WEBVTT

00:30.000 --> 00:32.000
I

01:30.000 --> 01:32.000
Oh

04:00.000 --> 04:02.000
Okay

05:30.000 --> 05:32.000
Everything will be okay.

06:00.000 --> 06:07.000
Okay.

06:07.000 --> 06:10.000
Okay.

06:10.000 --> 06:15.000
Move.

06:15.000 --> 06:20.000
Okay.

10:20.000 --> 10:24.000
all the things I thought of when we're all around

10:24.000 --> 10:28.000
that's when we forget just to smile

10:28.000 --> 10:32.000
let these come together

10:32.000 --> 10:34.000
all around

10:34.000 --> 10:38.000
that's when you remember when we're all around

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
You don't want to see me with you

14:20.000 --> 14:44.280
Well, you can call it decision day or you can call it survival Sunday.

14:44.280 --> 14:48.240
It's week five of league play in College Rocket League and this right here has the

14:48.240 --> 14:50.420
and makings to be one for the ages.

14:50.420 --> 14:52.560
Hello, everybody, my name is O'Vonta, and as always,

14:52.560 --> 14:53.400
I am not alone.

14:53.400 --> 14:55.560
I'm being joined by the luminaries and dignitaries

14:55.560 --> 14:57.600
of College Rocket League's CRL.

14:57.600 --> 14:58.960
I'm talking about all of our best,

14:58.960 --> 15:02.040
best of the past, the Jeff Salamero of the Danger Tucket.

15:02.040 --> 15:04.120
And of course, I get up to the lovely Chica Chica.

15:04.120 --> 15:05.280
I want to start with you.

15:05.280 --> 15:06.420
You know what?

15:06.420 --> 15:07.320
I'm feeling okay.

15:07.320 --> 15:08.560
How are you feeling today?

15:08.560 --> 15:10.080
You know, I'm feeling pretty good.

15:10.080 --> 15:12.720
I can't believe we are in our final week

15:12.720 --> 15:15.320
of League play on broadcast.

15:15.320 --> 15:19.960
does that really decide a lot for us to be determined?

15:19.960 --> 15:23.260
I think we have been going through scenario after scenario

15:23.260 --> 15:25.360
and different match after different match type

15:25.360 --> 15:28.080
and kind of know what we're doing,

15:28.080 --> 15:30.800
but truly I cannot comprehend

15:30.800 --> 15:33.800
how many teams are still in the run.

15:33.800 --> 15:35.000
Well, let's get into it here

15:35.000 --> 15:37.320
because when it comes down to how you really got

15:37.320 --> 15:38.560
to this situation,

15:38.560 --> 15:40.960
you have so many different ways to punch your ticket

15:40.960 --> 15:43.880
over to that spring championship.

15:43.880 --> 15:45.840
You know, look at the format here we have.

15:45.840 --> 15:48.440
There's many different ways to get to that dead.

15:48.440 --> 15:50.160
I want you to walk me through the Chicks.

15:50.160 --> 15:52.960
Because it feels like everyone has multiple paths

15:52.960 --> 15:54.280
to the promised land.

15:54.280 --> 15:56.040
Yeah, we all know this started

15:56.040 --> 15:58.320
with our 16 team league of play.

15:58.320 --> 16:00.920
But really, truly, we are focusing on

16:00.920 --> 16:02.440
spring championship.

16:02.440 --> 16:05.920
Our top four in league play move on forward

16:05.920 --> 16:07.120
in that top of the bracket.

16:07.120 --> 16:09.880
And everybody else currently right now

16:09.880 --> 16:14.520
is moving on forward to that championship Sunday.

16:14.520 --> 16:16.360
That made league play.

16:16.360 --> 16:18.880
And of course our last chance qualifier,

16:18.880 --> 16:21.440
we had a couple of teams in there as well

16:21.440 --> 16:25.160
that moved to LCQ in that top eight.

16:25.160 --> 16:27.840
So we have a very large bracket

16:27.840 --> 16:31.840
and everyone wants their best possible seating chance

16:31.840 --> 16:34.120
going on moving forward.

16:34.120 --> 16:36.280
It does seem like about a couple of weeks ago

16:36.280 --> 16:39.320
that spring championship was like so far away

16:39.320 --> 16:40.880
But you blink and miss it.

16:40.880 --> 16:42.920
League play comes to and fro.

16:42.920 --> 16:44.480
And we're looking at spring championship

16:44.480 --> 16:45.640
just around the corner.

16:45.640 --> 16:48.040
Of course we'll be here live and she'll cover that.

16:48.040 --> 16:49.720
Taco, I gotta ask you this.

16:49.720 --> 16:51.920
We're talking about those final open point standings

16:51.920 --> 16:55.080
and a way to look into the future about lower,

16:55.080 --> 16:57.000
sorry, that last chance qualify or bracket.

16:57.000 --> 16:57.920
Walker's through that.

16:57.920 --> 16:59.920
What does that look like for those in that path?

16:59.920 --> 17:01.840
Well, we did have opens being played

17:01.840 --> 17:02.680
throughout the semester.

17:02.680 --> 17:03.920
Everyone who did not make league play

17:03.920 --> 17:05.160
was eligible to play in it.

17:05.160 --> 17:06.480
Based on how well you did,

17:06.480 --> 17:08.960
you could earn points to be able to make that top eight.

17:08.960 --> 17:10.600
We see them here, highlighted in orange.

17:10.600 --> 17:13.720
They are clinched to be able to make it into our LCKQ bracket,

17:13.720 --> 17:16.200
and they will be joining the bottom 12,

17:16.200 --> 17:19.320
aka the top four, that didn't make playoffs from league play.

17:19.320 --> 17:22.760
So when we kind of take a look over at that last chance

17:22.760 --> 17:25.080
qualifier, when we look at that expanded bracket,

17:25.080 --> 17:26.880
don't panic, don't hyperventilate.

17:26.880 --> 17:28.960
You just got to focus on the bottom left.

17:28.960 --> 17:31.120
Those are those eight teams from those open qualifiers.

17:31.120 --> 17:34.120
So clearly they have to go through so many rounds.

17:34.120 --> 17:36.560
All those top bracket, that up around one

17:36.560 --> 17:39.160
and up around two, those upper quarter finals

17:39.160 --> 17:41.240
are going to be filled out with the league play teams.

17:41.240 --> 17:42.920
The bottom 12 that we just referred to,

17:42.920 --> 17:45.360
but all of it will eventually culminate

17:45.360 --> 17:47.320
into qualifying for the final two spots

17:47.320 --> 17:49.400
for that spring championship.

17:49.400 --> 17:50.240
Yeah, you know what?

17:50.240 --> 17:52.000
Those look absolutely ungainly there,

17:52.000 --> 17:53.880
looking at that water graphic, but it comes at you fast.

17:53.880 --> 17:54.720
Doesn't it not?

17:54.720 --> 17:57.280
Is it kind of like, you know, catches, catch, can?

17:57.280 --> 17:59.560
It does kind of feel like that,

17:59.560 --> 18:01.540
but ultimately this bracket just means

18:01.540 --> 18:02.720
that it is a journey half.

18:02.720 --> 18:04.360
If you don't make it through the playoffs,

18:04.360 --> 18:05.560
then it's like, oh, you can still have a chance,

18:05.560 --> 18:06.840
but it is a true marathon.

18:06.840 --> 18:08.960
You're running definitely about twice as smiles.

18:08.960 --> 18:11.880
Just be able to get back into bad playoff contention.

18:11.880 --> 18:14.080
Yeah, and so one of the things about this league play,

18:14.080 --> 18:15.920
the fifth iteration here at this semester

18:15.920 --> 18:18.280
is that they have to take a look at the standings.

18:18.280 --> 18:20.280
Bad, walk me through this one here.

18:20.280 --> 18:21.600
Our standings have been top deterred.

18:21.600 --> 18:24.080
We're talking about the parody this semester.

18:24.080 --> 18:25.680
It seems that more often than not,

18:25.680 --> 18:27.720
this is some teams in the mix.

18:27.720 --> 18:29.920
Yeah, this is the closest semester

18:29.920 --> 18:31.760
we've had of the collegiate broccoli ever.

18:31.760 --> 18:33.040
Obviously that could be debated,

18:33.040 --> 18:35.840
but I'm going to, in my opinion, claim it as so.

18:35.840 --> 18:39.000
Not only because of the fact that we now still have a spot left,

18:39.000 --> 18:40.480
Maryville Northwood and West Virginia

18:40.480 --> 18:42.200
have clinched their spots in the playoffs,

18:42.200 --> 18:44.440
but that fourth position is really available

18:44.440 --> 18:47.080
to every single team that has not yet been eliminated.

18:47.080 --> 18:48.880
As you guys can see, 11 through 16

18:48.880 --> 18:51.680
has already found their bid out of CRO

18:51.680 --> 18:54.120
and into the LZQ that we just spoke about here

18:54.120 --> 18:55.800
and Concord, Akron, Blue, Indian Tech,

18:55.800 --> 18:56.640
and Blaine, and Syracuse,

18:56.640 --> 18:59.200
which thought will be very, very, very strong teams

18:59.200 --> 19:00.440
in said LZQ.

19:00.440 --> 19:02.000
However, for the rest of the squad,

19:02.000 --> 19:06.320
is still a chance. Obviously the teams at the very top have the greatest chance here. Winthrop,

19:06.320 --> 19:10.160
their destiny is kind of in their own hands. If they win out from here on out, they are guaranteed

19:10.160 --> 19:14.800
playoffs just because they haven't taken as many losses. But for Fischer and for St. Claire, it's

19:14.800 --> 19:19.040
about finishing off the season as strong as possible and giving up as few wins as possible,

19:19.040 --> 19:22.800
including here today. For St. Claire, they literally need to win this because otherwise,

19:22.800 --> 19:27.280
the threshold can drop a whole nother game. If they finish at, excuse me, if they finish

19:27.280 --> 19:32.080
at 10 and 5 over all here and make it to where 5 is now the threshold. If that is, if Windthrug

19:32.080 --> 19:35.920
is able to also stay at the same, you get the idea. There's a lot of theoreticals,

19:35.920 --> 19:40.160
there's a lot of ideas. Everybody including Akron Gold is still in the hunt if they just

19:40.160 --> 19:44.480
straight up ball out throughout the rest of the semester. But the basic idea is that every

19:44.480 --> 19:49.840
single series loss you take from here on out is basically putting you in elimination territory.

19:49.840 --> 19:53.200
For a team like Baylor, if they take another loss, the odds of them making

19:53.200 --> 19:58.240
in the playoffs draw astronomically and for a team like Afrin Gold if they do lose another one

19:58.240 --> 20:01.920
they are physically incapable of being able to they will have too many losses they will no

20:01.920 --> 20:07.280
longer have that ability so the big idea for today is that every single loss is going to matter not

20:07.280 --> 20:10.960
only for the series but for game differential as well because as you guys can see all the way

20:10.960 --> 20:14.640
to the right that differential is what separates you from making it into playoffs and potentially

20:14.640 --> 20:19.120
getting booted out and trying again in the lcq just real quick are you kind of surprised there's

20:19.120 --> 20:22.200
are so many teams still in contention so late in the semester or not?

20:22.200 --> 20:26.080
I am, but I think I am for the wrong reasons.

20:26.080 --> 20:29.880
I think I'm surprised to see that there are this many teams, you know, still in contention

20:29.880 --> 20:32.680
late in the semester because again, it's a very large list.

20:32.680 --> 20:35.360
Normally we have five or six teams that are really competing for those top spots

20:35.360 --> 20:36.360
on the rest of them.

20:36.360 --> 20:37.360
You know, good luck to them.

20:37.360 --> 20:40.360
The reason it's so surprising to me in this case is that no one has got even

20:40.360 --> 20:42.520
close to a perfect season.

20:42.520 --> 20:44.800
Normally we have a team that drops like maybe one series.

20:44.800 --> 20:46.320
They might even go undefeated.

20:46.320 --> 20:49.260
The best record possible right now is still four losses.

20:49.260 --> 20:52.600
I can't remember the last time we had multiple teams

20:52.600 --> 20:55.680
at four losses all occupying the number one position

20:55.680 --> 20:56.880
in the league.

20:56.880 --> 20:59.200
Well, we gotta take a look at what we have in front

20:59.200 --> 21:00.720
of us here today.

21:00.720 --> 21:03.360
This matchup scene, look, if you love Akron,

21:03.360 --> 21:04.800
you're getting all the Akrons, man.

21:04.800 --> 21:06.640
You got gold, you got blue,

21:06.640 --> 21:08.440
everything is coming at you here.

21:08.440 --> 21:09.800
Chicks, let me ask you this.

21:09.800 --> 21:13.000
We have a slate of matches that all of them

21:13.000 --> 21:16.840
in some way or some fashion have spring championship

21:16.840 --> 21:19.100
implications, which ones are your spot?

21:20.460 --> 21:22.140
It has to be our last match of the day,

21:22.140 --> 21:26.460
St. Clair and Davenport, St. Clair, we thought

21:26.460 --> 21:28.180
they were pretty much in the clear,

21:28.180 --> 21:30.880
they were doing really well early on in the season

21:30.880 --> 21:32.560
and they faltered a little bit,

21:32.560 --> 21:33.900
like a lot of our other teams,

21:33.900 --> 21:36.660
so they need this one in hopes of getting

21:36.660 --> 21:38.300
that fourth and final place,

21:38.300 --> 21:42.380
and Davenport out of sheer willpower,

21:42.380 --> 21:47.300
our five and four could do some really silly stuff

21:47.300 --> 21:49.900
and tie our 11 and four teams

21:49.900 --> 21:52.860
at the current top part of the leaderboard.

21:52.860 --> 21:56.060
Devonport purely not having as many games

21:56.060 --> 21:58.180
as everyone else right now is making things

21:58.180 --> 21:59.820
a thousand times harder,

21:59.820 --> 22:03.660
but at least this one will help us out a little bit more.

22:03.660 --> 22:05.340
Real quick, Tucker, we're talking about this before

22:05.340 --> 22:07.460
you went live today about having Concord

22:07.460 --> 22:10.140
in the double feature spot on this one

22:10.140 --> 22:11.500
and saying, hey man,

22:11.500 --> 22:15.460
They have an opportunity to put their destiny in their own hands, but which Concorde will

22:15.460 --> 22:16.460
show up today?

22:16.460 --> 22:21.300
I mean, look, I know we have different flavors of Concorde, but help me understand this,

22:21.300 --> 22:25.780
like the pros and cons of how they can do today, and stay up in their own ticket, their

22:25.780 --> 22:26.780
own destiny.

22:26.780 --> 22:29.860
Well, ultimately, Concorde are already in a position where they are eliminated from

22:29.860 --> 22:33.220
being able to make top four, which means they skip that LCQ bracket.

22:33.220 --> 22:36.780
So at this point, they're playing preceding, which is important, but it's also important

22:36.780 --> 22:39.860
for, I would have to say, almost like the legacy, which is weird to say, since

22:39.860 --> 22:43.340
This program has really not had made a huge splash in CRL

22:43.340 --> 22:45.780
until the prior years in which they

22:45.780 --> 22:47.780
were a national championship winner.

22:47.780 --> 22:48.740
They were always contentioned.

22:48.740 --> 22:51.700
They've won other LAN championships within collegiate.

22:51.700 --> 22:54.820
So to see this squad sitting at 4 and 7 is such a whiplash.

22:54.820 --> 22:57.580
But also, at the same time, incredibly emblematic

22:57.580 --> 22:59.100
of what CRL has become.

22:59.100 --> 23:03.180
It is no longer a team-based game where you can just

23:03.180 --> 23:04.260
go off sheer momentum.

23:04.260 --> 23:05.900
You're just saying, yep, we're better than everyone else.

23:05.900 --> 23:07.220
We're going to brute force it through.

23:07.220 --> 23:08.980
Teams in the beginning of the semester we're saying,

23:08.980 --> 23:12.340
out. It's going to be a breeze. Don't worry. We have the quality. And then you're looking

23:12.340 --> 23:16.580
at Concord, not even close to even trying to be able to salvage the rest of the season.

23:16.580 --> 23:20.460
And if they could do so, if they went out, for example, that could bring them into a

23:20.460 --> 23:24.740
much higher position. And obviously, then with higher seating and lcq, easier matches

23:24.740 --> 23:29.420
with a better chance at getting into the final two spots to make playoffs. All right,

23:29.420 --> 23:35.900
putting down taco is a momentum hater confirmed. Sounds great. Let's talk about our first

23:35.900 --> 23:38.140
matchup of the day. It's

23:38.180 --> 23:41.440
gold taken on ball state.

23:41.480 --> 23:44.520
We've seen plenty of times

23:44.540 --> 23:47.720
but this matchup here is

23:47.760 --> 23:51.080
because of how the shape i

23:51.120 --> 23:53.320
with offense and on deepi

23:53.360 --> 23:55.600
and yonathan on the goal s

23:55.620 --> 23:59.160
good on the ball state s

23:59.200 --> 24:01.560
ball state been pretty s

24:01.600 --> 24:05.040
but they got a win today

24:05.040 --> 24:10.200
you, you would say they will never. Um, and for five million potentially, so. All right,

24:10.200 --> 24:13.680
look man, it's no secret. I think you've had all your fair share of criticisms for

24:13.680 --> 24:17.680
Ball State, but I think they're very fair. That's why you call them that, because this

24:17.680 --> 24:20.960
is a Ball State that I think at a lot of moments have been up there for one of the

24:20.960 --> 24:24.280
top teams in all of Collegiate Rock League. I think the highest we have ever had them

24:24.280 --> 24:28.280
rank to somewhere between second and third in the entirety of the scene. And this

24:28.280 --> 24:31.960
is a team that made a bit of a risky move. They ended up not going with their

24:31.960 --> 24:34.920
their usual roster from last year moved in feeds instead.

24:34.920 --> 24:37.800
And since then it's looked okay.

24:37.800 --> 24:39.320
I think at times it looks fantastic.

24:39.320 --> 24:40.680
At other times you've been like ball state,

24:40.680 --> 24:41.620
how did you take that loss?

24:41.620 --> 24:42.720
This doesn't make any sense.

24:42.720 --> 24:44.040
And I think the big thing for ball state

24:44.040 --> 24:45.360
is finding consistency right now.

24:45.360 --> 24:46.480
And I believe that they can,

24:46.480 --> 24:48.000
but the problem is they're up against another team

24:48.000 --> 24:49.920
that doesn't have consistency,

24:49.920 --> 24:51.320
but in like the opposite way.

24:51.320 --> 24:53.720
I have no idea ever what to expect

24:53.720 --> 24:55.000
from this Akron goal team.

24:55.000 --> 24:56.000
They've taken down teams

24:56.000 --> 24:57.760
that are currently in contention for playoffs.

24:57.760 --> 24:58.720
They have lost the teams

24:58.720 --> 25:00.160
that will never sniff playoffs.

25:00.160 --> 25:01.440
It does not make any sense

25:01.440 --> 25:03.440
the game. We're going to

25:03.440 --> 25:05.040
see how Akron Gold plays, but

25:05.040 --> 25:06.440
if they play at their peak,

25:06.440 --> 25:07.440
get ready. We're going to be

25:07.440 --> 25:09.440
in for a heck of a show. Every

25:09.440 --> 25:12.440
shot from bottom called chaos

25:12.440 --> 25:14.440
agents. Taco Akron Gold. You're

25:14.440 --> 25:15.440
right. Does seem like have one

25:15.440 --> 25:17.440
of the most unique win loss

25:17.440 --> 25:18.440
records and the strength of

25:18.440 --> 25:19.440
the plugins. What is your

25:19.440 --> 25:21.440
keys to victories here today?

25:21.440 --> 25:22.440
I think for Akron Gold, they

25:22.440 --> 25:23.440
need to tap into the chemistry

25:23.440 --> 25:24.440
that got him here at

25:24.440 --> 25:25.440
Jonathan and Patty have been

25:25.440 --> 25:26.440
playing together for very

25:26.440 --> 25:27.440
long time. They've been

25:27.440 --> 25:28.440
friends for a very long time

25:28.440 --> 25:29.440
within the Akron system and

25:29.440 --> 25:30.440
even before that, so they

25:30.440 --> 25:36.760
to get into an RLCS main event. Shout out Sheikah's, their third. But that's another time in which Patty,

25:36.760 --> 25:41.720
on the Akron side, has been able to get into an RLCS main event because they are just that good. In

25:41.720 --> 25:47.320
fact, this was technically Akron Gold, the B team, always. It was always Akron Blue that was the

25:47.320 --> 25:50.680
team that was kind of the main squad that you see. And now with those roles reversed,

25:50.680 --> 25:54.360
I think they just need to be truly engaged with the passing plays because they're playing

25:54.360 --> 25:58.040
against Ball State with Phoebes. We both thought that that would be a weird switch up,

25:58.040 --> 25:59.720
But actually he's fit in perfectly.

25:59.720 --> 26:01.640
Veebs has looked phenomenal with Ball State

26:01.640 --> 26:02.680
and they have not missed a step.

26:02.680 --> 26:04.520
So they really need to rely on what they're good at.

26:04.520 --> 26:07.120
And right now that is working off each other.

26:07.120 --> 26:09.440
Definitely heard of the kind of random,

26:09.440 --> 26:10.880
do we even consider a goal with threat?

26:10.880 --> 26:11.720
Well, guess what?

26:11.720 --> 26:12.560
They're a threat right now

26:12.560 --> 26:15.080
because they're in our first matchup of the day.

26:15.080 --> 26:15.920
But you know what?

26:15.920 --> 26:17.160
Not to belabor the point.

26:17.160 --> 26:19.320
Let's get right in predictions.

26:19.320 --> 26:21.240
Chica, you're the analyst for this one.

26:21.240 --> 26:22.080
What do you think?

26:22.080 --> 26:24.760
You've got yourselves a choice of gold or Ball State?

26:24.760 --> 26:26.840
You know, I'm going for Ball State on this one.

26:26.840 --> 26:32.080
I do think the addition of Beves has been pretty seamless compared to a lot of additions

26:32.080 --> 26:34.880
that we've seen really in this spring semester.

26:34.880 --> 26:39.720
He fits in well with both Othenka, which he had very big shoes to fill.

26:39.720 --> 26:46.120
I think this was a great, you know, kind of early admins to understanding what CRL

26:46.120 --> 26:48.840
is like, how they're going to play in the future.

26:48.840 --> 26:52.960
They looked, I want to say, pretty solid so far this season, so I think they want

26:52.960 --> 26:56.720
to continue and play strong the rest of the season they have remaining.

26:56.720 --> 27:01.700
All right ball state gets one the tally taco. Are you going to be the one to even even the score?

27:02.060 --> 27:07.240
No, I'm actually going to double up on ball state mainly because I do have them higher in my personal power rankings

27:07.240 --> 27:13.320
I think they're a bit more consistent Acron gold has a lot of really I would say power behind them and that they are really annoying to

27:13.320 --> 27:15.320
Play against but I think ball state kind of knows them

27:15.320 --> 27:19.360
They play in similar conferences within kind of like the smaller ball leagues within CRL

27:19.360 --> 27:21.240
I think they do have the edge on this matchup

27:21.240 --> 27:24.640
Well, you say personal power rankings. Do you have one that you don't show publicly like

27:26.720 --> 27:29.280
It's written on my wall in the bedroom with a sheet over it.

27:29.280 --> 27:30.240
No one else sees it.

27:30.240 --> 27:32.800
It's only for my eyes, for workshop reasons, all right?

27:32.800 --> 27:33.840
Oh, man, fast.

27:33.840 --> 27:35.240
Tell me the voice of reason here.

27:35.240 --> 27:38.280
Are you going to add on to the ball state tally?

27:38.280 --> 27:41.560
I'm adding on to the maybe delusion at the end of this one.

27:41.560 --> 27:42.680
Look, I know, I know.

27:42.680 --> 27:44.280
It's very hard to pick ball state.

27:44.280 --> 27:46.360
I think, like we said, they've had some shaky moments.

27:46.360 --> 27:49.600
They've had a less than consistent season so far.

27:49.600 --> 27:50.800
But I think at the end of the day,

27:50.800 --> 27:52.200
Akron Gold has been a team that's

27:52.200 --> 27:54.960
been on like the fringe of top 10 somewhere around there.

27:54.960 --> 27:56.160
I mean, they sit in 10th right now.

27:56.160 --> 28:00.480
it makes sense. Ball State just kind of proves to be that sort of measuring stick every season.

28:00.480 --> 28:04.000
If you can't beat Ball State, you're probably not going to get into the upper echelon of CRO.

28:04.000 --> 28:08.560
If you can, congratulations, but right now it doesn't feel like Akron or Axe at that level.

28:08.560 --> 28:12.640
We're ball, who has Ball State again, continue to be that metal point. If you can't get past them,

28:12.640 --> 28:16.160
you're not getting past the rest of the league, and I don't think Akron is going to get past them.

28:16.720 --> 28:21.600
I thought you were jumping there to make sure we don't sweep the desk, man. I had all

28:21.600 --> 28:25.440
of a hope onto you, but I guess I have to be the villain here.

28:25.440 --> 28:29.160
Gotta go with that, Gwen Gold, just because of their past history.

28:29.160 --> 28:31.560
They are such an erratic team.

28:31.560 --> 28:34.120
They are such a team that you can't even call.

28:34.120 --> 28:36.360
You would think they will get steamrolled today,

28:36.360 --> 28:37.920
and that's the reason why I'm gonna go with them,

28:37.920 --> 28:39.800
because pressure makes diamonds,

28:39.800 --> 28:43.080
and well here the chance is gonna shine on stream.

28:43.080 --> 28:44.880
But you know what, Ben, enough of this.

28:44.880 --> 28:49.280
We have to get into our first match-up of the day.

28:49.280 --> 28:52.080
I think both teams are ready to go.

28:52.080 --> 28:54.600
So let's get right into it.

28:54.600 --> 28:57.680
It is Ball State taking on Akringol.

28:57.680 --> 29:00.760
Our first match of the day is gonna be an absolute doozy.

29:00.760 --> 29:03.360
It's two teams with some white glass.

29:03.360 --> 29:05.720
Listen, they give the fish taco here.

29:05.720 --> 29:07.040
Here's one for the booth.

29:07.040 --> 29:08.960
Thomas, take it away.

29:12.360 --> 29:14.680
It's a Mac matchup we know and love with.

29:14.680 --> 29:18.480
High stakes as usual between Akringol and Ball State.

29:18.480 --> 29:21.920
Both teams in the running still to make top four, unbelievably,

29:21.920 --> 29:23.080
but they need to win out.

29:23.080 --> 29:25.560
So, Vast, we're back to our favorite kind of matchup.

29:25.560 --> 29:28.600
A must-win to kick off Sierra all week five.

29:28.600 --> 29:31.480
It's a must-win and it's a rivalry between the two teams.

29:31.480 --> 29:34.120
I would say this might be the most common matchup

29:34.120 --> 29:36.120
we see year to year at this point.

29:36.120 --> 29:38.200
Ball State and Akron, the two universities,

29:38.200 --> 29:39.880
seem to fight over and over again

29:39.880 --> 29:41.080
through multiple conferences,

29:41.080 --> 29:42.120
through multiple different events

29:42.120 --> 29:44.520
outside the Cleage of Rock League and inside of it.

29:44.520 --> 29:46.360
The only difference this time is that

29:46.360 --> 29:47.680
we're talking about Akron Gold

29:47.680 --> 29:50.480
as if it's the primary team because they kind of have become that.

29:50.480 --> 29:53.720
Akron Blue, despite taking a pretty big upset win over Northwood,

29:53.720 --> 29:55.800
has not seen the same form as Akron Gold.

29:55.800 --> 29:57.640
So, they kind of have to wreck them right now.

29:57.640 --> 29:59.400
Usually it's Blue versus Ball State,

29:59.400 --> 30:01.920
but instead, Gold gets a chance maybe to wear the crown.

30:01.920 --> 30:03.560
So far, through the first 30 seconds though,

30:03.560 --> 30:05.360
they're just wearing a defensive stance

30:05.360 --> 30:07.840
as everything is going against them.

30:07.840 --> 30:11.280
And right now it's God just trying to peek his way through

30:11.280 --> 30:13.280
and he will be able to get the bounce shot feeds

30:13.280 --> 30:14.920
with a flip reset from the ceiling.

30:14.920 --> 30:20.680
And clearly they're just doing everything in their mechanical tool bags to be able to try to get past Akron Gold and yet defense

30:21.280 --> 30:26.100
Slowly constructed the thing is I'm waiting for an Akron Gold offense because this is just save simulator

30:26.100 --> 30:29.320
Go with a triple tap and the own goal start us off

30:30.320 --> 30:34.260
Unfortunately for Akron Gold nothing really went right after this kicked off and enough pressure

30:34.400 --> 30:37.840
Something is going to break. Yeah, they do a pretty fancy though

30:37.840 --> 30:41.380
That's a hard one to read oxy and yonathan both had full tags of boost and net

30:41.380 --> 30:48.980
But just too hard of an angle to try and escape from and too much pressure early in this game early start here for ball state shows them on the board first

30:49.500 --> 30:52.020
Well any cap watchers in the chat are gonna know

30:53.260 --> 30:59.980
Very well because they were able to actually squeeze into that made event for all CS and obviously not for no reason whatsoever

31:00.300 --> 31:06.180
Granted oxy. Let's not keep it is a name out of our mouths a phenomenal addition to after the past

31:06.180 --> 31:10.980
It's because it plays like this and this is a very talented roster almost everybody in this

31:10.980 --> 31:16.320
So I actually I think pretty much everybody here is made into RLCS in some fashion or another like you said

31:16.320 --> 31:20.700
God just made it with a step pros. I know that oaths just made it. I want to stay with LOB

31:20.700 --> 31:24.180
I believe that was the team as a T-Krell instead stepped in for the step bro

31:24.180 --> 31:27.260
So again, CRL is all up in RLCS if you guys haven't been paying attention

31:27.260 --> 31:32.620
There are multiple very talented players who are also competing at the highest level of professional rocket league as well

31:32.740 --> 31:33.620
Right now though

31:33.620 --> 31:37.220
They seem to be at even footing here as we get into our second unit of play

31:37.220 --> 31:40.720
However, Oxy, with a touch here, can he find another one out center?

31:40.720 --> 31:43.720
He actually has a reset off the ceiling, but his teammate's still committed to it.

31:43.720 --> 31:45.220
That's two players downfield with low boosts.

31:45.220 --> 31:46.220
Patty's got to be careful.

31:46.220 --> 31:48.220
Instead, Oates is going to take his time.

31:48.220 --> 31:49.720
He picks up this one in the corner.

31:49.720 --> 31:52.220
It's nice to flash, especially if he's going to facilitate.

31:52.220 --> 31:55.220
Patty's got to get back on his horse, because that is a wide open shot.

31:55.220 --> 31:57.220
And Oates has never missed those.

31:57.220 --> 32:01.220
Open nets usually are pretty hard to hit, but when you have somebody like this

32:01.220 --> 32:03.220
commit out of midfield, it'll make it a little bit easier.

32:03.220 --> 32:05.220
Because you have a wide open net.

32:05.220 --> 32:07.060
And then Patty try to get back as you like.

32:07.060 --> 32:08.660
You're not going to be there in time.

32:08.660 --> 32:10.660
And this is kind of the pressure that we usually

32:10.660 --> 32:12.300
see from this Ball State team.

32:12.300 --> 32:13.300
They like to suffocate you.

32:13.300 --> 32:15.220
And as soon as you think you've got a breakaway play,

32:15.220 --> 32:16.980
they lower you into a sense of security

32:16.980 --> 32:19.540
that you definitely should not feel secure about.

32:19.540 --> 32:21.380
Ball State playing phenomenally right now.

32:21.380 --> 32:24.580
And again, another counterattack to show an example.

32:24.580 --> 32:25.460
It's not hesitation.

32:25.460 --> 32:26.460
It's not overcomplicating.

32:26.460 --> 32:27.540
It is just understanding.

32:27.540 --> 32:28.740
You're open space speech.

32:28.740 --> 32:29.780
It's not as hard as possible.

32:29.780 --> 32:32.180
Ideally, on that near side, because he saw Jonathan.

32:32.180 --> 32:33.980
He thought he was back far enough.

32:33.980 --> 32:35.540
I guess he needs to think again,

32:35.540 --> 32:36.900
Ball State starting to accelerate.

32:36.900 --> 32:39.540
Not what you want to see if you're an Akron supporter.

32:39.540 --> 32:41.300
Yeah, it's not going well for Akron so far,

32:41.300 --> 32:43.420
but again, this is why we talk about this Ball State team

32:43.420 --> 32:45.220
just kind of being head and shoulders above

32:45.220 --> 32:47.300
a lot of the competition in Collegiate Rocketing.

32:47.300 --> 32:48.660
There's a certain level of play

32:48.660 --> 32:50.460
that you have to expect out of them every time.

32:50.460 --> 32:52.180
Occasionally they'll drop a little bit underneath it

32:52.180 --> 32:53.260
or drop a little bit above it,

32:53.260 --> 32:55.540
but it's never a bismill play.

32:55.540 --> 32:56.860
It's always a certain level

32:56.860 --> 32:58.580
and standard of professionalism

32:58.580 --> 33:00.060
that they bring into all of these matchups.

33:00.060 --> 33:01.460
And right now Akron, who played

33:01.460 --> 33:03.900
Somebody consistent with over-aggressive offenses.

33:03.900 --> 33:06.420
A midfield that's been too pressured at multiple times.

33:06.420 --> 33:07.260
They gotta be careful.

33:07.260 --> 33:08.740
Great save there from Gah.

33:08.740 --> 33:10.260
Jonathan, though, back pass to Oxy.

33:10.260 --> 33:11.780
He didn't do anything with it.

33:11.780 --> 33:13.140
No, instead he just goes to the backboard

33:13.140 --> 33:15.340
and theoretically someone should have been there

33:15.340 --> 33:17.140
for Ball State, but they just let Oxy

33:17.140 --> 33:18.660
get some free double touch.

33:18.660 --> 33:19.860
Excellent possession play.

33:19.860 --> 33:21.940
And Oxy, honestly, just noticed his fives

33:21.940 --> 33:22.780
is too far out.

33:22.780 --> 33:23.780
Oath is right in the middle of the goal,

33:23.780 --> 33:26.860
so it's reliant on Gah to get back on that backboard,

33:26.860 --> 33:28.140
but he's not even at the corner yet.

33:28.140 --> 33:29.580
By the time he actually gets there,

33:29.580 --> 33:31.980
He just has to watch Oxy get a wide open touch,

33:31.980 --> 33:33.420
and that is what boosts serveation.

33:33.420 --> 33:35.100
That's what awkward positioning can do to you.

33:35.100 --> 33:38.140
Even Ball State is not impervious to that.

33:38.140 --> 33:39.900
Granted, they can get it right back.

33:39.900 --> 33:41.460
If Feebs can try to get underneath,

33:41.460 --> 33:44.340
though Patti plays that 50 so well.

33:44.340 --> 33:47.140
Yeah, another touch out center intercepted by Patti this time.

33:47.140 --> 33:48.500
Oath, right first touch.

33:48.500 --> 33:49.420
Does he have a couple more?

33:49.420 --> 33:51.060
He does, but the pinch out center

33:51.060 --> 33:52.420
actually does find his way to Feebs.

33:52.420 --> 33:53.900
He's maybe got a double touch,

33:53.900 --> 33:56.780
but Yonathan avoids the bump and makes the save.

33:56.780 --> 33:58.060
Got the follow up.

33:58.060 --> 33:59.060
Keep this one close.

33:59.060 --> 34:02.060
It's an awkward challenge, but he at least gets a wheel in the way.

34:02.060 --> 34:04.060
So, Phieps has to try and keep this play alive.

34:04.060 --> 34:06.060
Again, this is Ball State. It's what they like to do.

34:06.060 --> 34:09.060
They have one of the most suppressive offenses in all of Gliedger Rockling

34:09.060 --> 34:12.060
for many years in the proven that they still have it.

34:12.060 --> 34:16.060
And right now, it's just Acker trying to stay at the course.

34:16.060 --> 34:18.060
And granted, they're going to do it the annoying way that Acker knows how.

34:18.060 --> 34:20.060
Going for bumps, this time doesn't work out.

34:20.060 --> 34:23.060
And even then, Phieps goes coast to coast. He does have gum in the end.

34:23.060 --> 34:27.060
But Jonathan also can sniff out a play like that, right back to Phieps,

34:27.060 --> 34:29.980
into the ceiling, but also right into Jonathan.

34:29.980 --> 34:31.820
Oath, couple extra touches out of Minifio,

34:31.820 --> 34:33.260
just keep this offense alive.

34:33.260 --> 34:35.500
They've been able to suffocate and just kind of push back

34:35.500 --> 34:37.420
Akron through the last minute or two,

34:37.420 --> 34:38.500
with a goal in their favor.

34:38.500 --> 34:40.620
That's not something Akron can afford to do.

34:40.620 --> 34:41.980
You can find ways to clear their lines,

34:41.980 --> 34:43.580
get some offensive pressure of their own,

34:43.580 --> 34:45.020
and this is not going to help.

34:45.020 --> 34:46.500
Jonathan with some extra space,

34:46.500 --> 34:47.900
but nobody's gonna make the challenge.

34:47.900 --> 34:49.500
Bit delayed by Guh, but I guess it's

34:49.500 --> 34:51.180
because he was buying time for Phoebes,

34:51.180 --> 34:53.620
who can just launch it back into the blue half again.

34:53.620 --> 34:55.540
Now Oath's turn, he needed to get challenged

34:55.540 --> 34:56.380
by Jonathan.

34:56.380 --> 34:58.700
to take over, he gets challenged by Patty.

34:58.700 --> 35:00.980
So Aquan are trying to clear their lanes right now,

35:00.980 --> 35:02.100
they're doing everything they can

35:02.100 --> 35:03.300
with the challenges out of midfield,

35:03.300 --> 35:05.900
but somehow some way, Bull State retains possession.

35:07.020 --> 35:08.420
Patty, just with a catch,

35:08.420 --> 35:09.620
Phoebe's gonna try to challenge that

35:09.620 --> 35:10.660
and realize it's way too late.

35:10.660 --> 35:12.420
Patty from the ceiling, looking for the read,

35:12.420 --> 35:15.700
but good job by Guff to make sure he gets in the way.

35:15.700 --> 35:17.780
Phoebe's laying down his life on the line,

35:17.780 --> 35:18.980
couldn't even facilitate a counter.

35:18.980 --> 35:21.420
It's all gone, the double up until Patty

35:21.420 --> 35:22.340
shuts the door.

35:22.340 --> 35:25.220
Oath possession touch, that's all about it is.

35:25.220 --> 35:30.860
Feebs is trying to get a forward, but the dunk means Akron have another chance as time starting to dwindle on them.

35:30.860 --> 35:34.260
Still a one goal margin, but Ball State doesn't look all too nervous.

35:34.780 --> 35:36.500
No, they seem very comfortable right now.

35:36.500 --> 35:38.500
Again, most of the offenses have been thrown at them.

35:38.500 --> 35:46.060
They've been able to contain by just keeping a player back and launches it immediately into the blue half and puts on that pressure all over again.

35:46.260 --> 35:51.580
It's the same standard play over and over here, but for some reason Akron cannot find a way to shake it.

35:51.780 --> 35:53.380
How about they get around this one?

35:53.380 --> 35:56.700
No, not quite the pass out to the sidewall is a link to the hands of thieves

35:56.700 --> 36:01.140
Oxy doesn't really have much you can do with this one and yonathan with low boost is just trying to interfere down field

36:01.220 --> 36:02.380
Maybe it'll work out

36:02.380 --> 36:06.820
But not if you get an immediate challenge from oath who also has some extra boost to work with and the lead blocker

36:06.820 --> 36:09.220
Had a good guy that such that would have been the end of this game

36:09.220 --> 36:12.820
But there still has to be a full field march if Akron want to change that up

36:12.980 --> 36:17.660
Yonathan to the sidewall the pinch down goes right to go the follow-up from oath to stays in the corner

36:17.660 --> 36:21.860
And as this one pitches out to midfield ball state will wrap up game one and take the victory

36:21.860 --> 36:23.500
three for half a second, right?

36:23.500 --> 36:26.020
The oxy might have been able to actually react to that one,

36:26.020 --> 36:28.300
but no, it was a bit too much on the deflection.

36:28.300 --> 36:30.260
And yes, you have to understand ball.

36:30.260 --> 36:33.060
It's going to be real difficult to beat, especially it's not

36:33.060 --> 36:36.180
necessarily given goals, but they found a way to just see

36:36.180 --> 36:38.220
the Akron maybe rotate a bit too far up,

36:38.220 --> 36:39.700
take advantage of those open shots,

36:39.700 --> 36:42.420
be able to rocket one downfield in the perfect placement.

36:42.420 --> 36:44.580
And it's because of that, that ball state is so good.

36:44.580 --> 36:46.740
Not necessarily that no one else can make those plays,

36:46.740 --> 36:49.220
but ball state knows when there is a passing play to be made,

36:49.220 --> 36:51.780
they will find it every single time.

36:51.780 --> 36:54.060
Yeah, this is again a staple of Ball State.

36:54.060 --> 36:56.740
They're one of the most in sync teams in all of collegiate Rockling.

36:56.740 --> 36:59.660
Like I said, this has been a staple of their game play for multiple years.

36:59.660 --> 37:02.940
The point where you and I actually had a conversation with the former coach of Akron.

37:02.940 --> 37:05.940
I don't believe he's at the university anymore, but Huntley a couple years ago

37:05.940 --> 37:08.700
where he said, yeah, we don't really know what to do about Ball State.

37:08.700 --> 37:11.180
There was just a moment where this team was so in sync.

37:11.180 --> 37:15.260
They were so fluid that this offense that just kept putting you under pressure

37:15.260 --> 37:16.660
never really let you escape from it.

37:16.660 --> 37:17.980
And that's kind of what we saw here.

37:17.980 --> 37:19.620
Again, double digit shots for the team.

37:19.620 --> 37:22.660
Everybody on the team has a goal and an assist in that game.

37:22.660 --> 37:25.180
Ball State seem like they haven't missed the mark at all, man.

37:25.180 --> 37:27.060
We said, could there be some problems with pulling

37:27.060 --> 37:29.180
Wova from the main roster and putting in Phoebes?

37:29.180 --> 37:31.260
The answer is a definitive no at this point, man.

37:31.260 --> 37:33.260
They look just as in sync as ever.

37:33.260 --> 37:35.900
And I think that's a huge thing, because not only is Phoebes,

37:35.900 --> 37:38.780
pictured right there in the center of the cam, playing well,

37:38.780 --> 37:40.620
but he's doing so with a lot of pressure,

37:40.620 --> 37:43.300
because this really is his first years trying to do this.

37:43.300 --> 37:46.300
And being able to play not only for a varsity team,

37:46.300 --> 37:49.740
but being able to play in the top flight of Collegiate Rock

37:49.740 --> 37:52.100
League, this is the official developer league,

37:52.100 --> 37:53.620
and doing pretty well.

37:53.620 --> 37:55.020
They're still in that playoff hunt

37:55.020 --> 37:57.220
in one step closer with the game win.

37:57.220 --> 37:59.500
Game two, maybe try to double that one up,

37:59.500 --> 38:03.220
because also to speak of something on the chase

38:03.220 --> 38:04.860
for that top four best, it's not only

38:04.860 --> 38:06.780
do you need the series wins, but every game you

38:06.780 --> 38:08.500
can get to boost that game differential,

38:08.500 --> 38:10.900
it's also super important to be able to beat out

38:10.900 --> 38:12.100
on those tie breakers.

38:12.100 --> 38:13.580
Especially if you are Akron Gold.

38:13.580 --> 38:15.860
Akron Gold come into this one negative 6 overall.

38:15.860 --> 38:21.240
So unfortunately for them every single loss that they take just take that playoff picture further and further away from them

38:21.240 --> 38:23.540
And at a certain point it may just kind of be out of their own hands

38:23.540 --> 38:27.200
They may not be able to do anything to really impact their playoff potential

38:27.200 --> 38:33.080
Just due to giving up too many games and other teams not conceding as many so it's gonna be very important for them to fire back here

38:33.080 --> 38:37.420
They do not want to take another negative differential game to continue on throughout the season

38:37.420 --> 38:41.580
I think as we mentioned the odds of them being able to technically make it if they lose this series are

38:42.080 --> 38:44.940
Astronomically low if they win this one there is still potential

38:45.860 --> 38:49.300
And you have to fight for that potential because you can't control what happens to everyone else.

38:49.300 --> 38:52.860
You just have to focus on your own destiny and obviously fighting for pride.

38:52.860 --> 38:55.760
A lot of history between these two teams and no love lost.

38:55.760 --> 39:01.460
A demo merely cleared the path, but instead Crossbar and the post come to Akron's rescue.

39:01.460 --> 39:03.860
This is business as usual for Ball State though, man.

39:03.860 --> 39:06.360
Just shot after shot, pressure after pressure.

39:06.360 --> 39:08.860
The entire first minute spent on the Akron half.

39:08.860 --> 39:13.160
Not a single player even has over 100 points and Ball State's already on the board.

39:13.160 --> 39:14.000
And that's a rough one.

39:14.000 --> 39:16.520
You could almost tell just looking at that top left

39:16.520 --> 39:18.280
or just looking at the players on the pitch.

39:18.280 --> 39:19.320
No boost at all.

39:19.320 --> 39:21.000
Acre just helplessly spiraling,

39:21.000 --> 39:22.600
trying to get that touch in the whole time.

39:22.600 --> 39:25.040
Ball State never loses a grip on that rotation.

39:25.040 --> 39:26.600
It finally gets that open shot

39:26.600 --> 39:27.720
and gets that one to go.

39:27.720 --> 39:28.840
Acre had a post in earlier,

39:28.840 --> 39:31.040
but that's really all to speak of it for offense.

39:31.040 --> 39:32.880
So how about y'all can try to kickstart things?

39:32.880 --> 39:33.720
That is in the middle,

39:33.720 --> 39:35.760
but not gonna be any problem for God.

39:35.760 --> 39:37.200
You can see Acre starting to get also

39:37.200 --> 39:38.440
a little trigger shy on this one.

39:38.440 --> 39:40.320
They don't want to send the second man too aggressively

39:40.320 --> 39:42.080
because they got counterattacked two different times

39:42.080 --> 39:42.920
in the first game.

39:42.920 --> 39:44.920
trying to patrol that midfield a bit more carefully,

39:44.920 --> 39:46.760
but in doing so, letting opportunities

39:46.760 --> 39:48.080
just kind of sit in front of the net

39:48.080 --> 39:49.760
and nobody there to follow it up.

39:49.760 --> 39:51.600
Maybe a solo play from Yonathan can change that,

39:51.600 --> 39:52.960
but he tries to go to the corner

39:52.960 --> 39:54.520
and Beeps kind of knew where that was coming.

39:54.520 --> 39:56.120
Did he recognize the bump?

39:56.120 --> 39:57.280
Somehow, yes!

39:57.280 --> 39:58.680
He recovers, makes the same,

39:58.680 --> 40:00.600
and it's still one out of all state.

40:00.600 --> 40:01.840
Young Beeps, how do you do it?

40:01.840 --> 40:02.760
Get bumped out of the way.

40:02.760 --> 40:04.680
I'm thinking that's a perfect play by Yonathan,

40:04.680 --> 40:07.840
and yet he still is able to fall into that play

40:07.840 --> 40:09.320
and get the save away.

40:09.320 --> 40:11.680
Yonathan will then try to rebuild on the next one.

40:11.680 --> 40:13.400
Oxy into the path of Patty.

40:13.400 --> 40:15.600
We know what damage you can do on the double tap thing

40:15.600 --> 40:17.080
is it has to be in his path.

40:17.080 --> 40:18.200
Can't wrangle that one.

40:18.200 --> 40:20.920
Does never going to have an issue parrying that away.

40:20.920 --> 40:23.640
Yeah, we need to see Patty P. Patterson pop off like usual, man.

40:23.640 --> 40:25.280
This guy's highly mechanical, and we just

40:25.280 --> 40:27.080
haven't seen any of those opportunities.

40:27.080 --> 40:27.960
Right save from him.

40:27.960 --> 40:29.520
Perhaps he's still got his defensive prowess.

40:29.520 --> 40:32.160
How about the follow up from Oxy that turns to the corner.

40:32.160 --> 40:33.660
He's going to also throw a 50 as well,

40:33.660 --> 40:35.000
and he's got yonking downfield.

40:35.000 --> 40:37.800
Multiple options in the trickery will work out.

40:37.800 --> 40:39.960
Unfortunately, stuck between a rock and a hard place,

40:39.960 --> 40:42.000
And the final defense shows wrong.

40:42.000 --> 40:43.500
Yeah, it's a little bit of a delay on this one,

40:43.500 --> 40:44.880
but you cannot get a better contact.

40:44.880 --> 40:46.600
Maybe a better placement, but Thebes

40:46.600 --> 40:47.800
is going toward that near post.

40:47.800 --> 40:50.040
It's a little behind him, and even the best players forget.

40:50.040 --> 40:51.600
You've got to tap the brakes sometimes

40:51.600 --> 40:53.840
to be able to reach those saves right behind him.

40:53.840 --> 40:56.760
But it's also a good momentum builder, a team play,

40:56.760 --> 40:58.240
to make sure you're right back in it.

40:58.240 --> 40:58.960
And then maybe more.

40:58.960 --> 41:00.720
Oxy, open, he has no boost.

41:00.720 --> 41:02.440
The free flip can't connect.

41:02.440 --> 41:04.800
As you can see on the camera, apparently Akron

41:04.800 --> 41:07.000
is not shaken by giving up that first game, man.

41:07.000 --> 41:08.600
They're literally dancing in between goals.

41:08.600 --> 41:09.760
I think that Jonathan and Patty

41:09.760 --> 41:13.040
which is kind of harassing each other for whatever reason.

41:13.040 --> 41:15.080
Gentlemen, I was gonna say it's good to keep the vibes high.

41:15.080 --> 41:17.320
You might wanna focus on your defense a little bit more there.

41:17.320 --> 41:19.100
That was a bit shaky, but it might work out

41:19.100 --> 41:20.440
on the counter the other way.

41:20.440 --> 41:22.840
Oxy shot denied in feeps now.

41:22.840 --> 41:24.200
There's space to work with.

41:24.200 --> 41:27.520
Hopri set around one and the bump leads way to a shot

41:27.520 --> 41:30.820
from Yon- against Yonathan and still it is turned away.

41:31.680 --> 41:34.120
Oxy, excellent read is also trying to bait it in

41:34.120 --> 41:35.840
and not only that, gets the boost steal.

41:35.840 --> 41:37.760
Yonathan open shot, just trying to rocket

41:37.760 --> 41:42.560
one top shelf and it will clatter off the top of that shelf while sticking away with that one but

41:42.560 --> 41:47.040
you can see Akron growing in that confidence and also just being more decisive nothing really tricky

41:47.040 --> 41:51.360
just going for straight line reads right down the middle and hoping for those good 50s there's

41:51.360 --> 41:56.400
another one with Patty to accelerate it again. Oh Patty almost able to turn that into something

41:56.400 --> 42:00.400
special but the challenges that are being met mid-air by Ball State are just not letting

42:00.400 --> 42:05.520
them develop anything great example of speed from the heavens will perfectly put it on target

42:05.520 --> 42:09.520
You might call it an on-go from Patty, but brother, what are you supposed to do against this?

42:09.520 --> 42:14.520
Perfect touch, preserves the boost, pivots the car, and then gets all of that flick.

42:14.520 --> 42:17.520
His two players are up and have zero chance of keeping that one out.

42:17.520 --> 42:22.520
Again, it's just those tiny moments where when you have that much time in the air, it has to go in.

42:22.520 --> 42:25.520
Phoebes knows it better than most, and he will make that one count,

42:25.520 --> 42:30.520
showing that the freshman not really intimidated whatsoever at who's facing him on the other side.

42:30.520 --> 42:31.520
side.

42:31.520 --> 42:35.840
Oh good trickery though immediately off the kickoff fake out like you're going to make

42:35.840 --> 42:39.400
an aerial and then let the other guy shoot great response from Akron.

42:39.400 --> 42:42.280
I really do like that from the on and then and I was just complimenting Thieb's thing

42:42.280 --> 42:45.440
he's got to play well on both sides of the ball I don't really blame him for diving

42:45.440 --> 42:49.040
on that one he has to shut down the lead man and because of that it's all about placement

42:49.040 --> 42:50.760
on the follow through Akron.

42:50.760 --> 42:54.160
Neck and neck with Ball State in this one but honestly not too much different than

42:54.160 --> 42:58.320
game number one thing is hoping to have a change of fortunes not going to be too

42:58.320 --> 43:03.120
much better though, just let go, go all the way back down, reset, musty, pass down, and

43:03.120 --> 43:07.640
patty! Still shuts the door! I would be so furious if I was the set-up man on that

43:07.640 --> 43:12.640
play, man. Perfect musty flick, but you know what's even better? Waiting on your reset

43:12.640 --> 43:17.240
off the ceiling and nailing another shot! Thieves man on fire!

43:17.240 --> 43:21.120
Oh, that's exactly why they mirror shots and custom training. At least not that one

43:21.120 --> 43:24.840
block is plug-in, because you have to be able to go off the ceiling from both sides

43:24.840 --> 43:29.000
the goal and he will have a similar result after it gotta be shaking their head. It feels

43:29.000 --> 43:32.560
like they're doing everything possible. Then Phoebes just has the pop off ready in the

43:32.560 --> 43:37.480
back pocket. The Phoebes man. He's just been electric so far through the first few games.

43:37.480 --> 43:41.440
He's got three goals and an assist at this point. He's been all over the offense.

43:41.440 --> 43:46.520
He's only not been a part of I think a single goal that has been scored so far. So impressive

43:46.520 --> 43:49.960
stuff man. We said what was the rookie going to do on this roster that had such

43:49.960 --> 43:53.560
a history. He has proven that he can compete with the best of them. He's also proven

43:53.560 --> 43:55.040
You might want to start challenging him mid-air.

43:55.040 --> 43:57.960
That's like the third time he's just gone off the ceiling

43:57.960 --> 43:58.800
uncontested.

43:58.800 --> 44:00.320
Branted, that time he didn't have any boost.

44:00.320 --> 44:01.880
But Akron got to be aware of this.

44:01.880 --> 44:04.640
They're giving him far too much space right now.

44:04.640 --> 44:06.040
That's a good imparts much boost.

44:06.040 --> 44:07.860
And it doesn't help when they're getting demoed all over

44:07.860 --> 44:08.200
the place.

44:08.200 --> 44:09.760
OxyTespa trying to get on this one

44:09.760 --> 44:11.600
and does get the backward save.

44:11.600 --> 44:13.840
Got fake challenges, nodes that they've got Akron

44:13.840 --> 44:15.480
in a blender from the ceiling.

44:15.480 --> 44:18.000
Double tap, trying to reach that back post.

44:18.000 --> 44:19.040
No such luck.

44:19.040 --> 44:21.400
How about Oath trying to draw into a challenge?

44:21.400 --> 44:22.160
He does get two.

44:22.160 --> 44:24.320
but doesn't really produce much from Akron.

