of just get

05:53:11.340 --> 05:53:16.300
into the flow of things and realizing that it's pretty much all on us um and for the Paris match

05:53:16.300 --> 05:53:21.500
I'm excited man I mean that last time it was in France but this is Paris so I'm excited for that one

05:53:21.500 --> 05:53:28.700
and um obviously the play's gonna be obviously awesome and you know for that one um yeah just

05:53:28.700 --> 05:53:34.700
just play our game just be ready man yes sir yes sir if today's ending to go off of your

05:53:34.700 --> 05:53:38.460
game is going to be more than enough. I'm excited to see you playing over there, sir.

05:53:38.460 --> 05:53:41.980
Any final shout-outs you got? You won another one. The floor is yours.

05:53:41.980 --> 05:53:47.420
Um, yeah. I was thinking to God, of course. Thank you for everyone watching behind the

05:53:47.420 --> 05:53:52.060
staff. Just my teammates, of course, and just everyone in general. I was a fun regional.

05:53:52.060 --> 05:53:56.660
Excited to get our number one seat back after the third regional. And yeah, thank

05:53:56.660 --> 05:53:59.300
you to just everyone in general.

05:53:59.300 --> 05:54:03.540
Beast Mode Regional Champion North America yet again. Congratulations and good luck

05:54:03.540 --> 05:54:12.180
in Paris. Thank you. All right. They are looking strong on top yet again. Did it in five games

05:54:12.180 --> 05:54:16.740
as well? We did get confirmation on the tiebreakers we were talking about earlier. It's just season

05:54:16.740 --> 05:54:22.420
points here for going into Paris, which basically means because NRG won half the regionals this

05:54:22.420 --> 05:54:26.340
season were the only team to win half the regionals. They're the number one seed there,

05:54:26.340 --> 05:54:30.340
even though they had the same amount of major points here going into Paris as space station.

05:54:30.340 --> 05:54:35.760
So how well they did on the road of Boston is what puts them through here is they've got 88 points up there on the top

05:54:36.460 --> 05:54:38.460
Space station we got the 65 right now

05:54:38.460 --> 05:54:46.580
So we still got one spot though James in the loop for North America as far as world championship contenders here

05:54:46.580 --> 05:54:52.900
Virtus Pro and foot esports foot esports and we try to play their way in at Paris since they are still alive

05:54:52.900 --> 05:54:58.060
And for this person to be watching. Yep. They got to get a top four. That's the target. So there are 14 points behind

05:54:58.060 --> 05:55:01.900
behind, you get 12 for top six, 16 for top four,

05:55:01.900 --> 05:55:02.940
which is what it's going to take.

05:55:02.940 --> 05:55:05.060
So we'll see a foot can pull that off.

05:55:05.060 --> 05:55:07.580
I think North America is in an exciting spot.

05:55:07.580 --> 05:55:11.540
I could see any one of these teams being that torch bearer

05:55:11.540 --> 05:55:14.820
for NA, making the longest run, which is awesome

05:55:14.820 --> 05:55:16.800
to see NA have that kind of depth.

05:55:16.800 --> 05:55:19.220
But also we're seeing more international depth as well.

05:55:19.220 --> 05:55:21.460
I'm primarily thinking of rape.

05:55:22.820 --> 05:55:25.780
You saw Falcons get beat by twisted minds,

05:55:25.780 --> 05:55:29.200
great e-sports, having a huge split.

05:55:29.200 --> 05:55:31.160
Don't really know what that's going to look like.

05:55:31.160 --> 05:55:33.160
Internationally, TwistMind is also looking quite good.

05:55:33.160 --> 05:55:34.880
So it is going to be an all-out battle.

05:55:34.880 --> 05:55:37.360
So many teams could make runs.

05:55:37.360 --> 05:55:39.060
And you're just going to have to wait and see

05:55:39.060 --> 05:55:40.760
how Paris shakes out.

05:55:40.760 --> 05:55:42.440
We're so deep into the season.

05:55:42.440 --> 05:55:43.880
And yet the World Championship picture

05:55:43.880 --> 05:55:47.800
still has so much yet to be painted in the next big event,

05:55:47.800 --> 05:55:48.300
folks.

05:55:48.300 --> 05:55:51.120
The road to Paris has concluded for North America.

05:55:51.120 --> 05:55:52.480
And over the next two weeks, we'll

05:55:52.480 --> 05:55:54.200
conclude for all the other regions.

05:55:54.200 --> 05:55:57.280
May 20th through 24th is the Paris Major.