44:24.320 --> 44:27.080
It's keeps it getting from the ceiling with this time.

44:27.080 --> 44:28.760
Not even he can reach that.

44:28.760 --> 44:30.400
They still didn't call the bluff though.

44:30.400 --> 44:32.080
They just did not challenge theme.

44:32.080 --> 44:33.280
Somebody's got to get in the way.

44:33.280 --> 44:35.520
All it's done is extend the offense here for Ball State

44:35.520 --> 44:37.640
as they force Akron to restart again.

44:37.640 --> 44:39.680
Jonathan, a lot of time and space though.

44:39.680 --> 44:41.560
You have a good first touch or even a second.

44:41.560 --> 44:42.560
Not really.

44:42.560 --> 44:45.280
He tries to get an aerial, tries to get a ground play.

44:45.280 --> 44:47.080
And either one of them really works out in Ball State.

44:47.080 --> 44:48.480
They got two in a row.

44:48.480 --> 44:50.440
I really like that idea too from Jonathan.

44:50.440 --> 44:51.400
He has a pass middle.

44:51.400 --> 44:53.360
There was even a free jump attempt halfway through,

44:53.360 --> 44:54.560
but he actually kept it.

44:54.560 --> 44:57.720
I think he tried to catch it off that back foot or back board

44:57.720 --> 44:59.320
and then be able to ricochet it middle.

44:59.320 --> 45:00.840
Regardless, it doesn't work out.

45:00.840 --> 45:02.720
And more importantly, it's the same score line

45:02.720 --> 45:05.040
and now 2-0 for Ball State.

45:05.040 --> 45:06.320
Well earned from them.

45:06.320 --> 45:07.800
Nice to see Phoebes in the spotlight,

45:07.800 --> 45:10.240
but as you can see with that shot count

45:10.240 --> 45:12.840
and the distribution, everybody from Ball State

45:12.840 --> 45:15.720
equal threat for the Akron goal.

45:15.720 --> 45:17.080
Yeah, that's the big issue right now

45:17.080 --> 45:19.240
is that Ball State are just all across the board

45:19.240 --> 45:23.140
playing synonymously versus what we're seeing in Akron, which, again, there's been moments

45:23.140 --> 45:26.260
of brilliance where it does feel like all three of the players are playing well around

45:26.260 --> 45:27.260
each other.

45:27.260 --> 45:29.460
The fluidity of the offense has had its brilliant moments.

45:29.460 --> 45:32.820
The problem is also there have been moments where it doesn't look that way, where two

45:32.820 --> 45:36.240
players do commit out at midfield, where they overextend out at midfield, and counter

45:36.240 --> 45:38.060
attacks have just left them somewhat vulnerable.

45:38.060 --> 45:42.420
Also, in contrast, we've seen both versions of Ball State with good team plays as well

45:42.420 --> 45:43.940
as good individual plays.

45:43.940 --> 45:47.100
We talk about Patty as one of the most mechanical players in this league, man.

45:47.100 --> 45:52.700
usually has at least like one highlight clip on stream per year. I don't know if we've seen

45:52.700 --> 45:59.020
one necessarily this year. Not necessarily, but they definitely still are emoting on camera. That is

45:59.020 --> 46:03.020
an Akron staple. This isn't them acting up. This is just how they actually always are. So

46:03.020 --> 46:06.300
Oxy's the most straight face there and they need to lock in a little bit because yeah,

46:06.300 --> 46:10.060
we haven't seen Patty hit some crazy clips on stream. We haven't been able to see Akron Gold

46:10.060 --> 46:14.860
do much of anything outside of what I kind of comprehend them for. Teamplay, play off each

46:14.860 --> 46:18.120
other work those comms because that's the way they stay in this game that's

46:18.120 --> 46:21.340
the thing best they're staying in the game they're not actually taking command

46:21.340 --> 46:24.500
of it it's always ball state kind of leading the way and after just trying to

46:24.500 --> 46:28.740
keep up that's why we state that ball state or the gate keepers here man it's

46:28.740 --> 46:31.940
one of these things where they've always been that team that just right at the

46:31.940 --> 46:35.380
middle threshold if you can get above them you're probably the top half of

46:35.380 --> 46:39.660
CRL if you can't you're probably not and this is the problems that many

46:39.660 --> 46:42.940
teams can compete with them beating this ball state team when they are

46:42.940 --> 46:46.780
on is a whole different ball game and right now Phoebes in particular is

46:46.780 --> 46:50.740
absolutely on. What do you mean you got a reset from there? It didn't do anything but

46:50.740 --> 46:54.540
come on that's not allowed. I mean again they're just mechanical they'll go for

46:54.540 --> 46:57.780
absolutely everything and it does often work out for them or the very least

46:57.780 --> 47:05.660
neutralizes things kind of like that 50 from Phoebes. Patty's trying to put out some good Phoebes. It's still in the way. I mean again this is what I'm talking about from Acre. It's

47:05.660 --> 47:10.300
hard just to sometimes get possession but it's hard to just get out of your hat. This is this

47:10.300 --> 47:13.900
painful man. I'm getting to the point where I like one Akron to try and improve and even when

47:13.900 --> 47:18.460
they do actually play a little bit better, someone from Ball State is just there to stifle all momentum

47:18.460 --> 47:23.100
and this has been a repeat pattern at this point, where just somebody muscled through a 50, is in

47:23.100 --> 47:27.820
the right place, fiends didn't even flinch! He had a dude straight up barreling at him and he went,

47:27.820 --> 47:32.860
I know you're not gonna hit me, I don't care. Let me take this 50 and let's just keep playing

47:32.860 --> 47:37.660
the game. And it's really just all trust in the comms and also an understanding of how

47:37.660 --> 47:42.300
far the opponents can reach with a limited boost because they get starved to oblivion in

47:42.300 --> 47:43.300
this series.

47:43.300 --> 47:47.060
Yana then try to slow things down and at that time the change up is going to get Phoebes.

47:47.060 --> 47:49.060
And change up and a little bit of physicality.

47:49.060 --> 47:52.540
This is huge from Oxi to just keep swinging through, find the next defender and just

47:52.540 --> 47:53.900
straight up remove them.

47:53.900 --> 47:56.100
Phoebes up between a rock and a hard place yet again.

47:56.100 --> 47:59.220
And if there is one point of criticism we can have for Ball State, it's that

47:59.220 --> 48:02.860
they have left their final defender alone on an island a handful of times.

48:02.860 --> 48:06.380
If Akon can start recognizing that and using numbers advantage downfield to their

48:06.380 --> 48:07.380
advantage.

48:07.380 --> 48:09.180
a huge chance to come back in this series.

48:09.180 --> 48:12.420
Okay, well, oh, God could just do that.

48:12.420 --> 48:13.980
Yeah, anytime God's going for a double A,

48:13.980 --> 48:14.820
it's going to internet.

48:14.820 --> 48:16.520
I'm sorry, that's just how the reality of things,

48:16.520 --> 48:17.900
especially with a touch like this,

48:17.900 --> 48:19.300
Patty tried to cut it out.

48:19.300 --> 48:20.420
And then after that, Jonathan was just

48:20.420 --> 48:21.700
putting his hands off the controller,

48:21.700 --> 48:23.100
putting them together and saying a prayer

48:23.100 --> 48:25.060
because that's really all he could do.

48:25.060 --> 48:26.300
One, one, immediately.

48:26.300 --> 48:28.860
And again, just another instance of Ball State

48:28.860 --> 48:30.500
taking the wind out of the sails of Akron,

48:30.500 --> 48:31.540
it feels like they haven't met him.

48:31.540 --> 48:33.240
And then they just snatch it right back.

48:33.240 --> 48:35.280
It's just so difficult when you've got multiple guys

48:35.280 --> 48:38.200
who are just absolute shooters on the team of Ball State.

48:38.200 --> 48:39.440
That is Gug getting his third goal,

48:39.440 --> 48:41.160
meaning he's averaging a goal per game.

48:41.160 --> 48:42.000
And guess what?

48:42.000 --> 48:44.040
Fiems is also averaging a goal per game.

48:44.040 --> 48:45.400
So it's kind of difficult.

48:45.400 --> 48:46.960
You're looking at one player thinking he's the guy

48:46.960 --> 48:47.800
we got a manmark.

48:47.800 --> 48:50.120
And then the next guy just up, flip resets, double touches,

48:50.120 --> 48:52.160
does whatever he needs on top of your head.

48:52.160 --> 48:54.640
Ball State, again, putting a very clinical game up

48:54.640 --> 48:57.040
right now, consistency on both sides of the pitch.

48:57.040 --> 48:58.080
And Akron goals, well, they're

48:58.080 --> 48:59.360
starting to meet them for that.

48:59.360 --> 49:01.400
Unfortunately, they're down two games in this series.

49:01.400 --> 49:05.080
So they need to be extraordinarily careful.

49:05.080 --> 49:06.720
John, trying to throw that one middle.

49:06.720 --> 49:09.120
Two players from Ball State, a little bit of a comms in this match,

49:09.120 --> 49:10.600
or maybe they're just really don't care.

49:10.600 --> 49:12.280
They were just going for it on a pinch.

49:12.280 --> 49:14.120
Regardless, not going to work out too well,

49:14.120 --> 49:16.920
and it will put them on the back foot, as Patty takes the skies,

49:16.920 --> 49:19.560
going for two players and can't get the second bump.

49:19.560 --> 49:22.960
Both people rescue things, and maybe Ball State has bit of a counterattack.

49:22.960 --> 49:25.520
Feebs waiting, but John had been snips it out.

49:25.520 --> 49:26.920
Low boost though, unfortunately,

49:26.920 --> 49:28.920
and that's the reason he doesn't get to that ball initially.

49:28.920 --> 49:31.000
It does look like Feebs managed to own both on the other half,

49:31.000 --> 49:32.520
and he's just harassing the defense.

49:32.520 --> 49:37.120
So, Akron maybe allowing him to live a little bit longer on their own half than they had hoped for.

49:37.120 --> 49:38.640
And also, somebody's gotta shut down both.

49:38.640 --> 49:41.840
Great initial touch and beams, lurking in the wings will keep the flag going.

49:41.840 --> 49:47.400
Missed there, though, is gonna cause some issues, but Panny jumps a bit early and does completely uncontested on this ball.

49:47.400 --> 49:49.440
Even he is surprised at the amount of space being given.

49:49.440 --> 49:53.120
He tries to bring this one back down to the ground and 50 out as long as he can muster.

49:53.120 --> 49:56.960
Akron again, starting to meet these challenges, they're starting to find better opportunities,

49:56.960 --> 49:59.080
but you need to be careful of the individual pop-offs.

49:59.080 --> 50:02.920
It feels like Ball State have had a lot of airspace that has not been contested.

50:03.680 --> 50:07.000
And if Ball State still can be susceptible, especially with two players chasing him,

50:07.000 --> 50:11.800
Gah is still able to get that clear away, but Akron not necessarily able to take advantage of the counter-attacks.

50:11.800 --> 50:14.360
In fact, I can't really name too many times in which they do have counter-attacks.

50:14.360 --> 50:19.880
It's mostly through the midfield trying to double up on pressure, going through some fakes and right now, in this more,

50:19.880 --> 50:23.120
I would say, equivalent match in terms of the equilibrium being balanced out.

50:23.120 --> 50:26.960
You do see a bit more back-and-forth thing is, some things are still bread-and-butter,

50:26.960 --> 50:31.340
like backboard play up until the goal line stuff make sure this stays even but

50:31.340 --> 50:35.980
for how much longer oh can't keep it out at Jonathan off the counter gets the lead

50:35.980 --> 50:40.420
oh that's the closest we've gotten to an own goal we've had many near instances

50:40.420 --> 50:44.020
this is definitely not on target that's going off the bar now O thinks it's in

50:44.020 --> 50:47.220
so he immediately goes up you can even see he tries to turn away at the end he

50:47.220 --> 50:50.120
knows he's not meeting it off the bar he knows he's gonna meet it after

50:50.120 --> 50:53.300
bounces and unfortunately that's all you can do is just kind of accept the

50:53.300 --> 50:57.780
All right, Gigi's go next. The good thing is they've got 90 seconds left in this game.

50:57.780 --> 51:03.500
There's still plenty of time for a response at a ball state and I just do it immediately themes a shot on Torrigan and Patty to turn it away.

51:04.660 --> 51:08.900
Don't like the extension make sure oh that's the back panel. In fact, he gets a really heavy touch.

51:08.900 --> 51:13.500
He still is able to get on top and and get a demo as well. Not really gonna harm me on it too much is

51:13.500 --> 51:17.340
actually missed touches that yawn was not ready for that one. He can't steal the boost as well

51:17.340 --> 51:21.020
but obviously even when ball state messed up Acre can't react to it because what are the odds of that?

51:21.020 --> 51:28.020
Yeah, a lot of perfection being respected right now and I think that's the only concern for both teams is you do not want to be the one to make the first mistake.

51:28.020 --> 51:35.020
That is anything but a mistake. Fantastic demo play from the side of Akron and I don't know if that's a mistake, I don't know if that's just half instance, I don't know if that's good fortune.

51:35.020 --> 51:40.020
It might be for Akron though because they're trying to sneak this around, go after a couple of demos, exchange on both sides.

51:40.020 --> 51:49.020
Bill the follow-up goes right back to Phoebes, Phoebes? Maybe hoping for a teammate out-center but instead he just gives it away to Oxi who's got a full tank of boost now to try and clear this off as half.

51:49.020 --> 51:53.580
He will not be able to do so and some assistance from Jonathan is required but thieves a half ball

51:53.580 --> 51:56.220
I sent it right back to midfield where go will meet the ball

51:56.420 --> 51:58.380
Jonathan underneath it to keep this one close

51:58.380 --> 52:02.980
But both teams starting to get heavy touches and that's only favoring Akron as they waste more time off the clock

52:03.220 --> 52:05.140
An excellent boost yellow love from Patty

52:05.140 --> 52:08.900
He could have turned immediately challenged gobbity do gobb is not going anywhere with that type of catch

52:08.900 --> 52:16.020
So now it's up all state to go forward with this last real ditch effort oath around one right to Patty

52:16.020 --> 52:17.860
and this is where the time wasting begins.

52:17.860 --> 52:18.620
They're holding it up.

52:18.620 --> 52:20.940
Oxy will spike it, and this series will not

52:20.940 --> 52:22.820
be that easy for Ball State.

52:22.820 --> 52:25.020
Akron Gold getting one on the board.

52:25.020 --> 52:26.500
Still one goal ball game, though,

52:26.500 --> 52:29.540
and that says every game has been so far in this series.

52:29.540 --> 52:31.220
It's been very close on both sides,

52:31.220 --> 52:33.380
but the biggest difference in this game, in my opinion,

52:33.380 --> 52:35.660
Taco, is the lack of offensive pressure

52:35.660 --> 52:37.740
that Ball State were able to produce.

52:37.740 --> 52:39.020
Last couple of games we've talked about.

52:39.020 --> 52:41.580
It's been double digit shots pretty much every time.

52:41.580 --> 52:43.180
This one, four total shots.

52:43.180 --> 52:44.980
Ball State did not get to live on the Akron

52:44.980 --> 52:48.220
and a half were nearly as long, and that really stifled their production on offense

52:48.220 --> 52:51.780
and gave a lot more opportunity for Akron to just kind of throw a hook in here, throw

52:51.780 --> 52:55.540
an uppercut there, and those little jabs have just kind of thrown ballstate off their game

52:55.540 --> 52:56.540
in its entirety.

52:56.540 --> 53:01.580
Yeah, and being able to keep things alively is really the Akron lifeblood of a really

53:01.580 --> 53:04.100
good place to have that this university has always had.

53:04.100 --> 53:07.700
We have always got to define them somewhat endearingly, but as annoying, they are

53:07.700 --> 53:10.140
not a fun team to play against because they go for a lot of demos, they go for

53:10.140 --> 53:13.260
a lot of weird rotations, they do a lot of things that make you scratch your head,

53:13.260 --> 53:16.200
because they're playing aimlessly, but because they are trusting each other's

53:16.200 --> 53:19.740
rotation on that improvisational ability. And of course they vibe in the

53:19.740 --> 53:22.980
comms. You can see them joking at each other, still yelling at each other, just

53:22.980 --> 53:26.500
being goofy, but that's part of the play style. I think Ball State is acutely

53:26.500 --> 53:30.660
aware of it. Like we said, these teams play each other constantly across so

53:30.660 --> 53:34.060
many different tournaments. This is very much kind of like a rivalry in the

53:34.060 --> 53:37.900
Midwest and for good reasons. It's always back and forth. It very much

53:37.900 --> 53:40.300
is. And again, the vibes are always high for Akron. For those that are

53:40.300 --> 53:44.820
Maybe wondering yeah, that's the Akron quote-unquote a team. That's the blue team on the other side there

53:44.820 --> 53:48.420
I believe that was both in Billy. Oh as well as bullseye in the background just kind of hyping them up

53:48.420 --> 53:52.740
It's a little bit funny to me to see oxy just kind of you know calm cool and collected there

53:52.740 --> 53:57.340
Meanwhile both his teammates and the other team at the university are just partying and popping off

53:57.340 --> 54:01.820
Hey, man, whatever gets the job done and right now it's looking like it might work out for Akron

54:01.820 --> 54:06.060
That's another one to start off game number four. That's gotta be a record for slowest goal

54:10.300 --> 54:12.580
and crawling on it for Oath can't get around it,

54:12.580 --> 54:14.700
but hey, it's kickoff goal well worked.

54:14.700 --> 54:17.020
And again, it is acronym momentum that is too straight

54:17.020 --> 54:18.380
with the first goal on the board.

54:18.380 --> 54:20.260
Am I crazy in saying that acronym's kind of just winning

54:20.260 --> 54:21.340
off a aura right now?

54:21.340 --> 54:22.340
Is that like incorrect?

54:22.340 --> 54:24.500
Is it feels kind of accurate, but also feels like it

54:24.500 --> 54:26.060
is service to the offense that they've started

54:26.060 --> 54:26.900
to produce at this point?

54:26.900 --> 54:28.780
Again, it's a much improved version of acronym

54:28.780 --> 54:30.700
we've seen as the series has gone on.

54:30.700 --> 54:32.860
The problem is, ball state, feel pretty good.

54:32.860 --> 54:34.780
You want to bump, we can do it too.

54:34.780 --> 54:37.500
That is 100% faith right there from jumping up for this one

54:37.500 --> 54:39.540
because he does say, I'm not going to get there first,

54:39.540 --> 54:42.260
But I know that Oath will get to that defender first,

54:42.260 --> 54:44.420
smacks him down, spikes him into the turf

54:44.420 --> 54:46.900
and then be able to put that one equivalently on.

54:46.900 --> 54:51.380
Again, 15 seconds in and it's always punch it, counter punch.

54:51.380 --> 54:53.900
And the counter punches are more than likely coming from Go.

54:53.900 --> 54:55.980
We keep talking about just what the average is of players.

54:55.980 --> 54:57.060
That's the fourth game in a row

54:57.060 --> 54:59.420
that Go has gotten at least a goal so far.

54:59.420 --> 55:01.980
He has been unbelievably consistent

55:01.980 --> 55:04.260
in terms of offensive production here for Ball State.

55:04.260 --> 55:06.540
But again, both teams have been relatively even

55:06.540 --> 55:07.780
on almost every single stat.

55:07.780 --> 55:10.020
We talked about the shots being in favor of Ball State early,

55:10.020 --> 55:11.380
but the series has gone on.

55:11.380 --> 55:13.580
Akron have found ways to even that out as well

55:13.580 --> 55:16.180
and just produce more offense that's threatening at this point.

55:16.180 --> 55:18.500
Another good example is they forced the final defender back

55:18.500 --> 55:19.860
and Deeps doesn't have any boost,

55:19.860 --> 55:21.660
so there's no quick escape for Ball State.

55:21.660 --> 55:22.740
Oatfield will dive at this one,

55:22.740 --> 55:24.660
get a couple of good fifties, but it's up to Goh,

55:24.660 --> 55:27.740
who's the only player with any booth on his team

55:27.740 --> 55:30.140
to actually get this off the line.

55:30.140 --> 55:31.620
I like to highlight, just by them,

55:31.620 --> 55:32.660
a little bit of time is over.

55:32.660 --> 55:33.700
They're just going to send in with Zip,

55:33.700 --> 55:35.220
with the arrow boost to the guy who has all of it.

55:35.220 --> 55:38.780
low down, and the fake from all, look at that!

55:38.780 --> 55:41.260
It's like a knife cutting through butter.

55:41.260 --> 55:42.180
And this is the problem.

55:42.180 --> 55:44.300
Akron keep giving a bunch of time

55:44.300 --> 55:45.660
to everybody on ball state.

55:45.660 --> 55:48.060
So ball state know that there's a specific timing

55:48.060 --> 55:49.620
to when the challenge is coming through.

55:49.620 --> 55:51.580
Oat knows, he's gonna die for that one immediately.

55:51.580 --> 55:53.380
And he goes, all right, if you don't touch this,

55:53.380 --> 55:55.020
I've got a clear shot.

55:55.020 --> 55:56.980
If you do touch this, I've got a good 50.

55:56.980 --> 55:58.540
The first of the two options happens.

55:58.540 --> 56:02.820
He cruises on by, that's another goal for ball state.

56:02.820 --> 56:04.180
And it might even be another,

56:04.180 --> 56:07.860
Not for the bump from Patty, very heads up play to prevent a third.

56:07.860 --> 56:10.620
Not even worse, that shot down field actually was wide open,

56:10.620 --> 56:12.820
but I don't think they realized that when they had the clear,

56:12.820 --> 56:15.540
so that one potentially a freebie that's going to go out a window,

56:15.540 --> 56:18.500
but as you mentioned, heads up play, and that's what really it has all been.

56:18.500 --> 56:22.380
How many times have we seen a lead blocker or someone hitting someone in midair?

56:22.380 --> 56:23.740
It is about that predictive play.

56:23.740 --> 56:28.340
Everybody has to be on their game, just like Oxy, cherry picking down field.

56:28.340 --> 56:29.980
I'm glad Oxy's the one to score this,

56:29.980 --> 56:32.820
because if not, I was about to pick on him instead of the cherry pick there.

56:32.820 --> 56:36.260
He had four points before this play, finally gets on the board.

56:36.260 --> 56:39.660
It took him a minute and a half to see something significant, but it ties up the game.

56:39.660 --> 56:41.160
And really do like that as well.

56:41.160 --> 56:45.100
The ball will always move faster than the player, so knocking that downfield into Oxy's path,

56:45.100 --> 56:50.960
Yonahkin could have taken a shot, but trusts the young gun on the squad to be able to handle business.

56:50.960 --> 56:55.100
Just like Patty is going to trust himself on this air dribble, seems to say not so fast.

56:55.100 --> 56:59.700
Will tag him to slow him down, and then here comes Oxy, but again, right into Gus Bumper.

56:59.700 --> 57:01.940
There's a long ball downfield, but for what reason there?

57:01.940 --> 57:05.100
Otho's get to steal the mid boost, but his follow-up play is just non-existent.

57:05.100 --> 57:07.900
I believe he was good downfields who just doesn't have any boost to do anything,

57:07.900 --> 57:11.460
and now it gives a free counter-attack to Akron, who absolutely had possession.

57:11.860 --> 57:14.940
Unfortunately, I don't think Oxy really coordinated that cutout at midfields

57:14.940 --> 57:17.260
with either of his teammates, so it just catches him off guard.

57:17.260 --> 57:20.580
Now, it's Phoebes to make the follow-up challenge, and Yonathan floating in air.

57:20.580 --> 57:24.300
I mean, Patty's got to make the challenge and hope that Oxy with a full tank can get the follow-up.

57:24.300 --> 57:28.700
He gets actually a perfect pass out, and Phoebes knows the follow-up will probably be just as precise,

57:28.700 --> 57:30.020
so he will cut it out.

57:30.020 --> 57:31.660
Both teams aren't even footing right now.

57:31.660 --> 57:33.140
This one pops out center.

57:33.140 --> 57:34.020
Where is Ball State?

57:34.020 --> 57:37.140
Shot on target and the lead block was not enough.

57:37.140 --> 57:38.420
Yeah, he's got to be really careful.

57:38.420 --> 57:39.660
A couple times now, I've noticed him.

57:39.660 --> 57:40.740
He's roaming around the midfield.

57:40.740 --> 57:42.700
He's trying to be chaotic, but he's not grabbing pads.

57:42.700 --> 57:43.740
He's on zero boost.

57:43.740 --> 57:45.660
A lot of these plays, and he's kind of just forced

57:45.660 --> 57:47.740
to kind of stare and just hopefully have

57:47.740 --> 57:49.100
his sheer presence be intimidating.

57:49.100 --> 57:51.300
But Ball State is going to sniff that out one way

57:51.300 --> 57:52.020
or the other.

57:52.020 --> 57:53.900
So maybe he's got to rely on the one, two punch

57:53.900 --> 57:54.980
of Patty and Yonathan.

57:54.980 --> 57:59.100
That's an insane ankle from Patrick P. Patterson.

57:59.100 --> 58:03.840
Remember how we said that Patty's got those pop-off moments and sometimes you just need to let him do him?

58:03.840 --> 58:06.940
Yeah, this is what we're talking about. That's barely an angle.

58:06.940 --> 58:12.300
I want to give credit to Jonathan as a 1-2 punch, but brother, that's all one. That's all Patty.

58:12.900 --> 58:18.580
That is absurd from Akron Gold, and that is exactly the player that we know Patty to be.

58:18.580 --> 58:22.220
He was on blue, the A-team, he transferred over, we're wondering what's going to happen.

58:22.220 --> 58:25.740
Well, not much, he's still that guy for Akron.

58:25.740 --> 58:29.040
Look at the squad goal coming together, getting the lead,

58:29.040 --> 58:31.300
and then hopefully building off of it,

58:31.300 --> 58:35.460
Akshay from the ceiling, unfortunately, meets the crossbar.

58:35.460 --> 58:37.220
And all of a sudden, that fear,

58:37.220 --> 58:39.380
that unfortunate fear of ball state

58:39.380 --> 58:40.780
is starting creeping into their mind.

58:40.780 --> 58:42.860
They lose this one, we're moving to game five

58:42.860 --> 58:45.740
in a reverse sweep on the line here for Akron,

58:45.740 --> 58:48.540
a team that has done it many a time before.

58:48.540 --> 58:50.060
And honestly, I think everything's starting

58:50.060 --> 58:50.940
to turn Akron here.

58:50.940 --> 58:52.780
More shots on offense, more defense,

58:52.780 --> 58:55.660
more everything just seems to be in their control.

58:55.660 --> 58:58.100
and Ball State heads up to BK now, that's their coach.

58:58.100 --> 59:00.380
He needs to get in their ear and start trying to change some stuff up,

59:00.380 --> 59:02.980
because even these plays just don't seem to be enough.

59:02.980 --> 59:07.900
A clear double touch, a great one at that, and still Patty's in the way.

59:07.900 --> 59:11.020
Unfortunately, Patty has hit Flow State and Ball State can't do much about that.

59:11.020 --> 59:14.100
Maybe just go around him or maybe just take him off of the field,

59:14.100 --> 59:18.180
because that seems to be the primary position that they need to find themselves in.

59:18.180 --> 59:20.700
Patty is that last defender and he's doing well,

59:20.700 --> 59:22.780
but also notice how the speed of Akron,

59:22.780 --> 59:27.560
They're playing just up the park with what ball state is matching and getting most threes as well

59:27.560 --> 59:32.620
However low boost still always an issue to players the ball and the eaves not able to get the better of them

59:32.860 --> 59:38.160
Founce out does technically do the oath and oh boy it forces a triple commit out of Akron

59:38.160 --> 59:41.780
All state if there was ever a chance for you guys to take advantage of their awkwardness

59:41.780 --> 59:46.560
It would be now flick around one but not around yonathan. He's got a full tank and a reset

59:46.900 --> 59:51.420
I'm gonna challenge him eventually oath will get there and he's actually just gonna bake it fake it out

59:51.420 --> 59:55.900
immediately goes for the head once he can't get any contact ball state they

59:55.900 --> 59:58.860
are trying to get creative they're doing as we asked what they've got under a

59:58.860 --> 01:00:04.260
minute to get at least one oxy deflection trying to get back on open

01:00:04.260 --> 01:00:07.140
and said he'll grab the boost and he'll go right back up to say no to God

01:00:07.140 --> 01:00:11.060
that's way too slow of a double tap and not only that young gun oxy gonna

01:00:11.060 --> 01:00:15.060
keep on going getting those dunks of wasting down this time or maybe just

01:00:15.060 --> 01:00:20.740
facilitating one more on top this is this one hurts no other way to say

01:00:20.740 --> 01:00:24.580
here. Oath is thinking he's got time. He's expecting to take stuff aside while the touch just gets a

01:00:24.580 --> 01:00:28.820
little bit too heavy. And all of a sudden, Yonathan's immediate challenge finds an open net with two

01:00:28.820 --> 01:00:33.140
other players rotating center. Not really thinking that could even go close to their own goal.

01:00:33.140 --> 01:00:37.540
Four to two here. I think we're getting game five. The reverse sweep in the cards here for

01:00:37.540 --> 01:00:42.420
Akron Gold. All they have to do is hold on, do it one more time. And we keep saying all these

01:00:42.420 --> 01:00:46.340
scenarios about playoffs and being able to get into top four. Akron Gold definitely has the

01:00:46.340 --> 01:00:48.140
the longest path to go for it.

01:00:48.140 --> 01:00:50.940
But every series win gets them that much more closer.

01:00:50.940 --> 01:00:53.060
It keeps them in at those potentials.

01:00:53.060 --> 01:00:55.980
But with Ball State, it's the very same thing.

01:00:55.980 --> 01:00:59.420
And now both teams have their records in their own hands.

01:00:59.420 --> 01:01:01.660
But it's going to have to go the distance.

01:01:01.660 --> 01:01:04.780
Champs field to see how this one's going to close out.

01:01:04.780 --> 01:01:07.300
And this is the fear that we had for Ball State,

01:01:07.300 --> 01:01:08.980
which is that they are very good.

01:01:08.980 --> 01:01:11.300
And oftentimes, they're able to set a bar

01:01:11.300 --> 01:01:12.500
that you have to pass.

01:01:12.500 --> 01:01:15.380
But are they able to ever stretch far enough up

01:01:15.380 --> 01:01:17.220
that they can actually surpass some of the best teams

01:01:17.220 --> 01:01:19.220
when they are playing at their peak.

01:01:19.220 --> 01:01:21.580
And I don't think this is an exaggeration to state

01:01:21.580 --> 01:01:24.080
that Patty is hitting his peak right now, man.

01:01:24.080 --> 01:01:25.720
If you let him get into this form,

01:01:25.720 --> 01:01:26.820
it is a terrifying thing.

01:01:26.820 --> 01:01:29.220
Many of good teams have lost to this Patty.

01:01:29.220 --> 01:01:32.180
He is one opens in our old format

01:01:32.180 --> 01:01:34.500
as a part of that Akron Blue roster.

01:01:34.500 --> 01:01:36.020
He's a very talented individual.

01:01:36.020 --> 01:01:37.820
And unfortunately for Ball State,

01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:39.900
their star player for the first half of this series

01:01:39.900 --> 01:01:40.940
has gone quiet.

01:01:40.940 --> 01:01:42.340
The Neves has not scored a goal

01:01:42.340 --> 01:01:44.900
or gotten an assist since game two.

01:01:44.900 --> 01:01:47.220
And after us talking him up to the first two games,

01:01:47.220 --> 01:01:48.860
it's a bit surprising.

01:01:48.860 --> 01:01:50.260
Yeah, the patty has activated.

01:01:50.260 --> 01:01:51.180
Look at this replay.

01:01:51.180 --> 01:01:53.900
Oh, that is such an insane angle.

01:01:53.900 --> 01:01:55.780
Half of that is sometimes you just don't even expect him

01:01:55.780 --> 01:01:56.740
to be able to get that on target.

01:01:56.740 --> 01:01:58.180
Like, OK, let's play the ball off the backboard.

01:01:58.180 --> 01:01:58.780
Oh, that's just in.

01:01:58.780 --> 01:02:00.180
OK, well, I guess we've just got

01:02:00.180 --> 01:02:01.820
to throw up our hands and sigh.

01:02:01.820 --> 01:02:04.020
Or we could just emote and do whatever Akron is doing

01:02:04.020 --> 01:02:05.420
because, again, vibes are high.

01:02:05.420 --> 01:02:06.660
And why shouldn't they be?

01:02:06.660 --> 01:02:08.540
They have brought this one back, as you said,

01:02:08.540 --> 01:02:09.820
reverse sweep on the cards.

01:02:09.820 --> 01:02:11.980
And I think for Paul State, it's not even necessarily panic.

01:02:11.980 --> 01:02:13.580
You're not going to be blown out of these games.

01:02:13.580 --> 01:02:15.860
You're just starting to get edged out on these fifties.

01:02:15.860 --> 01:02:17.580
You're not actually getting these passes middle.

01:02:17.580 --> 01:02:19.100
Your shots are lacking that power.

01:02:19.100 --> 01:02:20.260
You don't have that lead blocker.

01:02:20.260 --> 01:02:23.020
All these tiny things that we're working in games one and two

01:02:23.020 --> 01:02:23.820
are no longer.

01:02:23.820 --> 01:02:26.540
And that's why Rocket League, or really any e-sport,

01:02:26.540 --> 01:02:27.700
can be like a chess match.

01:02:27.700 --> 01:02:29.860
It's about countering the opponent's momentum

01:02:29.860 --> 01:02:32.340
and figuring out a new strategy in the end game.

01:02:32.340 --> 01:02:35.180
And there's no better end game than on this exact map.

01:02:35.180 --> 01:02:36.660
What more game determined who's

01:02:36.660 --> 01:02:39.060
going to take such an important series for both

01:02:39.060 --> 01:02:40.900
these teams' league play destinies?

01:02:40.900 --> 01:02:42.500
Like we talked about, for acting goal,

01:02:42.500 --> 01:02:45.460
They kind of need to win this one in order to keep themselves in contention.

01:02:45.460 --> 01:02:50.500
They're not technically eliminated, but the odds drop astronomically if they end up losing this one.

01:02:50.500 --> 01:02:55.060
For Ball State, it's a similar idea as the team pinch gets fired down field.

01:02:55.060 --> 01:02:59.940
But we're going to ignore the fact that already it feels like Akron or just got a free styling here.

01:02:59.940 --> 01:03:01.380
Yes, the confidence is up.

01:03:01.380 --> 01:03:04.060
Ball State, you need to try and dissuade them.

01:03:04.060 --> 01:03:08.980
And for any other team, I might say that's just kind of wacky and wild why you're doing that, but that was accurate.

01:03:08.980 --> 01:03:09.780
That was in the comp.

01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:11.420
That was comp three seconds before it even happened.

01:03:11.420 --> 01:03:14.020
So I love that play and I hope they do even more of it.

01:03:14.020 --> 01:03:16.580
But I would also love them to get it together a little on defense.

01:03:16.580 --> 01:03:18.460
They're backpedaling, trying to get some possession,

01:03:18.460 --> 01:03:19.780
but instead it's going to be Oath.

01:03:19.780 --> 01:03:21.860
I would say in contestant bid, this is that first touch.

01:03:21.860 --> 01:03:24.300
Feebs tries his best, but can't get it below the bar.

01:03:24.300 --> 01:03:26.700
I'm not really sure what the idea of that play was initially.

01:03:26.700 --> 01:03:28.060
But all right, Oath, at least you

01:03:28.060 --> 01:03:29.380
can get the extra touch off the ceiling,

01:03:29.380 --> 01:03:30.340
get a pass out to Feebs.

01:03:30.340 --> 01:03:31.860
Getting him activated in offense

01:03:31.860 --> 01:03:33.860
is a must right now for Ball State.

01:03:33.860 --> 01:03:35.580
Also not making mistakes on defense.

01:03:35.580 --> 01:03:37.700
That's real awkward from the initial challenge from Feebs.

01:03:37.700 --> 01:03:39.660
Goa has to kind of clean up the mistake of both him

01:03:39.660 --> 01:03:41.220
and Oath on the other end.

01:03:41.220 --> 01:03:44.620
And we'll get to the backboard for Akron, but we'll get one even further.

01:03:44.620 --> 01:03:48.420
Not necessarily, as Oxy has to pop this one out center.

01:03:48.420 --> 01:03:54.220
Paddy's there, maybe this is his run interference, but he's not necessarily doing a great job of that up until he gets the demo.

01:03:54.220 --> 01:03:59.720
Now he'll stop any sort of counter-attack from Ball State, but Feebs keep this one close and maybe get some sort of offense.

01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.120
Oxy gonna be on this one, but he will be downfield again, but so will Feebs.

01:04:04.120 --> 01:04:10.520
He's almost man-marking that one path. He's gonna try and get that 50 as well, but Paddy able to get in the way just in time.

01:04:10.520 --> 01:04:16.280
Oh, facilitating down over to God, but in that path it seems like Akron's starting to lock down on defense.

01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:23.280
That was almost kind of their weakness, but those two games they won, they did score first, so if the pattern holds one more goal for Akron,

01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:29.480
they could potentially put them in the lead, especially with Oxy, uncontested, but he can't get it past that final stretch.

01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.520
I like that we're seeing at least somebody held back right now for Ball State, though.

01:04:32.520 --> 01:04:36.320
They recognize that the open nets and the shots just on target shouldn't be getting past them at any point,

01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:39.560
so they just need somebody boosted up and prepared on defense.

01:04:39.560 --> 01:04:41.980
It's great backup from Oath there as well.

01:04:41.980 --> 01:04:44.060
Initial defense can't get around the lead blocker,

01:04:44.060 --> 01:04:46.460
so he just dives in to prevent a double touch.

01:04:46.460 --> 01:04:49.540
Huge plays early here from Ball State.

01:04:49.540 --> 01:04:52.420
Jonathan almost getting that 50, but instead,

01:04:52.420 --> 01:04:53.940
leaps over one, going for the block.

01:04:53.940 --> 01:04:55.700
Oath, Aztec take the hand off, but instead,

01:04:55.700 --> 01:04:57.060
has to double it middle.

01:04:57.060 --> 01:04:58.580
And Feebs wants absolutely none of that.

01:04:58.580 --> 01:05:00.060
And I think we're going to see a lot of that.

01:05:00.060 --> 01:05:01.460
We're going to see some risks being taken,

01:05:01.460 --> 01:05:02.740
but I think if you're third man,

01:05:02.740 --> 01:05:04.300
there's absolutely no way you're going to dive in.

01:05:04.300 --> 01:05:05.580
You're not going to be the guy that makes

01:05:05.580 --> 01:05:06.900
that fatal mistake.

01:05:06.900 --> 01:05:11.660
Uh-oh! Might have made a fatal mistake if Yonathan had wrapped himself around that one.

01:05:11.660 --> 01:05:17.880
Fairly close angle. It was never gonna be easy, but at this level sometimes you just have to expect that they'll make that touch.

01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:23.480
Gah! You thought that touch wasn't gonna be made, but did he expect the follow-up downfield that goes back to Yonathan?

01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:27.920
Oxi did! He's expecting a very lack-statistical defense, and I'm a bit surprised by it!

01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:32.220
That initial touch showed no effort, and then Ballstink just kinda lets this happen!

01:05:32.220 --> 01:05:36.100
I love this touch from Yonathan. It's not even something I thought he was gonna try to pull off.

01:05:36.100 --> 01:05:37.900
But then he's going to try to flick in or back pass it

01:05:37.900 --> 01:05:38.740
or kill it in place.

01:05:38.740 --> 01:05:40.100
But no, he dishes it middle.

01:05:40.100 --> 01:05:42.060
Oxy gets an excellent 50.

01:05:42.060 --> 01:05:43.400
And odds and less, defender I think

01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:44.740
might have just assumed Patty was going

01:05:44.740 --> 01:05:46.020
to fake it based on the angles.

01:05:46.020 --> 01:05:47.900
But no, he slots it, gets the lead.

01:05:47.900 --> 01:05:49.740
And again, is the pattern going to hold?

01:05:49.740 --> 01:05:52.220
That has led to a lot for Akron.

01:05:52.220 --> 01:05:55.500
But not if the kickoff heads right into Phoebes' path.

01:05:55.500 --> 01:05:57.500
Finally, Phoebes is back on the board.

01:05:57.500 --> 01:05:59.500
His first goal in four games.

01:05:59.500 --> 01:06:00.980
And yes, God does lead the plop.

01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:02.860
And notice who actually gets the bump.

01:06:02.860 --> 01:06:04.060
It is Phoebes.

01:06:04.060 --> 01:06:05.540
I'm going to put that a little asterisk

01:06:05.540 --> 01:06:06.700
for the assist from Other.

01:06:06.700 --> 01:06:08.660
It's a good one as well, but Thebes, man,

01:06:08.660 --> 01:06:10.660
glad to see you back on the board.

01:06:10.660 --> 01:06:12.260
And Thebes, I need him to wake up

01:06:12.260 --> 01:06:13.780
because we know what he's capable of.

01:06:13.780 --> 01:06:15.220
We said he's quiet, but it doesn't mean

01:06:15.220 --> 01:06:16.260
you have to score a possible game.

01:06:16.260 --> 01:06:17.380
And honestly, I don't really blame them

01:06:17.380 --> 01:06:18.820
based on how accurate it's been playing.

01:06:18.820 --> 01:06:21.740
So if he can get back in, I would love to see Ball State

01:06:21.740 --> 01:06:23.420
become an offensive fury yet again,

01:06:23.420 --> 01:06:24.900
but they need to be able to patch up

01:06:24.900 --> 01:06:26.060
these gaps in the midfield.

01:06:26.060 --> 01:06:27.180
That was a lot of space for Oxy.

01:06:27.180 --> 01:06:28.740
This time doesn't work out.

01:06:28.740 --> 01:06:32.900
Excellent pass up to Gub, but unfortunately intercepted.

01:06:32.900 --> 01:06:35.060
Thebes, not the greatest touch out of midfield.

01:06:35.060 --> 01:06:37.260
I can stay close to- Okay, he cannot stay close to it.

01:06:37.260 --> 01:06:39.260
I was gonna say maybe he can show some more resistance.

01:06:39.260 --> 01:06:41.260
I guess the smoke screen was technically enough.

01:06:41.260 --> 01:06:45.060
And as Gull gets around Elise Yonathan, he will force Oxy to come in as well.

01:06:45.060 --> 01:06:48.060
Thepes? No boost here. I don't think he's gonna have much of a play.

01:06:48.060 --> 01:06:51.060
He'll try to be the lead block, but he won't make no contact.

01:06:51.060 --> 01:06:54.060
And instead it is up to Gull to fire this downfield where Oxy...

01:06:54.060 --> 01:06:56.060
Oh, that's a couple of clean touches off the backboard.

01:06:56.060 --> 01:06:58.460
I didn't know if he was gonna be able to clear that all too easily.

01:06:58.460 --> 01:07:02.060
Apparently he did, and he'll get that one off the half, but only momentarily.

01:07:02.060 --> 01:07:04.060
Now Patty, in a bit of an awkward position,

01:07:04.060 --> 01:07:10.220
He passes it down to Goh, the save from Oxy required, and boy oh boy, is Patty thankful for Oxy on that play.

01:07:10.220 --> 01:07:14.940
Yeah, he really made a mule with that one, and honestly he needs to be able to get real close to this one as well.

01:07:14.940 --> 01:07:24.380
Free jump, fake down, Phoebes, denied by Oxy, the desperation leap, keeping him in this one as Goh gets a double tap off the ceiling, but not much more than that.

01:07:24.380 --> 01:07:30.940
Phoebes gotta be careful here, a low boost for players on Akron, but eventually a challenge will be made, and Slippery said doesn't really get it past any of them.

01:07:30.940 --> 01:07:34.140
And Jonathan is there for the 50, but he does steal the boost out of mid, which means that

01:07:34.140 --> 01:07:36.860
there should be an extended play now for Ball State.

01:07:36.860 --> 01:07:39.020
Addy tries to take this to the side wall.

01:07:39.020 --> 01:07:41.180
Feebs, not a great 50, but at least does there.

01:07:41.180 --> 01:07:42.780
Or excuse me, oh, to back it up.

01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:46.420
Instead, Gull on the side wall, try to pass it back out into the corner.

01:07:46.420 --> 01:07:47.420
Slow burn effect right now.

01:07:47.420 --> 01:07:49.980
Akron, more and more awkward out of every single play.

01:07:49.980 --> 01:07:53.940
They need to be careful as the final 30 seconds approaches and more shots go against

01:07:53.940 --> 01:07:54.940
them.

01:07:54.940 --> 01:07:57.300
Well, the natural that everyone looks to overtime.

01:07:57.300 --> 01:08:00.460
But honestly, when he seems to play, it is looking a little flimsy.

01:08:00.460 --> 01:08:04.860
And we got just nerves starting to creep up on everybody as nobody is around for this one.

01:08:04.860 --> 01:08:06.940
And maybe Oath can have the last laugh.

01:08:06.940 --> 01:08:10.780
Final seconds, Oxy with a deflection, go with the beat of the top.

01:08:10.780 --> 01:08:12.780
Wait a minute, there's a bump in the backfield.

01:08:12.780 --> 01:08:14.060
Thieves is thinking about it.

01:08:14.060 --> 01:08:19.660
But Patty will gladly escort that one back to midfield as Ball State will take one more

01:08:19.660 --> 01:08:22.780
heave, but Oxy's not taking any chances at all.

01:08:22.780 --> 01:08:25.180
OT to decide who takes it.

01:08:25.180 --> 01:08:28.380
Couple of safe plays at the end of regulation there and like you said, I don't really

01:08:28.380 --> 01:08:30.800
play anybody for trying to play safe rather than sorry.

01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:32.340
If Bebs had cut there and it failed,

01:08:32.340 --> 01:08:33.460
it would have been a counter attack.

01:08:33.460 --> 01:08:35.500
If we had seen a player from Akron try to extend it,

01:08:35.500 --> 01:08:37.620
it could have been Ball State to end the game.

01:08:37.620 --> 01:08:40.100
Both teams in a bit of a nervous position right now

01:08:40.100 --> 01:08:41.940
and it seems like we're going back to a position

01:08:41.940 --> 01:08:43.900
that was familiar at the end of the game as well.

01:08:43.900 --> 01:08:45.420
Ball State back in the driver's seat,

01:08:45.420 --> 01:08:47.980
they immediately start off OT on offense.

01:08:48.860 --> 01:08:50.060
Bebs, excellent touch.

01:08:50.060 --> 01:08:51.380
He might even get a 50 as well.

01:08:51.380 --> 01:08:53.740
Patty's trying to channel to the corner and he will

01:08:53.740 --> 01:08:55.780
but unfortunately we'll give up that corner boost

01:08:55.780 --> 01:08:58.580
Not for a beefy 50 from Yonathan.

01:08:58.580 --> 01:09:00.680
Everything resetting, Oxy trying to do his best,

01:09:00.680 --> 01:09:03.520
but will dive in and with Gah, dance fast a second,

01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:04.580
trying to get the third.

01:09:04.580 --> 01:09:08.300
Flick high, faves it's only him with a reset on the line,

01:09:08.300 --> 01:09:09.500
but saved away.

01:09:09.500 --> 01:09:13.260
Oh, with the put back, he's sat on the Goomba stump

01:09:13.260 --> 01:09:14.580
to halt him in place.

01:09:14.580 --> 01:09:16.380
Akron barely holding on.

01:09:16.380 --> 01:09:18.220
They just need one more save,

01:09:18.220 --> 01:09:20.220
and Patty and Oxy will provide.

01:09:20.220 --> 01:09:22.820
Oxy, unfortunately, Oxy luckily, excuse me,

01:09:22.820 --> 01:09:24.620
did not have a flip reset against him.

01:09:24.620 --> 01:09:27.200
Oath otherwise would have probably put that on target.

01:09:27.200 --> 01:09:30.120
Things get awkward there for Akron, but they are able to survive,

01:09:30.120 --> 01:09:33.160
but maybe only momentarily, because here we go yet again.

01:09:33.160 --> 01:09:35.440
Go off the backboard, looking for a block against Oxy.

01:09:35.440 --> 01:09:36.440
We'll not find it.

01:09:36.440 --> 01:09:38.760
Otho cuts out of Midfield to keep this on the half,

01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:41.520
and Patty's got to dance around a couple of demos against Feebs.

01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:44.280
He still doesn't have any boost, so this clear down field

01:09:44.280 --> 01:09:46.640
will have to be a time to retreat and grab some.

01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:48.200
Jonathan, though, is going to stay aggressive.

01:09:48.200 --> 01:09:50.000
He immediately needs a challenge in the corner,

01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:52.760
and now Oxy looking out of Midfield will do the same.

01:09:52.760 --> 01:09:57.560
Akron, the transition and offense was instantaneous and now it's Ball State who are on the back heel.

01:09:58.280 --> 01:10:06.080
Yeah, it was looking honestly a lot like Game 1 and 2 earlier, but now it's Akron with a bit of space, but not a lot of real angles to go for.

01:10:06.080 --> 01:10:13.760
Oxy just has to ditch that one. Yonathan into the ceiling trying to trip up Gah, but it's going to take a lot to get past a man like that and have been just made a main event.

01:10:14.160 --> 01:10:22.360
And now, Ball State maybe trying to set up camp, but honestly they're positioning well and oh, he's setting himself up well. Reset! Back post! That is why he's go-

01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:28.760
Denying their first sweep against Akron Gold and doing it in style.

01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:31.760
Great lock into the reset. Great extra touch.

01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:34.760
If it wasn't going to be of that caliber, it wasn't going in.

01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:41.760
And Ball State, they stay alive in the hunt for playoffs as they get the 3-2-3 over Akron Gold.

01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:48.760
I mean, thank goodness I saw Luigi, Ball State alum in the chat, crashing out at the mere concept that Akron Gold could reverse sweep.

01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:50.480
But hey, they're just that good.

01:10:50.480 --> 01:10:52.880
But Ball State, just a little bit better.

01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:55.480
Ultimately, our predictions stay pretty consistent.

01:10:55.480 --> 01:11:00.000
Provided Nervanta will be able to stomach not having that one

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:00.640
go his way.

01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:02.800
But regardless, yeah, Ball State is good.

01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:04.640
We know that this was going to be a close one.

01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:06.720
But Ball State always seems to find that clutch

01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:07.480
in those moments.

01:11:07.480 --> 01:11:09.400
And how many times have we had Oath be

01:11:09.400 --> 01:11:10.760
able to make that play as well?

01:11:10.760 --> 01:11:12.640
Really fitting that he is the player

01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:15.880
to be able to make sure that game five goes their way.

01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:17.800
And in such an important match, they're

01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:22.440
higher up in the leaderboard, a bit more realistic that they can make that top four and this is just step number one.

01:11:22.440 --> 01:11:31.920
It's good to see again, we were hoping that teams would be able to sort of weather the storm there and put up a performance in the final parts of that game that, you know, were really worthy of what he was doing earlier in the series.

01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:43.240
He does exactly that. He gets a goal, he gets an assist, he gets 100% goal participation in the final game of the series and really that's what you want to see out of a player of his caliber and in his freshman year here for collegiate rock league.

01:11:43.240 --> 01:11:46.240
So again, really the correcting of the issues for ball state

01:11:46.240 --> 01:11:47.560
is what wins them out at the end.

01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:49.400
And it feels good to see considering,

01:11:49.400 --> 01:11:50.680
dude, I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:53.120
Games three and four were terrifying.

01:11:53.120 --> 01:11:53.920
A little bit.

01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:55.800
I was about to say, I'm like, wait, what are you going to say?

01:11:55.800 --> 01:11:56.720
What attitude are you going to say?

01:11:56.720 --> 01:11:57.200
Terrifying?

01:11:57.200 --> 01:11:58.200
I think it's pretty apt.

01:11:58.200 --> 01:11:59.760
I'm really just what we were witnessing.

01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:01.040
It was going all over the place.

01:12:01.040 --> 01:12:02.600
But I think both teams kind of balanced out.

01:12:02.600 --> 01:12:04.400
Game five was definitely, I would say,

01:12:04.400 --> 01:12:05.880
a bit precarious for both squads.

01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:07.720
But that's really what CRL is at the top level.

01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:09.400
We've seen an insane number of upsets.

01:12:09.400 --> 01:12:10.960
Definitely a record we're setting

01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:12.920
if you want to have a subjective stat like that

01:12:12.920 --> 01:12:15.280
for how many times an unexpected team has come up,

01:12:15.280 --> 01:12:17.480
but that also means that the parity is getting better.

01:12:17.480 --> 01:12:19.080
It's a shame Accom goal takes that loss,

01:12:19.080 --> 01:12:21.440
effectively kind of knocks them out of a lot of contention,

01:12:21.440 --> 01:12:23.640
but ball state, I mean, they're never disappointing,

01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:26.680
always entertaining, and even with all these different players

01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:29.060
to go, guh, and oath leading the way,

01:12:29.060 --> 01:12:31.120
and I love to see young thieves also thriving,

01:12:31.120 --> 01:12:34.000
potentially a future star of CRL.

01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:36.800
Well, we've got more left for the docket here today.

01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:37.920
If you guys want to see how the rest

01:12:37.920 --> 01:12:40.360
of the leading play squares out, stick around.

01:12:40.360 --> 01:12:41.200
We're gonna go to a quick break,

01:12:41.200 --> 01:12:48.200
so we've got even more collision rocket league action.

01:13:11.200 --> 01:13:13.200
I hate the epic part of the song

01:14:11.200 --> 01:14:33.200
Okay, now this is epic.

01:14:33.200 --> 01:14:35.200
I

01:15:33.200 --> 01:15:35.200
Oh

01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:57.000
In the dark haze

01:15:58.280 --> 01:16:00.280
Polarized gaze

01:16:00.280 --> 01:16:03.280
Trying to find my way to you

01:16:06.280 --> 01:16:08.280
Where the space is

01:16:08.280 --> 01:16:11.280
Conoraces

01:16:11.280 --> 01:16:15.280
You're the feeling that I choose

01:16:16.280 --> 01:16:19.280
I'm trying to run in

01:16:19.280 --> 01:16:22.280
Cause you lost the feeling

01:16:22.280 --> 01:16:27.280
You're disconnected and you're touched

01:16:27.280 --> 01:16:30.280
I don't believe that

01:16:30.280 --> 01:16:33.280
Hellbore, I'm seeing

01:16:33.280 --> 01:16:37.280
All this to hide, like it's too much

01:16:37.280 --> 01:16:40.280
It's all on you now

01:16:40.280 --> 01:16:44.280
So take us down now

01:16:44.280 --> 01:16:47.280
You're lost, I'm fine, you're ready to roll

01:16:47.280 --> 01:16:51.280
Cause I can't change

01:16:51.280 --> 01:16:55.280
What you're worth, it's dead

01:16:55.280 --> 01:16:59.280
Now that your gaze is gone, it lies

01:17:06.280 --> 01:17:10.280
Now that your gaze is gone, it lies

01:17:17.280 --> 01:17:21.280
Now that your gaze is gone, it lies

01:17:51.280 --> 01:17:55.680
Is connected in our touch

01:17:56.280 --> 01:17:58.680
Are you really there?

01:17:59.080 --> 01:18:01.480
You wanna see it?

01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:06.080
All day the high life can do much

01:18:06.280 --> 01:18:08.680
It's all on you now

01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:11.880
To figure out how

01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:16.480
You lost the fire in your eyes

01:18:17.280 --> 01:18:19.680
Cause I can't change it

01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:23.680
What's your question?

01:18:23.680 --> 01:18:27.680
Never touch a piece of salt in your eyes

01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:38.680
I like to read your eyes

01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:40.680
It's all mine

01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:12.680
I

01:20:40.680 --> 01:21:01.120
I'm going to show you how to

01:21:01.120 --> 01:21:09.120
And of course, I have oath with me from Ball State who just were able to edge out and get the victory in that best of five

01:21:09.120 --> 01:21:13.320
Oh talk me through that series Akron goal gave you a little bit of a scare there

01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:15.120
Yeah

01:21:15.120 --> 01:21:21.920
Akron golds just one of those teams that if you go in without or like under estimating them at all

01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:28.040
They'll come back and bite you so I think that's we went up to oh and then I think we kind of let that mindset

01:21:28.040 --> 01:21:28.880
They go over a little bit.

01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.800
We took our foot off the gas and they're a great team

01:21:31.800 --> 01:21:32.840
and that's not something you could do

01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.920
against players like those, so yeah.

01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:38.200
Yeah, I was trying to get a little bit of an idea from you.

01:21:38.200 --> 01:21:40.280
If you saw a Jonathan and Patty

01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:41.800
being a little bit silly on cameras,

01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:44.600
but I know you guys generally don't have stream up,

01:21:44.600 --> 01:21:46.760
but they were feeling confident even when being down.

01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:50.480
So absolutely do not get complacent.

01:21:50.480 --> 01:21:51.560
I do want to ask you again,

01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:54.520
we've asked a little bit this season already about thieves

01:21:54.520 --> 01:21:56.320
and how he's fitting into your team.

01:21:56.320 --> 01:22:00.160
Now that we're nearly all the way done with league play,

01:22:00.160 --> 01:22:04.000
how has Phoebes really fit into the team and gelled?

01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:06.120
I think he's been fitting in really, really well.

01:22:06.120 --> 01:22:08.800
I think in my last interview here when we played,

01:22:08.800 --> 01:22:11.120
I think I said each time that we play together,

01:22:11.120 --> 01:22:13.560
each week, each CRL match,

01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:16.160
I think the chemistry is just getting better and better

01:22:16.160 --> 01:22:18.320
and Phoebes is learning his spot

01:22:18.320 --> 01:22:20.560
in our playstyle better and better.

01:22:20.560 --> 01:22:23.440
And now with just a couple of weeks ago

01:22:23.440 --> 01:22:28.440
left in both the season and we've got NACE and CCC coming up.

01:22:28.440 --> 01:22:32.320
I think we're getting to the point where we're pretty confident against most of these teams

01:22:32.320 --> 01:22:34.360
and we know we can compete with anybody.

01:22:34.360 --> 01:22:35.360
Yeah.

01:22:35.360 --> 01:22:41.520
Well, speaking now of League of Play, your last game is against Davenport.

01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:42.880
What are your thoughts on that?

01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:47.560
Being at Davenport, mathematically, is it out because I have so many games left

01:22:47.560 --> 01:22:49.520
and one of yours included?

01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:51.320
Are you here to play spoiler?

01:22:51.320 --> 01:22:56.520
Are you here to get the best seeding possible moving into spring championship?

01:22:56.520 --> 01:23:03.120
I think I did hear that this match does matter for seeding and that if we're top eight or

01:23:03.120 --> 01:23:07.120
something then we get a buy first round, but more so than that, if we go into a match

01:23:07.120 --> 01:23:11.320
we're going to try our best to win, but Davenport is definitely a pretty scary team.

01:23:11.320 --> 01:23:15.160
When they're on they're playing really good, so it'll be a good match.

01:23:15.160 --> 01:23:18.680
So final thoughts, of course, we mentioned spring championship is coming up.

01:23:18.680 --> 01:23:23.800
is like our final week of league play. What are your thoughts on this massive

01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:28.280
spring championship bracket we have? We have some people from, you know, Last

01:23:28.280 --> 01:23:32.080
Chance Qualifier coming through in the lower end. We have everyone in league

01:23:32.080 --> 01:23:36.760
playing moving forward. I think there's a total of about 24 teams that are going

01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:41.760
to be playing and competing. What does that feel like to you guys? Yeah,

01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:47.120
honestly, I think for me at least, I don't know about gun feeds, but I'm

01:23:47.120 --> 01:23:51.120
I'm the kind of guy, like I don't like to look too much into the bracket or who we might play.

01:23:51.120 --> 01:23:54.120
Um, just because I feel like I can get pretty overwhelming pretty quick.

01:23:54.120 --> 01:23:57.120
I just, the best thing for me is just to show up and play.

01:23:57.120 --> 01:24:01.120
You know, play who we play, just go in confident and hope we come out on top.

01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:06.120
Incredible. Well, Oath, any last final thoughts before I let you go?

01:24:06.120 --> 01:24:11.120
Um, say thank you to BK.

01:24:11.120 --> 01:24:16.120
He's been a great coach this semester without a coach, so say thank you to him.

01:24:16.120 --> 01:24:39.120
about it. Amazing. Well we will hopefully see you on the pitch again and thank you again for your time. Thank you. Well guys that was a little bit into Oath and that ball state team. Obviously I think even for us the championship bracket can be quite overwhelming so it's nice to see that they are just focusing on the series in front of them.

01:24:39.120 --> 01:24:40.620
I got to be honest with you.

01:24:40.620 --> 01:24:42.820
Pretending I went to a best of five, always the brink.

01:24:42.820 --> 01:24:45.320
They seem pretty chill about what just happened.

01:24:45.320 --> 01:24:47.700
I mean, we're watching that in the control room going,

01:24:47.700 --> 01:24:48.540
are they caring?

01:24:48.540 --> 01:24:51.540
I mean, Patty had so much space in that top third chick,

01:24:51.540 --> 01:24:53.860
so I thought Ball State would be on ice skates.

01:24:53.860 --> 01:24:55.180
And they found a way to dig deep.

01:24:55.180 --> 01:24:57.020
And well, it's the one thing you can pull from that.

01:24:57.020 --> 01:24:59.060
Please share with me just the overall vibe there.

01:24:59.060 --> 01:25:01.980
It seems like the sky's broke to the limit for them.

01:25:01.980 --> 01:25:06.100
Yeah, I genuinely feel like Ball State is very calm.

01:25:06.100 --> 01:25:08.780
I mean, I mentioned the cameras a lot about Akron Gold.

01:25:08.780 --> 01:25:11.980
They were very silly, very animated, very calm.

01:25:11.980 --> 01:25:15.100
I feel like there's this fake sense of calmness

01:25:15.100 --> 01:25:17.820
and the fact that everybody in league play

01:25:17.820 --> 01:25:20.660
makes it to the championship weekend.

01:25:20.660 --> 01:25:22.980
So a lot of people aren't taking it as seriously

01:25:22.980 --> 01:25:24.620
as it could be, but getting a buy,

01:25:24.620 --> 01:25:27.620
getting that better seating makes everything

01:25:27.620 --> 01:25:29.860
so much easier in the long run.

01:25:29.860 --> 01:25:33.500
So Ball State is doing their best to stay very focused

01:25:33.500 --> 01:25:35.380
on the goal ahead of them.

01:25:35.380 --> 01:25:37.060
I appreciate you working that first series.

01:25:37.060 --> 01:25:44.100
course, we got three more series on the docket, but we have an update so far was going on with those other games

01:25:44.100 --> 01:25:48.040
off stream and well first things first without loss here today.

01:25:48.040 --> 01:25:52.740
Acron goal is pretty much out of the running for top four, but no fret.

01:25:52.740 --> 01:25:55.740
Of course, there is the L C Q. The three letters.

01:25:55.740 --> 01:25:58.140
Nobody wants to see because you know how big that bracket is.

01:25:58.380 --> 01:26:01.060
They had a chance of hitting that spring championship.

01:26:01.060 --> 01:26:03.880
So best of luck to them moving forward, of course, St.

01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:07.040
clear on the other side, three ones in the end of tech.

01:26:07.040 --> 01:26:09.880
KXN clear itself in the running for the top four.

01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:12.520
So fortunes are happening left and right.

01:26:12.520 --> 01:26:14.400
Taco, I can't get over to you.

01:26:14.400 --> 01:26:16.080
You got the results from the first series.

01:26:16.080 --> 01:26:17.480
You were there in the booth.

01:26:17.480 --> 01:26:20.000
What's this decision day, this survival Sunday

01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:21.920
shaping up to you this far?

01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:24.560
I think it's very much a system in which you can't really

01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:27.040
control everything that happens because with six teams,

01:26:27.040 --> 01:26:28.520
a lot of people are like, why can't you just give a

01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:28.960
scenarios?

01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:32.200
Because there's like 9,000 different possibilities

01:26:32.200 --> 01:26:36.040
of how this is going to end up and it's why those six teams are still very much in that

01:26:36.040 --> 01:26:39.560
running. So I think this is a decision day. I think by the end of the day with the amount

01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:44.400
of games we have currently being played on other streams or in private matches across

01:26:44.400 --> 01:26:49.080
NA right now, we will probably able to determine at least a little bit closer to a final two

01:26:49.080 --> 01:26:53.040
teams going into whoever's going to finish their games, maybe on Monday, who that

01:26:53.040 --> 01:26:56.600
fourth spot is going to be. But as you can hear it from, oh, there's still so

01:26:56.600 --> 01:26:59.440
many stakes to go. Even if you know that you're probably not going to be able

01:26:59.440 --> 01:27:04.320
to reach above that cut off line, just having one seed higher or something will make sure

01:27:04.320 --> 01:27:08.080
you have an easier matchup, a more advantageous matchup, or maybe just getting a buy. And that's

01:27:08.080 --> 01:27:12.080
huge in a system in which a one bad series can spell the end of your season.

01:27:12.080 --> 01:27:17.200
We always say that at the beginning of the semester that any given week, any given Sunday,

01:27:17.200 --> 01:27:21.640
all the games, all the matches are important and we're seeing those dividends right now.

01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:26.600
The M1s who are our second matchup on our docket here today, it's Akron Blue.

01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:33.360
Acres man give me all the Acres taking on concourse of what teams that maybe maybe eliminated on some level

01:27:33.360 --> 01:27:41.320
But very still much have something to prove that's what we threw this male roster of six individuals willing to ball out here today

01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:48.560
It's a weird one to be talking about these two guys is just sort of a fight for survival and placement in the lcq when both of these teams

01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:50.680
One opens last year

01:27:51.280 --> 01:27:56.320
Concord what a semester last year. These are two teams that should be at the very top of collegiate ugly

01:27:56.320 --> 01:28:01.840
But again, the competition has improved and unfortunately both of these two teams have kind of fallen behind the pace as of late.

01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:05.280
Akron Blue is incredibly talented like we talked about in the Pre-Orpire series.

01:28:05.280 --> 01:28:08.560
This is usually the primary roster for Akron.

01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:11.720
Instead, it's been their goal teams that's more taking the spotlight as of late.

01:28:11.720 --> 01:28:16.920
But the one thing that does make it a little difficult for them to keep the spotlight is, um, Five-Ups on this team.

01:28:16.920 --> 01:28:19.760
Yeah, yeah, Dignitas! Five-Up is on this team.

01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:24.760
So, the guy who's making top 8 in RLCS theoretically should always be at the upper part of Glinger-Aggly.

01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:28.760
But I don't know, in Ivanka, lately it's been kind of a coin flip on whether or not we see the

01:28:29.400 --> 01:28:33.000
version of Akron that can boost pretty much any team in this league, or the version of Akron

01:28:33.000 --> 01:28:37.000
that took down the number one seed in Northwood, literally like a week ago.

01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.040
Yeah, amazing about chips on your shoulder. Sometimes I feel like they want to be world

01:28:40.040 --> 01:28:43.480
beaters because they're overlooked, even in their own programs, and sometimes they get kind

01:28:43.480 --> 01:28:48.360
of rolled up. You're like, what? The whole world's watching. It's kind of hard to see that,

01:28:48.360 --> 01:28:53.480
though. But Jigsaw, let me get over to you. This match up here is a little bit more for

01:28:53.480 --> 01:28:56.380
for the pride side of things, but is your player out

01:28:56.380 --> 01:28:58.980
and your notes you're looking to really show up here?

01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:02.160
I think it's already been highlighted,

01:29:02.160 --> 01:29:05.480
but five up we've talked a lot about him playing,

01:29:05.480 --> 01:29:07.760
of course we know professionally on dig

01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:12.360
and then as well right now in the likes of CRL.

01:29:12.360 --> 01:29:15.440
And when it comes to sometimes CRL performance,

01:29:15.440 --> 01:29:18.080
the outside world can get kind of busy.

01:29:18.080 --> 01:29:21.400
So four and seven for right now for Akron Blue is,

01:29:21.400 --> 01:29:25.800
I mean, they shouldn't be at this point lower than their goal team.

01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:29.840
If there's anything that I'm fighting for, it's against B-team to be proved.

01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:32.160
Who's the better Akron squad?

01:29:32.160 --> 01:29:36.000
I think out of pride at this point, you should be fighting for that.

01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:39.080
So I need five up to step up today.

01:29:39.080 --> 01:29:44.720
We need to see, you know, the player that generally places of the upper echelon

01:29:45.080 --> 01:29:46.960
in professional league play.

01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:51.960
And if he's not there, then the entire Akron squad kind of suffers.

01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:58.260
It's a similar thing on Concord's end of the field where if they're not looking good in professional play,

01:29:58.260 --> 01:30:02.260
it also tends to show in the collegiate play as well.

01:30:02.260 --> 01:30:04.760
Better Akron squad, probably an Akron cup.

01:30:04.760 --> 01:30:07.260
Think about it, just an idea of putting it out there.

01:30:07.260 --> 01:30:10.060
But we have to go into predictions because both teams are ready.

01:30:10.060 --> 01:30:11.960
You know, Vaskar, I'll start with you.

01:30:11.960 --> 01:30:13.260
You see what Akron blue can do.

01:30:13.260 --> 01:30:14.460
You see what Conker can do.

01:30:14.460 --> 01:30:16.760
Sometimes, what do you got for this one?

01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:21.480
Look, sometimes you just gotta give it to the hot hand, and right now Akron is by far the hotter of the two teams.

01:30:21.480 --> 01:30:23.780
A, they just beat Northwood, like I just talked about.

01:30:23.780 --> 01:30:26.840
B, they've got Fife up, who's coming off of the top 8 in RLCS.

01:30:26.840 --> 01:30:30.080
And C, I just haven't been convinced by Concord, man.

01:30:30.080 --> 01:30:35.000
I really haven't. I want to be, but this has been, I know I said C is for Concord.

01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:39.540
But like, A, again, it's just one of these things where it really is difficult for me to back Concord,

01:30:39.540 --> 01:30:45.120
considering that they have not had consistent results throughout the semester, and I kinda think, as silly as it sounds,

01:30:45.120 --> 01:30:50.960
I think they've written off the plate. We talked about this before. I think this is a team that's like, hey, we're not making it through the plate

01:30:51.200 --> 01:30:54.000
Whatever man, let's just see how it ends and then when they get into lcq

01:30:54.080 --> 01:30:58.240
They're gonna lock in like nobody's business. So for right now before they are locked in. I'm taking after blue

01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:01.440
I love how you say not convinced, but when do you ever convince?

01:31:06.960 --> 01:31:11.520
I'm just saying I just I got the facts here. I'm saying you never convinced. I'm just putting it out there

01:31:11.680 --> 01:31:13.920
Uh, tixson, what do you got for this one coming up?

01:31:13.920 --> 01:31:18.440
Well, C's for Chixa, C's also for Concord, thank you for that bass.

01:31:18.440 --> 01:31:23.720
I will take that in that regard, but I am going for Concord in this one.

01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:28.280
I think Crispy C Mustuo is always really good if they're clicking.

01:31:28.280 --> 01:31:30.320
I honestly hope for the sake of pride.

01:31:30.320 --> 01:31:34.860
Again, at this point, for every team's pride, they are trying their best at the end of

01:31:34.860 --> 01:31:35.860
League play.

01:31:35.860 --> 01:31:40.400
There is, yes, the weird complacency that everyone makes it, but for the sake

01:31:40.400 --> 01:31:48.400
of Concord being previous winners and then ending the season negative feels so wrong.

01:31:48.400 --> 01:31:54.760
I hope that they actually put their best step forward and take this one because on paper

01:31:54.760 --> 01:31:58.040
they should be beating Akron Blue in Miami.

01:31:58.040 --> 01:32:02.920
Taka, I gotta lead your expertise here because I love Akron Blue's kind of crash to gate

01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:03.920
mentality.

01:32:03.920 --> 01:32:08.120
But that one-two punch of Seymour Stahelix has really done some damage this semester.

01:32:08.120 --> 01:32:10.160
Who do you got this one coming up for?

01:32:10.160 --> 01:32:16.480
I think in a vacuum Concord takes this one 99% of the time because of their quality and consistency

01:32:16.480 --> 01:32:20.080
But we're not in a vacuum. We're in the weirdest semester of CRL we ever seen

01:32:20.080 --> 01:32:23.840
I feel like Akron getting a three over Northwood. I watched that live with bass

01:32:23.840 --> 01:32:25.920
We're also in shock kind of holding each other

01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:30.600
So what is even they happening right now because it was so terrifying because it wasn't north of playing bad

01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:33.200
It was Akron blue playing very well Concord has lost a step

01:32:33.200 --> 01:32:37.680
They feel like they're not really locked in and I think at least four right now if Concord's gonna lock in

01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:39.960
It's gonna be in the LCK. I don't think it's gonna be right now

01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:42.360
I love the in the vacuum.

01:32:42.360 --> 01:32:44.160
I was like, he's a nice person.

01:32:44.160 --> 01:32:48.260
But I can't do anything I've ever heard.

01:32:48.260 --> 01:32:48.760
You know what?

01:32:48.760 --> 01:32:50.160
Give me Concord, right?

01:32:50.160 --> 01:32:51.760
Look, I understand there's a whole thing

01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:53.560
about being on paper of stronger teams.

01:32:53.560 --> 01:32:55.860
I understand that there is a bit of a drug play here.

01:32:55.860 --> 01:33:00.360
But Concord does have this kind of like wild card aspect.

01:33:00.360 --> 01:33:03.060
I love we see one or two every semester.

01:33:03.060 --> 01:33:05.660
I think Concord is the one that get it done here today.

01:33:05.660 --> 01:33:07.760
And hopefully I'm right because I was wrong

01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:09.360
in my last prediction.

01:33:09.360 --> 01:33:12.360
But the time for talk is over.

01:33:12.360 --> 01:33:15.800
We got to go ourselves to our second matchup of the evening.

01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:18.480
It's going to be Concord against Akron's little,

01:33:18.480 --> 01:33:21.000
my mom used to say, portion famous of both.

01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:24.080
But frankly, it takes a lot more than that.

01:33:24.080 --> 01:33:26.120
Who's going to get it done today?

01:33:26.120 --> 01:33:28.640
Castors, I have one thing for you to do,

01:33:28.640 --> 01:33:32.640
and that's take it away.

01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:36.040
Two teams better truly on paper

01:33:36.040 --> 01:33:39.720
than their season has told us so far.

01:33:39.720 --> 01:33:44.440
Akron Blue 4 and 7, Concord 4 and 7,

01:33:44.440 --> 01:33:48.120
previous winners, previous champions right now

01:33:48.120 --> 01:33:50.600
on the back foot of things.

01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:53.960
It is the final weekend of League play

01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:57.400
and both of these teams do not look up to shape

01:33:57.400 --> 01:34:00.200
that they have been like before.

01:34:00.200 --> 01:34:02.200
Yeah, and the worst part is, Jyxa is that

01:34:02.200 --> 01:34:03.480
there's still a lot to play for,

01:34:03.480 --> 01:34:04.600
but you wouldn't really know it

01:34:04.600 --> 01:34:05.560
based on some of these teams.

01:34:05.560 --> 01:34:07.420
Some of them are saying, ah, you're not going to take it seriously.

01:34:07.420 --> 01:34:11.320
But in this format where you are not eliminated until you go through that LCKQ,

01:34:11.420 --> 01:34:13.220
it does matter if you get these wins.

01:34:13.220 --> 01:34:15.960
And they have a lot of games in hand to change their fortunes.

01:34:15.960 --> 01:34:17.520
There are multiple slots.

01:34:17.520 --> 01:34:19.760
They can slide up if they both win out.

01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:22.560
But of course, in this match up, we can only have one winner.

01:34:22.560 --> 01:34:24.160
And both teams are going to be hungry.

01:34:24.160 --> 01:34:27.560
Samosa and Crispy, such an insane duo and are all CS.

01:34:27.560 --> 01:34:30.760
And now they're trying to show they still got that movement in CRL.

01:34:31.320 --> 01:34:34.420
Yeah, a rare set of teams that we have right now.

01:34:34.420 --> 01:34:39.220
we're both have players that are professionally playing currently right now

01:34:39.220 --> 01:34:44.580
and both aren't doing well in collegiate play. It's a weird situation to be in

01:34:44.580 --> 01:34:49.020
with the level of talent that we have now currently in collegiate rocket league

01:34:49.020 --> 01:34:53.860
but in all good notes they're playing in serious cars. They have all played a

01:34:53.860 --> 01:34:58.540
very focused to start off in this one and I think that's the outlook you

01:34:58.540 --> 01:35:02.140
have to have. At this point in the season you need to put your best

01:35:02.140 --> 01:35:07.620
forward to prepare yourselves for the master bracket that we have coming up soon.

01:35:07.620 --> 01:35:12.180
They need to make reads like that. Five up depriving Helix from the double and

01:35:12.180 --> 01:35:15.460
being able to quickly get on top of those reads is going to be paramount to really

01:35:15.460 --> 01:35:18.900
anything else. Helix, you've got to be able to get up for this one as five up

01:35:18.900 --> 01:35:24.420
wrong puts him going to the back post. That's beautifully slotted in by five up

01:35:24.420 --> 01:35:29.620
on that one. He places it. Helix just doesn't have the read when needed.

01:35:29.620 --> 01:35:32.620
and maybe faster than he could have anticipated,

01:35:32.620 --> 01:35:36.100
but great for Akron Blue to get on the board first.

01:35:37.180 --> 01:35:38.580
And it almost seemed like Helix was waiting

01:35:38.580 --> 01:35:40.320
for a slower touch, so he started moving up,

01:35:40.320 --> 01:35:41.420
and then when it started rocking over,

01:35:41.420 --> 01:35:43.060
his brain almost lacked for a half second,

01:35:43.060 --> 01:35:45.660
and just couldn't load in his read in time.

01:35:45.660 --> 01:35:47.740
But either way, nothing really to cry about,

01:35:47.740 --> 01:35:49.500
especially as he gets into a redemption chance.

01:35:49.500 --> 01:35:51.300
Takes on Bullseye, but unfortunately,

01:35:51.300 --> 01:35:54.260
Bullseye gonna get the better exchange of that.

01:35:54.260 --> 01:35:56.740
Violet, just a clear out Seamoss.

01:35:56.740 --> 01:35:58.860
Good read, Bullseye coming through,

01:35:58.860 --> 01:36:03.100
But it is well done by C-Loss, only for it to be taken

01:36:03.100 --> 01:36:04.140
at the final mark.

01:36:04.140 --> 01:36:07.420
Krispy turning in down to Helix, but five up is there,

01:36:07.420 --> 01:36:11.580
even with a limited boost, moving this one forward.

01:36:11.580 --> 01:36:13.460
Can't manage to do much more than that.

01:36:13.460 --> 01:36:16.660
Off the back wall, Helix almost not ready,

01:36:16.660 --> 01:36:19.660
but on the transition bullseye, saving last moment,

01:36:19.660 --> 01:36:23.300
Krispy shot deflected away, and Concord tried.

01:36:23.300 --> 01:36:26.780
They may still can't get through the defense

01:36:26.780 --> 01:36:32.860
off the post and down 50 still one and zeroes on the board for Concord.

01:36:32.860 --> 01:36:34.540
Excellent touch, but it's still not over.

01:36:34.540 --> 01:36:37.580
Samas trying to test that backward defense, but it can be real difficult when

01:36:37.580 --> 01:36:39.100
Five Up is last back.

01:36:39.100 --> 01:36:41.980
He's often relayed that saving grace for this Akron defense.

01:36:41.980 --> 01:36:46.380
And now he's shown he can do it on offense, makes one, but he can't get the second.

01:36:46.380 --> 01:36:48.780
A great patient out of Five Up right now.

01:36:48.780 --> 01:36:50.940
He's just testing Concord.

01:36:50.940 --> 01:36:54.540
And Five Up does sneak this one through,

01:36:54.540 --> 01:36:58.740
persisted as they may. Akron blue gets another. That's okay.

01:36:58.740 --> 01:37:01.900
I think five up gets lost. I think really in the fold of all

01:37:01.900 --> 01:37:04.460
of those cars moving left to right, you can almost see the

01:37:04.460 --> 01:37:07.300
head last offender on the Concord goal. Say, oh, again, that

01:37:07.300 --> 01:37:09.060
clear. Wait, why is five up still up? He has no boost.

01:37:09.060 --> 01:37:11.340
Why is he still here? And then suddenly it's in on the mirror

01:37:11.340 --> 01:37:14.060
post. Akron blue keeping things unpredictable, but also

01:37:14.060 --> 01:37:16.460
you're seeing a little bit of why they were able to get

01:37:16.460 --> 01:37:19.580
that three oh sweep on north. What a crazy upset, but

01:37:19.580 --> 01:37:22.580
an upset is only when you are not capable or thought not

01:37:22.580 --> 01:37:23.580
of getting those wins.

01:37:23.580 --> 01:37:26.580
You can see they still got the trigger live from Akron.

01:37:26.580 --> 01:37:28.580
And honestly, they're doing a lot on defense

01:37:28.580 --> 01:37:29.580
just to be able to shut down Conkord

01:37:29.580 --> 01:37:31.580
before they can get too far forward.

01:37:31.580 --> 01:37:33.580
That's exactly what I was going to pinpoint.

01:37:33.580 --> 01:37:35.580
Akron Blue has done so well.

01:37:35.580 --> 01:37:37.580
The last man back,

01:37:37.580 --> 01:37:39.580
challenging at the correct time,

01:37:39.580 --> 01:37:42.580
maintaining great fifties,

01:37:42.580 --> 01:37:44.580
and the presence there to stop Conkord.

01:37:44.580 --> 01:37:46.580
They haven't been able to sneak past them.

01:37:46.580 --> 01:37:50.580
I think if Conkord throws in some demos,

01:37:50.580 --> 01:37:56.640
different look and catches that lone third man off. There may be an opening but

01:37:56.640 --> 01:38:01.880
for now Concord itself needs to tighten up their own pieces. I love this

01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:04.520
rotation because this is not necessarily the best pass the world from

01:38:04.520 --> 01:38:08.580
Milio but he plays off momentum and bullseye has a striker's mentality. He

01:38:08.580 --> 01:38:12.760
sees all those players rotating that grabbing of the ball dragging them to

01:38:12.760 --> 01:38:15.640
the corner so he knows if he puts that on target even from a weird angle

01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:19.920
definitely gonna be between the sticks and in for a third. Concord really

01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:21.420
They're really starting to reel here in Akrona.

01:38:21.420 --> 01:38:22.520
Seems like they're just warming up.

01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:25.040
They really want to put their flag down into the ground

01:38:25.040 --> 01:38:27.920
of the series and kind of affirmatively say

01:38:27.920 --> 01:38:30.840
that this is our series to lose.

01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:31.800
Concord again.

01:38:31.800 --> 01:38:33.840
They're going to try through this one.

01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:36.680
But Bullseye has it open net to work with.

01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:39.200
The beautiful pass from five up on transition.

01:38:39.200 --> 01:38:42.320
And Akron Blue is cooking right now across the field.

01:38:42.320 --> 01:38:43.240
It's just so fast.

01:38:43.240 --> 01:38:45.720
I mean, five up turned around and got the aerial up.

01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:47.800
And got to pass directly to Bullseye all,

01:38:47.800 --> 01:38:49.560
unless the hunter boosts in the tank.

01:38:49.560 --> 01:38:54.520
just that quick and it's why you cannot play around. The one thing you can say about Akron Blue

01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:59.080
regardless of their late season turnaround before or after is that they are quick and if you have a

01:38:59.080 --> 01:39:03.480
delay on your gameplay it's not going to bode well for you and right there it looks like

01:39:03.480 --> 01:39:09.000
Conkors trying to get some kickoff magic but Milio was well prepared. At this point they just

01:39:09.000 --> 01:39:15.800
need to experiment in this series. The likes of Akron Blue has just been playing exactly as

01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:20.760
they need to play as a team they're doing well defensively having someone back in

01:39:20.760 --> 01:39:25.240
rotation they're doing well in transitions you're seeing everyone on the board have the

01:39:25.240 --> 01:39:33.000
least one assist for Akron blue their offense has been just dominant in every aspect and

01:39:33.000 --> 01:39:37.960
it's hard to deny that Akron blue right now looks like the better and more solid team you have to

01:39:37.960 --> 01:39:43.480
wonder why they're currently four and seven at this point in the season at the end of the day

01:39:43.480 --> 01:39:46.220
If you're going to get momentum, it's better to get it at the end of the season than X.

01:39:46.220 --> 01:39:48.900
It wasn't the beginning as you were able to actually carry that through.

01:39:48.900 --> 01:39:52.660
The thing is, it's a long journey to that LCK, but with Acre Blue's play,

01:39:52.660 --> 01:39:54.840
and I don't think you doubt the quality, they're playing,

01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:58.420
it's a former national champion, two times over, actually,

01:39:58.420 --> 01:40:01.500
if you count land victories as well for Concord.

01:40:01.500 --> 01:40:05.160
But the thing is, everybody lags behind a little bit as CRL has gone on.

01:40:05.160 --> 01:40:10.380
It's such a weird semester, and I don't think even teams like this are going to be impervious to that,

01:40:10.380 --> 01:40:15.020
as we're just kind of going down and waiting for Akron to end this game out of Mercy 4-0

01:40:15.020 --> 01:40:19.420
and still Conkord so looking for something on the board even when sending a bump they can't get through.

01:40:19.980 --> 01:40:25.580
That was a good look for Conkord the bump. I said adding a little bit more aggressiveness in can

01:40:25.580 --> 01:40:31.340
sometimes throw off the likes of the defense but still struggling he likes his angle cut off

01:40:31.340 --> 01:40:39.260
by Milio. Final seconds on the clock Akron blew wind out in 4-0 fashion Conkord not able to get

01:40:39.260 --> 01:40:52.260
a single goal just yet and even still I mean he looks gonna lead to change out the cars and hopefully they change a little bit because I don't think they need necessarily to completely shift everything they did get blown out scorewise but it's mainly because it's an exercise

01:40:52.260 --> 01:41:05.260
inefficiency from Akron being able to put away nearly half of their shots and Concord not really that far behind on their own shots they are getting opportunities but being as Akron isn't really being too disturbed by it I can't really notice a moment

01:41:05.260 --> 01:41:06.660
where they were too panicked.

01:41:06.660 --> 01:41:08.100
It felt like they had everything covered.

01:41:08.100 --> 01:41:10.020
And when you're playing ordinary offense,

01:41:10.020 --> 01:41:12.580
that's just not enough in this era of CRL.

01:41:12.580 --> 01:41:13.220
I agree.

01:41:13.220 --> 01:41:15.620
I think Five Up, again, looked very confident,

01:41:15.620 --> 01:41:19.020
looked very patient as the rest of the Akron Blue team.

01:41:19.020 --> 01:41:20.820
And that confidence and that patience

01:41:20.820 --> 01:41:23.980
does translate into the play you see out of them.

01:41:23.980 --> 01:41:25.860
They had very controlled touches.

01:41:25.860 --> 01:41:27.660
Their fifties were on point.

01:41:27.660 --> 01:41:28.740
They never panicked.

01:41:28.740 --> 01:41:31.540
And you saw at moments, Concord panicking,

01:41:31.540 --> 01:41:34.420
trying to regain some semblance of fluidity

01:41:34.420 --> 01:41:36.840
across the team in their rotations.

01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:38.320
They just didn't have it on lock,

01:41:38.320 --> 01:41:40.880
but it is game one and a best of five.

01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:43.900
Things can change as we saw in the last series.

01:41:43.900 --> 01:41:46.320
We went to five when we thought it would be a sweep.

01:41:46.320 --> 01:41:48.320
So things can happen right now.

01:41:48.320 --> 01:41:51.400
Concord needs to focus and they have to adjust.

01:41:51.400 --> 01:41:53.520
This is the adjust the adaptation

01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:54.880
that we always talk about

01:41:54.880 --> 01:41:57.680
that you have to have across the team.

01:41:57.680 --> 01:41:59.200
You can see us on the cans.

01:41:59.200 --> 01:42:01.520
It doesn't, it takes a lot to tilt Concord.

01:42:01.520 --> 01:42:04.600
even at that 4-0 loss, they're not too concerned.

01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:05.800
So going into forbidden temple,

01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:08.000
we'll see if they can rescue this series,

01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:09.640
not drop too many more games.

01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:11.240
Because again, trying to climb up that ladder

01:42:11.240 --> 01:42:14.440
has so many implications for how LCQ is going to look.

01:42:14.440 --> 01:42:15.640
But of course, five of those that,

01:42:15.640 --> 01:42:17.760
that's why he's trying to get one right off the rip,

01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:19.480
but he can't quite get the angle.

01:42:19.480 --> 01:42:23.560
That's maybe open four transition on Concord's side.

01:42:23.560 --> 01:42:25.080
Crispy has boosted Ben-Milio.

01:42:25.080 --> 01:42:27.240
Even low on boost challenges

01:42:27.240 --> 01:42:28.360
takes away that opportunity.

01:42:28.360 --> 01:42:33.480
early jump for five up and now last back is Bullseye pass across and not

01:42:33.480 --> 01:42:37.320
angled enough for Krispy to get the shot great challenge by Helix but a

01:42:37.320 --> 01:42:41.600
difficult bounce goes back in midfields by the has boosted in the tank

01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:47.800
look reset here on target Krispy gets away in time but that one's open on the

01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:53.400
goal line and Akron blue lead again talk about a full team play Bullseye gets

01:42:53.400 --> 01:42:56.560
the demo on the player on that board and that's going pretty much an

01:42:56.560 --> 01:42:58.640
the unsavable 50 from five up.

01:42:58.640 --> 01:42:59.920
Crispy does his absolute best,

01:42:59.920 --> 01:43:01.960
but that's why you need all three players

01:43:01.960 --> 01:43:04.480
because the finisher has the easiest goal

01:43:04.480 --> 01:43:06.240
of his life on the back end.

01:43:06.240 --> 01:43:07.520
And it just shows that for blue,

01:43:07.520 --> 01:43:08.520
when they are in sync,

01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:11.360
they are a terrifying team to try to counter.

01:43:11.360 --> 01:43:14.360
Crispy on transition after kickoff.

01:43:14.360 --> 01:43:15.560
This one straight down here,

01:43:15.560 --> 01:43:18.400
looks a shot over the bar and what a lock.

01:43:18.400 --> 01:43:22.000
Second touch by Millio to deflect this one away.

01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:23.840
And again, straight on transition,

01:43:23.840 --> 01:43:27.280
Another shot immediately comes through from Akron Blue.

01:43:27.280 --> 01:43:29.200
They are looking ever so confident,

01:43:29.200 --> 01:43:31.360
both offensively and defensively.

01:43:33.360 --> 01:43:35.080
Right now, you can tell that they are not

01:43:35.080 --> 01:43:36.600
sitting at all on some of these reads.

01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:38.800
They're just that confident they'll be able to get there.

01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:40.840
And also, trusting in the passes as well.

01:43:40.840 --> 01:43:42.440
Miliu, well, not trusting that reads.

01:43:42.440 --> 01:43:44.560
Instead, he's going to back up, tease it up for Samos.

01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:45.920
He doesn't have the best angle.

01:43:45.920 --> 01:43:47.200
So he'll hand it off to Krispy.

01:43:47.200 --> 01:43:48.840
Five up, saw that one come in.

01:43:48.840 --> 01:43:49.680
Heal like soft touch.

01:43:49.680 --> 01:43:53.240
And also, will meet the devise of a five up, 50.

01:43:53.240 --> 01:43:56.760
on the clear CMOS, can't get there in time.

01:43:56.760 --> 01:44:00.560
Crispy almost, B, but now Helix has an opportunity,

01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:01.840
takes time, Flipri said here,

01:44:01.840 --> 01:44:03.960
can he angle it on target again?

01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:07.480
Five up in the way, saves this one, deflects it.

01:44:07.480 --> 01:44:11.600
I mentioned five up would be that key factor for Akron Blue

01:44:11.600 --> 01:44:15.440
and he certainly has been everywhere defensively so far

01:44:15.440 --> 01:44:20.440
as well as offensively, really helping facilitate his team.

01:44:20.440 --> 01:44:23.040
Time sticking and Akron Blue may only be a five one,

01:44:23.040 --> 01:44:26.880
They still feel very in control of this game.

01:44:26.880 --> 01:44:29.440
And yet they still have to back paddle every once in a while

01:44:29.440 --> 01:44:30.680
to be able to get on some of these reeds.

01:44:30.680 --> 01:44:32.360
Like this one for Smas, you have to reset.

01:44:32.360 --> 01:44:33.200
You get five up.

01:44:33.200 --> 01:44:34.160
Again, going to be in the way.

01:44:34.160 --> 01:44:34.720
Back post here.

01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:36.000
Let's try and defend it around.

01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:38.760
But that's a really tough to be able to get forward on.

01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:39.880
Put that between the sticks.

01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:41.800
And naturally, they will go away.

01:44:41.800 --> 01:44:43.240
I don't anticipate that to be

01:44:43.240 --> 01:44:45.040
the last of the desperation heaves

01:44:45.040 --> 01:44:46.200
that Concord's going to go for.

01:44:46.200 --> 01:44:48.000
Because even though it's only a one goal game,

01:44:48.000 --> 01:44:50.160
it feels like shots come in such a premium.

01:44:50.160 --> 01:44:52.320
And honestly, good angle shots that you can actually

01:44:52.320 --> 01:44:56.320
do something with or even rare based on how Akron Blue has been handling his defense.

01:44:56.320 --> 01:45:01.520
Yeah, you haven't seen a lot of follow-up potential for Concord and I think that's really hurting them.

01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:07.440
They're getting these one-and-done opportunities that are easily saved or at least relatively

01:45:07.440 --> 01:45:13.040
easy on the likes of play that they've seen before. We need Concord to get better opportunities

01:45:13.040 --> 01:45:17.600
up front, a bump there, maybe a follow-up from somebody else and that'll open up

01:45:17.600 --> 01:45:24.240
better shooting opportunities. We're in near eight minutes right now and Concord has yet to score a single time.

01:45:24.240 --> 01:45:31.360
They have a lot of pressure upfield at this point, but do we foresee a shot that's just undeniable not yet?

01:45:31.360 --> 01:45:36.720
And you have a demo of the goal line and a roll down, crispy double tap, it's gonna go off the post.

01:45:36.720 --> 01:45:42.720
Again, it's just trying to rush that play that doesn't work out. They still possession, so therefore they still have a chance.

01:45:42.720 --> 01:45:45.200
Triple bum helix certifies that one

01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:54.560
It took ten opportunities ten tries for concord and they finally sink one here all that effort

01:45:55.200 --> 01:45:59.120
Put into a goal. It was not easy after blue eight

01:45:59.600 --> 01:46:06.700
Saves it took that many times for concord to break the barrier does this give them enough momentum

01:46:06.700 --> 01:46:07.320
I don't know

01:46:07.320 --> 01:46:15.320
But that has got to be exhausting to finally find the recipe to score against this team that has been so solid on defense.

01:46:15.320 --> 01:46:20.320
Yeah, you're only halfway there because you got to do it again. And Akron seems not too concerned about their defense.

01:46:20.320 --> 01:46:27.320
There's still going to be able to get these saves away. They had to take a one-on-one, a rare one to be able to get on through for that go-ahead goal.

01:46:27.320 --> 01:46:31.320
And also get past five up, who I thought might have been able to get that dunk, but instead it's going to be an open net.

01:46:31.320 --> 01:46:35.320
Crispy will not waste it. That is placement.

01:46:35.320 --> 01:46:41.320
I think they just needed to open up the floodgates and things become a lot easier.

01:46:41.320 --> 01:46:45.320
Akron Blue, the creep starts to set in and you start to second guess yourself.

01:46:45.320 --> 01:46:46.320
You're unsure.

01:46:46.320 --> 01:46:51.320
You figure out how to break down that defense and you see the adjustments made.

01:46:51.320 --> 01:46:55.320
This is why a series is a series and truly not one game.

01:46:55.320 --> 01:46:58.320
But now they still need to retain defense for them.

01:46:58.320 --> 01:47:02.320
It has been difficult to be on the same page or get caught in the game.

01:47:02.320 --> 01:47:04.880
And it's been difficult to be on the same page

01:47:04.880 --> 01:47:05.880
or get caught off guard.

01:47:05.880 --> 01:47:09.000
And now a blocker again, Felix tries and gets

01:47:09.000 --> 01:47:11.120
deflected away.

01:47:11.120 --> 01:47:12.640
It's a clean enough touch from Bullseye,

01:47:12.640 --> 01:47:14.320
but it was just hard enough for some us

01:47:14.320 --> 01:47:15.560
to deflect that one out.

01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:17.720
Chris, he almost held things up for five up,

01:47:17.720 --> 01:47:19.400
but 50 still goes through.

01:47:19.400 --> 01:47:20.680
Felix, excellent challenge.

01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:22.120
You can tell Conqueror is starting

01:47:22.120 --> 01:47:24.720
to get a bit more aggressive on these midair challenges,

01:47:24.720 --> 01:47:26.640
going off the ceiling to shut things down.

01:47:26.640 --> 01:47:28.000
That is kind of Akron's game.

01:47:28.000 --> 01:47:29.920
So if Conqueror can beat them at that game,

01:47:29.920 --> 01:47:31.440
then definitely some improvisation

01:47:31.440 --> 01:47:36.380
I'm going to have to see from the Akron side as definitely they went from a pretty dominant offense performance to now

01:47:36.420 --> 01:47:39.620
Bit tepid of one just getting past midfield as a task and a half

01:47:39.620 --> 01:47:43.660
So can they make this one count bit of a deflection and you know not but a full crispy

01:47:44.180 --> 01:47:48.540
Yeah, thank goodness like Christine did come in team wash looked very uncomfortable

01:47:48.540 --> 01:47:52.400
And I would hope the call-out was there to provide that support another bump here

01:47:52.400 --> 01:47:58.280
Chris begins in the way just in time and he looked has some time a little bit of boost to move on forward

01:47:58.280 --> 01:48:03.480
Seymas the read off the sidewall just need to buy another couple seconds of time.

01:48:03.480 --> 01:48:09.000
Millio pops this up five up has boost doesn't get the flip this one deflected

01:48:09.000 --> 01:48:14.960
still high here can it touch the ground for Concord and not just yet you know

01:48:14.960 --> 01:48:20.840
it's waiting patiently put this one down in Concord to take game two in two one

01:48:20.840 --> 01:48:26.320
fashion. Really icy play from he'll experience two players right next to him

01:48:26.320 --> 01:48:28.960
And it's so tempting to just send that downfield and say,

01:48:28.960 --> 01:48:30.360
I just want to get it away from me.

01:48:30.360 --> 01:48:32.240
But he also knows that could be a giveaway.

01:48:32.240 --> 01:48:35.120
It's just giving possession back to Akron for another chance.

01:48:35.120 --> 01:48:36.760
So he stares both those players down

01:48:36.760 --> 01:48:39.640
and hits it directly in between them to the grass

01:48:39.640 --> 01:48:40.600
to close that one out.

01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:42.960
And we can't say they didn't earn it on offense, Jigsaw.

01:48:42.960 --> 01:48:44.240
They might have gotten dominated

01:48:44.240 --> 01:48:45.760
with a crazy team play in the future,

01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:47.360
but they were able to mount that comeback.

01:48:47.360 --> 01:48:51.960
Two straight goals off the backs of 15 shots.

01:48:51.960 --> 01:48:53.920
And we didn't even go to OT.

01:48:53.920 --> 01:49:03.520
Yeah, I think Concord had to put everything and the kitchen sink really at them and it took a lot.

01:49:03.520 --> 01:49:10.160
Again, Akron Blue has been so solid on defense. It's why they constantly stay in series or can be

01:49:10.160 --> 01:49:15.680
teams that are notoriously well known, you know, like Northwood on their offensive capabilities.

01:49:15.680 --> 01:49:19.680
When you have a team that has solid defense, it's much rarer than we know the mechanical

01:49:19.680 --> 01:49:24.640
monsters that are in collegiate rocket league right now. So really impressed that concord did not

01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:31.600
give up in this one kept trying we're able to hold on but I still don't like that Akron blue is so

01:49:31.600 --> 01:49:37.360
comfortable making as many saves as they are. We should never see that many shots realistically

01:49:37.360 --> 01:49:41.200
in a series of this type. We'll see more adjustments going into game three.

01:49:42.480 --> 01:49:46.080
We would say typically yeah if you're giving up that many shots I mean it's a little rough but

01:49:46.080 --> 01:49:48.220
But hey, you're playing against one of the most dominant

01:49:48.220 --> 01:49:50.680
in-person teams of all time in Concord.

01:49:50.680 --> 01:49:52.680
They have such a great legacy, but of course,

01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:54.440
legacies don't mean much in the modern area.

01:49:54.440 --> 01:49:56.240
You've still got to play, not every year,

01:49:56.240 --> 01:49:57.320
some loss from a double.

01:49:57.320 --> 01:49:58.880
Can't get this one, Crispy!

01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:00.280
Cannot either!

01:50:00.280 --> 01:50:01.600
And I guess something don't change.

01:50:01.600 --> 01:50:03.160
Akron getting the goal, I defense,

01:50:03.160 --> 01:50:06.720
and on the counter, get a brilliant finish from Mili-O.

01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:09.720
I was so worried that one was gonna bounce out

01:50:09.720 --> 01:50:12.840
on the transition for Akron,

01:50:12.840 --> 01:50:15.160
but Mili-O does read it well.

01:50:15.160 --> 01:50:20.280
that went in. Heartbreak for Concord again. That's two shots by Crispy that

01:50:20.280 --> 01:50:25.120
should have been easy deflections in and they're not. This could be the maker

01:50:25.120 --> 01:50:30.880
break point for a series even just off that single goal. Hopefully Concord

01:50:30.880 --> 01:50:36.600
retain their confidence after that last win but Akron Blue already back in it.

01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:41.160
Way to stay calm and again transition and yet again another shooting

01:50:41.160 --> 01:50:42.160
opportunity.

01:50:42.160 --> 01:50:43.160
Woo!

01:50:43.160 --> 01:50:46.760
Oh shit, Crispy might be able to get this, and yet it's going to be Milio getting this

01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:47.760
save.

01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:49.760
Crispy has to hustle back because they do not want to give up another counter.

01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:54.520
If anything, it just really shows the margin for error, and really, it's none for a lot

01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:55.520
of these plays.

01:50:55.520 --> 01:50:56.520
You missed one read.

01:50:56.520 --> 01:51:00.000
You sent too many players up, and it's right in your net, and honestly, a rare miss

01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:02.200
there from Samos on the free jump.

01:51:02.200 --> 01:51:06.520
I think that was actually more Crispy's fault over Samos, that passing it to

01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:11.280
be better suited for someone who had relatively no boost in the tank.

01:51:11.280 --> 01:51:14.920
But for now, the defense for Concord, we see a just here,

01:51:14.920 --> 01:51:17.520
five of winning patiently for this ball, and

01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:20.400
does get a little bit too much of a pop away from him.

01:51:20.400 --> 01:51:25.080
Felix not much boost in the tank, Emilio just sends it away.

01:51:25.080 --> 01:51:28.160
Hold on, booze, but Emilio still jumping for this one,

01:51:28.160 --> 01:51:29.960
deflected by Krispy.

01:51:29.960 --> 01:51:33.120
He looks to be there in time, the pop up is real.

01:51:33.120 --> 01:51:38.120
And CMOS again, Flip Resets puts this into the active blue quarter.

01:51:38.120 --> 01:51:43.000
I went away and tried to get the boost problem as he gave up the pass and that is threading

01:51:43.000 --> 01:51:45.800
a needle from Helix to get the equalizer.

01:51:45.800 --> 01:51:51.040
I looked up for not even one second and all of a sudden Helix was able to thread the

01:51:51.040 --> 01:51:53.840
needle between multiple different cars.

01:51:53.840 --> 01:51:57.560
He might info alike to get that one in.

01:51:57.560 --> 01:52:02.440
It's nice to see that everybody on Concord has now had some impact offensively up

01:52:02.440 --> 01:52:09.240
field and they're getting that much closer and holding on that much more to keeping this series that

01:52:09.800 --> 01:52:17.480
much closer. Five up flip reset. He got so much power behind that one. I would say someone signed

01:52:17.480 --> 01:52:21.800
this guy but didn't toss well out of us to be able to get that one forward. And you have to

01:52:21.800 --> 01:52:25.160
think you're like, ah, you know, he's getting a buffed in midair. No way he's able to get

01:52:25.160 --> 01:52:29.240
weight. Why is he still on the ball? How is he getting that reset and then it's in your net?

01:52:29.240 --> 01:52:33.920
That's one of the better kickoff goals you're gonna see and it just shows that you're never truly out of it both these teams

01:52:34.040 --> 01:52:38.600
Offenses so explosive, so maybe they could double off again bull side decent touch

01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:40.960
But not able to put it forward into the middle

01:52:41.360 --> 01:52:47.640
Still astounded by how much power he got from that after essentially floating in mid air

01:52:47.640 --> 01:52:54.040
And that's just the difference that this series could make after move up to one near the halfway point

01:52:54.040 --> 01:52:58.460
point and it has been a back and forth game number three pivotal this puts

01:52:58.460 --> 01:53:02.740
whatever team on match point right now and we've seen how important it is for

01:53:02.740 --> 01:53:08.660
every game to matter see mom's doing his best as well as helix to go and move

01:53:08.660 --> 01:53:14.580
forward no flip reset there for helix so we can only 50 that early jump from

01:53:14.580 --> 01:53:19.420
milio and this one cleared away at least temporarily for the likes of

01:53:19.420 --> 01:53:22.620
Akron. When I really do like that one,

01:53:22.620 --> 01:53:26.060
Krispy held on to that flip just to make sure he extended that play out and now

01:53:26.060 --> 01:53:27.580
he's just gonna have to play for some passes.

01:53:27.580 --> 01:53:31.420
Samas, maybe a bit too selfish, did have a dish maybe in the middle but instead

01:53:31.420 --> 01:53:34.460
it's gonna go out and everyone's gonna go back to their corner and boost up

01:53:34.460 --> 01:53:38.380
for part two. Samas, free flip, reset underneath Bullseye,

01:53:38.380 --> 01:53:41.420
scoops it right back over him and Krispy can't set the save for his

01:53:41.420 --> 01:53:44.860
defender. He's taking on another save from Akron blue and five up.

01:53:44.860 --> 01:53:46.780
We'll make sure it goes the other way.

01:53:46.780 --> 01:53:52.860
What a bounce and Krispy reads it well, Simas, waiting patiently back, flip goes forward,

01:53:52.860 --> 01:53:55.340
Helix is there into rolling it.

01:53:55.980 --> 01:54:00.220
Familio in the way, even after a demo may have opened up a better opportunity.

01:54:00.220 --> 01:54:05.260
Difficult save, Simas, still in the way after two shots made and just like that,

01:54:05.260 --> 01:54:07.900
Helix back on transition, bumped almost into it.

01:54:07.900 --> 01:54:11.900
Five uphands, just enough boost to get over it and holds onto it.

01:54:11.900 --> 01:54:15.260
Familio to move forward is almost catching Krispy off guard.

01:54:15.260 --> 01:54:18.420
As fast as they're playing, no one's throwing the ball away.

01:54:18.420 --> 01:54:20.260
I really appreciate that from Akron as well.

01:54:20.260 --> 01:54:22.380
You've seen a couple of times where they're rushing to play

01:54:22.380 --> 01:54:24.100
and then last minute pivot and try to play

01:54:24.100 --> 01:54:25.260
into cheeky touch around.

01:54:25.260 --> 01:54:27.220
And I think that's buying them a lot of respect

01:54:27.220 --> 01:54:28.420
from the Concord defense.

01:54:28.420 --> 01:54:30.740
Trying to actually still get on these reeds of problems

01:54:30.740 --> 01:54:33.460
is, it's mostly desperation touches, kind of like this one.

01:54:33.460 --> 01:54:36.020
Five of dusts, one player, but that's rely on Helix.

01:54:36.020 --> 01:54:37.700
And he can't muster up enough.

01:54:37.700 --> 01:54:40.300
So therefore, then, crease speed in the rotation.

01:54:40.300 --> 01:54:43.220
No deflection either, as Milio is lurking downfield.

01:54:43.220 --> 01:54:47.680
some us just in case find the outlet past the helix will then find crispy off the

01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:51.860
backboard from an angle he just can't make it to go crispy top shelf with not

01:54:51.860 --> 01:54:57.740
a lot of space to spare that play was so well thought out from the get-go it was

01:54:57.740 --> 01:55:02.500
an entire the same play the entire time from the midfield over to transition

01:55:02.500 --> 01:55:08.540
always somebody was in the area to redeem control and put on more

01:55:08.540 --> 01:55:15.500
pressure. Wonderful pass and play by Concord. Well thought out. Very patient to allow that to happen

01:55:15.500 --> 01:55:21.820
in Krispie's follow-up, ultimately getting him the redemption needed. He is currently one for five,

01:55:21.820 --> 01:55:27.660
but that one is the most important one we've seen yet. Just a little off on this one and now

01:55:27.660 --> 01:55:32.540
Low on Boost is everybody in the field except for Bullseye who picked that one up. Is somebody on

01:55:32.540 --> 01:55:37.660
Concord on the way back? Krispie, Low on Boost manages to get the save and clear this one

01:55:37.660 --> 01:55:42.100
Now here I say we see overtime if something doesn't happen in the next 20 seconds

01:55:42.780 --> 01:55:46.740
And some you can see how hungry after blues to get forward because we have said yes

01:55:46.740 --> 01:55:49.300
They don't look too concerned when playing a lot of defense

01:55:49.300 --> 01:55:54.340
But the thing is that makes their hungry to get forward on their future and state do gets play offense five up

01:55:54.340 --> 01:56:00.660
Just that one touch now. They're maybe relying on some demos of the other way crispy last-ditch effort bullseye heavy deflection

01:56:00.660 --> 01:56:06.740
Where is Millio? He's just lurking with his limited boosts not gonna get that aerial and five up says you know what why not?

01:56:06.740 --> 01:56:08.960
I got a lot of boost and he knows what to do with it.