05:55:57.280 --> 05:55:58.080
You can be there.

05:55:58.080 --> 05:56:00.680
You can be in the building as history is made.

05:56:00.680 --> 05:56:03.120
I hope to see you guys at the Paris Major.

05:56:03.120 --> 05:56:04.320
It's going to be so much fun.

05:56:04.320 --> 05:56:05.280
We got so much action.

05:56:05.280 --> 05:56:07.320
So continuing with the 2v2s and the 1v1s,

05:56:07.320 --> 05:56:08.920
the LCQs coming up for the teams

05:56:08.920 --> 05:56:10.480
for the regions that earn those spots.

05:56:10.480 --> 05:56:11.880
And then that world championship at the end

05:56:11.880 --> 05:56:13.280
of the season is going to be incredible.

05:56:13.280 --> 05:56:14.480
Scandic QR code on your screen

05:56:14.480 --> 05:56:15.880
if you want to be in Paris.

05:56:15.880 --> 05:56:19.160
I hope to see you guys there.

05:56:19.160 --> 05:56:21.200
Bates, yellow weekend.

05:56:21.200 --> 05:56:23.280
What a spot we're in here.

05:56:23.280 --> 05:56:25.760
NRG back on top, SSG looking good,

05:56:25.760 --> 05:56:27.640
even if they couldn't take it to NRG there.

05:56:27.640 --> 05:56:29.760
They're the number two seed going into Paris.

05:56:29.760 --> 05:56:31.160
How are we feeling about North America now

05:56:31.160 --> 05:56:33.160
after having seen all of our online play?

05:56:33.160 --> 05:56:35.700
Well, I think that the Rented World Champion's

05:56:35.700 --> 05:56:38.980
leveled up, especially today on Championship Sunday,

05:56:40.040 --> 05:56:41.320
to get the number one seed again.

05:56:41.320 --> 05:56:44.160
I think ever since they've been as a team,

05:56:44.160 --> 05:56:45.560
I think they've always been the number one seed,

05:56:45.560 --> 05:56:47.480
which is crazy, because that stretches back

05:56:47.480 --> 05:56:52.200
to beginning of 2024, and we're in the year 2026.

05:56:52.200 --> 05:56:53.680
That's insane.

05:56:53.680 --> 05:56:57.480
As a G, we're looking really good up to the grand final.

05:56:57.480 --> 05:56:57.980
Yeah.

05:56:57.980 --> 05:56:59.360
I think that's still Bows well for them.

05:56:59.360 --> 05:57:00.520
I think Shotfire and Varian as well.

05:57:00.520 --> 05:57:01.720
I think they're playing their best ball.

05:57:01.720 --> 05:57:02.840
They played as a trio.

05:57:02.840 --> 05:57:05.400
And then the big question is, how well can we compete?

05:57:05.400 --> 05:57:08.160
So overall, I think that NA, I'm not going to gas them up.

05:57:08.160 --> 05:57:09.960
I'm not going to gas them up, because EUs always

05:57:09.960 --> 05:57:10.680
just come to slaps.

05:57:10.680 --> 05:57:13.040
But I will say, they look decent,

05:57:13.040 --> 05:57:16.040
but now you've got to bring the level you show

05:57:16.040 --> 05:57:18.040
or put on display in the regionals

05:57:18.040 --> 05:57:19.160
to the actual land space.

05:57:19.160 --> 05:57:20.840
And that's the big question for NA.

05:57:20.840 --> 05:57:25.320
The big land space is all that is left for our North American teams to compete for.

05:57:25.320 --> 05:57:27.160
We've got Europe next weekend.

05:57:27.160 --> 05:57:29.360
They're going to be solidifying their final spots.

05:57:29.360 --> 05:57:34.160
The rest of the world also getting their spots in there that final weekend of online play.

05:57:34.160 --> 05:57:35.160
It's going to be a blast.

05:57:35.160 --> 05:57:36.360
Thank you all so much for watching.

05:57:36.360 --> 05:57:40.240
We'll be live next weekend for Europe's final open number six.

05:57:40.240 --> 05:57:41.240
We'll see you guys there.

05:57:41.240 --> 05:57:42.240
Stay safe.

05:58:12.240 --> 05:58:31.960
Oh, no, this guy going that way.

05:58:31.960 --> 05:58:33.640
Now I'm getting the lay of the land.

05:58:33.640 --> 05:58:36.300
Valets can be a big test for a young homeowner

05:58:36.300 --> 05:58:37.560
turning into their parents.