01:56:08.960 --> 01:56:11.460
Lee Block, Bullseye, he's walking downfield,

01:56:11.460 --> 01:56:16.420
crispy just in time to make sure, yes indeed, some OT.

01:56:16.420 --> 01:56:19.140
I was not surprised to see the zero second

01:56:19.140 --> 01:56:22.220
heroics come through and it doesn't mean it's still not

01:56:22.220 --> 01:56:26.700
over and Melio on the read and the bounce is too high.

01:56:26.700 --> 01:56:31.460
It goes across the backboard even after winning the read.

01:56:31.460 --> 01:56:35.260
A heartbreak for Akron Blue could have ended in an overtime

01:56:35.260 --> 01:56:37.660
And now they need to defend.

01:56:37.660 --> 01:56:41.620
Crispy patiently waiting five up originally there.

01:56:41.620 --> 01:56:43.140
Bullseye now working the corner,

01:56:43.140 --> 01:56:47.620
some boost stealing happening from Seymas as well as Hewlett.

01:56:47.620 --> 01:56:52.500
Winning patiently, still is Concord, letting the play happen.

01:56:52.500 --> 01:56:55.100
Bullseye off the clear, has Miliu upfield

01:56:55.100 --> 01:56:58.180
and they will have to retreat for now.

01:56:59.260 --> 01:57:01.140
Miliu good double 50 and he gets the boost steal

01:57:01.140 --> 01:57:03.340
on the far side which means five up is wide open

01:57:03.340 --> 01:57:04.860
for this one and he's gonna tap it down.

01:57:04.860 --> 01:57:07.940
Millio picks his spot, and yet it's still gonna be saved.

01:57:07.940 --> 01:57:09.320
How about Bullseye from an angle?

01:57:09.320 --> 01:57:11.520
High lob, it's again Five-Up lurking,

01:57:11.520 --> 01:57:13.700
but he knows he's not gonna get to this one,

01:57:13.700 --> 01:57:15.700
so he'll try to set up part two.

01:57:15.700 --> 01:57:18.460
Millio behind him with boost, playing off a 50,

01:57:18.460 --> 01:57:20.940
but Crispy plows right through it.

01:57:20.940 --> 01:57:23.020
Seymas right now just buying time,

01:57:23.020 --> 01:57:25.860
faking that he has boost, manages to get the 50.

01:57:25.860 --> 01:57:29.420
This one in midfield, Five-Up, well read.

01:57:29.420 --> 01:57:31.740
Seymas, then one on the back end.

01:57:31.740 --> 01:57:34.900
Bullseye delivering Helix together.

01:57:34.900 --> 01:57:38.540
Now Five Up just a quick flick to relieve some of that pressure.

01:57:38.540 --> 01:57:40.040
Milio out into midfield.

01:57:40.040 --> 01:57:44.460
Bullseye shut up, show that the blasted on in.

01:57:44.460 --> 01:57:49.300
Akron Blue take game three and OT.

01:57:49.300 --> 01:57:52.260
Five Up slaps Crispy, slows him down, seals the boost,

01:57:52.260 --> 01:57:53.540
and then Crispy gets back.

01:57:53.540 --> 01:57:54.860
It's just not enough.

01:57:54.860 --> 01:57:59.180
It's Cyberbullig all over, but it is Akron Blue clutching

01:57:59.180 --> 01:58:00.140
up in OT.

01:58:00.140 --> 01:58:02.640
They'll move on to match point.

01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:04.920
My goodness, what a back and forth series

01:58:04.920 --> 01:58:07.160
we have for ourselves today, Chikson.

01:58:07.160 --> 01:58:09.000
Yeah, I wish it was more.

01:58:09.000 --> 01:58:11.120
Both of these teams were seven and four,

01:58:11.120 --> 01:58:12.480
and not four and seven,

01:58:12.480 --> 01:58:15.440
because I still could have seen the scenario either way.

01:58:15.440 --> 01:58:19.920
They are so evenly matched in varying different aspects.

01:58:19.920 --> 01:58:23.240
You see Afrin Blue that ends up being

01:58:23.240 --> 01:58:25.320
a little bit more defensive,

01:58:25.320 --> 01:58:27.240
a little bit more counter attack.

01:58:27.240 --> 01:58:30.320
They have that sort of quick transition

01:58:30.320 --> 01:58:32.720
and those sneaky mechanics in Concord

01:58:32.720 --> 01:58:35.640
has a lot of the conventional passing plays,

01:58:35.640 --> 01:58:37.600
the regular mechanics that come through,

01:58:37.600 --> 01:58:40.840
the cleanup potential, both of them

01:58:40.840 --> 01:58:42.840
playing slightly different strategies

01:58:42.840 --> 01:58:45.520
that ultimately work for the play style

01:58:45.520 --> 01:58:49.480
and everything that they have together.

01:58:49.480 --> 01:58:52.520
It's an impressive series so far.

01:58:52.520 --> 01:58:55.560
One we knew would be very close between these two

01:58:55.560 --> 01:58:59.720
and they are just proving why you cannot count them out

01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:02.480
as you move on forward towards championships.

01:59:02.480 --> 01:59:03.880
Oh, I mean, you can't count anyone out.

01:59:03.880 --> 01:59:06.080
I think a lot of people make this mistake.

01:59:06.080 --> 01:59:07.240
And this happens every single semester

01:59:07.240 --> 01:59:09.960
when we see some teams, which Tom Sarkis, for example,

01:59:09.960 --> 01:59:11.120
only one win in league play,

01:59:11.120 --> 01:59:13.320
and people are saying, that team must not be good.

01:59:13.320 --> 01:59:16.520
Well, we also forget, these are the best teams

01:59:16.520 --> 01:59:17.920
in the entire nation.

01:59:17.920 --> 01:59:19.320
So even if you have a bad record,

01:59:19.320 --> 01:59:21.560
there are better than 99.99% teams

01:59:21.560 --> 01:59:23.200
that eat Concord and Akron Blue.

01:59:23.200 --> 01:59:25.680
also getting a lot of accolades, winning a lot of lands,

01:59:25.680 --> 01:59:27.560
always competitive and collegiate competitions.

01:59:27.560 --> 01:59:29.160
And when you see them play like this,

01:59:29.160 --> 01:59:31.160
it's not a surprise that it is back and forth.

01:59:31.160 --> 01:59:32.680
Both these teams, even winning,

01:59:32.680 --> 01:59:35.840
CRL opens in the prior CRL semesters.

01:59:35.840 --> 01:59:38.480
So no strangers to success, but of course,

01:59:38.480 --> 01:59:40.640
it's never going to be an easy series

01:59:40.640 --> 01:59:42.040
when they do do get out.

01:59:42.040 --> 01:59:44.680
Backward trying to make sure this one does not go to five,

01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:47.760
a familiar sight for many of Concord's series,

01:59:47.760 --> 01:59:48.760
which they're trying to avoid,

01:59:48.760 --> 01:59:51.160
but this time they have to go the distance

01:59:51.160 --> 01:59:53.920
and therefore they have to win here on the Utopia.

01:59:55.760 --> 01:59:57.680
Five up, no boost in the tank.

01:59:57.680 --> 02:00:00.200
We'll send this on to the Concorde half.

02:00:00.200 --> 02:00:03.960
Seymas taking his time, dribble into midfield connection

02:00:03.960 --> 02:00:06.280
with Crispy Bowell, red by Millio.

02:00:06.280 --> 02:00:09.560
Heal like last man back, just a little bit of a flip.

02:00:09.560 --> 02:00:11.240
Five up is there in time.

02:00:11.240 --> 02:00:13.320
Crispy on the 50, straight down.

02:00:13.320 --> 02:00:15.080
Heal like times an opportunity,

02:00:15.080 --> 02:00:18.160
shot easily, saved away in the corner.

02:00:18.160 --> 02:00:20.160
Concorde's still lurking.

02:00:20.160 --> 02:00:23.600
much more than that, now transition for Akron.

02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:27.400
That's such a cute touch there for Bullseye, and it almost worked out, the problem is Pre-Jump

02:00:27.400 --> 02:00:31.340
just didn't have enough speed to be able to be out those Pre-Jumping on the defense.

02:00:31.340 --> 02:00:34.800
That's gonna be five up there for, trying again to take it to the far side.

02:00:34.800 --> 02:00:38.400
Crispy almost man-marking that one, in fact handling that pitch so heavily that

02:00:38.400 --> 02:00:41.520
Bullseye can't get the read. Crispy in the mix. He looks just gonna keep

02:00:41.520 --> 02:00:44.440
possession, but he's got to get past five up, who's actually the only

02:00:44.440 --> 02:00:47.960
defender back. That reflection as Bullseye tries to help, it just panned

02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:54.360
the modium for Akron but apparently that's how they thrive. Somehow they're managing to find

02:00:54.360 --> 02:01:02.200
enough bumps enough for 50s to always throw off Concord. Boost in the tank for Concord again,

02:01:02.200 --> 02:01:08.280
but he loses control. So Akron now an opportunity and a little bit more boost steal. Avilia wasn't

02:01:08.280 --> 02:01:13.480
on the corner quick enough and Viva blasts back. It's a difficult situation. Milia on the turn

02:01:13.480 --> 02:01:18.120
to stay there. This one popping a bullsign coming in and by what does have

02:01:18.120 --> 02:01:23.080
boost now in net. I was worried Akron Blue would be boost star but they have

02:01:23.080 --> 02:01:28.040
enough there to again deflect this away. Comfort try as they may offensively

02:01:28.040 --> 02:01:31.960
they're the only team with shots so far still struggling to get one that's

02:01:31.960 --> 02:01:36.880
truly undeniable. But it's really a compliment being done in series isn't

02:01:36.880 --> 02:01:39.640
really hurting their confidence. This is a pre-jump for Smasa Crispy and it

02:01:39.640 --> 02:01:44.840
might hurt him at the demo, but Crispy is able to lean backwards and channel that one to the corner

02:01:44.840 --> 02:01:49.160
for some Austin. Therefore, take over pops it over Bullseye or rather Bullseye pops it over everyone

02:01:49.160 --> 02:01:54.120
because he likes to be only one up if only to be met by Millio on the backboard really making sure

02:01:54.120 --> 02:01:58.840
everybody is doing their defensive due diligence is of paramount importance for both these squads

02:01:58.840 --> 02:02:02.840
because it really takes a full team effort because there's all three from Akron trying to get the

02:02:02.840 --> 02:02:07.960
pass off with Bullseye does not want to bite. Definitely a bit unconventional but it ended

02:02:07.960 --> 02:02:14.680
I'm working out for just causing chaos and it's hard for Comfort to re-pop here. He looks

02:02:14.680 --> 02:02:19.320
will be to it first, has enough of a touch, but Crispy wasn't waiting for it. Is this one

02:02:19.320 --> 02:02:24.360
going to tear drop down? Five up gets the fuck out. But I don't know, Bullseye was ready

02:02:24.360 --> 02:02:29.400
for it to be that far away. Emilio's still working. Demo here, but Crispy on it first,

02:02:29.400 --> 02:02:36.440
gets this one out in a way. And we are tied somehow, still at 0-0 in game four. Uh-oh.

02:02:36.440 --> 02:02:40.600
Millio with the flip and that's not going to work out well for him.

02:02:40.600 --> 02:02:43.280
Somasses is opening and that's what happens.

02:02:43.280 --> 02:02:47.200
One play where you got yourself and the other team's gonna bounce.

02:02:47.200 --> 02:02:50.920
That's so rough to see that mistake happen.

02:02:50.920 --> 02:02:55.200
Sometimes you get a little too over eager, especially at the pace of play

02:02:55.200 --> 02:02:59.000
that we have seen a mistake comes through and I could make or

02:02:59.000 --> 02:03:03.160
break the confidence that you have not only in the game that is currently

02:03:03.160 --> 02:03:08.440
happening, Concord now with one that they were given, but that doesn't mean that they can let up,

02:03:08.440 --> 02:03:14.360
but one thing I don't want to see is them just turtle up because we know how well the likes

02:03:14.360 --> 02:03:17.880
of Akron Blue can play offensively, they get a good shot going.

02:03:19.160 --> 02:03:22.440
I actually really like that build up from Bullseye, I think his Smask snipped it out, so he's

02:03:22.440 --> 02:03:26.760
able to take that, it's short air dribble and bounce it over that challenge and now

02:03:26.760 --> 02:03:30.520
maybe get the outlet pass to Helix, who again will play for some possession, not going to

02:03:30.520 --> 02:03:34.120
to be able to get it and now Bullseye on his horse with momentum and a flick.

02:03:34.120 --> 02:03:38.440
Samas gets the first read. Millios got a pass. Middle Hill trying to find fire up.

02:03:38.440 --> 02:03:43.160
Yes, Samasa's chasing the whole way. The double commits for Conqueror making me a

02:03:43.160 --> 02:03:48.440
little bit nervous defensively but so far hasn't gotten them.

02:03:48.440 --> 02:03:52.400
Crispy not much boost in the tank. We'll just keep this one forward five

02:03:52.400 --> 02:03:57.600
up there. Seymas the deflection back over to him from Crispy. No shot

02:03:57.600 --> 02:04:02.960
will be found. He looks to himself but well read by Milio. When I sent this midfield to

02:04:02.960 --> 02:04:07.520
Bullseye, didn't have the exact touch. Good thing Five Up was there. Still dribbling. Has

02:04:07.520 --> 02:04:13.680
all three defenders on him and all three as well to flatten that one and get a worry about them

02:04:13.680 --> 02:04:21.600
turtling up. But for now no one is there in time to recover and Akron Blue ties it up.

02:04:22.240 --> 02:04:27.120
Man, I'd love to see this from Milio. Look at how little boost he has in the tank when he

02:04:27.120 --> 02:04:30.840
takes that arrow that is purely knowing if he goes in a straight line and leans

02:04:30.840 --> 02:04:33.840
into it right the end that can be a laser to the top shelf it's gonna be

02:04:33.840 --> 02:04:38.100
difficult for anyone to get on as they backpedal towards their goal and if

02:04:38.100 --> 02:04:41.880
comports not ready for this one as they are could have been even worse but I

02:04:41.880 --> 02:04:45.420
guess they're marking out goals here near Tokyo but the very least and still

02:04:45.420 --> 02:04:49.320
have some dramatic finishes as Comfort needs to be able to try to claw

02:04:49.320 --> 02:04:52.840
their way back in the lead so they can extend this series out crispy will

02:04:52.840 --> 02:04:54.000
will not take that dive in.

02:04:54.000 --> 02:04:55.240
He'll play for the next one.

02:04:55.240 --> 02:04:57.960
Amelia's still too fast.

02:04:57.960 --> 02:05:00.840
Five-up shot here fast, but easily saved away.

02:05:00.840 --> 02:05:03.320
Crispy note of collection, and this one

02:05:03.320 --> 02:05:06.000
is deflected out towards midfield.

02:05:06.000 --> 02:05:07.280
A couple seconds left on the clock.

02:05:07.280 --> 02:05:08.320
Bullseye off the corner.

02:05:08.320 --> 02:05:09.920
Double demo.

02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:11.760
But Seamoss just buying time.

02:05:11.760 --> 02:05:12.440
Bumped away.

02:05:12.440 --> 02:05:14.480
Five-up taken into the wall.

02:05:14.480 --> 02:05:16.800
Can someone get there back in time?

02:05:16.800 --> 02:05:19.800
This one looking to touch the grind of BC yet again.

02:05:19.800 --> 02:05:22.760
Another over the time.

02:05:22.760 --> 02:05:24.840
This is where things are really precarious, of course.

02:05:24.840 --> 02:05:26.800
Not much to play for in playoffs

02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:28.640
for the initial qualification of both these teams.

02:05:28.640 --> 02:05:30.760
It is not seeding for that LCQ.

02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:32.200
Every series matters so much.

02:05:32.200 --> 02:05:34.760
Therefore, Concord really needs this play to go

02:05:34.760 --> 02:05:35.600
and it will not.

02:05:35.600 --> 02:05:38.160
Another save, but how about a deflection as well?

02:05:38.160 --> 02:05:39.440
Five up and a foot race,

02:05:39.440 --> 02:05:42.680
which he will lose on the last second save.

02:05:42.680 --> 02:05:44.360
Well, I missed that touch as well

02:05:44.360 --> 02:05:45.840
and five up to come through.

02:05:45.840 --> 02:05:47.200
Has zero boost in the tank,

02:05:47.200 --> 02:05:48.480
but does get a bump through.

02:05:48.480 --> 02:05:50.720
Milio shot for a left!

02:05:50.720 --> 02:06:02.720
And again, another stutter for Melio in OT Redemption after the mistaken Akron Blue takes this series in 3-1 fashion.

02:06:02.720 --> 02:06:10.720
Melio putting them in the backpack. He had a little bit of a mistake halfway through, but ultimately he is able to make up for it by getting both of those goals.

02:06:10.720 --> 02:06:12.720
Look at the smiles on the side of Akron Blue.

02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:29.720
Honestly, all the effort squads playing pretty well so far, but definitely a lot of momentum for this squad in particular as we mentioned getting the upset over Northwood in their prior series on the play and now getting another one continue to stack wins late in the game improving that seating.

02:06:29.720 --> 02:06:35.380
I feel like a lot of times people like to call out, you know, who isn't doing as well.

02:06:35.380 --> 02:06:36.380
Who makes the mistake?

02:06:36.380 --> 02:06:40.460
Millio, if that series went different, you know someone would have chewed him out for

02:06:40.460 --> 02:06:41.460
it.

02:06:41.460 --> 02:06:47.520
But he comes back through, he makes two very important OT goals, ends up helping Akron

02:06:47.520 --> 02:06:52.980
Blue secure this victory, we get that little bit of a chip, feel that confidence again,

02:06:52.980 --> 02:06:57.180
and overall I'm very impressed with how Akron Blue plays today.

02:06:57.180 --> 02:07:00.980
the game. They were able to

02:07:00.980 --> 02:07:02.980
play against them. This wasn't

02:07:02.980 --> 02:07:04.980
a cakewalk. This wasn't easy

02:07:04.980 --> 02:07:06.980
for them. They had to fight

02:07:06.980 --> 02:07:08.980
back through it. And yet they

02:07:08.980 --> 02:07:10.980
remain calm, even after making

02:07:10.980 --> 02:07:12.980
those mistakes and did so

02:07:12.980 --> 02:07:14.980
well. And being able to play

02:07:14.980 --> 02:07:16.980
game like that against Concord,

02:07:16.980 --> 02:07:18.980
which many players or viewers

02:07:18.980 --> 02:07:20.180
if they come in, maybe a bit

02:07:20.180 --> 02:07:20.980
uninitiated to see her all

02:07:20.980 --> 02:07:21.980
them saying, Oh, yeah, Concord

02:07:21.980 --> 02:07:22.980
looked a little weird. No

02:07:22.980 --> 02:07:23.980
Acrim was just playing that

02:07:23.980 --> 02:07:24.980
well. They found a form.

02:07:24.980 --> 02:07:25.980
They found a strategy, and I

02:07:25.980 --> 02:07:26.980
think most importantly they

02:07:26.980 --> 02:07:29.100
they're going to play was kind of rocky earlier on,

02:07:29.100 --> 02:07:31.620
but they have found a play style that I think

02:07:31.620 --> 02:07:32.940
they've really tapped into.

02:07:32.940 --> 02:07:34.700
I think it's going to make them L.C.Q. demons,

02:07:34.700 --> 02:07:35.940
because that's really what they're playing for.

02:07:35.940 --> 02:07:37.980
But of course, we have a lot of potential tricks

02:07:37.980 --> 02:07:38.860
that still work through.

02:07:38.860 --> 02:07:40.620
And we'll be able to work through some of those

02:07:40.620 --> 02:07:41.660
after this break.

02:07:41.660 --> 02:07:43.660
We're going to throw you to another bit of commercials,

02:07:43.660 --> 02:07:44.940
but please stay tuned.

02:07:44.940 --> 02:07:47.220
More Sierra Week 5 coming up after this.

02:07:47.220 --> 02:08:12.220
Welcome to the end of the fight.

02:08:42.220 --> 02:09:08.220
Welcome to the end of the fight.

02:10:08.220 --> 02:10:35.220
Welcome to the end of the fight.

02:12:05.220 --> 02:12:07.220
I'll give it to you right now

02:12:11.220 --> 02:12:13.220
I'll give it to you

02:12:15.220 --> 02:12:17.220
Two step left with your right hand

02:12:22.220 --> 02:12:24.220
I'll give it to you

02:12:26.220 --> 02:12:28.220
Two step left with your left hand

02:12:33.220 --> 02:12:34.220
I'll give it to you

02:14:05.220 --> 02:14:08.220
Two step left, we'll get right back up.

02:14:27.220 --> 02:14:30.220
Two step left, we'll get right back up.

02:16:05.220 --> 02:16:08.300
Yeah, I mean, it's been a streak of victories lately.

02:16:08.300 --> 02:16:11.140
I don't know what's going on in comparison.

02:16:11.140 --> 02:16:12.700
Maybe your teammate behind you in bullseye.

02:16:12.700 --> 02:16:14.380
Hello, Bullseye, how are we doing?

02:16:14.380 --> 02:16:16.660
Maybe you guys can give us a little bit of insight here

02:16:16.660 --> 02:16:18.980
because this is actually, maybe you didn't know this,

02:16:18.980 --> 02:16:20.340
this is the first time all semester

02:16:20.340 --> 02:16:21.700
that you guys are actually above

02:16:21.700 --> 02:16:23.420
the goal team in standings now.

02:16:23.420 --> 02:16:24.260
I know, I know.

02:16:24.260 --> 02:16:26.180
How does it feel to be back on top?

02:16:26.180 --> 02:16:27.180
It feels great, it feels great.

02:16:27.180 --> 02:16:28.780
I hope we can stay there for a little bit.

02:16:28.780 --> 02:16:29.780
I hope they, I mean,

02:16:29.780 --> 02:16:30.900
I really want them to be Concord.

02:16:30.900 --> 02:16:31.820
Don't get me wrong.

02:16:31.820 --> 02:16:32.660
Come on, dude.

02:16:32.660 --> 02:16:47.980
I hope that you guys continue on with this success so far, but it does kind of feel like

02:16:47.980 --> 02:16:51.460
the success is maybe a newer thing for you guys at the very end of the semester.

02:16:51.460 --> 02:16:53.980
It clearly you know was not necessarily the same chemistry.

02:16:53.980 --> 02:16:56.460
Now you've gone and beaten back to back CRL champs.

02:16:56.460 --> 02:16:58.300
You just be north with three to zero.

02:16:58.300 --> 02:16:59.940
You just be Concord.

02:16:59.940 --> 02:17:02.340
What is changed and help you guys find this new form?

02:17:02.340 --> 02:17:04.140
Well, I think the first half of the league play,

02:17:04.140 --> 02:17:07.220
we just would, I mean, our scrims went okay.

02:17:07.220 --> 02:17:08.540
And we didn't really think about

02:17:08.540 --> 02:17:10.980
how to change play styles for the first half.

02:17:10.980 --> 02:17:13.420
We just show up and on that day for playing well,

02:17:13.420 --> 02:17:15.460
it worked, if it didn't, it didn't work.

02:17:15.460 --> 02:17:18.700
But I think going into the scrim against WVU

02:17:18.700 --> 02:17:21.460
before we played Northwood earlier in the week,

02:17:21.460 --> 02:17:25.100
we just decided to just play fast and not care.

02:17:25.100 --> 02:17:28.660
And just didn't respect anybody on the ball

02:17:28.660 --> 02:17:31.740
and ended up working out in this last two series.

02:17:31.740 --> 02:17:35.000
Let's play fast, play confident, and yeah.

02:17:35.000 --> 02:17:37.400
I'm hearing disrespect is the key of winning,

02:17:37.400 --> 02:17:39.080
is what I'm getting gathered here.

02:17:39.080 --> 02:17:40.080
Pretty much, yes.

02:17:40.080 --> 02:17:41.360
Thank you, Pugs.

02:17:41.360 --> 02:17:43.120
Well, you know what, at this point,

02:17:43.120 --> 02:17:44.480
at this point, unfortunately, you guys

02:17:44.480 --> 02:17:46.760
aren't going to get many other chances to do the same thing

02:17:46.760 --> 02:17:49.520
in lean play, but you're already locked into the LCQ.

02:17:49.520 --> 02:17:51.200
How are you guys feeling overall?

02:17:51.200 --> 02:17:53.000
Because again, momentum's all on your side.

02:17:53.000 --> 02:17:55.360
Obviously, the ambitions for all teams are to win it,

02:17:55.360 --> 02:17:56.640
but I'm going to be real, man.

02:17:56.640 --> 02:17:58.360
I could see a world where y'all take that and make

02:17:58.360 --> 02:17:59.040
it into playoffs.

02:17:59.040 --> 02:18:01.000
I have to imagine that is the picture you guys are

02:18:01.000 --> 02:18:02.360
going for as well.

02:18:02.360 --> 02:18:03.320
Yeah, very much so.

02:18:03.320 --> 02:18:05.640
I think as of lately, since we've been playing better,

02:18:05.640 --> 02:18:08.160
we're very confident going into it.

02:18:08.160 --> 02:18:10.800
Every other team that will be in the LCKQ,

02:18:10.800 --> 02:18:13.280
we've beaten in some league or some scrims,

02:18:13.280 --> 02:18:14.800
some way, shape, and form.

02:18:14.800 --> 02:18:16.400
So we know how they all play, and we

02:18:16.400 --> 02:18:18.640
believe that if we just keep playing confident

02:18:18.640 --> 02:18:20.240
through our thing, we'll be able to make

02:18:20.240 --> 02:18:22.240
a deep run in the LCKQ.

02:18:22.240 --> 02:18:24.160
I believe in you guys, and I appreciate

02:18:24.160 --> 02:18:25.640
you hopping on here for the interview.

02:18:25.640 --> 02:18:28.000
Clearly, you've got a lot of distractions around you,

02:18:28.000 --> 02:18:30.980
so I'll let you maybe go back to telling

02:18:30.980 --> 02:18:33.500
everybody to stop bobbing you do the interview and maybe so you can give a

02:18:33.500 --> 02:18:36.420
little extra words of encouragement to Akron gold before they get into their

02:18:36.420 --> 02:18:39.780
series. Milio, I appreciate you dropping on. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

02:18:41.780 --> 02:18:45.900
All right. That was Milio from Akron blue. And as we just talked about the

02:18:45.900 --> 02:18:49.420
back on top, they finally have overcome their sister team in Akron gold.

02:18:49.420 --> 02:18:53.020
And officially Akron blue is now, you know, the A squad all over again.

02:18:53.780 --> 02:18:56.700
I'm sorry. Was that a cactus? Was that a hand?

02:18:56.700 --> 02:19:16.700
Yeah, this has been a very impressive version of Akron blue here. And I think that's the biggest thing is that a lot of teams will come into into events like this and obviously they're not going to show the best version of them early, but at a certain point, the loose motivation and just kind of go, all right, GG is going to be a good team.

02:19:16.700 --> 02:19:22.160
And I think that's the biggest thing is that a lot of teams will come into into events like this and obviously they're not gonna show

02:19:22.160 --> 02:19:25.800
The best version of them early, but at a certain point the loose motivation and just kind of go all right

02:19:26.120 --> 02:19:30.160
GG's go next and I think it's especially easy to do so when you got to play like five of one your team

02:19:30.160 --> 02:19:34.840
Who is maybe prioritizing is all CS games a little bit more, but oh this team said hey

02:19:34.840 --> 02:19:40.440
We sat down we made adjustments and we did what was necessary and honestly credit to them for doing so man

02:19:40.440 --> 02:19:43.160
We heard the same thing from WVU and look how that worked out

02:19:43.160 --> 02:19:47.160
Yeah, I'm talking about WVU and their mammoth rush out the

02:19:47.160 --> 02:19:50.660
champion really reporting that over the weekend. But as we roll

02:19:50.660 --> 02:19:54.660
on on this league play Sunday, a lot more results are coming

02:19:54.660 --> 02:19:59.660
in thick and fast. I mean, Baylor three over Wichita state.

02:19:59.660 --> 02:20:02.160
Some people call it an upset. Some people hear the desk

02:20:02.160 --> 02:20:05.260
say otherwise. That was pretty solid. And Davenport three

02:20:05.260 --> 02:20:09.660
old ball state. So it's like ball state is having themselves

02:20:09.660 --> 02:20:11.860
a little bit of an issue here. They're after winning

02:20:11.860 --> 02:20:13.940
their match on stream.

02:20:13.940 --> 02:20:17.040
Davenport has an opportunity in the season 11-4.

02:20:17.040 --> 02:20:19.900
It has to come with a bunch of victories quite like that.

02:20:19.900 --> 02:20:22.580
That was the first built-in block when it comes to that as well.

02:20:22.580 --> 02:20:24.440
Ball State falls to the top four.

02:20:24.440 --> 02:20:26.120
Taco, talk to me, man.

02:20:26.120 --> 02:20:27.860
Already, things are coming in.

02:20:27.860 --> 02:20:29.160
Got results left and right.

02:20:29.160 --> 02:20:31.560
How do you feel how this day is going to shake out?

02:20:31.560 --> 02:20:33.660
I mean, the one team that we haven't really talked about

02:20:33.660 --> 02:20:34.720
because we haven't seen them,

02:20:34.720 --> 02:20:36.560
and we will be seeing them a little bit later,

02:20:36.560 --> 02:20:38.960
Davenport has so much potential behind them

02:20:38.960 --> 02:20:41.760
because they have five games still to play,

02:20:41.760 --> 02:20:45.600
within league play so they can influence a lot of the record they still may have

02:20:45.600 --> 02:20:48.680
those four losses that is the number one statistic everyone needs to be

02:20:48.680 --> 02:20:52.000
looking at this league play and paying attention to Winthrop is the other squad

02:20:52.000 --> 02:20:56.080
that has a lot of ability to influence how high they can reach but the thing

02:20:56.080 --> 02:20:59.600
is only one of these squads can actually come out on top and it's why

02:20:59.600 --> 02:21:02.480
we're counting all these victories down for spin hot they've got a great

02:21:02.480 --> 02:21:05.840
number of upsets and we're thinking okay cool but how far can they really

02:21:05.840 --> 02:21:09.080
carry it that three over ball state we saw how good they looked earlier

02:21:09.080 --> 02:21:11.240
against gold, and yet they could not put up a game.

02:21:11.240 --> 02:21:13.280
So I think when we're looking at these standings,

02:21:13.280 --> 02:21:14.400
it just continues to heat up.

02:21:14.400 --> 02:21:17.080
And again, there's no disappointing week of CRL

02:21:17.080 --> 02:21:18.120
this semester.

02:21:18.120 --> 02:21:20.360
It is just going to be action from start to finish.

02:21:20.360 --> 02:21:22.800
If in the chat right now on Twitch or YouTube,

02:21:22.800 --> 02:21:24.800
but there's something in there, let us read.

02:21:24.800 --> 02:21:26.840
I want to be able to see what you think about the results

02:21:26.840 --> 02:21:29.760
thus far, but we got to keep moving on to our third match

02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:30.560
up of the evening.

02:21:30.560 --> 02:21:31.960
For an ultimate matchup, if you will,

02:21:31.960 --> 02:21:34.240
is that good goal coming back for a double feature

02:21:34.240 --> 02:21:37.200
against Concord also with a double feature,

02:21:37.200 --> 02:21:42.240
like a time on stream today and well, we were trying to think about predictions, but get to that in

02:21:42.240 --> 02:21:46.560
the moment. But I feel like this one of the hardest ones to call chicks that let me ask you this,

02:21:46.560 --> 02:21:50.640
this is a different kind of matchup a concord, but will the results be the same? Is there anyone

02:21:50.640 --> 02:21:54.080
here you think we're gonna stick out here and show out? And is that coming matchup?

02:21:54.880 --> 02:22:00.720
Oh, stick out and show out. Uh, you know, let me let me give it to Helix this time. He's

02:22:00.720 --> 02:22:05.360
normally the X factor. We asked how we would do a crispy theme also bunch like this has been

02:22:05.360 --> 02:22:07.200
in the ongoing story.

02:22:07.200 --> 02:22:08.440
And I think Helix, you know,

02:22:08.440 --> 02:22:10.200
if someone's going to ball out,

02:22:10.200 --> 02:22:12.760
is going to try to have some redemption right now

02:22:12.760 --> 02:22:15.720
on this one, it's gonna be Helix who tries to lock in.

02:22:16.680 --> 02:22:17.840
Yeah, I'm with you.

02:22:17.840 --> 02:22:19.360
I've always thought about that one-two punch.

02:22:19.360 --> 02:22:21.520
I love that Helix and Salma's play.

02:22:21.520 --> 02:22:23.440
I think it's one of the strongest duos

02:22:23.440 --> 02:22:24.480
when it comes to CRL.

02:22:24.480 --> 02:22:27.760
Let's see if it does something for the team today.

02:22:27.760 --> 02:22:30.880
Now, gold historically has had a different fate.

02:22:30.880 --> 02:22:33.320
I mean, their season has been pretty solid.

02:22:33.320 --> 02:22:40.120
their vast, but the last couple of go rounds really weren't the full strength. What can they do?

02:22:40.120 --> 02:22:44.280
They got themselves in for a chance of a tough year today. Again, I think there needs to be a

02:22:44.280 --> 02:22:48.040
level of consistency, and I think there needs to be an immediate hitting the ground running. I think

02:22:48.040 --> 02:22:52.200
the warmup that we saw from Akron Gold in their prior series today versus Ball State is not

02:22:52.200 --> 02:22:55.880
something they can afford here in any way, shape or form. You need to make sure that,

02:22:55.880 --> 02:22:59.400
especially against a team like Concord, that you are immediately prepared for the offense that

02:22:59.400 --> 02:23:02.120
they're going to produce, the defense they're going to produce, and really admit pure pressure

02:23:02.120 --> 02:23:07.320
that we require to get past that defense as well. So I think there's a lot that needs to be done.

02:23:07.320 --> 02:23:11.880
I have a lot of faith that Akron Gold can get it done, but I don't know man. We had a kind of

02:23:11.880 --> 02:23:15.880
debate of like what version of Concord are we going to see? I see a very angry Concord. I see

02:23:15.880 --> 02:23:19.720
in that Concord it's not happy. They just took that last lock at loss and they're going to use

02:23:19.720 --> 02:23:24.040
this as a chance for revenge. Yeah, I'm not sure if an angry Concord is what you want,

02:23:24.040 --> 02:23:28.200
but I think we're going to get that. That's for, that's for Deng Shor. Because really

02:23:28.200 --> 02:23:39.200
These two teams were technically eliminated from top four doesn't mean they have another to play for a lot of things coming out of this series will definitely pay a bit of a wave moving forward.

02:23:39.200 --> 02:23:51.200
But look, everyone there is ready to go. I think we're about ready to go in just a moment themselves. So I will say kind of a pre prediction for we get to actual predictions. I think this one here today can go the distance.

02:23:51.200 --> 02:23:59.000
Well, let's do it. Let's get right into our next wave as we get ourselves ready for the next matchup, the evening prediction time.

02:23:59.000 --> 02:24:06.000
Taco, gotta start with you. We saw Akwin gold on stream. We saw Conkord on stream. Who do you got going for it?

02:24:06.000 --> 02:24:11.600
So going into this one, I actually immediately was like, you know, I got gold and I put him down and I thought about it some more.

02:24:11.600 --> 02:24:16.000
And I'm like, I don't really like how raw around the edges it looked. Gold was rotating.

02:24:16.000 --> 02:24:19.000
They play really leafy on offense, but they give up a lot of easy goals.

02:24:19.000 --> 02:24:24.640
I think Concord eats teams like that for breakfast typically I'm gonna lean towards Concord although. I do agree with you nivanta

02:24:24.640 --> 02:24:27.720
I could definitely see this one going the distance. Oh, man

02:24:27.720 --> 02:24:33.600
I imagine that that's the five one league play week five. Why not you know what fast

02:24:33.760 --> 02:24:39.200
Let me know if you're in agreement with taco or if you have another thing on top of your mind that comes with predictions

02:24:39.200 --> 02:24:43.080
This year look I agree with taco. I think Concord's taking this one

02:24:43.080 --> 02:24:46.320
I don't know if it's a head and shoulders difference between the two teams

02:24:46.320 --> 02:24:50.880
I do think that there's a world where Akron gold could win this series, especially if they pop off as necessary

02:24:50.880 --> 02:24:55.880
But again, I think by concern is a slow start for them versus a concord who are already warmed up

02:24:55.880 --> 02:25:00.200
They just play the series and who like I said are probably not for real with the result that they just put out

02:25:00.400 --> 02:25:01.840
Revenge is a heck of a motivator man

02:25:01.840 --> 02:25:06.560
And I think that for a concord team who has already had a semester that I think is under par for their usual

02:25:06.560 --> 02:25:10.640
They're gonna use this again as a way to you know, let their frustrations out if you will

02:25:10.640 --> 02:25:12.720
I haven't actually measured this

02:25:12.720 --> 02:25:19.180
I kind of feel that when teams are doing streams back to back the tend to split that's kind of just my head cannon

02:25:19.180 --> 02:25:23.080
I'm not sure if it's real chicks. Am I crazy or do you agree as well?

02:25:24.420 --> 02:25:29.140
I'm agreeing with the other two castors so far that concord is gonna take this one

02:25:29.140 --> 02:25:35.060
I do think that no way you let the same college beat you twice in one day

02:25:35.060 --> 02:25:40.940
That's pretty embarrassing. So I'm pretty sure concord, you know, if anything they're fueled up

02:25:40.940 --> 02:25:48.020
they do not. Similarly, so I think gold though is fueled up to be back on top of blue because

02:25:48.020 --> 02:25:52.140
we had mentioned that blue for once has the better quote unquote record differential than

02:25:52.140 --> 02:25:57.220
them. But I do think Concord still look very solid in that last series and revenge is a

02:25:57.220 --> 02:26:01.580
crazy motivator at this point in the season. Okay, I'm on I gotta be honest with everyone

02:26:01.580 --> 02:26:05.660
here. I'm scared because I picked Concord as well. So not only have you cast their

02:26:05.660 --> 02:26:09.540
curse through the desk, I do think Chicks said what you just said might get cropped

02:26:09.540 --> 02:26:14.460
out for a cliff if that would be the case. I'm going with Concord here too. I do feel

02:26:14.460 --> 02:26:18.980
like there is a bit of a wild card thing about them. We saw how that could be on a bad

02:26:18.980 --> 02:26:24.580
side with that last series, but I could go stumbling in the last part of the season

02:26:24.580 --> 02:26:29.700
this semester. I do think Concord has the advantage and I hope that I don't go over

02:26:29.700 --> 02:26:35.020
three because I would be a nervous wreck if that would be the case. But let's get

02:26:35.020 --> 02:26:39.280
right to it. I think both teams are ready to hit that pitch. And

02:26:39.280 --> 02:26:41.680
we need to know that no, I just been informed to hang out for a

02:26:41.680 --> 02:26:43.680
bit. And that's great because I have something on my mind that's

02:26:43.680 --> 02:26:46.240
been burning on the top of my brain. I'm going to ask you this

02:26:46.240 --> 02:26:48.960
taco. Listen, talk about different kinds of rotations,

02:26:48.960 --> 02:26:51.640
right? And we saw how agron gold and agron blue have

02:26:51.640 --> 02:26:55.160
different approaches to the approach when it comes to their

02:26:55.160 --> 02:26:58.480
offensive attack. I was talking about chapter and verbs about

02:26:58.480 --> 02:27:01.720
how good he let's end some miles are when it comes to that

02:27:01.720 --> 02:27:05.000
one two punch. What things do they have to do to break that

02:27:05.000 --> 02:27:07.000
the feds to get some goals on the board.

02:27:07.000 --> 02:27:09.320
I think a million interview said it.

02:27:09.320 --> 02:27:11.560
Something that I love to see is like you have no respect

02:27:11.560 --> 02:27:12.360
for anyone in the field.

02:27:12.360 --> 02:27:14.440
You are playing players who have played RLCS in EU.

02:27:14.440 --> 02:27:16.480
You have players who have played RLCS in Sam

02:27:16.480 --> 02:27:17.200
if you're playing Fisher.

02:27:17.200 --> 02:27:18.680
So you need to be able to just go on it.

02:27:18.680 --> 02:27:20.080
You can't just wait and say, ah, I

02:27:20.080 --> 02:27:21.000
don't want to get beat on the top.

02:27:21.000 --> 02:27:21.800
Everyone's going to get beat.

02:27:21.800 --> 02:27:23.040
You have to trust your rotation.

02:27:23.040 --> 02:27:25.200
So I think if this is the Acre Gold squad,

02:27:25.200 --> 02:27:27.320
they need to be able to take on that mantra,

02:27:27.320 --> 02:27:28.240
trust in their rotation.

02:27:28.240 --> 02:27:29.960
The chemistry is going to carry them through and kind

02:27:29.960 --> 02:27:31.560
of just full send because I feel like in that last

02:27:31.560 --> 02:27:33.360
series, I can go ahead those moments where they

02:27:33.360 --> 02:27:34.800
were going for another times where they were kind

02:27:34.800 --> 02:27:38.640
back off, absorb pressure and you can only do that for so long until you have something

02:27:38.640 --> 02:27:39.640
going in the back of your neck.

02:27:39.640 --> 02:27:40.640
Yeah, absolutely.

02:27:40.640 --> 02:27:42.800
We're getting the teams ready hands right now.

02:27:42.800 --> 02:27:46.640
I'm seeing Patty is trying to get themselves back into form of the last series.

02:27:46.640 --> 02:27:51.360
And I think I had a note in my nose of how Patty was just so good at occupying space

02:27:51.360 --> 02:27:55.800
always seem to be unmarked, especially in that mid pitch against that wall.

02:27:55.800 --> 02:27:57.600
And Jigsaw, I'm gonna kick it to you.

02:27:57.600 --> 02:28:00.760
If you're somebody that really has an opportunity to score, it's only a matter

02:28:00.760 --> 02:28:04.320
of time before you really open up and have a career game, am I right?

02:28:04.320 --> 02:28:10.720
Yeah, Patty you saw he had that cool. We slow-mode that shot down, you know, thanks to our our back end production

02:28:10.720 --> 02:28:16.200
We slow-mode one of Patty's double tap reads that was really just a phenomenal shot

02:28:16.200 --> 02:28:24.800
And I think Patty, you know, I remember his intro into CRL as the freshman and he has now been around for a little bit of a while

02:28:25.160 --> 02:28:33.240
He has stellar plays like that. Honestly also vibes to oxy though. I want to know what song he is currently listening to

02:28:34.320 --> 02:28:41.520
is bobbing so much because man if there's one way to not get like absolutely like stale

02:28:41.520 --> 02:28:46.560
in a you know kind of a waiting situation is listening to some really good music but yeah

02:28:46.560 --> 02:28:52.960
I think patty always has such good uh pop off potential and he has consistently been like that

02:28:52.960 --> 02:28:58.160
for quite some time so if he is on and he's gonna be hitting more of those crazy double tap reads

02:28:58.160 --> 02:29:03.520
then I would definitely watch out for patty in particular can I ask also another side note

02:29:03.520 --> 02:29:11.440
question because I only noticed this with concord what is better when gaming a dark room like dark like you

02:29:12.960 --> 02:29:20.960
are the only only light or like accurate facility they have all the light they have everything which is

02:29:20.960 --> 02:29:25.840
better in your opinion well i can't answer that question because i'm a diamond too but i will

02:29:25.840 --> 02:29:30.960
say the dark room gets me locked in i do feel like i'm inside of the vehicle like i'm inside

02:29:30.960 --> 02:29:35.960
I feel like I'm going to be able to be more hands-on with this, but you know what, Anel's an L.

02:29:35.960 --> 02:29:37.960
It's a matter of how I find this outside.

02:29:37.960 --> 02:29:44.960
What I don't understand is the players who play in pitch black, but then their brightness is on like 10,000%

02:29:44.960 --> 02:29:48.960
and it's like a blinding flash. I'm like, I play on like super low brightness all the time.

02:29:48.960 --> 02:29:51.960
So I've never understood it. I mean, Helix is going to get a tan off that LED.

02:29:51.960 --> 02:29:53.960
He's going to get a flash of that.

02:29:53.960 --> 02:29:59.960
It's loving. It's like their face is all dark, but their skin is still like...

02:29:59.960 --> 02:30:01.320
So we're talking about third man.

02:30:01.320 --> 02:30:03.840
And I know our third man, a third vehicle on the team.

02:30:03.840 --> 02:30:04.920
Brass, I want to ask you this.

02:30:04.920 --> 02:30:09.760
A lot of ink has not been spilled about Ascii and Crispy.

02:30:09.760 --> 02:30:11.640
If there's ever one of the two that you think

02:30:11.640 --> 02:30:13.360
they should really highlight when it comes to being able

02:30:13.360 --> 02:30:16.360
to step up, could really be the round for that team,

02:30:16.360 --> 02:30:18.680
what do you have on your notes going forward?

02:30:18.680 --> 02:30:19.840
It's got to be Crispy, man.

02:30:19.840 --> 02:30:21.400
I mean, we've heard this from multiple players.

02:30:21.400 --> 02:30:22.800
It's one of those things where Crispy is,

02:30:22.800 --> 02:30:25.600
I think by his own measure and by most other measurements,

02:30:25.600 --> 02:30:26.960
has underperformed this season.

02:30:26.960 --> 02:30:29.120
And I think that is not necessarily an insult to him.

02:30:29.120 --> 02:30:33.780
I think it's just the caliber at which Crispy has proven himself in other capacities and other competitions

02:30:33.780 --> 02:30:36.560
This is a guy that multiple players in the league if you asked like you know

02:30:36.560 --> 02:30:37.720
Who are the top three players?

02:30:37.720 --> 02:30:41.180
Crispy's gonna be on that list and he has done that time and time again

02:30:41.180 --> 02:30:45.860
So I would agree that like he's got to step up man. He looks in some awesome pretty good in last year

02:30:45.860 --> 02:30:49.720
I feel like we didn't see much of Crispy if at all. So I would love to see him pop off

02:30:49.720 --> 02:30:52.680
I know that they have the potential to do so but again for both of these teams

02:30:52.680 --> 02:30:57.360
They need individual players to step up if they don't have that pop-off factor the mechanical factor

02:30:57.360 --> 02:30:59.360
this is really anybody's ballgame.

02:30:59.360 --> 02:31:01.360
Oh, anybody's ballgame.

02:31:01.360 --> 02:31:03.360
And you know what? I love talking league,

02:31:03.360 --> 02:31:05.360
but the time for talk is over.

02:31:05.360 --> 02:31:07.360
Let's get right into it.

02:31:07.360 --> 02:31:09.360
As Acre is called against Conqueror.

02:31:09.360 --> 02:31:11.360
It's double trouble both these teams.

02:31:11.360 --> 02:31:13.360
A serial semester can feel like a marathon,

02:31:13.360 --> 02:31:15.360
but now I ask which side has a mental grip

02:31:15.360 --> 02:31:18.360
to get themselves over the finish line.

02:31:18.360 --> 02:31:21.360
League play week five. Let's go.

02:31:51.360 --> 02:31:55.980
to do so. Yeah, I love talking about these two schools in particular because

02:31:55.980 --> 02:32:01.320
Akron we have said time and time again is just so historic in terms of collegiate

02:32:01.320 --> 02:32:05.120
rocket league and Concord has been newcomers who have generally speaking

02:32:05.120 --> 02:32:10.120
done well in previous seasons not this season as we're mentioning in time we

02:32:10.120 --> 02:32:14.600
are currently in the present. This game needs to mean a lot to these two

02:32:14.600 --> 02:32:18.880
teams and they have to do a good job out on the field. They had some time

02:32:18.880 --> 02:32:24.800
waiting and now just as that they'll be just as patient on the field but right now we will see

02:32:24.800 --> 02:32:30.480
can Concord come back after this loss or is Akron Gold as well I'm going to come back today

02:32:30.480 --> 02:32:37.680
after you know a very tough series one as well to start off today. As Akron team like we said

02:32:37.680 --> 02:32:41.360
has kind of been somewhere in between at moments we've had these guys ranked within the top 10

02:32:41.360 --> 02:32:44.560
of collegiate rock league at other moments we've kind of been like I don't really know how

02:32:44.560 --> 02:32:49.600
to rate you. That'd be fair. It's kind of the same for Concord here. This is a team that definitively

02:32:49.600 --> 02:32:54.000
was top five and all of which are actually coming into this semester and as time has gone on that

02:32:54.000 --> 02:32:58.240
has been less and less the case. So the questions only continue here for Concord but if they can

02:32:58.240 --> 02:33:02.640
get a win early it'll help them out. That I don't think is going to help them. This pass down

02:33:02.640 --> 02:33:06.880
should but he looks cannot connect. Samos comes diving in. He's got no boost so there

02:33:06.880 --> 02:33:10.640
isn't even going to be a 50 but early on Concord with a couple of signs of life.

02:33:10.640 --> 02:33:17.000
We're definitely trying, but not there on the execution at least right now, but they

02:33:17.000 --> 02:33:22.480
have plenty of time to get back into it, get on the back end of things.

02:33:22.480 --> 02:33:27.320
Patty steals the boost for Helix, has it up in the tank to hopefully get this one away.

02:33:27.320 --> 02:33:31.280
No one on the read and Krispy just picks up the ball that is waiting there.

02:33:31.280 --> 02:33:34.640
Good to just be and save by Patty.

02:33:34.640 --> 02:33:39.040
Patiently waiting if Helix on the side while he will pick this up, but a great

02:33:39.040 --> 02:33:43.840
can test by oxy from the backboard down, we'll get the clear out as well and for now

02:33:43.840 --> 02:33:48.580
pressure again released by Concord. A lot of awkward dives are Concord on the

02:33:48.580 --> 02:33:51.880
opponent's corner they've left the third man back at multiple moments here

02:33:51.880 --> 02:33:54.400
although hasn't gotten punished yet I don't necessarily think that's a winning

02:33:54.400 --> 02:33:58.120
strategy against an Akron who don't seem all too fazed by mostly offense being

02:33:58.120 --> 02:34:00.840
thrown at them. One good counter attack they can break out and find an

02:34:00.840 --> 02:34:04.760
opportunity this could be the one. Grogs will stay steadfast as he

02:34:04.760 --> 02:34:07.920
makes the save and turns this one out to midfield and he's gonna get it

02:34:07.920 --> 02:34:11.420
back to himself after a pass from Smoss, but he doesn't read that either.

02:34:11.420 --> 02:34:12.780
Awkwardness for Helix here.

02:34:12.780 --> 02:34:15.340
I know that Novanta was saying, this is the guy that needs to step up.

02:34:15.340 --> 02:34:17.700
This was the guy I was paying attention to.

02:34:17.700 --> 02:34:20.940
And through the smoke, fire, and flames, Crispy will find the first goal.

02:34:20.940 --> 02:34:23.740
I'm not gonna say that was the cleanest execution, but

02:34:23.740 --> 02:34:27.900
Seamus enough in the way, gets a demo, gets a little bit of a bump,

02:34:27.900 --> 02:34:31.020
and Crispy shot ultimately too difficult to be saved.

02:34:31.020 --> 02:34:33.660
It's on the back end, the last defender in net.

02:34:33.660 --> 02:34:35.980
So Concord finally gets on the board, but

02:34:35.980 --> 02:34:37.340
It has been difficult.

02:34:37.340 --> 02:34:39.540
The execution hasn't always been there.

02:34:39.540 --> 02:34:41.700
Some of those shots sloppier than needed.

02:34:41.700 --> 02:34:45.740
But for now, they're doing well to maintain a lead

02:34:45.740 --> 02:34:47.140
and some pressure.

02:34:47.140 --> 02:34:49.660
We'll see if Akron Gold can get back into this one

02:34:49.660 --> 02:34:50.860
to get some pressure of their own.

02:34:50.860 --> 02:34:54.340
They've only right now secured a single shot in the scoreboard.

02:34:54.340 --> 02:34:55.860
What a lot of players down the field, too.

02:34:55.860 --> 02:34:57.660
I feel like we've seen a player ready to cherry pick

02:34:57.660 --> 02:34:58.460
in multiple moments.

02:34:58.460 --> 02:34:59.580
But when the ball does get to them,

02:34:59.580 --> 02:35:01.100
they don't really do much with it.

02:35:01.100 --> 02:35:02.500
It was batting the beginning of the game

02:35:02.500 --> 02:35:04.020
and then it was Oxy on that last play.

02:35:04.020 --> 02:35:05.580
And neither one of them have really

02:35:05.580 --> 02:35:08.420
to do much with these long balls to open space.

02:35:08.420 --> 02:35:10.340
This could change if Oxy can get this to Yonathan

02:35:10.340 --> 02:35:11.180
on the side wall.

02:35:11.180 --> 02:35:12.220
Yeah, he saw the same vision.

02:35:12.220 --> 02:35:14.260
And again, another player downfield

02:35:14.260 --> 02:35:17.020
that just doesn't connect with the initial pass.

02:35:17.020 --> 02:35:19.500
It seems like, although you're cherry picking,

02:35:19.500 --> 02:35:21.460
you still need a little bit of boost in the tank

02:35:21.460 --> 02:35:22.340
to do something with it.

02:35:22.340 --> 02:35:22.980
Absolutely.

02:35:22.980 --> 02:35:26.700
And all these times, you're seeing 12 or less in the tank,

02:35:26.700 --> 02:35:29.620
and the touch comes off weak and not as well prepared

02:35:29.620 --> 02:35:31.060
as it needs to be.

02:35:31.060 --> 02:35:33.420
Now difficult, everyone throwing themselves up the ball.

02:35:33.420 --> 02:35:39.060
And luckily for our Akring gold, it does get cleared away, but for now, they need to stop

02:35:39.060 --> 02:35:42.860
clearing and just giving the ball away and have to get some good offense of pressure.

02:35:42.860 --> 02:35:47.420
If they're all on that 50 there, it may lead to some extended time, but no one's up and

02:35:47.420 --> 02:35:49.060
Seamoss is on the ball first.

02:35:49.060 --> 02:35:51.140
And pass back out to midfield.

02:35:51.140 --> 02:35:54.580
Once again, Akring will try for something midair that we blocked and worked out last

02:35:54.580 --> 02:35:55.580
time.

02:35:55.580 --> 02:35:56.700
The air dribble doesn't work out there either.

02:35:56.700 --> 02:35:59.700
Patty will intercept out of midfield to keep this play going.

02:35:59.700 --> 02:36:02.300
And again, it just kind of feels like they're trying to make these passing

02:36:02.300 --> 02:36:05.380
plays developed they're trying to connect midair and either concord with

02:36:05.380 --> 02:36:08.420
their a call their bluff and say you're not getting a shot here or be they will

02:36:08.420 --> 02:36:11.740
get in the way another good example yonatan has seemed to crash the net

02:36:11.740 --> 02:36:15.060
there and so he likes will just pop and poke it out to the side ball and find

02:36:15.060 --> 02:36:18.700
himself another escape and I've been a lot of good development play but no pay

02:36:18.700 --> 02:36:22.900
off so far not a single goal scored and another passing play that doesn't

02:36:22.900 --> 02:36:27.580
connect how they were hoping for it's oddly feels like a slower pace of play

02:36:27.580 --> 02:36:33.140
for both of these teams today. They're not getting the same amount of fluidity as you

02:36:33.140 --> 02:36:39.620
normally see, but Yonathan's touch initially goes up of every post possible and Tati able

02:36:39.620 --> 02:36:40.620
to clean it up.

02:36:40.620 --> 02:36:44.060
That's a great save from Helix. Unfortunately for Samoth, he knows he's going to probably

02:36:44.060 --> 02:36:47.420
need a follow up one and when Ricky shades right back in front of the net, he's just

02:36:47.420 --> 02:36:51.420
looking around cross-eyed hoping maybe he can picture where it is. Can't quite and

02:36:51.420 --> 02:36:56.580
we've got a tie ball game with 36 seconds to go. There's B. Try for something mid-air.

02:36:56.580 --> 02:37:02.580
They'll get around one, can get around another, no not even a fifty found, and Yonathan trying to wait for the pass out of midfield never gets to him.

02:37:02.580 --> 02:37:08.580
This will pop out in the corner and actually it's gonna be a good challenge from Concord, but unfortunately no follow-up to it.

02:37:08.580 --> 02:37:16.580
So Yonathan rips a shot on target and as this one comes off the backboard, it's now it's Concord's making full field march and uh, oh, they don't even get out of their own corner.

02:37:18.580 --> 02:37:22.580
They're still struggling and they don't have much boost in the tank again to work with.

02:37:22.580 --> 02:37:24.140
This touch is difficult.

02:37:24.140 --> 02:37:25.820
He likes to refuse.

02:37:25.820 --> 02:37:27.620
Why would you jump early?

02:37:27.620 --> 02:37:29.180
Yeah, I think he needs that up.

02:37:29.180 --> 02:37:33.260
And that's just a mistake at the goal line.

02:37:33.260 --> 02:37:34.420
I have no words for this.

02:37:34.420 --> 02:37:36.820
I would like to try to give Helix a benefit of the doubt

02:37:36.820 --> 02:37:39.500
and be like, amen, it happens to all of us.

02:37:39.500 --> 02:37:41.020
It shouldn't happen at this level.

02:37:41.020 --> 02:37:42.020
That is just an error.

02:37:42.020 --> 02:37:43.020
Clean through.

02:37:43.020 --> 02:37:44.860
He jumps early, think the shots can have more power.

02:37:44.860 --> 02:37:45.860
It just gets to him.

02:37:45.860 --> 02:37:47.140
He lets it float in front.

02:37:47.140 --> 02:37:48.420
And unfortunately, that's probably

02:37:48.420 --> 02:37:49.620
going to be the dagger for this game.

02:37:49.620 --> 02:37:52.460
Kongor going to try to keep this one up, but wait a minute.

02:37:52.460 --> 02:37:56.520
some loss actually? That's a chance! That'll bring us back to the other half, but

02:37:56.520 --> 02:37:59.380
Crispy should get there in time. If you can keep this up, there is still

02:37:59.380 --> 02:38:04.480
technically an opportunity. Never mind. Spike down and make the save,

02:38:04.480 --> 02:38:08.260
Jakesa, but that was absolutely Concord thrown away game number one.

02:38:08.260 --> 02:38:13.160
Yeah, I'm hoping I'm just gonna go with the muscle memory at its finest, because

02:38:13.160 --> 02:38:17.080
normally you're used to reacting at such a quicker pace, but that is

02:38:17.080 --> 02:38:20.480
absolutely just a mistake that you don't want to happen and that's

02:38:20.480 --> 02:38:22.480
I think confidence lies.

02:38:22.480 --> 02:38:30.480
Akron Gold was the team on the back, but I want to say for most of that game, but at the end of the day, all it takes is one or two opportunities.

02:38:30.480 --> 02:38:33.480
And Akron Gold took both of those opportunities.

02:38:33.480 --> 02:38:43.480
So they may have played more patient, a little bit more reserved, but at the end of the day, they won the game just because they didn't make a crucial mistake.

02:38:43.480 --> 02:38:47.880
mistake and again that's sometimes how it goes at this level of rockety is that if you're able to

02:38:47.880 --> 02:38:52.600
play a more precise game if you're able to avoid mistakes like that you're likely going to be able

02:38:52.600 --> 02:38:56.520
to win it doesn't necessarily take mechanical brilliance in some series it does require that i

02:38:56.520 --> 02:39:01.400
think an akong gold series earlier today it did require that in this one it's just them again

02:39:01.400 --> 02:39:06.440
playing as usual and donathan doing whatever that is man and he stared into my soul with that

02:39:06.440 --> 02:39:12.440
one i could feel that deep down i mean we know the vibes for akong gold have been good all

02:39:12.440 --> 02:39:17.400
day and I think that does play a part into how the team is feeling as a whole throughout a five

02:39:17.400 --> 02:39:23.960
minutes of gameplay. We talk a lot about just the mental aspect of the game and as for Akron Gold

02:39:23.960 --> 02:39:30.200
today I don't think they've been thrown off at least one day and that keeps them in these games

02:39:30.200 --> 02:39:36.680
even when they seemingly shouldn't be. So now Akron Gold has a game up on this one, Concord.

02:39:36.680 --> 02:39:41.080
Hopefully don't make any more crucial mistakes because they don't have any more to afford.

02:39:41.080 --> 02:39:46.080
But again, these teams are both eliminated from making it to playoffs without going to the LCEQ.

02:39:46.080 --> 02:39:49.080
So game differential isn't as important of a factor here.

02:39:49.080 --> 02:39:56.080
Law obviously split hairs when it comes to seeding the LCEQ, but I think for both of these teams, they're confident enough in their own play that they don't really care who they match up against.

02:39:56.080 --> 02:40:03.080
Maybe there's some preference one way or another, but they should be confident enough they can beat whoever, especially, I was gonna say, if Samosa can get shots like this,

02:40:03.080 --> 02:40:06.080
but not only does he not even hit the shot, it never really develops into one.

02:40:06.080 --> 02:40:09.080
Triple touch off the back door, it's just got too much power.

02:40:09.080 --> 02:40:13.600
Chris, we can do something else with the very, very light pinch down that never really turns into a pinch.

02:40:13.600 --> 02:40:15.440
And then the third man commits out of midfield.

02:40:15.440 --> 02:40:21.080
Voxy can up us all and get this to a teammate. It could be a free shot, but instead, it's another passing play that goes awry,

02:40:21.080 --> 02:40:28.760
and then an open net that still doesn't get fired upon. It's another miss, and from bad play to bad play, it's happening on both ends!

02:40:29.160 --> 02:40:37.360
Uh, it's just sloppy at this point, and you would think that everyone is, you know, trying to be as locked in as possible,

02:40:37.360 --> 02:40:42.000
But still the sloppiness keeps on coming out and it's not what you want to see from either

02:40:42.000 --> 02:40:48.080
of these two teams that we know can play so much better this again across the net again.

02:40:48.800 --> 02:40:55.920
Crispy is trying to buy some time. Seamock's lurking. He'll like there but has no middleman

02:40:55.920 --> 02:41:00.640
as he was just down. Again a lot of miscoordinated passes that just don't seem to connect to the

02:41:00.640 --> 02:41:04.720
level at which we expect and again it may sound harsh for me to keep harping upon the same

02:41:04.720 --> 02:41:12.120
But these are two teams that as we mentioned are incredibly high caliber and who have just players on it that have proven that through multiple accolades

02:41:12.120 --> 02:41:15.360
We've seen the players on this Akron team win

02:41:15.800 --> 02:41:19.320
Opens and CRL before we've seen all these guys make it to RLCS

02:41:19.320 --> 02:41:25.240
And we see the other side do the exact same thing heck these guys won a semester last year on Concord

02:41:25.240 --> 02:41:30.740
So we're expecting a certain level of play and right now it feels like both teams just are not coordinated enough to symmetry

02:41:30.740 --> 02:41:33.900
or the synchronicity that is required in a series like this.

02:41:33.900 --> 02:41:35.660
It's just not there at the moment.

02:41:35.660 --> 02:41:37.300
And maybe Akron can change that up.

02:41:37.300 --> 02:41:38.620
It's a great back pass to Patty.

02:41:38.620 --> 02:41:41.580
Can they do anything as this one gets to the backboard?

02:41:41.580 --> 02:41:43.300
Great clear by Crispy.

02:41:43.300 --> 02:41:45.740
Healy did also jump as well, though.

02:41:45.740 --> 02:41:47.900
So it's a little bit difficult for them

02:41:47.900 --> 02:41:51.580
to continue applying some pressure up field to Patty.

02:41:51.580 --> 02:41:54.060
Beats out a couple of yonathans, sends this back down.

02:41:54.060 --> 02:41:57.100
Patty no boost, Akron just a little too far away

02:41:57.100 --> 02:41:58.260
to go in on the play.

02:41:58.260 --> 02:42:00.260
And we'll send it towards the other end of the field.

02:42:00.260 --> 02:42:02.780
But I think he's facing the wrong way at this point,

02:42:02.780 --> 02:42:06.540
having a hard time getting back on the recovery.

02:42:06.540 --> 02:42:08.660
Samosa, I don't think he's going to be able to do much with this one.

02:42:08.660 --> 02:42:11.300
Well, Lee's muster of 50 with low boost on the side ball

02:42:11.300 --> 02:42:12.700
and a bit of an awkward approach.

02:42:12.700 --> 02:42:15.060
Keelik's, though, he's not going to hesitate on that one.

02:42:15.060 --> 02:42:16.420
The honor thing with no boost in the tank,

02:42:16.420 --> 02:42:17.660
still going to met him for a 50.

02:42:17.660 --> 02:42:20.300
And Doxy, we'll do whatever that is in the corner.

02:42:20.300 --> 02:42:22.060
He's the long boost now, which forces the challenge

02:42:22.060 --> 02:42:23.540
out of both Patty and Samosa.

02:42:23.540 --> 02:42:25.180
Samosa actually rewarded with a demo,

02:42:25.180 --> 02:42:27.100
and that means Keelik's can try to get this off

02:42:27.100 --> 02:42:27.740
the backboard.

02:42:27.740 --> 02:42:29.460
Patty doesn't need the boost, though.

02:42:29.460 --> 02:42:30.780
You'll make the save again.

02:42:30.780 --> 02:42:32.900
Akron in very tough position here.

02:42:32.900 --> 02:42:34.300
Low boost for all of the players.

02:42:34.300 --> 02:42:37.740
And Concord is just suffocating them at the moment.

02:42:37.740 --> 02:42:39.220
Good 50 here by Chris.

02:42:39.220 --> 02:42:41.340
Being Jonathan has just enough boost

02:42:41.340 --> 02:42:43.100
to poke it into the corner.

02:42:43.100 --> 02:42:47.260
Seema's doing all that he may to cross the side of the net.

02:42:47.260 --> 02:42:48.540
But he looks low on truth.

02:42:48.540 --> 02:42:50.740
Can't get this one much closer.

02:42:50.740 --> 02:42:52.740
Still not in the dangerous territory.

02:42:52.740 --> 02:42:54.500
One thing I've noticed out of Concord now

02:42:54.500 --> 02:42:55.940
and back to back series, they're

02:42:55.940 --> 02:42:58.700
just struggling to get this ball clearly

02:42:58.700 --> 02:43:01.100
on the backboard or in front of net

02:43:01.100 --> 02:43:03.740
that they can actually get a nice follow-up opportunity on.

02:43:03.740 --> 02:43:06.020
Every time it's going to a defender

02:43:06.020 --> 02:43:07.620
and it's getting easily deflected away,

02:43:07.620 --> 02:43:11.080
they have to find better and more quality opportunities up

02:43:11.080 --> 02:43:12.100
field.

02:43:12.100 --> 02:43:14.180
There's got to be some sort of connection at this point.

02:43:14.180 --> 02:43:16.060
We know both teams are capable of it.

02:43:16.060 --> 02:43:18.660
What's going to be the thing that breaks open the dam here

02:43:18.660 --> 02:43:21.060
and gives the first goal of game number two?

02:43:21.060 --> 02:43:22.740
I think both teams have had their opportunities.

02:43:22.740 --> 02:43:24.340
We've been critical of the defense that

02:43:24.340 --> 02:43:25.940
has allowed set opportunities on both sides.

02:43:25.940 --> 02:43:27.220
But the offenses are definitely

02:43:27.220 --> 02:43:30.680
starting to find those connections and find more of those spots here and there.

02:43:30.680 --> 02:43:33.920
I don't think this is gonna turn into much of one. Crispy can maybe get a 50

02:43:33.920 --> 02:43:38.200
afterwards, but where's the follow-up from some monsters for Helix? It's

02:43:38.200 --> 02:43:41.200
eventually there, but unfortunately the second man has been demoed, which means

02:43:41.200 --> 02:43:45.000
Jonathan can look for the lead blocker and Patty. Crispy dies and Oxy doesn't

02:43:45.000 --> 02:43:48.000
want to commit. It's an understandable play, but in a make-or-break

02:43:48.000 --> 02:43:51.120
instance like that, you need to be careful because here comes the counter on

02:43:51.120 --> 02:43:55.600
the other end. It's turned away by Oxy yet again, and Concord forced to

02:43:55.600 --> 02:43:59.040
retreat as we hit the final furries here in game two.

02:43:59.040 --> 02:44:02.280
Crispy off the ceiling gets another 50 again.

02:44:02.280 --> 02:44:05.960
Follow-up through by Seamus, and that much more comes from that.

02:44:05.960 --> 02:44:09.400
Felix's floater in midfield, Oxy keeps it close,

02:44:09.400 --> 02:44:12.880
able to deflect it to Jonathan, but quickly well-read.

02:44:12.880 --> 02:44:16.400
Patty lasts back again in the way, defending.

02:44:16.400 --> 02:44:18.720
Jonathan can hold it out to the corner,

02:44:18.720 --> 02:44:20.280
has a little bit of follow-up himself,

02:44:20.280 --> 02:44:21.760
but he's demoed for his effort.

02:44:21.760 --> 02:44:26.160
That both goes straight to Oxie, but has no shot to come from him either.

02:44:26.160 --> 02:44:32.160
Conn has run out for both of these teams, and the only thing we can do in overtime is not to come over to him.

02:44:32.160 --> 02:44:34.960
Are you sure? I don't think we have to go there!

02:44:34.960 --> 02:44:38.160
Last second shot from Conncorden!

02:44:38.160 --> 02:44:40.160
Oh, Yonathan! He didn't know what he was doing!

02:44:40.160 --> 02:44:42.960
Oxie dives at it too! No one's even back!

02:44:42.960 --> 02:44:47.360
And it's a free goal for Conncorden, a game that they absolutely stole!

02:44:47.360 --> 02:44:52.360
Yeah, I don't know what to say. That was um...

02:44:52.360 --> 02:45:04.360
I thought we got rid of the West in CRL. Apparently it's still alive and well and its energy has been embodied by Akron, Gold, and Concord. I don't know what else to say, man.

02:45:04.360 --> 02:45:22.360
I just again truly like what is happening in this series, concord, try and try and try and try and then it all only takes a zero second pressure for them of course to get the goal they need to win game number two.

02:45:22.360 --> 02:45:24.360
I think both of these games

02:45:24.360 --> 02:45:26.360
coming down to the final couple seconds

02:45:26.360 --> 02:45:28.360
just shows how much

02:45:28.360 --> 02:45:30.360
attention and how much focus

02:45:30.360 --> 02:45:32.360
you need in literally every

02:45:32.360 --> 02:45:34.360
second of a five minute game

02:45:34.360 --> 02:45:36.360
of Rocket League. It's another game

02:45:36.360 --> 02:45:38.360
where the thing that it comes down to is

02:45:38.360 --> 02:45:40.360
don't make a mistake.

02:45:40.360 --> 02:45:42.360
It's a sucky thing to say that it's like

02:45:42.360 --> 02:45:44.360
that's what it comes down to but at this level of

02:45:44.360 --> 02:45:46.360
Rocket League you make one mistake and

02:45:46.360 --> 02:45:48.360
it's going to change the outcome of the game, it's

02:45:48.360 --> 02:45:50.360
changed the outcome of the series and that might be the first time I've seen

02:45:50.360 --> 02:45:53.720
Maybe not tilt but a little bit of frustration in the eyes of Akron gold

02:45:53.720 --> 02:45:56.080
I think they know that they had that game maybe not locked

02:45:56.080 --> 02:45:58.160
But it should not have ended the way that it did

02:45:58.360 --> 02:46:01.480
Jonathan when they failed challenge oxy then dives in on the boost

02:46:01.480 --> 02:46:05.840
He doesn't make contact either and that's two players have basically pulled themselves out of the play and go patty

02:46:05.840 --> 02:46:07.480
You got this

02:46:07.480 --> 02:46:13.840
Right right no patty did not have that as a matter of fact and we have a best of three effectively from here on out

02:46:13.840 --> 02:46:18.040
Both teams stealing a game in the first two the only words I have to describe it

02:46:18.040 --> 02:46:21.020
Hopefully we have some more complimentary ones as we continue through the series

02:46:21.620 --> 02:46:26.200
This is the first time as well. I've seen Akring gold look a little bit defeated

02:46:26.920 --> 02:46:31.360
There cams so far pretty energetic generally speaking pretty excited

02:46:31.360 --> 02:46:35.820
But I think it's sinking in that mistakes can happen on both ends of the field

02:46:35.820 --> 02:46:39.680
And now they have to walk in and this one to get back in the series good past

02:46:39.680 --> 02:46:45.360
He done it then but no power behind that shot needed to have more this one dangerous

02:46:45.360 --> 02:46:50.360
Say the Patty sneaks on through after that one isn't pushed away.

02:46:50.360 --> 02:46:55.040
This is more what I want to see from Akron, courageous challenges in the face of what could be in danger.

02:46:55.040 --> 02:46:58.540
There's multiple players back here for Concord, but Patty dies in.

02:46:58.540 --> 02:47:01.740
Oxy gets a couple of good fifties to set him up. That's what we need.

02:47:01.740 --> 02:47:05.440
We need Akron with that very aggressive offense that just stays in your face

02:47:05.440 --> 02:47:08.240
and yells at you to eventually succumb to the pressure.

02:47:08.240 --> 02:47:11.820
That's almost another chance for that. A bit of shenanigans off the kickoff and

02:47:11.820 --> 02:47:15.820
Maybe Concordor can respond, no, a good 50, and Oxie should have the thread out of midfield.

02:47:17.220 --> 02:47:24.220
Should, but would've, and could've, but couldn't, and Yonathan now follows up on the play as he should.

02:47:24.220 --> 02:47:32.220
Honestly, I remember Yonathan being a bit of a demo in Aggressive Demon, and I just haven't seen that out of him today.

02:47:32.220 --> 02:47:39.220
Where are the demos? Where's the aggression? Where is that clean-up, scrappy style out of Yonathan?

02:47:39.220 --> 02:47:46.220
I am expecting that, and I haven't seen it yet, and that's what I want to see out of him. Thank you.

02:47:46.220 --> 02:47:50.220
See, that's not demo play, but what it is, is NIGHT!

02:47:50.220 --> 02:47:54.220
Patty, that's a great pass-out center, just knowing he's got to get this off the backboard far enough away,

02:47:54.220 --> 02:47:58.220
and it's going to force a challenge out of the two defenders there, one in the backboard, one in net.

02:47:58.220 --> 02:48:02.220
And if Patty can get to that one first because of the awkward angle, he's got a whole, or excuse me,

02:48:02.220 --> 02:48:05.220
Jonathan can get there first, he's got a whole goal to shoot upon.

02:48:05.220 --> 02:48:12.260
That's one of the I'd say longest-standing duos in all of collegiate broccoli for those that don't know Jonathan and Patty got recruited from the same

02:48:12.780 --> 02:48:14.300
High school circuits

02:48:14.300 --> 02:48:19.740
The problem is that you also bring in European talent and they do stuff like this. That's a response from Concord a

02:48:20.260 --> 02:48:23.140
Nice shot by Crispy who we called him out a little bit

02:48:23.140 --> 02:48:25.740
And I think since then he's recovered

02:48:25.740 --> 02:48:31.820
But his team has also fallen behind in the momentum aspect of things not used to seeing

02:48:31.820 --> 02:48:36.160
and he looks to make as many mistakes as they've been.

02:48:36.160 --> 02:48:39.760
He looks barely able to put this one away.

02:48:39.760 --> 02:48:44.080
So for now, it'll stay in one goal difference game

02:48:44.080 --> 02:48:46.160
and Yonk then has some boost to work with

02:48:46.160 --> 02:48:47.000
to send this away.

02:48:47.000 --> 02:48:51.640
Patty up again and Seamus crispy back as well

02:48:51.640 --> 02:48:54.480
on the save and we go back to pretty much

02:48:54.480 --> 02:48:56.400
a neutral territory game.

02:48:56.400 --> 02:48:58.440
It was definitely feels like a better game

02:48:58.440 --> 02:48:59.440
from both teams so far.

02:48:59.440 --> 02:49:01.680
I think that the confidence is there from either side

02:49:01.680 --> 02:49:04.080
we're seeing both teams not really shy away from challenges.

02:49:04.080 --> 02:49:06.640
The coordination hasn't necessarily improved as we're still seeing some

02:49:06.640 --> 02:49:08.160
double queues and awkward moments here or there.

02:49:08.160 --> 02:49:11.280
But I think that level of confidence is going to make for a very different game

02:49:11.280 --> 02:49:14.840
where there's just more opportunities and more plays actually connect with one another.

02:49:14.840 --> 02:49:17.520
We talked a lot about passing plays being recorded on either end.

02:49:17.720 --> 02:49:19.240
I don't think we're really seeing that as much here,

02:49:19.240 --> 02:49:21.360
but I also don't think we're seeing the passing plays develop.

02:49:21.640 --> 02:49:23.760
Both teams trying for something here, but right now,

02:49:23.960 --> 02:49:26.280
Concord is trying to escape their half, requires two players

02:49:26.280 --> 02:49:28.840
with challenges out of midfield and Patty barely even flinches.

02:49:28.840 --> 02:49:31.880
Passed back to Patty potentially. He's gonna look to snipe the corner.

02:49:31.880 --> 02:49:36.580
Heal X doesn't even get off the ground there, so just keep himself calm and contained.

02:49:36.580 --> 02:49:41.720
50 though, goes right to the backboard of Concord, and Crispy has to make the save as Yonathan tries to extend the play.

02:49:41.720 --> 02:49:45.780
Another double commit from Crispy and Seymah, so Heal X's last back piece,

02:49:45.780 --> 02:49:51.180
but Patty goes underneath the floor, has a blocker, and Akron Gold gets another.

02:49:51.180 --> 02:49:55.480
Okay, I know Oxi doesn't get credited with the assist here, but this is awesome from him.

02:49:55.480 --> 02:49:59.400
just mid-air collision with Helix. I think initially, who's thinking it might be a pass,

02:49:59.400 --> 02:50:03.560
but as soon as he realizes that he can be set lead blocker, he does not hesitate.

02:50:03.560 --> 02:50:06.840
Fantastic play from Oxy. He won't get the assist on the scoreboard,

02:50:06.840 --> 02:50:09.880
but I'll chalk one up on my stashy. He deserves it for that one.

02:50:09.880 --> 02:50:15.080
Yeah, nice to see someone else. I feel like we haven't said Oxy's name a lot, and

02:50:15.080 --> 02:50:21.640
that's due to him being, of course, new as many new additions and a little bit more quiet in gameplay

02:50:21.640 --> 02:50:23.880
compared to the likes of Paddy and Nonathan.

02:50:23.880 --> 02:50:27.480
So you always have to wonder how all the puzzle pieces fit on the field

02:50:27.480 --> 02:50:30.920
and Asya's done well, being a little bit of an assist maker.

02:50:30.920 --> 02:50:33.960
Although it isn't exactly credited in that play,

02:50:33.960 --> 02:50:36.280
it certainly deserves to be won.

02:50:36.280 --> 02:50:41.000
And now a couple of saves coming on through Concord trying to get back in it.

02:50:41.000 --> 02:50:43.240
But now the passing plays move forward up

02:50:43.240 --> 02:50:46.680
given the transitions ever so fast for Akron.

02:50:46.680 --> 02:50:49.080
I do think that's the biggest thing we're seeing from Akron right now

02:50:49.080 --> 02:50:54.380
It's like we talked about a lack of fear the courage is absolutely there and the speed as a result has absolutely upped itself

02:50:54.380 --> 02:50:57.680
The pace of play completely unrecognizable in comparison the last couple of games

02:50:57.680 --> 02:51:02.980
And that can be something that Concord can take note of trying to get these challenges downfield quickly so they can take advantage

02:51:02.980 --> 02:51:05.860
Of the awkwardness that has been there at moments for Akron

02:51:05.860 --> 02:51:09.340
This could be another awkward moment and crispy shot just goes a little high

02:51:09.340 --> 02:51:14.340
I like the idea of a mid-air passing play, but if it doesn't connect properly, it's not gonna go on target

02:51:14.340 --> 02:51:17.980
It's not gonna make a difference. It is however causing more problems for Akron

02:51:17.980 --> 02:51:24.740
They're sending multiple players at the same ball on multiple occasions, which gives space for Samas to try and get a 50 through, but he cannot.

02:51:24.740 --> 02:51:32.740
Akron, they have the lead right now, but it does feel like Concord, with over a minute to go, could find one good breakaway play and get themselves right back into this.

02:51:32.740 --> 02:51:37.260
Concord is still just taking too long for a lot of their plays to develop.

02:51:37.260 --> 02:51:40.220
Seymour had an opening there but he just took too long.

02:51:40.220 --> 02:51:43.940
Crispy takes the shot but is well read and saved by Jonathan.

02:51:43.940 --> 02:51:46.060
Another drop down the slot!

02:51:46.060 --> 02:51:47.420
So nice!

02:51:47.420 --> 02:51:50.900
Finally executed and fashioned for Concord.

02:51:50.900 --> 02:51:55.460
If you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.

02:51:55.460 --> 02:51:57.620
That's nine shots now to Concord.

02:51:57.620 --> 02:51:59.140
They've only sunk two of them.

02:51:59.140 --> 02:52:03.140
It wouldn't be an agreed score line if not for the other side where Akron has shot.

02:52:03.140 --> 02:52:04.420
Let's make sure I do this correctly.

02:52:04.420 --> 02:52:05.460
13!

02:52:05.460 --> 02:52:06.660
And only nailed three.

02:52:06.660 --> 02:52:09.580
So, yeah, both sides is firing on all cylinders.

02:52:09.580 --> 02:52:11.100
Maybe not every cylinder is hitting,

02:52:11.100 --> 02:52:13.500
but there's still a chance here for Kongborn.

02:52:13.500 --> 02:52:15.540
The offense is absolutely leveled up.

02:52:15.540 --> 02:52:19.100
All they need to do is find one more opportunity to COT.

02:52:19.100 --> 02:52:20.460
Seamus over to Crispy.

02:52:20.460 --> 02:52:22.460
This one doesn't touch the ceiling, though.

02:52:22.460 --> 02:52:25.380
And then, typical Dwarf called down punch.

02:52:25.380 --> 02:52:26.660
Nobody back on defense.

02:52:26.660 --> 02:52:28.660
Seamus almost gets beat and Crispy

02:52:28.660 --> 02:52:30.860
does cut on the rotation and be there.

02:52:30.860 --> 02:52:32.260
Some time for Seamus.

02:52:32.260 --> 02:52:33.900
One on one with Oxy wins the 50,

02:52:33.900 --> 02:52:37.580
Steve a patty there clears it away into the open space.

02:52:37.580 --> 02:52:40.220
He likes sidewall, difficult touchdown,

02:52:40.220 --> 02:52:42.340
another 50 will go towards the corner

02:52:42.340 --> 02:52:44.860
and Seymoss does get the ceiling touch and read.

02:52:44.860 --> 02:52:47.540
Takes his time, bounces it down, flip reset,

02:52:47.540 --> 02:52:49.780
just stalls, follow up here for Crispy

02:52:49.780 --> 02:52:52.820
if he can get there and now it'll come off the sidewall.

02:52:52.820 --> 02:52:55.740
Crispy needs time, Jonathan well read,

02:52:55.740 --> 02:52:59.660
turned by Seymoss, 51 and second left on the clock

02:52:59.660 --> 02:53:02.180
for Concord, can they get one opportunity?

02:53:02.180 --> 02:53:06.820
Touches the ground and Akron Gold steals this one away again.

02:53:06.820 --> 02:53:12.620
Rikimu-san the word steal, I do feel this is probably the most burned victory, if that

02:53:12.620 --> 02:53:14.140
makes sense, for Akron Gold.

02:53:14.140 --> 02:53:17.100
I think the offense looks better, I think the defense looks better, I think all around

02:53:17.100 --> 02:53:20.500
this was an improved game from Akron, and I think the unfortunate part for Domkort

02:53:20.500 --> 02:53:21.860
is I would say the same thing.

02:53:21.860 --> 02:53:24.540
They definitely played a better game, I think the defense was better coordinated,

02:53:24.540 --> 02:53:28.100
I think the offense had more of a punch to a lot of the plays that they were developing.

02:53:28.100 --> 02:53:30.900
I think the unfortunate thing though is there was still some calamity here or

02:53:30.900 --> 02:53:34.000
there that I think Concord just kind of had to give way to

02:53:34.000 --> 02:53:36.060
Akron are forcing these issues, whether it's through

02:53:36.060 --> 02:53:38.300
physicality through their aggressive offense, it just

02:53:38.300 --> 02:53:40.900
stays in your face. They're making it difficult for Concord

02:53:40.900 --> 02:53:42.800
to ever find comfortability. I mean, you look back in the

02:53:42.800 --> 02:53:45.600
replays, this goal starts from a double commit from Concord

02:53:45.600 --> 02:53:47.340
and that was just kind of the game plan for the rest of

02:53:47.340 --> 02:53:53.000
the game. Yeah, I do think, again, adjustments are being

02:53:53.000 --> 02:53:56.500
made as they should be, but there's still a lot of

02:53:56.500 --> 02:53:59.500
sloppiness going on on both sides of the field. And

02:53:59.500 --> 02:54:03.580
And Patty seems very serious there for a second.

02:54:03.580 --> 02:54:10.380
I think again, they are really thinking about and kind of looking at how the series is unfolding

02:54:10.380 --> 02:54:14.780
and needing to figure out how to play against Concord.

02:54:14.780 --> 02:54:17.660
And Concord needs to adjust to Akron Gold as well.

02:54:17.660 --> 02:54:24.100
Akron Gold and Akron Blue are entirely different teams and play style and in makeup and

02:54:24.100 --> 02:54:27.020
mechanicalness, they play entirely differently.

02:54:27.020 --> 02:54:32.540
So that adjustment period for Concord is having to play also differently against a different

02:54:32.540 --> 02:54:35.100
pace team and a different mechanics set.

02:54:35.100 --> 02:54:38.540
It's going to be a very, very tense game number four.

02:54:38.540 --> 02:54:41.780
We talked about this already that neither one of these teams are competing for playoffs

02:54:41.780 --> 02:54:45.580
at the moment, but seeing in LCQ is incredibly important and this is two teams that can

02:54:45.580 --> 02:54:49.140
easily see themselves somewhere in the upper bracket in the finals and anywhere in that

02:54:49.140 --> 02:54:50.140
LCQ.

02:54:50.140 --> 02:54:53.340
So they got to lock in and they got to try to extend the series if you are

02:54:53.340 --> 02:54:54.340
Concord.

02:54:54.340 --> 02:55:02.340
Number four, if they win this one we go to five champions field, but that's a long way away and already the initial shots from Concord are being denied by an Akron defense.

02:55:03.340 --> 02:55:17.340
Oh, here comes Oxy! But unfortunately there was no follow-up by any teammate to be found and that's just another missed opportunity for Akron who's been a little bit afraid to commit upfield when sometimes they just need to go for it.

02:55:17.340 --> 02:55:24.920
This one, Krispy's blocked again, had an open opportunity as that ball snuck out and now was sent Concord back on the board.

02:55:24.920 --> 02:55:30.700
Again, it's another moment of awkwardness there though. Patti immediately goes to follow up his, oh I would say, errant touch off the backboard.

02:55:30.700 --> 02:55:35.860
Oxy goes for it as well. One of the two of them has to call each other off. You double commit like that without a third man back.

02:55:35.860 --> 02:55:43.200
It is a guaranteed goal pretty much every time. And although Yonathan does try to scrape back, good luck trying to win against a full-boost Krispy.

02:55:43.200 --> 02:55:47.660
Good luck trying to win against a concord who are finally starting to find backward plays man

02:55:47.660 --> 02:55:52.380
It's the first link pass from the two of them in like repeat your play that I've seen in a hot moment

02:55:53.940 --> 02:55:59.720
It's just they had to adjust their quality their execution and when those things happen

02:56:00.120 --> 02:56:04.380
Concord is the team that we have mentioned has won champion checks now

02:56:04.380 --> 02:56:10.020
They have to do so consistently across five minutes and we've seen how plays in the final seconds have already

02:56:10.020 --> 02:56:12.460
impact of this series score line.

02:56:12.460 --> 02:56:15.560
So now Concord have a little momentum behind them,

02:56:15.560 --> 02:56:18.760
still trying to get through a couple of shots in place.

02:56:18.760 --> 02:56:22.060
Seymour can use his jump early, can't get back to it,

02:56:22.060 --> 02:56:25.460
and Crispy's touch deflected away by Patty.

02:56:25.460 --> 02:56:27.900
Oxy, after this one early, he's gonna be able to get around.

02:56:27.900 --> 02:56:29.940
He likes me, he's not gonna be able to do much with that ball.

02:56:29.940 --> 02:56:32.580
Yonatan fires on target.

02:56:32.580 --> 02:56:34.180
Two defenders back for Concord.

02:56:34.180 --> 02:56:35.480
I knew there was a lead blocker,

02:56:35.480 --> 02:56:38.420
but I still thought someone would get to this.

02:56:38.420 --> 02:56:42.020
I think it's really there's no challenge that comes off of this ball.

02:56:42.020 --> 02:56:48.500
You often have to attack before that shot is counted as a shot on the score line.

02:56:48.500 --> 02:56:53.220
And a little bit slower to it. We've seen a couple of double commits from Concord defensively.

02:56:53.220 --> 02:56:57.620
Or just two players occupying that same space defensively as well.

02:56:57.620 --> 02:56:59.060
And that's not where you want to be.

02:56:59.060 --> 02:57:02.420
Is this an open net though? And it is off of transition.

02:57:02.420 --> 02:57:06.500
He gets one back after that mistake defensively for Acre.

02:57:06.500 --> 02:57:09.780
That's not where you want to be either if you're Akron unfortunately just kind of

02:57:09.780 --> 02:57:13.540
over committing out of midfield and yes I know we've talked about these somewhat

02:57:13.540 --> 02:57:16.660
shambolic defenses at times throughout this series but if there's one thing that

02:57:16.660 --> 02:57:19.700
you can't do it you can't send the third man without a guaranteed touch to

02:57:19.700 --> 02:57:22.780
resist the counterattack on the other way yes Concord have missed some

02:57:22.780 --> 02:57:25.500
opportunities but they are not missing something like that that's free

02:57:25.500 --> 02:57:28.940
as ever and it could push us to a game number five we've got three minutes

02:57:28.940 --> 02:57:33.580
to go but definitely over vitalized version of Concord here in game four

02:57:33.580 --> 02:57:40.420
Nice to have that buffer goal again in the series, but should never feel too complacent.

02:57:40.420 --> 02:57:45.860
Seamus as Boost has Krispy in midfield, I don't think that's the touch they wanted to

02:57:45.860 --> 02:57:50.660
combine, but the touch will have to take Seamus back on and does get over one kick

02:57:50.660 --> 02:57:54.620
at the bump onto Yannis then, but he looks still there, keeps it on the back wall.

02:57:54.620 --> 02:58:00.220
He will not turn in and instead go back on rotation as Seamus keeps this one close.

02:58:00.220 --> 02:58:05.220
He's Jonathan who already breathed, jumped and sent it straight to Jonathan and I saw him there.

02:58:05.220 --> 02:58:09.220
And carefully the touches need to be a little bit better for Concord.

02:58:09.220 --> 02:58:13.220
Yeah that was a little terrifying. I think everybody kind of knew where that play was going

02:58:13.220 --> 02:58:17.220
and Jonathan kind of, I guess called his bluff to a certain degree said you're not getting this around

02:58:17.220 --> 02:58:20.220
because there's no chance for you to do so and it actually worked out for after now

02:58:20.220 --> 02:58:23.220
because they have the offense in their favor and these are not a fresher.

02:58:23.220 --> 02:58:28.220
A demo should help them but I think that was actually two players from Akron colliding against each other

02:58:28.220 --> 02:58:31.900
more or less end to their attack. This one passed back out to not some moss.

02:58:31.900 --> 02:58:36.060
Crispy's gonna come off. I had no boost in the tank so I don't think he's gonna be able to do much with this one.

02:58:36.060 --> 02:58:38.780
So Crispy will just kind of lurk out of midfield to try and extend the play.

02:58:38.780 --> 02:58:42.060
This one goes to the ceiling and Keelix tries to meet Patty, but instead

02:58:42.060 --> 02:58:45.500
yawing at them with a redirect last second. That is a ripper on target.

02:58:45.500 --> 02:58:48.940
Great play from Crispy to stay heads up, make the save. He's gonna have to do it again.

02:58:48.940 --> 02:58:52.540
One more from Oxi. That's not even on target and Keelix to clear the lanes.

02:58:52.540 --> 02:58:56.880
Helix as well has boost on transition does get the flip here gets over one

02:58:56.880 --> 02:59:02.780
can't find the 50 on Patty and crispy isn't there in time either on the follow-up

02:59:02.780 --> 02:59:07.420
pop up here for oxygen trying to buy time but Seema stays patient pops it

02:59:07.420 --> 02:59:11.820
initially crispy towards the back wall he looks there instead it comes down on

02:59:11.820 --> 02:59:17.220
him and the leaves it for Seema who has a net to shoot on and slot it through

02:59:17.220 --> 02:59:21.380
I feel like Akron just never escape the awkwardness of this play whether

02:59:21.380 --> 02:59:25.420
Whether it's the demos, the mid-air challenges that don't make contact, all of Concord knew

02:59:25.420 --> 02:59:29.160
they had them in a bind at that point, and all they needed to find was an open net, back

02:59:29.160 --> 02:59:32.220
pass perfectly coordinated, great shot on target.

02:59:32.220 --> 02:59:36.460
In Concord they're a minute 20 away from wrapping this one up and moving to game 5.

02:59:36.460 --> 02:59:39.380
We said this would be a close series, we said this was going to go back and forth,

02:59:39.380 --> 02:59:42.660
but it really has been moments of brilliance from both teams, and the defense is really

02:59:42.660 --> 02:59:47.660
struggling to adjust as the offense absolutely improves from game to game.

02:59:47.660 --> 02:59:53.660
Still time though for Akron as they do is they must feel

02:59:53.660 --> 02:59:56.860
Yonathan sends to the side wall trying to get it back to himself

02:59:56.860 --> 02:59:58.860
but well read by Seamus.

02:59:58.860 --> 03:00:02.760
Yonathan on the turn a little too slow to an empati collecting

03:00:02.760 --> 03:00:06.360
in midfield looking for that 50 does get one the deflection

03:00:06.360 --> 03:00:07.760
stays on the side of comfort.

03:00:07.760 --> 03:00:11.360
No bumps come through an oxy too far forward.

03:00:11.360 --> 03:00:13.860
So Yonathan now trying oxy on the bump.

03:00:13.860 --> 03:00:20.360
A little bit of the flick doesn't go on through, and I think that's just a missed opportunity for Akron.

03:00:20.360 --> 03:00:27.160
I like the idea of trying a musty flick. Do I like the execution of it? No, no, not at all.

03:00:27.160 --> 03:00:31.060
However, I do like a lot of what we've seen in this game from both of the teams.

03:00:31.060 --> 03:00:35.360
I think Akron are just having to adjust to Concord, who are really not missing their opportunities in this game.

03:00:35.360 --> 03:00:40.760
And I think Concord were well prepared for the version of Akron that they've been seeing through the latter half of this series.

03:00:40.760 --> 03:00:42.160
So I think we're both teams.

03:00:42.160 --> 03:00:44.260
We're about to get a whirling in game five

03:00:44.260 --> 03:00:46.320
and might just go down as zero classic.

03:00:46.320 --> 03:00:47.800
That will not go down as a mistake,

03:00:47.800 --> 03:00:50.600
even though maybe it should have another goal for the road

03:00:50.600 --> 03:00:52.240
as Samoss finds a cherry pick.

03:00:52.240 --> 03:00:55.800
And yeah, we're definitely heading to Champions field now.

03:00:55.800 --> 03:00:59.160
I think it was both Novata and Taco who were like,

03:00:59.160 --> 03:01:01.040
I totally see this going to game five.

03:01:01.040 --> 03:01:03.080
Well, it's going to game five, guys.

03:01:03.080 --> 03:01:05.920
I don't know who will get into existence,

03:01:05.920 --> 03:01:08.280
but we are going to see game number five

03:01:08.280 --> 03:01:10.840
against these two.

03:01:10.840 --> 03:01:11.400
Yes.

03:01:11.400 --> 03:01:11.820
OK.

03:01:11.820 --> 03:01:14.280
I just have to make sure no last second shenanigans happen.

03:01:14.280 --> 03:01:18.640
But certainly an interesting game to say the least.

03:01:18.640 --> 03:01:20.920
There's been some mistakes out of concourse,

03:01:20.920 --> 03:01:24.640
some mistakes out of affluent opportunities taken,

03:01:24.640 --> 03:01:27.520
clicking, and great execution followed up

03:01:27.520 --> 03:01:28.840
by some softiness.

03:01:28.840 --> 03:01:32.040
So we've seen everything just about in this series.

03:01:32.040 --> 03:01:34.080
And now this is game five, where you truly

03:01:34.080 --> 03:01:36.880
prove who's the better team on the field.

03:01:36.880 --> 03:01:47.520
One big difference in that game versus the rest of the games we've seen in the series, outside of I think Concord probably having the most efficient offense here as they go 4 from 6 across the board is also that four mark 2-1.

03:01:47.520 --> 03:01:53.440
Every other game in this series has been a one goal ball game to the point where in game two we had a zero second goal that literally turned it off.

03:01:53.440 --> 03:01:58.880
That one's a multiple goal margin and I will state as much as we were saying, hey Akron you got a chance to come back.

03:01:58.880 --> 03:02:03.600
I don't know if there was ever a point in that game where I would say that Akron was the better of the two teams.

03:02:03.600 --> 03:02:09.560
I think that offensively and defensively we saw a much more improved version of concord than I don't think the Akron gold team

03:02:09.560 --> 03:02:14.120
Ever leveled up to so my concern now for Akron is that they waited too long

03:02:14.120 --> 03:02:17.480
We talked about them needing to hit the ground running and not be complacent

03:02:17.480 --> 03:02:21.040
I think they might have been and now that they've allowed concord drinks there for a potential

03:02:21.360 --> 03:02:24.800
Good luck shutting them down here and what is going to be the final game definitively?

03:02:24.800 --> 03:02:30.800
I think ultimately Akron looked a little bit lost and they need to not lose

03:02:30.800 --> 03:02:35.340
themselves again in this series. They have to figure out where they need to be

03:02:35.340 --> 03:02:40.600
rotating to be more efficient upfield. A lot of great ideas but maybe a bit too

03:02:40.600 --> 03:02:48.580
risky. Let's see can they clean it up here in game number five. We've had to go

03:02:48.580 --> 03:02:51.700
to Champions field a handful of times here today. It's been nice to see a

03:02:51.700 --> 03:02:56.120
great way to close out the CRL semester on our final broadcast of

03:02:56.120 --> 03:03:01.120
the league play the final time we will see these two teams compete Akron versus

03:03:01.120 --> 03:03:06.040
Concord this is a classic at this point and it's a classic that will not be won

03:03:06.040 --> 03:03:11.240
easily Concord have to wield their way to the first goal after a handful of saves

03:03:11.240 --> 03:03:19.080
nice to see Akron is just you know trying but Concord is also just not

03:03:19.080 --> 03:03:27.760
not giving up in this series because Concord has now been persistent as ever when it comes

03:03:27.760 --> 03:03:32.600
to up-filled presence and getting one early is going to keep up that momentum and confidence

03:03:32.600 --> 03:03:35.520
that we've slowly seen develop out of them this series.

03:03:35.520 --> 03:03:38.280
I feel a little bit for Patty on that one man.

03:03:38.280 --> 03:03:42.920
He dodges the bump, gets the save, looks for a follow-up and his two teammates are nowhere

03:03:42.920 --> 03:03:43.920
to be found.

03:03:43.920 --> 03:03:45.520
Not to state that maybe they should have been there.

03:03:45.520 --> 03:03:49.000
I don't really know where they were in rotation but unfortunately that is going

03:03:49.000 --> 03:03:51.560
They kind of sink the ship and give up the first goal here.

03:03:51.560 --> 03:03:53.000
Zacharine, do you look to respond?

03:03:53.000 --> 03:03:54.480
Yonathan just straight up beats Heelix.

03:03:54.480 --> 03:03:56.200
I don't think he was expecting the follow-up challenge

03:03:56.200 --> 03:03:57.360
in the corner.

03:03:57.360 --> 03:03:59.200
You'd expect a follow-up challenge mid-air here, though.

03:03:59.200 --> 03:04:01.480
That's why Chrisbeats just got taken this one delicately.

03:04:01.480 --> 03:04:02.560
Heelix now to follow up.

03:04:02.560 --> 03:04:03.640
He'll take this to the backboard,

03:04:03.640 --> 03:04:04.840
look for a pinch out center,

03:04:04.840 --> 03:04:07.080
and I'm gonna be real with you, Chicks.

03:04:07.080 --> 03:04:08.760
I kind of feel like that first goal

03:04:08.760 --> 03:04:10.600
has kind of shook Akron Gold to their core.

03:04:10.600 --> 03:04:12.400
They're playing a little bit more hesitantly

03:04:12.400 --> 03:04:15.880
than I've seen throughout this entire series.

03:04:15.880 --> 03:04:18.440
Yeah, I think, again, the biggest word I used earlier

03:04:18.440 --> 03:04:24.220
was lost and I think it's because Concord has had just so much more speed, so much more

03:04:24.220 --> 03:04:29.640
decisive decision making at the end of the day and it's catching Akron Gold off guard.

03:04:29.640 --> 03:04:33.440
They have to make adjustments, they have to match the likes of Concord or they have

03:04:33.440 --> 03:04:38.040
to control the game themselves and I just don't see them taking it within stride and

03:04:38.040 --> 03:04:39.640
controlling it themselves.

03:04:39.640 --> 03:04:44.080
They need to figure out where Concord's going to be and how to go against it.

03:04:44.080 --> 03:04:47.680
We're starting to see two issues arise here for Akron.

03:04:47.680 --> 03:04:50.080
One is the fact that they can't find these follow-up clears.

03:04:50.080 --> 03:04:51.680
The initial save is being made every time,

03:04:51.680 --> 03:04:54.080
but when it comes time for the second man to then clear the line,

03:04:54.080 --> 03:04:56.080
just get it out to midfield, get it out to open space

03:04:56.080 --> 03:04:58.080
to give them some time to recover, it's not happening.

03:04:58.080 --> 03:05:01.080
And the second issue for Akron, his name is Crispy.

03:05:01.080 --> 03:05:04.080
Crispy is a big goal in three games.

03:05:04.080 --> 03:05:07.080
He has absolutely come to life during the back half of this series,

03:05:07.080 --> 03:05:09.080
and they are struggling to shut him down.

03:05:09.080 --> 03:05:12.080
Last game was arguing, but he's still in the lead.

03:05:12.080 --> 03:05:16.800
to shut him down. Last game was arguably his least offensive game because he only scored one goal.

03:05:16.800 --> 03:05:21.120
Oh, but what's that? He gets a playmaker instead. He has three assists. This dude is all over the ball

03:05:21.120 --> 03:05:28.320
in offense and Akron need to find a way to slow him down. That always doesn't matter in Rocket League.

03:05:28.320 --> 03:05:32.160
One of your teammates isn't having a good day because at the end of the day there is three

03:05:32.160 --> 03:05:38.480
of you on the field and you feed the hot hand. You feed who's currently working against

03:05:38.480 --> 03:05:40.640
whatever team you're up against.

03:05:40.640 --> 03:05:42.080
CMOS may have a better day.

03:05:42.080 --> 03:05:44.320
Helix may have a better day against another team.

03:05:44.320 --> 03:05:46.080
But at the end of the day, right now,

03:05:46.080 --> 03:05:48.400
Crispy is doing the best.

03:05:48.400 --> 03:05:52.480
And they have to keep utilizing him as much as possible,

03:05:52.480 --> 03:05:53.920
patting up on this one.

03:05:53.920 --> 03:05:55.840
And Helix does get in the way.

03:05:55.840 --> 03:05:58.640
Crispy knocked the reed that's needed.

03:05:58.640 --> 03:06:00.240
But he'll take some time.

03:06:00.240 --> 03:06:02.640
Grab that one into the 50 as well as CMOS

03:06:02.640 --> 03:06:04.720
will try to get a 50 in a shot of his own.

03:06:04.720 --> 03:06:06.960
But Yonathan does put it off towards the corner.

03:06:06.960 --> 03:06:11.200
I think too heavy of a touch to give away possession on the follow-up.

03:06:11.200 --> 03:06:13.280
They're just not really stringing any of these plays together.

03:06:13.280 --> 03:06:16.800
Another great example is Oxie just kind of pops this one to snowman's land and then uh,

03:06:17.520 --> 03:06:18.800
that's gotta be a gold frag.

03:06:19.520 --> 03:06:24.720
Of course not, they shoot it up high and basically open Ned and Helix comes away with

03:06:24.720 --> 03:06:26.880
a ball as Krispy's not really sure what to do with it either.

03:06:26.880 --> 03:06:30.720
Awkwardness and calamity and yet somehow someway Conk would not only survive,

03:06:30.720 --> 03:06:33.440
they don't concede and almost find another.

03:06:33.440 --> 03:06:35.920
Krispy looking for, I don't know if I called that a pinch,

03:06:35.920 --> 03:06:37.920
I don't know if I called out a shot with a butt of this car.

03:06:37.920 --> 03:06:39.680
I didn't just, it's whatever that was.

03:06:39.680 --> 03:06:42.760
What it is, it's still a 2-0 lead for Concord.

03:06:42.760 --> 03:06:44.120
Akron have had their opportunities

03:06:44.120 --> 03:06:45.920
and they just can't sink any of them.

03:06:45.920 --> 03:06:48.400
Meanwhile, Helix is trying to fire from the side angles

03:06:48.400 --> 03:06:52.040
with zero boost and doing so relatively successfully.

03:06:52.040 --> 03:06:55.160
Right now, Concord's just living in Akron's half.

03:06:55.160 --> 03:06:57.840
They are consistently putting on shot after shot,

03:06:57.840 --> 03:07:00.920
maintaining possession, keeping these touches close.

03:07:00.920 --> 03:07:03.840
Crispy now, the back wall doesn't get the touch,

03:07:03.840 --> 03:07:06.940
but Seamoth does retain control, get back in it.

03:07:06.940 --> 03:07:08.560
Then this one a little bit too hot,

03:07:08.560 --> 03:07:11.400
but we're just going hot potato back and forth

03:07:11.400 --> 03:07:12.800
on the Akron side.

03:07:12.800 --> 03:07:14.920
It has yet to leave this blue half,

03:07:14.920 --> 03:07:16.960
and we are still living there

03:07:16.960 --> 03:07:20.120
as time is slowly trickling down.

03:07:20.120 --> 03:07:21.680
The problem with hot potato is usually

03:07:21.680 --> 03:07:23.160
it's a competition between two teams

03:07:23.160 --> 03:07:25.160
where you don't get caught with a potato at the end.

03:07:25.160 --> 03:07:26.880
One of the two teams is playing hot potato,

03:07:26.880 --> 03:07:27.880
the other one is playing,

03:07:27.880 --> 03:07:29.360
please don't pass me the potato,

03:07:29.360 --> 03:07:30.560
we don't know what to do with it.

03:07:30.560 --> 03:07:32.840
This has been just Akron getting battered

03:07:32.840 --> 03:07:36.720
to their half over and over again and every offense we see from gongor just

03:07:36.720 --> 03:07:40.280
exposes more of their inconsistencies whether it's the inability to clear the

03:07:40.280 --> 03:07:43.880
staff midfield or the inability to transition with any efficiency accurate

03:07:43.880 --> 03:07:46.760
of gotta find a gameplay right now because that's not enough you know that

03:07:46.760 --> 03:07:49.760
you're shooting from the rafters well there's already a player in that that's

03:07:49.760 --> 03:07:54.560
never gonna work yeah that one just isn't tricky enough to catch up guard

03:07:54.560 --> 03:08:00.440
he looks like time doesn't expect that time bumps is on teammate but that's

03:08:00.440 --> 03:08:04.300
Okay, because again you have three players on the field and even when two mess up

03:08:04.300 --> 03:08:12.380
Oh, that's what the third one's for. Seamoth, a little bit of mechanics from the ceiling himself will add on one and right now

03:08:12.380 --> 03:08:15.500
Conqueror's looking pretty good with 29 seconds left.

03:08:15.500 --> 03:08:20.540
I've had my fair share of criticisms for Akron and conceding some of the goals that they've had in the series

03:08:20.540 --> 03:08:23.720
I've got no criticisms. That's just Seamoth popping off man

03:08:23.720 --> 03:08:29.540
The fact he gets back into another reset after just flipping towards the ball hoping to make contact to extend the air dribble

03:08:29.540 --> 03:08:33.540
Yeah, I don't really blame the front man for not making a successful challenge and not find the opportunity.

03:08:33.540 --> 03:08:40.540
I will blame Jonathan if he misses this one. He does not! And with 19 seconds to go, there is life left in Akron.

03:08:40.540 --> 03:08:45.540
I never say never. We have seen crazy things happen.

03:08:45.540 --> 03:08:52.540
I am worried though because Akron hasn't shown together a lot of plays in this game, in particular.

03:08:52.540 --> 03:08:56.540
Kick-optionating ends. Do we see Akron brew up something interesting?

03:08:56.540 --> 03:08:59.240
I know instead of goes to Helix, but there is a demo.

03:08:59.240 --> 03:09:02.640
Patty has Jonathan on the side wall.

03:09:02.640 --> 03:09:03.600
This one popped out.

03:09:03.600 --> 03:09:05.080
Oxy is there.

03:09:05.080 --> 03:09:06.080
Keeps it high.

03:09:06.080 --> 03:09:07.720
Jonathan waiting.

03:09:07.720 --> 03:09:10.600
And this one by Patty doesn't get on target.

03:09:10.600 --> 03:09:13.920
I think time has just run out for Akron.

03:09:13.920 --> 03:09:19.160
Thrilling at five games series Concord does end up taking

03:09:19.160 --> 03:09:20.680
it and trying.

03:09:20.680 --> 03:09:23.200
And again, this is the concern we had walking away

03:09:23.200 --> 03:09:25.680
from game three, which is that it was back and forth.