05:58:37.560 --> 05:58:39.440
There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.

05:58:39.440 --> 05:58:41.980
If the garage is full, they go to the auxiliary.

05:58:41.980 --> 05:58:44.980
He said if the garage is full, they'd go to the overflow line.

05:58:44.980 --> 05:58:45.980
I heard him. I was right here.

05:58:45.980 --> 05:58:49.260
Let's just stand quietly.

05:58:49.260 --> 05:58:51.420
I bet you guys have driven some great cars, huh?

05:58:51.420 --> 05:58:53.700
Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents.

05:58:53.700 --> 05:58:55.820
But we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us.

05:58:55.820 --> 05:58:57.580
I think you might have brought the wrong car.

05:58:57.580 --> 05:58:59.580
We had the red convertible.

06:00:41.980 --> 06:00:47.980
You're all going a little too hard to take

06:00:47.980 --> 06:00:53.980
This rainbow's broken while I'm falling to the ground again

06:00:53.980 --> 06:00:58.980
Can't keep reliving my mistakes

06:00:58.980 --> 06:01:01.980
Cause I'm a perfect fit

06:01:01.980 --> 06:01:05.980
What did I think to be a dying fail?

06:01:05.980 --> 06:01:07.980
All I've been is

06:01:07.980 --> 06:01:10.480
When I'm shaking all the pain

06:01:10.480 --> 06:01:13.480
I'm a burden, baby

06:01:13.480 --> 06:01:16.480
When I need to see you

06:01:16.480 --> 06:01:21.480
We're all just trying to get out of here

06:01:22.480 --> 06:01:27.480
I'm just trying to get out

06:01:27.480 --> 06:01:32.480
I'm just trying to get out

06:01:33.480 --> 06:01:37.480
I'm just trying to get out

06:02:07.980 --> 06:02:09.980
I

06:02:37.980 --> 06:02:41.580
And I am fed up with friends

06:02:41.580 --> 06:02:43.980
But I'm sick of all that's been

06:02:43.980 --> 06:02:47.180
And I am not worthy

06:02:47.180 --> 06:02:49.980
Nobody needs to see

06:02:49.980 --> 06:02:52.980
Or just not begin

06:02:52.980 --> 06:02:55.980
Moving on away

06:02:55.980 --> 06:03:00.980
I just try to get out of the mood

06:03:00.980 --> 06:03:06.980
I just try to get out of the mood

06:04:06.980 --> 06:04:10.580
And I'm feeling every little thing you say

06:04:10.580 --> 06:04:13.580
I wanna wake up and ditch the city

06:04:13.580 --> 06:04:16.580
Wake up, these walls are cave-in' in

06:04:16.580 --> 06:04:18.580
And you're a tidal wave

06:04:18.580 --> 06:04:22.080
Yeah, take me back when you said

06:04:22.080 --> 06:04:25.080
We can do this until we're dead

06:04:25.080 --> 06:04:27.080
Just a little bit farther

06:04:27.080 --> 06:04:30.080
We're breathing underwater

06:04:30.080 --> 06:04:33.080
Keeping your heart beat like a drum

06:04:33.080 --> 06:04:36.080
We can get the kids out of the ride

06:04:36.080 --> 06:04:40.560
There's nothing better, I'm just like we're young together

06:04:40.560 --> 06:05:04.560
It's funny how you can dance with a cigarette

06:05:04.560 --> 06:05:07.560
Tell me when you want to go

06:05:07.560 --> 06:05:11.480
You're small, but the dangers still have to feel theatrical

06:05:11.480 --> 06:05:15.160
I'm believing in every little thing inside of me

06:05:15.160 --> 06:05:18.200
Spinning around until we're dizzy

06:05:18.200 --> 06:05:20.680
Caught up like a bird in a hurricane

06:05:20.680 --> 06:05:23.160
And you're a tidal wave

06:05:23.160 --> 06:05:26.520
Yeah, take me back when you decide

06:05:26.520 --> 06:05:29.400
We can do this until we're dead

06:05:29.400 --> 06:05:31.480
Just a little bit farther

06:05:31.480 --> 06:05:33.880
We're breathing underwater

06:05:33.880 --> 06:05:36.280
I'm keeping my heart beat back

06:05:36.280 --> 06:05:41.280
We can make it out of the night There's nothing better

06:05:41.280 --> 06:05:49.280
I'm just like we're young together I'm just like we're young together