03:09:25.680 --> 03:09:28.080
Both teams had the opportunity to the first three games,

03:09:28.080 --> 03:09:30.000
but in game four, something changed,

03:09:30.000 --> 03:09:32.040
and it was very clear to see.

03:09:32.040 --> 03:09:34.960
Four goals for Concord, they end up going three to the good

03:09:34.960 --> 03:09:37.560
as only conceding one, and then they only concede one

03:09:37.560 --> 03:09:38.960
in the next one as well.

03:09:38.960 --> 03:09:40.840
Goals conceded through the first three,

03:09:40.840 --> 03:09:42.160
five against Concord.

03:09:42.160 --> 03:09:45.000
Goals conceded the back two, two goals total.

03:09:45.000 --> 03:09:46.200
It's a very different game.

03:09:46.200 --> 03:09:48.040
As soon as Concord cleaned up their defense

03:09:48.040 --> 03:09:49.840
and found the same output on offense,

03:09:49.840 --> 03:09:51.040
they were unstoppable.

03:09:51.040 --> 03:09:57.840
Yeah, I think on court, keep at the right time at the end of the series.

03:09:57.840 --> 03:10:01.440
They did exactly what they needed to to secure the ending wins.

03:10:01.440 --> 03:10:06.520
As you can see the relief on their faces right now, they're certainly excited for

03:10:06.520 --> 03:10:07.520
the victory.

03:10:07.520 --> 03:10:12.200
I think they've struggled a bit, you know, holistically speaking, and it feels good

03:10:12.200 --> 03:10:15.280
to finally get a win.

03:10:15.280 --> 03:10:18.880
Figure things out, have some people peak at the right time.

03:10:18.880 --> 03:10:20.920
Do they have a lot of reflecting to do?

03:10:20.920 --> 03:10:35.080
Yes, ultimately, I think they would look back from the series and see that they came out on top because of that perseverance, but so much of the season still left for them and again, peaking right now is the right time to beat.

03:10:37.160 --> 03:10:45.400
Yeah, this was a, uh, this was definitely the best version we've seen of Concord on stream so far. I hope to see the same version of them in the LCQ.

03:10:45.400 --> 03:10:50.360
Again, neither one of these teams has a chance to change their fate. They're going to go to last chance qualifier guaranteed at this point.

03:10:50.360 --> 03:10:53.300
But I want to see that version of Concord when they get there.

03:10:53.300 --> 03:10:56.140
Heck, I want to see that version of Akron Gold when they get there as well, man.

03:10:56.140 --> 03:10:58.640
That was not a bad game from Akron Gold.

03:10:58.640 --> 03:11:00.540
I think that they played well throughout the series.

03:11:00.540 --> 03:11:06.080
Again, sometimes though, when the lights shine brightest, you can kind of succumb to the pressure.

03:11:06.080 --> 03:11:09.580
I don't want to point fingers, but I think that was probably the worst game we saw at Oxy

03:11:09.580 --> 03:11:12.960
out of the five games that was played, and I don't think it held to the team whatsoever.

03:11:12.960 --> 03:11:16.220
So my hope for Akron Gold is that they can continue to clean up their play

03:11:16.220 --> 03:11:18.960
and they can come into the LSEQ red hot and ready to go.

03:11:18.960 --> 03:11:22.160
Concord, we don't need to question that nor have our concerns.

03:11:22.160 --> 03:11:24.360
We've seen what they can do when they lock in.

03:11:24.360 --> 03:11:27.760
The question is, do we see them again at the LCQ?

03:11:27.760 --> 03:11:29.660
You'll see more of us in just a couple of moments.

03:11:29.660 --> 03:11:34.560
We're gonna head to a quick break when we return our final series of league play here for the broadcast.

03:11:34.560 --> 03:11:36.360
You do not want to miss it.

03:11:48.960 --> 03:12:00.960
I'm sorry, I know this seems so weak to me.

03:12:00.960 --> 03:12:06.960
Fighters and others, in your eyes, running around your head.

03:12:06.960 --> 03:12:14.960
There's a thousand enemies, and there's a fire lighting up the dark.

03:12:14.960 --> 03:12:24.960
I'll be the one you call

03:12:24.960 --> 03:12:32.960
It's only human when the feeling of it comes

03:12:32.960 --> 03:12:36.960
No competing of the drum

03:12:36.960 --> 03:12:38.960
I'll be on you

03:12:38.960 --> 03:12:47.960
It's only human when the feeling of it breaks

03:12:47.960 --> 03:12:51.960
Going deep into the night

03:12:51.960 --> 03:12:54.960
I'll be the one you call

03:12:57.960 --> 03:13:01.960
I'll make you a zero, this is what you want

03:13:05.960 --> 03:13:09.960
I'll be the one you call, I won't let you fall

03:13:12.960 --> 03:13:17.960
I'll make you a zero, this is what you want

03:13:17.960 --> 03:13:24.960
I feel when you're caught in a web watching far

03:13:30.960 --> 03:13:34.960
I know you wonder how it ends

03:13:34.960 --> 03:13:37.960
So that your body can't begin

03:13:37.960 --> 03:13:41.960
Let me be loud and let it in

03:13:41.960 --> 03:13:44.960
Building an army baby

03:13:44.960 --> 03:13:46.960
I'm gonna watch them fall

03:13:46.960 --> 03:13:50.960
And if you need a little wine, it's called

03:13:50.960 --> 03:13:53.960
I'll be the one you call

03:13:53.960 --> 03:13:57.960
Yeah, there's a firelighting on the dark

03:13:57.960 --> 03:14:01.960
We're gonna watch them fall

03:14:01.960 --> 03:14:04.960
And if you need a little wine, it's called

03:14:04.960 --> 03:14:08.960
Yeah, there's a firelighting on the dark

03:14:08.960 --> 03:14:11.960
We're gonna watch them fall

03:14:11.960 --> 03:14:14.160
You need a little one in the car

03:14:14.160 --> 03:14:15.960
I need you

03:14:15.960 --> 03:14:17.960
I'll be the one you call

03:14:17.960 --> 03:14:19.960
Oh, I'm sorry

03:14:19.960 --> 03:14:21.960
It's all on you

03:14:21.960 --> 03:14:25.960
When I'm feeling all the colors

03:14:25.960 --> 03:14:29.960
Like a beat in my mouth to drop

03:14:30.960 --> 03:14:32.960
I'll be the one you call

03:14:32.960 --> 03:14:34.960
Oh, I'm sorry

03:14:34.960 --> 03:14:36.960
It's all on you

03:14:36.960 --> 03:14:40.960
When I'm feeling all the right

03:14:40.960 --> 03:14:44.960
Come take them to the night

03:14:45.960 --> 03:14:48.960
I'll be the one you call

03:14:50.960 --> 03:15:00.960
I'll be the one you call, I'll be the one you call

03:15:00.960 --> 03:15:03.960
I'll never want you far

03:15:33.960 --> 03:15:41.960
Polarized gaze, trying to find my way to you

03:15:41.960 --> 03:15:47.960
Where the space is, colorates this

03:15:47.960 --> 03:15:52.960
You're the feeling that I choose

03:15:52.960 --> 03:15:58.960
I'm tired of running, cause you don't know what's the feeling

03:15:58.960 --> 03:16:03.520
You're disconnected in your touch

03:16:04.520 --> 03:16:06.960
I don't believe it

03:16:06.960 --> 03:16:09.960
It would've seemed

03:16:09.960 --> 03:16:13.960
I'll take the heart like it's too much

03:16:13.960 --> 03:16:16.960
Cause I want you now

03:16:16.960 --> 03:16:19.960
So take a look at me now

03:16:20.960 --> 03:16:24.960
You're the one you're breaking my heart

03:16:24.960 --> 03:16:27.960
Cause I can't change

03:16:27.960 --> 03:16:31.720
Watch your body stand

03:16:31.720 --> 03:16:35.960
Now that your gaze is born and raised

03:16:42.960 --> 03:16:46.960
Now that your gaze is born and raised

03:16:53.960 --> 03:16:56.960
Now that your gaze is born and raised

03:16:57.960 --> 03:17:09.960
I'm a face face, all of your face, and I will have nothing that you can't do

03:17:09.960 --> 03:17:21.960
You're a face face, I'm a face face, and I can't feel the magic you use

03:17:21.960 --> 03:17:23.960
Your turn to run at it

03:17:23.960 --> 03:17:26.960
Cause I lost the feeling

03:17:26.960 --> 03:17:31.960
With this connectin' in our touch

03:17:31.960 --> 03:17:34.960
Can you believe it?

03:17:34.960 --> 03:17:37.960
You wanna see it?

03:17:37.960 --> 03:17:41.960
Or did the hard life get too much?

03:17:41.960 --> 03:17:44.960
Cause you're not here now

03:17:44.960 --> 03:17:47.960
To figure out how

03:17:47.960 --> 03:17:52.960
Cool enough to fire in your eyes

03:17:52.960 --> 03:17:55.960
Cause I can't change it

03:17:55.960 --> 03:17:59.960
Watch your face stand

03:17:59.960 --> 03:18:03.960
Now that your gaze is on your eyes

03:18:10.960 --> 03:18:14.960
Cool enough to fire in your eyes

03:18:44.960 --> 03:18:46.960
I

03:19:44.960 --> 03:19:49.440
We're joined with Samas. Immediately breaking down, oh no, but you know we got basically the whole

03:19:49.840 --> 03:19:54.880
Concord crew looking tough on camera across my arms too. Don't worry to be able to match the vibe. Samas

03:19:54.880 --> 03:20:00.240
Congrats on a game five victory and also pull up clip of the day with the flip into the reset cross map

03:20:00.800 --> 03:20:04.480
Yeah, man always feels good, you know, ending the I think we got one more game after this

03:20:04.480 --> 03:20:09.680
So you know, I always feels good and good to win and we're ready for champs, you know, we're gonna make it there

03:20:10.480 --> 03:20:14.320
Well, I mean, yeah, that skips past a lot of stuff because I was saying you guys are kind of playing for seeding

03:20:14.320 --> 03:20:18.560
you're going to the LCQ. Do you feel like that knowing that you're just playing for seeding at this

03:20:18.560 --> 03:20:22.320
point, do you feel like that takes the pressure off of you to play better or does it really

03:20:22.320 --> 03:20:26.720
actually force you to kind of lock in and make sure you're getting every single win you possibly can?

03:20:26.720 --> 03:20:31.600
I mean I think the only time we had pressure was week one and week two and then after that there

03:20:31.600 --> 03:20:39.760
was no pressure at all. We've had a rough semester but there are some things we could

03:20:39.760 --> 03:20:44.000
We could have control and there's some things we could have controlled, but hey, we live

03:20:44.000 --> 03:20:45.000
and we learn.

03:20:45.000 --> 03:20:48.360
I mean, yeah, that's what's college is all about you living your learn.

03:20:48.360 --> 03:20:51.960
But beyond that, I mean, it's not like really this semester has only been chaotic for you.

03:20:51.960 --> 03:20:54.820
I mean, this has been a crazy semester with a lot of upsets.

03:20:54.820 --> 03:20:56.960
What do you feel like is really fueling that within CRL?

03:20:56.960 --> 03:21:00.160
Do you just feel like everyone's really good or is just everyone really inconsistent?

03:21:00.160 --> 03:21:04.440
I think everyone is just really bad, to be honest.

03:21:04.440 --> 03:21:11.720
not a single team that's scary anymore and that's due to the lack of like just playing the game

03:21:11.720 --> 03:21:14.680
and being good at the game and that's why it's so competitive now.

03:21:15.720 --> 03:21:19.480
I mean we do see some streaky teams but I have to admit there are some teams that are saying like

03:21:19.480 --> 03:21:23.320
hey how do you improve they're like well we've actually really like locked in and like oh so

03:21:23.320 --> 03:21:27.160
you realize you have to actually work for it because yeah we've seen a lot of losses come

03:21:27.160 --> 03:21:30.280
through but at the end of the day I mean there are a lot of things that go into how

03:21:30.280 --> 03:21:34.860
How will you play one thing I have to touch on is you guys were playing almost in pitch dark

03:21:34.900 --> 03:21:36.100
Do you is that the meta?

03:21:36.100 --> 03:21:39.100
And do you feel like you guys play better when the lights are off?

03:21:39.100 --> 03:21:42.860
And you guys are literally only being eliminated by the screen to be honest with you

03:21:42.860 --> 03:21:48.120
We just have we just have no dope where we were just waiting to LCK you and hopefully we get some dope

03:21:49.420 --> 03:21:51.720
We're coming for coming for that scholarship money

03:21:52.980 --> 03:21:55.220
Yes, yeah, you gotta be able to work for the scholarship money

03:21:55.220 --> 03:21:57.780
You don't want any debt leaving college for sure.

03:21:57.780 --> 03:22:00.340
And we also have said, you know, going forward,

03:22:00.340 --> 03:22:01.740
you say you're playing for the LCK,

03:22:01.740 --> 03:22:02.620
you're playing for all that.

03:22:02.620 --> 03:22:04.500
And I'm championing, I know we've been saying for weeks

03:22:04.500 --> 03:22:05.780
that Concord just feels like you guys

03:22:05.780 --> 03:22:07.260
are going to peak at the end of the season.

03:22:07.260 --> 03:22:10.020
And do you feel like there's any team in your path

03:22:10.020 --> 03:22:11.460
that you actively want to avoid?

03:22:11.460 --> 03:22:12.940
Or do you feel like you have a good matchup

03:22:12.940 --> 03:22:15.100
for pretty much anyone on your day?

03:22:15.100 --> 03:22:16.860
I mean, there hasn't been anyone

03:22:16.860 --> 03:22:18.220
we've really struggled against.

03:22:18.220 --> 03:22:20.180
Maybe I guess we struggle against, say,

03:22:20.180 --> 03:22:22.740
Claire week one, but I mean, I just think

03:22:22.740 --> 03:22:24.940
it's just like anyone can win it now.

03:22:24.940 --> 03:22:28.140
And when anyone can win it, that means we're gonna win it.

03:22:28.140 --> 03:22:29.460
All right, and with that said, I mean,

03:22:29.460 --> 03:22:32.060
you said St. Claire was something you struggled with a little bit,

03:22:32.060 --> 03:22:36.180
but also they're playing last match on stream against Davenport.

03:22:36.180 --> 03:22:38.900
Who do you have as a prediction for that Davenport and St. Claire?

03:22:38.900 --> 03:22:40.500
And a must win series for both?

03:22:40.500 --> 03:22:44.580
All I'm gonna say is Zai and Jazzy lost a little step, bros.

03:22:44.580 --> 03:22:47.380
Obviously, they're back.

03:22:47.380 --> 03:22:47.900
You know what?

03:22:47.900 --> 03:22:50.780
That's always gonna be Mark at anyone's career if you lose to Kepp.

03:22:50.780 --> 03:22:51.740
But hey, you know what?

03:22:51.740 --> 03:22:53.020
He made me a better match than Graz Tim.

03:22:53.020 --> 03:22:54.860
And of course, congrats to you guys as well.

03:22:54.860 --> 03:22:57.700
I'm looking forward to you guys and LCKU.

03:22:57.700 --> 03:23:01.380
Any shout outs you guys want to give before we let you get on here tonight?

03:23:01.380 --> 03:23:03.220
Shout out no dope.

03:23:03.220 --> 03:23:05.140
Shout out no dope.

03:23:05.140 --> 03:23:05.780
All right.

03:23:05.780 --> 03:23:06.500
Excellent, Samas.

03:23:06.500 --> 03:23:07.340
Thank you so much.

03:23:07.340 --> 03:23:09.340
See you, the boys, and have a good rest of your night.

03:23:09.340 --> 03:23:09.940
Thank you, guys.

03:23:09.940 --> 03:23:12.180
Thank you.

03:23:12.180 --> 03:23:13.140
Oh, boy.

03:23:13.140 --> 03:23:15.620
Concord team full of characters in the best possible way.

03:23:15.620 --> 03:23:18.860
And also, a lot of highlights always keep things interesting.

03:23:18.860 --> 03:23:20.060
Have no idea what they're talking about.

03:23:20.060 --> 03:23:20.380
Dope.

03:23:20.380 --> 03:23:20.820
What dope?

03:23:20.820 --> 03:23:22.020
Slide dope, and it's cool.

03:23:22.020 --> 03:23:24.820
Must be five degrees below zero in that room, though.

03:23:24.820 --> 03:23:26.500
You know what you had on?

03:23:26.500 --> 03:23:28.500
That was the six different layers.

03:23:28.500 --> 03:23:31.380
Anyway, that said, they had a challenge today.

03:23:31.380 --> 03:23:33.020
They're another playing for pride play

03:23:33.020 --> 03:23:35.620
and they could believe two expertise at the same time.

03:23:35.620 --> 03:23:37.820
Taco, they got it done from your vantage point.

03:23:37.820 --> 03:23:39.860
What was their key to their victory?

03:23:39.860 --> 03:23:41.820
I mean, honestly, watching a lot of that through

03:23:41.820 --> 03:23:44.260
is just a Concord being able to enter that flow state

03:23:44.260 --> 03:23:45.820
of just being able to trust their game play.

03:23:45.820 --> 03:23:47.860
I feel like I like Concord when they're just playing

03:23:47.860 --> 03:23:50.180
natural, when they're not really pressuring themselves.

03:23:50.180 --> 03:23:52.380
I think the problem is you can kind of tell

03:23:52.380 --> 03:23:53.980
they are a little bit goofing around.

03:23:53.980 --> 03:24:00.960
they were giving away some silly ones but ultimately when they really lock in they're a terrifying team because it does look really effortless from them you forget just

03:24:00.960 --> 03:24:07.780
How good these players are kind of like this that is such a filthy reset by Samas on the reset going forward cross-map

03:24:07.780 --> 03:24:13.540
So I think it's a shame this team has such a bad record by their own standards and by their own admission

03:24:13.540 --> 03:24:19.100
But it also shows that even teams that have a losing record are still some of the very best on this entire

03:24:19.100 --> 03:24:24.300
continent at the collegiate level. They're so talented. They just need one good series and they can beat anyone.

03:24:24.300 --> 03:24:28.060
Yeah, BD everyone seems to be the super sure right. No team is scaring this

03:24:28.060 --> 03:24:32.060
power phase and what they said. As we're getting more results piling in today on

03:24:32.060 --> 03:24:35.500
today's I don't know it's gonna be called officially decision day or survival Sunday.

03:24:35.500 --> 03:24:40.700
Baylor 3-1 Akron blue second Baylor win on the day to keep them in the

03:24:40.700 --> 03:24:46.220
running for that ever so highly coveted top four position. I don't want to

03:24:46.220 --> 03:24:48.460
to ask you to do his prediction so far.

03:24:48.460 --> 03:24:51.940
But has Baylor given themselves the best chance thus far?

03:24:51.940 --> 03:24:53.700
No, if Baylor gave themselves the best chance,

03:24:53.700 --> 03:24:56.020
they wouldn't have lost earlier in the season.

03:24:56.020 --> 03:24:58.340
They got a great chance, but I'm just, I don't know, man.

03:24:58.340 --> 03:24:59.500
I think for a lot of these teams,

03:24:59.500 --> 03:25:00.980
I think even for the ones that we just mentioned,

03:25:00.980 --> 03:25:02.700
talking about Akron, Blue and Concord,

03:25:02.700 --> 03:25:03.940
there are multiple teams that I think

03:25:03.940 --> 03:25:05.380
just didn't hit the ground running.

03:25:05.380 --> 03:25:08.580
They started off, unfortunately, far too slow,

03:25:08.580 --> 03:25:09.980
and these are the consequences of it,

03:25:09.980 --> 03:25:11.660
which is that I think Baylor or team that

03:25:11.660 --> 03:25:14.020
probably should have also only taken four losses

03:25:14.020 --> 03:25:15.100
throughout the semester.

03:25:15.100 --> 03:25:19.060
They're taking a couple of silly ones, and I think it's come back to bite them, and I think now it's kind of, you know,

03:25:19.060 --> 03:25:28.780
the fate is no longer in their hands in the best way possible, because St. Clair here, if they win this one, the threshold at minimum is 5 losses max.

03:25:28.780 --> 03:25:32.840
If all of a sudden, Baylor loses another game, they are automatically out of that, so,

03:25:32.840 --> 03:25:35.600
things are getting interesting here, but also at the same time, man.

03:25:35.600 --> 03:25:44.460
Devin Porter are actually doing it. It's kind of crazy, but they're like actually keeping themselves in here to where there is not an unrealistic world that they make it into playoffs.

03:25:44.460 --> 03:25:46.820
Yeah, Davenport supporters must be filling it right now.

03:25:46.820 --> 03:25:47.580
But let's get into it.

03:25:47.580 --> 03:25:51.580
Our last match of the evening is going to be featuring St. Clair

03:25:51.580 --> 03:25:53.660
against that Davenport squad.

03:25:53.660 --> 03:25:56.660
Both teams are in the running through that fourth spot.

03:25:56.660 --> 03:25:59.580
If you can believe it, shout out to parody, y'all.

03:25:59.580 --> 03:26:01.180
Let's take a look at these lineups.

03:26:01.180 --> 03:26:03.620
Some of the up our stars we've seen on stream before.

03:26:03.620 --> 03:26:04.820
It's kind of like an all-star game.

03:26:04.820 --> 03:26:06.340
If you really love putting pressure,

03:26:06.340 --> 03:26:08.260
just inside and bash against both of you.

03:26:08.260 --> 03:26:11.260
And ham and talk on the way back to you on this one.

03:26:11.260 --> 03:26:13.540
St. Clair and Davenport both have a chance

03:26:13.540 --> 03:26:15.100
You really punch your own tickets here.

03:26:15.100 --> 03:26:17.500
What are you thinking about the chances?

03:26:17.500 --> 03:26:20.220
We've had this schedule change so much throughout the week

03:26:20.220 --> 03:26:21.900
because we had a lot of players had to drop out

03:26:21.900 --> 03:26:23.380
or we had teams not be available.

03:26:23.380 --> 03:26:24.780
And when I finally saw the schedule

03:26:24.780 --> 03:26:28.180
and I saw this one on as our final kind of marquee matchup,

03:26:28.180 --> 03:26:31.580
I was hyped because this is such a crazy storyline

03:26:31.580 --> 03:26:34.620
for both Sankler starting the season, nearly untouchable,

03:26:34.620 --> 03:26:36.860
almost unanimous saying their number one seed again.

03:26:36.860 --> 03:26:37.900
And then they kind of fell off

03:26:37.900 --> 03:26:40.260
whereas Davenport started the season somewhat middling

03:26:40.260 --> 03:26:43.300
and then it's gotten upset after upset after upset

03:26:43.300 --> 03:26:45.700
to the point where I don't even think you can say it's an upset.

03:26:45.700 --> 03:26:46.900
They're just playing really well.

03:26:46.900 --> 03:26:48.180
They've tapped into a great form,

03:26:48.180 --> 03:26:51.140
and now it's just a match up of really who can lock in

03:26:51.140 --> 03:26:54.180
on a series that will define their top four chances.

03:26:54.180 --> 03:26:55.700
Davenport unbelievably still in the hunt,

03:26:55.700 --> 03:26:58.860
and St. Clair are back to back defending CRL,

03:26:58.860 --> 03:27:01.300
semester champions are still in that hunt,

03:27:01.300 --> 03:27:02.580
and they really have to fight for it

03:27:02.580 --> 03:27:04.500
because they have been caught up with.

03:27:04.500 --> 03:27:07.660
Does some of that locking in has to be the thing today?

03:27:07.660 --> 03:27:08.940
Just let me ask you this, man.

03:27:08.940 --> 03:27:13.220
We've seen flashes of brilliance from Jazzy and Psy.

03:27:13.220 --> 03:27:16.580
Do you think they can find a way to really hit that meta team

03:27:16.580 --> 03:27:20.700
chem needs to be almost flawless here to get the dump?

03:27:20.700 --> 03:27:22.420
You know, I think at this point in the season,

03:27:22.420 --> 03:27:25.300
we've seen mistakes happen even out of the best players.

03:27:25.300 --> 03:27:27.940
And we've seen teams like Davenport

03:27:27.940 --> 03:27:30.060
that have kind of back loaded their schedule

03:27:30.060 --> 03:27:31.060
to have all the games.

03:27:31.060 --> 03:27:34.260
They've already won a very dominant game today.

03:27:34.260 --> 03:27:38.300
And now they're looking to be kind of a dark horse story

03:27:38.300 --> 03:27:39.860
that comes through at the end of the day.

03:27:39.860 --> 03:27:42.540
You just can't underestimate anybody.

03:27:42.540 --> 03:27:47.540
I think the better team on

03:27:47.540 --> 03:27:50.540
paper at side, Jazzy Vich have

03:27:50.540 --> 03:27:52.540
so much experience behind them,

03:27:52.540 --> 03:27:54.540
have all the medals to work with.

03:27:54.540 --> 03:27:56.540
Davenport, I don't think was even

03:27:56.540 --> 03:27:59.540
in this situation in conversation

03:27:59.540 --> 03:28:01.540
until we really looked at it

03:28:01.540 --> 03:28:03.540
today and said, Wow, they're

03:28:03.540 --> 03:28:04.540
starting to upset teams.

03:28:04.540 --> 03:28:05.540
Wow, they haven't played them.

03:28:05.540 --> 03:28:07.540
Wow, they're winning.

03:28:07.540 --> 03:28:09.540
They are winning and it's now

03:28:09.540 --> 03:28:10.540
become a little bit of an

03:28:10.540 --> 03:28:15.540
scenario where if you catch the end of this week five,

03:28:16.280 --> 03:28:19.740
the last bit of league play and get caught off guard,

03:28:19.740 --> 03:28:20.940
then you may be in a scenario

03:28:20.940 --> 03:28:23.380
where you're a lower C than anticipated.

03:28:24.420 --> 03:28:26.580
I guess this next question is for the champ league

03:28:26.580 --> 03:28:29.060
representatives in the room, both Bass and Taco.

03:28:29.060 --> 03:28:31.020
You know, you talk about this season

03:28:31.020 --> 03:28:33.180
or this semester of College Rock League,

03:28:33.180 --> 03:28:35.300
Sierra Leagues being like top to turf,

03:28:35.300 --> 03:28:37.660
any given Sunday, any given qualifier,

03:28:37.660 --> 03:28:40.100
any given event, 3B3 open,

03:28:40.100 --> 03:28:41.660
And they can go anyone's way.

03:28:41.660 --> 03:28:43.940
And I think we're seeing some of that results now

03:28:43.940 --> 03:28:46.660
because the last, particularly the week of the league play,

03:28:46.660 --> 03:28:48.860
there's so many schools are in the running

03:28:48.860 --> 03:28:50.380
for that coveted fourth spot.

03:28:50.380 --> 03:28:52.260
I mean, what's been your take thus far

03:28:52.260 --> 03:28:54.660
about how CRL has evolved as a league?

03:28:55.700 --> 03:28:58.540
I think this is, again, the ultimate goal for CRL

03:28:58.540 --> 03:28:59.380
is we want this.

03:28:59.380 --> 03:29:00.700
We want this level of parity

03:29:00.700 --> 03:29:03.820
of where every single team is never a guaranteed win.

03:29:03.820 --> 03:29:05.900
I don't want to go back to the days

03:29:05.900 --> 03:29:08.820
where Northwood, Boise State, Columbia, UNLV

03:29:08.820 --> 03:29:12.600
which is kind of run their divisions and there's not 18 who can dodge them.

03:29:12.600 --> 03:29:13.600
This is what we want.

03:29:13.600 --> 03:29:19.480
I want to have the champions of last semester come in here and be threatened by a team that

03:29:19.480 --> 03:29:22.380
wasn't on the radar to start the semester.

03:29:22.380 --> 03:29:25.940
We did a ranking where we said, hey, you know, here are the teams that are contenders,

03:29:25.940 --> 03:29:28.800
or like the guarantee supply option, the teams that are contenders, here are the teams

03:29:28.800 --> 03:29:32.300
that can compete, and then we had a good luck category of like, hey, good luck in

03:29:32.300 --> 03:29:34.340
the semester, I don't think you're going to do much.

03:29:34.340 --> 03:29:37.800
I'm pretty sure Davenport was either at the good luck tier or a little bit above

03:29:37.800 --> 03:29:38.800
that.

03:29:38.800 --> 03:29:43.080
They are here now with a very real chance of making a playoffs. This is what we've always wanted

03:29:43.080 --> 03:29:46.840
This is what makes you all great if this is your first time in the CRO welcome

03:29:46.840 --> 03:29:50.080
We hope you stick around for many more semesters to come it is always this entertaining

03:29:50.080 --> 03:29:54.080
Yeah, I love when you make a list and rankings because you always get dragged when you miss

03:29:58.280 --> 03:30:01.800
Let's get right into it both teams you get ready on the pitch right now

03:30:01.800 --> 03:30:07.360
So it's time for predictions chicks. That's the last matchup of the evening. Who do you got going in?

03:30:07.360 --> 03:30:10.160
Yeah, I don't think I've ever been so

03:30:10.160 --> 03:30:12.640
unconfident when it comes to predictions,

03:30:12.640 --> 03:30:14.240
especially this season.

03:30:14.240 --> 03:30:18.880
I'm going with St. Clair just purely off of history,

03:30:18.880 --> 03:30:22.880
off of chemistry, off of I know this team a lot better.

03:30:22.880 --> 03:30:25.280
Am I confident? No, I'm really not,

03:30:25.280 --> 03:30:27.680
but I have to pick at the end of the day

03:30:27.680 --> 03:30:30.480
and for now St. Clair has shown themselves,

03:30:30.480 --> 03:30:32.080
improved themselves before.

03:30:32.080 --> 03:30:34.080
Gavin Port, please prove me wrong.

03:30:34.960 --> 03:30:36.480
It has kind of messed up a big big,

03:30:36.480 --> 03:30:38.820
You can't be like, let's make sure both teams have fun.

03:30:38.820 --> 03:30:40.820
I know you're just saying it.

03:30:40.820 --> 03:30:43.700
That's not what I'm smiling about, yeah.

03:30:43.700 --> 03:30:47.060
I think for me, I was back and forth on this one,

03:30:47.060 --> 03:30:49.100
and I'm kind of done doubting Davenport.

03:30:49.100 --> 03:30:49.940
I think they got it.

03:30:49.940 --> 03:30:50.940
I think they figured it out.

03:30:50.940 --> 03:30:52.500
I think they're in the sauce.

03:30:52.500 --> 03:30:55.060
And right now, it's all been down to Volte.

03:30:55.060 --> 03:30:57.100
When they got those wins, I was saying, OK, Volte's

03:30:57.100 --> 03:30:58.140
always been the player that I feel

03:30:58.140 --> 03:30:59.740
like he's trying to find his space.

03:30:59.740 --> 03:31:01.420
But I watch back those upsets

03:31:01.420 --> 03:31:03.380
that they had earlier in the season against Maryville,

03:31:03.380 --> 03:31:05.660
up against Baylor, and they looked locked in.

03:31:05.660 --> 03:31:07.620
So I'm just going to say I think Dan Ford's got it.

03:31:07.620 --> 03:31:10.700
I think St. Clair, maybe not truly believing in what Smaugh said,

03:31:10.700 --> 03:31:12.220
but they've lost it a little bit.

03:31:12.220 --> 03:31:15.740
So I and Jazzy, they're not necessarily Thanos like they haven't been earlier this season.

03:31:15.740 --> 03:31:17.300
So I'm going to give it Dan Ford,

03:31:17.300 --> 03:31:19.620
although I do think this is going to be close just like all the matches

03:31:19.620 --> 03:31:20.820
we've had on stream today.

03:31:20.820 --> 03:31:23.580
Don't name for a team, not necessarily Thanos.

03:31:24.420 --> 03:31:26.380
Best ones say you.

03:31:26.380 --> 03:31:28.260
I say I disagree.

03:31:28.780 --> 03:31:31.020
Look, I got I got love for Davenport.

03:31:31.020 --> 03:31:34.260
Shanners and chat just poking and broadening at me this entire time.

03:31:34.260 --> 03:31:36.260
I don't think I've ever had a person respond to me more often

03:31:36.540 --> 03:31:42.880
However that being said, Shate you also told me you were done coaching this team and your own players said that you guys were barely

03:31:42.880 --> 03:31:49.500
Screaming and not practicing. You have trolled me 18 times this semester. I'm not gonna give you my support until you prove

03:31:49.500 --> 03:31:54.200
Otherwise, I'm sticking with saying Claire man. Thank one last semester. They are one of the best teams in the nation

03:31:54.200 --> 03:31:59.480
I don't care that they lost RG because guess what you had fish it's fish dude

03:31:59.480 --> 03:32:05.160
He was supposed to be on the same roster the only reason he wasn't is he had complications otherwise this guy would have stayed on this main

03:32:05.160 --> 03:32:08.240
Raw 3 would have been here look I got love for Davenport, but um

03:32:08.880 --> 03:32:14.680
They haven't given me definitive answer all season and if they even have a coach apparently he's here today, so I guess so

03:32:15.760 --> 03:32:17.760
Wow

03:32:18.200 --> 03:32:21.320
You have it I I too are going to say clam

03:32:21.320 --> 03:32:24.720
I wouldn't be as nice as possible make sure your hate goes to fast without me

03:32:24.720 --> 03:32:26.720
Look, I'm in the whole spot.

03:32:26.720 --> 03:32:27.720
Gotta give up the set.

03:32:27.720 --> 03:32:28.720
You know what I'm saying?

03:32:28.720 --> 03:32:29.720
St. Clair all day.

03:32:29.720 --> 03:32:30.720
How will it adapt for Canadians?

03:32:30.720 --> 03:32:31.720
I do think they're a bit faster.

03:32:31.720 --> 03:32:33.720
I do think they're a bit more impressive.

03:32:33.720 --> 03:32:36.720
I gotta go with the North.

03:32:36.720 --> 03:32:37.720
But you know what?

03:32:37.720 --> 03:32:39.720
It's show time.

03:32:39.720 --> 03:32:41.720
We have to get to that pitch right now.

03:32:41.720 --> 03:32:44.720
It is Davenport against St. Clair.

03:32:44.720 --> 03:32:46.720
That last matchup of the night.

03:32:46.720 --> 03:32:48.720
I'm not gonna believe in luck,

03:32:48.720 --> 03:32:50.720
but I'm all about destiny.

03:32:50.720 --> 03:32:52.720
Both teams have a chance to shake their own tonight.

03:32:52.720 --> 03:32:54.520
tonight, can they get it done?

03:32:54.520 --> 03:32:56.920
They're about to find out five games or less,

03:32:56.920 --> 03:32:58.840
so let's get to it.

03:33:01.960 --> 03:33:05.200
Both these teams have so much to play for,

03:33:05.200 --> 03:33:08.520
but of course, that's exactly how we like it here in CRL.

03:33:08.520 --> 03:33:11.680
Davenport, a team that we have doubted for semester.

03:33:11.680 --> 03:33:14.120
After semester, when are you gonna get it together?

03:33:14.120 --> 03:33:16.240
When are you gonna be like your big brother's

03:33:16.240 --> 03:33:17.200
safe player?

03:33:17.200 --> 03:33:20.120
Well, maybe it's right now, Bass.

03:33:20.120 --> 03:33:22.520
This is the type of matchup we look forward to,

03:33:22.520 --> 03:33:25.120
and this is exactly how you close out at night.

03:33:25.120 --> 03:33:26.160
This is what we want.

03:33:26.160 --> 03:33:28.320
All the stakes in the world here,

03:33:28.320 --> 03:33:31.760
as Davenport have a chance to keep themselves in contention

03:33:31.760 --> 03:33:34.000
and St. Clair can set the floor.

03:33:34.000 --> 03:33:36.320
If they lose this, there's a world

03:33:36.320 --> 03:33:39.720
where you can maybe have a team sneak in with six losses.

03:33:39.720 --> 03:33:41.640
However, conceding a kickoff goal

03:33:41.640 --> 03:33:43.160
is not gonna help you get there.

03:33:43.160 --> 03:33:44.440
This is always one of those fun moments

03:33:44.440 --> 03:33:45.560
when I predict a team and I'm like,

03:33:45.560 --> 03:33:46.400
I think they're gonna do it.

03:33:46.400 --> 03:33:48.360
And then five seconds and they get scored on,

03:33:48.360 --> 03:33:49.200
you're like, all right, buddy,

03:33:49.200 --> 03:33:50.040
just don't do me like this.

03:33:50.040 --> 03:33:52.320
I'm trying to, at least give me a couple more seconds

03:33:52.320 --> 03:33:54.600
of a little bit more back and forth, but hey, you know,

03:33:54.600 --> 03:33:56.100
I'm just going to write it up, just kick off full,

03:33:56.100 --> 03:33:58.480
let's assume that everything gets back to normal.

03:33:58.480 --> 03:34:00.600
One thing, if you guys are under an issue to Davenport,

03:34:00.600 --> 03:34:02.080
they're high flying, they're pre-jumping,

03:34:02.080 --> 03:34:04.680
they're always in the mix on offense,

03:34:04.680 --> 03:34:06.320
just maybe not that time.

03:34:06.320 --> 03:34:08.000
They're always in offense.

03:34:08.000 --> 03:34:10.840
The shot's going on target, and the debate,

03:34:10.840 --> 03:34:12.840
made debatable, maybe it needs to be seen.

03:34:12.840 --> 03:34:14.440
However, through the first minute or so,

03:34:14.440 --> 03:34:16.880
we're seeing both teams exchange blows on either end.

03:34:16.880 --> 03:34:18.600
I'd like to see that all of Davenport

03:34:18.600 --> 03:34:22.000
are not going to back away after the initial challenge is.

03:34:22.000 --> 03:34:24.360
Oh, I've heard Sinclair track something here.

03:34:24.360 --> 03:34:26.800
Cy looking for the dunk can't get around both.

03:34:26.800 --> 03:34:30.240
He get back for defense, which as he rips on another way

03:34:30.240 --> 03:34:33.960
to precision through the eye of a needle, brother.

03:34:33.960 --> 03:34:35.400
What is that?

03:34:35.400 --> 03:34:36.760
And it's a hard drop they should read

03:34:36.760 --> 03:34:38.600
because he has to pre-flip this one

03:34:38.600 --> 03:34:40.320
and then perfectly hits that one.

03:34:40.320 --> 03:34:41.120
You can tell.

03:34:41.120 --> 03:34:43.360
I mean, Cam, he's got thousands and thousands of hours,

03:34:43.360 --> 03:34:45.640
and he didn't even jump because he was so confident

03:34:45.640 --> 03:34:46.640
that that was not going in.

03:34:46.640 --> 03:34:48.600
Or maybe he just gave up because he says, well,

03:34:48.600 --> 03:34:50.560
you can't snipe it any better than that.

03:34:50.560 --> 03:34:59.560
St. Clair looking like they're coming for that fourth spot in playoffs looking elite on offense and also a brave just dive it on forward and then

03:34:59.560 --> 03:35:06.560
getting the big challenge to seal that boost away. I think the big thing we've talked about with St. Clair is that obviously when you said you know oh there's been a bit of a fall off

03:35:06.560 --> 03:35:11.560
for this team they're not quite the same maybe not caliber but expectations is what we saw at the beginning of the semester.

03:35:11.560 --> 03:35:17.560
Need I remind people the only reason that that has happened is because they've only lost to the top four teams in collegiate broccoli.

03:35:17.560 --> 03:35:19.560
They haven't taken any egregious losses.

03:35:19.560 --> 03:35:21.560
They haven't played poorly at any moment.

03:35:21.560 --> 03:35:25.560
They just haven't necessarily stepped up to the very best that we have seen in Rock League.

03:35:25.560 --> 03:35:29.560
But again, that's kind of something we've seen through all of our top teams.

03:35:29.560 --> 03:35:31.560
No one's been perfect. No one's been infallible.

03:35:31.560 --> 03:35:35.560
And I think the St. Clair roster is kind of, you know, being maybe not disrespected,

03:35:35.560 --> 03:35:39.560
but definitely not being given the respect that they deserve through the back half of this season.

03:35:39.560 --> 03:35:41.560
If they show up here today and just kind of put on a clinic,

03:35:41.560 --> 03:35:44.560
I think they're going to re-earn that respect and they're doing so already.

03:35:44.560 --> 03:35:46.560
That's three goals in a minute and a half.

03:35:46.560 --> 03:35:50.740
half. I was getting a flashback to the very first week of CRL where Vash was coming in

03:35:50.740 --> 03:35:53.740
and saying, well, you're a play-as-nard, dude. That's a lot to ask for. And then he was just

03:35:53.740 --> 03:35:58.120
a lights out shooter. And right now, that seems to be the case 100% so far off of two

03:35:58.120 --> 03:36:03.480
shots. And right now, propelling, saying, Claire, up and above, they are looking lethal

03:36:03.480 --> 03:36:06.580
on every single touch going forward. And that's exactly the same thing. You do

03:36:06.580 --> 03:36:10.480
not want to be against here when you're trying to fight for your playoff life like

03:36:10.480 --> 03:36:11.480
Davenport is.

03:36:11.480 --> 03:36:14.540
And the problem is, is that it's not even like Davenport's playing poorly and

03:36:14.540 --> 03:36:15.840
like all of a sudden they're making mistakes.

03:36:15.840 --> 03:36:18.120
It's literally just St. Clair or like peeking.

03:36:18.120 --> 03:36:19.920
But again, every shot they have taken

03:36:19.920 --> 03:36:21.420
has been of the utmost precision.

03:36:21.420 --> 03:36:24.580
They have had an incredibly efficient offense so far.

03:36:24.580 --> 03:36:27.020
And they've got three goals on five shots.

03:36:27.020 --> 03:36:28.620
So even if the goal doesn't sink,

03:36:28.620 --> 03:36:29.820
they're putting something threatening

03:36:29.820 --> 03:36:31.500
that makes your defense work for it.

03:36:31.500 --> 03:36:33.220
Speaking of which, you're gonna have to work to save this one

03:36:33.220 --> 03:36:34.060
off the ceiling.

03:36:34.060 --> 03:36:35.140
Both of you will make the read.

03:36:35.140 --> 03:36:37.140
Here comes Jazzy to keep the pressure going.

03:36:37.140 --> 03:36:39.340
That's an awkward challenge that'll pass itself out

03:36:39.340 --> 03:36:42.400
to midfield where almost Vesh gets another touch

03:36:42.400 --> 03:36:43.400
to his teammate.

03:36:43.400 --> 03:36:45.160
Still maybe has Jazzy in the opposite corner.

03:36:45.160 --> 03:36:46.960
Brock's going to hunt this one down and look for booze,

03:36:46.960 --> 03:36:47.560
but he's doing so.

03:36:47.560 --> 03:36:49.720
He gives a lane that Jazzy can get it out center.

03:36:49.720 --> 03:36:52.560
Here comes Ves shot, not on target, a nine by Cam.

03:36:52.560 --> 03:36:54.520
And finally, we're starting to see some more resistance

03:36:54.520 --> 03:36:55.280
out of Davenport.

03:36:55.280 --> 03:36:58.320
The only problem is they're still down by three goals.

03:36:58.320 --> 03:37:00.840
And unbelievably, we just hit half time in this game.

03:37:00.840 --> 03:37:02.360
It feels like it's not really flying by.

03:37:02.360 --> 03:37:03.640
In fact, it's crawling.

03:37:03.640 --> 03:37:05.000
Just hoping that Davenport can maybe

03:37:05.000 --> 03:37:06.240
get something on the board.

03:37:06.240 --> 03:37:08.040
But right now, it seems like the midfield defense

03:37:08.040 --> 03:37:10.160
is good as the goal line defense.

03:37:10.160 --> 03:37:11.720
Cam thinks twice about that one.

03:37:11.720 --> 03:37:14.680
Maybe that's a mistake as Vash has a reset in the back pocket,

03:37:14.680 --> 03:37:16.600
but challenge comes at the right time.

03:37:16.600 --> 03:37:19.700
So no further damage quite yet from St. Clair,

03:37:19.700 --> 03:37:23.760
although Jazzy will just watch as Si will lob one straight down the middle.

03:37:23.760 --> 03:37:25.680
Now the counter to Cam off the post,

03:37:25.680 --> 03:37:29.040
Balty a media follow through and finally something on the board.

03:37:29.040 --> 03:37:30.600
You're never going to keep him out forever.

03:37:30.600 --> 03:37:33.600
And they finally do find some life here in game number one.

03:37:33.600 --> 03:37:35.240
It's a great shot from Cam,

03:37:35.240 --> 03:37:37.880
as much as it may seem like a mis-touch.

03:37:37.880 --> 03:37:39.000
Trying to bait the defender out.

03:37:39.000 --> 03:37:41.280
Again, standard shots are not getting past the St. Clair team.

03:37:41.280 --> 03:37:44.400
You throw something in the backboard that they're expected to go on target easily

03:37:44.400 --> 03:37:47.040
They will miss that one and a good follow-up from Bolton without hesitation

03:37:47.800 --> 03:37:53.520
Finally gets Davenport on the board. They need two more just to see an OT, but with two minutes to go that is plenty of time

03:37:54.440 --> 03:38:00.520
Yeah, we're listening to the stats in the back end. Davenport in fact needs so many wins that they need the all the differential as well

03:38:00.520 --> 03:38:04.080
So keep in mind if they lose even one game

03:38:04.080 --> 03:38:07.320
They can only go max plus 19 in differential

03:38:07.320 --> 03:38:11.080
looks a key tiebreaker that ties with Maryville who's already in the top four

03:38:11.080 --> 03:38:14.440
and then they can win that head to head but once they lose two games they can't

03:38:14.440 --> 03:38:17.640
get first anymore granted that's a lot they're just looking for four and they're

03:38:17.640 --> 03:38:22.080
looking to stay in this game another goal line stop great goal line stop and the

03:38:22.080 --> 03:38:26.160
pass out Brock immediately up to it after Boulty's redirect is it gonna be

03:38:26.160 --> 03:38:29.800
enough not quite instead actually maybe some aerial play on the other end as

03:38:29.800 --> 03:38:31.560
St. Clair tries to show him how it's done

03:38:31.560 --> 03:38:35.080
Vesh can't find contact after his initial touch though so Cam instead

03:38:35.080 --> 03:38:36.860
tries to drag this one out to midfield.

03:38:36.860 --> 03:38:39.300
Rock is there, but he's even challenged by Psy.

03:38:39.300 --> 03:38:41.820
And Vesha's got Psy downfield with a pre-jump.

03:38:41.820 --> 03:38:43.620
Maybe it would have been better if he stayed planted,

03:38:43.620 --> 03:38:45.300
but either way, it's St. Clair now,

03:38:45.300 --> 03:38:46.900
with some possession to work with.

03:38:46.900 --> 03:38:48.140
We're gonna take this one back, though,

03:38:48.140 --> 03:38:50.100
and the team pinch, whether intentional or not,

03:38:50.100 --> 03:38:51.300
sends itself to the corner,

03:38:51.300 --> 03:38:53.300
and a double commit out of Davenport.

03:38:53.300 --> 03:38:55.980
A huge opportunity, but now a pre-jumping Psy

03:38:55.980 --> 03:38:59.380
gets no extra touch! Vesha doesn't solo?

03:38:59.380 --> 03:39:01.580
Well, ultimately, this is just a guess from Volte.

03:39:01.580 --> 03:39:03.100
This is the worst position you have

03:39:03.100 --> 03:39:04.660
You have a flip reset in the back pocket.

03:39:04.660 --> 03:39:06.180
You know Vesh is capable of that,

03:39:06.180 --> 03:39:07.540
but instead Vesh just full sends,

03:39:07.540 --> 03:39:08.780
smacks him out of the way,

03:39:08.780 --> 03:39:09.900
and it's gonna be a pretty easy goal.

03:39:09.900 --> 03:39:11.300
Granted, at this level,

03:39:11.300 --> 03:39:13.980
if you're playing up against a team that has a 2v1 on you,

03:39:13.980 --> 03:39:15.900
most of the time you're gonna be screwed,

03:39:15.900 --> 03:39:17.980
and especially with Vesh shooting the way he is,

03:39:17.980 --> 03:39:20.300
that is his hat trick to start off the series.

03:39:20.300 --> 03:39:22.380
I'm just saying, I'm pretty sure that was Ghost Touch.

03:39:22.380 --> 03:39:23.900
Si, you should at least have an assist,

03:39:23.900 --> 03:39:24.820
if not the goal on that.

03:39:24.820 --> 03:39:26.460
Play, oh Mark went up for you, my guy.

03:39:26.460 --> 03:39:28.340
You would have had three in a playmaker in this game,

03:39:28.340 --> 03:39:29.860
instead you only rely on two,

03:39:29.860 --> 03:39:32.380
but I think they got the job done regardless of your top.

03:39:32.380 --> 03:39:37.380
We said Game 1 had to be a statement for Davenport if they wanted to prove they could compete in this series.

03:39:37.380 --> 03:39:43.380
This is anything but that, unfortunately. They've had moments of brilliance, but this is St. Clair returning to business as usual.

03:39:44.380 --> 03:39:52.380
That's just getting every single thing going his way, getting a little pre-flip, even on low boost and low speed, getting them flip into the reset to continue those plays.

03:39:52.380 --> 03:39:56.380
St. Clair is so insanely mechanical, even when losing arguably one of the best in CRL.

03:39:56.380 --> 03:40:01.380
She's still such a light-sucked team! Sai, you are ridiculous!

03:40:01.380 --> 03:40:04.020
You didn't get the last goal, but you absolutely got this one.

03:40:04.020 --> 03:40:05.340
Crazy pinch off the midfield.

03:40:05.340 --> 03:40:07.060
In fact, he reads it immediately and knows

03:40:07.060 --> 03:40:09.580
he can beat out the initial defender who makes a challenge.

03:40:09.580 --> 03:40:10.900
Turn that into a double touch.

03:40:10.900 --> 03:40:13.380
I mean, these guys make it look easy.

03:40:13.380 --> 03:40:14.660
It is anything but.

03:40:14.660 --> 03:40:18.460
St. Clair back on top here as it is five to one.

03:40:18.460 --> 03:40:20.380
Game one, we were hoping would be closed.

03:40:20.380 --> 03:40:22.820
This has been anything but.

03:40:22.820 --> 03:40:24.820
And right here, this is where things start

03:40:24.820 --> 03:40:25.780
to really go off the rail.

03:40:25.780 --> 03:40:28.820
We say this is a feeler game to see how these teams do

03:40:28.820 --> 03:40:29.620
play against each other.

03:40:29.620 --> 03:40:33.060
Well, apparently, St. Clair, they are not concerned whatsoever.

03:40:33.060 --> 03:40:35.780
Coming into this one, getting one more for the Ramas.

03:40:35.780 --> 03:40:41.620
Six-one to start things off with 16 shots to the good.

03:40:41.620 --> 03:40:42.700
There you go, Si.

03:40:42.700 --> 03:40:45.140
You still get yourself your hat trick you were hoping for.

03:40:45.140 --> 03:40:46.820
It took a little bit longer to get there,

03:40:46.820 --> 03:40:50.380
but it's a hat trick nonetheless, and it's four goals for Fesh.

03:40:50.380 --> 03:40:52.380
Like we said, some people had concerns

03:40:52.380 --> 03:40:55.220
if this guy could fill the shoes of RG when he left St. Clair.

03:40:55.220 --> 03:40:58.340
I did not have that concern, and clearly he did not either.

03:40:58.340 --> 03:41:01.220
St. Clair putting on a routing here in Game 1.

03:41:01.220 --> 03:41:02.740
And what's crazy is that a lot of players

03:41:02.740 --> 03:41:04.100
I have talked to about St. Clair

03:41:04.100 --> 03:41:06.140
because I'm always curious about the player perspective

03:41:06.140 --> 03:41:08.900
of being actually in the lobby against these players

03:41:08.900 --> 03:41:11.300
rather than just us as analysts looking at the results.

03:41:11.300 --> 03:41:13.100
I say, what is your review of St. Clair?

03:41:13.100 --> 03:41:15.100
And they say their offense is kind of taking a hit

03:41:15.100 --> 03:41:17.860
since RGU left, but their defense is really good.

03:41:17.860 --> 03:41:20.620
So when a team that is known as having really good defense

03:41:20.620 --> 03:41:23.740
but not a good offense is scoring six goals in a game

03:41:23.740 --> 03:41:25.140
and making it look easy,

03:41:25.140 --> 03:41:27.420
I fear for anyone on the other side of that pitch.

03:41:27.420 --> 03:41:29.640
I don't think we've even really got an example of their defense.

03:41:29.640 --> 03:41:31.420
Obviously, there's a couple of saves here or there,

03:41:31.420 --> 03:41:33.940
but it feels like they lived on the Davenport half and done.

03:41:33.940 --> 03:41:36.040
That's evidenced by 16 shots!

03:41:36.040 --> 03:41:37.540
16! 16-5!

03:41:37.540 --> 03:41:40.260
They outshot them over three times the amount, man.

03:41:40.260 --> 03:41:42.460
St. Clair just kind of going in in this first game.

03:41:42.460 --> 03:41:44.500
And again, I think this is for St. Clair

03:41:44.500 --> 03:41:45.460
to make a statement here.

03:41:45.460 --> 03:41:46.500
I think this is one of those things

03:41:46.500 --> 03:41:47.700
where a lot of people kind of wrote them off

03:41:47.700 --> 03:41:48.940
and went, oh, you guys aren't no longer

03:41:48.940 --> 03:41:50.140
definitively top four.

03:41:50.140 --> 03:41:51.460
Who knows if you're gonna be able to make it back?

03:41:51.460 --> 03:41:54.060
And then went, y'all forgot.

03:41:54.060 --> 03:41:55.140
They're back on top, man.

03:41:55.140 --> 03:41:56.780
This is an incredibly impressive game from them.

03:41:56.780 --> 03:41:58.120
I think they've got a lot left in them

03:41:58.120 --> 03:41:59.920
and I think they're only just getting started.

03:41:59.920 --> 03:42:03.080
I mean, 2-3's team is a back-to-back semester champion

03:42:03.080 --> 03:42:05.280
with a CRL, which is something which is unreal

03:42:05.280 --> 03:42:07.440
because we talk about how good every team is

03:42:07.440 --> 03:42:09.440
and how amazing there's so many contenders now.

03:42:09.440 --> 03:42:11.160
And yet you're still able to go back-to-back.

03:42:11.160 --> 03:42:12.160
That is ridiculous.

03:42:12.160 --> 03:42:13.800
To even contemplate that this team

03:42:13.800 --> 03:42:15.720
could do it three different times,

03:42:15.720 --> 03:42:17.040
well, also having a roster change

03:42:17.040 --> 03:42:19.040
in the middle of that really dynasty

03:42:19.040 --> 03:42:20.600
that they're forming is ridiculous.

03:42:20.600 --> 03:42:23.360
But of course, this has also been a semester of spoilers

03:42:23.360 --> 03:42:24.360
and my goodness, this damn board

03:42:24.360 --> 03:42:25.880
played that role so well.

03:42:25.880 --> 03:42:28.820
One game doesn't mean anything for the series.

03:42:28.820 --> 03:42:31.980
Differential might be out, but you gotta focus on the bigger picture.

03:42:31.980 --> 03:42:36.960
And right now, Jazzy, it's starting things up just the same, bar down banger.

03:42:36.960 --> 03:42:41.120
He does not miss, and the fact that he gets this off a read from the corner like that

03:42:41.120 --> 03:42:43.640
from a pinch from Vesh is even more impressive.

03:42:43.640 --> 03:42:49.260
This ball was flying at light speed, and somehow he perfectly nails it off the bar and in.

03:42:49.260 --> 03:42:50.960
Davenport must have been thick coming into this game.

03:42:50.960 --> 03:42:53.240
Surely we get like two seconds to print.

03:42:53.240 --> 03:42:56.560
Nope, no you not, it's already in your net and it's 1-0 to St. Clair.

03:42:57.680 --> 03:43:01.600
They're just so consistent. Like I said, he pre-jumps that dunk and then also lands on the rebound.

03:43:01.600 --> 03:43:05.600
Like in every mechanic is intentional, they're so good at connecting with each other.

03:43:05.600 --> 03:43:07.800
And this is also what makes St. Clair so good.

03:43:07.800 --> 03:43:13.440
They are all individually insane players, challenging for main event slots in NARLCS.

03:43:13.440 --> 03:43:18.480
And very rarely make mistakes, I say, misleadingly as the miss leads to Brock.

03:43:18.800 --> 03:43:22.920
They are still not infallible. Again, these guys can still take mistakes here.

03:43:22.920 --> 03:43:27.040
there they can still bleed and it's probably their worst mistake all day at

03:43:27.040 --> 03:43:30.000
this point as it's just kind of a failed read off the side ball nobody's prepared

03:43:30.000 --> 03:43:34.320
for what could be a shot on target and you know honestly it's good du just

03:43:34.320 --> 03:43:37.160
shutting down the momentum for a little bit hopefully this lets them stabilize

03:43:37.160 --> 03:43:40.640
and turn this more into an even series it's also important to be able to get

03:43:40.640 --> 03:43:43.000
those goals because you're not gonna get a lot of freebies so when they do

03:43:43.000 --> 03:43:46.920
come up it has to go in speaking upside no boost none needed back post

03:43:46.920 --> 03:43:51.040
slaughter they're like two seconds we barely even got to analyze this

03:43:51.040 --> 03:43:54.360
game before immediately to Jazzy inside putting on another clinic here and

03:43:54.360 --> 03:43:57.840
finding the second goal. I need to remind people we asked him last semester

03:43:57.840 --> 03:44:02.240
after he won if side claimed himself as the best collegiate Rockley player of

03:44:02.240 --> 03:44:06.520
all time. He seriously got a case for it man. This dude's accolades stretch a

03:44:06.520 --> 03:44:10.280
mile long and he's done it in multiple regions. Just truly one of the

03:44:10.280 --> 03:44:13.080
greatest talents that collegiate Rockley has ever seen and he's proven

03:44:13.080 --> 03:44:17.440
it all over again. He has been insane every single semester. He has a

03:44:17.440 --> 03:44:21.760
world championship under his belt back of the day when he's playing in the EU and then he came to

03:44:21.760 --> 03:44:25.760
NA and just kind of teaching everybody how to effectively play the game. Even if you get tomorrow

03:44:25.760 --> 03:44:31.120
see a success so we do like to see that but of course Davenport, they can't be intimidated by that

03:44:31.120 --> 03:44:35.280
although I don't blame them for that. Can dunk to throw backboards off on especially when getting

03:44:35.280 --> 03:44:39.840
out of the midfield is so tough. There's at least one beat but Camille has so much in the tank.

03:44:39.840 --> 03:44:43.600
Can't be out that aerial side. Gonna go off the side wall. Doesn't get it.

03:44:43.600 --> 03:44:45.600
is trying to hit it off to Jazzy,

03:44:45.600 --> 03:44:47.920
and at this point it almost feels like they're pre-jumping.

03:44:47.920 --> 03:44:48.760
I think they did.

03:44:48.760 --> 03:44:51.240
I think Jazzy genuinely pre-jumped that expecting side

03:44:51.240 --> 03:44:52.520
to get the side wall redirect,

03:44:52.520 --> 03:44:53.360
and he went, all right, sure,

03:44:53.360 --> 03:44:54.800
if you get this to me, I'll be there.

03:44:54.800 --> 03:44:56.000
Unfortunately what it did do though,

03:44:56.000 --> 03:44:58.160
is throw numbers down field and allow Davenport

03:44:58.160 --> 03:44:59.920
for probably a pretty easy transition

03:44:59.920 --> 03:45:01.840
that, hey, I know we've said Davenport,

03:45:01.840 --> 03:45:03.280
you can't miss these opportunities.

03:45:03.280 --> 03:45:05.240
They're never missing this.

03:45:05.240 --> 03:45:06.840
The thing is, is that St. Clair trusts each other

03:45:06.840 --> 03:45:08.280
so much that it almost doesn't even matter

03:45:08.280 --> 03:45:09.120
if they miss.

03:45:09.120 --> 03:45:10.840
The problem is, you are still susceptible

03:45:10.840 --> 03:45:12.240
to the other team being really good.

03:45:12.240 --> 03:45:14.360
Bulty, maybe we don't really mention too much,

03:45:14.360 --> 03:45:15.720
but he's never gonna miss those.

03:45:15.720 --> 03:45:17.680
Gets the one on one, air dribble-flump as well

03:45:17.680 --> 03:45:19.760
just to make sure that goes on through.

03:45:19.760 --> 03:45:21.600
And even off kickoff, they do have an opportunity.

03:45:21.600 --> 03:45:22.840
As Brock stole that mid-boost.

03:45:22.840 --> 03:45:24.800
Cam quickly up, beats outside.

03:45:24.800 --> 03:45:27.000
Bulty might be able to knock in as Brock is waiting.

03:45:27.000 --> 03:45:28.160
He's a little late to the read,

03:45:28.160 --> 03:45:29.640
but does beat out Vesh.

03:45:29.640 --> 03:45:30.480
Demo in the midfield.

03:45:30.480 --> 03:45:32.680
Cam calls him off, he's trying to get the shot,

03:45:32.680 --> 03:45:35.040
but the bounce shot will not fool Jazzy.

03:45:35.040 --> 03:45:36.720
I like the idea from Cam there, though.

03:45:36.720 --> 03:45:38.120
He's expecting the player in net

03:45:38.120 --> 03:45:39.080
to be prepared for the shot,

03:45:39.080 --> 03:45:40.480
so he tries to do a little bit of trickery

03:45:40.480 --> 03:45:41.640
by bouncing it off the ground.

03:45:41.640 --> 03:45:43.240
It's not a bad idea, and it's a player

03:45:43.240 --> 03:45:45.360
that I do want to talk a little bit more about.

03:45:45.360 --> 03:45:47.640
I think Cam's got to be a guy to sort of focus

03:45:47.640 --> 03:45:49.400
on if you are a Davenport fan.

03:45:49.400 --> 03:45:51.320
He's one of the most history players in all of collegiate

03:45:51.320 --> 03:45:53.480
rock league, another name that'll be home in the Raptors

03:45:53.480 --> 03:45:56.040
as he does have a national churra, excuse me,

03:45:56.040 --> 03:45:58.240
a CRL championship under his belt

03:45:58.240 --> 03:46:00.800
as he did it with Columbia so many years ago.

03:46:00.800 --> 03:46:03.080
That being said, he's a guy who we haven't really talked

03:46:03.080 --> 03:46:04.680
a lot about through this series in particular.

03:46:04.680 --> 03:46:06.120
I'd like to see him pop up more,

03:46:06.120 --> 03:46:08.180
but so far he's got a single assist in the series

03:46:08.180 --> 03:46:10.680
and not much more to speak of.

03:46:10.680 --> 03:46:15.180
You can certainly see that Davenport are being a lot more economical with their boots,

03:46:15.180 --> 03:46:17.680
trying to make sure they only use it enough to be able to get to Reeds,

03:46:17.680 --> 03:46:20.980
make sure they take these 50s cleanly, and so far it's working out pretty well.

03:46:20.980 --> 03:46:23.180
Grants, it's not going to get them a lead, but it keeps them in the game.

03:46:23.180 --> 03:46:26.080
I think they'll gladly take that after that blowout of game number one.

03:46:26.080 --> 03:46:28.480
You also need to make sure they keep an eye on the side.

03:46:28.480 --> 03:46:30.380
No double tap reset on this one.

03:46:30.380 --> 03:46:34.380
And now with a counter, Gass is going to have to get up to stop Cam and does so well.

03:46:34.880 --> 03:46:38.380
I do like that we're starting to see Davenport meet these mid-air challenges a lot more often.

03:46:38.380 --> 03:46:43.020
We're talking about the pre-jumping passing plays that we saw from St. Clair that would more or less go uncontested

03:46:43.020 --> 03:46:44.220
and is no longer the same thing.

03:46:44.220 --> 03:46:47.540
Somebody from Davenport is there to meet these challenges almost every time.

03:46:47.540 --> 03:46:50.020
And almost, they're here to take advantage of some mistakes.

03:46:50.020 --> 03:46:53.500
That was relatively open net, and instead it's a counter attack the other way.

03:46:53.500 --> 03:46:56.820
The shot, not on Torian and Brock, back in time for the follow-up.

03:46:56.820 --> 03:46:58.620
That's just agonizing for both teams.

03:46:58.620 --> 03:47:03.180
I think, honestly, that miss or quote-unquote miss on the far side of Davenport was them playing the 50,

03:47:03.180 --> 03:47:05.500
and they were playing the shots, so then everybody misses.

03:47:05.500 --> 03:47:10.740
Regardless, not gonna hurt anybody because it's still very much in contention and you'd see a lot more ball chasing

03:47:10.740 --> 03:47:13.860
But that's deliberate from down for it's like they want to play

03:47:13.860 --> 03:47:16.660
They're all Tuesdays and they know how to play at pace

03:47:16.660 --> 03:47:20.300
I has to do so to get back to the back post and does make the save

03:47:20.820 --> 03:47:26.420
Speaking of twos a quick little plug if anybody is wondering we have more glee you're ugly acting throughout the semester after this one

03:47:26.420 --> 03:47:29.420
The league play they conclude but we will also have our 2v2

03:47:29.420 --> 03:47:33.740
competition and I expect players like side compete in it. He's doing just fine in

03:47:33.740 --> 03:47:37.340
threes though. The lead reestablished for St. Clair. That's a rough one from Rocky.

03:47:37.340 --> 03:47:40.060
He actually could have jumped earlier from the corner but I think he trusted

03:47:40.060 --> 03:47:43.460
that to roll off the wall instead of bounces just widely enough that it's

03:47:43.460 --> 03:47:48.500
gonna be an easy slot from the side wall for St. Clair. Psy second, St. Clair's

03:47:48.500 --> 03:47:52.460
third and with this lead they can't hold on to it for 70 seconds but you

03:47:52.460 --> 03:47:55.460
never know what's at board especially with those lead blocks. Brock trying to

03:47:55.460 --> 03:47:58.180
get on top of it but can't quite do it. Yeah Cam doesn't really have

03:47:58.180 --> 03:48:01.060
anything on the follow-up touch there in the corner either easy at least able to

03:48:01.060 --> 03:48:03.820
contain it but he's got no boost to generally do anything with it and

03:48:03.820 --> 03:48:06.940
instead of challenges from st. Clair will send it back into the damn port half

03:48:06.940 --> 03:48:11.100
yet again so I think he's actually gonna get some extra space here due to a

03:48:11.100 --> 03:48:13.580
couple of demos I don't think either team were really expecting it and

03:48:13.580 --> 03:48:17.660
Vesh was not expecting a power off that path poor Vesh is sitting there

03:48:17.660 --> 03:48:20.860
like yeah if you need me I'm there and then he just lightning bolted

03:48:20.860 --> 03:48:24.780
straight at the hood of his car and being able to get the snacks off it

03:48:24.780 --> 03:48:27.820
do be unexpected that helps a lot but also you need to be able to make

03:48:27.820 --> 03:48:29.580
sure you're all on the same page.

03:48:29.580 --> 03:48:31.780
That board even triple-committed briefly on that defense,

03:48:31.780 --> 03:48:32.740
but I don't blame him.

03:48:32.740 --> 03:48:34.500
They need to dive in on a lot of these reeds,

03:48:34.500 --> 03:48:35.860
especially because it keeps rebounding

03:48:35.860 --> 03:48:37.020
in dangerous positions.

03:48:37.020 --> 03:48:38.540
Brock and Ken get each other's way,

03:48:38.540 --> 03:48:40.700
but I think I just confused Jazzy.

03:48:40.700 --> 03:48:42.060
I think he was expecting the 50.

03:48:42.060 --> 03:48:43.340
The 50 doesn't arrive, and he's like,

03:48:43.340 --> 03:48:44.500
well, I don't know what to do with this,

03:48:44.500 --> 03:48:46.180
and then the 50 does arrive on the other end,

03:48:46.180 --> 03:48:47.120
and they concede.

03:48:47.120 --> 03:48:49.100
Calamity on both ends, and it comes out

03:48:49.100 --> 03:48:50.820
to the benefit of Davenport.

03:48:50.820 --> 03:48:51.740
I'm just gonna say calculated,

03:48:51.740 --> 03:48:53.340
but also great shot by Volte.

03:48:53.340 --> 03:48:55.980
Understanding Vesha wants to put that one to the corner.

03:48:55.980 --> 03:48:57.060
So he doesn't even go for the reed.

03:48:57.060 --> 03:48:59.580
He just jumps all the way to the right and gets the best

03:48:59.580 --> 03:49:00.500
dunk possible.

03:49:00.500 --> 03:49:03.100
A flawless assist right into the path of his teammate.

03:49:03.100 --> 03:49:04.260
We're tied up again.

03:49:04.260 --> 03:49:06.540
He'd be looking to OT, but you never really know in a game

03:49:06.540 --> 03:49:07.220
like this.

03:49:07.220 --> 03:49:08.460
They've got to just imagine that.

03:49:08.460 --> 03:49:09.700
They're like talking to each other, going,

03:49:09.700 --> 03:49:11.100
that's exactly how we drew it up.

03:49:11.100 --> 03:49:12.820
That's the play that we were hoping for here.

03:49:12.820 --> 03:49:14.500
This is definitely not how St. Clair drew it up,

03:49:14.500 --> 03:49:16.020
but they'll take it if it works out.

03:49:16.020 --> 03:49:18.060
Again, chaos erupting here off the kickoff,

03:49:18.060 --> 03:49:20.180
and it looks like St. Clair will have one more chance.

03:49:20.180 --> 03:49:21.380
And the ceiling this one goes.

03:49:21.380 --> 03:49:22.660
Is anybody there for the read?

03:49:22.660 --> 03:49:24.180
Both he is, and he'll spike it down.

03:49:24.180 --> 03:49:25.100
We have overtime.

03:49:25.100 --> 03:49:26.900
Game number two.

03:49:26.900 --> 03:49:29.460
This would be such a huge game for Davenport.

03:49:29.460 --> 03:49:31.660
Still a little sloppy, but still has a chance to make up for it.

03:49:31.660 --> 03:49:35.220
Thing is, nobody's up with BESH, and that's usually a spell disaster.

03:49:35.220 --> 03:49:39.460
Carries it all the way down, but Vulti makes the save and tries to carry it forward.

03:49:39.460 --> 03:49:42.340
All right, it's a bit of a weird way to start off the OT,

03:49:42.340 --> 03:49:45.380
but it would be a weirder way to end it if that went in.

03:49:45.380 --> 03:49:46.820
Jazzy's trying to trace back.

03:49:46.820 --> 03:49:48.580
He eventually gets the save.

03:49:48.580 --> 03:49:51.260
I think it's Cam who's in front of Ned for a little bit of misdirection.

03:49:51.260 --> 03:49:55.180
And all right, it seems like the shenanigans that ended off regulation

03:49:55.180 --> 03:49:58.140
They're not going to escape us, you know what I mean?

03:49:58.140 --> 03:50:02.620
Well, the 50 game from Davenport thing is counterattacks are always a possibility.

03:50:02.620 --> 03:50:05.940
Heavy deflection, it's gonna be just why Brock knows it and plays it to Bulty.

03:50:05.940 --> 03:50:09.060
That's wide open, but he can't angle it from a distance.

03:50:09.060 --> 03:50:13.900
Vesh from the side wall, right to Brock, into Cam, top shelf, Jazzy.

03:50:13.900 --> 03:50:15.660
Somehow gets in the way.

03:50:15.660 --> 03:50:20.180
One more chance for Bulty, double, no, Vesh again is there.

03:50:20.180 --> 03:50:23.340
And that's why we say St. Clair, one of the best defenses all of

03:50:23.340 --> 03:50:27.180
the right place every time it doesn't matter through low on boost you've got

03:50:27.180 --> 03:50:30.220
somebody planted on the backboard prepared to take away any chance at a

03:50:30.220 --> 03:50:34.260
double-touch a passing play whatever you will have prepared for this one again

03:50:34.260 --> 03:50:40.140
not quite mid-air Balti saw that one two ways this Sunday he ties up the series

03:50:40.140 --> 03:50:44.780
Balti already in the air for this one this is why Davenport is so fun to

03:50:44.780 --> 03:50:48.180
watch this semester because they've always done this and you say it and

03:50:48.180 --> 03:50:52.740
they're just messing around nope they're just that good able to get the

03:50:52.740 --> 03:50:59.300
Game 2 victory and it took some doing but not even St. Claire can keep an offense clicking like this quiet for long

03:50:59.300 --> 03:51:04.220
I like that cam just couple eyebrow raises into the camera. He knows oh, okay

03:51:04.220 --> 03:51:08.780
All right y'all are estimating us don't you dare and this is the problem that we have with st. Claire

03:51:08.780 --> 03:51:13.020
Maybe getting overconfident in that one. I don't know if you felt the same way, but uh

03:51:13.620 --> 03:51:17.900
Maybe a couple too many pre-jumps for them, especially when they worked in the lead

03:51:17.900 --> 03:51:23.360
They had the lead at moments here, but in comparison to game one where they blew them out the water with a five goal

03:51:23.640 --> 03:51:27.020
Margin to end the game you can't afford to be playing a little nonsensical

03:51:27.020 --> 03:51:29.380
I think at too many times St. Claire got a little cute with it

03:51:29.380 --> 03:51:34.140
They need to go for something more standard like this passing plays that turn it into bumps final shots

03:51:34.140 --> 03:51:38.180
Just go on target. They have to be more clinical. That was just not the version of St. Claire

03:51:38.180 --> 03:51:43.100
We saw in game number one, but also you see a lot of saves required as you look at this highlight reel

03:51:43.100 --> 03:51:47.380
I mean this goal is spectacular even with two goal players in it's hard to be able to stop the

03:51:47.380 --> 03:52:03.380
unexpected, but this is what Davenport's been doing all semester. I feel like they've always had this mentality of let's play fast, let's be chaotic, let's really stretch the team that we're playing against to see how well they can adapt to our level of skill because these are not just two's mains.

03:52:03.380 --> 03:52:09.720
Cam and Brock alone have been well within top 100 into that 23-2400 MMR range.

03:52:09.720 --> 03:52:15.200
They cue this 2v2 tournaments, which you can also sign up for, hint hint, within the CRL Opens.

03:52:15.200 --> 03:52:21.760
But the thing is, they've never really been able to chain that playstyle into something cohesive in threes until the semester.

03:52:21.760 --> 03:52:25.880
Is this the start of something more, I guess St. Clair will have our answer in game three.

03:52:25.880 --> 03:52:30.600
Let's find out. Game three officially underway, and like you said, there's a lot of players keep their eyes on,

03:52:30.600 --> 03:52:33.320
But I'm going to go back to mentioning this guy who was just on the ball.

03:52:33.320 --> 03:52:35.000
I think Cam's got to come to life here.

03:52:35.000 --> 03:52:38.040
Still, again, only a single assist through two games.

03:52:38.040 --> 03:52:41.480
You expect him to be more involved in the offense, and instead it's actually Brock

03:52:41.480 --> 03:52:43.480
who gets the scoring chance to start it early.

03:52:43.480 --> 03:52:46.520
He does not convert, but Brock maybe to get it back to Cam.

03:52:46.520 --> 03:52:47.160
Can't quite.

03:52:47.160 --> 03:52:47.880
It's intercepted.

03:52:47.880 --> 03:52:49.480
And Saint Clair, crazy read.

03:52:49.480 --> 03:52:51.240
It would be even crazier angle.

03:52:51.240 --> 03:52:52.280
But both of you will deny.

03:52:52.280 --> 03:52:56.120
To follow up on target, and Cam descended the other way.

03:52:56.120 --> 03:52:57.000
Cassie hyperventilating.

03:52:57.000 --> 03:52:59.720
He's trying to sprint all the way back, and he just gets there in time.

03:52:59.720 --> 03:53:01.480
I mean, not only that, it's the extension.

03:53:01.480 --> 03:53:02.320
Brock can beat now.

03:53:02.320 --> 03:53:04.200
That's a great pass into Vech.

03:53:04.200 --> 03:53:06.560
And it doesn't get much better than that on transition.

03:53:06.560 --> 03:53:08.520
Kids, if you ever wanted to learn how to counterattack

03:53:08.520 --> 03:53:10.800
in Rocket League efficiently, watch Jazzy.

03:53:10.800 --> 03:53:12.360
This is exactly how you do it.

03:53:12.360 --> 03:53:13.520
Forget the boost out of midfield.

03:53:13.520 --> 03:53:15.240
Forget picking up pennies in the corner.

03:53:15.240 --> 03:53:16.440
Get a good touch on the side wall

03:53:16.440 --> 03:53:18.040
and move as quickly as you can.

03:53:18.040 --> 03:53:20.000
If you know the other team has committed

03:53:20.000 --> 03:53:21.640
multiple players up forward,

03:53:21.640 --> 03:53:23.040
your goal is to go the other way

03:53:23.040 --> 03:53:25.240
as fast as physically possible.

03:53:25.240 --> 03:53:27.640
Not only was it a great pass from Jazzy,

03:53:27.640 --> 03:53:29.320
heads up play from Vech to be there

03:53:29.320 --> 03:53:32.080
at the right time in the right place.

03:53:32.080 --> 03:53:33.440
Right the layoff into Brock.

03:53:33.440 --> 03:53:35.080
Problem is a little bit of a heavy touch.

03:53:35.080 --> 03:53:35.920
That's fine.

03:53:35.920 --> 03:53:37.760
Someone on the side wall, bolted into the ceiling.

03:53:37.760 --> 03:53:39.280
Brock lurking near post.

03:53:39.280 --> 03:53:40.120
He's gonna miss.

03:53:40.120 --> 03:53:43.000
How about a tactical whiff right in the cam?

03:53:43.000 --> 03:53:45.720
I asked for him to show up and he's finally doing so.

03:53:45.720 --> 03:53:47.680
This is more what we're looking for in cam.

03:53:47.680 --> 03:53:49.200
Such a heads up play as well.

03:53:49.200 --> 03:53:51.000
You recognize that the awkwardness off the backboard

03:53:51.000 --> 03:53:52.400
and before anybody from St. Clair

03:53:52.400 --> 03:53:53.880
can even make a move at the ball,

03:53:53.880 --> 03:53:55.800
he's jumping for it immediately.

03:53:55.800 --> 03:53:57.440
You can't get complacent St. Clair.

03:53:57.440 --> 03:53:59.120
I said that was the problem in game two

03:53:59.120 --> 03:54:02.120
and it clearly still is here in game three.

03:54:02.120 --> 03:54:04.640
And I would guarantee anything that that was a calm to play

03:54:04.640 --> 03:54:05.840
from Davenport, same with this,

03:54:05.840 --> 03:54:07.840
have with the pass middle, slot to the back post,

03:54:07.840 --> 03:54:09.520
Fesh, can't keep it out,

03:54:09.520 --> 03:54:11.840
Blinken, you miss it, Davenport in the lead.

03:54:11.840 --> 03:54:14.320
I'm feeling like a profit right now, man.

03:54:14.320 --> 03:54:15.880
I asked for Cam to step up,

03:54:15.880 --> 03:54:18.080
and immediately he scores two goals for us,

03:54:18.080 --> 03:54:20.760
and the only two here in game number three.

03:54:20.760 --> 03:54:22.400
You see, listen to him, Cam, if you are,

03:54:22.400 --> 03:54:25.280
keep it up, brother, you're looking fly.

03:54:25.280 --> 03:54:27.680
And Cam, he's a console and entertainer,

03:54:27.680 --> 03:54:30.080
anybody who has ever been in his stream or chatted with him at a land,

03:54:30.080 --> 03:54:32.600
he does like to be able to bust out something flashy.

03:54:32.600 --> 03:54:35.760
But of course, he's been a top player in CRL for a while for a reason.

03:54:35.760 --> 03:54:41.000
He can't peek out of nowhere and also be able to be in the right place at the right time.

03:54:41.000 --> 03:54:43.560
St. Clair, I think a bit of a little shell shocked right now.

03:54:43.560 --> 03:54:47.320
I don't think they really anticipated suddenly just having all these misdirections coming in

03:54:47.320 --> 03:54:51.000
and all these weird mid passes that are always fighting their mark.

03:54:51.000 --> 03:54:55.200
Can't say the same about that Brock shot, but very much lurking and almost having a third.

03:54:55.200 --> 03:54:59.600
Uh-oh, Jassy though, time space and the reset, it's still not enough.

03:54:59.600 --> 03:55:04.400
Bolti picks up his third save of the game already, we're not even at half-time.

03:55:04.400 --> 03:55:07.680
Davenport, I mean, we kind of said, hey, don't let St. Clair get going,

03:55:07.680 --> 03:55:09.760
because if you do, it's going to be hard to stop them.

03:55:09.760 --> 03:55:12.160
Apparently, St. Clair should have let Davenport get going.

03:55:12.160 --> 03:55:14.560
They were looking electric after that first game.

03:55:15.280 --> 03:55:17.840
Yeah, the rotation's still a little bit off at times,

03:55:17.840 --> 03:55:20.720
but for the most part, they're getting the reads when they need to rock.

03:55:20.720 --> 03:55:23.920
Half-de-Clear downfield, Kim's not going to get it, but how about an reflection?

03:55:23.920 --> 03:55:29.160
50 on Cy, another reflection well past Fesh as Boltey is going to try to lock things down in the midfield.

03:55:29.160 --> 03:55:34.080
He'll go back into defense, but St. Clair, they're trying to keep it small ball, right into Boltey on the save.

03:55:34.080 --> 03:55:36.800
And the catch from Brock is only going to be stopped by Jazzy.

03:55:36.800 --> 03:55:40.600
And it seems like Damport always has that next three locked up.

03:55:40.600 --> 03:55:44.200
And the big issue for St. Clair right now is they're used to putting this team in the blender

03:55:44.200 --> 03:55:46.880
and just kind of putting the pressure on until eventually something gives.

03:55:46.880 --> 03:55:48.400
They are just not seeing that right now.

03:55:48.400 --> 03:55:51.600
Damport not only doing a good job at making the saves necessary,

03:55:51.600 --> 03:55:57.480
but they're doing a good job of transitioning it downfield and just not letting them get put into that vice grip that ever squeezes.

03:55:57.480 --> 03:56:05.080
Right away through the game now, there's still chances for St. Clair, but Davenport, the preventative play, is night and day in comparison to the start of this series.

03:56:05.080 --> 03:56:10.200
I mean, just pay attention to how Davenport challenges. It's so two-scoded, they're just constantly trying to be annoying, get a weird touch,

03:56:10.200 --> 03:56:15.040
and it definitely is frustrating. St. Clair at times, they don't look as cohesive, they've found the counter-attack goal,

03:56:15.040 --> 03:56:22.100
But since then, it's been a lot of weird situations, especially when Brock is breathing right down your neck trying to get this red pitch across Jazzy.

03:56:22.100 --> 03:56:23.800
Had to be careful he didn't own goal that one.

03:56:23.800 --> 03:56:29.400
So I try to get this one off the half, still can't. He barely even escapes the corner, and actually he does not escape the corner.

03:56:29.400 --> 03:56:34.200
Brock was in it right back there, and the ricochet across Ned, almost gets read by both of you, alright?

03:56:34.200 --> 03:56:39.560
I like it, it's a little cheeky, but it doesn't work out. Instead, it's passing play. Fesh is there, double touch.

03:56:39.560 --> 03:56:43.440
Oh, target it in! A heck of a way to tie the score line!

03:56:43.440 --> 03:56:45.320
Cannonbolt, he both turned around at the same time.

03:56:45.320 --> 03:56:46.720
They get out, what's the worst that could happen?

03:56:46.720 --> 03:56:49.280
Vesh is always the worst thing that could happen to you.

03:56:49.280 --> 03:56:52.600
He has been a nightmare, especially in the skies.

03:56:52.600 --> 03:56:54.120
Easy as you like on the double tap.

03:56:54.120 --> 03:56:56.880
If you don't have a hand up, you are going to be in trouble.

03:56:56.880 --> 03:56:57.920
And down, man down.

03:56:57.920 --> 03:57:00.200
It's a statement in Rocket League for a reason.

03:57:00.200 --> 03:57:03.080
It has been true for forever, and it will stay true in this series.

03:57:03.080 --> 03:57:04.160
You know what else is true?

03:57:04.160 --> 03:57:06.400
Vesh putting up a highlight real performance.

03:57:06.400 --> 03:57:08.800
That is his sixth goal in three games.

03:57:08.800 --> 03:57:11.800
He is averaging two goals a game right now.

03:57:11.800 --> 03:57:15.040
That's performance he needs, especially against a surging Davenport.

03:57:15.040 --> 03:57:19.800
It will not get him a lead, but at least it does tie him up, and maybe Thread and Needle, Davenport, can get right back into it.

03:57:19.800 --> 03:57:21.560
They've had quick responses so far.

03:57:21.560 --> 03:57:25.040
Maybe this is another. Psy needs a 50. He's only going to get a partial one.

03:57:25.040 --> 03:57:28.800
Where is Bolti? He's all the way back getting loosed. Can't continue the rotation.

03:57:28.800 --> 03:57:33.840
Uh-oh, that's a really early jump from Bolti, and Jazzy knows that, so the first reset is just to get around him.

03:57:33.840 --> 03:57:36.800
The second one is to get at the proc, and then the pass out to Psy.

03:57:36.800 --> 03:57:39.300
Best sends it to the backboard fakes the aerial.

03:57:39.300 --> 03:57:41.960
I'm not sure if he thought he was getting beat to it or what the deal was,

03:57:41.960 --> 03:57:47.600
but that's not going to be enough if this will be a taco.

03:57:47.600 --> 03:57:50.440
I got my first goal that I'm just flabbergasted and confused by.

03:57:50.880 --> 03:57:54.720
Well, apparently this was Rockley, but he just took off the sniper and took a scope

03:57:54.720 --> 03:57:57.000
and say, hey, that back corner is wide open.

03:57:57.000 --> 03:58:00.400
If I hit that hard enough, excellent hit from distance from cam.

03:58:00.560 --> 03:58:03.200
It might look like a generic goal, but that's all awareness.

03:58:03.200 --> 03:58:06.440
Recognizing the rotation is way too far forward and just seeing how hard

03:58:06.440 --> 03:58:09.240
you can hit it just over the head of that last defender.

03:58:09.240 --> 03:58:11.680
All right, and well, Cam, we asked for you to come to life.

03:58:11.680 --> 03:58:12.640
You've officially done it.

03:58:12.640 --> 03:58:14.920
That's a hat trick for him here in game number three.

03:58:14.920 --> 03:58:16.120
If they're going to win this game,

03:58:16.120 --> 03:58:17.600
it's going to be a lot to do with Cam.

03:58:17.600 --> 03:58:19.560
But it's not quite there yet.

03:58:19.560 --> 03:58:21.720
A minute to play, only a one goal differential

03:58:21.720 --> 03:58:22.600
between the two teams.

03:58:22.600 --> 03:58:25.520
St. Clair have got plenty of time and pretty good aerial.

03:58:25.520 --> 03:58:28.480
Cy, reset in the back, can't get around Brock though.

03:58:28.480 --> 03:58:30.880
Fall from Jazzy is there, but it is far too late.

03:58:30.880 --> 03:58:33.520
And it's back on the St. Clair half yet again.

03:58:33.520 --> 03:58:34.960
Well, the excellent predictive play.

03:58:34.960 --> 03:58:40.020
Not able to get it past the second layer, but maybe that's what the cam is for trying to fake that one get side of bite

03:58:40.020 --> 03:58:43.180
But no one following up immediately demo in the backfield

03:58:43.180 --> 03:58:46.260
It's a st. Clare down a man the respawn the back post means everybody

03:58:46.820 --> 03:58:49.520
Davenport going for it all three players at offense again

03:58:49.520 --> 03:58:54.740
This is how Davenport plays they have to hold on to lead, but they're just gonna keep on going and that's the result

03:58:55.380 --> 03:58:58.560
All of that play hinge on this boost steel in the corner

03:58:58.560 --> 03:59:01.460
I'm not sure who it was, but they stole it at the perfect time

03:59:01.460 --> 03:59:06.620
Which leaves all the same player trying to figure out where to go one player with any booster really work wave and everybody else

03:59:06.620 --> 03:59:14.260
Just scrambling st. Claire from starting off the series with a dominant six to one victory to looking down the barrel of two straight to Davenport

03:59:14.860 --> 03:59:19.860
The Saints not necessarily disarray, but they have to be wondered how does it go from game one to this?

03:59:19.860 --> 03:59:22.180
Maybe one more can it boost their spirits

03:59:22.180 --> 03:59:29.780
That's gotta be in from Vesh and with two seconds to go another Vesh hat trick has kept this one in the realm of the possible

03:59:29.780 --> 03:59:36.580
You believe in magic in the final two seconds cause off of this kickoff this has got to be it!

03:59:36.580 --> 03:59:44.080
St. Clair with one last chance here if they don't do it now we avoid overtime and Davenport on the verge of serious point

03:59:44.080 --> 03:59:48.380
They'll keep it up, flaming in size downfield, this goes for Backboard where's the shot?

03:59:48.380 --> 03:59:52.880
On target and denied! They're still on a chance and they can't keep it up!

03:59:52.880 --> 03:59:57.880
Davenport 2-1 they have one to go and they keep their playoff dreams alive!

03:59:57.880 --> 04:00:00.180
But again, this is what I was saying on desk.

04:00:00.180 --> 04:00:02.440
It's not really just a freak result

04:00:02.440 --> 04:00:05.240
when you've done it three separate times from Davenport.

04:00:05.240 --> 04:00:08.820
They have beaten so many high level teams in this league

04:00:08.820 --> 04:00:11.440
play, and it's because of gameplay exactly like that.

04:00:11.440 --> 04:00:12.920
If you're wondering why I'm confident,

04:00:12.920 --> 04:00:14.280
why I'm high on this team right now,

04:00:14.280 --> 04:00:16.400
it's because they rotate like psychos,

04:00:16.400 --> 04:00:17.960
but they're all on the same page.

04:00:17.960 --> 04:00:20.120
They all are fully committed to the idea

04:00:20.120 --> 04:00:22.480
that they will just shove pressure right at you

04:00:22.480 --> 04:00:23.400
until you crumble.

04:00:23.400 --> 04:00:25.200
And even a team is organized in St. Clair,

04:00:25.200 --> 04:00:27.200
as you can tell, they can stick with them,

04:00:27.200 --> 04:00:28.640
But they are not impervious.

04:00:28.640 --> 04:00:31.640
They will give up a goal or two off of these clean comms,

04:00:31.640 --> 04:00:33.640
even with all three players in the box.

04:00:33.640 --> 04:00:35.320
And I think right now if you're St. Clair,

04:00:35.320 --> 04:00:36.920
you have to figure out a counter right now

04:00:36.920 --> 04:00:39.160
because all this chaos is just a bit too much

04:00:39.160 --> 04:00:40.080
for them to handle.

04:00:40.080 --> 04:00:41.200
And the crazy thing is,

04:00:41.200 --> 04:00:42.960
is that Davenport have handled all of the chaos.

04:00:42.960 --> 04:00:44.000
They've handled all of the pressure.

04:00:44.000 --> 04:00:45.280
That is 13 shots.

04:00:45.280 --> 04:00:47.920
Again, double digit shots in favor of St. Clair.

04:00:47.920 --> 04:00:49.480
And they only conferred on three.

04:00:49.480 --> 04:00:51.600
Davenport and Barrison don't even reach double digits.

04:00:51.600 --> 04:00:52.600
They get to nine.

04:00:52.600 --> 04:00:54.040
And both of you didn't even have a shot.

04:00:54.040 --> 04:00:55.360
He just went, hey, Cam Brock here.

04:00:55.360 --> 04:00:56.680
I'm gonna feed it to y'all.

04:00:56.680 --> 04:00:58.520
do whatever you want with it and it works out.

04:00:58.520 --> 04:00:59.640
He gets to assist.

04:00:59.640 --> 04:01:01.640
Cam puts up the performance of a lifetime

04:01:01.640 --> 04:01:04.280
with three goals and an assist.

04:01:04.280 --> 04:01:06.560
Dude, this is getting into that territory.

04:01:06.560 --> 04:01:08.580
We've got to remind people at home.

04:01:08.580 --> 04:01:12.160
Playoffs are still very much in possibility for Davenport.

04:01:12.160 --> 04:01:15.040
And if they keep it up like this, it's not just likely,

04:01:15.040 --> 04:01:16.120
it's almost sure fire,

04:01:16.120 --> 04:01:17.720
because one of the biggest competitions

04:01:17.720 --> 04:01:20.160
is literally the team in front of them.

04:01:20.160 --> 04:01:21.680
Yes, and being able to play this game,

04:01:21.680 --> 04:01:22.880
I think that's part of the tilter.

04:01:22.880 --> 04:01:24.600
This is not just a for fun series.

04:01:24.600 --> 04:01:27.800
This has so many implications for the rest of your semester.

04:01:27.800 --> 04:01:30.120
And so therefore, playing against Damport, a team that you're saying,

04:01:30.120 --> 04:01:32.480
yeah, you might have gotten upset, but we're built different.

04:01:32.480 --> 04:01:33.640
We're not like those other teams.

04:01:33.640 --> 04:01:37.000
Turns out, every team is like those teams because anyone can be anyone,

04:01:37.000 --> 04:01:39.440
and Damport believes in themselves in that regard.

04:01:39.440 --> 04:01:42.520
How many times have we seen a heartbreaker on me at Tokyo?

04:01:42.520 --> 04:01:44.320
Nearly started one with that miss.

04:01:44.320 --> 04:01:45.040
Yo, same clear.

04:01:45.040 --> 04:01:46.760
Look, I'm okay if you guys lose this series.

04:01:46.760 --> 04:01:49.440
It would be heartbreaking to me considering the fact that I predicted.

04:01:49.440 --> 04:01:52.480
Y'all, I'm not okay if you just start crumbling here

04:01:52.480 --> 04:01:54.040
in the final game of the series.

04:01:54.040 --> 04:01:56.200
The shots off target, the misses on defense.

04:01:56.200 --> 04:01:57.520
They've got to be careful.

04:01:57.520 --> 04:01:59.440
I think you nailed it, Taco.

04:01:59.440 --> 04:02:02.040
You said the pace of play, the calamity

04:02:02.040 --> 04:02:04.400
that a gotten poor or intentionally playing with,

04:02:04.400 --> 04:02:06.400
it's getting the Sinclair.

04:02:06.400 --> 04:02:07.760
It's just hard to predict when you have a team

04:02:07.760 --> 04:02:10.760
that will never hesitate to turn on a diamond challenge

04:02:10.760 --> 04:02:11.760
on half rotation.

04:02:11.760 --> 04:02:12.720
Because most of the time in threes,

04:02:12.720 --> 04:02:14.320
you only do that in selective cases.

04:02:14.320 --> 04:02:16.120
Devort, if they see an opportunity, they will go for it.

04:02:16.120 --> 04:02:17.560
But the thing is, everyone buys in on it.

04:02:17.560 --> 04:02:18.560
Everyone's quick to it.

04:02:18.560 --> 04:02:20.760
And everyone sets up wide open plays like this.

04:02:20.760 --> 04:02:23.800
I think Cam might have overcooked that one as Jazzy

04:02:23.800 --> 04:02:27.260
where the last ditch effort to this boost tank is able to clear that out.

04:02:27.260 --> 04:02:28.940
At least it's an eye for an eye here.

04:02:28.940 --> 04:02:32.740
Both teams have an opportunity, and neither one of them able to convert so far.

04:02:32.740 --> 04:02:34.300
And we go through the first-minute scoreless.

04:02:34.300 --> 04:02:38.820
Jazzy, you're very late to that, so you'll go for the bump and Vash will go for the back up.

04:02:38.820 --> 04:02:42.120
How on earth has Davenport not scored?

04:02:42.120 --> 04:02:45.420
And somehow it's all goal-line defense, Jazzy, with the redirect procs.

04:02:45.420 --> 04:02:47.700
Is she gonna get off the wall wrong?

04:02:47.700 --> 04:02:51.560
The timing goes wrong, but everything right for Sinclair.

04:02:51.560 --> 04:02:53.200
Not like this!

04:02:53.200 --> 04:02:55.040
That can't be how this goes!

04:02:55.040 --> 04:03:00.220
Jazzy gets the shot, it's a pretty one, but Block just gets tripped up, coming off the side post.

04:03:00.220 --> 04:03:06.600
Can't make this save, and if there was anything to take the win down on the Sales of Davenport, it's giving up a goal like that.

04:03:07.020 --> 04:03:09.420
Looks like he was trying to get a wave dash into the clear of the problem.

04:03:09.420 --> 04:03:11.040
Is that going to go wrong in so many ways?

04:03:11.040 --> 04:03:14.000
But hey, Rock could maybe get it right back if not for Jazzy.

04:03:14.000 --> 04:03:16.420
Always throwin' that back line, get in the dunk as well.

04:03:16.420 --> 04:03:18.060
Can he get another continuation?

04:03:18.060 --> 04:03:21.160
The catch is really something, but he's going to have to hand it off to Vash.

04:03:21.160 --> 04:03:26.640
Vech though, time is faced and a challenge from Brock that will be the only reason he doesn't do something mechanical.

04:03:26.640 --> 04:03:32.520
Jazzy tried for something mechanical as well, pass out center though, won't get side of bite and I think that's a huge difference.

04:03:32.520 --> 04:03:37.880
St. Clair, they did not headstate on sending the second man, but now I think they realize that they can just keep the pressure on

04:03:37.880 --> 04:03:40.920
and allow Davenport to just play it back to them out of midfield.

04:03:40.920 --> 04:03:44.400
They give themselves a way better chance at controlling this offense.

04:03:44.400 --> 04:03:49.040
Davenport trying to keep it high and knowing that St. Clair isn't challenging immediately

04:03:49.040 --> 04:03:51.040
and even have them be on speed.

04:03:51.040 --> 04:03:52.040
They go on mechanics as well.

04:03:52.040 --> 04:03:54.280
Let's double tap again from Bolziva Vesce.

04:03:54.280 --> 04:03:57.400
Susses that one out and with a heavy deflection, Sy's got to be careful.

04:03:57.400 --> 04:04:01.440
That's a fake but that's what Brock was waiting for, another high lob and Jazzy was waiting

04:04:01.440 --> 04:04:02.440
for it.

04:04:02.440 --> 04:04:05.440
Not only getting the first touch but I would say a pinch if not for the deflection.

04:04:05.440 --> 04:04:07.160
That's two players colliding from Davenport though.

04:04:07.160 --> 04:04:09.480
I don't know how prepared they'll be for a counter attack.

04:04:09.480 --> 04:04:10.480
I was incorrect.

04:04:10.480 --> 04:04:14.360
The follow-up touch though needs to be on target and they make no contact with

04:04:14.360 --> 04:04:18.160
whatsoever the passing play on the other end will not miss the mark as it gets

04:04:18.160 --> 04:04:21.800
sent intentionally to the backboard but both he is there cam fires it to the

04:04:21.800 --> 04:04:25.080
opposite corner and now here's the problem with Davenport at with this

04:04:25.080 --> 04:04:28.480
go-go-go-go-go offense they just start throwing the ball away and with a

04:04:28.480 --> 04:04:31.600
St. Clair who become more hesitant and a lot more patient they're just gonna

04:04:31.600 --> 04:04:36.000
give away possession side dust it that's one's wide open but Brock does

04:04:36.000 --> 04:04:39.320
have it nearly enough boost he's gonna barely miss both he puts it right

04:04:39.320 --> 04:04:43.780
back that's gotta be it from Kim and yet Jazzy is a wall.

04:04:43.780 --> 04:04:44.780
He does not jump.

04:04:44.780 --> 04:04:46.900
He knows that Kim's gonna try to play that over him

04:04:46.900 --> 04:04:48.780
and just muscle it through so just stay planted

04:04:48.780 --> 04:04:50.300
and get the best fit he possible.

04:04:50.300 --> 04:04:53.100
There he heads up play and a headcuff away

04:04:53.100 --> 04:04:55.060
as you respond from the skies.

04:04:55.060 --> 04:04:56.740
Sigh drops it on their head.

04:04:56.740 --> 04:04:58.700
It's 2-0 St. Clair.

04:04:58.700 --> 04:04:59.860
And that's with pure fundamentals.

04:04:59.860 --> 04:05:00.740
He knows it's wide open.

04:05:00.740 --> 04:05:02.380
He just has to get it below that bar

04:05:02.380 --> 04:05:04.180
and he does not miss from there.

04:05:04.180 --> 04:05:06.460
You wouldn't expect him to impure Sigh.

04:05:06.460 --> 04:05:07.500
And always dangerous.

04:05:07.500 --> 04:05:10.420
Vesha's been elite on the scoreboard, he's got an assist,

04:05:10.420 --> 04:05:12.260
he's got a save, he's a bit of an everyman.

04:05:12.260 --> 04:05:14.500
This game, what you do need, you need everyone

04:05:14.500 --> 04:05:16.940
to be able to peek, to be able to get this series over with,

04:05:16.940 --> 04:05:19.660
and more importantly, to say Claire, the force of game five,

04:05:19.660 --> 04:05:21.660
heavy deflection, Jazzy, I don't know if he has it,

04:05:21.660 --> 04:05:23.660
cleanly, but he has it enough.

04:05:23.660 --> 04:05:24.980
How did he get that touch?

04:05:24.980 --> 04:05:25.980
That strength of the ceiling,

04:05:25.980 --> 04:05:27.260
and he keeps it close to himself.

04:05:27.260 --> 04:05:28.460
It doesn't turn into anything,

04:05:28.460 --> 04:05:30.860
but Brock is saying, hey, you had a clean touch,

04:05:30.860 --> 04:05:33.380
I've got a better one, and I've got both of you

04:05:33.380 --> 04:05:34.540
on the follow up.

04:05:34.540 --> 04:05:36.100
So they're actually gonna say Cam's got him,

04:05:36.100 --> 04:05:37.460
But Kim did not.

04:05:37.460 --> 04:05:39.380
They're lucky that this one goes in.

04:05:39.380 --> 04:05:40.980
And Kim just had a rough day of shooting,

04:05:40.980 --> 04:05:42.480
but it's not always his fault.

04:05:42.480 --> 04:05:43.780
St. Clair has been in the way.

04:05:43.780 --> 04:05:44.820
They've been getting their saves.

04:05:44.820 --> 04:05:45.940
And that one, at the very least,

04:05:45.940 --> 04:05:47.860
does have a third man following up.

04:05:47.860 --> 04:05:50.740
Bulty keeping it in the realm of the doable here

04:05:50.740 --> 04:05:51.780
for Davenport.

04:05:51.780 --> 04:05:53.940
And even St. Clair is starting to click again.

04:05:53.940 --> 04:05:55.740
They're never too far away, though.

04:05:55.740 --> 04:05:58.020
That Davenport can't mount that comeback.

04:05:58.020 --> 04:05:58.940
Bulty on the backboard.

04:05:58.940 --> 04:06:00.340
Looking for something to clear the lanes.

04:06:00.340 --> 04:06:01.380
He just can't find it.

04:06:01.380 --> 04:06:03.700
And Sy's going to snipe the top right.

04:06:03.700 --> 04:06:05.580
Salt in the wounds here as Taco.

04:06:05.580 --> 04:06:07.740
We got a minute 20 to go, but we're looking more and more

04:06:07.740 --> 04:06:09.780
likely for Champions field.

04:06:09.780 --> 04:06:11.780
That's an unforced error from Bolton, unfortunately.

04:06:11.780 --> 04:06:12.260
That's an error.

04:06:12.260 --> 04:06:13.500
Well, he's done it 1,000 times.

04:06:13.500 --> 04:06:14.700
But unfortunately, I think he tried

04:06:14.700 --> 04:06:15.940
to get around it to flick in the middle,

04:06:15.940 --> 04:06:17.460
because he saw a player already up.

04:06:17.460 --> 04:06:19.460
But in doing so, he actually under hit it,

04:06:19.460 --> 04:06:21.140
gets a wide open shot.

04:06:21.140 --> 04:06:23.140
Well, we always know how that ends.

04:06:23.140 --> 04:06:24.940
Yeah, you're not going to miss at this level.

04:06:24.940 --> 04:06:26.900
And unfortunately, for that important,

04:06:26.900 --> 04:06:28.580
I think they've missed a lot of their best opportunities

04:06:28.580 --> 04:06:32.260
in this game, especially early here in game number four.

04:06:32.260 --> 04:06:34.340
That's not necessarily out of the realm of possibilities,

04:06:34.340 --> 04:06:37.660
But I do think that St. Clair has corrected a lot of the issues they had earlier on.

04:06:37.660 --> 04:06:40.300
I don't think that they're allowing Davenport to set the pace of play.

04:06:40.300 --> 04:06:43.820
They're allowing Davenport to have these more aggressive touches to send it back out to midfield.

04:06:43.820 --> 04:06:46.340
And they're just going, all right, man, send it back to us.

04:06:46.340 --> 04:06:48.780
We'll re-control, repossess, and star all over again.

04:06:50.380 --> 04:06:54.340
Bess going to call off Jassy, which is probably the best opportunity thing,

04:06:54.340 --> 04:06:57.540
is it leaves a bit of space in the midfield as both he was up for this one,

04:06:57.540 --> 04:06:58.300
but not high enough.

04:06:58.300 --> 04:07:01.860
That pass had a bit too much sauce, but Sy has just enough to be caught.

04:07:01.860 --> 04:07:03.420
Let's find Vesha on the pre-jump,

04:07:03.420 --> 04:07:05.560
taking a page out of Davenport playbook on that one.

04:07:05.560 --> 04:07:06.980
I think he got a bit of a go-stache too.

04:07:06.980 --> 04:07:09.100
I'm pretty sure that he thought that one was gonna be in,

04:07:09.100 --> 04:07:11.700
but unfortunately the ping had other options.

04:07:11.700 --> 04:07:14.100
It's okay, thinking just through this instead.

04:07:14.100 --> 04:07:15.980
Four-one, now it's starting to look more

04:07:15.980 --> 04:07:18.020
like game one of the series.

04:07:18.020 --> 04:07:19.260
Nothing else on this series.

04:07:19.260 --> 04:07:20.700
Win would be great, but if nothing else,

04:07:20.700 --> 04:07:22.860
Vesha's climbing the staff leaderboard for goals.

04:07:22.860 --> 04:07:24.060
I mean, he's been ridiculous.

04:07:24.060 --> 04:07:25.220
I don't even know the average.

04:07:25.220 --> 04:07:28.140
I'm sure you have that a lot at your disposal, Ves.

04:07:28.140 --> 04:07:30.460
But again, that just shows Vesha's such a reliable play.

04:07:30.460 --> 04:07:33.800
just chuck it anywhere near him in the air on the attacking third and you know

04:07:33.800 --> 04:07:36.520
that what's going on target. I do want to give some credit where it's through as

04:07:36.520 --> 04:07:40.380
well. Vesha is absolutely putting on a clinic here. That's his eighth goal in four

04:07:40.380 --> 04:07:44.160
games. He is still averaging two goals per game, which is just ridiculous. The

04:07:44.160 --> 04:07:47.480
thing that only makes it more impressive is that, um, yeah, well, guess what?

04:07:47.480 --> 04:07:50.860
Guess who's giving it to them? It's Jazzy. He has set the assist through

04:07:50.860 --> 04:07:53.800
these four games as well. The two of them have just been throwing it back

04:07:53.800 --> 04:07:57.280
and forth and almost every single time it comes up with a goal. This has

04:07:57.280 --> 04:08:00.800
been an impressive response from St. Clair after a game three where we had many

04:08:00.800 --> 04:08:04.440
of questions we now have our answers and the answer is game five we're at a

04:08:04.440 --> 04:08:09.640
champions field for our final series of the semester. Well I have it no other way

04:08:09.640 --> 04:08:14.120
on broadcast be able to close it out with a game five series and I was saying

04:08:14.120 --> 04:08:17.080
that I think this one could be back and forth but this one is like really

04:08:17.080 --> 04:08:21.440
back and forth we got two close series wins or game wins from Davenport and

04:08:21.440 --> 04:08:23.960
then St. Clair more or less just blow them out of the water when they do

04:08:23.960 --> 04:08:27.240
win so they either win big or lose close and that's a I guess a decent

04:08:27.240 --> 04:08:29.440
in the world and we're going

04:08:29.440 --> 04:08:30.500
to have to do this. We'll have

04:08:30.500 --> 04:08:32.080
to get in the right direction

04:08:32.080 --> 04:08:33.680
and get in the right, but we

04:08:33.680 --> 04:08:35.080
don't have an avenue to occupy

04:08:35.080 --> 04:08:36.040
if you're saying Claire, but

04:08:36.040 --> 04:08:36.980
they're gonna have to lock in

04:08:36.980 --> 04:08:38.980
because as we've learned from

04:08:38.980 --> 04:08:40.240
the semester of CRL and really

04:08:40.240 --> 04:08:41.880
in a microcosm here in this

04:08:41.880 --> 04:08:44.480
series, it is completely

04:08:44.480 --> 04:08:46.080
unpredictable. We have no

04:08:46.080 --> 04:08:46.880
idea what could happen here

04:08:46.880 --> 04:08:47.920
in this in this final game.

04:08:47.920 --> 04:08:48.920
But we appreciate you guys

04:08:48.920 --> 04:08:49.520
coming along for the ride

04:08:49.520 --> 04:08:52.360
again, a reminder to those at

04:08:52.360 --> 04:08:53.320
home. This is our final

04:08:53.320 --> 04:08:54.160
series here on broadcast our

04:08:54.160 --> 04:08:54.800
final game on broadcast for

04:08:54.800 --> 04:08:56.160
the semester will still be a

04:08:56.160 --> 04:08:56.960
couple more going on

04:08:56.960 --> 04:09:00.800
for the main broadcast. This is the best thing we could have asked for man. We wanted a game five

04:09:00.800 --> 04:09:06.720
we wanted a nail biter. This is all of that and more. And being able to take it to game five is

04:09:06.720 --> 04:09:12.240
great. But also again we want to remind everyone of the stakes here. These teams are playing for

04:09:12.240 --> 04:09:18.480
that final spot in the top four which essentially skips the entirety of the L. C. Q. You get a

04:09:18.480 --> 04:09:23.680
massive buy in guaranteed into our spring championship with both teams are very much

04:09:23.680 --> 04:09:27.520
thinking they could do you have to believe that you are capable of getting

04:09:27.520 --> 04:09:31.800
into that final spot but it starts here with a win one loss and that dream is

04:09:31.800 --> 04:09:36.400
effectively shattered for most of them and Davenport has a lot of games in hand

04:09:36.400 --> 04:09:40.480
but that just means it's even more variability can they lock in one more

04:09:40.480 --> 04:09:45.880
time or is it gonna be St. Clair again our defending back-to-back CRL champs

04:09:45.880 --> 04:09:50.480
see if they can start off right absolutely off the ceiling and in

04:09:50.480 --> 04:09:57.920
And Jazzy is keeping the streak going on another offensive production for our previous playoff MVP

04:09:58.160 --> 04:10:01.900
For Baltis, thank you dad. So I can't see them before you're gonna go for reset Jay says no

04:10:01.900 --> 04:10:08.300
I'm just gonna go for pure power and pop it right over sometimes the best goals are the simplest ones especially when they come right off

04:10:08.300 --> 04:10:10.760
The kickoff and that's the opposite of the duo

04:10:10.760 --> 04:10:16.420
We've most mostly seen this would be the opposite of the expectations as immediately Balti makes a challenge

04:10:16.420 --> 04:10:18.540
But honestly, again, as we've said,

04:10:18.540 --> 04:10:21.020
it has been Jazzy and Vech who have been the one-two punch

04:10:21.020 --> 04:10:23.260
combo that is necessary for St. Clair.

04:10:23.260 --> 04:10:25.100
However, that's Jazzy's only fourth goal,

04:10:25.100 --> 04:10:27.100
and that is Vech's only third assist.

04:10:27.100 --> 04:10:28.500
It's usually the opposite.

04:10:28.500 --> 04:10:29.820
Let's see if Baby Sy can get involved

04:10:29.820 --> 04:10:30.700
in the scoring as well.

04:10:30.700 --> 04:10:31.740
Jazzy a great 50.

04:10:31.740 --> 04:10:33.300
He won't find another.

04:10:33.300 --> 04:10:36.340
Looks like we might have a bit of tech issues here.

04:10:36.340 --> 04:10:37.660
Yeah, I saw that disconnect.

04:10:37.660 --> 04:10:38.860
And we're going to pause this one

04:10:38.860 --> 04:10:41.020
so we can make sure everybody's all ready to play.

04:10:41.020 --> 04:10:43.220
Yeah, I don't know what Sy can commit it, but he got,

04:10:43.220 --> 04:10:45.420
or Jazzy, he got to smite it quickly on that one.

04:10:45.420 --> 04:10:48.220
but luckily he is back and it is not too big of a deal.

04:10:48.220 --> 04:10:48.980
They're all laughs of it.

04:10:48.980 --> 04:10:49.980
They don't know what happened there.

04:10:49.980 --> 04:10:52.420
So we're just going to quickly reset from kickoff

04:10:52.420 --> 04:10:55.860
and figure out how we actually get the time back on

04:10:55.860 --> 04:10:57.260
as we confer with our referee.

04:10:57.260 --> 04:10:59.460
But we were able to catch that one quickly.

04:10:59.460 --> 04:11:02.340
So players are not really too perturbed by it.

04:11:02.340 --> 04:11:04.020
And it looks like everyone is ready.

04:11:04.020 --> 04:11:05.380
So best we can get right back into it.

04:11:05.380 --> 04:11:06.780
Not often you get a timeout, but I

04:11:06.780 --> 04:11:09.660
usually want to save it beyond just the in-game

04:11:09.660 --> 04:11:11.220
technical timeout.

04:11:11.220 --> 04:11:13.740
We appreciate our admins thoroughly for just immediately

04:11:13.740 --> 04:11:16.980
being on top of that one. They saw the disconnect, paused it as soon as physically possible, and

04:11:16.980 --> 04:11:20.560
immediately are getting back to it. Make sure everyone is prepared to play. Again,

04:11:20.560 --> 04:11:24.860
we appreciate your opportunity here today, man. This is the excellence that CRL has

04:11:24.860 --> 04:11:27.740
to offer through the players, the people working behind the scenes, through all of you

04:11:27.740 --> 04:11:30.900
lovely folks at home. We're hoping to give you guys a show. We want this to be as

04:11:30.900 --> 04:11:35.220
fair a show as possible, which means off the kickoff, you're back to a 1-0. The

04:11:35.220 --> 04:11:39.540
single goal for St. Clair will stand, but still a lot of time left for Davenport

04:11:39.540 --> 04:11:43.300
to respond. Especially if they can dance through and get a bump.

04:11:43.300 --> 04:11:46.620
It's Jazzy, I think he actually did get tagged and he still got that aerial off.

04:11:46.620 --> 04:11:50.380
Got to be super frustrating for Davenport, especially if it does lead to something more.

04:11:50.380 --> 04:11:53.900
Vash trying to slow things down and does the result any week clear.

04:11:53.900 --> 04:11:57.540
Now he's turning for a demo side. 50, Brock, he's backwards.

04:11:57.540 --> 04:11:59.700
He's trying up on Bolty. He's inside of his own goal.

04:11:59.700 --> 04:12:02.100
That's a triple tap, if not for Kamp.

04:12:02.100 --> 04:12:04.980
Jazzy was hoping he had just a little bit more time on that one.

04:12:04.980 --> 04:12:06.420
He had the flipper he set in the bag.

04:12:06.420 --> 04:12:08.220
He was hoping maybe he'd be able to use it.

04:12:08.220 --> 04:12:13.100
Unfortunately, he cannot. Instead, his teammates will look for passing play in front of the net that doesn't quite connect.

04:12:13.100 --> 04:12:16.280
Jazzy throws this one out center, and that's both Brock and Boalti committing.

04:12:16.280 --> 04:12:20.040
The good thing is that Brock got a pretty nice touch, so he'll at least be able to clear his midfield,

04:12:20.040 --> 04:12:22.620
and now he'll get a chance for Cam to play some defense as well.

04:12:22.620 --> 04:12:25.020
He'll miss the ball, but so will the follow-up shot.

04:12:25.020 --> 04:12:27.520
He'll make the save on the next play!

04:12:27.520 --> 04:12:31.160
And Cam, after a bit of a low light, will show a very much highlight!

04:12:31.460 --> 04:12:34.180
And he gotta make up for it somehow, but hey, Zai, he's still around.

04:12:34.180 --> 04:12:36.300
He's looking for a double cams as I've seen that before.

04:12:36.300 --> 04:12:37.540
Not his time.

04:12:37.540 --> 04:12:39.300
Catch and carry to the midfield.

04:12:39.300 --> 04:12:41.740
Scoop and a half to Balti as he's gonna beat them

04:12:41.740 --> 04:12:43.780
close to coast, Davenport.

04:12:43.780 --> 04:12:45.180
How do you do it?

04:12:45.180 --> 04:12:46.900
It just got a stay resilient.

04:12:46.900 --> 04:12:48.420
That's exactly what Davenport did.

04:12:48.420 --> 04:12:49.820
It was a couple of mistakes on defense,

04:12:49.820 --> 04:12:51.620
but they do not miss the mark on offense

04:12:51.620 --> 04:12:53.780
and Cam immediately there for the follow up.

04:12:53.780 --> 04:12:55.900
We said this was the problem for St. Clair.

04:12:55.900 --> 04:12:58.660
There is no hesitation from anybody on Davenport.

04:12:58.660 --> 04:12:59.820
They get an opportunity.

04:12:59.820 --> 04:13:03.100
You all can't be sure they're gonna follow it up.

04:13:03.100 --> 04:13:04.560
That's just pure faith as well from Goldy.

04:13:04.560 --> 04:13:05.640
I mean, he doesn't have a great aerial,

04:13:05.640 --> 04:13:07.600
but he knows it's all relying on getting that flicking.

04:13:07.600 --> 04:13:09.100
The camp gets a flicking out of the best race

04:13:09.100 --> 04:13:10.540
that we've seen on the day.

04:13:10.540 --> 04:13:12.700
And now there's room for improvement as well.

04:13:12.700 --> 04:13:13.940
Cam over the top.

04:13:13.940 --> 04:13:15.180
She's a little late to this one.

04:13:15.180 --> 04:13:16.340
Brock back post.

04:13:16.340 --> 04:13:19.300
Jazzy uses that one, the third high,

04:13:19.300 --> 04:13:21.040
to see that shot coming.

04:13:21.040 --> 04:13:23.080
Not going to be able to sneak it past all too easily.

04:13:23.080 --> 04:13:24.340
It's going to take the motion,

04:13:24.340 --> 04:13:26.080
or to get a goal here in game five.

04:13:26.080 --> 04:13:29.480
And that's already been shown at multiple different points.

04:13:29.480 --> 04:13:32.380
Psy, try to get something started here from the side wall.

04:13:32.380 --> 04:13:33.900
And a lot of boost and a lot of space.

04:13:33.900 --> 04:13:34.980
Actually a little extra space.

04:13:34.980 --> 04:13:37.980
There's a double reset almost makes its way in.

04:13:37.980 --> 04:13:39.060
Brock said, not today.

04:13:39.060 --> 04:13:41.860
I am not getting clipped on.

04:13:41.860 --> 04:13:43.340
However, Veshtel has an angle.

04:13:43.340 --> 04:13:44.420
Volte could pre-jump.

04:13:44.420 --> 04:13:46.180
His Brock actually jumps at a plate.

04:13:46.180 --> 04:13:48.980
I was not a fan of it, but he's able to get that read away.

04:13:48.980 --> 04:13:50.940
Problem is, they got almost nothing in the tank.

04:13:50.940 --> 04:13:52.660
And St. Clair might sniff it.

04:13:52.660 --> 04:13:54.380
Side low shot cam.

04:13:54.380 --> 04:13:56.420
Not going to be disturbed on that near side.

04:13:56.420 --> 04:13:57.220
As that important.

04:13:57.220 --> 04:13:59.340
Slowly starting to solidify the boost totals.

04:13:59.340 --> 04:14:00.900
And they will eventually get there clear.

04:14:00.900 --> 04:14:03.580
I like the idea. Try to sneak it low. You're expecting a shot high.

04:14:03.580 --> 04:14:05.980
See, maybe you can just snipe the bottom left corner.

04:14:05.980 --> 04:14:07.860
If that'll be enough, it wasn't quite.

04:14:07.860 --> 04:14:11.140
But Davenport's still struggling to get away from you, said bottom left corner.

04:14:11.140 --> 04:14:14.540
As another shot goes against them in Sigh now, and sent it back in the half.

04:14:14.540 --> 04:14:20.620
No boost for anybody on Davenport, which means eventually they will leave this net open.

04:14:20.620 --> 04:14:24.180
Jazzy seizes the moment, and it's 2-1 Sinclair.

04:14:24.180 --> 04:14:26.380
Now, Cam's on low boost. He's trying to aim for that corner,

04:14:26.380 --> 04:14:28.500
so it goes up the line, instead of bouncing off the side wall.

04:14:28.500 --> 04:14:30.700
I mean, Jesse was playing pure prediction on that one.

04:14:30.700 --> 04:14:33.060
He was in opposition for, I think, well, Kamp was intended,

04:14:33.060 --> 04:14:35.380
but he was ready for that deflection.

04:14:35.380 --> 04:14:36.620
You want to go to his middle, and of course,

04:14:36.620 --> 04:14:38.260
he's never going to miss it from there.

04:14:38.260 --> 04:14:39.100
Wide open net.

04:14:39.100 --> 04:14:41.220
And again, all three players of St. Clair

04:14:41.220 --> 04:14:43.700
showing clinical efficiency in front of them.

04:14:43.700 --> 04:14:46.100
This has been a very good game from St. Clair so far.

04:14:46.100 --> 04:14:48.580
Very few mistakes, and honestly, the biggest issue

04:14:48.580 --> 04:14:50.660
is that Davenport, even if they do see a mistake,

04:14:50.660 --> 04:14:52.220
they just haven't seized the moment.

04:14:52.220 --> 04:14:53.940
We've talked a lot about how quick this team is

04:14:53.940 --> 04:14:56.380
to react to so many mistakes and blunders on defense,

04:14:56.380 --> 04:14:57.660
and if they can't find those,

04:14:57.660 --> 04:15:00.460
it's going to get more and more difficult for them to find their opening.

04:15:00.460 --> 04:15:03.100
Their first goal they've done was off of an intentional miss shot off the

04:15:03.100 --> 04:15:04.580
backboard and then a follow up.

04:15:04.580 --> 04:15:07.500
St. Clair had read that, it wouldn't have even been a goal, but instead,

04:15:07.500 --> 04:15:11.620
they have to find new creative ways to get through and how to stop this offense.

04:15:11.620 --> 04:15:12.620
That's the initial save.

04:15:12.620 --> 04:15:13.300
Where's the follow?

04:15:13.300 --> 04:15:14.660
Not there in time.

04:15:14.660 --> 04:15:18.500
As the side can get back past the mesh and keep the offense going.

04:15:18.500 --> 04:15:19.460
They're so good right now.

04:15:19.460 --> 04:15:22.460
And you can see St. Clair, this is a mode that they play in that everyone

04:15:22.460 --> 04:15:23.460
is so terrified of.

04:15:23.460 --> 04:15:26.580
Just chasing the ball down, playing possession and trying to train down

04:15:26.580 --> 04:15:32.780
that clock, 70 seconds away from St. Clair being able to ice out a series that they really had to fight for.

04:15:32.780 --> 04:15:37.980
Oh good reset though from Brock. He ain't only able to stay around for the 50. Where's the follow-up from Davenport?

04:15:37.980 --> 04:15:43.780
It's not there in time! Two players, two at both E and Cam. I don't think they communicated who's taking the shot.

04:15:43.780 --> 04:15:48.480
And in doing so, the shot that does arrive is Black Luster, and that's me putting it very mildly.

04:15:48.480 --> 04:15:51.980
Underneath the minute to play Davenport, I don't know if you're gonna get many chances like that.

04:15:51.980 --> 04:15:53.680
You need to do something with them.

04:15:53.680 --> 04:16:00.960
Brock Barrelly gets on top of this one and now mesh is head hunting but unfortunately he will get hunted camp with a demo on the counter high lob

04:16:00.960 --> 04:16:06.480
Bech gonna have to haul inside to be able to bail him out on this one Brock not able to get much on this one

04:16:06.480 --> 04:16:10.480
But the hide of flexion means that Jazzy can just put it on target with side lurking down field

04:16:10.600 --> 04:16:12.920
No touch but the clock keeps on running

04:16:13.400 --> 04:16:18.840
Chance for Fesh to keep this offense going and ping dabbing port back in in their own half waste valuable seconds

04:16:18.840 --> 04:16:21.360
Thank you, not a Ford could be a breakout for Brock

04:16:21.360 --> 04:16:24.860
But he's real awkward against Vesh. He knows he's lurking. He knows all St. Clair

04:16:24.860 --> 04:16:30.320
They're just to keep the pressure on so instead it's gonna require cam with a passing play Brock a good 50

04:16:30.320 --> 04:16:35.080
Where is cam for the follow the night on the line both need to keep this one alive?

04:16:35.080 --> 04:16:38.160
But if it hits the ground weren't done saying Claire

04:16:38.760 --> 04:16:40.760
Survive in Davenport

04:16:41.120 --> 04:16:45.520
Unfortunately for them their chances of making playoffs don't mean it significantly

04:16:45.520 --> 04:16:52.520
Excellent clutch coming in from St. Clair, but also three saves on seven shots from Jazzy.

04:16:52.520 --> 04:16:54.520
He was doing everything possible.

04:16:54.520 --> 04:16:58.520
We talked about Syme, we talked about Bech, but it turns out all three players on a really good team

04:16:58.520 --> 04:17:02.520
on a back-to-back-to-back semester champion, potentially.

04:17:02.520 --> 04:17:05.520
And St. Clair are very good at this game, and they show it right there.

04:17:05.520 --> 04:17:09.520
Excellent job by them four. It's why I picked them, but, you know, I can't get them all right.

04:17:09.520 --> 04:17:13.520
St. Clair, show the ice, and there's a reason why they are always in contention.

04:17:13.520 --> 04:17:15.520
the very best CRL has to offer.

04:17:15.520 --> 04:17:19.520
Yeah, this is a team that I know we had some questions about how much, you know,

04:17:19.520 --> 04:17:24.520
would they drop down in rankings after the leaving of Arju as he goes to St.

04:17:24.520 --> 04:17:25.520
or as he goes to the Maryville.

04:17:25.520 --> 04:17:29.520
The thing is, Vesha is just that guy, man. He's so incredibly good.

04:17:29.520 --> 04:17:32.520
And I know that we didn't get to talk a ton about him in the final game there,

04:17:32.520 --> 04:17:37.520
but Vesha again also, excuse me, PSY, again also putting up not only incredible performance on offense,

04:17:37.520 --> 04:17:39.520
but defense and across the board here.

04:17:39.520 --> 04:17:43.900
here. Jazzy, I think we've talked about this before. There's a reason we said the MVP or

04:17:43.900 --> 04:17:48.460
unofficial MVP of last playoffs in the last semester. It's because when push comes to the

04:17:48.460 --> 04:17:53.440
shove, there is not a single guy in all the teams who is more clutch. This dude, he

04:17:53.440 --> 04:17:56.480
truly turns into a diamond when the pressure is on the most.

04:17:56.480 --> 04:18:00.400
Yeah, it's a terrifying thing to even contemplate playing against St. Clair like this, but also

04:18:00.400 --> 04:18:04.440
it just shows the parity is slowly getting there. Davenport was a team that was really

04:18:04.440 --> 04:18:07.680
struggling even to make main events, be able to get some points on the board.

04:18:07.680 --> 04:18:12.340
Now they are going toe to toe with one of the best teams that we do have within CRL.

04:18:12.340 --> 04:18:16.300
So the potential is there, but we have to ultimately focus on the binary outcome.

04:18:16.300 --> 04:18:18.420
It's either a series win or it's a series loss.

04:18:18.420 --> 04:18:22.260
And even though their chances do diminish, there's still a lot of games to play for

04:18:22.260 --> 04:18:23.540
other teams in the league.

04:18:23.540 --> 04:18:26.140
However, we'll say Claire, as you said, they have to win out.

04:18:26.140 --> 04:18:28.180
And that's just one step a little bit closer.

04:18:28.180 --> 04:18:30.220
So they're just trying to focus on everything ahead of them.

04:18:30.220 --> 04:18:33.980
But right, goodness, I mean, every series tonight has been spectacular.

04:18:33.980 --> 04:18:36.420
We love to see it to be able to close out week five.

04:18:36.420 --> 04:18:38.260
Yeah, this is everything we could have hoped for here.

04:18:38.260 --> 04:18:39.800
And now we also get a little bit of a picture

04:18:39.800 --> 04:18:41.520
of how the rest of the week is going to go.

04:18:41.520 --> 04:18:42.680
It's catch up to St. Clair.

04:18:42.680 --> 04:18:44.000
St. Clair have now set the floor.

04:18:44.000 --> 04:18:46.680
If you have five losses, or excuse me,

04:18:46.680 --> 04:18:47.840
more than five losses,

04:18:47.840 --> 04:18:50.520
you physically cannot make playoffs anymore.

04:18:50.520 --> 04:18:51.400
That is what they have done

04:18:51.400 --> 04:18:52.880
because that is their final game this semester.

04:18:52.880 --> 04:18:54.160
That is officially their 15th game.

04:18:54.160 --> 04:18:55.960
They will go 10 and five plus 11

04:18:55.960 --> 04:18:57.480
as their final differential.

04:18:57.480 --> 04:18:58.880
The next couple of teams I can pass them

04:18:58.880 --> 04:19:00.120
can do it through again,

04:19:00.120 --> 04:19:02.120
making sure that they do not travel in five games

04:19:02.120 --> 04:19:04.680
and getting over that plus 11 differential

04:19:04.680 --> 04:19:05.940
because unfortunately, St. Clair

04:19:05.940 --> 04:19:07.160
hasn't really lost to many people.

04:19:07.160 --> 04:19:08.600
So if any of the teams underneath them tie them,

04:19:08.600 --> 04:19:10.640
you can see how that might become a problem.

04:19:10.640 --> 04:19:11.480
But a lot of good or what,

04:19:11.480 --> 04:19:12.800
it should have a lot of breakdown here.

04:19:12.800 --> 04:19:14.680
Instead, we'll let other people talk about it.

04:19:14.680 --> 04:19:16.440
Let's bring back in the desk as we continue on

04:19:16.440 --> 04:19:18.200
with our final series, the night concluded.

04:19:18.200 --> 04:19:21.400
And I don't know about you guys, but I'm sweating.

04:19:21.400 --> 04:19:22.840
That was an insane series.

04:19:22.840 --> 04:19:24.800
Yeah, it was kind of interesting the way it started off.

04:19:24.800 --> 04:19:26.000
He thought it was going to be a hit parade

04:19:26.000 --> 04:19:28.240
or offensive all slot for St. Clair.

04:19:28.240 --> 04:19:31.000
But ultimately, it was the bend, the dope break defense

04:19:31.000 --> 04:19:32.220
that got them through.

04:19:32.220 --> 04:19:33.920
Jigsaw, I want your thoughts about this one.

04:19:33.920 --> 04:19:36.920
because that's something that you couldn't predict going in the way these games shake that.

04:19:36.920 --> 04:19:41.920
Yeah, I mean, you know, Davenport had that fight in them and they certainly showed that.

04:19:41.920 --> 04:19:46.920
I had a myth though, St. Clair always has some of the crispiest shots I've ever witnessed.

04:19:46.920 --> 04:19:52.920
It seems like every time they just slot it, I think in the first couple of games they had how many bar downs go on in?

04:19:52.920 --> 04:19:59.920
They just always find that angle and it's just that execution that St. Clair has that always puts up on top.

04:19:59.920 --> 04:20:05.800
On top of the end of the day they find that clutch moment and they're just able to ice out because of it

04:20:05.800 --> 04:20:13.680
It's really truly amazing watching st. Claire now do what they can with their mechanics with just the play style

04:20:13.680 --> 04:20:19.000
They have as a roster be so seamless at times that report still is a dark horse

04:20:19.000 --> 04:20:24.600
I think a lot of people underestimated them and truly at this point there. I don't think they're lower than eight

04:20:24.600 --> 04:20:29.760
really at the end of the day or close to it if they lose out entirely so they're

04:20:29.760 --> 04:20:35.560
they're doing a really good job of still being in that upper half echelon now of

04:20:35.560 --> 04:20:40.600
zero that we weren't anticipating. Yeah there really was a kind of a fun fall

04:20:40.600 --> 04:20:44.120
experiment going into the series but whether or not Davenport could end up

04:20:44.120 --> 04:20:48.080
on top wasn't going to be the case but how funny that could have been if

04:20:48.080 --> 04:20:51.720
that were to happen. I gotta ask you though because you're the most analytical

04:20:51.720 --> 04:20:56.040
person here on the desk. You're just like a brain a half man. I love it. I'm going to

04:20:56.040 --> 04:21:00.120
talk to you about the fact that even though they found a way to win technically, there

04:21:00.120 --> 04:21:05.080
really was some signs of player creativity in that mid-page. They found a new meta.

04:21:05.080 --> 04:21:09.640
I'm talking about St. Clair here. I mean St. Clair, the thing is that I usually think

04:21:09.640 --> 04:21:13.240
of like EU teams as like being very possession heavy and being able to like find each other

04:21:13.240 --> 04:21:17.000
in space and all that. But St. Clair has such a flair to them that's really fun to watch

04:21:17.000 --> 04:21:21.400
because they do go for double resets and it works because it's not just doing it for show.

04:21:21.400 --> 04:21:24.460
They're actively doing it because it's unexpected if you're giving them pressure

04:21:24.460 --> 04:21:30.480
You're gonna get punished and I think the big thing about St. Clair that really makes me happy to watch them play at this level and get

04:21:30.480 --> 04:21:33.920
Into those RLCS main events or into those Swiss stages day 3s, etc

04:21:33.920 --> 04:21:37.640
Is because all of them separately can command a game

04:21:37.640 --> 04:21:42.800
I don't think there's a lot of roster you can say well no no every player can peek every single player on St. Clair can

04:21:42.800 --> 04:21:44.480
Be the guy for that game

04:21:44.480 --> 04:21:47.520
And I think there's a lot of teams that know that and because of that they

04:21:47.520 --> 04:21:49.520
I mean, I think they kind of

04:21:49.520 --> 04:21:50.520
play a little bit more anxious

04:21:50.520 --> 04:21:51.520
around St. Clair.

04:21:51.520 --> 04:21:52.520
I think Danport hung in there

04:21:52.520 --> 04:21:53.520
honestly just because they

04:21:53.520 --> 04:21:54.520
didn't respect them because they

04:21:54.520 --> 04:21:55.520
don't respect anyone.

04:21:55.520 --> 04:21:56.520
They just challenged like psychos.

04:21:56.520 --> 04:21:58.520
Almost worked, but St. Clair

04:21:58.520 --> 04:21:59.520
just got that quality.

04:21:59.520 --> 04:22:00.520
As Bass said earlier on,

04:22:00.520 --> 04:22:01.520
there's a team that has a couple

04:22:01.520 --> 04:22:03.520
losses, but it's only to the

04:22:03.520 --> 04:22:04.520
very top teams in CRL, and

04:22:04.520 --> 04:22:05.520
that's for a reason.

04:22:05.520 --> 04:22:06.520
Yeah, I'm with you.

04:22:06.520 --> 04:22:07.520
That feeling of being the guy

04:22:07.520 --> 04:22:08.520
on a squad is something that

04:22:08.520 --> 04:22:09.520
doesn't happen often.

04:22:09.520 --> 04:22:11.520
What it does, it does feel

04:22:11.520 --> 04:22:13.520
like a little bit of a buff

04:22:13.520 --> 04:22:14.520
and well, if there was going

04:22:14.520 --> 04:22:15.520
to be a car of the match,

04:22:15.520 --> 04:22:16.520
a battle car of the match,

04:22:16.520 --> 04:22:20.280
to give it to Vash. He's

04:22:20.280 --> 04:22:21.680
actually going to be our

04:22:21.680 --> 04:22:23.280
interview here today going

04:22:23.280 --> 04:22:24.920
out here with an offensive on

04:22:24.920 --> 04:22:26.320
slot. Got to give it up for

04:22:26.320 --> 04:22:27.520
them in that effort. So

04:22:27.520 --> 04:22:28.720
first of all, thanks you

04:22:28.720 --> 04:22:30.520
watch. Congratulations on the

04:22:30.520 --> 04:22:32.440
dub today, Vash. What? I

04:22:32.440 --> 04:22:34.440
don't know if that was. Yeah,

04:22:34.440 --> 04:22:36.440
that was definitely a

04:22:36.440 --> 04:22:39.640
performance. The games had

04:22:39.640 --> 04:22:42.680
everything. Perfect calls.

04:22:42.680 --> 04:22:44.440
Mrs. Everything. Yeah, okay.

04:22:44.440 --> 04:22:46.440
We'll talk about the misses

04:22:46.440 --> 04:22:50.920
were locked up in the standings going forward. We used to talk about getting ready for this

04:22:50.920 --> 04:22:55.400
matchup. Anything you did differently on the pitch with scrims or did you treat it like any other

04:22:55.400 --> 04:23:02.360
week of league play? Well, we definitely took a bit of a change especially after the losses on

04:23:02.360 --> 04:23:09.080
Thursday. We had a long talk and for the review where basically I got flamed a lot. But I

04:23:09.080 --> 04:23:12.480
I designed it. I love you designed it for sure.

04:23:13.780 --> 04:23:15.420
Hey, you know what? That's, I understand.

04:23:15.420 --> 04:23:17.760
Sometimes you got to blame your, some of your teammates.

04:23:19.760 --> 04:23:22.200
So when you get yourself back into the mental state

04:23:22.200 --> 04:23:24.040
and live a tough love was going out there,

04:23:24.040 --> 04:23:26.240
did it feel like things were already clicking

04:23:26.240 --> 04:23:28.760
or were there's a bit of a time for you to adjust

04:23:28.760 --> 04:23:30.960
what your new objectives was?

04:23:30.960 --> 04:23:32.560
Cause I felt like that first game,

04:23:32.560 --> 04:23:33.600
you were on another level,

04:23:33.600 --> 04:23:34.880
got brought back down to earth

04:23:34.880 --> 04:23:36.640
and then you found a third gear

04:23:36.640 --> 04:23:38.600
in the back half of that series.

04:23:38.600 --> 04:23:45.800
Yeah, we definitely started off strong, then got a little bit more loose, and they also picked it up, so it got way closer.

04:23:46.200 --> 04:23:51.000
There was some unfortunate goals as well, but yeah, we got it in the end for sure.

04:23:52.300 --> 04:23:57.400
You know, as we roll on the next couple of weeks, we've got the last-hats qualifier, we have the spring championships.

04:23:57.400 --> 04:24:03.000
Is there anything going for your mind? Are you thinking about the force for the trees, or is it day by day, game by game, series by series?

04:24:03.000 --> 04:24:06.000
We're definitely thinking about us the most.

04:24:06.000 --> 04:24:07.920
Like we pray for fissure to be between two,

04:24:07.920 --> 04:24:12.920
but mostly about ourselves to play as well as we can.

04:24:13.080 --> 04:24:14.360
Yeah, I mean, it's the sky to limit.

04:24:14.360 --> 04:24:15.480
You think you're gonna walk over to the dub?

04:24:15.480 --> 04:24:17.320
Championships with, do I tell Seb now?

04:24:17.320 --> 04:24:20.280
Do I raise up life for Seb for it?

04:24:20.280 --> 04:24:21.640
Maybe not yet, not yet.

04:24:21.640 --> 04:24:22.880
We'll see, we'll see.

04:24:24.120 --> 04:24:26.400
One of the things I actually enjoyed about your play,

04:24:26.400 --> 04:24:28.640
this series here was that using the wall

04:24:28.640 --> 04:24:30.560
to your advantage, being able to cut through

04:24:30.560 --> 04:24:32.400
and find open spaces.

04:24:32.400 --> 04:24:34.560
I gotta say, was that something that was practiced in the pitch?

04:24:34.560 --> 04:24:36.280
Or did you guys have that team camp?

04:24:36.280 --> 04:24:38.880
Another level, it just felt like it was second nature.

04:24:40.440 --> 04:24:42.120
Again, back to the replay reviews,

04:24:42.120 --> 04:24:44.520
like we definitely saw that we didn't play offensive

04:24:44.520 --> 04:24:47.880
and we couldn't make big pressure on the enemy team.

04:24:47.880 --> 04:24:50.920
And that was mostly because we're not playing through mid.

04:24:50.920 --> 04:24:52.960
And we were just playing towards walls.

04:24:52.960 --> 04:24:55.840
And so we definitely tried to work on that.

04:24:58.800 --> 04:25:00.640
That's how it works.

04:25:00.640 --> 04:25:07.600
It worked. It worked. It worked. It was a show. Definitely fitting of the last match of the stream.

04:25:07.600 --> 04:25:12.480
Vaz, before we get out of here, now is your chance to sound off. Tell us what your supporters are feeling.

04:25:12.480 --> 04:25:15.600
Tell us what the haters are feeling. What's on your mind? Share this all right now.

04:25:16.240 --> 04:25:22.000
Well, shout out to Sam. I saw his reaction to our losses on Thursday. That was definitely funny.

04:25:22.000 --> 04:25:27.120
But shout out to my biggest supporters, James and Nika.

04:25:27.120 --> 04:25:32.120
I think that's a good idea.

04:25:32.120 --> 04:25:36.120
Uh, we got separate users and

04:25:36.120 --> 04:25:38.120
like my friends from home and

04:25:38.120 --> 04:25:41.120
parents and friends from here.

04:25:41.120 --> 04:25:43.120
Absolutely well earned. Well

04:25:43.120 --> 04:25:44.120
deserved. Thank you so much for

04:25:44.120 --> 04:25:49.120
your time. Thank you so much.

04:25:49.120 --> 04:25:52.120
Cool. Com collected is the

04:25:52.120 --> 04:25:54.120
mode operandi of this doing a

04:25:54.120 --> 04:25:56.120
fantastic performance here

04:25:56.120 --> 04:25:58.520
What do you feel about some of the things he said today?

04:26:01.520 --> 04:26:03.000
I think it's just being very honest.

04:26:03.000 --> 04:26:06.000
I think the honest, like the truth is that Vesh,

04:26:06.000 --> 04:26:07.040
and I think all of St. Clair,

04:26:07.040 --> 04:26:09.160
part of the reason that people have been so complimentary of them

04:26:09.160 --> 04:26:11.560
is that they can admit when they're not playing well.

04:26:11.560 --> 04:26:13.520
And I think that's the biggest issue we saw

04:26:13.520 --> 04:26:15.800
is that St. Clair and their previous two series

04:26:15.800 --> 04:26:16.640
that they said they lost,

04:26:16.640 --> 04:26:18.040
yeah, I don't think they were playing

04:26:18.040 --> 04:26:20.000
to the very best of their abilities.

04:26:20.000 --> 04:26:22.240
And because of that, I think it's good

04:26:22.240 --> 04:26:23.600
that teams can come and go,

04:26:23.600 --> 04:26:27.240
Hey guys, we suck! That was bad! We should not do that again!

04:26:27.240 --> 04:26:29.600
And the fact that Vesh is not only taking accountability,

04:26:29.600 --> 04:26:32.640
but that they're recognizing that there is a higher potential for them

04:26:32.640 --> 04:26:35.440
is something I admire of them and I hope all teams do.

04:26:35.440 --> 04:26:39.280
I think there's some, there's true importance to recognizing that, like,

04:26:39.280 --> 04:26:41.240
there is always better you can do.

04:26:41.240 --> 04:26:44.880
I don't care if you are world champions, which they have been!

04:26:44.880 --> 04:26:47.600
Alan St. Clair, there's always room for improvement.

04:26:47.600 --> 04:26:49.000
And I think the fact that they recognize that,

04:26:49.000 --> 04:26:52.040
even in this isolated series, was incredibly impressive.

04:26:52.040 --> 04:26:53.000
Yeah, impressive.

04:26:53.000 --> 04:26:53.500
Definitely.

04:26:53.500 --> 04:26:56.980
Talking about digging deep and finding yourself the dubs.

04:26:56.980 --> 04:27:00.200
Take a look at some of the results that we had today here

04:27:00.200 --> 04:27:01.340
on stream.

04:27:01.340 --> 04:27:02.980
We had four contests back to back.

04:27:02.980 --> 04:27:06.980
We got a double dose of both Concord and some Akron Gold.

04:27:06.980 --> 04:27:09.620
And Akron Blue made some appearance as well.

04:27:09.620 --> 04:27:12.340
Taco, anything surprise you coming off the results

04:27:12.340 --> 04:27:13.540
for today?

04:27:13.540 --> 04:27:15.660
Yeah, Akron Blue and Concord didn't lock in and give us

04:27:15.660 --> 04:27:19.620
four best of fives going to five outside of that.

04:27:19.620 --> 04:27:23.740
I mean, I just love to see that all the teams here are all over the place.

04:27:23.740 --> 04:27:26.420
Honestly, the surprise I think was watching Ball State play against Akron Gold,

04:27:26.420 --> 04:27:28.100
like, wow, they're really locked in.

04:27:28.100 --> 04:27:29.540
You know what, love to see it.

04:27:29.540 --> 04:27:31.500
Let's see the best of luck in their future series.

04:27:31.500 --> 04:27:33.580
And then we immediately saw in reporting 40 minutes later,

04:27:33.580 --> 04:27:34.940
Demport 30 ball state.

04:27:34.940 --> 04:27:37.700
So it's like, oh, well, OK, OK, I guess form doesn't matter.

04:27:37.700 --> 04:27:38.860
Transfer property doesn't matter.

04:27:38.860 --> 04:27:41.100
So there's a lot of stuff going on in this one.

04:27:41.100 --> 04:27:44.780
But I got to say for the amount of quality that we could have had

04:27:44.780 --> 04:27:48.580
across all these weeks, we really closed out week five with four banger series.

04:27:48.580 --> 04:27:55.580
Yeah, absolutely. Again, there's a lot about CR Brown, but even in the last week, we definitely had matches with something to play for.

04:27:55.580 --> 04:28:02.580
Let's take a look at the league play standings over here. We do have some results coming in. St. Clair with their dug with that fourth matchup.

04:28:02.580 --> 04:28:09.580
Baylor can no longer catch them and are eliminated in the top four. Hunt and St. Clair, though, are not locked in.

04:28:09.580 --> 04:28:14.580
The ticket has not been punched, but hey, look, they're that much closer to the promised land.

04:28:14.580 --> 04:28:18.620
and checks any surprises you look at the standing to today.

04:28:18.620 --> 04:28:19.940
Baylor being eliminated,

04:28:19.940 --> 04:28:23.620
I think there's a lot of hype out of this Baylor roster

04:28:23.620 --> 04:28:27.580
and they cannot make it at this point.

04:28:27.580 --> 04:28:30.220
Of course, we've talked a ton about Davenport

04:28:30.220 --> 04:28:31.420
and being that dark horse

04:28:31.420 --> 04:28:34.220
and the fact that they're still in the running is shocking,

04:28:34.220 --> 04:28:36.500
but honestly, St. Clair and Wintour Fisher

04:28:36.500 --> 04:28:39.900
all being up there fighting for that fourth spot.

04:28:40.780 --> 04:28:43.220
We could have seen it being anybody's game.

04:28:43.220 --> 04:28:51.620
And then Maryville Northwood WVU also all that that makes sense are top makes sense.

04:28:51.620 --> 04:28:56.380
The record being so close is what we I think are all a little bit more shocked on and have

04:28:56.380 --> 04:28:59.100
continued to be shocked on this year.

04:28:59.100 --> 04:29:02.780
There isn't a definitive number one in my book right there to me.

04:29:02.780 --> 04:29:05.380
They're all even yeah and pass.

04:29:05.380 --> 04:29:09.060
I know that predictions and rankings are like what you have to do but the top three

04:29:09.060 --> 04:29:12.700
as it is right now are locked in Maryville Northwood in West Virginia where anyone

04:29:12.700 --> 04:29:16.020
of those surprises now we're at the end of semester play.

04:29:16.020 --> 04:29:18.860
I think that West Virginia could be counted as a surprise,

04:29:18.860 --> 04:29:20.940
not necessarily because I'm surprised to see them end up here,

04:29:20.940 --> 04:29:22.300
but because of the way that they started.

04:29:22.300 --> 04:29:24.540
And again, that's another team that kind of had a real,

04:29:24.540 --> 04:29:26.100
like, you know, hard-dark conversation to be like,

04:29:26.100 --> 04:29:28.340
guys, we're not playing at the level that we're supposed to.

04:29:28.340 --> 04:29:29.420
We should be better than this.

04:29:29.420 --> 04:29:31.380
We have the capabilities of being better than this.

04:29:31.380 --> 04:29:33.260
It's time for us to lock in and prove that.

04:29:33.260 --> 04:29:34.860
And I'm glad to see that they did,

04:29:34.860 --> 04:29:38.020
because again, they went on eight straight victories

04:29:38.020 --> 04:29:39.980
in order to get to this position.

04:29:39.980 --> 04:29:41.220
Before they started this,

04:29:41.220 --> 04:29:42.860
I'm trying to make sure to get the math in my head.

04:29:42.860 --> 04:29:45.180
I think they were two and four, or no, excuse me,

04:29:45.180 --> 04:29:47.060
three and four before they started this,

04:29:47.060 --> 04:29:49.180
just absolutely flying back to finish off

04:29:49.180 --> 04:29:50.260
the semester 11 and four.

04:29:50.260 --> 04:29:53.300
So to an degree, I say I'm surprised to see West Virginia.

04:29:53.300 --> 04:29:55.220
On the other hand, I'm happy to see them here

04:29:55.220 --> 04:29:57.100
and I'm proud of the team for putting together the pieces

04:29:57.100 --> 04:29:59.220
that they absolutely should have from the beginning

04:29:59.220 --> 04:30:00.780
and deserve this result.

04:30:00.780 --> 04:30:04.340
Yeah, that 8-0 run was almost generational,

04:30:04.340 --> 04:30:07.860
but those who are eliminated, they don't really go home.

04:30:07.860 --> 04:30:10.580
They have a chance to qualify for that spring championship,

04:30:10.580 --> 04:30:13.760
They have to go to the LCQ, the last chance qualifier,

04:30:13.760 --> 04:30:16.380
and that mammoth bracket.

04:30:16.380 --> 04:30:19.100
Taco, help me to make sense of this.

04:30:19.100 --> 04:30:20.780
There's a path of spin championship,

04:30:20.780 --> 04:30:22.460
but how does the team get that?

04:30:22.460 --> 04:30:23.780
So just as a reminder for everyone,

04:30:23.780 --> 04:30:26.900
the format for this semester is you play in qualifiers

04:30:26.900 --> 04:30:29.420
and either make it into league play or you don't.

04:30:29.420 --> 04:30:31.380
Everyone who doesn't make it into league play

04:30:31.380 --> 04:30:32.460
played through opens.

04:30:32.460 --> 04:30:34.420
Based on how well they did across three opens,

04:30:34.420 --> 04:30:35.780
they get points and they get seeded

04:30:35.780 --> 04:30:37.460
as the top eight teams from those.

04:30:37.460 --> 04:30:39.660
That's those teams in the lower left corner,

04:30:39.660 --> 04:30:41.500
those lower round number one.

04:30:41.500 --> 04:30:44.640
And therefore, they have to go through all of that lower bracket,

04:30:44.640 --> 04:30:46.980
also with no other lives.

04:30:46.980 --> 04:30:49.780
This is double elim, but only for those teams in the top.

04:30:49.780 --> 04:30:51.340
You might notice it says league play.

04:30:51.340 --> 04:30:53.660
All those teams that don't make that top four cutoff

04:30:53.660 --> 04:30:54.980
are shoved into the upper bracket.

04:30:54.980 --> 04:30:55.980
They have two lives.

04:30:55.980 --> 04:30:58.900
Some of them get a buy if you are a through fifth.

04:30:58.900 --> 04:31:01.340
And so therefore, that's why we keep talking about seeding,

04:31:01.340 --> 04:31:03.740
what we keep talking about how it matters

04:31:03.740 --> 04:31:05.340
to be able to finish the season strong.

04:31:05.340 --> 04:31:06.900
Because it's not just you throw up your hand and say,

04:31:06.900 --> 04:31:07.940
OK, we'll play in the bracket.

04:31:07.940 --> 04:31:10.660
No, it matters a lot because it gives you not only an extra life,

04:31:10.660 --> 04:31:14.380
but make sure that you are in the best possible position matchup by matchup.

04:31:14.380 --> 04:31:18.940
So a lot to play for, keep your eyes peeled for all the matches still yet to be played.

04:31:18.940 --> 04:31:22.060
Definitely one of those games where you slip it up in the dungeon level.

04:31:22.060 --> 04:31:24.220
Yeah, the fight like 30 people to get out.

04:31:24.220 --> 04:31:26.220
That's exactly what it feels like.

04:31:26.220 --> 04:31:32.260
But the idea of going to the LCQ is to punch a ticket to that spring championship.

04:31:32.260 --> 04:31:36.460
And well, let's take a look on who's already in and who wants to be in.

04:31:36.460 --> 04:31:40.220
we look at who's in and who could potentially be in there.

04:31:40.220 --> 04:31:43.180
What's saying you about potential matchups down the line?

04:31:44.540 --> 04:31:47.980
Well, we know that Maryville Northwood, West Virginia

04:31:47.980 --> 04:31:52.020
are going to be somewhere placed between here.

04:31:52.020 --> 04:31:55.020
The exact placement of one, two, three and four

04:31:55.020 --> 04:31:59.980
still has to be determined on who plays spoiler.

04:31:59.980 --> 04:32:04.980
But honestly, I see good runs out of the likes

04:32:04.980 --> 04:32:12.580
the likes of both West Virginia who's on the up run as we've mentioned. You know if they are feeling

04:32:12.580 --> 04:32:20.420
momentum and feeling good then I see them doing quite well. Northwood has looked shaky so they

04:32:20.420 --> 04:32:25.860
always manage to find what they need to when it comes to championship bracket and we find them

04:32:25.860 --> 04:32:33.540
to be undeniable. So I think right now looking at both of them they're gonna be the two that

04:32:33.540 --> 04:32:39.140
I look at the most but it's kind of hard to figure out yet until like truly see

04:32:39.140 --> 04:32:44.700
where they're seated and that seating does decide if they get a again a first

04:32:44.700 --> 04:32:48.100
round box. Yeah you're absolutely right you're kind of predicting in the dark right

04:32:48.100 --> 04:32:52.100
there so my bad apologies but definitely Maryville is locked in they're our

04:32:52.100 --> 04:32:55.820
number one seated and we get ourselves more shaken up with those who move on

04:32:55.820 --> 04:32:59.100
we'll have more clarity but yeah the spring championship bracket the one

04:32:59.100 --> 04:33:07.260
we're more familiar with definitely it's going to have its its victor at about two weeks time and also happening around the

04:33:07.660 --> 04:33:14.480
CRL space we do have the two v2 opens happening right now open one registration has already closed games will be played

04:33:14.480 --> 04:33:21.660
On April 23rd at 7 p.m. Eastern the two v2 open to registration the final CRL spring event

04:33:21.660 --> 04:33:26.840
You can sign up for it closes Friday equal 24th at 1 p.m. Eastern that's during the day

04:33:26.840 --> 04:33:33.560
make sure you do that in games we played on April 30th at 7 p.m. Eastern. So like a seven day grace period between signing up and

04:33:33.720 --> 04:33:38.280
Actually playing and in the meantime make sure you check out your local kind of the community streams

04:33:38.280 --> 04:33:43.240
Who will be character in some of the games if not only the 2v2 open and of course the lcq up past tackle

04:33:43.240 --> 04:33:46.520
Do you know anyone right now who's be who signed up to cover some of those games?

04:33:48.040 --> 04:33:52.360
lcq or the 2v2's are just both of them. This is both either one. Get your community right now

04:33:52.840 --> 04:33:55.800
I don't know if we have anybody in particular who are gonna be doing that

04:33:55.800 --> 04:34:01.460
But I know that a huge tool suspects will probably be there shout out to shoe shout out to Kev dog shout at pyro shout at TJ

04:34:01.460 --> 04:34:06.320
I think that Nate dog did one as well. I'm trying to remember all the guys who have helped cover throughout the semester

04:34:06.320 --> 04:34:08.460
There's been a handful of them. I don't know if I mentioned pyro J

04:34:08.460 --> 04:34:10.460
That's another one that I would like to shout out as well

04:34:10.680 --> 04:34:11.400
DJ TJ

04:34:11.400 --> 04:34:16.280
I don't know if I mentioned him and that big for both of them are covering that my base the best way to do it

04:34:16.680 --> 04:34:20.840
Just go and look around go go and make sure you guys who have been covering this so far go look through

04:34:20.840 --> 04:34:24.160
So she was going look for the individual teams and honestly go follow the programs

04:34:24.160 --> 04:34:28.640
These programs are usually going to tweet out about where it's going to be somewhere on their social media.

04:34:28.640 --> 04:34:32.240
They're going to have this sort of, you know, hey, go check in here to go watch it.

04:34:32.240 --> 04:34:34.480
A lot of these schools will actually broadcast this themselves.

04:34:34.480 --> 04:34:38.080
I think Winfrup actually is broadcasting all of their final matches on Tuesday.

04:34:38.080 --> 04:34:41.520
I don't know if that's going to be on KevDog's channel, but again,

04:34:41.520 --> 04:34:42.880
go and look for the universities.

04:34:42.880 --> 04:34:43.760
Go look at the pages.

04:34:43.760 --> 04:34:49.040
Their eSports team should usually have some sort of announcement if there is going to be a broadcast and where it's going to be covered.

04:34:49.040 --> 04:34:50.320
Got to give a shout out to the community.

04:34:50.320 --> 04:34:53.760
They really do support not only CRL, but the movement in general.

04:34:54.160 --> 04:35:01.200
two weeks time will be the spring championship will be right here in the mainstream but next week's lcq is going to be covered by our community so

04:35:01.200 --> 04:35:05.480
Before we get out of here this evening. I mean before we say two to lose

04:35:05.480 --> 04:35:09.760
Well some final thoughts of what was going through your mind that this week of league play actors are for you chicks

04:35:09.760 --> 04:35:11.280
So what's it looks on your mind?

04:35:11.280 --> 04:35:17.260
You know league play may be over, but rocket league in the collegiate space is certainly not over one thing about

04:35:17.560 --> 04:35:21.640
Lcq is watch those lower bracket runs every time

04:35:21.640 --> 04:35:23.580
time, someone makes a crazy

04:35:23.580 --> 04:35:25.620
run and I'm sure this one will

04:35:25.620 --> 04:35:27.780
be, you know, without any shock.

04:35:27.780 --> 04:35:28.880
It's going to happen.

04:35:28.880 --> 04:35:30.140
Something crazy is going to happen.

04:35:30.140 --> 04:35:31.640
Someone's going to qualify who we

04:35:31.640 --> 04:35:33.780
think truly shouldn't qualify.

04:35:33.780 --> 04:35:34.280
But you know what?

04:35:34.280 --> 04:35:35.740
They deserve it because that was

04:35:35.740 --> 04:35:36.620
their last chance.

04:35:36.620 --> 04:35:38.580
So really excited to see how that

04:35:38.580 --> 04:35:39.900
all breaks down next week.

04:35:39.900 --> 04:35:41.740
And of course, always excited for

04:35:41.740 --> 04:35:44.140
our double header weekend championship weekend.

04:35:44.140 --> 04:35:45.980
That'll be both Saturday and Sunday.

04:35:45.980 --> 04:35:48.020
So that's exciting when you see

04:35:48.020 --> 04:35:50.580
that kind of double edge weekend.

04:35:50.580 --> 04:35:52.820
sometimes teams do really well on one day

04:35:52.820 --> 04:35:54.740
and really poorly on the next.

04:35:54.740 --> 04:35:58.060
Yeah, to get that top of the mountain is a marathon to do so.

04:35:58.060 --> 04:36:00.300
Poligro, Burrito, Dita Taco,

04:36:00.300 --> 04:36:02.300
what do you think about today's action?

04:36:02.300 --> 04:36:03.580
Any follow-ups?

04:36:03.580 --> 04:36:06.180
Just was a burrito, as I said, as a translation.

04:36:06.180 --> 04:36:08.500
Anyway, yeah, it's been a good weekend.

04:36:08.500 --> 04:36:10.380
I'm a huge fan of how these series ended up.

04:36:10.380 --> 04:36:13.100
And also, we still have a lot of games left to be played

04:36:13.100 --> 04:36:14.900
and those are gonna be in various places.

04:36:14.900 --> 04:36:17.020
So like Bass said, check in the community.

04:36:17.020 --> 04:36:19.900
Most notably, I believe Kepp Dogg might be broadcasting

04:36:19.900 --> 04:36:22.620
All three of Winthrop's remaining series.

04:36:22.620 --> 04:36:24.460
I was just talking to one of the players, T. Corral,

04:36:24.460 --> 04:36:26.820
and apparently they're playing all three of them on Tuesday.

04:36:26.820 --> 04:36:28.860
So you are going to see these rankings,

04:36:28.860 --> 04:36:31.740
all these standings that you see change really drastically

04:36:31.740 --> 04:36:33.860
in the space of about three hours sometimes.

04:36:33.860 --> 04:36:36.260
So all the teams have to get their games in by Wednesday.

04:36:36.260 --> 04:36:37.700
So by Wednesday, we will definitively

04:36:37.700 --> 04:36:39.460
know what that championship bracket looks like.

04:36:39.460 --> 04:36:41.260
And of course, that LCQ bracket,

04:36:41.260 --> 04:36:42.700
which I grew with checks 100%,

04:36:42.700 --> 04:36:44.500
that's going to be absolute pandemonium.

04:36:44.500 --> 04:36:46.340
It's going to be screenshot for screenshot of,

04:36:46.340 --> 04:36:47.620
can you believe this results went through?

04:36:47.620 --> 04:36:49.180
And unfortunately, yeah, you're going to have to believe it

04:36:49.180 --> 04:36:51.220
as this whole semester has been like that.

04:36:51.220 --> 04:36:53.020
Fast for the mother trek and pass.

04:36:53.020 --> 04:36:54.780
What's saying?

04:36:54.780 --> 04:36:56.260
Well, man, it's been a great semester.

04:36:56.260 --> 04:36:58.500
I'm glad that we get to do this ride all over again.

04:36:58.500 --> 04:36:59.980
And I'm glad that all of you guys at home

04:36:59.980 --> 04:37:01.300
get to experience this.

04:37:01.300 --> 04:37:03.020
The big narrative that we've talked a lot about

04:37:03.020 --> 04:37:05.100
is that people have asked for a very long time.

04:37:05.100 --> 04:37:07.620
Rockling, we want us to go back to lean play format.

04:37:07.620 --> 04:37:09.500
With professional circuit, a circuit underneath it,

04:37:09.500 --> 04:37:11.340
they just love this lean play style.

04:37:11.340 --> 04:37:13.220
I hope you guys enjoyed this semester.

04:37:13.220 --> 04:37:14.780
This is what lean play is like.

04:37:14.780 --> 04:37:16.940
This is what Rockling lean play is at its peak,

04:37:16.940 --> 04:37:17.820
in my opinion.

04:37:17.820 --> 04:37:19.340
You want this level of competition.

04:37:19.340 --> 04:37:21.620
You want this level of parody amongst the top teams.

04:37:21.620 --> 04:37:24.700
It's awesome that we are on our final broadcast, closing it out.

04:37:24.700 --> 04:37:27.420
And we still don't know what teams are going to play off.

04:37:27.420 --> 04:37:28.700
So we've got three of them locked.

04:37:28.700 --> 04:37:31.580
There is still potential for one of four teams

04:37:31.580 --> 04:37:33.740
to make it in that final spot.

04:37:33.740 --> 04:37:35.060
It has never been this close.

04:37:35.060 --> 04:37:38.260
It continues to level up every single week.

04:37:38.260 --> 04:37:39.140
I love CRO, man.

04:37:39.140 --> 04:37:41.300
I'm glad that we all got to be back for another semester.

04:37:41.300 --> 04:37:42.780
And we appreciate all of you guys at home

04:37:42.780 --> 04:37:44.860
for sticking with us throughout this entire thing.

04:37:44.860 --> 04:37:47.300
Wouldn't do it with any body else.

04:37:47.300 --> 04:37:49.180
That's right, that concludes the league play.

04:37:49.180 --> 04:37:51.500
Next time you'll see us in about two weeks time

04:37:51.500 --> 04:37:53.900
for the spring championship.

04:37:53.900 --> 04:37:56.380
I can't believe it, really the biggest season

04:37:56.380 --> 04:37:59.460
our CRL is in the books and we are moving on

04:37:59.460 --> 04:38:03.580
to crown our spring champion for our commentary team

04:38:03.580 --> 04:38:06.680
and our Allen spot and Votable and Seb.

04:38:06.680 --> 04:38:08.780
My name is Novanta, we'll see you then.

04:45:47.300 --> 04:45:49.300
I
